it also hits harder once you find out that the orphanage that naru and gene lived in before they were adopted by the davises was also a church, but a poorly managed one where the kids were mistreated and barely fed and the priest stole all of the donations intended to support all eighteen orphans

rewatching 'silent christmas' hits so different knowing mai is an orphan. like damn she got all warm and fuzzy when john mentioned the church took in children with nowhere else to go? she was able to emphasize with them missing their families and needing someone? wonder why

@kitxkatrp asked: you guys better not be messing around in there. (Mary James to Madoka from GHost Hunt in a haunted location?) THE CABIN IN THE WOODS.

"Now, why would we be messing around?" The woman called back out mindlessly, simply pulling out the file that she had been requested to grab. While their focus wasn't on this area itself, the files they needed for the nearby section they were able to investigate on their own were there, and she just wanted some of the basic information to cross-examine with the outsourced information she had gathered for the group. While Noll himself wasn't a part of the case, as he was preoccupied with something, the others were still rather good with adding things like this up, so it was nice to have the information.

The woman opened the door, smiling innocently with the file in her hand. "I got what I was looking for~ So sorry for bothering you."

PK
by Eyeliner_Vampire Happy birthday to my boys! I always thought this scene was skimped on in the anime, so here’s my rendition.

[rmnitb]

just finished reading midnight sun. unironically thinking of writing a vampire au featuring noll as a cranky 117 year old who just wants to make parapsychology institutionalized and vampirology debunked

Broke: Gene passes to the other side and Naru&Mai work out the kinks in their friendship fully and then get together later on. Masako and Naru become like brother and sister, both lamenting over how much they love how stupid Mai can be.

Woke: Gene continues to haunt both Naru and Mai, enjoying the hell out of flirting with Mai in her dreams just to get her blushing. He also makes sure to give her as much dirt on Naru as he can. Naru is an asexual and an aromantic, altogether uninterested in any kind of relationship besides familial or friendship. He and Mai become like brother and sister. Now that Masako feels like that he doesn't hate her for knowing his secret, they too become closer. Masako eventually gets Yasahara to be her manager and as they become closer they get together. Mai never quite gets over her feelings for Gene, especially since he’s still bothering her, so she and Naru move in together (along with Lin) and all three live as ghost hunting spinsters. They have a three legged cat named Abyss.

Not super happy with this but I needed to relax 

[rotenpk]

I know this is the exact inverse of the post I made a little while ago but my cousin informed me that the opposite would also work perfectly and I couldn’t agree more.

So again, here’s my two cents on their relationship.

[atalieaoi]

Drawing this before for GHzine, and then realize the theme is family! XD

Nah it's okay Naru, I already save u from 'eternal WIP' folder!!! Tho, I can't save u from there!! (≧▽≦)

A Love Story, pt 3

a Ghost Hunt short story.

Find pt 1&2 (Ao3 | FF)

They agreed to meet at the theatre.

Noll leaned against a pillar, trying to calm his thrumming heart.

He spotted Mai at the edge of the overhang, scanning the crowd for him. Making his way over to her, he saw that cheeks were tinted pink. Noll would have blamed it on the wind, if there had been any. A calm breeze filled theatre breezeway as people filtered around them.

He should have said 'Hello', or something witty, but instead he said: "Are you alright?"

Her smile crinkled the edges of her brown eyes. "I'm fine," she said, "just a little cold."

Noll frowned but gestured to the door. "Perhaps it'll be warmer in the theatre."

Mai was jostled by passersby as they joined the queue for concessions, falling into his side. He caught her arm, steadying her.

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

"It's... okay," he said slowly. Her skin was uncomfortably hot beneath his fingers. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"You keep asking me that," she said with a soft chuckle. She crossed her arms over herself.

Noll saw again her pink cheeks and swore to himself. "You have a fever."

"I'm fine," Mai laughed again, but he wasn't fooled. He could see it in her eyes now, the exhaustion that crinkled around the edges. Why hadn't she cancelled if she wasn't feeling well?

"C'mon," he said, "let's get you home."

"We can't — you just bought the tickets!"

Screw the tickets, he thought as he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her trembling shoulders.

"Make some tea and we'll call it even," he said. "Come on, let's get you home."

Mai didn't live far from the theatre. One train ride later, Mai was guiding him up to the second floor of a squat apartment building, shivering as she fumbled with her keys.

Noll resisted the urge to steady her, afraid she might see his own hands trembling. "Do you think—" he started, swallowed, and began again. "When you're feeling better, do you think we can—"

"Next week?" she asked.

Noll paused. Mai blinked up at him, her whole face flush in a way that didn't seem to be the fever. Noll felt heat creep up his neck. She wanted to see him too.

"Next week," he laughed and she finally managed to unlock her door. "Goodnight, Mai."

"Goodnight..."

YEARS LATER

They were supposed to meet at the coffee shop. Noll pushed the elevator button again knowing it wouldn't make it descend faster but feeling better for doing so. He was nearly late. Really, he have been there ages ago, but some technical glitch kept him in his office and buried under paperwork longer than it should have.

Jamming the button again, he sighed. He should have taken the stairs, but he didn't know if he could stomach it. His nerves were shot, hands shaking and more than a little nauseous over the thought of the little velvet box in his pocket.

No, the elevator was the best choice.

When the doors dinged open Noll had to forced himself to walk. The cafe was only across the street. Despite the panic rising in his chest, there was no need to rush.

Mai was already there, waving at him from one of the patio tables.

Noll gave her what he hoped was a smile and kissed her cheek, "Sorry, I only just got away."

She sipped her tea, "It's alright, I only just ordered. Did you want anything?"

Noll didn't think he could eat but he gazed down at the menu anyway. It was nerve wracking, waiting for a moment to open in the conversation, his heart threatening to beat out of his chest.

Conversation came easily between them as Mai's order was delivered and Noll received a hot cup of tea.

Mai took a bite of her parfait, ticking off the things they had to do on her fingers. "We're meeting Housho and Ayako at the Art Center. After the show, we’re meeting Masako and Gene for dinner, then dessert at home with Martin and Luella." She cocked her head, "Is that it? Did I get everything?"

Noll felt his smile fall into place. Perfect. "Well," he said, pulling the box from his pocket, "there is one more thing."

Stagnation and Forward Momentum (And How They Are The Same) (Ghost Hunt)

Night time is their time, the time when no one else can be around. Gene--and Mai, always Mai--would slip off together and--

search out for the dreams of Naru--Oliver, Noll--and they would stay there, in those dreams, in Naru’s dreams, the three of them, together.

Because Noll and Gene were forever connected--

connected--

and Gene and Mai were forever linked--

linked--

and Naru had always cared for Mai.

(Why wouldn’t they be together, those three, us three, sitting on the train ride to oblivion? In that star lit realm of drifting souls and ever passing, beautiful time?)

And so they three, them three, us three (for has there ever been anyone else?) set off into the world to find their place (along the outer edges of reality, were what was real was not and was not was real and--) and they found it.

And even if (Hey, hey--

Yes?

Don’t you think we’re immortal?) they lost themselves sometimes, they pushed on. They pushed on and on and on and on and--

(It is the sin of man to believe we are infallible)

They found it. Home. A safe place outside of their dreams. (Perhaps that is why--

No)

And so they stayed and they grew and they were--

(First alive and then dead and then neither and then both)

For there is no such thing as movement.
