For your open fic requests, would you be able to do a SaChi moment from their journey to Tu'La, or even of them in Tu'La? If you want that is!
title: chaos in heels
a/n: the potionqueens bonnie-and-clyde’ing it up in Tu’la, feat. a wayward Vylad. This is a quick fic! So it’s kinda vague but here ya go!
With the desolate population of the Tu’la people—down troddenand pathetic, the slums proven to bea lively place crawling with colorful people, figuratively and literally. Though yes, as one withpowdery white hair and striking eye color was strange, the mei’fwas race camein wide varies of unnatural colors.
Err.
Well, technically, being in their land, would it make thegreens and blues and the magentas and red hot pinks she saw the norm.
She downed another shot, glancing around the worn and seedytavern Michi plop her in while she took off to ‘handle some business’. The moodcould only be described as dreary, sparse at this time of day, as people huddleover their drinks or games. It was dirty,to look at as well as a general statement. The bar tender was a small man, skindark and heavy piercing; he must’ve been a happy man once, laugh lines and crowfeet creased deeply into his face, a light pink beard peppered with gray yetcompletely shaven head on top. He wiping an already clean cup, his eyes dartingaround the tavern with cautiousness, gaze occasionally landing on herself.
“You better make good on your word,” a deep voice said asthe doors swung open a bang.
A nervous giggle, a familiargiggle, followed by a near-ear grating voice, “I will. When have I failedyou Marius?”
Sasha sighed, leaning back in her chair and eyeing the triothat entered— two large mei’fwa men, one with a deeply scarred face and theother being most intimidating cat person she ever saw, large and heavy hoopspierced in his ear; between the two, one with an arm anchored on the smallercat girl’s arm, was Michi, donned (annoyingly) with Sasha’s favorite parka andincredibly dwarfed between the two men. She knew Sasha was watching.
And as she led the men over to a table close to her, Sashaknew what the cat girl was doing.
Sasha gestured to the bartender.
“I’m too sober for this,” she muttered under her breath asshe downed another shot.
***
Vylad stiffen when a sudden crash came from the tavern he been keeping an eye on. Tracking acorrupted guard of the Tu’la nobility was easy task and not really needed forthe mission at hand, wasn’t as important. What caught his attention was who they were with.
Michi.
The very same Michi who escaped, along with Sasha, and whohe gone on to theorized to be released by Laurance as a distraction. For ayear, the two disappear without a trace from his radar (he had an inkling Sashamust’ve caught on he was tracking them and used her own skills to cover thosetracks), only to appear now?
He couldn’t let this golden clue disappear.
Except they were, now, escaping.
Sasha, stepping out from the hole she created on thebuilding side from the man she tossed and the dust settling, Michi tossed overher shoulder and another man in her hand as she dragged behind him.
Michi was laughing, holding a sack in triumph while Sashastumbled a couple of steps—clearly not sober but as she tossed the other man ontop of his friend, didn’t make her less of a danger. “See! I told you I’d getthe money!” Michi cried, as takes a coin out of the sack and biting it—actual gold,he assumed by the way the girl grinned and the coin sparkled.
Sasha grunted, glancing down the alley, shifting her hold onthe purple haired girl into a bridal-like carry before darting down the alley.Behind them, an old man yelled after the two as he stepped out the new entrance-waySasha created.
Vylad sighed. This isthe fifth one in a week. I’m starting to think these girls are a bigger threatto Tu’la than the alliance.
In the distance, there’s another crash and shouts down theroad on the otherside of the alley. Vylad, picking up the pace, sighed again.He can’t trail these two chaos-with-legs forever but…
He guess curiousity damned the cat.

*opens tumblr*
*looks at activity*
8 notes??!!
hhhhh I don’t deserve u all thanks soo much <3
well u asked for it
be warned it’s super lengthy again
STUFF I DIDNT LIKE IN MCD SEASON 2:
• Right of the bat I’m just gonna say this season is a hot mess
• what is even going on here
• Why is Phoenix Drop so...untouched? Like yes it’s grown old with age but also everything looks ok not like burnt to the ground or anything
• I’m SURE Zane would have told someone in O’Khasis where he was going especially the Jury and you’re telling me that none of them care?? Not even Janus? His fave juror?
• If I were Janus I’d burn it down just sayin
• Why is Irene’s relic so glorified? I SHOULVE INCLUDED THIS IN THE LAST POST BUT WHY TF DOES ZANE NOT USE ESMUNDS RELIC LIKE WHYYY
• I don’t like how Irene has healing and everyone goes wow but we NEVER GET TO SEE ESMUNDS RELIC (I haven’t rewatched MCD in a while if he does use it lmk and ignore the above :) thx) I’m sure it’s pretty powerful considering in s3 Shad says “a spell by Esmund?” when he sees the protective barrier thing around the portal so it’s powerful and the Irene Dimension fight would have gone different with it
• Why does Aphmau act like a shit friend by venting to Laurance and then ditch him when he needs her most? Like you can’t just keep dumping your problems on him he’s got his own to deal with be supportive
• I LOVE VYLAD that’s it that’s all I have to say
• tho I wish we could have seen more of him and the relationship he shared with his brothers cuz angst time
• HOW is Aphmau able to disguise herself as Zane and WHY do people not question it? She has a different build and body structure, different colored eyes, two eyes not one, tan skin and some chest like cmon that disguise is fooling NO ONE also why is it normal for ‘Zane‘ to show up fifteen years after he was last seen? Why does this make no sense
• This may seem a bit much and honestly you’re welcome to your own opinions on it but I feel as though Zane should have had more of a role in s2. Hear me out. The way his character is written is that his untouchable status as a high priest is a big part of his character. It’s why he’s able to get away with so much shit. Removing that like in s3 ruined him (for me) and not using him at all in s2 seems like wasting a perfectly fine (albeit unoriginal) antagonist. Yes it would mean pretty much everything would change but yknow what maybe it needs to
• AARON. That’s it he’s the problem. In my opinion Aarmau should never have happened. Aph is a lord and doesn’t have time for a romantic relationship. Aaron is a broken shell of a man who definitely doesn’t have the time for a romantic relationship. They speak like 5 times properly and even then it’s nothing overly romantic (as far as I know?). I don’t think naming a child counts as romantic I always saw it as familial?? Aarmau ended being a one night stand that caused Aph so much grief and all through I was just thinking that it should never have happened anyway. They should’ve had a strong platonic bond instead. QUEERPLATONIC RELATIONSHIP. Imagine. it would’ve been so much better. It would’ve brought awareness to a community that is not always shown in the spotlight but is as deserving of it. Why does Aaron stick around after Zane is in the Irene Dimension anyway? Didn’t he say that he was there solely for revenge? Isn’t his part done? Why is he still trailing after Aphmau
• THAT DEATH SCENE THO. Zane and Aaron both die from some unknown magical thing. what is it? I have no clue all I remember is that Aph found it somewhere. someone remind me? I don’t understand why Zane was killed off in the very way they were trying to avoid in s1 I get it it’s been fifteen years real time but...it seemed so underwhelming for me. Anyone else?
• Ive seen a lot of people mention this one before but Laurence should’ve been Shad’s descendant not Aaron it didn’t make sense to me
• WHAT IS THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF O’KHASIS. It’s such a crucial part of MCD yet we never hear of it at all. Since Aph is a lord it matters a lot. I can elaborate more on this if anyone wants me to!!
• WTF is the lore here. In ep 100 Hyria says that Irene had no children and in ms s6 flashbacks I see a child? Whose is it? What is going on??
too tired to add more rn but if you reached here thanks once again I never expected any of this <3

All Your Fault
Vylad stood in the center of the growing village and home of the Pheonix Alliance, staring down at the paved stone path under his worn and tattered boots. He should really try and get some new ones one day, he thought to himself, nudging a stray rock as a female voice cut through a silence so loud and suffocating that he felt like he was being crushed.
"What did you just say?" Aphmau questioned, her voice revealing how shocked she was over what Vylad had muttered, apparently not realizing she wasn't suppose to hear it.
"That's not your business, Aphmau."
"Yes, it is actually, Vylad. Tell me what you said!"
His left eye twitched a bit, hands balling into fists, knuckles turning white as Vylad raised his head, green orbs meeting golden ones, practically glowing with unspoken hatred and anger.
"I said." The Shadow Knight hissed out, not bothering to hide any of the venom in his voice, "That. All. Of. This. Is. Because. Of. You."
Aphmau drew herself up as much as she could, which didn't do much since she was only a few inches taller than the man permanently trapped in the physical appearance of a 15 year old boy, narrowing her eyes and speaking loudly. Asserting her dominance, Vylad realized, watching as Laurance, Garroth, and the rest of the island's inhabitants gathered to see what is going on.
"You, Vylad, do not have any right to talk to me like that. Unless you've forgotten, I'm the Lor-"
"YOU AREN'T MY LORD!" Vylad suddenly screamed, cutting her off as his eyes flashed red. He stepped towards her, the anger, pain, hatred.. all of it seeping off of him in waves as everyine couldn't help but cower away from the angry immortal.
"I do not serve anyone. Especially not you. Ever since you've come into existance, everything you've ever done has brought nothing but pain. Because of you, Zenix snapped and has killed MILLIONS of my kind!"
"Vylad..," Laurance began, taking a step forwards and reaching a hand out to touch his boyfriend's shoulder, only to be practically thrown backwards as Vylad shoved him off.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! Don't even speak! You should be mad at her too! She's the reason you went to the Nether in the first place. If she had just minded her own god damn business, then you would have never gone to the Nether and gotten trapped!" He screamed, face slowly turning a bright red from his anger. His eyes were pure red, and literal steam was wafting off his body, the air around him growing dangerously and uncomfortably hot.
Aphmau stared at him, her usual calm exterior turning to one of anger. "How dare you blame what happened to Laurance on me? Laurance told me YOU were the one who broke the portal and got him trapped! I-I can't even... Why would you ever think everything is my fault!?" She screamed right back, letting out a startled and pained yelp, her cheek flaring up in pain, heat shooting through the left side of her face. The skin of her cheek began to blister and turn red, in the shape of a hand mark.
Vylad's hand hovered in the air for a second, eyes narrowed at the Lord, waiting.. daring her to try and speak again. She didn't, and so he rewarded her with what had been on his mind for over 15 years.
"Because.. it is all your fault. If you never cane to Phoenix Drop, Zenix would still be there, still be somewhat sane. Zane would've never found the village, or Garroth, if you hadn't gotten that bitch Donna and her werewolf lover together. I wouldn't have had to shut the Nether portal to keep the Shadow Knoghts from going to the overworld, and Laurance wouldn't have gotten trapped. I wouldn't have had to spend over two-hundred-fourteen years trapped in a cell for closing the portal, not a single clue of what's happening in this realm. Then, I manage to finally fucking get free and lo-and-behold, you're the first person I fucking run into. And you know what? I was willibg to honestly put aside my disdain for you and try to be nice. And so I ask you what happened to garroth and Zane. YOU DON'T FUCKING TELL SOMEONE THAT THEY'RE BOTH DEAD, NO MATTER IF THEY'RE THEIR HALF-BROTHER OR NOT!"
"Baby brother, Aphmau didn't know.." Garroth told him, voice soothing as he trued to calm the enraged beast that practically towered above them, not showing that he was furious with Vylad for slapping Aphmau.
Vylad looked at him, fuming and steaming, and for a second it seemed like he might actually calm down, before he ran his finger over the engagement ring on his hand, and returned to fueling the flames with even more vigor.
"NO. BECAUSE OF THIS LAZY EXCUSE OF A LORD, OUR BROTHER IS DEAD GARROTH! OUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND IS DEAD! JEOFFREY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF HER! UNGRTH, BRIAN, VISHER! SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF HER CARELESS ACTIONS! SHE IS THE REASON MY OLDER BROTHER IS DEAD, THE REASON MY BEST FUCKING FRIEND SINCE I COULD WALK, IS DEAD! AND DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND SAVE THIS BY SAYING THAT SHE'S DONE SO MANY GOOD THING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT!?"
He stared at all of them, waiting for someone to pipe up, eyes scanning the crowd, watching everyone who he laid his gaze on flinch away, even Lucinda. Finally, a soft voice, belonging to a young blue haired giard in training was heard, asking the question they all know Vylad wanted to hear.
"Why?"
"Because.. every good fucking thing she has ever achieved, has been because I made sure of it. I've stayed in the background pulling strings for years to help her succeed and all I've gotten in return is nothing but pain, abandonment, and death of loved ones. I was the one who resurrected her, led her to Phoenix Drop, guided her in the right direction, gave her Levin. Small things that, if I hadn't done.. She would've never been where she is right now. So you can alls ay that Aphmau is this great, amazing Lord who has brought nothing but good, but I know the truth. Cause everytime something good happens for all of you.. something horrible happens to me."
"Why are you upset over Zane?! He killed you!" Laurance screamed at him, his own eyes flashing red.
Red meets red, before turning back to green as Vylad's voice becane dangerously calm, like the quiet peace before disaster. "No matter what my feeling towards Zane are, they don't erase the simple fact that my brother.. TWO of my brothers, are dead because of her. Laurance, don't you see everything that she's done? She's no hero.. no matron."
Vylad stared at Laurance, desperate to have someone at least seem like they're on his side. But his heart shattered as he watched red fade to blue, before Laurance turned his gaze away, a silent answer.
"Fine." He swallowes, throat closing up as the anger dissipitates, replaced by a familair aching loneliness. "Fine! I see that it appears I'm no longer wanted here. But keep this in mind, 'Lord' Aphmau.. making an enemy of a Ro'Meave is a very dangerous idea."
With that, he turned on his heel, storming off, leaving behind burtn footprints where he had just stood. Everyone watched Vykad storm away, disappearing into the forests, before turning to Aphmau and making sure she was ok.
"Give him some time.. he'll come around and realize he was in the wrong." Garroth assured his two friends, helping soothe Aphmau's burnt cheek.
But unkown to them, Vylad was unassembling his makeshift camp, gathering his items, and preparing to depart through the portal to Phoenix Drop, with the plan of returning to an old friend instead. His dark green eyes landed on his engagement ring that he wore on his middle finger, gently easing it off after years of never removing it. Looking at the small gold band, with a name carved into the inner rim, he felt hot, burning tears slide down his cheeks, blistering the skin that they touched. Anger flared in his chest, a new determination being born. He carefully replaced the ring, but instead of on his muddle finger, he put it where it belonged. Where it should've never been removed. Where he should've never left.
"I'm coming home... Zenix."
