๐/๐: hey hey hey remember that time i said i would write friendstory college!au like 4 years ago??? :^) anyway i drew inspiration heavily from mihile's storyline when deciding what each of the chief knights would major in and their backgrounds, with some details we know from the friendstory spin-off. i'm hoping to make this 10 or so chapters long, and there will be multiple romantic endings as well as a non romantic ending!!
โพ. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฌ โ the heiress to one of seoul's largest enterprises, shinsoo corp. majoring in international business to prepare for her birthright position at her family's company, cygnus has all the qualities of a great business woman. don't let her dreamy expression or airy personality fool you โ she's as sharp and strategic as the best in the field.
โพ. ๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ โ an academic prodigy hailing from a small, rural town. he's secured himself as cygnus's right hand, and pursues a degree in accounting to develop a wide skillset that will be useful to cygnus when she takes over shinsoo corp. rather shrewd.
โพ. ๐ฆ๐ข๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ โ he's by no means a natural at anything, but his strong sense of justice, tenacity, and work ethic makes him excel in the field he's passionate forโ criminal justice. he does administrative work at the local police department for part-time work, determined to have his own detective office one day.
โพ. ๐๐๐ค๐ก๐๐ซ๐ญ โ he has the intellect and physical ability to pursue anything he wants, but for a boy who was maliciously orphaned at a young age by the gross negligence of the company his parents worked for, and without reparations from an unfair legal system, a law degree seemed like the only option. cygnus jokes that eckhart can take out all of her competition when he becomes a prosecutor. at least, he's pretty sure that she's joking.
โพ. ๐ก๐๐ฐ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ โ an upper class runaway from busan; his family owns a successful international trading firm. cygnus, recognizing him as the heir to one of her family's business partners, bent the rules to let him attend shinsoo high without his proper credentials, but he rekindled contact with his family in time to apply for college. although surprisingly observant with a great memory, his work ethic for subjects that didn't interest him wasn't going to win any scholarships. his affinity for various sports won him a full ride, and luckily so, since he refused to rely on his family's money. he majors in oceanography and hopes to dedicate his life to advocating for the ocean and it's inhabitants.
โพ. ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ง๐ โ irena is the first of her family to attend college, originally growing up in a humble village on the country side. honoring her family's appreciation for nature, she studies environmental science and hopes to make an impact by working to nurture a cohabitual relationship between nature and humans.
โพ. ๐จ๐ณ โ oz comes from a long lineage of doctoral graduates in the stem field. she's content to continue the tradition, although her goal includes her peculiar penchant for foodโ majoring in chemistry and becoming a food chemist. her parents were a little puzzled at first, but it's a scientific career path that pays well, so they're supportive all the way nevertheless.
โพ. irena is passionately supportive of oz's goals, and encourages her to explore healthy and eco-conscious methods to apply to her studies.
โพ. after running away and ending up at seoul, cygnus allowed hawkeye to live in an unused office at shinsoo high school for a week or two until oz invited him to stay with her family. with a family of seven, one extra addition was barely noticeable. oz's family sends letters and gifts addressed to both of them when college starts.
โพ. despite arguing like brothers most of the time, mihile and eckhart will hang out to watch crime related documentaries together and analyze the procedures.
โพ. mihile, eckhart, hawkeye and irena will play super smash bros on the "family" nintendo switch. oz, irena, neinheart and cygnus play animal crossing: horizons together, but neinheart insists that he be in charge of terraforming. neinheart also believes that tom nook is extorting them by overcharging for renovation services, knowing they can't refuse since nook is the only person in the area who can offer such a service.
โพ. cygnus and neinheart will spend a few hours in the evening once a week to review the household's budget and discuss any maintenance needed or items to buy.
โพ. cygnus and irena maintain the house's intricate garden with a lush and tastefully overgrown aesthetic in mind. hawkeye doesn't know much about keeping plants, but he's eager to offer a helping hand to the girls.
โพ. mihile is a clean freak. everyone will individually see him donning an apron, rubber gloves, and a strip of white fabric keeping his hair out of his face while wiping down an already sparkly clean surface at least five times a day.
โพ. does eckhart ever sleep? if you leave your room in the early a.m. hours, there's a high probability that eckhart is quietly moving about or tapping away at his laptop on the kitchen island. neinheart will also make an ungodly amount of trips to make tea late at night. they stare at each other briefly with an air of respect each time.

Your legs idly swung to and fro, dangling from a thick tree branch swarmed with mosses of all shades between vibrant green and a swampy brown. Ellinia was one of your favorite places to wander when it came to searching for questsโ the air was crisp and fresh, it was never overly sunny, and the area was constantly alive, bustling with people and wildlife. Even now, a little black fox curiously sneaked along a neighboring branch to observe you, and groups of songbirds recited their music from every nook of the town.
A small smile spread across your lips as you lifted your chin high, breathing in the forest scents around you. Ellinia wasn't a bad town to just relax in, either.
The familiarity of your own name soon drew you out of your state of serenity and obliviousness. Your eyes shot open and your head whipped every direction, wondering just who would be calling your name right now. A boy with disheveled black hair stood on a platform below you, grinning with his hands on his hips. He certain stuck out like a sore thumb with his other worldly clothes, which consisted of black jeans, a thin white button up that wouldn't protect him from a green slime, and a simple red tie. A your smile grew wider and toothy at the sight of him.
"Kinesis!" You said, pushing off your branch and landing heavily with a roll. He happily approached while you brushed leaves and moss fiber off your clothes.
"Jeez, it's been a minute," Kinesis said, whistling and stretching his arms out for an embrace. "You look much more at home here than in a short skirt at Shinsoo Academy, that's for sure."
You laughed and pressed your cheek against Kinesis's chest, wrapping your arms around his torso. "Yeah. That kind of sucked. What in Maple World brings you to this side of the universe?"
"Oh, you know, the usual. Vendetta against the black mage, using my powers for good, training to save the world," Kinesis replied, shrugging. You hummed and leaned back, your hands slowly pulling away, but lingering at his wrists. Your eyes stared doeishly up at Kinesis, which he sweetly smiled to.
It almost seemed impossible that he would be standing before you, within your own world. Your mind wandered to memories from months ago, from your time on Earthโ a chance friendship after you had approached a mysterious boy playing chess against himself in a coffee shop. After teaching you the basics of the game and brutally demolishing you, he had shown you all the hottest spots in Seoul as your self-proclaimed guide. Hesitantly, you allowed him to become your adventure buddy through Seoul when he wasn't in school or "practicing chess with a friend", which you quickly discovered meant honing his telekinesis, from the way he helped to decimate motes.
You couldn't deny the certain fondness you had developed for Kinesis during your time together, which had made going back to your own world particularly heartbreaking. Now that he was here and now, standing in front of you, many other thoughts raced through your head.
"Well, hey," you said. "If you ever need somebody to show you the best spots to train, let me know. It's only right that I pay you back from last time!"
Kinesis thoughtfully tilted his head and put his knuckles to his chin while the faint glowing band around his wrist spun and pulsated a little quicker. "I'll be sure to hit you up, then. Listen, I'm running an errand for Grendel right now, I was wondering if you wanted to tag along? If you're not busy, anyway. I thought it would be nice to catch up and fight together like old times, y'know?"
You eagerly nodded, hummed in agreement and excitedly bounced closer to Kinesis, knocking him slightly off balance. He slyly smiled and held your shoulders briefly to keep you still.
"Goodโ I'm glad to have the company. Very glad," Kinesis said.
"Me too," you laughed, quickly brushing past Kinesis before realizing you didn't even know where to go. When you glanced back, Kinesis fumbled to unroll the aged map in his hands, already donning a puzzled expression. You quietly giggled to yourself before bounding back to his side, ready to ask if he needed help with directions. Kinesis affectionately patted your hair and leaned a bit closer, angling the map towards you, causing your heart quicken. While he described where he was meant to go, you enthusiastically pointed at specific points on the map, dragging your fingertip as you spoke.
When you looked up, Kinesis coolly stared into your eyes with a small, charming smile. You quickly looked away and declared it was time to get on the trail once you realized your cheeks probably darkened by a few shades. Kinesis chuckled to himself before catching up to your side.
a/n: SORRY for the post spam today i am just particularly inspired
You yawned, groggily thumbing the crust that had accumulated at the corners of your eyes. The air was crisp and battled the warmth of your coffee, causing swirls of steam to rise and puff from your mug, as if a bonfire raged inside. Afrien sighed at your feet, and vapor from his nostrils clouded around you. Your arm extended to gently pat the tip of his snout. Even if your little farmhouse was too small for the king of onyx dragons, you and Freud were always sure to keep most of your activities outside with him.
Freud quietly padded down the back porch's steps with a ceramic plate in each hand. Both you and Afrien perked up at the scent of freshly cooked bacon, and Freud chuckled as he set the plates down on the table. One had scrambled eggs and a few slices of bacon, and the other plate was absolutely piled with bacon, some slices still sizzling at the top. You licked your lips and rested your heels on the supports of your wooden chair.
While you scarfed down your breakfast, Freud rested his cheek against his hand, and absentmindedly dropped bacon between Afrien's teeth. You spared a glance at him between bites. "Aren't you going to eat?" you asked.
"I ate while I cooked," he replied matter-of-factly. You mumbled an oh, before sipping at your mug.
Once your plate was cleaned, you licked your fingers and wiped them on a napkin Freud had stuck under the dish. "What are you two going to do today?" you questioned. Freud hummed in thought, and Afrien opened one of his golden eyes.
"Nothing to my knowledge," Afrien finally said.
"That's what I thought, old friend, but I wasn't sure," Freud said with a chuckle. You quickly exhaled through your nose and smiled.
"Then perhaps you both would like to join me for a hike and a picnic today," you offered, and both Freud and Afrien made sounds of agreement. You happily clasped your hands together, already thinking about what to pack. "Good, it's settled, then! I'll go pick some berries from the garden to pack."
"And I'll make sandwiches, if that sounds good to you?" Freud said, to which you eagerly nodded to.
"And I shall..." Afrien began, before trailing off in thought. He then met your eyes and decidedly stood to bow, stretching his back and wings. "Sit in the garden beside you and look majestic."
You giggled, and touched his paw. "You're very good at doing that, Afrien." When his large neck lowered and curled around your form, you graciously hoisted your weight up and swung a leg over. Freud grinned as he gathered the dishes to bring in.
"It hardly seems I'm your master, when she's around," he noted. Afrien let out a hearty laugh as his neck rose, bringing you high above the ground.
"You're not the one who will scratch by my horns for hours," Afrien said. You smugly looked over your shoulder at Freud while Afrien began to saunter around the house's exterior. You could tell by his expression that Freud was content with the exchange, and happy that his significant other got along with his dragon companion.
After everything was packed and ready, the hike ended up being less a hike, and more a flight on Afrien's back for a few miles, until Freud pointed out a giant mountain shelf, overlooking a large river. After landing, you spread a soft picnic blanket, and Freud laid out the contents of his basket, along with a couple jars of fresh strawberry juice you had made.
Afrien curled around the blanket, allowing you and Freud to lean against his side. You rested your head on Freud's shoulder as you ate, and when you glanced at him, he stared across the view with a thoughtful smile on his face.
"What's up?" you asked, snapping him out of his musing.
"Nothing," he said. "Just being thankful for the two most important people in my life." You smiled, and looped your arms around his, and Afrien gently swayed his tail back in forth in an expression of joy.
