Chapter Index.

The Sun Deity blessed a small little family, and the twin brothers grew up to have special abilities. Yoriichi had the powers of the sun, Michikatsu had the powers of the moon.

Their mother Akeno loved and adored them.

Akeno didn’t have a present or a kind husband unfortunately. She always took the hits and protected her sons. For that, Michikatsu started to desire strength. He hated their father and could never comprehend why Yoriichi was still being nice to that man.

Michikatsu started to drift away from his brother. He trained by himself. He once heard that his twin brother went to the mountains and befriended a couple. He was a bit envious. It seemed so easy for people to like Yoriichi.

***

“Come along with me Yoriichi, I can make you strong, and there will be more people soon enough.”

A man offers his hand to Yoriichi. He doesn’t understand. Why him? He doesn’t yet take the man’s hand. He is really undecided. Plus, what of his friends Sumiyoshi and Suyako? They just had their daughter Sumire, and Yoriichi promised to visit. Not to mention that Uta would be there. Uta..Yoriichi wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She is carrying their child after all. He can’t even think of leaving her alone.

“I’m sorry, but there are people I cannot leave.” His answer was final, there should have been no changing his mind.

“Then what if you bring them with you?”

And this was all it took for him to decide that he will do that.

“Alright.” He accepts it.

This is the beginning.

…

Demons were created by the King, the first Demon- Kaguya Ubuyashiki. How unfortunate that he could not rid himself of his illness completely. Instead, he changed so much in personality, and became a brand new creature.

The thing was, he still loved his family, he only cared about them. So he turned his wife Amane, and all of their children. He wanted to keep them forever by his side.

The first demon he turned was Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Yoriichi became his first uppermoon. From then on, many demons were created until the world was filled with an irreversible change.

Kaguya’s second uppermoon was Gyomei Himejima. The third was Tengen Uzui. The fourth was Obanai Iguro. The fifth was Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira’s son. The sixth was Shinobu Kocho.

Kaguya’s first lowermoon was Giyuu Tomioka. The second was Mitsuri Kanroji. The third was Kanae Kocho. The fourth and fifth were the Tokito twins Muichiro and Yuichiro.

They were the important ranks.

On the other side of things…Muzan Kubujitsi was collecting strong humans in his own organization to defeat the demons.

He had named them the Hashira. His members consisted of…

Michikatsu Tsugikuni, the Moon Hashira. Hakuji, the Martial Arts Hashira. Douma, the Ice Hashira. Kotoha Hashibara, the Beast Hashira. Shinjuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira. Shizu Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira. Managi, code name Gyokko, the Art Hashira. Hantengu, the Emotion Hashira. Nakime, the Resonance Hashira. Ume, the Ribbon Hashira. And Gyutaro, the Poison Hashira.

Chapter 10: Weinberg & Edinburgh CW: Near death experience mentioned, attempted assassination, forbidden friendship.

A/N: A bit longer but not it’s not an ender (which I tend to make season enders longer or the actual end of the fic longer).

Cosette had been trying hard to figure out why her two siblings did not make any effort to get close to her. Sure, her appearance was sudden, but after that, she just didn’t understand.

They never stayed in the same room when she approached. They didn’t eat dinner with her either. She sat alone in the dining room, until the Grand Duke came into the room. Cosette heard that Ludwig usually eats alone in his office, not today. Today he was sitting across from her at the dining table. He was a quiet man, but he spoke one time to her, “That really is your name?”

“…Yes your grace, my name is Cosette.”

Her confirmation was important. The expression on the Grand Duke’s face told her so. He didn’t look like that at the birthday banquet, because he has a resting cold face.

“Rowena told me once that she would name her daughter Cosette.”

She was paying attention when her mother was mentioned for she knew only the things her uncle told her about her mother. Cosette never got to meet her mother.

Ludwig continues speaking, “She said it was a secret for me, because she was embarrassed. Planning names early was something that made her nervous.”

“Mother told you my name ahead of time?”

“…Yes.”

“What if I was a boy?” Cosette asked.

“Your name would have been Christian.”

She somehow felt happy and sad at the same time. She wished she didn’t have to learn this from Ludwig and not her own mother, but she was also grateful that he told her. She heard things about Ludwig, that he was a cold man, scary and not very into conversation. She was lucky he even accepted her into his house.

She did something very risky, she had given him a hug after he finished speaking. Ludwig did not push her away, surprisingly. No, he accepted it and even hugged her back, just more hesitant. She was happy.

*** ”It is a very stupid idea.”

“Shut up.” Erez said.

Inside the magic tower was Erez Shore, son to the viscount and viscountess, and of course older brother to Daphne Shore. The magic tower belonged to him, who was the only one in the Shore family to awaken magic. Well, his magic was mostly thanks to almost drowning and contracting a demon, which was the only speaking to him and telling him how his ideas are stupid or terrible, sometimes even both.

When Erez was five, the incident happened. He had heard someone speak to him, but he was just a foolish kid who was able to be persuaded into this contract. He owes the demon now. The demon on the other hand, was just interested in how Erez would awaken, and how Erez would pay him back. “You know I’m right little magician, you shouldn’t try to talk to that girl now. Such a vulnerable state, especially since she met Ragibach’s contractor.”

Erez stopped sorting through the book. Ragibach was another demon, one that was hated and considered a traitor to the demon realm, Yurr- the demon Erez has a contract with now- mentioned that woman a few times. She was referred to as ‘that woman’ by Yurr most of the time. “I’m sorry, what?”

“Oh you didn’t hear? Cosette and that girl are sisters, half sisters might I add. They come from houses that hate each other, and Ragibach has a contract with Cosette’s mother. Can you imagine how that girl would react to find out her half sister has a contract with a demon?”

Erez gave Yurr a look. This one was communicating annoyance and being absolutely done with Yurr’s attitude. “You’re seriously trying to enjoy a fight between siblings?”

“I am a demon.”

“Right, yeah…a demon who has serious gambling issues and the desire to win. Typical. Just don’t mess up Keira’s life because of it.”

Yurr argues, “That’s a tough order little magician.”

But the demon didn’t say much else with that amused expression of his.

——

*** Cosette took a step inside her great aunt’s house. This was the first visit, but she was still nervous. Johanna was still the Saint of Beatrix. Cosette wanted to make a good impression.

The woman was older, but not someone who could be deceived.

“My name is Cosette Weinberg,” she begun with her introduction. Then she explains, “I’m here because I need to know how to dispel the doubts of the people. I am the Grand Duke’s daughter as much as Keira is, I deserve this chance.”

Johanna considered Cosette’s words which was hopefully a good thing. Cosette did her best to keep a strong expression.

“If you want to prove yourself without manifesting, then you should perform this rite with Keira.”

Johanna’s answer seemed simple enough. However, Cosette has one single concern.

“But…She is not speaking to me right now, how do I begin to do something so sacred with her?”

“She would want confirmation by this, so trust me.” Johanna answers Cosette’s concern.

“Alright, I will.”

Days passed and the day of the rite came. This was a tradition in the Parvis family too. The Goddess would send a divine beast to care for, one Parvis sister would care for the divine beast, one would look after a relic, and they would each make their own prayers at the end of the days.

Keira finished a bit early, leaving it to just Cosette. She finally chose the words she wanted the most in her prayer to the Goddess. Cosette made sure the feathered quill was in its holder when she was done.

The people of the temple were kind to both girls, even though the Grand Duke had not announced anything about Cosette yet. The people of the temple believed in being kind to all their visitors, especially those part of Johanna’s family. They made sure to tell Cosette more information about this tradition, the rules, and how even some prayer inspirations that she could use to find ideas for her own prayer. All those tips were used.

“Are you finished lady Cosette? It is almost closing time.”

“…One more line.” She replies.

…

Last and final day of this tradition. The two girls were ready.

Keira had gone first because she finished first.

“I ask the water goddess for all truths to be found out one day, and that we learn more about ourselves each day. And I wish that she would be a witness to my promise of change. Praise the goddess.”

Cosette goes second, her nerves were completely gone.

“I ask the water goddess to believe that I am doing my best to fit in the Parvis family. I wish to be a Parvis that my family is proud of, and to get along with all of them. I promise to be patient so that this moment comes as the goddess sees fit. Praise the goddess.”

The two girls bow down and then the rite ends. The people of the temple are proud of them both.

Okay but what do you mean Luciella in the playable version of Rhianna and Luciella is not real anymore?

because she died- she died in the new story!

What do you mean Severin (head of Velen whom Rhianna and Luciella call mom) betrayed the whole group by telling Rhianna and Luciella to kill every dang member of Velen. What do you mean she promised the twins she would grant their wishes in exchange for literally targeting EVERY member. What do you mean Severin calls Rhianna disgusting?

Also I wanna mention that Severin kept calling Rhianna by Luciella’s name, when Severin kills Luciella.

I think it’s because Luciella was starting to doubt Severin, because Velen has some rules (which one is to never question the orders and just get them done) but Luciella was slowly questioning things.

The twins went to hunt the number 2 best assassin (referred as Mr. Serious by the twins) and he begins to make Luciella have doubts, but Rhianna lands the killing blow on him instead of hearing him out (Luciella requested it by saying “maybe we should hear some more”). They return home to Severin who calls them one by one to “grant their wishes”. Luciella says that Rhianna can go first, and then Luciella goes.

While Luciella is telling Severin her wish (to go on a trip with Severin and Rhianna- mind you Luciella and Rhianna were trapped in a basement going hungry and not seeing the light for a long time until they passed Velen’s test- they became assassins at a young age) people appear and surround Rhianna. They say Luciella is gone. She starts losing it, refusing that her twin is gone.

…Rhianna proceeded to go back to Severin’s room and finds a bloody Luciella and pays no attention to anything else. Rhianna is breaking down and saying “This is just a disgusting and horrible nightmare” (there was the fact that you could envision the mental breakdown because the text was wiggling and blending together so you can tell they were showing her going insane over Luciella’s death.)

Luciella said she was always watching Rhianna’s back :(

So Luciella dies and goes back to the cult (Kayron is the boss of this cult) she said she’ll do anything to get Luciella back.

Rhianna passes a trial and believes she has her sister back, BUT based on the fact that Severin was only acknowledging Rhianna, LUCIELLA COULD NOT BE SEEN.

So it feels like Luciella did not come back from the dead, she’s just rebuilt from Rhianna’s memories.

I’m sobbing.

Luciella isn’t real :(

I’m trying to beat corrupted Severin so I can fish the stor. (Been stuck on her for two days LEMME SEE THE REST OF THE LORE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ANGSTY AS HECK)

I love these two.

Anyway based on the story Rhianna is basically a follower of Dark Priest Kayron because screw Severin. (Rhianna offered to make the Velen that Severin dreamed of hence the boss fight).

I THOUGHT SEVERIN WAS GONNA BE A DECENT MOTHER FIGURE BUT SMILEGATE LOVES THEIR ANGST AS MUCH AS HOYOVERSE AGHH!

Couldn’t even let the new moonlight hero be happy.

”The top model Roana has gone missing. So we announce our new rankings for today’s show. Our current top model is Bellona Moune of Myungwol, who was formerly rank two. Speaking of rank two, we have Armin of Bad Cat! Granddaughter of the CEO of Armiku Company that sells all the best jewelry in our area. We currently do not have anyone in rank three. And as always, thank you for all participation.”

“Tch. I don’t know who any of those people are.” Luluca complained. The tv was on the news channel, talking about the modeling industry which she has no interest in. She and Roana, the announced missing model were childhood friends who promised to be model and designer.

But Roana joined a company under a man named Straze and was never seen again.

Luluca was working part-time at a convenience store that no one stops by at. Well, people do stop by, Luluca just scares them off if she hates their attitude. She was annoyed she had to scavenge for money these days. No design school accepted her, her whole dreams went down the drain. This industry is tough for people.

Her boss was not even a decent man either but Luluca is tough enough to handle it.

“Did you scare off another customer? I’ll definitely fire you later today.”

“…No you won’t. I’m the only one who can get customers to come.” She mutters.

“What was that?”

“Nothing.” She answered.

Oh her boss knew that she had said something, he knew the words she said, but he never acts on firing her. She doubts that he ever will because she is good at her job.

“You better bring in a trustworthy co-worker!”

Luluca might be able to do that. She did make another friend. “You got it boss.”

The news channel had gone from reporting about models to something else that she was not interested in around this time, so she turned off the tv.

Things would have been much better if she had Roana to rely on.

But the first time she heard the news…

“Listen lady, you can’t get here.”

“But I am her childhood friend.”

The police says sarcastically, “Sure, and I am a personal bodyguard.”

“Listen here, I can tell you things about Roana that you don’t know! I can prove that I know her personally.”

Luluca tried to get by a police man, but he didn’t believe a word she said, because Roana never got Luluca involved in the modeling industry. But she was desperate to see Roana’s house again, she held up a key. “Look! I even have a key to her house! Only friends would have this.”

“You have a key?” The policeman was stunned and had finally believed Luluca’s words.

Then another girl showed up. “I’m friends with Roana too, can we borrow her house?” She holds up another key, same shape and color as the one Luluca was holding.

He let the two girls inside. Lilibet was the other, she introduced herself to Luluca and made a simple offer, “Become my model.”

The designer and model go together, and Lilibet was a designer with no model.

“My company is called “Blooming Lily”, and I need someone as a model. You’re perfect, and we both know Roana.”

Luluca refused at first, but thinking back on that moment now–

It wasn’t bad at all. If Luluca had accepted right away, they could have gotten along better.

Luluca debuted as Blooming Lily’s model.

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･

Crinkle

“Blooming Lily?”

The apparently missing model, Roana, was reading a newspaper. It was about Luluca’s debut. Yes, she happy for her friend, but she doesn’t want Luluca to have a different designer.

Roana studied as both a model and designer under her designer, Straze. Although, she was doing more than just following his methods of designing.

“If you crush that paper any harder, you won’t be able to see her face.”

Roana gasped. Straze was right. She immediately flattened it on the table and began fixing it. “That’s not good, I need to see her!”

She didn’t care how she sounded, she just wanted to see Luluca because she couldn’t return just yet.

“There are people rebelling from a neighboring country and your first thought is to check in with how your friend is doing…”

“Straze! She is important! I promise I will fight those rebels later.”

Somehow, she was a really good fighter, that’s why he believed her. He also believed her because he thought of her as someone special. They loved each other.

“Those rebels are close, guess I need to speak with the leader herself.”

Roana glances at Straze, her curiosity overtaking her previous emotions. “Which country is this?”

“Perland.”

“Ah, so your contact is Lilias?”

Straze confirms, “Precisely.”

He pressed the digits, he was going to call her. “Lilias. I need you to send a soldier or two that you trust, the rebels of your country are coming to where I am.”

“You got it. I’ll send you Violet. Just look for a dark haired man with long blackish scar across his right eye.” Lilias answers on the other end.

Rinak had never seen a beautiful girl before, until she meets Skinneri’s friend who is also an Heir with the Guardian named Zeaon.

Main Masterlist: I Dream of You, Almost Every Night.

Prev – Prologue || Next - Chapter 2: Victorika.

Hanien did not care that Rinak was stealing from a rich man. That man locked her up for so long that she became weakened, unable to leave because she had no Heir. If Rinak had not come, what would have become of this Guardian? Hanien was aware that Ras Elclare would miss her. The Guardians also adored Diche’s creation.

“Rinak. Where are you going today?”

“Hanien, I need you to keep Robin busy while I shop around Lefundos.”

Hanien could do the simple things Rinak asked for.

The markets were Rinak’s favorite places to go. Along the way, she sees another girl, talking to a guy about health.

“I’ll heal you so leave it to me.” The girl sounded like some basic novel heroine. Rinak almost passed by, but the girl spoke again, “My name is Ruele Destina, but you can call me Ruele good sir. I am Destina’s Soul Weaver, the successor of beasts and light.”

Ruele? As in…Skinneri’s other friend, Ruele? Rinak found herself chiming in, “You’re Ruele?”

“Ah, you must be Rinak. Skinneri told me that you really adore my rabbit fortune cookies. I hoped we would meet so that I can give you more.”

“So you…are the other friend she mentioned.” Suddenly, Rinak’s previous thought made her feel guilty and she decided she wasn’t going to think of it. No one would know anyway.

“Yes, it seems like Neri likes talking about you to me.”

Rinak was suddenly self-conscious, she was a thief after all. “…What does she say about me?”

“She said that you’re very clumsy.” Ruele said.

CherryJuice chilling in Heartslabyul while the others can hear the music switching over and over. Like imagine if the other dorms heard it too (like the music carrying from dorm to dorm).

@cherryjuiceweek26

A/N: No long fic this time.

Of course we have to start with Heartslabyul, because that’s where the music is at.

Riddle:

He has absolutely no idea why those two won’t just pick one song and agree to it! Like has being in his dorm taught them nothing about peace and order?! As the song switches again, he shouts, “IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THEN IT IS OFF WITH YOUR–“ The music was immediately turned off completely…boo.

Trey:

It’s actually funny to him that the song lyrics keep getting cut off because of the constant song switching. Instead of getting annoyed though, he just vibes. Having music on while he baked is fun, even if the song keeps changing midway through.

Cater:

He’s already recording the combo of the switching songs. “#Multi-soundtrack. Let’s go, we vibe.” He also makes up some random dances while recording.

Leona:

He doesn’t know why the heck the music keeps switching. He’s the second one who says, “Make up yer mind already.” Cause like Riddle, he finds it super annoying.

Ruggie:

Doesn’t care. He honestly finds himself wondering what song is coming next and when it will end. He’s just trying to win bets he made with other dorm members. “So this should be the next song.” Well, he better be right or those 50 thaumarks aren’t his.

Jack:

Honestly confused. Like what are Ace and Deuce doing in there?

Azul:

He thinks they’re idiots, but at least the music taste is decent.

Jade + Floyd:

They’re both amused really. The only difference is that Floyd is actually dancing along to the songs.

Kalim:

Not a thought in his head, just vibes. He too, is dancing along to the music, he thinks the way it switches makes it much more fun.

Jamil:

Used to this chaos (unfortunately). He got dragged into dancing five minutes ago.

Vil:

Wishes those two would just pick something because he can barely concentrate on anything else. He has the urge to tell Ace and Deuce “Honestly, you two are breaking my concentration, pick one song or turn it off.”

Rook:

…Already left Pomefiore to go to Heartslabyul and enjoy the lovely music up close and personal.

Epel:

Idiots, that’s what he thinks they are. But he also finds it unfair, they should have invited him. He could put on a good track!

Idia:

Honestly, this is the first time he has not had a panic attack over something. He first decided to ignore the music coming from Heartslabyul, but then, he bargained with himself and said, “Background OST is part of the game” and decided this is fine.

Ortho:

He honestly hoped he could add some songs to the track and hear it fully without the switching.

Malleus:

Honestly invested because he has never heard that music before and is trying to commit every song to memory to look them up later.

Lilia:

Amused by how funny the song switching is. He doesn’t mind the fact that he has to hear it because of the thin walls. No, he actually likes hearing the different songs.

Silver:

Already fell asleep five songs ago. Of course he was curious about them when he was awake.

Sebek:

He claimed that this had nothing to do with him and easily went back to his training.

”Oi, Deuce, that song is stupid. Just listen to this one.” He pressed the button on the radio.

Deuce was about to switch the song again, but Ace already had a new tactic. He grabs Deuce’s wrist.

“Don’t change it. If you try, I’ll…kiss you.”

“…What?”

“What?” Ace mocks Deuce’s confusion. “You heard me.” He said.

“Wanna be your muse” ᰔᩚ

Merry had paint on her face as usual, she truly gets it on her face a lot. Such is the life of an artist.

Her tail curls so cutely as she focuses only on the painting in front of her. She was just about to make another stroke of red when you came into her room. The chameleon’s curled tail swapped from yellow to red and then back in a very quick moment. “Oh…?! I was just finishing up…” She was really embarrassed that she was lost in her painting.

You had really seen some development in her, she was less startled and didn’t try to blend in or disappear this time. Much better than the first meeting where she accidentally made people assume she was a ghost. Her paintings got more attraction too!

“Hm? Do you…want to paint something on my work?” Merry offers up the paintbrush. She doesn’t let her works be touched by other ‘Family’ or ‘Fellows’– but she trusts you wholeheartedly.

When you take the brush from her hand, she actually smiles fully this time, and says, “Paint whatever you want!”

And somehow it ends up being her, which makes the work more gorgeous.

“So when I die, which I must do…

Could it shine down here with you?” ᰔᩚ

You didn’t even know those two wished to invite you to join them. By that, well, join their relationship. They didn’t consider themselves a thing publicly, but they did show subtle signs besides being super close in each other’s spaces. For instance, the fact they shared an earring, a long red tassel, was such subtle hint.

Jingliu would say, “You don’t understand those two idiots. They do have each other, but it’s not long before you’ll be wearing that earring too.”

Baiheng would say, “Look how cute they are, you make them jealous whenever you hangout with one and not the other.”

Of course, even the youngest, Jing Yuan would add his two cents, “They give you so many gifts already, I don’t think it’s a hint anymore…” his little lion cub, Mimi, would meow in agreement, since she couldn’t quite roar.

The High Cloud Quintet members noticed these things, but you hadn’t. So eventually, Yingxing and Dan Feng came to you, clumsily wording their invitation in a way that was clear enough for you to understand, no doubt was left. This day was a happy day for the three of you, becoming more than just friends.

That’s why it had to end….

—

The Emanator of Abundance, Shuhu, was stronger than the group anticipated. Jingliu’s sword was cracked, this one was designed by Yingxing, so it should not have been broken like that…this is the proof of an Emanator’s strength. Shuhu was bored with the fight, and Jingliu couldn’t use her sword, so Baiheng stepped in.

No one could have predicted that Yaoshi would have an attack type Emanator. Shuhu killed Baiheng, not instantly, but drawn out painfully since Baiheng could last a bit longer than a regular human– she was a foxian. Still, a longer life doesn’t guarantee not being ended.

Jingliu held the fallen foxian. You knew she loved her so much, that they ran the Quintet together as co-leaders. You had given them space, there was not much else you could do.

“Yingxing!” Dan Feng called, catching your attention then. You realized two members were being lost.

Well, almost.

Selfishly, the vidyadhara ripped out one of his hearts, he could live with only one, it takes much more to kill a chosen one of Long the Permanence. He just couldn’t stand the thought of losing someone else, the way they lost Baiheng. If only he could bring them back to life.

That’s how he became a sinner.

Dan Feng was the last to be lost, and he went not knowing Yingxing would hate him forever for what he did.

Dan Feng went not knowing his next life would be hated and reminded of him. When a vidyadhara reincarnates, past lives and present ones are no longer the same person.

— Ivan:

☆ When not on stage, he wears other colors besides black.

☆ Ivan and Mizi are actually best friends even in reality and would’ve loved for their characters to have more interactions.

☆ Ivan and Sua are blood related in reality, while their characters are not and merely think of each other as siblings (mostly in Ivan’s part). Despite not being the same gender, they do not fight and typically get along. People think that they would insult each other like how people believe most siblings do.

☆ The gang went to the same school when they were younger.

☆ Ivan and Luka don’t hate each other, they’re just colleagues who cannot work together well as they have different opinions. But they do try to be nice to one another.

☆ Ivan is on good terms with Till’s mother.

— Sua:

☆ Ivan has experience being an idol, so he had often invited Sua to sing as well because she does have a good voice for it.

☆ She and Mizi are openly dating, like the other couples of the cast.

☆ The child who plays the pink haired clone actually favors working with Sua and Mizi.

☆ Sua likes watching drunk Mizi, because Mizi is a lightweight and becomes silly.

☆ Sua was taught some basic skills in the piano and guitar.

☆ She was the one who suggested making alternative versions and spin-offs of the show since it received so much love.

— Luka:

☆ People wonder if his fingers are actually cold constantly because he clarified that they are actually that light purple-ish in real life. He also said that he is healthy despite it.

☆ Luka isn’t upset that the children on set favor who they favor, because the children are still polite to him and love working with him.

☆ People like to joke that they can’t tell out of Hyuna, Luka, and Mizi- who the cutest and shyest actor is. However, Luka says he would rank himself second to Mizi in this, while Hyuna still has more confidence than the two of them and doesn’t get flustered easily making her third place for this.

☆ Luka doesn’t like bitter stuff, he makes things tooth-rotting sweet.

☆ Luka likes keychains and stuffed animals. He also buys those things to share with the children.

☆ Hyuna likes dragging Luka to the arcade.

☆ She and Mizi are best friends who like wearing matching clothes and accessories from time to time.

☆ Hyuna absolutely cried when some of the cast were only extras and had to die for the plot.

☆ Hyuna likes spicy and bitter stuff compared to Mizi and Luka who like sweeter stuff.

☆ It took her so many takes to do the one scene where she was trying to upload data. She said in an interview, “I actually kept looking up and down and all over again, I told the director that it was a miracle I wasn’t dizzy! It was hard to act out a multi-tasking scene.”

— “Pink-Haired Clone”:

A/N: You can tell LDR and Mitski songs give me the most fanfic ideas 😂 Anyway, here’s an AU and non canon compliant fic for the day.

Someone decided to be a jerk, not Deuce type jerk, but meaner. In fact, Deuce was involved but not the one saying poor words in a way of defending himself, or teasing his friends without crossing their boundaries. The person in front of Deuce was the one telling Deuce thus…

“I can’t believe that you even have friends! You have the suckiest personality in NRC. How can they stand you?”

SMACK!

“Urgh!…”

“Haaah? Did ya say that to Deuce? Well, whose personality sucks huh? You’re the one spouting nonsense. He has friends because he respects them.” Ace said. He dusted off his hands from the punch he threw. He swore to be honorable, he swore that his mother and older brother would never hear a single report about him getting in trouble, but this irked him enough to break his personality for one moment and fix what had been said. A punch was the least this guy deserved. “How about you, huh? I bet your friends would leave as soon as they heard you getting onto someone else for how they act.”

The throbbing pain was the guy’s lesson.

Ace wasn’t afraid of getting in trouble to protect his friends. Plus, his older brother said it’s cool to protect those you care about.

“Agh, so strong…”

“Apologize to Deuce, or you’ll get another.” Ace said.

The other guy got up and muttered an apology and disappeared fast enough for it to be considered a retreat. Well, at least the lesson is learned.

Ace was checking on Deuce, even though it might be unwanted. Plus, they’re the type of friends who deny being friends in the first place.

…Or maybe they’re a bit more than friends, who knows?

Prev: Friends || Next: Weinberg & Edinburgh

Chapter 9: Zeke’s 13th Birthday

So what exactly happened on this day planned by Keira Parvis?

Fasting forward, Zekehart Parvis was soon to be 13. This is a day Keira looked forward to. She was proud that her brother was growing up.

Keira had gotten help from a mix of people….

Daphne was helping Rose with the strawberry cake, Arabella was talking about which outfit would suit Zeke best, Joseph and the other Knights of Parvis were in charge of decorating (Arthur was dramatic about it).

Interestingly enough, the Grand Duke was the only one not involved in these preparations. Though that might have also been because he was the host, and he had his own hands full.

Keira was entrusted with something important, so she was doing her best.

She wasn’t alone anymore.

Finally it was the day of Zeke’s birthday banquet. She was listening as the Grand Duke spoke the welcoming speech…she knows she inherited her speeches from him. It was quite obvious in some ways that she and Ludwig were truly blood.

Once Ludwig announced the gift portion, that’s when it happened.

Keira had noticed that Count Issac Weinberg was in atttendance, why would he be here? Weinberg and Edinburgh did not like each other, in fact– Issac and Simon disliked each other a whole lot. She was so sure Isaac wouldn’t come, yet was completely wrong right now.

The man had looked to his left side, then he turned towards Keira’s 13-year old brother. Issac introduces himself, “I am Issac Weinberg. My gift to you is simple…I brought the real to save you from that fake.”

His words started the crowds whispering, their shock, their hungry curiosity, and everything got mixed up from there.

“Excuse me?-“ Zeke didn’t like how Isaac insulted his sister. Who cared if there was a heavy claim? Keira was the one he grew up with, the one who named him. So why should he listen to the Count spout nonsense that drags down Keira’s name? He could just ignore it, like avoiding the ramblings of a mad person.

“Oh my apologies, I don’t mean it like that. I just mean that I want to introduce my niece, Cosette.”

“Be more clear next time, you quite literally insulted the Grand Duke’s daughter. Sister is not a fake. Her awakening is late.” Zeke defended his sister, of course he would. Taking the side of a person known all your life was a given.

“Yes, quite right.”

Around this time, Cosette had shown herself to everyone, giving a little curtsy. “My name is Cosette.”

She looked like someone just starting to learn everything, perhaps she was also blindsided by being introduced suddenly, by the fact she has two younger siblings. ——

*** She didn’t know she would be meeting family today.

All she knew was that her uncle was going somewhere and wanted debut her while there.

And then, he introduced her as ‘the real to replace that fake’ and she became uncomfortable. Cosette did not like that introduction, and she was hoping it wouldn’t make her hated too much. She was unsure of how to be, noble etiquette was confusing, and she studied so much in so little time that she was sure she would mess up and look clumsy.

But nothing prepared her for their facial expressions, Keira’s frozen shock and betrayal, Zeke’s clear disdain and refusal to accept and acknowledge Cosette. Of course, she deserves it, but she was also caught unfairly off guard by the decision of her uncle. So, it still hurt when they looked at her like that.

“Say that again.” Ludwig's voice cut through the argument between Zeke and Issac.

“My name Grand Duke? I am Cosette.”

Ludwig at least was acknowledging her somehow. Only he acknowledged her.

“Isaac Weinberg, we should chat about your mistake later, this is my son’s birthday. Cosette, you may stop by.”

Summary: How do they try to win over the mortal they have a crush on.

A/N: Thank you for your request Anon! You don’t know how excited I got when I got something that I can do. I hope this is satisfactory or what you asked for. Tagging it x reader because you didn’t specify who the mortal crush is (and because I want to start writing x reader stuff but not long ones).

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Aha:

THEY are not usually serious, however this matter is the most important. It must have been drilled in THEIR mind that sincerity would win over the person THEY care about more than playing around, but THEY are the Elation! It cannot be helped. So don’t be surprised if those flowers spray water in your face, THEY love you, really.

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Xipe:

It is pretty easy to tell that THEY are trying to win you over. Why? Ena complain later to you directly saying that Xipe is about to spoil you with another gift! Hopefully you have enough space.

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Yaoshi:

Sharing something that THEY favor might be the key to the heart. THEY hope you will like cherries, otherwise, THEY must think about how little THEY know you, and THEY don’t like the idea of not knowing you.

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Nanook:

Would probably fight someone to impress you, let’s be honest. It’s rare that THEY would have a crush, much less a mortal one, but THEY will show you that you can feel safe and secure because THEY have the strength to keep enemies out of your space. Of course, not just that, but if someone even THINKS of making you uncomfortable, Nanook will destroy their entire planet, just say the word- (or don’t, Nanook’s gaze is constant! Your the only one worth it.)

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Oroboros:

Take your pick of food and drink, THEY certainly can supply things for you. It’s not enough? Then just continue asking THEM for things. Actually, it doesn’t just have to be good and drink, it can be items too. Jewelry? Okay. A weapon? Sure. Clothes? Well this is probably Idrila’s department more than THEIRS but THEY don’t want you to ask anyone else, so what’s your style? Let THEM take care of you.

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Idrila:

Clothes make the person, and if THEY just so happen guess what you want to wear without you telling THEM that’d be a bonus, especially if THEY impress you. That cute expression would be worth THEIR time.

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Lan:

Honestly, THEY were hit with a crush on you, and THEY didn’t know how to deal with it. But every time you praise Yaoshi, or go to Xipe or some wiser Aeon for advice, THEY finally decide that THEY should do something before you end up out of THEIR reach. So one day, upon your visit to the Aeons, Lan pulls you aside to a neatly decorated backyard. THEY want to show off THEIR archery for you, so keep your eyes on THEM. THEY have a great body! Don’t THEY? Plus THEY have a perfect aim, which never fails.

—

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ Tazzyronth:

You don’t want to be THEIR mate? You might actually make THEM cry, not the playful kind- and THEY are an ugly crier. THEY have respected your space for so long, but you won’t even spare a glance! Are the other Aeons truly better? THEY begin to bring you items, such as different plants in a ‘look what I found’ way. Sometimes THEY bring things other than plants, like little charms that THEY believe will finally make you look and realize how much THEY devoted to you. And if those don’t win you over, then THEY begin to get ideas from Ruan Mei’s creations of all creatures! It’s a last resort!

@cherryjuiceweek26

Of course Dylla had to embarrass Deuce in front of his friends.

“So you are the Ace he talks a lot about.”

That’s all it took for his friends to be so smug and entertained. Even Ace himself had that kind of reaction that said he was not letting go of those words he heard.

Deuce definitely would be teased about this for a long time now.

“So, Ace, should I give you the tour?”

Dylla was already offering to show Ace around the Queendom of Roses, and all with a polite smile that also promised more of the ‘stories mom’s use to embarrass their children’ moments. Deuce did not trust his mother to be alone with Ace, he could just imagine all the tales she would tell him. None of them were good. None.

Deuce needed to calm down before he started panicking.

“Oh? There’s a tour now?” Ace was still busy enjoying Deuce’s embarrassment, he needed max level embarrassed Deuce. “Lead the way Ms. Spade.”

——

The tour wasn’t the end of this, Dylla had said there were rabbit costumes prepared for the visitors.

She mentioned how Deuce was already in his.

Ace was trying not to laugh, but curiosity overtook him too. How would Deuce look in a costume like that? Eventually, he was trying to figure out where Deuce went off to.

Epel and Ortho were chatting.

“I don’t know why we have to wear these too. It’s a bother.”

For Epel, he didn’t really care for this costume, because he didn’t want the townsfolk gushing about him being cute.

Ortho and Silver on the other hand, had zero complaints.

Silver was asleep as per usual, even though he was there while Ortho and Epel chatted.

Ace had passed by them, Ortho saying that Ace was on a quest. It was the truth since he had the goal of finding Deuce. Deuce was with some of the children who were enjoying the festival, giving out candy to the children who had properly earned it. Distracted wasn’t something Ace would describe himself as, not usually. But his heart decided that he should feel ultimately distracted. Deuce in a rabbit costume made him stare for a while, not seconds, not minutes, maybe perhaps hours. But another thought Ace had was how well Deuce was treating the children, how those children wore happy smiles and was accepting the candy, how they were climbing on his back and hugging him. The children loved Deuce, it was obvious. Yet, maybe he also loved him.

“Maybe we oughta get out of here Juice.” - A. ”Not Juice, it’s Deuce!” - D.
