Blair: [kisses Vixen]

Vixen: what the fuck was that?

Blair: affection? love?

Vixen: odd but welcome, you may continue.

Blair [eyerolling]: how do I love you as much as I do?

here u go babs! set in my fantasy/royal au. blair is a fae princess and vixen and servant - hope you like it!

8. a kiss in secrecy.

Blair’s favorite place was between Vixen’s arms — it was such a shame they couldn’t be together like they wanted.

Blair was bethodered to someone else, and Vixen was a “simple” servant. Vixen was everything but simple. She was so funny, so smart and protective. Sometimes Blair wondered if anyone, included the other servants, could see what Blair saw when she looked at Vixen — or perhaps she was way too in love.

Nevertheless, Vixen had no place being a servant. With her beauty and grace, she should be part of royalty, and if she was part of royalty, they could be together just like they wanted. Blair sighed. If only…

She snuggled closer to Vixen’s chest.

“Do you ever think about the future?” Blair asked, dozing off thanks to Vixen running her fingers in her hair.

“Future as in tomorrow or a year from now?” Vixen replied with another question. Blair closed her eyes for a moment.

“Future as in what will happen with us once I’m wed to prince Dusty,” she mumbled with a bitter tone.

The least thing Blair wanted was to marry Dusty — he was a good guy, but she could never love him like she loved Vixen. Vixen sighed, lifting Blair’s chin to meet her gaze with her free hand.

“It won’t change anything — he will move here, I will serve you two, and we will still have our encounters,” Vixen assured her. But Blair wasn’t so confident about that.

“How are so sure nothing will happen?” Blair wondered with worry. Vixen chuckled.

“Because he doesn’t have your heart, and I do.” she bragged. Blair smiled and giggled.

“You do,” she replied, placing her arms behind Vixen’s neck. “And you always will.” and without any other word, she pulled her into a sweet, loving kiss.

Maybe she had to hide with Vixen in storage rooms to express their love, but she was far happier with those little moments than with her entire life as a princess.

Asia: Fuck, marry, kill - me, Blair, and Cracker.

The Vixen: Fuck you, marry Blair, and kill Eureka.

Eureka: I wasn’t even one of the options, what the fuck?

Blixen (Blair X Vixen) number 12

12. things you said when you thought i was asleep

Blair’s head drooped against the couch cushions. Fuck, she was tired. She had no idea what time it was. Vixen and Brianna were still laughing about something but Blair was too tired for this. She knew her friends wouldn’t mind if she took a nap. Closing her eyes, Blair let herself relax into the pillows. She would just take a short nap and she knew Vixen and Brianna would wake her up if something happened. 

Vixen and Brianna had stopped laughing. It was silent for a second and Blair could feel herself drift off before she heard Vixen’s voice. “She fell asleep huh?” Brianna spoke up. “She worked overtime today. She’s probably exhausted.” It was quiet again and then Blair heard Brianna’s voice. “You’re looking at her like that again.” This piqued Blair’s interest. Was Vixen looking at her some kind of way? Vixen sighed. “I know. Brianna, what am I supposed to do?” Brianna sounded frustrated. “Just tell her! Vix, you’ve had this crush for over a year!” Crush? What crush? Blair stayed still, sleep the last thing on her mind now. 

“I can’t tell her Brianna. I don’t want to ruin the friendship we have. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? Or if it doesn’t work out and we break up?” Brianna’s voice was soft. “I know you’re scared. But Vix, you have to tell her. The entire time she dated Dusty she thought you were upset cause of shit at work but everyone else knew it was cause she was dating someone. Blair’s single again, you should tell her.” It took all of Blair’s will power not to say something. She couldn’t believe that Vixen liked her as more than a friend. Both Vixen and Brianna were silent for a few seconds. Vixen sounded pained. “Brianna I love her.” Blair kept her eyes shut, and clenched her jaw. Brianna sighed. “I know.”
