anyone ELSE thinking about how each of mio and zoe's respective powers in each other's subconscious were a DIRECT physical counter to each other's darkness???? zoe with her magnetic field being able to PHYSICALLY throw dark!mio's projectiles back at her so that she would finally be destroyed. mio with her LITERAL power of light in the midst of zoe's subconscious that was completely RIDDLED with darkness and terror from all her guilt.
tell me they're in love without telling me they're in love why don't you hazelight, like. go on, i dare you
Dragon Zoe x Cyber Ninja Mio (2/?)
thank you @rreyy for this
Split Fiction wouldn't have even happened lmao - Mio would have just straight up shot Rader the instant he tried to manhandle her into the bubble
story girlfriends
Why is this so Zoe and Mio coded

I GOT MY AO3 INVITE!
Intrusion
There was something so inherently intrusive, about sharing someone's experiences.
Zoe felt completely out of her depth, running around alternating between her and Mio's stories. She tried to make the best of it, of course - joking when they had time to slow down and reminding herself that she wouldn't die whenever the simulator threw something fatal their way. Yet she could tell Mio felt exactly the same way - like she was intruding on something private, and that her presence wasn't appreciated.
Maybe it was true at the beginning. But as they ran through story after story - cyber ninjas, sand sharks, pigs, shapeshifters and exploding suns - Zoe found herself appreciating Mio's presence more and more. Where Zoe herself could get lost in her own misery, unable to process what was happening in front of her, Mio incessantly pushed ahead, heedless of embarrassment or self pity. Her blunt words and occasionally tactless comments, despite being aggravating, brought Zoe out of her head every time she started working up into a panic.
Close
Sharing a simulator with someone for hours... well, the concept of personal space pretty quickly becomes a foreign one. Especially when you're forced to confront your own subconscious, all your worst fears and emotions pulled out and put on display for the person sharing your mind.
Still, Zoe thought this was a little much.
They were in bed, although saying Mio was also in the bed was probably an overstatement. A more accurate descriptor would be that Mio was on Zoe.
Mio, Put The Frying Pan Down!
"You are NOT allowed in the kitchen! Put the frying pan down!"
Mio froze, slowly placing the pan back on the counter. She had the same wide-eyed stare as Void beside her, green and brown eyes never leaving Zoe's figure in the doorway.
"I just wanted pancakes?" She half said, half asked, reluctantly stepping away. "I can make them."
"You burnt salad." Zoe shook her head, shooing her away from her station. "You can't be trusted."
come a little closer to me
You're... Not A Centipede
It was... weird, picturing Zoe's parents as not a conjoined Centipede.
Ok that's a weird sentence but still. During their time in Zoe's subconscious, they'd spent a lot of time with the parent-ipede, and consequently, Mio had kind of formed an idea in her mind about Zoe's parents.
And attached it to the depiction she'd seen - you know. The centipede.
Oh she'd seen Zoe's parents since - in video calls. But there is nothing quite like landing in England and seeing Zoe throw herself into two people's arms and still catching yourself looking around for a double-headed fucking centipede.
Me tossing my silly lil fics and headcanons on a new Tumblr: Gotta get it out of my system
People: *actually liking it*
Pivot!
"Ok, ok, to the left a bit!"
"I'm stuck on a corner, Mio! I can't really rotate!"
"Hang on, lemme try and just..." Mio deposited the half of the couch she was wrangling, flicking her hair out of her face in irritation. Zoe did the same, her ponytail loose and face flushed. They were trying to lift the couch into their brand new flat, but... Well, staircases are a bitch.
Zoe huffed, tucking some loose strands of hair behind her ear. "I need a hair cut."
"You and me both." Mio blew her own hair out of her face, groaning when it fell right back over her eyes. "I'm gonna shave it."
Another chapter to the Mio "I hate puns" Hudson story.
Zoe and Mio Living Together Headcanons
- First, just for context for the rest of these headcanons, I will say they definitely did not get together immediately after the machine
- Girliepops speedran 6 months of emotional bonding they need some time to BREATHE
- That being said both of them are immediate fixtures in each others lives after that because neither of them really have anyone else
- Mio has her dad but he's in hospital and Zoe's family are in England so they naturally just gravitate to each other
- I headcanon Zoe moved to America not long before the whole Rader shebang to hope for better opportunities. I imagine that at the time of the Rader debacle she is living in a small apartment with 3 roommates who she doesn't know very well, and spends most of her time in her room alone. Mio, obviously having lived there for a while, has her own shitty 1 bed apartment, but it's hers and hers alone
- Anyway both of these girls are lonely and Zoe really wants to get out of the whole room share situation and Mio's like well I've not got a lot of space but you've been in my brain so we've definitely been closer
- So Mio manages to cram her desk into the living room and change the small office into a make shift bedroom and the girls are living together before the month is out
- Zoe sleeps on an air mattress for about two months and Mio feels bad about it and insists they swap beds every other day to avoid fucking up her back
- Zoe screams at the state of Mio's cupboards (girl is living on instant noodles and frozen pizza) and immediately goes to buy a bunch of stuff. They may be broke but Zoe can still make things like pasta and stir fries now they have two incomes. Mio will be eating a vegetable so help her god
- Neither of them can stick to a colour scheme. They keep finding cute decor and just buying it without thinking about the rest of the flat. When they get a house many years down the line the rooms have a loose theme but it's still mostly just chaos
- Mio has a nice squishy couch but prefers to lay on the floor. Similarly Zoe perches on the back of the couch like a heathen. The only time they sit normally on the couch is when their (limited unfortunately) friends come over
- Some of Rader's other victims asked to come over once to talk about what happened and both girls got so stressed that Mio locked herself in the bathroom for an hour panicking and Zoe stress-cleaned every room. Pretty on par for any visitors.
- Both had nightmares quite frequently after the Rader situation (duh). While they weren't quite bold enough to go crawling into each others beds they would still seek help. Every time Zoe insisted on having a 'sleepover' so they could be near each other.
- Speaking of sleepovers, Zoe once tried to have a proper 'girls night' with Mio. Unfortunately the face mask dropped on her lips and she licked it and proceeded to throw up. Kinda ruined the vibe.
- They still have 'girls night's though. Only Zoe's allowed to have a face mask though.
- Mio tries to get Zoe to watch horror films, then feels bad about Zoe hiding behind pillows for 30 mins and tries to change it. Zoe argues that she wants to see it through to the end. Both are too stubborn and then neither feel good at the end of it.
- They write on the same desk, whether it's their shared stories or separate stories. God forbid someone accidentally elbow the other because it'll end up in a pushing and shoving match with someone eventually getting wrestled under the other and bullied into submission.
- Zoe likes to tease Mio about being short by putting things up high. Mio is only a couple of centimetres shorter than Zoe but has shorter arms and consequently finds this extremely irritating. Zoe got her a step stool and Mio hid all her left socks for revenge.
- They have a wall calendar because neither of them can remember what they're meant to be doing. They then have alarms to remind them to put the stuff they need to do on the calendar because they forgot to do that as well.
- So. Many. Notebooks. Zoe refuses to do anything on a laptop and Mio's laptop is twenty years old and hanging on by spite alone. Entire bookshelves dedicated to notebooks.
