Emotional Support Himbo: Please Don’t Ask How He’s Doing by RoadsideFlower
Fandoms: Soul Eater (Anime & Manga)
26 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
A grief comedy starring one man, one son, and a thousand bad coping mechanisms.
It’s been a month since Lord Death’s passing. Kid, newly ascended and freshly coronated, has thrown himself into work, wearing composure like a mask. He strives to be everything everyone needs: a leader, a symbol, a son who doesn’t falter.
But beneath the surface, the ache lingers. Grief doesn’t fade with duty.
What comforts Kid most is knowing he’s not the only one who didn’t get the memo to move on—and that Spirit, in all his flawed tenderness, offers distraction not to erase the pain, but to make space for surviving it. Usually with bad jokes, worse timing, and hot tea (take that as you will).
And maybe, in helping Kid heal, Spirit might finally begin to forgive himself.

Summary
Gyujin can feel the blood dripping from his lips and he can feel the numbness of his knees, but that means nothing. Nothing, to what he knows. He knows he has the higher power, a hold on the boy before him. He can see the false devotion in Seongjun’s eyes, full of hate and something neither of them can place, and he feels good.
Gyujin knows Seongjun feels the same, he can feel it in the way Seongjun’s body is hot against his, melting into each curve of his own body, the way his hands seem to twitch against his hips, pushing him harder into the wall and taking and taking. He’s insatiable, Gyujin is too so he lets him. Gyujin lets him. And Seongjun knows.
It’s unspoken and it’s real. It’s filthy and it’s perfect. It’s disgusting but it’s theirs.

Summary
They claw toward love like it’s a promise—tattered, trembling, and already slipping through their fingers.
The exiled saint, hiding wounds she never let heal. The rebel forged in fire, burning too bright to hold. The broken predator, desperate for redemption he doesn’t believe he deserves. And the beast in silk and shadow, trembling beneath the weight of what she’s becoming.
They bleed, break, and stumble through ruin, haunted by gods, memories, and monsters that wear familiar faces. Every step forward cuts a little deeper. Every moment of hope is just another way to hurt.
But me? Oh, I’m simply watching.
So much yearning. So much pain.
And in the end?
She still belongs to me.

Summary
Ces textes sont des fragments issus d’un univers original* que je tente de développer depuis longtemps. Ils n’ont pas vocation à former une histoire complète tels quels et font référence à des événements parfois très éloignés les uns des autres : ce sont des scènes isolées, parfois intimes, où j’explore mes personnages, leurs désirs et leurs contradictions. Ils peuvent sans doute être lus séparément, sans avoir tout le contexte ; considérez-les comme des éclats volés à un monde en gestation.
(* enfin, il était original jusqu'à ce que Sapkowski et ses Aen Elle y fassent irruption et saccagent tout sur leur passage...)

Summary
Theo's gaze traveled upward, from the bare feet to the ragged, dirty clothes and, finally, to their face. He heard a soft gasp escape the lips of the other person as realization kicked in.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” Theo spat – yet the voice that unburied these words from under his tongue was not his own.
As his own face looked down at him with a puzzled expression, Theo realized that the voice sprung from his lips – the cadence of every syllable, the rasp turn around each consonant – was undoubtedly, unmistakably Liam’s.(or: the bodyswap fic)

Summary
In a world where Jinx is dead and the people of the undercity worship her like she's some kind of god, Sevika sold her dignity to be part of the council, and Vi can't bring herself to come back to Zaun, Ekko struggles to find his footing after the war. It seems that everyone has moved on, found a purpose to keep them going, and he's the only one that can't bring himself to look at the altars that keep popping up all over the city without crying.
He lets his grief consume him, dictate his life, until one night where everything changes—not just for him, but for the entire undercity, because Janna isn't blind. Piltover doesn't intend for anything to change, and she knows it better than anyone.
Now, in the wake of a new era, where the lines between the spirit realm and earth are blurred, Ekko has to learn how to manage a gift he never asked for with the help of an unexpected teacher.

Summary
The first thing she realizes, upon entering the cell, is that he must be sleeping.
He’s been awake for days— struggled against the chains, nearly tore shackles from the walls on several occasions. The priests brought a blacksmith and a carpenter in to reinforce the foundations and beams after his first night. Three more since then, so it makes sense that his body finally gave out. He hangs from the cuffs. His stature is such that his knees nearly skim the floor now that he’s relaxed and crumpled. The man is large enough that the room feels cramped, despite there being a great distance between her and the wall he’s slack from. Head lolled forward, the rough sack that covers his face hangs more loosely than she’s used to.
He’s masked now. She wonders if she might recognize him if he wasn’t.

Summary
Together, John and Sherlock have quite a history, a journey, a life. The story begins post Season 4 (selective parts of it, anyway) and will move forward as they realise their desires and yearnings, as they make peace with where they have been - and where they are going.
Literal meaning: things that are desired, based on prosaic *Desiderata* by Max Ehrmann, written in 1929, encourages readers to live peacefully and honestly while staying grounded amid life's distractions. It advises maintaining dignity, avoiding bitterness, and appreciating the beauty in both the world and oneself. The poem ultimately offers a message of hope, resilience, and quiet strength.
The poem is included in its entirety is in chapter 1, with a correlating story. Subsequent chapters, grouped to tell a single story line, will incorporate a snippet of the piece.
The final chapter will include a bit of the backstory of the poem and Mr. Ehrmann's career.
