    Summary

    Back to square one, Ena thinks bitterly. She truly has not missed the times when Mizuki would act like a skittish animal around whom Ena had to walk on eggshells in fear it would bolt, never to be seen again. This isn’t the same, not really, but it’s close enough to make Ena uncomfortable. To be fair to Mizuki, she had warned Ena, that time in the alley. She had said something along the lines of, “I might get scared again, so what’s the point?”
    Well, Ena had been willing to cross that bridge once they came to it, and now here they are. And Ena isn’t letting go. If Mizuki’s scared, Ena will slay her monsters. If Mizuki wants to run, Ena will chase her.
    She nods to herself, and picks up her phone.

    (or: how I just wanted to write a little spicy fic for my tumblr moots and followers and ended up with a 30k+ character analysis full of fluff and light angst and only incidentally smutty. ack. send help)

    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Summary

    You would appear in his windowsill and he would be so happy – or maybe he would wake you up first, and you would cry and jump up and down because the Heir is awake, and you have so much to explore! You’d watch the eclipse, dazzled, as Skaialight flitted across cumulonimbi. And John would come to know all of your Prospitian friends, and as the gilded planet revolved ‘round Skaia you would tell him all about your life and how you had waited for this. You wouldn’t be alone anymore.

    The reality is – not disappointing, no. You won’t call it that. The reality is. Different.
