yuri week: alternate universe

I FUCKING LOVE YURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby 5 x Sai (28): "AHHHHHH THESE TWO ARE ADORABLE!!! THEY OWN MY HEART<3 Baby 5 has always wanted to be needed and useful to ppl ever since her mom abandoned her as a child, and this leads to her doing things from acts of service to lending money (with no return) to even offering to KILL herself to help her enemy. However, her enemy--Sai--immediately stops her even if it was to be his advantage, and then puts some sense into her when he points out how her "family" (lowkey a cult) has been using her and how she has completely equated her worth to how she can serve others without thinking of herself. This, of course, heightens her affections for him (which had been growing throughout their fight), and through a funny series of events they end up engaged ON THE BATTLE FIELD XDDD

In summary, they're honestly so cute! She's overly affectionate & he's a tsundere, and while he might act a big gruff and resist her affections, he does really care for her. They really play off each other, plus they're both incredible fighters and characters and just all-around complement each other<3"

Katrielle x Emiliana (19): "A classic enemies to lovers dynamic, though I interpret it as one-sided enemies. Emiliana convinces herself that she has to be Katrielle’s rival, due to the different ways they approach cases (Katrielle mostly goes on gut instincts while Emiliana prides herself on her profiling skills and data collecting); however Katrielle just seems to be going along with it. Throughout the game, Katrielle teases Emiliana, which flusters and confuses Emiliana. As the game goes on, Emiliana will eventually tease back. Also, in one of the game’s later episodes, Emiliana purposefully throws others off of Katrielle’s trail, giving Katrielle the chance to figure things out herself. Based on the profile Emiliana made for Katrielle, she knew where Katrielle would go, so she could have pointed everyone to her. She chose not to."

I once read a fic that ended with the punchline that Katrielle had been flirting with Emiliana pretty much since they met, and Emiliana just hadn’t noticed until it was practically spelled out for her. I like that interpretation!

Suffice to say, the way they interact is plenty of evidence. Katrielle has fun teasing Emiliana, who occasionally teases back. Also, just *everything* about the game’s version of the murder case.

Anyway, I’ve gone on long enough! I love these two <3 They’re my favorite Layton pairing (aside from a rarepair in an AU)

My piece for the Layton Big Bang of 2024! I decided to do a manga-eqsue cover for @lordstormageddidnt (the_oncoming_stormageddon on AO3)'s fic, "The Untapped Romantic Potential of Murder."

I don't really draw LMJ characters often, so it was nice to do it for once lol
