Christmas gift delivery

[wannasmash]

Christmas isn't as big a deal as New Years, but Midoriya knows Luz likes chocolate! It's hard to come by, but that makes this infrequent treat all the more special when he spoils someone with it. By now, Luz knows that Midoriya is good at scouting nice bakeries. Inside the gift box are a variety of pastries made with chocolate as well as actual chocolates.

Hi Luz-san!
There's enough for you and Lexi-san. I hope she likes chocolate? If not, I can find something else!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Your friend, Midoriya

Aw yes, more chocolate!

Luz is sharing this with Lexi and sending Midoriya a thank you letter soon!

Gift Delivery - December 25th

[survivalthroughhate]

[This year, Maul had decided to behave himself when it came to giving gifts, unlike in years past where he broke into people's houses rather like Santa himself did. All gifts are left on the porch or front step of the recipient's home for them to find in the morning.

He left Luz some gifts. The main one was some sketches that Maul had done one day while observing her. The others were some quirky and somewhat morbid bookmarks that she could either use personally or for the bookstore. Left with them was a note in blocky handwriting wishing her a Merry Christmas signed from Darth Maul.]

[ This text comes in towards the end of the month of April, long enough after her corruption and subsequent beasthood that it's no longer as sore an emotional wound. She only remembers things in brief flashes and, frankly, she prefers it that way. ]

Hey. I, uh. I'm sorry for the shit that went down in the other city. I've never experienced corruption that quickly before but that doesn't excuse any of what I said.

I am really sorry, Luz.

Re: text | un: sds

[imaglyphwitch]

Oh good, you're all right!

[Of course that would be the first thing Luz said. She was really concerned that Sharon would be, well, DARK Sharon for good].

Don't apologize for corruption! You didn't know that would happen, and it would be really unfair to be mad at you about it!

How are you feeling?

[fogsong]

[ Somehow, Sharon knew this would be Luz's response but it doesn't quell the guilt she feels. ] Honestly? I'm still trying to cope with it all. I ended up going full Beast. Really fucked up some people. Died.

[imaglyphwitch]

Aw, Sharon. I'm so sorry.

I would have tried to stop you, but I'm pretty sure that you would have killed me in that state.

You died?! That's awful! OK, now I'm definitely bringing you...I don't know, some soup or a cake!

[fogsong]

You don't have to bring me anything, Luz, but... Thanks.

[imaglyphwitch]

You've been through a lot, Sharon, especially with that and dying. It's no trouble, I promise!

I remember when I died. It was NOT a fun time.

[fogsong]

All right, if you're sure.

I vaguely remember you mentioning that. It was something from Wesker's world. Mom spoke about that once but she... She had trouble talking about it.

[imaglyphwitch]

I am!

Oh uh. I may have mentioned dying while trying to protect her. That was my first and only death.

I don't regret it of course. The first time I met Rose she was trying to help ME. I'd go to the ends of the Earth for her.

[fogsong]

I know she'd have done the same for you. Mom really cared about you, Luz.

[imaglyphwitch]

I know. She tried, even when she couldn't do much except fight with her body.

I still miss her a lot. I know you do too.

[fogsong]

It's been ten months, you know that?

I go out there sometimes and ask for her to come back. I know it's selfish but... I dunno, I want to be a little selfish. I want my mom back.

[imaglyphwitch]

Wow. Sometimes it feels like it only happened a few weeks ago.

No, I know what you mean, believe me. I do that for a lot of the people I've lost. There are so many sometimes.

[fogsong]

I sometimes get up in the morning and think she'll be there. It happens less and less, though. [ It might be a sign she's healing but she feels awful. ]

Do you think we're selfish to want them back here? Even knowing how cruel this place can be?

[imaglyphwitch]

I know that feeling. I've had it a LOT.

[With several different people who'd left or even cameo'd in her dreams].

Of course not! It's your MOM. I know exactly how bad this place is, and I'd still give my arm to have my mom or Eda be here.

[fogsong]

It's kind of nice to know I'm not alone in feeling this way, Luz. Thanks.

[imaglyphwitch]

No one should have to feel that alone, and I've had it more than I can remember.

Heh, no problem! Sometimes you need that other person to talk to about it, so you don't feel like you're going crazy.

[fogsong]

Hey, if you ever feel alone or need someone to talk to... You know I'm here for you, right?

[imaglyphwitch]

Yeah, I do. And I'm pretty lucky to have you around.

Speaking of friendship...there's something I'd like to ask of you. You know about blood ceremonies, right?

[fogsong]

Like the blood pacts?

[imaglyphwitch]

Well, yes.

I'm kinda having one with my girlfriend, and we're making into a whole ceremony thing. Would you want to be there for that?

[fogsong]

Of course! Of course, I would, Luz!

[imaglyphwitch]

Really? You would?! That's great!

I know blood pacts are not everyone's thing for good reason, but I'm pretty happy with Lexi, and we talked about this before deciding to do this together. So it means a lot if you could come!
