Master Detective Archives Rain Code - Tumblr Posts - Page 4

It hasn’t been very long since I began this fic. But I have been absolutely blown away by how much attention it has gotten so far. Like, I’ve gotten so many comments on this, more than any other fics. And everyone has been so nice and excited about the story. It warms my cold, dead heart!

Thank you all so much. I appreciate the support more than I can properly describe.

You know, I don’t think enough people here talk about this artwork that was posted to Spike Chunsoft’s Twitter the day before the game came out.

I mean, look at this!

It’s gorgeous!

And kinda sinister, ngl. Yuma and that little smile and glowing eyes. Love it!

What if I told you that there were two separate games whose’s main characters were purple-haired boys named Yuma?

And now you know.

Come get your food, fans of Yakou Fathero!

And a million thanks to snivy for making this!!! I love it so much!

commission for @draconicsparkle, based on a scene from their fanfic, Safe In The Nocturne!

It’s the silly masked baby’s birthday!!! I hope he is given much cake and love!

But here’s my contribution: a new chapter for He Who Defies Death! This one is a lot more focused on Makoto and he’s given what he desperately needs. I hope you enjoy it!

Surprise surprise! This comes out of nowhere! Listen; the creativity bug bit me this morning and I had the time and motivation to make it into something.

And what is that something? Rain Code fic with the Master Detectives as dragons.

It’s quite fluffy and it’s a one shot. And I hope you all like it!

The almighty duo! Tremble before them.

They are so cute! Thank you so so much!!!

Drew Vivia with Munin based on @draconicsparkle's fic Safe In The Nocturne! This was supposed to be quick and easy and then it turned into anatomy and skin painting practice oops. I just drew an outfit on top of that (didn't feel like drawing his usual outfit this time). Anyway go read the fic it's nice!

Chapter 12 of He Who Defies Death in a nutshell:

Drawn by @hopelilies

Notes and thoughts under read more.

I’ve been so freaking excited to share this with the community! It’s been ready for so long and the time has finally come to show it off!

As said before, I commissioned hopelillies to draw this around when I first began the fic. When I thought of that particular scene, I instantly thought of that one meme and knew I wanted it illustrated. So thank you so so much for making it a reality! I appreciate you so much!

The support this fic has gotten has been unreal. I appreciate everyone who has given my story a try. I have more planned and am stoked to show you what will happen! So please stay tuned!

Also, here’s the meme for those confused:

Who asked for more of the Rain Code Dragon au!?

No one! But guess what? I did it anyway!

So yeah! Want to read some NDA dragons being protective over their Chief? Well I got something for you! Hope ya like!

A scene from chapter 10 of Safe In The Nocturne. A heartfelt moment between a boy and his new dog.

Now gushing time. Isn’t this so stinking cute? This was made by @blanketree101 and I love it to bits! They draw Yuma so cute and Shinigami is adorable too! Thank you again for this!

So I’m a little late to the party, but better late than never! This is for @pixelatedraindrops and is a belated birthday gift for her! Thanks for chatting with me, I really appreciate it.

This takes place in my Twin Detectives au. It’s something that would occur close to the end of the au so I’d highly recommend reading the short series first. The link is in my pinned post on my blog! First one is The Masks I Wear.

But yeah, this is a little extra bit for that series. Hope you enjoy!

Makoto sighed in relief as he stepped off the private jet’s steps and onto the runway. Flying was okay, he supposed. But it was always far better to be on solid ground. Perhaps it would be different if he could have flown the plane himself, but the staff at the WDO constantly went on and on about him not having a piloting license and how it was for his safety and to let his mind rest that they had others control the vehicles while he was on the job. Part of him really wanted to spill the beans about his immortality thing but he ultimately decided to just let it go.

But anyways, he was back from an overseas mission. It hadn’t been too hard. It was fairly easy to go under cover with his young face and body. No one ever saw it coming that the petite, innocent looking kid was the investigator they were fearing. And they would never know. He hid his tracks well and completely. Only a few knew his true identity as Number One of the World Detective Organization.

And speaking of that, he was ecstatic that he could finally see one of them again. His only family, Yuma. It had been a few months since they had last met up and he was practically dying to see his brother once more. That thought put a bit of a skip in his step as he dragged his suitcase behind him to the car that was waiting for him. “Take me to the main office,” he instructed the driver. He didn’t have much to do there, just needing to drop off some files and then he could return home.

He drummed his fingers on his leg as he watched the world go by through the car window. He started envisioning all the things he and Yuma could do once he got there. Maybe they could go out to eat. Or a movie. Or a walk in the park. He wouldn’t mind a conversation about work, so long as it was with Yuma. Anything and everything was good to him.

His thoughts didn’t stop even as he did his necessary tasks at the office and hopped into his own vehicle. Despite how much time had passed and how their lives had been, the two still remained close. Yuma looked visibly older than him due to his ability to age. He appeared approximately ten years older, with long lilac hair and a taller body. But inside, the same kind soul resided. The one that had accepted his biological clone for who he was and even considered him family. Nothing would ever break the bond they had, he was sure of it.

His spirits remained high and even grew once he caught sight of the home. He was nearly bouncing in his seat with excitement as he pulled into the driveway and unbuckled his seat belt. He saw his brother’s car so it was clear that he was at the house. So it was perfect!

He grabbed his suitcase and lugged it up to the front door. He slid his key into the lock and pushed the door open. “I’m back!” he cheerily shouted into the house, eagerly awaiting a reply.

But nothing.

“Hmm? That’s strange,” the homunculus muttered. Typically, Yuma would come rushing out to greet him. But not this time. Had something happened?

With a mixture of curiosity and worry, Makoto walked through the house, checking every room. And he finally found his target in the bedroom, though not how he had expected.

Yuma was on the bed with a laptop on his blanket covered legs. That wouldn’t have been so bad, if not for the dark circles under his eyes, the ragged breathing, and the flush on his cheeks. His hair also looked unbrushed, as if he hadn’t had time to take care of himself.

“Yuma. You look like you haven’t slept for days,” he stated bluntly from the doorway.

The other startled with a yelp, looking towards the voice. He relaxed a bit when he saw his brother there. “Oh, Makoto. I didn’t… realize you were here. Welcome back.”

“Yes, I’m aware of that, considering how focused you were on your work. But back to my original concern. You look terrible. What’s happening?” he demanded.

Yuma glanced away. “Uh… well, I’m slated to take over the Nocturnal Detective Agency from the Chief soon and I’ve been… trying to go through the paperwork and understand how to run it.”

Makoto crossed his arms. “How long have you been at this? And how many breaks have you had?”

The lilac-haired man coughed, then cleared his throat. “Uhh… four days? And… maybe a quick snack break once or twice a day?”

“You… are so unbelievable,” Makoto muttered with an unamused expression as he marched forward. He took the laptop away, closed it, and placed it far enough away that it couldn’t be retrieved easily. “What have I told you? That humanity has limits to what they can do! And here you are, pushing yourself over that limit. I might have a heightened immune system, but you certainly do not!” he scolded as he reached into the closet to pull out another blanket. He spread it over top of his brother’s body, tucking it in and making sure it covered him well.

Yuma smiled sheepishly. “I’m… sorry?”

Makoto huffed as he pushed a second pillow under the human’s head. “You better be. Reflect on this and avoid making this mistake in the future.” He stepped away until he reached the doorway, pausing to point a finger at Yuma. “Now stay put until I get what you need. Got it?”

His brother nodded with a tiny laugh which turned into a cough. This motivated the homunculus to get moving and find what he needed. Medicine, a washcloth, apple slices, and a glass of water were retrieved and brought back to the bedroom. It was relieving to see that the instructions had been heeded and no movements had been made. He handed the medicine tablets to Yuma along with the glass of water. “Take these first. Then I need to watch you eat at least four pieces of apple.”

“Alright, alright,” Yuma conceded before swallowing the tablets with a sip of water. He took one of the slices from the plate on his night stand, nibbling it slowly. “At least we don’t burn the kitchen down when chopping up fruits.”

“Yes, that is true.” Makoto sat on the edge of the bed, bringing the damp washcloth over and draping it across Yuma’s forehead. “Hopefully this developing illness of yours will be halted before it can get worse.”

“Oh? I didn’t know you cared so much,” the human joked as he finished his second apple.

“Only for you,” he replied honestly. “Anyone else I would have just recommended things to. But you get my special attention.” He combed his fingers through the messy hair, gently untangling some of the strands. “So I expect you to get better under my care and attention. Family looks out for each other, and I intend to do that to the fullest extent of my abilities.”

Yuma laughed again as he finished the last bite and got comfortable under the blankets. “You know, technically I’m physically older than you and normally should be the one doing the caring. But here we are.”

Makoto raised an eyebrow. “But you forget that I’m technically mentally older because I have your grandfather’s mind. So I can recognize my limits much easier than you can, as I already have a lived life in my back pocket. But those technicalities don’t matter in this instance. You’re sick and need help. I’m here to help. And that’s that.”

Yuma sighed contently while laying his head down on the pillows, the medicine beginning to kick in. “Okay. Thank you, Makoto. I… really appreciate you, you know.”

This made the homunculus smile. “Yes, I do. I appreciate you, too.” He then hopped off the bed and went over to the light switch. “Now get some rest. When you wake up, I’ll check you again and then we can possibly do something fun together.” He flipped the light off, bathing the room in darkness and closing the bedroom door. He quietly walked to the living room, sitting down on the couch and sank into the soft cushions. This hadn’t been the most ideal of homecomings, but he couldn’t complain too much. Perhaps this was good and that it would hopefully teach his brother to not work so hard for so long. He had a feeling this wouldn’t be common, and that eased his mind. So much, in fact, that he was tempted to take a nap, too. He was a bit jet lagged, after all.

So he closed his eyes and relaxed his mind and body. And when he woke back up, he knew he and his beloved brother would be ready to tackle anything the world threw at them.

Eyooooo!!!

Say hello to our lovely lineup of contributors!

We are extremely grateful to have such an incredible team! Soon, we will release spotlights for each individual member to highlight their talents, so stay tuned for those!

Fun fact. Upside down teru teru bozu’s are meant to summon rain. And for Kanai Ward? Pretty fitting.

Also, AHHHHHH SO COOL!!! Thank you for listening to my ramblings and ideas!!! I love this so much!!!

I drew this based on @draconicsparkle idea of drawing the NDA as upside down teru teru bozus and Makoto as a puppeteer who manipulates them. It was fun drawing Kanai Ward out like a little board game and Makoto smiling all knowing like :3

Spoilers: Unmasked Makoto

It’s the boys!!! Man I missed that AU. Thank you for making this! It’s so cute!!!

Makoto Month

Day 13: AU

This one was inspired by @draconicsparkle s Twin Detective AU I really enjoy this AU. It’s so cute and adorable and it’s interesting to imagine the RC cast in a more modern setting!

So @snivyartjpeg shared their warmup doodles in the discord server of a kokolight vampire au. And I swear, as soon as I saw it, my brain instantly desired to make something based off of it. How could I not?

Not much to say on this honestly. I just wanted to write something fun based on the cute doodles! So enjoy!

Vampires existed. They lived and breathed in the same world as humans. That was an undeniable fact. Yakou knew this and accepted this.

But what he had not expected was for one of his own employees to be one.

His first clue had been a few bloody tissues left in the trash can. As far as he knew, no one had been having intense nosebleeds aside from possibly Desuhiko. But no clients had come to the agency and no… magazines were here. So the possibility of the disguise detective being the bleeder was minimal.

So at that point, he tried to subtly observe his employees a little more.

He instantly ruled Fubuki out as the one hiding their true status, as she couldn’t lie to save her life. Desuhiko was ruled out too, as he was not very good at convincing. So he surely wouldn’t have been able to talk someone into providing blood. And Yuma? Obviously not, as the small rookie detective couldn’t hurt a fly.

Which left two contenders. Halara and Vivia.

This was where the search got a little more difficult. Those two were incredibly guarded individuals, not letting much slip past their walls. They could keep secrets no problem, and their poker faces were solid.

But after some watching, Yakou thought he nailed it down.

Vivia Twilight.

It seemed obvious once he connected the dots. The man always appeared to be sleeping during the day, as vampires were typically nocturnal creatures. His skin was pale, like he didn’t have great blood circulation as vampires tended to suffer from. His ability to be incredibly stealthy when he needed to. And the constant insistence that he wanted to die someday. Perhaps a mindset he got from needing to drain people’s lifeblood to survive.

And in addition to figuring this out, he also discovered who Vivia must have been feeding off of. Yuma Kokohead.

The two of them had gotten close since they started working together. It was fairly common to see them next to each other, whether it be naps, talks, or eating regular food. So he was certainly easy to access as a food source. Yuma also was fairly agreeable and could be convinced easily. He always wore that navy blue scarf, concealing his neck and potentially hiding the bite marks.

It all fit in Yakou’s mind. Surely he had figured it out.

But he couldn’t put the thought to bed until he had concrete proof. So he devised a little scheme.

It had started with sending Halara, Fubuki and Desuhiko out to do some jobs. He also claimed that he had errands to run, so he gave instructions to the last two. “Stay here in the agency and keep watch over the place. If clients come in, entertain them until I return. Understood?”

Yuma nodded with a beaming smile. “We won’t let you down, Chief!” Vivia hummed his agreement from the fireplace.

“Okay then. I’ll be back in an hour,” he told them. Then he left the submarine.

To his credit, he did go do some errands to kill time. But he returned to the sub after half an hour. He knew that by giving them a time frame, they might try something while they believed themselves to be alone with no interruptions. So it was the best time to try and get his proof.

He carefully unlocked the hatch, descending into the hull and turning around. The lights had been turned off, but the sound of clothes rustling was audible. Vampires preferred darkness over light, so this was a good sign. But he needed more information. So he took some sneaky steps towards the room’s opening, until he was just barely hidden. Then he suddenly rounded the corner.

And what he found there had not been what he expected.

Oh, there was a vampire in his submarine alright, but the glowing red eyes and bloody fangs didn’t belong to who he had thought. Yuma’s eyes shone in the dark as they turned towards him while perched on Vivia’s lap. His tongue darted out to lap up a tiny trickle of blood that was dripping down his chin.

Meanwhile, Vivia had been sitting upright on the sofa, head tilted to the side and his neck exposed with several bite marks now on display with his coat off. The lazy detective opened his eyes upon feeling the vampire stop, then caught sight of the flabbergasted Yakou. “Oh, hey Chief,” he called out, acting as though nothing was wrong.

“Wha-? But… I thought… Yuma’s the vampire?!” he managed to exclaim, running a hand through his frazzled hair.

“Uh… sorry? I wasn’t really sure… how to tell you,” the rookie said with an embarrassed tone. “But it’s okay! Vivia helps me with my blood urges, so there’s nothing to fear!”

Yakou rubbed his temples, trying to not get overly upset that his theory had been the complete opposite. “It’s fine, it’s fine. If you got it under control, then I see no reason to worry.” He sighed, then reached for the light switch. “Turning on the lights now. Close your eyes.”

He waited until the red glow vanished from the room, then flipped the switch. He grabbed the grocery bag that he had left near the hatch and entered the room again, ready to discuss things with his employees.

But when he returned, Yuma had somehow vanished from sight. Only Vivia was in the room, busy with tying a dark bandage around his collection of bite marks. “Uh… where’s Yuma?” he asked, very confused on where the rookie had disappeared to.

Vivia smiled. “He gets sleepy after a meal. And… he insists on resting with me.”

Yakou was about to insist on a better explanation when he noticed a new shade of lilac on the taller detective’s hair. Walking closer revealed something quite endearing.

A small purple vampire bat with Yuma’s signature hair antenna was nestled into the green hair. He let out a yawn, then snapped his jaws closed and snuggled deeper into the locks. That, Yakou would admit, was adorable.

“I see. Well, I’ll leave you two to rest, I guess. I’ll try to be quiet,” he told them, then finishing the journey to the kitchen to put the groceries away. He did try to keep his promise, and worked as silently as possible.

Once everything was put away, he peeked into the lobby again. Vivia had retreated to the fireplace, the tiny bat still in his hair. Both looked dead to the world.

That was good, he supposed. Better to let them get some relaxation time while they could before the next big job. And the sight was enough to heal his wounded pride as a detective.

He turned his eyes away from the pair, settling down in his chair and opening the newspaper. Time to get back to business.

I got to meet Kaiji Tang at a convention!!! I told him that the rain code community adored his performance as Yakou Furio and he was so incredibly happy!

Thank you @hopelilies for giving me permission to have him sign one of your art pieces. He loved it!!!

Omg! I hadn’t expected this at all. It’s so cute!!!

That chapter was really fun to write. Thank you for all the tips when it was in progress! And thank you for this surprise! It’s adorable!

“Well now, best we not waste this rare instance of generosity from them.”

I had some free time, so I attempted to try to make some art of @draconicsparkle’s Safe In The Nocturne fic. Obviously I’d only do one for Chapter 8… xD (considering I also ‘kinda’ took part in that lol)

Sorry that I couldn’t draw the rest of the agency. Just pretend they left and are waiting behind that door okay? X’D To give these two a moment alone.

I loved this scene the most. It’s just so sweet! 🥰Your new dad will take good care of you from now on Yuma~ 💕

Did my best to include all the stuff. The extra blanket, the water, the medicine, the soup, the ice pack, and of course, Munin is with him c:

What’s this? Draconic has started writing another au where Makoto is the main focus character?

Yeah, I know. I be predictable. But am I gonna stop? Oh heck no.

So yeah, another story is now in the works! This time, Makoto as an artificial intelligence program that Yuma must help teach to be human! Exciting stuff!

Here’s the first chapter. I hope you guys will like this new au of mine!

Okay, so I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while because I’ve noticed a trend amongst this fandom. So here we go. The poll.

I heard yall wanted more Rain Code vampire au content! Well, it’s your lucky day!

Just like the other one shot, this was an idea that was formed, developed, written and edited in one day. It be like that.

But anyways! Here’s my contribution for Vivia’s birthday. Hope you like!
