‣ Guardian AU - Soluna

N O T E

After spending weeks writing the Guardian AU, I spent weeks thinking about it, and eventually I decided to write a novel based on it, called Soluna. It basically takes the Guardian AU, removes the Guardian references, and expands the one shot into a novel that are relatively (not that) similar to each other. It's been six months since I started writing Soluna, so I decided to upload a few more teasers in addition to the original preview.

To read Soluna, please send me a private message telling me whether you are a sun or a moon person.

S Y N O P S I S

World War IV has been going on for decades, and it's sending New Nihon into a sea of panic. Luckily, a ray of hope arrives when Takanobu Aoki Denka is born, and the royal physic foresees that the prince will someday end the war.

The problem is, Takanobu cares more about shrimp ramen than his own citizens, and even after sixteen years of scolding, he still has no intentions of changing. Tired of his antics, his parents decide to hire someone else to knock some sense in him - namely, Weiying Zhang, a Chinese soldier bred to be a killer and Takanobu's bodyguard.

Too bad he has no intentions on making it an easy job for Weiying.

M U S I C + C O M M E N T A R Y

Best Mistake - Seaway

when I read the lyrics for this song, I realized this was very Weiying, so that's why I included this song

Centuries (cover) - Vitamin String Quartet

song originally by Fall Out Boy, I thought parts of the lyrics really fit Weiying and Takanobu (for different reasons) but ultimately I added an instrumental cover instead

Elevated - State Champs

I love the State Champs, but the following lyrics is what really made me want to put this song on this playlist: "I'm finally acquiring the state of mind that everything is going to be all right"

Forever Yours - Grayscale

this entire song is a spoiler so have fun with that

I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab for Cutie

did I want to put the For the Foxes cover in the playlist instead? yes, but the original fits the tone of Soluna a lot better so

Love Like This - Recent Rumors

these lines really fit Soluna: "I'll take a leap of faith if you'll be mine / hold onto me, I'll jump tonight / finally I think I'm ready for a love like this"

Make Me a Robot - Tessa Violet

no commentary necessary. if you understand anything about Weiying or Harrison, you'll know why I put this in
