I really admire your idea and your kindnessâplease donât worry about your English, it was perfectly clear and heartfelt! Hope you enjoy!! (´・⢠ᾠâ˘ď˝Ą`) âĄ
TW: themes of trauma, war, death, medical imagery, and implied assassination. Please read with care. (Ë︜Ë).・.:*âĄ
MASTERLIST
The chime above the cafĂŠ door jingled with its usual gentle ring, soft and familiar like a whispered greeting. Mori Ougai stepped inside, posture straight, movements graceful and measured. Behind him, Elise bounced in with barely contained excitement, her eyes lighting up the moment she spotted the rows of strawberry parfaits displayed behind the glass case.
The cafĂŠ was warm and tranquil, a soft refuge tucked quietly away from the chaos of Yokohamaâs streets. Sunlight pooled through the windows, casting golden stripes across the wooden floors. You were already behind the counter, drying a mug with a soft towel, and glanced up with a smile that came naturally at the sight of them.
âWelcome back,â you said, voice warm. âYour usual seat today?â
Moriâs lips curved into a polite, familiar smile. âOf course,â he replied, removing his gloves with slow precision. âAnd Elise, I assume, will insist on the parfait again?â
âYes, yes!â Elise clapped her hands together and darted toward the window seat, the one she always claimed, already pulling her legs up into the booth like she owned the place. âWith extra cream this time, okay? You always forget!â
âI donât always forget,â you replied with a teasing glance. âBut fineâextra swirl, just for you.â
She gave a little victorious âhmph,â folding her arms and watching the dessert case with laser focus.
Mori chuckled under his breath as he settled into the seat across from her, brushing a speck of lint from his coat sleeve. âSheâs been talking about this parfait since last week. I believe Iâve been threatened with exile if we didnât come today.â
âShe does have excellent taste,â you said, stepping out from behind the counter with a small notepad in hand, though you already knew their order by heart. âCoffee for you? Black, no sugar, a dash of cinnamon?â
âAlways.â He nodded. âYou remember better than most.â
âI pay attention.â You offered him a quiet, knowing smile before scribbling the order anyway, more out of habit than need.
As you turned to head back toward the kitchen, Elise leaned over to whisper to Moriâloudly enough for you to still hear.
âYou two should just marry already,â she said with exaggerated annoyance. âYou keep staring.â
Mori raised a brow and cleared his throat, uncharacteristically flustered. âElise.â
âWhat?â she huffed. âIâm just saying what everyone else is thinking.â
You bit your lip to hold back a laugh as you disappeared through the doorway to start on their drinks and dessert.
Behind you, Mori sighed. âChildren,â he muttered, but there was the faintest softness in his voiceâsomething not quite annoyance. Something else entirely.
He came oftenâtoo often, perhapsâfor someone who clearly didn't belong to the quiet rhythm of everyday life. Not that he ever drew attention. Quite the opposite. When RintarĹ walked through the cafĂŠ door, it wasnât with the air of a powerful man. There was no tailored suit, no polished shoes, no slick professionalism that hinted at authority.
Instead, he wore the same worn white doctorâs coat, frayed slightly at the cuffs, like it had lived through more than it should have. His hair, once neatly parted, now fell messily around his temples, and he hadnât shaved in daysâhis jaw shadowed with a soft stubble that made him look more tired than dangerous. If anyone noticed, they probably assumed he was just a fatigued hospital worker on a break. Someone normal. Invisible.
But not to you.
To you, he was the man who drank his coffee far too bitter, who hunched slightly when he read from crumpled medical texts in the corner, who only relaxed when Elise laughed with her mouth full of cream. Youâd grown used to the image of him like thisâunkempt, quiet, a little frayed around the edgesâand maybe thatâs why you liked him even more.
Here, in this little pocket of the world, he let his guard down. No title. No grandeur. Just a man who always chose the corner booth, who always said your name a little softer than necessary, who always seemed a little sad when he thought no one was looking.
He was rough around the edges, yes, but he was real. And you had come to look forward to that quiet presence more than you dared admit.
You knew so little, really. Only that he often sat silently while Elise devoured sweets with childlike glee, her voice rising with delight as she demanded more whipped cream or argued with him about dessert etiquette. And you? Youâd linger longer than necessary at his table, refilling his cup when it was still half-full, offering a quiet smile and a few easy words.
Over time, the distance between you had shrunkâsubtly, naturally. You learned he liked lilacs, though he never said it outright, only commented on the small vase of them once with the faintest curve of a smile. Youâd noticed the way he paused before answering your questions, as if weighing how much of himself to offer. You respected that. Never pushed.
âRintarou,â you called him, and he let youâno correction, no deflection.Â
Friends, you told yourself. Thatâs all it was. Friends who exchanged soft glances when the cafĂŠ grew quiet. Friends who always seemed to notice each otherâs mood without speaking. But there was something in the silences between youâwords neither of you dared speak aloud. Something lingering in the way your fingers brushed his when passing his cup. In the way his gaze lingered just a moment too long when he thought you werenât looking.
No one had said itânot yetâbut the space between friendship and something more was growing thinner with every visit.
You slid his coffee across the table, hand brushing his by accident. He didnât pull away. But his eyes... were tired. More than usual.Â
You approached the table with his coffee in hand, setting it down with the gentle clink of ceramic against wood. Elise was too busy humming to herself while scribbling in a coloring book to notice anything, but you caught it the moment you looked at himâRintarouâs eyes were duller than usual, ringed faintly with exhaustion. His posture wasnât as straight, his shoulders slouched just slightly, and he hadnât even bothered to brush the sleep lines from his cheek.
âYou didnât sleep well, did you?â you asked softly, sliding into the seat across from him, your tone more concerned than casual.
He looked up, blinking once like youâd caught him off guard. âIs it really that obvious?â
Not All Dark Wings Are Red Flags: In Defense of Rhysand đ¤â¨đď¸
After talking about Tamlin... letâs talk about Rhysand!
No, really. Letâs talk about him â because for a character whoâs literally written to be the fantasy, he sure gets called toxic a lot.
Itâs a conversation that keeps resurfacing in fandom spaces: âHeâs manipulative.â âHe hides things.â âHe has too much power.â And sure, if you squint hard enough and remove all context and character development⌠you might be able to argue that.
But hereâs the thing: Rhysand isnât toxic. Heâs complicated. And there's a very big difference.
đ§ First of all: He was introduced as a mask. Letâs not forget A Court of Thorns and Roses was written through Feyreâs point of view â and Rhys, at that point, wanted her to mistrust him. He wasnât trying to be liked. He was trying to protect his people, himself, and Feyre, in the only way he could under Amaranthaâs rule. The Rhys we meet at the beginning is not a complete man â heâs a cornered animal with claws out.
đ But the deeper we go, the more we see the real version. By A Court of Mist and Fury, we learn that Rhysand is one of the only characters who respects Feyreâs autonomy. He gives her choice, time, space. He doesnât lock her in a house, doesnât silence her pain, and certainly doesnât pretend to know whatâs best for her. He challenges her, but never controls her.
đ He understands trauma â because he lives with it. Rhysand doesnât arrive in the narrative as a knight in shining armour. Heâs broken, strategic, full of pain â and still able to offer gentleness. Unlike the male love interest in book one, he never tries to rescue Feyre from herself. He helps her become who she wants to be, not who he wants her to be. That's not toxic â thatâs healing.
đ "But he kept things from her!" Yes. Because trust is something thatâs built, not automatic. Because he wanted her to choose him, not feel obligated to him. Because sometimes, people make the wrong call â even when their intentions are good. And importantly: when Feyre does confront him, he listens. He apologises. He grows.
𧸠Being powerful doesnât make him a threat â how he uses it is what matters. Rhysand has immense magical, political, and personal power. But not once does he use it to force Feyre into anything. Thatâs the point. He could, but he doesnât. Because real love is consent, balance, and agency. Heâs an example of strength that chooses restraint.
đ At the end of the day, Rhysand is a fantasy. Yes, heâs written to be alluring, clever, strong, and just a little bit smug. But above all: heâs written to be safe. The man who waited. The man who saw her breaking and didnât rush to fix her â he knelt, and said: Iâm here if you want me.
Thatâs not toxic. Thatâs emotional literacy in wings and starlight.
[Roberto Crescenzio]
