Hello! It's been a while! I know, I keep dropping updates then disappearing, but now i decided that I should update most of my fics before the upcoming finals kill me!

I had a small vote on my tumblr blog and all votes were for a tuesday update, so here it is!

If you want any updates on my fics, the progress, the schedule, or just want to ask about something, my blog is Akilice. You can check the 'fic update' tag.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this, and have a good day/night!

All of Love stared at the man who has given her life. She hated being in his workplace. The room was full of corpses that he would cut open and experiment on. The smell of death filled the room, with the bodies thrown into wide enough boxes, and the blood dried up on the tools he was using… It made her sick sometimes.

That was how he brought her back to life. He used her corpse, fixed it, made the impossible.

She was reborn as a servamp, an immortal.

Sometimes, she wondered if he was even human. There was no way a human could do such a thing, but while she loved asking questions and getting answers, she didn't want to question him.

She felt uneasy even thinking about it.

She looked at the corpse on the bed, the one he was currently working on.

It was a young girl, she didn't look older than 16, 17 at most. Her hair was white, with a few green locks.

The lilac haired woman frowned.

It was heartbreaking.

"How did she die?" She asked. She knew the answer though, as most people these days either died from sickness, or hunger, some would even turn to cannibalism.

It was a dark age for everyone.

"Sickness." The man answered, as he took off his gloves, sighing. He has been working on her for hours. "Did you manage to recall anything from your past life?" He asked, and she just looked down.

The only thing that she could remember was a sound, the sound of a crying child, and that was it.

"No, nothing." She sighed.

"Perhaps it's for the best. You're having a fresh start." He said. "That scar on your back will heal eventually."

She looked down.

"I guess."

Croix's mind stopped drifting back to the past, as she felt her Eve drop her head on her lap, while Akko dropped hers on her shoulder. She was sitting in peace, watching TV for once.

"Am I your personal pillow now?" She asked, not knowing whether to be amused or confused. The two just let out a content sigh.

"You're so warm." Chariot stated, relaxing.

"Why use the heater when we have you?" Akko stated, snuggling close.

Croix rolled her eyes. It has been getting colder lately, considering winter just started. However, wouldn't it be more convenient to use the heater if they were to move around later? Or did they plan to stick to her the whole day?

"Oh, right. I broke the heater." Akko sighed, as she remembered another one of her victims.

Croix should have seen that coming.

"Akko, why did you have to remind me of that?" The redhead groaned, and the brunette covered her mouth in panic. The servamp of lust just chuckled at their interaction, and found herself stealing glances at Queen, who was sitting alone, reading a book.

She frowned, and looked at the siblings again.

Their innocent and loving interactions and bickering, only made the hole in her heart grow deeper.

Oh, how she would give anything to relive those peaceful moments with her siblings, with Queen, again. She knew that she couldn't undo her deeds, neither could she fix the trust she broke.

Croix then felt someone poking her cheek. She frowned, and looked down to find Chariot staring at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" She asked, pulling the hand away from her face, but keeping it in her hold. She felt the redhead's fingers wrap around it. It was a small touch, but one that brought the tiniest bit of a smile to her face.

"What are you thinking about?" Chariot asked.

"I'm thinking about the fact that I have such an attractive woman on my lap." Croix winked, and laughed when Chariot picked the nearest pillow and hit her in the face with it.

"Get a room." A sleepy Akko muttered.

"Akko!" Chariot scolded, and glared at the lilac haired woman, who just started laughing. She sighed, and her glare disappeared as she smiled at her.

Maybe someday, she could manage to replace the sadness she would constantly see in the servamp's eyes, with something better.

Something happier, that is no longer looking back at the past, but the present instead.

She glanced at Diana, who has been watching them, but quickly turned away the moment she caught the redhead's eyes.

She silently laid back on her servamp's lap, as the wheels in her head started turning.

-L&M-

Chariot let out the longest sigh that Croix has ever heard.

She was stuck with other people's shifts, again. Was this some curse? Did her manager hate her this much? Why couldn't anyone else take them?

Why was it always her?

"I want to commit murder." Chariot muttered under her breath, while Croix raised an eyebrow.

She managed to convince the manager to give her a shift that was the same as the redhead's. The latter wondered how she had such persuasion skills.

What could she say? Being immortal had its perks.

"So, is that an order?" Croix asked, playfully, and the redhead who has come to rant, stared at her with wide eyes.

"No, no… it's not satisfying if i don't do it myself."

"Oh, so you need help with hiding the body?"

"Yes… NO!" Chariot shook her head. "I am not committing murder, but I am thinking about it." She then sighed, and leaned against the counter, keeping her distance so that she wouldn't disturb the servamp's work. "I'm starting to think that the reason he is throwing all this work at me is because he knows I'm desperate."

"You can always find something new." Croix suggested, as she stirred the pot. She would have finished all this a lot earlier, but she preferred to not look suspicious by being… how did Akko call it? Overpowered.

"That's easy to say." Chariot sighed. She watched the servamp put the final touches on the orders. She looked away, tucking her hair behind her ears, before speaking again. "I had dreams for something bigger, you know? And I was close to obtaining them, until what happened..."

The lilac haired woman stopped in her tracks, and stared at her Eve, who was looking at the ground.

When she didn't say anything, Croix frowned.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a soft tone, and the redhead looked at her in surprise, before smiling.

"Yep. Are you?" She asked back, and Croix could swear she saw a sparkle in those red eyes.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know, you tell me."

The lilac haired woman's eyebrows furrowed, as she stared in confusion, before silently handing her the orders.

Chariot kept her smile and gave her a small shrug, before walking away.

What was that about?

She shook her head, deciding to continue working instead of trying to figure out whatever's going on with her Eve's thoughts. She had to admit that working was fun, and it was something that she hasn't done in a long time.

Most of the time, she wandered around, with no purpose or will to do anything.

To think that being around Chariot would change her perspective on a lot of things…

She smiled to herself, and focused again on the task at hand.

Meanwhile, Chariot made sure to get every order as fast as she could, and deliver them to the right tables. There were only a few more coworkers, and at this point, she started to wonder how this place was even standing.

The manager did nothing but tire her, and perhaps if he would do a thing about this whole mess, then she could finally get some rest.

Even Marjolaine was working as much as she could today.

"I want to commit murder." Marjo stated, irritated, once they got all of the orders done and there was no one to serve at the moment.

Chariot sighed, as she felt her best friend rest her elbow on her shoulder.

"Tell me about it." The redhead said, crossing her arms.

"Let's overthrow the manager and rule this place." The rock star announced, making her snort.

"Really? That's the most of your ambitions? Take over a restaurant?"

"I'm already a rock star, baby! Let me expand!"

"I mean sure, go ahead. Who's stopping you?"

"Then, we take over the world."

"Marjo, no."

"Chariot, yes." She said, and the redhead just chuckled and rolled her eyes, before letting her mind wander. Marjolaine noticed it, and knew that it wasn't the first time this has happened today. "So, what are you thinking about?"

"Croix." Chariot stated simply, as she made sure there was no one new to serve. She could feel her friend raising an eyebrow, without even looking at her. "Not in that way." She gave her a jab to the side.

"I didn't say anything!"

"You were thinking it." She stated, before looking at her wrist watch. "We're almost done, for today. What are you doing later?"

"Oh, you know, practicing with the band. What about you?" Her best friend asked, yawning, as she pulled up her phone to play with until the time was up. Her manager wasn't around to scold her, so she didn't see why she shouldn't kill the time. "You can come watch us practice later."

Chariot stayed silent, thinking about the offer, before shrugging.

"Sure." She said, with a smile. "Maybe I could borrow your guitar and show you who's the real rockstar." Marjolaine snorted.

"Yeah, sure. Use it to serenade your girl."

"Marjo."

-L&M-

Lawless was all for chaos, that was a known fact. She would stir all sorts of trouble, steal despite not needing the money, and occasionally beat up some thugs just for fun.

Therefore, no one would expect her -not even herself- to try and fix a disaster that was being cooked.

Yet here she was, anxiously waiting for Queen to leave her classroom so that they could talk.

Of course, she could just break into the class and make a mess out of it so that they could talk but, that wasn't wise. Queen would try to kill her instead of listening to her, and that was the last thing she wanted.

So, she disguised herself in a uniform (don't ask how she got it) and stood outside the room, tapping her foot against the floor.

When the bell finally rang and she spotted cabbages looking hair, she sighed in relief, or at least, until the cabbages moved closer to her.

"Even in a uniform, you still look like a delinquent." Queen stated, bemused at the sight of Lawless, who just scowled.

"Oh yeah? At least I look appealing in it, while you look like an old hag hanging out with the children." She could have sworn that she saw Queen's eyebrow twitching. "We need to talk." Lawless changed her tone, which caught the sin of pride's interest.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Akko launched herself at the sin of Greed, who effortlessly moved out of the way, causing her to fall on her face. Diana sighed, as her Eve quickly stood up and looked prepared for a brawl. "Came to steal more of my friend's stuff? This time I will kick your butt!" Lawless snickered, before crossing her arms and giving her a daring look. The brunette growled in return, throwing a few punches into the air to demonstrate her point.

"Akko, please. You are making a scene." Diana intervened, and made sure to stand between the two. "Lawless and I will have a chat outside."

Akko looked between the two, glaring at the other servamp. She lifted her hand, pointing two fingers at her own eyes before pointing them at Lawless.

"I'm watching you." She mouthed.

Lawless snickered, but Queen grabbed by the arm and dragged her outside before a fight could break out.

"So, what do you want?" Queen asked once they were outside. She caught the curious looks some students were giving too, but gave them no mind.

Anyone would look at Lawless' messy and fiery hair and think trouble.

"Doubt Doubt is here." The servamp of Greed said, and Queen's eyes widened for a moment, before she turned away. "You know how she is. You know how she feels about All of Love."

"There is no need to jump to conclusions."

"Look, I know you like her because she worships you, but the rest of us? We don't." Lawless argued, pointing an accusing finger at the blue eyed servamp, who angrily pushed it away. "She tried to convince us to break All of Love."

The sin of Pride flinched.

The memories of that meeting, from centuries ago came rushing back. The six of them gathered together after they found out about their oldest sibling's crime.

During that meeting, Doubt Doubt said something that shook her to the core.

"We should break her, for breaking our rules."

"Are you insane?" Queen stood up, almost knocking her own chair down. The other servamps looked just as shocked.

"You want us to kill one of our own?" Silence glared at the sin of Envy, who stared back at them with an emotionless expression. "Just like that?"

"Servamps are made to serve humans, not kill them." Doubt Doubt said, and placed her hand on her chest, looking down sadly. "It pains me to even suggest this-"

"No it doesn't!" Lawless growled. "You want this outcome!"

"How dare you?"

"We won't make a judgement without the full truth, so save your energy." Sleepy Ash said, with eyes closed.

"Even if we find out the truth, we're not going to kill one of our own!"

"She'll no longer be one of our own." Doubt Doubt said, catching everyone's attention again. Queen glared at her and clenched her fists. "She'll be a servamp of misfortune."

"Just talk to All of Love, because I know from Silence that your relationship has been dysfunctional." The servamp of greed said, before standing up. "Don't let Doubt Doubt manipulate you, because we both know she's good at that."

Queen stood up as well, looking conflicted. She hated to admit it, but Lawless was right...

"Hey Amanda!"

Both Lawless and Queen jumped back, surprised by Akko who just came out of the bush behind them.

"What?!"

"I'm calling you Amanda!" The brunette pointed at the servamp of Greed, who stared at her as if she grew a second head.

"You can't just give me a name! Do you know what you're doing?!"

"You don't have an object from me, so it's fine."

"Don't call me that-"

"Amanda, shouldn't you go now?" Diana smirked at the look of horror on her sister's face.

"Not you too."

"It suits you."

"It does NOT!"

"You're not so bad now that I spied on you." Akko interrupted them, and the two gave her disapproving looks. "Just don't steal from us again, okay?"

"Whatever." 'Amanda' rolled her eyes, and walked away, leaving the servamp and her Eve on their own.

"Akko." Diana slowly turned to her Eve, and her expression darkened, making the brunette gulp and cower in fear.

"Yes?"

"The next time you spy on me, I will-"

The bell rang, and Akko ran away.

-L&M-

Croix didn't know what to expect when it came to Marjolaine, but she at least expected something more than a messy garage smelling of sweat and old pizza.

She looked in disgust at the pile of clothes sitting in a corner.

"I can see that you and your band are… just as messy as always." Chariot looked around, before deciding to look at her friend and not discover more pollution.

"Eh." Marjolaine just shrugged. "Well, the neighbours think me and the band are a combination of 'visual' and sound pollution, so we decided to only cause one kind by practicing here more often."

"Pollution is one way to describe it." Croix said, looking at the instruments with intrigue.

"Where are the others?" Chariot asked, deciding to help the rock star clean up some of the mess.

"They're going to be late. Said something about traffic." She explained. "Which is good because I have something I wanted to show you!" She grinned, before she walked into another room and came back with something in her arms.

Chariot looked in confusion at the classical guitar that her friend basically shoved into her arms. She stared at it, then back at her friend, whose grin kept widening.

"You've been covering my shifts for a while now, even though you didn't have to, so… I saved some money to get you this as a 'thank you', and I know you enjoy playing the guitar." Marjolaine explained, rubbing her neck and looking away, before continuing. "I know that side of you is still kicking and wishing to get out." She added, almost whispering, as she glanced at the servamp watching them.

Croix didn't miss that last part, but she decided not to voice her curiosity.

"I… Marjo, you're the best friend anyone could ever have." Chariot started to tear up, and smiled gratefully at her friend, who gently punched her shoulder.

"Nah, that's you!" She said, winking. "I've got some things I should take care of, so why don't you try it until I'm back?" She grinned, before walking out the garage.

Chariot sat on one of the chairs, eying the instrument in her hold.

"I didn't know you could play." Croix said, taking a seat beside her. "I like a talented woman." She winked, to which the redhead smiled and rolled her eyes at.

"Flirting will get you nowhere." Chariot said, as her hands wandered, getting used to the guitar. Perhaps she could get a few brushes and decorate it…

"If it gets you to smile, then I'd say it took me somewhere good." Croix said, smirking at the surprised and bashful look she received.

"I could smash your face with this guitar."

"But you wouldn't, would you?"

"Only because it's a waste of money."

"Ouch."

Chariot giggled, and then turned to stare at the instrument once again, before moving her hands over the strings, testing them.

She then started to play it, closing her eyes as she focused on the music. She was a bit rusty at first, having not done this in a long time, but she slowly found herself playing something she felt satisfied with.

She started humming, unaware of the gentle smile that settled on her servamp's face.

"Will the circle be unbroken? By and by, by and by?" She started singing, and Croix's breath was taken away. She stared at her in awe, admiring how soothing her voice was. "Is a better home awaiting, in the sky, in the sky?"

"You have a beautiful voice." Croix commented, once the redhead put the instrument away. She tucked her hair behind her ears, muttering a 'thank you'. She was embarrassed about singing in front of someone.

Chariot glanced at her, before looking down, nervous. She hesitated, but eventually took her servamp's hand, earning herself a look of confusion.

"Croix, I want to talk to you about something, and…" She stopped, taking a deep breath. "Please tell me if I'm crossing a line or making you uncomfortable."

"Okay?" Croix's confusion only grew, and so did her Eve's nervousness.

"I think you should tell Diana, about what happened in the past." Chariot said, and she felt her heart beats fastening, as she watched the servamp's expression darken. "I… I know it's none of my business, but I see the way you look at her and I hate seeing you in so much pain."

The servamp sighed, and avoided her gaze, but she did not pull away her hand.

She hated how obvious she has been, and the fact that she was worrying Chariot.

Truth be told, she has been thinking about it, but she didn't know if she could handle this confrontation. Then again, if Queen were to hate her, it wouldn't change much, right? She already despised her existence.

There was more to it though.

"I know. I just…" She let out a shaky breath, memories of darker times flashed before her eyes. "I'm ashamed." Chariot's grip tightened, and she looked at her with concern.

"Why?" She asked, before touching the servamp's cheek, and gently turning her gaze back to hers. "There is nothing to be ashamed of. Croix, you deserved better, and I think… Diana would think the same."

Croix chuckled, but her tone was humorless.

"I just bring misfortune, Chariot. Everything I touch dies." She said, and her heart ached at the hurt look on her Eve's face. "I'll ruin your life, Chariot. I'm a bad luck charm, if you could call me that."

Just a bad omen… someone who brings death, everywhere she went.

She didn't deserve better.

"You probably noticed already, but I've always been unlucky, probably one of the unluckiest people you'll ever meet." Chariot said, and her other hand pulled away from the grip, to land on Croix's other cheek. "I feel lucky that I met you though, so maybe we could… cancel each other's bad luck." She said, smiling softly.

Croix stared in disbelief, questioning how someone like her could exist.

How someone like her wanted her around.

"If you do try and talk to her, I'll be there, okay?" Chariot whispered, resting her forehead against hers. Croix didn't realize she was shaking, until her Eve's touch grounded her. "I won't leave you."

Croix knew that wasn't true. She was dangerously aware of Chariot's mortality, and the gap between them.

Croix also knew that despite her rational thoughts, she couldn't ignore how her heart fluttered at those words.

Croix knew that Chariot made everything better… and she knew that it terrified her.
