I never used to understand ships where the characters never interacted in canon - how would you know what their dynamic would really be like?
Then I discovered Sam/Aelwyn.
I understand now.

[image id: two digital drawings, one of sam nightingale and the other of aelwyn abernant from fantasy high.
first image: sam is a blue water genasi standing profile to the left. her blue-green hair is blowing in the wind. she has freckles all over her face, chest, and shoulders. she is wearing a yellow halter top over a light blue bralette. the background is light orange with peach designs like waves behind her. RIZGUKS is written as a watermark over her shoulder.
second image: aelwyn is a tan high elf standing profile to the right. her long blonde hair is blowing in the wind. she has freckles across her cheeks and pointed ears. she is wearing two silver earrings and a silver necklace with a round pendant. there is a scar that looks like lightning that goes from her right shoulder onto her chest. she is wearing a pink off-the shoulder top. the background is teal, with lighter blue designs like waves behind her. RIZGUKS is written as a watermark to the left of her. end id]
I Am Thinking about the wizard/sorcerer dynamic of these two gals

Sometimes it hits her that the new Aelwyn, despite slowly getting better, doesn’t exactly get out much, so it’s not like she should expect people to know that she’s different now. However, it still feels like a bit of a gut punch when someone looks at her and clearly only sees someone vicious and cruel, an accomplice in bringing about the end of the world (twice, even, but who’s really counting?)
my d20bb fic is out!!! give it a read for 10k+ words of me spiralling over aelwyn abernant, sam nightingale and penelope everpetal 🥰
"Sing me a lullaby."
"Absolutely not," Aelwyn laughs, brushing a stray hair out of Sam's hair. "I don't sing."
"You're a bard," Sam whines, loosely playing with Aelwyn's fingers. "And I don't feel good, you're supposed to be nice to me."
"A storytelling bard. If you want a song, you're better off with Fig," she reminds softly, readjusting herself to wrap her arms around Sam. Despite having the bloodline of a genie, Sam had unfortunately inherited the humanoid terror of menstruating. Even still, Aelwyn is happy to spend the afternoon cuddled close, occasionally casting prestidigitation to create a heating pad.
"But Fig won't make my headache go away," she mumbles, settling into Aelwyn's arms. "You sing for Adaine."
"Low blow, Nightingale," she teases, "But perhaps I could do a little something for my ailing girlfriend."
"I would be in your deepest debts," she laughs.
"You know it is quite dangerous to be in debt with a wizard."
"Maybe," she says before turning to look up at Aelwyn. "But I know this wizard would accept her payment in kisses."
"You're damn right," Aelwyn smiles as Sam presses a soft kiss on her lips. "Now I thought you wanted a song?"
It's an old song, one her mother used to sing to her and Adaine before. Before their expectations were too much. Before they were tools of research rather than human beings. Maybe it can be their song. A song to their future and joy. A song to sing to their children.
But for now, it's just the two of them in this moment of bliss. And that is enough.
