So.... that new Billie Eilish album's got a song 'birds of a feather' which I propose is a shuake song. For your consideration:

code violet annotations chapters 1-2*

what's funny to me about this in retrospect is that at this point in the fic, i had absolutely no plans to make it a royal trio polycule. sumi's feelings were supposed to be unrequited (i even initially had that tag on the fic). but this here actually fixes one of my main issues with sumi and akira's relationship in canon, which is her unequivocal and unquestioning faith in and idolization of akira. here she's willing and able to see past the mask and recognize a flaw in his judgment, and decides to act against his will. this set me up later with a dynamic between them that was already a lot better than it was in canon. but that's enough for now, i'm sure i'll get more into my issues with shusumi and how i changed it in code violet later.

*im including chapters 1-2 together bc in my mind they should be one chapter. i only split it initially bc i thought 15k was too long for a one shot (looking at the later chapters' wc's...HA), but it's really one arc. i'll be combining chapters 3-4 as well for a similar reason- though i wrote the chapters separately, they're both extremely short compared to the rest of the chapters and feel rather inadequate and incomplete on their own. plus, if i do this, then the povs become sumi - goro - sumi - goro - sumi - sumi - akira - goro - goro - sumi - goro - sumi - goro - akira. which i think is super fun for the mirroring and akira getting the 7th and 14th chapter. yeah im autistic why do you ask

(N) POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"..*speech*...... all right rookies line up to get your room key. If you loose it, then well throw you overboard! Hahaha thats all kids" you hear Pops say as your in line, these four guys cut you which you let them, saddened eyes dejected looking down. Little did you care for someone elses eyes on you.

~ After Getting Settled In Your Single Person Room Since Your A Female~

You go out but are pushed/bumped into by the four men.

"Better watch your back if your trying to start a fight missy"

"What he said"

"Yaa!"

"Move it, we have devil fruit powers!"

They all said laughing crowding you.

Thats when it started, the bullying. In the hallway they stopped for now getting bored by your expressionless face.

"Come on shes no fun!"

"Man your right lets go!" The other two agreed and you waited for them to leave. Once you were sure they were gone you made your way out on deck. Not caring for food you just head to the side of the medical office up some stairs and sit legs out between the columns of the railing looking out towards the sea. After awhile you feel someone coming up to you, you tense up.

"What are you doing over here all alone? Why not go drink and meet new people? Yoi" you turn to see the first devision commander Marco say with a ale mug in his hand. You reply

"Im ....allergic... and I.... dont... care... to..........hmm......" you sigh wind whisping your hair over your face. Completely emotionless.

"Allright suit yourself I wont push you but if you need to talk im here Yoi" he says then walks off.

~The First Couple Nights Nothing Happened~

Then one night since you always suppress you devil fruit so others can touch you. After dinner after everyone left they stuffed you in a barrel and left you over night. In the morning you woke up early to hear someone by you saying.

"Odd, whered this barrel come from? Yoi" you hear obviously Marco from his speach pattern.

"......help....." you whisper but he seemed to have caught it because he opened the barrel to reveal you curled up inside. He helps you get out.

"What happened? Who did this to you?! Yoi" he asks and you just look down. He helps you out of the barrel. An involuntary tear running down your face. He bends down and softly wipes away your tear with his thumb.

"If others are bullying you come tell me. Its not right and we dont have room aboard the ship for troublemakers Yoi!" He explains as you just look down and nod another tear fallen.

"I have to start my shift, but feel free to come in to the medical office anytime to talk. I mean it (n) Yoi"

~Later That Night At Dinner In The Back~

"Come on doll, chug chug chug!" The leader of the four yells, voice getting lost in the crowd. Them holding onto your arms. Once their done spilling alcohol down your throat and all over you, you fall down on the floor in the puddle they made of alcohol.

"Oh shit she fell we should leave so no one notices" the leader says as you just lay there completely expressionless.

~After Dinner~

You were curled up partially hidden by sitting barrels but someone noticed you. You felt yourself being picked up and carried away. Once to said destination you hear.

"(n) I cant help if you dont tell me what the problem is or in this case who the problems are. I know theres more than one of them. Is it three or four of them? Yoi" the commander asks.

"..... four....." you didnt want to speak you felt so sick as the commander put an IV in you.

"Get some sleep (n) you can clean up tomorrow. The door will be locked. Yoi" he replys.

"Thank....... you.... commander....." you meekly say. He turns surprised you said something positive.

"Of course Yoi" he says with a big smile as he turns off the lights then you hear him exit the office and lock the building. You drift of to sleep on your med bed.

~Months Later~

Everytime something happens you have to visit Marco, who has been getting more and more suspicious of certain men. Their bullying has been getting worse and worse but just so they dont get caught, but they went to far this time.

When everyone was asleep, you thought you were alone on deck. When a bag went over your head, they stuffed a rag in your mouth and you felt yourself off the ground. Suddenly you feel a piercing pain go through your hands and then feet then stomach as you coughed on blood on the rag desperately trying to yell. Then they left but you still felt eyes on you as you passed out from pain. You awoke in the morning with an IV in your arm on a med bed. The heart beat monitor gave you away. Raising your head to see Marco walk from behind the wall, to your bedside. You just realized your eyes have betrayed your tears overflowing falling hard from your face. The first devision commander gave you a tissue.

"(N) this has been going on for months tell me whose doing this to you Yoi!" Marco lost his cool for a moment then readjusted himself.

"(N) please for your sake and mine please just tell me who they are Yoi" he says softly and holds your cold hand warming you up. Everything youve bottled up came crashing down. Through tears you say

"Its Riko and his groupie. I just feel like I deserve this...."

"What do you mean you deserve all of that? No one deserves what youve been through! Yoi" he replys taking off his glasses pinching the bridge of his nose, then putting his glasses back on.

"Sobbing you speak through your sobs.

"I killed my ....parents when I..... was very young.... I pieced it ....together. I couldnt control it..... their dead because....of ...me" you full on ugly cry sitting up Marco undoes all your IVs and wires and rubs your back. Hes on his rolling chair and transforms into hybrid form pulling you onto his lap hugging you as you cry it all out.

"Sounds like youve been surpressing you devil fruit for a long time Yoi"

"What did they do to me this time? I passed out from the pain..." you question him as he replys.

"They crucified you to the sail pole. To be honest I was scared they nailed you with sea prism nails and one through the stomach. I didnt think youd make it but your natural powers happened and regenerated yourself when you were asleep. Yoi" Once done crying you look up at Marco.

"Do I deserve to live after something like what I did?" You tear up but are quiet now.

"Of course you deserve to live! Find your own happiness. It sounds like an accident you couldnt help it or control your powers. Where are you from? What have you been doing this whole time with your life? Yoi?" He asks rambling.

"I just feel like I deserve it..... Im from Skypeia.... I had a angry phase so.... id destroy islands. The world government wants me dead only. Heres my bounty" you pull out a paper from your shirt and give it to him as he transforms into human.

"Hmm (N)D.(L) 4,000,000,000! Dead Only Yoi" He yells the number part.

"Well they never actually got my face...so they dont know what I look like...." he nods and responds.

"Do you mind me giving this to Pops? Yoi" he asks you politely.

"Sure..... I trust you..... Marco" you say with a twinge of blush at being so close realizing your current position noticing he also had a small blush on his face.

"Well regardless if you had told me who they were or not. I finally caught them. Yoi" he says as your eyes widen.

"Come on lets go talk to Pops Yoi" he slides you off of him onto your feet as he stands.

"Come on little bird, im right next to you do you need to hold my hand? Yoi" he asks and chuckles as you nod yes. He holds the bounty in his right hand and holds your hand in his left as you both exit the office. Once outside you see the four men tied to a mast with sea prism chains.

"You fucking wench ill rape you once out of here!!"

"You fucking snitch we should have thought of the sea prism long ago!!!"

"So your fucking the first commander? that it? Fucking whore!"

"You should die for being born!!"

"Shutup Yoi!!" Marco yells at them. That last one got you angry, as you and Marco walk up to Pops.

"Hey Pops we got a live one here look Yoi" he hands over the bounty. Squeezing your cold hand him warming it up.

"Ahh 4,000,000,000 berries (N)D.(L) you should take the second commanders spot" Pops said. You look over to Marco as he smiles at you, giving your hand a squeeze.

"The position has been open for a while you should take it Yoi" Marco smiles and says as you look back to Pops thinking.

"Okay ill.... take the.... position..." you say meekly.

"Marco work with her this next year to show her the ropes son.

Well have to keep your bounty hidden from the rest of everyone. Now that thats decided what to do with these traitors hmmm. (N) since they did you wrong so harshly what do you recommend?" Pops asks.

".. I want to kill them... with my own powers that I didnt use before because I felt I deserved it." You state as you see Pops nods.

"Death for torturing the second commander is sufficient isnt that right Marco?"

"Sounds right to me Pops Yoi" Marco says unhanding you. The first commander unchains them as they talk more shit, your expression changes from expressionless to pure anger as you reach out encapsulating the three in balls of lightning as you go up to their leader. Suddenly the sky darkens very quickly with thunder and lightning. Summoning a huge lightning bolt you grab Riko by his collar and pick him up you stab him through the mouth into his stomach as the lightning dissapears all thats left is ashes. You drop him causing him to shatter and disperses.

"Oops my bad" You feign ignorance. Now the other three are scared as hell.

"Have mercy!!"

"Ahhh no!!!"

"Help anyone!!!"

You let them go as they jumped over board you make the sea an electric barrier so they cant drown. Then you step on the railing smile at Marco which leaves a blush on him, and fall off not seeing Pops and Marco, them of which walked to the edge to see what you would do. You walk on the electric water as the men scream out in absolute pain as you yell.

"Heavenly Electric Rain!" As all around the Moby Dick is surrounded by electricity then a loud *BOOM!* is heard as the circle of lightning goes outward until Pops and Marco and others on deck see whats going on. You bring your hands down as the water vibrates then explodes as you raise yourself up to the railing now with electricity on your feet hovering. A crowds gathered as you point outward the circle explodes in a radius outward in all water killing anything in it. After the lightning went to the horizon exploding all the water like a tsunami of water and electricity in a circle around the Moby Dick going outward. Everyones mouths agape. You raised your arms spreading the sky to reveal the sun and a cloudless sky. As you float on electricity over the railing and hop down on deck. With tears in your eyes.

"Child you are strong no question about it you deserve your rank. We will announce it at dinner. And Marco show her to her new room. Thats all for now." Pops says smirking. You walk with Marco to your room which you just mainly had clothes, shoes and money. Your tears stopped. He helped you pick up everything and move to the second commanders room which Marco gave you the key for.

"I dont think anyone had any idea you were that powerful. Why didnt you ever fight back little bird? Yoi"

"Because I thought I deserved the pain and torment for what ive done..but I see now how things should really be because of you" Marco and you make eye contact and you blush while he smiles wide with a twinge of red on his face.

~At Dinner~

"Listen up everyone! We have filled the Second Commanders position say hello to (N)D.(L)!" Pops yells as everyone cheers and murmurs what happened eariler. You stand, smile softly and wave then sit back beside Marco and Izo who was beside Marcos other side. You, Marco and Izo chat, eat, and you drink water. As the night grows the first commander bends down to your ear and whispers.

"You wont have anymore problems, I promise Yoi" and that makes you genuinely smile up at him making him blush, him drinking to hide his blush.

"Thank you Marco I owe you" you playfully nudge his arm lightly as he smiles wide at you.

~One Year Later~

You and the First Devision Commander have grown quite close over the year of him teaching you your position. He calls you little or baby bird as a term of endearment but not to anyone else and you call him big bird he is more protective of you now than before too. You have been going on missions bringing back tons of gold. Pops is mighty impressed by you, the used to be wordless, emotionless woman now your bright and cheerful and he knows too its because of Marco. When Marcos birthday came round you got him the rarest gem of Sapphire with flecks of yellow and red in it. You dont know what he did with it but you gave it to him regardless. Youve decided to get him something ever year from now on. You let it slip to Thatch that you really like like Marco then the whole crew knew except for Marco. They knew youd kill them if anyone spoke a word. Only Thatch knew how Marco felt about you. But eventually he let that slip too. But no ones told you or Marco anything. No one knew your birthday even though everyone would ask you and try and figure it out. Ace is in your second devision squad. You and Marco always spend your off days together.

"Youve really gotten the hang of it little bird! Yoi" he exclaimed and petted your head, in your office. Going through your papers as you watch he applauds you again.

"Good job (n) now you dont need me anymore Yoi" your mouth agape with a sad expression.

"Does this mean we wont hang out on off days now?" You quizzically ask him as he looked a bit shocked but understood.

"Well still hang out I promise silly dont be a stranger if you finish your work come hang out with me just as usual Yoi" he smiles wide blushing very slightly as you reply

"Yay! I was worried cause your the one .....I trust the most here..." you say looking down so he wont see you blushing. You look up as your blush fades only to cetch Marco blushing then turning to look at your desk.

"Youve come so far (n). I remember when you would cry or be totally expressionless. It would break my heart seeing you like that. Youve opened up so much baby bird. Yoi" he says but you notice a couple tears falling from his face. You get off your chair and hug him from behind.

"Dont cry Marco.... im doing much better all because of you...." you say as he turns around in your arms. He picks you up by your under arms and hugs you close. You hug around his neck close as he tears up, you run your fingers through his hair over and over saying

"Its okay" eventually he let you down taking off his glasses. You reach on your tippy toes and wipe away his tears for him. He smiles blushing at you.

"Thank you my baby bird Yoi" he says petting your head as he puts his glasses back on.

~Nine Years Later~

You confess to Thatch and Ace that your completely in love with Marco but none of them offer any good advice besides well ask him out which you say no way he has to ask. Same on Marcos end but his excuse is he doesnt want to abuse his rank. One night yall are playing spin the bottle truth or dare after a lot of the crew left dinner. Ace *spins bottle* it lands on you. Shocked you say

"Tru- no dare!"

"Okay (n) I dare you to sit on Marcos lap for the rest of the game except for refills!" He yells and drinks more beer as you thank god your wearing panties today your wearing your favorite skirt and t shirt as you move and sit on Marcos lap. Looking up at Marco you say.

"Is this okay big bird?" As he glances down at you he says

"Of course little bird Yoi" facing straight forward again you did notice a slight blush on his face as you reajust your eyes on Thatch and Ace. You *spin the bottle* landing on Thatch.

"I ant no pussy give me truth" he says confidently.

"Okay how many women have you slept with? haha" you ask as his demeanor changed to saddened.

"Noone dammit thats not what I thought you were gonna say" he scowls at you and you shrug laughing leaning into Marcos chest on accident but you feel him stay firm you feel his heart is going fast. Thatch *spins the bottle* it lands on Marco.

"Truth or dare Marco buddy?" Thatch says with a smirk. Marco seems to be contemplating his answer.

"How about dare? Yoi" The Phoenix says sipping from his mug.

"Okayy okayy I dare you ... to kiss (n)" Thatch says evily. As Marco just looks at them with a glare that you could hardly see. Marco turns you a quarter with a blush on his face he leans down eyes closed as you lean up eyes closed and surprisingly your lips met soft ones that lingered for a moment to long.

"He did it highfive!" Thatch and Ace highfived.

"I said kiss I didnt say where though" Thatch then both you and Marco blushed a deep red and you both just drank from your drinks. As you turned around again, your back to Marco. Marco *spins the bottle*

"Truth or dare Ace?" The first commander says. Ace thinks for a minute.

"Hmm okay how about a truth round no dares" Ace says.

"Okay so is it true you have a girlfriend Ace?"

"What no I wish who told you that?" Ace admits and Marco just shrugs. Ace *spins the bottle* and it lannnnddsss on .....you.

"Remember only truth so lemme think..."

"So ive been hearing you love someone close to you spill now" Ace replies. You blush a thousand sunnies while glaring at him.

"I think im gonna go to-"

"Oh no you dont little bird im curious as well Yoi" Marco hugs you over your arms keeping you down as your butt squirms rubbing areas it shouldnt be for Marco. Finally you settle down huffing.

Your glare at Thatch and Ace a thousand needles.

"I love........." you whisper. They all go.

"Huh none of us heard that."

"I said I love .... Marco....." you immediately blush the deepest red ever putting your hands on your face not knowing what to feel as Marcos still involuntary now hugging you as you boobs are squishing into his arms and hands. You hear a sigh from Marco. You *spin the bottle* which it lands on Ace.

"Truth or dare?" You question quietly Thatch and Ace knew there in for punishment.

"Ill pick dare" Ace replys.

"I dare you to drink those barrels until you feel like you get a hangover" you say glaring at him as he gets another mug full.

After Ace *spins the bottle* landing on Marco.

"Your the last truth then its truth or dare"

"Hmmm Marco why dont you tell us who are you in love with hmmm spill the beans mann" Ace finishes. Blushing as you take a peek at the first commander. You could feel him scratch the back of his head.

"Haha its (n).." he smiles drinking some ale then puts it down. You half turn on him.

"Are you serious Marco! When were you gonna tell me?!" You shout grabbing his collar. He smiles even wider at your outburst.

"It never came up in conversation Yoi"

"Oh thats your excuse you shoulda grown a pair earlier" you yell.

"Hey no- Yoi" you cut him off holding his collar of his purple jacket you kiss him longer than last time. Meanwhile Thatch and Ace are whistling and hollering so are the crewmates left on deck. After you released Marco you sat back down in his lap.

"Oh you two shutup you got what you wanted" you say crossing your arms. They both say

"But arnt you glad now?" They say to you both.

You look up at Marco whose looking down at you still blushing and say at the same time.

"Yess."

"Welp im beat" Ace says.

"Yea and I have to get up early for inventory" Thatch also says.

"Your both leaving like that? Ill kick your asses!" You yell but then feel Marco hug you close and nuzzle your neck planting a kiss which makes all anger drain from your body. He whispers in your ear.

"I can finally say I love you (n) Yoi" you gained a shiver as his hot breath douses your neck making him smile against your skin. You turn your head fully blushing as he looks at you with lidded eyes with a blue fire in them. As he stands he picks you up facing him and says

"Wrap your legs around me wheres your key? Yoi" you both blushing hard.

"Here" you take it out of your bra.

"Your not gonna need that soon Yoi" he says breathing on your neck making you hot and bothered. You whisper in his ear softly.

"Im a virgin Marco.." he replys back in a whisper too

"So am I Yoi" as he unlocks your commander room door walks in and locks the door.

"Do you not want too? I am in need of cuddles too Yoi" Marco says thinking about it he did sort of spring it on you.

"Maybe I got the wron-Yoi"

"I do want to Marco im just shy look at my face" you cut him off. He leans back and looks at a tomato red blushing (n). He goes to your bed and lays you down.

"Awee are you that nervous? Then dont worr-Yoi" you cut him off again. Pointing a finger at him

"Ive waited long enough bring it on me" you shout then bury your face in your hands from embarrassment.

"I think I understand now Yoi" he says then continues.

"(N) do you masterbate or have you ever?" Peeking at him you reply

"No should I have been?"

"The reason you dont know what your feeling is because your body is telling you need it but your head is saying no Yoi"

Uncovering your hands you state

"So your saying I should get layed?"

"Well that would help or masterbate but you look like your in heat so masterbation probably wont help. Yoi" you blush even deeper.

"How am I this hor-..."

"Nevermind I know why its cause you got a bonner while I was sitting on you making me all like this" he just chuckles and sits on the bed with you.

"I just need your consent silly or we can cuddle Yoi" he says with a smile.

"Well first what are we Marco I dont just want to be lovers.." you state.

"(N) will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend? Yoi" he states with a wide smile making you blush again.

"Yes id love that Marco!" You exclaim in glee.

"And I give you my consent Marco just help please ive never experienced this before with anyone but you" he caresses your cheek with his right hand and tilts your head so he has access to your lips and neck. Leaning down the kiss is more passionate as you fall into it and follow his lead, tounges flicking around embracing both of you swallowing each others saliva. Breaking for air you kick your shoes off trying to unbutton your top then Marco takes over slowly unbuttoning your shirt as he kisses your neck then starts sucking hard everywhere on your neck then down to your bra, making you moan his name

"Marcooo!" He smiles and once unbuttoned you sit up to get your shirt off then he slides his off putting his jacket on the ball of the bed railing undressing his shoes which have a zipper then he runs his hands on up your thighs making you moan again as he keeps getting closer to your panties making you shiver and twitch. Finally he grabs your panties and pulls them off. While he undresses his pants leaving just his boxers. Finally he takes off your bra one handed. He pokes your sensitive nipples and rubs them as you twitch and moan

"MarcoOO!"

"Im gonna have you screaming my name soon dont worry my baby bird Yoi" he says as he slides his boxers off revealing a huge present for you.

"Will it fit?" You honestly dont know.

"Trust me im the doctor here little bird Yoi" he says as he repositions you laying long ways with the bed as he gets on top of you and slowly checks your wetness the same time making you moan.

"Commander Marco!" You yell.

"Ouu I like the sound of that Yoi" he smiles wide and says, as he positions his cock at your entrance sliding it up and down as you are twitching more than ever.

"My sweet little bird look at how wet you are for me slicking me up really nice Yoi" Marco taunts you while you moan louder

"Big bird MarcOOO pleasee I need you!" He leans down to suck on your breasts sucking hard then swirling around your nipple and the other one.

"Others are gonna se-"

"I want everyone to know who you belong too screaming my name. Your mine! Yoi" Getting mews out of you. You huffing face all red. He admires you for a second and his handiwork on your neck and breasts then leans back down, eye level with you. Positioning his dick at your soaking entrace again sliding up and down as you wrap your arms around his neck you kiss then suck hard in various spots making Marco moan also

"God! Second commander!! (n)!!! your feisty Yoi!" You both knew others could allready hear you both. After youve sufficiently hickeied him you state

"Well now others will know your mine!"

"Well my baby bird are you prepared? Im gonna slide in, soon youll be mine forever! Yoi"

You nod and say

"Im ready big bird Marco" thats all he needed as he slips just the tip in making you go

"Ahh Commander!" As he slowly reaches your virginity he says

"Are you ready sweetheart? Yoi" and you just nod hanging onto him as he slowly pops your virginity one of his hand goes to your button swirling and massaging it while his lips met yours fighting, playing for dominance which he won as you makeout you start to moan again. Giving him the sign to continue. Breaking for air breathless he says

"Now your mine forever say it little bird who do you belong too Yoi"

"I belong to first devision commander Marco!!!! Ahhh!! Big bird your filling me up!!!" You moan as he thrusts out a little then in to stretch your walls for him.

"Thats another point we havent discussed! Do you want kids?! But more importantly do you want my babies?! Ahhh!! Fuck your so tight!!! second commander!!! Yoi"

"Yes I want your babies inside of me!!! Ahh yesss!!!! Marco please cum in me!!!!!" You yell for all to hear.

"Okay dont have to tell me twice Yoi" he huffs his erection growing harder as he bottoms out at your cervix.

"Told you it would fit Yoi" as you look down, wrapping your legs around his waist he chuckles. He starts to thrust out then in

"Ohh god!!!!! Yesss!!!!! First commander!!!!!!" You yell to the heavens as he starts gradually making you both huff in wanting and knowing you belong to eachother now. He places his hand back next to your head as he speeds up thrusting in and out, but not all the way out just enough to slip back in. Your fingernails dig into his back you look into his eyes and he doesn't seem bothered. As he speeds up more, both of you cant help but moan for the other.

"Yesss Marco!!!!! First commander!!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!! (N) second commander!!!!!! Yoi" soon he is railing you

"Found! Your g spot! Birdy!!" Yoi!!!" He yells as he keeps pounding you in your g spot relentlessly giving you the pleasure you were denyed your whole life.

"Marco!!!! Yess!!!!! Right there!!!! My first Commander!!!!" Your body started to get the rhythm and soon you both were moving together slamming it. Time was useless for you both. It was starting to weigh on you both getting closer and closer to climax.

"Ahh!!!! Yessshh!!!!!!! First commander!!!!!! Im getting close!!!!!!" You scream.

"Fuckkk!!!!! Second commander im getting close too!!!!! You want my cum all inside you baby bird?!!!! Yoi!!!!" Marco screams.

"Yess!!!! Cum in me Marco!!! Cream in me!!!!!!" You scream. After some time of thrusting and you bouncing with his movements.

"Big bird!!!! Your gonna make me cum soon!!!!!"

"Fuck!!!! Baby bird your gonna make me cum!!!! Yoi"

"Lets cum together!!!! Yoi" he yells loudly as you see stars and black spots you tear up and moan

"This is heaven!!!!Marco!!!" Screaming he says

"Are you ready second commander?!!!! Ready to cum for me?!!!!! Ready for my hot creamy cum!!!!!!! To squirt all inside you!!!!!! Yoi!!!!"

"Im ready!!!!! Marco I need your hot cum to fill me up now!!!!!" You scream.

"Ready cum with me!!!Yoi" he yells

"Im cumming Marco!!!!!" You scream.

"(N) im cumming in you, take all of my hot cum!!!!! Yoi" as your walls constrict it makes his cum go even deeper filling you up. He keeps thrusting through both of your sexhighs as he slowly comes to a stop both of you shaking slightly but mainly you twitching and shaking more. Looking into his eyes soft lips meet yours as you welcome them making out breathing through your noses now swallowing eachothers saliva then breaking for more air. Huffing. He looks around but theres no rags anywhere.

"You dont keep- Yoi"

"Never mind thats a stupid question Yoi" he says as you use your electricity to hover you both upright and over to the shower.

"Handy and ticklish Yoi" he smiles as he uses one hand to place his glasses on the top of the shower. As hes holding your thighs so slipping out that quickly wont hurt you.

"Ready my little bird? Im gonna slip out now Yoi" he questions

"Im ready Marco~" you state as he slowly pulls out in by inch until its out.

"Ahh!" You twitch. He sets you down but have to hug his abs to stand.

"Just hang onto me until you can stand little bird Yoi" he says while turning on the warm water as it pours over both your heads soaking your and his hair. Watching your and his cum go down the drain. After awhile you can finally stand.

"Lets get cleaned up Yoi" he says as he washes your back and you wash his back. Cuddling in the soap then rinsing off. He shuts off the water and grabs your towel wrapping it around you. He transforms into hybrid form and wraps his wings around you.

"What about you arnt you cold Marco?" You question.

"Naw I dont really get cold dont worry sweetie Yoi" cuddling in his chest you stroke his wings using haki but not to hurt him.

"Ahh feels nice. Noones ever done that to me before. Yoi" he says kissing your neck as he chuckles.

"You know we have to talk and test our divisions tomorrow Yoi" he says to you.

"Marco you asshat you planned this?" He just chuckles smiling wide

"No no dear I just think its funny the timing Yoi" once your both dry he transforms into human form again. Leading you to the bed, sliding into bed, for you to cuddle. He puts his arm down as a pillow for you to lay in the crook of his neck while he wraps his other arm around your waist, bringing you closer to him intertwining both your legs with his. Pulling up the covers he says

"Your all mine and im all yours, and im sure everyone will have something to say tomorrow Yoi"

"Im all yours and your all mine. I dont care what people say I love you Marco"

"I love you (n) Yoi" Marco says.

"Goodnight" You both say at the same time, he chuckles and you laugh while you both cuddle falling asleep.

~The Next Morning~

"Little bird Yoi~"

"HmmMm" you open your groggy eyes to see Marco in your bed then recall the events thats happened last night. With a gaint blush on your face you finally make words.

"Yes?"

"Were going to be late if we dont hurry Yoi" he says to you as your eyes widen and you shoot up from bed. Marco chuckling as he gets up and gathers his clothes dressing. While your trying to find new clothes you throw the dirty onces in the bin. Finally finding that pair of black shorts and t shirt you wear you black boots. Finishing up the necessities brushing teeth, bathroom etc.

"I need to get ready too. I love you (n). Ill see you soon Yoi" his sweet lips on yours real quick. While you did that, Marco left for his room to prepare. You grab your clip board and pencil and head out the door. Locking your room but leaving a window open to let it air out since the room smelt of sex. Meeting your Second Devision Squad on deck, you did rollcall.

"Okay today were doing training ill be your opponent. Luckily we stopped at an island so we wont damage the ship everyone to the island." Ace raises his hand as others are sushhing him trying to put his hand down.

"Yes Ace have something you want to share?" You question him. He snickers and asks

"So whered you get all those hickeys?" He snickers again as you lightly chuckle shrugging you admit.

"I got them from Marco. You might have heard something last night im sure. Or maybe we werent loud enough?" You scratch your head with your pencil letting it roll off your back like Marco always does. Everyones mouth is agape that you just outright said it.

"Oh please dear god no forget I even asked!" Ace yells as you giggle.

"Your lucky im in a good mood lil Ace" you say as you float over the railing bringing your whole devision with you too the island. As everyone floats down to the island.

"I am not little!" Ace yells as you giggle. After everyones on the island which was baren and a good medium size you went up the list from down floating each person back to the ship after they were done. Giving pointers and offering ideas and ways to help each member. Until only Ace was left.

"This time im gonna beat you (n)!" You hear chanting then glance to the ship where half were chanting for Ace and the other half were chanting for you including Marco. You look back to Ace hes in a ready stance. As you ready your stance, you take out a blindfold and wrap it around your head.

"Im not gonna fight someone who blinds themselves!" Ace yells as you and you retort.

"This is your handicap Ace you better fight or ill fail you and punish you."

"Tchh fine but you better not cry to Marco when I win!" He yells to you as he starts running your way. Your observation haki is very strong so this should be quick. Once hes in range you swing kick half force ontop of Aces head making a gaint crater where his head was. You feel him after a couple of seconds get up and wipe his mouth.

'He must have spat up blood' you think to yourself as Ace uses

"Fire fist!" As you point a finger at him letting go of your charge you've built up causing a massive shockwave rocking the Moby Dick hitting Ace then exiting his body.

"Is this all you have to offer me Ace?" You mock him getting him riled up.

"Flame Commandment!" He powers up then unleashes it to you.

"Lightning Commandment!" Which you point a finger at his attack and at the last second you discharge both of you unseeable from the attacks. Another shockwave and everyone is in awe at the fight before them you felt even some commanders and whole devisions were watching along with your big bird and his devision. All anyone can see is the island smashing apart and the gaint half of electricity and half fire. After the flash was over you walk through Aces flames. Using your electricity you hold Ace above water along with you. Hes on his knees

"But that was my strongest attack.... what are you??...." Ace asks

"Im the lightning god. Theres no way you were going to beat me" You reply taking your blindfold off. Floating your clipboard over to you where the island used to be you wrote down some notes then floated Ace and you back to the deck. Ace just layed on his knees head to the deck. You spy Marco walk up and say

"Dont feel that bad Ace even I couldnt beat her Yoi"

"Good job my little bird Yoi" Marcos kisses your cheek and everyone mouths are agape some were hollering and whistling. You giggled as you say

"Well Ace looking here your number one in the Second Devision Squad at least thats something to be proud of!" You say trying to cheer him up. Finally he stands saying

"Yea I guess" he rubs the nape of his neck and walks off. Marco looks at you with a smile which you smile back, both your hickied necks fully visible to everyone.

"Ah let him cool off hell be fine by dinner Yoi" you hear the First Devision Commander say.

"All right shows over, get back to work everyone! Yoi" Marco says. As everyone disperses Marco says

"That means you too (n) Yoi"

"Ya ya I know First commander~" you say cutely rubbing one of his hickey's. He grabs your hand gently and pulls you close whispering in your ear.

"Keep this up and ill have to punish you tonight~" he taunts and releases you. You just blush red and say

"Im gonna go do paperwork now bye boyfriend~" you stick out your tounge then run away as you hear him chuckle and smile. Once in your office you do paperwork on your Devision. After all day you hear a knock on your office door.

"Who is it?" You wonder.

"Its me Yoi"

"You dont have to knock you know" you reply back to him.

"Just being curdious my baby bird" he comes up behind your chair leans down and hugs you close while kissing on your neck making you moan softly

"Marcoo" then he pulls away but nips your sensitive ear causing you to shiver.

"So lover what are you stuck on? Working hours are over. Havent you noticed? Yoi" Marco says curiously.

You look up to him and ask

"Who would you put for fourth and fifth place this person has great defense but this other person has great offensive their tied and I dont know what to do" he seems to think for a moment then replys

"I would say offensive is better than defense Yoi"

"Yay! Finally im done with this stack! Time to report in" you say popping up as you clutch the papers. Your picked up as you instinctively wrap your legs around Marcos waist and hang on his neck with one arm. Him makingout with you, him also holding your thighs up. You could feel a bulge going on from him. As tounges fight for dominance you nip at his and he does the same making you moan. As you both brake for air huffing he lets you down.

"Look at what your doing to me woman Yoi" he motions to his bulge. He reajusts his cock in his pants so its not noticeable. Thats when Ace came through the door.

"Hey there you are Marco I knew if I went to (n) youd be here! Could I get a painkiller my heads killing me!" Ace says holding his head. You just hear Marco slightly sigh then turn around with a smile.

"Allright come with me Yoi" Marco says as they leave. You exit your office, lock it and head to the bulletin board tacking on the newest rankings.

"Ah it seems everyone allready did theres oh well im not that late" you speak to yourself. As you go to the main office for each devision to put the paperwork. You put your stack in the second devision box. Then head out its a sunny day.

'I want a smootie' you walk over to cantina and pick up kiwis and raspberrys blend them with ice then set your drink down.

'I should make one for Marco too' you think to yourself grabbing a pineapple chopping the green off then blend the whole thing since hell eat all of it. Once done cleaning you took the two drinks looking for your boyfriend. You went to the med office and used your head to knock.

"Come in Yoi" with your hands full you use your electricity to open the door and enter.

"Hey dear-" then you saw Ace.

"Thought you only needed a pain pill?" You directed your question at Ace but Marco spoke.

"He broke a bone when you both were fighting Yoi" your boyfriend says using his blue fire on Aces arm.

"Welp I made us drinks big bird" you change the subject and layed down his drink on his desk while you sip on yours.

"You didnt have to but I very much appreciate it my little bird. Yoi" he takes a sip while working on Aces arm.

"Its delicious love. Yoi" he says with a wide smile to you.

"Ugh get a room you two" Ace says.

"Maybe you should get a girlfriend Ace" you stare daggers at him making him flinch and you laugh.

"And by the way we had a room but someone burst in without knocking" you add. That saying made Ace blush red.

"There all done for now. You will have to come in every day for a week. Yoi" Marco says as he enjoys his drink now and so do you.

"Thanks doc see ya two later" Ace says leaving the office. Marco goes and locks the door making you raise an eyebrow. You both finished your smoothies.

"Bottoms off now Yoi" he gives you that look, like I want you now. You use your electricity to drawn all the blinds as you undress your black shorts and kick off your boots. Then he slides off your panties as he drops his pants and boxers. Sliding his dick in between your thighs.

"My my allready soaking wet for me just how I like it. Here bite on this gauze roll be a good girl and I wont punish you like I said eariler. Shh try not to make a sound my sweet little bird Yoi"

"Bend over the table for me Yoi" he demands and you obey your arms supporting your weight.

'Thank god all the tables are bolted down or it would rock into the wall' you think as he inserts his tip and you moan but quietly because of the gauze. He picks you up by your low stomach feeling himself fill you up with his cock through your lower abdomen. He starts thrusting as you moan long and softer than normal this was a more sensual kind of sex. Forbidden sex in the offices. It turned you on as he pounded your g spot makeing you see circles and dots moaning a little louder he says while grunting.

"Shh remember Baby bird be a good girl and you get your reward Yoi" you nod as he thrusts again and again the gauze making you drool on the cleared off desk. Whatever he was doing it was working. This new feeling of euphoria made you feel so high. Afterwhile he leans over and says

"Are you close baby bird? Yoi" you just nod viciously. He takes that as a sign to finish as he kept up his pace which wasnt even that fast like the first time this time it was sensual but still making you want to cum. He whispers

"Im going to cum soon (n) Yoi" he whispers to you as he holds your low stomach him feeling his cock moving in and out of you turning him on even more. He speeds up a little more hitting your G spot everytime on purpose. You moaning as quietly as you can.

"Heres your reward my sweet girlfriend Yoi" you moan a little louder as your cuming, he keeps thrusting. By you cuming it makes him cum. Him whispering to you

"Heres your reward my little bird take all of my hot cum have my babies Yoi" he grunts moaning softly as he thrusts through your and his sex highs till he gradually slows down and stops. You took the gauze out of your mouth. Huffing for air as he grabs a small towel and after a minute he whispers

"Im going to slide out now Yoi" and you just nod. As he slides out you have to stifle a loud moan. You knees weak legs twitchy. He cetches your juices and cum ckeaning you up then flipping the towel in half cleaning him up now.

"You couldnt have waited? " you giggled as you put your panties black shorts on and boots back on you cleaned up your drool and tossed the gauze away. He pulled up his boxers and pants too. He comes up behind you and says in your ear.

"No I couldnt youve been poking jabs at me all day and especially in your office. So I half punished you and half rewarded you Yoi" he states as you open a couple windows.

"Now it smells like sex in the doctors office." Marco just shrugs and smiles wide and leans down to kiss you, kissing back then departing with a string of saliva falling away he picks you up by your thighs as you hook onto his neck.

"It was kinky I liked it, what about you (n) Yoi" he says quietly as you whisper

"You in that doctors coat is a turn on its been a fantasy of mine for awhile" his curiosity gets the better of him.

"What other things tantalize your mind? Yoi" he asks sliding you off of him.

"Youll just have to find out~" you shake your booty a little as he grabs that ass firmly making you gasp and him chuckle.

"Wait how long have we been in here?" You question and he replys

"Not long at all about thirty minutes Yoi"

"Oh good come on big bird lets go before were found out" he nods puts his doctors coat up and unlocks the door letting you exit as he locks the door.

"Dont you feel better (n)? Yoi" he asks

"Actually I very much do feel better. How about you?" You ask.

"I think you know but ill entertain you. Yes it feels like a weights been lifted off my shoulders. Yoi" he chuckles at your guys fun and smiles wide intertwining hands with you as it was getting close to dinner time. He led you to your guys table to chill before dinner Izo and Ace were allready there talking.

"Well speak of the devil or devils in this case." Ace says as Izo nods.

You and Marco just cock your heads like what.

"What is it this time Ace? Yoi" the first devision commander asks.

"The whole crew want to know what exactly are you guys to eachother" Izo speaks. You just let Marco talk it out. With a smile he says

"Well shes my girlfriend of course and more. Yoi"

"And hes my boyfriend and more" you giggle. As Ace and Izo look a bit taken aback by the transparency.

"Ring A Ding Ding Its Dinner Time" you turn to see Thatch handing out food and crewmates lining up for booze.

"Excuse me little bird. I better go get some ale before its gone Yoi" you slid out of the booth and let everyone slide out to get booze while you allready had water you just stood while Thatch came with food to your table setting down meat for Ace and Izo a pineapple and a fruit bowl for Marco and tuna sushi for you. You got stars in your eyes

"I heard sushi was your favorite food so ill be giving it to you from now on" Thatch says as you gleam "Ahh!!! Thank you soo muchh Thatch!!! Thats so sweet of you!" He rubs the back of his head.

"I kinda have to cater to the highest commanders" Thatch says.

"Whats goin on Yoi?" Marco is suddenly standing behind Thatch.

"He made me my favorite food!" You raised your arms in the air excited. Marco raises an eyebrow to Thatch.

"I was just telling her I make the highest commanders their favorite foods. Wellp back to work" Thatch goes back to the kitchen. You let Marco slide into the booth seeing his favorite food he smiles and wraps his left arm around your shoulders. Making the crew murmur. You look at Marco eating his pineapple with the skin on makes you giggle. He smiles and asks

"Whats so funny my little bird? Yoi"

"Why do you eat the hard peel?" You reply.

"It carries a lot of nutrients Yoi"

He says as you whisper in his ear

"They say if you eat a lot of pineapple that your cum tastes sweet~" he whispers back

"Well well have to figure that out if thats okay with you? I have something I want to do to you too but shh its a secret Yoi" you reply

"Its okay with me im curious myself" you both ended the conversation and started eating your sushi and he ate the rest of the fruit. Then drinking some ale while you drank your water. Everyone including you were chatting having a merry time. After dinner you and Marco split up to take showers once done you dress in a short thigh high black thin dress then walk out of your room and lock the door. Then go to Marcos room and knock. You heard it unlock guessing its for you. You walk in then lock the door. Suddenly you feel Marcos arms around you from behind and picked you up

"Hey put me down" he obeys and puts you down.

"Whats the matter little bird I want to cuddle~ Yoi" you inspect his room then see on a small pillar on the wall by his library all of the gems youve given him for his birthday.

"Aweee you kept them" he walks over to you hugging you from behind.

"Of course I kept them, there my treasures from the one I love Yoi" he holds your hand and leads you to the bed. You get in and he slips in under the covers with you. He turns on his side spooning you holding you with both arms as you hold his arms and intertwine your legs with his.

"Goodnight my sweet little bird Yoi" his breath on your neck making you shiver.

"Goodnight my handsome kind Phoenix"

~Happy End~

[honeydots]

3 and 17 for the ao3 wrapped!! :D

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? oooooo that's a hard question!! it might be sleeping mountains? despite how its still in progress, im really pleased with my goro characterization in that fic, as well as how i've had him interact w the other characters (and how i plan to have him interact with future ones). i think in terms of pride *specifically* it's probably that one :O

17. Your favorite character to write this year? KIRAGI!!! oh kiragi.... he's already such a sweet kid, and it was all the more fun writing him as an excitable 9 year old in grapevine. his POV gave so much wiggle room to work with and it was just a pure pleasure to write him hehe.

[orcelito]

aw fuck okay i just remembered the additional scene idea i had for discacc this chapter

in figuring out what scenes i want for this chapter i have decided to initiate the next step of the Goro Makes Friends agenda. i am looking forward to it

[cherubchoirs]

im working on the rank 8 sc au fic, just like. so u know its a thing thats happening, the answer you gave on it btw is actually EXACTLY what i was asking slash needed so ty So much for it <3 ill send u a link for it once its done if u want!! i might also write another part for akechis pov, since this ones from akiras? if thatd be okay ofc

UUWUWUWJAUDUHSF I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT,,,,,,OMG,,,,,,,definitely absolutely send me a link whenever you finish!!! i'm so happy my answer was helpful too bc like i said, it wasn't really a concrete scene and so i didn't know if it was too vague lol i'd love to read goro's pov as well because i think, like akira in canon, there's definitely a lot going on in his head as well as their relationship develops. he's aware from pretty early on that things aren't quite right with akira, but once he and the thieves begin to unravel just how deep akira's involvement runs in the conspiracy...he starts to really get the feeling that the clock is ticking down. honestly the only scene i'm actually writing myself at this point is the depths of mementos black mask reveal, which i'm telling through goro's pov because it's when the timer hits zero and he knows he's too late. BUT other than that!!! i would so love to see what you would write...and just know that i will be eternally grateful to read it over and over 🥺🥺😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖

[kurjakani]

What would be the top 3 things you loved in cyberpunk77?? ❤ Love your sweet oc for it!!

Ahwww THANK U i absolutely fell in love w the lore so I'll defi be working more within the world !!! >:')

1. Characters & character relationships

Genuinely fun stories for characters, their growth, how you take part in their growth and grow from it yourself (though that part is a bit lacking, but I rp w characters a lot anyways :'))!!! Some of them ended up a bit weird, but in a way fitting? Eg. Mr Goro in the Arasaka ending seems so unattached after what you have gone through with him (personally I managed to build good repor w him he was SO SWEET) (he sent me the boomer selfie i love him sm) but it... makes sense for multiple reasons..... !!!!

One thing that did rly make a lot of the interactions stand out was the sit down/lean interactions; whenever V would be prompted to sit down/lean on smth, you get that rly close up n personal pov of the conversation. I don't play a LOT of aaa games, but as far as I've seen it's pretty unique? Comparing to...

Fallout 4's staring off to the distance conversation prompts

Obsidians (fallout nv & outer worlds) "we are keeping eye contact but its rather stiff and extremely centered and you have no control of the view".. thibk this is the most common one?i recall it being in vtmb, skyrim & smth uhhh.... i had one other in mind cabt remember sorry

Compared to;

Cpunk 2077s more pre-designed major shots. You can move your field of view, the characters can get extremely close 2 u depending on the scene etc. I would catch myself rping just, where V would look 2 be real lol. Ofc this was a very minor part, of convos- a lot of them r done from further away, but i think its a rly neat addition to the interactions that made them a lot more intimate& memorable!!! Panam putting her legs on Vs, Royce pointing a gun at u, etc. I think a lot of people would prolly critique the mechanic of locking a player into these convos but I rly don't mind it...

2. Side mission stuff..

A lot of the like.... "go here do this go there do that" issue of side missions can be prettyyyy easily fixed for me by giving sm interesting storyline etc 2 work w and yeah just.... yk.... delamane cabs.... taking over clouds... peter pan braindance stuff... a lot of these missions had like somw small variation 2 keep them exiting, but also just, a bunch of fun stories and ywah :') u can probably guess by now that I like story based games LISTEN it is my weakness yeah

There were some rly fun writers working on cpunk!!! I have some issue w how streamlined Vs personality was, and how a lot of their dialogue came down 2 quips and funnyman stuff, but I think in a way that fits what I've gathered 2 be the feel of the original tabletop game??? Like its fun... it's guggi.

In a way there were points where like, a part of my brain can a lil bit say that some of the stories weren't explored as throughoutly as they could have been but.... exploring them urself is literally half the fun. Which is why it's kinda devastating that the fanbase isn't as big as smth like fallout 4 etc!!!! There was like hours of lore video content & theories for that- smth that could easily be done for cpunk, but i think the early relase that soured ppl 2 cpunk and i think the cost of the game & the cost of the console/pc that youd need 2 play limits the playerbase a lot... so there hasn't been chance for a proper culture like that to flourish, though there is a LOT of incredible fan creations !!!

3. The maelstroms

Listen I'm just obsessed they're so interesting 2 me. The addction to bodymodification, the occult & the crime, their mental states, their health, their LOOK bvs its BEAUTIFUL, their strange lingering between organized and loose and weird..... god I love the maelstroms sm i wanna study them in a little terrarium

Sorry this got qquiiiite rambly but!!! 😭😭😭 i dont have a lot of ppl 2 talk qbt this to so im v exited 2 just go off.... i have a lot of critique of the game but in a loving way, in the same way that I would critisize new vegas or vtbmb.... theres some clumsiness and weirdness, and thats exactly what i love abt it- im kinda aversed to sleek, completely smooth games.

[akechicrimes]

tomorrow A-side / tomorrow B-side

@blazhy​ this got so long and im so sorry in advance 😔

the story of the two endings is a whole mess. i set out to write a story where akira and akechi reunite, akira becomes incredibly angry with akechi after reuniting post-royal, and in the original premise, akira just absolutely tears him apart--even moreso than he already does in B-side, because the original conceit was an angry fistfight and then horny makeouts. LMFAO. and then, i think, i vaguely imagined that akira would tell akechi to leave him the fuck alone, at least for a little while, while akira figured his emotions out.

also, i imagined that the story would be about 2-3k long, so as you can see by the fact that both editions of tomorrow are longer than 17k, you can see how this did not work out. LOLOL.

so with this premise in mind, i tried to figure out how they’d get to such a falling-out argument, and started with a external third person pov about the phantom thieves noticing how sad akira was after akechi left. i scrapped that because i feel a type of way about stories that center around validating the main character’s pain, switched to close-third person, started throwing around super mournful, angry, and generally upset paragraphs about how akira felt with akechi gone, which later became the sections nearer to the end (e.g. his dream about akechi’s funeral).

i really liked the strain of “akira daydreams about all the ways that the reunion could go, only for the actual reunion to be a total letdown/wake-up call,” so i kept writing the passages about his daydreams and how they eventually became more and more exhausted from the strain of waiting. and because i kept chasing that thread, it turned into the whole 16k saga that’s up on ao3.

around the midway point, i realized that the original ending wasnt going to work, because the original ending seemed weirdly fantastical and too picture perfect, especially after 16k of words about akira imagining picture-perfect scenarios where everything works out, and it felt wrong to play right into his fantasies of a reunion where things turn out alright.

so about the midway point, i came up with a series of different ideas that later became the B-side ending--rather than necessarily an argument that turned into an emotional reunion, maybe something less fantastical. in one of these endings, akira says he’s tired of being in love with goro, which finally sparks a conversation about their feelings. (i did not write this because it was a hugely guilt trip move on akira’s part. it made sense considering akira’s very very long wait for three years, but it made me want to gag, thinking about akira throwing his feelings at goro like goro is responsible for them.) in another one, akira apologizes for being in love with him (i dont remember WHY this was a thing). these were kind of floating around in my head, but it was ultimately all iterations of “akira and goro have some sort of argument but not in a horny way” at the end of the fic.

so a whole good chunk of the fic was written with an argument ending (essentially B-side) in mind: i wrote the scene in the jazz club with that in mind, as well as the strains in the fic about akira feeling like akechi was the one person he could be honest with, and a bunch of stuff about how much both akechi and akira appreciated and depended on each other to disagree with them.

but by the time i had gotten all my sections in order and written them back to november 2019, when the reunion was supposed to take place, i felt... really weird about the B-side ending. i’d basically dug my own grave, because i’d written 16k of akira slowly realizing that maybe he had to let akechi go after all, and the original ending didnt make any sense. and it felt really weird as an ending for the same reason i scrapped the original premise: it seemed like bad form to play into the idea that they’d reunite and everything would turn out alright, especially after all that time of akira imagining ridiculous and unrealistic lovesick daydreams. it doesnt make any sense to have a story about akira daydreaming and then end with more daydreaming.

*through gritted teeth* so i. had to put on my big boy pants. and admit. that i’d written myself into a corner. and i was narratively obligated. by virtue of pushing back against akira’s silly daydreams. to write an ending. where shuake. does NOT resolve everything. and instead. *grits teeth louder* their reunion goes disastrously. and. they break up. and. *grits teeth loudest* go their separate ways. for the foreseeable future.

i wrote it and was immediately so fucking devastated with my own ending that i DM’d vintgecassette like oh god please read this thing and tell me what you think of the end (please tell me that there is another option) and she was like “no actually this ending makes sense. im crying but it makes sense” to which i dramatically fell upon my knees and had to accept that i’d written SEVENTEEN THOUSAND WORDS about shuake reuniting after royal only to have them IMMEDIATELY BREAK UP.

i hated it instantly. i talked to kat about it some more and told her about the other ending ideas i had, and somewhere in that conversation she said that the B-side ending sounded actually really cool, since there was already lots of good foreshadowing for the ending set in place, and also because goddamn if anyone should open up a bit, it’d be akira “i dont talk about my feelings” kurusu. (again, i wrote most of the fic intending for the B-side to be the ending, so it made sense.) so i was like owo? and pulled all my scrapped content for the B-side back out of the Trash and started reworking it purely out of spite for the A-side, despite the fact that the A-side existed in the first place as a pushback against the B-side.

i think this is a very longwinded way of saying that i posted both endings because i thought both of them, if by itself, was just ridiculous. a sad ending like A-side felt like meaningless sad feelings unless there was a universe where things could have been better. B-side felt unrealistic without acknowledging that things could and maybe should have turned out for the worse. of course, this is just how the endings game to be written, and i think the effect they have is more complicated--ive read some really cool comments on what people feel and think about the endings, and i think all those interpretations all extremely cool and extremely valid.

tldr, i dont actually know how to write and everything was a mistake. thanks for the ask, im sorry again this is so long 😔

ask for the director’s cut on a fic i’ve written

[hirokiyuu]

3, 4, 7, 16, 17, 19?

3.  What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)

GOD okay. ok ok ok ok ive had a few concepts of a futuristic violence and fancy suits inspired futago au where shido as a hyper rich capitalist dies and futaba inherits everything so goro goes to get her with no ulterior motives whatsoever :) and naturally everything goes to shit bc he was shidos hitman etc etc and like. the reveal where it comes out that he was taking her to try and get the inheritance is one i thought abt a LOT........... but im never going to write this au so uh. u kno.

slightly unhinged goro + freaked out but trying futaba is a fun dynamic. i really like these two together can u tell (looks at pef)

4.  Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

“You never get tired of coming out here,” Nazuna said, once, the summer that Shuu was sixteen. That year had been hotter than most, but even ice cream and air conditioning hadn’t been enough to keep Shuu indoors, not when he could sit with his feet in the river and watch water run over Nazuna’s perfect toes.

“Of course not,” Shuu said, tilting his head up with a sniff. Nazuna’s mask was resting on the side of his head, red eyes watching Shuu from beneath delicate blond eyelashes. “The only thing of worth in this place is you.”

Nazuna laughed at that. The trees left the light falling on him like stardust, gold dappling the lines of his jaw. “You’re so ridiculous.”

“I’m only telling the truth.”

A splash of water; Shuu yelped and tilted back on instinct, flailing as he tipped over. Twigs in his hair, dirt on his clothes, laughter in his ears, Shuu watched the leaves above catch in the faintest possible breeze and thought to himself, Oh, I’m in love. It was not a surprise. He’d known for years. It was just that the word had never come knocking before.

from in the fireflies’ forest!!! i really like this entire fic a lot tbh wwww i spent a lot of time experimenting w/mood and feeling here and i’m really proud w/how ti came out.......... in terms of like. atmospheric pieces i have this is probably one of if not my strongest wwwww

7.  What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?

HM i think atmosphere is where im strongest. in terms of like? conveying the mood and tone of the scene and the characters emotions thru small things.......... almo has definitely made comments to this effect before so i think so WWWWWW

16. Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?)

www recently ive been writing a lot of ffxiv, which basically means i’m writing a lot of oc stuff? it’s odd after going so ahrd on fanfic for so long bc it’s like. there’s no canon i have to adhere to. i mean there’s Some canon but mostly its just like. flings spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks u kno

17.  Do you think readers perceive your work - or you - differently to you? What do you think would surprise your readers about your writing or your motivations?

me, thinking abt the recent pef commenter who asked if ren was also back in time: h a h

realtalk pef is big and popular enough that i Know there are ppl missing my intentions which is.......... odd. i dont necessarily mind but its still weird. actually ive had this happen on non pef things but it’s still weird u kno. pef is just the most visible one wwwwww

i think the biggest surprise is that................. i don’t like futago half-sibs theory GHLKSDHGLKDHG i kno its p popular in futaba+goro fan circles but like. its so boring to me. adds nothing to their dynamic. so much of ftb’s journey is learning to love her New family (ren n sojiro) and having her suddenly Forgive Akechi for Being Her Half Sib is so weird to me. i think there’s potential to explore the concept in an interesting manner tbh (poitns at a certain doc i got) but like. 99% of the time i dont like it

19.  Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe ‘too often’, trope you can’t get enough of?)

god sometimes almond makes me ctrl+f words that they think pop up in pef and theyre always right. it kills me a little bit. goro sighs a lot. goro bites back sighs a lot. i try to pass some of the things off as stylistic choices but sometimes im just tired

in terms of tropes tho i have a memory loss au for like. every ship ive ever liked. sometimes multiple. im just too embarrassed to ever post but u kno

@ren-amamiyaa and their (he/she?) Golden Heist, Thief Nanako and Cryptid Chaser aus flooded my brain and now Im making this post bc I cant fit all of this in asks!!!

All right, so, idea. Cryptid Chasers, Thief Nanako and Golden Heist are all connected righr???

CC acts as a prequel, TN becomes the inbetween starring Nanako and Akechi, and GH stars a broken and older IT and slightly jaded PT.

So far CC has Yosuke and Naoto forming the brotp that fanon wanted through silly Saturday Night Ghost Chasers Shenanigans, Akiren is bein' a lil shit at midnight bc he needs an outlet and exercise to Phantom Thief. While this goes on, Akechi's ghost/spirit/rement/heart/whatever pulls pranks and shenans along with Joker (hiwever that happens).

As the Cryptid Chasers keep going out of their way to confront Joker about Arsene (bc even he likes to mess around) the other IT in Inaba start to try and stop them from disrupting the peace (read : harassing a known criminal) and this somehow leads to a falling out. Mayhaps Naoto and Yosuke break a few laws and Chie busts them, Kanji wants to know why theyre stalking his student/protege, and Yukiko just wants to keep the rumors about the inn in check bc jfc Yosuke STOP SCREECHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN THE LOBBY THERE IS NO GHOST ON THE TV!

Maybe eventually they call it quits or dont bc Naoto dug this hole too deep to climb out themself and Yosuke is having the time of his life since Partner isnt around and hasn't come back to visit yet (Not sayin' souyo is canon and there but-). And the Cryptid Chasers arc probably ends here with there being some animosity towards their shenanigans , but the IT are all still friends.

Now fast forward to like, uhhh (*flings dart at wall of calendars*) 2014 during winter and Akiren's cryptid acts are now fully accepted and maybe exposed, who knows. Nanako is like 10 ~ 12 (P5 is maybe three/five years post P4 I believe) and is just going through the motions of public education. I.E. go to class, do work, get good grades. Dojima is still the same as he was before Yu came but is at least doing better at being a dad, not much but better. Yosuke and Ted aren't around as much bc Junes, Chie is transferred to Tokyo, Yukiko is busy managing the Inn, and Kanji is busy with work (as a teacher and crafts business owner). Rise unfortunately cant come visit and Big Bro now visits every other year.

Nanako starts to look back and wonder how things started to fall apart amongst the group and recalls that "delinquent" who came back at the same time the Cryptid^tm showed up and ruined the group. So now she starts to remember the good times when Big Bro came by and starts to notice some blanks around winter... Why was she in the hospital when she got kidnapled? Why does she remember these weird flashes of Big Bro and his friends and some monster?? And how come she tried to ask them anything about it they brushed her off each time???

The TV in her room flashes and soon she starts hearing things. She starts to move closer to the tv, as if she was in some sort of trance, as the sounds start to become voices to her. When she's directly infront of the screen she sees something... someone on it...

Nanako doesnt show up for breakast, or to school, and nobody seems to have seen her.

A full year passes on after that day. It starts off with a big search party of the IT and Social Links for the first two months, then after ankther three something stange happens... are people forgetting that Nanako existed or something? Everybody's starting to act like completely different peoplw than who they are too, some even end up hospitalozed due to severe headaches and such, and start claiming that Nanako was never around when she vanished or that she left Inaba or was already deamed dead or missing. This rings alarms in the IT's mimds as they search for answers, eventually all fully reuniting for the first time in years/months.

Naoto and Yosuke blame themselves bc they piece together her disappearance with the Cryptid + Ghost case and immediately get scolded for trying to pin their stupid kids game on a missing person's case - especially now with Nanako missing and possibly in danger again! Afterwards the IT are a bit on edge and a bit broken with the whole thing. Meanwhile Akechi can hear the tale ends of "missing person" and "literal disappearnace" and starts looking into this weird limbo metaverse he's in bc some shit is kinda fucked in here now for some reason. They're pretty much only together as a team to rescue Nanako.

GH in the PTs POV starts when Akiren invites the group to the Amagi Inn thanks to licrative money grin- I mean training. He comes clean into having seen something weird on the tv one late night and wants to let the gang know.

Midnight rolls around and Akechi shows up on the screen and the Thieves losing their shit is an understatement - numerous noise complaints were filed that night. Anyways Akechi decides to just play the role of "hey moron, some shits fucked come help fix it" and ends up informing them of a missing girl and this weird TV Mementos world he is in.

I would like to note that Akechi is not at all bitter or confused at everyone's circumstances in life, no of course not Joker stop crying I know its been a while but shutup theres a kid in trouble rn and youre the only ones who can possibly help her.

When the PT figure out a plan to reach this other world Goro is in (Arsene : THOUARTTHEESTICKYOURHANDINTHETVDOITDOITDOITDOIT) the IT eventually come to the very sad conclusion that Nanako moght be in the TV world and that opens a whole can of worms and burnable bridges to cross.

While in the TV world, I'd like to imagine that due to Akechi having been there for a good while it has been shaped to reflect his heart and be the new overall theme of that world. It all still looks like Inaba, but it all holds themes to Akechi and his no good terrible life. However due to Nanako having been in that world as a kid, and now for an uncertain amount of time, the world now holds motifs to the Heaven area from P4, but it's all sorta ruined and kinda darker.

When both teams get together and enter the weird Tele-Mentos world (IT in a Junes storage and PT at either Ren's pad [bc he moved out obvi] (OR bith teams enter from seperate TVs at the Inn so SHENANS!)) Yu and the IT go through Akechi's influenced world/TV Palace, finding out about his tragic backstory and involvement with the PT, but anything that can and could reveal their true identities is blurred and staticy or missing bc Akechi aint gonna snitch out who ruined his sperm donors life (also I guess saved the world too yeah). While going through the Palace the Team starts to think that finding Goro will just be an "if it happens" sort of deal bc he's been missing for years already, what if we just leave him here bc M U R D E R E R.

Cue a sudden appearance by someone in some sort of fallen angel garb who starts whipping out a full on Metal Gear Villain monologue about how hypocritical the IT are when they find the truth about Akechi's life and disappearance - they claimed to want to live in a world where no one hides in the fig, was that all a lie? Are they going back on their word, and hiding behind a shriud of lies and falsehoods once more? "You've gone and lied and hidden the truth already, what's to say you won't continue?"

Meanwhile Akiren and the Thieves enter at the very top of the Heaven TV Set and have to climb all the way down. As they do so they start seeing little murals or epitaphs about memories and people in this girls life. They see all of these memories of a happy girl who had such a loving family - both found and by blood. As they go further and further down the ruins start to look like an actual Heaven, and the scenary becomes more bright and colorful. Eventually they might run into Crow in his Black Mask clothes and give the bastard a slug on the arm and a group hug or two, bc man he doesn't deserve to suffer anymore like this.

Now that the Phantom Thieves have been reunited (Akechi : I can't leave this world The PT : FUCK, MORE PLOT) they end up thinking up ways to get Akechi out until this weird angel priest looking dude shows up and starts babling about how they are criminals and how they've done more bad than good and blah blah blah. Everyone is just all "We're the good guys, we do the right thing even if its morally grey/ambiguous!" and oh look! Another crazed maniac wants to kill us for our "injustice" *Crow has the decency to look away and not say anything* annnnnnd Heaven is locked off. Perfect.

Now maybe the Phantom Thieves and Investigation Team run into each other somewhere in Akechi's Palace and "You have Personas?!?!" "The hell is a Palace?" "YOU'RE THE CRYPTID OF INABA!!?!?" "And Im the 'Ghost' that follows him." "Wait you followed me as a ghost?" "WAIT WHY ARE THERE TWO AKECHIS??!??!!"

Oh yeah, Shadows... Akechi is still kinda in denial about the whole friends and justice thing...

And now the Dark Priest is back great ("Good name Skull" "Well I've got my moments right?").

Annnnnnnd now I have no idea what happens next and Im all burned out but AAAAAAAAA this entire AU crossover thing is so GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

If I were to write one-shots for side discacc things I wonder what I would even tag it as. Like me contemplating writing ryuji & yusuke snippets. But also I could write other things. N also would I even tag for soulmates au if I did put it in their tag??? Bc it is one but they're Not soulmates. That's the Point. Bc Trope Subversion & w/e, but I feel like there's that expectation that a pairing tagged with that Is the focused pair. Which discacc doesn't discount, since its trope subversion is more in the background pairs & also the way romance isn't Assumed between them (even if that's where it's leading)

Would ryukita shippers be mad at me if I put some one-shots in their tag? Even if they never read the main fic I think a nice festival not-date would be cute to read. 🤔🤔🤔 things to think about i guess

[orcelito]

Im now at 6.9k words (nice) and I'm still not done with scene 1

Screaming

[orcelito]

Hope my comment sections blow up on chapters 28, 29, 30, and 31 bc hoo boy

[orcelito]

In my reread of my fic, I've come to find that it's not entirely seamless. There are a few inconsistencies that exist by virtue of the fact that it's So Big. I feel like things really did move Quickly for them after they met, tho that is balanced by the fact that they've known each other for a Long Time, actually.

Most notably, the fic is getting Better. Like, the futaba arc and on, it's just gotten better and better. Not that the earlier stuff Wasn't good, but just. The way things start to diverge, the way each character is developing, it's all just. Really good. And of course, their relationship is sooo good. It's got depth and it's only growing deeper. I really enjoy it.

[orcelito]

Rly love tagging a thing as slow burn and writing a whole 45k words of them knowing each other and loving each other in a very deep & intimate way, but like, as friends, Bc they’ve never even Seen each other, or heard each other’s voices, and there r Hints of crush but it can’t go into pining until they can actually get to know each other in person and b like ‘ok Wow’

[akechicrimes]

If it's not a bother, I would love to read your director's commentary on "the devil's details", too.

the devil’s details

skjsks it’s not a bother at all!! this has been rly interesting to go back and look thru my old stuff and im glad u like these fics enough to ask ;A;

i honestly don’t know where the opening section of akira’s bus ride came from because i’m usually a dialogue-heavy writer, but for some reason the sort of contemplative mood of someone on a bus for long periods of time just looking out the window, and the pov of not really knowing what akira was thinking at that time, rly hit me so that’s what i wrote

true to the devil’s in the details i spent an ungodly amount of time editing and re-editing that particular segment to make sure that it had all the foreshadowing that i needed...... the majority of the editing after i’d written the ending already LOL

shuake week 2019 was good for me because i dont usually edit but i finished a lot of these fics before the due date so i was forced to reread them and edit them LOL

i have NO idea where i got the go-chan nickname KJSKSJK 

i remember the dialogue section was a huge mess to write... i wrote little bits and pieces of quippy dialogue that i liked, i threw around bullet points of what everyone was concerned about (kirijo, shido, the other phantom thieves, the napkin), i wrote one-off lines and really struggled to put it into a coherent order..... there was a lot of stuff being juggled all at once and it felt like a puzzle trying to arrange them in the right order........ there was a lot of wasted material for that section alone that i had to throw away

once the first half of goro’s dialogue section was in order the part about akira’s future fantasy came really easily LOL but that section was actually a complete surprise to me..... i wrote the fic with the end reveal in mind (that the kirijo group wanted to recruit goro), but it was only after i started thinking through the logistics that shido’s organization would still be around, that goro might not think that he’d live very long, etc etc that i realized that i had to do something about that sense of hopelessness before he’d ever take kirijo up on that offer, so that’s where akira’s extremely horny fantasy came from skjskjsks

i dont know why there’s such an emphasis on the rituals and the deliberate care that akira puts into all the little actions he does every month to visit goro except i think i liked the idea that akira would put such formal care and dedication and attention to going out of his way to make sure he sees goro every month

ask for the director’s cut on a fic i’ve written
