also talking about robin made me think of an idol!mc yk wink wink
WINK WONK
AHHHH I KNOW IKNOWWINWIFNDJSFHDAKJSF
i actually thought of an au with vigil mc as an idol.
randomly being scouted when she's walking to the library to pick kazuha up- and she thought she was being signed up as a librarian or smth since she was scouted nearby. only to end up receiving an email at home after she gave her contacts and;
abcd: we are inviting you to audition to XYZ this tuesday at 13:00!
mc: :DDD ????
BONUS POINTS IS THAT SHE WENT WITH IT BCS THIS WAS AROUND THE TIME THE KAEDEHARA BUSINESS PLUMMETED HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
but let's be real, honestly, in my opinion?? the au that idol!mc would fit in would be in Fleur, yes. if some of you can recall, their family runs an entertainment company ;>
ps. i just remembered. when i played project sekai sometime ago, i see vigil!mc a lot in shizuku FPAFHAHAH
What if neuvillette (as an important firgure from another country) visited mc and wriothesley (neuvi's guard) met kazu? (I just wannna know the dynamic between all of them)
Orrrrr maybe they came alongside furina and her acting like how she acted with arlecchino
👑anon
OMG BETBETBETBEBTEBTBEBTET
I'll write a section for them!! this is amazing lol poor furina, we gonna have arlecchino.2 with this one yall
rei, i need some advice... i want to write about cyno but i literally am so bad at thinking of puns and dad jokes... i know the obvious solution is just to look some up but i'm lowkey too lazy. it also doesn’t help that i don't find most of his lines funny HXJSNXJSJNDNS. i'm sorry cyno. i love you but sometimes it's too much
- primo amon
oh gosh primo dear believe me when i say i get the hardest shuck thinking of appropriate puns with cyno too LMAO
one thing i tend to do is to use the situation/environment to key in the puns, or really search it up FHAKJFHADS then substitute necessary elements for things in teyvat PHFAHAHAH
ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I SAW A VIGIL ASK IN MY INBOX- no actually i think it's been long because i haven't been around to look 💀 as compensation [and lowkey art practice], here is a v!mc :DD
bonus short scenario utc, but we're setting it up in modern au now ;l)
[PS. i still have so many ideas for vigil and it's branching out to so many different aus help- let's bring back our charming mc and our protective kazu]
Kazuha had no qualms with the recurring trials in his life. Sudden facers and inexplicable misfortune were particulars that accompanied him in life's currents.
Even when his family's long-standing business met a sharp decline that left them almost destitute, he learned to adapt—and even when he had to leave private school to enroll as a scholar, he learned to adjust.
But if there's anything he's quite stalwart in grounding himself in with such stubbornness, it's the lovely presence of his older sister; Kaedehara [Name]. Transferring schools with her came with a new set of familiar faces, a new batch of people to admire her natural charisma, and—well...
“Hwaaa—oh my, this is a lot! My locker's full again- hm, I have to thank those kind enough to give me tons of chocolates... Kazuha, do you want some?”
An endless bout of admirers that chase after her day and night, no kidding!
“It's alright, I... have my fair share.” he mused as he opened his locker, letting a few—an understatement—boxes of roses and perfumed love letters tumble out to the floor. “This one's your favorite though, nee-san, here, take this.”
“Thanks, Kazu!”
His eye twitched as he saw more than a couple of students hiding behind the lockers and shoe shelves, waiting on their chances to declare that they were the ones who put the stuff in [Name]'s locker. It wasn't that he was entirely adverse to anyone courting his sibling, of course, she's the best! Rather, it took up so much of her time trying her best to let them down gently and even going so far as to comfort them that she rarely ever got the time for herself.
With their parents gone, and even if he was the younger sibling, he still had the responsibility of looking after her as his father told him.
So what was the buzz now?
Surely, it's because of the Spring Festival. It encouraged students to wear clothes other than their school uniform, it didn't matter what, as it was a time of cordial events, programs, games, and a fireworks show.
He and [Name] weren't keen on dressing up. As they were raised in a traditional household, they decided to take out their usual apparel from when their family was still wealthy.
He didn't expect the attention on [Name] to be this ridiculously big, though.
Was letting his sister visit his classroom a bad idea? He didn't think so, since she looked very happy fitting in the theme of their traditional cafe, serving visitors with a charming grin that had some falling to the floor with a lovestruck gaze.
He wished he was kidding, but he knew [Name] had that effect.
So what was his role? Well, he took to 'guarding' and 'welcoming' guests at the threshold of the classroom, a faux sword strapped to his obi.
“Thank you for your time,” he dipped his head in gratitude after waving off a pair of giggling girls that fussed over how the Kaedeharas fit the theme so well, one of them going as far as to blow him a kiss.
He smiled, half awkward and half flustered, waving as he fumbled with the guard of his sword.
“That's [Name], right? She's so pretty.”
His ears perked, but he didn't give them the time of day, playing oblivious as a group of boys passed his way, walking suspiciously slow, ducking their heads and peering through the windows.
“Hey, hey, I didn't know she looked this pretty. Hah, what about we...”
His brows furrowed.
Now, it wasn't as if he hadn't heard one or too many compliments about his older sister, he respected that. But when those whispers became a tad.. unprincipled, for a lack of a better word, he had to step in.
The group of boys was snickering, pushing each other around, and stalking closer to the entrance to the classroom. He leaned off the wall just as they were about to open the door.
“Heh, yeah, let's go and-”
“I'm afraid our tables are full, good sirs,” he quipped, cutting them off. “You may have to return a little while later.”
“Eh, no it's alright, we'll wait inside.”
He smiled. “That'd disrupt our servers, please leave and return at a later time.”
“Nah, we insist! We'd even help serve-” vermillion eyes snapped towards the hand that reached the sliding door, and he grasped the student's wrist with prompt attention, his smile tight.
“Leave.” his thumb pushed the guard of his sword from its scabbard, faux metal catching a bright scintilla from the sun, making them yelp. “Please.”
“Okay, okay! Geez..” with frowns and disappointed looks on their faces, they pull themselves away from the door and leave, hands in their pockets, nudging each other by the elbows.
Kazuha's shoulders sagged, breathing in relief. He heard a lot of things, not many were good good, but he managed. Filtering through them was a breeze, but not if it was against any of his friends or family.
The door opened behind him and [Name] popped out, looking bewildered. “I thought I heard some voices, did potential customers leave? We have a free table at the corner..”
Kazuha turned to her. He wouldn't interfere with his sister's social life throughout—he knew her classmate Ayato was interested—, but he wasn't going to have anyone with remotely dastardly intentions come close.
“Nee-san,” he smiled, “it's fine. They'll come back later. Is your shift done? You want to play, right? I think the games at the booths are open now.”
✧ commissions open
a/n: i said it before and i'll say it again, i miss vigil so much FHASDJFH also, i personally think kazuha's going to be a bit more protective around mc in modern settings. not a helicopter brother, but someone who probably just second-guesses everyone's intentions about mc.
Mercy, oh golly, I recall that tragic sibling fic. I do have plans to continue it, but I gotta admit that I forgot part of the plot I intended to write for it 💀✋ it's my fault im so disorganized JKFHASDF
I'm going to have to give it a read-over again to rattle my memories lmao. I know for sure that it's Xiao's perspective of things. If writing Rancor meant anything, it's that I love writing Xiao lol I'm gonna have a blast when I get the angsty writing groove going on again hehue
as for the ending, though.. will it be good or bad if i no longer remember how i'm supposed to end it? i'm a bit merciful now :DD
