(Completed!) The Letters That Move Us - Violet Evergarden x Amy Bartlett (Isabella York) FanFic

Summary: Violet Evergarden finds herself taking an unexpected assignment as a handmaiden for Miss Isabella York while she attends a prestigious women's academy. It's a far cry from Violet's typical work writing letters and made more complicated by the secrets they must keep.

55 Chapters / 120K words

This story is a re-imagining of the movie Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll. It explores what might happen if Violet walked a different path and eventually reciprocated Amy's feelings. The story will go beyond their time at the school and expand on the adversity they have to overcome if they want to be together.

Written in a way that is (hopefully) fandom blind friendly.

Notes: Before we start, I'm going to set the stage a little since the timeline (especially ages) can get a little ambiguous. So, I'm writing as if all the events of the season 1 anime to have happened already. Chapter one starts at the end of the final episode and then we are off into the movie.

I consider Violet and Amy to both be over the age of 18. While I don't plan on including any smut in this story, I feel more comfortable if that is established from the beginning when dealing with romance. That kind of content will be separated out into other pieces. I hope you enjoy!

a day for you means forever to me by Grollow

Fandom: RWBY Rating: T // No Archive Warnings Apply Ship: Ilia Amitola/Weiss Schnee Summary: Some days, Ilia thinks she’s being punished. This is her retribution for her past, for everything she’s done while in the White Fang. This is the consequences of her actions finally catching up to her; this is the universe forcing her to deal with all her wrongs until she finally gets something right in her life, and it won’t let her free otherwise. The problem is that she just doesn’t know what that right thing is yet. But other days, like today, as her mouth runs hot against the unearned heart of Weiss’ own after she said the correct words at the correct time in the correct place like she’s memorized and done countless of other times before, she finds herself thinking that her punishment really isn’t that bad. That this almost feels rewarding in a way — so long as she remembers all the correct things to do to get what she wants in each loop. Manipulation has always been easy for her. She has long since stopped feeling guilty about it. Or; Ilia is forced to go through the same day, over and over again. It comes with some pros and cons.

Whispers are the weapons of choice, allies are uncertain, and in the end, the consequences are just as fatal.

In this telling, Zelda and Link are not joined at the hip. A wedge has been driven between them, and it quickly grows to a chasm through fate and circumstance. Nevertheless, Zelda remains the Princess, Link is still the Legendary Hero, and their bond will bring them together even if they prefer it not.

Can they set aside their differences to save the home they both care about? Will they overcome their pain to find something more in each other? Or will they be swallowed by the space between them?

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.
