@shefleur,  ⭐️⭐️⭐️

i.  christine loves to dance the maypole with dani!! she practically begged her to teach her how to do it, and she caught on in no time! she also is really, reaaaally good at helping the other girls bake pies and sweets within the hårga!! i feel like she and maja would get along, too—

ii.  christine makes dani so. many. flower. crowns. just absolutely litters her in them. daisy chains, wreaths, necklaces, bracelets! christine coming back from the hårga just walks around the theater with petals continuously falling out of her curls and skirts and everyone is like what the shit

iii.  dani makes christine question her faith, but in.. sort of a good way? there must be a god, for how else would she have met such an ethereal being who watches over her and cares for her so? she also includes dani in her nightly prayers, i feel like.. she’s so happy to have met her..

her presence consumes him.  deft fingers fly across the keys; a flurry of notes trickling throughout the stagnant air, perhaps calling her forth, perhaps entwining the two. red string covets him, keeps him, tethering him to her! she moves like a shadow, so serene, awash in candlelight. death longs for life. life, fawn-eyed and heartfelt!

he is undeserving, he thinks, as he catches her gaze. his hands pause in their movement / a catch of breath, something dark within shrouding! the ghost is selfish enough to allow himself this moment, sealing it away within the thudding cavern of his chest.

❝ i could play another piece, if you’d like. ❞  murmured, tongue as if it was made from lead. his hands rest just above the organ.

her heart aflutter, so taken!  a mischievous smile and furtive glance follows. will you steal me away again, my dear ghost? my lovely spectre, my guardian angel! hands clasp to hers, soft, gently tangling in the night. petal tiers part, a hymn upon them,

❝ i’d like to sing for you. ❞  swell of cheek becomes flushed, the sweetest flesh of a ripened peach! umber curls are not unlike a halo, tossed about her head and nightdress.  ❝ there’s much i’d do for you, you know. ❞

@shefleur​,  ❛❛ did you think that I had left you for good? ❜❜

hesitation clings to him like a second skin.  she could never be so cruel. not to him, not to anyone; clad in love and light, all matter of life leaning forth to be blessed by her touch. he, too, longs for such. 

breath catches in his throat / stilled, silent, and she graces all of the opera populaire with her presence once more. she is too gentle, he thinks, her tapered fingers teasing the jut of his chin, his jaw. his teeth clench instinctively, then he relaxes.  ❝ i find myself wondering, ❞  mused, drawn out of him with a sigh,  ❝ but you always return. ❞

@shefleur.  the queen o’ may,

the forest shrouds her.  small frame is engulfed by the sea of trees,  the whisper on the wind & the grit of dirt threatening to settle deeply.  it breathes: how willowy limbs bend & wave,  touching,  reaching,  soaring as she did to get here.  her child is not far off; he screeches his farewell against the clouds & goes off in search of the hunt.

in turn,  the dragon king treads.  damp soil collects at her heels,  cushioning light footfalls as she traverses the unfamiliar landscape.  something tethers maiden here.  a sweet call from the earth?  voices deep from within the ground,  cavernous & melodious with their incessant message?  she dares not look back as the darkness draws close.  lungs feel fit to burst as a sharp breath is drawn.

a twig snaps under her foot.  just like that,  the forest has eyes upon her.  seizing.  ❝  i wanted to plant trees,  my lady.  to water them & watch them grow.  i was a girl.  ❞
