MIRROR MIRROR
With the sleepwalking curse over, everyone will have some time to rest and recuperate—until Jack Frost comes barging in with news of a clue on how to help his beloved Ice Queen who still remains asleep. The clue was the mirror shard that was in her chest, and there are theories that it may have been a fragment of a much stronger, powerful mirror she had been given some time ago. Problem is, he can't find it nor can he remember who gave it to her. He does, however, have a magic incantation that will allow people to enter mirrors and hopefully find a trace. Unfortunately, this horrendously backfires and we have mirror chaos instead. Dammit, Jack.
More details on everything can be found here. We will request any thread submissions for certain prompts during AC .
I. REVEREIN
It all begins in Reverein, where there's a strange shift in the air upon Jack's attempt to cast the spell. But instead of affecting just one mirror, it reflects off the surface and spreads out to the entire town, hitting every reflective surface instead. Ripples can be seen before the surfaces still, but it's too late. Every reflective surface—glass, mirror, window—is under a different effect because of the botched spell.
And some are being unwittingly pulled into them.
Fortunately It is possible to communicate and even watch people from the other side of the mirror, but it's only through certain mirrors and at certain times. It also will be temporary, so while one mirror might work one time, it may not work again.
A. Strange Reflections. While some mirrors may still reflect proper images, many will have…unusual changes.

🪞 You are what you see. Whether it's an odd hairstyle, change in skin color, or style of clothing in the reflection, suddenly the viewer will look exactly like what's reflected. The most extreme is a different form entirely.
🏡 Glimpses of home. Everyone will have a rare glimpse of their home world, and these can be instances from the past, present, or even a limited future. They are just reflections and cannot be interacted with, and future reflections may be blurry to prevent the person from seeing too much. For those who have memory issues, such visions will also be blurry, but perhaps they can help stir some things…
🔮 Most desired. Mirrors that have a bit of a pink hue to them will reflect the viewer's most desired "thing." It could be an object, person, place, or even a general idea. However, if not careful the viewer may become trapped in a trance and will need to be removed or smash the mirror.


D. The Unknown. Appearing in both the Mirror World and Reverein will be a strange mirror masked, black cloaked figure called "The Unknown." It traverses through the mirrors and through the walls, seeking those with happy reflections and will try to corrupt them with nightmares. People on both sides of the mirrors will be able to confront and try to stop the Unknown, though beware its chocolate attacks.
II. MIRROR WORLD
Everything in this "Mirror World" is, in a word, chaotic. Imagine an AI-generated monstrosity based off of Picasso, Escher, and Dr. Seuss, where everything seems to be upside down, backwards, colors everywhere and nowhere, and everything feels so fragmented that one step feels like walking towards the edge of a cliff. In a way it's nightmarish in an unusual sense, and those inside can feel that touch of "madness" that seeps through the cold air.
Beware the strange creatures in the Mirror World. They are grotesque monstrosities, many of them looking as if they were stitched together from different parts. Fortunately they are susceptible to weapons and dreamotion and those inside the Mirror World will find they are able to use different abilities, especially those with reflective properties.




Only upon finding a mirror that leads back to Reverein, but they will also need help from the outside. Someone from within Reverein must also be there to physically reach in and pull them out—while hopefully not accidentally be pulled in themselves.
shovels more of it on~
In turn, they're all soft for Hiyori, even if they can never be her special one. How could they not be, when she treats them all with such kindness and care? Despite their overzealous enthusiasm earlier. The blond Yato may not have been part of the ritualistic to-do, but he has his own flaws, as she's learning. Selfishness, jealousy... None of them are perfect. Especially not their original. It's silly to think any one of them could replace him. It'd just make Hiyori miserable.
And that's the last thing he, or any of them, wants.
So that when she starts crying a little, his eyes go wide with concern and he flails about a bit, fishing out a tissue from a pocket and holding it up.]
P-Please don't cry, Hiyori...!
[Although it becomes an afterthought as her lips press against his pink (now red) cheek. A stunned silence follows as he tries to process what just happened. H-Hiyori kiss... Ah... ♥ Still flustered, he nods dumbly, one hand coming up to cover the warm spot where she kissed him.]
Y..You're welcome. And... thank you, Hiyori. I'll do my best to make sure he treats you right. [It's the least he can do for her sake.]
yes good more
it just wouldn't be the same as having all of yato's facets. every single thing that makes yato who he is. maybe he'll even get the memory of what she said to this yato about how much she thought about the right choice. how, in the end, she chose him over doing what might've been the right choice. or what everyone tried to tell her was the right choice.
she laughs and takes the tissue, dabbing at her eyes. ]
S-sorry! Hearing how much you care just made me a little emotional. I'm okay.
[ she's spent enough time hiding away... but she wants to finish her soup first because it's delicious. ]
Do you remember being in the mirror? Is there another world in there?
uses a backhoe to shovel it on in there
That's the problem with being a simple double from a mirror, apparently. Never quite able to match up to the person they were created from. It's a depressing state of affairs in reality. Yet he's happy enough knowing that no matter what, Hiyori will have someone dedicated to her. However this turns out.
Hesitating a moment, he in turn pats her head, trying to be reassuring.]
As long as that's all it is. I don't mean to make you cry...
[The question comes as something of a surprise, although it shouldn't. Hiyori is so thoughtful and empathetic. He nods, taking up his own soup again.]
It's a distorted world, with everything topsy-turvy and fragmented. Compared to in there, this world feels... stabler. And oddly whole. Simple, in a way, yet more peaceful. I think that's why we were eager to get out.
mORE
after giving each of them a head pat, she giggles again (a bit wetly) when he's giving a head pat in return. ]
I know. You never do. [ it's reassuring.
then she listens to his world. it doesn't sound pleasant. ]
... Yeah, but... if there are multiple of you, aren't there multiple of me in there... waiting for you to come back?
BRINGS IN THE UHAUL FULL OF IT
But this one is trying. He's doing his best. The others may be fixated on Hiyori this, and Hiyori that, but he's trying to maintain a sense of balance.
As for his world... He shakes his head, slowly. Sadly.]
...no. We weren't just waiting to come out from the mirror or anything. As far as I know, we were created when Yato left the mirror exposed to himself. So there's no Hiyori there because you haven't been subjected to the mirror. That's what they were trying to do earlier - put you in front of it so there'd be Hiyoris like us.
IT'S NOT ENOUGh
but if they can go back to their fragmented world just a little happier... not as lonely...
she bites her lip and grabs his hand. ]
Come on. [ first, she peeks out of the kitchen doorway to see what the other yato are up to. once the coast is clear and they're not paying attention, she sneaks them both to the bathroom and locks it behind her while sighing in relief that they didn't get caught. one at a time. ]
If it's me, I can probably be convinced to go back to help you. Any mirror version of me will be happy, as long as I'm at your side. But... let's test it, first.
[ taking a deep breath, she walks to the mirror and uncovers it slowly so she can see her -- no reflection. at all. what in the--
no reflection turns into a face appearing out of the mirror, hiyori's cloned face, and dressed in
wrestling gear.
she's immediately put into a headlock by her clone. ]
GAH!!
ORDERS AN AVALANCHE THEN
Suddenly nervous at being alone, locked in a small room with her, he wedges himself into a corner so as not to crowd her. This may be a bad idea, but at least he's here to help, should the need arise.]
Yeah, you're always so sensible about these sorts of things. It's really admirable. [Finally, he smiles at her, genuinely. If she thinks they can handle it, he trusts her. They'll manage it okay.] And... thank you, Hiyori.
[It's said with choked emotion, though it's not long before he's choking for an entirely different reason - all of a sudden there's a wrestling-crazed Hiyori manhandling herself. After flailing helplessly a moment, he scrambles to try getting Hiyori number two off of number one.
H-Hey now! There's no need for that! C'mon! Can't we all be friends, here?!
STILL NOT ENOUGh
I'm fine!! Just, ghk! Just cover the mirror!
[ the hiyori not in wrestling gear tells the blond yato, gritting her teeth as she struggles with breaking free, pulling at the arm around her throat to breathe and find a way out of this. remember your training!! ]
Hah, gotcha! Just try and break out of it! I've been preparing for this forever!
[ YEAH, SHE KNOWS. of course, of course wrestling star hiyori would come out first. who would be next? she doesn't want to find out so soon. as much as hiyori did not expect to deal with six yato, she did not expect to be in a wrestling match with herself.
while wrestling hiyori is gloating (unlike her) she's gripping her at the elbow and, without warning, throws over her shoulder and slams her onto the ground with a loud crash before grappling her quickly. ]
Now! Listen to me!!
WEEPS IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
I-I got it...! What do I do, now?!
[He wants to jump in, but damn if he knows where or how to keep things from getting worse. He wouldn't be able to stand hurting either one, and there's so many legs and arms flailing around??]
Hiyori, please! Don't go hurting yourself! If you do that then who's gonna patch her up?!
[Thank the Heavens, the moon, and the stars that Hiyori herself is made of tougher stuff than most humans, let alone girls. Her ability to maintain her cool while being pretzelfied is more than Yato himself would've been able to manage. And he's used to having her wrassle him. Once clone!Hiyori starts to go sailing, blond!Yato leaps out of the way with an "EEP!"
He doesn't want to get caught in between them, nice as being the meat in a Hiyori sandwich sounds.]
Whew... Nice going, Hiyori...!
I AM A YATORI BLACKHOLE
Urgh! Fine! You win.
[ DING DING.
only then does hiyori let up. SLOWLY. carefully, just in case wrestle!her wants to try anything funny. if it's her though, deep down, she'll honor the win and listen. sure enough, there are no sneaky attempts to pin either of them down as she gets back onto her feet, dusts off her clothes, and puts her hands on her hips.
... she's a little jealous. this hiyori seems to have no reservations about loving wrestling. she's even dressed the part with elbow pads and kneepads. ]
Bested by myself! I guess it's better than being bested by someone else.
Hah. [ NERVOUS LAUGHTER. no, wait. ] Just to make sure, but you know you have to go back into the mirror, right?
... Mm. Yeah, I know. I don't want to but-- [ wrestler's eyes trail over to the yato hovering around nervously and her gaze goes softer. ]
So they don't have to do it alone, right? There's five more to go, me. I can hold them down for you.
[ hiyori beams and then turns to blond yato. ]
I think this will work out after all!
I'VE NOTICED LMAO
Even after that little stunt, he's quick to offer wrestling!Hiyori a hand up should she need it, idly straightening out her hair as she dusts herself off. It's a little nerve-wracking to be in the presence of one so devoted to her sports hobby, but at the same time it makes him smile, seeing a path Hiyori could take if she so chose it.]
You okay? Nothing bruised? Didja want a drink of water first?
[He can't help being a little concerned for her - both of her - after seeing them tussle so hard. So enthusiastic! Passionate! He wishes he had her gumption for something beyond practical things like cooking. Although he still has plenty of love for Hiyori, as proven when the double's eyes settle on him and make him blush shyly. Still, he returns it with a smile. Hiyori is Hiyori, whatever aspect of her is most prominent.
He shifts to face the original and gives a happy nod, a little rainbow forming behind him.]
I think you're right. Thank you so much, Hiyori...
heh 🌟
I, I'm fine. Let's... just go home.
[ yep, still hiyori. deep down, just like all the others are still yato. after batting him away, wrestleyori squeezes blondato's hand while staring at her sneakered feet.
realyori smiles gently at the happy nod and that rainbow behind him. one down. it'll be sad, in a way, to see them all leave. they can all be assured they won't have to do it alone, though. not a single one. ]
Okay! Who's next?
[ BACK TO THE MIRROR.
it isn't long before there are just as many hiyoris as there are yato. it's very cramped in the bathroom. they'll have to do this in pairs. there's a more NYAyori with cat ears to go with her cat tail and many cat puns. there's doctor hiyori, in a white coat and stethoscope. there's traditional hiyori, in a kimono and looking very reserved. she and military yato would get along. there's idol hiyori, inspired by yato's bodily possessions she assumes. finally, there's (and perhaps the MOST EMBARRASSING) - what she can only call devout hiyori. her darkest not!secret.
she's pretty sure yato will get a GOOD KICK out of the "YATOGAMI LOVE" headband she wears. as well as the shirt she wears with his FLIRTY WINKING FACE PLASTERED ON IT. all the other hiyoris can hardly bear to look at her without going BRIGHT FUCKING RED, too.
they stand shoulder to shoulder before hiyori stands on the toilet, clapping to get everyone's attention. ]
Alright!! Now that you're all here, you know your mission. Pair up with one of the Yato outside!
[ they all give affirming responses (especially YATO LOVE hiyori, she's the loudest) and start heading into the hallway. surprise! yatos!!
job done, hiyori is the last to leave the bathroom. ]
⚫ 💞
Yeah...! Alright, then. Everything will be fine with you there.
[With his loneliness assuaged, he cuddles up next to wrestle!yori in a corner of the bathroom, talking in quiet whispers, paying her all manner of sincere compliments. He quite likes the domineering personality, naturally.]
This is gonna take a while, huh?
[Comes regular!Yato's wry observation as they start things up again. Maybe not to produce enough Hiyoris (it's like heaven in here...!) but to get them all back where they belong. There's just so many...!
But as each Hiyori arrives, Yato can't help greeting her with gratitude and gusto. Nekori with her cat ears gets special attention to those as he begs her for a feel, gently massaging the pair of fuzzy protrusions with a blissed out expression on his face. He wouldn't mind having her to snuggle with in the mornings, that's for sure.
The rest are equally paid attention to: Doctor Iki gets begged for a check-up (he doesn't need it), traditional Hiyori gets the suave treatment complete with hand kiss, idol!Hiyori is begged for a song just for him before she goes, but most of all it's the final version that captures Yato's attention, of course.
Everything from the crazy headband to her shirt have him beaming with unbridled delight as he takes her by both hands and kisses them then her cheek. T-There really is a part of Hiyori that adores him as much as he does her...! He couldn't possibly be happier, except if they were to all stay and be his harem. But that wouldn't be fair to them or himsel(ves)f.
And speaking of his selves, there's practically a riot when the herd of Hiyori emerge from the bathroom. There's surprised shouts, gleeful cheers, and at least one happy curse ringing out amid the pairing up. Thankfully due to their natures it doesn't take long before they're paired off, each one a picture of happiness at having someone special just for them.
Yato himself feels a twinge of sadness watching them, but ultimately knows they can't all remain in this world. There's just not enough room for more than one of them at a time. Turning to the original Hiyori, he slips his hand into hers with a fond smile.]
...thank you, Hiyori. You really are a compassionate person.
omg it me
despite yato's comments about it taking a while, hiyori is far more organized than his gaggle of goofs. one by one, they come out. as for getting them back? yeah, okay, that might take a while.
hiyoriginal sees yato greet each version of herself. blushing madly at him begging to touch nekori's ears (which she allows and purrs at) before hiyori can't take it and separates them. asking dr. iki for a check-up is a facepalm while the doctor laughs somewhat and agrees, putting her stethoscope to yato's heart to tell him he's fit and perfectly healthy. and, anyway, wasn't actual!suave yato in the other room?! reserved hiyori puts her mouth behind her unkissed hand with an "oh my" while hiyoriginal grabs yato's neck scarf and pulls him away with a "would you STOP?"
and he doesn't. asking hiyidol for a song, she gives him a sweet lil diddy combined with a wink and a blown kiss BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IDOLS DO FOR THEIR FANS.
finally, with bated breath, she awaits his reaction to the yatobsessed hiyori. she's too ashamed to intervene on him, then. especially when the clone squeals at him kissing her and reacts by throwing her arms around him with "I LOVE YOU YATOGAMI YOU'RE MY FAVORITE GOD."
they can never talk about this again. never.
the house has BEEN chaos but it grows to astronomical levels when all the yatos and all the hiyoris are together. the only hiyori that has trouble picking ONE (1) yato is, of course, the obsessed one. she wants them all. hiyoriginal shoves her at the one yato that doesn't have a partner and calls it a day.
she's off in the corner, watching as each pair heads to the mirror when a hand finds hers. startled, she looks over at him. at the sight of his fond smile her heart thrashes. heat floods her entire face. ]
I...! I-I just. [ then she looks away, turning her attention to blondyato and wrestleyori in the very back of the line holding hands. just as they are. her head leans gently on his blond one and hiyori flusters at how easily they show affection. ]
It was something I could do to help them all. What's important is that everyone is happy.
[ after watching him dote over them all, something comes to mind. gathering her courage, hiyori turns to face yato. ] One of your clones asked me something. I want to... ask you the same thing.
Which side of me do you like the best...?
it issss lol
Nodding at her answer, he threads their fingers together to make the hold just that more close.]
Yeah, but you didn't have to. Neither did your other selves. It takes a special kind of person to let themselves be exposed like that just to help others.
[It couldn't have been easy on her, he knows. She's so guarded about her more personal feelings, like her love of wrestling and her affection for him. Allowing him to see all sides of herself up close and personal is about as close as they've gotten to being intimate. It's something he'll appreciate for a long, long time.
Especially when she decides to face him head-on and ask that question. For a minute he regards her quietly, humming as though in thought, before--]
Maybe it's cheating, but I think the original is best. All of your sides are great in their own way, but your yourself are more than the sum of your parts. Like a diamond, you shine more brightly when each aspect of you lights up the other parts.
[Leaning in, he dares to brush his lips against hers.]
I could never choose to have just one part of you, even your fangirl side.
1/2
though impulse wants her to pull away from the inundation of skin contact, between every finger and every groove from weaving their hands, hiyori fights it.
because while it's a lot, it's also rather nice. besides, they're a couple now. they've been holding hands before that. what she hadn't known? is how well yato knows her. over time, the more he talks, the more her eyes widen.
r-right. her question.
and the answer is just like hers. if there were ever any doubts whatsoever in her mind (there aren't, not anymore) that being honest and upfront about her feelings was the wrong choice?
there isn't anymore. a smile steadily grows. a bloom of joy on her lips and reaching up to her eyes. ]
;u;
KISSED
SO GENTLY!!!!!
AT HER FANGIRL SIDELKDJLDSGKDGJLKS ]
Don't call her a fangirl.
[ that is precisely what she was
is, deep down. his most devoted follower ]
;w;
For when he does peer at her, curiously, he can't help feeling a surge of overwhelming love for the girl who saved his life so many times. But it's more than just that. It's the way she smiles, the crinkle at the corners of her eyes when she does, making his heart beat that much stronger.
He has no right to tease her about being a fangirl when he's the biggest one for her of all.
And yet--]
My favorite Yatoite, then?
[He's absolutely doing this to torment her.
Lovingly.
They're a couple now, so it's allowed, right? He'll accept his punishment if it's not, though. A smack would be worth flustering her just a little more, seeing her cheeks a bit redder.]
holds this thread gently,,,,,,,,,
at that point, hiyori tries to storm away, but he's being dragged along because their hands are still locked together. ]
Call her a Yatoist, at least!!
[ it's cuter. also, that's not a "no"
from behind, it's clear her ears have gone just as red as her face. ]
rocks it softly~
Mmm'kay. Yatoist Hiyori~
[Teasing her is such fun, but he doesn't want to push too far. So hurrying to catch up, he gets his other arm around her in a one-armed hug from behind, leaning in to rest his chin on her shoulder as he whispers in her ear.]
My precious believer...
nurtures it, watches it growdkjglskd
but really
behind her, the sound of his quiet chuckling is reassuring. more than embarrassing in any case. hiyori wishes for yato to achieve his dreams and become the god he wants to be. one of fortune. that, he knows. what he might not know is; hiyori also sincerely wishes for his happiness. if not more.
his arm around her middle stops her in her stomping tracks. though she doesn't throw him off, she never - not once - stops blushing. if she could get more red, his whispering in her ear would manage it.
p-precious...
rather, she raises her shoulder nearest his mouth and tilts her head in the opposite direction. ]
Th, that tickles.
[ PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT ]
harvests the seeds from it 🌻
But that's okay, he still loves her anyway, if not more so because of it. It's so cute, so her. Not privy to her more secret feelings, he merely assumes she's having a bit of a pouting session, one that can hopefully be thwarted by showering affection upon her as proof that he doesn't mean his laughter maliciously.
No, it's meant with all the love he can muster, felt right from the depths of his heart. Even if he can do little to stop her embarrassment entirely.
So why not play into it?
Grinning, he leans in closer and blows softly, right at her ear.
Feel free to smack at will, Hiyori.]
SEED......
there isn't a smack. surprisingly enough, yeah. hiyori shrieks at the air tickling her ear. tingles race up her spine and she starts squirming furiously in his arm to get away from her MISCHIEVOUS AS HELL god boyfriend who just had a whole ass harem for her pair up with a whole ass harem for him.
all of it with laughter. ]
S-stop! Yato! It's sensitive!!
[ HIYORI THAT'S THE WORST THING YOU COULD SAY TO YATO YOU AIRHEAD ]
WHEEZES......
Which is probably at least part of the reason his hold on her only tightens as he drags her back against him, sucking in a huge breath in order to let it out low and slow against her ear again, although the attempt is broken in places by laughter that he finally gives into.]
Sorry, sorry--!
[It's some of the warmest, most heartfelt laughs that he's ever let out around her - or anyone in probably several hundred years. With his attempts to tease having failed, he instead noses at her shoulder happily, letting out a content hum.]
Y'know the more you tell me it tickles, the worse I wanna do it, right?
[He's just sayin'!]
SFW SFW SFW SFW SFW LMFAO bc this is pure af
don't lie to her, he's not sorry.
she's not expecting the tender, soft act of him nuzzling into her shoulder while she collects her breath and her heart stutters. ]
... I-I should've known. [ REALLY, SHE SHOULD HAVE. ] You can't help yourself. You have no restraint.
[ she's smiling as she glances at her shoulder, at yato nosing her clothes and humming with this dopey grin on his face. she gives into the whim to reach up and touch the back of his head. fingers petting there lightly to show she's not mad or upset or... anything.
anything but happy. ]
