Chap 16 Early Pages - PG62

Periastron, at last!

Raziol would be saying the French pronunciation of Sulvain's name, so it would sound somethings like Sihl-Vah.

This brings us to the end of chapter 16! But don't fear, it wont be long before we start updating Chapter 17~ Now that the boys have been reunited, how will they feel about how each other has changed in their 300 year separation? What have they been doing all this time? We'll find out soon!

Stay tuned, we’ll be posting “The Ring of Saturn”, our very first Novae universe comic for the first time since it was on the Sparkler Monthly website many years ago!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Everyone! (And happy new year!)

Chap 16 Early Pages - PG62

Comments

I’m just rereading and there’s never been a more perfect webcomic. They should teach this in schools. It is as epic a love story as it gets. And the most amazing fantasy world?? I wish I could imbue my soul with this comic.

I think they missed each other enough, i need some spicy now

I can't wait for them to hug and kiss next chapter!!!😊💕🥰

KairaB

I went back and re-read the whole thing to refresh my memory, and now my major question is: what happened to the cat-woman-monster that turned Raz in the first place, and what if he adopted her at some point? Imagine the look on Sul's face if he walks into wherever Raz is living , and that thing comes pouncing on her cat-dad to welcome him home. Considering he buried her in a pile of burning skeletons on their last encounter, I don't know how she'd feel about him being her new dad. XD

Emily Rochester

New year! New chapter!

Taylor

Now I want to upload a recording of the French pronunciations of the names... because they are all beautiful!

Juliette Wade

How did I miss the announcement about the The Ring of Saturn! Yass!! (This page is quite distracting I swear *dream sigh*) I hoped you will reupload it, it was quite disappointing to read "well this link was working not so long ago but now the site is down, sorry" on the discord dhdudifc

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

Wait, /that's/ the (French) pronunciation of Sulvain's name? Neat! Also does Sulvain know that, or is he going to be confused lol

This community is such a blessing. Peace to all of you, from a lower-tier sub. 🥲

Emily Rochester

This is how we know that Jesus DOES, in fact, love the ways. 😊

Emily Rochester

Stop, stop, we're already dead

Emily Rochester

I spun a yarn and didn't mean it, sorry. 😅

Emily Rochester

Raziol has clearly been through A LOT, and we've been set up to assume that since the gang all parted ways. Sul was asleep, Vivi and Co went off the magic War, and Raz boarded a ship to parts unknown to figure what had been done to him and how to fix it. Then Sul was asleep for 80-some-odd years, which is a long time for Raz to travel the world and learn and grow. Maybe he ended up in the Americas in time for the various wars that brought us the USA, and has had a front row seat for all the rest of it. Having to watch the horrors this nation is founded on would change anyone profoundly, especially if that person already had a history of being dragged for his skin color and religion. Because Sulvain had already been alive for WAAAAAAAY too long when they met, and had a certain understanding of it complicated nature, so of course Raziol sometimes seemed naive and childish by comparison. Sulvain had just experienced so much more, and I appreciated that subtle difference between the two of them. It was something Sul clearly always found refreshing about Raz, for many reasons. But now, Raz has 300 years of the world's nonsense behind him, so he is just as matured by it as Sul has been for a long time. Raz is still his curious, studious, space-obsessed self, but he has grown out of that childlike nature. I kinda haven't understood why Sul hasn't accounted for this. It reminds me of how in Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent's minions couldn't find the princess because they had been looking for a baby for 16 years. 🤣

Emily Rochester

Honestly, completely forgot about that incoming dumpster fire for a second there, and that is a blessing indeed. Amen. Gonna survive solely on the wings of Raz and Sul's centuries long pining and romance now

Seuss

This is whatall those ROTFLOLs in the 00s were for. 😊

Emily Rochester

By gosh, by golly, your avatar is Worm! 😍

Emily Rochester

Imagine people who are JUST now starting their binge not having painstakingly wait and getting to enjoy them crisscrossing and then finally converging all at once. Lucky.....

Emily Rochester

Who needs maps when you've got your vampire-werewolf boyfriend back after 300 years?

Emily Rochester

Ikr??? Watch Sulvain immediately go, "Well, honestly, that could mean a lot of things and I'm just reading WAAAAY too deep into it (le sigh) again.)

Emily Rochester

Not even president Musk can ruin it, now! 🤣

how to convey the unholy scream i just let out? 2025 is officially blessed 🙌

Seuss

The fact that he says it in the French kills me!❤️

seriesxiii

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Lagiacrus

I know I shouldn't be expecting this but.... Sulvain and Raz look at each other with looks of complete astonishment and incomprehension for a moment. Then both break into teary smiles as they embrace into a massive kiss. Sulvain drops his folder and the maps go flying everywhere.

Brannen

(now kiss)

Abeille Femelle

I couldn't wait another day I upgraded to read this now 😭😭😭

Abeille Femelle

I think his hair is beautiful 😌

Nekochan

someone let sul get a haircut

btw raz got a flat ass sad i know

Ki_zzz

It’s beautiful. I’ve been looking at this for 4 days now.

Alina B.

I just screamed and scared my two sleeping cats! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Strelitzia The Lost Foreteller

Absolutely because how the hell do you go about reconnecting with someone when you separated in such strong, violent and unusual circumstances? "Fancy seeing you here after all this centuries, dtf?" Like I know that won't be it but I can't imagine what will actually happen

Javiera Pinochet

Hehe we all have a universal language of screeching in joy 🤩

Missiek43

😅 yes, we can all collectively sigh in relief. And then get anxious all over again waiting for the next chapter. 😂

Missiek43

In a tamer (somewhat) note I am thankful for the fact that I do not, in fact, have to start a riot. I had no idea how to go about that

Javiera Pinochet

Same

Javiera Pinochet

I literally screamed "SIIIIIIIIIIIIII" (Wich means yes, English isn't my first Language) in my living room with my whole family present. I literally had no control over it. I am BEYOND excited

Javiera Pinochet

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bun

Beautifully said homebody

Missiek43

I'm so sorry. The holidays really suck sometimes. My Dad died the day after Christmas when I was 15. 😭 🫂🫂🫂 Hugs friend

Missiek43

😆

Missiek43

Thank god for high-waisted jeans ;D

Kathleen Brereton

Yes, yes it is.

Missiek43

I spent 10 bucks to put myself out of misery and see them meet lol. It was worth every penny

digitalglitter

ok, Sulvain's got LEGS ✨

Nekochan

I am the same way!!! I imagine he says it so softly, like he isn't daring it to be true...and making sure it actually IS Sulvain. ❤️❤️

Missiek43

I was just thinking about it (again) because I am very normal about it. And "hearing your name said by your beloved person after 300 years, when everyone around you pronounce it differently now, but he does it in that Special Way" makes me very emotional

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

I’m so sorry! Novae is indeed a solace and a promise of hope. Sending hugs and consolation. Loss is never easy to bear, but is lighter when shared.

homebody_adventurer

Omg omg omg it’s happening!! Merry Christmas to us!!

Weens

Thank god if they missed each other again I would have flipped I think

B0ts baby!

Oh man, I’m so so sorry. I lost both my cat and my grandpa today (on Christmas.) Novae is my solace right now.

Levy

Hear hear to all the above!

Blusalee

Omgomgomg ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy Holidays indeed!!! Thank you for this Christmas present!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! THE MEET!!! YAAYYY!!! 🤩🤩💕💕💕💖💖💖

Neko-san

maybe he will talk 💔

Iselin

Damn I need to proofread my posts once in awhile, sorry guys.

Missiek43

We still need to know more about him. 🤔 What their relationship is, how Sulvain became Mar's godfather, etc. But I for one cannot wait to see the look on Sherbie's face when Sulvain shows up with Raziol.

Missiek43

I hope he will :p I hope he will try to reason with Sulvain that he "doesn't know Raziol anymore" (dramaaaa)

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

What a beautiful Christmas present!!! Thank you! 🥹🥹

Monika

Can you imagine what must be going through his mind? Years and centuries of longing and searching...and he was finally trying to convince himself that Raziol was gone....and then one day he turns around and there he is. OMG what will Sherbet think?! Will he be jealous of him?

Missiek43

Beautiful! ❤️🫂

Missiek43

Omgomgomg I am HOLLERING! I will never get over this!!

OdacioChoco

Will he be able to even focus to use sign language or he will just glow gold like a Christmas lights from emotions

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

Brb, will be spending the holidays screaming joyfully into the abyss 💞💞💞

Shulamit Ani Linker

Thank you for this amazing Christmas gift Kaiju 💗🥹 The boys are reunited at last!!!!

Amélie

Yay! Will Sulvain give the R+stars sign?

Blusalee

Do I believe in Christmas miracles now??? Thank you authors for such a lovely slow burn chapter, it’s been such a treat.

Brenna Cook

Merry Christmas everyone (who celebrates)! The world is a beautiful place and Im glad to be alive!

Sam

I can finally rest in peace 😌❤️ this was the best Christmas gift. Thank you Kaiju for bringing so much joy into our lives 🥹

Charlot Kristensen

I AM SCREAMING ❤️❤️❤️❤️ finally!!!! Also - i always wondered how sulvains name was pronounced!! Always meant to ask. Im assuming it’s now pronounced differently? Depending on where they are in place/time.

Laura

His cliff hanger is absolutely DIABOLICAL but this is the best gift I received this year! Thank you Kaiju for continuing this beautiful story & for existing in general. Yall have no idea how much joy is brought to my face each time you update their world. I hope you both enjoy your holiday and spend some time resting between now and the new chapter! ❤️❤️❤️

Ares

Thank you so much for this! I had a feeling you'd gotten here and upgraded just to have this moment as a Christmas gift. Bless them both, and I'm so glad they had a chance to talk before seeing each other. Your storytelling instincts are spot-on!

Juliette Wade

Her name was Tudna. She and my kids grew up together.

homebody_adventurer

Ugh I'm so sorry your plans fell through. I hope you still find some way to enjoy the holiday. I know this definitely helps! ❤️

Missiek43

Oh Homebody I'm so sorry you lost your kitty. I know how hard that is!! 😭💔 My last kitty was 17 when she passed away. Her name was Soleil and she was my best friend. What was your kitty's name? 🫂🫂🫂 Thank you for sharing your pain with us.

Missiek43

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Emilia Szykowna

I know it’s a little off topic but I just lost my 20 year old cat (the one in my pfp) and I really needed this chapter to have a happy ending. I screamed a little when the last page dropped. The dogs think I’ve lost my mind. I just keep coming back and looking at the close-up of their faces, just to reassure myself that it’s true.

homebody_adventurer

YESSSSS LAWWWDDDDDDDDD THANK YOUUUU ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 Have a merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

giggles

listen my christmas plans fell apart the last fucking second so i was feeling so sad and like. HELLO. THIS? THANK YOU. BLESS YOU.

Paryuu Arts

ohh are you french? i just looked up “how to pronounce sulvain (in which got autocorrected to ‘sylvain’) in french” & all the pronunciation videos said “sihl-vah” lol

celine

The basic French pronunciation of this name is not even "Sihl-Vah", the end "vain" is pronounced like "pain" (bread) a unique nasal sound not many languages have 😅

Meli

Sulvain "the key to Raziol's heart" the necromancer and Rasim "Raziol Anxiety" Qamar the astrophysic

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

sulvain “always [having] the key” is sooo real XD

celine

And the crowd goes wild!!! ❤️❤️❤️

SamaLamaDama

Actually sobbing, brb

thedistortedeye

Raziol was probably building up this armor of being cool, smug, confident guy for god knows how long and Sulvain just came and took it apart in an hour. 😭😭 Went inside because he always had a key 😭😭 Literally broke him 😭😭

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

SCREAMING, CRYING OH MY GOD FINALLY

Oh I can sleep now. Merry christmas to everyone🎄 🎁

polialeks

I'm so excited I could cry.

Missiek43

Thank you for sharing that!!

Missiek43

I'm french and I always read it in the french pronunciation, but the end -ain is like in the word "pain" (bread) if you ever heard it. Not many languages have that weird nasal sound 😅

Meli

❤️🎊😭

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Eira

the french pronunciation is actually really cute though XD

celine

this whole time i did not know sulvain’s name was pronounced like that!!

celine

Also I love how the cover art for this chapter foreshadowed that Raziol would be the one to catch on first! Sure Sulvain had some inklings of “what-if’s” at the party, but Raziol ultimately carried with putting the pieces together.

Taylor

Same dude. But our beloved authors need rest too. Perhaps you can reread the whole story like I'm planning on doing 🥰

Missiek43

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! That’s all that’s in my brain right now lol

Alyssa

EVERYONE CHEERED.

Fond Phantom

🤣

Missiek43

The screams heard round the world have commenced. Kate and Jen, thank you THANK YOU!!! You have fed us well. I appreciate the pronunciation of Sulvain's name.... It makes this that much more touching and romantic to think Raziol automatically reverted to French (17th century French?) when speaking to Sulvain. 😭 I am on the verge of tears, speechless. The majesty of this story, the art, the history, everything!! I am thoroughly enraptured with it all. Thank you for this amazing chapter, Happy Holidays to your both. Rest well, and we will be patiently (or impatiently hehe) waiting for the next chapter. 😭😭😭😍😍😍😱😱😱🤮😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🤮🥰🥰🥰🫂🫂🫂🫂 Me right now

Missiek43

YES!!!

SO LONG WE HAVE WAITED! THE PROMISED DAY HAS ARRIVED! 😭😭😭😭😭 MERRY CHRYSLER KAIJU!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ~ IT'S HAPPENING, IT'S HAPPENING!!! EVERYONE GET READY!!! Okay, now I can voice my thoughts since I've calmed down a bit. When it comes to changes...I don't know if it's just me but I've seen a change in Raziol's personality. He seems to come off as more confident than he was before. I don't know how to explain it. The word that I'm looking for is on the edge of my brain but I can't figure it out. Of course, that's how he presents to me. How people present and who they truly are, are usually two different things. I'm SO looking forward to the next chapter!!!
