Could you please give me the fluffiest Saga/Athena redemption arc? I love your shameless writing so much! 😄❤️
Of course I can!
Or, well, I'll try.
Under the cut since it's shippy material
I don't have much experience with a redemption arc for Saga that's actually somewhat fluffy. I'm so used to just write him being guilty and miserable that I had a hard time with this :')
I also don't have experience with this pairing (it's one of my rarest ones, lol), so I tried my best at it.
Well, it doesn't matter. Let's see... I had different plans when I first started writing this, to make it less of a story, but my writer instinct kicked in. Maybe it's not even fluffy enough, sorry :( My brain took the Hades route and I couldn't stop it.

Athena cared about Saga, enough to hug him when he chose to end his life. Enough to shed tears for him, more than she shed for anyone else.
When he came back, wearing a Surplice instead of his gold, Athena didn't get fooled by his insistence that he was there as an enemy. She knew he was kind, that Saga didn't have a evil heart. She knew he deserved better, he deserved more, he deserved love.
And he received it.
His redemption, even if he didn't believe it, was already done. Athena had already forgiven him his misdeeds.
When Saga bent the knee, cosmo exploding around him, expanding more and more as the forbidden technique manifested, Athena knew she wouldn't raise her hand in punishment.
He was brought to her feet, broken, his eyes the only thing left truly alive of his body, yet she didn't break him down even more. Instead, she came closer to him, a fond smile curving her lips, and hugged him just like she did the day he gave his goodbye.
It was a time of war, and blood must be shed for it to be over, but Athena was happy to have seen him again. Was happy that he could see her, know that love was still able to touch him.
The gold dagger weighed in her hands, but soft lips brushed on Saga's forehead, giving him the blessing of a goddess who believed. She redeemed him without words, just gentle touches, even as she pressed the blade in his hands.
It was a gentle, soft love.
When Saga leaned into her, Athena hugged him close with a smile, petting his head with a gentleness that strayed from her definition of goddess of war.
His redemption didn't need more than that, for him to believe it.

Yeah, I don't...
I don't know. I'm not really satisfied with this? It's so weird to stray from my usual writing, I hope I didn't disappoint too much ;-;
So this is my first amv. I tried the best I could. I don’t know if it’s perfect what with the quality of the clips used and everything, but I did my best.
Story:
Shin, like any normal Snufkin, is a traveller. However, he often gets prejudged no matter where he goes and everyone disrespects him. Some people even try to reflect the sun off of a mirror into his face. Over time, he has learned to ignore the teasing. However, one night, someone came to his tent and smashed his guitar right in front of him, thinking that he’ll just shake it off like he normally did. That wasn’t the case, however, as Shin slowly spirals into depression. Deciding, he had enough, he finally decides to leave.
Fast forward to a few days, and Shin seems to catch the eye of another Snufkin that went by the name Kyun. Thinking that he should get to know the newcomer, Kyun decides to track him to his new campsite. He notices Shin’s broken guitar and Shin trying to fix it, which makes Kyun wonder how it became to be like that. Kyun sits down opposite Shin and tries to strike up a conversation with him. Shin, not wanting to be a victim again, stays silent, hoping the enthusiastic Snufkin would just go away.
The more Kyun talked, the more annoyed Shin became. He finally shouts at Kyun, telling him to go away. Kyun asks him why, only for Shin to tell him that he doesn’t want to be a victim or prejudgment again. Kyun suddenly gets where Shin is going and says that he understands what Shin has been through. Shin yells that Kyun didn’t know anything about him, but Kyun shocks him by saying “I know you were just like me, with someone disappointed in you”. Kyun briefly tells Shin about his history, saying that people used to hate him too, even got him arrested for something that he never did. With that said, Shin finally starts opening up to Kyun, finally trusting someone for the first time.
A few days later, Shin finally fixes his guitar and eventually, the two Snufkins became more than just good friends. And Shin couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be with than Kyun.
Snufkin belongs to the Moomins.
The images in the video were done by my friend Ju. I did ask for her permission to use her art before posting this video. Links to her main blog are HERE and her Snufkin blog (where I got the images from) are HERE. Please check her out because she is pure awesomeness at what she does.

5 Things That Make Me Happy
When people like, comment on or reblog ANYTHING I've created or made, whether that be gifs, edits, graphics or something I've written. It really makes me feel like things my brain and hands are capable of are actually appreciated
Silly, ridiculous conversations and comments that lead to helpless, child-like fits of hysterical laughter. The kind where you feel it in your abs.
Waking up to the sound of rain falling steadily against the roof and window.
A good, hot, sweet cup of tea when you've had a crappy day or just don't feel 100% yourself
Meeting up with old friends you perhaps haven't seen in years and picking up conversations and falling into routines like you only saw them yesterday.
I'm tagging theperfecthidingplace crazy-hair-forever theonewhosdeppobsessed fanarts-of-series and gatersgunnagate. Share the joy.
