Whispers in the Wind
Azriel x Reader
Summary: The Split-Fic is here!! @writingsbychlo and I are so excited for this! Featuring Tamlin's sister!reader as she navigates life after losing her family.
Warnings: Angst
Word Count: 823
_________________________________________
The vast gardens surrounding the Willow manor are always beautiful in the peak of summer. Vibrant lilacs and blush flowers bloom far and wide not only across the Spring Court but live perfectly contained in the lavish garden of your brother’s estate; preened and watered daily by the house staff.
Just like you.
You sigh, pushing away from the bench by your window. Your linen skirts whisper against the floor as you stride across your room, flinging yourself onto your bed. It feels much too big for only yourself, but yet you were all you had, with your brothers and parents gone, save for Tamlin. Your heart yearns in your chest—to bask beneath the summer sun that reminds you so much of them, Neo and Wells chasing you around with teasing grins and flowers for your hair.
You miss them, even if they did fight a lot, both in training and out. Neo was the oldest of the four of you, fiercely protective and you thought him more intelligent than even the Surial sometimes. And Wells was a master of the sword, always willing and more than ready to answer with his fists. Both of your brothers showed exemplary traits that could crown them High Lord of Spring someday, but now…
Tamlin hadn’t ever wanted that life. He wanted to travel and said that he’d show you the white sands of Summer or the Mountains of Night someday because you weren’t allowed to tag along with your father while on official business. No, that was a male’s journey, one for only your brothers.
And now he’s the High Lord, because Neo and Wells are gone, killed in the night by the hand of Night itself, Rafe.
He and his son Rhysand had moved as the shadows within the manor, silent killers that made straight for your family in the dead of night. You had hardly heard more than your mother’s plea before she was silenced, and you burst from your bed chambers only to find Tamlin kneeling in a pool of Rafe’s blood, eyes hopeless as his body thrummed with newfound power.
You don’t feel like eating, hadn’t felt much of anything in the months the rest of your family had been killed. It had been a relief to your remaining brother that you hadn’t been murdered, and he’d left the next night with such a fiery vengeance that he’d nearly set fire to the wisps of long grass in the fields behind the manor.
It has been days since he’s been gone.
The sun dips low behind the rolling hills as night approaches, smothering the light like a snuffed-out flame. It’s both utterly intriguing and disturbing now that you know what it’s capable of.
Tamlin had said you’d be fine when you begged him to allow you to join on his travels. Bron and Hart were here to protect you and would lay down their lives for you if you asked.
As the stars awaken, you shiver, your stomach curling in betrayal. They call to you, just as the shadows do, just as the moon does. She cries silver tears into your favorite spot in the Spring Court, aptly named Moonlight Lake.
You shouldn’t go, shouldn’t wander through the fields like that. Nasty creatures still roam the night, you’ve heard the wolves howling at the full moon high in the sky, and the whispers of creatures that scared the deer into hiding.
Yet you can’t seem to stay away. Your fingers twitch against the soft sheets and it’s hard to keep yourself from getting up and following the moon. You squeeze your eyes shut, taking a steadying breath. Maybe Bron will play the pianoforte to distract you or perhaps Hart will teach you that card game that he loses every week.
Sneaking out of the Willow manor is as easy as it was when you were fourteen and Wells had shown you how. Bron and Hart won’t bother you, of that you know. A mourning daughter of Spring that shan't be bothered, Tamlin instructed.
The grass is cool beneath your bare feet and you follow the brightest star in the sky though you don’t need to. You know the way by heart.
Silver glows, the lake beckoning you with each step. Its mercury waters are dazzling, a mirror that reflects the night sky it wishes to return to.
A voice across the clearing stops you just before you’re about to dip a toe into the star-filled waters.
Squinting, you can’t make out the figure more than a silhouette of darkness. Your breath catches in your throat and your heart pounds loudly in your chest. He stands directly across from you, the lake the only thing separating him from you, and you can easily tell how tall he is.
His voice is a caress of darkness itself, sliding down your spine like a drop of moonlight escaping into the pool below.
“Hello, petal.”

@leafsandstarlight
forced revelations - fluff - "While on a mission with Azriel, reader is tricked by a creature into revealing that her feelings for the Shadowsinger go beyond mere friendship."

@acourtofmenandthirst
love you in the dark - angst (really heavy on the angst)
@azrielhours
soft spot - smut, fluff - "Azriel is very particular about his lovers; typically hard-hearted women chosen so they don’t develop an emotional attachment.

This causes Az to begin breaking his rules about intimacy, especially when she unwittingly ends up at his home for work one evening and spends the night."

@serpentandlily
no going back- angst - "Azriel has been your mate, your husband, your love for centuries. But a certain Archeron sister has him questioning your relationship after all this time. You soon find out that there are simply things that can not be unsaid or undone. And sometimes, there are things you can’t come back from."

Series:
@tadpolesonalgae

the dregs of tragedy - mer!az
eat you up - smut, dark!az - please check the warnings at the beginning! if you're ever in a mood for dark!az this is the perfect remedy (stockholm syndrome is a sort of epilogue? for this)
teeth and talons - smut, demon!az - "you’re accused of witchcraft and sacrificed to the shadow creatures, only to be saved by their ruler who’s suspiciously in sudden need of a bride…"
@azsazz
cupid's chokehold - fluff, angst - this is such an interesting concept - "You are a Cupid, a nearly extinct creature of Prythian. When you get caught trying to shoot Elain with your arrow, well, it's a little hard to explain what you're trying to do."
@leafsandstarlight
inadvertently yours - fluff, angst, smut, fake relationship and arranged marriage are classics for a reason - "As Eris Vanserra’s most trusted spy, you‘ve found yourself spending a surprising amount of time with the Night Court’s Spymaster. When your rendezvous with Azriel is discovered by High Lord Beron, the only way to protect the alliance is to pretend that you and Azriel are madly in love."

His girl
Pairing: Cassian x female reader
Summary: Cassian finally makes a move on Y/N.
Warnings: reader being insecure about herself, slight mention of body shaming.
Words: 2.4k
A/N: This was written for @starfallweek hosted by @azsazz and @writingsbychlo. Am I entirely happy with it? No. Do I want to be part of this amazing event anyway? Yes.
378 years 4 months and 19 days. That’s how long Cassian had been in love with her. Ever since that day, when Rhysand came back from a visit at the Hewn City with her in his arms, saying that she would stay with them from now on. Her family had seen a potential threat in her, because of the powers she showed. Someone who disturbed the stability of their ridiculous culture. But it was the fact that nobody wanted to marry her that had made her father scream at her, blaming her for the blindness of any potential husband.
Cassian still didn’t understand how anybody could say no to her. Her face wasn’t pretty enough they had said. Her body not tender enough, her teeth not straight enough. As if she was a mare, ready for breeding. Nonsense. He had been captivated by her beauty since the moment he met her and if somebody would have asked him he would have married her right away.
Now he was standing at the bar in the House of Wind, to grab some drinks for himself and his friends and all he could think about was her. He wondered why she still wasn’t here yet. She loved Starfall and she wouldn’t miss it by any chance but maybe something had happened? Should he go check on her? No, she surely had a date anyway who would accompany her. They were probably enjoying some alone time right now before they would eventually show up. Cassian desperately tried not to imagine her kissing somebody else, their hands gliding down that beautiful body, whispering sweet nothings into her ear…
“You know, if you grab that glass any tighter it’ll break.” Cassian jumped at the voice of the shadowsinger behind him.
“Cauldron Az, could you stop sneaking up on me like that?” He turned around to the sight of an amused looking Illyrian.
“Oh believe me, I wasn’t sneaking. You were just so deep in your thoughts that you wouldn’t have realised if a whole army stood behind you.”
“Haha, very funny. What do you even want?” He hated to be moody towards one of his eldest friends, but the picture of the girl he loved in the hands of someone else was still to present in his head.
Azriel didn’t seem to be bothered by it. “Figured you’d need some help carrying five glasses. Though I guess Rhys and Feyre won’t drink something any time soon. They just left. Together.”
The prospect of his brother finally making a move on his mate filled Cassian with excitement. “So you think it’s gonna happen? Rhysie is gonna get his girl?”
Azriel only shrugged his shoulders. For any other person it would have seemed like he didn’t care about Rhysands love life but Cassian knew exactly that the shadowsinger was just as invested in it as him. “The odds are good. But if I were you I wouldn’t be worrying about him but myself. So, are you finally gonna make a move on her tonight?”
The fact that Azriel didn’t even use her name was indicator enough that everyone knew about the Generals hopeless feelings towards her. “Oh common Az, you know she isn’t interested in me that way. I mean we are friends! For almost four centuries we’ve been friends!”
“Really?” A smirk was creeping up on Azriels face as if he knew something Cassian didn’t know.
Frustration streamed through him, he had to put down the drink and hold on to the counter, fearing he might throw the glass at the next wall. “Yes! And it doesn’t matter anyway, because she definitely has a date for tonight.”
“Does she now? Well turn around.” As Cassian did he set his eyes on the most breathtaking creature he had ever seen.
Y/N walked into the room, in a dress that shimmered like the moon itself. It was hugging her beautiful curves, then flowed to the ground from right beneath her hips, getting wider the lower it got. Oh, what he would have given to be the one to help her out of this dress later on. Her hair was pinned up, leaving her long neck on display. Cassian wanted to mark every inch of it with his tongue and teeth, until all the males in Prythian knew that she belonged with him.
His heartbeat rose up at the sight of her. She looked like a freaking goddess, drawing all the attention on her. It seemed like everyone wanted to know who the beautiful girl was. Did she even realise how they were staring at her? Women, who looked like they either wanted to kill her, or be her? Men longing after her, just like he did right now?
If she had noticed the attention lying on her she ignored it, for she strode threw the crowd, chin up, her eyes scanning the room as if she was looking for someone.
But the prettiest sight, even though he hated himself for it, was the fact that there was no other man on her arm. “She is alone!”
Cassian had whispered the words to himself, still in trance from the sight of her. He had not realised that the shadowsinger still stood behind him.“Yep, she is. And I can tell you the exact two reasons why.”
The General couldn’t tear his eyes from her. He feared she would disappear if he did, as if she was only an illusion. Thankfully Azriel seemed to understand as he spoke on without a request. “You do realise that you are literally growling at every male that comes near her? It’s like you are her personal guard dog who is following her around everywhere.”
Now the frustration crept back into Cassian and he broke his stare, trying to ignore the physical pain he felt in his chest while doing so. “Wait, you are making it sound like it’s my fault! Oh great, so she is probably pissed at me too.”
Azriel wore that annoying smirk again, Cassian could have punched him in the face for it. He decided to look at her again instead. “Well, she should be pissed if she really wanted to have somebody else as her date. Yet, she isn’t. Which leads me to reason number two.”
“Oh yeah, and what would that be?”
“The fact that she is so absolutely disinterested in any of those guys that they can see it on her face. She might speak to them and smile at them, but her eyes only ever light up when she looks at you.” As if on clue Y/N’s eyes met Cassian’s and rested there. She was gifting him a radiant smile and her eyes…they glittered as if they held a thousand stars in them. It was that moment he realised that she had been searching the room for him. And that the man who was now laying a scarred hand on his shoulder had been right.
“Please, do us all a favour and go get your girl, brother.” With that Azriel grabbed the drinks for him and Mor and silently made his way back to where their friend was located.
Cassian started to move. He needed to get to her as soon as possible. She was like a magnetic force pulling him to her and it seemed like she might have felt the same as she took her steps in his direction. They never broke eye contact on their sheer never ending way to each other. When they finally met each other in the middle of the room he was so overwhelmed by her presence that he couldn’t say anything but a whispered “Hi”.
She grinned up at him, got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. “Hi”
Cassian could literally feel the blush threatening to reveal him. He decided to distract her from it. “Didn’t you want to bring someone with you?”
“No, nobody asked me to be honest. But I guess I should have considered that. It’s probably just me…I mean it’s always been that way, right?” Cassian knew that look on her face. He had seen it multiple times, whenever Y/N started to feel low about herself, started to believe those ugly words these men had spoken to her a lifetime ago.
It wasn’t his intention, to make her feel like this on maybe the most important day in her years schedule.
His brain tried to find a solution for the mess he navigated himself into. He wanted to cheer her up, to spend a fairytale like evening with her before he would confess everything he kept secret from her ever since the both of them met.
But his silly little heart acted faster than he could think about something. “I’m asking you!”
“What?” Now it was her turn to blush.
There was no going back now. There would be no perfect timing and no privacy. He would tell her right here, right now, with maybe a hundred people gathering around them, in the middle of the ballroom. And if all of Velaris would call him a lovesick fool by tomorrow so be it. He didn’t give a damn about it. “I’m asking you to be my date!”
There was utter disbelief in her eyes and something that looked like worry. “Cassian, are you drunk or something?”
“Yes I am sweetheart. Drunk on you. But if you mean drunk in the traditional way then no, I’m not.”
“Cassie…” Her bashful gaze dropped to the ground. There was a strain in her voice that almost sounded like sadness, because she was afraid. Afraid that the man in front of her was only playing with her, not meaning anything he said right now.
Another small gesture Cassian recognised about her. It felt like she was a mysterious book, written in a language only he could decipher.
He used his fingers to lift up her chin, desperate for her to see the truth in his eyes.
“I should have asked you that earlier I know that. I wanted to ask you but I was so scared that you would say no and that I would risk whatever we have between us. But tonight I’ve realised what an idiot I’ve been who misinterpreted everything, or at least I hope so because otherwise this could end badly. Well, even if it does I want to say it because you deserve to know how I feel about you and I want you to see what an amazing person you are.”
Cassian had rambled his words so fast, his lungs forced him to take a breath before his crucial statement. “I love you Y/N…So will you give me the honour and make me the happiest man alive by being mine? For Starfall and for eternity?”
Her eyes went wide in surprise, her mouth agape. She looked at him as if he came from another world, as if she had never seen him before. Cassian could almost see her brain trying to realise what he had just said.
He wasn’t sure how long they stood like this, but her silence was killing him. This moment, where he could do nothing but wait for her response that didn’t seem to come. Facing that thing under the library again appeared less stressful than the uncertainty he currently found himself in. “Sweetheart? Not that I want to sound rude, but I think this is the part where you should say something.“
The disbelief in her eyes turned into mischief and before Cassian could register it she was wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him down and kissing him.
He had expected a lot of things. Tears, because he had ruined their friendship. Or that she would burst out into anger, maybe throwing a shoe at his head like Feyre did to Rhysand. That she would never want to see him again. Yet she was kissing him, in front of everyone else. As if she had planned to do it for the longest time. Just like he did.
Kissing her was like everything he expected it to be and more. A thousand butterflies erupted in his stomach, travelling through his body to kiss every part that was him awake. Her fingers tangled in his hair and he moaned into the kiss at the feeling of it. There was a soft voice in his head, singing over and over again. Mine, mine, mine.
The Illyrian already missed her lips when she pulled away, chasing after them to feel the softness again, to taste their sweetness. Cauldron, he was obsessed with her by only one kiss. In that moment she could have told him to jump from the balcony with his wings bound together, like once during the blood rite, he would have done it.
She started to leave soft kisses on his neck, travelling up to his ear, and if the act itself didn’t drive him crazy than her hummed word definitely did. “Yes!”
Cassian couldn’t help but growl at her answer and in the next second he lifted her up and spun her around, enjoying the beautiful sound that was her laughter.
When the music started to play he put her back on her feet. Her hair was now slightly out of place, face a little bit red, but for Cassian she was still stunning. He wanted to take her to his room, to show her just how gorgeous she was in his opinion, but this would have to wait. For this was Starfall and he wanted to spend it with her. So he performed a slight bow in front of her, taking her hand in his to put a light kiss on her knuckles. „Would you like to dance with me, my lady?“
He could have sworn her giggles lit up the whole ball room before she answered him. „I would love to dance with you, General. Until the sun creeps up behind the mountains again.“
And so they did. They were dancing the whole night, never breaking eye contact and only stopped to watch the magnificent sight of the souls travelling along the sky. Later, when the thoughtful celebration had turned into a party, they could be seen dancing with their friends, sharing their luck with them.
The whispers that could be heard throughout Velaris the next day were positive ones, stating what a beautiful couple the both of them made. Although some claimed to have seen the General tackling their High Lord to the ground when he returned with the cursebreaker, laughing and screaming while doing so. “Rhysie! I have a girlfriend now!”

Misunderstandings - (Cassian x Reader)
Hiiii! A little piece for @writingsbychlo and @azsazz brilliant idea of Starfall Week!
The prompt I used was: Character A has been waiting alone for an hour and Character B is nowhere to be seen.
This was fun to write! I hope you like it, and Happy Starfall Week!
Word count: 1968
Warnings: None.
✧: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･
He wasn’t coming.
Cassian clearly wasn’t coming, and you felt fucking stupid.
I’ll meet you by the clock tower at eleven, was what he’d said. Eleven had come and gone, the chimes booming above your head. The Starfall celebrations had promptly swept through Velaris, and you — here you were stood, waiting for someone who you should have known would never give you the time of day.
You knew Cassian to be swaggering and cocky and teasing; the Mother knew, you’d seen that side to him more than any other since he’d come into your family’s store and asked why he’d never seen you before. His visits had become more frequent over the last month and a half, and when he’d asked you to meet him on Starfall, your stomach had flipped and sang like the damn skies above you currently were.
But perhaps it was all a cruel joke. Perhaps Cassian had never been interested in you at all. You hadn’t met his Inner Circle, but you knew how greatly they celebrated the holiday. Of course he wouldn’t want to meet you on Starfall.
Your arms chilled by the air, you felt like nothing but a fool as you descended the stone steps of the clock tower and began your walk back to your home. You’d bought this dress especially for tonight, a pretty cream number that you thought made you look delicate and soft. You certainly didn’t feel delicate and soft as you tore your heels from your feet and carried them as you walked, bare soles slapping the pavement.
You were almost back at your little cottage when you caught the sound you’d so eagerly awaited earlier — the thunderous boom of wings above you. You didn’t even bother looking up at the sky, knowing that whichever of the Illyrian males it was would be by your side before you had a chance to clock them. Perhaps Cassian had been a true fucking coward and sent Rhysand or Azriel to let you down gently on his behalf. Gods, you hoped not. You weren’t sure you could deal with the humiliation. You turned into your street—
And stumbled to a stop to avoid barrelling into the figure that swooped down, landing in front of you.
Cassian grinned. Grinned, and shook the wind from his hair. “That was close.”
You stared at him, your lips not even slightly twitching into a smile. Your face was entirely deadpan as you took in the clothes he’d swapped his usual Illyrian leathers for — the fitted burgundy shirt and dark breeches. His hair was left down about his face, and he looked…playful. Damn handsome, but playful.
Too bad you felt anything but playful in that moment.
Cassian’s eyes swept over you, then, and his grin softened into something different. You’d be forgiven for thinking it was a little coy, flustered. “You look stunning.”
“Thank you.” Your response was clipped. You stepped past him, beginning your walk once more.
“Uh…” Footsteps approached you from behind, and he was darting into your path again. “Where are you going?”
“Home.”
“We agreed to meet.”
Finally, you stopped. Finally, you allowed your eyes to meet his hazel ones. A look of pure confusion shadowed his face.
“We agreed to meet almost an hour ago, Cassian.” You said. “I got cold and tired of waiting.”
“Hey, I’m sorry I was late.” He stepped towards you, his brow furrowing. “I was just…sorting something out. Time ran away with me.”
“Sorting something out.”
He nodded.
You shrugged. “What were you sorting out?”
“…I can’t tell you—”
You cut him off with a sigh, stepping past him again. You weren’t doing this — couldn’t do this. He could return to his friends and laugh at your expense if he wanted, but you were going home.
“Hey, wait.” He grabbed your hand. “Y/N, will you stop?”
“No, Cassian, you stop. I’m not playing your little games. You can find some other female to do that. I know it doesn’t make any fucking sense for you to like me, but I genuinely like you, so kindly leave my feelings alone.”
Your impassioned speech had utterly silenced him. He blinked at you, realisation seeming to wipe the confusion from his face. He studied you once more, frowning.
“Is that what you think?” He asked. “That I’m pretending to like you as some sort of joke?”
You shrugged, lifting your chin. Refusing to flush with humiliation. “You may have only noticed my existence in the last month or so, Cassian, but I’ve seen you around Velaris for years. You have a type — I am the furthest thing from that type. And I am perfectly comfortable with my soft stomach and thick thighs and all the other things I’m expected not to like about myself. That doesn’t mean I’m going to allow those things to be the butt of the joke for the High Lord’s general.”
You pushed past him again, but he was having none of it. He yanked you back to him, both gentle and firm. “You are way out of line, Y/N. You couldn’t be more wrong.”
“I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with males like you, Cassian—”
“Males like me?” He stared down at you. “Bastard-born brutes? A nobody with the title of Warlord slapped above his head? Don’t make assumptions about me, sweetheart, because you couldn’t be more wrong.”
You held his gaze, searching the sincerity in his eyes. Perhaps you were being unfair — perhaps you had jumped the gun a bit. You just…you’d been taken for a fool too many times. And you liked Cassian so much that you didn’t think you could take it from him.
You lowered your gaze, glancing down at your feet, but his warm, callused hand was gently gripping your face and forcing your eyes back to his.
“Don’t group me in with those assholes that have treated you that way. Please. I’m not them.” His voice was far softer, gentle. “I like everything about you. Especially your soft stomach and thick thighs. I like you so fucking much, and that is why I asked you to meet me tonight. Because Starfall is special to me, and I think—I think you might be, too.”
Guilt sliced at you as you stared up at him. You definitely should have listened to him before making assumptions. You relaxed your body, showed him that you were open.
“I’m sorry I was late.” He said again. “I said I couldn’t tell you why because I didn’t want to spoil the surprise. I wanted to show you. If you’ll let me.”
You sighed softly. “Of course I’ll let you. I’m sorry, Cass—”
“Don’t worry about that. Just…do you trust me?”
Yes, you realised, you did. You nodded.
He smiled, lacing your fingers together. “Just a quick flight, and you’ll see why I was late.”
He was already lifting you up into his arms. You blinked, glancing up at the sky. “Is this safe? With all those stars zipping about?”
Cass smirked down at you. “It is — so long as you don’t fly too high. It’s a damn beautiful sight, too.”
Before you had a chance to consider, he was holding you tight to him and launching into the air, your scream swallowed by the wind. Your nails dug into him as you buried into his chest, vaguely aware of the whooshing above you — the sound of passing stars.
“I didn’t know you were afraid of heights.”
“Yes, well, some of us are used to being on the ground.” You cracked an eye open, daring a look. “And stop smirking.”
“You’re not even looking at me.”
“I can tell.”
A great, booming laugh left him as he swooped and glided with expert ease. You couldn’t bring yourself to drink in more than a few glimpses at the iridescent trails of light that exploded around you. You clung tight to Cassian’s firm body, burying into his shoulder.
“I’m going to land now.” He warned you. “Just a heads-up.”
You felt your stomach flip as he banked hard, the sensation of falling making you want to scream right into his ear. But it was over within seconds, Cassian executing a flawless landing that you barely felt as his feet planted on the ground.
You didn’t let go. Didn’t look up.
“…we’re back on solid ground, Y/N.” He squeezed you. “You can let go. Not that I’m complaining.”
“I’m not sure I can.”
A soft laugh was breathed against your hair, and you felt him peeling your hands from his body and setting you down on the ground. You swayed, feeling your legs wobble. Cassian was clearly trying not to laugh as he steadied you.
You scowled. “Sorry that we’re not all overgrown bats accustomed to flying.”
“I’m sorry.” He grinned. “You just look so wide-eyed and bewildered. Like a little squirrel, or something.”
“Just show me where you’ve taken me, bat-boy.”
Within seconds, it was as though all the swaggering cockiness had leached from his body. He seemed to steel himself with a calming breath, and then he was stepping aside, exposing you to the view before you.
“This is why I was late.” He said quietly, grabbing your hand.
You sucked in a gasp. Words completely failed you as you drank in the sight of the private hilltop viewpoint he’d created for the two of you. Faelights flickered and glowed around piles of blankets and cushions, and there was food — far more food than was necessary for two people. Plates and plates of fruits and cheeses and meats and desserts. And bottles of juices and wines, with two chalices set beside them.
Your lips parted, you angled yourself towards Cassian. “I…you did all this?”
He swallowed nervously, nodding and rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. “Do you like it?”
“Cass, I—this is amazing.”
You went to take a step forward, but he stopped you, gently tugging you back by your hand. He turned you to face him, and your eyes met, him staring down at you and you up at him. His thumb brushed the back of your palm in gentle sweeps as he swallowed again.
“I…really like you, Y/N.” He said quietly, a soft pink hue touching his cheeks. “Since the day I walked into your family’s store, I haven’t stopped thinking about you. That was why I wanted to do this — to show you that you’re special to me.”
Your mouth went dry. And all you’d done was jump to conclusions and accused him of being an asshole. With a frown, you stepped closer, snaking your arms around his waist. He immediately folded you into him, pressing his chin atop of your head.
“I’m sorry, Cass.” You murmured, tilting your head back to look up at him. “Really — I am. Thank you. This is…nobody has ever done anything like this for me before.”
“Well.” He smiled softly. “I’m honoured to be the first. Maybe I’ll be the only one.”
You truly hoped so. Nothing but pure, unadulterated love shot through you as you pushed up onto the tips of your toes and kissed him. You loved him. You fucking loved Cassian.
He kissed you back for a moment, cupping your cheek. And then he gently peeled his lips from yours, smiling. “Want to eat while watching the stars?”
You nodded vigorously, taking his hand in yours. “Anything with you.”
As he led you over to the blankets and cushions, you heard the distant boom of the Velaris clock tower chiming twelve, and the burst of stars colliding above you.
Cassian sat, pulling you onto his lap, and stardust rained down on you as you ate and talked and laughed.
The most memorable Starfall you’d ever had. One of many to come, you hoped.

My Favourite Star
prompt: Day 3: Character A meets Character B on Starfall
ship: Azriel x Reader
headcanons, bullet form
just fluff
for @starfallweek; thank you so much @writingsbychlo & @azsazz for hosting this💙
it is once again Starfall and Azriel is in the midst of his family
Feyre, Mor and Rhys are occupied with baby Nyx, the little boy happily giggling while his father bounces him on his lap
Cassian, Nesta, Mor, Gwyn and Emerie are dancing
and Az…he feels alone
so he leaves, he just cannot stand it anymore, the happiness, the celebrating
he decides to simply drink his pain about being alone on Starfall once again away, so he flies down to the bustling city of Velaris
due to Starfall it is not that brightly lit, only the light from the restaurants and little shops is visible
Azriel strolls through the streets for a moment, lost in his thoughts
he turns around one corner, heading for the not so crowded allies where he opts for a little bar
Azriel enters, orders a drink and sits down in the corner of the room
he sits there for a long time, staring into his drink, or looking at the people around him
soft music is playing around him, light and feel-good music
he tries to ignore it, anyways to occupied with his thoughts
why is he still alone? everyone now has a partner except for him…why does it have to be like that?
why has the cauldron not planned anyone for him?
so lost in his thoughts Azriel does not notice that a presence has neared him
now standing close, you reach out your hand, offering it to the male who finally lifts his gaze to yours
he looks flabbergasted, almost caught in stupor
Azriel’s lips part, his beautiful hazel eyes going wide and he stares
and he does that for a long moment, not being able to comprehend how beautiful you are
You grin. “will you dance with me?”
and Azriel is truly gone, lost in your beauty and…what was your question?
the shadowsinger parts his lips, stumbling over his own words until he brings out a “what?”
“Dance with me!”
Azriel simply accepts your offered hand, neglecting that he normally does not reveal his scarred hands like that and lets you pull him up
smiling you lead him onto the little dancefloor close to the bar
“thought I‘d ask you. you seemed sad.”
Azriel smiles and it is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen in your life, it could light up the darkest place of the Night Court
he has been a stunning male before —sitting alone in the corner, lost in his drink—, but now that he is smiling…gods have mercy on you
you perfectly fall in place without conversation being needed, his hand moving to your hip, his other holding yours while you place your one hand on his solid chest, the muscles you can even feel through the fabric of his shirt
just like you have always done so you sway over the dancefloor, getting lost in the music, the feel of the other, the other’s presence, the little small talk you are having, the other’s scent
his name is Azriel, you find out and tell him yours, Y/N
you don’t know for how long you have been swaying but at one point you tell him that you would like to see the passing starts, asking him if you could go up to the rooftop
you have a key, the bar is ground-floor of your apartment building
so you lead him upstairs, outside onto the rooftop, the star spirits already passing above your head
you decide to sit down, his hand never leaving yours
you move closer to Azriel, leaning against his shoulder, his gaze trained on your
“beautiful.”
“talking about yourself?”
you give him a little shove to which the shadowsinger chuckles lowly
his wings are draped behind you on the floor and you marvel at how large they are, how soft and leathery they look
your gaze leaves the night sky and you look at Azriel
“why are you all alone tonight?”
“I am not really alone. just did not feel like staying with my family.”
“why?”
“it made me feel lonely.”
you understand that feeling so well — feeling lonely in a room full of people
you are so happy you have met him, he already makes your whole night and you have only spent a bit over an hour together
Azriel shifts closer, his scent and warmth enveloping you
“why are you?”
“same reason.” your voice is a breathy whisper, a shudder coursing through you
“I am glad I met you, Azriel.”
“I am more than happy to have met you tonight, Y/N!”
you still hold his hand, fingers trailing over the scars
you wouldn’t ask him about them now, and since you are hoping for seeing him more often in the future you decide to ask him another day
Azriel cocks his head a little, brushing yours
“how are you feeing?”
his raspy voice sends a shiver down your spine and you feel your toes curling
your tilt your head and look into his eyes
“good actually, you?”
“amazing.”
and then Starfall truly starts — many more spirits dash over your heads until–
Azriel yelps a little heaving been hit into the face
you turn to him and immediately start laughing
but right then something bright and glowing heads directly into your direction, before you can duck it slams right into your face, it is sparkly and tinkles
you giggle loudly and stare at Azriel
his eyes are filled with love and admiration, you truly are the most beautiful female he has ever seen
another sparkly little ball heads for the two of you, brushing the side of your face and exploding right in the middle of Azriel’s
he shrieks for a moment but then roars a laugh, you joining in soon after
he looks stunning, the always so dark shadowsinger, fully aglow and sparkly
you lean closer and part your lips
“would you like to kiss?”
Azriel’s answer is to place his sparkly lips on yours, the twinkly colours on your faces smudging when Azriel eases your lips apart with his tongue, guiding you to move onto his lap where you fall into a lazy but sweet session of making our and devouring the other
it stays with kissing —making out
but you stay on his lap, your head resting on his shoulder while you both watch the traveling spirits
Azriel’s hand brushes over your back and soothing circles
you kiss his neck from time to time, humming softly while you enjoy the others company
“you are my favourite little star tonight.”
Azriel’s chest rumbles a little and you giggle into the crook of his neck, his scent marvelous
“stunning, breathtaking and wonderful.”
~~~~~~~~
I could simply not ditch this event and had to write at least one story for it💙

Remnants of a star
Cassian x reader
Summary: Despite the many years since the loss of your mate, hiding your feelings on the anniversary of their death is impossible while you try celebrate Starfall with your new love, Cassian.
Surprise surprise, it’s more angst from me! Loved writing this for @starfallweek 🌟
A huge shout out to @writingsbychlo @azsazz for pulling such a magical event together – thank you for bringing Starfall to Tumblr!! ❤️❤️❤️
Words: 1,520
--------
“Sweetheart, you’re crying.”
“Am I?” Bringing shaky fingers to your cheeks, you felt the wet tracks they left behind. Cassian nodded with tight lips, pulling your hand gently from your face an encompassing it with his own.
Forcing a laugh that came out a lot breathier than you’d hoped, you brushed your tears away quickly. “Oh, I’m sorry. I suppose it’s the stars,” you said, raising your hand to the luminous streaks sparking across the night sky. “They’re so beautiful, it made me emotional.”
Cassian kept his eyes on you, his gaze burning as you looked anywhere but back at him. He stepped behind you then, gently snaking his arms around your waist and resting his head on your shoulder, his breath warm in your ear. You clenched your eyes shut – you knew you hadn't done a good enough job to fool him. But he played it cool, nonchalant even, respecting your privacy in the face of the rest of his family.
“How about we get out of here doll?”
You shook your head quickly. “No Cass, it’s your night with your family.”
He hugged you tighter, kissing your temple before murmuring into your hair. “And there’ll be a thousand more Starfalls to come. C’mon, I know the perfect place.”
You were just about to tell him to go join his brothers and that you would excuse yourself alone, before the sound of wings flaring filled your ears.
“Cass–”. You were cut off as Cassian launched the both of you to the sky, knocking the breath from your chest as he hauled you up, moving swiftly to cup your knees.
Clinging tightly around his neck, you stared ahead in awe as he gracefully weaved between the glowing spirits as they speared past you, leaving streaks of light like temporary strokes of luminescent paint. Clenching your eyes shut for just a moment, you tried to appreciate the beauty of Starfall, despite what had happened on this night all those years ago.
Cassian kept his eyes forward, concentrating to not disturb the stars on their journey. Long strands of hair were pushed back in the wind, his expression, while focused, still soft and kind.
Cassian was everything good in the world. He was too good for it, and too good for you. It was instinct to snake your arms around his neck tighter, pulling yourself closer to him, as if his broad chest could smother you whole. How long could you hold him, both physically and in your heart, knowing you would never be good enough for his love?
After a short flight, Cassian landed gently in a part of the mountains you had never visited before. The night was quiet here, and you could see the occasional glow of a falling star through the tops of the sprawl of mountain ash trees – their canopies stretching so tall you had to tilt back to see. The terrain was unlike anything you had seen in Velaris, it was where forest met mountain. Around you, glowing insects fluttered softly, filling the void around you in a charming way.
All in all, it was a beautiful setting. But why had he bought you here?
“Where are we?” you asked.
“A favourite place of mine.” he answered with a smile, before focusing his eyes on you. “Doll, what’s going on?”
“I’m sorry,” you said, looking anywhere but at him. You had broken your own promise – spoiling Cassian’s celebration with his family despite your own feelings for Starfall. He was a good male, if not the best and he deserved to celebrate freely. Instead he was here, coddling you.
“You have nothing to be sorry for. What–?”
“No I do, I do Cass,” you interrupted him, blowing a sharp breath through o-shaped lips as you tried not to crumple right there and then. Bouncing one knee, you tried to blink away the frustration and anguish you felt at yourself, as tears began to well at your eyes.
Cassian moved closer, cupping your face in his large hands. “Hey, hey. Sweetheart, it’s all right.” he soothed, rubbing gentle thumbs over your cheeks. “What’s got you all strung out, hmm?”
“I’m selfish, I know, I'm sorry–”
“What in Cauldron’s–? Y/N, you are not selfish.” Cassian was frowning deeper now.
You shook your head in response. “It’s your special night with your family. I’m ruining the whole thing, and it only happens once a year, but I’m making it about me and–” Cassian’s eyes darted between your own as your rambles turned to blubbering, the Illyrian in front of you becoming more of a blur as you began to truly cry.
Even through your tears, you could sense the glow from the stars above fade as two large wings came to shield you, offering comfort, sanction, a place with no shame. Large hands left your face, instead pushing gently at your back to bring you closer to his chest, his arms firm as they wrapped around you.
So you held him back – tighter than you’ve ever held anything, as if the stars could take him away and make him one of their own, just like they did–
Cassian pulled back, looking down as he brushed away your tears before holding your chin in his calloused fingers. “You want to tell me where this is coming from, doll?”
Your lip trembled as you took yet another shaky breath. “It’s… the anniversary.”
Cassian frowned. “The anniversary?”
You dropped your gaze to the ground, your shoes covered by your gown, the beauty of the shimmering fabric an odd contrast with the mossy ground beneath you. “Yes,” you said eventually. “The anniversary of my mate…”
“Ah.” Cassian answered, knowing already. You looked up at him now, his big brown eyes focused on you, soft and patient and understanding. “You never told me it happened on Starfall.”
“It’s not a detail I like to recall.” You took a deep breath, preparing for the pain you knew it would cause to explain. “Each year I spend this night alone, watching the stars from my home and searching for the brightest one – the one that I know is them. But I’ve never found them, on the one night a year when I’m meant to, on the one night of the year where the Cauldron spares the living – instead it punishes me.”
Cassian sighed then, bringing his hands to your arms, grounding you before you could lose yourself to memories of lonesome Starfalls – the gut punching heartache when the last of the stars would shoot past, and another year of trying to connect to your passed mate in the only way you knew how, didn't happen yet again.
“This year, I promised myself I wouldn't look. And I feel so guilty. Guilty that I'm not looking for them, guilty that I still want to even though I’m here with you. I love you so, so much Cass – you’re the best thing in this world. You don't deserve someone like me, who still searches for a past love in the stars.”
Cassian shook his head, before levelling a look at you then. “They were your mate, Y/N. And they were taken from you. I can't even begin to know how much that must hurt, especially on a night like this.”
And although the relief of your confession helped ease the clench in your heart, Cassian's understanding made you cry harder. “I don't deserve you,” you whispered through sobs.
Strong arms pulled you into his waist. “And I love you,” he replied cooly.
You blinked up at him, unsure of how his love prevailed in a moment like this. “But Cass, we’ll never be mated.”
“I don't care.” A strong hand was bought to your jaw, cupping your face as Cassian leant in, softly placing his lips over yours. Something stirred inside you, like the faint remains of a broken bond finally being put to rest. It warmed you, and your skin felt alight as you kissed him back, kissed him hard, hands sliding to grip the roots of his hair as you pulled him to you, closer, never close enough.
Pulling away for just a moment, you looked up at the handsome Illyrian, his wings uncurling from around you as the rest of the forest was revealed. It was beyond your belief that there was a male capable of loving you so, despite everything you had told him.
“What are you thinking now, doll?”
“That I love you so much it hurts,” you said, a faint smile on your lips.
Cassian chuckled softly. “C’mere sweetheart,” he said, pulling you into a bear hug, swinging with you and kissing your hair.
A star so bright it lit the both of your faces shot above the tree tops, streams of it’s light finding the forest floor through the canopy. You smiled knowingly, tears of contentment staining your face as kissed Cassian again and again.

Strawberries and Cream - (Nesta x Reader)
Hiiii! @greeneyedivy and I collaborated and wrote this piece for @azsazz's and @writingsbychlo's Starfall Week! This was SO much fun to write and we really hope you enjoy it!
The prompt we used was "Character A and Character B meet at Starfall"
Summary: Nesta doesn't care for Starfall and just wants to get away from the Inner Circle...which subsequently leads to an encounter that changes her life.
Word count: 5006
Warnings: SMUT! 🌶️
✧: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *
Starfall.
It was all anyone had been talking about for weeks, and Nesta was sick of it.
There was no escaping it. If she wasn’t being subjected to the Inner Circle’s excited preparations, then walking the streets of Velaris was a sure way of reminding her of the occasion. She couldn’t turn a corner without seeing posters of businesses offering promotional offers, or catching a glimpse of the storefront decorations that had been hung. The entire thing was giving her a headache.
No, she didn’t care to watch the stars crash into each other, and no, she didn’t care what everyone would be wearing while they did. Even Elain had been sucked into the allure of the whole thing, but Nesta — Nesta saw it for what it was.
Unnatural. Just as unnatural as going from human to fae. She felt such a visceral hatred for the entire situation that it ached her bones.
She may have had no choice but to live on the other side of the Wall, now, but that didn’t mean she had to partake in the foolish traditions that existed there.
You’re still welcome to join us, Feyre had said, dressed up to the nines alongside the others. They were all heading to the House of Wind — the best place, apparently, to witness what was about to happen.
No, was all Nesta had responded, and they didn’t push any further, even as her sisters left with disappointment on their faces.
Nesta would create her own plans, she’d decided. And that was how she’d ended up in quite possibly the seediest tavern she’d ever seen, far across the other side of Velaris.
Her shoes had stuck to the floor as she’d traipsed in, and the groups of punters dotted about the place all looked up, drinking in her appearance, the chatter lowering a little. She lifted her chin, ignoring them as she took a seat at the bar, aware of hungry gazes that studied the outline of her figure in her dress. She could just as easily leave and find somewhere more upbeat and alive, but this…this was what she wanted. A place that could be any dingy, old tavern in the human lands, if she ignored the fae features around her. A place where she could pretend, at least for one night, that her new life was just one big nightmare.
So she ordered herself a drink and focused on the sensuous strum of a lute across the room.
The notes were charming and beautiful, soon transporting her to another life, another world, entirely. Nesta loved music — it was one of the very few things she still could love, and the setting didn’t matter as the tune climbed and fell, one song trailing off into the next. Her plans to down drink after drink seemed to fall to the wayside as she instead became distracted by the music.
Time ran away with her like that. She found herself able to push her thoughts away for the first time in a long while, and she nursed her drink and focused on anything but reality, and the dull sounds of soaring stars outside. Perhaps that was why she didn’t catch the sound of approaching footsteps, nor the fact that the music had come to a stop. The male voice that spoke to her was an unwanted obtrusion.
“Can I buy you another drink?”
She glanced up, finding a mildly handsome face smiling at her. The mess of blonde hair on his head and the piercing blue eyes did nothing for her. She stared back at him blankly, forcing herself to be polite.
“No,” she responded. “Thank you.”
“Come on.” The male persisted, sidling up to her. “There’s no sense in sitting there with an empty glass. Same again?”
“She said no, Mallas. Piss off.”
Both Nesta and Mallas looked up upon the third voice that was injected into the conversation. A female voice, slightly smoky and raspy. The sound seemed to skitter over Nesta’s skin like chills.
Her eyes took in the female that stood there, holding a lute as she stared down the male. In the dim faelights that lit the tavern, she looked…ethereal. Like the music she’d been playing moments before. Nesta couldn’t help staring.
“I was only offering.” Mallas mumbled, pushing past her. “Bitch.”
“Kiss my ass.” Her eyes watched him closely, tracking him as he returned to the group of deadbeats he mingled with. Only once he was sat back down did she turn back to Nesta. “You shouldn’t be here, Nesta Archeron.”
Nesta blinked, caught off guard for once. And then frowned at her. “Do I know you?”
“No.” She leaned against the bar. “But everyone here knows you. The sister of our High Lady should not be keeping company such as the dregs of society that loiter in this dive. And I would know — my uncle owns the place.”
Nesta lifted her chin. “I’m not some silly little girl. I can choose, for myself, whose company I keep, thank you very much.”
The female’s lips twitched into what appeared to be amusement. “Well, then.” She said. “Have a good night. And happy Starfall to you.”
With that, she turned, sidling around the bar. Nesta couldn’t help watching every tiny movement as the female hung her lute over her shoulder, whistling a merry little tune as she headed towards the door at the back.
“Wait.” She found herself blurting, and the female turned curiously. “I—you play the lute.”
The musician stared back at her, that same look of teetering amusement seeming to pass across her face. Nesta thought she might die from humiliation — beg the ground to swallow her up, or something. You play the lute. As if that wasn’t already obvious.
She just…she felt intrigued. Maybe even a little awed. Her body and mind felt more alert than it had in months — and that was just from a few seconds of conversation. She…she wanted more of it.
“I do.” The female answered. She angled herself back around, studying the oldest Archeron. “…you like music?”
“I love it.”
Chewing her lip, the female seemed to consider that for a moment. What, exactly, she was thinking, Nesta wasn’t sure. But she liked the way she looked at her…assessing and curious. Not the contempt she’d become used to. It made her body feel hot and cold.
“…Okay.” The female eventually said. “Then I have something you might like — if you care to see it.”
Nesta didn’t even hesitate. She shrugged, forcing nonchalance that she didn’t feel. “Why not?”
“Indeed.” The female’s hand shot out in offering. “My name is Y/N.”
Nesta shook that hand, entirely aware of the lightning strike that, in that moment, seemed to bring her back to life.
✧: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ
“This is my home.” Y/N held a chipped, dented door open, stepping aside.
Nesta tried to school her expression as she wandered in. Not that she wasn’t used to small, modest houses, of course, but after months in Rhysand’s luxury, this place was…definitely not that.
A soft snort came from behind her, and Nesta glanced over her shoulder, kicking her shoes off. “What?”
“It’s no High Lord’s house, I grant you.” Y/N said, throwing her keys into a bowl beside the door. “But it’s home — my space.”
“I like it.” Nesta said, and she realised she was telling the truth.
With a smile, Y/N led her through to a small sitting room. The place was…colourful. Vibrant wall hangings and beaded curtains in doorways that led off to other places. Patchwork throws were draped over the sofas, and there were piles of books — titles that Nesta recognised, some she didn’t — and plants hanging from the ceiling and perched on shelves and standing in pots on the floor.
“You live here alone?” Nesta found herself asking, drinking in every detail.
“I do. My family is…complicated. I’d genuinely go insane if I didn’t have my own space.” Y/N hung her jacket up, and Nesta glimpsed the pretty, dark peplum blouse and tight breeches she wore. “Drink?”
She tore her gaze away. “Yes. Thank you.”
Y/N pushed through one of those beaded curtains, drifting into what Nesta assumed was a small kitchen. The sounds of cupboards opening and glasses clinking travelled through as Nesta slowly approached one of the sofas and perched down. She studied the coffee table before her — covered in pages and pages of parchment. And on them, she realised, music. Compositions.
The beads rustled again, and Y/N sat next to her, handing her a small glass of amber liquid. “I write it all myself — the music.”
“That’s incredible.” Nesta reached out, her fingers brushing over the indentations of ink on the pages. She couldn’t read any of it for the life of her, but…there was something beautiful about just studying the notes. Words tumbled from her lips before she could stop them. “Music is…an escape for me.”
“I get that.”
The two females had known each other barely an hour, and yet Nesta just knew — knew that Y/N did get it. That there was some sadness in the confession that she could relate to.
“Do you write just for yourself?” She asked, sipping her drink.
“For now.” Y/N nodded. “But I’d like to perform in the Rainbow one day — or at least hear my compositions being performed there. That’s my goal. To…to be different to what my family are. To break from that mould.”
“And what are they? Your family?”
With a soft laugh, Y/N placed her drink down and rose once more. “Well…that actually brings me to what I was going to show you.”
Nesta waited patiently, watching as the female strode over to a cabinet and rifled through. She was…beautiful, her hair flowing down her back, the cut of her figure through her clothes. For a moment, Nesta found her thoughts emptying, her mouth drying. She quickly looked away.
“This,” Y/N said, slumping back down with a small box in her palm, “is a Symphonia. Go ahead — take a look.”
Nesta stared at her for a moment, their gazes meeting. She cautiously outreached a hand, opening the box and peering inside. Her brow furrowed at the small, silver ball that sat within.
“You can take it out. I promise you’ll like it.”
Nesta’s long, slender fingers dipped into the box, carefully pulling the ball out. She set it down in her palm, realising that while the top was curved, the bottom had a smoother surface — to be set down without rolling, she supposed.
“What does it do?” She asked.
Y/N reached out, and Nesta jolted as she gently took her free hand. The two females stared at each other again, gazes not once faltering as Y/N guided her fingers to the top of the Symphonia.
“Just tap it.” She murmured, giving a light press. “Like this.”
Nesta jumped, her lips parting in pure astonishment as music suddenly filled the room, the small object breathing notes and symphonies into the air. She knew there was a whole wealth of magic that she was yet to encounter in Prythian — and had been hesitant to ever do so. But this…she never would have considered anything like this.
“How does it do that?” She breathed.
Y/N smiled. “It uses magic to trap the music inside so that it can be played back to you. Everything you hear is being played by me. I use it for music composition. It’s…a very rare object.
“Where did you get it?”
“…that’s where my family comes into it.” Y/N shifted a little uncomfortably, pulling her hand away. “I come from a family full to the brim with criminals. One of the things they deal in is rare magical objects. Usually, I try to distance myself from them and have nothing to do with them. I’d like to get away from them completely. But this…the Symphonia…it was the last thing my father gave me before he was killed.”
It was an effort for Nesta not to flinch, not to return to those harrowing thoughts of her own father. She swallowed, forcing herself to focus on the music.
“Stolen or not, I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it.” Y/N said. “Even if that makes me a terrible person.”
Nesta glanced up through her lashes, meeting her gaze. “It doesn’t.”
Again, the two females found themselves locked in their staring, the music floating around them. Unsaid words seemed to intertwine with it. Words that Nesta thought she might never have the courage to speak, but that made her skin tingle.
Eventually, Y/N smiled, prising the Symphonia from Nesta’s palm and placing it onto the coffee table. She held out a hand once more.
“Would you like to dance, Nesta Archeron?”
✧: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ
They did dance. And danced and danced and danced until their feet hurt. Until Nesta felt like a different person. And even as the stars completed their journeys across the skies, the two females showed no signs of tiring.
Nesta was drunk – not really on alcohol, no, even with the glasses they’d knocked back. She was drunk on elation. On…happiness. She’d never felt so on top of the world.
The Symphonia had given them three run-throughs of every piece of music before they were slumping back onto the sofa side-by-side, their heads swimming and eyes smiling, lips laughing. Their arms brushed, that zipping energy that had been sparking between them all evening still very much present.
It was enough to slow the pace down, to ground Nesta.
Her head still tilted back against the sofa, she angled it to find Y/N already gazing at her. Studying her. There had been a lot of glances like that as the night had wore on, only seeming to grow more heated and honeyed with every passing touch and word.
“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Nesta asked, not minding at all.
Y/N’s eyes traced the sharp, flawless lines of her face. A face that so many would deem cold and unfeeling, albeit beautiful. But there was more behind that facade…layers that Y/N wanted to peel back.
“I’m seeing you.” She replied.
The response wasn’t exactly what Nesta had been expecting; an odd, puzzling answer. She stared back at her, feeling strangely naked as she asked, “what are you seeing?”
“I’m seeing,” the female shifted, somehow inching closer. Their faces were mere centimetres apart, breaths mingling, “someone who is scared.”
Nesta didn’t react. Right – she was so damn right, it was painful. Nesta hated it, how vulnerable it made her. Still, Y/N went on.
“I’m seeing,” she continued, “someone who feels a huge volume of things, all at once. Someone who doesn’t know what the fuck to do with those feelings, but is expected to have it all figured out. Someone who desperately wants to let go and lose control, but is equally scared of doing so.”
The words were so accurate, hitting so close to home, that they robbed Nesta of breath. She’d spent months feeling isolated and alone and misunderstood, angry and hurt and like nobody fucking saw her.
And yet, she’d met a complete stranger who had managed to sum her up perfectly within hours of their first words.
It made her…made her want to keep feeling. No matter how terrifying that was.
She didn’t know what to say, how to respond. It seemed a bit strange to thank someone for accurately reading her, seeing her. There weren’t really any words–
So she gave in to the urge that had been building in her all night, as their bodies had danced closer and closer until they were moving in one, fluid unit. As their scents had mingled, and Nesta had got drunk on it.
She leaned forward, cupping Y/N’s cheek, and slanted her lips over hers.
It was like two puzzle pieces locking into place. Y/N didn’t hesitate to lean in to the kiss, reciprocating with as much enthusiasm. Her own hand moved up, tangling in Nesta’s hair.
They both tasted like the honey wine they’d been drinking, their tongues sweet as they began to explore each other. It was the first time Nesta had ever kissed another female, and it was different. Exciting. Right.
Their lips didn’t separate, even as their bodies began to move. Y/N was inching closer, angling herself over Nesta, and Nesta tentatively placed her hands on her waist, hoping it was the right thing to do, wondering if she was allowed to explore further.
Realising she wanted to.
Y/N nipped her lip gently, and then pulled back just slightly to study her face, their breaths hot and fast.
“I think that you’re probably used to being dominant, Nesta Archeron.” Her smoky voice caressed Nesta’s ears, her skin. “And I think you want to give up that control for once. That you’d like to know what it feels like to submit.”
A quick, short breath escaped Nesta’s lips. “Oh yeah?”
“Mhmm.” Lips coasted over her lips, her jaw, down to her neck. “Do you want to let go, Nesta?”
“Yes. Yes.”
Y/N smiled against her skin, pressing a kiss to the hollow of her throat. “Very well.”
Nesta didn’t know what to expect, but she knew her skin was deliciously on fire. Wetness was already pooling between her thighs, and the sure musk of arousal began to mingle with the sweeter scents in the air. Not just Nesta’s arousal, but Y/N’s too – and it only made Nesta wetter to know she was the cause.
“Relax.” Y/N whispered against the shell of her ear. “I’ll take care of you.”
It was only then that Nesta realised how rigid her body was – how she naturally tensed and threw her guard up to ward people off. But she didn’t want to do that. She wanted…wanted to let go, and experience everything that accompanied that bravery. To feel.
She forced her limbs to loosen into the sofa, the feeling in itself strangely pleasurable. Was this what it was like to experience pleasure for pleasure’s sake? Y/N was right – Nesta was used to being dominant. Every sexual encounter she’d engaged in had been about exacting control, feeling powerful. Having the command of things, as she did so rarely these days, in this new life.
But that didn’t mean she didn’t want to let go. And letting go was…euphoric.
“That’s it,” Y/N encouraged, as Nesta’s limbs loosened more. Her fingers began to skim over the buttons at the bodice of her dress. “Can I undo these?”
Nesta nodded once, quick. “Yes – please.”
If Nesta’s skin was fire, Y/N’s fingers were contrasting, delicious ice, as though one offset the other. Y/N didn’t fumble with the buttons like males always did. She undid them one by one, torturously slow, until the two halves of the dress were parting and exposing Nesta’s full, generous breasts to the cool air, her nipples immediately hardening.
And then Y/N was rocking back on her legs, hungrily drinking in the sight. She swallowed, glancing up to meet Nesta’s eyes. “You’re fucking exquisite.”
Nesta found herself blushing. But there was no time to feel coy as Y/N leaned in, capturing her lips once more.
The kiss was hungry, fierce, and even as Nesta’s body tried to take control, she gave over to the need to stop and feel. She cupped Y/N’s face in her hands, her thumbs stroking her cheeks as they kissed and kissed and kissed until they were both breathless. An ache was already building between her legs, and she pressed them together, moaning softly.
Y/N smiled, lips pulling away from hers to trail down and down, just as they had before. But they continued on further, brushing over the swells of Nesta’s breasts. One of her hands came up to knead one breast while her lips fastened on the nipple of the other.
The sensation was…unreal. Nothing like anything Nesta had felt before. Males had paid plenty of attention to her breasts, kissing and sucking and touching, but none of that came close to the feeling of Y/N’s tongue flicking over her nipple, her teeth grazing just slightly. Another, louder moan fell from Nesta’s lips, and her head fell back, her eyes screwing shut.
“Look at me.” Y/N hummed, moving to pay the same attention to the other breast. “I want to know that you’re enjoying this.”
Nesta’s chest heaved as her breath hitched. “I am. Gods, I am.”
Y/N smiled, and Nesta began to wonder if it was possible to come from the treatment her breasts were receiving alone. The sensations…every lick and suck, the bites and the subsequent kisses to the hurts they left behind…it was possible she might combust.
But then Y/N lips coasted further down, still. As far as they could go with Nesta’s gown still on. She pressed quick, gentle kisses to Nesta’s stomach, glancing up at her. “Can I take your dress off?”
“I think I may rip it off myself if you don’t.”
Y/N’s breathy laugh was music to her ears. A strange thought popped into her head that she’d happily trap the sound of that laugh within the Symphonia and listen to it over and over again. But all thoughts emptied from her mind as she lifted her body from the sofa, and deft hands and fingers were pulling the fabric away from her body, leaving her utterly exposed.
Nesta was a confident woman, well aware that she was beautiful, that her body was the envy of many. But as she slumped back down, her underwear the only thing left covering her, she found herself…worried. Worried that she wouldn’t be to Y/N’s liking.
She’d never once cared nor considered that with anyone before.
But the way Y/N stared at her put all those worries promptly to bed. That was fierce hunger in her eyes, her tongue swiping at her lip as her gaze trailed down and down, over Nesta’s breasts, her toned stomach, her sensuous hips and slender legs. And between those legs, the pulsing wet heat beneath her underwear. Her arousal drifted up to smother Y/N in its essence, and her eyes almost rolled back into her head.
“I repeat,” she said tightly, as though she was trying to hold herself back from devouring Nesta whole, “You’re fucking exquisite.”
Nesta swallowed, studying her just as fiercely. “Why don’t you show me what you look like under those clothes?”
“There’s plenty of time for that. But this is about you. All you.”
And Nesta couldn’t deny that she loved the sound of that. Even though she found herself strangely nervous, her body trembling slightly, her arousal only built and built as Y/N stepped closer again.
And dropped to her knees before her.
“Anything you don’t like,” Y/N said, her hands gently trailing up Nesta’s legs, “you tell me, okay?”
Nesta nodded. Swallowed. “Yes.”
“Good.” She leaned in, pressing a kiss to one of those long, luscious legs. Her lips coasted over the skin, smiling as Nesta seemed to gasp at the sensation. “Pretty as this underwear is, I’d much prefer it off.”
Nesta would much prefer it thrown out of the window, far out of sight. It was nothing but torturous friction rubbing against her. She gladly lifted her hips as Y/N’s hands climbed up, gripping the fabric with nothing but gentleness.
And then she was tugging them down, down until they were gone, discarded somewhere behind her.
The heady scent of Nesta’s arousal hit her like a wave; a wave she’d happily drown in. The scent was mouthwatering, and she had to steel herself, gather her thoughts before she unleashed herself on her entirely and drank in that wetness she so badly wanted a taste of.
“You smell incredible.” Y/N breathed, swallowing at the sight of her exposed, dripping centre. “I bet you taste even better.”
Nesta tracked every movement. “Are you going to find out?”
“Would you like me to?”
“Yes. Gods above, yes.”
“Then I will.”
The confirmation in itself had Nesta moaning – or perhaps it was the way Y/N hoisted one of those legs over her shoulder, her fingers gently dancing over her calf as her lips pressed small, quick kisses over the skin. Nobody had ever paid such attention to her like this. She wasn’t sure she’d ever let anyone do so.
But as Y/N lifted the other leg, allowing them both to rest on her shoulders, Nesta felt nothing but a potent mix of excitement and anticipation and bliss. She sank into the sofa, lifting her hips as Y/N kissed and nipped her way up to her thighs.
“You have such pretty thighs.” Y/N hummed, kissing the inside of one, and then the other. “Your skin reminds me of cream.”
Nesta released a breath, head falling back.
“And with every little mark I leave,” She nipped, nibbled, leaving trails of faint red marks that weaved a path right up to her centre. “It’s like strawberries and cream. Beautiful.”
Her lips, her tongue, were so close to where Nesta wanted them. To where Nesta wanted all of her. She was filled with new, frenzied thoughts, wondering what it might be like for them both to be naked, skin to skin, bodies moving in tandem with each other, Nesta’s sex rubbing against hers. She moaned, instinctively dragging a hand down her body, desperate for some sort of release.
“Pretty, pretty Nesta.” Y/N gently grasped that hand. Laced their fingers together. “Let me make you feel good.”
“Please,” Nesta begged softly, and Y/N struck.
Her face lowered to Nesta’s soaked sex, the grip on her hand immediately tightening as she breathed in her scent, her nose nudging her clit. She glanced up, drinking in the sight of flushed cheeks and parted lips and the firm, furrowed brow. And then she dipped, licking a stripe up the centre of her.
Nesta immediately gasped, her hips lifting off the couch. Again – that contrast of ice and fire. Y/N’s tongue was an inviting trail of coolness as she lapped at the damp heat of Nesta’s cunt. Nesta’s hand was clenching around hers, and her nails dug slightly in as Y/N’s tongue reached the apex of her thighs, swirling around the sensitive bud of her clit.
“Oh, gods,” Nesta moaned, throwing her head back. Every little lick and lap was like being touched for the first time. Attentive and giving and raw. Her heart moved at a thudding gallop inside her chest, seeming to jerk at every sensation.
“Is that good?” Y/N hummed against her, her teeth lightly grazing her clit.
“Yes. Fuck, Y/N, yes.”
Nesta could feel Y/N’s lips smiling against her. Her body trembled, fighting with the urges to both give and take as Y/N licked and nipped and sucked. But this was about giving over control – about taking. And as Y/N used her free hand to slowly slide a finger into her, she was happy to do just that.
“Doing so well for me.” Y/N breathed, pumping her finger in and out as Nesta’s juices coated her tongue. The taste had every one of her nerves alert and craving, and the moans she let out were certainly not for show as she fucking devoured. “Gods, you taste like sunlight.”
Never would Nesta have believed that anyone would describe her as sunlight. The praise felt just as pleasurable as the sensations as she reached out, threading her empty hand within Y/N’s hair. She gave a gentle tug, and Y/N grinned, sliding another finger into her.
She curled those two fingers inside of her, and the delicious ache that was beginning to build and pique, the feeling of those fingers and her tongue working inside her and against her–
“Fuck, I can’t–” Nesta’s hips lifted off the seat again, her head thrown back.
“You can let go.” Y/N lapped against her, pumping her fingers faster, harder. “Let go, Nesta. I’ve got you.”
Nesta did just that, a shout breaking from her throat as release overtook her body. She was nothing but pure, shaking, feverish pleasure as she came, hips bucking and legs trembling. She gripped onto Y/N’s hair, riding her release against her face.
Incredible, really, that Y/N didn’t falter once. Even as Nesta’s centre was grinding against her, practically smothering her, she seemed hungry for the whole thing, continuing the expert strokes of her fingers and tongue. And as Nesta’s trembling legs buckled and had her tumbling back onto the sofa, Y/N held her, kissing her thighs and stroking her hand still intertwined with hers.
Seconds or minutes or hours could have passed, and Nesta’s heart was still thudding, her ears ringing. When she’d regained enough sense to speak, she was weakly pulling on Y/N’s hand, tugging her up, up towards her. As soon as their faces were close enough, Nesta captured Y/N’s lips in a kiss, moaning at the taste of herself that lingered there.
“I want you.” Nesta breathed, pulling back just slightly. She stared at Y/N, swallowing, wondering – and knowing, deep down – what the fire was that had been lit inside of her. “I want — more.”
Y/N studied her face, the flushed cheeks and glazed eyes. She leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to the corner of Nesta’s mouth, and then she was tugging her to her feet. “So stay.” She said.
Nesta didn’t need to respond – not as Y/N pulled her from the room on shaking legs.
She felt more alive than she had in months. Than she thought she might ever feel again.
And for the first time in years – perhaps for the first time in her life – she felt like she’d found home.
