" I suppose I did love you once, too far back in time in to even matter now, if not for some deflected queens." She allowed at last, letting her shoulders drop in a shrugging motion as if was no more than mere weather talk.
"You-"
" Deflected?" Iris squinted her eyes behind the glasses.
"Queen! One Queen! The other is a queen consort! " the 'king' took no time to point out. "And how does this matter in searching for them anyway. He turned to the tracker observing them with her lips pursed.
"Seriously?! You? the ice queen? You loved me?!! Like Love love" The other girl got in before she was interrupted by,
"Are we quite sure deflected is the right word right now?"
"And why the fuck does their sappy saphic ballad matter here?"
The tracker, who had asked the question, was still watching with serious looking eyes, " Perhaps, it doesn't. But," Her face broke into a huge grin then, eyes bright now and put up her finger. "These two would be soo cute together, even their names go together, Elli and Aine, Elliaine. Ah, You can name your child that!" She was almost squealing in delight at the prospect when she finished.
"They can't have a child, they are both girls." The king—oh, my mistake forgive me, the 'king' being his usual infuriating self did not disappoint.
"oh, sod off. " This was the tracker, Lelia.
"Elliaine, is my name."
" Well, you should shouldn't be using Elli then, it literally means Old, I didn't say anything cause I thought it'd be rude. And work on your grammar, deflected does not fit—."
"Shut up, Iris, no one cares." The 'King', whose name I forgot because my constant need to mock his title, snapped, " And You!" He turned to Leila, " Do your fucking job and find the goddamn Queens, Queen! One Queen!."
" Oh, no no." She replied, making sure to dramatize her every movement, "I can't do that, because you see, I'm just here to stall you till they got far enough away."
A tence silence hung unbroken in the air. Well, unbroken until someone proclaimed, "Defected! The word is defected!" And the 'king' shouted for the guards.
"Throw her in the dungeons!" He roared to the bowing guards.
They stood there for a moment, unable to decide if he had the authority to imprison the queen's dear friend.
He fumed even redder {Purple more like if we being honest} a feat previously thought impossible, "By king Ophion's orders!" Ah, Ophion, that was his name.
He was far too busy angrily whispering with Elli, his least detested member of his and the queen's council, to see Leila smile as she was led down.
Two freed, one to go.
And she was already on the way to her.

I found a new trope and I'm high on it. Hear me out. Grumpy bad character gets stuck with sunshine character in his property or company or whatever. And it predictably leads to bonding moments™ like sitting huddled together and talking about random things or sunshine grabbing grumpy's hand to guide them around in the darkness, or opening up about their pasts or just playing their favourite music whatever.
But here's the kicker, after they're out and grumpy's assistant is like reporting to them like, " I'll fire them all duh, because you're big bad grumpy blah blah" and they just do this smitten little secretive smile and be like "Naw, it's fine" or alternatively they start coughing and try to be nonchalant about it like 'it's whatever, I don't mind, you can let them go'
And the assistant is like *shocked pikachu face* 😲
"And one day I realised all I could do was give up and lay down, let it go. Or," They talked like they were stripping. Taking of their layers and showing them the ruined city beneath, daring almost pleading for them to run away from her darkness. "Destroy their dreams as finely as they did mine. Make the stars combust and become something so destruction that I laugh as their cities are blown away by burning starlight falling from the sky. I think my body had become too cold and numb for real fury, so that I decided," she looked up at them, regretful but also... defiant, andry. "To let fire speak for me. Because justice darling" cynically they ended "was never an option. "
I hate archetypes but I simp so hard for characters who absolutely are archetypes but like multiple opposite ones stuffed together like my characters include-
A hopeless romantic princess with a minor addiction to pink that you would literally never see without multiple swords at her waist and no one bats an eye at it.
A gruff mean political/ war tactician princess who can absolutely sucks at swordplay (she says it's cause of her power, only partially true) literally feel everyone pain/sadness and a little obsessed with saving everyone (and totally oblivious that literally bring kind to them would do that)
An exiled princess who loves reading and traveling is literally one of the best people who also does dark magic and and casually tries to wake a literal wmd beast

The stage between enemies and lovers where they VEHEMENTLY deny their feelings is appreciated a lot, but it still deserves more appreciation like who thought like :/ so these two people okay? And get this they hate each other, kay? But, and here's where it gets crazy they start having FEELINGS for each other! And they do not want to!! Crazy! ;/ Like who thought a person just failing so badly at insulting thier crush will be the funniest shit ever?! AND THEY WERE RIGHT!!
The internal monologue is just like
"look at them humming to themselves! Aww—! Like an idiot! Foolish!! Disgusting shit!!!"
"I wanna do things to them... I mean Violence! Murder! That's what I wanna do, target practice, fish bait!... And now I'm talking to myself "

The pushing them away was designed to be such a can't go wrong with it trope it's honestly impressive how wrong twilight managed to go with it.
The 'im afraid whatever I can give them is just a cheap imitation of love and they deserve so much better than that' SLAps
The 'my entire life is walking on eggshells and they should get to live their lives to the fullest'
The screaming confessions in the rain like 'if you really love me you should know that being with you is what I want and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to do that,' ahHh
It's meant to show how deeply they care about each other and how much they're willing to sacrifice for each other but Hollywood really went no, commitment issues haha

What's your headcanon of how your enemies to lovers ship react to their child asking them how they met?
Would they share a 'and I oop' look and just tell them, "We met at a, uh, a coffee shop honey." "Yup, that's all, the rest is history."
Or would they passively aggressively try to one up each other, rapidly spinning out of control. "We were friends for a really long time—"
"Until they disappeared for years without any contact and only turned up as the leader of our enemies—"
"And so they tried to kill me a couple of hundred times, as you do."
"You did that too!!" "Not nearly as much as you" " Did too!!" "Did not!!"
Or would they just raise chaos children who already know everything and run around in their old costumes and are choosing weather they'll be a hero or villain.
Or would they just sit them down when they're old enough to have the talk but it's just how most of their adopted aunts and uncles and other people that come over for every Sunday barbecue including their parents were criminals/ war criminals.

The hero has been kidnapped by the villain. Problem is instead of being afraid, the nerdy hero is just really excited by the shiny gadgets around villains lab. Now, the villain has to jump around trying to catch the hero while hero keeps evading them and pointing at objects asking about what evil scheme they'll use them for. (So far they pointed at two death rays, a particle accelerator, a pencil sharpener and others)

Peak himbo/herbo/thembo energy in the trope of "being sure your enemy has crush on when they absolutely definitely 100% don't"+ making more and more ridiculous reasons to believe they do.
Villain-: Did you see how red they were when they saw me!! They are sooo smitten.
Overworked henchmen-: could be cause they had chase you on rooftops across half the city but *shrugs*
Villain-: they literally turned the city upside down to find me! They missed me so much. Ahhh
Henchmen- I mean you were holding people hostage but what do I know.
V-: They love watching me work. They were in my lab the entire day yesterday.
H-: You literally kidnapped them but sure.
This trope is my drug.
So close to 100follows. Pls help
