Okay so we are coming to the end of this oneshot booklet! I'm sad :(
Sorry that the ending of this one sucked so bad; it was supposed to be great but then it wasn't.
See the end for more notes!
Day 29- Wings
Being in love was a little like having wings, or so Elsa, aged seventeen, suspected. In the books she read it always seemed to give the protagonists some kind of great courage that, consequently, prevented them from death, dire injury or banishment; something along those lines.
It was how exactly this occurred that confused her the most. Was it a spell? Did it take time, or did it just happen? And how could one's relationship status affect one's physical strength? Elsa understood a great many things; sacrifice, platonic love, anxiety, depression...but romantic love simply escaped her.
That was, until she met the boy at the window.
Well, meeting was too strong a term for what it was. She could hear him and he could hear her, but a curtain and a locked window barred them from each other. They would talk at night about everything; her powers, his powers, her sister, the weather outside, and every night he would ask her if she would open the window. She would always say no.
It didn't take long for him to get impatient; judging by his personality, she was surprised he had held out so long. He would tease her 'I'm sure you're not that ugly!', and beg her 'c'mon, please, Elsa! Just for a second!' and ask her why over and over until finally she realised...she didn't have a reason.
Elsa was a logical girl. She knew she couldn't hurt Jack because his powers were just like hers, and he was a spirit, of all things, anyway. But she had kept up a barrier for so long that she didn't know how to function without it. It wasn't that she didn't want to see Jack...it was that she didn't want Jack to see her. Without that curtain, without the locked window she was vulnerable.
"I want to." She told him, once. "But I don't know how."
"That's alright." He had replied. "We'll work on it."
And after so many years of being strong, or maybe it was weak; she couldn't tell anymore, she finally drew back the curtains and opened the window.
"I'm going to be Queen." She said. The boy she had imagined for so long landed on her floor and, as he wrapped his arms around her, she sucked in one, long, shaking breath.
"It's okay." He said. "We'll work on it."
His words soothed her just like every time, but for once she found herself believing him. She suddenly believed, with his arms wrapped around her, holding her in a strong, protective grip, that they would work on it and everything would be okay.
Was this what it was to have wings?
Right, so, the next one-shot will be the first chapter of a Jelsa fic I am going to published when I have a few more chapters written, though I'm not sure entirely when that will be. However I need a name for it and I hate to say it but I can't think of one; Elsa is a primary school teacher and Jack is a single parent with two children, Jamie and Sophie. At first Elsa wants nothing to do with her student's parents, but slowly she finds herself taking a liking to Mr Overland.
That wasn't supposed to be the blurb, that's literally just a casual description. but yes, I need help! If any of you can come up with a name then I'll dedicate the next two chapters to you and yes! Please help!
Also, shamelessly advertising my others stories, for PJO/HOO lovers I have a Solangelo one-shot booklet posted! I posted it a while back but I'm rereading the books and I'll hopefully actually get some in it now!
If you like K Project I have like three stories for that and I'll be coming out with a new one about Yata very soon that will be updated weekly.
If you like Fairy Tail I have about six thousand one-shots for that.
If you like Free! Iwatobi Swim Club I'm going to be coming out with a series of drabble-ish stories about each of the boys and an OC significant other, plus an extra one for Rin that will be updated weekly because I am shamelessly in love with him.
If you like Haikyuu! I literally just posted a one-shot for Oikawa and a random OC girl based off Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera, which I know is ridiculously overdone, but mine has a happy ending so there.
I think that's it? Anyway, I hope someone on here a) can come up with a title for me and b) likes the sound of my other works!
