Finished a commission of Val Marrok for @hasishtardoneanythingwrong! It took a while but it’s finally here, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! Absolutely a 10/10 style, very comfy and very cool.

Penance

(I told you there would be consequences!)

Days after what would be known as Operation: Naptime, Faye arrived once more in Val’s Chaldea. The two chatted for a while, Faye remarking on her recent odd encounter while Val nodded along. Ishtar and Eresh had time to relax and catch up on what the other’s counterparts were doing, and Val’s Ereshkigal even made an appearance!

As the day continued, lunch quickly approached. The servants and their respective Masters made their way to the cafeteria. As bustling as always, the room was packed with servants. Each one demanding their own unique meal while others attempted to rein them in, all at the expense of Cat, Emiya, and Boudica.

Lunch continued without a hitch, that is, until Faye grabbed Val’s hand and brought her onto the stage. Confused, Val opened her mouth to speak as Faye called the room to attention.

Faye: Everyone! Everyone! Your attention please! Yes, you, look up here!

The roar of the cafeteria turned to a quiet murmur. It became so eerily quiet that Val could’ve sworn she heard a cricket.

Faye: Now that I’ve got your attention, I’d like to say something for you all! Recently. my friend Val here had been worried sick. She’d taken time and time again out of her day to make sure that I was rested and cared for! She even went as far as to pull a devious trick on me to get me to relax. Be honest, can you guys say that that’s pretty on brand for her?

A murmur of agreement washed over the room. Faye turned to look at the awestruck Val, her mouth hanging open as she realized she’d been discovered. Before she could defend herself, Faye spoke up once more.

Faye: Since she’s such a great friend, I wanted to take a moment and praise her. Thank her for being so tireless and caring! I’m sure you guys all agree! A round of applause for Val, everybody!

A raucous cheering and clapping filled the room as the lights dimmed and a spotlight shone on Val. Faye walked over, mischievous smile on her face as she raised her hand to Val. Flinching, Val quickly closed her eyes only to have another, far worse sensation come over her. Faye began to pat her head, ruffing her hair only slghtly while the cheering continued.

Val turned seven different shades of red in a very “I want to die of embarassment” mood as the praise continued. Faye leaned in close while giving the girl praise and spoke.

Faye: Payback. Da Vinci spilled the beans. Don’t worry, i punished her too. She’s grounded for a week with nothing to do. No electronics, no devices, no art, no nothing. She’s completely locked down. 

Faye pulled back, her hand stilled upon Val’s head.

Faye: I told you. I don’t need a nap.

The cheering continued for quite some time until Val finally fled the cafeteria. Faye calmed the crowd and finished her lunch before Ishtar came up to her.

Ishtar: She was only trying to help!

Faye: I know, but she locked Eresh and I in a room until we “slept together”. Luckily we literally took a nap and avoided the whole thing, but still. It was stressful on my Goddess. So, justifiably, I had to make things stressful for Val.

Faye continued her visit a little while longer before Mash sent her back home.

Don’t ever force Faye to take a nap.

Birthday Party

Faye walked through the halls of Chaldea covering Val’s eyes. She’d arrived not too long ago to hang out with her counterpart but found her down in the dumps. Val’s day had been crappy, there was no way around it. Lobo tore up the kitchen, Hans was crying in the library. Again. Jalter was nowhere to be found which meant it was only a matter of time before something or someone caught fire. All in all, a hundred things were going wrong.

Val: Faye I really don’t think this is the best time—

Faye stopped and uncovered Val’s eyes, spinning the girl around. She gave Val her very best puppy dog eyes as she spoke.

Faye: Please, Val? You said that you’d come with me, it’s important!

Val: Welk it’s just—

Faye: Val, you promised. I don’t get to stop by that often, so I want to make the most of it.

Val sighed. She had promised Faye that they’d hang out. Granted, she didn’t expect everything to implode when she came by, but hey. They’ll deal with some of the minor problems later.

Val: Fiiine. A promise is a promise. But why do you have to cover my eyes?

Faye spun Val around and re-covered her eyes as they began walking again.

Faye: It wouldn’t be a surprise if you could see it!

Val: Wait, surprise?

Faye: Oop. Uh, it wouldn’t be a surprise if I— I mean, if someone who’s totally not me said anything.

Val: Faye, you’re bad at this.

Faye: Shut up! I’m doing my best here.

Val sighed once more as Faye pouted behind her. The two continued their walk. The winding corridors, while familiar, were now foreign without her sight. Val was almost a little nervous, being blinded for so long. It wasn’t for another 10 minutes of walking that Faye finally stopped moving.

Faye: Alright, we’re here.

Val: Can you move your hands then?

Faye: Nope! That’d ruin the surprise! The door’s open just walk in!

Val’s internal monologue was screaming at the prospect. Something was gonna be terribly wrong, wasn’t it? Why else would Faye cover her eyes for so long? What if—

A bright light blinded the Master as Faye suddenly removed her hands. A loud cheering and popping was heard as Val tried to adjust.

???: SURPRISE!!!

Val blinked away the lights and confetti to see a large gathering in one of the meeting rooms. She was surrounded by her servants, most notably, all of her girlfriends, including Jeanne, who she’d been worried about tracking down all day.

In the center of the room sat a large cake. Written in icing on the top was “Happy Birthday, Val!”. As she was trying to process this, the birthday girl was overwhelmed as each of her girlfriends formed a queue to give her a quick smooch, leaving her head fuzzy.

Val, holding her face: How-What-I-Who?

Faye stepped beside her into Val’s field of view.

Faye: Well, I saw that you were having a bad day, and somebody mentioned that on top of that, it was your birthday!

Mordred: And if you had you’re way, you choose to skip over it like a dumbass.

Musashi: So Faye came up with an idea. We’d throw you a surprise party!

Ishtar: Of course, I helped guide her! She wouldn’t have known what to do without my masterful planning!

Jeanne: Your “masterful planning” included putting to work in the kitchen! How’s that make sense?

Mashu: Well Jeanne, your chocolate expertise was an essential part. We couldn’t have made the cake without your chocolates!

Val stood in awe as tears began to form.

Val: You- you all did all this….for me?

The Group: Of course!

Faye gave Val a side hug as her tears began to loose.

Faye: We did it because we care about you. And everyone deserves their own special day.

Mordred: So are we gonna eat this cake or what?

Mashu: Mordred! The protocols say that the guest of honor has to take the first piece!

Musashi: Leave it to me!

In a flurry Musashi cut the perfect slice of cake and handed it to the awestruck Val.

Faye: Eat up, Val. There’s presents afterwards too!

Val smiled as she took a bite of the bitter cake.

Perhaps today wasn’t so bad after all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @hasishtardoneanythingwrong !!!!

You’re a precious friend to me and I hope that your birthday is a special one. I wouldn’t be the same person I am without your presence in my life. You’ve helped me through many a rough patch and I’m forever thankful. I hope this story brings some light to your day!
