Something about how KRS!Cale never completely erased his identity as Kim Rok Soo. He still refers to himself as Kim Rok Soo at times despite how adamant he was to leave his past behind and live as Cale Henituse. How even after meeting with OG!Cale and accepting they both now live respectively as Cale Henituse and Kim Rok Soo he still calls himself by his original name. Something about how he can't throw away his past despite how painful it was because that's still a part of him. He is Cale Henituse but he will always be Kim Rok Soo.

And that is not to say that Cale!KRS completely erased his identity as Cale Henituse. He still keeps his mannerisms as Cale even while accepting that he now is just Kim Rok Soo. The difference is that Cale!KRS never really planned to change or forget his life as Cale Henituse, meanwhile KRS!Cale wanted to erase it completely and start a new life.

So who is the lucky guy to get a kiss from you? 😘

[themissinghand]

"Is it true, my lord?" you murmur softly against his chest. It's quiet, and you're bare, the both of you. The words are forced out like they're glued to your lips, so you pry them off, ripping off the skin in the process and leaving you bleeding.

Ayato is clever. Cunningly so, you think. Something about the way his lips quirk makes you think he's well aware of what you mean. Something about the way he raises his brows makes you know he's not going to make this easy for you.

"Is what true?" he asks smoothly. Too smooth. It's like he's been waiting for this question. He glances down at you as you fight the urge to hide against his sternum.

"There is word, my lord," you say carefully. "I'm certain you are better acquainted with the rumors than myself."

"Word of what, exactly? There are many rumors across Inazuma, you know."

Ayato is also infuriating. He always has been.

You think it's the way he's so easy to disappear. He's there one second, like pelting rain. Cold. Unbearably difficult to ignore. Lingering on your skin as it rises with goosebumps and brings a shiver down your spine. And then he's gone. The harsh droplets blended with the current and carried away downstream, slipping through the cracks of your fingers like he was never meant to fit between them in the first place.

Ayato was never meant to fit against you in the first place. He does an impeccably cruel job of making you believe it's possible that he could, sometimes, though. You wonder if that's the irony of his vision—what justice is there to how he rips your heart from your chest, inspecting it closely in awe for just a moment before tossing it to your feet in indifference?

Surely, the god of Hydro does not recognize such sadism, let alone reward it. Surely, there is some form of injustice to how he toys with your feelings.

Patience is your strong suit. It has to be when loving Ayato—it has to be especially when you love him from his shadow. He faces the sun, just as any head of a clan should. You linger in the space behind, devoid of light—and, for a moment, you wonder if that's why he likes to keep you around.

Everyone who faces the light needs a shadow.

"If you wish to be coy," you say bitterly, "then allow me to be plain. There is word that the Kamisato clan seeks the betrothal of their head. Forgive me for seeking confirmation directly from the source himself."

"Ah," he drawls, so sickeningly sweet in that voice of his. You love him. You always have. You have never hated that truth more. "Yes, it is. It seems the elders believe I will be well past my prime should I wait any longer."

"And what do you believe, my lord?"

"That it is my duty to fulfill the wishes of my elders."

Your heart sinks. You already knew it would—made room for it so it wouldn't destroy any more of yourself in its path, even. You expected it to hit that place at the bottom of your guts that makes you feel nauseous and numb all at once. It was only a matter of time, of course—you're not naive enough to believe he could be yours like this forever.

You always liked to daydream, though. A day where Ayato and you faced the sun together, no longer hidden in the shadow of the moon under his sheets. No longer quiet in your affairs like they're disgustingly wrong. Maybe you are naive, though—maybe such a daydream is only proof your mind is painfully self-indulgent to the point of doom.

"Do you eye someone in particular?" you force yourself to ask. You're not sure why. Maybe masochism makes it easy to breathe when it's your heart that's bleeding and not your lungs.

"I do," he confirms. Cruel, you think—so cruel is the Yashiro Commissioner to keep you close, fighting against space itself to have your body close by night and give into its wickedness during the day. And so wicked, heartless, and brutal is space—you hate it more and more every day.

"You should not bed someone when dreaming of being betrothed, Ayato," you bite. The words are laced with venom, tasting acrid on your tongue as they flow past your bleeding lips.

"On the contrary, my dear," he hums, pulling you tighter, closer. Fighting against space just as he always does—winning so easily, you wonder if space has ever tried in the first place. "Who else should I bed if not my betrothed?"

You blanch. Something stirs in your heart—you force it down and scold yourself for having the audacity to hope. Hope is not for you. Not for someone so plain. So mundane. So outside the realm of nobility.

You swallow thickly and croak, "You should be kinder, Ayato. Such cold games are hardly befitting of a husband."

"Is that so? Then I will do my best," he murmurs. His lips find yours, pressing a delicate enough kiss against them that it feels as though the rough, raw skin mends instantly. "Rest assured your husband shall be as kind as you need, my dear."

Your eyes widen. Something in you nags in a breathlessly hopeful voice—divinity is never wrong. The god of Hydro is not mistaken. Justice is the love that seeps into your broken heart from the man who tore it in the first place, patching it together better than it ever was to begin with.

Randomly had the urge to do some fanart for orv recently.

Originally did it in colour then realised a black and white version would be cool too.

Soft (stoic) men are one of my weaknesses

A Glimmer of Sunshine

A/n: here's your request! @michi3001, I'm sorry it took long, but hey it's better late than never ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ –

Genre: Canon Verse, Fluff, Gn! Reader/Fem! Reader, Sunshine! Reader, Grumpy x Sunshine Trope, Second Person, Proofread

Chars: Capitano, Alhaitham, Diluc, Zhongli

Summary: He’s stoic, reserved, and notoriously grumpy — yet somehow, you manage to bring out a gentler side of him. Whether you’re tugging him toward market stalls, teasing a smile from him over drinks, or showing him beauty in the simplest things, your warmth shines through his chilly exterior. In moments when his walls seem unbreakable, you’re the sunlight that softens him, one unrelenting smile at a time.

Capitano:

The Fatui Harbinger, tall and intimidating, stood stiffly beside you. His mere presence was enough to send chills through others, yet here you were, greeting everyone in passing with a warm smile and a cheerful wave.

“You look like you're thinking about something serious, Captain,” you chirped, tilting your head with a smile. “Care to share?”

Capitano turned slightly, the slightest glint of amusement hidden in his otherwise stoic demeanor. “Nothing of concern. You...have an unusual energy for someone in our line of work.”

You beamed up at him, undeterred. “Well, someone has to keep things bright around here! Besides, I think you’re a little softer than you let on.”

His posture tensed, and he huffed. “I assure you, I am not soft.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I won't tell anyone,” you teased, giving him a playful wink. “Your secret's safe with me, Mr. Tough Guy.”

Against all odds, he found himself biting back a chuckle. Perhaps, just this once, he could allow a small smile to slip under his mask—for you and your cheerful demeanor alone.

Alhaitham:

The scholar sat silently in the library, his gaze fixed on his book, attempting to ignore your bright laughter and energy that seemed to fill every corner of the room.

“Alhaitham, look!” you said, pulling a flower from the garden you'd picked on the way in. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

He glanced up, giving it a brief look. “A flower,” he said flatly, before returning to his book. “A common sight in the Akademiya's gardens.”

You shook your head, unfazed by his indifference. “It’s more than that! It’s...well, look at the colors! They’re so vivid. Doesn’t it make you feel something?”

Alhaitham peered over the book again, giving you a longer glance. Your eyes were practically shining, and though he didn’t show it, he felt a subtle warmth in his chest.

“Perhaps,” he replied, his tone softening just a bit. “But it would hardly compare to your...vividness.”

You blinked, surprised. “Oh? Is that a compliment?”

He rolled his eyes but couldn’t suppress the faint smile that tugged at his lips. “Don’t let it get through your head.”

Diluc:

The usually stern bartender of Angel’s Share was busy preparing drinks when you entered, beaming from ear to ear as you greeted him with a cheerful wave. “Diluc! It’s been a busy day, huh? How’s my favorite bartender doing?”

He gave you a quick nod, avoiding your gaze as he wiped down a glass. “Fine. There’s much work to be done tonight,” he muttered.

But you weren’t about to leave it at that. “C’mon, Luc, don’t you ever take a moment to relax?” you teased, reaching out to brush an invisible speck of dust off his shoulder. “Life’s too short to always be so serious.”

He tensed, clearly unused to such casual contact. But he softened, if only slightly, at the sparkle in your eyes. “Perhaps...not everyone has your boundless optimism.”

“Well,” you said with a soft laugh, “I’ll just have to share some of it with you.” You held out a small basket of his favorite snacks, a small peace offering. “Here, you can have this instead!”

Diluc's expression softened further, and he took the plate, lips quirking into a faint smile. “Thank you...for this.”

Zhongli:

It wasn’t often that Liyue’s most composed and dignified consultant found himself at a loss for words. Yet, as you babbled on excitedly about the city’s lanterns, the stalls, and the festival, he couldn’t help but feel...captivated.

“And look at this, Zhongli!” You pointed to a stall filled with colorful trinkets, your enthusiasm drawing the attention of passersby. “Isn’t it wonderful?”

Zhongli glanced down at you, his usual calm demeanor softening. “You find wonder in such simple things, don’t you?”

“Of course! That’s what makes life beautiful,” you replied, grinning. “Not everything has to be grand to be meaningful.”

He paused, the faintest glimmer of a smile gracing his lips. “Perhaps I could learn something from your perspective,” he murmured, half to himself.

Zhongli’s eyes softened, and as he watched your bright, genuine smile, he felt his heart warm. For you, he supposed, perhaps a little wonder in the simple things was worth the experience.

Without hesitation, you looped your arm through his, tugging him toward the stall. “Then let me teach you!” you laughed. “We’ll start with picking out something that makes you smile.”

This is gold

Halloween at Kim Dokja’s Company ✨

[themissinghand]

…why you do this to me

thinking about yoo joonghyuk learning for certain that when he regresses everything he leaves stays behind. lee jihye continues on without a master, lee hyunsung without a friend, kim namwoon without an idol, shin yoosoung without a father. and so on so forth. and then kim dokja sacrifices himself and leaves and for the first time here is a death he cannot reverse with his own. here is a face he may never see again. but more than that he becomes aware of the toll that grief takes on others - he lives in kim dokja's complex with the rest of the company and sees them all mourn. sees kim dokja miss shin yoosoungs and lee gilyoungs birthdays, sees yoo sangah sit in the breakroom with a cold cup of coffee and a distant look in her eyes, sees lee hyunsung mutter about his cartridge and han sooyoung swear absently at 'that guy'. do you think he ever looks at the people kim dokja left behind and remember the people he left behind. do you think he ever notices the grief around him and think about all the people mourning him across a thousand timelines........

[themissinghand]

The way orv says even the most boring, cliche, convoluted story is worth telling if it is loved. The way orv says people are stories made up of everything they've experienced and everyone they've known throughout their lives. The way orv says I love you. You are a story worth telling.

Tcf a summary by me

[themissinghand]

Praise the scammer Prince

been thinking about Alberu Crossman lately and how he really is just the guy of all time. he's a magic swordsman prince and a quarter Dark Elf, but his main weapon is a gun. and not just any gun, but an alien gun that came pre-installed with AI. he spent half a chapter on hold with customer service once. his alias of choice when going undercover is "Bob." he's white-passing, but only when he wants to be. his main catchphrase is "This is driving me nuts." he uses this catchphrase so much, the fandom has started associating him with squirrel imagery. he's the only person to call Cale an immature brat to his face. he was assigned a fursona by God. he's genuinely upset that the main villain makes better cookies than he does. he fought the final boss in his pajamas - and won. he averted a TPK for Cale's allies by taking a video call as his fursona. he once shot the main villain while he was monologuing. he's even a gamer. what did we do to deserve him

[themissinghand]

The struggle of the Kim’s.

The Kim's all have 1 braincell in common . . . They should really get rid of that braincell
