blue
send me a color and i’ll write a drabble with our muses with that color as the theme
Abraxas was an boy made of blue ice. Brilliant, hard, and unbreakable—he would either stay wholly intact or pieces of him would shear off, but never would he shatter. He was wise beyond his years, built up on so much knowledge and nuance all compressed into one being. He was a late afternoon sky after rain, subtle and untouchable. He was navy velvet, vieux riche, luxe and refined and classic. Abraxas was a new bruise, black-and-blue, inescapably attached to the memory of something unpleasant, no matter how hard you try to forget or how much you want to separate the cause from the effect. He was a sapphire, he was the dark blue ring around the iris of a fair-eyed maiden, the endless blue of the ocean deep. But, when Fiora saw Abraxas for the first time—she a first year, he a third—he was framed not by a weeping sky nor was he wearing anything more than his Hogwarts robes and Slytherin colors, and she did not think of him as cold, but rather she smiled up at him—shyly, unknowingly, delicate as the four soft petals of a periwinkle hydrangea and cheeks rounded like grape hyacinths—and met his eyes with wonder. She’d seen blue eyes before, but never a pair that struck her as so piercing. He had eyes filled with such purpose, as though he knew without a doubt the direction he was going, and his eyes were ever looking towards a goal unseen to her. It was a brief moment swamped in her mind alongside seconds just as brilliant to her, but from time to time, when she sees him in the halls, she wonders if it’s just a trick of the light or if his eyes are not longer the same shade of surety.
