#gren x corvus

[raayllum]

tossing out interest for a tdp rarepair week either for early november??

[smarthufflepuff]

Idk mate

Ok I’ve seen that a lot of people ship Amaya with the sunelf and that’s cool even though I ship her with Gren (because I love him). But if she does end up with the elf I need Gren to end up with Corvus.

Gren is precious and if he dies I’ll cry

Oh another note I really don’t want this fandom to be like the Voltron one

[raayllum]

“So, Amaya and Janai, huh?”

The Spire is quiet, but Corvus has never known Gren to be one to follow suit, so he’s not surprised the other man is talking. Gren talking had become the basic background noise of Corvus’ life in some years when training for the Katolian army, whether Gren was translating for the General or not. Nor does Corvus mind his chatter. There is a lot to catch up and a lot of pieces to put together, even if none of them have many answers concerning the general they serve; it had just been a relief to meet back up together in Duren, when everything had gone south in Katolis.

Gren had told him Amaya was most likely dead, but there had been little time for Corvus to believe it and process and grieve before it had been proven miraculously, beautifully, untrue. 

Still, Gren knows more about what Amaya’s been up to the past couple of weeks — captured by Sunfire elves and there when Lux Aurea fell — just as Corvus knows more about what the princes have been up to, which Gren is also rapt to know. Especially since both aunt and nephew seem to have new elf friends.

“Amaya certainly seems pleased,” Corvus comments. The short time he’s seen them together, Janai and Soren checking Amaya over after the battle for any more serious injuries, he can’t begrudge the elf. Especially when Rayla had proven to him over two weeks ago that elves were hardly evil.

“I thought she’d get a relationship after the war,” Gren reveals, “not during.”

“Well, she’s always been an over-achiever.” Like her youngest nephew. Ezran is curled up with the Dragon Prince by the queen’s claw, most of the elves and humans asleep in the immediate antechamber, as it’s warmer and not everyone has blankets. Part of Corvus wonders why he and Gren haven’t followed suit, but he feels both more awake and exhausted than ever.

It’s really done. He won’t be needed as a tracker or a spy. He’ll go back to Katolis with Ezran, of course. He feels responsible for the boy, and has quickly become fond of him, too. He’s a good kid. The more people he has looking out for him, the better. As for Gren, Corvus thinks he’ll go wherever Amaya goes, but that hasn’t always been true. And who knows where Amaya will go now. To Katolis with her nephew, to help rebuild their army? To the breach to safeguard until peace is more permanent? Or even with the woman who fought beside her?

Gren must be having similar thoughts, because he says, “Yeah. Wonder where that leaves both of us.”

Their lives had been service and their identities soldiers, in a way, for so long. Who will they be now? At the very least, Corvus knows he wants them to stay friends.

“You’re free to come back to Katolis with us,” he says quietly, and Gren catches his eye and grins, soft and dimpled. Freckles clear in the low light. “If you’d like to. And if you don’t... would you like to write me?”

Gren lights up with an excited whisper. “We could be pen pals!”

Corvus chuckles, because it is the answer he expected. He stares at the man a second longer when he turns away. 

Well. At least Corvus knows one thing for certain: he could expect long, ten page letters from Gren sometime very soon.

(The man must surely write as much as he talks.)

it is what it is

Can I make a suggestion on ship names for Corvus and Gren. *ahem* CORN

okay i don’t ot3 them but now this is making me think of soren’s “butter them up” bc he wants boyfriends and. im screaming internally

[raayllum]

Also Gren/Corvus

the rarepair that snuck up on me and then seized my heart. they’re just... so cute? and have so much shared history and are also matching beard boys maybe. they aesthetically look great together, seems to be a ship for people who stan gren or stan corvus respectively, or both. i feel like gren could help corvus lighten up and be more sure of himself and that corvus would also improve gren’s confidence and keep from getting in deep shit as often. amaya is best person at their wedding. 10/10

[raayllum]

OKAY BUT GLEN AND CORVUS IS ACTUALLY SO GENIUS THO AND I NEED ITTT

i didn’t think about them at all and then i started a singular drabble like three weeks ago (altho it’s up now) and then it was 3 am and i was lying in bed and this came to my brain so i wrote it down

tempo: Gren walks into love with Corvus with his eyes closed.

why is that the summary? why is called ‘tempo’? i don’t know. they have amaya and beards in common and have only actually shared one scene together in end credit art. but we’re here now, aren’t we

aren’t we

[raayllum]

gren/corvus drabble tomorrow?? maybe?? we shall see
