Check out Pixelberry's book release line-up for July and August.
Can't wait for the books to be released! I'm especially excited for Book 3 of Desire and Decorum!
Greetings, fellow GiyuShino shippers!
So, I've just been lurking in the GiyuShino tag for a while. But I've become invested in the ship quite some time ago. Haha. But anyway, I just wanted to say that I came across 'Hashira First, Spouses Second: The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU' by Buriko, a.k.a @demonslayedher, and that it's a great read!
I especially had fun reading Chapter 4, which featured their wedding and wedding night. Hahaha. I know that since the fic is rated T, there wasn't anything explicit. Yet, reading it inspired me to write a smut fic of what could've happened on Giyuu and Shinobu's wedding night. Hehehe.
I reached out to Buriko, a.k.a. @demonslayedher, to ask for their permission to post my story. And they said yes! I'm glad that permission was granted, and I'm also excited to share the story!
I actually already posted the story on Ao3. Hehe. So, I am now sharing the story's link here on Tumblr! For my fellow GiyuShino shippers who follow the 'Low-Key Married AU' and want *ahem* more details about Giyuu and Shinobu's wedding night, you might want to give my story a try. Hehehe.
Just a quick disclaimer: The contents of my fic do not necessarily reflect how the storyline of Buriko's story will develop. I tried to make this fic match the source story's tenor and characterization, but I think that I did not quite stick the landing. Hahaha. But all the same, I hope you will still like what I wrote!
Anyway, here's the link to the story and its summary!
Hashira Wedding Night: A Spin-Off Inspired by 'The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU'
Rating: M
Summary:
The softness of the towel barely registers in Giyuu’s mind even as he runs it over his head. His hands go through the motions on their own, with his mind preoccupied with other matters. One specific matter, at that. I’m supposed to make love to Kochou tonight. -- OR A fellow fanfic reader/writer's take on how Giyuu and Shinobu's wedding night went in the fic-verse of Buriko's 'Hashira First, Spouses Second: The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU'.
If you read the fic, then please let me know what you think! Let me know your thoughts in the Ao3 comments section! Reviews, comments, and critiques are most welcome! And also, many thanks to Buriko for granting permission!
Note: I kinda thought of a modified version of the second half of the latest diamond scene with Kamilah. So, here it is. It's rather short. Lol. Hope that you guys like it. :)
Amy's POV
"Can we just be together for a sec?"
Kamilah looks at you intently. "A moment alone?" She steps towards you.
"Yeah." You hold her gaze. "With everything that's happened... and everything that might happen, I just want to... slow down for a moment with you.
She leans closer so that your faces are but mere inches away from each other. "And how would you like us to slow down?" Her voice was low.
"Hold me." You reply in an equally low voice.
She wraps her arms around you, and you rest your chin on her shoulder as your own arms coil themselves around her waist.
Her embrace is tight and protective. That, along with the warmth she emanates, makes you feel safe. You forget about everything else for a brief moment.
You stay together like that for a while.
"I don't want to leave you." You murmur into her neck, quietly breaking the comfortable silence.
"I don't want to leave you either." She whispers in your ear.
She pulls away slightly, so that you're facing each other again.
"But our clan members need me." She begins softly while pulling you closer. "They need someone that they can trust to guide and protect them. Adrian, unfortunately, can't stay. Among all of us, he's the closest to Serafine, so he has to go to Paris with you."
You sigh deeply. "Yeah. I know." You shift your gaze downward.
Kamilah places two fingers beneath your chin, causing you to meet her eyes.
"This won't be the last time we see each other, Amy."
Despite everything, you let out a small laugh.
Kamilah lifts an eyebrow in confusion. "What's so funny?"
You smile at her. "I'm just not used to seeing you so optimistic."
Your response prompts her to smirk. "Well, I have you to blame for that."
You chuckle again before the feeling of dread seeps in again.
You sigh. "This is going to be one hell of a ride."
"That's an understatement." Kamilah cups one side of your face. "But I hope to see you at the end of it."
You lean into her touch. "I hope to see you there too."
You meet together for a kiss - your lips and tongues move against each other deeply and insistently.
You then break away reluctantly. "I'll miss you, Kamilah." You breathe the words against her lips.
"Not as much as I'll miss you, Amy." She kisses you again, more tenderly this time. "Now, let's get you out of here before it's too late."
Together you walk hand in hand and make your way to the airport.
-----
Later, you're inside Adrian's privately-owned building at the airport. His private tarmac is just beyond the glass doors. The tastefully decorated holding area is empty except for you and the furniture.
"Well, I guess this is me." You say to Kamilah who is still holding your hand.
She turns to you and you can sense the worry in her eyes. "Be careful, Amy."
"I will." You squeeze her hand. "You too, Kamilah."
She squeezes back and gently runs her thumb across the back of your hand. She gives you a small smile before letting you go. You smile back at her before you make your way through the automatic glass doors.
As you walk towards the plane, thoughts of everything at stake enter your mind. You start to walk with a purpose - determined to do whatever it takes.
So, Chapter 16 really is the final chapter of BloodBound Book 2. Will we get a Book 3? Let's see.
The dialogue...
The power she exudes... (we got to see the sexy red eyes again!)
Conclusion: Kamilah is one of the best LIs ever!
BONUS:
This is proof that Kamilah is tall! I've always pictured her as being taller than the MC. Hehe.
Hi, all! So, I decided to edit illustrations of Giyuu and Shinobu to make this:

What do you guys think? Hahaha.
Below are the original illustrations:
Note: Hello, again. The idea for this short Kamilah x MC story popped into my mind a few days ago and I wanted to try my hand at writing it. Hehe.
Her hands trembled as she stepped out of the elevator and made her way to the door of Kamilah's apartment.
Before she could even raise her hand to knock, the door swung open to reveal the vampire standing behind it.
"Amy. Come in." Kamilah said as she stepped to the side to let the blonde enter.
"Thanks." Amy made her way inside until she sat herself at the end of the leather sofa in the middle of the room.
She watched silently as Kamilah made her way to the bar.
"Would you like a drink?"
"I'm good. No, thanks."
The mortal watched as the vampire filled one glass with red wine and drank from it. She consumed all of the contents before setting the glass down and shifting her gaze to the blonde.
"Thank you for coming here. I needed to speak with you."
Kamilah walked over to the couch and sat next to Amy, keeping a certain distance between them.
The blonde gripped the leather cushion. "Okay. What about?"
Kamilah took a breath. "I... want to apologize. And to explain."
Amy's eyes widened in confusion. "What?"
Kamilah looked at her with earnest eyes and Amy could see guilt in them.
"I know that I haven't... been paying much attention to you lately. I know that we haven't really spent time together. And I want to apologize for that.
"Ever since we learned that Gauis has returned, I couldn't stop thinking about how we are all in danger. If he succeeds, if he accomplishes all of his goals - the consequences would be beyond anything that we could even imagine.
"I've been so pre-occupied with planning precautions and gathering information... to the point that I've ignored everything else. Including you."
The vampire tentatively and gently placed her hand on top of Amy's.
"I'm sorry."
The blonde let out a relieved sigh that she didn't know that she was holding.
"Kamilah..." she released her grip on the couch to hold the vampire's hand.
"I get it. Don't get me wrong, I really do get it. I understand that stopping Gauis is everyone's top priority right now. So, I can understand that all of you are busy.
"But, I have to admit that the cold shoulder treatment really stung."
"'Cold shoulder treatment'?" Kamilah asked, brows furrowed in confusion.
"It means that you've been ignoring me."
"Ah."
"Listen. I don't mean to sound clingy or anything. It's just that I feel as if I've been forgotten. I know that you're not exactly open in public or big on PDA, but you've been acting as if I'm nothing but a stranger to you." The mortal woman looked down at their joined hands.
"Oh, Amy." Kamilah's voice was laced with regret.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel that way."
A smile started to form on the blonde's face but it suddenly disappeared when she looked up to see that Kamilah was forlornly looking at the carpetted floor.
"What's wrong?" She prompted.
Kamilah briefly looked at their joined hands and pulled hers away and Amy's hand suddenly felt cold.
"I haven't been completely honest with you." She turned away from the blonde completely. "There's another reason for the... 'cold shoulder treatment'."
Amy's stomach suddenly started to curl with dread. "What do you mean?"
The vampire was silent as she collected her thoughts. After a moment that felt like eternity, she met her eyes once more.
"I feel... afraid."
That was not the response that Amy was expecting. "Afraid? Of what?"
Kamilah sighed before moving to stand up. Amy watched as she made her way to the wall-sized glass window.
"I've been alive for more than two thousand years. And I've done many things. Things... that I'm not proud of. Things that I eventually came to regret."
She paused for a brief moment before continuing.
"Some of them are unspeakable. And I wish that there was a way that I could undo them."
She finally turned towards the blonde. Kamilah's face was fraught with both apprehension and sadness.
"You're a bloodkeeper. You have the ability to see every single memory of every single vampire. You are able to witness everything that we ourselves have witnessed. And..."
It was then that Amy understood.
"... I'm afraid. Afraid that you'll hate me for what I had done once you see my memories."
For a while, the mortal could only look at the vampire in surprise and in shock.
The silence eventually became too much for Kamilah to bear. "Amy... Say something." Her tone carried a silent plea.
Her words seem to have awaken the blonde from her stupor.
"Oh, Kamilah."
Amy made her way to the vampire and took the latter's hands in hers.
"Listen to me. Whatever you did before doesn't matter."
The blonde began stroking the vampire's hands with her thumbs.
"Whoever you were in the past is not who you are right now. If you say that you regret the things that you did in the past, then I believe you."
Kamilah's eyes widened slightly in disbelief. "You do?"
Amy gripped her hands even more firmly as a form of reassurance.
"Yes. I do. Because I've seen for myself how much you care about the people close to you. I've seen how determined you are when it comes to doing what you think is right and best for everyone.
"I've seen how good you are, Kamilah. You're strong, brilliant, and you want to do what's right. The Kamilah of the past doesn't matter. The only Kamilah that matters is the one that's standing right in front of me."
The younger woman watched as Kamilah took a shaky and uneven breath. A relieved smile started to form on her lips.
"Amy..." The relief was apparent in her voice. "You have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that." Her smile grew even wider.
The blonde mortal gave a laugh. She closed her eyes until tears started to spill from them.
The vampire noticed and became alarmed. "Why are you crying?" She brought one hand to the weeping girl's cheek.
The woman gave her a watery smile. "Honestly, Kamilah, I'm just relieved that our conversation turned out the way that it did."
"You are? Why?"
"Because I..." she sniffled, "I thought that you called me here because you wanted to end things between us."
Kamilah instantly took the other woman's face in both her hands in response.
"Oh, Amy." She placed a kiss on her forehead. "I would never want that." She looked into her brown eyes. "You mean a great deal to me. And I'm sorry for making you think and feel otherwise."
Amidst the tears, Amy gave her a bright and sincere smile. "You mean a lot to me too, Kamilah." She rested her hands on top of the vampire's. "You mean so much to me."
The two smiled at each other before meeting together for a kiss that melted all their worries, doubts and apprehensions away.
We don't have to wait for long! Yes!
In the tapestry fragment scene of Chapter 5 of Bloodbound Book 3, the group mourns and remembers the MC who had seemingly died after it appeared that the Turning process had failed.
IN THIS SCENE, KAMILAH SAYEED FINALLY ADMITTED AND DECLARED THAT SHE LOVES THE MC!
I'm kinda disappointed that she hasn't said it directly to the MC in person yet, but the fact remains that she loves her!
(You probably dont but..) but do you take like requests or no? I’m sorry if this was weird and out of the ordinary
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I would love to, but due to my busy class schedule, I can't commit to taking story requests. :(
