The "Be Careful What You Wish For" Meme

[playdate]

Everyone has something they wish for. If we didn't have desires, we wouldn't have hearts. Sometimes we want mundane things: a turkey sandwich sounds pretty good right about now. And sometimes we want impossible things: if only I could make her love me.

Just for today, your heart's desires are granted. Maybe it has something to do with that monkey paw you found at a flea market. Perhaps you've gone on an expedition and returned with some rusty old lamp. It could be a wish on a shooting star, an extinguished birthday candle, or even the work of a good old-fashioned Faery Godparent. Whatever's caused this sudden change in your luck, one thread holds true. It turned out wrong.

Now, your crush loves you so much she's stalking you. You can turn objects into gold with a touch, but all the food turns inedible on your tongue. Everyone's left you alone to read, but you've just broken your glasses. The sandwich is a little dry.

Can you handle getting what you want?
Thread around and find out.

[OOC; So does Isa want to wish?]

Re: Isa (AU) | Kingdom Hearts | ota

[avoidingthemoon]

[yeah, if you don't mind, then I think I've decided on what to wish for. You know how somebody might sometime wish to turn back time? but wishes are a fickle thing, and so... time doesn't turn. nooot exactly in the wanted way, at least. :)

in other words, I've decided to use it as an opportunity to deage Isa. Cause time didn't turn back, only switched older and younger Isa. So now Yin can get to see what was Isa like as a teenager, before he lost his Heart. How about it?]

[tell me if you wanted to have Yin wish for something instead]

I like the idea :)

[real_moon]

[Yin never though that a flower in her hair would be a unique or particularly good idea, yet she did everything she could to pull a single light pink rosebud in her hair, just right over her left ear. But the rose just doesn't like the idea and drop out of her hair again and again and...

[...and then someone knocks the door and Yin leaves the rose as it is, because it's Isa, they talked earlier and agreed on going out for a...no, not for a date, it means to be a meeting with the usual dinner and sitting silently close to each other and talking not too much, and all.]

[Since that kiss happened they didn't talk about it, not even once. Yin was sure that Isa means more to her now than he did before that kiss, and she believed, she would like to believe that she means more to him, too. But they didn't talk about it, so she couldn't be sure about it.]

[She tried to find out what kind of relationship was between them as she went to open the door.]

[ooc: he's his proper age rn, I'll use another account when he deages]

[avoidingthemoon]

[Isa had been standing in front of the door for some time now, but not because he was hesitating, and not even because a moment before he accidently chanced to look at the moon, which through his emotions into disarray. And how could he talk to Yin, if he wasn't sure he wouldn't say anything he abolutely meant not to tell her? So that she doesn't leave his life.]

[no, the core reason for his hesitation was adorning the night sky right now, at it wasn't even the moon. A meteor shower. Like the night before the monsters first appeared, and then, was everything afterwards inevitable or was it his own fault? the various small, easily outrun Unversed first appeared in Radiant Garden. The memory of that night, spent in a very old, too small tent under the peaceful rain of the stars, was crystal clear.

Hey, make a wish. Childish? Nah. Oh, come on. Do it, do it. Come on, look up. It the whole point! Eh, it already fell. Too late. Geez.]

[when Yin opens the door, she might be surprised by Isa's sudden question, with even no hello beforehand] Making wishes on a falling star would be too childish, wouldn't it? Even if there's a meteor shower tonight.

Re: [ooc: he's his proper age rn, I'll use another account when he deages]

[real_moon]

[It's hard for Yin to answer the question, not like it was too difficult but she's still not used to the miracle that the stars are real here and that the falling of a star doesn't mean that someone - maybe Hei - died. Her heart sinks as she thinks of Hei, but she just grits her teeth and her expression softens.]

I don't believe the stars would fulfill wishes, but it's not childish to want something so much that you do even the impossible just to get it.

[She knew there was a meteor shower that night but she couldn't see the stars drawing flowing arches of light to the darkened sky, so she just forgot about it. But it sounded like a teasing idea. She wanted to see the meteor shower, of course, but her real reason of being able to see was Isa.]

Why don't you try to wish something?

[avoidingthemoon]

Ah, so you wouldn't take my side there? Why, it seems I'm outnumbered.

[lightly, letting himself behave as if he was a teenager again - no, as it was a teenager right here, right now, so that Yin could be included in his teenage night camping under the stars as well, so that she, too (but almost for certain not younger than she was now, unless she wanted, as he somehow never imagined her that way, never truly thought of her youth and what she could've been like] I wish for a tent for you and me, and for the same sky as it was some other, similar night. I wish for the same moon that I saw another night, and for a same lake to wash clothes in. Even for the same rain, that made it impossible to light a campfire - a short rain, that only forces one to wring clothes out and then conveniently passes so that one can get warm again. For a cloud in a shape of a spaceship or shape of a goose, as it was debatable.

That's not too ambitious, is it?

[and then he has a strange premonition and looks up - oh, there's this cloud. But for now, nothing else changes, which honestly... shouldn't it be a relief?]

[avoidingthemoon]

[quietly] And I wish to stay here with you, if all of that happens.

1/2

[real_moon]

Just because I don't believe in everything you do it doesn't mean I'm not by your side.

[Isa was not his usual self today, he was light-hearted and cheerful and talkative, and his wish was not ambitious at all, but it was nice and nostalgic and simple - and it was marvelous in its simplicity to the point where Yin thought if only Isa's wish would come true and they could be at the lake where he wanted to return to so much.]

No, it isn't. But you know what happens when somebody holds too ambitious wishes, don't you? It's good you're not like them.

2/2

[real_moon]

I'd like to see that place where you were happy.

ooc: this Isa has a lot of phobias, sorry about that. xD

[avoidingthemoon]

[and then the place around them seems to flicker and change - it's an illusion, Isa realises, familiar with illusions even if they're not his element. Zexion - no, Xehanort acting through possessed Ienzo - trapped him in a very convincing one, once.

And maybe he should even feel grateful for that, he mused bitterly. Protecting himself from that one was the main reason he learned how to clear his mind, in order to see only what his eyes could see, nothing else. To look aroound while discarding the mind's eye, for once.]

[still, this illusion right now - what reason did he have to discard it, after asking for it?]

[and then suddenly, a weird feeling... as if he was about to disappear. Still, he hesitated a little, unsure whether or not this is a part of this pleasant illusion. Maybe that feeling wasn't a trap, but only an introduction to feeling... younger? more whole?

Or was he growing too complacent, that he'd even entertain such a notion when it had to be a trap, a trap---]

Be careful! This might be a trap.

Kurt Hummel | Glee | OTA or m/m for smut

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Hehe this looks amusing.]

[totallynotrobin]

[ooc: Ooh, what would Kurt want? :D]

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt wants Stiles kept safe! LOL (so many ways this could go wrong).]

[totallynotrobin]

[Stiles doesn't even know what happened. But when Kurt gets home, he'll find his husband nowhere to be found - even though his car is in the driveway.]

[rumchocolatesouffle]

Stiles?

[Kurt hollers when he cannot find his husband. He starts looking around more frantically wondering where he could be. He tries his cell phone.]

[totallynotrobin]

[There's a buzzing, and Stiles' phone buzzes, on the couch. There's also a metal can tucked into the cushions, new and foreign.]

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt groans when he sees the sound of the phone isn't to Stiles. He still fishes it out and then looks curiously at the can.]

What's this?

[totallynotrobin]

[There's a small, metallic tap from inside the can, at Kurt's voice.]

[rumchocolatesouffle]

[Kurt tries to get the can open and it slides open. Inside is a plastic piece and a very tiny Stiles jumping around the bottom.]

S-stiles? How'd.. what the..

[totallynotrobin]

Help! [Stiles yells, clearly in tears.] Kurt!

[rumchocolatesouffle]

Oh baby!

[Kurt yelps and stares down at Stiles.]

Baby, don't cry. It's .. uh.. I'll call Scott. I don't know what's going on but your safe- shit.

[Kurt puts a hand to his mouth and feels a sudden sense of dread.]

Kyubey | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[firstcontract]

[did someone say wish :3]

[real_moon]

[As she hears him murmuring her name she hopes that somehow he will remember the future where they know each other and she doesn't have to fight for his trust again, but seemingly Isa still doesn't recognize her. It's a bit frightening, but Isa is here, even if he doesn't remember her, everything will be fine.]

A castle? Who is its owner?
