#pending edalina & melody tag.

[flcwerborne-a]

the way edalina stares… if it was anyone else, she would be shying away from that stare, trying to cover up. but the little fairy realizes that she doesn’t mind it when the other stares at her like this, like… like she desires melody. she thought, well, that the queen wouldn’t really like this. she knows her scars aren’t easy on the eyes, yet edalina still looks at her like she wants her. wants to have her. the queen’s needful gaze upon her makes her grow warm, features becoming flushed.

a hand reaches up to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, looking away from edalina.    “ well, i-i— i w-wouldn’t go so far as to say th-that i l-l-look p-perfect… “    melody murmurs, but she finds that she doesn’t shrink away from her compliments, instead stepping forward as edalina wishes her to.    “ s-st-still, i-i’m glad you like w-what i picked out. i just f-felt— f-f-felt r-really cute in it, y-you know? and… i felt good. i-i don’t… um, f-feel that way very o-often. “    she admits, voice even quieter. she shuts her eyes tight for a brief moment, not wanting to dwell on such things. no, for once she’d like a moment where her thoughts aren’t reminding her of such things. melody’s eyes open and she reaches for edalina’s hands, gently taking them into her own.

her gaze returns to her and she brings one of edalina’s hands to her lips (bringing the other to rest upon the curve of her side), petal-like lips pressing delicate kisses to the queen’s fingers. the warmth inside of her has grown hotter and her eyes burn bright with desire.    “ d-do… do you w-want me, queen edalina? will you t-t-take me, here a-and n-now? “    melody brings the queen’s hand up to rest upon her cheek, leaning into her touch.    “ m-make me yours, queen edalina. “

“ come on, i-i— i w-w-want to show you s-something! “    she giggles in delight, giving edalina’s hands a squeeze as she tugs her along away from her house and to the unassuming (and frankly very boring) grassy field close by, the two now standing in the center. she can see on the fae queen’s face how unsure she looks. it’s a grass field. what’s so special? what spectacular thing does the younger fairy have to show her? melody just smiles and slips her hands from edalina’s, letting them return to her side, palms facing the overgrown grass. her eyes close and she inhales slowly, focusing her magic through her hands. she exhales and as she does so, green-pink sparkles flow from her palms and float low to the ground, bobbing and dancing along as a gust of wind comes through, tugging at her clothes and lifting her hair.

at first it doesn’t look like very much happens, but then in an instant, stems inch up from the soil, and from those stems grow leaves and buds that bloom into big, beautiful, vibrant wildflowers of all kinds. they grow all up around them like a forest of flowers and melody finally stops, lids suddenly opening as she spins around to take in the sight before her. her expression is positively jubilant as she turns to face edalina, eyes lit up in confident glee.    “ l-look at w-what— w-w-what i did!! isn’t it a-ama-amazing?! “

@ironlillies​​ asked:    [ confess ]  for your muse to confess their feelings to my muse.

since their first meeting, melody has spent more and more time with the faerie queen, accompanying her to her realm and also inviting her to her house. sometimes they went on walks together and melody would point out some of her favorite things she always passes by on her way to work or on her walks alone. a pretty statue, a pottery store, some flowers growing in a planter in front of a store, all sorts of things! whenever edalina speaks, she always listens intently and whenever edalina points something out, melody always has a newfound love for that thing, even if it’s something she’s seen a hundred times before. everything feels so… fresh and new, like the beginning of spring. it’s all beautiful and lovely.

sometimes they talk for hours and hours about anything and everything in the world. she’s never… done this with anyone before. it feels good. edalina never seems to think of the little faerie as an annoyance, especially with her stutter, and seems as attentive of what she has to say as melody is of her. it feels so good. she feels somewhat less self conscious of her stutter when she talks to the queen and relaxes as a result of this. in fact, she’s often quite relaxed around her, like… like the walls she built around herself years ago have slowly come tumbling down, brick by brick. her guard is almost always down around edalina, and she feels…

melody searches for the proper word as she sits in her dining room. she feels lighter, but that doesn’t quite fit. not completely. she chews the inside of her cheek as she swirls the tea around in her mug, soon taking a sip of it as she still searches for that word, though she stops as she hears a knock on her door. it’s awfully late for anyone to be visiting her, isn’t it? melody checks her phone. 3:37 am. until now, she didn’t realize it was that late!

standing, she checks the peep hole and upon seeing that it’s edalina on her doorstep, she quickly unlocks the door and opens it, expression worried.    “ i-is— “    melody forces down the lump that formed in her throat. despite that sunshine-warm smile on edalina’s face, she fears the worst.    “ is e-everything o-okay? “    she manages to get the question out, heart fluttering in her chest. edalina’s smile just grows and she shakes her head.

“ yes, everything is just fine. good, in fact. “    she says softly and melody exhales a shaky sigh of relief before a small laugh leaves her.

“ o-of course, of course. sorry, i-i— i just—… i w-was w-w-worried. “    the little faerie admits quietly and bashfully, cheeks flushing in embarrassment.    “ well… d-do you want to come in? “    she steps away from the doorway and gestures inside her home. her cats don’t get up from the couch but daisy comes over to excitedly greet the queen. it makes melody smile. she doesn’t trust anyone that her pets don’t seem to trust or like. she’s glad that they do like her. melody likes her a lot, too. as edalina nods and comes inside, she closes the door behind her and melody returns to the kitchen.    “ do you w-want some t-t-tea? i-i’ve got peach, blackberry, b-blueberry, and s-some actual teas, like— l-like e-earl grey, green tea and chamomile. “

“ blackberry sounds nice. “

melody nods and refills the kettle with hot tap water before setting it down on the burner, turning the burner on and all the way up to high.    “ i, um, i h-hope that i don’t s-sound r-rude when i ask this, b-but what are you visiting me f-for? “    the little faerie gestures for edalina to sit at the table in the dining room. daisy gets comfortable on the floor beneath it, deciding to nap there. she always seems to like being where melody is.    “ i-it’s s-so— so late, after all. “

“ well, i could be asking what you’re doing awake. “

melody smiles bashfully again.    “ c-couldn’t sleep. “

“ nightmares? “

melody notices the concern in edalina’s voice and she shakes her head.    “ no. i-i just c-c-couldn’t s-seem to fall asleep. “    she hears one of the chairs creak as edalina sits and melody returns to the chair across from her, sipping at her tea again. truthfully, the queen had been on her mind. that’s why she couldn’t sleep, but for once, she doesn’t mind being awake because of her.    “ i-is th-there anything else i can g-get for you? something to e-eat? “

“ no, i snacked on my way here. “

edalina’s response earns a giggle from melody.    “ right, y-you always keep s-some f-f-fruit in the pocket of— o-of y-your dress. “    she thought it strange at first but grew to find it rather adorable. sometimes on their walks she would see edalina reach into her pocket to pull out a blueberry and pop it into her mouth, or a strawberry or a blackberry. it was so cute. it’s something she really loves about her. she... loves a lot about her, doesn’t she? melody glances up to see the queen watching her, a small smile on her face.

“ you’re really cute when you’re lost in thought, you know that? “

“ well, t-to— to b-be fair, you think that i’m a-always c-cute. “    melody’s gaze lowers and her hand rubs the side of her neck. she doesn’t know why edalina thinks that but she would prefer not to dwell on thoughts of self-loathing while the queen is here. there must be a reason as to why she’s here, right?    “ y-you d-didn’t answer my question, though. m-my first question. “

edalina remains silent for a moment longer. perhaps mulling over what she wants to say, taking a moment to get them right.    “ i like you, melody. a lot. as more than a friend. “

where melody had assumed the worst when she saw it was the faerie queen at her door, she certainly didn’t think she would confess to such a thing.    “ d-do you really? “    it’s all she can think to ask for a moment. the weight of the other’s words haven’t quite sunk in just yet, but it doesn’t take them long to, and her heart flutters and she feels rather giddy.    “ you… you r-really l-li-like m-me? “    melody had only begun to dream of this, of being with edalina. she had kept these dreams (and subsequent day to day thoughts) to herself, however, fearing if she mentioned them to her, she would only laugh. what a silly notion, right? a common little faerie falling for the queen of all fae. silly indeed. she felt it stupid to think that she would have a chance with the queen. maybe another faerie, but the queen? the queen? never, not a chance. and yet… here they are, here edalina is, confessing to her.

“ really, i do. “

melody’s heart flutters again with edalina’s words and a small, breathless laugh leaves her. she chews the inside of her cheek again and lowers her gaze. edalina speaks so softly and gently but so surely, too. sure. of course she would be sure. someone like a queen would have to be sure in her feelings, right? but it almost feels like melody is dreaming, like this isn’t real and something her mind would conjure because of the little faerie’s desire for something that is more than friendship. love. that’s what she wants. sweet, beautiful, pure, unadulterated love. a love that’s kind and good and soothing and comforting and patient and understanding… like edalina’s love.

“ i… i k-kind of realized something earlier b-b-be-before y-you knocked on my door. “    melody whispers, glancing up at edalina.    “ i’m s-sure the— the w-walls i built around my heart a-and— and a-around m-m-myself were always kind of obvious. but you s-s-slowly w-worked your way in. g-gently you plucked away e-each s-stone and brought down each w-wall and i… i d-didn’t even notice it until just r-recently. “    voice even softer, she says,    “ a-and i— i-i-i don’t even m-mind that it was you that b-brought all of them down. y-you make me feel so… “    again, she trails away to search for that word, glancing away as she does so.

her gaze lifts as she feels edalina’s hand resting on hers, giving it a gentle squeeze as though to tell her to take her time. with edalina’s touch, she finally finds it then. free. she finally finds the right word. like a bird that caged itself and was finally set free of its own confines.

“ ...free. “    she breathes that word out and she in turn gives the queen’s hand an acknowledging squeeze.    “ you make me feel f-free, edalina. “    and she feels a myriad of other things; loved, cared for, understood. most of all, like edalina really likes her and likes being around her, that she isn’t tiring to be around or an annoyance. her heart swells, full to the brim with emotion, and it soars. tears brim her eyes and she uses her free hand to quickly wipe them away. though more tears prick the corners of her eyes, melody smiles. it’s rare that she’s emotional in a good way.     “ sorry. i-i just n-nev-never i-imagined someone… someone m-m-making m-me feel this way. “    edalina would be her first, after all.

melody realizes then that she never returned the queen’s sentiments and a small but giddy laugh spills from her lips. she gives her hand another squeeze, smiling sweetly and genuinely.    “ i l-like you, too, edalina. i think i m-might even… no, i know it: i-i l-love you, edalina. m-more th-than anything in the world, i l-love you. “

[ date? ]  for your muse to ask my muse to go on a date.

after their mutual confessions were made, the two sat in the little fae’s dining room for a little while longer, drinking tea and enjoying each other’s presence. her hand remained in edalina’s, thumb occasionally stroking her knuckles as they talked. every now and again, melody would get giddy again and her heart would swell with such wonderful emotions and she would smile.

edalina would ask about it and melody would only get bashful before, again, saying she’s just so incredibly happy — overjoyed — that the queen feels the way she does about her because melody felt the same way. she had just hesitated to tell her because she was afraid, but now she isn’t quite so afraid since edalina confessed first.

“ i-i’m g-getting pretty tired, but i— i’m n-not sure i can s-sleep! i-i’m j-just so excited. “    a soft giggle leaves melody and she finishes off her tea. it’s probably already at least five in the morning now! there’s no point in going to bed now, is there? she’ll have to be at work soon, though she’s tempted to call in sick, or maybe even tell mister hartley the truth. he would understand and no doubt be overjoyed for her. she could get a little sleep then…

“ you do look sleepy, but do you want to go on a date? not now, of course! but later, when you’ve had some sleep. “

melody smiles and nods.    “ i’d love to go on a— a-a d-date with you, edalina. “    she thought of asking her so many times if maybe, just maybe, she wanted to go on a date, but as always, felt afraid to. what if she didn’t share her desire for a date? what if she didn’t feel the same? but now melody doesn’t have to be so afraid of that possibility when now it isn’t one at all.

standing, she takes their mugs and drops the teabags into the trash before setting the mugs down in the sink.    “ i think i am g-going to try and— a-and g-get some sleep. “    she turns to face edalina, a gentle smile gracing her features.    “ d-do… do you w-w-want t-to sleep with me? i-i mean, n-nothing, well, m-more th-than that, of course! just… s-sleep. “    melody holds her hand out to the queen.

as edalina gently takes her hand, she says oh-so-softly,    “ i would love to sleep by your side, melody. “

♡ give all for Edalina thank u

prompted.    /    accepting!

[ crawl ]  for your muse to crawl into bed with mine. + [ embrace ]  for your muse to pull my muse into a tight embrace.

it’s amazing how patient edalina is. maybe from being alive for so long, the little faerie wonders, holding her pillow as she curls up on her side. most of the day has been spent here in bed, simply too energy-less to get out and do anything. melody did want to come into work, she did want to do some cleaning around the house and some tending to her garden, but the more she tried to motivate herself to get out of her bed, she just… couldn’t. and edalina was patient with her nonetheless, offering to do things for her, to get food for her. no, no you don’t have to go out of your way for me, melody had said with a shake of her head, but… the queen was kind enough to do these things for her anyway.

she doesn’t get it. why would edalina do this for her? why is she so patient, so understanding? she’s sure the other must hate her by now, or at the very least has grown tired of her. anyone would. should. sometimes melody has the energy to get everything she wants done and more! she’s in the mood for walks, to cook, to go on drives, but more often than not… though she tries to force herself to, she doesn’t feel like doing anything at all. the energy or motivation (sometimes both) just isn’t there. sometimes melody can’t even lift her head from her pillow. she can only lay there, and somehow edalina remains patient and understanding.

melody feels a hand on her cheek and her eyes flutter open to see the queen standing by her bed. she manages a tired smile and her hand comes out from underneath her pillow to rest upon edalina’s. turning her head to glance out the window, she sees that night has fallen. a whole day wasted. her smile fades and she looks away, curling up more under the covers. she sees edalina pull away and soon feels the weight on the bed shift as she lays down next to her. melody moves onto her other side and wraps her arms around the queen as she does the same, holding the little faerie snug against herself. she rests her head against edalina’s chest, finding comfort and solace here in her girlfriend’s arms.

[ gift ]  for your muse to surprise my muse with a gift (& bonus if you add what the fit is). + [ flower ]  for your muse to offer my muse their favourite flower/s.

persian buttercups. melody recognizes them immediately, her features brighten with a smile as she takes the large pot from the queen, wrapping her arms around it and holding it tight and close to her chest.    “ a-are these f-for— f-f-for me? “    she asks and when edalina nods, her smile gets bigger and a delighted giggle leaves her as she bounces on the balls of her feet. oh, they’re just so beautiful! so big and vibrant. carefully she sets the pot down on the floor and wraps her arms around edalina before smothering her face in kisses.

“ i-i love them so m-much, thank you, th-thank you!! “

[ serenade ]  for your muse to sing to my muse.

she didn’t know that edalina had such a beautiful voice. it’s so sweet and soothing that as she listens, she can’t help but wonder if this is how those men felt in those stories about being lured in by sirens. oh, but if the queen were one, melody wouldn’t mind being lured in by her. she truly would still love her all the same as she does now, without fear and her heart overflowing with love.

melody listens intently, fingers laced together under her chin, still enamored by the other’s voice as she continues on. she only speaks up when edalina finishes.    “ y-your voice is so l-lovely, e-edalina. “    she praises softly, lips curled into a loving smile. leaning forward, the little faerie kisses her cheek and wraps her arms around her.    “ thank you f-for s-s-singing to me, i-i truly enjoyed it. “

[ caress ]  for your muse to gently run their hand down my muse’s face.

her eyes flutter open as sunlight pours in through a gap in the curtains. it’s morning. melody isn’t filled with dread. she turns her head, wondering if the queen is still here with her. upon seeing that she is, she can’t help but smile and, moving onto her other side, she leans forward to press a kiss to edalina’s forehead. when she stirs, she can’t help but giggle.

“ sorry, i-i d-didn’t mean to w-wake you. “

edalina only smiles that smile that always melts the little faerie’s heart and reaches forward to caress her cheek. melody leans into her touch, her heart fluttering in her chest. she loves the little things like this so much.

[ caught ]  for your muse to catch my muse wearing their shirt.

“ you look adorable in my shirt, mourning dove. “

she hears edalina say when she comes into the kitchen. the little faerie glances down — oh. she didn’t even realize she had grabbed her shirt! she just grabbed one, assuming it was her own, and threw it on before heading into the kitchen to throw something together for breakfast. oops.

“ sorry, i didn’t even r-re-realize th-that i picked up your shirt i-instead of mine. “    melody giggles and turns to face the queen, noticing that, since she then didn’t have a shirt to wear, she grabbed one of melody’s. with her preference for baggier clothing, it looks pretty big on her, but still cute nonetheless. stepping closer, she bends down to kiss her temple before whispering,    “ y-you— y-you l-look cute in m-mine, too. “

[ love letter ]  for your muse to give my muse a love letter they wrote for them.

with a slow inhale, she stirs from her slumber. eyes flutter open and she sits up, hands coming up to rub the sleep from her eyes. glancing next to her, she sees the other side of the bed is empty. there’s a note on the pillow. brows furrow slightly and melody reaches for the note, soon discovering it’s actually a letter (a three-page long letter!). she can’t help but worry. has something happened? is… is edalina breaking up with her? no, it’s probably stupid to assume the worst, so she quickly opens the letter and reads through it.

as she reads, melody exhales a sigh of relief and leans back against her pillows, her heart calming some as she quickly realizes that it’s the complete opposite of what she initially thought it was. it’s a love letter! the little faerie never thought she’d get something like this! oh, it’s so sweet and poetic and loving. once she’s done reading it, she holds it to her chest, her lips curled into a big smile. giddy, she reads it again and again and once more for good measure before clutching it to her chest again. oh, she loves edalina so much!

[ sleepy ]  for your muse to slowly fall asleep on my muse’s lap.

it’s nice to stay in every now and again instead of going out. melody can so easily get overwhelmed in public, usually in crowds or in noisy places, so when the queen suggested a night inside to watch movies, eat popcorn and ice cream, she was happy to agree. at some point edalina ended up stretched out on the couch with her head in melody’s lap and the little fae found herself sometimes reaching down to run her fingers through the other’s hair. it was so soft and fine, like silk. it felt nice to touch it and comb her fingers through it.

soon she hears edalina beginning to doze. melody leans over just a little, watching for a moment. the queens’ chest slowly falls and rises and her features look so calm and peaceful. she just can’t help but smile before getting comfortable again. edalina can sleep here for however long she wants, melody won’t have to get up again for a while. with the footstool in front of her, she can recline and lay back and get some sleep as well.

“ s-sleep well, edalina. “
