On another story, Swan Song (now complete- go read it!), the guest reviewer known as Mallowmelt won a contest and got to request a oneshot as a prize. (MarellaIsTheBest, yours is coming soon). They've requested Kenric/Oralie, and being the kind and generous author I am (more like bored and obligated), I wrote it!
Kind of short, kind of depressing, but hey, you didn't specify!
Enjoy!
Maybe in another world, Kenric and Oralie could have been together.
The first time she saw Kenric, Oralie had just been assigned to his team as a Regent.
But they lived in this world.
She had felt so out of place, new to the nobility.
Maybe, if things were different, they'd have had a chance.
Kenric had welcome the shy, awkward new girl, had made her feel right at home with the other Regents.
Oralie can't change her choices- she can only regret them.
They'd become good friends, even starting to spend time together out of work.
No matter how much time they had together, it would never have been enough.
And Oralie started to fall in love, finally understanding what all the hype was about during her Foxfire years.
Nothing less than an eternity would have been enough.
To her delight, Kenric felt the same way.
Oralie clutches flowers in her hand, making her way to the Wanderling Woods.
Then he got appointed to the Council.
A tree is all she has left of the love of her life.
Later, he confessed that he was planning to propose to her.
But Councillors aren't allowed love.
If she wasn't allowed to marry Kenric, Oralie didn't want to marry at all.
They'd both chosen to value their world over their hearts.
Oralie took the next Council spot that opened up.
Now, she wishes she'd chosen differently.
She loved him the entire time, and even if she wasn't an Empath, she'd know he felt the same.
Oralie can get mad at her past self all she wants, but it can't change anything.
No matter how much they'd wanted to break the rules, they never did.
Kenric is gone, and he's never coming back.
They could only love one another from afar.
Maybe in another world, Kenric and Oralie could have been together.
The last time she saw Kenric, they were standing outside Oblivimyre, hoping that healing Fintan was the right choice.
But they lived in this world.
Okay, so... maybe a little more than "kind of" depressing. But hopefully good? Maybe? Possibly?
Mallowmelt- let me know if you didn't like it, I'll write another. (You're only getting this special treatment because you won a contest, by the way.)
If you have a oneshot, feel free to request it! Tell me...
SHIP: (Required) Self explanatory. LGBTQ+ ships are more than okay! I love the gay ships! I obviously won't do incest or pedophilia. And I'm just telling you right off the bat, I don't write Sophie x Fitz. I also won't do couples that are married to someone else (EX: Grady x Della, not that I think anyone ships it).
MOOD: (Not technically required, but helpful) Fluffy? Happy? Tragic? Tragic is kind of my default, in case you were wondering...
TOPIC: (Not required) What should it be about? First date? Raising kids? Soulmate AU? Soulmate AU is probably my default.
You can request by either review or private messaging.
And remember, I have the right to refuse this request unless I promised one to you specifically. Whether I don't write for the ship, I don't like the topic, or I just keep hitting a wall when I set out to write your chapter, I have the right to refuse, so don't get mad at me for not granting a request. I also may take a while, but unless I specifically state it, I am planning on writing your chapter.
I think that's all! Please review!
Your semi-obedient author, A. Fan
