A Spark of Divinity

[Knight Colossus!AU]

Note: Though not specified implicitly in this nor “The Colossus’ Cricket,” the new canon for the Knight Colossus!AU has the Giants as Shifters. For the purposes of this one-shot, Freyja is ~10ft tall

Word Count: 1057

CW: light blood, injury

The stars glistened above and the wind whistled reverently through dead autumn leaves as Lady Freyja the Knight Colossus, bloodied and battered, staggered towards the nearest boulder. She drove her claymore through the wet soil before sitting heavily upon the rock with an exhausted groan. The weight of just standing was alleviated for a brief moment. 

“Glad that’s over with…” she murmured. Her thighs screamed in protest as she tried to readjust her seating.

The ambush had been sudden, and Lady Freyja hadn’t had time to assume a more titanic stature. Between a cadre of clockwork assassins and a Wereboar wielding a gibbering blade of calcified old magic, she was certain that a less experienced knight would’ve easily succumbed to their forces; however, Freyja had fought against far worse odds and the bandits were driven back or destroyed. The caravan was safe, that’s what mattered.

After a moment of catching her breath to cool her lungs, Lady Freyja raised a gloved hand to inspect the gash upon her cheek. She winced at the touch, the wound was still raw. The Wereboar had caught her with his tusk when he came crashing through the treeline–she was just lucky he didn’t get her in the eye. 

The isolated reprieve was cut by the sound of anxious running as Alice bolted across the starlit meadow towards her. Even from this distance, she could hear his labored breathing. She spied glistening tears running down his face as he closed the distance

Hoping to fill him with a degree of reassurance, she weakly raised a hand and forced a tired smile.

“Well now…that was fun, wasn’t it…?” Lady Freyja mused. “Never seen a man argue with his sword before…blighter sure did have sharp tusks though…”

Alice didn’t look amused. He was hyper focused. He threw his gnarled crook down in the grass before clambering up into her lap and kneeling upon her thighs. 

“Are you bleeding anywhere else?” Alice asked breathlessly, his eyes flickering between her open wound and his satchel as he rummaged around for reagents. He was clearly taking charge in this situation, and Lady Freyja had to admit she felt some heat in her cheeks at seeing him so driven to make sure she was okay.

“N-No,” Freyja admitted as she blinked with surprise. “Bruised and banged up, sure…but just bleeding on the cheek.”

Despite the bravado, Alice still quietly cried fresh tears as he fished out some herbs and glowing pink dust. He worked them around in his palms before they dissolved and sunk into the flesh. He flexed his fingers as he reached out, his hand floating just above the gash.

“This will hurt a bit,” Alice warned softly. At that, Lady Freyja smiled and reached a hand up–her fingers gingerly curling around Alice’s forearm. 

“You could never hurt me, my little love,” Lady Freyja rumbled confidently. She guided him the rest of the way till his palm gently rested over the wound–his fingers curling to the fit curvature of her cheek. The contact stung, but it was accompanied by a delighted shiver from the Knight Colossus as she reveled at his touch. “I trust you.”

Alice swallowed, then nodded. He closed his eyes as he rested his forehead against hers.

She heard him whisper things she couldn’t understand. Words and names that made her skin crawl and her spine tingle. And though she could not understand the words, she understood the meaning:

It was a petition.

Lady Freyja couldn’t tell if it was her imagination, or if the night was just getting…brighter. And though the night chill nipped at her skin, Alice’s hand felt like a soothing fire upon her cheek. She felt her heart race a little bit more at what she could only describe to be a moment of intimate communion.

She inhaled slowly as she felt a pain working from the bottom of the cut  that slowly crept its way up. Eventually the pain was replaced with a soothing warmth…and when that warmth faded Alice reopened his eyes. He carefully pulled his hand away from her cheek and visibly relaxed. Steely determination melted to pure relief as his lips quivered into a smile.  

“Oh thank the gods,” Alice exhaled before putting both of his hands on her face now and just started kissing her repetitively. “Y-You’re okay…you’re okay…

“I was so worried…” Alice admitted through tears that wet her skin. “I-I-I didn’t know if that would work, I-I wasn’t sure. I had never tried that spell before, I wasn’t sure if I could be able to pull something like that off-”

Lady Freyja’s other hand went up to take up his other forearm. Alice pulled back with surprise.

“You beautiful, beautiful man,” the Knight Colossus crooned. “May I see your hand?”

Alice blushed and nodded. Lady Freyja took his clean hand and rested hers beneath it. The whole hand was perhaps only the length of her middle finger, yet she marveled at it. His hands, small as they were, had written hundreds of thousands of words both to document creatures near and far and to write passionate poetry to smite her Giant’s heart. This hand had turned stone to silver, and had stitched back together grievous wounds with only the faintest murmur of a prayer.

Her angel had a spark of the divine within him, whether he saw that or not.

She brought his hand up and deeply kissed the entire palm. It was so soft. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She smelt graphite, lavender, and pine needles. She just…melted.

She let go of both his hands and gingerly wrapped both arms around his chest. She brought up a hand to cup the back of his head before leaning in to bury her face against his chest. She could feel his heart racing, she could feel the weight of his breathing. She felt his delicate arms wrapping themselves around her neck. 

“Thank you for helping me heal, my brilliant lodestar…” the Knight Colossus rumbled against his heart. Alice bore no reply, though Freyja could feel drops of tears on her scalp as he gently cried above him. He held her a little bit tighter as the two quietly listened to the song of the breeze and held their embrace under the light of the heavens for just a moment longer.

im an hour late but hi ive given this advice so many times while being haru-noir and now ur getting it: please drink some decaffeinated tea (most black teas and green teas afaik have caffeine so look out for that. i think some herbal teas are good tho. i like to add a little sweetener personally if its too bitter) or take a throat lozenge for the sore throat. also (if this reaches u before u go to sleep) please go to sleep !!

anyways i hope u have a nice day (^o^)/ apologies for the pushiness; i had a sore throat last week and these are how i helped myself (i want to minimize suffering)

AKHKSHKJW OMG YES PLEASE SLEEP (PST GANG???) ahhhhh ive been slacking so hard on comms adn i set deadline for myself tmrw and immissing it its so over. THANK YO SO MUCH i ran out of tea apparently... maybe i should get some more?!?!?!? i usually drink greentea+honey+lemon heh... but i havent gotten sick in a while so i guess im out O_O thankyou so much thoughhh ehehhehe this sore throat is like not bad so def manageable IVE BEEN EATING COUGHRDROPS ALL DAY...MMMM.SOGOOD

Love how Scaramouche says he likes bitter things and then he plays himself by falling for the sweetest person ever such as myself haha *shoot*

LOL exactly!!! He’s just naturally drawn to sweet people. It’s a good balance from all of the struggles he’s endured throughout his life. Even if he claims that bitterness is his favorite flavor, he will cling to the sweetness that is his dear darling (aka you hehe >:D) and he won’t let go.

If you point this out, he’ll just look at you like

Scaramouche’s most recent betrayal: a truth that isn’t dyed in sweetness for once, so he’s really forced to stomach it. Wear him down enough and maybe then he’ll admit he likes you best when you’re sweet. Knowing him, he’ll most likely argue that point into the grave.

The two women relax and talk, listen to Phoebe Snow records and drink tea. Jessica finds herself opening up to the vivacious Lindsay, being drawn out of the gloom that has been her only companion these past weeks.

[icedmetaltea]

Ever since security breach came out and I found the sun and moon fandom I’ve been having the wildest dreams. Like just yesterday I had one where Sun just ominously said “I know where you live” while peeking his head over the security desk in the daycare. We just stared at each other after that and that was it. That was the entire dream lol. And just now I woke up from a nap and this time sun and moon were T-rexs and they were fighting Godzilla who had four arms

????? WHAT
