Silva✨️ (On Vacation 9/28-10/6)

Bless my friends letting me be feral about Hien in DMs 😂

Holle, a male xaela au ra, sits in a pool of water, facing away from the viewer. He has dark blue skin and marble scales. Hien, standing to the side of him, leans in to kiss the top of his head.

I've never understood being territorial with an NPC as far as shipping goes. the "I'm the ONLY person who can ship with this NPC and I can be rude and nasty to others over it" makes no fucking sense to me and is honestly so incredibly immature its baffling lol

Just smth I was thinking abt tbh

He looks SO GOOD it's ridiculous

Maybe I tempt fate today and write about blorbos in the car once we start driving again. I need Silva kissing and loving on Ricmorn and Hien because they're dumb, adorable idiots in love 💜

And by tempting fate I mean seeing if it triggers my motion sickness LOL

Hien art makes my fucking day every single time, I sweeeaaaaarrrrr

Running on 4 hours of terrible sleep, time to think about Hien/Silva/Ricmorn thoughts to get through another long day of driving toward home 😔

With that said... I will start responding to messages and things tomorrow and slowly returning to unhinged yapping on here. I'm not purposely ignoring anyone, i promise. My brain needs a day to get out of vacation mode, but I will get back to those who have messaged/reached out to me soon!!!

Made it back to Miami safely!!! Will be starting the 22 hour drive back hone once the rest of our party has gathered and food/coffee has been bought.

Getting off a cruise ship at 7:30am is a crime. I'm so tired 🫠

Popping on briefly because my connection is spotty as hell in the Caribbean, BUT vacation has been so much fun so far!!! I've done so much I never thought I would do before and it's been amazing!!! I'm going to be sad once we return to port on Monday 😭

Can't wait to share some pictures soon!!!

Yeeeeeessss, it's great -- I hope you're having a good time being out and getting some fresh air and sun!!! (Vacation has been a BLAST so far, even though I'm a little more sunburnt than I'd like, haha!)

Ended up taking the mac and cheese back with me because I couldn't finish it all 😂 It was a great dinner!!!

A fruity cocktail with a fun little umbrella, lemon wedge, and two dark cherries as decorations.

Crispy skin red snapper with white rice and house made fries.

Creamy mac and cheese with toasted bread crumbs and crispy bacon pieces.

Hubby and I just got done with the BEST dinner of our lives. WOW!!!

Huge mood right now 😭

Theeeeeem!!! 😍

Wanna yap about Hien/Silva/Ricmorn things before I disappear for a week tomorrow, but I haven't had a moment to like really sit down and BREATHE yet 😭

And the two times that I have been able to sit down and relax, it was to SLEEP

Hien, Lysander, and Aymeric stroll through Old Sharlayan on a sunny day, chatting and smiling. Aymeric and Lysander hold hands while Lysander seems to say something to Hien with a hand on his shoulder. (And behind them, a passing forum member looks back at them with a scowl on his face)

i need a gpose tag so i don't have to think of captions

THEM!!!

So… this was the missing young Lord of Doma. The one Yugiri talked about so often when they were children living in Sui-no-Sato, and when providing her and their fellow Domans a safe space to live back in Eorzea after the failed rebellion. Whose letters made her pale green eyes light up when she would tell Silva about them. The very same man that Gosetsu hoped and prayed they would find to drag back home for a second chance at freedom. The way he crumbled to his knees and bowed his head, choked with emotion as he addressed him, was still so fresh in her mind. And they welcomed each other with kind greetings and open arms, almost as if they hadn't been apart for three years. It was a homecoming that those three needed, but also didn't expect. Not entirely. It wasn't one the Auri Warrior of Light expected either. Seeing Hien Rijin alive and whole after being presumed dead for so long seemed as if the gods and kami had their hands in his tale. Their reunion brought her joy, yet it also made her heart ache — a dull pain behind her ribs. There weren't many people who were as fortunate as they were, especially those from Doma. Silva was one of them. She would never see her parents or the woman who became her aunt ever again, a fact that haunted her all these years later. And even now, returning to her homeland after fourteen years hasn't been easy. She forced the thought aside — it had no place here. And as the prince and his two retainers stood several yalms away for a private discussion of their next steps — or perhaps to make certain this meeting was real — Silva couldn't help but watch.

The corners of his eyes crinkled when a cheerful smile lit up his face. How his broad shoulders and chest shook with belly-deep laughter at hearing something his old mentor said. More importantly, she noticed how the sound seemed to both his retainers at ease. Something so simple yet made her lips curve into a smile. He gave Gosetsu and Yugiri equal attention and a chance to speak. Silva found it difficult not to laugh as her eyes caught his hands at his side and on the hilt of his katana twitch — to use them while they talked. What an interesting quick for the two of them to share… she thought to herself. (Though even if she kept her hands still, her tail never failed to give herself and her emotions away.) Had he done that during their introduction? But she also saw his lips dip into a frown. There was a muscle in his jaw that ticked every time something said bothered him, the fingers on his left hand curling tighter around his blade. How his expression would harden and his stance would shift. And how the look would soften just ever so slightly when his gaze flicked over and lingered on her for several heartbeats before looking away. The gold flecks in his peridot orbs shimmered in the sun. Four times now, she counted. She would be lying if she didn't admit that each glance made her breath catch or her heart leap into her throat. If it didn't fill her belly with butterflies.

I won't have the first prompt for #WoLHienWeek2025 done in time before AO3 goes down later AND me leaving tomorrow night. So, have a little snippet from what I've written so far instead!!! 💜

(Please note this is very rough/full of mistakes, and may look different later!!!)

Silva cleared her throat. “You can ask about them if you’d like, Hien. I do not mind, really. I understand you have an idea of what the story behind them is, that Ricmorn has told you some things. It would be impossible for me to blame you for the questions you have about it." She faced forward again, her gaze falling on the wrinkled blanket covering the front of her body. The silk was soft under her fingers. "And… I'm not blind to the fact you would have seen my scars in all their glory — one way or another. I'm glad it's happening.” Yes, it was better to see them like this now instead of being intimate with each other when they were ready to cross that line. That would have been far more embarrassing — far more vulnerable. Or if she would have gotten past it if it had happened that way. She didn't think she would… A few seconds of silence passed before he muttered. "To think you would honor me with that…" Silva thought it was ridiculous and sweet how his soft words made her breath hitch. "Who says you weren't worthy from the start?" she half-laughed. The Doman king would be lying to himself to say that he wasn’t curious about their story — her story. To know a part of Silva that she kept hidden. So they could be closer. Everything she said was true. He had seen small glimpses of the faded edges peeking out from any gear that exposed parts of her upper back and shoulders. Where two of the slashes began and ended, but nothing of what may lie in between them. Their shapes and outlines were always up to his imagination. (Or how smaller blemishes covered her back like pale freckles — like tiny stars — thanks to their proximity to each other.)

The first time he remembered them was during the Naadam when they fought the Garleans, fighting together with their Xaela allies to defend the Steppe. Another time, her uncle gifted her dancer garb and her mother's chakrams, and she danced, spinning and leaping. Then it was when they were building their beloved garden behind his home. Silva wore loose, breathable clothing in the scorching sun as she worked, tending to vibrant flora, rich, dark soil, and heavy stone with care. Each shift of cloth revealed more and more to him. In the moments of silence, as they watched the starry heavens above them, side by side, his hand on her back and knowing what was underneath the thin tank tops she wore to bed — moments where their love grew and grew. Where the gravity between them was almost impossible to ignore. He saw them as pieces of a puzzle of the woman he deeply cared for and cherished. But still, he never pried the tale from her lips. Still waited. And when they became a couple, Hien saw more of the scars when she wore loose clothing in the evenings while they spent time together. Kami— he almost saw all of her scars in their entirety when they got somewhat carried away in the heat of the moment after agreeing to court. But he knew what little Ricmorn had shared with him in private when he first asked, his intrigue getting the better of him. It was a very sensitive subject for both of them to talk about openly, and he respected their privacy. He still refused to pressure for more. For Silva to be comfortable around him and have an open conversation about it now… A chance for him to tend to them intimately for the first time was an enormous step for the Auri woman in front of him and their relatively new relationship. Great pride and love for her filled his heart for how she trusted him with something like this. Hien wouldn't squander the opportunity Silva offered.

Here's this section from my rewrite of "Scars and Sunshine" I meant to post the other day!!!
