The Love Talker- Chapter 7

Universe: Gancanagh/ Fae AU Rating: T (currently, expect M in time) Length: 1997 Words

A/N: This is dark fic. If you’ve made it this far you know what I’m talking about. This chapter might give you some answers. It might give you more questions. We’ll see. Thanks for all the positivity so far! I’m having fun writing this as a little bit of a NaNoWriMo project, so hopefully I’ll finish it before the film comes out! We’ll see!

Kristoff’s heart raced in a way it hadn’t in years. He was frantic. She could be dead. She could be lost. He might never see her again.

Just because he didn’t want to addict her didn’t mean he didn’t want to stop seeing her, he just wanted to see her of her own free will, and he certainly didn’t want to never see her again because she’d wandered into the wrong faery’s circle. He’d bargain for her if that happened. He’d lived in the forest his whole life, he had connections, he knew things, but that only mattered if she’d been found by fae who believed in bargaining and not simply murder on sight. God forbid she find another gancanagh.

His kind, solitary and rare as they were, tending to not mind “sharing” their prizes, but he didn’t want that. He didn’t want Anna to be taken against her will, for someone to torture her before killing her or letting her kill herself. The idea drove him mad.

He was almost certain he was the only gancanagh left in the woods, but if he was wrong, he was terrified at the possibility. The forest was full of other solitaries though and they didn’t often take kindly to strangers, and that much more real possibility gave him little comfort. There were a few fae he wouldn’t be worried about finding her, the glastigs in the woods were mostly benign, especially to young women. He may very well find Anna striking up a conversation with one of the goat women, and while it seemed like it would be in character for Anna, his fears outweighed his hopes.

He was distracted from his thoughts by a small strip of white cloth tied to the branch of a nearby tree. He was in the heart of the woods now, not too far from his cabin, where many of the solitaries lived. None of them, however, wore white cotton dresses like the one he knew Anna was wearing. None of them needed to mark where they’d been in the woods because they knew it like the back of their hands.

He opened his mouth to call her name again, but thought better of it now that he was outside the protection of his own space. Calling her name here would give it to others who might use it against her. He feared the possibility of what may have happened if he’d called out her name and it had been heard by a Gan Ceann. One only need know the name of its victim and call it out in their earshot to kill them where they stood.

“Kjekk,” he called, “Følg stemmen min Kjekk.”

There was no answer, but he was undeterred. He would find her come hell or high water. He gave very serious thought to touching her when he found her, binding her to him. He didn’t want her addicted, but he didn’t want her to run off into the woods and be lost to him forever either. It was a dark thought, the idea of binding her to him, the idea of what that allowed him to do, in fact what that meant he needed to do to her to keep her well.

It had been a very long time since he knew the touch of a woman. He’d been young, and he’d not cared about what he’d done. He’d followed his nature because that was what was expected of his kind. Other gancanagh had shared with him. That memory was what disgusted him most. That was what he feared most for Anna, that was why he needed to find her before anyone else, except of course maybe a glastig. He sincerely thought that Anna might enjoy a conversation with one of their kind, and he knew that they liked to talk to maidens in return. It was one of a few best-case scenarios he was trying to focus on as he called out the name she’d given herself again and again in the wood, looking for and finding more bits of fabric as he went.

***

Her skirt was going to be irreparable. The white fabric had already been dirtied by days of wear in the woods, but the tearing of its edge to create a trail certainly wasn’t helping matters. She’d already decided, jokingly of course, that showing up at the cabin naked save her underthings and Kristoff’s coat was much better than not showing up at all.

The fabric scraps were helpful enough in keeping her from walking the same way twice but were no help in ensuring that she wasn’t trekking deeper and deeper into the woods. She decided to take a moment’s break to see if she could perhaps think of another solution to better her odds and decided to braid her hair as she thought. Her hair had been messy and down since her escape from the village, and while it was the least of her concerns at the moment, the act of combing her fingers through her hair and detangling her snarls was one that relaxed her and kept her levelheaded.

She still couldn’t see the sky well enough to use it as any marker of progress, nor could she see anything distinct enough to serve as a landmark from which she might recall her initial passage into the dark wood.

Her fingers worked through her hair skillfully and she managed to put it into some semblance of twin braids as she sat and thought about her situation. Perhaps they were more like cousins than twins, both uniquely messy and tied off with additional bits of ripped skirt, but the small act of straightening herself was a comfort, even if it didn’t bring her any new solutions.

“Kjekk! Følg stemmen min Kjekk.”

She pushed off the tree trunk she had been leaning against and jumped to her feet. Kjekk. He was calling her Kjekk. Only he could know that she had wanted him to call her that. Only he could know that she’d managed to lose herself in the woods.

She was exhausted and a bit embarrassed, but still she called out in return, “Jeg er her min Gancanagh!”

She would not shout his name. She might however whisper it to him with some words of appreciation when he found her. She imagined that he was either going to lecture her about the meaning of the word “stay” or simply kill her on the spot. Neither seemed particularly enjoyable, but she was happy to hear his voice.

***

He heard it and his blood ran cold. It was his own voice, but he hadn’t spoken. He’d said the same thing, but a few minutes before in a different area of the wood. Someone had heard him and it hadn’t been Anna.

“Jeg er her min Gancanagh!”

That was what made his blood run cold. That was Anna’s voice. She was answering his call, but she wasn’t answering him. She was answering something else. She was calling out and leading something in, and while calling for him was foolish enough, plenty dangerous in the grand scheme of things, whatever she was answering clearing likely had intentions worse than his own.

He thought for a moment about what he could do. He could call out her name, her real name, but that would give it to the other creature as well. He knew most of what was in the wood with him, some creatures of the Irish tradition, some of the Norwegian, and almost all able to mimic a voice. He could even mimic if he really cared to, but in this situation it wouldn’t help.

His only hope was to warn her, and then find her first.

“That wasn’t me Kjekk,” he shouted.

He was answered by a cry that he knew was hers. He hadn’t been fast enough.

He ran in the direction of her voice and nearly crashed into her as she emerged from the trees, looking more terrified than he’d yet seen her.

Behind her strolling almost leisurely was a troll, in fact a very familiar troll.

“Hvorfor kaller du henne kjekk? Hun er vakker,” the creature was smiling and was asking him a question that was so deeply familial, Kristoff could only chuckle in response. He should say that he called her handsome because that’s what she’d wanted to be called, and that yes, she was beautiful, but he needed to catch his breath before he could do any such thing.

He could hug Anna in the moment. He could hug the troll walking towards him. He could die happy on the spot because things could have been so much worse, but he didn’t. He placed a hand he hoped was comforting on the small of Anna’s back, a place well covered by her dress and his coat.

He watched as recognition filled Anna’s eyes, “Du snakker norsk?”

The creature nodded, “Vel, jeg er fra Norge. Er du ikke?”

He watched Anna work through translating in her head and she looked up at him with a mixture of relief and puzzlement.

“I… can’t find the words I want… Nei min far var det?”

Kristoff nodded. Her father was from Norway evidently. It didn’t explain so much how she knew things about the laws of the fae hailing from Ireland, but that was a question for another day. A question he was sure she’d find created questions of her own for him. He couldn’t very well ask her why she knew both if he couldn’t ask her the same.

“ Det gjør deg fremdeles til en av oss. Er det derfor du ikke har...?” The troll confirmed that her ancestry was good enough for him, but Kristoff shot the stone creature a look before he finished his question. He didn’t feel like discussing why he hadn’t addicted Anna with the creature that had been, for all intents and purposes, his father.

He was grateful, however for his interference. Having any of the trolls find Anna before something else could, was a blessing he hadn’t even dreamed of. Even if they didn’t know what his relationship was to her, they would surely recognize his coat on her shoulders. They weren’t hostile creatures to begin with, but knowing that she was with him had been enough.

“I’m sorry I screamed,” Anna said. He saw her trying to translate as her brow furrowed. It was harder for her than it was for him. It was her second language clearly.

“It’s okay,” he said, still touching her gently, “he understands English.”

The troll bobbed his large head pleasantly.

“I do! It’s no trouble, you didn’t expect to see me. I’m sorry I frightened you!”

She smiled shyly and Kristoff wished beyond all things that he could press a kiss to her cheek. She’d scared him terribly, and despite the fact that she was safe now, he could still feel her trembling under his hand. To give her some comfort, more than he could give her through layers upon layers of fabric, was something he longed for.

The troll approached her once again, and Anna, making Kristoff love her even more, crouched down to his height to speak with him.

The creature stretched his hand out to her and Anna placed her small palm in it. Delicately, with the patience and gentleness Kristoff remembered him having when he was young, the troll covered her hand with his and gave her a meaningful look.

“My boy there… he’s a bit of a fixer upper, but give him time?”

She looked confused and Kristoff felt himself flush. This was not how he’d expected this to end, but it was also much better than almost any other alternative, so he chose to simply sigh and let it happen.

Anna, still looking a bit confused, nodded, and leaning forward pressed a small kiss to the troll’s cheek. “Thank you for helping me.”

The old troll chuckled, “Åh! Jeg liker henne!”

She’s MINE (I.M x reader requested)

A/N: All words in this story are 100% work of fiction none of it is real. This was a request I hope that you enjoy it and that it was okay. I enjoyed writing it request are still open if you want to request something please don’t be shy. He is so adorkable I can’t lol okay the gif isn’t mine credit to the owner. I am sorry for any grammar or spelling errors.~Zero

Pairing: I.M x reader with mentions of Monsta x, Ikon, and Sechskies

Type: Fluff, and a tiny bit of jealous I.M

Word count:1605 um..Oops (give or take)

Reading time: 15 to 20 minutes it all depends

Y/N P.O.V

Today I was invited by the host of weekly idol and starship to join Monsta X on this week's episode. I am nervous but very excited, I remember what my brother told me about his group’s experience on weekly idol, I just hope that I don’t get hit by Hyeong-don because that just sounds painful.

*Time skip to actual filming*

I guess that Monsta x wasn’t the only group that was invited today, Ikon is also here as well, I guess that is cool I mean I did a collab with Bobby but that was a few years ago before I even got signed to Starship. I met Ikon through my older brother, Ikon was looking for a female backup vocalist for one of their albums, and he put them into contact with me, however, after the collab we didn’t really keep in contact because we were both too busy working on our own things.

We are now ready to start filming Ikon was introduced first and they have been talking with the host for a while now. Ikon doesn’t know that we are here but Hyeong-don and Defconn are introducing us now.

“Jinhwan I hate to interrupt you but I was just informed that our other guests are here so now the real fun and games are about to start please welcome Monsta X.” After Monsta X did their introduction I get introduced to the show.

“Alright we have one more special guest, please introduce the wonderful, talented, rapper Y/N to the show.” I walk out into the camera’s view when my new song plays as I walk out. I first encountered Defconn and shook his hand then followed Hyeong-don’s hand I am instructed to set in one of the open seats. There is an open seat by Bobby and there is one next to my boyfriend that public doesn’t know about I.M. Me being how I am I take the seat next I.M, once I am seated I feel all eyes on me.

“Okay Y/N, we are going to be doing something a little different, what we are doing is we are going to let the other Idols here in the room ask you questions and you are going to answer then once this is over then we are going to more activities that I’m sure you brother told you about, Now does anyone have any questions?” Defconn asks.

As soon as he was finished talking Chanwoo raised his hand, “Yes, Chanwoo what is your question?” I asked looking at him.

“Um, I don’t want to seem rude so what year you born so I can greet you accordingly?”

“ I was born in 1997,” I reply slightly nodding.

Then next question is asked by Junhoe “Defconn said something about you having an older brother do we by any chance know him?”

“Yes you guys do, you are in the same company and my brother is Kang Sung-hoon of Sechskies,” I reply making eye contact with the slightly older male.

“Really?!!?” This seems to shock the other band.

“That must be where her good looks come from,” Yunhyeong states smiling at me. I feel Changkyun tense at this, slightly looking over I give him a reassuring smile.

Brushing off his comment I wait for the next question, to my dismay, it came from Yunhyeong

“Y/N did your dating ban get lifted and if so are there any lucky bachelors in mind that you can tell us about,” he asks giving me heart eyes. Slightly unconformable I shift and look at Changkyun in the corner of my eye and to say that he looked livid was an understatement.

“Um, yes my dating ban did get lifted recently and there is this one rapper but I can’t tell who,” I say looking up at I.M slightly before looking at Yunhyeong to see if he got the message.

Questions went by smoothly and now it is the 2x dance challenge and because Hyungwon got hurt and can’t participate the host asked me to instead. Nodding I look at Hyungwon when I am about to ask for his jacket because the dance is for beautiful before I could even get the words out I get Changkyun gently placing his jacket in my arms with him sending me a wink he puts on Hyungwon’s jacket. I slip on his jacket and I am instantly engulfed in his all too familiar scent.

The song is about to start so I get into Hyungwon’s spot and let’s just say I am glad that I decided to wear pants instead of a skirt today, this shouldn't be too hard because I have watched and participated in the choreography with them before in the dance studio. By the end I think that Ikon was blown away, some even said that I could be apart of Monsta X, I took that as a huge compliment.

After Ikon’s turn of doing the 2x dance challenge, it was time for the random dance play. This time is going to be a little different they are going to play a song and we all are going to be seated and if we know the choreography then we are going to go up and dance to the song to the best of our abilities.

Sitting down I wait for the first song to play through the speakers. When the first song comes on I realize that it is 아주 NICE by Seventeen when the chorus starts I look at the boys and run out starting to dance I soon realize I am not alone and that B.I is out here as well. When I just start to get into the song it changed pausing I hear Twice’s ‘Like Ohh ahh’ play instead, quickly getting into the position I see Jooheon run out here with me and we continue. B.I wasn’t ready for the change so he was asked to set back down.

By the end of the challenge it was Changkyun, Wonho and I still up. “Okay we are going to do a tie breaker it is going to be a random song and the first one to get the moves right with the beat wins.”

“Loser’s buy dinner.” Wonho states

“Deal!!” Changkyun and I exclaim.

Changkyun, Wonho and I quickly bow to each other to show good sportsmanship. When we raise we stand side by side and wait for the song to start. When the song starts I am very surprised none of the less to hear “HERE WE COME IT”S SECHSKIES.” I laugh out loud at the dance I know all too well I start dancing and singing Chivalry (the 2016 re-album) looks like I am not buying dinner tonight. When I look over I see I.M trying to keep up and Wonho looks so lost already.

Once it is over it is time for the host to determine the winner. “Okay so it looks like the only one who really knew the dance was Y/N so there for Kang Y/N is the winner!!”

With this new information, I get really excited. “Y/N I am so shocked, how did you know the song so well?”

“Oh, Um it is a thing that Sunghoon and I always did together, whenever there was a new song that the guys were working on they would invite me to their practices and teach me, that is actually how I learn to sing by Sunghoon working with me one on one whenever we had time. As for my rapping skills, I got those from Jaeduck, Jaejin, and Jiwon when I asked them to teach me how to rap.” I reply getting shy.

“Alright, there you have it, This was another successful episode of weekly idol with Ikon, Monsta X, and the lovely Y/N. Good bye everyone.” Once the camera got cut off we said our thanks to the host as I was about to walk off set I am stopped by none other than Yunhyeong I guess he still didn’t get the message.

“Hey, Y/n you did a really good job out there today, I was wondering if you wanted to go out on a date with me sometime?” He asked with a hopeful glint in his eyes.

Slightly sighing I look around for anyone in Monsta X when all of a sudden I feel a heavy arm on my shoulder. “Sorry Yunhyeong but I guess you didn’t get the message earlier, she’s not into you, she already has a love interest and that happens to be me so with all due respect please go and find your own girl, it’s rude to ask out taken woman. “ I.M says with a smirk in his voice looking down at me he quickly adds “Come on princess I believe I owe you dinner for losing the dance battle.” With nothing else to say we turn around and walk off.

“Did you really have to say all that?” I ask hugging I.M side tighter

“Of course I did, that guy was staring at you like you were a piece of meat the whole time we were filming that is also why I gave you my jacket.” He states proudly.

Looking down I realize that I still have on his jacket. “ Do you want your jacket back babe?” I ask looking up at him.

“No, keep it to show everyone that you are mine, and plus you look better in my clothes anyway princess.”

“I love you Changkyun,” I say as I lean up and kiss his cheek.

“I love you too babe, so much you don’t even know.”
