~Fallout 4 Companions React to Being Cheated On~ (By you, the Commonwealth's infamous heartbreaker.)

Ada would be appalled when she walked in on you and KL-E-0 making love on the armour workbench. "I don't believe my eye. That technique you're using is simply appalling!" she'd declare, shoving you to one side. "Sorry about them, babes. But now that I'm here, why don't we take this opportunity to have a practical demonstration?" Ada would purr, drawing a metal finger along KL-E-0's chin. "I thought you'd never ask," KL-E-0 would smirk, wrapping her slender arms around Ada's steel-clad shoulders. "Show me what that custom body can do, handsome. The shop can wait for a few hours..."

Cait wouldn't seem particularly bothered. "You and the Mariner, then, is it? I'd never have seen that coming!" she'd laugh. "Why don't I go and get Arturo or that lady from Vault 81, and we can have a double date? No, don't get up, sure I can fetch them right now if you want!" Cait would wander off, and then, after a reasonable wait, start beating up the nearest mannequin with a sledgehammer. She may be polyamorous, but you still should have told her you were seeing the Mariner, and sadly Cait doesn't know how to express that feeling while maintaining her party-girl persona. She settles for being increasingly passive-aggressive (and then just plain aggressive) until you get the message.

"B-by George!" Codsworth would cry, dropping his tea tray. "Sir and/or Mum, what on Earth is happening? I don't- I don't- I don't understand..." Poor Codsworth would want to believe it was all just a misunderstanding, and that somehow you'd cheated on him completely by accident, but in his CPU he'd know it was no accident. In tears, he'd pack his bags and hover out of your life forever.

"I was thoroughly aware zat exclusive relationships are ze most popular variety," Curie would weep with anger. "But never could I 'ave imagined 'ow painful it would feel, seeing you, twisted around zat jumpsuit-wearing harlot Kasumi! Y-you made me human! You showed me 'ow it felt to be in love! Was it all just a game?! Did you merely think you were toying with ze pretend feelings of a poor, naive little robot?! Putain! Get out of my sight, or I SWEAR I shall kill you!"

Paladin Danse would seem, if anything, to underreact. "I see," he'd growl. "Not like I could ever hope compete with Paladin Brandis's rogueish bad-boy charms. Well, I hope you're happy together..." And that would be that. ...Or so it would seem until you tuned into the Brotherhood of Steel's radio channel. "People of the Commonwealth, do not fall in love with the individual calling themself the Sole Survivor! They are single-handedly responsible for a trail of broken hearts from here to Sanctuary Hills," Scribe Haylen would recite. "Paladin Danse would like me to add that, contrary to some of his previous remarks, the Sole Survivor is terrible at kissing. And now, the weather..."

"I know I can't really complain about you keeping secrets," Deacon would say, "but you've got to be upfront about these things! If it's... if we're just something casual, say so! Don't just leave me hanging until I find you shacked up with some other handsome devil, okay? ...Okay, then. When do I get a turn with Fahrenheit?"

Dogmeat would be deeply upset. "How could you?! And with my sister, of all people!" he'd bark. "I never treated you wrongly. I was always there when you needed me, I fetched your slippers and that tennis ball you kept throwing for some reason! I was the PERFECT GENTLEMAN! But no, apparently that isn't ENOUGH for you!" he'd howl with despair. Dogmeat would flee into the night, his tears mingling with the rain dripping down his snout, and you'd never see him again.

Porter Gage wouldn't exactly be thrilled, but you're the Overboss of Nuka World, so what can he do? (Tell you about a secret stash of Nuka Cola Quantum, but neglect to mention that it's currently stored in a super mutant behemoth's fridge, that's what.)

Glory would kick you in the groin. "That's what you GET for playing stupid games, you wanker!" Since Glory is wearing a brand-new pair of adjustable women's Chore™ boots by the Original Muck Boot Company™, made of flexible cloth on the lower leg and sturdy rubber on the foot, her kick would be devastating.

"Wow," Hancock would chuckle, seeing you curled up in bed with Bobbi No-Nose. "Just... wow. I was feeling kinda bad about seeing Moe Cronin and Trader Rylee behind your back, in addition to sleeping with Mel behind Bobbi's back, but not any more! ...What? Oh, I know Mel's gay, but we're still doing it behind your back, Miss Noseless Wonder."

Old Longfellow would drink himself into a daze and forget about you.

MacCready would drink himself into a daze, shoot you in the head, and help himself to your things.

Nick should've known better than to get mixed up with you. From the moment you slunk into his office, lips red with lies and Maybelline, eyes dark with broken dreams, he could tell you were trouble. There was something about you, though - maybe it was how you drew yourself up like a cat when the detective held your hand, or maybe it was how those hips of yours swayed like an anaconda. None of it matters now, though. Nick opened up his heart to you, sweet cheeks, and he sure as Hell ain't making that mistake again. (You were found snogging Mr Zwicky, as it happens, in the bus on top of the school.)

Piper would confront you loudly and vociferously in public. "What the Glowing Sea was that, Blue?! Just how long've you been seeing Ellie Perkins behind my back, huh? What's going on with the two of you? And does Ellie think I'm cute?!" The questions would come in faster than you could make excuses, but Piper would offer you an olive branch when her head was clearer. She'd still be your friend, as long as you'd learned your lesson and wouldn't toy with a starry-eyed reporter's heart again.

Preston would be heartbroken, to the point that he wouldn't even be able to look at you for a few days. Nevertheless, he'd swallow his feelings and try to stay on good terms with you, because the Minutemen need a talented builder/pest control specialist on their side. What's his happiness worth compared to the safety of the whole Commonwealth?

Strong would wander in while you're in bed with Marcus and not react at all. "Strong here to borrow torch," he'd say, taking a torch out of the drawers. "Don't break the handcuffs, all right, Marcus?" he'd add, wandering back out of the room.

"I don't believe your nerve, seeing Strong behind my back! What's WRONG with you?!" Marcus would be weeping with fury and occasionally throwing things at you while he packed his bags. "I thought we had something special, but no, I guess I'm just another warm, green body to be used and thrown away! You pig! I'm taking the kids and moving back to Jacobstown."

X6-88 wouldn't know what to feel to begin with. He isn't programmed to feel anything, really; the sex was just to give you some enrichment. X6-88 is a Courser, nothing more. But why does he tense up so, and where does that fire in his heart come from, when he sees you in bed with Doctor Li? Kissing you and caressing you, letting you try on her lab coat... There's nothing else for it. One of these days, the good doctor will have to suffer a sudden, fatal accident.

Danganronpa Rebirth - Voice Actor Headcanons.

So here’s the latest update of this little series on my blog where I assign official voice actors to characters that don’t have them. Today we’re doing another Fanganronpa, Danganronpa Rebirth.

Now as per usual, I need to point out a few things.

This is NOT CANON. These are HEADCANONS and are unofficial. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.

I am aware of RebirthVoices being a thing, and this post is not to besmirch them or their work or effort. This is just a hypothetical cast that Chunsoft would probably hire assuming Rebirth was actually a canon game in the series.

I did the same thing with other fangans in the past, SDRA2 and Blowback. Check those out if you’re interested.

This series ended up becoming a lot more popular than I initially thought, so I’m just gonna keep up the apparent good work. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy my ideas. Or don’t. Your choice.

@alicesoneandonly

Continued from here:

Gasping like a turkey, the girl immediately let the fluffy white ears go before staring at the watch that had mysteriously turned into a gun. “Gooahh! What an amazing magic trick!”

“Can you do that again!?” The girl questioned while looking like a curious cat. The hair didn’t help much. ☆

Dancing for Dummies (FE: Three Houses Short Fic)

Byleth-Sama: Love is War (Part 2)

-----

Part Listings Here!

All AU’s involved listed here!

-----

With the rush now on to have Byleth choosing her over Sara for the Ball, Megumi must find out how to be more appealing.

Unfortunately for her, everyone she knows has no idea how any of this stuff works either.

-----

The next morning after Part 1...

[Afterschool Hours - Trails of Cold Steel]

Once the bell rang, everyone got up from their seats and went outside.

The three houses and House Isekai began mingling among themselves, spreading the daily news and gossip as the faculty met up to have lunch.

It was only a select few that noticed Megumi and Sara’s strange behavior.

(Kazuma) “What’s up with them?”

Rean, Dimitri, Darkness, and Dedue looked over at the faculty members.

(Dedue) “What do you mean?”

(Darkness) “Are you referring to Instructor Sara and Megunee?”

(Rean) “Now that you mention it, they didn’t seem like themselves when teaching. Those two are usually pretty friendly with one another.”

(Dedue) “I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.”

(Kazuma) “Well, duh. You’re not in our class.”

(Rean) “I’ll ask later, though I’m fairly positive I’ll be brushed off by Sara...”

(Dimitri) “Then I’ll ask Megunee.”

(Darkness) “Guess that settles that. Now, what were you talking about, Rean?”

(Rean) “Why does Aqua shout at herself, something about gremlins?”

(Kazuma) “Ooooh...That...”

As that conversation continued on normally, Dimitri couldn’t help but think about what they said about Sara and Megumi.

Dimitri was a bit concerned for Megumi. She normally didn’t have any problems with anyone here, yet he couldn’t shake off this feeling of dread.

...

Once the staff got their desired food, they began making their way to the table.

Sara reached for a bread from the basket, only to find Megumi’s hand reaching for it as well. They looked up and made eye contact, which caused both of their brows to furrow.

(Sara) “...Sakura.”

(Megumi) “Valestein.”

The two stared at each other for a solid minute, refusing to say anything more.

A tall shadow engulfed the light they were at which scared the hell out of them.

(Dimitri) “...Uh, pardon me.”

(Sara) “Oh, m-my bad!”

(Megumi) “Excuse me!”

They began to depart, but before Megumi could join the table, she heard Dimitri call out to her.

(Megumi) “N-No worries. We’re fi-...Actually are you free after lunch?”

(Dimitri) “I do believe so.”

(Megumi) “Great. We’ll talk afterwards.”

Megumi left, making Dimitri scratch his head.

(Dimitri) “This does not bode well...”

Sothis was watching the interaction go down and chuckled to herself.

(Sothis) “Well well...Looks like I should help get this going too.”

Sothis floated away towards the courtyard while everyone else at their lunch.

Later...

[Funny Footsteps - Fire Emblem: Three Houses]

(Dimitri) “...So this all started because you two just wanted to dance with Byleth? Couldn’t you both just dance with him?”

(Megumi) “Yes, well...I-It’s the principle of it all! Besides, I have to get chosen first! Imagine what I would have to tell my students if their teacher couldn’t get a dance first!”

(Dimitri) “Well to be fair, there is most likely a lot of other people who wish to dance with him. Besides, I wasn’t aware Yuki and the others cared for things like that.”

(Megumi) “It’s my pride on the line, Dimitri!”

Dimitri didn’t know what to say. He had never seen Megumi this flustered before.

Especially about Byleth.

(Dimitri) “Well, what is your strategy for winning over Sara?”

(Megumi) “Hm...I’m not sure. Actually, I don’t know how to dance properly at a ball. Something like this would never have come up in my previous life.”

(Dimitri) “Well, I am no expert by any means, but I did have to learn for attending these balls back in the Kingdom. Perhaps I can be of assistance?”

(Megumi) “...Actually, I think I know what you can help me with!”

(Dimitri) “And what would that be?”

(Megumi) “I heard from some others that you gave a dagger to a girl you liked-’

(Dimitri) HURK?!

(Megumi) “Maybe Byleth would like that-...Dimitri are you okay?”

Dimitri had unwillingly curled his hands into a fist, wanting to strangle Sylvain. His eye was twitching but he took a deep breath.

(Dimitri) “P-Perfectly fine, yes. Anyways, yes, Byleth might like that.”

(Megumi) “Do you think you could perhaps find a good one? I promise to pay you for your trou-”

(Dimitri) “Ah, pay it no mind, Megunee.-”

(Megumi) “It’s Professor Sakura-”

(Dimitri) “-It’s the least I can do for all you’ve done for me and my class. Since the day is still young I oughtta get to work finding one.”

Dimitri got up and nodded at Megumi.

(Dimitri) “I wish you luck!”

(Megumi) “Thank you.”

Dimitri left, leaving Megumi by herself in the courtyard.

(Megumi) “Now, what to do...”

Later that evening...

After a little while, Megumi walked past the dorms and towards the greenhouse. When she entered, she was going to think on what to do for the ball and how to get his attention.

As she watered the plants, she heard a familiar voice call out to her.

(Yuki’s Voice) “Megunee!”

(Megumi) “Hm? Oh, Yuki-chan!”

She ran in the room with a bright smile.

(Yuki) “I’ve been looking all over for you! Minako and Kasumi have been wanting to see you!”

(Megumi) “Huh? What for?”

(Yuki) “You’re wanting to dance with Byleth-sensei, right?”

Megumi almost dropped her water can as she yelped.

(Megumi) “W-WHAT?! Who told you that?!”

(Yuki) “Yuuri-san did! The rest of House Isekai knows! Actually, I think the other houses know too.”

(Megumi) “WHAT?!”

(Yuki) “Jeez, you’re a little slow today. Now come on, let’s get going we have to get you ready!”

Yuki took Megumi’s hand and dragged her off towards the Training Hall.

-----

Earlier...

Ainz sat down at the head of the table as the others slowly arrived.

Albedo knelt by his side, her head facing down.

(Albedo) “Lord Ainz, everyone has been gathered as ordered.”

Ainz nodded and lookde to the door.

The first to arrive was Rean, followed by Edelgard, Dimitri, and Yuuri.

The next was Kazuma, Akira, the Arisato siblings, and lastly Yu.

They all took their seats and looked to Ainz.

(Ainz) “Albedo.”

(Albedo) “Yes, Lord Ainz?”

(Ainz) “...What exactly are we here for?”

(Albedo) “...Absolve me of my negligence milord, what do you mean?”

(Ainz) “I wasn’t the one who ordered everyone here. Did anyone here do so?”

(Minato) “No. I was told it was urgent.”

(Minako) “Same here.”

(Claude) “Don’t look at me.”

(Edelgard) “I’m not sure why WE were invited, honestly.”

(Dimitri) “Well clearly we’re all confused, who was the one who-”

(Kazuma) “It was me, actually.”

Everyone turned to Kazuma.

(Kazuma) “So, a little green birdy tipped me off to something VERY intriguing, something that I thought you all might wanna hear!”

(Ainz) “And what would that be?”

(Kazuma) “Our dear Sara and Megunee, are having a war! A war for Byleth’s affection, and I’m taking the bets!”

(Everyone) “...”

(Rean) “You REALLY called us all together just to tell us that?”

(Albedo) “Insignificant little...! HOW DARE YOU MANIPULATE US TO SATISFY YOUR OWN GREED!-”

(Claude) “I’m not opposed to a bet, honestly.”

(Yuuri) “Of course you aren’t.”

(Ainz) “Besides, the winner is obvious isn’t it?”

(Dimitri) “Yes, the winner is clearly Megunee-”

(Edelgard) “Valestein-”

(Claude) “A good tie, honestly.”

“...”

(Everyone) “What?”

(Minako) “Uh, the winner of that’s going to be Megunee. Haven’t you seen the two together, they look adorable!”

(Rean) “I’m inclined to disagree. I think Sara is more his type.”

(Yu) “You’re just saying that because she’s your teacher back in your world.”

(Kazuma) “Meh, my gang thinks that Sara’s gonna win too.”

(Ainz) “Is this seriously something we’re arguing right now?”

(Edelgard) “Sara will be the victor.”

(Dimitri) “Not if I have anything to say about it! I promised Megunee that she’d be getting the dance!”

(Claude) “Uh guys? Aren’t we getting a liiitle too heated about-”

(Minato) “Then it seems like its war.”

(Minako) “WAAAAARRR!”

(Yuuri) “Oh dear.”

-----

(Minako) “Aaaaand that’s about the gist of it!”

(Megumi) “I cannot believe this...”

(Kasumi) “From what I heard from Akira-senpai, this really ballooned up, didn’t it?”

(Yuki) “We’re not going to let Sara win this, which is why I called in some backup!”

A knock came from the door and opened with a hearty laugh.

(Alois) “Professor Sakura, there you are!”

(Megumi) “Oh dear god, no-”

(Alois) “So, you need some help in this fight, eh? Well worry not, we’re here to help!”

(Kasumi) “Dimitri-senpai is currently trying to find the perfect gift, right? Well, Minako, Alois, Yuki and I will help you learn how to dance!”

(Minako) “If you wanna score a man, YOU GOTTA DO THE HUSTLE!”

Minako spun around and pointed her finger up in the air, then pointed back into the ground, and repeated the same step over and over.

Kasumi, Megumi, and Alois watched awkwardly while Yuki joined in.

(Kasumi) “...Minako-senpai? This is a Ball, not a disco.”

(Megumi) “And aren’t you too young to know what the Hustle is?”

(Yuki) “Eh? How old are you, Megunee?”

(Megumi) “A-ANYWAYS! K-Kasumi, Alois, what do you guys have?”

(Kasumi) “Oooh! Well, there is ballet dancing you could do with your partner!”

Kasumi took a step back and bent her knees while putting her hands near her stomach.

(Kasumi) “One, and two!-”

Extending one foot into the air while keeping the other foot on the ground, she started spinning.

With her flexibility, her hand managed to touch the foot in the air and turned to Megumi.

(Kasumi) “Sakura-sensei! Could you please follow suit?”

(Yuki) “I think that’d rip her dress...”

(Megumi) “I-It would-”

(Yuki) “She’s a bit too large to do those crazy bends!”

(Megumi) “HUH?!”

(Alois) “That’s ballet dancing, not ball dancing! We need something a bit more simple! In these dances in the Monastery, you and your partner hold hands together and just simply step to the sides! I’m not sure what you kids have grown up thinking what a ball is!”

(Yuki) “What kind of music will it be? Is it classy? Rock? Pop?”

(Minako) “I don’t think he knows what those are, and if I had to guess, it’s string instruments right?”

(Alois) “You’re correct! And in fact, before I got here, I asked a friend who was musically attuned!”

(Megumi) “Oh, you mean Elliot from Class VII?”

(Alois) “No, it’s someone rooting for you!”

SLAM!

(Minako) “OH MY GOD.”

(Kasumi) “He can play instruments?”

(Yuki) “Hi Slayer!”

Doomguy waved at Yuki and turned to the others.

(Megumi) “WHY WOULD YOU INVITE SLAYER TO PLAY CLASSICAL MUSIC?!”

(Alois) “Oh relax, he’s only here as an example! Instructor Slayer, you can play classical music on that weird lute you have, right?”

Doomguy motioned his hand in a so-so manner.

(Alois) “Then it’s perfect! Yuki if you’d please!”

Yuki happily grabbed Megumi’s hand while Minako started going for cover.

(Kasumi) “Senpai?”

(Alois) “ALRIGHT, LET THE MUSIC BEGIN!”

Doomguy slammed a speaker behind him and put his fingers to the guitar-

BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

(Megumi) “W-WHY?!”

(Alois) “W-WHAT? I CANNOT HEAR YOU!”

(Yuki) “DID YOU SAY SOMETHING ALOIS?!”

(Kasumi) “WHAAAAT?”

(Minako) “SPEAK UP YOU GUYS!”

Doomguy slowly started backing away with his guitar and went back to his room, hoping to go unnoticed.

Megumi did learn something important on how to get Byleth however.

This was going to be a lot harder than she anticipated.

And that she was probably going to have tinnitus for the rest of her life.

all of satoshi’s precious possessions can be divided into two main categories : those that he keeps back home in masara town & those that he always carries around. his most prized possessions are no different.

ITEMS KEPT AT HOME.

the hat he wore throughout kanto + the orange archipelago + johto. it was, after all, a limited edition cap from the pokemon league, one that satoshi invested a lot of effort into getting ( sending in a thousand postcards is nothing to scoff at ) , & while he stopped wearing it to not wear it out, he still considers it a treasure & keeps it on a shelf in his room with other precious items.

his z - ring, electric z, & steel z. his z - ring was given to him by kapu - kokeko & later upgraded by all of the alolan guardian deities, & while he does consider all his z - crystals prized possessions because they were won with his pokemon, his electric z was also given to him by kapu - kokeko, making it more special to him. his steel z has a special place in his heart for being the one that pikachu picked out when hapu gave them freedom of choice in which z - crystal to take & satoshi left that decision up to pikachu. these sit on a cupboard with all of his trophies.

his trophy from the exhibition match with kukui. satoshi’s battle with kukui was special to him for a number of reasons, battling all out against someone he admired, & who’d essentially become like the father figure that he never had, his nyaheat evolving into gaogaen, battling in an official battle with agoyon for the first time, battling kapu - kokeko & going head to head with its z move & winning … satoshi’s exhibition match trophy is a tangible proof & reminder of all of these & it is the trophy he is most proud of & it holds a highly special place in his heart. it sits, of course, with the rest of his trophies.

a pippi doll. pokeani forgot to give an explanation for why that was in his room but that’s why i’m here ^_^. it’s lilie’s, given as a “ to remember me by ” parting gift when she left for her own journey. it, of course, sits with his trophies. as far as satoshi’s concerned, that’s the only place it deserves to be.

the lunchbox takeshi gave him at the end of johto. though the contents may be long gone, the box itself has been kept for the memories associated. takeshi was one of the first people satoshi ever traveled with & the years spent on the road with him are important & special to him, so the first time they truly parted ways felt bitter, but the specialness of takeshi’s parting gift being a lunchbox prepared just for satoshi eased it somehow, & later the utensils within that lunchbox helped satoshi deal with the rocket gang, so he kept the box. it’s kept on the shelf with his league cap.

ITEMS HE ALWAYS KEEPS WITH HIM.

the handkerchief kasumi gave him at the end of johto. just like takeshi, kasumi was one of the first people satoshi traveled with, & he treasures the years she put up with him, unlike takeshi having stuck around for his entire journey from kanto to johto, having met him first as well. by the end of johto, satoshi wanted to part ways as little as she did, if not less. he holds onto the handkerchief because it’s not only useful to have on hand, but, of course, it reminds him of kasumi every time he uses it. there’s not a single more well - cared - for piece of fabric in his backpack.

a kasumi lure. as a gift from kasumi, of course it’s special to him. always carried in his bag, he uses it pretty much every time he has need of a lure & just any old lure wouldn’t do. because it’s special to him, he is a little possessive of it & won’t let anyone else use it.

a broken monster ball themed alarm clock. hanako went to great lengths, going out of town for days, to get this alarm clock for satoshi’s tenth birthday. & then satoshi broke it the night before he needed it the most. that alarm clock is the reason satoshi was late to ookido’s lab & received pikachu & all the subsequent events influenced by this fact happened. it’s broken & he’s never tried to have it fixed, but he still keeps it in his bag. it’s a reminder of his mom & of all the love & faith she’s placed in him, a reminder of home & a memento of his beginnings as a trainer, so he’d never think to change it, let alone discard it.

half of an old monster ball. much like the broken alarm clock, this too is one of his most precious possessions from masara town. it’s part of a monster ball that both satoshi & shigeru fished out of a river, the hooks of their respective fishing rods catching on it, & one they broke in their little tug of war. while shigeru may no longer be a competitive trainer, satoshi still considers the split monster ball a reminder of their rivalry, as well as their friendship. it’s still kept in a little bag in his backpack.

#he considers a lot of the things he has precious !! these are just the ones that are Special(tm)#he also has just a bunch of prizes from small events that he's really proud of & small mementos/souvenirs from travels #which. are the ''other precious items'' sdkfjghdkf #* !! pkmn is autistic culture.#* !! study.

Excerpt:

“Legion, you know I’ve never played a video game before,” she said wryly. She was sitting on one of her too-large couches as Legion fiddled with the television.

“Acknowledged. Based on previous experience, the adequate response to this statement is ‘git gud, scrub,’ although I have been unable to ascertain its exact meaning,” Legion replied.

It was quiet in the cargo bay. Too damn quiet. Shepard paused just outside of the elevator door, listening. Since she’d gotten the cybernetic upgrades, she’d grown accustomed to dampening her senses. The first few days after her resurrection it had been almost impossible to move without being bombarded with sounds, smells, sights that sent her to her reeling. Now, she tuned back in. She closed her eyes, and she listened.

It was never entirely silent on a ship. The gentle, ever-present hum of the Normandy was a high-pitched whine, now that EDI wasn’t in control. It made Shepard wince. She could hear Garrus’ breathing, and her own uneven heartbeat.

And she could hear faint breathing, up and to the left. Her lips curled in a humourless smile.

“You might as well give up,” Shepard called. “You’ve lost.”

“I haven’t lost anything.” The clone’s voice echoed off the walls, impossible to pinpoint. But Shepard could hear her footsteps now, circling around. Shepard motioned for Garrus and EDI to stay where they were, and she slowly moved into the room.

“And yet here you are, hiding from me like a coward. What’s the matter, little girl, are you scared? You should be. You should be terrified.” The footsteps grew stronger, closer together, nearer.

The razor-sharp edge of the clone’s omni-tool came whistling towards Shepard’s face, but Shepard easily countered it with her own. The sound of the blades clashing echoed across the room.

“You may look like me,” Shepard breathed, “but I’ve forgotten more ways to kill than you’ll ever learn.”

“I’m going to enjoy killing you,” the clone spat. The fluorescent orange of the omni-blades reflected onto the clone’s face. It was a damn shame for her, really, that Shepard knew all of her own tells.

“I’m sure you’re used to disappointment by now,” Shepard said softly, and she shoved the clone away, hard. The next second she was invisible, and booking it towards EDI and Garrus at the back of the room. She ducked into cover behind the requisitions terminal. The cargo bay, Shepard realized belatedly, was a shit place to have a fight. From there, it was impossible to get a good fix on any of the oncoming enemies. Apparently they had no trouble hitting her though; a grenade arced through the air and exploded next to her, sending flames licking up her armour.

“Shit,” she hissed. She tucked into a combat roll away from the fire. She rose to her feet and a fist connected with her bruised ribs. Shepard stumbled back as her clone materialized in front of her. Damn it, she was supposed to be a long-range fighter, what the hell was up with all the melee? Shepard feinted to the left before delivering a swift upper-cut to her clone’s jaw.

She should’ve delivered a swift upper-cut, but the clone wasn’t there anymore. Shepard felt an arm around her neck, choking her. Fuck that.

Shepard got a grip on her clone’s arms and then brought her torso down, sending the clone slamming into the ground. Shepard swung her Widow around and got the clone in the chest, point-blank. The clone faded into invisibility again and was gone. Damn it.

A handful of mercs raced away from the fight, climbing into the Kodiak shuttle. The hatch to the cargo bay opened and they sped away. In their haste, they left the door open. The wind whipped through Shepard’s hair, sending it flying into her face. She impatiently pushed it away.

“Just give up, will you? You’re past your best-before date. I’m the new and improved version, without the scarring and annoying moral code,” the clone shouted. Shepard was having a bit of an out of body experience. It’s one thing to have doubts about yourself, it’s an entirely different experience to hear them repeated back to you in your own damn voice.

“Was that supposed to be an insult? I earned these scars on Feros, and Noveria, and Ilos, and Thessia, and Rannoch! You got yours out of a petri dish.” Her voice rang clear through the cargo bay. What was it she’d said to Zaeed? You’re just a collection of scars held together by spite. Maybe they had that in common.

“You’re just a mediocre soldier with a lucky streak.”

“Then what does it say about you that I’m kicking your ass?” Shepard shouted back. She finally caught her clone in her sights, and got her in the leg with a shot from the Widow. Her clone stumbled, and Shepard raced forward, tackling her to the ground. They rolled together down the open ramp until they came to rest almost at the bottom. Shepard’s clone reared up, her fist hurtling towards Shepard’s face. The ship rocked violently, sending them flying. They both ended up holding onto the edge of the cargo bay door, nothing but a steep drop beneath them.

“Why you and not me? What makes you so damn special?” Shepard felt a small twinge of guilt at the pain in her clone’s voice.

“Shepard, hold on! We’ve got you!” Garrus yelled. He and EDI hurried down the ramp and hauled her back to safety. She looked down to her clone. There’s always a choice, Commander Shepard, and it matters that you choose to help.

“Take my hand,” Shepard said. She saw her clone glance up the walkway. Looking for Brooks, maybe. Whatever she saw made her face fall.

“And then what?” she snapped.

“And then you live. Show me what you’re made of, Shepard,” Shepard said. Not a sentence she’d ever expected to say, but apparently it was just that kind of day.

Her clone looked up at her sharply.

“You’ll regret this,” she said. “It’ll come back to bite you in the ass.”

“I regret a lot of things. Now take my damn hand.”

And she did.

They caught Brooks not long after. Cortez, who had apparently been engaged in some fancy flying to keep the ship from leaving, led her forward in handcuffs.

“Caught this one trying to leave,” he said. “Alliance is going to lock her up tight.”

“Shepard,” Brooks purred, “I’m sure we can put all this unpleasantness behind us.”

“I’m not in a particularly forgiving mood,” Shepard replied. Or General Shepard? We’ll deal with her. Her hands balled up into fists.

“But wasn’t it fun to have someone running around, being in awe of you? Admit it, you’re going to miss me.” Shepard could hear the gentle tap of Brooks' hands on her restraints. She leaned down, until she was level with Brooks’ eyes.

“You’re going to go along quietly with the Alliance, and you’re going to stay the hell away from me and the people I care about,” Shepard said, her voice forged in iron and steel

“Aww, is the great Commander Shepard pleading for her life?”

“I’m pleading for yours.” It was barely above a murmur. The tapping stopped.

“Very well,” Brooks said at last. “Till we meet again, Commander.”

“Rot in hell, Staff Analyst Maya Brooks,” Shepard suggested.

“Hey, maybe now you can actually have some shore leave,” Garrus said wryly as they exited the ship. Shepard snorted.

“I doubt it, but I suppose stranger things have happened,” she said.

“You can goddamn say that again,” Joker said fervently. Shepard gently clapped him on the shoulder.

“C’mon Joker, it could’ve been worse,” she said.

“How? How could it have been worse?”

“There could have been Collectors.”

“Hey, when the “Best Commanding Officer Awards” come up, don’t expect a nomination from me.”

“Noted. Can I interest you in some sushi?” The resentful silence was answer enough, and Shepard grinned wryly. As punishment, Joker refused to let her drive. He dropped her off at her apartment, but not before insisting that she needed to throw some kind of party.

“I’ll think about it,” she said.

“What was that? Couldn't hear you!” He revved the engine loudly to drown out her protests.

“Damn it, Joker!”

“And you owe me dinner! No knives this time!”

“No promises!” she shouted as he drove away.

Shepard didn’t do vacations. Fourteen years with the Alliance and she’d been on shore leave a handful of times, each more catastrophic than the last. The last time had been a few months before she’d died. She’d started two bar fights and had to be put on unofficial lockdown for a few days. The time before that they'd caught her sneaking back onto the ship. To be honest, having her evil clone try and steal the Normandy was just the natural progression of the Shepard Hates Vacations conundrum.

Still, it wasn’t every day that almost every person you’d ever cared about was kicking around the same place that you were. The Normandy was in drydock for another few days, and so Shepard made the most of it.

“Legion, you know I’ve never played a video game before,” she said wryly. She was sitting on one of her too-large couches as Legion fiddled with the television.

“Acknowledged. Based on previous experience, the adequate response to this statement is ‘git gud, scrub,’ although I have been unable to ascertain its exact meaning,” Legion replied.

“Uh huh. Got it. So then what are we playing?”

“Vega-Lieutenant suggests that you would enjoy playing Blasto: Hero of the Citadel.”

“Vega’s an asshole, don’t you listen to him.”

“Anatomically unlikely on both fronts.” The corners of Shepard’s mouth twitched up.

“What’s your favourite game, Legion?” she asked, trying a different tactic.

“I am banned from most games for suspected VI activity,” they explained.

“Tell you what, Tali and Kasumi are coming over to watch Fleet and Flotilla with me later, why don’t you join us?”

“Will there be popcorn?” they asked. Shepard’s brows wrinkled in confusion.

“You and Tali can't eat it…?”

“I understand it is integral to organic vid watching ceremonies.”

“Alright, we'll have popcorn.”

“Shepard, you know I can’t eat popcorn,” Tali complained. The four of them were settled on the largest of the couches. It stretched across half the room, but somehow everyone had ended up almost piled up on top of Shepard. She found that she didn’t really mind.

“I got some dextro-based snacks for you, Tali,” Shepard reassured her.

“Shepard-Commander?” Legion had the copy of Fleet and Flotilla in their hands and they were carefully examining it, holding it up to the light.

“Yes Legion?”

“What purpose does a relationship between two species serve? They cannot procreate,” Legion said. Shepard shared a loaded look with Tali and Kasumi.

“It’s about the romance,” Tali explained. “Forbidden, star-crossed love.” The last few words were wistful, almost dreamy.

“I do not understand,” Legion said. Shepard patted them on the shoulder.

“How about we watch the movie, and you can ask any questions you have when it’s over, okay?”

“Acknowledged.” Shepard flicked on the TV and the beginning credits began to roll.

“Shepard-Commander--”

“Shhh!” Kasumi hushed them.

“After the movie, Legion,” Shepard said. Legion nodded reluctantly. Kasumi and Tali both snuggled in on either side of Shepard, their heads resting on her shoulders. Maybe, she thought, vacations weren’t all bad.

The next day dawned bright and sunny, thanks to the artificial light on the Citadel. Shepard had gently deposited Tali and Kasumi in the guest bedrooms (how big did one apartment need to be??) and Legion had spent the small hours of the morning playing video games on her TV. After breakfast, she cheerfully sent them on their way after inviting each of them to the party that Joker had insisted she throw.

She hummed cheerfully to herself as she got dressed for the day. It was a relief, really, to be pulling on her regular black cargo pants and hoodie. Nice clothes were all well and good, but nothing could beat a half-dozen pockets, each weighed down with knives and caltrops. There were another dozen people that she needed to see. So many people that cared about her. It made her feel disconcertingly warm and fuzzy.

Shepard's first stop was at the hospital. Blessedly, she didn’t need to stay inside for long. She picked up Thane and took him to the café on the Presidium to buy him brunch. She’d never done brunch before.

“How have you been?” she asked.

“As well as I can be, during these difficult times,” Thane said quietly. His eyes were fixed on the gardens. “But Mordin believes I will make a full recovery.”

“You’ve seen Mordin?” she asked, sipping at her coffee.

“Ah, I had assumed that you would have heard. The salarian councilor was extremely grateful for the part I played in his rescue.”

“You mean saving his life almost single-handedly?” Shepard asked wryly. Thane rewarded her with a smile warmer than the artificial sun.

“Indeed. He asked that Mordin create a cure for Kepral’s Syndrome. So here I am, better than I’ve felt in years,” he explained.

“That’s great!” Shepard said encouragingly.

“I may even be fit to help with the war effort,” he said, and his eyes flicked to her. Shepard’s face immediately fell into a frown.

“Not going to happen,” she said firmly.

“It is unfair for me to remain here when so many are dying.”

“How many last missions can one person have?” she asked. “There was the hit on Nassana Dantius, and then the Omega 4, and then saving the councilor, and then stopping my clone--”

“You have made your point,” he said wryly. “But it doesn’t seem to have stopped you before.” She pursed her lips and studied his face. He did look better, she had to admit.

“You’re sure?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“We could always use military advisors. Strictly non combat, you understand?” she said. He considered her for a moment, before eventually nodding.

“Very well, if you think that would be best,” he said.

“I’ll let Hackett know,” she replied. And then, “It’s good to see you, Thane.”

“And you, Shepard. But you are on vacation. Shall we talk of more cheerful things?”

“Please,” she said fervently, and he chuckled, without coughing once.

It still wasn’t easy, going down to the refugee docks, but Mordin had asked her to meet him there. He had assembled a new clinic, replacing much of the equipment they’d been using in the refugee docking bay. He was bustling around, issuing instructions.

“Good to see some things never change, Mordin,” Shepard said wryly.

“Former system inefficient. Had to fix it. Other people always get it wrong.”

“Want a hand?” She leaned against the wall casually.

“Equally inefficient. Healing not one of your skills. Would like to talk, though.” She smiled ruefully. He wasn’t wrong. Once upon a time, he might’ve told her that he was never wrong.

“You got it. Shall we?” She led the way to a few miraculously empty chairs amidst the hustle and bustle of the docks. His posture was as impeccable as always as he remained sitting up straight on the uncomfortable bench.

“What have you been up to?” she asked. “Aside from curing Kepral’s Syndrome.”

“Spoken to Thane? Yes, cure is complete. Recommend minimal physical activity for time being. Non-combat.”

“It’ll be a cold day in hell before I clear him for combat.”

“Tactfully put,” he said. She grinned at him.

“So what else…?” she left the sentence hanging, waiting for him to continue.

“Some side-effects to genophage cure. Created an antidote, but salarian doctors still not trusted. Been here for past two weeks.” Two weeks, and he’d already rearranged the docks. Knowing Mordin, he’d done that on his first day here.

“And how’s Urdnot Bakara doing in her new role?” Shepard asked. At that, he did smile.

“Exceeds expectations. Stabilizing influence on Urdnot Wrex. I like her.”

“Me too,” Shepard said. “Didn’t you say something about retirement though?”

“Yes. Wanted to run tests on seashells. Beaches in short supply at present, due to Reaper presence. Had a question.”

“Only one?” she asked wryly.

“As statement suggests, yes,” he replied. Shepard snorted.

“Alright, shoot,” she said.

“Clinic here running smoothly. Talents could be better used elsewhere. Crucible project needs scientists?”

“They’d be happy to have you,” Shepard said immediately. Mordin smiled warmly. They chatted a bit more, before Mordin insisted that he needed to get back to work. Some things really didn’t change.

Later that evening, after she’d visited even more of her friends, Shepard finally had a moment alone. The events of the past few days caught up, slamming into her like a freight train. Her hands rested on the cool marble of the bathroom vanity as she studied herself intently in the mirror. Scars mapped every part of her face, lancing across her forehead, her cheeks, her chin, notching a mark in her right eyebrow. Undeniably hers, but unquestionably altered now.

She looked at herself in the mirror, but she saw someone else. It was disconcerting to realize that the DNA that ran through her body was the same as her clone’s. It was worse to realize that her clone had been so violent, so capricious. Was that who she was, deep down? Was that who she’d been meant to be?

Her long red hair tumbled around her face, limp and bedraggled from days without washing it. She held a piece between her fingers, feeling every strand. She’d always been hopelessly proud of her hair, and had let it grow impractically long. The only part of her that the world hadn’t mangled.

But as she looked at it, she saw her clone. It wasn’t hers anymore. The world had taken that from her, as it had taken so many things.

Or maybe it had given her something new. She went down to the kitchen and selected a pair of scissors, and then she returned to the bathroom mirror in her room. With steady hands, she cut her hair. As it fell away, her angular features stood out in sharp relief. The haircut wasn’t even by a long shot, but it was hers. ... Garrus didn’t quite know what to do with his hands. He’d been standing outside the door to the apartment building for ten minutes now, hemming and hawing about the best course of action. And if he didn’t figure it out soon, he was going to be late for their date.

There were a number of facts Garrus was sure of. One: he was in love with Shepard. Fairly obvious, he’d been in love with her for over a year now. Two: Shepard was in love with him. He still hadn’t fully wrapped his head around that one, but he sure as hell wasn’t complaining. Three: he had no idea what the fuck was going to happen when they went to that Cerberus base. He hoped with every fibre of his being that they’d make it out the other side alive and in one piece, but he didn’t know.

Which was why he was standing outside the entrance to Shepard’s building, the ring box held in a vice-like grip between his talons.

Don’t be a coward, Vakarian. If he didn’t leave now, he’d be late. He squared his shoulders, and marched into the building resolutely. The elevator ride up seemed to last for an eternity. He studied the ceiling tiles, the grey swirling pattern seeming to vanish into the distance. It took him a second to realize that the elevator wasn’t moving anymore. It took him another second to exit the elevator. Spirits only knew how he got to Shepard’s door. He knocked gently. If he was quiet enough, maybe she wouldn’t answer.

But she did. He scrambled to shove the box into one of the very few pockets that turian clothing allowed for.

“Hey,” she said softly. Her eyelashes were longer than usual, and there was a dark tint to her lips. She was wearing that damn suit again and his brain short-circuited. His mouth was suddenly too dry. Shit, he should say something.

“Hey.” Amazing job, Vakarian. What a way with words. She gave him a crooked half-smile.

“Come in?” she suggested. Relieved, he nodded and stepped through.

“Your, um,” he tried. He gestured vaguely to her face.

“My hair?” she asked.

“Yeah.” It barely fell past her ears now. Could humans just...do that? She rubbed at her neck self-consciously.

“It felt weird looking in the mirror and seeing her. So, I cut it. Maybe by the time it grows back it won’t feel as weird,” she explained. He nodded stiffly. Spirits, did he have to be so awkward right now? You’d think it’d be easier to propose to your best friend.

“Are you okay?” she asked softly. She was closer now, cinnamon and coffee in the air. There was a slight crease to her forehead.

“I love you,” he said suddenly. A warm smile spread across her face.

“Yes, we’ve established that,” she said. “But you look like you’ve seen a ghost. Did I do that bad a job cutting it?”

“No, no it’s not that,” he said hurriedly. “It’s...damn.”

“Now you’re making me worried, Garrus.” She pulled away. Shit.

“Dance with me?” he blurted. Her eyebrows shot up so high they reached her hairline.

“Am I having a stroke?” she asked incredulously. “Every third sentence you say is insulting my dancing.” He really didn’t have anything to say to that, so he raced over to the wall, keyed into her stereo system and started playing music, as well as dimming the lights. Tango music filled the apartment, and he held out a slightly shaking hand to her.

“Hell no,” she said.

“C’mon Shepard, do you trust me?” Spirits, did there really have to be pleading in his voice right now?

“Implicitly. I’m still not dancing with you.” Steeling himself to get elbowed in the guts, he grabbed her hand and tugged her close to him. She reluctantly let him lead her through a few beginning steps, but she stayed stiff as a board, completely unyielding.

“You’re going to pay for this later,” she muttered darkly.

“Promises, promises, Joan,” he said, and she rolled her eyes at him. “Which reminds me, is that not your real name?” She scowled at him. Damn, but she was hot when she was pissed.

“Am I answering questions or am I dancing? I sure as hell can’t do both.” She blocked his leg as he tried to dip her down. He rallied magnificently, playing it off as intentional. He continued to lead her through the dance.

Slowly, she started to get the hang of it, growing more confident in her movements. He ventured a spin, and to his very great delight she spun away from him and came tumbling back, a small smile gracing her lips.

As a general rule, turian marriages were fairly perfunctory affairs. Not a lot of room for romance in the hierarchy. But he wanted this to be special. Those images of the romantic comedies he’d watched flashed through his head. She deserved something good.

He’d practiced the steps enough that he could do them in his sleep by this point. She didn’t need to know that though. He didn’t think he’d ever live it down if she found out he’d been practicing in the main battery until late into the sleep cycle. He dipped her low, both of them breathing heavily. Her gently waving short hair framed her face like a halo.

“It’s Jeanne. My name’s Jeanne,” she murmured, so soft he almost didn’t catch it. He gently set her back on her feet and then sunk to one knee.

“Marry me, Jeanne Shepard?” he asked. She inhaled sharply. ... Her head was spinning as they danced across the room. She begrudgingly had to admit that she was enjoying herself. Garrus didn’t need to know that though.

Time slowed almost to a standstill as he dipped her down, his hand snugly wrapped around her waist. His bright blue eyes were fixed on her, and she felt her face flush.

“It’s Jeanne. My name’s Jeanne,” she murmured. A name she’d left behind long ago, a name that only Marie knew. A part of her that the clone hadn’t been able to mimic. Maybe it was time to reclaim it, that concrete reminder of her time on Earth, of who she’d once been.

Her feet touched the floor once more, and Garrus let go of her. She was reaching back out for him as he got down on one knee in front of her. Had she stepped on his foot…?

“Marry me, Jeanne Shepard?” he asked.

Oh. Oh.

She froze, and then a small laugh bubbled out of her.

“Well, that’s a little harsh,” he muttered. Still laughing, she helped him up. She rested a hand on either side of his face.

“Is that why you were so awkward earlier?” she asked.

“Listen, it’s a yes or no question.” His voice was so exasperated, so nervous.

“Of course I’ll marry you,” she said. A second later her feet left the ground as he picked her up and spun her around, kissing her soundly. He set her down and she wound her arms around his neck. “You have terrible timing.”

“Title of our autobiography,” he replied.

“True enough,” she chuckled. It was so warm, here in his arms. A safe harbour amidst the storm.

“You really trampled all over my moment,” he griped. “I had the ring all ready and everything.”

“I hate to tell you this, Vakarian, but EDI already gave me a ring.” A victory ring she’d called it, with metal from every Council homeworld. Including Earth. Shepard had almost cried.

“Do you want it or not?”

“I never said I didn’t,” she said. He rolled his eyes, but he tugged out a small box from his pocket.

She was definitely going to cry now. There was a scattering of stained glass inset in the band.

“It's made of an indestructible metal, so it won't get damaged in combat,” he explained quickly. She tugged him towards her and kissed him until they were both breathless. Home. This was home, here with him. She could die happy now. She could live even happier.

“So when’s the ceremony?” she whispered against his mouth.

“Got any plans this evening?”

“Yeah, there’s the party.”

“Perfect.”

@pnkfox sent: talk about your muse’s most prized possession(s) !! / 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬.

items kept at home.

his trophy from the exhibition match with kukui. satoshi’s battle with kukui was special to him for a number of reasons, battling all out against someone he admired, & who’d essentially become like the father figure that he never had, his nyaheat evolving into gaogaen, battling in an official battle with agoyon for the first time, battling kapu - kokeko & going head to head with its z move & winning ... satoshi’s exhibition match trophy is a tangible proof & reminder of all of these & it is the trophy he is most proud of & it holds a highly special place in his heart. it sits, of course, with the rest of his trophies.

a pippi doll. pokeani forgot to give an explanation for why that was in his room but that’s why i’m here ^_^. it’s lilie’s, given as a “to remember me by” parting gift when she left for her own journey. it, of course, sits with his trophies. as far as satoshi's concerned, that’s the only place it deserves to be.

the lunchbox takeshi gave him at the end of johto. though the contents may be long gone, the box itself has been kept for the memories associated. takeshi was one of the first people satoshi ever traveled with & the years spent on the road with him are important & special to him, so the first time they truly parted ways felt bitter, but the specialness of takeshi’s parting gift being a lunchbox prepared just for satoshi eased it somehow, & later the utensils within that lunchbox helped satoshi deal with rg, so he kept the box. it’s kept on the shelf with his league cap.

items he always keeps with him.

a broken alarm clock. hanako went to great lengths, going out of town for days, to get a monster ball themed alarm clock for satoshi’s tenth birthday. & then satoshi broke it the night before he needed it the most. that alarm clock is the reason satoshi was late to ookido’s lab & received pikachu & all the subsequent events influenced by this fact happened. it’s broken & he’s never tried to have it fixed, but he still keeps it in his bag. it’s a reminder of his mom & of all the love & faith she’s placed in him, a reminder of home & a memento of his beginnings as a trainer, so he’d never think to change it, let alone discard it.

Note

Do your OC’s morals and rules of common decency go out the window when it comes to those they don’t like, or when it’s inconvenient? Aka, are their morals situational?

Kasumi’s behaviour is…complex. She definitely has a code she sticks to when it comes to people close to her but that code doesn’t always fall into the realm of good. If someone has threatened or could potentially threaten the life of someone she cares for, making a linkpearl call for them to be dealt with is something she will do.

Saying that, even if she doesn’t like someone, it doesn’t mean she won’t be polite to them in public, even if they’re rude to her. If she is rude back, it’s generally in a sassy way rather then lowering herself to yelling and insults. The only person whose ever able to make Kasumi visibly angry in public and lose her cool was her ex who thought it was funny to push her buttons in public.

The other time was at a Garlean Officer who kept hanging around her little sister figure Savo who she lectured in public in Kugane after Savo was kidnapped by a Garlean. Of course, he didn’t kidnap her. But she thought he did or he’d endangered her by involving her with imperial matters and she went into mother bear mode. Kasumi also happens to have balls of steel when it comes to standing up to people who could potentially break her pretty neck.

But Kasumi doesn’t kill, maim, hurt or otherwise act like a bitch generally unless it’s for a good reason. While she’s capable of great kindness and politeness, all morality goes out the window when the situation is dire or potentially dire. There’s really nothing Kasumi wouldn’t do to protect those she loves or considers in her care as a boss or a friend. So yes, I’d say it’s situational but there’s definitely things she would never do unless they’re for a good reason in her eyes.

Thanks for the ask!

Big Ol’ Honkin’ OC Question List here! Feel free to ask me a question.

all of satoshi’s precious possessions can be divided into two main categories : those that he keeps back home in masara town or at the sakuragi institute’s dorms, & those that he always carries around. his most prized possessions are no different.

ITEMS KEPT AT HOME / DORMS.

his z-ring, electric z, & steel z. his z-ring was given to him by kapu-kokeko & later upgraded by all of the alolan guardian deities, & while he does consider all his z-crystals prized possessions because they were won with his pokemon, his electric z was also given to him by kapu-kokeko & upgraded to be specific to him & pikachu alongside the z-ring upgrade, making it more special to him. his steel z has a special place in his heart for being the one that pikachu picked out when hapu gave them freedom of choice in which z-crystal to take & satoshi left that decision up to pikachu. these sit in his & gou’s room at sakuragi’s institute, though he sometimes takes them with him if he’s intending to battle with z-moves.

his trophy from the exhibition match with kukui. satoshi’s battle with kukui was special to him for a number of reasons, battling all out against someone he admired, & who’d essentially become like the father figure that he never had, his nyaheat evolving into gaogaen, battling in an official battle with agoyon for the first time, battling kapu-kokeko & going head to head with its z-move & winning … satoshi’s exhibition match trophy is a tangible proof & reminder of all of these & it is the trophy he is most proud of & it holds a highly special place in his heart. it sits, of course, with the rest of his trophies at home.

a pippi doll. pokeani forgot to give an explanation for why that was in his room but that’s why i’m here ^_^. it’s lilie’s, given as a “to remember me by” parting gift when she left for her own journey. it, of course, sits with his trophies. as far as satoshi’s concerned, that’s the only place it deserves to be.

ITEMS HE ALWAYS KEEPS WITH HIM.

his & lucario’s mega stones. while they haven’t had many chances to use them, satoshi still keeps the pair in his bag at all times just in case he & lucario want to take the extra measure. it’s much more than a tool to either of them & satoshi would continue to carry the stones even if they became inert.

kiki-wiccan:

She beams as Kasumi agrees with her. Her vampire did have good taste when it came to more formal things. “A fairy princess?! Oh that’s a wonderful thing to be compared to. I wonder if fairy princesses even exist...” she trails off into thought. She couldn’t take everything she’s seen on the media as truth. Her knowledge on fairies was vast but it was based off of false portrayals.

She shakes her head “this isn’t casual dancing, this would be very formal dancing.” She already knew that Kasumi wasn’t knowledgeable in modern dancing. Dancing had changed a lot over the years and evolved. “Oh so you have balls? Just not masquerades. That makes sense! It can be off putting to be approached by someone in a mask.”

She giggled as she was twirled around. It was probably her favorite dance move of the night. She loved the feeling of her starry night bottom twirling around with her. “Oh of course! I could always pull up some dancing videos on google. As for dresses a quick google image search should be able to give you a good idea.”

Kasumi chuckled. “Of course fairy princesses exist! I’ve met a couple, actually. Though I was not allowed to interact very much with them, I said my greetings and watched them from afar.” he smiled gently, fondly remembering the time the fairies had come to heaven for a visit... and one particular fae he’d met at the time.

“Ah, I would love if you could teach me casual dancing at some point. I keep forgetting that google is a thing, though I feel like I should still trust books a bit more.”

He watched her twirl, happy that she was enjoying herself. “I agree, it’s a bit... intimidating to approach or be approached by someone hiding their identity. Are you not... uh... afraid? You must have nerves of steel. I’ve been dancing with these people but it takes up so much courage to actually approach them, I was getting quite exhausted.”

A Rough Start (FE: Three Houses Short Fic)

Byleth-Sama: Love is War (Part 1)

-----

Part Listings Here!

All AU’s involved listed here!

-----

With the ball quickly approaching, Sara and Megumi have a person in mind to ask to the dance. What they quickly realize is that they want to ask the same man, and they’re about to turn Garreg Mach Monastery into a battlefield.

----

Afternoon...

[A Gentle Breeze - Fire Emblem: Three Houses]

(Seteth) “And that concludes are meeting for this week. You are dismissed.”

Everyone got up and walked out the room.

Byleth headed back to his office, Manuela and Hanneman to theirs, as Sara, Doomguy, Megumi, Towa, and Angelica walked out of the building.

Sara sighed while rubbing her head.

(Sara) “Ugh, the White Heron Cup, huh?”

(Towa) “Are you not excited by it, Sara?”

(Sara) “Not in the slightest! We gotta set up all the decorations for something that’ll last only the afternoon! Plus, we gotta see the kids do some probably boring dance.”

(Megumi) “I think it sounds fun! I can’t wait to see what kind of dances are on display!”

(Towa) “I agree with Professor Sakura! It’s a good way to see Fodlan’s culture after all!”

(Megumi) “What do you think, Slayer?”

Doomguy shrugged, indicating that these sorts of events weren’t really his thing.

(Sara) “The only thing it’s going to remind me is of the upcoming ball and how dull that night is going to be...”

(Megumi) “I’m sure there will be a guy nice enough for you to dance with, Sara!”

(Sara) “Hopefully.”

(Angelica) “Frankly, I’m happy you are taking all the guys. I’ll be going for all the cute girls that’ll show up. Heh, I wonder if I can impress anyone enough to-”

Towa hit Angelica’s head with a clipboard.

(Towa) “No hitting on ANYONE, Angie! We talked about this!”

(Angelica) “Ow, okay okay! Well anyways, who’s going to be telling the Houses this information?”

(Sara) “I got an appointment with my beer can after that meeting, so...bye!”

Sara quickly walked away back to her room.

(Towa) “Well, I guess I-”

Doomguy’s hand was put in front of her and shook his head, and pointed towards himself. Once he waved goodbye to everyone, he went to the classrooms.

(Angelica) “So, Megunee. Who’re you goin’ with?”

(Megumi) “I don’t know yet. I’m sure I’ll think of someone later tonight.”

...

Once the classroom representatives read the paper that was going to describe how their next few weeks were going to go, they voiced their opinions.

(Kazuma) “Ugh great. A ball.”

(Aqua) “What? A NEET like you can’t stomach interaction with other peo-”

(Kazuma) “STOP CALLING ME A NEET YOU BITCH!”

(Akira) “Well, I guess there are worse ways to spend a night.”

(Rean) “I bet everyone will be scrambling to get a partner soon!”

(Yu) “That’ll be exciting.”

(Minako) “Oh, I can’t wait!”

(Minato) “It’s not possible to skip this, is it?”

(Kazuma) “I’m with Minato on this one. Can we?”

Doomguy shook his head no.

(Minako) “Don’t spoil the fun on this you guys! When is the next time we’re going to get to attend something like this?”

(Akira) “She’s got a point.”

(Morgana) “Plus, it’d be remiss for us to miss a chance to attend a fancy ball! We get to work on our people skills!”

(Kazuma) “With stuffy nobles! We had to deal with them a lot last time, and that wasn’t pleasant! I got better things to do that night than hang around a buncha assholes!”

(Yu) “...Pot calling the kettle black there, Kazuma-”

(Kazuma) “And YOU be quiet! I don’t have a bunch of girls surrounding me like you all do! IT’S NOT FAIR!”

(Rean) “...We do?”

Akira, Yu, and Minato shrugged.

(Aqua) “In any case, we should go tell our groups this stuff, yeah?”

Everyone nodded.

(Minako) “We’ll catch ya tomorrow!”

Everyone went their separate ways. Kazuma grumbled under his breath as he walked with Aqua.

(Aqua) “You can’t be shut in all the time! If it’ll get you out, then I’ll take pity and take you to dance with a godde-”

(Kazuma) “I’d rather die.”

(Sothis) “As would I.”

(Kazuma) “FUCKIN’ JESUS!”

Both Aqua and Kazuma were startled by Sothis appearing in front of them.

(Aqua) “Don’t scare us like tha-...Where’s Byleth?”

(Sothis) “That child is doing paperwork currently. I am in no mood to rest, so I thought I might as well join you idiots. Now, what’s this ball I’m hearing so much about?”

(Kazuma) “Tch, well you see...”

...

(Sothis) “...What kind of asinine reasoning is that? That you’ll be miserable if you do not have someone to dance with? Just strut your moves as you see fit!”

(Kazuma) “Psh, I wish we could, then maybe I could have a bit of fun! But no, this isn’t some nightclub, it’s some boring ass ball dancing!”

(Aqua) “Ugh, I’ve had enough of your whining. I’m off to drink.”

(Kazuma) “I hope you have a hangover!”

Late Evening...

[Evening Moments - Trails of Cold Steel]

Sara slammed her mug down onto the table.

(Sara) “Ah, that’s a nice cold brew you got us tonight, Manuela!”

(Manuela) “Ugh, I’m going to need it to forget about this week. That ball is going to be a sad reminder of my life...”

(Sara) “Here here...”

(Aqua) “Yeesh, everyone’s talkin’ doom and gloom about this damn ball! You girls just need to relax alright?! We can have fun dancing together!”

(Manuela) “Oh sweetie, you don’t understand. When you’re as old as us, you’re going to be lamenting this too...”

(Aqua) “I’m older than the both of you!”

(Sara) “Right right...goddess stuff and all that.”

Manuela and Sara chugged their beer.

(Aqua) “Well fine, I’ll humor you two then! Who are you going to ask to dance?”

(Manuela) “Well, there was this cute knight I saw earlier today. He seemed like a nice enough fellow. What about you, Sara?”

(Sara) “Someone who’d dance with me regardless of my habits...”

She considered her options. Frankly not a lot of people in the Monastery could stand her, and those who did were far too young. But...

(Sara) “Aha!”

Manuela and Aqua looked at her with a curious expression.

(Sara) “I know just the man!”

...

Megumi had just finished her paperwork for the night and was headed to her rooms before she almost ran into Kasumi.

(Kasumi) “Oh, please excuse me, Sakura-sensei!”

(Megumi) “Hello, Yoshizawa. I’m sorry I almost hit you there!”

(Kasumi) “That’s a lot of papers, do you need some help?”

(Megumi) “No I-...Actually, it’d be a big help if you could, thank you!”

Splitting the papers they walked to Megumi’s room.

(Megumi) “So, are you excited for the ball that’s coming soon?”

(Kasumi) “Indeed! Doing gymnastics is a bit different from dancing, but the footing seems similar, so I’m excited to try! Have we elected a representative for the White Heron Cup yet?”

(Megumi) “No, that’s something Sara, Slayer, and I need to discuss still.”

(Kasumi) “I see, well I hope you choose well. By the way, what about you? Are you excited?”

(Megumi) “Quite a bit, actually! I’m interested in seeing how the students dance, and how Fodlan dancing is compared to Japanese. Hah, as for asking someone to the dance, that’s an ongoing problem.”

(Kasumi) “Well, you’re a very kind person, Sakura-sensei! I’m sure that anyone would be more than happy to!”

(Megumi) “Hah, thank you Yoshizawa. To be frank, it’s not a matter of getting anyone that’s bothering me, it’s just having the right person. These sorts of things should be special, you know? O-Oh! Listen to me ramble, sorry! Thank you for helping out.”

Kasumi gave Megumi the papers.

(Kasumi) “Anytime! I hope you find the person you’re looking for!”

Kasumi bowed and walked away, Megumi opening her door and putting the papers on her desk.

(Megumi) “Well, if I had to choose anyone it’d be...-”

...

Megumi went back to the offices and saw Byleth’s door spilling candlelight beneath the door.

She was about to knock before Sara came around the corner.

(Sara) “Oh, heya Megunee. What’re you doin’?”

(Megumi) “Hello Sara. I was about to ask Byleth something, but its not that important. I’ll just come back later.”

(Sara) “Neither’s mine. It was just going to be about the Ball.”

(Megumi) “What a coincidence! That’s what I was going to talk to him about.

(Sara & Megumi) “...”

(Sara) “Were you about to-”

(Megumi) “-Ask him to the ball?”

!!!

(Sara) “Sis, I’m gonna need you to stand aside.”

(Megumi) “Huh?”

(Sara) “I need this more than you do, Megunee! You don’t understand the struggles I’ve been through!”

(Megumi) “...O-Oh! You have feelings for him then? I apologize, I’ll let you ask-”

(Sara) “HUH?! N-NO I DON’T! I WAS JUST GOING TO SEE IF HIS LONELY ASS NEEDED A GIRL LIKE ME!”

(Megumi) “...But didn’t you just-”

(Sara) “Alright, that’s it! KNOW WHAT?! I THINK I GOT A BETTER IDEA! HOW ABOUT WE LET HIM CHOOSE?!”

Megumi didn’t quite understand what Sara was going on about but...

Losing to Sara on this didn’t sit quite right with her. Regardless, Megumi agreed.

(Megumi) “Alright then, that’s fine with me.”

(Sara) “We’ll see who ends up the victor! It’s going to be me!”

Sara stormed away while Megumi stood there confused for a moment before she registered what she really meant.

(Megumi) “Oooooh! Hmph! Fine! If she’s going to act like that, then I’ll make sure not to fall that easily either! This means war, Sara!”

Byleth was inside doing paperwork. He was only half paying attention to the conversation while Sothis went outside to see what was going on. She was laughing hysterically when she came back in.

(Byleth) “What was going on out there?”

(Sothis) “Oh nothing. Just a lover’s dispute.”

(Byleth) “Whoever they are, they sounded cross.��

(Sothis) Oh sweet child, you have NO idea of what’s coming...
