⚔︎- Chapter One: The Prisoner's Escape-⚔︎

Y/n stood at the tower window, typical, I know. Far down below, the courtyard bustled with busy working people. Unlit lanterns clang gently against the thick stone wall in the swaying motion from the gentle breeze. That same breeze wafted the smell of a whole hog turning slowly on a spit above the fire. An ensemble of performers from the town spun brightly coloured ribbons over their heads. And Y/n knew that inside the castle, players, jugglers, singers, acrobats, and whores waited to do their duties.

The Yami no dōmei (T: Dark Alliance) Stewardess, Himiko Toga, bounced across the courtyard. She threatened a couple of worker boys who were doing more looking than working.

"Hurry up, you useless bloodbags. His Royal Highness will arrive shortly and see you doing absolutely nothing! What do you think he'll do then, huh?" she let out an insane laugh, watching them scramble at the mention of his mere title.

Y/n didn't so much as laugh. Too often they have seen Prince Shigaraki punish those who had mistakenly displeased him. They shake their head at the remembrance of the screams of the punished. Quickly, Y/n thought of safer memories of their mother telling them tales of the great dragons who protect the innocent. Fascinating creatures they were to Y/n, ever since they were a child.

"Today is the day and this time," Y/n thought fiercely, "this time Shigaraki will let me come down from this tower. He must!"

The Maya blue-coloured sky dimmed into a lavender. A shade of pink outlined the black, twisted trees of the forest. Y/n watched the colors of the sky dance together. Looking below once more, the lanterns were now lit. Almost as if they were scaring away the darkness from the courtyard. All was ready. A distant trumpet sounded. A line of ghost-like lights could be seen floating along the forest road.

"He's here! He's here!" shouted Toga.

At the sound of her voice, the drawbridge went down with a low creaking and moaning. The line of lights came closer and revealed torch-lit horseback riders. Some carried torches, while others carried flowing banners. There was a great clatter of hooves and blaring of trumpets as the riders crossed the drawbridge.

Only one man drew his head up slowly towards the tower as the riders thundered into the courtyard. Y/n stepped back so fast that they almost tripped over the rug. As the curtain fell back into place, a shiver racked down their spine before saying to themselves, "I see he has not forgotten me."

The prince came to visit Y/n only once in a blue moon, so every one to two years. And even that was too many times for their liking. During Prince Shigaraki's last visit, Y/n had been denied permission to walk in the corridor outside their room. Remembering this made Y/n hold their chin up high and stubbornly. This visit, Y/n meant to challenge him. They prayed that their courage wouldn't leave them.

Y/n knew The Prince usually stayed for several weeks, entertaining his many guests with brawls, drinking, many acts, and feasting. Then he would return to his court of villains, and what little peace was back to the small palace. Y/n gritted their teeth as they knew that during those several weeks, maybe even tonight, he would seek them out.

Waiting, Y/n paced the floor of their bedroom tower. The fine fabric of silk wisped around their body at each turn. Nervously, they played with the lace that trimmed the silk garment. The hours passed. Laughter and music floated up from the courtyard, but Y/n would not go back to the window. They made themselves sit on an uncomfortable padded stool.

They were still there when the door opened. Magne, who was Y/n warden and maid, ducked inside the room. The man behind her was not as tall but lean with narrow shoulders. But it was his face that drew the focus. It was pale, scratch-littered, with sunken eyes that looked like two blood droplets, and a dark expression.

"Well? Stand up and greet your Prince!" Shigaraki snapped.

Y/n stood up and forced themself to hold their head high in defiance. They met his icy look without flinching, which most cannot do. But Y/n could tell that he was not pleased with what he saw.

"They grow more like their mother every day… How could Hana marry an American is beyond my understanding. Look at their h/c and s/c!"

He made a sound of disgust and moved away from them.

"If they didn't bear the birthmark that Hana did, no one would recognize them as one of us!" he said.

Magne let out a laugh, but she stopped when The Prince spun to glare at her. Y/n remained where they were, they didn't dare speak. They couldn't.

"Still, they have the upbringing and bearing befitting one of royal blood. If they went down amongst the commoners, they just might…" His voice trailed off while he scratched at his neck. "But we'll see that doesn't happen, won't we Magne?"

Yes, My Lord," Magne said.

Y/n looked at her maid with eyes that seemed to blaze e/c. Prince Shigaraki inhaled deeply. He turned away.

"Does they not speak? Toga cut out their tongue?" He asked Magne.

"Yes, they speak," she said sourly. "And it's sharp like a dagger too."

"ah, I see. So, they are stubborn then? Willful?"

"Yes again My Lord. For all the time we've had her, you'd think they were the royal highness." Magne said with a sneer.

Prince Shigaraki frowned. He looked back at Y/n. "They grow like a weed. Soon they will propose a threat to my throne. Something will need to be done… It will be decided before my visit here is done."

Magne threw a barbed glance at Y/n. They felt their dislike for their maid once more and knew that she wouldn't miss the long climb up the tower steps if they were gone.

After one last pensive look at Y/n, Prince Shigaraki stalked out as Magne followed suit by shutting the door. Y/n rushed across their room to the closed door and pressed their cheek against the wood. Their heart sank as they heard the loud click as the door was locked from the outside.

"Someday… sometimes," Y/n promised themselves fiercely, "they'll forget."

Then the hot anger Y/n felt left them, and they slid to the floor. What had Shigaraki meant? Y/n wondered. What would he do to them before he left? Y/n shuddered. All their efforts to escape had ended in embarrassingly quick captures by Shigarki's goons. Now, despite the risks, Y/n knew that they must try again.

Deep in thought, Y/n didn't hear the lock click again. The moving door caught them by surprise. Y/n rolled over quickly to keep from getting hit as it swung open. Magne came back in, muttering to herself. Y/n remained where they were, hidden by the opened door. Sudden hope made their heart skip a beat, and they held their breath.

"Oh dear heart, probably on the bed pouting again," Magne complained.

She saw the food tray across the room and went to go grab it.

"No more climbing those stairs, I'm done my leg day for the night. I will be downstairs enjoying my evening of ale!" She called into the bedroom.

When she didn't get an answer, she grunted. A few more steps lead Magne to the arch that led to Y/n's sleeping quarters. Muttering to herself once more, she peered inside.

For a quick moment, Y/n's body felt glued to the floor. Then suddenly they were up and out the wooden door. One good pull swung that heavy door shut. Y/n used both hands to turn the enchanted quirk-cancelling key. They stopped to listen. They could tell that Magne was pounding on the door. They also knew that no one could hear her. Even in the downtime of the palace, it was hard to hear beyond the thick wood. Tonight would be extremely impossible.

Y/n descended the winding staircase cautiously, even though they felt like rushing down with joy. From previous efforts to escape, they knew that the stairs branched out like roots of a tree in many directions. Y/n took one of the left corridors that led to the art gallery that overlooked the great hall. The noise below was deafening to their ears due to hearing little each day.

Y/n hid behind the folds of the monstrous tapestry. The guests and singer were downstairs but Y/n knew that the singers would soon return to the art gallery for their moments break. Quickly, their e/c eyes scanned the crowd.

Y/n saw no one they could trust. Their father was assassinated by Shigaraki's right-hand man and bounty hunter, Dabi before they were born. And their mother died soon after Y/n's birth. "Uncle" or Prince Shigaraki had kept them locked away and hidden in the palace as they grew older. The servants had been chosen for their loyalty to him. Any guest who happened to catch a quick glimpse of Y/n's face at the window thought that it was a gosht haunting the tower.

Toga had taken great delight in passing along that story. Y/n's mouth curled into a smirk of satisfaction as they thought of the punishment that his servants would get in the morning due to their escape. Their gaze left the guests and went to the servants.

"…Servants…" Y/n muttered to themselves. They watched the servants buzz around, tending to guests. Y/n brows creased in thought.

"They are wearing clothes used only for their work in the palace. Nothing can be taken home… They have to change somewhere, downstairs?" Y/n thought.

Ripping down a tapestry and flipping it around, Y/n made a makeshift cloak. It covered their face and only trailed slightly on the floor. They hurried down the steps and into the throng of people in the great hall, hoping that they would be mistaken for a commoner who provided the acrobatic acts. No one stopped them. Y/n walked quickly out of the great hall and down a lower corridor with the same success. Everyone was too busy working, drinking, and or playing to pay attention to them wandering around. Near the courtyard, they found what they were looking for. On one wall were multiple clothes of different sizes on pegs. Y/n searched around until they found a worn frock and rough shoes, they appeared to belong to someone on the kitchen staff.

Quickly stripping off the cloth they had on now, they pulled on the escape disguise. Y/n crept back down the hallway and stopped long enough to put their silk garments in a deep vase where they would not be found. Then, pulling the cloak back around their face, they slid out the door into the courtyard.

Y/n moved around the fringes of the bustling crowd, keeping to the shadows. Only once did they turn aside to avoid running into Toga and found themself looking directly into the eyes fire breather hired as an act. His ruby-red eyes stood out from the painted mask, they seemed to stare right into Y/n's heart. Y/n stared back, unable to move. Then the crowd shifted, pushing them along. Y/n wriggled and thrust their way back into the shadows. When they looked back, the fire-breather was gone as if he disappeared into thin air.

"Hurry," Y/n told themself over their pounding heart. Desperately they searched for a way out without being detected. That's when they saw a wagon off by itself, being loaded with empty ale barrels. Y/n waited until the men finished loading the wagon and prayed that it would pass the drawbridge unchallenged. The men waved the driver a merry farewell, that's when Y/n scrambled into the back and squeezed themself between the barrels.

Y/n pulled the tapestry completely over their face and became a shadow themself. Y/n lay perfectly still, hardly breathing for fear of getting caught. The wagon rattled and jostled across the courtyard slowly. When the challenge came, Y/n clamped their teeth together to keep them from chattering out loud. Then the granting voice of the gatekeeper, Spinner, came ringing out. Along with a few cheerful insults to the driver. The driver yelled back, roaring with laughter, and the wagon creaked onward through the gate.

The wheels rumbled over the boards and onto the dirt road, leading to the dark forest. As the twisted trees appeared, Y/n jumped into action and slipped out the back of the wagon, dropping to the ground. Triumph tingled through Y/n, pushing away all fear that once resided. Y/n started walking through the tree line and that walking turned into a run.

"I'm free. I-I'm finally free!" Y/n called to the night.

Thanks for reading, hope it was enjoyable!! Make sure to stick around for ⚔︎- Chapter Two: The Dark Forest-⚔︎

Ishizu for the character ask game

Damn girl... All of them?

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

I love Ishizu mostly because of how she treats Kaiba. She's so snarky and straight forward towards him and just from their first interaction we get what her personality is all about. A no nonsense woman that is still caring, but just wants to get things done in an efficient way / the way the necklace gave her.

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

How on her duel with Kaiba, she primarily uses graveyard effects (that honestly weren't the best, but because things were still getting figured out I'll give it a pass.) with very few monsters and she still almost cooks him. Do you know how bad Ishizu cards used to be? They weren't the best at all! That duel is honestly one of my favorites, I hate Blue Eyes players.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

She never interacted with Yami Bakura

(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Puss and Boots. Only as an ally for him though.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Double Lariat by Agoaniki (I think???). It just sounds Ishizu core.

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

We both have two brothers. A big one and a little one.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I love for and breathe in Mom-shizu

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

I don't like how some people make her either really dismissive of Marik's problems, really over invested in his problems, or over sexualize her.

The first two are a problem because Ishizu has been shown to give Marik the space he needs to think, and distancing yourself from a frankly abusive person is a pretty normal thing to do. She never abandoned Marik, she still loves him. She just gives him when needed.

I don't even have to explain why I hate the last thing.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Yes.

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

No. Most likely loose acquaintances.

11. Would you date this character?

Yes.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I've already said this, but I love the idea of her seeing Yami Bakura's backstory and feeling so bad for him.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

🔮 And ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Light Academia, business casual, or cottage core.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Museumshipping!!!! Rahhh!!!!!

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

I don't like Mai x Ishizu. They just don't have personalities that blend well enough for me to ship them.

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

Ishizu x Pegasus. It's alright. I just don't like it.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Ishizu's interactions with Téa are some of the sweetest ever. Téa is always so worried about Yami and Ishizu is there to comfort her 🥺. It's so cute.

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

There is none.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Mai. I may not like them shipped together, but boy oh boy do I think they'd be great friends.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

I like when she's shipped with Yami Bakura. I have only read one bad fic of them.

I don't like when she's dismissive or over involved with Marik.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

I love how Takahashi drew her here <3

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Honestly, a lot of how I characterize Ishizu has inspiration from Clawdeen Wolf. But only when it comes to how they treat she friends and family.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

When I first saw Ishizu: ooooo pretty lady <3

Now: oh she has a deep backstory and is an interesting character… cool <3

26. FREEBIE QUESTION!!

Using this as an opportunity to talk about museumshipping.

Since Yami Bakura and Ishizu have different diets (Ishizu doesn't eat meat, Yami Bakura does), she does most of the cooking. Bakura, however, hates this. So they came to an agreement that Bakura will learn how to cook more than just eggs, and Ishizu will expand her diet to include eggs.

(not) Alone (Swapped Destinies)

Every step closer had the pit in his stomach growing larger, the vice in his chest squeezing tighter. The deafening silence in his head became more and more unbearable, until he wanted to scream just to hear something.

Something that wasn't the painful echo of his own failure. 

He took a deep breath in, tightened his grip on the reins when he let it out.

…This wasn't his body, he knew that, he always had. But he'd always used it with permission- or nearly always, at least. He'd always been in control with Seto hovering over his shoulder, sometimes in the literal sense.

Seto had always been there, present, keeping an eye on him, making sure he didn't do something stupid.

Now he wasn't. Because he'd ignored his advice time and time again.

And Yami was left, alone, in a body that he'd never been more aware he was an intruder in.

I'm sorry, he apologized uselessly to the gaping hole where a room should be, I’m so sorry, Seto, if only I’d listened-

“Hey! There you are!”

Yami looked up with a start, instinctively pulling the horse to a stop as he realized he'd arrived back at the trailer while lost in his thoughts.

It was Tristan who had called out, jogging over to him with a relieved grin on his face. “Finally- we were starting to get worried, Seto! Did it really take you that long to beat that guy?”

The name echoed through the Empty Space, and Yami flinched, something that seemingly went unnoticed as Tristan continued. “Ah, whatever- c’mon, Mokuba’s asleep but he’ll be thrilled to know that you’re-” “No,” Yami snapped without thought, and a fresh wave of guilt washed over him immediately after the fact, even if Tristan didn’t look hurt by it. “...Don’t wake him up,” he said in a gentler tone, averting his gaze and putting his focus into dismounting the horse, Seto’s long limbs feeling somewhat alien despite how long they’d been partners. Can I even call myself that, after what I’ve done to him?

“C’mon, I know he needs his sleep and all,” his friend sighed, crossing his arms, “but he was up all night worrying about you- running headfirst into a duel without thought isn’t exactly normal for you, dude.”

I know, he wanted to say, I was reckless, and foolish, and if I’d stopped for even a moment to think, perhaps he’d still be here-“Please, Tristan,” he whispered, now holding the reins in one hand, gripping them like a lifeline, like it was the only thing keeping him from spiraling off into the depths of his own mind, into a void he could barely comprehend.

The other boy paused, mouth open, and squinted at him, as if finally looking at him for the first time, noticing the differences between the body’s two inhabitants.

Maybe he could see what was missing, too.

“...Yami?” Tristan guessed, confusion coloring his tone, “what, did Seto not wanna ride the horse? Did he just beat the guy up instead of dueling him and get tired from that?”

His throat tightened. He felt like he might throw up.

How can I even face them now? They’re Seto’s friends first, I’m sure they’ll be furious with me- and gods, how can I look Mokuba in the eye and tell him I failed his brother…?

“Yami,” again, Tristan’s voice drew him from his thoughts, but this time it was accompanied by a hand on his arm, tugging Yami to face him. “What happened? Why isn’t Seto in control?”

He stared down at the other, struggling to breathe properly around the lump in his throat.

His eyes burned, and something in him broke.

"H-he's gone," Yami choked out, shaking his head slowly. "He- th-the Orichalcos…"

I lost. I was overconfident, and angry, and I lost-

"What?" Tristan visibly startled, searching his face. "He- no, no way Seto lost to that guy-"

He didn't. He wouldn't have, I bet, we've always worked the best together-

…and I just threw that away the first chance I got. 

Yami pulled away from him, turning away and squeezing his eyes shut so he wouldn't have to see the other's face.

"H-he didn't," he mumbled, shaky, drawing his arms up to loosely hold himself. "I- I did. I dueled him, and I lost, a-and Seto, he…"

He trailed off into silence, hunching his shoulders and waiting for the words swirling around in his head to be spoken aloud, the words already echoing in his ears with the pounding of his heartbeat. 

I can't believe I was so stupid, it's my fault he's gone, it's my fault Mokuba won't have his brother when he wakes up, it's my fault that everyone's lost their friend, it's all my fault-

"Yami!"

Hands gripped his upper arms and shook him, abruptly yanking Yami out of his thoughts, and he opened his eyes to see Tristan in front of him again, expression sharp, but lacking the anger he'd expected, that he'd braced himself for.

"Dude, breathe," the boy commanded, "you're gonna make yourself pass out."

He stared for a moment, not comprehending him, until he faintly realized the pain in his chest had been joined by something else, and he felt dizzy and oh, he wasn't doing that was he-?

Yami swallowed before drawing in an uneven breath, trying to pull his focus to the hands holding him while he reminded himself how to breathe, suddenly aware that he'd started shaking, and he felt strangely cold. 

an anxiety attack…?

He'd seen them, but he didn't think that he would ever… "That's it, buddy," Tristan murmured, and the hands squeezed his arms, "just take a minute and breathe, I gotcha."

It was hard to tell how long it took, just standing there with only the sound of his own gasping breaths, but the pain in his chest slowly lessened back to the ache it'd been before, and his head stopped spinning so much, making it easier to focus on his friend in front of him.

"...I-I'm alright," he managed to speak, though his voice was faint, quiet in a way he'd never heard from either of them.

Tristan seemed to look him over for a moment before he nodded, letting go of him and taking a small step back.

"Good, now listen to me."

And Yami did, because he'd never heard Tristan like this before- calm but confident, commanding attention.

…He sort of sounded like Seto.

"I don't know what happened in your duel, and I sure don't know what's going through your head right now." Tristan crossed his arms, frowning lightly. "But what I do know is that we will get Seto back, and we'll kick that guy's ass for taking him away in the first place."

Yami winced, a fresh wave of guilt washing over him. "B-but I'm-"

"No," Tristan interrupted his protest with a firm shake of his head, "you didn't make the card, you're not the one terrorizing the city with monsters, and I know you didn't make Seto take your place, because not even you could make him do that. This is the fault of that crazy guy Dartz, and we're going to stop him, and get Seto and everyone else he's taken back. You got that? We're all gonna do it, together."

He could only nod mutely, though he relaxed somewhat at his words despite the hard tone.

Right. I won't be saving Seto alone, I'll have him, Tea, Joey, and everyone else… 

…looking back, he really had been spiraling the whole ride back- building up their reactions to the worst over and over again, until even Mokuba was shouting his failure at him too.

Yami breathed out slowly, and nodded again, this time finding his voice.

"Yeah, I- I've got it… Thank you, Tristan."

Tristan finally grinned, looking like himself again. "Of course! What're friends for, if not shaking some sense back into you when you're losing your head?"

He chuckled, just a faint, breathy sort of noise. "I suppose I should thank you for not doing so by punching me."

"Eh, wanted to save the punching for the people that deserve it," Tristan waved a hand and started back towards the trailer. "Now c'mon! We've gotta come up with our game plan!"

Yami grabbed the horse's reins again and followed him, though he wasn't quite hearing what the other was saying again, instead hearing Seto's voice echoing back to him from that last moment. 

"Keep him safe!"

I will. I swear to you, I will.

He tied up the horse, letting that thought repeat firmly in his mind.

First and foremost, before any plans are made… I need to talk to Mokuba.

[A-Tier] The Fallen Angel - Angel Drew

[A-Tier] The Grieving Heart - Yami Kazuichi

{ @idv-artists-trio / @the-oletus-parlor }

"Every rose whispers a prayer for you, my beloved, as I navigate this labyrinth of longing. I grieve for you within the garden's embrace, understanding that your absence has forever changed me."

"My memory of you has all but faded away… Yet why does my heart ache whenever I see you?"

BIO:-

Yami and Angel were but only simple lovers who ran away from a dark and suffocating life to be free and safe. It so happened they found themselves within the Mirror Realm while on the run, and yet shockingly, The Emperor was kind enough to allow the two to stay and be free within his realm as long as they didn't create any trouble for him, which they did.

They followed the rules, no matter how strict they could be at times, yet overall they lived together peacefully and with no trouble at all. Years passed, and they thought their lives here were much better than how they were back in the real world, until one faithful day… Yami had been accused of a crime he didn't commit yet, no matter how much he bled for his innocence, and claiming that someone may have just impersonated him to falsely accuse him! The Emperor wouldn't believe him. He was furious! So much so that not even his royal adviser can calm him down, and he has decided to punish Yami for his crimes! Yet before he can do so, Angel steps in and begs the Empror to punish him instead and spear his beloved’s life, which Yami was horrified to hear!

It took awhile to convince him, but the Empror at last agrees and demands the guards to send Yami away while he gives Angel the punishment instead. With one final kiss, Angel waved his goodbyes to his beloved, who tried hopelessly to escape the gaurds's grabs but with no use, and before the door of the throne room shut, he managed to see how The Empror Shattering Angel to many pieces.

....

Yami was devastated for days and tried to have a chance to meet with The Emperor once again to try and fix things, but when he finally managed to have a meeting with him, he found out that Angel didn't die that day, and instead the emperor decided to play a cruel joke and turn Angel into a puppet of his who acts as a mindless guard, not even able to speak or remember the one that he sacrificed his life and freedom for…

{Some random facts I liked to add!}

Angel’s eyes are like a mirror now that is shattered after what has happen!

Among all the characters, Angel is the only one who dies in each Cycle no matter what! And whenever a new one begins, a new flower gonna form on him as a symbol of his death in the last one even if he dose not remember. (Tho he would be able to survive at the main ending ^3^!)

Angel and Laurence in this au are quite close and you can say maybe even besties despite the state Angel is in.

In the story, Angel would be literally after your tail like cat and mouse! and would try to end you since The Emperor order for your demise so there would be a lot of mini fights with him until the main one! (Yet doing those fights you can try and befriend him so you be able to have him on your side)

Yami is one of the important characters in the story in many aspects. He is also a one of the main bosses in the story.

There is multiple ended with Yami from good,natural and bad.

Yami’s garden is basically a big maze of red roses where he own a huge house in the middle of it. Normally, the plants in this realm are rare and especially if they are natural ones and not ones made with in the mirror realm or something like that. so~ it is shocking that Yami has a full maze with red roses… don’t ask how he made it and where he found the roses.

Most of Angel’s death in the cycle is actually by Yami’s hands… why? CUZ ANGST!!!

Angel ans Yami are one of the oldest people within the mirror world, being stuck within it for centuries much like Phineas and Laurence.

……….

The sound of heavy footsteps and the wind rang in Nacht's ears. His heart raced in his chest while he took quick, excited breaths. His surroundings blurring as he dashed past them all. Along the way, he brushed past several people, earning indignant shouts of "Hey!" and "Watch it!" But no one could catch him. Either they didn't bother to try or he slipped into a shadow and out of their grasp.

"Hah! Your moves have been getting slicker, haven't they?" Someone called from behind Nacht.

A figure moved past and ahead of Nacht. A mess of black hair and clothes showing wear and tear. The foreign guy Nacht had made his friend several months ago. Yami Sukehiro.

"Sure have! I'm not letting some uptight Magic Knight one-up me!" Nacht laughed as he applied reinforcement magic to his legs and caught up to Yami.

"Uptight?! Me?"

A cart rolled into the middle of the street Nacht and Yami were running through. Yami vaulted himself over the cart while Nacht dived under via the shadow it cast.

"It's only been a month and you've already forgotten what I'm like? Man, dumbass!" Yami laughed once he and Nacht were side-by-side, matching pace. "Don't worry! I'm still ready to leave you in my dust!"

Yami suddenly raced ahead of Nacht, his strong body and reinforcement magic working together to give him a boost. He then swerved to the side, headed towards a building at the street's edge.

"Race you up top!"

"You're on, Yami!"

Nacht quickly surveyed the area. Yami was headed to a one-story building. The neighboring building had a chimney which cast a shadow right on top of the one Yami was going to climb. The perfect opportunity. Nacht wouldn't even have to break a sweat to get ahead of Yami. Nacht dove into a nearby shadow. Navigating the darkness was already a breeze for Nacht and he quickly climbed the chimney shadow to the rooftop. He jumped out of the roof and took off in a run, tiles clacking beneath his boots.

"Way to show off, bastard!" Yami yelled from behind Nacht, a laugh in his voice.

"Humility is for fucking losers!" Nacht approached the building's ledge. He kicked off the ledge then jumped the gap of the alley. "WOOHOO!"

"You're not gonna lose me that easily, punk!"

Across the rooftops Nacht and Yami went. It was a back and forth between Yami’s physical prowess and Nacht’s shadow transportation as the boys competed for the lead. They had no end in mind, they merely reveled in the rush of the wind and the challenge. People yelled from down below, something about disturbing the peace, which only made the boys cackle. Nacht grinned, feeling wild and alive.

Nacht kept going. Until he realized that the gap between the roof he was on and the upcoming roof was wider, the result of crossing a main street rather than an alleyway. He skidded to a halt at the roof’s edge and examined the distance.

Maybe I ought to just use my shadows to cross. Or could I make the jump? I’ll need a new running st— “GAHK!”

A foot slammed into Nacht’s back—“Get a move on!” Yami grunted—and sent him hurtling off the roof. The ground came to greet Nacht before he could even cast a spell.

.....

[Lord Morow took Giselle’s hand. Their eyes met, sparkling in the moonlight. The gravity of the moment drew them closer together. Their breaths mingled. And—]

The door burst open and a servant yelled, “Sir Morgen, your presence is required at Faust Manor!”

“Yes yes, I can be there right away!” Morgen yelped while shoving the novel he had been reading under his pillow. He then stared at the man in the doorway. “What am I needed for exactly?”

The man let out a concerned sigh then said, “Sir Nacht has been brought home injured and—”

Morgen didn’t need to hear the rest. Ignoring the shouts of the messenger, he grabbed his broom and ran out onto his room’s balcony. He took off towards home from there. With the speed Morgen traveled at, he could hear the wind roaring in his ears and feel its cold sting against his face. Neither bothered him though. Getting back home and being there for his brother, his family, in a time of need made any discomfort negligible.

How did Nacht get hurt? Morgen wondered. It can’t be a spell gone wrong! Nacht is too talented for that! An assassin out to hurt our family?! He lowered himself on his broom to be more aerodynamic. Don’t worry, Nacht, I’m on my way!

It didn’t take long for Morgen to get home, burst in through the front door, and make a beeline for Nacht’s room. The scene that greeted Morgen when he entered was Nacht lying on his stomach with his chin propped up on a pillow.

“Nacht! I heard that you got hurt!” Morgen exclaimed while going to Nacht’s bedside.

“Leave me alone,” Nacht grumbled and turned his head away.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that! I came all the way from my squad’s base to make sure you’re okay!” Morgen opened up his grimoire and surrounded his hands with light. “Now, tell me where it hurts!”

“My pride.”

“Pfff!” Morgen kept himself from laughing. Instead, he facepalmed and groaned. “Naaacht! Really?”

“My funny bone wasn’t damaged at least.” Nacht started to laugh only to flinch and grumble in pain. “Shit…”

“Brother, please! Where does it hurt? Let me heal you!”

“You don’t need to! You should quit worrying!” Nacht shoved his face into his pillow only to yank his head back up and hiss in pain.

Morgen hastily turned Nacht’s head so he could apply healing magic to his face. Nacht’s face was scraped up and his right eye was bruised. Once the damage there was dealt with, Nacht gestured to his back. Morgen nodded and moved his focus there.

He took solace in the fact that Nacht began to relax as the healing spell did its work. Nacht relaxing was a rare sight those days. Usually, Nacht seemed wound up and bothered whenever Morgen visited home and insisted they talk. Morgen wondered what it was that made Nacht tense. Did he do something wrong to upset Nacht? Maybe it was all the insistence that he be a Magic Knight too. Whatever it was, Morgen let it go. For now.

When Morgen finished his spell, Nacht rolled on his back and looked at him. His expression was blank, unreadable.

“By the way, shouldn’t you be working?”

“I was on break. ” Morgen let out a weak chuckle. “But I’ll likely have to explain my absence from the base later. And if I may ask a question of my own, how did you get injured in the first place?”

Nacht averted his eyes and scowled. “That shithead Yami…”

“Yami?” Morgen repeated, skeptically raising a brow. “He didn’t drag you into a street brawl did he?”

“Tch, no.” Nacht proceeded to relay the events that led to his injury to Morgen.

Morgen nodded along to the story. When Nacht stated that Yami kicked his back and into the street, Morgen’s eyes shot open. He saw the way Nacht glared at the ceiling. How Nacht’s hand subconsciously went to rub his side where his rib had been hurting.

“Did he really?” Morgen asked, breaking his silence.

“Yeah, I just said he did, didn’t I?” Nacht exclaimed while throwing his arms in the air. “What an impatient moron, am I right?” His scowl turned into an amused smirk. “But now I have an excuse to fuck with him.”

“No need to worry about that, brother.” Morgen stood up and brushed imaginary dirt from his clothes. “As your brother, a Magic Knight, and Yami’s co-worker, I’ll address the situation with him.” He made his way to the door.

“Hey, who’s the older brother between us?” Nacht snapped. “I don’t need you sticking your nose in my business.”

“Sorry! I already am!” Morgen waved his hand and left the room.

.....

The next day, Morgen rolled up to Yami’s room with a trolley carrying a tea set as well as snacks to go along with the tea. He rapped his knuckles against the door, sensing Yami’s presence within.

“Good afternoon Yami,” Morgen said in greeting. “I thought that we could have tea together after that morning patrol!”

A moment later, Yami opened the door with a bored look and the words “You know I’m not a tea party kind of dude.”

“But you do like tea and I know you can’t turn down free food,” Morgen replied with an eager grin. He gestured to the trolley. “I even went through the trouble of brewing your favorite blend of tea! And since it’s just the two of us, it’s not even really a party!”

With that, Morgen happily barged into Yami’s room and set everything out on the coffee table in the space. The pot holding Yami’s preferred brew was on one side and the pot for Morgen was on the other. Morgen put the cream and sugar on his own side, knowing he would be using them most of the time. The tiered serving trays of small pastries and sandwiches were placed at the center.

“Let’s enjoy!” Morgen said as he took a seat in an armchair.

“Sure, sure.” Yami lounged on the couch opposite to Morgen’s seat.

Thus, Morgen and Yami began to enjoy an afternoon tea together. A faint clinking sound was heard when Morgen stirs the sugar and cream into his tea. Meanwhile, Yami easily finished his first cup in a couple of gulps. Morgen brought his cup to his face and inhaled the sweet aroma of perfectly steeped tea leaves before taking a first sip.

“Damn, Morgen, why ya’ gotta do every little thing so precisely?” Yami asked as he munched on a small sandwich.

Morgen hummed and answered, “Because that’s how I feel like doing things. I suspect you would say the same about how you always barrel into situations. Sometimes, it seems like you’re in a rush to do everything.”

“Life is already so slow, why make it feel slower?” Yami asked like it was a challenge, making Morgen chuckle a little.

The young men fell into a comfortable flow of talking about their lives between sips—or slurps in Yami’s case—of tea and bites of snacks.

“So the last mission I went on, I ran into this gentleman named William. Apparently, he operates from the squad’s second base…”

Yami hummed with curiosity.

“I had to buy a new whetstone for my katana. I think I got scammed at the last place.”

Morgen gave a sympathetic sigh to Yami’s situation.

“I’m getting a new suit tailored for a gala. The seamstress was quite friendly and mentioned I have a nice figure. Whatever that means.”

That earned a laugh from Yami.

“Won my first game of poker the other day. I think I—” Yami paused upon feeling his stomach churn awkwardly. Morgen quirked a brow at the face Yami knew he was making. “‘S nothing… Anyway, it was probably luck that everyone stunk more than me.”

During the conversation, Yami noticed how the line of Morgen’s sight kept moving. Away from Yami and towards the teapot with the tea blend meant for him. It was quick yet observing glances once in a while, but it was guaranteed to happen each time Yami refilled his cup, which he was doing for the fourth time. That action, along with the large size of Yami’s teapot, stuck out as weird.

“The fuck are you looking at the teapot for?” Yami asked, cutting straight to the point.

“You’re going through the tea quite fast,” Morgen observed simply. “You’re enjoying it? Did I make it right?”

“Yeah. Tastes fine. Little different though.” Yami took another gulp. “This isn’t your first time making it, is it?”

“Oh no!” Morgen answered quickly. “I learned how to prepare tea a while ago! I’m merely anxious about the tea I made for you today. I tried some new additives. I’m actually using a coffee creamer instead of regular cream in my tea today!”

There was hesitation. But no lie in the statement.

Another weird thing Yami felt was in his gut. He felt his insides begin to cramp. Likely indigestion or diarrhea. Maybe his breakfast and the tea time snacks weren’t mixing well in his stomach? It wasn’t anything too unusual for Yami so he believed he could power through it. However, he was proven wrong halfway through his sixth cup.

“Give me a sec!” With that said, Yami bolted for the connected bathroom.

Yami emerged a few minutes later. He saw Morgen sipping his tea in peace, utterly undisturbed.

“It sounded like you were being murdered in there,” was all Morgen remarked with a blithe grin once Yami was seated.

“Shut the fuck up.”

The conversation resumed but Yami found that he could hardly concentrate with the churning sensation in his gut that persisted. He tried to chat through the pain, to wait for it to pass, but it didn’t. In fact, it got worse as time went on. In fact, over and over, Yami kept going to the bathroom to relieve himself.

Morgen had to be a saint to put up with Yami’s situation. Sitting patiently and overhearing whatever unfortunate sounds escaped the confines of the bathroom. All with that same pleasant smile.

After Yami’s seventh round with the porcelain throne, Yami collapsed on his couch. His ass was in pain, he didn’t embarrass easily but he felt the weight of shame on his shoulders, and worse yet, he ran out of toilet paper. Yami glared at Morgen.

“God dammit, Morgen, what the fuck did you put in that tea?”

Morgen smiled and set down his teacup before leaning back in the armchair he sat in. “Well I steeped the tea leaves for a little longer than usual to strengthen the flavor. I heard that bay leaves richen the flavor as well, in a subtle and earthy way since you’re not a fan of sweetness. There’s a dash of cinnamon for spicy sweetness. And…” Morgen touched a finger to his chin in thought. After a—clearly staged, who was Morgen kidding—moment of thought, he perked up and exclaimed, “Extra strength laxatives!”

Yami didn’t need to think twice. He swept aside the set up on the coffee table then lunged at Morgen while swinging. Morgen leapt out of the way in the nick of time.

“Don’t run, you little shit stain! The fuck are you drugging my tea for?!”

When Yami asked that question, Morgen’s smile immediately dropped. The look in his eyes was not like the clear sky on a summer day but a lake of solid ice in winter. Yami had never seen such a look on his friend’s face. Morgen looked at Yami with a disgust and disapproval similar to the looks other nobles had given him before. But with Morgen, there was something darker, more dangerous, to the stare. It made Yami freeze in place.

“Consider it karma for injuring Nacht yesterday,” Morgen stated coldly. “I understand that you two are friends and I know how rough you can be, but what you did was crossing the line. If that building had been one story higher or Nacht was a little less durable, his injuries could’ve been far worse.” Morgen tilted his head back. “Do you understand?”

“Ugh, look, I already told Nacht I was sor—”

Morgen clicked his tongue and shook his head. “Oh no, Nacht didn’t put me up to this. This was all my idea. See, even if you’re my brother’s friend. Even if you’re my friend. Nacht is my brother and he means more to me than anyone else in the world. Thus, I cannot let someone, not even you, get away with hurting Nacht without any punishment.” Morgen sighed, his air of cold judgment breaking for just a moment. “But I couldn’t retaliate against you, not in a directly aggressive way. So I decided to play to your weakness, a rather mundane one at that. It isn’t the same but I wanted you to experience pain and discomfort the way Nacht did after you caused him harm.”

“Yeah you really got the discomfort part…”

“I’m glad,” Morgen said while smiling, though it lacked any of the usual brightness. It was Morgen creating a twisted reflection of himself. “I hope you now know that my kindness can run out, especially for those who hurt Nacht.”

“Your message came across crystal clear, Morgen,” Yami grumbled, rubbing his stomach as it cramped again.

“Oh good!” Morgen said, perking up once more. As if his state of cruelty had never occurred. He looked at the mess on the floor. “I’ll go grab some cleaning supplies and we can get that taken care of!” He skipped to the door and left with a cheery wave.

“Damn…” Yami replayed what had occurred in his head and let out a huff. “What the hell, man?” Suddenly, he felt a jab in his guts and he scrambled for the bathroom.

Had anyone been passing by Yami’s room at the time, they would’ve heard him scream “FUUUUUCK!” to the high heavens.

.....

“Bwahahahahaha!” Nacht threw himself backwards on his bed, holding his stomach with one hand and wiping tears with his other. “Oh! My! God! Spiking his tea with laxatives!”

“Oh that wasn’t the end of it either! I even asked the kitchen staff to serve beans and extra spicy wings for dinner!” Morgen explained with a guilty frown on his face.

“Gaaahahahahaaa! Oh man! Eeh hee hee hee!�� He folded on himself as his hysterics continued. It took a good few minutes for Nacht to calm and catch his breath. Once he did, he yelled, “Morgen, you’re a menace!”

“I knoooow!” Morgen whined as he covered his bright pink face. “I still can’t believe I went through with it! It’s awful!”

“Naah!” Nacht tossed a pillow which collided with the side of Morgen’s head. “It’s awesome!”

“But Yami’s never going to forgive me!”

“Don’t be stupid,” Nacht said. He sat up and ruffled Morgen’s hair. “Yami’ll let it go eventually. He’s got a short fuse but he doesn’t hold onto shit.” He smirked. “Snrk, he doesn’t hold in shit either.”

“PFFT!” Morgen clamped his hands over his mouth to cover the unflattering snort.

From Morgen’s laughter and embarrassment, Nacht began to snicker again. Nacht’s laughter eased Morgen which caused him to join in. Soon, they were both laughing so hard that they ached.

All felt right with the world at that moment. Morgen and Nacht both felt it. The comfort that came with talking with one another casually. Sharing amusement the way they did when pranking their parents or visitors by posing as one another. Letting down the walls they put up when performing as a noble Magic Knight or stalking the streets as a delinquent. Their differences no longer existed for the first time in a while and if only for that moment.

To themselves, they were simply Nacht and Morgen, brothers and nothing more.

Black Clover Headcannons

Prompt: What it's like to be best friends with Black Clover characters. (outlining how you met, why they like you as a friend, what your relationship is like and what you like to do together).

Includes Asta, Yami, Mereoleona and Nozel.

Asta:

To be honest, I think it would be very difficult to become Asta's number one best friend, considering how well he gets along with literally everyone.

I'd say to have an advantage you would have to have known him from an earlier stage – namely his childhood in Hage village.

Before you were friends, he would always see you running around and helping at the local tilling fields. You were a peasant out in the country side of the Forbidden Realm, just as he was.

What initially drew him to you was your positivity and happiness. You were a very earnest child and many of the village's adults enjoyed having you around to help them farm.

One day he approached you, and ever since then you guys were inseparable.

He always had a bunch of energy and you always managed to keep up with his shenanigans.

Because of you he started helping around the village just like you, which ended up acting as a contributing factor to his wish of becoming the Magic Emperor.

He didn't really show it, but when he didn't get his grimoire on the day he was supposed to, he was a bit upset about it.

You were the one to motivate him to keep trying. You were literally the only person at the time to believe in his hard-working efforts.

As a result, he now keeps you in the highest regard for all the help you gave him.

Because of you, he strongly believes that his bonds with others are the key to unlocking his inner strength. You're quite literally the proof for his ideal.

When you meet up, the two of you like to hang out around Hage village. The place holds many memories for you, so you spend a lot of time catching up while walking and lounging around in your childhood meet up spots.

He loves to tell you about his exploits with the magic knights and he keeps you updated on the latest happenings in the country.

Sometimes he takes you to the royal capital or to the towns in the common realm. He doesn't go there too often himself, so the two of you go around exploring and doing fun things in general.

Unlike with others, Asta can also confide in you whenever he isn't feeling like his usual self. When he's down, you're the only person he honestly confides in, because he knows he'll feel better and that you'll end up finding a way to motivate him again.

Yami:

With this guy it's pretty simple. As long as you're straightforward with him and honest from day one, he'll end up taking a liking to you.

It doesn't matter whether you're super strong, gutsy or brave, as long as he can understand where you're coming from, he won't have anything against you.

However, I believe that in order for you to become his best friend you may have to be able to fight (either in battle or just standing up for yourself) – even to a small extent.

If he's genuinely impressed by one of your qualities, he'll want to spend more time with you.

He'll be amused by your antics and would truly find you intriguing enough to spend his time with.

But if he can learn something from you, that would be an even greater bonus. If you can challenge him and bring new concepts for him to try out in battle, he'll keep you around even more and his respect for you would skyrocket.

The first time you meet, it could literally be anywhere. You could either be a fellow magic knight, a random person on the street or someone drinking in a local bar – the options are limitless.

Yami opens up rather quickly after getting used to someone being around, so you don't necessarily have to know him for a super long time in order to become his number one friend (a few years is more than enough).

He enjoys his alone time and generally tends to be reserved, so if you're someone who can be quiet and inconspicuous he'll appreciate that greatly.

The two of you like to lazy around together most of the time. He invites you to the Black Bulls base often just to chill and strike up conversation ocassionally.

Everyone in the squad knows who you are, and literally all of them respect you just as much as their captain (they see you as practically two peas in a pod).

When something's bothering Yami, he would genuinely confide in you with anything (even if it's vulgar and ought not to be discussed). As a magic knights captain he feels the need to be strong in front of the his squad, so if he's ever in a pinch about something, you're the person he talks to.

He really likes when instead of sympathy you give him solid constructive criticism. He may be a bit defensive at first but once you knock some sense into him he'll begin to look at it your way, and more often then not he'll find the solution to his problem.

Naturally as your best buddy, he would hang around with you at his favourite bars often.

Even if you're not much of a drinker or a gambler, he enjoys the atmosphere of the place and the two of you always find ways to entertain yourselves there.

He trusts that you'll be able to protect yourself if need be (he truly sees your value), but he can be a bit possessive at times, especially if he's a bit drunk.

"Oi, what the hell. They're my friend you dunce. Go get your own." (He would say that with the most ticked off and intimidating expression).

The man has literally no shame in front of you. Honestly, he would even walk out naked and not bat an eye to your presence despite how indecent that is.

Mereoleona:

In all honesty, you would probably meet her in the middle of a forest.

As a kid she was very aggressive and wild, but despite that her heart was still pure.

When she first saw you walking by yourself through the wilderness, she grew intrigued and decided to go test your strength. You were close to her age which was something she instantly recognised.

It's said that strong people sense others like them from a distance, and that's exactly what happened between the two of you.

Somehow, you managed to stand your ground after your confrontation, and ever since then the two of you were attached by the hip.

Mereoleona loves to drag you around with her. You're considerably more passive compared to her which she adores about you (because you never resist when she literally kidnaps you).

She finds that adventures with you are always more fun than if she were to go alone, so be prepared for a bunch of spontaneous tests of courage and strength that she creates.

As her best friend, you're able to keep up with her and occasionally challenge her outright.

Even if you're not a mana genius or a combat expert, if you have any quality that far surpasses her she literally won't stop bugging you until she beats you (but she will always admire that quality of yours).

Over time, you'll learn to read her.

Mereoleona isn't a woman who expresses herself in ways other than toughness, but sometimes she lets a softer side slip.

She enjoys that she can open up to you without being viewed any differently. In fact, she's considerably softer towards you in general.

She truly loves that she can smile and laugh around you freely.

The two of you often stay up late, laying around outdoors and staring up at the dark sky the same way you used to do as kids. She talks to you about anything and everything, including more sensitive subjects such as her feelings towards her brother's injuries.

You're one of the only people capable of calming her down and she's very honest towards you as a result.

Nozel:

You would have to know this man a while before he considers even slightly opening up to you.

He's very cold on the surface and has a hard time expressing his true concerns, so naturally it would take ages of dedication to finally crack that shell.

The first time he began considering you an ally was when you stood up for him despite not needing to. Someone was making fun of his stoic expression and hairstyle, but for some reason you decided to shut them up.

You weren't a suck up, so he knew you weren't doing it just to get in his good books.

In fact, on the inside he's always admired your righteousness and peace-loving attitude.

After that incident, he actually started speaking to you properly. He graudally increased how often he spoke to you, and eventually he could be found with you more than with his siblings, which greatly surprised everyone.

He continued to hold you in high regard throughout the years. He saw you as a strong and independent person.

You never really relied on anyone to do anything, which only prompted him to confide business related problems with you more often (since he knew you weren't influenced easily by others).

He's only ever viewed you as a strong and greatly trusted ally (practically a confidant) until one day you called him your friend, at which stage he realised that this was in fact the case with you two.

It was foreign to him at first, but when you explained that the words ally and friend were practically the same thing, he realised that it wasn't as bad as he initially thought.

You are honestly the only person in the entire kingdom that can make him smile even a bit. Because of you, he's actually been caught smiling in front of others too – a very strange sight to those who know him.

You've finally discovered his fleeting non-existent sense of humour (which apparently only works when he's in a good mood).

He feels like he can express his problems with you easily enough. Of course he still gets a bit flustered when doing so, but your totally normal attitude towards his confessions brewed confidence in him, so he started doing so more often.

Whenever he's tired of paperwork or any official business, he calls you to his office just to have you around. He'll continue working even when you're there, but he'll give you a small smile if you bring him some tea.

Despite how busy his schedule is, you guys are always near each other. If not in the same room, then definitely in the same building.

He really enjoys talking to you in peace and even feels comfortable falling asleep near you when the two of you are alone.

Also, if anyone as much as insults you, good luck. They won't be going unpunished by Nozel's wrath.

[captainsolare]

Hiiii Cap 🥰 Can I get Yami fluff? 💕 Roll 4 times for AU, 1 time for dialogue prompt and 3 times for trope 💕 Thank you!!

A/N: Hi Nati!! I hope you enjoy it! Prince Yami is a very dreamy idea.

Yami Fluff + Royalty AU! + Locked in a (chamber) + "I wish I could hate you."

Yami stretched, nearly falling out of the tree he was perched in. He steadied himself, taking a long breath of air before leaning back against the tree; they’d be looking for him soon, they always did. Like clockwork, he heard footsteps rushing into the courtyard, “Prince Yami! I know you’re here in one of these trees, you have royal duties to attend to.”

Rolling his eyes, he hopped out of the tree, landing with a thud on the ground below. It was Finral, his primary keeper that had come for him this time.

“There you are! Prince you can’t keep going off like this, it worries the King.” Finral chastised, ushering him down the long hallway to Yami’s office.

Yami sighed, “I know, I know. But paperwork is boring.” He sat down at his desk, eyeing the files that sat untouched upon it.

Finral crossed his arms, fixing Yami with his sternest glare, but it failed like always and his gaze softened. “I know it’s no fun, but you must attend to your princely duties.”

The door shut with a click and Finral returned to his post outside it.

Yami sighed, putting his feet on the desk and flipping open the first file. “If he’s so worried about me, why doesn’t he ever come to see me?”

-

Once night fell you scaled the castle wall easily, keeping to the shadows. You’d spent weeks memorizing the guards’ schedule, figuring out the weaknesses in this impenetrable castle, and now was the perfect time to act. You had managed to get a map of the inside of the castle before you came here, and by now had committed it to memory.

If your intel was to be believed, the item you were looking for was kept in Prince Yami’s desk, the second drawer from the top, right-hand side. You crept along the walls, thankful for your camouflage cloak when a pair of guards went past your position. The trip to the second floor was quick work, but now came the hard part, you’d need to make it into the Prince’s room without getting caught. You found an empty room a few doors down and snuck inside, preparing to stand on the window ledge and scale across that way.

The window opened with surprising ease and you stepped outside after making sure the coast was clear. You could only pray that there was no one awake in the rooms between your current position and the room you were trying to get to. Thankfully, it seemed as if all the lights were off in the rooms between, so you should be able to slip past without detection. You made it to the Prince’s room and crouched down, praying the window wouldn’t open too loudly.

To your relief, the window opened with ease, and you smiled. It was obvious from the wear that the Prince often used this window to sneak out. You entered the room cautiously, boots thudding softly on the carpeted floor. The desk was across the room, but based on the snores you heard from the Prince’s bed, getting there shouldn’t be a problem.

You opened the drawer and just as your intel had said, there lay the ruby bracelet, ripe for the taking. Soon, you’d be off somewhere remote with plenty of pocket change. Your only way out of here was back the way you came, so you started heading off in that direction, but there was a whoosh of steel and a sword was placed dangerously close to your neck.

“Who are you?” Prince Yami asked, voice rumbly from sleep. “Just a thief.” You replied quietly, there was no talking your way out of this one. You raised your hands in submission, dropping the bracelet. Yami released the sword from your neck and picked up the bracelet, putting it in his pocket. Before he could ask for your name you were taking off across the room, trying to get to the window before he could stop you.

“Wait!” He whispered harshly, “Don’t step… there.”

There was a loud clicking sound, you’d stepped on a trap door. The floor opened up, sending you both tumbling into the pit below. The pit was surprisingly soft at the bottom, as you patted your hand around you realized it was hay.

“Are you okay?” You heard the Prince ask. As your eyes adjusted to the darkness, you could make him out in the ambient light.

“Yes, I am.”

“That’s good to hear.” He leaned against the wall of the pit, hair disheveled from sleep and from your fall into this place.

An uncomfortable silence settled over you, only the sound of your breaths breaking it.

“Any idea when we can get out of here?” You asked, watching him with hopeful eyes.

Yami sighed, “Not until morning. My knight will come looking for me then and he’ll be able to let us out.”

You smiled sadly, “I see, and I guess after that happens I’ll be executed.”

“Probably.”

The silence fell over you again, this time a more somber one.

“What’s your name?” Yami asked, turning to face you.

You took a breath, wondering if this was a good idea, then decided to just tell him, if you were to die anyway, it would be nice to make a friend first.

“It’s Y/N.”

“I see, that’s a pretty cool name.”

You laughed, “You think so? It seems pretty normal to me.”

Yami smiled, “Maybe so. You’ll have to forgive me, I don’t have many friends.”

“Really? I’d expect a handsome prince such as yourself to be surrounded by them.”

Yami laughed, a deep rumbly chuckle that you could feel in your own chest, “I suppose it may appear that way, but really it’s just people that want to suck up to me because of my title.”

You nodded, fixing your gaze upwards, “I know how that goes.”

Yami squinted, surprised at your admission, “Really? You don’t seem the type.”

You laughed and Yami cocked his head, studying your face best he could in this light, “Even royals can become disgraced Prince Yami. I used to be in a similar position to yourself, but I ran away, needed to get out of that place.”

You scooted closer to each other as you continued with your story, Yami settled his elbows on his knees.

“I used to have dreams about leaving, buying my own house by the seaside, living independently. No maids or servants, just me.” Your voice sounded almost wistful as you spoke, and Yami thought of his own dreams.

“I want to leave this place too.”

“Is that so? Where would you go?” You cocked an eyebrow, studying him. Prince Yami was attractive in a rugged sort of way, his jaw was chiseled and covered with stubble, and even in this dim light, you could tell how muscular he was.

Yami straightened, his eyes full of a hopeful sparkle, “I want to go live in the forest and open my own Knight Training academy. I’d take in the misfits from the Kingdom, those who have no place else to go. Maybe we’d be a family of sorts, it would certainly be better than what I have here.”

You smiled, a wistful sadness overtaking you, “That sounds lovely Prince Yami.”

“Oh please, call me Yami, there’s no need for formality here. And really? You don’t think it’s dumb?”

“No, not at all. In fact, I think it’s a noble dream.”

The two of you talked for a while longer, until your eyes were bleary with sleep. You huddled together for warmth as the pit became colder.

“I’m sorry I got us into this mess Yami.” You said softly, you had scooted next to him now, your head resting lightly on his chest.

Yami chuckled softly, “I wish I could hate you for it but the truth is, this is the first time I’ve been able to be this open with anyone in quite a while.”

“I see, well that’s comforting to hear.”

Yami got the spark of an idea, “Y/N.”

“Yes?”

He sat up excitedly, and you pulled away so you could look at him better.

“What if I did open that training school, and what if you were my first recruit? If you didn’t end up being executed of course. We could find a spot in the woods near the seaside, there is such a place, I’ve seen it. And we could open that school together! You’ve already proven that you can be sneaky, you could train our knights in stealth techniques.”

Yami’s words were kind, you could find hope being stoked in your heart, but you knew it couldn’t happen. You surely would be executed for trespassing and attempted theft.

“But… how would that happen? I will surely be killed in the morning.”

“Not if I lie.”

“Lie? What could you possibly come up with that could get me out of my inevitable fate?”

“You’ll see, I am excellent at talking my way out of things.”

You wished you could believe him.

-

The trapdoor was opened sometime later, letting the harsh light of the morning into your prison.

“Prince Yami, how many times have I told you to be careful? I have pointed the spot of the trapdoor to you many many times now.” A voice from above said.

“I know Finral, I’m sorry.”

You and Yami climbed from the pit and Finral drew his knife. You tried not to panic, but the possibility of you being thrown in jail, and worse, were almost certain now.

“Who is this Prince Yami? Are they a criminal? Did they trespass into your room?”

Yami put a hand up, gesturing for Finral to put the knife down.

“No, they aren’t, and no they didn’t. This is Y/N, and the past few months we have been discussing plans for my training academy, in secret of course.”

Finral blinked, looking from you to Yami and back again. “Is this where you have been running off to then?”

Yami nodded sheepishly, “Yes, I didn’t want to tell you because you’d already warned me against such actions.”

“Prince Yami, you already know I support you fully. In fact, I have already found a property in the woods like you wanted. I’ve even cleared your plan for the school with the King.”

Yami sucked in a breath, “Is the ocean close by too?”

When Finral nodded, you and Yami clasped each other's hands excitedly, then you wrapped Finral into a tight hug.

“This is great! When can we set off?” Yami asked, chuckling as Finral took deep breaths after being let go.

“Right now if we hurry.”

“Great! I will pack my bags.”

Finral nodded and set off to pack his own.

“Well?” Yami turned to you, eyes full of hope, “Do you still want to come? If you want to leave there will be no hard feelings.”

To his delight, you smiled, taking his hand in your own. “Of course I do.”

Over the course of one night, your life had completely changed, and you were filled with hope once more. Maybe, just maybe, you could make a difference here, unlike in your own kingdom. As you watched Yami buzzing about, packing his things, you couldn’t help but smile, maybe you could find love here as well.

[translation+lyrics] 冥鳴フィアンサイユ Act:Ⅰ by Ariabl’eyeS

Look what just came in the mail, the 2022 Ariabl’eyeS album that officially has a translated title right there in the album cover, perhaps the only freebie in this otherwise incomprehensible mess. This album features not only a triumphant return for Rena on the vocals (albeit in only one track, but hey I’ll take what I can get) but we also get our new honorary member Risa Yuzuki for her second album in a row, not to mention some background chorus vocals by Suzuha Yumi, narration by the ever elusive Char as usual and of course our always beloved Luna singing on nearly all the tracks. As indicated by the title this album will probably be a two-parter, though if you ask me the ending works pretty well for me as it is (let’s be real this is Ariabl’eyeS here, they’re not exactly getting a happy ending either way).

More importantly: Given that their previous album was nearly named Morbius and this one is about a vampire, it’s safe to say that this band is Morbhead-Approved, so make sure to play this album whenever it’s morbin’ time. Lyrics down below and see you all next time.

-------------------------------------------------------------

冥鳴フィアンサイユ Act:Ⅰ

(Meimei fiancailles Act I, The Vampire Bride Act I)

Composer for all tracks: リゼ

01. - Prelude－Fiancailles Ⅰ－

A long, long time ago, there was an elderly king and a beautiful young princess. One day the king invited many younglings to a banquet in his castle. It was rumored that if the princess handed you her shiny apple and you ate it, you'd be bound to be together for life. By the end of the banquet, she had indeed chosen one such person. This is the tale of those two, a sad and painful tale.

02. 盈月フィアンサイユ (Eigetsu Fiancailles, Full-Moon Fiancée)

Vocals: Luna

fukai mori ni kakomareta kojou ni daremo ga urayamu utsukushiki oujo sunda hitomi to hikaru kami wo matoi minna ni aisarete hanayaka na yumemita

In a secluded castle deep into the woods there's a princess whose beauty could be envied by all Covered in bright hair with her clear eyes, a dreamful sight anyone would love

aru hi ousama wa shiro de no utage ni kunijyuu no wakai kizoku wo maneku gouka kenran na utage no junbi ga susumu naka ou wa musume wo yonda

One day the king invited young aristocrats from across the country to his castle As the king prepared a wonderful and gorgeous feast, he called for the princess

shudou kare nado wo misadame mimiuchi wo shite te ni shita kagayaku kajitsu sotto sashidashita

He judged over the guys as they gathered and whispered offering the bright fruit he'd handed her

shikkoku no yami wo saite kare wa junpaku no basha no naka majiwaru shisen takanaru kodou ni hajimete no omoi ni kitsuku no

The one who cut through the pitch-black darkness rode on a pure white carriage Making her feel such feelings for the first time as she gazed and her heart beat faster

yasashii hitomi de watashi wo mita kare wa shizuka ni te wo tori hohoemi mashita

He looked at me with such kindness in his eyes, gently smiling as he offered his hand

yorisou kare wo mitsumete unmei egaite te ni shita himitsu no kajitsu sotto sashidashita

And so destiny was set when we drew closer and I gently offered the secret fruit in my hands

futari wa te wo tori odori akasu tsuki no hikari no moto de furueru suhada takanaru kodou ni kuruui saku omoi hibiku

We danced hand in hand under the moonlight Our skins trembling as our hearts beat ever faster amidst these echoing emotions

futari wa chigiri wo kawashi atte tsuki no hikari no moto de ashita futatabi mukae ni kuru to koyubi wo karame kaketeyuku no

We exchanged a promise under the moonlight That when tomorrow comes we'd meet again, and with our pinkies linked we'd run away

03. Scarlet Rouge

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki, Luna

nagareru namida no ato ni sugiyuku kisetsu wa

A flowing trail of tears extends throughout the passing seasons

ikudo no yoru kazoetemo hirakanu tobira ni kare no mi wo anjite wa kyou mo hitori sugite

No matter how many nights go by, that door just won't open I fear he'll really never come back, I am alone for yet another day

kaze no tsuyoi oborotsukiyo tsumaoto ni nosete kage no you ni yami matou mono ga hitori

There are galloping sounds in this windy night with dim moonlight It is a single person cloaked in darkness like a shadow

「omukae ni mairimashita」to kuroi shouzoku no otoko wa watashi no mae ni kashizuite basha he to izanau

"I've come to procure you" said the messenger robed in black Standing in front of me inviting me onto his ride

tomadou kokoro furuwase anata wo tadoreba dare no koe mo kikoenai no daremo miezu ni tsukamu te wo furiharatte kotoba wo nomikomeba ou no sugata mitsumeta mama kaze no you ni kiesaru

With this trembling and troubled heart I will follow after you I can't hear anyone or see anyone else I shake off the hand that grabs me and heed those words And seeing the king one more time, I am gone with the wind

arehateta michi wo nukete tachidomaru basha ni hibiwareta ishi no tobira michibikarete

Going through a rough deserted road, the carriage stops And we go through a cracked stone door

rousoku no terasu heya de wa irotoridori motenasarete watashi no mae ni shikitsumerareta makka na hanataba

In this candlelit room a colorful banquet awaits Before my very eyes I see a deep red bouquet

tomadou kokoro furuwase anata wo tadoreba ano hi no koe watashi no naka omoi wa tsunori sosogareta akaki bara wo hitokuchi nomikomeba taorekonde mezameta no wa yoake to tomo ni yurarete

With this trembling and troubled heart I will follow after you The words you said on that day are still stirring up in me As I take in mouthfuls of these red petals I lost consciousness and woke up at dawn, trembling again

hikari no todokanu heya de yubiori kazoetemo imada aenu kare wo matsu no kodoku to tomo ni yami ni ukande kagayaku omoi wo dakishimete yogoto inoru konya koso wa aemasu you ni to

Counting inside a room which can't be reached by the light I have yet to meet him and I'm still in solitude These feelings are my only light in this darkness Praying once again as I do every night, that I may meet you again

nagareru namida no ato ni sugiyuku kisetsu wa me wo tojireba itsu no hi ni mo hohoemi kakete sosogareta akaki bara wo hitokuchi nomikomeba mata mukaeru beddo no ue kasuka na kaori nokoshite

A flowing trail of tears extends throughout the passing seasons Any time I close my eyes I still see his smile As I take in mouthfuls of these red petals On this bed that you have yet to reach, a faint scent still lingers

04. 残香

(Zankou, Lingering Scent)

Vocals: Luna

doushite naiteiru no desu ka? dareka ga watashi no soba de tazuneru koe wo agete sugaru watashi wa kitto kyou mo hitori de nemuru no deshou ka

Why are you crying? Someone asks by my side I reach out as I raise my voice, surely once again today I will sleep alone

kyou wa aeru kana mou nankagetsu mo kanawanu negai tada machitsutsuketa namida no kazu mo mabuta no ura de kazoe toki wa nagarete tada machitsutsukete

I wonder if we'll meet today, it's been so many months and I am still waiting unfulfilled The tears keep counting up behind my eyelids, time goes on, and yet I still wait

yoru ga kite mo anata wa kaeranai sugata sae mie wa shinai no ni mezamereba soko ni iru hazu no nai anata no kaori ga shita

Night falls, and you still aren't here, I can't see you at all And yet when I awaken, I can smell your scent even if you're not here

doushite aenai no desu ka? tsunoru sabishisa ga ame wo furasu kanawanai negai no kana kitto anata no soba de nemuri itai no yamanai ame wa afurete atataka na hibi ni koishisa tsunoru kono samui heya de watashi wa kitto kyou mo hitori de nemuru no deshou ka

Why can't I meet you? This solitude is relentless like rain Can't my wish be fulfilled, that of laying by your side This unstoppable rain wells up as the warm days make me miss you more In this cold room, surely once again today I will sleep alone

“The princess wishes to return to the castle” conveyed the messenger “And she will come back within 3 days, 3 days indeed” “If she sees me like this, I may end up biting her This form I have... it's terrifying”

And so the next day, the princess was escorted by the messenger, riding a carriage to the castle.

05. Raven Dissonance

Vocals: Rena, Luna

kisetsu wa mata megutte mo kanojo no yukue wa shirezu ni ikura nageite mo todokanai fuan wa tsunoru bakari de

The seasons go by and yet the princesses' whereabouts remain unknown No matter how much I grief I can't reach her, my uncertainty grows

kunijyuu kara udekiki no uranai shitachi wo yonde tsuki no kageru yoru ichibu shijuu wo tsutaereba

I called all experienced oracles from the land and told them everything on a moonlit night

「sore wa chi wo suu akuma no sei ne」 to rouba no kotoba sukuu te tate wa aru keredo... utsumuita mama de

"It must be a vampire" the elder said There's a way to solve this but... she lowered her gaze

nemuri ni ochitara mune no oku wo hiraite yami ni somaru kokoro ni te wo kazashi norowareta hana ni karamaru ito wo taguri tokihanatou me ga sameru mae ni

When asleep, hold your hands over the darkened heart It'll unravel the threads of the cursed flower before awakening

basha no ne ga hibiki watari yatsureta sugata ni kakeyoru hitosuji no hikari hitotoki no atatakasa ni fure

A carriage is heard, closing in on the emaciated figure Like a ray of light followed by a moment of warmth

mikka me no asa i wo keshite tsutaeta kotoba sukuu tetate wa aru keredo... koe wo furuwasete

The morning of the third day I'll say it for sure I just want to help but... my voice wavers

minikui mamono ni sugata wo kaeta kare wo sukui daseru aisuru anata dakara setsuna ni kagayaku awairo ni saku hana wo torimodosou me ga sameru mae ni

I want to save my beloved even if he's turned into a hideous monster I will bring back this pale blooming flower before the awakening

watashi no aisuru anata wa ima mo kurai sekai ni ayatsurare kumon no naka setsuna ni kagayaku awairo ni saku hana wo torimodosou watashi no te de

My beloved is still trapped and led astray in a dark world of agony I will bring back this pale blooming flower by my own hand

nemuri ni ochitara mune no oku wo hiraite yami ni somaru kokoro ni te wo kazashi kyoumei shite yuku futari no egaku saki de matteitene sukui dasu kara ne

When asleep, hold your hands over the darkened heart Wait for me and we'll resonate with each other, so that I can save you

06. 冥鳴メメント (Meimei Memento, Vampiric Memento)

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki

shizukesa matou yoiyami wa watashi no kokoro wo yurashite hitomi no tojireba anata no kakenureru tsumaoto hibiku

My heart wavers on this evening wrapped by silence Once I close my eyes I will hear those galloping sounds

「nemutteru darou ne? itoshiki oujo yo」 tsukai no mono wa unazuki kono sugata mirareta naraba... kowashitaku nai kara

"Is my dear princess asleep?" The messenger nodded If you saw me like this... I'd break it all apart

tonari de yorisou anata wa yasashiku watashi wo tsutsunde hitomi wo mukereba hirogaru keshite kobamenai ima ga

You came closer to my side and held me gently I turn my eyes to you and see an undeniable reality

yume ni ochiru anata no kagi wo sagashite mune no tobira wo hirakeba yami no naka ugomeku kage ga futari wo habamu

Searching for the key to the dream you've fallen into I open up the gate to your heart Yet in the darkness a writhing shadow blocks our way

mogaite mogaite kiba wo muita karada wo chikara tsuyoku dakishimete mou ichido mou ichido deatta hi no sugata no mama watashi no mune no naka de sakende sakende furiharatta watashi wo namida ukabete mitsume de doushite mo anata wo ushinaitaku wa nai kara to nodo wo agaki chi ni someta

Struggling, writhing as the fangs take a hold of my body as you embrace me Once more, once again holding you as on the day we met Yelling, screaming, I pull apart I see the tears in those eyes I simply don't want to lose you, so I claw at my throat and turn it red

dakiyoseta anata wa yasashiku te wo tori koe ni naranu koe agete yami no naka ugomeku kage wa samayoi madou

You held out such a gentle hand but your voice just won't come out These writhing shadows wander in confusion

mogaite mogaite chikara naku yokotawari shizuka ni hitomi wo tojite mou ichido mou ichido deatta hi no sugata no mama watashi no mune no naka de afurete afurete afuredashita namida wa tsumetai hoo wo nurashite aitai aitai te ni nokoru nukumori ga mada watashi wo kurushimeru kara

Struggling, fighting yet laying powerlessly with eyes silently shut Once more, once again holding you as on the day we met Overflowing, overflowing tears roll down those cold cheeks I want to meet you, to meet you again, yet the lingering warmth only torments me further

07. Postlude－Fiancailles Ⅰ－

His exhausted body lays cold. He doesn't respond at all. While crying, she once again held him tightly. She rushed out with no direction but with only one goal set in her mind: To save him.

Just for context for the 4th song, the back of the album  (shown above) shows (ostensibly) the guy sitting next to her when she's sleeping, isn’t that cute? Or incredibly creepy? You be the judge. Also looked up the album on twitter and man, does it feel validating to see jp people saying they don't quite get it or that they have trouble telling whose perspective is on. My siblings in Christ you literally know the language, what hope is there left for me 😩. I've had the perspectives complaint since the literal first album I translated lol. Still, in the end I was able to piece together a somewhat working narrative, for once the narration bits actually helped me rather than simply driving me insane, you can be sure that at least the postlude is pretty accurate: shit is fucked and she will try to un-fuck it in the next part.

Anyway, now that I listen to this more calmly, 残香 is really the standout track for me. The whole waiting bit goes on for a bit too long like girl, just get over him and move on to the next guy, that guy is not coming home to sleep with you. And yet Luna’s delivery just pierces straight into my heart as usual, god bless her soul, really, really beautiful track carried by her delivery and the amazing instrumental. Anyway, I’ll be waiting for the next one, see you all then.

J, O, and E for the fandom ask game! Bonus points if E ISN'T the Ultimate Yugi-only OT9 (10?? 11?? How many Yugis did that even get up to??) -Pyro Sea

Thanks for the asks Pyro! ❤️

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Miraculous Ladybug. Saw chat nerd gifs all over tumblr and became intrigued. It looked kinda interesting. So I ended up renting disk 3 of season one from the local movie rental shop. And it took two watches of the disk before the show really grew on me. My husband liked the show from the first watch.

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

I set my Work Music playlist to random, and Crazy Chicks by Ken Ashcorp started playing. The ships I think about with that song are Deathshipping, and Season Zero Puzzleshipping. Cause YMarik, and Mao (s0 Yami) are heck’n crazy. And I wouldn’t want them any other way. Love my unhinged boys.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

I mean I drew art of Yugi trying to kancho Atem, and by extension other people. So I take responsibility for Kancho Yugi existing.

I’m responsible for Yami with the Speak & Spell. It was silly joke at first, and now it’s just canon to my fanfic.

I also put waaay too much effort into making Radicalshipping a thing. (Yugi x YMarik x YBakura.) It started as just crackship, hilarious fun, but then a friend helped me name the ship, and then I drew more art for it. And now a fully illustrated multichapter Radicalshipping fanfic is in the works. @nedjemetsenen and I have been busy. So crack ship turned more serious ship I guess. But it’s my crack ship, I’m nurturing it.

Those are the most crackish examples I can think of contributing to the fandom that are NOT the Yugiverse nonsense. And I can’t even claim full responsibility for the Yugiverse/Puzzlepile nonsense, because people have been shipping multiple Yugis together since forever. I just don’t think people took it to as much of an extreme as…. (6,7… 9… Yugi, Heba, Atem, Timaeus, Yami, Mao, Baby Yugi, Orichalcos Yugi, Orichalcos Yami, Henry, AI-tem, GX Yugi, and I can’t think of anymore. I’m sure there was more. But that’s 12) 12 Yugis! Alas it was a hilarious and fun adventure.

[dumplingfaye]

now I told you before reasons why Nacht x Asta was a great ship but now I’m going to tell you why it’s the best ship out of all

(and even if you’re not interested in Nacht x Asta I think you should take the time to read this because it will tell you a lot about you’re ship that you ship)

But then again it’s really long

no I’m not going to name all of the ships because there’s way too many but I will do some ships I’ll give you a reason why I’m not doing them all it’s because all would be for very pacific reasons and I’ll talk about that once I get to Nacht okay so first off we have

Zora x Asta

The reason I don’t like the ship is because it’s for a very pacific reason it’s for a very pacific person and again I’ll talk about that once I get to Nacht but to make it clear to you he hasn’t had that much interaction since his introduction with Asta and that’s the thing this ship it doesn’t even have that much merit to it so yeah no

Asta x Sécre

Same thing very pacific reason and they haven’t had that much interactions since her introduction and if anybody brings up the thing that she was the bird do you think stocking someone is cute now for

Yami x Asta

I can’t exactly go in depth right now but let’s just say I see there relationship like father and son now for the ships I support at least to some extent.

Asta x Noelle

okay so first off I’m not a big fan of this ship because there relationship with each other is more like siblings now why do I think this because it’s clear to me that whenever Noelle does something incredible Asta praises her not in the way that a boyfriend would but more like a big brother if you ignore her attraction towards Asta their relationship with each other is like siblings now you could say oh they’re both so similar so they’re perfect for each other but it’s because they’re similar that they’re like siblings. now similarities in a ship is either bad or incredible in this case it’s okay and if you want a ship about two people who are similar look no further than Yuno & Noelle they are both royalty they both achieve spirit dive they both faced prejudice to some extent in Noelle’s case she faced prejudice from her family but Yuno faced prejudice from his squad and both of them learn to overcome their hate and protect those people when those people needed them the most both have actual motives to stop the dark triad other than protecting the innocent because their parents were killed by them instead of the devil doing it. wind and water are like spiritual elements so they kind of fit each other they both didn’t have control over their magic then they overcome that endeavor and controlled it perfectly in Noelle’s case she literally couldn’t control her magic but when it comes to Yuno. Yuno Couldn’t control Sylph not even mentioning they hold a special place in Asta‘s life in Yuno‘s case he’s Asta’s rival in Noelle’s case she was his fellow newbie and they both experienced their first second and third missions together so yeah They also have those interactions that make them look like the exact same person and they’re both ranked on the most beautiful characters in black clover Noelle’s ranking is 2. and Yuno’s is 1. but that came out long before Nacht was introduced to the series so his number probably drop to 2. as well because of obvious reasons anyhow the point is Yuno and Noelle have so much more similarities than either Asta ship so Now let’s talk about

Asta x Mimosa

(that’s crazy I still have a lot to go because I have a lot to say) okay so this is the one that is more okay than the others I mean it’s not the best and I’ll tell you why once we get to Nacht but let me just say why is this ship in particular is really not toxic I guess okay so Mimosa likes Asta because Asta is Asta to some extent like she fell in love with him when he saved her and Noelle in the dungeon so why do I say she likes him for him because if it was anyone else she would have expected it because if it was Yuno she would have expected it because Yuno has a lot of incredible mana magic or Magna he is a commoner who got into the magic knights so yeah it was because Asta didn’t have any magic that she fell in love with him because even though he didn’t have magic he had a righteous heart protected his allies and would do anything for his friends and as we see her interact with her brother she doesn’t like people who think big of themselves so Asta who talks big but has the strength to back it up is also very modest because after Mimosa saved his life he said thank you I would’ve died without you not even mentioning Asta and Mimosa is a good pair for one another like Asta can save Mimosa and Mimosa can save Asta he can protect her she can protect him both are kind of an airhead one is offensive one is defensive but both can work well with other people Asta works abnormally well with Yuno Yami Finral Nacht Vanessa the list goes on and Mimosa can work well with Noelle Finral Yuno Klaus Zora Kirsch and possibly more but most importantly they both work well with each other (and if anybody brings up Noelle in this debacle just know that Asta and Noelle can only support one another not protect each other) yeah there’s barely anything wrong with the ship that’s why I ship it now for

Noelle x Asta x Mimosa

because Asta is a good boy he doesn’t deserve one wife that and they all work best with each other there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this ship I can totally see a scenario where Asta gives up on Lily and is torn between choosing Noelle or Mimosa so he decides to pick neither one because he’d rather be alone than cause the other pain so they say why don’t you choose both of us and I’ll be like yess ( „-’‿`- „ ) and speaking of Lily

Asta x Lily

it’s Memeable so I ship it because if Noelle and Mimosa say I love you Asta he’ll be like okay but I love a nun now for

Yuno x Asta

okay we’re almost at the end now (I like this ship it isn’t like those other shonen ships between the protagonist and his rival that I usually like to meme about it more than ship it like I was a shipper to all ships in Black clover but now I’m just kind of Yuno x Asta or Nacht x Asta exclusively ) now why do I like Yunoasu why this ship because Yuno acts really gay when it come to Asta and Asta gets jealous of Ril because Ril got to fight Yuno instead of Asta. Asta and Yuno give each other that look whenever they see each other. They work perfectly together Yuno strengthens Asta’s attacks and they’re both kind of like each other antithesis one has magic one has nonexistent magic one is royalty one might be a fallen one (because I think Licita & Asta are Licht and Tetia descendents) they both believe in the other. they both grew up together so it’s just natural to believe that they would want to be with the person who’s been there since they were babies the closest person to them is each other so this ship is incredible so how can Nacht x Asta be better well........

before we get to that

Liebe x Asta

I don’t like the ship because they’re brothers they share the same mom and they might even actually be biologically related so uh yeah NOW FINELY WE’WR HERE

Nacht x Asta

this ship this is........... when it comes to all the others This ship ranks supreme in my book why you may think because if Nacht & Asta We’re in a relationship it will be the type of dynamic where neither of them doesn’t wanna lose each other both worry for one another Asta is a very kind person but just because he’s kind doesn’t mean that people like him to tell the truth when it comes to everyone else barely any of them truly like his true self because when it comes to Zora or Sécre they only like him they would only be in a relationship with him because he was the one who changed them but he was only able to change them because he was strong Yami only took notice of Asta because he was strong if he didn’t have the strength to back it up he would never get into the magic knights no one would take him seriously not his hopes nor his dreams Noelle only fell in love with Asta because he was strong and he encouraged her you could literally replace him with anyone else like Yuno and she would still feel the same for them so yeah she doesn’t love Asta she loves the persona of him a person who is kind strong and tells you you did great when you thought that they were going to make fun of you Mimosa if Asta wasn’t strong she wouldn’t fall in love with him neither would any of the other ships that I didn’t even get to name and I may have praised Yunoasu but honestly it’s kind of a gross ship to because if Yuno wasn’t saved by Asta or if he didn’t grown-up with Asta he would see him as a joke and never take him seriously no matter what and that’s the exact reason why someone like Asta can’t be honest to his friends he hast to keep on smiling constantly hast to be strong because if he’s weak he will be all alone and that’s why I love Liebe & Nacht so much because no matter what they’ll except him Liebe doesn’t care if his brother is strong because as long as he’s kind he’ll care for him more than anyone and Nacht he can except someone who is weak someone who cry’s as long as they’re a good person and that’s not even mentioning the fact that Nacht watched Asta for years and I can only assume it’s because he had that smile a kind personality someone who even though he had no magic kept on training even though he was up against the world up against God’s favorite (Yuno) he never stopped believing he could be the wizard king one day that’s what probably drew him towards Asta he excepted Asta long before anyone in the Black Bulls really did that’s why I ship it because I know Asta would except Nacht and all of his flaws and mistakes Because they would be there for each other because they both gone through a lot so they’re empty to some extent but the person who can put sugar into that jar or fill up the hole in their hearts are each other I constantly think of scenarios where Asta says nobody will except me if I’m weak I have to be strong I can’t cry I have to be strong I’m not allowed to be weak. and Nacht Responding with a hug and says I’ll except you even if the whole world rejects you I’ll except you because I know you except me) And that’s why I ship it because it’s beautiful I love it and even though it will never happen I’ll keep on shipping it until I stop I cannot say that I’ll be a shipper forever because I don’t know what will happen in the future but until then I will be a strong supporter of the ship and I hope you guys could understand ( „T’‿`T„ )

S4 Ep 39: Pharaoh Can Fly (Selectively)

Guys, they’re back

Best storyboarder is back, and the visual difference between last episode and this episode is like when your art teacher picks up your charcoal and just fixes everything wrong with your gesture drawings. It’s like...I mean look at this:

I just really love and appreciate how illustrative this storyboarder is. And I say just storyboarder because this had about the same budget as the last episode--there wasn’t that much actual animation as per usual. But, all of the scenes were drawn so well, like panels out of a good manga. They just...they always nail it when they’re at the helm and I don’t know why they’re on Yugioh, but bless this storyboarder.

Plot wise, everyone got pulled into the dragon by gooey tentacles that came out of it’s stomach, don’t think about it.

Meanwhile, all of the minibosses could communicate with them and beg for help, yes, even the same miniboss who may have dressed up like Pegasus and catfished Seto Kaiba.

(keep reading under the cut)

The whole process of getting absorbed into the Orichalcos demon was a whole lot of symbolism and it was...kinda gross. Also kinda sketch. Also, for Kaiba it is a neat little nod to S1 when he had a vision that his brother was absorbed into a dragon mass.

I don’t think that the makers of the show remember S1, but either they just really like goopy dragons, or it’s a coincidence or I dunno, on purpose? Probably a coincidence.

And like I made this joke and realized...what if they actually meant to make that parallel though? This is the America crossover season, and they have referenced America’s love of trickster rabbits before with Pegasus but do they know about Br’er rabbit in Japan? Do they know? It’s a pretty Americana Deep-cut, and I have no idea how common this folktale is outside of the states.

I see anime busting out absorbing goopy masses all the time so I’m gonna assume that there might be a Japanese folklore I don’t know about which uses a similar structure (although I’m also assuming it has an extremely different history and association ((which I won’t be going into because I don’t feel like putting a trigger warning on this recap)).)

And looking at Wikipedia, there’s people that think the original reference to moist, absorbing creatures could have even come from as far as India. Which is...fascinating to how it also developed in Africa, and then the Cherokee also made the same story independently and then it fused together here in the States to make it what was eventually made into a Disney movie that will never be released again--this is just a really old ass story, all in all, possibly like over a thousand years old.

And a FASCINATING google deep dive I won’t go into for obvious reasons but knock yourself out.

Also, lets get distracted for a sec and see how well this storyboarder drew a fitted jacket at that angle. Dear Lord, did they get reference for that or did their brain just already know that those folds would be there? You can even tell that Pharaoh has just a little bit of padding at his shoulders. Ugh. Guys this storyboarder is so freakin good at these little fitted jackets.

So, once Yugi and his friends are absorbed into the mass, where they should have died...and maybe some of them did, but I don’t know if I should add that to the Death Count because like...they could have held their breath in the amount of time they were stuck in there...maybe...Anyway, they are saved by being tossed into the figurative briar patch--by the souls all hanging out in the Leviathan’s stomach--which again makes me wonder...did they pull a folklore on us? Again, I have no idea.

Like a lot of the people in this dragon have been thorns in their side this entire season, they’ve all tried to kill them at one point--all the minibosses, Mai, Pegasus--but now they have decided to team up with Pharaoh (along with the rest of the human race) and offer whatever they can to free them from the grip of the gross dragon mass.

And like, the ending of the folk tale is that the thorny ass briar patch is also where the rabbit lives usually. It hurts everyone else, but the rabbit--the rabbit can deal with it. And likewise, Pharaoh is freakin dead. He’s at home here. He’s surrounded by spirit power, his friends and their friendship power, this is like his zone, and now he’s crazy powerful for it and will be for the rest of the episode.

And like Yami is a very trickster God (especially Season Zero Yami) so like...it does make sense that he would mirror a folk tale based on trickster Gods, even if it is by complete accident.

So Pharaoh imagines everyone’s tears as individual drops in a glass or something--it’s not a literal glass or anything--it’s just there because the only thing actually happening on screen was his hand hanging out of this dragon’s weird puss skin.

And he’s now a fully charged Sonic the Hedgehog and no longer needs Kaiba or Joey at all. Just gonna grab his God card demons and take charge of everything else from here on out.

By first exploding his buddies right the hell out of this lizard and across hundreds of feet of open ocean.

Joey decides to remind Kaiba that he lost the Battle City tournament.

Seto’s roast was actually in the show, PS. He is not super excited to be reminded that Yugi owns every card that he spent 2 seasons failing to get.

And then Pharaoh did something really, really...

...just really really wild.

OH OK.

YEAH JUST TAKE OFF.

GO AHEAD THERE’S NO REASON THIS WOULD BOTHER ME.

I mean he IS super powered right now but like...

Like...WTF?

4 SEASONS. 4 SEASONS I thought this guy was glued to Yugi like Peter Pan’s Shadow and apparently--he can bounce.

Can Pharaoh do this every time Yugi asks Tea out on a date and tries to instead make the ghost in his head do all the work now? Can Pharaoh just be like “NOPE” and then phase out of the house, leaving Yugi to actually do the hard stuff?

It really adds a level of complexity to their relationship if Yugi can get a room.

(If not a room for romance, but at the very least a room to poop in.)

OR has he been able to allow Yugi to wicked poop in peace this whole time, but the show just never felt like telling us because they felt like it wasn’t important (although it is crazy important)?

Either way I am just...floored at this character development.

Yami just let Yugi out of his sight for like...I want to say 8 full minutes. Just incredible amount of trust on Yami’s part. Incredible. Knowing Yugi’s track record, he should have died in those 8 minutes but...he was being babysat by both Kaiba and Joey.

So Yami summons the Gods and they shoot lasers--you kinda expect this sort of thing.

And this is...probably...the real reason why Dartz didn’t bother trying to attack Pharaoh 5,000 years ago.

I can still think it’s because of Bakura but like...this is probably the real reason. It felt pretty chump to just shoot a laser at the bastard. Pharaoh just had to be reminded that this is a thing he can just do. If he felt like it.

Which he never feels like doing, because he’s too busy watching Yugi’s every move, and getting distracted by High School shenanigans.

After this happens, the giant snake falls to the ocean, splitting into just sooooooo many ghosts.

Over 7.8 billion ghosts, if we’re to assume that this is most of the population on Earth.

(thinking the weird-o in the hat is probably a Duel Monsters card? The duel monsters were throwing themselves into the Leviathan at one point so this is probably like a dark magician boy or something...I just don’t get very attached to the monster cards so it was like...whatever. The cards die like constantly so who cares?)

It is a pretty set dressing. Like Christmas lights but...dead people.

We also find out that the lost family of our minibosses Alister and Raphael, have indeed spent the last many years inside the Leviathan stomach, which is pretty tragic. We get a bitter sweet conclusion to Alister and Raphael’s story--although it’s not a full on ending for either character. Their life still hella sucks, they are in therapy for basically forever.

Where is Gurimo?

I don’t know what sort of job or life these two are qualified to have now, but youknow...Marik’s boat probably has jobs available.

Hold up. Can we talk about the windows?

I know absolutely none of you care about this, but I do, not to be picky or condescending to an overworked art team, but because I just want to know what they were trying to aim for.

There’s an iron stained glass style windowpane thing going on and that’s what’s really getting me. Like...I know these guys were technologically advanced, but why did you use this WW2 background? What happened to Ancient Greece that you were doing before?

Like doing a super past with future tech is so cool to me--I love that sort of concept art. That’s going into like Black Panther stuff where you’re referencing the earliest stuff in Africa and then blending it with stuff beyond our science. But Atlantis is a real big shrug and a “listen we ran out of time and had to press print,” and it’s such a shame. It feels less cohesive than even when this show does Egypt.

And yo this show and how it draws ancient Egypt--I feel like I’ve already talked about that. I have a feeling I’m going to talk a lot more about it next season. I’ll get to it when we get to it. I’m hoping that they have more time and budget to actually DO Egypt for once. (I say knowing they won’t)

Like it’s one of those things where this isn’t a history show, like at all, and it’s very much a fantasy. I’m not going to be like those sewing people on youtube that get annoyed because their TV show doesn’t have handsewn stitching in their Victorian bodices they rented from the costume department from an LA discount warehouse. Because, yo, it’s TV, and I can stretch my own imagination because it’s acting. (although I confess, I watch every single one of those videos).

But...the potential, y’all...the potential.

Anyway, Dartz isn’t dead. He was just taking his toot sweet time getting down the steps of his Gazebo.

This is where things get very anime. I get this problem a lot with anime, I really do--and maybe it’s just me. But like...sometimes it feels like anime changes the rules during the boss fight.

That happens a lot, right? Where suddenly the final boss reveals something that like...should have been addressed way earlier? And he’s alive but you don’t get why?

Anyway, Pharaoh reacts by getting maybe way too attached to his newfound independence.

Which like...I can understand Tea forgetting that Yugi is one people that is two people all the time, but the writers as well?

And what’s kind of great about this scene is that Dartz does see Yugi as two people here. He doesn’t look at Yugi, he looks at both. When Pharaoh is like “Leave me, Yugi!” Dartz heard all of that.

Just kind of a neat thing that we finally have a dude that can just...see Pharaoh for what he is, but it probably won’t matter because there’s like only one more episode left of this season.

Anyway, Pharaoh and Dartz have a chat about where evil comes from...and like...it’s some Yugioh lore, all right.

So before the show decides to give us the Genesis on Yugioh and reveal where the evil of the Orichalcos comes from, or if all evil was created by Orichalcos itself (which is IMPLYING stuff about Orichalcos) the snake shuts him the hell up.

As it should. Leave that Pandora’s box freakin closed. That’s going into extended universe of Star Wars books territory (RIP.)

As an aside--pretty sure that Yugi is standing outside that tornado. Maybe it was just the editing of the episode but like...

Yo I’m pretty sure Yugi is just standing there. For the first time, it’s not his nuts getting roasted. Wow. Tables have turned so much since he was dead.

Anyway, here’s the link for new people so you can read these in order

https://steve0discusses.tumblr.com/tagged/yugioh/chrono

There’s only one left! We can do it! We can finish this season in 2020! And actually get back to recapping Full Metal Alchemist! ~~Woooo~~

Oh man that movie better still be on Netflix or I’ll have to buy it lolol.

[clowntycoon]

Marik having a crush on Seto bc who wouldnt and Seto really respecting him after the Yami Marik shenanigans bc hes like owo hes making his own destiny and standing on his own despite living so long with his "other half" which is something that really bugs him about Atem and Yugi. Plus marik is much more open/expressive than hes used to seeing which is odd but appealing and to the intense yet also super repressed kaiba whos attention is drawn by two things: being good at duel monsters and being aggressively sarcastic hes suddenly on the radar. They both have similar egos and childhoods where they not only lacked positive parental figures but in fact faced abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to protect and guide them + feeling like they had to protect their siblings from those sources + an unattainable and ridiculous family standard promoting coldness/power/rigidness and shitting on individuality/empathy/feelings to maintain a certain image or duty + being raised to think youre better than the rest of society and bc of that must be seperated and alone at the top (kaiba corp tower) or bottom (underground tomb) of the societal heirarchy so to speak. also they both give off bad bihh, leather pants energy and i love that for them. Plus they seem like theyd be able to handle each other more and its a more slow burn relationship bc i think itd take forever for either to realize and much less act on their feelings and so theyd have to grow a lot before they could get close to each other but itd be more at their pace than trying to fit into the dynamic of yugi & co. So itd be a nice quiet and more comfortable escape from their other friends and i feel like once they all start getting along more as a group these two would naturally kind of be drawn to each other or fall together in their own corner of the booth, so to speak. And eventually theyd find out more about each other and i can see them having a very deep and pure connection where they find it easy to let their guard down without the pressure of expectations from outside sources or anything. Yugi & co.wouldnt really think much of it; yugi would probably be the only one to really engage with the two of them (they all seem like they'd bring out and really vibe with the calmness in them) where anzu is just completely over both seto and marik and their constant drama and jonouchi/honda/ryuji think its weird but oddly fitting. Rishid and Atem would 100% ship it, albeit from the background bc both marik and seto would flip if anyone drew attention to them. Ishizu would be super wary and warn marik against getting close to seto bc hes been lowkey highkey an asshole in the past and seems to her to go against everything she believes in/strives to be but shed be shocked at how different seto seems around marik and vice versa, how they both seem so at peace with each other despite being so... not at all peaceful the other 90% of the time and as confusing as it is shed support anything that can bring marik comfort like that.

In short i think they bring out parts of each other that they both have but repress and that itd be healing for them to interact more intimately, and also theyre both super pretty and i love them (:

Yandere Life Ship

Can I have a yandere life ship plz? ^^~ ok so! I’m really awkward, shy, and introverted! I’m open and accepting to everything! I cant be around people who aren’t 😅 I like time to myself and I have social anxiety but! When I’m close to someone I literally give my everything its all or nothing with me. I’m kind of clingy. I’m quick to cry and be manipulated. But once you piss me off all that goes away lmao I can be really smart mouthed and say cruel shit in the blink of an eye Part 1/3

and not care for the persons feelings at all. And with that being said it doesn’t take much to piss me off lol and I can’t be silenced like... at all unless you’ve completely broken me but even then I’ll probably still try you... if you try to silence me before breaking me then you’re in for me mouthing off at you and I’m brat for a reason you know lol Part 2/3 

I love music, alternative(Lolita,yume/yami kawaii,e-girl,kawaii,etc. /mainstream fashion(“baddie” fashion) my fashion depends on how I feel, I have A L O T of kinks so I wouldn’t do well with someone vanilla 💀 I’m not sure if that’s enough but here it is!  Part 3/3 -MILLI 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yandere 1: (Main yandere)- Jay Park

  Jay is a top dog when it comes to yanderes, he doesn’t mess around and what he wants, he gets no matter what. No one knows exactly how or when Jay became infatuated with you but you do quickly find out why; he likes someone who can put up a fight whether it be verbally or physically and you can do exactly that. This yandere makes it evident from the get go that he’ll let you yell and talk, hell, he’ll even let you punch him and try to knock him down all the while smiling at your futile attempts but, in the end, you’ll always learn your place after he’s put you through what he deems as a “reward” for your attitude. Your life with him is going to be interesting because he’s going to do every to brake you down into becoming a submissive victim but, unlike other yanderes and their victims, he’s also going to simultaneously mold you into a powerful “sidekick” that everyone will love and fear just as much as they love and fear him once he’s deemed you well-behaved enough to go public with him.              

your friend that is victimized by yandere one: Mint

Mint is a supportive friend who is quick to dry those tears when you come to her in an upset state of mind. She doesn’t fool around when it comes to her friends feelings which means that if she learns that someone is hurting you in any way then she’ll doing everything in her power to bring that to an end. She may not be able to do much but she knows that sometimes all a person needs to feel better is some time out with friends or some time away from everyone, which she is more than willing to let you spend time at the extra house her parents bought for her. What drew you to together as such close friends was actually that facts that you two are nearly polar opposites from each other, she’s more outgoing and isn’t quick to start confrontation or talk back while you are, but you two did share commonality in being open with everything, loving the kawaii style of cutsey things, and with being emotional.                            Jay won’t like this one bit. He hates the thought of some tiny, 4′11 chick being an emotional support buddy who can clear your mind and has the resources to give you time away from him. Although she can’t do much else, he still hates her guts with every nerve in his body, just the sight of her or mention of her name can bring his blood to a raging boil. Although she isn’t much of a threat, except when she sends you away for some private time in her other house, Jay quickly writes her off as someone who needs to vanish from your life and he can think of many different ways to make that happen but his two favorite options are that he can either snap her like a twig and hide her body somewhere or he can have his shady friends take her and do with her what they please. Either way, Mint with disappear at some point and the likelihood that anyone, especially you, will ever see her again alive is less of a chance than a snowball has at surviving a trip through hell.

where they’d keep you: the studio

Jay is constantly working on new music whether it be for himself or for other artists so the best place to keep you is where he spends his time most often. Jay loves this option not just because he’s around you often but because this gives him a chance to have more ‘lively, productive’ breaks when he needs a break from pressing keys, strumming strings, recording or mixing. It’s also a good place to keep you because it limits the space you have when trying to be away from him and you have no option but to beg him to get you food or water or to let you out whenever you need to use the restroom.

your chances of survival/escape:   survival: 5/10, escape: 2/10

Jay may enjoy that fiery passion that you have to not be controlled/manipulated or abused but he does have a point in time where he’ll get tired of it and, if you don’t brake and bow down to him at some point, then he will consider killing you eventually. Jay isn’t afraid to use his strength to get what he wants from you so you’ll not only deal with him mentally destroying you piece by piece but also doing that with you physically as well. The best thing you can do to survive with this yandere is by swallowing your pride from time to time (at the very least) if not completely and letting him say and do to you what he pleases without any interruptions from you. By doing so you’ll ensure less punishments, which are both immensely emotionally and physically straining to your body and mind. 

As for escape, he may keep you in a small studio so it would seem as though it should be relatively easy for you to get away from him but what you’ll fail to realize until you make any attempts is that smaller spaces severally limit your sources of hiding or dodging his advances towards you when he arrives to check up on you and/or work. It’s also hard to escape the studio because you only have one means of escape, which is through the single door that he enters which is kept locked with many different dead bolts and locks.           

Yandere 2: (yandere that wants to steal you from yandere 1)- Haechan

Haechan actually gets to know you before Jay even knows of your existence because he knows you through his connection to Mint. Just as you are close friends to Mint, you easily become close friends with the boy who shares common ground with you when it comes to mouthing off. The both of you enjoy having competitions to see who can be the most sassy and, sometimes you both reach the point where you actually hurt each others feeling because of what you say in an attempt to one-up each other during the playful fights. You both end up forgiving each other by giving one another backhanded compliments then move on to conversations about fashion, even though his sense is far different than yours. Haechan is a clingy person so to have someone who can be equally so once they’re comfortable around him will be something that he enjoys whenever he gets to hang out with you.

When you go missing after Jay takes you, Haechan will be distraught and will use his detective stalking abilities to try to find you and bring you back to safety. He knows that you’re not the type of person to just up and leave without saying something first so he knows immediately that someone else is involved and he’ll go through the list of people that you know well or only met even just once to try and find you. If Haechan ever finds you after being taken by Jay then expect him to be 20000000000000000000x more clingy and obsessive with you. You’ll quickly learn that you may no longer be with Jay (if Haechan is successful at helping you escape, which isn’t a likely case) but you’ve landed in the hands of yet another yandere, one who used to be (and apparently still is) your friend.  

why yandere 1 & 2 fell for you:

What draws these two men to you is your ability to switch from a quiet, shy introverted girl to a smart mouthed, tough girl within a blink of an eye who also has the ability to not back down easily. Jay , especially, loves brats! so he sees braking you as a challenge that he is faaaaar too willing to take on, and to say that he’ll love every moment of braking you and molding you into the badass, “ride or die” but submissive victim that he wants is an understatement. He loves seeing you cry but he loves that fire in your eyes and the silver tongue that you use when you step up to fight back against his abusive advances. For both of these yanderes, the more you talk back, the more excited they become for the punishments they will dish out to you once they’ve had enough of letting you speak your mind before taking back the control and getting the final word in.     

Oh, another thing that they enjoy, (again, especially Jay) is the sex life that you two will have. Jay is a very adventurous, kinky, thirsty man so knowing that he’s got a victim who has claimed that they aren’t up for that vanilla shit  (whether they’ve taken that back or not since becoming his ‘puppet’) will definitely send his non-vanilla sex drive overboard. He’ll enjoy putting you in positions that  you’ve never even heard of, he’ll enjoy seeing just how kinky you can be and how far he can push you overboard with his endless sex-capades.

Heart of the Vanguard Concept Chapter final part

(Concept chapters are basically just to test to see if people will like a fic idea I have. This fic crosses over Yugioh Duel Monsters and Cardfight Vanguard.)

Yugi

Hand: 0

“Now, I end my turn.”, Yugi said.

“I draw and I activate my own Pot of Greed allowing me to draw two cards!”, Aichi started.

Aichi

Hand: 4

“I summon Valkriyan Knight and I attack your Guard!”, Aichi declared.

Aichi

Hand: 3

“Because of its effect it can’t be destroyed by monsters with more than 1900 attack points.”, Yugi explained.

“But you still take damage.”, Aichi pointed out.

Yugi LP 1000->500

“I end my turn.”, Aichi said.

“Dang it! Where did all your equip cards go?!”, Kamui questioned as he grabbed Aichi’s arm and shook him, causing him to sweat drop.

“I’m really on the edge right now. This next card will decide everything.”, Yugi thought as he drew his next card.

“I set one card facedown. I end my turn.”, Yugi said.

“I draw and summon Noble Knight Borz.”, Aichi started.

Noble Knight Borz

ATK 1700/ DEF 909

Aichi

Hand:3

“I activate the effect of Wingal from my graveyard to equip myself to Borz. Due to Borz’s effect he becomes a dark type and gains 1 level more importantly I can reveal 3 Noble Arms from my deck and my opponent chooses one of the 3 to add to my hand the rest go to the graveyard.

Aichi held up the back to three cards for Yugi to pick. Yugi was unsure of which one to pick. Honestly any equip card he uses could be potentially bad for him. He chose the card on the far left. Aichi revealed the card Yugi picked it was Gwenhwyfar, Queen of Noble Arms. Aichi sent the other two to his graveyard. Aichi decided to not use Gwenhwyfar now.

Aichi

Hand:4

“I set Manju to defense mode and attack you with Borz.”, Aichi declared.

I activate my trap card Magical Hats. My Guard is sent face down and I set 3 traps from my deck face down and shuffle their positions.”, Yugi countered.

“That means I only have two chances.”, Aichi said.

“You were cautious. You probably thought my set trap was Mirror Force, that's why you set your monster to defense.”, Yugi replied, making Aichi sigh.

“You're right I am cautious. Well I can’t do anything about it now. I attack the two inner hats.”, Aichi replied.

Yugi revealed the cards to be Fake Trap and Trap Jammer. Neither of them were Yugi’s monster. Many of their spectators gawked in disbelief.

“That luck is unreal.”, Emi commented.

“It’s called the heart of the cards.”, Yugi replied.

“So, dumb luck.”, Misaki replied.

“I end my turn.”, Aichi said.

“I draw and I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Gaia.”, Yugi started.

“I attack your Borz with Gaia.”, Yugi declared.

Aichi LP 3700->2800

“That was smart.”, Kai commented.

“Uh why?”, Anzu questioned.

“If I attacked Valkriyan he would have brought back Majesty Lord Blaster. Not to mention I stopped him from adding more equip cards to his hand.”, Yugi explained.

“Right he could use an equip card to try to get over Gaia.”, Honda realized.

“With Gaia’s effect he gains 2600 attack. Now I end my turn.”, Yugi said.

Gaia ATK 2600->5200

“I draw.”, Aichi started.

Aichi

Hand:5

“I summon Noble Knight Gawayn and I activate Double Summon. I tribute Gawayn and Manju to summon Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel!”, Aichi continued.

Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel

( BEAST-WARRIOR / FIRE / EFFECT/ ATK : 3000 / DEF : 2500 / LV 8

Effect: Once per turn, you can reveal the top four cards of your deck; choose one warrior or beast-warrior monster among them and special summon it if you do this monster gains attack equal to half that monster’s original attack, then shuffle the rest of the cards you revealed back into your deck. The monster special summoned by this effect can cannot be used as material for special summoning except warrior or beast-warrior monsters.)

“That’s the card he won from Kourin in Battle City.”, Kamui commented.

“It’s all or nothing I activate the effect of Blond Ezel to evacuate the top 4 cards of my deck if one is a warrior or beast warrior monster I can special summon it and Ezel gains half its attack points.”, Aichi said.

“Come on! Draw something like Kuriboh!”, Honda said.

Aichi revealed the top 4 cards of his deck: Blaster Dark, Mirror Force, Noble Arms Gallatin, and Noble Knight Iyvanne.

Any semblance of a poker face Yugi had dropped when he saw the first card. Yugi’s expression looked completely pale as he saw Blaster Dark.

“I am so glad this wasn’t a shadow game.”, Yugi said as slumped.

“That doesn’t sound good, Yugi.”, Anzu commented, sweat dropping.

“C-crap! Blaster Dark seriously?! I thought you only had one like Blaster Blade?”, Honda questioned.

“Actually Ren gave me 3 when he gave me the Ignoble Knight deck.”, Aichi replied, causing Honda to gape.

“Ren probably owned all of the Blaster Darks in circulation considering he had his own 3.”, Miwa added.

“Now, just imagine if he had 3 Blaster Blades.” Shin said.

“I frankly don’t think I want to.”, Honda replied.

“I chose Blaster Dark which means Ezel gains 1050 attack. And Blaster Dark returns. How funny I was hoping for a Dark monster to equip Gwenhwyfar to.”, Aichi continued.

Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel

ATK 3000->4050

“I activate Blaster Dark’s effect tributing Valkriyan Knight to destroy Gaia. Now, I attack you directly.”, Aichi declared.

“Yeah…Umm...I lost. Man, he should duel you Yami next time.”, Yugi said.

Yugi LP 500->0

“It seems our bonds with our cards are equal. Hmm. It was an entertaining duel.”, Yami said.

Aichi blinked for a few seconds looking completely stunned as if he was still trying to process his victory.

“Oh my god! I beat Yugi!”, Aichi gasped.

“You did it bro!”, Kamui cheered, pulling Aichi into a hug.

“Aichi!”, Emi called out, hugging her brother.

“Good job.”, Misaki said.

“That was the most wicked duel I’ve ever seen!”, the brown haired teen said.

“Man, your really getting strong bud.”, Miwa commented.

“Well of course he had me as his master after all.”, Morikawa proclaimed, making the others sweat drop.

“Congrats.”, Yugi said.

Aichi’s blushed at all the congratulations.

“Well, looks like I’m up next Aichi. If you’re up for it.”, Kai said.

“Of course!”, Aichi accepted, instantly practically bouncing with joy.

If he was a puppy they could imagine his tail would be wagging right now. They had plenty of more fun duels that day. They kinda lost track of time too not noticing it changing to night. Aichi and Yugi sat down next to each other the former seeming rather exhausted.

“Maybe next time you can duel me and Yami together.”, Yugi said.

“I don’t think I could beat you both working together even with Psyqualia.”, Aichi replied as he rubbed his eyes.

“Really? You seemed pretty strong using it?”, Yugi questioned.

“Well...I’m not so sure besides it’s not just something I can turn on and off whenever I want. It just kinda activates and deactivates its own. I’m not sure I would feel comfortable using it if I could. ”, Aichi replied.

“You can’t?”, Yugi replied, stunned.

“Well, I don’t even understand how it works. It just kinda does. I don’t even know why I have it and others don’t.”, Aichi replied.

“Maybe we’ll find out one of these days. Gods know I still hardly understand how this puzzle works. Though, I really liked the duel with just the two of us with no supernatural forces involved. Thinking about it has been awhile since I have just relied on my own strength and won. I think I have more to grow by myself then I won’t have to rely on Yami all the time.”, Yugi replied.

Aichi smiled at this a rather sleepy smile but a smile.

“Yeah, I still have a lot to grow too. I got lucky against you and Ren. I need to become strong enough to win without luck.”, Aichi replied.

“Hehe. I think I was luckier than you in that duel.”, Yugi replied.

Yugi sweat dropped as Aichi seemed to dip in and out of sleep.

“Come on, Aichi don’t fall asleep in the chair your back will hurt.”, Emi told her brother with motherly worry.

“I’mmmm alright Emmm...zzzz”, Aichi replied, before falling asleep.

“Aichi! Seriously I swear you could never get by without me or mom!”, Emi said angrily, shaking her brother.

“Ffive mooore minutes…”, Aichi replied groggily.

To be continued…

So, this isn’t actually how the fic would actually start its just to give you an idea of what it would be like. Since I added in some Vanguard cards I decided to give Yugi and co. some of their newer support cards to balance things out. Not sure when I’ll officially start on this fic maybe when Dark Circuit is done and I’m a bit further in Tamer ZERO. Who knows honestly my attention span sucks. I was supposed to be writing Dark Circuit and I ended up writing this instead. I’ll try to get to it after I’m finished with my rewatch of the Avatar series and my trip soon. Honestly, I just need to focus one at a time and I’d get stuff done. Hopefully, I can finish Dark Circuit before the end of the Summer. I have had a hard time writing it for the past few months for some reason.

Hi! Could I request the sake prompt with Yami x reader please

Order up: one romance with Yami Sukehiro!

Hoo boy! Perfect transparency, this is my first x reader fic so please forgive me if it's not up to par with others you've read.

The songs (yes two) that I used to inspire this fic are The Day I Call Your Name (English cover by Will Stetson) and The Day I Knew Love (cover by Shizukoe Covers).

..........

“Anta… tenshi nanda?”

Those were the first words Yami said to you. Not his name or even a “Nice to meet you.” When you smiled and gave him your hand to shake, he said that instead. Despite the strange introduction, or perhaps because of it, you found yourself drawn to Yami.

You looked forward to getting teamed up with him on missions. Maybe it was your imagination but he always stuck close to you and covered you whenever you fumbled. Like the two of you were in sync.

Whenever you passed him in the halls or on the streets, you made sure to call his name as loud as possible and wave “hello.” In response, Yami would wave back with a faint smile on his face.

Then, there were those precious nights where you wandered outside in a restless episode to find Yami practicing with his katana. He trained. You watched. Few, if any, words were ever exchanged but it felt right to be together that way.

And that word—“tenshi”—came up again and again. It didn’t take long to pick up that it was from his mother tongue and that he used it exclusively with you. But in all the years you knew Yami, you never got an explanation for what it meant. Literally or otherwise.

It wasn’t as though you intentionally sought each other out. But if the opportunity arose, you took it. “Since you’re here” and “If you’ve got nothing better to do” were common phrases between the two of you.

The two of us… Me and Yami, you thought while absentmindedly flipping through your grimoire. We’re not strangers. Closer than just acquaintances. But it feels presumptuous to call us friends. You slammed your grimoire shut, grateful no one else was in the Grey Deer base’s living room to disturb. I want to get closer but I always hesitate. Feeling your face grow warm, you buried your face in your face and groaned. It’s only a crush. We’re barely friends so I can’t be in love with him.

Or so you told yourself.

“Oi. What’s with the mopey act, Tenshi?”

To hear that nickname meant only one thing.

You leaned your head back to peer behind the couch and was met with Yami’s upside down visage. Putting a smile on your face, you said, “Afternoon, Yami. Just passing through?”

“Actually.” Yami jumped over the couch to land sitting beside you. His arms stretched across the back of the furniture, brushing your shoulders as they settled. “I was looking for you.”

“And you found me,” you said, trying to ignore how his words made your heart skip a beat. You straightened and turned your body to keep your eyes on Yami. “Why were you looking for me?”

Unexpectedly, Yami seemed taken aback by the inquiry. He drew his hand back to rub his neck and looked away from you. Waiting patiently, you let him have a moment before he answered. He turned to you again with an eased smile on his face.

“Because I wanted to find you.” As always, Yami spoke without putting up a wall. So casual and comfortable. “I like being around you. If that makes sense.”

A silent gasp escaped your parted lips.

I wasn’t the only one. “Hey…” You glanced at your lap then back at Yami. “I like being around you too.” I said it! No going back now! “Actually, I think I just… like… you…”

“You think?” Yami echoed with a brow raised.

“It’s just that I’ve never been in love before!” you blurted out before hastily slapping a hand over your big mouth.

“What a coincidence, neither have I,” muttered Yami before his smile changed into something more wistful. “That was until I met you. You knew nothing about me and yet you were ready to accept me. And when you smiled at me… It was looking at an angel. And I guess I let it slip back then.”

“‘Let it slip.’ So when you called me tenshi back then, and all these years, you’ve been calling me an angel?” you asked. Yami only nodded to answer. Suddenly, the full force of his confession hit you. Your blush returned hotter than before. “This whole time? And you didn’t say anything?”

Yami shrugged. “It’s my first time in love. I wasn’t sure what to do.”

“I—” You stopped, unable to criticize his reasoning since you were essentially in the same boat. “So… Any ideas of what to do now?”

“Not a clue.”

Absent-mindedly, you settled your hand on the couch in the space between you and Yami. After a moment, you felt his warm hand on yours.

“I guess we could learn this whole ‘being in love’ thing together.”

“Yeah. Let’s try that.

Just like so many days before, the two of you fell in love with each other again.
