Sooo I'm back again with a new chapter for the story, and a new bunch of excuses for always taking so long for an update, but I'm always so torn whether I should put this thing in, or do that, or take that away, or or or -and probably also get my beta readers annoyed of fed up with it . -

On the bright side, some good news, the epileptic attacks seem to have lessened, for the past weeks I've only felt a few nauseous moments or times that I shiver uncontrollably etc., so it's an improvement^^
For the people who are like, dafuq are you sharing this bullshit with us, sorry xD Just felt like saying for the few people who are perhaps a little concerned about my epileptic state and more so, the way it's affecting the story x)

I can keep talking nonsense like that, but I'll only mention one more thing!:D

/playlist?list=PLJBuVBVOlty6XNqfqM_ewThQ1n0p-UET0

This is the playlist I made/listen to mostly when I'm writing, if there are people interested in what kind of music I link to the story^^ For those who are, I'd like you to take a look on the right side of the songs in the list, there in the notes are the "titles" I'd give the songs if they would be in an actual score for the song, I'd like to know what you think of it if you do :D

/watch?v=bIvTQ4YQ1nU&list=PLJBuVBVOlty6XNqfqM_ewThQ1n0p-UET0&index=26

More specific, this is the song I played on repeat while writing parts of this story, and therefor it also has a specific "title" in the list:3 I thought, I'll just mention it, who knows there are people who like music as much as me^-^

Owards, if you liked the chapter, you can also drop a review or a pm if you want to ask something, I don't know, it always gives my drive to write a boost, seeing the feedback that people are really enjoying my story^^

Have a good read!


'Thank You...For Accepting Me...'

...

As the evening continued, Ellie managed to get their minds off the somber news concerning Hayden's scar for a bit with her very active and oddly contagious optimism.

'Can't we keep the the thing on a leash the next time she tries to go for some more dessert?' Zyra sighed when she noticed Ellie had managed to sneak away and get herself another portion of jelly pudding.

'Awww, Zyra, I especially brought some along for you...' the shorter young woman innocently smiled, indeed holding up a plate with a scoop of the by now infamous pudding on it.

'Try to get that near my mouth and I'll feed you the fruit my kind used for torture.' the addressed woman curtly responded, her eyes flaring in a yellow hue for a second.

'Then I'll eat it myself, more sugar for me...' Ellie gleefully said, neatly placing Zyra in a dilemma of tasting the "disfigured apples" or giving Ellie even more energy. The brown haired girl noticed it and purposely slowed down her first bite to give the woman the chance of changing her mind. Zyra sighed and gave her a bored look.

'Do you really think I'll go along with such a childish ac-'

-'I'll take it!' Vi quickly said, using the suspense between the two other women and their surprise to jump up and take the plate from Ellie's hands. The Enforcer then contently sat down again, the green, gooey dessert now in her possession. Ellie, robbed from her beloved pudding, just sat there for a moment, mouth slightly open in surprise, but then started to laugh, accepting her defeat. And just like her optimism, her laugh was evenly infectious after the long evening of relaxing. Soon after, Riven, sitting next to her, had to hold her hand over her own mouth to restrain herself, while Zyra already started to laugh from the beginning, seeing Ellie flatly being denied both her plan and her pudding. Opposite of them, Vi was eating her newly obtained dessert with her eyes closed and a satisfied smirk on her face. Ezreal, who had managed to get a spoon of his own, took the chance to take away a bit of the pudding every once between some of Vi's bites when she was savouring a scoop with her eyes closed, not suspecting anything, like now. Hayden just held his hand against his head at seeing both the crimson and the brown haired women in front of him, and even Elise showed a small smirk of amusement at the whole display.

One thing that certainly made Zyra laugh in victory another time was the fact that Ellie really had a typical sugar rush, once the few hours of hyperactivity were over, the girl almost slacked off in her sofa, turning a lot more silent. Elise took the relative repose after Ellie's antics as a good timing to continue their previous questions.

'So, with our share of...energetic entertainment over, what does everyone else think about doing next until the planes fly again?'

-'Well, we did agree with Ellie's idea to go for a swim.' Vi said with a straight face. From her almost completely stretched out position on the sofa, the brunette lazily raised a thumbs up in the air at hearing Vi's comment.

'...You actually are planning to get yourselves to the pool?' Elise smirked, although one eyebrow raised in slight disbelief, certainly aimed at Zyra.

'Like I said, no one forces you to go along...' Ellie languidly mumbled from her seat, dropping her arm again.

'Oh, I will. Seeing you act throughout a normal day, I'd love to see the kind of behaviour you manage to pull off while you're at a pool with all of you together. Providing you get our...battered companions something to get them going as well. Unless they don't care...?' Elise replied, adding a subtle, mocking tone aimed at Riven and Hayden, but moreover at Ellie who firstly suggested the idea without thinking about them. The girl in question lowered her response to a muttered bunch of words, but Riven moved her hand to Ellie's and gave her a soft smile.

'We've said it before, Ellie, it doesn't matter.'

-'But I still forgot...' Ellie mumbled back, suppressing a yawn.

'Relax, it isn't a drama for you to forget something, please...' Hayden added.

'But I like being dramatic...'

Riven softly shook her head at the girl response, holding back a smile.

'Hey Hayden...' Ellie spoke up in between a conversation a while later. The addressed young man turned to her and raised his brows in curiousity.

'What is it?'

-'Could you get us some warm chocolate milk?'

'...Who is this "us"?' Hayden continued, suspicion having replaced the curiousity now.

'Me and Zyra of course...' the girl replied, holding back another yawn.

'What?' Zyra interrupted, hearing her name mentioned by the now almost lethargic girl.

'What?' Ellie returned her interruption, unintentionally even copying the tone of Zyra's voice in her wonder. 'I want warm chocolate milk, and you always want warm chocolate milk, so?'

-'Oh by the gods...I drank the stuff a few times and said I liked it, that doesn't mean I want it twenty-four on the twenty-four!'

Ellie pretended like she didn't hear the redhead's complaint and ticked with her fingers against her cheek.

'Hayden, can you get mine with two lumps of-

-'I'm not going to get you even more sugar.' Hayden resolutely said, making Ellie pull a droopy face.

'You can try that as much as you want, I know you for more than long enough, it won't work anymore...' Hayden smiled.

'Just make sure the thing falls asleep as soon as possible...'

-'When we wanted her to calm down on a trip or something we always gave her a cup o' Camille tea...' Hayden responded, grinning at Ellie's face. 'Come on, you like the taste.'

Ellie pouted and crossed her arms defiantly.

'But that doesn't take away you want to drug me!'

-'You sure sleep soundly...I clearly remember you leaning against the window of the bus, sleeping so peacefully.' the young man remarked. 'Snoring so peacefully...' he continued, lowering his voice to a whisper. Ellie seemed to remember the teasing comments she got about it as well, and it managed to even get her embarrassed, puffing her reddening cheeks and shaking her head. Vi looked up from her dessert and seeing the girl blushing like that made her smile almost compassionate.

'Oh my, cutie, you look so cute I could just punch you right now...' the Enforcer teased, which made Ezreal sigh.

'It's her way to say she could just hug or pinch her right now.' he explained, seeing the surprised faces of the rest.

'I'm waiting for the hug...' Ellie pleaded from her seat, stretching out her arms. Vi grinned and threw herself towards the smaller woman, landing next to her and taking her in a massive hug, making the girl yelp in surprise and joy.

When Elise, who had quietly walked to the bar as soon as she heard "Camille tea", came back, she saw the smallest woman of the group being held in a tight hug by the tallest, and needless to say, it was quite the sight.

'...Did I miss something?' she smirked, lifting one eyebrow.

'Naaaahh...' Vi smiled, releasing the girl from her bear hug and rolled off her, but too lazy to stand up again, deciding this would be her new spot.

'Anyhow...' Elise continued, walking towards the now sitting up straight Ellie, 'Here's your drug, darling.'

Ellie took the cup of tea from the mage's hand and actingly pouted again, aimed at Hayden.

'I'm still mad!'

-'Should we have made it coconut flavour instead?' was his only response, his grin still not faltering. Ellie expression immediately changed her typical bright smile.

'Yeah, that would've been awesome! Then we could drug Riven as well!'

-'Pardon?' Riven's soft voice suddenly sounded, the warrior raising her head from her laid back position at hearing those words.

'Nothing.' Ellie innocently replied, afterwards taking a first sip of the tea in her hands.

Over time, Ellie started to feel the effects of the tea, and, as Hayden had foretold, started to turn more silent and replaced her mocking of Zyra now and then with just yawning, to the please of the crimson haired woman.

When she had been yawning on her seat for almost an hour, Riven had enough of it. She walked up to the brunette and gently lifted her out of the chair.

'Come on, you had your sugar and your tea, now let's get you some rest, sleepyhead...' she softly chuckled.

'Are you going to carry her upstairs, snow white?' Vi grinned. Hearing that, Ellie straightened herself again, almost jumping out of Riven's arms in a quick burst of energy.

'I'm maybe a bit sleepy, but it's not like I can't move anymore!' the young woman quickly responded. The Enforcer laughed and tilted her head, a teasing expression appearing on her face.

'I do remember the last time you were sleepy, though.'

Ellie's cheeks flushed as she too remembered Vi had to carry her out of Elise's forest, and moreover the fact that she had said she wouldn't fall asleep, only to doze off no more than five minutes later.

'Don't worry, cutie, it was so adorable...' Vi teased onwards, seeing Ellie's blush. The girl quickly stuck out her tongue at the grinning Piltoverian before she turned around and walked off alongside Riven.

'Wouldn't they be so lovely together?' the tall woman smiled in their wake, getting a few grins from the others, although there was a hint of honesty lingering in her voice.


'I didn't expect you to even be able to get such a drop in your energy level...is it really the aftereffect of that sugar rush and the tea?' Riven grinned as she unlocked the door to their room and stepped aside to let Ellie in first.

'Hmmmbwah...' the other woman neglectfully answered as she walked in. 'Maybe I'm just getting tired...a little bit. Perhaps.'

The warrior smiled at Ellie's answer, knowing the girl would never admit it. By the time the ex-Noxian had entered and closed the door behind her, Ellie was already at her side of the bed, rummaging through the backpack laying there, throwing something out, pushing another thing in, turning it around, repeating those steps, and so on. It seems she hadn't lost all of her energy yet.

'What...are you doing?' Riven chuckled, curious at seeing her searching through the bag like she lost something vital.

'Just...all these things...can't even...'

-'...Is that how you search for your nightclothes?' the white haired woman continued, the smile on her face growing as she noticed Ellie was looking at all the clothing she found.

'I can't help it they're all the way on the bottom of the bag!' the girl pouted and she was about to turn the thing inside out, but the pout changed to a satisfied smile as she finally found what she was looking for.

'So...you going for the bathroom first or can I?' Riven hesitatingly asked. Ellie smirked as she looked at the former exile with a teasing look in her eyes.

'Why would we need to? We're both girls, right?' she smiled innocently. To this, Riven's cheeks flushed. 'Don't worry, this time I'll remove my own blouse...' the brunette went on, taking the chance to further tease the warrior. 'So, feel free to use the bathroom if you want to shower or change...I'm not going to take the effort to move all my stuff there.' Ellie went on while lifting her blouse over her head. Riven seemed in doubt about something for a bit, but then, to Ellie's surprise, just shrugged and started to change at her side of the bed as well. Ellie grinned when she saw Riven unintentionally glance at her with a slight blush from the corner of her eyes as the girl was taking off her top and her quite ample bosom showed itself, albeit covered in a bra. To her own embarrassment, she caught herself doing the exact same thing when the to her so intriguing bandages on Riven's chest came into view as the former exile took off her t-shirt as well.

'...Took my advice into account and not sleeping bra-less?' Riven smiled, reminding her of the previous time she found Ellie sleeping without a tight top like yesterday. The Exile showed a small blush though, knowing she gave it away that she was looking at the girl undressing like that. Ellie, who was now wearing a loose, slightly short t-shirt to sleep in, showed a mischievous grin when she heard the white haired woman's words. With the grin still on her face, she fiddled with her right arm behind her back until they heard the click of her bra clasp loosening, after which Ellie slowly removed the piece of lingerie from under her t-shirt. She threw it on the pile of clothes with a swing.

'What did you say? I couldn't quite hear...?' the girl innocently said, smiling at the former exile's flushed cheeks. 'Aww, come one Riven, a tease for a tease.' Ellie grinned as she slipped under the sheets.

'I don't count actually taking it off as mere teasing...' Riven mumbled a bit, also slowly pushing the blankets down so she could get in as well. Once they both had tucked themselves in, they just remained silent for a bit, although neither of them really went to close their eyes and try to sleep.
After a while, Ellie turned to Riven, in the process shoving herself noticeably closer.

'...Riven?'

The addressed woman turned her head to the girl with a curious look in her crimson eyes, slightly shimmering in the dusk, revealing her also to still be very awake.

'...Back in the alleys there, you could've easily killed those men, no?'

There was a short silence before the other one responded again.

'Yes.'

-'...What withheld you? Not that I wanted you to kill them, but seeing as they did try to do perhaps irrevocable things to us...'

'There is no reason for lethal bloodshed until the time for reason is over. My hands are already stained with enough blood I can't wash away...'

The light in the Exile's eyes seemed to dim a bit.

'...I'm so glad I have you with me on side and not against me...' Ellie spoke in slight awe, and it brought a slight twinkle to the ex-Noxian's eyes again. She smiled and now also fully turned to the brown haired young woman next to her.

'You know I could never hurt you, Ellie.'

Ellie softly shook her head.

'You're the strongest woman I've ever seen, and still you're here, with us...with me.'

The brunette spoke those last two words almost inaudibly, but she still feared the warrior heard them, given her sharp hearing. Riven herself now showed a compassionate smile and shoved herself a bit more to Ellie.

'Still can't get over the fact that us Champions keep up with or even care about "normal people like you"?'

Ellie looked down a bit, mumbling something in protest, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. Riven, who had lifted her hand a bit, hesitated, but with another look at the girl in front of her, she let out a small sigh and moved her right hand towards hers, softly taking hold of it. Ellie herself, who hadn't expected the sudden touch, looked up in surprise. Still holding the brown haired girl's hand in a gentle touch, Riven moved it upwards. Slowly, she placed it on the soft tresses of her own snowy white hair. Letting it linger there, she took hold of Ellie's other hand with her left hand and guided that one towards Ellie's own auburn locks.

'Do they feel different?' Riven softly asked.

'Yours are a bit softer...' Ellie answered, caressing the warrior's pale locks, not really knowing what to say. Riven smiled at the girl's response, but went on. She lifted their hands from their hair and placed them against each other, having to shove herself up closer so their forearms could near as well.

'Your fingers are more elegant, my hands are a bit bigger and calloused, your arms are slimmer, but in essence, are they that different?'

The other woman could only shake her head, once again Riven was right. Now, the Exile took another deep breath and onwards moved Ellie's hands again, this time to their cheeks. With one hand, the girl could feel her own, smooth skin. With the other, she felt the warm, somewhat rougher skin of Riven's freckled cheek, softly pressed against the palm of her hand.

'Are they that different?' the white haired woman asked once more.

'Yours is so...warm and distinct.' Ellie smiled, feeling the warrior's cheek flare up a bit. 'But...I can't...no.' she continued, seeing as Riven still expected an answer.

'So...' Riven began, her crimson eyes now shining in a soft, but determined kindness. 'You just saw we were the same in all those fields. And if you are the same as me, why would I treat you like you're something else? Something different? Something less?'

She took a deep breath and Ellie felt Riven slightly tighten her grip on the girl's hand. 'Instead, I should be the one being in awe and disbelief of you wanting to take me in...'

Her blood red irises trailed downwards. 'I have countless deaths on my conscience, I have literally pushed my way through dead bodies of people we...I...had slain at certain times...I have served as the "prodigal Commander"...Nothing more than one of the so many cogs in the war machine that is Noxus. All those gruesome acts, all the bloodshed on the grounds of the people, these people with their beautiful culture... Murdered, soldier, men, women or children alike...all slaughtered...And still, you accepted me, took me in...'

The conversation had turned around again, with Riven this time sinking down, the demons of her past slowly strengthening their grip from within that corner of her mind that was stuck in the past, in the Coeur Valley.

'I don't care in the slightest bit about what you have been.' Ellie sounded, her voice full of the determination Riven had shown earlier as well, pulling Riven back out of her somber musings. 'From the moment you entered my life you've been nothing but one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I don't care about what you did there in Ionia. The past is in the past, and you've had your share of penance in your self-exile. The fact that you turned your back to Noxus only shows your morals and intentions shine through the ruthless warrior you were. I've said this earlier and I will say it again and again until it dawns on you. For me, you are Riven, the woman who could bring out the best in other people's hearts, just because you're one of the most kindhearted and sweetest person on Runeterra and now Earth as well. Got it?'

Riven had her head held down the entire time Ellie was talking, but the brown haired woman felt how the ex-Noxian tightened her grip on the girl's hands. And now, throughout the white bangs in front of the warrior's lowered face, Ellie saw something she thought she'd never see on the so strong woman.

A tear.

A single tear ran down the Exile's face, however unlike her stubborn and held back self it was.

'Hey...'

Ellie softly brought her other hand to Riven's face as well and gently cupped the young woman's cheeks. She softly lifted the former exile's face back up and affectionately wiped away the saline drop of water, along with the wetness it left behind.

'You shouldn't let it slip in your mind we feel whatever kind of resentment or repulsion for you, that we wouldn't like you, we do...' the brown haired girl said. 'I do...I really do...' Ellie continued in a soft tone. She sighed as she beheld Riven, trying to comfort her, trying to comfort herself. The young woman fixed her crystal blue eyes on the downhearted gaze of white haired woman in front of her again.

'I really want to show you I do...an-and I also forgot to thank you for saving me back there...' the girl whispered. Now, their faces were so close that she could see almost every cute little freckle, notice all the different hues of red in her crimson irises, the raw emotion they now contained. Ellie slowly moved forward, unable to hold herself back anymore, driven by her feelings for the Exile facing her.

The next moment, their lips touched, and instead of pulling away after the initial surprise, Riven did not stiffen, but instead accepted and just gently placed her own hands on Ellie's cheek as well, returning the kiss. After the seemingly eternal, blissful moment in which Ellie felt emotions rushing through her, felt the love that had built up in her and she had been hiding for all this time, their lips parted again, and they looked at each other with a slight blush, both surprised at how the other one had acted.

'They also don't feel that different, in essence...' Ellie smiled. Before Riven could do anything but give her the same loving, but confused smile back, the girl slowly moved forward once more to give the Exile another, long kiss.

'Although they do feel so much softer...' she whispered when they ended the kiss again, making the already blushing Riven turning even more crimson.

'And all this time I thought I would have to hold back my feelings and remain alone...' Ellie said after a while, them both being so drowned in the happiness for the fact that they could fully embrace each other with their feelings finally exposed. And it was Riven who found the courage this time, as she bent over towards the other woman and gave her a kiss as soft and tender as Exile was herself.

'...I-I thought the same...' she smiled, her expression still filled with uncertainty. 'But...why me?'

Ellie sighed and laid her head on the neck of the former exile, tickling the warrior's nose with some stray locks of auburn hair.

'Should I repeat what I said again, or what?'

She turned her head a bit to look up, laying next to the warrior.

'You're so tender, sweet, kind, beautiful, and-what-not-more, how can you not be loved.' the brown haired woman smiled. 'I could rather ask you the same question...'

Riven titled her head to the side and smiled as well at Ellie's words.

'...Because below the hyperactive and endlessly teasing girl lies a tender and beautiful person, with a heart of gold, and a smile so cute it could bring whole battles to a halt.' Riven said in a still somewhat hesitant tone, her blush not faltering. Ellie almost let out a squeal of joy under her breath at seeing the warrior behaving so cute and threw herself against the white haired woman, burying her face in the snowy white locks of hair as she tightly hugged Riven. However, she felt the Exile's cheeks burn as soon as the young woman felt the full pressure of Ellie's shapely rack pushing against her, making the girl grin.

'And perhaps also because I have quite the..."assets", hmm?'

-'N-No way, that-' Riven stammered, but the young woman laid a finger on the ex-Noxian's lips to hush her.

'Relax, Riven, I'm just teasing you...'

Riven murmured something vaguely, but sighed happily and placed her head against Ellie's again. With an innocent smile, Ellie took one of Riven's hands, to let it very subtly and accidentally halt on one of her ample breasts. When the warrior almost turned a dangerous tint of crimson in embarrassment, Ellie let out a soft laugh.

'Sorry Riven, I couldn't resist...you're so cute like that.'

Before the ex-commander could object to the fact that Ellie still had Riven's hand held down on one of her breasts, Ellie moved her head up to place a kiss on the former exile's lips. The ex-Noxian's tension disappeared as she returned the kiss, and afterwards they just lay against each other again, slowly enjoying every moment.

'...Notice how you haven't taken your hand off my tits yet, though.' Ellie said after a few silent moments, a grin appearing on her face when the white haired woman quickly moved her hand away from the thin t-shirt that covered Ellie's bosom.

'Come on, Riven...you don't have to be embarrassed about something like that.' the girl smiled, although with a slight blush on her face. She took hold of Riven's hand again, but this time with a tender and loving grip, and placed it on her t-shirt once more, on the same spot it had been moments ago. She then hugged the Exile, cuddling up to her until she felt the young woman relax as well. Ellie moved away again after a while, and let her hand linger over Riven's once more. She had been looking downwards a bit in hesitation, but moved her gaze back up again, and blue eyes met with the crimson ones of Riven.

'I love you...' Ellie whispered, taking the warrior's wrist in a soft hold. 'And I want you to be comfortable with me, I...'

A slight, hoarse tone slipped into her voice as her words faltered. She simply guided the warrior's hand downwards again, to the bottom of her comfy t-shirt. With a simple movement, she slipped both hers and Riven's hand underneath the fabric. Gently, she placed the ex-Noxian's fingers on one of her warm, bare breasts.

As if she was guided by Ellie, Riven went on and tenderly placed the rest of her hand on the girl's soft and ample love pillow, now feeling the small, slightly hardening nipple underneath the palm of her hand. She held her hand there, not knowing how she would even be able to pull back her hand, under Ellie's softening hold and the fabric of the nightwear, but most of all she couldn't resist the so mellow and warm feeling of the girl's breast. As she carefully caressed the voluptuous tissue, in which her hand almost seemed to sink away, so soft, with an almost cozy temperature, Ellie suddenly seemed to get to her senses again, as if she noticed she did something completely wrong.

'I'm so sorry! I always do this, I go too far and-'

The girl shook her head with her eyes shut and wanted to pull back, but this time it was Riven who held Ellie in place with her other hand, catching the brown haired woman and slowly pushing her back forward.

'It's okay, Ellie...'

She stopped Ellie's tries of complaint with a kiss, as tender as only the ex-Noxian herself could give one, and when she slightly pulled back, Ellie just looked at her in slight confusion.

'I love you too, you know...'

She looked at Ellie with burning cheeks after having made that move, but her other hand went to the girl's other breast in an impulse, and she felt oddly comforted when she could feel both soft womanly bulbs in her hands, gently caressing them as the other young woman happily sighed in relief and nuzzled against the Exile.

'T-They're so soft...' Riven whispered with crimson cheeks, and caused Ellie to giggle when she heard the Exile's cute words and more so, the adorable way in which she said them. Ellie's giggle turned into a soft moan of pleasure as the other woman apparently hit some of her sweet spots. Lead by the feeling, she held Riven's hands against her ample chest so the woman certainly wouldn't pull her hands away.

'I'm sure yours are too...' Ellie whispered back, impulsive and with a loving tease behind it. It caused Riven's cheeks to burn even harder, but at the same time, Ellie's words made her feel really, really warm inside, so warm that she even...

'Wou-Would you like to also...feel them? It would ,eh-sure make us even...'

Ellie opened her brilliant blue eyes again and looked into the abashed ones of Riven, clearly having had a wave of comfort washing over her, to propose that.

'I-Are you sure? I-Of course I would love to, but I mean, if it's somethi-'

Her words also faded away and turned into a mere blush as the ex-Noxian gently shook her head and moved her hands away from Ellie's soft bosom, who immediately missed the comforting warmth of the Exile's hands on her breasts. Riven went to sit up straight and seemed to take one more deep breath before getting to it.

'I do want you to see it...' she said, now a firmer tone appearing in her voice. The warrior moved her left hand to the fastening below her right armpit and untied it, this time just loosening the bandages in general. She halted a bit and looked at Ellie. 'Because I-I also want you to be comfortable with me...'

She shook her head almost imperceptibly and began to undo the bandages. As she stripped off more pieces of bandage, the part of Riven's chest no one had seen before since the incident in the Coeur Valley slowly came into view. Although it would seem logical it had lost quite some of its tan, the skin on her upper chest still had more than enough tone, it seemed it was more or less her natural tone. Or perhaps Riven let it out in the sun for it to catch some oxygen now and then, however strange that sounded to Ellie. One by one, the gruesome scars that the horrific bombardment back in Ionia had left behind appeared from below the tissue. Next to the portion of scars Riven had already shown her, Ellie couldn't help but let her blue eyes slide over the rest. Some were big, or thin and long, others small and rough, but all the fibrous pieces of skin shared the same slight discolouration, something that made them stand out even more against the hardened skin around them. As the skin neared her breasts more, it began to soften, gradually becoming more void of scars, even looking mellow, like what Riven's skin would be like overall if she wasn't the hardened warrior she was now.

And finally, Riven reached the height of her breasts. The first what came into view was a piece of underboob, because of the bandages not being broad enough to coat her whole bosom in one go, but Riven quickly covered it, still a bit prude, it seemed. She undid the last of the bandages and threw them next to her.

She softly sighed, but with another look at Ellie and seeing the love reflected in those crystal blue eyes, she shove the hesitation away. Slowly, she uncovered her chest, letting her arm gently fall to the side. Amidst the severe scars above her midriff and sides, her two firm breasts were now in full display, still slightly rising along with her chest because of the deep breath she took. They weren't as big as Ellie's, but they sure were quite the sight. Perky and full, they immediately attracted the attention and accentuated her form perfectly, as soft and tender-looking as she was herself, with a rounded form and cute, very lightly coloured nipples. And also like Riven herself, they were a beautiful and soft sight, in between all the scarring.

'So...' Riven, who hadn't seen Ellie's face yet, began in a tiny voice. 'Will you look at me in disgust now, now you see the hideous, vile, scarred part of my body? In horror?'

Her voice was just a whisper, it seemed she must've gathered all her courage to come to this, and it was slowly ebbing away again. Riven's eyes started to trail down when Ellie didn't immediately gave a response, but was surprised when Ellie got up in a seating position as well and moved towards her.

'I look at them like I look at you...'

The girl tenderly placed her hands on the Exile's soft and firm love pillows, caressing them like Riven did with hers just moments ago. She moved her face to the once again blushing warrior and gave her a gentle look.

'With love...'

Before Riven could respond, she took the ex-Noxian in a deep kiss, and softly pushed her down on the bed, affectionately going over all the parts of Riven's breasts, sometimes brushing, sometimes tenderly kneading a bit. When they broke the kiss again, Ellie gave the former exile another loving look.

'They feel so soft as well...I told you.' she whispered with a hint of tease, making Riven smile a little bit. 'And since you're top naked...'

She moved up a bit and slowly undid herself of her t-shirt, making her big mounds drop from being pulled up along with the clothing, getting into full view now. Two very full and round jugs adorned Ellie's chest, soft like baby skin and with an very gentle tan, like the rest of Ellie's natural tone. Two softly coloured nubs made the two womanly bulbs even more inviting, certainly now they were standing out a little bit already. The girl let out another giggle at Riven's clear interest in them and just went to leisurely lay down on top of the white haired woman, letting her own soft breasts press into hers, creating an inciting tension in which she also could clearly feel Riven's tips harden a bit because of the excitement the whole evening had already brought forth.

'...But what about my scars?...Don't they frighten you, now you see all of those hideous carvings, know that I'm so...torn?' Riven said in a soft voice, seeing Ellie take her in a hug. The brown haired woman let out a small sigh and lifted her head. She placed a finger on Riven's side, on a free spot between two scars. Then, she slowly went to draw a path with her finger, although she was very careful when she encountered a piece of scarred skin.

'For every scarred part of you...'

She came past a part of a pretty long scar in the middle of Riven's side.

'...Is a beautiful part, whether it's on the outside...'

The girl moved her fingertips towards the onset of the Exile's right breast and caressed the part her own breasts didn't cover.

'...Or the inside.'

Now, she moved her fingers quickly over the top of the warrior's chest towards Riven's face and placed her lips on the former exile's again while she tenderly cupped the woman's cheek. After another of the so many blissful moments that evening, Ellie slowly moved her head away and softly shook her head.

'You don't know half how beautiful you are, Riven...'

The Exile smiled with a blush and reached up, taking the girl in a very close embrace.

'Oh Ellie...You dramatic girl...' she cooed. The young woman laid her head against the brunette and sighed in a loving relief.

'Thank you, Ellie...for accepting me.' the former exile whispered, the happiness and comfort soaking her words. The girl smiled and turned her head, giving Riven a long, but tender kiss.

'Thank you, Riven, for being here with me.' she said in a loving voice, her crystal blue eyes closed already. 'For me...'

She let her head sink down for a bit and now it seemed the drowsiness was really kicking in, and she comfortably drifted off to sleep in the arms of the broader warrior, still feeling the pleasant touch of Riven's breasts against hers and the soft smell of her snowy white hair. Riven herself smiled at the hyperactive girl falling asleep almost on top of her, finally giving in to the exhaustion and the Camille tea. The Exile laid her own head softly against the brown hair of the woman she loved so, dozing off after a while as well.


So, I hope you have enjoyed it, and if not, I'm sorry :c But now the chapter is over, it's time to show my reviewers the love they've given me by reviewing^^

Dunka99: "We made it Reddit. We are back on course. My predictions were half true yay. Another reviewer said we need to have lux. I say we need taric. Why not both. And taric op because support taric csn kill vayne 1v1 5 times. And puns puns puns we need phreak to read this. And and now there is RivenXellie no denials anymore. İts a fancanon. And man you gonna take our skimpy bikini(or topless) riven away!? I Cry every time. And now that arcade riv is a thing lets hit the arcade and find a certain buxom blunette and a metal guitar hero unicorn. And food for thought lux' spell thief outfit is cute as Fuck and casual too. Anyway it was funny like you said it would be and now we want more chapters. Dont push yourself tho. If its this long make it 2-3 months no sweat. And have a fucking fantastic day."
Well, now I know what you mean with the Reddit mentioning, and it's still funny to read x) Lux and Taric, that'd be canonwise some heavy competition around Ezreal, not to mention our dear pink haired Enforcer could force herself to get a say in it, like the subtle girl she is. Puns, puns, puns, I HATE PUNS WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THEM xD Although once again, I wouldn't mind Phreak reading this, not at all, rather the other way around... And well, you have your answer on that one now for sure x) The following topic has been spoken about in our pm's, so... :3 Ellie already mentioned the arcade pony, so hell why not though :D Lux's spell thief outfit is a bit casual, yes, but it's still standing out a bit in modern day streetscape :/ But the cuteness and potential are there for sure^^ I'm glad you found it funny, hopefully as funny as I had writing it!:D More chapters are always there to come -until the story has ended of course- so rest assured :D -And I can't help pushing myself, while writing this I know I should probably do this and that and change the other thing etc etc my mind is going in overdrive sometimes x) - At least the fact that you liked it makes up for all that, because that's what we're aiming for of course :D Have a great day yourself, and I like the convo's on League too, btw^^

Yorkmanic88: "I feel like putting a romantic music from metal gear solid to get in the mood for Hayden and Zyra. Maybe calling of the night instrumental version...eh who knows"
Well, I have gotten myself some romantic music as well when I'm writing such things, like in the playlist :D The only thing is that I sometimes feel some music that could actually be sad for others as romantic or fitting, so I don't know if it all is that fitting xD

Tourvelix: "Hayden starts talking french

*Opens Google translate, copies quote and translate from French to Spanish*

Ohh

Anyway, nice chapter, really like how the bonding with all of the characters are going. And also, it doesn't matter if we have to wait a week,month or so, you always deliver with nice chapters.

And I hope you are fine with all those epileptic attack of yours :("
Yeah, I found it funny if Hayden would pull off some random shit like that:D And of course it had to be Ellie who said that cliché, more...appealing sentence x) Thanks that you liked it and mostly, that you like the characters, because when I write about them, I really feel like they could be real, so I hope to pass on that feeling, that is the best thing that could happen, that readers enjoy it like me :D And the epileptic attacks, well yeah you saw the note at the starting AN :D I won't talk too loud, it can suddenly radically change again, but for now... ^^

Freak666chaos: "that was worth the wait. And you keep teasing Syndra, dammit! The dinner was very fun to read, and as a french guy i'm happy to see my mother tongue (even with a few mistakes) in a story.

the characters are still well written and i'm already waiting for the next chapter. Will we see Leona ?

See you soon and may the inspiration stay with you"
I'm glad you still forgave me for the long wait -hopefully it'll stay the same with this chapter- and of course, there has to be some teasing every now and then~ When I went over the french sentences again after it was uploaded I felt so embarrassed seeing the retarded little mistakes, certainly because it's a language I am supposed to know well, being a Belgian...
Leona, like with all the Champion questions, I can only say perhaps, perhaps not:3
Thanks for the continued support^^

Astroman 1000: "hehe great chapter beautiful and ALIVE characters, uh really seeing sort elliexriven thing so ok i guess hope it comes out good, oh and soon wanna see what if anything happens between ez and punchy
cant wait for the next chapter
thx ;)"
Thanks for that comment man, the fact people see them as truly alive characters brings joy to my heart -I am saying this so many times but can't stop it- and the Ellie x Riven, welp, you have your answer x) Ez and Punchy, let's see about that in the future, shall we...Thanks for enjoying^^

ANGL KING DHIA: "Good shit man! Continue improving and honing your skills, you're still getting better and better. I know I say this ALL the time when we talk but this story (and also the beta-reading that I stay up until crazy-ass times to finish for you by my self-imposed deadlines XD) has really helped me through tough times, I know I haven't always been the quickest or even the most quality beta-reader, but know that whatever happiness I gave you, if any, you've already given back to me countless times over.

Thanks for doing everything you do,
-ANGL KING DHIA"
Thanks dude! :D And you know I'll also keep saying this all the time, but you have been a massive help and a nice dude from the moment I met you and we started the beta reading and general talk^^ -And that I tried to get you off those sick deadlines lol- Quickest beta reader: indeed, no xD BUT Quality beta reader: along with Jesse you are the absolute top, man :D Certainly because you can repair some of my broken English that still slips in between my sentences x) I'm happy I am able to give you that happiness, because you certainly returned it!^^

Guest: "No sweat about no new champ (or sweat it and bring 'em, can do with both :D)
Admit it tho, with how much Elise plays the queen part of her title, some random dude sweeping her off of her feet (scary thought there... would he have to do it four times, or... hmm) is a rather interesting thought. And hey, why not give some love to the rarity of a still living being coming from the Shadow Isles? Poor girl must be lonely with all those death-obsessed lunatics.
About Elise being/not being that bad... not sure I'd want an everyday neighborhood spider...(Cutting it off here again mate xD)"
Considering I am that worse that it takes me several chapters to cover like, two days max I'm afraid it'll indeed take some time for a new Champ/some new Champs to arrive xD "would he have to do it four times, or..." Are we into some more...interesting scenes here, or what?~ It would have to be a player with Ahri-like skills, considering the age of Elise and all the tricks and things she already knows by now...Although I admit the poor girl perhaps has some need for love, somewhere deep under that collected look and behaviour. And her nice/evil behaviour...she does have her good moments, let's settle for that x)

As with all these GoT references, the only thing i know about GoT is the name xD I never read the books, never watched the series, so I don't know one single bit about its characters xD Xerath would be one hell of a help, since he indeed studied magic like no tomorrow, the only problem is he's completely mental and wants to rule the whole thing and is therefor locked up in the Institute.

The only thing I have to say about the pre-food banter, almost half of a chapter dedicated to them waiting for food, and you remember Elise's bad pun? . And the ones that followed up, too x) I think it would be difficult to get Riven so far that she'd drink enough to get drunk, but if so, it would rather be Ellie kissing Riven drunk, the hyperactive ball of impulsiveness she is. And oh my, Ellie drunk in general, I think Zyra has to hide, or Hayden has to restrain her from getting physically violent...unless she's drunk too, of course.
Can't you see the problem of Lux and Ellie meeting? They would both just increase each other's behaviour, throwing the ones around them into an oblivion of hyperactivity and overly excited happiness...
And the focus on Ellie's assets, it's 1. because she automatically attracts the attention with just how she is 2. because she is so small and still has tits that could rival those of our Spider Queen and Wildflower x)

About Zyra's language, I'll have you know I have a whole document on my computer concerning the language, and I'm actually working on it when I'm bored and don't immediately know what to do x) So maybe in about some time I'll be able to get whole dialogues of Zyra in Kumungian:3
Perhaps Zyra and Elise could try to figure something out, but since it's the result of harsh chemicals that are quite out of the way of their poisons I don't think they'll immediately find something, although maybe a temporary thing could perhaps be settled. I don't know, that's a niche concept^^

The fact Syndra has been feared whole her life because of the power she possesses caused her isolation and difficulties with others more. The fact remains she has indeed killed the ones who opposed her. First her teacher, then the ones who wanted to stop them -" A legion couldn't stop me, what chance do you have" - but I think that is an interaction between what has happened in her young years and her isolation, and it makes the situation only worse now, because now the people have a legit reasoning to put behind the tales of the "evil witch"...I think it's sad for the poor girl, I feel like she could have been a sweet woman if it all went better :c
Anyway, thanks for the read and broad review, have a nice day:D

GasaiKid115: "Hey nice to see an update and very interesting now knowing theres some sort of thing inside of Hayden. A pool chapter is an amazing idea cant wait to see how this goes i just imagine Vi trying to seduce Ellie and Riven trying to stop Vi so she can do it. Cant wait for more"
I think if Vi'd try to seduce Ellie the girl would just playfully jump on Riven aka to safety xD hope you've enjoyed this chapter too then^^

RazorC: "Again, you manage to get every characters personality covered, even several sides as well! I ended up not caring about the slow progress, because this as well is really entertaining to read!
Also, I think I like this version of Elise, the puns were fantastic xD On second thought, she is sort of expensive though. What did she even order?
I think it would be cool if a champion already got integrated in the world, which would opt for a coincidental meeting, maybe there are more champions with the same starting point as Zyra?"
Thanks man, it feels so good every time people enjoy the characters I try to create:3 The puns, every time xD But I figured our everyday neighbourhood Spider Queen deserved some stupid puns of her own. What she ordered, I initially knew it, but after working on the rest of the part until the food arrived I completely forgot what she actually had ordered xD
The thing about this concept is, all the Champions are scattered, so the chance that some could have the same starting point as Zyra is there^^

tomy98: "welp thars some nice backstory and a some filling for the gaps in travel. also when will the hayden harem begin XD"
Hayden harem x) He could try, but I don't think he would like to get on his lover's bad side...

JulianMence: "Yet again, another great chapter! You should rename yourself from ADamndGoodName to ADamnGoodStory... Yeah I'll stop with the VIcious puns now :3
I really like your style of writing and the chapter length is very convinient. So hyped for the next chapter right now :D

btw, is there gonna be Diana in this fanfic later on? Since you mentioned her in one of the first chapters and she's kinda my favourite champion :3"
I cursed myself with this name, I know, the puns x) And yeah, the chapter length has to make up for the long wait a bit :/ Sorry for making you wait so long again xD
And Diana...Diana is my true favourite Champion ever ever, and that's why I am scared to put her in, I don't want to ruin her by putting her in the story and then ruin her character :/ I do have Diana-centered stories in the wait though, but once again, difficult to bring myself to properly work on it without being afraid^^

Lady Flame: "Hey sorry about my last review, I blanked out and forgot what I read. I really liked this chapter quite a bit. If they don't go to the beach and draven isn't there, couldn't draven be in some tv show as a report (his primetime skin) hehehe. Or draven and darius are on an nba team or something. 3 pointer draven and darius dunkstorm. Riven please make a move on Ellie. You are a warrior, who survived melters. Yet blush like a kid here? Riven pls. Ellie to op. Pls nerf gudname. And yes I would love to see lux here. I am just imagining them having a laugh session (I love lux's laugh btw) huehue. And to answer your question, I don't cry because of sad things. For some odd reason I laugh. I can't help it. Uhm I'll end it here.

-Lahdy Flerm."
No probs, rather thanks for the review :D And also, thanks for enjoying the chapter:3
Draven would only report about himself actually, now I think about it x) And give poor Riven a bit of rest, with a walking definition of energy like Ellie around you expect a timid girl like herself to try and make a move? ;-; Ellie indeed OP though, but no nerf in sight yet:3 Lux's laugh, that is one of the laughs I keep spamming in game xD And if I go full derp, 40% cdr and throwing my ult every time it's up, no matter where, while laughing mwhaha
Thanks for the read and the review^^

Croziff: "Swain IS balanced! What makes you think otherwise? Swain is either an underrated or overrated champ, everyone says. Nobody realises how hard is to play him! I swear I can feel your eyes rolling! Stop that! And if you trully think Swain is OP, why don't people play him? He is hell lot of fun to play.
I see 100 yasuos and Zeds for every Swain. That's just sad... I want a challange.

What are your thoughts about Kindred? And the most important question of all: creamy or crunchy penautbutter? (JK tho it would be nice to know) When shall we see a new champion? It's been quite some time, if you ask me.

P.S. Well written chapter, if I may say."
About Swain, every time I see him on ARAM, I cringe even before the match has started x) I have perhaps seen him like, around as much as I saw Yorick on Summoner's Rift though, so I can't really say much for there, although I hear people complain about him. One of the sick things is that his ult keeps going while he Zhonya's -as far as I know- , how is that conceptually even possible, the birds can't return to him while he is in stasis ._.

About Kindred, their voices, music and quotes are absolutely top-notch:3 Although I like Lamb's voice the most, so...soothing. The perfect serene part of the eternal hunt^^ Their gameplay, I tried them on the PBE, wtf broken shit, by the end of the game I did 20% of the opponent's hp as extra damage...
20
PROCENT

Oh hey minion waves, bye minion waves
Oh hey Caitlyn, bye Caitlyn
Oh hey Darius, bye Darius
Oh hey Baron, bye Baron (my friend almost solo'd it at level 12 with a little help of me)
Oh hey Nexus, bye Nexus

Well, although their early game can be difficult, I'll give you that^^
I have to disappoint you, I don't like peanut butter :/ And a new Champion, well, the problem is that with all these chapters, only like, two days have passed, so actually it hasn't been quite some time, objectively seen x) And thanks:3

Azitsu: "first's off - good story, nice plot and i like what you did with the characters' personalities, esp zyra's. update more! XD another thing, what of the yordle? Are they gonna be in the story?"
Thanks mate^^ Always good to hear that people enjoy the personalities:3 Yordles, I admit that's a different thing, a part of me wanted one of them to trip over a stealthed Teeto when they exited Elise's forest, but I could restrain myself hahaha

MightyFrenchFry: "I'll defeat Hayden's hunger with my mighty potatoness!

Dammit! I don't have the ideas needed for this anymore T.T

R.I.P. in peperonni Master of Potato.

Well, let's act normal. As someone who actually has been reading this story since its humblest start, I must say that the deep character development you got in Zyra and the crew amazes me. Only thing that I'd like TO see AND you haven't included yet is Darius. Cuz Noxus. And cuz we could use a bit more conflict within 'ze team', as Fiora would say."
...So no more potatoes? :c
Okay, onwards, thanks for the kind words mate, every time someone says they enjoy the character development a little part of me lights up:3 Darius could be an interesting character, but...I don't like Darius that much :/ However, that won't throw him out of the potential Champions of course^^ And now you mention Fiora and her accent haha, my rune and mastery pages for Fiora Jungle are called "Reworked But Worthzy" and "Zeh Duelist" x) Sorry, random useless info, but it made me think of it haha

Needs more lemon: "C'mon, t'was the perfect time to make lemon puns :p"
Puns are never good :c The only thing is, people always seem to like them xD

Welp, that's it again, thanks again everyone for reading and hopefully enjoying:3 Everyone have a good time on League/a good day/a good -fill in what you'd like- :D

ADamnGoodName out.
