4 days of lukeyaya 3/14.......<3 <3 <3 ^ᴗ^ <3 <33

high school luke had no plans on confessing yet, but he wasn't about to let valentine's day roll by un-celebrated. he had to do something, right? he didn't care much for how anyone else wanted to celebrate it... but he knew yaya wanted to. he knew she loved this time of year, and he was determined to be at least a small part of that.

it had seemed like a good plan at the start. he called in to place an order for roses a few weeks in advance, making sure there would be some when the day came. he looked into whatever chocolate brands seemed the cutest and the tastiest. he spent days on end folding together tiny little origami stars out of pink, red, or white paper, piling them in a little jar until they totaled 100. he packed the chocolates and jar into his backpack, content with what he had made. everything was going to be perfect.

it rained that morning. february 14th rolled around, rainy and dreary. his alarm didnt go off. he overslept so bad he barely had the time to throw on his clothes and shove down a piece of bread. he hadn't even noticed when his foot landed on a portion of his backpack as he stumbled around in a hurry.

he flew down the sidewalk as he ran to the flower store, racing against the time so as to not be late for school. the rain pelted his face and drenched his clothes, his eyes half-shut as he squinted against the harsh, wet winds. he nearly slid into the flower shop with how slick the sidewalk was. paying in a hurry, he thanked the little old couple behind the counter before taking off again.

he was out of breath by the time he got to the schools front gates. yaya was still sitting out front beside rosa, as if the two were waiting for him, thankfully out of the rain. she brightened up when she saw him, running out to greet him with merely a hand held above her head to shield her from the rain.

it was nearly automatic the way he pulled off his jacket to hold up above them both, above her. "I brought these for you!" he said, fighting against the roar of the wind. she looked down and he followed, only horrified to see some of the petals had been ripped off and blown away in the wind. the roses were drenched, looking a little worse for wear. they didnt look at all like the gorgeous bouquet he had picked up only a few blocks back.

he pushed it into yayas hands for a moment in horror as he dropped his backpack to the ground, other arm still holding the jacket above her head. he fished around in the bag for a moment before finding it... the crushed box of chocolates. one side was almost smashed in... he must have accidentally stepped on it that morning.

an awful feeling was piling up inside of him, like a mix between horror and bile. he reached inside once more, pulling out the still intact bottle of stars. a small feeling of relief nestled inside, though the burning pang of tears still threatened the corner of his eyes. "i brought these for you," he repeated, his voice weaker and shaky.

even still, her hands gently took all the gifts from him, cradling them as if they were precious. there was no disappointment waiting when he finally brought himself to look her in the eye, only that same gentleness she always offered him.

"thank you, luke. i love it."

WRITING CHAPTERS IJ MY INBOX . MAKING ME CRY . your power . the details in this one??? he instantly wants to keep her dry :((( the stars :(((( yaya absolutely keeps them forever. they’re treasures to her and she’s so so happy :((((( he gets so sad but she’s so so happy she absolutely gushes about them and carries the flowers around with her ALL day and keep them in her bedroom until they’re falling apart in the vase

“be a small part of that” he’s all of it she’s so grateful for him always. she’s always loved him even if she wasn’t fully aware of it <3

Interrogation/torture scenes where Whumper is just as gentle as they are cruel.

Their voice is soft even as they slide a serrated knife beneath Whumpee’s skin, methodically drawing out screams. Between rounds, they crouch on their heels as if calming a scared child, tilting their head to peer underneath a sweaty curtain of hair.

They ask guilessly, as blood drips steadily from the knife in their hand, “Should we try this again?”

They're so ready to throw hands with whoever makes their dearest archeologist cry :(

Here are some other F3 Seb pics I thought were really cute

Touya responding with “Oh really? My condolences. Giving me all your attention after everything’s over is easy, you coward.” when Enji said that “The Hero Endeavor has burned to death” it’s just so satisfying. Like— GO. OFF. YOU ABSOLUTE KING.

He will never not be a menace for this guy and I love Touya so fucking much for that 🤧💜

Leo has a lot of love for his comics, constantly rereading them (mainly for the art) and overall having a lot of sentimental value for them, especially because reading them is something he likes to do when he’s just existing in a space with his family.

And then the Shredder happens. And then the invasion happens. And then life in general happens. And, suddenly, most of Leo’s comics are either too damaged to fix or gone entirely.

But it’s fine! He’s growing up, so he doesn’t need them anymore. So what if it’s one more bit of childhood lost? It’s fine - it’s fine.

Enter Mikey.

Mikey, who is so, so empathetic and cares so, so much about his family - he notices, and he decides to do something about it.

Unfortunately, most of the comics are vintage, and completely unavailable in any form but digital.

Good thing Mikey is an artist.

So over the course of a month, Mikey secretly takes the time to painstakingly recreate Leo’s favorite Jupiter Jim volume. It’s hard, matching a style like that with only grainy online scans to go off of, but he manages.

He gives it to Leo on a mundane day, out of the blue, with a sunshine smile on his face.

Now- Mikey does all this secretly.

But Leo is very, very perceptive, especially in regard to his brothers hiding things from him. So of course he finds the unfinished work in progress comic about three days in.

He does NOT cry. He doesn’t.

Just as he doesn’t cry when Mikey presents him with the finished thing, nope, not a tear in sight.

His eyes are just wetter than normal as he gives Mikey the absolute biggest hug he could possibly give.

(And if Mikey finds the fridge and pantry always stacked with special ingredients only found in specific parts of the world whenever he so much as mentions wanting to try them, that’s neither here nor there.)

i've spoken about this in a couple discord chats already but the idea of a binggeyuan frieren au is so so tasty and yet there is no fucking way i am ever going to attempt it bc i just KNOW it would be sad in order to be good

the idea of bingge traveling alongside frail mortal shen yuan for some years, watching the way sy interacts with the world, letting sy coax him into using his immense power to help save some group of people (or beasts, or whatever strikes sy's fancy). bingge goes along mostly for amusement - life gets quite boring, when you're as old and powerful as he is - and at the end of everything he goes his own way without thinking twice.

later - much, much later - bingge thinks that things have gotten quite boring again, and he wants to go find the little mortal that had amused him for some years.

the little mortal is dead.

bingge is furious, of course. he hasn't allowed anyone to deny him anything for centuries now, and he hasn't had to actually deal with a mortal's death in nearly as long for the way he surrounds himself with other powerful demons and cultivators. the solution is simple, though: bingge will simply resurrect shen yuan.

but since shen yuan has been dead for years at this point, there is no body to easily restore, and in this au there wouldn't be so many convenient resurrection tools in this universe to begin with. it would turn into the whole frieren-esque adventure, perhaps with bingge picking up a kid that shen yuan had been mentoring before his death - perhaps one of bingge's own neglected kids, in fact, that shen yuan had picked up in part bc he missed bingge.

and as bingge adventures onwards towards a miracle resurrection tool, he'll occasionally run into situations that could easily be solved through pure power and callousness, and he... won't. he'll think about the way sy would scold him for being cruel, and he'll sulk and throw tantrums but in the end he'll avoid whatever the easy but cruel option was. the journey will take far longer for bingge than it necessarily would have to, because the goal of the journey has put sy at the front of his mind and now he can't stop thinking about all the stupid ""lessons"" sy had tried to give him.

and this is why i could not write this au: the most fitting ending i can think of for this au would be that the only way to resurrect shen yuan would be through some horrific sacrifice of hundreds of other innocent lives, and bingge would choose not to do it.

it would make him furious - it would drive him to the edge of qi deviation, to the edge of declaring some stupid pointless war just so he can work out his anger and get those innocent souls to resurrect shen yuan anyway. but he wouldn't. this whole slow adventure has reminded him bit by bit of just why he'd spent so long following that foolish little mortal shen yuan around, of the way that living a kinder life had felt so relaxing after years of constantly being ready to spill blood at a moment's notice.

shen yuan would be so disappointed in bingge if he choose that method of resurrection, and so bingge can't do it. bingge would be unsatisfied with that method of resurrection, just because he'd know sy would dislike it.

shen yuan stays dead, but his memory haunts bingge for the rest of his nearly immortal life, and bingge ever so slowly shapes himself into what that memory was.
