#❛ through the starlit pool ❜ ▬ ( amaya meme. )
a kiss shared at a masquerade ball. // @siphonedshadow for amaya !!
__________✨ THE MUSIC FADES BEHIND HER AS SHE VENTURES OUT TO THE GARDENS. even with the costume, there had still been stares, whispers ( she is sick of it, seeking refuge in the cool night air instead ) leave it to azriel to notice she had slipped away. she hears the familiar gait across the crunching gravel, turning to face him fully. she cannot help the soft smile that tugs at her lips to see him. dressed as a hunter to her diana. though her silver mask obscures her features, it does not diminish the glint in her violet gaze. she is the moon, the sky isn't there a story that the hunter had been lover to diana too ?? she offers her hands to him, dark curls tumbling over her shoulder as she inclines her head. won't you indulge your patron goddess in a dance, orion ?? her breathing catches for a moment as he pulls her closer. his smile is matched by her own.
✨__________ AMONGST THE HEDGES && THE FLOWERS, WITH NO ONE BUT THE STARS OVERHEAD, THEY MOVE. she is not as graceful as she would like to be, her leg never having set right after her fall, but he accomodates her ( as if he knows exactly how she favors her weight, as if he can anticipate even the smallest of her actions ) there is a break in the music && he does not release her immediately, instead he moves his hand to the mask's knot at the back of her head, undoing the silk ribbon with ease. she follows suit, lifting his own mask away, never once breaking his gaze. they stand before each other, themselves, no longer diana && her hunter. just azriel && amaya. they cannot hide, they do not want to. he sees her, he knows her. does he love her too ?? the gravity of the heavens bows him to her, claiming her lips with his kiss as their hands are clasped together between them. it feels like a promise, a supernova sparking. perhaps it is the beginning of their own poem.

[ INHALE ]: while standing in very close quarters to the receiver, the sender shakily inhales with desire/anticipation as they realize how intimately close they are to one another. // @siphonedshadow for amaya !!
__________✨ THE FLASH OF LIGHTENING ILLUMINATES THE LONG HALLS OF THE MANOR AS SHE WANDERS. she cannot rest on nights like this ( so similar to when the accident happened, reminding her of how she laid in the mud && rain. waiting. praying ) movement catches the corner of her eye && she turns, raising her candle as she does only to come face to face with him. he is dressed, despite the hour, && one look at his sodden clothes tells her all she needs to know about where he's been. the storm would have made the horses restless. she means to chide him for venturing in the dark, but a floorboard groans behind them, signalling they will soon not be alone. they cannot be caught like this: her in a state of undress, him not much better. quickly, she blows out the flame && ushers him into the nearest sanctuary. a little known linen closet.
✨__________ HER FINGERS HAVE PRESSED AGAINST HIS LIPS, AS THE BUTLER PASSES BY. he mutters something about the house being haunted, but the danger has passed, && soon, he disappears into the night too. it is only then that she becomes aware of how her body presses against azriel's, how in the space ( or lackthereof ) his hands grip her hips with nothing but her dressing robe && nightgown between his touch && her skin. his shirt soaks her own garments, cotton clinging now to her form. she feels as if she is on fire, ignited by the shaky breath he takes in response. she does not move away, cannot bring herself to, even as she lowers her hand from his mouth to rest on his chest. his heart thunders beneath, just as her own roars in her ears. ❛ az ... -- ❜ a whisper, perhaps a warning, but she is spellbound. she shivers && it has nothing to do with the rain.

a kiss shared against a tree. ( la la la for amaya ) // @siphonedshadow
__________✨ CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. her dare has put a pause in their training for the day, but the wind carries her laughter behind her. the kindness in its gentle sound paints a smile on her face even long after she's taken off towards the edge of the sparring ring. she is swift, shadow softening her steps, as she edges behind the protection of a tree. violet gaze looks over her shoulder as she silently continues to move backwards, her hand guiding her way along the bark. out of sight, out of mind. he is nowhere to be found. the air shifts && before she can process what has happened, his arms wrap around her waist from behind, the breath from his own chuckle tickles the shell of her ear. caught you. the shadows twist && coil at their feet. it appears she hadn't been the only one blessed with their aid in this pursuit.
✨__________ SHE SHIFTS TO FACE HIM, BACK COMING TO REST AGAINST THE TRUNK OF THE TREE. her hand rises to his cheek, her thumb sending a heartachingly gentle brush along the bone. ❛ what will your prize be now that you've won ?? ❜ he answers her not in words but in action, tilting her chin up to claim her lips in a kiss that emblazons itself on her soul. the entire world goes silent && there is nothing that exists but the two of them. her mate, her mate, her mate ( it echoes with each heartbeat. a gift from the mother herself, one that has been centuries in the making ) he may have her in his snare, but she does not seek escape. she never will

[ BLANKET ] — sender drapes a blanket over receiver’s shoulders // @draconisa / @fairytaletold (aeryn) to amaya !!
__________✨ HER GAZE DOES NOT WAIVER FROM THE SKY AS THE SCRATCHY MATERIAL OF THEIR ISSUED BLANKETS SETTLES AROUND HER SHOULDERS. no … she is too transfixed at the sight of wings disappearing into one another, flashes of scales in the morning light, a mass of dragons practicing early maneuvers overhead && she … settled on the ground. she should thank him for the small kindness, try to make an effort, but the sentiment dies on her tongue. her eyes reflect the longing now twisting in her chest ( it has been weeks now since she lost her bonded dragon … weeks && still the hole in her chest will not heal !! ) she doubts it ever can. ❛ command says i can try to bond again next year … ❜ repeating her first year is not the insult many would think it should be. by all rights, she should have perished with her dragon in the battle against the venin. that she lives is the true insult. ❛ i'm not sure i'll be able to. ❜ a whispered confession nearly lost to the sound of the drills above. she can only pull the blanket closer to ward off the shiver she knows has nothing to do with the season's chill.

[ BLANKET ] — sender drapes a blanket over receiver’s shoulders // @nightstriumph for amaya !!
__________✨ SHE HADN'T REALIZED SHE WAS SHIVERING IN THE FROSTY NIGHT AIR UNTIL THE BLANKET SETTLED OVER HER SHOULDERS. she can't sleep && so instead, she seeks to reaquaint herself with the stars above ( once she had known their names && constellations like the back of her hand, once they had been her only companions. they are forgotten to her now, as surely as is to them ) she turns to her brother, mirrored gazes meeting with the same weight of sadness for the lost years. && a budding hope that they have regained a fraction of happiness despite it all. ❛ rhys ?? ❜ she's not sure what to say, unfamiliarity choking her throat until the words are lost to her. she has to learn how to be a sister again too. ❛ would you stay with me ?? just for a little while ?? i ... -- ❜ how can she explain that she wants him near to remind herself this is real ?? that she has returned to him && needs something to ground her to this reality ?? she can't, yet still she pulls the blanket around her body && looks at him earnestly. with how it softens her face, one might almost forget this is a reunion five centuries in the making.

“ i’ll see you soon, okay? i promise. “ ( rhys and amaya as kids - pick a favorite verse ) // @nightstriumph
__________✨ HER MOTHER WILL REPRIMAND HER LATER FOR THE RATHER UNLADYLIKE POUT SHE'S SPORTING. his trunks are piled in the corner of the foyer, ready for his trip north to a boarding school she can't pronounce ( she had begged to go too, just to be told only boys were admitted ) ❛ but reeth !! ❜ she's red in the face that she struggles to form the syllables of his name, she's only just lost her two front teeth last week. she cried when he said she looked like the cave troll he insisted she was, but she'd take it all back just to have a few more moments with him. before he leaves her alone in this house that's far too big with a world that's not nearly big enough for her restless heart. ❛ christmas holidays are so far away. ❜ she can't help herself now as she flings her arms around him to hug him tightly. he's several years older && still she feels as if she is losing her best friend. ❛ write to me or i swear i'll run all the way to that school of yours && box your ears myself. ❜ she's rather ferocious in her promises, but she shouldn't be tempted. her voice drops now, barely above a whisper. it takes all her will to keep her tears at bay. ❛ promise you won't forget me. ❜
