Oh, Aang, you're really in it now...

This is Zu—I mean, Jian Li and Katara's second meeting in the Kyoshi Warriors AU. The first proper one, anyway.

Once they get through a minor difference of opinion or two (“I can carry my own basket!” “Never said you—” “I'm not weak!” “I didn't—” “Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean—” “Would you listen for once, woman?!” ) they'll become nearly inseparable.

For now Jian Li will carry Katara's basket all the way to the Kyoshi Warriors' dojo and, once there, they'll mercilessly tease Sokka when they see him in uniform.

obsessed with the fact that if you choose the last purple option in lucanis' romance chat before going off to tearstone island ("they MOVED the MOON!!!" still in the running for the best delivery in the whole game btw it's so ineffably hilarious to me), it's rook who flinches away just a little bit (if still warmly <3) and tries to change the topic and lucanis who's steady even though he's clearly still so afraid. 'don't tempt fate'/'*the softest fucking voice you've ever heard in your entire life* I don't intend to'. pain and suffering

lucanis looking at rook and helplessly, with a wonder that verges on despair, saying 'what would I do without you?' is soooo. especially at that point in the relationship and with what's about to happen. and for whatever reason rook can't quite stay with the fact that they do mean that much to someone, that they are so reverently and so groundingly 'I want to know what your favourite food is so I can make it for you any time you want it' everyday loved, it's too much and they have to deflect from it or the fear of losing it. can say some very interesting things about them, too.

(there is also a Pattern in that in my estimation lucanis frequently responds better to inviting humour than to earnest shows of concern -- it seems to help him be more engaged/online to be offered that more neutral space to meet you in and uh 'build' the conversation around something funny together than to be confronted with compassion head-on because that clearly mostly deer-in-the-headlights him, as we also see with some of the early flirt options haha. contrast this especially with bellara, who repeatedly gets genuinely upset if you try to make light of some pressing and painful situation she's dealing with (girl I'm so sorry I'm so jestercore and I canot change this but I'll try :'( for you). I think the times lucanis reacts negatively to the purple options are much more about you siding with other (frequently more charismatic lol) people against him or throwing him under the bus interpersonally -- like seeming to go along with illario's charm offensives, or telling teia lucanis didn't want to come help out with caterina's funeral and he'd just sit alone and brood about it if you didn't force him (???!!! hello??? unprovoked and deeply unkind out of left field???? this option is so fucking MEAN and for what fhdaskjfa you're telling me there's no way for rook to be a bit of a dick in this game?)

when it's one on one conversation he consistently seems to find it quite comforting, though... which makes a lot of sense because in many ways it's how he interacts with illario, just shorn of the resentments and hidden daggers and things they Do Not Talk About but really should beneath the levity that makes it sharp. it's gone ugly between them, but I think the affectionate instinct beneath is real and goes back a long way before all of that festered -- it's a form of play he does with people he loves. and uh. not really caterina huh. notably.)

What if during the years Luo Binghe was in the Endless Abyss, Shen Qingqiu not only knelt at the sword mound, but he also started planting white lotuses around the Peak?

It would start slow, just a few lotuses appearing in places they hadn't before, but they were so sparse that no one really took much notice. If they did, who would complain? It was just a flower and a lovely one at that. Their Shizun surely wouldn't mind the sight of them. He had been so distraught after the conference... Best to not trouble him with something so inconsequential.

Slowly more and more of those lotuses began to pop up, spreading to every lake and pond on the Peak. That couldn't be an accident. Never had lotuses grown on Qing Jing Peak before. Perhaps their Shizun commissioned An Ding to plant the lotuses, but for what reason they didn't know. Their Shizun had developed more of an interest in beasts than flora, but even that passion was smothered by his grief. Whatever the reason for the flowers, they must be special.

It wasn't until Ning Yingying informed her shixiong that she had been assisting the Peak Lord in cultivating the lotuses, hoping that it would ease his troubled heart. He had lost his most favored disciple and even after a year, their Shizun still knelt every day at the sword mound when he wasn't avoiding the memories haunting him on the Peak (though they would never speak of such things around their Shizun out of courtesy).

And so, they said nothing about the lotuses. If gardening and caring for the flowers that overtook their lakes and ponds brought comfort to the grieving heart of their Shizun, who were they to rob him of it? He was still in mourning, but when they did chance at seeing him caring so tenderly for the blossoming lotuses, they could see a little bit of that old light return to him, even for just a moment.

At some point, even the common people in the surrounding villages began to whisper about the widow of Qing Jing Peak, endlessly beautiful in his mourning amongst the tall bamboo and pure as snow lotus blooms.

THE HEART KILLERS (2024) episode nine

[nereidof40k]

Yes, she didn’t need that. And due to timing she hasn’t found out what happened to Calth either. Girl might need some booze in her chocolate at that point.

I was going to edit it in, but Chairon was barely admitting his feelings about her when the Battle of Calth happened. Blame Kor Phaeron, Erebus and Lorgar for getting in the way.

Here we go, Calth girl has a name, Mirian Valerius, and a backstory.

Lady Mirian Valerius was born on Calth, not long before the devastating Battle of Calth. The fifth daughter of that noble family. Though her father was the head of the family, Lucius Valerius, and her mother Livia Tullius, was of similarly noble status, being the fifth daughter made her prospects rather distant compared to her elder sisters. Even if she did meet the Guillimans many times.

However, she did take full advantage of her ability to gain a very thorough education, studying everything she could get her hands on, not limiting herself to just what a noble lady should know. This brought her into contact with a young man known as Chairon. She was determined to learn as much about fighting as possible. Though he was reluctant at first, due to her being one of the very noble Valerii, they eventually struck up a friendship.

Though he had at first thought her a persistent pest, he found he actually missed her when she wasn’t around.

So he was actually getting worried when she suddenly stopped coming around. Without sending word, which she always did.

Before he could actually look for her, however, the Battle of Calth and the resulting devastation happened. And his thoughts turned to joining the Ultramarines and taking revenge on the heretics. Which led to him getting involved in Cawl’s Primaris Project.

On Mirian’s part, her family had found her a suitable spouse, so she was being sent off to marry a man she had never met. On Talassar of all places.

But what should have been a simple trip across the sector became a nightmare when the ship was caught in a warp storm. By the time they were spat back into real space, they had been displaced ten thousand years in the future, into a very different Ultramar.

Of course the Inquisition took interest, crew and passengers were thoroughly examined for Chaos corruption, not to mention equally thoroughly investigated for heresy.

Eventually released from durance vile, Mirian found herself on Macragge. Exhausted and confused, she went in search of answers.

To her surprise one of the first people she ran into was Chairon. Now a Primaris Space Marine. However, on first meeting she failed to jog his memory. To her disappointment.

Next, talking to Roboute Guilliman, the only other person whose name she recognized. However, this would bring her into contact with Cato Sicarius. Hopefully he was not a direct descendant of her would have been husband. That might be very awkward.

i think a core component of the okumura twins relationship is that if you told them before the series what happens in the future, they would worry about each other before themselves
