now that we know anaxa's tragic backstory (god. ow.)
a reader who treats the dromas doll his sister made him as well as they treat anaxa himself. reader spooning anaxa so he can hold the doll in his arms as he sleeps. reader always putting the doll in a place of honor at the top of the bed every morning, making sure it's never on the floor or dusty, sewing it up and pulling blankets around it or purchasing a pet-hat to put on its head.
sometimes anaxa grumbles that they love the doll more than him, but it's a jest; they honor the fact it represents his sister and is very near and dear to him.
I’m still reeling a little after finishing the story. This part was so bittersweet.
Anaxa immediately notices how you take to one particular dromas in his collection, the first one in it given to him by his sister. He sees how careful you are with it, always placing it on top of the pillows after making the bed every morning. Whenever you move it around, it's with both hands cradling it. He also catches you stitching up any holes you find, hands doing a thorough job with the needle and thread.
Anaxa will find the doll placed in different areas of your home: on the couch, looking out the window, even on his desk one time. When he asks you about it, you explain that you wanted to "give him a change of scenery" like it was the most natural thing in the world. Eventually, you even knit a small blanket to lay over the dromas' back, accompanying him wherever you place him.
At night, the doll has a spot nestled between your bodies. Anaxa has one hand on you and another keeping it against his chest so one of you doesn't accidentally roll over it in your sleep.
"I swear, sometimes I think you love it more than me." Anaxa watches you press a gentle kiss to its forehead before handing it to him. He can't blame you though. The doll holds a special place in his heart as well.
"I love it because I love you." He gazes at the dromas' smile stitched on by his sister. His mind flashes back to her face before he looks up to meet you softly smiling at him. The black tide may have taken his sister, but at least the world blessed him by sending you.

HOSTAGE──★
when you’re suddenly taken from them, they do everything to take you back to their side.
cw: gen. neutral reader, kidnapping, violence, slight yandere but i’ll tag it anyways, written on my phone, kremnoan and ohkeman beef, PHAINON LEAK/THEORY SPOILERS!!!!!
hi guys i’m back, in honor of mydei’s banner, im on a posting spree rn
Tumblr media
mydei
being the newest chrysos heir was already no easy job. but being from the rival kingdom of kastrum kremnos made it even harder.
mydei had been walking a narrow path from the moment he claimed his place—too much loyalty to one side, and the other would brand him a traitor. too little loyalty to either, and he risked being swallowed whole by both.
you, of course, stayed by his side; there ever since the journey to slaughter eurypon—a grim memory neither of you spoke of often. you remembered the blood, the screams, the bodies that littered the path behind you. the way mydei had barely slept those nights, keeping one hand curled in a fist and the other on your arm—like letting go of you would mean death.
when the others had died — one by one, torn apart by the horrors that clung to eurypon’s shadow — you had been the only one who survived with him.
it felt like a thread of fate held you two together.
mydei had grown possessive since then—never far from your side, always finding some reason to justify it. you could see the tension coil in his shoulders whenever you spoke to others. the way his eyes lingered too long when someone stood too close.
so when a lowly gang in okhema seen you as his weakness, he was in shambles.
they didn’t know who they were dealing with—not at the time. they thought they’d found an easy target; new to okhema and gullible. mydei’s trusted companion, the one who’d stayed with him through blood and war. the one who knew too much, saw too much.
and most importantly, the one he couldn’t replace.
the gang moved fast. faster than you expected. one minute you were weaving through the crowded streets of okhema, and the next a rough hand yanked you into a shadowed alley.
you fought—hard—elbow driving into someone’s ribs, a sharp kick catching another in the shin. but there were too many. ropes bit into your wrists, a grimy cloth stuffed into your mouth before you could shout.
“kremnoan’s should never get too comfortable somewhere they don’t belong.”
one of them sneered, dragging you deeper into the slums. “think he’ll hand over half his kingdom just to get ‘em back?”
he. they meant mydei.
you struggled harder. you knew what he was capable of.
you managed to spit out the cloth in your mouth, “let me go! you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into!” you tried to plead with them.
this was so frustrating!
being in okhema was supposed to be a fresh start, especially for mydei. the people were nice, and both aglaea and tribbie seemed wonderful.
aglaea even gifted you a new wardrobe with your exact measurements—you weren’t going to question how, but you had your suspicions mydei had something to do with it.
mydei’s rage was a slow burn and once it was ignited, nothing could stop it.
now, mydei was bound to harbor anger in the people of okhema if you didn’t find a way to get out fast enough, before he got here.
you thought back to your old companions, ones who fought so dominantly on the battlefield.
you had to wait for the right moment, for these men to be distracted.
when the chance came, you were quick to rub the rope around your wrists against the hard pavement under you until eventually, it snapped.
wasting no time, you jolted up and ran.
the dim light of the alley barely illuminates your path as you stagger onto the cold cobblestones. every sound is amplified in the silence: your own rapid breathing, the distant hum of the city, and the echo of your footsteps bouncing off crumbling walls.
you can still hear the angry shouts from the gang behind you, their curses fading into the night. but there’s something else. a heavy, anticipatory silence that suggests a reckoning is coming. you know mydei’s fury is inevitable.
your heart pounds in your ears as you press yourself against a rough wall, scanning the darkened corners for an escape route. you realize that you have only minutes—maybe even seconds—to vanish into the maze of alleys, to slip away before his vengeance becomes all too real.
with one last look over your shoulder, you take a deep breath and push forward into the uncertain night, every step a desperate bid to outrun the impending tempest of mydei’s retribution.
with a quick turn around the corner, you were taken off guard by the chest you ran into.
the impact knocks the breath from you. you stumble, barely catching yourself as a pair of intense eyes lock onto yours. mydei stands before you, his presence impossible to ignore—fury and concern mingling in his gaze.
for a moment, the world slows: the pounding of your heart, the ragged rhythm of his breath, and the distant echoes of chaos outside. his hand, strong and sure, grips your shoulder, steadying you. there’s no time for explanations, no room for hesitation.
“i’m here,” he growls, voice low and dangerous, as if every syllable is meant to ward off an unseen threat.
you stood there, struggling to catch your breath and mydei simply observed.
there was no anger; there was just nothing.
which was even worse.
"mydei..!" he continued to just stare at you, looking you over. the only sign of a reaction was the slight twitch of his brow and pointer finger.
he walked away, going towards the way you came.
mydei was going to make sure his position as a chrysos heir was not one to be messed with.
phainon
phainon stared in absolute horror as the flame reaver emerged from the darkness.
he was prepared for another battle with strong being, but he wasn't prepared for it to lunge at you.
it all happened quickly; all it took was one slip-up, one miscalculation, and you were no longer there with him.
when you finally regained consciousness, it felt as if you were floating within time itself; just an endless abyss.
but he was there, you could feel it.
your eyes adjusted to the dark space, the only light coming from what appeared to be stars.
he spoke before you, "i... am not weak this time."
his words carried weight, reverberating through the void like a vow only the cosmos could witness. a hand—his hand—reached toward you, hesitant yet determined.
"every other time, i've failed." you squinted as its hand brought itself up to its masked face, promptly removing the mask.
the familiar blue eyes were staring at you. though, they looked way more clouded and dead. "now, you're here with me, and i don't... i can't let you leave, [name]."
"p-phainon? what..?" you brought your hand up tp your head, feeling nauseous.
he took a step closer, the eerie quiet of the space only broken by the heavy thrum of his breath. "i’ve waited too long, [name]. every failure, every mistake—it’s been for this. i can't lose you again."
his voice was hoarse, raw, like it hadn't been used for years.
your heart raced, and despite the ache in your head, you managed to focus on him, on the way his eyes flickered between desperation and something darker. something desperate.
"you're the flame reaver? i... i don’t understand," you murmured, your voice barely rising above the void's haunting silence.
"you don't have to," phainon whispered, his gaze never leaving yours. "just know, i won’t let you go. not this time."
you could feel his hand trembling slightly as it reached out, brushing the tips of your fingers, as if afraid you might vanish if he held too tightly.
your entire body felt heavy, like something was weighing you down, keeping you trapped in this endless abyss. phainon’s presence was the only solid thing anchoring you, yet even that felt… wrong. his touch was cold, unsteady, as if he wasn’t sure whether to pull you closer or let you slip through his fingers.
"phainon..." your voice wavered, barely above a whisper. "where are we?"
his grip on you tightened ever so slightly. "a place between," he murmured. "a space where time bends, where the past and present blur together." his gaze darkened. "where i lost you before."
his words sent a shiver down your spine. the way he looked at you—it wasn’t just desperation. it was grief, old and worn, like he'd lived through this moment before.
"lost me…?" your fingers curled weakly into the fabric of his coat. "but i’m right here."
he let out a quiet, bitter chuckle, though there was no humor in it. "you always say that."
the stars around you pulsed, and for a moment, the darkness shifted. flashes of something flickered in the void—visions of a battle, a figure reaching out, a violent burst of flames. the echoes of distant screams rang in your ears, but they weren’t your own.
they were his.
your breath hitched. "phainon… what did you do?"
his expression twisted, and for the first time since you awoke, you saw it—fear. not of you, but of your reaction. of your realization.
"i tried," he whispered, his voice barely holding together. "again and again, i tried. but no matter what i did, no matter how strong i became—" he clenched his jaw, his fingers trembling as they curled into fists. "you still died."
his words settled deep in your chest, a weight heavier than the abyss itself.
"but this time…" he exhaled sharply, looking at you like you were the only thing keeping him from completely unraveling. "this time, i brought you here first. before fate could take you away again."
your stomach dropped. "phainon, you—"
"i won’t lose you," he interrupted, shaking his head. "not again. not ever."
the void around you seemed to pulse in response to his words, the stars flickering like they, too, were holding their breath.
and in that moment, you understood.
this wasn’t just a place between time.
this was where phainon had kept every version of you that had ever been lost.
anaxa
irritating. everything about this was extremely irritating.
for that woman to send okhema's soldiers to take you away took a lot of nerve.
anaxa sat in his quarters, fingers drumming against the armrest of his chair, the rhythmic tapping the only sound in the otherwise silent room. his jaw tightened as he recalled the way they had come for you—swift, efficient, as if they had every right to tear you away from him.
as if he would just sit back and allow it.
he let out a slow breath, willing himself to think. acting recklessly would get him nowhere, but the longer he sat here, the worse the irritation festered.
his patience had already worn thin.
he stood abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor as he pushed away from it. his coat billowed behind him as he strode toward the door, purpose in every step.
if aglaea thought she could take you from him without consequence, she was about to be sorely mistaken.
the halls of his residence were empty, the air thick with the quiet tension of something about to break. anaxa had no need for guards; no one would dare to step in his way. yet tonight, the silence felt suffocating. suffocating because you weren’t here.
his fingers twitched at his sides. this wasn’t just irritation anymore. this was anger, slow-burning but ready to consume.
he knew where they had taken you.
it wouldn’t be difficult to reach you—not for him. the real question was how much destruction he was willing to cause in the process.
he sighed, running a hand through his hair before letting it drop. what an annoyance. what a hassle.
but it didn’t matter.
they had taken you from him.
he would take you back.
anaxa didn't care if they needed you at okhema, you were his personal assistant. whatever they needed could have been asked through him
(he ignores them, hence why aglaea sought after you).
by the time he stepped into okhema, the air was thick with the scent of the city—metal, incense, and something faintly electric crackling beneath the surface. okhema’s soldiers weren’t subtle; they never were. it wasn’t difficult to track their route, and anaxa wasted no time cutting through the winding paths that led to the hero's bath outer quarters.
then he saw them.
a squad of soldiers, stationed outside a secured chamber, their stance rigid, their hands hovering over their weapons. they were expecting trouble.
good.
anaxa didn’t slow his stride.
"halt," one of them commanded, stepping forward with a hand raised. "by order of the—"
anaxa didn’t let him finish.
with a flick of his wrist, anaxa held his gun pointed to the soldier's head, his other hand materializing his orb.
"move," he said flatly.
one of them made the mistake of reaching for a communication device.
annoying.
with a simple flick of his fingers, a sharp wave of energy lashed out, slicing through the device before the soldier could utter a word. their breath hitched as the realization sank in.
they weren’t winning this fight.
anaxa stepped closer, his patience nonexistent. "last chance."
the soldiers shared a look before making the smartest decision of their lives. they turned and ran.
cowards.
he continued onward, reaching a secluded room in the bathhouse.
he paused for a moment, his hand on the handle, taking a deep breath. he didn’t know what state you’d be in, but that didn’t matter now.
what mattered was that you were still here.
the door swung open with a smooth motion.
“[name],” he spoke your name like a command, his voice low but steady, holding an edge of urgency.
you looked up, eyes wide, disoriented. but when your gaze met his, something clicked. the tension that had been suffocating him finally lifted.
he stepped inside without hesitation, his eyes locked onto yours. “we’re leaving. now.”

Hi can we please have fluff w Aventurine where reader and him reunite after 2. 1 and just fucking elope start a new life etc? Please I need it.
God yes. This is what we all need after 2.1. I'm aware he is in a coma-like state technically now but for the sake of fluff and this headcanon he is awake from that coma and is now reuniting with you. CW: Spoilers for 2.1 and Aventurines actual name, starts angsty but then turns fluffy, Gn reader, pre established relationship hurt/comfort
I am still accepting requests (especially for aven) btw so if you wanna see something send it in!
Back in your arms
Tumblr media
You had lost track of how long it was since Aventurine left for his mission in Penacony. Has it been 2 months? No, probably more. It had been months since you last had been able to make contact with him. Your messages no longer went through, unable to be sent.
Looking at your textlog and scrolling up, you came across the last message he had sent you. It had come in while you were asleep, and it simply read “I love you”.
Waking up to that message would have been a sweet message for most people, but for you it had made you immensely worried.
 Aventurine was never someone who professed his love openly, so such messages were quite rare. Receiving such a message, especially unprompted, made you send him a barricade of texts, none of which went through and even now months later none were able to be sent.
If you were honest you were starting to lose hope of ever seeing him again, who knows what happened in Penacony after all? He could be…dead for all you knew, you had no way to verify whether that was true or not after all. 
You tried continuing your life on as you would normally, what else could you do? It was hard though, everyday you missed him more and more. Sometimes you imagined his face in a crowd somewhere but whenever you would take a closer look he would vanish.
Sighing you closed your phone and looked around your apartment, it felt so liveless ever since Aventurine was gone. Tears were falling down your eyes as you wondered how much longer you had to live with the uncertainty of where he was and if he was even alive.
Exhaustion was taking over as you began falling asleep. A common occurrence nowadays, since at night you were restless, unable to fall asleep as you worried. Just as you were beginning to fully doze off, you heard the door to your apartment open, immediately waking up.
No one but you and Aventurine had the key, and with him being absent panic coursed through you thinking someone was breaking and entering. You grabbed the nearest heavy thing to defend yourself with.
“For fucks sake…” You muttered as you made your way to where the noises were coming from. Cursing every entity out there for piling even more shit onto you as if your significant other being possibly dead wasn’t enough.
Readying your weapon (probably a heavy book) you stepped foot into the room where the noise was coming from ready to attack and hit the intruder. But once you saw who it was that was in your appartment, you dropped your makeshift weapon, a sob escaping your mouth.
Before you stood Aventurine, alive and breathing. You rubbed your eyes, making sure that this wasn’t your mind playing a cruel trick on you again. Aventurine watched you with a smirk on his, albeit very exhausted looking, face and his eyes held a new found softness you had never seen before.
You fell into his arms immediately, holding him tightly against your body, feeling his warmth. Desperately you grabbed at his clothes as you held on to him, scared this was all just a dream and you would wake up all alone once again. Tears were falling from your eyes, unable to hold them back, the relief washing over you making you let out all of your emotions.
“Wow you missed me that much?” He asked, in his usual teasing tone. Though there was something in his voice that usually wasn’t there. Desperation and a bit of fear. Was he afraid you wouldn’t have missed him? Or was there a deeper reason for it?
Moving away from the hug you grabbed his face in your hands, the tears still falling from your eyes as you took a good look at him. His face had fallen in, and he seemed exhausted. But there was also something in his eyes, his beautiful eyes you were so sure you would never see again, that you couldn’t recognize, having never seen it on him before.
Before you spoke your first words to him, you pulled his face closer and gently kissed him. The feeling of his lips on yours felt like you were floating in heaven. They may have been more chapped than usual, but fuck was it nice to feel him again.  Breaking the kiss you finally were able to muster up your first words to him.
“Fuck…I was so worried about you…I…When my messages stopped being able to sent I was…so sure you…Please…never worry me like that again Aventurine…”
You leaned your forehead against his, your words jumbled together from the adrenaline coursing through you.
He took in a deep breath, and held it for a moment before letting it out. A gesture you saw in many people before they needed to say something important and heavy, but one you never saw in your lover.
“...Kakavasha…” His voice seemed unsure and meek as he spoke. 
You, of course, had no idea what he was saying, so you looked into his eyes confused.
“Wha-”
“Kakavasha…it is…my given name. The one my mother gave me” He inhaled deeply before he continued.
“It is a long story but the short version is…I am no longer affiliated with the IPC, they probably think I died or something. So I no longer go by Aventurine, and…with how close we are and how much you mean to me. I felt like it was appropriate for you to know my true name...”
His eyes refused to look at you, flickering about unsurely as he spoke. Though he tried to sound confident, his voice wavered, scared that you would not accept him for who he truly was and reject his true self.
You looked at him gently and with all the love you had for him, gently pulling him close again and kissing his nose.
“Well then…It is nice to meet you Kakavasha…” You smiled brightly at him, showing him you accepted him as he was.
He felt relief course through his body and could not help himself but pull you into a passionate kiss. He kissed you like you were the oxygen he needed to stay alive. As if he would die without you.
Breaking the kiss he whispered “Marry me.” It wasn’t a question but a request. One that you were too stunned to answer to, looking at him with wide eyes.
“I mean it. Let’s get married, run away from everything and start a new life just you and me.”
His eyes were pleading with you to agree. He knew that he wanted to start over, but he knew he needed you with him.
“...yes!!” You once again fell into his arms and kissed him. The two of you holding each other so closely it was as if you were one.
Kakavasha knew that he would need to tell you everything that happened in Penacony at one point, even the part where he tried to end his life. But he knew that if he explained everything to you, you would still stay by his side and be with him. 
You were his family after all.
