Festive Fall Starters

“Look at all the different colours!”

“Everything is quiet and cool… wish I could rest like the rest of the world is.”

“Can we have two weeks of beautiful reds and gilded trees before it gets covered in white?”

“I don’t think these trees got the memo about what season this is.”

“No one complains when winter holidays start early but fall? Oh no can’t do that. What a double standard.”

“More pumpkins need to be bought. There isn’t enough.”

“How many kids do you think will be by this year?”

“Spirits are going to be about in one way or another.”

“There is so much food to cook in so little time.”

“Orchards and pumpkin patches? Yes please!”

“The ravens and crows always remain through the cold. Hardy little bastards.”

“Age doesn’t matter when it comes to jumping in giant leaf piles.”

“Hot chocolate, tea, coffee… too many brisk morning beverage choices.”

“Finally the time of year where I can wear a blanket outside and no one will judge me.”

“Are you a fan of pumpkin in everything?”

“You’re most welcome to drop by for dinner. Just good, warm food, nothing noisy or fancy.”

“The frost may bite in the morning and night, but the sun may soothe it in the afternoon light.”

“All the scarves and gloves seem to be absent. Great.”

“It’s the perfect weather for a small fire in the yard.”

“Are you any good at carving pumpkins?”

“There was something whispering in the wind…”

“Come on now, huddle up. You underestimated the chill.”

“No bugs, no heat… few people want to be outside… it’s perfect.”

“This pile of candy is for the kids, and this pile is for us.”

“Take this coat, you need it. No don’t worry, I’ll be alright.”

wait --Lei, probably to Damon tbh

Send me   ‘ wait ‘   for my muse’s reaction to yours grabbing their arm to keep them from leaving 

Damon stopped the moment Lei wrapped her arms around his. The week had been rough, he’d admit that much. Between the nightmares and the way Posa’s voice in his mind seemed louder than ever, sleep was a luxury his mind couldn’t seem to afford. He knew he was exhausted. Even then without doing anything, he felt unstable on his feet...but Linar gave him an order. He had to go deal with a group of gang members causing trouble down by the docks. He had his shadows and he had his magic. He could take care of the problem discreetly...so long as he kept together long enough to do so. He could do it. He could last another few hours to get the job done.

Can you really?

Damon did his best to ignore Posa and shift his focus to Lei instead. “He gave me an order. I have to go.”

[halfblood-hallestrom]

magicandheart​:

Damon’s chest tightened and his stomach twisted as he helplessly watched Lei sink to the ground. Once she was safely on the ground, he pulled his other hand back.

This is all your fault. You did this to her.

His mouth opened but only a strained noise came out at first. He shut it and clenched a fistful of his sleeve as he willed voice to come back. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean…I’m sorry.”

His body was split in two. One half wanted nothing more than to scoop Lei up into his arms and hold her until she was calm. The other wanted to go on the mission just so he could leave.

That’s right. If you were gone then you’d stop hurting her.

Damon’s throat tightened and eyed darkened from the distress he was trying so desperately to keep buried inside. “I’m sorry.”

Lei forced another few deep breaths and wiped the tears off her face. She reached out and put a hand on his arm softly. “It’s okay, amor, i-it’s okay. I was already on edge a-and I haven’t been sleeping well so....I panicked.”

She gave him a small smile. She knew that if she tried to dive forward and scoop him up in a hug she was likely to spook him, but she hated how he was clearly upset and trying to bury his own panic.

“Take a deep breath, my love. You didn’t hurt me. I....I think it’s part of how these feelings and visions I sometimes get work. The first time it happened, I had a panic attack as my brothers were leaving to go to work after Caleb died, a-and...I was sure something bad was going to happen to Andrew.”

She kept her voice calm, despite how it trembled a little. “I told myself it was anxiety and I brushed it off...and then Andrew was in a car accident on his way home. The only reason he made it out was quick reflexes and a heaping ton of luck. This time...I don’t want to lose you, cariño...”

Agony reversed for Lei and the boys...............let me make her suffer and make the boys suffer by finding her hurt :þ

[AGONY] - Your muse rescues mine from the hands of the enemy, and finds them in terrible shape. 

Damon and Gabe had been searching for hours since they heard word of Lei’s kidnapping. They searched tirelessly throughout the night, using every spell and every skill they had until they located her. They found her tied up to a chair covered in bruises and other injuries with three men between her and them.

The sinking feeling in their guts was nothing compared to the burning anger that overflowed the moment they realized what was going on.

“You’re dead,” Damon declared.

Victoria was a rush of actions as she started treating Lei’s various physical injuries. “Gabriel, how does her magic look? I can treat most everything else, but I can’t tell if this fever and burns are physical, magical, or maybe both.”

Gabe slipped his glasses down his nose to get a better look at Lei’s energy. He gasped. “Some of its her magic. I can see it overwhelming her. I’ll start easing it out of her.”

He got to work slowly easing the excess magic from Lei and safely releasing it through him and into the ground. Even with so much focus on Lei, he can’t help but dedicate a thought to Damon…he wasn’t back yet. What if he had lost control?

Her breath caught in her throat as Gabe’s magic brushed hers, a whimper forming even despite her unconsciousness. It was a good sign. Even though she wasn’t responding to the physical poking and prodding, magic would still get a reaction. Once some of the pressure started to be released, she melted into the bed.

After a while, her fever had eased a bit and Gabe had gotten her magic down to a safer level. She would be fine for a while. Now it was a matter of counteracting the suppressants in her system and getting her healed enough to wake up.

snowed under for lei and the boys? >:þ they're gonna find her and she's gonna be half frozen

Send “snowed under” for my muse to find yours buried in the snow.

“I’m telling you, I have a really bad feeling about this,” Gabe said as they trudged their way through the snow. He tightened his scarf around his face. Flurries fell and the wind howled around them. “Why wouldn’t she answer her phone?”

“I don’t know, but I swear if she tried to go out in this…” Damon kept his eyes peeled on the white landscape before them.

The roads were closed due to ice and snow and the power went out across the city. When a strange vision of Lei hit Gabe they decided to follow it just in case. And here they were…stomping their way through the city streets to get home. His shadows suddenly burst out and rushed towards a dark mass in the distance. Oh gods no. The pair exchanged panicked looks and took off. “Lei!”

They dropped down and shoveled away the snow with their hands revealing it was in fact Lei buried beneath . Damon’s shadows wrapped around her and pulled her out. “Shit! Leibryn!“

Damon paced around upstairs in search of any extra blankets he might have missed in his previous venture to round them up. There was little he could do to help, the least he could do is find more sources of warmth.

Meanwhile, Gabe noticed Lei’s motions and tucked the blanket up around her better. Since she was moving more, he felt it a good time to place another blanket on her. This way he’d slowly warm her up one blanket at a time until it was safe to hold her.

Lei managed a shaky, weak laugh as she curled up under the blankets. “Tha-a-ank y-you...” she managed through her shivering.

Her hands were shaking but she managed to give Gabe a thumbs up and a small smile. It took a moment for her to process that a certain tall shadow prince wasn’t in the room with them and her smile faded slightly, concern in her expression. “Whe-ere’s D-D-Damon?”

magicandheart​:

“What do we do?” Damon asked. He was panicking too much to remember his hypothermia training.

Idiot. She’d die if you were in charge.

Damon’s stomach twisted with guilt. Gabe gave Damon’s hand a squeeze with a small smile. “It’s okay. We have to slowly warm her up. If we do it too slow then she’ll go into shock.”

“I’ll go get more blankets. I think I run too hot to try and warm her with my body heat,” Damon said as he left the room to get more blankets from upstairs.

The boys sounded like they were at the far end of a tunnel, but at least now she could make out more of what they were saying. Her mind was starting to respond at least a little better, though it was still hard to get her body to do....anything, really.

Lei managed to open her eyes and tugged one of the blankets toward her with a small mumble. The tiny part of her brain that was actually able to think clearly knew that she had to get warmer. Actually getting the blanket over herself was another story, but at least she managed to bring it closer. She knew Gabe would figure out what she was trying to do.

'AU' (For the trio!)

35. Lives alone in the woods by a waterfall and finds a confused lost person walking around AU  @magicandheart

Leibryn had been productive. The laundry was up on the line out behind her stone house, her latest experiment was bubbling merrily on the workbench, and it finally looked like it was going to be clear for the next few days. It was the perfect time to go out and pick some more berries and gather herbs from along the bottom of the falls.

She was walking along the sides of the pool below the cliffs when she saw movement along the edge above her, just a shadow in the water until she looked up to see a man…two men near her house. They looked unsure, so she tied her basket back to her belt and climbed up the rocky face fairly quickly. “Hi there!” she called, grinning when her head popped over the edge. “Are you lost?”

[halfblood-hallestrom]

magicandheart​:

Gabe gasped and perked up. “Does that mean the magical deer we followed out here was you? How did you do that, because she was gorgeous!”

Damon looked over in curiosity. He didn’t want to follow the deer but Gabe was too eager to be convinced out of it. It didn’t make too much sense for Lei to be the cause of the deer. Why make something that would lead random people to her house?

Lei’s face flushed slightly pink. “No, uh, the deer was one of the forest spirits. The most I do is just an orb of light, keeps it much simpler. Making an illusion of something so detailed as a forest spirit would take a lot of energy and concentration. If it had been me, I’d probably be asleep by now.”

“Lei wouldn’t purposely bring anyone close to her house unless they were in danger. It’s honestly a wonder you two even spotted it,” Erik piped up from his spot in the window frame. “She keeps the place well warded.”

“What kind of wards specialist would I be if I didn’t have good wards on my own house?” she teased. “The forest spirit you saw probably decided I needed company and brought you my way. She thinks I don’t get out enough.”

[halfblood-hallestrom]

magicandheart​:

“It’s me, Lei. You’re safe now. It’s me.” Gabe caught Lei as she fell against him. He was so distressed. She was so scared and so hurt. He felt so horrible for Lei being kidnapped and hurt so badly to this point of fear.

He shifted his hold to hold her while he reached his hand into his pocket. He pulled out a vial and threw it down to the ground.  The pair were consumed in a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared in a moment, they were in the STF medical wing.

“Victoria! Lei is hurt! I need help!”

Victoria rushed into the room. “Holy shit. Okay, get her on the bed.”

“I think they’ve been drugging her. Can you check?” Gabe followed her instructions and did so.

“I will. I can smell it in her system.” Once Lei was laid down on the bed, Victoria set to work on checking her injuries and pulling blood for bloodwork.

The injuries were just as bad as they looked. Several broken ribs, clearly from a blunt object like a bat if the bruising was any indication, an ugly wound on her shoulder where an knife had been dug in and twisted, a bruised esophagus, and bruises on her neck clearly in the shape of a hand. Her nose had been broken and she had lost a lot of blood.

They had clearly been having their fun with her.

The worst was the fever, caused by her magic building up under her skin. The blood loss meant the only real color on her skin was the bruising and the red that the fever painted across her cheeks. The magic was burning her, the skin on her fingers starting to blister, and it would only get worse the longer it was trapped in her system

Damon did his best to ignore Posa and shift his focus to Lei instead. “He gave me an order. I have to go.”

[halfblood-hallestrom]

magicandheart​:

He didn’t need Posa’s help. Since when did he actually offer advice that could save his life?

It wont be as much fun to watch if you’re too tired to put up a real fight.

Of course, how could he be so inconsiderate of his entertainment value?

The way Lei started to panic tore Damon from his own thoughts in an instant. He knelt down to be more eye level with her as he took her hands. “Lei, breathe. It’s going to be okay. I won’t go if it’s making you this scared, okay? I’ll call Linar and tell him…something. Please, breathe.”

“I-I-I’m....t-tryi-ing...” she managed, struggling to get her lungs on board with the whole breathing thing. Lei couldn’t look at Damon. She couldn’t breathe. One hand pulled away from his to rest on her chest, as though that would suddenly fix it. “Da-amon, I-I--”

Her head spun again and her knees buckled as she managed to lower herself to the floor instead of full on collapsing. After a minute, she managed to suck in a proper deep breath, curled in on herself. All her focus was on fighting her lungs to get them to breathe as her hand squeezed his slightly. Once she could finally get enough oxygen to speak, she looked up at him shakily, ignoring the tears she could feel on her face. “I-I’m sorry...”

❇ for Lei and Gabe? ((I need more fluff :Þ))

❇ - Stargazing with them

It had been one of those stressful weeks where the bad guy got away, his partner Damon’s temper almost got them killed again, and a potion mishap almost burnt the house down. It was almost too much, but tonight made it all worth surviving.

Gabe admired Leibryn as she gazed at the stars twinkling above. The date had been an impromptu idea to help him relax, and it was working. The way her eyes lit up and the softness of her expression warmed his heart and filled his soul with a happiness. It pushed away all of the troubles that been occupying his mind for the week and replaced it with love. The stars may have been beautiful that night, but she was ethereal…breathtaking.

Lei grumbled quietly and stole another sleepy kiss before she buried her face back into Gabe’s chest. Being close to him felt like being wrapped in sunshine, light warming her skin and all she could do was melt. “G’morning angel,” she mumbled, arms wrapped loosely around his waist. “How did you sleep? I had a weird dream…”

She did her best to ignore the feeling in the pit of her stomach that was telling her something bad was going to happen. It was probably the exhaustion mixed with the anxiety. Today was a routine day for them both, but she couldn’t help but worry about Gabe. “…what do you have at work today? All boring stuff?”

Gabe hummed and held his arms around her in a loose embrace back. “I think it went alright, but I feel like I had a nightmare? You know that weird feeling you get when you know you had a weird dark dream, but you don’t remember any of it? It’s kind of that.”

He yawned and debated grabbing his glasses. Lei always looked so beautiful when she was sleepy and bathed in the morning light…but he was also so cozy and didn’t want to move. “They have Damon and I doing follow up interviews with witnesses and stuff. I think it’s going to be mostly boring. How about you?”

[halfblood-hallestrom]

Her blood ran cold for a moment and she could swear she stopped breathing. She convinced her lungs to behave normally and tried not to show the worry on her face as she looked up at Gabe. Her own dread was easier to explain away, but it was definitely strange that he had a weird feeling too.

"I have a bad feeling about today," she murmured, rubbing her eyes tiredly. "Might just be anxiety, but...be careful? I'm probably being overly paranoid, but sometimes it's hard to tell what's an actual warning and what's just the anxiety."
