Valentine's illustrations this year

Some official Valentine's Day illustrations of the couples with some of the old S2 couple artworks. (RIP Aisha & Nabu for still not having a proper artwork together.) I really like the way they styled the backgrounds for these, very adorable! Especially Musa & Riven, obviously, but I also like the ones for Stella & Brandon and Tecna & Timmy a lot.

Underrated moments between the winx couples imho

This Stella and Brandon is so soft and warm I wanna cry

Musa and Riven staring at each other and smiling

Flora and Helia (this is a little later on s 6), she is just with a hand on his face but the act itself is very soft and romantic for me specially because she was like "I am gonna save him"

Tecna and Timmy staring at each other from afar, idk this moment is powerful in my opinion <3

Sky and Bloom running together at the celebration in the end of s 2, those 2 are so cute sos, prince core ™

For Aisha and Nabu when they were enjoying simple things on earth was really lovely, while its not very specific moment there were a lot of it on s 4 so it was hard to choose but look at them here together it is so beautiful pls bring him back

Ship 161 ~ Posting my favorite ships

Stella 🌞🛍 | Brandon 🏍🥈

[charmixpower]

Favourite couples for each Winx? (I'm not sure if you have done this) If you've done that, what are your fav alternate pairings for the Winx?

!!! ( ≧∀≦)ノ♡♡♡

Bloom and Diaspro has slowly become my top favorite Bloom ship. I used to not care for it, but now I think its peek... Bloom realizing she really fucked up when attacking Diaspro in s1, and trying to genuinely make it up to her in s2, Diaspro warning the Winx about Valtor and asking them to save her in s3, Diaspro helping Domino and Earth re/integrate and Bloom manage all the politics... they're literally so sweet. What if I fell in love when without any pretences of who you are. Gah

My fav Alt Bloom ship is my favorite Tecna ship LMAO. Even if Tecna AroAce real. FIREWALL!!! Tecna's cute girl era x Bloom's leader Era! They're literally so cute and weird girl together. Fucking off to do stupid plans without warning anyone, being odd balls at soical functions, and talking about anime. Bloom is avoidant, Tecna runs at conflict as fast as she can. You understand. They had a small rivalry in s1, bc they disagreed on everything, but looked up to the other and kept thinking they were cute lol <- surprisingly clingy

A second favorite Tecna ship is also my third favorite Aisha ship. WLW fandom, no way to make a neat list. But Tecna/Aisha... the two most bullheaded, independent, competitive women alive are dating!!! And you are the splash zone!! These two will never hesitate to throw themselves into danger. I think they're funny

Im gonna put my second favorite Aisha ship here, so it goes 3-2-1 for Aisha. But Aisha/Nabu!! One of the best canon ships. Nabu is a moron but he's very endearing. Tbh I wish they weren't arranged, which is the other thing keeping this ship down, along with the fact that Aisha lesbian real, but its still cute and its SO easy to write for. Their relationship is so vivid I adore them

My favorite Aisha ship is Musa/Aisha, and its also my second favorite Musa ship. Must I expain? Is there anything to expain? They're s2 friendship is literally so important to me and it only gets better in s3. NOT TO MENTION THEIR DATE IN S2 GIRLS!!!!! AND THE S2 FINALE AHHH!!! Theyre literally so fucking cute I will die

Rivusa guy says her favorite Musa ship is Rivusa. Fork found in kitchen. I love them, I love season 2, Im especially loving the comics rn because GOD is Comics Rivusa and especially comics Riven perfect. Thee BPD couple... I love them. Btw their comics dynamic is Introvert x Introvert, and it's so cute. They're just chilling in the background a lot of the time. My fav thing about this couple is that s2 showed that they both had to put a lot of work into getting there... they were so real for that!! Mentally ill couple!!

My second favorite Flora ship is FloRiv now i think?? I've written a suprising amount about this ship, and its won over Flora/Diaspro. But like they're such a classic couple, starts in s2 obvi. Recovering badboy/asshole x Recovering people pleaser. Its cute. It gives me brain worms. Shes patient with him, he encourages her to speak up for herself. AND you cannot tell me Chatta and Riven are not friends. The fucking gossip girls

My favorite Flora ship is Flora/Mirta!!!! Sorry they were SOOOO CUTE!!! And there's so much interesting stuff about them!! Fairy/Witch ship, Impulsive shy girl x Calm deliberate Mom friend. They would be so much fun together!!!! Absolute disaster lesbians, Mirta literally gonna be fighting demons for Flora soon!! They make potions together

Stella is obviously brella, Stella/Brandon reins supreme!!! I like Rivusa more, but I must bow down to thee fucking couple of all time. Literally no notes!!! I love these two in s1 so much, especially post reveal, and they are so adorable in s2!!!! And the dress reveal in s3!! Theyre cute in the comics too, btw, tho Stella is more rude she's also funny as hell and they just get eachother

My second favorite Stella ship is Bloom/Stella, solarflare lets gooo!!! Tbh despite liking firewall more im more likely to default to solarflare bc they're thee winx/winx couple. They just make sense. Two neurodivergent girlies become best friends and girlfriends within the span of a week. Peek u-haul lesbian behavior

Oh hey, we came full circle back to Bloom!

[irisdonwinx]

So I wrote a microfic??? My first ever one???

my soul knows yours

Characters: Stella, Brandon, mentions of sky bloom and erendor

Relationships: Stella/Brandon, Sky & Brandon, Stella & Bloom, Sky & Erendor

Summary: Post s1, after Brandon and Sky reveal their true identities. Stella and Brandon have a conversation where Brandon opens up.

Additional tags: very slight mention of abuse, kissing (nothing too explicit)

Word count: 1,005 words

Tagging for boost: @tazlory @shadownymphette @melissatheshowgirl

Brandon sighed, hitting his head lightly on the wall behind him. The floor felt awfully cold, but he couldn't be bothered to get up right now. His limbs felt weighed down from training today. Codatorta never went easy on his students.

Stella rested her head on his shoulder, the soft strands of her hair brushing against his jaw. He tilted his head slightly to place a kiss on her hair.

"I'm sorry," he spoke after a while, breaking the silence that had settled around them like a dense fog. "For lying to you."

Stella slapped his arm lightly, as if reprimanding him. "I told you already, I'm not mad at you."

"I know, you've said it three times now. But—" Brandon let out a groan of frustration, running his hands through his hair. "I still feel terrible that—"

"Brandon." Stella moved so that she was in front of him, and took both his hands in hers. "Tell me, if we could turn back time, would you have done it any differently? Would you have told me your true identity from the very start?"

Brandon stared at the golden eyes of his love, watching the tiny flecks of gold shimmer as she blinked at him, waiting for an answer. "No," he said truthfully. "I wouldn't change a thing."

"Exactly. So why are you apologizing? You did what you had to do."

Brandon brought Stella's hands close to his lips, and kissed her knuckles. "I still think I must . . . explain myself. I dunno, you already know what happened but I—"

"Then do it," Stella interrupted, smiling sweetly at him. "If you think you'll feel better after explaining yourself, then I'm all ears."

Brandon shifted, crossing his legs. "Sky was in danger from rebels in Eraklyeon. Erendor had run the kingdom to the ground and the citizens were very unhappy with him that they wanted to demolish the entire bloodline. And Sky needed to get out of there."

Stella squeezed his hand in comfort. She saw Brandon's face change, as if he was reliving something horrifying. "Sky was going insane, he was so depressed, so fucking tired of his father's bullshit. He needed a change of environment, he needed to get out. I was afraid that, if I didn't do something he'd— I would lose him."

Brandon's voice broke, and he let out a shaky breath. Stella placed a hand on his cheek, rubbing his knuckles with her other hand. She was trying her best to comfort him while he spoke his heart out.

"Erendor — that prick — gave us an ultimatum when we went to ask him if Sky could enroll in Red Fountain. Sky and I should switch personalities — I pose as Prince Sky and never, never break my role. And Sky gets to be me, the prince's personal guard."

"That's absolutely cruel," Stella remarked, her voice soft and soothing. She knew it had an effect on her boyfriend, for his shoulders immediately relaxed, and he leaned into her touch. "It was such a big responsibility for you."

"It was, but it was the only solution I could see. Sky needed to be away from that abusive man. And so I said yes, much to Sky's disapproval—" Brandon snorted in amusement, as if the memory was funny now. "And you know the rest."

"Mhmm. It was very noble of you." Stella resorted to holding both his hands again. She couldn't get enough of Brandon, he was so perfect. She wanted to be near him at all times.

"Stella," Brandon spoke, gazing into her eyes with such sincerity that Stella gasped slightly. "I need you to know that I love you, have loved you ever since I laid my eyes upon you. It's only that, I feel so overprotective of Sky. I don't think I'll ever be okay if something happens to him."

Stella chuckled. "Funny, I feel the same for Bloom. So I get you. She's my baby, I'd burn the world to keep her safe."

Brandon smiled, and pulled Stella on to his lap. She went willingly, putting her arms around his neck and dipping her head down to steal a kiss. He obliged, letting himself relax as they kissed slowly.

They pulled away for air, Brandon resorting to playing with the strands of Stella's long hair. "Thankyou for being honest with me," Stella spoke after a while. "I didn't think I could love you more, but here I am."

Brandon laughed, leaning in for another quick kiss, a loud one that made Stella giggle. "And thankyou for letting me honest with you," he replied, smiling at her. He took in her golden hair that fell so elegantly over her face, her golden eyes framed by long lashes, her button nose and heart-shaped lips — he was overwhelmed by love and thanked all the stars for blessing him with such luck.

"I need you to know," Stella spoke up after a while, her voice soft yet firm, laced with sincerity that grabbed Brandon's attention. "That you do not have to ever choose between me and Sky. What you and Sky have is something really special, and I would never want to be the reason for any rift between the two of you. It's not the same, but I think we both can agree on the fact that we can never think of anything more horrendous than something happening to Sky and, in my case, Bloom. So, I understand. I will always understand. And I know that you will too. What we have is special in its own way, there is no comparison."

Brandon stared at her. He was taken aback — how could someone reach out and read his soul so easily? He felt seen, he felt content. He dipped his head down to kiss Stella's hands, love and devotion radiating from his heart. "And here I thought, I couldn't love you more."

Stella chuckled, pulling him into another kiss. Brandon let himself relax completely, knowing he had finally gotten everything he ever wanted in his life.
