sleeping through the night had been something that natasha had never experienced; if one didn’t count being unconscious. often than not, memories of the things she had done and been through kept her awake, chasing away any potential dreams. which brought them to this moment, with her sitting on the kitchen counter in the dark, silently eating the ice cream she had hidden from everyone else. green hues watched steve enter and go about his business. she wondered how long it would take for her to be noticed. when he finally noticed her, a smirk graced her lips, “ hello to you too, rogers, “ ignoring his question.

The super soldier took a seat at one of the bar stools as he made his bowl of cereal, keeping everything out for when he wants more. “It’s not fair pulling that stealthy thing in the early hours of the morning, Romanoff.” Steve jested with a smirk of his own, looking to the ice cream she was devouring. “You okay?”

feyre knew the moment that rhys’ eyes fell upon nyx, one of the first thoughts that were running through his head was how he was going to teach nyx how to throw snowballs for the annual fight. despite the fact that she knew the boys would be careful around nyx when it came to snowballs until he was older but the motherly part of her couldn’t help but worry. luckily, she had a few more years before she had to worry about that. 

after rhys had left their room to get nyx, feyre took her time getting ready before bundling herself into her winter coat before joining her two guys outside. “ you didn’t waste a minute, did you ? “ her amusement voice rang through the open air as she moved closer to the two of them before she squatted herself to their level, “ is daddy forcing you to touch the cold ice, baby ? “  

“We’re taking baby steps.” Rhys defends himself as Nyx tries to figure out what it is he’s playing with, looking up to his mother as if she could solve the mystery. “I think Nyx and I could team up against Az and Cas one of these years and beat them.” He playfully smirked before looking down at Nyx as he made noises in reply to Feyre, allowing him the space to crawl over to her. “Maybe you could join us one of these years.”

L O C A T I O N: house of wind.  T A G G I N G: @cftragedies

as much as nesta loved cassian, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief at the peace and quiet she would receive now that her mate was dealing with something at one of the camps. don’t get her wrong, the eldest archeron loved spending time with him and being around him but she also loved her own personal space too. with the boys away, it meant that she could spend time alone with one of the books the house had supplied the fae with this morning. settling into one of the chairs and with a large piece of cake next to her, she had only read a sentence before she noticed another presence in the room. raising an eyebrow, storm grey hues looked over the top of her book to assess who it was. “ gwyn ? “ eyebrow lowering as a rare, soft smile fell upon her lips. “ care to join me ? “ holding a hand out towards the red head to take. she always had time for the other.

More and more, Gwyn has been warming up to leaving the library - she hoped one day she would be able to brave it enough to go outside but for now, her comfort levels were the library and the house of wind. “Sure.” The woman smiled, taking her friends hand before taking a seat next to her. “No Cassian today, hm?”

( @starfclls ) Steve & Natasha

It was early in the morning in the Avengers Compound and Steve was sure everyone was asleep, it was three in the morning - after a long days work, everyone was tired. But for some reason, Steve couldn’t fall asleep, no matter how much he laid there, eyes closed trying to sleep. Kicking his sheets off, Steve didn’t bother throwing a shirt on as he made his way out of his room and to the kitchen. First, he’d get some early night cereal, then he’d go to the gym and take a few good hits at a punching bag. Grabbing a bowl and the cereal, he started humming a song that he heard a couple days ago as he reached into the fridge to grab the milk. Closing the fridge eliminated most of the light, and as he turned to put everything on the counter he nearly jumped seeing Natasha standing right there. “Can’t sleep either?”

( @starfclls ) Rhys & Feyre

It was his second favorite time of the year, the way the snow coated everything in it’s pure white fluffiness - muffling the sounds around them. And of course, the time he got to spend with his brothers during their snowball game. Only this year was different, this year he had Nyx and while his son was too young to join in on the game, he wasn’t too young to enjoy snow for the first time. As soon as the High Lord heard his son awaken with his morning cry, Rhys placed a tender kiss to Feyre’s forehead before slipping out of the sheets and making his way to their sons room.

It didn’t take long to get the little one bundled up in snow appropriate clothing and as soon as he was ready, he was propped in one of Rhys’ arms as he carried him outside. Kneeling down, Rhys gently placed Nyx into the snow, laughing when Nyx made a face at the coldness. “You’re far too young to play in the snowball game for a few years, but let’s start training you on how to make a snowball, hmm?” Keeping Nyx between him, he first made a snowball himself, then with Nyx’s covered little hands, made another.

lacing their fingers together , the brunette kept quiet as she led them out of the room and towards the male’s room. a warmth started in her stomach at his little nickname for her. the last time they had been together , it had been the night that they had conceived hope. it felt like a lifetime ago but hayley still remembered the way her body had reacted to his touches, to him. opening up his door, she let go of his hand and made her way further into the room before turning to face him. “ i want to be with you. i think i always have but when i thought you weren’t interested, i looked elsewhere, “ 

Following her through the house and into his room, Klaus allowed for her to drop his hand as he locks his door. The last thing he needed was his siblings bursting through the door. “To my brother?” It didn’t seem like the most appropriate time to bring that up, but it fit into the conversation. “Elijah and I have a history of falling for the same women. Though I guess this time it was my fault.” He pushed her away, when it was brought to his attention that she was pregnant he told the witches to kill her. He treated her as if she was just an incubator for his child. The male stepped towards her, “I think I’ve always had feelings for you, but I didn’t let myself admit it - or even see it. I saw the way Elijah fell for you, and you looked happy. I couldn’t rob the two of you from that. Over the time it got harder to see you guys together, even you and Jackson.” The male took a breath, “You’ve had every chance, every reason under the sun and moon to leave. To take Hope with you and never look back, but you didn’t. You stayed. You saved my family, and you saved me and I...-- that makes me love you even more.” Klaus was now bare, vulnerable and open to Hayley. A feeling he hated. “And I don’t think I can stand by and watch as another man gets to make you happy the way I want to make you happy.”

feyre couldn’t help but roll her eyes fondly at his words but she allowed him to lead her away from the bed and towards the bath. “ i hope you know that we are not having another child for a while, “ she wasn’t sure she could handle another child at this moment. definitely when nyx was talking. “ that sounds amazing, “

"Ah there you go, ruining my plans for ten more little ones.” Rhys laughs, “I’m perfectly happy with you and Nyx at the moment.” They were new parents, they needed time to adjust to the new responsibility. Placing a kiss to her bare shoulder, he walked her back to the large pool like tub. “Go on and get in, I’ll get the oils.”

“ you’re right. you didn’t read everything. there are things that i have done that keep me awake some nights, “ she needed to be honest to him. if steve was unwavering in his decision to be with her, then she had to be honest. she let out a slight fake laugh as she tried to joke, “ you’re not going to disappear on me too, right ? “

“I know.” He didn’t know what, but he knew that she had some dark hidden secrets of her past. Until she was ready, he wouldn’t pry them out of her. “And one day, when or if you’re ready to tell me; I’ll be here judgment free.” Steve lifted his lips in a half smile at her attempt of a joke, “I would never disappear on you.”

the moment he looked at her, she could have sworn the room had begun to feel electric with the tension in the air. there were two options here: hayley could bid him goodnight and she could go to her room or she could give in and let herself feel what she felt for klaus. the answer came to her straight away. standing up from her chair, hayley kept her eyes focused on the male before holding out a hand to him, “ you coming ? “ 

The silence was deafening, though Klaus should be used to it by now with recent events. It was all he ever head, the deafening silence. He watched as she got up to leave and right then and there he knew he had screwed up, he was about to bid her a goodnight before she offered her hand out to him. He wasn’t thrown off a lot, but she caught him by surprise this time. Instead of overthinking it, Klaus stood up taking her hand. “Lead the way, little wolf.”

sometimes she hated the fact that steve knew her better than anyone else in her life ; that was including clint. but clint knew the darkness that lied within natasha. he knew of the things she had done. “ you’re america’s golden boy. i am an ex-kgb agent. the two don’t exactly go together. “ the russian was worried that he would change the way he looked at her if he truly knew her past , “ i don’t know how to do relationships. look at what happened with bruce, “ 

“I feel like the notable word there is ex.” Steve mentions with a hint of a smile, “I’ve read your file, Natasha.” He read them all when he agreed to be on the Avengers team. “It may not have had everything in it, but I know who I fell for and I don’t regret it.” His hand still in hers, he gave it a gentle squeeze. “I’m not Bruce, and the downfall of you and Bruce wasn’t your fault. He left.”

“ you’re supposed to comfort me, “ her words tired but teasing. a relieved sigh left her lips as she felt his hands massaging her shoulders, releasing some of the tension trapped. feyre knew motherhood was never going to be easy and eventually, nyx would calm down. “ that would be amazing. thank you. i must look like a mess, “ 

“If you give me a moment, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” He teases before pulling her back to the bathroom. “You look like a tired, yet strikingly beautiful mother.” He soothes, beginning to undress her. “You just need to soak in a nice hot bath, with some nice oils.”

“ i wouldn’t be so confident. that is another secret i will be taking to my grave, “ nat was filled with secrets. there were some secrets that she would never be revealing, even to the people closest to her. “ someone like you doesn’t end up with someone like me. we are completely different people. “ plus the fact that she did not believe that she was worthy of any kind of love especially from steve. 

“I see what you’re doing.” He could see right through her, she didn’t believe herself worthy of such an affectionate feeling. She’s spent the majority of the time they’ve known each other trying to make up for her past. “Someone like me?” He raises a brow tilting his head, “Natasha, I know how I feel about you. I know how I’ve felt about you for years. I only want you. You’re the exact person I want to end up with.”

“ the big bad wolf, “ she hummed softly as she drank the last of her drink, placing the glass on a side table. hearing his words, hayley’s head moved to look at the male fully. she had no idea he had had those thoughts about her; about them. “ you are damn right. my karaoke skills are stellar, “ shooting a grin in his direction. biting her bottom lip softly, she considered her next words carefully, “ and what about right now ? “

“The baddest.” He smirks. Feeling her eyes on him, Klaus took a deep breath and decided to look at her. He was not the vulnerable type - no, that’s not true. When it came to this he was very vulnerable. The last time he opened up to someone, he woke up to them dead. She woke up, but again died and it hurt twice as more. “Even now.” Words were soft in reply, “Especially now.”

feyre sighed as she collapsed backwards on their shared bed. it seemed that nyx had decided to stop taking his naps which meant that every night , they were dealing with an over-tired baby. after spending an hour trying to settle him down, he had finally gone to sleep and she had returned to rhys and her’s room , exhausted. “ how long do you think this phase will go for ? “ don’t get her wrong, she loved her son more than anything in this world but she hoped that he would begin to settle down soon. 

@cftragedies

“I don’t think you’d like my answer.” Rhys replies with a laugh, walking back into the main room after taking a bath. Rhys didn’t know a lot about babies, but he knew that they would eventually start talking and tell them what they want instead of crying. They had a few years. Stopping in front of his mate, the male moved his hands to her shoulders gently rubbing out her tense muscles. “Do you need a bath, Feyre darling?”

“ that will be my little secret. i can’t reveal everything about me to you, “ out of everyone in her life , steve was the one who knew her the best. green hues looked at the male in slight confusion as she tried to make sense of what he was saying with both her lips and words. captain america couldn’t be interested in her. she was damaged goods ; she had done things that would make him see her in a different light. “ what are you talking about ? you only want me on the e-mail chain ? but then there would be no options for you , “ 

He lifted a brow as his lips turned up into a small smirk, “I’ll find out eventually.” Whether that be in a week, or a year. He had all the time in the world. “Either you’re really bad at picking up hints, or I’m not laying it out thick enough.” He replies with a laugh. “I don’t want anyone else, Natasha.” Steve said, “You’re always trying to hook me up with someone but they’re not you. I want you.”

“ that sounds ominous, “ she shook her head slightly in amusement at his words, “ i am glad you were the first too, “ her words soft. hayley didn’t regret sleeping with klaus and she most certainly did not regret their little miracle, hope. she had never known true love until her eyes had fallen upon their baby. the hybrid was surprised by his question and took a few moments to determine her answer. dark hues looked over his features with fondness in her eyes, “ i have. a few times especially when we went on that road trip together. have you ? “

“Don’t you know? I’m an ominous person.” Ominous, dangerous, unpredictable. “Oh all the time.” Curse the alcohol running through his veins, “There was that one time you came back after the whole curse thing with Dahlia and I, you and Jackson had moved into the apartment across the way and I saw you happy with him. The infamous road trip with your stellar karaoke skills. And just about every time I’ve seen you with Elijah.”

“ are you saying that as a poetic version of ‘ you were hot and we were going to have sex one way or another ‘ ? “ hayley couldn’t help but tease the older male. she hadn’t considered that before. hayley had never believed in fate ; if she did , she would have to acknowledge that fate had it out for her. there had been very few good things in her life ; hope was her good thing. raising an eyebrow, the hybrid nodded her head silently in consent of his question. a large part of her was interested in what he would ask. 

“It was only a matter of time before one of the Mikaelson brothers came across you. Though I do have to say, I’m glad I was the first one.” Because Hope was the result, and he loved her more than anything. And also because he was always used to being second to Elijah when it came to women they were attracted to -- enter in Tatia. “Did you ever think about us as more than a partnership with parenting?” He looked to her for a mere second before his emerald eyes went back to the dancing flames.
