Amidst the bustling marketplace, the pair strolled hand in hand, their shoulders bumping together, letting nothing come between them. Whispers of shared jokes and a symphony of laughter passed between them. Their eyes met, brimming with stories and thoughts only they understood, despite their partners' best attempts to translate their secret language.
Maiele shot Tyril a playful wink, his eyes tracing the lips of his beloved, while, Daenarya pulled Mal in for a fleeting kiss before pushing him back away. Maiele guided Daenarya closer to his side as their giggles and secrets resumed—the two completely inseparable.
"Why should they have all the fun?" Mal grumbled, reaching for Tyril's hand, hoping to make his own memories.
"What do you think you're doing?" The elf pulled back, slapping the rogue's hand away.
"If they can hold hands and whisper secretly together, so can we." Mal's hand sought Tyril's, but he found his advances once more denied.
Tyril's gaze shifted to the rogue's hands, still stained purple from the delicacies they had enjoyed earlier. "I think I'll pass. You're worse than the children."
"You love me anyway." A devilish smirk pulled on his lips as he held up his dirtied hands.
Tyril pinched the bridge of his nose, rubbing the space between his brows. "Your definition of the term love must hold a different meaning than mine."
Mal's arm snaked around Tyril's waist, holding him close. "We both know that isn't true."
Despite the purple hue flushed across the elf's cheeks, his body relaxed beneath Mal's touch.
"Told you," Mal gloated, rocking up on his tiptoes to place a kiss on Tyril's violet cheek. "I love you, too."
Okay okay I’m gonna finally share this gem!! I’ve kept it to myself for too long but I cannot tell you what this little drabble meant and means to me.
You sent this the day after a particularly trying day. Big decisions had to be made and big feelings were discussed and it was hella stressful. I cried myself to sleep that night and then I woke up to this. And it reminded me that everything would be okay.
I know that may be silly but it’s what happened. I was so crazy overwhelmed and my emotions were so overtaxed that I desperately needed something fluffy and lighthearted and beautiful. I almost didn’t log in that day.
But I did and I read this line and it made me smile.
“Your definition of the term love must hold a different meaning than mine.”
I don’t know if I ever told ya but my partner has this habit of making up definitions for well defined and established words (like love lol) and I not infrequently will tell him that we must define our terms before continuing the silly conversation because his definition is not mine lol
I adore this drabble so so so much! More than I can truly put into words! Thank you for gifting me this and your friendship 😘
How precious are these chibi minis by the lovely @artoile ! I've been holding on to these precious gems for a while and thought today was a good time to share them! I can't resist smiling at them every time I see them! I hope they make you smile too!

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!
