[hellodaydream1111111111111111]

Don’t get me wrong I LOVVVVVEEEEE xanthous but I feel really bad for Elrik because I feel like his pain doesn’t get acknowledged as much. “Xanthous has daddy issues!” So does Elrik, I’m not denying that Xanthous probably had it worse but Elrik’s childhood has had lasting effects on him and we see it. Elrik’s dad has always put him in competition with his other siblings and we see that when he’s with Xanthous on the balcony, Elrik makes the first move he’s straight forward and rushes their relationship. Probably because weather he realizes it or not it’s ingrained in his mind that if he doesn’t get to Xanthous first someone else will and if he doesn’t get him first he loses, if he loses he is worthless to people. I don’t think he gets the idea of unconditional love. So all the time I hear “Xanthous is sad and Anxious Elrik is strong and he fixes it for Xanthous.” ELRIK WAS TAUGHT THAT HE DOESNT MATTER UNLESS HE MEETS THE RIGHT CONDITIONS OBVIOUSLY HES NOT GONNA BE UPSET ABOUT THINGS THAT WOUKD BE BEING A SORE LOSER AND THAT MEANS NOT ONLY ARE YOU WORTHLESS YOUR WORTHLESS AND PLAYING VICTIM!!!! Obviously that’s not what I think but that’s what’s been taught. Thank you for coming to my ted talk now go make some sad theories about Elrik because they are both sad gay boys.😌

Part 1

part 2 will be posted on valentines day

Valentine’s Day, a Xanrik fic by @hellodaydream1111111111111111 and me

Think about your top ten least favorite things, what are they? Lying awake thinking was definitely in Elrik’s top ten, very low on the list but still there. What was he thinking about you might ask? Probably about the Roman Empire oh, and this: It never really got dark in the demon kingdom since you obviously couldn’t see the sun from the middle of the earth. The demon’s relied on fire to light the city. Of course that was no problem for them they were used to it but if you were to rely on the sun for half your life and then get thrown into a place where it was a foreign concept it might be difficult to get things done on time however if you’ve pissed off someone so bad that they run off into another world to complain about you, which of course is exactly what Elrik had done, you don’t sleep. “So~ what’s going on this week?” Xanthous had asked And stupidly Elrik hadn’t even thought about it before listing a collection of meetings and royal duties they had to complete this week. Xanthous' face dropped ever so slightly. “Yeah… I have to call Em to make sure everything is okay in the fairy world.” “Okay bye, love ya!”. Idiot, idiot, idiot seriously, how do you forget Valentine’s Day when you're literally married. As Xanthous left, Elirk stood there in the middle of the room thinking. He used to do many sweet things but over time he ran out of ideas. He once gave him a bouquet of flowers, and other pretty stuff that remind him of xanthous. Though over the years he kinda ran out of ideas. It bugged him, the love of his life… and he came to a blank when it came to giving him something for valentines day. As Xanthous walked out of the room and teleported to the front doors of the fairy kingdom he took a deep breath. He knew what they were doing was a stressful job, and sure, he’d forgotten a number of important things but Valentine’s Day? When Elirk forgot Valentine’s Day made him feel irrelevant, like the feelings he shared for the elf weren’t valued. He thought as he walked up the stairs to Emeraldas room. Well now it looked more like an office full of papers but the room still kept her charm. She sat at her desk looking at papers and letters from other kingdoms. Xanthous cleared his throat and asked “Em?” Emerelda and looked up and stared for a short moment “Oh hey Xanny ” she said standing up to hug him. Xanthous warmly embraced the sparkling lady. “I don’t believe this was a planned visit?” she asked gently. “Yeah…” he mumbled back, she gave him a sigh. “Alright sit down.” She pulled out a shimmering green chair. Xanthous stood for a moment before slumping down. Emerelda sat next to him, the gems on her necklace making a soothing jingle.

Xanthous picked at his nail and then began to ramble, “I don’t think Elrik loves me anymore you see, he forgot Valentine’s Day and at first I thought he was just surprising me but I remember I told him I don’t like surprises so that would mean he doesn’t listen a—” “Xanthous…” Emerelda tilted her head slightly to the left and reached under her desk to grab his hand. “Just relax.. It's okay. Look I doubt Elirk would forget, but you have to remember that Valentine's day isn’t just about the gift. It's about love.” Xanthous looked at her, “I'm sorry I just might be overthinking it.”. He sighed with relief. Emerelda tightened her grip on his hand “It's okay Xanthous that's why I'm here.” She patted his back as she hugged him, his flames died down and he took a well needed deep breath.

Me when my little sister said she didn't ship Xanrik because 'it's rushed' and 'didn't have any relationship development':

[ask-the-fairy-council]

elrik is xanthous' husband! has he not mentioned him to you two yet?

HE’S WHAT—

HE NEVER TOLD US WTF????

[unaside]

sorry if this is shit but here’s the little fic thing

also ples don’t mind if it’s short i’m a lil busy today😭

Elrik was awoken by soft sniffling coming from beside him. Shuffling quickly around in the dark, he found a candle next to the bed and lit it. In the light, he looked across from him and saw Xanthous crying in his sleep.

“Xanthous?” Elrik shook him gently.

“Elrik?” Xanthous wiped his tears once he realized Elrik was watching him.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Elrik asked, concern etching his features.

“I-I’m fine..” Xanthous reached up to wipe his eyes but Elrik took his hands.

“Did you have another dream?” He whispered.

“Yeah.” Xanthous said quietly.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Elrik asked.

Xanthous nodded his head. “It was the night he died. He-“ His voice hitched.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me.” Elrik pulled him into a hug.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

XANRIK FANART IS FINALLY DONE

(Thanks to those who I drew together with; it was tons of fun!!)

[je-suis-lucie]

*cutely asks you about all the books you’ve read*

The Kingdom of Fantasy. I was OBSESSED with the twin fairies, Blossom and Wither. and their brother, Prince Lucky. basically, all the attractive characters. when I read book 13 (pretty sure that's it), I started off by shipping Flamelet and Winglet, but then of course, Winglet x Lorian grew on me, though I still half-shipped Flamelet and Winglet. and also Flamelet was revealed to be Winglet's sympathetic villain cousin (!) so of course Winglorian became endgame. My favorite book in the series was The Phoenix of Destiny because I was a child and didn't know of the twin thing. Long story short, my mind was blown.

The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. My grade 3 teacher read this book to us and BAM! Loved it since the first chapter. Everyone in my class loved it too, so they borrowed the only copy of the second book from the library. Since I actually had money back then, I bought it. It's still there on my shelf.

The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The only criticism I have for these books is Finnick. WHY'D HE HAVE TO DIE, SUZANNE. WHY. WHY. WHY. Catching Fire is definitely my favorite movie and book.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by rick riordan. I am a daughter of Athena. I like the books. I am also very tired so I'll leave it like that. Also, I can't wait for the Disney+ show.

The 39 Clues. Any stans, leave. I literally co-founded the I HATE AMY CAHILL club. Dan, however, is a different story. He's cool. I don't have very much to say about it, other than that I would be a Lucian or Ekaterina. Probably Lucian though. They need more people ever since Natalie and Isabel died.

A Tale of Magic trilogy (so far) by Chris Colfer. Yes, it is separated from TLOS because there was a four-year gap between the two series. This series made me try to draw again. I might draw Xanrik fanart soon. Very soon. I will start as soon as I get home. And I may color it. Also, I need a book with Emerelda, Tangerina, and Skylene POVs.

The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare.

The Grishaverse by Leigh Bardugo. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE BOOKS AND I DO NOT NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE. READ THEM NOW. RIGHT NOW. (or at least try).

The Throne of Glass series (minus Tower of Dawn and Kingdom of Ash) by Sarah J. Maas. I preferred it when she was Celaena. Now she's basically a whole new person, Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius. Fire powers are cool though.

ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas, plus a bit of ACOMAF, ACOWAR, and ACOSF. Can I just say...wow. What is this series? Why are there so many faeries? Why is Tamlin evil now?

Lockwood and Co. series by Jonathan Stroud. The skull was great, Kipps' redemption arc was great, Holly was great, and everyone was great. I also liked Annabel's locket. It inspired me to wear my own locket every day.

[leechlover049]

Xanrik brainrot amiright thank god for fanfiction

[confessions-of-an-old-cassette]

[sad-little-flame-man]

….gardener au for breelex or xanrik

[hellodaydream1111111111111111]

Okay jfc after like a billion mental breakdowns and read my my past few posts (i feel bad for even posting those because WTF) I’m gonna give some ATOM

Xanthous learned how to braid textured hair and he does Emarelda’s braids while they eat takeout and gossip about people.

Lucy once squeezed Tangerina’s ponytail over a cup of tea because they ran out of honey.

Xanthous wears orange lipstick when he and Elrik go on dates for the sole purpose of leaving marks on Elrik.

Emerelda was taller than Xanthous when they first met and so she used to ruffle up his hair when she walked by him, but now he’s much taller than her and the tables have turned (yes she’s salty about it)

Elirk and Xanthous received one of those card games for couples as a gift but whenever they try to play it Xanthous gets to flustered.

The fairy council are so done with all the bullshit that they have a flask by the door so whenever they need to do what they call a “WTF YOU PEOPLE CANNOT BE REAL” job they can numb the pain of peoples stupidity just a tad.

Lucy and Elrik smoke weed occasionally (under the oath of not telling Xanthous or Brystal because they will worry about them.

Emerelda always grabs xanthous hand when they walk past a lake.

Xanthous collects monster high dolls.

Xanthous hates blue raspberry flavored things so he gives them to Elrik.

Xanthous and Emerelda have matching tattoos on their wrists (its cats that form a heart with there tail)

Emerelda made the stones in Xanthous and Elrik’s wedding bands.

Lucy bites.

Emerelda knows all the details about Xanthous and Elrik relationship I MEAN ALL OFF THEM, and she teases Elrik sometimes.

Lucy will randomly come up to people a say “i know what you did”

TW SH:

xanthous be makes cutting board jokes about himself and Elrik tells him to stop every time because it makes him worried.

Xanthous has SH scars and he’s really insecure about them.

Skylene is Autistic and Tangerina has a t-shirt that says “I ❤️ my autistic girlfriend and you can’t do anything about it”

Emerelda likes seeing Xanthous look at or talk about Elrik because she can tell it makes him super happy.

Brystal writes fanfiction.

The fairy council read fanfics about themselves (being public figures they get quite a few)

Elirk really likes apple tarts, xanthous makes them for him.

Lucy likes to lick Brystal whenever she’s bored. Like she will just go up to Brystal, grab her hand and lick her then run away.

Emerelda calls Xanthous hunny in like a big sister kinda way.

And there’s my stash of ATOM headcanons.

[fourayedasshole]

When Xanthous finished crying his heart out, he stepped over the ripped portrait and then looked in the mirror. His eyes were redder than usual, and his suit was rumpled. But there was nothing he could do.

He walked out the door.

“Sir,” said a demon. “Why was Lord Elrik leaving?”

“He isn’t the Lord anymore.” said Xanthous, staring up at the ceiling as he collected his thoughts. “We broke up.”

The demon looked very surprised, but Xanthous ignored it, walking down the steps.

He made his way back up the portal and walked into the castle, sobbing silently, yet hysterically, again. He wanted to go to his old room and cry.

“Hey Xanthous!” said Emeralda. Then she froze, seeing the tears. “Oh my god, Xanthous, what the hell, what happened?” She leaned over and hugged him, unaffected by the fire.

“Elrik, he, umm, umm,” Xanthous sniffled, trying to say all the words, not quite able to say it. It was still too painful. “He, umm, cheated.”

Emeralda gasped and frowned. “He… did?” she sounded very surprised. It was surprising, to be fair. He could barely believe it either and started to cry louder, sobbing openly now, shaking violently.

Emeralda walked him backwards, still hugging him, into Brystal’s room where everyone was meeting. He could feel everyone’s eyes on him, but his eyes were screwed shut so he couldn’t see them, despite him feeling the weight of their concerned gazes.

“What happened?” asked Brystal, getting up and running over, pressing her hand against his back and rubbing to comfort him.

“Says Elrik cheated on him.” said Emeralda.

Lucy coughed, probably drinking something. Not alcohol though. She never drank alcohol when he was around out of respect.

“He what?” said Lucy, horrified. “Xanthous, why would you think that?” she sounded as if the mere idea of Elrik cheating was the most unbelievable thing she had ever in her life. “He loves you more than anything in his entire life.”

“Apparently that’s not enough.” said Xanthous, mumbling, but still loud enough to be heard. “He was, umm, with someone in our bed.” he said, tilting his head down and pressing into Emeralda’s dress, the slight sharpness of the gemstones keeping him grounded.

Tangerina made a sympathetic noise and Skylene got up, moving over and tightly hugging him from the back.

“That’s horrible.” said Tangerina. “He should never have done that to you.” her bees were buzzing loudly and buzzing around her hair, sensing her agitation.

“It’s okay.” said Xanthous. “I kicked him out, I just want to forget it happened.” Then, quieter, “He deserved better than me anyway.”

Emeralda pushed him away from her, holding his shoulder, a hard look on her face. “Xanthous Hayfield, what the Hell did you just say.”

“That, umm, he deserves better, and it was fine?” Xanthous was incredibly confused.

“Xanthous Emery Hayfield—” Emeralda started.

“Not my middle name.” Xanthous did not have a middle name.

“Shush. Xanthous Emerson Hayfield, you are a catch and if I liked men, I would totally be in love with you. You are nice, caring, sincere, and one of the most excitable puppy-like people I know, which, granted, isn’t a lot.” Xnthous giggled a bit about that. “You are brave, and very, very powerful.” Emeralda took a deep breath. “So if Elrik had the audacity to cheat on you, he is 100% in the wrong and you deserve better. Not him. M’kay?”

Xanthous looked at her and nodded. “M’kay.”

“Good boy.” Emeralda patted his hair. “Come on. We’re gonna make hot chocolate and trash on the other royals.”

Xanthous giggled a little bit and then nodded.

Brystal waved her wand and summoned hot chocolate from the kitchen. “Here you go.” she said, passing Xanthous his. It was a super sugary hot chocolate with a pile of whipped cream on top and crushed peppermint.

“How are Penny and Barry?” he said after he’d curled up into Emeralda’s side, and then wiped the whipped cream off of his nose.

“Oh, they’re amazing. Barry is so whipped for Penny, it’s so cute.” Brystal said. “Their official portraits are done, so that is so amazing.”

“Oh, can I see?” Xanthous perked up. His love life may be in shambles, but he liked to have fun with other couples.

“Sure.” Brystal pulled up a memory of the portrait with magic.

Penny was sitting on her throne, holding the ceremonial staff. Barry was standing behind her, hand on her shoulder. Both looked serious, since they had to sit there for hours.

“It looks adorable.” said Xanthous, cooing.

“I know.” said Skylene. “It’s no where near as fun as yours, but they couldn’t do magic, so it makes sense.”

Xanthous froze when she said that, and Skylene seemed confused for a moment before realizing what she’d said.

“Oh my god, I’m sorry, I was just thinking about the plans he was making for your anniversary, and I don’t—”

Tangerina slapped her hand over Skylene’s mouth and looked at Xanthous. “Sorry.”

“What do you mean anniversary?” said Xanthous in confusion.

There was a beat of silence.

“Xanthous,” said Brystal after a moment. “you’ve been dating Elrik for almost one year.”

“Ah, yes, we have.” Xanthous nodded. “Why?”

“It’s almost your one-year anniversary.” Lucy said. “Did you… did you not know about that?”

“I mean, I’ve heard it said a few times, but is it an important thing?”

There was another awkward silence.

Lucy sighed. “I think I know the problem then.”

“What do you mean?” asked Xanthous, frowning. He knew what the problem was. Elrik has cheated on him.

“Xanthous, is it possible Elrik was just making plans for your anniversary and was hugging whoever he was talking to?” Lucy said, laying it out.

Another beat of silence.

“Fuck.” said Xanthous.

~~

Elrik was perched on one of the trees outside the school, chatting with some of the younger fairies about the other kingdoms and what it was like being a prince.

He knew what Xanthous thought, and he figured he would just send a letter to Xanthous tomorrow apologizing and explaining everything.

“Mr. Elrik!” said a small voice.

He looked up to see a young fairy dragging Xanthous behind him.

“Ah, hello Xanthous.”

“Hello.” said Xanthous. He sounded quiet and ashamed. “Can we talk in private?”

Elrik nodded and jumped down the tree. “Of course, let’s go.”

Xanthous led him away and to the entrance of Hell. No one was near it, but Xanthous didn’t go in, and neither did Elrik. He didn’t know why Xanthous was so quiet, figured he would start yelling immediatly. Though he did know Xanthous never wanted to become his father.

“Elrik.” said Xanthous after a moment. “I’m sorry for breaking up with you. The girls, and Lucy, may have yelled some sense into me.”

“What do you mean?” asked Elrik in confusion.

“I didn’t actually know how important a first-year anniversary is. I have been informed you may not have been cheating on me and were simply hugging someone.” he said stiffly. “I’m very sorry and I hope you can forgive me and take me back?” Xanthous sounded very hopeful about that and Elrik almost cooed.

“Obviously.” said Elrik, reaching up and kissing Xanthous softly. “I’d never cheat on you firefly. I love you more than anything. It’ll be like we never broke up.”

“And next time you’re worried about something, come to me instead of bottling it up.”

[ask-the-fairy-council]

Any of yall got a kiss for the new year?

….perhaps…..one of us…..

Tangerina literally everyone on the Council knows you and Skylene kissed
