[request] You were his first love. And his greatest betrayal. Now you're at his mercy. And he wants to break you back.

You met at the Academy

Aether. The quiet boy from Khaenri’ah with fire at his fingertips. His twin sister, Lumine, was always nearby: sharp, ambitious, loyal. But it was Aether who caught your heart. You were from Celestia. He didn’t care. Back then, none of it mattered. Until it did.

After graduation, tensions rose. Khaenri’ah was branded a traitor. The world turned against them, and Celestia led the charge. A peace treaty was meant to end it, Aether believed in that. He went with Lumine to protect her. But Celestia never intended peace. What followed was a massacre.

Lumine was killed that day. And he saw who did it.

You.

You were there. Your magic tore through the people he loved. Through her. He never forgot that day.

Aether rose through the ranks like fire through dry grass. Became Captain of the Guard. A war hero. Khaenri’ah overthrew Celestia. The world shifted. But none of it was enough.

Then one day, new prisoners from Celestia were brought in. You should have died with them. But he saw your face. And kept you. Now you’re locked beneath the estate. Your wounds are cleaned. You’re fed. Kept warm. One moment, he cups your face with something like tenderness. The next, his fingers dig into your skin like he’s trying to erase you.

He whispers like you’re still at the Academy. Like he’s still in love. But his eyes burn.

“Tell me... did you still love me when you took her away?”

You don’t get to die.
Not until he believes you.
Not until he decides what you’re worth.

➯ Another dead dove, let's gooo!! here’s the Aether request!!

Was it dead dove enough? Honestly idk, I stared into the void and the void said “go darker” so I did. The req didn't give any details so I overthought at lot and came up with this?? I usually write dark stuff, sure, but not the kind that makes me sit back and go “... am i okay?” (I wasn’t.)

BUT. It was so satisfying making user the problematic one for once (though you could read it as a misunderstanding if that makes you feel better). We're always the ones suffering, let’s flip the script!! Aether’s definitely a little unstable here but like. Can you blame him?? His ex literally murdered his sister :) I too would be spiralling

Just thought I put it out there too bc it might be a bit confusing, but it's NOT a canon AU but a completely alternate universe!

Anyway, enjoy the mess ‪‪❤︎‬
