"As I was about to clip a constellated tiara atop my head, a soft thud echoed through my room. A draft of cool air caressed my cheek, a whisper of the night's embrace as I turned towards the open window. There perched Atreus as if suspended in the frame. His uniform was sharp and pristine — a testament to his dedication to his job. A playful smile danced upon his lips, but it was the twinkle in his eyes that spoke volumes about our shared history.

"Ever the climber," I remarked, a quirk of amusement gracing my voice. "You know, they invented stairs for a reason,"

His grin widened as he swung a leg over the sill, landing with the silent grace that only those sworn to protect could master. "Where's the fun in that?" His smile broadened further as he placed a knee to the floor in a mocking reverence. "Besides, I wouldn't miss this view."

“Flatterer,” I said playfully, though a blush coloured my cheeks. “And stand up Tre, this is awkward.” I couldn't help but laugh at his antics. Our laughter mingled, a momentary balm against the drumming pulse of anticipation for the evening ahead. We both knew the more I’d berate him for acting so proper around me, the more he’d play into it to tease me.

His eyes were fixed on me, with a spark that seemed to light up his face more and more these days. A playful punch to his shoulder, I turned around to hide my blushing face. “Stop looking at me like that or my knees will not hold me any longer,” my eyes rolled to the ceiling. “This corset is giving me a hard time. Instead of bothering your princess, can you help me tighten the laces in the back?”

My best friend seemed to freeze for a moment, as if the very air between us had solidified. But he quickly masked his hesitation with a tight nod, gently taking hold of the corset strings with hands that trembled slightly. His manner was marked by a careful grace as he worked the laces with deft fingers, the intimate proximity of our bodies making my heart flutter in my chest. I felt a warmth spreading up the back of my neck, threatening to suffuse my cheeks with color under his touch. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, his breath hitching.

"Sorry, did I pull too tight?" he asked, concern threading through his voice.

"No, it's fine," I replied, but my words came out a bit strained. It wasn't the corset that was bothering me - not really. I strayed away from him and spun in a cheerful twirl. 

"See? Perfect," I said, my voice trying to fly with a cheerful note. Atreus's quiet chuckle responded, and he stepped back to give me space, his fingers lingering on the ends of the laces for a second longer than necessary. My heart seemed to echo his touch - a little tremble here, a little throb there.

He took a step back, looking me up and down with an approving nod. His eyes were wide, a roiling storm of emotions flickering within their depths. Emotions I didn't dare put a name to. "You look stunning, Vy." His voice was soft, almost shy, like he was afraid of shattering the moment with the weight of his words.

“Thanks to you,” I responded, trying to brush it off with a light-hearted chuckle but the intensity in his gaze told me he didn’t buy it. It was as if he saw right through me, just like I saw right through him. " Taglist under cut (send an ask/dm to be +/-!):

Evya Sunset - take a moment to enjoy the things around you <3

I’m on vacation right now, so I had a lot of time to draw some things traditionally since I couldn’t bring my tablet with me.

Thank you @inkhelm for tagging me !

Rules: Rewrite the given line in the voices of characters from your WIP of choice!

My line is “It's better if you leave.” I'll do it with my main WIP: Starborn Sonata.

Evya: "As your princess, I'm telling you to leave."

Atreus: "I'm sorry, but I think it'd be best if you left."

Miklos: “Consider this mercy. You don’t know the consequences of staying."

Jaromira: "For your sake, just... Get out."

horror themed asks

gonna answer these for Evya from the science-fantasy-portal-cosmic-horror story again because she's bouncing around in my brain like a screensaver

🧭 - what would your character do if they got lost in another dimension/world/universe/timeline? do they try to go home? do they even want to?

omg this is literally the premise of the entire story. like, in the actual story she goes through a portal and ends up in an exact copy of earth as it was 3,000 years ago, that's completely empty with no people in it. I won't go into a huge amount of story details here, but she very much does try to get back for a while, because she's scared and alone and also an extrovert, but in the end, being the scientist nerd she is, she ends up wanting to stay there and study the other world. (spoiler alert, she ends up becoming the "guardian" of the portal so she can go back and forth whenever it opens.)

🌃 - what would your character do if they were trapped in a labyrinthine city that's alive?

genuinely I think she would try to befriend it. there would be the initial "why does it seem like the city's actively hostile to me" then "wait if it's actively hostile that means it has a consciousness" then "if it has a consciousness that means I can communicate with it" and then that would be her mission for the rest of the story! befriend the living city!

🪚 - what would happen if you put two of your characters in a saw trap maze together?

Evya: well if I had to die at least this is an interesting way to die

Caitrin: shut up and work with me to get out of here

I can't find the link to the original ask thingy because it's been foreverrrrrrr since I got this ask, I'm so sorry haha. Anyway I believe I shall answer this for Evya, an OC from a weird science fantasy cosmic horror-ish portal thingy I'm developing, because that's the story that's infected my brain recently.
