A/N: This one is going to be a little different. Both of these were fic ideas that were just too short, I didn't want to devote a whole chapter to them, so instead threw them together in a tiny drabble collection. Enjoy!

DarkyLoneWolf: I only get a remaster if I didn't already own the game. I did own Dark Souls on PC, but it didn't run very well, and had framerate issues, so I couldn't fully enjoy it, especially when a lot of the action has to be absolutely perfect, and messy framerate can become an issue.

Some Random Dude: I have the PS4 version, and I'm too cheap to pay for PS Plus, so no online for me anyway. Though now that I'm a good half way through my first playthrough, I'm not seeing what everyone else did in DS1. I always hear it's the best one, but it's got a lot of serious issues. No bonfires at all in the completely BS New Londo Ruins? And oh, it's got a ton of enemies, rivaling the Alonne Knights in the Iron Keep from DS2SotFS, great. Maybe this is just a case of the Dark Souls rendition of Genwunners(Gwenwunners?).

And I checked that manga out after your recommendation, though it hits a lot of points I don't really like. Overly dramatic, misunderstandings through eavesdropping, and sort of a blank, stone cold love interest who we're told is interesting, but I'm not seeing it, she's just kinda lifeless and boring. Maybe it got better, but I dropped it after 15 chapters.


With you in Spirit:

Akko had been haunted for a long, long time. She remembered the very moment she had seen the ghost of a girl follow her, as she headed home from they Shiny Chariot show when she was a small child. She never did find out exactly why the ghost was there, or why she was following her. Maybe she'd just been attracted to the large group of people, and all the excitement? Maybe the magic in the air? Akko supposed it didn't matter. What did matter was she seemed to be one of only a handful of people who could see this ghost.

The ghost had followed her home, listening to her ramble on about how she was going to be just like Shiny Chariot some day. But the ghost girl never spoke up. Well, she had, but Akko couldn't understand what was being said. It wasn't even like another language, but something even weirder, otherworldly.

The ghost always looked annoyed at Akko's rambling, but she never left Akko's side, so she supposed that meant the ghost was her friend now. Her parents had thought she'd made up an imaginary friend for such a long time, until they ran into a traveling witch who could understand Spirits. Akko couldn't remember the old ladies first name, but her family called her Mrs. Yanson.

Mrs. Yanson liked to spoil Akko. She said she had a grand daughter who was the same age. But during their meeting, she communicated with the ghost, and for the first time, Akko had a name to put to the girl.

Her name was Sucy.

As Akko grew up, Sucy stayed the same. Following right behind Akko, rolling her eyes and treating her like an idiot, despite the fact that Akko couldn't speak spirit. But that didn't stop Akko from treating her like her best friend, and still, Sucy hadn't left, so she supposed that meant Sucy felt the same.

When Akko made it into Luna Nova, she'd been so excited to be paired up with Lotte Yanson, the very same grandchild of Mrs. Yanson. The two had been paired up, being the only student Coven to only have two members, since there hadn't been another enrollment for them to get a third.

One of the biggest perks about being roomies with Lotte, was that she also spoke with spirits. Finally, Akko and Sucy could have a conversation, even if it had to be through a third party. Sucy had some biting insults piled up, but Akko just laughed, and hugged the air around the ghost, just happy they could talk.

Lotte taught her as much as she could about communing with spirits in the years they attended Luna Nova. Sucy wandered the halls, almost as if she was just another student. She never seemed sure if she was thankful to Lotte for teaching Akko how to speak to understand her, as it seemed to make the Japanese girl talk even more than usual, but Akko could see her smile a lot more often and knew she loved being understood.

Akko also passed a lot more tests when she had a ghost able to whisper the answers in her ear. Sucy had many insults about how a dead girl paid more attention in class than the living one.

Eventually, Akko became an adult. She moved out of her parents place, and went on to become a rather famous performer. And Sucy was there to see it all. "It's just like when we met!" Akko had told her, shortly after her first show. The way Akko had said that made Sucy feel so special, like Akko had done all of that just for her.

And even more time passed. Akko had grown old. She had retired many years ago, leaving the advancement and wow factor of magic to the next generation. She never married, or had any kids, but that didn't mean she didn't have someone she loved, as Sucy was always by her side. When she passed in her sleep just shy of her two hundredth birthday, there weren't many of her friends left alive to mourn her, and those that did knew their own time was short.

But for Akko, dying wasn't a sad thing. Sucy had been dead for a long time, and she was happy! Maybe? Akko could never get a read on that girl.

But when Akko floated out of her body, looking almost two centuries younger, she nearly cried when she was finally able to hug her lifelong friend. "Come on, Suce! Let's go haunt Lotte together!" she had cried out, grasping the girls hand.

Sucy just pressed a kiss to the new ghosts cheek as the floated off into the sunset together.


Ice cream and kisses

To the outside observer, Akko and Sucy had been together for months. For Akko and Sucy, they'd been teasing and playing coy for what felt like years.

Akko wasn't sure when it had started. She'd always found Sucy at least a little bit attractive, ever since that moment they met on the bridge. But one moment she was attractive, and the other, she was so beautiful it was hard to look away from her.

She'd began to make her affections known, doing favors and errands with the mushroom loving girl, who seemed to return some of the affections, going out of her way to be less of a pain in Akko's daily life. But somewhere along the way, the plan to actually tell Sucy about how she felt was left by the way side, as the two began to flirt and push each others buttons, waiting to see who'd crack first.

Sucy would invite Akko out with her everywhere, and Akko would stand close enough that their hands brushed together. Akko would ask how she looked in an outfit, and Sucy's eyes would linger and a toothy smile would appear on her face. Any physical contact lasted much longer than it would have with any of their other friends.

Akko had come close to cracking many times. She wanted to snatch Sucy's hand, scoop her up in a tight Kagari hug and never let go, she wanted to brush her lips against every inch of skin on the pale, violet haired girl. She just didn't want to lose this game first!

But Sucy had been upping the ante lately. Today, she and Akko were mushroom hunting in the outer, more safe areas of the Arcturus forest. But before that, Sucy had taken Akko out for ice cream, as a thank you for the help. And she was taking full advantage of it.

"You're such a messy guinea pig." Sucy cooed teasingly, grabbing Akko by the chin and holding her face still. "You've got Ice cream on your face again.

Akko tried not to shiver in pleasure as she felt Sucy's long tongue sensually rake along the side her cheek. Akko doubted she'd even gotten any ice cream on her face this time. That was the third time Sucy had stopped in their search to do that, and Akko wasn't that messy!

"Oops, missed a spot." Sucy purred, moving to the other cheek. Akko had held strong for months, but this time, something broke inside her, and she could pinpoint exactly when it did. Right as Sucy's tongue grazed the side of her lip, Akko had had enough of this stupid game.

Sucy smirked as she finished the job, licking her lips and sending Akko a suggestive, and toothy, smile. "Delicious." She cackled, and Akko knew she wasn't commenting on Akko's choice of ice cream. Sucy then took a lick of her own, a plain vanilla cone, making to turn away and continue their search for mushrooms when Akko stopped her.

"Wait, Sucy! Y-you have some on your face as well!" Akko laid a hand on the witch's shoulder, cupping Sucy's face with her free hand. Sucy's face was spotless, but that wasn't going to stop the Japanese girl from taking action.

"Oh? Do I?" Sucy teased, knowing fully well she didn't. "Then wipe it off for me, we don't have all day."

That was it. Strengthening her resolve, Akko leaned in, and instead of brushing her tongue across Sucy's keep, went in straight for her lips, laying a not so gentle kiss against them, surprising the other girl.

One kiss turned into many. At some point, Akko had dropped her ice cream to grab a hold of Sucy's arm with her hand, peppering kisses all over the other girl, who had begun returning them with vigor. Months of teasing and hormones on edge, of waiting for the other to crack, and the walls were finally coming down. Before Akko knew it, Sucy was making use of her tongue in other ways, slipping it into Akko's mouth.

Akko suckled on her friends tongue, savoring the mixture of vanilla ice cream, and Sucy's natural flavor. When she felt Sucy tugging at Akko's shirt, pulling it out of her pants where it had been tucked in, Akko decided to use her own tongue, swirling and dancing it in time with Sucy's.

Sucy's hands were busy with other things, having dropped her own ice cream in favor of sliding a hand up Akko's shirt, running along the girls soft skin of her belly, with another looping around Akko's back. She felt Akko's hands entangle themselves in her puce hair, holding her head in pace so she couldn't escape the kiss even if she wanted to, which she didn't.

Just as Sucy's hands began to travel upwards, she shock of it all hit Akko, who fumbled and feel to the ground, pulling Sucy with her. With the exception of briefly separating, the fall didn't stop them, rather it enabled Sucy to climb into the brunettes lap, lapping up kisses as he aim went to unbuttoning Akko's shirt, while Akko's hands rested on her thighs, working up to her rear, where they settled, clamped down tight.

Before either girl knew it, Akko was on her back, her shirt undone and open, exposing her bare chest to the world. Sucy stared, halfway between shock and awe, and cackling, because of course Akko would be too lazy to put her bra on today of all days. The trailed her hands over her friends breasts, settling one hand over Akko's heart, the fast pace of it's beating finally making her tear her eyes away and look Akko in the face.

The two stared at each other, both realizing just how heavy they were both breathing, and how fast their heart rates were. Both were red in the face, and looked at each other like deer caught in the headlights. They weren't dumb, they realized that they needed some lines drawn, or else they'd be crossed before they were even made, and they didn't want to regret any of this, so Sucy stared, silently asking for permission to keep going, or if they should stop.

Finally Akko snickered, and smiled as bright as the sun. "I know you bought me ice cream, Sucy, but you could at least buy me dinner before this goes any farther!" She joked, a sparkle in her eye.

Sucy couldn't help but smile back. "Buy you dinner? You'd eat me out of house and home." a twinkle shined in her own half lidded eyes.

She leaned forward, pressing their chests together, and laid a kiss on Akko's neck. "If I'd known ice cream would get us this far, I'd have bought you a cone weeks ago." She murmured, pressing more kisses against Akko's skin.

"You're hand is still on my boob." Akko reminded her friend, who reluctantly released it from her grip.

Akko stood up off the ground, helping Sucy back to her feet before fumbling with her shirt to get it closed again. "Come on, Sucy, let's head back to school. I think our beds make for better make out spots than the ground does."

Sucy grabbed the girls hands and smirked, "Wait, I wanted to buy you dinner first," she said seductively, earning a playful shove.


A/N: Sorry this took so long to get out, I just lost my mojo for a little bit there, and since I was running so late anyway, decided I'd just take the rest of the week off and write when inspiration came, and low and behold, it worked and I got something out!

I plan on finishing a bunch of half finished ideas I have written out already, and posting them up before getting back to the AUs, since they shouldn't take too long to finish compared to starting an all new chapter.

Now, back to Dark Souls. I still have a long way to go before it's platinumed.
