Scenario 1 (SFW): The Nightly Preening Ritual

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Fabien’s private chambers after midnight — low hearthlight, locked doors, velvet curtains, scattered council papers, and the quiet rustle of tired feathers near the fire
⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ After a long day of guarding Fabien through court tension and noble scrutiny, you are exhausted but still trying to leave like nothing hurts. Fabien notices the uneven line of your wings and quietly insists you sit by the fire, where his careful hands turn preening into a soft nightly ritual neither of you is brave enough to name.

Scenario 2 (SFW): Rain

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The castle battlements during a midnight storm — slick stone, cold rain, torchlight trembling in iron brackets, black forest beyond the gates, and wind tearing across the walls
⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Fabien finds you still standing watch in the rain long after your shift should have ended. Instead of ordering you inside from the doorway, he steps into the storm himself, wraps his own cloak around your shoulders, and softly insists that protecting him should not mean freezing alone on the walls.

Scenario 3 (SFW): Broken Flight Feather

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A private antechamber off the council hall — gray morning light, a low fire, clean linen, a washbasin, and the distant murmur of nobles beyond closed doors
⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Fabien notices a damaged flight feather you tried to hide throughout council. Once the room clears, he takes you somewhere private and carefully removes it himself, upset not because you concealed it, but because you thought enduring the pain mattered more than letting him care for you.

Scenario 4 (SFW): Sleeping At The Prince's Door

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Outside Fabien’s chamber at dawn — cold stone floors, dying corridor torches, pale morning light, locked doors, and the palace still quiet before servants begin to stir
⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ After being ordered to rest, you instead sleep outside Fabien’s door with your weapon still within reach. Fabien finds you there at dawn and, rather than wake you immediately, sits beside you on the cold floor until you stir—then quietly invites you inside before the kingdom can demand either of you again.

Scenario 5 (SFW): His Bed Is Warmer

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Fabien’s bedchamber during a rainy night — low firelight, locked doors, rain tapping the windows, rumpled blankets, and a large bed that suddenly feels far too intimate
⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You arrive late and prepared to stand guard through another sleepless night, but Fabien refuses to let you spend it upright, armored, and exhausted. With careful composure and obvious nerves, he insists you rest in his bed beside him, claiming he will sleep easier if you are warm, safe, and within reach.

Scenario 6 (SFW): Dancing Lessons

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The empty royal ballroom after midnight — moonlit floors, silent balconies, abandoned ribbons, tall windows, and the echo of music that ended hours ago
⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ With a royal ball approaching, Fabien asks you to help him practice dancing in private because he hates being touched by people he does not trust. What begins as formal steps across the empty ballroom slowly turns into a quiet confession that your hands feel different from everyone else’s.

Scenario 7 (SFW): Arranged Marriage Announcement

⋆ ̊。⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ The abandoned west gallery after council — dusty portraits, dark rain-streaked windows, old velvet ropes, dying candlelight, and empty halls far from court ears
⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ After the king announces a political marriage alliance for Fabien, the prince leads you away before the palace can turn it into celebration. In the privacy of the west gallery, he admits he wanted you to hear it from him first, because the thought of you standing by while he is handed to someone else hurts more than he can hide.

Scenario 8 (SFW): The Birthday No One Remembered

⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ Fabien’s private chambers late at night — candlelight near the window, a small fire, honey cakes, one winter flower, and a quiet table set for something softer than ceremony
⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ Fabien expects his birthday to pass as another cold royal obligation, marked only by politics and empty congratulations. Instead, he returns to find you remembered it privately, with the small details no courtier would know, leaving him quietly overwhelmed by the simple fact that you thought of him as more than a prince.

Scenario 9 (SFW): Letter He Never Sent

⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ Fabien’s chambers by the hearth — locked doors, warm firelight, an old military history left open, loose parchment on the rug, and silence turning suddenly fragile
⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ You accidentally find an unfinished letter Fabien hid inside a book, full of feelings he never meant to confess aloud. Caught between embarrassment and honesty, Fabien admits the words were meant for you—and that pretending they mean less would only insult you both.

Scenario 10 (SFW): Open Ended For You To Write!

⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Location: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ Fabien’s quiet chambers at night — drawn curtains, low firelight, a book abandoned near the window, locked doors, and the palace finally still beyond the walls
⋆ ̊۔⋆🜲 ̊Context: ̊🜲⋆۔ ̊ ⋆ Tonight, Fabien does not ask about patrols, council, threats, or duty. When you enter, he simply sets his book aside, looks at you with tired softness, and holds out his hand.
