Confession
Chevalier x Esther (Various Works: Esther x Chevalier) // Impromptu Drabble // ~300 words // Warnings: pregnancy mention
At first it was supposed to be just another "OC Brainrot" post, but it got a little out of hand... It is a glimpse into the situation shortly before Chevalier and Esther got married.
I hesitate to even tag anybody, since it is so rough... But so be it. It wanted to get out, so out it is. Best to accept it with all the implications.
-----
It isn't often for Esther to sit in complete darkness. Yes, she is frugal, often annoyingly so. But never stingy. Not when it is about just a single candle.
Chevalier closes the door.
She does not respond.
The carpet is littered with toys, from stuffed bears and cats to Clavis-made blobs of various kinds and patterns, dolls, building blocks... He does not remember where any of them lie. Chevalier merely steps carefully and hopes not to fall prey to the most unpredictable of things: his toddler's mind. The windowsill is both far away and close enough. He approaches it wordlessly.
Esther does not look at him, not even when his hand drops onto her shoulder. Her attention is anchored firmly in the gardens, her eyes drifting from a twig to a branch, to even the smallest of leaves, clearly searching for something they may captive. Whether she finds it, that he does not know.
"I didn't get the absolution," she says eventually, rather strained. "I've confessed my sins, but the father didn't reply. So I asked, I wanted to know what it was."
Esther breathes in deeply and she sighs, her frame trembling underneath his fingers. Her kindness has boiled down to anger, and she is seething, hands gripping at her skirt. Nevertheless, Esther still turns to face him, illuminated only by the dim light of the garden lanterns. Shadows obscure her face.
For the better.
For the worse.
"I'm never saying that Rosalie was a sin nor that loving you is one, Chevalier." Her hand falls over her belly as he drew her into an embrace. "And I am not sorry for carrying our second either."
Politics make marriage complicated, Chevalier was painfully aware of the fact. The church, however, has made an enemy of the wrong man.

So... You've mentioned that you like making playlists... And... Um... I'm really curious, but would it be okay to ask... What would you put on Esther's chara playlist?
Of course~ The primary genre here is ethereal wave, but there is a touch of new wave as well. The last song in particular ended up being a bit left field but I wanted it to feel like coming out of a darker period once Esther was done being Belle and is allowed to live with Chev.
And hey, have a bonus. It's half the length because I don't know her as well, but I kept encountering songs that were better for Viva than Esther! This one is more mixed on genre as I imagine her feelings are more chaotic and scattered during her time as Belle.

Hi, girls! That AU game got me wondering about a Royalty AU with you guys... Or how would it be if Esther and Viva were the princesses, and Chevalier and Leon were the commoners 🤔
Esther: If we were princesses...
Esther: (Chevalier would do fine whichever role he'd have to take... But knowing him, he'd probably end up in the military...)
Viva: Can you even imagine me as a princess?
Esther: Yes. I can imagine you sneaking out and me pretending to be you, to get you out of trouble.
Viva: That brings back memories, doesn't it? Hahaha. So, I'd be the troublemaker princess who sneaks out of the palace, hmm... I'd meet Leon in... i-in the town! We'd fall madly in love on the spot, and then the king would have nothing to say about it. How's that?
Esther: (...What are you hiding?)
Esther: And that's it? How would you even convince dad? And how would you meet exactly?
Viva: (Can't tell you.)
Viva: There are ways --- Anyways! You can't be just my doppelganger. Let me think...
Esther: Vivi, no. No. Nonono ---
Viva: I know. You'd still be sickly, so Chevalier would be your personal bodyguard. And one night he'd just sneak into your room and ---
Esther: VIVA!
Viva: I knew you'd like the idea!
Viva: (You're red like beetroot now... But you'll forgive me.)
Viva: (Sorry. I can't tell you what I'd really do... But if that was our reality... Leon, I'd save you. I'd find you and I'd save you, and I'd never let you discard yourself.)
Viva: (... Hah. You may be stuck with me now, no matter which world you may be in.)

Art trade for @lorei-writes 💜💜
Admittedly, I got a little carried away imagining a Howl’s moving castle esque au 😅 I love Esther soooo much, she’s so pretty and I just think she should be allowed to have the ability to make Chev tiny whenever he’s being annoying

Do you know how great it feels to see this line? Do you? Because I assumed that this would be his line of reasoning and that is precisely why Esther was constructed the way she is now.

OC Brainrot: Esther and Chevalier's reading tastes are generally speaking, fairly incompatible.
Esther enjoys mystery novels... Which is unfathomable to Chevalier, as the solutions are rather obvious to him.
Meanwhile, Chevalier's love for romance as a genre... Well. What is the point of reading if she can predict what the characters will do?
(They still read each other's favourite books.)

OC brainrot, Modern AU:
Whenever they watch a horror movie together, Chevalier insists (or, much rather, simply pulls) Esther into his lap. At times, he lets her sit between his legs and lean against his chest. His reasoning is that she must not allow herself to be excessively frightened, or she may prompt a flare up.
(It's an obvious excuse. Esther has devoured copious amount of horror and mystery novels while ill... Although it is part his fault she is anything but frightened.)

OC Brainrot: Esther stands in front of the mirror, hair damp, falling in loose curls over her back. Somewhat reluctantly, she unravels the towel wrapped around her body and looks at her reflection, to then sigh quietly.
"What?" Chevalier asks. His back rests against the headboard as he reads on, a book resting in his lap.
"It's nothing."
Chevalier looks up, his brows drawn close in mild annoyance. "Say it."
Hesitation flickers over Esther's face. With the towel hugged to her front, she turns on her heel to face him properly, although she cannot quite look him in the eyes. Mildly embarrassed, she admits, "I've gained weight. I'm not used to looking like this."
"Good. Gain some more." His attention returned to the pages, leaving her dumbfounded.

Esther, redesign - after engagement.
Esther's social status changes throughout her story. At first, she's merely a peasant; then, a worker at the palace an assistant of a prince; and finally, a future lady Michel. Each time I strove for her outfit to reflect who she is... and for it to wordlessly send a message across.

OC brainrot: It is next to impossible to hide things from Chevalier, Esther is aware of as much... but it does not mean she's given up trying.
"Surprise" is a rather intrinsic element of a gift to most people. Knowing what you may receive doesn't necessarily reduce your enjoyment or the gratitude you may experience, and it certainly doesn't do as much for Chevalier. Yet despite that, Esther still hopes to catch him properly off guard, even if just once.
How does one outsmart a genius? Unless you're one yourself, you cannot. All you can do is plan and hope, and so she does. Esther puts her plan in motion whole ten months before Christmas.
Chevalier isn't in the palace at all times -- inspections of border facilities, his duties regarding the land governed by his family, sudden military activity, all may prompt him to leave for days on end. That is when Esther works, although... Him not being there is hardly enough to cover her tracks.
So she lets herself be caught. She bakes sweets, knowing Chevalier will pick up on their scent as soon as he sees her again -- and he does, yet that is not nearly enough. She fixes things around his room and library, prepares other small gifts, even starts working on his birthday present a little bit ahead of time. He'd figure out her idea regardless...
But then Christmas comes. And Esther's gift? It's been lost between all those crumbs. Chevalier is genuinely surprised for once. Whether it's because of the item itself or the effort she's put into it, that is both unclear and irrelevant. His smile is all that matters.

Current OC Brainrot:
Body heat seeps into cold sheets. Clothes rustle. The mattress dips further.
Esther's knuckles grow white around Chevalier's wrists. He is pinned down, or he lets her pin him down, as she straddles his hips. Hair falls from behind her ear.
He stares at her, jaw set. Esther is as close to anger as he's ever seen her, although it is not quite the emotion over her face.
"I cannot be broken, Chevalier. Not until I allow it."
