    Summary

    But the warm memories weren’t what he had looked forward to the most today, nor what Mika looked forward to during any of the times he stepped foot into a room filled with fabrics and threads. No, nothing sparked his heart more, bringing him closer still to that picture-perfect waltz, than the look on his Oshi-san’s face did while he created fine works of art with his own two perfect hands.

    WHAT THE fUCK IS THIS????????!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh my good gracious I LOVE THIS W H A T. HOLY HEcK what the actual whaaaaa

    No because the extremely unique and loveable style, the way this author writes Kagehira’s inner speech and words and dialogue and thought and accent from the jawdropping amount of music notes and stars to the description, wonderful wonderful description. And the line breaks and the deliberate italics And SHU. SHOe. SHU ITSUKI. Gorgeous gorgeous being, especially through the lens of this writing and the eyes of Kagehira and the AsaQwWWaAAAwadtahwjwowkw

    And how this author wonderfully creates tension, releases, gathers feelings and sensuality and longing and goes from pain to more pain in a different way to love to *distant screaming*

    How does this have less than twenty kudos even after being here for months, what the fuck enstars fandom? What the hell yall

    Summary

    Morbidly curious, Goro reached out, pushing a hand through Ren’s hair. Ren only shivered.

    “Well,” Goro whispered, withdrawing. “Well.”

    So, he was dead. He was lingering. He supposed that he was panicking, that he was floundering, that he was perhaps even dissociating, but could one experience any of those things, truly, if one were dead?


    When reality returns to normal, Akechi haunts the living.

    Rubs forehead

     

    Sighs

     

    *distantly* what the fuuuckk /positive

    Edit: 10 sep 2024: I reread this entire thing and...shit, man. The horror elements, the characterisation of Haru, the haunting of Ren and Akechi...all the story references too. There’s a lot of wonderful things about this. And..

    (“My mother was a wretched thing. She’d been hollowed out by the world in all its relentless violence, and she wore her hollowness like a crown. Or a cloak.”

    At his side, Haru Okumura said nothing, but her gaze cut to his core as he continued.

    “Do you remember what you said to me about ghosts who try to sink the living? Do you think people who are alive can do that? Do that to their own children—maybe not out of spite or malice, but out of hollowness, out of succumbing to the violence that the world inflicted on you?”

    At this, Haru looked away, and that was answer enough.

    “I loved my mother,” he said. “And she was never to blame for my situation or my behavior or what I became. But she sunk us both.”

    “When you say things like that,” Haru said, sounding very small, “you make me wish we’d met when we were young.” They made eye contact almost accidentally. “You’ll never have my sympathy or my forgiveness, Akechi, but you have everything else.”)

    Yeah, the above blockquote has me sinking into the depth of nothingness (i mean this in the most complimentary way I can muster)

    Okay so just about ALL of the prose is super damn mind blowing but this sentence...made me pause for real. Thanks physics class.

    (“Just take a picture,” Cheng Xiaoshi will say, as if the night sky isn’t one already. A photograph of the past, hundreds-thousands-millions of years old. Its timelines are as tangled as Cheng Xiaoshi’s own.)

    I love space.

    Anyway yeah this was a very specific sorta kinda pokemon!au with elements of horror, love the surrealism, and also really neat tarot symbolisms. Also amazing art and character design and please I love celebi! Cheng Xiaoshi so fucking much. Lu Guang and Qiao Ling as Xatu and Hoothoot are absolutely amazing (as a pokemon nerd who used to memorise the Pokédex I was still shocked to see I remembered all three of these pokemon and lowkey their lore) as well, but Celebi! Cheng Xiaoshi..,they’re....they’re beautiful (buries face in hands)

    Also y e a h imagery bestie. I don’t really seek out horror myself, but somehow the horror fics I come across every now and then are always banging. Definitely including this. So yes.

    I feel like I should reread this someday to fully absorb it. Passing it on to you, future me (salute)

    Summary

    “Why is everyone so obsessed with this? It’s probably just some senior prank.”

    “A senior prank that’s been going on for the past seven years?” Klee put her hands on her hips. “No way! I refuse to believe it! I won’t rest until the identities of these letter-writers are known!”

    “Where’s this dedication for your engineering homework?” Qiqi deadpanned.

    For seven years, Jade Moon University's number one mystery has been Love Letter Lane, a chalkboard in the literature hall where two professors write, well, love letters to each other. Klee is determined to figure out who these elusive professors are. Qiqi's just here to keep her in check.

    Summary

    In her first few hours home, Yu Xia wept uncontrollably.

    She cried seeing Lin Zhen again. She cried walking into Lin Zhen’s noodle stand and also walking out. She cried her through the streets of her hometown and found her whole life was golden, beautiful, filled to the brim with hope. When Lin Zhen put her hand over hers, the whole world burst into symphonic euphoria. Yu Xia wasn’t young anymore, but coming home had left her drunk on her old youth, her old loves.

    “If you’d have me—” she’d said to Lin Zhen, afterwards.

    Lin Zhen’s eyes went soft. “Of course I’d have you."

    Yu Xia comes home.
