Day 1: Faunus Princess x Human Partner
@bumblebyweek-blog
My hands were shaking for most of the day after working this since like 3AM with only caffeine and nicotine on my system.
Anyways lil-ish background:
Blake is a princess. Her parents had arranged to have her marry Adam. At first, it wasn't so bad. They were childhood friends and had similar views when it came to the politics of their kingdom. But after a while, Blake had noticed changes in Adam. He was acting sus. Like tyranny type sus. So, Blake decided it'd b best to annul their marriage contract. Tho Adam didn't want to, so he threatened he'd hurt her family if she spoke of it ever again.
Yang is a human, she works as a bounty hunter, mainly capturing faunus spies, and occasionally helping her sister exterminate Grimm. She wasn't a fan of the whole faunus capturing, but it was what brought food to the table. She tried her best to keep Ruby out of it, knowing she was against it, especially since once captured, the king (Weiss's dad. Forgot homeboy's name) of their kingdom would publicly execute faunus.
During an aimless walk outside castle walls, Blake ended up in human territory. Yang had also been out of the walls of her kingdom on a job to capture a faunus spy that escaped.
Once Blake saw Yang, she assumed Yang was a a spy so she attacked. Yang fought back with a similar thought believing Blake was the spy she was looking for.
Blake ends up pinning Yang down and begins interrogating her, asking why she was sneaking around faunus territory. Once Yang confesses that they were on human territory, Blake backs away and apologizes.
It's then Yang's turn to interrogate Blake. Once Blake confesses that she was unaware of being on human territory, Yang helps her get back to the faunus kingdom.
On the next day, they met again by chance. After hearing complaints of her people being afraid to go out after a Grimm sighting, Blake sets out to hunt it down. Yang was out still looking for her target.
They find each other, Yang teasing Blake for being in human territory yet again.
Their convo is cut short by a few Grimm appearing. During the fight, Blake finds out Yang has the same sense of humor as a 10 year old.
Yang escorts Blake back to faunus territory. They keep talking before Blake can leave, Yang complimenting Blake for her fighting style, and Blake teasing her over her bad jokes.
Before they knew it, the sun was setting, and they had to go their separate ways. Blake returns successfully from defeating the Grimm terrorizing the town, and Yang returned unsuccessful from capturing her target, but was content after the day she spent with Blake.
The following day, Yang sets out again to look for the spy. Blake on the other hand decides to go out for a chance to meet up with Yang again. Yang was a breath of fresh air compared to having to stay in the castle and risk bumping into Adam.
This time, Ruby was accompanying Yang. Ruby was first to spot Blake. Ruby believing she was the spy they were looking for, had drawn out her weapon. Blake herself got into a fighting stance, but before they could attack, Yang interviened and explained to Ruby that Blake was not the person they were after.
Yang introduced them both, but before she could introduce Blake, she had figured that she never got her name, or that she knew hers.
After a while, Ruby had decided to head back home, seeing she was just a third wheel as her sister shamelessly flirted with the faunus girl.
After that day, both Blake and Yang decided to meet each other more often.
During a meet up, Yang had asked Blake to accompany her to a dance, she even gifted her a ribbon to hide her ears.
Hesitant, Blake agreed, also admiting that she was no good at dancing. She may have been a princess, but she skipped a lot of etiquette classes, dance being a big one she avoided, she'd rather learn how to fight.
Yang offered to teach her. They danced, there were a couple of mishaps with Blake occasionally stepping on Yang's foot or accidentally tripping her.
On the day of the dance, Adam was stalking Blake, he suspected of Blake after noticing how often she disappeared the past couple of days.
He followed her all the way outside kingdom walls, and when he noticed the ribbon she wore to hide her ears, he got angry and confronted her. They argued, and in a fury he ripped the ribbon off Blake. Blake tried to retrieve it, but Adam stood his ground, knowing he had more power over Blake, he held her by the neck.
As soon as they were in eyes-view, Yang swooped in and punched Adam. They fought, and their last resort led to killing Adam.
This caused an uproar in the faunus kingdom.
A war was started between faunus and humans blah blah blah. Weiss struck down her father and a whole new alliance began btwn faunus n humans the end.
And the Bees got married too! 💕

Sandy
I just don't have time to do anything else for Bumbleby Week but when I saw the first prompt I had to write a quick ficlet about the future leader of SREN.
“She’s so beautiful, Yang. Just like her Ma.” Blake said as she cooed down at our newest child. I was exhausted from labor but there is no way I could sleep, not with this little miracle sleeping in my arms.
She really was beautiful. Just as beautiful as her older sister, Rose but special in her own way. Her tiny cat ears covered in blonde fur, a darker shade than mine twitched a little at the sound of our voices.
“So, I guess we need to give her a name, huh?” I said softly. “I have a thought but it’s kind of dumb.”
Blake took my hand. “I really doubt that. What’s your idea, love?”
I gently stroked my daughter’s tiny head. “Sandy.”
Blake smiled in amusement. “It’s cute, but why Sandy?”
I shrugged. “It just seems to suit her, especially with that hair of hers. It really doesn’t have any kind of deep meaning, unlike Rose.”
“Not everyone has to carry the burdens and expectations of family.” she said as she kissed our daughter’s head. “Not that we’ll do that to little Rose.”
“So, you like it?” I said, almost surprised at her agreement.
“I love it and look, she’s smiling. I think she loves it too!”
I felt a tear trickle down my cheek which Blake wiped away, just like always. “Sandy Xiao Long.” I said with pride. “You’re going to have the best life. I promise.”

New year, new Bumbleby Week!
Usually we host a pool to decide in which week we should host the event, but from now on that won't be necessary because what better week than the one of theis kiss' anniversary?
So let's pin down the date, because we're telling you already that this year the week will be from 25th of March to 1st of April!
About the prompts, you'll have a week from next monday (12th of February) to send your prompts, then the next one (from 19th of February) to vote your favorites! You can send your proposals with an ask or a direct message, whatever you prefer. Don't be afraid to send us whatever prompt you like!
We're not giving you too much time to send prompts because we like to include past ones in the pool, so we actually have lots of them already. You know, we like the variety!
Like past years, we'll be keeping the classic "AU Day" and "Bonus/VA Apreciation Day", and the two of us will personally pick out a prompt each of our liking. So, when the time will come for you to vote you'll have to pick up to four prompts.
Rules too are the same as past years, but we will be reblogging and sharing them again soon for new fans, or as a general reminder, so don't worry about it
That would be all, if there are any news or changes we'll post it here! And, as usual, our ask box is open if you have any question!
Talk soon, bye!
-Mods Wings and Foxa
