I'm probably going to read this later, but I cannot muster the mental energy at the moment.
UPDATE: It has been read.
The first one is very silly. Well done.
The second is interesting. The emotional parts are pretty well done, and I also like the concept of the breathers. The counting kind of reminded me of the summoning of a shardblade, but that might just be because I'm reading WoK.
Good job! I'd love to see more of this.
