#kazuchro

[proud-memer]

I decided to start rewatching Vanguard G NEXT because I was feeling a bit nostalgic. And… y’all. I was not prepared for Chrono being this gay about Kazuma. Like, almost immediately.

As in, he had a cardfight with Kazuma one (1) time and Kazuma forfeited at the end. He then proceeds to start doing literally whatever he can just for a rematch. Why do you care this much about fighting him again (to the point of lowkey stalking mind you). Crush behavior.

something something kazuchro

[rouxboo]

by the power vested in you, i was guilty...

[snekblr]

Souyo, 13 & 14 from the pairing questions, please.

13. How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.

Write? 11/10

Draw uhh appearance wise somewhere 4-5(? I don’t think they’re particularly difficult to draw except for:

- yosuke’s hair

- yaso uniform

But that’s just me lacking practice haha

Content wise I think they’re pretty flexible in almost anything so I’m free to explore various concepts. Also I’m familiar w the series so I’ll say 2-3

14. Pairing that can rival to Souyo

what other pairing that I liked so much to the point where I created a blog to post their content hmm

HMM

I mean the problem here isn’t that I don’t have ships but it’s more like my ships are usually not approved by fandom so honestly I can’t create content w/o constantly worrying that I’ll receive backlash :^)

An acceptable ship that I can think of (tho I’ve never really created content for them before):

Kazuma x Chrono (Vanguard G)

A not so accurate tldr of Kazuchro is basically a story of Souji seeing Shadow Yosuke and does whatever he can to make Yosuke be a better person and overcome his shadow

Also helps yosuke try to get his ‘Saki’ (Kazuma’s bro) back

And yosuke is just so damn thankful for him when he’s initially the ungrateful, stubborn and angry person (character!!development!!)

they also have faith in each other when they battle and are there to console/celebrate on their battle results but overall never giving up on each other!!!

now that i ranted about them i should totally remind myself to draw this ship sometime

Can you hear me? - Chapter 1

A CFVGZ Introspection Fic

Characters: Shouji Kazuma, Gyze, Shindou Chrono

Pairings: Implied Shindou Chrono/Shouji Kazuma

AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/13878822/chapters/31930848

Hey.

Can you hear me?

Calling out to you, from the depths of my despair?

Hope.

Hope was what you gave me.

You showed it to me.

Past.

Future.

Present.

You taught me not to give up on any of it.

Even when I ran from the truth, you dragged me back to confront it.

Even when I ran from the past, you waited for me to come back, ready to step to the future.

I wanted to protect you.

I wanted to help you.

I wanted to return the favor.

But I drowned.

And now, I burned it.

Burned your future, burned your hope.

The little Dragwizard has fallen.

Your bonds with the Time Dragon broken.

And the power of your Messiah wanes.

So...

What will you do now, little Singularity?

Will you fall here, and abandon the future?

Or will you come, and face the despair I shall show you head on?

Will the world continue as it is?

Or will it fall to the silence of the Void?

Tell me, Singularity.

The Things He’s Given Me

I’m adding to the KazuChro angst party on AO3.

Trigger: Depression

Summary:  Just before Gyze takes over, Kazuma reflects on the things that Chrono has given to him.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

               All he wanted to do was pay Shindou back.

               How did it end up like this?

               He remembers it clearly, that dark feeling in the core of his being. He remembers it sucking the colour out of his life, leaving everything gray and uninteresting. He remembers the days where it ruled over him, the way it made everything seem like a waste of time unless there was some benefit.

               How boring his life was then.

               But what did he have to look forward to? His “friends” didn’t go to his school, his mother was at work, and his brother…

               His brother was far better than anything he would ever be and everyone knew it.

               Everyone knew it and no one cared if he did too.

               After all, what use was the second place when you had the first?

               So he was fine with how boring his life was. Really, he was.

Really.

               It was a miracle that he had decided to get over everything, really. A one in a million chance. He just wanted to remember what it had felt like to care and not feel so empty inside. Just one last look. So he opened that drawer, the one that he had closed away all those years ago. The one that had made him truly realize how utterly worthless he was in comparison to his brother.

               He walked faster to that cardshop than he had to anything in a long time.

               He remembers Shindou. Bright and happy Shindou. God he’d never met somebody so bright.

               He remembers fighting Shindou. He remembers smiling. He pauses.

               When was the last time he did that?

               He remembers having fun.

               But god, he’s looking at his cards and Shindou’s and knows immediately that he can’t measure up, god why did he ever think he could do this, and he tilts his head up and quits.

               Shindou’s face was certainly something.

               It’s true, he knows he can’t win and that’s terrifying, but mostly, he’s just scared of what he’s feeling.

                 They chase him down and ask him to join their team.

               It’s annoying, but he’s mostly just confused.

               Why are they trying so hard to befriend him?

               Him, who’s never good enough.

               He tries to cut them off and he can tell that Shindou is upset but it’s easier for him to part on his own terms than for them to kick him out when he inevitably disappoints them.

               Of course, Shindou gets kidnapped looking for him, and all he can think is it’s my fault, oh my god, it’s all my fault.

               UselessworthlesswasteofspacenotgoodenoughnotgoodenoughNOTGOODENOUGH

               He fights and wins and feels something warm blooming in his chest.

               Shindou believes in him.

               Shindou believes in him.

               He wants to cry with relief. Maybe he’s not as useless as he thought.

               HOPE.

               He fights on Team Striders and wins and loses.

               He wins and loses and isn’t immediately swept up into memories of worthlessness.

               He feels warm standing next to Shindou and Taiyou.

               God, he wants to bask in this warmth forever.

               FRIENDS.

               He fights his brother.

               And loses spectacularly.

               Why did he think he could do this?

The sick feeling in his chest is back.

               He hears Shindou talking about winning the U20, but there’s a thick fog in his head and he can’t bring himself to focus on what Shindou’s saying.

               So he leaves.

                 He fights his brot—Shiranui again.

               He loses, again.

               But it’s ok.

               Somehow, this time it’s ok.

               Maybe it’s because he knows that he fought as best as he could. Maybe it’s because he has Shindou and Taiyou at his back this time. Maybe it’s a million other things, but the only thing he can focus on is that he’s not alone and that’s something he takes comfort in.

                 Shindou wins, because of course he does. Shindou is strong and brought his brother back and he feels happier than he ever remembers.

               FAMILY.

               Kazumi instantly knows that he’s doing better than he ever has. He hasn’t had that sick feeling in his chest in a long time.

               He smiles and it feels real and genuine.

               He has so much to live for.

PEACE.

               The enemies are after Shindou. He thinks that maybe he can finally do something back for the boy who gave him everything. He’s just been taking and taking and taking and sometimes, in the darkest corners of his mind, he wonders when Shindou will get sick of him taking advantage like that.

               So he tries to be better.

               He tries to look for them when they disappear and he tries to protect him from the Apostles when they come looking for him.

               He fights Chaos Breaker to keep him away from Shindou and does pretty well. He feels good about this fight.

               And then the mark burns itself onto his hand.

               Suddenly this fight isn’t just about Shindou. It’s about him too.

               He wonders if his life is just a huge joke.

               PURPOSE.

The Star Gate Zeroth Dragon comes.

He uses his cards sparingly, guarding for the bare minimum, but it’s all he can do because he has to win this fight.

He can’t afford to lose here.

But Chaos Breaker pulls the trigger it needs and he loses the game and oh god, it’s not enough, why is he never enough?!

He doesn’t want to let Shindou down like this.

 He feels Gyze in his body. Black is seeping through his vision and into his soul. Everything is cracking and splintering at the edges and he desperately hangs on to the brittle hope that he’s learned to keep close to him.

Even if you steal my body, there’s no way you’ll never beat him, he vows to the deity taking his body. Right? That’s right, isn’t it, Chrono?

Help me, he screams silently, in the depths of his own mind, just as everything goes blessedly silent.

He feels tired all of a sudden, so he closes his eyes and sleeps.

SALVATION.
