#otp: better when they’re a rarity
Note
Otp first questions for Ava and Lara
IMPORTANT OTP FIRST QUESTIONS
NOTE: Same as I did for Lara & Cregennan, I’m gonna write this as if they ended up living a life together, but also kinda exploring what their relationship could have been like before and during an engagement.
-Who holds the others hand first?: I feel like once they become good friends after working together to train as Aen Saevherne, that Lara would be the first to grab his hand and drag him places. But after getting engaged and once Lara starts to get to know Cregennan better, it’s Avallac’h grabbing her hand, trying to hang onto her so she doesn’t leave.
-Who initiates the first kiss?: Surprisingly....Avallac’h. And I mean surprisingly because I can just see him so to himself and possibly nervous to do so, but he works up the courage to tell her how he feels.
-Who asks the other out for the first date?: Lara. Well, then again she’s kinda of always dragging him off somewhere with her, so he thinks it counts as one. This becomes true once the engagement is planned between them.
-Who says ‘I love you’ first?: Ohhh...this is a hard one. I feel in the beginning Lara cares for him, but not to that level yet. And Avallac’h wouldn’t dare speak the words out loud unless needed. He’s kinda subtle. But I feel eventually both of them would say it to each other at the same time.
-Who’s ready for marriage first?: Both because they were kinda raised to expect it and work towards it, especially Lara. However, they are both equally nervous and excited.
-Who wants kids first?: Avallac’h. He’s so excited to be a parent and start his own family. Although Lara knows she is destined to have children someday and carry on the Elder Blood line and give birth to an even more powerful child of destiny, I’m still sticking with the headcanon that she is freakin nervous about it. I even have this headcanon that she was really nervous with realizing she was pregnant with Riannon, and it wasn’t just because of how the Aen Elle would react, but because of terrible visions she had been having which only grow until she gives birth to her.
-Who’s the first to break down because they’re going to be parents?: Lara 1000%. However, Avallac’h tries his best to help comfort and take care of Lara through it, even trying to look into her visions to get understanding from them because he wouldn’t let that shit go. He knows how important this is for them and he wants to make sure she is safe.
-Who’s the first to cuss in front of the baby?: *giggles* Lara!
-Who’s name does the baby learn first?: It’s a hard call, honestly. I could see both.
-Who’s least ready to let their kids grow up?: Well, I’m going out on a guess here that since Aen Elle kids still stick around with their parents once they ‘grow up’ because elves don’t age like humans or at least follow the ‘leaving the nest’ tradition like we do...I’d say none of them are affected. They know they will still get to see their kids everyday around Tir na Lia.
-Who cries when the kids leave?: Lara maybe the one to worry or fret over them if they leave the palace. I just see her as that kind of mother.
-Who makes tea for the other because they really shouldn’t be getting up so much anymore?: Old age wouldn’t really affect them like a human, so I’ll apply this to other things. Avallac’h definetly did this for Lara when she was pregnant. And if either one of them are hurt, I feel they would do this for each other.
-Who teases the grandkids most?: Both equally. They both share a quick-witted tongue. And Lara has a playful nature.
-Who spoils the grandkids most?: Again, both. They love their kids and grandkids. Elves love children after all because they are almost practically a rarity and gem to them. Heck, even Auberon would spoil them.
-Who insists on doing even the most simple of tasks for the other because they’re both growing so old and they really need to rest?: Just because they are ‘old’ in elf terms, it doesn’t mean they aren’t able to still do everything. They still have tons of energy and strength, just maybe slightly lessened, but not to the point of not being able to do basic tasks. However, they still help each other out equally.
-Who dies first?: Of course in canon it’s Lara. However, if we still go with the thought of them ending up together and they get to live to the natural old age for an Aen Elle without anyone or anything ending it for them so suddenly...I'd honestly say they’d both go together.

Why Do I Like AppleDash So Much?
Literally nobody has ever asked me this but I'm going to answer this question anyway.
Intro: How I Got Into My Little Pony
Imma be real. The reason I started watching the show is because some of my old Twitter mutuals were interacting with posts about the Friendship Is Magic 10th anniversary. Some of them were talking about Rarijack and how it was a good ship, and others were discussing the implied canonicity of Appledash.
I had, at the time, just finished catching up on The Owl House that had recently been in the process of finishing up season one or had just gone into hiatus (can't remember which) and I was losing interest in my old hyperfixations fast.
See, I do this thing where I get really REALLY invested in a show and then as soon as it ends or as soon as I absorb every bit of media in it, I lose some of the interest or it fades. I don't usually lose full interest. For example, I still love She-Ra (my last big fandom) and I'm obviously still invested in The Owl House, but ever since both of those shows ended/stalled, I was desperately needing something to distract me from the trials and tribulations of my will to live that my daily life often forced upon me.
As you can guess, ponies was my solution.
I went into the show with a Rarijack mindset, but knowing that Appledash existed. I guess my mutuals just really liked Rarijack. I decided to give season one a chance. Actually, I felt quite silly for even deciding to watch the show. You see, back in 2018, I was still quite... trivial about watching anything that was seen as "girly". I didn't really have any problems with watching cartoons (ie. V*ltron, Steven Universe, Avatar, Pokemon etc.) but it was the fact that a show was "girly" that made me iffy. I had a very fragile masculinity, okay?
Anyway, so I actually was really afraid to watch She-Ra, even though the teaser images and trailer looked good. But I did and I decided that even "girly" shows could be good and that I was silly.
But, oh boy, cringe culture really messed with me. In mid/late 2020, I was ashamed to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I said I'd watch one season just so I could laugh at it. I wanted to watch it as a joke, and who knows, maybe I found a guilty pleasure to watch while I waited for The Owl House to come back?
I loaded up Netflix and I hit play. Instantly, I was cringing at myself. Can you blame me? Early season MLP was obviously meant for kids. Not that it was immature or bad, but it was definitely a kid's show, especially considering the iconic storybook opening of episode one.
I watched the episodes, but they mostly were just background noise as I did other things. I remember watching them, but I was indifferent, although frustrated that I found myself chuckling at a few of the jokes and quips. I wasn't that invested, though. I thought Twilight was boring, Rarity obnoxious, Pinkie annoying, Fluttershy frustrating, and Rainbow Dash infuriating. I didn't really mind Applejack, I mostly kinda just thought she was the best one. (Nothing's changed, eh?)
And then....
Fall Weather Friends
Season One Episode Thirteen rolled around.
It starts (as y'all know) with Rainbow Dash and Applejack throwing horseshoes.
I don't know why, but this caught my attention. Of course, being only a few episodes after Look Before You Sleep, I had Rarijack on the mind. But I did think that Applejack and Rainbow Dash were probably good friends and would make for an interesting pairing, and a more interesting episode given their similarities, but also their differences.
I found myself fully watching this episode, and I dare say, it's the episode that dragged me fully into the show.
Maybe it's because I see myself in both of them in a way. Maybe that's why I connect so much with the pair, but them having an episode together? That was really good for me. I wasn't in the best state of mind, and something about seeing two characters that were in some ways reminiscent of myself interact and argue and have an endearing episode together made me smile.
It was then that I discovered the simple amazingness of AppleDash.
I mean, who doesn't love obnoxious, competitive girlfriends that are both prideful and headstrong?
I know I love it.
Anyway, so at that point, my mind kinda just clicked and I decided that my OTP was AppleDash. However, poly rights and Applejack has two front hooves *cough* Rarijackdash *cough*
But yeah so that's how I got into AppleDash. Fall Weather Friends, which was kinda the episode that made me love MLP.
How That Progressed
Well, obviously, I still love that ship I mean I live for it. If I could have any one single ship it'd be them. It just kept getting better and better as the show progressed, I mean their dynamic is great whether you want to see it platonically or romantically. They have a lot in common right off the bat (example, they are both incredibly stubborn, though AJ would take the cake for that) and seem to be close (I mean right from episode one they appear to already have a pre-established friendship), but they're also different. Applejack is a hard worker all of the time with anything she does, while Dash tends to be lazy but can be extremely driven when she is motivated (for example, when she wants to achieve her Wonderbolts dream). Applejack is immensely caring and family-oriented and does things for the good of everypony, while Rainbow Dash can be kind of a jerk and not mindful of her actions when she's wrapped up in the stuff she's doing for herself (not to say she isn't caring, but she tends to be kind of an ass, even to Fluttershy sometimes).
Their growth was immensely fun to watch and as time went on, they shared more and more screentime together. Even if it's not an episode that revolves around them, whenever one of them is in frame, most of the time the other is close by, and they often stand next to each other.
Now, in terms of why they work in the show's canon (in my opinion, either romantically or platonically, they do make a great pairing):
They are both competitive and enjoy competing with each other, though they know (especially after FWF when they've taken it too far)
They watch out for each other (AJ often holds Rainbow Dash back when she's about to rush into danger, especially in early seasons, and Dash always lifts AJ out of danger first [the two examples I can think of off the top of my head are in Best Gift Ever and My Little Pony: The Movie])
Their personalities even each other out. (AJ is a lot more calm than RD, and while they can both get worked up, Applejack is usually the calm one)
Their colour schemes are literally complementary. (AJ's coat is orange while Rainbow's is blue. AJ's eyes are green while RD's are pink/red).
They share a lot of cute moments. (You can just look these up)
THEY'RE HECCING CUTE.
AND FINALLY
I mean fuck, the finale. They're literally canon, you cannot tell me otherwise. It was absolutely intended and you cannot prove otherwise. (read the script notes l o l "we actually could do sort of a subtle wink to the idea that they are now a couple???" < RE Appledash). They live together, they have domestic arguments about chores, they are always giving each other fond looks throughout the episode, always standing next to or near each other, and well we all know Rainbow's iconic hoof on AJ's head in the last shot of the show.
Ashleigh Ball really was the OG shipper and fuck it, she was right. We all know they are in love, she knows they are in love. The only reason they couldn't explicitly state it in the show is probably bc Hasbro would have been against that at the time (I mean, Lyrabon had to be very subtle but hey we gottem).
Oh and, I know this isn't exactly canon canon, but it is an official game: The My Little Pony Magic Princess app. Future AJ and RD's descriptions allude to them being together.
You could negate this and say that this is just them being friends but I mean... come on. Come on. Sweet Apple Acres is Apple family land, and the only people who live there as of The Last Problem are Apples. (AJ, Sugar Belle and Big Mac and their foal, and you guessed it... Rainbow Dash).
You cannot tell me that they aren't canon. You'd really have to be grasping at straws because all the signs are there. They had build up, development, and it just makes sense.
If you don't think it makes sense... did we watch the same show??? It absolutely makes sense.
Anyway, AppleDash is canon. :)

30 Days of Hypmic Challenge
Day 11: Your OTP
Polytenrou! Surprising absolutely no one and I’m sure predictable as you expect. Although I will say I went in and for at least through my ride on Rhyme Anima and just listening to songs, I didn’t have a strong affinity for anyone. So you just leave it to fanfiction to give me some thoughts. I’m sorry but with some good writing, I probably could ship anyone but. But. I really didn’t expect this one to win me over. I honestly thought SamaIchi or even like Mad Trigger Crew would own my heart because I really like rivals and banter even if it’s like ‘fuck you.’ ‘fuck me yourself, you coward.’
But I think it’s because it’s not like that it’s won my heart. Like I said in the division post, i think they found sanctuary with each other and it’s the respite and strength given that allows them to continue struggle on in life. There’s such a mutual fondness, admiration and respect of all parties involved. And there’s no real big sweeping moment that really was a time for anyone for fall for the other two. It was just this steady trickle of coming into each other’s lives (or rather Hifumi and Doppo slowly becoming apart of Jakurai’s life). Life continuing on with only minor changes that just seem to make sense. And letting it go until it’s just another part of their life. It’s just super sweet and makes even my sad, sad heart quiver.
Doppo’s I feel is the easiest to pin the feelings. Like regardless of if it ends with a relationship or friendship, I will go down with the headcanon that he had a crush on Jakurai. And he can only go *Will Smith pose* ‘Have you seen him? How can you not???’ Like he does get caught up in what other people see in Jakurai, this almost ethereal being, and because he is himself, thinks he has no chance in the world. And for some reason, Doppo shoots his shot and is floored, I tell you floored, when he gets any reciprocation. And it takes time and little things to figure out Jakurai’s just a person and it’s that that makes it a little easier to accept Jakurai’s feelings for him. I think the two of them share in unspoken sort of connection. As in they could be sitting in the same room from hours and at most share some glances and smiles and that’s just fine for both of them.
Doppo and Hifumi seem the easiest although I could never choose between if they were established even before Matenrou or if Matenrou made them realize their feelings. Because I could see either. On one hand, they’ve been together so long that it makes sense for them to be together or someone slipped up and awkward confessions. But on the other hand I see them taking advantage of their friendship and feeling like ‘I’d be able to tell if there were feelings because I’ve known them for forever’ but can’t because feelings are literally the only thing they hide from each other. But either way, they have such close knowledge by virtue of years together. And Doppo is more of the protection to Hifumi, shielding him from the world that had become far more treacherous since the incident and willing to take on any threat to him. Y’all, when some dude knifed Hifumi, Doppo was like ‘it’s on sight.’ No hesitation. He also is one that reels in Hifumi’s bordering thoughtless actions and words, more in tune with......societal conventions?
Hifumi on the other hand is far more in tune between himself and Doppo. He gets how both of them are like enough to work around most pitfalls either of them have. He does seem to do a lot of like little things such as preparing dinner or doing housework...but I really do think that’s how Hifumi shows his love. Just doing little acts here and there and absolutely glows seeing the smile it brings. He’s also the levity needed to interrupt or spin Doppo’s pessimism. He also is the one person that pushes Doppo to go beyond his ordinary and to give him a chance for getting more out of life than his covers and pillow. Even if it doesn’t always pan out, it is still a memorable time.
As for Hifumi and Jakurai, I think there’s a lot more candidness from them. Not that they’re not honest, just that they have stuff to hide and have encountered the one (1) person they cannot hide successfully from. Hifumi is blunt sometimes to the point of rudeness and so he skips the niceties that most people will use to shy away from asking the harder things. I think he understands Jakurai’s little expressions and gestures and thus gets what he feels most times. Not a lot of people Jakurai has been around seem to have this skill so thus not many people ‘get’ him. And he’s been quite fine with that. It’s a safeguard in a way. But then he gets suckerpunched by Hifumi being so forward with him that Jakurai has no choice but react naturally.
And I believe that Jakurai loves Hifumi’s unpredictability. That he will always be surprised by Hifumi and that because he’s not someone he can plan around, he has to be himself around him. It is a breath of sea air, not quite the usual but has its own freshness and charm to it. And while Hifumi does get to Jakurai’s real self easily, he also leaves himself open to Jakurai. I think Jakurai is one of those people that actually notice that for all his brightness and ‘nothing can go wrong,’ Hifumi still has fears and worries and the like. It’s just that Hifumi isn’t as willing to let that show and Jakurai doesn’t give him the choice in hiding it from him. Because while I don’t think he completely gets people, Jakurai’s high observance allows him to sidestep some things, including Hifumi’s fronts. So as a result they have to be...* gasp * themselves in each other’s presence.
And lastly for just these break down of dynamics...I do not know what compelled Jakurai towards Doppo in the first place but this was arguably the first connection of their whole team. But it may be because Jakurai started by seeing Doppo’s vulnerability, as like someone that is listening to one’s problems, and finds it interesting he continues to go head-on with his problems despite the clear distress it gives him. However, if I had to think of a ‘when’ of Jakurai falling for Doppo, it was certainly when he was cultivating his rap skill. His lyrics just held a rawness and such emotion, that Jakurai felt it and he fell. I think what Jakurai loves about Doppo is his passion. Because it is such a rarity despite how often they see each other and for some reason, Doppo keeps it locked up. And it intrigues the hell out of Jakurai. He also highly admires the resolve in the grit your teeth and bear it sort of mentality too, because having to do so over and over, would break any normal person. But despite what he says about it, Doppo hasn’t broken from it and he trudges forward despite how hard it is.
And the three of them together...well, I think I put it better in the Matenrou post but they find a solace in each other. They pull each other up when anyone goes down. They protect the others’ bodies, hearts and mind. In each other they find some place where they feel...safe. Safe from their past. Safe from the harsh reality. Safe from their own heads. It’s where they can be who their are with those that not only accept their ‘oddities’ but want to see more of their true selves. While there’s not always hope for future, there is trust in the hands that hold them now and the hope that with them they can handle whatever comes next.

I need some angst in my life so.. Reader and the Tenth doctor with prompt #12 or #38 from the otp drabble list!
I’m so sorry 😅 I know this took forever to get to you, but I’m finally done!! Fluff comes easier to me, so it’s always a challenge trying to make myself write something a little angsty. And I managed to find a way to put both prompt requests in here, and I really like how they worked together! And although I actually like my sweet moment at the end, I know I just kind of stoppped writing at the end. I could have closed it off better, but I think you’ve waited long enough for this 😅 Thanks for sticking around! I hope you like it!! 💗💗
12: “H-how long have you been standing there?” - “Long enough.”
38: “Well, this is awkward.” - “Don’t touch me.”
“I hate it when he makes us split up … where the hell is he?” you muttered as you and Donna crept through the halls of an alien gang’s ship. The two of you had gone and shut down one of their systems while the Doctor found where they were hiding prisoners. He was supposed to have contacted you with an update by now, but there was nothing but radio silence on his end.
“Maybe he just, I don’t know, got caught up with the prisoners?” Donna suggested, trying to keep her thoughts out of the gutter. “You know how he gets, it’s hard to get him to shut up."
"But don’t you think he would have realized by now? You know, once he saw that the lights went out?”
“Oi, stop bringing it up! I hit the wrong switch, I got it right eventually! Now the lights on this level are out, that’s all,” Donna exclaimed. The two of you continued down the hall, approaching some sort of orange glow. With no word from the Doctor, and who knows how many people looking for the three of you, a weird light is certainly something new and worth a look.
“I just, I hope he hasn’t done something stupid and gotten himself into trouble,” you sighed, cautiously approaching the doorway where the glow was coming from. “I mean, just the thought of him getting seriously hurt, I-” You didn’t want to finish. Donna gave you a soft look, trying to ease your thoughts a little.
Of course, the two of you would hate to lose the Doctor, the three of you were best friends. But, in a perfect world, that’s all you would be. You wouldn’t have to deal with the fact that your feelings for him had grown out of your control. That every wavering touch, every smile in your direction, every unnecessarily tight hug made your insides feel like fireworks. You wouldn’t have to deal with the fact that ever since you had grown so attached to him, the thought of something happening to the Doctor actually made you sick.
“Alright, alright, calm yourself,” Donna said soothingly, seeing the gears turning in your head, leading you down a dangerous path. “I’m sure he’s fine, let’s just keep going, okay? We’ll find each other eventually, we always do."
The room with the orange glow had no door, so the two of you crept up to the doorframe as slowly and quietly as you could. You ever so slightly poked your head around the corner to see if anyone was there, and what you saw made your heart skip a beat.
In the middle of the room was a waist-high tub full of glowing orange goo holding a crowd of people you assumed to be the prisoners the Doctor had been looking for. And of course, he was standing in the middle of the group with his back to the door. They began to chatter as they saw the two of you, which got his attention. He turned towards you, his look of concerned concentration turning to one of relief.
"Well, this is awkward,” you chuckled. “I take it you found the prisoners then?” The Doctor smiled sheepishly, trudging up to the side of the tub as you and Donna approached.
“I did, yeah. But that’s all thanks to the goonies who caught me creeping around the halls. Thought I had escaped and threw me in here with the rest of them,” he explained. You did a little jog up to him to go in for a hug, and the Doctor almost jumped away from you.
“Don’t touch me!” he half yelled, startling everyone in the room, and you immediately drew your hands back, holding them close to your person.
“What the hell was that for?!” Donna shouted back. “Scared the whole room half to death, what’s your problem?” The Doctor let out a sigh and walked back up to the edge of the tub again.
“I know, I’m sorry. But this stuff we’re all sitting in, Fideon Prime, is highly toxic. Well, it’s highly contagious, the toxin actually takes a while to set in,” the Doctor explained in his usual, rambling fashion.
“What exactly does it do?” you asked, half afraid of the answer. Who knows how long he had been standing in that stuff.
“It’s absorbed, and once you’ve been in contact with it, it seeps into your skin and feeds off blood, slowly poisoning your bloodstream and uh … "The Doctor dropped his voice to a barely-there whisper. ”Well … it kills you from the inside. And if you’re in contact with it for long enough, just brushing up against another person will spread the toxin.“
"Oh yeah, that sounds like a great time,” Donna quipped, trying to fight back against how very real the situation just got. This was no longer just a rescue mission, and the Doctor was out of the game. There was a weird moment of silence as the weight hit you before you managed to open your mouth and find any words.
“H-how long have you been standing there?” you muttered. You looked up to meet the Doctor’s gaze, watching as his face fell, his eyebrows turning upwards, and his eyes so full of emotion.
“Long enough.” This time, there was a long pregnant pause before the Doctor said anything else. “Like I said, highly contagious. That’s why … why I can’t touch you,” he finished. The two of you held each other’s gaze, and in this little exchange, you didn’t need to say a word to know exactly what the other was thinking.
After a bombshell like that, you wanted nothing more than for the Doctor to hold you like he always did in times like this, when he could tell just how scared you were despite anything you did to conceal it. You wanted him to wrap you in his arms and pull you close, allowing the beating of his two hearts to calm you, maybe resting his cheek on the top of your head as he stroked your hair. But instead, he was standing on the wrong side of that tub of goo, wishing that he hadn’t been so careless. Hoping he could be helping the two of you fix this rather than becoming part of the problem.
“So … what do we do now?” Donna asked quietly. “I mean, it’s just the two of us, that’s going to make things much more difficult."
"And we’re on a crunch for time,” the Doctor admitted, looking at his watch. “They’re scheduled to dock in half an hour, and if they dock with us on board, it’s going to be a lot harder to make it out. Not to mention that we’ll only have about that much time before the toxin takes over enough of their bloodstreams, and the lot of them will start going into hypovolemic shock.”
“Oh, but not you?” Donna quipped.
“Timelord,” the Doctor answered simply. There would be time for a whole biological explanation later, but there were better things to do with their time right now.
“Okay, let me get this straight; we have to find a way to decontaminate all of you and stop the ship from docking, and we’ve only got thirty minutes. No sonic screwdriver, and no Doctor,” you stated, feeling the rush of adrenaline start to kick in. This was getting down to the wire, which, of course, was how the three of you usually did things.
“Well, I wouldn’t say no Doctor,” he answered, cocking his head to the side as he gave you a cocky smile. “I might not be able to touch you, but I’m bound to be good for something."
"Well, at least there’s that,” you sighed, grinning back at him.
“I mean … what if we just tell them what’s gonna happen to the prisoners? Clearly they’re keeping them for a reason, they might decontaminate them, leaving us to figure out how to stop from docking?” Donna suggested.
“They’re not going to care,” the Doctor shot down. “They just need bodies, doesn’t matter who they are, or whether they’re dead or alive."
"How do we even go about decontaminating you? Is there some kind of antidote?” You asked, trying to solve at least one problem.
“There is an antidote, Khrelan, which they have on the ship since they aren’t immune to Fideon Prime either. They talked about having left it in the cellar when they dropped me in here."
"Great! Where’s the cellar?”
“No idea,” he answered. “But there should be a diagram of the ship down the hall where you can look for it. And once you find it, you’re going to need to run it through the filtration system in the room. Which, if they’re halfway competent, you should only have to flip the right switches to get it working."
"I’m not touching any more switches,” Donna cut in. “Last time I accidentally shut the lights off on the whole level."
"That was you?” The Doctor asked excitedly, his voice going up an octave. “They thought it was a power outage, it’s why they left in the first place! That was brilliant!” Donna smiled, doing a small bow, which made you chuckle.
“Alright, well if you’re not going to do the switches, I guess decontamination will be my job,” you sighed. “I’ll go ahead and figure out where I’m going and get down there while you two figure out how to stop us from docking.” You turned to leave, but the Doctor called after you. Turning to look at him in the doorway, he looked like he was struggling to figure out what to say, which was a rarity.
“Just … be careful out there. Wouldn’t want you dumped in here with me,” he tried. “I mean, not that I don’t want you with me, but just not-"
"I know what you meant,” you giggled. “I’ll be alright."
"You better,” he said softly. He seemed more at ease at your reassurance, and after leaving him with a hopeful smile, you turned and left the room. The Doctor kept his gaze on the doorway for a few moments after you’d left, and when he turned back to Donna, she was already looking at him in annoyance. “What did I do now??”
“When we get out of this, if you don’t tell her how you feel, I swear I’m gonna hurt you,” she sassed. “I can’t handle all your wavering looks and your goo-goo eyes-”
“I don’t make goo-goo eyes!” Donna gave him a look that made his shift on his feet a little, which was a little more challenging to do considering the goo. “And I’m not having this conversation with you, you still have to stop the ship from docking.” Eager to change the subject, the Doctor was more than happy to concoct a plan with Donna instead.
You had managed to find your way down to the cellar on the level below, having to sneak around a couple of goonies you came across stepping into the lift. The lights were still on in this level, and to your luck, the massive cellar was unoccupied. The bigger problem, however, was just how much was in the room.
It looked like a pirate ship and a steampunk zeppelin had a baby in space. Wooden barrels that smelled of liquor, steel barrels that smelled like oil, stacks of what appeared to be cannonballs scattered among them, and the walls were covered in many alien machines. The back of the room had a workbench amidst the clutter and a myriad of colored glowing bottles on the shelves to either side of it.
“Now just to find the Khrelan and the sprinkler system … piece of cake,” you whisper to yourself sarcastically. You checked your watch to find you only had fifteen minutes until docking. “No pressure …”
Somewhere in your search, you heard the door to the cellar hiss as it started to open, and you scrambled behind a couple of barrels to stay out of sight. A small group of the large troll-like creatures rushed in, frantically searching for something. One creature entered after them, holding his wrist in fear, a small glob of the Fideon Prime sitting in his hand. Knowing this would be your ticket to victory, you peeked around the barrel to watch them carefully.
On the other side of the room, one of the creatures ripped open a steel barrel, and the room was immediately illuminated in green light. The contaminated creature ran over to the barrel, all the others nearly jumping to get out of his way, as he dipped his hand into the barrel. They all sighed in relief, laughing and patting each other on the back. Well, that’s where the Khrelan is, apparently … now to find the sprinkler system.
You crept around the barrel you were hiding behind, shifting to try and get a better look, when you knocked over one of the towers of cannonballs. You immediately snapped back behind the barrel, pleading to the universe that they hadn’t heard you. But of course, that would have made things easy. Instead, the room fell silent as the creatures took notice of the loose cannonballs.
Their heavy footsteps were slow and calculated, and you could hear them getting closer to you. You were not only outnumbered, but you were about to be surrounded as steps started filling your ears from every side. Your brain was working faster than it ever had before, desperate to think if a way out, and the only thing faster was your heartbeat. You put a hand over your mouth to try and make yourself quieter, watching the shadows in the green light get larger as they approached you.
As if by the grace of the universe, the ship lurched violently, and a bunch of sirens started going off. That must be Donna … Either having forgotten about you or determining you weren’t as important as this new problem, the creatures made their way to the door. Peaking through the barrels, you counted as they all left the room in a hurry, the door sealing behind them and leaving you on your own.
You gave a heavy sigh of relief, slumping against the wooden barrel and catching your breath. But you only gave yourself a few moments to relax, there was simply not enough time. Rechecking your watch, you were now down to five minutes before things got bad.
Scampering to the other side of the room, you approached the steel container glowing green and glanced around for any signs of a sprinkler system. Sure enough, above the other containers, you noticed a clear hose, which was glowing orange, connected to a box up the wall.
“I hope this works,” you sighed, moving to disconnect the hose from the Fideon Prime and latch it onto the Khrelan. This, of course, was quite a process since you had to keep from touching the orange goo, lock it into another container, all while the sirens gave you no reprieve. Managing to secure it together, you checked your watch. Two more minutes …
You climbed up onto the steel containers to flip the switches on the machine, being thrown back down to the ground as the ship gave another violent lurch. Donna better be doing something right, because this is making my job a hell of a lot harder. A minute down, and you were finally back up on the containers face to face with the panel. Now was only a matter of flipping the right switch …
You tried reading the labels, but they were far too smudged to be read in the dark, leaving you nothing to go off of. Thirty seconds left, and you were playing a guessing game. A green switch did the opposite of what you wanted, the goo moving back into the container.
Fifteen seconds and the red switch only made a buzzing noise but didn’t take the Khrelan through.
Eight seconds to go, and you hoped to everything good that the blue switch was going to do the job.
Five seconds to go, and you latched onto the switch as the ship lurched, pulling it down with everything you had as you were thrown back to the ground.
Three seconds to go, and you watched the system whir and a light start to go off. The sirens around you changed to a different sound, and you hoped it meant something good.
At the last moment, you watched as the Khrelan started to rush through the tubes and up through the sprinkler system. Laying back down in victory, you laughed, releasing some of the tension that had built up inside of you. This time, now that the decontamination was in progress, you allowed yourself a little bit more time to catch your breath.
“This is not your captain speakin’,” Donna’s voice sang over the intercom system. “Due to some schedulin’ issues, this ship won’t be docking today. Not with all you extra passengers on board! I sure hope the lot of you are decontaminated because we’re getting out of here!"
As Donna made her announcement, you started laughing uncontrollably, the biggest smile on your face. This moment was what you lived on. Sure, you hated cutting it down to the wire. But the reward of pure joy the moment you succeeded is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. You swore that the Doctor was addicted to that feeling-
"Doctor!” you shouted in realization, shooting up from your spot on the floor and sprinting back up to the holding cell.
Donna had beat you back to the holding cell and was chatting with the Doctor as they got showered with the green Khrelan. It gave the room a pretty glow as if drops of light were raining down on them and dissolving the orange goo they had been standing in.
“You remember what you promised, yeah? Cause I’m not letting you out of this one,” Donna started pointedly. The Doctor rolled his eyes.
“She’s not even in the room yet, would you leave me alone?” he sassed. “I’m going to do it, just -” The Doctor stopped in mid-sentence when he saw you appear in the doorway, out of breath and hair a mess.
The two of you stopped for a moment to look at each other, relief written all over your faces. The Doctor donned a smile, and you couldn’t help but smile back at him. The two of you started racing towards each other, everyone else in the room becoming invisible as all that mattered was the two of you. You flung your arms around the Doctor’s neck, burying yourself in the crook of his neck as he spun you around, holding you as tight as he possibly could. You felt your feet touch the ground again, but the Doctor’s hold on you didn’t let up as the two of you relished in being able to hold each other again.
After a few moments, the two of you separated enough to look at each other, the Doctor cupping your face in one of his hands. You leaned into his touch, relishing in this sweet moment before it ended. But to your surprise, he continued to hold you, rubbing his thumb across your cheek. His expression was soft, and he looked like he was contemplating something. You closed your eyes in an attempt to avoid saying something stupid, focusing on his tight hold on you instead.
You felt his nose brush up against yours ever so lightly, his forehead resting against yours. Your heart was beating faster than it ever had before as your brains started to play different scenarios in your head. You quietly anticipated his next move, keeping perfectly still so as not to discourage anything. And although you certainly hoped it would happen, you were still utterly shocked when you felt a pair of soft lips against your own.
Your whole body suddenly felt like it was floating. You kissed the Doctor back, lips moving in perfect rhythm together, soft and gentle yet oh so full of emotion. You realized that this wasn’t just out of excitement, he didn’t just kiss you because you were the closest one. This meant something to him. It was evident in the way he held you with such tenderness that every move he made was calculated like he’d thought about this moment just as many times as you had.
You couldn’t hear anything other than your heart pounding in your chest, the world around you having faded away. When you pulled back for a breath, his lips were quick to find yours again, his passion intoxicating and never fading.
“Alright, when I said kiss her I didn’t mean I wanted to watch the two of you shove your tongues down each other’s throats,” Donna groaned, quickly bringing the two of you back to reality. The two of you broke apart to look at her. Your brain hadn’t started functioning normally after that world-shattering kiss, so you just kind of stared at her blankly for a few moments.
“And there goes that moment,” the Doctor sighed exasperatedly, giving Donna an annoyed expression. You looked up at him, seeing him in a whole new light. You saw the green light around the room dancing in his eyes, the light freckles that sprinkled his cheeks, the way his jaw moved as he sassed Donna. You imagined what it would be like to plant light kisses there, paying no attention to what the two of them were saying.
The Doctor looked back down at you, catching you in the act of admiring his features, causing a smile to spread across his face. You smiled back, giving a soft giggle as you slowly came back to reality, the chattering of the room filling your ears.
“What’s going on in that head of yours?” The Doctor asked, resting an arm across your shoulder as you took a moment to gather your thoughts.
“Can we do that more often?” you asked, still sort of dazed. The Doctor gave a hearty laugh that echoed through the room, and you giggled with him.
“I figured we’d be doing that a lot from now on,” he admitted. You did a little victory fist pump, and the three of you laughed as the Doctor placed a sweet kiss on your temple.

Jen x Kira :D for the OTP meme
Thanks @heartxofxthra! They’re the OG OTP! Again it’s under the cut because it was a little long, but I hope you like it!
who gets overwhelmed by small acts of kindness?
Jen. Growing up with the mystics was in a lot of ways a wonderful childhood, and Jen never felt a lack of love. However, the urru could be reserved and cryptic, and although they meant well, Jen is a bit unfamiliar with open displays of kindness and affection. Kira on the other hand was raised among the podlings who are very demonstrative. So, when she shows in small gestures, kindnesses, and words how much she loves him, his heart swells and he is reminded of one of the multitude of reasons he fell for her to begin with.
who flinches at sudden movements?
Though Kira might flinch if the movement is particularly abrupt or unexpected, for the most part her life with the podlings, and always being on the run from the garthim, has given her an almost unflappable demeanor.
Jen is more likely to flinch at every single small and sudden movement because growing up with the mystics he wasn’t used to seeing anything move very quickly.
who has to constantly check their S.O. still loves them?
Jen sometimes doesn’t feel like he understands how things, relationships, are supposed to work. He knows he loves Kira but he knows how amazing she is, and he worries that she’s only with him because there’s no one else. This idea scares him because he doesn’t want to lose her, but he also doesn’t want to keep her if she’s unhappy. So, he’s always checking in looking for a little reassurance that their relationship is good and that she loves him.
Kira usually just laughs, kisses him, and asks if that answers his question.
who says the other/s would be better off with someone else?
Neither of them would say this. Both are just always so grateful to have someone else, someone they think is amazing, someone they love and who loves them back. Though they each definitely have their insecurities and moments of doubt, their relationship is built on a strong mutual respect and a steadfast partnership.
who gets surprised when they are given gifts?
Kira is always surprised and very touched when Jen gives her gifts. Usually he gives her things made by hand, things he learned to make from the urru. They’re always beautiful and well crafted, and she swears she can feel the love that went into them just by looking at them. It’s also particularly special to Kira because as a childling gifts were a rarity and almost never things without a practical use. Her family was constantly on the run from the garthim and being able to carry what you owned on your back to the next safe place was critically important. Since Jen healed the crystal she gets to cherish those new small luxuries.
who is most likely to break down on the other and how does their S.O. attempt to calm them down?
They’ve both broken down on the other before. They have lived through hard things, each of them, and being able to share their emotions and vulnerabilities helps them cope and move forward. When Kira breaks down, Jen holds her and tries to make her laugh, tries to get her mind on anything else. When Jen is the one breaking down, Kira makes him sit or lay down with her so she can stroke his hair and tell him how much she loves him until he’s calm again.
who is most self conscious in public?
Jen is more likely to be shy, nervous, or self conscious in public or new settings. He’s never quite sure that he’s doing things right. That doesn’t stop him from going out and enjoying himself though. Something about the crowds themselves heartens him. If Kira is with him, even better. She makes him feel like he fits in wherever they are.
who is more likely to apologize a million time for a tiny mistake?
Apologies are definitely more likely to come from Jen. His life was so drastically different from Kira’s and the one they share now that he still struggles to adjust to some of the norms and behaviors. He always acts with the best of intentions though so an ‘I’m sorry’ is ususally read and quick to come.
who admits they’re scared only when they think their S.O. is asleep and how does the other react?
Kira and Jen are really open about sharing their feelings. They take comfort and solace from being able to share their thoughts and experiences - to not have to go through them alone. So, neither really admits things only when they think the other is asleep.
Sometimes though Jen will wake Kira up in the middle of the night to share some fear, or thought, or dream. For her part, Kira sits up and listens, trying not to fall back asleep.
She only finds it a little annoying.
who never thinks they’re good enough for the other?
Jen is confused as to why Kira is with him everyday. He looks at her and sees the most wonderful, amazing person he’s ever known and just can’t understand how lucky he was to find her and how lucky that not only is he not alone now he gets to be together with Kira.
Kira can also get in moods where she feels insecure about her role in their relationship, but Jen is always there reminding her of how often she’s saved his life. So, yes he can read and do other things she can’t, but she knows and does so many other amazing things - things Jen doesn’t understand but is grateful Kira does.
who takes a bullet for the other?
Kira. This is canon. This is fact.
However, that’s not to say Jen wouldn’t given the chance. He would. Kira would just never give him that chance.

13. Favorite ships/pairings?
OH BOY.
So, @erickgage and I like to headcanon that the Warrior of Light totally ships their friends and tries really hard to wingman for them (with mixed results), because someone needs to be happy, darn it, and we are sillies when it comes to our fictional pals. So I will try to narrow this down to a few favorites.
I have a lot of ships, honestly. It just happens in my head, as a bit of an old fashioned silly romantic. It’s usually lowkey and focusing more on the romance and friendship aspects than the smutty side of things. Some of my fave ships I don’t even consider sex as a part of it, either not yet or at all. I just like the idea of old school romance and people being happy in love. I also like to see the concept of love as more than just romantic, and how people can love their friends and it’s just as important as other relationships.
I am also totally for multishipping; these are all headcanons and personal takes on things, after all, so as long as it’s decently written (with love and enthusiasm, not necessarily grammar or even plot) and characters are more or less somewhat kinda IC, I’m down. Anyway, I have my own sandbox to play in for my preferred ships, even if I go visit someone else’s now and then.
I guess I lean more and more to just platonic/found family/non-sexual pairings and relationships as I get older and more comfortable with my own identity, and the rarity anymore, it can often feel, of people just being allowed to exist in the same space and care for each other without things getting hot’n’heavy (not that I never wanna see things get sexy; smutty fic/RP is fun as an occasional flavoring if I am in a very specific mood for it anymore).
Fave romantic ships:I was lowkey shipping Kan-E and the hyur Keeper before this year’s Hatching Tide, when it went full blown “I ship it.” Just the backstory for them (in Kan-E’s Calamity story) sets up a popular trope all on its own. The guy needs a proper name and more screentime—given he’s a former Garlean conscript and the apparent direction of the plot, it may yet happen. It’s bound to be a bit of a difficult/tragic ship though, given Kan-E will always look like a teenager, even though she’s currently something like 28 years old, and will likely live for a couple hundred years besides. Pining/slow burn is fun, so I don’t mind.
Nanamo and Pipin: Raubahn is twice their ages and has known Nanamo since she was a little girl so I can’t get on that ship, but now that the sultana gets to work closely with his son, who is much closer in age and the handsomest lalafell man ever and without the homeland conflict of the Bull himself, well…look, the House of Ul will need to continue, it’s a ruler’s duty, and what better consort than her new Flame General? Just sayin’.
I main Bard; Sanson and Guydelot are our OTP. Even their monikers—the Stiff and the Spent—are suggestive and go together. I love Team Bard, even (especially) when they’re being idiots–in general and about each other. I am fairly certain Jehantel stuck them together on purpose. The only possible bar is Sanson is the senior officer in the bard unit, but it’s not like Guydelot cares much for regulations; the man doesn’t even wear a proper Adder uniform.
As for the other ranged class, Machinist, gimme some Stephanivien and Joye. One of my fave fics on Ao3 is a cute fluffy sleepy fic with them two. Highborn elezen lord and commoner hyur servant-turned-marksman instructor, yep it’s tropey but I don’t care and the way it’s written (at least in English) seems to infer some regard between them.
I’m a silly Estinien/Ysayle shipper, even though it makes no real sense in canon given the way he treats her, because 3.0 Estinien is a jerk and straight up nasty to Ysayle especially. Yet there’s something about the way he begins to see her viewpoint and becomes kinder as the truths are revealed, even as her beliefs are shattered, and he comes to respect her–and he is really the only one to give her any sort of memorial, in a later sidequest. @livvyplaysfinalfantasy has a really good summary of why Ysayle’s story arc is disappointing for such a great character.
I have two completely separate, conflicting, headcanons for Thancred and Y’shtola. One is that they have a casual friends-with-benefits set up; still friends and trusting colleagues, just occasionally sleeping together, mostly for stress relief and comfort/safety/familiarity. I just don’t see them in a full blown romance with one another, but they are close. Partly cuz I also headcanon Y’shtola as some flavor of ace/aro, more committed to her work and colleagues than concerned with romance or physical relationships in general, but for all his shenanigans, Thancred would also be “safe” and understanding, and not expecting or wanting more, while the same would be true vice versa for him—especially after the Flow spell. I read others’ fics to satisfy that version of the pairing, when I am in the odd mood.
Fave non-romantic/non-sexual at all:The second Thancred and Y’shtola pairing headcanon I have is a platonic, sibling-like friendship and working relationship built up over the years; that is the one I tend to write about and use for my own stories. No funny business here.
Thancred and Minfilia are a great found family pairing, and their separation is heartbreaking. He’s felt responsible for her for fifteen years, and if he could have followed her to the First, he would have without a second thought. I wish we got to see a bit more of it in game, but what we did get was pretty good.
(in general, the main Scions give me a “found family” vibe and are mostly platonic in my head)
Alphinaud and Alisaie are fun together and I can’t wait until we’re back to them twinning across Eorzea; a big part of Coils was how they are stronger together than apart. While they should definitely have their own lives and interests, seeing them side by side supporting and looking out for each other is always a treat.
The Aymeric and Estinien war buddy bond speaks to me, especially with the differences in personality complimenting each other in a similar way to the twins above. I don’t personally romantically ship it, though definitely see how others do; for me, as a former soldier, I get the battle brothers feels. They were two lonely young men with a lot of crap in their background, finding someone else to rely on. S’good stuff either way.
This is getting long so I should really stop now.

A COURT OF WINGS AND RUIN - Pre-Release Discussion
So ACOWAR, the third and final book in Sarah’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, is coming out soon. And I thought I should make a post discussing all my theories, and everything I’d like to happen in this book.
I do know that there will be novellas and some spin-off novels but when I say final, I mean the final book told from Feyre’s POV. Sarah did say that Rhys and Feyre’s character arc would be over by ACOWAR.
Anyway, onward with the discussion!
I’d like to discuss the things I’d like to happen first in this book and the likelihood of those things happening:
So since, I assume from the final chapters of ACOMAF, ACOWAR will be told alternate from Rhys and Feyre’s POV’s I think we’ll get to see the interactions going on at both the Spring and Night courts. So what do I want see?
Well for one, I want to see more interaction between the Inner Court and Feyre’s sisters. Particularly Nesta x Cassian interaction. Because they’re OTP.
I would also love to see Mor and Amren interact with Nesta and Elain, I feel those conversations would be interesting. A little heart to heart maybe?
I want to see Elain stand up for herself. Right now, she seems to be operating under the shade of Nesta’s umbrella of protection. But I want to see Elain make a decision that Nesta doesn’t approve of, (choosing to mate with Lucien, ahem ahem) and sticking with that decision because its hers. I just feel like underneath all that sweetness, Elain could be such a badass.
Lucien/Elain interaction. I want to see how Lucien’s sharp edges will clash with Elain’s softer, sweeter self.
A loving scene between Rhys and Feyre wherein Feyre draws or paints Rhys is very welcome. Please Sarah. My heart needs this.
I want to hear more about Rhys’ sister. We hear about his mother, but not his sister. We don’t even know her name. I hope Sarah will get into depth about her.
I want to see some badass humans. It’s something I doubt we’ll see, but all I hear is how humans are usually weak and afraid and blah blah. But what I want to see is a human who has zero fear for the fae, can hold their own against them in a fight, and takes no crap from them. That would be amazing.
MOR AND AZRIEL LOVE. PLEASE SARAH
I want to visit other courts, or even the lands beyond Prythian.
Nesta and Elain being as powerful as any High Lord. The two of them having mind-blowing powers would be interesting.
Okay, let’s move on to theories, because guys, I have a LOT.
Feyre’s mom is alive. Possibly. I don’t know, I feel like she’s shady as hell. I feel like she has something to do with all of this.
I bet Myriam and Drakon will be in this book. They were mentioned in ACOMAF and I feel like they have a role to play.
Nesta’s going to be the one to kill Hybern. Right now, we might think that Rhys or Feyre will do it, but I think Nesta will. In that scene in ACOMAF where she sort of flips off Hybern, that scene was prophetic. SHE WILL END HYBERN WITH HER FIRE POWERS.
Tarquin will definitely make up with Rhys. He was a great dude, they’ll become allies. (yay)
Cassian and Nesta are MATESSSSS
Lucien will be on Feyre’s side. He’ll convert I’m sure. Feyre will convert him to #TeamNightCourt
Some say Feyre’ll be pregnant. Now I doubt this theory, but it is possible. Sarah discusses childbirth and the rarity of it a bit. Also during that scene with The Bone Carver, Feyre sees an eight-year old boy with black hair and blue eyes. At first I thought it was young Rhys, but with this theory, possibly he could be the future son. Future High Lord.
I also bet we’ll catch a glimpse of the wings of Rhys’ mom and sister. It’s going to be at the Spring Court. IN TAMLIN’S ROOM I BET. THAT ASSHOLE.
We’ll finally get to see what Rhys’ beast form is. Maybe Feyre’ll be trapped or something and Rhys will yield to the beast to save her.
Lastly, I have here a list divided into three groups: People who BETTER NOT DIE, NEUTRAL, and THEY BETTER DIE.
BETTER NOT DIE:
Rhys
Feyre
Mor
Azriel
Cassian
Nesta
Elain
Lucien
Amren
NEUTRAL:
Tarquin
Cresseida
Varian
Tamlin
THEY BETTER DIE:
Hybern
Jurian
Kier
Ianthe
Erawan opps wrong series

lucian fluff meme
Who’s more likely to find who wearing their clothes?: Lucy wears Ian’s clothes occasionally, like his boxers sometimes and his shirts. It’d probably be a tad weird if Ian wore Lucy’s (but he’s also probably tried to figure out how to fit his feet in her heels too.)
Who enunciates hand holding?: It’s a healthy mix of both.
Who likes having their hair washed by who?: Ian likes a free head massage too but he also likes taking care of Lucy.
Who likes to slow dance?: We all know Ian’s that secret sap that always pulls Lucy to the dance floor. He’s classically trained, he’s got to show off to his girl.
Muse that’s more likely to fall asleep with their head in the others lap?: Ian’s head in Lucy’s lap.
Muse that does all the cuddling in a blanket fort?: Lucy’s a cuddle monster.
Who hogs most of the covers at night?: Lucy. Ian’s lucky if he gets any.
Muse who nuzzles the others shoulder to get them to give them a head rub?: Both, but mostly Lucy because she needs affection 24/7.
How do they share a desert? Two forks or one?: Two forks. They don’t share food.
Who gets jealous more easily?: Lucy, but Ian isn’t just as quick to show his.
Who gets angered more easily?: Lucy, it takes a lot to rile up Ian. Lucy’s temper scares Ian so he tries to keep the peace.
How do they go to sleep at night?: Lucy holding onto Ian as tightly as possible with their dogs all over the bed (and Wilbur to Ian’s chagrin)
Who gets the most shoulder rubs?: Both. They both like massages.
What are there arguments/fights like? How often do they fight?: Lucy and Ian rarely fight and when they do, it lasts about ten minutes. It has to be something big they both disagree on, or a bad mood they take out on each other but it’s a rarity.
Who is more likely to throw things in fights?: Lucy probably but I don’t think she’d put much effort into it.
How do they make it up to each other/apologize after an argument?: Ian will cook Lucy something or flowers or sappy speech and then lots of lots of make up sex.
Do they have nicknames for each other?: Shmian and Goose.
Caring for each other while ill, how does the other muse go about it?: Lucy really gets into her nurse duties but gets tired of Ian’s drama king schtick real quick. Ian’s lazy but he makes sure Lucy is hydrated and rested.
Who’s more likely to be patching the others wound?: They’re not really accident prone but I guess Lucy for Ian?
Muse that says ‘I told you so’, after they come home from the beach and other muse is burnt to a crisp while whining how bad it hurts for not listening and putting on sunblock after the other muse repeatedly told them they’d get burnt?: Lucy. Ian never listens and ALWAYS burns. What a white boy.
Your otp has a newborn baby, who gets up in the middle of the night when he/she cries?: Lucy has to feed Mason, but Ian will wake up to keep her company.
Your muse’s of the otp reaction to finding the others crying about something? And how do they make them feel better?: Ian sees red when Lucy’s hurt and it’s one of the few times his temper can get the better of him. He’ll do whatever it takes to make his Goose smile again.
What would they be like as parents?: Always learning, always loving.
What would they have been like as childhood sweethearts?: Ian was definitely the nerdy best friend who fell for his popular best friend who slowly noticed him after a lot of jerks who broke her heart. High school sweethearts, separated in college, reunited after years apart and were better than ever.
Who enunciates taking a bath together?: They’re more into showering together but I can see Lucy suggesting this.
Who likes who playing with their hair?: Ian likes to play with Lucy’s hair.
The place they mostly likely accidentally fall asleep together?: Mason’s nursery floor, on the couch with the animals.

Excuse me but what is secretshipping?
No worries at all! c: Secretshipping is the name I gave to my oc otp, the relationship between Dove and Srentha! I took the style of naming a ship “[element of the relationship]-shipping” after the Yugioh fandom, wherein every relationship has their own unique name. For Dove and Srentha, secrets were a huge part of their lives, and later their relationship as well. Most important are the moments when the secrets they kept from each other come out, secrets they’ve only shared with each other, because the trust they have together is a rarity in their lives. Hence, naming them “secretshipping”!
They have a tag on this blog (just tagged as “secretshipping”)....
https://beyondthetemples-ooc.tumblr.com/tagged/secretshipping
...as well as a long-winded writing collection over on Srentha’s blog:

It’s a pretty long story (currently standing at a few hundred pages!), but I’ll try to summarize. If you’re at all interested, here’s their story!
I’ve posted bits and pieces online. Srentha’s bio contains a lot of information: https://highpriest-in-training.tumblr.com/bio

And now, the WHOLE story....
As children: Dove was completely hidden from absolutely everyone by her mother due to a terrible secret about her father (fearing that their society would hate Dove merely for existing, her mother wanted to spare her that hatred). Srentha was a mystical prodigy who spent most of his life learning and studying, socializing mostly with other (adult) mystics. One day, while Srentha’s grandfather visited Dove’s mother, Srentha crept away and discovered Dove hiding, after a moment of curiosity and anxiety they began to talk, and when Dove told him nobody was supposed to know she was there, he played along, and kept the secret, initially thinking it was a game. Dove didn’t want her mother to worry that someone had discovered her, and Srentha wanted to feel included in this “game”, but they also wanted to keep in contact, somehow. Employing midnight outings as well as messenger doves, they could only rarely meet, but cherished each other’s friendship.
A genocidal tragedy separated them around age 14, and Dove fled their home to escape. Srentha tried to follow her, but wound up transported somewhere entirely different. When Srentha returned to find their home destroyed, he spent six or seven years trying to track Dove down, traveling whenever he had the strength and never giving up the search.
As he tells her later on: “I got over losing Azarath. But I didn’t get over losing you.”
But, as you may have guessed, one day he finally, finally FINALLY really DOES manage to track her down! And he is absolutely ELATED! Dove can’t believe he’s really HERE; she thought he’d died with everyone else! But as anyone who has been separated for so many formative years can tell you, six years of growing up is a long time to be gone. They soon find out that they’re not quite the same people they were as children. Dove is far calmer, but also a lot quieter and more withdrawn. Srentha’s once-unshakable confidence was rocked to the core by the sudden shift his life had taken. And at first they don’t know how to handle this change.
But their bond withstands all the revelations, and they find that, once they get used to them, they don’t mind the changes.
Eventually Srentha asks enough questions that Dove tells that dark terrible secret that has been looming over her all her life, desperately afraid that he, of all people, might reject her... but after a span of shock and contemplation, he reassures her, promising that he could never hate her for it. Later, Srentha reveals his secret insecurity, a rather raw and vulnerable place in his heart, revealing that even with all his magical power, the people around him believed in his magic, but they never believed in HIM. All he ever wanted was to be someone important, to do something that leaves a mark on the world, but all the leaders in his life ever saw was an upstart dreamer. Dove shows him her acceptance more slowly, but she supports him steadily enough that he finally starts to believe in his own dreams again. Even in their darkest moments, they find that they’re still sticking together, supportive and secure, moving forward to better days together.
They also endure so many struggles together, mystical and mundane. The biggest conflict arises when Srentha starts making romantic gestures, and Dove is terrified to realize she might be falling in love with him! A part of Dove will always be terrified of what happens when she experiences strong emotions, because her power can become very dangerous. Especially so with her telepathy; her mind is extremely powerful, and her power tends to forge connections to those she loves. Luckily her strongest connection had always been with her equally strong sister who could fend off any accidental telepathic blows... but other minds aren’t as resilient. Not to mention: Dove doesn’t know what to DO about love. It’s new, it’s strong, and it’s terrifying to her.
Embarrassed and afraid, Dove withdraws to try processing this new sensation. Which utterly confuses Srentha, and he coaxes her to talk about it, sharing his feelings with joy and excitement. But Dove responds with cold denial-- and that’s all it is really, denial, because she doesn’t know what else to do. Her defense mechanism has always been denial when she doesn’t know what else to do.
But Srentha isn’t one to be so easily dissuaded. Gently but persistently, he took steps to show her that it was OKAY to be in love. He talked her through her worries and fears, he made plans and ran experiments with her to figure out just how safe it was, just in case, and his dedication alone showed her that maybe, being so deep in love wouldn’t drown her after all.
Even after they resolve that, every step of their relationship brings its own struggles. Marriage is a big commitment. Intimacy terrifies Dove and confuses Srentha. Dove’s pregnancy gets pretty awful for awhile, but their daughter pulls through, just like her parents are known to do. And of course, parenting struggles, while raising a metaphysical daughter on Earth has its own unique challenges.
But the wonder of their relationship for me, personally, is in the way they push through such struggles TOGETHER. Dove is a very timid creature; Srentha always handles her very gently, but never sacrifices an ounce of love. Dove is very prone to fear when something goes wrong; Srentha’s optimism and positivity are a light in times of darkness. Dove is also very hopeful and sympathetic; when Srentha struggles with frustrations or projects, her calm quiet makes a great sounding board so he can talk through the problems. She’s quick to ask questions, or even make suggestions, that lend him a new angle. Srentha is always quick to offer a word of encouragement, Dove is quick to take an interest in things nobody else seems to care about.
They both fulfill needs in the other that nobody had ever done so WELL before! And they both take delight in helping the other solve their problems and move through their difficulties together, while learning to respect boundaries and always trying to feel out the other’s needs. They balance each other.
I could just go on and on and ON about these two, but I think that covers the basics. c: Feel free to ask if you have any more questions on them! As you can tell, I’m glad to talk about these two. Quite a lot, heh.
