Sullen Astor
in Bloodbag AU when he wakes up and his snack isn’t there.
(whom I always refer to as “The Commander” for this AU for some reason. IDK I feel like…maybe that’s what Elodie would have been told to call him when she was told whom she was assigned to? And of course she immediately goofs by asking his name when they had told her to refer to him only as Commander.)

she feels her heart beg
and when she wraps her arms around him
she can feel the beg of his heartbeat finishing her ownbecause the world isn’t kind
and the constellations make their empires from heartbreakso as the soul knits its frayed edges back together with every touch
and as the bodies collide beneath the moonlightthe world finally falls silent,
letting the haze of chaos and ruin quietbecause when her eyes first met his
her soul rang out with a rightness and her heart only ever said, “yes”
always “yes” until the last star of the universe stops providing lightand even after by Abby S -
Contemplative little Princess Elodie. But the sadness in the last gifs makes me think of a lot of scenes:
1. In GoT – In can picture her talking to a (painfully honest) Lady about how King Astor has “kind eyes.” “I think I could fall in love with just those eyes.” But the lady, I think pitying Elodie – reminds her that “The vampire king will appear however is most convenient to him, Princess. You should not let yourself be fooled so easily.”
2. Offering AU Elodie being bathed because The Dark One wants to see her? And Elodie remarking that he’s been very patient with her, kind. That he’s nothing at all like what she imagined? And some other person snipping at her that she’s taking advantage of that and should recognize that without pleasing him she will quickly become useless to him.
3. Dark Forest AU or Lord Death AU (the one where he saves her in the forest, not the one where he kidnaps her.) – Marigold helping her get ready for some big ball. Elodie wonders out loud why there are so many princes from foreign lands coming. “It is the first ball we have held since you became of age, little Elodie. I do believe they come to court you~” And it makes Elodie feel like…this cold wash of dread? It may or may not be when she realizes she has feelings for Astor / Lord Death.
