Middle Grade A Little Too Haunted by Justine Pucella Winans The only thing worse than having ghost hunters for parents is having fake ghost hunters for parents. Luna Catalano would know. Her moms are haunted house flippers who use their home reno skills and pretend psychic powers to turn spooky old houses into ghost-free modern homes. Not only does their job require the family to move all the…

... ah. that face. she could never forget that face. but she knew where deliverance, the one she was mistaking this man for, was ; she remembered seeing his look as she walked away from the pods, could feel his gaze until she turned the corner. he could not be kevin. and yet, when gold met his gaze, a small smile pulled at her lips.  “hello, my friend. is there anything i can help you?”  was he drawn by her song? did he... recognize it?   // @architecti​

loaded muse questions / Not Accepting.

43. What is the biggest risk you’ve taken just to prove yourself?

"Let's just say that while I don't want to be in the Fatui, that doesn't mean I want to be thrown away like dross and rubbish. For that end, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that even if I'm annoying, I'm still a danger to dispose of just for the sake of it. So if I have to burn down temples, kill any friends I could have had, destroy people and lives even when they don't deserve it and no one even told me to - well, all in a day's job, I guess."

"...Would you not say that dying to live, sacrificing a possible future for an uncertain second chance, would count as a great risk to take? For the leylines, at least, such determination defined my worthiness to them."

In a sense, she feels both guilt and happiness. A guilt in a sense that she was too afraid to send those invitations at the very end and happiness because she could be here at this very moment with someone she cares about. Elysia would bring her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and placing her chin down. She hums at his words, but doesn’t yet look at him. Kaveh’s words make the memories of the past come back, but not the past where he as he is now would think of. A moment where she hugged Eden and saw her in all her golden beauty, a moment where Aponia appeared dressed gorgeously and saying she’ll remember her, a moment where Vil-V would smile sheepishly and promise to change history for her, a moment where she last danced with Kevin as he accepted her gentle plea for one last moment of happiness. 

Is Kaveh still as lonely as he was forced to be in the last life as Kevin? It hurts her, it genuinely does. Her honest wish for them has always been their happiness. She wished for Flamechasers to reach a beautiful end and live a good life after their tough fight. They all deserved a life as beautiful as the stars in the sky, the moon, the aurora borealis. It’s why she feels her hold around her knees tighten as she presses her lips together, bothered just enough to let it be shown for a moment before a smile returns to her feminine face. 

“ Haha, I am not lonely if you are here with me, Kaveh, ” she isn’t lying as she smiles at him then. The four people who had seen her depart have told her that she became a human, a flawless human - Elysia. It was now that she regretted not seeing everyone one last time, but such was the past. Right now, she can watch over those she cares about in a new light as new people whenever she meets them. This is why sitting next to Kaveh, learning more about him, becoming friends with him, spending time with him? It’s all treasures she’s ever wanted. Is it not human to wish to be close to those you consider close and important? Is it not human to wish to see those people smile? “ Would me company make you less lonely? Hehe, I didn’t think you’d notice I was away~ I was just thinking to myself. The horizon looks very beautiful from here. ”

The night is coming and the stars will be appearing soon. Would Kaveh remain here until the latest hours with her or will he leave? If she were honest, she wanted him to stay just for a bit longer. Elysia wanted for his company to stay, to remind her that she was still here and it was reality. It wasn’t a dream, right? Sometimes, she still thought it was a dream. It scared her, partially.  

“ I feel more at ease with you here. ”
