#Welhaven

[julietandcinderella-if]

When did MC and Adele first meet? Could you describe how their first meeting went?

Welhaven being a gay mess, basically

~•~•~

But if I know you, I know what you'll do,

You'll love me at once,

The way you did once upon a dream.

- Once Upon a Dream, Lana Del Ray

~•~•~

It was a Monday night when Adelaide came into little cafe you and your brother own. You were just about to close up when she walked in, umbrella carried under her arm despite the lack of rain and in a stunning navy blue suit and skin pale as the white lilies by the window. A few buttons of her dress shirt is open, just right above the waist coat, blazer is left unbuttoned. You can barely see what looks like to be a long scar in between her—

"Excuse me." A luscious voice brings your eyes back up, seeing the woman now leaning on the counter with one arm resting on it. She wears a pair of sunglasses, and she lowers them down the bridge of her nose to reveal the chestnut brown eyes behind them. Her hair, reaching her chin, in waves of fluffy burgundy. She smiles in amusement when yours eyes finally meet, and you came to the realization that she must've noticed that you've been staring down at her—

"I see that you are a very observant barista." The woman says with a chuckle. Heat immediately rushes to your cheeks, embarassment washing over you in an overwhelming wave.

"I-I am so sorry. I didn't—!" You sputter immediately, but is quickly cut off by her laugh. It's sweet, melodic to your ears like the women you've heard singing in the radio. Heavenly like a warm cup of hot chocolate in the mornings of winter. The woman before you laughs into her hand. They are slender and long, hand of the perfect models you've seen in magazines, and adorned with what appears to be thin silver rings.

You feel yourself warm, and it isn't out of embarassment.

"No need to apologize," the woman says once she calms down, smiling once again at you with reassurance, "I know you mean no harm."

Gods above, that smile will be the end of you.

You clear your throat, quickly pushing down whatever fluster and other thoughts forming in your mind.

"So what would you like to order, miss?" You ask, trying to keep your eyes focused on her and not look down at the slightest.

"An earl gray would be nice right about now," the woman says as she shifts to lean in a more comfortable position, "that is… if you don't mind joining me?"

You stare at her in disbelief, eyes widening. "Are… are you asking me out? On a date?"

The woman laughs again. "I wouldn't mind if that's what you want." The woman takes off her sunglasses, an interesting glint showing in her eyes. "All I want is company. They do say that it enhances the flavor of whatever you're drinking."

A chuckle leaves you, still in disbelief over everything. This woman just walks in, flirts for a bit, asks you out to drink with her, gods above, and she's a stunning woman to look at too. You don't even know her name yet!

"I'm Adelaide, by the way." The woman says, as if reading your thoughts. "But I prefer to be called Adele."

You mouth the words, testing them on your tongue. Gods, even her name is pretty. Why is everything about her pretty?!

You nod, and offering a smile of your own. "It's nice to meet you, Adele."

When did MC find out about Adele's identity as a vampire princess?

It was during an intimate moment of vulnerability in the eve of a Wednesday.

~•~•~

I can't think of any other thing in the world I would rather do,

If I could be, I'd rather be me with you.

"I have to tell you something." Adele's urgency took you off guard. Your date with her is coming to an end. The moon is raised high in all its ethereal glory, clouds kept away from blocking it, and you commend the goddes Nyx for setting the mood. Maybe she's watching over you both. An eavesdropper, isn't she?

"What is it?" You ask, turning to face her with a slight tilt of your head.

Adele stands, biting her lower lip and avoiding your gaze. Her hands fisting the skirt of her dress tightly.

"Adele?" You call out, and reach out to hold her hand. Cold as always, an everlasting contrast against your warm skin. Her hand lays limp in yours and you lower your head to look at her directly. "What's wrong?"

Eventually, she lets out a sigh, her hand gripping yours as she now looks at you in defeat in those warm chesnut brown eyes. Defeat over what…?

"I have to tell you something about me," Adele begins and straightens up, "on what I am specifically." She pauses, hesitation clear on her face, and you wait for her to continue. You say nothing, not wanting to make her even more nervous.

An exhale from Adele then these words follow:

"I'm a vampire."

You don't know how long you've been standing there in silence, probably from the disbelief of this claim consuming you. A vampire? She has to be joking. Those things only exist in fiction. And shouldn't Adele be burning under the sun if that were—wait. You never actually saw Adele without an umbrella. No, no, you can brush it off as Adele hating the sun, and, frankly, you and many others hate the sun too.

But where are the pointy ears? Don't vampires have them? The bloodshot eyes? The foreign accent? The long spindly fingers? The bat-like features on her face?

Your mind goes lightheaded with all the questions running through you and you can't help but laugh at it.

"You? A vampire?" You question with a scoff. "You're pulling my leg, Adele!"

"No, I'm serious." Adele lowers her head, eyes half lidded as she avoids your gaze. "Look, I know you have a lot of questions about who and what I am, and I promise you that I'll answer them soon, but please…" Her grip tightens a bit on your hand, "tell me, does this fact disway you from loving me still?"

Despite the tight grip, you can feel her hand tremble.

Nervous.

She's nervous.

No, she's terrified.

Terrified of losing you.

"Adele…" You cup her face, gently raising her head up to look at you. You smile reassuringly, thumb brushing her cheek. "Vampire or not, I already am too deep in love with you, and nothing is going to stop me from doing so."

She stares at you in shock, before a smile tugs at the edge of her lips. She leans in, forehead resting on yours as a soft chuckle erupts from her throat. Her other hand snakes around your waist, pulling you closer to her.

"Gods, whatever did I do to deserve you?"

Thinking about this lovely little poetry collection and how hard it trolled both Welhaven and Wergeland by publishing their poetry together

[random-user-guy]

IF OC gallery no.2

Meet the contractor of the Seven Deadly Sins from @sevensdeadly-if, Perseus (his parents loved greek mythology a bit too much). Plans on wreaking havoc on the heavens and hell, effectively destroying the balance just like he was meant to.

"May God have mercy on you 'cause I won't"

(written by @manonamora-if)The Thick Table Tavern's mischievous bartender, Kate. The girl will mix strange things on your drink if you mess with her. Be careful.

medieval au Welhaven, the beloved human wife of Queen Adelaide from @julietandcinderella-if. Anyone you meet at court will sing her praises, yet a few nobles will speak of her ruthless scheming trait, where they think walls have no ears to spy on them 🙂

Leas: City of the Sun's (written by @sailingshellsgames) chaotic sword master agent from Den Zarel, . Loves causing trouble with the higher-ups and on missions, yet is a true professional on getting the job done at the last minute. Fiercely protective of Keo, he's thinking on how to remove the ridiculous laws/policies followed by the city for the fey.

The newest babysitter of the firecracker and lone wolf (Thalia and Serio), Marco from @thecompany-if. He's best friends with the mad scientist, Henry, due to shared interest in supernatural engineering science and lack of common sense. At first he tried to be more strict with his juniors, yet very soon started spoiling both of them, giving in to firecracker's wishes which generally gets all three in trouble with the boss, Zelek.

@infamous-if, the lead singer of Chaos Anthem, Maria. She's talented at singing and raising Orion's blood pressure due to her habit of almost always risking being late or a concert/interview etc.

William from @anjiefiction grieving over his fate and having flashbacks of what happened that night in his childhood.

Castiel studies on Lumintoille from @cheerstotheelites-if. His study habits and time management skills are impeccable, yet God knows how he manages to stay in such a messy bedroom 😔

The high-school version of the new teacher in @thankyoufortoday-if , Jake. Now he is totally different from before, though some habits have remained with him even at this stage of his life, including smoking (tried to quit for a while but it didn't work).
