Of masks and dances
Chapter 14: And what is found
In which Kaeya doesn't knows how to take a break and Lumine isscared just a bit apprehensive about all of this, what it means and whether or not she should just run away.
A slower chapter, though there is some spice in there to shake things up. I needed to have Kaeya make sense of what is going on in text, so that the reader can keep up. I do hope the reader can keep up.
Also, Lumine sets things up to run away from her scary feelings, which prompts some conversations. I feel like I've let myself down with writing Lumine, there is more going on with her than I manage to pin down with words, so maybe she comes across weird for a reader. I can't know, because I have very strange feedback from this story, generally positive but it doesn't tells me what people like. It really made me review the way I leave comments.
I wrote that not just because I wanted to remind everyone that Lumine Thirsts, which is actually important for the scene (*gasps*), but because I have that idea about Diluc's chest hair ping ponging around my mind for, what, months now? I need to have someone else worry about that. Next time I'll have you thinking about how muscle is actually soft when relaxed, so his claymore wielder arms and torso would be the best bear hug in existence.
Hm, this here post is gathering its skirts and running away from me. I should do something to bring it to a close.
Well, I have 50% of next chapter written, which is not how things have usually worked since I've gotten to the middle of this fic. Part of it is because I just know where things go right now, part of it is because I had written both couple's windblume specials (lol) in the same chapter then I thought it took away from both and separated them into two chapters. Which means the Dilumi candy comes in chapter 15. I liked writing it, but I'll talk about that next time.
'till then

Mind's-eye candy
I really love describing Kaeya being hot and absolutely abuse Albedo's POV to get this through, though this chapter has the extra moment of Kaeya appreciating Albedo.
Who amongst us doesn't wants pretty scenes lavishly described? I write all those scenes with Kaeya stripping because they amuse me, then I find something to do with what I wanted to write anyway. Catch me throwing some mysteriously bisexual light upon a shirtless Kaeya, like I'm an action movie director.
And then there are things like that one paragraph from Lumine, wait, I'll excerpt it:

She hid her face again, this time because she was afraid everyone would be able to see the memories flashing behind her eyes. That time in the Domain. Then that dance without a song. His lovely sleeping face. His stupid soft hands and his ridiculously silky hair. That T of soft hair in his chest. Damn, she wanted him.
