JonaEri week 2022 day 6: Warmth

"Oh how much do I miss those warm summer breezes of July as I remember those lovely afternoons passed at your side under the shade of our favorite tree."

Arold they're lesbians~✨!

"My heart felt as though was going to burst out of my chest from how overwhelmed I was with love for her as we exchanged our vows and sealed our matrimony with a kiss. I would have kissed her a thousand times at the altar had I been allowed. When my heart has felt void and like ice she nurtured me with her affection, that I felt my life had worth and I had something to live for, to fight for... I’m so excited for our years of happiness that will follow this, spending each and every day with her in my arms feeling so very content." - excerpt from the diaries of Jonathan Joestar 5th Earl Joestar, dated February 3rd 1889

@jonaeriweek day 2: Legacy/wedding

I know I have drawn their wedding pictures frequently but they're the formal, official ones, I need to have one informal affectionate picture. 💖

JonaEri week 2022 Day 5: Adversity

(( I was planning to post it on Ao3 but I discovered you have to be invited and the queue is at least two week :,) So in the meanwhile I’m going to post it here))

Context: Phantom fates is a Au of mine created based on @vampire-joestar​ vampire Jonathan Au. As they promised to a vampire Jonathan transformed by Dio, Erina and Speedwagon lived their long human lives at the side of their beloved Jojo. But as they grew old to a venerable age, it was clear that Erina and Speedwagon would inevitably die in a close future, leaving Jojo alone. They knew Jonathan would still have Joseph and his family but they too would die eventually. Not wishing for Jonathan to go trough that cycle of grief alone, Erina goes to Speedwagon with the idea to use one of the remaining stone masks to turn themselves into vampires. They were supposed to transforms at the same time after Speedwagon finish dealing with stuff at the SPW foundation but Erina felt death coming soon and had to transforms in 1950. (Speed transforms in 1952). During the mid 1980's, Erina and Jonathan where blessed with their second child, Giorno Edward Joestar. Despite them being vampires, Giorno was born human. Giorno was born with his papa blue hair but it started to turn blond as Jonathan developed a stand. But as Dio came back, so came the Stand curse. Both Giorno and Holly were terribly inflicted by it. Jonathan went with the crusaders, Erina stayed in japan with her medical team to take care of Holly and Giorno and Speedwagon went back to his foundation to help monitor the crusaders.

The house was silent, the few occupants having gone to sleep. Everyone but Erina. Being a vampire, she did not need to sleep, although it was something she regularly indulges in to give her a semblance of humanity. The bedroom she was in was only lit up by a single night lamp, giving an orange hue to the room. More medical equipment had been brought for Giorno and Holly as their condition continued to worsen. Erina raised her eyes from the medical book she was reading and looked at her son and great granddaughter with a pained expression. It had been weeks now since the curse had inflicted them and Jonathan and the others left to find Dio. Their body and spirit had been resilient so far but they were starting to become more and more ill. Erina took Giorno tiny hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“ Just hang out a little bit more Sunshine, papa and the others are going to make things right and you will be all better. He will not take you, not you too…”

A tear rolled down Erina's cheek. She was fully aware that Giorno had not for long and would most likely die before Holy did. Perhaps it was due to him being a young child, maybe it was because he got sick before Holly or maybe it was due to the fact that he was a more direct descendant to Jonathan than Holy. All that Erina knew was that her little boy was about to die and she couldn’t bear the thought of losing a second child to Dio. Suddenly the phone in the room started to ring. The vampire quickly picked up the phone, not wishing the ringing to wake up anybody in the house. Who was calling in the middle of the night anyway?

“You have reached the Kujo residence. The family is absent for the moment, may I take your message”

“Oh Granny it’s you! I was expecting Suzi to answer.” Came Joseph 's voice from the phone.

“Joseph! I am relieved to hear from you! Suzi has been asleep for a moment I’m afraid. Do you want me to wake her up?” Erina asked.

“Right, the time zones, I forgot about them. No need to wake her up, just tell her me and the others are alright. We just arrived in Egypt and we will start traveling north to Cairo shortly. If everything goes right we should be there by the end of the day. How is Holy and Giorno fairing?”

“Not good I am afraid. We had to put Holly on a ventilator two days ago and her fever has gotten higher. Her heartbeat is stable but a bit slow, nothing alarming for the moment however. We are keeping a close eye on it.”

“And what about Giorno?”

“…”

“Granny?”

“Joseph… Could you pass me to your grandfather if he is with you? I need to talk to him about Giorno”

“Of course.”

Erina heard Joseph call Jonathan name and some shuffling before her husband picked up the phone.

“Hello dear, you wanted to talk to me?” Came Jonathan 's voice.

Hearing his voice brought comfort to Erina, she had not heard of him in weeks, only hearing about the progress from Robert as the Speedwagon foundation was monitoring the crusaders. Erina wished she could be at their side to help, but she knew Giorno and Holly needed her. Beside, there was only one super Aja stone and Jonathan was using it to be protected from the sun.

“Yes… I need to talk to you about Giorno state and I do not bring good news…”

“Go on…”

Erina looked at Giorno. The beeping of the heart rate monitor would be annoying to someone but for Erina it was comforting, a reminder that the child was still clinging to life. He looked so tiny and frail under all the medical equipment that helped him stay alive. It pained Erina to no end to see her son like this. Gods, she could already feel the tears forming her eyes before she even started to explain the situation to Jonathan.

“Giorno… Giorno is not going to last for long. His fever has reached dangerous levels and even with the ventilator he struggles to breath. Jonathan, yesterday he… he flatlined…”

“H-he what? Is he-?”

“We brought him back!” Exclaimed the woman, interrupting him before he could finish his sentence. “Giorno is still alive but…”

The vampire broke down into a sob as she recalled the event of yesterday.

“It took everything to reanimate him! I really thought we were going to lose him! If that wasn’t of Emily’s quick thinking he would have…I was not even at his side when his heart stopped. I was in the garden and if it weren’t for the fact I’m a vampire, I would have never have heard the monitor alarm! Thank god she was there! I would have never forgiven myself if he had died!”

“Erina…”

“He won’t survive if his heart stops a second time. It’s painful seeing him closer to death’s door every day. I can’t bear losing a child, not a second time!”

Jonathan was unable to speak a word as he listened to his wife's heart wrenching sobs. There were so many things he wanted to say but the feeling of guilt and failure were like two hands over his mouth, keeping him from speaking. Last night's dream was still haunting him. A child version of George was asking why he abandoned him to die and why he was doing the same to his little brother. The scene quickly had changed for George and Giorno laying dead at Dio's feet who was sitting on a throne, taunting Jonathan; “How many members of your family will I be able to kill before you finish me off for good hmm~? Oh but let us not fool ourselves, I WILL have the time to kill every last one of them because you are too weak to finish me! I will rise from ashes again and again and you will continue to carry your shame for eternity!”

The worst part is, he was right. Dio would never stop targeting his family. All because he had been careless during the Windknight battle and Dio escaped, robbing him of his humanity at the same time.

“I…I made a decision” Erina said with a shaky voice. “I know you will disagree with it so I will not go through if you do not approve of it, but it might save Giorno if the worst were to happen.”

“What are you thinking about?”

“If…” Erina hesitated “If Giorno were to flatline again and before it is too late, I will use my healing blood on him. He will most likely become a vampire because of this. I know vampirism is something that you would never wish on anyone, it was different for Robert and me as it was our own choice, but I am running out of options to save him. I am aware it will not be his decision and it will be forced on him like it was for you. If he grows up hating me for turning him into a vampire then so be it. I prefer to have a child that will hate me than a dead child.”

“…”

“Jonathan?”

“I never wished for Giorno to become a vampire. I wanted him to live a fulfilling human life and enjoy every moment of it, but I agree. I can’t bear the thought of losing him as well. If it comes to that, we will be there to guide him to this new life.”

“I plan on doing the same to Holy, but I will not take this decision. Joseph, Suzi Q and Jotaro will be the one to decide. Suzi Q needs time to think about it. Can you talk about this to Joseph and Jotaro?”

“Of course, but Erina?”

“Yes dear?” She replied.

“We are almost there, they will be saved and soon they will get better. Please trust us”

“You know I already do Jojo” Erina said, a fond smile forming on her lips.

JonaEriweek2022 Day 1: Reunion After being caught by Jonathan, Erina placed Jonathan arm in a sling. With him being now conscious, the nurse made a quick check up before bringing a nearby chair close to the bed. She had been nursing him and cooling his burn non stop for the last 3 days and night, barely getting any rest, yet the exhaustion seemed to disappear for the rest of the night as the two found each other again and talked about the lost years. Aka the scene we should have had. Also I gave Erina the nurse outfit she was going to have in the OVA cause she deserves a real nurse outfit. Many seem to not realize the reason why she was at the hospital was because she was actually working there.

"I don’t remember much of what we talked about, but it was nice."
