You shouldn’t have broken her.
You made her nothing
but sharp edges and scattered shards.
And now
she will stop at nothing
to make you bleed
with the wounds
that you inflicted.
You created a monster, so a monster she shall be // k.s. (via worthystevie)

She watches his body language soften, though his
body looks nothing even close to soft---and she offers
him a smile, eyes catching on the gaping wound at his
throat, a shiver wracking through her as she wonders how
on Earth, he’s still alive. And then she remembers---he’s not
from E a r t h clearly, so that would make somewhat
more sense.
“Please, I can help you,” she says, taking another step forward
and holding out her hand; a crowd is gathering in her periphery and
she can almost hear Fury’s voice in her head--acquire the damn
target or fall out.
“Come with me---you need to get that wound treated.”
For a dizzying moment that feels like it lasts hours, Roboute is not a Primarch. He is not a Space Marine. He is not a prince of the Imperium of Man and Lord of Macragge. He is not a being that knows no fear, a man that talks and reasons. He is injured, and he is furious. He can feel the poison pounding in his neck, the warm blood seeping down his throat from the open wound left by the tainted hand of Chaos. It would be attempted fratricide, if Roboute still considered Fulgrim a brother. The beast was all that was left of the Primarch of the Emperor’s Children, and now, in his weakened state, Guilliman was little better.
It was only as the woman lifted both of her hands in something akin to surrender, to supplication, that Roboute’s temper slowly began to cool. His breathing was labored now, sweat peppering his face. She wasn’t striking when she had the opening. The woman was either playing a very long con, or meant no harm. Speaking slowly conveyed this even less than speaking normally, but Roboute started taking in in formation again, dissecting every detail. Practicality begged that he consider her no threat. He was lost, he was isolated, and-
Oh. He’d crushed her vehicle. Rude of him.

Easy---Elsa almost laughs at the thought--nothing
ever comes easy, not for her--she glances up at the
newcomer, this woman not much older than her, with
hair like skyfire, and eyes sharp as pine needles, just
as crisp. Elsa pants, fingers clenching in on themselves
because they are never good enough.
“I can’t---a Queen cannot go easy,” she pauses to take
another deep gasp of air, oh sweet air, how hard it can
cut when it dances hand in hand with the cold, how soft....
when Elsa doesn’t force it to be anything but hard,
“Especially not on h e r s e l f,” she pins the woman
with a look and squares her shoulders.
“Who are you? And what is your business here
in the Land of Snow?” her voice drops in octaves
and degrees, the snow around them slows to a standstill
such that it feels like the world has ground to a halt just
to listen to her speak, “I don’t remember hearing we had
envoys today.”
The overwhelming pressure to succeed, the brutal refusal to simply accept one’s limits and talents as is, is a self-cruelty Karin is all too aquainted with. It is with knowing eyes that she regards the otherーthe supposed ICE QUEEN. All she sees is a girl ( a girl like her, fighting a battle that will never result in VICTORY, regardless of how hard she tries ). Barely a beat has passed since the glacial girl’s words, yet Karin has fell victim to reflections and reverie. She thinks of the girl she wasーwho had no power and then suddenly, all of it. To feel life, to restore life, she had been reborn again from DEATH & ASHES, and with what preparation? What help? She, the Phoenix-girl, little Lazarus, had only moved to a darker birdcage and forced to learn ( and isn’t that just a fancy way of saying survive? )
Failure is never an option for girls like them, girls who are forced on thrones built from bones.
Perhaps this small empathy, this sense of kin she feels with this girl, is why her anger fades. A little caring, if mutated from its once pure form, reminiscient of a girl long dead.
“Go easy on yerself. Yer doin’ great.”

“Oh, absolutely terrified,” Elsa says, giggling as she
reaches for the princess’s hands, “I don’t think I’ve ever
felt my heart so eager to be free of my chest!” And she
presses her palm to her chest as if she can still feel it now---
and for a split second, she can, the deafening thundering of
it all---she’d thought it had been a terrible storm, stolen from the
horizon right into the space between her ears, replacing thought
and logic with unadulterated fear.
“It’ll be over before you know it,” Elsa’s voice is soft
and steady, an attempt to sooth the wide-eyed girl,
“And just think of the party after---we can dance the
n i g h t a w a y.”
❝ were you nervous on your coronation day, queen elsa? ❞ they were not far apart in age and her father’s health was declining and soon, she would have to take the crown. she had already been sent on numerous trips to visit dignitaries and other royal families. getting herself aquatinted with the trade negotiations and royal duties. ❝ i mean i’ve always known that i would be queen, it’s just–it’s coming so quickly. ❞

Elsa resists the urge to click her heels against the
glass-paned floors, eyes flickering between der neue Direktor
and the portrait of said director right behind him. She
hikes an eyebrow at his question, grinning like she might
know things he doesn’t although, even statistically speaking,
it’s hardly possible---
“Circumstances arose,” she responds with a blasé kind
of shrug, meeting his gaze with her own, humor fizzling in the
air between them, “surely, you can understand that.”
❛ AGENT ARENDELLE. i see your mission, and the debriefing, went very successfully. ❜ a smirk, coated in a fine sheen of professionalism hiding teeth. a month has passed since his official recommendation as the new DIRECTOR; but of course, varying periods of adjustment were to be expected. ❛ i have to ask again though, was there a specific reason that the vehicle you were assigned was destroyed, and i quote, ‘ beyond functional repair ’ ? ❜

Elsa regards the Prince with a cold look, her lips
thinning into a smile that can only be called
d i p l o m a t i c as she holds up her hands in the
signature Fire Nation greeting, bending her waist----
“I am here for the negotiation of borders, I believe
your sister is the one that invited me here.”
STARTER CALL - @empressium
“ You do not look like someone from the FIRE NATION - what can I help you with? “

Elsa’s smirk is just on the other side of
mischievous---she reaches out her hand
for him to take, “Yes, but everyone can learn.”

“I can appreciate that the heat isn’t pleasant, but turning the foyer into an ice rink isn’t exactly a viable solution. Not all of us can skate.”

Elsa lets her shoulders fall, a smile pressing between
her lips. She reaches for the coffee or for him, or for
s o m e t h i n g, and hopes she can find it---
“All the time,” she says, curling around her cup like it might
keep her grounded--to say it’s been a long day would be the
u n d e r s t a t e m e n t of the year. “The waitresses all
know my name.”
@empressium
“Here,” He returns to his seat opposite her in the booth and sets down her coffee, offering a warm smile as he leans back and takes a sip. “You come to this one very often? It’s nice here.”

Elsa wipes her eyes, the snow already seeping into her
skin, her cheeks turning pink under the snowkisses---she
shakes her head and laughs, “It’s okay---I wasn’t paying
attention to where I was going.” She quirks her eyebrows at
the group before her, heart thudding in her throat.
“Uhm---mind if I join?”
@empressium
❝ Oh, god !!
I’m so sorry !! ❞
A GLARE was shot in the direction that
thrown snowball had been launched from;
a group of YOUNG BOYS unconcerned with
their error her target.
❝ Looks like I got a little too
close to you that one was
meant for me, I’m sorry. ❞

Elsa lights up like a horizon line, bouncing up in her sofa,
smile stretching her face even as she shrugs, “I dunno! What
games do you have? Do you have any two-player ones? So
we can play together---or,” she frowns, tapping her lips in thought
a giddiness welling up in her stomach as she considers the options,
“We can play a racing game! I’m not bad at Mario Kart---”
She fixes him with a bright look, giggling as she
watches his face, “Or we could just play whatever game
is your favorite---not to toot my own horn or anything,” she
clears her throat in dramatic and entirely necessary fashion,
“but I’m pretty good at learning games off the bat.”
A slight frown finds Jibin’s lips. Did he really say that?
What is wrong with him? Usually, social interaction of any
kind is met with immediate trepidation from his stupid brain
and he can barely imagine himself initiating it. Meaning,
she’s full of shit. Or … would be, had he not remembered
that ah, yes, he had actually invited the other to play some
games with him, because he was trying desperately at the
time to make conversation and happened to blurt the first
thing that popped into his head.
Great fucking going, Jibin.
Resigning himself to his fate ( awkward floundering and
critically reviewing every second of their time together later,
probably from his bedroom floor ), he finally puts his phone
away.
‘ Fine. We’ll play a video game. ’ Is he particularly thrilled?
No. Does this show? Of course, but he got himself into this
mess and now he has to try being a person. ‘ Um. Any
preferences? ’
