SoMa Week 2020 Day 5: “We’re not dating!”

@soulxmakaweek

I’ve been a bit behind, but I’m still trying fgsjgdgf

so have this 2k of Soul and Maka watching another Soul and Maka

@soulxmakaweek

Excerpts:

The camera focuses, revealing a handsome young man with silver white hair and hooded red eyes sitting on a sofa.

"Hey guys," he greets, tone calm and cool, if not a tad bit annoyed. "Today we're gonna do something a bit different, courtesy of my [redacted] older brother." He rolls his eyes.

"He's been irritatingly bugging me to watch this one series and I'm honestly just a second away from trying to choke him to oblivion. But since homicide is frowned upon, I decided to be the more mature brother and just watch the thing." He exhales as if this one task is very arduous. "So we're doing a reaction video of A Winter Solstice, first episode."

He stills and looks behind the camera as a faint feminine voice interrupts him.

[Editor: Don't forget about your other penalty, loser!]

The man scowls.

[Editor: Stop dilly-dallying, Soul.]

"Shut up, Liz." Soul's scowl deepens. But he smooths it back to his indifferent expression before speaking, "Right. We're having a guest with me today, as had been widely requested by all of you in all of my social media," he clicks his tongue as he leans back, sounding displeased. 

"A lot of you had been pestering—"

[Editor: requesting]

"—requesting—," Soul parrots, huffing, "—to invite my roommate in my new videos." He pulls his lips into a flat line before continuing, "I've asked her, and she said yes, so…"

He waves at someone off-screen.

"Maka, c'mere."

A petite girl with ash-blonde hair in space buns gingerly makes her way to the sofa, waving a little shyly as she plops herself down beside Soul.

She wears a simple black skirt and baby pink shirt, along with what seems suspiciously like Soul's old orange letterman jacket. (Old fans would recognize it instantly as the iconic outfit he wore when he crushed Wolfree, another professional gamer known by his death-defying skills, in his last official gaming competition many years ago.)

"Hi, everyone. I'm Maka Albarn, Soul's roommate."

"And girlfriend," Soul adds automatically, eyes trained straight to the camera.

Maka rolls her eyes. "And girlfriend."

yes. this is a shameless, shameless self promotion

Synopsis: It could be argued that Hera collects strays. Sometimes Kanan makes it worse, but it all started with her. Five chapters, for Hera finding and choosing the rest of her crew. Rating: T Warnings: in this chapter: discussion of Kanan’s past, including alcoholism, trauma and nightmares. AO3 Link: [tba] A/N: again, the AO3 link will come later, but keep an eye out! I already have the next two chapters written to post. @kaneraweek

  Hera dropped herself into the seat opposite him, arms rattling the table between them. Kanan’s bowl of re-hydrated food mush rattled.

“Alright, we need to talk.”

Something in her tone felt like a threat, like something about to tear his world apart.

He put down his spoon, attempting to look nonchalant and calm about whatever this was. “Go on?”

Hera’s eyes were sharp. “Are you planning to stay here, or are you going to disappear at some point?”

Kanan couldn’t help staring back, blinking slowly as he thought about the question. He’d assumed it was just a fact, something he was mulling over but Hera had just accepted. That she wasn’t questioning him and the fact he was staying as much as he was.

I'M BACK WITH MORE SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION BITCHES

the week has ended but my desire to continue this has not

this time we have 2k words of Soul’s fans accidentally blessed by romantic content bc Soul’s dumb enough to forget ending his stream.

Warning: a lot of cheese and sugar with a sprinkle of spice

So yeah. I write. lmao. idk if I could finish the week but anyway I’m trying.

@soulxmakaweek

Summary:

Originally, Soul Evans just wants to separate his professional and private lives and stream his contents in peace, thank you very much. But as usual, a certain roommate of his is nothing but a headache. Unfortunately, said roommate is very pretty and Soul Evans is a weak, weak man.

Or, in which Soul Evans is a famous streamer, and his fans had an ongoing fierce battle on whether his mysterious roommate is actually his girlfriend or not. [SoMa Week 2021 Collection]
