age gap, bad english, male mc; elio leander

That's the second thing wrong; he's not supposed to like him. To like Kane. He's supposed to be back in college at Penderghast with Atlas and Shreya and Griffin and Beckett. He's supposed to be thinking of Beckett, surround himself with Beckett, submerge himself in Beckett and whatever relationship they could have.

He should be thinking of Beckett and his pretty smile and the way he so easily blushes when he's complimented. Should be daydreaming of him, holding hands and going on dates and doing all that gooey, soft, gentle loving that involves being romantically interested in someone like Beckett Harrington.

But he's not. He's here on this cliff with Kane because Elio wants him. There is no other way to explain this tugging on his chest that appears at night when he remembers the soft touch on his wrist, the sweet smell of tea. No words can describe the yearning he feels after spending an entire night wrapped up in dreams and then waking up and realizing nothing about them was true.

He forces himself to look away, to the river and the dim light of a sunset that's taking way too long to disappear.

Probably says a lot about me that I got way too invested into Kane and MC's relationship. PB is evil for giving us the option of flirting with him and having that going nowhere because now I'm obsessed. Enjoy <3

Tuneless Wonders

[Beckett Harrington x Emma Carlyle Masterlist] 

Pairing: Beckett Harrington x Emma Carlyle (F!MC) Book: The Elementalists Word Count: >600 Rating/Warnings: general, no warnings, all the fluff Prompts: @choicesjanuary2024 aurora (borealis); @choicesficwriterscreations

Synopsis: Emma shows Beckett that the tuneless world has magic of its own.

It has been FAR too long since I've commissioned art of these two. So I am very excited to have been able to commission this piece by the ever talented ArtByAinna (IG) to kick off our TE @choicesbookclub

The vibrant hues of the aurora borealis painted the sky in a mesmerizing dance of celestial colors. Beckett and Emma found themselves at a secluded spot, away from the prying eyes of their friends. The ethereal lights shimmered overhead, casting a magical glow upon the landscape.

“Didn’t I tell you?” Emma teased, lacing her fingers with his as she rested her head on his shoulder. “The tuneless world has its own magic.”

Beckett couldn’t help but be captivated by the enchanting display painting the sky. “Wow,” the only word he could manage slipped quietly from his lips, his gaze fixed on the celestial wonder above.

Emma’s eyes sparkled with a blend of awe and admiration. “Nature's magic is unparalleled. Earth has her own set of spells that she blesses us with."

A surge of appreciation for a magic he had never considered before washed over him. Beckett had read of this natural event in books, of course, but he never imagined them quite like this. In his readings, it was simple. It was science, just a bit of chemistry—an interaction of particles, solar wind, and the Earth’s magnetic field—nothing special. Yet, the reality of what he thought nothing of, now, left him breathless.

Emma’s words continued to resonate with him as he stood entranced. He couldn’t deny the magnificent enchantment surrounding them. He slowly breathed in the cold air, letting it fill his lungs, the moment overwhelming him in the best way. As he exhaled, Beckett attempted to let go of the complexities of magical academia he had spent his life mastering, allowing room for this new appreciation for the tuneless wonders he never would have understood without her.

“It’s breathtaking,” he whispered, his words of reverence drifting from his lips in wisps of warmth against the cold air.

Emma’s gaze met his cool, grey eyes, which shimmered with the colors of the heavens. “Perhaps nature’s magic is the truest form. No spells, no textbooks—just the raw, untamed beauty of the world. Maybe that’s where it all started. Maybe this and other examples of Earth’s magic is the origin of all other magick we know.”

“Thank you.” His fingers brushed tenderly across her cheek as he cradled her face.

“For what?” She smiled softly.

“For sharing this with me—” he began, his gaze drifting once more to the beautiful dance above them. "—for convincing me that there are wonders and magic I still don't understand—" His words were quieter now, “—and... for being smarter than me.”

“What was that?” Emma’s brow quirked with mischief. "I couldn’t quite hear you—"

“You heard me well enough.”

She considered it for a moment. “I think I heard you say I was smarter than you—the one and only, Beckett Harrington. Are you sure you’re feeling alright?” She rested the back of her hand against his forehead.

He shook his head. “You’re enjoying this too much.”

“Well, if you want me to stop, you know what you have to do.” She grabbed the lapel of his navy peacoat, pulling him closer, their noses brushing together.

His freckled cheeks flushed at her gesture. “You’re impossible.” Beckett’s words were lost as he closed the gap between them. As their lips met, the warmth of her kiss seeped deep into him, a radiant glow that warmed him inside and out, like the gentle embrace of the soothing sun on a cold winters day.

The celestial lights above bore witness to their kiss, a moment of pure magic that rivaled the magic of this world and the magick of their studies.

I haven't written Beckett in... I honestly don't know how long 2, maybe 3??? years!?! I hope that our Book Club replay of TE will inspire some more Beckett and Emma stories. So far, I really only ever wrote them in my Detention Series.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

The second of the makeovers! It's the TE MC of @lover-also-fighter-also as a mermaid... It's mermay, so I had to turn at least one character into a mermaid! I tried to put a sun on her necklace since I saw the headcanon about how Anitha strung her mother's pendant onto a necklace, and I thought that was neat, so I tried to make one! I leaned into a sunny colour scheme, as well. I hope you like it!

Lance Hartley - The Elementalists

Meet my new son, Lance Hartley! As previously referenced, this isn't an MC, this is an OC in my Apollo-verse canon, and he is actually Atlas's love interest, and they meet in my post-te2 plotline. He's a blood att pretending to be a water att due to blood magick being outlawed and the plot of my te 3. He's a healer and he is in Penderghast on a medical scholarship

Okay, so I'm not sure how many people in the Hogwarts Legacy fandom also indulge in an app called Choices (most specifically The Elementalists) but to those of you who are familiar, am I the only person who noticed huge similarities between Beckett Harrington and Ominis Gaunt?

They even LOOK the damn same istg

Tell me this isn't some shit Ominis would say 💀

[dutifullynuttywitch]

First kiss 🥰 The guy is a musician, prolific athlete, and he wants to do disaster relief work... also... an absolute sweetheart 🥺😍❤️

[kainebell]

If I had a nickel for every time PB put out a story featuring a "chosen one" type witch that has

1) a lovable yet emotionally constipated younger sister who has colorful hair and a complicated relationship with mirrors

and

2) the option to flirt with a villainous immortal named Ka(i)ne,

I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

MEET MY MC

ANITHA RUSSELL

Birthday: December 26, 1999 (according to my HC)

Nicknames: Ani (by her foster parents and friends), sunshine (Griffin), weirdo (Atlas).

Pronouns: She/Her (cis woman)

Sexuality: Bisexual (with a higher preference to guys), she realized that she liked girls right about her sophomore year in high school when she crushed on her soccer captain. She is out to her parents and they are fully supportive of her.

Personality: Sweet, Loyal, tenacious, extroverted (though she likes her me-time), quick-witted and uncompromising of what she believes in. She trusts people easily and does not take it well when the trust is broken. She is extremely protective of her friends and Atlas, after the events of TE 1.

Parents: Her foster father is a half-Indian, half-French while her foster mother is an Indian, who migrated to America. Both are attunded, but they hide that identity from Anitha and decide to raise her attuneless to protect her from Raife. They both take on the role as school teachers in the tuneless world. Her biological mother is Theia, who is the literal source of sun magick.

Siblings: Was an only child before she met her twin sister Atlas at Penderghast.

Childhood home: She grew up in Princeton, New Jersey till high school, before moving to Hartfeld for college.

Religion: She was raised as with all the Hindu practices and traditions. Her mother would persuade her to take part in rituals, which she initially disliked as a kid, but eventually realized that it carries a magic of its own, and keeps her calm and energized.

Hobbies: She sings AMAZING (though can't play an instrument to save her life), used to be part of her school soccer team till she lost the winning goal in her junior year of high school. At Penderghast she regains the confidence after playing Thief. Additionally, she loves motorbike rides which her father gives.

Love life: Anitha had crushes and casual relationships throughout school, but Griffin was her first and serious love. They get married 2 years after Anitha's graduation and have a small house by a forest. I HC that they have twins later on; a girl and a boy.

Other facts:

She is a nature and wildlife enthusiast and I HC that she will take up geology after graduating from Penderghast.

She likes the simpler things in life; big and rich is generally not her style (dw she loves Shreya)

Her favorite cartoon was Power rangers and always argued that the yellow ranger was the best.

She once tried to ride her dad's motorbike when she was 10 on her own, and it ended with her breaking her leg.

After getting her mom's pendant from Kane, she fashions it into a chain, which she always wears around her neck.

 Detention VII.V: A Brush of Magic

[Beckett Harrington x Emma Carlyle Masterlist] 

Pairing: Beckett Harrington x Emma Carlyle (F!MC) Book: The Elementalists (early in book one) Word Count: ~ 700 Rating/Warnings: general, no warnings (grumpy/sunshine) A/N: This is part of my Detention series at the beginning of TE1 and my Stolen Moments: brushing hair back series.

Synopsis: Emma tracks down a particularly mischievous book, while Beckett gets caught in their path.

Emma's brow knitted together in determination, her gaze narrowing on a particular mischievous edition of The Enchanted Pixie Scrolls. She tiptoed through the stacks, trying to hide in the shadows. No matter how quiet or how stealthy she was, the book swooped and twirled in the air, taunting her at every turn. If she hadn't known better, she would have thought there were actual pixies inside, laughing at her dismay. The thought lingered a moment as she considered it...it couldn't be, could it?

She shook her head, turning her attention back to her quest. It didn't really matter. The end result was the same; she needed to reshelve that book before she could leave detention for the day. Her gaze swept over the space. "Now, where did you go?"

Airy giggles floated behind her, the corner of the hard cover poking her in the back. She spun quickly, lunging toward the book. Her fingers brushed against the book's cool leather spine, but it fluttered away. "Get back here!"

She dodged left and right, avoiding other books and students, tracking the elusive book through the library. A playful smirk pulled at her lips. She shouldn't. It probably wouldn't even work... but what if it did?

Too late to turn back now.

With careful consideration, she leaped forward, a quick spell slipping from her lips as the floating books in the aisle came together, creating something resembling floating stairs. She tried not to waste time thinking about Beckett's horror if he saw her stepping on books. He was already wound so tight it might push him too far.

Each book shifted under her weight, her stride wobling under the uneven stairs; however, she was too far committed to give up now.

She lept up one more level, then jumped forward, extending her arm just as the book attempted to flit away again. "Oh, no, you don't!" This time her efforts were rewarded, and her hand clasped around the hard front cover of the book. Emma's added weight caused the book to drop...fast. Emma struggled to hold onto the book as it fought to be free. She quickly mumbled a spell, the air swirling around them, slowing but not stopping their descent.

"Watch it!" Beckett growled, trying to step to the side, but it was too late.

Emma and the book landed with a thud right on top of one Becket Harrington, his now trademark grumpy scowl growing.

"I got the book!" Emma declared proudly, lying across his ches. Her bright eyes filled with her accomplihsment as her gaze met his, not noticing how close they were.

"Good for you."

"Oh, don't pretend you're not at least a little bit impressed."

"You seem to be congratulating yourself sufficiently already."

Emma rolled her eyes as she eased herself off of him. "You don't need to say it. Your cute flushing freckled cheeks tell me all I need to know."

Despite his protest, the color only grew deeper at her words.

Emma ran her hand over his broad shoulders and chest, smoothing his blazer as he stood beside her. "There, all better. Not a hair out of—" Her words paused as she noticed a stray strand of his brown hair hanging over his forehead. Her fingers gathered the offending lock, brushing it back over his head. His hair was softer than she expected. Her fingers lingered, raking gingerly through his silky hair.

His eyes closed as he leaned into her touch. The frown on his face softened, giving way to something she might even consider a smile. The pair drifted closer, their faces only a breath away.

"Emma," her name slipped from his lips as his eyes met hers. He leaned forward, closing the gap until something smacked against their chests.

The book, still clutched in Emma's free hand, flapped between them, breaking the moment.

Beckett cleared his throat. "We should get that back where it belongs before—"

Emma cut him off before he could continue his thought. "—before you break your no-kissing rule and have to admit you like me." Her brow rose playfully.

She expected him to protest, his ears reddening, betraying his words, but he didn't. He paused before her. His cool grey eyes filled with rare openness. With careful precision, his long fingers gathered a loose curl of her hair, tucking it behind her ear. "Just returning the favor."

Without another word, he turned. "This way," he directed, leading them to where the book belonged.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this little bit of silliness! 💖
