Old art repost but missed her

(This is just me going berserk with cute nicknames btw)

(also sorry Janaya fans, ;)

The golden hues of Lux Aurea bathed everything in a warm, ethereal light. The city was slowly recovering, but the scars of the battle against Aaravos still marred its once-perfect visage. Callum, with his innate talent for magic, was assisting the mages in removing some of the lingering corruption. His dedication was unwavering, and Rayla admired him for it, even if it meant spending hours alone in their assigned room.

Rayla didn’t have much knowledge of magic, nor did she know many people in Lux Aurea. Aside from Queen Janai, Callum’s Aunt Amaya, and soon-to-be Uncle Gren, the city felt foreign and intimidating. She often found herself hesitating to leave the room unless Callum was with her, feeling out of place in the grandeur of the Sunfire Elf city.

Callum, ever the attentive boyfriend he was, noticed her reluctance. Whenever he was back from his duties, he showered her with affection, trying to make up for the time spent apart. Extra kisses, tender touches, and sweet words were his way of ensuring she never felt alone or unloved.

Rayla tried to accept his love, to bask in the warmth of his affections, because she deeply wanted to. But there was always a nagging voice in the back of her mind, whispering that she didn’t deserve him, that someone as wonderful as Callum deserved better.

What stood out to her was his frequent use of endearments like, darling, babe, and love. Initially, she had thought he was just trying to tease her in front of his aunt, but it became clear that he genuinely enjoyed using them.

To Rayla, such terms were reserved for someone truly special, someone you planned to spend your life with. They felt out of place for someone who had left and caused so much heartache—definitely not for her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she didn’t deserve such tender names. When he called her ‘Ray,’ she nearly melted. He always said them with a casual ease that left her breathless. Too casual.

Rough hands shoved her past the bars. Amaya stumbled, catching herself on the stone with her shoulder. She whirled around to face her captors. With the blindfold on she couldn’t tell if they were still there, but she stuck her chin out anyway.

I mean

A: JANAYA!!!! IS!!! SO!!! MUCH!!! BETTER!!!

Gremaya was actually my first TDP ship. There's...a little bit of an "ick" with it, for me, just due to the supervisor/subordinate thing (I can explain it in private if you want me to, it's nothing really that complicated). I still like the ship, though. Claudiez is...Claudia/Ezran, I think? It's okay, I guess. I'm not really into it, but I can see the appeal. Truth be told, though, I find it hard to ship Claudia with anyone.
