Crosses, Demons and the Holy War: The D.Gray-Man Thread!

pokes dead thread

Hi I am rewatching this and it is my special interest, anyone wanna scream about it with me?

 

screaming whenever a new chapter comes out, atm

it's a bit more confusing than hunter x hunter, which says something, but we're getting somewhere...

 

Ok so does anyone else ship the ot4?
Allen/Kanda/Lenalee/Lavi, I mean. Please yell about my children with me.

 

yesss
i have a convo with @IvyLB somewhere about the dynamics and a fic snippet. lemme dig it up, it's in the files i saved from my tablet...

eta, the snippet until ivy gives me the go ahead to post the convo. fic snippet is allen/lenalee-centric, but lavi and kanda are there too, i promise.

Spoiler: they all sleep in a pile, that's all you need to know

Lenalee let her gaze travel across Allen's back, who was sprawled across the mattress in front of her, drooling into the pillow in his sleep. God knew he needed it. God knew he deserved it. (To Hell with God, but still.). A faint scar from his right wingbone across the spine, from the Level 2 in Wittenberg who had managed to ambush them. Lenalee grinned. That one had gotten a dropkick to the head from her half a second later. A rough, wide one on his left side, that Lavi had told her about, where Allen had taken a hit meant for him. A round on his left shoulder. She remembered that one, Kanda had dragged him back home and unceremoniously dumped him in the infirmary. The wound had not healed properly, he soaked his bandages with his blood for days afterwards. Neither of them would speak about that wound. Prats.
A patchy one just above his hip bone, towards the right side, which he said came from a run-in with one of Cross' experiments.
A narrow gash under his shoulder blade, almost faded, which she didn't know the story of. He always tensed up when any of them touched it. Allen reacted differently to every scar, and Lenalee was unsure if he even noticed. The one he was uncomfortable about, when the steel cable thin muscles under his skin shifted and moved him away form the touch, the barest hitch of a breath, those he did not talk about.
His left hand...
It was black now. Or, no, ashen, rather. Under a perfunctory glance, it could pass as a glove, or the results of an accident of the science division. Or a practical prank. Skin painted with soot and coal, delicately, spanning around that new arm with a care that would not permit any cracks, no matter how abrupt the movement.
One arm for the humans, one for the Akuma, he had said. One for the light, one for the dark? No, that was too obvious. Nothing was ever obvious about Allen (well, except that he was gorgeous). Nothing was ever simple. One for those still alive, and one for the dead? No, not quite. Lenalee shook that thought out of her head. For a second she felt its strands brush across her own back, but the sensation was gone when she considered it. Her hair was short now.
She bit her lower lip. His arm... The old one had not fit right, like a clumsy prosthesis, scaled and scabbed over, rough and uneven, and just a touch too cool. Ridges and bubbles like a boiling sea, frozen in place.
This one... she brushed her fingertips from Allen's neck, over soft, warm, velvety skin of a living human being, and then down his shoulder and onto the ash.
Lenalee did not know what she had expected. For a second she thought the sensation was the same, but... She moved her fingers back up. Soft skin, no matter how much he fought, there was still this youth about him. This time, when she traced her fingers back onto the ash, she was prepared.
It felt like trailing across soft sand, not rougher or softer than his skin, but... different.
Lenalee lifted her fingers, half-expecting a visible trace where she'd touched him, but there was none.
Allen mumbled something and buried his face deeper in his pillow.

 

Oh hell yea post the snippets eta: convo (I'm half asleep oh my god, what are words) lol <>

 

:DDD is excited

 

MY SHIP
let them all kiss

 

I love them all SO MUCH, let them kiss and be happy.

 

The convo, which also happened right after the blurb I posted up there

whimsy: and then kanda wakes up, idk
whimsy: also, kanda totally always groused that lenalee shaking a train of thought out of her head makes him wake up because the hair always fluts over his face
whimsy: he cant bring that excuse any more
IRL - IVES: unless he literally has his nose tucked into the nape of her neck, no
whimsy: and always has his fingers in her hair, because i just decided that hes got a hair kink
whimsy: or fetish or we
IRL - IVES: SDFGHJK KANDA WITH A HAIRKINK MORE LIKE HELL FUCKIN YES
IRL - IVES: does he get people to go longer and longer between haircuts by fussing
whimsy: (kanda going no why would you do that when alma cut his hair?)
whimsy: ahahahhaha yes
whimsy: allen just chops it off after some point because spaaaaades
IRL - IVES: do the exorcists slowly but surely turning into a bishounen hair squad
whimsy: only those hes fucking
IRL - IVES: ye
IRL - IVES: but
IRL - IVES: it's like 'ah yes lavi hasn't cut his hair in five months I know who he's bangin'
whimsy: asdfgh
IRL - IVES: oh my god hair cuts in general are probably like the equivalent of 'YOU ARE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH TONIGHT MISTER'
whimsy: ahahahhaha
IRL - IVES: except from alma who really just wnats to keep his unruly mop contained
whimsy: (allen totally saved a lock of his hair that he put into a locket he shuffles to kanda at some point by sleight of hand)
whimsy: sleigh of hand? sleight of hand? idek
IRL - IVES: asdfghj
whimsy: mad shuffling skills
IRL - IVES: REVERSE PICKPOCKETING
whimsy: does allen somehow manage to get it around kandas neck?
whimsy: without kanda noticing?
IRL - IVES: yes while kanda sleeps
IRL - IVES: somehow
whimsy: while hes awake but otherwise distracted would be funnier and more "how the fuck did that happen"
IRL - IVES: or while kanda meditates for bonus 'how the fuck'
whimsy: eheheheh
whimsy: lavi is twitchy around his eyepatch, kanda is twitchy around his curse mark, allen is twitchy around some scars but not others, what's lenalees uncomfortable part of herself?
whimsy: (also headcanon that the first thing lenalee ditches when shes alone with the boys are her dark boots (at least before they go crystal type)
whimsy: shocked gasps in the beginning because lenalee youre showing your ankles
whimsy: later only lavi does that, and hes doing it for shits and giigles
IRL - IVES: i think it might actually be her feet after the paralyzed legs/crystal-type thing
IRL - IVES: especially because it was implied the nerveendings in her legs were fried by the innocence so she would not have had any feeling in her legs back then
IRL - IVES: so touching them was (and probably still is) a big no no because it's mad weird for someone to touch you without actually being able to feel it?
whimsy: ooh, neck area? which she becomes more comfortable with
IRL - IVES: :D
whimsy: because shes kinda paranoid stuff might show on her neck, and she doesnt want that relationship out in the open
IRL - IVES: nawww
whimsy: after the whole paralysis and crystal type mess shes more open about it tho, who cares what everyone else thinks those idiots are HERS
IRL - IVES: does her brother have ten consecutive heart attacks upon finding a hickey
whimsy: yes
IRL - IVES: komui no
whimsy: she just very calmly tells him to suck it up
whimsy: lavi starts giggling
IRL - IVES: lavi you DICK
whimsy: (its a bit of a stretch for a pun, and based on what fanfiction taught me about how hickeys work)
whimsy: (ooh what if, kanda misses lenalees hair and once she stops being twitchy if someone touches her neck, he basically occupies that spot whenever he can get away with it)
IRL - IVES: sdfghjk
IRL - IVES: it's REVENGE
IRL - IVES: part of why she grows her hair back out is so kanda will stop using her neck as a chewing toy
whimsy: (who jokes about growing magnificent chest hair, and then gets chucked off the bed with a pillow to the face?)
IRL - IVES: lavi
IRL - IVES: DEEFINITLY LAVI
whimsy: (i vote for nea to be awake for that exhcange and just giggling helplessly)
IRL - IVES: (yes)
whimsy: (he later tells allen about it)
whimsy: (gdi canon nea why do you have to be plain fucking evil)
IRL - IVES: (I WILL NEVER ACCEPT THAT)
whimsy: (thats what aus and fanfic are for)
IRL - IVES: (EVER SINCE HIS DYING SCENE HE'S SQUARELY IN TEH CAMP OF CINNAMON ROLL THAT DID NOT DESERVE ANY OF THIS AND WAS ABUSED AND MAIPULATED BY LIKE TEN WARRING FACTIONS INTO BECOMING AN OMNICIDAL MESS)
whimsy: (ooh, nea suggesting they grow chest hair) (allen refuses)
whimsy: ::D
IRL - IVES: i bet allen can't even grow chest hair
whimsy: other people channel their manliness into muscles and chest hair and a magnificent beard, allen channels it into being two guys in a bishonen body?
IRL - IVES: yes
IRL - IVES: the manlier he becomes the smoother his skin and the more perfect his hair becomes
whimsy: and the git is aware of it and not afraid to use it
whimsy: i distantly recall him charming a robot
whimsy: ....
whimsy: if komurin is based off komuis character
whimsy: does that mean that komui and lenalee share a taste in guys?
IRL - IVES: sdfghj
IRL - IVES: i think komurin is based off of kmoui
IRL - IVES: so yes
whimsy: i think lenalee has a hunch that her brother is into guys but it doesnt bother her so she doesnt think much about it, and then it just sort of clicks - does she give komui a dry mock-apology for snatching away all the cute guys?
whimsy: komui nearly chokes on his coffee
whimsy: lenalee just calmly continues drinking hers
whimsy: komui sputters something that might have been a how or a when
whimsy: or a what, for that matter
whimsy: probably all of those
whimsy: lenalee raises an eyebrow
whimsy: continues sipping her coffee
whimsy: while she refills her mug, she says, you have to be a bit more specific about that
whimsy: it takes a while for komui to form actual coherent questions
IRL - IVES: fdfghjk
IRL - IVES: does lenalee set him up with Bak?
whimsy: bak is staunchly defending his heterosexuality, for is laughing her ass off in the background
IRL - IVES: 'I AM NOT INTO DUDES' 'you were really into allen tho' 'EVERYONE IS INTO ALLEN THAT DOESN'T COUNT AT ALL' 'and komui?' 'NOPE'
whimsy: (and then puts her arm around lenalees waist and waggles her eyebrows suggestively, just to see bak sputter)
IRL - IVES: awwwww
IRL - IVES: for and lenalee now that's two ladies I'd like to see macking on eachother if only to make allen die of 'sudden bloodlfow relocation'
whimsy: ehehehehehheheheheh
whimsy: i can totally see for suggesting something in that direction tho
whimsy: although i kinda see fors and allens relationship as pale
IRL - IVES: yeah it is very pale
IRL - IVES: but for is still super attractive and his relationship with lenalee is definitl NOT pale
whimsy: aye
whimsy: might result in a "error, failed to compute"
IRL - IVES: aka a WHY Boner
