a starter for @empyrens - freya

In the end, the magic involved was rather simple. The cloak hasn't bound her since her death, and though there's a thin, almost imperceptible thread of magic connecting her to it, it was mere child's play to transform it into something else.

There's still a very faint connection to it, something that she can sense even though it has no real power over her anymore, but that's rather fitting for what she intends, isn't it?

'Freya', her voice is warm with affection, like the sunlight soaking into her wings, and she extends her hand to show Freya the single long feather attached to a cord in her hand with very little fuss. 'I want you to have this'.

the king is giving a festival !

i wish the walls were full of gold ,  i wish a lot of things .

sometimes i wonder what’s going on in that head of yours .

what are you doing ?  stop your pretending .

are you certain of your way ?

the way is clear ,  the light is good .

the woods are just trees ,  the trees are just wood .

are you really wearing that ?

it’s not what i wish ,  it’s what you wish .

i could’ve turned him into stone .  or a dog .  or a chair .

a small price to pay for what you stole from me .

well ,  that’s another story .  nevermind ,  anyway .

sorry ,  i’m still not mollified .

how could you do that ?

your father was no father ,  so why should you be ?

we’re starving ,  [ name ] !  don’t you understand that ?

we have to live ,  i don’t care how .

look what i found .  here ,  take this .

no ,  i can do this on my own .

it may be all in vain ,  you know .

i have no fear ,  nor no one should .

careful not to lose the way .

what’s your rush ?  you’re missing all the flowers .

look what you’re ignoring .

why do you think i asked you to do it in the first place ?

get me what i need  …  get me what i need !

you’d look pretty foolish .

i’d rather a wolf than you any day !

you shouldn’t be here ,  it’s not safe in these woods .

i was just trying to help .

we have one chance .  don’t you see that ?

i’m not sure i’m cut out to be a father .

if you can’t do this for yourself ,  can’t you at least do it for me ?

don’t you look lovely today ,  my dear ?

i brought your favorite .

i can’t believe i just did that .

wait a minute ,  i never thanked you .

i’m sorry .  i should’ve known better .

i had been so careful ,  i never had cared .

he made me feel excited ,  well  …  excited and scared .

they will not protect you the way they should .

nice is different than good .

isn’t it nice to know a lot  …  and a little bit not ?

oh ,  get your head out of the clouds !

i just need to catch  my breath .

aren’t you the lucky one ?

please don’t let them know that i’m here .

i’ve never lied to royalty before .

it’s not quite what i expected .

you’re free to do whatever pleases you .

steal what you can and run !

you’re back again ,  only different than before .

i never even reached home .

who cares ?  get it back .

get away from me with that ,  you fool .

i shouldn’t have yelled .

i will make things right ,  and we can carry on with our lives .

will you go ?  please .  go .

when the one thing you want  …  is the only thing out of your reach .

the woods can be a dangerous place .

i thought you were returning home !

do you mean you’re going to let me stay with you ?

perhaps it will take two of us to have this child .

i thought one was enough ,  it’s not true .  it takes two of us .

when the journey was tough ,  it took two of us .

at home i’d fear we’d stay the same forever .

what did i clearly say ?   what were you not to do ?

what have i been to you ?  what would you have me be ?

i embarrass you .  you are ashamed of me .

don’t you know what’s out there in the world ?

someone has to shield you from the world .  stay with me .

who out there could love you more than i ?

the world is dark and wild .

stay a child while you can be a child .

i gave you protection ,  and yet you disobeyed me .

where you’re going ,  no one will ever see you again .

whichever you pick ,  do it quick .

it’s fun to deceive when you know you can leave ,  but you have to be wary .

at home ,  they don’t care .  i’m better off there ,  where there’s nothing to choose so there’s nothing to lose .

wait ,  please !   i haven’t much time .

that makes no sense !

what is that you have in your hand ?!

i would recognize these beautiful eyes anywhere .

is that you ?  i’m blind ,  i can’t see .

you could’ve been killed !

i was just thinking of the greater good .

i don’t have the constitution .

as long as i can be no help ,  i’m going to hide .

i don’t know where they think they’re going .

this is who i truly am ,  my dear .

why did you run off ?

i will not come with you .

you leave me no choice .

i shouldn’t complain .

i’m not allowed to leave the palace unescorted .

if you’d like ,  you can come with me .

i shall not forget you ,  and how alive you’ve made me feel .

you’re hurting me !

stop ,  stop !  i said stop !

this is all my fault .

remorse will get you nowhere .

when you’re dead ,  you’re dead !

this is no time to be soft - hearted !

you’re responsible ,  you’re the one to blame .  it’s your fault !

you’re all liars and thieves .

you’ll just do what you do .

it doesn’t matter if we’re together or apart .

i’m sorry ,  i did a foolish thing .

i didn’t realize ,  i was being careless .  selfish .

you stole and got caught and did what you do !

i hated myself .  i ran away from my guilt and shame .

aren’t you making the same mistake ?

be better than me .

i knew you wouldn’t give up .

that doesn’t matter ,  now .

first ,  we’ll need a weapon .

i did not recognize you ,  what are you doing here ?

maybe i’m not your only love .

if you love me ,  why did you stray ?

i thought that if you were mine ,  i would never wish for more .

i was raised to be charming ,  not sincere .

i think you should go .

i’m glad you’re here to help me .

you are not alone .  no one is alone .

you’ll do nothing of the kind .

what he did was wrong .  he should be punished .

it’s not as easy as that .

who can say what’s true ?

believe me ,  no one is alone .

people make mistakes .  fathers ,  mothers ,  people make mistakes .

you decide what’s right .  you decide what’s good .

just remember ,  someone is on your side .  someone else is not .

i miss her ,  too .

how can i go about being a father when i had no father to show me ?

sometimes people leave you  …  do not let it grieve you ,  no one leaves for good .

things will be alright now .

'I wanted to get you something', it's said quietly, her lips curving in a small, soft smile, 'and I realize this isn't much. But we've been... dancing around the topic of gifts for a while now, haven't we?'

She'd wanted to remain anonymous, when she first started leaving good coffee for Spencer after they first mentioned how atrocious the coffee in the staff lounge was. But then someone started leaving her little boxes of tea, and she realized Spencer must've worked it out.

The wrapped present she slides across the desk towards Spencer is a little larger than the ones she's been leaving for them, a small, hand written card tucked beneath the neat bow. It's the card more than the gift itself she's a little nervous about Spencer reading, but she's hoping they'll do that once she's left. It's a little... sentimental, but isn't that the point of Christmas, after all? To let the people you care about know how you feel?

“I know things weren’t easy between us in the beginning, but…” Supergirl, perched on Lillian’s bedside at the medical bay, reaches gently for her hand to hold it. “You risked yourself to bring Cadmus down. What you did there was a brave thing to do and I admire you for it.” 

@amazonluthor​ | smol starter

For the first time, Lillian’s at a loss for what to do next. She’s spent so long working to bring Cadmus down that it’s almost like it’s left a void behind, now that she’s succeeded. She didn’t plan to survive it at all. In fact, she’d been certain she wouldn’t survive it, and had resigned herself to the idea.

Dying to bring Cadmus down seemed like a fitting end, after everything.

Except here she is, alive, if not exactly well, with Supergirl sitting beside her calling her brave of all things. It’s as bizarre as it is welcome. She stares blankly at the woman’s hand for a moment, simply unsure how to react to an offer of comfort when she’s so accustomed to animosity, before she lifts her own bruised and bandaged hand to take it. ‘Thank you. I... thank you for saving me. I didn’t exactly have an escape plan worked out’.

ooc. so work is finally calming down a bit so thought i'd start with a small starter call. lengths will vary, but feel free to specify if you want a particular verse/scenario.

@misereternal | ❝  i’m not heartless,  you know.  i just don’t see the point in wearing it on my sleeve all the time.  ❞

She's not sure where the statement comes from, and for a moment she half wonders if Spencer was talking to her at all. She pauses with her index finger between the pages of her book, poised to turn the page, and glances sideways at the woman over the rims of her glasses. 'I'm hardly someone who would judge you for that. You must've heard some of the things I've been called by now'.

She's been called far worse than heartless because of how people perceive her. It was easier for her to let people think she was cold and heartless for years, and by the time she felt safe enough to be less closed off around people, she'd already developed a reputation.

She's gotten... better at showing people she's not like that, but it's still difficult, sometimes. But it's easy to offer Spencer a small, understanding smile. 'In my own experience, the people who don't care enough to look deeper aren't people you should concern yourself with. The people who care... they'll know'.

@shedivine | ❝ the closer we get, the more tightness grows in my chest. ❞ freya! bby girl the tightness in ur chest is because ur excited about kissing lillian

It's moments like this that remind Lillian that Freya is so much smaller than her Valkyrie sisters. She's at least a head shorter than most of them, and yet it's something that often slips her mind. Freya is their queen, and with that no matter the binds Odin placed on her, her presence always filled the room like wings expanding from her shoulders.

And yet she's struck by it now. By the fact that she has to tilt her head down to look at the other woman, by the shadows cast from her wings, and Lillian shifts slightly, stepping a little to the side so that she's not looming over her. It's not that she thinks Freya might be intimidated, but she feels... better, seeing the sun on the woman's face.

She spent so long in the dark, bound by Odin's curse. They all did.

'You've lost many of the people you were close to', she says softly, her gaze straying to the tattoos curling over Freya's arms. They were so faded once that they were almost easy to miss. Now they stand out vividly beneath the sun, and it eases the ache in her chest, to see the reminder that Freya's free of Odin's influence. That she never has to suffer him again.

When she reaches out, it's a slow movement, her fingers curling lightly over her forearm, her hand resting there without gripping her. 'Letting yourself be close to anyone when you've suffered such loss is... difficult. I have no desire to cause you more pain, Freya'. Her brow furrows slightly. 'Would it be easier for you, if I spent some time with our sisters? Perhaps you need some space'.

[amazonluthor]

Someone please kiss me softly and tell me I’m good enough.

stark blinks, and it does border on helpless. it does seem to be precisely who she is. being the most fragile yet the most resilient person alive. in short, all of it broken down, stark is the most human of them all. he leans into lillian’s touch with a tender quietude. she lets the moment linger in the air. she allows it to stay and it never seems to outstay its welcome, this feeling of lingering warmth. his eyes close and he leans in, surprisingly excellent at the precarious balance on just a crutch.

“ i’d love that, yeah. two heads, better than one, etcetera, stuff i forget? i’m just like, goin’, you know? ”

has anyone’s smile ever been so much like the sun? has anyone ever seemed so happy when they felt the light of such a thing as love. she never thought she would understand it. but he understands one thing: stop trying to understand it.

Despite it all, all the worry and the fear and that terrible lingering feeling that this is all too good to be true that rears it’s head whenever something like this happens, Lillian finds herself returning Stark’s smile. How could she not? His smile is a thing of beauty, miraculous in the sense that they’re always full of such joy, and that she has, for whatever reason, decided Lillian is worthy of them. Of her love. They’re infectious, and Lillian could swear that they’re somehow healing, because she can feel her fears ebbing away under the light of her smile.

She’s long given up questioning it. She leans down, bowing her head to rest on Stark’s shoulder, and lets herself stay there for a moment. When she pulls back, it’s to press a kiss to Stark’s forehead. ‘Is there anything I can do for you, right now?’ It’s that desperate need to help somehow, seeing him in this state, even if she doesn’t know how. She lifts her hand to brush his hair from his eyes, her smile a warm, gentle thing. ‘You must be tired’. She hesitates, just for a moment, before she leans in to kiss her, as tenderly as she knows how, before she leans their foreheads together. ‘I love you’. She says it because she can. Because she needs to.

Lillian can hardly blame Jane for thinking that, and she offers her an apologetic smile. ‘I’m sorry it’s taken me so long’, she says, half reaching out towards her, as if she can bridge the distance between them. The idea that she might return must’ve seemed increasingly unlikely as time passed, and she takes a small step closer. ‘I just... needed a moment to take it all in’.

It wasn’t so much the truth of Jane’s nature that she needed time to process, but what it changed. Her understanding of the world had irrevocably shifted, and she needed time to let it settle. She lifts her hand again, letting her fingers brush over Jane’s arm, and murmurs, ‘your nature doesn’t change what you’ve done for me, or how I... how I feel’. She smiles, and hopes Jane can see she’s sincere. ‘And I missed you’.

@amazonluthor asked : ” I– Can I– I don’t know, can I hug you? ” / for stark

periwinkle baby blues blink. stark doesn’t comprehend the idea of comfort. stark doesn’t imagine the idea of someone making him feel better if he’s having a bad time. he just doesn’t. there’s no computing the idea that he’s even worthy of the idea. why bother? it’s just going to pass and—

the man of iron gestures inward to say yes, leaning heavy on a crutch to stay up. damage to one side’s prosthetics leave her repairing the mess and therefore without for the moment. just two ravaged, smoothed stumps of scar tissue carefully covered by a seemingly thin, intuitive cap of netting stretched over them. she balances excellently on her remaining organic limb— left leg— one scarlet and grey arm clutching. she’s gotten good at hopping around like it’s second nature until she’s reassembled.

“ i’d love one, actually. ”

Despite being told that she can, Lillian hesitates. Stark looks strangely small, so battered and bruised that for a moment she’s afraid that she could hurt him, simply by hugging him. Her chest feels tight, and for a moment she remembers how afraid she used to be to hug people, because she felt like she didn’t know how. She was always afraid she’d end up hurting them, somehow.

But she wants to comfort Stark, somehow, and that overwhelms the fear lodged in her throat. She steps forward to wrap her arms around Stark, looped loosely around her waist to avoid her injuries as much as possible. She tilts her face down against Stark’s hair, breathing in the smell of metal and blood, and tightens her embrace as much as she dares. She takes a slow, trembling breath, and murmurs, ‘thank you’. She feels better, somehow, now that she’s holding her. Like it’s easier to remember that she’s here. Her voice sounds choked and rough, and she clears her throat before she says, ‘I know... I know you’re perfectly capable of repairing your prosthetics, but I... can I help?’ She pulls back enough to carefully cup Stark’s cheek in her hand, stroking her thumb gently along his skin. ‘Will you... let me help you?’

❝  it’s  just  a  little  scratch,  ignore  it.  ❞    skilled  hands  had  moved  up  as  soon  as  the  other  reached  for  her  face,  grabbing  their  hand  without  even  needing  to  be  looking  at  it.    no,  her  eyes  are  glued  to  the  security  cameras.    whoever  caught  her  off  guard  to  leave  her  injured  like  this,  won’t  have  much  to  live  once  she  finds  them.

𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫.

It’s one of those moments where she knows that Jane has certainly experienced worse, and that the fact that she’s calling it a scratch means she’s not bothered by it, and yet knowing that doesn’t help. No matter how many times she’s seen Jane bloody and bruised, she’s never gotten used to it. She hopes she never will. But this is what Jane does, and she doesn’t want to get in her way. Instead she grips her hand, perhaps a little too tightly, and murmurs, ‘did the cameras catch anything?’

shedivine​:

golden  eyes  have  narrowed  and  have  not  hidden  the  direction  of  their  gaze.     scars  marring  the  woman’s  back  and  sides     ,     and  none  look  accidently  placed.     it  is  her  noble  upbringing  and  decorum  that  stops  alcina  from  voicing  any  questions  on  the  matter.     only  a  fool  would  run  out  in  such  weather     ,     and  lillian  does  not  look  the  fool.     eyes  soon  stray  from  their  perch  and  keep  themselves  level  with  the  rim  of  the  tub     ,     direct  but  unfocused.

no  sense  in  keeping  such  secrets     ,     alcina  will  not  be  letting  this  one  go  any  time  soon  and  the  sharing  of  such  knowledge  will  not  endanger  those  she  protects.          ❛ there  is  a  number  of  staff  to  care  for  the  castle     ,     though  they  are  all  currently  safe  in  their  beds. ❜          though  they  are  far  from  ideal  company     ,     alcina  preferring  they  stay  out  of  sight  and  not  underfoot.     her  face  then  softens  slightly     ,     a  fondness  she  cannot  hide.          ❛ ——     and  my  three  daughters. ❜

three  daughters  who  will  be  quite  incensed  to  learn  their  mother  took  in  prey  they  did  not     ,     especially  when  lillian  is  quickly  becoming  off  limits  to  the  mother  and  daughter’s  need  for  blood.

She might feel ashamed, or a little embarrassed, if she was aware of how clear her scars were to the woman, but as it is she’s too focused on lathering her skin with soap too notice. She takes a little longer than she might usually, allowing herself to indulge in the welcoming heat and the soothing smells of the bath oils, sighing in relief as the aches plaguing her seem to lessen. 

The mention of daughters does make her look up, just in time to catch the way Alcina’s face softens. Alcina might be a complete stranger to her, but it’s easy to see the fondness in her eyes as she mentions her daughters, and the sight of it causes Lillian’s lips to curve in a small smile. ‘I look forward to meeting them’. 

It’s a safe assumption that she will, she thinks, if she’s the only guest the castle has had in some time. She rinses off the last of the soap, pulling herself to the edge of the bath, and murmurs, ‘would you mind passing me a towel?’
