Rayaari headcanon - let's have celebrations for their Wedding

(Inspired by these lovely anons)

Raya spends weeks having a beautiful golden armband made by Fang metalsmiths, which she then brings to Heart artists for the engraving process - wanting her proposal offering to have aspects of both cultures displayed prominently.

But while the armband is still with the engravers, she ends up being beaten to the proposal accidentally by Namaari. They've gone for an evening walk, taking the opportunity to spend time together in private, and enjoy the night sky. Raya is gazing at the stars and pointing out different constellation shapes, when she realizes Namaari is watching her instead of where she is pointing.

'I was going to have a whole...thing planned,' Namaari tries to explain, and Raya just smiles at her, confused at what she's referencing. Namaari grasps her hand tightly, and rests their foreheads together. 'Dep la, I don't want to wait. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. Would...would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?'

Raya kisses her deeply, tasting a slightly hint of salt, although she isn't sure which of them is crying - or if they both are. She almost forgets to say yes afterwards, too busy covering Namaari's cheeks with kisses.

They tell Benja first, if only because they are currently staying at the palace in Heart. He swings Raya round in a hug, and she can't help but laugh at his joy. Namaari approaches and tries to bow formally to him, about to apologize for the lack of ceremony she's displayed with her proposal, but he merely steps forward and sweeps her into an embrace also.

Raya accompanies Namaari to Fang two days later, wanting to tell Chief Virana as soon as possible. Virana isn't surprised by the news, but alternates between welcoming Raya to the family in a warm voice, and scolding Namaari for being unable to wait a few more days until the ceremonial daggers were ready for a proposal.

Namaari finally presents Raya with the daggers the following night, when they are sat side-by-side on the large windowsill of her bedroom, looking out at Fang's kingdom. 'These represent the balance between you and me,' Namaari explains, presenting both knives with slightly unsteady hands. 'The symbols are for protection, so you will never fall in battle.'

Raya laughs slightly when she takes them - they feel solid yet lightweight in her hands, perfect for close-quarter fighting. Truly a wonderful gift for her.

Raya uses the moment to thrust her own offering towards Namaari, having collected it in Heart before they left. The armband also has protective symbols engraved along the side, as well as important moments of mythology from Heart and Fang alike - combining the history of the two lands into one.

They agree on two ceremonies; firstly because they would never risk telling one of their parents that a wedding won't happen in their land, and secondly because it is important to introduce the other in an official sense to the citizens.

Namaari suggests that the first ceremony is held in Heart, well aware of the message it sends to the rest of the lands: Heart and Fang are uniting, and there are no longer grudges held between their families. Raya agrees, especially since she wants everyone to accept her new wife as easily as possible, considering their history.

That being said, Raya is somewhat disgruntled that the largest crowd of guests will be coming to this first ceremony, especially as it seems like every dignitary from Talon, Spine and Tail have agreed to attend. But this wedding is bigger than just the two of them - it's a symbol of hope and peace for Kumandra. And at the end of the day, she knows she will be walking away with Namaari as her wife, so it's a small price to pay.

Benja goes wild with the catering for the ceremony. He wants everything to be absolutely perfect for his Dew Drop, although Raya gets an incredibly embarrassed look on her face whenever he says as much. Namaari just nods along wisely at everything he says, and says 'You can't blame him for wanting everything to be perfect for his favourite daughter.' Raya dislikes this new vibe of her father and 'Maari bonding together against her, but merely grumbles 'I'm his only daughter.'

Soon, of course, he will also have a daughter-in-law.

On the day of the ceremony, Raya almost wants to flee, just from the fear of the crowds and expectations surrounding her. But Namaari holds onto her hand tightly, and whispers how she can't wait to begin the rest of their lives together, and it is this image Raya clings onto whenever she begins to feel overwhelmed.

As part of her wedding ensemble, she insists on wearing the two daggers from Namaari, strapped to her waist, as well as a necklace that belonged to her mother.

Namaari wears Raya's armband meanwhile, as well as a well-worn necklace in the shape of Sisu - a private connection to their history, that no-one else knows. There is a large sword hanging at her own waist. It had belonged to her father, and although it is too great in size to be a good weapon for Namaari to comfortably wield, just having it with her brings a feeling of strength.

Tuk Tuk is not allowed to the official ceremony, but as soon as the evening party begins, Namaari sneaks him (as much as she can sneak, with his size) into the palace just to see Raya smile in surprise.

The ceremony in Fang is held a week later, and is a much more subdued affair, at least in terms of the number of guests invited - focusing not on world-saving symbols, but on introducing Raya to the Fang citizens.

Unlike Benja, Virana seems to be quite content at allowing Namaari to deal with all the preparations (but in reality, neither of the girls realize how much micromanaging she is carrying out behind the scenes - she is adamant that her Morning Mist will have the perfect wedding, even if it's a second one).

In tone however, there is nothing subdued about how Fang celebrates weddings. They are a warrior culture, and with that comes, to Raya's amusement, sparring and fighting as entertainment. General Atitaya wins the competition, bowing low to her two Princesses.

'It could have been romantic for me to fight for your hand,' Raya teases in a whisper to Namaari, whose cheeks blush pink in response. 'You had my hand long ago,' she whispers back, and follows that up with a subtle squeeze of her fingers on Raya's knee.

Namaari's serlot is curled up at their feet throughout the entirety of the evening's feast, and if anyone asks, Namaari merely smiles serenely and says it is for security purposes.

Sisu and her siblings of course attend both ceremonies, and Raya is amused to see that Namaari is still as star-struck all these years later as she was when she first met Sisu.

When the wedding finally ends, they take a week to enjoy travelling, not as Princesses of Heart and of Fang, but as Raya and Namaari, two newly-weds who want to have personal adventures and time to themselves.

They take Tuk Tuk and Namaari's serlot, spending their week exploring forests, deserts, market places and more through all the lands. They camp under the stars as much as possible, and remain incognito whenever they enter towns.

They finish their time away by arriving back in Heart. That evening, Namaari takes Raya's hand and leads her on a walk, and they stroll along the pathway while enjoying the growing darkness.

Raya realizes she's taken them to the exact place where she proposed, and they kiss under the stars.

Heaven is a place on Earth || Benja ||

A/n: I’m doing it...also shout out to anyone that noticed the Princess Mononoke reference.

Also I shall write more of these two.

Flashbacks italicized.

Pairings: Raya x Mother!Reader. Raya x Namaari. || Implied Benja x Reader.

“Má?”

Hand resting on your growing stomach you turned let the soft breeze tossle your hair. You didn’t have to hear your daughter call out to you, not when you knew her foot steps so well.

“Yes Raya..”

Giving her a smile you watched as she sat down next to you, her dark hair framing her face. You couldn’t believe how much she has grown, how much of her life you’ve missed.

‘How did you know that you fell in love with Bo?...when did you realize that he was...the one.?”

Blinking a few times, you let out a soft laugh reaching out to grasp her hand gently. “Is this about Namaari?”

Head shooting up Raya could feel the warmth burn on her cheeks as she quickly looked down. “Maybe.”

Smiling you drew her closer to your chest as if she was a child, fingers running through her hair you sighed softly as she relaxed against you. Her head resting in your shoulder as she let her arms wrap around you, hugging you.

“Are you sure you want to know.” You teased.

“I do!!”

Closing your eyes you rubbed your stomach again getting lost in the memories of when you first met the man that would soon be your husband and protector, the man that you would love.

“It all started with your grandfather wanting to meet with a young prince.

“But Papa! I do not want to marry either of them!”

“You need to stop this Y/n...we will not have his discussion again.” Biting your lip you sunk your fingers into the fur of your Moro. The white dire wolf let out a small whine as her large paw slowly walked towards a group of people though at the center stood a tall young man. From what you could see he looked nervous, while he was standing tall and his arms were clasped behind his back you can tell in his eyes that he was nervous.

“Wait! Ba was nervous!.”

Laughing you glanced down at Raya, for a moment she looked like that small little girl. Her eyes wide, a smile on her lips as she adjusted her posture.

“Of course I was.”

Turning to the voice, you smiled as Benja walked towards you both. Your husband placing his hands on your shoulder as he placed a small kiss to your temple.

“Here I was, waiting to meet the woman I am going to marry. I just never expected her to be so beautiful.”

Flushing you shook your head as Benja sat himself next to you, his hand taking yours. “Though you can continue your story.” He teased.

Shaking your head you glanced down at Raya, she was giving you a smile, the same smile as her father. “I want to hear more!.’

Closing your eyes you smiled nodding your head giving your stomach a small rub. “Right....where was I?”

Biting your lip you watched your father happily greet the man whom you assumed was the young prince’s own father. Adverting your eyes you took your eyes off the two as they talked, you were so absorbed in your own thoughts that you were startled hearing a throat clearing out.

“Princess? May I help you down.”

Gripping San’s fur you slowly nodded your head as your eyes locked his. They looked so kind and his smile so warm, it made your heart race a little faster. “I....suppose that will not be a problem.” Giving him a small smile of your own your hand slipped into his as he helped you off the large wolf.

‘I...will be happy to give you a tour of our home...my home.” He corrected himself quickly. “If you do not mind.”

“I would like that.” Giving his hand a squeeze, you did your best to give him an easy smile hoping it would make him relax.

“And....that was that...a few more day’s your father and I got married....brought our villages together then had you.” You teased pinching your daughters cheek.

“Ma!...that can’t be it....I want to hear more stories of you too.” Raya let out a small whine, she wanted to know more about her parents.

Giving her a wink you let out a small sigh standing up placing your hand on your stomach, Benja quickly wrapping his arms around your waist.

“Hope about this, you go and confess your feelings to a certain young princess then I’ll tell you more about your father and I.”

“I think that’s a fair trade!.”

“Bo!...I...f-fine.” Standing up Raya gave a determined nod to you both as she rushed off.

“I can’t wait for the wedding.”
