[romanology]

which of these jegulus fics would you like me to begin writing? and/or which one is the most interesting

it turns out I can't make another poll. idk how to feel about that. anyway, well, I'll just write them down then, heehee.

also, I didn't add Winston Morgue because that one is already being written & people like it so... here is The Duality of man as well as A Shutter in the Shuddering as some morbid replacements.

LONG GREY LINE Regulus Black is a retired Lt. Col. in the army. He's blind and impossible to get along with due to his bitter nature. Draco Malfoy is at school and is looking forward to going to college. To help pay for a trip home for Christmas, he agrees to look after Regulus over Thanksgiving, as Regulus is Draco's uncle (sort of) after all, and they had never met. Draco's mother says this will be easy money, but she didn't reckon on Regulus spending his Thanksgiving in New York.

DUALITY OF MAN The Bloodletter Murderer is still on the loose, and James Potter, a resident private investigator, is on the case. When the Malfoy Family is viciously murdered and Come Find Me, Jamesy is written in their blood, James decides enough is enough and brings backup on this increasingly disturbing case. Soon enough, Regulus Black, a nationally celebrated forensic scientist, is beside James while they examine the bodies of his relatives. Of course, the one thing that James doesn't know about his dear friend Regulus is that the man has a secret hobby of calligraphy. Only, the ink always seems to be in blood. [ Murder mystery except we know who the killer is - Hero / Villain ]

KISS THE CHEF Regulus is the loud and proud owner of a Michelin-star restaurant by the name of Au Bon Vivant.

But the boy quickly found out what exactly was supplying his family with so much money over the years. [ chef Regulus Black / mafia boss James Potter - restaurant AU x mafia AU ]

MY CLOSEST YET FURTHEST FRIEND Regulus has always thought the Sun to be his only friend. Always a warm hand on his face while he goes about doing his daily duties, that is who the Sun is to him. He wants to meet the Sun, wants to meet the beauty that is that glowing brightness. Desperately, Regulus Black constructs wings to see his best friend. A pity that wax melts when too close to a fire.

IN THE CLOUDS, YOU LIVE STILL As the Wizarding War continues to surge on for far longer than anybody expected, the Death Eaters, now the losing side, lost their General, Regulus Black.

I don't know if this counts as a prompt but how about the "Only One Bed" trope with Hinata~?

nonnie this is perfect!! thank you sooooo much for the idea heehee i hope this turned out okay!

brazil!hinata, fluff, friends to lovers

-

hinata's bubbling with excitement all day long. through his morning shower, while he took out the garbage, during the practice games this afternoon, and the entirety of the evening, he's been giddy. riding the transit to the airport and dealing with the tense flow of travelers didn't phase him one bit.

now he stands in the airport holding a ridiculously large and vibrant sign with your name in massive letters, right above his head.

the two of you had planned this trip a little over three months ago. hinata had almost reached his two-year mark in brazil, and was getting ready to move home. he asked you to be his travel buddy, even offering to pay for your travel if you would be so kind to accompany him. you couldn't say no, of course, and made plans to fly to see your best friend.

you and hinata met when you were first years, both in the same elective classes. you've been inseparable ever since. you watched every game that you could, despite your own busy schedule. even while he's been gone, weekly facetimes and daily chats have kept you closer than ever.

you'd be lying if you said you weren't a little nervous, though.

over the past two years, you've watched hinata grow from a bouncy, excited teenager into a confident and strong man. he's honed his skills to perfection and it shows. you've seen the streams. you thought he was incredible in high school, but he's got to be the best volleyball player you've ever seen. it's amazing, and you're so proud.

but this confidence has affected more than just his performance.

hinata carries himself in a way that exudes confidence and pride. he's tan, dusted with freckles, and toned muscles that prove the hours of volleyball he's endured. he smiles often, a bright and toothy grin whenever he speaks. hinata is sure of himself. he knows who he is, speaking with a clear voice and tone.

which is much more attractive than you had thought.

you've found yourself thinking about him more, lingering thoughts of his happy grin that follow you throughout the day. you think about his pretty hair and how it shines in the sun during your morning commute. you think about his cheery voice and the nicknames he calls you on your lunch break.

and as you step off of the plane, those thoughts come to a screeching halt.

once off the terminal and into the building, you're hit with the heat of brazil. that combined with the disorientation of it all, you are a little overwhelmed. until a near fluorescent pink sign held up by tan, strong arms and an orange mop of hair catch your eye.

"sho!"

you run, carry on dragging behind you until you meet your best friend. hinata picks you up, squeezing you as tight as he can before setting you down.

"god, i'm so glad to see you. was the flight okay? did i get you good seats? were you able to sleep?"

hinata tucks the sign under his arm, picks your bag up for you, and leads you to the exit. you follow behind him with a laugh.

"yes, yes, and a little bit," you answer while the two of you wait in the shade of the large sign, being put to good use in the evening sun. "did you wait long?"

he shakes his head. "less than twenty minutes. but you know that i would've stayed all day for you."

as the bus pulls and the two of you find a seat, hinata can't sit still. he's been feeling the same way that you have, but he's been able to distract himself until now. the way you say his name feels special, something that he looks forward to on every call. he counts down the hours until your weekly facetimes, heart pounding in anticipation everytime the call rings through.

"so, what's on the agenda shoyo?"

thankfully, that snaps him out of his thoughts and back to you as you rest your hand on his knee to get him from bouncing it.

"sorry," he stills. "well, i figured we could grab something to eat at my place. i don't have any practice until tomorrow, so we can relax tonight and head to the beach tomorrow. i figured you would want to rest after flying all day."

you can't help but smile. years of beach photos and now it's finally your turn to run into those waves he gushes about every day.

"sounds perfect to me. after the house tour i'll change and we can relax."

hinata snorts. "can't wait to show you everything, it will take a whole two minutes!"

you push into his side with your shoulder, rolling your eyes. the bus slows to a stop and hinata stands up, nodding his head towards a set of apartment buildings.

"this is our stop," he sighs, grabbing your hand to lead you off of the bus and across the street. as soon as you are en route for the building, he lets go of your hand. a small wave of tension washes over the two of you, but you're quick to move on. the excitement of seeing your best friend after two years outweighs the newfound feelings.

"okay, first part of the tour," hinata mumbles as his fingers fuss with the lock on his door. he cheers to himself as he finally gets it open, and runs into the middle of the room.

"ta-da!" he puts his arms out and waves his hands. "here's...everything!"

it is quite small, but it's just what he needed. a small kitchen with a couple of bar stools, a large window with an AC unit, and a few photos taped to the fridge. a couple volleyballs sit in what must be the living room, along with his goggles and extra water bottles. he walks to a door adjacent to the front door and laughs.

"so that's my kitchen, obviously. and then this was my living room, but i already sold my couch and chairs,"

you stop walking and give him a confused stare.

"wait, you got rid of your couch? what am i going to-"

"here's my room. that's the bathroom," he points towards another door which is next to a large map of japan taped to the wall. the other walls are decorated as well, with photos of friends and family and other photos he enjoyed. some scenery from home, photos he snapped at the beach, and some volleyball posters as well. hinata scratches his head. "i know it's pretty small, but i didn't need much. but, if you need towels they're in here, and-"

"shoyo."

"the AC unit is perfect, too. if you need it turned up just let me know-"

"shoyo."

he stops finally, hand reached towards his small closet door when he turns to you.

"what's up?"

"you got rid of your couch?"

he laughs, flopping onto his bed. "yeah! two days ago. it was a pain in the ass to get down the stairs," he shakes his head, remembering how ridiculous the whole thing was.

"why did you do that?"

now he returns your confused look. tilting his head to the side, he looks at you. your arms are folded across your chest, your boarding passes still in your hand from earlier. a habit you clearly haven't let go of.

"what do you mean? i'm moving home next week, and i can't take it with me."

"shoyo, i was going to sleep on the couch."

hinata's smile falters slightly as the realization sets in. you're right, he was going to sell it the day before the two of you left. the busyness of the past few days caused that to slip his mind, selling it to his downstairs neighbor.

he swallows. normally, this wouldn't be a huge deal. the two of you have had tons of sleepovers before. but something is different now. something that he doesn't want to ruin.

"you can take my bed. i can just sleep on the floor, i don't mind at all!"

you shake your head, shuffling to join him on the bed. "it's your bed, sho. i'm not going to do that to you!"

"you're my guest, what sort of host would i be to make you sleep on the floor? c'mon, it's my fault i sold the couch to begin with. you can take the bed, i promise."

you play with your fingers for a moment, deciding what you're going to say for a bit.

"we could share," you suggest, voice quiet. when you look up at him, hinata's cheeks are dusted pink. he clears his throat.

"i-if you're okay with it, of course."

you nod. "i don't mind. it would keep us both comfortable."

hinata nods, hoping you don't hear the pounding of his heart in his chest. honestly, he would like nothing more than to keep you close. many nights, especially over the last few months, he's awake with thoughts of holding you, keeping you tight to him as you count the stars.

"well, i'll start dinner. feel free to shower, change, whatever you want."

"is that your way of telling me that i stink?"

hinata laughs out loud, throwing his extra pillow toward you before heading to the kitchen. god, he missed you. he missed your wit, your laugh, and the way your nose scrunches when he tells a bad joke. he missed everything about you, but he can't find the words to tell you.

the two of you spend the night playing cards on his living room floor, sharing stories of silly things that occurred over the last few weeks. hinata showed you a few photos he took a couple days ago, and laughed as he retold the stories behind them. before you knew it, it was almost 2:30 am, which meant it was time to go to bed.

the two of you had been putting it off as long as possible. but, with the way you rest your head in your hands between games, hinata knows it's time.

"i have extra blankets in the closet if you need them," he points from the bathroom, toothbrush hanging from his lips. you nod, moving your things out of your suitcase to keep busy. you're hoping to distract yourself as much as you can. "i'm going to shower really quick, but make yourself comfortable. i'll keep quiet," he closes the door all but a crack, the warm light escaping onto the bed like a spotlight.

you do as he says, getting comfortable underneath the blankets as far to the side as possible. as soon as your head hits the pillow, you begin to fall under. hinata's warm scent envelopes you and you feel safe, the hours of travel finally catching up to you as you shut your eyes.

you're not sure how long it's been before hinata joins you, sliding into bed as carefully as he can. he lies on his back for a while, trying to decide if he should hold you or keep his distance. the smell of his body wash causes you to stir a little, and without thinking hinata pulls your back to his chest.

you hum, very groggily as you feel the warmth of his bare skin on you. after a moment your eyes snap open as you realize the situation.

"i didn't mean to wake you, i'm sorry," he whispers, voice close to your ear in the position the two of you are in.

"it's okay," you breathe, scared if you move that he will push away.

a few minutes pass, the two of you unmoving and listening to the sounds of your rapid heartbeats, slowly beginning to beat as one.

"i'm sorry about the couch," hinata whispers once more, voice raspy with sleep. "but i like having you close."

your lips part slightly at the confession. your mind is swimming, shocked at the fact that he feels the same. you start to speak, but nothing comes out. instead, you reach for his hand with yours, softly pulling it wraps around you in wordless accord. hinata pulls you closer, a silent reassurance that he feels the same.

"goodnight, shoyo," you sigh, leaning back into his chest. shakily, he leans forward to place a kiss on the back of your head.

"goodnight," he says into the night. the two of you drift off to sleep, feelings pushed aside for the time being. for now, hinata finally holds you close, and falls asleep with a smile.

[bunny-hoodlum]

Hey I love your writing! You come up with amazing concepts and scenarios! I think your 21 Days was the first NaruHina AU I ever read and I was HOOKED!!! I was wondering if you're planning to update that story? It's okay if not I'm just being nosy lol. Anywho I look forward to reading more of your writing! it's always fun reading your stories💕💕💕

Hii! ☺️ Awww, thank you so much!! 🥹💕 It makes me so happy to have my ideas validated, heehee. 🤭 I'm so glad you enjoy them!!

So, for a little while now, I had lost interest in it, and wasn't sure if I was gonna revisit it or not. But I was just asked about this fic recently in Discord and I also remembered the unresolved subplot involving Neji I had planned, ironically thanks to some no-life Hinata-hater on here tumblr, and the amount of angst that subplot is gonna bring. 🤭 So my interest has been renewed, yay!

But I can't bring myself to raise it high on my priority list just yet. 🥲 I have AWY, Work Friends, Idle Hands reboot, Stepdaddy!Naruto DILF fic, Narutoland... and I'm kinda looking at finally editing Runner's High and starting it again...🫠 It's a looooot. 😅 I want to update each of these at least once within the next three months if I'm lucky. 😭 After that, not sure which ones will be my regular focus. I'd like AWY and Idle Hands to for sure be up there tho. I guess Work Friends and Runner's High after that. DILF fic and Narutoland... 🤔

And I'm kinda starting something new that I'll try to keep a one-shot. Shhhh! 🤫

Yeah, that's what my focus is looking like rn. 😅

Thank you so much for the ask! 💕💕💕

[revolvingfanatic]

I absolutely love your "I Do Not Fear Death" fanfic!🤩 The dynamic between Puss and Death was so cute, which made the fight between the two all the more painful😖

But I gotta ask, will you ever update the fic? It's been a while since the previous chapter's release. 🤔 There's no rush from me tho, just wondering since I really loved reading your story😃

Heehee, thank you!💖 I’m definitely happy to hear it had the intended sucker punch effect I was going for 😈 I tried to make it hurt as much as possible 😇✨

And yes, I definitely do plan on updating at some point; and have in fact been chipping away at the penultimate chapter, but I have a lot going on right now so it's been slow-going. Classes, and a recent car crash (I got T-boned by someone running a stop sign ಠ_ಠ) that I have legal stuff and physical therapy and junk to deal with are taking up most of my time, but I really enjoy writing, and NEED to finish this fic!! Plus a close friend of mine did a beautiful piece of artwork for the next chapter and I’m excited to show that off 🖼️ 🥹

Thanks again for your kind words and inquiry, and I look forward to seeing what you think of the next chapter! ✨(whenever that will end up being 😆)

Dev Diaries

March 5th, 2024

So. We're 3 months into the new year. Huh.

Updates from me? I started a new job! I've been reading/catching up on a toooooon of manga lately (I'm also sloooooowly making my way through a nonfiction read and can't help thinking how Corey would heavily sympathize with me. Sigh.)

I also got another free month of Spotify (lol, I think I'm the only person I know who only uses the free plan because I'd rather spend that money elsewhere??) so I've been on a listening spree and flagging songs for a writing playlist I will use for the majority of the HSDJY 2 drafting process moving forward.

I still have yet to play BG3. My family gifted me the physical edition, so I've been impatiently waiting for it to ship out. It's been 84 years JFJEHFJHJF!!

Hmmm...nothing else interesting has happened to me (that I can publicly share ☠️) so on with the game development updates!!!!!

What Has Gemini Been Up To? -> TKD (again)

March 16th!!! Y'all, this is the deadline the team and I are working towards for a finished and published game ��� unfortunately my plans for full voice work won’t be realized by then (but they will be realized. Just in a few months. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if y'all get the updated HSD 2 demo before the fully voiced TKD….)

What Has Gemini Been Up To? -> HSD:JY and Ko-fi

Ko-fi first!!

It’s only been a few months (since November??) but I’m super proud of my posting consistency! Granted, I’m a little anxious about how posts will look moving forward once I start moving major updates and general silliness to Tumblr. But. We shall cross the bridge when it appears.

March snuck up on me and I only have the free and any-paid-support ready, but the subbies are just There™️. That being said...when I'm quiet or posting non-Hummingbird content here, there's 99.9% chance I've made a free post on ko-fi.

Tumblr is looking like the other social media platforms right now with its flagrant support of AI, and it gives me a headache trying to decide how to keep everyone informed as well as share posts from my peers and new kids on the block. Anyhoo!!!

High School Daze goodies??

At the time of this post, a couple things have been happening that I haven't had the time (or the energy) to talk about. The obvious? HIGH SCHOOl DAZE: JUNIOR 2 HAS AN ITCH.IO PAGE!! I...have no idea when the full game will be out. I have an idea...but I don't want to say it and feel obligated to make that deadline just so I don't disappoint players. (I'm well aware that some people took one look at Crushed, went "Aww, that's nice, Gemini. Now where's HSD??" 🤣)

The first round of sprites have been commissioned!! If you peeped the key art (also done by my sprite artist, heehee she's lovely) you might notice some new outfits, some new hairdos. Fingers crossed I'll be able to update the page--to mirror the debut game's page--at the same time the new demo goes live (which will showcase all of or at least 75% of the common route of the full game. Stay tuned to find out if we'll focus on the friendship route or if I can defeat the Coding Monster to include all the variations for the romances too aha).

Writing wise? Five of the six total routes are outlined. (Florence's I've…barely started 🥲…this pre-production thing is kicking my ass). I’ve started drafting out the friendship route too, as seen by the random posts I’ve made about HSDJY 2. Well, a combination of friendship route + the common route with its lovely variations that aren’t a nuisance at all. Nope. *eye twitch*

I alsooooooo discovered that all the raw and edited music I created for HSD and for personal projects over the years using GarageBand were deleted. And I never backed them up. So. The tracks I made, the jingle for the splash screen, the main theme and it's 2 variations, and alllllll the little cute things I made that are as old as my own high school days are....gone.

Poof!

If I sound very calm about this, what an astute observation! But my anxiety is being used elsewhere, and I decided that I while I can't go back to the original files to tweak them, I've backed up the other files. And I don't mind starting from scratch with this.

But also y'all, please back up your shit. Please. Don't be caught slipping.

That poll I made a while back that now has results and I totally didn't forget about?? The boys won!! And I'm not surprised 🤣 I haven't decided yet if I'll do a live developer stream or a prerecorded one, but either way it'll happen closer to October, the 2nd anniversary date.

What Will Gemini be Up To?? -> Rest?!?!?

I assumed a lot of things about what would be done or not done by March, and that led me to loosely block out March as a 'rest' month. I wouldn't work on any projects, and instead would read, play console and computer games, and basically take the break I didn't take in December.

Well. The Knight Dance is still in production. And I commissioned sprites earlier than expected. And I didn't plan enough ko-fi content to be scheduled in my absence. LOL and I started a new job!? 🥹

But!!! But but but, I do need to take some type of break so I'll do my best to be scarce in this space (and lower the temptation to work because I see y'all are working LOL). Cool? Cool!

- Gemini 💛

Bed Friend episode 8 thoughts

Firstly it really did have a finale vibe, I wouldn't have been mad if they wrapped it up here and I hope they pull off the extra two episodes well.

But I was mad about how Krit was handled. Not only did King invade Uea's privacy by watching that horrible video, he also spread it to the whole office??? I would never want a video of my assault to be passed around like this, especially if I was a private person like Uea. This just. yuck. I didn't like that it was presented as a great savior move, I didn't like that it wasn't even acknowledged that it might be stepping out of line and I didn't like that Uea wasn't mad about it at all. Literally just this episode he gave emphasis about asking his permission before doing anything so ...??

Then again when they were back at the office and everyone was talking about it like 😬😬😬 why can't people be more sensitive?

And then King also outed their relationship to all the coworkers which ??? You can't just fucking do this Jesus (but also, looking forward to Jade barking in front of the office heehee )

The Lampang dating montage was cute af, yes please more of that :') so glad they finally had an honest conversation about their feelings!!!

But also, Uea's being a little shit about all the waiting thing which - GOOD. I hope he's the BIGGEST shit about it, it's what he deserves:')

Glad the big boss is a sensible dude (except when he put his hand on Uea's shoulder ldkjssf).

Their conversation where Uea tells him about his past trauma was just incredible. The way King just sits and listens and looks sympathetic but doesn't interrupt, letting him finish and then saying he's going to support him? *chef's kiss*

Also yes!!! Get meds and improve your mental health!!!!!

This is such a positive change from the novel where pretty early on Uea mentioned he went to see a psychiatrist about his phobia of the dark, tried to take meds but it didn't help so he stopped.

I don't know how I feel about the extra plotline they're doing with Uea's stepdad... I'm glad that this time at least King ASKED if he can do something about it, and I understand the importance of getting justice for the victims!! BUt also after Uea's last visit home... oooof he's supposed to never interact with them again

All in all, I'm glad for the way their relationship is going, super mad about King's disregard for Uea's privacy >:( and glad about the start of the healing process :' )

I'm also not really into the Boom storyline which feels very redundant and unnecessary at this point, Uea can just say he's not interested/has a bf (which I thought King already made common knowledge to everyone this episode....).It might just be there to help Uea admit his and King's relationship status and the preview is being dramatic with jealousy on purpose, but we'll see..

well, first and foremost - i'm so glad to have met you! when we started writing opposite on chris, i immediately had so much fun with our thread(s) and general ooc interactions. your positivity is infectious (which is funny cause resident evil heehee) - you go above and beyond when it comes to being a polite and kind person to chat with. like, from talking to you about our muses to chatting real life, i just always have such fun talking to you. i love hearing about your work shenanigans (wink, wonk) and i love partnering up various muses with your girls (istg, gib me all your girls).

plotting-wise; the plots we discuss and have discussed / written have been so interesting & i love the way that we can just bounce off of each other with ease. i never feel an awkward silence or indecision with you, you're confident and you're fun.

i LOVE the directions you take with your girls & the fact that you can swap between someone like mother miranda to mia with absolute ease. i am really looking forward to writing opposite you with these lads ( i JUST NOW saw an ask response pffft so pls forgib me for getting to that slowly! ) - but yeah, honestly, vix - you're just a treasure. i'm so glad to have met you and i hope we write for many more moons to come. you're a legend <3 ))

Down the Tunnel: Part 1.

Well, that didn’t go very well, did it?

Problems?

Yeah. Shuichi is getting all rebellious. He’s openly rebuked Kuripa and now things are even more tense between us.

*sigh* Great, that’s about the last thing we need right now. 

How are things on your end, Mekaru?

I’m trying, but things aren’t going to well. One of your boys already ran forward and informed me about the Carbyne doors. Regrettably, not even the Kisaragi Foundation are prepared to break through something like that.

We could probably make a drill strong enough to eventually break through it, but that would take a fair amount of time. Time that we don’t have.

While we’re on the topic, can I pose a...arguably insensitive question?

Go on?

Why are we so focused on this situation. If tensions are rising, isn’t it best to cut down on the amount of men we have here?

Kaede Akamatsu is clearly someone you care about, and I understand that, but with Zetsubou growing stronger every day, are we not wasting time trying to save the life of a single girl.

...

...I understand that you may see things that way...but it’s not quite so simple.

Kaede Akamatsu is more than just another ally of ours. 

What do you mean?

I’m not quite sure what it is but...Tsumugi Shirogane clearly bears a major grudge against Kaede. The lab was shut down specifically to lock her inside, I’ll bet.

Was it not to trap the three of us?

Kuripa and Munakata are definitely heavy targets to Shirogane, but this isn’t the first time she’s concocted a plan against Akamatsu specifically. 

And think about it. If the intention was to trap more than one of us, why didn’t Shirogane wait until there were more people inside. Moreover, how come she hasn’t sent any troops to dispose of the camp?

It’s because she got what she wished.

I see...when you put it like that, I understand...But why the resentment?

We don’t know, but one fact is very clear. Kaede Akamatsu is looking like a big piece of the puzzle right now...

Seems she always has been, even back when everyone first met her.

Which is why we need to save her. Shirogane feels like she will benefit somehow from her demise, which means we need to do whatever we can to prevent that.

Hence why breaking open this lab and rescuing her has become priority number one.

...

Still not sure, Ms Mekaru?

No, no, it’s ok. Even if I were to oppose, I’m only here for backup. Not to call the shots.

And it’s not like I want the girl to die either. I’m just saying, in our line of work, sacrifices have to be made.

Well they don’t in ours. 

Have you had any luck in finding a way to communicate with Kaede?

Why don’t you take a guess?

If it helps in any way, Akamatsu had her phone on her when we went inside the lab. I don’t know if it still have any battery, but if there’s something to communicate with her with, you might want to start with that.

A phone, huh?

We did already try calling her normally. Setsuka saved her number following the Sannoji incident.

We’ve concluded that there’s some sort of communications barrier around the lab, but...it’s a very unique one.

Unique how?

I can answer this. It’s one of the few things I’m actually knowledgeable about.

*Ando steps forward.

An AI system is in place in the lab that receives both incoming and outgoing communications. It runs the data by, then scans them for whether or not they’re “safe” or not. 

And if they’re not, they get blocked.

Yes. That’s how Zetsubou were able to contact the Monokubs and myself, but prevent any other communications, such as the Future Foundation, from getting in.

...!?

I see...That’s a pretty thorough system.

I believe Zetsubou use the same system for their base.

Wait, hold on a second. You’re saying an AI is being used to block any conversations not related to Zetsubou’s work, right?

Yes, that’s right.

Therefore...a STRONGER AI can be used to break that block, yeah?

...!

RaRa, what are you saying?

Heehee! I might just have a plan!

*Yoruko takes her phone out of her shirt pocket and holds it out in front of her so everyone can see Sora on the screen.

Believe it or not, while I was floating around in Cyberspace after my recreation, I actually encountered a similar system in the Kisaragi base. Not as thorough, but a similar concept.

After we lost Yamato, we have to put something in as a placeholder. You were originally intended to replace is Sora, but I changed my mind so you could be with Yoruko.

And I am eternally grateful for that, but here’s what I mean.

I might not be able to break the AI barrier...but I might be able to keep it open long enough to establish contact with Kaede.

Really!?

No guarantee’s...But I’m damn well ready to give it a try.

Why haven’t you tried it already?

...Eeeeeeh...Well, see, THAT’S the catch.

I DID try it already. That’s why I asked Yoruko to get close to the lab earlier...But it didn’t work...

So...I’ve come to a conclusion, and I’m pretty sure not everyone’s gonna like it.

...What is it?

*sigh* Alright...

I do think I can open the barrier...But I can’t do it from out here.

In other words...you need to do it from the inside?

Right. And if we have a half-decent laptop on site, we can do it.

All you’d have to do is establish a virtual connection to the barrier itself, then shoot me down the pipe! Like...firing me out of a cannon!

If I get past the barrier, I can look around the tech system in the lab. If I can locate Kaede’s phone, I can jump in it! And then I can open the barrier from there!

Fire you inside? Wait then...how are you gonna get out?

Aaahaha...That’s the funny part...I’m not.

What!?

If we do this, I’m gonna be in the exact same position as Kaede. I’ll be trapped in the lab with no way out unless we can find another firing point to establish a connection.

WHAT!?

*Yoruko grabs her phone.

You couldn’t have mentioned that EARLIER!?

I-I knew you would panic, ok!? 

Oh yeah, that makes EVERYTHING better!

Look, the whole point of doing it like this is to make sure Kaede’s safe, alright!? If she’s safe, I’LL be safe!

What if her phone breaks!? You said yourself you couldn’t navigate the system, so you’ll die if it breaks!

Yoruko-

Seriously Sora, why didn’t you bring that up!? If you had I would never have considered it!

Yeah, that’s...primarily WHY I didn’t bring it up before now!

LADIIIIIES!

!!??

!!??

*Kuripa’s shout breaks them up.

Yoruko, I get that you’re worried. I would be too.

But if Sora can get to Akamatsu, she’s going to be perfectly fine. Kaede wouldn’t let her one source of company just die like that. She’ll do whatever it takes to protect her.

Are you sure?

This isn’t something I admit lightly but...*sigh* She’s really tough. 

If she can take a beating from me, she can survive basically anything. And she can protect Sora, just like she did me.

You really like sucking your own dick, huh Kurafto?

I fucking-! Can I like...compliment my sidekick without you being a twat!?

I’m only messing. Believe me, even before you trained her, Kaede’s a tough cookie. I believe in her, so I think we all should.

...

I just...

I know Yoruko...I know you’re worried. But think about this. You’re worried that you might run the risk of losing me again, right?

Well, the same is true for Kaede and Shuichi. He had to watch her die once before too, you know...

This...in any other context sounds ridiculous, but if we somehow don’t survive this, you aren’t going to be the only person who had to watch someone they love die more than once.

Even if this doesn’t work out the way I want it to...Just knowing that she has some company in there to help...I think that might do us all some good, him especially.

I know...I know...

Everyone else just keeps throwing themselves into these dangerous situations, I just thought you might be the exception...

What ever made you think that? I live for this shit!

I don’t know...I should’ve known better...

So we’re doing this? Sounds like a plan to me!

There is just one problem. None of us here are particularly tech savvy. And we don’t really have any high quality laptops here.

Aren’t you the one who resuscitated Sora’s AI in the first place?

Doesn’t mean AI technology and programming is my forte. I had a lot of help on it.

???: Ahem...

Huh?

Huh?

*Someone clears their throat for attention, prompting everyone to turn their heads.

Sounds like it’s my time to shine~

You were eavesdropping, Agent 404?

Force of habit, I apologize. But hey, I think I can help.

Does this look any good?

*Rantaro reaches into a bag and pulls out a relatively large and clean looking laptop.

OOOH!

You, fine sir, just keep getting cooler!

Hehe...Glad someone appreciates me.

Do you think you can do it Rantaro?

I’m pretty sure I can. But I just want to make this clear.

I’m sure you’re already fully aware of this, but if I do this, and I send you into the lab system...I can’t bring you back out again. You’ll be stuck in there forever if we can’t rescue Kaede.

That’s a risk I’m willing to take. 

Kaede’s my friend. Something of a...kindred spirit. I’d do anything to help her out of a situation like this.

Ok, just so you’re aware.

Let’s get to work~

I've been looking forward to the strawberry shortcake from the nearby pastry shop for months... but when I saw the chocolate mousse I couldn't resist... Obvs it's meant for valentine's day, but when your birthday is right next to a holiday you get used to every birthday present involving hearts and chocolate lol. I'm desensitized. Anyway, so I ate two pieces of cake... at least they're small? heehee

The chocolate was, tbh, nothing special... you can get the same quality at the conbini, sad to say. Most of the cost went into the fruit, but also the heart-shaped container, which I thought was edible but is actually ceramic! I'm gonna wash it and keep it. Mostly I was tempted by the blueberry, which was so juicy and blueberry-y.

The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Saved the big strawberry for last of course. But, as much as I liked it, I enjoyed the strawberries so much more than the cake... that now I wish I'd just bought fresh strawberries lol (which would have cost about the same as the cake slice). Or the strawberry tart which had a lot of strawberries instead of just a few pieces and the single whole one.

All in all good eats <3 Didn't do anything special for dinner, but last night bf and I made pesto chicken pasta, and he went and got good ingredients, in particular parmigiano reggiano that he had to also buy a cheese grater for... It was excellent. And he made home made garlic bread. We both overate lol but it was worth it.

also yes I posed the cakes on my laptop lmao. i was too lazy to turn on the lights buhahahaha also i like to live dangerously

Not to get all sappy on New Year's Eve, but after replying to a couple Catalyst comments, I've decided to give a public thanks rather than one contained within a comment thread.

-

Catalyst has been just as of much of an experience for me as it has for you, the Catalyst Enjoyers (as I've dubbed you, and as I refer to you to my irl's)— if not more.

Syzygy was my first multi-chapter fic, as well as the longest thing I had ever written before Catalyst. It clocks in at 43k words spanning over the course of 6 chapters, and was written during my summer holiday. There wasn't much engagement with the readers during the Syzygy experience. I would respond to the comments, of course, but that's all I got. No fanart, no world analysis, no asks, nothing (absolute no shade to the Syzygy enjoyers. They are my little guys. My skrimblos. My day 1's).

Comparing it to the Catalyst experience, it feels almost sad. It feels as if I've built a small community with Catalyst— one with talented artists and talented writers— and just having this little community feels so freaking cool. It's everything I ever wanted as a fanfic author and more.

When I started writing fanfic 6 (nearing 7) years ago, interacting with my readers and seeing them create ideas and works of their own based off my writing was always my dream.

You have made that dream a reality, and I thank you all endlessly for it.

The Catalyst experience has genuinely been wild for me in the best ways possible. I was temporarily living with one of my friends when I started writing it— in fact, he even helped me choose the title 'Catalyst'— and to this day, whenever I see him, he asks me how Catalyst is going and reminds me of my humble beginnings— my first comments, my first fanart, all of it.

Catalyst has evolved substantially within its lifetime, starting at a projected finish date of sometime in early September, then late November, and now hopefully sometime within 2023. It's been so interesting to reminisce on the past evolutions and look at it where the story is now— which I can say I'm actually proud of.

Catalyst is more than just my silly little summer writing project now. It's an experience that I've been able to share with all of you, and one that would certainly not be the same without you. Seriously, I can't imagine Catalyst without the enjoyers.

It's just been fun for me, and hopefully fun for you. Seeing the reblogs on the Catalyst link chain tagged with "#catalyst saturday" never fails to make me smile. Every notification I receive telling me that I've been sent an ask makes me jump a little with excitement, and every piece of artwork (whether it be in the form of visual art or writing) sends me over the moon.

You guys are cool, and I appreciate your continuous support throughout this year. Thank you for sticking with me through all these Saturdays, and I look forward to your support in the future.

Also, to anyone who's made it this far, here, take this paragraph from chapter 19 (don't read if you don't want spoilers heehee hoo):

They don’t speak to one another— not with words, at least. There are some shared, knowing looks, sharp exhales through the nose, and fond smiles. And then there’s pinkies linking together in the miniscule gap between them, and Tubbo feels like the dumb teenager he is, fumbling through this weird world of relationships that are more than platonic but less than romantic, trying to find the acceptable middle ground that may or may not exist. He laughs to himself a bit— because this really is kind of stupid, I mean, for all the time Tubbo spends thinking about what it would be like to kiss the guy, you’d think Tubbo would have at least tried to ask. But no, he’s still struggling to hold Ranboo’s hand like they used to, and he thinks that getting back to where they once were might involve a few baby steps, too.

Again, thank you all <3

Sincerely,

freezethebeez

ANOTHER RANDOM OBJECT SHOW

Season 1, Episode 12 - A Spoonful of Cheating

“Guys?” Sunny says, sadly. “GyroGyro hasn't moved in a while, and he keeps escaping to Team Merge! :-(“ Sunny says. “That and we haven't been able to find Penta ANYWHERE!” Phantom sighs. “Cuby! Know anything?”

Cuby shakes, nervous to tell the truth, but is cut off by Penta howling from within the Gyroid.

“Wait… was that..?” Question Mark realizes…

“GYROGYRO!! :D” Sunny cheered. “No, sweetie, that's Penta… PENTA, ARE YOU IN THERE??” Starry says.

The Gyroid SCREAMS now, begging for release.

“Moony, help!” Starry pleads, leading to Moony grabbing Lunartic, who provoked by the sound, screams— “SHUT UP!” and shatters GyroGyro.

Penta is released once more, and goes towards The Gourd. “GOURD! RECOVER GYROGYRO!” He shouts. “Are you sure? You have 3 Grants from the times Team “What?” scored 1st in a challenge so—!” Penta cut The Gourd off. “RECOVER!”

The Gourd recovered The Gyroid, which immediately began entrapping the former inhabitant of the vessel.

GyroGyro now stood still, unmoving. “...is he OK?” Cloudy asks, concerned. “I’m not sure…” The Gourd sighed. “Let's move on for now!” The Gourd now prepared to announce the next challenge.

“TEAMS!” He said, now teleporting everyone into their respective teams. “Today’s challenge is based on a film I saw, we’ll be using Umbrellas to…” The Gourd launched himself onto the Floating Islands, then cut the Tightrope from Episode 2. “Cross this gap! Failure to get across will count as failure!” The Gourd stated. “Who wants to go first?”

Penta raises his hand, before being disqualified with Cloudy. “He could fly.” The Gourd sighs. “Anyone else?”

Lunartic then pushed Starry forward. “Wait, what—?!” Starry says, before being handed an umbrella. “...alright… I guess I’ll try…” She sighed, before running towards the gap and jumping. “Oh, oh-hohohoh!” She laughed as she flew onto the platform. “STARRY’S SAFE!” The Gourd announced.

“GOD!” Lunartic growls, now pushing Question Mark off. “Oh, uh… guess she's out.” The Gourd looks down. “GODDAMNIT!” Question Mark yells.

Phantom went as this was going on, and got across. “Here we are!” Phantom now pulls Tragedy out from behind him. “Was that so hard?” Phantom says. “I miss Comedy. :-(“ Tragedy replies.

“Phantom and Tragedy are safe!” The Gourd says.

Cuby now jumped, being lightweight and getting across, House followed using GyroGyro as a booster , pushing him down into the ground below, and barely making it. “NONONO—” House now gets grabbed by Cuby, just before he can fall down. “CUBY! HOUSE! You two are safe.” The Gourd says. “THANKS MANNNnn..” House sighs in relief, with Cuby nodding.

When Moony went, Lunartic proceeded to throw Period at her, resulting in her and Period being disqualified, to which Period took negatively, as they said— “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! THAT’S UNFAIR!! HE LITERALLY THREW ME AT HER??” Period argued. “I never clarified on friendly fire…” The Gourd said. “Either way. Lunartic made it across.” The Gourd showed that Lunartic had now made it across.

“Mime! Go ahead!” Phantom encouraged. Mime now turned into Paperplates, since she was lightweight, and flew across onto the platform. “Heehee! Oh, light is so fun! <)” Mime said, now turning back. “MIME! YOUR SAFE! Sunny, finally, come across!”

Sunny landed safely, but then spotted Lunartic berating Starry. “...mom?” Sunny spoke. “Don't be ridiculous, Moony’s down there.” Lunartic spoke. “I meant Starry, not you. >:(“ Sunny said, now pushing Lunartic away, and off the platform.

“Oh!! Anyways, since only 3 Funmates made it across compared to the entirety of Team Merge, Team FUN! is up for elimination!” The Gourd announced, now teleporting everyone onto the ground.

“That's IT! We’re getting RID of Lunartic! I’M TIRED OF HIM!” Period says, throwing a fit. “Calm down—” Question Mark asks. “NO! He’s right! He's AWFUL! How can we even stand him?! He’s gotten rid of Exclamation Mark, and he constantly abused me!” Moony says. “...you know what, Moony’s right. If even Moony gets angry over something, then it's worth addressing.” Starry sighs. “I wish we had gotten rid of him instead of The Colon Duo.” Sunny looks to the floor. “...but! Now is the time to get rid of him, LET’S VOTE!!” Sunny rushes to the Elimination Ceremony.

“GOURDDDD!!” Sunny cheered, running towards The Gourd. “What's happened?” The Gourd asked. “Huh? Oh, no, I just wanted to start the Elimination Ceremony early!” Sunny requests.

“You have a vote in mind already?!” He says. “Yep! Everyone else does too!” Sunny cheerfully claims. “Ah, I see.. go… uh… summon your team! …OH! RIGHT!” The Gourd revived GyroGyro. “Now!”

“ELIMINATION CEREMONY TIME, FUNNERS!! C’MON!! X)” Sunny cheered as he summoned Team FUN!

“Alright, Team FUN! …I uh… didn't have time to prepare a speech, BUT! You all have a vote in mind apparently, SO!” The Gourd now points to the Elimination Booth. “Make a vote!”

Sunny is the first to run into the booth, where he immediately voted for Lunartic, followed by Question Mark, Period, Moony, Starry, and even Cloudy voting against Lunartic.

However, when Lunartic went in, the booth suddenly caught ablaze, and Lunartic came out screaming. “OHGODOHFUCK” Lunartic screamed as The Gourd now began to summon buckets of water to pail on him. “OHEJDUAIIJNNNSKKAN”

Once Lunartic was extinguished, and the Booth was destroyed, The Gourd sighed deeply. “Well, without a booth, I can't count votes.” He shook his head before Lunartic groaned something— “I… I have… thee.. votes.” He said.

“Wow, he actually did something nice?” Cloudy said. “I wouldn't be sure, Loonie is… uhm… mean. :-(“ Sunny said.

The Gourd now counted them, seeming surprised. “Well. With a near-unanimous vote, I am announcing THAT… the eliminated contestant ranking at 15th is…” The Gourd now cleared his throat, seemingly in inconfidence, before…

He revealed the icon of Starry, and said— “Starry, with no other way to validate an actual vote right now, I have to eliminate you.” The Gourd sighed. “But, hey! At least Sunny and Moony didn't vote for you…?” The Gourd now turned Starry into a star in the night sky.

“...but we didn't vote her out either..?” Period says over The Gourd’s monologue. “We know…” Moony said, before scowling. “We need to get rid of him, and FAST.” Cloudy stated.

“...and hopefully a new booth, NEXT TIME!” The Gourd finally closes the episode, with the lights turning off.

END.

AROS was written and created by TheWiseGuest.

FIN.

“..well, we’re here!” Starry proclaimed. “Great! …uh…” Earth started to tremble. “Starry, I— what… what IS moondust?” Earth said.

“..I… I don't know…” Starry said, horrified as Earth began to fall apart in front of her, their screams echoing. “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

i don't know"

wise.

[starryandpied]

Hey Jude! It's perfectly fine, I don't mind :)) My day was kinda busy too. I went to Korean barbeque! It was amaaazing 🤤🤤 Bulgogi is the best. Hehe, I was also looking forward to talking to you though, I kept checking my phone all day ( ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠) Wishing you luck and joy for tomorrow! 🍀✨

Man, I love your Tyler gifs haha 🧡 How do you always have the perfect ones??

I absolutely will show off your drawings! This new year has good vibes already :)) Cheers to hoping it continues! Haha, yeah, I get the procrastination. Definitely not doing that with my fic right now 👀 It's percolating, I'm letting it simmer! But yeah, I'd love to watch your video! Hmmm, I'll find a place to watch that movie :)) Aah, I'd love to nerd out about One Piece with you! Let me know if you want me to tag spoilery stuff for you kay? Especially on my reblog account!

Eh, I can talk at my roomies about my special interests. Just not really with them, you know? They're both neurodivergent as well, but we share basically zero special interests in common, and the two of them share basically all of theirs. They'll listen to me, and I really appreciate that, but they don't really get it, so it's not as fun as it could be.

Oh, yeah, my parents sucked, so I really needed to get away from them. I pretty much had a years long breakdown afterward, and I'm just now learning to be ok again. Or more like what it really even means for me to be ok. It's like learning to walk on land after a lifetime at sea.

I'm rooting for you to find a place of your own! 😄😄

Oh man, yeah, it sucks when shows get cut short these days :// I'll find a place to watch that too! Heehee, I'm building a list!

Death Note is sad! But it's such a masterpiece! I really gotta finish it one of these days (⁠.◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠.)

Oh my god, Free!! I love that show! I gotta binge watch it all again, it's been years. Have you ever watched 50% Off? 😄😄 Also, my cousin (one of my roommates) cosplayed Iwatobi-chan once! It's one of the best cosplays she ever did. It was iconic! Haha, dan and phil would love them 🩵🩵 Never forget dan's haru body pillow.

Inuyasha is great! Although, I am biased. I watched it when I was like 12 I think. But it's also very worth it. Inuyasha was one of my first big character crushes 🩵 And it has such a good love story and world building.

I also loved my second ever anime, Rurouni Kenshin. It has such good vibes! It's also a really interesting period peace for the Meiji era of Japan, which is a very interesting era in general. I really related to the main character, Kenshin, as a kid. I kinda kinned him a little. I used to say he was like the male version of me. And now I am male, lol!

Yeah, I don't really know much about the indie web either. But I watched a video essay on it recently, and it seems really cool! As far as I understand it, it's like a little corner of the web that's like the old internet. Neocities has personal customizable little websites that people have coded, and someone even made a myspace clone I think! I might try it someday if I learn to code (⁠◍◔⁠‿⁠◔◍⁠)

Oh man, I'd love to watch your youtube channel! Consider me an immediate subscriber!

Heheh, yeah, pen pals!

Your pen pal,

Starry

Howdy, Jude! What's good? :)

(this is a modified version of the game "what doin'", in which you ask your friends "what doin'?" and it facilitates a conversation. I never know what to ask about in asks, so I'm playing what doin'. But I figure asking "what doin'?" would probably provide a boring answer like eating food, so I modified it to "what's good?" which pretty much opens up the floor for you to talk about what ever is good in your life right now :)). Sorry if this seems very autistic, I'm probably very autistic, and I decided to embrace it today.)

Omg hiiii Starry! (Idk if thats cool i love all your names lmk) :3

Im so glad u sent this im also very autistic so i have a hard time initiating conversation. 😆 As for whats good in my life right now hehe um🤔 my cat 🐈‍⬛ (as always). OH and dans mullet lmaoo. Got my lisence recently besides that just basking in the winter depression currently drawing and playing totk🙂. How about you?🥴 How are you doing whats good in your life right now? Id love to know🫶

I feel like I need to give Emmy more love

cw: eelektross hybrid emmet

~~~~

You watched as the equivalent merman shift around in the tub again.

It was a bigger, box-style tub that you had bought specifically for your lovely boyfriend to hide himself in whenever he wanted a break from aquatic life.

Of course, he currently felt like he was here outside of his own volition.

In winter, Eelektrosses tended to find a nice rocky cove to hide in deep under the water and rest until spring returned. It preserved their energy while prey numbers were low and allowed them a safe place to sleep without risk of other predators attempting an attack. Emmet, however, did not want to rest deep in the ocean without seeing you for months on in. No, instead, he thought of a genius plan to stay with you in a tub of water.

“I think I'd be better off looking into an aquarium at this point,” you sighed as he kept trying to find a comfortable position. It was too small for his long serpentine tail to rest with him in the tub. You hated seeing him like this and felt that him hibernating may have been the better choice, despite his protests to this.

“Mmm,” he hummed, choosing to rest on his stomach and face you with his head resting on his hands, “Could you? It would be good exercise! Heehee, you could even dump prey in and let me chase them around.”

“Even Magikarp have a high price during these months, Emmy,” you shook your head. Still, he seemed quite cute all posed to face you. Leaning forward, you pecked a sweet kiss to his face near a group of his eel skin. A giggle came from him. “Hmm, I'll talk with Ingo about getting you somewhere more comfortable to stay,” you decided. Emmet nodded and returned to his endless shifting.

~

You jumped awake in the night as a gross chill shot down your spine. A slimy tail curled around your legs as wet arms pulled you tightly against their chest. You felt rough skin rub your own. For a moment, horror aerated your brain until you realised what it was. Emmet had appeared to crept into your bed and taken you into an embrace. You could feel his chest rise up and down slowly as his weak lung sacs worked to process the pure air outside of the water he normally submerged himself in.

You let out a breath as you pondered if it was worth scolding him over this again. Ever since he had moved in for the winter, he had begun to sneak into your bed during nights. While he had done this previously on your lifeboat, it was a pleasant thing as his cooled body often took away from the extreme heat that the summer brought. In the winter, the effect was quite the opposite. “Emmet,” you whined, “I told you to stop doing this.”

He nuzzled his face into your hair and hummed. You could already tell he did not care, and felt – oh, so - cosy in your bed while stealing your body heat. “I will stop,” he offered, “When you stop being the warmest person I know.” His tail loosened and tightened for a moment as began to pepper kisses to your head. You decided to accept your fate for now. Wrapping your arms around Emmet, you nuzzled against him and returned back to sleep.

The most entertaining part of dating an Eelektross hybrid and having him live with you in the winter was watching him lose his mind over whatever fish you brought him. A clear preference for Feebas was noted, but anything that lived in or around the ocean was enough to satisfy him. Which is why you had taken him to the beach to let him hunt out Krabby. They attempted to scuttle away from the apex predator, but failed to make it far. Emmet then thoroughly enjoyed his hunted meal and even tried to offer some to you (which you denied for quite a few reasons).

When there was little to hunt on the beach, or he found himself craving true fish, you bravely bought some at a fish market and proceeded to play what was equivalently fetch with your boyfriend. His speeds in the sand despite lacking legs was astounding. The same arms the pinned you to the beach underneath when you had first met carried him quickly after the poor fish that was already gone. Your cheering when he caught it in his mouth was likely uncalled-for, but it was definitely exciting to see in action.

It served to keep him active and near his natural environment, too, which was good for him. Even if he was adamant about staying at your side through the winter to prove what a devoted and good mate he was (and how lonely it would be to go months without seeing you or Ingo would be), you knew he missed the ocean. The lazy days of laying on him in the summer sun as you were floated along the water by him were gone and replaced with little action at the beach besides an occasional brave bonfire.

You sat down to watch the sun set beneath the distant ocean waves, and the twin joined you. Resting your head on his shoulder, you smiled to yourself. His head rested atop yours before his hand imitated it.

“I can't wait for summer again,” you admitted to him, “Playing in the water with you became such a pleasant thing.”

“Me, too,” he cooed, “I can go for a short swim. If you want?”

You denied his offer immediately and instead turned to cup his cheeks. His eel skin felt smoother than his human skin. His silted pupils were instead a rounded black that nearly consumed the silver of his irises. Leaning forward, you pressed a tender kiss to his lip that he eagerly reciprocated. His hands held your shoulders softly as you remained connected for as long as your lungs could handle. Pulling away, Emmet's sweet smile made your heart warm with emotion.

For all the annoyances brought by him staying with you during these times, you found yourself enjoying it more than anything.

you dabbed bakugou’s nose. he winced as you tapped it. “sorry,” you breathed out, switching the tissue in your hand for a clean wipe. 

“i’m fine, dumbass.” 

“then why’d you ask for my help?” you teased, wiping at the blood on his upper lip. 

his cheeks dusted with red, eyes averting to the side. you smiled softly, victorious in his silence. 

nighttime was settling in nicely, the sun bleeding orange into the clouds. 

“look back at me,” you said. gently, you took his bruised jaw in your fingers, adjusting his head so he was facing you. you brushed your fingers along his swelling cheekbone. purple blossomed beneath bakugou’s pale skin. “kirishima was pretty rough out there, huh?’ 

“i’m proud of the guy.” 

you smiled, tilting your head. “you? proud of someone? really?” 

he chuckled. “knock it off, dumbass.” a grin spread across his face, however it was gone when the pain hit. he winced, trying to ignore the sting his smile brought with it. 

you let out a laugh. “just relax, bakugou.” you resumed dabbing away at the excess blood on his face. there were flecks of dirt scattered over his forehead. 

he caught your wrist in one of his soft, large hands. 

your smile faded, and you swallowed, pushing down the rising emotions fluttering into your chest. “yes?” you responded to the silent question his eyes were asking. 

his grip on your wrist loosened, and he let go, letting his arm fall back to his side. 

“everything okay?” 

he didn’t break eye contact as he grunted a reply. “mhm.” 

“alright. i’ll be right back, okay?” 

“‘kay,” he said. 

you stood with a groan, knees sore from all the training you’d been doing lately. you gently shut the bathroom door behind you and rinsed the bits of dirt off the towel, scrubbing away any imperfections stuck between the fibers of the fabric. 

your cheeks were boiling with heat as the ghost of his touch on your wrist lingered. what was that? did he mean to tell you something? 

you wrung out the newly washed cloth and returned to your seat across from bakugou. 

bakugou’s eyes flickered as you began scrubbing the dirk from his forehead. 

“ah,” he gasped out. 

“you’ve gotta stop wincing, bakugou,” you teased. “you’re making me think i’m doing something wrong.” 

“you’ve gotta stop being so rough, y/n.” he took your wrists and pried them away from his face. 

you set the towel down on the table, letting it rest on a paper towel so the excess water could drain out. 

“well, i think the issue is that you haven’t let me set your nose properly.” 

bakugou squinted, unsure. “alright.” he spread his legs, leaning forwards to make your job easier. “do as you wish, y/n.” his voice dropped, eyelids lowering seductively. 

the heat returned to your cheeks, flushing out your confidence from before. instead of replying with an equally snarky comment, you took his face in your hands. “this is going to hurt.” 

“not so much if it’s you.” 

you scoffed. “are you flirting with me, katsuki bakugou?” 

his lips quirked up—just a tiny bit. “stop dreaming, y/n.” 

you ignored the comment and traced your fingers over the bridge of his nose. “on three?” 

he nodded. 

“one—” you cracked the bone into place. 

“ah, shit!” bakugou recoiled back, covering his nose with his hands. “damn brat.” 

“it would have hurt more if you knew it was coming.” you shrugged innocently. 

“at least i would have been prepared.” 

“whatever you say.” you gestured for him to come back to his previous position, and bakugou did as instructed, hands dropping from his face as your hands came back around to cup his cheeks. 

being recovery girl’s grandchild had its benefits. for example, an easy way to get into yuuei off of recommendations. while your quirk wasn’t usually one people would associate with fighting, it came with unexpected pros with how it developed. 

you’d earned the ability not only to heal but to ruin as well. using your quirk, honing it properly, you could twist someone inside out with ease, however, healing was something you were more skilled with. 

a green glow was being emitted from your palms, white orbs flowing into the air and landing on bakugou’s skin. you could tell, under his skin, the bone was fixing itself, beginning to reshape into the flat bridge. 

bakugou sniffed. 

“hold still,” you said. 

“does your healing always make your patients itchy?” 

“it’s just your body healing. stop moving.” the green light receded into your palms. 

you met bakugou’s eyes as you pulled your hands away. you were leaning closer than necessary, out of your seat, knees slightly bent. you could tell his hands were shaking just a bit as they trailed down your arms, starting from your fingertips which were still hovering around his face. 

his hands found their way to your waist. bakugou tugged you closer. barely an inch closer, but it felt like the two of you were inseparable at the moment. 

“y/n?” 

you jumped, and bakugou’s hands fell back to the sides of the seat he was in. you swallowed as kirishima popped up at the doorway. 

you wiped your palms on your shirt, nodding for kirishima to enter. “yes?” 

the redhead walked in warily, hands up and pace slow. “i hope i’m not...interrupting anything. am i?” 

you shook your head. “not at all. we were, um. we were just finishing up.” you picked up the cloth intended for wiping bakugou’s face. “do you think you could finish up by yourself?” 

he took the cloth from your hands. “yeah, sure.” he pushed himself up and was out of your room, waving his thanks. “i’ll pay you back so i don’t owe your ass, got it, y/n?” 

“Alright.” 

bakugou shut the door behind him, leaving you and kirishima alone. 

“so, what was that about?” 

your eyes flew wide. “what was what?” 

“don’t act oblivious, y/n. you two looked at each other like you hung the moon in the sky.” 

you bit your lip, hiding the smile that was brought about upon reminiscing about the recent seen. “it wasn’t anything, kirishima. don’t worry about it.”

“i’m worrying. you know bakugou.” 

“that’s something you’d say about someone with dating experience, and a bad reputation regarding it. bakugou is—” 

“just like every other guy out there? it’s the twenty-first century. there are not many decent people left out here. do you really think he’s any different?” 

“well,” you said, shaking your head, “personally, i see he’s changed.” 

“two years isn’t going to erase all the past shit he’s done.” 

“there’s a thing called forgiveness.” you quirked an eyebrow at him, tilting your head down as you began cleaning up. “plus, it wasn’t necessarily his fault. we can both agree that hero society created toxic standards for all aspiring pros.” 

kirishima clenched his fists. “he’s bad for you.” 

you tossed out a few wipes into the garbage. “sorry?” 

“he’s...not good for you.” 

“i appreciate you thinking nobody is good enough for me, but at the end of the day-” 

unknowingly, kirishima was hardening his fingertips. his nails punctured the soft skin of his palms. “i don’t mean he’s not good enough for you, but that’s another truth, too. he’s just not good for you.” 

you turned, smiling brightly. “and since when did you know what was good for me?” you laughed, eyes closed. “why are you trying to dictate my decisions-” 

when you opened your eyes, you found kirishima standing closer, brows furrowed angrily.

your expression lowered into something angry. “what’s the matter?” 

“i just...i can’t.” 

“can’t what?” 

kirishima was one to be slow to anger. he always had been. you can’t recall a time you saw him angry or pissed except for when bakugou had been kidnapped by the league of villains. 

“kirishima,” you scoffed, “are you genuinely pissed over this? what? is this because i got mad at you because i scolded you for breaking bakugou’s nose? if anything, i don’t think i was wrong for-” 

“that’s not it. that...that isn’t it, y/n.” he stepped towards you. kirishima closed the gap between you both, pressing your back against the wall, trapping you there between his arms. “that isn’t it at all, y/n.” 

you swallowed. “then what is it, kirishima?” his eyes met yours, serious and stern. 

your chest tingled. 

he brought his fingers to your chin, angling your face with ease to get a better look at you. “call me eijirou.” 

“what?” 

“just once. please.” 

“why-” 

“once.”

“...what is it, eijirou?” 

the pause felt like an eternity. “it’s you, y/n.” 

“it’s...me? what about me? did i do something wrong?” 

he chuckled softly, but there was no humor in his longing smile as he stared down. “you’re so oblivious.” 

you could hear his heart beating, getting faster with every sentence he pushed out. 

“you’re so clueless, y/n. it’s kind of pissing me off.” 

“what am i doing to piss you off?” you snapped. 

he tongued the inside of his cheek. “like i said.” he flashed you an award-winning grin. “clueless.” kirishima pushed himself off the wall and left the room, the door shutting hard, but not slamming shut. 

you were left breathless, the hint of his cologne still lingering in the space before you. 

you’d avoided kirishima and bakugou for the rest of the night. 

- 

what kirishima had wanted to say was nothing like what he said, but he knew everything would come out all wrong if he’d try to say anything. 

his mind would have jumbled all his words, and he’d look like a crazy, insane lover. 

bakugou wasn’t bad for you. not at all. you two were perfect for each other. you both had thick skin for silly rebuttals towards one another. you brought out the fun side of the blonde, and he worked you to your best. 

kirishima was just your best friend. he hated to be the one who had fallen with nothing to soften the blow that was surely coming soon. 

his ears burned nearly as red as his hair. a shudder passed down his back, the feeling of your jaw pressed between his thumb and index finger still imprinted there. 

“i can’t fucking stand to see you around him.” 

kirishima made his way to the common room, finding bakugou looking for snacks there. kirishima scoffed as his friend emerged with an apple in hand. 

it was not like he hated bakugou. not at all. he didn’t think that pining for the same girl would ruin their friendship. he was just angry that you chose him. 

kirishima respected your decisions. he wouldn’t ever try to get in the way of anything if you and bakugou made that kind of decision. he just wanted to be near you. 

perhaps he should leave the situation alone. leave you alone and just forget about how his feelings were nagging at him every day. 

he should forget how you were the first thing on his mind every morning, and the thing he thought about when he fell asleep. 

you were everywhere. should he forget that too? 

- 

bakugou tossed his apple into the air. he clapped his friend on the back, taking a bite out. “go to sleep, idiot.” 

“don’t call me that.” 

bakugou turned, startled that kirishima wasn’t taking bakugou’s shit today. “you good?” 

“i’m fine, but i’m not an idiot.” 

bakugou’s body tightened. “alright.” 

the pair stood awkwardly for a moment before kirishima sucked in a sudden breath. “what is y/n to you?” he asked. 

bakugou raised an eyebrow. “what?” 

“they’re obviously something to you.” 

“listen, they were just helping me out. didn’t think you’d get offended from them fixing my broken ass nose.” 

“that’s not what i mean. i walked in on you two, and you were about to—” 

“i wasn’t going to do jackshit.” bakugou tossed his apple away, too angry to eat anything anymore. 

“yes. don’t lie to me.” 

“i’m not lying. where is all of this coming from?” 

kirishima huffed out a frustrated breath. he shouldered past bakugou. kirishima uttered words he hated himself for saying. “leave me alone.”
