so i keep meaning to send u lyric prompts and im actually motivated for once in my life so here u go: and he's passing by/rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky/and he feels like homeIf the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

omg thank you for this one!! writing this has been so much fun! it’s still kind of heartbreaking, but in the best way possible.

anyway, before anyone reads, i need to tell you all that, a while ago, kylie and i found this edit of taylor and the color silver and harry and the color gold. another important piece of information is that kylie has created an amazing fantasy world where people have silver blood (children of the moon) or gold blood (children of the sun) and the middle god who’s supposed to keep the balance is called Femke. the silvers are lil fuckers who pray on golds because their blood is really useful or whatever.

SO this story takes place in that world and it’s a haylor fic too cause i promised kylie i’d do it :)

@networkthirteen | lyric typography event

There's no clouds in the sky when I look out the window. Strange, considering how much it's been raining lately. Not that it matters, I've been out of the house by dawn everyday. One must make some sort of routine, make up things to do during the day in order to not go insane. I need to stay sane for my boy. I've been by myself for 13 Moon cycles. Another full Sun rotation without seeing my son. His third birthday is today. People wonder why I keep track of time with the Moon cycles and the Sun's rotations, and I always fail to give them an answer. It's too dangerous, still. So I get up, tie my hair into two buns and a sweater. Despite the cloudless sky, it's bound to be cold outside still. A quick prayer to Femke in his honour and I head to town. I need to buy food for tonight and get the crest from the smithy. The weapon quality hasn't been the same since the war, but the new kid who took over the Prince has delicate fingers that should work well with the typography details of our family's crest. I clench my jaw and I feel a tear threatening to fall. I don't let it. There's people around me, I don't need to raise any suspicions. Instead, I tighten up my fists, nails piercing through my skin. A path of silver blood stains behind me is still better than shedding tears in public. I don't need people worrying for me, wondering about what's wrong. If they find out, I'll be labelled a traitor and punished as such. Surprisingly enough, I manage to smile my way though the market. No one gives me a second glance or seems to read through me. The little boy from the smithy, the one who replaced him, presents my refurbished sword horizontally with both hands extended, eyes on the ground. Am I some sort of royal to him? Is he afraid of me because if the blood on my hands? "Thank you," I say in the sweetest way I can, although it sounds more awkward than intended. I was thinking something else will come to mind. Something to break the ice or, I don't know, make him more comfortable with my presence at his shop. But the thought never comes, so I simply leave the money on the counter and walk away as fast as I can. I hate when people belittle themselves because of blood. Of course, it's not his fault. Ever since the war ended, the barrier between us with silver blood and those with golden blood has kept on growing endlessly. My walk back home feels longer than normal, probably because I'm not used to the weight of a crest, even if it's made of iron and bronze, specifically. I will not be consuming the blood of those less privileged. I hate that my people are the ones doing that, consuming it, accepting it. Of course, they can choose to not be bothered by such a barbaric practice. Taking someone's blood for medicine and weaponry is simply horrifying, but for those who don't associate with gold bloods it's easy to de-humanize them. Maybe I'd been better off if I had never met him. If I hadn't met the love of my life, the father to my son. Only the Gods know, but there might be another reality where I didn't meet him and I didn't get disinherited by my family. Maybe, in that reality, my son was born to another gold blood mother. His life would've been taught, yes, but at least he and his father wouldn't have to live in exile. This time, when the tears threaten to fall, I let them. My house is far from town, in the middle of the forest. It has to be, simply for this one day a year. The one day where I get to see my son and his father. I wished we could do it more frequently, but even this is too risky. The royals would behead us both if they found out, and take our son to bleed him for the rest of his life. Instead, they have to live in exile. Hopping the witches take pity on them until a second war frees the gold bloods. Up until then, this one day is all I have. Their visits feel like the glimmer of a comet, something that almost never happens. People go their entire lives without feeling what I feel when I get to see them. And even though it's once a year, this is the life I choose until there's a better option where we can be together. There's smoke coming out of the chimney when I get home. They're here, they got here earlier. Trying to dry my tears with my arm, I ran towards the door. A few vegetables fall from my bags but I couldn't care less. They're here. "Harry!" I scream from outside as I knock on the door. I hear a toddler's voice from inside, and I know everything's alright. Harry's last letter said he hasn't learned many words yet, but he's a cheerful boy just like his father and mother. "Baby, is that you?" He asks. I don't have to answer, as he opens the door with our son on his arm and crushes me in a kiss. We're both crying, we're both holding onto each other like out lives depend on it. Because they do. And suddenly my alternative reality, the one where I thought we all had a better life, shatters. It'd be a life where I didn't get this. This fire inside of me, a whirlwind of love that cannot be stopped. It's pure joy. It's knowing that this is my place in the world, tangled in the embrace of Harry Styles and sloppy kisses on my cheek from our son. "Welcome home, Taylor." Harry says.

Treasure (Nyo!Netherlands/Nyo!Denmark)

Day 5 - fairytales/mythological.

I took some liberties with this :) I don’t know a lot about mythologicals but at the same time I wanted to write something a little bit unexpected.

Summary: AU. Annelisse couldn't wait to see the treasure that she had found wondering the forest.

Nyo!Denmark: Annelisse. Nyo!Netherlands: Femke.

You can read it here in ao3!

She had a big secret, a secret that if anyone found out, it could endanger the lives of those beings. So she had to be really careful to not to be followed by anyone.

She made sure to tell everyone she knew she was going on a trip which was partially true.

She took only the things that she could need the most: Some clothes to change, water, food and a basket full of apples.

She took a glance at her surroundings before entering the forest. She was so nervous to see her again.

She knew the risks that she was taking. She could be lost forever in that forest and nobody would realize about it. After all, she lied about her whereabouts.

But she had a small flute with her. She kept it near her chest to call her. That was the only way that she could find her anyways.

When she felt safe, she put her things near a tree and then she used the flute. A sweet melody flew on the air with all her hopes. After that, she sat down and started to have a lot of questions. What if she didn’t appear? What if she did it all wrong? That creature was the only way that she had to get out of there, since she forgot to put marks during her walk.

“Come on. Where are you?” Annelisse asked impatient. She drank her water and then she sighed. Maybe their last encounter was all a dream.

“Do you know how hard is to run with all the vegetation here?” An annoyed voiced questioned and Annelisse turned around so fast that she almost broke her neck.

There she was standing. A scar was near her left eye and her blonde hair covered her breasts. Her green eyes were looked directly towards Annelisse.

Anyone would thought she was just a beautiful and naked woman wondering through the forest. But no. She looked human until her belly bottom. After that, she had the body of a deer. Her fur had a brownish color with a couple of white spots.

“I…” Annelisse was so impressed that she couldn’t even talk. She approach the creature and grabbed her hand “You are real”

Femke rolled her eyes.

“No, I’m not. I’m just an illusion” Femke replied.

“Well, then. If you are an illusion, then you won’t care if I ate all the apples that I brought” Annelisse walked and opened her basket to show the faun what she brought.

Femke licked her lips. She was really hungry and those apples looked so delicious.

“Of course, I’m real, dork” She looked around before stepping from the forest.

Annelisse thought she was staring at a goddess with short-temper. Unconsciously, she took a couple of steps away.

“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise you” Femke was trying so hard to dissimulate her real feelings.

Since they first met, she was fascinated with Annelisse. Maybe because she was the first human she came across that didn’t try to kill her. Maybe because she completely fell in love with her at first sight. Maybe because she looked like someone that she wanted to protect at all cost, like a treasure that she found.

“Yeah, I know” Annelisse giggled. She couldn’t stop staring at Femke.

“Then stop moving away from me” Femke requested.

Annelisse approached Femke again and this time, she dared to touch her face. Her skin was smooth as silk.

“You are so gorgeous” Annelisse took a deep breath.

Femke blushed. A lot of male fauns thought that she was too intimidating to approach, so those words meant a lot to her.

“Thanks…” She wasn’t sure what to do with herself other than avoiding eye contact with Annelisse.

The young woman just laughed. She thought it was a shame that she couldn’t tell anyone about that precious treasure that was just in front of her. But maybe it was for the best.

“How long are you going to stay this time?” Femke asked.

“Just a couple of days or so. No one knows that I’m here” Annelisse explained. She wished she could stay any longer but she had work to do and she couldn’t hide from civilization even though she wanted.

Femke was upset.

“I wish I could go with you” She admitted with sadness.

But Annelisse tried to be positive.

“Hey! Don’t be sad. We are going to have a great time still. We should enjoy it as much as we could” She suggested.

Femke nodded. She knew that her time with Annelisse had an expiration date anyways, so she thought that they had to get the most of their relationship.

After eating, Femke made a suggestion.

“There’s a place that I want to take you in” She had her doubts but she thought that Annelisse was trustworthy enough.

“Really?” Annelisse was surprised.

“Come one. I’ll take you there” She kneeled so Annelisse could ride her “Just don’t hung up too strong” She requested.

Annelisse sat down on her back and smiled. She really felt like she was on a dream.

Femke ran and ran. Annelisse was afraid but the faun reassured her that nothing would happen to her.

Finally they reached a bank. The water was pure and it looked like nobody had touched the place in forever.

Annelisse got down and stared at the sky. It was already night and she was impressed with the clarity.

“It’s really hard to any human to get in here. It’s my small place, home if you want it to call it” Femke explained.

“Oh” Annelisse went straight to hug her. It was hard because of the height difference but she didn’t care. She wanted to hold Femke and never let her go.

“I wish I could take you to my house” Annelisse explained.

“Maybe someday” Femke shrugged even though she felt the same way.

Annelisse laid her head on Femke’s chest. It was so warm.

“You are my fairytale” Annelisse suddenly said.

“Why?” Femke played with Annelisse’s hair while staring at her. She wondered if all humans were like that but she had a feeling that Annelisse was special.

“Because even though nobody thinks you are real, you make me happy. I don’t know, I’m just glad that I have meet you” She stated with a big smile.

Femke nodded and then gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“Do you want to watch the stars until we fall asleep?” She suggested.

Annelisse thought it was a great idea and sat down. Then she rested her head on Annelisse’s back.

“It’s so fluffy” She laughed.

“Shut up” Femke moved until she was comfortable enough in the ground.

“Can this moment last forever?” Annelisse lifted her arm and tried to reach for the stars.

“It will last forever in my mind” Femke promised her.
