Her sweet love

A/N: this is for the writing challenge of @heloisedaphnebrightmore and @haracelovestruck . I enjoyed writing this so much, thank you for organizing the event💘

Pairing: Draco Malfoy x reader

Summary: After a lil prank of Y/N's friend, Draco takes care of her.

Warnings: a bit of a prank, a lil drowning but it doesn't happen too much, and too much fluff

Y/N and Emma were walking along side with the Black Lake, chattering away in the mildly cold weather of early November.

"My little brother has this obsession with those Weasley products and ended up spending his entire monthly allowance on puking pastilles." Emma laughed.

"You know, he is going to get money out of you." Y/N says idly, looking at the the clouded canvas of the sky, painted in the shades of greys and dull blue, somehow still looking beautiful.

"He can try."

"He was successful last year." Y/N murmur, pulling the sleeves of her sweater to cover her cold hands.

"That was last year." Emma insisted.

"If you say so." She replies, halting to look at the lake. The lively shades of turquoise was dancing fascinatingly in the waters where the giant squid and merfolks resided.

"You know," said Emma with a notorious twinkle in her brown eyes, "you can take a dip if you want."

Before y/n could have processed a word of her friend, she was in the water, with a force stinging her skin a little. She opened her eyes only to close them again. She pushed her way to the surface, and she gasped for the air.

The chill of the air combined with that of water was enough to freeze. Her teeth chattered, as she squeezed her eyes shut with her mouth gaping to inhale as much oxygen she could.

Emma had her head thrown back, her contagious laughter filling in the empty silence. Emma hunched over, trying to control her giggles, however the attempt was pathetic.

Y/N scowled and swam to the edge. She grasped her friend's ankle and pulled an unsuspecting Emma into the water.

Now it was her turn to laugh as Emma too gasped for air as she came to the surface. Y/N giggles as her furious friend glared at her and splashed water.

The splash war began, both of them laughing as they were practically drowning one another.

"STOP!"

The pair turned to a pair of Slytherin and a Ravenclaw.

"Hi Draco." Y/N smiles at the boy with clenched jaw and his eyes furious but the concern in them made her relax under his stare which would have normally made someone scared.

"Get out of the water, you two." Oscar says, a bit too sternly for their liking.

"Its just some good fun, love." Emma bats her eyelashes innocently at her boyfriend.

"Y/N will get sick," Draco snaps.

"And so will you." Oscar adds.

The girls sighed in frustration as they were pulled out of the water by the help of their friends.

Oscar was fussing over his girlfriend, muttering enchantments that would warm her shivering figure.

While Draco swished his wand, moodily muttering the spell which dried her clothes. She was still quaking with the chill that seemed to bury in her bones.

"Come here, I can warm you up." He mutters, taking her hand and pulling her closer. He took off his warm robes and sweater, leaving himself in a thin shirt.

"You'll get cold, Draco." Y/N pouts.

"You are already quivering," he states. "Arms up."

Y/N reluctantly raises her arms and lets him pull down the warm woolen sweater, and then he wraps her up his robe, checking over her once again.

Y/N was however ecstatic because of the scent that his clothes had. The expensive cologne blended in with cinnamon and apples, the green ones of course, with a touch of parchment was so captivating, and so uniquely him.

"I have told you so many times to not go into the lake when it's cold, but you never listen to me. Now look at you, being so cold." He grumbled, pulling her into his chest and wrapping his arms around her to keep her warm.

She leaned into him, loving how he rubbed his warm hands against her back. His concern made her melt into a puddle of love that was only meant for him, and no one else.

"Ah, someone had a dunk in the lake?" Blaise smirks, walking towards them.

Draco didn't say a word but took his friend's scarf and wrapped it around Y/N's neck.

"OI!"

"Shut it, Zabini." Draco snaps, pulling Y/N closer to himself, taking her cold hands and rubbing them.

"You're still freezing," he grumbles against her cheek, holding her impossibly close to his warm body. He had taken her hands in his and brought near his mouth and was blowing warm air into them, as he rubbed them.

"You don't need to do this, Draco." Y/N pesters, trying to take her hands away so that she can give back the scarf but Draco didn't let her do it.

"Let's get you a hot chocolate." Draco pulls her away from the group to lead her to the castle.

"My bag!" She exclaims, trying to stop him. Draco only twirled his wand in his fingers and flicked it, the bag swiftly coming towards the two of you. He took it and swung it on his shoulders.

Draco noticed how their steps were perectly synchronised, and unknowingly he smiled. With her on his side, he has started admiring little things in life and was slowly starting to appreciate them too.

"Draco?" She asks sweetly.

"Yes, love?" He glances at her.

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

Y/N leaned more into his arms. He was somehow still warm in the windy weather. She had wrapped both her hands around his, letting his body heat bleed into her.

Draco enjoyed holding her this close, and he smiles as he watched her play with the rings that were cladding his slender fingers.

He ignored all the stares towards them and led her to the kitchens. He tickled the pear of the painting and the door opened. He had practically molded his best friend into his side as they entered.

"Master Draco, Mistress Y/N! What can we get you?" The house elves ask, gathering around them.

"Only some hot chocolate, nothing else." Draco said in a dismissive tone.

"Be polite." She whispered into his ear. Draco did nothing but pulled her into a hug, resting his cheek against her wet hair which were air drying themselves.

"I'm sorry if I was mean to you but I can't have you falling sick, sweetheart." He murmurs in her ear, and a shiver ran down her back at their closeness.

"Sorry." She croons into his chest, keeping her blushing face hidden there.

"Don't say that." He whispers back, running his fingers though her hair and untangling some knots. He smiled a little at the warm feeling that was spreading from his chest into his entire body by holding her close.

She gave him the surreal amount of happiness and warmth that he never knew existed. Her smile was enough to make his bad days into good ones.

He remembered seeing her in his second year when he was having a duel with Potter in the middle of the hallway. She ended up being hit by a hex and Draco didn't know why, but he ran to her and made sure she was alright.

From there, their friendship bloomed. It took a while for them to get closer, but after that stage, they have been inseparable. Even Lucius took a liking for her, which was both suprising yet not so surprising.

Y/N was a half blood and a Hufflepuff, which was already guaranteeing her to get in the line of people Lucius hates, but it was easy to love her. She was intelligent and charming, without even trying.

It took a while but Lucius come to terms with her well enough while Narcissa absolutely adored her with everything she has in herself.

While Draco, he was ready to summon universe if that's what it meant to see that winsome smile that invades his thoughts at any second of the day. He found perfection in her imperfections, thoroughly convinced that she is a wonder that somehow has blessed his life, and he loved her with all his heart and soul.

"Sir?" He heard the squeaky voice of the house elf. He parted away from his best friend and took the two mugs, and y/n took hers from his hand before he could have protested.

But subtly it made him happy because he could have an arm wrapped around her waist. They both went out of the kitchens and wordlessly made their way to the Slytherin common room.

Draco said the password and led her inside. He took her to his private dorm, which he got by his father's money request.

Draco opened the dorm for her, letting her go inside first to which she murmur a quick thank you. Draco let her keep their mugs of hot chocolate on his study table while he searched for some warm clothes.

He pulled out a black sweatshirt and joggers of the same colour and handed them to her. She made her way to the washroom and changed into them, folding the hem of the pants twice so that it could fit her waist.

When she came back, Draco had changed into some comfortable clothes and was sitting on the bed, staring at the fire.

She took this moment to admire the masterpiece of the human he is. The fire was making his silky white hair almost sparkle while his deep grey eyes were focused on the fire.

His elbows were on his knees and his hands were clasped together. His whole body was relaxed into the position and he was looking effortlessly glorious.

He was beyond enthralling to her, confident and head strong to his belief though some of his values changed after he met her. She was happy that he grew out of bullying and changed into a boy who was still brooding, but lovely as ever.

Draco's eyes snapped to her figure which was drowning in his sweatshirt. A small smile tugged at his lips as he watched her pad towards him, her cheeks warm with a delightful blush. They wordlessly took their mugs and sat down in front of the fire.

"Would you mind?" Draco asks her, his heart pumping faster as he gestured her to sit in his lap. She smiled a little and sat in his lap, letting his arms wrap around her and cuddle into her small figure.

She took out her wand and accioed her bag that was on the couch. She rummaged through it and took out a packet.

"What's this?" Draco asks in a whisper.

"Mini marshmallows." She answered, taking a handful and putting them in her drink.

"Would you like to try some?" She blinked up at him.

"Sure."

She put in some in his drink too, then packed it up and levitated her bag back to couch. She leaned against his chest, as she stretched her legs.

Draco gingerly tried it, his eyes widening after the sip. "Salazar, this is incredible. Why don't wizards have it?"

"Because muggles are better." She smiled up at him as he narrowed his eyes at her. "Anyway, this is he tiny version of a marshmallow. Usually they're this big." She showed the measurement by her thumb and index finger.

"Why do you like the mini ones then?" Draco asks her, pulling her closer to him.

"Well, when I was little-"

"Was?" Draco interrupts her, raising an eyebrow in amusement.

She narrowed her eyes into a glare, her nose scrunching up as she did so. She got even more annoyed when he smiled at her.

"As much as I love you and respect you, your anger barely intimidates me." Draco chuckles at her.

"I can be very scary." She states.

"You indeed look very intimidating as you hold this cup by both your hands, wearing my clothes that are practically drowning you, as you sit in my lap. I am terrified." He laughs.

She started to get off his lap but his arms wrapped around her waist before she could have done so.

"Noooo." He whined, pulling her impossibly closer and burying his head in her neck, his arms firmly wrapper around her waist. "Don't go, I am sorry, love."

Y/N smiled, this side of Draco was unseen by the world. The one that wanted affection all the time, the side that made her heart flutter in delight whenever it came out when they were alone.

"Draco." She croons, her hand sliding into those silky hair.

He hummed back in response, pressing a kiss on her neck.

"You're sweet, really really sweet." She whispers softly.

"Only to you." Draco states, pulling away and looking into her eyes as his hand slid up, along her side and then cupping her face. His eyes shamelessly fell on her lips and he stared at them, resisting himself the pleasure of devouring her lips.

Y/N heart melted as she watched the boy she loved so hopelessly look at her lips like that. As if he wanted her, just like she wanted him. She nodded at him when he looked at her for permission.

Draco lowered his head and gently brushed his lips against hers, his soul exploding at the gentle touch. He reached out for one of her legs which were sprawled across his lap, and placed it on his other side of the hip and pulled her closer.

He memorised those sinfully addicting lips which made see heaven with closed eyes. The sweetness of her lips due to hot chocolate was unparalleled and all he wanted was to kiss her till the sun couldn't shine.

Y/N mewled against his lips when he tilted his head and kissed her deeply. She was getting drunk off the kiss which had her head spinning. Her hands fisted the fabric of his sweatshirt, trying her best not to moan into the kiss.

Her head was getting heavier with pleasure and she pulled away for oxygen, resting her head against his chest, her eyes closed as she panted. She was still clutching his sweatshirt for some reason she neither knew nor cared to find out.

"You just kissed me." She awed, opening her eyes to look at the boy who was already looking down at her with disbelief in his eyes, but the way he held her so endearingly made her know that he was only shocked due to the bliss.

"I think so."

She smiled at him. "And you are not apologizing for once."

"No, sorry," he breathed, burying his head in her hair. "Sorry for not doing this sooner."

She smiled as she lifted his head, cupping that beautiful face she loved so much. "Don't apologise." She whispers, gently rubbing her thumbs against his jaw. He leaned into her touch, a soft sigh escaping his oh-so-kissable lips.

"I love you," she croons, making him snap his head towards her in surprise.

Those beautiful words that he so longed to hear from her were finally said and Draco couldn't feel anything but happiness that bursted into his chest and echoed in his bones.

His tongue went dry when tried to say those words back. He couldn't, he just couldn't.

So he leaned in and kissed her again, making her roll her eyes back into her sockets as he kissed her deeper, more hungrily as if he had been starving for her presence for eternities and now she is finally her.

She smiled into the kiss, not being able to resist to do so. She knew saying those words will be tough for him, but she was happy.

She didn't need to hear something she felt every single second they spent time together.

He always looked out for her, making sure she is comfortable with whatever is happening around them or otherwise it had to change. Whether it was the situation or the people, Draco dealt with everyone who dared to upset her in terrifying manner.

He always held her close to him, as if she was the stars to his sky. He walked her to every class even if it meant sprinting down half a dozen of stairs to reach his class within 2 minutes, he was ready to do it.

That overwhelming urge to make her happy showed her that he loved her unconditionally. His heart was hers and hers only for this life and all lives to come.

Draco parted away, panting. He smiled back at her, his heart fluttering when he saw that winsome smile stretched across her lips. He leaned in and kissed her smile, whispering how much he loved her without uttering a word.

He picked her up as he stood up and carried her to his bed. He laid her down, and hovered over her.

"My sweet girl." He whispered, pressing tiny loving kisses all over her face which made her giggle loudly, wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders.

"Stay the night?" He asks her, pressing a kiss on her nose and then leaning away just a little.

"Okay." She whispers.

They drowned each other in love, holding onto each other as letters of a word, clinging onto each other to have some meaning.

More Espresso, Less Despresso

Pairing: Mick Mars X Reader

Warning: none

Summary: Reading and sipping coffee when another caffeine enthusiast joins you in a lovely café.

It was a bleak, gray day made for books and tea. Well, rather coffee. Drinking coffee helped Mick bearing all the shit his bandmates did 24/7. After some rehearsals, he grabbed his leather jacket and headed to his favorite café nearby. It was an adorable, little place that felt like heaven. It was a family business and he knew the owners of the café and he occasionally had small talks with them. David, the owner, was quite an extrovert person, he always told stories or jokes for the customers, making their day a little bit better.

When he stopped in front of the facility he observed it from outside. He could already smell the scent of caffeine making him feel awake and relaxed. The bell rang above the door as Mick entered the café. Only a few of the tables were taken and it was quiet, something Mick appreciated after playing loud music and listening to the Terror Twin's screaming for hours.

"Well, well, well. Look who has the wind blew here?!" David stated after he noticed the guitarist waiting at the counter. David was a kind man, the father of this family. His silver beard already started to reach his chest.

"Hey, David. How are you?" Mick asked leaning on the counter and observing the people sitting at the tables. Couples, businessmen, ladies spending their lunchtime from the office. Then his eyes wandered to the back of the room. A girl was sitting there with a book in her hand and a huge cup of coffee in front of her still untouched.

"Nothing extra, just the usual. Customers coming and going." David continued but Mick wasn't paying attention. He was gazing at the girl. You. "Anyway, imagine that I finally managed to buy that grill the other day. It's marvelous." David said. He frowned noticing that Mick wasn't paying attention. He followed the guitarist's gaze and smirked. "Mick!"

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. So what did you say?" Mick rubbed the back of his head and took the coffee in his hand before placing the money in David's palm. "Hey, do you know her?" He cleared his throat.

"She turned up here first about a week ago and since then she comes here every day asking the same drink and always bringing another book with her. If you ask me, it's fascinating." One of David's talent was observing people and also remember them. "Though she is pretty shy. I have already tried to talk to her many times but she wasn't really talkative, ya know."

"Well, thanks, buddy." Mick glanced at the old man and nodded thanking the information and the coffee. Instead of taking his usual spot, he made his way towards you.

As for you, you were deep in the forest helping Robin Hood invading the guards of the king who collected the gold from the poor. Robin just shot his last arrow when a silhouette covered all the light you needed for reading.

"I'm sorry but can you stand away? You are covering all the lights." You murmured not leaving the page you were on. Mick slowly stepped aside and took the seat in front of you. "Can I help you?" You asked glancing over the book.

"Umm. Actually, no." Mick was searching for the words. To be honest, he didn't understand how he had the ability to speak to you. He wasn't a big chick magnet like Vince.

"Then...?" You looked around to see that there were plenty of empty seats. He just casually drank like you weren't even sitting there. You sighed and gathered all your strength to get back to the forest but curiosity took over and you couldn't help but peaked over the top of the book and hid behind it whenever the stranger looked in your direction.

Moments passed before you put down the book and wrapped your hands around the now cold cup of coffee. You may looked uninterested, but oh boy, your mind was racing like a machine. Who this person could be, what could be his intentions.

"So, what are you drinking?" You asked breaking the silence between the two of you. He tilted his head with an arching brow glancing at his coffee. He cleared his throat.

"Espresso, black like my soul as the saying goes." He chuckled and took another sip from the cup. "And what about you? You look like someone with a brighter mind."

"Yeah, I have heard of that. Umm, cappuccino. I don't think, there is anything that rhymes with it so-it's lame." You pouted staring in front of you.

"Hey, what did you say about my coffee? That it is lame?!" David exclaimed from the bar. You immediately regretted what you said previously and your cheeks were now crimson.

"Don't worry, David. It's all good." Mick calmed the owner down and shook his head. "He is worse than any FBI agent if you ask me." You didn't say anything, your heart was still racing. From the corner of your eye, you could see a half-smile on his face making you blush even harder. "Anyway, I'm Mick." He held his hand and you shook it lightly and pulled your shaking hand back right after.

"I'm (Y/N)." You smiled but deep inside you were screaming like a baby. Why this person just sat in front of you and wanted to spend his time willingly with you? He didn't know a thing of you yet he was staring at you as if you were some miracle. And you were, well, that's what your parents always told you.

"So, I now know that you like coffee and you prefer books to movies-" He stated while glancing at your closed book on the table. "What are you doing in your free time? I mean, I don't want to disturb you or anything. If you want, I will leave you alone and forget what happened." Mick thought he totally went crazy walking to you and just starting a conversation like you were interested in him. He rose from his chair when you grabbed his wrist making him stop.

"No, wait. You are not bothering me at all. You can stay if you want." You murmured while you hid a lock of hair behind your ear. You weren't used to this and you didn't want to destroy it. He seemed nice so you thought you would give it a shot.

"Really?" Mick asked in true surprise as he sat back and leaned on the table on his elbows.

"What about you? Why are you here?" You asked. Mick wasn't sure if he should tell you his true job, he might scare you away. A wild rocker against a bookworm. Didn't sound good, at least in his head.

"I had to run away from-" He sighed. "From my friends. They can be pretty annoying sometimes and I needed some quiet moments here. And you?" He looked into your eyes making your stomach do a backflip.

"Well, I and my family moved here recently and this is the first café I found. And I'm still here. I love the atmosphere, the coffee, and the quiet. And the fact that I can be alone-" He chuckled along with you as you realized what you had just said and what were the circumstances.

"Sorry, for ruining that fact." He smirked.

Hours passed with chatting, changing ideas, telling stories and jokes, drinking coffee, and getting to know each other. Mick couldn't remember when was the last time he had a decent conversation with a smart and marvelous person like while you couldn't recall if you had such a good time ever. He had a similar way of thinking, whatever was the topic and he was handsome. Black hair was always your type and those eyes, those blue eyes looked like the deep blue ocean and you couldn't help but lost in it.

"Sorry for interrupting, doves, but I have to close soon," David stated with a little bit of disappointment as he noticed how wonderful were the both of you.

"Alright, thanks for telling." Mick glanced up at the owner who nodded and left. "It looks like we have to go." He hummed with tight lips while he was drumming on the table with his fingers.

"Yeah, it does. Incredible, how time flies when you have a good time." You sighed and stood up from your chair, adjusting your hair and back which popped loudly as you were sitting for a pretty long time. You put on your coat and scarf and grabbed your book and held it close to your chest.

Mick wanted this conversation to last forever. He didn't want to go back to his bandmates, neither travel to another city. He wanted to stay and be with you. Drink coffee and talk about everything, listening to music together, have a walk in the park nearby and just be together. You might only be with each other for hours but it seemed like ages. He felt like he could tell you his deepest secrets willingly. He felt something. Something from long ago.

You adjusted your scarf after you stepped outside seeing it was already dark and it was quite windy. Mick shoved his hands into his pockets after he closed the door and shivered from the chilly weather.

"So, where do you live?" Mick inquired hoping you would think he was a psycho.

"Just a few blocks from here. And I think I should go. I'm sure my mom is freaked out even I'm 23. Some things just don't change, I guess." You snickered.

"Indeed." He added. "(Y/N)?"

"Yes?"

"When can I see you again?" He bit his lip down hoping he will be able to see you at least once more before going on the next stop of the tour.

"Tomorrow, maybe?" You thanked the angel it was too dark to see your crimson red face.

"That would be nice." His lips curved into a smile. "Then see you tomorrow."

"Bye, Mick." You gave him a last smile before you crossed the street, holding your book for dear life.

thjkhsdhjk the story they came up with is literally how every child played with barbie dolls and doll houses

(children are so dramatic also why did we all have the same childhood)

oooh mystery about the past

their dad is so dramatic now i know where Anna and Elsa get it from

four spirits: Earth Wind Air Water how original

(everything changed when the fire nation attacked)

(okay but while their dad was telling the story about the northedral (???) i was totaling believing this is where Elsa got her powers from)

THEIR DAD WAS SAVED BY THE VOICE

(but Elsa was born with powers so her mom is totally magical)

where the nORTH WIND MEEEEETS THE SEEEAAAAA

i love their mom omg i love this song also

(okay but at this point i was like??? did their mom save their dad)

ELSA IN PURPLE I LOVE HER

Elsa being startled and sticking herself to the railing with ice is comedic gold

ANNA’S HAIR I LOVE IT

why is Olaf’s never-ending existential crisis the most relatable thing in this movie

also i love this song about things never changing

hi the line about a stone wall never falling??? FORESHADOWING

KRISTOFF LOVES HER I LOVE HIM HE IS SO PURE

HE HAS A RING

Elsa singing about being afraid of change but seizing the day?? CHARACTER GROWTH

Arendelle flag will always fly??? FORESHADOWING

family game night??? i fucking love it

Olaf shouldn’t be allowed to play charades that way Anna is right

but Olaf imitating Elsa??? iconic

Elsa playing charades is me playing charades

THE VOICE

TELL ANNA ELSA

oooh Kristof honey don’t,, don’t do it like that,,, honey

if Elsa is comforted by their mom’s scarf where was their mom’s scarf in the first movie??

Anna singing Elsa to sleep????? so pure

THE VOICE (AGAIN!)

INTO THE UNKNOOOOOWWWWWWWN

i love this song

‘Everyone I’ve ever loved is here within these walls’ so she loves Kristof???? good me too

where does Kristof sleep?

THE SPIRITS!!! HER ICE IS SHOWING HER THE SPIRITS RIGHT????

oh its the part with the ice suspended in air from the trailer

EARTH AIR FIRE AND WATER

so um the fire went out and its windy and they’re going to the cliffs???? okay???

ummm Elsa did you awake the spirits on purpose??? did you know what you were doing?? you never said it was an accident????

Elsa you cant go alone you’re team has to go with you or else its not much of a movie now is it Elsa. don’t be selfish share some screen time

i just love their outfits so much i want to be a princess in Norway please and thanks

Olaf and his fun facts are literally me

ELSA’S ICE CASTLE THERE SHE IS i wonder if they ever go there. is it a vacation home

water has memory FORESHADOWING

‘Elsa and Olaf are asleep,,, whatcha wanna do?’ UM WHAT

’Sven, keep us steady’ UMMMMM WHAT

THIS IS A PG MOVIE I WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE NEXT TO MY TEN YEAR OLD COUSIN THANKS DISNEY

oh Kristof honey

oh no Anna he didnt mean it like that

Kristof stop just stop

ooooh the voice is back

‘Kristof stop’ ‘Good idea’ I’m dead

i don’t really remember what happens in between them stopping and them finding the mist if anything but THE MIST

oooh they’re locked in. nice

okay so wind. thats fun.

the wind spirit is v smart because she knows which one is Elsa

her name is Gale and i love her

hello water has memory

their father being saved by a young girl??? it’s their mom

okay so the northuldra (i googled it) begin to attack? or advance at least

ARENDELLE GUARDS

okay but lieutenant whats his name can get it

they’re frenemies

Olaf’s recap of the first Frozen is comedic gold i want him and Luis from Ant-Man to get together

i don’t really remember what happens at this part but: Elsa and Anna learn that their mom saved their dad (CALLED IT), their mom is northuldra (KINDA CALLED IT) and everyones been trapped in the mist since their grandfather was killed

(which that story is fishy but i don’t think king Elsa & Anna’s dad would lie so????)

OH WAIT FIRE SPIRIT HAPPENED BEFORE ELSA AND ANNA LEARNED ABOUT THEIR MOM

AND OLAF’S SONG OMG

samantha?

(that part was so simple yet so funny omfg)

olaf: “this will all make sense when i am older” all the adults in the room: :/

also notice how Elsa is mindful enough to keep the fire spirit away from the northuldra’s homes??? like i love her???

I LOVE HIM i think his name is Brunie but i don’t know how the people at the Disney Store came to that conclusion

oh also Kristof and Sven run in to save the reindeer but Anna is only worried about Elsa??? idk maybe she knows Kristof can take care of himself and knows that Kristof knows when it becomes too dangerous but Elsa is going to try to stop the threat until she physically can’t and at that point it may be too late okay i get it

(okay but if they’ve been trapped and nothing can get in or out what do they eat??? like theres a lot more northuldra than arendelle guards so do they have designated areas they’re allowed to go in?? what do they do with the people who died?? probably bury them)

(also some if them are born in there and they’ve been in for decades so a generation maybe the beginning of the next one but how many of them are related????)

Kristof has a new friend and I’m so glad they’re not fighting over Anna

(take that toxic masculinity)

HES GONNA HELP HIM PROPOSE I LOVE IT

Reindeers are better than people (cont’d.)

the following are my favorite parts/lines from Lost In The Woods

that guitar riff (?) at the very beginning? sexy

“you had to go and of course its always fine”

because Kristof loves Anna and knows that Anna loves him and they can do different things and still be in love and he doesn’t have to constantly be over her and controlling what she does

(take that toxic masculinity part TWO)

OKAY BUT Kristof saying its fine while simultaneously worrying that he’s losing Anna is absolutely breaking my heart

NORTH IS SOUTH RIGHT IS LEFT WHEN YOU’RE GONE

Kristof: “and i don’t know what path you are on” me: :((((

I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS A QUESTION OF WHETHER

WHO AM I???? IF IM NOT YOUR GUUUYYY?????

WHERE AM I???? IF WE’RE NOT TOGETHEEEERRRRRRR??????? FOREEEEVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR

NOW I KNOW YOU’RE MY TRUE NORTH CAUSE I AM LOST IN THE WOODS

UP IS DOWN DAY IS NIGHT WHEN YOU’RE NOT THERE

YOU’RE MY ONLY LANDMARK SO IM LOST IN THE WOODS

WONDERING IF YOU STILL CARE

BUT ILL WAIT FOR A SIGN

(FOR A SIGN)

(peep the Queen reference)

THAT I’M YOUR PATH CAUSE YOU ARE MIN

UNTIL THEN IM LOST IN THE WOODS

this concludes my favorite parts/lines from Lost In The Woods

every time i type Lost In The Woods I wanna type Lost Into The Woods

okay SO

ELSA AND THE WATER HROSE THEY SAVE ARENDELLE SYDJHASDJKFHSDA

the Arendelle citizens literally are so hilarious to me all they know is: the spirits are mad and all the heirs to their thrones went on a dangerous journey to save their kingdom, with no guards to protect them, then a tidal wave comes rushing towards their homes and suddenly their Queen who has always been quiet, modest, and reserved comes riding in on a fucking water horse in a boss ass outfit with her hair down and saves the kingdom. like???? imagine being on that cliff??? and all they do is clap???? I’m so dead

poor Anna :((( but Kristof is doing his best to comfort him like i love him

ELSA GO TO HER ANNA GO

THEY’RE CRYING CAUSE THEYRE SO HAPPY KJDASDHSJKHFJKSAD

ARENDELLE IS SAVED ANNA ITS OKAY

OLAF IS SAVED ANNA ITS OKAY

KRISTOF PROPOSED IN THE DORKIEST WAY BUT ANNA’S REACTION WAS THE CUTEST I LOVE IT

(WATER HAS MEMORY)

ELSA STAYS AND ANNA IS QUEEN

CUT TO ANNA’S CORONATION AND THE NEW STATUE AND THE ENCHANTED FOREST IS ICE NOW AND ELSA HAS A WATER/ICE HORSE AND GALE HELPS ANNA AND ELSA COMMUNICATE AND THE ROCK GIANTS ARE NICE AND BRUNIE IS STILL THE CUTEST AND ANNA AND ELSA STILL HAVE FAMILY GAME NIGHT

(okay but did anyone else find it odd that Elsa didn’t go to Anna’s coronation)

(also the Northudral are just totally fine with living in ice and snow and cold now too??? idk i guess Elsa asked first but whatever its not like they can say much she’s the fifth spirit so)

Olaf wearing clothes has me dead

Anna: tells Kristof she likes him “better in leather” me: when does he wear… leather :O (Anna’s freaky yo)

final thoughts: Amazing movie, the constant shade of Hans was absolute gold, Kristof is so pure, Anna and Elsa’s relationship is so amazing, everyone’s character growth is absolutely amazing

if you read all of this, bless you child I’m so sorry it was so long

#IM SORRY OKAY #thank you for coming to my ted talk #theres so many other things I've missed but i saw it last week and i just #i cant #frozen 2 #frozen 2 spoilers #frozen spoilers

autumnal asks : all of it. Titeplait XD

I am on my phone, it took me like FOREVER to type that XD but thank you sister, I had a lot of fun answering these questions !

1. what is your favorite autumn scent?

The smell of fallen leaves, the smell of cold days to come.

2. would you rather go through a corn maze or go pumpkin picking?

Pumpkin picking, I've never done that ! 🎃

3. what is your favorite halloween candy ?

I don't know if it's a very Halloween candy and I don't know the English word for that but Pommes d'amour are a favorite of mine. I don't like very sugary stuff anymore but anything with caramel in it will make me happy.

4. favorite autumn holiday?

As if you don't know which one ! XD it's not a formal holiday but Samhain for sure.

5. rainy,foggy autumn days or cold,sunny autumn days?

I'll take a whole season of rainy,foggy days over any sunny summer day. Anytime. I love the winter sun though.

6. favorite horror movie to watch on halloween?

I am not a huge horror movie fan, I don't like modern horror. I find it lazy and relying on jump scare. but I like stuff with a creepy vibe and specific ambiance. Most of the time I don't watch movies on halloween, but i'd pick a classic like some Tod Browning's Dracula !

7. do you like raking leaves?

Yes but I am so clumsy believe me you don't want to be near me if I am yielding a rake !

8. do you have any special autumn traditions? what are they?

I put decorations in my flat and make space for a second small altar, season themed. I pour a glass of whiskey, put it there with a though for dead relatives. (It was my late grandfather favorite drink, as well as wine... Did someone in the background say ''social drinking problem'' ?)

9. do you like carving pumpkins?

I've never done that, I'd like to try someday.

10. combat boots or cardigans?

My everyday shoes : Combat boots. But why not both ?

11. yellows,reds and browns or purples,blacks and oranges?

purples,blacks and oranges

12. favorite autumn drink?

Semi-dry apple cider - or sweet cider if I drink it while eating a cake or a crepe with it because 4 heures is the most important meal in my day (I know it's not autumn specific, I just love cider !). But it's such a comforting drink after a stroll in the forest or along the coast on a windy day ! Something special I like to prepare in autumn is hot apple juice with spices in it !

13. do you like pumpkin spice flavored things ?

I do not like pumpkin spice flavored things... I have pumpkin spice flavor running in my blood !

14. favorite type of pie ?

Apple pie or tarte bourdaloue

15. do you have any special halloween traditions? what are they?

I put Halloween themed decorations a few weeks before and launch my Gothic themed playlist, or a Type O Negative album. If there is a party I get ready while listening to it (more like 50% getting ready, 50% awkward dancing). If I have nothing planned I stay home (sometimes in my best outfit or most dramatic dresses even if I am alone because why not ?), have a nice cup of cider and read creepy books : Poppy Z Brite, Edgar Allan Poe, or I go full Requiem Knight Vampire and re-read my comics collection (first edition, the apple of my eyes !)

16. halloween parties or giving out candy to trick or treaters?

Both but Halloween parties if my friends are organizing something.

17. hayrides or campfires?

Campfires.

18. describe your ideal autumn day?

Foggy morning. A long walk in the afternoon and a hot drink once I am back home and then reading or writing curled up in a soft plaid with music in the background while a good meal is simmering.

19. coffee or hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate !

20. alcoholic or non alcoholic apple cider?

Wait, is non alcoholic apple cider a real common thing, like sparkling apple juice, but different ? Is that like non alcoholic beer ? I am so confused ! I just discovered another world.

21. what is your go to autumn outfit(s) ?

I can put my favorite clothes again without dying because of a heatstroke : velvet dresses and light jackets.

My favorite one consists in a velvet black dress with a pointy white collar, a bow and long flared sleeves, lace pair of tighs and boots. If it's a bit cold I'll put a short jacket or cape on it, or the Holy Silver Perfecto.

22. do you wear scarves?

Yes. My favorite ones are my Racenclaw scarf when it's really cold and a black and white shawl with a skull pattern. It's worn out as hell but my father bought it for me at a motorcycle exhibition so it's linked with a good memory !

23. describe your dream autumn date ?

If someone is okay with the idea of spending time with me during my typical ''ideal autumn day'', it's my ideal autumn date ! Nothing fancy ! But for something more ''special'', a long stroll, a stop at a bookstore or record shop, then sharing a snack in a cozy tearoom or sipping a good beer in a pub !

24. scary stories around a camp fire or getting lost in a corn maze with someone ?

Both sound good. I have plenty of true crime/serial killer facts to take part in that ! But on the other hand I can be a scaredy cat plus, above all, I have a wild imagination and after hearing/telling scary stories I'll be startled by the tiniest noise (with the bonus high-pitched-cry). My street cred' won't survive it ! I mean, the corn maze can also be creepy but not in the same way (plus I guess interesting things can happen in there if you go with a special someone 😏).

25. black cats or bats?

Did I make you chose between chocolate and litterature ?! WHY ARE YOU TEARING ME APPART LIKE THAT ?!

...Lilith is a black cat so if I really must choose I'll say black cats. But I have love for all the cats in the world. And every single bat has my support.

26. do you decorate for autumn? what is it like?

I like to decorate. I put candles and soft lights everywhere, pick-up fallen leaves and pine cones I find pretty and put that where I can. Also, kitschy Halloween decor and a lot of pumpkin shaped stuff !

27. vampires or witches?

Witches.

28. do you collect crystals?

The corvid in me yells ''Yes. Give me all the pretty/shiny/odd rocks !''

29. do you like cold weather?

I like it a lot. No, I love it.

30. what was your favorite autumn activity as a kid?

I grew up in a French oversea territory so the seasons were not the same. There is no ''autumn'' there ! My favorite memories from that time of the year are linked with Halloween when I was celebrating it (I was a loner and still am so I was also really happy when I just read stories from my most frightening books alone in my bedroom) : finding a good costume idea, finding stuff to make it real, trick or treating with friends and telling scary stories while eating our loot.

Neighbours AU Part 5 First Date

Lucas is a young, exhausted musician who just tries to relax, while Eliott is the overexcited, dubstep loving artist who lives next door.

Aka Lucas confronts his annoying neighbour who turns out to be gorgeous

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

Thursday 16:21

Lucas was at Yann’s place with the boys, drinking mostly water and eating pizza. They were obviously very curious about what happened last night, so Lucas tried his best to remember that messy chaos. He told them about getting basically shitfaced, which they already suspected, then about the guy he started making out with, and of course it was Yann giving him the disapproving father look for doing something so reckless. Then he finished his speech with Eliott heroic arrival.

“After that I really don’t remember anything. I don’t know if I threw up on him or in my apartment at all, I don’t know where he slept, because he was in my kitchen when I woke up...” he explained and looked at his friends. All of them were really invested in his story, like it was the best gossip they ever heard. Lucas sighed. “Any questions?”

“Didn’t you say he has a girlfriend?”

“So he slept at your place?”

“What happened this morning?”

“Is he still in your apartment?”

All those sudden questions came right into Lucas’ face and he didn’t had the time to answer them, cause his phone was buzzing in his pocket. He excused himself for a minute, getting up from the floor where he was sitting and walking to the window, picking up. It was an unknown number.

“Hello?”

“Lucas, am I interrupting?” said a really soft voice from the other side of the line. Lucas’ heart skipped a beat, just hearing Eliott was enough for him to feel better. He smiled like an idiot.

“How did you get my number?” he asked, leaning to the wall as he looked out of the window.

“I have very special skills.” the other boy replied and Lucas could hear his annoying grin forming on his face. “So, am I interrupting?” he asked. “I tried to go to your place, but it looks like you’re not here.” he explained. Lucas felt guilty and happy at the same time. He totally forgot to tell Eliott that he will spend a few hours with his friends, not like he owed him any explanations, but it was really sweet of Eliott wanting to meet up.

“I’m with my friends right now, but we can meet up a bit later if you want to.” he offered with a soft smile. He already missed Eliott, though they were together a couple hours ago.

“Sounds cool. We should grab a coffee.”

“Coffee sounds good.” Lucas said. He wished Eliott to be there with him, playing with his hair like in the morning. He just got shivers just by thinking about that moment. He never felt anything like this before, Eliott was really special.

“So... in an hour maybe? I still gotta finish some sketches for this project, but after that I’m free all day.” he said with a little excitement in his voice, that warmed up Lucas’ chest.

“Yeah, okay. Let’s meet up in front of the building, okay?”

“Sure, see you then.” he said and hung up. Lucas put away his phone and turned to his friends, being surprised that all three of them were watching him like he was some sort of rare animal. Basile kept chewing on pizza, but the others were staring at him, mouth slightly open. It was Yann who broke the awkward silence.

“Dude, I’ve never seen you being so smooth before.” he said impressed. “I mean with Sara and Chloé you were smooth, but this is way more different.”

“You really fucking like this guy, don’t you?” Arthur asked, his lips starting to form a grin. Lucas sighed and sat back down to the floor, grabbing a slice of pizza.

“It’s nothing serious, we are just... flirting with each other.” he finished his sentence a bit unsure, since he couldn’t really describe the thing they had between each other. It was like there were special magnets inside their bodies that only reacted to each other, pulling them closer with sheer force. When Eliott was with him, he felt safe, he felt like he was his true self and could tell anything to him without being afraid.

“Just flirting?” Arthur asked mockingly.

“Can we drop the topic now?” Lucas sighed, shoving the pizza into his face, enoying every flavor on it. It was relieving to eat something delicious after Eliott’s horrible try to cook this morning.

Thursday 17:14

Lucas was tired, his friends were obviously nice, caring and funny, but they could be too much at once, especially when they wanted to know something. He tried to tell them what happened in the morning as short as possible, because he kinda wanted to keep things to himself, like the way Eliott looked at him, his soft touches, the almost kiss and then his forehead kiss before he left. The feelings were so overwhelming, he felt like his heart would burst out of his chest when he sees Eliott again.

He got off the bus, walking towards the building he was living in, he was listening to some music through earphones, trying to close out the world and his thoughts of Eliott. He was everywhere in his head, which wasn’t too bad, but Lucas needed time to breathe, which was really hard when you keep thinking of your crush.

Eliott was sitting on a bench in front of the apartment, looking at his phone. He fought back the urge to text Lucas. It was a hard thing to do, but he was successful in the last 20 minutes since he was sitting there. He finished his job kinda quickly, so after he couldn’t find himself anything to do in his home, he decided to sit in the sunshine, enjoying the warmth, while waiting for his adorable neighbor to finally come home.

He noticed him from far away, Lucas was wearing black jeans and a navy blue jacket with a giant, grey scarf in his neck. Eliott didn’t even realize that the weather was windy, he wasn’t cold at all, even if he was wearing jeans, a shirt and a warm sweater, He got up, smiling brightly when he saw that Lucas noticed him, putting away the earphones while walking.

“Hey!” he said happily when Lucas was close enough to hear.

“Hey!” Lucas said, he smiled softly. Eliott was really attractive even in sunshine, his hair was all over the place like always, but it looked much more lighter colored in the sunlight than in the apartment. “How are you?”

“I’m good, finished my project now, so everything is fantastic.” Eliott said, taking a step towards Lucas. “Shall we go?” he asked, trying to fight back the urge to touch Lucas, failing miserably. His hands moved before he could think, slowly stroking away some stray hair from the other’s eyes. It was a short moment, but both of them took a sharp breath, not moving for a half minute. Then Lucas, as the brave, chaotic gay boy he is grabbed Eliott’s hand, intertwining their fingers.

“Yeah, let’s go.’ he said with a confident smile, as he saw how happily Eliott looked at their hands.

Thursday 18:46

After their “date” in the coffee shop, Lucas and Eliott went out to the park for a romantic walk. It started to get dark, but not too much. The air was much colder than it was earlier, so they were holding each others hands, while they hide their free hands in their pockets to keep them warm. Since it was the middle of the week and also kinda late, the boys were almost alone in the park.

They talked about so many things in the last few hours, Eliott told Lucas how they were together with Lucille for years, then they decided to end the relationship, because neither of them were happy, but they stayed friends, because they knew one another better than anyone.

Lucas talked about his hard years at high school, trying to figure out what’s wrong with him, before accepting his sexuality. He told Eliott how hard it was for him to come out, that not everything went smooth like in the movies, but his friends were just really supportive, helping him through the tough days. It was heartwarming to remember the reaction of Basile and Arthur. Also the enthusiasm of Daphné and the girls. He was lucky to have such good friends around him.

They arrived home late, Eliott’s nose and cheeks were red because of the cold outside, but it made him look kinda cute. Lucas took off his scarf as soon as they stepped into the building. Now they were standing on the hallway, in front of their doors, not knowing what to do. Neither of them wanted to leave, this was just too good to end.

“So, this is where we say Good night.” Eliott said after long minutes of silence. He had to say something, he couldn’t just walk inside the apartment with Lucas.

“I don’t wanna say Good night yet.” Lucas said seriously, playing with the scarf in his hands. His face felt warm because of the blush that appeared on it. He couldn’t say anything else, but this was more than enough.

Eliott only hesitated for a few seconds before he pulled Lucas closer by his waist, pressing his lips on his gently. The kiss started off softly, Lucas wrapped his arms around Eliott’s neck, standing on his tiptoes to make the position comfortable. They were playing for minutes before Eliott started to lick Lucas’ lips, asking him to open it. That was more than enough, Lucas slowly opened his mouth to let Eliott’s greedy and wild tongue inside.

The kiss became much more intense and before Lucas could even realize it, Eliott pushed him to the door of his own apartment, holding his waist strongly. His fingers were wandering under the jacket, touching Lucas’ skin. It was hard to focus his thoughts when such an attractive person tried to baisically fuck him with his clothes on in the middle of the hallway. Lucas played with Eliott’s hair, enjoying the wild dance their tongue was doing at the moment, also enjoying the long, cold fingers touching his back and stomach.

Finally Lucas had the strength to pull his hands away from Eliott’s hair, breaking their kiss with a soft smile. Eliott looked at him like a lost puppy. Their lips were red and swollen, but damn if his neighbour didn’t look hot like this. Hair even more messy than usual, thanks to Lucas’ wandering fingers.

“You wanna sleep at my place?” he asked suddenly with all the bravery he had. Eliott smiled like the cute angel he was, stroking Lucas’ cheek, kissing his lips again.

“Yes, of course.” he said happily, planting another quick kiss on those swollen lips. “I wouldn’t miss the chance.”

“Okay.” Lucas mumbled, unable to form normal sentences when the tall boy was being so damn charming. He managed to open the front door before they started to make out again, much more wildly now.

Their way to the bedroom was chaotic as their tried to walk, kiss and undress at the same time. Sometimes they giggled at how stupidly they must look like. When they finally made it to Lucas’ bed, they were only wearing shirts and briefs. Their hands were everywhere on each other, taking in everything, like they only have limited time to enjoy each others company, while in fact they had all the time in the world.

Ch. 9 It’s A Surprise

Ch. 8

After the death of his father, Azriel is forced to go back to the one place he swore he’d never return to. But he finds himself quite literally face to face with his past, one that he had not let himself think of since he’d left.

*I’m using the same name I gave Lucien’s mom in Where There are Shadows. It’s just easier for me that way.

Ch 10

Eight days of Christmas.

That’s what I promised Elain. It was harder to pull off than I thought it would be considering I had to physically leave the apartment and talk to people to get it done. Rhys and Cassian had already started betting that I would give up before the day was out, but after I finished talking to Emerie it wasn’t that bad. Most of the shop owners remembered my mother, and Devlon was still around. He was all too happy to help- much to my surprise.

I left Lucien for last. He was at one of his offices in the nicer side of town. I ran into Vassa on the way in and she seemed just as surprised to see me as I was to see her.

“You haven’t changed a bit,” she said with a smile.

“You look beautiful, Vassa,” I said, feeling stupid as hell.

She laughed. “I feel like shit, so I appreciate that.”

“Is Lucien still here?”

“Yeah. I was just bringing him lunch. I’m going out with his parents. They want to work on the nursery.”

“Right… Well, since I have you here, I wanted to ask you something.”

Lucien was holding a sandwich in one hand and had his phone in the other when I was led to his office.

“Have a seat, my dad just sent me a picture of a crib and I swear he better be joking.”

I chuckled at that. “Our parents are going to stay with Feyre and Rhys for a while… I have a feeling they’re going to move in.”

Lucien sighed. “They’re using your holiday as an excuse to stay longer. We’re not Illyrian, but hey, what’s eight more days of Christmas?”

Lucien looked happy, despite his complaining. He set his phone down and reached for a plate of rice and korma.

“Want some?” he asked.

“No, thank you. Elain probably has like four new recipes waiting for me to try when I get back.”

“Does she know you’re here?”

I shook my head. “It’s a surprise.”

“So, how can I help?”

“I have the rest of the week covered, but our family leaves in the morning and I wanted tonight to be as close to how we celebrated it as kids as possible.”

Lucien smiled. “I remember… That sounds great, Azriel. Vassa would love it, honestly. Any excuse to cook for an army.”

“She gets off work around six or seven and I know she’ll never say no to a walk. Especially with her sisters.”

“I like that idea. And since I have you here, I have to ask you something.”

I adjusted myself in my seat.

“Yeah, sure.”

“You know your father’s house had been purchased.”

“That’s how I ended up here.”

Lucien smirked.

“I bought it.”

“What?”

“The land is expansive. Figured we’d build some houses there.”

“And you’re telling me this because?”

“I’m tearing the house down.”

“Oh.” I considered Lucien for a moment. “That’s probably the best thing that could have happened to that place.”

“Are you sure you got everything that belonged to your mother?”

It was hard not to be surprised. Lucien and I had never really been friends. It was a mutual tolerance for Elain’s sake that kept us in each other’s good graces. Nothing more.

“She set aside what she wanted me to have.”

Lucien reached for his lunch bag, taking out a fork wrapped in a napkin.

“I’ll be sure to call you if anything comes up. Otherwise, I’ll see you later?”

“Yeah… Thanks, Lucien.”

He shrugged. “It’s nothing.

Elain stepped out into the cold in her pink hat, the one with the pompom on top. Her scarf and pink coat. I smiled as she made her way towards me, shoving her hands into her pockets.

“It’s windy out,” she said as she kissed me hello.

“We’ll stay local then, no forest path,” I said and she giggled.

Nesta and Feyre stepped out, Cassian and Rhys not far behind. Our parents were the last to leave, both holding their own thermos of coffee. I led the way, arm in arm with Elain. Illyria was still busy, well, as busy as a small town can be.

It was hard not to smile as we began to hear the music. Outside of Emerie’s shop, there were viejitos playing dominos on the side walk while some played the cuatro and sang aguilnaldos. People were dancing, someone was even cooking on a grill. Outside. In the dead of winter.

We joined in, of course, Elain wanting to dance with me while my brothers went after the food. It was amazing how less than a month ago, I was absolutely miserable and now… I couldn’t remember the last time I felt this happy. This alive.

“We’re taking this to town,” Emerie said. “Wanna come with us?”

Elain very happily said yes.

From Emerie’s we went to various other shops, singing together. More and more people joined until we were outside of Devlon’s house. The garage was open, his wife was serving coquito and there were four tables set up for dominos. He welcomed us rather excitedly and after I tried the pitorro, I knew why.

Our group was a little smaller once we left; house after house of people we knew, of people who knew my mother. I knew that I’d planned this for Elain, but it healed something in me- knowing that after all this time, my mother was remembered. Fondly. I was shown pictures of her, told stories about her as a kid. The life she’d had before she met my father.

Elain was happily sipping on coffee as we turned on the street that would lead us to Lucien’s neighborhood. From here I could see her parents’ house, all the lights off save for one upstairs.

“Don’t,” I heard Cassian say and Nesta muttered something I didn’t catch. “They’re not worth it.”

“What are we doing out here?” Elain asked.

“We have one more stop,” I replied.

When we were standing outside of Lucien’s front door, Cassian cleared his throat and in a very exaggerated voice, began to sing the words to ‘Yo Tenia Una Luz’, a song that left us laughing every year thanks to him. It didn’t help when everyone else started to actually sing it, even when Lucien opened the door, laughing. He welcomed us inside, his parents already rushing over to say hello.

Vassa took Elain by the hand and guided us all to the dining room. The last time I had been here, Helion and Aurelie had just gotten married and were throwing a party to celebrate. But now… there were gold balloons and a huge ‘CONGRATULATIONS’ banner hanging from the wall. There was a white cake covered in gold flowers at the center of the table.

Elain was already in tears by the time she noticed the picture of us on New Year’s Eve. She looked over at Feyre who gave her a wink. I hadn’t seen that one. We weren’t even looking at the camera. We were dancing, looking at one another with stupid smiles on our faces. I felt an arm around my shoulder, and through tears I saw Lucien grinning.

“You didn’t think we’d just let this go by unnoticed, did you?” he said.

“It was so sweet of you to want us to be part of your little surprise for Elain,” Vassa said. “I couldn’t help it. I have my husband thanks to her.”

Now, that was a story I hadn’t heard. Everyone sat down, passing around dishes while Vassa explained what exactly Elain had done.

“I mean, everyone knew that Lucien had a crush on Elain. Like forever,” Vassa said, looking at Lucien who looked ready to disappear. “But obviously, well maybe not to you, Elain was into you.”

Now I wanted to disappear.

“When Elain wanted to open the diner, I was working at the bank. Lucien came with her to handle the loan-”

“What loan?” I asked.

“I paid it back,” Elain said defensively.

“She wouldn’t let anyone help her,” Lucien said.

“Elain invited me to the grand opening,” Vassa said with a smile. “I was her date to Lucien’s work party after that. And Lucien called me to be his date to Elain’s Christmas party that same year.”

“It was the only way I knew she’d go,” Elain said with a blush. “I told her I didn’t want to go alone.”

“Yes, she didn’t want to be alone but ditched us once he and I started talking.”

“Where did you go?” Lucien asked. “Honestly, you were gone for hours.”

Elain cleared her throat, reaching for her glass of wine.

“Remember the pink stains in the bath tub you bitched about for a week?”

Lucien’s eyes widened. “You!”

“What? It’s not like anyone noticed me go take a bubble bath. I had clothes here and I knew you two weren’t leaving so…”

It was Vassa and Lucien’s turn to blush.

“Why did you have clothes here?” Nesta asked.

“The same reason Cassian keeps a drawer of clothes at my place,” Elain replied haughtily, ending that conversation.

After several glasses of wine, and very terrible jokes, Helion brought out champagne. Elain and I cut the cake, and I wasn’t surprised when she smeared it on my face. After a few overly sweet kisses and the flash of someone’s camera, we cleaned up as the flutes were passed around. When everyone looked at me, I laughed nervously.

“Well… Thank you, all of you,” I said. “I love Elain more than words can really express… I’m still expecting to wake up at any moment. I…”

I stopped, needing a second to breathe. At least I wasn’t the only person in tears, nor was I the only one surprised when Nesta spoke. Even with tears in her eyes, she held herself together, her voice didn’t even shake.

“We didn’t have the greatest childhood, I don’t think any of us did… Except you, Rhys, but your parents are godsends, so I know Cas and Azriel were given the love they deserved.”

Cassian snorted. Rhys looked scandalized. Nesta tapped her nails against her flute, and it was almost as if she was nervous.

“But to the point. My sisters and I didn’t know true happiness until we met you all. We never knew a mother’s love until we met your mother. Your father showed us that not all men were utterly worthless. And I suppose you three aren’t so bad.

“Azriel, there is no one else I trust with Elain. She’s proven to us time and time again that she can be alone, that she can take care of herself… But I didn’t want her to be lonely, and I didn’t know how to change that. Knowing that you love her so much, that she is going to be as happy as Feyre and I are- This is all I ever wanted for her. So, thank you. And congratulations.”

There was applause, hugs and kisses and then-

“Where is his threat to be good to your sister?” Rhys asked, looking at Nesta incredulously.

“He’s not across the country, eloping in the dead of night with her,” Nesta replied, sitting down and asking Cassian for more champagne.

Viejitos means old men, but in a nice way lol

We’ve mentioned Coquito before. Pitorro is Puerto rican moonshine. :)

Yo Tenia Una Luz translates to “I had a light”. I found this video because I prefer it sung by parrandas than to the studio version. This is the song my uncle sang when he showed up on Christmas with his guitar and everyone brought out their instruments and it was a riot.

I am SO sorry for how long it’s taking to finish this. I hope I made it worth it <3
