Well, even after all the years, these two are still pretty much my top OTP. I love their dysfunctional relationship - the uneasy friendship they share, the constant spats they have, and the trust they both share in each other even with all the fights. They're complex and crazy, and I still adore them to pieces. And even after all the FSTs I've made for them, I still had tracks sitting around and more to add...

Anyway! This was done for singustosleep's February challenge - with the theme of OTP, and the art prompt of stars. The covers kinda turned out... hipster looking on accident. Clearly, stars just make things look hipster, haha. And the fic I kinda... slacked and pieced together in a fever last minute, so I'm sorry if it's horrible and disjointed.

BUT YES, I hope you enjoy it, and er, massive spoilers for the game within the fic, just so you know. I'll love these guys forever.

I LOVED YOU FROM THE START ❢ ZELOS/SHEENA FST

( I say I hate you when I love you the most. )

WOW man, this is a fst that really I've been working on and off on for the past few years. Well, really it was just a fst that I never posted and decided to shelve, but I finally got the inspiration to pick it up again.

This was done for singustosleep's January challenge - with the theme of villain, and the art prompt monochromatic. Zelos may not exactly be a villain, but depending on the choices you make, he can certainly end up as one.

tl;dr I still love this guy - Zelos, the man who can be the traitor, the half-villain, and the reluctant hero that you grow to love or hate. He's rather annoyingly complex, so I won't delve into that too much. Just know this FST barely scrapes this guy. I tried to allude to both paths that can be taken with Zelos, although it's a little purposefully heavy on one in particular. And uh, yeah, massive spoilers all over for a 6-7 year old game. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and er, one song is a little Zelos/Sheena, but I'm sure you can pleasantly ignore the references in it...

THE TRAITOR ❣ ZELOS WILDER FST

( You are the traitor, and I am thee. )

So, uh. I wrote. A lot. For a meme. So, uh. Have a massive post? And amazingly, the Hetalia fic is not me fagging over some historical event or something like that for once. /hit Sorry that these are kind crap. :X;
