Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Ghostshipping (Reiji Akaba/Yuri)

Propaganda: They're my favorite, I've made them my whole personality and I am (basically) the founder

Pairing 2: Asraishipping (Sayaka Sasayama /Selena)

Propaganda:  they're cute and pretty and i like the idea of Sayaka being drawn to the girl who looks like Ruri but came from the dimension that destroyed their world, and Selena wanting to make up for the way she even a small part of that and finding herself falling for Sayaka's kindness

Pairing 2: Chantshipping (Yuzu Hiiragi/Mieru Houchun)

Propaganda: It's funny to ship the girls closest to Yuya together

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will be carded.

There's ghosts left behind in Academia...better hope they don't find you.

Femslash February Day 18: Electric

Sayaka didn't expect her Duel Disk to malfunction in the middle of a duel, and she definitely didn't expect to be rescued by Ruri's lookalike.

Arc V Rare Pair Week Day 3: Ocean

“Hey,” she whispers to the still water.  “It’s me.  Don’t worry, I’m alone--I checked twice.”

For a moment, there’s no response.  Then the water burbles, and there’s a wisp of lavender breaching the surface of the dark black water, and her face appears, layered with a thin shin of ocean water.

She smiles at Selena, and Selena smiles back.

“I haven’t seen you in a while,” Sayaka says, pulling herself closer to the shore.  “Is everything okay?”  Her voice sounds wavering and watery, as though she’s speaking through the ocean, or as though the sounds aren’t made for her throat.

“Yeah, I just haven’t been able to get away as often.  Are you doing all right?”

Sayaka shows Selena her arms, to prove that there’s no more scarring from the fishing net.

“I’m much better,” she says.

Selena hugs her knee to her chest.

“You’ll be going home soon, right?” she whispers.

Sayaka’s smile falters.  She lowers herself into the water up to her chin, her tail cresting the waves for a moment.

“I can’t stay,” she says.  “The ocean is too salty.  I need to go back to fresher waters.”

Selena licks her lips.

“Well, that’s good,” she says, trying to sound tough about it.  “I wanted you to be able to make it back home.  I’m sure your family misses you.”

Sayaka nods.  For a moment, then, neither of them speak.

Then Sayaka carefully, lightly, puts her hand against Selena’s leg.  The touch burns with an icy fury, even through Selena’s pant leg, but she doesn’t shrug it away, just as she hadn’t shrugged away Sayaka’s flailing, panicked strikes while she was trapped in the fishing net, where her arms still bear permanent marks from the freezing ice of her skin.

“I’ll never forget you,” Sayaka whispers.

Selena tries to smile.

“I won’t forget you, either.”

Asraishipping

Asraishipping = Sayaka x Selena

Named so because an asrai is a type of fae that only appears at night to swim in moonlight and cannot live in sunlight, related to Sayaka’s fairy deck and Selena’s moonlight deck/theme.
