And that is why I did this presentation for you, Howl fans. Let's make an alliance against an evil triangle out there.

@sexy-people-contests-2026 some piece of propaganda.

and here's the code i used for them, just remove the spaces and its good to go!

From the wonderful fic C’est La Vie  by the ever-talented @cywscross.  Orion is one of my favorite Ocs to ever exist and I can’t get enough of him. 

Tagging @starriewolf too. As per the instructions of the event. I’m so sorry this is late I’ve been busy with school finials 

Fair warning: The following is not really canon to the fic I just thought it would be funny. May also contain spoliers for the fic and my personal ship regarding the fic.

Orion’s parents are here to work as security detail in the Triwizard Tournament. Dad somehow got permission for Father to come along with the group despite not being an Auror and he’s not overly sure what he feels about it. It was a surprise to see them being introduced at the Feast especially when neither had mentioned they would be coming but he just let it slide off his back not wanting to make a big deal out of nothing. At the time he was more worried about Hadrian who looked absolutely terrible that day.   

On one hand, he’s happy to have his parents around, because despite what some idiots may think loving your parents and showing you do isn’t lame. He hasn’t really spoken to them since he started this school year or the last for that matter but now that he has a friend he actually has something to say. 

On the other hand, said friend is what makes him feel a little awkward about being around them. Not that Hadrian has done anything to upset his parents or that his best friend seems uncomfortable with Dad or Father. No, what makes him cringe is just how much his parents seem to like Hadrian.

“He seems like a nice young man” Father said on Halloween. After Longbottoms’ name had been pulled out of the Goblet of Fire the hall had erupted in outrage. The Hufflepuffs were beside themselves in displeasure, not to mention the other schools and it took the whole staff just to calm things down long enough to return everyone to their dorms.

Orion didn’t want to leave Hadrian alone, not when it seemed he was one strong wind away from falling over and added with the Longbottom drama, it just didn’t seem like a smart idea overall. Besides, he still hadn’t forgotten the fact he found his idiot of a friend sitting on the edge of the Astronomy Tower under the rain.

He was worried alright?

Luckily Orion was able to sneak away from the Griffindor students who were being herded to their dorms with the help of Father, long enough to make sure Hadrian at least got safely to his common room.

“Hadrian is…interesting.” He remembers saying to Father. “He’s very kind.”

Father’s emotions were a little more close off then Dad’s but he had all but beam in happiness at those two sentences. “I’ll let Sirius know.”

Since both, his parents had their own sleeping quarters, Orion didn’t know what they talked about. Over the following days, however, he caught them staring at his group of friends, eyes filled with fascination and wonder. There was approval in Dad’s eyes and his tone of voice alluded to something he couldn’t quite grasp whenever Hadrian came up in conversation. 

Especially, on the first of November when Hadrian showcased his desire to protect people when they needed it the most. His friend called it a people- saving- thing in a casual way, seemingly unaware of just how incredible it was that he did. 

Dad wouldn’t shut up about it.  

Orion has taken to spending some time with his parents before curfew, to catch up see how they been even if it’s only for a few minutes. It wasn’t often but it just so happened to be on that night. 

“It takes guts to stand up to his house the way he did. Does he do it often?” Dad asked grinning madly. 

Shrugging his shoulders Orion admits.  “Maybe. Hadrian’s the weirdest bloke I ever meet.” 

It took Father’s eyes softening for him to realize he was smiling as he said that. Clearing his throat, he tried to concentrate on his potion essay. Just because he’s spending time with his parents didn’t mean he didn’t have homework to finish. 

“Weird can be good,” Dad says, his eyes shining. “Weird can be really good in fact.”

What?  “What do you mean?”

“When I first met your father, he too, was the weirdest bloke I ever meet.” 

Orion still doesn’t understand what in the world his Dad was going on about and he doesn’t think he wants to. It doesn’t help that his parents seem to love bringing up Hadrian. Every single time they got together one of them mention him.

Thankfully they refrained from doing so in front of his friend but the moment Orion was alone with them they started right back up.

“What do you two talk about?”

“You seem fairly close. Do you feel close to him, Orion?”

“He has such wonderful manners. His parents must be so proud.”

“Hadrian has the highest OWLs and NEWTs in ancient runes, doesn’t he? Maybe you can ask him to tutor you, one on one.” 

“What did you two do today?” 

“Hadrian seems a little tired today didn’t he?”

Now Orion has never been overly chatty, but he did find it easier to talk about Hadrian with them. He could admit it was exciting to finally have a friend to discuss with his parents and they just seem so happy when he did. Father is a lot more relaxed about it but he too seems very invested in all things Hadrian.

Especially, because Orion and Hadrian seem to be attached to the hip, but are okay with letting the other have his space and Father seems to really enjoy that concept about their friendship. He claims it a sign of a very strong and good relationship. 

He doesn’t tell them everything of course. Not about Hadrian keeping him company the last full moon or his handling of the Rita woman

Then one day he realizes with a horrible start what they have been hinting at for the past few weeks. 

Dad tried to casual slip it in one night, as Orion was looking over his Ancient Runes work package. “So Orion, do you know if Hadrian has a date to the Yule Ball yet?”

“No, he hasn’t said anything about it.” 

Father puts down a book he was reading to give his lover a stern look. There is a hint of warning when he says “Remember what Lily said.”

“I’m just asking is all,” Dad says almost defensively, which grab Orion’s attention. Either his Dad and Uncle James attempted to pull a prank after Hadrian and he left at lunchtime or something else was going on.  “What about you Orion? Do you have a date yet.”

“No”  He attempts not to allow the bitterness from bleeding into his voice. He doesn’t want to upset his parents but really why would Dad even ask? They all know what the answer is going to be anyway. 

“So you and Hadrian don’t have dates yet. Which means you two are dateless…together?”

“Yes?”  

“Sirius.”  Father sits ups straiter giving his other parents a very firm look which has the other man blowing out some air and slumping into the couch of their sleep quarters. Over on the little table where he had set up to do his work, Orion eyes his parents in confusion.

“Alright, Alright. I’ll let it be. But Moony you have to agree it would be adorable”

“ I stand by what I said earlier,” Father replies giving a meaningful head nod. “They seem like just friends.”

It clicks then. Orion jerks so violently in surprise he spills his ink bottle when his hand accidentally knocks into it. Quickly snatching his homework away from the black liquid he manages to save it just in time. 

Turning a  stupified look at his parents who snap their necks in his direction the moment he moved he blurts out “Dad, it’s not like that between Hadrian and I!” 

“But do you want it to be?” Dad is quick to counter. Orion can only gap at him, unsure what he’s supposed to say to that. He’s pretty positive his face is red in humiliation but sadly his Dad takes that as a confirmation instead. “You need to make a move before someone comes along and snatches him up ‘Rion. I have you know I completely approve of Hadrian. You need to pounce while you still can and maybe snog the boy at the Ball- ”

“Merlin Dad stop!”

“Sirius, are you really telling our fourteen-year-old son to snog someone? Did I really just hear that?” Father puts in. He gives a head shake at Dad’s shrug before turning his attention to his son. 

Who looks like he’s going to bolt away from them at any second now.

 “Orion if you are interested in Hadrian that’s fine but don’t go rushing into a relationship. And no below the belt touches until-”

“GOODNIGHT FATHER, DAD. I’M HEADING BACK NOW”

Orion runs all the way back, his face a bright red hue and a determination to avoid his parents for the rest of the week. He’s not sure he be able to look at Hadrian in the eye tomorrow either.  

Turns out this is way his parents bring up his friend so much. How long have they been thinking Orion has feelings for his friend and when in the world did they figure him out?! 

longing.

So the two blades are named after Ueda's ability.

雨月物語　Ugetsu monogatari, Tales of rain (雨) and moon (月)

But also one of them manipulates space time and the other, the one for the moon, manipulates life force.

The moon is related to Atsushi's ability beast under the moon. His ability is regeneration.

And the rain is related to Akutagawa's ability! Have you read Rashoumon? Rain and cloth.
