servantverse fluffcember 2024 day 30 - bride

[ no general warnings apply, minus spoilers for ShB and EW ] [ timing: post-EW] [ from a verse written with @fell-court, featuring mentions of lorenza ]

Night had fallen. A blue light settled over the rooms of the cathedral, the moonlight tinted by the stained glass windows, even reaching into the dressing rooms in the Sanctum of the Twelve. Within one such room, Camellia sat seemingly calmly at a vanity, watching as her hair was pinned back with purple wing-like accessories by Cameron.

“...Is it rude of me to say I didn’t know if this day would ever come?” Cameron asked, his voice soft, breaking the silence.

“...Perhaps if I was anyone else. However, I cannot say I expected this to happen either.”

“And yet you were the one to propose.”

Cameron chuckled, taking a brush to straighten Camellia’s hair out. Camellia only gave a soft hum in response.

The day for Camellia to be wed to Lorenza- formally, at least, and not in a quiet and very private setting- had finally arrived. Their pairing was an unusual one, and not only due to the bride being a voidsent princess- but also for the fact that Camellia had always shunned such bonds before. She viewed them as pointless, doomed to fail, and experience had taught her to be wary of others trying to become close to her.

…Yet this bond had formed nonetheless.

It had surprised most that Camellia had been the one to propose. …Truthfully, it had even surprised herself how bold she was. While the two of them had begun courting shortly after the journey to Ishgard, an Eternal Bond was meant to be something much more permanent; a show of devotion that would last lifetimes, symbolized by rings.

Camellia had never been someone certain enough of herself or others to think of such things. But shortly before the journey to the First- after watching the Scions have their souls taken, one by one- she had grown worried of becoming separated and having no way to tie herself to Lorenza, and before she had even fully thought through what she was doing, had begun crafting a ring. …Buying one seemed too impersonal for her tastes, and she wanted to be certain the fit and theme was right.

A ceremony was already held on the First, yes. But this one was a more proper one, with the fate of the world not resting on their shoulders in the process. The Endsinger was defeated, and the temporary ‘disbanding’ of the Scions allowed more room to breathe.

…Well, some things were still pressing, but…

“...Does this make you a princess consort, then?” Cameron asked after a moment.

“I would consider myself more the prince consort type. But… I suppose so, yes. …Although, Cantarella has informed me that Princess Lorenza may not remain princess for certain- the void is ever changing… Regardless, she(?) will ever remain my princess.”

“It’s quite incredible that you refer to her(?) by title even now.”

“Habit, I suppose.” Camellia chuckled, closing her eyes. “...Lorenza. I suppose I have earned the right to refer to her(?) without her(?) title.”

“And yet I have this odd feeling that it won’t stop you,” Cameron remarked, setting the brush down.

“I would argue that my princess has a different meaning to it than to refer to her(?) as your highness,” Camellia responded, opening her eyes to look back at her brother. He smiled in amusement, moving to pick up a white lily resting on the vanity.

“That is true… And you’re much more fond of referring to her(?) as ‘your beloved’ when able to.”

“She(?) is one of the few people to be allowed the privilege. …And I am one of the fortunate few to be allowed to call her(?) that, in turn.”

“Love has made you soft, Lia. It’s a nice thing to see.” Cameron moved to the front of his sister, pinning the lily into her lapel. “...I’d ask if you’re nervous, but you’ve already had a ceremony before. This should be easy, right?”

“Hm. Somehow, the experience has not made it easier,” Camellia responded, rising from the bench to straighten the coat. “...The crowd does not bother me. To have this ceremony in front of others is of no matter. What does affect me is the idea of seeing my princess beside me once more- this time away from the scorching light of the First, and having been able to recover some from that ordeal.”

“Ah- you’re worried you’ll find her(?) too beautiful to speak.”

Camellia cleared her throat, looking away from Cameron. He smiled, shaking his head as he stepped back.

“...Truly, Lia. I don’t think most would believe anyone is capable of affecting you so greatly.”

“...Then they would be wrong.”

“They would, but you’ll be fine, alright? …I’ll be there beside you. And I think her(?) highness would think it’s quite endearing if you ended up unable to say a word…”

“Cameron,” Camellia said, her tone one of warning. Knowing the warning wasn’t one of any real consequence, though, Cameron laughed, smiling brightly.

“Camellia,” he playfully responded. “I’m right! …But you’ve practiced this enough times by yourself. You’ll be fine, really.”

The sound of a bell chiming rang throughout the room, and Cameron glanced over at the doors in surprise.

“Ah!” he exclaimed. “That must be time.”

Gaining no response, Cameron looked back over to his sister who was staring at the doors in silence. He gave a soft sigh, reaching out to take her gloved hand in his own and squeeze it reassuringly.

“...Come on. Your bride is waiting for you. And you wouldn’t want to keep a princess waiting, would you?”

Camellia hesitated before finally giving a nod, taking a deep breath to steady herself. …She knew it was unlike her to act so uncertain, but… Lorenza had a way of making her uncertain. Never in a harmful way, but she was always too mindful of her every word and action in her(?) presence- afraid of making a fool of herself, perhaps.

…But she also knew that she(?) would never judge Camellia for such blunders. And this was hardly their first ceremony; it was simply… One in which both were in more comfortable states. And in Camellia’s opinion, a far more beautiful state, considering the way Lorenza’s wings had finally begun growing out again.

And as stated… She wouldn’t want to keep her princess waiting for long.

“Shall we?” Cameron asked, gesturing to the door.

Camellia nodded once more. “...We shall.”

It was, perhaps, a day of no real import to many others. But for Camellia, it would be a reminder of the steps forward she had taken to entwine her life with another’s-

And for once, the idea seemed much less scary than it may have in the past.

AstroRevelations Vol. XIII – “The Wound She Wore Like a Crown”👑❤️‍🔥

(how to begin healing Lilith by sign and house)

She is rage in lace, power hidden in shame. Lilith is the voice they told you was “too much,” “too dark,” “too dangerous.” Healing her means reclaiming that voice.

Let’s begin where she hides — and where she burns brightest:

♈︎ Aries / 1st House You were punished for being loud, for existing with force. Your anger is sacred. Heal by: letting yourself lead unapologetically. Exercise helps you burn shame into strength. You don’t need to soften for anyone.

♉︎ Taurus / 2nd House You were told your body, your pleasure, your hunger were “too much.” Heal by: grounding in your senses. Eat slowly. Touch what you love. Build security on your terms. Your value isn’t up for debate.

♊︎ Gemini / 3rd House Your voice was silenced, your curiosity shamed. Heal by: reclaiming your words — even the chaotic, contradictory ones. Journal. Speak. Debate. You don’t owe anyone neatness.

♋︎ Cancer / 4th House You were told your emotions were “too much,” or you became the caretaker too soon. Heal by: nurturing yourself first. Set emotional boundaries. Your softness is not weakness, it’s alchemy.

♌︎ Leo / 5th House You were taught to dim your shine or only shine when “approved.” Heal by: expressing yourself without waiting for applause. Make art. Take selfies. You are the moment.

♍︎ Virgo / 6th House You were told to be perfect to be lovable. You overwork to feel worthy. Heal by: breaking the cycle of self-criticism. You are not your productivity. Your chaos has its own sacred rhythm.

♎︎ Libra / 7th House You were expected to always be pleasing, passive, or partnered. Heal by: becoming your own mirror. Practice radical honesty in love. Let yourself be disliked if it means being real.

♏︎ Scorpio / 8th House You were shamed for your intensity, for your sexuality, for your need to transform. Heal by: going deep — but safely. Therapy, shadow work, creative rage. Let death lead to rebirth. Over and over.

♐︎ Sagittarius / 9th House You were punished for questioning, for dreaming too big, for leaving. Heal by: trusting your truth. Travel mentally, spiritually, physically. You’re not meant to be tamed.

♑︎ Capricorn / 10th House You were expected to be strong, successful, composed. You may fear failure more than anything. Heal by: detaching from others' definitions of success. Rest is your rebellion. Power is not always loud.

♒︎ Aquarius / 11th House You were exiled for being “too different,” or you erased yourself to fit in. Heal by: embracing your uniqueness — without apology. Find your people. Lead your own revolution.

♓︎ Pisces / 12th House You absorbed everyone’s pain and lost yourself in it. Heal by: making boundaries holy. Spirituality isn’t escape — it’s your sword. Your sensitivity is sacred, not a flaw.

Lilith isn’t meant to be “fixed.” She’s meant to be freed.

Healing Hands

This is just a short little fic, based on this post here. The tall, broad High-King demanded a drabble aside from the ones I'd already started about him, so what else could I do? He is the High King, after all. 🥰👑

Gil-Galad (RoP) x Half-Elven!Reader

[A/N: This is just fluff.]

Warnings: Spoilers for RoP s2e8, non-graphic descriptions of injuries, mentions of blood, soft!Gil-Galad, affectionate teasing, romantic tension, healing injuries, Gil speaking Quenya, battle aftermath, minor angst with a happy ending.

~*~

Did she truly think she was being subtle with such a limp in her step? The High King and his Herald had led their soldiers and the survivors of Eregion into a valley, establishing around it a protective, magical barrier using the rings of power.

Together, the pair had healed Lady Galadriel, but as they settled her in a soft, flat spot to recover, Gil-Galad saw his lady, clad in her own black-splattered armor, attempting to limp away unnoticed.

"Go. I'll stay with Galadriel," Elrond volunteered quietly, and with a grateful nod of acknowledgement, the King hurried through the trees after her. He hadn't even remembered seeing her struck, but obviously she had been if she was limping.

She didn't get very far. At the edge of a small clearing, he found her sitting with her back against a tree, struggling to remain conscious. His breath caught when he saw how pale she'd become. She'd clearly been hiding this for quite some time.

Without a thought beyond healing his lady, Gil-Galad dropped to his knees beside her and began slicing a window into the leg of her trousers. The cloth parted easily at the behest of his dagger, and at the waft of cool air over her skin, her eyes fluttered open.

"Ereinion?" Her voice was so shaky and quiet. "I'm sorry. Didn't...want to bother you..."

"Hush, I am here, now," he murmured as he beheld the broken-off shaft of an arrow embedded in her leg. She'd lost quite a bit of blood if the dark, drenched fabric of her trousers was any indication. Thankfully, the arrow was not lodged too deeply, and she'd left enough of it exposed for a healer to grip in order to remove it. "Fool of a girl, you should have come straight to me."

She let out a weak laugh at his affectionate scolding.

"Calling your favorite patient a fool? Ondórëa ingaranya," she murmured cupping his cheek and drawing his eyes to her own. There was no real acidity in her tone. Gil-Galad took courage in the fact that she still had enough clarity of mind to tease him. He had, in fact, healed her before, but the injuries were always insignificant and superficial. And, she'd never actively hidden them from him before.

What cause had he given her to do so? Had she been embarrassed?

Without hesitation, he turned his head just far enough to kiss her palm.

"I humbly beg your forgiveness, meldanya." He hoped that she knew he referred to more than his playful jab. He also knew that to call her such, to allow such a slip, would be tantamount to a confession for which he was not certain that he was prepared. But, to call her anything less than his beloved would be a lie. Furthermore, to do so in the aftermath of such rampant death and destruction would summon within his heart guilt in such quantities that he could not abide.

Turning his attention back to her leg, he laid his palm as lightly as he could over her thigh. He whispered in Quenya, allowing the magic from his ring and from his own healing abilities to seep into her skin and numb her pain. Working quickly, he removed the arrowhead and pressed his hand over the wound, murmuring some of the same healing spells he and Elrond had used on Galadriel.

Fortunately, though, this was not a cursed wound as the former had sustained from Morgoth's crown, nor was it as severe. Her skin glowed readily beneath his touch. Within moments, the skin bound itself shut and his lady shuddered in relief as a trickle of light penetrated the canopy of trees overhead to mingle with their own.

Her hand had fallen limply away after mere moments, but Gil-Galad retrieved it once his work was complete, grasping it gently between his own blood-stained fingers. Her pulse beat steady and strong in his grasp, and his eyelids fluttered shut as he breathed a sigh of relief. She would be alright. She had survived.

"Did you mean it?" She breathed, and he was so surprised that she was conscious that his eyes snapped immediately to hers. Despite the dirt and grime coating them both, he felt entirely exposed beneath her gaze - vulnerable and transparent before her.

He relished the sensation of being known so completely. To everyone else, he was Gil-Galad, the High King of Lindon, the bastion of strength from which his people drew their courage when darkness threatened.

To her, he was simply Ereinion. The feeling was more pleasant and intoxicating than he could possibly express.

"You called me your beloved," she continued. "Did you mean it?"

How could he deny it? He loved her. He had for centuries. Since the moment she set foot in Lindon nearly three hundred years before, Gil-Galad had surrendered to the realization that his heart would settle for no other. Her light was beyond compare, shining into even the most uncertain parts of his heart which he hid from all others. She drew him out so easily, comforted him simply by smiling in his direction. She was his strength, his courage, his most luxuriant pleasure and joy.

But, he was a king. Because she knew him, she also knew better than any other how taxing his position was. Over time, he'd convinced himself that she would not wish to bear the burden of ruling by his side, so he'd remained silent - reluctant to steal her own contentment and joy by forcing the responsibilities of a ruler upon her. She deserved to have a life unburdened by the weight of a crown.

In his secrecy, however, his heart had grown accustomed to a more profound loneliness than he'd ever previously known. On too-silent nights in his chambers, he longed to hold her close and whisper poetry in her ear - he'd composed more verses in her honor than he'd expected his heart to harbor. On tranquil mornings before the rush of the day's duties began, he ached with the need to see her curled peacefully in his arms as the light of the sunrise spilled in through the windows.

No longer. After today's battle, Ereinion could no more hold his tongue than the pair of robins who sang so freely in his gardens each morning.

"Yes. With all of my foolish heart, I meant it," he admitted, his heart singing with every word, and she lifted her free hand, threading it lightly into his hair. The King savored the feeling. Never before had she touched him so brazenly - he'd made it clear that she was more than welcome to, of course, but she never availed herself of such liberties.

He bent lower, hoping to encourage her by making his person easier to reach. He felt her bare wrist brush against the tip of his ear - sharper than her own, thanks to her half-mortal parentage - but he could not hide his blush nor the light groan she tugged from his chest.

"You have tempted me...enchanted me since our first meeting. I have eyes only for you, but if you do not feel the same, I swear on my honor that I will not torment you further." The King's oath came from the most sincere depths of his heart. For her, he would. Much as it would pain him, if she wanted nothing to do with his feelings, he would bury them deep so that only he would feel the ache. She would suffer no discomfort at his hands.

Her lips met his, stopping his spiraling thoughts in their tracks, and all his worries fell away beneath the most delicious relief. They were as soft and sumptuous as they looked - as he'd imagined them to be - and Ereinion didn't hesitate to return her affection. He may have healed her leg, but with that once simple act, she had healed the King's heart.

Porsche F1: Ava Florence

Admin: Before we head off to your first Grand Prix, the fans want to get to know you a bit better. So let's introduce you to Australia. Firstly, what's your name and what team do you drive for?

"My name is Ava Florence and I drive for Porsche Penske... ah sh** its Martini right? Damn. Porsche Martini Motorsport Racing."

Admin: The F.I.A might penalize you for swearing.

"Ah I won't show up to community service anyway. Unless he did. If he did, I want pictures please."

Admin: What track are you looking most forward to?

"Spa. Literally grew up five minutes away from it. If I don't win there, I might cry. Suzuka would be cool too. Another home race."

Admin: Who was your racing idol?

"Dunno. Never had one. Of course I watched Vettel and Hamilton and Alonso when I was younger, but never really had someone I wanted to be like. The closest... Michele Mouton. She's amazing."

Admin: What's your relationship with Sebastian and Daniel?

"I love them. Seb is kinda like father. And Danny is big brother. Though I think I'm the smarter one... don't tell him that."

Daniel (Off-Camera): You're welcome!

"And he's flipping me off. Love you Danny!"

Admin: Lastly, what's are you looking to accomplish in your first Grand Prix.

"Win."

AUSTRALIA GRAND PRIX: Once again, Melbourne will host the opening round to a Formula 1 season and the excitement is high. McLaren are looking to capitalize on their massive improvements from last season, defending their crown. Red Bull fell off a cliff at the end of 2024, but they still think they can put a fight with their new driver line up. Ferrari has the most hype around them as they've signed Sir Lewis Hamilton, while Mercedes will try to pick up the pieces after Hamilton left.

         Q1 was a heated session and you could've sworn that this was 2023 all over again. Max Verstappen goes fastest, setting a 1:16.643. Only two other drivers cracked into the one minute sixteen margins. Lando followed Verstappen with a 1:16.720, but Charles narrowly took that second spot with 1:26.715. Both Mercedes out high performances in 1:17 and Lewis Hamilton set the fastest of that bunch of 1:17.062, landing him P4 in the first session. Porsche's were the dark horses, setting times for P5 and P7.

          AVA ROLLED INTO the pit lane, her voice teething on the radio:

FLORENCE I have no pace on the straights. Sector 2 is a joke.

HENRY Understood, Ava. Bring the car into the pits, we'll have a look at the front wing.

FLORENCE Where's Seb?

HENRY He's 5th at the moment. He's running a different set up than you.

THUS the issues began with every new team. Sebastian got the "preferred" set-up, a high suspension to increase speed on the straights and allow him to pick up time during qualifying. But Ava had done it before. She's raced with terrible setups and she's always found a way through... and F1 was her dream. If she was gonna be with Porsche, she was gonna have driving done the beautiful way.

          Q2 was a mixed batch of drivers on top. Verstappen fell off his dominance, but he managed to stay in for the next round at P8. Lando once again topped the timing sheets, but Oscar and Leclerc were catching up, Oscar now cracking into the 1:16 times. Hamilton also managed to break in, but still couldn't manage to stick himself in the top 3. It was Sebastian turn to fall to P9 after fumbling Turn 1 and Turn 3 of his laps. Ava settled herself behind the 7x champion in fifth. Coming into the pits, she remained quiet. She hated every second right now. Sure, fifth was a great start to her first EVER F1 race, but she had to fight the car through every corner to get it to where it was. For that effort, she felt she deserved more. She put on footage from Lando's qualifying lap and waited for the final session to begin.

          LECLERC HAS GONE OFF — he spun is car around in Turn 1 and sent it straight to the gravel, failing to set a time for the final session. This was Lando's chance. With competition from Charles gone, he easily snatched the top timings, but Oscar was there; first sector, green, second sector, yellow, third sector - hard brake, attacking the apex, carrying that momentum into the final chicane - purple. But was it enough?

Oscar Piastri : +.097

OSCAR WAS DEVASTED. P2was a great lap, but to know he was only nine hundreds off pole in his home Grand Prix hurt. However, that wasn't the only salt to his wound.

"We ride on board with Ava Florence as she's about to begin her lap. Martin, why don't you give us some insight."

"Certainly, Crofty. She's just gonna come up on the final corner and activate the DRS and down she goes for her lap. Picks up speed to 8th gear, breaks at the 100 meter mark, down to third, hits the apex, up to fifth. Late braking into Turn 3, a little too late, bad exit off the corner. Nicely hugs the apex into Turn 4 and flat out for Turn 5. Faster than her pedal best by a tenth."

"Now, Ava Florence, that is, the Porsche driver. She was complaining about the bad speeds on the straights. We can see that right here on Turn 5."

"Absolutely, and she's gonna have to make up as much as she can in the corners.. here, she crosses the DRS detection zone, it's a yellow second sector. Turn 9, a hard braking zone, she angles her car beautifully, attacking the apex, but being cautious on the curbs. She carries that momentum into Turn 10 - just look at how fast she is in those corners. DRS Zone now... down to third gear, wide entry into Turn 11, just what she needs and she stays smooth on the throttle in Turn 22. Back into third gear for Turn 14 and beautiful exit out of Turn 14 as she hits the DRS."

"And it will be Ava Florence who will take P2 away from Oscar Piastri. She goes purple on the final sector."

"Unbelievable final sector from that rookie. Like you said Crofty, having to fight that car all day and certainly not an easy afternoon for the lady, but she's made it work. As here comes here teammate Sebastian Vettel climbing up to P6."

HENRY That is P2 for tomorrow. P2. Well done, Ava.

FLORENCE YES! Oh I hated this qualifying so much, but happy with this result. What's an Aussie thing I can say for the fans?

f1

The eyes of our top three in qualifying. Time to hit the grid hard on Sunday. 👊

SUNDAY CAME FAST, and the grid was lined up for the 2025 Formula 1 season. The nerves and expectations were on everyone. Lando couldn't manage to dethrone Max in 2024, but everyone said he can do it this year. He had the fast car, he had the pole position, and all he needed was to maintain it. But Ava was right behind. Rookie or not,  she stole P2 from the second McLaren, arguably the fastest car on the grid right now. Speaking of him, Oscar wanted this race win badly. Every driver dreams of winning a Grand Prix, but many dream of winning their home race. This race was crucial for Oscar, not just for the championship, but for his pride.

          NEXT YEAR IS OUR YEAR was Ferrari's slogan for the past 17 years. This year had to be the year though. They had two mega-star drivers. They invested everything into Leclerc. They invested everything into Hamilton. They were just a millimeter away last year. They want to a mile ahead this year.

"Welcome along to the first round of 2025 Formula 1 Season. We are in Melbourne, Australia at the beautiful Albert Park circuit to kick off the start of what is surely going to be a spectacular season. We've got 58 laps ahead of his round, a 3.28 mile circuit and the lap record, set by Charles Leclerc in 2024. 4 DRS zones here, more than any other circuit, around 14 corners. Let's take a look at our grid."

"It was a wild qualifying this year, like it is every year. The lap record holder spun off in Q3, landing him 10th on the grid. But if any driver can make a comeback, it is him. Drivers to watch out for - obviously, we have the pole sitter, Lando Norris. He's been on fire all weekend. Can he finish the job today?"

"We'll certain see, Martin, but the driver behind him isn't going make it easy. Ava Florence, the rookie for Porsche, stunned everyone yesterday. She'll sits P2, only seven hundredths off Norris' time."

HENRY Okay, Ava. Don't worry too much about your start. Our goal is to make these tires last longer than the competition.

"And that Ava certainly will do. She starts on soft tires for the Grand Prix, but she's running a higher suspension than the rest of the top 10, so she might be out on the track for a long time before she comes into the pits. The question is: was that the right call?"

"Only time will tell, Martin, but now the drivers finish up their formation lap... IT'S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO! Immediately, Ava gets a good jump, she's right on Lando, Max in the back passes on Russel as we head down to the first corner AND AVA GETS TO THE APEX FIRST, SHE LEADS IN, AND SHE TAKES THE POSITION. Once again, Lando Norris will not get to the first corner from pole in pole. Oscar right behind Lando, can't get away-

"The Williams just hit the Aston Martin. Who is it? Debris is going everywhere. Pierre Gasly gets through the disaster, but that's... that's Albon and Stroll there. Stroll's car is beached on the gravel."

"Up ahead, Ava continues her lead into Turn 5 heading for end of the first sector. Behind is Lando, Oscar, Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel, Russell, Hulkenberg, Antonelli, and Leclerc to round out the top ten.

"We saw Verstappen pass Russell at the start, but looks like Vettel passed him too. He's put into sixth. Let's have a look at crash. Albon is still racing, but car is limping on the road. He's desperately trying to get to the pits. But Stroll... Yeah, he's getting out of the car. Lance Stroll is out of the race. So, first corner, first lap, and we already have our first retirement of 2025."

"Such a shame, especially with Newey entering the Aston department to help them with their new 2026 Honda engine deal. Not the start Aston Martin wanted for their first race. But at least Alonso is still in the race, he's climbed up two places into P12. And here as he are about to finish up the first lap, Ava is still the driver leading into Turns 13 and 14. The gap to Lando has extended, but not to Oscar. The Australian staring at his teammates rear wing. No DRS yet, but in due time, he just might be able to get ahead of Lando."

Lap 3:

TURN 1 - LAW overtakes SAI on the inside lane, sweeping in to take P13

TURN 8 - LEC passes ANT on the outside to take P9

Lap 6:

AVA FLORENCE SETS FASTEST LAP : LEAD +1.350

LAP 9:

TURN 7 -  PIA passes NOR on the inside to take P2

OSCAR PIASTRI SETS FASTED LAP : GAP TO P1 +3.545

LAP 10 - 12:

WHEEL-TO-WHEEL BATTLE:

"Max Verstappen closes the gap with DRS. He's right on Hamilton's gearbox. He makes the lunge into Turn 1 on the inside. But Hamilton just holds on to the position. Verstappen and Hamilton, wheel to once again. They've shown thrilling battles before, but they've also know some jaw-dropping incidents. Verstappen makes the move on the outside. Can he make it stick? They're so close into Turn 4. Verstappen has to back off. Hamilton, defending that P4 with all his might."

"Back into the opening straight and DRS with Verstappen. He makes the lunge once again. He is denied once again. Hamilton continues to defend the position. Up ahead, Florence extends her lead to four seconds. And behind, Leclerc passes Hulkenberg. But all eyes are on these two. Who's going to come out on top?"

HENRY Hamilton and Verstappen are occupied with one another. We're happy to pit now. Your choice.

FLORENCE I think I can extend this stint.

"For the third straight time, Verstappen tries it on the inside line. This time, he gets it to stick, just a sliver ahead of Hamilton. And that is all the space Verstappen needed to get ahead in P4. Behind, Sebastian Vettel has caught up with the two. From fighting one 4x time Red Bull champion to another."

LAP 14:

AVA PIT STOP : 3.1 SECONDS | P6

TURN 5 - LEC passes RUS to take P7

LAP 16:

AVA FLORENCE SETS FASTEST LAP : GAP TO P1 +12.345

TURN 9 - ALO makes a clean pass on ANT for P10

LAP 20:

TURN 3 - BOR overtakes HUL on the outside to claim P9

TURN 7 - SAI and LAW engage in a brief battle, with SAI maintaining P13

LAP 25:

AVA FLORENCE PIT STOP : 2.8 SECONDS | P4 

"Ava Florence emerges from the pits in P4, right behind George Russell. And She's immediately looking for the attack, looking for a way past the British driver. She tries to make a move on the inside of Turn 1, but Russell aggressively defends that position. Not much she could do there.

"Turn 1, and Florence fancies her chances on the inside, but Russell's having none of it. He's defending like his life depends on it! Through the next corner, it's anybody's guess who'll come out on top. They're so close you couldn't slip a piece of paper between them!"

"And now, Turn 3, Florence bravely goes for the outside line. It's a bold move, but- OH MY GOODNESS! CONTACT BETWEEN RUSSELL AND FLORENCE! SHE'S OFF THE TRACK! What drama we're seeing here, ladies and gentlemen!"

RUSSELL Nothing I could do. I had no space.

FLORENCE Someone tell this f***** that he's not Hamilton at Mercedes.

HENRY Any damage?

FLORENCE No damage. Just trying to say sane. What's Russell saying?

HENRY Russell is reporting front wing damage.

FLORENCE Karma!

"She doesn't so happy, does she, Crofty? That was quite a rip on Russell. But the Stewards will be looking into that incident and surely, that's a penalty for Russell. He was on the inside lane, Florence gave him plenty of room. No need for him to push her off the track like that."

"He will see the result of that penalty indeed, but right now Florence has lost crucial time and position. She's rejoined right behind Gabriel Bortoleto."

"I will say. Gabriel Bortoleto, the driver from out of Brazil, has done phenomenally well in his first race. I think we knew had talent, but were wondering what to make off it since he was starting in Sauber. But then Audi announced they would the join the early. And look at how its played out."

"Indeed, it's gone great for the team. Of course, the team they were directly responding to is right behind him."

LAP 28:

TURN 1 - VET makes a daring move on HAM, briefly taking P4 before HAM reclaims it in Turn 2

LAP 30:

"AND HERE WE GO! It's an absolute THRILLER between Florence and Bortoleto battling for P5! OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A FIGHT WE'RE SEEING!"

"Look at the precision, the commitment from both drivers. Both sides are respecting the space for the other drivers, but neither side is giving up any sort of room. It's strange how that works, but that's an F3 and F2 champion fighting right here. Florence is showing tremendous tactical awareness ."

"INTO TURN 3 - BORTOLETO DEFENDS! HE'S HOLDING THE RACING LINE! BUT WAIT - FLORENCE ISN'T BACKING DOWN! SWITCH TO THE INSIDE FOR TURN 4 - SHE'S DONE IT! FLORENCE MAKES THE MOVE STICK! LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY SHE GOES! WHAT A MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF RACING!"

"Brilliant overtake. That's the kind of move that separates good drivers from great drivers. Clean, calculated, and absolutely decisive. Many said that if Florence continued to race in F2, she'd give Bortoleto a run for the title. And this right here shows it."

LAP 35:

LANDO NORRIS PIT STOP : 2.7 SECONDS | P4

LEWIS HAMILTON PIT STOP : 3.6 SECONDS | P6

AVA FLORENCE MOVES UP TO P2

LAP 40:

TURN 9 - ANT and HUL battle for P10, with ANT holding on by mere tenths

LAP 48:

"Florence has been relentlessly chasing down Piastri. Look at that - she's right on his gearbox, the gap closing down faster than a pit stop. Florence goes for the inside, but Piastri - what a defensive move! He covers it off brilliantly."

"Piastri has made a big jump in his defensive ability. We saw him defend Hamilton on the start and he's doing a beautiful job here."

"She's not giving up yet. She feints to the outside... cuts back to the inside. They're side-by-side through Turn 1, neither driver willing to give an inch! This is wheel-to-wheel racing at its absolute finest!"

"Piastri has the inside line for Turn 2, but Florence is hanging in there."

LAP 49:

TURN 3 - LEC makes a bold move on NOR, taking P4

TURN 8 - BOR defends P8 from a charging ALO

LAP 50:

"Florence has been calculatingher next move for laps. When will she unleash? Oscar Piastri is waiting, ready to defend. Look at this - she gets a phenomenal exit out of the final corner, using that slipstream down the main straight DRS wide open, and she's pulling alongside Piastri - they're NECK AND NECK into Turn 1! Florence brakes later, takes the inside line, and MAKES THE PASS STICK! WHAT A MOVE!"

"Absolutely spectacular, Crofty. That's how you make a race-defining move! She knew she had slipstream, she knew exactly the kind of space Piastri was going to give her and she took advantage of it. Brilliant. Brilliant racing."

LAP 52:

TURN 3 - LEC overtakes HAM, taking P3

LAP 58:

"Ava Florence hasn't been in Formula 1 for long, but she's already made history. The first female driver on the grid since Giovanna Amati in 1992. She will become the 9th driver to stand on the podium in their first race. And the second driver since Giancarlo Baghetti in 1961 to win their first ever Formula 1 Race. AVA FLORENCE WINS THE AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX!"

HENRY Congratulations, Ava! You've freaking done it!

FLORENCE OH MY GOD!! SIGN THIS, TAT IT, STICK ON A NOTE AND PUT IT ON MY HELMET! I DON'T CARE! I JUST WON IT!!

RUDI Okay, that's P7, Seb. Good job. Welcome back to the grid.

AUSTRALIA POST-RACE INTERVIEW

Interviewer: Congratulation, Ava. Your first race in F1 and already a win in your bag.

Ava: Hello~ How are you? Thank you so much. You look fantastic.

Interview: I think you look better than me.

Ava: Oh shut up. Tell me where you got that dress from. I need to grab something before I leave the land down under.

Interview: I'll let you know after this. Tell us, what are your emotions on your win? Guide us through this race.

Ava: Yeah, I mean... To be honest, even though I was P2, I thought a win was far away. You know, we ran a bad setup on the car. I struggled in qualifying to even get into some of the sessions but you know, we got P2 in the end. And so then I had to convert that to something in the race. Norris I saw had a slow reaction on the start, so I took the opportunity to get past him into turn one and then from there 1st put stop, you know, pretty good. But then the 2nd pit stop... came out right behind Russell. I thought, you know, I could go for this overtake And, he thought to be an idiot and turned into me when I was on the outside. So I don't know what happened there. I'm not complaining with the end result, but definitely was complaining on that one. Then I had a little fight with Gabriel. I got past him. Norris went into the pits, gave me the second position that I needed. And on Piastri, I was just waiting for DRS to kick in. And I knew that was going to be my opportunity and I got it.

Interview: So, Oscar, you were very close to winning your home Grand Prix. What are you feeling here?

Oscar: Yeah, tough. I was leading for a while. Confident I could get the race win. And then Ava came behind me and it was tough to keep her away. P2 is a strong position. Helps me, helps the team. But I definitely wished I got first.

Interview: Charles, after that spin in Q3, you started 10th on the grid. You worked your way up to the podium. How was it?

Charles: It was good. The car had pace. Obviously, not as much as we wanted, but I made some good overtakes. We had a solid strategy. By the time, I passed Lewis, the McLarens were too far ahead. Overall, strong result for the team. We'll look into the data to see where we can improve because we're definitely faster than what was shown today.

HOWEVER, all that aside, the fans of F1 wanted to know one thing and one thing only. What did the drivers think of Ava Florence? She was the first point scoring woman in F1 history. The first race-winning woman in F1 history.

Oscar: She's very quick. She's a tough racer. It was very hard to defend against her. She's pretty relentless.

Lando: She's crazy good. I mean, first race, first win. You don't just do that randomly. So, she's proven herself.

Charles: I think the race showed it. She has the pace and the racecraft to compete with the best. Very strong qualifier. Strong pace. Not many flaws I would saw. For a rookie, that's incredible.

Lewis: It's amazing to see her race. Not only is she crazy fast, but she's representing women out there in motorsport. You know, when I was growing up, there wasn't any driver that I could look to and say, "He's like me." I got the opportunity to be that kind of driver for others. And I'm sure she's now going to be a huge inspiration for women all over the world. Major props to her.

Max: She's fast. I mean, that's the basis of what you need to compete. And she has it.

Sebastian: Ava is an incredible racer. Porsche has a lot of trust in her and for good reason. She's a strong driver, and a strong person too. She doesn't let the comments get to her. And her character is one of the best out there. Happy for her. Congrats on the race win. Hopefully, many more will come.

Gabriel: The same as before. Competing against her in F3 was definitely one of the most challenging moments of my life. And now we're both on the highest level of racing. Yeah, that's it. She's fast. She's tough. She's great.

Fernando: Fantastic performance. She definitely stands out and she has great race pace, great awareness, overall just fantastic for motorsport as a whole. I don't really care if she's a woman or not. She's got the speed to compete with everyone else.

George: I think, for a rookie, it's a impressive performance. But you're going to have the rookie mistakes that everyone makes. You know, a lot of them are overly ambitious.

Carlos: She's great. Very good race she had today. Happy to see representation on the grid. I hope the best for her.

Description: Prince Roman has to marry in order to take his rightful place on the throne.

Chapter: 1/5

Face Claim: Megan Thee Stallion

Warnings: Mentions death of a parent.

Word count: 1,295

This is a historical romance fanfiction. As such some characters featured have their real names and some have their kayfabe ones. Example being Jey is Joshua because that fits with the time period and tone of the story better. Jimmy is Jonathan, Drew is referred to as Andrew. Whereas Roman, Solo, Naomi and many others mentioned keep their kayfabe names because I feel they can work anyways. This is regency era. Think Bridgerton. That along with the "Bridal Discipline" series of erotic novels by one of my favorite authors Golden Angel is the inspo behind this one.

As always my stories are NOT about real people and does not reflect their character. While there is no smut in the first chapter of two, This is very much an 18+ BDSM based romance. If kink content isn't for you, please scroll. You have been warned.

My masterlist can be found here.

Roman sighs heavily as he reads the will, his fingers tracing the elegant script. The weight of his royal responsibilities feels heavier than ever.

Paul clears his throat delicately. "Your Highness, I've already prepared a list of eligible ladies from across the kingdom. The season's opening ball next week will be the perfect opportunity to meet them."

Roman's eyes narrow at the mention of the ball. He vividly remembers his father's lavish events, where political machinations and court gossip always swirled.

"Must I really parade myself like some prize horse?" he mutters under his breath. "Fine, prepare everything. But I want no interference in my choices."

Paul nods, already mentally preparing the guest list. "Of course, Your Highness. Though some noble families may try to meddle, their influence is nothing compared to the future king's decision."

Roman's father's will clearly states that he must marry within three months of his father's passing, or the crown will pass to one of his cousins whom had already taken a wife instead.

The terms are firm: 'My beloved son Roman, though I've prepared you for the throne, it is not yet your time. Your coronation cannot occur until you are wed. Choose wisely, my son - your queen must be strong, kind, and above all, loyal to the kingdom and our bloodline. - Your Father, King Sika of The Kingdom Of Leava.'

Roman clenches his jaw, understanding the weight of these words. His advisor and long time friend of the royal family Paul had told him time and time again.

Roman paces the room, his mind racing with thoughts. He knows there are plenty of beautiful noblewomen who would eagerly throw themselves at a chance to be queen, but none of them seem worthy.

Paul notices his restlessness. "Perhaps a visit to the royal gardens might help clear your mind, Your Highness? There's no rush - we have weeks to find the perfect candidate."

Roman reluctantly agrees to the suggestion, though his mood remains dark. The weight of his future seems heavier with each passing moment.

As he walks through the lush gardens, memories of his childhood play out - running through these same paths with his brother, sisters and many cousins. Matt would know what to do in this situation he thought to himself. He had been the heir. Had been.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Ana Hill arrives at the palace gates, her worn clothes and travel-worn shoes contrasting sharply with the elegant palace. She nervously clutches a small bag containing her meager belongings.

The guard looks at her papers with skepticism but eventually waves her through. The palace kitchen staff welcomes her with curiosity, though some look at her unrefined appearance with disdain.

"You must be Ms. Georgiana Hill," says the head cook, Mrs. Smith, eyeing her from head to toe. "I hope you're a quick learner. The royal banquet is in three days."

Ana nods determinedly, though her hands tremble slightly. She's been cooking for her family since she was young, but never anything so grand as a royal banquet.

"I'll do my best, Mrs. Smith," she says quietly.

The head cook gives her a stern look. "See that you do. I'm not one for repeating myself."

Another servant whispers to her as she walks by, "The Prince has been difficult since his father's passing. Watch yourself around him." Ana just nods, too focused on her task to fully absorb the warning.

Days pass as Ana throws herself into her work, learning the palace's intricate kitchen system. Her dedication and skill quickly become apparent, and she rises through the ranks.

The staff talks about the upcoming royal ball, especially the Prince's search for a bride. Some wonder if he'll even find someone suitable among the noblewomen, while others gossip about his cold demeanor.

"Poor man," one kitchen maid whispers to Ana. "Burdened with such responsibility. And now he must marry a stranger..." Ana just listens silently, focusing on kneading dough.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The moonlight streams through palace windows as Ana wanders the quiet corridors. She's never been allowed to explore this far before or seen anything beyond the servants quarters. The sound of her footsteps echoes against the marble floors. Her curiosity grows as she passes by grand rooms and magnificent paintings.

Ana gasps as she hears footsteps approaching from behind. Her heart pounds in her chest as she spins around, only to see Prince Roman standing there.

The expensive vase she accidentally bumped into wobbles precariously before crashing to the floor. Shards scatter everywhere as Ana stares at the broken pieces in horror, knowing that the replacement cost would easily cover months of her family's expenses.

"I'm so sorry, Your Highness!" she stammers, dropping to her knees to try and clean up the mess. "I didn't mean to-"

Roman's eyes sweep over Ana, taking in her disheveled appearance and fearful expression. Despite her clearly servant status, there's something different about her that intrigues him.

He moves closer, kneeling down to help her with the broken pieces. "It's alright," he says softly, his voice gentle. "Accidents happen."

Ana's hands shake as she works, careful not to cut herself on the shards. "The cost of this... I can't afford it. My family needs-" she stops herself abruptly, realizing she's speaking too freely in front of the Prince.

Roman notices her distress and helps her stand up. He's struck by her vulnerability and the determined set of her jaw, even as she tries to hide it.

"Tell me what troubles you," he says, his voice commanding yet surprisingly gentle. "And we'll discuss this vase later."

Ana hesitates, unsure if she should burden the Prince with her family's problems. But something about his presence makes her want to trust him.

"My father... he passed away recently. My mother is ill. I have to ensure she and my little sister are taken care of." Ana expresses.

Roman's expression softens with understanding. He recognizes the weight of responsibility she carries, similar to his own burden as future king.

"How old is your sister?" he asks, his voice quiet. "And what of your mother's illness - is there a doctor treating her?"

Ana looks down, her voice trembling. "My sister is just ten and six years of age. Mother has been sick since last winter - the doctor says she needs special medicine, but it's expensive."

She glances at the broken vase, then back at Roman. "I work two jobs to pay for her medicine, but even then, it's not enough. This vase... it would pay for several months' worth of her treatment.."

Roman considers her situation for a moment, then makes an unexpected proposal. "I can help with your family's expenses. But I have a condition."

Ana's eyes widen in surprise and hope. "Anything, Your Highness," she whispers. "Name it."

Roman straightens his posture, his voice taking on a more formal tone. "Ms. Georgiana, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Ana's mouth drops open in shock, her heart racing. She never imagined such a proposal from the Prince, let alone one made in the palace corridor while she's still in her servant's uniform.

"Your Highness, I... I'm just a kitchen maid," she says, trying to process the gravity of his offer. "Surely there are more suitable-"

Roman steps closer, his eyes fixed intently on hers. "You're different from the others. I see it in your strength and determination. Your family's needs are mine now too."

He gently takes her hands in his. "We could help each other - you need the money, and I need a partner who truly understands the people. Who understands...me."

If you've seen Bridgerton, you know Lady Whistledown. We have our own version of that in this story in Lady Mystique 😉

**"They call it criticism, but often it's just their envy speaking. They smile arrogantly, but their fear flickers behind their brows. For nothing frightens them more than someone who doesn't fall, but grows in the storm. You – quietly built from resistance, a throne erected from shadows. While they make noise, you become the silence that breaks down walls. And while they hurl words, you form visions with your wounds. For whoever turns darkness to light needs no crown – only truth in their breast."**👑

AstroRevelations Vol. XI – I made a throne out of my scars 🩸👑

(12 astro truths about pain, healing and the crown you carve from it)

☄️Chiron in the 1st house – You grew up feeling like your body or identity was “too much” or “not enough.” But when you stop hiding and start showing up as you are, people don’t just notice—you become their mirror and their medicine. You carry the wound in your face, but also the light in your eyes.

☄️Chiron in the 2nd house – Struggles with self-worth and money often hit deep. You might feel like no matter how hard you try, you never have enough—or are enough. But once you reclaim your value, you become magnetic. You alchemize lack into legacy.

☄️Chiron in the 3rd house – You were told your voice didn’t matter, or you were silenced early on. But it’s that exact pain that makes your words hit with truth. You speak softly, but your voice leaves echoes in the room.

☄️Chiron in the 4th house – Home wasn’t safe. Maybe it was cold, maybe it was chaotic. But you’re building something warmer now, something softer. You become the home you never had.

☄️Chiron in the 5th house – Your creativity or self-expression might feel blocked or “not good enough.” But the moment you stop seeking applause, your art starts to heal. Your light was never meant to be perfect—only real.

☄️Chiron in the 6th house – You’ve battled your body, your mind, maybe both. Chronic stress or burnout might follow you. But when you learn to rest without guilt, you start to thrive. You turn rituals into revolutions.

☄️Chiron in the 7th house – You attract intense, painful dynamics. Relationships crack you open, sometimes too much. But eventually, you learn to love without losing yourself. You become the partner you always needed.

☄️Chiron in the 8th house – You've seen darkness—yours and others'. Intimacy, loss, obsession. But you're not here to avoid pain; you're here to transform it. You walk through fire and come back with gold.

☄️Chiron in the 9th house – Beliefs were used against you, or maybe your voice was dismissed in spiritual or academic spaces. Now? You teach through your scars. You turn doubt into doctrine.

☄️Chiron in the 10th house – The world watched you fail—or made you believe you did. But the more you own your path, the more powerful your presence becomes. Your success story begins where you thought it ended.

☄️Chiron in the 11th house – You’ve always felt a bit like an outsider—too strange, too soft, too much. Friendships may have wounded you more than healed you. But once you stop begging to belong and start creating your own spaces, the right people come. You’re not here to fit in—you’re here to shift the collective

☄️Chiron in the 12th house – This is a quiet ache, often invisible. You carry pain you can’t always name, ancestral or spiritual in nature. But your healing comes in solitude, in surrender, in trust. You are the wound and the womb. The exile and the mystic.

Black women are so divine,

In every essence, their beauty shines.

Melanin rich, with grace they stand,

Queens of culture, strong and grand.

Their skin, a canvas, dark and deep,

Tells stories of ancestors who never sleep.

Curves that echo mountains high,

Strength that reaches to the sky.

Eyes that sparkle, stars in night,

A gaze that radiates pure light.

Hair, a crown, both wild and tamed,

A symbol of power, unashamed.

Their hearts, a well of love so true,

With wisdom ancient, ever new.

Black women, divine, a gift so rare,

In their presence, we feel the care.

To black women, let’s raise our voice,

In their divinity, let’s all rejoice.

For they are magic, pure and bright,

Guiding us with their radiant light.

Here's a design I did of what Gal Gadot's Evil Queen might look like, to go with my Snow White drawing. I had little to go off, just based on what people described from the D23 footage: dark makeup, dark lips, and a smaller crown, but pretty accurate to her original design. I just had fun with it!

Lear! Any mer design! I’m down for any mer Lear!

It's time.

cw: pokehybrid au, mentions of drowning and wrecked ships, mentions of people eating and soul eating, nothing actually graphic, look he's a ghost jellyfish man, abduction, cultural confusion, fluff overall

👑Jellicent Lear General HCs💎

🪙 One of the most feared creatures of the sea was Jellicent. Seeing them around a boat was always an awful sign. Fishers has endless horror stories about the buoyant pokemon and how they attacked. There was no doubt whatsoever of their carnivorous nature, but people still dared sea travel despite all the risks the pokemon posed. To end up with a ship targeted almost certainly meant to vanish into an unknown abyss into the waiting tentacles of the pokemon or the hybrids awaiting in the water. A so-called king of the sea had become most well-known. The male Jellicent hybrid floated along and seemingly took ships all on his own or commanding other hybrids under him to aid his attack. Lear, his name was. Few humans really knew it since so few survived an encounter.

🪙 You had been one of them. The fishing boat you had tagged along on was sunk. Every one of your fellow passengers vanished beneath the waves whilst you desperate grasped onto a life-preserver. Though, an eerie chill crept down your spine as glowing eyes gazed up at you from the dark waters below. A tentacle gripping onto your ankle made a horrible numbing feeling overcome the area. It only spread as you were tugged beneath the waves into the complete grasp of the supposed monarch. He was beautiful despite your terror. His lilac hair sat with a crown-like appendage jutting out. Pale skin gently faded into the blue tentacles, which made up everything beneath his torso. Rippling flesh appeared more like ruffles than terrifying flesh. It was to be your final sight. Though, it was not.

🪙 Your consciousness faded, and you awoke later somewhere completely unknown to you. Rotting wood surrounded you as algae consumed what it could. Barnacles latched onto various areas. It was dark, but a low light brightened the room. In the middle, a giant hole was apparent and was filled with water. A glance in told you it was quite deep. Glowing eyes gazed up at you from the deep. Soon, the same hybrid that you expected to take your life popped out. His stare was intense. You pondered just what this was. With nothing left, you began to chat with him. Your questions were met with answers. A sunken ship was where you were, and he was… Lear. The king of the sea. The title did not seem real to you, but you played along as to not anger the hybrid.

🪙 The passage of time was unknown to you as you remained in the sunken ship. Lear voiced little interest in returning you to land, but he was so kind as to bring you food. Some were assorted fish pokemon he hunted while others were clearly food taken from another ship which likely met a grim fate. You did not starve, and you did not dehydrate. The hybrid visited you frequently. He was fascinated by you, asking you everything he could about the land and where you came from. In exchange, you learnt of the kingdom he supposed ruled and how he was a respected ruler. You mostly chose to pretend he was messing with you. Though, you felt grateful for the company. There was a hope that if you grew close enough to him, he may change his mind and return you to the surface. But, for now, you were clearly some kind of pet to him.

🪙 Though, even that was subject to change when he crawled out of the water and levitated for a minute at your height. The eerie length of the tentacles and terror of the venom within kept you hyper aware of the danger that presented itself, but… Well, he was also strangely cute. His curiosity about you and the surface made him seem almost innocent (if one could forget that he drowned so many for life energy). His hand found your own one day as he sat at your side. He seemed to be in deep thought for a moment. It was then his gaze met yours. “You are my mate,” he said simply, “… Therefore, you may request whatever you please!” The shock of the declaration finally had everything fall into place. That is why… Ah.

🪙 It should have been scary, but you had to admit that having the interest of such a cute man was far too pleasant to reject. That, and, well, the risk of being drowned. The relationship proved no different from the one you already shared. However, there was much more affection involved. The stingers were unavoidable, but being held in his tentacles was a nice experience. He also quite often took you from the ship to float along the surface at night with him. Really, he was a dedicated romantic. You felt adored. It was truly hard not to.

🪙 Slowly, he introduces more and more people from his kingdom to you. His retainers came first. They seemed truly shocked that their king had taken a human as his mate but were kind. Sawyer, who you could tell acted as a parental figure toward the Jellicent hybrid, thanked you for being so nice and gentle with Lear despite having been essentially abducted. He apologised on his behalf and explained that there were certain instincts for them that were hard to overcome. You understood. It was not as if Lear had ever done anything to hurt you in the end. There was simply a cultural divide at play… Though, you did ask Sawyer to help convince him to let you go back to the surface. (You finally were allowed to. With the promise to return by the evening. You did. A huffy jellyfish man was waiting on you.)

🪙 In the end, you have quite a happy relationship with the Jellicent hybrid. While there are many struggles to overcome, he is admittedly more willing to work with you than he would admit. Your happiness matters most to him, but he struggles to let you go. So, you may have to live in an abandoned, wrecked ship, but you have a fish man willing to do anything and everything for you. Who is, shockingly, an actual king. Though, what truly catches you off-guard is him mumbling about turning you into the Jellicent. You opt against thinking too much into it.
