A Soul Lingers ~~ Part 1

__________

Elizabeth opened her eyes. Not fully, but enough to see what was before her: a drab ceiling. A heap of warmth cradled her frame uncomfortably, that heap supposedly being Meliodas. I’m too hot, I’m sweating, this is uncomfortable, she thought helplessly; mind screaming at her body to move. The skin between her thighs and underarms stuck to themselves and her back was slick with perspirant.

After a few meager attempts she managed to wiggle free from Meliodas and lay on her side. Back to her husband. Elizabeth sat in thought with herself.

What will I do today? She had the normal tasks to complete as Queen of Britannia, of course. Like overseeing the castle gardens, making sure the stocks were in order for winter, and preparing for the Winter Star Feast. Those things could not fall behind no matter what. Still, there was something else. Something more than strolling the castle gardens and planning future events.

Oh, yes, I’m a mother. With newfound confidence, she lifted her body from the mattress and plucked her silk robe from the edge of their bed. The floors were icy from the impending winter season and the boards creaked as Elizabeth tip-toed to the bedroom door. Her hand reached out, fingertips ghosting the glassy doorknob, only to be stopped by a voice.

“El..? What are you doing, honey?” Meliodas was propped on his elbows. His nightshirt hung off of his shoulder, displaying a small portion of the scars he accumulated over the past three thousand years. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her waist timidly. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and furrowed her brow, confused by his question.

“I’m going to wake Tristan, of course.” She tread lightly. Meliodas’ eyes suddenly fell, from which she couldn’t tell why. In a more confident voice, “…the maids will be fixing breakfast soon. He needs to be awake or he’ll miss the most important meal of the day.”

There was a pause between their bodies. Elizabeth by the door, and Meliodas frowning in the bedsheets. Suddenly, but rather slowly, Meliodas peels back the covers and makes his way to her. His eyes soften but that dreadful frown remains. Elizabeth lets out a heavy breath when he places a hand over hers. His skin is incredibly warm, even with the calluses on the pads of his fingers.

“Honey… I think you’re confused.” Meliodas looks up into her eyes as he squeezes her hand. Those rich ocean eyes, ones he’d seen hundreds of times, were raw with sleep and confusion. It made his hearts shiver with discomfort.

“Tristan… she-..” he stops himself. “My love, come back to sleep. It is too early to be up. We can wake in just a few more hours. Come.”

So I’m not dead.

Not that anyone thought that but I’ve been inactive for… a while. Just a few quick updates:

Older sister got into a car wreck (she is a-okay now)

Stoner AU is STILL happening (Chapter 8 coming in the next week)

I took a small break to reel things in and focus on family

Started new medication that will get me back on track

Thank you everyone who has been patient with me, even though I didn’t give any warning (besides a heads up to a discord server). I felt it would be better if I posted after it blew over rather than in the middle of the chaos. Much love and I’ll post more soon!!

…also some apology art 🙇 (third one is suggestive)

[jupitermchai]

I propose:

Meliodas as a psychologist who wears round glasses (NOT Harry Potter type ones).

He’s the communal friend therapist with a shit ton of baggage that comes out when he drinks. He’s also Hispanic and calls his friends stupid nicknames in his native language. I rest my case.

[jupitermchai]

after hours of doom scrolling, drawing, being incredibly inactive (and watching questionable YouTube videos…), I’ve come to ‘feed my gators’ with art of Stoner Meliodas AND Amulius (Meliodas rewrite from Star-Crossed and Deliberate).

(yes I was listening to red wine supernova when I drew the second sketch…)

School has been crazy and I have first trimester finals this week, but I’ve been getting into art more so maybe more art soon?

…if I don’t go off the radar again 😔

[jupitermchai]

A lil sketch based on @primalspirit and @the-ghost-sin 🤲

Imagine Elizabeth tickling Meliodas’ paw/demon claw things. He fails at not laughing so he just clamps down on her hand hoping she’ll stop (she doesn’t).

M: “Stop—“ E: “…they’re so soft??”

Then she proceeds to play with his toe beans. UGH

[jupitermchai]

*Sigh* Time to use my new drawing desk 😐✏️

Have you ever just look at Assault Mode Meliodas and look at his Feet of Darkness Claws feet...

And just want to mess with them like one messes with Kitty Cat Paws...

Or am I the only weird one?

Um hi yes I would very much love to poke the kitty paws. Unfortunately I don't think that would be a good idea. How do I know? No reason. Ignore the broken jaw. But you may get kicked. But k i t t y p a w

[jupitermchai]

when all of the previous events in your fan-fiction perfectly line up to create the very particular current event:

[jupitermchai]

I know we all love my stoner au… but my rewrite is calling me guys. JUST LOOK AT THEM

(This is VERY old art)

Absolutely SPRINTING to go do some more world building 🏃🏼💨

No comment…

Chapter posted !!

[jupitermchai]

I think Meliodas with a mullet is too good to pass up y’all..

Also some updates! School for me starts tomorrow, which means I get my school laptop. I’m able to write more efficiently on there, therefore my Stoner AU will have “frequent” updates (more or less, a chapter every other week). I did unfortunately injure my foot, so I’m stuck in bed with my iPad, which means more writing, art, and crochet :,)

[jupitermchai]

…are we digging the look chat? Should I update his character sheet?

I also love how different my styles look here 😻

[jupitermchai]

I told myself not to post this until the next chapter was out so here it is 🤲

[jupitermchai]

ITS POSTED GUYS!!

I know it took way too long, but I posted chapter 4 last night around 10:45 CST. Here is a little sneak peak! :3

…

“Take. The. Fucking. Drink.” Ban shoved the cup forward until it pressed to Meliodas’ lips. Albeit begrudgingly, he snatched the clear plastic cup from Ban’s hands and looked the sloppy liquid over. The drink was thick, puke-green, and it smelt like grass. Meliodas mulled over his thoughts before taking a courageous swig from the cup, and immediate regret settled in. He felt his stomach lurch and grumble with irritation.

Jesus fucking Christ, Ban.

[jupitermchai]

The next chapter is coming, I have it outlined and will be posing it sometime in the next week 😖

[jupitermchai]

Happy Birthday, Meliodas! 🎂🌱

This is probably his “age-reveal” for the AU, I am working on the next chapter as I post this. I couldn’t miss out on the poor guys birthday ☹️

[jupitermchai]

The next chapter to “High and Dry” is going to be late, I’m sorry. I’ve been extremely busy and I haven’t had time to write it :(
