she is considering a playful toss
I'm late but here's @lolirockmultishipweek day 3 - Beach babes! I've always been a big fan of Carissa and Lyna as a rivals to lovers pairing. the beach prompt was such a good excuse to make some swimsuits for a couple of girlies with very few canon outfits
Lolirock Multiship Week Day 1 - Auristo - First Kiss
Here’s some headcanons on how I think a first kiss between these two would go:
Surprisingly it takes awhile to happen?
Like they’re not above kissing each other one the cheek and Mephisto is more than willing to kiss her hand to the point he does it at the start of every date but they’re first kiss that’s more than a greeting? That takes a bit.
I’m talking two or three months at the very least.
Mephisto wants to make it into a grand event. Auriana doesn’t.
Every time Auri tries to initiate their first kiss Mephisto would pull away or come up with an excuse not to.
Obviously, this annoys Auri soon enough.
Iris, her naive self, thinks he’s just surprisingly shy but Praxina, Talia, and Lyna are like “lol, no.”
After two months Auri is starting to feel insecure and comes to Mephisto crying one night.
He tries to reassure her that he’s waiting for the right time but that jsut makes her worry even more.
Mephisto himself really wants to kiss her but he’s also a big dumb sucker for sappy romance so he holds back because. Dramatics.
The events surrounding their first kiss are surprisingly suitably dramatic, even if not the way Mephisto was planning.
Auri ends up going through Shanila at some point.
Everyone’s confused because they’re all at peace now and Auri hasn’t had any reason to practice her magic as hard now that they’re all living on earth.
Auri’s also upset because as good as her hair is she doesn’t think it’s as good as the first time she went through Shanila as a child.
She ends up locking herself in her room and won’t let anyone else in.
Like this is the longest she’s locked herself up and everyone is worried.
Talia doesn’t even like their relationship but after three days she sits Mephisto down and is like “Listen. Auriana may not be letting us in and even if she ignored you before she might come out for you now.”
And she’s absolutely right because Auri immediately opens the door once she hears that it’s him.
Her room’s a total mess and she looks like a slob now but does Mephisto care?
The answer is yes but there are more important things to do like cheering her up.
He isn’t sure what to do though. Words aren’t working and she seems really upset.
In a moment of panic he ends up kissing her and wiping away her tears.
She returns the kiss and Mephisto returns it even as she’s getting him covered in snot.
After they finish Auriana asks him why he decided now was a good time to kiss her.
He explains that he doesn’t know, it just felt right, moreso than any of the plans he had,
She ends up laughing. She should have known. Of course he’d be planning things with his flair of the dramatics!
From that moment on, kisses become more common in their relationship.
There’s a story to go with it but it is getting a bit longer than I expected, which is why I missed the day. I decided to post this anyway and finish the story in the meantime.
Never say never, especially when two souls are such perfect companions.
Read it on ao3 or below:
There’s a whole universe out there beyond the stars, a universe that’s ever expanding and growing faster and faster with every passing second. A universe where anything and everything is possible. A universe, where even the most different of souls can find peace with one another.
In one of those universes, there are two girls, two princess; joined by the fates and created to be perfect counterparts.
One, a princess of all that is good and kind, trusting so easily and helping all those she can. Loving without a second’s thought, without prejudice. Her heart pulsing and overflowing with it, enhancing her magic and clouding her judgement.
The other, a shell of hate and distrust, blood corrupted by evil, heart devoid of all but the simplest of love - sibling love. And even that fades the more the dark magic infects her.
But there’s a day when the infection releases its hold.
There’s a day when the princess with evil at her heart forgets who she is, and learns what forgiveness it. She learns kindness, and how to help people, to do what is right, what is good.
It feels… strange to see her as a friend, even stranger for Iris to feel her heart flutter something silly whenever she looks at Praxina helping someone, or smile, or laugh, or blush, or anything. Everything Praxina does sends butterflies to her stomach and clouds to her head. But it still feels strange; and it hurts.
Because this isn’t going to last. Because eventually she’ll have to let her go.
It hurts so much.
For now, they have a night. A night to stare up at the sky in all its glory, dreaming of a universe where they have a lifetime together, a lifetime for love and a lifetime for forgiveness.
The other girls have fallen asleep in the car, the night dragging out far too long for them.
But Iris wants to spend every moment she can with Praxina, wants to hold her hand as she introduces her to the world of humans, show her that they are their equals. Wants to keep her close forever.
Their fingers brush hesitantly, Praxina blushing that beautiful rouge once more. And then they’re holding hands, eyes still on the sky, but mind and heart very much on each other.
“Is this… good?” Praxina asks tentatively.
Iris hums under her breath. “It feels good to me, what about you? Does it feel good to you?”
“Y-yes. I believe so. I have that warm feeling again.” She frowns. “But I cannot seem to get my thoughts in order, I cannot concentrate on the celestial lights. And my heart keeps lurching uncomfortably in my throat.”
Her own heart doing the same, Iris replies, “That’s love.”
Praxina blinks and shifts her attention to Iris. “Love? Is that like… friendship?”
“The best kinds of love are built on friendship, and you can love your friends. But I mean romantic love, the kind of love where you can’t stop thinking about the other person and just want to hug them and kiss them and-”
“What is a… kiss?” Praxina interrupts.
Iris opens her mouth then closes it. Of course she doesn’t know. “A kiss is when you press your lips to another person’s. It’s usually a symbol, a declaration of love,” she tries to explain, remembering the fairytales of her youth. “Saying that you want to be with that person for as long as you can, because you love them.”
“So… what I am feeling… is love? For you?”
Iris blushes and brushes her thumb over the back of Praxina’s hand. “I hope so, because I feel it too.”
Praxina grins, and Iris swears she’s never seen anything so beautiful or as stunning. “Then this is excellent!” Praxina exclaims, “we can spread out love and kindness throughout the entire universe and then everyone will feel warm and good.”
If only it could be true. Iris laughs at her enthusiasm, but not in a bad way. She wishes with all her heart that, together, they could make that vision come through.
As Iris leans her head against Praxina’s shoulder, something glitters across the night sky.
“What is that?” Praxina asks, eyes full of curiosity.
And Iris smiles. “A shooting star. You’re meant to make a wish.” When Praxina looks at her confused, Iris explains further. “Something you want to come true, a hope, a dream, anything. Something you want or need.” Like wanting to be here forever with-
“You,” Praxina says without hesitation.
Iris gasps softly, face flushing as Praxina squeezes her hand. Almost instinctively, they move closer together, mere millimetres between them, want and need reflecting into each other’s eyes. “We’re meant to be looking at the stars,” Iris murmurs.
“I am.”
Their lips meet and their hearts soar, using what little time they have left together to be with each other. They kiss under a blanket of universes, their love shining brighter than the closest star. In the night light, Iris’ hair turns to moonlight and Praxina’s shimmers as Iris weaves it around her fingers, pulling her once enemy closer and deepening the kiss.
But it’s all for nought.
Iris still offers Praxina the crown of Runic, and Praxina still sheds tears as she thanks Iris for her friendship, for her love. Praxina still returns to her old evil self and goes home with her brother.
When her brother isn’t looking, she stares longingly at the friendship bracelet Iris gave her, and remembers how sweet and right her lips had felt on hers, remembers that warm feeling inside her whenever Iris was near.
She remembers their brief love.
And when her brother falls down, down, down, and the explosion takes him from her, she remembers it. And she renounces it.
Lolirock Multi-ship Week Day 3 - Stargazing (Jodan X Praxina)
The air was cool as Praxina and Jodan stood on the grassy hill, looking up at the millions of stars shimmering in the sky.
Jodan looked over at Praxina who had wide blue eyes, half-amazement and half-something sad as she looked up to the midnight-blue space above her.
"The sky. The stars," Praxina said, squinting her eyes a little. "They look so close, I can almost reach them from the ground."
She stretched her hand out to touch them, despite the distance. Jodan smiled and knelt down to the grass.
“Climb onto my shoulders.” He said.
“Huh?” Praxina said, looking confused.
“I’ll help you get closer to them.”
She tilted her head but did as he said.
Jodan stood up and Praxina gasped as she rose higher. It is not as if she hadn't experienced height before but it was different when it wasn't under her control. But she trusted Jodan and her worry was quickly eased when she looked at the sky.
"You alright?" Jodan asked.
"Y-yes," Praxina blinked at the stars above her. "They're beautiful."
Jodan looked up. "Almost as beautiful as you."
(Art and dabble I did for Lolirock multi-ship week Day 3 for the prompt “Stargazing” for Jodan X Praxina. Still planning on doing Day 2 but I already had the art prepared and the dabble almost finished so... XD)
