Fable: "Oh, I'm glad you think so. I'm actually going to post the first chapter of most of the stories on the list and just take it from there. If people like it, I'll keep updating. If they don't, then they don't."

Fable: "Don't worry, Nova! I'll get right on that Preyshipping story!"

Angel: "Yeah! But first, we got Birdcageshipping! Hey Celina-!"

Celina: "Don't say it. I'm already there."

(Celina mutters.)

Angel: "Now we got Birdcageshipping, the shipping name between Celina and Crow Hogan. For this AU, it's sort of a medieval fantasy AU with magic and castle and stuff. Celina is the poor princess trapped in the tower while Crow is her bird in shining armor."

Ship Name: Birdcageshipping (Celina x Crow Hogan)

Name Reason: Named as such because both of them have been caged and under close watch of their superiors (Celina under Leo Akaba's rule and Crow under the societal views of the Commons and Tops). The bird comes from the fact that Crow's name is a type of bird.

Love in a Birdcage

Celina impatiently drummed her fingers on the windowsill. Why was he always late? Giving up on staring at freedom in the face with no way out Celina got up and laid back down on her bed.

She could smell the fresh night air as the wind blew through her window. In all honesty, Celina was a little bit worried for him. The Professor had recently buffed up security. Did he get caught?

Celina shook her head at herself and turned over in her bed, facing the plain wall. He was too good to be caught. They have been doing this for months now. After a few minutes Celina closed her eyes, trying to dream of a future far away from this hell hole. A future where she could be together with him, without the fear of having to sneak around or worry about his safety every second of the day.

"Hey." A soft voice whispered, close to her ear. Celina's eyes flew open and she flung her fist back, only to have it caught. She quickly twisted around, but relaxed when she saw steel gray eyes staring back at her. "Whoa! Calm down. It's me." He let go of her fist, allowing her to sit up.

"I didn't hear you come in, Crow." Celina wasn't sure if 'Crow' was his real name or not, but regardless, this is what she called him. She stood up alongside Crow who had been crouching by her bedside. He wore a dark hood over his clothes and hair to blend into the darkness better. Out of sheer instinct, Celina reached up and pulled down his hood to reveal his spiky orange hair.

It was such a bright color and that's what Celina loved about it. Being stuck in this prison with only the gray walls to look at, seeing any other color is a treat to her.

"Sorry, I didn't think you would mind." Crow reaches for her hand, intertwining their fingers together. Despite having been traveling in the cold, his hand was warm.

"I don't." Celina replied curtly. Crow smiles at her, soft and warm.

"I have some great news. Declan manage to convince King Kite of Xyz to help us storm the castle." Celina blinked in shock.

"H-he did?!" Crow quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Footsteps could be heard coming down the hallway.

When the guard open the door he was met by a drowsy Celina, curled up in her bed. She glared at the guard, her green eyes hard with discontentment.

"What do you want now?" Celina growled. The guard paid the prisoner no mind, instead looking up towards the open window. Celina followed his gaze and swallowed hard. "I...I was hot so I open the window." The guard didn't say anything, instead walking over to the window and looking out. Celina held her breath. It felt like hours before the guard was finally satisfied and closed the window, locking it. Celina silently let out a sigh of relief.

"Can't even have my window open?" Celina mutters. "What the hell does Leo think I'm gonna do? Jump out to my death?" The guard still remains silent as ever, shutting her door while putting the locks back into place. Celina wants to go to the window, but she forces herself to wait until the footsteps of the guard are completely gone.

Once he is gone, Celina jumps out of bed and runs to the window, quietly opening them. As soon as she does, a black crow lands on the sill, staring up at her with its beady black eyes. Celina smiles, both happy and sad. Happy to see her love safe but sad to see him off so soon. His transformation didn't last long. It was why it was such a big risk for him to see her. One wrong move, no matter how small, could kill him or even worse...

Celina shutters at the thought of what Leo would do to Crow if he knew about him. With that nightmarish thought, Celina gently ran a finger down her beloved's feathers once before shooing him off the sill.

"You should go, before your transformation wears off." She whispers. Crow kept his gaze locked on her's. Even though she couldn't understand him in this form, Celina already knew that he was promising her that he would get her out. So that they could be free. Celina nods.

"I know. Good luck. And stay safe." With that, the crow took off, back into the night. Celina stayed where she was, watching the tiny bird grow smaller and smaller until he was no more.

Fable: "Okay, Celina! Now I think you're done. At least, for awhile."

Celina: "Thank the Gods."

(Celina collapses into a chair.)

Fable: "Next we have Bittersweetshipping."

Angel: "So basically Preyshipping with Yuya attached."

Fable: "Yup!"
