    VERY CUTE build up of snippets involving Pomni slowly figuring out Jax and eventually coming together into a relationship. It's short, soft, slow, but a delicious little treat of a challenge!

    Summary

    The path becomes steeper as she ascends and she’s panting a little by the time a square wooden structure comes into view, nestled idyllically between trees and huge, likely ancient boulders (well…modeled to give the impression of being ancient). The mannequin that greets her at the front desk gives her bloodstained outfit a disdainful once-over before directing her to some showers.
    “Please wash thoroughly before visiting our onsen.”
    “Your…sorry, your what?” She should have asked Gangle to come.
    “The hot spring, jeez, Pomni.” Jax is suddenly there behind her again, and he makes her jump like he hasn’t since her first day at the Circus, leaving him snickering at her expense. “I thought you and Ribbons were close! Her feelings are gonna be so hurt when she learns you’ve been faking an interest in her anime trope tangents.”

    [In which the plan had been to make them bone in a hot spring, but I plonked them down in there and they just got to talking and bonding and being vulnerable with each other and it was so cute and soft and wholesome so I let them do what they wanted and they wanted to kiss at the end but not how you think.]

    “You’re that thrilled about getting to keep flirting with me?”

    “Look, I approached you, okay? I just don’t appreciate being doxxed by a Steam achievement!”

    Very nice funnybunny bonding in an onsen. Non-sexual nudity, speaking about vulnerabilities and cute flirting. Read as a nice little adventure, writing beautiful!

    Summary

    The familiar power of magic flowed through her, mingling with the blood in her veins and the blood that ran down her staff, but it felt different than any other time she'd used it. It felt too big for her body, barely contained inside her, like the sheer force of it could split her skin and explode out of her. It crackled through her bones like lightning and they strained under the pressure, moments from snapping.

    The air tasted burnt. Electric. The ancient words filled Marcille’s throat, choking, bursting out of her with such strength she wasn't even sure if it was her speaking them.

    Never, for even a fraction of a moment, did she regret it. Not even when she felt her mouth fill with blood and her ribs crack, not even when she collapsed face-first onto the concrete.

    Marcille,” Falin gasped, the first word she could manage. Her own voice sounded foreign to her ears. Wrong.

    A rewrite of Falin's resurrection by Marcille's hands, but both of them are damaged and feel inherently /wrong/ from the spell. Very gritty with charged romance.

    Summary

    “There’s a thing called ‘trust’ in this world. Trust is very important, both when it comes to work and in personal relations. It’s not uncommon for one to lose everything when they lose that. Get it, Tohru?”

    Tohru has been struggling with the concept of 'trust'. What does it mean to her? What does it mean to lose it?

    Could something as mundane as a tube of toothpaste really break Tohru's trust in Kobayashi?! (I promise it won't.)

    Episode-esque levels of ridiculousness but in a completely enjoyable way. Tohru doubts her trust over Kobayashi thanks to toothpaste - chaos ensues
