I imagine this is a bit of a surprise for you guys, but for the past few months I've been working on this animatic in collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail! This project was a lot of fun, hope you all enjoy it! :D
part of my 10 week celebration party for reaching 100 followers!*
just reader being completely oblivious to phainon’s raging crush on them and dismissing his personal feelings, unaware to what it all means truly.
everyone in okhema wholeheartedly believed that phainon was the oh so great and large deliverer, there was no doubt about it. but they also believed that as the great deliverer he greatly loved and acted with his whole soul, mind and body.
so why is it that such a fact, a belief - easily and significantly flew over your head, especially when you seemed to be the root cause of evidence that ‘scientifically’ supported the said belief.
multiple instances have demonstrated to the people of okhema and the chrysos heirs that phainon was utterly down bad for you, it was fully justified when you would hesitantly call for him, or request him of something.
the great deliverer would drop everything in order to be the first and only (as if someone else dared) person who was able to respond to you.
yet, through it all it seemed that you had decided that for all he does for you, it was purely a ‘friendly’ gesture and not at all an advance towards a more intimate relationship status with you.
‘these are for you!’
turning around from the fruit stall, you were met face to face with a massive bouquet of your favourite flowers with phainon hiding behind them.
shyly trying to hope that you wouldn’t register the massive blush he had coating his features, but of course you wouldn’t. you were too busy distracted by how large and beautiful the flowers were.
‘aww, phainon! you shouldn’t have-‘ feeling yourself get cut off by how he pushed the bouquet into your open arms. all while the large framed man was deduced to utter putty under your gaze.
scratching the back of his neck as he looked everywhere but at you and to ease his nerves. ‘it’s really nothing, don’t even worry about-‘
only for you to cut him off in the same manner, playing with a few petals as you thought about where you’d place the bouquet into your house.
‘i can’t belive you remembered it was best friends day!’
and as cringey as that sounded, nothing could have made phainon anticipate the way his face fell at the state of your smiling face and the words you just spoke.
you weren’t even looking at him when you said that!
and well okay, i guess sure, why not stare at the massive bouquet that your ‘best friend’ bright you to celebrate the forsaken ‘best friends day’?
of all the ways phainon thought this would have played out this was not one of them, like did you really blame him if he thought this was going to get him atleast a kiss on the cheek like the ones he had seen you giving a few kids yesterday when they brought you a stray flower.
a small peck if you were feeling squeamish at the thought of pda infront of everyone, but this…
clearing his throat with a cough to clear his head of the thought of just grabbing you and kissing you, the act was able to also capture your attention as you to turned to look at him.
he sighed apprehensively at the situation he had put himself into and had to accept with the way your innocent eyes stared into his.
‘yea… their for best friends day!’ gritting his teeth with the mention of the last phrase.
‘thank you phainon.’ saying it with a sing-song lilt to your voice, thinking that the conversation was over and with sending him a beaming smile, turning to continue with your errands with a massive bouquet on your shoulders.
unbeknownst to the general public’s feelings and phainon’s. with you out of sight from his vision and further from the dream he wishes he could turn into reality, phainon felt a heavy arm sling itself across the expanses of his large shoulders.
one that could only go par to par with him, turning to the side to see mydei’s all knowing face holding onto an indifferent expression as he stared at the sight of you several meters away from them, enjoying your day as usual and conversing with onlookers. calmly stating to him.
‘seems like your gesture was accepted on the wrong foot.’ calmly stating as if this was something he had expected and foreseen ‘cycles’ earlier.
which in turn only forced phainon to let out a defeated grunt and have him try to pry off mydei’s unsupportive arm away from where it rested in his shoulders.
this surprised the latter. mydei was familiar to phainon’s distinctive appearance and emotional reactions when it came to you… but this, this was different.
he rarely ever looked so - defeated. if that was the right term to place the way he saw him when he narrowed his eyes at how you seemed to walk in a different direction and where phainon had turned his back from you, he realised that this time it was more than fleeting disappointment phainon was feeling.
this must have felt like an utterly cruel rejection to end his advances, and mydei was none the wiser to try and get him to think that was the truth.
following suit behind him, he mirrored his earlier actions and wrapped his arm around his shoulders.
‘oh great deliver, what about a spar to ease your mind.’
and mydei knew him better than anyone else, for phainon’s melancholic expression had seemed to slightly shift towards pleasant surprise at the request of the prince of castrum kremnos.
‘i mean is it crazy to say that i thought she liked me back?’ staggering in his movements as he put more room into concentration over you, rather than the brooding man infront of him who kept on attacking at his weak defenses.
he wasn’t even trying and to mydei the spar that he had thought was meant to clear phainon of his thoughts of you, only left him at a capacity where he thought this was a let’s discuss name therapy session.
at some point, phainon deliberately plunged his great sword into the training grounds and leaned over it to continue his one sided conversation about the lack of progress he had when courting you.
‘like did you even know it was best friends day today?’ scoffing to himself as he looked at the bright sun. at this point more so speaking to the sky than mydei himself, leaving the rhetorical question up in the air.
which in turn got mydei to roll his eyes with a heavy sigh at his friend’s ministrations and walk out of the training grounds to leave phainon to his own thoughts.
it’s not like this was his area of expertise and he was sure that any point in time where he tried to interject and provide his opinions - phainon would only cut him off to provide his own perspectives towards his doubts and questions.
passing through the gates of the training grounds, he made swift notice of aglaea’s form entering into the vicinity of the training grounds.
sure that if there was one person who could help phainon wake up from this stupid unrequited love spell, it must have been her. unaware to the presence following behind aglaea as he thought about his own priorities and duties.
and to aglaea, from what she could ‘see’ under her thingy veiled gold threads, phainon was purely and utterly disheartened as he leaned his frame and sat on the ground using his sword as a support for his back.
quietly ruminating over the newest and profound rejection from you, so deep in thought that the great deliverer who was more aware of his surroundings on other days had yet to notice the romantic figure of aglaea moving towards him and a certain other party that was the reason for his heartache.
i mean can you really blame him if he thought that you’d get the hint by now?
first it was during one of the festivals in okhema that was meant to celebrate love and romance with aglaea at the forefront. he thought that him inviting you as his plus one was already a sure bet that he was professing his feelings in some way.
only for you to end up celebrating it with him and dismissing his feelings and your own as feelings of mutual respect and ‘friendship’.
and now that he remembers the whole friendship ideology between you two, he thinks the whole thing is just a social construct that makes it more difficult for you two to be together.
it’s not like he doesn’t value your ‘friendship’ with him, he just wishes that sometimes it wasn’t the root excuse that creates all of his rejections and becomes an obstacle to what could have been.
but then… maybe it wasn’t merely ‘friendship’ that stopped him from being with you.
maybe it was you.
you who probably saw all the signs but decided to ignore them and lay him down gently all these times under the guise of ‘friendship’.
you who probably didn’t reciprocate his feelings and felt like you couldn’t tell him.
you who probably must’ve have felt uncomfortable with each time he had the courage to speak up to you and channel his feelings of intimacy and love to you.
but what phainon couldn’t fathom at this point, even when you were simply right there behind him, wanting to act as a better support to his troubles than the great sword he was was leaning on could hardly do.
was that you were hopelessly and completely lovestruck to him, just as he was to you. you just assumed that his endless implicit confessions were plainly put - ‘friendly gestures’.
so slowly as he talked to himself and later noticed aglaea behind him, using her as his new ear to hear all the ridiculous things you had put him through.
as they conversed with infront of you, with his back facing the both of you and his mind unable to capture the sight of you. he went down the road of saying everything and all of it at once, thinking that you were probably never going to hear from him again after what had happened today.
‘aglaea, i’m no expert romancer but hardly anyone could have guessed that i’m in love with name.’
and with the latest confession it seemed that somewhere between the cycles, it seemed that fate was on phainon’s side for once. looking between the two chrysos heirs with aglaea being the one you looked at for actual confirmation to what you had just heard.
with her nodding to give you the go ahead that what you heard was in fact true. you were completely shocked at, but even more so to the fact that all the times you kept on acting oblivious to your own feelings, you had also been oblivious to his.
sighing to yourself at the whole ordeal with a faint smile, you looked over to aglaea who retracted her form to give the both of you some space at the new revelation.
phainon had quieted down now after his recent proclamation, and was lost in thought about how he was to try and get himself to forget about you and give up on this endless war of love.
albeit some part of his golden heart told him that he was to still cling onto the thing threads of fate.
crouching down to sit side by side to phainon who was still unaware to your presence, you sat on the same ground that he had been using as a companion for his mid-day admissions about you.
‘well maybe if you had said that from the first place i wouldn’t have looked so stupid.’
you finally quirked up with a bright smile gracing your features, as phainon was left speechless, turning to his side to see you sitting next to him.
embarrassed yet cautious to how you were reacting right now, he felt himself feeling a bit hot and bothered at how long you could have been here the whole time he was complaining about you.
either way though, as he assessed his surroundings and how you hadn’t yet fled for the gates of okhema after everything he said and instead were sitting next to him. then maybe, just maybe you also liked him back.
and it wasn’t until you decided to be bolder did he actually come to terms with the fact that he wasn’t just hallucinating or dreaming about you.
‘sooo, are you just going to stare at me the whole time?’ you mentioned, making him look towards you again with a confused expression.
‘…or finish your earlier conversation about wanting to kiss me?’
feeling yourself giggle at how he had quickly switched and captured the gravity of the situation, turning to grab your face and do just as what he had said before.
because as the great deliverer, isn’t it his role to deliver.

𝐓𝐖𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐁𝐈𝐄!𝐘𝐔𝐔 🌟🚀
Imagine twisted wonderland with a tribbie!yuu, how would the storyline and relationship go.
Where the north wind meets the sea
There's a river full of memory
Sleep, my darling, safe and sound
For in this river, all is found
Twst men x tribbie!yuu ( Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, Scarabia, Pomifiore, Ignihyde, Disamonia )
>> tribbie!yuu can be considered tribios!yuu, "they" are the address for the tribbie!yuus ( tribbie!yuu, trianne!yuu, trinnon!yuu) since they are fragments of tribios!yuu.
The tribbie!yuus referring to the trio of tribios!yuu fragment, I hope this makes sense because I was also confused on how to put this. 😅
Heartslabyul
A highly respective figure, carrying knowledge beyond the years as well as delivering messages and prophecy. Even though possessing three bodies formally thousands the trio of tribbie!yuu shared the same mind and sensation of one another. They are known as tribbie!yuu but can also be called tribios!yuu, even though sharing the same mind–the three bodies share distinct personality and purpose.
Ace and deuce would constantly make fun of tribbie!yuu size, and they would shut up when a staff walked by. Ace, deuce and grim would be taught by tribbie!yuu. Ace and deuce would often be confused by tribbie!yuu multiple bodies but one body– each fragment of tribios!yuu would be closed to one first year, while ace get along with trianne!yuu–deuce would get along with trinnon!yuu despite having one mind, they all have distinct personalities.
Cater would compare the tribbie!yuus to his unique magic, but instead it's a Permanent and tribios!yuu is forever split. Honestly, he enjoys the tribbie!yuus chaos. Cater finds their presence warm and upbeat, he also sees her as a mentor where he could trust as well as a reliable little sister. He finds it sad that her fate is becoming like this, but with tribbie!yuus personality hopefulness for a better tomorrow–cater would start to also hope for a better tomorrow.
Trey would greatly respect tribbie!yuu and would often refer to her in a dignified manner, he would enjoy the tribbies!yuus chaotic nature but sad because it can be a sign that they already used all of their power and might perish so he would often try to prevent situations that might cause it.
Riddle would absolutely respect tribbios!yuu and put them in high esteem but couldn't say the same thing for her fragments. tribbie!yuu, trianne!yuu and trinnon!yuu are chaotic he would often try to hold himself back from lecturing a person he greatly admired and respect. Even though, he despises disobedience–tribios!yuu choosing to disobey because humanity might be in danger is one where he questions his rigidness.
Savanaclaw
Tribbie!yuus position is a weird thing, one is a student, while one is a teacher and another one is a staff or work outside of the school. All three of them share different purposes, honestly it's weird seeing your class mate teaching a class while another one is sitting right beside you paying attention to themselves. Tribbie!yuu as a student while a trianne!yuu as a teacher while trinnon!yuu as a staff member or work outside, yet all of them put on the identity of tribios!yuu.
Jack would respect tribios!yuu and care for the tribbies!yuu, respecting their knowledge and wisdom seeing them as tribios!yuu. He would observe the tribbie!yuus to make sure they don't cause too much chaos, as well as helping them with tasks. He admired their determination and sense of justice, and care for others.
Ruggie would view them as strange and something beyond he's understanding, although he enjoys the pranks that trianne!yuu pulls as well as enjoy their spunkiness. Honestly, he views them as a person who's reliable as well as responsible.
Leona does not appreciate the explosions of the tribbie!yuus cause, it disturbs his slumber as well as hurting his ears. He would not say it out loud, but every time when tribbie!yuu have a command–he would allow it. Imagine him walking around, with tribbie!yuu trianne!yuu and trinnos!yuu on his shoulder telling him what to do and where to go. Honestly, it is such a heartwarming side to him–he would never treat tribbie!yuus as a kid despite their appearance because he knows that they are older than all of them as well as him holding great respect for them and tribios!yuu.
Octavinelle
People may still be confused by all these different body but one mind, in simple terms all of tribbie!yuus fragments share one mind and sensation yet with a distinct personality suited for their duty. The tribbie!yuus is more proficient at completing a task as well as freely travel anywhere at top speed without the worry of being late, imagine being an NRC student getting to class and a rocket just pass you carrying your classmate ace, deuce, and grim with a tribbie!yuu as the pilot–they were just getting to class.
Azul would be impressed on how efficient the tribbie!yuus are, also quite curious about the process of the fragment ritual–honestly he's been eyeing towards her coreflame. Azul would try to bribe the tribbies!yuus with sweets and candy but that always fails, he would have a hard time deceiving her or at some point it's hopeless to deceive tribbie!yuus because they would read the contract and point out the mistakes like a teacher correcting a student grammar.
Jade would respect them and have a cordial relationship, although he enjoys the chaos and is interested in how each fragment of tribios!yuu function like even though they all share the same mind, they all have distinct personalities or habits. Not to mention, tribbie!yuus carries centuries of knowledge and experience which is also another thing that jade is quite curious–imagine the tribbie!yuus using orynox spell to reverse a damage.
Floyd and tribbie!yuus would hang out a lot, it's like an older sister with a younger brother who got influence and become a chaos gremlin. Floyd would love to see the tribbie!yuus experiment and also want to partake in it, the rockets that they launch–imagine Floyd reaction towards them launching multiple rockets towards an overblot Azul, hes instantly entertained.
Scarabia
Tribbie!yuus can act as a guide as well as a mentor towards many people, their prophecy can be considered vague yet accurate. Yet they are mischievous, sometimes pulling pranks on many students and staff despite their highly respective reputation and position. Pulling harmless pranks to see students reactions, unfortunately many staff cannot do anything about it–ps, Crowley is often a victim of it.
Tribbie!yuu would often teach students on the topics they don't understand, and one of those students is kalim. He asks her personally to help him learn math, he under estimates on how strict tribbie!yuu is on their lessons. He would view the tribbie!yuus as a highly respected figure admiring their intelligence and bravery, he would often love to hear stories about the tales of the chrysos heirs on his free time from tribbie!yuu. He enjoys trianne!yuu spunkiness, while also trinnon!yuu intelligence. Them hoping for a better tomorrow, would be such an inspiration.
Jamil would respect tribios!yuus and the sacrifice she commits addressing her with the highest dignity, the same goes towards the tribbie!yuus despite them being fragments it doesn't one is less than another. Honestly, he is quite happy that kalim is preoccupied with tribbies!yuus lesson because he can relax now–as well as not worrying about Kalim's well being.
Pomifiore
It's pretty established that tribbie!yuus functions as a mail main towards NRC, delivering messages as well as giving students a slip of their own future and add some good fortune. Although this delivery can expand towards the entire sage island, because they don't need to worry about missing out the lessons and what happened since they shared the same mind and senses.
Vil would have casual tea times with the tribbie!yuus, he values their guidance as well as tales while tribbie!yuus value his stern and determination. Honestly he reminds them of a certain student of theirs, vil is the only person that can predict their movement as well as a person they can trust with dealing matters behind the scene.
Rook would absolutely be interested in their one mind yet three body, and he also became more obsessed when he learned that there used to be a thousand fragments of them. He loves to hear the tribbie!yuus interaction as well as hearing stories about tribios!yuu and the chrysos heirs, he would sing praises about her tale and what an inspiring hero she is as well as admiring her decision to rebel.
Epel would be caught off guard by the tribbie!yuus size and wondering why is their bunch of kids in a school like NRC, he becomes more confused when they all identify as tribios!yuu and as well as them being thousands of years old.
Ignihyde
Many students and staff would agree that the tribbie!yuus is a genius inventor, the ramshackle is often a victim of their experiments once in a while exploding. They would build devices that might be useful towards combat or day to day life–their craftsmanship can be considered on a divine level, this would serve as proof of the tribbie!yuus talent as well as creativity.
"She's nice" idia would honestly get along with trinnon!yuu more than tribbie!yuu and trianne!yuu. Both of them are shy and also sleepy, and idia would listen closely when trinnon!yuu is discussing prophecy. Idia would honestly relate towards tribios!yuu past of growing up isolated, as well as both of them losing their loved ones to accidents not to mention Respecting their inguinity.
Ortho would get along with the tribbie!yuus, he would usually tag along with the first years when he's not busy dealing with idia. He is quite curious about the technique they use as well as tales from amphoreus, it feels nice to finally have somebody he can talk to as well as understand him–he would compare tribbie!yuus towards a goddess from the island of woes myth.
Disamonia
With each fragment of tribbie!yuus they all share the same mind and sensation, so all of them feel what it's like to be stabbed as well as another fragment death. The first years is constantly worried about them overworking themselves to exhaustion, as the demi god of passage and messenger–they have taught many heroes throughout their lifetime and seeing their students pass away. When they are teleported towards the world of twisted wonderland, they would try their best to protect this peaceful world.
Oh malleus would hold tribbie!yuus with the highest esteem, seeing her as a person of sacrifice and legends. He admired her role as a mentor as well as a friend towards him, he doesn't understand humans but is meeting a person like tribbie!yuus makes him want to bow his head towards the pain and sacrifices she made for her people. He enjoys the presence of the tribbie!yuus it's like having 3 friends, he would not tolerate people disrespecting them and will not let their sacrifice to be thrown away.
Sebek would kneel towards tribbie!yuus, ABSOLUTELY RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FROM HIM. The way she would defy the divine to save people and others–the way she agreed to be split into thousands of fragments. She's a person who followed her duty for thousands of years even when met with disasters she would keep walking forward and hope for a better tomorrow.
Silver would also kneel towards tribbie!yuus or tribios!yuu, as well as admiring the heroism. From a person that defied fate becoming the messenger and goddess of passage, seeing her as a person of high dignity and respect. He would never look down upon them, or as well as doubt their capabilities.
Lilia would call the tribbie!yuus as "lady tribios" or simply "teacher" he would respect them as well as seeing them as a leader, friend and also a mentor. They have seen countless war and battle with the gods for humanity which is something lilia would respect and kneel to, instead of them being a ruler–they choose to be a guide. Lilia and tribbie!yuus would respect each other, and would hold tea parties where they would discuss history and time. "Did you regret it" he asked and tribbie!yuu would respond with a yes saying that she holds no regrets.
one less, a hundred more ꒱ mydei 'n fem reader ᰔ fluff ⊹ word count 0.2k
Sweat glistens on MYDEI’s exposed chest as he lowers himself down, muscles taut and rippling with every movement. You lie beneath him, grinning as you count each push-up, more specifically, each kiss he steals between reps.
“Twenty-six,” you murmur as his lips brush against yours again, rough but warm, carrying that rare gentleness he only shows to you. He chuckles, his breath fanning over your skin. “Counting kisses instead of push-ups? I see where your priorities are.”
You smirk, your fingers gently tracing the red markings across his body. “Can you blame me?”
Mydei dips down again, this time his lips press firmly against yours before he lifts himself back up, “Twenty-seven,” you whisper, the number barely leaving your mouth before he’s back for more.
The count continues, and every now and then, he pauses just enough to let you feel the warmth of his body, the weight of his devotion, and the love in his eyes before resuming.
“Fifty… fifty-one…”
By the time you reach ninety-nine, you sigh, and he doesn't like the look in your eyes. “Hmm… seems like we’re one short of a hundred.”
Mydei’s brows knit together, his warrior’s pride surfacing, not wanting to be damaged. “One short?”
You tilt your head innocently. “You know the rules, my love~ If it’s not a full set, you start over.”
He freezes for a second before he realizes what your plan has been all along. “You—” He can't be angry at you, but with a roll of his eyes, he lowers himself again, this time slower, knowing exactly what to do at times like this when you teased him. “If that’s how you want to play it… Then I better make sure you count properly this time.”
His lips capture yours once more, lingering just a little bit longer. “One,” you whisper, grinning against him as he smirks, and so, he starts again.
