2023 Secret Pal Exchange

A huge thank you for @choicesfandomappreciation for running this event!

Dear @lilyoffandoms,

I am so so sorry for the delay, there were more technical difficulties than I anticipated. I wanted to try something different for this event by making a lil mini-video edit based on an older TikTok trend along with a moodboard lol. Hope you like it!

What I knew about Maiele and Tyril mostly came from Dani's fics with Daenarya and Mal, but it was so much fun learning more about Maiele and Tyril from your blog since they're such a power couple!! I love that you chose this elf sprite specifically they're so underrated yet live up to the ethereal Nightbloom name <3 I'm so jealous of Maiele's sense of fashion too omg. He seems like a super charming and likable elf to be around and I can't wait to get to know him more!

What if the Kingdom of Morella had a war propaganda office that used MC’s image to further army enrollment?

Poster below cut without graffiti.

I just think this would be a thing. I don’t know. I guess I’m a sucker for the fact that you know everyone turned on MC no matter the choice they made in the end. Maiele’s choice leveled cities and killed many. I just know, I know, this would be the reaction. Plus I do so love the fallen savior that had no real choice in anything. What are the chances PB gives us this is book three?

For Day 21 (Theme Prompt: Adventure) of the @choicesjanuary2024 challenge.

Maiele Nightbloom for the loveliest and most talented @lilyoffandoms 💜💜💜

Thank you for creating Maiele and sharing him with us all (especially Daeanarya, she's very grateful). But also, thank you for sharing all your art with us this past month +. You are seriously such a bright spot in our fandom. We are so so so lucky to have you! I know I am forever grateful to have you in my life. I hope you like this little surprise. I'm not 100% happy with it, but I can't figure out how to fix it right now, so I'll come back to it one day and maybe reshare if I can figure out how to fix it! [319 shapes]

Love you so so much!!!

Daenarya has a few thoughts about Mal's new armor

[Mal Volari x Daenarya Masterlist] [Mal’s Orphanage]

Art by the incredible and amazing @weetlebeetle. I AM OBSESSED!!!! LOOK AT THEM!!!

Mal: (grumbling) Why in the world would I want this leather armor? It leaves my arms entirely exposed to attacks! Not to mention the scrapes from branches and bushes.

Maiele: (smirking) Trust me. I think this armor will surprise you.

A Short while later...

(Daenarya approaches, completely captivated by Mal's appearance. She ignores his attempts to greet her, instead, she runs her hands over his chest in admiration.)

Mal: I take it this new armor is to your liking.

Daenarya: (bites her lips as she traces his pecs) Mmhmm... (her voice a little flustered) You could say that. It definitely enhances your —uh, features.

Mal: (holds her waist) I wasn't sure —

Daenarya: (cutting him off with a heated kiss) Shhh, less talking, I'm gonna need a few minutes to fully appreciate this, but in private— (She takes his hand and pulls him toward a more secluded location, looking back at him as she dragged him away.) It might be more than a few minutes. (She decides, licking her lips).

Mal: (smirks, making a mental note to thank Maiele)

*Maiele belongs to @lilyoffandoms. I like to think Maiele was helping Mal out with this knowing how Daenarya would react lol

Daenarya is very much enjoying how the new armor emphasizes some of Mal's features 😏

Beneath the Mistletoe

[Mal Volari x Daenarya Blades 1 + Beyond] [Mal’s Orphanage] [Mal Volari x Daenarya Blades 2 AU]

Pairings: Maiele (@lilyoffandoms) x Daenarya; Tyril x Mal, with Mal Volari x Daenarya and Tyril Starfury x Maiele Nightbloom Book: Blades of Light and Shadow Word Count: ~600 Rating/Warnings: Teen

Synopsis: Daenarya and Maiele find themselves beneath the mistletoe.

This gorgeous art of my Daenarya and @lilyoffandoms's Maiele is by the ever lovely @callmebeem. I absolutely adore how it came out. These two deserve a special holiday moment and they look so good doing so!

Lily, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! I adore you so, so much! Sending you all the hugs & love, today and always! Merry Christmas!

Tagging: Christmas: @choicesdecember2023, @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesholidays, @choicesflashfics (Holiday Prompt in bold)

Daenarya stood perched on a milk crate, trying to secure a sprig of mistletoe above the archway to the living room. She glanced around, hoping someone would notice.

Maiele, catching her subtle attempt, stepped forward, offering his assistance. His touch was gentle as he held her hips, his thumbs caressing her softly.

Standing on her tiptoes with Maiele's hands guiding her, she successfully hung the floral ornamentation.

"Thank you," Daenarya offered softly, remaining close to him. She chewed her lower lip, her gaze glancing back up at the mistletoe. "Look, there’s mistletoe. We have to kiss, it’s the law."

"Is that so?" Maiele teased, a playful glint in his eyes. "A human law, I presume? I'm not familiar with it."

"Oh, well, it is a very well-known and important rule," she insisted, feigning a coy grin.

"In that case—" Maiele's hand cradled the back of her neck, drawing her in for a gentle, tender kiss beneath the mistletoe. Their lips met softly as he savored the notes of cinnamon and vanilla, reminiscent of the cookies she'd been baking earlier.

Daenarya leaned into the kiss, wrapping her arms around Maiele's neck, pressing deeper, the heat between them rising. Her footing slipped as she forgot her surroundings; the milkcrate teetered beneath her shifting weight, but Maiele was there to guide her safely back to the ground in his careful embrace.

The pair parted for a moment, catching their breath. Shared laughter slipped between them.

"We appear to still be beneath the mistletoe," Maiele noted, not ready to let her go so quickly.

Daenarya nodded, a mischievous smile spreading on her face. "So we are."

Their lips met again as they stayed in the moment, enjoying the comfort they found in one another.

❤️ 💚 ❤️ 💚 ❤️ 💚

Mal turned the corner, his mouth falling, catching sight of Daenarya and Maiele locked in an intimate embrace. The surprise etched across his face swiftly gave way to a subtle downturn of his lips. He knew they shared a connection, but still, he felt a pang of jealousy... or was it envy?

Tyril watched the rogue in amusement, arms folded, leaning against the wall. "Is this not what you wanted for them?"

"Yes, but they could be a little less... I don't know... passionate about it," Mal complained. "Look at them!"

A moan slipped from Daenarya's lips.

"Did you hear that?" His eyes widened.

"Jealousy doesn't suit you—" His tone held a teasing edge as he continued, "—although I do understand the sentiment."

Mal huffed through pouty lips, folding his arms across his chest. "It's not jealousy, it’s just... an observation."

Tyril raised a brow, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "Of course, just keen observation, I'm certain that's all." He pushed himself off the wall. In three quick strides, he stood before Mal. "However, if you find their display disconcerting, perhaps a diversion is in order." His long fingers danced lightly up Mal's arm.

"What did you have in mind?" The rogue questioned, his tone faltering. His gaze traced the elf's lips without hesitation, enjoying the sudden closeness between them. His thoughts of Daenarya and Maiele faded away. He stifled a chuckle, it was envy after all, but not for much longer, at least he hoped.

"I simply mean—" Tyril leaned closer, his voice a whisper in Mal's ear. "—sometimes, distractions can be quite beneficial."

Without another word, the elf's lips crashed against Mal's, swallowing whatever witty retort the rogue had hoped to express. He relished how easily the man melted beneath his touch. Maiele and Daenarya could have their mistletoe, Tyril didn't need it. He could get Mal exactly where he wanted with nothing more than a look, and that's exactly how he liked it.

I hope you like this, @lilyoffandoms and it's not too much. It was going to be a sweeter kiss between them but Beem showed me a sketch for this with them looking more intimate and I just couldn't say no because look at them!

The Reign of a Short King

[Mal Volari x Daenarya Masterlist] [Mal’s Orphanage]

Pairings: Mal Volari x Daenarya (F!OC) ; Tyril Starfury x Maiele* (*Maiele belongs to @lilyoffandoms) Book: Blades of Light and Shadow Word Count: ~750 Rating: Teen (just to be safe)

Synopsis: Mal is very insistent that a half inch makes all the difference.

A/N: This silly drabble was inspired by a comment by @dr-colossal-pita about Mal using his hair to increase his height, and my wanting to reconcile Mal being short even though in book 1 he is mentioned as "tall". Also, I know realistically they wouldn't use the US measuring system but this story works better when using 1/2 inches.

Mal and Daenarya stood near the garden wall in their backyard, a heated argument unfolding.

"You know, I'm 5 foot 8 and a half inches," Mal insisted, peering down at her.

Mischief danced in her eyes as she chuckled, shaking her head. "You're dreaming, Mr. Magnificent. You're only feeling tall next to me,” Daenarya teased, nudging him gently.

"By the gods, I swear I am 5 foot 8 and a half!" Mal stood a little straighter to emphasize his point.

Her head tilted to the side in amusement, brushing back his beautiful mane. "I'll humor you, but just so you know, your hair doesn't count if that's where you're getting that extra half."

Mal took a step back, feigning indignation. His fingers raked through his hair as he brushed his hair back methodically. "I would never count my hair." He shook his head, offended she'd even say such a thing. "I am 5 foot 8 and a half inches!"

"Okay," she nodded in agreement, her smile spreading across her face. She pressed a kiss on her cheek. "If you say so."

Mal puffed his chest and held his head as high as possible "I'm glad you've come to see my side of things." He offered his arm to her.

"If you say so," she repeated, accepting his gesture as they headed back to where their friends were gathered.

"And if we were counting my hair, then, I'd be at least 5 foot 9 inches", maybe 5 foot 9 and a half!" He boasted proudly.

Daenarya chuckled, "Here we go again."

"Here we go again?" Maiele moved to join them. "What trouble are you two starting now?"

"Did you know that Mal is 5 foot 8 and a half inches, but if you count his hair, he might even be 5 foot 9 and a half!" Sarcasm dripped in every word.

"Huh," Maiele pondered thoughtfully, casually resting his arm on Mal's head. Despite Mal's attempts to squirm away, the elf’s tall and strong stature held him there. After another moment of consideration, a smirk spread on his lips. "You wish!"

A rumble of laughter rose in his throat as his hands tousled Mal's hair, messing up his perfect coiffure. With a playful wink to Daenarya, Maiele sauntered off back to Tyril, whose lip curled up ever so slightly despite his efforts to hide his amusement at Mal's despair.

Flustered, Mal sputtered something in response, but his words were lost as Daenarya gently touched his face and gave him a light kiss.

"You're still my short king," she whispered. Her thumb caressed over his jaw, the coarse hair of his beard tickling her.

Mal couldn't help but relax and smile at her touch. "You know, initially, you thought I was tall."

Daenarya couldn't help but remember that night so long ago. "What can I say? It was dark, and I had a few drinks before this handsome rogue barreled into me—"

"I barreled into you?" He interrupted.

"That's how I remember it," she continued, batting her eyelashes. "There I was minding my own business, when you, this smug adventure. bumped into me, this innocent country girl."

A smirk pulled on his lips, his brow arching. "You're many things, Kit, but innocent isn't one of them!" He shook his head in amusement. "How does that change my height?"

"As I was trying to explain," she smirked. She held her hand in front of her as if drawing his attention to an imaginary scene unfolding. "This beautiful adventurer with great hair bumps into me. It's a dark street; I was a little tipsy—"

"You're a little tipsy now? I thought you were innocent?" He chuckled in amusement, enjoying her embellished tale. "Besides, I've seen you drink; you weren't even a little tipsy."

Her face flushed. "Ugh, fine! I may or may not have been a little distracted by your chest hair... I mean who wears a V-neck while adventuring? Besides, you've seen what I had to work with in Riverbend. You were a welcomed step up. I was clearly preoccupied with other thoughts."

"And you want me to believe you were the innocent one?" His brow arched. "And, I repeat, how does that change my height?"

"Well, your head was up from there, so— tall...er?" Her smile widened, knowing her thoughts went far beyond his alluring chest. "Let's agree to agree. You agree that I was innocent the night we met, and I'll agree that you're 5 foot 8 inches...and a half!"

"I think I can support that agreement." He drew her into his arms, enveloping her completely. "Shall we seal it with a kiss?"

"Mmhmm," she hummed, "now you're talking."

Mal closed the gap, guiding her into a deepening kiss.

Daenarya smiled into his embrace, her fingers crossed behind his back. This certainly wouldn't be the last time she teased him about that half-inch.

A/N#2: Originally, I had Mal at 5'10" but somehow I kept lowering it and now we're at 5'8". I mean if Ironman can be 5'8", my short king can to!

Again, Maiele belongs to @lilyoffandoms and he is Daenayra's best friend (for any new readers)

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this playful adventure.

A Development (of Sorts)

[Mal Volari x Daenarya Blades 1 + Beyond] [Mal’s Orphanage] [Mal Volari x Daenarya Blades 2 AU]

Pairings: Mal Volari x Daenarya (F!OC) with Tyril Starfury x Maiele (@lilyoffandoms's OC) and Mal x Tyril and Maiele x Daenarya Book: Blades of Light and Shadow (setting this in my book 1 AU) Word Count: ~1,000 Rating/Warnings: teen... it's them Tagging: @choicesficwriterscreations (Bisexual Awareness); @choicesoctober (fave couples ever)

Synopsis: Daenarya has some complicated feelings about her best friend, Maiele. Mal is a huge gossip and can't wait to share.

This fic was written in response to @lilyoffandoms's drabble introducing Maiele x Daenarya. You should go read it!!!

Mal and Daenarya lay in the soft grass, the night sky above them dotted with brilliant stars. Daenarya turned and shifted, trying to find a comforting position to relax, but her thoughts were anything but quiet. She turned to her stomach, laying her head gently on Mal's chest. He responded by putting his arms beneath his head, lifting his gaze to meet hers, their eyes locking in the moonlight.

As the gentle breeze rustled through the trees, Daenarya took a deep breath, her voice soft and contemplative. "Mal, there's something I need to confess."

He looked at her with unwavering support. "There's nothing you can't tell me."

Daenarya sighed, her fingers playing with the edges of his shirt. "It's Maiele." She chewed her lip nervously.

Mal tried to school his knowing smile. His fingers traced a soothing pattern down her back. "It's okay," he reassured her.

Her eyes welled with tears. "What is?"

"How you feel."

"And how's that?" She shook her head. "I don't even know."

"Yes, you do." He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "It's okay to admit it."

"He's my best friend," she pleaded, wishing she could shake the feeling away.

"I know," he nodded, listening attentively.

"I'm scared," she admitted, her voice wavering in the quiet of the night. "I've never been scared before. Not like this." She leaned into his tender caress, drawing strength from him as he let her come to her own terms with things. "He's my best friend and I love him. I love him, Mal. Not like I love you, of course, but I don't know. I don't know what it's like, I just want more."

"Have you told Maiele?" Mal questioned softly.

Daenarya stifled a chuckle beneath her tears, the question seemed so silly, but what else was she to do. "What if I ruin our friendship? What if he hates me? It was just for fun, we always agreed—when we were pretending, it was just that—it wasn't real."

"But now it is?"

She nodded solemnly. "I can't hurt him."

"You know I wouldn't judge you if you wanted more with him," Mal smiled supportively. "It's only fair."

"It's not like that."

"Not like what?"

"You and Tyril," Daenarya shook her head as if the idea repulsed her somehow. "It's different...but... ugh, I don't know... not so different?"

"Whatever it is, you should talk to him." Mal wrapped his arms supportively around her. "He'll understand. Whether he feels the same way or not, he'll be there."

"How can you be so sure?"

Mal thought back to the countless times he'd seen the way they looked at each other, the momentary stolen glances when their games lingered a little too long. "Do you trust me?"

"Most of the time," she teased, her brow arching slightly with mischief.

His thumb drew across her cheek, wiping the fallen tears of worry away. "Then, trust me when I say Maiele will still be there, even if you tell him how you feel."

She nodded softly, considering his words. Laying her head back on his chest, Daenarya curled into him, her thoughts lingering on her best friend as they lay beneath the stars.

-----

Mal had barely entered their home before he caught Tyril's hand and dragged the elf down the hall, closing the first door behind them.

"Well, that didn't take long," Maiele and Daenarya laughed together.

"Do you think Mal's going to give Tyril time to protest, or is his caught-off-guard technique going to work in his favor?" Daenarya queried.

"I think Tyril protests for our benefit. He doesn't want to appear too eager," Maiele decided as he gestured Daenarya into the living room.

"I'm not sure anyone could be more eager than Mal right now."

She plopped down on the couch, patting the seat beside her, gesturing to her best friend.

-----

"Would you let me go," Tyril pulled his arm free from the Rogue's grasp. "Might you show even the slightest bit of decorum?"

Mal rolled his eyes, locking the door behind them. "I'd rather not; this is way more fun."

"I vehemently disagree!"

"Of course, you do, Elf Boy!" Mal's gaze raked down the elf's form as he attempted to straighten his tunic. Mal shook his head, pulling himself back to his intended goal. "That's not what I'm here for."

"It's not?" A momentary flash of disappointment flickered on Tyril's features, earning a satisfied grin from the Rogue.

"I knew you liked me." Mal brushed a lingering kiss on his cheek before returning to his previous point. "Remember how I'm always right?"

"No," Tyril replied stoically, trying to temper the purple hue that flushed on his cheeks from the kiss.

"Last month, when I mentioned Maiele and Daenarya's fake dating couple thing seemed to be getting longer every time."

"What about it?"

"I was right!"

"About what?"

"Daenarya and Maiele," Mal started, shaking his head. "Well, at least Daenarya."

"What did she say?"

"That he means the world to her, and that he's her best friend, blah, blah, blah..."

"Yes, I'm sure she used such childish language."

"I was paraphrasing."

"I don't believe you know what paraphrasing is."

"Can I continue?"

"If you must."

"Daenarya said she has feelings for Maiele, but she's scared to tell him."

"And?"

"And what are we going to do about it?"

"Nothing."

"I don't think you heard me."

"I did. I heard you, and now I'm letting them figure it out."

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Why should it be fun for us?"

"We have fun, don't we?" His hands slid up the elf's thigh as he pulled him flush against him. "Shouldn't they have this too?"

"Whatever they decide is for them to decide," Tyril insisted. "Each of us must choose what we need and want. We can't do it for them."

Mal's attempt to pout at not getting his way was quickly allayed as Tyril pushed him against the wall.

"Now, if you think you can focus on something else, I propose we make proper use of this time." Tyril's hands grasped firmly on the human's hips as his lips met his with heated fervor.

Mal shrugged, it wasn't what he had intended when he dragged Tyril in here, but he wasn't about to protest to this change in direction.

This isn't really edited and revised, it's just for fun to see how Daenarya is processing her complicated developing feelings for Maiele.

“You’re pretty.”

He leaned closer against the elf’s shoulder, his words slurred, his eyes swimming as he tried to focus on his face, his hand running up Tyril’s chest to try and cup his cheek.

“Why are you so pretty?”

“Can you please?” Tyril said as he attempted to right the man beside him.

“I cannot. Not wh- whe- when you are so pretty,” Mal grinned as he leaned back against Tyril and began pawing at him again.

“How do I stop this?” he turned and asked Daenarya.

“Don’t challenge him to a drinking contest he can’t win?” Maiele winked.

“Not helpful. Daenarya, please,” he begged. “Make him stop.”

“What makes you think I can?”

“Please,” he said incredulously.

“Do I take pity on him?” she asked Maiele.

Maiele looked him over and chuckled at the desperation behind Tyril’s eyes. He simply nodded.

Daenarya stood up and rested her hand gently on Mal’s shoulder.

“Let’s get you home,” she smiled.

“Oh! You are sooooo much prettier,” Mal said in surprise.

fjslksdjfk THAT'S MY DRUNK IDIOT RIGHT THERE!

The way I'm laughing and crying and crying laughing because this is the most Mal Volari thing I've ever read. My drunk boy loves pretty things and pretty people. He has a rough life being surrounded by pretty people lol

Mal always being surprised Daenarya is with him and she is pretty is my fave. He is just a precious cinnamon roll who somehow made it to live this far in his life.

But Tyril being so so so so done with him is always my favorite mood.

“I cannot. Not wh- whe- when you are so pretty,” Mal grinned as he leaned back against Tyril and began pawing at him again.

Drunk!Mal pawing Tyril telling him he is pretty is my new favorite thing to happen in this world! Like I will never not want that image to live rent free in my life. I will pay it to live there.

This was the most fun drabble and I literally am in love with every word. I've read it at least 10 times already and just keep giggling.

I love my drunk idiot. He is so pretty and precious. He's lucky Daenarya loves him and pitied Tyril enough lol

I love you so so much! You are the most wonderful person to exist and always gift me the best little things. I don't know what I did to deserve you in my life but I adore you more than I'll ever be able to say!!!!

I hope you are feeling better. I had two seconds to myself at this godawful work event that my partner dragged me to (but really it’s okay, my partner is worth it but still eww corporate events are the worst but I digress). So anyway, I thought I’d surprise you will a very short little something because you are awesome and deserve all good things and plus, I can’t get these four outta my head.

“Daenarya, love, may I have this dance?” Maiele asked as he stood from beside her extended his hand to her.

“Of course, my dear,” she smiled as he pulled her tight into his arms.

They paused a step from the table to look back at their partners with knowing smirks.

“Try not to miss us too much while we’re gone,” they teased in unison.

“What’s there to miss when we have this lovely, dark corner all to ourselves?” Mal’s our directed at them but whispered into Tyril’s ear as he slid his sat closer to him.

The two friends laughed as Maiele shot Tyril a wink before whisking Daenarya out onto the crowded dance floor.

You are the very very best and I will never be able to say enough times how much I adore you!

I'm feeling a little better. Still have a bit to go but grateful for any progress at this point! Thank you for checking in!

I'm sorry you had to endure the corporate event. It doesn't sound enjoyable, but I'm glad your partner is with it. I'm sure he appreciated you being there and all the wonderfulness you brought with you!

But these four!!! I love them so so much and they are always in my thoughts!!!

I LOVE DAENARYA AND MAIELE SO SO MUCH! They're so pretty and lovely and beautiful and perfect!

But then Mal and Tyril... left alone... in a dark corner. 😏

I offer you a slight extension:

Mal inched closer. He could feel the elf's breath shift with his movement. "Shall we make use of this lovely dark corner that we seem to have found all to ourselves for the moment?" His finger grazed over the side of Tyril's thigh, triggering an almost electric response.

"Must you be so forward?" Tyril attempted to look away, keeping his composure, or as much as he could with Mal breathing on his neck.

"Forward is my middle name," Mal purred in his ear, his hand settling comfortably on his companion. "And, you love it."

"Your middle name is no such thing," Tyril protested.

"So, is that your only point of disagreement with my previous remarks?"

"What are you talking about?"

The rogue's lips brushed gently against Tyrils, a soft and tantalizing kiss that sent a shiver down the elf's spine. Mal leaned back, a smirk on his lips. "I said 'And, you love it', and so you do. I told you never to doubt me and my skills—"

His words were silenced by a searing kiss from Tyril as the two took advantage of their moment alone. No one so much as glanced at the dimly lit corner, instead all eyes were on a pair sweeping across the dance floor, captivating all in the room.

Thank you for hosting another beautiful kindness event for us all! You are a true gem in this fandom and this world! Thank you for being so truly and utterly amazing!! 😘

“Mal!” they hissed in unison.

One voice was clipped exasperation. The second was cautiously entertained. The third was purred amusement.

They watched as he climbed across the top of the ledge toward the relic in question.

“Remind me why he didn’t just use the ladder?” Tyril asked.

“It’s more challenging this way, elf boy,” Mal said from above.

“It is taking too long,” he glanced nervously about the quiet library where a few other patrons stood pointing a whispering. “Surely someone has alerted the guard to your presence,” Tyril reasoned.

“Relax,” Mal grinned as he reached out, “I got this.”

“He is going to get caught,” Tyril turned towards the other two.

“Or get someone else caught,” Daenarya smiled as they heard the approach of the royal guards.

“Most likely himself and Tyril,” Maiele smirked and with a quick kiss to Tyril’s cheek he took Daenarya’s hand and the two raced down the aisle and around the corner to safety.

Sorry for holding on to this one, I just kept rereading it and giggling instead of sharing it 🙈

This is absolutely a perfect snippet into their lives and it is so on brand. Poor Tyril, Mal is definitely getting at least Tyril caught if not both of them.

At least, Daenarya and Maiele will be laughing in amusement from a safe distance. They've learned the routine.

This was absolutely delightful! Thank you so so much for writing it for me and for always telling the best stories for these four. I don't think I will ever get tired of them! They are my faves forever and I will always treasure them and you!!! You are the best!!

Thank you again for this! It was my pleasure to host the kindness event. I do so enjoy seeing people spread kindness and joy.

#mal volari #tyril starfury #maiele nightbloom #daenarya #mal x daenarya #tyril x maiele #these four foreverrrr #lilyoffandoms #lovealexhunt #Don't mind me #I'll still be here giggling over these four
