How could we do that? Failed Polymorph? Or just do it along the lines of Haley's an Aasimar or similar arguments(never seen her ears or tailbone and she may have claimed to be part-something at one point).

FAQ is not RAW!
Saph:It's surprising how many problems can be solved by one druid spell combined with enough aggression.
I play primarily 3.5 D&D. Most of my advice will be based off of this. If my advice doesn't apply, specify a version in your post.
Anyway, the plot fairy bestowed me with a plot bunny last night, in the form of MikoxHaley. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I can't find anything to change.
Spoiler
There is a writing desk among the ruins of the once-great Azure City. It is almost, but not entirely, unlike a raven, with a scroll top that has rusted shut.
Inside the permanently closed desk is a diary, the kind with a lock, the key to which is some 300 yards away, on a chain around the neck of half of a skeleton.
Inside the diary is a sealed letter; the writing on the envelope is perfect and elegant. The letter is dated three days before the fall of Miko Miyazaki.
----
I do not know why I am writing this letter. I start it knowing you will never read it, never even know that I have set pen to paper to express my feelings towards you. It is a frivolity, a useless expression of foolish sentiments. Yet here I am.
When first I met you, I was struck by your beauty, but firm in my resolution to arrest you for the crimes committed by you and your party. But the knowledge that you are a thief and a common criminal did not keep you from my dream that night.
In my dream, I had returned to the forest behind my childhood home, the monastery. I walked along the overgrown path, and you joined me, red hair loose on your shoulders. We did not speak, merely kept each other’s silent company, walking among the trees.
From that night on, you became a fixture in my dreams, despite continually surfacing evidence that you are merely a lawless burglar with delusions of vitue. I could not understand my fixation with you, though my dreams were rapidly loosing their innocence, and often placed me in positions to compromise my virtue with you.
Interestingly, it was Greenhilt’s clumsy attempts at romantic interaction with me that led me to my conclusion: I had fallen in love lust with you.
How, I do not know. I cannot understand how, I, a paladin of unassailable virtue could feel an emotion other than contempt for a criminal such as yourself.
I have prayed to the 12 Gods for guidance, and I have determined that they placed you in my path as a test. Only a true paladin could resist your charms seductive guile. It is my duty to cast you from my thoughts and renew my staggering devotion to the ways of Goodness and Law.
You are merely a trial. This is what I want to believe, but it rings false even to myself. I have proven that I, Miko Miyazaki, am beyond temptation. I have proven my loyalty to the Gods by sacrificing my chance to confess my feelings to the one I love resisting your wicked ways. I do not understand why the Gods continue to torment me. I have lost my parents, and exist in isolation, even among my allies. Everything happens for a reason, and the great plans the Gods have for me are beyond my human understanding.
My loyalty is without peer.
Thoughts?
I've had some Miko/Haley ideas in my head ever since I noticed Haley seemed shocked as opposed to overjoyed when she heard of Miko's death from the Oracle. I'd like to think she realized that, as leader of the Azure City Resistance, she could have been friends (or at least an ally) with Miko had they met under different circumstances. Kind of like Celia.
Idea of how CheeseMuncher's story could be extended:
Spoiler
Miko in the pre-Celestia demiplane asks Sangwaan to scry on Haley. (Reasons for them both still being there: Miko's case is taking some time to evaluate, and Sangwaan is busy trying to get permission to use the Epic Divination magic of the plane and share what she learns with Hinjo).
After seeing Haley lead the Resistance and realizing she's not exactly friends with Belkar, she concludes that Haley was intended to be a gift from the Gods, to show her that rogues and thieves could be virtuous (just like a paladin could commit an act like killing her lord), and that if Haley had grown up under the right conditions, she too could have been a paladin.
Miko breaks into tears and is comforted by Sangwaan. In fact, Sangwaan ad libs some words of wisdom that lead Miko to the conclusion described in the above paragraph. Miko then opens up to Sangwaan, who feels overwhelmed by the duty of helping her unload her emotional baggage and rebuild her broken personality. Miko becomes extremely grateful to Sangwaan, bestowing her titles like the Illuminator of Virtue, the Diviner of True Selves, and other such overblown titles dripping with embarrassing amounts of praise.
After a month or two, Sangwaan develops a spell that will allow Miko to communicate with Haley via Haley's dreams (this could be during Haley's stint as Resistance leader or during her travels with Celia before they met the Oracle).
Haley then starts having dreams where Miko apologizes...even going so far as to feed her grapes (ya know, like in Discord's banner). Embarrassed, Haley keeps all this to herself, but doesn't know Miko is dead. She thinks these are simply normal dreams of hers and is wondering why she's having them. She makes a note to try to meet Miko and melt the iceburg if they ever get back into Azure City and find her.

I think that you put a lot of effort into your stories, and with all the writing you've been doing, you're just getting burnt out. And you are tragically misinterpreting this fatigue as a lack of talent.
I don't know what rough stuff you are going through, but I hope you overcome it and start doing the things you love again.

*belatedly hugs Water-Smurf.* Sorry you're feeling crappy. Take as much of a break as you need. It sucks having to write without inspiration.
And thank you to everyone who liked my story. I got the idea and started writing it in the middle of the night, so I was a tad worried that the things that seemed like a good idea to my sleep-deprived brain would seem weird to someone who hasn't been mainlining energy drinks for three days.
From my dad, I got my red hair, my quick fingers, and an unhealthy distrust for my fellow mankind. From my mom, I got lycanthropy - I'm a werecat. The Dexterity bonus and natural attack can really come in handy; the fear and loathing, not so much. So, you can probably get why I'm not exactly very open about it I haven't told anyone, not even V or Elan. I thought I would go my entire life without ever shifting again. That is, until he joined the party.
He was more beautiful than anyone I'd ever seen before, even Elan. His soft white fur, his sparkling blue eyes, that rich purr in his voice. I couldn't believe it. I'd told myself I would resist the urge; I would be a hundred percent human. And believe me, I tried. But he kept visiting me, every night, curling up at my feet... on my face... by my side... I just couldn't do it. And so, I decided to let my inner cat out of the bag.

Hey, someone complimented your Spliced Kyrie story from earlier.
And I say we need more Squickie Awards. Too many good stories to narrow it down so much!

By the way. Have any of you experineced this:when the comic updates are you surprised that some of the things that happend in the crack realm did not hapen there. Like the one were Inky got spliced and went after V. When the next comic was realeased I was shocked that Inky was not with the order. I was that close to post something about it. It was that good. Who made that one by the way.
This one!

Also, I'm convinced that Haley hasn't been faithful to Elan ever. Though I'm not sure that's the Crack, it may just be the fact that she's been acting like a cat in heat in half the comics.
Oh come on! She's been acting like a 25-year old woman with a hot boyfriend. Frankly, this is getting ridiculous.
