Apologies again for the paucity of posting...Work's been crazy at the hospital as of late (feels like 2021 all over again with the amount of COVID, plus a whole lot of Flu and RSV) and getting a small procedure tomorrow (the joys of a clear liquid diet).

That all being said, working on posts for the upcoming week (including a SUDA post for tomorrow) and looking for any requests people may have, to send to the Inbox.

Hope you're all doing well and have a great rest of your day.

trigger warnings : relationship doubts, reader is very insecure, that's really it

❧ in which asra alnazar finds out his lover is doubting themselves. ✦ a/n : hehe i loveeeee the arcana ☼ proceed with caution ! if you are uncomfortable with aforementioned topics, please just scroll.

♪ now playing... LOOK DON'T TOUCH by odetari!

you're not sure when or why these thoughts started

maybe a little while back

yet you're sure they weren't because of asra at all

they made them fade in an instant with a mere smile

you loved your partner.

you really did.

you knew they loved you too.

maybe that just made it worse.

that somebody like asra loved somebody like you

you weren't special, you were just.. you.

sure, you had a little bit of magic, but others had it too.

you could barely even use yours! you were practically the definition of weak!

how could they love you?

⊳ ⋆

asra, of course, notices your sudden distance from them.

the way you shy away from his presence and touch.

the way you are far more hesitant to accept his gifts.

the way you shift when he compliments you.

they're awfully observant of... everything

maybe you're just tired?

is something wrong?

catches on really quickly of how you're unsure if you really contribute anything to this relationship

soon their compliments morph into reassurances

they know exactly what to say, oddly enough

but they also know when to back off

after all, sometimes people just need to in silence but with someone, or sometimes people just need to completely alone.

they don't have a problem with that at all!

not unless something dangerous happens and they need to be around you

but it's awfully unlikely

"you're so amazing to me, darling." "you look awfully stunning today, [n/n]!" "i missed you." "you mean a lot to me, y'know hun?" "thanks for just being here, [y/n]." "stay in bed with me for just a bit longer?"

"i love you."

I may be outing myself a lot with this.

Ive realized through this I don't have a lot of favorite characters from fandoms I've been in. It was fun to draw though!!
