Lady Alysannyra Ainsaph ♡

Paladin extraordinaire, self-appointed arbiter of everything, connoisseur of ambition, raging bisexual and most importantly the light of my life

what's in a kiss

stygian sun total eclipse. mc/aurynn. 805 words. gen. ty @stygiansun-totaleclipse for the new brainrot that is aurynn and this IF :)

The first time she kissed him, she had all the confidence in the world. He was there, laughing, beautiful, and most importantly, under her command. She wouldn't force anything, of course, but the way he’d been looking at her told her he wouldn't refuse. She watched his form, clothed in shadow and fire from a nearby torch. He almost looked like a deity. 

She’s never been afraid of a little divinity, with all the golden ichor under her skin.

“I want to kiss you, Aurynn,” she said. The night was warm, surprisingly quiet. She wondered how far the sound of their kiss would go. Her hand snuck around his waist. 

“I am all yours, my lady,” he chuckled and leaned in. She swore she could feel his smile against her lips. It was war, true, but they’d managed to find a corner of calm.

Right now, she wishes she could recall the ease of that memory. It’s not long after her return from the decisive defeat against Celestyl, even less time after she watched her siblings’ bodies burn in funeral pyres. Alysannyra Al’Teia who kissed Aurynn Anouar seemingly a lifetime ago is not the same woman who now watches him from a corner of her eye, up to her fucking neck in correspodence. His gloves hands are empty save for his weapon. His face is framed by a smile.

Part of her envies how he stayed the same. She logically knows he didn’t, as he was there with her, but at least he’s not letting it show. She fears she is. The thought makes her angry. 

“I do not think that letter is your enemy, Nyra,” Aurynn calls out, leisurely coming to her side.

She squints. “Maybe it is. The fucker who sicced those beasts on Parim, perhaps. The fiend who made Aurora’s ship sink.”

“The worst thing this poor little letter has ever done is give someone a papercut,” he replies, irreverent, and she wants to make him see reason, make him see the cause of her anger. “Hey. Your eyes are strangely intense. Put them away or you might burn a hole through me. A guy tries to be the voice of reason and look what he gets. Rude.”

Nyra takes a deep breath. “I’m sorry, Aurynn,” she looks down at the unfinished letter. Sun beats her over the head like a whip, she doesn’t recall when she’s last eaten a full meal, and her heart hurts. “I am simply.. Not in a good mood, I guess.”  

“Take a break, maybe. This sun is killing us all. This papercut soldier can wait.” 

Nyra looks up and lifts her eyebrows. “Don’t let her know, but I think Samira’s rubbing off on you.”

“Goddess forbid!” 

Samira turns her head to look at both of them. She looks exasperated. “Goddess forbid, indeed.” 

Nyra puts her quill down and stretches in her seat. “Before you people get too similar on me, Samira, can you go ask for tea and something to eat? Put some distance between you and Aurynn?” 

“Do you promise to actually eat it this time?” Samira asks, almost innocently. 

Nyra huffs. “Go, Samira.” She likes using the commanding, imperious voice. It makes her feel more in control than she is of her head right now. Samira bows her head and goes to do as asked. 

Aurynn’s warm body lingers by Nyra’s shoulder. She watches the faded scars on his exposed skin, the fall of his long hair. This is the same Aurynn who saved her life when she was young and dumb, the same Aurynn who she’d kissed with all the confidence in the world.

It would be far too easy to seek comfort in him like this. They’re alone in the garden. She can’t quite explain this tug in her chest, but her throat burns with words she knows she doesn’t deserve. 

His fingers dance on her covered shoulder. Quiet descends on them with a sense of urgency.

She takes, in the end. If she wraps her weakness in steel, it might be more becoming. “Kiss me, Aurynn,” she commands. He looks at her and tilts his head. 

For a moment, she thinks he might turn her down. He has every right to, but the tug in her chest grows incessant, needy. 

“Of course,” he says simply, leans down and meets her lips with his. He doesn’t smile this time, but there’s something in the way he angles her head towards him. 

This means nothing, of course. She certainly isn’t in love with him, though it’s hard to not be charmed. She's just a different Alysannyra, but he’s the same Aurynn. In his lips she finds the woman she was before her siblings died. 

It is far more than she deserves, but she has to try. 

Punishment compliments the taste of comfort well.

wip whenever

i was tagged by @astraphone ages ago and i had no wip but i'm working on a lil prompt for my main blog, and well. have some guild wars and my beloved daughter, alysannyra and her husband trahearne!

“Hearne,” she asks, her voice not leaving room for refusal, “am I a vile thing?”  He raises his head from a book he’s reading. He’s on the opposite end of the living room; his ability to ignore the glass astounds her for a moment. It must have echoed terribly for him. She didn’t quite hear it over the wave of bombs in her head.  “Do you want me to tell you what I think or do you want me to echo your thoughts at you?” Trahearne asks, putting the book down. His eye stares Nyra down, calm, unrelenting. Her nostrils flare at the audacity, almost.  “What you think,” she says in a low voice. “Gods know I hear enough of my own bullshit.”  “You do what this world, and more importantly, your ego, requires of you,” he explains. “I don’t think that makes you entirely vile.”  “Beautifully detailed,” she replies. “I like how you leave some room for my crimes against the world.”  “Is that why you broke the glass? Your crimes against the world?”

wip whenever

i was tagged by @lilas for a wip whenever like a week ago, but didn't do it bc i had no wip (i do two now but one is an art trade w/ a mutual!) so here's a personal one :)

it's a gw2 fic - this excerpt isn't spoilery though! and it's for my beloved, my dottir & my main, alysannyra. thought i'd give you a lil showcase/introduction of who she is actually <3

tagging: @astraphone, @thevikingwoman, @scionshtola, @antariies, @archesa, @coldshrugs and anyone else who sees this and wants to participate!!

So when he feels this way, he turns to Nyra. She stands tall, proud, indomitable and entirely mad. Her eyes shine with something wild and barely restrained, like fate itself had carved a chasm in her soul so now she’s trying to rebuild it back with parts of the real world. She attracts attention wherever she goes and people flock to her like moths to flame. From a distance, she looks radiant. Up close, Zaeim wonders when she’s going to burn out entirely.  She can’t seem to fight off a sunburn from days in the sands and amongst the army. Her hair, short, messy and in constant disarray, has lightened to a near blonde, a contrast to the areas of her face that caught the beginnings of a tan. She has growing dark circles under her eyes and ever-present dirt beneath her nails, be it blood or tar or whatever else. Comfortable tunics she wears are more filled with creases and dust by the day, patched where they’d gotten nicked in the fights with Awakened. She hardly looks like their leader, Zaeim thinks, as worn out and bitter and restless as everyone else.  He knows deep down, however, that it is her light this whole thing is centered around. And so, he can’t look away. Especially not when they’re discussing tactics, when she’s explaining things in that strangely accented Elonian of hers, or when she settles on a decision and cuts a clear line in the sand. I have listened to your suggestions. From this point on, you are with me or against me.  Hardly anyone dares oppose her.

hi! i play gw2 as my main mmo to this day and i love it so very much it makes me weep. my main of like... seven years is honestly the lady of my heart and i would like to show her off (she even has her own tag here as #nyraposting on side)

her name is alysannyra ainsaph, she's a guardian (firebrand/dragonhunter) and she's a human of proud ascalonian descent! she's also the commander and all that it entails, right!

she is also very ambitious, very devoted to herself and her own glory in a paladin-esque sense, has a god complex and ego the size of the world. doesn't know when to stop and has the moral compass that's like. firm but also self-oriented in a very weird way. she's devout, in an equally weird way.

she's very bisexual and married to trahearne. she's my everything and i would kill and maim for her.

bonus points for my wol, nika, in gw2 where he's a descendant of the hero of nightfall, of krytan + orrian descent, also maybe a sunspear

Friend bringing up that Guild Wars 2's newest expansion came out this week and m a n that was literally my first MMO!!

5+ years in that game until FFXIV, 18 max level characters (I know wtf), a fully dedicated tumblr blog (which I deleted this year RIP hero-of-tyria 2016-2024). Honestly, I could probably still tell people all the lore of the game since I engraved it into my brain for the purpose of RP--

Each time a new expansion comes out, I always like to catch up and see how things are going. I'm happy to see they finally update the story in patches that stay forever instead of "they're free for X amount of time and if you miss them you have to buy them" sorta deal. Also, instanced housing now!?

Anyways!! Something that I tend to think about and get nostalgic over.

I'd honestly love to see anyone's GW2 characters if anyone here happens to play! I'll share some of mine soonish :>

[redwayfarers]

In the offchance I'm on these days and I'm not on Nika, you can add me on Alysannyra Ainsaph @ Seraph, Dynamis!

She's my hopefully future paladin, so come say hi ☀️

five things that make me happy: 1. books and stories! i got to read so many good books this year that i never would've discovered if it wasn't for my studies; 2. nail care & art! i love a good manicure and it's so relaxing for me to do my nails even if i don't draw on them or anything, i just love taking care of my nails (and like. doing makeup and skincare too. i love taking care of myself that way) 3. guild wars 2 <3 comfort game, current obsession, been playing for like 7 years with the same main (plus some 8 more kiddos and two recreations of other beloved ocs, nika and cass). that main, alysannyra, is literally my everything and i love her so much; 4. act of creation/art in general, nuff said on that one, as my goal in life is to have a doctorate in the studies of literature; 5. my friends (and family obvs but friends are important too!) who i can't really live without (plus i've been lonely and friendless and it sucked so bad so i'm always thankful for my buds now)
