Rinrei Week 3 Day 3: Valentine’s - Separate/Together (SU AU)

When the night is quiet, Rei just likes looking up at the stars. He thinks of Homeworld, precisely three hundred sixty-nine light years away. He thinks of Blue Diamond, undoubtedly planning to shatter him and the Ruby whenever they returned to crush the rebellion. He thinks of everything he can remember on Homeworld - Blue Diamond’s meek timid blue pearl, the tall, towering obsidian towers of the observatory, the massive glass hall where the Diamonds held discussions. 

Shattered memories of a past life were best left behind, he concludes. Now he was on earth. 

 A soft voice calls out from behind him. “Fuse with me.” 

Rei blinks twice. He turns to look at at the Ruby - Rin, he corrects himself mentally -  staring at him, hand outstretched, his gem glowing faintly in the dark.

RinRei Week 3 Day 6: School - School/Club

My original ending had Rei completely stunned by the fact Rin would learn how to do a different sport for him, and Rin tries to explain to Rei that that’s exactly what Rei did for the swim team- and now suddenly Rei starts to see what he did differently and he’s just so confused that he starts crying, and they hug each other while smiling and laughing-

And Rei wanted to avoid all that! So he purposefully started ranting to distract himself from getting overwhelmed.

And Rin let him, because he knows that Rei never gets to talk about the sport that he dedicated a portion of his life to.

— This project was so much fun to plan/sketch out ≥u≤ I spent over 2-3 hours watching/studying pole vaulting! — I originally had the entire comic coloured, but I forgot to save frequently, and when my program crashed… well, I lost almost all of my determination to even re-finish this comic… — Yes, Rei is quoting Haruka.

Rinrei Week 3 Day 8: Free! @rinreiweek

Well, today is free, and I decided to use the nsfw for the first time so… YOLO. (pleasedontbemadatme:()  Endeed this was based on AHS: Hotel…a little bit. The song is called “Tear you apart” from She wants revenge

I really wanted to participate fully in the week, but homework and mental block would not let me, and I had no ideas to make. I feel sad :(

However, I have seen much good contributions to week and loved. Glad to see so many sisters RR. Anyway I hope you enjoy and have a nice week. ^^

RinRei Week 3 Day 1: Music ( Classical | Modern ) Title: Quatre Mains Part 1 rinreiweek AM I LA— I am obviously late, aren’t I? Shucks. I’ve become way too busy with school than I had anticipated but I’ll talk about that in a different post at a different time lol xD This particular AU was supposedly for RRW2′s “AU” prompt. But the prompt “Music” has been decided for RRW3 so I thought maybe this was the perfect chance to go for it. I finished the sketches the day before RRW3 started but yeah, school FML as always. Anyways, this is a long one! More like Part 1 (with a bit of 2) of 3 of the standalone oneshot version of this AU! The good stuff, well, not really good but more like, shippy-er stuff comes in Part 2, I guess. Part 2 along with 3 might come around late March or early April or at least after my finals. But don’t trust what I say. ^^;; At first I was thinking Rei would be the type to play really well but kinda monotonous and too much “according to the book”. But then I kinda remembered he was bad at music in canon like he is in swimming so I took advantage of that lol but I do think he’d be able to learn (at a fast rate) if he had a good coach! *coughs* Additional info about this AU, Rei might be hopeless at piano but he’s pretty good at playing the violin reflecting his pole vaulting abilities! The reason he started playing the piano was because of Haru’s music. Haru is still a prodigy/genius here lol Pretty much I thought about this AU contrasting everything in the swimming anime! Nothing really spectacular here but I hope this has kept your interest at least lol

RinRei Week 3 Day 8: Free!

Another AU! This time mermaid AU because it’s my favorite and I’m weak ;;;;

[kurumaicolor-deactivated2020011]

30 minutes left of RinRei week!! Scientist!Rei and Mermaid!Rin enjoooy~ 

Day 7: AU { fiction }

[clowderr]

@rinreiweek 3 | day seven : AU (fiction / reality)

haru tries to consult rei about a curious sighting, which he laughs at but …?

even though it’s short, and a cliché, and predictable, i really wanted to go all out on this comic (with colours and stuff), and still upload it while rinrei week is still going on, but i am too slow and it’s 2AM and this has got to do orz. i feel really saddened that i can’t contribute more while the week still on-going haha ;;

anyways, in spirit of the duality of the prompts provided this year, i really tried to include both prompts in my entries. so in this au, rei thinks that mermaids are fiction but he finds out later that they actually exist in reality 👀

Day 8 - Free!

“Just hold still.” Rei caught Rin’s arm in his grip and pressed the wet towel to his wound.

Rin roared in pain, pulling away as the whole castle trembled from the sound. “That hurts!”

“If you’d hold still, it wouldn’t hurt as much!” Rei cried, indignant.

Rin’s snout curled into a smug grin. “Well, if you hadn’t have run away, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“If you hadn’t frightened me, I wouldn’t have run away!” Rei cried.

Rin gaped at the boy. He was feisty, but Rin would not back down. “…Well, you shouldn’t have been in the west wing!” he replied.

“Well, you should learn to control your temper!” Rei crossed his arms over his chest and held his ground. 

Rin had been caught. The whole castle was well aware of the trouble Rin’s runaway temper constantly got them into. Rin snarled, but did not argue; he knew Rei was right. 

Rei grabbed the towel once more, hovering just above Rin’s wound. “Now hold still, this might sting a little.” He pressed the towel down over the gashes and blood marring Rin’s fur. Rin winced, snarling, but withstanding the pain.

Rei dabbed gently at the area, cleaning away the blood and dirt. “By the way, thank you,” he said quietly. “for saving my life.”

The pained expression on Rin’s face faded instantly, and he looked down at Rei with a softness that the other inhabitants of the castle had not seen in a long while. Rei met his gaze with an equally caring one of his own, and Rin felt his breath hitch. “You’re welcome.” he murmured.

RinRei Week 3 Day 7: AU/Crossover (Fiction)

‘Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well’

Based on that official art where everyone is dressed as classic film characters~

@rinreiweek, day 8, Free! day

I didn’t have a drawing ready for today, then my tablet decided to not work, but I just wanted to say that I hope everyone enjoyed rinrei week as much as I did! As always, I enjoy the challenge of drawing/writing out my wacky ideas, and I looove seeing everyone else’s interpretations of the prompts, too. Everyone is just so creative and funny and talented, we are the best part of fandom, no doubt. Thanks to the organizers for setting up this week, I’m only regretful I couldn’t finish more than one entry a day, or dedicate a piece to someone else.

You know, I’m serious when I say every single rinrei fan, active or no longer active, deserves lots of gifts. I wonder if there was any sort of fan event coming up soon that could continue the rinrei love for everyone??? 

Why yes there is! If you don’t mind me hijacking this post, please come join the rinrei gift exchange in March! It will be very low-stress and high-fun, I promise!

RinRei Week 3 - Priceless Reactions

AO3 link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/6058246  Day and prompt: It’s a mixture of Day 3 (Together) and Day 7 (Reality) Summary: Set in an alternate universe where Rin is a 1st year and Rei is a 3rd year! (I didn’t have much time but I wanted to contribute for these precious butterfly boys!)

“Senpai!”

When Rei looked up, he was nearly blinded by the flash of a camera. To make matters worse, the test tube he was holding in his hands slipped through and it was thanks to his impeccable reflexes that he saved both the precious liquid sloshing inside and the test tube itself.

He clicked his tongue disapprovingly, placing the test tube in the test tube rack and wiping his hands on the cloth hanging on the tap.

“Sorry,” Rin snickered, showing not even a single ounce of remorse on his face. He approached the 3rd-year in his spotless lab coat, looking every bit of the scientist he was destined to be, with his thick-rimmed red glasses perched atop his nose.

“I told you not to startle me like that when I’m in the lab, Rin…”

“But I can’t help it,” the redhead pouted, fingering the strap of his camera. “Your reactions are priceless.”

“My reactions are priceless alright,” Rei gestured to the test tubes, breaking out into a wry smile.

Rin whistled, a grin spreading across his face. “You’re not just stick-in-the-mud after all!”

“Is that what you thought of me all this time?” Rei stared at him, aghast.

“Maybe. Just a little,” Rin emphasized with the space between his thump and forefinger. Rei feigned hurt and turned his back on the incorrigible first-year, proceeding to clean up all the apparatus that he had used for his project.

“You always leave your back wide open!” Rin exclaimed as he slipped his arms around Rei’s waist, resting contentedly against his warm back.

“What are you doing?” Rei squeaked, flustered. “The lab is a common space! What if someone comes in and sees us?!”

“Well, if you’re talking about them, they don’t really mind,” Rin turned his head in the direction of the open door. Rei whipped around, Rin still clinging to his back, speechless at the sight of Nagisa, Makoto and Haru peering in, absolutely unrepentant.

“Hey!” he yelped, waving a stirring rod in their direction, “Have you all no shame? This isn’t the first time!”

“Aww, don’t be so shy Rei-chan!” Nagisa bounded in, followed by a sheepish Makoto and Haru (again, with his unreadable expression). We just wanted to see how Rin-chan was going to give you the-“

"Nagisa-senpai!”

“-ft!”

Rei blinked, utterly confused as to why Rin had interrupted Nagisa. He looked behind him, only to see Rin looking downwards, the tips of his ears a bright red.

“What is it, Rin?”

The younger boy refused to look at him in the eye, choosing to hide his face in Rei’s lab coat instead.

“Okay, let’s leave the two of them alone,” Makoto suggested gently, acting more like a third-year than Nagisa and he pushed the two out, closing the door behind him after giving Rei another apologetic look.

“I found this in my locker,” Rin murmured, his words muffled. “Along with your card.”

Rei pulled away from Rin to properly look him in the face, suddenly understanding what it was all about. Rin lifted up a purple bag, wrapped with a butterfly-shaped bow, holding it close to his chest, evidently flustered.

“I heard from Gou you don’t like sweet things so I tried to make it less sugary,” Rei laughed, abashed. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Rin.”

“’S not fair, Senpai,” Rin looked him in the eyes, his cheeks still flushed. “You’re always a little more withdrawn but when it comes to things like this, you can be so honest.”

“It’s because I love you,” Rei pulled Rin close, placing either hand on his cheeks. They gazed at each other, mesmerised by the multitude of emotions swirling in their eyes.

Rin grasped Rei’s hands and pressed a small package, emblazoned with gold letters that read “Happy Valentine’s Day, Rei-senpai!”

“Happy Valentine’s day, Senpai,” the redhead murmured, resting his forehead against Rei’s. “I love you very much.”

“I love you too, Rin.”

Rin pulled Rei in for a kiss, his lips brushing against Rei’s tantalizing ones when suddenly, they heard a muffled giggle. The lovers turned to the door, burning up in a mixture of rage and embarrassment to see Nagisa’s face squished against the see-through part of the door, his expression gleeful.

Rin grabbed Rei’s hand and pulled him out of the lab, a string of expletives escaping him.

“I hope y'all are already running!”

This is a PREVIEW of our photoshoot for RinRei Week 3! Since we just did the shoot yesterday, I wasn’t able to complete the photo comic set.. But due to Tako (Rin-San’s) hard work, we have these select pics for you to (hopefully) enjoy!

Let’s GO ALL OUT for the future, eh? Day 8: Crossover - Fiction | Reality → Future Fish SPY AU! Rin Matsuoka: Takoko Rei Ryugazaki: Kat Photographer: Elyuu Assist: Tori

Thanks for your support of this ship!! * v*//

[starsbegantofall]

Rin: What is this vision I see?  Have I finally died? Has a beautiful houri come to lead me to the gardens of paradise?

Rei: Your Highness! That was so irresponsible of you, wandering away from the others into the desert like that! Do you know how worried your mother and sister were? The Captain of the Guard sent a search party for you after the sandstorm subsided, but of course Yamazaki-san got lost, so we had to go search for him, too. You are very fortunate your horse headed toward the oasis and we thought to look there first… 

Rin: I was mistaken, it’s a harpy in hell nagging me for eternity…

@rinreiweek day 7, AU (reality/crossover)

There will not come a ship week when I do not misread or misunderstand at least 1 prompt, but this sort of works, and I was going to draw Splash Free! and rule 63 at the same time regardless. Yeah, I meant to do this. Yep. Anyway, I didn’t get to finish the rest of this scenario, but the end result was the same as the non rule 63, everyone skinny dipping.

4:46am

Ship: RinRei Rating: T? G? T? Or maybe G? Prompt: RinRei Week 3, Day 8: filling in previous prompts (not one, not two, but three! I decided to go out with a fucking bang, so we have Valentine’s Day: together, music: modern and tradition: new) Word count: 900+

Rin woke to the sound of music. Not the 1960s musical, but a faint drum beat rolling through the air, accompanied by a pleasant, subdued female voice perfectly hitting all the notes of the song.

I want every single piece of you I want your heaven and your oceans, too

He frowned at the alarm clock on the nightstand that said 4:46 am. With a groan Rin untangled himself from the blankets and slid off the bed, lightly shivering despite the heating in the apartment; his boxer briefs did little to stave of the unusually chilly February they’ve been having.

Barefoot, he followed the music to the kitchen and stopped in the doorway right when the song erupted into a chorus, the female artist (only now occurring to Rin’s groggy mind that it was Adele) unleashing her powerful voice and-
