!! Thanks Sparrow!!

Here's the commentary!! It's. Pretty long. Since the whole fic is kind of one scene, I ended up just talking about the fic as a whole.

And here's the photoset >:) top two from Call of the Night, middle two from BSD, then a manga panel from BSD, and the last are unsplash photos.

mostly working on a bsd fic, right now!

no specific scenes right now, but there's a repeating thing about shades of gray and probably some dawn / dusk motifs, since i think i saw something about fundamental bsd scenes happening when the sun is setting or rising.

@erstwhilesparrow you asked for rambling so. um. yeah.

so petals! i stole the name from amazing devil’s song blossoms, and i think this is the second fic i’ve named from it? i’m not sure why, but it has these vibes that just relate to people who once had something together, and try to reconcille with something that went wrong, which fits!

anyways, the fic is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different time period because that’s the only way i can think of to break this up, with the first two having more unevenly split pov’s than the last two. so i’m expecting it to be Long, because i’m barely a scene into it and it’s already nearing 1,000 words and the first chapter (diluc’s) has to cover eighteen years of getting to know each other.

of course. it’s canon compliant, so it ends with their fallout, but! last two chapters fix that up, so :3

it’s kaeya, so i have to have a bit of a star motif happening, and there might be some sun/moon things because i love the imagery. fire tends to work its way into a lot of my romance focused things, and with diluc being a pryo user? it’s bound to happen here, so i have a lot of things i want to incorporate into the scenes, even if i pretty much only have the first chapter’s ending planned.

look, there’s something special about meeting your soulmate and growing up with them, and petals may or may not take that and then ruin it, breaking any trust between them, because kaeya may be spying and then diluc is gone, and there can’t be any trust after that.

me tying starting over with flowers blooming?? and tossing that at soulmates?? probably a thing.
