In the aftermath of the Archdemon meeting gone wrong, Selphy finds she's lost her voice. She thinks she's lost Lilith too. Oneshot. Complete. -> takes place directly after LN19 ships: Ainselph Thalassa Neptuna (Selphy)/Lilithiera Fauna Hypnoel (Lilith) (possibly one-sided), Ain (Lucia) & Ainselph Thalassa Neptuna (Selphy), Ainselph Thalassa Neptuna (Selphy) & Leviathan warnings: n/a, mentions of character death and grief/mourning though

“Lilith was worried. She told me she’s stopped by to see you, but you’re always asleep when she peeks her head in.” Selphy averted her eyes, knowing what he would say next. “Selphy, I know you haven’t been sleeping that much. Levia and I have had to tell you to rest more than once.” It was true. Once she finally woke up properly, she paced the space endlessly, so much so that Levia said she’d probably end up making a current there.

Bowing her head so she didn't have to look either of them in the face, Selphy erased her last message and scribbled on the board again:

is furcas ok?

After seeing each other for the first time in years, Lilith asks Selphy to stay. Selphy remembers why she left. Two-shot. Complete. -> takes place during LN6, with pre-canon flashbacks ships: Ainselph Thalassa Neptuna (Selphy)/Lilithiera Fauna Hypnoel (Lilith) warnings: internalized homophobia

“... is that what you want? For your birthday? For me to stay?”

“I-I never said…”

Selphy leans her shoulder against Lilith's with a hum, rubbing her cheek against the side of Lilith's head, against her cool horns. It feels the same as it used to be. Especially when Lilith turns to wrap her arms around her, burying her face in her shoulder. The same as it used to. Lilith doesn’t know that she was the only thing that made her hesitate, that the day she packed up, the night she left, each and every second she thought of stopping and putting everything away. Just because of Lilith. If Lilith said this back then, she would have never left. And maybe, it would all be the same as it used to be.

Selphy is close enough to touch shoulders with and yet far enough that Lilith feels afraid again. What does that mean? What is she thinking? And why?

Is it because of me? Is it because of me?
