Lonashipping Week: Day #7: Water

“ And if we overflow, if we can bear no more, I’ll be the one who’s near to dry away your tears

So when I find you blue, can I do this for you? I might get waterlogged, but I don’t mind at all…

- 

- 

That’s why I ask, thereof, please offer your sweet love, I want it once again, I want so much for you

to wake me up…

Swimming in this elegy “

- Aimai Elegy/Lost Love Elegy (music and lyrics by DECO*27)*

Okay, so I was going to skip this day entirely, but decided against it and kept thinking of other ideas. Among those ideas was a Lost Love Elegy deal and… that’s how this ended up here. 

Also edits courtesy of lunapic. 

and thus ends LonaWeek, thank you all so much, participants (i.e artists, writers, etc.) and fans alike! Without you, this certainly would’ve never existed. So thank you all. Thank you so much for your support!

Lonashipping Week | Day 7 | Prompt 7: Water

“Gladi–oh. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no–” Hau begins to repeat as he approaches the broding blonde. His scowl stronger than ever as his attention shifts away from the ocean

“Oh no, what ?” Gladion barks. Hau throwing him a bottle, hesitantly, cautiously. He catches it more aggressively than he wanted to let on. Opening it hurriedly. Swigging it angrily.

“I know that look.”

“What look?”

“The look on your face–”

“Spit it out, Hau!”

“You’re jealous.”

And suddenly Gladion wished he didn’t ask Hau to be so blunt.

–

Gladion wasn’t sure he remembered how to breathe. Drowning in her stormy eyes. Engulfed in her words. Submersed in her presence. But Moon, like her namesake, had more influence than she knew of, and Gladion felt like the primary target to her gravitational pull.

All she had to do was give him a glance and he would talk.  A smile and he would go. Plead and he would agree.

He would push and she would pull.

And she always won–the proof in the results.

So now he sat here under the blistering Alola sun, sitting on overheated sand, breathing in salty humid air. His only refuge an umbrella and the cold bottle of water pressed into his skin.

Only here because Moon asked–well, begged with pouted lips, warm hands clasped over his. The gentle crash of her “please, Gladion? ” washing over all of his senses as he stuttered out the “yes”. Her face lighting up making it seem like a good idea.

As he felt his skin melting off, however, he realized there was no good at all. And instead of being with her, he was alone with everyone’s discarded items. His gaze casted into the ocean; watching as Moon splashes in the water with Ilima. Sure, everyone else was there too; his sister, Sun, Hau, all of the trial captains.

But Moon and Pinky?

They were most definitely farther out.  She was most definitely as vibrant as ever. Ilima obviously felt some type of way.

And Gladion was not going to give Hau the satisfaction of admitting he was jealous.

Because he wasn’t.

But then he finds his insides churning as he continues to stare. A rush of water causing her to lose her footing and stumble. He finds himself wanting to go. To jump in. But it comes a second too late. The melodic laugh audible. Her visible smile directed towards Ilima as she takes his hands and pulls herself up.

So maybe Hau was right.

He was jealous.

lonashipping week: water

ophelia

Moon’s the girl who ventured into Ultra Space to face dangers unknown, and she came back in one piece.

Except maybe she didn’t, and maybe it’s a good thing that Gladion finds out.

He knows it’s a little hypocritical of him to be interrogating her when he’s the one who’s so insistent on keeping their relationship as shallow as possible. Just calling her his rival felt like an overstep, like he was claiming something he has yet to prove himself worthy for.

This, though, is something that a friend would do, and is uncharted waters for him.

Part of him still feels like he should leave, but watching her aimlessly float makes him push past it and ask, “What are you really doing?”

She opens her eyes, staring up at the night sky and not seeing anything at all. Her gaze is glazed over, far away and unreadable to him. He’s never seen her look so lost, and he wonders how many nights she’s passed in secret like this.

“You asked me once, what it feels like to be in Ultra Space.” Her voice barely carries across the water, all broken edges and torn-up seams.

.:Water:.

After having being turned into a merman, and stayed in that form for months, it was quite weird and, somewhat, uncalled for when he finally turned human again. Luna, the mermaid that had helped him these past few months, and the one that was once captured in a tank in his office years prior, it was hard to leave her behind. She had showed him and taught him so much about the ocean, in so many ways that others could only dream of. Standing at the beach, feeling the sand under his feet again was rather strange and unfamiliar. Hearing a few splashing sounds behind him, he turned and found her standing there, looking at him with a quite confused expression, but it wasn’t because he was human again, it was because of his own expression.

What is it? Isn’t this what you wanted? // she asked, tilting her head.

Yeah…it was. // he replied, looking into his palms.

Then what’s wrong? // she then asked, looking even more confused.

It…came a bit quicker than I expected. // he said softly, shifting his eyes over to the female.

Oh…How come? // she asked again, tilting her head to the other side.

He bit his lower lip, not sure how to tell her. For the months he had spent with her, he had found himself getting quite attached to the mermaid. All the moments, the experiences and adventures they had under the surface had put him in a quite difficult position, emotionally.

Because…I’m going to lose something… // he muttered softly.

Lose something? Have you lost something? Is it close by? I can get it in a hurry if you want to? // she said, looking around herself.

Gladion chuckled softly, finding her innocence sweet. He started to walk out to her, stopping right in front of her, telling her that it wasn’t a thing he had lost, or would lose, which made her even more confused. He sighed, scratching the back of his neck while looking down, seeing that she were using her tail to stand up and preserve energy while talking to him. His chest grew tight, swallowing thickly as his mind started to race, trying to find something to say that wouldn’t make it worse for him, or even her. Looking up and directly at her, meeting her grey eyes. She averted her eyes from him, sounding somewhat disappointed, thinking that she wouldn’t be able to find whatever he had lost, only to get her mind interrupted by him lifting her chin up, planting his lips onto hers. Taken by surprise, she didn’t fight it, but rather leaned into it and as she did, he gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

You’re the one i’m losing… // he muttered softly as their lips parted.

Gladion… // she muttered softly.

I’m sorry, that just blurted out of me and I shouldn’t have done that. // he said and let go of her, backing off a little.

She just stood there, watching him back off and then turn around, walking up to the shore again. She gently touched her lips, looking down into the water before diving off in a hurry. Gladion could hear the soft sobs from her as she disappeared under water, fighting his own emotions as he continued up at the beach, heading to the streets and the city, starting to head home.

I’m sorry, Luna… ———- Last lonashipping week prompt “Water”. And a little bit of angst bcuz why not? ;)

Lonashippingweek Day 6 - Fairy Tale!!

Hope you guys like this :D!!

One was a royal wizardess and the other was a prince. They've been friends since childhood and their relationship seemed to get closer and closer as the years passed. 

Gladion sat in his royal study, bored out of his mind when the space next to his desk distorted.

A girl stepped out of the distorted space, midnight blue hair and stunning gray eyes, Moon.

"Bored?" she asked, leaning on his desk. She was wearing a black trumpet sleeved shirt and pants with a hooded white and gold cloak rested on her shoulders. Leg belts rested along her legs and she wore long brown combat boots. Gladion groaned, slamming his head on his desk, "Yes…" he groaned.

Moon tilted her head around slightly to look at him, "Then leave the castle,"

Gladion sharply looked at her, "Do you think it's easy for me to just waltz out the front gates?!" Lusamine, his mother and the queen, was very protective of him and his sister after an incident with their father. So he was never able to leave with all the extreme measures taken.

She hopped away and turned to him, placing a hand on her waist with a smirk, "Isn't it?" She snapped her fingers and the next thing he knew, he was in an alleyway.

Moon glanced at his suit, "Hm...your clothes are way too fancy,". Snapping her fingers once again, he now wore a white tunic and black overalls.

Moon also changed her clothes, now wearing a tan blouse with a flower pattern and a blueish-green skirt. "Now we're ready," she spoke with a smirk.

"Ugh, Mother's going to get mad at me later…" Gladion groaned.

Moon slapped his shoulder, "Stop being so pessimistic, mini-edge!"

Gladion rubbed his shoulder and glared at her, "Stop using that name," he hissed.

"Oh come on, like I'm doing that," she smirked and grabbed his hand.

His face flushed, "W-what are you doing??"

"Huh? I'm going to lead you on a tour obviously."

"Do you have to hold my hand though??"

"Obviously,"

"Why??"

"Because I want to,"

Silence settled between the two. It took a few seconds for Moon to realize what she just said while Gladion's face turned a brighter red. 

Her hand immediately let go of his as she realized what she said, "W-WAIT. T-THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT-" Moon started to shout, waving her hands in the air as her face became a bright red.

Gladion turned his head away, hiding his blush from behind his palm as Moon panicked. He had to admit, it was funny and cute to see her so flustered. He quietly snickered and Moon froze, a bright red blush settled on her flustered face.

"A-are you laughing...?"

Gladion turned his head trying to hold back more laughter, "N-no,"

"S-stop lying!" Moon shouted, hitting him multiple times on the chest. She may be the youngest and strongest royal wizard but her physical strength is little to none. 

Gladion couldn't hold it in anymore and started to burst out laughing.

Moon's blush deepened before impulsively grabbing the collar of his shirt, bringing him down to her level and pressing a kiss on his lips.

He immediately stopped laughing and froze unsure of what to do.

Moon let go before realizing what she had done. Taking a step back, she stared at the floor as she buried her face in her hands, "S-sorry!" She squeaked. 

It was Gladion's turn to smirk. He gently grabbed her hands and pried them away from her face. He then kissed her, "I like it," he murmured as he slightly pulled away.

Dance and Dash | FAIRY TALE | Lonashipping Week 2019

Summary: Kissing the future king of a nation before running away with his crown had not been in her plans – but Moon can’t say she regrets her actions a single bit.

Wordcount: 1825

A/N: I love AUs so I’m breaking my series’ order to slam in a small AU because I’M NOT THAT SKILLED OK HFJDIKS tbh in hindsight I could have but I just had this prompt written sooo yeah

I can’t believe the week is almost over I’m almost emotional jdfhkjlskñ but I’ll be posting other stuff again SO ENJOY

—

This, in retrospect, is not how Moon had expected to spend the night, dressed in an all too fancy dress with looks that certainly do not belong in this gala.

Princesses and princes of all over the region dance around the room in complete harmony, heels clicking on the marble floor to the rhythm of the slow tempo of the classical music wafting around the room. Clad in clothes way too expensive for her intrusive status, Moon looks for her workmate around the room with nervous eyes.

The more she stays in that position, the more they risk being caught, and if they want to go back to their homeland, they cannot mess up. Their home is very far away from here, where pigeons don’t fly and boats can’t reach. Somewhere above the sky, where stars shine all the time and trees are purple and blue.

Moon and Hau had crashed in the shore of this rich country, where they heard that Queen Lusamine kept magic jewels in her crown that could help Moon and Hau go back to their homeland, but it was never easy to infiltrate a castle guarded by a myriad of guards and soldiers, and the attentive viper eyes of the Queen herself.

So tonight is the perfect opportunity to steal the crown and go back home where they would not be chased. Hau is the one in charge of infiltrating the place after Moon had successfully gotten him soldier clothes to sneak through the hallways of the castle. All she has to do now is wait.

But she is getting anxious. Nervous. It’s been long since she separated from her workmate and he is never this slow.

Moon gazes down at the little pocket watch in her hand, golden and copperish with age, the coordinates to her home written within it, a secret she shall never reveal. She always takes it with her whenever she goes out of her castle, and she found herself with it in her hands when she woke up those weeks ago, washed by the waves of the kingdom.

She waits for Hau, somewhat hidden from the crowd as she drinks a bit of liquor by the drink table, and the sea of people breaks momentarily to reveal a seemingly unkempt man in a white, green and black suit.

frivolous fantasies [Gladion x Moon]

This story is complete ☀︎ | Oneshot | AO3

Lonashipping Week | Day 6 | Prompt 6: Fairy Tale

“You know I’ve been wondering about you a lot,” the melodic curiosity in her voice ringing in his head. “Always coming out of those gated grounds. Garbed in a tattered black cloak… ” how he found himself swallowing slowly. Thickly. Concern for being caught not necessarily the reason why his heart picked up in speed. She was closer. Her breath was steady. Her charcoal eyes meeting his shadowed viridescent ones, his golden hair hidden under the secured hood. There was no way she knew. No way she knew. No way–

“ t almost makes me think you’re more important than you let on hmm, merchant’s boy?”

His mouth sutters opens to refute the claim, the shakiness of her name following off his lips having no follow up. No words to stumble or trip over even as his head runs through millions of defenses. But then she giggles and pulls back and suddenly the distance is all he misses.

“But someone from Aether would never hang out with a lowly townsperson like me–even at these odd hours. Right,Gladion?”

Frivolous fantasies.

That’s all those evenings with her were. His escapades off the grounds had led him on a path of his untimely demise. One of ebony hair that matched the sky he ran from, and silver eyes that could only compare to the decorum in his family’s household.

Gladion could count on one hand the amount of times he found himself believing in anything not solidified and backed up by evidence.

Zero.

And he was a firm believer in making sure people knew that he would not subject himself into believing old wives tales.

There was no such thing as magic. No royalty to be saved. No dragons to slay. No person to fall in love with in an instant.

Lady of Moonstone Scales

Lonashipping Week Day 6: Fairy Tale|  Read on AO3

in a delirious craze of madness i. decided to write a multichapter fic for day 6.

The fic is based off my favourite fairy tale, Bai Su Zhen. It’s about a snake demon who falls in love with a mortal man that ends up with her being sealed in a bell for like 30 years and separated from her lover until her sister beats up a monk. Uh. It probably won’t go that way in this fic. Actually I changed quite a few aspects of the story already oops. But anywayyyy yeah I spent like 10 hours writing this in a fit of madness and now I’m going to collapse somewhere because I am tired 

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

For all his five years, Gladion has never seen anything like this before. Snakes are usually green or brown, with cold eyes and flicking tongues. This one is smaller than most of the snakes that lurk in the woods, half-submerged in the water. And its scales- they’re like pearl, glistening and shimmering in the water.

It floats, lifeless, along the riverbank. Sadness stirs in his breast- maybe it’s a hatchling, and fell into water.

Then it twitches. The barest hint of life.

His parents and tutors have warned him about the dangers of the wild animals in the woods- but those thoughts are far from Gladion’s mind as he plunges into the water and wades towards the little white creature. He picks it up carefully, surprised by how easily the snake fits in his hands.

It moves again, slightly, its head angling towards him, studying him with faint, gray eyes.

Gray? Snake eyes were usually black in amber.

Its tongue forks out, tasting the air. Is it aware of him? Gladion gulps, suddenly realizing that he’s holding a snake in his hands. Snakes are dangerous, sometimes poisonous. And in the stories, they don’t differentiate between friend or foe, striking whoever so much as comes close to them.

“I’m not going to hurt you,” he says, voice trembling.

The snake studies him, then as if it understands, it lowers its head back against his hand.

lonashipping week: fairy tale

en garde

Moon decides to put Gladion’s old fencing equipment to use, and he decides that not everything from his past has to haunt him.

They also trade Shakespearean insults and end up in a compromising position, but that’s neither here nor there.

Moon chews her cheek, considering him as she twirls her blade. “Which version doesn’t have any rules?”

“None of them.” The idea of anything not having rules, especially something that he has had the rules drilled into him repeatedly, is baffling. He can nearly hear his mother’s voice reminding him, and so he blocks it out with his own research, with the things he always found interesting as he looks down at his dueling sword and explains, “And épée has different rules than foils or sabres, namely that a touch can be landed anywhere on the body and that there is no right-of-way with attacks -”

A rubber tip of an épée lands on his chest.

He looks up into Moon’s grinning face as she freezes in her lunge. “A hit,” she teases, stepping back and giving her sword a theatrical swish, “A very palpable hit.”

“You said Twelfth Night, not Hamlet.” What little annoyance he musters in his voice is a very thin façade that’s immediately cracked by his inability to hide his smile.

She winks. “I also said I’m not playing by any rules.”

.:An Elf’s Lullaby:. Living in a world were elves and humans, somewhat, lives in harmony, it’s seen as taboo for either of the species to hang around each other, much less, fall in love. Gladion had been hanging around, involuntarily for a while, around a female elf. She was sweet, quite soft spoken most of the time, but what made him fall for her were her strong and determined mind. She didn’t think twice of helping others, no matter what it was, which he admired from her. This particular night, he had trouble sleeping. He kept waking up, his body flinching him awake every time he was about to doze off. Not finding it necessary to lay around in bed, he decided to take a nightly stroll, hoping that clearing his mind would help, as well as getting some fresh air would make it easier to fall asleep when he got home again. Wandering around, he stumbled upon the female again, who were sitting by a tree, watching the fields in front of her and the wildlife that happened there.  Trouble sleeping? // she asked, not looking over at him. You could tell? // he asked in a husky voice, scratching the back of his neck as he approached her. The fact that you are here, at night, makes it quite obvious. // she said, followed by a soft giggle. He sat down beside her, asking what she was doing and why. She replied by pointing at the field, telling him that she had always dreamed of seeing one of the many forest guardians. He found that quite ridiculous, as those mythical creatures were fairy tales only. Something people wrote or said to someone to keep their kids out of the forest at night. They kept sitting there in silence for a while, and Gladion found himself nodding off a couple of times, which she noticed and giggled softly. She shifted her position, sitting on her knees and patted lighty. Lay down. I’ll make you sleep in no time. // she said softly, giving him a soft smile. Being as tired as he was, he didn’t hesitate and moved in front of her and gently laid his head down onto her lap. It was quite comfortable at first, but after a while, she shifted her position again, which made him rather annoyed, but didn’t say anything. After she got comfortable again, she pulled him towards her, and his head landed on something soft, her arms gently wrapped around him. An elf’s lullaby should do the trick…~ // she said and softly started to hum. She hummed a quite soft and soothing melody, placing her head onto his as she lightly starting to sing in her native language. Closing his eyes, he slowly drifted off, his mind being at ease and his thoughts calming down. Picturing the fields and the wind making waves in the long grass, animals casually walking around and minding their own business and calmly living, he managed fell asleep.

Familial Intervention [Gladion x Moon]

This story is complete ☀︎ | Oneshot | AO3

Lonashipping Week | Day 5 | Prompt 5: Family

Gladion wanted nothing but to go home. The ticking of his wristwatch filling him with dread as hands grew louder and his heart started thumping. Both counting down to his unfriendly demise as anxiety fills him and anguish sets in.

Sure, he was on time, his punctuality held to the highest of standards undoubtedly, but that didn’t mean he wanted to be on this date.

And one enforced by his Mother of all people, at that.

He couldn’t help but to grasp the glass of wine in front of him to throw it back in one fell swoop. Reasoning his strong suit. Intoxication a quick way to survive any night.

To ignore pain and problems and any actual helpful advice.

Resorting to vapid lies and quick brush offs–unlike his family.

Lillie never missing the quiet chance to tell him that he let his soulmate go. His mother ever so persistent, rejecting anyone who even glanced at Gladion before he could even think about moving on.

They both really loved Moon.

Questioningly maybe more than he did–but that’s when the lies rolled in again. No matter how many days, weeks, or months pass not even he could believe he could ever get over her.

And that brings him back to the situation at hand. Sitting in front an empty chair, in an overly priced restaurant.

But soon there’s a faint clicking of heels on the marbled floor that catches his attention. A hostess leading with a smile, her arm gesturing towards him and his table. The blind date assignee standing there in their stead. His eyes flickering up, ready to be polite–to be cordial–to all too quickly admit he hasn’t moved on from his ex-girlfriend and would pay for her meal in exchange for them to never meet again–but instead his mouth goes agape.

The very person he was hung over standing in front of him as her familiar perfume of lavender and vanilla infiltrate his senses. Her hair had gotten longer, but it still framed her freckled cheeks; her widened gray eyes. Her mouth parting in shock as her hands tightly clasp the purse in her hands.

A bag he once gave her.

“Did your family put you up for this?”

Three Years and John | FAMILY | Lonashipping Week 2019

Summary: Where Moon and Gladion strike an uncanny deal and discuss baby names for their totally platonic and hypothetical future as parents. And it goes unsurprisingly well. Like it’s meant to be.

Wordcount: 2287

A/N: this was unashamedly inspired by a scene in friends and I was like I NEED THIS CUTE THINGY IDK WHY I like this prompt the best it turned out so nicely imo SOOOOO don’t arrest me this is ALL FLUFF (but bewareth. the moreth fluff. the more angst later)AHAHA have fun!! <3

—

The hospital is hauntingly empty at this hour. His steps are a murmur against the polished marble floor, resonating through the wide corridor he walks in. Gladion is but a presence in the vacant white place, not much different from Aether Paradise but so much more sanitized and too silent to his liking.

Gladion has never liked hospitals. Even when he was a kid and had to take his vaccines and any medicines necessary, hospitals always put a knot in his stomach. Too many doctors and too many possibilities for things to go wrong.

But as far as he knows, nothing has gone wrong tonight, and as he sees Moon at the end of the hallway, standing before the glass, he is relieved to know everything is fine.

She picks up the noise of his steps. “There you are. I thought you wouldn’t make it here tonight.”

Gladion’s steps come to a halt by her side. She turns again to look at the room behind the glass, all painted in white and blue. “Things got busy in Aether Paradise. I was in a meeting when Hau called me.”

She nods, for she believes him when he says that. As much as Gladion loves Lillie and he would have liked to be here for the birth of his niece, he had only been able to rush out of Aether an hour ago. So when he arrived at the hospital, he had been told Lillie was resting and that only a friend of hers remained– that friend being Moon, of course.

Her arms are closed and her back appears to be tense. She must be tired, he assumes. “Lillie knows you were busy. She will be happy to see you tomorrow.”

“I will still apologize. I’m not particularly happy about missing such a milestone in my sister’s life.”

.:Family:. Getting rushed to the hospital was some of the most stressful moments in his life, as well as hearing her moan in pain from the contractions, and while giving birth. It had never went up for him that he was going to be a father in a few months, but loved staying around her, watching her belly grow each day. A little boy came first, only for 10 minutes later for Luna to get new contractions, pushing out a little girl. The midwife was surprised and couldn’t shut up about how that was possible, because she was looking so small compared to others who had been carrying twins. Gladion’s mind went blank for a second when the nurses came back with the two, wrapped up on a burrito and handed them to her, each fitted with a cap in their designated genders color, in order to tell them apart without unwrapping them. Watching his Luna’s tear stained cheeks, he slowly found his way over to her side again, leaning down to get a better look at the two. The softest and warmest smile appeared on his lips, nuzzling into her forehead while keeping his eyes on the two little ones.
