28/5 Ruffles & 30/5 Escape Word Count: 598
(fame au) @pandalilymicrofics
Red carpets and public events had really never been Pandora’s favorite thing in the world. It all felt a bit fake, more so like acting than some of the actual acting jobs she’d done to land her there in the first place.
But it all became far more bearable when she was there with someone else. Specifically when that someone else was renowned model and producer Lily Evans.
Pandora simply watches the way Lily moves through the crowds of people effortlessly. Inadvertently dodging nosy questions with daring smiles and vague comments. Posing gracefully for each different camera flash that washes over her pale skin. Making her appear to glow slightly from the inside out in a way that could only be described as ethereal.
Just standing there admiring every inch of Lily from the ruffles of her dark green gown to the shimmer of her earrings as they sparkle with each way that she turns her head.
Every now and then, in between answering her own assortment of questions and posing for the cameras directed at her, Pandora will catch Lily’s eye. Sharing passing moments between the two of them, trading their own lingering gazes.
“A bit distracted there, are we?” Pandora thinks she hears one of the reporters ask her as she stares off into the distance. Watching Lily from her place on the carpet a couple meters behind.
She hums a bit in recognition. Laughing silently to herself as she knows just how good of a job the makeup team had done at concealing the varying bruises dotting both of their necks mere hours ago. Thinking of all the layers of their relationship that no one else here knows anything about. A secret kept safe between the two of them, just waiting to be told.
“Do you wanna escape?” A familiar voice asks her suddenly. Effectively cutting off her train of thought and breaking through the harsh noises surrounding them. A hand already placed gently on the small of her back, moving them along with the flow of the carpet and towards a small break in the crowd.
“Lily!” Pandora whispers, her smile lighting up a bit as she completely melts into the touch of the other women.
They pause one final time to allow yet another wave of camera flashes and questions to engulf them. Pandora allows herself to be completely in the moment, the only thing she’s paying any attention to is the reassuring hand on her back and the light breath ghosting the side of her neck.
Leaning back slightly to capture Lily’s lips in a sudden quick kiss. And then turning back to the awaiting cameras to smirk slightly as her only response to the drama she’s just created.
Lily quickly takes Pandora by the hand to guide her away from the sudden commotion the two just caused.
As they finally melt away from the scene Pandora can just make out the last few unanswered questions asked by stunned reporters.
Barely distinguishable query’s of “are you and Miss Evans now in a romantic relationship?” And “So how long have you two been keeping this private from the public? Is this a new development or just a well kept secret?”
But none of it matters as they move through the hoards of people and make their way to the nearest exit. Giggling between themselves as Lily’s hand moves to wrap around Pandora’s waist. Pandora's arm swinging around Lily’s shoulder, twisting her loose curls in between her fingers slightly.
Both without another care in the world, completely immersed in their love for one another.

Being a traveler multishipper is so fun because there's always something for any trope you want no matter what mood you're in.
Xiaother/Xiaolumi? They're so soft. Canonically they're very close friends who care for each other a lot. Xiao's pain lessens in the traveler's presence. He wants to protect them and tells them to call his name whenever they're in danger. He's so shy and afraid of hurting people, but attends events because of the traveler. He was ready to die to save them. They got him to write poetry. They're both old and hurting and in need of a break and so many hugs.
Scaraether/Scaralumi? He tried to kill them when they first met. He destroyed their friend's clan. He mocked Teppei's death and likely would've killed them if Miko didn't trade the gnosis. The traveler had to fight him 168 times before they were able to defeat him for real. They then became allies and held hands. When he erased himself, they freaked out and went out of their way to bring him back. They're still not friends, but they aren't as hostile to each other as before. The part of my brain that craves enemies-to-lovers eats this ship up.
Albether/Albelumi? When the traveler met Albedo, he instantly wanted to study them, and they let him. At the end of his story quest he makes it clear that he wants to rely on them (If one day, I lose control… destroy Mondstadt… destroy everything..Can I rely on you to stop me?) They looked at him and memorized his appearance enough to notice that susbedo was missing the gold star marking, and they didn't judge him for being a homunculus. They're so sweet to each other when they meet during events. He probably studies them off screen. I like to think that he made a bunch of portraits of them, too. He literally says that he's interested in them in his teapot voicelines. This ship opened my eyes to scientist x test subject.

Inktober day 9: nightmare
They are the most adorable found family to ever found a family and I love them
Also vague context/idea for this was that Hunter gets nightmares a lot in the human realm and cuddles with Gus to fall asleep and this is kinda in the middle of where they do this enough that Gus expects it but it’s not a full routine yet. But at some point they just end up going to bed together every night.
(Also willow would prob find it so cute and take a bunch of pictures to show Luz and amity hehe)
