Fandom: The Legend of Sun Knight
Words: 3,250
Summary: Sun and Judgment are getting married. The "why" and "how" really aren't that important right now. For this is not a story about their romance; this is the story of us observers. Yes, we, the underappreciated observers of this whole spectacle who did 99% of the work, and only received a slice of wedding cake in return. Grisia/Lesus, Ceo/Roland
Notes: Co-written with kiyutsuna! Odd chapters are hers. Even chapters are mine. (Kiyu: Warning! The illustration inserted in this chapter may cause mental scarring. (But don't worry, everything is still PG-rated) Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned...) (Luca: But Kiyu, I've actually grown quite fond of the drawing!)

Slice 3: The Art of Eavesdropping

Slice 4: The Latest Fashion

Chasel

I was always glad that my student never usually did anything unreasonable. Ever since I had met him, I'd known him to be responsible and dutiful. He was far more upstanding than any of the other Judgment Knight candidates at the selection, and I was only too thankful that he had sneaked into the Holy Temple that day and solved my biggest problem. The rest of the boys who had applied to the Judgment Knight position were all little rascals. I could not in good conscience leave the city's future safety in any of their hands.

Unlike any of the others chosen along with Lesus, my student was never a handful. Fahr often complained about Chikus running off yet again or breaking one too many doors. Lanbi always complained about Ceo being too shy. Eller was always afraid Ecilan would end up getting dismissed because he did not know how to appear stoic. Each of them complained here and there, but no one complained as much as Neo.

"He snuck more candy into his room!"

"He fell off his horse again!"

"He froze the entire forest with ice magic!"

"He went and solved my case behind my back!"

I could only shake my head each time. Like teacher, like student.

In my case, while Lesus did react badly to interrogations, he did his best to keep his reactions controlled all the time. He had never ever carried out his duties unsuccessfully, and he always diligently trained with his sword. I had never needed to spend much time training Lesus in character development classes, as he had always solemnly accepted his role.

In fact, while I did not worry over needing to replace Lesus with a back-up candidate, I did worry over his mental fortitude. He was always so focused and serious, his own harshest critic. Being the Judgment Knight required one to harden his heart and would be especially tough for someone as kind as Lesus. We Judgment Knights needed to show cruelty, yet we could not forget ourselves in the process either. Would Lesus be able to stand the pressure?

I worried all the way until the day I caught Lesus scaling one of the courtyard walls. He stood on the tip of his toes to reach a tall branch to pull himself up. I watched curiously, having never known Lesus to break rules. He took a furtive look around once he was on top of the wall, and then he jumped off the top to the other side.

He didn't return until much later. A bundle came up over the wall first before a head of black showed up, eyes darting around to see if the coast was clear. He then pulled himself onto the wall and heaved a sigh of relief when he had the bundle back in his hand. He had on a look of fond exasperation as he glanced down at the bundle, but he quickly wiped the expression off of his face.

After that, he started climbing down the wall, bundle held carefully in his grasp.

I watched all of this amusedly from behind a tree.

Later, I found out from Neo that his student Grisia had produced a pie out of nowhere. From the glances Grisia and Lesus shared and thought they were hiding whenever the pie was mentioned, it was obvious to me how Grisia had acquired that pie.

I took to observing Lesus more, but he never showed any indication that he had left the Holy Temple without permission. I hadn't known my student was that sneaky! Later, I began to notice that Lesus actually started to hold himself higher, as if he were no longer plagued by what his position required of him. It was ironic, really, that a bout of sneakiness was what brought forth higher self esteem.

It had always been Grisia who could make Lesus do things that surprised me, and it had always been Grisia who brightened his world, and who made him accept himself.

While Lesus usually never did anything unreasonable, I'd always known that that was only in the case that Grisia wasn't involved.

In this case, Grisia was very much involved.

"I'm getting married, Teacher," was my student's first words to me after we exchanged pleasantries. He was never one to beat around the bush. Two warm cups of tea sat between us.

Marriage itself would not have been shocking. Wen had married early on, nearly right after we took up our positions. Lesus was indeed at the age to get married, and considering how Elmairy was already married, perhaps starting a tradition of the Leaf Knights getting married first, Lesus would not even be the first of his generation to get married.

Lesus, who sat across from me, was truly no longer a boy. His shoulders were broad and his face sharp. He had filled out admirably over the years, his slender build replaced by a strong physique. Standing, he would even be taller than me, and I had no doubt that he would best me in a swordfight eight out of ten times. He and his fellow holy knights had even experienced more hardships than my generation, having had to deal with lands of darkness expanding exponentially and the subsequent birth of the Demon King. He had shouldered all of that and lived to tell it. This, I believed, was well beyond the student surpassing the teacher. I couldn't have been prouder.

I took a sip of my tea, and just as Lesus was drinking his, I said, "So, who is the lucky person? Grisia?"

Thanks to his many years of training, Lesus did not outwardly choke on his tea. He gently placed his cup down and cleared his throat. It only took a few tries before he could speak. Not bad. "H...How did you know?"

How could anyone not know?

I too placed my cup down.

"There is truly no one who can make you feel as strongly as he does," I murmured. Whether it was anger, relief, happiness, exasperation, pride, protectiveness, it didn't matter. The list was endless, and Grisia always brought out these emotions in the strongest of ways. I was not surprised that the other person was Grisia. I was only surprised that they had actually decided to get married.

After all, the Judgment Knight and the Sun Knight getting married was unheard of, and they must know that this would not be an easy journey.

Of course, Grisia and Lesus never were ones to settle for anything easy.

Lesus was lost in thought for a moment, a soft smile coming over his face. He clasped his hands around his cup. Finally, he looked up from his cup and said, "You're absolutely right, Teacher."

I smiled. There was truly no one else who could make my student look like this, unguarded and smitten.

"I suppose congratulations are in order," I said.

I held my cup up. Lesus held his up. We clinked them together.

Just as I took a sip, Lesus, and I suspected his timing was as purposeful as mine, said, "By the way, I will be wearing the wedding dress."

Instantly, I felt the tea slide down the wrong way, but my years of experience as the Judgment Knight were not for nothing either. I quietly coughed twice, and then I placed the cup down. I swept my eyes across his broad shoulders and his muscular physique.

Still, former Judgment Knight I may be, even I could not help the disbelief that ran across my face.

Lesus had on an awkward expression. "I know, right? It is shocking."

My student, along with being responsible and dutiful, was not one to joke around. If he said he would be wearing the wedding dress, then he would be wearing the wedding dress.

Lanbi had always thought of Ceo as a daughter to be taken care of. Ceo used to blush the brightest of reds whenever he was flustered, and his long hair only added to the image. Had I always been thinking of Lesus in the wrong way? Perhaps he would have liked to wear his hair long like mine.

Lesus sighed. "The truth is, I owe Grisia three demands. He decided on this as his second one."

Ah, Grisia again.

My student was definitely no pushover, but he could never win against Grisia.

It had always been so, from the day Lesus decided to climb walls to buy blueberry pies for Grisia.

No, perhaps even before then?

---

As the closest thing Lesus had to a parent, I accompanied him on his shopping trip for a wedding dress. Although his uncle or aunt could have claimed the spot in the past, Lesus confessed that he felt closer to me after all the years we had spent together and all that I had taught him. I could not help but feel touched. (Though part of me did wonder if he just didn't want his uncle or aunt to see him in a dress just yet.)

I made a stop along the way to send a letter I had penned to Aldrizzt, along with the wedding invitation that Lesus had brought with him. Luckily for Grisia and Lesus, Neo and Aldrizzt were not adventuring too far away at the moment. The last status update I had received from Aldrizzt indicated that they were within the borders of the Kingdom of Forgotten Sound.

"They should be able to make it back in time for the wedding," I told Lesus.

"Thanks, we didn't know how to contact Grisia's teacher," Lesus said.

"It's a good thing we have Aldrizzt around," I replied. It was likely, however, that it wasn't that they didn't have the means to contact Neo. They would just rather Aldrizzt break the news to Neo, and they would rather I break the news to Aldrizzt. After all, Neo's reaction was bound to be explosive.

With that taken care of, we made our way to a wedding dress shop suggested by the princess. It seemed that the rest of the holy knights would have a tailor sent to the Holy Temple, but since Lesus did not want to try on dresses in front of so many of his brothers, he had opted to come to this shop instead. I did not blame him.

The moment we took a step inside the shop, it fell completely silent. Then, all chaos broke loose.

"Oh my God of Light! It's the Judgment Knight! No, it's not even just the Judgment Knight! Even the former Judgment Knight is here!"

"I didn't do it!" one person shouted.

"It was him! He hid the money!" another person shouted.

"Don't drag me off to the Judge's Complex!" a third person shouted. "I promise I will pay the taxes I forgot to pay!"

"You are holding up our reputation well," I commented.

Lesus inclined his head. From watching his profile, I thought he was probably thinking, But that might not hold for much longer.

After that, Lesus squared himself and walked forward, robes billowing out impressively. He looked every inch the formidable Judgment Knight, leaving behind the relaxed air he had allowed himself in my presence. In an instant, the clamor died down. Then, Lesus said, in the silence that followed, "I wish to be fitted for a wedding dress."

I had to hand it to my student. His delivery was excellent.

All of the shop assistants turned into statues, and so did the three customers who had pleaded their innocence. Finally, one shop assistant unfroze and said, "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"

Once again, Lesus said, "I wish to be fitted for a wedding dress."

A customer unfroze to blurt out, "Are you sure it's not for the former Judgment Knight instead?"

Apparently, that was all it took for all of them to unfreeze, as everyone's eyes swerved to stare at me. They were no doubt paying attention to my very long hair and my much slimmer physique in comparison.

"I assure you, I am not the one getting married," I said.

With wide eyes, all turned their attention to Lesus. "JUDGMENT KNIGHT IS GETTING MARRIED?"

Of course. Why else would he need a wedding dress?

I covered my mouth. It would not do to laugh at my student's predicament.

---

As expected of a shop chosen by the princess, the shop assistants quickly regained their professionalism. Two shop assistants continued helping the three customers, while one came over to help Lesus try on dresses.

"What do you have in mind, sir?" asked the shop assistant. Apparently, they had decided it would be best to send their lone male worker over rather than have one of the female workers deal with a Judgment Knight who wanted a wedding dress.

"Your latest fashion," Lesus said.

My eyebrows nearly shot up.

Lesus then added, "My betrothed would like me to try that first."

The shop assistant gulped and wringed his hands. "If you say so! Right this way. Ah, over here, I mean. I'm afraid none of the dresses over there are your size..."

I waited outside while Lesus tried on the wedding dress. I had not gotten a good look at it before the curtains were drawn. All I knew was that it was suspiciously pink.

When Lesus emerged from the dressing room, it was only because of all the years I spent controlling my emotions that I did not outwardly react...too much.

The dress was extravagant, to say the least, and very, very pink, with many layers and lots of frills and lace. There was even a large bow on the back, like what one might put on a present, giving me the disturbing image of Lesus saying, "Surprise! I'm your present!" None of that, however, was what stood out to me the most.

It was only moments ago that I had been admiring Lesus' broad shoulders and how he had grown up and filled out his frame. The dress truly...showed off his broad shoulders, as his shoulders were entirely bare, and the laced top of his dress looked to be bursting around the seams.

However, I very much doubted the dress was supposed to bring so much attention to how broad his shoulders were, nor was it supposed to be bursting around the seams.

Stiffly, Lesus lifted the dress and walked forward, revealing matching pink high heels underneath complete with mini bows. I had to wonder how they were even able to find a pair in his size.

The shop assistant wrung his hands and forced a smile. "What do you think? The size is a little small, but we can resize any dress that catches your fancy."

I stared. Everyone else in the shop had stopped whatever they were doing to stare too. Lesus himself seemed speechless. He probably hadn't known what he was getting himself into, but an honest knight never went back on his word.

I finally found my voice and resolutely said, "No, definitely not this one."



Lesus was not the only one who looked relieved at my words. Even the shop assistant relaxed his shoulders and said, "If you say so!"

I was only too thankful when the curtains closed behind Lesus, but apparently we were too late, as one of the customers had already fainted from the sight. I held my head, nearly a hundred percent certain that Neo's student must have known exactly what the latest fashion was and how disastrous it would look on Lesus.

After that, the shop assistant said, "If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, perhaps we should try something outside of the latest fashion?"

It was obvious that pink, frills, and bare-shoulders did not go well together with Lesus, though I wasn't very assured from the start that any dress would look good on Lesus. The shop assistant didn't despair though, and started bringing out wedding dresses of all sorts of designs for Lesus to choose from.

"Perhaps black is more your color?" the shop assistant suggested, seemingly no longer afraid he would end up offending us and end up in prison. After all, even ending up in prison probably wouldn't top seeing Lesus in a dress of the "latest fashion."

"Perhaps," Lesus said. He sighed and chose a dress.

When he next emerged from behind the curtain, I shook my head. While his appearance was not as shocking as before, I still could not say that he wouldn't give little kids nightmares.

"Hm," said the shop assistant. "I believe we should put away all of the dresses of this cut and instead go for something simpler that would look sharper on you. Believe me, there are broad-shouldered women out there too, so there is no need to despair!"

It seemed that the shop assistant had caught on to Lesus' negative emotions. He was truly a professional. Perhaps a generous tip was in order. Lesus nodded his understanding, steeled himself, and headed back to the dressing room with a much more modest black dress.

This time, when the curtains were pulled back and Lesus walked out solemnly, I looked him over and thought that he actually looked passable. The cut of the dress was very simple and actually made him look refined instead of frightening. The dress still bore ruffles, but they were reduced to just a few that helped obscure his broad chest. They were no different to the ruffles you might find on one of Grisia's shirts.

"This dress will..." I was about to say "this dress will do," but I let my sentence trail off. Although he looked much more presentable now, there was still something off about his current appearance despite that he was dressed in his usual black, but I couldn't put my finger to it.

The shop assistant frowned and held out a veil. Once Lesus put it on, a sudden realization came over me. The shop assistant seemed to have come to the same realization because he blurted out, "Sir, may I suggest a white dress instead?"

"Why?" Lesus asked with a frown.

With a forced smile, the shop assistant said, "Well, you see, it would not do to look like you are in mourning."

Indeed. With the veil and his solemn expression, Lesus looks more like he is wearing a funeral dress than a wedding dress.

In the end, we settled on a white dress of the same design. He looked elegant in its simplicity, and the dress accentuated his excellent posture instead of bringing unwanted attention to broad shoulders. The shop assistant promised that the dress would be delivered to the Holy Temple within a week after they finished the necessary tailoring.

As we left the shop, Lesus was uncharacteristically quiet.

"Are you regretting your decision to marry Grisia?" I asked.

"...Maybe," Lesus answered glumly, once more appearing much more like my student instead of the imposing Judgment Knight who could strike fear even into hearts of the vilest of villains.

I clasped Lesus on the shoulder, his thankfully, well-covered shoulder, and said in utmost seriousness, "Child, you are truly very admirable."

After all, few would be willing to go this far for their lover.

I had always known that Lesus was very responsible and dutiful, never one to do unreasonable things. Only Grisia ever made him lose reason, and I had always thought it to be a good thing...

But now I was not so sure anymore.

Kiyutsuna: *Hides* I take no responsibility for any damages done by the illustration (There was a warning! xD). However, the Judgment Complex welcomes any complaints you may have......

Lucathia: *flails* I cannot stop flailing at Kiyu over that drawing. XD; And then I had a blast having Kiyu flail at me while I wrote the chapter that went along with the drawing. Oh Chasel, props to you for remaining somewhat...composed over Lesus wearing the "latest fashion"!

BONUS DOODLE!!
Kiyu: To make up for the very... shocking illustration in this chapter. I have put Grisia in the "latest fashion" as well. Enjoy the therapy~



(*Grisia flips a table*
Grisia: "I won the argument last chapter! Why am I still drawn in a dress!?!?!"
/Because the artist feels the need to make it up to Lesus for designing such a dress for him to suffer in.../
Grisia: "Bias! That is pure bias! Why is my dress even fancier than his?! Whyyyyy?!"
/For the sake of fan service of course! Deal with it~~~/ )

*Sigh of bliss*

[100thangel.livejournal.com]

The first thing I did when I saw this out was scroll down to see the picture…

My jaw literally fell to my chest…

L-lesus… what… oh, oh GOD!

Kiyu-sama I think I’m in love with you and this picture. A pink dress… and he actually manages to pull it off… My mind just blew up!

Not just Kiyu-sama but I love you as well, Lucathia-sama. Your writing goes beyond extraordinary. Every word had me wanting more, every sentence had me giggling, and every thought had me fawning all over the screen. You wrote Chasel so incredibly well; I still can’t believe how you were able to keep Chasel and Lesus in character with such a ludicrous setting.

This. This is exactly the kind of mature, romantic fic I have been searching for since I discovered fanfiction even existed. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I can’t tell you how many times I had to stop reading to fall to the floor and snicker uncontrollably. And such a long chapter with not only one, but two! pictures- Ah! My heart feels so light right now…

I admit that pic of Sun had me going: “Awwwwwww, such a cute wittle baby-waby! Who wants a cookie? Sun does, yes he does~ Awww!”

You, my dear authors, are the absolute greatest people I have ever been fortunate enough to worship.

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[lucathia]

Spoiler! Spoiler for the chapter! Why'd you go spoil yourself like that- (I know, I know, it's hard to resist. I would actually do the same, haha. I am generally terrible with resisting)

Ahem, that, my dear, is the "latest fashion." Maybe I should call it The Latest Fashion. Capitalized. XDD

I have told Kiyu many times that this drawing of Lesus has totally grown on me. I flailed and flailed over it (going, omg, omg) and now, I'm going, huh, you know what, Lesus actually looks quite good in it... The responsibility of my sense of beauty getting warped is totally Kiyu's fault.

This chapter was mostly supposed to be about the wedding dress fitting, but the beginning scene turned out a lot longer than I expected. So, here, have Chasel reminiscing over his student~. I love writing Chasel being calm! Even if his student is going to get married and wear a wedding dress... Chasel will still be calm...ish... (Wait for Neo's reaction, bwahahahah)

This fic is totally new territory for me! Gotta include all the feels with the romance~. It's really the perfect opportunity to explore everyone's thoughts on Grisia and Lesus. (Throw crack at me and I end up wanting to figure out how and why and all that, haha.)

...The word count really surprised me. I am definitely not a fast writer. (But being able to alternate chapters really helps. I'm only doing half the work! \o\ And if I get stuck, bouncing ideas makes it go so much faster!)

Sun looks really cute in the dress. XD; (His smile, hahaha, he sure doesn't look happy though!) If you dangle a cookie in front of Sun... And coo at him like that... Those tick marks will probably multiply, haha.

♥

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[100thangel.livejournal.com]

AH!!!! I just found the perfect wedding song! No One by Alicia Keys. It matches so well!

Oh, and I’m not afraid of what Sun would do if I dangled a cookie in front of him. It wouldn’t be the first time I teased something and got mauled… I still have the battle scars, for real. I look at them in approval (*someone who enjoys markings the human body*)

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[lucathia]

Oooh~ *goes off to listen* Wedding music with the Twelve Holy Knights and a bunch of clerics as the choir. It will be beautiful. :'D

You must be a masochist! Or one of those who love to tease. The fonder you are of someone... I think I understand your favorite pairings more now. XD;;

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[100thangel.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it! It's hard to find a good song in this day and age that could actually be played in the LSK world. I always wonder what kind of instruments they had back then. I know they have a piano and the... um... what's it called again? The thing bards would play on? (Thx to those pictures blowing up my mind, I might have lost a few brain cells)

Ha, actually I'm the opposite of a masochist. I love causing others pain and manipulating any situation to benefit me. The most surprising thing of all is that I'm in the hospitality industry.
My little sister is actually not a human at all but a demon cat. We have a love/hate tease/attack relationship. She lives away from me now but whenever I visit she always complains that I'm not around enough and won't allow me to leave until she falls asleep.
I want Metal, I really do. *sighs happily* Oh what I would to do to you, Metal...

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[lucathia]

A harp? :3;; They have organs and pipes too, maybe? I'm kind of just...imagining what might be found at a church... Whether that fits the time period, I have no idea.

Ah, I see, I see. That would indeed be the opposite of a masochist. XD;;;; The relationship between you and your sister sounds explosive. |D;;;

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

*goes to listen*
Awwww
I love the line: 'no one can get in the way of what I feel for you'
Ahhhhh *flails* so true so true <3 <3 <3

This makes me want to actually write out the 'long and twisted chain of events' that is their romance... Romance romance romance <3333 but there are so many awesome romance fics of the pair already to get head canon from *___* it's more fun to play with the observers' feels ahahaha (*read: mess with the others //bricked)

Lol Metal xD it'd be hard to win him over. That boy is complete in love with his Captain Judgment...... XD;;;;

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[100thangel.livejournal.com]

I'll keep my ears open for more songs then!

I believe Judgment would be kind and sharing with his little Metal boy, after all he did hand the whip over to Sun (not that Sun can even use a whip...) And if Metal refuses? Hahaha! Well, let's just say I own a lot of rope. And gags. And candles. And a lot of other things I shouldn't mention on here. I'm confident that I can get him crawling towards me instead. (Oooh~ rope burn~)

Re: *Sigh of bliss*

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

What? But then the surprise is ruined!! xDDD

Awww *Hugs* ♥♥♥

Glad you liked the picture! <3 See, Lesus' sacrifice was not in vain... *gets stabbed*

(Wait, this fic is "mature"? xD It was supposed to be crack! *stares accusingly at Luca* //lol JK It's really great to know that the story is well-liked even when the premise is so insane =3 )

Oh dear, if you actually coo at that to Sun while he's already pissed about the dress...... Well... *pat pat* good luck ye brave soul.

oh yes gimme that

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

aaaaaah I am scared of reading on, my second hand embarrassment senses are tingling~~ but I actually can handle it somehow if it's about Lesus, ahahaha :'D
(it's always Grisia's chapters I fail at in my anxious attempts at reading Bittersweet Sweetness too)

Re: oh yes gimme that

[lucathia]

Chasel~~~~

Of course Neo has to complain about everything. |D;;; That shows just how fond he is of his student! Chasel is a proud papa indeed. *nods*

I hope you ate something later!! Don't starve!!!

Neo will get his turn, most definitely. 8D (But he's still far away at the moment, so we'll need to give him some time to travel)

Choking on tea? Two can play at this game! XD;; (I actually don't know where that came from, hahahahaha, Chasel just went off and did it on his own and Lesus was all like, well I can do it too)

Lanbi~~~ (Just wait, Lanbi, you might need to marry off your daughter soon *coughs* You should come and spend some time with your poor daughter who is totally not getting enough rest)

I'm sure Lesus is very happy not having to deal with long hair *nods* Though of course, if he did grow his hair long, it still wouldn't be as troublesome as The Hair from the hair fic~~

Lesus, don't forget to give your uncle and aunt a wedding invitation!!!

At least, with Lesus being at the wedding shop, the people who saw him are all strangers. I always feel more embarrassed in front of people I know. Strangers, I can deal with. People I know...nope. ./////. (Ahhh, but don't force yourself if any part of the chapter makes you feel anxious! Same goes for Bittersweet Sweetness... Did you read further on with that fic? 0___0;;)

Yes, yes, enjoy the show like Chasel~. And all the other people in the shop. They don't know how lucky they are in getting to see something so rare!

N-Neo's ex-wife. Bwahahaha XD

YES. SEE. THE DRAWING IS PERFECTLY PERFECT. (No fainting over here on my side~. XD;;; More like grinning.)

LOL. So you have been waiting for someone to faint...

C-Cosplaying the latest fashion. Lesus in the latest fashion. OMG. (kiyutsuna!!!! Look at what you've done! Corrupting people everywhere!)

We shall be seeing more of them in drag...soon. 8D That post that exploded us has really opened a whole new world of possibilities, hahahahaha. (Wait, this fic wasn't about the knights being in drag... how did it turn out like this...)

Re: oh yes gimme that

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Neo and Grisia both like complaining about each other, they truly are family! |D I love family-like student-teacher relationships! Like that Truth With Cover manhua version page where Fahr hugs young Chikus after Grisia brought him back from Pink's... Aaaaah!

Don't worry, don't worry~ actually I had just gotten up at the time! After staying up till 4am... weekends are bad for my sleep cycle. xD

Now I imagine Lanbi crying into a handkerchief at Ceo's and Roland's wedding with Fahr comforting him like they're the brides parents- (somehow I adopted the headcanon of Lanbi and Fahr being BFFs due to that one doujin artist who ships them, idk)

The Hair™!! I think for normal long hair, Lesus would keep it in a low ponytail so it won't get in the way. Though I doubt that'd help with The Hair™...

...When they see Lesus wearing the dress they're probably going to mourn allowing him to become Judgment again-

Normal strangers are one thing, but... Between a bunch of people who know this is totally Grisia's fault and are used to both his shinanigans and seeing me OOC at times and citizens who only know me as the cruel and heartless prosecutor because it's basically my job to keep up that image... The poor common folk's minds!

(Aaaaah, no no, it wasn't bad at all for this chapter! The basic premonition of "whoop this is going to be embarrassing for him", yes, but it's fine since he's totally aware of what he's doing... if you get what I mean. I don't like people messing up and thus embarrassing themselves, or misunderstandings of that kind... ah, it's hard to put into words. In this scene Lesus totally knew "well this is going to be awful" and doesn't just realize how weird/off he is acting because people are surprised... There are other situations I dislike too and I can't describe and aaaaaaaaah)
(I tried to read it again, ye |D;;; I just love your writing! I want to read everything! But I gave up again in chapter... what was it, four? When Grisia smirks in Lesus' body and Ecilan tells him he looks frightening.)

Ssssh! He's totally his ex-wife! |D Just look at how he nags at him when he sees him off after the inheritance ceremony, at the beginning of Unbeatable~ And how he casually peels an apple for injured Neo after he returned from his first "Let's save little Demos from the bandits" trip. And then there's the entire "I'm not gonna keep him in check, but I still can't help kinda worrying about him since I know all his bad habits all too well, so thank you for keeping an eye on him, Aldrizzt - please keep me up to date" thing--

I had expected someone to faint at his declaration earlier already uvu

Sadly I don't wear pink dresses myself... ûu

(sssh, never enough knights in drag! I greaty enjoy this turn of events.)

Re: oh yes gimme that

[lucathia]

They are the truest of families!!! (Neo: My student's swordsmanship sucks! He froze the entire forest with ice magic. Not even a single dark creature was capable of moving- Chasel: Are you praising him- Neo: No!) Oh, oh, how much of the manhua did you get to see? I'm wondering if I should try scanlating it (but only if someone hasn't already done it, as I don't want to mutilate the binding of mine in the scanning process for nothing)

Oooh, good that you got some food in you.=P Weekends are when I catch up on sleep. |D;; I was dead on my feet Friday evening. x___x Now I'm finally rejuvenated! \o\

Ahh~~~ Do you mean FruiT? :3;; I bought one of their Fahr x Lanbi doujinshi. I'm super amazed there are doujinshi drawn of these minor characters. |D I can really see them as BFF too~

Lesus in a low ponytail. *swoons*

Yup, totally. Auntie Lucen and Uncle Lucen, you don't know the life you let Lesus walk into... XD;; But you should totally be happy for him. XD;;

Ah, true true. Lesus has his reputation, and this is completely going against it, so people are bound to be completely shocked and going o___0;; At the Holy Temple, while it would be embarrassing, the rest of the holy knights would know it's all Grisia's fault. *nods*

(Oh, okay! Phew. :'D;; Yeah, Lesus knew what he got himself into... haha... And while he didn't know what the "latest fashion" was, it is a once in a lifetime thing, so he was pretty much, "might as well try it," and then it was too late... to back out... But hey, Lesus, I thought you looked pretty good in it. *gets cut down*)

(Ahhhh, well, thanks for giving it another shot. XD;;;; I think... later on, when Grisia and Lesus meet and are in the same scenes... Grisia has a bit more restraint? Well, slightly. In any case, those scenes were my favorite to write, when they're together and basically thinking about the other person a ton XDDD)

Chasel. Ex-wife. Hehehehe. Oh gosh~. I very much support this notion. (I very much support Chasel x Aldrizzt, Chasel x Neo, Chasel x Aldrizzt x Neo ahahhaahha). Yes, yes, Chasel casually peeling an apple for Neo, yessss. *___*

I can't flail enough over these knights in drag. XDDD;;;

Re: oh yes gimme that

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Well, aside from the Neko Kreuz manhua which I've seen as far as you scanlated (+ that WIP of that one V3 prologue page), I at some point went and bought V6 of the old novel version when it popped up in some random chinese book shop on german Amazon, so I've Truth with Cover and one of the most important scenes in the entire franchise Facing the Darkness! I'd love scanlations of all the other things *^* But I also understand not wanting to damage your volumes! I'm super careful with mine myself... Not even daring to open it too wide and risk damaging the spine, aha.

I sleep all day on weekends... and then spent the nights wide awake, lalala-

Yes, FruiT! I was surprised when I found their doujin covers, like "how do you get to ship that" but it's kinda cute! Thus best friends were born in my mind.

Neo and Chasel having been together at some point but having long split up by the time 38th gen takes over is my personal shipping headcanon for them~ and now Neo's with Aldrizzt, of whom Chasel approves. And Aldrizzt worrying the first time he meets Chasel... who is all "yes please take that dwerb, take good care of that dwerb"- But Chasel and Aldrizzt bonding over how troublesome Neo is doesn't sound too bad, either...

Re: oh yes gimme that

[lucathia]

Oh! You have V6! *____* So you know exactly how stiff the binding is for the manhua included with it. XD;; I'm thinking of scanlating the manhua from V4, V5, and V6, but the binding is so stiff... It would probably require dismantling the books... I don't usually open the books very wide myself either. The binding really doesn't allow for it. -___-;; The binding for Neko Kreuz's version is much nicer, so I never feel like the manhua is about to fall apart.

That's a great schedule. XD;;

Haha, from the one scene in the manhua of Truth with Cover that had Lanbi and Fahr talking to each other! I think it was all from that scene that there are even shippers of Lanbi/Fahr out there. XD;;

Oohhh. What lovely headcanon~ ♥ Neo is just too eager to escape from Chasel. XD;; Good luck, Aldrizzt. |D;;

Re: oh yes gimme that

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

tbh I actually went and ordered the entire series through shooping service -> TaoBao by now |D Who cares if I can't read a thing-- I think it's the simplified chinese version though? It's all 8 volumes with the new designs. whelp, doesn't matter to me anyway, I can't even tell them apart really! Just give me these books to own and stroke creepily look at uvu <33
Looking at my little manhua here... I think I couldn't open the pages very far even if I wanted to. But taking the book apart would be such a pity!

...I had wondered "did they even talk to each other aside from like one scene" but apparently I forgot fangirls don't need more than one scene to ship... ahahahaha x'D It works with characters that are this much of side characters and barely appear, I guess!

Re: oh yes gimme that

[lucathia]

OOooh! Nice! The simplified Chinese version has the new covers by J.U.~ (I'm still waiting for the re-release in traditional Chinese. Come on, I want a colored illustration of Adair!! I hope he's featured for V8...I can dream, right... XD;;;)

That is seriously all that's needed for a ship to start. XD; (Even less, actually...)

Re: oh yes gimme that

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

*Swoons at the awesomeness of this chapter*
♥
I sketched the dress first, then the story happened. And after I was done flailing at Luca for the epic epic telling of Chasel's day-of-doom, I went and vamped the picture up.
(The high heels totally came AFTER Luca's writing! xDDDD;;;;)

OMGGGGG if you actually cosplay that......
*Cries on you guys*
What have I doooooonnnneeee. First Luca now the readers. Have I corrupted your sense of beauty completely?! The pink dress is supposed to b traumatic! Don't stare at it for too long! There's a reason why there is a picture of Grisia at the end for therapeutic purposes!! xDDDD

(The world will get all the holy knights in dress.... Trust me, these two pics are only the beginning... *distant gaze*)
((What is even going on how did this fic turn into a drag-fest......))

♥♥♥

Re: oh yes gimme that

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

You are ruining my sanity and I don't regret single a thing |D ♥

It just had to be high heels! Even if the image of Lesus walking in them is... wow. Pink dress isn't traumatic at all, but walking in heels might be xDD Or rather... my mind wanders off to Laica...... he'd enjoy Lesus anyone really walking all over him in pin heels......... *coughs* Okay, back to topic before I get "Nacked Meltdown" stuck in my head again.

Sadly I don't feel too well in long pink dresses myself so I don't want to spend as much money on fabric and a hoop skirt as I'd have to xD (It's more likely I might one day get my hands on both a lolita dress and Lesus wig...)

((I don't know but I enjoy the ride))

♥♥♥ ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) ♥♥♥

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

On another unrelated note I just love both your writing styles and with me rereading whatever I can get my hands on so often I sometimes have trouble keeping apart what is actual canon and what is lucathia's headcanon for some details... |DD //just absorbs your headcanons because the are so fitting YOUR CHARACTERIZATIONS ARE ALWAYS SO SPOT-ON I COULD CRY AND DEAR KIYU DOES NOT LOSE OUT TO YOU EITHER

[lucathia]

I always feel my writing is kind of dry, so I'm just super happy that people are actually enjoying the stories despite the dry writing? :'D;; As for characterization, I'm happy my interpretation is making sense (though I do have trouble with several of the characters... Like Storm... and Tyler...). Plot is probably (nearly always) sacrificed for characterization, OTL. XD;;;; What is plot.

After writing quite a handful of LSK fics, the head canon that I explored in different fics is kind of seeping into each other now. XD;; Like this chapter... I totally took this interpretation of Chasel from Invincible, that is the Legend. |D;;; I think I'm confusing myself a bit with what's canon and what's not... /o\

*flails* Kiyu's writing is so fun. She gets these characters so much and can put them into hilarious situations with it still being very faithful to the characters. *is in awe* Her ideas are awesome!!!!

And you are totally made of awesome too!!!! ♥

THAAAAAANK YOU FOR FANGIRLING WITH US ♥

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Sssssssh, your writing is marvelous! Come come, let your derpy useless fan here touch you~~ *gropes*
What is plot indeed... See why I'm never writing fanfiction! I just go off into descriptions and never get anywhere x'D Your characterizations fit perfectly with my own perception of the characters! ...even without me adopting your headcanons hffffff

That's what headcanons are! Filling in the gaps left by canon with what makes sense <3 of course things'll transcent from one fic to the next. They're part of your characterization~ And I love your Chasel sdfhbkjhfsdf though I have to admit in my mind he's living closer to the city center and doesn't have much of a garden, but some flower pots in front of his house... and lace doilies (is that the word) on his couch and armchairs. Don't ask.

Kiyu's writing is perfection too *touches her all overrrrrr* even if I only have this fic to base my opinion on. Doesn't matter! LOVELINESS IS LOVELINESS NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR LITTLE

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME ALL THESE DUMB KNIGHT STORIES TO FANGIRL OVER ♥♥♥

[lucathia]

T-Thank you. :'D;;;;;

Ahhhh, but what you wrote for the Round Robin was awesomeness. \o\ And from your comments, your headcanons sound like they would probably be fascinating. |D;;

It's kind of fun being able to include headcanon from one fic to the next. Kind of like an inside joke for some too. Adair has a fanclub (I hope I don't end up confusing anyone, hahaha. Thankfully I don't think I've written anything too ridiculous because of my headcanons yet haha). Ooo, Chasel with flower pots and lace doilies, haha. XD; Suits him a lot actually. As a tea connoisseur, he could use the whole deal!

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

W-WEH, thank yoouuuu ;A; <333

Ssssh, most my headcanons are shipping-related- *coughs* though I guess most work platonically too... and honestly I can't keep apart what's actual canon and what's just my headcanon at parts anymore, ahahaha~

If I started writing fanfiction I would probably include some of your headcanons since if it's things I never really contemplated and whatever you wrote made sense to me I just absorb it- same with other authors too but you're the most prominent with all this lovely goodness you write- and then people get confused like "where was this part mentioned in canon again" and I'll be like "uuhh... now that you mention it, is that even canon I do not remember" |D

I imagine Chasel to be the kind of calm and untroublesome neighbour everyone would wish for! Never making a ruckus, always greeting politely when you pass by as he waters his flowers... pretty much the opposite of the Judgement Knight's image, wahaha. At least until you stir up trouble in his vicinity.
Btw I've always wondered if he covers up his forehead when he goes out shopping for groceries... and how that moon tattoo tradition even came to be in the first place.

[lucathia]

I'm very fond of gen/platonic stories (both writing and reading them), so I'm quite happy that people have been reading what I'm writing. (I feel like I've found an awesome sandbox for me to play in. |D;;;;) Fandom often feels very ship focused to me. I'm kind of surprised there isn't more shipping related fic of LSK about yet, though maybe it's because there just isn't that many LSK fics around to begin with. In English fandom, at least. Chinese LSK fandom is mostly all ship fic. |D;;; I adore the bonds in LSK though and just love writing about them. They're such strong bonds~~~ and those are the type of relationships I like writing about. |D;; They often dance a fine line, I feel. It really amazed me how easy it was to make Grisia/Lesus and Ceo/Roland work in this fic. XD;;

(You should contribute to the shipping side of fandom-)

Ohhh, I would love to have a neighbor like Chasel. A well-mannered neighbor who never makes a ruckus? Awesome. Huh... Maybe Chasel should change his hairstyle. That would cover his forehead, haha. I wonder about the moon tattoo too... (though art-wise, I think it was just because they thought his forehead looked too bare |D;;;)

s

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

I generally prefer platonic stories, too! Or, well, the kind you can read as both, basically. Be it fanfiction or normal fiction. Thus why I'm so fond of LSK... so much love between everyone! Of course I do enjoy a good shipping fic any day |D but I generally read more non-ship fic if available. (And then proceed to see my shipping believes in the way the characters interact... But I like this double feeling of "they need to get married omg" and "I'm totally aware they are not canonically together" a lot.)
Ikr! I was surprised there're so few shipping fics for LSK on ffnet if compared to other fandoms. Especially Grisia/Lesus! I expected more for those two in particular becaus /just look at them/. But as you said! LSK bonds are so lovely! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I love these bonds that are such strong love, no matter if you look at it romantically or platonically. Aaaaah, the love of the family you chose! I need to sit down or I'll wail in feelings... (wait I already am sitting)

I have thought so too, but then again I have a hard time picturing Chasel with anything but his forehead showing. Be it bangs or some hat, or even a bandana... It all just feels wrong, ahahaha |D;;; I'm quite thankful I have not seen a moon tattoo on Carol. I wonder if if will be mentioned in 1st gen main story? Or just never explained... I kinda feel it'll be the second option, haha. How would Carol's Judgment head piece look on Chasel, Lesus and Hungri though, hum... (this might call for a crappy sketch again)

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

btw your comment made me actually start to note down my headcanons hffffff and wow I'm collecting more tidbits than I thought- new things to spend my late nights on |D

[lucathia]

I should actually do that too... I'm so bad at writing things down. They end up escaping me. |D;;; But yay! Soon you'll end up with tons and tons of pages, right. XD;

k;d;sd;a; Ooooh, Carol's head piece on Chasel, Lesus, and Hungri? I WANT TO SEE.

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

I really thought my shippy thoughts would outweigh my non-shippy thoughts, but they actually don't! Or more like, I went off ranting about Chasel's home, Roland's magic and Demon Kind Candidates in general, haha |D
Usually I'm not much into taking notes because things sound so dumb to me when I reread them later, but I'll really forget otherwise... *coughs* Or forget if they're canon or headcanon at some point-

M-Maybe I'll draw that eventually |D;;

[lucathia]

Oooooh, that sounds fascinating. Especially about the demon king candidates in general. *___*

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

I don't have all that much about the candidates in general yet, but I'm sure there's going to be more once I think about it more/reread the novels for the upteenth time--

you know what, I'll just throw what I have at your face |D that's what I wrote my notes in english for anyway-



- Demon King Candidates are all conceived on the same day. Roland was born late, while Grisia was born quite early, which also takes part in his relative lack of physical strength. Charlotte's birthday is somewhere in between the two.
- Candidates tend to be orphaned because bearing them takes a huge toll on the mother's body and most become sickly after giving birth, if not even dying soon after.
- The Vessel Shards are attracted to darkness so oftentimes the Candidates are born into unstable families or to women in bad situations, which is the most common cause for the lack of a father. (Though sometimes it might be the Liches interfering – taking in an orphan and becoming their guide is just easier.)
- Chasel lives in the suburbs of Leaf Bud City, in a calm area but not too far off from the central city. He's the kind of agreeable neighbor anyone would want – quiet and polite and taking great care of the flower pots in front of his house. Might give you the scary Judgment look if you cause mischief, though.
- Chasel's house is small, big enough for a single person to live in comfortably. Nothing too fancy. Flower pots in front of the house, not much of a garden, maybe some grass. White wooden fence. Lace doilies on the couch and armchairs... Might be taking care of a cat, but most likely a stray instead of his own. One that shows up occasionally, probably when it feels like it – reminds him of Neo('s sense of directions).
- Chasel's neighbors are thus used to him actually being not as much of a bad guy as the Judgment Knight's reputation suggest, and with Lesus visiting every now and then they adopted a “the Judgment Knight is totally agreeable as long as you don't break the laws” kind of view. Still the neighborhood has become one of the safest and calmest in the entire city second only to the immediate vicinity of the Church ever since Chasel moved there...
- Undead Roland can't gather Holy element at all (or at least it'd be a really bad idea for him to try), so the others cover up for him in events where Hell Knight is supposed to release Holy element together with the others. For events with an intense amount of Holy floating about (like the hymning for the crown-prince's coronation) Tyler might even stand in for him like he always did back when Elijah was still Hell.
- Back in his living stage Roland was the weakest in actively using the elements out of the Candidates, with Grisia having the overall most potential but Charlotte commanding a stronger Dark element. His affinity for gathering elements in his body had passive boosting effects, thus his fighting strength even without being under a god's direct favor like Lesus, Mike or Awaitsun.
- At the time of the selection, young Roland was stronger than Lesus who was not yet under the God of Light's blessing, even if Lesus has always been a prodigy – if he put his all into it. In a training battle Lesus would likely have the upper hand if barely since Roland's “passive buffs” were still too latent. They still are, but at some point he learned to use them on command. (Imagine a bucket of water. The elements are there, but to use them effectively you need to tip the bucket in a certain degree so some water flows out, but not all at once.)
- Fahr Blaze and Lanbi Storm are close friends and are regularly seen going for a drink together.

[lucathia]

asdjfla;sjfa;s!!!!!! *____* This is amazing! You really brought all the points that you mentioned together (and more)! Ahhhhhhh, my favorite part is that Chasel might be taking care of a stray cat that reminds him of Neo('s sense of direction). klasdjfl;saj;fsa;df THAT IS SO PERFECT.

All the stuff about the demon king candidates, ahhhhh. Born to unstable families (my heaaaaart), the candidates being a huge toll on the mother's body, candidates conceived on the same day!!!! *draws hearts all over your headcanon* It would make a lot of sense for Roland to be the weakest with the elements out of the candidates. And to have a passive affinity for them which boosts his fight strength. Yessssss.

Chasel is the best neighbor. The best. Move near him if you want a safe and calm environment! (Ahhhhh, I love that his neighbors are used to him not being as much of a bad guy as the Judgment Knight's reputation suggests!!!)

dfa;sdjfa;s When you said that Tyler might even stand in for Roland during events with intense holy element floating around, I at first read it meaning that Tyler would be standing behind Roland ajkldfa;sdjfa;jdfa;s. So, standing in??? Does that mean Tyler wears something like the Dragon's Saint Brigandine to pretend to be his captain??? asdfa;s;jfsa; (Tyler, gotta go train some more and make sure you can wear that leotard proudly!) THIS IS SO AWESOME

Fahr and Lanbi~~~~ <3333

*draws a million hearts over this*

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha actually I've been skimming through the comments I wrote to make sure I got everything I mentioned before |DD *perfect memory* (There's a reason I've started to write things down-) hakshgdkjashd the cat actually happened while I was writing and thinking about Chasel a bit more... like hey! He totally need something to care for now that he's no longer got Neo on his hands because he feels like a gentle person to me!

I wondered, why all the orphans? Poor children... but then I figured it made sense since it's easier to train someone into something dark, to put it that way, if there's nobody holding them back. Also caring for family has too much of an impact (just look at Grisia) so it might be on purpose. Thus an explanation had to be found! tbh I vaguely remembered something about being a toll on their mother's body from some other thing I read ages ago, but I just can't remember what it was! Seemed plausible to me for Candidates too, so I just adopted it-

Roland never seemed to be much of a magic user... while Grisia's just spamming magic daily and Charlotte was a Shadow Priest. But as a Candidate he should have a lot of magic potential compared to a normal human anyway! Once he's got up to Demon Lord he obviously could use his Dark element actively to summon his nice undead army, but before that? Since elements are also tied to your physical abilities, I figured that had to be where his went.

LSDHFBSJHDfsdjhfksd N-No-- Now I imagine Tyler doing weird poses and dancing and pulling faces like Orlando Bloom in scenes where Legolas had no lines behind Roland's back, thank you. xDDDD But yes! Just like that. All that holy magic can't be good to a poor little undead creature ;u; and it's not like the public cares much about what exactly a Knight-Captain looks like as long as he's handsome... when people even mix up Grisia and Neo! I don't think anyone will even notice! :'D Especially not if Tyler has been doing that before already. Just because there aren't twelve Holy Knights around inside the temple doesn't mean the public would accept the Twelve Holy Knights actually being the Eleven Holy Knights... (on that note, I believe there is a sixth person on the cruel faction side in the hymning illustration in the new version of the books even though they're pretty much cut of (at least in the scan I've got) and since there was no Hell around at the time, that should be Tyler?)

sdfjhsdj;;;;; thank you for liking my mumbling? :'D;;;; <3333

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

I adore Luca's headcanons... *cannot flail enough over them*
At this point everything in her stories is canon for me ahahah /o/ *worships*

(Admittedly, my "canon" now includes weird stuff from our crack-convos too. Such as the notion that Lesus and Grisia TOTALLY keep maid dresses in their closets for each other to wear..... //don't even ask)

Uwaaaah thank you for fangirling with us <333 and I'm so glad you like my writing too (it's nothing compared to Luca's but I'm so happy and honored to write with her ahhh ♥♥♥♥)

I spend too much time thinking about these dumb knights... Many sleepless nights are spent lamenting the fact that Yu Wo have not married Grisia and Lesus.......... Then many more nights are spent -after this fic started- lamenting Roland's fate and debating on just how necrophilia is Storm/Roland.......
Seriously, this is unhealthy xD

Personally I think the forehead-moon thing is an artistic interpretation that started with Ya Sha's illustrations and was just adopted by the whole fandom. Because I don't think Yu Wo actually mentioned the moon in any of the novels o.o

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

(.....everything's better with maid dresses)

Ssssssh your writing is wonderful uvu come here let me touch you too //touches

Me too, me too... and how many times was I late for work because of dumb knights... or rather, how often was I not. (On that note, you have no idea how happy I get whenever someone besides me calls them "dumb knights" xDD universal name for the entire series!) I'm... not sure about the answer to your Ceo/Roland worries, aside from "does this really matter" and "leave worrying about the undead part to Roland" |D
*ships all through the night with you*

Well, yeah, that's why I expect it to never be mentioned or explained really - even if she did answer that ask about wether it's a tattoo or not. But they totally have those moons, Chasel and Lesus would look so... empty without them |D Too bare! Only Hungri covers his forehead, haha.

[kiyutsuna.livejournal.com]

( here have some age old drawings of those two in maid dresses....
Grisia: http://kiyutsuna.deviantart.com/art/Sun-Maid-409151764
Lesus: http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad66/Natsuyukii/maidlesus_zpse19ea1c3.png )

I've never really thought about them in that term until reading your rants xD now I call them dumb knights in my head too ahahaha...*hugs*
The necrophilia thought was brought by this review on FFN. What I ended up convincing myself of is that it doesn't matter and wouldn't really be necrophilia anyways, since storm is halfway to being a death knight as well........... XD;;;;

I thjnk in one of the question/answer things in the manhua, yuwo did acknowledge the moons. Said something about how they're not stickers lol xD;;;
Ikr? I was doodling Lesus as the Sun Knight once (for long live the sun knight( and it's the lack of the forehead moon that makes the whole image feel off! Even with golden hair and white clothes, Lesus would still look like Lesus with the moon, take that off and it becomes weird @.@;;;;

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

((!!!! Wow, I have hoarded some of your pictures before... how did I miss maid!Grisia...?! Outrageous! But /woah that Lesus is handsome/.))

Wahahaha >D gotta convert everyone into calling them dumb knights! This makes me unnecessarily proud of myself, haha |D <33
Well, that's one way to do it xDD Normally you'd rather use the argument of how Roland is self-aware and although technically dead, he's not rotting or anything either, so he should be regarded as closer to a vampire than a corpse or something, though...? <D;;; Yeah, that's what I mean by "answering that question"! I think it was together with that character interview that included Elaro and Hungri that lucathia postet here at some point? I don't exactly remember. ...At least I'm not the only one doodling Sun!Lesus <3 As said, especially since I went with a manhua-based outfit and didn't color, he looked more like Miles Edgeworth than Lesus Judgment... or Lesus Sun... wow "Lessuson" sounds like an actual family name-

Oh my God

[(Anonymous)]

Well even though no one in the story choked, I was laughing so hard I was almost gagging.
So many disastrous images in my head.. HAHAHAH

Honestly, your characterizations are beyond awesome. I don't know how you manage to make
something so ridiculous actually make sense and actually seem like something that could really happen to the characters.

I keep imagining how the canon characters would react to this... turn of events.
HAHAHA Its just way too good!

Re: Oh my God

[lucathia]

Please take care!!!! o___o!! *pats you on the back* We take no responsibility for any possible choking or fainting. |D;;;;

Haha, I seem incapable of letting crack be purely crack. It has to make sense. :'D

Glad you got a kick out of this. XD; Wait for more reactions. We'll be seeing many more POVs, hehe.

PFFT

[aoi-nezumi.livejournal.com]

Lucathia: Although the focus of the chapter was Lesus' dress-fitting, I really enjoyed the portion of Chasel's inner monologue-ing about Lesus at the beginning. SO CUTE! Also, I can't get over the serious POV's (Roland and now Chasel) narrating such ... (ummm idk how to describe this fic).... inane? circumstances. It's perfect! And just seems like what's happening is almost completely normal. Picking out a dress for his student doesn't seem to faze Chasel at all. He's so go-with-the-flow.

Kiyutsuna: BAHAHA wha'dya mean that could possibly scare people off??? Lesus in pink PFFT. I'm not gonna lie, though- I was just as relieved as Lesus when I read that he would not be wearing the pink, frilly dress. Grisia, on the other hand, looks freaking FANTASTIC in that pink dress of frilly awesomeness.

I didn't think it would take such a long anecdote before I could get Chasel to get to the point. XD; But hopefully it all tied together~~~ Hehe, I'm loving writing crack in a serious way. It's been really amusing. XD;; Even truer given the serious nature of Chasel. *nods* (Oh, but do you mean you don't feel Adair's chapter is serious? XDDDD Or that he's not as serious as Roland and Chasel? I do suppose that his mischievous side balances things out a bit more, and we all know the Sun Knight Platoon is used to insane tactics XDDDD)

The drawing is amaaazing. XD Lesus in pink~~~~ I'm so glad we could finally post it. XDDD

Adair's chapter was serious, too. Everyone's just handling it like it as if it were another day in the life, but I guess that would be the only way considering everything they've already been through. How unexpected is the Sun and Judgment Knights getting married compared to everything else? hmmmmm.
Yeaaah, the Sun Knight Platoon definitely is already used to the craziness!

It is a splendid drawing <3 way more ostentatious than Lesus' usual attire. Grisia is diabolical. XDDD

I swear I could trademark the 'latest fashion' by now xD already put three knights in it... Wait till all of them suffer variations of the dress xD;;;;;;

I'm relieved too! It rids me of the guilt I feel toward Lesus, knowing that he'll be put in a more fitting dress for his big day <3

Such a shame Grisia isn't the bride. He does pull off the dress splendidly. But cross dressing!Grisia is totally overdone. Lesus needs his time in the fashion spotlight! /o/

teehee yessss and why shouldn't they all suffer??? I see Storm will be the bridesmaid, but couldn't he be bestowed title of the Maid of Honor and then Lesus can pick a few more "bridesmaids" to suffer with him??? mwahahahaha.

Guilt?? hehe at least Lesus handled it like a champ.

I whole-heartedly agree with Lesus needing his time in the fashion spotlight!

Ahhhhh! Lesus! OMG. Just...pffttttttt.

On the contrary, Grisia looks extremely beautiful and...girly. XD //gets hit by Grisia

Really, such a waste. I would just love it if Neo came and flipped over the fact that Lesus was wearing the dress and not Grisia, and then they both had to wear the dress. XD Hahahaha.

//maybe do a sidestory where Grisia gets fitted for a dress? I would love to see Lesus' and the Twelve Holy Knight's reaction to him looking bootiful. XDDD

[lucathia]

I don't think Grisia will need to get fitted. I'm sure they can find a dress for him a lot more easily. |D;;;; (And just wait~~)

You might be surprised by Neo's reaction. :3;;; *whistles*
