A Writing Competition I Was Going To Participate In Again This Year Has Announced That They Now Allow

Whumptober Day 17: Shipwrecked

Abandon Ship

The storm is so powerful Kohane is sure it will blow her off the deck and out to sea. She shouldn’t be out of her cabin, what does she know about sailing a pirate ship through a storm, but she heard An screaming, and can’t just leave her to do nothing.

Minori felt the same, clearly, because she follows Kohane up from below deck and immediately runs over to Kiritani, the first mate, and helps grab onto one of the ropes before it snaps.

An is holding onto the steering wheel of the ship trying to keep it from capsizing against the waves.

“An!” Kohane yells, dodging flying ropes and debris to get to her. As she gets closer, she sees An’s right arm has gone limp and she’s trying to hold the steering wheel with her left.

“Get outta here, Princess!” An says. “I’ve got it!”

Another wave crashes into the ship, causing the wheel to slip from An’s grip, and Kohane quickly grabs it and tries to force it backwards with all her might.

An grabs the top and manages to right the ship.

“I-I want to help!” Kohane gasps, salty water filling her mouth the moment she says anything. “Let me!”

She locks eyes with An, who nods. “Alright, be my extra pair of hands, there’s an island not far from here, we’re gonna try and dock the ship there and wait out the storm.”

Kohane nods, helping An steer through the Vivid through the choppy waters, quickly becoming completely soaked.

“Uncle, I dunno what you’re so pissed at, but let! Us! Through!” An shouts. She gives Koghane a nod, and with one last giant shove, they get the ship through one last gigantic wave before practically crashing into the small dock of an island.

The ship is finally still, but the storm is still whipping around. 

“Ok, everyone off ship! We’re heading inside!” An shouts, and the rest of the crew clambers down over the sides of the ship, helping the injured as best as they can to get to the single large house on the island.

Minori runs over to Kohane, scoops her up, and jumps over the side of the ship. First Mate Kiritani helps An, and they all head to the house.

An knocks, and a woman with orange hair opens it. “An-chan!”

“Hey, Yoka-san,” An says. “Sorry for dropping in, but we needed someplace drier.”

“No need to apologize,” Yoka-san says, “come in.”

Kohane had been worried that the ship’s crew would be too much for the small living room, but they fit in fine.

Apparently, Yoka-san’s son, Arata, and his husband, Souma, had been members of The Vivid when An’s dad was captain, so they were more than happy to put them up for the duration of the storm.

“What’s got your Uncle in a twist today?” Arata asks as he helps reset An’s dislocated shoulder. 

“Oh who knows,” An says. “Maybe he’s just moody.”

“Your… uncle?” Kohane asks, taking a small sip of the tea Yoka-san brought.

“Ah, I guess you’ll find out soon,” An says. “But yeah, I’m a siren. We all call the God of the Seas ‘Uncle.’”

“A siren who runs her own pirate ship?” Minori asks.

“Is it odd?”

“No, more like amazing!” Minori says. “Haruka, are you a siren too?”

Kiritani laughs. “No, just a regular human pirate.”

“And you’re still the first mate? Cool!”

“Of course,” An says. “Haruka’s been my best friend since we were little, she was my only choice for first mate.”

“Yeah, what would you have done if I had taken that job as a court singer back home?”

“Well, I’d have to tell my dad why his ship was destroyed.”

“And, you two,” Souma asks. “Are you the newest members of the crew?”

Kohane shakes her head. “No, we’re travelers. An was willing to give us a ride to the nearest kingdom across the ocean, and from there we were going to travel by ourselves, see new things.”

“Oh, is that all you wanted to do?” An asks. “That’s a shame, because if you really want to see new things, you could join us. We sail all over, doing all kinds of jobs. Meet all kinds of people.”

Kohane’s eyes widen. “R-really? But I have no experience… I mean Minori and I were going to find someplace to settle down and open an inn…” Kohane looks to Minori, to be sure that accepting the offer wouldn’t mean consigning her to a life at sea she doesn’t want, but Minori’s staring at Kiritani with sparkling eyes.”

“Once the storm dies down, I’ll ask some of my cousins to help float us back to a proper port,” An says. “Then we can do repairs, take jobs, and if you’re interested, maybe you’ll stay with us?”

“Y-yes,” Kohane says. “I’d love that.”

Hello gamers I have a small fic that I could post if people are interested enough but idk if anyone would care so

Spotify writing prompt: how about song 73?

73. Transition 4 (35:MM A Musical Exhibition

And if a world lies beyond/Does something try to respond?/Is film an unearthly bond?

Futaba pulls away from Ren and the others, eyes trained on the white hat across the room. Normally something like this, an afterparty for the film festival filled with strangers, would terrify her, but in this case, it’s almost like something is pulling her to the girl in the white hat.

Hikari Honda.

Futaba had never met her, never heard of her until they’d randomly decided to go to this showcase. But watching her film, “New Cinema Labyrinth,” and then seeing her come on stage something in Futaba got excited.

And not in the way that Hikari’s cute. Like, obviously she’s cute but that’s not the feeling in Futaba’s gut. Hikari felt familiar, and Futaba’s gonna get to the bottom of that feeling.

“Hey!” Futaba says, reaching out to grab Hikari’s arm. Hikari stops and turns to Futaba in shock, and Futaba’s throat clams up. Gah, running up to a random stranger like that, she’s acting like Inari. “H-hi! I’m Sutaba Fakura,” Futaba stammers. “I-I mean, Futaba Sakura! I uh- really liked your movie!”

“Oh! Thank you,” Hikari says. “I’m sorry, have we met before?”

“I don’t think so! I’m not really a huge movie buff, but my friends wanted to come.”

“Oh.” Hikari frowns. “I could’ve sworn I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

“Me too!” Futaba says. Suddenly, someone bumps into her and Futaba yelps.

“Um, would you like to go somewhere more private?” Hikari asks. “I’m not really great with crowds.”

“Me neither,” Futaba says. “Um, why don’t we go over back where my friends were? We sorta staked out a secluded corner by the refreshments table.”

“I’d like that,” Hikari says. She offers her hand out to Futaba. “Would you lead the way?”

Futaba grabs Hikari’s hand effortlessly. “I’d love to.”

Whumptober Day 2: Amusement Park

The Things I Do For You

“Why are we doing this again?” Akito groans as he helps pick through the remains of the burnt pier.

“Because Aoyagi can’t say no to Tenma and you can’t say no to Aoyagi,” Tono says.

Akito grimaces, but he knows Tono’s right. Phoenix Wonderland had bought the land the pier is on to expand into a water park, but then it had mysteriously burnt down, so now they were stuck helping pick through the wreckage.

The two of them are doing some heavy lifting by the water, which isn’t fun in the humid summer air. Akito’s pretty sure he’s run out of sweat and is about to suggest to Tono that they grab some water, but Tono’s staring off into the ocean.

“Tono? What’re you spacing out for?” Akito asks.

Instead of a snappy retort, Tono doesn’t say anything until Akito physically walks up and grabs his arm.

“Dude, what’s wrong?” 

Tono blinks. “Sorry, I just could have sworn I heard Souma.”

“What? Dude, why would Souma be here? It wouldn’t be safe.”

“Yeah. Of course. You’re right.” Tono says, but he doesn’t sound convinced.

Akito rolls his eyes and grabs Tono’s arm. “C’mon, I think the heat is getting to us.”

Akito! Help!

Akito whips his head around at the sound of Toya’s voice, but the only thing behind him is the blue expanse of the ocean.

“No,” Akito says. “Fuck this.” He starts dragging Tono away from the ocean with one arm and calls Toya with the other.

“Akito? Everything ok?” Toya asks over the phone. 

“Were you by the pier?”

“Um, no? We’re over by the Ferris Wheel.”

“Yeah, thought so. Tono and I are hearing things, can we meet you by the snack station?”

“Are you ok?”

“We will be once we’re in the shade and drink like a gallon of–”

Suddenly, Tono tears away from him and starts running back towards the pier. “Souma! I’m coming partner!”

“Tono– talk to you later, partner!” Akito hangs up and chases after Tono, tackling him into some wood before he can throw himself into the water.

“Let me go! Souma needs me!”

“Souma is not here!”

Akito, help me! I can’t swim!

Akito looks up and blinks. That certainly looks like Toya in the water, but Tono struggling to get out from under him takes Akito’s attention away.

Akito, help! Don’t you care about me? Don’t you love me? Will you really let me die?

“Ok, look,” Akito says, trying not to hurt Tono too much. “I do love Toya, I’ve also had too many problems with people who look like Toya using that to get to me, and I literally just talked to him, and if Toya was suddenly drowning we’d be hearing Tsukasa, so no. Not gonna work, sorry.”

Not-Toya looks annoyed, then sinks back into the water.

Akito breathes a sigh of relief, but a split second later, scaly hands burst out of the water and grab onto his arms.

He and Tono are dragged over the side of the pier into the water. Akito can’t make out what’s grabbing onto him in the dark, but it’s all he can do to hold onto Tono and try and swim away.

Akito kicks and pulls frantically to get away, and eventually spots a rotting piece of the pier and kicks at it frantically from you.

The entire thing above them shakes and old wood crashes into the water, chasing off the figures in the dark.

Akito swims back to shore faster than he’s ever swum in his life, dragging Tono the whole way.

“Akito? What happened?” Toya, the real Toya, with legs, is on the rest of the pier with the others.

“We got fucking sirens,” Akito sputters. Tono also starts coughing up water.

“What?”

“Sirens, Toya.” Akito says. “We got fucking sirens. Let’s get out of here.”

✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?

Funnily enough, this has actually happened twice. It’s probably going to be either

- The vibes, according to the people that guessed it

- Probably anything relating to the word “partner”

- Random, insane OC references
