absolutely LOVE hiraeth and everything about them! their lore has me so invested and i love how you have and talk about it! quick question if you don’t mind, but how did you come up with hiraeth’s lore? i’m currently working on a group and their lore so i would love some advice/tips from the loremaster themselves! have a good day/night!

aaaaaaa! u have no idea how happy this ask makes me because not only is their lore is my pride and joy, but it just makes me soooo happy to know that someone is enjoying my group! :D also, loremaster? that made me giggle and kick my feet, not gonna lie... and of course i wouldn’t mind, it actually flatters me that ur asking me. :) i’ll put all the yapping under a read more so i don’t disturb the dash, but if you have more questions or an @ to drop (because i need to know what u are cooking), just let me know, either in dms or here.

before i start, i just want to mention (and sorry if i sound like a broken record to those who skim through my yapping posts) that i created hiraeth because a friend and i thought it’d be fun to throw our ship into an idol au. you could say that hiraeth and their lore grew from that ship, as we thought it would be fun if there was a kind of “call and response” theory between the two groups. while this didn't really need to be said, some of hiraeth’s essence definitely comes from the little world we built together.

finding a group name that fit was essential, i think. when my friend and i started brainstorming, i only had a rough idea of what i wanted, which was a mix of red velvet, loona, dreamcatcher, exo, and aespa. i wanted angels! garden of eden! magical girls! a group that was deemed as a cult! some horror! the concept of the two sides of the same coin! more than what meets the eye! but funny enough, i didn’t really see the whole picture until i finally settled on the name hiraeth. the word means a homesickness for a feeling you can’t return to, a feeling that maybe never was. that’s when i realized i wanted hiraeth to capture not exactly my initial ideas, but i wanted the meaning to actually make sense, so my idea started to expand until i finally settled into what i have now. and i’m sure my ideas will keep expanding as time goes on!

i was also inspired by my two ults, red velvet and loona, especially loona’s unit yyxy. and, yes, i 100% admit i was deep in those loonaverse reddits trying to get a feel for what i wanted because i wanted something like that. my lore started out very similar to theirs, just with some changes because who was going to check me! only my friend and i knew about the group so i could totally get away with it! but, as some may know, i got really attached to the idea of them and the potential of their lore, and as time went on and i got a clearer idea of what i wanted (thanks to pinterest, video games, photography/photoshoots, books, tiktok edits, music, my ship, and even the bible and no i'm not joking), their lore slowly started to evolve into whatever i have going on. don’t be harsh on urself if ur “base” idea isn’t as developed as u'd like or if it’s similar to something ur taking inspiration from, u just need to let the creative juices do their thing, even if it takes time.

another tip: always write down ur ideas, and if something makes u think, “oh! this would fit into their lore!” immediately jot it down, so u can look back at it and find a way to work it in. for example, hiraeth is a little bit of everything i’ve enjoyed or found interesting in literally everywhere, even if it has nothing to do with the idol scene or the girls themselves— let it be a quote or a video game arc or even just a single picture. everything is an inspiration if u look close enough.

now, poppy, kaia, and yvan are characters i’m really attached to (especially poppy) since they’ve been with me for a very long time. so, i thought it’d be really fun if their lore actually mirrored their actual personalities and struggles, like a subtle reflection of their thoughts, actions, pasts, secrets, and their current life that is being showcased to everyone in the eyes of an overly-exaggerated visage of themselves. obviously, the lore is really extra and not literal but their actual essence is there, you know? almost as if they are building up their own fantasy book with themselves as main characters! their fans can’t pick up on any of this because they don’t know the girls deeply, but… little spoiler, i guess? i don’t know if this makes sense so i will show some little examples below:

summer realizes that she, spring, and winter can almost become god-like once they begin to "sin," leading them down a path she believes is "better" for them. but she doesn’t fully see that some paths might not be the best, as their sins (especially hers) cast a shadow over them, keeping her from thinking it all through and sometimes getting them in trouble—on the other hand, kaia sees that she and her members could achieve so much more once nari is out of the picture. as their leader, she earns their trust by guiding them to see beyond the empty promises of an abusive management that didn’t care for them the way she did. yet, they’re still being held back as a sense of guilt looms over them and their careers, making every move feel risky. this burden falls the heaviest on kaia, who made a drastic choice for the sake of herself and her members.

spring feels stuck, with no real desire to “bloom” after things went wrong the first time she “sinned.” she feels the urge to make a change and stir the ship, but hesitates to the point of doing nothing—versus poppy, who feels trapped as an idol facing high expectations, especially as a chronically ill woman carrying deep trauma. though she doesn’t particularly like being in the spotlight, she remains in the “safe” zone because it feels like the only secure option, and it is because she does a really good job at her job because if she’s going to be forced to do something, then she’s going to be the best at it.

winter treats everything as a joke, believing that everything will always go their way because they’ve been convinced that they’re the "center of the universe." that is, until spring’s warmth reaches them, revealing that not everything is perfect and that there’s more to life outside their own bubble—versus yvan, whose high popularity and top-tier status changed how they see the world. however, yvan has been learning that things won’t always go their way, and that support won’t always be there. poppy herself is a reminder that someone “better” will always be around, even if many hold yvan higher than her. random but i loooooooove their relationship because it’s a whole always an angel, never a god situation.

the ‘aengel cult’ started when the angels left behind their old doctrines, preaching individuality, self-love, and self-expression instead of sharing words that didn’t resonate within themselves—versus hiraeth’s fans, who are deemed a cult because of their intense loyalty towards them, but also because of how fucking defensive they are towards the aes because the music, the concept, their vibes, and the girls themselves are TWE GOOD not to defend! they are not as insane as *rmys / bl*nks / st*ys though… they are pretty funny and just don’t take anything seriously but when someone calls The Never Has Flopped Group a Flop…

and yes, i know. that is really fucking extra and literally this is something u literally didn't ask, but that’s what makes creating lore fun! be extra!!!!!!! do ur own little twist if that’s what u want!!!!! don’t limit yourself and overthink it, friend! it’s your group and your lore, so have some fun and do whatever you want <3

ALSO A LITTLE REMINDER! it literally took me a year to feel content with their lore, so don’t rush it. the creative juices will come to u eventually. :)

WHEN U DROP UR GROUP LET ME KNOW PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! i really hope all this yapping made sense and that it helped u. :) if not i’m really sorry…………….. 🙏

#⸺ ＃ æ. ❯ asks.#one day i will be able to reply to an ask normally without going blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah #like at some point i lore dropped i need to shut up omgggggggggggggggg #⸺ ＃ æ. ❯ lore.

This is unrelated but the empath Hakuba post is helping cook up ideas for the mixing of my playthrough of Master Detective Archives: Raincode and my interest in Detective Conan! Basically within the game there are Master Detectives that have supernatural powers that help with investigation and I've been thinking about what kind of powers the detectives of Detective Conan would have!

To maybe help with this separate power au, here are some of the powers that Master Detectives in Raincode have!

Post-Cognition: The ability to look into the past. It's specifically used to see the crime scene as it was when it was first discovered with exception of seeing anything living. There are various in-lore reasons for the limitations that I won't go into here

Audio Aptitude: When the user concentrates they can hear just about any noise such as footsteps, breathing, and heartbeats.

Disguise: The user can make a perfect disquise of anyone. This does however put a big strain on their body so it can't last long

Coalescence: The user can share abilities with others as long as the other person allows it and is holding their hand. This is a 2 way street!

And that's all the powers I can think that sound cool. I haven't finished the game so there is probably some cooler power I don't know about yet lol. Anyways hopefully this can grease some gears for this power au thing!

Hi! I’ve never heard of this game but it sounds fun! And you know I am all for slightly supernatural dcmk AUs 😎

I think out of the powers you mentioned, they would fit the Gosho boys as follows:

Shinichi would get Post-Cognition, since he’s already so skilled at evaluating the crime scenes and working backwards—it would really help him out on investigations

Hakuba would get Audio Aptitude. I think that that power would be helpful catching thieves and it matches well with his fondness for timekeeping—he could always hear the tick of his watch

Kaito gets Disguise. Need I say more?

I would give Coalescence to Heiji. He’s so hands-on and I think he could get really creative with a power like this!

Thank you for your ask!

#asks!

I proposed a silly AU idea of mafia king Reo and trophy husband Nagi to Esztell, and now I’m cooking a new AU series-

As if I didn’t have one already goin with Unsad lmao (that one’s gonna link to a Hiorin fic I have and a Ryusae fic too, as well as a few other Itoshi brother fics)

Anyways, I’m using this post as a way to share my ideas rn

So we’ve got Six Months to Get Better, or I Destroy Myself, which is almost done

It’s currently being extended because I got a new idea and decided to fit it into a chapter, which is why the update is taking forever lmao

I estimate about 3 more chapters to go (depending on if I get new ideas or not) and the epilogue

For those who don’t know, this fic is rated E but not for nsfw, but instead for depictions of depression, self harm, and suicide

It’s lowkey a vent fic focused on Reo, but it will have a happy ending because I can’t write sad endings for fanfics

Then there’s In The Next Room, which is also almost finished and has 3 chapters left

This is an E rated fic (this time for nsfw reasons) featuring ReoNagi, thin walls, streamer Nagi, and a strangers to lovers plot line

It has a planned sequel of the story from Reo’s perspective (that one is called Feel Good)

Both of the titles are from Neon Trees songs because they’re one of my favourite bands and oftentimes my ideas come to me while listening to music

After that, I’ve got a Hiorin fic where Rin has insomnia

I haven’t worked on it in a while and I’m not sure when it’ll be posted because it’s a long fic and I’ve already got two going, but it’s special to me and it will eventually be posted, I swear-

It’s in the same universe as Unsad (my Itoshi brothers oneshot) and goes into Rin’s mind after Sae is out of the picture

It starts right before the U-20 match and majority of it will take place over the break from bllk

I also got a Ryusae fic that’s in the same universe, which takes place at the same time as the insomnia AU

Shidou and Sae actually get to know each other over the break and Shidou inadvertently helps Sae with the Rin situation

There’s a few other baby plot ideas I have for Itoshi brother stories from their childhood, but I’ve gotta reconsider a lot of them with the new chapters that came out (new flashbacks give me new ideas) so imma stay quiet about those ones for now

I got a sequel to my sfw omegaverse storyline in the works-

Idk how many people actually were interested in that one, but I liked writing it and I can’t shut off my brain when it has an idea

I ALSO got a vampire Kainess fic cooking too!!!

I’m so hyped about this one honestly, I gotta go back to writing it again because I fuckin love vampires and I have so much lore for them in my head that I can’t wait to share through this story

It’s got like, vampires obviously, and it’ll go in 7 stages I think of their relationship evolving and Kaiser growing into a better person over the course of the story

I have a couple of Bachisagi fics in my drafts, but none of them are really sound enough to share the plots of

Same with a couple of Sae centric fics I have in the drafts as well

Then there’s my request fics

I have a Hiorin fic that I’m working on where they go out shopping (I’m planning on having some inner child healing within that fic)

And I also have a Tabiori fic with the soulmate trope, still trying to decide which type of soulmate I’ll go with however

Aaaaand I have another one-

Kunigiri fic this time, and it takes place in the world of the TV show Supernatural

I don’t wanna say too much about this one because it has some plot twists I don’t wanna spoil, but I will say that I’ve been having fun making up lore for creatures that are based on Japanese folklore and yokai, because while I’m setting it in the United States, I really wanna incorporate more influence from Japan (and I’m lowkey obsessed with the kappa because I enjoy water and swamp creatures, and it spiraled from there)

I have a few ideas for Team Red centric fics

I also have another ReoNagi fic that’s already drafted, but that I haven’t fully fallen in love with yet so I might go back to fix it (it’s a childhood friends AU)

I also have an idea for a Hiorin fic, where they are serial killers because why not

It could be fun

This is same universe as that mafia king Reo idea all the way at the top-

AND THEN

I have a Percy Jackson AU idea that’s also somewhat drafted within discord messages to Esztell

This one is planned to be a LONG fic so it’ll be a while until I post this one-

I think that’s all my ideas soooooo yeah

If anyone wants to request a fic or a drawing, go right ahead and send me one in the inbox on my page :3

I’m always looking for new ideas because I hop between them whenever I get bored of one idea to give myself a refresh

#bllk #blue lock #emmies ideas #emmie rambles #idk I just felt like sharing my ideas #requests are still open #the rules for requests are linked on my Ao3 page

omg omg omg i saw your mp100 pokemon au and i think its already amazing... please talk more about it lore wise? :333

also serizawa NEEDS a dog pokemon. I dont know Which but he needs one

and i want to ask how would Touchiro treat his pokemons? like. I cant see him treating them Well but I want to know your thoughts on this

honestly for now this au is mostly me and some friends having fun and cooking random things, so i haven’t put as much thought into lore. my general idea so far is that mob would be going on a Pokemon Journey- except, he doesn’t really like battling much, so he’s mostly just running errands for reigen (and sometimes checking in on ritsu, who is doing a traditional “go battle all the gym leaders” journey).

a dog pokemon for serizawa is a great idea- i’m liking herdier for him right now, and maybe a vulpix that he picked up after leaving claw (remember: foxes are dogs because they are fluffye)

toichirou and his pokemon is something that i’ve been looking at! considering how he treated the claw members, i’d say that toichirou would be like a power gamer- big on strategy, big on numbers, big on using the Best Pokemon and having the Strongest Team. he doesn’t actively treat his team Poorly, but if a pokemon is of no use to him, he’s more than fine with sacrificing it or abandoning it.

#ask!!#weirdinhumans!!#mp100 pokemon au #also as i was looking up dog pokemon for serizawa i realized i need to give ritsu an absol #and yeah toichirou’s kind of just an Asshole. like he’s the evil team leader but more to the point he’s a huge dick

A loophole in the rules

This is pure unhinged shit. I decided to leave it on a cliff hanger just for some fun and bc holy shit I’ve been picking at this for a good while now, lol. And, just a reminder for any new people this draws in! This is a fic where the characters of the cast are aged up to 18. Think of it as an AU where Soma gets into tohtsuki later and the cast are all shuffled to be in school together or something.

It doesn’t really matter, just know everyone here is an adult, this is just dumb fun for me based on an idea I had while watching the anime. Just, enjoy. Don’t take it too seriously lol. Which, I also say because if...something in the lore is fucky wucky, again, AU. Also, ignore the vague OC, he's just there for plot. Just like this is to exercise Kuga from my fucking BRAIN.

Tohtsuki academy, the pinnacle of culinary learning. Large, cut-throat, and so expensive, that its alumni had to have generational wealth to afford the entrance fee, let alone the tuition. So, to anyone on the outside of the towering wooden gates, they wouldn’t have been amiss for the assumption that everyone who attended were little more than spoiled, snobby rich kids and tightly wound elitists. The school culture should have been nothing but the highest expectations, perfectionism, and perfectly trained politicians-to-be.

And yes, there were plenty of kids like that. Who looked down on the poor and laughed at anything below wagyu quality ingredients. However, anyone who actually attended the school knew the truth.

That in reality, the school was far more akin to the wild west than some manicured garden of marble statues. After all, the place was damn near run by ten kids from the age of 15-18, with the entire school body given the option of a challenge where they could demand just about anything as a reward for a good dish.

Which, for you, a normal, sane senior of Tohtsuki academy, created a great amount of entertainment options after the day’s classes. Especially ever since you began talking to a man named Daichi. Aka, basically your boyfriend.

Eighteen, like yourself, with a love of cooking and food akin to a frenzied shark’s hunger, Daichi was a very loud, confident man. Which, is what had drawn you to him a month or so back when he swaggered up to you on your way to your weekend club meeting. Along with the fact that he was just, cute, and seemed to have a soft spot for you. Which, felt sort of nice when he was known for being an aggressive, food-wars-happy delinquent.

He was fun, energetic, and down to earth for someone as wealthy as he was. It was a breath of fresh air for you after a handful of other rich, snobby rich boys with no concept of being anything but a stiff, judgemental brat.

However, you could also admit that he was a bit petty, vengeful, and fell on the more entitled and elitest side of the Tohtsuki academy culture. Hell, you and him weren’t even that serious, yet he still got offended when he found out you had gotten paired up with the eighth seat of the council of ten. As if you not only had power over who you shared a class with, and who your teacher assigned as project partners.

Which, on one hand, you could understand. Kuga Terunori was not only one of the school’s ten mafia bosses, but he was generally considered to be quite an attractive man. So, you couldn’t entirely be mad that Daichi felt a bit threatened that you spent a good amount of time with the pretty boy. On the other hand, though, it was still unbearably petty to be sour over the fact that your work station for a class was next to Kuga’s, and that you dared to say hi to him when you guys were in class. Regardless of the logic you could see behind it, though, you still couldn’t bring yourself to deny that your boyfriend was...a bit trigger happy with the food wars.

Honestly, how has the ten not put a cap on the food wars a single student can demand? How has nobody just wagered Daichi’s expulsion yet?You mused one sunny day, your classes done for the day and your left over chocolate charlotte cake sat on the bench beside you. Forgotten in it’s tupperware in favor of the class notes you tried to study in the soft spring air. Honestly, he’s stupid lucky no one who’s beat his ass has done that. Or, that he’s gotten his ass beat in the literal sense. Wait, I’m kind of dating him, is that bad to think?

Yet, you didn’t get much of a chance to mull over what that simple thought might have meant for you and Daichi before a shadow fell onto the page of your notebook and stubbornly stayed there. Which, drew your eyes up to the man that stood with his hands on his hips and a smug smirk on his lips. “Uh, hi Kuga. What brings you around these parts?” You asked, your posture quickly straightened as you tried to meet the man’s peachy brown eyes. Which, in the warm light of the afternoon, turned a lovely pink color. “Hi!” He said in the chipper voice you had quickly realized was used to either mock, or endear the dual-haired man to people. Which, instantly made you scan the man over for any tell-tale signs of ill intention.

Which, gave you an excuse to take in the pink hue of his eyes, and the fluffy puff of sunflower blonde bangs that framed his fair face and almost distracted from the rest of his carefully unkempt chocolate-colored hair. but also allowed you to notice that he smelled like a weird, almost off-putting combination of cinnamon-sandalwood cologne and the permanent scent of sichuan peppercorns that had long since seeped into the fibers of his dark-blue school blazer and pants. But, didn’t give away any clues for why the council member was in front of you with his arms crossed and a smirk on his lips. “Uh...may I help you, sir?” You asked in the hopes that the prompt would. Actually get a response from the chipper man. “Oh, I just wanted to invite you to a food war, that’s it.” He said, the bright tone still in his voice, “Why?” “Because I feel like you should be there. I also sort of, y’know, just want you there.” He said simply, and you got the strong sense that he was less asking, and more informing. And, with his seat on the ten, you knew, that he knew, you didn’t get the option to refuse. So, you sighed, “Alright, when is this food wars? And, uh, why did you want me there?” “Oh, you’ll see! And it’s right now, so come on!” He sang, his tone suddenly back to the bright and sunny facade before he grabbed your hand and pulled you towards the school’s arena. Where, you simply had to hope you’d get the answers you so desperately craved.

But, those answers wouldn’t be from Kuga Terunori, because the moment you crossed the threshold, he let you go with a simple, “Get to the front of the crowd, ‘kay?~” sang back at you as he trotted off towards the green rooms where those who were going to duel awaited the official start of the match.

Maybe I should just walk out. You mused as you followed the flow of the crowd to the stadium seats. Where, you debated doing as asked and sitting in the front, or going to the back. In the end, you chose not to go against a man as short as Kuga, so you stayed near the guard rail that protected the student audience from falling into the brightly lit arena below.

Which, was good, because while the arena was used almost exclusively for food wars, the floor was still a waxed wood type of floor akin to what you’d see in a normal gymnasium. Which, meant that a fall from the high bleachers would not end softly. And, with how dark the large open floor was, if you landed wrong in the thick shadows that the artificial light didn’t illuminate, nobody in the crowd, judge’s bench, or the contestants at the temporary cooking stations would see you until the lights all came on. But, all of that threat did little to dissuade the crowd of girls when Terunori finally emerged, soon followed by a more familiar figure.

Fucking daichi you dumb shit. What did you bargain to get Kuga to agree to this stunt? You thought as you leaned against the cool metal of the fence. And, while the judges began to explain the theme and the general challenge that Daichi, your aggressive, loud-mouthed boyfriend had thrown at the eighth seat of the council of ten, you looked the pair over.

To start, Daichi wore the classic chef whites, only smudged with the faded, light stains of his chaotic cooking style. His hair was kept firmly from his face so that it stayed out of his eyes, and he had a smug smile to match the shorter Kuga’s own grin. And, of course, Kuga was equally as dressed up for the event. Though, instead of the french-style chef’s whites, Kuga had on a white changshen, or maybe changshen-inspired? You couldn’t be sure, with gold at the hems. And, unlike Daichi, his outfit didn’t have a speck of sauce or food on it. He must somehow bleach that thing after every battle. “-And as a reward for winning, uh...apparently Daichi’s...girlfriend?” fucking what?

(Loki x Reader Medieval AU)

Chapter Summary: Time to meet Asgard!

Warnings: Mentions of war,

Word Count: 3,259k

A/N: I’m having a lot of fun figuring out how this world works and figuring out the lore! Let me know what you guys think!

Masterlist

"Do you know when your brother and Lord Strange will arrive?" Wanda asked as she folded the sheets of your bed.

"With any luck, between today and tomorrow." You answered, absentmindedly turning a page of the book Loki had given you.

It was a most interesting read. It reminded you a lot of Victor Hugo's, Les Miserables. However, this wasn't fiction about a revolution in one of the provinces of Midgard. This was based on a true story of 6 people's lives who intertwined and ended in a tragedy.

How the author had come about the documents to write this story left you utterly baffled. It was so descriptive, so precise, that she must have been an eyewitness.

But the fact is that upfront, she had said that this was based on a story from the beginning of Asgard's ascent as a kingdom. She wasn't alive then, you had rushed to the library to confirm that after finishing the third chapter.

It was a beautifully written piece of history and literature.

"I take it prince Peter will be excited to see you."

Oh, right. You should probably pay attention to what Wanda is saying.

"I think so too. He had that look on his face, you know?" You placed your book on your lap, a leather bookmark in the place where you had left off. "Kind of like when I would leave him in the library when he was very little. Like I wasn't going to come back."

A small pressure was on your chest. A sense of longing for those older days. When you were a teen and the worst of your worries was a good posture for Pepper and a charming smile for your father.

"Well, to be fair you did threaten him a couple of times with doing so if he didn't behave." Your friend laughed.

"That I did!" You laughed alongside her.

When it died down, you looked at the red-head earnestly. "How long has it been since we spent an afternoon together?"

She pursed her lips, thinking back. "With all that's been going on... I would believe at least a month."

You clapped your hands, with newfound resolution. "Well, since the Asgardians seem to think I am just a walking trophy, let us spend one evening together."

"But, don't you have to meet up with prince Loki tomorrow?" A bit of worry was on her voice.

"Of course, but he said he was going to be busy for the rest of the day and I am far beyond the chapters he proposed." You smile, a flare of mischief in your chest.

Wanda, quick on her feet, fluttered over to where you sat by your window with excitement and sat next to you.

"What are we to do, then?"

"Whatever we wish for, my friend."

"Are you sure this is it?" Sigyn asked the red-head in front of her.

"Yes, Lady Sigyn. These are all of the loaves." He cleaned his hands in his apron.

About 100 loaves of bread were sitting on the counter in front of her. Maybe she should have brought more baskets.

"Alright... I might need to make a couple of trips, Kassian" She smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, you don't have to worry!" He walked towards her, starting to place some of the loaves in a huge basket that you could strap to your bag. "I'll help."

She rushed forwards, "No, please don't!" He looked back at her with curiosity. "I know your father is usually busy around this hour, I wouldn't want you getting in trouble my dear friend."

"Don't worry! I've helped some of the other servants before, it will be no problem!"

His smile was kind, and although she was still a bit hesitant, in the end, Sigyn nodded and began helping Kassian pack all of the loaves.

The hike back up the castle was much easier with the help of the friendly baker. Walking along the narrow streets and up the stairs that led to the kitchen, both quickly made it to their destination without much chatter.

"Thank you, Kassian."

"It was my pleasure." He seemed to smile a lot.

"I'll go by later to pick up my own order for the week. Is that okay?" She asked as she unloaded the bread from the make-shift backpack.

He nodded. "Of course! You know you are always welcome home."

Soon after finishing the unloading, they said a quick goodbye, and Kassian scurried out of the palace. Sigyn began humming a tune as she stocked the cabinets that held the bread, and taking out the older ones.

It's not that they were moldy, in fact, the oldest bread in the palace was only three days old. But by order of the king, they had to restock every single day on many things. That included bread.

"Was that Kassian just now?" Sigyn heard a voice entering the room.

"Yes. He helped me carry some of the bread up here." She said, turning to find Astrid, the head baker, standing there.

Despite her young age, she was one of the best bakers that Asgard had ever seen.

"That's quite nice of him. Usually, his father is too busy, or in too much pain to help the one in charge of bringing it."

"That's a shame."

In fact, this was the first time Sigyn had ever gone to pick up bread. She wasn't part of the cooks, so she usually didn't have anything to do with the kitchen except taking the dishes. But since Princess Stark had her own assistant, she had found that she didn't really have much to do. Each morning, when she came by, Wanda had already prepared you and there was not much left for her to do. You were an early bird, that much was for sure.

But she needed her mind occupied. Otherwise, she felt as if a dark void would consume her with despair.

"Your majesty?" Sigyn suddenly heard Astrid squeak, and she turned to find you and Wanda, your assistant frozen in the middle of the kitchen. As if you were two children being caught doing something they should be doing.

"Hello!" You chirped. "We were just- Does this door lead to town?"

Both your maid and the baker looked at you in surprise. "Well, yes. But, your majesty-!"

"Ah! Wonderful. Then shall we go on Wanda?" You pulled on her arm trying to coerce her to keep moving.

"A-Ah. Yes! Let us go." She said and you both scurried off through the door and down the passage.

Astrid turned to Sigyn, concern obvious on her face. "What are we to do?"

Sigyn furrowed her brow. She had to admit that even though you had been kind to her, she didn't have a certain resentment towards you. After all, you were the one that was going to marry her beloved. Even if you had no say in the matter.

It should have been her, not you.

"I do not know. But it would serve them right if they get in trouble. They should not go out unaccompanied."

Astrid seemed to descent into panic as the seconds ticked by. "But we saw them leave! If something happens to them, don't you think the king could hold us responsible for not saying anything or accompanying them!?"

Sigyn drew in a deep breath. Despite her personal biases she had to admit that getting in trouble with the king was probably not the best idea.

"I shall follow them. I will offer them to act as a guide. If we are not back by sundown, call for an audience with Prince Loki. He will act right away."

Astrid nodded, and then she proceeded to head out the small door to keep an eye on your little escapade.

You and Wanda were "sneaking" past the guards. In all honestly, you were just stumbling around in a fit of giggles. But you were having fun, so you didn't mind that your cover might be blown.

"Your majesty?" Speaking of.

You turned to find a stern-looking Sigyn standing behind you. "Oh, hello! How are you doing?" You smiled, a bead of sweat rolling down your neck.

"Your majesty, I'm sorry to say this but you two shouldn't be here alone." She completely ignored your question.

"You do not have to worry, my dear. We'll be fine."

"I must disagree. You two are strangers in the land and know very little of the streets and people of Asgard." She tried to interject. "Besides, I could get in trouble with the king."

"He doesn't have to know." You smiled at her, mischievously.

"But he will. And if something happens to you and he finds that I let you go out unaccompanied, I will be in deep trouble with him and the prince." She stepped closer to you two.

You turned to look at Wanda who gave you a look, as if to say, listen to her.

"If you must insist, then we'll be happy if you acted as our guide." You chirped.

The blonde seemed to want to sigh, she had a look on her face as if she had to keep it together. Her expression changed as soon as it was there and she plastered on a pleasant smile.

"Of course." She held up some dark fabric towards you. "But you must wear these."

"Cloaks?" Wanda asked as she took the items.

"To better conceal your identity. We would not want bandits to be hot on our trail, would we?" She asked, seemingly with a reasonable expression, but you could feel how little patience she had just judging by her posture. She didn't want to be here.

You just smiled kindly at her and wrapped the cloak around your shoulders. "Of course not. Thank you very much, Sigyn."

"Oh, how precious!" Wanda was inspecting the jewelry that a vendor was offering to her.

The bustling market was alive in its own way. Vendors yelled for the attention of the passing costumers. People went to and fro about their daily lives. The smell of spices and fish was seeping through the air. Corridors that led to other parts of town were decorated by hanging clothing. Kids rushed through the streets, chasing each other at play.

It was absolutely mesmerizing.

"Thank you so much, my dear, for accompanying us." You spoke to Sygin who stood by your side as you inspected the textiles that the lady was trying to sell to you. They were very pretty, maybe you could make something to keep yourself occupied in the upcoming weeks.

"No need, your majesty. It is my duty." She responded, dryly.

"Ah. Your duty." That was a word that had been thrown around a lot lately, wasn't it? "I understand how I must seem."

She turned to look at you with a puzzled expression. "Pardon me?"

You paid for a couple of yards of fabric and the lady placed it on a bag for you, which proceeded to rest under your arm. Then you began to wander again, a confused Sigyn still following you close.

"How I and my companion must look like in your eyes, of course." You began. "A pair of strangers drawing entertainment from the peasantry."

"I-I don't-"

"It's alright. I've heard it all before," You winked at her and flexed your arm. "I'm a tough girl."

That seemed to relax her since a confused breathy laugh left her lips.

"Wanda and I used to do this all the time back home. Asgard and Midgard are not quite that different in that regard." Your eyes wandered throughout the bustling area. It filled you with homesickness, while at the same time, it felt eerily similar.

"You must miss your home." Sigyn offered timidly.

"Very much. Being with the people was something I always loved to do. It is where I belong. Not among the royalty, and the fancy parties, and dances."

Sigyn saw something in your eyes, something fiery as you uttered your next words.

"My place has always been with my people. On the battlefield and in the streets is where I feel most at home."

"On the battlefield?"

She couldn't place you on a battlefield. She just couldn't. You, with a gentle smile and patient retorts? With a fancy dress and gliding through the dancing hall? In bed curled up with a book or in the market with fabric under your arm? She just couldn't.

But your gaze told her it was true. There had been a hidden fire in your eyes, behind your politeness, that she immediately saw through. Because she had learned to see it on someone else.

Loki...

"You don't know, do you?"

Sigyn shook her head. The war between Midgard and Jotunheim wasn't a wide known conflict. Everyone knew that Asgard and Jotunheim weren't exactly friends, but Midgard never was something considered in the equation when discussing the subject.

You pointed to a nearby bench where both of you could sit down and Wanda would be able to see you and sat together.

"Ever since my grandfather was a child, the war against the Jotuns has been in motion. That is four different generations. Maybe five. That have been submitted to an ongoing conflict." You began. "The battles haven't been many, but the ones that have occurred have been terribly gruesome."

Sigyn remained silent, it wasn't every day that a princess got to tell you her firsthand experiences.

"I, myself, have been able to be on the strategy meetings and helped keep trespassers off the city limits. Even if that meant getting my hands dirty." You continued. "I remember the first time I came face to face with the enemy. I was probably around... fifteen years old..."

The material of your cloak brushed against your hands, the snow and wind blowing past you as you ran across the mostly empty streets of the desolate town.

You sneaked past the ten where your dad was with his counsel, Steve following you close by. He kept guard beside you as you whispered into the ear of the man in front of the tent that was right next to your dad's. He looked at you with suspicion, but you were the princess so he allowed you passage.

"Come on!" You pulled Steve behind you.

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" He asked, worry in his expression.

"Of course! It'll show my father how serious I am about all this stuff!" You beamed at him as you turned to grab one of the crates full of fresh food.

You grunted and struggled as you tried to lift it. "H-Hhgk!"

Steve chuckled behind you. "Need help?" He asked kindly, but with smugness in his voice.

You pouted in his general direction. "No! I'm fine!"

He grabbed one of the handles of the crates and with little effort he lifted it. You directed him a pointed look but grabbed the other handle with both your hands.

"Better?"

"Oh, hush." You teasingly glared at him.

Walking backward, you exited the tent. Crate separating the two of you. Those distributing the crates of supplies seemed apprehensive of letting the princess do heavy-duty, but after insisting they had no choice but to comply.

They pointed towards a rundown house and said you could take the crate to that family. After wobbling all the way over there, you knocked on the door.

A lady in raggedy clothes and with a child on her arms and another one standing by her side opened the door.

"Who are you?" She asked, apprehensive.

"This a delivery from the palace, ma'am. Some supplies for you and your family. We know the northern families have been going through a lot, so we brought this for all of you!" You beamed at her.

She looked at the crate and back at you in disbelief. "W-Wait... Are you...?"

"I am like you." You cut her off. When people made it about you being a princess annoyed you. "And since I can help I wanted to bring this to your family!"

She seemed on the verge of tears. "T-Thank you... Your majesty, thank you..."

"It is our pleasure." A voice behind you spoke up. You tensed up at the sound of it.

The woman took the crate inside with Steve's help, and then you felt a tug on your arm. Just as you suspected, you found your father when you spun around.

"What are you doing out here on your own, young lady?"

"I'm not alone. Steve is here." You tried to excuse yourself.

"Sorry, that doesn't work with me. Missy, in case you haven't noticed we're in the middle of a war zone. You shouldn't be outside without supervision." He spoke with controlled frustration.

"We're not in any danger, I swear!" You tried to convince him. "I just wanted to help..."

He kneeled down to your level. "I know kitten. But you can't go away without me knowing." Steve exited the house and you heard him say goodbye to the lady behind you. "If anything were to happen to you, or Pete I-"

He didn't have time to finish, around you the horrors of war suddenly displayed.

A surprise attack...

...

You stayed silent. The words were in the tip of your tongue but for some reason, they seemed to have gotten stuck there. They wouldn't come out.

But then again.

Who likes talking about the horrors of war?

You took in a deep breath. "I never saw that woman again. The soldier in front of the tent of supplies died too."

Sigyn seemed shocked. Like a dam of emotions had opened up. "Y-Your majesty... I-I-"

"You don't have to say anything. It was a long time ago." You reassured her. "And besides, if anything it helped me realize what was at stake. Who our enemy was. Who I was protecting."

You pulled down the hood of your cape and showed her a scar at the nape of your neck. It was ugly and you knew it, but you wanted her to see it. "This is a reminder of that day. Helps me keep my eyes on the prize."

Sigyn had seen it, but you usually kept it concealed with makeup.

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

Pulling your hood back up again you smiled. "I rather have you as an ally more so than an enemy. And for that I want you to know my intentions. I know that the lower classes tend to mistrust royalty. And you correct in doing so. Many in power are greedy and could care less for the people. But I want to help, and if you help me I'll be able to do so."

She looked at you with skepticism. "What do you want?"

A smirk was painted across your face, clever girl for not trusting in your every word. "I was told by someone that the wolves tend to feed each other with gossip. And I would be fully interested in finding out what's being said behind closed doors."

A second passed, then another. An informant. But could she...

"And what would I gain?"

"What would you like?"

Loki. Was her first thought, but she couldn't really say that now, could she?

"Could I come back to you on that?"

"Of course." You agreed, "After all, we ladies need to help each other, right?" You took her hands in companionship.

Sigyn laughed, it felt like you two were conspiring or something of the sort.

You really weren't what she was expecting, were you?

OOUGGH IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THINKING ABOUT SEA OF THIEVES HLVRAI AU... PLEASE !!!! PLEASE PLEASE SHARE UR IDEAS I WANNA HEAR THEM SO BAD

OHHH ANON YOU HAVE SAVED MY FUCKING LIFE WITH THIS ASK THANK YOU SO MUCH

SO !! i barely have anything yet bc i just had this fucking brain blast like an hour ago but. here are my Thoughts so far:

so the very first thing i tried to think of was like. what everyone is? i did my best w this but i am so fuckin open to ideas..... i don’t know shit!

the easiest answer right off the bat was who the humans are (or at least the pirates who appear to be human) in this. we got the science team as the pirate crew—gordon, tommy, bubby, and coomer! they are sailing the seas and maybe they are not doing a very good job of it but it’s fine. it’s Fine

the second easiest answer was benrey’s situation. we got skeletons fuck yeah. benrey got some of that curse uh oh! however w benrey’s situation that’s more like... sometimes being a skeleton rather than just steadily turning into one, i thought maybe the curse fucked up on him? maybe it’s like. he’s only half cursed to just sometimes be a skeleton but he can also look human again too. i don’t fucking know. also OH SHIT BENREY HAS TO BE NOT HUMAN UHJHHHHHHHH fuck it guess he’s part ancient now too. i guess. shit i’ll have to spend more time on him but this is.. the gist

next we got uhh forzen babey. i’ll be honest i’m not too confident on this one. i had the vague idea that maybe he’s a mermaid? although whether he’s one of the mermaids that steals sunken pirates and turns them into mermaids or one of the mermaids who was turned into a pirate i can’t really decide. i mean the pirates-turned-mermaids are always helpful in game, and forzen. well. Isn’t, but the mermaid-mermaids live so far deep that they’re never seen? so i don’t know. but he’s out there.... in the ocean....... somewhere....... waiting for me to have more brain power to answer this

it’s darnold time! i’ll be honest i also don’t have many ideas for this guy. i thought maybe he’s got something to do with the order of souls? that’s vaguely related to potions right? sage darnold with the oos eyes curse and he reads the fuckin skull juices to help out the crew with their voyages..... i think? there are other options too but this is the one that jumped out at me the most!

GREGORY MAN. the man himself. SO I GOT TWO POSSIBILITIES HERE FOR THIS GUY. what i can’t decide on is how much of canon sot i want to be canon in this au... mainly, the stuff abt the pirate lord. i got two options here, one of which is that ramsey still exists as the pirate lord and he hangs out doing mostly the same shit he does in canon, and gman is like. an ancient who stuck around the sea of thieves for whatever reason? which would make tommy a descendant of the ancients too, hence why i specified earlier that all the pirates in the crew might not be human..... EITHER THAT OR gman is the pirate lord and ramsey fuckin uh doesn’t exist in the au. and i CANNOT for the life of me decide which i like better. ANY HELP APPRECIATE HERE PLS

OH ALSO I FORGOT SUNKIST HE’S A MONKEY THAT TOMMY HAS AND HE CAN DO COOL TRICKS AND EVERYONE LOVES HIM. HE’S IMMORTAL SOMEHOW. DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT

THEN. it’s tim,e for “how the fuck did everyone get past the shroud into the sot”

i think no matter who the pirate lord is in this au they’d have no problems letting pretty much anyone in honestly. ramsey just kinda says “oh you washed up unconscious on the shores of old sailor’s isle? cool let me just not ask any questions and part the shroud for you real quick ok bye” and honestly i can’t imagine gman would be much different—although he’d probably be more cryptic abt it than ramsey is

SO. GORDOS. i feel like him coming to the sot was a last resort of sorts. he feels lost in life, unsure what his goal is or where he’s going, and he hears of this mystical sea that nobody who enters ever leaves but apparently there’s adventure and treasure and wonder there so he’s like fuck it, i’ve got nothing else to do and goes there hoping to find some sort of purpose. and find it he does :)

tommy time! i feel like whatever brought him here had to be partially related to his dad? either he’s just There bc. well. his dad’s the fuckin pirate lord, or gman’s all cryptid abt being an ancient and left tommy to sort of grow up in the sot on his own while gman kept a distant eye on him, just so tommy wouldn’t find out too much abt being an ancient or whatever. uh. so he’s pretty familiar w the world of sot and all its wacky magic shit!

(actual sot lore question here bc this is smth i don’t know—does all the magic that happens in sea of thieves happen beyond the shroud? i wonder if the rest of the world also has skeletons and giant sea monsters and magic and shit or if it’s just inside the sea of thieves...... hmmm for this au i’m gonna assume that all magic is something unique to the sea of thieves and doesn’t happen beyond the shroud)

The Bubby. honestly i like the idea that bubby came to the sot just to like... get away from the outside world? like maybe he’s on the run from something............ this is very very vague in my mind and is extremely subject to change but i like the whole “I’M LEAVING THIS WORLD!” thing as bubby being like fuck the regular world i’m going into the flesh eating devil shroud and nobody can stop me. and then he did

coomer. the man himself. i think coomer came to the sot searching for adventure! and more to learn! he’s always looking to broaden his horizons and where else to go but to the mystical sea of thieves when looking for new experiences? coomer is just here to have a good time :)

UH i think darnold already existed in the sot... he just sorta Lives There... there are npcs who just fucking were born and raised there right. like tasha was in the sot at age 4 so it makes sense right?? darnold just live here and he helps get the crew from the outside world familiar with the sot!

FORZEN has been in the sot for ages—either he’s always been here as a mermaid or he got turned into one so long ago and he’s just been getting angrier and angrier w it every year he’s trapped here. he barely remember why he came anymore but god does he regret it. :(

gman either way just kind of Is There huh..... as the pirate lord i honestly can’t imagine his origin being much different than ramsey’s? like he just makes friends w the ancients like hey what’s up i like this sea. my sea now. or he Is an ancient and just fucking chills there. whatever

OK THAT’S MOSTLY IT FOR WHAT I HAVE FOR TECHNICAL STUFF WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT..... HERE ARE SOME OTHER FUN BITS I THOUGHT OF:

bubby discovers firebombs and Uh Oh. Uh Oh Everyone Watch Out Bubby’s Got Fire Powers Now. he only accidentally sets the ship on fire SOMETIMES it’s FINE. (also his favorite region is the devil’s roar. unsurprisingly. he likes the chaos it brings)

bubby and tommy + coomer as well are agents of chaos in general. they don’t follow the fuckin Rules and it makes gordon’s life a living hell.

bubby: look gordon i dug up some grubs! gordon: cool man, put those in the barrel and we can use them to fish late- bubby: (shoving the grubs in his mouth) gordon: BUBBY NO WHAT THE FUCK DON’T EAT TH coomer: oh, what a good idea, bubby! i am feeling quite hungry myself! (also starts eating worms) gordon: I’M COOKING DINNER AT THE CAMPFIRE RIGHT NOW PLEASE DON’T tommy: oh are the worms okay to eat? i wonder what they taste like gordon: NO STOP benrey, shoving worms in gordon’s face: eat worms? eat worms now please?

coomer finds out how to launch himself out of a cannon and he becomes unstoppable. the crew is attacked by an enemy ship and everyone’s like “oh fuck everyone get to the cannons!” and they go there to find coomer fucking launching himself directly onto the enemy ship, and he kills their entire crew in seconds. by the time he mermaids back to his ship everyone is fucking stunned silent and coomer is just like “well, that takes care of that! let’s get back on course, gentlemen!” and since then they just fucking fire coomer at people like a weapon whenever they get attacked by other pirates or skeletons. It Always Works

UH AND I THINK THAT’S KIND OF WHAT I HAVE SO FAR? i might be forgetting something but this post is long enough as is......

IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD FEEL FREE!!! i love sea of thieves so fuckin much man... and i didn’t even TOUCH on anything like any of the reaper’s bones shit which i would be interested in looking at getting involved in this au somehow...... i will probably come back to this if anyone else is interested !! otherwise that’s all i got for now!!!! thank you so much for asking anon!!!!!

#hlvrai #sot #UM. I GUESS I'M PUTTING THIS IN THE MAIN TAGS?#half live vr but the ai is self aware #sea of thieves #hlvrai + sot fans..... all three of you...... come get your juice #SORRY FOR THE LONG POST TO EVERYONE ELSE HGHNFDNJHG FD #anyway thank you anon..... thank you so much.................. i lvoe you #I'M SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO WRITE I GOT SO MUCH...

—𝗖𝗢𝗔 𝗙𝗔𝗤;

Hello, everyone! So with COA being such a long-running series and new readers finding it constantly, I have come to realise that a lot of questions I get often repeat. So to keep everything easy and clear and friendly for everyone regardless of whether you started COA at the very beginning of the story or just recently found it, I have spent the day relaxing, eating junk food, and compiling this FAQ. Please read through it because chances are the answers are here somewhere. I have sectioned the guide into following: general, story, ships, original squad (OCs), AUS, OC!V and tips/advice. If the answer to your question is not here, please feel free to send me a message and have a wonderful day! <33 - kat.

GENERAL:

when does this story update?

I try to keep a bi-weekly schedule (now usually Sunday updates). But I always let you know when the chapter is done by making a final word count post (pre edits).

do you have a masterlist?

yes, you can find it here.

do you have a tag list?

not for COA. they’re very time consuming and I’m already really busy sorry :(

are your requests open?

I rarely open my inbox for requests. the only exception being the monthly blurb nights. then I reblog a prompt list and let people send some requests in for any fandom/ship. however, usually due to how many I get, it only happens every few months. that being said, you can still send me ideas/suggestions and if it inspires me, I will write it. that’s how the majority of the AUs have come about. but i’m also a very busy person so sorry if I can’t.

can I make X or Y for COA and tag you?

yes. yes. yes. please, please, feel free to create whatever for COA (no matter how small or silly) because I consider it a great honour that I’ve been able to inspire someone else. whatever it is, please tag me. I wanna see.

okay, I made a thing and tagged you but you didn’t respond :(

Tumblr is notorious for eating my notifs. whatever it is (art/post/etc) if I don’t respond to it in a day or two, please give me a nudge. you’re not being annoying, I promise. chances are I missed it/tumblr ate it.

I wanna scream/discuss/theorise about COA with others, is there any way for me to do that?

my amazing readers have set up this reddit page that is full of lovely people, theories, and memes etc. I check it often and interact on there, too, so feel free to drop by.

STORY:

how many chapters will COA be?

25. the last one being a very long epilogue.

have you decided on the ending yet?

yes. from as early as part 2. it's barely changed since.

will we ever see more of Prague/Naples? hoe, please say yes.

yes. I plan to write both as COA bonus stories after the main story-line concludes.

will there be a sequel?

depends. on two things: 1) if anyone will even care by that point 2) time. this story has consumed 5 months of my life entirely. i’ve been incredibly strict with myself when it comes to writing it (in a good way) but at best it won’t be finished till the end of august/beginning of september. so likely even if I do, there will be a break for a few months at least. I do have ideas though.

you promised us smut. where is it?

patience is a virtue. ;)

happy ending or tragedy? (please don’t say tragedy, you monster)

I would describe it more as “bittersweet” but whether it leans more towards bitter or sweet you’ll have to see.

SHIPS:

any endgame hints?

you know more about the ending than you probably realise

can v/s finally go to Paris? for the love of GOD? pLEASE?

hector + v? powerful. will there be more of them in the future?

agreed & yes. hector and v have their own arc to go on. it’s actually one of my favourites in this story. I don’t want to say more than that right now because I have plans for their dynamic so no spoilers. :)

please stop bullying john. give us some j/v content please?

i, for one, adore john. it’s team S that’s bullying him lol. but wait till parabellum. i’ve always referred to that portion of the story as the second coming of j/v.

does lucien actually have a thing for v or is it a creepy obsession?

it’s both.

I ship v with everyone :/ is that bad?

the sky is the limit. ship all the things proudly (but seriously, no, it isn’t. I ship all the ships, too, and that’s the fun of it)

v/elder tho? 👀

🔫🤡

j/v or s/v? be honest.

you fool,,,, you buffoon. ot3 j/v/s is where it’s really at. imagine their POWER.

ORIGINAL SQUAD:

what do the Elites/Lovers look like/how old are they?

please refer to this

will there be more step??

of course. he’s my baby. :)

will we see more of camorra/learn more about the elite’s and their backstories?

while I would love to take the time and flesh them all out with full backstories, only hector will be getting his backstory explored in the main canon because plot.

does lucien care for mika anymore or has he replaced her with v?

lucien is a messy hoe. mika is his subject of “affection” but v is his foil and equal. he recognises the same hurt in her that he has gone through himself so it’s more of a fixation. with time, lucien would likely destroy v so no bueno.

I ship our OCs.

I do, too.

can we write about your OCs/V?

so you would have to come to me and discuss this more in private but I’m fine with this sort of thing usually. in fact, a prequel hector story already exists so you’re likely good but please contact me first.

AUs:

when/how often do you update the vampire!au?

whenever I have time/inspo. mainly time. so this means you can get it daily or not get it for several weeks because COA is priority. I keep you all updated on when I have something cooking tho.

what is the actual pairing for vamp!au?

undecided as of yet. i’m leaning more towards ot3 right now but we shall see.

how often do you update flowing in me?

same as the above. whenever I have the time but I will keep you updated.

how many parts will flowing in me be?

I have 5 parts(ish) planned.

do you have a tag list for flowing in me?

I will. please leave a comment on the story if you want to be tagged in future parts!

will flowing in me feature other characters (john, winston etc.)?

this story is mainly camorra-centric but I do plan for John to appear at some point.

how did you come up with your lore in vamp!au?

to be completely honest....I just wrote a bunch of stuff down and used what stuck. mostly the ideas were pulled out of thin air while still trying to keep within the spirit of the canon material (the high priest, the holy church, the twelve priests, john being the boogeyman etc). camorra as the natural enemy seemed fitting and santino as a vampire prince even more so.

can we send you new au ideas/expand on old ones (manager!V etc)?

yes, always. I always try my hardest to reply but ofc I can’t promise I’ll be able to use them all but thank you in advance.

OC!V:

who is the face claim for OC!V?

weronika spyrka

what is her real name?

clara

how old is she at the beginning of the story and now?

23 beginning of chapter 1, 30 beginning of chapter 4 (current timeline)

will/would you ever write an original story about her?

I have considered creating something original out of COA itself or one of its sister series/concepts (like FIM). since I really started working on COA during last year’s NaNo, that might be the time I create something original this year.

TIPS & ADVICE:

how do you write so much, so quickly?

I don’t think that word count is really reflective of the quality work itself. I don’t think you should worry how much you write, either. 100 words can be just as valuable as 1k. most of them time I have a deadline breathing down my neck and I do work well under pressure so that inspires me to force the chapters out. I also do very long days because despite what it might look like I’m not a fast writer.

how can I improve my writing?

read and practice. I know it’s dumb and overused advice but it’s how I learned english and found my style (still a mess and WIP) but still this advice does help.

how do you keep motivated?

spite, your support, genuine adoration for these characters/word, a lot of spite.

do you plan? outline?

I have a vague story outline with specific scenes in mind as I go along (helps to set up foreshadowing, twists, and those ‘full circle’ moments). I also plan each chapter scene by scene and know what each chapter is meant to accomplish. So yeah in a sense.

#i will add more in the future if it comes to mind #with this future parts coming up i imagine more questions will repeat lol #faq post #fic: children of ares

a sweet little anonymous sent : do u have sum modern ahri headcanons? (btw ur ahri is my fave by far, i just LOVE the way you write her ;;)

here are some modern ahri headcanons, as requested !! i’ve been sitting on this ask for like almost a month now i’m so sorry lol. but first of all, thank you !! you have no idea how happy it makes me that someone is asking for my ideas and that my ahri is your favorite !!! aaaaaaaa dkfjbfg when i first got this ask i screamed genuinely like djkfbgdf it made me so stupidly happy so thank you. i work really hard to put my heart and soul into ahri and trying to make her unique so !! thank you so much for sending these, let me know if you’d like more !!

modern ahri, as we all know, remains a gumiho. she’s not an ancient one by any means, just about as old as she is in runeterra’s equivalent, so around 180 - 200 years old. with it being the modern world, she’s probably closer to being more gumiho - like than she is in her canon counterpart, where it’s quite obvious that her creation was inspired by gumiho lore, but isn’t quite exactly as it is. my favorite thing to do for modern spins is place everyone who’s from a fantasy setting into a modern world exactly as they are in the fantasy world. for example, neeko would still be a cute lizard !! that being said, ahri’s magical abilities of her canon counterpart are still intact in the modern verse, however, she hunts more frequently for humans than she does in runeterra. while in runeterra she still consumes humans and their life essence and their flesh ( as i have written in several headcanons ), it’s not to the extent as it is in modern. she is discreet, clean, and where k / da is concerned, evelynn often stages the bodies. they may sometimes hunt together, with ahri cleaning up some of evelynn’s messes, where their life essence and flesh are concerned.

going on with runeterra similarities, ahri’s trauma of losing her boyfriend, due to killing him, remains the same, but her response will obviously differ. that same exact garden that exists in ionia won’t exist in the modern world ( although i suppose it could if i really wanted it to ), so instead, ahri turns to medicine, somewhat, in trying to erase her memories. it obviously doesn’t work, and she lives with the grief of her crime for decades and is ruthless in her grief - stricken hunts.

now for some more fun headcanons, now that i’ve gotten the more serious ones out of the way !!

ahri loves sweets. she has a huge sweet tooth and she’ll often see those cute little desserts on youtube or pinterest and is filled with the overwhelming desire to recreate them. when ahri began her life, after she assimilated to human life, she wasn’t the best cook, at all. in fact, she is still not the best, but she’s slowly, very slowly, improving, little by little. she might succeed in making things look as intended, but the textures are off, the tastes are off. real meals are easier to accomplish, and she’s learned her way around that and actually does quite well. but pastries and sweets are a nightmare. she is TRYING her best. she wants to make good sweets so badly because she wants to eat them 😭

in most modern verse, ahri does work as a singer, actress, model, and a youtube vlogger, which is mostly a hobby. she makes makeup vlogs, day to day vlogs of her life, travel vlogs, fashion vlogs, music vlogs and covers or original music, mukbangs, unboxings, etc. she’ll do anything !! and while ahri does real model work, she’s something of an instagram model, too !! she’ll make tiktoks, too !!

i have a streamer au, as well !! or rather, it’s a side counterpart to modern in general, where she does the same thing a lot of celebrities do now, where they’ve turned to twitch to stream !! my streamer au is based on the premise that league of legends is a game whose champions are based on celebrities or otherwise, and that the characters as they are in league exist in the modern world with their fantasy - components and all. it’s a modernized fantasy world !! ahri is a very active streamer and in a more streamer leaning au, with her having more fame from this rather than anything else, she likes to stream not only video games, but just chatting things, cooking streams ( even her failures ), make up streams, music streams, and irl streams !! ahri is prone to the occasionally lengthy stream, and she’ll participate in those 24 hour streams for charity and stuff. when it comes to league, ahri mains herself, and she’s a hardstuck diamond that saw the air of masters tier for like one week, forgot about it, decayed, and she never has been back LMAO.

ahri loves traveling. while she’s happy with where she calls home, she gets antsy because there’s so many beautiful sights to see and things to try, and she just loves to learn about the world. this is reflective of her travels in runeterra to learn about her vastayan heritage. when ahri travels, she buys a bunch of souvenirs for herself or as gifts to her friends. she shows off a lot of her traveling in photographs or live streams on instagram, twitch, etc.

ahri has a rather lavish home. it’s large for just herself, but it’s decked out and beautifully decorated. she likes to host small parties amongst her friends, whether it’s a small get together, a proper party, or sleepover. she has a recording studio at home for music, a little gaming room, a home gym, etc. her bedroom is pretty large, furnished with a plush king size bed and she has two walk - in closets. think princess diaries big walk - in closet.

#thank you again !!!!!!!!! aaaaa #hc.#i think this is all that i can think of atm #just bc this is getting rather long #KLSNJDGDFG

Monster AU:

Since it’s Halloween, let’s post this son of a bitch that I’ve been holding onto for months!

So, basically, it’s ‘AU where most characters are some sort of Magic Creature’. Because fuck it, you know? The story itself is kinda canon-parallel, but I haven’t thought out everything.

Anyway, first I’m starting off with tidbits on various creatures and stuff instead of straight into the story!

Ed and Al, and Hohenheim – Dragon

Technically Ed and Al are half-Dragon/half-Human, but due to Human Adaptability, Monster/Human Hybrids come out full monster(Monster/Monster Hybrids are rare, but would have abilities from both).

Ed and Al are also bumped up in age, being 18-ish. (so are the rest of the teens but whatever)

First up is the Monster Lore:

Dragon Magic is remains dormant until Awakened(because would you trust the unbridled chaos of a toddler with the ability to set stuff on fire?). It’s designed to be Awakened by another Dragon(usually a parent/guardian) after hitting puberty-age. Ed manages to find a loophole in this.

Dragons have three forms. Full Dragon, Human Disguise, and ‘Midform’(Human with Draconic features like wings, horns, claws, tail, and some scale freckles). Most Dragons feel most comfortable in Midform. While the Midform is still Human-sized, the Full Dragon form gets bigger with age! Ed and Al are young so they’re about the size of a small horse, but Hohenheim is 450-ish and enormous.

While they have the standard Dragon abilities of flight and fire, they also have general spellcasting abilities. Speaking of, another Dragon Ability is to either resist/deflect Magic, or enhance it, depending on if they want it used on them or not. It can even work subconsciously. For example, Ed and Al trust Winry, so her using Magic on them will always work, but they will resist spells from random people. This is another thing that gets stronger with age, as Ed and Al only have high resistance, but it’s difficult to find a spell powerful enough to get through Hohenheim.

Dragon Hoards are also a thing, but not in the usual gold/jewels way. Think of the Unusual Dragon Hoards art. A Dragon picks an item and creates a collection. When the instinct first kicks in, the Dragon will gather up as many items as they can find and just pile it up somewhere and not let anyone in. It calms down after a day or two. Ed’s hoard is actually friends because he’s a dork like that, but it gets difficult when he suddenly has five people in a cuddle pile and gets Very Upset when they try to get up.

Dragon Magic is Unique in it’s Source. Most Magic has an external Source(Fey have Nature, Witches have Spells, Vampires use others’ blood, etc.) A Dragon’s source is their own Life Energy. Using Magic will use up their Life Energy, but it replenishes itself with time, rest, and food. Despite being tied to their Life Energy, it’s very difficult to die from overusing Magic, as the Dragon will likely pass out from exhaustion before it gets unstable.

Very long-lived, but not Immortal. They age at the same rate as Humans until their twenties, and then aging slows dramatically. For example, Hohenheim is 450-ish, but is equal to a 30-ish year old Human.

Also! Colors! The colors of a Dragon’s scales are not genetic. It’s determined by the emotions they feel when their powers are Awakened. Ed is red, a color of passion and love, Al is green for a sense of belonging, and Hohenheim is white for freedom. (Accent colors like on horns and claws and such are still their usual gold)

On to character-specific tidbits:

Ed and Al

A lot of their story mirrors Canon, in that Hohenheim left for reasons unknown, and Trisha ends up dying. They do kinda get on a ‘maybe we can cook up some necromancy?’ idea, but that’s shut down real quick.

Ed still loses his leg somehow, because that’s constant in all my Aus.

Instead of focusing on fixing their shit, the boys are instead trying to figure out what the hell they are. Because, like, no one really knew that Hohenheim was a Dragon. They knew he was more than just a Witch, but they didn’t know what he was. He did tell Trisha, but neither of them told the boys. And since Dragon Magic remains dormant until Awakened, they’ve experienced minimal side effects. None of which are common Monster traits.

So they’re studying different Monsters in a hope to figure out what they are. The plan if they run across Hohenheim is to ask what they are and also punch him(Ed says punch first then ask, Al says ask and maybe punch.)

This does lead them to working for Mustang.

Hohenheim

His story also probably mirrors Canon. I’m not entirely sure what all goes down or how Father functions in this AU(I think I’m doing the ‘evil twin’ thing again, in which case I’m making him a black dragon for contrast!).

Him leaving is definitely still connected to this, though when he’s not actively working on that he uses the whole ‘Dragons can negate most Magic and are rare enough that people don’t have special defenses for them’ thing to help people out. Especially Monsters that get kidnapped for various reasons.

Hohenheim is also less depressed in this AU! Like, obvs he still has some issues. But being 450 years old is a lot more common so he doesn’t have that Angst™ hanging over him. Nor does he have the Angst™ of said Immortality being gained through a bunch of murder, since it’s just his natural lifespan. So we get to see more of his not-depressed side.

Winry – Witch

Monster Lore is short this time. Witches in this Universe are highly debated about whether they are Monsters or not, as they are basically just ‘Humans with the ability to use Magic’. Different people have different opinions on it.

Winry(and her family) consider themselves more on the Monster side, doing doctor stuff for all sorts of creatures.

Of course Automail is still a thing, and of course the Rockbell family is well known for it. Specifically, they make Automail that also hooks into a Monster’s Magic, and will function as they do. For example, Ed’s still missing a leg in this AU. So when he switches between Human, Dragon, and Midform, he needs his leg to change too.

Ling, Greed, and Lust – Vampires.

So, a few character tidbits before the Monster Lore:

Ling:

Despite being a Vampire, he’s still the same age as Ed. He was only Turned a couple years ago. Reasons for that are… not fun. It involves an abusive ex, becoming friends with Greed and Lust to get out of that, and ends in a ‘only way to save his life is to make him a vampire’ situation.

Before that he was just a Witch. Kinda neutral on the ‘are Witches ‘Monster’ or ‘Human’?’ debate, but Monster-friendly.

Greed and Lust

Much like my Groupchat AU, the Sins Crew and Father are mostly not related except for these two, and the Sins did work for Father for a while but they’ve all kinda fucked off. (The Sins crew do mostly stay in contact though).

Used to be Human(maybe Witches?). They were from a noble family about 200 years ago. Greed was Turned thanks to political drama, and was kicked out of the family. Lust willingly went with him.

While they’re around 200, due to Vampires being a bit frozen in time, they’re only a little older than Ed and Ling.

They operate this Universe’s version of the Devil’s Nest, which is a Montser-friendly bar.

Some Vampire Lore applies, some doesn’t.

They don’t have to be ‘invited in’(But they typically stick to societal rules of ‘don’t break in like a jackass’)

Sunlight and Garlic sort of bother them, but not like in some lore. They’re designed to be nocturnal, so being out in the sun is like ‘wtf???’ to their senses. Same with Garlic, which can easily overload their sense of smell(but so can any strong smell)

They can be burned by silver

The no reflection/can’t be photographed thing is sort of true. Old mirrors and cameras used silver. Nowadays mirrors use cheap metals and photo/video is digital, so they show up.

Religious symbols are tricky. It depends on how much the Vampire and the person warding them off believe in said religion.

Vampires have an ‘Enthrall Enchantment’, but it’s not, like, straight up hypnotism. It just kinda makes the person they’re biting feel a bit good and fuzzy and not really in pain. It also helps heal the bite afterward. I’ll discuss this more later.

Vampires need blood, but it doesn’t have to be Human blood. It’s just safest because Monster Blood can have various side effects.

Werewolf blood causes an effect similar to alcohol.

Fae blood causes a different prank each time(minor stuff, like turning your hair purple for a week)

Blood from Monsters related to Religions(like Angels or Demons) are actually poisonous.

Dragon blood causes a large power boost.

This is the Loophole Ed found for Awakening Dragon Magic.

The blood they drink has to be relatively fresh. ‘Straight from the tap’ is best, a vial of blood is good for a few hours

There is the question of ‘do Vampires need blood to live?’.

Technically? They get very weak if they don’t, especially in the Magic Department. But they usually die from said weakness than outright ‘not getting blood’.

Vampires are Immortal as long as they continue to drink blood. even to the point of self-healing if they have enough.

Technically, a Vampire doesn’t need to eat or sleep if they have a decent blood source. However, it is better for them if they do as they can last longer between ‘drinks’.

Much like the other side effects I listed before, different blood lasts longer. Dragon blood would last longer than Human blood, for example.

Mustang – Faerie (Fire-based)

An odd choice for him, but I’m running with it!

Time for Monster Lore:

All Fae love legal loopholes and the bullshit technicalities.

Usually Faeries are somewhat allergic to metal(especially iron). Occasionally there are ones that have no issue it, but it’s super rare.

A Faerie’s Magic Source is some form of nature. Fire-based ones have the ability to sort of create their own source(they can magically light fire to become their source). Think how stuff works in ATLA. Water users need a body of liquid, earth users need earth, but fire users can kinda make it themselves in decent conditions.

They’re still effected by other Elements though. Mustang’s whole ‘useless in the rain’ thing is still a problem. Even more than Canon. Like, he won’t die if put in water(the man has to shower sometimes), but it does make him very low-energy and overall weaker. He does not like swimming.

Also! Faerie Wings!! Gotta have those! The colors resemble a Faerie’s respective Source Element, but aren’t made out of it, so no literal fire wings. They do glow a lot when using powerful Magic. They can also be ‘put away’ to pass as Human(or just for convenience of not knocking shit over in narrow hallways).

Character tidbits

One of the few Fae that don’t have an issue with metals.

Between that, and the fact that the wings are usually ‘put away’, most people assume he’s just a Witch. He doesn’t correct them as it does make him more liked.

He subconsciously feels a connection to Ed and Al due to his Fire Magic nature picking up on their Dragon Fire. It’s one of the reasons why he tolerates their shenanigans(the other reason being that after about ten minutes getting to know them he was like ‘okay you’re my kids now’)

mini things on other characters that I don’t have story for yet:

The rest of the Sins Crew:

Envy is a shapeshifter(of course).

Pride is some sort of shadow monster(again, of course.)

Sloth is one of those Dream Eater Spirit things? You know what I’m talking about. He spends most of his time asleep in the Dream Realm.

Idk about Gluttony or Wrath yet.

Mustang’s Team!

Idk what everyone is yet, but they’re all Monsters of some sort.

Hawkeye is absolutely something with wings tho because HAWKeye!

Not sure what Mei is. Maybe just a Witch, but maybe something more? (obvs on her mom’s side though).

I also want to put Lan Fan in, but I’m not sure where or what she’d be? I think what happens here is that she was friends with Ling, but then his whole ‘bad relationship and becoming a Vampire’ thing happens. She feels guilty for not protecting him from that, and they end up going separate ways for a while, but they’d end up reconnecting at some point.

Story Plot Points!

The whole thing kinda kicks off because Ed and Ling are dating. Yes. Really.

Like, they get to that point in the relationship where Ling invites Ed over and is like “Okay, so I’m not actually Human?”. Because that’s a talk people have to have at somepoint

Ed’s like “cool me neither?”. He further explains the whole thing of how he knows he’s a Monster of some sort but doesn’t know which kind.

He then proceeds to ask a fuckton of questions about Vampires because he hasn’t studied one in-person before, and he noticed Ling goes against the typical rules(can’t go in sunlight, must be invited in, etc.)

As they’re talking on this, Ling mentions that different Monster blood has different effects.

Ed’s thought process is that he could use this to narrow down the search for what kind of monster he is by seeing the effect his blood has on Ling.

Ling’s… hesitant for several reasons.

But Ed insists and makes it very clear that he’s okay with it.

This is where the loopholes kick in!

As Vampire Magic uses the blood they drink, it also counts as the Magic of that creature. So Ling using Ed’s blood qualifies as Dragon Magic, and since the Enthrallment is in effect, that kickstarts Ed’s Magic.

This causes a panic as Ling’s Magic is suddenly a hell of a lot stronger and the Enthrallment is a lot more intense.

There’s also panic because once they stop that part, Ed’s just like ‘Holy FUCK I feel GREAT!’, but Ling knows he shouldn’t feel that good right now and he’s overheating. He’s like ‘Okay, that good feeling is probably you hallucinating or something so let’s go into the bathroom in case you throw up?’

And then Ed just kinda bursts into flames? Luckily they were already in the bathroom so Ling just kinda douses him in the shower.

Next day they head back to Ed’s place (He and Al live with Winry in this AU?). And they explain what happened. They agree that they have a decent lead here, but they need someone more knowledgeable. And, well, Ling knows some people.

Ling takes them down to the Devils’ Nest. As mentioned, Greed and Lust run the place.

They talk to Greed mostly. After explaining everything, he tells Ed to try something. Said thing ends with the boy breathing fire.

Greed’s just like ‘congrats kid you’re a fucking Dragon!’.

Greed and Lust share various tidbits about what they know about Dragons, but admit that there’s probably a lot of stuff they’re forgetting or just straight up don’t know.

They explain the whole ‘dormant Magic only activated by Dragon Magic’, and the probable loophole.

They also explain that once Ed finishes the ‘Awakening’, he’ll be able to ‘Awaken’ Al’s Magic easily. (Though Greed does offer to recreate the loophole(Al is very flustered but currently declines))

Speaking of, they do warn Ed that there’s a bit more to go through. Mostly that he’ll have three forms, but the first time he transforms will be involuntary and painful. Best way to deal with it is ‘when you feel your back start to itch like crazy, take some strong pain meds and lay on your stomach’.

By the time they get back home, Ed’s starting to feel that. So he decides to just go to bed early, and everyone else just kinda tries to sleep too. (like, he says he’s fine and they don’t hear him screaming so he’s probably good?). Ling also stays, but since Ed wants his space for this he stays on the couch.

Next morning, Ed comes down and everyone is fuckin floored. They’re staring but he doesn’t notice at first because he’s very hungry and raiding the fridge for everything.

Basically, since his Magic was supposed to be awakened years ago, his body kinda stopped growing, resulting in him looking a bit ‘stuck at 15’. Now the Magic is making up for lost time, so it’s a somewhat literal ‘puberty hit him like a truck’ situation. (Ling and Winry are both like hearteyesmotherfucker!

Like, you know that picture comparing Ed in the early episodes of fma:b to the later episodes and being all ‘look how much he grew!’? That, but overnight. Ya boi got kinda tall. He’s still shorter than Ling but he’s taller than Winry. (With the potential to grow taller now!)

One of the reasons for the height is that he’s in his midform, aka: Human with Draconic features. This includes his legs being digitigrade, so it’s kinda like he’s constantly standing on his toes. (His Human form is technically shorter because of this).

They also focus on the Dragon-y features more. Like the wings, and the horns, and the tail!! His eyes are the slit-pupil thing, and while his teeth have always been kinda sharp he now has full on fangs. Then they also notice his arms transitioning from skin to scale, starting at the elbow until his hands are claws. (his regular leg also does this from the knee down). His ears are also pointed and scale covered, and he has a few scale freckles on his cheeks.

They have about five minutes of normal before something goes weird. Because suddenly Ed is being ridiculously clingy but is seemingly unaware of how weird that is and cannot seem to explain why.

They’re like ‘why are you hugging me?’ and he’s like ‘Why wouldn’t I be?’. And like, if they try to step away for a minute he gets very Upset™

Somehow they manage to make it back to the Devils’ Nest to ask Greed. The group finds a seat on a couch and at this point Ed’s in full cuddle mode, just hugging the three of them and laying across them and he’s kinda like a cat on catnip.

When Greed gets within five feet, Ed suddenly shoots up and stares at him. He freezes, waiting for Ed to make a move. When Ed nods, he takes a step closer. When he takes a second step, Ed pounces forward and drags him into the cuddle pile.

Greed is mildly confused, but explains to the others that this is just the ‘hoarding instinct’ kicking in, and he’ll be back to normal soon enough.

Since he’s not allowed to leave(Ed is stronger than he looks and also even if Greed could leave Ed’s fucking face is too much), he kinda tells Lust to take over running the bar for the day.

The whole ‘get within five feet and Ed shoots up’ thing happens with her, but Greed calms Ed down by saying ‘it’s okay she’s a friend’.

Of course, when she goes to leave, she finds that while she was out of range of Ed leaning over to grab her, she didn’t notice the tail around her leg.

She gets dragged in, and while Greed tells someone else to take over(from a distance), he also suggests they take this party upstairs.

Al says a thing about ‘can you stop flirting for five seconds?’. Greed responds with a ‘while I would love to invite you to my bed for other reasons, now is not the time’.

Al gets oddly flustered by this

They’re trying to figure out what the connection is between all of them that makes them part of Ed’s Hoard. Lust asks more directly ‘why the fuck did you drag me into this??’. And Ed just points to Greed and says ‘He said you are a friend.’. as if it makes complete sense.

Turns out that Ed’s hoard is friendship. And combined with the fact that(despite his grumpiness) he gets easily attached, it took little for Greed and Lust to be considered friends.

Everyone does have the freedom to leave, and sometimes they do because they need to get up and stretch or use the bathroom or grab a snack. But whenever they do Ed just sits up and stares at the door until they come back.

By the next morning, Ed’s kind of back to normal. Like, he still has the instinct in there and all, but everyone can do their own thing and Ed’s a lot more calm. He’s also very embarrassed about the whole thing.

Of course, Ed and Al remember they were supposed to drop by Mustang’s office a few days ago. Mostly because they get a call like ‘are y’all okay?’.

Ed shifts into the Human Disguise form to head down there, but everyone still notices something is up because he’s suddenly the same height as Hawkeye.

They’re all like ‘okay kid. Drop whatever tall spell you found this time’. Ed just grins maniacally and says ‘it’s no spell! I look like this now!’. Al confirms it, but is realizing how obnoxious Ed’s going to be about the height.

They explain that they figured out what the hell they are, and Ed shows off both the full Dragon form and the Midform.

Obvs the team asks how they figured it out, and Ed explains that Dragon Magic is dormant until another Dragon Awakens it, but they found a loophole.

‘Wait, a loophole? What loophole?’, “Uh… a Vampire using my blood?’, ‘Did you get attacked by a Vampire?!’, ‘No, it’s a friend and I asked him to because different monster blood has different effects’, ‘and you were okay with a guy just getting all up in your personal space and biting your neck like that?’, “Well, he’s the kind of friend where I’d be okay with him‘getting all up in my personal space and biting my neck’ anyway.’. ‘Oh.’

Yeah. They didn’t know Ed was dating anyone, much less a guy. So that’s a conversation.

When asked why it’s just Ed who went through the whole thing while Al’s still ‘normal’, they say that they’re mostly waiting to see what all happens to Ed and how to deal with it.

Although, Ed does point out that if they don’t do it soon it’ll probably happen accidentally since it’s basically a ‘next time he uses Magic on Al situation’.

Then Ed’s like ‘Or, you know, you could always ask Greed to ‘recreate the loophole!’. Al gets very flustered again and is just like ‘willyoushutthefuckuppleaseohmyfuckinggod’

Overall, they’d like some report on what else they find out.

Next plot goes on to ‘testing out powers’. Specifically. The boys want to test out the ‘resist and enhance’ aspect.

They bring in Ling and Greed for this, killing two birds with one stone and also studying the Vampire’s Enthrallment at the same time.

Of the various things they’re testing:

Resisting the spell

‘enhancing’ the spell

differences between the resist/enhance skill of an Awakened Dragon vs. not Awakened

if the Enthrallment Enchantment is different between Vampires(and between who it’s being used on)

Ed and Al also already came up with a ‘payment method’, since they’ll be asking Greed and Ling to use up a bunch of Magical Energy to do this. Said payment is, of course, blood. Ed will ‘pay’ for Ling, while Greed and Al get to ‘recreate the loophole’.

We’re going to jump right into my Al/Greed Rarepair because fuck it it’s my fanfic and I pick the ships!

So their banter has been going back and forth for a bit. Like, at first it was just Greed flirting and Al getting flustered, but once Al gets into the rhythm he can kinda flirt back but neither really realized it was more than banter until now

Al realizes it because of what they figure out about the Enthrallment. Because it effected them differently and the emotions it brought forth wasn't anything unfamiliar. Like, Al found Ling’s Enthrallment to be comfortable, because he’s a friend. But Greed’s made him fluttery and giddy and all that. Meanwhile, Ed felt the opposite.

So when they are alone and he has Greed biting his neck, Al ends up going in for a kiss.

And while the feeling is returned, it leaves Greed somewhat flustered and confused. He manages to distract Al with the ‘you’re probably gonna catch fire in a minute so maybe deal with that first’ thing.

Next time they really see each other is after Al’s turn with the ‘puberty hit him like a truck’ situation, but Greed’s kind of… he’s still a little hesitant and confused about things so he’s giving Al space, but Al doesn’t know that so it’s like ‘is he avoiding me?? Why??’.

Al even wonders if it has something to do with his Midform, and tends to stay in Human Disguise more often around Greed.

Next time they’re alone for a bit they end up talking that out though. And also making out I guess.

Okay! So! A Lot of other plot stuffhappens.

Like, probably things like meeting other characters and also the rest of the Sins Crew, finding out about various fuckery going on. I mean, I did say that while the Sins Crew all kinda left, Father himself is still an Asshole™ and doing some major villain stuff.

So they find out all that and a bunch of other things too. I haven’t thought all that out yet.

Out of the stuff that I have planned out though, the next thing to happen is Ed getting a little kidnapped. Idk exactly ‘why’, other than ‘some assholes are grabbing random monsters’, but who knows what they’re doing with them it’s not important.

Anyway, Ed’s already on his way to break out, when he happens to run into Hohenheim.

Oh boy is that a trip. I mean, first off we have them just being ‘why the fuck are you here? Why am I here? Why are you here?!’ and just generally being that pointing spiderman meme. After the initial shock, Ed’s kinda ready to punch, but then Hohenheim just says things that Ed didn’t expect.

Like, Ed expected Hohenheim to just be some asshole who never cared. But he’s immediately concerned about Ed and seems to, you know, care about him.

The thing that really hits him though is when he says something along the lines of ‘Let’s get you out of here and back home. Your mother’s probably worried about you!’.

He realizes ‘oh god he has no clue’. And then he realizes ‘oh god I’m going to have to tell him’.

And like, I’m not gonna get too into that Angst Fest™, but there is kind of a minor breakdown because how else do you react to that news?

But that whole thing is enough to make Ed stop and think things through and overall give Hohenheim chance.

They then end up going on their own adventures while Ed tries to get back home.

And of course various strange bonding experiences happen along the way

A lot of that bonding is learning about Dragon Tricks. Especially flying because while Ed kinda figured out a little bit he hasn’t had anyone with wings(or at least the same kind of wings) to really teach him.

During one flight Ed suddenly catches a familiar scent

obvs everyone is looking for Ed, and he manages to find Ling, Greed and Lust

Ed does a literal flying tackle at Ling and knocks him over. There’s a minor fight because Ling doesn’t realize he’s not being attacked but you know.

After hugging the fuck out of Ling, Ed tells Greed and Lust to get down there too. Greed’s like ‘hell no I’m not getting on the ground to hug you!’ but he forgets about the tail. Lust gives in.

They ask what the fuck happened and Ed’s like ‘where do I even begin??’

At some point Hohenheim had popped up and is like ‘maybe start with introductions?”

then you get the comedic thing of the Vampires looking up, and then continuing to look up, and then being terrified of the giant fucking dragon.

Ed’s just all causal like ‘so, uh, I found my dad?’.

Walking into the nearest town is fun

Ed’s kinda clinging to Ling because goddamn it he was lonely!

At some point Ling kinda starts to stumble a little and Ed’s concerned. Greed says ‘he’s fine he’s just and idiot’.

Basically Ling hasn’t had any blood since the last time he drank from Ed. Which was a while ago at this point, so he’s kinda getting a little weak. Not dangerously but imagine the feeling of pulling an all nighter without caffeine.

Ed offers, but Ling brushes it off by saying if he took a drink now, then Ed would be the one weak and stumbling so it doesn’t make a difference, it can wait until they get a place to stay for the night.

Not putting up with that shit, Ed transforms into Full Dragon and offers a ride. Ling’s a little bit like ‘really??’

Greed’s kinda jokingly like ‘why don’t I get offered a ride?’. Ed says ‘well, when we get back home you can ask Al.” Greed opens his mouth to make a joke, looks over to Hohenheim, and decides he really should shut up.

Lust is kinda like ‘hey. Why are we walking into town when we have a large Dragon that can carry all of us?’

Hohenheim’s answer is ‘First of all, I am not a taxi service. Furthermore, if people saw a large Dragon land in the middle of town, they would freak the fuck out.

Ling falls asleep on the way back.

They manage to get a hotel room in the next town they come across. Ed and Ling get their own room, of course.

They go to do the whole ‘blood drinking’ thing, but Ling’s still very hesitant.

Ed has noticed this a lot and at first he figured it was the typical ‘I’m new to being a Vampire and hesitant to do something so weird/taboo/etc.’ thing, but now he’s getting the feeling its something else and ends up asking about it.

So, big trigger warning for that whole ‘abusive relationship’ thing I mentioned way back in the beginning. But, like, that’s kind of what’s up. Like, his Ex used to use the effect of the Enchantment to be manipulative. And Ling’s kind of afraid of accidentally doing that to Ed.

Ed just points out that 1. he knows when Ling is using the enchantment and knows how to separate his feelings from it, 2. the enchantment itself doesn’t make him feel all love-y (he brings up the whole ‘testing it with Greed’ thing as proof, since it didn’t spark any romance with Greed.), and 3. Ed is a Dragon. His own Magic can cancel out the Enchantment if he chooses to do so.

The whole thing does get Ling to relax about it. It’ll still take a while for him to get comfortable using it on Ed, but now Ed knows to not try doing anything romantic while under the Enchantment.

Okay! On with that! The group eventually gets back to home base and they meet up with Al and Winry and whoever else is a friend at this point.

Ed fucking tackle hugs them, of course.

After that Al and Winry notice Hohenheim and they can’t even figure out how to process that they just gesture like ‘what the fuck?’

Ed explains what happened and they’re kind of like ‘you know what fine.

Time for more family bonding with Hohenheim talking to Al for a while.

Time for another Rarepair because this is my fic and I choose the ships!

So, like, Mustang meeting Hohenheim.

Mustang’s just like, staring for a bit. And it’s not helped by the fact that Hohenheim has no sense of personal space when he’s investigating other creatures(because he’s a nerd and that’s what he likes to do).

Mustang is flustered to the point that Ed and Al actually notice and are like ‘bruh what is up with you?”

Obviously he lies as tries to say it’s a reaction to a large source of fire magic. Ed and Al are like ‘really? Because you never do that around us.’

Someone (Probably Hughes) eventually calls him out says ‘magic reaction my ass you think the guy’s pretty!’

Ed and Al are confused by this revelation but are kinda chill with it? Mostly they don’t know how to feel so they’re just going to be chill out of confusion.

That’s all I got on the plot so far because fuck it.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; MUN & MUSE - MEME.

FILL OUT & REPOST ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

TAGGED BY: @sternenteile, #1 Geno fan. TAGGING: Do it.

MY MUSE IS: canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated

is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. [ Nope. Most people just call ZPiW the game with anime girls wielding guns. Outside of me, not much fanart is produced of the peach boy, as it’s well, mostly the girls. Miiverse revealed that the ratio is a bit more even but still, peeps really like them girl designs (designed by a female artist) ]

is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK. [ i mean ?? i’ve met and seen many people who have/had crushes on geno so ??????? but i don’t think it’s like. that. ghfskjhgsg??? ]

is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK. [ Personally, I have to say yes. Momotaro is strong as frick because in game, you’re supposed to level towns to “clean them up”. And this is in addition to the traditional Momotaro folktale that, a Momotaro is a strong child who can lift. However, most just look to Snow White as the strongest cuz she dented metal bare handed...and well is the “face” of the game.]

are they underrated? YES / NO / IDK. [ This game is better known for having girls...with guns. But I wouldn’t say he’s really *that* underrated, considering the basic character is just that...basic. ]

were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO. [ Well, my theory is that he just stumbled upon the fight between survivors and zombies so...kind of yes? Momotaro was one to actually gather folks to storm the castle as they say, because it seems before hand the other heroes were just minding their own business. So, being the one who talks the most (ironically) and the one that the game follows...yeah he’s relevant.]

were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. [ Sadly so, in the sense that I wished the devs would’ve allowed for branching plots depending on which character you choose. This is including the fact that the game is purposely trying to emulate how old-school games were bare bones in characterizations and plot.]

are they widely known in their world? YES / NO. [ Just another folklore hero in the world of Wonderland...a place chock FULL of fairy tales and folktales. Though he might’ve garnered a reputation of being destructive after ZPiW... ]

how’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / neutral. [ ]

HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? — Ehhhh...I think I make do with what I got from the teeny breadcrumbs of canon I got...however, many folks commented that Momotaro looks WAAAAAAY tougher than what I make him out to be so...I guess that’s a fail for following canon strictly on my part. .w.;; If I truly went 1:1, things may be bland...or not...I mean there’s as many subversions to the traditional heroes as there are well, the typical shounen stuff.

SELL YOUR MUSE! AKA TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING, WHICH MAKES YOUR MUSE INTERESTING IN YOUR OPINION TO MAKE THEM SPICY FOR YOUR MUTUALS. — Is Momotaro an OC at this point? Probably. But hey, if you guys want a lad who’s adorable but tough...you could look elsewhere...or you can find that in Momo! I wanted to try to represent some stuff of special needs, but I’m still working out the kinks...but the kid’s loyal, and a very good cook at that! He definitely needs a confidence booster, but could that be part of his charm? Maybe. But hey, I think y’all might really like the idea I got for him, and mainly Smash! Like, have you ever wondered what goes on in that mansion? ...well yes, but what about those who aren’t fighters? Or even assist trophies! That’s where the smash verse comes in! Take a peek into the (tough) lives of Waddle Dees and the peach boy, along with other creatures not suitable for Smash! They’re just as handy for making sure the place is well run and fed! If someone isn’t cleaning and cooking to maintain 70+ fighters, and 20+ assist trophies...who is?

NOW THE OPPOSITE, LIST EVERYTHING WHY YOUR MUSE COULD NOT BE SO INTERESTING (EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, WHAT DOES THE FANDOM PERHAPS THINK?). — This is a character from a game whose designers may appreciate the female figure a bit too much. I always have a tough time recommending this game to others, and hell, I’m terrible at playing it myself. Hell, the fact that most of the characters are minors is just a...”why do you design them like this Bo.mi” thing. Most do seem to think highly of those designs though, as that’s the main aspect of the game I keep hearing in my searches. Now, I’ve received a good amount of concerns over the years that Momotaro not speaking proper English is either racist or babyish...or both. Is my take too depressing? There are often times I think yes, and feel unbelievable shame over it despite others going hard on the angst train.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE? — Well uh, I believe I was charmed by his rugged but baby appearance in the game..and it just so happen at the time that I was part of a budding rp group. Despite the theme being mostly “OUENDAN”, that was the start of me shoving Momotaro into every fuckin’ thing because he’s cute as shit and obscure muses can be fun too! It was also probably relaxing for me because gosh dang back then I was scared of getting something wrong about someone canon with more lore...and I am still scared about that to this day.

WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING? — Studying about Japanese culture, learning the language...the fact that I’ve been rping him for almost 10 years (read like 8-9 at this point)...I do wonder if I should stop rping him...and then I keep hearing that people only want characters only in as fighters, fighters are the only important thing about smash and that grows my weird spite and just continue this “backstage” plot of Smash. Yes, getting a franchise in as a fighter is a VERY high commemoration but, I think it’s just as equally amazing when a franchise gets in as an assist trophy or even a spirit/trophy! So yeah it’s petty and I better find some other motivation soon because it’s exhausting.

SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.

give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

do you think you give your character justice? yes / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? [ Ahaha....I’m starting to give up on that idea at this point, as several noted that Momotaro isn’t as timid in canon as I write him. But I do try to keep those boneheaded traits of the peach boy in my portrayal. ]

do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO / SORT OF? [ It’s a must for Momotaro, whose game is a tribute to how the old timey arcade games didn’t have much to their plots. Otherwise, I would think that playing him would end up pretty dry..whether I play him closer to canon or not. ]

do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO [ ...I should write more. ]

do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO [ Stupidly yes. Been playing him for 8 years so it’s a hard habit to break. ]

are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO / SORT OF? [ I mean, if I wasn’t confident enough I would’ve dropped him...though I have thought about that several times. There be times where I run into some sort of writer’s block due to his meek (and traumatized) nature, and because of how he speaks, it’s scary. Am I pushing his issues too much...? Or just HIM in general...? ]

are you confident in your writing? YES / NO. [ Again, writer block happens when some muses don’t click, or personally I don’t want to interact with someone. And then when I do want to write with someone, I fear that my simpler (children’s book) ways of writing would be a turn off. I don’t want to end up babbling too long that there’s too much detail but I shudder at seeing single lines in response to long prose. ]

are you a sensitive person? YES / NO. / sorta. [ Yeaaaah i get stressed and cry at lot at confrontation and just...anxiety in general. Been trying to keep that off the dash though, as I’m sure peeps got their own troubles already. DMs are good to have y’all. ]

DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL? — I do my best to take crits when I get them but sometimes it just haunts me because I have mixed feelings on being told that the way he speaks is racist or childish. But hey, if you got more advice on how to write trauma and special needs, I’m all ears! Particularly because I’m writing from my own experience in my life and research. ...Dad isn’t that superb at speaking English and that's where I got the Momo speak.

DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER? — Yes please...but at this point I kinda have sadly accepted that’s just gonna be rare because he’s obscure.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? — as my take on Momotaro is very meek, I’d like to see how one would take on a more confident/more canon true take on him. But that’s a pipe dream. Coruse the only headcanon I will never take (that I fear the fandom will have due to perverted nature) is that he’s just a fuckin harem protag wanting to get into pants. To that I say: NO. In canon he doesn’t give a fuck about the fact his teammates are girls...or even acknowledges that they're girls. It’s the time to survive, not boogie on beds...or at a tree.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? — I anticipate that wholly because again, I have gotten comments that my take on Momotaro has not properly prepared them to witness the sheer destruction and toughness that is canontaro. Honestly I’d be hyped to see more takes...except for the harem route ones. Am I gonna jinx myself for saying it that much?

IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT? — I probably would be sad but understanding...I mean it’s not the first time that someone has taken deep offense at Momo and me, mainly in the rp sense. I would hope they would at least go find something that makes them happy.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS? — Yep yep. Or well stealth editing too, that helps.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN? — Ehhhh....maybe...? I mean most think I’m chill but, I’m a ball of anxiety at times. But, I am also one who reaches out because, gosh dang...a lot of peeps are nervous beans and that’s okay. So...it’s a sort of, yeah.

Kiddney patch Notes, as a treat.

I know i haven't posted any of my writings in like, ages, but i was looking over my Kiddney patch notes. Basically me and @shikkearu (my bestest finnish lady in a box) were talking about Kiddney and she oh so graciously gave me these that i was talking of.

Quickly before i paste it.

-A few characters mentioned are like fill in ocs/side jokes

-Its an AU. Set in modern day Finland. Thanks.

-since this is a conversation thats why its formatted like this.

Enjoy lads

Kiddney

- Idiots love each other but are like "buh buh age gap"

-"why would she want a little boy :("

-"who wants an old lady :("

-bickering every chance they get

-kidd bumming in her restaurant atleast 3 days out of the week

Kiddney

-Bonney acts like she's in her forties compared to Kidd because she doesn't understand that just because she met him in highschool when she was a young adult and gained a crush on him as an adult isn't predatory

-Kidd has wanted to bang since he met her at 17

-Kidd was probably an orphan that got out of the orphanage at 18 and that explains some of his flaming anger issues

Also the first one looks bad, when he was an adult she wasn't perving on him as a kid

-Kidd has been told throughout his life he'd be a woman beater and it scares him that he has real feelings for someone

-Bonney tries to act like she hates him but it backfires all the time (especially when she gets drunk which is a lot.)

-Idea that we could use; Bonney might have like a binge eating disorder (or possible bulimia considering she eats a lot all at once) that we could reveal slowly

-Bonney's parents are really traditional and she feels bad that she doesn't wanna get married (kidd eventually just makes them rings and they wear them.)

-Kidd is very territorial (this is in ways like watching his friends get hurt, telling all his friends s.o. s not to hurt them or else, and getting pissy when a male breathes in Bonney's direction.)

-Kidd knows it's wrong but he can't find out how to stop. He just is really close to all of them and he can't stand the thought of any of them getting hurt

- Kidd is a manly mans man and he is proud. He makes weapons out of everything and breaking into his house would be like breaking into a military base

-Bonney is pretty tomboyish and has a hard time meshing with girls (one reason she really wants to become Perona's friend.)

-Her personality is really brash and all

-infact both of theres is

-Bonney always feels bad for being mean to him but since she feels like a creep for her feelings she doesn't know what to do

-Bonney is prideful, so is Kidd. If you doubt her at all she'll mcfreaking wreck you by doing so damn good

-Bonney consults Hawkins a lit since they are the same age but in two different levels of maturity

-Side note: Basil loves all his friends and is ready to be all of their big brother.

-Kidd and her eventually at the same time pull a 'fuck it i can't deal with this anymore.' And it goes like this

-'i love you!'

- 'u sure'

- 'ye'

-Kidd and Bonney actually end up hunting and fishing together

-They have probably made out in a deer stand

-They have a place to smoke meats and boy do they

-Kidd will eat straight off his knife

-Bonney really likes his house. Its unique and very outdoorsy

-kidd's crew could be his orphanage mates, especially like Killer

-Kidd is a mix between goth bf and country bf and that's really sexy of him

-Bonney's parents probably hate him

-Kidd definitely has silently loathed Law from the start

-Kidd has probably been arrested at least once

-Bonney learned to cook from her aunt

-Bonney is constantly angry that people she cooking as a girls only thing

-"DON'T LOOK AT ME I'M STRESS COOKING *Tastes* NOT ENOUGH S A L T"

-Bonney is a power bottom not up for discussion

-A lot of people think Bonney's a lesbian

-Kidd really loves Bonney's cooking and that's his guise to bum at her restaurant

-Kidd can actually cook pretty well and has got up to make her breaky and its cute

-Angry sex? Happens more than you think

-They are both ticking time bombs

-not towards each other to everyone else

That's everything that hit me. I'll wait a bit for extra bits

-kidd definitely goes and checks on the kids he left behind. He's big bro

-Bonney lived close to hicktown 👀 (oh my god, what if her mom is hicklady.)

My mind won't stop on kidd.

Imagine this. 16 year old Kidd. Went fishing and brought back a bunch of fish. Gets told to throw them out. Tells them to bite his ass and goes into a secluded spot to make a fire and cooks the fish and then younger kids come out hungry and he feeds them the whole time having a "iim so damn done" Look on his face.

I gotta document it now before i forget lol

Kidd probably is salty at religion like; where were my damn parents and why did i get to watch all my friends leave. Why did i have to deal with the shitty adults who looked after us >:(

We get to develop hick lady. Bonney isn't religious in my eyes but she knows how to fake it

Kidd's parents probably dropped him off on the orphanage steps. Then he got neglected by the caretakers then the people he made friends with got adopted. His family are the younger kids that never got adopted as he grew up and eventually left. He still checks on em.

Kidd lives out in the boonies so he can weld in peace. He is the only welder prolly in the area (also prolly has some skill as an electrician.) So he makes good money. He might be with a company as well but idk how to set that up.

It's sorta like Armstrong's house placement.

His house is kinda small. One bedroom one bath, stone floors. A fireplace. And basic appliances. And he only has one door for the outside so cold doesn't creep in. The rest are curtains to his rooms. He uses his fireplace and space heaters. Has a king size bed to cry alone in. And lights. His living room is pretty big. His kitchen is average. He definitely has hung up deer heads and prolly stuffed ducks he killed. He probably has a hunting dog that lives inside with him. Its a lot of gray and brown. He has a bear skin rug and he's proud of it.

He's got himself a place outside so he can smoke meats. And a furnace and anvil and all that in a building right next to his smoke house. It's all connected. A wooden porch he built. He probably has a lake in his backyard.

Like i'm thinking he bought a shitty house and a chunk of land and spent a fortune making it how he likes it. Which took a long time.

Bonney probably has a small apartment close to her restaurant. She has to spend a lot of money on rent and pay. But it's a pretty popular place. She's a good ol chef of course. Again she lived in hicktown and moved to the big city ™.

She rarely talks to her parents (i think her dad planted an image of a woman in her head and it made her bulimic.)

And even though Bonney is pretty and such she has major self confidence issues. Because her dad and her mom just let it happen. But she sees them on holidays coz her other family is there. And the only one who doesn't judge kidd hard at first glance is her aunt. Family holidays are drudges for both of them

Lets develop hick lady holidays will always be fun.

I guess she sorta looks like old ass lady Bonney and her dad is op background character 7

Also; Kidd has two dogs. A fully inside dog that's a small little basset hound and then his hunting dog which is a curr. He loves them both

Also they prolly stay like a week- three days on big holidays and hick lady is like "You aren't sleeping in the same room."

Kidd: look lady i've been trying to get to this status for years fuck you

I wanna name her dad James so his family calls him JJ and Kidd's like "What grown man goes by jj" And Bonney's like "just look away."

I think we have a solid plot to start with. And i got the lore pretty well.

The plot is basically~

Kidd and Bonney have a mutual crush on each other but both don't realize and have some perceptions that aren't true (Kidd scared of love coz of what he's been told, thinking he's too immature, Bonney thinking she is too old, not thinking she is a 'real' girl.). They are kinda aggressive to each other (especially bonney) to try and ward their emotions off. Until they eventually both just crack and are shook ™

And we got lil side things. Anger issues. Her eating disorder. His mommy and daddy issues. Her family problems ect.

testing this au out tho ~ angst warning

suffer while I’m on my way to school

~000~

Kai let out a deep sigh as the final school bell rang, lugging his bag onto his shoulder with an uncomfortable sense of dread crawling up his back. It was Friday, and he hated Friday’s the most. There wasn't a club meeting that day, so he was forced to make his way home to be there at a certain time.

He waved off invitations from his friends to go to karaoke or get a snack somewhere in town, even rejecting plans for the weekend with a simple excuse that he had to study.

“Aw, you never come out with us, Kai,” Mizu pouted as she mildly trudged behind the blonde boy who wasn’t wasting any time to get to his shoe locker.

“Really wish I could, you know that,” He sighed for the millionth time in the same manner he usually did, avoiding her puppy eyes as she tried to beg him once more.

“Kai’s got strict parents, nothing we can do about it,” Kurenai cleared his throat, pulling Mizu out of the corner of his field of vision. “We’ll just go with the twins and Kaminari, so get going before you get in trouble,”

“Yeah, see you guys on Monday,” Kai left with a quick half-smile, making his way towards the front gate. Only Kurenai knew what went on inside his home, and helped Kai her away whenever he needed backup with an excuse.

“Kai! Hey, you got a minute?” His science teacher and boxing coach, Natsu called out from the edge of the gate where he stood, on duty to make sure no one was fooling around on their way out.

“Not really, but what’s up?” Kai warmed up a bit to the smile of his favorite teacher, always a little too happy to receive a pat on the head whenever they spoke.

“You still haven’t gotten back to me about training camp coming up this next spring break,” He said, “It’s a lot of fun, so I hope you can join us. If it’s convincing your parents, I can help you out with that! You can tell them that—“

“I’d really love to, Natsu-sensei, but I can’t,” Kai quickly cut him off, grimacing as his teacher’s grin faltered. “I’ve gotta go, I’ll see you,”

He knew he’d be able to go, but decided against the idea entirely; he wasn’t even going to mention it to his parents. There was no way he could leave his mother alone for a whole two weeks...he just couldn’t do it. He was afraid she’d...ther was no knowing what he would return returning to if he left.

“Mom, I’m home,” The second-year called out as he slipped off his shoes, eyes meeting the tired smile of the woman he adored.

“Welcome home, Kai,” She sighed into his hair as she wrapped her arms around his torso. “How was school?”

“Not too bad,” He shrugged, trying not to hold her too tightly as he hugged her back. “I missed you,”

“I missed you too,”

If Kai let himself, he would have turned into a bawling mess right there and then. He always felt like it was a miracle to come home to his mother still breathing, still able to stand.

“Sit down and I’ll finish making dinner, okay? You need some rest,” Lucy nodded as Kai pressed a kiss into the crown of her head.

“Change out of your school clothes first,”

This was their routine every day after school. Kai would come home to his haggard mother who had to spend her life indoors, cleaning and over-cleaning everything out in the open. He would do what he could while his father was still out at work, letting his mother at least have an hour to run her feet and take a break watching television.

What stung most at times was that his father never laid a hand on him, only his mother. He’d see them fight sometimes, she’d get slapped, maybe grabbed and dragged off upstairs, all while he sat and watched his young mother lose her light day after day. She wouldn’t let him defend her, because of course, she didn’t want him to get hurt. But how much more could she take? It wasn’t enough to give him headphones so that he could block out the sounds of her pain anymore. Didn’t he deserve to take on the burden now?

When the food was done and still warming, he’d go up and find the first aid kit he always kept hidden before steeling himself and tending to his mother’s wounds.

There was another fresh bruise on her arm, usually telling Kai that she’d been grabbed entirely too tightly. Seeing those were never as tough as seeing the ones on her stomach...because then he knew she’d been kicked.

Natsu had taught them basic first aid in the club, how to wrap up a bruise from a fight and the right way to press against the stomach in case of broken ribs. Kai always made sure to check her carefully as she lied down on the couch while he kneeled beside her.

“Looks like you’re alright,” He sighed and glared down at the dark purple mark that marred her skin. “I didn’t feel any broken bones,”

“That’s good,” Lucy smiled again as her son spread a salve against the mark before bandaging it over. “Thank you, Kai,”

His cheek felt warm as she cupped the side of his face, her thumb wiping away the tear he failed to hold in.

“I promise, mom. I’m gonna get us out of here, I’ll save you,”

“I know, baby, I know,”

A timer on the microwave went off, startling them from their heartfelt moment. It was a warning they always gave themselves; ten minutes before he was home.

While Kai put away the evidence he’d taken care of his mother, Lucy would make sure everything in the kitchen was one-hundred percent before carefully plating her husband's food and setting it on the table. Once everything was set up correctly, the two would stand at the entrance of their house, hearing the hum of his car pulling up right on schedule.

“Welcome home, dear,”

“Welcome home, dad,”

They were experts at forcing a fake smile, the head of the Lore household appealed by their appearance of admiration.

“It’s nice to come home to such sweet smiles,” He grinned as he handed off his things to Lucy who was quick to take them upstairs.

“You’ve gotten taller, haven’t you, Kai? I fear I’ll be shorter than you in no time,” The son chuckled and shook his head as his hair was ruffled; Natsu’s hand was better.

“Mom keeps me healthy is all,” He would shrug before they both went to sit down at the table. Lucy would already be walking out of the kitchen with a beer ready from the fridge, the three sitting down to a quiet meal that seemed neverending.

“I got a call at work today,” Rufus said as he looked to Kai with a slight curve of his lips. “It was from your boxing coach, he said that there’s a spring training camp for your club coming up in a few weeks,”

“O-Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting to mention that,” The younger blonde laughed as his father shook his head.

“Really, you’ve always been so airheaded, he gets it from you, Lucy,” He chuckled as she plainly nodded with a smile. “Make sure you bring the paperwork home on Monday, I don’t want you falling behind the other students when there’s a good opportunity like this to strengthen yourself,”

“Yes, sir,” Kai said as his father still smiled, taking a swig from the glass bottle he had. His stomach twisted as he held in a curse, mentally punching a sandbag. There was no avoiding it now if his dad was expecting the papers to be delivered.

The squeak of his mother’s chair pulled his eyes from his food, her body moving at top speed towards the bathroom on the first floor. Kai could see his father irk as she had yet to be excused, the loud sound of her tossing up what she’d eaten filling the house.

“Gosh, your mother has no manners, it’s dinner time for goodness sake,” Rufus clicked his tongue as he continued eating, glaring as Lucy soon made her entrance back into the dining room.

“I-I’m sorry, sweetheart, I’ve been feeling sick all day,” Lucy said as she sat back down, drinking slowly from her glass of water.

“That’s the third day in a row,” He sighed, his beer bottle clanging loudly onto the table, making her flinch. “I’ll have you see the doctor tomorrow, which is too bad really, I wanted to take us out to the beach for some family fun,”

“I’ve got a test to study for anyways, dad,” Kai spoke up, the hand not moving his fork gripping the chair tightly under the tablecloth.

“That’s good, you should focus on your studies. I’ll take your mother out, and maybe we’ll pick up something nice for dinner since she can’t seem to keep her own cooking down,”

OH AND for the other ask thing, mayhaps 🎯 🔭 🎞 🥐 and 💌? this is also quite a few hgjkghd if u don't wanna do them all that's fine!!!! i hope u can find a moment of relaxation tonight

it’s no worries!! i’m really appreciative of these because my sister and her fiance are talking about me flying home in the other room and i am truly tryna be like ⬇️ thank you for the kind wishes man… you already know this but ilysm ; J ;

the rest of this gets really long, so i’m gonna put this under a readmore!

🎯 if you could gain any skill instantly, what would it be?

broo this question is like a callout post… i have a list of skills i’ve been meaning to learn since at least august of 2018 that has regretfully gone untouched + unloved.. I would say, either the ability to speak spanish or ASL? or maybe how to hand embroider, or to do calligraphy? (fun fact: i bought a quill at last year’s ren faire, mostly as a prop for the game of whodunnit we do every day + I was going to learn to use it properly but it’s sat in my RF tub since november.. la tragedie) i’m really godawful at cooking and i don’t know how to bake, so maybe i should prioritize those..i desperately dream of baking loaves of bread for my friends and family, wrapping them in twine + writing kind notes, and hand-delivering them.. uGH ;J;

🔭 what’s your go-to topic to learn about when you’re bored?

it really depends on what i’m into! most of the time, i love deep-diving and learning the weird ins-and-outs of the lore of whatever i’m really into! my brother can testify for me staying up all night on the dragon ball wiki trying to make heads or tails of the different timelines.. August-November, though, i love learning about handicrafts! i have an entire playlist on youtube dedicated to leatherworking, bookbinding, woodburning, + other funky crafts that i’ll hopefully one day delve into so that Corylana can evolve from Ditsy invader zim-kinning elf to a tru Explorer of the Woods who has seen shit + lived to tell the tale! c:

🎟 what are some artists/bands whose music brings back childhood memories for you?

i’m such an audiophile so this question, i think, is probably the loveliest one to be asked ^ ^ a really important thing to understand about this answer is that i spent the latter half of my formative years locked up in a house all day w/ 2008 internet as my primary source of entertainment.

most of my childhood is tied up in songs as opposed to bands. my sister and i were really Addicted to yugioh amvs, so we listened to a ton of alt rock bc that’s what all the amvs were set to? the most iconic one was this joey x mai amv from like 2008 that i am SO glad still exists.. he is everything you want Stays one of my favorite songs solely bc of polarshipping (this is a Lie that song SLAPS) chasing cars, eclipse of the heart, iris, you and me, and hfhsh remember the name were really Crucial songs ;v; i was also ObSESSED w britney although my mom hates her + i vividly remember that they used to play hips don’t lie Every Single Time we went to eat at buffalo wild wings, so it became another obsession. my mom really loved ymca so we listened to that all the time, too c:

also FUCK my sister brought this up… the first 3 seconds of untouched by the veronicas sets off my fight or flight response because SO many people used it for their iconic 2008-2010 “xyz productions” title cards, FUCK.

things changed once we moved back to north carolina (read: my sister and i became mortal enemies?) i’m about to oust myself but vocaloid was such a huge part of my childhood (it’s also why i joined choir at all, which is hilarious considering that’s basically the rest of my life lol) i enjoyed a TON of different artists, but i remember for a fact that i was obsessed with wowaka, deco*27 (egomama and aimai elegy were particular faves) (ALSO TWO BREATHS WALKING + LOVE DISTANCE LONG AFFAIR WAIT.. WAIT…. OMG), and jin (ms. kagerou project....

on a mildly unrelated note (does hs count as one’s childhood? hm), disney’s candlelight processional brings back so many warm memories from high school! although I cannot fuck with the hallelujah chorus, even 2 years after graduation, because it brings me back to the first time I performed it + my throat locked up on stage and i couldn’t breathe consistently for like 4 minutes! ; J ; i vividly remember debating whether or not i could make it through the song w/o passing out or sitting down (if you sat down to be carried out during the performance, you didn’t receive your complimentary tickets bc you didn’t perform the whole show. My dilemma was that Hallelujah is the final song of the show + i had powerhoused through every song before it)

🥐 what food is your go-to when you want something easy to make/prepare?

in moments of dire hunger, my brother and i always resort to ramen with broccoli! ramen is a1 on its own but there’s something about the broccoli that truly elevates it.. idk. i cannot wait for when i have more time to cook + look back on this answer and cackle at my lack of cooking skills ;v;

💌 what’s something you love about the last friend/family member you texted?

the last person i texted was my brother ben! and bro where the fuck do i even Begin with benji, oh my god.. he and i have been through the trials and tribulations of childhood alliance + betrayal, we’ve walked through the fires of hell + lived to tell the tale of it to our mom even though we both agreed we wouldn’t snitch.. benji is a legend

I feel the same way about ben that you do about lj! we’re almost always on the same wavelength about stuff, and i feel like i can talk to him about genuinely anything c: we swing wildly between being Literally Incoherent and manic to being very real and sometimes philosophical and it is always yeehaw Times. one of the things i appreciate most about ben is that he’s SUCH a good sounding board for ideas- i always bounce my new concepts off of him and he almost always has something interesting to add or consider. sergio, and most of my other aus, would deadass Not Exist without ben’s inputs c:

#long post #ruth you are such a blessing bc the second question got me to drag my sister + brother-in-law outta their airport talk and we spent a frfr #somehow they're still on youtube w/ no problem despite featuring full-length songs??#2008 youtube is Indomitable #anyhow i feel much much better after answering these..thank you so much! you always make my day better and ily bro ;J;#sriracha ask game #fullmetal-the-last-alchemist
