Hello I have just finished Time and the Days and i just want to tell you that my heart broke over the massive longing and Oikawa's acceptance that maybe they are not meant to be and all the thought-provoking narratives and the actual Strong in the Rain poem. God, I have to savour each word you wrote and the construction and delivery, it left me speechless in the best of ways. The eventual fulfillment of both of their desires was just so precious. I love it to pieces. Thank you for writing it.

hi! thank you so much for taking time to leave me a message, let alone about tatd, which is the dearest to my heart. it's a really long read and I'm glad you made it to the end. thanks for reading! hope you're staying safe wherever you are.

(p.s. for some reason your ask didn't show up on tumblr's web version, so i apologize if it took me long to respond!)

Clocks, Cliché has killed me. The ambiance is so perfect and the whole setup feels like a romantic movie or series that I can't get the image out of my head. So good, so so good. I think I've fallen in love more with your Alfred. He's so absolutely dashing. Ahhhhhh

Aaaa thank you! I love my Alfred to be equal parts dorky and charming so if I got any part of that I’m glad it comes across.

Happy new year!!

Andyyyy! Vampire!Alfred and enamoured!Arthur where Arthur begs for Alfred to turn him but Alfred is hesitant. :)

Title: Go ForwardPairing: USUKWords: 1,179Rating: TAU: Vampire Alfred/Human ArthurGenre: Romance/DramaSummary: Alfred is hesitant to turn his fiancee. A/N: Thanks for the request boo!! :)

"Arthur, please. We've had this conversation hundreds of times. Can we not fight tonight?" Alfred asked, running a hand through his golden hair and heaving a sigh.

"I don't want to fight either, but I'm loosing my mind, Alfred, I am. I can't stand this anymore!" Arthur huffed, his arms folded across his chest and pain his eyes.

He and his boyfriend were in the kitchen, standing a few feet apart and staring intently at one another. Alfred was gazing at Arthur with guilt and anger swimming in the bright blue eyes Arthur so adored. He was fiddling with the engagement ring settled upon his finger, a habit born of anxiousness which he'd adopted soon after Arthur had proposed several months ago.

"What can't you stand?! You're alive, Arthur! What's so wrong with that?!" Alfred cried.

"What's wrong is that I'm alive without you! I'm aging, Alfred! I was already older than you when we met, and now seven years have passed! I'm thirty-one, Alfred! I'm thirty one dating a man who still has the body of a nineteen year old! How long before I'm eighty and you still look as young as you did when we first met? What then, Alfred?"

Arthur was staring his fiancée down, refusing to give up. He knew how much pain it put Alfred in to have this conversation—after all, Arthur was asking him to end his life, but he could no longer take it. He hated moving forward without Alfred beside him, knowing that with each day that passed he was loosing time with the man he loved.

Alfred was a vampire. He'd been turned only three years before he'd met Arthur, at the age of nineteen, and was currently twenty-eight (though he hadn't aged a day physically). They'd been dating ever since, and Arthur had proposed to him a month prior.

"Arthur, come on, you know I wouldn't wait that long! You're being ridiculous! We have so much time—there's so many things you should do!"

"Alfred, every day I continue to age is another day you risk loosing me! As a human, I could die at any second! Doesn't that scare you?! Knowing that it could all be over in an instant, that my body could never recover like yours could if something were to happen?!" Arthur cried, his temper rising.

"Of course that scares me, Arthur! But how can I possibly take your life away from you?! If I turned you, you'd never age a day! Do you understand what I'm saying? You'll never move forward again! You'll watch everyone you've ever known pass you by and eventually die, except for a few select people who're vampires like us. Doesn't that scare you?!"

"What scares me is thinking that I could loose you! That I'll grow old and unattractive, that I'll become weak and that you'll have to take care of me! That I'll be an old man and you a teenager, and then you won't want to turn me because you'll be so disgusted with me!"

"That could never happen," Alfred said. "Arthur, please. I love you so, so much. Can you even imagine what you're asking me to do? You're asking me to kill you, Arthur." Alfred stepped forward and took Arthur's arm, gently pulling him closer. He laid his hand over Arthur's chest, above his heart, and looked into his eyes. "You're asking me to stop your heart forever. To take your ability to age away from you. To force you to live forever, watch the entire world change and grow while you remain the same, unable to go with it. How could I ever do that to you? How could I let the entire world leave you behind?"

Arthur stepped even closer, eliminating what little space had been between them. He took Alfred's shirt in his trembling hands, gripping it tightly. "Alfred, please. I don't want any of that if it means I can't have you. If I can't be by your side, then moving with the world doesn't matter to me. The only person I don't want to leave me behind is you."

Alfred gulped. "Arthur..." He murmured, dropping his hands and looking down. "We haven't been together long enough. You could still grow sick of me, and then what? Then you'll have been turned for nothing." The American reasoned.

At this, Arthur huffed angrily and grabbed Alfred's face, forcing the American to look into his eyes. "Damn it, Alfred, stop acting as if you know everything! I know you wish you could age. I know you wanted to grow old with someone, and I know that was stolen from you. But we can still go forward, Alfred. The world will only leave you behind if you let it. And I... I don't want you to leave me behind. Please." Arthur pleaded, looking up into Alfred's eyes.

"B-But I can't give you a family or anything," Alfred said. "Even our children would die before us, Arthur." He said gently.

Arthur shook his head. "There are far too many vampire children in the system. And besides, Francis is experimenting with spells that help vampires age again. The process is slowed, yes—so far, vampires only age at a fifth of the rate that humans do—but his spells are getting better and better every day. And even if they weren't, it would still be worth it to me. You are my family, Alfred. You are my everything. I want nothing if not to be by your side."

Finally, Alfred wrapped his arms around Arthur and pulled him against his chest. "...Are you sure about this?" He asked.

"Yes," Arthur reassured, breathing a sigh of relief.

Alfred pulled back a bit and rested his hand on Arthur's cheek. "You'll never be able to blush again. You'll always feel cold to the touch." Alfred warned.

Arthur nodded. "I know."

Alfred's thumb caressed Arthur's cheek. There was a bit of pain in his eyes, but also joy and love. Arthur knew that Alfred was glad, even if he wouldn't say it. Alfred had always wanted to turn Arthur, but had been held back by his fear of taking Arthur away from the pleasure of the human experience. He wanted Arthur to have the best life possible, even if it didn't include him.

"It won't hurt any more than usual." Alfred said gently.

Arthur nodded, tilting his head to the side to give Alfred access to his pale neck. "I love you," he said.

Alfred leaned forward, pressing his lips to the Brit's neck. "I love you, too," he whispered against the soft skin of his fiancees neck.

And then he bit down.

[alfred-senpai]

Please write the cop usuk scenario!it's so cute! Cop!Alfred will definitely be burning in embarrassment XD

I’m working on it! >w

[mamin-the-troll]

Maminnnnn I always wanted to know all the art materials you have! Heehee! If you can have them in a pic, it would be super great! 😍😍😍

Awwww Evvy! I thought no one’s gonna ask! I love sharing my art supplies with everyone! (it helps me keep tabs on how much I’ve spent on thing that I’ve only use once or twice lol)

Everything I could find (for now) is under the cut! because … it’s lot of photos and I’m trying to tell you what everything is lol

.

1. Colours

Derwent Pastel Pencils 36: It’s nice! I like it a lot for awhile but omg I hate it when my fingers are dirty because I try to blend colours by rubbing it…. I don’t know why I can’t make it look thick like other artist … maybe I use a wrong paper?

Art that I create from Derwent Pastel Pencils 36 :D

Colleen 36 Coloured Pencils: THE BEST! I own this box since my high school year…. like 7-8 years now? but then again I haven’t draw a lot until recently. The colours are nice nice. I love using it for line art (when I use copic) or for sketching (more like doodling. using something hard to erase helps me think and worry less :D)

Copic Sketch: I love them! but why do they have to be soooo expensive omg. I only own 14+2 colours (one of them is a colour I’ll never use… I bought it by mistake.. and the other one is colourless blender … which I find useless … because I don’t know how to use it without mess thing up lol) Copic is super nice and good for quick drawing

My Copic charts

Copic Marker + Colleen Coloured Pencils (lineart)

Faber-Castell 24 Watercolour Pencils: I bought this one to draw bjd face (that Artie doll!) I haven’t got any chance to try it yet but soon! (maybe after other doll project I have ;))

Sakura Mat Water Colors 12 colors: Rarely use it because I hate cleaning up my mess after using watercolour ; w ;;;;

ST Acrylic Colour: I bought it for my crafting project (the white tube is Louve’s tho) but I really like these 2 colours! especially the copper gold one! give a nice frill to inked-picture

Like this one! maybe I should try more of this :D

.

2. Pencils & Pen

From Left to Right

Sakura Foam Eraser: Good quality. Doesn’t leave smudges and won’t torn into halves lol

Uni Kuru Toga Pencil: I like its weight on my hand and it never break or jam my lead

Prismacolor Col-Erase: Light Blue & Scarlet Red. MY LOVES! I love using them for sketching when I do traditional arts. Nice colours (I love Scarlet Red the most!) and very easy to erase.

Jelly Roll: Use it to dot white dots on eyes

Monami Plus Pen: Chocolate & Gold Brown. For lineart! very cheap but the tips are easily broken though ; w ;

From Left to Right

Sakura Pigma Micron 01: Line art!

Prepy Fountain Pen: Line art too! I wanna try fountain pen because everyone makes it look super nice and neat.

Brush Tank: Because I’m too clumsy to use water bucket when I use ink/ watercolours lol

Pentel Pigment Ink Brush Pen: Both love and loath it lol The stroke is super nice and unique but I can’t control it omg.

From Left to Right

Japanese Black Ink: I can’t remember its brand but good quality. I think I will never finished this bottle omg.

Rotring Black Drawing Ink: For my fountain pen :D

Uni Blue Lead 0.5: I bought it way back when I didn’t know Col-erase exist. I don’t really like it. Break-y and hard to erase but fine pointy tip might good for doing details? Maybe I should try it!

3. Sketch Book & Painting Palette

Renaissance Watercolour Pad: I like this one

Canson Watercolour Paper: I HATE IT! With burning passion omg.

Greenread Paper Notebook: My to go sketch book. I use it a lot. It’s just yellowish paper (it claims that the paper won’t hurt your eyes)

Boston Sketch: My new addiction! It’s super cheap and the paper is rough. I love doodling on rough paper! This one is what I use for doodling with Colleen Coloured Pencils! Cheap paper + Hard to erase colour = No worried doodling! 

Boston Sketch’s paper. Thin, rough and brown-y. Downside is that it look horrible when scanned but I could always take a photo instead :D

Martel Colour Mixing Box: I use it to make a pan watercolour from Sakura Mat Watercolour. It’s huge!

Inside! The slots below is my poor attempt of pan watercolour lol

Painting Palette: Can’t remember it brand but using it when I use Japanese Black Ink, I always add various degree of water into the ink to create difference shades of black! :D

Like this one!

Long post is long. Sorry Evvy ; w ;;; Hope it’s what you mean lol *hugs you tight*

A Not-So-Usual Drunken Night

Author: Empress Vegah

Summary: Alfred is Arthur's best friend. Being his best friend, he has to keep tabs with Arthur. Especially when he's drunk. When he fetches a drunk Arthur from Gilbert's party, he doesn't expect the scene he'll see, nor the drunken mumbles he hears after.
