#juniper x reader

Celine’s kiss is like a flower’s first bloom. It starts gentle and soft, her lips near petals over yours. The second is deeper, more intimate. It’s still nothing improper, merely a communication of all you make her feel. She tries to maintain her calm demeanor, yet the sensation of your affection only leaves her heart flourishing.

Celine’s favorite kisses are adventurous. She’s always had a wild streak, its roots long buried into her life’s soil. Early mornings bring it to the surface, when pastels paint the sky and dew coats the fields. Blankets tangle around you as you roll around her bed, Celine’s giggles echoing between every kiss. She plays with different angles, depths, and types – all crafting an imaginary novel she loves.

Your favorite kisses are given during fireside cuddles, books long forgotten in your laps. Your lips find each other like the sun and earth, constant in their pull. What begins as light reading and the exchange of stories and notes soon devolves into nothing more than a make-out, thoughts scattering like dandelion seeds in the wind.

Juniper’s kiss feels as intoxicating as the wine on her lips. In the privacy of her room, the misty veil over her affection parts. She’s far less reserved in her control of your kiss, even though she did not initiate it. For better or for worse, she prefers to play the game of silent yearning – something that only serves to make your lips all the sweeter against hers. She can never get enough of their heady meeting, of the rush that floods her cheeks and veins.

Juniper’s favorite kisses are indulgent, like golden cookies and a fine vintage on Friday nights. When business is slow, she can take her time with you, memorizing every sound that slips past your lips. She can hold you as close as she’d like and delve into you, treasuring your warmth. Later, she’ll act as if she wasn’t so tender with you, but you both know the truth.

Your favorite kisses are experimental. Most of the time it’s trying a new style Elsie shared from her many escapades, something to melt Juniper’s cold exterior and drive her crazy. Other times, though, it takes on an… unconventional angle. While your partner’s trials in sorcery and potions were often charming, they could get quite grating. Hence, your persistent croaks as a frog in her gloved palm. Juniper grimaced before placing a light kiss on your head, leaving your human body to be cradled in her arms with a blissful smile.

Reina’s kiss feels like summer sunshine. Sweet and all-encompassing, her love falls over you without reservation. She always leaves a “Reina’s fourteen” of playful pecks on your lips afterward, smile brighter than any golden ray. Her joy is infectious, her attention leaving the rest of your busy day lighter. You can only hope to provide her the same, at the very least with a new dish to attempt.

Reina’s favorite kisses come with a dance. She’s learned plenty watching her parents at town events and even learning from Josephine herself on occasion. She’s thrilled to be held close and spun around, your laughter harmonizing before a parting kiss. She’ll often hum later, coming up with new steps to try the next time you surprise her!

Your favorite kisses are given during Reina’s taste tests! She always invites you to her private kitchen, excitedly rambling about what flavor profiles she wants to try with the unique things you’ve foraged. You sneak kisses the entire time you work, all the way up to the plating. Reina’s lips taste even better spiced, sharp citrus undercutting the mixture. You can’t help but melt, turning to her light like sunflowers on a bright day.

Seridia’s kiss feels like a flame amidst the dark. Shadow has been all she’s known for millennia, all she’s come to expect from her immortal life. Fire was once hers, an inherent power that testified her status. Now, when she sees it in you, her first instinct is jealousy, a craving to have what once was. She never expected it would be like this, your lips against hers in her former temple. Every touch thrills her senses, igniting love’s spark under her skin. It burns deliciously, razing you into her veins.

Seridia’s favorite kisses come as worship, on late and delicate nights. The past lingers brutally, itching under her scales and keeping her from sleep. Your light graces her then, soft kisses falling along her form. She eases into your touch, eyes falling shut as she allows you to pay tribute wherever you see fit. While this level of trust feels new, it is surprisingly comforting. Her horns have become the spot guaranteed to make her go slack. Every pass of your plush lips on their keratinous curve leaves her breath and heart stuttering. The sensation of worship was long lost to her, but she can understand how many go mad from this intoxication.

Your favorite kisses are wild, given in Seridia’s passionate and instinctual moments. Despite the heat of her kiss, her clawed hands still hold your face with care. She never wishes to tarnish nor harm her greatest treasure, after all. The only one who understands her, who provides her with gifts, company, and unconditional love. Her lips are fierce, fangs dancing across yours, now plush and swollen from her attention. Her eyes shine in the candlelight as she parts, kissing the racing pulse in your neck.

Valen’s kiss feels like hot tea on an autumn evening. Her steadiness is soothing, her tenderness and care precious. She’s rarely rough with you, always respectful in her touches. Still, she’s no stranger to romance and passion. She’s left you breathless and blissful on kisses alone. She merely prefers more depth to the intimacy between you, something she hopes her considerate heart and comforting kiss can foster.

Valen’s favorite kisses come under noon’s light, when you’ve visited her office for lunch. It means everything to her to have these little moments throughout the day. To know that you’re thinking about her and spending your valuable time at her side. She can’t resist leaving a kiss on your lips before she sits with you, the soft scent of rose hip lingering.

Your favorite kisses are placed on your forehead. Valen’s warm hold has always made you feel safe, feel seen and heard. When she smiles softly at you, placing a kiss on your forehead before tucking you closer, the overwhelming sense of home hits you. Her grin only widens if you cuddle closer, another kiss arriving on the top of your head. Valen may be a bit of a tease, but her kind heart always shines through.

ᯓ★ ADELINE... as a mermaid

♡ She's the mermaid and her brothers' the siren. Really, wouldn't it have been better the other way around? As a mermaid, there isn't much she has to defend herself with, so maybe it's for the better that her human obsessed brother is the one with all the defense...

♡ She doesn't like humans, not really. It's not like she hates them or anything! But they're notorious for capturing and hunting species like hers, and as a princess her people simply can't afford that happening to her.

♡ Still... She does admit she's a little curious when she finds a human in the middle of helping remove an invasive species from the nearby coral reefs. Are you hunting, or hunting them? For food? Is that what humans eat?

♡ She'll watch you; eyes carefully honed in on the way you help pick up trash and hunt invasive species to assist the wildlife there. Are all humans like this? If you're so sweet, why would your kind have such a bad reputation?

♡ It probably takes her months of watching you with wide, eager eyes before she musters up the courage to approach you. She's never spoken with a human before! Eiland must be so jealous, she's sure. Unfortunately, she probably ends up scaring you half to death...

♡ Still... a mermaid willingly approaching a human? That's never been heard of before. And the way her scales shine, translucent with white and pink. God, how can anyone not be enamored with someone as lovely as her? She's lovely as she offers to introduce you to some of the fish, and you've never had so many of them so close to you.

♡ She loves the way you tell her that you've been doing the work as part of an activist program. She's so happy that humans are helping the oceans! She even starts helping you when you show her what plastic is and explain why it's harmful and helps you locate the invasive species.

♡ It's very fun, and while she still loves her royal duties, she can't help but feel it's a wonderful breath of fresh air to have a more hands-on duty. And when summer ends, and you tell her you have to go back home, she'll hand you a bracelet she's made with her own scales and promise that she'll wait there for you until next year.

ᯓ★ CELINE... as a nymph

♡ She's a quiet nymph who lives away from her family up in the hills where many humans have their farms. In fact, she loves helping with the farms! She puts in an extra effort for their crops every time one leaves her a gift, and the flowers there are always healthy and burgeoning.

♡ You are, unfortunately, probably not a very good farmer. You've always been better with animals, herding your family's sheep, but you're determined to make it work so you move to the village where she is too.

♡ Like she does for everyone else, she carefully tends to your flowers — going the extra mile once she sees that you're not... quite sure what you're doing. She wants to help! She watches you for a while, noting everything you do right and everything you do wrong.

♡ She takes some time before leaving the letter with everything wrong you're doing for your plants. It sure is helpful! But also... who in the world watched you so long without being noticed?

♡ When she sees that you've become scared, eyes drifting across your neighbors with distrust she immediately feels bad. The community here is so lovely, she doesn't want to ruin it!

♡ The elders of the village kind of know she's there, even if the younger ones don't believe them, but no one has ever seen her. Before you! She introduces herself, giving you a show of what she can do so that you won't be so scared. And she's really underestimated how much she misses talking to people!

♡ She only visits her family for the winters, which is a long time by her self through the other seasons... So now that she has someone, she'll excitedly help you with your garden with her own hands. It's so refreshing to have the dirt under her hands show her hard work, rather than just using her magic for everything.

♡ Invite her for dinners, late night walks... She'd love you help you cook a meal with the vegetables that you've finally managed to harvest! And well, she's so sweet and helpful, how can you say no to her showing up at your doorstep more and more frequent?

♡ You're so sweet to her! Sure, she knows her mama will be upset with her since she isn't supposed to show herself to humans. But she thinks they can make an exception this one time. Maybe it should've been more a surprise when she asks you to visit her family with her for the winters. She doesn't want you here all alone!

♡ It isn't a surprise. Her crush is ridiculously obvious.

ᯓ★ REINA... as a huldra

♡ Your family has always worked closely with a huldra, a kind old one, so you know to treat them with respect and not fear. Your family has instilled into you for long that yes, many do not see them as kind, but they are. It's how you can all sleep soundly, your mother tells you, thanks to the huldra and their help.

♡ When you move out, ready for a life by yourself, you've never seen a huldra. They are allusive creatures, after all, but you leave out offers and ask for the aid of any that may live nearby. And sure enough, Reina, eager after tasting a meal you've left out decides to help you keep watch over your home and works.

♡ She keeps a careful eye, and you're able to sleep peacefully, knowing she'll wake you should something be wrong. In return, you make sure to cook extra and leave her a portion outside each meal you have.

♡ It works. It's a peaceful life, even if you never see her or what she looks like. But she wants more! She's seen how friendly you are with other traveling people just looking for a rest, and she wants to try cooking for herself too! There isn't much she can do out in the wilderness, after all.

♡ You don't think much of it when a woman in a long dress asks to stay the night. Neither do you when she asks you to teach her to make good. Suddenly, you're making three portions rather than two. She feels bad, or would've, but she makes sure to eat everything you leave for her.

♡ She stays longer than she said she would. You don't question it. But it's inevitable when you one day catch sight of her tail coming past her dress and gasp. She's quick to explain, telling you that she's the huldra that's been helping you and that she was just curious!

♡ And well, the company is nice, surely she can stay a little longer?

ᯓ★ VALEN... as a shape-shifter

♡ She's still a doctor — but she's also the most renowned doctor pretty much everywhere. The amazing thing about her shape-shifting is that she doesn't just take up the form, but the essence, too. She saw a unicorn, once, and has been able to mimic them ever since for the healer powers inside their tears.

♡ She's so sought after that multiple royal families gave requested her personal services. She has refused again and again. She no longer has any need for money and instead seeks payment in other ways. Such as objects that mean a lot, or just things she needs like food.

♡ You've always been sicker than most. Nothing deadly, according to the village medics, but you've never been quite as healthy as everyone else either. So when she passes through, the so-called miracle worker, you scrounge up every last coin you have. It probably won't be a lot, but... you have to try!

♡ She does accept it, and then immediately just point out that you get sick all the time because of allergies. She passes you some medicine for it alongside your money back.

♡ You're surprised. Of course you are! What doctor helps you and then rejects your payment? You're determined to repay her, and when she doesn't want your money you try other things. You cook meals for her, convince the inn to let her stay for free however long she needs in return for you helping them with the work, and offer up every cool thing you can find that you think she can like.

♡ She isn't much of a hoarder — nothing in her biology tells her to collect things — but she finds herself keeping every single thing you hand to her. She has to admit, it is a little charming how persistent you are.

ᯓ★ JUNIPER... as a matagot

♡ You don't necessarily find it strange when a black cat shows up in the streets by your home. You're a city person, after all, and strays are everywhere. Still, the poor thing looks cold and hungry, and you're quick to offer it some fish and milk. You watch it eat, sitting with it so you can get the silky fur before touching your own.

♡ The next morning, you find a solid gold coin outside your doorstep and you almost feel like a thief when you take it. But it was there! On your step!

♡ The cat shows up again the next evening, wide eyes staring up at you, and it's hard to contain a smile. It's very pretty, and you think if cats could be models, this one would be one. Again, you offer it some food, and then once the cat rushes off, you step inside to eat your own dinner.

♡ This continues. You become too nervous to spend the money, instead keeping it in a jar. And when the next evening you hear meows outside, you're quick to step outside with food, only to find a woman sitting there. You glance around for the cat — nothing. The woman scoffs.

♡ "You're not very smart, are you?"

♡ She doesn't explain anything. Just takes the food you brought for the cat and leaves, letting you stand frozen by yourself. It's only when you visit the strange old lady at the edge of town that she explains what it is. It makes your heart flutter, slightly, and you make sure prepare her a plate of the food you make yourself everytime.

♡ You watch her tail flick content, as she eats the food you've brought her today. And then the next morning, another gold coin has been left for you. It's an easy rhythm to fall into, knowing she understands you when you tell her about your day.

♡ Eventually, you start eating outside. You still wait for her to finish, of course, but you sit outside and eat when she has. At first, she doesn't stay. Eventually, she does. And then she starts sitting with you in her human form, eyes wide and staring at you.

♡ She's kind of annoying, but she's charming enough to be good company anyway, and the city doesn't make you feel so small with her there.
