"Leo," I no longer know what I want, but... the oath I took back then was sincere.

Marion:

She's gentle and loves humanity. However, it's this love that leads to her downfall. Believes she should have died sooner. Her entire existence is an allegory for freedom, right? So, why is she still trapped? She loved Rayne however her want for freedom was stronger. Having never confessed, Marion almost regrets running away. Rayne is her most beloved.

What they think about the other: "I love you. I loved you and yet I still ran from you. I see you in my dreams. In a world where I never left your side. In a world where we were happy together."

Rayne:

While appearing dense and oblivious, she's actually extremely wary and notices things that even Marion may not notice at first glance. Always taking Marion's well-being over her own to find some semblance of reason to live. She is unaware of Marion's death.

What they think about the other: "I yearn for you but I know that's far too selfish of me. Go, my songbird. Fly free and never want for someone whose heart is as blackened as mine."

You and your friends, age ten, meet your adult selves from fifteen years in the future. Some are surprised, others are delighted, but you… you’re afraid of this person. “What… happened to us?”

[kanaewrites]

Au drabble

She looked exhausted, like she hadn't slept in eons. The dark teal of her hair was different from mine, which was black...

The smile on her face was weary, like she was trying her best to appear happy yet miserably failing.

"You're... me... right.?" I asked, softly, taking the white of my oversized shirt in my hands.

She softly nodded. "Yes, yes. I'm you. Sorry for disappointing you, Mari." The drowsiness in her voice was too apparent. Only one question came to mind.

"What... happened to us.?" The little girl asked as her older self had been unable to hold herself back from crying.

"I couldn't protect him." She weeped. The little girl, who had been separated from her little brother had thought the worst. "Is Quin-" Then it hit her.

Quin was no longer part of her older self's life. The Marion in front of her had gotten too attached to someone else. Someone she considered dear. "I lost him and it's all my fault." She continued to cry as she fell to her knees, as her younger self hugged them.

PSA for those writing coffee shop AUs, bakery AUs, etc.

I have worked in the food service industry for 20 years and I just wanted to make an informational list of common mistakes or misconceptions I see in writing about said industry. Not trying to be a jerk, just thought I would try to make a helpful list! I will add more if I think of any and please feel free to ask any questions you may have!

- it's cookie dough, not cookie batter. Doughs are for thicker stuff, typically something you can pick up in your hand (cookies, bread). Batters are more liquid and pourable (cakes, brownies, muffins)

- one person cannot make all the products from scratch and bake everything themselves unless they are a very slow business. Most of the time someone has a specific thing they do weather it's focused on specific products or split up like one person does the batters/doughs, one person preps and bakes, one person decorates. Sometimes one person does multiple things but generally not every single thing every day by themselves

- Front of House = people interacting with customers like barista, waiter, person at the register. Back of House = people making the food (line cook, baker, etc), dish washer (the worst job in the world, I salute all dishwashers everywhere)

- if they're doing stuff like bagels, doughnuts, breakfast pastries, cinnamon rolls, bread, etc they are there EARLY. Depending on the product some people start working at 2 in the morning. I saw a published book that had someone making dozens and dozens of cinnamon rolls from scratch in like one hour. Not possible even though I wish it was

- frosting, icing, and glaze are all different things. Frosting is the thicker stuff you see on cakes and cupcakes. Icing is typically for cookies, especially the decorated cut out sugar cookies. Glaze is thin, like what you get on doughnuts

- 99% of people who work in the food service industry will immediately go home and shower. I've seen lots stories where the character gets done at work and goes out. You are covered in various substances with powdered sugar in places you didn't know it could get, a shower before Literally Anything is a must

Your blorbo has been kidnapped by aliens to be put in a zoo exhibit, along with some other humans - your mutuals' blorbos.

... "So, would someone like to explain how this happened.?" was the first thing any of them had said since they had woken up.

It could definitely be worse... They could have been sent back to their original owners. But then again, most of them had either gotten rid of their brandings or were presumed dead.

"I think they knocked us out. I was in the clinic, reorganizing when I suddenly lost consciousness." Sezim sighed.

Well, that's a start... Wait a second... 1, 3, 18... 22. They're down by 2.

No wonder Marion looked a little panicked. "Has anyone seen AJ?" She stammered. Both AJ and Seung weren't in the damned enclosure.

AJ and Marion were practically family. Marion couldn't bare the thought of losing him. "Calm down, calm down. I'm sure he's okay. Same with Seung..." Hyacinth tried to soothe the frightened Marion.

"I'm sure he's fine, Mari." Sezim tried to help as she already started to break down, tears streaming down her usually calm face. "Why aren't you worried about Seung.?" She questioned, shakily.

Your blorbo has been shrunk down to the size of a snail, and is trapped in a terrarium.

Due to one of Jizi's experiments gone wrong, he had found himself almost crushed under Marion's foot if it weren't for his screaming when her boot almost smushed him...

The explosion wasn't too loud and Marion was passing by when she heard it. So to keep him safe, Marion placed Jizi into a jar with some items to keep him busy.

Jizi tapped repeatedly on the jar as to get his captor's attention.

"Mari! I'm hungry." He chimed from inside.

So, they ended up having lunch early that day.

"What's with the jar?" Sezim asked as Marion hadn't bothered to set it upright, only tipping it over for Jizi to climb out.

"Ah, no reason." She nervously laughed as she smoothly moved the shrunken Jizi behind a stack of papers.

[socialliterature]

Your blorbo shows up to volunteer, only to discover the most annoying character from your favorite book/show is in charge of organizing everyone.

[kanaewrites]

It was early in the morning when Marion walked into the clinic, the hallways unusually silent. As she stepped into the room at the far end of the hall. She just so happened to find practically everyone standing around. And in the center of the room, he stands, menacingly,

Izumi Sena from Ensemble Stars.

I dont have a grudge against Izumi by the way. Hes just the first character I thought of.

[kanaewrites]

I felt the tears well up in my eyes as my body seemed like a far concept. It had been seconds yet it felt like millennia ad I watched my still corpse in front of me.

[kanaewrites]

"You were everything to me, my dear brother... Please don't linger on the thought of me. For I may not be around to comfort you much longer"

Rayne: Can you call me yours or will I have to suffer with the fate of my consequences yet again, my beloved songbird?
