Chapter 7 - Feverdreams And Fireworks

New Chapter of ‘An Anthem to Time’ is out

Chapter 7 - Feverdreams and Fireworks

Summary: Neon Lights cast different shadows and bonds are build.

-> Read from the beginning: Prologue -> Check out the AATT Lore Post for more info on the AU

Sneakpeak below the cut:

When Daichi finally gets to settle down several hours later, he is exhausted, sweaty and frankly, he doesn’t know when he last had fun like this!

A few beers loosen up his tension and the music does the rest. He doesn’t even know anymore who dragged him to the dancefloor, but he is gratefulsomeone did. There was a lot of stuff he just had to… move away!

Now, however, his throat is dry and his head is starting to protest against the onslaught of loud music. He’s craving for the calm of the lounge and for a chance to sit down.

Suddenly thirty-three feels incredibly old!

It’s a Friday night and he feels like the place is getting more and more cramped by the minute.

Eventually, he manages to fight his way back into the fourth floor and lets out a relieved breath.

A quick glance into their corner tells him, that Yahaba, Watari and Saru have joined their merry round, then he is intercepted by Iwaizumi.

“Hey, you seen Tooru?”, the other asks him, big jugs of beer in both hands.

“I uh….”, and Daichi turns around, staring down the stairs he just came from. The only other people behind him are Bokuto and Kuro.

“What?”, the latter asks.

“You seen Oikawa?”, Daichi relays.

Both men turn around, look down behind them, mirroring Daichi perfectly. “Odd - could have sworn he was right behind us”, Kuro mumbles.

“Oh I think he got held up by some girls”, Bokuto thinks out loud.

“For fuck’s sake - The damn idiot!”, Iwaizumi grumbles out, then he pushes the beer at Daichi with an unnerved, “Hold this”, and stomps past them to rescue his husband from his fans - is what Daichi assumes.

Now that he has been tasked with the alcohol, Daichi strides with a little more purpose, then he set’s the jugs down on the table in the middle of the couch arrangement.

“Where’s Zumi going?”, Hanamaki asks.

“The knight has set out to rescue the princess”, Kuro poetically explains and a uniform “Aha”, runs through the entire group.

“Hey, where is the rest?”, their supreme bedhead proceeds to ask.

Instead of a verbal answer, Hanamaki simply takes a very long slurp out of a bright pink drink, that looks rather toxic to Daichi and points over to the bar.

The three of them turn to look and it knocks the wind out of Daichi’s sails in one swift blow.

Suga, Akaashi, Kenma, Yaku, the weird redhead and the barkeeper are all gathered where the counter forms a corner, hunched together, apparently having the conversation of their lives, with big grins painting their faces and when the redhead says something, Suga giggles into his hand and Akaashi looks as amused as Daichi may have ever seen him.

In between them, a tablet of shots is standing on the counter and while Akaashi is opening tiny umbrellas, Suga and Yaku are poking olives onto them before placing them in the alcohol. The redhead just sits there, occasionally snacking said olives, Kenma is still deep under in his phone and the barkeeper is preparing another tablet with shots, those ones weirdly reddish.

“The gateway to heaven”, Watari announces.

“More like: The Last Judgement”, Futakuchi corrects him.

“Ah, I know for a fact that three of the judges can be bribed with pop tarts!” , Kuro dismisses that.

Masterpost for my IwaOi centric Haikyu Royalty/Fantasy-AU fanfiction “All the King’s Blades”

-> Read on AO3 HERE

Up Next: Chapter 2 || Status: *I really, really swear I am working on it, okay >.<’’*

The man allowed his eyes to travel across the land unknown to him. The revival of a gifted dynasty, the awakening of an angel, the birth of a healthy demonic halfling and the rising whispers between the trees and the wind. So many centuries after his own kind had been hunted and banished from these lands - Magic was returning to Miyagi. And no one could foresee what would follow it

After their daring coup d'etat and ascending the throne of Aoba Johsai, Iwaizumi believes him and Oikawa deserve a little break. But the universe doesn't seem to be willing to grant them one. From Prince Tobio hitting puberty, a rapidly rising Karasuno and tensions in all of Miyagi, to owls and cats messing with them - and in between trying to stay alive and together, the past is catching up to them.

This fanfiction was inspired by @findingschmomo‘s amazing work “And All the Prince’s Men” and can be considered a continuation of their story, although by now I have fallen so in love with it, I created a whole ton of my own lore around the scenario they created. I highly advise reading their work first, so you know the character dynamic and also because it is freaking amazing, but I guess with a little bit of headwork you don’t necessarily have to.

Additional contents:

Map of Miyagi (+ Continental Lore)

High Council Chambers (Scenery Art) Ten Prayers (Landscape/Scenery Art)

Sanctum of Kings—Temple of Death (Suga + Karasuno lore) The Torch Carrier (more Suga)

Coats of Arms (+ Lore on individual Nations) - Karasuno & Aoba Johsai - Dateko & Shiratorizawa - Nekoma & Fukurodani

Character Designs (+ Lore on Characters and Mythology) - Oikawa & Iwaizumi - Suga & Daichi - Kageyama & Hinata

It’s Tokyo Time

It’s Tokyo time <.< 

-> AU Masterpost

-> Batch 1: Aoba Johsai & Karasuno -> Batch 2: Shiratorizawa & Dateko

More info below the cut:

Nekoma: - "We are the Blood - Connect, Flow & Flourish" - Two cats, third eye and jewel on red, white and black ground - Main Export: Fish, Agricultural Products, Jewelry - Struggling country on the Tokyo continent, although since joining the Fukurodani Alliance they have been steadily expanding and gaining in influence - not much is known about the country and its traditions - Nekoma has, as most nations in Tokyo a deep rooting connection to the arcane, but no specific religion - the most commonly recognized deity is the three eyes Goddess, who allegedly founded the royal family during the First Age, her creed is focussing on honesty and reliability

Fukurodani: - “Focus of the Mind and Heart” - Owl, crown and crossed swords on gold, black and white ground - Main Export: Crops, Wood, low-grade Ore (mostly zink, bronze and copper) - Central power of the Fukurodani Alliance and competitor for the most influential country own the Tokyo continent - Great military strength - Fukurodani too is very closely connected to the inhuman and supernatural, although they take a more political and less religious approach to interacting with the arcane - there are many pockets actively worshipping specific temples, the largest being the Church of Three Suns but even it is not influential or important enough to be considered having a large impact

Have a better quality version and the option to download it here: Nekoma & Fukurodani

Okay so, so far those are all - I have more ideas (specifically for Wakunan and Johzenji) but none of them will play a significant role in my continuation and are more minor mentions so idk if I’ll draw them too. (Let me know tough if you want to see them or any other teams/kingdoms - if you do I will probably do them)

Another Attempt At A Chibi (kinda, Since My Dumb Ass Didn't Check The File Size Before) Instead Of Writing

Another attempt at a chibi (kinda, since my dumb ass didn't check the file size before) instead of writing my papers 🥲. It's been almost 2 years since I last drew her and I think I'm really settling into the new design.

The peculiar case of Tadashi Yamaguchi

Fandom: Haikyuu (My contribution for the @hqurbanfantasybang) Type: Chaptered (3/3 - 40.1k words total) // Urban Fantasy AU ; University AU Focus: Unknown Species!Yamaguchi (Yamaguchi/Kuro/Bokuto friendship/support/mentorship) Ships: TsukiYama, BokuAka, KuroKen, IwaOi & DaiSuga; implied LevYaku, UshiTen, KageHina & MatsuHana Rating: Mature (descriptions of blood and injuries & explicit language)

Summary: Tadashi Yamaguchi has problems. As in: A lot. People can't stop reminding him that he smells tasty and they'd like to eat him. His best friend and he are indirectly responsible for burning down their previous university. He can't figure out how to stop turning orange whenever he's nervous, keeps hitting his antlers on the lintel and the lion's tail growing out his back seems to have developed a mind of its own. Oh, and of course there is that cute but grouchy med student vampire living across the hall who he is crushing on hard but doesn't have the courage to ask out! On top of everything he now has to transfer to a new uni and try to survive campus chaos. Luckily, a pixie with chronic bed-hair and a shapeshifter who transforms into a duck rather than an owl whenever he's upset, decide to take him on and teach Tadashi some confidence. Inbetween mysterious mentors, headless centaurs, annoyed dragons, hungry werewolves, kickboxing archangels, literal gods and sassy half-ghosts he isn't quite sure if they are actually helping his increasing anxiety attacks, but hey... it's the effort that counts, isn't it?

Read on Ao3 -> The peculiar case of Tadashi Yamaguchi

Preview:

“So, tomorrow is the big day, isn’t it?” Yachi asks and Tadashi takes a sip of tea.

There is nothing better than a witch’s homemade tea, even if the blonde’s speciality is time-based magic and not herbology.

“Yeah,” he nods and shudders.

“You got this!” she reassures him, but her own hands clench nervously around her cup as she goes on, “I mean Central is a big uni with lots of people - you can blend into the herd and nobody will notice you, that’s good, isn’t it? It has to be good!”

“I hope you are right,” Tadashi sighs. “I still wish I could have joined your uni” - ‘If only it wasn’t a damn expensive, super fancy, private one!’

The two of them met about a year ago, in the bathroom of another uni out of town. Both of them had been invited to an application interview and both of them had been so nervous they needed to throw up. Eventually, they bonded over rinsing their mouths at the uni-sex sinks. When Tadashi was in need of a place to live, Yachi volunteered to vouch for him with her landlord who owned several flats in this building, the one he is living in now included and since it’s one of the smallest it’s surprisingly affordable.

It’s not like his family is poor, they get by quite well, but Tadashi doesn’t want to be a financial burden on his mothers any more than he already is, since his tendency to attract trouble in combination with his non-existent self-confidence has gotten him either denied or fired from every job he’s had so far.

“Me too - then I wouldn’t be so alone in my design classes anymore,” she frowns into her cup. “But doesn’t Tsukishima-San goes to Central as well? Maybe you could stick to him and - oh”

From the look on his face, she must have deducted that plan already went down the drain - rather spectacularly if he might say so. Yachi is well aware of Tadashi’s crush on the blond vampire. He appreciates her attempts to help and her encouragements every time he gets flat out ignored in his attempts to organise something that could count as a date if you just squint hard enough!
