my curse ╱ my blessing, my damnation ╱ my absolution.

“So you had an accident, and you are being punished for this accident. Right, they seem like a perfectly logical bunch.” Leo briefly rolled her eyes.

“Accidents happen, people make mistakes all the time. Doesn’t mean you deserve to be hunted, it also doesn’t give anyone else

“There is a reason,” She said. “A very specific one.”

A quiet breath. Then another.

“My magic backfired.”

She shifted her weight slightly as she hugged one knee, her other leg underneath her.

“It wasn’t meant to happen. I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.” Her jaw tightened. -

— deserves a second chance unless it is an act driven solely by malicious intent.” her gaze travelled back to the woman’s own.

“So why don’t we see if we can figure out a way to get them off your back for good? Worse case scenario, we fail… which doesn’t put us any

@WitchySapphist You’ll be okay, it’s been a rough day.

— until whatever needed to be resolved was resolved. Not that she would have left anyway, her overwhelming urge to assist the woman sitting so close to her would have kept her there regardless.

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

“Not that I expect you to share, but uh. Any particular reason why or do the wrong beings just not like you?” Leo placed the cup down next to her so she wouldn’t drop it. She was weary and for the first time in her existence she did not trust her hands to hold the vessel.

When Leo thanked her, Rhea’s expression flickered just a fraction, but the softness didn’t settle. It came and went like a reflex she couldn’t afford.

“You’re welcome,” She said quietly, though her tone held a wary edge.

Her eyes tracked the cup in Leo’s hands, the way she -

— up at the brunette again, she couldn’t physically leave thanks to the magic was holding her here. Most likely her own, in her personal experience the universe had a pretty firm arrangement with her and that was keeping her where she needed to be

— Which may take some figuring out.”

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

“You know what I meant Karina.” the healer was unamused by the brunettes response, the thought of causing her any emotional pain was enough to make Leo’s heart tighten again in her chest.

“My plan is to spend the rest of our… not so mortal existences together.

[𝐾𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑎. (Parody) @WitchySapphist]

"I.... Mmm. Leo, if you give up your immortality, I have to watch you die. How is that at all less painful or less stressful?"

Was Karina intentionally being a bit of a pain? Perhaps. In her defence, she had not been expecting any of the events that had transpired that —

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

— rest of my existence with you and only you.” Those words? Leo meant every single one of them, she had waited years to finally express her feelings, she was not going to lose the opportunity now that she had the woman of her dreams in her arms.

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

“You won’t have to, I will deal with it.” Leo inhaled deeply, the scent of Karina filling her lungs. She held it there for a moment as if it was the last time she would ever breathe her in again.

“I would give up everything, including my immortality to spend the

"I just don't know if I can spend all of that time away from you, It will hurt too much. I am a fragile witch, Leo. I have experienced worlds of heartbreak in my time, that I just do not share with people."

Karina spoke softly, like she was speaking sacred words that were not —

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

— had said. She was going to live a life with the witch, no matter what the personal cost.

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

“I think I might try and find a loophole in my… job.” Leo replied, giving Karina a squeeze, the thought of being away from the other woman again was already eating away at her mind.

“I wish it was easy as quitting, however I will find a way. I promise.” she meant what she

“What about the next time you have to go?”

She had contemplated avoiding the conversation all together, but she knew there was no use. It was important, and she couldn’t handle not at least trying to prepare herself for the inevitable.

“I mean, sure… it’s not very long for —

— have been divine. A satisfied hum emanated from her throat after her second mouthful, relief was sweet. The healer did not need food or water to survive, but to remain sane and well it seemed to be a necessity.

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

Leo watched as the other woman moved around the room, her gaze shifting to the ceiling for a brief moment and then back to the brunette when she returned to her.

“I… thank you.” Leo replied, taking the cup. Her brows furrowed together as she held it

Rhea blinked at her, slow and deliberate, as if trying to understand why Leo would even question it. The hostility was gone now—replaced with something steadier, rough around the edges, but undeniably sincere.

“I wasn’t expecting it either,” she admitted, the words grudging -

[Leo |parody| @BrokenRhapsody]

— before she lifted it to her lips as took a sip of water, it had been a ridiculous amount of time since Leo had consumed food or water and that water? It tasted like the best drink she had ever had, the stuff could have tasted like dirt and it still would
