Chapter 9: Priestess

An ongoing ProHero Hitoshi x F!OC fanfic.

Takara swallowed, meeting her former lovers eyes. "I would have loved you if you didn't worship Her at all." A traitorous tear slipped from Takara's eye and she rubbed it away with the back of her hand. "My love for you didn't contradict anything. It only added to the love I had for everything else. Love isn't contradictory, it can't be. It's only contrasting."

The Gargoyle had once again left before she woke but neglected to leave the provisions he'd initially offered. Takara had slept deep, and slept in late. She'd found a second scrap of paper with his number written in a hasty hand, this time underlined twice. The sun was high in the sky before she stirred. The week had been stressful and kept her busy, and Kiyoko had been a considerable part of that. They were preparing for a local alternative festival set to begin the next day.

Takara wasn't convinced they were going to sell out of the tea mixes and tinctures and Kiyoko had insisted on preparing, but Kiyoko hadn't been deterred. She's seemed uninterested in taking her granddaughters business advice and had continued making, weighing, bagging, and labelling the bags with Takara's assistance.

"Grandma," Takara had laughed as she looked online postings. "are you sure this is the right market?" Yes, there would be some fringe shops like Kiyoko's, but overall the shops ranged from an ecofriendly focus to traditional longsword crafting. There were a few presenters included throughout the two day event. One name caught her eye, her eyes widening as she re-read it in hopes she was initially mistaken. "I can't go to this." Kiyoko had furrowed her brow, demanding to see what Takara was looking at. "Tao will be there."

Kiyoko nodded, considering her granddaughter. "I haven't seen them in two years. And while they're giving a lecture?" Takara shook her head at the name on the screen.

Guest lecturer: Tao Mei. Melding science and spirituality, for the skeptic.

Despite the fact that Takara and Tao hadn't left on the best of terms, she was happy to see her former partner blossoming. Kiyoko poked her side, her eyes looking at Takara intensely. Takara understood immediately - Kiyoko needed the help. Her grandparents had signed up for this months ago and it was too late to cancel. "Fine." Takara grumbled, applying a label to the bag her grandmother handed her.

"According to Aizawa it's written Ruq." Denki explained, holding a copy of the paper that had been dropped at the scene. Someone had snuck into an industrial castor oil producer likely trying to get their hands on the poisonous beans. "I don't know where we'd find anyone who could read it. I have some people asking around, but it's very niche."

"We don't have a translator for it?" Hitoshi looked over the runic writing on the paper. He briefly considered whether it could be a cipher, but if Aizawa had recognized it...

"No, they're kind of a cult. Super secret." Denki lowered his voice as if to emphasize that it was, in fact, a secret. Hitoshi thought to the woman he'd woken up next to- she didn't seem secretive to him at all. "I have someone who may be able to help." Hitoshi offered, standing from the table. "Can I take this?" Hitoshi asked, beginning to fold the paper to place in his pocket.

"Why don't you just call them? Snap a picture?" Hitoshi looked up at the blonde man, briefly questioning his friends ability to keep anything secret.

"You want me to make evidence publicly available?" Denki seemed to reconsider the option he'd offered as Hitoshi felt his phone buzz in his pocket. An unknown number had sent him a photo of a black cat, engaged in a furious battle with a strip of fabric. Takara. He smiled.

"No, I guess you're right. I didn't think of that." The blonde admitted, his eyes widening as they noticed the small smile on Hitoshi's face. "What's got you grinning?" Denki questioned, looking towards Hitoshi's phone with a curious look. Hitoshi shoved the device in his pocket before the blonde could get a good look. "Nothing. I'll be back."

"Oh no, you're not going alone. I wanna meet your super secret language informant." Denki smirked at the purple haired hero who levelled him with a glare. "No." The word was firmer than he anticipated as he kept his eyes trained on his friend. The last thing he needed was Denki knowing about his entanglement with Takara. The man couldn't keep quiet if his life depended on it.

Denki met his glare, tilting his head. "Whatcha hiding, 'Toshi?" A grin spread across the blondes face as he wiggled his eyebrows. "This person a new friend of yours?" Hitoshi continued glaring at the man, not moving from where he'd stopped. "I'm coming with you. It's a patrol." Denki all but skipped to the door, holding it open for the man.

The door harp chimed and Takara quickly shoved the bag she'd labelled off to the side. Her eyes met Hitoshi's, then shortly after she was met with Denki's.

"Witch girl?" Denki exclaimed louder than he'd meant to, Hitoshi once again glaring at the man. Takara looked confused by the exclamation. "Have you been hooking up with witch girl?" Denki whispered, unmoved by the glare he was receiving or by Takara's confusion.

"I have a name, remember?" Takara called over, confused at the whispering pair. "Are you back for another look at the greenhouse?"

"Can you shut up and act like a professional for a minute?" Hitoshi whispered back as they approached the counter. "Any chance you can translate this for me?" Hitoshi slid the paper towards Takara who pulled it closer for a better look. Her head tilted as she looked it over.

Denki examined the woman. She had high cheekbones and sharp eyes, scrutinizing the paper with a furrowed brow. Her lips lips were thin but painted an enticing red color which contrasted the long sleeved black shirt she wore. As far as a cult member went, she was prettier than what his mind had conjured.

"No." Takara said after a moment, sliding the paper back to Hitoshi. "Sorry, it's not-"

"I was told it was written Ruq." Denki offered unhelpfully. Takara turned her attention to him, the golden flecks in her eyes contrasting the light brown, reminding him of milk chocolate and toffee. "You were misinformed. This is an offshoot language from Ruq. Mostly the same letters but this is completely illegible to me." Kiyoko had appeared beside the woman, slowly pulling the paper off the counter so she could get a better look at the object of interest.

Kiyoko looked it over, her eyes going right to left in rapid movements. Then she looked up at Takara, who made a point not to catch her eyes. "Do you know someone who could translate it?" Hitoshi asked, his eyes softening as they met Takara's.

"A priest or priestess of Nagati. Anyone short of that ranking won't translate it for you. The language is a little guarded under their beliefs." Takara ignored the poke in her side, still avoiding her grandmothers eyes. Oh no, she was not going to see-

"Where can we start looking for one?" Denki questioned, scratching the back of his head. Takara reached under the counter, grabbing a flyer for the next days event. "Try there tomorrow." She offered with a shrug. "Maybe you'll get lucky-" Takara felt something hit her side with an unexpected force, shocking her mid-sentence. Looking down she saw Kiyoko, glaring up at her as she held her slipper in her hand. "What are you-" Kiyoko hit her thigh this time, pulling a small yelp from the woman. She looked towards Hitoshi who's eyebrows has raised at Kiyoko's sudden move. "Any chance you can-" Another hit cut off her plea as Kiyoko levelled the slipper to Hitoshi, the warning clear. She wasn't afraid to hit him either if need be. Hitoshi raised his hand in surrender, an amused smile on his face as he did so.

"I am NOT going to see them!" Switching her language so that Hitoshi couldn't understand her, she addressed the short fury before her as Kiyoko turned the sandal back towards her granddaughter. "I don't want to, can you stop-" Kiyoko hit her in the thigh twice, continuing to glare as she raised the sandal again in warning. Hitoshi turned towards Denki with a shrug, unsure of how to help the situation.

"Stop, stop!" Takara held up her hands to the woman before turning back to the heroes behind the counter. "Where was this found? How important is this?" Kiyoko turned towards the two in assessment, and Denki found the older woman's eyes were as sharp as her granddaughters.

"Someone broke into a producer of castor oi-" The sound of foam hitting skin filled the shop as Kiyoko continued her attack on Takara, cutting off Denki's explanation.

"Fine, fine, I hope you have a hundred customers and they all want to chat!" Takara spat at the woman as she retreated upstairs to grab her bag. "I hope every single one of them has a long, tragic story and they need your help and you can't explain anything! I hope Ash attacks them and you can't explain that he's not a baby panther!" She continued her insults as she descended the stairs again. Hitoshi looked towards the older woman who smiled at him, despite the angry tone Takara's voice held. "I hope you weren't hoping for a nap because you aren't getting one today!"

Takara approached the door, holding it open as the door harp sounded. "Come with me." Takara's voice had calmed suddenly as she addressed the pair. Denki hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should turn his back on the sandal yielding woman who smiled warmly at him. He exited the shop backwards as Hitoshi trailed after them. "Thank-you." He called to Kiyoko over his shoulder, who waved him off as she returned to bagging the blend of herbs.

"Don't thank her." Takara chastised him, gently slapping his shoulder. Denki made a mental note about the casual interaction, already taking stock of what was going on between the pair. He had a lot of questions for Hitoshi later. "It's a bit of a walk." Takara warned, as if trying to discourage the pair of following through on their request.

"We'll call it a patrol!" Denki exclaimed. "Don't be afraid - if any hero business actually pops up you'll be well guarded." Denki levelled Takara with a warm, flirty grin. Partially because she was pretty. Partially because he wanted to get a rise from Hitoshi.

"I've never felt so safe." Takara deadpanned, an unamused look on her face as she examined Denki. The trio had begun walking with Takara being kept between them. "So, you didn't mention you spoke Ruq when we first met." Denki quickly recovered from the woman's dismissal, a coy grin on his face. "Yet Hitoshi seemed to know you would help us translate it." Takara turned, raising her eyebrow at the purple haired hero next to her.

"Oh, did I not mention that when I first met you? So how did you know, 'Toshi?" She teased the man, crossing her arms without breaking her stride. Hitoshi closed his eyes in frustration. "Oh so you both are on a first name basis!" Denki exclaimed much too loudly for Hitoshi's liking. This was going to be a long walk.

The building was oddly nondescript, a grey concrete square with a few floors existing on the corner of a busier intersection. The trio had been walking for about 40 minutes and luckily they hadn't encountered any trouble during that time. The windows of the building were unadorned with little movement inside. The entrance was unmarked and barren except for an intercom which did not have any labels to help Denki or Hitoshi determine what the place was. Takara pushed the grey button, eliciting a buzz from the electrical box.

"Hello?" A robotic voice came through the intercom after a moment, crackling as it did so. Denki and Hitoshi stood behind her as Takara began speaking, pressing the button down. "Hi, hello! I um...I'm looking for Tao Mei." Takara released the button she held, allowing the person on the other end to speak.

"Do you have an appointment?" The disembodied voice questioned. Takara grimaced, turning to look over her shoulder at the pair behind her. "No, I didn't know she uh....well I didn't know she was busy. But it's important." There was silence on the other end as Takara released the button, waiting for a moment before pressing it again. "Listen. Can you just uh..." Her voice trailed off, her hand not leaving the button as she did so. "Tell her it's Takara. Takara Mesothine." Hitoshi and Denki shared a look at the unfamiliar surname as Takara released the button. She ran her nails along the back of her knuckles in a nervous gesture as the intercom remained silent for a few moments. Takara bit her lip - maybe the woman wouldn't want to see her after all.

"Please go to the third floor, second door on your right." A buzz unlocked the door, Takara letting out a shaky breath as it did so. She held the door open for the two men. "So this is a if-you-know-you-know kinda place, huh?" Denki whispered as they took the staircase up.

"It's a lot of things depending on the floor." Takara clarified as they continued their ascent, the concrete steps as non-descript as the exterior of the building. "Community outreach, worship, a place where parties can be held."

"Why is there a priestess here?" Hitoshi questioned, finding the idea odd as they continued upwards. "This is as close to a temple as you'll find for this sect." It wasn't a full explanation, but enough that Hitoshi nodded in understanding. "So please be respectful." She added, looking over her shoulder at Denki.

"I'm nothing if not respectful-" The sentence was cut-off as they exited the stairwell and emerged into a hallway. As non-descript as the exterior of the building was, the interior was decorated and adorned. The walls had been painted an intensely deep and rich red color, contrasting the dark granite flooring that shone under their feet. The light was warm, bright, and recessed into the ceiling so that it almost blended in. The ceiling itself was painted the same color as the walls, which made the space feel like a tunnel.

Paintings adorned the dark walls, lit as though the space was an artist showing- Hitoshi glanced at one in particular which depicted a blonde woman, her formerly white dress stained with blood as it trailed down her body, pooling at her feet. The blood even stained her hair, turning the strands that rested near her shoulders red. The face wasn't fully rendered, as though the woman's features either were impossible to capture or the defining details were not important. The reflection in the pool showed a dark entity, it's face and shape impossible to describe. It was almost otherworldly. "What the fu-" Hitoshi elbowed the blonde man next to him, cutting off the rude comment before it could fully form.

"A depiction of the awakening - Nagati's ascension in an impressionist style." The voice was warm and powerful as smoke pooled at their feet. Denki immediately jumped away, trying to get out of the smoke's path as it began swirling upwards, condensing into a humanoid shape as it did so. Hitoshi took a step back as he reached for his capture weapon, unsure of what to expect. Takara stood a few feet away, her eyes briefly meeting Hitoshi's. They looked apologetic. "Carving herself from the heart of the beast, in doing so both killing and becoming it."

The smoke that had spoken thickened, and before the two stood a tall, pale woman, her back to Takara. She stood a head above Hitoshi and despite her height remained remarkably thin, her collar bones prominent as she surveyed the painting beside her with a look of pride. Her long, dark hair highly contrasted her skin, like a wet ink drop placed onto a fresh page of paper. She dressed in all black, the skintight pants contrasting the lacy top she sported, a dark binding crossing over her chest to give her some modesty. Her dark eyes filled with amusement as she surveyed the shocked pair before a frown crossed her face. "I was told-"

"Tao." The dark eyed woman turned, shock crossing her face as she took in Takara. "Takara." The woman took an almost involuntary step towards the red head, leaving a light trail of smoke in her wake as she did so. The dark haired woman dropped to her knees, seemingly forgetting the heroes presence as she did so.

"I'm sorry." Takara looked down at her former lover in shock at the movement. "Tao, I-" The dark woman continued speaking. "I had no right to ask of you what I did. I'd do anything to take it back. To not be a fool and squander all we had built."

"Tao, this-this isn't the time." Takara sighed. "I'm here with them, they need-"

"They will get whatever it is you desire I give them, once you hear me out. This I swear." Tao declared, not rising from her kneeling position. "I care not if they witness this. My shame deserves to be known." The dark haired woman looked over her shoulder at the pair, her face not reflecting any shame. They were cold, distant as she steeled herself for the coming conversation. Takara opened her mouth and closed it, briefly meeting Hitoshi's questioning eyes as she turned her attention back to the kneeling woman. "Okay. Fine. I'm listening." Takara conceded, nodding as she did so.

"Asking you to abandon your worship in favor of mine...." Tao's eyes met the floor in shame, taking a shaky breath before she continued. "I was scared. Becoming a priestess meant everything to me - means everything to me. I thought holding both my love for you and for Her....that the two would clash. That I had to choose." Tears began falling from the woman's eyes, coming out a thick, inky substance that trailed down her pale face. "I didn't want to choose. I wanted you to share my love-"

"I did. I do." Takara's voice was harsh as she uncrossed her arms, shaking her head as she tried to find the words she was looking for. She took a deep breath before meeting Tao's eyes again. "What you wanted was for me to ignore all other iterations of the Goddess. You knew who I was when we fell in love- You knew I wouldn't abandon Her in all Her forms to favor one. But you gave me an ultimatum anyway."

"Is this a tame cat fight?" Denki whispered as he nudged Hitoshi, the pair being ignored by the two women as they spoke. Hitoshi didn't respond, letting the conversation continue uninterrupted as he shot the man a cold glare. He hadn't expected this - Takara hadn't mentioned any romantic entanglement with the person they would be meeting during their walk here. Hitoshi suppressed the questions he had, making a mental list for Takara later.

"I know now that there was always room in my heart for you both. That my loves could be contradictory and my devotion still unwavering." Tao looked down at the floor almost shamefully, apologetically, unable to meet Takara's eyes.

"You still don't get it!" Takara's voice reflected the frustration she exuded, her teeth clenching as she took a step forward. "I look at it as you favoring a piece of a puzzle. I never thought less of you for not seeing all her faces - for favoring a beautiful corner over the whole picture. I never cared that our love for Her wasn't exactly the same." Takara swallowed, meeting her former lovers eyes. "I would have loved you if you didn't worship Her at all." A traitorous tear slipped from Takara's eye and she rubbed it away with the back of her hand, the words tearing at Tao's heart. "My love for you didn't contradict anything. It only added to the love I had for everything else. Love isn't contradictory, it can't be. It's only contrasting."

Tao had gone silent, watching Takara as she took in the painting that Hitoshi had been admiring. "You're such a good fucking artist." Takara laughed, another tear falling from her eyes as she did so. Tao stood from her kneeling position, closing the distance between her and Takara to stand beside her, surveying the painting alongside her with clasped hands. "The shadows, the contrast to the dress, the short brush strokes - You're so talented." Takara wiped the tear on the back of her hand again before Tao pulled her into a hug, her arms moving slowly as if unsure that Takara would accept it. Takara wrapped her arms around the woman's waist, burying herself in her shoulder.

Denki shuffled uncomfortably, knowing he and Hitoshi were intruding on an intimate moment. Hitoshi watched intently with his brow furrowed. No wonder she didn't want to bring them here and had only done so when threatened by Kiyoko.

"I cannot undo what was done. I cannot take back the horrid words. Even if I am no longer your love, I hope to mend this bridge that I so callously burned." The dark woman placed a kiss on top of Takara's head, prompting a fleeting feeling of jealousy in Hitoshi's stomach. "I miss the light you added to my days." She placed her head atop Takara's, her eyes closed, grateful to be holding Takara again. Hitoshi knew she was breathing in strawberries, the bubble of jealousy growing as the realization sank in.

"I-I don't know right now. You've given me a lot to think about." Takara pulled back as she wiped both her eyes with her palms. Her mascara smeared across her hands as she did so, the dark color transferring to her palms.

"I'll be giving a lecture tomorrow." The woman held out her hand, more smoke condensing into a golden envelope that she held out to Takara. "I know, grandma is running a booth there tomorrow. I'll be helping out." Takara took the envelope regardless, stuffing it into her pocket.

"I heard of Aoto's passing." Takara's eyes snapped up to the woman who looked at her with pity. "His liking has been placed at Nagati's altar for three weeks. He was not alone." Tao smiled gently at Takara, placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort. "You painted him?" Takara smiled wide at that, blinking back tears.

"Of course." Tao assured her, her smile revealing the perfectly white teeth she possessed. "I would trust no one else to do so. It was the least I could offer."

"Thank-you." The pair gazed at each other for a moment before Denki cleared his throat, causing both pairs of eyes to snap to him. Takara blushed lightly and looked away while Tao held his gaze. "So, uh....This translation business." Hitoshi closed his eyes at the poor timing of his partner, but Tao did not seem phased by it.

"My sect has always tried to work closely with the peacekeepers of the realm, even when they looked upon us as untrustworthy." Tao turned towards the pair, her hand not leaving Takara's shoulder as it did so. "Any way we can assist, you will have our help."

"We found this-" Hitoshi pulled the copy of the evidence from his pocket. Tao held out a hand, smoke curling around the letter and bringing it to her to look over. The smoke had felt warm where it had touched Hitoshi's hand. "At a crimescene. We'd like to know what it says."

"That's such a useful quirk." Denki whispered, watching the smoke recede with the letter. "Why didn't you become a hero?" He questioned as his eyes tracked the smoke back to the tall, pale woman.

"There are many ways to be a hero that go beyond the title you wear." Tao's eyes scanned the page, her face remaining neutral. "This will not translate cleanly. It will require context to fully understand. I can provide that, or..." Her voice trailed off as she turned towards Takara. "Once translated, Takara has all the knowledge to help you fully understand this. Whatever is favorable to you-"

"I'll help them." Takara assured her with a small smile. "It sounds like you're taking appointments now. You must be busy-"

"No workload would prevent me from assisting you." Tao cut her off, opening the door to her office as she turned away from the trio. "I will return. Please, help yourself to whatever you like." Tao gestured towards the end of the hallway, the door closing softly behind her.

"Well well well, no wonder you didn't want to bring us here. Your ex, huh?" Takara wiped at her eyes, trying to remove the smudged mascara without being able to see it. "Yeah. I wasn't sure if I was ready for this." Takara turned and started to walk towards where Tao had gestured, the pair trailing behind her down the red hallway as she did so.

"She's hot, is there any chance-" Denki was cut off, shocked by the small waiting room they emerged into. A fridge was in the corner with plush, red lounging chairs contrasting the soft white carpet that lay beneath them. Takara opened the fridge and retrieved a juice, gesturing for the men to do the same.

"If she has grown to like men, that would be news to me. But you're welcome to try. That could be fun to watch." Takara's smile didn't quite reach her eyes as she sat on the couch, twisting the cap on the pineapple juice as she did so.

"Nah, it seems like she has her eyes on you." Denki conceded, grabbing a bottle of water. Takara shrugged as she took a sip of the sweet nectar. "That's also news to me." Takara admitted, a slight blush painting her cheeks as she did so.

Hitoshi had remained silent, not wanting to have this conversation in front of Denki. He wasn't sure if Tao would meet the someone wanting something requirement that Takara had cited earlier. But Takara had seemed hesitant. He suppressed the jealousy he felt, keeping his emotions in line with the expectations he had set out for her. For himself.

"Here." Hitoshi turned in time to watch the smoke morph into flesh, a page held folded in Tao's hand as she did so. It was perched on top of a small red book. "The book will provide context, should Takara be burdened with responsibility."

"Thank-you." Takara said and Tao bowed to her former lover. "If either of you should require any further assistance, please." She held her hand up once again, two business cards appearing from the smoke that she offered to Hitoshi to take. "You can contact me directly." Her eyes looked away to meet Takara's, the dark orbs softening as she did so. "My contact information remains unchanged. I would be elated to hear from you."

"I-Thank-you. I'll keep that in mind. And I'll be there tomorrow." Hitoshi watched the joy appear in Tao's eyes as she gave on firm nod. "Feel free to rest here as long as you need. I unfortunately do have business that requires my attention, but my door is open to you all." Tao once again bowed before disappearing into smoke, which trailed back into her office.

Denki's phone buzzed after a moment and he pulled it from his pocket, quickly looking it over. "Dang. We should get back." Denki sounded defeated as he read the notification before shoving the phone back in his pocket.

"I've got some shopping to do while I'm in this area. You guys can go without me." Takara stood with the pineapple juice still gripped in her hand as the trio made their way down the red hallway before once again descending the concrete stairs. Takara had turned to leave once they had exited the building but was stopped by Hitoshi's light grip on her arm.

"Wait." Hitoshi pulled Takara so she was facing him, gently tilting her head up by placing a hand on her chin. He wiped away the remaining smeared mascara on her face with a gentle hand, his skin warm against her as he did so. "Text me." It wasn't a request, and Takara smiled lightly at him despite the serious look he had painted on his face. "You have my number now too, you know." She teased him as she turned to leave, giving Denki a small wave as she began walking up the street away from them.

"I don't know if you can compete with a hot Priestess." Denki informed Hitoshi as they began the long walk back to the agency, translation finally successful.

"There's no competition. You know I could never actually be with anyone." Hitoshi reminded in a forced monotone voice as Denki rolled his eyes. "Aizawa really turned you into a mini him, huh? All work, no play." Hitoshi opted not to respond as they continued their journey back.

Surviving the UCAS process

Finishing year 12/ starting year 13, half way through A levels, and now you have to start applying for uni. It is stressful. It does get you worried, but it’s okay once it’s over.

UCAS process

Make an account

Produce application

Send off internally

Send to UCAS

Send to uni

Interview (Maybe)

Acceptances

Choose your uni 

Overall tips

Get it done quickly- Get your application done as soon as possible. When I did mine, it had to be sent back twice, meaning it was at the back of the queue and it took ages to be sent to UCAS. This stressed me out so much, so if possible, submit it to your school as soon as possible. 

Add qualifications you haven’t got yet- As I said, some of mine were sent back, and that was because I only put in the qualifications I had already attained. Make sure you add in the subjects you’re doing now, with the date you’ll finish them, and just don’t put a grade in the box. We were never told that and it wasted a lot of time for me. 

Use your teachers- Your form tutor, and all your subject teachers will be writing you a reference, so talk to them. If you’re planning on doing one of their subjects, tell them, and ask them to say something about how interested you are in the subject. Even if you don’t seem it, most teachers will exaggerate to help you with this. They want you to get into uni. 

Negotiate your predicted grades- If you need your predicted grades higher than what you’re being given, go ask them to increase it. Show your teachers evidence that you deserve a better predicted grade, and I’m sure they will do something to help. 

Ask for help- If there is anything you don’t understand, ask someone. The staff at your school have probably done this every year for a long time, so they know more than you. 

Trust your school- I know when others from different schools have got 4 offers and an interview, and yours hasn’t even gone off to UCAS, you begin to feel as though your school are messing up, but chances are, they know what they’re doing. As I said before, they’re fine, so don’t worry. If they’re taking their time, don’t worry, but also trust them to tell them when they’re doing something wrong. Tell them if they’ve screwed up and trust them to fix it. 

Stress out- I can sit here and tell you to relax, calm down, chill out. It doesn’t work. I can tell you to stop refreshing that UCAS application page every day until it gets sent through, only to do the same with UCAS track. It doesn’t work. If you want to look at it every day, go ahead. If you need to have your moments of panic, that’s okay too. Just remember, everyone else is stressed out too. It’s normal, and it’s okay. You don’t have to hide it because others tell you it’s not such a big deal 

Personal statements

They don’t matter all that much. You’re going to spend up to 2 months stressing about what to write, how to write it, looking at a thesaurus more in that short time than ever in your life. And then you realise it wasn’t that important. But, you will write it a hundred times, cry at 3am, and you will stress, so here are some tips to make it a little easier for you. 

Overwrite- When you do a personal statement, you have a character count, and a line count. (I can’t remember the character count, but I think it’s 47 lines long) Everyone always wants to know if it’s best to write a minimum and fluff it up, or overwrite and take out later. It’s definitely better to overwrite and take out later. If you get everything you want to say, professional and precise, and then you have to start adding words, it’s awful. It’s much better to write loads then take out the irrelevant stuff. 

The golden ratio- I’ve seen loads of people talk about the ratio of academics to extra curricular detail, and it’s often 60:40, so there is a slight majority focused on academics. From what I’ve found, this isn’t that important. In my personal statement, I had about 1 or 2 sentences about hobbies and stuff, and I got into all 5 choices for uni. 

Talking about extracurricular- Be concise and specific. I focused on talking about my work experience, in terms of how it will help my degree, and I talked about specific books/films/documentaries that I read that also would link to my degree. 

Talking about hobbies- Don’t go into detail. They don’t really care what your hobbies, and so no matter what you say, or how little you say, will be more than enough. If you do talk about hobbies, explain what they do to enhance your life (E.g football has made me a team player/ E.g cooking has given me a chance to be independent/ E.g singing has helped to increase my confidence around others) As long as you put something, it’s good enough. 

‘Over-exaggerate’ your achievements- When I say over-exaggerate, I wouldn’t say lie. Don’t say that you got an award in XYZ if you didn’t. First of all, I just don’t like lying, but even if you’re okay with that, you never know when they’ll catch you out. Instead, talk about things that you have done, and just really sell them as important. For example, talk about how you recently (in year 9) played 10 netball matches for your school. Talk about how you tutored some younger students in their GCSEs, whilst doing your AS. (No one needs to know that it was your little sister and her mates) As long as you can back it up, with truth and evidence, you can add it in.

It’s yours. No one else’s- As you see it, it is a personal statement. You should have it how you want it, allowing it to represent you in the way you want it to. If your angle is your love for learning, talk about it. If you want to write, showing what a good personality you are, go for it. Your teachers will give you advice and adjustments. Take them into mind, but remember, they have one structure; who’s to say it’s the only right one? I didn’t take all the advice given, and I was fine. So yes, if something is factually incorrect, or misspelled, take advice, but don’t change everything that makes it personal. 

Predicted grades

What are they?- These are the grades sent by your school to the university, telling them what they expect you to get. From my experience, they are usually higher that what you’re actually predicted. A lot of my subjects sent my ‘predicted grade’ at least one grade higher than what they’d put as my predicted grade on my reports. These help the unis to see which students are the most likely to meet the entry requirements.

They are very important- I really think they might be the most important factor in determining whether you get accepted into in or not. Of course, your personal statement is important too, but a great set of grades will always speak louder than a good personal statement. Therefore, look at your grades. If most of your hope is on your personal statement, I would think again. I was predicted A*AAB and so I got into all my unis despite very little extracurricular or work experience. They are more important than actual grades. The uni wants your money, so as long as you get accepted, I think you’re 90% there. They’re likely to accept you if you miss out on a grade or so in your real exams as you’re already there and they’re already getting their money. 

Get them as high as possible- As I said, predicted grades are very important, so whatever you do, get them high. This can be done in so many ways. Maybe you can negotiate them, maybe you can’t. I already talked about negotiating grades above, so I’ll focus on other ways. My predicted grades were calculated heavily based on how well I did in my trial exams in January, so I knew, more than anything, I had to take these seriously. If your other grades are high, that helps too, but I knew that these were as important as my real exams, so I pushed myself. If you can do that, give your everything for these mocks, you will be rewarded.

Use them as a guide- When you’re applying to uni, you need to know your limits. For example, if you know your predicted grades are CCC, you shouldn’t look at unis with AAB, because that’s highly unlikely to work out. Make sure you therefore can use your predicted grades for this Therefore, if you can, find out what they will be as soon as possible. I was sure mine would be all Bs, so I applied to some unis, and then I found out last minute they were so much higher and I had to change my choices the day before sending off my application. Stressful

They are only a rough guide- While you take them into a guide of what uni you should apply to, don’t stick to it completely. Try a uni with slightly higher grades, and definitely go for lower unis if that’s what you want. My advice was to always choose 3 unis that want your grades, 1 uni a bit higher, and 1 uni a bit lower. That way, you can always aspire for higher but also have something to rely on if you don’t end up doing as well as you’d hoped.

Interviews

Clothes- Your clothes aren’t that important. People always stress out about what they will wear, but honestly, it’s not that important. If you’re dressed moderately smart and neatly, probably what you would wear to sixth form, you’ll be fine. Avoid joggers and hoodies, and I wouldn’t go for anything that looks too ‘clubwear’ but other than that, don’t worry. Most people I know go to interviews in the same clothes they would wear for an open day, so don’t worry. 

Subject knowledge- Go with knowledge. Make sure you have enough to show that you are interested in the subject. Ensure you know a few basics on the course, and also what’s on your course. Look through the course spec and pick something that you’re really interested in doing so you can talk about it. For example, doing genetics, you could talk about how you’re looking forward to epigenetics and stuff like that. However, my sister was never really asked about anything. She was more asked why she wanted to do the subject and why she picked a specific uni.

You don’t have to be a genius- So many people read up on everything possible in their subject, but that’s not needed. As long as you show you’re interested and you have some basic knowledge, that’s fine. My teacher had an interview for Oxford (Maybe Cambridge) and they asked him a question, which he had know idea on. He simply answered ‘I don’t know. How?’ From that, he got a whole explanation for an hour; showed off his interest, and consequently was given an offer for uni. So don’t worry if you’re not an expert in the subject, just go, do your best, and ask questions.

Personality- This is going to be important. The university already know how smart and intellectual you are, and they already like you. Now they want to see that you’d be a good fit in their school. They want you to show them how much of an asset you as a person will be. So be yourself, but put your best self forward. Don’t be too formal, relax, and be confident.

Offers

Conditional offers- These are (like in the name) offers given to you on the condition that you achieve a certain grade. Now these can often be negotiated. Mine got moved from AAB to BBB just for putting it as my firm choice. Also, as I already said, they care more about your 9 grand than they care about you (as much as they try to deny it) and so even then, these conditional offers may not be so fixed. 

Unconditional offers- These are basically where you get the offer no matter what. Sometimes they will say that you only get an unconditional offer if you accept it as a firm choice. This is such a benefit and while you’re doing your exams, you will wish for this. However, if you’ve got an unconditional, don’t let it ruin your motivation. You still need your grades. 

Accepting offers- Don’t rush into it. I accepted my offers the day I got my last one, but a lot of people waited. One of my friends waited so long, their first choice uni changed her offer from a conditional to an unconditional. Take your time, really think about it. You will spend 3, 4, maybe more years there, so don’t pick somewhere you’re not really interested in. Also, don’t accept an offer just because it’s unconditional. Make sure you want to go there before anything else. 

It’s YOUR choice- Don’t reject an offer because others say it’s not the best. I was told not to accept my offer as I had offers from much ore high status unis, but I knew which one was for me, and if you get like that for a specific uni, stick to it. Trust me. Pick the university you think is best for you. If others complain it’s too far away, or it’s not high up enough on league tables, forget them. This is your choice, and your future; not theirs. (If you don’t like a uni because it’s too far away or low in league tables, that’s fine too, as long as it’s your choice)

Getting rejected- I didn’t get any rejections, but I know how hard that can be. Don’t worry. There will be other unis/ Just apply again, go through extra. Maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe you don’t really want uni. Maybe you needed those rejections to show you that. Or maybe you’ll see how much harder you need to work. Either way, everything will turn out okay. 

What now? Focus on meeting the requirements of your course. Work as hard as you can, getting ready for it. Smash your exams, and take a well earned break. By that time, you’ll be in my position; writing your own UCAS survival guides, waiting for your results. And in that time, I wish you all the best of luck!

Thank you for reading, I hope it’s helped! If you have any questions about UCAS, unis, or anything like that, let me know. Send me an ask, or a private message and I’ll definitely get back to you! Good luck with everything and remember; it will be okay. It always does. Let me know how your applications go!

Disclaimer: I didn’t have any interviews so all my interview advice comes from my school to our class, not my personal experiences. Psychology very rarely does interviews, but for other subjects you may not get this escape. Also, I never applied for Oxbridge universities, so some things may be a little different.

Part Seven

Part One || Part Two || Part Three || Part Four || Part Five || Part Six

Phrixus Jaril, 13, moves to the Citadel at a delicate age: namely, the peak of his teenage angst. He doesn’t expect much from these rich Citadel kids. But then he meets the Ryder twins, and all their friends, and realizes that he may have been a wee bit wrong about things. His relationship with Mira Ryder evolves over the years, and he never expected things to end up the way they did.

2970 words, Female Ryder|Sara Ryder/Original Male Turian Character, teen rating

AO3

-

He hadn’t really gotten to know Jyra Kraetoq, of the lower Citadel wards, during basic. And two months into advanced training, he still knew jack-all about her. He and Ruq tended to include her at meal times and in down time, because they came from the same basic squad. And they were usually in the same fire team. But the most they’d gotten her to say about herself was that she could probably infiltrate any system of ductwork, felt strongly that anyone not carrying at least two sidepieces and knives was asking for it, and didn’t believe in eating meat. Even the vat-cloned “meat” that was so often a camp staple.

She was okay, though. Good with tech and a pistol.

He never saw Kraetoq after training; last he’d heard, she had a post out near geth space– some joint op with both Alliance and Flotilla forces cleaning up leftovers from the Battle of the Citadel. Ruq, unfortunately, stuck to him like varren shit. Some years after boot camp, they met again at the fringes of the Attican Traverse. Slaver hunting. But even without meeting up with Ruq again, he recalled these two in particular because they gave him some advice he should have listened to. Sure, Kraetoq went through partners like tp, and Ruq was so dense he’d have someone sticking their mandibles straight up into his before he realized they were interested– but still. You see the splinter in someone else’s eye better than the log in yours or whatever.

During one evening’s free time, most of their squad and the other squads in the company were in the rec room. Kraetoq had stood from the table she, Phrixus, and Ruq had been sitting at.

She whistled at him. “Jaril. Latrine.”

Feet propped on the table top, Phrixus looked up from his omnitool. “Take a female.”

They (meaning everyone under sergeant rank) had to walk around the camp in pairs, usualy male-male and female-female, but in cases of male-female you took three. One male, two females or one female, two males. It was kind of a pain in the middle of the night when someone had to pee really bad and had to wait on someone to wake up and stop cursing you for waking you up.

“I could make the obvious joke here,” Kraetoq drawled. “But let’s just save time and go already.”

He didn’t feel like arguing, so he dropped his feet and shoved at Ruq, napping on the table with his head in his arms. Ruq grumbled some but got up anyway. A short walk later, the two of them leaned against the wall outside the female latrine, Ruq half falling asleep again and Phrixus with his mandibles deep in his tool.

And his head was still mired elsewhere when Kraetoq came out, and the other two were halfway down the hallway.

“Jaril,” Ruq called.

He looked up, and pushed off the wall. And when he followed after them, and passed by them, Ruq got sneaky and shot out a hand to grab onto his wrist. Jerking, he whipped Phrixus’s hand around so that he could look at the omnitool, too.

“I’m not gonna forget you–” he read out loud. He whistled. “How darling. Romantic, even. How much did you pay the guy to write all this for your sour ass?”

Quicker than Ruq could react, Phrixus flicked him sharply on the forehead with his free hand.

“Shit–”

“Dumbass,” he told Ruq.

His hand returned to him, he turned off his omnitool. He’d been browsing through his old message logs. The people in them almost felt like… strangers. At what point had they stopped writing to each other like that, like… Their feelings were so easy to admit. To just spit out. It hadn’t even been a year since he’d written that line Ruq used, but it felt like a lifetime.

The three of them walked back to the rec area with Ruq shrilling about the mark Phrixus probably left. Kraetoq glanced at him. At the face he was making.

“Trouble in paradise?” she asked.

He glanced at her. Shrugged. “My girlfriend. Lately she’s… acting like a damn princess. I’m here, busting my ass, and…” He shrugged again. “It’s just hard to talk to her lately.”

They dropped into their old seats. Propped their feet up again. And Kraetoq didn’t say anything, so he thought the subject was dropped. But then she cleared her throat.

“Maybe she’s acting like a princess because she is one? Maybe every girl is a bit of a princess. Just some don’t get the chance to act like it.”

He looked at her. And shrugged and rolled his eyes because he was a damn idiot and thought she was complaining about having to nag them about walking her to the latrine, and not that she was saying something he should have really heard.

He should have been worried when Mira started going out again. Since the move to the dorms, Forta had decided to cut the drinking and work on lifting and his overall fitness. Of course, the timing and the amount of enthusiasm he threw into this should have worried Phrixus for an altogether different reason. Mira, though, went back to sneaking out with Aela and all the old suspects back home. He’d thought at first it was her just going back to things like normal. But then at some point she and Aela got bored of all the same old house parties.

[mira] soooo

[phrixus] yeah

[mira] me n aela have been up to no good

[mira] yesss

[mira] you do

[mira] so u kno how ur csn is tied to ur face recs and thats how you get id’ed for bars and stuff

If at any time you are a citizen of Citadel space, you receive a constantly updating three-dimensional face scan that will be associated with a Citadel Space Number and your various specs. This information is stored with various police and government databases, which vendors of regulated goods and services are required to access before selling to you.

[phrixus] yeah…

[mira] well, we met this asari who knows someone that will program a jump in scanner software when your face is scanned so it looks like you’re legal

[mira] its expensive

[mira] but i think its worth it

[phrixus] mira

[phrixus] are you for real right now

[mira] what

They didn’t talk for two weeks.

He had never been angry at anyone, had never been angry at her in this way before. He’d never been hurt in this way.

He aced an impromptu fire and movement drill, earned praise from the company’s captain. He memorized all of the regs concerning the movement of refugees from an unsecured location to a secured location. He learned how to properly fire heavy artillery, and how to decimate an air raid with a dazzling firework display.

All the while pretending to not think about it. All the while stewing.

He felt like shit.

He ignored calls from home, from his moms and his old friends. All the messages. He told no one about the fight. Maybe he thought if he kept quiet, it would cease to exist. Just be erased from the history of the universe if no one could remember it.

But him ignoring it wasn’t going to erase the logs in his omnitool, or make her forget.

He just felt like shit.

When did things get so bad? How could it have been, just a year ago, that he felt there was no one who knew him better, that he trusted more, and then that same person turned into a stranger? Someone he couldn’t understand, someone who he couldn’t confide in or vice-versa? How the fuck was it possible that someone you’d shared a bed with– the only person you’d touched or touched you could turn into… an enemy?

And what was it in him that just… could do nothing to help her. Her mother was dying. And he couldn’t do anything. He hadn’t been able to comfort her, say anything of significance for her. He was useless.

If he were honest, and not trying to forget the whole thing, he’d have to admit he didn’t have much right to criticize her.

Where did the trust get broken? Where did the understanding go? Where did that warm afternoon air go, sliding down their bare backs? Where did the quiet rustling as they shifted closer go? And her smile– when was the last time he’d made her smile?

That hit some deep spot in him, some horribly tender place that wasn’t protected by plates or armor. A place he’d been trying to ignore, all this time at camp.

He pretended to forget for two weeks before he ended up wide awake after lights out, laying in bed and staring at the ceiling. He was running on several nights of staring up at the ceiling instead of sleeping, and yet, here he was. Awake. Pretending.

Phrixus pushed up an elbow and glanced down from his top bunk. Everyone was out. In the hall outside, he couldn’t hear the boots of the patrolling fire watch. They were supposed to report anyone out of bed, but even if they caught him only brown-nosing assholes ever snitched on fellow trainees.

Silently, he slipped down the ladder. He dug his omnitool out, climbed back up, and pulled up the covers to block some of the light.

He sent a message to Mira. And waited. And waited. The air filters in the barracks room clicked at rapid rhythm every few hours. It wasn’t too loud, just sort of softly angry and stuttery. Could wake you up though, and you wouldn’t realize it was the filters. You’d get spooked and feel like something was sitting on your chest. He sent another message.

And he waited and waited.

[phrixus] We need to talk.

[mira] oooo cap

[mira] s

[mira] pucntion

[mira] ooooooo

[mira] u dontwnt to tallk tome

[phrixus] Have you been drinking?

A very long pause. He turned his omnitool’s light off when he heard the passing of the fire watch.

[phrixus] Where are you?

[mira] purgatory

[phrixus] Mira.

[mira] stop

[mira] dont

[phrixus] Who’s with you?

[mira] y do u caer

[phrixus] I’m messaging Aela.

[mira] no

[mira] u nnever

[phrixus] im sorry

[mira] yeah

[mira] metoo

[phrixus] you wanna vid talk?

[phrixus] mira?

[phrixus] mira

He waited a while. And waited. Tried her again. Then he tried Aela.

[phrixus] hey are you with mira

[aela] yeah

[aela] we’re leaving purgatory now

[aela] try her tomorrow or something

[phrixus] ok

[phrixus] how is she

[aela] look, i’m the last person you want to ask about this

[aela] i’m not gonna pull punches

[aela] and i don’t want to make it worse

[aela] just talk to her tomorrow

-

So he skipped lunch the next day and messaged her. Wedged into the corner between two auxiliary buildings, having snuck his omnitool into his waistband in the morning. The electromagnetic barrier of the fort’s biodome buzzing distantly overhead. As answer, she vid called him back.

He was in fatigues, unbuttoned to the waist. The dome protected from a great deal of heat, but it was still much hotter out of doors.

She stared at him, out of the QE data transmission, tinged in hologram blue. In her dorm, sitting on a bed not so different from the one he used now. The plain, nondescript walls not so different from the ones in the barracks, yet hers papered with photo screens and posters. The cushions at her back the same from her old room. Her face was a mess, like clan markings done with cheap paint in a downpour, and she wore a wrinkled and disheveled dress he’d never seen before. Her hair was pulled back carelessly.

“Hey,” she said, small and quiet.

“Hey,” he said.

He could hear the distant rhythm of a jogging company. Even farther out, the sharp cracks of the range.

“You okay?” he asked.

Her eyes shot down, her jaw working. She shook her head.

“I don’t– I need to say something,” she said. “I said some stuff I shouldn’t have the last time we messaged.”

“I did, too–”

“Wait. Just, wait. I’m sorry. You’re not that type of person I said you were. But I also said some things I should’ve a while ago. Things haven’t… they haven’t been the same… Phrixus.”

He waited, holding his mandibles rigid. He watched the slide of her eyes to some spot away from him, and the working of her throat.

“I’m sorry,” he managed. “Mira, I’m sorry. I’ve been terrible. You’re nothing like… and I haven’t been there for you, I know. But I’ve been– worried about you.”

She hesitated, nervous hands going to push away a stray curl that wasn’t there. “I’m glad. I mean. I know I haven’t been making great choices. But I mean… I just wanted… some fun and– and you know, I’ve been worried about you, too. I don’t have any idea how you’re feeling anymore.”

“Yeah,” he said, subvocals dipping. “I know.”

“And I’m sort of tired of just… waiting for some bit of your time. I feel like I’m just a distraction for you.”

“You’re not– you’re not. But… I’m sorry. I just need, well, space. I really just can’t spare the same amount of time…”

“I know.”

Then she looked up properly, at the rigidity in his face. Her eyes shone. She inhaled, the sound trembling, in her throat.

“Phrixus, I think– I think this just isn’t working anymore. Things aren’t the same.  And we both– I think we both need to focus on other things.”

The voice of some sergeant out in the yard spread out over the compound, echoing like a sergeant’s voice does, but wordless and unemotional and hard. An unintelligible dressing down of some group of teenagers.

“I…” he needed to reply, but his voice was skittering away from him. “I think… you’re probably right. I guess we should just– break up…”

She stared up at him. Her voice was so small and tight. “Yeah.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Me too.”

-

He felt… relief for a while. Relief that the pressure and responsibility of the relationship was over. That he didn’t have to come back to his bunk with a backlog of messages to catch up on.

But then the guilt set in. Had they just given up? Should he have tried harder, done more. How could he have said the things he did. This wasn’t just anyone.  This was her. And she had needed him, and he hadn’t been there.

And then the pain set in. Like the story Lieutenant Gratarian had told them on simulation; there are times when soldiers get cleaved in two, and they’re dead, they just don’t realize it yet. But they keep talking, still trying to get help. But they’re dead, and they’ll feel it soon.

All the things he remembered, all the things they’d shared– it got into that deep and tender spot. Turned into this black blemish that never seemed to go away. He could forget about it. But sometimes something (some scent that reminded him, some shift in another’s form) would touch it, and light that tender spot on fire.

But what they’d said still remained.

Maybe it was for the best.

He could focus on training, and she could work things out, figure out the thing in her that was hurting.

Time passed. He didn’t try to make up or restart things, and neither did she.

And they moved on.
