🪷Pastimes of The Princess | Nadia Satrinava

Nadia Satrinava × GN!Reader

an au of sorts (set in prakra , nadia is still a princess)

the devs gave us Indian princess nadia crumbs and i decided to bake the whole bread.

Hcs included : nadia can play sitar , nadia is somewhat playful (still being a princess) , nadia knows kathak .

I've been obsessed with this music so I had to write something

sort of headcanon +imagine + choose your own adventure style post , idrk I just had to dump this scenario on my blog

Would recommend listening to the linked music (or the whole playlist eheh) cuz thats what I was listening to when the idea came to me.

ended up branching the imagine creating a multiverse of sorts lol. I just had a lot of thoughs.

added a lot of music in here .... didn't intend to but what can I even do (ehehe this sparked my inspiration like crazy)

my notes can be found at the end of this post.

Imagine you are wandering a little too close to the palace grounds. Maybe you were summoned by the royal court and lost your way , or maybe it was one of your own little adventures that brought you here , whatever the reason for you to be here was, doesn't matter anymore as the hypnotic rhythm of the musical instruments grab your attention. You follow the sound in hopes of finding the source of such sweet melody.

You make way through low hanging branches and high standing bushes and end up in a secluded gazebo of the palace. There you see the court musicians and the Princess. She is ...

> playing the sitar while the musicians play the tabla.

> dancing along to the rhythm of sitar and tabla being played by the musicians.

> playing the sitar while the musicians play the tabla.

There she sits in the middle of the gazebo in all her regal form. The tabla musicians are sitting in a semi circle arrangement around her. She is dressed in a royal attire , in silks and satins , in garments so delicate that a passerby could almost mistake the wearer for a celestial being.

She is plucking the strings of the sitar in a practised motion. The tabla players are matching her rhythm. Birds and squirrels are gathered all around the gazebo , some finding a comfortable spot on the roof , others sitting on the platform and steps leading to the platform.

You are just out of sight of the princess but you can clearly see her. You decide to...

> stand by and enjoy.

> show yourself to the princess and dance along to her music.

.

.

.

.

> stand by and enjoy.

You decide to stay in your spot and enjoy the music. Its not everyday one gets to hear the Princess of Prakra play. She is completely in her element.

As the melody picks up speed , you see the spot between her eyebrows deepen. She is concentrating. You are completely entranced in the beauty of the situation.

A beautiful princess in front of you in a perfectly maintained gazebo and foliage, playing what feels like an otherworldly tune. You can't even look away from her. So much so that you don't even notice the palace guards slowly inching closer to you. They must be on their rounds. Soon you are surrounded by the guards.

As the Princess completes her piece and finally lifts her gaze to look around her , she notices the group of guards. She quickly asks for an explanation.

The guards create enough space to show you among them. She raises an eyebrow. Gesturing towards you , she asks the reason for you to be here.

"Forgive me Princess for I lost my way and followed the music I heard." You say in your defense. "As I came across this clearing where you were playing such a sweet melody , I completely forgot where I was standing."

The Princess looks at you with a smile. "I am satisfied with your explanation. Guards leave them alone." She orders and the guards immediately follow suit. She watches them leave.

Once again the Princess turns her focus towards you. "So you liked what I played?" She says. "Here come sit closer," she continues while motioning towards a cushion lying close to her ,"I don't mind an appreciative audience."

~~~

> show yourself to the princess and dance along to her music.

You couldn't resist the music. It feels like your feet have a brain of their own as they start moving along to the rhythm . The Princess is surprised to see a sudden figure appear in front of her but a smile soon forms on her lips once she realises that you are enjoying and dancing to her music.

Now the way she plays the instrument almost feels like as if she is guiding your movements. Her motions are calculated but somehow it all cumulates to form a beautiful tune.

You dance and dance and dance , she adjusts the rhythm to your movements , slowing when she feels like it would create a beautiful sequence and picking up her speed when she wants to see you move faster.

The little animals gathered around the gazebo too have their eyes fixed on you.

As the piece comes to an end , you take a moment to catch your breath while Nadia claps her hand. The little squirrels run towards you and disappear among the bushes.

Nadia then rises from her spot and walks towards you , a big smile plastered on her face.

"That was beautiful." She says looking into your eyes "You dance gracefully. I must ask you to join me for some tea and perhaps you could teach me some of your moves."

--★--

> dancing along to the rhythm of sitar and tabla being played by the musicians.

The Prakran Princess is dancing. The court musicians surround her and she is moving her feet to the music.

Her attire is perfect for her movements as it flows well when she spins and twirls. The bells on her anklets contribute to the whole melody as she thumps her feet on the ground.

The little birds are chirping while circling around her head and the squirrels shake their empty peanut shells in order to add their own contribution.

For a moment you feel that you must have ascended to heaven. The whole situation is straight out of the fairytales you were told as a kid. Maybe princesses do live a mystical life after all.

Nadia's expression catches your attention next. Her eye movements and her facial expression to the beat tell a story. A story you are very eager to learn. So you...

> watch her dance

> dance along with her

.

.

.

.

.

> watch her dance

You watch her movements carefully. She moves her hands in a way that feels like she is acting out a scene. You try to decipher the story that she wants her viewers to understand. You feel completely captivated watching her dance.

Sometime during her performance, she sees you. She stops and looks at you.

Having been caught staring , you frantically try to explain yourself. "Princess , forgive me for I lost my way and followed the music".

Nadia asks a few more questions which you answer diligently. Satisfied with your answers she continues "So you were watching me dance?"

Feeling embarrassed you quickly try to apologise. She giggles.

The day ends with the princess gaining a new friend [and possibly more in the future ;) ] .

~~~

> dance along with her

Your feet moved on their own. You start to copy her movements , moving quickly and then slowing down as she does. You try to match her movements as best as you could in hopes of being able to memorize them forever.

It feels like you are in a world of your own where only you and Nadia exists and you both move in tandom.

You don't even realize when the music stops. You just see the Princess walking up to you an impressed smile on her face.

"I saw you dancing along with the music all alone there , you could have just asked to join in," She says. "I must say , your moves were quite impressive" Nadia continues.

Then motioning towards the gazebo , she offers "Maybe you can join me for the next round. Ah! And while we're at it maybe you can teach me some moves of your own."

My notes:

I am in love with the way i wrote this 😍 the formatting and all. Might try similar styles again in the future.

(ADDED THE LAST PIECE LAST MOMENT BECAUSE THIS WAS SO PERFECT, RAVI SHANKAR THE GENIUS THAT YOU ARE RAAAAAH)

can you guys tell that I had a specific part more planned out then the others .... haha you can't right (shame.... shammmeeee)

If you read this far then do leave a comment. It makes my day. (Otherwise I'll cry (⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠˙̫̮⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠) /j)

This is probably horribly written and maybe mischaracterizes nadia for which i welcome criticism!

"phew .... finally done with an imagine , I feel like writing more today. Lets see what more we got-" *camera pans towards my comically large pile of incomplete fic drafts*

If you did listen to the linked music.... I LOVE YOU !! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! we shall have a spring wedding 😌 (/hj)

I added the songs I linked in this imagine in a playlist and named it after the post title here:

Hella and nadia kisses in bed and cuddles?

Halla and Nadia will never leave my brain and my heart here ya go

[taduki]

Fun-Sized HCs: M6 walking in on MC hugging a pillow in their sleep

Asra: “IT SHOULD’VE BEEN MEEEEEE”, sobbing at the doorway before promptly spooning you. Honestly, Azz probably does the same thing too. It just hits different seeing you do it now that they know you might be imagining it’s him. 💕

Julian: Flustered for a moment before clasping his hands and watching you. Debates whether to leave you to rest and pester you about it later or join you. Do this when he’s very deprived of sleep and he might just give in!

Portia: Zero hesitation to remove the pillow and replace it with herself. Does so very carefully, as excited as she is. She’s so warm, you might not notice even if you’re a light sleeper. Teases you about it later.

Nadia: She’s used to being out and about, so she opens the door to her chambers secretly hoping to see you like this every time. It warms her little romantic heart! Starts spritzing a bit of her perfume on the pillowcases when you aren’t looking.

Muriel: As if you weren’t already beaming with cuteness… Fighting the urge to nap next to you in fear that he might wake you. He catches himself staring and goes to occupy himself until you’re awake. Is way more inclined to give you hugs now. 🥰

Lucio: Covers his mouth and hunches over the mantle, trying not to squeal. Gently gives you a kiss on the cheek either holds you or removes the pillow and snuggles into your arms. He claims he can’t do magic, but the pillow has disappeared after that…

[0nlyh4z3l]

Yall cant tell me they ain’t hitting the same pose 😭

Main 6 - Cuddle Headcanons

PAIRING(S): Asra Alnazar x Gn!Reader, Julian Devorak x Gn!Reader, Nadia Satrinava x Gn!Reader, Muriel x Gn!Reader, Portia x Gn!Reader, Lucio x Gn!Reader

.

Cuddling positions are practically never ending with Asra. They love to just be close to you and doesn’t have much of a preference.

However, there are some cuddle positions that are preferred after a long day of existing.

One of them is him laying on your chest. Usually this is your way of helping them unwind, especially when you massage his scalp and play with his hair.

Other than that, just hearing your heartbeat and feeling the rise and fall of your chest comforts them, even after all that’s happened.

Then there’s the time when he just wants to show you that he loves you.

This usually prompts them to start kissing you all over your face and you end up falling into his arms, all bundled up by the warm blankets.

Honestly overall, they just love to cuddle in bed with you and whatever position you two end up laying in

Even if it isn’t always the same position you wake up in

Also bonus points if you end up letting Faust cuddle up with you two, she does get cold sometimes yknow

Which she most likely always does end up doing

In Nadia’s route, it’s noted that there is only once bed in the shop so it’s likely Asra and you share it even when you’re not cuddling

So most times he’d fall asleep from exhaustion near you, with faust slithering on him

Probably hugs you around your waist too

And if you try to strike a “sexy” pose he’ll laugh and play along

The worst

Ofc he’s not actually the worst Lucio still exists but the way he cuddles at times is a hit or miss

Especially since most times he ends up sprawling his limbs out wherever they can, usually ending up on top of you unless you spoon him.

When it’s actually enjoyable to cuddle with him, most times he enjoys being spooned or mutual holding.

We all know how self deprecating he is so might as well show him how well he can be loved, even if you’re shorter or smaller, that’s no excuse

Just don’t mind his long limbs

Regardless of how you choose to hold him, he’ll always hold onto you back. Now on the other end of the spectrum where it’s damn near torture-

He has no regard for you- in his sleep at least

Like bro is genuinely squishing you with his limbs, and you can’t even move them because you’re trapped 💔

He probably unknowingly hogs the blanket too since he’s slipped off the bed more times than he’d like to admit and has taken the blanket with him.

He has all his weight on it, making damn near impossible to get the blanket from under him, leaving you shivering and timbering in the cold

If you’d prefer to be the one held then he’d be more than happy to 😭 just be prepared for him to be pretty flustered by being the one “in charge”

He does apologize to you when he wakes up if he’s been squishing you, etc etc though

Mother

She definitely one of the LI that are on the podium of best cuddlers. she holds you so warm and tight it’s honestly the best.

She is not the type to be all that physically affectionate, which is honestly a bummer because her hugs and cuddles are the best ever.

Often times at the end of an exhausting day as countess, she loves to spoil you and hold you in her arms.

She’s more than happy to massage your scalp or shoulders, even feeding you some fruit would be sufficient

Sleep wise, she’s as elegant as she is when she’s awake. Her hair is somehow perfect (must be the rose colored lenses talking-) and she’s not a blanket hogger of any kind

She’s really considerate even in her sleep and she’ll randomly wake up in the middle of the night and look for you

If you’re not covered by the blanket, she’ll tuck you in and go back to bed.

Either that or she’ll also hold you in her arms depending on if she believes that you want your space.

Now, if you’re more a sprawler, always falling off the bed, or just not that pretty of a sleeper she find it super endearing

She’ll literally get up from her cozy place on the bed to help you back up. Even going as far as carrying you if that’s what would be more comfortable.

Now, we all know Nadia prefers to be the one “in charge” she prefers to pamper and that’s alright.

But, if you prefer to also show her your affection that same way she’ll be more than happy to oblige- although it’ll be done with a blush.

When cuddling Muriel is super gentle and is hyper aware because of his larger stature, making him scared at the possibility of hurting you.

Which, you have to reassure him would never happen because you’d be happy to be crushed by him

With your constant reassurance and how often you tend to flop yourself on top of him, he eventually just gets used to it.

Cuddle wise, he’s usually big spoon for obvious reasons, he’ll hold you against his chest too along with Inanna being sandwiched by you both.

Again, you tend to be the one laying on him and when he chooses to sleep on his back, you’re laying on his chest and just absorbing his warmth.

I think it’d be obvious, but Muriel would also enjoy being held aswell. When you confront him with the idea he’s flustered because not only has he never considered it but he’s so touch starved.

If you have him lay his head on your chest, being held in your arms or even go as far as have him be little spoon, well his blush is out of this world.

If anything, he’s just happy that you’d want him to feel loved, as if you being around him isn’t enough

It isn’t

He’s basically beet red and he just accepts the affection ,laying there with you because again, he loves it.

Whenever/ if he tries to argue and say that he’s too big or whatever just say that you want him 🔛🔝 of you and just watch him squirm and get so flustered that he forgets

He ends up inevitably bringing it up again, so just cuddle the man

Sleep wise, Muriel is also really considerate. He tries not to take as much space and if you end up subconsciously tugging a blanket that he’s on, he’ll immediately move to give it to you.

Treat him well.

Yes, yes, yes, just yes

She’s the absolute best person to cuddle with, she’s such a cuddle bug and honestly neither of you guys have a preference most times and so it ends in just cuddling however.

Most times it’s either of you on the others chest. Mostly it’s Portia that enjoys having you rest on her and she enjoys playing with your hair or just massaging your scalp.

She’s more than happy to be the big spoon if that’s what you prefer, maybe she’d even tease you for being so “bold” as to ask.

Ironic considering that the instant that you insist on coddling her she’s flushed from head to toe.

Literally almost literally every time you two cuddle she’ll always put a leg over you.

Just a quirk of hers that you’ve noticed and a definite plus is how warm she is which causes you to cling to her.

Which definitely warrants some teasing for clinging onto her like some koala. She finds it endearing though and is definitely worth is since she ends up peppering kisses all over your face

W

Is it really cuddling with Portia if you exclude Pepi? No, no it’s not

Pepi is so cute!! It’s a well known fact and she’ll always end up crawling and making her way through the bundle of blankets to rest her little self in between you and Portia.

Sleep wise, Portia is also a hit or miss 😭

She’ll either cling to you in her sleep while also being considerate so it’s not bothersome

Or she’ll sleep lazily and drool a bit, causing her to be a bit embarrassed once she finally wakes up.

The worst motherfucker to cuddle with, EVER (up to interpretation whether it’s said with love)

Like he sleeps in either of two ways and neither of them are necessarily the best.

The first way is him being all lovey dovey and cuddly with you while the second one makes you wish death (again) upon him.

The first one is admittedly really nice. He’s in your arms and just being the need, clingy we all know Lucio to be.

It’s not so nice because of how this doesn’t change even during the summer time. You’ll definitely end up getting a heatstroke because of him clinging onto you one day.

That’s just the first way though.

The second way is him being sprawled out all over you without a care in the world.

His limbs are so freaking heavy too, it’s not like you could escape even if you desperately wanted to.

Worst part? He steals the fucking blanket all the time

Literally refuses to let go of his weirdly tight grip on the blanket in his sleep, leaving you shivering and timbering all night.

And then he has the audacity of getting mad at you for pushing him off the bed.

Smh

That’s all i have on this fucker

Therapist: Asra Howl isn’t real, he can’t hurt you Asra Howl:

[aikarosethorns]

Day 6- Nadia. Aika doesn't usually bite the hand that feeds her, she is scared, but she can't shake off the feeling of dread that man she spoke to has a death sentence on his neck, she doesn't know, but is the past screaming to her to stop this.

She doesn't remember, but a part of her still feels the love she once fell under the doctor's wing years ago, no wonder she was fascinated by him, swept off her feet for no apparent reason, she has a reason, she doesn't know, but she loves him, she needs him alive, she needs him well....She needs him...

MC Falling Asleep on M6's Lap (Baewatch)

It's been a hot minute since I posted anything and, unfortunately, I don't have the brain power to do any new content. But I figured I would post a headcanon from my old blog. Someone had requested this a long time ago and I loved writing it. The idea was so cute! I love the Baewatch tale and the bonfire scene at the end is so fun. So, here you go! Also, updated my banners just to try out something new :)

Asra is more than prepared for you to fall asleep on his lap. In fact, he can sense your exhaustion before even you can. He gives you a knowing smirk at your first yawn, leans back where he’s seated in the sand, and offers up his lap for you to lay your head in.

“I’m not sleepy,” you insist, crossing your arms indignantly. But his lap looks pretty inviting. Within minutes, you’re conked out, head cradled by Asra’s legs. He tenderly runs his fingers through your hair, smiling softly down at your slumbering form.

When it’s time to leave, he gently rouses you from your sleep. “MC,” he whispers, carefully shifting you in his lap, “It’s time to go.” Groggily, you rise. Hand in hand, you and Asra walk the length of the beach, back to your room, where you get some much needed rest, snuggled up in his arms <3

You’re already resting your head on Nadia’s lap when you feel the first twinge of exhaustion. Your eyes start to droop, though you try desperately to keep them open. You want to watch Julian’s magical fire display, but you’re just so tired.

Nadia discovers you’re asleep when she looks down to see if you’re enjoying yourself. She smiles to herself, moving a strand of your hair aside that’s fallen in front of your eyes. She thinks you look positively adorable. So adorable, in fact, she feels suddenly compelled to pinch your cheeks (but refrains, not wanting to rudely awaken you).

When it’s time to go, Nadia lays a soft kiss on your forehead and whispers your name. She guides you back to your room, holding you close and keeping you warm in the chilly night air. She makes sure you have everything you need before snuggling up beside you in bed<3

You’re dazzled by the multicolored lights flashing before your eyes, changing with each powder Julian tosses into the fire. There’s so much joy floating around the campfire, you find yourself feeling utterly relaxed. So relaxed, in fact, that you lay your head down in Julian’s lap and pass out.

Julian’s too busy showing off his magical powders to notice you’ve fallen asleep, at first. But when he finally does take notice, he makes sure to quiet down. He rubs small circles on your back, gazing thoughtfully down at your peaceful face. He’s glad to see you so restful.

When it’s time to go, he doesn’t bother to try waking you. Instead, he carefully lifts you into his arms and carries you back to your room. He’s so very gentle when he tucks you in, stealthily sliding into bed beside you and cuddling you close <3

Portia practically pulls you into her lap when she notices you yawning. With a wink, she promises she’ll wake you up if anything crazy exciting happens. You smile up at her before falling asleep to the comforting sensation of her combing her fingers through your hair.

You’re knocked out for the remainder of the bonfire. Portia makes mental notes of all the things you’re missing, ready to regale you with all of the nonsense that occurred while you slept. She marvels over the fact that you could sleep through Lucio’s racket (though she did see your face twist in what could’ve been annoyance when he was being particularly loud). She was quick to quiet him down, shooting him a dirty look.

When it’s time to leave, Portia leans in to whisper in your ear, “Come on, cuddle bug. It’s time to go.” She giggles as your eyes flutter open and you flash a quizzical look her way. She’s never called you “cuddle bug” before and you’re not sure how you feel about it. You can’t help but laugh a little as she guides you back to the room, ready to settle in for the night with you <3

Muriel has been silent, as usual, the whole of the night. But you’ve caught him smiling a few times. He seems a bit mesmerized by the changing colors of the fire. Seeing him relaxed makes you feel even more relaxed than you already were. You lay your head down in Muriel’s lap, which startles him at first, and decide to close your eyes for a minute.

Well, a minute becomes a while. You’re lulled to sleep by Muriel’s warmth, the crackle of the fire, and the gentle rush of the waves. Muriel is rigid when he discovers you’ve fallen asleep on him. He doesn’t move a muscle the entire rest of the night, terrified to wake you up. In fact, he barely breathes in fear of rousing you (something you’ll laugh about later).

When it’s time to go, he awkwardly lifts you from the ground, cradling you gently in his arms. You wake up on the walk back to your room, but he keeps you snuggled up in his embrace. When you reach home, you fall asleep again, wrapped up in his arms <3

In the brief moment that night when Lucio is actually sitting still, you manage to lay your head in his lap. “Don’t you go falling asleep on me, MC!” he teases, catching you yawning, “The night is young, yet!” You roll your eyes at him, settling further in. Secretly, he’s happy you’re cuddling up with him.

Despite Lucio’s hullabaloo, you manage to fall asleep. When he looks down to ask if you want anything else to eat or drink, he notices you’re passed out in his lap. A lot of things go through his mind, all at once. He has half a mind to draw a moustache on you, smiling devilishly at the thought. But he’s also just really delighted that you’re relaxed enough with him to fall asleep.

He lets you rest (though he’s not very good at keeping quiet for you and, in his excitement over the bonfire, he definitely bonks you in the head a couple times with his knee which is followed up by profuse apologies, smooches, and hushes for you to go back to sleep). When it’s time to go, he shakes you awake (a bit unceremoniously), but makes up for it when you return to your room by tucking you into bed and cuddling up beside you <3

Quick HCs!

The M6 favorite places to ♧winkwink♧

Asra - on top of the desert house. The stars shine bright, the wind brings the desert's scent, the bricks are still hot and the air is cool.

Nadia - that huge bathtub of hers, at dusk, when the city starts to glow behind the window.

Julian - the back of some infamous pub or nightclub, with the voices and music still ringing in your ears and the fear of being found.

Portia - her big, comfy bed. The morning sun sliding in through the lace curtains and the breakfast on her bed table still hot and fuming.

Muriel - on that big, soft patch of musk just next to the waterfall. The water sometimes gets to your backs, making you shiver.

Lucio - the opera theater, in his big opulent box, barely hidden by the darkness and the music.
