Elotor Is Life

Tag: blurb

  • “There should be shame in it…his touch, his glance…

    I wait and wait and wait…

    But it doesn’t come.”

    ./BLURB TEASER

  • Elodie glances at the mirror. In it, the reflection of the prison is shrinking and with it her hope that things will ever return to the way they were. He’s alive – and that should be enough. Selfishness has never cut her quite so deeply.

  • Now I have this lovely daydream for Adoption AU? It’s like, a bad night during the war? Still growing used to his new bedroom and up late at night Astor can hear bombs going off several miles away. Even though the neighborhood where Marigold and he live is more than safe, he can’t help but remember the bombings of nests, of the hospital. Slowly he creeps towards Marigold’s bedroom – not really sure what he’s seeking. Peering through the door he sees her, sleeping like THIS. Like she looks so perfect, so clean and safe and angelic. Without even really realizing it his little feet carry him toward her, toward the woman who’s always resulted in safety and security. His small, clawed hand reaching for the one just toward the edge of the bed? And just as he touches it, she wakes up. Not startled, not screaming…just kind of slowly shifting to face him. “Hello, Astor…” She whispers, knowing that something must be scaring him. And next thing you know she’s scooting to the side, “I’m having a terrible time sleeping, would you mind joining me? They say it’s easier if you’re with someone you trust. I trust you, will you trust me?”

  • Kinda goes with the present you got for this morning?

  • “How long do you think we’ll be friends?” Elodie asked,  though her question was interrupted by the slow progression of Astor’s face towards hers. His breath, cool as the hand that came to rest on her shoulder tickled her upper lip. “Forever.” Astor replied, ever-present smirk in place, before pulling the ‘silly girl’ into a hug. 

  • Captured, afraid. Elodie had feared the worst when the vampire king stopped visiting her meager room. Weeks passed but her nightmares did not. When her door flew open that evening she’d nearly jumped out of her bed in relief. But it was only a servant, come to change her sheets.

  • “My power is yours”, I repeated. His arms tightened around me. “And yours is mine,” I whispered against his lips.

    Elodie stared out at the faces of the lords as the crown was placed upon her head. These men and women, so many of whom had thought her husband’s people were monsters – some that still did. If they were, they were her monsters now. And him? He was her monster too. 

    I feel like Astor would say that to assure Elodie of her place? At some point? That his power is hers. And then IDK when she becomes human kingdom Queen she’d say it right back to him so happily.

  • Recently arrived, Queen Elodie goes to her suites but is intercepted by Lord Gideon. Before she enters her rooms, he warns her that the King’s mistress was seen heading in the same direction and asks if she’s prepared. Elodie assures him that she is but when all the other ladies bow at Lady V’s entrance a nervous queen Elodie can’t help but do the same. Slowly, Lady Vittoria approaches the small blonde and sighs, “You must be our new queen." 

    "Yes.” Elodie answers softly. “I am.”

  • teenageisawesome:

    I thought you were special. But… You weren’t

    Astor had promised that he would change if she stayed and Elodie had wanted so badly to believe him. Wanting was not enough.

  • I had an instant daydream when I saw this, imagining Astor brooding about how grim his job opportunities would be even if he graduated from Aevum? (Probably because Berk was being a huge jerk at the time.) Elodie said something hopeful and Astor kind of, not malicious but a bit huffy, asked if she really thought people would give him a chance when they were too busy being terrified of him? And she replied, “I think that you’re not the type of person to let people decide what you’re going to do with your life. A.K. Dulani controls his own destiny.” And it just made he smirky smile and it was cute. The end.
