Weiss: *Getting dragged out of a wrecked wagon* Let go of me you Brute! You Know not of what I can do! Once my rapier is within my hands you will be kneeling To me!

Jaune: *Carrying her over his shoulder* Pourquoi dit-elle des bêtises? (Why does she speak Nonsense?)

Saphron: Elle vient d'un pays non civilisé. (she is from an Uncivilized land.)

Weiss: Das stinkt! Warum musst du es drinnen schlachten?!? (That reeks! Why must you butcher it inside?!?)

Jaune: *Carving a caribou with practiced ease and gentleness* I Thank you for your sacrifice, and beg forgiveness in following Nature's design. My your rest be long and comforting.

Weiss: *Eating Caribou stew* Jaune?

Jaune: ?

Weiss: Il croit ... à la ... gentillesse?

Jaune: ... Non "Il croit à la gentillesse." Dites "c'est bon". (Not "It believes kindness." Say "It is Good"

Weiss: *Giving a thumbs up* Dites C'est Bon?

Jaune: C'est Bon.

Weiss: C'est Bon.

Willow: *Scrying on Weiss* ... Hmm.

Willow: *Draws a rune on a stone and hold it to her ear* Hello, Tai? You may delay you trip as you see fit. No, no, It's exactly what she needs right now.

Willow: Also, if I know prismeya, which I do, you would need to fight Her. Do you want to face off against her again?

I keep imagining how s fusion of the concepts in Burning Bright and Embers would look like. The Children of Agni and Dragonchildren would actually work rather well imo.

Hi anon! I haven't read "Embers," though I definitely see it mentioned a lot. What are some of the worldbuilding pieces you liked a lot? Or the concepts that caught your attention?

yesssssss

the others would talk i think—their touches interspersed with praise, getting to jason almost/just as much as the way they seem to enjoy him, but tim—

tim isn’t talking

tim is exploring. i’d call it worship—and maybe it still is—but there’s something almost… calculated or scientific about it? he’s mapping out jason’s chest; every scar, stretch mark, freckle, bruise. he’s testing each inch of skin to see if any place gets a reaction from jason—and maybe after a bit just how it feels to him, which spot he derives the most pleasure from.

jason caught between feeling like a lab animal and an object of desire—maybe even emphasis on object~

So I love your writing, and I've had this idea knocking around in my head that I wanted to suggest to you since I had a massage last November (ironically enough, the same day that I started writing my first TMFU fic). I had another massage today, reminding me to send you this idea.

So basically, the idea is Illya is a massage therapist, and Solo is his client/patient. Solo is an ambulatory wheelchair user (like an incomplete spinal cord injury), but due to pain in his back, he is having more bad days than average or good days, so he's using his wheelchair more often than before.

Waverly is his doctor and suggests that he should try getting massages to help manage/reduce Solo's pain. Solo is resistant to the idea but after a few months and several appointments where Waverly suggests he gives it ago he mentions it to Gaby and Gaby is like:

Wait I know a guy, you should totally give it a go. You've been miserable and in pain for months, what's the worst that can happen?

Solo begrudgingly agrees to one session to get her to stop nagging him about it. From the first session, it was incredible. He feels better, so he agrees to another appointment. As the months go by, he starts to feel better, his back pain has been reduced, and he has more good days again. He can start using his other mobility devices like crutches and canes again.

There's obviously the obligatory bumping into each other in public (maybe it's in public that Illya sees Solo using crutches for the first time, so he doesn't notice Solo at first and realises for the first time how tall Solo is, obviously not as tall as Illya but taller than the average dude). Both falling for each other and mutual pining for each other, thinking that the other isn't interested and that their feelings are born from the intimate nature of the massages (also imagine Illya's mortification at falling for one of his patients/clients.)

Then the whole kissing and Illya having to hand Solo's case over to another (not as good) massage therapist, but that's not a big deal when Illya can give him a massage whenever.

*I'm using my laptop for once, and the keyboard is fucked, so please excuse the extra 'e' or absence of 'e' that I have overlooked.

Hey anon, thanks for sending this in! These types of AUs have SO much potential for mutual pining, which is always excellent, because the of the forbidden nature of the relationship.

I imagine that Illya is an exceptional masseuse but he, shall we say, is lacking in the bedside manor department, lol. He's gruff and prickly; clients will try to chit-chat and he just barely responds (or doesn't at all). Of course, this just makes Napoleon want to talk to him more. I also always see Napoleon as an incorrigible flirt, and though I think he'd try to tone it down some given the circumstances, he also can't help himself (not anything suggestive, but stuff that's more harmless). Of course then Illya gets into the massage and renders him speechless. 😂

I think it would take a while for Illya to start opening up a bit, because he absolutely doesn't have personal relationships of any kind with his clients. Maybe when they bump into each other, Napoleon offers to buy him a coffee or something and Illya tries to refuse, but eventually Napoleon convinces him to accept it and they end up sitting in the coffee shop and talking far more than they ever have before.

I feel like Illya would hand off the case earlier than anything really happening because of the conflict of his feelings, but that actually has great potential for angst because Napoleon is upset that Illya's "breaking up" with him as a client, and they don't see each other for a little while.

(I still tear up thinking about it T-T)

Like the Great Deku Tree, he was doomed before it even began. When I first wrote this fic about 2 years ago (things that make you feel old), I decided that he would die. And more importantly, it would be without Link ever having the chance to make things right. His last words to his father would be vitriolic and angry, and he would come to regret it in time

Yet he would never have the chance to apologize and make up for it. And his father's last words would only be worry for him

trust me, losing that kind of chance with someone dear to you will haunt you forever

That could work as well, but honestly I really don’t know much about that (since I’m not that m familiar with the constructicons)
