Delulu realms

Jaheira, the High-Harper 🌸

"Do... not... fail." Gortash's eyes popped wide open again. The presence was gone. Well, mostly. He could still sense the shadows of Lord Bane's magic and influence in his mind and body. But he was back in the bed in Moonrise Towers, Ophelia sleeping beside him. He turned over to her and buried his face into Ophelia's hair, her scent slowly replacing the smell of metal and stone that had been caught in his nose. He had nothing but gratitude that Lord Bane chose him, that he helped him claw his way from the literal depths of the hells.  But when he rubbed the back of his neck, remembering Lord Bane's grip, he could not help but remember the way his mother used to grip him just like that. And sometimes his father too if he was ever foolish enough to fight or talk back to her.  And if he failed today... he would be tortured for eternity. He imagined it would very much reflect his beatings from his parents, from those in the House of Hope, maybe even a reopening of all his physical scars.  Ophelia softly hummed in her sleep and turned onto her back.  Did Bhaal come to her in her dreams with a warning? Surely not, or at least not right that moment. She looked far too peaceful. Gortash pulled back the bedclothes and looked her over. He could barely make out the details of her form in the darkness but as he ran his hand along her skin he could remember everything, every scar, every line of ink.  The room was full of subordinates and surely at least a few of them were awake. But the bed curtains were closed and it could be his last chance… 

I'm finally re-entering the land of the semi-living after about 2 hellish weeks at work hehe, going through my tags and seeing all your lovely posts is bringing me LIFE 🥰🥰

Tagged by the awesome @kt-catt, @optimisticgrey, @eliwyntorleth (I couldn't seem to get your post to open, let me know if I missed it somehow!!), @saylofwaterdeep, @fireflyeyes, @dynamicducks, @ele-millennial-weirdo and @rdekarios (apologies if I missed anyone, please let me know if I did!). Thank you all 🥰🥰

I saw folks doing this both with themselves and their OC(s), so here is the Picrew of myself followed by Nienna 🥰

That's Hannah. 🥰 although I have full sleeve tattoos on both arms and didn't see an option for those, so just imagine those there lmao!

And here's my baby, Nienna, with some "incorrect" (in quotation marks because these are eerily accurate lol) quotes with her and Geraldus:

Nienna: How much did you spend on this date? Geraldus: $1400. But all of it's on credit cards, so it's like $5 a month for the next 2,000 years.

Geraldus: Can you cut me some slack, Nienna? I’m sort of in love. Nienna: I’m sorry, but that’s really not my problem. Geraldus: I’m in love with you. Nienna: *blushes* Oh. That brings me in the loop a little.

Nienna: I fell— Geraldus: From heaven? Nienna: No, I literally fell— Geraldus: In love with me the moment you saw me? Nienna: MY ARM IS BROKEN! Geraldus: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest.

I'm so late in taking part in this, so please let me know if you've already done this and I've missed it!!
