D. Gray Man Cinnamon Rolls (Updated)

And now I’m crying, and want to write fix-it for something that didn’t happen

“Do it,” Josef says, as Eli stands poised with the Hunter’s seed in hand, hesitation showing painfully clear on his face. “Before I change my mind, Eli!” 

And Eli nods, and swallows what he was about to say, and pushes the hand clutching the brilliant-white pearl into Josef’s chest. He’s in up to the wrist before he checks himself and pulls back, but by that point Josef has gone stock-still, his expression a combination of shock and determination. 

—

When the world ceases being brilliant-white, Nico finds Josef again. She shouldn’t be so surprised to see him bright-white and at odds with the suddenly-dingy landscape, but she is, because Josef has always been quietly ominous rather than blinding opposition. 

Looking at him hurts. 

She’s almost convinced herself that it’s because he’s practically shining, rather than because she is a demon, when he tears a hole in the Veil with a swing of the Heart. 

There’s work to be done, he says. The Heart and I will hold off the demons. I’ll leave the rest to you, Eli.

He steps through the hole, and Nico waits for it to close, and chokes on the words that she does not want to say. She has never wanted to bid Josef Liechten goodbye. 

She is just about to try when she steps halfway back through the hole. 

Are you coming or not?

—

“You know what this means, right?” 

It’s a question that has to be asked, because she’s never completely sure if Eli knows exactly what he’s getting himself into when he takes the first leap. 

This time, though, he knows, and he is still just as determined.

“Of course. Go save the world.” When she doesn’t move, he adds, “Can’t get my bounty to a million standards if there’s no world to set the bounty, after all,” and manages a smile. 

“A hundred years is a long time.”

“Please. I’m Eli Monpress, greatest thief in the world, and I will steal time itself if I have to.” 

He pushes her through the portal after Josef, and it closes of its own volition. 

The last time they see Eli Monpress alive, he is giving them his trademark cheeky grin, and he is trying desperately to hide the fact that his blue eyes are filled with tears. 

———

a/n: Eli’s original plan, before the Lord of Storms provided another out, was to make Josef the Hunter. He must have known that Josef would never have done it without Nico out there at his side. 

He was ready to give up everything he loved for the sake of the world. 

Tell me that’s not sacrifice.

This speaks to My Soul.

This is the best explanation I could come up with for why it takes me so long to do updates sometimes when, at other times, I’m typing them up like clockwork.

My ships do it better??

To all the fanfiction writers out there!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!

I can complain, whine, bitch and moan but in the end you are-

MAGNIFICENT! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!

I swear the hate on gay ships needs to stop

Stop it. Just stop it. In nearly all discussions I’ve had with people about a homosexual ship, I get the response “Not all male/male friends are in love”. No shit Sherlock. Not all male/female friends are in love either.

Stop throwing your homophobic shit at people. Accept the fact gay ships exist, and that they are sometimes in fact canon. Just because I ship two males (and this applies to females too of course) doesn’t mean I’m a “Yaoi obsessed fangirl”.

modern american age accurate school au!

so i was talking with my friend and discovered that if Law was 15 and a sophomore in highschool, Kidd, who’s 3 years younger, would be 12 and in middle school and Luffy, who’s 4 years younger then Kidd, would be 8 and in elementary school

Kidd would totally be that one kid who goes through a goth/punk phase in middle school (that never, ever ends, but he gets better at it later in life) and he probably shops only at hot topic and dyes some of his hair black because it looks cool and also robots are awesome he probably loves transformers

and Law would totally be a hipster that always wears plaid and is always on his phone or something. and he’d also be the guy who draws his logos on EVERYTHING. especially his backpack. and he’d have personally designed clothing with his logos. because seriously all of Law’s clothes and den den mushi and crewmates and his submarine and his CHEST AND BACK and EVERYTHING HE OWNS IN CANON has his jolly roger on it, except his Dressrosa outfit, which has Corazon on the back, which is a reference to both the person and the fact that he’s the captain of he heart pirates so that one also counts. also that Bepo plush was a gift to him from his adopted dad Rocinante/Corazon and he takes it with him everywhere

and Luffy is that dumb kid that Law probably has to babysit and Kidd hangs around because why not. Luffy only has meat in his backpack. nothing else. his teacher (who my friend and i decided was a 35 year old Crocodile) is very very annoyed by this

you will never convince me that Kaladin doesn’t tie his hair up before fighting or training or anything involving a lot of movement, even if it’s never directly mentioned or described. I maintain that he knows how to tie it up securely and will do it frequently. probably knows different hairstyles too! probable gender roles? what are those

Me: Not that I’m a snob but I dont like e readers I like the feel of the paper the smell of a book

Also me: Spends hours glued the phone eyes squinting and red reading fanfiction
