An Unlikely Engagement

A little fic I wrote for Shepherds of Haven based on this Tumblr post.

Someone is surprised to find out the kind and friendly Hero of Haven is engaged to the cold and distant Commander Bronwyn. (There is a very, very light spoiler for Chapter 8. So I'm putting the preview and the Ao3 link under the cut.) Edit: I'm sorry I forgot to thank @emeraldgreaves for posting a meme in the discord server that inspired a small part of this! Thanks for the extra inspiration, Em!

“What can I do for you, Finn?” Commander Kyrahlise Niriviel watched the recruit who sat on the other side of her desk shift in their chair. She could almost taste the nervous energy rolling off of the young Mage who’d requested a meeting. About what she wasn’t sure. Apparently Finn hadn’t been forthcoming with Shery when the meeting was set up.

They shifted again before taking a deep breath. “So I’ve been having a problem – maybe it’s more of a situation – with my…” An unmistakable sharp knock on the office door interrupted them.

“Do you mind if I take this?” Finn shook their head, though they seemed confused. A lot of recruits were surprised by her personable demeanor. She flashed a smile in thanks then projected her voice towards the door. “Yes?”

Blade opened the door before he silently strode into the room, face cool and impassive. His glance quickly moved past the person seated across from her. When his eyes found hers, warmth seeped into his gaze. His voice was tinted with gentleness when he spoke. “Kyrahlise.” The way he said her name was a hidden message of affection for her alone. It never failed to make her feel comfortable, loved, and safe. “There is a matter I need your assistance with. It’s not urgent, but it’s best if we handle it today. Are you free for lunch? My afternoon is spoken for.”

You can find the rest here on Ao3!

#I saw a post here and thought “Blade and MC after they get engaged” then had to write this #vague spoilers for Chapter 8 #did I tweak things to get it exactly 700 words? yes #gods I'm so glad this is finally out of “just needs a little more editing” hell lol #I have so many things in the works for everyone else Kyrah is romancing in different timelines!#shout out to my husband for being the best beta reader and editor ever! I've grown so much because of his help!#shepherds of haven #shoh #blade bronwyn #oc: kyrahlise niriviel #fanfic #ao3 #excerpt from my writing

In the Season

I bloom at midnight

Singing sweet symphonies

Like the Jasmine in my garden

That I’ve been neglecting as of late

But sometimes I hear her cry

And catch a glimpse of her basking in the moonlight

meeting you (but not long enough)

Can't seem to express how grateful I am to have him by my side The constant reassurance that he's giving me, about myself, my study, our relationship and everything in between How easy he makes it seems, to always be there for me, emotionally and physically, whenever I need him And how sure he is, of me, of every little flaw that I like to nitpick The constant mental battle that I like to have when I'm being particularly insecure or needy or exhausted, it all went away as easy as it came A constant tide, ebbing gently Rewiring the mess that's my head, flowing neatly Oh how I wish being with you is not an occasion, where planning is involved, and promises, and tickets I wish it's as easy as opening a door and saying "I'm home"

In which Calypso is so troublesome, even her help causes harm

Transcript:

“I could keep them away,” she says, words spilling off her tongue, quick to satisfy a need, unconsulted by the rest of her. Instinctive to something Calypso didn’t know was in her. “If you wanted,” she amends, lighter, slower. “I could keep them from you, for a while.”

She hadn’t realized they were still being so persistent, even with her rising every now and then, frequent and common. She consults the water with a stiff hand. Was it not known that Scylla skulked around a terrifying face?

It was, her ocean presses back. But it had only made them more persistent, on the raring occasion that they came across her. They were speaking now, which they hardly dared to do before.

Calypso’s breath stills. “I’m making it worse?” she murmurs, more movement than sound.

“You do that enough. It’s alright.”

Her ocean rolls over her fingers, silent.

She draws her hand back to Scylla’s neck, curling over the base, spine bumping across her palm.

“It wouldn’t be any trouble,” she says, feeling numb down her throat and to her tongue and even nipping at the words she puts to the air. It would be trouble but she was always trouble.

Even when she didn’t mean to be.

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

The Secret of the Greenhouse

A little non canon compliant Tabitha fic for Scarlet Hollow.

Tabitha loathes taking care of the…thing in the greenhouse. But with Pearlanne gone she's the only one left to do it.

(Please note: I wrote this before Episode 4 came out and based it on my thoughts on the Goop Teddy fan theory at the time. Now we know what's actually in the greenhouse, so this very much doesn't follow canon. But after @georgiedoesntfloat asked me about my SH fic ideas I couldn't get this one out of my head because I liked the vibes. So here it is, and it's all thanks to Georgie!)

Tabitha wasn’t one to believe something unless she saw it herself. She lived in a world of what was concrete and right in front of her. Yet what was in front of her tested her mightily. It shouldn’t exist, but somehow it did. Now that Pearlanne was gone, it was up to her to deal with this…thing.

Pearlanne told Tabitha about it less than a year ago. Apparently it used to be Teddy Scarlet, who was said to have died in the mine collapse in 1918. For all she knew that was a lie. But she learned long ago to keep such thoughts to herself. Pearlanne had been insistent that she learn how to ‘care’ for it. As if it were some kind of horrible pet.

Ever the dutiful daughter, she listened to what her mother had to say. Though Tabitha was sure Pearlanne left out quite a bit. There were too many missing pieces to the story she was given. Now she would never know the rest. Her mother was dead, and she knew not to trust what it had to say.

You can find the rest here on Ao3!

#poor Tabitha and her Eldest Daughter Syndrome despite being an only child #not canon compliant #Goop Teddy fan theory #angst #but like is it possible to write anything Tabitha-centric and it not be angsty?#omg I noticed just as I added the link that both this and “Fog” are 411 words! what are the chances of that?!#editing this today showed me I'm a better writer and editor than I was in November when I first wrote it #shocking that I posted two fics in less than a month!#scarlet hollow #tabitha scarlet #fanfic #excerpt from my writing #ao3 #of course my brain decided that I hated a tiny part of this hours after I posting so I came back to edit it so my brain will stfu about it #literally taking out three words and adding in three different words was all it took - brains are fucking weird man

Coming of Age

I’m a girl in a woman’s body

Desperate for the hope and knowledge

That someday those I love will come back for me

They’ll change for me

I haven’t been left behind

But now I can see beyond the false security of my front lawn

Pigs dressed up as men

Little boys running with knives in their hands

Reenacting scenes from broken marriages

The sick distorted desperation that fills in their eyes

That I’ve mistaken for love more times than I’d care to admit

I bang my head on the walls

Praying someone will listen

And peeling back

The layers of skin on my lips

Reminds me of what it is

To feel whole again

- P. V.

a home with you

When the sky starts to darken and the hue turned blue and purple,

So does my heart, brewing a concoction of fear, anxiety and loneliness

The way I can feel it shrinking with every minute pass

I wish the day would go a little bit slower, the earth would spinning just a little bit less

It's scary being alone, and its even scarier when you're used to not being alone

Sometimes I resent the way I feel when I'm with you

Content, happy and utterly blissful

Because when you're back, working, at the end of the world, and I'm back, studying, at the other end of the world

It felt like all of those fuzzy feelings was ripped out and burned to the ground

A cycle that kept repeating everytime you left

Well, not entirely true

I'm being a little bit dramatic to be honest, but my heart still hurt nonetheless

And maybe, today, it hurt a bit more

Cause I caught a glimpse of our future, and I can't help but think, oh how delightful it is when we're finally together at our home

In which Vega acknowledges that this could be the end, for her and Celeste.

Transcript:

Celeste does not respond immediately.

Vega waits, forcing the patience. This could be it. If she’s not believed, then it’s done. One of the best things she’s ever known — gone.

Lost, like some misplaced nostalgic trinket that brings up as many awful memories as it does good ones. Left to gather dust in a corner of the closet, in an unmarked box that’ll never be opened. She’ll remember Celeste fondly, if this is the end of them. But will she do the same? Would she want to? She won’t forget Vega (how could she?) but maybe she’d wish that she could.

She was a villain, after all.

They were practically destined — Romeo and Juliet styled star-crossed — to end up here. Any ruining or ending that’s happening here is her own doing. Unavoidable, even if she’d known who Celeste was at the start. She can’t complain about the inconvenience (hurt) of it, or be surprised because it always going to lead here.

Villains and Heroes just don’t mix.
