Warning: This is an KanEri fanfiction, and other ships will include TavRis and GemEzi. This is AU, and my own silly creation for wish fulfillment ships that will never be canon. This may contain character death, or mention of character death, in the future, but I'm planning on it. So, if you can handle all that, enjoy!

Chapter one: A New Customer

Kanaya smoothed her dress. It was beautiful. A deep jade color, with a swooping neck, low, but not too low. It swept on the ground, and the sleeves reached down to her wrists. It sparkled and shined, but not overly so. It really was perfect. Her hair was done perfectly, lipstick done perfectly, her shoes were in perfect taste, everything was perfect. It was a master piece, and-
The shop's doorbell rang. She gasped, and rushed out, ducking under a curtain to come up behind the counter.
A young troll stood by the door, looking a little lost and confused. Kanaya stiffened when she saw the fins on his neck, and the purple streak through his hair. Thoughts ran through her head, the same thoughts that ran through her head every time a highblood visited her shop.
Did someone change their mind about me opening a shop? Does someone not know? Will I be culled today? Is this my last day?
He spotted her, and started walking towards the counter. Kanaya did her best to smile in a friendly, yet respectful of her position, way. He frowned a little, and she could feel her smile falter.
"Um, hello." He said. He had a wavy accent, and he didn't sound very sure of himself.
"Hello, and welcome to Jade Clothing and Styles. How may I help you today?" Kanaya asked. She put her hands on the counter, a polite way of showing she didn't have any weapons on her, and looked up and a little to the left of the seadweller, to show she wasn't about to attack and baring her throat in the process. Having highbloods in her shop scared the hell out of her. She was always afraid of missing some piece of etiquette or looking threating or challenging.
"Erm, do you do…repairs?" He asked, shifting. Kanaya blinked. Repairs? On clothing? Wouldn't it just be faster and cheaper to replace the object? Before she could point this out, he opened his mouth again. "You see, it's a very important thing…Well, a few of them actually. They were shredded while I was on a recent…job. They hold…Sentimental value."
Ah. That explained it. Kanaya nodded.
"Of course. I'll be happy to repair it. However, it would be exceedingly easy and much cheaper to simply make a piece of clothing that looks identical. I can do either." Kanaya said. She patted a place on the counter to indicate where he could put his things, and turned around to see what she could use to fix it.
"No, I'd like these repaired. Thank you." He responded. She turned around, and saw him gently place the things on the counter.
A few things stood out to Kanaya. First, were the colors. Purple, cobalt, and…Fuchsia? All right, not surprising for one of his blood color. Next, she decided to see what they were. A cape, and two scarves. Or, that's what they had been, at one point.
"Oh my." Was all Kanaya could muster for a moment. "This is…"
In a word, they were disastrous. They were more shredded than not. Kanaya put her hands on the counter again and leaned over it to inspect the clothing.
"Are you…Are you quite sure I can't make you up something new?" She asked in dismay. She looked up, and he nodded. She sighed and looked back down. She was hesitant to even touch them. And was that…Blood? It was. It was blood that was splattered on the clothing. Purple. Just what on Alternia had he been doing?
"I came here because I heard that you can do stuff like this." He said sharply. Kanaya glanced back up. His lips were set in a straight line, and his eyebrows were descending. He had crossed his arms and drawn himself up. He was getting angry.
"I can do it." Kanaya said quickly. She held up her hands in a defensive position. Don't hurt me, I'm not a threat, see? "It's just that it'll take time. As long as you can wait, I can do it."
"Wait for how long?" He asked. He relaxed a little.
"Say…A few days, I think. Maybe longer." Kanay said, looking down at the cloth. If she could even find the materials, it would take a few days. But she probably didn't have the purple cloth, and she definitely didn't have the fuchsia cloth. The blue scarf would be easy to obtain cloth for. "A few days for the blue scarf and probably the cape. I don't know how long for the scarf, but it's possible I don't have any way to fix it. In that case-"
"You will fix it!" He shouted, slamming his hands on the counter. Kanaya jumped backwards, resisting the urge to put her arms in front of her face. She forced them to stay in front of her torso. She forced herself to keep looking up as well. Not a threat, not a threat, not a threat.
He blinked, and slowly removed his hands from the counter. He looked to his left, focusing on a rack of rust clothing.
"I…You have to fix it." He said, continuing to look at the cloth.
"I understand that this is important, especially coming from a seadweller." Kanaya said, praying her voice didn't shake as much as it wanted to. "It's just that I may not have fabric of that sort. I may need dye that I don't have, or fabric or thread." Or all of the above.
"Yes…I…I see. Thank you, I'll be back in three days." He said. He spun around and quickly walked to the door.
"Wait!" Kanaya said. He stopped with his hand on the door and glanced behind him. "I need a name to put with the order. You know…In case you send someone else to…pick it up…or something…"
Kanaya's voice trailed off. He waited for a moment before responding.
"Eridan Ampora. I like your dress, jade blood." He swung the door open, and stepped out, letting it slam behind him.
Kanaya looked down at her dress. She mentally cursed herself for wearing clothing like that in front of a costumer. Something like that should be reserved for an indigo blood at least, and probably more often for a purple blood.
Kanaya picked up her book where she kept orders and such, and wrote down the name. She set the book down and walked back to her living space. She made herself a cup of tea, and brought it back with her. She opened her book and looked down at the name again.
Kanaya dropped her cup. She knew this name.

Well, here we go. The only non-one-shot story I currently have. It's going to be quite the adventure. I'm really not sure what's going to happen, but I do intend to include all the other trolls. Hopefully, I'm going to make this really good. Things like why Kanaya is still on planet as an adult will be explained in later chapters. Also, this is an AU, and characters will likely be a little OC. I'll try and update on Fridays, but I'm a bit swamped with stuff lately, so it may be longer.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment! Or just comment to tell me how I'm doing. If you like what I'm writing, or want me to write up a one-shot, I have a whole fanfiction dedicated to one-shots between trolls (and humans) and it covers all quadrants. Request a story over there, or here, and I'll write it up as soon as I can get around to it.
