This is probably the only art I will do for this week, but I needed to draw something

Day 6 : Comfort

Sandy

I just don't have time to do anything else for Bumbleby Week but when I saw the first prompt I had to write a quick ficlet about the future leader of SREN.

“She’s so beautiful, Yang. Just like her Ma.” Blake said as she cooed down at our newest child. I was exhausted from labor but there is no way I could sleep, not with this little miracle sleeping in my arms.

She really was beautiful. Just as beautiful as her older sister, Rose but special in her own way. Her tiny cat ears covered in blonde fur, a darker shade than mine twitched a little at the sound of our voices. 

“So, I guess we need to give her a name, huh?” I said softly. “I have a thought but it’s kind of dumb.”

Blake took my hand. “I really doubt that. What’s your idea, love?”

I gently stroked my daughter’s tiny head. “Sandy.”

Blake smiled in amusement. “It’s cute, but why Sandy?”

I shrugged. “It just seems to suit her, especially with that hair of hers. It really doesn’t have any kind of deep meaning, unlike Rose.”

“Not everyone has to carry the burdens and expectations of family.” she said as she kissed our daughter’s head. “Not that we’ll do that to little Rose.”

“So, you like it?” I said, almost surprised at her agreement.

“I love it and look, she’s smiling. I think she loves it too!”

I felt a tear trickle down my cheek which Blake wiped away, just like always. “Sandy Xiao Long.” I said with pride. “You’re going to have the best life. I promise.”

A quick moodboard I made for Bumbleby Week 2024, Day 2.

The prompt was “Jock & Nerd AU.”

Bumbleby Week #3-Soulmate/Reincarnation

Finding your soulmate was rare. This was something that was drilled into the head of every child on Remnant. Finding your soulmate was rare, and that was okay. You could fall in love with someone who wasn’t your soulmate, and that love wouldn’t be any less real or meaningful or important. What mattered was the connection you built with other people. A soulmate just meant that you had a head start. 

Blake knew all of these things, and her time with Adam and the White Fang had driven any further thoughts of soulmates or love from her mind. That’s not what she cared about. What she cared about was fighting grimm, and making a better world, and then maybe she wouldn’t constantly feel like she’d wasted the opportunities given to her by her birth. 

It didn’t happen the first time she saw Yang. She thought Yang was hot, and being put on a team with her was exciting, but it wasn’t until Forever Fall that It happened.

She wasn’t sure how exactly they’d wound up touching–the heat of the moment, maybe, their bodies brushing against each other as they fought off yet another grimm–but it was in that moment of contact that Blake understood exactly what she’d been missing in her relationship with Adam. 

And clearly Yang felt it too. It was a good thing that they’d finished off that particular beowulf, or else they might have been so distracted that Ruby, or worse, Weiss, would need to rescue them. “Wait,” Yang said, though her lips weren’t moving. “You?” 

There wouldn’t be any more secrets. Blake’s cover was blown wide open, the soulmate bond revealing her thoughts to Yang, and Yang’s thoughts to her. But she didn’t mind. She couldn’t mind, not when she now understood with her whole heart that Yang would always stay by her side. 

“Me,” Blake said. “Wow.” 

They stared at each other, frozen. Finally, Yang broke the moment by closing the distance between them and pressing her lips against Blake’s. 

The kiss itself was almost chaste, but it held the promise of a future together. A future that Blake could now believe in.
