btw i really love your writing šā¤ļø
WARNINGS: FEMALE READER + RELIGIOUS TOPICS + NOT PROOFREAD
NOTES: IM ALIVE GUYS I SWEAR IM ALIVE. ALSO, I DID THIS ON A WHIM SO IT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST. SORRY AND THANK YOU.
Oh, you poor, unsuspecting soul.
You're about to hop on a roller coaster so wild and unpredictable that even the most hardcore adrenaline junkies would pause and reconsider their life choices before strapping in. Seriously, who could have predicted that someone as cold and ruthless as Zenonāyes, Zenon, the guy whose hobbies probably include brooding and looking dramatically into the distanceāwould ever let thoughts of anything other than his missions and duties creep into his mind?
And not just anyone, mind you, but a nun? The irony is ironing. Zenon falling for someone devoted to peace and virtue? Itās like discovering the Grim Reaper secretly volunteers at a kitten shelter on weekends. But hey, life has a funny way of throwing curveballs when you least expect them, and Zenon catching feelings might just be the curveball of the century.
Zenon's interest in you doesn't start as loveāoh no, that would be too simple, too human. Instead, it begins as a fixation, a curiosity he canāt quite shake. You see, heās drawn to your purity, your unwavering faith, and that infuriating devotion to something greater than yourself. For someone like Zenon, whose life is steeped in shadows and bloodshed, these qualities are both intriguing and utterly alien. Itās like heās found a rare, delicate flower growing in the middle of a battlefieldāsomething that shouldnāt exist, and yet, here it is, flourishing despite the chaos.
Your kindness and warmth are stark contrasts to the cold, brutal world Zenon knows so well. To him, you're almost like a living embodiment of everything he's notāand, frankly, everything heās never wanted to be. Zenon is perfectly content with his dark, brooding existence; thank you very much. The idea of being anything else? Laughable. But still, thereās something about your devoted nature that tugs at him in ways he doesn't fully understand.
Itās not loveāat least not yetābut thereās definitely something there, something that keeps him coming back, if only to try and figure out why someone like you exists in a world like his.
Zenon doesnāt harbor any outward disgust toward religionāheās not the type to waste energy on something as trivial as disdain. Instead, religion just makes him tilt his head slightly, those dark, intimidating eyes narrowing as if he's trying to solve a puzzle he doesnāt really care about. Heās genuinely baffled by how someone could be so dedicated, so selfless, so utterly consumed by their devotion to something intangible. How could anyone willingly bind themselves to something as abstract as faith?
If we're being completely honest here, Zenon probably finds the whole concept of religion utterly useless. In his mind, power is the only currency that matters, and in the face of overwhelming strength, everything elseāincluding religionāseems trivial at best. He sees religion as something that would only hold a person back, a crutch that prevents them from grasping real power. After all, why rely on divine intervention when you can take matters into your own hands?
But does he care if someone else wants to cling to their faith? Not really. Zenonās not interested in converting anyone to his worldview; heās too focused on his own goals for that. If people want to hold themselves back with their religious beliefs, thatās their problem, not his. He just shrugs it off, filing it away as another incomprehensible quirk of humanity that he doesnāt need to understand and thinks it just holds everyone back.
But anywayāover time, this curiosity of his starts to twist and morph into something far more dangerousāan obsession. As this obsession deepens, Zenon begins to rationalize the strange feelings he's grappling with, trying to make sense of them in a way that aligns with his dark worldview. He starts to see your innocence as something fragile, something that needs to be protectedāby him and only him.
Of course, Zenonās idea of protection isnāt exactly comforting. It's dark, suffocating, and possessive. In his mind, the only way to keep you truly safe is to isolate you from the world, to lock you away where no one else can reach you or taint your purity. This twisted logic extends to everyone around you, even those closest to you, like Sister Lily and Father Orsi.
Sure, even if theyāre like your family, even if you dearly love them with every fiber of your being, and even if Zenon knows all of thisāhe still sees them as obstacles. And letās be real; thatās not exactly surprising. To him, theyāre not threats, just hurdles he needs to clear before claiming his prize: you. Iām not saying heād immediately jump to murder, but itās definitely crossed his mind. Whether he goes that far depends entirely on how much resistance they put up.
Zenon isnāt one for subtlety or long-winded schemes. Heās not going to waste time orchestrating elaborate events to make it seem like Sister Lily or Father Orsi are in danger or untrustworthyāthatās just too much work for something he could easily solve by just killing them. Heās got power, and heās more than willing to use it to carve a quicker, more direct path to you. If they become too much of a nuisance, well, letās just say Zenonās not above using lethal force to clear the way. Sorry, but in his mind, itās a simple equation: theyāre in his way, and heās not one to let anything stand between him and what he wants. Of course, if by some miracle Sister Lily and Father Orsi step aside and let him throughāthough letās be real, thatās about as likely as Zenon deciding to take up knittingāthey might just live to see another day.
That being said, once Zenon realizes that heās not just obsessed with you and that his feelings run far deeper than mere fixation, well, say goodbye to your freedom. Forever.
Zenonās first move would be to isolate you completely, cutting you off from everyone and everything youāve ever known. He wouldnāt hesitate to threaten the lives of those around you if it meant coercing you into submission. Itās just a necessary step to secure your loyalty and your obedience. Heād present himself as your only protector, the one person who can truly keep you safe in a world filled with chaos, danger, and evilāa world thatās constantly trying to kill that innocence you have. To Zenon, this isnāt just a twisted power play; itās an act of love. He genuinely believes that by keeping you close, by holding you tight in his suffocating grip, heās shielding you from the darkness that he knows all too well.
And yes, Zenon is the very embodiment of that darkness, the very thing heās supposedly protecting you from, but in his mind, thatās just more reason for you to stay with him. Youāre precious, sacred even, and he canāt bear the thought of losing youāespecially after what happened with Allen. Oh how much you remind him of that sunshine boy, that bright light that was snuffed out too soon. He doesnāt want to experience that pain again, that devastating loss. So he convinces himself that this is the only way, that by keeping you close, heās protecting both you and himself from a repeat of the past.
But while Zenon is dead set on āprotectingā your purity as a nun, he's also not above trying to chip away at the very core of what makes you who you are. He takes a strange satisfaction in subtly undermining your faith, poking holes in the foundations of your beliefs whenever he gets the chance. He'll challenge your views on life, death, and the morality of your God, all while weaving in his own twisted philosophy, as if trying to make you see the world through his cold, unforgiving eyes.
As much as heās intrigued by your devotion, it also kinda grates on him. How can someone be so unwavering in the face of a world as dark and merciless as this one? He might be your self-appointed protector, but thereās a part of him that wants to see you stumbleāa lot, actually. Zenonās not satisfied with just keeping you safe; he wants to break your spirit and mold you into someone who sees the world the way he does. Heās not just after your obedienceāhe wants your mind, your very soul, to align with his own warped perspective.
In fact, at some point, Zenon would likely want you to abandon your faith altogether. Heād see it as a weakness, something that blinds you to the harsh realities he believes in. In his mind, your faith and ideals are naĆÆve, a set of fragile beliefs that will only lead to your destruction if left unchecked. He sees his efforts to sway you as an act of mercy, a twisted form of salvation. To him, if you could just shed those old beliefs and embrace his darker, more ārealisticā worldview, youād be stronger for itāstronger and safer, as far as heās concerned.
So while Zenon might claim to be protecting your purity, the truth is much more sinister. He wants to strip away everything that makes you who you are, to rebuild you in his own image, and in doing so, bind you to him in a way that goes far beyond physical control. To him, thatās the ultimate act of protection: not just guarding your body, but reshaping your very soul.
Moreover, Zenonās icy logic and emotional detachment would make it utterly futile to try and reason with himāeven if youāre usually a master at persuading others. With him, all your skills in negotiation and reasoning would hit an unyielding wall. Zenon isn't the kind of man who can be swayed by emotional appeals or logical arguments. His mind is set, and once heās decided on something, thereās no changing it. If you ever attempted to escape or reach out for help, youād quickly learn just how unforgiving he can be. Any act of defiance would be met with swift and brutal consequences, the kind that would make you think twice about ever trying it again.
Zenon doesnāt see you as an individual with your own thoughts, feelings, and agency. To him, youāre a precious, pure possessionāsomething to be guarded, controlled, and kept away from the world. He might speak of love, but his version of it is suffocating, possessive, and devoid of the genuine respect and care that real love requires. Instead of being cherished as a person, youāre reduced to an object of obsession, someone whose freedom and autonomy are sacrificed on the altar of his twisted affections.
In Zenonās mind, the endgame is crystal clear. Heās convinced that by breaking your will and dismantling the person you once were, he can rebuild you into something that aligns with his dark, twisted worldview. If you were to ever fully submit to his control, heād see it as a victoryāa validation of his power and a confirmation that his way is the only way. But hereās the thing: that victory wouldnāt bring Zenon any real peace or happiness. Despite his relentless pursuit, Zenon is a man consumed by darkness, and even if he managed to break you, heād likely find himself staring into an abyss of his own making.
The purity and innocence that first drew Zenon to you would be gone, stripped away by his relentless need to control and reshape you. In their place would be something hollow and brokenāa reflection of Zenon himself. He might have you under his thumb, but the person he was so fascinated by, the light that caught his attention, would be extinguished. And what then? Zenon is too far gone to appreciate what heās lost, but on some level, he would likely feel the emptiness of his so-called victory.
Overall, Zenonās pursuit of you is more than just a desire to possess; itās a reflection of his own inner turmoil. Heās a man who, in trying to hold onto something pure, only succeeds in dragging both you and himself further into the darkness. The very thing that made you special to himāyour purityābecomes a casualty of his obsession. And in trying to mold you into something that mirrors his own brokenness, Zenon only deepens his descent into the void, leaving behind nothing but the remnants of what once was and what could never be again.
se busca persona creativa que nombre al fenix :“v
Cada que veo mi cuenta, recuerdo que no he hecho nada con el avance de mi au (culpo a mi falta de memoria), asà que decidà empezar con algunos headcanons para Akko (Diana aún es un dilema para mi, creo que leeré varios fics respecto a su futuro,a ver si asà logro algún avance xD)
una disculpa sincera a todos los que saben dibujar animales, les juro que intentaré mejorar Q-Q (me duelen las manos, siempre trabajo en un formato enorme y tardo mucho para terminarlo :“D)
Espero les guste chicos, ”lo amo mucho!
A little late, but Iām officially in love with these two, and I cannot scream enough at @theprojectava for all the amazingness of the stories she has woven for Kuro here during this week! They have been absolutely wonderful and I hope everyone has loved them as much as I have for they are beyond deserving of that!
Magic happens when a smile spins more hope than starlight.
Magic forms when a hand reaches out and calls your soul back to the home it never thought it had.
Magic burns warm beneath skin and puts a tumble in your blood flow, so much that your heart has to race just to catch up with the breath trying to fill your lungs.
Itās that odd flash of feeling lighting up your brain and sinking into your cells, reminding you that there is infinitely more to all that you are than the world youāve known has ever told you could be.
Kuro doesnāt know what sort of tricks Lance is pulling, but he knows that there is something unearthly in the way Lance moves against him. His whole body has gone stiff, prepared for war though Kuro doesnāt know against who or what exactly. But, the anticipation is there, putting steel into his muscles and reminding him that so rarely is there a thing called peace, even during his downtime. He hasnāt gotten used to the Castle just yet in that regard, still waits for the time when pain will creep into his sleep and the nightmares will infuse their logic into his dreams until he canāt tell them apart any longer.
He still doesnāt know what it means to fight for the greater good, only that fighting is what he had been made for, and in fighting, comes injury and loss. He waits for both like a prisoner the juryās verdict over the crimes against his own humanity.
How does one salvage their heart from themselves?
Magic.
His shoulders are the first to give up their tension, relief cascading down his limbs like a river seeking its resting place in the sea. Bit by bit, he falls into silence and marvels at the way a human touch can unravel the hurt and the expectations held by his body. Lanceās fingers trace along the edges of a scar, and while Kuro could tell him the story of that particular one, Lance doesnāt ask. He simply lets his fingertips walk the outline of it as if coming to know its shape and the story it held by touch alone. The same way one can look at a crater gouged into the earth, and know, without hearing its tale, that something of a small disaster took place here. It left its mark, and still the world continues to move, still a heart continues to beat.
Life is tenacious if nothing else.
As Lance slides his hands around to his stomach, Kuro feels the tension threaten again, rising dark as shadows at sunset, only to find it reduced beneath Lanceās laughter. The sound is soul-saving. Itās the hand pulling him to shore after months of near-drowning in the inky seas he called himself. Lanceās laugh, warm and light against his shoulder, reminds Kuro that there is something solid of himself worth building a future upon.
Reaching down, he slides his hand along Lanceās, slowly sinks his fingers into the space between the Blue Paladinās.
Come home shouldnāt be this easy, but with Lance, somehow it is.
And as Lanceās lips continue to drift along his skin, luring the pain from body and thought alike, Kuro starts to wonder where the magic really is.

KURO WEEK - DAY 5: Nightmares
Eeeh⦠so this is kinda long. But I loved writing it. Also: itās from Shiroās POV. So⦠have this:
Monsters donāt have nightmaresā¦
It took everything in him not to scream. He wouldnāt give them the satisfaction. Wouldnāt let them know how afraid he really was.
Noā¦
He had survived this once⦠He would do it again. Because now he knew how the cruel machinery of the arena worked, relentless and precise like clockwork. He knew what the Druids would do to him. He knew the rules.
Stick to the rules and survive.
And rule number one was to never show your fear.
Shiro could do this, he would survive and find his way back home. Home⦠wherever that was. A small, fragile smile crept onto his face. Of course he knew where home was. It was somewhere among the stars⦠Sitting in a giant robot lion and hunting every single Galra cruiser down in order to find him. He would survive this⦠for now there was Keith, burning with the force of a thousand suns, fiery red and blazing with anger. He had seen glimpses of what the Red Paladin was capable of⦠This man would tear the universe apart and burn the whole Empire to ashes, if thatās what it took to get Shiro back.
For now he would stick to the rules and buy his friends as much time as possible to come and find him. Him and-
Movement from the shadows caught his attention, followed by a soft sob. If it hadnāt been so eerily quiet in their cell, he mightāve missed it. Shiro froze at the sound, eyes trained on the the figure that laid curled up on one of the cots.
The first time heād seen him, Shiro had actually lost it. He still had no idea where he came from ā it didnāt really matter anyway. Because he was there nonetheless. He existed. He breathed. There was a soul in his yellow eyes, when he gave Shiro that look. That look of utter betrayal, like heād hoped for something more, something that was definitely not a beaten and bruised Shiro.
He couldnāt really remember when or how the guards had maneuvered him into the same cell he occupied. At some point heād simply checked out, mind going blank and numb, because it was all too much.
The Druids had taken his arm, stripped him off any right he thought he had, put him through fights against aliens twice his size⦠but THIS. This had been the last straw.
It was the day he met his clone, that Shiro actually cried for the first time in ages. He cried for himself. It was the same day he realized, that this would never end. Theyād always find a way to break him, to bend and twist him, until his mind turned into something ugly. The evidence, the actual personification of their madness driven efforts, sat right in front of him and stared at him with piercing yellow eyes.
He had no idea how long theyād stayed like this. Huddled against opposite walls of the same cell and staring off into nothingness, until one of them had started talking. It had been awkward, looking at his own face and listening to his own voice, somewhat sounding off. More guttural. Some words even sounded a littleā¦purred? It was almost off-putting to see his own face staring back at him and moving with expressions that werenāt his. It felt like watching yourself in a mirror, but your reflection suddenly stops moving along with you. Familiar features turned into something otherworldly, because someone else controlled them and poured their very soul into every twitch and pull of muscle.
Theyād created a whole new being. The clone mightāve looked like Shiro, but under their shared features, there was a different person. Individual. Original. And so, so human. He even had a name.
Kuro.
How fitting, Shiro had thought at first. But heād come to realize quite fast, that Kuro wasnāt the dark, evil minded counterpart heād expected to hide behind that name.
In fact, the more they talked, the more Shiro got the impression, that their Galra-hybrid was more human than most people Shiro had met back on earth.
He had suffered. He had seen horrible things, survived even worse. Heād been ripped open and put back together, just to be torn apart again. Some days he would find the strengh to laugh at all of this⦠And some days he would break under the pressure and fear. Like any human being would do.
Days had passed. It was easy - too easy - to believe that Kuro was anything but a monster. Especially so, after heād been carried back into their cell, right after one particular hard fight. Kuro had won, of course⦠But was the damage his body and mind had taken really worth it?
Seeing him like this morphed repulsion and mistrust first into pity, then into something else. Something Shiro didnāt really want to think about. It felt way too close to compassion.
He couldnāt let that happen.
Stick to the rules and survive.
And sticking to the rules meant no sympathy for Galra-clones.
In the end the universe wouldnāt have any of it.
Another sob brought him back to reality. It tore through the silence that hung between them. As far as he could tell, Kuro was still asleep on his small cot, but he thrashed wildly against invisible enemies and restraints. Maybe he relived his latest fight? His latest torture? Tears glistened in the dim purple lights.
In this moment he looked almost completely human⦠Vulnerable and scared and just so much younger.
Shiros throat went dry. Kuro wasnāt a monster⦠never had been⦠And that tore at his heart.
Despite what the Druids wanted him to be, Kuro was anything but a monster.
Without thinking, Shiro stood up from where he sat, back against the wall, and silently made his way towards the clone. Said clone was a mess; twitching and and clawing at the nightmares that plagued him.
Another whimper. Small and heartbreaking. He couldnāt take it.
Shiro couldnāt stop himself from reaching out, trying to soothe Kuro with a warm hand on his shoulder. But it wasnāt enough to make the nightmares stopā¦
Fuck the rules.
Soon he found himself huddled up on the small cot next to the other man, arms wrapped around shaking shoulders and metal fingers stroking carefully over a tense back. There were scars on his back. So. So many⦠Shiro didnāt even want to know what had caused these scars. Or the nightmares.
This man was definitely no monster.
Because monsters
didnāt have nightmaresā¦

I know I promised there will be a happy ending to my Kuro week⦠But for now⦠suffer with me? @kuroweek
So, @theprojectava drew the beginnings of her fantastic Kuro and like most things I see of hers, I itch to write something. SO - in honor of Kuro Week, a short little piece spun out of her description and drawing!Ā
There was method, and there was madness. Kuro knew the Druids were capable of both, had experienced it himself through countless excursions into the Arena, under numerous torments all excused in the name of science and learning.
He would be a crowning achievement. A hero, a thing to be feared and rightly so.
Ah, but he wasnāt Kuro then. He was Zero, a starting place, a nothing and a beginning. He was the launching point for a counter-resistance. He would be everything the Black Paladin was not, and in that he was supposed to be better. But how did a nameless experiment prove itself more than the original?
A name was something that grounded. It gave meaning. It defined an existence.
And he certainly existed. You had to be alive to feel the pain, and you had to have a heart to know that some of this was wrong. Very wrong.
So, how did he define himself?
He knew he didnāt want this. He knew he wasnāt Shiroor Champion, that he wasnāt better because an entity in and of itself could not be out-made as it was the only one of its kind. He knew you could share blood and genetics, but a heart and mind were something all oneās own. And he didnāt want the Druids to suffocate either of those, for they were his, and they told him he was better than this.
Better than the forced fights in the Arena. Better than a mechanical arm. Better than the endless hours of torture on that cold metal slab of a table. Better than the monster they told him he needed to be because that somehow made him better than a champion.
The Druids tried to define him by their methods, trying to carve him out of pain and slaughtering his fears, trying to fortify him with a killerās finely honed instincts. They tried to make him something lesser while claiming he would be greater. And he may not have known much, but he knew this was a lie.
Their words sat like snakes in the very core of his being, writhing over one another and threatening to strike if he made one false step, let slip one too-human word.
So, he learned.
He became ruthless, digging his hands into the worst of all he ever imagined he could be. He tore through opponents, standing in the crimson of desired victory, and held silent at the knives slipping beneath his skin and the way his veins would sing with fire. The fear of death slowly drained from his eyes as they spoke of him, of the ways to make him better, of how best to strip the human from his heart.
He embraced madness, wore it like a second skin until the Druids stopping whispering malcontent and started to smile. And as their words fell to quiet murmurs, just enough to remind, he knew that he could play this role, bit by bit letting the blood run out on his humanity with every win in the Arena.
Bit by bit building a wall of iron around his heart.
He was zero, a nothing and a somebody.

Cute!

KURO WEEK - DAY 4: Betrayal
āI couldnāt do it, you knowā¦ā
The Galra-hybrid looked at the glowing star maps and swirling galaxies surrounding them. One of his clawed metal fingers absently brushed against one of the floating holograms, that filled the darkened room. Too absently for Lanceās liking.
āDo what?ā
āI couldnāt fight them without mercy, like he did.
I couldnāt even bring myself to beat someone up, without feeling guilty afterwards.ā
A huff of laughter escaped Kuro. A humorless, dry little sound, that sent chills down the Blue Paladinās spine.
āWhat a pathetic Champion I wouldāve been⦠Bet that wasnāt what they had in mind when they created me.ā
āUh⦠Kuro? You do realize, that having a conscience is a good thing, right?ā
āI know, I knowā, Kuro sighed. āBut back then everything was⦠different. In reverse. Upside down. Back then, being good was a weakess.ā
Without realizing it, heād leaned closer to Lance, seeking out the comfort of another bodyās warmth. He could feel it radiate through layers of clothes, mingling with his own warmth. God, back then, during his time with the Druids, he hadnāt had much contact to others⦠At least not the well-meant kind of contact. And he hadnāt known heād missed it, until he had his first taste of a hug.
Taking a deep breath, he cherished the feeling of the other manās side against his own, before he continued: āAnd I never knew why I was so weakā¦
I never knew why I was this way, when the man I was copied from, seemed so cruel.
⦠Until I saw him in person. Right after Zarkon was defeated and Shiro was captured again. I saw him. I saw Shiro ā the Champion.ā
A warm, supporting hand crept up his back, stroking carefully over the soft, thin fabric of his jumpsuit. No doubt feeling the criss-crossing lines littering the skin underneath.
āAnd suddenly I knew what drove him to stay alive in the arena.
Suddenly I realized, that all his cruelty and blood-thirst were nothing but a facade. A show to hide the softness and fragility of his all too human heart.
I realized, that my own softness and caring, my own inability to be the monster they wanted as their Champion, all those āweakā emotions I thought were my own wrong-doing-⦠I-⦠I realized they actually came from him.
That same stupidly good, human heart beats inside my chest.
Heās always been like this, so how could I be anything else?ā
Kuro felt hot tears welling up in his eyes. He didnāt want to cry, but he couldnāt control himself any longer. Too many things had happened. And finally, finally, someone listened. Finally someone cared.
āHe was the reason I was this way⦠Everything I ever believed to be true⦠was a lie⦠The Champion was a lie.
and Iāve never felt more betrayed in my whole life.ā
Okay so⦠Kuro has a sad? But this time he isnāt alone. :3 Iām so sorry Iām writing all this sad stuff, but trust me, itās getting better with every day of the @kuroweek
hang on he just has to do keithās hair THEYāLL BE RIGHT THERE
