here, so that people will stop kicking me! xD
my first GE fic. a 50-themes-01-sentence on the kaze family.

La Familia de Viento

#01 – Blend
Their mother used to keep their kitchen smelling of coffee, and here in the new world they do the same to keep some feeling of home and of her.

#02 – Stain
Sera spilled some ink onto Thanatos’ favorite shirt once, and he liked it even more.

#03 – Island
The beach, the sun, the alcohol, and not to mention the very pretty ladies... and then Thanatos woke up.

#04 – Apple
The most popular dare in their school was to play ‘William Tell’ with Sera.

#05 – Paper
Folded at the bottom of his drawer is the very first love letter Thanatos ever wrote, which he hopes to find the courage to send one day.

#06 – Relax
When they were younger, on days when the weather was just right, they would go out for a stroll in the park where Sera would paint something new, Thanatos would do laps in the lake, and Raphael would fall asleep watching the clouds.

#07 – Leaves
‘Gently’ isn’t a word that comes to mind to describe reading, but the way Sera turns the leaves of her books, almost reverently, makes you wonder why it isn’t.

#08 – Proof
One would think it ironic that Raphael was named after the archangel of healing and Thanatos after the god of death, but Sera would tell you when she was bullied, it was Raphael gently lifting her from the ground while Thanatos furiously chased down the offenders.

#09 – Ugly
He was six, only six, when he watched an illness take away his father, when he watched his mother run to the arms of a strange man, when he realized that life could get so much worse than sprained ankles and broken toys.

#10 – Book
She had found a manual about guns and their mechanics and, scholar that she was, wanted to experiment... and let’s just say curiosity almost killed a cat.

#11 – Brood
If they found Thanatos sitting in a quiet corner with a dark cloud about his head, they didn’t worry too much because all it meant was that one his pranks hadn’t worked out as planned, but they did worry a little because it also meant he was planning the next one.

#12 – Mesh
She looked up to her brothers, so its no wonder she picked up Raph’s rough gait (though more graceful) and Thana’s lazy drawl (though less whiney).

#13 – Soft
Thanatos and Sera were wrestling on the bed in a total mess of limbs and sheets and curses, and then they heard an unfamiliar sound, so soft they almost missed it, but there it was: Raphael was laughing.

#14 - Shelf
The messiest room is actually hers, with clothes littering the floor, parchment strewn across her desk, and her shelf which houses the things that make up her identity – bullets, brushes and books.

#15 - Alone
His sister greeted him with half-hearted, yet still slightly painful punch to his shoulder when he returned from the Three-Year War, followed by an admonishment to never leave them like that again.

#16 - Fall
She grinned down at him and snorted, “What did you do to piss off the tree roots, Thana?”

#17 - Knot
Raphael taught them how to tie their shoelaces.

#18 - Crowd
Secretly, he envied the way his younger siblings could just blend in easily, while he was left leaning back against the wall where no one would even notice him sigh.

#19 - Denial
Being the trickster that he was, Thanatos also mastered the art of illusion and escapism... he pretended it didn’t hurt and hid the pain behind a joke and a smile.

#20 - Train
Raphael didn’t particularly like fighting, but he’d be damned if he let his younger brother go to war in his stead, so he learned and learned well.

#21 - Fur
A puppy followed Sera home one day, and she was disheartened when Raphael simply stared at it blankly before turning on his heel and walking away... only to return moments later with some food for it.

#22 – Chrome
From the bedroom window, Raphael used to watch the sun rise over the city and slowly chase away the shadows; nowadays he sleeps in.

#23 - Heart
It doesn’t matter that her hair isn’t as light as theirs, or her eyes as dark, Thanatos says she has the spirit of a Kazethyst.

#24 - Intention
Thanatos learned to use daggers by accident; their mother caught him juggling the kitchen knives when he was bored (after which she sent him to learn the healing arts... just in case).

#25 - Push
“Serafina, I said you don’t need to be afraid,” he urged a little less gruffly than before, and then she found she didn’t.

#26 - Look
Their eldest hardly ever speaks, and when he does he hardly has a kind word to spare, but sometimes, just sometimes, they’ll catch that look in his eyes that’s worth more than any amount of words can say.

#27 - Weight
Thanatos tries to show Raphael that he doesn’t have to shoulder the entire burden all the time, but either Raphael is just that stubborn or he himself is just that inadequate.

#28 - Spider
One of Thanatos’ fondest memories is the look on his sister’s face one morning as she came rushing out of the bathroom, screaming about the “bug” he was of course responsible for.

#29 - Robe
A parcel came on Sera’s fifteenth birthday, containing a beautiful nightgown and a short note from the man who fathered her, and both were in the trashcan within minutes.

#30 - Umbrella
Having ignored his sister’s warnings, Thanatos was forced to walk home in the rain without any cover, but he found he didn’t really mind all that much.

#31 – Surface
Reading people was something Sera was good at, because she learned to observe carefully and look past the outer shell.

#32 - Idea
Out of the blue, he turns and says “Raph, I think you need to have more sex.”

#33 - Diamond
Some pompous, arrogant, rich youth suddenly came up to her and offered her a ring, but before she could even threaten to shoot him, her brothers had already moved in for the kill.

#34 - Blind
Most people either really like or really dislike Sera, and most of time she is let down to find it doesn’t really matter either way because neither really knows her.

#35 - Flow
The way they fought would be beautiful if it weren’t for the all blood – powerful yet efficient yet fluid.

#36 - Movement
At night, back when they all used to share a room as children, he watched the rise and fall of their blankets slow to a steady even pace, and only then did Raphael allow himself to fall asleep as well.

#37 - More
They had never been very well-off, but they have love (though rarely voiced), respect and trust, which is more than most can say.

#38 - Honey
For all his crude antics and unrefined mannerisms, when Thanatos sang, for no particular occasion, it was smooth and sweet, and you couldn’t help but be drawn to it.

#39 - Weather
Between the outside unforgiving world and the cage he’s locked it in inside of him, Raphael wonders how much of his heart is left.

#40 - Blue
All Raphael remembers about the first time he got drunk was that the bar walls were blue, the man he got into a fight with was wearing blue, and that he had woken up on their blue couch.

#41 - Double
Tracing the scar along her side, she noticed that her twin in the mirror had a tear running down her cheek.

#42 - Braid
It simply got tiresome to take care of long hair, so one day she borrowed one of Thanatos’ daggers and just chopped off her braid in one swift motion.

#43 - Thread
Raphael enjoyed riding, weaving in and out of the trees, with the feel of the wind on his face and the taste of freedom.

#44 - Angles
Raphael sometimes thinks it would be less painful to not remember his father, but Thanatos always wishes that he did.

#45 - Daydream
Will they ever not be broken?

#46 - Nightmare
When Sera got her first monthly period, Raphael didn’t know whether to be more disturbed about the blood on her trousers or the fact that Thanatos knew exactly what to do.

#47 - Honor
It was never about that, probably never will be, and he’ll readily throw it away if it means he can protect Thana and Sera.

#48 - Palm
So tiny was the hand that pressed against his own, and even as his mother whispered “Please don’t hate her, Raph…” he knew he never could.

#49 - Screen
Twenty-three years old, and yet no matter how many times he tells himself that, he still cries as he presses his forehead against the sheet of wood that separates him from his mother’s body.

#50 - Warmth
Sera’s favorite season is winter because the cold is a good excuse for her press against the otherwise aloof Raphael more closely.

# 5 - *hearts!*

# 18 - *eyes remain heart-shaped*
# 19 - *is considering liking Thanatos too*
# 20 onwards - *eyes have no hope of returning to normal*

Is it just me or do you write a lot better than you used to? Or have I just missed you too much already? :) I'm still glomping you when I get the chance. And this time, it'll be twice as hard and will last twice as long :D Be afraid.

And again: *looks up shyly* Raphael-sama...*paws at you*
