Saya & Kakashi - Write about your ship waking up together. for @lemony-snickers

The first thing in his nose was an unfamiliar smell. Old wood, tatami floors, something that he’d stashed away into his memory from way back when he was young, before the world completely turned to darkness. So it wasn’t completely unfamiliar, but it was still new to the adult version of him.

Next thing he smelled was much more familiar to him, the scent of the woman that he had been sleeping next to for the last he didn’t even know how many months and years. He listened to her breathing and realized she was still asleep.

Kakashi cracked an eye open.

It took him a moment to realise where he was, the light in the room he was currently lodging in so very different than the light in Saya’s apartment he was used to seeing, but then he remembered. Ah yes, they moved in here yesterday.

He had once vouched that he’d never go back to this room, in this house. That he’d never live here again when it was full of memories and ghosts. Saya had changed a lot for him, one of them was that with her around him, he didn’t worry about being haunted anymore. If it was the two of them together, they would definitely weather the storm.

And so they had moved their little found family out here. It was quiet and spacious and enough nature for kids to play in. Kakashi worried the nightmares might come to bite him eventually, but no, Saya’s proximity kept them away, and he knew they would always keep them away.

Next to him, Saya stirred. Her eyes were already open, a sleep dazed look in her eyes. “Already thinking so much so early on?”, she asked, as if she could read what was going through his mind. She was a magician really, for knowing him so well.

“Good morning,” he replied without answering her question and pushed some rogue hair out of her face.

She rolled herself over closer to his arm. “Morning.” He watched her take a look around. “I somehow forgot that we moved here. The colour of the morning was a little confusing.”

“Happened to me too,” Kakashi admits and wraps an arm around her. “Especially with how hectic everything was yesterday, it seems almost unreal to live here again….” His thoughts trail off once more.

Saya presses a soft kiss against his arm: “Is that bad or good?”

If it weren’t Saya, if Kakashi had moved here with Gai alone just like that, maybe the answer would have been that he wasn’t sure if he liked it or not, but because it was with her it was incredibly easy. “It is a good thing, I am happy.” It feels almost wrong to say that out loud, but he knows it is true.

“I’m happy too,” she says to his delight. “I mean, this place is spacious, so I don’t see how anyone could be unhappy.”

“Ah so that is the reason you wanted to move here with me, for the space,” Kakashi laughs.

Saya winks at him: “And the books in the library.”

“Whatever,” he says and pinches her nose a little, “I don’t care what the reason was, as long as it means you’ll always be here in the morning.”

“Sappy,” she says and then buries her head into his chest.

How it started-

How it's going!! They are a family and I am!!! also draw the hug you want to see in the show but they are forgiven because them meeting in brokilon was still soooo tender my HEART-

[egophiliac]

Serious question.

Do you think we’ll see the parents/family of each of the guys???

Like, We’ve been TEASED with Ace’s brother, that I’m starting to think it’s just a reference to that Alice in Wonderland park character in Japan and nothing else….

Jack’s family, Ruggie’s grandma, Falena, Maleficia, Ms.Rosehearts, Just now Vil’s dad is in the picture which I am really happy but now I’m wondering about his mom, and so Deuce’s mom.

I mean, some HAVE a silhouette!! It could mean they do have a design in the making/ready to show. They could’ve shown us Falena in the Tamashina (hope I said that correctly) event, but didn’t (prolly to make Leona not so σ(▼□▼メ) and it’s understandable)

Anyhow, any idea/headcannon about this? Who do you want to see first?

I'm wondering if everyone might eventually get a travel event? like they've now introduced with Vil's that it doesn't have to be specifically hometowns, so that opens things up a lot! (especially if they have to figure out how to do three separate Coral Sea visits) (how would that even work otherwise)

but yeah, I hope everyone gets a chance! there's a lot of backstory characters I would LOVE to meet. :D :D :D though I do think some of them don't really suit the more light-hearted tone of the events (pretty sure you're right about that being why Falena wasn't in Tamashina-Mina, that would've just been. too much for Leona.) so like...we're probably not ever going to meet the Rosehearts. or Maleficia (although I maintain that this would be THE funniest possible way to introduce her outside of the main story, and actually I would love this a lot, can we please Twst) (I need to see her to put Malleus in a froofy little outfit and tell him what a handsome boy he is). but they've sprung surprises like Kifaji on us, and honestly anyone who shows up and tells embarrassing stories about characters' childhoods is good in my book!

characters off the top of my head who I most want to meet: literally any of the Zigvolts, Azul's mom, Ace's brother, Che'nya's grandfather (<- I think he would be a good one for Riddle) (please just any non-terrible adult in his life), any member of Rook's family because I need to see how they managed to produce him, and...really just whoever they can come up with for Silver.

Louis dropping to his knees as he begs Lestat to give him an immortal child. He'll do anything. He'll be anything. He'll never leave again. Please please please.

Bartering with desire—is that what makes you fascinating, Louis?

Disability pride month has started which means I am legally allowed to subjugate you guys to my mentally ill brainrot of drawing one toxic yuri as another toxic yuri

Refs:

Listen, in my heart there will be a ball/prom kind of situation in s2p2, so why would I not use the scene that probably made a lot of people realise things about themselves?

[francy-sketches]

rhaenyra could say 'I wish I was a man with dick and balls' and hotd twitter would still be like 'umm she just means she wants freedom and respect but otherwise she is a FEMININE WOMAN stop making her into a man you weirdos'

Thinking about how in act one Lae’zel eggs one of the other companions on to keep calling Shadowheart a flower to annoy her and thinking about how in act three Lae’zel says she’s grown fond of Faerûn’s flora and that flowers are delicate stems growing from mighty roots with awe in her voice

[luzho]

based on this absolute iasip classic re-imagined as zukki by @empathetic-menace!! specifically interpreted as a book 1 interaction... which means those two fools had A Moment while still hating each other :P ...and my first Suki!!

[transvarmint]

"This is my personal experience"

"Uh, well it can't be, because that implies [x] about me or my experience"

Bitch no the fuck it doesn't wtf

[deoidesign]

My comic is so pretty...

The hiatus is letting me take a little extra time on these episodes, and I'm definitely putting it to good use!!!

ok I have A Lot of thoughts about the staircase confession (well really about Edwin's whole character arc, but all roads lead to rome) but for now I just wanna say that, yes, I was bracing myself for something to go terribly wrong when I first watched it, and yes, part of me was initially worried its placement might be an uncharacteristically foolish choice made in the name of Drama or Pacing or Making a Compelling Episode of Television but at the expense of narrative sense--

But I wanna say that having taken all that into account, and watched it play out, and sat with it - and honestly become rather transfixed by it - I really think it's a beautifully crafted moment and truly the only way that arc could've arrived at such a satisfying conclusion.

And if I had to pinpoint why I not only buy it but also have come to really treasure it, I'd have to put it down to the fact that it genuinely is a confession, and nothing else.

That moment is an announcement of what Edwin has come to understand about himself, but because it takes the form of a character admitting romantic feelings for such a close friend, I think it can be very easy, when writing that kind of thing, to imbue it with other elements like a plea or a request or even the start of a new relationship that, intentionally or not, would change the shape of the moment and can quickly overshadow what a huge deal the telling is all on its own. But that's not the case here. Since it is only a confession, unaccompanied by anything else, and since we see afterward how it was enough, evidently, to fix the strangeness that had grown between him & Charles, we're forced to understand that it was never Edwin's feelings that were actually making things difficult for him - it was not being able to tell Charles about them. 'Terrified' as he's been of this, Edwin learns that his feelings don't need to either disappear completely or be totally reciprocated in order for him to be able to return to the peace, stability, and security of the relationship with which he defines his existence - and the scale of that relief a) tells us a hell of a lot about Edwin as a character and b) totally justifies the way his declaration just bursts out of him at what would otherwise be such a poorly chosen moment, in my opinion.

Whether or not they are or ever could be reciprocated, Edwin's feelings are definitively proven not to be the problem here - only his potential choice to bottle it up - his repression - is. And where that repression had once been mainly involuntary, a product of what he'd been through, now that he's got this new awareness of himself, if he still fails to admit what he's found either to himself or to the one person he's so unambiguously close with, then that repression will be by his own choice and actions.

And he won't do that. Among other things, he's coming into this scene having just (unknowingly) absolved the soul of his own school bully and accidental killer by pointing out a fact that is every bit as central to his self-discovery as anything about his sexuality or his attraction to Charles is: the idea that "If you punish yourself, everywhere becomes Hell"

So narratively speaking, of course it makes sense that Edwin literally cannot get out of Hell until he stops punishing himself - and right now, the thing that's torturing him is something he has control over. It's not who he is or what he feels, but what he chooses to do with those feelings that's hurting him, and he's even already made the conscious choice to tell Charles about them, he was just interrupted. But now that they're back together and he's literally in the middle of an attempt to escape Hell, there is absolutely no way he can so much as stop for breath without telling Charles the truth. Even the stopping for breath is so loaded - because they're ghosts, they don't need to breathe, but also they're in Hell, so the one thing they can feel is pain, however nonsensical. And Edwin certainly is in pain. But whether he knows what he's about to do or not when he says he 'just needs a tick,' a breather is absolutely not what's gonna give him enough relief to keep climbing - it's fixing that other hurt, though, that will.

Like everything else in that scene, there's a lot of layers to him promising Charles "You don't have to feel the same way, I just needed you to know" - but I don't think that means it isn't also true on a surface level. It's the act of telling Charles that matters so much more than whatever follows it, and while that might have gone unnoticed if anything else major had happened in the same conversation, now we're forced to acknowledge its staggering and singular importance for what it is. The moment is well-earned and properly built up to, but until we see it happen in all its wonderful simplicity, and we see the aftermath (or lack thereof, even), we couldn't properly anticipate how much of a weight off Edwin's shoulders merely getting to share the truth with Charles was going to be, why he couldn't wait for a better, safer opportunity before giving in to that desire, or how badly he needed to say it and nothing else - and I really, really love the weight that act of just being honest, seen, and known is given in their story/relationship.

Alpha is furious for some reasons, Pebble does damages control.

So, maybe Pebble shouldn't have shrugged off Alpha's foul mood right before the interview.

Maybe he should have taken in consideration that there was a chance they'd be seated next to each other, right behind Papa, talking animatedly about the album.

Now is a bit late for regrets, though. Alpha is radiating suffocating heat only inches away from Pebble, unnaturally still in a way that means the opposite of calm coming from the fire ghoul. Glaring at the camera like it has personally wronged him, and, having been subjected many times to such a look, Pebble pities the crew that must be shaking in their boots.

Then the earth ghoul notices that Alpha is not, in fact, perfectly still. It's a stupid thing to focus on, but soon Pebble cannot ignore the way Alpha breathes. Heavily, chest raising and falling more ostensibly than usual.

It's kinda hot, actually.

Then the interviewer has the brillant idea to ask Alpha a question - that gets the poor man a predatory tilt of head, followed by a clipped answer toeing the line with rudeness. The fire ghoul's voice, muffled by the mask, still has a distinct edge to it. Pebble has half a mind to elbow him discreetly to remind him that they're supposed to promote the band, not scare potential listeners away, but something tells him that would be the fastest way to get Alpha to rip his head off, camera and witnesses be damned.

So, Pebble adjusts his position until he can press his knee against Alpha's. It's a wonder neither of their pants catch fire, with how Alpha's flames apparently thrum wildly just under his skin.

The fire ghoul's breathing pattern changes. It's ridiculous how quickly Pebble catches on, but, yes, Alpha is taking longer inhales, exhaling through his mouth if the faint noise reaching Pebble's ears is anything to go by.

Forcibly trying to calm down. Apparently, the gentle nudge was a better option than the elbow to the ribs. Figure.

By the time they're back at the Abbey, Pebble almost forgot everything about the incident. At least until Alpha grabs his shoulder just as he's about to enter his room, holding the earth ghoul back and almost making him jump out of his skin, the sneaky fuck.

"Lucifer, warn a ghoul will you ? I know it would please you but I, on my part, don't fancy a heart atta-"

Pebble's sentence is abruptly cut off when Alpha burries his face in his hair, breathing still heavy, tugging him closer until Pebble's back is flush against the fire ghoul's front.

"Shut up," Alpha rasps in Pebble's hair, arm now slung over both his shoulders, "for once in your life. Shut up."

And Pebble...does. Let Alpha breath against him, for a few minutes. Then the fire ghoul pulls back, not letting Pebble make eye contact once he's free to turn around, gaze already on his shoes.

"I would've told him to go sit on a dick if you hadn't," Alpha mumbles as he leaves.

If you hadn't stopped me.

Pebble blinks, stunned, and stands there for longer than he cares to admit.

Why does his chest feels so damn warm ?
