Drabble prompt: Frey teaching Olevia how to ice skate :)

we're doing full-on Olevia Lives!AU because i said so. Frey rushed off to deal with Sila and only thought Olevia was gone, came back to find her healed and healthy. i love playing God in this way. this one got a little bit away from me

Olevia watched Frey, doubt twisting her features adorably. Frey felt a little like she was looking at herself as she had been at that age. She held out her hand to the girl, careful not to slip on the ice. "Would you just trust me?" she asked. She had been cajoling, wheedling, all but begging for damn near 20 minutes and all she had to show for it was Olevia standing at the very edge of the frozen pond.

"What if I fall in?" Olevia asked for the tenth time.

"I'll rescue you."

"What if you fall in?"

"Then I guess you'll need a new Tanta," she teased, laughing outright when Olevia put her fists on her hips.

"Stop tormenting the child," Cuff chided but sounded amused himself.

Frey reached out her hand again. Olevia, her mouth still pursed with anxiety, reached back. She closed her eyes when her skates hit ice, clinging fiercely to Frey's fingers. "Well, you didn't fall immediately so you're doing better than I did at first," Frey told her and Olevia hesitantly opened her eyes. "Look at you, standing on frozen water with knives on your feet. Brave girl."

"I'm not brave, I'm still scared," she said, flinging her arms out for Frey's shoulders when her feet slipped further apart.

"Being brave doesn't mean not being scared. Hell, I'm terrified all the time. But you can always know that I've got your back. I'm here for when you get scared. I can't do everything for you but I can make it just a little bit easier."

"Ok…" Olevia took a deep breath. "Can I try moving? But slow."

Frey wasn't particularly good at skating backwards so slow was fine with her as Olevia got used to sliding her feet over the ice. As they moved, she told Olevia how she had learned to skate, though she didn't really bother to explain YMCA or Big Brothers Big Sisters, only that she had learned from an older girl who had held her hands just like this. "I started with a chair," she said. "First time I fell, I tried to catch myself on the chair and just pulled it down on top of me. Ended up with a bruise on my hip from the ice and another one on my arm from the chair." Olevia giggled, looking as relaxed as Frey had seen her all day.

"My ankles hurt," she said eventually. "Can we sit down?"

Frey led her over to the snow-covered shore, both of them sitting down heavily. "When we get home, you'll need dry clothes. Auden will murder me if you get pneumonia on my watch."

"I can help you be brave against Auden," Olevia said, grinning at her. "I know you're scared of her."

"Oh, ha ha. You're so funny."

Frey looked over the pale expanse of ice. It likely wouldn't last and she would be leaving in a few days to head back to Visoria, looking for a needle in the stack of needles that was Olas's library. There had to be some way to fix the Break. There had to be some way she could let Olevia see life outside of Cipal.

She startled when Olevia slipped freezing fingers into her own.

"Who helps you be brave?" the girl asked quietly. "When you're out there alone? When you're in the Corruption?"

That was both a difficult question and a very easy one. "I…" Frey started and then sighed. "I don't feel alone out there. I always feel like… like someone has my back like I have yours. And I know that you and Auden are here, safe, and taking care of each other so I don't have to worry about you."

"Who has your back?" Olevia looked up at her with guileless eyes. "Someone keeps you safe?"

It was getting harder and harder to keep this secret from her, especially since the girl had moved in with her and both of them had relocated to an actual home, not a hole-studded room above the tavern. Frey was building a life now and the secrets were starting to get to her. But once she let this particular cat out of the bag, she wasn't sure where it would jump. "It's complicated. I'm not sure how to explain it to you yet."

"But you will?"

"I promise. I'm not going anywhere. I'll figure it out."

"Good." Olevia flung an arm around Frey's middle. "Can I take these off now?"

Frey laughed, something she had been doing more and more of lately. "Yeah, kiddo. Let's get you home."

Later that night, after Olevia had fallen asleep at the table and Frey had carried her to bed, Cuff nudged her, light tripping over his surface in a way that she still found deeply beautiful. "You're going to tell her about me, aren't you?"

"I don't think I can avoid it for much longer."

"Do you think that's a good idea?"

Frey sighed heavily, leaning back in her chair. "I don't know. All I know is that it's getting harder to keep them separate, the life I have with you out there and the life I have with her here. They're crashing together and there's not a whole lot I can do to stop it."

"And you think that telling her will limit the fallout?"

"I don't know. I don't have any answers for you."

"What if she tells people?"

"I don't know," Frey said, running agitated hands through her hair. "Fuck. I don't know how to do this." She shook her head. "I keep thinking about my mom. About her sending me away to keep me safe. There's nowhere for me to send Olevia."

"To keep her safe from me, you mean," Cuff said simply, flatly, but something in his tone caught her.

"You're a threat to all Athia, remember? That's what you keep telling me. Why should one girl stop you?"

She felt a bolt of something, as sudden and painful as a lightning strike, through the bond and then it was gone, the connection between them slammed firmly shut.

"You're right. What's one girl in the face of duty and responsibility?"

"Everything," Frey told him and something in him answered in kind.

Trick or treat!: coffee/pastry shop after dark

(Thank you and Happy Halloween!)

Treats!

Person A realizes  too late that all their handful of employees called off for Halloween, and  now they have to run their coffee/pastry shop’s night shift alone. It luckily  proves to be a quiet night, until Person  B, someone with blood on their clothes, comes in, and Person A thinks it’s a costume, but  starts to get suspicious when a cop car passes by and Person B hides under a table.

Person A realizes  too late that all their handful of employees called off for Halloween, and  now they have to run their coffee/pastry shop’s night shift alone. It luckily  proves to be a quiet night, except for Person  B, a single customer who came in looking sad, in a clearly time consuming  costume, and began to consume a dangerous amount of pumpkin pastries and pumpkin  spice lattes.

Person A is the  sole staff member on duty for Halloween night shift at the café they work at.  People keep coming by and trying to get free pastries because of Halloween,  so when Person B comes in and actually  has a real order for them, they’re relieved.

Person A  dislikes Halloween due to being an actual supernatural creature and really  wanted to avoid people in costumes, so goes to their local pastry shop for  the evening, where Person B works.  But when Person B starts getting  bugged by people trying to get free pastries, Person A, irritated already, tells them off since Person B can’t.

Person A runs  a small café staffed by supernatural creatures, and on Halloween, lets  everyone lose their human disguises for the night. A strangers, Person B, stops by during the night and  starts asking strangely suspicious questions about their ‘costumes’. Turns  out Person B is a hunter.

Person A is  working the night shift on Halloween at their job, the local café, all by themself,  and doesn’t think much of supernatural stories, until they realize their only  customer, who has been there for hours, is very not human. AndPerson A might not be able tosurvive their shift.

Tricks!

Person A  always works the night shift at their local café, which Person B, another employee finds weird, and goes about trying to  prove Person A is a vampire (turns  out to be for another reason, like they’re a college student who takes  classes during the day).

Person A is  working the night shift for the first time with Person B, who usually works the night shift, the two employees  have never met, and Person B is  completely relaxed while Person A  freaks out over every little weird occurrence.

For that shipping meme: 5, 26, and 37 please? :3 💜

5) Do you have any poly ships?

A couple KH ones (SoRiKai, although not to the degree I used to, and Terra/Cinderella/Aqua). I also ship Will/Tessa/Jem from The Infernal Devices.

26) Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to?

Yes and these dynamics have changed as time has gone on too. A lot of my older ships tend to be a lot more wholesome and more of what the canon was pointing to with no other real reason than that. But probably around 2017 I definitely started getting into like the stuff below.

My biggest number one trope is enemies to lovers. If you throw me two characters on opposing sides and give them more than one interaction or even just a romantic fanfic. I will probably ship them. Like off the top of my head I fell down Lotura, Shuake, RumBelle, Xehaqus, Ferrishwheelshipping, Vanqua. All of these are enemies to lovers two hundred percent. 

Otherwise, frequently they involve my favorite character if they don’t fall into these lists. (i.e. GulAva, Victuuri, Masriel is this even if it falls into a distorted version of the above as well) or the self insert protagonist getting shipped with the character in my first playthrough (Chrobin, Claudeleth, AkiHam.)

...Or tragedy. If at least one person in my ship doesn’t die it’s a rarity. Like this isn’t an exaggeration I have at least four ships between rp and canon stuff that involves an immortal and their mortal partner and who knows how many where one half of the ship has to either temporarily or permanently die to protect their loved ones.

37) Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP?

Hi my name is Heather and I am absolutely weak to the following tropes:

I started dating you mostly out of convenience/fake dating but “OH SHIT OH FUCK I CAUGHT FEELINGS”

Anything tied to enemies to lovers I’m not joking I love this trope so much I cry

I’m also weak for starcrossed lovers. Two people who love each other but it seems like the world is conpiring against them.

Unfortunately I can’t get more specific than that because my OTP of OTPs has no fanfiction (SPM fans write more Timpani/Blumiere challenge and yes I’m calling myself out on this too) and the ship I’m super into right now ALSO has a fanfiction archive of under one hundred fics.

Why do I do this to myself?

I’m suffering.
