[kurithedweeb]

I have stumbled into Zaaron, AKA Zane Ro'Meave/Lord Aaron of Falconclaw.

Hear me out: if Aaron DIDN'T KNOW that it was Zane who gave Jacob the amulet that killed all of Falconclaw, he would still be a guilt-ridden revenger but he'd have no target to turn all that guilt and rage on.

He'd stew in it for months while he buried the dead one by one with no one to blame but himself. He wasn't strong enough or fast enough or smart enough to stop this from happening, he's broken himself down into his simplest components and found himself lacking. What is he supposed to do now? He's a broken thing. He could go to O'khasis. Lily's cousin Ivy is in O'khasis. They'd never spoken much, but she was all the family he had left. He couldn't make himself stay here any longer, where else is he supposed to go?

He goes to O'khasis. Ivy is out on assignment when he shows up at the central cathedral looking for her, but the High Priest is there. Lily speaks - used to speak well of him. If anyone can fix him, it's the High Priest, right?

Zane's the best in the world at putting on a mask, he can see through one easily. Aaron clearly doesn't know it was him who gave Jacob the amulet and he's not about to let him know. He brings Aaron into the fold of the church, the O'khasis guard, Zane's personal service and eventually into the Jury of Nine. He's so sweet, Zane, and it's so easy to fall into service to him, so easy for Aaron to dedicate himself to the duties he's assigned - it's not like he has any more Lordly duties to attend to when he's the only surviving soul fo his village. Zane keeps him close, it would have been better if he'd had the boy to take under his wing but he supposed a man who'd rather do anything than continue thinking of how broken and weak he'd become worked just as well. He couldn't seduce him exactly to keep him complacent, but he could get very close to it.

Aaron's already been on the Jury for a while when Zane sends him on his first bloody mission, an easy one to test the waters. Aaron's shaken when he comes back, but he still follows orders as well as ever and only clings to Zane more when he frets and cradles his face so gently and asks softly if he's alright, so he supposes he'll outgrow the anxiety and guilt of what he's been asked. Aaron, meanwhile, has started putting together the pieces. When he finally learns all he needs to know, he's horribly conflicted - he should kill the man who made him kill his entire village, but this can't possibly be right. It can't possibly be Zane, right?

It only takes overhearing one discussion between Janus and Ivy about Janus's assignments to convince him otherwise. And for his wife's beloved cousin to be in on it? How many others were there who knew? Was Aaron the only Juror who didn't know that Zane wasn't who he thought he was? He'd have to go through all of them to get to Zane, he knows. Even after all this time and dedication to the Jury, he's not strong enough for that.

So he runs. His Juror token is torn out of him and recalled by witchcraft the moment they realize he's really gone. It hurts just as much as Lily and Jacob suddenly dropping dead in the kitchen one sunny afternoon.

By the time they meet again in Phoenix Drop, Aaron's made his decision. He'll kill Zane and avenge Falconclaw, even if he has to die with him to do it.

Love's got nothing to do with their relationship. It's about being so isolated by your station and situation that you'll do anything to not be completely alone, even if that means letting someone control you completely.

Sleepy Paranoia

Summary: Zane has paranoia, takes place around Mystreet s3

Pairings: Zane x Aaron

Tags: Fluff, Scared/Comfort, no beta, etc.

CW: the whole fic is about Zane's nighttime paranoia. It may not be the same as yours but i'm actually projecting a little bit.

This fic is also a gift for my friend in the aphtwt discord server, you're welcome shawty

Zane couldn’t sleep. He was fucking horrified frozen in his bed that something, he knew that there was nothing there, but all reasoning leaves your mind at 2:00 in the morning. 

Zane turns on his back so he can get a scope of his entire room, snapping his head all over the place whenever he hears, or thinks he hears, even the slightest creak. As well as stuffing his entire body, aside from his head, under a blanket.

After about 15 minutes, he grabs his phone, to distract himself from his paranoia, as per his usual ritual, he messages his closest friends, Aphmau and Nana a joke about how annoyed he is. 

“I was having a decent dream and then I just / suddenly woke up from paranoia / ???” (2:52 AM)

As Zane goes to close the app, He gets a response from Aphmau, to his slight surprise.

“Is there anything I can do?” (2:53 AM)

“Go back to bed, aph.” (2:53 AM)

“New episode of OP, cant” (2:54 AM)

“Bitch???” (2:55 AM)

On Aphmau’s end, She feels bad for Zane, she knew better than anyone the shit his mind likes to put him through. She ponders what she can do for him, before remembering her puppy of a roommate.

Aphmau walked over to Aaron’s room, and knowing he’s asleep, just barged in. She went behind him and rubbed his bare back as she leaned to his ear.

“Aaron, can I ask you a favor?” Her tone was sweet, she knew that would get her on his good side.

“Mm?”

He’s half asleep. Perfect for getting him to agree to late night requests. Especially ones of this caliber.

“Zane’s having a really bad paranoia episode, can you go over to Zane’s and comfort him for me? Pleaaaase~”

Aaron’s tail flicks as he nods, he sits up and stretches before getting onto his feet. 

“Tell Zane I’m on my way.” he says as he puts his jacket and slip-ons on. 

“Already on it.”

Zane received the text, and panicked a little bit. He didn’t know what time Aaron would arrive…

She sent AARON?

“Why the fuck did you send AARON???” (3:28 AM)

No response, to his dismay.

It takes about 5 minutes for Aaron to walk to Zane’s, He knocks on the door a few times before Laurance opens the door.

“Aaron? What are you doing here this early… Late..?” he paused. “Why are you here?”

Aaron yawns before he responds.

“Zane’s havin’ an episode or somethin’... Aphmau sent me.” His words are slurred due to his sleep delirium.

Laurance is too tired for this shit, so he just steps aside and directs Aaron to where Zane’s room is.

Aaron brings himself upstairs and knocks lightly on zane’s door as he walks in. 

Zane is petrified. He shut his eyes tightly because in his mind, this is what’s in his mind. This is the incomprehensible monster that’s going to kill him. This is his death. He can’t fight back. There's no fighting back. He’s not strong enough to–

His eyes snap open as Aaron basically lays on top of him as if he were a blanket.

“You’re safe, Zane. You’re safe.”

Zane’s heart rate slows a little as he accepts the embrace. He scootches over a little bit so Aaron can lay normally on the bed. He’s almost already asleep again. 

Aaron pulls Zane into his chest as he brings his hands through his hair. Just making sure Zane knows that he won’t let anyone hurt him. 

He does. His eyes flutter as he slowly drifts off in Aaron’s arms. It’s surprisingly comfortable.

He could get used to this.

⚠TW⚠

- Mention of Death

- Mention of Self-Harm

- Arguing (kinda?)

----------------

I sit on the couch, a mug of tea warming my cold hands.

My hair awkwardly touches the back of my neck. It's really short, but I try to ignore that.

Zaaron walks into the room, taking a seat next to me.

"So, are you ready to talk?" He asks.

I nod.

"Well.. It's.. complicated.." I start.

"Just try to sum it up." He says reassuringly.

"Ok.. uh.. well Krystal found out that I was in contact with.. you, and she basically turned everyone against me.. except for Kaiden." I say.

"And then Kairo.. passed. And it hurt but Kaiden tries his best to get me through it.."

"But next thing I know.. he- he hates me. He won't look at me, won't talk to me.. And then he became aggressive and I got scared.. So I ran off."

I take a deep breath.

Zaaron sighs. "So now you're just hiding away in your house, not telling anyone if you're ok?"

I nod slowly.

"So are you and Kaiden still-" He asks

"We broke up." I clarify. "Well.. I left him a note that basically said I was breaking up with him. I'm not sure he.. actually thinks we are."

"Well what now?" He asks.

"Huh?"

"What do you plan to do?"

"I was going to leave this place. Move to Armoni. Start a new life." I say.

Zaaron raises his eyebrows. "That's a plan you got there."

I hum. "I would maybe come and visit you.."

He smiles. "I'm sure you would kiddo."

His smile drops. "But.. I don't think you should just leave without saying goodbye to some.. certain people."

I give him a puzzled look. "Like who? All my friends left me. Kaiden left me. Hell, I don't think my parents would even notice if I left!" I raise my voice.

Zasrons holds his hands up. "Okay.. Karyme, listen. I can't imagine how angry you are right now but it was only a suggestion."

I take a deep breath. "I-im sorry. It's all just falling apart and I'm scared and I can't stop-" I stop myself.

"Stop what?" Asks Zaaron.

The atmosphere quickly tenses.

My eyes stare into the floor.

"Karyme.. Stop what.?" Zaaron asks again.

".. Nothing." I finally say.

"You are a terrible liar." He says.

I glare at him. "You're pushing it."

Zaaron sighs again. "Fine. I'll stop."

He switches the subject back to me leaving.

"So when do you plan to leave?" He asks.

"I think August 1st. That gives me enough time to book a train ticket and pack up my stuff." I explain.

Zaaron nods along.

"Are you sure you'll last there? It snows all the time." He says in a teasing tone.

"Ha ha, good one old man." I say sarcastically. "I'll be fine."

The rest of the afternoon we chat away about my future.

My.. non-exsistant future.

At around 8 I decide to head home.

"Remember Karyme-" Zaaron reminds me.

"I know, I can come to you if I need help." I repeat his words.

He ruffles my hair. "Yeah."

As I'm about to leave, Zaaron speaks up.

"Hey.. Stay safe, alright?"

I turn around to look at him.

My lips form a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

As I'm heading downtown to the bus stop tears begin to form in my eyes.

I hold them back.

'I'm sorry.. Zaaron.' I think.

[andrew-03-minyard]

i wonder how pisssed off Neil gets when he has to save Aaron's number in his phone and it becomes the top contact like does he save him as zAaron just so he doesn't have to see it or does he just delete the entire contact details

[aphblr-shipfessions]

I can't believe Zane tops half the cast then;

Zaurance (this one makes sense considering Zane calling him 'little Laurance' tbh)

Zanvis, Zante, Zene, Zana, Zanemau, Zaaron, Zanki, Zanus, ect.

I think he gets those rights by having the hardest name to combo with anything but tbh

[his-heart-hymns]

Mere hamdam mere dost gar mujhe is ka yaqeen ho mere hamadam mere dost gar mujhe is ka yaqeen ho ki tere dil kee thakan tere aankhon kee udaasee tere seene kee jalan meree dil-jooee mere pyaar se mit jaegee gar mera harf-e-tasallee vo dava ho jis se jee uthe phir tera ujada hua be-noor dimaag tere peshaanee se dhal jaen ye tazaleel ke daag teri beemaar javaanee ko shifa ho jae

If I could know for certain, my companion, my friend,If I could know for certain that your heart’s weariness,The despair of your eyes, the heat within your breast Would be healed with my sympathy, with my love,If my words of solace were a balm with which Your desolate mind, devoid of light, would come to life once again,Your consumptive youth would be cured

gar mujhe is ka yaqeen ho mere hamadam mere dost roz o shab shaam o sahar main tujhe bahalaata rahoon main tujhe geet sunaata rahoon halke sheereen aabashaaron ke bahaaron ke chaman-zaaron ke geet aamad-e-subh ke, mahataab ke, sayyaaron ke geet tujh se main husn-o-mohabbat kee hikaayaat kahoon kaise magaroor haseenaon ke barafaab se jism garm haathon kee haraarat mein pighal jaate hain kaise ik chehare ke thahare hue maanoos nuqoosh dekhate dekhate yak-lakht badal jaate hain kis tarah aariz-e-mahaboob ka shaffaaf bilor yak-ba-yak baada-e-ahamar se dahak jaata

If I knew this for certain, my friend,my companion,I would squeeze you, clasp you to my breast;I would keep you entertained day and night, evening to morning.I would sing you songs, soft and sweet,Songs of waterfalls, of spring, of green meadows;Songs of the coming of dawn, of the moon, of the planets; I would tell you stories of beauty and love,Of the bodies of proud beauties cold as snow,Melting from the passion of warm hands.

kaise ik chehare ke thahare hue maanoos nuqoosh dekhate dekhate yak-lakht badal jaate hain kis tarah aariz-e-mahaboob ka shaffaaf bilor yak-ba-yak baada-e-ahamar se dahak jaata hai kaise gulacheen ke liye jhukatee hai khud shaakh-e-gulaab kis tarah raat ka aivaan mahak jaata hai yoonhee gaata rahoon gaata rahoon teree khaatir geet bunata rahoon baitha rahoon teree khaatir.........

Of how the familiar fixed features of a faceAre all at once changed while still looking at them;Of how the transparent crystal of the beloved’s cheek,Suddenly would flush from red wine;Of how the rose petal bends from the tip of its bough;Of how the rose-branch bends itself to the flower-picker;Of how the hall of night is scented.I would go on singing thus, singing thus for you;I would keep sitting, weaving songs thus for you...........

Okay so the whole "ship names are made based on whose on top and whose on bottom" is wrong and inaccurate for the aphmau fandom actually.

In the fujioshi era, Zane was almost always a bottom. Yet if you look at his ship names his name is always at the beginning despite that. Because it's more recognisable and sounds better.

For example; Zanvis, Zane, Zante, Zaaron, Zana

Also, Vylad x Dante was made during this era for this era. For some reason people thought Vylad would bottom back then. Yet the ship name is Vylante.

Because it sounds better than danlad or whatever other shipname it would be.

So theory disproven. In the Aphmau fandom, most people didn't know that's how the shipnames used to work and didn't adhere to those rules. And most of the shipnames weren't made with that logic in mind.

actually it was true for ship names styled like "character x character" - just usually not ship names where the names were combined! so like. ship name zanvis but also usually written out as travis x zane instead of zane x travis (although obviously not everyone followed that rule, and barely anyone does that anymore from what ive seen)

if it were formatted like that zanvis would be trane and i think thats really funny. we should make that the ship name instead i think /j

ALTHOUGH i have also seen danlad be used as a ship name before (it was a long time ago and obviously the name didnt stick bc it doesnt sound as good as vylante) so? maybe there were some people who were that strict about it idk

also im cackling at "For some reason people thought Vylad would bottom" bc like. yeah idk what we were on back then 😭 in what world would vylad be a 4'11 uwu femboy twink bottom this is my 9/11

[zaaronvis]

nno matter how low my level of hyperfixation on this fandom is i will always ship zaaron in mystreet/mystreet AUs

"Your hair is growing back out." Zaaron says as he brushes Karyme's hair, preparing to braid it.

"I don't think it'll ever be as long as it was.." Karyme replies.

Zaaron sighs. "One day it will, or you'll learn to love it shorter."

Karyme hums. "..it has been easier to manage.."

Zaaron smiles. "See? Sometimes change is good."

Karyme nods, looking at Kairo as she sleeps next to them.

"So.." Zaaron says. "What happened at home, kiddo?"

Karyme sighs. "I.. we fought."

"You and your mother, I suppose?" Zaaron replies.

Karyme nods. "..i needed out.."

"I know kiddo.." Zaaron says. "Can't imagine what she hit you with today.."

Karyme takes a deep breath. "..I'm not going back."

Zaaron stops brushing her hair. "Is that a thought out decision or a in-the-moment decision?"

"Does it matter.?" Karyme mumbles. "I hate it there, and I'm not going back."

"What about your things, they're all there-" Zaaron says.

"I'll leave them. I don't want anything from that place." Karyme says. "..i have some things with me.."

Zaaron frowns. "You wanna tell me what she said? As long as I've known you I know it takes some fucked up shit to upset you this much.."

Karyme sighs. "She-.. I.."

Zaaron finishes her braid, and turns her to face him. "Easy.. take your time.. we have plenty of it.."

Karyme frowns. "She brought.. the incident up.."

Zaaron stops. "Fuckin' hell.." He says coldly, then switches to a softer tone. "Karyme.."

"I know.. it's not my fault.." Karyme mumbles. "..but she-.. I don't know, she always uses it against me.."

Zaaron shakes his head. "Frankly, she has no fucking right to use that against you." He sighs. "Did she.. blame you for it?"

"No.." Karyme says slowly. "She.. told me that.. it should've been me, not him.."

Zaaron's eyes narrow in anger. "I should go give her a piece of my mind-"

"No." Karyme says, grabbing his arm. "Words won't fix a monster.."

Zaaron takes a deep breath. "I know.. I'm sorry kiddo.."

Karyme drops her head. "..should it have.?"

Zaaron raises an eyebrow. "What.?"

"Should it have been me.?" Karyme mumbles.

Zaaron immediately shakes his head. "Karyme, no, not at all. You listen here, I don't care if the whole damn world says it.. it shouldn't ever have been you."

Karyme nods slowly. "But don't you miss him.?"

Zaaron sighs. "Sometimes.. we were twins.." He places a hand on Karyme's shoulder. "But other times.. I still feel him here.."

"Like.. mentally.?" Karyme asks.

"Not exactly." Zaaron replies. "Physically. Like.. a part of him lives on.."

"Really.?" Karyme asks.

"Of course." Zaaron says. "In fact.. I see him right now."

Karyme sighs. "Me.?"

"Who else?" Zaaron replies with a smile.

"I don't see it.." Karyme mumbles.

"Well, let me point out the similarities." Zaaron says.

"First off, you both have a peculiar way of thinking.." He says.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Karyme frowns.

"It's not a bad thing." Zaaron clarifies. "You both just think things out like it's a war decision.."

Karyme rolls her eyes. "Go on then.."

"Okay.. you both have the same annoyed face." Zaaron points out.

Karyme sighs.

"Exactly, that one." Zaaron says. "You both also have the same favorite color.."

"Purple?" Karyme asks.

"Kinda.. go more specific." Zaaron replies.

"The heather shade..? Karyme asks.

"That's the one." Zaaron laughs. "Still remember him asking the store employee if they had a tie in that shade.."

"He did that.?" Karyme asks.

"Yup, wanted to look good for the occasion.." Zaaron replies.

"What was the occasion?" Karyme asks.

Zaaron smiles. "The day he brought you home."

Karyme's eyes widen a bit. "Oh.."

"That's probably why you guys have the same favorite color.. poor baby you was surrounded by that specific shade of purple.." Zaaron shakes his head playfully.

Karyme hums. "..what else.?"

Zaaron smiles. "You both have the same smile.."

Karyme raises an eyebrow. "I don't remember what I look like smiling.."

"But I do." Zaaron says. "It's a subtle one.. hardly noticeable.. but I've seen it from you both."

Karyme looks away, feeling a light feeling in her chest.

"Oh, there it is.." Zaaron says softly. "That's the smile.."

Karyme shakes her head. "Now you're just embarrassing me.."

Zaaron sighs. "Alright.. I'll stop, but watch your back.. I'll get a photo one day."

Karyme rolls her eyes playfully. "Why would you want that?"

"I need a photo for my wallet." Zaaron says.

"..of me.?" Karyme frowns. "That's a family thing.."

Zaaron sighs. "You are family. You're my niece by blood.. but almost my daughter by bond."

Karyme raises her eyebrows in surprise. "You really see me that way.?"

"Of course." Zaaron says. "Ever since I got back in contact with you again I've seen you that way.." He gives a slight smile. "..and my coworkers may think you're actually my daughter.."

Karyme sighs. "Really.?"

"It was in the moment, Karyme." Zaaron says. "Plus, you basically are."

Karyme hums. "..you just gave me a great idea.."

Zaaron raises an eyebrow. "Really now?"

Karyme nods. "..what if.. I changed my surname to match yours.?"

Zaaron's eyes widen. "That's.. quite the idea.."

Karyme looks away. "It's too much, isn't it?"

Zaaron shakes his head. "No I.. I see what you mean.. but this is another of your in-the-moment decisions.."

Karyme nods. "Yeah.. maybe.."

Zaaron pats her shoulder. "Don't get disappointed now.. we can talk about this when you're older.."

Karyme sighs. "Okay.."

Karyme looks at Zaaron, and without a warning hugs him.

"Thank you.." Karyme whispers.

Zaaron slowly hugs her back. "For what.?"

"Being there for me.." Karyme replies.

Zaaron frowns. "That's the bare minimum, there's no thank you needed.." Zaaron sighs. "But for your sake, I'll accept the 'thank you'."

Karyme hums.

Zaaron turns his head, looking at the time.

"Shit.. it's really late.." Zaaron mumbles under his breath.

Zaaron looks back at Karyme. "It's bedtime, kiddo."

Karyme huffs. "I'm 19, Zaaron.."

Zaaron sighs. "Well in this household, everyone has a bedtime.. you included."

Karyme pulls away from the hug. "Alright.."

Zaaron hums in satisfaction. Karyme lays down, sighing.

"I'll stay until you fall asleep, okay?" Zaaron whispers.

Karyme nods, closing her eyes slowly..

After some time, Zaaron smiles seeing both Kairo and Karyme fast asleep. He stands up, exiting the room. He stops at the doorway, taking a deep breath.

"She'll be alright, brother. I got her from here.." He whispers into the dark.

With that, he exits the room, shutting the door behind him slowly.

Zaaron sighs, knowing what he has to do now..

"..where is it.." Zaaron mumbles, scrolling through his phone.

His finger stops on the blocked contact, reading 'Norma'.

Zaaron frowns. "There you are, sister.."

He hits the call button, eyes narrowed.

"Let's see what you have to say.."
