Fluffy Feburary [2024], Day 2 Prompt- Eavesdrop @fluffyfebruary

It had all started very simply, or well... Ronodin thought it had started very simply, he still wasn't quite sure how it had gotten to this point. With him sat in the Sorenson's living room, a Christmas tree up in the corner with several people glancing cautiously at him- as they should.

He had simply been listening in on Kendra and his cousin, and really, the should know better then to talk where someone could easily eavesdrop. And yet somehow, he was caught! Him! Master of hiding and deception and a million other things. (No, he was not going to give that dragon credit for finding him.)

And so. Here he sat in the Sorenson's living room. Ruth(?) staring at him, no amusement on her face as she held a crossbow- a loaded crossbow!- at his face. A few feet to her left was a rather boring looking man that he couldn't recall that name of (David? Daniel? Whatever.). And a satyr! Now, he didn't really have anything truly against them but... really? A satyr in their house? Did they not care about the furniture?

Nearest to him was his beloved cousin, son of the Fairy Queen, Bracken. And opposite his (annoying) cousin was the Fairy Queen's handmaiden, Kendra. Really, if anything it was their whole fault he was here!

Once he'd been found someone had ushered Seth away, which Ronodin found quite rude. Sure, he might've emotionally manipulated him- but everyone emotionally manipulated someone at one point or another!

...

...three hours had passed. Somewhere after the half hour mark the satyr had left the house, but promising that he'd be back later with another satyr (Nick? Newel?).

Then after the hour the plain man (Dale!) had stood up and said that he needed to get back to his chores, not before leveling a glare at him though. Really! The nerve of these people. Did they not understand how rude they were being to him?

Around two hours later, when the sun was making its descent Ruth had reluctantly stood up and made Kendra and his cousin promise to keep an eye on him before she disappeared.

And so, after the three hour mark Kendra had inquired if he would like something to eat. Now, you must understand- he was not a picky person when it came to food. But he had very much laughed in her face, which quickly made her retract the offer of food.

At the realization that she seriously wasn't going to get him food unless he apologized he pouted. Wasn't she supposed to be a 'good guy'? What kind of good guy didn't feed their guests?

Another half an hour later he finally caved and (politely) asked her to get him something to eat. Since really, he did need to eat something. Before she'd left she had made eye contact with his cousin that seemed to make him promise to keep an eye on Ronodin.

...

...an unknown amount of time later he'd been released from him bondage.

And somehow he was... enjoying spending time with his (moronic) cousin and Kendra. Perhaps it was because he felt some... peace, from being around just the two of them. The light magic that emanated from them felt like a cool balm against his skin. Like a memory of something that had once been familiar to him.

He found himself lowering his guard around the two. The barbs coming from him not feeling as venomous as they should, and the ones coming from his friends enemies didn't feel as venomous as they should either. They felt... like the snark one would expect from people who had known each other their entire lives and were friends. Not two unicorns and a mortal(?) handmaiden to the Fairy Queen who were enemies.

At some point, Ronodin realized that there was a blanket wrapped around the three of them, with another spread across their laps. He was stuck in between them but it didn't feel bad... it felt safe. Even as he felt Kendra's head on his shoulder, soft breathing coming from her as her eyelids fluttered. Or his cousin's soft voice that made him feel like he was a young unicorn again and his older cousin was telling him stories.

It felt like home. That was his only thought as he felt himself rest his head on Kendra's and slowly drift off to sleep.

I was inspired to write this Newel/Doren fic about their long life together.

Since this fic is not very long, I'm posting all of it here under the cut.

However, if you enjoy, please consider clicking this link to go to Ao3 and leaving kudos or a comment! <3333

Doren had lived a long life. He had seen empires rise, social structures fall, the wheel reinvented again and again, demons tear friends apart, dragons breathe fire over his dodgy hide-outs, Hannah Montana whip off her wig, naiads pull unsuspecting humans under, boxes of energy power moving images, treaties fall, preserves form, Wendy’s drive-thrus operate, and the first British colonist plant their flag in Connecticut. 

These visions crowded his head and after a non-stop existence for as long as anyone could remember, memories stopped being solid instances he could carbon-date with relative accuracy.

They never really were videos like the medium that captured Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, and they certainly hadn’t been crystal-clear pictures that froze colors and details like the ones the Sorensons were fond of framing. But, whatever they had been, they were less now.

Now, memories were snatches of laughter he could recognize anywhere, glimpses of forlorn smiles, earthy smells that yanked him back to a time before cities or cars or television. Memories were discombobulated ideas and once-upon-a-times that floated and bounced around his skull like little acrobats.

But, most of all, memories were dreams. 

Each night was a slide into the past and the repurposing of faces, personalities, and figures that used to have a remembered name long ago. With such a large array of material to work with, no dream ever quite mirrored another. 

Except for one aspect. 

Each night—every night—Newel was there. 

Newel was there insulting his find in Kurisock’s lake or laughing at some pitiable act on America’s Got Talent. He was there, stealing grapes from Marshall Burgess or picking fights with centaurs. He was there, lounging on the rocks of a long-forgotten mountain that they had used to roam before borders had been set on their home.  

Sometimes, Newel performed a simple, constant, and repetitive action that endured as the background flickered and clothes melted and figures transformed. A forehead kiss as togas blew in the wind or as Blackbeard’s grappling hooks caught onto starboard or as the sun set over the Fairy Shrine.

Don’t get him wrong—it wasn’t all sweet memories and dreams. Sometimes they were terrifying nightmares, his toes curled, his breath slipped out of his hold, and he woke up drenched in sweat. 

But, in every imagining, every dream, every trip down memory lane—Newel had never been the villain. It had always been the Newel that Doren knew and loved. The same mischievous eyes, furry torso, and rare, soft smile.

Not as of late. 

Gnashing teeth and twisted horns and beady red eyes and long, sharp talons and a snout and dark fur adorned the Newel that rushed at Doren in the dark, in his dreams, in his mind. That sliced his chest or pulled his feet under a wave of darkness or bit through his skin, muscles and tendons snapping and falling limp.

The new Newel was horrible and toe-curling and disastrous. 

The only respite was waking up to safety. Newel’s arm holding him, Newel’s head tucked into the crook of his neck, the soft, rhythmic sound of his beloved’s breathing fanning his back. 

Tonight, that safety melted the tension in Doren’s body and he turned over to face Newel. 

He snuggled closer and wrapped one arm around Newel’s torso, pulling him close. 

Newel blinked slowly like a kitten opening his eyes for the first time and a smile spread across his face. Leaning forward, he pressed a kiss to Doren’s forehead. “Good night.”

“The sun is already up,” Doren whispered. Indeed, the rays had begun to creep into the cave’s opening. Shadowy trees trembled in the wind on the cave side. 

The satyrs didn’t like the shadows anymore. 

“Too early,” Newel yawned and stretched his arms high above his head before bringing them back down to encircle Doren. His eyes closed again. “Good night.”

Doren didn’t want to close his eyes, dreading the terrifying beast that threatened to grace his vision again. He much preferred the version of Newel in front of him than the one his mind liked to conjure up. Sunlight highlighted the slumbering satyr’s orange curls. 

“Good night.” 

Doren matched Newel’s breathing and then nuzzled his head against his chest. The rhythm of Newel’s heartbeat became a constant he could hold on to as he slipped back into sleep.

There were no memories Doren could recall that had no whisper of Newel. Every single memory—Newel was there holding him, dragging him along a trail, tricking a troll, in the periphery as he dozed off on a sun-warm rock, or there, in the back of Doren’s mind, as a constant. 

Doren was Newel’s, and Newel was Doren’s. Forevermore.
