Valentines prompt?

Feysands first Valentine’s Day after having nyx?

A/N: I love this prompt! Thank you for sending it in and I hope you enjoy. x

Warnings: none, pure fluff

prompt requests

"Nyx is fine."

"But what if he's not?"

"Then they would've called."

"They haven't called."

"Exactly." Rhysand was trying his best to be patient, but Feyre knew that he was getting annoyed. Being their first date night after having Nyx, Feyre was an absolute mess while Rhysand was the epitome of calm. "We're going out, we look hot, it's Valentine's Day, and we're going to enjoy ourselves, damn it."

With a dramatic sigh, Feyre settled deeper into the passenger seat as Rhysand drove around the parking garage, looking for an open spot. His hand snuck across the center console and took her hand, easing her anxiety, just a smidge.

Yet, when he parked and cut the engine, Feyre didn't move. "I'd feel better if I just called."

Rhysand gave her a look but didn't argue as she took her phone out of her clutch and found Nesta's number.

She didn't answer.

Then she called Cassian.

Who also didn't answer.

When she was just on the verge of panic, her phone vibrated and she slid her finger across the screen as she brought it to her ear. "What the hell?!"

Nesta's calm voice came through the phone. "Aren't you supposed to be enjoying yourself?"

"I told you she wouldn't even last an hour." Cassian's voice came from somewhere in the distance.

Feyre scowled. "I just...wanted to make sure that he had everything he needed."

"You packed enough for him to last the entire weekend and then some." Nesta chuckled. "I know you're worried, and that's perfectly normal, but you know that he's perfectly taken care of. He just ate and fell asleep with Cass in the rocking chair. Yes, he gave us a good burp, and we're about to take him upstairs to change him and get him ready for bed." Feyre opened her mouth to cut in, but Nesta kept going. "If anything goes wrong, I'll call you right away, but it won't. This sweet baby loves his Auntie and Uncle's house."

Feyre knew that. It was the only reason that she even agreed to letting Nyx stay the night there while she and Rhys enjoyed their first date night since the baby had been born, three months before. She was glad Nyx was handling the separation okay, even if Feyre herself was going insane.

"Alright, well, I'll be there no later than nine tomorrow morning," Feyre said, while Rhysand impatiently clicked his tongue.

"I know, you've told me a million times," Nesta said, not unkindly. "Please try to have fun. We have everything under control."

"Okay, okay," Feyre said, throwing open her door, to Rhysand's delight. "Thank you."

After a round of I love you's and farewells, Feyre and Rhysand were walking out of the parking garage and onto the city streets. He took her hand and pulled her close, trying his best to bring her into reality.

"I know it's hard," he said, gently, "and I miss him too, but I'm excited to be here with you. I miss being alone with you."

Feyre missed that, too. It's weird going from a couple to a family of three. One day, all your focus is on each other and the next, every bit of your attention is on someone else, leaving no time to build each other up, to focus on one another's needs.

She stopped and faced him, nearly a block from their restaurant. As his brows furrowed in confusion, Feyre leaned up on her toes and kissed him, slowly. His hands snuck around her waist and he pulled her closer to him, sinking into their kiss. For just a moment, the rest of the world faded away and they were the only two that remained.

Feyre leaned back, just enough to see the mischief in her husband's eyes. "Let's go eat. Get full. A little drunk. Then take me home and maybe you'll get lucky."

A brow quirked. "Maybe?"

"I don't want to seem too forward," she teased.

Rhysand grinned. "Yes, because that would be awful."

With a laugh, feeling much more relaxed, Feyre kissed him again before dragging him down the street to make their reservation.

"Fuck!" Nyx cursed out, his fist angrily hitting the corridor wall before he let out a immediate hiss at the impact. This night was shaping up to be a trainwreck, feelings of anger, guilt, pain all bubbling to the surface. He ripped his mask off, tossing it to the floor as he heard someone approach. "Fuck off, I am not in the mood," He spat out, spinning around to face the other with a cold glare.

For @brckensociety continued from here for tracking purposes.

Andy wasn't too concerned with Tony finding out Nyx was at his office considering his younger brother had shown up to the building maybe twice in his life, but there were eyes and ears everywhere, and while he didn't care if his brother knew he was seeing Nyx, she did, and despite his usual selfish nature, he'd honored her request to keep things between them quiet if only so she could maintain her friendship with his younger sibling. His smirk quirked the corner of his lips at her admission and he nodded slightly before looking up at her. "Good to know you can't get enough of me." he teased, unable to help himself. He stood and moved around his desk, leaning on the edge of it and pulling her into him. "You know I always love to see you." he assured her, his smirk uplifting to a proper smile at the corner. "You could've called, I would've met you." That was part of the perks of being the boss, for the most part, he could come and go as he pleased as long as he still managed to get his work done.

"Someone's been up here," Cade cursed out, anger seeping through his voice as he noticed bits and pieces missing from his personal inventory. Lifting up his box, his eyes narrowed in disbelief, there was only one person able to get into it beside himself and that was impossible. Bringing it with him, he stepped outside of his office and headed down to the parlor, finding Nyx there. "You wouldn't have something to do with this, would you?" He accused, tossing the box into the air and using a charm to keep it from crashing to the ground.

vulnerable moments like these were rare for jupiter, but ever since he met nyx he's gotten comfortable with it. it took a while as he was fickle about them in the beginning, it wasn't her fault it was just years of being on his own and the lack of trust reflecting. now she's his world. his eyes were open to admire nyx from behind, how the moonlight peaked through the blinds to show the outline of her shoulder. the words fell out on their own from there. when she turned around, his eyes bounced between the delicate smile and pools of brown. " is this our first 'i love you.' ? " his hands finding her waist when she leaned in. " because, i'm saying it first. "

brother got‏‏‎ ‎bg3‏‏‎ ‎for christmas and we started a multiplayer save though idk how long it'll be until he starts wanting to play on his own. for the time being i like being the one who knows more about a video game though. his experience so far:

-his character is a‏‏‎ ‎halfling‏‏‎ ‎rogue‏‏‎ ‎named‏‏‎ ‎bjorn.‏‏‎ ‎my theory on why he chose to be a halfling is he's tall irl and hates it so he is engaging in some casual wish fulfilment. which hey same man look at my‏‏‎ ‎dragonborn‏‏‎ ‎lmao‏‏‎ ‎

-bjorn‏‏‎ ‎is really rude to everyone because his background is criminal. he still asks everyone to join the party when they meet though

-he thinks‏‏‎ ‎wyll‏‏‎ ‎is hot‏‏‎ ‎(good taste!!!) but so far dislikes‏‏‎ ‎astarion‏‏‎ ‎for‏‏‎ ‎"stealing his thunder" as the rogue of the party. while i like‏‏‎ ‎astarion‏‏‎ ‎that is very funny. it's also been cool to see his reactions to the characters as someone who knows zero about them going in.

-i said "thank youuuu~" in a singsongy voice to‏‏‎ ‎lae'zel after she complimented my battle prowess and he asked if i had a crush on her which like Yeah. but i didn't think you were gonna call me out on that Immediately. also ‏‏‎if i'm that obvious with her i wonder how much of a fool i'll make of myself once‏‏‎ ‎karlach‏‏‎ ‎shows up.

Taps chin thoughtfully. Does the Resident Evil franchise fit somewhere in the Emperor’s universe? And is so, where and how?

slaps the hood of the mako. the beauty of mass effect is that it can fit as many franchises in it, if you're strong enough.

i think the classic re-in-mass effect is that umbrella is still the same shady corporation just with ties to cerberus, or something. but i personally prefer exploring that 600 year gap between the end of the main trilogy and the beginning of andromeda.

and this will only be about re8, bc that's the re that means the most to me, personally.

we've seen from the experiments on virmire, that one mission in me1 where a mining team turned into husks, the arrival dlc, cerberus in me3, the entire purpose of sanctuary, that the reapers require organic life to interact with their technology. the emperor hasn't exactly forbidden organic life from interacting with reaper technology for the very same reasons: the spread of indoctrination, the development of reaper infrastructure, etc. most people keep their distance from reaper technology (even though it's everywhere now) because they just don't want to mess with it.

but the emperor is always interested in seeing how creative organic life can get with reaper tech.

miranda (not to be confused with thee miranda lawson who was the head of cerberus after the end of the war) was a human biologist working on an isolated colony in the terminus systems. the fungal root at the heart of the colony was really a reaper artifact, the fungus having been affected by indoctrination and began growing all over it, around it, and rising up to the surface. after the death of her daughter due to an epidemic that swept through the colony, miranda came in direct contact with the fungal root and became indoctrinated. she then began dedicating herself to studying the interaction between reaper technology and the fungus, eventually turning to worshipping the reaper-fungal root. in doing so, she began to shape herself into how she perceived the emperor. (in many ways, miranda's not that different from the illusive man in me3, but only in the ways she aggressively used the reaper-fungal root. she's not motivated by a desire to advance organic evolution, she's mostly motivated by grief and her desire to bring back her daughter.)

which is a huge transgression. the emperor discourages people worshipping her (because she's not a god, she's jewish), but can't necessarily stop people from doing little things like making offerings or mentioning her as a presence that watches over people. what is a forbidden is attempting to shape yourself in her image, or however you perceive her to be. (nobody really knows what she looks like and most people go their entire lives without ever seeing her. they only just see the reapers.)

it was only a matter of time before miranda eventually met her fate. eventually after the events of what happened with ethan (local dad who just moved his family to the colony) and later rose, the all that remained of the colony was purged and all traces of reaper technology was returned to the emperor. (at least she got some useful information out of those several decades miranda was active.)

i personally like to believe that alcina dimitrescu and her daughters survived the whole encounter with ethan and were accepted into the court of the emperor where they're currently living their best lives. the darkness of the ziggurat is perfect for them. the xenomorphs like them (that's most important). alcina gets to be adored by the emperor and nyx. the great family also loves them; shub-gorgoroth, yhoundeh, lilith, and cassilda are especially fond of them. after a few years of living in the ziggurat, their conditions stabilize, but become strange due to their contact with the great family and pure, unobstructed reaper technology. they enjoy a lot of freedom within the emperor's court; alcina has gained the title of countess and all the power and respect that comes with it. having the affections of the great lord of extinction and the night incarnate are an extra bonus to a very ideal situation.

(in many ways, it's bittersweet considering she tried so hard to love miranda, only to lose it when miranda became displeased with the mold's development in her. to be loved by actual greater and elder entities is different, her heart aches from fullness from the amount of love she's received.)

the very last bottle of sanguis virginis was gifted to the emperor and remains unopened, aging in a special room along with all the bottles of ambrosia and nectar that have been gifted to her. production of the wine has ceased. for now.

also huge congrats to seras for acquiring three new besties overnight, we love that for her.

FROM VILLAIN TO SINGLE MOTHER OR THE FAMILY WE MAKE

exclusive verse with @cruelprincae

The lost princess was born under a blood moon and a sky devoid of stars. A bad omen, they all said. A harbinger of death and carnage. Perhaps her disappearance will bring prosperity to the kingdom after all.

Princess Velara

From day one, she hadn’t been destined for grandeur. As a first born halfling child marked by the bleeding moon, there was no way she would ever ascend to the Seelie Throne of her mother’s kingdom and so she was raised at the palace (by servants) up until the tender age of 4. The Queen had only kept her around as backup heir in case she couldn’t conceive another one. Though as soon as the Queen found out she was pregnant with the legitimate heir, she ordered for her first child to be killed in a clandestine sacrifice to the Great Mother to bring prosperity to the kingdom. Fortunately for the little one, a servant snatched her just in time and fled to another faerie realm, killed the mortal child of a couple living there and put the little one in its place. The couple was then glamoured to believe she was their child.

Kaethryn

She's not Kaethryn. The love she receives all her childhood is meant for someone else and she knows it. None of it is actually real. If those people knew what she really was, and what happened to their real miracle child, she would be despised. The rare moments she actually felt connected to her semblance of family was when the woman taught her how to sew and the man taught her poetry. There was just something special about being taught a skill so gently and creating beauty all together. Ten years later, her caretakers were killed by a fae who kidnapped her. Her kidnapper/new caretaker was abusive, making her a test subject for all sorts of potions and poisons since her halfling nature made her a more enduring subject than her regular mortal servants. She fell in love with a mortal servant named Enora who was a witch and her caretaker didn’t take it kindly once she found out. She fled with her lover. They got married and managed to have a few decades of happiness before her past came back to take her wife. She was not there when it happened. They’d just had a fight and she was out to get some air. Enora wanted a family whilst she was too scared of ruining this potential child without meaning to.

As she was dying next to her fallen wife’s body, in in a burning cottage in the woods, she heard a voice. It called to her, promised her revenge and power. The price seemed simple enough: give up on life. And so she did. She rose from the embers, her connection to nature completely severed, with a new face, a new name and a goal: get her hands on that Blood Crown and make Faerie pay for what they took from her.

Nyx 

She finds herself supplying Prince Dain in poison without knowing what he’s using it for. It’s not until she becomes a seamstress in High King Eldred’s Court, and notices the symptoms of her very craft, that she understands her client has been feeding it to his father. An information she shares with Prince Balekin. To which he replies that it is bold of her to admit to treason against the High King to his own son. She holds his gaze and tells him that she does not fear death and that whatever suffering he wishes to subject her to will never be enough to truly break her because she’s felt it tenfold already. It is love at first sight for Balekin (or whatever equivalent of love exists in his wicked mind). He has no idea his beloved is half-fae nor that she plans to get rid of him once she takes the Blood Crown for herself. But her priorities shift once she’s made aware of what Balekin does to his little brother, of the abuses he subjects the little one to. She’s suddenly reminded of growing up unloved and abused, reminded of Enora’s words in response to her asking why she would make a good mother: you know what it’s like to be unloved and uncared for, my love, and i know you’ll never let a child suffer as you did. And so, that night she made love to the monster in her bed and, once the poison upon her lips and skin took him into a deep slumber filled with his worst nightmares, she left the room and ran to the dungeon, freed the boy and fled with him to the mortal world.

She had no intention of becoming a mother, no intention of ever nurturing life, and yet there she is, raising a 10 year-old prince of faerie in Portland, away from the crown and the land she wished to claim and tear apart for taking the one person who ever truly loved her.
