Tumblr media
sky ✿
sky spoils you so much, he treats you like a princess, which is ironic considering he’s a prince.
to him, you’re his world, he’d never do anything to hurt you and he loves you so much.
sometimes, when the two of you are relaxing together, he lets you style his slightly long hair.
speaking of relaxing together, that’s one of his favourite dates, when the two of you just spend time at a cafe, getting a break from the chaotic fairy and specialist duties you usually deal with.
brandon ✿
you were one of the few people to first know that sky and brandon switched names. brandon wanted to be completely honest about the switch and you understood due to sky’s feelings about wanting to try a normal lifestyle.
literally the sweetest boyfriend ever, he treats you so good. he’s so gentle and loving with you, your heart melts every time you’re with him.
he doesn’t get jealous that often and neither do you, the two of you trust each other and have a relationship that’s really built on honesty and loyalty.
riven ✿
no one would’ve thought the two of you would get together, as riven has a high temper and you pretty much have no temper, always calm and relaxed. in fact, the only people that suspected something was going on with the two of you were bloom and sky, they always took notice of the flirty comments and subtle touches between the two of you. however, ever since you’ve announced your relationship with the hotheaded specialist, you’ve been extremely happy with him, and your friends started relaxing exactly how much sense the two of you make.
you’re a balanced couple that occasionally has rough patches, as riven can get really jealous and insecure, but you guys always make it out and your love grows even more. riven loves you and never wants to make you feel less than appreciated.
his favourite date with you consists of literally anything that involves you two being near each other, but he especially loves when you and him help your friends defeat the newest villain. he also loves when you cuddle with him, as he’s really just a softie deep down, constantly wanting to be touching you. he’s a huge fan of pda, unless you’re uncomfortable with it.
helia ✿
you and helia go together so well, no one was surprised when the two of you made your relationship official. your both calm and loving people, quickly becoming one of the best couples out of your friend group.
you love his hair so much. he just lets you run your fingers through his hair and style it into stupid little ponytails and buns, the man not even complaining about it, actually secretly enjoying it.
he’s literally the best boyfriend. he is always at your side when you need comfort and he gives you all his love.
timmy ✿
it took a while for timmy to build up the courage to ask you out, but once he did, you happily said yes.
the two of you are the definition of ‘opposites attract.’ you’re outgoing and a social butterfly, compared to timmy, who’s shy and doesn’t talk to many people aside from his friends.
he isn’t a big fan of pda, but behind closed doors, he’s always wanting to be close to you.

༊*·˚ second | riven
★ summary : riven went to your room and found some pretty interesting things about you, oh! also about your little crush on him. 
★ warnings : reader is stella’s sister, angst, slight suicidal thoughts, jealous!reader, slight miscommunication, based on the song heather by conan gray
MAIN MASTERLIST
˚ ༘♡ ⋆。˚
You have been the second choice for as ling as you can remember. Being the little sister of Stella, you couldn't actually get away from that. 
Always being left by friends because the other one got more popular. Always having last to be picked in a group assignment. 
Always. 
Until one day you didn't feel like that anymore. Until one day you met him. 
It's weird honestly, having feelings for your sister's boyfriend's best friend. 
That was confusing. 
With Riven you always felt like the first choice. The top priority, and not the backup plan. 
But all of that went down the drain when he suddenly had this thing with Beatrix. 
At first you thought it was just a fling. Although that still hurt you, you thought it was anything but having emotions. 
But they got closer, and to anyone, in one glance they could probably say that they're a couple. 
You were fiddling with your pen in one hand, the bottom of it hitting softly at your forehead while the other holding your journal, you jotting down your latest feels and adventures. With the soft voice of Conan Gray filled the calm atmosphere. 
Everyone was out partying and you chose to stay in your bedroom. It was totally not because you were avoiding someone. 
Totally. 
Okay fine you were. You didn't want to see the guy you're into sucking faces with another person. 
"I still remember," the first verse of the song already made you let out a grunt, the song literally sounded what you felt currently. 
But as much as you wanted to turn it off, it was such a heartfelt song that you just couldn't. So you joined in singing it. 
"Third of December," you softly sang as you continued to write about what interesting thing has happened in the past week. 
"me in your sweater," the lyric made you think about a memory of you and Riven. You just have gotten into a fight with your mother, all the yelling sent your mind into a spiral, you felt like honestly drowning yourself. 
It was just too much. 
You didn't know why but your legs carried you to Riven and Sky's room. Your nose twitches every so often as the cold air hits you. 
You knocked on the door and Riven woke up from his sleep, opening it. It left him slightly baffled to see you with red puffy eyes with tear stains on your cheeks. 
The door creaked open and your heart skipped a beat looking at his shirtless figure, with bed hair. 
God he looked so good. 
He moved to the side to let you in the room, and as you were in, you immediately tackled the boy into a hug. 
You're on your tippy toes, arms wrapped around his neck, your nose inhaling his scent. 
The scent alone made you calmer but when he securely wrapped his hands around your waist, you felt home. 
"You're okay. You're okay." he soothed out as his fingers gently played with your hair. 
Sky was out so it's only you two in their room. 
Your shaking figure calmed down as he moved you guys to the bed. Softly laying you down. 
He noticed how you ran your hands to your arms, trying to get a sense of heat in the chilly atmosphere. So he went to grab his sweater from the closet and hand it to you. 
You look up at him confused, "What's this for?" you asked. 
"You looked like you were cold." he said, shrugging his shoulders and nudging his sweater closer to you. 
"Thanks." you smiled and didn't take down the offer as you quickly wore it. The familiar scent of him filled your nostrils as you sighed in relief, feeling the warmth enveloping you. 
"You wanna talk about it?" he asked softly, sitting down beside you on his bed — not wanting to break you more in your already fragile state. 
You were too tired to think as you shook your head. "No." 
"Alright, you can stay here tonight if you'd like." he nervously offered. As close as you guys are, you didn't actually go past the 'cuddling' stage. 
You felt your heartbeat picked up, as you said, "Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother-" 
"Yeah I'm sure." he answered quickly, ending your rambling. 
You let out a soft 'okay' as you laid back onto his bed. The softness of the mattress invites your sleepiness. 
Your body curled up in a ball as you rested on your left side. The bed dipped down indicating Riven moved to lay beside you.
It was awkward for a minute, Riven wanting nothing more than to just hold you close to him, but he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable. So he just laid there staring up at the ceiling.
You were already half asleep as you moved to your other side and curled up with him. 
He froze for a second, a lot of thoughts cursing through his head. It was almost like you could feel his stiff figure as you snuggled more into him, arms went to his stomach, your head on his chest.
A loop-sided grin made its way to Riven's face as he relaxed his body, his hand moved to your back drawing circles and having the best sleep in his life.
As the memory faded away, the song already is at it's chorus, "but I watch your eyes as she walks by, what a sight for sore eyes,"
You were so into the song you didn't even realise your bedroom door was open, there stood Riven staring at you in awe.
The boy has never heard you sing before and it blew him away.
"brighter than the blue sky, she's got you mesmerised, while I die," you softly continued as little pricks of tears came on the edge of your eyes.
While you were at your table, Riven moved from his spot and moved to your bed as it creaked, immediately stopping you from singing more.
You jumped up from your spot and was met with Riven staring adoringly at you. 
"Do you not know what knocking is?!" you shrieked at him. Mad that he scared you like that and because he caught you singing a song when you were thinking of him.
Riven ignored your little outburst as he said, "Why didn't you tell me you can sing?" with a small smirk on his face.
You sighed, as you answered his question with a question. "What are you doing here?" the edge to your voice was almost unrecognisable but Riven picked that up first thing.
His smile faltered, but he shrugged his shoulders acting like he didn't care. "The party got boring." in all honesty he just missed you, but he wouldn't tell you that. 
You clenched your jaw, the second result. Again. "Well, where's Beatrix? Thought she was keeping you company." the tone of your voice dipped with such venom. 
From snapping more, you moved around your room picking up clothes that were on the floor to distract yourself.
Riv looked at you, distraught. What did he do? He thought. 
He too moved from his spot and went to the table, noticing the book you once held. 
You were too angry and pissed to notice him flicking some of the pages. 
First it was all about the classes, the colour of the sky, the teacher being annoying. 
But one sentence got his eye, it was his name. 
okay maybe i do have a teeny weensy crush on riven but that's just it. 
it's how it's always been, and nothing is going to change that. 
oh my god why am i writing like i'm a̶c̶u̶a̶t̶l̶y actually talking to you. 
shit i'm late for class, bye love u. 
Riven's eyes widened as his mouth gaped wide open. 
The silence disturbed you as you looked back at him, noticing his shocked face, looking into your journal. 
The clothes you once held all fell to the floor as you rushed to your table snatching the book away. 
"What is wrong with you?!" you finally snapped. The rage and embarrassment bubbling inside you. 
"Is it true?" he softly asked, meeting your eyes. You looked away immediately to be ashamed that he found out this way. 
"It doesn't matter. You should go." you bitterly spat out, shoving your journal into the edge of the table where no one would think to look for it. 
Riven scoffed, "Yeah, it does." he said, moving to stand in front of you. 
You hesitantly met his eyes, "No it doesn't." you said to him firmly, almost threatening him to not talk about it any further. 
But we all know how stubborn Riven is, he's not going to back down for his life. 
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked harshly. 
"And what? For you to just leave me? What would happen? What would happen differently, Riv? Tell me." your voice went louder as the sentence went, your head held highly in front of him. 
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife, you didn't even realise you took a step forward. Your chests are almost touching each other. 
Your breathing was heavy because all the pent up feelings you have for the boy in front of you coming out like a tidal wave. 
The tension was too much for Riven as cupped your face in his hands and connected his lips with yours. 
You sharply took an intake of breath, the kiss sent you speechless. But he pulled away before you could even respond. 
"That would happen." he breathed out, head fuzzy from the kiss. You don't know how much he has dreamt about kissing you. 
"Oh." you stupidly let out, not comprehending the situation at hand. 
Riven chuckled as his hands went down wrapping them around your waist. 
"Wait, wait what about Beatrix?" you asked, not wanting to be solved as the second choice, again. 
"Nothing." he said, staring at you with that look. 
"Nothing?" you questioned, raising your eyebrows. 
He nodded, "Yeah, nothing. You're my first choice, always." a smile made its way to his lips, loving the feeling of you in his hands. 
You grinned and your lips sealed once again. Your hands rest on his chest, him bringing you closer by your waist. 
I wish I were heather.

[riven x reader]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: In a moment that everything should work out, your powers cause interference between Riven and you
warnings: swearing, light smut, kinda Angst
Request
What was supposed to be just a night of watching movies turned out to be something entirely different, your moans echoing through the room as you writhed in pleasure. Ecstasy took over your body, your nails scratching Riven's back making him growl in your ear which made you get more aroused.
As your orgasm approached, after being denied three, you felt like you were losing control. Your vision was blurred and spasms began to appear as if a wave of electricity possessed your body. With your eyes closed, you hear Riven's breathing becoming heavy and you smirk, feeling pleased to make him feel that way.
Riven lets out a loud moan and abruptly stops the movements, falling to your chest and letting out several low moans that make you open your eyes. You raise your body a little and look at him who was panting with a look of pain.
“Riven?” You call him, but you get no answers. Worry and fear were consuming you.
With a long sigh, you run your hand through his hair, watching him move his head as if he's enjoying the caress.
“Riv, please tell me what happened…. You are scaring me." You say feeling your hands shake.
Riven lifts his head and looks at you, his eyes telling you he was embarrassed to say what happened, making your brain work hard with all those thoughts.
"I don't know for sure but I think you gave me a electric shock." He says.
You automatically remember the feeling of electricity running through your body and that in the end it wasn't just a sensation, it was real. You feel shame rushing through you as you watched Riven get off you and sit, naked, in front of you. Your mouth opened and closed several times but the words didn't come out.
"I'm sorry." You say in a whisper.
"It’s fine," Riven says.
“No Riv, it's not okay. I can't believe I hurt you." You say shaking your head and getting up, picking up your clothes that were scattered on the floor.
“Babe, please calm down.” Riven says, also getting up to get dressed.
"Don't ask me to calm down, I've lost control of my powers and this shouldn't happen." You say picking up your bag and heading towards the door.
Riven quickly stopped in front of you blocking your way, you looked at him seriously and he just shook his head making a negative sign.
“I'll talk to you later Riv, please let me go. I need to think." You say with a weak smile.
Despite being annoyed, he obeys your request and lets you pass. As soon as you open the door, you run out and end up bumping into Sky who frowns.
Sky looks at the empty hallway you had passed and then looks at Riven who was looking lost. He decides to enter the room and closes the door in a state of confusion.
"What happened between you two?" Sky asks.
"I told you… their powers were potentially dangerous with strong emotions," Riven says.
Sky raises his eyebrows and makes a face of who can't believe what he was hearing, making Riven roll his eyes.
“That's what you're thinking. We were at the best moment of pleasure and she just gave me a electric shock.” Riven says throwing himself on the bed.
"Are you okay?" Sky says between laughs.
“I am, but she isn't. She just freaked out and I don't know what to do." Riven says running her hands over her face.
“Just give her space, everything will be fine,” Sky says.
“I hope.” Riven whispers, wishing for the moment when everything would be okay to come.

You were a ice fairy last of your kind, and he was a specialist what could happen. That was the only thing running through both of your heads. "Cmon Y/N just one time" he said, his voice spilling out the words naturally. He had been doing this the past 3 weeks, every moment possible he would ask you out, now you were sat just behind the vail smoking cigarettes with eachothers company. "No" your voice said sternly. With that he walked away. "Where are you going Riv" you said confused at this. He just kept walking ignoring you then he was gone out of sight. After a few minutes of wondering where he was you stood up from your place on the rock. "Riv....Riven RIVEN" You shouted no response just pure silence.
After a short while a screech came, I stood up, out of nowhere a burned one appeared. I stood up immediately my hands by my side, within seconds it was on top of me, I screamed as it tore through my shirt. I was frozen. My body wanted to scream, cry anything to get help but I was stuck, after clawing through my skin it went away trudging through the forest. It went black.
Riven pov
All I want to do is tell her I love her, but it's always the same answer No   No   No. I was walking towards Sky on the platform when I heard a blood-curdling screams come from the forest almost on instinct everyone's head snapped. Y/N, was the only thing that came to mind, I ran back in the specialists following behind. I looked around then I saw it. He foot I spinted towards it to see her chest clawed drenched in blood her hands cover in ice as if she was preparing to fight back. A quiet gasp came from beside me. She was awake. "Hey hey its OK just breath" I said trying to calm her. Where was everyone else? "Riven...... I......want......you.....to......know I......love....you" she said her voice gasping after each word. As she said her final word the life slowly drained from her, her skin was colder then ever.
No ones pov
He closed her eyes a tear dripping onto her black hair matted with red stains. She was dead. After a few minutes Sky and the specialists arrived looking at her fragile frame in his arms. As they stared at her ice frosted over her. "Nnnno no" Riven shouted as her skin froze he couldn't see her. He wouldn't ever be able to laugh at her, call her, smoke with her do anything with her she was dead.

Begin Again (Part 9)
"Talk about the devil," her brother remarked, nodding towards the figure at the entrance. "That's definitely my cue to leave!"
And he hurried off in quick footsteps.
She approached him, smiling but a bit puzzled.
"I thought I'd check on you after today's events," he began.
"That's very considerate of you, Riven. You didn't have to," she said appreciatively.
"As crazy as this is going to sound, I care. I can only imagine what happened this evening, so I had to make sure to check on you," he replied sincerely.
"That's very sweet. I am fine. Thank you for taking the time to do that, especially after the hectic day you must have had yourself. You're a good friend," she replied warmly.
He chuckled nervously. "Friend... yeah. Well, this friend saw some pretty ugly shits this evening, and thought he might just take a another big risk before the next attack. We never know, I could run out of luck."
She frowned, puzzled. "I needed to make sure you know that I will fix whatever is going on. I guess it's a fucked-up way to teach me a lesson, but I am going to fight for you. Even if all our memories together are gone from your memory, even if I get erased, I will find a way to get back to normal. Our normal... now that sounded completely insane," he laughed, and she joined in.
"It absolutely did! And to be honest, I am not sure I understand" she admitted.
"Just try to remember that I love you, (Y/N)" he blurted out.
The silence hung heavily. "Your timing is very bad" she said with a low voice.
"And technically, you love me." He added
"You don't say..." she quickly responded, she wanted out of the awkward situation, and passing him, but she stopped abruptly upon hearing his next words.
"And, icing on the cake: You and I, we are dating! Or at least, we were... it's complicated."
"I can see that." She turned to face him
"I broke up with you."
"May I ask why?" she said in a harsh tone, feeling strangely hurt by the revelation
"Honestly, I'm not even sure anymore..."
"Are you doing this because you want closure?" She questioned her heart tightening, and accelerating. But she could not understand why. Could he be telling the truth? Why couldn’t she remember?
"No! I mean, honestly, this situation is fucking confusing..."
"You're a nice guy, Riven. But communication doesn't seem to be your forte. I'm going to assume this was a drunk conversation," she concluded, then turned and left for good.
As she approached her suite, she noticed a shadow at the door.
"This might be creepy, but I was hoping to see you before turning in," Zane greeted her.
"Zane, hey. You didn't have to. Funny, someone had the same idea."
"Oh. Someone I know?"
"Let's not go down that road... it's too late for heavy conversations."
"Well, let's not talk then," he smiled, opening his arms. "Sometimes all you need is a hug. And you look like you could use one right now."
She contemplated it for a moment before accepting. It felt nice—his strong yet gentle arms, his calm and soothing heartbeat, his regular warm breath on her head. It was pleasant yet oddly unsettling. As if this comforting moment was somehow wrong. For now, she decided to push those feelings aside. She was tired, emotionally stirred by her earlier conversations: her brother's warning and Riven's strange revelations had left her feeling on edge. So, she welcomed this support.
Zane started to rub her back and then her arms slowly and tenderly. She relaxed, wrapping her arms around his waist, savoring the moment. How could this be wrong? His lips brushed against her forehead, and he gave her a gentle kiss. She shifted her body slightly, just enough to look up. Only a few inches separated their faces, their noses almost touching. His eyes admired her features, eventually moving to her lips. With no opposition from her, he leaned in.
Her mind got hazy for a moment, enjoying the softness of his lips on hers, warm and gentle. She opened her eyes and gently pushed on his torso, creating some space between them. They gazed at each other, both smiling.
She broke the silence first. "I'm sorry. We have a rule about boys staying over that prevents me from asking you to stay the night..."
"Well, we could go to my dorm? Nothing frisky, I swear. It's just that... it would be such a shame to walk away right now," he suggested.
She laughed before agreeing. Before leaving together, she slipped into her room to grab some essentials for the next day.
Note: feel free to share your thoughts!

Fairy Prince - Hearts of Leviathans - Ch.3
Characters: Sky x male reader, Brandon x male reader, Riven x male reader
Universe: Winx Club/Wix Saga
Warnings: None
My head is racing as I silently follow the Herald to my grandfather's office. I could not wrap my head around things. They didn't even call me home for my sixteenth birthday a month ago. But now? Now they suddenly want me back in the palace? Something felt strange, but not being able to pinpoint it is driving me insane.
The guards around me gave me strange looks as I nervously fidgeted with my fingers and my head slightly tilted down. Quickly I realized that my reputation was not following but running ahead of me. They must have been shocked at my anxious state. To be honest with myself, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Luckily, I don't care what anyone thinks of me. I didn't even look at them.
Soon we were standing before my grandfather's closed dark stone office doors. Two Geodocers - elite guardians with an affinity for stone magic - exclusively protect the king and stand on the sides of this door. "Explain why you are coming before His Majesty King Rodwick III's private office!" both guards commanded simultaneously in deep, stony voices.
Already aware of their deal, I finally straightened my back and looked directly at the two men, who were not looking back.
"I, (Y/N) Gyonos, Crown Prince of Gyonos, have been officially requested by His Majesty King Rodwick III."
Nothing happened for a while. Slowly, both men turned inward toward the door, pushing against the stone door with one hand while their other gripped their spears tightly. Yellow, brownish magic flowed across the door to the core, which broke open the stone. But only so much that I could step through. Nobody else is allowed to follow.
The second I walked through, the doors closed again, and the stone reconnected. "Oh, your grandfather is already waiting for you!" called a woman's voice which I know all too well.
"So the old man locked you in here?" I asked her jokingly, even relaxing my statue.
"You know how he is, but at least he let me keep plants here!" Her happiness and being able to see the best in everything always made me stare at her in admiration. But at the end of the day, she's still a prisoner.
"Can I open the wooden doors this time without being attacked?" I looked at her suspiciously as she just grinned crookedly at me. "Oh, in the name of Thortaglia, please give me strength," I murmured softly, but as always, she heard me, which I recognized from her ominous chuckle.
Slowly and reluctantly, I walked forward and knocked on the black wooden door made of the ash oak that only grows on the black rocks because of the lava inside the dormant volcano. Highly resistant to fire and anything related to heat.
I had to wait a long moment, or was it short? Honest? I don't know. The only thing I was that I stood there a moment longer than I would have liked. Until finally, the old man permitted me to enter.
With my guard on high alert, I did as I was told, almost casually opening the heavy wooden doors. Even though the door was wide open, nothing happened. Instead, I saw my grandfather with his usual mischievous smile. Across the room, my parents were seated, the same people who never fought for me, only following what my grandfather said.
"What are they doing here?" I asked in a disgusted tone. It made my disappointment in them very clear.
"Everything at the right time, you already know that. Come closer and sit down. It's important.”
"More important than a war I fought almost alone?"
"Yes, indeed, more important than anything else!"
Slightly shocked by my grandfather's determination, I entered the room and closed the door. Still, my senses still heightened; I turned around as soon as the door clicked back into place. Before I could take another step, I felt it. Without looking up, I smashed the rock that was falling on me. Staring at my grandfather the whole time, annoyed to no end.
I wanted to ask him how many traps he'd built, but I knew he'd never tell - like always. So I walked closer to the desk, smashing rocks, dodging arrows, and whatever the old man threw at me. 
Even from a distance, I could see the chair was tampered with. So I just put it away and made my own out of stone. I crossed my left leg over my right and leaned back, my forearms on the sides of the chair, looking at my grandfather smugly. It's a little game we play because I'm the only one in the family like him.
"So, old man, why did you call me here? Wasn't confinement to the battlefield enough?”
My grandfather looked me up and down, amazed that I hadn't lost my attitude and sense of superiority. "Somebody had to fight. I am old and tired-”
"Cut it, grandpa. We both know if you had wanted to, you could have split the world and burrowed these people into the ground.” His sweetly smiling expression fell instantly. Suddenly his seemingly broken exterior increased. He leaned over his desk, hands clasped, anger radiating from him. But I didn't give in. Instead, I followed his example and strengthened my position.
We just stared at each other for a while until the old man decided to lean back slightly again, this time sitting up straight with only his hands clasped on his desk.
"You will marry the third son of King Herald of Melakles," he stated matter-of-factly. It actually took me some time to understand what was being said. But as it slowly dawned on me, I began to laugh with all my heart. I almost fell off my chair laughing. After all, my family always told us that we should only marry for love. They would never force anything on us - except the crown.
I soon realized something. Nobody else laughed. I slowly opened my eyes and looked straight into my stoic grandfather's eyes. "You're joking, aren't you?" In a panic, I jumped onto the edge of the seat and tried to grab his hands. But he immediately withdrew.
"You already know Eric isn't that so? After all, he speaks of you with respect.” My panic turned to confusion. Yes, I know him, but I'd only met him once. "And we need their support after our other allies left us to die." A sly smirk graced my grandfather's lips out of a sudden. And it quickly clicked in my head.
"Are you serious?" I roared loudly, making the windows behind my grandfather and even the heavy stone doors shake with the immense power leaving my body. My anger grew as I felt two horns dig out of my head. "You want me to accept a political marriage? After the three of you talk about love as much as it can make a good marriage and make an empire flourish?”
With a single movement of my hands, his desk flew across the room, but my grandfather didn't flinch away; he just lifted his hands off it. "Yes. Everyone has to make sacrifices!"
"So all my siblings will also get married?" Suddenly it became eerily quiet. On my grandfather's stoic, cold icy facial expression, I thought to see something close to regret. "It's good to know that I'm the only one in this family who has to make sacrifices. Not only did you guys steal my teenage years by throwing me into a war, I have nothing to do with not allowing me to go to school or interact with others. Not even my own siblings. But now you want to control my future too?”
"Young man, you cannot talk to me, your king and grandfather, like that!" 
The love I once felt for this old man, who was always very gentle with me and helped me control the immense powers that lives within me, suddenly began to disappear. "Is that all?" I asked through clenched teeth, just about able to pull the horns back inside me.
"No." The hate that began to harbor inside me grew a little bit more. "You will study at the Alfea Academy of Fairies."
“What?“
“Of course, you are a fairy. You will study there, just like me when I was your age. The new semester starts in two days.”
"Well, on my birthday, you couldn't get me out of the war, but if you want to send me away again. I finally understand where my place is in this family.” I turned after spitting those words in my grandfather's face: as venomously as possible. My eyes fell on my parents for the first time since I entered. "I hope you two are happy. We'll see what your future will bring when this old man withered away, and I take the crown!"
Nothing further was said after this threat. I simply left his office, ignoring his assistant and opening the heavy stone doors myself, shocking the guards in front of them.
I kept wondering how they could do this to me. Am I this unimportant and replaceable to them? Deep in thought, I didn't realize I'd reached my room. At least, I thought so. I almost left it again as I could see someone else standing inside, nervously fidgeting with their fingers.
“Who are you?“
The poor fellow jumped in terror and cowered against the wall as soon as he heard my voice. "Your royal highness, I-I-I-"
"Get down to the point!" I growled at him, annoyed at just his presence and at the thought of what my grandfather could have done.
But my harsh words had the opposite effect. Instead of sharing his affairs with me, he closed his eyes and folded his arms protectively in front of him while at the same time crouching on the floor.
A heavy sigh escaped my lips, and I walked over to him, shaking my head. He must have heard my heavy, angry footsteps because he soon curled up into a ball.
Ignoring his obviously fearful behavior, I grabbed his waist and pulled him off the floor. Oddly enough, he weighs next to nothing. I sat him down on a couch on the left side of my room and put a blanket over him. "Stay here. I'll be right back."
Without waiting for another word of his, I opened the door and left my room. Mentally exhausted, I walked down to the kitchen, through a secret passage and later staff stairs.
"Your Highness, what can we-"
"That's not necessary. I'm just going to make tea and steal some snacks for a young man in my room whom I suspect has just had a nervous breakdown."
I could hear the giggles of many kitchen workers and a lower butler standing to one side. "So I assume you know who this guy is?"
Everyone in the kitchen, about thirty people, made appreciative noises almost simultaneously. To be honest? It didn't surprise me. After all, the employees know everything at all times.
"He's your new personal assistant," the butler told me stoically.
I giggled darkly at his words, "Over my dead body." Suddenly, the happy atmosphere in the room was gone, everyone staring uneasily in my direction as I prepared for my short-term guest.
Feeling questioning looks on my back, I had to explain myself: “I won't take another assistant after what happened to my last one. The boy I've known all my life, I grew up with, who got killed right before my eyes! His blood spilled all over me, and to this day, I can't get the taste of his blood out of my mouth. I held him as he bled to death, unable to do anything for him. I could only pray that he would be in a different, better place and give him a final kiss on his forehead.”
I cried for his loss for so long that, at that point, not a single new tear could be shed. I miss him every day. His death was the reason I killed the only enemy I ever respected. It was his sword that spilled my best friend's blood.
To say they were in shock would be a gross understatement. Neither of them had any idea. They only know that I was on the front lines of this war - which is still going on.
There was complete silence in the room for minutes until I turned around with the tray in my hands, everything neatly arranged. "I didn't want to spoil the mood. Unfortunately, I'm not the lively person I used to be. You have the cruel old man to thank for that.” For the first time since the death of my best friend, I have shown my grief to someone.
Oddly enough, the atmosphere changed, and the intense tension eased as sympathy swept over all those who had always treated me - and the rest of my family well.
Head slightly bowed, I fixed my gaze on the floor as I shuffled out of the kitchen as fast as I could before either of them could see tears that dared to go against my will and break free of my eyes.
I took the same way back I had used to get to the kitchen, getting out of everyone's way.
Without thinking much, I opened my bedroom door with my forearm and closed it with my foot after entering. Soft snoring made its way to me, right into my ears. Shocked, I walked around to the couch. There the poor guy was, sound asleep peacefully. I must have really exhausted him through sheer fear.
Careful not to make too much noise, I set the tray down. I gently pulled the blanket over his shoulders so that only his head was sticking out. I also brushed a few strands of hair out of his face. "He looks even more like… him... from this perspective," I murmured under my breath. I wonder if grandfather is behind this and did it on purpose.
A sudden rush of new anger seared my eyes and turned them into what I tried to hide inside me so hard. It was difficult to push it back, but he somehow managed.
Straightening my back out again, I let out a sigh of relief. I breathed in sharply through my nose and let it out gently through my mouth. Slowly I could feel my senses slowly returning to me.
When I finally found myself still standing in front of the couch with the sleeping guy, I turned to my desk and quietly rummaged through it until I had a piece of paper and a pen in my hands. I wrote a note for the guy, left it on the tray, and finally left the room with one goal: finding a couple of guards willing to train with me to vent some frustration.

You woke to the vibrations of their makeshift bed and the engine of the Solarian guard car in which they slept. You could hear the words of the driver and passenger of the car, a pair of fairies, one a fire fairy and the other an air fairy. The two fairies were ‘friends’ with your best friends, Sky and Riven respectively.
“You stole a car? How do you know how to steal a car?“ You heard Bloom, the fire fairy, ask Beatrix, the air fairy.
“I know how to do a lot of things.” You heard Beatrix retort as they drove off to an unknown destination. Now why you were in a Solarian guard’s car was simple... No, you didn’t sleep with a guard that arrive that morning. You didn’t sleep at all the night before and when one of the guards, an old friend called Cathán, asked you to grab something from the car, you may have fallen asleep. 
The drive went on in silence, you laid stiff with tension. The car twisted and turned, the sound of tires over gravel the only other sound. Soon the car stopped, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Bloom and Beatrix stepped out of the car, causing you to exhale heavily,
“Aster Dell was a town, right? Are you sure this is the right place?” You heard Bloom ask, Beatrix replying.
“I'm positive.” 
“How could a town be marked on a map if it's on the side of a mountain?” Bloom asked as she walked further from the car. Your hand went towards your phone and read the most recent texts from Sky and Riven.
BlueEyes: Where the hell are you?!
Raven: Fuck this! Sky is calling Silva! So get your ass back here!
Soon enough, Bloom and Beatrix got back into the car, Bloom’s face depressed. You heard them talk about Rosalind and Aster Dell... Two very familiar names.
“Dowling imprisoned her. I'm at Alfea to break her out.” Beatrix explained before exclaiming as something hit the car. “Shit!”
The tires screeched and Beatrix ran out, only to be stopped by Headmistress Dowling and Professor Harvey, who was holding her in place using Earth magic. 
“Take Bloom. We’ll handle this.” Headmistress Dowling stated, your body froze in the back of the SUV. The group began to move away from the SUV when Silva then stated.
“You know... Y/N was missing today. Sky and Riven told me they weren’t on campus. Then one of the queen’s guards, Cathán, said that Y/N was helping him with something in the SUV before he got knocked out.” Silva explained, walking towards the back of the SUV. He opened the door to your sheepish face, staring blankly at you. “Get out, Y/N.“
Meanwhile back on the Alfea campus, Sky and Riven were talking to each other. They stood in the training grounds, wooden sticks in hand as they fought.
“And you’re sure Y/N isn’t here?” Riven asked Sky, his stick spinning as he hit Sky.
“We looked everywhere.” Sky explained, before dodging a swipe and blocking another hit. “I told Silva and...”
Sky was cut off by a loud ping and Riven’s phone went off a second later.
Silva: We’ve got them.
As they read the message, another appeared from their friend.
Y/N ⚔❤: You fuckers snitched! Silva hasn’t stopped yelling at me since he found me!!
Due to your ‘actions’, Silva placed you on house arrest with a curfew. Bloom was spied upon and Beatrix led away by Headmistress Dowling. A few days passed and soon you were called to arms against the Burned Ones.
“Y/N. We need to go!” Riven called out before you grabbed your dual swords with a silver hilt and ran outside the school. Unsheathing your swords, you began cutting down Burned Ones, leaving a trail behind you. In the distance, you could make out a redhead walking towards the Burned Ones and transforming, fire swirling around her. You began walking back to the school, passing out from exhaustion.
The next day, you stood outside with Sky and Silva when Solarian troops exited their vehicles and armed themselves, glancing between the three of you. A car door opened to reveal the figure of Queen Luna of Solaria, who walked up to you and began speaking.
“Saul Silva. It's with a heavy heart I must place you under arrest.” 
“For what?” Silva asked confused, you echoing.
“The attempted murder... of Andreas of Eraklyon.” Queen Luna explained. 
“‘Attempted’?” Sky asked, bemused. Another door opened, causing your heads to spin around, and a man in a specialist uniform stepped out. Closing the door behind him, Andreas walked forwards, glancing at Sky. Silva and Sky’s eyes widened in shock while yours widened in horror, your jaw clenching.
“Hello, Sky.” Andreas smiled at Sky before turning to face you. “Hello, little warrior.“
“...Andreas.” Came your cool reply, your stomach churning as Andreas’ smile widened as he looked at you. Sky’s eyes looked at you, betrayal evident while Silva barely spared a glance at you. “I assume there will be some changes to Alfea now.”

bad boys bring heaven to you
[riven x reader]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
warnings: bad boy and good girl trope, mentions of judgment, swearing
Request
When you first met Riven, you knew you were two completely different halves where you were always a sweet person, while he was always like a rock.
He made the first move and you couldn't resist his charm for long and after one month you were officially together. Your relationship caused a huge buzz throughout the school, no one seemed to believe you were together and more importantly why you were together.
At that moment you were in the garden, you were lying on Riven's lap while he was leaning against a tree, caressing his hair, the people passing by were directing multiple glances at you. You knew you would face some sort of judgment due to Riven's fame, but you weren't fully prepared for them. Somewhat annoyed with the attention you guys were getting, you get up off Riven's lap making him look confused.
“What is it, love?” Riven asks.
“The attention we bring makes me a little uneasy.” You say brushing a strand of hair behind your ear.
“You can always tell people to go fuck themselves, it makes everything better.” Riven says, causing you to let out a light laugh.
"I need to go, see you later." You say.
Riven took your face and deposited a quick kiss on your lips, you gave him a smile whispering a "bye" and got up going to Bloom and Aisha who were already waiting for you on the other side of the garden.
“What did you see in him? I can't believe he won you over." Bloom asks as you approach her.
"I don't know, he's amazing to me and from the start he's been super affectionate." You say shrugging your shoulders.
"Affectionate? Are you sure we're talking about the same Riven?" Aisha asks.
With the sound of your laughter, you both start going to class and you really wish that you had the opportunity to show the world the other side of Riven.

Only us Riven
I was sat alone in my room, smoking a blunt. It was my first year, almost summeryay. My dad ditched me to go and train with Sky again. I thought when I got to Alfea it would be different that they would notice me guess I was wrong. Ooh maybe I'm invisible, well that was until. "Oooh naughty naughty Nyx" Riven said smashing open my door, making me drop my blunt on my lap. "Oww shit Riven" "Youre smoking Nyxxy, maybe I should tell your daddy" Ge said smiling slyly. "Oh fuck off dickhead, he wouldn't care anyway too busy with super Sky" I said saying the last bit quieter. He placed himself next to me stealing my blunt from my fingers.ass. "Oh look who's smoking now" I said smirking. "Now now Nyxxy, what are you doing all alone in your room" he said ignoring my comment. "Go away like you care anyway" I said grabbing back my blunt and pushing him off my bed, he landed with a grunt- which earned a lovely smile from me. "Bitch" he said quieter. "What was that Riv?" Silence. "Oh cmon Riven say it or are you too much of a pussy?" I said edging him on. "I said bitch" he said climbing back on the bed trying to grabb the blunt from my hands.
"Oooh so I'm a bitch?" "Shut up Nyx" I blew out the blunt he climbed on top of me. Before I knew it he was tickling me. "If you don't stop Riven I will kick you" I said sternly, to which he ignored. I was laughing and weezing in between tickles, he was was onto of me his legs either side of mine stopping me from kicking him. "Please.... stop.."I said weezing in-between words. He stopped and looked into my eyes. He started to lean down grabbing my lips in a gentle yet passionate kiss. Wow Riven is actually good at kissing hmm.
We pulled apart. His forehead resting on mine. "Woww you're not that bad Riv" I said earning a chuckle from him. We kept kissing until we'll you know.
When we finished He laced down next to me. "Woww" "will you stop saying that your giving me a head ache Nyx" he said annoyed, I just laughed. I tried standing up but fell flat on my face, I heard a chuckle and put my middle finger up managing to stand up and go to the bathroom. When I came out he was gone. I got dressed and walked down to the training grounds. I saw my dad and Sky training, I walked over to them noticing Riven sat watching them. "Riven" "Nyx, are you OK?" He said whispering the last part in my ear to which I nodded. If my dad and brother find out I will be dead but Riven doesn't know that. "Hi dad?" I said trying to gain my dad's attention when he and Sky finished, he walked straight passed me, Sky went straight to Riven. Lovely.
It was she last day of term, I sat on the steps drinking as who would notice when Rjven came up to me. "Hey nyxxy" "Go ... away" I said breathing in my blunt. He ignored me and just stayed there we spent some time doing just that until Sky came over. "Hi Sky" I said trying to gain my brothers attention but failing him and Riven hugged and walked off. Stella came over and sat next to me. "What are u doing here Stella you hate my guts remember?" I said hitting my head with my fingers. "Just commubg to say hi" she said, I rolled my eyes and walked ro my room.
I sat on my bed until my door swung open. "Hello Nyxxy" .Riven. He gave me a bottle of beer. "Oooh I love you now Riven" I said smiling as I tore off the top he just grinned like a child. "Oooh you love me now?" "Shut up you know that's not what I meant" I said chugging my beer. "Do you mind if I ask you something?" He said curiously to which I nodded. "Sure ask away" "What's with Sky and Silva ignoring you?" "Don't know been like that since I can remember" I said frowning. "Right I gotta go now to party all summer, ooh and get high" I nodded smiling to my self as he closed the door, he opened it and quickly said "In my room there's a stash of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes" with that he left.
During the summer
"Hi dad", "What do you want Nyx?" He asked annoyed. "Nothing" I walked back to my room and drank until I passed out. I woke up to a knock on my door. I grumbled a come in and the door opened "What's with you and Riven Nyx" Sky said immediately slobbering me up. "Nothing why would I want anything to do with that druggy? I said trying to be innocent. "Shut up with the innocent act I know you're giving them all to him" he said showing ne the bag. "What? I'm not giving him anyth-" I was cut off by him pushing me into a wall. "You speak to Riven Nyx I will not hesitate to tell your dad" he said walking off.
Riven kept calling me I clicked on a voicmail. ●Riven○ Answer the phone. 12:15 Cmon Nyx. 12:20 Do you even know how to work a phone. 12:25 Ugh voicmail again. 12:30 Answer please. 12:35 Nyx. 12:40 Are you alive? 12:46 Right I know your alive so Answer. 12:50 Answer. 13:00 Are you okay? 13:20 You high? 13:30 Are you alive? 13:40 Please answer I'm worried. 13:49 Answer. 13:50 Answer. 13:55 Cmon. 14:00 Answer 14:06 He does care. I sent back a thumbs up and blocked him.
I walked downstairs to see my dad at the bottom. I scoffed and walked down. "I got several messages from Riven askingif your alive?" I scoffed and walked away but he grabbed my arm. "Let go" I grunted. "Explain" he said sternly. "Oh so I come downstairs and you're worried most dadwould be in my room 2 hours ago when they got the text making sure their daughter was alive." I said annoyed and walked away.
I was sparring with Sky. He tried to swing his left arm at me but I ducked and swiped his feet, I grabbed his arms and pinned them above his head straddling him. I dug my knee into his throat making sure he couldn't move. "Hah I won" I said smirking. "Move" he said to which I added more pressure making him surrender.

Begin Again (Part 7)
On that same day, after their morning work and practice, the group rejoice at their usual lunch table.
There were conversations yet the discomfort was palpable. The girls on their way crossed Zaine, and (Y/N) happily invited him to eat with them.
Riven was on a near table with Sky, and his girlfriend Bloom, along with an earth fairy, that looked oddly familiar. But (Y/N) friends couldn’t seem to understand why she suddenly was there.
(Y/N) was completely oblivious of what was going on, she was chatting and making good conversation with Zaine, who grew increasingly touchy, rubbing her shoulder, playing with her hair, and moving strands away from her face.
She smiled even more. Mischievously. Bringing her drink to her lips, when Stella, one of Bloom’s best friend rushed over to her.
“I am sorry.. well not really. Better me than anyone to bring you this” she urged, handing her a small card, adorned with (Y/N) family’s seal.
She looked in Stella’s hands, noticing a similar card.
She quickly went serious, took her courage in both hand before opening the small card. Her face went pale.
“I guess we got the same news.. I believe our afternoon is scheduled” Stella said.
“Thank you Stella, I appreciate you bringing it..”
“Good lucks are in orders” she smile anxiously
“Absolutely.. go ahead, I’ll be a minute”
“Are you alright ?” Asked Zaine when she left
Hesitating, she turned towards the group, mustering a smile, and hummed in response.
“So, my family will be here soon.”
“Would you like us to be there?” Asked her water fairy friend
“No, I’ll managed..” she played with the card a bit before adding “actually.. I have a bad memory of our last get together.. but.. I don’t remember exactly why.. I mean I suppose it was about our usual differences..” taking a breath she got up “I need to catch up with Stella. I will see you tomorrow”
Zaine caught her hand and rubbing it gently he said “if you need to talk afterward, or during their visits because they are annoying, I am here for you”
She hesitated before thanking him and pulling her hand free.
Preparing wasn't overly difficult, but stress weighed heavily on them. She got dressed in Stella’s suit, after bringing everything she would need over.
Once downstairs and outside, they awaited the arrival of the cars. The manicured hedges, pristine path, and clear water didn't calm their racing hearts. A long red carpet was laid out, adding to the grandeur of the moment.
"It's just one day," Stella attempted to reassure.
"The card didn't provide any details."
"They may have planned activities, and perhaps your family is staying longer to spend time with you. That's rather nice of them," Stella mused.
(Y/N) side-glanced at her knowingly.
"I know, that's a stretch! I'm just hoping it won't—"
At that moment the first car pulled on the road, followed by another, and another.
“Stella who else is coming ?”
“No body! I mean I don’t know, I don’t have more information than you.. oh god”
This was worse than they would have anticipating.
(Y/N) stood a bit backwards as Stella’s family car approached. Her mother was alone, they greeted before Queen Luna approached her.
Now, (Y/N)'s family's car stopped. Her heart pounded harder, and her hands tensed. As the door opened, her brother emerged, and relief washed over her as they warmly hugged. Their father followed, extending his hand to her mother.
Her father's joviality was apparent as he embraced her before greeting Queen Luna. However, her mother's demeanor remained stern and stoic.
"Hello, Mother," (Y/N) initiated, striving to control her voice.
"Child," her mother responded dryly, then turned to Queen Luna, offering a welcoming smile and open arms.
(Y/N) couldn't tear her eyes away from the last car.
“Dad and I tried to prevent it.. but we failed” said her brother on a barely whisper voice.
A middle-aged couple emerged from the car, accompanied by a young man. She froze, eyeing Stella.
Quick greetings ensued, with the mothers leading the way, seemingly ignoring the rest of the party.
A room was cleared at the Garden globe, a room the girls did not even know existed. They had supper, and (Y/N) was glad to see her brother again. Stella and her even had a chat with the young gentleman. It was going smoothly, so smoothly that her mother stood up, for a toast. Expressing gratitude to everyone, her mother's final words left (Y/N) and Stella stunned. "This seems like the perfect time to share the news. Please, Aldrich, stand." Aldrich rose, beaming. "Starting today, I'm proud to call you a son and welcome you into our family."
(Y/N)'s gaze darted to Stella, who mirrored her confusion.
"Um, Mother, I'm a bit lost. Are (Y/Bro/N) and Aldrich to be wed ?" (Y/N) almost laughed, the absurdity a mix of stress and confusion.
"No, my dear. You are."
In that instant, the calm shattered, and turmoil took over the moment.

The gentle love between two doves
Character: Reggie Mantle x male reader
Universe: Riverdale
Warnings: Suicide, murder. Just, all in all, read at your own risk. Very sad.
Reggie's stride no longer had his almighty confidence. His eyes watered and lost their usual mischievous twinkle. The thick black hair he has always been proud of hangs in his face: all shine gone. His eyeballs were red from crying, and his face was sunken.
Everyone who saw them could only pity him. He had brought this upon himself. If happiness wasn’t enough to keep him safely in the hands that nurtured him with love after the beatings he got from his father. What else could keep him at one's side?
He walked the corridors of the schools. Every laugh reminded him of his love, the one person he could always count on, who gave him life whenever dark thoughts clouded his mind. Each passionate voice triggered memories of heated arguments that could only be resolved with equally heated kisses.
Nobody dared to look into his eyes. Those who knew the reality looked at him with pitying glances, but for those who didn't just look away in hatred for him, the wish that everything should be different was strong in their eyes.
His heart ached for the love he once received. But he destroyed it, jumped on the heart that once could do nothing but smile. 
Nobody knew, not even Reggie himself. Although he should have, whenever his eyes averted from his love, for a split second, he could see the smile he so adored disappear. A cold, sad expression replaced the warm, friendly one he had become so much accustomed to.
In the end, none of your hours-long conversations gave him any clue to what might happen. Now the world was cold and empty after breaking the one person he vowed never to hurt.
He could only walk to class slowly, afraid of the judgmental eyes of his teachers. But before he could reach that place, a girl he barely knew gave him an envelope without saying a word or looking at him.
Confused, even irritated, he opened it without a second guess. Shockingly, it was a letter from you. Your perfect, rounded handwriting, which should never have been archived, gave it away. To confirm, he smelled the paper. Mahogany, as always. You always bathe your letters or even small notes you gave him with this scent. In your words: "Everything I love smells like mahogany!". You even gave him perfume with this scent to show how much you love him.
For a very brief moment, a smile appeared on his suffering face. However, everything changed when he read it. His tears, which had dried for about an hour, flowed again. Tear after tear fell on the letter. A kind of confession, an explanation for many things. Even for your untimely death by your own hand.
Anger grew in him again. Not this time at the thought of your selfishness in doing that one thing that couldn't be restored, but of himself and his idiocy. He's never seen the pain behind your smiling eyes, never questioned the silent tears that sometimes randomly rolled down your cheeks, and never wondered about the strange sores that sometimes appear on your skin.
You told him everything that happened and that he was a reason for you to live on, hoping to work through your problems with a lot of therapy in the future. Until then, you would plan to bite through your pain. But then everything fell apart when the book was found, and Reggie could no longer deny it.
But you also told him that he wasn't the reason you did it, but breaking up with him took away a cause for you to keep going through the mud of your existence.
However, what Reggie broke was the main reason you did it. It made him hate himself even more that he had never suspected anything like this.
Then suddenly, a thought came to him. He hurriedly threw away his backpack after taking out paper and a pen. Just to run out to his car, where he wrote a letter himself. Also, a letter of confession explaining everything about how the book came about. His parents' abuse, the pressure he was under, and their even stricter rules after he came out to them. His father even went so far as to send him to a conversion camp. He then forced him to have intercourse with women until he could do it without any help and only did it with women. At least, that is what he let his father believe.
He wanted to tell you everything once you both finished school and were out of this hell hole. Not once was he mad at Betty for making it public they all deserved it. But he was angry at himself, disappointed that he never told you, in particular, because he knew that you would've understood and would've helped.
At least he could do one thing right. He drove to Betty's house and knocked on the door, which her surprised mother answered. Reggie gave her both letters without many words and asked her to write a story about them, but only tell the truth.
As he walked away, she began to read, tears streaming down her eyes as her hand cupped her open mouth. Reggie looked like a ghost behind the wheel the last time she saw him.
Later that night, the news broke the tragic story of a young man who killed another man by driving him into a tree, killing both of them on impact. Before the investigation could be completed, Betty's mother came out the next day with your and Reggies story, Reggie being the one killing the man the day before. It attracted all media attention.
In addition to the written statement from him and you, he also gave her his mobile phone. With all your chat logs, even some recorded phone records that he secretly took of the two of you, but most important were the pictures, the thousands and thousands of pictures.
She later wrote a book about your love story, which began when you met on a playground, where you hit him with a plastic toy. Instead of crying, he took it from you and hugged you. You two were made for each other, and everyone could see it. Even Reggie's parents confirmed this after the public backlash they experienced, which they could never escape. However, your parents took their own lives shortly after your older brother's misdeeds, which you described in your confession letter, were proven true. However, before they could reap the consequences of their actions, in this case doing nothing about their elder son's misdeeds towards you, even though they knew what was going on, they took the easy way out. It was he that Reggie pinned against a tree with his car.
Betty's mother later wrote an entire book about the love you shared with Reggie and stuck to the truth as Reggie wanted her to do.
It triumphantly topped the best-seller charts for over a decade, made several films and even a decade-long series, with the help of Betty's mother, who gathered all the information and built your story of how it would have happened if you had gotten out of this town.
It didn't stop people watching after Season 3 when the announcement was made that it would all be fiction from that moment on, considering both you and Reggie were already dead.
Betty's mother even built a mausoleum in your honor, far away from the town you both had died in, at a place you both wanted to move to, where the earth is always green.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of couples, widows, and everyone in between visit your mausoleum, bring you their own stories and share the love that could never be as pure and strong as the two of you shared. Many had rightly deduced that you knew of Reggie's actions all along but just wanted to bite the time until you both could put it behind you after leaving that rotten town and therefore had even more respect for you.
But once it became public knowledge, there was no hiding. Now pain-free, sleeping peacefully next to the love of your life, you were happy. For the first time in your existence, you were happy.
The day Reggie arrived at your soul's resting place, you ran into his arms in tears. He apologized so many times, in response, all you could do was kiss him and lead him far into the distance where the two of you could live the life you two ever wanted, with no more tragedy, just the love story you both.

On similar note to anon, I am curious about your specialists' height headcanons 👀
I think they'd all be fairly tall! I know in my heart of hearts that Brandon is 6'1 or taller. I will not accept any other height headcanons for him.
Sky is half an inch taller than Riven, and it pisses Riven off to no end.
