Like Hey Hi what if we were friends or lovers or soulmates for literally thousands of years. What if we grew up and grew strong and grew together. What if we pledged our lives to protect our home together. What if I find my people, the ones I swore to protect, being tortured and I go a little off the rails (for pretty understandable reasons tbh). What if you stand against me in that moment? And you abandon me and help lock me away when you know freedom is something I long for. What if I emerge 8 years later (literally a drop of time in their story) and you've moved on and have surrounded yourself with humans. The Enemy. And they don't deserve to be your friends and they don't deserve to be your enemies. And I don't really want to be your enemy either, but you've chosen a side and so have I, and by god I am Going To Be Your Something. If I cannot be your best friend then I must be your greatest enemy.

What if the success of my plan involves your death, and the acquisition of your inner core, but somehow you always manage to emerge more or less unscathed. What if I corrupt your best friend. What if I do it because he's your best friend. Because I want someone to understand how lonely it is to love you. To be loved by you and then be abandoned. What if every time you pick them over me, there's a part of me screaming "I was your friend too! Where was this undying loyalty when I needed it?" ....and what if you plead with him to spare me. what if you find a way. what If I steal one of your friends from you and I kill another and I hurt you and you still save me. What if you cradle what is left of my soul in your hands and you take me home where it is safe. Where I can grow again. What if you are so unwilling to lose me entirely that you are willing to betray the people that I have hurt in saving me. What if you are ready to wait a hundred years so we can meet again, without blood or fire between us. What if I throw it all away. What if I take that hope and that life and that freedom that I've strived for and I throw it away to save you. Because you need help. Because I can help. Because what is the point? In gathering the strength to live again if you wont be there? What if I give the heart of my power to the man who stands beside you, shoulder to shoulder, where I was for a thousand years? What If I give whatever was left to me afterwards to you, because you've made yourself powerless and I cannot stand it. So I will give you the strength to survive this, and him the strength to protect you, and I will use my last breath to honor the oath that we made, when we were young, and strong, and together. Tell me: If I have been your friend, and your enemy, and your partner, If I have brought you grief, and joy, and devotion, If I have hurt you and been hurt by you, If I have saved you and been saved by you, If I have lived thousands of years by your side and in my death I have given the heart of me to the man you call your soulmate; Tell me: Is enough of you mine that I might rest easy, now?

questions for the ship ask!

2., 4., 5., 16., 19., 22.

obviously for HisaKiki and maybe Tariyuki or any other rare pair you like in AnS!

+ how about an all time favorite ship from any other media? ^^

Wow, such great questions o.o. I'll start with HisaKiki but you know how long I can ramble about them so I'm probably going to run out space for anyone else. We'll see!

2. Favorite thing about this ship? Hisame and Kiki get along super well with each other and also bring out new sides to each other... Because I love them both as characters, when they're together I feel like I can learn more about them both and it's a treat. Also they're both so pretty and dress well, I enjoy seeing them on screen together xD.

4. How do you see this ship? Examples: "totally married", "besties who date sometimes for fun", "toxic exes that definitely shouldn't be 10 feet near each other". For Kiki, it's something like "acquaintance I respect who turned out to be a surprisingly good match for me". I feel like she thought it was a smart match and now is constantly pleasantly surprised by new things she's discovering about Hisame, the way he is with her, and how well they get along. For Hisame it was more like "girl who I admired who I never thought would actually want to get together with me". He admired her from a distance because he never thought she was in his reach (that didn't stop him for wishing for it or shooting his shot though). I don't mean from a social standpoint since they have similar social status, but more in the sense that he thought she would go someone completely opposite to him (i.e. Mitsuhide). Even now, when he sees Kiki, he's kinda surprised that it worked out the way it did.

5. If this ship didn't meet in canon, how do you imagine they would have met? They'd have probably met even earlier since their fathers were in similar social circles! I think it was inevitable that their paths would cross due to being nobles of similar status.

16. If you have written fics for this ship, what is your favorite fic you have written for this ship? Don't write? Recommend a fic of this ship then! This is a super hard question since there was a time when I wrote a crazy amount for HisaKiki but here's one of my shorter favorites!

19. An ideal free day for them would look like? What are they doing on that day? I think they enjoy eating good food, reading books (next to each other), chatting over tea, and maybe sparring a bit (more for Kiki than Hisame). Basically similar to what we saw them doing during the special chapter!

22. What would be some pet names they would give each other? Hisame seems like the type to call Kiki various petnames like darling, love, whatever suits the situation. Kiki... well, she would probably not really think of it herself, but if Hisame playfully suggests it, she'll probably say it suddenly and catch Hisame off guard, lol. She's sneaky like that.

Same questions for TariYuki

And yep, would you look at that, I already wrote an essay for HisaKiki, lol. I will keep my comments for TariYuki short. What I like about them is that whenever they appear in the same scene together, there's a certain pull between them - both are curious about the other and both have similar temperaments (calm, thoughtful, not quick to act on emotion, fiercely independent and tries to solve problems themselves). I've thought this since Chapter 109, but look, now that in they're in the same arc together, they're already shaping to be good friends / allies. If Shirayuki weren't already in a relationship, they definitely would have had the potential to be something more!

I see their potential relationship (in an AU of course) as like mutual admiration turning to a crush into something more. But I don't see either of them really acting on it, so they would definitely need a wingman (Tsuruba, perhaps? or Zen?)

All-time fave

Also, super good question on all time favorite couple, but it's made challenging by the fact that HisaKiki is my OTP, haha. I have never felt as strongly about a couple as these two. Let me share a recent fav though, it's from an otome game called Radiant Tale.

These two: Liyan and Tifalia changed my brain chemistry. What's criminal is that Liyan wasn't a love interest in the original game, but people loved him so much, the creators gave him a route in the second game, haha.

Why is it so good? It's because Liyan has been flirting with Tifalia for years, which made her think he was a womanizer. But actually he was super loyal and Tifalia was the only one he flirted with the whole time. Everyone knew this...except Tifalia herself. And as the player, because you play as Tifalia and see her thoughts... you also can make the same assumption as Tifalia (although there's very good foreshadowing as to the truth).

Anyway, this route is my comfort route, because I can play it again and again and still love it so much every time. Also, their matching braids are so cute...
