I'm yours, but you're not mine

Prompt H

I had so much fun working on this with the wonderful Andylind-Queen @shadowofnight ! The process for me definitely had its ups and downs and I was this close to scrapping the entire thing before seeing sense. And now we present an amazing Andylind fic just in time for Andylind August and not at all late for RBB!

Read the fic to the art here:

[fitztragedy]

Happy Birthday Anne @shadowofnight!!

Andreas gets wounded during a sparring lesson. Rosalind helps.

[simplytheevebest]

Rosalind: Saul, Andreas, you both asked for time off tomorrow but I need one of you to work. Figure this out and get back to me

Saul: I can't cancel, I asked Farah on a date and she finally said yes

Andreas: I'm not cancelling either. I have dinner plans with my parents

Saul: I thought you hated your parents. You call them "smiley-morons" and "hug freaks"

Andreas: Plans are plans, I'm a badass not an anarchist

Saul Silva x reader - always by your side

Can you write a story with a reader (student or teacher) who learns that Saul is pardoned during season 2 please? - @djino04 ���

Alfea hadn’t been the same since Saul was arrested, and even though you wanted to leave, the only reason you stayed was for Sky, but you threw your all into your training and your work.

Even when it came to the Alumni event, you refused to take part and attend though there was many questions for you to do so.

You didn’t want to take part, so you refused.

And there was nothing they could do about it, because Rosalind and Andreas both knew that if you didn’t want to do something, there was no amount of threats or pain that would make you do it.

So they left you to it, deciding it would be good to have at least one teacher out patrolling around the school.

And that’s where you had been all night, headphones on as you trained in the specialists training ground, honing your fire and lighting up the training ground in a series of red or Orange light.

Even as the night drew on, you didn’t stop, your mind was solely focused on one thing now, and that was getting stronger.

You didn’t trust Rosalind and Andreas one bit, and someone had to be willing to protect the students, so you were pushing yourself beyond the limits every day to increase your strength and endurance.

As the sun was coming up, you decided to take a break and you sat down on the grass, drinking some water from your bottle, you slid your headphones down your neck as you took a deep breath.

“Professor (L/N)?!”

You snapped your head up and furrowed your brows a little bit.

“Bloom, what’s wrong?”

She jogged over and handed you something and you looked at her smiling face.

“I was asked to give you that, Sky said I could find you out here.”

“Alright, is that everything?”

She nodded her head and you nodded as well, settling the envelope down on the grass, putting your bottle on it, you took a few moments to rest before standing up.

“I really think you read it Professor.”

You turned to bloom and rose a brow at her and she picked it up, holding it out to you again, stepping back as she clasped her hands behind her back.

“Bloom im training.”

“Please read it.”

Sighing heavily you opened it and held the envelope in your hands as you unfolded the paper, and you carefully read the first half.

“I don’t understand..” you mumbled.

You looked up and you realised she had walked away, but you found a familiar face walking across the training grounds towards you.

You were frozen in place, and you stared at the man who carried on walking over.

“No…”

Letting the paper fall from your hands, you slowly began to walk, then you began to jog into you were running towards him.

And when you were close enough you crashed into him, hugging him tightly as you both dropped to your knees.

Saul hugged you back tightly, pressing his forehead against your head as you buried your face into the crook of his neck.

“H..how…? What…?”

“I’ve been pardoned..” he whispered back.

You pulled away from him and you looked at him, tears falling from your eyes.

The face you missed staring at so much, the face of your best friend.

“Does that mean..?”

Saul smiled softly and he nodded his head, letting you hug him tightly once more.

“I can stay..”

“Jesus Christ Saul..”

He laughed a little bit, hugging you as tightly as he could without hurting you.

“Didn’t think you’d get rid of me that easily did you?”

You slapped his back and he chuckled again, resting his chin on your head.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and he smiled to himself.

“Thank you for staying for him…”

“I promised you I’d look after him.”

Saul nodded a little bit, and he carried on hugging you.

Your tears soaked his shirt, but they weren’t tears of sadness this time, they were tears of happiness, tears of joy to have you best friend back by your side.

You had grown up with him, you had never been away from him, you two were always right next to one another, like a package deal.

So when he was arrested, it destroyed you, and filled you with a rage that could barely been contained.

And you were still angry.

But you were overjoyed with the fact he had been pardoned, with the fact he wasn’t an enemy of the realm anymore, and he wasn’t on the run.

You were happy beyond words to know that he was excused from it, and he could help you make things right at the school, and make the school safe once more.

Because you were best friends, and despite everything that had happened, you swore you’d always have each others backs.

So you needed him with you, so you could stand side by side and face the challenges that were to come because truth be told? You knew you couldn’t do it any longer by yourself.

And going by the way he was hugging you for dear life, something told you Saul couldn’t handle this on his own anymore either

Hello again! ☃️

I hope you’re able to get some rest this weekend! ❤️

I have to admit I’m absolutely in favour of Andreas starting a snowball fight while Saul is teaching, and why not Saul using this as a good lesson on the importance of strategy. Saul for the win! 

I’m still at the stage of brainstorming ideas for your gift, and I had two new questions I’d love for you to answer. Probably the easy one first: would you want Saul and Andreas to be together from the beginning of the fic or do you want to see some evolution in their relationship? Perhaps you don’t have a preference, in which case it’s completely fine! 

My second question is about fic tropes or styles (like 4 times X didn’t do Y and one time he did…). Are there tropes in fics that you dislike? I’d love to know what your pet peeves are to be sure I stay far far faaaaar away from something that you wouldn’t enjoy! 

So these are my questions regarding your gift! Now, a question out of pure curiosity, what made you love Saul and Andreas as a pairing? What do you love about them? I’d absolutely love to know what makes this ship special for you✨

Take care, Your anon who’s become a complete fan of this emoji ☃️ after send you the previous asks (can you blame me when this is such a cute snowman?) 

Hi my anon ☃️,

Yes, it's good to be away for the weekend, I hope yours is going well.

As for your first answer, I don't really care, the only thing is that it ends with Saundreas. So it's up to you to decide what you want to write about it :)

For your second question, the only style I can think is poetry or something like that. Or songfics (even though I wrote some at one time, I wanted to write one even though I don't like reading them, look for the mistake). But otherwise, I don't have any worries about the ideas you've set out and I can't think of any others I'd have a problem with.

I discovered Saundreas thanks to the superb @penflicks and that's really what made me love this couple. Otherwise, I'll give you lots of reasons in no particular order, depending on how they come to me. I love the complexity of their relationship, the fact that Saul had to kill his lover, raise Andreas's son (so Andreas had an affair with someone else at some point), and that Andreas finally reappeared after 16 years. I love the fact that Rosalind forces them to work together again (even if, unfortunately, we don't see it in the series). I love the fact that Andreas is clearly still obsessed with Saul, otherwise he wouldn't have smashed Sebastian's head against the glass. And Saul has always been obsessed with Andreas, otherwise he wouldn't have built a museum about him in Sky's bedroom. I love that Andreas could have killed Saul with the arrows in the forest (because yes, presumably he knows better aim than that) and that he clearly helped him escape otherwise he would have come with real soldiers and not fallen into the obvious fairy traps. I love the fact that Saul raises Sky by portraying Andreas as a hero, but in the end Sky is more like Saul than Andreas (except for the emotional management part). I love the fact that Andreas sacrificed himself to save Saul at the end.

Sorry about all that, I must have bored you with it. But it's the first time I've thought about why I like this couple and it's a very interesting exercise to do

Take care, and I'm also fan of ☃️:)

[rivusa]

Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

au | On a December night, Rosalind breaks Andreas' heart and sends him away on a difficult mission. When he doesn't make it back alive, she regrets her decisions.

[faytalepsy]

Andylind + kiss #14 (casually)

"You're getting too old for this."

Her sharp gaze snapped up, lips thinning just enough to show he was on very thin ice.

"Fortunately you have me to help you out."

He placed the cup of coffee on her desk and on a whim leaned in further, brushing a featherlight kiss to her cheek.

Rosalind just grunted in mild annoyance, reaching for the coffee.

"Fortunately you are still useful to me. You better keep it that way."

She tipped her cup in a mock salute before taking a careful sip. He watched her swallow, gaze tracing over her tense features. There seemed to be nothing but frustration etched into the lines on her face lately.

"Oh and here I was thinking I've already proven my worth." When she just snorted in answer before turning back to whatever document occupied her desk at the moment he decided to lean in again until she could feel his breath tickle her ear.

"You seemed to be pretty satisfied last night."

"Oh shut up."

[amchara]

Riven and Bloom for multishipper challenge 🤪

Oooh, two excellent characters to choose to multi-ship.

To start, I actually ship them together with Sky, especially if there is a significant time-skip (say- 1 year or more) between Bloom disappearing and returning from the Realm of Darkness.

Other ships for them that I like:

Riven - Sky x Riven (codependent best friends, amirite? 😀), Riven x Beatrix (classic), Riven x Beatrix x Dane (despite being canon, why is this rare? 😫), Riven x Stella x Beatrix (look- they'd domme the fuck out of him, and he'd thank them for it 💀) Riven x Musa (yes, I ship the popular one too), Riven x Flora (they had chemistry! it'd be fun) and look- I'd even ship Riven x Terra if she was into it. I think I can't see Riven x Aisha but look, I am willing to be persuaded. And Riven/OC (especially if a male OC 👀). I don't think I'm super into Riven x the older characters... but you know what, I could see myself enjoying some Riven x Andreas as darkfic 👀 Or you know- some dubcon Riven x Rosalind.

... Riven is just that kinda character, y'know? 😅

My list for Bloom is much shorter but I still ship her with multiple people so... Bloom x Sky (it's just that classic YA of powerful girl x simp boy 🥰), Bloom x Stella (it'd be hot and I like the rivalry vibes), Bloom x Andreas (it's twisted but umm yes), Bloom x Beatrix (I ship most people with Beatrix- she is the fandom little black dress imo) and okay, it's a little random but I had this thought during episode 2.01 - Bloom/Marco? Like- two powerful student fairies (not her suitemates) hitting it off.

So- if you have any recs for any of the above pairings, hit me up!

Or - ask me more about character multi-ships

Andylind + Being sick AU

I would say it’s plausibly canon, except I’m pretty sure it’s softer than canon would ever be. But this is meant to be an AU, so ... success?

1. There are terrible patients — and then there is Rosalind Hale.

2. Ben makes up some disgusting herbal concoction that he says will help with the symptoms. She doesn’t doubt it will, but it still tastes horrendous, and so she drinks far less of it than she probably should. There’s something about being sick that makes her feel like the petulant child she never truly was, and it has her ignoring the mugs that appear pointedly at her elbow throughout the day, which in turn leads to Andreas sitting there staring at her even more pointedly until she drinks. In normal circumstances she could out-stubborn him, but she’s not really herself right now, not with her head full of cotton wool and her lungs full of muck.

3. Of course she gets a fever, because her body doesn’t care why she’s ignoring her medication, just that she is. It doesn’t help that they’re still out in the field, or that it’s been pissing down rain for the last few weeks. She’s pretty sure she remembers opening her eyes at one point to Andreas dozing in a chair beside her cot, but her limbs had felt as heavy as the blankets piled atop her still-shivering body, and she lets sleep pull her under. (She’s pretty sure the fever was high enough that she said some ridiculous things, and she’s furious at her body for betraying her like that, but even if she can see the question in his eyes when she opens hers next he doesn’t say anything about it. If anyone has to see her like this, she thinks, at least it’s him.)

4. It turns out that she did talk, in the delirium of her fever. He won’t tell her what he heard, but his mental defences have never been particularly good and even if he doesn’t say anything aloud she catches pieces that bleed past — pieces that she wraps up in the steel of her own shields and locks away so no one else can find them. She considers, for a long moment, whether she should lock them away from him as well; it would be easy enough, for a fairy of her skill and power, to do that. But she does trust him, more than she does anyone these days, and she can feel the echo of how he’d looked at her in those moments in his own thoughts, and so she leaves them as they are. They will be one more secret of hers that she gives to his keeping.

5. It’s not just talking that happened in the fever delirium, though. She doesn’t notice at first, but when he hands her the mug of an entirely different kind of tea after her fever breaks — overly sweet but no longer tasting like a rotting meadow — she sees light bandages wrapped around his hands. “Your magic got erratic,” is all he says, but images once again bleed out of his mind, snapshots of arced lightning and shattered crockery and burned flesh and the slow ooze of blood from hairline cuts. “It’s not that bad,” he reassures her, when she slants a look at him over the rim of the mug, and though she’s sceptical, his thoughts only reassure her that he would take far worse for her, whether she asked or not.

6. “A week?” she echoes, appalled, when he tells her how long she’s been laid up sick. “Who’s been leading the army while I’ve been here?” (It’s not as bad as she feared, but it’s nothing she’s particularly happy about, either. She has come to expect certain things, and it’s never easy when things outside of her control change — especially when they should have been under her control.)

7. The next time he reminds her to get some rest so that she doesn’t end up sick, she thinks back to the aftermath, and though she grumbles, she concedes.

#and how bloom literally walks the walk that marion did

#its about the fact we're doomed by the narrative babyyyy

#falls to the ground

pls elaborate (genuinely) i am dumb and i did not understand

you're not dumb at all anon! I just forget people cannot hear the mental essays I'm constantly rambling on lmao

Fate is very much a cyclical tale, we mention the sins of before: the war a 1000 years ago, the first Dragon Flame, Rosalind's 1st regimen, Andreas and Saul's fallout - and then we poise them against the present: the blood witch x fairy remaining conflict, the reappearance of the Dragon Flame, Farah's regimen and later Rosalind's 2nd one, Saul raising Sky vs Andreas raising Beatrix.

The narrative asks the question "will the mistakes be repeated? Can we change our fate? Can we do differently than we were taught?"

Bringing it back to skloom, the narrative asks this of Sky, in full words. Marco asks Silva "does he have the same bloodlust as Andreas?" and Silva says "We've taken our time with him. We've been careful. He's his own man."

So the question is "Is he?" Is Sky his own man or is he doomed to follow the footsteps of his biological dad?

Season 2 opens with Silva saying "It's been a few months and you're already starting to sound like him, Sky."

But not only that, we follow Sky's character as he gets closer and closer to Silva's. He kills his own father. He unravels. He drinks enough that when he's knocked out by a blood witch and other's blame it on booze, he doesn't even question it.

And finally we end season 2 taking away the person he loves. So cyclical, the question stays, will he follow into his father(s) footsteps or is Sky his own man?

Bloom is an entire other can of worms. Bloom's cycle is deeper, older and unknown to herself. She comes to Alfea having hurt someone she loved and afraid of her own powers, she spends a whole season and a time skip learning to control her powers, only to bite her own tail and end up where she began: having killed someone with her powers, scared of herself and what she'd do, feeling like she doesn't belong.

And again we're told by the show, "I'm dangerous Sky, my mom knew that. That's why she sealed herself away. The Dragon Flame doesn't belong here. I don't belong here," metaphorically putting Bloom back exactly where she began - the question: where do I belong? Can I come home? -, but literally too as Bloom walks through the portal exactly as her biological mother did and shuts herself away, walking the path to, presumably, meet with the woman herself.

Fate is about generational trauma and the tragedy of repetition, and the hanging question, "Can we change our fate?"
