Aleksis meets Avery and Gem and they’re everything he wanted to protect in humanity.
Of course they’re rough around the edges, and they’re not always the best people morally speaking, but they’re so unabashedly human. Gem loves with his whole heart and is passionate and Avery is trying her best to do what she thinks is right even if she doesn’t know, can’t know, and is getting it wrong, but she’s so desperately trying
And they don’t always get it right. Avery shuts off her emotions and can be cold towards people. Gem knows the quickest words to cut the deepest and uses them when he’s hurting. Both have blood on their hands, and both have fought on the wrong side
But Aleksis still looks at them and remembers what they were supposed to be fighting for
I have seen a lot of discussion about romance and such tonight, but are there any new friend shipping things we should know about?
why must i be cursed to answer these cute questions ? i suppose there are a couple of friendships that have caught my eye recently. fend and nara are a surprisingly wholesome duo. on first glance, it doesn’t seem like they would get along but i think their friendship is good for each other. then there’s ace and wes, who met at the sci-fi drive-in and i think their friendship could be really cute and on the chaotic side. which is my favorite kind of friendship, really. then there’s failynn and hope who give me total sisterly vibes while also complimenting each others personalities. i think that’s what hope needs after spending all her life with two brothers, ew. then there’s alex and benjamin who are absolutely adorable. the fact that benjamin wants to help alex out and be his wingman is so lowkey cute. then there’s aleksis and christopher who i could see becoming this super powerful friendship duo and taking over the town. like, please ! last but not least, the light teasing and instant friendly chemistry between lamia and joseph when they met in the library has me rising a brow.

Eternal WIP Excerpt
“Why didn’t you ever tell me? What didn’t think you could trust me?”
“Reine-“
“Tell me the truth Arkender.” The effect of his name was immediate, like he’d been slapped in the face.
“The truth? You want the honest to gods truth? No. I didn’t trust you. Why would I? Your reputation and anger proceeded you and what would you have done? Gone into a rage and screamed and fought me? And then how would I ever have gotten us to where we are now.”
“Where we are now? Our entire relationship is built on a lie! Was anything real?”
“Of course it was.”
“Really? How am I to know that? We met under false pretenses that you’ve kept up for centuries. Did you ever truly care about me? Do you care about me?”
He reached for her then, but her body recoiled away. To protect itself. To protect her. From him, of all people.
Before she really knew what she was doing, she’d left and ran for several streets. At some point she’d stumbled into a bar.
Where she remained for an unknown amount of time before a voice, an all too familiar voice broke through her frantic thoughts. “What’s the saying? ‘Look what the cat dragged in’? Or perhaps in this case, what the cat let go.”
“Go away Conor.”
“Hmm. No, I think I’ll stay. Besides, in this state, you really shouldn’t be alone raindrop. Whatever he did must have been pretty bad. Unless of course you’re here because of that mortal. Really, that would just be-“
“He lied about the reason we met and used me.” The words were out before she considered who it was she was talking to. But then, what could he do compared to that of all things?
“I’m sorry.” His words sounded….genuine. The shock must have shown on her face as she turned to him, because he held his hand to his chest and affected a pained expression. “You thought I wouldn’t care? We were friends once my dear, and I am hardly one to let such valuable things slip through my fingers. Truly, I am sorry, both that he did it, and that you found out. If you’d allow me, I think I might know how to take the edge off?”
Somehow, he looked just as genuine as he sounded.
But this was Conor, he couldn’t be trusted. She shouldn’t trust him.
But that voice sounded distinctly like the very person who had lied to her for almost all of her life.
And in this moment? She desperately wanted to. Needed to.
“What did you have in mind?”
He smiled.

“Heal her!”
“No.”
“Why not?” He grit out. “You like her, don’t you? You thought she could be a friend. So why won’t you help her?”
“What did you promise her?”
“What?”
“How far have you promised to protect her?”
“I didn’t--just help her! Abysses below, you want me to be a villain? Fine, heal her now or I will end all of you, and I promise nothing will stop me short of death.”
For a moment, it looked like Aleksis would refuse, and he drew the blade from her belt.
“Fine.”
- - - -
“You said he wasn’t supposed to care about anything. That he couldn’t care about humans. You told me that.”
She raised an eyebrow. “Does it matter? What’s done is done, my dear angel.”
The surprise in his face from being so easily trapped and threatened was broken by the twisted laugh and sneer that spread across his features. “You’re what? Threatening my life? You really thought that would work on me? The girl you claimed to have trained, everything she knew from you, so she would become someone just like you, couldn’t even do it. Not even after I’ve done. If she can’t after everything you’ve taught her, you’ve bragged of making her into, why would I believe you could?”
His head dropped for a moment, “Ah, how unfortunate,” a smile of his own—hopefully as cruel as he was in that moment—appeared as he looked up. “How unfortunate you weren’t a better listener.” He pressed the blade forward.
The laughter died in those eyes as the reality of the situation finally set in.
“I didn’t train her to be like me, I trained her to be better. To be good. Because I’m not. Never was. Pity you weren’t listening.”
“The Eternals? You don’t really believe in all that do you?”
“I’d watch your words if I were you. You never know who might be listening.”
“Oh spare me, all of that is ridiculous. They don’t exist. Monsters and angels sure. I’ve met enough people to believe that, but beings powerful enough to control the world? To control fate? Ha! I’m the master of my own destiny.”
“You’re so certain about that aren’t you?”
“Of course.”
“I think someone needs to change that.”
