surprise flitted across the empress's face, amber hues widened minutely as they desperately searched his face. supple flesh parted, words momentarily failing her as a slender hand cupped drako's face, thumb automatically brushing against his cheek. she'd hurt him, however unintentionally. she hadn't meant . . . she'd simply meant . . .
dark lashes fluttered as she closed her eyes, a moment taken to center herself before she said something else. ❝ i had thought . . . thought to give you an escape. ❞ she paused, voice cracking with emotion as she shakily inhaled. her brilliant gaze flickered down to their joint hands, her mask continuing to fracture as a wet laugh escaped her. ❝ 'tis i that is not enough for you, darling. you do not deserve to be saddled with all the expectations && burdens that come with being the imperial consort. your freedom meant the world to me. ❞ her other hand fell from his face, instead cupping their joined hands.
dark hair swayed, covering her ethereal face as she bowed at the waist, lifting his hand enough for her lips to lay a silent promise against his inner wrist. slowly, reverently so, she straightened, still clutching his hand close. ❝ 'twas never a question that i could grow to love you as lovers should, with our friendship acting as the foundation. how else could i have tolerated you when we were children ?? ❞ a soft, teasing smile curled at the corners of her lips as she straightened to her full height.
❝ if this is your wish . . . then i suppose it is time for us to face the music. there is no coming back from this. our souls will be forever tied. you will be expected to be by my side for the rest of our days. ❞ dark brows drew together as she studied the other. try as she might to ignore it, hope thrummed within her cosmic ribcage. yet she would not allow him to accept without being fully informed.

perfectly white teeth held plush bottom lip captive as covetous, possessive touch tightened around supple waist. brilliant amber flutters at the bight of claws against silken flesh, head tilted back enough to expose fragile throat. a soft, longing mewl slipped past parted lips, eyes rolling back within her skull. slender arms wrapped around the valkyrie's neck, delicate fingers tangled with blonde, silken strands.
desire seeped into the very essence of the goddess's being. dangerous games oft led to the most wonderful of prizes, something hyeon looked forward to. stars above, she desired to play such games with the valkyrie regularly if all ended the way she hoped.
❝ i quite doubt that, darling. you are . . . delicious looking. don't make a goddess beg to taste you. 'tis cruel && unjust. ❞ dark lashes fluttered as liquid amber slowly revealed themselves once more, caught by molten silver. lips quirked into a sinful smile, the goddess's gaze reverently trained on the monstrous visage, fire licking its way down her spine. ❝ you may have more than a taste of me, dearest. consume me whole. indulge in my ichor. 'tis only fair, for us to consume each other whole. ❞
Trembling body only encourages own grip to t i g h t e n ( a gesture most possessive , most demanding ) , corrosive touch mindful as claws prick against the supple bend of the celestial’s waist caught up within the exile’s wanting hold. The p a i n of such a ruinous touch - those claws teasing flesh , her magic staining skin - is subtle , at worst , and hardly there , merely a REMINDER of this savage woman’s nature ( it is as if she wants to see how hyeon may react ; shall she pry away from the threat or rise to indulge it ? ) .
The two certainly make to play a DANGEROUS GAME besides ( this is lust , her patron sin ; verona gave it a name long before most gods in recent ages even drew breath from the cosmos ) ; games like this , though , warrant no winners. And where might be the fun without a little … FOREPLAY to make things a bit more interesting ? After all , even desire is its own s p o r t .
❝ Hm , is that your request … ❞ Point of ear flicks in return for the teasing bite given , head tipping away to allow distance so she may regard the other in kind , gilt brows quirked curiously ( in truth , she is a bit surprised by the bold demand ) . ❝ Then , I ought warn you , I make for a rather TERRIBLE choice in meal , ❞ How modest , ❝ But I shan’t consider refusing y o u , sweet thing , should you have the stomach - or the heart - to tolerate me. ❞ Painted lips split in a show of teeth , her sharp-mawed grin less of a threat and more a playful invitation , ❝ It would be my pleasure to give you all that I am , if I may only have a t a s t e of you in return , of course. ❞

physical intimacy was never something the celestial phoenix shied away from, for it settled a desire for tactile touch that ached within her cosmic ribcage. the celestial palace was oft a lonely place, a decadently furnished yet indisputably desolate cage. when not holding court, the palace lacked color && life. the extravagant furnishing did little to hide the distinct feeling of clinical polish. were it not for the sparse bursts of homely comfort, one would be hard-pressed to think of the palace as anything but a showroom. an empty husk meant only to host court with her cosmic subjects.
the same could not be said for the empress's living suite. though still decadently furnished, it held a distinct warmth && liveliness that the rest of the palace did not. woolen blankets draped across the couch, a cluttered mess of domestic legislature && personal correspondence covered the coffee table. However, most notably, a well-loved chaise situated by a sweeping window that outlooked the ethereal garden tended to by none other than the empress herself. this private corner, tucked away from cosmic chaos, offered a much-needed reprieve, a space for the celestial phoenix to just breathe.
[ CHAIR ]: the distinct lack of available chairs in a room results in the sender having no choice but to sit in the receiver's lap. @ninctailcd
this sacred space was not oft disturbed, for most guests were welcomed in the guest suites. rúyì, though an honored guest && treated as such, had long since been a close friend && cherished companion to the empress. fox && phoenix could oft be found tangled together, a mess of dark hair && silken flesh encircled together. with the freedom to move about the empress's suites as she saw fit when she visited, the vulpine woman oft made herself comfortable wherever she saw fit.
the empress found herself in one such situation as bone-deep exhaustion settled heavily ‘pon her slender shoulders. her dim, amber gaze briefly flitted about the room before it settled on rúyì. plush lips briefly pulled into a pout before she padded toward the other, flinging herself into her lap without a word. slender arms encircled the other’s supple waist as hyeon buried her face in her stomach, tension slowly fading away.
❝ murder is a perfectly reasonable response to such idiocy. i had thought us past such childish squabbling, but 'twould seem that my court is set to prove my assumptions wrong at every turn. ❞

@strywoven invoked the goddess,
“ i’ll stay. ” / veronaaa
sharpened claws caressed silken flesh, tracing marks left on porcelain skin. perhaps, if the goddess were to think back on it later, perhaps this was the start of everything. where passion gave way to something tender, something innately human. however, the celestial bird was far more content to melt into silk sheets, supple body a stark contrast to dark bedding. delicate neck shifted as sharp, covetous teeth trailed their way to the junction between ear && neck, darkening bruises that were already left. the heated weight of the valkyrie's body against her back sent shivers down her spine as a calloused hand slid down slender arm before lacing fingers together. the goddess squeezed verona's fingers as she arched her neck, petal-soft flesh whispering reverent prayers into pointed ears.
❝ you say the sweetest things to me, moonlight. i'd not wanted to overstep, but i want you here with me. ❞ though melodic voice teased, sincerity dripped from her soft response. a large hand grasped supple waist, dragging celestial bodies closer together, so tightly interwoven that to try && understand where when ended && the other began was an impossible task. burning heart thrummed within cosmic ribcage as soft, pleased hums fell past parted lips. the worship laved against sensitive skin was almost too much to bear, for as always, the goddess desired more, wanted everything that the warrior had to offer.

delicate fingers laced together, chin rested atop as celestial being leaned forward. petal-soft flesh held an amused curve as molten amber studied the young captain, head canted to the side. ❝ ‘twould seem so, darling. though truthfully, ’tis unnecessary. surely you have much better things than accompanying an old woman such as myself. ❞
@goddessrisen
H e had never anticipated being in the company of a Goddess. Such a privilege, he thinks, as he straightens his stance.

it was not often that the goddess was able to surprise her lover, for he was oft far too aware. yet, her burning heart thrummed within cosmic ribcage, her hope && excitement a tangible thing. the inner-workings of his court seized his attention for hours, long enough for her to enact her plan. brilliant amber critically scanned resplendent display, eyes narrowed before she nodded to herself, satisfied. the new addition to her personal wing within the celestial palace had finally finished some time ago, but she had yet to show the devil – lord.
her ruffled appearance within an ornate mirror caught the celestial's attention. her typically stony visage held a rosy hue, eyes alight with emotion, even as dark curls escaped their intricate braid. she looked, for all intents && purposes, alive, perhaps even joyful. pearly teeth sank into plush bottom lip as hyeon studied her appearance, hand raised to caress a flushed cheek. was this truly how she was around aesma, without any pretense or stone wall ?? stars above, she was no better than a starling.
aesma's arrival within the court broke the goddess from her inner musings. petal-soft flesh curled into a soft, shy smile as heeled feet carried her toward the foyer. burning heart practically burst from cosmic ribcage as her gaze settled on the man, casually examining the decor before vermillion settled 'pon her slender form. hyeon closed the distance with nary a whisper, slender arms wrapped around his neck before he could blink. she smiled up at him, a tender, soft thing, before brushing soft flesh against his.
❝ come, my starlight. i've something to show you. you need only tell me if it isn't to your liking, but i simply thought . . . ❞ though excitement burned within her, quiet hesitation wrapped around her words, even as her melodic voice kept its usual cadence. slender fingers laced with larger ones as she tugged him toward his surprise. it took only a few moments before they stopped before her bedroom suite, sequestered away from the rest of her court. though she'd deny it if ever asked, something akin to nervousness painted itself across her ethereal face as she stepped away from aesma's side to open the door.
though not his only surprise, the ornate decor of the primordial goddess's personal haven had changed. a blend of both of their preferences melded into something perfectly suited for both. hyeon gestured for the lord to step through, following a step behind. to allow him time to digest.
❝ this . . . is not your only gift. but i suppose it is the most drastic. feel free to explore at your leisure. ❞ brilliant amber fastidiously studied the large windows that lined the living room, unable to look at aesma as she bared her heart like this. of course, they both knew this was not a simple gift, for she had given him many in the past. this was something more, something intimate.

@empyreous summoned the goddess, [ COMFORT ]: sender, after a challenging and emotionally draining experience, settles into the receiver's lap in search of a feeling of comfort. [REVERSE]
much weighed heavily atop the goddess's gilded crown, silken tiers tight as the furrowing of dark brows marred her ethereal visage. the fleeting desires of many warred for her attention, no matter how much she desired to think of anything else. silken slippers whispered against marbled stone as instinct sought the devil lord. memory alone saved her from bumping into anything on the way.
a soft, nigh silent breath of relief slipped past parted lips at the sight of her lord. stars above, he was a sight for sore eyes. slender hands encircled broad shoulders before the soft weight of celestial goddess settled into an awaiting lap. face buried into a muscled shoulder, hyeon finally exhaled. shoulders slumped as aesma's comforting scent invaded her senses, soothing any tension left within her body.
gentle hands tenderly undid her elaborate braid, setting aside her crown before they returned to her head, manicured nails raking through long, dark hair. the divine bird cooed in response, body melting against the hard edge of her lover's body. a curious hand trailed downward. soft, warm fingers massaging silken flesh along the way.
❝ i have no desire to ever leave your embrace again. can we not hold court like this ?? 'else i find myself with the urge to decimate much of our court. they continuously test my patience, which is in short supply anyway. ❞ a plush, bottom lip jutted out, the goddess's amber gaze soft && wide as she pleaded with her lover.

how strange. the goddess thought. tiered flesh pursed in contemplation as iridescent eyes studied the dancer, dark brows furrowing. never had such a line of thought occurred to her. the primordial goddess held no weaknesses, for what couldn't she do ?? perfection incarnate, the blueprint for what beings should strive to be.
"what we think to be our greatest weakness can sometimes be our biggest strength." @sw4nsongs
" whatever do you mean, darling ?? surely you jest. how could one's weakness ever become their strength ?? " confusion painted itself across the ethereal beauty of the goddess's face as she prompted commanded the other to answer her query. brilliant, amber eyes gazed into amethyst, studying her alluring companion.

silence followed as the goddess contemplated the she-fox's comment. silken tiers curled into a slight smile, a huff of a laugh escaping as they did. the all-seeing iridescent gaze turned skyward, observing the bright stars.
" we're all a little broken in our own ways ... in places no one might see. " @vulpesse
" yet all too often are they expected to act as if that were not the case. so much is expected of them, for they are to ignore our hurt, their shattered pieces && simply go about their day. " lyrical in nature, the goddess's cadence spoke of barely restrained vexation at this fate. though always an onlooker, never experiencing such despair, she could not deny the damage done to mankind. " humans && mortals alike are so very odd. i've yet to understand the reasoning behind this. "
eerily bright eyes turned toward her companion, curiosity stirring behind the piercing gaze. the question remained unasked as a delicate hand reached out, grasping silken flesh to tug the other closer. twinned flesh twisted into a slight pout as the cosmic being demanded an answer without uttering a word.

a rush of air slipped past lush tiers, the goddess's version of a chuckle, as slender fingers folded together. of all the things she'd expected when crystal requested her presence, this certainly was not on the list. the vastness of space held many creatures, those that the goddess had a hand in creating and those that came about because of others. but this thing, more abomination than living creature, was neither. it held no purpose other than to consume, and consume it did. many a galaxy disappeared from the celestial map, a gaping hole left in their wake.
❛ if you listen closer, you can hear it screaming. ❜ @florspinae
a quiet, festering rage hid behind the goddess's iridescent gaze as she hummed in response to the other's comment. the creature's very soul, its essence, screamed. the howling of a beast wounded, a hollow chorus of beings long since digested. if she were not feral in rage, perhaps she'd find the creature pitiable.
" hm, 'tis not enough. this thing is an abomination, i would flay its flesh from its bones if more information was not needed. i am not a goddess known for mercy, and once whoever created this creature is revealed, i will show them just how cruel i can be. "

for too long had the celestial palace been her only solace, a solitary reprieve from royal affairs. the goddess forgot about the vast cosmos outside her halls, for little else mattered except her prosperity. she grew complacent, docile even, as solitude chipped away at primordial emotion, leaving emptiness in its wake. millennia passed as the goddess passively looked on from her palace, statuesque in nature. had the winter rose not disturbed her quiet solitude, she would have faded into obscurity, a bright nebula the only reminder of a once greater celestial being.
slowly, almost mechanically so, she turned to face her guest, welcoming her inside. the ethereal beauty of the goddess's face did little to hide the cracks along her visage, silken flesh hiding the vast nebula contained within. plush tiers attempted a smile, skin cracking ever so much as she did so.
" i welcome you, @florspinae. though i must apologize about the lack of fanfare . . . i'd thought my realm long forgotten. but rest first, business can be discussed later. " her voice, though raspy && cracking with disuse, was melodic in nature, a soft whisper akin to the cosmic beauty of the night sky.

delicate fingers laced together as ethereal visage momentarily softens. silken flesh twitch, a smile threatening to break her marbled expression. the celestial goddess could not hide the prideful tilt of her chin as she leaned into the qilin's space, resting her head atop her shoulder. ❝ you say this as if i am not a joy to be around, darling. but fine, have your peace && quiet. ❞ molten amber glinted with mischief as silken flesh gave way to brilliant feather. with as much regality as one could muster as a bird, hyeon settled herself into the qilin's lap, sleepily blinking up at her. she settled her feathered head atop lhore's chest, trilling a contented sound before her eyes slid closed.
♡’d for a starter ( ft. hyeon + lhore ) // @goddessrisen
Hyeon’s presence ? In a word : a comfort. If not a very peculiar one , a sometimes uninvited one. The celestial had , very certainly , made herself at home in the qilin’s company. And though Lhore might have been averse to her in the beginning , even s h e , uninclined to many , could admit … SHE WAS CHARMING ( in her own frustratingly delightful sort of way ) . ❝ If I confess I like having you around , ❞ Lhore says suddenly , interrupting their silence , attempting to prevent a s m i l e from crossing her features , ❝ Will you f i n a l l y grant me some peace and quiet ? ❞

the cosmic empress's ethereal visage softened as her beloved star flinched before slowly relaxing into her touch. supple flesh curled into a contemplative frown, dark brows furrowed as the goddess slowly lifted a hand, waiting for approval before she cupped brighta's face. her thumb gently brushed against the soft flesh as celestial magic seeped into the star's flesh, healing any residual damage.
❝ i cannot help with that sort of hurt, but know that i am proud of you, dearest. you fought well. tell me, beloved star, how can i help you ?? ❞
she supposed that saying she did not have a favorite star would be a lie. brilliant brighta, a gem above the rest. silken flesh quirked into the subtlest of smiles as the primordial goddess settled next to the star; molten amber glimmered with unabashed amusement. ❝ oh, my darling star. what have they done to you ?? ❞ a soft, warm hand cupped the star's face, thumb brushing against the soft flesh.

contentment radiated from the celestial phoenix as she practically melted into rúyì's lap, a pleased hum rumbled within her cosmic ribcage. a delicate hand reached up to grasp the other's free one, pulling it to her chest. dark lashes fluttered as hyeon released a quiet sigh, body going lax.
❝ mmm, i care little for their pissing matches. if i could behead all of them and let the new generation lead without quelling a rebellion, i would. alas, though i am their cosmic empress, even my hands are tied. ❞
supple lips curled into a pout as the goddess nuzzled deeper into rúyì's stomach, slowly stretching until her limbs were splayed over the edge of the chaise. the repetitive brushing of fingers through silken strands lulled her into a drowsy trance, pleased chirps escaped at every scratch of manicured nails against her sensitive scalp.
❝ they truly require patience that i do not have, yet love to over-exert. utterly ridiculous. ❞
Rúyì turned her head, smiling as she glanced down at her friend and treasured companion. Slender fingers carded through the phoenix goddess's silken hair as she shook her head, dangling earrings swinging with the movement.
“I've said so before, and I'll say it again,” A sigh, “Nobody can govern empires the way we can. The upstarts who think they have the balls often lack the brains to carry such an operation through.”
She continued to caress Hyeon's hair, idly brushing through it and enjoying the long cascade of dark strands that her fingers glided through, like dipping one's fingers into water.
“As much as I'd love to... delete some of these imbeciles, there would be nobody left to do anything properly if I did that.”
