You Deserve to Rest

Reiji is a freelance sound engineer tasked with what should have been impossible, remixing twenty-two songs in time for HoloCon after a last-minute disaster threatens the event. Working alone through sleepless nights, half-empty coffee cups, and forgotten meals, he pushes himself past his limits for the sake of the fans and the idols who poured their hearts into their performances.

Among them is Ceres Fauna; she is gentle, teasing, and unexpectedly attentive. What begins as brief encounters in quiet hallways and recording rooms slowly turns into something warmer, something grounding. As Reiji struggles with exhaustion, responsibility, and a past he isn't ready to face, Fauna becomes the one person who notices and refuses to let him destroy himself for the sake of perfection.

Set behind the scenes of HoloCon, this story follows long nights, soft conversations, and the quiet moments between effort and rest. A story about dedication, burnout, and the unexpected comfort found in someone who listens.

Sometimes, the hardest thing isn't finishing the impossible, it's allowing yourself to rest.

Hello everyone! Thank you for checking this story out, and I know it has been a while since she has graduated but I finally have the courage to release a fanfiction containing her. I have been a fan of her for a while now so unlike my other works this won't be a one shot. I plan to write more chapters for this but it will be slow because I want to write other stories as well. Hopefully you enjoy this fanfiction as well as I did writing it.

The cover I used does not belong to me, I do not claim it as mine. Ceres Fauna is her own person and I did not make her. All rights for the cover and the character of Ceres Fauna goes to their original artist.
