Wayhaven Route Questions!

Hello everyone! I’ve never done anything like this before, but I had this random idea, while I’m trying to get over writer’s block so I decided to go with it!

So, it is not secret that I love all of your detectives so much, and I love hearing about them, so I thought it would be some fun to do! For each “main route” (meaning A, F, M, and N) there are 15 Questions. Most relate to the romance route themselves, but there a few that can be asked to any detective, regardless of route. And, I do have 13 questions specifically for the LT, and 12 other more “friendship” route. (Though, those questions can be asked about any detective) 

I’m going to try to send questions and respond to as many as I can! Even if you’ve never said anything about your detectives before, feel free to play along to! I’d love to hear all about them! Just put your detective’s name and who they are romancing in the tags! :)

 And so just so you are aware, this all contains some massive Book 1, Book 2, and the first demo of Book 3 spoilers!

A-

1. What is your detective’s feelings on the month separation between Book 2 and Book 3?

2. At this point, does your detective feel as though their walls will eventually tear down in time, or have they given up that will ever happen?

3. What do you think drew your detective to A? Did they use flirt options with that first gaze in the detective’s office, or did their attraction come later?

4. Does your detective and A tend to butt heads, or do they seem to see eye to eye on things?

5. Saying that A has the carnival picture, how do you think your detective will react once they find out they have it?

6. If your detective heard Sanja’s prophecy for A, how would they feel about it?

7. What does your detective think of the glimpse into A’s past in the house of mirrors and their “guilty” judgment?

8. If the detective and A’s first kiss is full of denial afterwards, how would your detective react?

9. How does your detective feel about A breaking their stuff? (their desk, the plant, etc)

10. If on the Bobby route, did your detective and Bobby kiss? Unwanted or Wanted? How is your detective dealing with this? And how do you think A will react once they find out?

11. If on the Douglas route, what is your detective’s feelings on this? And how do you think A feels about this?

12. How do think A will react if you let Tina or Verda find out about the supernatural? How does your detective feel about them finding out?

13. Did your detective save A or Sanja? Why do you think they do so? And how are they feeling about the aftermath? (Sanja dying, A getting hurt, both being fine in the end)

14. If your detective did save Sanja, how do they feel about the famous “Tu Omnia”? If they saved A, how are they feeling about them saying that they are glad that they thought of them first? (But, of course, they say they mustn’t feel this way)

15. What is your detective’s relationship with Rebecca like? If they saw the conversation that she has with A before the end of Book 2, what would they think?

N-

1. Did N and your detective start a relationship in Book 2? Why or why not?

2. We have been told a little about N’s overprotectiveness. What are your detective’s feelings on it?

3. Is your detective aware at this point about N’s tendency to deflect? And if so, how do they feel about it? Do they want to push it slightly, or they hoping that N will come to them when they are ready to talk?

4. If the option is there in Book 3, will your detective and N participate in (physically)intimate scenes? Why or why not?

5. What is your detective’s and N’s dream date together?

6. If your detective heard Sanja’s prophecy for N, how would they feel about it?

7. What does your detective think of the glimpse into N’s past in the house of mirrors and their “not guilty” judgement?

8. How does your detective feel about N’s two tiers? Do they wish to ask them more about it?

9. How does your detective feel about N being more “human” then the others? Do they think they are holding on to something?

10. If on the Bobby route, did your detective and Bobby kiss? Unwanted or Wanted? How is your detective dealing with this? And how do you think N will react once they find out?

11. If on the Douglas route, what is your detective’s feelings on this? And how do you think N feels about this?

12. How do think N will react if you let Tina or Verda find out about the supernatural? How does your detective feel about them finding out?

13. Did your detective save N or Sanja? Why do you think they do so? And how are they feeling about the aftermath? (Sanja dying, N getting hurt, both being fine in the end) Do they regret their decision?

14. What do you think drew your detective to N? And when exactly was the moment, where it was “yes, I like them” (If they’ve admitted that to themselves, of course) And if not, what’s stopping them at this point?

15.  What is your detective’s relationship with Rebecca like? If they saw the conversation that she has with N before the end of Book 2, what would they think?

F-

1.  Did F and your detective start a relationship in Book 2? Why or why not?

2. We know F has not seen much of the human world. Is there anything that your detective would like to show or do with them that they had not experienced yet?

3. Would your detective have any desire to learn Echolian or learn more about the echo world? Why or why not?

4. If the option is there in book 3, will your detective and F participate in (physically) intimate scenes? Why or why not?

5. If your detective knew, how would they feel about F wanting to “chosen” and their fears of this all disappearing tomorrow?

6. If your detective heard Sanja’s prophecy for F, how would they feel about it?

7. What does your detective think of the glimpse of F’s past and their “guilty” judgment?

8. If your detective is the type to have pictures in their phone contacts, what kind of picture do they have for F?

9. If in a relationship with F, how is your detective settling into it? If not, is that something they would want now, or are they still unsure, and if so, why?

10. If on the Bobby route, did your detective and Bobby kiss? Unwanted or Wanted? How is your detective dealing with this? And how do you think F will react once they find out?

11. If on the Douglas route, what is your detective’s feelings on this? And how do you think F feels about this?

12. How do think F will react if you let Tina or Verda find out about the supernatural? How does your detective feel about them finding out?

13. Did your detective save F or Sanja? Why do you think they do so? And how are they feeling about the aftermath? (Sanja dying, F getting hurt, both being fine in the end) Do they regret their decision?

14. What do you think drew your detective to F? And when exactly was the moment, where it was “yes, I like them” (If they’ve admitted that to themselves, of course) And if not, what’s stopping them at this point?

15.  What is your detective’s relationship with Rebecca like? If they saw the conversation that she has with F before the end of Book 2, what would they think?

M-

1. At current, does your detective want more with their relationship with M?

2. Though this has not been mentioned in a bit, how do you think the detective’s reaction to M’s pheromones will come into play?

3. How does your detective personally feel about M’s pet name? And with it now being used unsarcastically in the Book 3 demo, has that changed?

4. How do you think your detective will react when learning that they calm M’s hypersenses?

5. Saying that M has the carnival picture, how do you think your detective will react once they find out they have it?

6. If your detective heard Sanja’s prophecy for M, how would they feel about it?

7. What does your detective think of the glimpse of M’s past and their “not guilty” judgment?

8. Personally, how do you think your detective will react when M admits they have deeper feelings for the detective?

9. How does your detective feel about M not remembering their past?

10. If on the Bobby route, did your detective and Bobby kiss? Unwanted or Wanted? How is your detective dealing with this? And how do you think M will react once they find out?

11. If on the Douglas route, what is your detective’s feelings on this? And how do you think M feels about this?

Roundabout part 2

Happy valentine's day!

Prompt from @wayhavenmonthly

Day 14: Valentines.

Rating : G

Words : 1195

Characters : Tina Poname, Lumine Booker (Detective) , Farah Hauville, Natalie Sewell

Pairing : Nat x Lumine

Notes : I will drop this self-indulge, and go. But, if you have any questions about my detectives or advice for me, please don't hesitate to chat.

“What~ I didn’t catch that. Lumine, can you repeat?”, Tina gives a wide grin as she asks for the third time. Gritting their teeth, Lumine glares at her.

“I need help.”, they grumble.

“For?”, she asks, leaning closer than before.

“Valentines”

A high- pitched squeal erupts from her as she twists and turns around. Her eyes sparkle at the thought of Lumine finally asking as she rambles, “Oh, I know. You should wear a suit and bring flowers and chocolates, or you can bring her on a dinner date too. You can play the piano, right? You can serenade her. It’ll be so perfect. You guys would be such a cute couple.”

“Ah, right. Very helpful advice, Tina...”, Lumine stands from their seat and nods, “Well then, I’ll go ask Verda instead.”

Before they could leave the room, she pulls them back, “I’m just kidding with you, Lumine.” As they plop back to their chair, she shoots a question," For starters, what does she like?".

Their face scrunches up in thought.

Nat is never the type to talk about herself. Dodging the question when presented. Always directing it back at them. A mystery yet-

“I-I’m not sure.”, Lumine stammers, “It’s hard to tell.”

" That's rare. You usually have a say on people. ", Tina comments. The station alarm rings. The night shift is starting.

“I need to go.”, they grab their coat and make their way to the entrance.

“Hey, Lumine”, she calls “We’ll figure it out. Don’t worry too much.”

“Ye... see you tomorrow.”, they mutter, still occupied by their thoughts. Walking out of the station, they’re pulled from their mind by a familiar voice.

“Good evening, Lumine.”, Nat smiles. These meetings become a regular occurrence, yet her words instantly bring a smile to their face. They walk side by side, slowly gravitating towards each other. Shoulders barely touching. Like puzzle pieces, Natural.

" Isn’t patrolling the same places boring to you?”, they ask as their eyes shift around the surroundings.

“The scenery is beautiful, but with you, everything around me is brought anew”, her smile grows, but dims with a pang of disappointment, “Unfortunately, I have been requested to be at the Facility.”

“For how long?” The words rush out their mouth.

Her brows furrow to think before she answers. “Likely, a week”

Then she wouldn’t be back till the night before Valentine. This makes planning easier, but a week is too long for her to be gone...

They shake away the errant thought before it escalates.

“Lumine?”, Nat questions, concerned.

They reply with a little tint of pink on their cheeks, “It’s nothing.”

“If you’re certain…” Luckily, she doesn’t probe them further. She clasps her hands together, and asks, “When I come back, would you care to go somewhere together?”

“Like a date?”, the thought makes their smile grow. “It depends on the workload. But I’d like to sometime.”

Her expression brightens, “I will look forward to it.”

Lumine glances up at Nat’s smile. Her gaze meets theirs. A kind warmth surrounds them. This rush so unusual thrums in their chest.

Barely noticing their arrival to the apartment, Lumine blinks out of the trance and steps away from her. They clear their throat, “This is my stop."

She grasps Lumine’s hand and slowly pulls it up to her lips. Planting a soft kiss on their fingers, Nat’s smile curves further to an unfair smirk, “Rest well, Lumine.”

Fully combusting to red, Lumine quickly retracts their hand and shoves it into their coat. “Y-you too, Nat. Well, I will go now. Good night.”, they stammer before closing the door. Unable to remove the grin on their face, they can guess that Nat is stifling her laughter outside.

Each day after the other yields nothing. Every single plan created by Tina doesn’t feel like what Nat would want to do. This only tangles them in their mind. Leaving the station, they are greeted by a bright grin.

“Heya!”, Farah pops out of nowhere. Lumine nods in reply as they start to walk towards the apartment. They concentrate on their problem, leaving her in unbearable silence. She purses her lips before figuring out what’s happening.

“You’re that deep for her, huh.”, Farah pipes up.

They release a weak laugh, “Is it that obvious that I’m thinking of her?”

Farah’s grin and shining eyes that clearly say yes. Slowly to a stop, Lumine frowns in thought as they lift their hand to their lips. The thoughts of her fill their head. Their heart flutters. They can’t run from this feeling, not anymore.  Lumine asks, “Got any advice for Valentines?”

“Just be yourself.”, she replies with a shrug, “Love shouldn’t be difficult, especially when Natkins is deep for you too. "

Lumine freezes for a moment as they whisper curse to themselves. A light chuckle escapes from them.

The answer is simple.

They release a sigh and settle to a bright grin, “Thanks, Farah!”

“No biggie! We’re family, after all.”, she gives a triumph smile strained with confusion.

As Lumine dash back to the station, they call out to her, “Come with me. I need to ask Tina for something. I’ll even treat you to some popcorn."

The day finally comes. Nat arrives at the warehouse and soaks in the comforting air. Being in the facility, she longs for home, for them. Knowing that they would be asleep, she strides to her room before pausing to a familiar beat.

The sound of them makes Nat smile. she listens out for where it comes from before arriving at the library. Opening the door, she peers into the room, “Lumine?”

“Right on time.”, they move from their seat while nodding towards the clock. Following their gaze, Nat spots the Oak grandfather clock as it chimes.

“Happy Valentines’ Day, Natalie”, they say as her eyes widen in surprise. Standing in front of her, Lumine gives Nat a black box with a red tulip pinned in front. “It’s 70% dark chocolate. It goes well with Earl Grey.”

They eye Nat for her reaction but is only met with silence. Lumine rubs their neck and excuses, “I don’t know if you’ll like it simple. Couldn’t think of another way to-”

Nat tugs them to an embrace. They stiffen for a moment before relaxing. Nat pulls away to gaze at theirs. She lightly brushes her hand on their cheek as she smiles, “It’s lovely, Lumine.”

Enjoying her touch, Lumine sighs. This closeness they have. Holding their gaze, Nat smirks and Lumine seem to notice.

“What’s wrong?”

“You never fail to be captivating.”, she says with a playful tone.

They scoff, “Flatterer.”

“J’adore ton sourire.”

“You know, changing the language won’t make a difference.”, they chuckle.

Letting out a light giggle, she leans in to whisper, “I apologize, but it seems like the words rush out before I could comprehend it. "

Growing red, they bury their head on her shoulder, as their goofy grin starts to form. The heat crawls up their cheeks. Their heart thunders out of their chest.

Everything is different around her.

They still have so much to know about her, but there is one thing they do know.

“Hey, Nat.”, they murmur on her shoulder.

“Hm?”

“I love you.”

Roundabout part 1

Prompt from @wayhavenmonthly

Day13:Friends

Rating: G

Words: 670

Characters :Tina Poname, Lumine Booker (Detective)

Notes:

My first time contributing to a fan community, so here goes nothing.

February nights are never their favorite. Winter thaws yet the breeze is as cold as ever. Shivering, Lumine tucks themselves further in their coat. They wish that they wore more layers, but they know that there were more pressing matters. Tina’s text is alarming. The last messages contain her gushing about a date, saying that it would be everything she would dream, but the next is drawn out with five words.

‘Lumine, please pick me up.’

All they can do is lean on the car and wait. Another gust of wind blows past them. They groan and grimace at the cold. Before they could grab a smoke, Lumine spots her at the corner of their eye.

“ ...Lumine”, she mutters. She wears a weak smile yet her puffed eye and messy makeup says everything. Without another word, they let her in as the car sputters back to life. Lumine glances to silently check on her as they drive away.

After a few moments, Tina sighs with a heavy breath and starts, “You know that feeling when you are sure that he was the one.” She lets out a weak laugh, “ Well, it didn’t work well.”

“This one was the longest I have been with someone, and today was our anniversary.”, she stares out the window while mulling over a thought.

“Somehow, I wonder if it’s because of me.” She wrings her finger together, “ Maybe I let my big mouth run too much and he got fed up. Or-”

Screech!

The car pauses to a halting stop.

“ Lumine, this isn’t my-”

Ignoring her, Lumine steps out of the car as they leave her alone. They don’t seem frustrated yet she can’t be sure. After a few minutes pass, they enter the car with a paper bag in hand.

“Don’t say those awful things about yourself ”, They say while giving her a stern look. Swinging the car door close, they pass the bag to Tina, “ Here.”

Giving them a quizzical look, she unfolds the bag to grab what’s inside. Tina pulls out a pint of ice cream and a spoon. She breaks to smile and tries to stifle a chuckle.

“Huh, what’s wrong?”, they ask.

“You know the weather’s freezing, right?”, she retorts. Lumine’s eyes widen, only remembering the temperature. They grow beet red as Tina hardly contains her laughter.

“I’m just joking with you, Lumine. Besides,” Tina settles to a rambunctious smile, as she teases while nudging their arm, “You care about me, don’t you~”

“Shut up and eat.”, they answer, still reeling from embarrassment.

With the lighter note, Lumine starts to drive. Only minutes ago, she was crying. Now, Tina turns up the radio, and belts lyrics while using the spoon as a mic. The whole situation is a mess, but Lumine can’t help but return a smile as they see her wide grin. For the rest of the ride, Tina tries to coax them to sing, only to entice a snicker from them and a warning that their stellar singing might crash the car.

Upon arriving, Lumine escorts her to the door. Tina, looking better than a while ago, hums tunes from the impromptu concert. Eyeing her with a squint, Lumine questions, “ Your payment?”

Giggling at the wording, she fully knows the arrangement made. Tina tackles and squeezes them tightly,“ Thank you, Lumine.”

She pulls back and stares at them, “ Wait, I just got an idea.”

The twinkling in her eyes sends a shiver down their spine, and the look of her smile doesn’t help.

She says slowly before patting Lumine’s shoulder, “ When you fall in love, let me help.”

“Impossible”, they respond forcefully, “You know, that doesn’t happen to me.”

While moving away, Tina shrugs her shoulder. She doesn’t look dejected to the idea. Forming a Cheshire cat grin, she answers as she disappears into the building, “You will never know~”

They scoff as the corner of their lip curves up at the thought.

Being in love, huh.

They shake their head and moves back to the car.

Impossible.

Hi! I wanted to try something new for myself. So, I thought of finally adding something to this lovely community. Here is my socially awkward A-romancing detective, Kip Griffith!

Note: I used this picrew and this template to help me.

[smalltowndetective]

Purity of Heart

Here is the 21st request! Hope you guys enjoy!

And thank you to @zyneryther for letting me use your detective! Hopefully I did Kip justice! :D

Ao3 Link (All requests can be found here!)

Title: Purity of Heart

Pairing: Ava and Kip (zyneryther’s detective)

Words: 1.2k

Notes: Ended up not using any prompt with this one, but I hope it all reads well anyway!

It could almost be considered ironic, what Ava was able to draw out of her, all without even trying.

               Kip had never been the best at trying to convey what was going on in her head, often second guessing herself, trying to form the exact right words that she needed to.

               And while that often failed, the overthinking often getting the better of her, that was not an issue around her.

               The thoughts were still there of course, but they were easier to ignore with Ava around. It was as her presence was almost comforting, even with as closed-off as she appeared to be.

               Perhaps that was silly, since it never seemed like she felt the same way about that then Kip did, but the longer and longer she knew her, it was just becoming more and obvious that there was much more to her then what most people would bother to look for.

Keep reading

Thank you for the Christmas gift, @smalltowndetective ! I really enjoyed the read. I always loved your writing style. You really captured how Kip act around people and around Ava. I can't thank you enough for doing this!
