#i have yet to find it again

There’s one fundamental truth in Misono’s life: All he has to do is call for help, and Lily will be there at once. 

It’s nice to find their roles reversed every now and then. 

Lily looks truly pitiful when Misono comes running into the living room, waiting for his saviour with big, mournful eyes and a string of Christmas lights hopelessly entangled in his once-perfect hairstyle. Misono has to try quite hard to pretend the sight isn’t one of the most hilarious things he has ever seen as he rushes over. He’s not quite successful. 

“You are so cruel, laughing at my misery like that,” Lily says, with a pout that is as pathetic as it is pretty. His attempt at eliciting pity is short-lived, and ends when Misono reaches for him and feels the ghost of a grateful kiss on his hands before his Servamp nicely bows his head for him. 

It’s a mess, but an aesthetic one at least. Lily, in an effort to “set the mood” probably, must have plugged the Christmas lights in before starting his ill-fated attempt at putting them up on their Christmas tree; which makes them much easier to pluck out from in between the strands of his silky gold hair. Tinsel, Misono thinks to himself, and this time he manages not to laugh at the thought. 

“At least you’re beautiful like this,” He says. Lily heaves a deep, dramatic sigh. 

“I’m always beautiful, Misono.” 

Which is true, of course. But Misono is not quite ready to admit to it outside of a joke. 

“You’d make for a perfect Christmas tree,” He tells his Servamp instead. “Perhaps I should put you up instead of that ugly green thing.” 

This time his words have the intended effect. Lily giggles underneath his hands, a quiet, happy sound that never fails to make Misono’s heart soar. 

“Santa doesn’t take kindly to the torture of innocent vampires, Misono.”

“‘Santa’ can’t do anything about it as long as I put him in the corner and tie him up with Christmas lights, Lily.” 

But since he’s never been as cruel as he likes to sound, he eventually pulls the last of the lights out of Lily’s hair, and even runs a hand through it to soothe the pain where they must have pulled. Lily leans into his touch, and if Misono’s heart skipped a beat or two, no one would ever know. 

“How’d you even get into that mess?” He asks. 

“I was assaulted,” Lily mumbles, and then straightens up, and sighs. “I wanted to put the lights on top of the tree, but I dropped them and they caught in my hair.” 

“Are you tired?” Misono asks. Lily, in between the two of them, illuminated only by the Christmas lights Misono is still clutching, allows himself a smile that’s not as radiant as usual. 

You’re beautiful like this, Misono wants to say. Messy hair suits him so well, especially when adorned by sparks of warm light caught in them, and framing a face so unguarded and open. He doesn’t, because it wouldn’t be a joke this time. 

“I’ll do it, then,” He says instead. “But you’ll have to let me sit on your shoulders.”

If you like these little Christmas-flavoured tiny story things, I put some of them on AO3, with a bonus New Year’s chapter :)

POV you’ve informed the Queen and the Court’s Sorcerer of something and they very clearly know something that they’re not letting on

Perceptive kid, I wonder just how much they pretend not to overhear.

What if- what if Wind’s trauma doesn’t register with him until he’s older. What if as a teenager he thinks he’s super cool for going on adventures and fighting and stuff but then the trauma slams into him when he’s older. One day he’ll realise just how fucked up his life was and all the things he disregarded or made a joke about before come back to haunt him. What if…

did a little sketch yesterday that i really liked and tried to get it done today just so i got literally anything to post- but i fell into the trap of 'making sketches to elaborate and thus really stiff and non fun' (for me), ... soooooo .. im redoing the whole thing

but the idea was a mummy ganondorf for my (yes still existing) totk rewrite; i wanted to make him more scary looking and also emphasize just how horrid it must be to be kept in between life and death by having your heart grabbed by a cold and vengeful magical hand for thousands of years (in this case the ancient queen .. which i also tried to sketch despite not showing up aside from her dissolving hand)

the spell starting to fail and his body being more damaged in some parts (jaw being only the bones left for example) and his chest open from being slowly eaten up by the queens magic, the ribs contorting around it like its a gravitational pull- sounds cooler than it looks bc this sketch did not work out, so im saving the details for the .. hopefully, better version

my personal favorite pens and pencils

sakura pigma micron 08, 0.5mm — uniform line, waterproof, quick drying, medium juicy, dark ink, good for writing addresses on letters and messages on the backs of business cards in packages

sakura pigma professional brush pen, fine — precise yet springy tiny pointy tip, waterproof ink. good for drawing and for writing names on letters fancily. lifts a little when erased over alas but everything else is good

gold pilot metropolitan fountain pen, fine, converter installed / clear pilot kakuno, fine, brass kaweco clip installed — cheap precise fountain pens that i keep banging around in travel or letting dry out and they are A-OK. nice for fancy-feeling list making or journaling. fun for drawing but don't let your sketchbook get wet. I can't remember what ink I have in the metropolitan but the kakuno has green cartridges

pentel energel infree 0.5mm turquoise — just a pleasantly juicy gel pen

pentel twist-erase pencil 0.5mm — vintage style and big ol' replacable eraser. hard to break

pilot color eno erasable mechanical pencil in sky blue — just fun to have as an undersketch option

pentel vistage water brush, fine — mvp. ride or die. if you're doing a watercolor painting on location that's about five by five inches this is your girl

bethany telling anders in act one that he reminds her of malcolm is something that has stuck with me for weeks so playing legacy in act two with a romanced anders and listening as he calls hawke “love” and malcom’s memory calls leandra “love” is making me sick to my stomach

Skulk! Moon progression. I like to call him Milk (Skulk + Moon -> Mulk -> Milk)

dans mon esprit tout divague, je me perds dans tes yeux // je me noie dans la vague de ton regard amoureux // je ne veux que ton âme divaguant sur ma peau
