The Ebonsteeds

With ᴛᴇᴀʀs, ʀᴇɢʀᴇᴛ, and sʜᴀᴍᴇ.

But, ʏᴏᴜ - 𝔏𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱 - ʏᴏᴜ.

ʏᴏᴜ touched my sᴄᴀʀs without fear.

Wiped away the ᴛᴇᴀʀs, the sʜᴀᴍᴇ.

(Made me feel human again...)

I am still ᴀsʜᴀᴍᴇᴅ of myself, my past.

But ʏᴏᴜ...

(A very brief mini-drabble for Love is in the Air featuring Gin and Terrick.) ( @terrick-ebonsteed )

The year before had found the pair separated by the Legion.  With Gin off fighting with Greymane and his forces in one area, and Terrick off in who knew where.  This year, though, found the older rogue semi-retired and Gin on leave with the defeat of Sargeras; meaning they could spend time together this year.

“Where are y’takin’ me?”  Terrick was blindfolded; dressed in one of his finest suits as he was lead by Gin who had donned a dress and styled her hair in something other than a ponytail.

“Yeh’ll see, love.  Just a few more steps, yeah?”  She stopped, making sure he didn’t trip as he stopped short.  “Y’can take th’blindfold off, now.”

As he removed the fabric from his eyes, he’d be greeted by the sight of a candlelit dinner laid out under the trees.  “Lyis ‘s watchin’ th’twins, an’ ah though’ we could both use th’qu-”  Her words were cut off by a passionate kiss, pulling his wife close.

“I love ya, lass,” he muttered as he pulled away, pulling her gently to the ground.

My Character Must Confess in Threes

(Accepting!)

Similar:

“There’s an…elven woman ah know.  Ah’ve no’ seen ‘er in a long while, bu’,” she trailed off, looking back down at her work. ( @unholysunblade; AU)

“Kiya.  An’ she knows.  She enjoys exploitin’ ‘at lil’ fact.”  ( @kiyastrasza; AU, MU, and everything in between)

“ ‘At Wieda’s quite attractive, as well.  Shame we didn’ meet sooner.”  ( @wiedaashcroft; MU)

Different:

“Terrick, o’course.  Those blood red eyes an’ dashin’ charm o’ ‘is.  Makes me weak in th’knees.”  ( @terrick-ebonsteed; MU)

“Gatz - while ‘e can be a bit of an arse - is dashin’.  Ah’ve grown rather fond o’ ‘im over our time t’gether,” her voice trailed off as she toyed with the beads in her hair.  ( @brashtide-menace; AU)

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you, I know what you'll do You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

Terrick would cause John to start arguing with Gin about the age gap, but he would surprisingly earn the instant approval of Minerva simply for being male and Gilnean.  John would eventually shut up upon learning that Terrick is Gilnean nobility, and turn to complete mush at the sight of his grandchildren, his face lighting up upon learning that they named their son after him. ( @terrick-ebonsteed )

Gatz would be greeted with a very loud “wasn’t he a prisoner of Gilneas” from Minerva, Gin responding to her with an even louder “MUM!”  John would start arguing with Gin about the age difference, eventually ending in an exasperated Gin throwing her hands up, grabbing Gatz by the arm, and storming out.

Terrick and Virginia Ebonsteed

I felt like making some moodboards for Gin’s ships to try and gain some inspiration for writing.

Attention everyone: this.
