Rivals

Oh no, Sage and Amaryllis are bickering again. Will Snapdragon or Rosemary diffuse the situation?

I was so excited to work on these for a long while that I kept checking the calendar!~

Voltron AU for @hgsweekend !!

[dirtydizco]

Maybe summer isn't for hot girls. Maybe it's for the girls who crave relationships, grew up playing "family" wanting to know what perfection was, the girls who's 4th grade ela teachers taught them "practice is progress", work out to clear their thoughts, and read books that they know they'll cry over. Maybe it's okay to have your own way of having a "hot girl summer"

[hgsweekend]

DAY 2

Where The Thorned Rose Grows

[HGS AU One Shot]

Summary

A twist to the opening of High Guardian Spice, in this AU Rosemary has gone missing instead of her mother leaving others to question what has happened to her. Will Sage ever discover what happened to Rosemary?

This was created as an entry for the HGS weekend Day 2.

I want to give big thanks to Austin for the grammar review check on google docs. I wanted to do something like a storyboard-esque but I was running low on creative juices so went full writer on this.

A sweet smell permeates the flower field, in the distance a kid plays in the flower bed joyfully. The woman continues to hum inside the home, every so often keeping watch of the child outside. One small distraction is all it needs for everything to go all wrong. In that small moment petals disperse everywhere and screams can be heard.The mother starts running with a sword on her hand but reaching too late. Her child has disappeared into the portal never to be seen again.

Lavender looks at the flowers outside her home through the kitchen window and releases a heavy sigh. She grips a framed photo of her lost child.

“It’s been 4 years since Rosemary disappeared” A hand appears on her shoulder, Lavender’s husband, Fennel comforts her along with Chicory on the side.

“I am sure she is alive somewhere” Chicory adds. “She is probably waiting for us.”

Knocks at the door disturb their small talk, It was the young Sage. Lavender led her inside their home and took a seat across her. Sage was still reserved due to her restrictive background but ever since the loss of her childhood friend her true self has been slowly breaking out of her shell. She has lost her only outlet and sun.

“Maybe inside Sage feels guilty that she can’t do anything for her friend… how much she has grown in these short years” Lavender thought.

“Miss Lavender, I wanted to know if there has been any-”

Lavender solemnly shakes her head.

Sage eyes slowly widen, tear drops forming on the edges of her eyes and a quivering mouth before breaking in front of her. Lavender tries to comfort her but she can’t help to hold herself back. This child was hurting in front of her but she could do anything to ease her pain. After the short hesitation she jumps forward to hug the child, Sage cries out more in reflex.

“Why did it have to happen? Why did she have to be taken?”

Lavender lets go of Sage as she takes out a handkerchief from her pocket. She hands it towards Sage in which she wipes her tears. Growing up without Rosemary greatly affected her emotionally and physically.

“Aside from asking for information about Rosemary, I wanted to ask if you're going to be part of the instructors. Today is my last day here since I’ll be on my way to enroll in High Guardian Academy” Sage avoided eye contact, her voice cracking as she continued to push through her gloomy feelings.

“Yes and no. I won't be an instructor but I’ll be assisting. If you don’t mind, do you want me to accompany you over there?” Lavender offered.

“No, but thank you. I think I have burdened you all too much already. Especially with how much everyone has been dealing with this loss.” She waved her hand.

Sage later gives her goodbyes as she heads towards the academy. In the train she sits down with another person.

The hooded figure looked familiar…

“Rosem-” Sage reached out to pull the cloak.

The figure turned around in response to show a scar across their face. Sage pulled back her hand, realizing that she got the wrong person.

“Sorry, I think I mistook you for someone” she waved her hands apologetically. She couldn't believe that she was starting to become delirious. She took some deep breathing exercises.

The figure took a small glance at Sage before replying, “Heading towards the academy?”

“Yep, are you going too?”

“Yes.”

“Any reason?”

“There is no failure but success” The figure pulled at their hood, readjusting to cover their face.

“Sounds like my parents, you can’t please them all” Sage bemoaned.

There was no answer.

“So what’s your name?” Sage instinctively reached out her hand. The figure slightly jolted before making contact.

“My name is Nutmeg”

On the interest check, a few people mentioned that they were confused about how the event was going to work, so we figured we'd clarify a bit. As always, DMs are open for further questions!

—

After the interest check closes, we'll publish a quick breakdown of the results (just the results for the first two questions and a confirmation that we have enough interest to go ahead with the event).

Shortly after, the prompt list will be released. Then there will be a preparation period of about a month so people have time to get their entries ready. Entries can be any type of content that you've created (art, fanfics, etc).

The event will take place over four days. The first three days will have two prompts each. You can interpret the prompts in any way you like (within reason). To participate, you have to make something relating to one of the prompts and post it on the designated day.

For example, if one of the prompts was “friendship” you could write a fic about the main four hanging out or draw Snapdragon and Amaryllis being besties. If friendship was one of the prompts for the first day, you would post that entry on the first day.

You don’t have to participate on every day—there’s no commitment involved, since this is just for fun.

Make sure to add #hgsweekend in all of your posts so we can find them and reshare them to the event accounts.

The fourth day will be a free day, where you can post any HGS related content with the hashtag and have it reshared. If you didn’t like any of the prompts or just couldn’t think of any ideas, this is a way for you to participate regardless of that.
