Title: Thoughts & Prayers
Fandom: Dae Jang-Geum/Jewel in the Palace
Author:

luminious
Rating: G
Word Count: 732
Characters/Pairings: Lee Yeon-Seng, Seo Jang-Geum, King Jungrong, Choi Seom-Geum, Yoon Young-Ro, Choi Geum-Young
Warnings: None.
Summary:

The attendant and kitchen ladies who used to respectively work around and with her now sneer at and mock her, but Lady Lee pays them no mind, resuming her whispers of Jang-Geum’s name hundreds of times she’s never done for the ruler of her country, seeing her best friend in her dreams far more than seeing King Jungjong either indirectly or directly.

Jang-Geum, Lady Han, and Lady Jung have been damned; as the sole survivor of Lady Choi’s rampage, she will press her palms and knees together even if they bleed until her prayers finally cleanse them of the sins falsely administered to the first two, and the accelerated illness that hit her mentor.

Her injuries she will wear with pride, far more than the sparse hair ornaments and makeup within her chests and closets.

(Or, a look into one of the many moments said (and at a few points shown) that happened while Jang-Geum was on Jeju, aka that Yeon-Seng did daily prayers outside her neglected chambers not for the king to see her again but for Jang-Geum to return to the palace. Character and relationship study. For vocab_drabble Challenge #141: Quintessential.)

Title: The Sea Maiden
Fandom: Aoi Shiro (Visual Novel)
Author:

luminious
Rating: G
Word Count: 996
Characters/Pairings: Kohaku/Yasuhime
Warnings: None outside of the implication of ritual sacrifice in part IV.
Summary:

Kurou-sama is female, but she does not dress in accordance to nor act much like the ladies Oyasu grew up with, choosing to eat meat with her hands and use her long nails to sharpen her weapons and intimidate men who fancy Oyasu, rather than to sew clothing or to entice men like the girls of Oyasu’s village ready for marriage were taught.

“Do not call me Torahime-san,” Kurou-sama warns her—and sometimes still does—when they first become acquaintances.

Kohaku, for her single orb that turns barbarians into servants, or Kurou, for the color of the sky when she was most powerful, are the only names she answers to; she dawns them proudly with no care for the looks of those around her, and Oyasu can’t be any more enamored by such a unique way for another girl of age to be.

(Or, a pre-canon look into the days Yasuhime spent with Kohaku in ancient Japan.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Aoi Shiro, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.

( THE OCEAN THAT SURROUNDED THE SOUTHERN ISLANDS ARE MUCH HEALTHIER A SHADE OF BLUE—MUCH MORE FILLED WITH UNDISTURBED BOULDERS AND THE SIGHTINGS OF JUMPING WHALES AND LURKING SHARKS—OYASU NOTES IN HER MIND, AND IT IS ALMOST A SHINING FACTOR IN THE POSSIBLE DARKNESS THE REST OF HER DAYS ALIVE WILL BRING HER.... )

Title: Abekobe
Fandom: Akai Ito (Visual Novel)
Author:

luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 390
Characters/Pairings: Nozomi, Mikage
Warnings: Child abuse and suicide at the end, for anyone not comfortable with that.
Summary:

Sounds of laughter are nonexistent from either her or the few servants who are allowed to know of Nozomi's existence and attend to the most basic of needs, nor are the sightings of banquets and the welcoming of visitors.

There is only the mirror, and the room hidden like her, never allowed to be acknowledged nor one with the world.

(Or, a pre-canon look into Nozomi's life as a human, forever condemned in a hidden cell during the Heian Era.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Akai Ito, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.

( THERE IS NOTHING IN WHAT LITTLE SHE HAS HEARD—BUT NEVER SEEN—OF THE WORLD SO FOREIGN—SO OBSCURE MUCH LIKE HERSELF—THAT NOZOMI HATES MORE THAN HER REFLECTION... )

Title: You as Broken as I Triumphant
Fandom: It gets so lonely here (Visual Novel)
Author:

luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 400
Characters/Pairings: Protagonist/Witch.
Warnings: Toxic yuri, mentions of bullying and trash parents and mentions of previous deaths, for anyone not comfortable with that.
Summary:

“One death would be enough to finish most of your kind off, but you have endured six of them,” I told you moments prior to clutching your shivering, cold body like a child would a prized glass doll.

I will give you the ovation you are owed—

You are a determined girl.

Naive, yes, often biting off more than you can chew, but nevertheless a determined girl.

It is for that virtue that I will give you the cornucopia of amare you so, and of me I shall be the inamorata you revere, the golden cow of your prayers…

For no one loves you as much as I.

(Or, an extended take on the part of the visual novel where the witch attempts to psychologically break down the protagonist into giving up trying to change her fate to be by her side.)
Disclaimer: I do not own It gets so lonely here, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.

( I HOLD MY ARMS TIGHTLY AROUND YOUR STOMACH AND SIDES, THE HOOKED DRAPES OF MY BLACK SLEEVES PRESSED AGAINST YOUR DIRTY, WHITE UNIFORM SHIRT AND THE WAISTBAND OF YOUR TORN PLAID SKIRT AS WE STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST OF MY CREATION, YOU AS BROKEN AS I TRIUMPHANT... )

Title: Broken Throne, Cut Hair
Fandom: Fate Stay Night (Fate/Zero)
Author:

luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 964
Characters/Pairings: Lancer (Diarmuid Ua Duibhne), Grainne, Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, Sola-Ui Nuade-Re Sophia-Ri, Saber (Artoria Pendragon).
Warnings: Deals with cuckoldry, infidelity, and murder, for anyone not comfortable with that.
Summary:

In his last moments alive, Diarmuid hazily witnessed Fionn once again drop the water that could've saved him.

("Take me with you," Grainne once asked of Diarmuid with tears in her eyes, "I beg of you, my true love!".)

He should've known it was good to be true.

(Or, a short character study on Fate/Zero's take on Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, both regarding his past in Irish folklore and as a Servant in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Very Angsty with a sad ending.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Fate Stay Night, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.

( THE BEAUTY MARK UNDER DIARMUND’S RIGHT EYE WAS THE BANE OF HIS EXISTENCE FROM THE MOMENT HE HAD BEEN CURSED WITH IT BY A YOUNG WOMAN OF MAGIC; HE KNEW NOT WHY HIS ALLIES AND FOES ALIKE ENVIED HIM SO... )

Title: Ovidian
Fandom: Fate Stay Night (Fate Roue)
Author:

luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 732
Characters/Pairings: Rider (Medusa), Athena, Poseidon, Eurayle, Stheno, Matou Shinji, Matou Sakura, Emiya Shirou, and Saber (Artoria Pendragon).
Warnings: Deals with the aftermath of rape, victim-blaming, and a stopped attempted sexual assault, for anyone not comfortable with that.
Summary:

The Greek Gods and Goddesses are gods only in name, full of power but void of true mortals, and it isn’t to the surprise of Medusa if the same is true for Saber and whatever land she is from.

One woman of the sword condemned her to a punishment meant for her rapist.

She does not wish to see what another woman of the sword has to offer as a means of justice.

(Or, a mixture of Medusa's origin in the Fateverse and some of her other origins in Greek mythology, and how it would affect her in the Fate route.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Fate Stay Night, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.

( ATHENA IS A CHAMPION OF WOMEN IN NAME ONLY—THIS BECOMES CLEAR TO MEDUSA AS SOON AS THE GODDESS OF WISDOM IS INFORMED OF WHAT HER UNCLE POSEIDON DID... )

Title: Islander
Fandom: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Author:

luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 900 (300 Words per Numeral)
Characters/Pairings: Petra Macneary/Dorothea Arnault (DoroPetra)
Warnings: Descriptions of war casualties, colonization, and oppression of an island nation, for anyone not comfortable with that.
Summary:

Pale and clad with silver gear, strange weapons filled with magic not gifted from spirits or formed from shamanism but instead an unknown—ominous—source, their spells emitting sparks and essences that even amidst their different hues and colors manifest uncomfortably bleak...

Even with all the sharp knives and spears at their disposal and secret traps in case of an attack her country falls, corpses of men and women covered in dried blood almost the same shade as their intricate tribal markings, Petra's father among them, her mother alive but marred.

At the very least, Petra's grandfather survives without harm—

He screams out her name as strange men drag her into their gigantic, treasure-filled ship.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem: Three Houses, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.

( THE LANGUAGE OF BRIGID ROLLS OFF ONE'S TONGUE SWIFTLY AND IS DIRECT, BUT ALSO PERCEPTIVE—THAT'S WHY PETRA HAS ALWAYS SEEN IT AS A GREAT REPRESENTATION OF HER PEOPLE... )
