Poppy and Cas imagine.
Request -" imagine where poppy is bored, so she goes looking around the stuff in their room. And she finds Miss Willa’s diary. And starts reading it and sometime later, Cas walks in to see her asleep with the diary in her hands and smiles to himself."
A.N - this is a completely imaginary fic. I know that this doesn't match the actual plotline, but I thought we needed something like this after the bomb that JLA dropped. Also, if you haven't heard the news, JLA released the first 3 chapters of #TCOGB. Go check it out, link in her insta bio. And, don't forget to check out my FBAA fanfic/book on Wattpad. here

Poppy’s P.O.V
It’s been a week since...well, a lot happened. Since the day we reached Atlantia. The day my husband bowed in front of me and called me his queen. His wife. The day I found out about my incredibly odd heritage.
I had a lot of questions. Some of them, the answers were nowhere to be found. To say my introduction to my in-laws was interesting would be an understatement. We were still in Saion’s Cove. At Least until we figure some stuff out. The people here are not exactly welcoming towards me. But, they never said anything bad/harsh to me either. And that was because they feared me. I could feel it. Whenever we were in the dining hall, having supper, or when Kieran or Casteel took me to show the city around, I could feel the stares of people on me along with a bitter taste of distrust and fear. Their fear usually clouded any tiny amount of happiness that their prince has returned. Casteel knew it. But, neither of us spoke about that, because, after what happened near the chambers of Nyktos, we knew that this was sure to happen. I mean, if you saw someone make blood rain from the sky, and someone who can turn your emotions onto you, can you be blamed for being scared?
The whole week, I rarely saw Casteel’s parents. I saw them only during lunch and supper and during our meetings with the people of Saion’s Cove, which usually made me feel incredibly uncomfortable with all the attention.
Today, I woke up to someone, or something brushing my nose. I opened my eyes to see a smiling Casteel holding a feather near my nose. The look in his eyes can only be described as mischievous. Before I could open my mouth, his hands were at my side, his legs on either side of mine as he straddled me. “ Good morning, My Queen”, He said before he started tickling me. That bastard. I tried to push him off me, only to have him hold me down with his hips. “Stop!” I yelled, between giggles/laughs. “Casteel! Stop!”.
He just laughed. My stomach was aching due to laughing so hard. “Casteel! Stop it now!”
He pulled away, grinning. I focused on my breathing, taking deep breaths to regain my breath. When I did, he leaned in again, but before he could do anything, I flipped him onto the bed and straddled him, holding his hands up above his head. He chuckled. “You do realize that you look so incredibly hot sitting on top of me. Right?” I flushed. Gods! Can he be any more annoying? “ You are twisted” I muttered, only to receive a chuckle in return. “And you love it.” He said. True.
We were silent for a moment, staring into each other's eyes. He slowly leaned up, brushing his lips against mine. I let go of his hands as he pulled me onto him without breaking the kiss, His hands went to my hair as I wrapped mine around his neck. His fangs grazed my lower lip, making me gasp. My lips parted and he deepened the kiss, letting his tongue explore my mouth. I pulled away for breath. This didn’t stop him as his lips moved to my jaw, my neck, and below…

If I sit here for one more minute, I would probably burst into flames. After, well, our little session in the morning, Casteel suggested we have a * lazy* day, stay in our chamber all day long and do nothing. Of course, I denied it. So, we went out to the meadow to spar. That helped me take my mind off things. And honestly, I felt a lot better after the few -intriguing- days we have had.
“Princess, I could watch you fight all day long.” He said when we returned after about an hour. Then, he decided to show me around the place. And the only place I absolutely loved was the library. It was huge. When I say huge, I mean, a library twice the size of what we had in Castle Teerman. And that was a big one.
When we returned to our chamber after lunch, Kieran had turned up at our door, saying that Casteel’s father wanted to see him. He told me it wouldn’t take long and left after kissing my forehead. And now, here I was, bored out of my mind. I had nothing to do except, well, wait.
And at the moment, I was ready to do anything but that. So, I decided to look around the room.
Our bed-chamber was similar to the one we had in Spressa’s End. It had a cupboard, a four-poster bed, and a liquor cabinet. There was a large window with floor-length curtains on the east.
On the other side, there was a small fireplace with some cushions near it. On the table near the bed, there was a basket of laundered clothes. I looked for something comfortable and changed into a light blue nightgown that barely reached my knees.
Now, I had to choose to either read a book I took from the library or take a nap. I opted for the former and picked up a random book from the pile on the bedside cupboard. My expression changed as I saw the title. “The diary of Miss Willa Collins” was written in italics on the cover. I smiled, remembering the first time Hawke caught me reading this book; I was hanging from the Duke’s window. And then, he teased me innumerable times after that. I can’t believe he brought it with him. I flushed remembering the times he brought up this book when we were talking and when he said about how inappropriate it was for a “maiden” to read it. (ofc he was joking)
I sit down by the fireplace with the book in my hands and start reading.
“His appearance could only be described as god-like, with the beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, his blond hair all messed up, and gods, his touch should be forbidden, A gasp escaped my lips as he blew lightly on my stomach. His blue eyes were clouded with lust as he kissed his way up. As his mouth traveled north, his hand slowly made its way south, below my navel, and even lower, earning a moan from me……”
My eyelids felt heavy as I read, and I fell asleep soon after.

Casteel’s POV (This is gonna be fun)
“Inform Nova that we will have a few more people ready for training by dusk today.”, I say Delano as we head back to my chamber. Kieran had left halfway through the meeting when Jasper called for him. So, I asked Delano to find some volunteers to train to be sent to Spressa’s end. After the attack, we lost many lives. To prevent further losses, father thought it was best to send some warriors there. Kieran suggested that we have the people here ready in case of another attack, which we suspect would be soon.
“ Okay, see you at supper, Cas.” Delano said as we near the chamber. With a smile, I nod and open the door to my room. I can finally spend some quality time with my wife. And after the meeting with my father, I sure as hell need it. He wasn’t exactly fond of her yet, but I am sure he will come around. I walk in to see Poppy asleep near the fireplace with a book in her hands. She looked so peaceful and adorable.
I pick up the book from her hands and notice that it was Miss Willa’s diary. I smile at her interesting choice of reading and lift her in my arms. I walk up to the bed and lay her there. I climb up beside her and drape the blanket over us, snuggling closer to her. “Such a dirty mind, Princess ”, I murmur as I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
