It had been three years since I was forced to part ways with the Sengoku period, and all the wonderful people I had come to think of not only as close friends, but as family. Those smiling, pouting, laughing, grumpy faces were a part of my life for three months before heaven itself tore me away. Not a day went by where I didn’t have to hold back tears and clutch my chest, trying to suppress the pain of being away from the one and only place I felt like home.

And the man I loved most.

Oda Nobunaga: The first of the three unifiers of Japan, and one of the most ruthless rulers in Japanese history. He was cruel and calculating to the outside world, but I’d come to know him as an ambitious, strong man shaped by circumstances outside of his control. The way he held me and looked at me couldn’t be done by a man who was legitimately as devilish and evil as he was made out to be. He filled my days with warmth, he protected me, and he loved me more than anyone else in the world. The stone he commissioned outside Azuchi with my name proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt. But there was one thing he didn’t know.

“Mama!”

I wasn’t the only one who left in the wormhole. When I returned to the 21st century, I found out I was pregnant with his child, and soon birthed his son. A little, mischievous, baby boy who smiled just like his father. His name was Nobuhiko, and he was the only thing I had left to remind myself of the man I loved more than life itself.

“What is it, sweetie?”

“Can I have a candy?”

He really was his father’s son. Sweet tooth and all. I couldn’t help but grin. “One, and that’s it. You’re going to spoil your appetite.”

Nobuhiko giggled and stumbled after me as I went to get his favorite candies from the jar. When I gave it to him, he took it and gobbled it up immediately.

“Hey, you need to savor those! Don’t just hork them down,” I laughed.

“Sorry Mama!”

“And what do we say?”

“Thank you Mama. I love you.”

“I love you too.” I sighed and picked my toddler up, making sure he was level with me. “Nobuhiko, I have something important to tell you. And you’re going to need to be a big boy for this.” He tilted his head, obviously not yet prepared to react to what I was going to say next. “We’re moving. Tonight. We’re going to pack up our most important things and say goodbye to our home forever.”

“Why?”

“Well… Do you remember when I said your daddy is somewhere very far away?”

“Yeah…”

“We’re going to see him. We’re going to be with daddy forever.”

Nobuhiko’s eyes lit up. His jaw practically hit the floor. He instantly began screaming, trying to get out of my arms. “I’m gonna meet Daddy? Are you being for real?!”

“Of course I am! I mean it, honey!”

“We have to get ready! Mama! What are you waiting for?!”

Laughing, I set him down and followed him to his bedroom, where I helped him pack only the most essential things. Favorite toys, blankets, and things the Sengoku couldn’t replace. I’d never seen my son so excited before. I felt horrible when I’d take him to playgroups and he’d be the only one without a father. I couldn’t tell him the truth: That he was born of two different eras altogether. That, realistically, he shouldn’t even exist. But he was only three, still very little. He didn’t grasp how tragic his circumstances were on the outside. Well, hopefully it wouldn’t be tragic for long.

I’d been talking with my friend Sasuke for months, and he said tonight was the night the wormhole was going to open, and we’d all be sent back to the Sengoku. Funny enough, I found myself thinking ‘We’re finally getting sent home.’ The world of 500 years ago had been more of a home to me than anything my own time offered me.

We waited until evening, and took a train to a part of Kyoto I’d become all too familiar with. The very same place the wormhole appeared the first time I’d fallen in. How wonderful it was I’d won fortune’s favor and was able to come here again, this time for good.

“Mama! Uncle Sasuke!” Nobuhiko let go of my hand and sprinted forward to Sasuke, who was waiting for us up ahead. The man smiled and picked Nobuhiko up.

“You’ve grown, young man. Are you ready to go on a trip?”

“I’m gonna go see Daddy! Are you coming too?”

“I absolutely am.” Sasuke waved as I caught up and handed me my son back. “Are you ready, Y/N? Unlike last time, I believe this is the last time the wormhole will be appearing. There truly is no going back once we cross the threshold. Are you sure this is what you want?”

I glanced at Nobuhiko, who still wore the biggest smile on his face. He had his little bag in his hands, with a sailboat on the front. My stomach began doing flips. This was really and truly happening. If we pushed ahead, we’d be back in the company of Nobunaga, and everyone Sasuke and I had come to know and love with the fullest capacity of our hearts. And my family could finally be complete. I kissed Nobuhiko’s cheek and nodded. “This is what I want more than anything in the world.”

“Good.” Sasuke smiled warmly.  “He truly has his father’s smile…”

Thunder roared in Kyoto, and the clouds began to kill the remaining light faster than the setting sun. I braced myself. We knew what was coming now. Nobuhiko began to whimper.

“Mama, I’m scared!”

“Don’t worry, baby. It’ll stop soon.”

Sasuke pulled us close to him, guarding us as the white lightning made its commanding strikes on earth. The wind felt more powerful this time than ever before, and the storm began to blend with Nobuhiko’s cries. I looked over at him as he buried his face in my chest, as if trying to hide himself from God himself. I couldn’t help but repeat myself. “It’ll stop soon! I promise! As long as I’m here, nothing is going to happen to you!”

“Y/N! Look!”

I tore my gaze away, and gasped when I saw the very familiar sight of the wormhole beginning to manifest.

“We need to act now! Just go! Go!” Sasuke cried, ushering all of us forward. I held onto Nobuhiko as tightly as I could, trying to keep my eyes open for his sake. My head spun faster and faster as the fog thickened. My son kept sobbing, completely and utterly helpless to the situation I’d dragged him into. Immediately before blacking out, I could hear him one last time.

“MAMA!”

---------------------------------------

“She’s waking up.”

“How do you know?”

“I can see her moving.”

“That doesn’t mean– Oh! Her eyes are opening!”

…Ieyasu? Mitsunari? I forced my heavy eyelids open, and my surroundings began to make themselves more clear. It worked. I was back home.

“Y/N… Can you hear me?” asked the gentle voice of an angel. Mitsunari looked over at me and smiled. “I can’t believe you’re finally back…”

I nodded, and tried to sit up. “Mitsunari!”

He laughed and nodded. “Welcome home.” He glanced over at Ieyasu, who was trying his hardest to not look over at me. Eventually, he gave in.

“We were worried about you. It’s been three years. We didn’t even think we’d ever see you again.”

“I’d do everything I could to come back!”

“Well you should’ve come sooner.”

I laughed, and so did Ieyasu and Mitsunari. Immediately I was starting to feel better. But I froze. “Where’s–?”

“Your son? He’s being babysat.” Mitsunari smiled and looked at the door. “I can’t believe there’s two Nobunagas around here now.”

“Babysat?”

The door flung open, and in barreled Nobuhiko, dressed in a dashing little yukata. “Mama!!”

“Hey, you can’t–!” Hideyoshi darted in after him, and froze in his place when he saw me. “Y/N! You’re awake!”

I laughed and hugged my son, stroking his jet black hair. “Hideyoshi… I missed you so much!”

He joined the rest of us on the floor and pulled me and Nobuhiko in for a hug. “Thank God you’re safe… We were praying every day you’d make it back to us someday… And your son–! How did–?”

“I had him after I returned,” I explained, hugging Hideyoshi back. “Crazy, isn’t it?”

“I’ll say. When you got back he started running around the castle, asking all of us if we were his dad.”

His dad.

I pulled away and frowned. “Where’s Nobunaga? Does he know I’m home? Does he know about…?”

Hideyoshi smiled warmly. “Don’t worry. He knows.”

I looked at Nobuhiko, who was bouncing up and down. “Uncle Hideyoshi said Daddy’s coming back today!”

And as if on cue, the door opened for a final time. The man of the hour stepped in, and locked eyes with me. His gaze completely and utterly shifted. From “warlord mode” into the warm, passionate eyes that had seen me at my lowest and at my highest. The other warlords took their leave, and left me, Nobunaga, and Nobuhiko alone together.

We all just stared in silence, trying to take in the situation. There he stood, tall, proud, and handsome as ever. Nobunaga broke the stillness and moved towards us, crouching down to get on our level. He cupped my face, his big, calloused hand perfectly fitting the shape of my cheek. I leaned into it and closed my eyes. Whether I intended to or not, tears began to fall.

“Nobunaga…” I moved into a full embrace, breaking down in his arms, gripping his clothes like my life depended on it. “I missed you! Nobunaga!” I buried myself in him and couldn’t hold back. I was sobbing, I was shaking. I was back with him.

“No time has passed at all,” Nobunaga whispered, hugging me so tight I felt I wasn’t going to be able to breathe. “My one and only love… You’ve come back to me. You’ve come back at last…”

We sat this way for a few more minutes, allowing me to get all my tears, three years of grief and heartbreak out. I kissed his lips, his nose, his cheeks, everything I could in those few minutes. Finally, I could kiss him again. I could finally be with the man that would love me even after Hell froze over.

“Oh, Nobunaga. I don’t know if you knew, but…” I wiped my eyes and gestured to Nobuhiko, who was staring starstruck at the two of us. He played with his hands a bit, clearly unable to put together the proper words he wanted to communicate. He was only little, after all.

Nobunaga didn’t say anything. He just stared back at the child, narrowing his eyes a bit as he looked him over. Nobuhiko swallowed. “Daddy…?”

My lover stood up and left the room for a moment, returning with a little jar. He knelt down and held out one of its contents.

“Konpeito!!” Nobuhiko dashed forward and gobbled up the treat, squealing with joy when Nobunaga scooped him up for a hug.

“My boy!” Nobunaga pulled me in with the group, planting a kiss on my head as well as Nobuhiko’s. “He’s perfect. He looks just like his mother, Y/N.”

“Don’t lie,” I laughed, hugging Nobunaga again. “I can’t believe it. We’re home. We’re all together again!”

“And we will be forever. Nothing’s going to take you from me again, my lucky charm. Or you, my son.”

Nobuhiko looked up at us, bouncing and giggling like he always was. “I love you Mama! I love you Daddy!”

Babysitting

I used a wheel to determine which guys I'd write for~

Intro:

"So…Why do you have a stranger's kid?…" (Y/n)'s lover stared blankly at her; a singular eyebrow quirked as he watched how she cradled a sleeping child to her chest. "One of my friends amongst the seamstresses is having to babysit her nephew because her sister is ill, since I've already finished all my commissions I offered to watch him for her." She giggled, gently brushing her fingers over the child's chubby cheeks. Her lover seemed skeptical about toting a kid around the castle, but because of how much fun she seemed to be having he had been willing to just let it happen.

Shingen

The large male chuckled from where he sat next to (Y/n), sipping his tea as he watched his lover settle the baby in her lap so that he was sitting up with his back against her torso. She was currently entertaining the baby with a puppet his aunt had brought from home for him, she was so focused on the giggling baby that she hadn't noticed Shingen's loving stare. At first, he wasn't sure about having an infant in the castle, but (Y/n) had handled every moment like a champ. Even the infant's cries hadn't been enough to frazzle her, instead she went about soothing him with a smile. The scene was enough to make him think, he had been with (Y/n) for some time now and since they were officially married the next logical step was a family. It wasn't something he had put much thought into previously, but seeing his wife playing with and taking care of this baby was enough to have him confronting himself over his own thoughts and feelings of the future. Shingen didn't come out of these thoughts until (Y/n) moved to sit beside him, the little baby giggling happily as its tiny hand grabbed hold of his sleeve. With a warm smile and large gentle hands, Shingen lifted the baby up to his level. "Not even 3 years old and you're a lady killer, what are you parents gonna do with you?" The baby giggled loudly as Shingen gently bounced him up and down, (Y/n) taking the moment of freedom to snag a skewer of mochi and begin digging into her own snack. "He really is adorable; his parents must have amazing genetics." (Y/n) giggled, watching her husband play with the baby boy was she ate her snack. She couldn't help but focus on her lover's grinning face, she took a good hard look at his features as she did her best to imagine him as a baby. She'd be lying if she claimed to have never thought about having a family with him, many early mornings were spent getting ready together and wondering how things would change when they had a child of their own. She couldn't help but gaze at the love of her life, wondering what he had looked like as a baby. Given how big Shingen was, she was confident he was the chubbiest of babies. A thought that made her cheeks flush as she smiled, the thought of having a chubby baby just made her happy.

Of course, Shingen had similar thoughts, especially when they walked through the Castel town and the children would recognize his goddess. The way they get so excited, wanting nothing more than to play and talk with the woman he loved. Sometimes he found himself daydreaming, wondering when the day would come that he'd be looking up from his desk to find his dear wife nurse the fruit of their labors. He's already worked out a few designs for some baby furniture, wanting to make it himself so he knew it was made right. He and his wife had discussed the baby furniture of the future before, the things she described gave him a lot of inspiration. "He's quite small, I was almost afraid to hold him at first." Shingen chuckled, resting the little boy on his leg and gently bouncing him. The large man couldn't help but chuckle as the little boy squealed happily, tiny hands gripping Shingen's sleeves as he bounced comfortably. "i know, it's been so long since I last babysat. When I first saw him, I was almost surprised he wasn't smaller, I forget sometimes they aren't as small as dolls." She giggled, reaching over to gently brush her hand against the thin layer of hair on the little boy's head affectionately. "Perhaps it's my height, but all babies seem absolutely tiny to me." Shingen chuckled, watching her give the boy some affection as she ate. "Probably, you are bigger than most other grown men so I can only imagine how little he must look to you." She giggled, putting down her skewer as she moved closer to Shingen and leaned into his side. She wrapped her arms around one of his, her head resting on his shoulder as she closed her eyes with a soft smile. Shingen could only chuckle, the little boy leaning back against his chest as he seemed to finally tucker himself out. "Now that's a good idea…" Shingen's low voice rumbled in his chest as he spoke softly, gently shifting the little boy to rest in his arm. "Since you finished your snack, why not come here and join me for a nap. The weather is wonderful." Shingen opened his arm, leaning back against the wall as his dear wife smiled at him and shook her head in mock-shame. "I suppose a nap won't hurt." She moved closer to him, slipping under his arm now and snuggled into him as she rested her head on his chest. Shingen had the boy cradled on his lap, leaning against his torso comfortably. It didn't take long for (Y/n) to sleep, Shingen had stayed awake a bit longer though. He wanted to enjoy the sight of holding his lover like this, looking down on the boy and that was how he KNEW it was about damn time he spoke to his wife about starting their family.

Kanetsugu

Kanetsugu stood speaking before a crowd of other vassals, it was a pretty standard meeting so why were these men staring at the man of the house? Because sat on his hip as he spoke was a 3-year-old girl, she was awake but quite content with the gentle bouncing and the sound of Kanetsugu's voice. His wife had to run into town to buy some stuff, so he had offered to watch the little girl since he had nothing to do after this meeting was over with. The little girl had been absolutely smitten with Kanetsugu, lighting up every time she saw him in a way similar to how his wife seemed to brighten whenever he'd come home at the end of the day. It made Kanetsugu chuckle whenever he saw it, this little girl reminded him of both his wife and his younger siblings. He took great part in raising his siblings, he remembered when they were all little like this and those memories were quite dear to him. At the end of the meeting Kanetsugu made his way to the kitchen, paying no mind to the odd stares he got and the whispers that followed him down the hall. He wanted to get the little girl a snack, so he planned to fix her some peaches since they were soft and easy to eat. On his way there he noticed his lover on her way down the hall. She was coming from the direction of their room, meaning she had dropped off her shopping. The young woman's face lit up; he couldn't help but give a slight smile at how she rushed up to him with her own wide grin. "I take it the meeting is over? Thanks for watching her while I ran into town." (y/n) smiled, reaching out to playfully poke the little girl's side and listen to her giggle. They exchanged the little girl, who had smuggled into (Y/n)'s chest. No doubt the woman was a bit more comfortable to lay on, for obvious reasons. "I was on my way to the kitchen to get her a snack, so it's perfect timing on your part. It'll be easier than cutting a peach one handed." He gently took her hand, since getting married, he had begun doing this any time they were together. She was his wife, something he was proud of and more than willing to display. "Food sounds good, lunch should be coming round soon. So hopefully she'll be done eating before then and we can eat without too much trouble." (Y/n) smiled up at Kanetsugu, the little girl resting on her arm and curled against her chest. She was sucking on her thumb, content with the steady sway of the woman's walk cycle.

"Maybe if we're lucky we can put her down for a nap after her snack, she hasn't had one today yet so it's about that time anyways." Kanetsugu lead his lover to the kitchen, his free hand running through his own hair as he found his gaze wandering away from the sky as he took in the sight of his lover with her friend's baby. It was such a domestic sight, something that made an odd feeling stir in him. He had never actually thought about it in depth, he knew he wanted a family, but he had never put a whole lot of thought into it. But confronted with the glimpse before him, it was like something was stirring awake. He no longer just wanted a family with her, he needed one. The thought of having evidence of their love made his heart speed up, a sort of primal shift growing inside of him at the thought of her having his child. It wasn't just animalistic desire though; his protective instinct was starting to twitch awake. To have a family with his wife, that would truly be his peace. It was like a new goal came into focus; one he couldn't wait to discuss with her later once the little girl had gone home with her mother for the night. So, for now he had to settle for gently squeezing her hand, giving her a fond gaze as he watched her talk about her experience at the market. When her gaze suddenly caught his, he leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. Leaving her flustered as he released her hand and stepped through the threshold and into the kitchen. She stood at the doorway, watching him with curiosity as she failed to fight the love-struck smile that crossed her face when watching the man, she loved prepare food for the little girl in their care.

Motonari

Motonari watched his wife with a grumpy pout, on her lap was a 4-year-old that had proven to be the bane of this man's existence. This little boy would not accept anyone but her, and God forbid Motonari be allowed to hug or touch his wife. The boy didn't throw a hissy fit, oh no, worse yet the little boy would hold his palm out to Motonari with a firm but docile "No." With the most expressionless stare Motonari has seen in his life, he hadn't been able to so much as hug his wife with this little boy around. The kid refused to be held by anyone else, he was always giving Motonari such a blank faced stare and it never failed to make the man laugh out of mild frustration. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. He was competing with a kid for his wife, and it wasn't even his kid. At the end of the day, this kid goes home with someone else, so there is NO competition. Each time Motonari reminded himself of this, rolling his eyes at the jealous side that was near desperate to hold her hand. Though there was some odd part of him that was satisfied with watching his wife interact with this little boy, even when he was fussy, she was calm as can be when handling him. Plus, there was the pride he took in having a wife so loved by so many people, she was the prize jewel out of all his treasures. Currently the two were waiting for the little boy's aunt, (Y/n)'s friend, to come and pick up the little boy for the night. The sun was an hour or two from setting, and he was doing his best to be patient as he had a staring contest with the little boy. At least until the child reached out to him, making a grabby motion that had (Y/n) lighting up. "Aw, he wants you to hold him!" She was excited, moving closer to Motonari, who for just a moment was panicking, he did not have a plan for this particular option. So he had let his wife lead him into holding the little boy on his lap, the boy sat with his back to Motonari's chest. His little head was leaned back on Motonari's collarbone, he still had one hand holding onto (Y/n)'s finger so she had to sit against Motonari's side. Seizing his chance, he slid his free arm around her waist as his other was draped over the boy's stomach to keep him steady.

"I guess you respecting his boundaries earned his trust, that's so sweet." She smiled brightly, nuzzling Motonari's shoulder in a way that never ceased to make him melt inside. This was a situation he had never imagined in his life, the male having never actually thought about having kids of his own. Sure, he knew kids existed, but he never thought about HIS kids existing. This whole situation felt so surreal, looking down at his lover and this child no longer felt real. All of a sudden it felt dreamlike, as if he was discovering something for the first time. A wide array of emotions overwhelmed him, from a strange anxiety to what could only be described as an intense contentment. He had come a long way from the person he was when he and his wife first met, but even still to have such a large discovery out of nowhere was almost startling. He hadn't felt like this since he first realized he truly loved his wife; it was a feeling that could be described with the word emotion. It was so much at once, and yet he felt calm in an odd way. His face was flaming, silently staring at his lover as he processed everything. Of course she had noticed his stare, she had trying speaking to him, but he never responded and now she was simply flustered by the look he was giving her. It was almost innocent, the flustered look mixed with confusion and surprise. Leaning forward she placed a gentle kiss to the tip of his nose, suddenly bursting the bubble he had previously been absorbed in. It took every ounce of self-control in him not to jump, he had already embarrassed himself enough today. The hand that had been around her waist came up, pulling her close and tucking her head into the crook of his neck as he tried to hide his flustered state. These new realizations had him feeling energized in an odd way, he simply had to have her close right now. He knew the look on his face was probably quite out of character for him, and he was embarrassed to admit how little control he actually had over his current behavior. He wanted to hide his emotional state, and what better way to do that then basking in the affection and the touch of his wife that he had wanted all day. Once the boy was returned, he planned to spend the rest of the day and night with his wife in their room. He wanted only her presence, only her voice and scent. Only her.

Masamune

(Y/n) currently sat at a banquet between her boss Nobunaga and her lover Masamune, across from her was Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi. Meanwhile in her lap was a 1-one-year old little girl, the niece of a friend that was taking care of her sister until the woman's husband got home from work. Because of that (Y/n) had brought the baby to the banquet, it was fairly late, and the baby was full from where (Y/n) had taken the baby home long enough to eat and give the mom a chance to see her. The little girl had been quite content after eating, and so now she was happily babbling away at Keiji while Masamune fed his wife a bit of rice. "I shouldn't be surprised you volunteered for such a task; you always do manage to find the most amusing situations." Mitsuhide chuckled from across the woman, drinking some sake and letting a servant refill it. "She was a little fussy at first, but once she got comfortable with us it got a bit easier. Her aunt should be back to get her soon. She's just waiting for the woman's husband to come home to take care of his wife." Masamune chuckled, sitting close to his lover's side as he'd raise bites for her to take and fed her her meal before he had even touched his. He had spent most the day doing paperwork, which left (Y/n) to bear the brunt of the child's care. He wanted to give her a small break and help out now that he wasn't busy, plus he had been wanting to give her some love all day. She was just too cute, playing with and fawning over the baby girl currently in her arms. Looking at the little girl he could admit she was cute, but he just knew their baby would be even cuter. If he had a little girl that looked just like his wife, he'd be over the moon. In truth he wanted a larger family, something he and his lover had discussed many times. They want quite a few children; they hadn't really been trying for kids as of late but also hadn't been avoiding it either. But today made him feel it was time, seeing the way she cared for the little girl, even when she screamed and cried, had reaffirmed in him that they could do this, and it was about time to take the first steps officially.

Once his wife had finished her food he had set the chopsticks down, using one hand to hold one of her own as the other brought his cup of tea up to his lips so he could take a sip. "It seems so natural; I was worried you'd struggle with her when I first saw you in the halls this morning. But you seem to have everything under control." Hideyoshi smiled, taking a bite of some roasted vegetables while observing the baby girl in his friend's lap. Despite all the noise she almost seemed ready to fall asleep, the group laughing at how her tiny head bobbed before she finally gave up and completely rested across the woman's lap as her haori functioned as a makeshift cover. "I won't lie it was hard to be calm sometimes, but I eventually found a good rhythm for cycling through what she wanted or needed until I could find what I needed. Then it just kinda got easier to tell what she was wanting, plus after visiting her mom to drink her fill she's been quite content and a lot less fussy." (Y/n) giggled, gently rubbing the baby's stomach with her free hand. She watched the baby sleep with a fond gaze, her mind wandering to places that her observant friends could easily predict. For Nobunaga, Mitsuhide, and Hideyoshi; it was the same look Masamune got any time they noticed him watching her interact with the little girl. Oh yes, they knew it was only a matter of time before they had children running about the castle whenever the pair would come to visit from Aoba. "Well, at least you'll have practice for when you and Lord Masamune have a child. It'll be quite the sight to see." Mitsunari spoke openly with a fond smile on his face, and as flustered as it made her, (Y/n) couldn't fight the smile she felt forming on her face. She'd be lying if she said taking care of the little girl made her wonder how things would be when they DID have their own child, she'd love to have a little boy that looked just like her husband. Though she had known for a while she wants more than one child, as aware as she is of what childbirth is like in this era she wouldn't miss the chance to have the family she desires with the man she loves. "You guys will be the first we tell when I fall pregnant, I promise Mitsunari." She giggled some, at least until she felt Masamune's arm wrap around her waist. "It'll be more than that, we'll be staying here during your pregnancy that way I can be sure of your safety. Plus, Ieyasu will be a boon to have on standby." The blonde let out an indignant snort but said nothing back. The fussy blonde being surprisingly quiet about Masamune's desire to have him care for Hime in such a state, and none of the other warlords seemed bothered at the idea of a pregnant woman waddling around the castle. Something that both embarrassed (Y/n) and made her feel overjoyed, as she knew she had everyone's support when it came time for this new step in her life.

Kenshin

Everyone stared intently at the trio during a war council, sitting in his usual place was Kenshin. And as per usual, he was the one making a scene. In his lap sat his wife, odd but not entirely unexpected. And then on her lap was a little boy, a 4-year-old she had volunteered to watch during the day for her friend who was caring for an ill family member. The group had been stuck at the hip since the little boy's arrival, though at first Kenshin had been a little jealous and that had been why he was being more openly affectionate than usual. But it was less than 2 hours before his reasoning shifted, some part of him deeply enjoyed watching his wife happily interact with the child. He had thought about having a family with her for many years, even before they had married. Though he had yet to put his desires into words, he didn't want to pressure her and had originally decided he'd just wait for her to approach him when she was ready. But now, while Kanetsugu went over his report for his recent observation mission, Kenshin wanted nothing more than a way to bring up his desires without pressuring his love. Starting a family was a big deal after all, he didn't want her to force herself into something she isn't ready for just to try and please him. Kenshin was staring off into the distance, his chin resting on the top of his lover's head while the little boy in her lap played with a stuffed animal. His vassals watched, absolutely astonished. Even Shingen was quite intrigued with his friend's behavior, meanwhile Kanetsugu could feel his eye twitching as he figured out long ago his Lord was barely listening, and they'd probably have to talk about this again later. Of course (Y/n) wasn't dumb, she could tell what everyone was thinking, and she did kind of feel bad for Kanetsugu. Before Kanetsugu left for his mission Kenshin had the Fearsome God of war, when he returned however he was Kenshin Lord of the bunnies. Sure, he still went to war, but he had changed in many ways. Kanetsugu could recognize the good, but he often found himself surprised at how (Y/n) brought out a childlike behavior in Kenshin.

Sometimes it made Kanetsugu want to laugh, but when his Lord is just blank face no thought staring at him in the middle of a war council, he wanted to throw something. Not that he actually would. He tried to soothe himself by observing his Lord's situation while he spoke, knowing that at least Shingen, Yukimura and Sasuke were listening. From the outside, you'd almost think they were a family. A thought that did calm the white-haired male's irritation, his Lord seemed so content. Kenshin was always quite happy when he had (Y/n) in his lap, but the addition of the child seemed to bring something out of the male. Kanetsugu didn't miss how his lord had gently pulled his wife closer, the blonde man's hand occasionally coming up to pet the little boy on the head absent mindedly. It only further reassured Kanetsugu's expectation that this is likely going to be the future, he wasn't quite sure how he was gonna handle this, but he was sure it was going to involve late night drinks with a recap of the war council. By the time Kanetsugu had come to this conclusion he had finished his explanation of the survey he had been sent on, and as he stepped back to return to his previous seat Kenshin seemed to realize that everything was over. On the outside Kenshin seemed somewhat normal, but Kanetsugu could see the slight surprise in his lord's features upon realizing he had missed the entire council. "I see, I do have a few questions, but we can discuss those later. Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?" Kenshin gazed around the room, wanting to make sure there wasn't anything left to discuss before he dismissed the meeting. When it was concluded that there was nothing else to talk about, Kenshin released everyone to go back to their daily duties. "It's almost time for lunch Kenshin, did you want to go out to eat? The weather has been nice the past few days." (Y/n) smiled, leaning back so that she rested against his chest. Her head leaned back against his shoulder, and she pressed a kiss to his cheek with a warm smile. After the door had been closed and everyone left, she let the little boy up so that he could explore the room a bit. Where the two adults sat, they could see every corner of the room and could easily monitor him. "Sure, we can make a date of it. The little one won't notice, and we can stop by a tea house for dessert after if you want." Though Kenshin didn't really like sweets, he still enjoyed the tea house atmosphere while he watched her enjoy her desserts. "You know me too well." She giggled, pressing another kiss to his cheek as they spent a few quiet moments in each other's arms. Watching over the little boy in front of them, both having only the thought of discussing family with each other at the end of the night.

Need A Hand?

I’m not sure if this is canon for both Ikesen!Amaryllis and Ikesen!Morgan. But just wanted to make a little scenario

@welp-back-on-my-bs up to you if you want this to be canon or not

This takes place before Morgon first kill

TW: blood🩸

“Shoot…” Morgan stuttered the moment they were surrounded by enemies of Oda.

“You will tell us everything about Nobunaga!” One of them spoke with hostility.

Despite the situation present in front of them, Morgan hasn’t drawn their blade. The feeling of killing someone is one they don’t want to do, before something white went by. Something struck at one of the men.

“AGH!”

“Show yourselves whoever you are!” The rest now in formation to be prepare of the incoming attack.

“Morgan, you should know very well this is the chance to draw it.” A voice from the surrounding forest spoke.

“!”

Morgan snapping out and soon draw their blade after hearing that familiar voice.

“They can’t even- HUH!?” One of them turned around before being sliced by their blade.

The rest of the men now focus on Morgan who is now wielding their sword with determination in their eyes. Before any of them could strike them, Amaryllis came in and jump onto one of the men’s back.

“Thought you might need some help dealing with them, Morgon.” Amaryllis stated after making her entrance to the battle.

“You always have my back Ama, just like I have yours.” As the two siblings now back to back fighting like they been together since birth.

The sound of pain and metal echos in the forest that is bathe in moonlight. After that fight, Morgan came back to their senses. Realizing what they did, they murdered them with their own hands.

“I- I killed them Ama…”

Amaryllis who was flicking the blood off of her blade spoke, “The guilt of taking a life for the first time is hard. But understand that the world around us is full of war, it is kill or be killed, Morgan.”

“I-”

“Let’s get going. Hideyoshi is probably worried about us as it is already dark-”

Morgon cutting off Amaryllis to say something, “Ama wait… there are footsteps coming closer and the sound of it are…”

“There are more of them coming to our way. They must have known that we are close, if not the inner circle of the Oda Forces.” Amaryllis now drawing her blade to fight against the incoming enemy.

“If you don’t want to fight let me deal with them-“

“No. I will be fine… I just have to confront this.” Morgan still shaking still tired to be calm despite the inner turmoil they are having right now.

As the new round of enemies approaches, both of them are in their stance ready to fight for their lives and love ones.

Fun facts abt residents according to Ikevamp Radio (ヴァンなま) Part 4

Let's go with episodes 11 & 12!! Only 2 episodes since one was a bit longer. Anyways, LET'S GOOO!!!

Episode 11: Back in the studio w/Vincent & Sebas!!

Vincent sees Sebas singing “Can you celebrate?” a song by Amuro Namie, so he knows the song from the future

Vincent can’t get Sebas to pay attention to him, Sebas keeps singing until Vincent gives him a flick on the forehead

Vincent thinks Sebas is bored as he has created many lines & scenarios for both him and Vincent (flashback to episode 10) Sebas says that “Time is something you make for yourself”

They talk about June brides and wedding for a bit (not my fav episode tbh)

Sebas teaches Vincent the lyrics of “Can you celebrate?” (they sing the song together)

Morishi and Makki call Issac cute (this was when Isaac’s route was released in jp)

For the “Can you tell me… your name?” it was a bit different than usual. There were 4 options to choose from instead of 3, and the fourth was a line that combined the previous three statements into one. For example, Vincent’s provided lines were 1. “Don’t worry, I’ll be here until the morning” 2. “You can depend on me today, okay?” 3. “Pain, pain, go away” 4. A combination of the three.

The audience voted on option 4, so he had to say “(Y/n), depend on me til morning and then go away” or some other weird version. He picked and chose words from each line & rearranged them w/weird grammar (which I’m sure that was NOT what he was supposed to do but it’s funny so…)

Sebas’s chosen line was a combination of “Don’t worry. I will do my best to help you with your recovery” “It’s painful, right? You can depend on me until you recover” and “Do you want to wrap green leeks around your neck? It’ll lower your temperature”

So his finalized line was something along the lines of  “(Y/n). Don’t worry, for now, do you want to wrap green leeks around your neck?” & other variations (he always had some part w/green leeks) It doesn’t make sense but it’s hilarious

Afterwards, Makki was like “More people were being wrapped around by leeks than I’d imagined… haha”

Episode 12: feat. Ikesen Sasuke’s VA Akabane Kenji

Ikesen x Ikevamp Radio Collab!!!!

(I used to play Ikesen but wasn’t as obsessed so I’m not as familiar w it as I am w ikevamp)

Everyone is so chaotic in the intros & throughout (Akabane & Morishi just feed on each other’s energy and Makki’s like “Sorry—hahaha—I can’t follow… haha” ←he’s dying of laughter)

Even Makki was like “I’ve been thinking… Morishi and Akabane-san give off the same vibe” Akabane: “It’s true that our tastes are overlapping right now, but when I first met Morishi, he wasn’t like this. Now… he turned out like this.” Morishi: “Like what?” (offended)

They did a new section called “You’re a producer! Self-judge!” (nvm it's not a new section, they do it on ikesen radio but not on ikevamp) where the audience will think of lines that Sasuke will say if he was a vampire & if Vincent and Sebas are Sengoku-era warlords. The presented lines will be said by their respective voice actors

Sasuke’s line was “As research, can you let me have your blood? ��� That was a lie. I want it because it’s yours… So, can I?” 

Vincent’s line is “When I spend time with you, I forget that it is a time of war right now. Ah, I need to go. Please don’t be so worried. I promise I’ll be back to you, so believe in me.” Akabane says that his line is similar to what Mitsunari would say

Sebas’s line is “Aaasasaasasaassu! Aaasasaasasaassu! Aaasas…!? Yes? What am I doing? … I’ll be heading to enemy headquarters, so I was energizing myself. Is something wrong?” LMAO as soon as the words showed up on the screen everyone started laughing. Akabane was like “Is ‘Aaasasaasasaassu!’ something Sebastian would say?”  Morishi: “That, Sebastian doesn’t say that. That’s something Morishima would say” HAHAHA

“Aaasasaasasaassu” according to Morishi, is a spell that is shortened from “Arigatou/Azassu!” (thank you). When you say this while pulling for gacha, you get good cards (we need to all try it)

“I love yu” skit w/Sebas, Vincent, and Sasuke!! Sebas and Vincent are relaxing in the thermae when Vincent discovers something coming from the water. Sebas describes it as “something that ninjas use to breathe when they dive into lakes.”

Vincent doesn’t know what a ninja is. Sebas explains what it is to Vincent. Vincent thinks ninjas sound cool

Sasuke pops out from the water, explaining that he came from experimenting with another wormhole. He introduces himself to the two residents, saying that he came from the Sengoku era, saw a rift in time and space, and ended up there, in another timeline.

Sebas, the history nerd, says “Sengoku era? So that means in that era, there are Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, & etc.” Sasuke: “Yes, of course. Also, Uesugi Kenshin is my boss” Sebas: “Please. I would like to hear the details. Please, take a seat. I am the butler of this mansion, Sebastian”

Sasuke: “Thank you for the welcoming atmosphere. I guess until the next wormhole appears, I will relax here… Just call me Sasuke.”

Sasuke enters the bath in his clothes, Vincent asks if he doesn’t need to strip. Sasuke: “Well, I don’t know when the next wormhole will appear.”

Sebas: “I had felt this since the beginning, but you give off a similar energy to me.” Sasuke: “What a coincidence. I feel that as well.” Sebas: “Dyun…gyun” Sasuke: “Zuban, zuban!”

The two repeat the phrases, each one becoming more dramatic than the previous, until Vincent stops them bc they’re “leaving him behind”

Vincent finally introduces himself to Sasuke, who gets excited that “he can meet another genius other than the Sengoku warlords” Sasuke: “If I were to describe this feeling, it would be… choberigu (チョベリグ, slang meaning extremely very good)” Sebas: “Our Master Vincent is gekimabu (激マブ, slang meaning very bright), isn't he?” 

Vincent: “Choberigu? Gekimabu?” Sasuke: “Yes, he’s gekimabu. So I was right. I feel a same energy off of you”

Sasuke gives them makibishi (caltrop) as a token of appreciation. Vincent is in awe of the caltrops, and Sasuke is happy that someone appreciates his caltrops. Says how Masamune doesn’t need it, proves how angelic Vincent actually is

Vincent: “Next time I see Will, maybe I should throw them to him?” (I LEGIT SPAT OUT MY DRINK) Sebas: “... He will be extremely sad, so maybe not.”

Vincent thought that it was cool that Sasuke had a cool nickname “Shippujinrai” so he tries to think of one for Sebas. Sebas: “to be given a nickname from two people I admire… it makes me feel embarrassed” 

Vincent: “Perverted butler!” LMAO IT’S CANON SEBAS IS A PERVERT

Sebas: coughs  “‘Perverted butler…’ while it is not incorrect, it may be weird to say that to myself. ‘Perverted butler, Sebastian.’ Can you say that?”

Sasuke: “I think it sounds pretty good… What about ‘three meals a day?’” Sebas: “That’s just a routine” Vincent: “I got it! ‘Versatile butler’”

Sebas: “‘Versatile butler’ I like it. Versatile butler, Sebastian.”

Sebas: “Master Vincent would be ‘Innocent Angel’” Sasuke: “No, he would be ‘innocent’ (天真爛漫, it means the same thing, just worded differently)” Vincent: “Hmmm… I want something that’s cooler…”

Sebas: “He may look like that, but Master Vincent’s strong in a fight, so maybe ‘Ready to fight (喧嘩上等 means they’ll take on any fight challenged)” Vincent: “Isn’t that a bit dangerous?” 

Sasuke and Sebas try to get Vincent to say it. Vincent: “Ready to fight, Vincent van Gogh! It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Sebas praises Vincent, saying he did a great job

Then a whirlpool forms in the waters, a wormhole, Sasuke gets ready to travel through space-time. Sasuke promises that they’ll probably be able to meet again

Akabane was surprised to see that the characters were naked and said “Ohh, so Shiro-sensei (the artist for Ikesen and Ikevamp) is the type to draw nipples”

So in the “van Gogh’s drawing section” Sasuke participated w/Sebas & Vincent. The theme was “Hollywood movie ‘Sengoku warlords vs Vampire’” and Akabane’s art was good? Like you can tell he drew Napoleon and Nobunaga. Makki’s one had a certain electric-type mouse Pokemon on the lower right side of his piece haha

In the segment, “Dyun, zuban… Your name…” (It’s basically “Can you tell me… your name?” but combining the two versions) Vincent’s chosen line was a combination of the lines “You’re gonna get wet. Come here” “You’re wet… Here, take my jacket” “I want to stay here until it stops raining”

He would say most lines properly, but some were weird like “Let’s get… wet together” (not in THAT way) or “The rain got wet, huh? Get closer and wear it” (literally it doesn’t make sense even in Japanese since the grammar was so weird, he just picked and choose words from each line)

Sebas’s line was a combination of “If you want to, do you want to do an aiaigasa (相合傘) with me?” “Come closer so you don’t get wet” “Don’t your joints hurt when it rains?”

“If you want… don’t your joints hurt?” “To not get wet, do you want to… do your joints hurt?” He always puts the “joint blah blah” line at the end it's so funny. There was also “Yoshihiko, do you want to do an aiaigasa? To not get wet, don’t your joints hurt?”

Sasuke’s lines were the combination of “... I’m worried about my caltrops. Sorry, lemme go get them~” “I had the caltrops out to dry but it’s all ruined…” “Are the caltrops okay… Caltrops…”

His was funny bc he would replace the caltrops w/the names so it would be like “I’m worried about (y/n)” “I had (y/n) to dry but… I have to go back” “(y/n)... It’s now all ruined…”

OVERALL, amazing collab I hope they did more but I only have 3 more episodes to watch, and sadly, none of the rest are ikesen/ikevamp collabs

[daeva-agas]

I haven’t drawn “inserting history facts into [fandom] context” silly comics in a while, I think. Unless the monkey lucky charm one counts. 

“Actual history” (or, at least the data we have as of now) being wildly different from Ikesen makes for very very funny scenarios if you import them in. 

This particular letter that I based this exchange from is extra funny because:

1) You have “pirates” (the Mouri) whining about there being other pirates

2) The person who shared the letter’s content said Hideyoshi kind of sounded prickly in it (and that Nobunaga was much nicer LOL) 

Ikesen-Hideyoshi actually does still talk like a thug every now and then, in the JP app. He doesn’t do this in Eng, I think, he just talks normally the whole time. I don’t think he even talks like a thug back when he was still a thug, in the flashback in his route? I forgot, LOL. 

So, the real history trivia. Somewhere in like... 1568-1570 or so (because Motonari is still alive), there were “pirates” in the Tanba area, which are hindering the Mouri’s activities. Since that area was “sort of” Oda territory, they sent messengers to Nobunaga about it. 

It’s just that the Oda were only given authority as they were in favour with the shogun, so they can’t just walk in there and kick out the pirates. They had to ask for permit from the shogun first (it’s Yoshiaki, which makes everything even funnier in Ikesen terms). 

In addition to other war stuff they were tangled up in, it sounds like the Mouri were, you know, a bit anxious for updates and Hideyoshi was responding saying “everything is fine (it’s actually not fine), we’ll get to it soon”.

Hideyoshi was the contact person to talk with the Mouri, but the people Hide talks to is actually the senior vassals and Motonari’s sons, and the one talking directly to Motonari far as I can tell was Nobu himself, but you know. Funnier to just have him yell at Motonari in the drawing. 

[ikeromantic]

Hii! I don't know if you can write this request or not but I would like to request for ikepri maybe clavis/ ikerev Kyle/ ikesen yuki / ikevamp who idk(?) (you can choose whoever you want that you think suit for this request). I don't know how to elaborate it but it's kind of like yk when a guy friends thought you were someone who just don't like women/ the type that will not sleep with the same women but then they saw a woman got out of your room maybe disheveled and they're low-key shocked,, that's the type of requests I would like for you to do lol (but you can change it the scenario if you want). They tried to investigate your movements with the mc and what's your relationship with her and all they heard after was a moan, scream and slashing sounds. Oop maybe it's too.. They all thought they heard wrong but it happens again and one day they saw them coddle each other in the kitchen, so touchy and kissy too until they saw the suitors hand goes down and they scream. That's all I've got lol. A little smut maybe if you wrote it. Depends on you my love ≧ω≦

I hope you don't mind, I went with IkeRev's Kyle on this one. I don't get too many asks for Ikemen Revolution and I do so love those characters. Here's Approx. 1100 words on Kyle and Alice in an unexpected tryst. Mostly fluff!

Edgar made his way through the halls of the Red Army headquarters with a jaunty step. His intentionally discordant whistling stopped as he passed the infirmary. Not out of concern that he might annoy some sick patient - no. Rather because he heard the most unexpected sound. A soft, feminine moan.

The sound might have been for pain but there was something about it that pricked at his ears. He paused, and listened. After a moment, he heard a sharp intake of breath. A gasp. And the squeak of a cot. 

Curious, and feeling more than a little wicked, Edgar tried to open the door to surprise his friend Kyle. He couldn’t believe the drunk doctor was doing what it sounded like he was doing in there, and he had to find out who he was doing it with.

The handle jiggled in his grip, locked. Then, just as he was about to pull out a lockpick, the door swung open.

Edgar inspected Kyle with a sweeping gaze, but it was impossible to tell if this version of disheveled and grumpy was anything different than his usual look. His gaze moved past the doctor and into the room beyond. Alice was there, sitting on a stool, book in hand.

“What is it?” Kyle regarded him with a bored expression.

“I see Alice is assisting you?”

Kyle nodded. 

“And you find her assistance . . . satisfying?” Edgar raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

“Sure. She’s still learning, but she tries.” He shrugged. “Anyway, did you need something?”

Edgar shook his head. “No, no. I was just stopping by to say hello.”

“Alright.” Kyle gave another noncommittal shrug. “I’m going out.”

Alice hopped up from the stool. “Oh, can I come too?”

“Yeah.” The doctor still looked and sounded bored.

Edgar eyed her. Her clothes were a little rumpled but that could be from sitting. He decided he must have misheard whatever it was he heard. There was no way these two could have been doing anything interesting. “Well, have fun I guess. Good to see you. And you, Alice.”

He left, forgetting entirely about it until later that day when Jonah mentioned how much time Alice was spending in the infirmary. “Oh, yes, it’s unexpected. Kyle taking in interest in a girl,” Edgar grinned.

“I’m sure it’s not like that.” Jonah gave him a prim frown. “He never notices pretty girls. Not that I find Alice pretty. It’s just, she’s a girl. Stop smiling at me like that.”

Edgar chuckled. “Well, pretty or not you’ll never guess what I thought I heard.” He related the story to Jonah with just a little embellishment, enjoying the way the Red Queen’s eyebrows rose and the stain of his pink cheeks.

“You can’t be serious!” Jonah looked lost somewhere between disbelief and outrage. 

“Well, there’s only one way to be sure.”

“What’s that?” 

Edgar’s expression went deadly serious. “We have to spy on them.” Inside, he was laughing. Afterall, there was no way Kyle and Alice actually did anything. No way at all. But spinning Jonah up was a joy.

The two of them set about keeping an eye on Kyle.

Edgar hadn’t actually spent much time on his Kyle-project, but apparently Jonah was on task. He showed up in Edgar’s office, high color in his cheeks, eyebrows so high they almost touched his hairline. 

“Disgusting. Just disgusting.” Jonah took a breath, trying to calm himself down. “I . . . I heard them.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

The Red Queen gave a curt nod. “I saw them disappear into one of the little-used storage rooms and then,” his voice dropped, “there were noises.”

Edgar kept his grin to himself as best he could, nodding seriously. “I see. Yes. Disgusting noises, I assume?” He popped a brightly colored candy into his mouth.

“Yes. Heavy breathing and - and Alice was . . .” his lips firmed to a thin, pale line. “She was moaning!”

“So you heard the noises. Did you open the door?”

“No! Of course not. I left. I shouldn’t be exposed to that sort of behavior.” He shook his head. 

“And you’re positive it couldn’t have been anything else? Moving crates maybe? The work made them breathe heavily and then Alice might have stubbed a toe and moaned in pain?”

Jonah frowned. “No. I - I am quite sure -”

“Because you listen at the door while people do things all the time?” Edgar waggled his eyebrows.

“No!”

Edgar nodded. “So it is possible you misheard. Hm.” He still couldn’t believe Kyle would ever touch a woman, except perhaps to lift a bottle of alcohol off her, or to save her life. He just wasn’t the kind of guy to have a girlfriend. 

Jonah looked, if anything, even more outraged. “I know what I heard! The real question is what we will do about it. Alice can’t be allowed to be - to be taken advantage of! We are supposed to be keeping her safe - not - not what Kyle is doing.”

“Is that so? What do you propose?”

“I . . . I don’t know. Perhaps I can occupy her elsewhere so Kyle doesn’t have the opportunity to get her alone.” Jonah pouted. “That drunken doctor is always causing problems.”

They planned a little while longer, and then Jonah left looking somewhat mollified. Edgar was completely amused by how seriously the Queen was taking this. But Edgar was sure there was no substance to it. He knew Kyle and he was familiar with girls like Alice - too sweet and innocent to be interested in adult activities. 

Edgar headed to the kitchen, feeling a bit peckish. He wanted a snack before settling in to read some reports on the disappearance of a shipment of magic crystals. That was quite concerning, but less fun than the made up drama of Kyle and Alice. He wondered how long it would take Jonah to figure out the whole thing was a -

The Jack stopped in the kitchen doorway, eyes going wide. An unexpected sight met his unblinking gaze. Alice perched on a countertop, her head thrown back, eyes shut. Kyle was in front of her, his hands lifting her skirt, his lips on her thigh and moving higher with each kiss. 

“K-kyle, that tickles! Ohhhhh!” Alice squealed.

“Does it tickle now?” Kyle’s lazy smile was a teensy bit wicked. His fingers reached for the edge of Alice’s dainty white panties.

Edgar backed out slowly and silently. It seemed his assumptions were . . . flawed. He swallowed and shook his head. When he turned the hall corner and was finally out of sight, he leaned back against the wall. 

From the kitchen there were more muffled sounds of pleasure. 

It seemed Kyle was every bit the dirty Lothario Jonah suspected. Edgar grinned. He’d have to find a way to tease the doc about this. And Alice too. So many ripe opportunities for fun.

[rinaririr]

Rina, you're doing the OC ask game? :D May I ask 21, 42, D?

Loreiiiii! Hi hi~

I kinda reblogged the post mostly for some ideas to draw some scenarios for Leanna and Leonardo so I didn’t expect an ask 😆 Thank you for asking!

21. Why do they get up in the morning?

Leanna is someone who enjoys the small mundane things in life. Petting Lumiere, drinking a morning coffee with Arthur, playing with Lumiere, chatting about all things painting with Vincent and Theo, snuggling with Lumiere, making Isaac miserable, napping with Lumiere, doing chores while gossiping with Sebastian, etc… are all things she has come to looking forward to every day.

42. How badly do they want to reach their end goal?

Leanna is determined and stubborn: once she sets her mind on something, she’ll do everything to achieve it even if it’s detrimental to her health. In my mind, it’s fun to pair a burnt out workaholic with a “go with the flow,” relaxed person.

D. Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

Leanna has changed over time! She’s a pretty old OC who has grown with me since 9th grade I think?

She’s originally a self-insert for IkeSen, but then kind of develop into like 2 independent OCs who are no longer part of the IkeSen world. I later on revisited her character and redesigned her into her current self (there has been minor changes, but the overall silhouette, style, and characteristics stayed the same).

[not-krys]

1. Introduction (Houki, Abby, Clara)

Totally dropped the ball on August's prompt (in that I completely forgot to do it in favor of doing some art stuff instead), but I did some of the prompt that was meant for August today.

These ideas stem from taking the beginnings of routes and putting my OCs in those meeting scenarios. As such, I guess technically spoilers for route beginnings? I guess? Houki gets IkeSen's prologue with rescuing Nobunaga, plus snippets from her original game's lore; Abby gets the beginning of Vincent's route, and Clara gets the wonderful beginning of Nokto's route.

Other warnings are that this is raw writings, no editing, and cuts off in places, maybe a lil rambl-y in others. Nokto is also a lil shit, but what else is new?

----------

Houki

Houki tried to close her eyes, trying to think this was all just a dream. That she was going to wake up in her room on Vale Island and that Jasper was going to scold her for sleeping in when there were other suitors and activities she needed to participate in, like Cordelia's tea party, or to watch the boat race that was going to happen later today.

Instead, all she could feel was heat and all she could smell was burning wood and smoke.

Had her room caught on fire? It wouldn't surprise her, really, since that incident with the poisoned letter.

But, no, this was certainly not her room. No plush curtains or glass windows in sight. Just burning pillars and the sound of creaking wood, straining under great pressure.

She also wasn't alone in the blazing room.

A man in black armor was laying on the floor, unconscious. In most matters, he seemed a handsome man, black hair to match his armor, a tall frame. A general, perhaps? His face was scowling in his 'rest'. Perhaps he was left to die in the blazing building. Not a comforting thought. Who was this man that would be left to die in such a place?

Going against her better judgment, Houki bent down to shake his shoulders, the crackle of the fire seeming to lick her cheeks.

Fortunately, her trapped companion seemed a light sleeper, as his eyes snapped open immediately, staring at her with bright carnelian eyes, red as the flames surrounding them.

"Who…?" his deep voice started before a pillar fell behind them with a loud crash.

"There's no time!" Houki said, grabbing hold of his hand, "we need to leave!"

The man didn't need to be told twice, standing up with the grace of a hawk taking flight. Houki covered her nose with her sleeve, trying her best to navigate through the blaze, coughing from the smoke. Her eyes were drying and hurting, as were her lungs. It didn't help that she was still recovering from the poisoned letter incident, making her breathing hurt much worse.

Abby

Abby sat on the floor, her back against the wooden door, hugging her knees to her chest. She wiped her eyes and saw the familiar brown coat, much too long and big in the shoulders for her, but the comforting scent of sunshine and fresh laundry eased her racing heart.

She was living in a mansion filled with vampires, as Arthur had made so plain to her. Rattled her with it, even. To make matters worse, when she tried to escape, she ran into two unscrupulous gentlemen. If Vincent hadn't happened by when he did…

She shuddered at the thought. She pulled his jacket closer, taking in more of his scent. The bruise on her wrist throbbed.

'She is a very special guest of this mansion,' she remembered him saying, his voice stern and vaguely threatening 'Touch her again and face the consequences.'

Vincent had been so protective of her, even if they had just met barely hours prior. She felt bad when she had swatted his hand away in her fright. She tried to apologize, but Vincent just smiled gently.

"Ah, it's my fault for trying to touch you without your permission, especially after going through something so scary."

He tried his best to comfort her, telling her that she can talk to Sebastian if she felt more comfortable, since he was still human like her. And, like a spell spoken, Sebastian did appear, taking her off Vincent's hands, helping her to her room. In her stupor, she had forgotten she was still wearing his jacket he had so gently and carefully placed on her shivering shoulders. She promised herself that she would return it in the morning, but would also ask Sebastian how to launder it first, since she was no doubt wrinkling it and staining it with her tears. She didn't want to cause him, or anyone else, any trouble. Especially if everyone else surrounding her was a vampire. Would they eat her if she did something out of turn? Arthur seemed to delight in the idea, especially when she saw the red touches on his starched and white collar.

She pulled the jacket closer, trying her best to hold back a sob. She didn't want to leave, lest she get a repeat of running into Arthur again, or anyone else for that matter.

The scent of Vincent's jacket wafted to her nose again.

Clara

Clara felt like she was going to be sick. Her head pounded something fierce and she was surrounded by silken sheets and scent she normally would have associated with the unsavory parts of town.

Her eyes shot open, the morning light burning her eyes. She closed them again, a pained groan escaping her lips.

"Good morning, my dear." A voice said beside her, soft in delivery but the tone was full of amused mischief.

Her eyes shot open again, taking in the sight of ruby red eyes and a hand with painted black nails reaching for her forehead.

She shot up in the bed, immediately regretting that choice and held her head, her dark hair cascading over her face and shoulders.

"Well, that wasn't very smart of you, now was it?"

Clara gritted her teeth, still holding her head.

"Where… where am I?"

"My bedroom," that voice cooed, "you were so insistent last night, not letting me have a choice. It was quite bold of you, telling a prince you wanted to sleep with him."

"I would never-" her head throbbed, stealing her of her voice, "I wouldn't-"

"And yet, here we are, Belle."

Belle, right… She agreed to that yesterday. She had wanted to get to know the princes. And she had taken Nokto's word that he had sincerely wanted to help her.

This was not the direction she had thought, or hoped, the previous night would take.

She looked down at herself, still thankfully dressed in the fancy underclothes of the dress she had been given to go to that ball with that sleazeball of a prince, but the poofy dress was not on her person, instead laying in a precarious position on the floor. She wished she had the strength to glare at the prince no doubt grinning at her on the bed, but her head barely allowed her the pleasure of concentrating. The room even smelled like stale rose wine, making her stomach turn.

"Ah yes, you should know that you had wine spilled on your dress last night," she could hear the smirk in Nokto's voice, "thus why it's on the floor over there."

"What, I didn't just throw my clothes at you in my lust filled state that you seem to imply I was in?"

"You did try. I just dodged."

A passing thought

I was going to continue my post about how I would react if I were MC in ikesen universe. But something occured to me while I was considering every possible scenarios. Isn't it unnatural for guys with differing personalities and circumstances to fall for the same kind of woman? Shouldn't they have their own preferences when looking for their soulmate? I mean...take this ML opinion to be more clear.

(Source: fiancee's observation log of the self-proclaimed villainess)

It's just unsettling and kinda ominous to see the suitors fall for the same MC even if they have their own route. I just think having one MC for those suitors makes the experience of enjoying the game became less exciting. Especially when the MCs from ikemen series (except ikepri because I never play it) all have similar personalities. It's getting repetitive and I rarely relate with the MCs. So I was wondering is it impossible for the dev to give us more than one MC in a game? Maybe following the example from norn9 ?

I personally think having more than one MC with different personalities can add a touch of more realistic impression to the game. Furthermore, to make MC compatible with ONLY certain suitors and giving different endings based on compatibility can give an element of surprise as well....as long as the dev or the early players didn't spoil too much.

Imagine you pick an MC and you choose a suitor without knowing whether you'll be compatible or not with him and what kind of ending is waiting for you. It will be more unexpected and feels refreshing. It might be a nice change of pace. But the downsides of that are as the following: it will decrease the romance because not all of the suitors can be romanceable and your favorite suitor might not be compatible with your chosen MC. You might only get bad ending with your chosen MC and suitor. But even a bad ending can be a pleasant bittersweet tragic ending that gave more impact if the storyline is delivered well. I don't mind tho. I just want to see something new.

Hello dear how are you these days? I hope everything is well 💕 I love your writing and I would like to (if possible) ask for a little scenario with Ikesen Mitsuhide with a melancholic/homesick (family specially) MC singing and humming the melody of “Summer of Farewell’s” from Satoshi Takabe a music from the soundtrack of From Up On Poppy Hill - Studio Ghibli (bc she connect with the lyrics and it remembers her Dad/Mom that used to watch the movie with her as a kid) while alone in the garden peting Chimaki. Not really agsnt just one of those soft and vulnerable moments yk? She doesn’t regret staying but still sometimes feels “sad” for the people who stayed behind. Anyways just some comfort and domestic moment 🥰💗❤️ Thank you!

This is such a lovely, detailed request anon but I haven't read Mitsuhide and I've actually sort of stopped playing Ikesen all together due to time constraints.

There are a number of other writers who write Sen and would do this justice so feel free to use the same request if you'd like to ask one of them 💜💜💜

And thank you for thinking of me even if I can't fulfill it!

The last lines I've written in years were

'As he gazes upon your form frozen in time, he gains his answer. He learns of something new.

Pain; in it’s most pure form, comes from love lost and to never be had again.' 💀

I'm heavy into Obey Me again. Biggest whore for my men in there smh. I play/played some ikemen. There's a few indie otomes/ dating Sims (Our Life & Cinderella Phenomenon). Mystic Messenger, Amnesia, Hakuoki to name some big ones.

My obsessions RN are OM and JJK. I also like TokyoRev bc ooooff future Mikey god dayum. Gojo loml. I'm delulu for funsieesss.

My best friend is my outlet for scenarios so she helps. I also play Genshin Impact. Rip my wallet!!!

- Angst Anon

I already feel sad reading that, imagining one of my poor blorbos going through it. :( ty for the heart ache lmao 😭

Also gotta cut this bc I got sooooo excited:

I was checking my AO3 statistics just for fun. So fetch some tea and have a seat, darling. I'm gonna ramble a lot!

2020 I was already playing Ikevamp, Ikesen, Ikerev, and Obey Me, but didn't write anything for them. Well, except for that one Obey Me fanfic. I was in the BNHA fandom and wrote lots of fanfics for it. However, most of them were reposts because I had to delete my account from another site. They banned my friend, and they were targeting Kacchako writers, so I saved everything I've ever written and reposted it on AO3 and Wattpad (which meand some of these fanfics aren't from 2020 but from 2018 and 2019). At that time, I was involved in a writing project for Kacchako and one for Ochako, so it helped me to write more.

2021 I didn't post anything on AO3 because I didn't get many views there. Since everything I wrote was in portuguese, and the BNHA fandom that writes and reads in portuguese wasn't really active there. However, I posted 3 fanfics on Wattpad (if you wanna check it out, just know I'm not active there anymore). Three fanfics for a whole year. Ouch.

2022 I wrote... 3 fanfics. Again. I didn't post anything on another site; I just didn't write anything else. I stopped playing Ikevamp after they released Sebastian's route and barely opened Obey Me. So I didn't write anything, even though I read a lot and had some good ideas. It was a weird year for me... I didn't accomplish anything. I could've spent the whole year sleeping, and it would have the same result: nothing. Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound sad! It's just how I feel now that I look back and think about it.

2023 Sometimes I just write like a robot, and when I realize it, there's a whole fanfic ready to be posted. But other times, I struggle, and I spend a whole week writing a small scenario because the words just fly away from my brain, HASIHEUASIEHA. English is not my first language, and I had COVID twice, so my memory is fucked up. It was never good, but it got worse, HASIUEHAS.

These statistics aren't even for the whole year; I started writing again in October! I already had this blog in 2020, but I only reblogged. When I spent the whole year away from everything, I didn't even read here anymore. So I'm really happy and proud of everything I did in 2023! Being active here brought me some good friends (yes, all my mutuals are already my besties, and you can't run away from me! I'll chase you all if you try!) and I'm really glad to be back.

And for 2024, I hope everything gets even better! I wanna try opening requests too, but it's still an idea. I'm not sure if I should and if I'll be able to handle it HASIUHEUSAIHEA. I plan to write more (I have lots of WIPs, HELP AHSEUHSA) and to play the games I liked again (I'm already back at Ikesen!).

Hopefully, we'll all be together this new year too, simping and crying for fictional men 🤍🤍

[syneilesis]

Okay I'm posting this separately from the one I reblogged from @mimi-but-main re Kanetsugu fic theme

I'm also in distress because I am coming up blank with the scenarios in fic. All I have are ✨vibes✨ and apparently that's not enough lmao 😂

I know the theme for the fic – hunger and devotion, hunger as devotion – and I want to write metaphors and imagery under that theme. Kanetsugu has that brutality in him that I'm so glad the route explored. I want to capture that aspect of him and stretch it out further. So this fic is also partially a character study of him. It is going to be dark; it's going to be from his POV. I have, like, a couple of scenes I definitely want to include.

BUT I'VE HIT A ROADBLOCK WHEN IT COMES TO PLOT LOL ah yes my weakness. What would I have them do? lol I'm thinking this fic will be a canon AU in that I'll definitely follow some plot points in the game, but I'll swerve hard at other points (like, I'm going to ignore both endings). But what exactly will be the scenario – that's my most pressing concern right now.

If you want to pitch in I'D BE MOST GRATEFUL. Why is it always ikesen that's giving me a hard time when writing fic? Bookbound just took me a couple of weeks (I was inspired!), whereas the Kicho fic took me four months (I was not). This, I suspect, will take me six or seven months LMAO

Do I have to light another candle in front of my Kanetsugu altar? Because I will.

Help! I have a new fave!!! PLUST's MIKOTO AMAMITSU

Mik's story was so good. Freakin hilarious and cute but also involved sentimental themes and emphasized on not giving up your dreams and aspirations. And how much it's comforting to work on your goals together with your partner/friends.

I love this title. It looks very promising so far. After reading Mikoto, I'd recommend it and the guy to everyone who has a similar taste. I'll list some of my forever favs (from Love 365) below so you'll know what I'm into.

MPD CTY, ASA, FILA, RMD, TLH... and PLUST (safe to add now. I think) So you can predict the themes I like now ;)

It took me 3hrs 47 min to binge Mikoto's story which I managed to do during different hours of the day. Spent about 240 hearts to unlock every heart choice and the SHE plus bonus track.

The art and the OST are gorgeous. I wish there's a steam release where I can buy the whole thing in one package with the OST. The OST is that good. It's so worth the effort (in reading a long story with a slow burn plot.)

(Oh this is a slow burn plot, mind you. And I love the stuff lol) The MC is fair enough. At times I cringed a bit, wondered why she wosn't protest when the guys casually get touchy with her. (Oh she does at times but she could grow more strong).

The fan service thing sounded unrealistic but it was still hilarious and cute. I was laughing falling in love not just with Mikoto but all the guys as a whole. They are all amazing. I think I'm gonna read every route. tho at present I have my eyes set on Mik, Wataru alone.

Guys like Claude aren't my type but I'm curious about him. I think Kotoha is a sweet guy, a tsundere. And Ryogo. Well I love childhood friend trouples so I'm gonna read his MS. He was super sweet in Mik story but the guy who stole the show (when it comes to side characters) was: Zeus.

The ThrOne guys. At first I didn't understand MC's obsession, specifically as they described the group is cold to its fans, but then I understood. That's not the scenario. Zeus has me very fascinated. I'll say I like him already. And his attachment to MC means we MAY get to see sparks flying between him and Mik. (I'd love to see Mik getting jealous haha)

Now I ramble about Mik here: Mikoto is a charmer but he's not overbearing or commanding. I only saw a trace of the pushy guys I played and liked in him. Just a trace. He apologizes when he's wrong. He thanks the MC. He encourages her!?

I expected Mikoto to be like Guy or more like Ikesen Nobunaga (both my faves) but he isn't.

Mik is so refreshing, so chill. Just like TLH Suzu was, captivating, with just one main story! He's blunt but not condescending. He's cheeky but with a sweet awkward side to him. He tries to shoulder his burden alone. The slow reveal of his true personality was a treat. I was rooting for him and MC! There were so many moments: them walking the ramp, rehearsing lines... Watching the show a pop star acted in, with the guy, and sharing a highfive? Haha. That's freakin cute. I love Mik and his Ducky.

So by the End of the SHE I'm super content and looking forward to MC and Mik's budding romance to blossom more. Which I expect to happen in MS 2. And anticipating more of the guys while hoping this title wouldn't take forever to get updated. (Well I understand making games isnt easy. I'm willing to wait tbh. But I see some title updates getting rolled out quickly, so)

Ugh! I went into rant mode there. Will post more content tomorrow. (Not much tho and not many spoilers. Don't wanna hit the game's earnings coz... well that's what I do. Be moderate. I think nicely done posts/shared stuff actually boost sales and earn more fans. THAT is what I try to do on my blog. Share. Share. But be nice.)
