Akashi: Good day, everyone; I'm Akashi Seijuurou...
Kuroko: And I'm Kuroko Tetsuya, and we are here to bring all of you readers a special announcement.
Akashi: As you all know, this author has spent a lot of effort in this daily challenge of hers. However, due to certain circumstances, schoolwork in particular, she is unable to continue for the next two weeks. This signals the end of what is known as 'Phase One' of this challenge.
Kuroko: This challenge will be suspended for a duration of two weeks, from the 19th of May to the 2nd of June. We apologize for any inconveniences or any hard feelings caused.
Akashi: But do not fear! We will return on the 3rd of June with more action-packed, mind-blowing scenarios that will knock all your socks off. Of course, all of them will include loving moments and snippets of me and my dear Tetsuya, so you must look forward to it.
Kuroko: In regards to the plans for Phase Two, starting on 3rd of June as announced, we have some details regarding the AUs that the author has in plan for everyone.
Akashi: First of course, are the suggestions from the readers. For those who are reading this from tumblr, you might not know that this story is being crossposted to , where the author is accepting suggestions from the readers. However, do be mindful, everyone; that the author wants settings and not scenarios. Unless you scenario is fit for a particular AU setting, of course.
Kuroko: Looking through the requests thus far, the author has decided the following up for the next Phase. The first is from Maejirase-san, who requested for an "Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin" AU.
Akashi: Hold on a minute, Tetsuya. I thought she wasn't going to start on that series.
Kuroko: Apparently, a person she trusts for anime with good storylines recommended it to her, and now she's a fan of the action, the opening song and Rivaille. Though I'm betting the latter has something to do with you.
Akashi: Perhaps. But what's the use of following something that makes you want to puke every time you see a Titan?
Kuroko: And the next request comes from AspergianStoryteller-san, who gave three words: "Steampunk", "Senbon" and... "Toilet".
Akashi: Rather vague, if I must admit.
Kuroko: She has no idea what to do with the latter two, so she is going to try Steampunk.
Akashi: Which may prove difficult since she knows nothing about it. Unless Fullmetal Alchemist falls under that catergory.
Kuroko: Moving on to the next one, Kuro42Neko-san requested for a writer and bookstore AU, which she would accept since they were on her list of backup-themes anyway.
Akashi: She has a lot, by the way. She writes them down on post-its and sticks them on the sliding door of her room.
Kuroko: Next we have one from a guest review, who wants to see me being taller than Akashi-kun after a growth spurt.
Akashi: Ridiculous.
Kuroko: Apparently, she thought it was an amusing idea and decided to go ahead with it.
Akashi: WHAT?!
Kuroko: Akashi-kun, where are you going?
Akashi: Isn't obvious? To murder the author, of course; with my new pair of gardening shears.
Kuroko: Please don't cause trouble for people. And those shears belong to my grandmother; she needs them to prune her bonsai so please do not get blood on them.
Akashi: ... Since Tetsuya asked so nicely of me, I shall bear with it. But if she really does write it, I will not hesitate to kill.
Kuroko: ... Hahh. Moving on... from Akakuro-Fujoshi-san. After that Kindergartener-one we did, she mentioned something about a wedding which the author thought was a good idea...
Akashi: A wedding! Fantastic idea! We should definitely do that one! In fact, why don't we get married right now?
Kuroko: ... Why are getting so high-tension now? It's weird, so please stop it. And I refuse to wear a dress.
Akashi: But why? I already have one right here.
Kuroko: ... Huh?
Akashi: I had it custom-made to fit your curves and very contour of your lovely body perfectly, so you don't have to worry about a single thing!
Kuroko: ... I do not have any curves to speak of. And as much as I'd like to ask how you got my measurements, I shall refrain until later. Next we have.. Oh, this is also from Akakuro-Fujoshi-san. This time, she wants a werewolf AU with Akashi-kun as the Alpha and me as an Omega.
Akashi: Another wonderful idea! I shall remember to toast to you at Tetsuya's and my wedding!
Kuroko: Please, you are exaggerating. Again. Why do I even bother with this idiot?
Akashi: Because you love me, that's why.
Kuroko: ... M-Moving on, the author has decided to do a Mangaka AU, inspired from Mummified-Unicorns-san's story. She has acquired permission to go ahead with it, so that's one that she will definitely do. It's going to be very different from the original, though. And with that, we have reached the end of this segment.
Akashi: Already?
Kuroko: But before we go, there is one last announcement. The author is still willing to accept suggestions from the readers; but keep in mind that your suggestion might not be used, though the author tries her best to prevent that from happening.
Akashi: As they say, the reader is God.
Kuroko: You mean the customer.
Akashi: I decided to change it a little.
Kuroko: And with that, we will be ending this special announcement right now.
Akashi: Already? I still haven't given my proposition to start THE AkaKuro Revolution that is sure to take the world by storm! May the world learn of the wonderful love that is between me and my precious, sweet, adorable...
Kuroko: On behalf of the author, I would like to thank everyone who has been reading this series and supporting it.
Akashi: ... stunning, kind, gentle...
Kuroko: And with that, it is goodbye for now. We look forward to having you here again when Phase Two starts next month.
Akashi: ... amazing, wonderful, angelic Tetsuya! Oh, it's over?
Kuroko: Come Akashi-kun. Let's get you to a hospital. You must have hit your head somewhere.
-END-
Author's note/Reflection on Phase 1
- Akashi was wayyyy too corny in these stories. I wonder what I was thinking. Then again, I always thought he was an idiot for Kuroko.
- I finally got to write an action scene well in the Alien Invasion AU. And I'm a little happy. That one took me three days to complete.
- I need to relook how to do romantic scenes. Apparently, due to my lack of personal experience (as a 19 year-old who hasn't had her first kiss) all the scenes seem the same.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING THIS CHALLENGE FOR THE PAST TEN DAYS! I WILL WORK HARD TO COMPLETE MORE (when I finish my school stuff)
Until we meet again!
