Reunion

“I remember you.”

Fallon rose from where she crouched by the softly flowing river, shaking the cool water from her hand even as her eyes sought the owner of that warm, earthen voice. Halsin stood, half cloaked in the shadow of the moon-touched oak, his gentle gaze settled on her with an unseen smile. 

“I wasn’t sure you would,” she said, her voice low in the darkness, unwilling to risk even a moment of the encompassing calm he always seemed to carry with himself. Even in the Underdark, chained to the bed of her former mistress, he had been an ocean of calm amid the maelstrom of a falling House. 

He pushed from his lean against the tree, stepping from the shadow into the full beam of the moon’s light. “How could I forget my little dark wolf?”

She shook her head, unable to hold his gaze under the weight of memories she had fought so hard to suppress for too long. Two hundred years of pretending that the first kindness ever shown to her had not stolen her heart long before she had ever deemed it of any use. 

“You never came back,” she whispered, the dip of her head sending waves of silver-white hair cascading in front of her face, obscuring the obsidian dark skin that marked her out for so much hatred here on the surface. 

“It was not for lack of will. I was prevented by those that had missed me.”

She felt, more than saw, his approach to her side; the strange comfort of his looming bulk dwarfing her more modest height with a protective mien that was as much a part of him as the broad muscular body that carried him. He stood close, so close; close enough she could feel the heat of his skin through the cloth of her shirt, shivering just a little in reaction to an intimacy that was not yet fully realised. 

“You are cold?” he asked, his arm lifting, hand hovering as though to clasp her shoulder, slide about her back. 

“I-I ...No, I’m just ... it’s been a strange day.”

Coward, she heard that long-forgotten, despised voice from her deep past whisper in the confines of her mind, the last echoes of a matriarch whose only grace in this world had been to fear Lolth more than she hated the child she had been given to raise in her ranks. 

“X’oriethlyn.”

The sound of her given name, unspoken for centuries, rolling from his tongue without a second thought drew a gasp from her throat, her head spinning with the sudden realisation that this druid, this man, did not lie. He did remember her; he remembered enough of her that the old name bestowed by the Spider Queen herself came as easily to him as the name she had given herself when she had first found freedom on the surface. Warmth coursed through her from the gentle press of his hand to her back as he reached for her swaying form; reached only to steady her, not to presume that she welcomed his touch. 

But welcome it she did, unable to prevent herself from turning into the unconditional warmth that opened his arms to her, allowing her to burrow into his embrace like the lost child she had been when they had first met all those long years ago. He smelled of oak and moss and rich, dark earth, of fur and fresh rain, and all those things she had never been able to put a name to until his capture by the matriarch of House Yril'Lysaen. Halsin’s arms closed around her, just as they had done back then, shielding her from the world as she clung to an anchor that she had thought she would never see again. 

How long they stood together on the shore, she could not have said, enveloped as she was in the safety of the druid’s embrace, her face pushed into the curve of his chest, his breath ruffling the fall of her moon-touched hair. 

“You have come so far, little wolf,” he murmured to her, tightening his embrace against the shudder of memory as it ripped through her, as though he could hold back the tide of whips and spiders and cruelty with just the force of his unassuming presence. And perhaps he could; if it had not been for him, tearing through the remaining ranks of guards in the chaos of the fall, she might never have escaped the Underdark herself. “I have longed to see you in the light.”

“I took your name for me,” she said, the words half-laughing, half-sobs, encouraged when she felt his lips curve into a smile against her hair. 

“I could see your strength even then,” he said, his cheek firm against her temple. “If circumstances had allowed, I would have come back for you. I would have delivered you safely to those who could have raised you better.”

“You gave me a chance no one else ever did,” Fallon whispered, finally raising her eyes to his. “You gave me freedom, Halsin. I can’t ever repay you for it.”

His smile seemed to gentle somehow further in the cool light of the moon, his head lowering until his brow touched hers, until all she could see was the druid she had loved in the secret of her soul for so many years, certain she would never see him again. 

“Your freedom was never something I expected payment for,” he murmured. “Your life is your own, Fallon X’oriethlyn. But I am glad to see you walk in the light. Your radiance is undimmed by time.”

She snorted with laughter, squeezing his waist gently before easing back, dashing the unwanted tears from her face. 

“You are still too charming for your own good,” she retorted, her smile a moonbeam of its own in the face of his chuckle.

“Or perhaps I am seeking to unlock a new memory.”

His palm touched her cheek, turning her face back to his, and for the longest moment, she thought she could see her dreams reflected in hazel eyes that flickered with something neither one of them could yet put a name to. But he was free, and so was she, at last walking beneath the same moon. 

And he remembered.

after many years of being strong // may you have the chance to be gentle again

#simon blackquill #aura blackquill #athena cykes #ace attorney #more fanfi c deleted scenes :V this is how i deal w being stressed #i hope its clear theyre getting simons stuff from auras storage unit and putting aura's stuff in while shes in priso n #this sequence is also many headcannons deep. mainly that he was into birds before samurai stuff and also is autisti c #there's scholarship abt the correlation btwn being aut istic and tra ns. not that simon is but he mightve been Bad At Gende r in other ways #as in Let Me Bring My Soft Pink Thing To School. which might lead you to seek out more mas c interests at some point #like strong muscuIar men fighting each other with swords. A very manIy interest for someone whos 1000% straigh t of course #Also if you consider the timing and Auras whole Vibe I think you will agree she was a scene queen #my art

Helluva Boss s2 ep4 spoilers!

ohhh i am so normal about this

the way Blitzo got genuinely worried about him, was like 'oh shit this might actually be serious' and he said afterward 'he can get hurt?' implies that he didn't realise before that Stolas can feel as everyone else feels, as before he always put Stolas up on a pedestal as higher than him - a prince. It's now that he realises that Stolas is just as much of a person as anyone else. He can die, he’s not invincible. he can feel, he has a heart. I think this is now when Blitzo starts developing genuine feelings for him from here, as he now sees him as not a prince or someone higher than him on the food chain, but Stolas, a person like anyone else.

#i've never really shipped stolitz that much as i'm more of a one for softer less angsty ships as a personal preference #but i was holding out for a soft stolitz scene and it delievered holy hell #stolitz #helluva boss #stolas #blitzo #vivziepop #helluva boss season 2 #helluva boss spoilers

harrow's dark and twisted mind........ wellspring of such sinister contemplations as 'I believe in the co-existence of soup and murder' and 'what if griddle worked at a coffee shop and it was -- and I cannot stress this enough -- SO fucking sexy'

#the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #griddlehark #harrowhark nonagesimus #it makes me feel so soft in my heart to think about the coffee shop scene. oh harrow
