MLP Headcanon Dump

Just realized that I never bothered to post this on here. Heads up, this is a VERY long post.

Svengallop's parents are Charity Kindheart and Bracer Britches. The two had a brief affair, but never officially dated and Sven was an accident. Charity loved her son, but passed away due to illness when he was a teenager, so Sven was sent to live with his father who never wanted him. This has a lot to do with Svengallop's attitude as an adult.

All pure blooded draconequui are able to become pregnant or impregnate a partner, regardless of gender.

Wind Rider is a womanizer and serial adulterer with several illegitimate children, including Helia, Lighting Dust and Cloudy Daze among others.

There are some ponies who eat meat, such as fish, pork and chicken (eating beef and venison would be considered immoral since bovines and deer in Equestria are sentient). It's not particularly common and is actually considered gross by the majority, not unlike humans who eat insects. Equestria also has plenty of vegan alternatives that exist in our world, such as tofu and artificial meat.

The comic arc "Siege of the Crystal Empire" was actually just a fanfic written by Mina the dragon.

Tree Hugger is a member of the Hooffield Family. She ran away from home as a teen because she was sick of the constant fighting with the McColts. After running away she ended up joining a hippie commune, which is how she became the mare she is today.

Ocellus is the daughter of Queen Chrysalis. She will be queen of Thorax's hive after he is gone.

It is a tradition in Equestria for nurses to add 'heart' to the end of their names once they graduate nursing school. For example, Nurse Redheart's birth name is Redlove and Nurse Sweetheart is Sweetcream. This is in honor of Nurse Cureheart, the nurse credited for curing Celestia's broken heart after Luna's banishment.

The baby brother Hoops mentions in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" is actually Spiral Notepad, who is now a trans filly.

Yaks speak Equestrian (aka English) so badly only because they have their own language and Equestrian is foreign to them.

The Kirin are thought to be the result of Asian unicorns interbreeding with dragons, but this has never been proven.

Derpy Hooves and Dinky Doo are mother and daughter, with Dinky having been born to Derpy when she was still in her teens. (I know it's an old headcanon, but I'll always have a soft spot for it.)

Quibble Pants is a natural blonde.

Derpy Hooves' real name is Ditzy Doo. "Derpy" was a childhood nickname that just kinda stuck.

Derpy has an eye condition called strabismus, hence the crooked eyes.

Crackle is a pseudodragon, a species of lizard that disguise themselves as dragons. Despite having twice as many limbs and gems growing out of them, they are accepted by dragons as one of their own.

Flash Sentry and Spearhead are brothers and are both descended from a pony that escaped the Crystal Empire during King Sombra's reign.

Sunset Shimmer and Sunburst are cousins.

Discord created Poison Joke.

Toe Tapper and Torch Song are the parents of Coco Pommel.

Hoity Toity is part mule, hence the long ears.

Celestia was born with an all-pink mane and tail and would have gained more shades of orange and yellow as she grew, but she instead gained hues of green and blue when she took over Luna's duty of raising the moon after Nightmare Moon's banishment.

Wind Sprint's original father died in a sports-related accident, which is why Clear Sky found comfort and common ground with Quibble Pants who was able to distract her from sports for a while. Unfortunately, as we all know from the episode, this had no effect on Wind Sprint's persistent love for sports.

Celestia was technically the first pony who managed to pull off a sonic rainboom, but it wasn't the same as Rainbow Dash's since she lacked the colors of a proper rainbow. Over time it was forgotten, but Celestia's "rainboom" was the basis of the sonic rainboom being a myth in the first place.

Pinkie Pie and Applejack's respective families are both descended from the children of Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie.

Orchard Blossom is an actual Apple family member that Big Mac was impersonating in "Brotherhooves Social".

Rainbow Blaze (the rainbow-maned stallion from "Games Ponies Play" who was confirmed is not Rainbow Dash's father) is Rainbow Dash's older brother.

The final alternate future seen in "The Cutie Remark-Part 2" where Equestria is nothing but an apocalyptic wasteland is a result of Daybreaker coming to life and burning everything to the ground into pure ash. It got so bad that it ultimately left Daybreaker with no kingdom to rule anymore. (As horrifying as it sounds, the dirt that Twilight and Starlight were standing on in that scene included the ashes of hundreds of dead ponies.)

Pear Butter and Bright Mac were killed by Timberwolves on a day trip. Sadly, Granny Smith considers herself responsible for this as she forgot to warn them about the Timberwolves that day. As a result, this is also why Applejack is so good at fighting them off.

Due to their godlike status, Celestia and Luna are the only immortal alicorns. Ordinary royalty like Twilight Sparkle, Cadance, and Flurry Heart have longer lifespans than normal ponies but can still die of old age.

Screwball is the daughter of Nurse Sweetheart and her eyes only become swirly when she's exposed to Poison Joke. The effect it has on her is that it makes her see weird stuff and she used to be addicted to it, but ended up quitting altogether as the last time she used it (around the time Discord returned) caused her to see some pretty nightmarish imagery.

The episode "Yakety Sax" was just a bad fever dream Pinkie Pie had after eating too much Yak cuisine one day.

All the changelings in Thorax's hive are siblings born from the same queen. Changelings do not interbreed with members of their own hive, though they may form family units with their siblings and adopt grubs to raise, hence the family of changelings Ocellus was seen with in "Hearths Warming Club".

Whoa Nelly's real name is Jelly Nelly Bean. Her large size is the result of a very rare pituitary disorder.

Fluttershy's human world counterpart is a vegan.

Aunt and Uncle Orange are both parental figures to Babs Seed. Whether they're her biological or adoptive parents in still unknown.

The hippocampus (aka the seaponies from the 2017 movie) once existed as a separate race, but are believed to have been driven to extinction because of the Sirens, who destroyed their homes, depleted their food sources, and even directly preyed on them. This was of course before Queen Novo fled into the sea and formed the seaponies we know from the 2017 movie.

Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood had Scootaloo later in life as they didn't really plan to have a foal, hence why they're such thoughtless parents.

Mane Allgood is actually a cousin of Daring Do.

Bulk Biceps is Featherweight's biological father. He was formerly married to an abusive, neglectful, and alcoholic wife, resulting in a divorce and Bulk and Featherweight moving to Ponyville and leaving her for good.

Cheese Sandwich is the younger brother of Marine Sandwich. The real reason he ran away from home and stumbled into Ponyville by chance is because he wanted to get away from his psychotic older sister. (Based off of this.)

Cheese Sandwich and Mudbriar are cousins.

Limestone Pie's talent is mixing drinks.

Burnt Oak is the father of the pony versions of Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy.

Rumble is a trans colt.

Granny Smith's real name is Maria Ann Smith, or "Annie Smith" for short.

Fluttershy is the oldest of the Man Six, while Pinkie Pie is the youngest.

Trixie's full name is actually Bellatrix Lulamoon. She prefers to go by Trixie as it's easier to remember.

Tempest Shadow didn't receive her cutie mark until she was an adult, AFTER the events of the MLP movie where she started using her horn to make fireworks.

The draconequus were once a race of creatures that went to war against ponykind after their prince (aka Discord) was turned to stone. The war resulted in many of them being wiped out and it's currently unknown if any besides Discord still exist today.

Kirin shed and regrow their horns once a year, similar to deer antlers. Shed kirin horns make a powerful ingredient in potions.

[nyanberri]

I've finally finished the first set! It's the same kids again tho, lol. But next time will be never before seen characters! So I wanted to get everyone drawn in the Omniverse style so I could visualize it all properly and it also made for a good opportunity to tweak designs as needed. They're all heavily referenced from official art so I could get it perfect and it made for great practice too! Of course I added some personal touches to the art style too cuz if I didn't it would have bothered me too much, lol.

Anyway, below the cut are finally proper profiles for all the kids and some additional info as well!

M'kay, so before we get started on the kids' bios, it's important to specify this is an alternate universe. And I don't mean it's an AU of the Prime Dimension. This is quite literally another universe within the omniverse. It's a mostly untouched one that even Paradox, Eon, and Maltruant have never been to and therefore a lot of things are different while a lot of things are still the same tho. It's unofficially called the Feniverse cuz Fen is the main character, but it does have a more official name. I'm just, uh… not aware of what that name is yet, lol!

Anyway, the Ben in this dimension branches off from the development of Prime Ben. Anybody remember the fact that the very first Ben 10K episode said Ben became the way he did in the future cuz he killed Vilgax by ripping him to pieces? Yep! That's what this Ben did too! But obviously he doesn't end up exactly like that Ben 10K. But so this dimension's Ben is therefore officially labelled Slayer Ben since some people refer to him as 'The Vilgax Slayer'. And that experience did definitely screw him up pretty bad, which is why he's so different from both Prime and 10K.

So from left to right:

Name: Fenrick Fih Rook-Tennyson

Age: 13

Height: 5'1

Voice: Todd Haberkorn

Bio: Fen is Ben and Rook's son. He has always been known for being quiet, surprisingly wise for his age, and quite the troublemaker. In actuality, only two of these things are true. Fen is more calm than he seems and as a young child he wasn't much of a talker, giving people the perception that he's quiet. Unfortunately, Fen also has many great ideas that end up badly. However, his ideas always come from the desire to help someone or solve a problem, but he always gets caught when his plans fall apart, making it look like he causes trouble. Some people even accuse him of trouble he didn't start, not helping his reputation. And as the son of Ben 10 of all people, he tends to be held to higher expectations. His wisdom never ceases to amaze people either. Even Ben and Rook get surprised at the wisdom he recites, wondering where exactly he learned it all. Due to that, he tends to put up a fight whenever himself or someone else gets wronged. He especially defends his friends and fellow alien kids in town. Although his only true friends seem to consist of his childhood friend, Millie, and his cousin, Sven.

At the age of 13, Fen discovered his ability to transform into a couple dozen of Ben's aliens. He quickly aspired to become a hero like his parents, much to Ben's disapproval, who worries about his safety. Despite that, Fen wants to form a hero trio with Sven and Millie and become the next generation of heroes in the galaxy.

Developer's Notes:

Fen's almost always been the same since I first created him, with just a few design and character tweaks done to him. He used to have a talent for jewelry making but that was switched out for him being wise for his age. He was also a bit more generic as far as the upbeat and reckless young male protagonist with famous parents archetype goes, but he's been adjusted enough that he now stands out from that archetype. Or, at least I hope, lol. Also, funny thing to note, Fenrick is not a real name! The closest name there is is Fenwick and iirc, that's a last name! I considered changing it to Fenwick or even Fenick but Fenrick is too special to me. His, uh, unfortunate name even has an impact in-universe with him being embarrassed by it and some using it to make fun of him. Also in-universe, I chalk it up to Ben having a dumb moment by misremembering the name Fenwick and Rook not knowing any better to catch Ben's mistake. Also, if you think his hair style is stupid, good. That's the point. He wanted it like that when he was seven and Ben and Rook were like 'sure' and it's been like that ever since.

Name: Millicent

Age: 13

Height: 5'0

Voice: Jennifer Paz

Bio: Millie is Ester's daughter. Her biological father is a human who decided he didn't want to be a father and Antonio soon stepped up to fill the father role when he and Ester got married. She has been friends with Fen and Sven since they were all babies. Millie is the level-headed one of the group and has been noted as being oddly emotionless. Her tone of voice is almost always flat and she usually keeps a straight face when not looking nervous. She never intends to be rude, but she will bluntly say whatever comes to her mind to her peers. At the same time, she can be nervous about making bold decisions and hates being a part of any decision making. She either refuses to do anything, or apologizes profusely for making a decision even when nothing bad happens.

Due to being more human than Kraaho, Millie is perfectly capable of handling the temperatures of Bellwood. However, she is still a bit sensitive to cold temperatures and needs to bundle up more than others during the winter. She sadly cannot handle the heat in the Hot Spot for very long either. Much to Millie's dismay, she was not born with the Kraaho's stretching ability. No one can figure out why, but it's simply something she can't do. As a result, she considers herself a normal human and has resigned herself to the fact that 'normal' is simply all she will ever be. Despite this, she has taken up quite a big secret that contradicts her decision and expresses who she wishes she really was.

Developer's Notes:

Millie only ever had one design change with her outfit and slight adjustment to the way her hair works and she's been the same ever since. Since the beginning she was always calm and stoic and I've always worried that she doesn't have much of a presence or purpose, but now I feel like she plays off Fen and Sven well enough that she stands out thanks to them. I've always flipped back and forth between Fen and/or Millie having a crush on each other, but I've finally settled on them both just seeing each other as near and dear loyal friends. It ultimately works out better that way and doesn't cause conflict with Millie's personal story or Fen's real love interest(and the one other character with feelings for him). Her name also used to be Mina, but since I've now taken that as one of my own names, it felt really awkward to keep her as that. I used to have a habit of naming characters with names I wanted before realizing I could change my name in the future, lol.

Name: Sven Elijah Levin

Age: 12

Height: 4'8

Voice: Wally Wingert

Bio: Sven is Gwendolyn and Kevin's son and Jenny's older brother. Sven is a rather unfortunate boy. He is constantly terrified of everything to the point of running millions of 'bad ends' through his head. He can barely talk most of the time without being a stuttering mess and always thinks he's going to be in trouble for anything and everything he does. Everyone is certain he either has severe anxiety or paranoia, or likely both. Perhaps even more. Who knows. Sven tends to cling to his cousin, Fen, who he looks to for guidance and advice, most of which isn't anything Sven should actually be following. Because he is a grade below Fen and Millie, he's often left alone to deal with problems in his own classes, or really just panic about them. He does, however, have a close relationship with Zed and likes to be the one to take her out on walks in the afternoon. And not many people know it, but he's actually a pretty decent artist.

Even though he is an Osmosian thanks to being Kevin's son, no one knows what ability he may have. It doesn't really matter though, since he wants to stay out of any potential trouble that having powers could bring him. Regardless of that, he has an interest in magic thanks to Gwendolyn's expertise in it. He even sneaks peeks at her spellbook and the strange bag she keeps in her office that he can hear a voice coming from at night.

Developer's Notes:

Now Sven is a character whose personality has always been pretty much the same while his design was never consistent until reaching his current one. He was originally very anime looking and in a gaudy orange outfit that I regret even thinking about, lol. He looks much better in neutral colors. I guess there's not much to say on him though, which makes me worry he's a tad unremarkable, but perhaps it's just since I'm leaving out the things about him that are better left discovering on your own… if I ever get to finishing that fic that is… ahaha.

Name: Saki Boulais

Age: 13

Height: 4'11

Voice: Stephanie Sheh

Bio: Julie and Hervé's daughter, one of the more popular girls in school, and the most deceptive in town. Saki has gone her whole life, since the first time she told a successful lie, tricking people into thinking she's a completely innocent little girl who's never done anything wrong. This allows her to get away with anything she wants, and she especially enjoys getting Fen in trouble when they butt heads with each other. The two have even been enemies since they first met at age three and Saki pulled Fen's tail, he pulled her hair in return, and she managed to get away with claiming he started it. Their feud has even turned into murderous intent, which Saki refuses to hide.

On a lighter note, Saki always has the company of her two best friends, Rachel and Diane, who will gladly join her in her tormenting of others. Saki even greatly admires the most popular girl in school, Fiona, and whoever the mysterious new hero girl, Miracle-M, is.

Developer's Notes:

Yes, Saki was always meant to be That Bitch in the cast. I feel like it's unrealistic to have all next gen kids be friends and get along with each other. It's perfectly believable to have some of them dislike, and in Saki and Fen's case, even hate each other. It makes it more interesting with them being Ben and Julie's kids respectively too. Adds good drama, lol. But anyway, really the only thing that's changed about Saki is her hairstyle and some other slight design tweaks like her necklace, shorts, and shoes. I also just recently changed her colors from purple and blue-ish purple to just blue so that isn't not all three girls here wearing purple. She also looks better in blue and it contrasts nicely with Julie's pink imo. I suppose I do worry about her being disliked since she's so antagonistic and with her being Julie's daughter, I really hope her character doesn't send the wrong message since I genuinely love Julie a lot. It really is just For The Drama Of It All. I think it's really fun to watch her go into full 'Murder Fen' mode too. Very fun to write, lol. Oh right, also Boulais is my headcanon last name for Herve. I just wanted her to have his last name but he doesn’t have one! So I had to pick one for myself.

Name: Jennifer Elizabeth Levin

Age: 10

Height: 4'6

Voice: Brina Palencia

Bio: Jenny is Gwendolyn and Kevin's daughter and Sven's younger sister. She is surprisingly serious and stoic for her age. She gets annoyed by her family's constant 'abnormal' status and wishes everyone could just act normal with no weird events happening. She throws herself into school work as a means to keep herself out of it and tries to keep her personal life at school with friends far away from her life involving family. She seems to have a quick temper, but really she just acts that way to get what she wants since she knows it works and in the hopes that she can use it as an opportunity to vent her frustrations. She hates getting involved in her brother and cousin Fen's antics, but sometimes her no nonsense attitude is needed to resolve a situation. She has a strange obsession with eating bread, finding it the perfect food and almost always exclusively eating something with bread involved. Gwendolyn definitely worries about her diet, but Kevin finds it harmless.

She may not have the spark like her mother, but she doesn't dare confess that her status as an Osmosian became very apparent just recently. As a result, she has a stash of broken objects stuffed under her bed and cracked floorboards that she covers with her rug.

Developer's Notes:

Jenny went through a decent redesign. Character wise I feel like I still don't have some things etched in stone for her as I still haven't gotten to the point in my writing where she does anything of interest. She could honestly probably end up pretty different from her bio here if I'm not careful, lol. The characters write themselves as they say after all! But I definitely prefer the newer Jenny compared to the previous way I envisioned her character, which was designed to fit a character type I actually hate just cuz I felt it worked for her. Thankfully I can avoid it tho with the big overhaul I did after returning to these characters. And I do like Jenny cuz I like writing her dialogue, but it still feels like her character is still that of a person I would not wanna be around, lol.

Name: Bevel Tennyson

Age: 20

Height: 5'9

Voice: Dee Bradley Baker/Yuri Lowenthal

Bio: Bevel is the youngest of the Big Chill offspring born twenty years ago. They were in an accident involving a passing spaceship on their way to Kylmyys that damaged their right wing to the point they could no longer fly. It's suspected the wing has severe nerve damage, making Bevel unable to unfold it as well. Their siblings helped them make it the rest of the way to Kylmyys, but over the years, the dangers of Kylmyys left the siblings with only Bevel and the eldest two, Emboss and Curve, remaining. As they got older, Bevel could never forget their only memory of their parent, who the others didn't remember. A desire to reunite with their parent caused Bevel to make the lone decision to explore the universe in search of their parent.

Bevel is a very cheerful and sweet person, but their secluded upbringing and lack of knowledge about Earth makes them very naive. They will believe anything they are told and have a very black and white moral view due to not understanding nuance. They have strange habits that appear unnatural in their attempt to act human and have an intense craving for Earth candy. They have also taken up being a mercenary to get by after leaving Kylmyys and once they join the Tennyson family, Rook suggests they use the skills they've picked up to become a Plumber, but that's an idea Ben isn't fully onboard with.

Developer's Notes:

Right off the bat I want to shout out that his old human design used to keep the Necrofriggian antennae. I still think it's a cute design even tho it wasn't canon compliant with the antennae. The only things that have changed about him too are just that, his hair style, and his shoes. Plus I stuck bunny ears on his hoodie recently as a shout out to those antennae he used to have. Otherwise he's always been the same. And I guess I haven't explained why he has a human form, but that's also an answer to discover later. I didn't draw his Necrofriggian form tho cuz we should all know what the UAF design looks like(and yes I am screwing with art style difference bullshit cuz OV Big Chill is not real and you cannot convince me otherwise). And I also just realized his pronouns aren't matching up in this section so I should add his official pronouns are he/they, but characters refer to him by he/him and narration uses they/them. He is still a Necrofriggian and therefore doesn't do the whole gender thing after all. Which is why he's fine with anyone viewing him as whatever they want to too. He just goes with it. That's also why he doesn't get what's weird about him calling Ben 'Mother' after he learned the word, lol.

[draconida]

Shance Fic Recs (Part three)

More Shance! With Kuro and Sven too. 

82- Mysteries Become Reality by FullmetalDude1 [M/M/M/M, Sven and Kuro]

The world is full of mythical creatures that are slowly but surely being integrated and accepted into society, but a couple of hate crimes and BS still happens.

Lance is a human in this world, doing his best to help Mythics out even if he's got a bad history.

Then he meets 4 super hot Mythics in collage and he is gone, but he'll never admit that.

At least, not until he's been held for ransom by a gang of haters.

83- i don't have too much but i know enough by quiddative

Lance shot a panicked look at Keith but the asshole just laid there uselessly. “Don’t look at me like that,” he snorted. “They’re your kids, after all.”

What?

“What?” Lance and Allura yelled.

Allura turned to Kolivan with narrowed eyes. “Explain,” she demanded.

Kolivan looked very much like he wanted a drink. “The two of them appear to be the Red and Black Paladins’ children from the future.”

(Or: Lance and Shiro's children appear from the future and emotions ensue.)

85- Remember Me by boredomsMuse

Back before Kerberos, Lance and Shiro had been close. Boyfriends, type close. Boyfriends who'd meet each other's parents, all of them, type close.

Except, none of the Paladins know that. Not even Shiro.

86- Starlight Starshine by stirlingphoenix

'He’s beautiful', was the only thought Shiro’s mind could process as he watched Lance in person for the very first time. Those two little words repeated themselves on a loop over and over, making sure he’d never forget this moment. He’d always thought Lance to be exceedingly attractive, but seeing him in real life, as opposed to the TV screen or a movie poster nearly blew his mind.

Shiro had every intention of getting out of there before he ended up doing something embarrassing. Nevermind the fact that Lance wouldn’t know who he was, he still wasn’t too keen on potentially making a fool of himself. But just before he could make a beeline for the exit, the sound of his proper last name echoed throughout the air, forcing him to stop dead in his tracks.

“Excuse me, Mr. Shirogane?” The nervousness that plagued his caller’s voice hit Shiro’s ears wrong, yet it was still oddly familiar to him, as if he’d heard that same tone over a hundred times before.

As it turned out, he had, just never like this. Turning around, he came face-to-face with the lead of the production, the one and only Lance McClain himself, standing before him with a curious, perhaps even anxious expression covering his face.

87- Hi by Nevermoree

"in a world where you have your soulmates’ first words tattooed in your skin, he, obviously, has… well, that."

88- Te prefiero a ti by Nevermoree [Explicit and only spanish]

Lance has been in love with Shiro since he can remember, so when he have the opportunity to spend the night with Shiro, he have decided not to waste it. It's supposed to be a one-night deal, but things do not always work out the way you plan.

89- How to get a hot, shape-shifting dragon-man to fall in love with you by charlotteXOyates [Explicit]

Discovering a new species is a dream every reptile expert can relate to, so Lance's excitement upon meeting Shiro, a man with scales and a dragon tail, is understandably through the roof. What's less understandable, however, is Lance's sudden desire to help the dragon-man with his rut…

90- Daycare, Toddlers, and a bit of Love by starryrosez

Lance falls in love with the father of a boy he looks after in daycare.

91- Claws by AshesTheTerrible [Explicit and omegaverse] Lance had clawed his way through the Galra military ranks. This was the most important day of his entire existence. He was being assigned to a commander. One of the most ruthless commanders in the Empire. He had to make a good impression.

It would be just his luck that he'd be stricken with the beginnings of a ruthless heat. He knew the suppressants made him sick, but he took them anyway. Anything was better than a fucking stupid heat. He couldn't very well look strong with his heat boring down on his shoulders.

But puking at the feet of your new commander doesn't exactly make you look like a model Galra either… hindsight Lance supposes. 92- Lance's Guide on How to Embarrass Yourself in Front of Your Insurance Adjuster by Eilera

“This is for my mama, Hunk. She was so worried about this whole thing. They just finished renovating. I’m not gonna let her down. If my name isn’t Lance fucking Hernandez Martine-holy fuck he’s gorgeous.”

“Oh no. No. Lance do-“

Lance didn’t even hear him because there was a fucking gorgeous god walking up the path to the front door.

(In which Lance is helping his mama with an insurance claim and he was not prepared for the smoking hot insurance adjuster.)

93- designated drivers anonymous by kalakauuas

"It’s halfway through his sixth attempt at a puppy-filter pic that the bathroom door whooshes open wider than Lance’s mouth trying to prompt the puppy tongue onto the screen. Right when Lance screeches in surprised terror, he takes the picture.

“I’m so sorry! I didn’t know it was occupied,” says the person who threw the door open, his hands rushing to cover his eyes quicker than Lance would run from his mom’s chancla.

The good thing is, aside from vaguely humiliating selfie poses, there’s nothing to see here."

Lance and Shiro meet through a shared hobby, if you consider hiding in bathrooms during house parties a hobby.

94- Tris for Guys by quiddative

“Um, my name is Lance McClain-Reyes and I have a personal training session,” Lance said, though it came out as more of a question than a statement.

The girl hummed and typed something on the computer. “Ah, right on time,” she said. “Looks like you’ve been paired up with Shiro. If you’ll just take a seat, he should be out in a few minutes.”

Shiro?, Lance thought as all the gears in his brain suddenly screeched to a halt. I must have heard wrong. There’s no way—

“That’s okay, Pidge, I’m already here,” said a deep and familiar voice just behind Lance.

(Or: What do you do when the guy you've been crushing on turns out to be your personal trainer for the day?)

95- easier to lose by quiddative [Explicit]

Shiro is at the peak of his NHL career. Unfortunately, being famous has its downsides, particularly when it comes to dating. And that’s on top of the fact that he’s still in the closet. However, a chance meeting with college student Lance, who seems to be the only person in the entire city who doesn’t know who he is, gives him hope that maybe he won’t die alone after all. Just as long as he can keep his identity a secret.

96- A Halloween Tail by Cathwren

Lance just wanted to have a fun Halloween night, but when homophobic idiots give him trouble he makes a new friend in the dashing young knight that swoops in to save the day. Secrets are shared and Lance can easily say he got a night to remember...and maybe even a boyfriend.

97- 13 stories for Halloween by liddie [Explicit]

A collection of 13 Shance stories for the month of October featuring (but not limited to): vampires, kitsune, werewolves, demons, cursed scarecrows, ghosts, merpeople, oni and whatever else comes to mind!

98- Head Start by SuccubustyKisses [Explicit]

Werewolves. If there was one scent Lance knew above all else, it was Werewolves. Being born from a werewolf father and a human mother Lance knew werewolves. So when he got to the Galaxy Garrison and smelled werewolf in his class his first thought was to make peace with the other wolf.

Sure, Lance was only a half blood, and the closest to transformation he'd ever gotten was sharpened canines and claws during a full moon, but he was still wolf. As such, wolves should stick together. He left his family pack behind to come to the Garrison, maybe he'd be able to form a new pack here.

99- Forgotten Gods and Scales Like Jewels by keir [Explicit and Dubious Consent]

Lance has spent his entire career searching for the elusive and forgotten god of war and lust, a god made of part man, part snake. The pieces are there, and once Lance puts them together, he and his team discover the long forgotten temple dedicated to the naga god, but more lies in store for Lance than he could have ever dreamed of discovering.

100- Of God's and Fae's by MommaVanillaBear

A fae of the ocean, casted aside and alone made the dangerous trek to the festival of lights, and though the way back should have been easy, his steps become lost and the ocean he searches for is replaced by thick foliage and towering trees. Caught by a creature that claims to be an Earth fae, the one of the ocean must spend a month living in the forest or else the God who watches the forest will become aware of him.

“So, uh, you in Detroit on business?” Lance asks. The guy glances at him and for a second Lance thinks that he’s terribly misread his mood and he’s about to be snubbed in the worst way. Then he notices the dark circles under his eyes. The man’s totally exhausted. “No,” the man says, shuffling together his papers and securing them together with a wicked looking alligator clip. “I’m headed to New York.” Lance perks up. “Oh! Me too! I’m headed there to meet up with- uh…” Lance is cut off when his neighbor unbuckles himself, stands, and pushes into the line of passengers with a muttered apology. Lance sits there, dumbfounded as the man opens the overhead compartment and pulls down his- Nope. That’s Lance’s bag he’s strapping over his shoulder. That’s his palm tree name tag, that’s his laptop, that’s his senior film project he’s been working on for the past six months and his external hard drive with only back up of three hundred hours of work just shambling down the aisle and off the plane. Oh no.

107- Double Trouble by liddie [Explicit, Kuro and Shiro]

When Lance agreed to help out at his grandma's flower shop during summer break, he didn't know that it meant managing the shop singlehandedly for months while she went adventuring off to Europe.

Sure, he needs to practice his magic with living things...and yes, plants are a good way to do that without bodies stacking up if something went wrong. But Lance can't even keep a dandelion alive to save his life, so how the hell is he going to keep the entire stock of his grandma's enchanted flower shop alive and healthy for four months?

The answer is simple. He's going to summon himself some help using the dusty old spell book he found in the attic.

It's too bad Lance's handwriting looks like chicken scratch on a good day…

109- How Deep is the Love We Think We Know by mizufallsfromkumo [omegaverse]

It had been a considerable while since Shiro nested.

So long in fact he didn’t even realize he was doing it.

Until he yanked one of the Castle’s lounge couch cushions out from behind Pidge. No regard for the fact that she was using it. He just knew he needed that one because it was the softest of all the other cushions. Pidge’s surprised squeak as she toppled to the side didn’t even register with him for a moment.

Or at least not till Keith called him out.

110- Repayment by SuccubustyKisses [Explicit and omegaverse]

“I need you to do me a favor Coran.”

“Anything for you, son.”

Lance stepped forward, digging his wallet out of his pocket and slamming it down on the desk in front of him. “There is a man here, an alpha named Shiro. He lost his arm in a car accident.”

“Yes, Takashi Shirogane. It’s a shame what happened to him.” Coran looked away sadly.

“I want you to take this credit card and give him everything he needs. The best, top of the line products.” Coran looked down at the credit card pressed between Lance’s hand and his desk then back up at Lance. “Please?”

117- The Beast Of Pirate's Bay by SuccubustyKisses [Explicit and Major character death, but don't scary you. Happy ending]

A loud shriek filled the air, causing him to fall back onto the damp metal of the ship floor. “I’m sorry.” He whimpered, covering his ears as the sound continued to ring out.

As instant as the sound came it quickly disappeared, leaving Lance to tentatively uncover his ears. “Please,” he begged, tears escaping his eyes as he looked over the side of the boat again. “I won’t even enter your territory if you just bring me a juniberry flower!”.

118- The Lion, The Witch, and the Cursed Ghost by SuccubustyKisses [Explicit]

When lance goes to Kogane forest in search of the cat he saw plastered all over the news he ends up with a lot more than he bargained for. But he's not complaining.

The ghost floated up, arms crossed as he looked over the trees. “I’ll make you a deal.” Lance’s eyes brightened, he knew his excitement was obvious. But, he didn’t care. “If you can find me in this forest before the sun sets, I’ll take you to see Shiro. If not, you will leave this forest without a fight.” He turned and lowered down to Lance’s level again, holding out his transparent hand. “Do we have a deal?”

Shiro must be the cat.

Lance reached out, taking the hand, surprised when he actually felt contact. “Deal.” Before he could even shake the hand properly it was gone, along with its owner, only the flutter of leaves in the air showing he had even been there. Snatching up one of the leaves, Lance grinned. This ghost vastly underestimated him.

125- my boyfriend's back (and you're gonna be in trouble) by heavenlyrare

130- Just Take That Breath in Your Lungs by mizufallsfromkumo [Omegaverse]

When Shiro was younger, and freshly presented as an Alpha, he use to think about how things would be when he claimed his mate for himself.

Ideally it would be their wedding night, but it wasn’t a necessity. Shiro was fine with whenever moment arose and felt right. And when his intended mate would find it, Shiro would turn on soft music. They’d maybe dance a little, or speak soft words of love. Then the night would progress in a slow, gentle, and loving path towards claiming.

Because yeah, Shiro was a hopeless romantic at times.

Sue him.

But that was the furthest thing that was happening, Shiro thought as he and Lance flopped into the nest both of them had constructed over two weeks ago.

131- Can You Find the Path that Leads Back to My Heart by mizufallsfromkumo

Lance was just left to sulk in the cockpit. And wonder just where his relationship stood with his mate, who had his soul transferred and fused into a clone's body. A clone Lance had just continued on courting like nothing ever happened, because he didn’t know his mate had even died in the first place.

Lance never thought going to space would be filled with so much drama.

Much less, drama that made his life sound like really bad telenovela plot line.

132- Some Good Shooting by AshesTheTerrible [Explicit and Trans Lance]

Lance and Shiro had been nothing but a hurricane of spats and frustration since the switching of lions. And then quite suddenly...they weren't anymore. Hunk couldn't figure out what had changed between the blue and black paladins but the rest of the team just seemed happy the two were working together. Maybe a little too well in fact.

Unbeknownst to the others, really all it took to change the two paladin's attitudes toward each other was one hard kiss in the hangar doors.

The Curtains Close On a Kiss A Blueski Fanmix

Listen Here

Tracklist below because as with my previous fanmix, I wanted to write a bit about each song choice.

1.  Sleepsong by Bastille (gif credit)

Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side It is the hole you impose upon your life When you're out, loneliness, it crawls up in the ground It's what you feel, but can't articulate out loud. Oh you go to sleep on your own and you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort

When we first meet them, Will and Riley are both haunted by their pasts.  With Will we see this immediately, the episode starting off a memory of Sara Patrell overlapping with his visions of Angelica.  With Riley, we don’t know about her past, but there is an obvious sadness to her.  Neither of them want to be alone, but through circumstances beyond their control they have found themselves that way.  Riley has lost so much, her mother and husband and daughter all dead back in Iceland.  Will’s father is a shadow of his father self, and he never believed Will about Sara Patrell.

2.  I See the Light from Tangled (gif credit)

And at last I see the light And it's like the fog has lifted And at last I see the light And it's like the sky is new And it's warm and real and bright And the world has somehow shifted All at once everything looks different Now that I see you

Then Will and Riley see each other for the first time, and everything changes.  After so long being emotionally isolated, they instantly feel an affection for each other.  They are in love at first sight.

3.  Gasoline by Halsey (gif credit)

Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me? Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me? Just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me? Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me? Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me? Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me? Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me? Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?

Riley doesn’t want to open up to Will about her life at first.  She doesn’t want to get him involved in her world, even though she witnessed a shootout and knows she is being followed because of the drugs and money she accidentally took.  Even before that happened, she was already in a dark place.  Although talking to Will makes her happy, she also doesn’t want him to see the side of her that numbs herself to the pain with drugs.

4.  Cough Syrup by Young the Giant (gif credit)

Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away To some fortune that I, I should have found by now And so I run to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Unfortunately, Riley doesn’t have much of a choice about Will getting involved.  Nyx finds her, trying to kill her when she tells him she doesn’t have his money.  Even though they have just been reborn as sensates, Will feels Riley being attacked.  He saves her.  But London is no longer safe for Riley, and she knows it.  She wants to go back home to her father, but she believes returning to Iceland will put the people she loves in danger.  While she is grappling with this choice, Will is dealing with the consequences of helping Nomi.  He is suspended from his job as a cop, something that is a core part of his sense of self.  When Riley arrives in Iceland, she visits with Yrsa while Will is visited by Jonas.  They finally admit to each other that they’re not as alright as they’ve wanted the other to think.

5.  A Thousand Years by Christina Perri (gif credit)

Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything, take away What's standing in front of me Every breath, every hour has come to this One step closer I have died everyday, waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

When Riley is taken by BPO, Jonas is right to say that the first thought in Will’s mind is getting on a plane to save her.  From the moment they met, they’ve been constantly on each other’s minds.  It has only been a couple of weeks, but there is no hesitation from Will.  He does everything in his power to get to Riley.  But in the process, he makes eye contact with Whispers.  They get as far as they can from him, Will driving to the top of the mountain.  But Riley is struggling with her flashbacks.  With her new sensate abilities making her relive the day of her daughter’s death over and over, Riley is in an unbearable amount of pain.  Will can feel that pain.  With Whispers on their trail, Jonas and the memory of Angelica are telling him the only way to save the rest of their cluster is to kill himself.  But Will knows this would doom Riley to death as well.  He has just found this amazing woman, and he realizes in that moment that he loves her.  He loves her, and he refuses to give her up.  Will confesses his love to Riley, giving her the strength to save them both.

6.  Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men (gif credit)

There's an old voice in my head That's holding me back Well tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right. Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Riley is reliving the worst day of her life, sure that she was supposed to die on this mountain.  But she can feel the strength of Will’s love for her.  Through her pain, Will’s love gives Riley the strength to save them both.  To live.  Riley drives for the first time in years, bringing them to Sven’s boat to escape safely.  They don’t know what the future holds in store for them, but Riley and Will know that together they can make it through.

7.  Where Do We Go From Here? From Once More, With Feel (the Buffy musical episode) (gif credit)

Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? The battle's done, And we kind of won So we sound our victory cheer Where do we go from here?

The cluster have won their first battle with BPO, saving Riley and escaping from Whispers.  But Will looked Whispers in the eyes, and their war has only just begun.  He has to live in a state of semi-consciousness, hiding from Whispers while still trying to gather information on him.  They’re starting to run out of options.  Will’s body is slowly succumbing to the heroin.  For a while, Riley has to have faith that Will can pull through this.  She believes in him, but there is no clear plan.  Their future is uncertain.

8.  Heartlines by Florence + the Machine (gif credit)

We will carry We will carry you there Just keep following The heartlines on your hand Just keep following The heartlines on your hand Keep it up, I know you can Just keep following The heartlines on your hand 'Cause I am

Whispers finds Will’s father on Christmas.  Seeing his father struggling without him is too much, and Will admits to Riley that he’s not sure he can win.  He has been strong for his cluster for months, but because of his savior mentality he felt like this was his burden to carry alone.  Riley reminds him that he is never alone anymore.  He doesn’t have to fight Whispers by himself - they will defeat him together.

9.  All The Small Things by Blink 182 (gif credit)

All the small things True care truth brings I'll take one lift Your ride best trip Always I know You'll be at my show Watching, waiting, commiserating Say it ain't so, I will not go Turn the lights off, carry me home

Together, the cluster gets one over on Whispers.  But it doesn’t take long for Whispers to come back into their lives, driving Will and Riley back into hiding.  When they realize that there must be more sensates out there than any of them thought, Riley makes a decision.  She is tired of hiding.  She decides to take Vincent up on his offer to do a last minute show.  Will is worried, but he trusts and supports her decision.   Likewise, Riley feels and understands Will’s worry.  She gives him her strength and love, and her speech at her show is largely directed at telling him just how much he has given to her in their time together.

10.  Colors by April Smith and the Great Picture Show (gif credit)

I'll wear your colors my dear Until you're standing right here Next to the one who adores you Whose heart is beating for you Like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea I'll wear your colors til you come back home to me I'm hoping you return the glow I'm just making sure you know That no matter how, no matter when You come back to me

Riley’s plan works.  They find more sensates, the first of whom is The Old Man of Hoy.  They ask for his help, and he and the Archipelago agree to give it.  But they have one condition - Riley has to go to Chicago alone.  It is the first time Will and Riley have been separated since they met in person, and it is extremely hard on both of them.  Will is especially worried, considering Riley is taking a huge leap of faith in trusting Mr. Hoy and the Archipelago.  This could easily be a trap.  When Will’s father dies, it gets worse.  Will struggles.  But they hold strong for each other over the distance.

11.  Learn To Let Go by Kesha (gif credit)

Had a boogeyman under my bed Putting crazy thoughts inside my head Always whispering, "It's all your fault" He was telling me, "No, you're not that strong" I know I'm always like Telling everybody, "You don't gotta be a victim Life ain't always fair, but hell is living in resentment Choose redemption, your happy ending's up to you" So I think it's time to practice what I preach Exorcise the demons inside me Whoa, gotta learn to let it go

Will is struggling with the death of his father.  Whispers has been doing everything in his power to make the loss as painful as possible for Will.  It reverberates through the rest of the cluster, and Capheus is almost hurt when Will is unable to pull himself out of his pain.  He has been strong for the rest of his cluster for so long, always encouraging them when they need it.  Will has especially been there for Riley through her pain, helping her recover and lending her his strength.  But is is hard for him to do this for himself.  When Capheus is taken after the rally, the cluster confronts Will.  They feel his pain, and they don’t blame him.  But Riley tells him that they need him.  Capheus forgives him instantly, but Will decides in that moment to work through the pain.  He has helped Riley survive hers - they can do this.

[evielynsdisneyfemslashfanfiction]

Here is Part 5 of You Must Return Home;

- Something or someone who has caught your attention, daughter? - The king asked knowing his intentions. 

- Yes, but let's say she already has her attention on someone else - the girl shrugged. - Anyway, let's go! That we have to do treaties with Arendelle! 

The trip back to the kingdom was quite peaceful, on Elsa's face you could see a triumphant smile, with the support of Vesterland, now he could ask for help from larger kingdoms and with greater power without so much chance of being rejected. In that insists, he recalled with some appreciation the first time a king had agreed to have a business relationship with her when he was just eighteen, it was a small first big victory that, unfortunately, he could not share with anyone beyond his guard who, Being honest, he only kept her company in all the old ones. He looked at Honeymaren with that expression and could see how the brunette answered that gesture, that was enough for Elsa's happiness to increase, she wanted to hug her so much, to tell her that she had achieved it, 

Honeymaren seemed to notice that, so, leaving one of the ropes with which he directed Sven and Heart and, at the beginning, he wanted to go straight to take his hand, but he stopped for a few moments, was it corrective to take it like this? Not that he feared how Elsa would react, but he also didn't want his emotions to overshadow hers, for the rider, that the guardian enjoyed her own feelings, her own victories, was more than primordial and she wanted to show that I was happy for her, who shared that emotion with the blonde. So he changed his hand direction to put it on the regent's shoulder, drawing his attention completely now. The smile on Elsa's face was radiant, extraordinary and Honeymaren swore she was seeing the most beautiful thing that ever stepped on the earth, maybe she was exaggerating, but in those moments, 

"You did an excellent job," Honeymaren said proudly. - You did. 

- I know, and you know what it means? - Elsa looked more relaxed, calmer. - With the support of King Jonas, I will be able to put Arendelle back in the field, people will be able to trade again, make a living and have better things and, when Anna returns, she will have fewer things to worry about. 

- I imagine, from what I have seen at this time, being queen is not an easy task - the Northuldra left the blonde's shoulder and, carefully and seeing her reaction, began to approach her face by pressing it with delicacy. - I never get tired of saying it, you're someone great, Elsa. 

The blue-eyed girl felt her heart beating rapidly and in that instant she remembered all the beautiful things that the brunette had said about her in the palace with Mari. Carefully, he placed his own hand over the rider's, holding her where he was. 

- What you said in Vesterland Castle, did you say it is serious? - Asked the guardian sincerely. 

- Every word -, a smile was painted in Elsa's respect, leaving Honeymaren's hand free, which was brought to be able to lead Sven and Heart well. - Is it so hard to believe? 

- No, it is not that ... All my life, I have never thought that anyone can see me like that and, well, then I met you, and Ryder, and Yelena, and the others, and they started treating me as if I was a person and ... It's just that it's hard for me to believe it's real -, the regent confessed, looking straight ahead. 

- Well, it is, Elsa, we all see how wonderful you are, I see how wonderful you are and if someone does not see it, then you must be blind to not notice the beautiful person in front of you - before that, the blonde smiled and Honeymaren did not let go of the opportunity to give one last comment with a half smile. - Besides, you're beautiful, who wouldn't look at you? 

- Ah, enough - asked Elsa falsely offended. 

"I'm just telling the truth," Honeymaren shrugged. - I don't know why you are still single, beautiful, excellent person, independent, self-confident, something inexperienced in social interactions, I don't know about you, but I would already be at your feet. 

- Look who's talking, why aren't you single if you're amazing? You are beautiful, strong, always willing to help and protect those who are precious, you never doubt your actions, climb trees, you can ride reindeer like a professional, you have great fighting skills and you can set fire without help from Bruni - he flattered Elsa - I don't know about you, but I would be doing that strange ceremony with reindeer or courting you.

Honeymaren shrugged, no matter how much she wished that all of that was that everything Elsa said said it with other intentions, she knew it wasn't like that, she wanted to say, come on, how could she have a chance with such a woman? And, although she was very sure of what she liked, Elsa, on the other hand, had no experience and did not want to overwhelm her with more things than she already had in mind. "It's just a passing crush, Honeymaren, it'll happen to you, you've only been with her for a long time," the rider told herself. 

- Mysteries of life, perhaps and it is because I have not yet found the right person - concluded the Northuldra. 

- I don't know if I'll ever find the right person, who would want to date someone who can freeze you? - The blonde sighed. 

- I would do it -, ventured the young woman with cinnamon complexion surprising Elsa. 

- Would you do it? 

- Yes, why not? You know what Yelena says, love comes in many different forms and your soul is destined to accompany another regardless of whether they are abroad. So if my soul mate had an exterior that could freeze me, I wouldn't mind. 

That response made Elsa's heart feel warm, very warm, more than she usually felt with Anna, Kristoff or with someone in general, why did Honeymaren unleash such feelings in her? Was it a power or was it simply that woman? I didn't know, all he could do was smile and lean on the brunette's shoulder. 

- Thank you. 

- You know you shouldn't give them to me, I'm here for you. 

- Still, thanks ... for being here. 

- And here I will always be

Chapter 3:

The return trip passed without many altercations, Honeymaren and Elsa spent talking about the things they would surely be doing at home, Ryder was surely taking care of the reindeer while talking with them, Yelena taking her place as a matriarch, the little ones running around for the place of insurance missing them both. That talk made the young guardian think a bit, she misses the Enchanted forest a lot, that was her home, the place where she could finally feel at home, but she knew that for now, she should be away, repair all stars and that Anna He returned to his own home so that he could do it to his own and, thus, return to have some peace and tranquility again. Maybe, when all this was over, could I go with Honeymaren for a walk in the Nokk? "Yes, Anna is coming back," a voice whispered in her mind. "Cast, 

The rider noticed Elsa's change in attitude quickly, from laughing and talking, she became quiet looking at nothing and that meant only one thing and it was nothing good. Without hesitation for a second, he pointed to the finger that Elsa still had bandaging and asked how it was resulting in the blonde being able to stop having all those negative thoughts and focus on the now. Honeymaren knew about the problems the guardian had, especially when she tried to do her best for everyone, so when she realized that she was going through a bad time, she didn't hesitate even a few seconds to give her help and support, because of the little she knew Elsa knew that she liked to do things alone, however, sometimes, it was necessary that even she needed a hand to lean on and she was willing to be that hand always, wanted to take care of her, 

Both arrived at their destination at sunset and were immediately received by the residents of Arendelle immediately. Elsa informed them that everything would be fine and that, incidentally, he had brought presents for everyone, which filled the kingdom with life. All citizens began to make a great line while Elsa, along with Honeymaren, repatriated pieces of cake that were given away by Mari. The happiest were the children, obviously, who thanked the guardian and the rider with great affection with hugs and tender words; the adults were more demure, they offered friendly smiles to both women before taking their respective slices. What began as a small distribution of sweet snacks, ended up becoming a small gathering in which the whole kingdom participated, ate cake, talked with the regent and,

- Honeymaren, Honeymaren! - I called him an excited child. - Is it true that you are an expert climbing trees? 

- And what do you breed reindeer? - He was joined by another. 

- Yes and yes - the brunette smiled at the enthusiasm of the children. - In fact, I had Heart since I was a little renito, I watched her grow and she chose me as her rider, which I also do quite well. 

- Wow! - Both children said in unison. 

- Come on, little ones, leave Miss Honeymaren alone and go play for a while - said a bigger man, which both boys did. - Sorry for the inconvenience, miss. 

- Do not worry, children are like this everywhere - the brunette shrugged. 

- Yes, that's right, - replied the older man. - Tell me, miss, how are things in the Enchanted forest? The last time I heard about him was with his people's last visit here. 

- It's pretty good, Elsa has been in charge of keeping the peace between the spirits and us. 

- Ah, yes, your majesty now lives with you, doesn't it? I'm glad, I'm glad - the old man smiled. - I must say that it is a pity that he had to leave his home because of this tragedy we are living, it is not easy to have someone who you love disappeared. 

- That's right, but we are trying our best to find Anna and bring her back with you - said the rider. - If anyone can do that, it's definitely Elsa. 

- I hope so, miss. 

The man looked with some regret at the young regent who was at a safe distance from them attending to some citizens. 

- His majesty has already gone through many losses, first his freedom, then his parents and, now, that it seemed that everything was fine, his sister, his brother-in-law and that little snowman ... I don't think his heart endures so much. 

"That is not going to happen, sir, Elsa is strong and determined, she will bring Anna back, you'll see," Honeymaren said. - And if the worst happens, I will be with her at all times. 

- You care a lot about her majesty and you have a lot of faith in her, don't you like her? - The older man observed. 

- Elsa is a very special person for me, I don't want her to suffer and if I can help her with something, I will do it without a joke - those words made the man laugh. 

- You really are someone particular, Miss Honeymaren, I'm glad to see your majesty have someone so good at your side - that comment made the heart of the Northuldra beat a little faster. 

- You could say -, just said the brunette. 

- Well, I have to withdraw a moment to see that those children have not gotten into trouble - said the Lord. - See you. 

- Sure, take care. 

At that moment, the man began to walk in the direction of where the children had been allowing, finally, that Elsa approached her partner, Honeymaren did not know, but the blonde had been observing her behavior at all times for if someone told him something wrong, since the incident at the castle, he had made sure that everyone treated the rider with the respect he deserved. 

- Did you have a friendly conversation? - The Regent was interested to see the smile on the brunette's face. 

- I impressed some children and a man is happy that you have someone good by your side, nothing more -, he said that if Northuldra was not the big deal making the blonde laugh. 

- But that entertaining talk, I'm glad you're getting along with the inhabitants here. 

- It's easy to talk to them when they're not looking at you ugly - Honeymaren joked without noticing that Elsa hadn't seen him like that. 

- Did anyone look at you ugly? Who? Yes he did, I want to have a conversation immediately with that person and ... -, the rider's laugh made the white-skinned girl stop talking. - It was a joke, wasn't it? 

- Yes, sorry for making you worry. 

- Maren, you know that I care about you and that I don't like being treated less, both you and I have the same roots, we have the same home and I don't want anyone to make you feel less about it. 

The young rider looked away a little while smiling sideways, how was that girl so kind and tender at the same time? He had never encountered such a generous person before.

- Thanks, Elsa -, was the only thing Honeymaren could say. - You know? If someone tells you something or makes you feel bad, just tell me, I will have a very close talk with that person. 

- I promise - laughed the blonde. - But I think it's time to go, don't you think? 

- Of course, after you, your majesty -, joked the Northuldra while both began to rise to the race. 

- Please, don't call me that. 

- Okay, royalty. 

- Maren ... 

- I only play with you, Elsa! 

- That's better. 

The girls climbed into the cart and headed to the castle where Elsa informed Kai of the incredible news and that, starting tomorrow, she began to prepare everything for the right trade between both kingdoms, the man looked at the ruler excited and He hastened to do what was said, carrying with him an aura of happiness that infected everyone. Honeymaren looked at that in amazement, until that day, he didn't know much about how to run a kingdom, the closest he had seen to that was when Yelena distributed the tasks among the tribe, they were few and, even so, it seemed that the matriarch had problems To be able to feed and ensure everyone's well-being, I didn't want to know the tremendous weight that should be held responsible for an entire kingdom, so being able to trade with another insurance was something quite big and, right now, I could only appreciate how big it was and why Elsa was so stressed with the subject, seriously, the blonde was amazing, every day that passed, Honeymaren felt even more moved and delighted by that young woman with blue eyes and a heart of gold, Could he do something for her to show how proud she was of her? That was! I would do something to congratulate her! With a smile, the Northuldra apologized and left the place to the castle gardens.

Elsa watched as the Northuldra retired, something surprised she saw her leave, it was not common for Honeymaren to leave her alone, she usually always accompanied him for dinner, they spent a little time together and then both retired to their respective rooms. He looked at Kai silently asking if he knew anything, but the man only shrugged as a sign that he was just as or more lost than the blonde. Elsa, then, just returned to her office to prepare the papers that she should fill out tomorrow, although she had achieved a relatively formal agreement on her visit to Vesterland, there were still protocols to follow, treaties to write and, of course, letters to send to the other kingdoms on her list to start moving the trade again, Anna had left Arendelle in good condition, but that didn't mean that that good condition remained alone until the queen returned, so for now, she She should be in charge of keeping things in place. As she put what was required on her desk, she noticed her mother's diary on her table still and, carefully, she ran her fingers over the aged leather, missed them so much, mutely, asked with all her heart that Anna was fine, that wherever they were, they would protect their sister long enough so that she could find her whereabouts.

While the blonde did her royal duties, Honeymaren was outside the castle getting firewood, some blankets, some fish, wood and some sane along with Heart. As soon as they had things, they returned to the castle again, more specifically to the immense gardens of it, there, the Northuldra put all the collected material and gave a look of complicity to Heart that, immediately, understood that it was what he wanted to do and, immediately, went to look for Sven and Bruni to help him, after all, it was a surprise for Elsa in return for the success of the day. Honeymaren rolled up his hands and started working, hopefully, he would have everything ready before dinner. She took care of making a small lavvu with wood and leather, He put some blankets inside and left the store open so that the fire could enter and illuminate its interior, Sven and Heart took care of making a small fire that Bruni lit with pleasure. Once that was ready, the rider went on to prepare the fish, at the time Elsa had been with them, he had developed a certain taste for a preparation they made based on fried fish and some herbs, so that was what he would do Honeymaren to surprise her. 

The hours passed and Elsa's stomach began to protest the absence of food, so she calmly stopped from her desk and left her office in the direction of the kitchen waiting for Honeymaren to be there to snack with her, while walking through the corridors, could not help remembering that, usually, Anna was the one who should get her out of that place and force her to eat because she always wanted to be, the castle felt so empty without her, she sighed tired, it was not so painful that her younger sister wasn't there, but still, she felt the absence. His steps took her to her destination and she was surprised to see that, instead of a dinner served, there was a small handwritten message and that, from what she could denote by the letter, it had been written by one of the cooks, maybe Marian or Stephanie,

“See me in the gardens, today is your day! 

Sincerely, Honeymaren.”

Elsa, now more energetic, walked the halls of the palace without losing that cheerful gesture of her cheeks, what would Honeymaren have planned? I didn't know, but I was dying to find out. His heart was beating rapidly, his stomach from asking for food, he went on to house hundreds of butterflies that fluttered all around him. When he left the main courtyard, what he saw left her speechless. There were Sven, Corazon, Bruni and, obviously, Honeymaren with arms crossed with that half smile that characterized her so much, all standing watching her directly, behind them, she managed to spot a fire that had a cauldron with a smell that she recognized perfectly and , even further behind it, a lavvu made with leather and wood. He put his hands in his mouth hidden the great surprise that was beginning to expand all over his face, Had they really done that for her? Just because of a negotiation that went well? I wanted to say, that was so normal for her, yes, it was an important negotiation, but neither was something of masterful importance, if things went wrong, she just had to look for someone else, but still, there was Honeymaren acted as if she had just saved to a small nation or something similar. At that moment, Honeymaren approached her when she saw that the blonde did not seem to be able to move from her place and stood beside her tenderly placing her hand on her shoulder completely surrounding her. there was Honeymaren acted as if he had just saved a small nation or something similar.

- You like? - Asked the rider while looking at the blue-eyed girl. 

- When…? How? -, Honeymaren could only smile.

- I thought about doing something nice after what you did today - explained the Northuldra bringing Elsa to the lavvu. - Show you how happy and proud I am for you. 

- Maren, it was just a successful negotiation - the guardian smiled as she sat on the lavvu. 

- If I remember correctly, when we left there, you were excited because the support of that kingdom would allow you to trade with others easily, right? For me it is cause for celebration!

The young blonde watched as her partner took out some wooden bowls and served in them what was inside that pan, the aroma that reached the nostrils of Elsa caused the tingling in her stomach to slow down slightly and be replaced by hunger, but only partially. 

- Take, I know how much you like this and I decided to prepare a little - Elsa took the plate with a smile. 

- You know you could have used the kitchen, right? - The blonde said starting to eat her portion of food. - Why do all this? 

- I wanted it to be special for you and, come on, both you and I miss being out here, outside, with nature -, sat next to her the brunette eating the same way. 

- Yes, you are right - said the guardian breathing in the fresh air. 

Both girls stayed there for a while, delighting in their food and spending time with their four-legged friends, Sven had improved a lot, he still got depressed every time he saw something related to Kristoff, but it was manageable already, Bruni was happy with the little mountain of Snow that Elsa had prepared for her and Corazon, well, she was happy by the fire. After eating, Elsa and Honeymaren decided to spend a little more time in the lavvu watching the starry sky. 

- My mother really liked to look at the sky - commented Elsa out of nowhere. - When I asked him why he did it, he replied that it was because the sky woke up. 

- It is true, Yelena told Ryder and me as children, - Honeymaren said. - The stars tell us so many things, every time the sky wakes up it is because he wants to remember all those stories of our ancestors. 

- Seriously? 

- Yes, do you remember the story I told you when we were coming? - The blonde nodded. - That is one of the many legends that are hidden in the sky, and who knows? Maybe, one day, heaven will count yours, Elsa, can you imagine what I would say?
