The Torch Carrier—Child of the Pyre, Child of Death

(yes, more Royalty/Fantasy AU Suga art—so sue me 😤 and apologies for the abysmal gif quality)

(and once again this is gonna be some massive spoiler for anyone actually reading this AU, but like... pls, I can't stop myself)

The Crossed Torches are an old symbol for a gateway to the realm of the dead. Karasuno in particular has a deep connection to death and its manifestation—The Angel of Death, Azrael.

Once every blue moon, the angel, who has no permanent physical form in the realm of the living, chooses to take hold in a human who then becomes their vessel. The vessel provides their body and their soul as new habitat for the angel and offers themselfe as tool for the angel should they decide to take action in the corporeal world—whenever they act, angels usually choose to modify the body of their vessel to reminiscent their ethereal form. In return for hosting the angel, the vessel can use its power and call favors from the entity.

Suga was offered as a vessel by his father, in the hopes of Areal being able to cure his sickness. Not knowing the details and conditions of vesselship, Suga accepted in the hopes of now being able to die. However, it did neither what he nor his father wanted, as vessel ship is a soul-bond under the protection of mother fate and made his live her property (so that fate alone could influence it—he can neither take his live nor can Azrael prolong it). Since then their relationship has been rocky. At first, Suga was angry at Azrael for deceiving him but eventually came to the realization that he now had to make the best of the situation—from there on he quickly learned how to call upon the angel's powers, for example by reassembling the spirits of authors of rare books and make them help him reconstruct their works, translate them from their original languages or teach him in their field of expertise. Over time, Suga has gradually grown into his role as vessel and managed to find a harmonious co-existence with the universe-shaping entity making snarky comments inside his soul. The only things they repeatedly clash over is Azrael's increasing interest in Natsu (and Daichi's adamant dislike of the entity, although Suga is more annoyed with Azrael for teasing his husband than angry).

Hello fellow writer of fanfiction. What's your favorite fanfiction you are currently working on and what was the inspiration for it?

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot this was still in my ask box, I am so, SO sorry >.<

Anyways out of the current ones it is really hard to choose but given that the ask is a bit older I’ll cheat a little and make it “Rise of a King” (on Ao3).

It’s an Alternative Sports AU which I created for the Haikyuu Olympics Big Bang and the inspiration just... appeared - I was torn between this and another pitch but I decided on the IwaOi story because at that time these characters just came to me more easily.

Thanks for the ask and sorry again for forgetting about it ^-^'’

Erm you guys... perhaps you can support me so you all can get access to exclusive illustrations and get a stepping stone for me to publish The lord of gentle swords 🫡
