from the depths of the coral sea

characters: jade leech, irene lovejoy warnings: fluff, romance a/n: - HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRENE (and to your OC!!) !! enjoy this (hopefully) swoon worthy letter from your merman prince <;3 @officialdaydreamer00 - okay so i searched it up and i hope that the nickname 'Chanterelle' suits irene (ur twst oc)! its basically a type of mushroom thats 'notoriously difficult to cultivate' and 'nonedible lookalike'. I wanted a nickname that would summarize irene's mysterious demeanor and uniqueness (plus, you have so many ocs with so many characteristics so i wanted a mushroom with diff kinds of appearance to represent that hehe) hope you enjoy!!! - feedback is appreciated!

Dearest, how do you fare this fine evening? The Coral Sea is colder than ever this Valentine and without you cuddling me to death? (Don't lie to yourself, dear Irene, you know as well as I do that you're such a cuddle monster. I love it. It's cute sweet.) Without you, I feel so cold, so indulge in me slightly more when we return, please?

Look at me. Floyd's reading this letter (He says 'Hi!') and calls me a simp. I don't quite understand but Azul explained that it's meant for people who are 'head-over-heels' for their partner...and they're right.

Cheesy as it sounds but...honestly speaking, I've never felt this way with anyone else before. With you, I feel a spring in my step, a flutter in my stomach, a heat rise to my cheeks, a rose-tint layer over my eyes; It's all so strange to me at first but now? I embrace it wholeheartedly.

My Chanterelle, from the depths of the deep blue sea to the soaring sapphire skies above, I love you. You may call me a liar since I can't fly but the soaring sensation in my stomach paired with the rollercoasters of happiness I feel around you are enough to mimic Coach Vargas's flying style. I love you, Irene, and I thank the Great Sevens that you gave this old eel a chance to love you with every inch of his heart and more. I thank the Great Sevens every day that you even looked at me because, with everything that I've done, I didn't think I deserved love. So, Irene, my love, my dearest, my Chanterelle, I love you.

Happy birthday to you, my everything. Although I can't be with you physically, I hope you can imagine my sweet kisses and caring embrace. I love you, and it pains me to be separated from you for even a week. I miss you dearly.

When we return, I'll eagerly await next to your mirror in the Mirror Chamber. I want myself to be the first student, the first eyes that meet yours on that fateful day. Until then, I shall send my love and kisses through this letter (but nothing compares to you physically being with me).

Once again, I wish you a happy birthday, my Chanterelle.

Not even the Coral Sea is as bountiful as my love for you, Jade Leech

For @fizzyxcustard

Sweet Dreams

Happy Birthday, dearest Jay! I wish all the good things in this world upon a sweet, kind lady like you, and I know your desires probably include living in a lovely cottage in a gorgeous countryside in the arms of the Richard man of your dreams. I hope this little moodboard helps manifest that.

I also wanted to include the full text of the beautiful poem inspiration, as well as the link to Richard's reading of it. <3 Hope you have a wonderful celebration!

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love

Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me, and be my love.

The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love.

19 and goosemav+carole please? 🥺🥰

thank you!!! :3

things you said when we were the happiest we ever were

“Get the camera, get the camera!” Carole whacks him in the arm the second they hear Maverick’s footsteps in the hallway.

“I’m going, I’m going!”

“Hurry up!” she hisses.

“It’s not the Queen of England, it’s just Mav!” Goose grouses.

“Just Mav?” Maverick says, letting himself in as always. “And here I was thinking you liked me! I thought we was going steady, Goosey!”

“Maverick!” Carole squeals. She all but throws herself into his arms, never mind the fact that it’s barely been three days since she last saw him, and showers him in kisses. Goose smiles to himself and plucks his Polaroid off of the bedroom dresser.

By the time he makes it back to the kitchen, Maverick is wearing a lovely shade of Covergirl’s coral pink lipstick all over his cheeks.

“Smudge that up a bit, and it’d make a great blush, Mav!” he crows.

“You’re the worst, Goose,” Mav says, reaching over the table to grab a napkin.

“Love you too, dearest,” Goose smiles.

“Now, Maverick,” Carole says, folding her hands neatly on the table. She’s got a bright gleam in her eyes. Goose hands her the paper they got from the doctor’s office yesterday, and she’s positively glowing.

“We’ve got some news for you, something very important,” she says seriously.

Maverick’s face falls. “It’s not bad, is it? You’re not sick? Oh, God, Goose, why didn’t you say sooner!”

“No, I’m not sick, Mav,” Goose answers. “But Carole is… well, she’s got a delicate constitution, you see.”

Maverick looks like Goose just kicked a puppy in front of him and then told him to run it over with the Kawasaki. He’s biting his lip so hard to fight from bursting out with a honk of laughter that he can almost taste the blood.

“Carole? You’re not dying, are you?” Mav takes Carole’s hand and runs his fingers over her knuckles. “Whatever it is, me and Goose are gonna be here for ya, I swear. I’ll be on my best behavior, scout’s honor!”

“You were never a Boy Scout, Maverick Mitchell, you take that back!” Carole giggles and hands Maverick the results from the doctor.

“Goosey took me to see someone yesterday,” she tells him. “Since I wasn’t feeling too good. The results came back fine, but it looks like we’re gonna have a pretty different lifestyle going forward. We’re gonna have to change a lotta things around here, Maverick, and I’m expecting you to be here for all of them.”

Maverick takes a deep sigh before unfolding the paper. Goose holds up his camera, training it on Mav’s face so he doesn’t miss the money shot.

It takes all of five seconds for Mav to process it and look at Carole in shock. The flash goes off, but Maverick doesn’t notice at all.

“You’re—you!” he sputters.

“We’re having a baby!” Goose yells, throwing his arms around Mav’s neck. “I’m gonna be a daddy!”

Carole wraps both of them into a tight hug, and then they’re dancing around the tiny kitchen.

“Wait, wait!” Mav says, holding the paper up so it doesn’t crinkle. “We gotta put this somewhere important.”

He takes the novelty magnet they picked up in Pensacola during flight school and tacks the ultrasound to the middle of the fridge.

“There we go!”

Mav turns back to them with a smile wide enough to split his face. “You’re gonna be parents,” he says. “God, who woulda thought!”

“Don’t think this changes anything, mister!” Carole wags her finger at him. “You’re still gonna be around here just as much as you are now. How else are we gonna manage without our baby’s godfather?”

Goose snaps another picture of Maverick, his mouth hanging open like a bass on a line, and laughs.

send me a pairing and a number!

#ask #top gun #thank u for the ask friend!!

SS Month ‘23 - Day 3

Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4

Prompt: Medieval (Japan) AU

Warnings: Mentions of adultery, period-typical misogyny

“Sakura!” Her mother called. “Another letter!”

The girl gasped in delight with her friend. Gathering up their skirts, they rushed from her bedroom and hurried down the stairs as fast as they could muster.

As they reached the reception room, she breathlessly asked, “You called, Mother?”

“Another letter for you,” the woman repeated, holding out a crisp white envelope with a hint of a smile playing on her coral lips.

The pink-haired young lady took it gingerly and both her and her blonde friend squealed excitedly at the intricate red wax seal. The uchiwa fan embossed in the silky wax spoke volumes as to who the sender was.

“I can’t believe he actually sent you one,” Ino, her friend, gushed, clasping her hands together.

“I know!” Sakura giggled, pausing in her steps to delicately break the wax seal on the back of the envelope. “I still can’t believe he talked to me in the market! I was so sure he thought me vexing.”

“Well, read it!” She impatiently crossed her arms.

Rolling her eyes, the younger girl unfurled the letter, pausing to clear her throat dramatically for emphasis. “To the young Miss Haruno, I bid you good tidings with the blossoming of spring valleys and tenderly weeping sakuras. I have arranged for a luncheon on the fifteenth between you and my brother to bless your forthcoming union.” Biting her lip, she continued, “May your union flourish and bring honor to our bloodlines. With regards, Uchiha Sasuke.”

“There’s more… oh!” The blonde looked away as the girl hastily rolled up the end of the letter, bright scarlet painting her dainty face.

“Well,” mused Ino, “I should think it’s good fortune that your future brother-in-law is so welcoming.”

“I was worried at first, when Father told me I was to marry a prodigal,” she admitted, gingerly closing the letter, “but if Sasuke has no objections, surely he cannot be such a horrible person.”

“Perhaps not, but you know Sasuke has always idolized Itachi.” Ino gave her a meaningful look. “If any opinion would be colored, I suspect his would.”

“I trust his judgment.” Sakura firmly stated. “He’s one of my dearest friends. Itachi is not a scheming man.”

Ino gave a shrug and heaved a sigh. “I still worry about you. He’s five years older and not tied to the Uchiha fortune anymore. Why would he choose you to wife?”

“Perhaps he remembers me from childhood.”

“Perhaps, but you would think he would choose another girl.”

“I know him, and he must know me. Maybe he was uncomfortable choosing a stranger with qualms about treating him well.”

The blonde wrapped her arms around her friend, embracing her tightly. “I worry for your marriage. This could be his way of clawing his way back up to his former fortune. Once he finds an even more respectable woman to wife, he may leave you.”

“You distrust Sasuke.” Sakura accused.

“I distrust Itachi,” Ino corrected impatiently. “You believe too much in him.”

“We’ve known each other since infancy, of course I believe in him.”

“Too much belief is a dangerous game, Forehead. One day it will bite you.” The blonde sighed, shaking her head. “Besides, Sasuke is already married. Are you still pining for him?”

The young lady gave her a flat look.

“His heart may choose you, but his duty rests most on his wife.”

She looked indignant for several long moments, but finally she sagged against the wall. “I hate it when you’re right,” she muttered.

“I would be remiss if I let you get hurt.” With a soft smile, she grasped her hand. “Is he still visiting you?”

“Only twice so far,” she answered, walking with her back to her room. “I’m anxious. If he visits me again, wouldn’t that make it official? And I would hate to earn the scorn of the Lady Fujiwara.”

“It’s none of her business what Sasuke does with you, anyway,” huffed Ino. “We’re childhood friends.”

“Still…”

“Quit worrying about it. I know well as anyone else that he still holds you dearly. It’s his vagrant brother I fear.” With a sigh, she gave the younger a grimacing smile. “Itachi may have been tenderhearted in our youth but a decade changes things.”

“I… I’m not worried. If he loves me not, I will still have Sasuke.” Her shoulders were set squarely, a sense of determination overcoming her anxiety. “Is it wrong of me to be so brazen?”

“Women are expected to receive affection, and it’s a man’s duty to provide affection. You’re hardly scandalous to feel unsure of that. But you really should temper those desires before someone begins a rumor that you’re more salacious than you are.”

“I feel so conflicted,” she sighed, waving her small fan. “I’ll be okay, won’t I?”

“I’ll make sure you’re alright,” Ino reassured, resting a hand on her shoulder. “I’ll make certain to put in a good word for you among the ladies of court. Regardless of who your husband is.”

I'm sorry, I know I took too long but here I am again, presenting you the third part of my first fic -Between the Floyd's!

I hope you enjoy and don't forget, this chapter is not the last one. there will be a next chapter and maybe more

Between the Floyd's~ Part 3

You ignored him for a really long time. But somehow, he never got bored of you. Azul, Jade, Ace and even Jamil were shocked about it. It was tiring, you have carried him everywhere you go and he is a heavy guy. Today, you broke your silence and tried to approach him. "Floyd?"

He looked to your face where he sat -your foot-

"Did you decide to talk to me, little shrimpy?"

"Yes, can you sit on this chair so I can see you easier?"

"But… but I liked it here. It's comfy and I can squeeze your leg"

"You're heavy."

You looked at his thoughtful face. "I know I am heavy…" he stopped.

"But you didn't say that to me before."

Then he shrugged and sat on the chair that stood in front of you.

"I just thought you could get bored of me that way but we are like this for a week and a half."

"Why don't you want me to love you?"

He seems disappointed and sad. You are not a cruel person who wants someone's sadness for no reason.

"I believe everyone wants to be loved but don't you think you're a bit fast?"

He shrugged again. "But now I think about it… my little Floyd and mine meet is also something like this." You giggled and caught him smiling a little. "How did you meet the lil version of me? Ne ne shrimpy, let's hear your story~"

You smiled at him, "Let me get us something to drink."

"Can you grab some snacks too~" he sang.

"I'm not rich."

"I thought Shrimpy-chan is generous and kind person, aaaah how disappointing~"

"Shut up, of course I'm kind and generous. Grim eats all my money, that's because I am broke, hmph!"

"You're lying, you buy whatever lil Floyd wants."

You rolled your eyes when you heard his fake sobs.

"Because he is my dearest, I would sell my kidney to get him what he wants."

"Just you wait, I will be your dearest and you will make everything I want with your own will." You can't understand him, he sometimes seems so serious and scary but again he always takes everything lightly.

"We started again, I think I never should start a conversation with you."

"Too late Shrimpy~"

…

"Okay, if you're comfortable I am starting." You said while trying to make your shoulder more comfortable so pet Floyd can lay on it.

"Yeey! I'm perfect, you can start." The big boy said while tucking the chips in his mouth and gulping down a drink you got.

"I didn't say that to you"

"Nope, you said it to me~"

"Whatever, One day I went to a beach."

"Beaches are good."

"Yes, beaches are good. Now let me continue."

"Do you know how to swim?"

"No, I don't."

"REALLY?!" He jumped from his chair.

"Do I look like I'm lying?"

"Yeeeeeeeey! I will teach you how to swim when we go to the Coral Sea!"

"Can you kindly remind me when I told you that I will go to the Coral Sea with you?"

"Awww you're such a boomer-"

"No I'm not!"

…

"So, Floyd is not sitting on your foot anymore at least."

"Yeah, he improved a lot." You said with a triumphant smile on your face. "What an improvement!"

You looked at Jamil and furrowed your eyes.

"Sea snake, I feel like you want a good squeeze from me?"

"No, no thanks I'm perfectly great and I'm taking my leave. Goodbye Floyd, I hope God gives you strength Y/N." He didn't wait even a minute, he already has a baby to look after and it makes him tired enough. He doesn't need extra problems and you can understand him. "Thank you Jamil." You waved to each other.

"Shrimpy-chaaaaan?"

You took a deep breath "Yes Floyd?"

"Today is lil Floyd's beauty day, right? I want to bathe him with you!"

"Yeah, let's do that."

"You're not rejecting my offers anymore~"

"Let's go."

"Don't ignore me shrimpy :'("

Like this,you two came to the Dormshackle. You prepared a good, warm water for pet Floyd and you two bathed him. While you were cleaning the pet you drowned into thoughts.

You know him more than you first met now, you saw him both when he threatened someone with his scary face and when he toyed with literally anything like a child. His moods were really something else but this guy started to feel familiar. You remembered pet Floyd's first times with you, sometimes he bit you and seconds after he was hugging you and licking your face. Now you are his precious owner, he never tries anything to hurt you because he understood that you would never harm him. He was a wild and rude animal at first but he changed with love and care… and most importantly- with trust.

Maybe big Floyd is in need of someone to trust, someone to never judge his meaningless moves to idiotic.

You wanted to approach him but again, you know that you must be careful. You are not in your own world, you are powerless and especially compared to Floyd you're so weak.

You blinked in shock when you felt water drops splashed on your face. "FLOYD!"

"You can't down your guards hehehehe."

"Come here!" You run after him and splash water on him.

"HAHAHA REVENGE!"

It seems like you still didn't get who he is- he is Floyd Leech and of course he won't let go of this fun with a few drops of water.

…

"Perfect! We would be drier if we were in an ocean! Plus, the whole room is wet too."

"That was so funny!" He clapped happily and changed his voice to a thinner tone. "Plus, now we have a little lake in Dormshackle and we can enjoy more."

"No! We are going to clean the mess."

"Oh! Look at the hour, I should go and help in Mostro Lounge or Azul will fire me. "

"Come here you liar, you didn't talk about your responsibilities even for once when you stuck to my feet!"

"Hohoho, goodbye to you!"

"And he goes…" you smiled to yourself.

Really, when did you enjoy it like this last time?

He is actually a funny guy, you thought. But you slapped yourself after No, you can't fall that easily you fool.

But we both know that you already started to like him, even if it's a little bit. Without realizing, you enjoyed every second of your time together.

…

"I can crush 30 tuna cans in a minute"

"Aaaand…Why are you doing such a thing?"

"We can't make progress if you search for a reason in everything I do, shrimpy."

…

"Don't forget to cheer for me shrimpy-chan!"

"Now what I am? Ponpon girl?"

"Fine! See? My mood is dead now. I'm not gonna touch any basketball today."

"Y/N don't make us deal with him. God! All I wanted is playing basketball, why we are dealing with Floyd every time?"

"You said something Crabby? I couldn't hear ya"

"Nothing."

…

A new vacation has come. Students are going back to their home for two weeks and Floyd is not an exception. Unlike winter break, his sea is not frozen this time of year. You are standing close to the mirror and bid your goodbyes to your friends.

"Hello Y/N-san. I assume that you're staying at Night Raven College with Grim as usual."

"Oh, hello Azul and yes, everything is just the same as before. I hope you guys have a good vacation."

"Thank you, you're so kind. Then see you after the break."

"Yeah, see you."

Then Jade came closer and put his hand on his chest, he showed his signature smirk.

"Have a nice break,Y/N-san. I hope I can keep Floyd's mood high during your absence. He started to feel down more often when you're not around, I know it's not good but watching you two is always amusing me."

"No comment on this. Have a nice break."

Then you felt a weight on your feet, like the first time you met with Floyd. And yes, he was hugging your ankle. "Nooo, I wanna stay here with you! This would be a lot of fun. You, me and a fully empty school. We can play games with ghosts and I can cook fish for us even, dont'cha want fish Grim?"

"Even I won't believe your shit. You're big and scary. I haven't forgotten your last squeeze yet, hmph!"

You looked at Floyd, "Time to farewell Floyd, you have a family to see and I can't make you choose between them and me. Go… go and don't look back." You said with a dramatic look on your face.

Your mind was messed up with the thought of if you like Floyd or not and his absence may give you the answer, you think that way at least.

"Ain't ya sad shrimpy-chan?" He said and looked at you with a big puppy eyes- no, not puppy eyes but eel eyes.

You lifted your hands with a fake shock.

"No, no no of course I am sad." You licked the tip of your forefinger and touched it under your eyes. "See? I'm even crying."

"You're a cruel shrimpy!" Then he smiled dumbly. "But I love you."

"Yeah yeah, go and enjoy your vacation."

"Awwww, shrimpy wants my happiness. I will come back quickly."

Then they left.

"YEAH, TIME TO RELAX! I WON'T MISS ANY OF THEM!" you said happily and your vacation started like this.

Coral headcanons cause yeah (bits of coralbaird as well)

● loves to "water wrestle" with mizzen

● she seems like the type of person to have sea themed tattoos, and her frist one was two little starfishes on her wrist w/ Lucy Gray's and mizzen's initials <33

● very protective of the ones she loves, which means she can and will beat someone up

● those on her list of loved ones are: Lucy gray, Mizzen, and unfortunately for her Tanner and Treech

● Coral is Lucy Gray's lipstick tester, aka, she is covered in lipstick stains when LG gets a new one

● was genuinely horrified when she found out how bad Lucy gray is at swimming

● plays sports with the covey boys & mizzen

● the children love it when she tosses them into the water. Like. Actually fucking tosses them

● absolutely adores Lucy Gray's eyes. She can never say no to them, especially when our songbird hits her with puppy dog eyes

● can play the harmonica, only plays sea shanties, though

● calls mizzen 'starfish'

● has pet fish :>

● extremely cuddly when alone w/ Lucy gray or mizzen

● absolutely beams when Mizzen makes her smth

● loves long walks on the pier. At midnight. Lucy gray was sleeping over one night and wakes up at 2 in the morning to an empty bed and house. She's like "????"

● hates mornings, Lucy gray loves them.

● yknow that one "draw your ship like this" and its the fucking elegant ass robe and them old man jammies??? Yeah, it's coralbaird, but coral wears heart boxers

● has caught a fish with her bare hands bc tanner dared her to. She won 20 bucks that day

● Lucy gray has wrote many songs for her, but her favorite is the first one called "sea lover"

● you can not tell me she's not the sweetest lover boy for Lucy gray. Coral will buy the biggest, most colorful bouquet for her, along with any stuffed animal or any thing Lucy gray has been eyeing lately

● gets teased by tanner, treech, n mizzen for being fucking whipped for Lucy gray, but you can't blame her

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk🤭🤭

When La'gaan launched himself into that grab I literally felt my soul depart from my body for a solid 3 seconds because I was terrified they were going to kill him off. I do wonder though what Coral and Rodunn's reaction would be finding out he did something like that.

omg SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

I was so worried they were going to kill him off, but I'm glad they instead used it as an opportunity to show how capable La'gaan is.

(And random side-note: Things like that giant crab and the fish/lizard/thing fit the description for 'deep beasts'. I freaking called it with my extrapolation for the Atlantean dictionary and the idea that Atlanteans weren't prepared to deal with some of the animals that are really deep soon after Atlantis sank. Yes that's wordy and probably could have been worded better, but I'm nerding out here. I can explain more coherently, but I'm already derailing this enough. Maybe if someone asks me to talk about that cultural headcanon I'll go more in-depth on it. Otherwise, moving on.)

As for Coral and Rodunn's reactions, I have a feeling that La'gaan probably tried to get around them finding out (up to and including asking Delphis, Kaldur, and Wyynde not to say anything to them about it) due to not wanting to worry them, but it failed. Miserably. I can see Coral and Rodunn finding out one of three ways:

Delphis, Kaldur, or Wyynde (one of them anyway) deciding to be a little shit at La'gaan (in retaliation for him worrying them) and telling Coral and Rodunn the moment they got in range. (With some variation of "Take a wild guess what your husband did.")

Delphis, Kaldur, or Wyynde mentioning it in an offhand way due to being so exhausted from the mission that their personal filter temporarily died, and as such not conveying it with the seriousness it deserves. (Somehow I think it being treated as a 'Oh yeah, this happened' would worry Coral and Rodunn more. Can't think of why. Note the heavy sarcasm.)

La'gaan-- despite his plans to try to avoid mentioning it-- being so exhausted from the mission that he blurts it out without thinking.

I can also see Coral and Rodunn both being torn in two directions. On one hand, La'gaan's been doing the hero thing for a good long while by that point (since he was about 16, so about 6 years by the point with the giant crab), so they would know to expect this sort of thing from him. There's probably also some level of pride in the fact that he's so protective and able to do those sorts of things. On the other hand, you know there's also gotta be some level of, "La'gaan, dearest, we love you and understand that when things are that desperate you don't really have time to think things through, but was jumping INTO A DEEP-BEAST'S MOUTH REALLY NECESSARY?!"

I don't think La'gaan would want to go anywhere for a while afterward (what with the exhaustion from that mission and wanting to be around for their baby), but I have a feeling that until La'gaan is ready to jump into the fray fully as Aquaman that his wife and husband probably aren't going to want to let him out of their sight. At least for a while.

If they're lucky, after he's had a decent chance to rest and recuperate, he wouldn't make any cracks about wanting to go back down there for some giant crab hunting. (Hi, random plot-bunny that I might play around with at some point.)

I can see some mild grumping on Rodunn and Coral's part, some fussing over La'gaan, and at least a few instances of 'Yeah, hi, stay home. Here's the baby, it'd be a crime to move now. Or here's one of us using you as furniture. Asking us to move when it's not an emergency would be blasphemy. You're welcome.' (Not me trying to restrain headcanons about their dynamic until we know Coral and Rodunn more, not at aaaaaaalllll. lol)

Suffice it to say, I think it's one close call that La'gaan might never live down. If it turns into any sort of in-joke for the characters I'll probably be laughing.

Chapter 13: Home Sweet Home

That weekend you went back home. It was so refreshing to see everyone. You yelped out with joy as you ran over to your cousin “Hiroki niichaaaan~” You jumped into his arms.

He hugged you tight. “How have you been doin lil sis?”

“Very good! I missed you all so much, especially you Hiroki nii." You pouted up at him.

You caught up with your family, had meals with them, and trained with Hiroki. They were most curious about your soulmate, as you have expected.

“What’s he like? Aren’t people from the big 3 clans so stuck up all the time? Even Satoru is full of himself at times, ey?”, Hiroki asked you with a mouthful of food.

“He isn’t too bad to be honest. He’s a gentleman and sweet with me. Decent man. Just, seems a bit like the private type? I mean… Doesn’t talk much about his family even though we are soulmates. Oh I’ve already talked to him about you guys.” You added.

Hiroki tilted his head, “Ehhh… mysterious huh.”

“Give him time. The Kamo Clan aren’t the most open minded people. They’ll feel you out before allowing you in.” Your dad said.

“Even though I’m his soulmate?!” You exclaimed.

Silence. “We don’t know what they’re thinking so we can’t say for sure.”

◇◇◇

“Heh, you’ve gotten better lil sis,” Hiroki dropped low and thrusted out his spear. You jumped and immediately shifted your stance to land a kick on him. He easily parried and slipped out of your range.

Your family specializes in dealing with reverse cursed techniques aside from the occasional esper. Hiroki was only a semi-grade 1, because he trained his ass off for years.

Now that he’s built, he uses cursed tools to help him fight. A strong 185cm man can definitely handle close combat well. And in terms of healing abilities, he was number 1 in the clan.

It was only the women in your family that were able to inherit psychokinesis for some reason. But usually it only applies to a specific thing. Like how your mom can control plants. And your other aunt does with small metallic items like coins and darts.

Mother approached you after your sparring session. "Does he make you happy my dear?" Your mother asked you. Hiroki drank quietly from his water bottle.

You thought about it. The past few months were not easy but really colorful with Noritoshi. Minus the nagging feeling of him covering up his family affairs from you.

But… "He does. I feel so safe with him ma. Like I do with all of you. He is family to me now. I think I really like him and I trust him with my life." You whispered out.

"Then next time, bring him here. We will gladly welcome him with open arms." Hiroki smiled at you and leaned into your side.

◇◇◇

You went to visit your dead older sister’s grave just before you went back to Kyoto Jujutsu High School.

It was just you and Hiroki. You both cleaned the grave, trimmed the weeds, changed the flowers, burned fresh incense, and said your prayers for Sora. It was such a clear day with barely any clouds. The sky was so blue.

Just like her namesake.

Hiroki left you to give you some privacy, saying that he’ll pick you up in 2 hours.

You took a deep breath. “Sora neechan. It’s been a while. Sorry I couldn’t come to see you as often, because I’m currently a student at Jujutsu High.”

“I met this guy. He … So he is my soulmate. The first time I met him, I thought he was pretty. As I got to know him more, I felt as if there was a reason as to why the heavens chose him for me you know? He is really cool, but so warm and sweet with me. I think I’m a little bit in love with him.” You admitted.

“I’m really scared to lose him. After I lost you, I just… it was hard… I try my best to be cheerful and helpful really. But it gets tiring at times. I’m glad I was able to make a lot of friends who understand the life of a Jujutsu sorcerer at least. I tried to open up to Noritoshi a bit more. But it’s hard because he seems so closed off at times.”

You had mixed feelings, because you promised Noritoshi you would trust him more. That means working on anything that bothers you regarding your relationship with him. But can he accept it if you tell him that you want to know more about his family? He already clearly stated he needs more time.

“Am I being too greedy and hasty Sora? I want to support his clan affairs, even if it's just a tiny bit as his soulmate. He seems so troubled with it all the time. Like he wants to carry the burden all alone. I want to help, but he doesn’t really let me. I don’t know. I wish you were still here with me.”

“Last time I asked him about his parents, he snapped at me. Of course he apologized. … Maybe it’s all just in my head. But I do want to meet his family. Eventually. Though at this rate I have no idea when. Everytime I ask about them he just shuts up.”

“Falling in love is way too hard….”

The wind blew as if to agree with you. The leaves rusted in a circular dance just around the grave. You smiled.

You bid farewell to your family after the weekend. Hiroki hugged you tight and whispered, “I hope it gets better for you and Kamo kun soon enough.”

You looked up at him, “Yeah, thanks bro.”

◇◇◇

You texted Noritoshi and let him know that you were on your way back. He said he was free for the evening and that you could come over to his room.

You knocked on his door with anticipation. You opened the door, “I'm back, Toshi!” He pulled you into a tight hug and closed the door behind you. “I missed you. Come in. How was your family? Sorry I couldn’t go with you again.”

“It’s fine! They’re all okay and excited to meet you next time.” You looked up at him. He looked a bit regretful, “Next time I’ll make sure to properly clear my schedule with my father so I can go meet them okay?”

“Ah, okay.” You both walked over to his table and knelt down on the floor.

“I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a while,” you started. Noritoshi looked on intently. “I’ve already told you about my family right? Mom and dad and my other male cousins. Ah, what I didn’t tell you before was… I used to have an older sister. I - uhm. Well she died after being attacked by a curse. I … I hope to bring you to her grave one day.”

Noritoshi’s heart dropped. He pulled you in close. “I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m sure she is proud of you. Of course I’ll go with you to see her next time.” He was now highly regretting choosing to do some useless tasks for some of his clan’s elders instead of spending the weekend with you.

You gripped his clothes tighter. “Thank you, that really really means a lot to me.” You started tearing up, but you blinked your tears away.

"Oh! My family and I have gifts for you. I'm not so sure if you'll like it. It's a Coral and gold bracelet. Everyone in my family has one. It's almost like tradition for us, and we believe it to have a layer of protection. I also brought Jade here for you." You presented the bracelet alongside the Dragon carved Jade Pendant hanging on a thick white gold chain.

Noritoshi's eyes widened. The jewelry was stunning and looked expensive. He may have been favoured as the heir to the Kamo clan, but even he didn't own so much expensive jewelry.

He sputtered out “I appreciate it but I can’t take something so expensive and precious-”

“Noritoshiiii,” you whined out loud, making him stop talking. “You don’t want to accept such a precious gift that I picked out for you?” you whined with the largest puppy eyes.

“No, I- I am grateful. Thank you, I’ll accept it.” Noritoshi conceded.

Got him. You grinned madly as he shook his head. “You’re a dangerous one,” he muttered under his breath. “What was that?” you asked him absentmindedly as you worked on unclasping the bracelet to put it around his wrist. “Nothing, nothing at all dearest.”

You narrowed your eyes at him before grabbing his wrist and putting it on for him. It was a perfect fit. You thanked yourself for loving to hold his hand so much that you knew his general hand measurements.

His hands down to his wrists were so pretty. You didn't realize that you were playing with and smiling down at his fingers until he opened up his hand and linked his fingers with yours.

Slowly, carefully. Falling in love with you was the easiest thing Noritoshi had experienced. Now that he had embraced his emotions and tried to open up to you, it was a bit better now.

'Is this what love is? I don't know since it's my first time experiencing it.' Noritoshi wondered to himself.

It was in the smallest of things with you. He loved the way you would call out his name with loving eyes. The way you would always greet him first before the other senpai. The way you give him coffee and kisses on late and cold nights of studying.

The way your hair smells. Your perfume. The way your eyelids flutter shut when he kisses you. The tightening of his chest and shortness of his breath made apparent whenever he was with you.

The way you don't ask for too much from him. Just that he shows his love to you either by his actions or words. The comfort he simply feels when he is beside you.

He really just needed some time, and seeing you around more often really made up for it.

He ticked the inside of your palm which made you shiver and yelp. He laughed out loud at this and pulled you into his lap, hugging you tightly.

Staying quiet, you buried your head in his chest. You could feel his heartbeat, and it was faster than you expected. But soon it went back down to a steady rate.

"Your heartbeat is so steady, but mine is always wild around you. Noritoshi I feel kinda embarrassed to be honest." You admitted, fingers curling into his kimono.

He smiled and his heartbeat quickened to match yours. You looked up at him in confusion. "Did you just…" He just leaned down to rub his nose against yours. "I am a blood manipulator. I can manipulate my pulse rate darling." You huffed out a laugh, feeling warm and fuzzy.

"I love you." You said suddenly. He stared in shock at your words. You realized that you said it without intending to. But you didn’t take it back.

"Kamo Noritoshi I'm madly in love with you." It wasn't a sudden realisation of being in love. You slowly fell for him again and again each day.

Noritoshi’s brain short circuited.

Suddenly he was kissing you. Tongue slipping into your mouth and playing with yours and rubbing along the roof of your mouth.

You tried to fight his tongue for dominance, but you ended up surrendering, your back bent back with your face turned up towards him.

You clasped your hands around his neck as he pressed deep kisses against the top of your chest. Your face was flushed as you fell limp against him, gasping out heavy breaths. "I'm not going anywhere angel." Noritoshi whispered against your neck, hands tightening possessively against your waist.

‘Please wait a little longer for me. Until I can confirm that these feelings for you are indeed true love.’ His thoughts went unsaid.

The one thing Noritoshi promised to himself is that he would never lie about his feelings for you. To him, the worst he could do was to confess his love without actually being in love with you.

Cockatiel part 3

Atlas fiddled with her webbed fingers as she awaited the rest to arrive. She was sweating her scales off. This is her first time confronting the reptilians, she needed the negotiating chip, she needed to escape the waters.

Pacing around the wetroom Atlas counted the second, checking her hourglass every 15th. The room was filled with about a foot of water, and in the center of it was a large desk, sitting a few feet above the waterline. On it sat a array of non-lethal weaponry like nets and mud slings. Walls made up of thick coral surrounded Atlas, at the top a collection of glass that falls into the ocean, providing little light. None of the weapons were meant for attack, since we weren’t doing that, the only weapon that could actually kill was the one that she possessed, a dagger make of driftwood and whale bone. That also had some special abilities…

Before Atlas could finish her thought the coral door opened, and came in her burly associates, right on time.

Ethan came in first, he’s an fringehead, and known for his ability’s of capture using his large mouth as a slingshot for nets.

Everette was the second, she’s an anglerfish, and was the strongest of the group, she was going to be carrying the victim.

Oz, they were going to be the most important part of the operation. They were going to keep us from being caught, with Xandra’s magical abilities she will be the most dangerous of the group.

Atlas walks to the center of the room, spreading her arms in the traditional welcome.

“Hello! Ethan Everette and Oz. I, so glad you made it on time,” She said, holding her arms up for another 3 seconds.

The others all did as well, moving around to the table.

“Quite with the formal introductions, we all know each other,” Everette says with a smirk, sitting on the ground and plopping her hands onto the table.

“Yeah Atlas, its getting a bit annoying,” Ethan added on, sitting next to Everette and grabbing at one of the nets, examining it.

Oz gave me a toothy grin, their eyes glowing in amusement. Atlas laughs and sighs.

“You all should be more formal, my mother wouldn’t like me hanging out with a bunch of unschooled buff fish,” I say, failing to stop the smile from forming on my face. She takes a seat at the front of the table, sitting on the ground like the rest of her friends.

“Luckily your mommy dearest isn’t here right now, and gave you permission to hang out with us then,” Ethan says with a very laid back demeanor.

Atlas scoffs, “Permission is a umbrella term for her. But we aren’t talking about that right now,” she gives everyone in the room s teasing glare,”We are discussing the upcoming kidnapping.”

“Does it have to be called a kidnapping? I don’t want to need to explain to my brother that I went to a ‘kidnapping’ when I explain why I was gone late today,” Everette says, cutting me off. I scrunch my face up in annoyance at her interruption.

“Tell him it was a party or something, we don’t have time for interruptions! This is a happening tonight and this is serious! You all are just messing around, this society is to good for everyone here to just get eaten!!” I say, slamming my fist on the table. They were always like this.

Oz looks down, looking guilty even though they didn’t do anything. Ethan and Everette also avoid eye-contact with me. They all knew how important this operation was.

“Sorry… this is just, it can mean so much for our society and mom is letting me try this out. We need to take this chance. I shouldn’t have snapped at you, I’m sorry,” I say, folding my hands in my lap. Ethan looked up at me.

“We know how important this is, we just, aren’t used to this level of intensity. But, continue with the plan…” He says, maintaining her gaze. I nod, now isn’t the time for feelings.

“As I’ve said before I’ve planted the flowering dragons in the location I showed you all last week, in the human world. Knowing Xandra and her cult, they will have found it and be after them. When they get there, presumably tonight since I checked yesterday and the dragons are still there, we capture one of them. If it’s a group or just one person, but if Xandra is there which she usually is for strange accuracies like this, leave her to Oz,” I give Oz a glance. They nod, shifting their tail to curl around them.

“Ev, you will carry the victim, and if Ethan can’t either bag them or tie them up. I’ll make sure no one can follow you,” The knife in my hands feels heavy, but I grip it tighter, “I’ll do whatever it takes.”

————————

The operation is underway, I had spotted them arrive on some earth animal and a drake. Xandra was distracted, if we execute it right, there would be no need for Oz to step in. My night vision gave me an advantage as well, I didn’t know if she had it as well, but I assumed she did. The rest didn’t though, no reptile I’ve come across has. Looking to my left, Everette held a large, wet sack. I wait for Xandra to hand the flowering dragons to the blue belly, and lift her head back up. I nod at Everette and she slowly creeps up to the lizard closet to the water, an iguana. I clutch my knife close to my chest, and walk out of the water, the atmosphere was wet enough to go on land, as well as the mud. I slam my feet into the ground, making my footsteps echo. A light shines onto me, I stare past it to Ethan, who has crawled up behind the drake and holding a blob of mud. I stare back, seeing the blue belly back up to its growling drake, she says something, then I hear Everette bagging the iguana. I run onto land, seeing Ethan pounce behind the blue belly and fill her face with mud. I ran at the Axolotl, pouncing on them, getting on top of them and lifting my knife threateningly. They cover their face in fear. I look to the left and see Everette swim away as the iguana thrashes around in the bag. A pain jabs me in the gut and I see that the Axo has decided to fight back. I lift my body back and slam it into the Axo, swiveling my knife in my hand and punching them with the handle end. Their eyes roll back in their head and I feel them go limp under me. I look to the side and see the blue belly putting up quite the fight with Ethan, and had somehow gotten onto her drake, it and Ethan were having a hissing fit at the moment. The mud under my feet felt familiar, and I ran across it and grabbed onto the hips of the drake, swiveling my legs under my arms and landing a kick onto the blue belly. Falling off the drake, I rolled out. Ethan could take care of her, did Everette escape?

I looked up to see Xandra tending to the Axo, this was the perfect time to escape, Xandra wouldn’t leave her comrades. Quickly getting up I whistled at Ethan, it echoing to hopefully Oz. I run to the edge of the water and jump in, diving under, trying to get to the bottom. I hear Ethan jump in after me and join me at the bottom. We swim along it together, in the path we had chosen, holding our breath.

***************

Woo! Part 3/4 I have finally decided the next one is the last one. This has been fun so far, we meet our villain. Sorry for the weird 3rd person to 1st person change, I’m just to lazy to edit it XD. Alsooo sorry for the more explainy dialogue and stuff, I just wanted to make sure I got the ideas I wanted across.

Part 1 - Here

There is...a lot for me to go through with these wips LOL. But I gotta know about the Bones AU and Breathless with Shiori????

Honestly, I look at my WIP folder and cry sometimes lol. There’s just so much to write!! And they all are deserving of life but my brain makes things so big that I can’t get them out that fast.

Anyways.

So Feel You In My Bones was actually once posted on my long ago website (RIP witchygirl99.com, you were true one). But I got like 3 chapters in and then stopped with the website because I am greatly lazy. BUT! The gang is all there:

Inuyasha is the forensic anthropologist (Bones)

Kagome is an FBI agent (Booth)

Miroku is the psychologist

Sango’s the pathologist

Koga does double duty as an entomologist/palynologist

Ayame does forensic reconstruction

Shippo’s the intern

And they solve crime! Here’s a snippet!

He ignored Kouga’s middle finger in favour for the broken but glued together bones a little lower on the table. “There are comminuted factures, with the main focus at the proximal third of the tibia and fibula. In addition to the diastatic fracture on the skull, I’m fairly confident that cause of death was most likely due to a vehicular accident. The car would be relatively small, a sedan at its largest.” When there was nothing but silence Inuyasha looked up to see Kouga staring at him quizzically. “Is there a problem?”

“I was just wondering how you get laid.”

“He doesn’t, that’s the problem!” Doctor Miroku Tsujitani burst into the room, his black khakis and fine dress shirt standing out amongst the rest who wore lab coats and hair nets. “Now, there could be several reasons for this. Based on the precedence–”

“Speak another word and I will stick this up your ass,” Inuyasha growled, walking over to his assisting table and picking up a large drill. He smirked as he pressed the trigger and heard the little wail of the rotating head. “Psycho-analyze that shit, shrink.”

“I don’t prefer the term ‘shrink,’” Miroku sighed, giving Kouga a look. “My job is just as important as yours, and I could even argue more so.”

“Then you’d be fighting a lost battle,” Inuyasha muttered rather loudly, removing his gloves and organizing his tools for later cleaning. “Your observations are nothing more than mental illusions and guesses that have been mildly educated through years of useless schooling and an even more useless degree.”

Miroku closed his eyes, leaning against the counter where Kouga was perched. “Man, I’m not even going to bother.”

“It’s not worth your time, even if he is right,” Kouga said, grinning when Miroku just sighed heavily once more. “So what now, mutt face?”

Inuyasha wished that the two men weren’t even near him. It was bad enough he had to deal with the damn wolf demon by his side, but now that human psychologist? It wasn’t his day, clearly. “Now, I’ll have the undergrads go through the database to see if we can find a match in the missing persons database. Really, you’ve been here how long and you still don’t understand the basics of this job?”

Kouga looked at Miroku ruefully. “I don’t care what your psycho-babble says, he’s a fucking asshole.”

Nodding, Miroku couldn’t help but agree.

Inuyasha was ready to beat their heads with John Doe’s femur, but he felt it would rather bother JD’s family. Also, Kaede wouldn’t be too pleased if he killed the SILD’s best entomologist/palynologist and its only shrink. “Are the two of you here to actually provide me with something intelligent, or is it enough satisfaction for you to just annoy me?”

“Not nearly enough, but about as good as it’ll get,” Miroku said, shaking his head. “Kaede also wanted us to speak later. I’ve arranged several appointment times that you’ll have to confirm when available.”

“What shit is that?” Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “Right, as if I’m going to lie down on your uncomfortable, back-breaking couch and tell you my feelings.”

The psychologist sighed. It seemed to be the only thing he did around this institution, despite the good pay. “First of all, it wasn’t optional. Secondly, you do have feelings Inuyasha. I know that deep down they reside there, buried after years and years of abandonment and difficulty through the eyes of social stigmatism.”

“Seriously,” Inuyasha started with a glare, “go jump off a cliff. I promise to examine your body as carefully as I do the rest.”

“You should anyways, it’s your job.” The feminine voice was sharp, firm, just like it always was coming from Sango Houko. The woman was tall, curvy and intimidating as hell. Her dark brown eyes could force anyone to look away, and her sharp tongue was virtually unmatched by anyone. The only person who ranked close with her was Inuyasha, and that was only because his indifference allowed for many arguments to rest at an impasse.

“My dearest,” Miroku murmured, grinning. “How are you feeling today? I must say, coral is really your colour.”

“Bite me.” Sango rolled her eyes, looking up at Kouga. “Did you look at the particulates yet for the Robinson 50J-25?”

Kouga shrugged. “I may have. Have you studied the flesh yet?”

“Obviously or else I wouldn’t have sent you the final batch of particulates.” Sango turned to face Inuyasha, who was staring critically at his drill. “What are you doing?”

“Considering the blood splatter if I rammed this through your head,” Inuyasha muttered, not even sparing a glance up. “Or your jugular, I have yet to determine the path I find most effective.”

Sango narrowed her eyes, looking at him with all the confusion that the woman could muster. “How do you even get laid?”

And Caught is basically a story that takes place in the Breathless universe (therefore, you get to see Inuyasha and Kagome being madly in love and greatly horny post-story) but you also get to witness Shiori living her best lesbian life. Which, honestly, I’ve been dying to write for years.

THANK YOU @smmahamazing! Hopefully these can one day come out and be free of the WIP folder.

Letter from a Leech

The 4th (and final) part to the 1000+ follower milestone piece series. See part 1, part 2, and part 3 too, if you’d like!

These are meant to be “prequels” to the Jade Simping Saga, as they explain the origins of Raven and her...tumultuous relationship with a certain eel.

From here on out...who knows where the story may lead us? I do not wish to flood my blog with Raven lore, but I would be more than happy to continue the story of the cursed raven for future milestones.

For now, please enjoy a message from Mister Jade Leech.

My Dearest Raven,

I hope this finds you well.

I wish I could tell you the contents of this letter in person—however, that task proves to be rather difficult, as you tend to avoid the topic or flee before I can bring it up. The headmaster has also refused to allow for visits. What a finicky little bird you are.

Please. I implore you to read the entirety of this letter before you pass judgement. I promise that there are no lies.

Firstly, I must apologize for my actions. I cannot imagine how painful it must have been for you to learn that you had been deceived. I will do my best to explain my intentions to you—although it is, by no means, an excuse for my behavior. Think of it moreso as a method of unloading a guilty conscience.

I confess, I first approached you with ulterior motives. The Mostro Lounge, as you know, is Azul’s pride and joy. He wishes to see it expand into more locations on campus—however, we were on shaky terms with the headmaster due to a particular incident in the previous school year.

In an effort to win back the headmaster’s trust, we implemented a number of measures: coupons, deals, special menus...yet none were sufficient. Azul asked for me to boost the Mostro Lounge’s reputation by befriending incoming students—and I did as I was asked. Such is my duty as Octavinelle’s vice-dorm leader.

How fortunate I was to stumble upon you. Or, should I say, for you to stumble into me? Imagine, the niece of the headmaster himself, crashing headfirst into me. Azul was delighted with the news, as was I. We agreed that I would get in your good graces for the sake of expanding the Mostro Lounge--and indeed, those were my intentions.

At first.

I must stress that point--at first.

You were such a chaste little thing. So pliant, so credulous. I had never seen such a creature in my entire life. The Coral Sea is a very “fish eat fish” world--innocence is such an oddity.

I was every bit as curious about you as much as you were curious about the world. And so I took you by the hand and guided you through Twisted Wonderland and Night Raven College. That is where the story should have ended--at “business as usual”.

I found you to be rather enchanting. You are so small and timid--and yet you strive for constant growth. The way your eyes light up when you make a new discovery, the way your face scrunches up when you are deep in concentration...I find them to be quite adorable. Even the way you hide behind me and cling to me in times of need...that, too, is endearing. It makes me want to take care of you, to protect you.

With every passing day, I found myself growing fonder and fonder of you.

I had hoped to keep you close to my heart forever.

Azul complained. He informed me that I was working much too slow, and he demanded more of me. I did warn him to not rush things. I tried to explain that you were a fragile little thing. You heard as much, yes? That day in the Mostro Lounge--I saw your crestfallen face just as you fleeing the scene.

You dropped that box of chocolates, and they were crushed. A shame, really. I’m sure I would have enjoyed them.

Again, I apologize for any distress I may have caused. Though the fault is entirely mine, it still wounds me so when you you turn away, when you snap at me, when you run.

Do I scare you?

If that is the case, I find that to be preferable to being forgotten altogether. At least, in that scenario, I would remain in your mind. Loathe me, if you so desire. Think me to be lower than pond scum, if that is what will keep me relevant in your memories.

Just do not forget me.

And know that I refuse to yield.

Whether you accept my advances or reject them--that is entirely your decision to make. But...once something has captured my interest...I will not give up the pursuit so easily.

I love you.

I hope, one day, you will say the same to me.

These sweet words are not a lie--not any longer.

I look forward to the day where you can comfortably abandon your cage and willingly return into my arms. Until then...there will always be a seat reserved for you at the Mostro Lounge.

After all, a little black birdie once told me that I am very patient. I would like to live up to that expectation.

Yours truly,

Jade Leech

P.S. Azul and my brother wish to say hello as well. Floyd would like to know when his beloved Black Pearly will come back to play.

#Jade Leech #twst #twisted wonderland #disney twisted wonderland #angst #wow did this end up being much longer than I initially planned for #the Jade Leech thirst is hella strong #Tale of the Cursed Raven #Raven Crowley #twst oc #twisted wonderland oc
