sneak peek of the love confession chapter of start again, my DISA fanfic

cuz you know i'm in a writer's traffic jam with 6 different document files open and working on each a bit at a time atm cuz my life is just as chaotic as my writing.

"Every time we’ve had to deal with some sort of challenge with your enemies, every time I’ve had to think up some crazy plan, every choice I’ve had to make, my choice has been the same. I chose you. I’m always going to choose you." 

Okay but just hear me out

the infinity spell mixed with a travelling wrestling event in woodside where the match bell is what resets everything. if anyone would like to add any type of calamity to happen during this i would love to hear it. so far i have a few ideas!

I fell for you in more ways than just down a hole, Gretta

Getting more of the love confession chapter done along with chapter 17. Ooft the feels with this one!

🌹

With Dwight’s back left unguarded, he made it easy for Chlodwig to come up from behind and suddenly sweep his legs out from under him. He fell backwards, a groan escaping as his back met the earth below him, making him drop his sword.

Thanks to @precariousrelic for the 🌹

“Chlodwig?” Dwight questioned surprised. “Hey man, what’s…up?”  

 “Not you, that is for certain. You seem to be slacking brother!”  

Sneak peek of chpt 17 of "start again", my DISA fanfic :)

He reached over haphazardly and grabbed a few of the fruity candy, looking at the colors before he ate them. “I think there’s something wrong with this bag of Skittles.”

“In what sense?”

“All I keep getting is grape, orange, and green apple.”

“Oh.” As she brought the book back up to hide her face, there was a sound of candy being shovelled into her mouth. She muttered, still chewing, “How peculiar.”

He took a quick glance down at the large open packet between them, only to find a jumble of purple, orange and green. Not a yellow or a red Skittle in sight.

“Gretta,” he started, turning his body towards her and propping his head up with his hand, “you wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?”

There was a long pause, “Not a clue.”

Raking his fingers through the Skittles, his hand brushed against Gretta’s who was blindly reaching out. The candy was for gotten about for just a moment as she ran her fingers gently along the top of his hand. Dwight knew what she was doing. It was both adorable and amusing, the way she was making an attempt at distracting him from the mystery of the missing flavors. Her face was still hidden with the book firmly planted in front of her. It was obvious she was hiding, knowing it wouldn’t take much for him to coax the truth out of her.

Dwight’s fingers gripped the top of her book and slowly pulled it down from her face. Dark, soft eyes with slightly raised eyebrows met hers. There wasn’t any hint of irritation, but with his lips turned up into a smile, sheer amusement was plastered across his face.

“Well, it’s either this bag is missing some flavors, or someone is eating all the strawberry and lemon ones.”

It was almost impossible to keep anything from him. His big brown eyes searched hers deeply, and his playfulness and smile were nothing short of infectious. Unable to hide behind her book, she admitted to her guilt with a giggle, “I cannot help it if strawberry and lemon are my favorites.”

“I can understand liking one flavor the most, but why lemon and strawberry?”

“Eating them together is the best. It reminds me of Lulu’s strawberry lemonade.” She extended her hand towards him, revealing some yellow and red Skittles she still had stashed away. “Here.”

“You sure?”

“Of course, I’ve had my fair share Sir Dwight. These ones are for you to savor.” She tipped the candy into his cupped hand. Flashing a smile at her, he popped them into his mouth. A small hum of delight was heard as he chewed.

Okay, So I really need to work more on the chapter i'm supposed to be getting out, but the inspiration to work and flush out more of the love confession chapter has really been kicking my butt. So here's some more of it flushed out:

"You would have left behind everything you knew. Your home, your friends, your family, for us." She hadn’t asked the question, but it hung unmistakably heavy in the air. Sage eyes, deep with wonder, with tears, begging to pool at the edges. 

Why choose that over a normal life?

He didn’t know if he could ever express how much she truly meant to him, how much she had irrevocably changed his life. Not only had he found a best friend and someone he cared deeply for, but through her, he also gained a family in the others.

And then, in an instant, it was all gone when Gretta and the rest of her family went through the scrying pool. The world forgot about them ever being there and continued around him. He was surrounded by other classmates and friends, but making his way through school and places around Woodside, all he found was a loneliness he never knew existed.

When he thought of the house they were in now being completely empty, he realized what that void in his chest he’d felt in Woodside High’s maintenance room really was. Because of them, his heart experienced so much and had become so full. And when they were gone, a part of that heart had broken away and disappeared with them.

There were no more magic spells, adventures, or even guy club meetings. There were no more opportunities for his romantic hopes with Gretta, to share a first real kiss, or to tell her the three words he wanted to until it was already too late. 

After feeling that loss, that heartbreak, that ache — he never wanted to go through that again. Not when she was brought back to him by some miracle, by fate, or both. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but how could anyone possibly understand what a distance of a thousand years could do?

"The only reason I needed was you.” He moved Gretta’s hand where he could put his hand in hers. “I didn’t care that it would’ve been before the champion spell. You already had me til’ the end.” His fingers glided between hers to interlock their fingers, caressing her hand with his thumb. “I knew what I was signing up for, whether that meant breaking the champion spell again, making up a crazy plan to stop some enemy of yours, or deciding what memories I kept. Whatever happened, I would’ve chosen you.” He gave out a heavy breath before his eyes met hers again. “I'm always going to choose you, Gretta." Leaning forward, he closed his eyes, pressing his forehead gently against hers. His heart quickened at the next three words to escape. "I love you." It was spoken closer to a whisper but the three words echoed in his chest, like Dwight had shouted them from a mountain top with his arms outstretched.

Time seemed to stand still, and so did Dwight. All it took was for his heart to momentarily take control and the words went out of him into the ether like someone had given him a truthberry. He felt her fingers pull while tangled with his, causing nothing but panic to start sinking in. Suddenly, her hand sat warmly against his cheek. The sensation was electric, grounding him in the moment moving in slow motion. Their breaths intermingled and their noses tenderly brushed against each other before their lips met, soft and tentative. A slow drag of kisses, savoring every tick of the large grandfather clock in the entranceway, unhurried and unapologetic. Small caresses with Gretta’s hand made their way down his neck and shoulder, finding harbor against his chest. He held her hand there, hoping she understood just how much his heart beat for her. She didn’t need to say it back, not this time. It was enough to ease the heavy weight in his chest every time he stopped himself thinking it was too soon, too fast. When they parted, Dwight opened his eyes and found a gentle warmth in the sparkling depths of hers. Her cheeks held a delicate blush, and a smile played upon her lips.

"Would you… like to see my chamber?" 

Dwight’s eyes widened and blinked, taken aback at the invitation. He quickly recovered with a quirked-up smile and nodded. “Sure, lead the way.” Her smile widened and instantly she was up on her feet, taking his hand to pull him up the stairs. 

“Gretta, are you sure this is okay?” Dwight asked looking around the upstairs hallway as they stood in front of the Princess’s closed bedroom door. 

“With all the times I have been in yours, I know I can trust you enough to allow you in mine, Sir Dwight.”

“I know. What I mean is, this isn’t breaking any rules, right? I don’t want Baldric and Hexala coming in and turning me into some vegetable.”

“If it’s any consolation, I believe you would look rather charming as a parsnip.”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better?” he asked bemused, as her door was opened and he was pulled into her room by the collar of his shirt.

Major ISAT spoilers below so SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL

havent seen anyone with this idea yet but

AU where Siffrin fills the role of Loop FOR Loopfrin during SASASA:P

Siffrin appearing in the form of Loop for Loopfrin after their successful attempt on the King. Right before Loopfrin cries out to the Universe

just

being there for them like they were for him, y'know

and yeah he's a few... thousand loops late but bETTER LATE THAN EVER HAHAHAHA

imagine how suspicious and then angry and then desperate Loopfrin would be about Siffrin. The "What are you??" "Why didn't you help me sooner?" "You're staying?" "Actually, I don't care" <- cares a lot

everything about this star person is a novelty for Loopfrin. They had a whole moment when Bonnie handed them a candy with a crinkly wrapper. imagine how off foot they'd get after coming back from a loop and this star person remembers.

Siffrin taking as many chances to casually touch Loopfrin. Arm slung around their shoulders. Booping their nose. Holding their face and reassuring that they're real. Hugging them- getting them feeling present in their body once more.

encouraging Loopfrin to stop using the knife

poking them in the right directions- PROVIDING THE SAME QUALITY OF LIFE MEASURES LOOP DID FOR HIM! Memories saved. Important locations indicated with magic. Level progress saved. Control over where they can loop back.

do you see??? do you understand?????

tl'dr: let siffrin be there for loopfrin i think it'd be cool
