Summer Time Render Is Duskwood AU! Well, At Least The MCs Are

Summer Time Render is Duskwood AU! Well, at least the MCs are

I don't know if I'm mixing my fan girl selves 'cause after reading so much Duskwood fanfic I watched Summertime Rendering but...

The first time I saw Ajiro Shinpei, my thoughts were "JAKE!!". And after definitely getting to know him a bit more, "DEFINITELY, JAKE!"

I can't help but feel like Shin is how Jake would be if he was younger, free and without whatever tragic backstory he has that made him extremely distant of others. But I guess it works without the latter as well, he was somehow distant at the beginning of the anime for reasons... <3 <3 <3

Jake

I fill out the form, telling all the buttons I pressed and the time we spent waiting in the elevator. I take a final look at the form– my handwriting is uneven, perfectly representing my clouded mind. As much as I trust Lucas, I can't shoot down the uneasiness. Amelia is someone I've known from my past and Lucas has only known me for over a year. I can't point it out but the person Amelia knew and the one Lucas knows right now might be completely different.

Not to mention but I'm the common link between them and there's no denying that their conversation would center around or at the very least involve me. And I want to be there when it does.

Therefore, I rush towards the working elevator, checking my phone while I wait to reach my floor. There are no messages from either of them. I desperately want to look up Alex but I don't have my burner phone on me and I can't risk it with my personal phone. I find this life too precious to lose over someone as less important as Alex.

I snap my head up when the elevator dings and the doors open. The corridor is empty, but well lit. I call Lucas and put the phone to my ear.

He picks up after the third ring. “Yes? How can I help you?” He asks in his filtered voice, hiding anything that he might be doing or feeling.

“You can help me by telling me where she is.” I reply back. Mine, Lucas' and Garrett 's, all of them have equal chances because it's Lucas.

“She as in? I know many she's, you know.”

“Lucas.” I warn.

“No fun. We are at my place. I'm making her soup.” He says and I relax. She hardly ate anything and she likes soup.

“I'll be there in ten minutes.” I start walking to my apartment.

“Still not done with the formalities?” He questions as if he already knows that I am done with it.

“She likes it spicy.” I tell him, ignoring his question which is an answer enough for him. And then I disconnect the call as I reach my apartment door.

I open it and close it. What am I going to say to her? I couldn't answer her question. And to be honest, I don't think I would have even if the elevator hadn't opened. She caught me off guard, like she has many times. But this time I truly have no clue. Everytime my heart tells me to say yes, my mind strikes with all the memories, the ones with her and the ones without. The bliss and the pain. History may repeat itself, it may not. And as much as I'd like to believe that this time there aren't going to be any problems like last time, I heed at the fact that that's exactly what I thought last time.

I sigh, my back against the door. I look around at my apartment, the incompleteness in it that I can never point out, only feel. But I never really cared about it but when I look at it now, I wonder what she thinks of it. I consider changing and rearranging the things just to make her notice them, to have her attention. And it's ridiculous, because after all the thinking I'm doing right now, she might just tell me that she was in a vulnerable state when she said it. My worst fear is that she might tell me to forget it when I will be standing there, ready to say yes.

Time. I remind myself, I need time.

My phone beeps, the light reflecting in the ceiling. It's a message. From her.

Amelia: *sent a photo*

It's a screenshot of a conversation between… Lilly and Jessica. How old is this? But that concern sweeps off when I read the conversation.

Jessy: What's going on between the hacker and Amelia?

Lilly: What do you mean?

Jessy: You know what I mean. He only talks to her, works with her, protects her and I'm damn sure that means he trusts her. Are they….?

Lilly: I don't think so, Jessy. I mean, Amelia is smart, though she might flirt with him for fun and Jake seems like the person who'd never let anyone in.

Jessy: Ah, that's kinda sad. They have chemistry, don't you think so?

Lilly: Jessy, I love your hopeless romantic heart but I don't think they'll go to the next stage ever.

It's old, very old. Just when I'm done reading it, another message from Amelia pops on the notification bar.

Amelia: Well… How did you like it?

I grin, that's the first message I sent her when I gave her access to Dan and Jessica's chat. My very first message to her. The beginning.

I can't help it when I reply this:

Jake: We proved them wrong.

Amelia's reply comes five seconds later.

Amelia: Wanna prove them wrong again?

She must have known it. She must have realized that I was unsure if she meant it in the elevator. This is her telling me that she did. She meant it.

Short but HEY!! ITS BACKK

I don't know how to fell about this. I felt so easy just diving right into Jake's mind. I love this Jake in evanescent, it has always come naturally to me to write his mindset. But let me know how you liked it?

Since it's been a long long time, I’d appreciate as many reblogs as possible so that this reaches the old readers.

I'd appreciate comments too!

Love y'all

;)

POV: MC trying to choose a nickname for Jake.

(Fluff)

Learning to draw anime Day 10.

It’s embarrassing but I’m quite happy with my progress. Still need to practice my lines and proportions a LOT. I was practicing with Mirajane at first but I had to reset my tablet and lost my progress. 😢 I thought she’d be easier to draw ‘cause of the lack of bangs… I chose this pose but I am not brave enough to do hands yet. Lol.

I’m glad I tried to do Lucy though - I was able to practice more curves.

I know I need more practice sketching but I’m excited to try out coloring next.

Good luck to me. 😅

A snippet from the 5th chapter of The Celestial Princess

I just finished writing it, but I'm only posting next week, so here's a treat:

It was a map. A detailed map of Fiore, full of strings and pins and notes, newspaper clips and photos. Natsu’s throat went dry. All this time, Lucy was keeping track of everyone… no, not everyone, he corrected himself, seeing the little yellow paper with his and Happy’s name and a red question mark on the center. The note seemed to taunt him, screaming where were you? He ripped out that yellow square, his hands aflame before he could think too much about it. It was a I’m here now and a I’m not leaving all at once.
