#anniversary letters

[bellafragolina]

Roseli, my PLA oc that I haven’t done anything for in a while, she/her. A letter from Laventon? Could be love letter that he’s too scared to send.

Roseli,

Hello, my dear Hello, my friend! You've been gone for a week now, off on a mission wit the Security Corp. Jubilife is the same as ever, but without you, I feel somewhat lonely. Your stories about your life were always wonderful to hear, and I wish you were here to tell more. Or maybe I could tell you some! And you'd be impressed with me

I hope to be able to speak to you once you return. There are many things I'd like to discuss. Not only about the dex, mind you. Your aid with my research is invaluable and greatly appreciated, but I'd prefer to talk one-on-one. Discuss our the future.

Not that you'll ever read this. Hopefully it gives me confidence, bravery, like you always carry. Legends help me.

Forever yours,

Laventon

Happy Birthday to the one and only!!!!!!

Painted this last year, added the text today! His wings are actually glittery acrylic, the majority is acrylic gouache. I had a lot of fun doing the wood texture on the barn and the feathers on the wings!

(ID under cut)

[ID: A photograph of a painting of Castiel from Supernatural.

It is a repaint of the scene from S4 E1 Lazarus Rising where he shows off his wings to Dean inside the barn. His eyes are glowing, his coat and tie are fluttering in the wind, and his blue-black, shiny wings are reaching up and out into the white border surrounding the painting. Scratchy digital text reads "I'M THE ONE WHO GRIPPED YOU TIGHT AND RAISED YOU FROM PERDITION" overlaid and distorted so that it runs over the ceiling, his wings, his chest, and the walls behind him.

At the bottom it is signed "AERIALWORMS". /End ID]

Hi! Just saw the post and I really couldn’t help myself!

Could I get a letter from Ingo to Ophelia (she/her)? She was invited to go study Miniors in Alola and it’s been a month at this point, but she’s expected to come back in a few weeks. But Ingo still can’t help missing her so much and (if this part is fine but it’s okay to leave it out) also tells her how much Emmet misses her too. But also excited about hearing and seeing what she’s learned in person.

Thanks so much, hope your day goes nice!

Ophelia,

My love, I hope you're having the best time in Alola. You were so excited to get to go and study there, and I hope it's been everything you've dreamed of and more! I cannot wait for you to return and tell me and Emmet all you've learned about.

However, on that topic, I wanted to let you know we both miss you sorely. Emmet has taken to sleeping with one of your shirts wrapped around a pillow to try and emulate your presence in his bed. I admit it is not a bad idea, and I might take it up myself. I miss having your warmth by my side each night.

Please know we are thrilled you get to study out in the world, do what you love to do. But we can't help but miss you at the same time. You are our everything, our sweetest darling, and we have formed a three-car train. Even though Emmet and I have operated as a two-car train for some time, I can't help but not want to go back to such a time, especially now that we've gotten to experience your car connected to ours.

Please enjoy yourself. And know that when you come home, Emmet and I will be celebrating alongside all our friends and family! You deserve to be celebrated!

I love you,

Ingo

"am i dreaming?"

Arthur realizes Merlin's got a little crush.

word count: 1.3k

for my beloved, @bellamyblakru <3 thank you to @sourdough-morbread for proof reading! <3

“Merlin! Merlin, where are you?!”

Ever since Merlin realized that he was hopelessly in love with Arthur, he had been avoiding him.

Or trying to at least.

For days, Merlin had been having strange sensations in his stomach and heart whenever he was near Arthur, and he had become worried that he caught some sort of disease. That is, until he went to Gaius with his symptoms, who only laughed at him before revealing what was really going on. That was two nights ago.

Right now, Merlin was hiding in Gaius’s wardrobe. That was his first mistake.

Arthur burst through the door, looking around frantically.

“Merlin!”

“What is it, sire?” Gaius asked, trying and failing to act shocked that Arthur was here searching for Merlin.

“Where’s Merlin?” Arthur stood with his hands on his hips, trying to hide the desperation he felt.

“Oh! He’s… he’s at the… tavern, sire,” Gaius replied as he glanced at his wardrobe. If he could see through the doors, he would see Merlin cursing the day they met.

“The tavern… At this hour of the morning?”

Gaius laughed, but it came out more like a grimace.

“What do you need him for? Is there anything I can do for you?”

Arthur hesitated, searching for an excuse. The truth was that he missed Merlin. And he was hurt by the manservant ignoring him all of a sudden. “Uh, yeah... he hasn’t… polished my armour.”

“Alright, I’ll tell him to do that immediately as soon as I see him.”

With a brisk nod, Arthur left, shutting the door behind him.

“The tavern? Again!?” Merlin couldn’t help but shout as he flew out of his hiding spot.

“Oops,” Gaius replied, having the decency to look a little sheepish.

An hour later, Merlin was still trying to muster up the courage to face Arthur when he realized that he could just go polish the armour in the armory and sneak away unnoticed. 

But what he didn’t know was that Arthur had had his armour placed in his room for this very reason. He was gonna put an end to Merlin’s avoidance.

Merlin entered the armory, looking around for Arthur’s chestplate and coming to a stop when it was nowhere to be seen. After asking another servant who informed him that the armour is, in fact, in Arthur’s chambers, Merlin’s face felt hot. How could he go in there after realizing his feelings? He’ll just be a blubbering mess in front of Arthur.

Filled with nerves and the overwhelming urge to jump into a hole in the ground, Merlin slowly made his way to Arthur’s chambers. After pacing for at least 5 minutes, he finally walked up to the door and knocked quietly, hoping Arthur wouldn’t hear it.

“Come in.”

Cursing silently, Merlin stepped inside while keeping his eyes down.

“Sire, Gaius said you needed your armour polished?” he asked innocently, looking around the room for it and making sure to not look at Arthur himself. Only there was a slight problem.

The armour was on the dinner table. And the king was standing right in front of it.

Arthur fixed Merlin with what can only be called a glare, his arms crossed in front of him.

“Merlin.”

The manservant audibly gulped as he looked up at Arthur only to look away immediately.

“Where have you been? I haven’t seen you since two nights ago.” 

Merlin was shocked to realize that Arthur sounded… sad? He had thought he would be furious with him. He looked back up at the king before responding.

“Um, I was busy… sire.”

“At the tavern?”

Merlin's eyes widened as he blurted out, “No!” He scratched the back of his neck and looked around awkwardly before continuing, “I mean um… No, I was just helping Gwen. With… you know…”

He jumped slightly when Arthur cut in sternly, “No. I don’t know. Helping her with what, exactly?”

“Her… house? Yes, she needed some help with her house. It’s… broken.”

Arthur nodded slowly, staring at Merlin.

“Her house. Right.”

“Yep,” Merlin replied while looking a bit guilty.

After a few moments of awkward silence, Merlin finally glanced up to see Arthur looking completely dejected, his eyes downcast. Panic flared through him. What was wrong with Arthur?

Just as he was about to ask, Arthur snapped.

“Well, if you could remember your real duties and complete them on time for once, that would be great.”

Arthur turned and walked away as he said this, leaving behind a surprised and confused Merlin.

“Right, the armour…” he mumbled, completely at a loss. What was going on? Was Arthur angry at him?

After the most painfully awkward 20 minutes of his life, Merlin finally finished polishing the armour. Unsure of what to do next, he slowly approached Arthur who was sitting at his desk.

Arthur didn’t look up.

Merlin cleared his throat. Still nothing.

“Uh, sire?”

Silence.

“I‘ve polished your armour… Was there anything else?”

Arthur slammed the quill he was holding down on the desk before looking up at Merlin, startling him again.

“That’s it then? You’re just gonna leave like nothing is wrong?”

Merlin practically broke out into a sweat, confused and panicked by Arthur’s behaviour.

“What… what’s wrong, sire?”

Arthur abruptly pushed away from his desk and came around to stand directly in front of Merlin before answering, “You really don’t know?”

Merlin shook his head, his nerves in overdrive. He struggled to maintain eye contact with Arthur, his face starting to flush under the close scrutiny Arthur was giving him. The close proximity wasn’t helping either.

And at the worst possible moment, his gaze fell to Arthur’s lips.

As quick as he looked at them, he ripped his eyes back up to Arthur’s, with his face feeling like he had put it inside the fireplace.

Suddenly, Arthur’s demeanour changed completely. His face relaxed as he took a step back before his lips turned up at the corners.

“Oh. Now it all makes sense, doesn’t it, Merlin?”

Merlin felt sweat dripping down his side. What on Earth was going on?

“What?” he choked out.

“I know why you were avoiding me.” Arthur was smiling now, his eyes sparkling.

“You do?” Merlin blurted before mentally slapping himself. “I mean- I wasn’t avoiding you…”

Arthur chuckled lightly before replying, “Right. It was for the same reason that I missed you so terribly yesterday.”

Now Merlin was really confused, his brain scrambling to figure out what was happening.

Arthur took a step closer, causing Merlin to step back as his face burst into flames again. The tension in the room was becoming palpable and Merlin had no idea what to do. Arthur kept stepping closer until Merlin felt his back hit the wall behind him.

“Did you miss me?” Arthur asked.

Merlin could barely breathe, let alone speak. “Huh?”

Arthur put his hand on the wall beside Merlin’s head before continuing, “Did you miss me when you were avoiding me all day?”

Merlin was like a deer caught in headlights, his hands pressed to his sides, frantically looking back and forth between Arthur’s eyes. They were absolutely stunning from this close.

After another few seconds, Arthur spoke in a low, soothing voice, “It’s okay. You can tell me.”

With his heart ready to beat right out of his chest, all Merlin could do was nod slightly.

Arthur smiled again, moving his other hand to brush Merlin’s cheek.

“You’re so cute when you’re flustered,” he teased, admiring Merlin’s blush.

“Am I dreaming?” Merlin blabbed, his mouth completely dry. That was the only explanation for what was happening right now.

“Oh, so you dream about me?” Arthur giggled, “That’s good to know.”

“What!? No, sire- I mean Arthur, I-

Merlin couldn’t finish what he was about to say when Arthur pressed his lips against his.

After only a couple seconds, Arthur pulled back but only just. He smirked at the dazed look on Merlin’s face before asking, “Was that in your dream too?”

Merlin didn’t know it was possible to blush this hard.
