[papamin au š ] say cheese! šø
hiii i love your writing for morpheus sm i literally died of fluffness omfg and i love rereading them tooš„ŗš«¶
id like to propose a song prompt with taylor swift and her song seven. i was listening to it and then the lines "love you to the moon and to Saturn, passed down like folk songs, the love lasts so long" really fits morpheus and wife reader. maybe the idea that they lived among humans at some point and then they got passed down like folk stories
do with it what you feel like i just really love your writing ahh <33
Aaaaaaah I love Taylor Swift songsš© You probably had fluff in mind but mine went straight to a Calliope-style angsty reunion (with a slight reference to Taylorās Death by a thousand cuts)
āI... I heard about what happened,ā you hesitate. āAre you...?ā
āIt is the past.ā
The haunted look in his eyes says otherwise, however. His hundred years of imprisonment may be over, but the past is still very much present in the room with you. You are more than familiar with the feeling - the moment you opened the door and found yourself face to face with Dream of the Endless, you felt as though the living memory of an age long gone had come to pay you a visit.
Now youāre standing with him in your small London apartment, still searching for words through the fog of a thousand different feelings rushing over you all at once.
āOh,ā you say when you fail to find them, arms crossed over your chest as if you are cold. Youāre not. Or, youāre not sure. The memory of his embrace comes tugging gently at your heart, as warm and safe as a soft blanket wrapped around you on a rainy day; but your mind remembers how it all came to an end as well, harsh words followed by a sudden absence that chilled you to the bone.
āI see you still prefer to live among humans,ā Dream remarks, glancing at the simple surroundings of your home. He is not judging, merely observing. After all, he used to share a second home in the Waking World with you, once.
āItās... quieter than it used to be. Few still believe in your kind and mine,ā you admit with a small, wistful smile at the memory of the times when they did. āBut some still remember the songs about us.ā
A great love, one for the ages, they once called it. And it felt so true, for a while.
Perhaps you shouldnāt have mentioned such a thing, you realize the moment the words leave your lips. You donāt know why heās here, but surely it isnāt to reminisce over what you once shared. That story is over, and the last thing you want is to revisit its pages.
Right...?
āSo do I.ā
His voice is so soft, it almost makes you shiver. You were so sure you would never hear him speak that way to you again... It takes you a moment to realize what it is heās saying.
The songs. He hasnāt forgotten.
āI have learned much in recent times,ā he confesses quietly, his frown deepening as he speaks, āand in light of that, I have come to realize... there were times in the past when I believed myself to be in the right, when in fact I was...ā
He takes the few steps separating you slowly, cautiously, eyes searching yours for any sign that he might be unwelcome in your proximity. But you simply stand there, holding your breath as he comes close enough that he isnāt touching you, but could if he wants to. If you want him to.
āWrong?ā you offer gently. Itās not a word that comes easily to him, but itās quite touching that heās willing to try it for the first time. Now that it has been said, the tension leaves him.
āI have wronged you,ā he admits freely. āWhen we parted... you did not deserve the words I spoke to you. I regret them.ā Heās silent for a moment. āI regret having parted from you at all.ā
At first, youāre so taken aback by his words, by how unlike him it is to apologize, you are utterly speechless. But then it settles in that he is here after all this time, and he is apologizing, telling you he wishes he had never left... and you have so much so say, you couldnāt possibly decide where to begin.
All you know is that you want to find out where it might lead.
āWould you like to stay for dinner?ā you gently break the stretching silence.
Relief softens Dreamās features then. He never eats in the Waking World, but he knows as well as you that it isnāt food you are offering. Itās precious time with you that he has lost over the centuries - and, perhaps, a second chance.
āIt would be my pleasure,ā he accepts whole-heartedly.
It seems there may yet be some truth to those songs, after all.

To start: talk about chaos.
I imagine the manager!reader as a 2nd year, as stated in my first one shot.
You look up to the third years, though the way you and Kuroo act you'd never admit it to his face.
Once you grow comfortable with the team, and vice versa, the two of you bicker like siblings.
Kai is who you gravitate to the most, he's so calm and quiet, you two grew closer faster because of this.
Yaku and Kuroo were both lowkey jealous; they both work on being doting upperclassmen in their own ways and now their manager is anxious around them? Heartbroken.
The first years think you hung the stars.
Lev is always trying to impress you with his moves, which more than often results in him missing a spike or getting hit in the face with what was supposed to be a receive.
Most of his failed attempts end with Yaku scolding him and you are torn between allowing him to shape his team and stepping in to play peacemaker.
Shibayama is the first team member to confide in you regarding any anxiety they had while playing; he compares himself to Yaku so much that it broke your heart, you two talked and you made him see he had made the team for a reason, and he left feeling much better.
Teshiro is more awkward or shy when approaching you, he may have been a first-year when you met him, but he knew the team hadn't had a manager in a long time. He was worried they might scare you off, specifically one of the... second years... But you stuck around! He liked to be around you, even if neither of you talked all the time, your presence was enjoyable. He also tended to be one of the only members (he and Kai) that didn't get scolded or yelled at.
Inuoka reminds you of a puppy, regardless of being on the team of "cats". He was actually the first member of the team to fully approach you, more than a simple introduction. He was so excited that you were their manager, it definitely helped you feel a lot more comfortable. Did you process everything he said to you? No. Was it endearing as hell? Yes.
If Kenma isn't sitting with Kuroo on bus rides he's sitting with you, you enjoy watching him playing his games, that or he enjoys the peace whenever you nap on the bus. Once he even let you play a game on his switch. Once.
Yamamoto is really excited to show you off at any and all practice matches they have. You're so supportive of them all that it makes him really emotional, and you've learned to just pat his head and walk away. You once showed up to an away game with your nails painted in your team colors and you watched that man genuinely weep.
Fukanaga loves to make you laugh whenever the team's quiet or having a more serious meeting. He learned your humor so fast it's dangerous. You can never be upset around him, he reads you like an open book, and whatever worry follows you around is quickly destroyed by him and his shining personality.
Like I said; you and Kuroo have a sibling like relationship once you're comfortable with the team. He leans his arm against your head like a headrest, you make fun of his attempts of sounding cool. The team finds it hilarious, and other than Yaku and Kenma, you're one of the few people he's terrified to piss off.
Kai is the upperclassman you look up to the most, he's calm and collected, smart and nice. He's everything you strive to be as a student and an upperclassman. He helps you study, he helped you learn about volleyball and all the info that comes with that when you first joined, he made sure to include you in any and all group hangouts when you were new.
Kai supremacy.
Yaku and you have, not to sound like I'm stuck in the 2020 fandom, but "parenting" personalities together. Yaku yells at Lev, you follow behind by telling Lev you two care about him and just want to see him get better! Yaku may worry when a teammate gets minorly injured, but you fret, despite knowing minor injuries occur in this sport. The time where you're on the same page exactly is whenever you take the opportunity to bully Kuroo.
He hates it.
I have to say: years ago when I first got into Haikyuu I made an OC for it, and she was Nekoma's manager. This entire thing is self-indulgent. If I was any good at art I'd have so many comic series with her. Sad.
Also I just saw the movie so I am hyperfocused on my boys.

LOCAL BOY ACCIDENTALY GETS MARRIED āØ
Let me explain: Imagine Kataraās necklace broke and nobody really knew how to fix it since itās not really made of rock or metal or anything the gaang can bend, but our boy Zuko fixes it along with some of Tophās help and some gold (yes, as in kintsugi*). Then he awkwardly gives it to her all like āsorry this is the best we could doā and Katara is all dumbfounded because technically this is a marriage proposal.
Ah, that moment when you have no idea of the cultural significance of what youāre doing.
For @zutaraweek day 5: Mend
.
Im gonna be honest, I didnāt had ANYTHING for today, but and idea. But it was kinda long and I didnāt wanted to try and make a comic in one day (considering I didnāt finish the one I had started for yesterday), and writing a fic is even harder. But I managed to do this! All in all Iām very happy with it :) Oh and some extra nonsense under the cut if I can manage to add it in this damned app

"FREDERICK BHAER AND JO ALL THE WAY I KNOW LAURIE IS IN HERE BUT ONLY BC THE SCENE IS LITERALLY JO LOOKING SO HAPPY OVER WATCHING A PERFORMANCE AND LAURIE IS GIVING HER THE LOOK OF LOVE. WHICH IS ANOTHER AESTHETIC KIND OF POINT THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE. the kind of both people are independent but lean on each other dynamic. like they could be by themselves (at least akaashi could) but wants to be with the other and the other person only. the kind of"i can do it" "i know you can but let me" dynamic. going to the gas station together at 3 am because one of them wants ice cream kind of aesthetic (totally not based off of when they were eating takeout together at his place). late nights and domesticity. yn and akaashi are the epitome of the quiet life people dream of, living in an apartment with their significant other. just them. that's their world. definitely dark academia like someone else said. definitely library dates. the couple that's helping the other study for their assignments or go to cafes together to work on homework (and one of them might end up pushing their homework aside just to look at the other person) i'm feeling fade into you and like real people do"
