ah yes. kafka, the darkness to himeko's light. the necessary absence to attain the existence of things. the enigma to its erudition. the black hole to extinguish cosmos, but what does it say when stars never die? a void refuting the infinite possibilities.

kafhime!fate au where kafka is himeko's servant 🤓..

Kafka's assassin class bc it makes sense, in my head

but she's also the type of assassin that rivals even the strongest classes (i.e., saber, lancer, berserker) in the holy grail. she's just as dangerous as gilgamesh that defies the rules of the holy grail if she wanted to and if she doesn't like her master, she'd manipulate them in a lot of ways. and she would always have the upperhand. always.

then in the 80th holy grail war, she encounters Himeko after being summoned using her artifact. Initially she'd thought Himeko was her master because of the welling imaginary energy she has. But it was actually Elio that summoned her. Elio wanted to attain the holy grail to prevent a disastrous event he foresaw and knowing the capabilities of winning the holy grail, he'd began to sought its power. Himeko was there in the vicinity bc Elio owed her the artifact (kafka's) to be able to join the war. So, in a sense, Kafka really was supposed to be Himeko's servant, but with a secret deal sealed between the two, Kafka begins a side quest of uncovering the truth while (easily) surviving the new era of a war.

havent thought abt the details yet, but that's what i came up with for now HAHSHDHD

i also have another fate au in mind while typing all of this: where Himeko's the navigator/conductor of the Mystic Eyes collection train related to the Rail Zepplin arc of Lord El-Melloi but i also havent fleshed out the au in my mind yet bc like, the Fate franchise is just A LOT. and i havent played the games to know enough HDHDHDH (ive only watched the anime adaptations, fate fans dont come @ me)

additional details of the servants present in the 80th grail war:

Assassin — Kafka

Berserker — Blade

Saber — Bronya (trust me on this)

Lancer — Dan Heng

Archer — Yanqing (it's the f/sn reference iykyk HSHDHSH)

Rider — Yukong

Caster — Asta

Masters, respectively:

Elio

Jingliu

Seele

March

Jingyuan

Tingyun

Arlan

All of these are subjective thoughts and will meet changes hehe (still thinking if it should be Berserker — Svarog with Clara as the master, but it'd be too similar to the f/sn adaptation which made me giggle tbh LOL) not yet sure when ill be able to write err... but!! food for thought for everyone who's familiar with the fate series!! <33

"Make me forget."

This raises a brow from Kafka's usual lax features.

"Haven't I done that every single time we engage in our acts of hatred towards one another?"

Himeko grits her teeth, cheeks flushed with embarrassment upon hearing the words.

"It's not that." Himeko's grip around Kafka's collar loosens, until her warmth no longer reaches Kafka.

Her head hangs low, teeth biting within her gums to say the right words. The right ones for a request. A favor.

"Like you who does not feel fear. I too would want to sacrifice a part of me. Lose a part of what I discern as a detriment."

Kafka chuckles, "You got it quite wrong sweetie," her palm hovering for Himeko's idling ones, measuring when to come in contact with it, "Fear had never been a part of me. So whatever it is you have to offer, is not a lick of what sacrifice might entail. Sacrifice tends to be subjective, after all."

Kafka's hand then rises. Her fingers clenching in the slightest to produce webs of stinging purple cutting through space, holding Himeko in place.

"But since you've made all the effort to find me while I am waiting for a parcel of scripts, I'll let you keep me company."
