victor's confession endears him to the man further, although it seems to take very little in that regard -- he was already hanging off the man's every word, practically wrapped around his finger. for all of victor's pedigree and manner, felix hadn't pegged him as a duplicitous sort, and he's glad to see his judgement hasn't failed him yet. "you can be honest with me for as long as you care to, and i'll return the favor," felix says simply, the close proximity and the breath tickling the shell of his ear prompting the hair on the back of his neck to stand up. he look he gives victor then is demure, seductive as he gazes down at him through his lashes. "then you haven't yet done anything to regret or be ashamed of," he murmurs, voice deep. the 'yet' is full of implication and promise. felix knows what the uppercrust of british society is like, how rigid and unforgiving it can be when it comes to expectations, especially in regards to making powerful political friends and cutting ties with friends of a lower class as soon as his family had a conniption. felix grins, ducking his head shyly. "well, with all due respect to your father, he knows my house and my father's title along with very little else. perhaps he'd be less pleased, were he to know of my reputation at oxford. so i'm glad too." he leaves his infamous reputation to victor's imagination, undoubtedly he'd end up somewhere in the middle when it came to truth. victor had invited him here with a promise of privacy and discretion, so when felix slips fingers into the hair at the back of victor's neck to steady him for a rousing kiss, sweet in dragging sweeps of lips and tongue until it errs on the side of seeking, letting out a soft sigh against victor's lips.

The hand upon his arm is a reassuring presence, which reminds him that despite the fantastical nature of their initial encounter, Felix has still chosen to be here, and indulge in something completely opposing to his palate for the sake of Victor's company. The fact that he has honoured their meeting inspires a burst of candour within Victor, and once they have taken their appointed place in their private box, he turns to his companion with a quiet voice. ❝—Can I be a bit honest with you for a moment? I was quite drunk the night we met, and I did sort of regret our encounter afterwards. Not because of you, of course; you were perfectly lovely throughout, but rather because I realised how pleased my father would be with our association.❞

His gold-rimmed eyes have gone impossibly blue with a show of vulnerability which silently pleads for Felix's understanding. For he is certain that the other must understand what is at the heart of his confession, given their similar backgrounds. It is the very first unveiling of his character before Felix; one that speaks of a rebelliousness born out of old resentments, and unamendable relations. ❝—Mind you, I don't say any of this lightly. The truth is now that you're actually here and I've seen you again, I'm very glad I didn't cancel our plans for tonight.❞ His touch wavers against Felix's resting hand, tentative yet as affectionate as the smile which graces the roseate curves of his lips.

Graceful is her farewell as she cites and summons the last blow to Lilina. Though she didn't end up being victorious, she treasured the time spent with the other three just as well.

           "Yes, I would like that..." were her final words as she collapsed into the snow, its cold fresh fluff providing some sort of comfort to the mage, if only briefly.

           Lilina sits up proper, shaking the snowfall from her tresses. "It was my honor to go against someone with your prowess." She helps herself up with the aid of Eirika now leaning on her for support.

           "Now... about that reward," any fatigue that overcame her before was in the past as her eyes kindled a new light behind them. "I think hot chocolate would be most appropriate given our situation. Oh! And maybe we could also go for gingerbread cookies."

observing transformative fanwork practices on haikyuu!! twitter

object: fan interactions around this tweet by artist @fiendishlad, who posted their artwork of Haikyuu!! characters Akaashi and Osamu along with the caption “smiling akaashis and a 38 yr old osamu from this fic the contest between by batman on ao3” and a link to the fanfiction

i was interested in this tweet as an example of how fanwork creators interact with one another because, for one, i understand how meaningful it feels to have another fan create art inspired by your writing. i’m interested in the informal ways in which we inspire, amplify, and celebrate one another’s work. what can this tweet show us about how what fan artists and fic writers value? how do they understand their own transformative works’ relationship with the source material (haikyuu) and with other fanworks? 

excerpts from my fieldnotes below. interpretive notes will be // italicized and bracketed like this. // direct quotes will look “like this.”

@tricksteller is the writer (ao3 batman), they seem to have come across this art indirectly (maybe searched up their user “batman” on twitter, or a friend sent it to them) since @fiendishlad did not tag them in the caption. they are ecstatic (“GEEKING OUT”) at this art, and grateful for it. 

kudos are similar to “likes” a user can leave on an ao3 fic, @fiendishlad sees the labor behind making this fanart as a way of leaving “more kudos” (showing appreciation) // in this way fans seem to “exchange” payment for the free labor they perform for one another, but it feels like so much more than a simple transaction — i pay $20, u give me book //

“THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOVING THEM ENOUGH TO GIVE THEM YOUR TIME AND SKILL” // an understanding among fanwork creators that pouring time, energy, and skill into creating art/fic for free is driven by a fannish love for someone else’s work; this is a huge compliment to tee //

@fiendishlad makes no direct reference to haikyuu as the source or inspiration of their work, the direct link is to ao3 batman’s fanwork // layers of transformation // 

the fanart does not depict specific scenes of the fic, but visual or stylistic cues are specific to ao3 batman’s version of the haikyuu!! characters akaashi and osamu; seemingly recognizable to fans who’ve read batman’s fic (or are now reading batman’s fic bc of the art)

@autumnsolace reply: “My emotions from reading this fic is still so fresh and your art just multiplied it tenfold GOSHH IM CLENCHING MY HEART I’m truly about to give out they are so good TnT I will be thinking of this osamu and his wrist watch cheek scar forever”

@bluests reply: “fiend this is gorgeous! i'm currently working my way through the fic and i LOVE blushing, smiling akaashi, i just know his laugh is like wind chimes i can hear it...and your osamu is so handsome, look at his smirk, look at his watch! thank you so much for sharing!!”

@moonstarkeiji reply: “This Osamu is perfect!!!! Also the black wristwatch grrr i am looking ::eye:: ::eye:: And glowing sparkly Keiji ::pleading_face:: ::sparkle:: ::sparkle:: ::sparkle::  aaaaa I’m imagining all his precious lil moments in this fic”

@aniatsuki reply: “OMG BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS, well I have to say it thanks to you I discovered some beautiful Osaka fanfictions and I am obsessed <3″

// this post, more than just a sharing of fanart, seems to also be an opportunity to talk about a fic you loved with others who read it, and to also recommend or introduce a fanwork to others. this promotes batman’s work *and* borrows affect from batman’s work (those who love batman’s fic are more moved by this art thanks to batman’s writing) //

@tricksteller (tee) returned to this post one year later just to thank @fiendishlad // tweets tend to disappear after the trending time has passed, tee must’ve saved this tweet or something else brought them back to it //

“it’s an absolute pleasure to be able to read tcb whenever i want” // speaks to the accessibility of fanfic, the special and uncommon privilege these days to enjoy, for free, works of art specifically tailored to your personal interests. also speaks to ao3’s mission of preserving fanworks, keeping them available beyond the transient nature of the internet and fandom, in which people shed and adopt identities and move on to new fixations very quickly //

Like, Sokka, but very specifically Sokka from the episode with cactus juice. I also think of you very vaguely when I see Finis from Insomniac here on tumblr, and also vaguely with Saphira from the book Saphira.

I frankly have no reason for any of this, it simply seems to Fit.

thank you im obsessed with this ask. sokka from the cactus juice ep is the highest honor u could have bestowed upon me and i had to look up the other two. im still not sure who finis is ngl, but for the latter--if you mean Saphira as in from Eragon, that’s such high praise omg thank u sm <3 

tell me what three chars you associate me w bc i am dead from studying for finals!!

for the greenflower prompts: hydrangea... set in the rain!

Brad is caught in the rain often. Too often, to be honest. How he keeps forgetting his umbrella is beyond him. How Lloyd keeps remembering is, well, standard. Not really that impressive. Brad tells him this. Lloyd laughs. “‘Scuse you,” he says. “I’ll kick you out of my umbrella.” “Sure.” Brad snuggles closer, looping his arm through Lloyd’s. “Here, you’re holding it too low.” Brad takes the umbrella from him as Lloyd grumbles something about trees and lampposts. He holds it up a bit, so it no longer hits him in the head, and Lloyd smiles, pecking his cheek. The streets are nearly empty. It’s late, and they’re on the way back from a show. It was a good show, Brad thought. Lloyd’s been a bit more critical. They walk in a comfortable silence, only the rain tip-tapping on the umbrella, the occasional gust of wind. A rather strong one takes Brad by surprise, yanking the umbrella from his hand and sending it flying down the street. The silence suddenly grows tense. “Well?” Lloyd says. “Go get it.” Brad laughs, but the expression on Lloyd’s face tells him he isn’t amused. “Oh, I’ll buy you a new one,” Brad says, laughing. He tugs Lloyd to an overhang, brushing the wet curls from his face. And Lloyd laughs. Laughs his beautiful laugh. “You butthead!” he says. “I loved that umbrella!” “Why? Because it was green?” Brad says. “Oh, shut up.” Lloyd giggles. In response, Brad says “Let’s make a run for it.” And, at once, they run into the rain, laughing as they do. They end up soaked, by the time they reach their apartment. Brad pauses, grabbing Lloyd’s hand and pulling him out into the rain once more before they go inside. “Hey!” Lloyd laughs. “We’re right there!” “Sorry,” Brad says, smiling. And he leans down and kisses him. The rain beats against his back, and he’s pretty sure he can hear thunder rumbling in the distance, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
