Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Ensemble Stars! (Video Game) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Himemiya Touri & Kagehira Mika & Narukami Arashi & Shiratori Aira & Tomoe Hiyori, Itsuki Shuu/Kagehira Mika, Fushimi Yuzuru/Takamine Midori, Sazanami Jun/Tomoe Hiyori, Amagi Hiiro/Shiratori Aira Summary:

Arashi firmly believed that the boys in her school were idiots.

…Well, that wasn’t fair. They were idols, after all– it was natural they weren’t well versed in actual matters of the heart. Romance isn’t usually like what people see on television.

But being this dense had to be some kind of superpower.

This is part one of my @enstars-secret-santa gift for @surreal-duck!! I had so much fun writing Pretty5, they’re such a cute circle group <3333

[tenshi-agerasia]

my silly - featuring mika and his girlfriends (eichi + light mode jumpscare)

the original was [pink]'s cat that [purple] yoinked and everyone just kinda went with it (guess which one's my message)

also this is the keirei dynamic i think. one 撒娇s and the other goes "actually."

[just-sp-in-inginthevoid]

I want to write/read an AU where time leaping powers don't exist. And Shinichiro does end up joining Waka (he doesn't jump off the bridge. Might try to kill himself later still - does he succeed ? Idk) and then add Benkei and Takeomi and boom

AU where Black Dragon first gen become the top criminal organization of Japan (and do international business after or whatever idk. Time to rule the world ! And gain no satisfaction from it ! Because you're but a hollow shell !)

How would it end ? Probably horribly badly

Only got vibes for this idea and they aren't particularly good but sometimes you need a certain angst amount

[teecupangel]

Hey, so, assassins creed x Idols (Kpop?). From the comments of the other post I remember the band "Now United" where every member is from a different country, maybe it can be used as a concept for the band?, idk I'm just giving ideas but I really want to continue the idea of them as group bc I found it hilarious lmao.

I tried looking for the post where we talk about this but I can’t find it anymore TTATT

(Also, it’s kinda funny that I’m answering this ask now the same day I watched the last Hololive concert with my friend. What a coincidence lol)

So, first things first, since my idol era happened during the early 2000s with Jpop, I’m going to borrow the setup of Debut or Die for this one to make it feel more Kpop XD

First things first, we’ll set up what we need in the idol group:

Lead Vocalist

Sub Vocalist

Main Dancer

Lead Rapper

(there are other parts like “Face of the Group” or “Main Visual”… aka the most photogenic one, maybe even something like the group’s composer/lyricist if we want that)

Anyway, we’re focusing on those 4 because this is the formation for Desmond, Altaïr, Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Okay, let’s be honest. We’re going to put Desmond in the lead vocalist part because it’s me XD

But, putting him as sub vocalist would be a random reference to the fact that Desmond’s voice actor, Nolan North, sang the sub vocalist part of Saint Row IV’s Opposite Attract singalong scene

(this also help show how high Nolan North can sing I guess?)

Also, also, Ratonhnhaké:ton has to be the lead vocalist. His voice actor, Noah Watts, has a 13+ min video showing why Ratonhnhaké:ton should be the lead vocalist.

Altaïr would be the main dancer because I like the idea of Ezio being the main rapper and Altaïr’s body build would make him a good dancer.

So our final setup would be

Ratonhnhaké:ton – Lead Vocalist and Maknae (the youngest by one year)

Desmond – Sub Vocalist and the reluctant leader

Altaïr – Main Dancer and maybe their dance coordinator?

Ezio – Lead Rapper and Face of the Group + Main Visual

Now, I think you asked what Edward’s part will be?

Normally I would say Edward can a retired idol turned into this group’s manager but let’s fuck with the timeline and make everyone around the same ages and turn this into…

ACB48

hehehehe

(for those wondering, this is a reference to one of the longest idol group in Japan, AKB48)

So Desmond’s group would be part of ACB48 together.

Other groups include:

A group composed of Edward, Arno, Evie and Jacob (fans jokingly calls them the Hundred Years War Group)

A group composed of Shao Jun, Arbaaz Mir, Nikolai Orelov and Aguilar de Nerha.

A group composed of Kassandra, Alexios, and the twins Eivor and Havi.

A group composed of Bayek, Aya and Basim.

(Modern Assassins will be assistants or managers. Other historical Assassins can have their own group: like maybe Malik and Federico with their own group??? An all girls group of Claudia, Mary Read, Anne Bonny (even if she's not really an Assassin), María, Rebekah and Roshan)

And, of course, one of their rival idol group is made of Haytham Kenway, Shay Cormac (who was once part of ACB48), Daniel Cross and Maria Thorpe. (The CEO of their company is Warren Vidic)

Since they’re all of similar ages (around late teens early to mid twenties), Edward and Haytham are brothers and Ratonhnhaké:ton is their half-brother. Whether they’re cousins with Ezio is up to you.

Because I see people do this I'll just fo it to

Characters and what they smell like

From different fandoms because why not i have actually ideas for them and otherwise it will be short if i did them separately and me no like Ft. Simeon,Kaeya Alberich,Amber,Kamisato Ayato, Arashi Narukami, Tatsumi Kazehaya, Tsukasa Suou and Riddle Roseheart

Simeon

It's a mixture of a faint smell of Ink and tea

It depends what he just did either writing or having tea with Luke

But most of the time its mixed

But you would smell tea more

Sometimes mint and sometimes herbel

Its always a good surprise when you smell his scent

Helps calm you down

Kaeya

A strong ass scented cologne

That you can smell after he walked past 5 min ago in the streets of Mondstad

But when your alone

You can smell the scent of wine that's been scented deep into his clothes

Mostly red or dandelion wine

And maybe the strong ass cologne too but less

Idk how to explain 😭😭

If it were an AU he would smell like Axe body spray

I'm sorry

This is no Kaeya slander or something i legit love him pls don't attack 😭😭

Amber

Depends on situation

If she just came back from a mission that requires her to use her vision

Then she smells like something burned

She smells like burned grass

But if she did her patrol with a glider then she smells like air, fresh air

But normaal days with no such situation then i think

A light smell of sweet flower parfum

Very nice to smell

Ayato Kamisato

Fancy cologne that's expensive

Also the smell of ink but stronger

When he has days off which are VERY rare

He smells flowery fresh idk how to properly describe it

When Thoma or other servants get's him milk tea

He will smell like it faintly

A bit like brown sugar

Very pleasant

Arashi Narukami

Depends on her mood a minty cologne that smells very faint or flowery parfum during Knights concerts

Goes often for the second option

When on normaal days off

She will smell very sweet and flowery

Has may scents in her collection but loves the sweet smelling once the most

When hugging her and sniffing her scent she smells like she just went to a flower field or flower shop

Very comfy

Tatsumi Kazehaya

A bit earthy little bit minty cologne when on stage

When in days off old books

Idk why he just give that vibe

You can't deny old books smell the best! Argue with the wall

Tsukasa Suou

On stage he has a fresh smelling cologne

Kinda like a cucumber and green tea combo

On off days he smells like tea and sweets

Cakes, tarts, parfait and etc

And like sweet tea

He smells like he just came out of a bakery/cafe

Maybe he did...

Riddle Roseheart

Old books

A bit of ink

Roses. 100%

And lastly pastries and tea

I think it's pretty clear on this one

I think this is all for now I hope you like it tbh i didn't know most pf the terms for scents. I also didn't know the word for mans parfum was called cologne. You learn something new everyday Uhm anyway i hope its accuraat hihi...

[silversnowblossom]

hmm been thinking about an izuleo god au where leo is a god, and izumi his priest/most faithful follower

leo is perfectly happy being a minor god, with the smallest of followings - just the village. he’s the god of the flickering flame, the spark of inspiration that turns designs alight, the hearth in winter, the summer breeze. But izumi wants to be more, wants more than the village can offer. and so for Izumi, leo presses forward, higher and higher and eventually he becomes a major god, Music and Fire, bright as the sun, but—

leo is kind, is the thing. as a major god, he’s flooded with prayers and requests for assistance and he works hard at answering them but it wears him thin—especially the deluge of requests he can’t grant. and he finally breaks under the weight of all the prayers he can’t grant, all the people he can’t help, the suffering of the world. and the realization that izumi is human, that he will suffer, that sooner or later he will be gone. (maybe sparked by the war?)

izumi, meanwhile is flourishing - leo’s chief priest maybe? And he doesn’t realize the price until leo breaks. he comes across ritsu, another minor god for all that his brother is the mighty tsukiyomi, and asks him for help, but there’s nothing much ritsu can do. ritsu is, after all, just the moonlight reflecting off a pond at night, the calm of the quiet breeze. he’s not powerful enough to save a god who does not want to be saved. but ritsu likes izumi, because izumi is one of the first not to recognize him for his brother, and what happened to izumi and leo is a tragic thing, and besides—mao is too busy these days to tend to a needy god, he knows how short a human’s life is and he can’t infringe upon his human so much. so ritsu hangs around for a bit.

hmm I think arashi would be human. she grows up in the same village as izumi, and she's there for some of it. 

presently, some years down the line, tsukasa comes to existence, a young, fledgling god, but with the same hints of something more, of being greater, like leo once upon a time. he is Honor and Courage and Honesty. and he knows something has happened to leo, this god who was once so great, but no one in takamagahara really knows what happened, just that he broke. or if they do, they won’t tell him about it. (because no one was closer to leo than izumi, and for all that leo is charismatic and friendly, the other gods weren’t really his friends)

hmm not sure how it'll end though. maybe tsukasa finds leo, and he's just a flickering flame, and ends up revitalizing him somehow. leo and izumi finally (don't) talk it out. maybe it ends with izumi becoming a god, too.

Or so she thought. Because the moment she sat down a dark blue shadow swirled before her from thin air, and the next second a boy in a very familiar mask was kneeling in front of her, offering his hand. “May I have this dance, my queen?” The initial surprise quickly brushed off and Arashi smiled, amused. “You made me wait too long this time.” But despite her words, she immediately took the knight’s hand and let him guide her back to the center of the ballroom.

A world of imagination | Arashi Narukami oneshots - Chapter 6 - And43w_kun - Ensemble Stars! (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

I made a new story on my Arashi x reader oneshots :3

[cloudcher]

arashi narukami/reader

this is just a drabble,, not proofread,,

tw for mentions of death, vampires idk, cannibalism in the notes

"you know," you say, cleaning the plates. a few stains stick to the plate, stubborn rice grains clinging on for its life. "i wouldn't lump you with the bad vampires." you scrub the dish with the green, rough part of the sponge. "if that is what you are." a few weeks have passed, maybe two, since she climbed out of her coffin. yet you still haven't figured out what kind of creature exactly arashi is.

she tilts her head, and she smiles when her bones do not crack. "like who, love?" you feel your cheeks grow warm at the pet name, water running down the surface of the plate. you shrug, "margaret thatcher, or queen elizabeth, or maybe jared leto." arashi's shoulders shake with a graceful laugh, "none of them are vampires, i think." she pauses, rising from the couch and walking over towards you. "but they're old," you protest, "old but they look the same as they did like, 40 years ago." the wait isn't long, living in a small apartment leaves not much leg room to walk around. her arms lace around your waist, hugging you from behind. her chin rests on your shoulder. "so, if they're the bad ones, " she murmurs, looking at the glistening soap bubbles in the sink. "mind listing the good ones for me?"

"i- well," you stammer, heat spreading around your shoulders and ears and cheeks, "keanu reeves, halle berry, i think. um," you pick up a coffee mug, "oh, cher! then avril lavigne, maybe shakira - and you, of course, i mean i guess? since we don't know what you are."

though you don't see her face, as you've been avoiding her smug visage, you can tell she's smiling. "i know. you know what i am, though?" she surpresses a giggle, hiding her face in the crook of your neck. you hum in response, her nose tickling the curve of it. "yours."

you're lucky you don't drop the mug.

the lore here is you and arashi are gfs that live happily together, but one day, arashi dies. she gets brought back to life, somehow! she's still so sweet and kind, exactly how she was before her untimely tragedy, but her body is cold. also she eats boys now... but you're still domestic and stuff

for naruritsu week day 6: napping/acceptance

here on ao3

as ritsu feels himself waking up, he pushes his face into his pillow, not wanting to be awake yet. he peeks an eye open after a minute or so to see that the room is still dark, faint moonlight outlining the curtains in front of the window. he quietly huffs. it’s been a while since his more nocturnal instincts made themselves known, waking him up in the dead of night and keeping him awake for no good reason.

he settles, pulling the blanket up over his shoulder when he hears a faint noise in front of him. it’s then that he remembers that he isn’t alone.

with mika out of the country to visit shu, ritsu had managed to convince arashi to stay the night with him. it’d taken some pouting and puppy dog eyes and him saying, “but nacchan, i’ll be so lonely without mikarin here,” for arashi to fondly roll her eyes and finally say yes. it’d taken a little more to convince her to share his bed once she came back, having gone down the hall briefly to her own dorm to run through her nighttime routine.

she gave in easily to that as well, most likely having expecting it all things considered.

ritsu latched onto her quickly once she sat on his bed, wrapping himself around her as they go back to watching the movie that had been on before she excused herself to her room. the last thing he remembers is the two of them laying down, arashi jokingly nagging at him as she said she didn’t want to be stuck sitting up with him passed out on her all night.

once laying down, he’d snuggled up to her back, half asleep, and slung an arm over her waist. arashi had paused for a second before leading his arm closer to her, leaving his hand by her chest. “good night, ritsu-chan,” she whispered.

ritsu hadn’t replied in anything more than an incoherent mumble, sliding close enough to press his forehead to her back to block out the light in the room. he must’ve fallen asleep not long after that.

seeing that she’s now facing him with enough distance between them that ritsu hadn’t noticed her at first, arashi must’ve wiggled her way out of his grasp at some point.

he can tell he won’t be able to go back to sleep anytime soon, so ritsu moves closer to her. arashi is peacefully asleep, a hand curled under her cheek that leaves her mouth slightly ajar in a way that doesn’t look very comfortable, but who is ritsu to judge? he’s fallen asleep in plenty of strange places in equally strange ways over the years.

her hair is tousled with sleep, falling across her forehead in a way that’s oddly captivating to him. though ritsu’s fingers twitch with the urge to fix it, to carefully brush the strands back behind her ear where they won’t stay, he leaves it be. it’s not that often that he gets to see the imperfect side of arashi, the side of herself that she seldom lets others see.

though the room is dim, he can make out the dusting of freckles across her cheekbone and up over the bridge of her nose. normally, they’re dutifully covered up by her makeup. would she let them show more if he told her they’re beautiful?

he’s told arashi that she’s pretty plenty of times among countless other words that mean the same, so he adds that compliment to a future list of things he’ll tell her when they’re awake.

arashi will probably huff and deny anything he throws her way when it comes to what she considers to be imperfections, which is a shame when he truly means every word of it. ritsu likes to think that one day, he’ll break through that wall she has up, get through to her in some way. maybe that day will be sooner rather than later seeings as he trusts him enough to be comfortable without makeup around him. it’s not the first time he’s seen her without it, cheeks littered with freckles and tiny acne scars, eyes not popping quite as much without the liner, and her lips without their eternal shine.

he treats each of those moments as if he’s been entrusted with some well kept secret that he’s sworn to keep until the day he dies, and treasures them all the same.

aside from that, arashi trusts him to sleep so soundly in front of him, vulnerable as she nuzzles into the pillow under her head. ritsu smiles as he watches her. he's fallen asleep in front of her countless times, on her just as many. he trusts her to watch over him, though there's hardly any danger he has to be protected from, and the way her fingers card through his hair as he dozes with his head in her lap serves as a reminder that she'll be there once he wakes.

ritsu wants to be that for her too: a loyal protector, a knight for his queen. arashi is far from a damsel in distress no matter how often she likes to play as one, but he wants to be there for her then. to be able to stand by her side for all the highs and lows, to hold her close and wipe her tears when she's sad, to hold her hand and look on when she shines brighter than any star in the sky is all he wants.

he wants to see all of arashi. ritsu has seen behind her mask before, mostly in fleeting moments, but he wants to be there for it all, for all the happy parts or the ugly parts or whatever she wants to give him. he'd willingly take it all.

sometimes the words i love you seem so ready to fall from his lips.

it would be easy to whisper them now in the quiet of his dorm, but that wouldn't be fair to arashi. ritsu wants to tell her when they're both awake so she can't laugh off his confession as some pleasant dreams of his bleeding into reality. he knows well enough the way arashi's cheeks flush a faint pink, the way the tips of her ears go red, the way she gets just a tiny bit bashful when their normal playful flirting turns more serious. he wonders what she'll look like when he tells her his feelings.

it'd be easy to whisper those words now, but ritsu needs her to know just how much he loves her, has loved her this entire time. and for that, he can wait — has waited — for the right moment so they can live their happily ever after together. until then, he'll stick by arashi's side, content as they are for the time being.

ritsu softly yawns, drowsiness starting to pull at his eyelids, making them wang to stick together as the familiar draw of sleep pulls him back under. blinking his eyes back open, he sees arashi once more. he can smell the faint remains of her usual perfume and something as small as that puts him at ease as if he hadn't already been.

a sleepy smile tugs at the corners of ritsu's mouth as he carefully places his arm around arashi's waist. not wanting to disturb her sleep, especially when she's been gracious enough to let him snooze in peace for years at this point, ritsu decides against pulling her in against him. he instead settles in with his head on the same pillow as hers.

his eyes close once more, no longer fighting the sleep for one final moment of admiring arashi. assured that she will still be there in the morning, ritsu drifts off for the second time that night with the thought that their right moment is one day closer floating around in his mind.
