Ash’s dick is small and useless

Something tells me that Eiji’s speaking from experience.

[queenofcringe]

What they don’t tell you about the end of Banana Fish is that while Ash is dying in the library Eiji comes back and turns him into a vampire like in twilight and the live happily together in Japan can you tell I’m coping

Also on AO3

Ash Lynx was known as many things.

He was an angel carved from marble, ethereal in his beauty. He was a devil formed from crusted blood and rotting viscera. He was a wild cat, a leopard in the snow, a beast in all its glorious ferocity.

He was but a child. A child forced onto a pedestal too high beyond anyone’s reach. Larger than life. Held up solely by his unyielding pride of having survived, again and again and again.

Aslan Callenreese was only a boy.

It took Eiji much too long for that to sink in. Ash was only a few months from turning merely eighteen when they first met. A boy who, in another life, would’ve been at the age to only have to worry about his first crush, passing his finals and graduating high school. Maybe he’d be even fretting over prom, Eiji had the impression that it was a big thing in America.

Yet there Ash was out in the streets, fighting a war far too large for any teenager to be leading. There he was, holding the mafia itself at gunpoint. There he was, wounds carved deep into his flesh, blood marring his skin like acid.

Eiji too, was still a child by his own right. Barely out of school and only a year into college, still coddled and soft. Far too soft. Perhaps if he had strength, had the fortitude to aim a gun and pull the trigger without hesitation, had the brains for strategy or the skills to do anything, anything that could’ve helped Ash and ease his burden—then he could’ve made somewhat of a difference. As miniscule and insignificant as it might be. At the very least, perhaps less people Ash cared for would have died protecting him. Perhaps he wouldn’t have to be the weakest link, the Archilles Heel.

Eiji wished for violence, for the first time in his life. Carnally, desperately. Helplessly. He wanted to destroy everyone and everything that had hurt Ash, wanted to burn them in hellfire until they're nothing, nothing, nothing. Wanted to be stronger, be more. Just—more. So that he could do something, anything.

For Ash, he would’ve done anything.

And yet, what had he really been able to do?

Meanwhile, Ash spent every day dying. Each time he stepped foot into the streets, Ash killed another part of himself. Eiji came to understand that it was the only way he knew to keep going.

Contrary to popular belief, Ash Lynx was not made of marble. Often he bent instead of breaking, twisted and deformed through gritted teeth and the force of sheer will. As though he had a heart of titanium, a soul ablaze with defiance.

But whenever he finally broke, he shattered.

Like bullets shot through glass; sudden, violent, jarring.

Away from prying eyes, Ash cried. He cried in a silent and trembling bundle, folding into himself, hand clasped over his mouth. Sweating and trembling from persistent nightmares, unimaginable in their horror.

He cried; save me, save me, save me.

Eiji had been arrogant. He’d thought he could’ve protected Ash, in some meaningful, wishful way. Perhaps it was a twisted saviour’s complex deep down that drew him to him, that drove him to stay despite all the danger, the violence that inevitably followed.

And Ash looked at him like he truly did save him. He looked at him as though he was made of galaxies, wondrous stardust. He touched him with the reverence of a worshipper. His light, his salvation.

But Eiji was well aware that he was no god. He was painfully, frustratingly, and only human. Unable to even chase Ash’s terrors away, to scream at them to stay back, don’t come any closer. Don’t hurt him anymore.

Eiji did not know what to do the first few times. He had barely even heard Ash, jolting awake from nothing but a horrible feeling deep in his gut. He’d sat up, finding Ash awake, his hunched form a shadow against the darkness of their room—and he’d known, immediately, that something was terribly, terribly wrong.

Eiji had since learnt to sleep lightly, even before noticing Ash’s nightmares and panic attacks. It merely came as a package of staying by Ash’s side. There was always a possibility for an ambush, an inside job to capture and take out the only weakness. Eiji may be naïve, but even he knew this much was common sense when it came to being part of this world.

He came to understand too, why Ash preferred to exhaust himself to the bone every single time before he decided it was time to rest. Passing out seemed much preferable to falling asleep. Passing out meant there was no chance for his brilliant mind to turn against itself with scarring memories that should be left buried and forgotten.

Ash did not like being seen in his raw, shaking vulnerability, so Eiji did not look. He would only sit close by his side and face slightly away, still keeping him within his peripheral sight and making sure Ash was able to see him in turn. And then he would count in silence, an attempt to keep his own panic under control. He would count, because if he didn’t distract himself then he’d only be too aware of his own crumbling heart.

Eiji always trusted that if Ash wanted to reach out, he would. And he did, sometimes. Once he got his breathing under control, he would tap Eiji’s shoulder or arm with trembling fingers. A signal. Ash did not speak during his breakdowns.

And Eiji would go to him, keeping his every movement slow and predictable. He would coax him into drinking some water, would use a damp cloth he’d prepared beforehand to wipe his face, his hands. Then he would drape a towel over him, one that’s not thick enough to suffocate but simply there to be a buffer between their bodies—and carefully, tenderly, he’d hold him in his arms.

He would hold him, not a single word leaving his lips—and he would pray.   

Japan was the land of eight million gods and it was so, so far away. Yet Eiji prayed, prayed for even one of them to heed his pleas and grant Ash their fickle blessings. To keep him safe, ease his pain. Heal him. Gods, please help him. He would pay any price. He would give up his flesh, his bones, his beating heart. Please, do all that is beyond his power.

All Eiji could do was hold him, his meagre, mortal body all he had to shield Ash from a world far too cruel towards a boy barely eighteen years of age. Promise him he loved him no matter how broken, tainted and blood-soaked he is. No matter how much he thinks he is undeserving of love. Eiji would love him, a billion times over.

All Eiji could do was love him.

SHIPPING INFO //

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE(S) SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

tagged by: this was stolen. tagging: all of you.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

Original Characters (first because I said so)

Mira: MiraLaw (romantic or platonic. Rivals in finding the most bones perhaps?), WoL!Mira/Emet-Selch (Hades), WoL!Mira/Emet/Hyth (I just want to absolutely destroy Mira in Endwalker ok? ok.), Mira/OC (Mira is likely going to be Thanatos, Death, or Hades in this pair. I'm sorry.) Anything that reminds me of Life/Death, Light/Darkness, Fire/Ice. When there’s no one to ship, she’s with Crimson. Mira/Canon, Mira/OC.

Jasper: Has a bad case of unrequited first love. He loves Mira, but Mira only sees him as a brother. If you can love him through that, he’ll make a good boyfriend! Jasper/Canon, Jasper/OC. He is a pretty hardy noble/wealthy/spoiled brat, having been through several near-death experiences.

Crimson: Eustass/Crimson, Crimson is full of fire, fun, and passion! Crimson/Canon, Crimson/OC. When there’s no one to ship, she’s with Mira. She has a weakness toward redheads.

Nerissa: She is a Fishwoman that loves humans. Nerissa/Canon, Nerissa/OC. I played around with Nerissa/Crocodile and Nerissa/Shanks. If you want a very tall, strong woman for a girlfriend, there's Nerissa.

Miyuki: AceYuki, SaboYuki, KoalaYuki, and survived!LamiYuki. Miyuki/Canon, Miyuki/OC. While I do want to make her happy, she has a tendency towards people who were character deathed... I liken her to anything water related, and I do headcanon her as having a mermaid ancestor, so she can stay underwater longer than a regular human could. In FFXIV, she's a Xaela Auri female who is a sky pirate navigator. I ship her Unsundered self with Hythlodaeus.

Marie: She is on the asexual and aromantic spectrum. Marie/Canon, Marie/OC. She manipulates blood and it would be great if her partner can stomach that.

Marquis: Marie's twin brother, he is also on the asexual and aromantic spectrum. Marquis/Canon, Marquis/OC. He is a mad scientist and fights with various blades including and not limited to scalpels.

Ana: AnaMarco, as for her ffxiv self, has been playing with the idea of Ana/Nero/Cid lately. Ana/Canon, Ana/OC.

Shakti: When there are no ships around, it's usually Rockette/Shakti against the world! Shakti/Canon, Shakti/OC. In One Piece, she is a sky islander. In ffxiv, she is a Viera.

Rockette: When there are no ships around, it's usually Rockette/Shakti against the world! Rockette/Canon, Rockette/OC. In One Piece, she is a wealthy gal born in a family or architects, but she wants to walk in the footsteps of shipwrights! In ffxiv, she is a Viera.

Feiyu: Feiyu/Canon, Feiyu/OC. They are AFAB nonbinary and prefer all pronouns.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

I'm good as long as both parties are over 25. I do ship Ana with someone older than her.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?

So long as both are unclothed it's mature. There are other ways to be intimate while nude, but just to be safe...

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

Yes, or I like to think I am. I like to make sure we're on the same page just abouts.

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

All of my pairings are OTPs pretty much. I just need to roleplay a couple of times to consider them as such. I've just grown really shy about asking for some reason...

Canon Characters

Chrome Dokuro: 6996, 9618, 96MM (kinda sorta), Chrome/Canon, Chrome/OC

Nico Robin: RobinFranky, RobinLaw, Robin/Canon, Robin/OC

Nefertari Vivi: ViviNami, ViviLuffy, Vivi/Canon, Vivi/OC

Eiji Okumura: EijiAsh, ShorEiji

Hino Rei/Sailor Mars: MinaRei (Venus/Mars), Jadeite/Rei, Rei/OC, Rei/Canon

Kaiou Michiru/Sailor Neptune: MichiHaru (Neptune/Uranus), MamoruMichiru, Michiru/OC, Michiru/Canon. Mamoru and Haruka are the only masculines I can see her dating. (*Haruka is bigender/agender depending on the rper)

Roberto de Niro/OC

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

Yes, otherwise, I won't know your intentions for my characters. I will assume it's friendship related and steer on the side of caution. I am, however, shy about asking.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

People may consider me ship obsessed, but I like to think I'm ship more or less nowadays. Leaving you to be the judge of that, but for safety, it's both.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?

Yes, depending on the character. Roberto I am not shipping him at this time. Marie, Endorsi, and Marquis are on the asexual and aromantic spectrum. It's not impossible to ship them, it's just there needs to be a lot of communication.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

It's usually the oc/canon route. I like all my ships, but I may have more muse for some than others at a given time.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

You just come up to me and say you want to ship with me in my DMs, IMs and ask. I'll look at you like a deer in the headlights, and try my best to remember how a character acts like in a ship...

Nurse Barbara you will always be famous

[janeaustenintj]

Ash,

Seni sağ salim halde göremediğim için hala çok tedirginim.

Bana bir keresinde, “Biz farklı dünyalarda yaşıyoruz,” demiştin. Gerçekten öyle mi acaba? Ten rengimiz de göz rengimiz de doğduğumuz ülke de hep birbirinden farklı. Ama biz dostuz, yetmez mi? Daha neye ihtiyacımız olsun ki?

İyi ki Amerika’ya gelmişim. Burada bir sürü yeni arkadaş edindim. Ama hepsinden öte seni tanıdım, Ash...

Bana defalarca sordun, “Benden korkuyor musun?” diye. Ben senden hiç korkmadım. İlk tanıştığımız günden beri bir kere bile senden korkmadım. Ama hep senin benden çok daha acı çektiğini, ruhunun benimkinden çok daha yaralı olduğunu hissettim. Böyle hissetmekten kendimi alamadım.

Ne tuhaf, değil mi? Sen benden hem daha akıllısın, hem daha irisin hem de daha güçlüsün. Yine de... Ben hep seni korumam gerektiğini hissettim.

Ama acaba seni neye karşı korumak istedim?

Galiba seni kendi kaderinden korumak istedim. Seni adeta sel gibi önüne katıp sürükleyen kaderinden.

Bana Hemingway’in kitabındaki leoparın hikayesini anlatmıştın, hatırlıyor musun? Dağın tepesinde ölen o leoparın dağdan asla geri inemeyeceğini bildiğini söylemiştin. Ben de sana, “Sen leopar değilsin. Kaderini değiştirebilirsin,” demiştim.

Tekrar söylüyorum. Kaderini değiştirebilirsin, Ash.

Yalnız değilsin. Ben yanındayım. Ruhum daima seninle.

Sayonara, Amerika... Sayonara, New York... Ama sana “sayonara” demeyeceğim, Ash... Aramıza ne kadar mesafe girerse girsin bir gün mutlaka tekrar karşılaşacağız.

Sen benim en iyi dostumsun.

[adoranymph]

Please not him too.
