YOU LOVE HIM, YOU DO.
cal looks best drenched in the early morning sun. especially when he squints his eyes open against the sun’s beams, and his irises look like they’re made of liquid gold. he smiles at her crookedly, and, by her colours, viviana loves him. she’s in love with him. she wonders if he knows, if he can tell.
maybe he’ll be able to feel it on her skin as he wraps an arm around her and pulls her close. but if that’s possible, if the electricity dancing over her silver toned flesh gives away the deepest desires of her heart, he doesn’t show it. instead, he buries his face in the crook of her neck, leaving lazy kisses there as he mumbles, ❝ you should’ve left already, vivi. ❞ but he doesn’t release her.
viviana scrapes her nails bluntly against his scalp in the way he likes, making him sigh contently.
AND HERE’S THE MIRACLE:
he chases her through the palace halls like when they were children, laughing madly. he doesn’t try to catch her because if he tried, he’d already have her. part of her is tempted to slow to a pace where he has no choice but to grab her, so that she can be where she longs to be, in his arms.
before she realizes, he’s chased her into a corner, and she has no choice but to turn back at him, her grin wide and wild and free. cal darts forward, reaching out to wrap his arms around her waist so he can lift her off her feet and twirl her around, which makes her laugh in the carefree way that only he can bring out in her. ❝ put me down ! ❞ she giggles, not at all convincingly.
he sweeps his arm under her knees, holding her like a groom holds his new bride, and viviana tries her hardest not to let her mind wander there. thankfully, she’s quickly distracted by a kiss that steals all the breath from her body at once, and her lungs burn for air in the best possible way.
HE LOVES YOU, TOO.
❝ i’m so in love with you. ❞ he says out of the blue one day when they’re lying in his bed together, viviana lost in a history book as cal goes over and over war maneuvers. it really comes from nowhere --- one minute he’s lost in his stack of papers, the next he’s announcing it to the world, as if he’s told her so a hundred times over now. but he hadn’t. this was the first.
viviana looks at him with wide brown eyes, pulling away from his embrace to sit up. ❝ why ? ❞
his smile is gentle as he reaches forward to rest his palm against her cheek, which has her leaning into his touch automatically. ❝ because i just told you that i love you for the first time, and your reaction is. . . to ask me why like you can’t possibly understand why someone would ever love you. well, i do, vivi, i love you. i’ve loved you since we were little kids. i’m always gonna love you. ❞
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE HIM.
viviana likes to consider their first time together as her first time ever, even though it’s a lie. it’s just a much sweeter story, childhood sweethearts taking the next step into adulthood together. cal’s wandering hands are warm and his kisses are hot as the passion they’ve been feeling as of late finally comes to a head, leaving them tangling limbs under the sheets of cal’s bed.
❝ is this okay ? ❞ he asks, and he’s truly concerned for her pleasure. he is the first --- and last --- man who cares more about making her come than he does with himself. he’s a miracle.
but, of course, she’s always known that. she guides him across the sensitive areas of her body, and he catches on rather quickly. then again, cal has always been a quick study, so she supposes there’s no reason this area of learning should be any different. there are times when she laughs at his clumsy hands, and he blushes silver, and she doesn’t think she’s ever seen him so beautiful.
YOU LOVE EACH OTHER, YOU DO.
these days, they rarely leave the bed. usually, they’re locked away in his suite, since neither vienna nor gabriel know the meaning of privacy and tend to come and go from hers as they please. but once the spark of their lust was lit, it was all they could do to keep their hands to themselves when they were in the company of others. but here, there’s no such rule. here, they can touch.
sometimes, all they do is simply touch. cal’s hand will drag up her leg, her thigh. viviana’s fingertips will trace the outline of his strong abs. he’ll feel every inch of her silky smooth skin while she feels the callouses on his hands as he touches her, exploring her body, mapping it out over and over.
but it doesn’t take much for the touching to escalate. maybe his brush over the curve of her breasts will elicit a moan, and then he has to kiss her, and she must kiss him back and they’re already naked --- they like the freedom of being bare --- so the touching becomes less innocently intimate and more passionately sexual, and it’s game over when she takes a fistful of his hair in her hand.
AND HERE’S THE TRAGEDY:
despite all of her manipulative uncle’s tricks and promises, cal will marry evangeline samos. king tiberias announces it at dinner one night, taking the entire family by surprise. and then he excuses himself from the table and leaves, leaving all of them gaping after him as the news soaks in.
viviana spends that whole night crying into vienna’s lap. around midnight, cal comes knocking, but she’s barely holding herself together now --- if she sees him, she’s afraid she will shatter into millions of little tiny pieces, so maven, who’s been sitting with the delucas, turns cal away at the door. and viviana can feel his heart breaking in her own chest and she can barely breathe.
when maven bids them goodnight, her faithful shadow slips in. and vienna and gabriel do what vienna and gabriel do best: help her plot out ways to kill evangeline without being caught. by the time the sun starts to rise, viviana is crying no longer, and she knows what she must do.
IT’S NOT ENOUGH.
she sits behind the king and queen and princes with vienna at her side during the queenstrial, her hands balled into fists in her lap the entire time she’s forced to suffer through it. she’s actually grateful when the red girl crashes onto the field --- livewire, she and vienna and gabriel call her, because lightning girl is hardly clever --- because it gives her an opportunity to escape.
despite several requests from the king, viviana does not come out of her room again. she will not sit politely by while cal proposes to evangeline. the king thinks she’s so powerful, but what does a burner know of power ? true power is being able to turn anyone into your own puppet.
she had never more wished for vienna’s ability to blow things up than that night she spent pacing the length of her suite, gabriel watching her silently from the bed until vienna re - joins them after the event and the two speak in hushed whispers as she paces. this is the first time they fear her.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAVE HIM.
she’s forced to stand by and watch the love of her life fall in love with another woman, with the red girl with silver abilities. she gets to see every side of their romance as she plans her marriage to ptolemos samos, as cal’s child grows in her stomach. luckily, they’re able to pull the wedding off quick enough that no one asked questions when she announced her pregnancy only weeks later.
she settles into a routine of avoiding cal and mare and their thoughts, but one day she slips up. she gets too close to livewire, and it all unfolds before her: the midnight dance lessons, the stolen moments, the kiss. viviana watches that kiss play over and over in her mind, her own personal hell.
she breaks into her new suite in a run, surprising her new husband, and she makes a beeline for the bathroom. she’ll later learn that getting sick when she’s upset is a habit of hers. ❝ --- viviana ? is it the baby ? should i get a healer ? ❞ ptolemos worries over her, hands on her shoulders. instead of ignoring him or pushing him away, she actually leans into his touch, his support.
YOU CAN LOVE HIM, BUT YOU CAN’T KEEP HIM.
elara drags them out of her suite to stand by their new king for cal and mare’s execution. viviana stands tall, ptolemos on one side of her and vienna on the other. maven told the deluca girls that if they got through this, if they proved their loyalty, he would make them princesses in his court.
viviana cradles her stomach the entire time, as if trying to shield her unborn baby from the horrors about to befall his birth father down in the pit. she shouldn’t be surprised when cal and mare fight back, but she is, though she carefully keeps her face free of any expression. she doesn’t let herself hope for their survival because no one survives this. but then. . . then, somehow, they do.
in the commotion the follows, viviana reaches out to find cal’s mind just in reach, but he’s moving away fast, and the guards are pulling her and vienna away. this is it, viviana. these are possibly probably the last words you’ll ever speak to him. what do you say ? cal! cal, it’s your baby!
TARA GOLD: people tell me i have a unique way of lighting up a room. EMERY STONE: it’s called arson and those are witnesses.

VIVIANA DELUCA’S COLLECTION OF FANTASTICAL FAE BEASTS:
aviatress, a winged guardian panther and viviana’s familiar. aviatress has been with viviana ever since she can remember. the panther is strong and silent, always carefully watching over her sometimes chaotic faerie. she doesn’t like many creatures, faerie or otherwise, besides viviana, but she has always had a soft spot for vienna, and aeryn gets her silent approval after some time. aviatress started growing horns when viviana did, and they seem to grow as hers do.
gallant, a pegasus given to her by her first love, alexander. gallant is noble and strong and there could not be a more accurate name for him. he’s viviana’s escape from the world. when it all gets to be too much, viviana climbs atop gallant’s back and they soar as high into the skies as they can go. viviana enjoys riding him through the untamed wilderness of the unseelie court, too.
thora, a cat sith that’s always just seemed to be around. thora is mischievous and tricky, getting enjoyment out of pranking others and causing chaos. she seems to represent viviana’s more destructive side, while aviatress represents her regal, queenly side.
