Pairing: Baileywick x Reader

Author’s Note: Okay, Okay, Okay, off topic, but does Baileywick give anyone else Capricorn/Gemini vibes??? I swear, earth and air signs just be acting a certain way 😔 I could spot a fellow earth sign just by their slightest mannerisms I swearrr Lmao. 

Being real though, this has been sitting in my drafts for so long :( so sorry.

Also, I did not do as thorough a proof-read job as I wanted to on this, so sorry for any errors you may find! On a different note, this one is for @ucantseemaowo34​ !!! Thank you for this ask! Baileywick doesn’t get enough love fr, so this felt fantastic to write :) 

While growing up, you had always desired one thing: 

To work at the Enchancia castle. 

Come to think of it, there wasn’t a time that you hadn’t wanted to work at the most prestigious castle in all the land. That is, the most prestigious castle to you. With its stunning architecture, fantastic workers of all creeds, and, of course, the welcoming royals, the castle had seemed like a paradise for someone like you. But there was one thing that drew you to the castle the most. And that was your dear friend Baileywick. 

After moving to Enchancia in your twenties to pursue your dream, you had run into Baileywick while at a local market. It was one of his rare days off, and he had chosen to go purchase some gifts and some items he had forgotten to purchase days previous. And while walking towards the aisle with the whittled figurines at one of the shops, he ran into you. 

Not recognising you from his years of living in Enchancia, he immediately sparked a conversation and offered to tour you around what he said was the best kingdom in all the lands. 

At the time you only slightly agreed with his opinion, given you didn’t know everything about it, but overtime you grew to love the land as much as him; with its cheerful population and bustling city, you knew that it wouldn’t be hard to join their little community. 

The only problem had been finding a job...With little work experience, you weren’t sure what place would fit you best. Your father had taught you the skills of carpentry as a young child, but it wasn’t something that you thought would be easy to find a job for. As Baileywick pointed out in his tour early on, the city already had a fine group of carpenters that didn’t need apprentices. So it didn’t seem as though they, or the castle staff, needed another one to add to the mix.

When Baileywick brought up the topic of careers, he immediately noticed your dread. When you explained the source of that dread though, he promptly eased your worries with one small statement: That the head carpenter at the castle was looking for a partner to aid in his work. And, as it turns out, the man was a friend of your father.

All in all, it seemed as though your dreams were in closer reach than you thought.

Flash forward two years later, and you were thriving in your field. Similar to Baileywick, you had dedicated almost all of your time to your trade. The only difference was that you both began to take more days off in order to spend it with each other.

So much so, that you both set aside one to two days a week to spend together doing whatever it was that caught you guys’ interest that week.

For that last couple of weeks though, Baileywick had noticed that you had been cancelling on him more and more frequently. This was something that flashed immediate red flags in his head. Something had to be wrong; the only thing he had to do was figure out exact what it was that was bothering you.

...

Walking out to the shed you and your fellow carpenters worked in, Baileywick hesitantly knocked on the intricately designed door. He had hoped that you would be the one to open the door and invite him in, but his wishes were sadly not met.

“Hello Baileywick! Haven’t seen you around these parts in a while, is there something you need?,” Reginald, the head carpenter said.

“Well...There is actually. Is (y/n) here?”

Looking behind him, Reginald snapped his finger and opened the door wider.

“Actually, they are! They should be at their station in the back.”

With a pat to the shoulder Baileywick thanked him and manoeuvred his way over to you.

Which was easier said than done.

By the time he got close to your work station, he realised that most of the space was taken up by a large wooden object. This, upon closer inspection, turned out to be an impressively designed wooden statue; something he remembered the king commissioning not too long ago. Come to think of it, it was commissioned around the same time you started flaking on your meet ups...

...

“(Y/n)?”

 Uh-oh, you thought, he finally came looking for me..

Letting out a nervous laugh, you turned around to sheepishly look at Baileywick.

“Heyyyy Baileywick..long time no see huh?”

Not finding the humour in your words, Baileywick gave you a scolding look. This only made your nerves worse but was ultimately anticipated. You had been working so hard that you hadn’t realised just how long it had been since you had last seen him properly. Unlike him, you were disheveled and looked as if you hadn’t slept in weeks. Which wasn’t far from the truth....Something you knew he was aware of.

“Ha Ha (y/n), very funny. Is this what you’ve been doing these last two weeks? You look like you haven’t taken a break since you started!”

Hearing it from him made the reality really sink in. You spent so long trying to finish this project as fast as you could that you forgot to focus on your own health and close friends. The guilt pooled in your chest at the thought and you finally gave him a dejected look.

“Well, I mean, yeah. The king wants this project done as soon as possible, so I thought if I pulled a couple all-nighters I might get it done faster and have some more down time. Didn’t realise how much that would backfire though...”

Oh (y/n), he thought, always putting work before yourself..

“Well, if that’s the case, it seems as though a well deserved break is in order. A walk in the woods might do you some good (y/n); you could clear your head and finally explore the kingdom’s landscape in more detail like you’ve always wanted.”

This idea did interest you, but there was only one thing keeping you from following through with that plan: you had been isolated so long and had no one to go with.

Sensing your anxiety and reluctance, he decided to try and ease your discomfort.

“Do you not like that suggestion? You can always do whatever else you want, I just thought some fresh air and movement would do you some good.”

Responding quickly, you let out a, “No! No, that idea is fantastic Bailey! I just....I’d rather have someone to....y’know, go with me and do it....”

Oh, he thought. 

“Would you like...me to go with you....?”

With a confident grin, you said the first thing that came to mind: 

“Of course!, Who else would make better company than you?”

That statement was what gave him the confidence to confidently say yes and join you. The fact that you were so adamant on wanting to spend time with him despite how bad you felt made him feel those familiar butterflies in his chest. And, for a moment, he felt as though he finally had a chance. A chance to admit how he felt about you. 

After preparing the supplies needed for a hike in the woods and getting into the proper attire, Bailey met you at the gates of the castle.

“You all ready to go?”

“Ready as I’ll ever be!,” you quipped.

With a fond smile Baileywick offered you his arm and guided you two to the gate.

....

The first twenty minutes of your walk was done with excited chatter, but stopped when the beauty of the flora around you began to blossom and capture you guys’ attention; making you both decide to take a break in order to admire it and harvest what you could.

With that in mind, you pulled your basket in front of you.

Seeing that you were focusing on the fauna surrounding you both, Baileywick decided to scavenge for any edible vegetation. The first being the regions more notable mushrooms.

Picking up the nearest mushroom to him and twirling it between his fingers, Baileywick thought back to the first time he started having feelings for you.

His first glance at you in the market square had him gazing in awe- that he can confess to. But beauty often hides the truth, so more time was needed to know if your beauty was deceiving.

And, as he soon found out, the women inside matched the beauty outside. To him, the longer you worked together the more your personality shone. And goodness was it bright.

Every little action you made was perfect in your own little way; even if you would claim otherwise. You constantly changed his perspective on the way he viewed life and he knew that, although you didn't conform to his way of living, he wanted to conform to yours. Even at the expense of his perfectionism.

And though that might be the influence of Sofia talking, he did acknowledge the change that you brought out in him; and he appreciated it. Instead of trying to perfect everything down to the last inch, he let things flow naturally. Instead of getting irritated when things weren’t done the way he wanted, he let people have their own creative liberty with how they went about things. And instead of being happy by himself, Baileywick now realised he wanted companionship. More specifically, companionship with you. 

All in all, Baileywick thought it was only appropriate that you knew these feelings, otherwise it would be awkward on both of your parts. He felt as though you should know how he felt and, in the back of his brain, he hoped that you would reciprocate those feelings. 

So when you both reached what seemed to be the most beautiful lake he could find in Enchancia to rest at, Baileywick instantly felt that it was best he confessed to you here. Because who else than you deserved absolute perfection?

Gazing over to you, Baileywick felt a fond smile creep onto his face. Despite his workaholic nature, he would give up all of his life’s work just to live in this moment with you forever. Your face reflected the purple and orange hues just perfectly and he swore you looked angelic.

Inching closer to you, he took a strand of your hair and began to twirl it around his finger. You raised your shocked eyes in response, which only let your blush become even more evident to him. 

“Bailey?,” you asked, watching him observe your features lovingly.

Pressing his forehead against yours, your breath intertwining and a content affection being built, Baileywick responded with a smooth:

“Sometimes I feel sick…so anxious and sick- as if my heart is trying to beat its way out of my chest. At first I thought I caught a cold from the children, but when it got worse around you I knew it wasn’t just a biological mistake. You were what made my heart race. You were what made me feel like a lovesick teenager again. Looking at you just now, I knew that I had to tell you...” 

Pulling you into a hug, his chin resting on your shoulder, he finally admitted it: “(y/n), I love you. I’ve loved you for years. I just thought you should know because you’ve made such an impact in my boring stiff life. Whether that’s the Sofia in me taking I don’t know, but it remains true just the same.....”

...

Not hearing a response, Baileywick began to pull away from you. That is, until he felt you latch onto him tighter. Staying still, he felt you shaking a bit- as if you were laughing. And for a moment, he felt a bit upset. He had poured his heart out and that was how you respond?

Recoiling, he let out a brief, “Hey! Now what’s th-”

And then he saw it: you had tears in your eyes! That definitely wasn’t the reaction he was expecting; he wanted to make you happy, not make you cry! Showing his concern, he quickly said: “Oh dear! Are you alright?”

Looking up at him, you let out a giggle through a toothy grin.

“Of course I’m alright you old fool, I love you too! You just don’t know how relieving it is to hear you say that. I was worried that I would have to hear Miranda tease me about my crush on you for the rest of my life!”

Hearing that, Baileywick let out a hearty laugh of his own.

“She teased you as well?? I swear I haven’t been able to get Roland off my back for an eternity! That man does not give up easily, I’ll tell you that..”

Smiling fondly at him, you could only think one thing: God bless the King and Queen of Enchancia for their childish teasing. 

A laugh broke out between you and, in that moment, everything was right in the world. Everything was how it should be and the two lovers were finally able to live out their dream life: the one where their person loved them back.

This gay old man will sass you every day

Hugfia week 2021. Day three- AU

Posted with permission from @historianofenchancia​

(I thought about it all night until a toddler AU come to me because why not?)

It used to be just her and Mommy.

Now it was Mommy, Daddy, big sister, big brother, big brother’s doggie, and people she didn’t know since her mommy married the king.

Lately big brother and big sister had been putting toys out of her reach in the hopes she’d crawl to one of them.

Sofia may have been one but she wasn’t stupid. Big brother and big sister were frustrating to her when they took the cuddly, chewy toys away.

So when Daddy said she was getting all the toys to herself for a play date, Sofia squealed in delight with her only disappointment being the boy as her playmate.

Hugo, as Mommy and Daddy called him, was a few months older than her and could crawl with little to no effort.

That made Sofia feel grumpy, watching as he crawled towards the pile of toys. She sat there, eyeing him as if to say “those my toys!” with her lips forming a small pout.

Maybe if she cried then Mommy or Daddy or the Baileywick man would stop Hugo from taking her toys.

Before she could get her bottom lip to quiver, Sofia looked down in surprise.

In her lap was the bunny toy she’d been wanting for weeks but could never get due to big brother and big sister wanting her to crawl.

“Fia like?” Hugo asked.

Sofia nodded, looking up and smiling upon seeing the flying horse toy in his arms. “Hank you.”

Hugo beamed.

To their parents, it was only babbling but Sofia caught the warm smile on Mommy’s face

Daddy was smiling too as was Hugo’s daddy.

Neither Hugo and Sofia understood why, playing and sharing with each other until nap time.

[dreamlanddoll]

So... upon writing this I realized that I’ll have to play around with the ages and the timeline a bit since Roland and Cedric technically grew up together and if Roland had a child when they were both adults that means that Cedric would’ve seen you grow up so... yeah that’s a big uncomfy thing for me so I’m gonna go ahead and stretch Roland and Cedric’s age gap to 10 years instead of 3 so that would mean Roland has you in his very young adult years (21 or 22, which was very common back then, especially for royalty) and Cedric would be like 11 or 12 when you’re born.

Cedric x Eldest Daughter of King Roland!Reader

you two knew each other briefly in your childhood, but in all honesty, Cedric had little to no interest in getting acquainted with you, seeing as how you were only 3 years old, and he was a teenager.

in fact, he did everything within his power to avoid you, as he wasn’t all too fond of small children. This trait would continue to proceed in him into his adult years as well (cause he’s a grump)

when you grow up to be of an age old enough for school, around 5 or 6, you begin showing signs of remarkable talent in your academics classes, especially astronomy

this was also around the time that your younger brother and sister, Amber and James, were born. And upon your mother, the Queen, dying from childbirth, your father decided to send you to a boarding school for young, gifted royals.

so you never really got to grow up with your baby twin siblings, or even with your own dad. Which is a big regret of Rolands, believe me.

years pass and so much has happened without you, so upon arriving home in your mid-twenties, you’re buzzing to get filled in on everything

Neither Amber nor James remember you, but Amber is ecstatic to discover she’s had a big sister this whole time

“Oooh, I’ve always wanted a big sister! We can do each others hair and you can give me boy- or girl- advice and I can steal your dresses to borrow and-!”

“Ahem.”

“Oh, right, sorry, this is my little sister, Sofia. Well, I guess your little sister too!”

Sofia’s really happy to meet you, and asks you what boarding school was like. When you tell her that you majored in astronomy, Amber is jazzed.

She’s so excited that you both like the same things, and may or may not take up most of your time, but you two get along well

James was honestly hoping for a brother, because for the last 5 years it’s been mostly him and his dad with three other girls, but he decides to ask if you’ll sword fight with him anyway

when you say that you actually learnt how to in your fencing classes during your time at school, and that you’d be happy to practice sword fighting with him, James is suddenly sold on this whole second big sister thing.

Things between you and Miranda are kind of awkward at first, you’re this new girl- well, woman arriving at the castle that she’s only ever heard Rollie talk about, and now she was your mom too all of a sudden. Though she’s kind of relived to have another adult woman around the castle to talk about certain things with. You guys act more like wine-drinking buddies than mother and daughter.

Baileywick is delighted to see you again, and you him. You were always his favourite little princess, giving you head pats and sneaking you sweets before dinner to this very day. Since you were little he swears you’ve been more cordial than most of the castle staff. And he never, ever skipped on joining you for a tea party. You guys even hug, which is odd because Baileywick always had a strict ‘no-hugging’ rule between him and the royal family. But not you. You were like his friend.

you decide since you’re going to be sisters, and since Amber and James have taken up your time plenty that day, to get to know Sofia more.

“(Y/n), I don’t suppose you remember Mr. Cedric, do you?”

“...Who?”

it takes you a minute, but it clicks when Sofia describes the purple robe and the “weird, two-toned hair”

“Oohhh, I remember him! He didn’t seem to like me all that much though. I wouldn’t want to bother him.”

well too bad, Sofia’s yanking you up there to meet her favourite sorcerer. She talks your ear off about how great of a teacher, mentor and wizard he is while you haul yourselves up two flights of stairs.

upon Cedric opening the door, something seems different about him. He looks less tired, and more bright in the face. He smiled immediately when he saw that Sofia was at the door, and greets her in the most friendly way that you’ve never heard him speak in. Was this even the same boy you knew all those years ago?

Well, it was, and he’s quite surprised to see you... since he doesn’t know who you are

“Mr. Cedric, this is Princess (y/n), don’t you remember her?”

Cedric immediately recognizes your name, just not your face. He feels a little embarrassed for not knowing it was you at first, you’ve really quite grown since he last saw you. Though, Cedric still had a good few inches of height on you. 

“M-my deepest apologies your Highness, I-I didn’t recognize you.” He bows, to your surprise. 

“You don’t have to do that. Sofia was just telling me about how comfortable you two are with each other, so I don’t see why we can’t be the same.”

from then on, you spent a lot of time catching up with each other, which eventually grows into a good companionship between you, Cedric, and Sofia as they fill you in on all the adventures they’ve been on together. It’s all very exciting! You tell them that they’d have to take you sometime

though Sofia and Cedric leave out some stories, just to spare any bad opinions of either of them you may develop.

Cedric has to admit, it’s a bit nice to start fresh with someone of the royal family that didn’t know about all his past crimes

one day when you, Sofia and Cedric were all paling around in his tower, you decided to stay a little extra longer after Sofia leaves

you just wanted to talk with Cedric alone for a little bit, just to see what he’s like

Cedric’s a little nervous about being in a space all alone with you, you being a princess and all..

but you end up getting along really well, and so it started a routine of you staying just an extra hour or two after curfew, once Sofia had gone off to bed, to spend time alone with the royal sorcerer, 

a lot of your friendly banter turns into sly quips, and eventually into flirting

this starts a series of events neither of you could’ve ever seen coming; developing feelings for one another

Cedric tells him self to get over you, to snap out of it millions of times. He doesn’t know why he needs to spell it out for himself that you are a princess, not only that, but King Roland’s daughter. So by that logic you should be 100% off limits, right?

tell that to his heart rapidly beating out of his chest when you touched his hand for the first time

you wondered if your feelings for him were even ethical. What would your father say? What would the Kingdom think if you two were together? It simply wouldn’t work out.

however, when you two are hanging out in his workshop one night, you both had been chatting and shyly flirting as he works, per usual. Cedric starts explaining spell-theory to you (which you found adorable), and you decided that you couldn’t take it anymore, so you defy all the rules and when he turns his head to you, you kiss him 

no warning, no subtle hints that you like him, you just dive in forward with red cheeks and a racing heart and kiss him

and Cedric is just in complete shock

he doesn’t have any time to react or kiss you back, he sits there in complete awe. 

he can’t believe that just happened. his mouth is completely agape and he can’t think straight for the life of him. You had kissed him, right on the lips- your soft, sweet lips, you, the princess, kissed him.

it takes a second before he gets off cloud nine when he realizes that oh no- you, the PRINCESS, just kissed him

he would no doubt be blamed for this. He panics. This is incredibly unethical. Is it even legal? He’s not sure, but he’s gonna stutter and ramble and lecture you about it. Of course he’s flattered and overjoyed you feel the same way that he feels about you. But you two? Together? It could never happen. It shouldn’t happen. It’s-

oops, you kissed him again to hopefully calm him down, and upon pulling apart you apologize 

he takes a minute to think, absorbing everything. You’re worried you’ve upset him, but he looks at you with a frazzled expression and says,

“Promise to never let what just happened leave this room?”

you nod. “Agreed.”

“And also what’s about to happen?”

“Wha-?”

he kisses you that time.

from that day on you two are.... ??? with a bit of <333 but mostly ???!?????????????????

he doesn’t know what, and neither do you

all you both know is that you kissed, you both liked it, and you both haven’t spoken in 3 days

until you approach him about it

it’s very awkward, you two keep trying to talk at the same time, stopping yourselves and laughing, insisting that the other go first

you conclude that perhaps... if you both really tried, you could make something work between the two of you

Cedric concurs, trying to hide how wide his smile wants to reach across his face 

you both go to bed extremely happy and giddy that night, thinking about each other until the second you each fall asleep

aside from the new relationship, hiding this from Roland is a whole other effort on it’s own

you two have to keep things very lowkey, you might secretly brush your hand against Cedric’s when with your family, making his heart jump in his chest the first dozen times

he gradually gets acquainted with your micro-affections in public, and gives you a tender, secret smile each time you do them, making a blush rise in your cheeks that you try to hide behind your fan

 of course Sofia catches on to this, and of course Cedric can’t hide anything from her

she promises that she won’t tell their dad, much to Cedric’s relief

you two have lots of secret dates in his workshop, mostly at night when everybody else is asleep

you favourite thing to do together even now as a couple is play rainy indoor games like checkers, chess, cards, stuff like that

you’re both equally good at those things, so it’s always a fun competition 

(winner always gets a kiss on the cheek <3)

when things start to get more... intimate in your relationship, it’s a very tricky procedure

the first time you slept over at Cedric’s, you woke up late and Baileywick had knocked on the door to ask Cedric if he’s seen Princess (Y/n)

oh he’s seen you alright 

you ended up having to hide in his closet dressed in your nightgown as Baileywick proceeded to talk (more like order around) Cedric’s ear off for an hour. 

now you know to get up 5 am, haul your clothes, quickly kiss Cedric goodbye and book it to the other side of the castle so that nothing would suspect a thing

Cedric still feels weird, and even kind of guilty for courting the King’s daughter, especially since their such close friends again

it’s all just a really weird situation for him

but it is for you too so he knows he’s not alone

the first time you tell him that you love him is when you’re explaining to him that no matter if your father finds out, you’ll still stay with him, even if it means you won’t become queen, even if Cedric is thrown out of the Kingdom, you’ll go with him

that means more to him than you could ever know, but he wouldn’t want to giving up the family you just got back for him, because he loves you too and wants you to be happy

my top 10 Sofia the First songs

10. Smoke, Wings and Fire Song 9. Keeping Promises No Matter What 8. My First Flight & Wings of a Dream 7. The Fliegel Has Landed 6. Gotta Reach a Higher Height 5. Cedric the Great 4. A Kingdom of My Own

(the rest with my comments under the cut! ❤)

3. Magic Touch 

Feel free to cheer and gush I’ve got the magic touch!

Oh wow, Cedric is one of my favorites characters in the show, what a surprise, wow, of course one of his songs would end up on the podium! The song is very rhythmic and super catchy, Jess Harnell’s accent and Rachael MacFarlane singing are perfect. The sibling rivalry vibe here is very strong with is fantastic. In the context of episode and sibling’s backstory a lot of lines become very meaningful so extra bonus points for little foreshadowing. I also like the animation, it’s full of face expressions and movement, both characters and camera movements and angles. Sofia and Calista are super cute during the song, they are dancing to Cordelia’s lines, helping Cedric stand up from ground and hugs him and Cordelia constantly tries to “steal” the girls attentions; very nice details!

2. Helping Hand

Being Steward of Enchancia That’s my dream To get that job I’ve hatched a truly amazing schemes It involves a secret trick…. Getting rid of Baileywick!

First, we have Christian Borle plays Slickwell here. That’s cool. Second, I love to death Sofia’s dress in this song/episode. Sofia is being super cute and nice helping her old clumsy friendo Baileywick. And the music, oh the music! So many instruments! There are so many things going on! Fantastic glockenspiels with Sofia’s parts and the whole song is so playful and kind a musical-ish and Ariel Winter nailed it perfectly. Great song!

1. On Your/My Own

I may be small and on my own But I can feel how much I’ve grown My will is strong my heart is true My love will be The end / Of / You

Perfect song for the series final! I love the lyric! Despite the fact that “the power of friendship and love” (popular and sometimes overused motive, but good and necessary part of any children show!) helps Sofia defeat the evil, she knows her value and strengths and thanks to her self-awareness she overpowers Vor. She is fighting not only for her family and friends, but also for herself. She learned so much about herself, kindness and being a good person. Her persistence is very inspiring, even when Vor knocked her out, she sings “I’m on my own but won’t give in / I’ll get back up to fight again” and “But like the sun, I’ll rise once more”. Also great dialog-like exchange of lyric between Sofia and Vor.

I think the solitude that Sofia is experiences and fighting against really touched me. Because when we are in bad or difficult place or in bad mood, we often feel alone, very little, crushed under the whole big, noisy world. I could relate to her situation. And seeing how she was doing brave and inspiring things with the power that comes out of righteous beliefs made my heart warm. I like Sofia the First because it’s show full of good messages, great characters, cool songs and sounds effects. They are breaking stereotypes and oh boy, the characters development are very good. Of course it’s not without flaws but at the end I’m very glad I watched it. It’s satisfying and fun way to relax for me.

[perfect-chancellor]

My blog talks a lot about Esteban (MUCH) so I thought for once, I was going to talk about the other characters by giving my opinion on each of them.😆

Elena

I think that after Esteban, it's her that I prefer. Elena is really the friend I would have liked to have at school. She is daring, ingenious, brave and really great. I admire her enthusiasm every time she does something and the connection she has with her family is so beautiful. I also admire his leadership temperament. She knows how to lead the troops and impose her ideas without hesitation and above all, she is not afraid to be heard and defend her beliefs. His little faults? Well she is stubborn, sometimes naive, impulsive but other than that, she is really great

Mateo

It's a character that I appreciate very much. He is kind, talented, brave and so funny. He is also a calm, laid-back and rather studious person who studies and practices his magic relentlessly and with passion. The small rivalry he has with Gabe in some episodes amuses me much as his awkwardness and his movements of dances. I think he has evolved a lot and I'm sure he's not finished surprising us

Gabe

Well, I'll be honest, Gabe is far from being my favorite character. In fact, it's the character that touches me the least. So yes, he amuses me from time to time as when he became El Guapo or riding a donkey. Apart from that, I find him brave of course, attentive, always ready to protect Elena (I'm not sure she really needs protection, but hey), he's a very helpful and ambitious boy. On the other hand, I find that Elena does not have the same link with Gabe as with Mateo, I have seen more moments of complicity with Mateo so I join the Eleteo team and I send Gabe with Naomi

Naomi

Ok, I'm going to end up hating myself here, but Naomi, like Gabe, is not really the character I love the most. What I like most about her is his complicity / rivalry with Esteban (on the other hand, I can not join Esteomi, I try, I can not) and his clairvoyance (it's the only one to beware of Rita). For the rest, I'm not a fan of his personality and his style. Although I find her important character in the series, of course, it's a key element, but unlike Elena, I do not see myself becoming friends with her. The only episode where she catches my attention is in "My fair Naomi" (Esteban comes out of this body😅) and I admit that it made me laugh in "The kigndom fair" when she runs after the little pigs😂

Isabel

It's funny my little sister and I have the same age difference as Elena and Isabel but my sister is more like Elena and me to Isabel. I love her because she is intelligent, studious, calm and thoughtful. We work a little in the same way and often, when she feels something and well, I feel the same thing. Like when she wants to work alone on her project and the mistress sticks a team (sorry Elena but I'm still convinced that I work best alone for a school project) And then she is so cute! I would like to see her more interact with Esteban, more primo / angel moment I want more!😍😭 And his bond with his sister is so true. Not to mention his talents as a handyman. She is a girl full of promise.

Armando

Ah this good old armando. We are far from the caricature of the baileywick gentleman. How not to have compassion for him? He is devoted, generous, funny. I had so much trouble when he spilled his guava juice that he had lovingly prepared it in "The King of Carnival". It is true that he is quite awkward and sometimes not very clever (Rita is the living proof) but other than that, I think everyone would like to have an Armando as a friend.

Luisa

Admit that you would be ready to trade your grandmother against Luisa? This woman is just great! She is direct, intentional and prepares tamales like no one. I like his energy in "Olaball" and his singular replicas in "Royal Rivalry". She always has good advice and is, like Naomi, endowed with clairvoyance that other characters apparently don't possess (no, frankly guys, Shuriki disguised as Isa, you'll see it anyway?) In short, I like that. She is fun and dynamic.

Francisco

Just for his timeless "guitar" I love it! Francisco is really a grandfather of gold. Like Luisa, he always has good advice. I would like to know even more stories about his youth and especially to see more interactions with Esteban. I also like his elegant costume and ... his energy! If at his age I can do a triple jump, I could die in peace!😅

Twenty five days of Wassailia challenge day thirteen: Make it work

“I don’t think so,” Amber grumbled, turning to James with a frown. “Daddy wants us to make Sofia comfortable not hate the tree.” “So doing the lights was a bit much?” James frowned. Remembering Sofia’s sensitivity to the cold was one thing (James was rather protective of her for it) but remembering that she had lost the sight in her right eye because of the illness she had suffered two years prior? That was harder than he thought it would be. “Princess Amber? Prince James?” Baileywick called, getting their attention. “I thought your father was having the servants work on the tree.” “We gave them the task of decorating Sofia’s room in exchange for us doing the tree,” Amber smiled. “How very kind of you.” “Except for the lights. Sof already has lost one working eye. We don’t need her to lose another,” James sighed. “I’ve seen you two care for her since the day she arrived. Especially you Princess Amber,” Baileywick beamed. “Well it may not have been princess appropriate to hit some of the boys in the face but Sofia’s dignity was on the line,” Amber smiled, looking through the lights. “I was thinking white lights this year. Bright ones would just hurt her eyes.” “That’s a good idea Princess Amber.” “Thank you Baileywick.” “But would she like them?” James wondered. “Like what?” Sofia asked, muffled through her scarf. “She saw the snow and wanted to go outside,” Roland smiled, helping Sofia out of her scarf. “Amber and James don’t have to wear layers. Why me?” “It’s only so you don’t get sick Princess Sofia,” Baileywick couldn’t help himself but smile at her pouting lips. “Okay,” Sofia sighed. She brightened up as she spotted the lights her siblings weren’t using. “Can I borrow them for my snow people?” “Don’t you mean snowman?” James smirked. “No. I made a lot of them so they’re snow people.” Amber and James only shook their heads in amusement as Roland tied back on Sofia’s scarf and took her outside. She wouldn’t know about the lights that evening but Amber smiled softly at Baileywick as the steward helped her and James put them on the tree.

Thoughts on Sofia the First Part 1:

     I wrote these almost every time I watched an episode but I’m just going to post the more ‘meaningful’ ones out here. Only the episodes that I care or got mad about will be featured. I know it’s late and I should have posted these every time I finished a season but it took a week to convince myself just to post this since the finale is today. It will be divided into 5 parts and maybe an additional sixth part if I feel like talking about Forever Royal.

Season 1

Sofia the First Once Upon a Princess

     Not a bad pilot. I could barely remember the whole thing so this is basically still new to me. Suddenly becoming a royal must be a huge culture shock for Sofia though shouldn’t Miranda also have a hard time? She probably took lessons or something, maybe it’s also because she’s a full grown woman? Idk.

     I like how it showed Sofia struggling in trying to keep up and it doesn’t help that Amber was sabotaging her.  Also hearing the good ol’ Mr. Ceedric brings back memories. I feel like I’m gonna have a lot of second hand embarrassment for Cedric in the future eps.

     I personally like Cinderella's advice and song for Sofia and how she and Amber patched things up. A good introduction to the series.

Just One of the Princes

     The usual girls can’t do boy’s things just because they’re girls. The song’s catchy and everyone’s voices are good, especially Amber’s. Minimus is amusing and I’d like to see him again and judging by them being in the derby I probably will. I also kinda hoped that Sofia wouldn’t actually win because she never rode a horse let alone a flying one in her life and didn’t have enough practice time. But since this is a kid’s show (Get ready to hear this a lot) she just had to win.

     Winning isn’t everything and I wish they showed that and still praised Sofia for trying to make a change, maybe then she and Minimus will just have to practice more for next year. My favorite moments were Amber supporting Sofia, getting worried for her and giving her derby tiara to her sister as a prize.

The Big Sleepover

     I don’t have much to say for this ep. I’m loving Amber’s singing. Ruby and Jade annoyed me a bit but I’m starting to like Clio. Glad that they showed a different personality and not just cardboard cutouts of typical haughty princesses.  

Cedric's Apprentice

     This was the episode I remembered the most and still love, even more than when I first saw it. Cedric’s parents are fun, doing the devil angel thing. His song was nice, it explained the reason why he wants to take over the kingdom. It really shows that he has low self esteem. Even if this was the episode I remembered the most I forgot that he was pretty patient with Sofia when he taught her.

     “Not every royal sorcerer can be as gifted as your father.”

     That line was like a slap to the face. Roland...dude, the hell?

     No wonder he has low self esteem. Even when I chuckled at Baileywick’s burn, that was still sad. Everyone seems to look down on him except Sofia.

     Sofia leaving him rubies arranged into a heart, risking herself with the lizard potion and giving him a gold star gave me diabetes. I feel like magic’s going to be the princess’ forte. I’m seeing a beautiful friendship blooming and I don’t think Cedric’s truly evil, maybe this will go somewhere.

A Royal Mess

     Another catchy song. Amber fanning was hilarious, as well as Cedric’s “Oh it wasn’t me your Majesty, it was the chiiildreeen.” The lesson was simple and nice.

The Shy Princess

     Sadly it’s the typical approach of a shy girl but sorta done better. I like James’ and Zandar’s friendship and I want to know more about the adorable chinese princess. The way Sofia handled Vivian’s shyness was okay. Maybe the reason I thought it was mediocre was because not everyone is gifted or loves music as much as Vivian. I know music helps people deal with their stage fright. Heck, it helped me when performed onstage but what if music wasn’t her hobby? What then? Still, I find her interesting and I really want her to not be suddenly confident like she wasn’t shy at all in the future episodes she will be in.

The Princess Test

     I love the song and I like how Amber gave Hildegard more confidence in herself but something about it doesn’t sit well with me and I don’t know why. Maybe I’m thinking too much into it like what if more than one helped Fauna? Would she have conjured up more books and more obstacles? Maybe it’s because of the way the fairies awarded everyone?

The Little Witch

     This didn’t really sit well with me. Lucinda did a lot of harmful hexes and her being easily forgiven disturbed me. Jade has every right to not invite her. That witch should learn that there are consequences and not everyone can be forgiven so easily. Also where are the adults? If she has been doing this for a while then someone must have at least reported to the king or have done something. Still a kid’s show after all.

Two to Tangu

     The first time we get to see another land and kingdom. Not gonna lie, that carpet also frustrated me. Amber’s ruffled hair is cute though. It was Sofia and Amber’s bonding moments that made this one gold.

Finding Clover

     Clover I swear irritated me a lot and I hated the fact that the episode implied that it was Sofia’s fault too. She did nothing wrong and I just felt bad for her.I love how Sofia threatened the magician.

     “I’ll go to the castle, I’ll get the guards. I’ll get my dad.”

     I do like the lesson though, a pretty realistic moral.

The Amulet and the Anthem

     I adore the Enchancian Anthem especially with their combined voices in the end. I also like how Ruby is more forgiving than Jade. Cedric was really fun in this episode. Belle’s song was nice and Sofia trying to sing along is cute.

Princess Butterfly

     Another favorite episode. Amber’s character development is going well and I’m growing quite fond of her. Wormwood and his sorcerer playing checkers and them sleeping is precious. Cedric’s “NoOO.” and “I CAN’T imAgine what went wrONg.” was hysterical.

     The costume is beautiful but I also love Sofia’s. Cedric manipulating Amber was also good, their interactions are amusing. I also find it funny that Sofia noticed Amber’s attempts on trying to get her amulet but not when Cedric does his schemes.

     Sofia willing to to sacrifice her amulet for her sister and Amber realizing that she doesn’t deserve this was A content. It was so adorable when they leaned their heads on each other.

The Floating Palace

     Sofia’s mermaid form is nice along with Oona and her family. I don’t mind Sven, he actually didn’t annoy me. The animation is improving, the water and clouds look amazing and I love Emily’s design. I also noticed that Cedric is more devious in his sea creature form? Wormwood as a small squid is cute.

     Ariel used to be my favorite and seeing her again just hit me with nostalgia. Wow, Cedric actually tried drowning a child, maybe he gained animal instincts? The whole sequence with Emily stopping the storm was epic. I guess we’ll have more mermaid adventures in the future. It was a good special.

Holiday in Enchancia

     A good holiday special. Wassalia’s one of my favorite songs and Amber hits those notes so right. I love all of the winter get ups except for Amber’s. For a fashionable princess, she surely has the most plain outfit of them all, they basically just made her usual dress darker but her coat makes it a bit better. I didn’t like the reason Aurora was summoned and I felt that her appearance was wasted. It was too short and didn’t have any real meaningful lessons. Sofia could’ve easily thought of that herself.

     I do love that they gave their gifts to the children, especially Amber’s “We have enough presents.” My girl’s growing, I’m proud.  It’s an uplifting episode.

Magic

Fandom: Sofia The First Characters: Cedric, Sofia, others mentioned Relationship: Cedric/reader Request: Sofia the First request Reader is an elf who has grown up with Roland and Cedric. When she developed her magical ability she was forced to leave and learn with her own people. Years later she returns as a teacher for the princes and princesses. She can tame and speak to animals. Upon returning she is greeted warmly by the royal family but Cedric is cold to her when he finds out she is back. No matter what she does Cedric refuses to speak to her. When Sofia finds out that not only is our reader in love with Cedric but Cedric is very much in love in the reader as well. So Sofia comes up with a plan to bring them together. Her and the others decorate Cedric's tower with roses and other flowers, and get Baileywick to bring some champagne as well. Sofia gets Wormwood to even help and lure the reader to the tower. This would lead into a NSFW scene eventually. Cedric would walk into his tower to find everything and would follow rose petals to him bathroom where he would find a very unclothed reader in the large bathtub, hidden with lots of bubbles. I would leave the rest up to you but I can see them both in the tub and it leading to a very sweet and loving scene in the bedroom ;) then at the end Sofia would see the two of them holding hands in the hallway before giggling as the kiss :) Walking through the large hallways, you tried and failed at holding your grin to yourself. The guards must have thought you were crazy but you didn’t care. You were too excited to see your old friends. You had grown up with Cedric and Roland, although you had to admit you were closer to Cedric than to the young prince. but as you grew older and your powers matured, you were forced to leave. The heads of a magic society for elves had come and told you when you were 11 years old that it was compulsory that you attend classes for your magic. The only thing was, those classes were far away from your home. You had cried over the decision for days, unable to believe you were being ripped from your home. Cedric had come to you other night before you left. “Don’t go!” He begged, the hurt in his eyes obvious. You were the only true friend he felt he had, the only one who never saw his mistakes and flaws. You had been the one to stop Roland being cruel to Cedric and many others in fact. You were both kneeling in front of each other in your bedroom. “I have to.” You sniffed, wiping your eyes with your sleeves. “Otherwise, they’ll banish me and I wont be allowed anywhere.” With that thought, fresh tears came on and you wrapped your arms around yourself. “But… isn’t there a way?” Cedric wrapped his arms around you. “No, they said everyone in an Elf family must go.” You hiccupped half way through but Cedric still understood you. “Well, you can come into my family!” Cedric blurted out, desperate to find any way to keep you. “And how would I do that?” you pulled back, not taking him seriously. “You could marry me. Then you would have my last name. And I would be the greatest sorcerer in the land so they wouldn’t dare take you from my side!” Cedric took your hands in his, gripping them. “Oh, Cedric.” You giggled despite the tears, but your smile soon faded. “Im going to miss you.” Cedric looked down at your hands and you had seen the tears in his eyes but what he did next surprised you. He leaned down and, at the same time, raised your hands. His lips touched the back of your right hand for a moment before hot tears slid down his nose and fell onto the back of your hand. That night, Cedric had said his goodbyes to you and you both knew it was best that way. Your farewell party was one person short but you understood. You would have had to be dragged by your ankles the next morning if Cedric had been there. As time had tolled on, you never forgot either Cedric or Roland but you couldn’t bring yourself to return. When you were finished with school, you were put straight into work and work for an elf was scarce and far between. You worked 2 jobs for pennies. The first as a trainer of animals and the second selling positions. That was until 2 weeks ago. You had received a letter and nearly fell out your seat when you saw Rolands name. He wrote about a ‘business proposal’, asking if you would like to come work for the king who just so happened to be Roland. He offered you double what both your jobs combined paid along with accommodation in the castle. How could you say no? You had heard through rumours that Cedric worked for Roland as well, as their fathers had. you were snapped from your thoughts by the guard turning to you sharply. “The royal family are in the main hall. They wish to meet you before you retire to your chambers for the night.” He told you, smiling kindly. “Yes, I would love to.” You returned the smile and continued to follow him. You only had a small bag with you as your other luggage had arrived a few days before you. You approached a large, grand door with beautiful woodcarvings around it and knew where you were. The guard opened the door first and stepped inside, holding it open for you. “Your majesties, Lady [f/n] [l/n].” He announced, rather grandly. You could get used to being introduced like that. But the second you stepped into the room, you were distracted. Roland sat on his throne, the same one his father had sat on when you were younger. He had grown up just as you had always thought he would. To one side were 3 people. One was a beautiful woman with chocolate brown hair and wearing a lavished pink dress. The other 2 were children who were obviously twins, a boy and a girl with blonde hair. The girl was scowling slightly, as if trying to decide whether she disliked you or she felt above you. She wore a dress similar to the woman except it was yellow. The boy had on a green jacket with a trousers that were a shade darker. But to Rolands other side was a girl. She looked the same age as the other 2 but she looked different. She had light brown hair and a small but sweet smile on her lips. Her eyes were kind and she wore a purple dress. She looked like the woman while the 2 other children looked like Roland. Roland rose from his throne and descended the couple of steps to meet you as you walked towards him. “Your majesty.” You smiled, curtsying and bowing your head out of respect. “Now, I’ll be having none of that from you, old friend.” He chuckled and as you straighten up, he wrapped his arms around you. You returned the hug, always dazed by the memorised that were flooding back to you. “let me introduce you to my family.” He said as you both pulled back. You glanced over his shoulder and were surprised to see all of the others had followed Roland. “This is my wife, Queen Miranda.” He gestured to the woman with the brown hair who was smiling. “We’ve heard so much about you.” She chuckled. “And these are my children, James and Amber and Mirandas daughter, Sofia.” Roland gestured to each child as he said their name. “nice to meet you.” You smiled, crouching down to their level. “My names [y/n]. I’ll be teaching you magic.” “We are so excited!” Sofia was nearing hopping from one foot to the other as James nodded. After a very warm welcome from the royal family, you were allowed to retire to your chambers for the night. You were shattered and couldn’t wait to get to bed, that was until you turned a corner and saw a man walking down the hallway towards you. He didn’t notice you as he seemed to be scowling at the floor as he walked. He was a little taller than you and wore a long, deep purple cloak with a dark yellow bow tie. His hair was black apart from the small area at the front of his head which was white. “Cedric?” Your voice said his name before you could stop yourself. As his name rolled off your tongue, the man jumped and looked up. His mouth dropped open slightly when he saw you. It was him! Your heart jumped into your throat as you both stared at each other. But then he seemed to realise something and suddenly turned away from you, storming down the hallway and away from you. You didn’t fully register what had happened but by the time he had turned the corner and vanished. Maybe he hadn’t recognised you? Or maybe it was just the shock of it all? You didn’t know. But what you did know was you were tired and Cedric would be about tomorrow. So you went to your room. ----------------timeskip------------------ Something was really wrong. Cedric hadn’t came anywhere near you. You saw him from a distance but never closer than 100 yards. Cedric, from what you found out from the children, was normal distance and rather resentful. you were curious. How had the sweet boy grown up into someone like this? It was nearly 4pm on a Friday, which meant the children were a little rowdier than normal. Your classes ran 11am-5pm on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays to allow them time for their other responsibilities. You had a room in the back of the castle. It’s a cosy room with a couple of rows of desks with your main desk sitting up front. “miss [l/n]?” Sofia asked, kneeling in her chair with her hand up. You were sitting at your desk, lazily marking some papers. But your mind was a hundred miles away. Well, a lot less. Only just down a few corridors. To cedric. “Yes?” You smiled at her but you had a feeling she wasn’t going to ask you about work. “father said you knew him when you were children!” James was bouncing on his seat and from the look in his, Sofia and Ambers eyes, they had been waiting to ask you questions on his for a while. “Yes, I was very close friends when we were young.” You nodded, getting up and walking around your desk to lean on the other side. “And you knew Mr Cedric?” Sofia asked. “Yes, we were very close.” You smiled, trying to hide the pain in your voice. “Really?” Sofia looked intrigued. “Yes, in fact, I remembered he once asked me to marry him.” You giggled fondly, looking down. “That doesn’t sound like him.” Amber raised an eyebrow. “he was very sweet when we were children.” You shrugged your shoulders but quickly realised you were thinking too much about this. “right, I think that’s enough for today.” You pushed yourself up off the desk and walked around, feeling a blush rising to your cheeks. You heard the three children gathering their things and the scrapping of chairs. you turned back to them and smiling, bidding the two twins goodbye. Sofia held back, her little mind working hard. “Is everything okay, sofia?” You asked, crouching down so you were the same height as her. “I was just wondering about you and Cedric.” She tilted her head to one side. “What do you mean?” You asked, “Well, hes been a lot sadder since you came. But you were close friends when you were younger.” It was more a statement than a question. “Some times people change, my dear.” You smiled sadly at her. “But you still like him?” She asked. “Of course.” Sofia watched you very casually. Despite her youth, she was intelligent and understood adults more than most. She saw the way you spoke about Cedric. She saw how happy you were when he came into the room and how sad you got when he avoided you. But, above all, she saw how Cedric looked at you when you weren’t looking. “Do you love him?” She suddenly asked, instantly noticing your widened eyes and sharp intake of breath. After a moment of debating in your mind, you knew she would have already worked out the answer. “very much.” You answered. Sofia looked past you and seemed to see something you couldn’t. She saw Cedric, standing outside the room, his eyes glued to your back and his mouth open. He took a deep breath and started to walk into the room when you stood up. “Sofia, its been a long time. Hes obviously change. And it doesn’t matter about my old feelings.” You said. Sofia saw the sorrow in your eyes but her attention was pulled to look behind you. She saw Cedric pause then turned and moved quickly out of sight. Sofias little mind was now going faster than a train as she quickly said ‘goodbye’ to you and ran out the room. She went in search of Clover who she found in her room. “We need to help them!” She vowed, her little mind conjuring up a plan. -----------timeskip ----------------- You were sitting in your chambers, a book out on your lap till you heard a tapping at your window. It made you jump as you sat up straight. It was late at night, close to 10.30 pm and you were in your nightwear. A long, beautiful silk nightgown. Pulling on a cardigan, you walked over to your window and pulled open the curtains. You were greeted by Woodworm the raven. You had seen him perched on Cedrics shoulder and, now that you thought about it, you don’t think you had ever seen the two apart. You pulled the window up and the raven flew into the room. He flew around in a circle a couple of times and then to the door, where he tapped his beak on the door a couple of times. Frowning, you walked over and opened the door for him. He flew out and hovered outside. Was he waiting for you? Curiously, you stepped outside and closed the door over. It was obvious he wanted you to follow him. You started to walk, following the raven as he lead you across the castle. You tried to remembered where you had come from but failed after the 8th or 9th turn. You didn’t stop until you came to the bottom of a set of stairs. But it wasn’t just a plain set of stairs. all up the steps was deep red petals. Your eyes widen as you looked up to the raven as he flew up to perch on a wooden beam. He didn’t seem to want to continue with you. You carefully started to climb the stairs, your eyes following the petals. Who had done this? It must have been specifically for you or why would Woodworm have come to you? Woodworm. Was it Cedric? Your heart started to beat hard as you came to a door. You pushed the door open to come into a chamber just like yours, at least in size. There was the same sized bed and a desk. But there was books that cluttered every flat surface and on the floor. There was a number of bottles, both filled and empty around. before you could fully decide whos room this was, you noticed the door to the bathroom was opened slightly and a light, warm glow came from inside. The petals lead into the room so you decided to follow it. Like your bathroom, there was a grand bath that was sunken into the floor so you had to climb down into it. The bath itself was deep enough to stand in and still be covered up to your shoulders, but there was a rim that ran around the edge of the tub for sitting. There was a number of candles that had been lit around the bath. The bath was drawn and filled with bubbles. As you stepped inside, the warmth hit you and you wanted nothing more than to shed your clothes and jump in. It looked so warm and inviting. Stepping inside, you slowly took off your cardigan as you walked further inside looking around. You pulled your hair up into a loose bun with a number of loose strands that fell around your face to keep the majority of your hair dry. Once you were sure no one was looking, you slid out of your gown and undergarments and left them in a pile at the side before sliding into the water. It was blissful! Your eyes fell shut as you leaned against the rim on the bath. The bath was very deep and came up to your shoulders. The bubbles smelled lovely and you felt like you could sleep in here. You were facing the door in case someone came in. There was a towel to your right so you were sure you would be fine. Your mind wondered to Cedric. Had he really done this for you? But speak of the devil and he shall appear. You heard a small gasp from the door and your eyes flew open. There, standing in the middle of the door with his mouth open was Cedric. “[y/n]?” He stuttered out, his hair falling in front of his eyes and he pushed his back. “Cedric?” You replied, suddenly realising that if he was surprised you were here, it wasn’t him who organised this. You sat up slightly, unaware of the water lowering to just cover your chest. But, once you did, you covered your breasts with one hand but you were thankful that the bubbles seemed to cover you. “I-i-Im sorry.” He started to back away, which caught you off guard. he hadn’t told you to get out, even though this must have been his bathroom and possibly his room. “Would you like to join me?” You suddenly asked, the words slipping past your lips before you could stop them. Cedric froze, his minds racing as he looked at you. You saw it in his eyes that he really did want to. You closed your eyes and twisted around so you were sitting more to the centre of the bath. You Your back was now to Cedric and you wondered if he was going to join you. You heard the sound of rustling of clothes and the padding of barefoot on the bathroom floor until you felt the water moved as someone climbed into the bath. You were only waiting an extra few seconds to make sure he was okay when you were surprised to feel a pair of hands touching your sides delicately. Your eyes opened just as you felt hot breath on your shoulder then a soft pair of lips. You let out a gasp that turned into a soft moan as Cedric stared to kiss your shoulder and neck. you felt him pull away slightly and you turned to glance over your shoulder at him. His cheeks were bright red and his eyes glazed over with lust. He leaned down, only an inch away from your lips when he stopped. You closed the distance and kissed him, nearly unable to believe this was happening. The kiss was passionate and you felt your head spinning. You felt your own lust building and you wanted nothing more than to realise it. You reached your hand between your legs, gently touching your swollen clit. You let out a moan against his lips as his hands pulled you closer. “Cedric.” You moaned against his lips, your eyes fluttering open to meet his. “I heard you.” Cedric suddenly said. He saw the confusion in your eyes and decided to continue with a deep breath. “When you were speaking to the children.” Your eyes widened as you sat up, your hand pulling away from your core so you could twist around to face him. You ducked a little further under the water as you right hand came up, crossed over your front to start rubbing your left shoulder. “it is okay.” Cedric smiled. He reached over and took your right hand, his eyes filled with hope. “I-I fell the same.” “But, the last few weeks since ive been here. You haven’t spoken to me once. You keep avoiding me.” You shake your head slightly as if you were trying to shake out his lies from your mind. You saw him shrink back slightly, embarrassed by his actions maybe? “You came back. And you were so beautiful, kind and gentle. You haven’t changed a bit. But I have. I am not the same boy you grew up with. I wanted to believe you had, I told myself you would have changed and you wouldn’t want to be my friend, let alone anything more. If you had not reciprocated my feelings, it would have been easier is you weren’t the same as I once knew you. But you were. You were everything I remembered and more. And I just couldn’t face you. You were my light and you still are. But one thing never changed. I have always loved you, even as a boy, I loved you.” You stated at him, wide-eyed. He saw this and took your widened eyes as disbelief. Ducking his head, he raised your hand to his mouth and pressed a soft kiss to the back of your hand like he had done all those years ago. You stared as he looked up at you, his mouth barley leaving your hand so you could still feel his hot breath on your skin. “I still love you.” He whispered, loud enough for you to hear him. Your heart jumped out of your body as you blinked rapidly, barley able to believe it. you moved quickly, wrapping both your arms around him and kissing him deeply. You didn’t care that your bare body pressed against his own. Nor did you care if the whole kingdom knew you loved him. his arms wrapped around your waist as the two of you sunk a little further underwater. Cedrics mind was racing. He could feel your breasts pressed against his chest. He was here, holding you naked. Nothing more perfect could have come to his mind as he pulled you closer. He felt himself harden under the water, barely able to contain himself anymore as he allowed himself to finally succumb to his desires in the hope you would feel the same. You could feel him, pressed up against you, his member rubbing against your stomach as your own lust grew. You gently pushed him back to the ledge and the two of you hopped up. You instantly straddled him, not breaking the kiss as you felt him against your core. The water came down passed your breast and allowed Cedric to view them, slightly covered in bubbles, when you pulled away from the kiss. His hands trailed up to gently cup and squeeze them, both his and your breath hitching as he did so. You let out a breathy moan as your eyes rolled shut. You felt Cedric lean forward and he started to kiss along your collar bone and back. “Cedric?” You breathed, feeling how he shuddered with pleasure as you said his name so you took this as a acknowledgement. “May-may we go through to the bedroom?” You asked. “Of course.” He pulled away and you moved off him. You stepped up onto the step to climb out when you noticed Cedric was still, frozen like ice. The water was now down to your knees, exposing your fully naked body to him. His mouth dropped open and if there wasn’t lust in his eyes before, it definitely was now. You decided to continue and elegantly climbed out the bath, walking to the door with as extra sway in your hips as you walked. You reached up and pulled your hair down, allowing it seductively fall across your wet, naked body. You glanced over your shoulder. “Are you coming?” You asked, pouting out your lower lip slightly. Cedric jumped to life and clamped out the tub. You smiled as he came up behind you. “I am not worthy.” He mumbled, his hand reaching out to move your hair to the side and kiss your neck. You closed your eyes, loving his words. You twisted in his arms, and wrapped your arm around his neck to pull him into the bedroom. The two of you fell back onto the bed, your passion for this man unable to be swayed by anything in the world. It felt like you were destined to love him. No matter what. Your legs were spread and Cedric between them. He quickly lined himself up with your entrance, his eyes seemed to be glued to your body but looked up to your face as he thrust inside you. He watched your face contorted with pleasure as you gasped. “Oh Cedric!” You cried out as she started to move inside you at a rather steady speed. “[y/n].” Cedric whispered, his eyes darting across your body . Your body responded to his as the two of you moved in perfect harmony. It felt natural to be like this with him and you were very aware how easily you had fallen into bed with him. But you didn’t care. He was worshipping you unlike anything you have ever experienced in your life. No one ever looked at you with even a 10th of the adoration that he had. You wrapped your legs around his waist as he moved in the most pleasurable way. His hair hung down, slightly covering his eyes as his cheeks were red. You loved the way he looked like this and, judging by how rapidly he was looking across your whole body, he felt the same. You rolled your hips against his and you heard him let out a groan. His speed started to increase as his hands gripped at your hips. You could feel the coil in your stomach tighten. From everything that happened in the bath, the way he looked at you and the way he was staring at you and moving inside you, you couldn’t control your body. “Cedric, i-i-I-“ you tried to say just as your orgasm hit you like a train. your body writhed under his, your walls tightening in the most pleasurable way. Cedric couldn’t deny himself the pleasure any more. He came inside you, spilling his seed deep into you as your walls massaged him. Cedric only just managed to collapse next to you, his heart hammering in his chest much like your own. You cuddled closer to him. From the heat of the bath plus the love-making, the two of you were boiling so didn’t get under the covers immediately. You lay on his chest and felt Cedric playing idly with your hair. “Stay tonight?” Cedric muttered, a little fear in his voice. You nodded, looking up at him lovingly. -----------------time skip------------ You sneaked back to your chambers in the early morning. Cedric and you had spoken most of the night and it was clear you would both have to get used to sneaking between the two rooms. But now, you didn’t mind it as you walked in the garden with Cedric hand in hand. It was the early evening and the sun was offering a beautiful sunset that was bright and beautiful. Neither of you noticed the purple dressed princess and her animal friends peaking at you from behind a bush. “He looks sooo happy when hes with her!” Sofia smiled, impressed that her plan worked. “Yeah, he really does.” Clover agreed. Cedric raised your hand and pressed a kiss to it. It was a small thing, but it meant the world to you. Just like you meant the world to him. It was like magic.

TtLBG Review

Okay, I amend my earlier criticism about Goodwyn not being about to undo the spell - that was explained in dialogue. Questions I still have though: Is Cordelia older or younger than Cedric? I’m guessing they’re only a year apart to not have it make much of a difference. We know Cordelia is 10 in the flashback for her Sorceress’ Ball and while Cedric is a lil bit shorter than her, girls do tend to spring up taller than boys before they both hit puberty. It seems a bit harsh of the crowd to judge a younger brother so viciously where as an older one who might have already “debuted” as a sorcerer the year previous might have been under closer scrutiny from his magical peers. Second: His merlin mushroomin’ bangs. They’re black in one frame and then white in the other. I’m ASSUMING it’s a side effect of trying to undo the spell on Cordelia’s own hair. This isn’t even acknowledged, granted there was a lot going on at the time, but still. Third: WHERE IS WINIFRED TO DEFEND HER BABIES?!

Four: How does Cordelia’s own daughter not know her mother wears a wig? Calista seemed pretty surprised by this.

Things I noticed: The cameos of younger Tilly, Roland, and the previous King Roland are an obvious set up for the succession episode so I’m sure this isn’t the last of the flashbacks. (Anyone notice the Miranda look-a-like in the crowd btw? Kinda weird.) Roland pouring water into hats... clearly we had a trouble maker for a prince. The clothing differences between eras was nice too, just from a fashion perspective.  Just things to AWW: “Cordy” and “Ceddy”! Aunt Tilly being Aunt Tilly. Goodwyn wearing colors very similar to Cedric’s royal sorcerer attire or vice versa. Baileywick getting screen time.  I’m gonna rewatch and take screencaps now. If I think of anything more to add, you know I will ;)

‘They only noticed when I made a mistake!’ ‘And you made a lot of mistakes.’ ‘So did YOU!’

Oh boy. There are so many thoughts going through my head but these are the things I really liked about the episode (and you can discuss with me about):

- the song. It fits him so well, and the animation is so smooth at some points. I especially love the way Sofia is running away after she hands him the picture. Also I wonder why they introduced him as a teenager? Are they going to use that model again? That would be awesome.

- I love how they kept him evil (at first). I mean that was his only dream ever since he was a kid, his only purpose was to prove that he is indeed ‘Cedric the Great’ it would be highly unrealistic to just drop it -Wormwood is the real threat for the kingdom here smh

-Greylock hahahahah of cause he’s evil. That little pointy eared smiley cake.

-NOOOO BAILEYWICK and he was so nice asking about his trip ;w;

-finally Sofia knows the truth -’The worst thing you did was say we weren’t friends. Because I KNOW that’s not true.’ -that little Hand grabby during his apology - the scene I drew above. You know what that reminded me of? The ‘When you wish upon a Well’ Episode. Roland said: ‘My wish didn’t turn out so well either. But that’s a story for another time.’ He seemed to really hate the Well, so it must’ve been something really bad. Did they ever mention what he wished for? What were those mistakes Cedric was talking about? Gosh, now I’m curious about Roland’s backstory. - Second life, second chances. -’THAT’S ME!’ *70′s outro music playing*

gritty, gory, and gorgeous.

felicity’s first boyfriend; why she cares so much about what other’s think and why she often wishes that her heart was cold and cruel.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: TOXIC / ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS

"will you go on a date with me, princess felicity?” the boy, age eighteen, asked the, at the time, sixteen-year old girl.

the question was simple. yes or no. she just had to choose one --- and yet, the small princess found herself with a half-forced smile, feeling something off about the boy and his question. of course, she didn’t know how to say no to people.

so, with a soft smile, she murmured a quiet, “yes.”

that was where it all began, with that single, little word.

the date was simple, nothing extravagant, not at all how felicity had imagined her first date to go. it wasn’t that it was bad, it was just that it wasn’t good.

“how was the date, fellie?” her mother asked, excited to hear all about it.

“it was fine ...” the princess would murmur, before dragging herself up to her bedroom.

“how was the date, princess?” baileywick would ask, about an hour later, after being sent up to the small girl’s room by sofia.

“it was fine ...” the princess would repeat, in the same, murmured voice.

“how was the date, little felicity?” her uncle james would ask, at around ten o’clock at night, after having a long discussion with sofia and baileywick.

“it was fine ...” the princess would repeat, once again; this time, her voice muffled by her hiding her face in a pillow.

“how was the date, fel?” serendipity would ask the sad girl, once everyone else in the castle had gone to sleep.

“it was fine ...”

that was the only answer that she would give. she proceeded to go on dates with this very same boy.

the questions, the observations --- they started out simple.

“fellie, why are your eyes red?”

“oh, i watched a sad movie.”

“fellie, how did you get that bruise?”

“oh, i ran into my desk at school.”

“fellie, did you run into your desk again?”

“... yeah, i guess i did.”

then, the questions, the observations --- they became more serious.

“felicity, why are you never home anymore?”

“i was with my boyfriend.”

“felicity, does your boyfriend love you?”

“i’d like to think so.”

“felicity, does your boyfriend hurt you?”

“... no.”

she knew the correct answers to all of these questions, of course; she chose not to share them, though.

it got to the point that she stopped showing up to school. she stopped attending royal events. she stopped attending family dinners. she stopped speaking to anyone who wasn’t him.

“baby, i’m sorry. for the bruises, for all of it --- forgive me?”

he requested; she did.

“baby, don’t leave me. i’m more important than school, aren’t i? stay with me?”

he requested; she did.

“baby, don’t go. the royal ball will go on with out you --- sit down.”

he demanded; she did.

“baby, have didn’t with me instead.”

he demanded; she did.

“don’t speak to them, anymore, or i swear to god ---”

he threatened; she didn’t.

she spoke to nobody but him for months.

“i don’t think i want to do this anymore,” the small princess sputtered out, feeling afraid.

that day marked one year since the two had gone on their first date.

“... you want me to ask for forgiveness again?” he laughed, an incredulous smile adorning his lips. “like ... you’re telling me my love isn’t enough for you? isn’t right for you? come on, felicity. i say you’re being ridiculous."

“i don’t ... want you to ask for forgiveness, i just --- i-i wanna believe what i heard somewhere, a long time ago, that ... that love is free. --- and kind! and --- and you always try to act like you’re ... all humble and wise. you act like i don’t have bruises all over, and like you don’t scream at me every single day! and maybe that’s how you love, but ---” she breathed, tears forming in her green eyes.

“--- but what?”

“... but what you call love is destroying my life! and it’s --- destroying your soul, if you ever had one and --- and i don’t think you even know what it means to love, or to be loved ---” she cried, taking a step away from him.

“felicity, look. we’re still so young. we’ve got so much to learn, don’t we? you’re just corning me with your words --- and you’re doing it to yourself to, come on now,” he murmured, stepping forward and reaching out for the princess.

“w-what --- no, i’m not ---”

“look, this is the real, alright, princess? this is real life,” he assured. “this ... this gritty, gory, and gorgeous thing we have going on? this is love.”

jerking away from him, she let out a breathy laugh, "no, it’s not! this is not love! and, i know, that i have never been loved before, but, god, i know for certain that this isn’t it!”

“fellie, come on, calm down and cooperate, alright? we can talk this out ---”

“i don’t want to talk this out! i want freedom! and protection!”

“come on, princess, i can give you that ---”

"it’s been a year! an entire year, and all i have to show is bruises!”

“oh, please, you act like those bruises ain’t badges of honour ---”

"what do you mean --- ‘honour’?!” she cried.

“felicity, you are not leaving me! you owe me everything!”

“i can’t owe what you never gave! and, god, the love you gave was never love!” felicity screamed, tears streaming down her face. “you don’t know anything about love! you’re ... you’re warped, you’re sick! you’re so full of these twisted ideas of love!”

“felicity chancia ---”

“i’m not doing this anymore!”

that same night, felicity went home and told her mother. she told baileywick. she told her uncle james. she told her closest friends at school, though mostly as a warning --- stay away from this boy. he will destroy you. soon enough, though, it had gotten around to most people in enchancia, as well as a few in auradon --- royal secrets could never really stay secrets, after all.

although felicity remained soft, that year of her life effected her in a way she hadn’t thought possible; it made her even more self conscious that she had previously been, and it made her wish to be heartless and cold.

she was made of sunshine and stardust, though. she was made of milk and honey; nothing would ever change that about her.
