fun fact: elvina once tried to kill xanthous

Ohh, that explains why they hate each other so much! I assumed it was only because of what Empress Elvina told us.

...and that's why I should've asked for both sides of the story first. That was a mistake on my part-

Ooh can you write a fic for if conner and Alex (or other members if the assembly) find out that Xanthous has a husband and or meet elrik irl?

Married!?!? -A Xanrik Reveal Fic

It started on what was supposedly a normal Tuesday. Alex got up as she always did and brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, and changed into her official outfit. There was an Assembly Meeting today, but Alex had gotten better at dealing with them over her years as Fairy Godmother.

When she exited her room, she saw Emeralda slipping out of Xanthous’ room, a small, private smile on her face. Emeralda rarely smiled, seeming often apathetic and aloof. So the fact that she was smiling clearly meant something important.

Emeralda knocked on Mother Goose’s room and muttered something to her when the door opened. Alex couldn’t hear it, but she shook her head and moved on. She would probably find out soon enough anyway.

In the meeting room, Alex sat in her normal seat first, Conner sitting beside her. Everyone else filed in over time. Xanthous seemed to be uncharacteristically nervous. His flames were not the docile, fluttering fires they usually were, but instead flew around him like a flurry. The smoke was harsher then usual, spiraling higher into the air.

“Calm down.” Emeralda said, putting her hand on his for a moment, completely unbothered by the violent flames. “Nothing bad will happen. Trust me.”

Alex looked at the duo confused, as did most of the others. Mother Goose was chuckling, tapping her pen against the table. Tangerina had pulled her hair down and then started to put it into a braid, her fingers making quick progress as a rare smile graced her face. Skylene was toying with different hairstyles, her hair adjusting to different lengths. Clearly they had something going on and wanted to impress someone, or something.

Rosetta seemed confused, but she clearly had an inkling of an idea, while Coral just looked baffled.

Xanthous hummed slightly, then nodded. “Continue. Sorry.” his flames didn’t calm down, the only thing betraying his calm facade.

“Right.” said Red, holding her hands up for a moment before lowering them. “Right. So, we have records of a really old school in our kingdom. We don’t have records of anything that happened to them, and I was wondering if anyone had any information on it.” she said.

Emeralda coughed slightly. “We know what you’re referring to, and it was transferred to a different place, don’t worry.” she said.

Red nodded. “Also, we want a revision of our current trade plan with the Corner Kingdom.” she said, pulling a file out of her briefcase. “Currently we…” Alex zoned out, knowing she wasn’t needed for this.

After a couple more discussions, Alex looked at the agenda. “Okay, Empress Elvina, you wanted to say something, right?”

“Yes, I would like to introduce a new Royal into the Assembly.” she said.

“Like hell you are.” Xanthous said, standing up. All his pretense of being calm was gone and he looked furious. “I was going to do that.”

“What.” Elvina turned to look at him. “Elrik is my brother!”

Alex looked at her, alarmed.

“He’s my husband, and not only that but he runs my goddamned kingdom.”

“You’re married?” said Conner, but it was lost in the yelling from the Emperess.

“So. I’m related to him, and he was staying with me.” Elvina said, standing up and lamming her hand down on the table in fury.

“Well, considering he is co-regent, and soon to be representative of the Kingdom I run, I will be introducing him to the Assembly.” Xanthous’ fire jumped in the air maniacally.

Emeralda got up from her seat and slid to the doors. In all the commotion, she wasn’t noticed, and Alex glanced over at her, trying to see where she was. Not stopping her best friend.

She clicked open the doors, and a man stepped through.

He cleared his throat and both Elvina and Xanthous immediately quieted down.

“Sorry about their behavior.” he said to Alex. “I take it you’re Brystal’s replacement? She’s told me a lot about you at times.” he smiled.

“Who are you.” Conner asked, standing up. “Ah, her other grandchild. Nice to meet you. I’m King Elrik Elderwood-Hayfield. Elvina’s sister, Xanthous’ husband, and current regent of Hell and Demons.”

OK so I commented this on sad-little-flame-mans tumblr as well but like if elrik and xanthous married elvina would be xanthouses sister in law what do I do with this information.

Well, first you laugh imagining the wedding.

But next we have to consider how long it would take Xanthous to even be comfortable being with Elvina since the last time they met. This is sad.

Of course, once he is comfortable being around her again, literally every interaction they have will either be the most awkward thing ever or the funniest.

Now imagine every single Ever After Assembly Meeting where they have to interact.

Well now I need to write a oneshot for xanthous and elvina arguing like siblings during the happily ever after assembly but I don't have ao3 or wattpad oof

Two things:

I do not think that Xanthous would ever be comfortable enough around Elvina to bicker like siblings, or do more then tolerate her.

If you wanna write it, because it sounds hilarious, just send it to me in an ask and I’ll post it.
