His cerulean eyes were truly what people described and more. They had the effect that the Bernini statues had had on you when you had first seen them: awe and wonder at how an artist could carve marble to look like flesh and silk, how fingers curling on stone could look so soft and powerful. Gojo Satoru’s eyes were the same: they left you in marvel of the specks of hundreds, if not thousands of hues of blue, from the deepest depths of the ocean to a forest stream to the summer sky, all the way to the richest sapphires and the July fields of cornflowers in a meadow. They were framed by snowy eyelashes like snowflakes on ice, and try as you might, you could not accept that they were covered by sunglasses most of the time.

The first time you had seen them, you had forgotten how to speak. Now, because Satoru was a bit of a prick, he never did let it go. Once he had caught onto the fact that you had a crush on him, he had asked you out on a date. You were a lawyer green as grass at the firm he was partner at, fresh out of law school, looking to make a name for yourself in the law scene and make a change. Though his methods of arguing were unorthodox, Gojo Satoru was regarded as the best lawyer in the city. He talked way too much and often got cheeky with the Judge, which always made you slump in your chair and cringe inwardly like all the bones in your body had turned to soup, but somehow, his charm always managed to appease both the Judge and the jury.

Nanami-san said that if anyone other than Gojo tried his methods in court, they would be held in contempt in the span of five minutes without even having the time to utter “Your Honour”. He could do what he did because he was Gojo Satoru, but you still admired his speeches, his compelling motions, the way he could turn a case around at the last minute of the closing arguments as though it was second nature.

It was after a full day in court where you had had to cross-examine a very important defence expert witness that Gojo had kept you in the cafeteria at the afternoon break. You were sitting on a bench, trying to relieve the pain in your feet after wearing stilettos and standing behind the podium for hours, and drinking the watery coffee that did not taste like much just to keep yourself going just for another two hours, when Gojo had approached you.

‘That cross was quite the show’ he had commented, devouring a pastry, licking his lips when the strawberry jam inside it painted his mouth bright red.

That had been when Gojo had first taken notice of you. After that, he had insisted on getting a morning coffee with you, buying you lunch on the break and had even invited you to a dinner with the firm partners, and despite you feeling really out of your depth, he had managed to make you feel like you belonged with his easy jokes and cheeky compliments.

One week after the dinner, he had taken you on a beautiful date at a bar in the bustling centre of the city, where cocktails were served with smoke billowing from the glass and even just bartending looked like full-fledged artistry.

And now, after your third date, you had had a couple of glasses of red wine, and you had felt courageous enough to take him up on his offer to go back to his place. As a starting practitioner, you were living in a small flat near the courthouse, one where if you opened the sofa-bed, you would not be able to reach the kitchen unless you crawled over the bed. And now, you were in a penthouse with windows surrounding the living room, overlooking the skyline and the city centre. It was... extravagant and showy, two adjectives you would immediately choose when talking about him. And he was currently embracing you from behind, kissing your throat, sending your heart pattering like hailstones on a car windshield.

You hadn’t had the guts to tell him you were a virgin. You were out of your depth here as you had been at the dinner, but this, this felt so much more personal. This was... embarrassing.

Perhaps because you had been so busy with law school and then work, trying to stay on top of bills and rent, you hadn’t had time to date. You felt as though you had missed a big part of your puberty and early adulthood, and at some point, it had gotten to a point where “waiting for the right one” had turned into not trusting anyone enough with the embarrassment of still being a virgin. You had never been fully naked with someone, never done anything more than making out and shirtless dry humping. And he... well, he had a reputation as a womanizer. He looked like the type to have commitment issues, and God, you should not be involving yourself with him to this point, you should not give out your first sex experience to someone who might just want a one night stand with no baggage, but he had won you over like he won all of his cases.

And now, you were afraid to admit that you loved that peculiar, flamboyant man, and you wanted him to be your first.

But you did not know how to come clean with it. And so you were stuck in that predicament, turning into putty in his hands and growing more and more tense by the minute as his lips ghosted your jaw and your throat, his hands splayed on your stomach, holding you in place.

‘You are so pretty, sweetheart. You smell so sweet- you look so innocent, just want to see you look at me with your pretty teary eyes underneath me’ he murmured against your ear, and a shiver ran up your spine, your eyelids fluttering at the mere sound of his voice. He sounded... tantalising. It was as if his voice alone was enough to render you unable to think, enough to make your lower stomach drop and force you to press your thighs together to alleviate the throbbing between them. The huskiness of it, the sweet but sensual tone, his words... they were all making you dizzy. You could just hear him speak in your ear forever and you would never need to have sex to know what it felt like.

‘Satoru-‘ you breathed, licking your dry lips, and he turned you, picking you up and forcing you to wrap your legs around his hips. His lips clashed with yours, hungry and enticing, soft and ravenous as they sought to brand you and burn their likeness in your mouth. His tongue was warm and demanding against yours, and he tasted faintly of mint and spiced rum, a lingering tribute to the last drink he’d had. His teeth sank in the pliant flesh of your bottom lip, and he sucked, tearing a whimper from you that made him groan.

The sound that came from his throat did nothing to quell down your lust, rather, it poured gasoline on a forest fire, to the point where you were squirming and gyrating your hips against his erection in an attempt to find reprieve.

‘Eager, are we, baby? I like it’ he chuckled, and you burnt from embarrassment and sheer lust, gulping when you found yourself in his room, which seemed to be bigger than your flat, on a king-sized bed with the softest mattress you had ever felt underneath you. He was quick to take off his shirt, giving you a view of his flawless alabaster skin and the lithe body he was blessed with, one that was nonetheless quite toned and muscular for someone who spent his day arguing with people. He climbed above you, looking at you with those cobalt eyes that seemed to make the world stand still.

‘C’mon, sweetheart, relax. I’m not going to devour you- unless you ask nicely’ he winked at you, making you burn at the embarrassing joke and the connotations of his words.

‘I- I haven’t... had sex before. Ever’ you decided to rip the band-aid and hope for the best. Satoru’s reaction was not what you had expected. He looked perplexed.

‘You’re a virgin? You? You must have had a crowd of fanboys following you for years. Were none of them up to your standards? Were you waiting for me?’ he teased, smirking, almost as if he was trying to put you at ease with his light humour. You gave a nervous laugh.

‘Uhh, I was... busy- and never really got to that point’ you stuttered, wishing his stupid extravagant bedside table lamps weren’t on so he wouldn’t see your face.

‘Well, I am flattered you chose me. I’ll have to make it worth your time, yeah?’ he said, seemingly falling back into his charming self as he ran the pad of his thumb across your lower lip, making you hold your breath as you waited for his next move.

He cupped your face, drawing you in for a slow, sensual kiss that made your stomach drop and pebbled your skin with goosebumps. The touch of his fingers was a mere caress across your ribcage, your waist and hip, but you could tell that he was holding back, and he would have likely been much rougher had he not known that this was your first time.

His feverish lips traced a line to your throat, and he took his time savouring your skin, kissing and licking and nipping at your skin until you were sure you were nothing but a pliant ragdoll in his hands.

‘I’m going to make you feel so good, baby... going to make you addicted to this, make you my good girl’ he crooned against your skin, and your breath faltered, your teeth pulling on the corner of your bottom lip. He sounded sinful, alluring, like he was casting a spell on you. His voice alone, hearing him say that, the drop in his tone, the way his tongue seemed to caress every word like his fingers were ghosting your skin... it was already becoming too much to bear. You needed to feel more, and you did not want him to treat you like you were a fragile thing who would break at the slightest touch.

In your fantasies, ones you would take to your grave, he would just take you as he spewed filth to you, praising you and making you feel like you were the only thing he ever saw and wanted. You wanted to be his.

‘Satoru... you can be rougher with me’ you murmured, and his eyes seemed to gleam in the orangey glow of the lamps, a grin spreading across his reddened lips as his fingers curled around your hip.

‘Careful what you wish for, pretty girl’ he said, his hand skimming your body to settle on your ass, under your skirt. He was fondling the pliable skin there, his tongue dipping out to lick your cleavage. He helped you out of your top, his eyes devouring every inch of your skin, making you feel truly attractive and seductive as you watched him take in your features like he couldn’t get enough of you.

Satoru ran his willowy fingers over your breasts, ghosting over your stiff nipples, circling them before he pulled down the straps of your bra and snaked his hand underneath your back to unclasp it and toss it away.

You would have felt self-conscious, were it not for Satoru’s immediate enthusiasm as he dipped his head and kissed the skin around your nipple, his hand kneading the other breast as his tongue flicked your nipple and he sucked it. You arched your back into his eager mouth and skilled fingers, wishing he would touch you between your legs, because you couldn’t take it anymore.

‘So pretty- you’re so sensitive, baby. You want me to take this pretty little skirt off?’ he asked, voice almost mellifluous, and you nodded almost too eagerly, immediately averting your eyes and feeling your cheeks heat up with warmth as you watched him smirk. He unzipped your skirt, easily slipping it off you, and his fingers ran up your thighs, which parted for him instinctively. He hummed in self-satisfaction, eyes locked on your face as he cupped you through your underwear, making your breath falter and a desperate mewl escape you at the much needed friction, which still did not feel like enough.

‘You’re such a good girl. So wet for me’ he crooned, dragging his fingers along your labia, pressing slightly until you were squirming underneath him.

‘Please, Satoru- need...’ you whined, and he chuckled, lowering his head to plant a kiss on your clothed pussy, his tongue mischievously flicking you where your most sensitive spot was.

‘What do you need, sweetheart? Want me to take your panties off and lick your cute little cunt?’ he asked, so impossibly lewd and alluring that you could not help but moan, nodding desperately.

‘Yeah- need you to touch me’ you breathed, and he smirked, cerulean eyes bright and impish as he hooked his fingers on the hem of your panties and dragged them down your thighs, discarding them and immediately touching your bare skin, teasing your wet labia and kissing your thighs, inching closer and closer to your cunt.

He dipped one long finger inside you, and you were already clamping and throbbing around it, but when he curled it, you could not help the breathless, wanton moan that poured out of you. It felt too good to be true.

‘Such a tight little cunt. Need to get you used to my fingers before you can take my cock, m’kay?’ he cooed, and your head spun with the sheer desire that man could induce in you with just his voice and a single finger.

But when his tongue joined his hand and he flicked your clit, you swore you saw stars. Your hands shot to his snowy hair, and instinct made you try to squirm away, but Satoru would not let you. He pinned you down with one large hand and let out a gravelly groan, circling your clit with his tongue.

If you had known oral sex felt this good, you would have sought someone out years ago. But perhaps it was just Satoru, and he was annoyingly good at everything, including sex.

You were reduced to a sobbing, wanton mess as Satoru tormented you in the sweetest way there was, coaxing whimpers and moans from you as he sucked your clit in his searing mouth, added another finger inside you and pumped them, slowly at first, and then deeper and faster.

His fingers were so much different from yours: they were longer and thicker, and he knew what he was doing even better than you did. And his tongue... God, it was torturous.

‘Cum for me, pretty girl- cum on my face’ he said, and you were undone. Your orgasm rocked through you like a surge of electricity, making your body tense up and your thighs tremble, your ears ringing and your eyes full of tears, white splotches dancing in your vision as the tight knot in your lower stomach released.

You were bleary, worn-out and breathless when he finally lifted his head and slipped his fingers out of you, unable to even form words after the orgasm he had just torn from you. Your dazed eyes followed him as he lifted himself off the bed and unbuttoned his trousers, taking them off along with his black boxers, until you stared, eyes slightly wide as his cock slapped against his lower stomach, thick and long, the reddened skin contrasting with the neatly trimmed white hairs of his crotch and the pale skin of his stomach.

He reached to the drawer of his nightstand, grabbing a condom and ripping the wrapper with his teeth. He unrolled it over his cock, smirking at you and hovering above you, kissing you and rubbing the tip of his cock over your labia, making you whine and push your hips against him to get him to push in.

‘Shh, shh. I have to be gentle, don’t want to hurt you, baby’ he murmured, looking as though he was struggling to restrain himself too as he pushed in a little bit, until the tip of his cock pressed inside you, tearing a whimper from you. It already felt thick and as though it was filling you and stretching you, and you did not know whether you would be able to withstand any more.

However, with coaxing and shushing from his part, he was able to push a few more inches inside you, moaning as his head dropped in the crook of your neck, his breath uneven. Your eyes scrunched up and you gritted your teeth at the burning sensation inside you, taking small breaths and trying to relax your muscles even though your instinct was to tense up.

‘Fuck- you’re so tight. You can take it, you’re doing so well, sweetheart. Just a little more’ he praised, kissing you, forcing you to relax and distracting you from the pain you felt as he pushed. You gasped at the sudden pang of pain, raking your nails down his back, but the sting did not take too long to fade away.

The first push of his hips after the pain went away felt so good you could not hold back a loud moan, and your back arched into him, your eyelids growing heavy with pleasure.

He let out a groan, gripping your thigh, lifting it around his waist, deepening the thrusts until you were squirming underneath him, whining and pleading with him.

‘Good girl. You feel amazing. You sound so sweet, baby’ he crooned, slapping his hips against you, until you could barely breathe and were rendered incoherent by how good it felt, how it pressed against all the right places, how his words were guiding you through it, heightening the pleasure.

‘’toru- please... I’m so close’ you moaned, and he gave you an impish grin, pulling you into a sloppy kiss, his hand snaking between your bodies to roll your clit between his fingers, until you were quivering and writhing underneath him, gasping for air when your lips weren’t interlocked with each other.

‘That’s my good girl. Cum for me, baby. I’m close too’ he said, getting rougher, pushing deeper and harder into you, lifting one of your legs on his shoulder, his bright blue eyes burning into you, seeming to sear the image he was seeing into his brain.

A string of curses and slurred pleas left your mouth as it got too much to bear and the knot in your belly released, making you tremble with your orgasm, your field of view obfuscated with white, your muscles weak as his hips stuttered and his rhythm broke. He came with a breathy moan, his head thrown back in bliss, his lips slightly parted.

Satoru slumped next to you, a light sheen of sweat making some strands of snowy hair cling to his forehead, his skin almost glowing in the dim light of his room.

You dared to reach to his face and brush them away, and he closed his eyes, almost as if he was revelling in your touch. It made your heart tighten in your ribcage.

‘Shower with me?’ he asked, smiling slightly, and then his lips stretched into that charming, roguish smirk, ‘I can’t promise I’ll behave, sweetheart’

Cult Leader Aemond x Reader

So I listened to "Cult Leader" by King Mala and I couldn't help but think of this and i really need this out of my head so.

p.s I haven't written fanfiction for a minute so I'm a bit rusty

picture belongs to @bittersweetarts

It was another insufferable day at Y/N's diner job that barely covered her bills. It was a shit job with coworkers that she had to constantly pick up the slack for, perverted creeps that came in to flip up the skirt of her uniform asking how much she charges for an hour, and drunks that would stumble in ordering food before vomiting and promptly passing out in the booths. Despite the incessant constant work it was decent compared to the seedy backrooms and under the table handies that came with most jobs in Flea Bottom. There weren't many jobs like hers in her unfortunate hometown and she was always grateful she was able to snatch this one up before the late fees on rent and empty fridge made her too desperate.

Y/n had just trudged in from the back door after dragging out a leaking trash bag to the dumpster while her coworker had a smoke outside. After washing her hands Y/n turned only to stumble back a bit as pair of blue robes loomed in front of the counter. The blue robes have been appearing wherever Y/n goes lately. On her walks to work, her occasional trips to the grocery store, and most often during her shifts. But this was new, the blue robes have never approached her they've always just stood next to the entrance waiting and watching sometimes for hours. The blue robes were apart of a religious zealous group. While religious freaks preaching about end of times and eternal punishment weren't uncommon in Flea Bottom, the blue robes had a different method for their gospel. While the rest of the missionaries in Flea Bottom tend to sing endless praises or tell bone chilling stories about their gods to turn sinners, the blue robes were secretive of their god only true followers were permitted the privilege of knowing who they found worthy of worship.

Blue robes travel in pairs wearing dark blue robes with lace sleeves and veils shrouding their faces offering handmade invitations to people they've watched. The owner of the diner has tried to force them out plenty of times when they loiter in the diner. He used to threaten to beat them bloody every time they showed up, but they must of known he was a cowardly man who liked to play the role of a stronger one. Because no matter how loud he shouted or what weapon he brought out to wave in their faces they stood dutifully never moving an inch. It seems today however the blue robes have observed enough as they pull their veils over the top of their heads in unison revealing a man and woman with wide smiles each of them missing their right eye.

"Hello dear sapphire," they said in unison "Father wishes to welcome you home," with each of them holding a corner they hand Y/n a green letter with an indigo seal.

"I'm sorry...what?" Y/n asked

"Father requested for us to help him find his gem," said the woman. "We've told him of you and he is pleased," said the man "And now he wishes for you to come home," they finished together never dropping their smiles.

"Sorry umm, but i don-,"

"This invitation is special," they said. "He wishes to meet you personally it's a gracious offer," they started to sound desperate their smiles beginning to twitch a bit. Y/n looks between the two of them trying to keep a friendly smile as her breathing becomes a bit frantic.

"That's...kind of him, but I'll have say no," Y/n said giving the two an awkward smile. The man and woman begin to shake their once jovial faces begin to twist into that of dread.

"Please please just see Him once? Just come to see Him one time" the woman begged. Y/n eyebrows knit together glancing between the two as their now frightful eyes fill with tears.

"I don-''

"Please don't say no He's expecting you to come you have to come!" the man shouted. They both began to shove the invitation into Y/n's face their tearful eyes staring into hers frantically.

"Alright," Y/n says slowly reaching out and taking the invitation. "Tell your...father that I'll come just this once," the man and woman instantly return to their bright expressions.

"Thank you sapphire Father will be pleased," they say together before pulling their veils over their faces in unison and leaving. Y/n paused as she looks down at the letter. What the hell just happened? Y/n gathers herself and opens the letter.

"My dearest Sapphire, I have been looking for you and wish for you to attend a special dinner with me. I have left you a present in your apartment please wear it for me tonight my gem, Your dearest love ~A"

At the bottom of the letter there was the time of the dinner, an address, and money for transport.

"In my apartment? They've been following me home too?" How Y/n has never even seen them on her street before and she always double checks behind her on her way home. How'd they even get inside she always triple checks all three locks so no one breaks in. There's no way they've actually been in her apartment right? When Y/n finally arrived at home all of her locks were still in place and when she walked inside her apartment everything looked completely untouched not one thing out of place except for a velvety indigo box with blue roses on her bed. Attached to the box was a note reading "For my dearest sapphire." Inside was an elaborate emerald green dress with split sleeves and a layered skirt. The sleeves were lined with lace and the skirt had intricate golden flowers embroidered on the hem and bodice. Y/n stomach was turning. They had gotten inside how did they get inside? Should she move? Where would she even go? Even if she had the money to move would they just follow her there too?

"Just one night," Y/n breathed. "One night shake his hand give a smile and leave. I can do that just one night."

The address took Y/n into the city of Kings Landing. She had been saving up to move here, but she didn't dare dream she would actually have the opportunity to even visit. Dreaming for things out of reach was dangerous in Flea Bottom. Hoping for more than one was born to usually lead to trusting the wrong people to take advantage of your desperation. Y/n arrived at the location it was a towering fortress bigger than a cathedral. Y/n went up to the giant armed blue robes standing guard almost tripping on her dress invitation on hand.

"Hi I'm Y/n I got a invited today to meet with the uh Father?" she said holding up her invitation while doing her best to apear tall and confident.

"Welcome to the Red Keep Sapphire," the guards said in unison. They open the gates and lead Y/n deep into the Keep. Passing through long hallways and twisting stairs till they reached double doors. Inside was a luxurious room with hardwood floors. The room was lit with candles and decorated furniture fit for royalty, but what caught Y/n's eye the most was the man standing in the middle of the room. He was a tall man with a domineering presence and a sapphire for a left eye. He wore black well fitted trousers and what looked like black ceremonial robes. The robes had intricate blue embroidery on the sleeves and collar.

"Hello my dear Sapphire," he said walking up and embracing Y/n. Y/n's body became rigid as she awkwardly returned his hug before pulling away.

"Hi um...thank you for inviting me," Y/n said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"It's lovely to see you again my dear. I've missed you," he said. Y/n backed up a bit at that.

"What do mean? This is the first time we've met," Y/n said. His smile slowly began to fall only to quickly returned as he grabbed Y/n's wrist and lead her to a small locked box. It was a simple brown wooden box hidden under a part of the floor carefully wrapped in velvet cloth. The box had magnolias engraved into the front Y/n's favorite flower.

"Don't worry my dear I know just what you need to help you remember," He reached into the sleeve of his robes and pulled out a small key to unlocked the box. He gently cradled the box and gingerly opened it. Reaching in he pulled out a small piece of sapphire and handed it to Y/n.

"Do you remember now dear sapphire?" Y/n stared at the jewel. Why did it look so familiar. The sapphire was crudely cut into a strange shape like a crooked tear drop. Where had she seen this before? Y/n rotated the rock before she perked up snatching the matching half out of her pocket. She fit the two pieces together forming a heart.

"Aemond?" Y/n said with an endearing smile meeting his eye. Despite her realization she could still hardly recognize her childhood friend. Aemond had grown out of his curly hair that he use to demand Y/n detangle while he read to her. He was even missing his adorable freckles that got darker when they napped together in the sun.

"My gods Aemond!" Y/n said throwing her arms around him. Aemond put his arms around her waist holding Y/n tightly leaning into the crook of her neck like he used to.

"What are you doing here? This is a weird place to reconnect. We could have met at a restaurant or something you didn't have to rent a room from the blue robes to peak my interest," Y/n said smiling up at him. Aemond chuckled.

"I didn't rent a room my dear. This is our home and I've finally made it perfect for you stay," Aemond said stroking Y/n's face as he began to smirk.

"Stay why would I- what do you mean stay?" Y/n said pulling away from Aemond.

"This is your new home my sapphire exactly as I promised we would have last time we saw each other," Aemond said passionately. He grabbed both halves of the sapphire and held one piece to his heart and placed the other to Y/n's hand before pushing it to hers as well just as they did all those years ago when they first promised themselves to eachother.

"Don't you remember our perfectly beautiful home filled with devotion, happiness, and children to love?" Aemond said leaning his forehead into Y/n's. Y/n's body becomes stiff as she tries to lean away.

"Aemond that was a long time ago. I mean we were children when we made that promise," Y/n said laughing awkwardly.

''I know my love and I've kept our sapphire with me everyday since then to keep you in my heart and remind me of that promise," Aemond said.

"Aemond please that's very kind of you, but you can't just appear out of nowhere after years and expect me to live with you," Y/n said fully backing away from Aemond. Aemond's jaw began to clench as he stared into Y/n. His brows knit together and his breath becomes more uneven. Before he could express his grievances Aemond was interrupted by a horn sounding off. His face relaxes a bit.

"Perhaps my dear sapphire you must see the fruit of my labors to fully embrace the home I've built for us," Aemond says. He the turns to a near by chest and pulls out two intricate headdresses. The one he places on his head was black with a large sapphire in the top of it. The headdress had thick black spikes that sat slightly behind his head like sun rays with smaller sapphires along the base of them.

"Come my dear we must dress properly for the occasion," Aemond said as he walked up to Y/n gingerly placing the other headdress on her head. Y/n's head piece was similar however hers had small emeralds connecting thinner golden spikes that were a bit more curved connected by a forehead piece with a big emerald in its center.

"What occasion?" Y/n asked

"The return of the Mother," Aemond said with a smirk leading Y/n out of the room through a hidden door in the wall. Aemond and Y/n walked through dark passages lit with only candle light until they reached a large door. Aemond looked back at Y/n his smirk growing as he opened the large door to reveal a sea of a congregation all of them prostrated before the alter they now stood on. Y/n gasped she didn't know that there were this many blue robes she hadn't realized how far their reach had gone no one did. The sanctuary was filled wall to wall with blue robes all without veils every last one missing their right eye. When they saw Aemond and Y/n they all immediately stood to their feet their faces filling with an endless joy as they all desperately scrambled as close to the alter as physically possible.

"Aemond what is all of this?" Y/n whispered. Her face was contorted with anxiety and her breathing becoming quick.

"These are our loving children as promised my sapphire. They've worked hard and have stayed loyal to build the perfect home for their Mother," Aemond said with a wide grin. Aemond put his arm around Y/n's waist and led her to the front of the alter. The closer they got to the edge the more blue robes leaned in to see her.

"My sweet children," Aemond said loudly. "I promised you a Mother. One that is loving, one that is gentle, one that will make you whole. I promised you that if you prayed for Her. Worked hard for Her. If you bled for Her that She would come home. That She would bless us all and fill us with Her light. And She has returned home," Aemond said stepping a bit to the side and pushing Y/n more to the front. The blue robes began to rouse with excitement, but Aemond cuts their celebrations short.

"However my loves though She has seen your loyalty seen your devotion She does not believe that it is enough and wishes to abandon you once more," Aemond said. Y/n curtly turned to Aemond face full of a mix of distress and confusion. The crowd erupts with sounds of agony. Some collapse others weep openly they all look to Y/n.

"No Mother you can't leave you have to protect us!"

"Please Mother don't leave us! You can't!"

"Father promised he promised you would stay!"

"I promise to work hard until I bleed for you Mother please stay!"

"Yes Mother we'll bleed for you we swear it!"

The blue robes claw at each other climbing and crawling on top of each other to get just that much closer to Y/n. The ones closest to the alter began to reach for Y/n. Some of them grabbing and pulling at her skirts to keep her from leaving. Y/n stares into to crowd gazing into all of the distraught faces filled with tears all of them begging screaming for her to not leave them behind. Y/n made eye contact with a young woman who looked to be slightly younger than herself. She was heavily sobbing and shaking clinging desperately to the front of her skirt as if she would drop dead were she to let go. Her eye was heavy she looked as if she had been awake for days. She had that same face Y/n saw in the mirror everyday. The look of someone in their prime being used up until there was nothing left begging for someone anyone to save them from the constant agony they've been forced to endure for daring to be born in the wrong place

"Please Mother don't leave!" she hiccuped. "I've tried so hard to make sure you'd come home please Mother I need you!" Y/n felt as though a boulder was dropped into her chest. Her head began to feel as though it was filled with static. Her eyes began to brim with tears. It became hard to focus to even think properly. Her thoughts would string together only to unravel into nothing. The young woman attached to the front of her dress began to crumple to the ground as everyone stirred into a frenzy someone had tried to climb on top of her in an attempt to reach Y/n. Y/n reached out as quickly as she could and embraced the girl squeezing her tightly to her body holding the back of her head delicately. The congregation fell silent instantly all of them frozen as they stared at Y/n. Y/n breathed heavily gazing over the crowd. Over her new children.

"You have done well," Y/n called out.

"I-I will stay with you my children. Please please don't cry," Y/n said her voice starting to break. "I will stay I will protect you so please don't be scared...don't cry," Y/n said. She began so stroke the young girls head as the girl now silently cried in the crook of her neck

"Thank you Mother thank you," the girl said pulling back to look Y/n in the eyes with a relieved smile before returning to her spot in front of the alter. The rest of the crowd quickly went from teary eyed to jovial. Faces once wet with tears of anguish are now reassured with the promise that their Mother will stay with them. Aemond walked to the front of the alter next to Y/n and places his arm around her waist. He puts his hand to Y/n's face and uses his thumb to wipe away her tears just starting to fall. He then leaned gently against her face and kissed her cheek before he addresses his congregation once more.

"Our family is now whole my children. Your Mother has come home for you as promised let us rejoice!" Aemond said. The sanctuary filled with cheers and singing celebrating the return of Mother. Y/n looked around the room at her new children in disbelief and awe with. Aemond smirked proudly leaning over to whisper in her ear.

"Welcome home my dearest sapphire."

summary: I basically took Isayama’s work, forced it into a romance story, and made Erwin the love interest. Commander meets cadet and they fall in love (not instantly though)

notes: very berry canonverse (but some events were modified to fit my narrative), wasn’t intended to be this long, but it all is in the details right?

content warnings: smut where it fits (or where I make it fit. Also, reader is NOT underage, so likewise, MINORS DO NOT INTERACT, please.) slow burn (I really mean it. I’m not olympic diving into any form of smut for the first chapters.) no angst. I dislike angst. I would never. I could never. (Although angst can be somewhat subjective so take it with a grain of salt?)

Perfumed breeze tickled your bare shoulders and sweet wine swayed inside clinking glasses, soft music lured twosomes to the dance floor, and the golden midday sun shone brighter than ever, as if making some sort of grand entrance, stepping into the courtyard like a guest of honor, blinding your eyes until they could no longer see anything around. Only the shadows and the shapes, and the bluest sky painted behind him.

And speaking about the sky, it had evidently dressed to match him that morning, from the cobalt pocket square peeking out of his morning coat to the corresponding silk tie obediently waiting on his chest; without forgetting, of course, about the crystalline sapphires embedded in his face, because in all honesty, who could forget? How could anyone overlook that heavenly blue of his eyes, iridescent at times, dreamily reflecting back all your favorite colors whenever they stared into yours. Just like they were right now, opportunely reminding you of secret moments spent inside some mountain castle down south; and the pleasant warmth that radiated from your chest at the thought made your lips curve into the same kind of smile his were wearing: knowing and conspiratorial. And you wondered if he found it overpowering too, the need to melt into each other’s arms.

His fleshy lips, appetizing as ever, parted slightly at the sight before him, his eyes methodically exploring first your features and then the colorful flowers on your dress, as if counting them, as if you were a coveted treasure seized from an enemy beyond the walls; his chest expanding as he took the type of deep, steadying breath that usually precedes life-altering statements. And then, when a labored ‘wow’ was all that left his lips, an amused chuckle escaped yours. You found it funny, to think those were the same lips that always knew what to say, the authors of the compelling speeches he used to motivate his men out there on the field or secure funds from closefisted aristocrats. And now, those same lips that not too many seasons back, had convinced a bunch of frightened kids to dedicate their hearts to a suicidal cause, had stopped working with nothing but a smile frozen on them. But that wasn’t a problem, given how eloquently his eyes were, instead, delivering the biggest compliments a lady could ever receive.

“Commander Smith.” You smiled teasingly, sending a courteous nod his way as you extended a hand for him to take.

“My lady.” He greeted back, his unusual wording eliciting another chuckle from you, because suddenly, it felt as if you were meeting for the first time again, as if you were the center characters in one of those romance novels your mother kept hidden under her mattress, as if some sort of magical encounter was taking place in the middle of Lord Koch’s garden.

He took the hand you were offering and brought it to his lips, where it remained for what, some would say, way longer than tradition stipulated. And all the while, you could feel him smiling against your fingers, his soothing breath keeping them warm, and the gentle stroke of his thumb against your skin sending a playful shiver straight to your core.

Some would say, probably the same people whose eyes were currently glued to the two of you, that ten thirty in the morning was too early for one’s mind to drift to the kind of inappropriate places yours was; but the thing is, they didn’t know about the wonderful things those lips could do nor the incredible delight those thighs could provide: muscular, well-developed, gift-wrapped in grey silk…or was it wool? If you could touch them, you’d be able to tell. But then again, that would be highly inappropriate for a garden party, wouldn’t it?

When his lips reluctantly let go of your hand, his fingers decided not to, choosing to stay wrapped around yours instead, gentlemanly accompanying them as if to see their safe arrival to your lap.

“Forgive my lips.” He smiled dazedly, eyes still lost in yours. “But it’s in familiar tastes where they find the greatest pleasure.”

That kind of apology suggested that he’d also noticed the inquisitive stares emerging all around you, stares that, at the moment, you didn’t have the mental disposition to concern yourself with, not when his words, as well as the evocative tone used to deliver them, were making your insides bubble in a dangerous cocktail of excitement and pleasure; a pleasure that quickly began to drip from deep within, like champagne spilling from the glass, drowning any other thought until all you could think about was how bad you wanted to pull him to a secret corner, sit on his lap and glide your fingers through that perfectly smooth hair of his, slicked back and neatly combed, desperately asking to be messed up.

“My lady?” He smirked playfully, a gesture that suggested he was probably very aware of the mess he was causing between your legs, a mess you hoped he would be so kind as to take care of later.

“There’s nothing to forgive, Commander Smith.” You replied calmly, your lips curving up in mischief. “At the moment, I feel like overindulging in familiar tastes myself.” You held his gaze boldly, unashamed to acknowledge all the things he could do to your body with his words only.

“Is that so?” He asked enticingly, taking a step closer and then another, his eyes locked so intently on their target as his face came just mere inches away from yours. “My princess shall never have to wait.” His lips whispered softly, only for the two of you to hear. “To indulge in whatever pleasure she craves.” He concluded, his husky voice more animalistic than human, the tantalizing woods and musks of his cologne intoxicating your senses, numbing them, clouding your mind until you could no longer think about anything, at least not anything that wasn’t his lips or the forbidden nights you spent together with them in his office, under the covers of secrecy. Was he about to pull those covers down with a kiss?

The logical part of you was certain he wouldn’t, but logic and rationality were not enough to stop the rest of your body from wishing he would. Especially your lips, they didn’t care that your parents were around somewhere, they didn’t care if they fainted the moment they saw their darling daughter kissing a man she had not been promised to; they didn’t care if, for the following weeks, you became the topic of the conversations all those fine ladies, who were now attentively staring at the two of you, would be enjoying with their afternoon tea. You and your lips cared about none of that.

But you knew he did.

And you knew him too well.

That’s why you weren’t really surprised when his fingers ignored the blushing cheeks he liked to hold when he kissed you, and reached for the back of your head instead, gently hooking the butterfly pin like a crown on a princess’ head. What surprised you, however, was that he knew the exact same spot where your mother had placed it that morning. Almost as if this wasn’t the first time he’d seen you today. And you wondered if that could be the case.

But before your mind could start speculating, he took a step back, a disarming smile painted on his handsome features as he offered you his arm to hold.

“May I?”

You smiled with delight, not hesitating a second to wrap both hands around the hard, unyielding muscles of his arm, letting them guide you to the other end of the courtyard. As you made it past grey-haired gentlemen who nodded back at him and blue-blooded ladies who were trying to exchange discreet glances with each other, you stroked his biceps subtly, eager for everyone to know that you were with him today, and that no, he wasn’t available for discussing work-related matters at the moment, much less dancing with anybody else. The gentlemen would have to wait until he was back at the office on Monday; and the ladies, well…their business would have to wait even longer. Because today, you looked up and smiled back at the man beside you, today he was with you.

“Well, if it isn’t my favorite contrarian!” Lord Koch’s exclaimed overjoyed once you reached the north pavilion, his tall frame approaching his friend with open arms. “Erwin! Glad you could make it.”

“Hansel.” The Commander patted his back congratulatory. “Wouldn’t miss an opportunity to celebrate a good friend.”

“My lady.” Lord Koch nodded politely at you once he was done greeting his friend.

“I came to greet you earlier, but Lord Angert told me that you and Madam Augusta were yet to arrive.” The Commander turned to the plush, jovial-looking lady beside his friend, who you assumed to be Mrs. Koch. “Madam Augusta.”

“Erwin! I’m so glad you could join us!” She exclaimed, also overjoyed and using the exact same tone Lord Koch had, albeit a few scales higher. According to your mother, the Kochs had been married since their academy days, and engaged since even before that. No wonder they sounded exactly like each other. “I asked Hansel if you’d be joining us this morning.” She smiled beamingly, taking the Commander’s hand in hers. “I warned him that if he didn’t go deliver the invitation in person, you wouldn’t come. He didn’t want to go at first, but I ma-”

“Augusta.” Lord Koch cleared his throat, flashing an uncomfortable smile at the Commander, who looked at you amusedly, gifting you with one of those light-hearted chuckles that always sounded like honey in your ears, and you giggled back.

“You’re never too busy to visit a friend.” Mrs. Koch said, smiling beamingly and naively, her expressive eyes making you realize she looked exactly like the fairy godmothers they drew on picture books. “Your father knows that very well, dear.” You blinked in confusion, thinking about the Commander’s late father before noticing she was looking at you instead. “He never misses a Wednesday, that conspiracy theory club is going to cause the demise of so many I know.” She squinted her eyes at her husband.

“Augusta.” Lord Koch cleared his throat again.

So the club was still a thing, only they moved it to Wednesdays instead.

“Oh Hansel, please. You don’t believe there is someone, even a single soul, at this party who doesn’t know about that little society of yours. Do you?” She chortled giddily when she saw you nodding in agreement. “Anyhow, it both pleases me and surprises me that someone has at long last managed to conquer this man’s heroically large yet forebodingly rebellious heart.” She said contentedly, smiling at the Commander and then at you.

“Augusta, the lady is his assistant.”

“Oh, my bad!” She feigned embarrassment, her eyes darting from the Commander to you, and then back to him, a knowing smile blossoming on her lips as soon as she caught glance of the comfortable way in which your hands were wrapped around his arm, almost as if they were more than fairly acquainted with his body. “What a shame, her angelic smile and Erwin’s dreamy blues would make for beautiful offspring.” She said with mirth, giggling enthusiastically as her expressive eyes awaited a reaction from you.

But you had nothing for her, at least not anything you could show her without incriminating yourself, so you just lowered your head, looking down at the glossy marble tiles in an attempt to hide both your burning cheeks as well as the little smile that started to take over your lips at the thought of their chubby fingers tugging at your skirt; their angelic blue eyes gleaming with happiness whenever their cute button noses caught a whiff of the little somethings you loved baking for them; their excited little feet making the cabin’s floorboards creak on their way to the front door, your way of knowing that he was back.

No, Mrs. Koch wasn’t the only one. You had thought about it too. Goodness, your pen knew just how much; she remembered about every single time you had forced her to stop right before she could tell your journal about it, because your mother always said that telling your dreams to someone else was the most effective way to curse them into never happening.

“The infamous Nile Dok in the flesh!” Lord Koch’s jovial greeting startled you out of your thoughts, making you raise your head just in time to see Hitch’s boss striding towards you. “Today is really one for the books, isn’t it? It’s not every day you get to see both your favorite commanders together in one place.” He said delightedly, giving the lean, black-whiskered man a welcoming hug, a gesture that showed you just how close they were.

“I just hope Commander Pixis doesn’t find this statement too aggravating.” The Military Police commander said in a monotone voice before turning to Mrs. Koch. “Madam Augusta.”

The feeble smile he had managed to put on for her quickly expired on his lips as soon as he was done shaking her hand, and you couldn’t help but smile when you remembered Hitch’s words: ‘he permanently has the face of someone who hasn’t been able to poop in years.’

“Good to see you, Nile.” Mrs. Koch smiled heartily, her eyes turning into the same crescent moons Leon’s did whenever he smiled, confirming your suspicions that it was indeed a family thing. “Hansel still resents Dot for outsmarting him at the regionals last summer.” She explained amusedly. “A sore ego and a thin skin make it difficult for anyone to forget, never mind forgive.”

“Oh I’m sure he’s around here somewhere. Saw him near the brandy earlier.” Lord Koch motioned with a lazy flick of his hand, the indifference in his otherwise enthused demeanor proving that the hurt ego his wife had mentioned was pretty much there. “Dot did win but I wouldn’t say I was outsmarted. Calling his performance ‘brilliant’, like the press did, would be a stretch.”

“Oh I’m sure this year’s regionals will grant you the rematch that you and your ego so desperately crave. I believe in you, darling.” Madam Augusta rolled her eyes, silently contradicting her words. “Hansel will only accept defeat to this man right here.” She explained, pointing at the Commander, who was now shaking Commander Nile’s hand. “Erwin is truly in a league of his own. Hansel is lucky he doesn’t have the time to compete at the regionals.”

“It is my desire to keep a solid friendship with Hansel what keeps me from playing at the regionals, and not lack of time, Madam.” The Commander said, eliciting joyous laughter from everyone, including Lord Koch himself. “How are Marie and the kids?”

Marie and the-

‘I don’t understand how someone like her ended up marrying my boss.’

Hitch’s voice started ringing somewhere deep inside your head, reminding you of the one thing you’d hoped you could forget.

‘She could have married anyone she wanted.’

She said, the warm spring breeze turning unpleasantly bitter all of a sudden, bringing back memories of that snowy winter afternoon spent with your best friend, not too long ago.

‘Eyes bluer than the summer sky, porcelain skin. A goddess.’

She continued, as if listing the participation requirements for a very prestigious competition, one you really wanted to win, but felt you’d already lost.

‘Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe her-’

‘…beautiful falls short-’

‘…stunning doesn’t do her justice.”

Her words grew louder the more she spoke, eventually turning into a sharp hissing that threatened to break your skull into a million pieces.

‘Apparently, they used to be close friends back in the day, all three of them…’

No.

‘Both, your boss and mine..’

No. You didn’t want to remember.

‘…were completely smitten with her.’

The last sentence painfully reverberated in your ears, each word feeling like shards piercing through your eardrums, like an unpleasantly loud and very discordant crowd of cicadas making your ears bleed, as they announced the end of the most beautiful sunset you would ever get to see.

‘Did you know…’

No. You were just fine living in ignorance.

‘…she was this close to…’

No. Please don’t say it.

‘…marrying your boss?’

You held his arm tighter, something similar to a heartbeat violently jolting your entire body, the aftershock sending painful shivers throughout your skin, all the way to the deepest, darkest part of you, where your chest stung and ached in a type of pain you were already growing quite familiar with.

And you wondered if Commander Nile was acquainted with it himself because, although his inexpressive eyes were difficult to read, you could have sworn that you saw them narrow, the mild bags beneath them darkening even more at the mention of his wife’s name.

His wife’s name…

You looked to his right abruptly, your heart racing as if to match the crazed speed of your thoughts.

If Commander Nile was here, then probably his wife…

You looked to his left, and then around; your eyes embarking on a journey of anticipation and uncertainty as they navigated the sea of faces surrounding you, each little glance holding the potential of familiarity for any wistful eyes wishing to spot her, or the dread of recognition, in your very particular case. The dread to discover, among the countless expressions, the telltale features Hitch had so poetically described, the golden hair, the porcelain skin, and the blue eyes that had stolen his heart all those years back.

Hi Alice!!

If you don't mind, could you do Athanasia headcanons in a modern au? ❤️ I really like the creativity that you put into your headcanons and say something more about her fashion, the athy from the manhwa used many hairstyles so I always felt that she cared a lot about fashion (like make up, hair accesories, jewelry, skincare) I want to know what you think about that

Ooooh more Athy headcanons?? Delighted! (I'm so glad ppl are liking the modern au, so here we goooo!!!!)

I feel like she'd just have good genetics, so skincare(expensive or otherwise) is usually gifted to her but she rarely uses them (on the other hand, she could be like those celebrity Vogue videos where they slather on every expensive cream known to mankind so either or lmao)

She's a jewelry girlie, and she accessorizes on the daily using rings that could range anywhere from minimalistic for school, like thin gold or silver bands. For when she follows her dad to business meetings, she would wear discreet name brand ones, and maybe her earrings would be a flashy brand to signal everything else she's wearing is of the same caliber.

I think she would prefer practical jewelry that she can wear into the water, but also, she would be the type to methodically arrange, take-off, and clean the jewelry she wore that day.

Specific gemstones she likes would probably be rubies, sapphires(pink and blue), diamonds, and she enjoys gold as the main material for her jewelry over all else.

Make-up is probably less is more for Athy, she doesn't need it and she knows that, but during school she'll wear minimalistic eye-liner to create more depth and choosing between the shades of pink gloss for her lips would give her lots of joy.

Hair accessories would be anywhere from pastel hair ties with little charms dangling at the ends if she has her hair up in a ponytail/pigtails or simple, black velvet ribbons woven through her hair if she has braids or with a pop of color here and there using flowers and mini gold clips if her hair is flowing free down her back.

Fashion-wise, per my last post, I believe she'd be old-money during formal occasions(let's think black skirts, white/navy tops, dark tights and slingback kitten heels, a gold, pearl strand watch and simple studs in her ears), vs school(usually sneakers, pleated skirts of a variety of colors, a bracelet band smartwatch, lowkey jewelry) or going out (jeans/skirts, boots or sneakers, a leather band watch, flowy tops.)

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT VEDIC ASTROLOGY

This indeed a nice question which will definitely help many people in better understanding of Vedic astrology.

There are many common misconceptions about Vedic astrology among common people and that is deep rooted in the society and people believe it much than the real Vedic astrology and still question the astrologer if it is correct or should they not follow it.

One of the biggest misconception about Vedic astrology is that it is a miracle making shastra and has got remedies to all kind of issues / problems in life.

People feel that with the help of remedies they can easily get rid of their problems and so they are ready to pay any amount of money for it.

Such kind of people becomes prey of quack / fraud astrologers who will lure people with the remedies to get rid of their problems quickly.

Lets understand with an example : A couple is not destined to have children by normal way as per their Vedic horoscope. So even if they does costliest of costly remedy then also, they can not have children by normal way. This is the bitter truth.

A remedy only works only when the event is promised as per horoscope, but there are hurdles and difficulties to achieve it, and there remedy helps in minimizing the negative impact of the hurdles there by easing it a bit for achieving it more easily.

The next misconception is about Saturn that it is a cruel planet and it always gives pain and difficulties and specially the sade sati period breaks down a person.

This is fear of Saturn / Shani dev is deeply rooted in the society and people have wrong knowledge about Saturn and its quality.

People think that the Saturn mahadasha and the sade sati will finish a person’s growth and they can not prosper during that operating period.

Shani Dev / Saturn is a teacher called Karmadata and he keeps a person in check by awarding for good karma and punishing for bad karma ( actions ).

There is misconception that moon and Jupiter is good planet and so any one can wear the ring of yellow sapphire for Jupiter and a pearl for moon.

This is completely wrong as if the Jupiter and the or the moon is signifying bad houses in their horoscope then it will create havoc in their life.

People feel that one should not directly wear a blue sapphire ring as it may cause problems and to check that the society knowledge people says that one should keep the blue sapphire gemstone in their pocket for 7 days and see if any bad / wrong incident is happening with them or not. If one stumble while walking due to their own fault then also they should think that its due to the wrong blue sapphire gemstone and should avoid wearing the ring.

In another method society people say that one should keep the blue sapphire gemstone under their pillow while sleeping at night for 7 days and if they have bad dream then then they should avoid using it for ring.

This is very funny misconception about understand a gemstone for remedy.

BUT the society’s misconception knowledge is more powerful than the real knowledge of Vedic astrology and so people still go much with their mis-conceptional knowledge more. CAN’T HELP.

Many people are scared about the rahu and ketu mahadasha also and feel that they will face worst difficulties during that period.

This is because when a person is learning the basic astrology then they are taught about good and bad planet in general to start with. But when one learns the advance Vedic astrology then they understand that every planet is good, bad and neutral. They act as per their significances as per that horoscope.

Now what I am about to speak is very very important for people in this modern world.

There are very clever and intellectual people who thinks that they can plan their child birth by consulting a good Vedic astrologer and get good time for their child’s birth and thus the child will have custom made best destiny and will be most powerful child of the future who will have all kind of wealth and knowledge and will live a very happy and beautiful life.

This is absolutely rubbish.

This cannot happen so. GOD has not given the power to human being ( astrologer ) to decide the destiny of a human being and customize it as per the need of the parents. NO no no no. NOT POSSIBLE.

But as I said that the society misconception knowledge is more powerful than real Vedic astrology and so many people still go the astrologer to plan their baby birth timing and gets looted by the fake / fraud / quack astrologers.

I hope that readers will get some insight and understand about some of the misconceptions about Vedic astrology.

So Far Away AU Part2

Chapter 1: Goodbye

It’s been a week since the war ended but the sense of melancholy was high in the air. The sound of scurrying people in white and the incessant beeping of the life support was ever present, but Jaune’s attention was not focused on them at all. His tired eyes looked softly at the young woman on the hospital bed, dressed in a light blue hospital gown. 

Her skin was ghostly pale and her arms were weak. Her usual light blue eyes were hidden behind her eyelids and her usually tied up platinum blonde hair was free. The scar that runs vertically down her left eye and face, didn’t diminish her beauty. The white-haired beauty lay there, seeming lifeless, the beeping of the monitors betraying that notion every single second. The dripping IV needles that were pinched into her veins gave her enough nutrients to nourish her and the nasal cannula leading into her nostrils gave her the much-needed oxygen. 

She was Weiss Schnee. The only survivor of Team RWBY was declared to be in a vegetative state. A dear friend of Jaune. He held her frail hand gently and activated his semblance. It was a futile attempt. The doctors have told him that. The injuries Weiss had received were internal. No amount of aura amping could heal the damage in such a manner, but the blonde could only hope.

Weiss… she meant a lot to Jaune. Sure they started on the wrong foot, but they have come to see each other as trusted friends. She even helped him a lot when he tried to assimilate back into society after the Ever After shenanigans three years ago. 

She was also the first person the rescue had found in the rubble. He was the one who found her. She was stuck in between rocks and he had heard many rescue personnel how lucky she ended up being stuck in that small space. But Jaune didn’t know whether Weiss would consider herself lucky. Three hours after Weiss was pulled out, Yang’s body was found and six hours later, they found Blake’s corpse. It was after twelve hours after finding Weiss, they found Ruby and Oscar’s bodies along with the sword of destruction. Right now, the sword was in Winter’s possession.

Suddenly, a low rap of the tap was heard against the door and Jaune looked in the direction to see Nora enter the room, wearing her mourning clothes. The knight goes back to watching the sleeping beauty as he feels a hand on his shoulder as Nora asks, “How is she doing?”

“Same thing as usual”, was the reply Jaune gave and the red-headed woman couldn’t help but grimace.

“Ren was asking whether you would be joining us. You know, we can understand if you don’t want to…” Nora hesitantly asks.

“Just give me a minute”, Jaune cuts her off and as he looks at her with his sapphire eyes, he says, “Can’t afford to miss it, can I?”

“But Weiss…” Nora states but she stops herself as Jaune stands up from his seat, while placing the sleeping woman’s hand gently in its place. With his index, he slightly shifts the white hair clear from her face.

He then walks towards a coat hanger, he says, “The doctors can see her for a few hours. But if there is any development, I’ll be coming back”, and he picks up his coat. Without slinging it on his body, he walks towards Nora and as he gently holds her by her shoulders, he says, “I want to give Ruby and others a proper send-off and that won’t happen if I coop myself over here”.

Nora’s lips quiver a bit as Jaune smiles gently at her and he simply nods. She then walks out of the room and the blonde knight follows right behind her, not before giving a glance at the sleeping woman. He lingers for a while, then without a word, he walks out, keeping in mind to inform the nurses to check up on her once in a while.

It was collectively decided that every single casualty of war would be laid to rest through cremation. Jaune had no idea whether the method was because they were on Vacuan soil or it was decided with logistics in mind. Well, he had to agree on one thing. It is easier to transport ashes when compared to an entire body.

Right now, he was patiently waiting in the cremation room, along with Nora and Ren. Headmaster Theodore was kind enough to lend them the largest room which had four incinerators. Cremating them together seemed more appropriate at the time. Qrow was also in the room holding on to Ruby and Yang’s weapons while Ilia was doing the same for Blake’s, silently mourning the loss of their dear ones. They held onto those weapons dearly and the blonde knight understood their attachment to it. 

They had this tradition in Vacuo where they burned the weapons of the warriors along with them. Weapons are considered the extension of one’s soul and burning them together with the corpse of their owner is considered letting go of this world completely. It made Jaune wonder if he were to die in this war, would Crocea be burnt with him? The sword was never his, to begin with. It was passed down through the family and he stole it to become a huntsman. There was some aspect of Pyrrha in it too. So would the burning of his sword be considered his death or the death of the heroism in his family?

If Jaune had his way, he would never have burned his friends’ weapons at all and in fact, he would keep them with him till the day he breathes last. He already has experience maintaining weapons that were not his. But in the small corner of his mind, he couldn’t help but ask whether it was right or not. Well, he didn’t have the right to say it. He didn’t hesitate to assimilate Pyrrha’s weapon into his sword. So who was he to have an opinion?

The door opens and personnel in hospital gear come in, wheeling in four stretchers, and is closely followed by Winter. The stretchers were covered in white sheets and Jaune didn’t need to know who was under those sheets. The somber mood that was already present in the room fell as the personnel gently lowered the covered bodies into the coffins that were prepared beforehand, and as they removed the covers to reveal their face… that was when all hell broke loose.

The wails, the tears… It was indescribable. Qrow broke down on the floor hugging the sisters’ weapons tightly to his chest while Ilia cried in her place, being consoled by Sun and Neptune. Nora cried in Ren’s arms while tightly holding onto Oscar’s cane. Winter… the usually stoic and calm Winter was also crying. The only person who was not in the room was Weiss and Jaune knew that if she was here, she couldn’t bear to see her team’s cremation.

Jaune couldn’t hold his tears in. He has seen many people die. He already knew what it felt like to have someone close pass away, but… he couldn’t help it. Ruby was the first friend he had in years. It felt like yesterday when they had met each other for the first time. Yang and Blake were close too. He still remembers how Yang used to nag him and how they used to train together. He still remembers how Blake used to go fully cat mode from time to time. Oscar… Oscar was like his little brother. He still remembers how he had gone with him to movies with Weiss. 

They had been through a lot of stuff together. They cried together. They fought together. They laughed together. But the very idea of sending them off pained Jaune a lot. He couldn’t do anything. There were times when he would remain wide awake at night, thinking what would have happened if he had left Winter to deal with Cinder and went after them. What would have happened if they didn’t waste time with Cinder? What would have happened if they had reached the site early? Would his friends be alive? Would he live to protect them for long? Thoughts like them made him wish that he would also have died with them.

It was Ilia who made the first move. She stumbles towards Blake’s coffin and as she places Gambol Shroud next to the feline faunus’s corpse, she breaks down once again. Sun was trying his best to hold his tears as he helped her up. Nora takes this as her turn and walks towards Oscar’s corpse. She places the Long Memory next to him and a few of the things he had collected over the years with them. There were a few of the things Jaune recognized. It took Qrow the most time to collect himself. He saunters towards his nieces’ coffins and he starts to cry as he places their weapon in along with them. 

Jaune didn’t dare to look at his fellow leader one last time. He had yet to properly apologize for what he had told her in Ever After. He was yet to make those cookies Ruby asked for as an apology. He had yet to tell her what he felt for her. He had yet to hear what she had to say about the feelings he had for her. Then why? Why did she leave so early? He believed that if he saw her one last time, then he wouldn’t be able to hold himself back. He might not be able to…

But he has to see through. Ruby was his best friend. Ruby was someone he loved. She is someone he still loves. 

So he took the initiative.

He steps forward, slowly but surely. With every step he took, he took deep breaths to calm himself down. It felt like an eternity when he finally stood beside resting Ruby. His lips quiver as his hand tucks her stray hair behind the ear. Her normally flushed skin was now pale. Her eyes brightened his day and many others were closed to the world. Her smile was non-existent. It was as if she was in a deep sleep, but Jaune knew better.

“Hey Rubes”, Jaune starts, his voice quivering. His sapphire eyes shed tears as he struggled to find words to say. What was he supposed to say in the first place? He was never good at articulating his emotions properly. He was called dense many times. He took his time to process things. Coming up with something to say was not up to his forte.

His eyes took in every single detail that he could see. The coroners did a good job of cleaning them up, but Jaune could see those faint scars and bruises on Ruby’s corpse. He could see that one wound which was hidden under her hair. He could see how her lips were dry and he couldn’t help but tear up even more. How did she feel at the last moments of her life? Was she scared? Was she in pain? How long did she endure against that witch?

So Jaune decided to do one thing that felt right to him. Ruby might have had a painful death, but he will comfort her as she is being laid to rest. 

He takes her hand, slightly flinching at how cold and stiff it is, and gently rubs it in his palms. A gentle smile grows on his face as in a low voice, he says, “There were many things I wanted to talk to you about and I’m not sure where I’m supposed to begin. I’m… I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you. I’m sorry for the things I have said. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be by your side when you needed me the most. I… I’ve always loved you, Ruby. You helped me a lot, that I couldn’t help myself falling for you. I couldn’t say it because I was weak. I was scared. You were my light and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do. But you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll figure something out. We always did. So… so sleep”.

He then leans down and places a kiss on her forehead and he ends by saying, “See you on the other side, Crater Face”. And with that being said, he walks out of the room, tears streaming down his face. Nora and Ren didn’t try to stop him; he wouldn’t have stopped even if they had tried. He didn’t go far. His legs gave out. He couldn’t control his fall. He just wanted it to stop. He just wanted it to end.

How long he was there… he had no idea. He came back to his senses when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up expecting to see Ren or Nora, but it was Winter. He must have looked like a mess when the frown on the woman’s face fell even more. Her eyes soften up as she says, “It’s time”.

Jaune nods as he slowly heaves himself up. The white-haired woman just looks at him as he collects himself. The blonde knight of rust stood there, unable to bring himself to attend the send-off but he must go through it. Ruby and others deserved that at least. He looks at Winter who looks at him with concern and he says, “Let’s go”.

Winter nods and walks forward and Jaune follows her. They entered the room once again and this time it seemed everyone had collected themselves. The sense of melancholy was weighing upon them but they had collected themselves. Jaune finds himself standing next to Nora and Ren once again and with him in his position, Winter gives the incinerator operators a nod of approval.

The operators nod and they gently slide the coffins into the furnace and close the door behind them. As soon as the last door was in place, the operators collectively nodded at each other and fired up the machine.

Slowly but surely, the fire envelops the coffins and heat engulfs the room. The sight of fire behind the glass of the furnace was mesmerizing but Jaune felt no joy looking at them. Sobs broke out in the room once again and tears found their way out of Jaune’s eyes once again.

The knight thought to himself. What was he going to do now? He wanted to be a huntsman all his life, and Pyrrha helped him shape up to tackle that dream. He might have been a leader, but he looked at Ruby for guidance. But now… what was he supposed to do? The war with Salem was over. Ruby is dead. But the Grimm are still around. But he is tired of being a huntsman. So what now?

His gaze falls on Ruby’s burning coffin. At the end of his life, he would see her again. He would see Yang and Blake too. He would see Oscar too. He was prepared to die but death was not ready to claim him. He would definitely die but the day of his death was yet so far away.

Name: Link Namika

Alias(es): Fox

Nickname(s): Kit (Twilight), Hero, Champion, Champ, Sage

Birthday: (I am currently working on a calendar system for this AU, so this will come later.)

Age When Introduced: 23

Pronouns: He/She/They (depending on the day)

Height: 5'4

Source: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom

Sexuality: Polyamorous, Panromantic, Asexual

There will be major spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom under this. Like. Endgame spoilers.

Favorite Color(s): Wild loves blue, but a very specific blue. They can’t help but notice that the color of the Sheika magic and the color of their favorite wolf’s eyes are the same blue and they love that shade all the more for it.

Disliked Color(s): Red. Blood moons and the calamity itself were both red and he isn’t here for that. They don't mind Gerudo red, or the red of apples, but other than that miss them with that color. Any shade of red outside of Gerudo red tends to send danger signals off in their mind.

Skills: Fox has a number of skills, but one of their biggest assets is that his fighting style is so diverse that they can adjust it on the fly as needed. Their sword skills are a convoluted mix of old-remembered knight's training, attempting to copy how monsters fight, attempting to copy how a wolf fights, Gerudo fighting, and the variety of things that Twilight (who also has quite the ensemble of sword skills) taught them. Their spear skills are much the same, but without the help from Twilight and adding in what they learned from the Zora.

Over the course of their two adventures they have had abilities given to them and later taken away so when you add that into the mix you end up with a fighter who is very quick at thinking on their feet and able to adapt to basically any situation.

At this point, Fox still has a couple unique abilities; flurry rush, bullet time, fuse, ultrahand, and recall. And he's basically mastered how to use these abilities for combat (and outside of combat in some cases).

Outfit/Design Notes: Fox has a wide array of clothing and accessories that they will wear whenever they feel it fits (whether for looks or practicality). And it isn't uncommon for them to change their hairstyle. to match their outfit either. But even with all this variety, there are some things that remain the same.

Fox has a number of scars scattered across their torso and arms, many of which are from when the guardian beams hit them 100 years ago. They also have a method they use to let people know what their current gender is using earrings. Blue/sapphire earrings are for boy days, red/ruby earrings are for girl days, and purple/amethyst earrings are for they/them days.

Also, after Fox beat Ganondorf and Sonia and Rauru used their body to channel magic into Zelda to return her to herself it also returned his arm to normal. Well, mostly. Neither he nor Zelda came out of the adventure looking quite how they did before. Fox's right arm and shoulder are covered in black markings that now lay not only where the marks used to be on their shoulder, but also tracing where the gold band-like structures used to be on them. And the skin that isn't directly marked like has a sort of bluish-grey tint to it.

They still wear the energy cells on their hip and there is now a dark green energy stone resting against the eye above where the energy cells sit.

Other: Fox is gender-fluid, shifting between he/him, she/her, and they/them. And they’re also polyamorous, pantomantic, and asexual. They have a qpr with their Zelda and a romantic relationship with both Sidon and Yona. At this point Fox remembers everything from before the Calamity, but the memories lack emotion and inner thoughts so they don’t feel like they belong to them. Because of this they don’t really identify as the person from back then.

By this point, it has been almost a year since the end of totk and they’ve fairly adjusted to the changes to their own body their abilities thanks to the loss of Rauru's arm followed by him obtaining Minaru's Secret Stone. They do miss having the other sages travel with them sometimes, but they feel better knowing that Zelda has a form of protection mo matter how far apart they are. Plus their own projection helps protect Zelda as well. And this also allows them to always be fairly aware of if she was in danger or not. And the general direction she was in in comparison to them.

Over the years since waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection Fox has gotten a bit better about being able to talk verbally if they feel it's needed. The words no longer stick in their chest quite as badly, but they still aren't very comfortable on their throat so they much prefer using Hylian Sign if at all possible.

Cyclone Blue Sapphires: Treasures from Sri Lanka’s Deep Waters

Sapphires are among the most prized gemstones in the world. Among them, Cyclone Blue Sapphires stand out due to their stunning hue and unique origin. Found in the depths of Sri Lanka’s rivers, these sapphires hold a special place in the hearts of gem lovers and collectors alike. This article will explore the fascinating world of Cyclone Blue Sapphires, their characteristics, origins, and why they are considered true treasures.

What Are Cyclone Blue Sapphires?

Cyclone Blue Sapphires are a specific type of blue sapphire that are distinguished by their vivid color and clarity. Unlike standard blue sapphires, which can vary in hue from light to dark, Cyclone Blue Sapphires exhibit a deep, rich blue reminiscent of the ocean depths. This intense color is what makes them particularly sought after.

These sapphires are a variety of corundum, a mineral that also includes rubies. While rubies are known for their red color, sapphires come in various shades, with blue being the most popular. The unique color of Cyclone Blue Sapphires comes from the presence of trace elements, primarily iron and titanium.

Origin of Cyclone Blue Sapphires

The Rich History of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has a long history of sapphire mining. The island is famous for its gemstones, including rubies, garnets, and, of course, sapphires. The geology of Sri Lanka provides the perfect conditions for sapphire formation. The country’s rivers, especially in the central highlands, have washed away countless gemstones over millions of years.

Cyclone Blue Sapphires are often found in riverbeds, where they are naturally smoothed by the water. The name “Cyclone Blue” is derived from the intense weather patterns that occasionally affect Sri Lanka, leading to changes in the river systems and exposing new deposits of sapphires.

Mining and Harvesting Techniques

The process of mining Cyclone Blue Sapphires is labor-intensive and requires great skill. Miners often work in challenging conditions, using traditional methods passed down through generations. They sift through river sediment to find sapphires that have been naturally tumbled and polished by water.

In recent years, however, some areas have seen modern mining techniques introduced. These methods, while efficient, can have environmental impacts that miners and conservationists are working to mitigate. Sustainable mining practices are becoming more common as awareness of environmental issues grows.

Characteristics of Cyclone Blue Sapphires

Color and Clarity

One of the defining features of Cyclone Blue Sapphires is their remarkable color. The deep blue hue is both captivating and versatile, making it an excellent choice for various types of jewelry. The best specimens display a rich, velvety appearance that seems to glow from within.

Clarity is another essential factor. Cyclone Blue Sapphires are typically very clear, with minimal inclusions. This clarity enhances their brilliance and overall visual appeal. Gemologists often grade sapphires based on these characteristics, with higher-quality stones commanding higher prices.

Cut and Carat Weight

The cut of a sapphire affects its overall appearance and sparkle. Cyclone Blue Sapphires are often cut in popular shapes, including oval, round, and cushion. A well-cut sapphire will maximize its color and brilliance, making it even more desirable.

Carat weight also plays a significant role in the value of a sapphire. Larger stones are rarer and, therefore, more expensive. Cyclone Blue Sapphires can range from tiny stones suitable for earrings to larger pieces perfect for statement rings.

Why Cyclone Blue Sapphires Are Unique

Cultural Significance

In Sri Lanka, sapphires hold significant cultural importance. They are often associated with love, wisdom, and nobility. Many Sri Lankans believe that wearing sapphires can bring good fortune and prosperity. Cyclone Blue Sapphires, with their deep oceanic hue, symbolize depth and tranquility.

Astrological Beliefs

Astrology also plays a role in the appeal of sapphires. In Vedic astrology, blue sapphires are associated with the planet Saturn. Many people believe that wearing a blue sapphire can enhance qualities like discipline, focus, and wisdom. Cyclone Blue Sapphires, due to their vibrant color, are often recommended for those looking to harness these energies.

Rarity and Value

While sapphires are widely available, Cyclone Blue Sapphires are relatively rare. Their unique color and origin contribute to their desirability. As demand for these stones grows, their value has increased. Collectors and investors see Cyclone Blue Sapphires as a worthwhile investment, particularly as awareness of their beauty spreads.

Caring for Your Cyclone Blue Sapphire

Cleaning and Maintenance

To maintain the beauty of your Cyclone Blue Sapphire, proper care is essential. Regular cleaning will keep the stone looking its best. Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt and oils. For deeper cleaning, soak the sapphire in warm soapy water for a few minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush.

Storage Tips

When not in use, store your sapphire jewelry separately to prevent scratches. Use a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box. Avoid exposing your sapphire to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, as these can damage the stone.

Where to Buy Cyclone Blue Sapphires

Reputable Jewelers

When looking to purchase a Cyclone Blue Sapphire, it’s crucial to buy from reputable jewelers. Look for jewelers who provide certification from recognized gemological institutes. This certification ensures that the sapphire is genuine and provides information about its quality.

Online Retailers

Many online retailers specialize in gemstones and offer a wide range of Cyclone Blue Sapphires. When shopping online, read reviews and verify the seller’s reputation. Look for return policies and guarantees to ensure you’re making a sound investment.

Conclusion

Cyclone Blue Sapphires are truly treasures from Sri Lanka’s deep waters. Their stunning color, clarity, and cultural significance make them highly sought after by gem enthusiasts and collectors alike. Whether worn as a piece of jewelry or kept as a collector’s item, these sapphires represent beauty and history.

As demand continues to grow, Cyclone Blue Sapphires will likely remain a valuable addition to any collection. Their unique qualities and deep roots in Sri Lanka’s culture make them not just gemstones, but a piece of art and history. If you have the chance to own one, you’ll hold in your hands a piece of nature’s magnificence—a true treasure from the depths.

(DEMO) How Do You Care for Your Precious Lapis Jewelry?

Lapis Lazuli, commonly referred to as lapis, is a deep blue, semi-precious stone that has been prized for centuries due to its striking color and historic significance. Whether you're a lover of a lapis ring, a pendant, or a bracelet, maintaining the beauty and longevity of your lapis jewelry is essential. With proper care, these exquisite pieces can retain their luster for years to come. In this guide, we will delve into the best practices for caring for your precious lapis jewelry, ensuring it remains in perfect condition.

Why is Lapis Jewelry So Special?

Before we dive into care tips, it’s important to understand what makes lapis jewelry unique. Lapis Lazuli is composed primarily of the mineral lazurite, which gives it its characteristic deep blue hue. It also contains pyrite, providing subtle gold speckles that enhance its beauty. Historically, lapis has been associated with royalty and spiritual significance, often used in ancient Egypt for amulets, jewelry, and even decorative elements in tombs.

Lapis is, however, a relatively soft stone, registering between 5 and 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. This means it is more susceptible to scratches, chips, and damage compared to harder stones like diamonds or sapphires. For this reason, special attention is required when handling and maintaining lapis jewelry. Below are some actionable steps to ensure that your lapis rings, necklaces, and bracelets remain radiant for years.

How to Care for Your Precious Lapis Jewelry

1. Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Water

Although lapis jewelry might seem like it can handle water (after all, it’s a solid stone), prolonged exposure can damage its structure. Water can seep into the porous surface of the stone, weakening its integrity over time. This is particularly important when it comes to wearing a lapis ring, as it may frequently come into contact with water during daily activities such as handwashing.

It’s best to remove your lapis jewelry before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities where it may be submerged for extended periods. Additionally, be mindful when applying lotions, perfumes, or any liquids, as these substances may react with the stone's surface and dull its shine.

2. Store Your Lapis Jewelry Properly

When not wearing your lapis jewelry, proper storage is essential to prevent scratches and damage. Since lapis is a softer stone, it can be easily scratched by harder materials like metal or other gemstones.

For best results, store your lapis ring or other jewelry pieces in a soft pouch or jewelry box lined with fabric. This will create a protective barrier, minimizing contact with other items. If you own multiple lapis pieces, consider storing them separately to avoid any friction that may lead to scratches or chips.

3. Be Gentle When Cleaning Lapis Jewelry

Cleaning your precious lapis jewelry is necessary to maintain its stunning color and polish. However, harsh cleaning methods can do more harm than good. Avoid the use of chemical cleaners or ultrasonic jewelry cleaners, as the chemicals or vibrations can damage the stone's delicate surface.

Instead, opt for a mild soap and warm water solution. Use a soft cloth or a gentle brush to clean the surface of the lapis ring or other jewelry pieces. Afterward, make sure to thoroughly dry the stone with a soft cloth, ensuring that no moisture remains on the surface. Regular cleaning will help maintain the stone's vibrant blue color and minimize the build-up of oils and dirt.

4. Keep Away from Extreme Temperatures

Another critical aspect of caring for your lapis jewelry is to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. Sudden changes in temperature can cause the stone to crack or fracture. If you wear your lapis ring daily, be mindful of situations where the stone may be exposed to intense heat or cold, such as while cooking or working outdoors in freezing temperatures.

Moreover, it’s essential to avoid direct sunlight for extended periods. Lapis Lazuli, like many other gemstones, can fade if exposed to UV light for too long. If you’re storing your lapis jewelry, make sure it’s kept in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight.

5. Regular Inspection and Professional Care

Though you may follow all these steps, accidents can still happen. It’s a good idea to inspect your lapis jewelry regularly to check for any signs of damage, such as cracks or loose settings. If you notice any issues, take the piece to a professional jeweler who specializes in lapis jewelry for repairs or adjustments.

Periodic professional cleaning can also help restore the luster of your jewelry. A jeweler will be able to polish the stone gently without causing damage and may also reinforce any weak or loose settings. By working with a jeweler, you can ensure that your lapis ring or other lapis pieces are in top condition.

Do’s and Don’ts for Lapis Jewelry Care

To summarize, here’s a quick guide on what to do and what to avoid when it comes to caring for your lapis jewelry:

Do’s:

Store carefully: Always store in a soft pouch or fabric-lined box.

Clean gently: Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth for cleaning.

Keep dry: Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions.

Inspect regularly: Check for cracks, chips, or loose settings.

Seek professional help: Take damaged pieces to a jeweler for repairs.

Don’ts:

Avoid chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic machines.

Avoid long exposure to water: Prolonged exposure can damage the stone.

Avoid extreme temperatures: Protect your lapis from sudden temperature changes.

Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged UV exposure can fade the stone's color.

The Beauty of Lapis Jewelry Deserves Proper Care

Owning lapis jewelry is a privilege that comes with responsibility. The deep blue hues, coupled with the gold-flecked pyrite, make these pieces some of the most beautiful and unique additions to any collection. However, due to its relatively soft nature, lapis jewelry requires special attention and care. By following these tips, you can keep your lapis ring, necklace, or bracelet looking as stunning as the day you first wore it.

Taking care of your precious lapis jewelry will not only preserve its appearance but also ensure that it remains a treasured piece for years, if not generations, to come. So, whether you're new to lapis jewelry or have been a fan for years, these care tips are essential to protecting your investment and keeping your jewelry as beautiful as the day it first caught your eye.

In the end, the more care you give to your lapis, the more its true beauty will shine through.

Method of Wearing Navratans - Correct Procedure

The Method of Wearing Navratans originated from the ancient traditions so that each of these nine gems when worn in combination will only bring good fortunes. To wear them correctly, one has to choose a genuine Navratna set with all the nine stones – Red Coral, Pearl, Ruby, Emerald, Yellow Sapphire, Diamond, Blue Sapphire, Hessonite and Cat’s Eye in the correct order. Usually these are put in a gold or silver ring or in a pendant. The preparation of Navratans should start early on any Monday morning especially when it's on the Shukla Paksha. The ring or the pendant before wearing it should be washed with Ganga Jal and recited along certain mantras to appease the related planets.

What Makes Lab Grown Emerald Necklaces So Unique?

or jewelry connoisseurs, lab-grown emerald necklaces are a unique option because of a number of distinguishing characteristics. With a more moral and environmentally friendly production method, these gorgeous gems have the same vivid green color and clarity as real emeralds. In contrast to traditional mining, lab-grown emeralds are produced in controlled conditions, so there are less contaminants and a smaller environmental impact. Lab-grown emerald necklaces are a desirable choice for both everyday wear and special times because of their attractive appearance, sustainable nature, and affordable price.
