you cannot save him. he will always die. you cannot save him. he will always die. you cannot save him. he will always die. you cannot save him. he will always die. you cannot save him. he will always die. ( but i have to try. )
I've seen so many ship polls in my time so I'm gonna do one for
#dancae
just to see what most of us think about their dynamic and compare
🧵 – below (feel free to qrt)
#dancae
🔞 | "sparring"
dan heng could not begin to explain how exactly both of them ended up in this situation.
limbs tangled with one another, dan heng's hand sliding underneath caelus' tank top, exploring every inch of his glowing skin.
#dancae
🍁💫 · slightly suggestive
caelus doesn't understand where his obsession with dan heng's hands came from.
it might've been the way he wields cloud piercer, how his glove flexes around his hand, or maybe his fingers gently stroking the weapon with such care.
#dancae
(slightly suggestive)
dan heng began to notice how pliant caelus gets whenever dan heng so much as compliments him for doing a good job after their excursions.
#dancae
🍁💫 · 🔞
caelus should've known he was gonna end up back in the archives after practically running away last time he was here.
he just didn't expect dan heng to use caelus's newly discovered kink against him so suddenly.
#dancae
[getting together]
— courting rituals, unaware dh
✧
it started with food of all things.
the first few times, caelus thought nothing of it. perhaps dan heng was full and he knew how much caelus enjoyed eating, so he gave his own portions for caelus to eat.
#dancae
🍁💫 | rare visiting hours
(stellaron hunter!caelus AU)
— ✧
"you know," caelus nearly leaped off the chair when he felt the tip of cloud piercer enter his peripheral, whirling around to meet dan heng's glare.
"visiting hours aren't available for stellaron hunters."
#dancae
🍁💫 | tender(?) care
(just a bit of chaos)
— ✧
when caelus burst into the archive covered from head to toe in blood stains, dan heng immediately assumed the worst.
"what did you do!?" he exclaimed as he practically yanked caelus inside.
#dancae
🍁💫 | present for you
(inspired by dan heng's gift message)
— ✧
caelus stared down at his phone screen, rereading dan heng's message again for the sixth time.
well, his gift was a flop. and here he thought he had a good read on dan heng.
I lost the tweet but the post saying that characters with no light in their eyes is good character design has me thinking of the trailblazer losing their light and how that would look like
WAIT HERE ME OUT!!!
con man sampo (as we see in belebog) = fluctuating tones, but still higher pitch
MASKED FOOL SAMPO = DEEPER TONES HENCE THE VOICE CHANGE

#dancae
🍁💫 | they're a 10 but...
(humorous hopefully)
— ✧
march had only posed what was supposedly a harmless question to the boys.
"they're a 10 but they dip their chips in ice cream. go."
#Dancae
🍁💫 | Voicelines about each other
(Part of the Stellaron Hunter!Caelus AU)
— ✧
Caelus ↓
About Dan Heng: "Oh, him! He doesn't seem to like me all that much, which I can understand, but I strive to find out just what buttons I need to push to get him to click, haha!"
#dancae
| adjusting to the old
(sfw a/b/o) · imbibitor lunae
— 🍁
it was...different having to adjust to his original form ever since it was forced out.
for starters, he was no longer a beta in this form but an alpha.
#dancae
🍁💫 | fan the flames
(ft. protective dan heng, mentioned confrontation with an asshole, short)
— ✧
"you know," caelus starts. "I should really be the one upset here, not the other way around."
dan heng's tail whips aggressively behind him, the earlier argument -
a caelus time traveler AU where in a future where the astral express no longer exists, all his friends are gone, he goes back in time where everyone is alive and well. he rejoins as a new member in hopes of preventing this timeline from meeting the same fate as his own.
#dancae
hc that whenever it's just the two of them, caelus would start just talking to himself, as if holding what seems to be a one-sided conversation.
dan heng, confused and quite concerned, would ask him if he was alright.
#dancae
🍁💫 | wonderful timing?
(fluff all around)
— ✧
honestly, caelus probably should've knocked first before just barging into the archives without warning.
"dan heng, have you seen my– oh." caelus faltered upon seeing the archivist quite literally –
#dancae
• crossing the threshold unprepared
— ✧ —
the idea of love was terrifying. it made people irrational and act like fools, two things that are the opposite of what dan heng is.
dan heng thinks he was in love once in his previous life.
#dancae
| avoidances
!! contains spoilers for the 1.2 quest !!
(danmarch and caeyung friendships)
— ✧
so many things happened during the fight that dan heng could barely manage to comprehend or understand his own emotions after it.
#dancae
| happy new year!
–
a gentle knock on the door. "caelus? I'm coming in, hope you don't mind."
dan heng swiftly enters and quietly shuts the door, releasing a sigh while removing his coat.
#dancae
🍁💫 | close calls
(dealing with hyperthermia from overuse of fire)
— ✧
caelus rarely ever experiences terrible hyperthemic episodes as he did back when he first acquired his fire powers nowadays.
he likes to think he's gotten good at regulating his body temperature.
#dancae
🍁💫 | overflowing feelings
(sickfic)
— ✧
dan heng didn't even have to look around the room to know just how much of a mess everything was.
papers blown away in different directions, his blanket floating around the room through his erratic cloudhymn magic.
#dancae
🍁💫 | unsuspecting offering
(a bit suggestive but not to a big degree)
— ✧
"...and then I ran out of coins, but himeko forbade me from buying any more so I went back to the hotel a loser."
"well, she was right to do so." dan heng said over the phone.
#dancae
🍁💫 | we're best friends
(inspired by that tt trend)
— ✧
"so you understand what you have to say, right dan heng?" asks march.
he does, she's made sure to deliver that point with her explanation. it's not his parts that he's worried about.
it's caelus.
#dancae
🍁💫 | you're so warm
(the first time dan heng had initiated a hug)
— ✧
this could not have been better timing, caelus thinks.
"have I ever told you how magical your hugs are?" he tells dan heng, who's plastered himself on caelus, arms snug around him –
#dancae
imagining how they navigate through their friendship at first
it might be because caelus is new to the team and hasn't had the time to properly get to know them all, but he realizes how dan heng keeps him at arms length, never allowing him to get too close
