I’m letting him smooch my forehead for the nth time if it means I get affection and smooches 🥹🥲 I’m desperate ok?! 🫠 mf I’ve been single for way too long… I need some dopamine…. Also Forehead smooches just hit different
Ugh Baldwin is just so- imagine being mad at him for whatever reason (maybe he was a bit late to come when you called for him because he was busy with court affairs and now he has to deal with a pissed princess who's huffing and puffing because she cant get her time machine to work and out of frustration, she misplaces her anger and takes it out on Baldwin).
He has you trapped against the wall, arms on caging you as you refuse to look at him. Baldwin is trying so hard to supress his smile, because you look even more adorable when youre mad.
"Princess-" he smooches your forehead. "No." You puff your cheeks, brows furrowed as you look to the side, eyes full of anger and distress. Another smooch to you kiss. "Princess, Im sorry-"
"No." You cut him off and he automatically lands another kiss, this time right under your left eye, if only to make you look at him momentarily.
"I'm sorry I was late-"
"You said- no! No more kisses!" You evaded his lips as you glared at him, making him pout. "You said nothing is more important than me. That you'd come anytime I'd call you. I waited for 2 hours! TWO HOURS!"
"I know, my love and Im sorry. The council had some affairs that needed to be dealt with immediately, and time just slipped out of my hand. I promise, it wont happen again." He jutted out his bottom lip (and although anyone else wouldve looked ugly like this, this is Baldwin we're talking about. he's never ugly.) "Forgive me?" His blue eyes held remorse for his mistake, and it didnt help when he brought them even closer when he rested his forehead on yours, making your breath hitch.
"I- uh- fine! Fine! I forgive you!" You finally breathed as your face turned pink, moving it away from him, only for the king to chuckle as he sweetly kissed the apple of your cheeks. "Thank you, princess!"
Ugh. Pretty privelege.
You shot him a glare. "What was so important that the council wouldnt let you leave anyways?"
"Hm? Oh, they wanted to discuss who should be allowed to attend our wedding night."
You stared at him. "What?"
"Well, as per tradition, they wanted to discuss who would be allowed to see us consumate-" he burst into laughter as you threw a book at him. Your face was all red as you began pulling at his blonde hair and was about to beat him when Baldwin suddenly lifted you up and slammed you on your bed, knocking the air out of you as he caught your wrists in one hand while the other tapped your nose.
"As if I would let any see my pretty little prude." He grinned, leaning down to kiss your nose. "You're all mine, princess. All mine."
For the rest of the day, you were too flustered to say a word to him, or even look at him. And so, it never occurred to you to ask him how he convinced the council to make an exemption of this tradition for you.
If you'd asked, Baldwin would've told you that the council wanted confirmation that their monarchs did the deed... to which lover boy replied-
"When you see the queen having to be carried around after our wedding night, you'll know."

I see heaven (crush me)
Chapter 1: I'm a masochist , rip out my guts. (Crush - Fletcher)
Words : 6k +
Tumblr media Tumblr media
read on ao3
My calex account- @calex-in-subtext
Casey was stressed, to say a least, it wasn't even the end of the first week of her Harvard college career and she was already STRESSED
In between softball (thank's god for the existence of scholarships), her tons of homework (literally, it's been a week??) and her ability to get lost everywhere because her sense of direction is crap.
She was stressed.
The redhead ran, not walked, RAN to her next class, Criminal Law and Procedure, in the speed of light, already 10 minutes late into her first class in this course and she was dreading it.
Professor cabot wasn't known for being forgiving, probably the reason she was called 'the ice queen' behind her back
Casey walked into the room, finally, hoping to not get too much attention by either her professor or peers, but just for her luck, she got into the room just in the middle of the blonde's interdiction, and got herself a good understanding why everyone else were terrified by the woman.
The woman was gorgeous, like in a sculpture kind of way, high cheekbones, blue eyes and blonde hair in a neat updo.
Casey was terrified.
The blonde's head shot to the door the moment she heard it opening.
If looks could kill cassandra novak would've been dead, she was absolutely certain.
"Give me one reason why should i let you into my class"
The professor said. Not a hint of warmth in her tone.
Shit.
"Im sorry, i got lost on the way here" casey explained, eyes wide open.
She was grateful her voice didn't crack.
"It wont happen again"
Professed cabot looked at casey momentarily, seems to try and decide how to proceed before she looked at the other students.
"As i was saying, before you interrupted, there's a few things i will not tolerate, and lateness is definitely standing somewhere in the top of the list.
Can you guess why's that? If you'll answer correctly i might let you into the class"
The Professor said.
Casey looked at her classmates desperately.
"Because it's disrespectful?"
She asked
The blonde stared at her for a second longer before she she fixed her glasses on her nose and looked at another student, a short haired brunette on the first row.
"Miss benson"
The pretty looking brunette looked at Casey with a small knowing smirk.
Oh no,
Casey thought.
"Because, as lawyers, time's meaning is crucial especially in court."
Professor Cabot nodded at the brunette before looking back at casey. Who was busy glaring at her peer.
"And rightfully so. 10 minutes late might be the line between a criminal's conviction to freedom."
Casey gulped.
"What's your name?"
"Casey- Cassandra novak" casey said
The professor nodded curtly
"Miss novak. You should take this little chat into consideration, i will see you next class, hopefully on time"
Casey's eyebrows farrowed in frustration, she huffed before nodding at her professor and leaving the class, half embarrassed, half annoyed and mostly frustrated.
What the hell is wrong with this woman.
How is she supposed to get the homework she will surly miss. She knows absolutely no one in this class.
After taking a stroll around the campus for 30 more minutes she decided to go back to class, her classmates will be finishing their class and she might get to talk to one of them and catch up with the class.
Professor cabot didn't deem like the kind of woman to forgive missing out on school work and god bless Casey's soul she both wanted to get good grades, and desperately needed to pass this class if she wanted to be an attorney.
Unfortunately for casey, most her peers had already left the class and the others wouldn't bother to even look in her direction.
Assholes.
So she put on her big girls pants and walked back into the classroom she noticed that the professor was occupied in a conversation with a few students, one of them was the brunette from earlier, something benson, so she waited on the side. Not interrupting their ass kissing session.
When the three students left the room, they passed by casey, the brunette scanning her over with a judgmental smile
That damn bitch, casey thought
"Miss novak"
Casey looked away from the smirking brunette to meet blue eyes.
The blonde's stare was intimidating and casey felt herself shrinking, trying to keep herself upright under her gaze.
"Yes, i don't want to bother you on your break i just wanted to see what i missed in class"
The professor nodded at her before taking a piece of sheet from a drawer and handing it over to her.
"Not much material, just the syllabus and the class expectations, luckily for you, you didn't miss much.
I believe you learned from your mistake?"
The blonde gaze pierced casey, and as intimidating it was, she somehow managed to fond the woman a bit impressing.
A real fucking lawyer.
"It won't happen again" casey said with confidence.
Trying to make it look as if she wasn't just silently praying that this whole ordeal will end.
Casey was genuinely a pretty punctual person, and a damn good student, and she needed this cold, hard demeanor professor to know that as well.
"Good" the blonde nodded at her as she fixed her black rimed glasses.
"Anything else?" She asked with a ghost of a knowing smile.
Or casey imagined.
"Nothing more, thank you" casey said politely and left the room.
--
It wasn't long since that first class before casey decided that she didn't actually hated Professor Cabot.
She wasn't the biggest fan of the woman, mostly because she didn't show many emotions- and it was weird, but was still desperately trying to stay on her better side, especially now that casey understood why benson and her friends tried to kiss the woman's ass.
After half an hour of internet stoking, she found out the professor wasn't just incredibly good at her teaching job, but she was also a damn good lawyer and apparently worked at some point alongside the police department to put the most horrible murderers and rapist behind bars with conviction rate of 97% .
Which was insane, that woman never lose.
Casey decided she wanted to be the top of her class, both because she needed to, and also she would've loved to see the look on benson's face when she will.
And maybe because she wanted the older woman's approval.
Unfortunately for casey, who grew up in a middle class family with 3 more siblings, she needed to work, hard in every aspect of life.
There was the fact she had other classes to drown at (and work hard to keep herself at the top), she had softball practices that kicked her ass multiple times a week- and thankfully so because that was the reason she even got a scholarship in the first place.
And on top of this she also had a few shifts a week, making coffee and get embarrassed by doing so to her classmates, that probably never worked for a living a day in their lives, and even a few professors.
Never professor cabot. Tho.
She was exhausted and it's been 3 months into the school year.
On the brighter side of things, casey's roommate george was a sweetheart.
They rented a small (so small) apartment near campus, and it was by far the favorite experience she had in college aside from softball.
After the two officially finished their last test for the quarter , they desperately wanted to do something fun
Plus, her softball teammates kept nagging her about not going to their parties.
And that's how casey found herself spending her Thursday evening getting drunk in some party of someone she knew absolutely nothing about,
although she had classes the next day, they weren't morning classes and she was absolutely optimistic she will manage to get there.
Unfortunately for casey, she forgot how easy it was for her to get drunk, and she got hammered. Hard. And it happened way too earlier than excruciating so it wasn't even 12 am and she was already hammered outside the party, smoking a cigarette and wondering how the fuck she was getting back home.
George, god bless his soul, was having the time of his life, flirting his way into some closeted fratboy pants and her softball friends were chugging on beers and making out with strangers (and each other) without a care in the world.
10 minutes later casey decided she wasn't feeling it anymore, and decided to start the 15 minute walk back to her place so she could , hopefully, sleep the alcohol off.
And so it happens that in the same neighborhood her friends were celebrating their youth, a few blocks away, a certain blonde professor was getting out of a fancy jeep, and being kissed by another.
Casey was trying not to stare, fucking really, but you have to understand,
Casey was very drunk
Like, VERY
And even if professor cabot could've been terrifying, she was a beautiful woman, especially now, in a tight blue dress, hair falling on her shoulders and long, long legs in sight, and especially kissing a woman.
Unfortunately for casey, as much as she would want to say how charming she is, dashing and even mysterious, she was pissed out her mind.
Therefore, right when the stranger was going to deepen the kiss, casey found herself falling down, hands down, and basically smeared on the floor.
A groggy "aw" leaving her mouth,
Alex broken the kiss in a second and looked away from her date, to find not far away from her, a familiar face, pushing herself back up, as if she didn't just fell down and not just scratched both her hands and knees but also hit her face.
Now, as comically it might sound (and it does) that shit hurt like a bitch, and casey was mortified when she looked at her bloody hands.
Her nose was bleeding.
"Miss novak, is that you?"
Casey froze
Oh fuck.
The brunette looked at her date confused
"You know her?"
"A student of mine, i had a lovely evening. will you excuse me?" She hurriedly said to her date, before the other woman could even respond the blonde was already marching towards the drunk woman.
"Are you alright?" The blonde asked softly, worried.
Casey didn't know what she was expecting, definitely not the softness of alex cabot's hands on her cheek, observing her face worriedly.
"Peachy"
It was definitely not.
"I think you broke your nose" alex said
"No shit" casey muttered
"What did you say?"
Alex wasn't even mad, she could see the woman wasn't just drunk but also in absolute shock so she let it slide.
Casey was a good girl after all.
And also, alex figured it was the shock from the fall,
Casey wouldn't admit for the world but the biggest shock was still the sight of her professor in this damn dress.
"Nothing,
i should go"
The redhead said hurriedly before trying to escape the scene.
"You need to see a doctor" alex said and casey eyes widened
"No no I'm fine its just a scratch"
"Cassandra your nose is broken"
Casey heart flutter
Cassandra was indeed her name, as her ID could prove, but she was never called cassandra by anyone who wasn't her mother when she got angry.
Alex saying her name unlocked a weird flutter in her stomach.
"Come, ill give you a ride, i don't trust that you'll be smart enough to get there on your own"
"Im smart, i have the best grades in your class" casey argued cockily and alex rolled her eyes half heartedly
"Lets go novak, we don't have the whole night"
The ER wasn't very full, luckily for the pair- that genuinely looked out if place, alex with a beautiful evening dress and casey with a small party top- so the all ordeal hadn't taken long.
The redhead sobered up, alex made her drink as much water she could physically absorb, the redhead took each one of the cups with bravery even when she felt she might vomit. (She was also terrified of eye contact with the older woman)
"Cassandra novak"
The nurse called and casey got up.
She hated doctors and the thought of going in alone terrified her - she was obviously not going yo asked her professor to come in with her- and alex picked on that up pretty quickly so she got up as well.
Giving the younger woman an encouraging smile.
"As fast as we'll go in, the fest you'll be out of there"
Alex said confidently before walking towards the doctor's office.
Alex was right.
of course.
At the end of it, hours afterwards casey found herself asleep in alex's passenger sit, bandaged on her nose and hands - who apparently suffered a lot as well, and a few marvel band aids scattered on her knees.
She was a sight. Alex decided.
If you'd ask the older woman, she wouldn't admit it, but that evening was probably the first time she got to look at the other woman properly, and even with a fucked up bloody nose and scratched, she had to admit that cassandra novak was indeed a pretty woman.
She also got to see the younger woman in a different light,
They were obviously still very much in the professor student territory, but alex couldn't be apathetic to the younger woman distress and it showed.
She even held casey's hand for a few seconds as the doctor treated her nose.
Casey looked like she might faint by the gesture.
Alex never wanted to see casey in this state again.
She never wanted people to suffer, not including actual bad people, but this time it felt different.
Alex told herself that it's because cassandra novak was her favorite student, not that she'll ever admit that to anyone, and not because she looked vulnerable and she wanted to keep her safe from harm.
Casey was still passed out, and alex was overthinking as usual - And then they arrived to casey's apartment.
Alex tried not to wrinkle her nose when she looked around, she knew she had expensive taste, she could afford it even if she wasn't working, with her family's fortune, but she still found the area a bit alarming and she wasn't thrilled being there - or dropping casey's there.
(The neighborhood was okay, decent looking, alex was just being a spoiled brat.)
Thankfully for alex, casey woke up when the car stopped, because god save the older's woman anxiety, she had no idea how to wake casey up without making this a lot more awkward for both.
She already felt like she crossed a line when she held her hand in the ER.
"Thank you, honestly, it's embarrassing you had to see me going through that. Let along had to go through it with me, im sorry for ruining your.. um evening.. , and um, thanks again"
Casey was biting her lip awkwardly, cheeks red.
She looked cute.
Alex noticed casey's tone change slightly as she said evening, she was going to say something else, for certain.
Date.
Alex should text her date, apologize for hurrying off.
She would've probably be in a very different situation with a very different woman if casey wasn't there.
Sadly she couldn't get herself to be bothered by that as much as she probably should be.
"Im glad i was there, nothing to apologize for cassandra, i promise." The blonde said. She let herself smile at casey, not for the first time tonight, she found it a bit hard to hide and it was only the two of them, so they'll be alright.
Casey smiled brightly- then winced because her nose was kicking her ass, before she got out of the car.
"Good night, see you tomorrow"
"Don't come to class tomorrow, im giving you a pass, cassandra. Ill email you the homework, just use this long weekend to rest and take your antibiotics, good night"
Alex said before driving away.l
Casey smiled softly to herself.
--
Casey did went to class the day afterwards, and obviously a few classmates just had to share a joke or two (olivia fucking benson) but overall she managed.
It was all worth it when she saw alex looking at her, half surprised- half impressed, from behind her black glasses.
A while had passed since that evening and apart from people genuinely laughing at casey's clumsiness nothing interesting happened afterwards .
Of course, no one knew the length of the situation, they all just knew she was clumsy and fell and went to the ER afterwards and that was it.
But casey couldn't forget that, as drunk as she was,
Alex was clearly a good person, and casey was genuinely surprised by the reaction she received by the professor- who could still terrify a whole class with one gaze- and in a way it made her feel better, knowing she got to see that different side of alex.
She didn't felt much different in class after that.
The professor acted as professional as always, but still casey noticed she started to look at the older woman differently.
And she felt the same from the older woman as well.
She found alex impressing since pretty early in her academic career, but now she found herself drawn to the older woman on a different level.
She wanted to get closer to her, literally, to sit first row in class, to have a conversation with her outside of class, even if its just 5 minutes and about homework, and to actually get to know her.
She even started coming to class a few minutes early just to catch alex's raised eyebrow and a small smile.
She was the only one to get these reactions, and it made her happy.
Sometimes they even engage in a random small talk.
( "How was your weekend?"
"Pretty decent, yours?
Its seems you had an interesting one"
Casey had a few scratches on her face
"Fell from a tree"casey explains as if it made sense
"Okay then" alex would've chucked.
Other times;
"Do you like books?"
"About law?.."
"No, books in general"
"I do, read a lot of fantasy, have a soft sport for harry potter"
"Make sense"
casey still have no idea if it was a good reaction
Their most remarkable before class conversation was they day casey walked in angry, 15 minutes before anyone arrived.
She was pissed and genuinely exhausted and sat quietly in her sit, alex who got used to seeing casey's cheery- almost bubbly smile- was taken back by that.
"What happened?" The blonde asked, she barely even looked at casey, her nose stuck in files.
"Everything fine"
"You're a horrible liar, cassandra"
Fuck off
"I don't feel like talking about it"
"I wont pressure you into talking, but i think you should"
Casey's eyes filled up with tears and she bit her lip to hold herself from breaking down.
"Just a huge blowout with my father, that catholic asshole"
Alex got up from her sit, files forgotten, and set next to casey, tissues in hand.
She was absolutely certain she knew the nature of the other woman's outburst
Alex didn't press, just put her hand on casey's shoulder, squeezing it softly a few times for comfort.
Casey looked at alex, green eyes bloody and dull, alex hated that.
"He disowned me, basically, he found out i liked a woman and it didn't go well" she chuckled darkly.
"He didn't even let me know that, he just stone cold shut me out, my mom haven't contacted me as well, i learned about that from my sister"
"Im so sorry casey, you don't deserve this."
Alex called casey by her name and casey was so occupied with her frustration that she couldn't even be bothered about it.
No one deserves to be treated this way, regardless of their sexual preference or orientation, and alex felt so mad about that.
Alex was lucky, She knew, her parents were accepting when she came out to them.
Partly because they didn't have much choice, She was an only daughter- their legacy, And generally their biggest achievement (her mom's words, not hers)
Casey sniffled and used alex's tissue to get rid of the tears that managed to escape.
"I have nobody"
Im here. Aren't i?
"That's not true, you are loved Cassandra, by people that deserve having you in their lives"
Casey smiled at her softly
"I have a candy somewhere, i think sugar will do some good" alex said and got up.
Casey missed her comforting touch the moment the blonde broke it.
Maybe alex felt it too, because when she returned with a pack of gam she set next to casey again. And onto her hand in a comforting manner.
They stayed like these, talking quietly, until they heard the door open and burst their bubble)
At some point casey found herself genuinely attracted to the woman.
Both on an intellectual level and physically.
It wasn't even surprising to her, the blonde woman was always beautiful in her book, but after seeing the woman in a different light ( and also that fucking dress ) she couldn't shake the thought of the older woman in a different scenarios.
Some more appropriate than others.
A few more months had passed and Casey found herself at the last exams of the year, And also days before the last softball game of the season.
Casey was nervous, she was still the newest blood on the team, and she felt she had a lot to prove, especially to the seniors- who deserved to finished their college career as champions, so she found hers working herself off on both fields and on too of that a worked weekends.
unfortunately for casey she was only human and started to feel the impact of the unhealthy lifestyle she practiced.
Alex noticed all of that.
When casey walked into her morning class she looked like she might fall asleep at any single moment,
Surprisingly, casey managed to stay awake through the entire class - which was two hours long.
Every few minutes alex's eyes will subtly search for casey just to find her sitting upright, taking motes, dark circles under her eyes and pale looking.
When the class finished alex decided to take an approach.
She couldn't help it, really.
She was genuinely worried.
"Miss novak, a moment" alex said as everyone started to put their stuff away,
Casey was absolutely sure she hadn't spaced out during the lecture or forgot to submit some paper, yet she got a bit nervous.
Casey hated the fact the only time she got to see alex's different side was either in glimpses before class or in the fucking ER, she desperately wanted to actually spend time with the older woman and to have a real meaningful conversation with her
"Professor"
Casey said as she walked to the older woman.
The class was empty at this point.
Alex was wearing her hair down, like she did the night they went to the ER and it made casey smile softly, she looked flawless, really.
"How are you handling the stress?"
Alex asked kindly.
Casey didn't see that question coming
"Pardon?"
It was out before Casey's brain managed to comprehend what she was saying
Alex actually chuckled at that.
Not something drastic, but a chuckle nonetheless.
Casey chest felt warm.
"You're doing alright, with your exams? I've heard softball taking a lot of your energy as well"
Alex put her hand on casey's arm, casey decided this is her favorite thing alex did so far.
Especially because the older woman was known in being distant and cold towards most, yet her touch was soft and warm and made casey feel good.
"Yes, but i promise there's nothing to worry about, professor, I'm handling it"
Casey promised
She worked too hard to be where she was at and didn't want her favorite professor (and crush) to think she didn't care enough or put enough effort in her school work.
"I'm absolutely certain you do. I meant in general, I'm well aware there's a lot of stress on you"
Casey stared at alex surprised by her forwardness.
"You look exhausted, Cassandra, I'm a bit worried"
Casey smiled softly at Alex, and got a soft smile in return. Both women felt warm inside.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm a bit behind on sleeping, but at least it's not in the material" she chuckled at her own horrible joke.
Alex squeezed casey's shoulder in encouragement
"You need to rest, its not healthy"
alex always knew this time of the year was stressful, And she saw how it affected students, hell, she was a professor for a while but she was a student as well once upon a time.
Even if she barely showed it, she cared for her students, and just maybe (Definitely), she cared for cassandra novak a little bit (a lot) more.
"I will sleep more, after the game this Friday." Casey promised with a smile.
"And eat"
Alex was absolutely certain the younger woman skipped a few meals, not purposely, but still.
Casey smiled widened, dimples and all.
"You really care" casey realized and alex blushed slightly . Cursing herself for it.
"I care for my students" alex explained and casey looked at her unconvinced
"Oh yes, you're known for this" casey joked
Alex raised her eyebrows knowingly, a mischievous smirk playing on painted lips.
"You should come to the game, i think you might enjoy it"
Alex was absolutely certain she would not- as a person who couldn't care less for sports.
"So i could take you the ER again if something go wrong?"
Only if you'd wear that dress again.
"Im good at softball"
"I once believed you'd be good in walking around the street as well, but look where we are"
Casey wholeheartedly laughed at that,
Their interaction was so easy, sometimes, and casey loved every bit of it.
It felt natural.
"Does that mean you'll be there?"
Alex smiled at Casey's hopeful tone.
"We'll see, miss novak, now go eat something and take a nap"
--
Alex did went to casey's game.
The woman never showed interest in sports in her life and even a few of the other professors who went were surprised to see her there.
When casey saw her from the field she smiled, dimples and all, and alex's heart clutched uncontrollably.
To say Casey looked good in uniform will be the biggest understatement of the century, in alex's book.
Casey was obviously very fit, she could see that even when the younger woman wore jeans or sweatpants and especially with the outfits she wore when they went to the ER - which alex had to stop herself from checking out multiple times,
But this time it was different,
casey was in her element, toned arms flexing every time they gripped on the bet, ginger hair pulled into a long braid and the pants (god bless the person who made softball uniform pants THAT TIGHT) hugging her ass perfectly.
alex believed she might get a aneurysm just from trying to act unfazed by the whole ordeal, luckily for her her train of thoughts got cut off by a family voice.
"Professor cabot"
Alex looked away from away from casey's ass to the general direction she heard the voice coming from.
"Miss benson, how are you?"
In class professor cabot was known as the cold hearted , scary professor, aka the ice queen, but outside she was still very much human, and at the end of the day, it wasn't something she tried to hide, she saw no reason in hiding the fact she was indeed not always a bitch.
But honestly, she liked that her students were a bit scared of her, it kept them motivated.
"Im okay, how about you?
I have to admit professor, i wouldn't have tagged you as a softball fan"
Alex noticed that when she spoke with casey it was easy, even if it wasn't related to class itself, it cane naturally, unfortunately for alex- olivia wasn't casey.
Professor cabot was known to be cold, alexandra cabot was known for being classy, alex was just a very awkward human being.
"I normally don't go but its the end of the season, thought it'll be nice" she answered politely.
The two woman who now stood side by side hadn't noticed casey watching them from the field, cheeks red and hands tightly gripping the bet.
The red head had no idea what they were talking about, and was obviously trying to keep her emotions at bay.
the logical part of her brain understood that alex had more students, but the other one just felt jealous.
Especially because alex and her weren't anything other than student and her professor.
Not really.
The game was over pretty quickly, to alex's surprise
The conversation with Olivia hadn't been long, and even while she politely spoke to the brunette she was still more interested in casey's game.
(And ass)
When they won, and they did, casey was delighted
Her cheeks red and green eyes sparkling with excitement , Her dimples (god, alex had a soft spot for those) showing in full force.
The team was ecstatic, all hugging and shouting and some even kissed, thankfully for alex, casey wasn't one of them, she wouldn't be able to watch her kiss someone.
More than 45 minutes after the game ended most people already left, not alex.
The blonde was standing in the middle of the field, her hands clutching on a varsity jacket with "novak" written on its back.
when casey was leaving the locker room (and searching for her jacket) she noticed the blonde and smiled widely.
Casey was dressed to impress, for sure, black skintight cocktail dress and high hills.
She was going to meet up with George and a few more friends to celebrate.
When the blonde noticed her as well she sent the older woman a wave and walked over to her.
"You're still here"
She tried to ignore the tingly feeling in her stomach when she cached alex's gaze on her.
"I guessed congratulations were in order, and also, you forgot this jacket in class today"
The two smiled at each other, both a bit unsure how to handle the conversation.
Casey took the jacket away from alex's grasp.
Their hands touching briefly.
"I'm happy to see you in one piece, cassandra"
Casey laughed
"Well thank you, i did tried my best"
After moment of silence casey decided to take a shot in the dark.
"I like it when you call me cassandra,
It sounds so much better than miss novak"
"I'll take that into account,
does it bothering you when i call you miss novak?"
"Well no, except every time you call me miss novak makes me feel like I'm being scolded in class"
Alex smirked at that.
Casey will never forget their first meeting, it seems.
"Alright then, cassandra.
in that case, You can call me alex, or alexandra - not in front of your classmates, of course"
Alex took herself by surprise by saying that.
Casey smiled "alex it is"
Alex's phone beeped and she rolled her eyes.
"I have to go, do you have a ride?" Alex asked- Secretly hoping to spend a few more minutes in casey's company.
"I do, my roommate is waiting for me somewhere, we're going to celebrate my victory"
Alex chuckled at that before putting her glasses back on.
"Give me your phone"
Casey gave her the phone with a puzzled expression.
Alex saved her own number in the redhead's contacts under "Alexandra" and pressed dial, to make sure she'll have casey's number as well.
"If you find yourself in a familiar situation as last time, call me, i prefer you don't walk around drunk"
Both knew it wasn't 'right' - it was dangerous territory.
If someone will know about it - even if nothing actually happens- alex integrity will be questioned and she might lose her job.
But alex trusted casey and damn her job, if something will happen to the red head when she could stop that she wont be able to live.
The fact alex knew that and still gave casey her number made casey's heart flutter.
"Thank you, Alex, goodnight" she said and alex smiled again before she turned around and left the field.
A few seconds after the professor left, casey still stood there with the biggest grin until George got to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You're ready to go?"
-
Later that night casey was indeed drunk
After some girl tried to kiss her, and another one asked for her number - she politely declined both- she got to conclusion that she's not interested in neither.
George asked her about it, but he had a feeling the woman was genuinely not interested in anyone- well other than her professor- and after seeing them together (when they weren't even aware of his presence) , he couldn't blame his roommate.
At this point in the evening both roommates and their friends were very drunk.
George was having a nice, half drunk, conversation with a guy in the corner- and casey who couldn't be in the heated space anymore went out for a smoke and checked her notifications,
Alexandra: Just making sure you're okay
(When alex sent it she was actually nervous but decided she wanted to remind casey she could talk to her if needed)
Its been 5 minutes since alex sent it and casey was impressed that the older woman was still awake.
Cassandra: Im okay, how about you?
Alex chuckled at the response , she was certain casey was drunk.
Alexandra: Im good, wanted to check on you.
No broken nose or anything?
Cassandra: no trip to the ER is needed.
Alexandra: good, it means you haven't tried walking around by yourself, i presume
Cassandra: excuse you, it was your fault i broke my nose in the first place
Alexandra: meaning?
Shut up casey, the sober part of her brain would've shout if it wasn't clouded by the amount of alcohol she drank
Before she typed a response her phone rang, the blonde's name flashing on the screen
"What does it mean?"
"Nothing" casey responded
"Casey!"
That was new, no cassandra and no miss novak.
Just alex calling her name in her serious tone.
"Why are you even awake? Alex"
Casey breathed, trying to change the subject
"You're trying to deflect" alex was annoyed
"Im not" casey lied
"Im a lawyer, cassandra, don't try to bullshit me"
Casey's breath stoped momentarily when she heard alex curse.
That was a lot more hotter than she expected.
"Pick me up?" She said and gave in to her drunk impulses.
"Send me the adress" alex said before hanging up
Casey went back inside to let her friends know she was leaving with a friend, not before she promised George to let him know she was home
When she got back outside she saw a familiar car, and got in, smiling at Alex.
"Thank you"
"No problem" the older woman said.
She was wearing sweatpants and a t shirt, her hair pulled into a messy bun and had no makeup on.
She looked beautiful , casey thought.
They started the drive in a pretty comfortable silence
"What did you meant, on the phone? How was it my fault you broke your nose?"
Casey took a deep breath.
Shit.
"I meant i was surprised to see you.. like that"
Alex couldn't figure out what casey meant by that even if she tried.
"Cassandra, what?"
"i meant dressed like you were and outside of class.. I thought you looked breathtaking"
Casey whispered and alex breath hitched.
"You're drunk"
"And you're beautiful"
they stopped talking for a few seconds, both stuck in their heads, before alex stopped the car, right outside casey's apartment.
"You cant say that , cassandra, I'm your professor" alex said, before casey would've slipped away from the car.
Casey put her hand on the older woman's cheek.
"Don't you think i know that alex?"
Casey's eyes began to water, she didn't know how to handle the rejection
"I think you're beautiful too"
Alex admitted sadly, painfully even.
She couldn't handle seeing casey, who was normally so confident, reaction.
Especially because alex felt the same way.
They were screwed.
Casey looked at her with farrowed eyes,
"Please don't lie to make me feel better, its just making me feel worse"
Casey bagged
"I don't" alex admitted "you're breathtaking Cassandra, especially in that goddamn dress"
And that was it,
Casey's lips were on alex's.
And as much as alex's logical part of the brain tried to push everything she felt back, it was useless.
She was far gone.
After months of holding back, painful chemistry and effort to keep herself from catching unprofessional feelings, that was it.
The kiss was desperate,
Casey's lips tasted like cheap tequila and pizza, alex's tasted like toothpaste.
Alex's hands tangled in casey's hair, while casey pulled the older woman as close as she could.
"I wanted to do that for so long" casey murmured as they broke apart. Noses inches away from each other.
"I know. So did i" alex admitted, to both herself and casey. "But you know we cant do that, I'm your teacher" she continued and casey pulled her in again.
Alex kissed back instantly
"Im almost 25, a consenting adult, and i fucking want this. No one has to know, i know you want me too, i can feel it"
Alex took off the younger woman's sit belt , and then her own before Casey climbed over the space between them and sat on her lap.
The blonde's hand instantly moved to casey's ass while casey's found themselves wrapped around alex's neck.
Tongues battling for dominance - alex won.
"Come inside" casey said between kisses,
She felt her whole body warming up with anticipation.
"We cant Cassandra, You're drunk" alex said and pulled away painfully.
Her hands climbing up from the redhead's ass to her hair, and cheeks.
"I sobered up" casey argued and alex laughed.
"I want to believe you, but i cant. if we're doing this, we need to do this properly"
Casey groaned before burying her face in alex's neck, kissing her shoulder blade.
Alex sighed softly and casey felt herself getting worked up by the sound alone
"You sure about the waiting part?" Casey whispered as she trailed kisses on the older woman's neck.
Sucking on her pulse point.
Alex's hand pulled casey's hair, by accident, Casey's reaction to it was a small moan and alex had to stop herself from getting the younger girl right there on the steering wheel.
"You should go to bed Cassandra, sleep the alcohol off" alex said and pulled casey from her neck.
It took every ounce of self restraint from her to do so.
"I don't want this to end" casey admitted and looked into alex's blue- who looked at her warmly, a sight she will cherish for the rest of her life.
"Its not a real goodbye, its just for a few hours, i promise"
Alex said and kissed casey's cheek
"You promise?"
"I do"

*SOME DURGE QUEST SPOILERS*
***NONCON AND DRUG USE MENTIONS***
GORTASH SFW HEADCANONS:
ok to start i think when he was a prisoner his hair got rlly long and unkept and he hateddd it so the minute he escaped he chopped that shit off himself and thats why its so unruly lol (*EDIT he always cuts his own hair is what im sayin)

probably BLASTED jet black heart by 5SOS on repeat when Durge disappeared LMFAOO
also i kind of feel like the fearless buff to his clothing is more an insight to his character rather than him needing magic to not be fearful bcz he literally got the shit beat out of him everyday and lived in HELL how can he not be desensitized to everything at that point 😭😭😭 it does not get much worse than that my boy
hes so thique like hes just a big boned dude. tiddies SO fat too EUGH + thick shoulders/arms. he feels so warm and safe i just know it i just KNOW it gurl
also idk if it was supposed to happen but in my latest playthrough during the fight with him he dropped his bow and just started beating the shit out of us 😭😭😭😭 all hands baby like WHAT 😭😭 so i like to think thats his preferred method of fighting idk if thats canon tho i feel like i seen somebody talking abt that before but mightve just been another hc
occasionally does drugs. likes the ones that make him feel really elated (idk what theyre called in bg3 its some kind of dust or something) ALSO HC THAT HE WAS ON SOMETHING WHEN HE WROTE RHAT FUCKED UP NOTE TO FRANC (WAS THAG HIS NAME U GUYS KNOW THE NOTE) HE WAS OBVIOJSLY TRIPPING BALLSSSSS

GORTASH NSFW HEADCANONS:
yeah going off that last hc he is sweet outside the bedroom but a menace in it. its just the way he is. its probably exhausting too 😩 like if u ask him to be gentler/less intense he will try for a while but probably wont enjoy it as much. he doesnt like to hold back.
i WILL say tho ☝🏻🤨 i think when he gets close to finishing he gets a little more soft/loving. he just has to get his badness out first yall its fine
HIGH libido wants to smash all the time. he also (POSSIBLE NONCON MENTION !!!!!!!) thinks that since ur his u should be willing to give it up whenever he wants it. (NONCON MENTION OVER) i think in the bedroom he sees u as a servant even if ur considered his equal normally. like hes a chosen of bane he has to feel like he has control over u in SOME way
can be selfish depending on his mood. sometimes he doesnt see u as anything other than a toy (lowkey hard for me to admit but i NEVA LIE GIRLS !!!!! 🙅🙅🙅) like can be such a fucking asshole about it too
BUT !!! when he is feeling generous he is soooo generous. EUGH like he will make sure u enjoy urself!!!! probably multiple times !!!!!!!!!!!!

ozzy...
going to tag some ozzy girlies...sorry if I missed you:
@noahsthottie @operationnope @cycat4077 @oliverslove @queen-of-boops @mendie91 @kunepie @earlyevenings @damagedsavefile @katsie
so ive had time to breathe from yesterdays disastrous update and I also replayed it again this morning and maybe it's bc I already knew what was going to happen or maybe playing it again made me realize a few new things but I'm actually not as mad w/ Ozzy as I was yesterday...
in my playthrough, Roberto was the one that pulled MC for a chat after the casa recoupling to talk about how ozzy was feeling during casa, his massive insecurities and that he was the one that wrote the note for MC. In my opinion this conversation basically lays out the foundation and road map for this weeks update.
We know that MC and Ozzy obviously had feelings for each other pre-casa, but they were never actually official. MC had MULTIPLE guys trailing after her around the villa and even if she felt the strongest connection to Ozzy - in his defense we never really told him this. Even the kiss goodbye was just that...a kiss goodbye. When we have the first chat with him he opens up and tells MC how much he missed her and how he felt when she was gone and when she says she missed him back. he's obviously happy but its almost like he's relieved and surprised she feels the same way. Being that they've never been coupled and never had a "this is it...you're the only one I want" chat his insecurities here are completely valid.
Then we hear about Ozzy making mad moves at casa. And at first I was PISSED especially bc in my mind that kiss goodbye was me telling him I wanted him. But then I started to think about how this is so completely out of character for Ozzy. This man doesnt do one night stands, he's held out on kissing MC until he had properly sorted his feelings for her and Grace so for him to get to the point where he's in a pool skinny dipping with two strangers, he must've been feeling super low and super insecure. (call back to Roberto telling us he has way more insecurities than we know) He tells us multiple times that when he saw the postcard he thought that Grace and MC were both moving on and he had to make moves. but what got me around this second playthrough was his instant guilt in the moment after it happened. If Ozzy was really a player who went around skinny dipping and triple kissing girls, he wouldnt have been racked with guilt. He wouldve just brought back a Casa girl bc that wouldve been the easy way out. But he didnt do that. And sure do I wish he had been more upfront about it on our very first convo? Absolutely!! but then I do see his side about feeling so guilty about it, being insecure and ultimately being inexperienced in scenarios such as this...bc this is not in his character!
all in all I still do think theres a redemption arc for Ozzy somewhere here. and if you have followed me since s5 you know I wont give up that easy 💀

Realized its actually basically the same concept i had for the repo! s/i i never designed. So i could kill two birds with one stone
Still not saying im officially doing it but IF i made a dc s/i theyd be an absolute greaseball. Like the exact sort of person you'd think of that spends all their time playing for shitty bands in abandoned warehouses. Short, fat, autistic as all fuck, hasnt slept in days and they pulled not one not two but THREE bad bitches. They stole batman's girl from him.

hi hi, can you do more dating Harry Osborn headcanons for tasm 2 Harry?
,, love me "
harryosborn x reader
Tumblr media
a.n : sorry for being very inactive, i got some requests and m working on it.
warnings :
**lowercase intended**
Tumblr media
meeting you has to be one of the greatest gifts hed ever received
younger him would pray for the most beautiful girl to be in love with him, to find him someone like him
" oh god, if youre there please hear me out. mom told me about soulmates and its like this pair being meant to be together and i want to find mine. i want her to be pretty and be like me so that we have alot of similarities. “ harry prayed hard and hoped to find someone that was meant to be his. after a few years, harry prayed again. “ so i learnt that we cant choose who our soulmates the way we want them and should just accept them with open hearts, so id want to find my soulmate before anything bad happens to me or her…or him? i dont know. god, please open both of our hearts when we cross paths. “ 
harry believed in the read string myth which originated in japan. harrys mother would constantly tell him about finding soulmates and it intrigued harry. despite seeing and hearing his parents fight and quarrel day and night, harry was determined to find love which can reverse a curse which he didnt want to run in the family. 
when harry first met you, he found you annoying, someone who was tad bit cheery for his liking. over time hed grow fond of you. which ended up in you dating him.
id like to think that you have a part time job as a barista at a cafe down the block. harry would often often visit you and have a drink, while watching you work. 
hed love to drop his things and just look at you. he is often afraid that the day when he has to leave, he wouldnt be able to fully look at you, so hed spend most of his time looking at you. if not, spending time with you. 
harry enjoys having you hold him, or vice versa. he needs to have some contact with you.
he is very understanding, and doesnt like to create fights because he didnt want you to suffer the way his mother suffered. 
despite harry knowing that youd like to be your own independent person in terms of money, hed most likely slip an extra hundred or so in your wallet, in hopes that its enough.
harry wont force you to do what he wants you to, he knows youre a very independent person. if you want to work, that salary is only to be used for your needs and wants. this doesnt mean that he wont shower you with money, which is very often.
harry knows you like korean and spicy food. hed start to learn how to have a higher spice tolerance, but wouldnt mind to spend extra to order takeout from different restaurants. 
saying that hed treat you like a queen is an understatement. harry would give you all the love that you deserve, would worship every part and inch of your body.
if youd say that youll “ never know how love feels like “ hed make it his own mission to shower with immense amount of love. this can be vice versa.
hed be open to helping you order or ask if you were too scared. but hed be very very proud of you even if you took a small step out of your comfort zone. 
correct me if im wrong but harrys the type to pul your chair closer to his because he feels the need to protect you and be near you 24/7
hes secretly vv possessive
when he saw he'll always be with you and watching you, he actually means it. he has eyes and would constantly have them to report back to him
talking to a guy? harrys jealous. make any physical contact? harrys burning with fury. catches you or the guy you are talking to make eye contact? he would want to stomp right in your conversation. 
being possessive doesnt mean hes insecure in his books. he just hate the thought of someone having you in their heart.

going to pointlessly ramble about the grammys just cause im annoyed and bored at work:
in no way is anti hero a song worthy of an award as stupid as the institution giving it might be. did a lot for fandom edits but stop giving that woman grammys just cause shes popular oh my god. that album sucked
ill keep these next two complaints separate. guts was fine but not good enough for album of the year are we kidding. i knew it was gonna happen and got preemptively a little bit mad. sorry olivia and her fans i love u girl but stop giving teenagers grammys it's really going to their heads. im tired. nowhere to be seen: the rise and fall of a midwest princess or javelin. ok. guts was better than harrys house as an album nominee by a decent amount... but not enough. come on.
boygenius being on there but not muna or chappell or paramore. once again. boring. sorry i still havent listened to the whole record but it's so obvious theyre getting up there because they had a lot of popularity skyrocketing this year and theyre the whitest/most vague and performative about their queerness. i am not saying the artists themselves and the way they behave is performative btw im just saying like. chappell has local drag queens at every tour date. muna brings out a variety of artists for their openers and brought a trans choir to one of their days at. wait was that in la. well regardless it was recent. im just saying they dont engage with the broader queer community as much like hurrah yay tits out but. be serious. they are not the best performers or lyricists.
i guess kill bill is fine as song of the year but the rest of these... why isnt speed drive on there if we're including barbie songs.
best new artist. im appalled chappell isnt there but whatever. as fine as his music seems im sick of hearing about this noah guy.
BEST POP DUO/GROUP PERFORMANCE. AND YOU PUT KARMA BY TAYLOR AND ICE SPICE. PLEASE BE SERIOUS. THAT WAS SO FORGETTABLE AND STUPID AND AWFUL. OH MY GOD WE'RE IN HELL SORRY TO BE DRAMATIC. FUCK OFF AND DIE I AM SO SICK OF SEEING THAT WOMANS NAME (sorry ice spice). WHY THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS ONE THAT GOT AWAY NOT THERE (well apologies if it only counts feature songs usually...... whatever.)
the fact that fast car luke combs is on there. WHAT EXACTLY DID HE DO. HE TOOK A LESBIAN'S SONG AND SANG IT LIKE. OK. HE DID NOT WRITE THAT SHIT. IT'S NOT THAT GOOD OF A COVER. KYS!!!!
yeah whatever naturally charli wouldnt show up for best soundtrack on bottoms. and maybe it wasnt like THE best score ever but it was so much fun.
fast car is on here twice. im clenching my fists.
at least rush is on here i guess... why no other troye noms even.
best pop vocal album and u have olivia and taylor there. this is how u can tell pop music rn is in the shits. sorry. neither of them have bad voices theyre just singers not vocalists. not to be pretentious but if the whole category is about vocals.
i wont hate on them for this but olivia and boygenius are the only women you could come up with for the rock category. what about nova twins. ig their genre is weird but neither of them wholly fit it either. ok also their album is from 2022. whatever
best music video and they have rush but not got me started or whatever or one of your girls.... right. omg caroline rose is on here (not mv) i liked her one song
k well then theres a lot of others sorry to neglect but whatever. in conclusion. im sick. and tired.

The Dragon Prince: Battle Banter
Revisiting an idea I had were TDP is a fighting game with NetherRealm style prefight dialogue, after playing MK1. Now includes season 4 and 5 characters.
----
Aaravos: Poor little prince, lost in the past.
Karim: Our sun will shine glorious once again.
Aaravos: Tomorrow never comes, what makes you think yesterday's gone are any exception.
Aaravos: I'm a master of subtle manipulation.
Callum: Taking over my body wasn't subtle.
Aaravos: Yet, here you are, right where I want you to be.
Aaravos: I know what you're going to ask me.
Viren: How I'm I still here?
Aaravos: I'm curious about that myself...
----
Finnegrin: Only one way you could've gotten out of those chains, lad.
Callum: You set up your own downfall, Finnegrin.
Finnegrin: This time, I won't bother with the chains.
Nyx: Seriously, Villads the one you want to see about getting the Sea Legs back, not me.
Finnegrin: Nice try, Commadore.
Nyx: Feathers! Should've known that would come back to bite me.
Finnegrin: The Bloodmoon Huntress, and the Pirate Lord.
Kim'Dael: Ours will be a Deadly Partnership.
Finnegrin: Xadia, won't know what hit them.
Finnegrin: You cost me my ship and me crew, girl.
Rayla: Oh no. The poor wee pirate is going to have to do his own dirty work from now on.
Finnegrin: How about I start with you then.
Finnegrin: You can't seriously think your leader material.
Karim: I have a whole army of Sunfire Elves ready to follow me!
Finnegrin: They follow your girlfriend man! Your're just the figurhead.
----
Kim'Dael: I remember you...
Rayla: Except I'm not a weak little girl anymore.
Kim'Dael: Aren't you?
Kim'Dael: What does Startouched blood taste like, I wonder?
Aaravos: Sorry, but my blood is far, far, beyond your reach.
Kim'Dael: Ah, but your vessel very much is so.
Kim'dael: Another toy soldier for me to break.
Corvus: You'll find I'm not so easily broken.
Kim'dael: My dear, your not the first to tell me that, nor will you be the last.
----
Terry: So, um, we haven't been properly introduced.
Soren: Yeah, kinda hard to do when you wrap someone in leaves.
Terry: Vines actually, not-the-point, my name's Terrestrius, but you can call me Terry.
Terry: Claudia did some messed up things, but she was still so...
Callum: Brilliant, fun, and sweet. Yeah, I've been there too, Terry.
Terry: You really have, haven't you...
Terry: I'm sorry about what Claudia almost did to you.
Ezran: Why did you follow her for so long?
Terry: She was the first to truly accepted me for who I am. I guess that made it harder to see what was happening to her.
----
Karim: We had a deal, Huntress!
Kim'Dael: One you had no means of actually fulfilling.
Karim: I would have, had you not abandoned me!
Janai: Do you even realise what you are doing?
Karim: I am saving our people from your folly, sister.
Janai: You're forfeiting our future to prop up an already lost past!
Amaya: [You broke Janai's heart!]
Karim: Better a broken hearted sister then a prideless people.
Amaya: [Pride is the cause of ruin not it's solution, and it's not more important than family!]
Soren: So you finally proposed to the General, huh? Congratulations!
Janai: I have a vacancy for a Brideshand, if you're available?
Soren: Sure, but what happened to your first- oooh...That spot was for your brother wasn't it?
Amaya: [Shouldn't you still be in the medical tent?]
Corvus: I'm all fixed up. Urgh, honest General.
Amaya: [Really? Then you wont mind a little sparring match.]
Callum: I know I'm taking a risk but, you're not my Queen, so... technically I don't have to do what you say.
Janai: Then I invoke my authority you as your future aunt instead.
Callum: Aww. But still, no can do.
Guest Fighter
Minsc: Many pardons, my furry friend and I are quite lost.
Amaya: [Uh, who are you? Some kind of adventurer?]
Minsc: We are Minsc and Boo! Protectors of the weak, slayers of Bhaalspawn, and sharp thorn in the boot of evil!
Minsc: (squeaks) Boo says he is not speaking with your luminous toad anymore.
Ezran: I'm sure Bait didn't mean what he said.
Minsc: (squeaks) Boo is sceptical, and so is Minsc.
Minsc: Your buttocks is long overdue for a virtuous kicking, fiend.
Kim'Dael: That... is a new one. What manner of madman are you?
Minsc: The Rashemaaran kind!
Minsc: You did well to escape the clutches of your evil father, Soren. You are in good company.
Soren: Thanks. Still... I wish I could've gotten Claudia away too.
Minsc: In Minsc's experience, for evey noble Gorion's Ward, there is usually a vile Sarevok as well.
Minsc: Your mischievous murmurs will have no affect on Minsc, villain. Boo and I will protect this world from you.
Aaravos: Like you "protected" your dear Dynaheir?
Minsc: Go for the eyes, Boo!
Minsc: Minsc and Boo, are here to help you.
Callum: Hey, nice rhyme.
Minsc: Rhyme?
Finnegrin: Why in blazes are you after me barnacle brain? I don't even know you.
Minsc: Wherever there is evil butt to kick, Minsc and Boo stand ready with their finest boots of justice!
Finnegrin: You are without doubt the most absurd man I've ever met.
----
Here's my first go.
And my attempt at including visuals, with art provided by a very generous guy.

my fair lady: chapter four
i recommend reading the previous chapters first but hey, i'm not in charge of you. shout-out to @romeoandjulietyouwish as always!
When he comes to her that night, there's tension in the air, electric but cold, like the last thunderstorm before winter. It takes him longer than usual; she waits at least half an hour before her ears catch the faint scratching at the hidden door. When she swings it open, her grin fades quickly. "Vax?"
Instead of the usual easy, warm smile, the face waiting for her in the tunnel is drawn and expressionless, as if it were carved from the very stone wall it passes through. Vax doesn't come to her, his hands finding her face, her waist, the small of her back like they are wont to do. Instead he moves in toward her large, ornate, crackling fireplace, where he stares into the flames instead of her eyes. "Your Highness, I need to speak to you."
Still standing beside the open door, Keyleth feels her eyes immediately prickle with threatening tears. Her heartbeat races, a deafening roar in her ears. "What happened? My father, is he...?"
That, at least, makes his head snap up to face her. "What? No, no, I'm sorry, the sovereign is fine."
Keyleth lets out a shaky sigh of relief, pressing the door closed. "Gods, you scared me. What’s so serious, then?"
She watches him finger the hilt of one of his daggers, a nervous habit she rarely witnesses in someone so stalwart. "Key—Your Highness, we...our affair needs to end. Tonight."
There's a ringing in her ears now, and she searches his face for something, any kind of clue that this is the cruelest joke anyone has ever told. Her whole body trembles. "I don't—I don't understand."
He's looking directly at her, intense and steady, and now she wishes he weren't. "You aren't a girl anymore, Your Highness. You are a woman, and one on the precipice of extraordinary things. You have led your people valiantly and wisely these past weeks, and you have earned your spot at your father's side, a sovereign in the making." There's tears in his eyes now, reflecting the dancing firelight. "A sovereign does not sneak around with a man of the shadows."
It's as though the wind has been knocked from her, as though she is being battered about by waves in a storm and she no longer knows which way is air. "I can't—what is making you say this?" Horrible realization creeps up her spine. "Did someone find out about us?"
His eyes once again fall away, and the horror grips her throat. "Believe me when I say our secret is safe, but only so long as I do the responsible thing here tonight and end what I never should have begun in the first place."
"No." Keyleth quickly crosses her chamber and snatches his hands up in hers. "No, I don't accept this. If someone is threatening you, threatening us—"
"Keyleth, no." He takes her face in his hands, and despite the gut-punch that is this conversation, the familiar gesture calms her racing heart, just a bit. "That's not what this is. This is me fixing what I broke."
"The only thing broken here is my heart," she pleads, gripping his arms. "Don't you understand? The only way I could lead my people so valiantly and wisely was through you. Knowing that I had you in my corner, that I could come back to these chambers at night and just be a girl in love with a boy and not some...some queen-to-be. You are my strength."
She watches pain flash across his face. "If you believe that then the damage I've done is worse than I thought. Your strength is in you, Keyleth, it always has been. Maybe my absence will allow you to see what I've seen from the moment I laid eyes on you."
Something desperate and hot claws at her chest. She has to make him understand, make him see how wrong he is. "That night, the first night you came to me, do you remember?"
He blinks, surprised. "Of course I do."
"That day I'd been with my father when the report came in of the Draconian attack on Pyrah. We were told of the casualties, of the friends and allies we lost, of the damage done to one of our most beloved cities. And that night, here, in this room, I had a nightmare unlike any I'd experienced before. I saw everyone I cared about strewn throughout the streets of Pyrah, some burnt to a crisp, others still aflame, and as I ran from person to person—my father, Percy, Pike, Lady Allura, Master Gilmore, you—I could feel the weight of all of my failures crushing me. I was drowning in them.
"And I awoke with a scream, and you were there." Tears stream down her face. "You held me when I thought my world was falling apart. And never in my life have I felt so safe. I went back to sleep only because I knew you were with me. And the same was true the next night, and the next, and the next. My fears went away because I saw in you what it meant to be strong. And I knew I could be strong like that, too."
Vax, too, is crying now, and a sprig of hope blooms in Keyleth's chest. He bends his head to press his lips to her forehead, before he murmurs, "I will not be the shackles that keep you from flying." With that, he drops his hands from her face and moves past her toward the secret exit. Before he leaves, he says over his shoulder, voice flat and toneless, "I will, of course, continue my charge of protecting you from any and all harm, if you see fit for me to do so. I remain ever as dedicated to your well-being, Your Highness." Then he is gone, and Keyleth is collapsed in front of the fire, the sobs coming fast and silent.
.
The trip from Zephrah to Syngorn takes about four days, and Vax spends each day of it on horseback, riding in pace with the royal carriage, which is painted in each of the colors of the four major cities of the Ashari Nation. He is grateful that his role on such a journey is to keep watch on the road, because if his place had been instead inside the carriage with Keyleth, he would imagine his resolve would have weakened before Syngorn was in sight.
Because he regrets his words, of course he does. He regrets so many things, first and foremost being his decision to go into her chambers that first night. When she screamed, his heart leapt at the thought of some intruder escaping his notice, and he burst inside, daggers drawn. When all he saw was her, gasping for air and wild-eyed, his feet carried him to her bedside. Against every better judgement and code of honor, he pulled her in close, murmuring softly to her until her breathing returned to normal and she no longer seemed panicked and afraid. This was not the night he fell in love with her—by then his heart had been hers for months—but holding her there in the dark was the first time he allowed himself to imagine a different world, one in which she was not a princess and he was not her guard, one in which holding her every night was not an illicit fantasy but a given, a fact of nature.
So he rides in silence, eyes on the road ahead and ears listening in for anything approaching from behind. The first day, he overhears snippets of conversation between the princess and her traveling companion, Lord Percival, over the chorus of hooves and the creak of the carriage. He hears his gentle attempts at prying information from her, trying to determine the source of her thousand-yard stare. She won't tell him, of course, because she doesn't know that he already knows, and Vax grits his teeth and resists the urge to punch Percival in the mouth. How dare he act like he doesn't know why she's miserable, like he didn't ask for this.
That night, when they stop to camp, the phalanx of guards creates a perimeter around the field where the princess and the Master of Development's tents have been erected, Vax feels Percival's eyes boring holes into the back of his skull, waiting for him to make a mistake. He doesn't. He unfurls his bedroll on one side of the princess's tent, with Grog sleeping on the other. And just as he begins to fall asleep, he hears from the other side of the canvas walls the familiar, horrible sounds of his love weeping.
By the next day, Percival has figured it out. His behavior toward Vax turns more sheepish, though not apologetic, as Vax knows he believes he did the right thing. Maybe he did. Still, as they progress toward Syngorn and the signing of a peace treaty, the princess is a shell of her former self. She barely speaks to Percival, and when she does converse with the guards, her tone lacks its usual warm magnanimity. After their break for lunch, Percival decides to walk alongside the entourage for a bit, to stretch his legs, he claims. As he paces alongside Vax, he mutters, "I see you've done the right thing."
Vax stares straight ahead. "Yes, Lord Percival."
"She'll heal from this. As will you." He tosses a nervous look toward the carriage. "Though I have to say...I didn't expect her to be so..."
"Heartbroken?"
"Devastated." He looks back up at Vax. "It's as if you died."
"Maybe it would be better if I had." He gives his trusted mount, Simon, a nudge, and the horse trots forward a bit, leaving Percival behind.
It's a few hours later when the smallest sound catches Vax's sharp ears. It's a crack, from just inside the tree line, louder and more intent than some sound made by a squirrel. His head whips to the side just in time to see the volley of arrows raining down upon the travelers.
"ATTACK!" he shouts, leaping off of Simon and pulling two daggers from his belt. Other cries ring up from the guards, who tighten in a circle around the carriage. Their mission is to take down the attackers, but Vax's single-minded goal is to get Keyleth to safety. He wrenches open the door to the carriage, where he see Percival standing over Keyleth, his hand-built pistol drawn and aimed at Vax's head. Their eyes meet, and after a beat, Percival lowers his weapon.
"Get her out of here," he orders, before he shoves open the opposite door of the carriage and heads out into the fray.
"Percy, no!" Keyleth shouts after him, but before she can attempt to follow, Vax has tugged her by the arm out of the carriage. The echoing booms of Percy's pistol have joined the cacophony of steel against steel and whistling arrows and shrieking horses, and Vax uses the chaos to toss Keyleth atop Simon, launching himself astride the horse just after her. He holds himself low, keeping his body between hers and any would-be assault, and urges Simon forward. The stallion begins to charge forward, galloping away from the conflict. Vax has one hand on the reins and one on Keyleth's waist; he clutches her close to keep her from sliding off of the speeding animal.
He hears her gasp before he feels it, the sharp, acute pain in his back, just below his left rib cage. It takes his brain time to catch up to the reality that he can read in the horror on Keyleth's face: he's just been shot with an arrow. It doesn't matter, he can't stop to think about it—he merely pushes Simon harder, spurring him to gallop even faster. Within a minute, the sound of battle has fallen behind, with only a few stray arrows finding their way close as Vax flees with the princess.
There's a small break in the trees, and Vax uses it to duck away from the road, out of sight. They slow to a canter, as Vax's vision is starting to darken a bit at the edges. He knows he needs to get Keyleth safe before he loses consciousness and leaves her even more vulnerable than she was before.
"Vax." He blinks and looks down at her. She is disheveled, her skin waxen with worry, and she's staring at him with pleading eyes. "Please, let's stop, you're hurt."
"Not safe," he grits out. He looks back up to the forest. "Need cover."
"Vax'ildan, stop!"
And because he is so bad at denying her anything, he does, pulling on the reins until Simon comes to a halt. Keyleth slips down to the forest floor with a huff before gently guiding Vax down off of the horse. His breath is coming fast and shallow now, and his vision has been reduced to little more than a pinprick.
"Oh gods," Keyleth breathes, pulling him into her lap. Her hands flutter to the shaft sticking out of his back. "This isn't good. You need a healer."
The words make little sense to Vax, who dances on the edge of darkness. Smiling, he reaches up to brush the wild hair from Keyleth's face. "So beautiful," he murmurs. His eyes slide shut. "You're so beautiful, Kiki."
And then the darkness takes him.

JADESPRITE: you want me to fight him???
JADE: um

JADE: i just thought
JADE: as long as youre here
JADESPRITE: i cant fight anybody!
JADESPRITE: jade i am scared and confused and sad and...
JADESPRITE: i wouldnt even know how to begin fighting that horrible guy
JADESPRITE: i would be too afraid of him to even go find him
JADE: but

JADESPRITE: BOO HOO HOO HOO

JADE: wow
JADE: jade...
JADE: i dont mean to be insensitive but
JADE: there is a lot at stake here!
JADESPRITE: woof
JADE: i... pfhehe, dont change the subject!
JADE: i mean, dont you remember what this was all about?
JADE: what you were working for... what WE were working for all those years before you died?
JADE: remember what we saw in the clouds, or what the queen told us?
JADESPRITE: uh...
JADE: how could you not remember john survived?
JADE: we both saw him in a cloud! he was in his dream suit and awake, reading our letter!
JADE: didnt you think about that?
JADESPRITE: ummmm, so? what does it matter?
JADE: ...
JADESPRITE: it was all a lie jade. what we saw in the clouds and all that. none of it meant anything
JADE: what!!!!!
JADE: how can you SAY that?
JADESPRITE: it was a nice life, but everything we did lead to nothing
JADESPRITE: john and i both died, and i eventually accepted that and moved on
JADE: JOHN DIDNT DIE!!!
JADE: omg...
JADE: this is so frustrating, i just told you he didnt
JADE: i knew i was kind of ditzy and forgetful in my dreams, but
JADESPRITE: boooo ho-
JADE: SHHHHH! okaaaaaay, jeez!
JADE: i just dont know what to think
JADE: i guess you are part of me, and you are who i was when i slept
JADE: but it makes me sad to think i would act like this
JADESPRITE: act like what?
JADE: i would like to think that even if i was sad and scared, if i was put in a position where everyone depended on me, i could put all those feelings aside and do whats right!
JADESPRITE: but i dont know whats right
JADE: yes you do!
JADE: even though you dont want to be, youre here now, and there are still people who need you
JADE: there is still something worth fighting for!
JADESPRITE: no!!!
JADESPRITE: not for me there isnt
JADESPRITE: there is nothing but death and sadness and destruction here
JADESPRITE: theres no hope, and i dont see anything worth fighting for
JADE: that is a horrible thing to say!
JADESPRITE: i dont belong here anyway
JADESPRITE: really none of this is my business anymore and i want to go home
JADE: AUGH!
JADE: that is SO SELFISH!!!
JADE: i cant believe this
JADE: how can you say these things, dont you remember anything that the queen told us?
JADE: that we would eventually build a new world and make a future together with our friends?
JADE: dont you remember being excited about finding out what that meant?
JADESPRITE: yes
JADESPRITE: but it was just a story
JADESPRITE: it was never going to come true
JADE: yes it will!!!
JADE: some of us, the ones who still have hope, are fighting for that RIGHT NOW
JADE: how can you have such a negative outlook on absolutely everything?
JADESPRITE: boo hoo ho-
JADE: shut up!!!!!!
JADE: stop being such a damn crybaby!
JADE: really, we both had the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCES. and look, i am managing to keep my head up, see?
JADE: you dont even have the full picture either, because you checked out early!
JADE: you didnt have to stand by as bec gave jack his powers when you might have been able to stop that
JADE: and you didnt have to watch as jack became so strong he could appear anywhere and kill anyone you loved at any moment!
JADE: you didnt have to see a dave lying in his own blood :(
JADESPRITE: what...
JADESPRITE: dave?
JADESPRITE: he died too?
JADE: no, see...
JADESPRITE: ohhhh boo-
JADE: HEY! no. youre not allowed to cry about that because you DIDNT SEE IT
JADE: thats the whole point!!!
JADE: you are just looking for any excuse you can to be sad and useless and its starting to piss me off!
JADESPRITE: *sniffle*
JADE: no
JADESPRITE: *whimper*
JADE: NO. BAD.
JADESPRITE: aaaaaaaBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO
