periwinkle angel ♡ (kamisato ayato x reader)

ㅡ hehe, just a little something for the birthday boy, ayato ♡ although it's a bit late ~

He is quiet but graceful. Calm but mischievous. He is dutiful but cunning. Yet, even with these stark differences in his character, and behind his all too familiar and gentle smile he displays as a farce for everyone to see ー a facade as hard as the bedrock, a protection he wears due to his strong distrust on most people ー you captured him. You stole his heart, like a Mirror Maiden having him wrapped around your finger.

Kamisato Ayato is a noble who leads like an emperor. He is obsessive and diplomatic, but he is also loyal and kind. Within the chambers of the Kamisato household, he inspires his loved ones with warmth and he reaches great lengths to fulfill your favors.

If that means cancelling all his plans as the Yashiro Commissioner to spend a pleasant afternoon bubble tea and latte tasting with you? Then you don't have to worry as he just hit two birds with one stone.

If there are three things he loves in all of Teyvat, then it would be his bubble tea, his lovely little sister Ayaka and you.

Oh, dear you.

He sits by the terrace with a lovesick look on his face as you name all the drinks that Thoma and the other maids have prepared, all to your liking. Freshly brewed and mixed, all for the both of you to enjoy.

"Although it is a bit late, I asked Thoma for help in preparing these drinks for us. I love latte as much as you love bubble tea, but it would be lovely if we try out other flavors and indulge on these pastries on your special day." you chimed happily as you sit across the table.

Oh, you. He is going to melt because of you. Ayato almost forgot that it's his birthday due to how swamped with work he truly is. You weren't going to let that slide, and he loves you more for it.

"These are lovely selections my love, perfect for the current weather too. Summer is fast approaching and you couldn't have picked a better time." He beams, clasping his hands together as he sets his gaze on the array of drinks before you.

"Oh, that reminds me, we have been preparing for the Spring festival. Bubble tea tasting would be a splendid activity for the young folk to enjoy." He adds, deciding to take a sip of the chocolate bubble tea.

"You really think about work all the time, Ayato. But, I agree. These took quite some time to make though." You say, also deciding to pick a drink of your choice.

"Hmm, this one has a slight bitter taste to it, but it is complimented by the sugary flavor of the pearls. This would be cocoa?" Ayato inquires.

"Yes, the cocoa used was imported from Fontaine a few months ago. How do you like it?" You reply.

"It's just right, the taste of the chocolate is a bit too strong for me. I'll try this blue one next."

"That one's blueberry. It matches the color of your hair doesn't it? I told them to brew it until it reaches a periwinkle shade, to match!" You chuckle.

Ayato looks at you fondly. His lips curved into a smile, one that is not reserved for diplomatic affairs, but one that screams "I love you" all over it.

It's silly, really ー how he turns into a love bug when he's with you. How he seemingly lets go of any formalities and displays his pure nature, all for you to love and embrace in your arms.

The sun is setting in a lovely shade of pink and purple. You have tried almost all of the drinks and have shared countless conversations about the days that passed that you weren't together. And that ends with one resolution:

"I think I still like my matcha latte better." You say, finishing the said drink after. Ayato laughs.

"I would say the same. Nothing competes with the classic flavor of Black bubble tea."

You took a seat next to him and asked, "Did you like this fun little date?" holding his arm and looking up to him, expecting the obvious.

The periwinkle angel smiles and kisses you lovingly.

"Naturally. I wouldn't mind doing this again at the Spring festival."

ー Lolita

MGS Fic Rec List

Name: Yeoyou // Team: Philanthropy // Challenge: C1 (or maybe rather C3? I’m not sure...)

A couple things before I begin listing some of my favourite MGS fanfics:

I’m not really reading a lot of fanfic, generally, so once I’ve found a few authors whose work I love, I stick with them which is the reason why there’s a lot of stories here by not really as many people. Which is why I’ll just go and do this by author...

Most of these recced stories are Otasune-centered because that’s my jam ;D

This is fucking long so have a cut

1. @higharollakockamamie

Sadly moved on to other fandoms now but their stories are a gift to this fandom and you should read all of them if you love good writing, good characterisations, fun and feels and excellent smut as well because Higharollakockamamie deals out all of that effortlessly!

Plasticity

This is a slow burn character study gangbang AU fanfic in which Hal is slowly being seduced by Kaz, Ocelot and Big Boss at Shadow Moses - although he’s rather oblivious to the fact at first. This was one of the very first fics I’ve read in the fandom and I clicked on it mostly because of curiosity because how can such a pairing work (let me tell you, it does!)? But then I fell in love with the writing, HIgharollakockamamie’s language, style, the slow unfolding of the story and how well the characters work in this setting and how recognisable they are. EVEN IN THE PORN! Which, yes, eventually does happen and it’s glorious. If my utter devotion to this story wasn’t evident yet, I’ve done a (poor) podfic reading of the first chapter here and had entirely too many feelings about my continuation headcanons here ;D [Chapters: 9 // Words: 29,634]

The Show?

VKaz, so not something I usually read a lot of, but this is so fucking good that it has to make this list! It’s just the boys listening to some music and chilling and talking and I don’t even know what‘ll happen to you if you actually hardcore ship them because I don’t and this left me stunned with how good it is!!! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,073]

2. Mightyscrub

Now, Ren, aka the mightiest of scrubs, is one of my other absolute favourite fanfic authors and persons in general because of their unabashed love for the weird and the bizarre (if you know one fic by Ren it’s probably the tentacle porn one) and the cheesy but also because their stories always resonate as real and grounded. They’re equally good at action, the fun and hilarious, the deeply moving and emotional and you can get all of it in a single scene! Evident through it all: the utter love for the characters! (Sidenote: Ren writes so good I even read their DreamDaddy fics and I know nothing about any of that but they’re glorious and kinda Jupiter family if you squint really really hard)

Fics I particularly enjoy (and sometimes that’s “enjoy” as in “ripped my heart out” but you know...):

Don’t Say A Word

Teenager Sunny worrying about her Dad who seems to turn into a shadow because of his grief over Snake’s death so she returns home. What follows will warm your heart, rip it out and stomp on it, drown it in feels and just generally puts you through a rollercoaster of emotion. And it’s good. So fucking good! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 4,331]

Developments

This one’s porn and it’s the best. Hal and Dave have been having sex for a while now but it doesn’t have a name, this thing they do, and they don’t talk about it or go any further than hands and mouths and Hal kinda wants to be up to lube activities so he gets some. bottom!Snake. Just glorious, hilarious, deeply human porn with dialogues to die for! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,515]

Rest

Post MGS4 Otasune feels fest where Snake sort of “proposes” to Hal. This is pure sad fluff because Snake is still dying and everything but they’re so in love and with Sunny they‘re a sort of happy family and this will give you massive feels but you should definitely read this!! (and prepare a bucket for your tears) [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,961]

Building Blocks

Very like “Rest” in the feels department, with old Snake and all, but with less dying Snake and a happy ending instead. Like “Rest” there’s so much that’s kind of mundane but also really meaningful and metaphorical if you want to go that deep and just feels so fucking real. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,351]

Recovery

Otacon gets kidnapped, there’s so much angst and feels and Jupiter family glory and God, Ren just writes these characters so good it’s a crime! If you like to suffer via great writing, definitely read this story!! [Chapters: 3 // Words: 10,250]

Teeth

I know, I know, Ren is mostly known for her monster AUs or the occasional dinosaur or alien but I only wanted to include finished stories here so while you should go and read all those others and encourage them to finish them hopefully one day, Teeth is the one that makes this list. Also because it’s one of my absolute favourite werewolf AUs ever read with an amazing new take on the trope and wonderful nods to canon and again, characters and character interaction are where Ren really shines. [Chapters: 4 // Words: 16,994]

Secret Handshakes Required

Philanthropy era, pre-slash but barely and quickly slipping into proper slash and holy wow on a waffle this story is everything you could ever want from an Otasune story. It’s even got a mission going on in the background, awkward, endearing first time sex and more feels than my heart at least can handle!! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 4,947]

3. @kawaiibooker

Let’s have a break with some VKaz for a change with Kawaiibooker’s incredible V series and V One-shot series which I recently read (and commented) for the MGS Winter Games and boy do I not regret having done that because it’s such a wonderful series for a pairing that I only lowkey ship because I’m more at home in the Philanthropy era of MGS. That didn’t help much with not drowning in feels though because Jess is such a good writer with a masterful grip on her characters! Since I can’t list all of them (all of which, however, you should read), I’ll list those that stick out the most to me.

The Footprints That We Leave (Crush Us Till We're Free)

This is the ending to the main series (with a Dave cameo!!!) and fucks you right in the feels because Miller thinks Dave killed Venom and is barely coping with that so lots of angst and hurt but also a happy ending!!!! [Chapters: 3 // Words: 14,184]

I Need Somebody (To Lean On)

Okay, I said I’d only list completed fics but I cannot not include Pequod Darling Felix, the best Pequod and so supportive to the boys and I just have way too many feelings about this darling man and the way Jess writes him and so even if there’s no other chapters coming, you should absolutely read the first one!! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,538]

In My Mind (I Call You Home)

Jess doesn’t just write excellent character pieces but also wonderful porn so have one with some lovely phone sex XD [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,011]

Listen Closely (I'm Lost Without You)

It seems I like the hostage stories because of glorious angst so have one where Kaz and the Diamond Dogs are held hostage and they‘re all waiting for the demon to safe them. Kaz seeing Venom in action is something quite different to knowing what his lover does while away on a mission. SO GOOD. SO MUCH HURT! [Chapters: 2 // Words: 4,247]

Our Love (Is Written In Sand)

Back to the porn, this time with glorious beach sex that’s just the perfect ratio of smut/fluff because these boys love each other so much! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,181]

Bury My Heart (Next To Yours)

The ending to the one shot series and picking up right where “The Footprints...” leaves off with Kaz and V reunited in old age and living the quiet life they deserve. Also features sunflowers and a very good cat! [Chapters: 3 // Words: 4,835]

4. @fractalspaces/LotusRox

Lynx’ stories are full of poetry and emotion and I always approach them with caution because I know how effectively they play with my feelings. They never fail to affect me and that’s a dangerous gift for a fic writer because Lynx isn’t here for your casual fic reading.

Lah’Shoov

Hal running through the (former) Microwave Corridor to get to Snake with all the painful angst and fear and guilt you’d expect but of course we also know that he’ll find Snake alive so with a hopeful ending. [Chapters 1 // Words: 1,997]

Chemistry of Combustion

A trip down memory lane of how Hal always loved people who smoked, two who didn’t deserve it and the one who does. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,367]

Adrift, Unsung

This is just SO GOOD and SO PAINFUL! Okay, admittedly the end is not but everything up to then is glorious pain. Post-Discovery and two men trying to rebuild the trust between them (and they seriously just need all the hugs!!) [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,608]

5. @141-point-12/thelonebamf

Cat, the true hero of the MGS Winter Games, the champion fangirl and inspiration to us all, the Queen of Otasune, cheerleader and enthusiast extraordinaire. I have nothing but the maddest respect for her because of her generosity and commitment, her openness, her creativity and her fearlessness in just doing what she wants to do (which is, weirdly, a lot harder than it should be). Whether it’s pins, drawings, zines, her amazing podcast together with Zeke or her latest idea that has brought everyone together, the Winter Games, she just does it. But this is a fic rec post (or something) and she also writes amazing fanfic with a knack for atmosphere and characters so have some of my favourites of her.

No One Has to Know

I don’t even know why I love this AU so much. Maybe it’s because Dave accidentally picking up runaway Hal because he thinks he’s a prostitute turns the usual concept of Hal not being able to imagine David could ever want him on the head. Maybe it’s because it’s so fluffy and cute but with an ending that hurts before it heals. I don’t know. Maybe you can tell me once you’re read it? [Chapters: 7 // Words: 13,999]

Pictures of You

I still owe Cat a proper comment for this one but I loved it when I first read it in the zine (with awesome illustrations by Harshai) because it has all my favourite Cat fic ingredients of tender and insightful character moments for my favourite ship and favourite egg family. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,023]

Rat in a Foxhole

This is just SO GOOD!! AU where Hal is a recruit at Foxhound, which will break your heart in a very toasty way. It’s such a good exploration of a different dynamic between these two characters because they’re at different points in their life but so true to the original characters! [Chapters: 6 // Words: 13,779]

Call on Line Two

If you’re looking for some short fun, fluff AU, this one’s for you. Sort of the opposite of “No One Has to Know”; it’s Hal who thinks Dave wants sex when he calls instead of tech support because he messed up the numbers. David doesn’t mind. Tech support still happens eventually. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,610]

Occasions for Hope

A wonderful character study of Hal and his relationship with his father of Hal and the parallels between himself and his father and also, significantly, where those parallels fail. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,704]

Let it Be

More wonderful little glimpses of Hal and Dave and their relationship during the Philanthropy years. Little mundane and significant moments that are absolutely perfect! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,498]

And of His Nature

Short but wonderful piece of writing full of poetry and character analysis that is one of my absolute favourite Otasune fanfics! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,015]

Fifty Dogs

This list wouldn’t be complete without the, to me at least, legendary “worth 50 dogs” story!! ALL THE FEELS! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,265]

Ladies, Gentlemen and other Folk, thank you for your attention, now go read some A++ fanfiction! Yeo out!

#very fitting that this should be my last submission for the winter games #mgswintergames #mgs winter games #metalfloat #I'm sorry Cat
