Chapter 6 of the new Ainosuke x Aura series!!!

The restaurant was upscale, and Aura was glad that Wakana had suggested a more formal outfit for today. Even so, they felt a bit out of place as Ainosuke helped them parse the menu, putting in an order that would be a sufficient amount of food. They recalled the time when they had mistakenly ordered way too much, their perception of what a "gram" represented sorely lacking.

AYATO FIC MY BELOVED sobs

"You lived in Sumeru?" Ayato asked, genuinely surprised.

"Yeah. Didn't Thoma tell you?" Void looked perplexed, eyes raised to the sky as they considered if they could recall the information being shared.

"He didn't mention it."

"Ah. I lived there for many years. I was a student in the Akademiya, and I even published a few papers."

Why did you leave? Ayato bit his tongue, holding back the question. As matter of fact as their answer was, there was a clear sadness in their eyes as they said it. That, combined with the feelings they had expressed about their Vision, were allowing him to begin to piece together something about how that experience might have gone. He knew very little of the Akademiya, only the rumors that floated into Inazuma, and the occasional frenetic Akademiya researcher who ended up in Inazuma. None of the rumors were terrible positive - and all of those researchers had seemed more stressed than happy.

He settled for responding, "that's quite an achievement."

"Ha." Void's self deprecating smile was almost painful to see. "Hardly. I was nobody of importance, and my work will fade away into obscurity." Their tail was thrashing around behind them.

"..." He wanted to comfort them, but he didn't know enough about them to do that. He wanted more information, but he could tell that if he pushed, they would shut down. He chose to say nothing, merely looking at them with interest, and a hint of sympathy.

"Sorry." They grabbed the end of their ponytail, pulling it forward over their shoulder to fidget with it. "It's a sensitive subject. That's probably why Thoma didn't mention it to you."

"You don't need to apologize." Ayato offered. "We all have things that we would rather not think about."

Zhongli Proposal

OLD ASS FIC GODDAMN FEKJWHFJKEHWKJ I FORGOT ABOUT THIS. I never finish wedding fics fdkajshfkjasd

"Oh. Yes. I'm going to propose to Wendy." Zhongli said bluntly, a look of determination crossing his face. Childe froze in place, the food he'd impaled on his chopstick sliding off and onto his plate.

"ZHONGLI 先生!!!" Childe set his chopsticks down to put his hands on his cheeks, grinning like a madman. "That's wonderful! How are you going to propose?"

Zhongli huffed, one arm crossing his body, the other hand going to his chin.

"Thank you. I am...somewhat undecided as to how to proceed. The ancient traditions around proposals are clearly no longer relevant, as they involve asking the father of the bride, and while Wendy is okay with the term 'bride', she isn't a woman, nor is she the property of her parents. In fact, she's estranged from them, so it becomes even more impossible, even if it were not so antiquated." Zhongli's long winded explanation left Childe looking at him in mild annoyance. "...yes?"

"Even someone as old as you can do better than that, gramps," He joked, rolling his eyes. "You gotta go big." His eyes widened. "You should take her to Liuli Pavillion! I'll even front you the money, cause you're gonna forget it otherwise. And, and, you could get on one knee and propose! Do you have a ring yet? You gotta get her a nice ring too." Childe seemed thoroughly delighted by all of this.

"You're awfully excited," Zhongli responded, blinking at Childe's enthusiastic response.

"Well, YEAH! Can't believe the old man's finally getting married. Get it!" He laughed, elbowing Zhongli teasingly.

Fishy Fish

Aaaaah the little meow meow au for Rufus that I never even started posting. Still a fave of mine though!

Lightvoid had reservations about this. But they also had a sensitive nose that had quickly picked up the delicious scent of fish. They couldn't remember the last time they'd had unprocessed fish. Come to think of it, had they ever had fish before? It smelled a lot like one of the foods Rufus had been giving them, but even stronger. They were salivating.

The look on Rufus' face as they poked their head out was...soft. They had never seen such an expression on the lab humans. He looked excited, and eager, and awed all at once. And as they stepped fully out from under the couch, crouching low to the ground as they approached his out stretched hand, his wonder only seemed to grow. Despite their anxiety about being out in the open in front of him, they couldn't help but find his reaction to them endearing. It felt...nice. To be looked at like that, rather than...how things had been.

Could he really be a bad person if he looked like that, and more importantly, if he was giving them this delicious treat for seemingly no reason? Well, they supposed it was because of hissing at Darkstar...? Whatever, it didn't matter why.

They pressed their nose right up to the fish, sniffing. Rufus was clearly holding his breath, staring with wide eyes. They licked the fish. Their pupils grew huge. This was even better than the cat food had been. Leagues better! They quickly ate the small pieces, all their anxiety dissipated at having tasted something so good.

Just as they finished, they felt a slight pressure on the top of their head. Instantly, without a second thought or moment of hesitation, they darted back to the couch. They were halfway under before they realized what had happened.

Rufus had tried to pet them. They turned around, poking their head back out. He looked devastated, frozen in position. One hand was still upturned, the one that still smelled of salmon, and the other hovered where their head had been.

Shopping

chapter 30 of the new RufAura fic, hehe~

"Let's get a move on then," Reno said, snickering to himself as he drove the car away. "So, ready for some shopping, Mistrum?"

"I think so? M-maybe." Aura squirmed, smiling despite the nervousness that flitted across their face. Darkstar snuffled, reaching her head over to nudge Aura's leg. Aura reached down and pet the dog, smile going soft.

"Maybe? What are ya even nervous about?" Reno met Rufus' gaze in the rearview with a grin before dropping his eyes back to the road.

"You don't have to answer him, Aura," Rufus interrupted, rolling his eyes. "In fact, I'm sorry I brought him along at all." He was smirking, his tone just barely making it clear he was joking.

"Aw, don't be like that. Mr Sandbag over here may be able to keep you safe, but I'm gonna be the one bringing the fun!" Reno snickered again.

"Excuse me?" Karma grumbled, fixing Reno with an icy glare.

"Actually, I'm feeling well enough anyway, I could definitely protect ya too-"

"Reno, that's enough," Rufus interrupted again. "Though, Aura, you do seem nervous. Is there something I could do to put your mind at ease?"

[Blank Scripts AU] The Protagonist and The Narrator.

Also it's so funny how the game is literally just some silly dudes with existentialism and an old guy distracting himself with other things to not think about it then there's whatever these AUs are

I love AUs, Undertale did this to me [but Blank Scripts and Achromatic Loop, other than borrowing concepts and characters, are pretty much original works though aayyeee 👉👉]

Ok ok ok @hatekawa consider this: during Mikeys alone time walk, he finds himself a cat :3

Every Mikey deserves a cat fr

[darkmuffinstudios]

HC that Killer Talks/meows back to his cats all the time and that he also started sharing this hobby with Cross hehehehe

[nocek]

A little continuation in my Gabriella lives au that already happened here and here.

So my another little headcanon, besides that Miguel is awkwardly attempting here to sorta adopt Gwen and is trying to figure out how to convince her to go back to school, is the night routine.

So Miguel (who read too many parenting guides* to catch up quickly and not fuck up this precious child) strongly believes in leading by example. So since he wants Gabriella to have good sleeping habits after her nightly routine he also goes to sleep at sensible hour. But he can't sleep through whole night so when he wakes up at ungodly hour he does some light work not to wake up her.

Then he prepares breakfast and bento (he totally had to learn to cook, you can't convince me otherwise) and with time he started having a little fun with it and then it became kinda hobby. It helps him wind down so that after he sends Gabriella to school he is actually able to take an extra 1-2 hour nap.

(* as in parenting guides for child of Gabriella age, totally clueless what to do with a traumatized teenager but after the denial he probably will do the homework)

Cute spot for your worries

[goldenworldsabound]

well at the moment my hand is doing good! So some ff7 si rambling. @virus-selfship tagging you as both my inspiration and you said you were eager so :D mostly under the cut as this is gonna get long fkjdsahkj

THE PRIMARY SI...AURA GOLDEN

Scientist at Shinra who finds the wrong kind of attention focused on them when they produce a breakthrough in the production of All-Materia. Scarlet takes claim of the research and the result (shocking) and Aura gets nothing. Aura gets bad advice from their parents to confront Scarlet about a raise and WOW that goes badly. Scarlet has them transferred to one of the labs with a high injury and mortality rate. Luckily, Rufus is there. Well, sort of. This is during the time in Before Crisis where he's under house arrest in the Turks HQ, but still has all his administrative VP access. He's been watching Aura for quite some time (with his crush that he's decidedly not calling a crush), and when he sees the transfer he promptly reroutes it to somewhere safer and not associated with Scarlet.

As an aside, he was fucking with lots of people who were rude to Aura ALL THE TIME from his house arrest. He also got them moved off the sector 7 plate and into sector 5 housing way ahead of schedule, and demanded Tseng bring him whatever they had for lunch. He was stalking them through the Shinra security cameras fkjdsahfkjds

ANYWAY once he becomes President he's like :) Aura will be a really good pawn wife and so I am going to promote them and ask them on a date. Truly convinced himself this is about getting people on his side and not just falling for them. Okay Rufus. ANYWAY! They start dating, Hojo runs off, he promotes them to Director in Hojo's place, they enjoy being in love, and then shit hits the fan. Aura sticks by Rufus the whole time, all the way through AC, of course. So that's loosely the course of that!

Other fun facts about Aura, in their spare time they make hella weird materia, for fun, including one that makes you smell bananas when you use it. I wrote a fic about this fkjdsahfkjdsa also they have a modified Slugray that they can control with a controller (it's a ps4 controller lol) or their voice depending on the mode. They also wear a lot of materia in their daily clothing. They love materia.

THE SECOND PRIMARY SI...CRYSTALLINE ANGEL

This SI is childhood friends with Reno. They grew up in the slums together. Reno was the scrawny orphan the bullies liked to pick on, and Crystalline was the cry baby tattle tale who liked him. They both had little childhood crushes even back then. Crystalline's parents got enough money to move up to the plate, and that was the end of that. :') Crystalline carries around a materia on a chain (Barrier!) that Reno found in a trash pile when they were kids, back when neither of them actually knew what it was.

Now, Crystalline works directly with Reeve as the Principal Software Engineer for his department. They oversee projects more than they do actual software these days, but it's good work. It feels meaningful, even though they know Shinra is corrupt as hell. At least they are doing good with city planning and resources for citizens...right?

One day they cross paths with Reno out of the blue. This would be early in the Before Crisis timeline probably. Verdot is still around. Reno and Crystalline are both ??? no way. But they don't have time to say anything. They each use their admin power to look the other up. Reno is the one to do something though - he sits with them at lunch one day and they get to talking and start up a friendship.

Oddly enough, the ever flirty and suave Reno is struggling to confess to Crystalline, who recognizes that he flirts with everyone and thus doesn't believe he means it with them. So he's struggling. but it DOES happen!!! and they get together ❤️

SECONDARY RUFUS SI ONE...MEOW MEOW

Lightvoid the Wrathcat. I have written fic for this but never posted it (the above two SIs have LOTS of fic hehe). Basically, this SI was...someone who worked at Shinra. They don't remember who they were anymore. Hojo decided at some point to experiment on them, and they simply disappeared. Just a nameless victim. His experiments turned them into a Wrathcat - like the Wrath Hounds, but a bit smaller and a cat. They are a silver tabby also! They can turn back into a human, but they long stopped doing that in Hojo's lab. Due to the questionable nature of all of this, Hojo didn't properly document, and very few people know they are actually a person. Does Hojo even know? It's unclear.

One day when Rufus is down with Darkstar for her check up with Hojo, Darkstar gets upset and obsessed with the Wrathcat, sensing their intelligence. Rufus sees how insistent Darkstar is and ends up adopting the unnamed cat, forcing Hojo to hand them over. He names them Lightvoid as a contrast to Darkstar. Lightvoid takes a long time to warm up to him, but he's so happy when they do. And they're really happy with him and Darkstar.

Of course, eventually it's time to take them in for a check up with Hojo, and that's when they freak out and eventually turn back into a (naked) human and with vocal cords that haven't been used in years beg him not to take them. Rufus is understandably shocked and confused but calms them down. They struggle to speak. He asks their name. They say Lightvoid. He asks for the one before that. They don't know. They don't want to know. They like this.

And there's lots of shenanigans in this one. Honestly I'm not sure if it will end up being a romantic ship or not but it's really fun.

SECONDARY RUFUS SI...TWO! Wendy

This is an arranged marriage au with Rufus! Wendy, from a well to do wealthy family, is set to marry Rufus from basically birth. The two spend lots of time together, and Wendy supports Rufus unquestioningly, even when he's unkind to them as a young kid struggling to deal with his father's abuse. They even help him with Avalanche (Before Crisis).

The problem comes when Rufus becomes President and is like "cool anyway Avalanche can die now" and Wendy is like WOAH bro, I thought we were supporting them??? They're RIGHT and Rufus is like um??? no???

he's so used to Wendy always being there he's completely taken them for granted, so when they threaten to leave he's like "lol sure okay" because they ALWAYS come back to him, ALWAYS.

But then they find the main crew as they're leaving Midgar and join up with them. Which is such a pain for the Turks tbh. The Turks are like we have to bring them back but YOU WON'T LET US USE FORCE ON THEM??? Rufus is like if I see a single bruise or scratch I will have you executed :) can't tell if he's joking.

The main trio is quite wary of me and honestly that's fair a huge part of my motivation is a fuck you to Rufus for taking me for granted fhdsakjfhkjdsa but also I'm super prissy princess and struggling with this outdoor shit. But Aerith and Tifa are really friendly to me and I can provide helpful info! I just am super recognizable so that's a problem fkjdsahfks but very high charisma so there is that!

Once the crew gets captured and brought to Junon Rufus is really mad at me. He's really upset. And he locks me up in a bedroom and tells me no one will come for me OR miss me and also fuck you- fkhkjdsa and yeah everyone DOES leave cause...well they figure I'm safe and there isn't time. They don't want to leave without me but that's how it is. I do totally take it personally - "I'm not one of them". I don't hate them for it but it hurts because it means Rufus is right.

And once Rufus cools off actually he's. Well. Comes to me for comfort. And we make up especially with the impending end of the world. Even get an apology out of him. And I apologize. And it's good for us.

okay my summary document for this au is really funny fkjdahfkjdsa

Um OH YEAH my role besides VP's wife was charity events and balls and stuff. So I worked with Reeve and the Turks for that! This is a very fun AU and rereading it made me want to actually write for it KJHFKWJHFKEW dammit Rufus-
