Arranged marriage in canon verse | angst | Ratio's POV | #ratiorine 🛁🦚 All he could focus on was Aventurine's smile, stretched widely across his face. His stare had never looked this empty - the beautiful magenta and cyan of his eyes now muted.

Then again I also have a story idea for "wardens" where they act as assistants to gods. This is heavily based off of Greek mythology but in modern setting because world population skyrocketed and yeah... some delegations need to be made to maintain balance.

I just thought of a story where it's just double intertextuality of how a band of nobodies slowly end up living the the fate of their stories they're based off of and it's up to them to rewrite their fate or succumb to the ending.

Sorry chat, but I'll let ya'll know if I ever do release a fic of this. Or...if someone out there knows a haikaveh (specifically) corpse bride au kekekekeke

A/N Sorry if the ending was underwhelming. This entire thing was an idea after all since I do plan on making a full blown fic of this someday (+ rewatch Corpse Bride to refresh). It's also like... 2 AM and I haven't finished writing my part + I'm like- demotivated because of my recent grading...

"I now pronounce you, husband and husband!" Nahida announced cheerfully. The entire church roared into celebration as the Underworld's beloved Corpse Bride has finally wedded to someone who loves him ever so fully. [END]

Alhaitham lifts Kaveh's hand to his mouth and kisses it gently. What Kaveh expects to be a hot breath of exhale was merely a chilling breeze. Yet a warmth settles in his chest where his formerly beating heart was. "In death, may we never part, Kaveh."

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"With this ring, I ask you to be mine." Alhaitham holds Kaveh's left hand, sliding the ring Kaveh returned to him back to its rightful place on his ring finger. The emerald gemstone shining with life as opposed to Kaveh's corpse skin.

He leans into Kaveh's ear as he lights the candle in front of them. "As you have been a light to mine." He whispers lovingly to Kaveh who could only blush in embarrassment.

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Alhaitham let's a smug "hmph" "I know what I was getting into. Why else didn't the goddess stop me?" Kaveh looks at Alhaitham wide-eyed. "With this candle," Alhaitham picks up the candle that has gone out during the scuffle earlier. "I will light your way in darkness."

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine." Kaveh tiptoes up to Alhaitham, leaning over to his ear. "I just want you to know, Haitham, that once you complete your vows, you can never get rid of me. I will be annoying, a chaos in your peace. I hope you know what you're getting into."

heart for him and only him? "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows." Alhaitham holds both of Kaveh's hands with his, holding them in fear that Kaveh will push him away for his recklessness. Kaveh reciprocated by holding them back, to reassure Alhaitham that he will allow both their selfishness.

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

my personal space with warmth and light. I don't wish to ever let you go. So please, Kaveh. Allow me to love you as you have loved me with your heart that is more than human." Kaveh is unable to retort and only stood surprised. He wishes to berate Alhaitham, but how can he when he laid his +

and I have no one else but walls and walls of books." "Kaveh, you brought warmth in the peace I surround myself in. A warmth that I have lost a long time ago and denied myself of having in fear of losing someone again." Alhaitham explained. "I can never truly hate you for you have filled +

"YOU RECKLESS BASTARD!" Kaveh hit Alhaitham's chest in fury. "YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT FOR ME!" "Oh? Who said I was doing it for you, Kaveh?" Alhaitham tilted Kaveh's face up. "As selfish as you are, you forgot that I too am selfish. I see no cons in being with you in death for eternity +

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

The startling green eyes have dullen alongside the silver hair that shone in the moonlight. Kaveh brought his hand up to his face, then to his chest, and realized that the life that coursed through Alhaitham was no more. "Why..." Kaveh cried. "You had a whole life ahead of you."

110

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

and gave her a silent nod. Both understood immediately that this was out of his own volition. Alhaitham downed the entire thing in one go. He started to cough horribly before doubling over and coughed out blood. Kaveh was beyond mortified when Alhaitham regained his composure.

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"ALHAITHAM! DON'T YOU DARE!" Kaveh rushes up to Alhaitham who has marched back to the altar with the goblet full of poison in his hand. "DON'T YOU DARE DRINK THE WINE OF AGES! NAHIDA DO SOMETHING-!" The shade goddess could only do so much from her short stature. Alhaitham looked at her +

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"Haitham, you need to move on." Kaveh tries to pry Alhaitham's hand off of him. "I'm dead and you're still very much alive with a future. Besides, bringing me justice that I seek is enough." "Oh? So is me being alive the problem?" Alhaitham questioned. Kaveh realized what he's about to do.

110

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"But what is a life worth living if my happiness disappears before me?" Alhaitham retorted. "Kaveh, as dense as you are for an intellectual who is dead, I am unfortunate to have not met you earlier, to be your love, your happiness."

110

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I want you to live your life to the fullest. To live your life happy." He removes the ring from his finger and gives it back to Alhaitham. Kaveh starts to walk away from the altar but Alhaitham held him tightly by the hand, trying to pull him back.

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"You've done... so much for me Haitham. It- it isn't right that I take you away from the world of the living." Kaveh smiles somberly. "It's only right that you marry someone else. Someone alive. You've got so much ahead of you and-

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Siraj tries to tackle Alhaitham, but in the end gets thrown down instead and was... peacefully apprehended once and for all. "Now, where was I?" Alhaitham turns back to Kaveh, fixing Kaveh's veil and suit. Kaveh stopped Alhaitham's tracks, placing his skeletal hand on his chest.

110

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"Siraj, you and the Akademiya are guilty of several crimes of theft and murder. You are now under arrest. Please remain silent." Cyno approached Siraj to apprehend him. "No...this can't be. IT WAS ALL GOING SO PERFECTLY." Siraj held his head. "ALL FOR THAT- IDIOT BLOND TO RUIN IT ALL!"

110

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

but I had no solid proof at that time to prove the Akademiya guilty for Kaveh's death." Kaveh's eyes start to water a bit (despite being dead). His misplaced jealousy for Tighnari made him guilty, now realizing that Alhaitham doesn't want to run away from him but actually let him rest in peace.

the unwanted engagement but it seems like truth is stranger than fiction." Cyno said. "I've reported Kaveh missing for a long time, but the appeal ended up being a cold case until Alhaitham came by to ask about any missing person cases." Tighnari explained. "I know Siraj had some connection to it +

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"Seeing that you blatantly confessed your crimes of murder and theft, I see no reason to uphold this engagement." Alhaitham glared. "And who would believe you?" Siraj laughed. "You'd be surprised by who." Cyno walks in with Tighnari. "I though Alhaitham had gone mad from +

all of your debt in no time." "Kaveh, just say the word and I'll have him kicked out." Alhaitham hold Kaveh close. "As for you, Alhaitham, aren't you being unfaithful to your engagement with me?" Siraj grabbed Alhaitham's arm that blocked him from Kaveh.

to Kaveh's ear. "You wouldn't want Dori sending the charges to your mother, don't you?" Kaveh walked back in fear. "What did you do..." He seethed. "Nothing much... your father's estate and all of your blueprints sold for a pretty penny with tons to spare, mind you." Siraj chuckled. "It paid off +

"As much as we want to avenge Kaveh, we can't." She explained woefully. "We're in the land of the living and we have to respect that we're just visitors here." Siraj scoffed smugly in victory. "How unfortunate of you Kaveh. Still can't avenge for yourself for all the misfortunes that have +

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"KAVEH?!" Siraj doubles back. "YOU'RE- YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD-!" A collective gasp has been let out by the crowd in horror. Their beloved Kaveh's murderer has been revealed and all were about to jump him for breaking Kaveh's heart. "Hold it, everyone!" Nahida, the goddess shade, protested.

110

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

The church doors slammed open, disturbing Alhaitham's recital of his vows. The couple to be looked over and saw a very pissed Siraj and the rest of the fallen nobility of the Akademiya. "Siraj? Oh, archons it's you-!" Kaveh's dull ruby eyes sparkled a bit (much to Alhaitham's jealousy).

it's some weird delusional motivation to have. Knowing that some 2d fictional men are there who have your back. It's hard to believe in yourself, and knowing that someone out there knows you are trying your best and gave it your all to what you understand, it helps. Really.

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I am doing my best, even if they're fictional, it's quite comforting to have. Knowing Kaveh would hug you or tell you you are trying, Alhaitham saying that it's not the end yet, Ratio encouraging you to improve, Aventurine helping you get some confidence boost or relax (by gambling) +

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Ngl this is just very self-indulgent of me because my confidence in a cultural studies major just dropped at an all time low and I tend to get demotivated when I have low grades (ik it's just a B but man it feels shattering) in fear I might make it lower because Idfk what I'm doing.

to bet on to just live in the moment. After all, what's the point of trying if you're too scared of risks? Aventurine would be trying to get the adrenaline high back in me so I can face writing my paper and have some form of confidence to face Ratio's criticism again if he were to see my drafts.

000

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

because the "bust head" he is referring to is too straightforward for his own good. Aventurine wouldn't care about me, but if it means taunting Ratio, he'd do it to tease him. Aventurine would've probs seen through me and my anxiousness, but who knows? He might offer me a dice to roll with a chip+

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

because there was an attempt made to become more well-rounded. Aventurine would drop in and not care any less, but he'd drag me out of Ratio's office to gamble in a casino or have a drink in a bar. He would've joked about Ratio threatening students again and tell me to relax+

100

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Of course, he'd definitely bonk me on the head for feeling demotivated after being critiqued. But he's continue to encourage me to become better and smarter than the me who first wrote it. Ratio would be too busy to bother much, but he'd say that there's no idiocrasy or stupidity in me+

100

Xaxaloopsy_455 @lost-act.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

On another note, Ratio would've said "ZERO POINTS" upon laying eyes on my paper proposal. He'd point out the mistakes I've done and how I could've overlooked it that bad. He'd be stern, but I guess he'd understand that there is some curiosity to wishing to understand the topic.
