Stay With the High Lord

"Stay with the High Lord, human, and live to see everything righted."

Feylin Week 2024, Day 4: Beauty and the Beast

@feylinweek

Don't ask me why, but this is the first thing I thought of when I saw this prompt. Disney's Beauty and the Beast is one of my all-time favorite movies, and when reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, I couldn't help but wonder how much inspiration SJM took from the animated classic.

Really, Lady Midnight, I can hear you say, you didn't think of the romantic ballroom scene, or the transformation scene at the end? You thought of this scene? This one, for the most romantic prompt on the list? Really??? And the answer is, yes. Yes, I did. 😅 But he isn't even in his beast form in this scene in the book--Sh sh shshshs.

Don't ask. Just enjoy. That is all. ❤️

I am the artist. Please do not repost.

as you walked towards eichi's office, the fact that you might be in trouble didn't help at all with calming your nerves. you weren't gonna get scolded for suddenly interfering with a unit, right...? you were just helping family. perfectly fine, right? it's not your fault that a photographer got sick on knights so suddenly either so you're fine! truly, certainly fine... right?

and with that, you started to overthink... more.

you're great! well, at least you think you are. and really, not to toot your own horn but you're, in the words of wataru, "amazing~!" ensemble square is lucky to have the chance to work with a person such as yourself!

eichi wouldn't punish you for doing your job... even though there were no contracts involved which you would probably have to deal with later on— but he definitely won't punish you! he knows that you're a valuable asset. you know this too so surely he merely wants to chat? catch up with an old buddy after you had to be away for so long in another country? what else would it be? the emperor had summoned you to his OFFICE, for goodness' sake— it's really either you get killed or get freshly brewed tea.

...you really hope it's the latter.

speaking of the devil— well, leader of heaven (ironically), in this case— eichi opens the door just when you were about to knock, causing you to stiffen up, "oh, [name]! come on in~" he smiled, face angelic and warm as always— making you hope even more so that it won't become the face you'll last see when you die.

sitting down quietly at his request, you greeted him as he sets down a teapot in front of you.

"would you like some tea?" internally sighed in relief.

you nod, "yes please."

"excuse me...?" you suppress a cough, trying not to spit out what remained of your tea. you repeat your question, asking eichi to repeat his'.

"you haven't worked with your cousin in a while, am I wrong? well, up until the whole unplanned knights shoot request, that is." the blonde repeats, a calm smile resting on his face despite seeing you almost choke. what an asshole.

you shake your head "no" as a reply, knowing full well how unprofessional it is to answer in such a way but at the same time, you really REALLY didn't trust yourself to speak right now. besides, you aren't professional with eichi (who's somehow your friend) to begin with.

"so why not work with him, and knights in it's entirety, officially? just for two months. unless you deem working with them— and new dimension, I might add— worth your time, then we can see for a longer time period in the contract."

"why me, exactly?" eichi looks at you, comical question marks visibly popping up on top of his head. "I thought that you might've just wanted to scold me for volunteering to help a shoot unannounced but you're offering me a job? like, I already have a contract signed here in es so you offering is... weird...er? than anything you've ever gotten me into."

the blonde sets his tea down, a knowing smile on his face replacing his usually calm one, seeming as if he's been waiting for you to ask. "I figured you might say that so I prepared quite a handful of reasons!" he chirped.

"you're an award winning photographer that's worked with most of the idols outside and within ES. you're connected to a lot of publishing papers too which would be good for me if there were any trouble... or scandals— oh! and! you're my friend! of course I want you on the team! plus—"

"plus...?"

"—a certain sakuma happened to have told me an interesting tidbit about you recently." you felt your stomach drop.

oh.

oh no.

the president looks at you, expectant, making you sigh in resignation— having already known what eichi unfortunately does now too. you'd be lying if the offer didn't sound enticing at the very least, so it wouldn't hurt to accept... no?

"fine, sure, I'm in."

you were definitely going out for ritsu's throat later.

SYPNOSIS— Photographers are known to have quite the eye when it comes to beautiful sights— being naturally drawn to every opportunity of catching good visuals on their camera. [name], a famed photographer that is currently affiliated with Ensemble Square, is no exception. Truly it's no wonder that they fell for the prettiest sight of them all; Tsukasa Suou, leader of Knights.

last line tag

tagged by @fortunatetragedy! tyty!

i can't post my actual last written line because it would spoil the ending to my current fic, so instead i'm going to post the last thing i rewrote on the draft-i-swore-i-wasn't-going-to-touch-and-should-probably-not-be-sharing-due-to-reasons:

“This was inside of the creature,” I say. “I think it’s the same bird Catalina gutted, though I’m not sure how it could even get there.” Justicia looks away, crosses herself, then turns back to it. Like a curious child wanting to poke an animal corpse. “Christ.” “I don’t think it’s dead.” The statement hangs heavy between us. “And with any luck, I don’t think it’s attached to anyone anymore. I used to think it hibernated, maybe that’s what it does.” I fold up the remains and hide them away again. “Unless you can find a way to send it back. If there’s any point to it.”

gonna tag @kairahara, @valenshawke, @wrencatte, and any other writer moots who wish to do so! (i feel like i've tagged enough folks already and i don't want to spam!!!)

How is it that the site can ban one of their own artists for undisclosed reasons and not ban actual bot accounts, created to cheat? That's some double standard if I've ever seen one.

So Hemlock's reaction is, naturally - "Look at these clones I've captured. I'm just gonna be right over here torturing them for a while. Leave me alone and deal with the problems yourselves, you incompetent peasants, I'm busy."

Hemlock’s day really went

“Sir, the specimens children are missing!”

“SIR, the zillo beast is loose!”

“SIR, TARKIN IS ON👏THE👏LINE👏”

“S I R, THE CENTRAL LAB HAS BEEN DESTROYED!”

“S I R-”
