《Other Worldly - Magi Fanfiction》Chapter 22 - Reactions

"Wow," Sin commented after I finished my story. It had take a long time, expecially with him inturpting to ask questions. "You've done a lot." I nodded in agreement looking out over the island, over the ocean, out at the sunset. It was a purple pink one, like it was winter, if this tropical island had season besides humid summer.
"Well you know the Adventures of Audria," I commented, leaning up against a pillar of the gazebo. I knew he smiled at my joke, even if I couldn't see his face. He came and stood up next to me.
"I've never understood why you like sunsets so much," Sin confessed, "People say they single in a new beginning. An end to something and the start to something new. With your mind I'm sure there is something like that going through your head."
I smiled an ammused smile. "No, there just pretty," I confessed, "How all those colors can blend together and make something so beautiful, and none is ever the same. But I really don't watch them unless your around." I just told him a detail I noticed only a little while ago.
I heard a little gasp come from Sin. I turned around to face him with a raised eyebrow. "What you just said makes you sound like a human being," my purple haired doesn't friend explained.
"I am human Sinbad," I reminded him of a fact I would have never needed to remind anyone about.
He looked out of the last of the light. Squinting, trying to see what I saw. "I know, just, the way you act makes it seem like you don't," he told me. Once again I was extremely confused. "Whatever you're shouldering you keep it to yourself, and don't ask for any help. Something a human wouldn't do alone. Then you also never seem to see eyourself as good as anyone else. You say everyone is equal, even treat people that way, but for yourself. It's like your constantly out of your territory, as if everyone has something over you. "

" Gesh, when did you get observant? "I asked with sarcasm. I wanted to lighten the heavy mood Sin had created. I was lost in thought of my life on Earth, on how no matter how hard I tried I never could fit in. I didn't want to happen here, so I couldn't get too personal or close.
A hand appeared on my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realize was there. I looked up at Sin. Withing those eyes I felt like I belonged. When he learned the truth about me he was for sure gonna be repulsed by me. I couldn't handle any rejection, so I'll reject him first. "Just tell me what's going on Ady," he pleaded, bring me in close.
I scolded myself for wanting to stay there. I begrudgingly pushed him away and turned my attention back to the horizon. "I can't," I confessed, "I so badly want to, but I don't even know what's going on myself. I'm scared of everything and nothing and I don't know what. Regrets and questions haunt me. I don't know what I'm doing, but everyone expects me to." It felt good to get that off of my mind.
" Did saying that help? "he asked, putting an arm around my shoulder. I reluctantly nodded." If you need someone to talk to you can come to me, I won't tell anyone. "I poked him in the cheek, pushing the perv away from me.
" Thanks, but I'm fine, "I told him with a smile, " I can't function properly without stress. Honestly the thing that I'm worried about is that I'm not stressed, a day I have no idea what to freaking do!"
"Wanna run a kingdom," Sin offered, clearly as a joke.

I laughed at the thought. "I'd do better than you," I teased him.
"It's true!" someone yelled from a distance. We both looked to see eight heads spying on us over the bushes. The eight generals were watching us.
I started laughing, while Sin got defensive and flustered. I can't believe he didn't notice them there. "Don't worry, my friends are over there," I told him. Some magic dispersed to reveal the three of my friends. "And I thought you three learned not to use experimental tools after you switched bodies."
"But this one works!" Mei declared, holding up the invisibility cloak I was making, or more made.
"Oh, and you four can come down," I said up to the roof. Down came Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Hakuryuu.
"Hello Lady Audria," the Kou Prince greeted me timidly.
"How long have you all been here?" Sin asked, confused about everything going on.
"Ten minutes," I pointed to the kids, "Couple hours," I gestured to the generals, "And they followed me," I glared at my friends. Everyone was embarrassed by their actions, except Aladdin and the Fanalis, who don't show any emotion.
"So we weren't alone..." Sin was bummed by this realization.
"I put up a magic barrier so they couldn't hear us," I told them. I saw Son's face eight up at my confession. We then parted ways. I was walking back home with the three of my friends. "So where is everyone else?" I asked, knowing they told rest of AR.
They pulled away the invisibility cloak to reveal the 21 crystal balls in Mei' s arms. I rush of embarrassed greetings came from the magic tools. "Why do I deal with you guys?" I sighed, shaking my head in disappointment.
"Cuase were the ones crazy enough to help you save the world," Yukino said, either guy slung his arms around my shoulder, squishing me between them. "And you can't get rid of us."

8 173The Big Yoink: A Smol Detective Story
This is another fanfic set in the universe of They Are Smol, a delightful series of stories which you should totally go read right now if you haven’t. It’s a sequel to my own The Smol Detective.

The trio stands accused of stealing a sacred relic, and if it isn’t found soon an ancient religious cold war could turn very hot indeed… Formal Disclaimer Type Thing: I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse. TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website should you require more Smol Shenanigans in your life. Which you do, so get over there and read it. The cover art for this sequel again comes courtesy of the mighty Akella, and they deserve lots of headpats from giant aliens because they are awesome.
