Imagine Lilia x reader who is immortal
Angst
You had known Lilia almost his whole life, back before the war, when he had learned you were immortal (either because of your species, maybe a curse, or anything like that) he finally understood why you were always so hesitant to get close to others, you knew they would die while you lived on and it was easier to isolate yourself then face the pain of losing everyone again. Yet no matter how you tried you kept coming back to him, and you eventually fell in love. As time passed everything around you grew older while you remained as if frozen in time, your husband changed a lot his hair shorter and now had hot pink highlights instead of the red, he had more scars and body aches than you could count and his love for you just kept growing everyday. You now had three lovely boys Silver your adopted son, Sebek your good friends grandson, and Malleus your sweet prince who you and Lilia spent so long trying to hatch but it was all worth it. As time continues to pass the boy's all graduated from NRC and moved on with their lives Malleus became king, Sebek and Silver became his loyal knights, and Lilia retired with you, while you tried to make the most of the time you had with all of them.
Then the pain came, one you knew was coming but didn't want to experience again, you were losing your family all over again. Silver was the first, of course he was, he was only human. You and Lilia had to bury the baby you had raised, that tiny baby you had found all those years ago was now grown up and in a box underground. Silver was mourned by his family and friends but it hit you particularly hard because you knew you only had so long before you would be mourning alone.
The next was Lilia. The man you love, who you had known for hundreds of years. You knew this day would come since the day you met but that didn't make it easier when the day actually came. You had lost your other half, and you had to bury him just like you did your son. You knew it would take centuries before you even thought about moving on, if you ever did. Even years after his death you still mourned and you would visit your husband and son every day.
Then Sebek, it had been a years after Silver and Lilia when he passed away. The little boy that you and Lilia had helped raise and train into the strong and fearless knight he had been for so long was now dead. Sebek had lived longer than a human would from his half fae blood but didn't have anywhere near the life expectancy of a full blood fae. Now three graves sat next to each other and only you and Malleus remained.
Hundreds of years had passed but you never stopped visiting your boys, and only once Malleus had died did you completely break. Your first baby was now beside your other babies and husband. You had buried your babies and your lover. But even as time passed and the world changed, you never left, instead you built a new life around your boys. Their graves now lie in your backyard under a beautiful tree, you see them everyday, speak to their graves when the silence becomes to loud.
And yet, even though it hurts so much, you don't regret anything. You would choose Lilia and you sons over and over again even though you knew it would end like this. Their memory still alive in your home, Silver's sword, Sebek's armor, Malleus's crown, Lilia's mask from his war days and most importantly the ring he married you with that never left you finger. You had paintings and photos of them so you would never forget their faces, handmade gifts from when they were children, and video's of their voices so you wouldn't forget what they sounded like. All of them persevered with magic so they could never be destroyed. You would never forget your boys, even if it sometimes hurts to remember.
