    Summary

    “Beautiful.” Leona murmured against his lips. Idia whined in protest, but he would have to deal with it. He would say it as much as he needed to, until Idia believed it.

    He wanted Idia to believe it. He wanted to say hundreds, no, thousands of nice things to Idia, over and over again, and he wanted him to believe every word.

    Leona knew he could never make up for all the things that had hurt him, but he wanted to try. At the very least, he wanted Idia to know that he was worth that much effort.

    ---

    Four years after dropping out, Leona receives a call for help from Idia Shroud. But Idia isn't the one who really needs it.

    Searched up leona and depression cause I was depressed. This fic helped a lot with improving my mood and putting things into perspective. Leona is really witty, and he has a lot of positive attributes in this fic that gets overshadowed by his mental health issues. It’s really relatable. I enjoyed this a lot

    Summary

    Never let it be said that Leona isn’t prideful.

    And, funnily enough, it is his pride that he takes pride in. It is his pride that has forced him to keep on standing even when everything else about him just wants to lie on the ground and let the darkness swallow him whole. When he just wants to close his eyes and hope they never open again.

    Leona also sometimes curses his own pride, as it has brought him to his own downfall.

    Like right now.

     

    Or, overblot is supposed to be one of the most deadly things a mage can experience, and despite this, Leona continues to play Spelldrive after he overblots. Here's my take on what should have happened.

    Summary

    "You can go," Silver says, gesturing towards the sea. "It was the whole point of coming."

    Sebek gazes out towards the sea, his loose hair rippling in the wind. He always gets like this when he sees the sea. Transfixed, staring at the horizon as the waves crash, mind somewhere so very far away from here.

    Sometimes, Silver wonders if he's lost him entirely.

    Summary

    It hadn’t been the most exciting day of his life (living with Lilia raised some rough competition there), but it was certainly up there. He could, clear as day, remember the feeling of the adrenaline in his veins and the sweat running down his back as his name was called, the excitement and dread and joy of it all, he’d struggled to fall asleep that night after.

    And even despite his sleepless night, he was still up bright and early the next morning, and had what Lilia, who was used to his almost boundless energy, had called a ‘pep in his step’ as he headed off to class. Ready to start his school life, and eager to not miss a single moment.

    The same, of course, could not be said for Sebek.

     

    Or, an AU where Sebek has the ‘sleeping curse’ instead of Silver.

    Yuu narrowed their eyes at him. “Were you sent by Linda? To – I dunno – scare me straight? Because if so, kill yourself.”

    “Um?” said the man. And then his nose wrinkled. “You stink of booze – are you drunk?”

    “Among other things,” they said, waving a hand vaguely. Then, they paused. “I mean. No. Linda, wherever you are, I am so sober. The most sober anyone's ever been, even.”
