(Is it obvious who my favorite is?)

[this-is-fox-speaking]

if that's how they decided pomni's name in canon (ignoring "oh it means remember" outside of canon) then do you think caine did the same thing to the others when they first showed up. did they all actually have five letter names. did they change them a little or a lot later on? shorten them? lengthen them??

Harlequin AU finally gets to have a spotlight in the oneshot collection and of course they're fucking bickering. 😭

This is one of the first one-shots that would specifically focus on two pairings: Showtime, and Checkmates. I want to do some writing that juggles between the different dynamics between the two ships so hehehe :3c

Far From the Tree, by aideomai. 112,572 words.

This is, by far, one of my favorite fics ever. I say that about a lot of fic, but this one deserves ALL the praise. Everything is just so vivid—I couldn't decide, in the end, what I even wanted the decorations to be because I had so many ideas.

In the end, there ended up being this mix of various things from the story—the card game, trees and leaves (obviously), and, well, swords. I LOVE the swords in this (and swords in general).

For the actual construction of this bind, there were a few new techniques I tried—the foiling of the endpapers (which uses a silhouette and a foil quill), heat transfer vinyl (the new bane of my existence), and sewn endbands (which I loved, surprisingly). Overall, so so happy with how this turned out!

Design Details:

Title Page: Portal

Cover/Spine: Kingred Modern

Body: Garamond

(If you have not read this fic yet—I highly encourage you to do so. In fact, read ALL of aideomai's works.)

HARLEQUIN AU - Kingr Character showcase (+WIP Harlequin!Pomni and Puppetmaster!Caine)

I actually made these yesterday for when I eventually make a masterpost about the Harlequin/Puppet AU, and the more I think about it, the more I realize that it might've been the making of Kingr's design showcase was what made my hand hurt. A LOT

... It's okay I still love how he turned out <3

(P.S, Kinger is intentionally missing the "e" from his name in this AU)

(P.P.S, I didn't mean to make Pomni and Caine mirror each other's stances)

It's 1 am at my place, but I finally finished it! IT'S SHOWTIME BABY!

The 6th part of

Lilac

⚠️WARNING⚠️ suggestive

______________________________________

Lilac stood majestically in the mansion's doorway. Caine was so shocked that he dropped the sword. His vision began to blur.

"This is bad, bad, bad!" Ragatha took a step back.

Jax twitched his ears in surprise.

"Why are you all so scared?" he broke the silence. "It's just Pomni."

"Oh ho ho. I'm not Pomni, tiny bunny," Lilac made a leap, spun like a ballerina in the air, and landed in a curtsy in front of the mansion's residents. "My name is Lilac," she raised her head, her purple eye sparkling. "The Performer Harlequin," she straightened up, clasped her hands together, and smiled sweetly. "And I am also Caine's lover."

"What did she say?" Caine's vision was still blurry. He looked around for Lilac. When his gaze focused, he pointed at her and shouted, "LIES! SHE'S NOT MY LOVER!"

"Oh, has Mr. Puppetmaster already forgotten how his hand was under my skirt?" Lilac giggled mockingly.

Caine blushed. He was trying to think quickly.

"Awkward," Z whispered to Gangle.

"Caine, I think you need to explain why our dear Harlequin is in such a strange form," Kingr helped Caine to focus.

"Right. Ahem." Caine approached and placed his hand on Lilac's shoulder. As soon as he did, she hugged him around the waist. This made the Puppetmaster  freeze. "Uh... this is Lilac. Pomni's second personality. A couple of weeks ago, Pomni's character block short-circuited, and her personality split into two parts: the Combat and the Performer. They sometimes switch places," he mumbled the last part. "But I was promised that I wouldn't see you for a long time."

"Oh, don't be such a grump," Lilac waved her hand. "Pomni herself asked me to come out."

"HOHOHO! SHE WOULDN'T..." Caine began to protest, but Lilac silenced him. How?

She placed her hand on his lower jaw. Her lips brushed against his teeth for just a moment, but it was enough for Caine to straighten up and become stunned.

"But she would. And she did. You're all mine for a little while. Of course, I won't cross the line she set." Lilac ran her hand across Caine's head, making him look at her. "But I'm curious how long she'll let me balance on the edge of what's allowed."

Caine was trembling, either from anger or bliss. Lilac's touches were so gentle and pleasant that he wanted to drown in them...

"WHAT AM I EVEN THINKING ABOUT?" Caine pulled Lilac's hands off himself. "Give control back to Pomni. Now."

"Mr Puppetmaster. I can't." Lilac clasped her hands behind her back and swayed from side to side. "Our dear Combat Harlequin is well aware of my actions and is currently watching my every move."

Lilac closed her eyes for a few seconds, and when she opened them, it was Pomni who was back in control. Her elegant posture immediately shifted to a more combative stance.

"And that is why you should have given me the sword willingly. Now suffer with this fucking nympho! Ha!"

Pomni turned back into Lilac. She smiled sweetly and rushed toward Caine with open arms. The Puppetmaster teleported behind Kingr.

"First the Moon, and now this? You truly are affectionate, my friend."

"Kingr, you're not helping!" Caine's eyes widened.

Jax had been holding back laughter all this time. But eventually, he couldn't contain it anymore and burst into loud laughter.

"Pomni's now a prim and proper girl! Haha! Hey, ballerina! Dance for us!"

Lilac took these words literally. So, she assumed a ballerina's stance, and just as her hand rose into the air, Caine grabbed her.

"No, no, no, no. You're not going to dance. No, no, no." Repeating "no" over and over, Caine dragged Lilac into the mansion.

The mansion's residents watched them go.

"He's definitely..." Jax began.

"JAX!" Ragatha smacked him.

Meanwhile, Caine pulled Lilac into his office and closed the door behind him.

"Pomni. I know you can hear me! I know it!" He approached Lilac.

"Oh yes, Caine, I can hear you." Lilac clasped her hands together and bent one leg, then theatrically fluttered her eyelashes. "I’m here, my love. Let’s merge into a beautiful dance that embodies our feelings."

Caine was nauseated by such words. The Puppetmaster moved close to the Harlequin and stared into her sly eyes.

"What do you want?"

"You know what." Lilac ran her fingers across Caine's chest and slid her hand over his shoulder under his shirt. "Maybe..." She placed a finger on her lips. "You'll just give me what I want, and we'll go our separate ways?"

Caine's thoughts were muddled. He exhaled and placed a hand on the back of the Harlequin's neck.

"I'll give you this in advance, and you'll disappear. Understood?"

"Give what?" Lilac was genuinely surprised.

Caine placed one hand behind his back and pressed on Lilac's neck with the other. He kissed her. He expected her to respond, but instead, she seemed shocked. At some point, she wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. In that moment, Caine felt a change in the Harlequin's body. It was as if her movements and gentle breaths became harsher. The Puppetmaster decided to take a risk and wrapped his free hand around her waist. Their tongues intertwined in that dance of feelings and emotions she had mentioned earlier. But as soon as the kiss ended, the Harlequin whispered with only her lips.

"Sword..."

"Word?" Caine didn't catch it.

"SHE WANTED MY SWORD BACK! CHEATER!" Pomni yelled furiously.

She shook Caine by the shoulders so hard that if Caine had been a simpler puppet, he would have fallen apart.

"Pomni!" He stopped her. "By the middle of it, it was already you, not Lilac!"

"So what? You wanted to kiss her! If it weren't for the spot on the back of my neck, I would have..." Pomni suddenly fell silent. She realized she had said too much.

"What did you say? A spot on the back of your neck?" Caine casually moved to stand behind Pomni.

"N-nothing! I didn't say anything!" Pomni turned away.

"Is it perhaps this spot?" Caine lightly ran his finger over the place where the neck meets the head.

Pomni gasped sharply and covered her mouth with her hands. Caine smirked.

"Could it be that our dear Combat Harlequin has a weakness?" His hot breath scorched her neck.

"Caine. If you press too hard..." Another unintelligible sound escaped her throat. It was a reaction to how the Puppetmaster  running his finger along her neck. "Lilac and I will..."

Pomni's legs were giving way. How, and more importantly, from where did she have a weak spot?

"What will you two do? Kiss me to death?" Caine whispered sultrily into Pomni's ear. He took her hand with his free hand and kissed it.

"Caine..." Pomni couldn't take it anymore. "IF YOU PRESS TOO HARD, THAT NYMPHO AND I WILL SWITCH PLACES!"

Caine's eyes widened instantly, and he backed away, raising his hands.

"That's better." Pomni glared at Caine and headed for the couch.

The Harlequin flopped down on the couch and covered her face with her hands.

"Just take these rags off me."

Only now Caine realize that Pomni was still in Lilac's clothes. He walked over to her and sat in the chair next to her.

"What's taking you so long? Don't you want to touch this body? Don't you burn with desire every time these hands caress you? Isn't that what you want?" Pomni raised her hands in the air.

"Pomni." Caine looked straight at her. "What am I to you?"

"What do you mean?" The Harlequin sat up and crossed her legs in a lotus position.

"We've been sleeping together for several weeks now. You let me kiss you, touch you, look at you." Caine counted on his fingers. "But we never crossed the line. Whenever I start hinting at something more, you begin to back off."

"Pff. That's nothing." She waved her hand dismissively.

"When I almost slept with Lilac, you were furious." Caine stated with absolute seriousness.

Pomni was taken aback. Her gaze darted from Caine to the window and back again.

"Well, yeah!" The Harlequin found the strength to say. "It's my body. I won't let just anyone stick anything into me!"

"Pomni!" Caine clenched his fists. "Am I just anyone?"

"I meant..." Pomni had to think quickly. "I meant, why would my lover be having fun with someone else? By the way, I was first!"

Caine was stunned, then a smile spread across his face.

"I'm your lover?"

Pomni blushed.

"D-don't smile like that! It just slipped out! I wasn't even thinking about my words!"

The Puppeteer moved to sit next to the Harlequin on the couch. He hugged her and twirled a strand of her hair around his finger.

"I understand that these feelings are new to you. But they're new to me too. Let's explore them gradually."

Pomni leaned into his embrace. She wanted to respond. She wanted to say something. But there was a lump in her throat. So they remained lying on the couch in the Puppetmaster's office... until there was a knock on the door.

"Caine! Where should I leave Pomni's sword?" Ragatha's voice came from the other side of the door.

"I'll go get your weapon. You rest." Caine kissed Pomni on the forehead and walked to the door.

The Harlequin rolled onto her side. Her gaze became hazy. It seemed she had once again retreated into her subconscious.

Scarlet

Chapter #4

Scarlet rushed up the stairs his chuckles echoing through the stairwell as Pomni raced after him. He repeatedly escaped her grasp and gained more and more distance between them.

"Fuck, he's just as fast as Caine..." Pomni muttered to herself.

Scarlet continued his ascent. And finally he saw it, the top of the stairs, the exit to the bunker.

"Upward and outward!" Scarlet cheered as he reached the top of the stairs, finding the secret entrance to the bunker already open as he ran out.

"Wait, no!" Pomni tried to call, but he was already outside the shed that served as the bunkers entrance.

Pomni ran out right after him. Scarlet looked around, the space around the shed was an overgrown clearing in a densely wooded area.

"Oh, how pretty." Scarlet said, looking around the moonlit clearing.

"Caine? What are you doing out here?" A calm, albeit confused voice came from one side of the clearing.

Kingr was standing there, he'd probably been looking at fireflies or moths, though now his attention was on the assassin Harlequin that had just burst out of the shed.

"Oh! You're one of the bunker residents, Kingr, yes?" Scarlet walked over to greet him.

"Oh goodness, Caine, have you lost your mind?" Kingr inquired.

"Well-! MMFH!!!" Scarlet was abruptly cut off as Pomni grabbed his head like he was a misbehaving dog.

"Hey dad... Why are you out of the bunker?" Pomni asked awkwardly, loosely wrestling to keep Scarlet's head in place under her arm.

"Hm? Oh, I'm just looking at the nighttime insects, like this moth here!" Kingr's eye was quickly caught by an insect flying into the forest that he quickly followed.

Pomni sighed tiredly before starting to drag Scarlet back down into the bunker, still firmly holding his jaw shut.

"Are you insane!?" Pomni finally snapped at Scarlet, tossing him to the floor they got to her office. "You're enough work on your own, I don't need everyone else getting involved!"

"Oh come on! They'll find out about me eventually~" Scarlet purred out, his overly relaxed tone only fueling Pomni's growing rage.

Pomni was more than tempted to knock the idiot out for the night and hope Caine was the one who woke up in the morning.

"You know how to shut me up y'know~" Scarlet leaned back where he was sitting on the floor, tilting his head slightly.

Pomni growled lowly, taking a deep breath before smirking under her mask. She had a wonderful idea on how to vent her aggression.

"You know what? Fine. You want my attention? I'll give you my fucking attention." Pomni growled out, walking to stand over Scarlet. Pomni dropped to her knees over his lap, grabbing him by the tie and shoving him to lay down. "But you better damn act right if you want this to be any good for you."

"yes Yes YES!" Scarlet grabbed Pomni's hips. "Yes yes..." Suddenly his eyes changed. Panic came over Caine as his eyes faded back to his normal colors. "no No NO!"

Caine quickly moved his hands off Pomni's hips. Before Pomni could even react to the switch Caine shoved her back by the shoulders, knocking her to the ground as he quickly moved his legs against his chest where he was sitting.

"Caine! You're back..." Shock and relief flooded Pomni's voice, along with a rush of guilt.

Before Pomni could even think of what to say next Caine started speaking.

"Pomni! Y- You dirty criminal!!! You were going t- to!! W- WITH HIM!?!?"

"Well I didn't think you were going to-" Pomni started to speak, though she was quickly cut off.

Caine suddenly lunged at her, though she grabbed his hands she tumbled backwards onto the ground with Caine over her. After a bit of struggling Caine had both of Pomni's hands pinned over her head, much to the harlequin's displeasure. Pomni twisted and struggled to get out from under him but found it to be in vain. Caine noted somewhere in the back of his head that Pomni's bell had been jingling the whole time she struggled. Caine slowly leaned down and to Pomni's surprise, and maybe even his own, he kissed the side of her neck. The sudden, bold action completely stopped Pomni in her tracks, leaving her completely frozen under him. After a moment Caine whispered into her ear softly.

"Why.... Were... Were you actually going to..."

Pomni didn't know how to react. She honestly hadn't been thinking, she had only wanted to quell her anger, to forget that Scarlet was the one there and not Caine...

"I..." Pomni started shakily, not knowing exactly what she planned to say.

Caine placed his free hand on her cheek, carefully holding the edge of her mask.

"May I?" Caine spoke quietly, Caine never usually asked before doing something impulsive, but the eyes shining down at her were definitely Caine's, not Scarlet's.

"You deserve to see more than he did..." Pomni slipped her hands out of Caine's grip and removed her mask on her own, letting Caine see her "real" face for the first time. Badly damaged and, to Caine, even more beautiful than the mask she wore.

That night was the first time Pomni allowed Caine into her room, neither of them even had the energy to remove their clothes before falling asleep facing each other, so close and yet so far at the same time...

"I'm sorry..." Caine mumbled before closing his eyes.

"Huh?" Pomni squinted her eyes open for a moment, though Caine wasn't there to respond anymore.

For a moment, everything was dark, then Pomni's office seemed to just materialize around him.

Them, actually, considering he was staring an almost mirror image of himself in the face.

There wasn't even a moment for either of them to speak before Caine lunged at Scarlet, he knew he couldn't technically kill him, but he made it more than obvious that he really wanted to.

They fought and roughhoused for a few minutes, both of them getting out their aggression and anger before "calmly" sitting face to face to talk.

"Fuck you" Scarlet growled out, breaking the silence. The swear was covered by static noise but still clearly understandable.

"LANGUAGE..." Caine snapped out, almost automatically, taking a moment before quietly adding. "But, likewise..."

"It was supposed to be MY turn..." Scarlet crossed his arms.

"She's MINE... And MINE alone..." Caine growled out, not even thinking before speaking. Though technically they were in his thoughts in hindsight Caine was thankful that he didn't say that out loud.

"You're forgetting one little detail; I'm a part of you, whether you like it or not..." Scarlet retorted.

"Still, if we ever do... THAT... with her I will be the one who does it first, it's MY body." Caine spoke sharply, watching Scarlet roll his eyes in response. "Oh, and if you think I'm ever letting you out again after this little stunt, you're sorely mistaken..."

"Ugh, fine..." Scarlet groaned, though didn't seem to fight him on the matter.

"Fine? What do you mean "fine"!?" Caine immediately became suspicious of Scarlet.

"Oh please, you'll need my help at some point~" Scarlet purred out in that almost sickly sweet tone he always seemed to have. "Also, boo!"

Suddenly Caine opened his eyes, the room was dark but the glow of his eyes allowed him to see just in front of him, Pomni... He didn't know what time it was, probably early morning, but it didn't matter all too much. He and Pomni were still lying face to face like how they'd fallen asleep, he slowly moved his hand to cradle her face carefully lovingly studying the damage on one side of it as if looking for something that he couldn't see even though it was right there in front of him... Oh well, it didn't matter, it was too early to care. Despite his better judgement Caine pulled Pomni against himself before closing his eyes again. He signed softly as he felt Pomni return his embrace before realizing something.

"You're awake!"

"Well if I wasn't before I definitely am now..." Pomni slowly opened her eyes, looking up at Caine from within his arms. "You're so aggressive and high energy sometimes, but you're so calm and soft when you see fit... You and Scarlet aren't complete opposites."

Caine growled softly.

"Don't mention his name in such a context."

They both closed their eyes falling asleep again with the same rhythm of breathing for the first time in a very long time ...
