One thing that can be said about Akari Yasha is that her soul touched the darkness much sooner before arriving in Borderlands. The ruthlessness of this world was only meant to reveal what other limits she is capable of crossing with her decisions. For Shuntaro Chishiya, her image remained behind the haze in his mind. Both of them had always fought a fierce battle against themselves, although they held the trigger of the same weapon. Now, years later, the ghosts of their past experiences haunt each other again in the Borderlands, where wits do not follow with humanity. Both keep a close watch on the other's moves, until one of them might be about to throw themselves into the deep waters of this cruel game.

╰┈➤ 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈.. returning on tour was more than a physical journey, it was a pilgrimage to reclaim the parts of her soul lost in the constant spotlight. With bittersweet resolve, she prepared to step away from the life she had meticulously built, ready to search for a new melody that spoke of healing, of authenticity, and of the hope that even the brightest stars sometimes need to find their way back to darkness to truly shine. ** COMPLETED ** 132,528k words !!! <33 (including all A/N's and character intro chapters.)

╰┈➤ 𝐑𝐔𝐊𝐀.. has no idea how she comes off, only that people either avoid her or try to crack her like a code. She doesn't trust either. Which is why, when someone in the Borderlands approaches her without flinching or prying, and just sits near her, she doesn't understand it. It's the beginning of something unfamiliar. Something dangerous. Only, there's something much more dangerous coming for her. Something that can only be named as the King of Diamonds.. ** COMPLETED ,, GO CHECK OUT THE SEQUEL TOO! ** IMPRESSIVE RANKS: 1 in #aib 1 in #doctor 7 in #flowers 19 in #heart

With plenty of struggles, 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀 and 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 made it out of the Borderlands safely. Now their lives are becoming peaceful. At least, as peaceful as life gets with three kids. Chishiya was convinced he'd never experience something worse than being buried alive, but when his youngest daughter 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀 starts to show a little too much interest in Arisu and Usagi's son-𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐃𝐄-, he begins to long for the coffin again. In ancient myths, realms like the underworld are never truly destroyed; they only get put 'to sleep' by powerful anchors- linchpins, for example. So when the linchpin's oldest son gets too close to the everlasting playing cards, he 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 something familiar.

For 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀, all worlds contain dangerous elements- though she might even be safer in the Borderlands; the laws she broke don't apply here. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 knows about her actions all too well. He's not interested in redemption, yet something about her piques his curiosity. Perhaps the fact that her illegal activities affected him on a daily basis. Once they enter the Borderlands, they pretend not to know each other. But both of them are always keeping a sharp eye out. Waiting for the other to crack. Waiting, maybe, for the moment they lose a game. 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 - a vision seen in sleep; a dream Chishiya x OC Alice In Borderland
