Do you believe in fairies?

Genevieve Starr. 22. Faerie. Stay strong Hang on Hold tight Look strong Stay up One day I might break One day I might b r e a k free

[katxherondale]

Kat had just turned off the shower as she heard Gen opening the door. “Really faerie?” She asked sarcastically and grabbed the towel before she stepped out the shower and closed the door. She dried herself and then got into the pj’s which was the one she didn’t like at all but if she was honest, she could care less today. With a towel on her head she entered her room and looked at Gen. “What are you doing?”

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve crossed her arms and looked at Katerina when she entered the room. “I am helping you.” She replied firmly, pointing at the fruit and tea on the nightstand. “Sit and eat something. Do you want to talk about it?” She asked more gently this time.

[buchananfay]

“Hi” Klaire smiled back at the fae feeling silly for jumping “Oh I’m just writing. It’s uh.. fanfiction, it helps me calm down and takes my focus off other things. You okay?”

[genevievestarr]

“Yes, I’m fine.” Genevieve replied with a smile before averting the conversation back. “Fanfiction? What’s that?” She asked curiously.

Looking for heaven, found the devil in me || Genevieve & Theon

[valberg-theon]

Theon felt his heart beating rapidly in chest as familiar anger and annoyance returned to him. The suddenness and randomness of the Magister’s appearance hit like a ton of bricks, all the feelings he had felt all those years flooding back. “I’m not going anywhere with you. Now what have you done to Genevieve?” Theon demanded before looking around for the fae. 

“Genevieve? Genevieve?” He called out worried about where she had gone, and what the Magister had done. Turning back to the Magister he spat “You bastard!” His appearance was beginning to make Theon visibly stress, his hands curled in balls twitching with anger but otherwise he found himself unable to move. 

Trying to calm himself Theon took deep breaths which helped clear his head but didn’t do anything to calm his heart beating a mile a minute. “Why are you here? What do you want?” He asked the Magister who didn’t answer instead just smiling, which in turn confused Theon. The Magister he knew wasn’t silent, he was charming and talkative, he would be trying to persuade Theon to trust him and forgive him for what he had done. This time he would keep his promises to the mundane if Theon would agree to work with him again. In the short period that Theon realised this, the Magister had pulled out a sword and was advancing on the mundane raising the sword high into the air to attack as he did. 

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve was taken aback even more when Theon asked what she had done to herself. Was he speaking to someone else? As illogical as that seemed, Genevieve couldn’t help and look behind her, almost expecting someone else to stand there but of course there was no one. She turned around again when Theon worriedly called out for her, but instead she came face to face with Arianna. Her sister‘s eyes were fixed on her and glowing with anger and annoyance, her lips pursed in distaste. “You bastard!” She suddenly exclaimed, her voice biting itself towards Genevieve and making her stumble a step backwards and hit the wall of what seemed to be her room back in faerie now. “Arianna...” She uttered, shocked and clueless about what she had done to receive such hatred. “I- I don’t understand.” Arianna stepped closer, cornering her. “Why are you here? What do you want?” Her sister pointed her finger at her. Genevieve just looked around confused and bewildered. She had nothing to say in reply to this because she still had a heard time comprehending why this was happening at all. “You clearly don’t belong here.” she spoke, before adding, “You are the odd one out. The black sheep. You are always acting so weird and embarrassing our family. Do you know what people say about you? What they are talking behind our backs because of you? Why can’t you be normal, Genevieve? Why can’t you be fucking normal?”

Genevieve’s lips formed an ‘O’ as she started to realize that this conflict was about the same old thing as it always was. They used to have this dispute all the time and it would always end up in Arianna asking her why she couldn’t be normal. As if Genevieve was supposed to know what normal is. As if there was a set normal. But they had eventually grown out of it. Or at least they had grown apart enough, that it didn’t even seem worth it to fight with each other anymore. Ignoring was easier. But Genevieve had enough. She had allowed this too many times and she wouldn’t take Arianna’s accusations and insults anymore. Genevieve stood tall and advanced towards Arianna, backing away from the wall. “Stop this. Stop this right now. I am not going to listen to any more of this!” She told her sister through clenched teeth.

Klaire sighed as she scribbled in her notebook, the recent events of the landscape plus parts of the Institute being burnt down Klaire was feeling worn down. Still writing helped even if it was just fanfiction. Hearing something move her head snapped at the noise, looking towards the source ever since the landscape she had been on edge twitching at anything whenever she was alone.

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve walked closer when she spotted Klaire in what you could describe as the common room of the Institute. She hadn’t meant to scare the girl and apologized when her head snapped up with a wide-eyed look. “Hey,” She said, smiling gently. “What are you doing?”

[carolinexday]

“Yeah. This is fucking ridiculous.”

[genevievestarr]

“Next time, I’m gonna think twice before I follow any Clave orders. The Nephilim are always so rushed to get into the middle of a battle and kill as many demons as they can, that they don’t even take time to think.”

[artemisxtrang]

The alpha ran her hands through her hair, gulping down the lump in her throat before looking at Genevieve. “I’ll be fine, Genevieve,” Artemis said through a shaky breath, “I don’t want to talk about it, I can’t. It was hard enough having Simon see it.”

[genevievestarr]

“Yeah. I- Okay. I understand... Shall I leave then?” Genevieve asked, still unsure about the whole thing.

[katxherondale]

“Your presence. That’s what happened.“ Katerina ignored every try of the faerie and felt the little cuts in her burn in her skin. “Fuck..” She muttered and went into the bathroom, slowly getting out of the torn clothes and finally made it to the shower, totally ignoring and forgetting about the perosn outside her room. She turned she shower on while she stripped down her clothes and looked into the mirror.  When the water was wamr enough she quickly jumped in, the water burnign slightly on her skin.

[genevievestarr]

She was clearly hurt, Genevieve could hear that. She also realized that trying to get her to open up about her feelings probably wasn’t the right approach. So when she heard the shower start to run in the other room, she made her was down to the kitchen to make a cup of calming herbal tea and placed some scones and fresh fruit onto a plate. She gathered all of it onto a tray and went upstairs again, where she knocked first but then simply entered the room when there was no response. She put it down onto one of the desks and then started to go through Katerina’s wardrobe, searching for comfortable pajamas. When the shower was turned off, she cracked the bathroom door open just enough so she she could hand the clothes through. “Here.” She said simply with a calm voice.

“You’ve never- You- What?! Wait you-” Ronan scoffed as he chuckled incredulously. “You have no idea what you’ve been missing.”

[genevievestarr]

“Well, I’ve been missing out on a potentially life-threatening addiction. So I think I’m fine with that.”

genevieve starr + tropes

All-Loving Hero

Genevieve falls in love very easily - romantically or platonically. So easily, that her mother once said Genevieve was simply in love with love. She’s generous, thoughtful, charismatic, trusting and easily forgiving. She that person, who believes that everyone had a good core and even if they don’t, they deserve to be loved. There are potential negative implications to this trait and not everyone appreciates her being like this, calling her naive and silly.

Chronic Hero Syndrome

This one goes hand in hand with the first one. Gen wants to help everyone in need, often times not realizing that it isn’t really in her power to make everything better or that it can have negative side-effects on her mood and health as well. She runs herself ragged trying to help others and often doesn’t realize that maybe not everyone wants her help.

Good Is Not Dumb

Going along with the first, Genevieve doesn’t mind being called naive and silly or anything else along those lines, if it means being kind. The faerie is genuinely nice and polite, which often leads to people underestimating her. Not that she’s particularly dangerous underneath her demeanor, but she’s neither weak nor helpless; she can take care of herself and be smart while still being kind. Those traits do not rule out one another.

Cute but Cacophonic

On top of her raspy and husky voice, Gen also tends to get really excited or is just generally enthusiastic and therefore ends up being rather noisy, which you might not expect from first looking at her.

Sweet Tooth

Genevieve is the girl who always has cookie batter pre-made and portioned and ready to be taken out of the freezer to bake, which is why she always has a stash of cookies to eat and to gift. She could eat something sweet every hour of the day and it’s a scary notion to her that somebody could not like dessert.

Martial Pacifist

She’s a pacifist at heart and doesn’t want to see or cause unnecerssary bloodshed, yet she can be deadly if she needs to be. To eliminate the bigger evil for the greater good of everyone.

White Sheep

Genevieve’s family is not evil (well, Arianna might be), but they’re faeries, which makes the decent and nice Genevieve the odd one out in the family and not always appreciated.

[katxherondale]

“No! And if you dare to you might clean your brain from the wall.“ She said cold and dry. Trying to figure out how to calm herself, when it was clearly not possible. The blood was burning but it was somehow statisfing to know she was still alive. Her jaw tensed, just like her body. Everything seemed to be broke, and before she could do anything her fist already connected with the mirror on the wall.

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve leaned har body against the doorframe, but left it closed. “Okay. We can talk from here then. Are you okay?” The faerie asked, huffing out a breath of air as she waited for a reply. But instead of an answer to her question, Gen’s ears ringed with the sound of glass shattering. “Hey. What happened?” She asked more alarmed this time, her hand already on the doorknob, although she didn’t open it just yet.

[carolinexday]

“Not at all. I mean, I don’t know why they would want a mundane like me to be there in the first place- I’ve never killed anything except a bug.”

[genevievestarr]

“It was all very chaotic and rushed to begin with. We should’ve been able to smell that trap from miles away.”

[opheliakeo]

“Yes.”

[genevievestarr]

“What is it with you people and wanting to be alone after traumatic events. That’s not healthy.”

[artemisxtrang]

Looking up at the faerie, Artemis let out a shaky breath and slid the gun across the floor towards her. “Can’t aim properly anyway,” she said bitterly, looking away from Genevieve. Forcing herself to take a deep breath and bit her lip lightly. “Now, can you please just go.”

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve picked up the gun and unloaded and secured it. She might not know how to properly use one, but she knew how to make a gun unusable. “But I don’t think you should be alone right now.” Genevieve told her gently, but staying away for now, respecting her boundaries. “Don’t crawl into that headspace. Talk to me.” She requested in the most undemanding tone possible.

[ronan-hastings-blog]

“A fairie” Ronan chuckled, stepping back. “I had a hilarious experience with fairy blood once. It’s like ecstasy, but in a horrible way.”

[genevievestarr]

“I can’t tell I know what you’re talking about, since I neither ever sucked out the blood of a faerie nor tried ecstasy.”

[katxherondale]

Her arms were pressed to her sides, fists so tight that her knuckles were white already. The gear she wore was slightly torn, a few scratches here and there and she had suffered from a slight nose bleed and the demon blood burned on her skin but nothing could compete with the rage she was feeling inside. Whoever might come in now would get all of it, if they would just say one wrong word or made one wrong move. It was all the anger, disappointment and all the other things that had boiled up inside her and this trap just basically brought it to the top.

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve’s kind and loving nature was often mistaken as naive and weak, but this last attack on the residents of the Institute showed how strong she actually was. Her ‘when life knocks you down, you just get up and try again’ attitude was the thing keeping her from collapsing under the emotional strain she’d been put through today. And because she was one of the few people, who seemed the most stable at the moment, she had been asked to look on some residents and see if she could be of any use - be it to talk or to heal bruises and wounds. “Can I come in?” Genevieve asked softly after she knocked on Katerina Herondale’s door, because she knew that the other girl could be rather quick-tempered.

[carolinexday]

“I’m so done with this shit…”

[genevievestarr]

“I agree. It wasn’t exactly a fun ride.”

[opheliakeo]

Ophelia didn’t turn around when she heard another person enter the room. “It would be better for all of us if you left.”

[genevievestarr]

Genevieve was accustomed to the person Ophelia was after she got to know her a bit over the past months, so she didn’t recoil at the anger ringing in her voice like she would’ve done in the past. “Are you sure you want to be alone?”
