wip wednesday (feat shibuya groundhog day/time loop multi-ch goyuu)

blurb | holy shit y’all, I’ve got another multi-ch jjk fic on the block. and it's not interfering w adsr. I have never had the mental capacity to as much as consider two multi-ch fics at the same time; if I’m working on a multi-ch wip, and inspiration suddenly strikes and forces me to get another one off the ground, I just abandon the former for the latter. they can never co-exist. well until now apparently.

maybe due to the fact that this is like, the first longish fic I’ve ever set out to write, that I know needs to start with x, and contain y, to equate z (in less dumbass terms: I know what the fuck I’m supposed to write (which I never do lmao, as a writer I operate on 0 thoughts 100% vibes in the purest sense, which is idiotic when all I can write is plotty as sh*t)). which is why I’m slowly fleshing out ch 09 of adsr alongside chapter 1/2 of cv/sm (title isn’t necessarily all that spoiler-y, but in a sense it is, so keeping the full thing under wraps for now). estimating chapter length to be around at least 10-ish k each.

annnnd bc it’s fun to dump a wip somewhere whilst in-progress, I’ll be doing these wip wednesday updates whenever there’s something to say about it.

premise | unlike what I told @voxofthevoid, this is not post-jjk light novel reading, crack-adjacent, wholesome goyuu fluff: this is ‘a groundhog day/timeloop two-shot feat satoru trying to move mountains/himself w limitless inside prison realm, wherein he succeeds in breaking out (and into different timelines), only to have his every attempt at righting various wrongs turn to shit’

may or may not turn out well; will absolutely contain 1. goyuu 2. post-apocalyptic timeline 3. bb!satoru timeline (& various ??? canon + non-canon timelines) 4. sports metaphors (sry but y’all know me by now)

jaySUS enough of me click on the cut to read a first (very rough) excerpt. if you want to get in to The Vibe I recommend listening to: 01. VTSS — Why we don’t deserve nice things 02. Tzusing — 戴綠帽 (Wear Green Hat) 03. Low — Poor Sucker

01. full time elapsed  | t = tf (tf = 5 259 492 000) – t0 (t0 = 31/10/2018 21:22)

The shore is not so much a shore anymore.

Satoru shields a hand—and himself—against dank, bloodspill red rays of supposed-to-be-sunlight. He squints, for the second time in very short—a novelty—as he slowly treks up a quasi-path in sand that’s less sand, more earth-adjacent carnage. There’s as much splintered rock and powdered mineral, weighed down by radioactive algae, as there is—

Bone. Satoru didn’t pay all that much attention to any of his number of biology classes, but via this or the other, he knows that he just stepped clean through the porous curve of a partial ilium crest. 

Bone. And calcified curse. Whoever’s pelvis he just crushed beneath the heel of his boot is fifty fifty, somehow. Curses have weight to them: Satoru doesn’t mean that in an abstract, flighty sense; curses weigh literal kilos, if realized enough. And this bit of so old it’s become brittle-bone isn’t brittle because it doesn’t have the amassed density of dense bone mineral and weighty curse—

It’s brittle because the curse which blankets the very atmosphere—and by extension Satoru—like the incredible opposite of stepping out into balmy, subtropical climate after so long breathing recycled air on long flight, is so much heavier.

Satoru swallows against a parched throat he hadn’t realized was this dry. Bile amasses sour at the back of his tongue. He’s not so naïve as to not believe his eyes; they’ve never deceived him, though he has admittedly, a scant number of times, seen only a partial piece when he’s supposed to have zoomed out, regarded the whole frame. So he won’t do himself the discourtesy of cowering for what he is indeed seeing, right now, either.

Wherever he is might be Tokyo; might be Japan. It might not be. The thought occurs to him that there might be no such thing as ‘Japan’ at this point.

He scuffs a toe in the wet kind of-sand. At least the ocean remains a steady, squalling, sucking depth of blue-grey-black: a constant. He puts a cupped palm to shield his eyes as he scans his immediate surroundings: the carnage-filled slope of the once-beach hitches up into a small rock jut. Satoru climbs it with wary, though loping steps. Can’t reach the peak far enough, just as he can’t wait to wake up, startled out of horrid, nightmarish slumber by his senses wavering, flickering out of active guard for a millisecond.

Fucking ironic, how being imprisoned in an alternate dimension, whilst your comrades are no doubt slaughtered, picked off one by one on the outside, can apparently measure up and beyond to a certain iteration of reality.

The world beyond Satoru’s meager outlook spot, for lack of actual, original words, looks like a most fleshed out iteration of Ducasse’s juxtaposed sewing machine and an umbrella, flayed bare and egregiously stitched together, there on the dissecting table. A subcutaneous fissure in the earth yawns wide and open ahead of him, having broken through what was once maybe an inlaid asphalt road, which might’ve bisected the dry landscape, made it into something traversable. Farther ahead, vines have staked their claim on man made structures: lampposts and road signs lilt askew, overgrown now and mostly impossible to identify by cursory glance alone. To his left, far up ahead, a probable once upon a time-gas station has been half-gouged out of place, bits and pieces of the foundation strewn, alongside the disembodied hood of a car, and the shriveled spirals of torn-apart rubber, like so much collateral, structural shrapnel.

The air is heady and thick with curse. It’s invasive, and everywhere, muggy and humid; it fills his pores to the brim, snakes into his clothes, mingles so thoroughly with the oxygen that it might as well be one and the same.

Satoru doesn’t have the personality to become overwhelmed: whatever typical strains of reactionary, knee jerk, emotional responses might’ve once been ingrained into the core of him, he’s successfully whetted away over time. Has picked out, grasped between the thumb and pad of index finger, and ripped out by the root.

He sinks to a crouch by way of slow inching. Drops his weight until he’s dislodged most of his mass to be temporarily suspended in the aborted motion of balancing himself between the flat of his sole, and his knees. He puts his right hand to rest on top of his rocky underfoot, not in support, but to feel dense, solid earth under his knuckles as he tightens them. He dispels Infinity, in this instant giving less than a flying fuck about what might happen to him as a result of it, and digs his blunt fingernails into the meat of his palm until it breaks into gaping, blood pulsing lesions.

BRINGING CLOSURE TO THE JALLIANWALA BAGH MASSACRE OF 1919!

Came across an article informing of the 1st ever official release, in 2021, of names of the people that so sadly 'went away from us' as a result of what's come to be known in history as 'The Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre' of Apr 13, 1919 !

So went to the referred website, & upon cursory glance, the Good Lord & my spirit instantly informed me, that EACH OF THE ~500-550 'martyrs' (this identified as the total number of victims of the tragedy) from that tragic episode, had 999,999 Million Billion Billion……………755 times mentioned Billion Governing Council members in their family lineage, & an angel-lineage number of 1000, moreover with ~9 of their elders in immediate 1st gen family, also carrying the exact same 'blessing' as them!

Bewilderingly, the villain of the piece, Brig. Gen. R.E.H. Dyer, also had the exact same number of 999,999 Million Billion Billion……………755 times mentioned Billion Governing Council members in his family lineage, moreover with ~9 of his elders in immediate 1st gen family, also carrying the exact same 'blessing' as him! But the Good Lord also informs me, that with his last birth's acts as Dyer, all his previous births have NOW forever been nullified!

Hope this bring some closure, to all viewers & readers of one of the cruelest chapters in our textbook of Indian history, over the past century & more.

The Good Lord wishes, that they all live in the peaceful memories of their friends & families, forever, knowing how they went away to a nicer place after all!

[ritterintahlia]

Hallo!

I am in a life-sharing mood today; finally, I am not ill to the extent of everything blurring into one Impressionist image anymore and thus I am quite happy.

What would I like to share exactly?

Well, I am not ill anymore (as seen above), even if really tired still; I have just received books Pandora - Wovon träumst du? and Cassandra - Niemand wird dir glauben and, finally, I once again remembered something we have discussed with my Grandfather.

I would like to tell you about it in greater detail, particularly about English lessons with my Grandfather (my first English teacher altogether!): today, it is the 20th of April and with him, we have been reading a wonderful old English textbook with a short supplementary reading to each chapter. He has showed me the last part of it, commented shortly on it, and I have remembered it then, and it has been some twenty years ago: O to be in England // Now that April 's there

Even now, that my Grandfather is long gone, he has left a profound impression on me; this short page being one small example of it. Some of the others would be: the need to use any language precisely; the attitude of not judging books by their covers; and love for classical music. (In fact, I am so moved at the moment, I have been listening to Mendelssohn-Bartholdy´s Symphony No. 4 while writing this text.)

And the most impressive part of it?

I am not a great lover of English and American culture. My attitude towards English language is very utilitarian; I prefer German translations and, of course, originals; I would choose Gotthold Ephraim Lessing over Bronte sisters at any moment; and yet, there are situations when I stand in the middle of he room, remember the quotes from above and maybe even say it out loud, just like Grandfather used to.

It´s April and so I thought to myself I could share this piece of information with you; it has made me feel so light and elegant! I am thankful.

However, in contrast to my Grandfather, I tend to read more fiction than him - not exclusively but even so. I have mentioned books called Pandora and Cassandra above; upon receiving them, I have discovered they are 492 and 461 pages long, respectively! (Not that I am complaining.)

My reading list have just got so much longer: in addition to these, there are Splitter aus Silber und Eis and Das Parfum on my list; Das Versprechen, Matto regiert and Schlumpf Erwin Mord; Izara; Babel as well, just estimating roughly.

🌸

PS: I have not abandoned Wahnsinn regiert; but because there are things to be done in some other parts of my life...

Reading One Piece pt 245: 30 Kidnappings? How?

Chapter 492

Thoughts:

- Volume 51 “Sabaody”! Yeah, it’s Sabaody Archipelago Arc, gotta remember. As for cover, there’s a lot of new faces. I KNOW I saw the redhead somewhere but I just can’t remember the name. And I DO recognize Law! Hey Law! I didn’t met you but I already like you!

- Obligatory Shanks in the character chart :) but besides that there’s nothing of note, for I don’t care for Fishman Gang (yet?)

- Fpos/cs: “Air Door” !!!! It’s CP9! It’s Blueno, he’s probably rescuing Lucci! (damn, do I not care for Lucci. I didn’t even register he was the main villain of the arc till the very end of his and Luffy’s fight. I registered he’s a fascist or something, of course, but generally I was too busy liking Spandam’s incompetence. Damn but do I not care for Lucci. I care more for Blueno and he was the one with that creppy bear mask) (is that Spoiler Guy in the background)

- Recaps of first chapters in the arc are much harder to make I noticed. You just don’t know where you should look and what you should notice AND there’s a lot of new information to process

- Straw Hats are wondering why Fish Gang left without a fight

- At the Fish Gang Base

- Duval got a short temper

- Accent? Throbbing back?

- Ok, which of Straw Hats is Duval so mad at. I’m very sure it’s not Luffy. Maybe Brook? He’s new, he has past and he’s currently quite awkward

- Chill man

- More fishmen

- Lol, they’re Duval’s Angels

- Wait, that’s Hachi right there

- Lifelong grudge while Straw hats were together for, what, few months by now? Hm

- Hey, Hachi remembers Straw Hats! Well, it’s hard not to. But he’s also worried about Nami. Bless the continuity of this manga

- Huh, Straw Hats are already here, it was fast

- JUST GIVE ME A NAME DUVAL

- Camie was captured around 30 times? Wow, she’s either a master of escaping or Fish Gang has a really bad security. Probably both

- Well, what now

- Camie, that’s obviously a trap

- Hachi

- STRAW HATS RECOGNIZED HIM! What a good day

- East Blue veterans need to explain Arlong to Grand Line newbies :D

- (how did it not come up sooner?)

- Whoops, now Luffy doesn’t want to rescue him. I’m cool with it but someone should mention Takoyaki again, just in case

- “Caught between your appetite and reason” there are worse things to get stuck between, Sanji

- “Oh, for the love of…” oh, Zoro

- And Camie got kidnapped. That’s just sad (She’s clearly not a master of escaping)

- Nami’s thinking

- Nami decided they’re saving them cause why not

- Luffy’s already on the job. Do it for the food

- BUT THUS WAS A TRAP

- Fight time!

It’s nice to see Straw Hats so ready to thrown down :)

Reading One Piece: Chapters 492-493

-”His accent’s so thick, me must be furious!” skdjfhsdkfjh welp

-”The Macro Gang alone has caught me 30 times!” “That’s too many times!” Damn, Camie, you going for a world record there?

-Ooh, floating town! Those are always cool.

-”Hey, how’s Arlong doing?” Hah, that one way to get through his “disguise.” Sorry, Hachi, you’re back in the thick of it now.

-”We won’t rescue you! But before that... tell me, are your octopus fritters any good?” dfkhsdfkh sasuga Luffy

-”Who’s got the freshest fish?” ahahaha that line should not be so cool

-Ah yes, benefits of flying fish steeds, you’re versatile in the air and water.

-”We’ll let you off easy todaaaaaaaaay!” And just like that, the Macro Gang is one. Their time was short, but... actually, it was just short.

-”I wanna ride one! Aaaaagh!” I feel you, Luffy, those things are cool.

-Brook being the party’s bard is a great touch.

-”You know me... don’t you!” Crap. Luffy recognized this guy. That can’t be good.

Chanswell Forest, Ainamoryp, May 3rd, 492, 18:30

Off in the distance, the sun begins its descent, bathing the sky in splashes of oranges and pinks. It’s somewhat hard to pinpoint through the thick canopy of the forest, but the last sunrays of the day still poke through the trees. The ivory steed Shouto rides upon walks at a comfortable speed; poor thing had spent most of the day galloping past farmlands and numerous villages, all in hopes of taking the prince to safety.

There’s a watchpoint south of here, hidden away in the woods. Get there, seek for help. The soldiers there will lead you to safety.

That’s what the one palace guard had told Shouto right before he took off. Chances are the guard is long dead by now, much like the rest of Endeavor and the royal court of Dinton Keep. A bitter taste lingers on his tongue, paired with a dull ache pounding at his temples. Bastards, the whole lot of them! If only he stayed, he could’ve saved more lives. It’s his duty to protect the people of his land, to ward off any potential dangers, no matter how big or small. Better yet, he has no idea why the northern land of Nialliv invaded in the first place. As far as he knew, the political relations between the two nations were perfectly fine. While they weren’t the best of friends, they weren’t enemies, either.

“Dammit all to hell,” Shouto seethes under his breath. Whatever the cause of the invasion may be, he had to figure it out – and fast.

As the sun continues to set, the forest darkens evermore. Like his father, Shouto was born with excelled magical abilities, unlike most of the mortals in the land. It was a miracle that both his mother and father passed on their traits, granting him the power of fire and ice. They serve him well, make him quite the formidable opponent when it comes to battle. He creates a flame in his left hand, casting a bright glow around him and the horse as they continue their trek through the forest. Judging by the way things are going, he might have to come to a stop and find some sort of shelter for the night. He hadn’t suspected that the watchtower be so far away from Dinton Keep.

Perhaps it’s the work of the gods or a simple miracle when he spots torches in the distance. Drawing closer still, the dimly lit watchtower comes into view, standing tall and proud. Large, weathered stones make up the walls, iron torches bolted into their sides. It’s an impressive tower, to say the least. A lone guard stands out front, swinging back a lambskin flask and chugging down its contents. He sputters as Shouto’s horse comes forth, its greeting whiny loud through the forest’s silence.

“Aye, bloody hell-“ the guard cuts himself short once his eyes land on Shouto’s face. They grow to a comical size, nearly bulging from the sockets as his jaw falls lax. “Your highness!” he croaks. “You… You…”

“Who’s in charge here?” Shouto demands, voice sharp. “I need to speak with them immediately.”

The guard nods dumbly, scrambling over to the horse and taking a hold of its reins as Shouto hops off its back. “Chances are the main chambers,” he blabbers. Now that he’s up close, Shouto can easily smell the alcohol on his breath. “Somebody inside oughta show you the way.”

With a curt nod, Shouto sidesteps the drunken guard and stalks his way inside. Iron candelabras hang from the ceiling, thick white candles steadily burning away and illuminating the hallways. A duo of guards walking in his direction come to a sudden halt upon seeing him. Like the one outside, a look of surprise dawns upon their faces, yet they still fall to a singular knee, head bowed in clear respect.

“Your highness,” the one on the right says, “what a surprise. How may we be of service to you?”

“I need to speak to whoever’s in charge,” Shouto says simply. “I presume they’re in the main chamber?”

The same guard clears his throat. “Sorry to trouble you, your highness, but Sir Rengoku took off earlier this morning – said there was something of extreme importance that he must tend to.”

Muttering under his breath, Shouto presses a hand to the lower half of his face, heaving a great sigh as he drags it downward. “Is there anyone I can speak with?”

“Prince Shouto! What brings you here, your highness?” a new voice calls out.

Turning around, Shouto is met with another man; unlike the other guards, this man’s armor is built different, the iron plates bent into sharper, more intricate shapes. A set of wings are built into the shoulder pieces and the sides of the helmet, giving the suit a mystical appearance. A plume of bright red hangs from the crown of the helmet, swishing around much like one’s ponytail does. No, this isn’t a regular guard – this is a knight of Endeavor.

The knight tugs off his helmet, revealing a friendly face inlaid with dark red eyes and a burst of burgundy hair. A pair of earrings hanging from his lobes swing as he nods his head in greeting. “Allow me to introduce myself, your highness. I am Sir Tanjiro Kamado, a proud knight of Endeavor.”

Odd – why would a knight of such high status be positioned so far way from the capital?

Straightening his back and squaring his shoulders, Shouto perceives Tanjiro with a hard look. “We need to have a talk – immediately.”

Dinton Keep's dungeons, Ainamoryp, May 4th, 492, 05:23

At the first few rays of dawn, you begin to stir awake. For a moment, you wonder why you don’t feel the rock of your ship, but then the previous day’s events suddenly hit you. Ah, that’s right, you think, Endeavor got fucked over and I was put into a cell.

Off to the side, there’s slight murmuring. You recall the freckled boy you met yesterday – the healer, Izuku. What, has he resulted to conversing with himself like some sort of madman? Shifting onto your side, you crack your eyes open; immediately, you spot Izuku standing by the window, elbows propped on the sill. Although the light is still somewhat dim, you can spot the dark circles under his eyes, the sharp curve of his frown. Now that you think about it, he didn’t get any sleep last night, did he? You can’t say you blame him, either; he was present when Nialliv attacked and took over the city. Gods know the horrors he witnessed, the terrifying sounds of people screaming and helplessly being slaughtered.

“Did you find out anything?” Izuku whispers.

“No,” an unembodied voice says. It takes you aback – by the mere sound of its rasp, it’s obvious that Izuku isn’t speaking to himself. “Endeavor’s crawling with Nialliv guards, the royal grounds are bloody as hell, but that’s about it. I haven’t really seen any patrols in the surrounding farmlands, but that’s bound to change here directly. We oughta get going now before we miss our damn chance.”

“Izuku?” you drawl, voice heavily riddled with sleep. “What’s going on?”

Turning to you, Izuku flashes you a soft smile. “Good morning, Captain. We didn’t wake you up, did we?”

Shaking your head, you sit up and rub the tiredness away from your eyes. “I usually get up at dawn anyway,” you tell him.

“Oi, who the fuck is that?” that same, unfamiliar voice speaks. “Who are you talking to?”

Izuku throws an irritated look out the window. “Really, Kacchan? Do you really have to say it like that?”

“Answer the damn question, Deku.”

Izuku sighs. “It’s a pir-“ he stops, then, quickly glancing back to you. Clearly, he remembers the little outburst from yesterday and your reaction. Clearly his throat, he tries again. “A friend. She’s the captain of The Pearl Lady.”

“Kacchan” whistles, long and slow. “Gods, Deku, befriending pirates now, eh? Nice to see you finally have a backbone.”

Annoyance twinges your insides. Whoever this Kacchan is, he seems like an asshole. Scrambling onto your feet, you brush the stray pieces of hay off your clothes and stalk over to the window, taking your place next to Izuku. You forgot how tall he was, your head just barely coming up to his chest. Looking through the iron bars of the window, you’re finally met with this mysterious “Kacchan”; the first thing that catches your attention is the mop of wicked blonde hair, then the piercing red eyes training on your face. His expression is stern, nearly tiptoeing to the point of becoming angry, but he’s handsome, undeniably so. A large pair of clawed earrings stick out from either lobe, and numerous strands of beads hand from his thick neck. Whoever this guy is, you’ve never seen anyone dressed like this before.

Kacchan unashamedly scans his eyes over you, an eyebrow quirking up his forehead. “Captain, huh? Sure as hell don’t look like one to me.”

You scoff. “Excuse you, Kacchan. You look like you rolled out of a barn and mount donkeys for fun.”

His eyes narrow into slits. “What did you just say to me? Fucking brat, I’ll kill you!”

“Hey!” Izuku whisper-yells. “Keep it down! We can’t alert anyone!”

“Fine,” Kacchan spits. “I’ll deal with this bitch properly once you’re out.”

Your mouth opens, ready to rip him a new one, but then Izuku promptly yanks you away from the wall, slamming his large hands over your ears as the wall suddenly explodes. It’s not a large explosion, not in the slightest, but it’s enough to create a hole for you and Izuku to crawl out of. However, you’re guaranteed that somebody had to hear it.

Once the dust cleared away, your heart nearly stops beating within your chest. Kacchan didn’t come alone – no, he sits upon a dragon, a brilliant beast a fiery red, its glorious scales practically glowing in the early morning light. You blame your tiredness for not noticing it earlier.

“Well?” Kacchan says, looking unamused. “Are you going to stand there all day and gawk like an idiot or are you gonna get on?”

Immediately, Izuku crawls through the whole; turning around, he holds out a hand for you to take, a determined gleam in his eyes. “Well, Captain? Are you?”

For a moment, you hesitate. Here are these two men – two complete strangers – busting you out of prison, and for what? Normally, you’d tell them both to fuck off, but there’s something about the look in Izuku’s eyes that makes you think differently.

“I think it came from down there!” a distant voice shouts. Shit, it’s one of the guards!

Without another thought, you take Izuku’s hand and crawl through the wall. A gust of wind strikes your face once you’re outside. Glancing down, you notice how your cell was sitting at the edge of a cliff; the sea slaps at the jagged rocks, almost taunting you to take a fall. Your head feels oddly light, vision beginning to swim the longer you stare at the water. Squeezing your eyes tight, you feel Izuku pull you into his chest, the smoothness of the dragon’s scales as you land on its back.

“Alright, let’s blow this joint!” Kacchan exclaims, cackling wildly as the dragon takes off into the sky.

“Wait, wait, wait!” you shout.

The wind blasts your ears as you pick up speed, your clothes and hair flapping wildly. Kacchan only continues to laugh while you throw curse after curse at him, telling him to slow the fuck down before all of you get killed. Izuku’s chest rumbles as he chuckles, his thick arms tightening around your waist to keep you still.

Gods, you’re really flying on a dragon. They were meant to be creatures of legend, be told through tales of old and new. They’re the work of dreams and imagination, not reality. But no, here you are, zipping through the sky with nothing holding you back.

And by the grace of the gods, you want to be let down.

The outskirts of Levalon, Ainamoryp, May 4th, 492, 09:03

“I take it that you don’t get to travel very often?” Tanjiro speaks, tone light. Together, he and Shouto ride side by side on their horses; unlike Shouto’s beautiful ivory mare, his is a simple russet brown in color. It’s nothing to brag about, honestly, but his horse is strong.

Shouto hums in response. “Unfortunately, I’m afraid. My father often kept me busy with royal duties and studies. I hadn’t much of a chance to visit the surrounding villages.”

“Well, then hopefully you’re in for a treat!” Tanjiro chirps. “Levalon is nothing like Endeavor, but it’s a sizeable town! I’m positive you’ll like it.”

“You know,” Shouto says, glancing at Tanjiro from the corner of his eye, “you’re pretty optimistic for a knight. It reminds me of a great friend of mine.”

“I’m glad.”

Up ahead, the stone wall surrounding the town of Levalon comes into view. The bray of a donkey echoes as it passes through the archway carved into the wall, the wagon attached to its harness rumbling away over the pebbled path. It’s such a strange sight to see, this level of normality. There’s a group of kids playing tag in the grass, their carefree giggles carrying through the wind. As Shouto and Tanjiro draw even closer, the chattering coming straight from the market streets is already loud and frantic.

“It pains me to know that this town won’t be like this for much longer,” Shouto comments. Tanjiro remains silent; he knows Shouto is right, but it’s a hurtful thing to even think about.

As the two trek into town, they’re met with hustle and bustle of everyday life; people come and go from the market streets, either rough spin sacks over their shoulders or a wicker basket in their arms, children running down the street, a shaggy mutt following close behind, a hidden figure in a cloak snatching an unsuspecting person’s coin purse-

“Wait a second!” Tanjiro calls, hopping off his horse and hitting the ground with a metallic clank. The hooded person spares a single glance Tanjiro’s way before they take off at a breakneck speed in the opposite direction. Again, Tanjiro yells as he gives chase after him. Sighing, Shouto looks to Tanjiro’s horse; it stands where he left it, shaking its mane and looking around. Ah, so it’s devoted to its master – how lovely. Shouto respects the notion no matter the creature.

The horse whinnies as Tanjiro returns, face flushed and eyes wide. “Dammit, that thief is fast. No matter – I know where to find him.” Cocking his head, Shouto peers at the other inquisitively. Tanjiro merely grins, a finger reaching up and tapping the end of his nose. “Would you believe me if I told you that I have a good sense of smell?”

“I wouldn’t doubt it in the slightest,” Shouto replies.

Tanjiro’s smile grows, his eyes crinkling. “Thank you kindly, your highness-“ Immediately, his smile drops as his nose twitches; oddly, it reminds Shouto of a hound when it’s attuned to a kill, to the fresh scent of spilt blood. Tanjiro cranes his neck to the sky, his mouth falling lax. Following his line of sight, Shouto looks up, his own jaw dropping as well.

Amazingly enough, a dragon flies far overhead, its bright red belly twinkling in the morning light. Shouto’s heard tales of dragons ever since he was a young boy still feeding from the wet nurse, of how they conquered great lands, of how saved the lives of their worshippers. While it’s a common tale that dragons allegedly went extinct, it’s perfectly clear that they haven’t.

“By the gods,” Tanjiro mutters, voice full of wonder, “a real live dragon. Do you think it’s heading towards Dovahkiin?”

“There’s only one person I know who’s of Dovah descent,” Shouto grunts. “Why he’s here, I don’t know.”

“It wasn’t part of the attack on Endeavor, was it?”

“No. The fires weren’t caused by such a beast – they were created by monsters.”

Tanjiro hums. “Well… Wouldn’t you want to ask your friend for help? If you’re planning on taking back Dinton Keep-“

“I refuse to ask him for help,” Shouto interrupts, a scowl pulling at the corners of his mouth. “In fact, I’d rather not see him at all.”

In the skies, Ainamoryp, May 4th, 492, 09:10

Kacchan sneezes.

“Ugh,” he drawls, shaking his head. “Some idiot’s probably talking about me.”

“There’s not much to talk about,” you say offhandedly. Izuku snorts in amusement, but it quickly turns into a cough to cover it up.

Kacchan jabs a finger in your direction. “If it was up to me, I would’ve thrown you off a long time ago, sweetheart. Don’t press your fucking luck.”

After flying in the air for a few hours, you’ve grown used to the feeling of the dragon’s muscles flexing underneath you, the strong gusts of wind continuously hitting you in the face; however, you refuse to look at the trees and fields dotting the land below. You’ve also grown used to Izuku’s and Kacchan’s presence, although the latter is a bit too sour for your liking.

“Whatever you say, Kacchan,” you bluff. You actually wish that he won’t, but you also refuse to admit that as well.

“For fuck’s sake,” Kacchan hisses, “it’s Katsuki. Only that dumb Deku calls me Kacchan.”

Furrowing your brows, you look over your shoulder at Izuku. “Katsuki? Why didn’t you tell me that?”

Laughing awkwardly, Izuku scratches his cheek, an embarrassed flush blooming on his freckled face. “Well, like he said – I’m the really the only one who calls him that, and it’s been that way for years…”

Katsuki rolls his eyes. “Yeah. So.” Training his vivid eyes on you, he flashes you a sneer. “You’re a pirate, right? How the fuck did that even happen?”

“That’s Captain to you, boom boy. Ever hear of The Pearl Lady? Yeah, that’s mine. And, if you don’t watch your tone, then I’ll happily show you a close up of what a cannon looks like when it’s going off.”

Katsuki laughs, then, a wicked smile curving his lips. “You’re a feisty one, I’ll give you that. I like ‘em feisty.”

You scoff. “Damn hog,” you grunt. As much as you’d like to curse him out, he’s similar to Izuku when it comes to size. Katuski is tall – even more so than Izuku, you reckon – and he’s huge, a singular bicep almost the size of your head. He could easily toss you off the side of the dragon if he truly wanted to.

“We should take a rest stop,” Izuku offers. “Plus, we need to figure out a way to get in touch with Shouto-“

An animalistic growl rumbles in Katsuki’s throat at the name; he snarls at Izuku, even lashes his teeth.

“Gods,” you start, eyes going wide, “what the actual fuckis wrong with you?”

“I won’t do anything with that icy piece of shit,” Katsuki snarls. “How do ya even know he’s alive, huh?”

“There wasn’t a body,” Izuku presses, expression going dark. “Besides, I’d think they would’ve bragged more if they killed both the king and prince in one foul swoop.”

The prince? Like the prince of Ainamoryp? Gods, if he truly is missing-

“That’s our only chance, isn’t it,” you say, voice flat. “If Ainamoryp is to stay alive, the prince is needed to take the throne.”

“Yeah,” Izuku tells you, “that’s exactly it.”

You inhale sharply.

“Doesn’t matter to me,” Katsuki spits. “I’m not even from this damned country. It’s not business whether it burns to hell or not.” With a shrug, he crosses his thick arms over his chest.

Anger roars in the pit of your belly, climbs up your insides and encases your heart. How dare he say such a thing, especially to yourface? You’ve crossed the seas, visited the lands, but this is your home. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, but you had to do something. Shooting forward, you grab onto the straps of Katsuki’s cape, snarling as you lean in close.

“Born here or not, you don’t get to say anything, you bastard. Lives were taken for no damn reason, and I wasn’t even able to walk around my own hometown without being thrown into a cell. If you hate Ainamoryp so much, kindly drop me the fuck off and get bent.”

Katsuki’s eyes are large as you push away from him, settling back in your spot before Izuku. Surprisingly, neither say a word; instead, Katsuki turns around, shuffles up the dragon’s neck, and takes the reins in hand. With a simple yank, the dragon is making a sharp turn, heading back towards the town you previously flew over.

“If you want to find that stupid prince,” Katsuki shoots over his shoulder, “Levalon’s the best chance you got.”

======

Time for the first choice in this "pick your own adventure" piece! Will you stay behind with Katsuki or go into Levalon with Izuku? Voting closes on June 6, 2021.

Nami’s backstory (abridged) 

[kara-querl]

Karadox in the Silver Age Part 1

Please. . .please. . .Don't hate me . . .!

Return to Directory

Issue: Action Comics #276 Date: May 1961 Writers: Jerry Siegel Pencils: Jim Mooney Inker: Jim Mooney   Available in:  Legion of Super-Heroes the Silver Age Vol. 1 Legion of Super-Heroes the Silver Ave Omnibus Vol. 1

So in the poll adorable #silverage (1956-1970) #karadox beat out bronze so I am going to go back to the beginning and show you how it all began. to stat off how about the first ever panel in which Brainy appeared (ignoring later retcons)

The day starts out with poor Kara in her Linda Lee disguise at the orphanage where Kal El dumped her being depressed about not having friends. (This was even before she was adopted by the Danvers) For all her superpowers Kara was still a teen longing for approval and belonging.

Where is Lena? Well it would be another year and a half before they met and still Lena really only knew Linda and Supergirl as separate people. Most of her 20th century friends were either Linda or Supergirl's friends while the legion knew a truly integrated version of Kara.

Now as backstory long long before Kara befriended Lena, Brainy, Mon EL or J'onn Saturn Girl had invited her to join the legion and even though she failed on a technicality they had become friends. This is a lot of what angered me about her treatment last season.

(Panel is from  Action Comics #267, Reprinted in Action Comics #334 and  Adventure Comics #492) So while Kara/Linda is feeling lonely Saturn Girl (Imra) arrives and hears her thoughts. So she decides to meet her in disguise? and how does Kara not recognize the costume?

Note the use of jet packs as Brainy has not yet joined the team or invented the flight rings.

Then Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl (Kal El's future girlfriend he had a lot of girlfriends in the 60s) appear to offer their friendship to Kara. It seems she has more friends than she thought.

They then all pile in the time bubble so Kara does not risk exposure to Red Kryptonite again (which got her disqualified previously) We will find out later that the time bubble is one of Brainiac 5's inventions while working at the Time Institute before joining the Legion.

Much later in the Bronze Age (Secrets of the Legion of Super-Heroes 1981) we learn that from the Legion's point of view Kara actually joined first before Superboy, but I do not thing that was the original intent.

This would then set up the reveal that Brainiac 5 did not invent time travel to retrieve Superboy for RJ Brande but to meet Supergirl and possibly prolong her life. (Legion of Super-Heroes #16)

But I digress. When the girls reach the future they are greated by Cosmic Boy and Lightning Lad who also became friends with Kara on her first attempt to join the Legion. They invite her to try out for the legion again and introduce her to some of the other contestants.

Which brings up back to: "As a handsome, green-skinned youth approaches the club table. . ." Kara has this feeling she has seen him somewhere before. . .

Look at his scared face as he reveals his heritage.

This would be echoed years later in the JLU episode "Far From Home" with the line:

"Just because he is SERIOUSLY CUTE does not mean we should trust a Brainiac" ~Supergirl

"I understand your loathing for the fiend who was my ancestor! But please. . .please. . .Don't hate me . . .!" ~Brainy 

Seeing Supergirl is not quite convinced he continues to plead his case. Kara for her part keeps urging him to talk so she can stare longingly into his eyes. So this leads to Querl spilling way more information about the future than he should to Kara.

Still she doubts him. He has his work cut out for him but at least she is looking his way.

Later when Laurel Gand took over Kara's history this origin is retold with some slight differences. (Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 4 #9)

Next come the actual tryouts where each candidate must display a talent no other legionnaire possesses. Kara goes for super digging and brings back a collection of long lost historical treasures. Brainy is enthralled with her every movement.

This also would later be retold for Laurel Gand, 

Supergirl Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade 

and when Kara finally returned after her 20 year banishment. (Supergirl Annual #2)

Suddenly up runs handsome Querl with his belt in his hand begging Kara to let him put it on her. This is rather forward for having just met and being a girl from 1961 but Kara rolls with it... no sooner does she put it on when a kryptonite meteor hurls towards them!!! 

This is the first time we ever see Brainy's force shield belt and it is Kara who is using it. She quickly understands she is protected and proceeds to save Querl from being crushed by smashing the kryptonite to pieces. This trust and teamwork is really the heart of #karadox

Brainy doesn't need to explain how the belt works he trusts she is smart enough to not only figure out what it does but know how he intended her to use it. 

While Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy load the bits of kryptonite into the back of a Chevy El Camino, Kara has plenty of time to ask why Brainy would take such a risk to his own life. "I'm no villian, although my ancestor was! I'd gladly sacrifice my life to save your, any time!" ~ Brainy

This line, along with another you will hear in a minute was uttered by Brainy while he lay unconscious in Supergirl Annual #2 (2010) (Because @sterlinggates is a master, a scholar and an epic Supergirl stan. Go buy this issue now!)

As the El Camino speeds away full of kryptonite (100% sure that OSHA would not be ok with this) We get the first hint that Kara is coming around. "He's sweet" She tries to return the belt but Brainy makes it a gift... What happens to it... We will get to that.

I think you can guess who the 2 new Legionnaire's end up being. #karadox Don't worry though Shrinking Violet, Sun Boy and Bouncing Boy all make it in eventually.

But soon Querl, in possibly his most forward romantic overture ever, gathers up his courage and asks her to stay and be his girl. But Kara's duty to Kal El is absolute it is the same devotion to her cousin that would eventually lead to her sacrificing her own life but that is years away and it is her sense of duty that truly gives her her strength. Don't worry though they will be seeing more of each other soon.

Her super-girlfriends take her home via time bubble, but soon Kara begins to contemplate the true ramifications of Brainiac 5's present.

(Everyone is starting to see now the true ramifications of stripping Brainy of his invention of the force shield belt. Without it he would not have won Kara's heart. I am sure they can write a new story but it is a large part of theirs missing. #thebeltisbrainys)

So she calls up her mer friends to see if they can help her test the belt. Now Jerro the Merboy is a total Supergirl stalker. Hence hanging out by her giant portrait in the art gallery. Now that Brainy is in the picture he begins to fade away until he finally gives up pursuit. But that will be in the next chapter.

Eventually after a few more adventures she uses up all the battery in her belt and returns to the orphanage.

But now she knows that she not only has 3 (5 if you count Lournu's duplicates) Super Girlfriends and 2 Super Boyfriends.

Next chapter: Supergirl’s Coming Out Party
