natural habitats

(Rated G, 1.1k, 1/1 chapters, Ravchess/Applechess)

If the crowds were unwelcoming before, they’re just about hostile now. The cliques are so tightly knit there is no point trying to climb through one of the holes. She searches for an opening for just another moment before giving up her pathetic attempt to adapt and slipping into the auditorium girls’ bathroom.

It’s empty, and she’s grateful. Her natural habitat — the only place in which she really belongs — is a room alone. She looks in the mirror, hands planted on either side of the sink. She’s scrutinizing herself, checking her features for the things that make her stand apart.

Angular jaw. Large brow ridge. Defined chin. She traces the bridge of her nose with her finger. She wonders how much of this Apple takes note of when they speak.

Ravchess fic :)

The setting sun danced across the water, reflecting on the leaves of a nearby willow, turning the ordinary tree into a glittering cove. Duchess swam to the waters edge under the tree and transformed back into her human self, not even waiting to reach the shore. She lugged herself onto the plush grass, soaked and softly sniffling. She held her knees to her chest trying to warm herself and watched the water ripple out from where she had just vacated. She had just been in a terrible fight with Sparrow, he seemed to find it amusing to taunt her about her destiny whenever he was losing an argument. Knowing how sensitive Duchess is about the subject and how it drives her insane to be reminded of what's to become of her. She choked back a sob throwing her head back on the bark of the willow, she heard footsteps, her eyes widened.

“Is someone there?” it was Raven, just what she needed.

“Please don’t come any closer,” Duchess called out, her voice strained, she quickly wiped her face trying to get rid of any evidence of her vulnerability. She looked down at her hands, covered in mascara, she cursed under her breath. She could hear Raven's footsteps hesitantly approaching, they seemed to stop on the other side of the tree. A soft plop, she had sat down, “Do you want to talk about it?” came her voice in a much softer tone. Damn it, Duchess thought, she knew she had been crying. She took a deep breath in. 

“Sparrow and I had a fight,” This obviously wasn’t a big revelation as this happened quite often, everyone knew how Sparrow and Duchess were. She was comfortable sharing that much at least, knowing it was common knowledge. She didn’t have to go into much detail then. 

“Did he bring up your destiny again?” Duchess held her breath, that was a yes. She heard shuffling and opened her eyes to see Raven in front of her. Duchess stood up abruptly, Raven didn’t move, her eyes trained on Duchess’s own. “You don’t have to stay with him, you know, there are other people at this school who could appreciate you much more.” This caused her to scoff, as if someone would want the bird girl with a shitty destiny and no future. In Ravens eyes she could see what looked like pity and another emotion she couldn’t quite pinpoint. 

“Do not mock me, Raven, not when you have the perfect life lined up for you and you deny it.” 

“You know that was not my intention,”

“Then what was your intention Raven Queen? You know you are so lucky and you don’t even appreciate it. Always parading around that you chose not to follow your destiny when others would kill for it. When I would kill for it.” Raven looked up at her, that other emotion swirling in her irises, she reached up and softly grasped Duchess’s hand. Duchess wanted to pull away but couldn’t bring herself to, a blush crept up her cheeks as she remembered their conversation after she “sabotaged” Raven's general villainy assignment. 

“Then you can have it,” Duchess stumbled back into the trunk of the tree. Her heart rate picked up speed until it was galloping, so loud and overcoming she could feel it in her ears.

“E- Excuse me?”

  “I said you can have it Duchess Swan, if you think it will make you happy it’s yours,”

HIIIII can u yap abt ravchess they intrigue me and I wanna know more abt ur thought process behind shipping them :3333

This is truly only from the general villainy book but the way Raven treats Duchess is just so kind. And ofc ik Raven is a kind person in general but her noticing the little things about Duchess adds to their dynamic for me. As Duchess says no one else was able to distinguish her from the other swans. Also their both bird girls !! And >:]

and an alternative from SPARROW who is my biggest opp, he doesn't know it but we have insane issues with each other
