Flying Low

A magical AU where Law is a raven shapeshifter, but has had his wings torn off, so he is always using a cane to balance himself and he lives in seclusion in the forest. He absolutely doesn't trust, well, anyone. Whether humans or other shapeshifters or any other race, he doesn't approach anyone and does everything he can to not let them approach his home either. But that changes when one day a guy just falls from the sky. It literally falls from the sky. Right in the middle of Law's herb garden and although he really wants to get rid of this invader, he can't get rid of his curiosity because Law's house is in the middle of the forest, far from peaks or mountains, so where the hell is this guy came from and, even better, how did he survive the fall? Curiosity (and his sense of duty as a healer) causes Law to drag the guy inside and nurse him back to health. 'The guy' soon wakes up and gets a name, Luffy, who reveals himself to be a priest of the Sun God's temple, which makes sense to Law, since Luffy's magic seems totally opposite to his, a raven whose species is constantly attributed to the Goddess of Darkness, Nika's enemy. All this, however, does not explain how Luffy fell out of nowhere from the sky and it only gets worse when not even Luffy knows how it happens. Unfortunately for Law, meeting Luffy is a path of no return and in the blink of an eye his isolated and peaceful life is disturbed by the priest who, after returning to full health, becomes a noisy guest in Law's small cabin. Things get weird when Law's wings start to grow back, white instead of black, at the same time that Luffy also starts to change. For worse. His health simply declines and his magic grows and becomes out of control, becoming a danger to everything around him, excluding, in some way, Law. Desperate to understand and help Luffy, Law begins his journey out of seclusion toward the capital's temple, where Luffy is said to serve as a priest. But dragging a time bomb in the shape of a man all the way to the capital is not simple when you are alone and Law has no option but to accept the growing number of people who seem to be drawn into Luffy's orbit and who decide to accompany them on the journey

#one piece #lawlu #lulaw #Law said 'I want to live in peace alone in a forest' and Luffy took it as a personal challenge #is just one piece but magical shapped #also luffy is about to explode #Other than that it's basically magic op #law said 'I want to take Luffy to the temple as quickly and as peacefully as possible' and EVERYONE took this as a personal challenge #nakamaship is what it is #Luffy is Nika but I think we already knew that.#he simply sealed himself in a human form or something and ended up awakening the seal when he began unconsciously healing Law's wings.#law said 'I don't want friends' and as always people felt challenged #People need to leave this guy alone he's going to have an aneurysm #This was supposed to be a winged au but I forgot what I was going to write lol #There is Zoro a half-blood tiger #Sanji a fugitive prince #Ussop a cursed wooden doll whose magic is highly fabricated based on his lies #Nami a witch who doesn't seem to know she has witch blood #Robin a mysterious shapeshifter who refuses to show her animal form (shes a godamn octopus)#Franky a robot who #similar to ussop #was cursed with sapience #Brook an undead whose bones were the only thing left #And Jimbe a fishman who was far from home at sea #they simply meet on the way #they look at Luffy (a strange and very friendly guy who attracts them) and Law (a grumpy guy who doesn't want them around)#they think 'hmm I should join the party'#much to law's despair lmao

Dark forest

HQ 3k full artwork + before and after here Wonderfully beautiful prince of the magical kingdom of Metamoor/Meridian. Ruler of monsters, a powerful sorcerer, heir to the throne of Escanor, possessing the power of light, he retires into his dark gardens and forests to create loyal servants from flowers and his blood and flesh, the Murmurers or Whisperers, and then an army from them. And he seized power, since there was a matriarchy in the kingdom. I like his unusual image and character, although he lacks depth and elaboration due to the original format (comics and animated series). But what if we look differently and deeper? He is not as evil as he is portrayed, he does not execute or kill even rebels and opponents of his power, at least he is more merciful than the kings of the Middle Ages. And still, he is a smart ruler, an excellent strategist and politician, he grew up in the palace and knows the rules games, unlike his stupid little sister Elion, who has no control abilities.

Matriarchy in the royal family is explained by the transfer of special magical powers through the female line, but we see that Phobos is still stronger, so much so that he became a threat to all worlds, that he wanted to take over the entire universe and establish his own order. It was because of him that the Veil was created to protect all worlds from Meridian/Phobos. However, this caused damage to the kingdom, they became isolated from all worlds, trade stopped and a crisis began in the country. Phobos originally hoped to break through the Veil and free Meridian, but for this he needs more magical powers, and he draws them from the land of Meridian, sacrificing the fertility of fields and gardens. As far as I remember, he did not want the death of his kingdom, there is a phrase that he says that he needs the power of Elion, otherwise Meridian will come to an end. This means that he is still worried about leaving strength for the country.

I'm leaving out some of the silly bits in the story, as well as some of the plot points that don't make sense, but overall, I like to think along those lines.

Also, it seems to me that his androgynous image is explained by the fact that when he was born, he was raised as a girl in some way (remember Gwyndolin from Dark Souls), since the country was a matriarchy, and the queen thought that he was the only heir. He was taught to be a ruler. And he grew up with this thought until Elion was born, a girl to whom all power would be transferred. And this could greatly hurt his ego, destroy his goals and years of preparation for the throne, and it is understandable. He's not a hero, but he's not the pure evil that people want to make him out to be. He's more in the gray area.

Untitled CS Enchanted Forest AU

So I found this WIP in my Google Docs that I started forever ago and thought that I would share some of it as a bit of sneak peak.

Emma tried not to stare at him, she really did but he struck such an impressive figure that it was hard not to. Captain Killian Jones stood at a large table across the room, staring intently at the map that was on it while having an intense conversation with her father King David. He was so very handsome with his bright blue eyes, raven colored hair and his chiseled features. Not that she would ever tell him that his ego was already big enough as it is, no her ever growing infatuation for the pirate will forever remain her secret.

Emma remembers when her parents announced that they were seeking the help of a former pirate with their fight against Regina. She had been shocked at the idea, imagine trusting a pirate (because that is what he was no matter what he said) with their kingdom's military secrets and strategies, what had her parents been thinking. It was only when they sat her down and explained how dire their circumstances truly were that she understood the need for such a radical decision.

Growing up Emma had heard the stories about her parents' battles with Regina or “The Evil Queen” as she was called throughout the Enchanted Forest and that she had been banished a short time after Emma was born for failing to enact the Dark Curse. Truth be told Emma hadn’t ever really given the woman much thought, she was gone and couldn’t hurt her family anymore or so she had thought. She had been 10 years old when it happened, her and her father had been riding through the kingdom when suddenly soldiers all in black came charging out of the forest and swarmed them.

Her father tried to fight them off but he had been vastly outnumbered, fearing that she was going to lose her father Emma felt anger like never before swell up inside of her. And when she let out a scream something unbelievable happened, a blinding light shot out of her and knocked the soldiers backwards. That was when Emma and her learned that she has magic and Regina was back.

For many years after that Emma learned about her magic and how to control it all while fearing for her family and the future of the kingdom. On the day she met Captain Jones her parents explained that Regina had been gaining followers and sympathy throughout the wild southern regions and her forces had begun to push through their outer defenses. They thought that with his past as a pirate Jones would be able to gather information in places they could not. Emma hadn’t known what to expect, she was picturing a weathered, haggard old man with a wooden leg and one eye but when the most handsome man dressed in head to toe black leather she had ever seen walked through the doors of the throne room to say she was shocked was an understatement.

Emma had instantly been captivated by him, his swagger, his confidence, until he opened his mouth and she realized how insufferable he really was. The man was a walking innuendo and she was sure that if he hadn’t had been such a fantastic asset to their cause that her father would have had him hanged ages ago. So what if her heart flutters every time he’s near or skips a beat when he throws a flirtatious smile her way, he was a scoundrel and that was that.

“Emma!" The sound of her mother's voice broke her from her musings of the past. Emma turned her head to see Snow hurriedly make her way over to her.

but the entrails are the best part! by supercrunch

Summary: The boy straightens up. He’s about half a head shorter than Katsuki, face soft and youthful and sweet. He turns to look at him properly. His dark hair shines in the dying light, basket of blooms looped over one arm and mouth quirked into a tiny half-smile. The sun hits his face and makes his eyes a bright greeny-gold, just like emeralds.

Katsuki likes emeralds.

“Pretty,” he says, reaching out and picking the stranger up around the middle. He’s surprisingly heavy, although Katsuki doesn’t mind. “I like you. Come see my nest.”

The boy hits him.

He’s stronger than he looks, turns out. Katsuki drops him and falls onto his back, pain blooming across his face. Birds sing. The sky’s a lovely shade of orange, clouds floating lazily by. The boy scarpers. He leaves his basket of flowers behind, footsteps thumping on the ground and fading away as he escapes.

The sun sets. Katsuki, lying flat on his back with a bloody nose, decides he’s just fallen in love.

Someone Like You

Hello everyone! This has been a little bit overdue heh but I'm finally ready to start posting for @tsspromptmonth ! The first few chapters are still not the parts I wrote but the wonderful parts @prince-rowan-of-the-forest wrote! So give them credit for those! I'll be posting a chapter every week, if anyone would like me to tag them to get notified feel free to reach out in the asks or dms^^

Chapter one | next

Summary: after you get into an accident that leaves you with chronic pain and partial blindness and causes you to get bullied and laughed at at school and the only friend you ever had ditches you for the pupolar friend group, you kinda don't really feel like connecting with anyone anymore... even if you do have a crush on them. So, of course, now you're forced to work with them on a project for English class... what could possibly go wrong?

Pairings: pre romantic Roceit, platonic LAMP

Warnings: bullying, public humiliation, unsympathetic Janus (kinda? He's being mean a lot but it's kinda understandable), misunderstandings, self degrading thoughts, chronic pain, partial blindness, trying to hide your disability, lying, low self esteem, unrequired love(for now), swearing. I think that's it but let me know if I missed anything.

Word count: 2,898

Growing up, Janus had always been different. He liked to hide in the shadows, he lied far more often than was necessary, to the point where the people who knew him knew to take most things he said to mean the opposite, when he wasn’t lying he was either too shy to speak or rude to anyone who bothered trying.

And of course, there was a massive scar across half of his face. Yeah, that was a pretty big one. He’d gotten it during the car accident that killed his mother when he was very young, since then he’d been blind in one eye and had bad vision in the other, his habit of lying had gotten even worse and he often felt terrible pains in his left limbs which the doctor had said may be chronic and probably wouldn’t go away any time soon and no matter how many physio sessions he attended or meds he took the pains never really seemed to leave him alone.

Whenever he went outside people always seemed to stare, odd looks seemed to follow him wherever he went, sympathy was the best he could hope for, pity was the most common, disgust he’d come to expect, hatred towards him just for existing was something he’d gotten used to over the years.

Now, ten years since the accident, he’d gotten used to everything that came from being different. The stares in the school hallways when he used his cane, the angry looks when he bumped into someone on the street, not realising that they were as close as they were, usually when they were on his blind side.

He got angry look after angry look from his teachers when he lied time and time again. The exasperated look his therapist always gave him when he’d come back every week only to report little progress as always.

Unfortunately, now that he was older, a junior in highschool, he was starting to realise there were a few more issues than just the looks and the lies. At the age of seventeen Janus started to notice things. He noticed the two seniors walking arm in arm down the hall. He accidentally walked in on two of his classmates doing the devil’s tango in the bathroom more than once (which had immediately made it onto his short list of reasons he wished he was fully blind, possibly deaf too). He noticed his classmates passing notes in the seats in front of him, the notes adorned with little hearts or smiley faces which made the receiver blush and turn away with a silent giggle.

The romance was everywhere now when it hadn’t been so prominent before, and like a lot of other kids his age, Janus was starting to want it too. The issue he faced was… well who would ever love him?

Of course it was easy to notice the beautiful girls and even more beautiful boys getting together, it was in plain sight, like everyone had suddenly decided to pair off. But he also noticed the kids who didn’t meet society's strict (and stupid, in Janus’ humble opinion) standards for beauty. The girl with acne, the boy who was slightly overweight, the trans girl in his class who hadn’t been able to transition quite yet, the girl who liked to have her hair short and clothes baggy just because. None of those people had been able to pair off, whether they wanted to or not, they sat alone at lunch and in class, they didn’t get invited to parties or get partners for dances.

Janus noticed all this because he was one of those people too. The popular kids would fling insults and slurs at him like he was a witch in a medieval stoning, they would point at him discreetly in the halls and laugh. They'd throw paper balls at the back of his head in class. He'd even been pummelled by a basketball once because kids really didn't know when to stop. He’d had his lunch smacked from his hands, he’d been shoved and pushed and kicked while he was down. Janus knew what it was like, and he knew his crowd.

Unfortunately, that didn’t mean his heart would obey him and stick to that crowd.

Because Janus found his eye wandering in class, he couldn’t help the way he was drawn in, like iron to a magnet, and he hated it. He despised the feeling so deeply, because it made him want. It made him want for something he was sure he could never hope to have.

Roman was somehow both a prep and a jock, a theatre kid who always seemed to be the centre of attention in whatever situation he found himself in. Roman was the prime example of the people who bullied him. If someone asked Janus to point out the kind of person who made fun of him in the corridors, he’d tell them ‘people like Roman’ because there he was, strutting down the middle of the corridor with his friends, wearing his custom varsity jacket (with a golden crown and his last name- Prince- printed on the back in gold). They would walk past and people would get out of the way, they would walk into a class and everyone would stare, but never in the same way they stared at him.

Roman might be the prime example of one of his bullies, but funnily enough Roman himself had never done anything to him. At least not in person. Janus had no way of knowing what was said behind his back (a lot was said behind his back) but he did know that Roman had never been the one to throw the basketball, Roman had never shoved him out of the way, he’d never tripped him or smacked his lunch to the floor. In fact, Roman had never interacted with him at all.

And yet for some reason, Janus’ heart longed for him, that glittery eyeshadow, those bright green eyes, his brown hair that seemed to shine red and gold in the light. But despite his own wants he knew it wouldn't happen, he wouldn't even attempt to lie to himself, there was no hope for him.

If anyone asked, which they never did, Janus would say he despised the other boy. Hated the way he leant back on his chair during English class without a care in the world. He would say he hated the way he could hear Roman's melodic laugh over the cacophony of the cafeteria. The way his eye was always drawn to the guy when he acted so perfectly in their drama class. Hated the way Roman’s hair shone shades of rust and gold and brown in the sun, hated the way his green eyes reminded him of a forest in the summer, hated the way he was able to speak loud and free like he’d never experienced a problem in his life.

Roman was so far out of his league they weren't even playing the same sport- or- whatever the hell that idiom was supposed to mean. Not only that but Roman was already taken, by the stupid emo kid who used to be his best friend, in fact.

Used to be his best friend, that is, until Virgil ditched him the moment he got a chance to be part of the cooler group. The moment he realised that Patton didn't mind his dark makeup and Roman found his dark mysterious aesthetic interesting he’d been gone. He had lost his best friend to the popular kids four years ago, it was only last year when the rumours that Roman and Virgil had started dating began to spread and it made Janus' chest ache with jealousy.

But Janus got on with things despite that. He tried not to glance at Virgil when he passed him in the halls, he tried not to stare at Roman during class and when he sat alone at lunch. He tried to keep himself as mysterious and elusive as he could- he didn't talk to anyone if he could help it and when he had to he spoke in backwards riddles and lies, safe to say no-one wanted to be paired with him for group projects.

And then came one horrible day. It had already been an awful day for him already. His scars were acting up, feeling like they were pulled tight and they itched- they itched so badly despite the lotions and oils he had to put on them every morning. On top of that he'd forgotten both his hat and his glasses when he'd ran out of the house late and he'd been tripped in the corridor twice, it was only his second lesson of the day.

Janus wanted nothing more than to sink through the floor as their teacher went on and on about something or another that he'd catch up on later because he could never focus when he was around other people even when he could actually see what was on the screen. That was until he heard those dreaded words.

"You'll be doing this homework project in pairs!" Their teacher announced and Janus could practically feel the eyes land on him before people glanced away to look at their friends, wondering who would be unlucky enough to end up with him this time.

"Can we choose our own partner?" A girl asked, her voice quiet and tentative as if she didn't want to give the teacher the idea she was hoping the answer would be yes.

The class held their breaths in wait for the answer. The teacher's simple yes or no answer would determine what happened next. If she said yes it would be a chaotic scramble to pair up, a race not to be the last person left without a partner. Because of course the last person to find a partner would end up with Janus.

"No," She said, and now all the class could do was hope, "I’ve bade a list of your partner assignments, please find your name on here and move to sit next to your partner,"

Janus just stayed where he was. He couldn't see the list without his glasses anyway and whoever was his partner would come and sit next to him eventually, probably after asking the teacher if they could switch. Meanwhile Janus looked down at the sheets in front of him, trying to work out though blurry vision and painful scars what the hell they had been learning about.

"Hey," Someone said, sitting down next to him, "You're Janus, right? I'm your partner,"

Janus just hummed, he didn't bother to look up, if he waited long enough maybe his partner would just give up and decide to get on with it by themself.

"Um- I don't think we've ever talked before, but I'm Roman, Prince," He said, Janus' head snapped up and he blinked rapidly, hoping his eyes would actually give him a clearer picture for omce. It really was Roman, honestly fuck him. The universe really seemed to hate him today, "Nice to meet you?"

"Oh won't this be fun," Janus said quietly, he didn't have the energy to muster his usual snippy tone, push him away, his brain said, there's no point in even trying, "Stuck with the class pretty-boy,"

"You will have a month to complete the project," The teacher announced, interrupting whatever taunt or jab Roman probably had prepared for him, a month, seriously? "And I expect you to work with your partner outside of class for this project, I will not be giving you time during classes after today to work on this,"

"Fantastic," Janus said, completely deadpan, he could already hear whispers from other pairs, people pitying Roman for getting stuck with him, but Roman didn't seem to notice in the slightest, he simply placed a notebook on the table and grabbed a pen- a sparkly red glitter gel pen with a plume of tinsel coming from the top- before turning to him again.

"So… any ideas of what we could do?" Roman asked, looking at him with a smile, it was sweet of him to try, Janus thought. He'd give up eventually, just like anyone else.

"I totally know exactly what we're supposed to be doing right now," Janus answered, hand subconsciously going to scratch at the spot by his ear where scar tissue met skin. He grimaced when a nail caught on the rough skin, causing a sharp yanking pain and suddenly he was once again reminded of why he wasn't supposed to scratch the scars. He picked up a pen and began to twirl it instead.

"We're making a project in the format of our choice based around Macbeth," Roman explained with a little bit of a laugh in his voice, Janus sighed, it sounded like a lot of work- and it meant that Janus would actually have to read the Shakespeare play, damn, "So… any ideas of what we could do? It doesn't seem very limited, as long as it's based on the play, so…"

"Nope, no ideas at all," Janus said, flicking his pen effortlessly over his fingers now. He did have an idea or two, but he really didn't feel like sharing, just thinking about Roman made him want to shrivel up and die, let alone being open towards the guy.

"Oh- well that's ok," Roman said with a smile that Janus was certain was forced, even though he couldn’t see, any smile directed at him was usually forced, "Hey- um- here, I'll give you my phone number so we can work out a time to work on this ok?"

"Right," Janus said, taking the paper Roman offered him a moment later. He only fumbled a little bit.

"So I thought it would be fun to do something creative! Like.. we could rewrite the script but modernised! Or- hm- what if we filmed it like a movie?"

"We have a month to do this and you expect us, two highschoolers with zero experience, one of whom can barely move at the best of times, to be able to make a whole movie?" Janus asked, staring at Roman in genuine shock. He shrugged.

"I don't see why not!" He huffed, and, ok, so this guy was delusional, Janus could… probably work with that? "Unless you don't like the idea of course, I believe we could do it,"

"Alright sure, say I was ok with this completely rational idea, where the hell would we film it? On what equipment?" Janus said, glaring at him.

"Well…" Roman said, thinking, "Me and you would obviously act- and don't say you can't act because I've seen you in drama, you do well when you're not paired with someone who's an asshole,"

Janus just stared at him, Roman actually knew he existed? Let alone remember him?

"I could find somewhere for us to film, we just need some kind of castle-ish place… maybe we could use a church? And as for filming… I think my dad might have a tripod? We can just use one of our phones or something…"

"I can't believe I'm actually agreeing to this," Janus sighed, "Can't we just make a stupid PowerPoint slide like normal people,"

"We could," Roman said, before smiling, "But that would be dreadfully boring, wouldn't it?"

Janus just hummed and tried to hide a smile. He looked at his notebook, going to begin writing down plans for their project before realising that oh yeah, his vision was still too blurry to see anything in enough detail to write legibly. He sighed and looked back over at Roman, who was still watching him.

"Is everything alright?" Roman asked, he must've noticed Janus pause.

"I'm fine," Janus said, on instinct at this point, closing his book, "We should plan in your notebook,"

"Oh, ok!" Roman said, shrugging as he turned to a new page in his notebook, flicking the lid off of his gel pen and writing, in big enough letters to make out "Macbeth The Movie" in swirling fancy cursive the middle of the page and underlining it. Underneath he wrote some more things, but Janus couldn't make them out.

"You do realise this play is five acts long, don't you?" Janus asked as Roman scribbled down some more stuff on the next page, before looking up.

"Yeah? So?" Roman asked.

"It has over two hours of runtime," Janus said slowly, hoping to guide Roman into realising what an immense and stupid project this would be.

"And?"

"Hollywood films of the same length can take years to film," Janus reasoned, talking slowly.

"We can do this, Janus!" Roman said firmly, determination in his voice, "No need to be so gloomy! We're not Hollywood, we don't need fancy costumes or scriptwriting or anything! It won't take as long as that!"

"Your endless optimism already astounds me…." Janus muttered, beginning to pack away his things. “I suppose we can try, at least.”

"Just text me," Roman said with a smile that, for some reason, seemed genuine, "We can meet up later to plan this out properly,"

Janus just nodded as the bell rang before standing up and heading for the door, silently praying that he wouldn't be tripped again, not here, not in front of his stupid stupid crush who for some reason was actually being nice to him

A Crooked Cottagecore Fairytale AU

Time and time again, it’s always the witch kidnapping the princess and the prince saving her, but not this story, not this time.

The witch has kidnapped the princess, but in a surprisingly wholesome twist, she’s saved her from an arranged marriage, causing the princess to feel indebted to the witch. She helps her around the house with chores, brewing, and errands – slowly but surely, they fall for one another in this inadvertently quintessential cottagecore life.

The prince, however, was not all too pleased with losing his bride. He hunts down the witch, “saves” the princess, and arranges for the sorceress’ execution. In a fit of rage, the princess fights her way through her family, political treason, and life itself to save her witch and ensure their own happy ending.

Fairy Forest Chap. 1-A Winter Fairy

Hello all!! Welcome to my newest fanfiction!!

So I had Fairy Forest Au in my backlog of AHIT AU’S and after a few months, I started to come up with ideas for this fic and now was the time for me to share this.

This specific fanfic isn’t gonna be so story-focused, except for the first couple of chapters, and would just focus on the Prince and his fairy friends having cute, angst, and just whatever topic moments.

BIG THANKS to @gigilefache for beta reading! You're the best!!

Enjoy!

It was a blissful summer day, warm sun rays beaming down as an 8-year-old boy was running up to his favorite spot in the woods to read some books. This was his summer routine since school ended.

Once getting to his favorite spot, Luka put his bag down and grabbed the book he was reading from his bag. Just seconds as he started reading Luka heard a rustle in the bushes. Luka dropped his book and waited quietly.

However, to Luka’s surprise, it wasn’t a monster or some wild animal, but a tiny fairy.

She had long blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and blue and green fairy wings. She wore a mint green dress with a light blue ribbon tied to the back, white stockings, and dark green shoes.

“A fairy!” Luka whispered. He slowly crawled closer to the fairy and saw the fairy wasn’t in the best of shape. She looked injured, tired, and a bit dehydrated. Quickly, Luka scooped the fairy into his hands and took her to a nearby river to get something to drink.

Using a nearby leaf, Luka was able to get a small scoop of water and handed it to the fairy. Weakly, the fairy opened her eyes and saw the water on the leaf. Slowly she grabbed it and took little sips of water, letting out a happy sigh.

“Thank you.” She beamed to the human.

“You’re welcome!” Luka replied. The fairy blinked and was able to flutter her wings to get a closer look at her savior. Luka was confused as the fairy scanned him from top to bottom.

“You’re a human, aren't you?” The fairy asked. Luka nodded in reply. “You do look small for a human.”

Luka chuckled. “Well, I’m only 8. Still a kid.” He explained.

“Oh!” The fairy exclaimed. “You’re a kid like me!”

Luka smiled. “I’m Luka by the way.”

“My name is Vanessa. I’m a winter fairy.” She replied, introducing herself.

“What’s a winter fairy?” Luka asked.

“Glad you asked!” Vanessa cleared her throat . “A winter fairy brings the cold and snow during winter. We’re the ones that bring the clouds and create the snowflakes. We can stay in seasons that are not winter, but not for long.”

That made sense as to why Vanessa was found weak and tired. “So why are you here? It’s the middle of summer, one of the hottest seasons.” Luka asked.

Vanessa chuckled. “Well, I wanted to leave Fairy Woods and explore what’s out there. My mother never lets me leave the forest, so I snuck out.” She explained. “However, it was horrible. I got chased by birds, and squirrels, and got caught in some branches!” Vanessa crossed her arms and gave a pout.

“So that’s why she looks all messed up.” Luka thought. He then saw Vanessa’s pouty face and tried to hold in his laugh.

Vanessa glared hearing the chuckle. “What’s so funny?” She asked.

“Your face puffs up when you pout.” Luka chuckled.

Vanessa was confused until she saw her reflection in the river and her face turned red as a tomato which made Luka laugh even harder. Vanessa glared and flew over to Luka, punching him, but it felt like being poked in the stomach making him laugh harder.

“Stop laughing at me! You meanie!” Vanessa whined, which made Luka continue to laugh.

Soon Luka started to calm down and took a couple of deep breaths. “Sorry.” He apologized.

Vanessa sighed and crossed her arms, turning away from the human child. “My mother was right, humans are mean.” She mumbled.

“Huh?” Luka asked, confused.

“Humans are mean and dangerous,” Vanessa said a bit louder.

“Not all humans. Most are really nice and caring.” Luka explained. Vanessa glanced at him before turning away. “I-I’m sorry I laughed at you. I wasn’t being mean.”

“Well, you were! You laughed at me!” Vanessa yelled.

“Only because when you pout you look cute!” Luka replied but covered his mouth calling the winter fairy cute.

Vanessa gasped, blushing again as she was called cute. “Um…Thank you.”

Luka slowly removed his hand from his mouth and started to blush too. “You’re welcome.” The two stood there wondering what they should say to each other next.

Vanessa looked around to see what she should talk about next. She then spotted Luka’s book and her brain formed an idea. “So what were you doing in the woods?” She asked.

“Reading, actually. It’s my vacation and I figured I'd catch up.” Luka replied.

“What were you reading?”

“A story about this pegasus looking for her family,” Luka explained. Vanessa’s eyes lit up hearing the story. Luka looked into it and smiled, “If you’d like to read alongside me?”

Vanessa’s wings fluttered repeatedly as she danced in the air. “Sure!” She sang. Luka chuckled and went back to his spot as he reopened the book. Before he read he caught Vanessa up to speed on the story, where the unicorn came from and how she’s traveling with a princess to help her find her friends and family. Vanessa’s eyes widened hearing about the story as she sat on Luka’s shoulder and watched him read.

A few hours into the book, Luka almost didn't notice that the sun started to set. Vanessa let out a yawn as she tiredly floated away from Luka. The latter also saw it started to get late and closed his book and grabbed his bag. “That was fun,” Vanessa said, tiredly.

“Yep! Will I see you again tomorrow?” Luka asked.

Vanessa smiled and nodded. “I promise to show up as early as possible!” She replied.

Luka smiled. “Alright, see you tomorrow.” The two started to go the opposite directions walking home. Once they were near their homes, they both smiled knowing they made a new friend.

“I’m friends with a human.” Vanessa thought.

“I’m friends with a fairy.” Luka thought.

Throughout the rest of the summer, Luka and Vanessa spent time together in the forest. Some days they’ll be sitting under the tree as Luka reads a book he got from home and tells Vanessa everything about the story as the fairy listens.

There were times when Vanessa and Luka went on hikes in the woods. Vanessa picked flowers and handed them to Luka, which made him smile. “Thanks.” He said as Vanessa put a flower in his hair.

“You’re welcome!” Vanessa beamed.

Those days were fun, but every night after hanging out with his new fairy friend the days till school started were coming closer and closer. Luka knew he had to tell his new friend the truth soon.

By morning Luka was sitting at his favorite tree waiting for Vanessa to show up. Once he heard a giggle and the sound of bells he knew Vanessa was near, just hiding.

Vanessa smiled and landed on Luka’s head. “Found you!” She giggled.

Luka giggled. “Hey, Vanessa!”

“Ready to have fun again?” Vanessa asked.

Luka nodded. “However, before we play. I do need to tell you something.”

Vanessa saw the frown on Luka’s face. “Is it bad?” She asked.

“Well, I have to go back to school next week, and I won’t be able to play with you for a while,” Luka explained.

Vanessa looked heartbroken and sad seeing her friend was about to leave her. No, she wasn’t going to lose hope. Luka was bound to come back. Right? “B-but you’ll come back, right?” She asked.

Luka sighed. “I don’t know.” He replied. “I go to a boarding school far from here. I won’t be back till the holidays.” Vanessa frowned as she started to flutter down to the ground upset. Luka frowned and crouched down, “Hey I’m not gonna leave forever.”

“But you're leaving me,” Vanessa replied.

“Not for long! Just a couple of months!” Luka exclaimed. “I was hoping we could have the best fun day before I go back. Please.”

Vanessa glanced at Luka who looked upset and was begging for Vanessa to understand. Vanessa sighed and fluttered up to face him. “Promise me you’ll come back, okay?” She begged.

“I will. Okay!” Luka exclaimed. He then saw a yellow dandelion and picked it from the ground before handing it to Vanessa. The winter fairy looked down at the dandelion and back at Luka. She put the dandelion in her hair and smiled.

Throughout the day, the two made the most of their time together. Luka barely did any reading and just had fun exploring the forest with Vanessa. By the end of the day, Vanessa and Luka said their final goodbyes at the tree where they first met.

“Luka,” Vanessa spoke up. Luka looked up at his fairy friend. “Thank you for everything this summer.”

“No problem,” Luka replied.

Vanessa blushed nervously for a while. She wanted to say something to Luka, but she felt too nervous to tell him. Luka saw the fairy acting all nervous and felt concerned. “You okay Vanessa?” He asked.

Without thinking Vanessa flew and kissed Luka on the cheek. Luka’s face turned red as a tomato shocked that a fairy had kissed him. Embarrassment rushed through Vanessa’s mind as she flew away. “S-Sorry! Why did I do that? Why? Why!” She cried.

Luka stood there shocked as he slowly walked home holding his cheek. He wasn’t disgusted that Vanessa kissed him, but felt grateful someone liked him.

A couple of months had passed since their last meeting. At times Vanessa would fly back thinking Luka was back from school, but never saw the young boy return. She got worried he broke his promise and would fly back home in sadness.

However, she didn’t lose hope. She knew Luka would come back. Even if she had to wait months, even years or even if she found him herself; she would wait for him.
