My Sweet Heart

Summary: Nova had always lacked the bravery and opportunity to bridge the ever widening gap between the mortal and immortal races. Luckily for her, she wasn’t necessarily the one that ended up bearing the responsibility for making that choice.

*Author’s Note*: A super vague fic that’s more just a reflection on Nova’s feeling as an immortal and how that factors into her feelings towards Desair because I love writing that kind of introspective stuff for some reason.

She’d never expected to find such an agreeable mortal to befriend. She’d never intended to befriend a mortal at all, as much as she may have always desired to do so. Nova knew the risks, the nature of the schism that separated them, the lens through which mortals and immortals tended to view one another. Immortals could seem so short sighted and single minded, ambitious and frivolous to a fault, and that was just how they chose to process the world. That was the way they’d always done things, and being creatures of habit, frozen in time and typically uninterested in dwelling on petty mortal trivialities, it was surely what they would continue to do for many millennia to come.

Summary: Desair reflects on the influence Nova has had on him since she’s come into his life, and it’s a more significant and confusing one than he originally anticipated. More than that, he realizes that there’s really nothing that could happen to make him regret knowing her, or the circumstances they find themselves sharing in the present. The happiness of the here and now is what he wants to focus on…and hopefully he’ll be able to do just that.

*Author’s Note*: Ran out of steam a little bit for this week but I’m going to valiantly attempt to press on! This is a simple introspective piece that came out of nowhere, taking place in the faerie verse rather than the one I first developed for this ship. It wasn’t something I was planning on writing but after I did I decided to keep it because I liked it so much.

To be in love with an immortal…he was confident most people wouldn’t consider that a very auspicious situation to find themselves in. It wasn’t exactly hard to see why, where such people with better instincts of self preservation than him were coming from. Part of him didn’t want to bother looking past the present. Delving into the complicated tangle of the unknown future seemed more like a chore, or just a pain. If he was happy in the here and now, what was the point of worrying about the difficulties he was sure to face down the road? Even if things got unbearable, he was confident there was nothing that could make him wish he’d never met her.

Summary: Nova encounters an unexpected guest in the midst of preparing for an approaching formal event, and the exchange that ensues leaves both parties wondering how things will play out when they face one another again in an arena of formality.

*Author’s Note*: When I re-read this to edit it I lost my mind, the scene and the emotions and the atmosphere is just…HOO BOY. Another fic about me and this man no one knows about but that’s alright, I’ll singlehandedly change that through sheer willpower…somehow. It makes me a little happier to know based on the canon AU stuff by the creator that he is this kind of awkward, flustered, trying to remember to be proper mess that ultimately fails in the face of his feelings higlejfilsejfes but he’s trying his best, and so is Nova. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

“Are you sure this looks alright? I really don’t want to embarrass myself, or anybody else…”
