You are my sunshine
(You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.)
Amaya held Janai close to her as blood spilled from the wound in the elf's side. Despite her best attempts to stop the blood, her love slowly slipped away before her eyes.
(You make me happy when skies are gray)
The pain of losing another person she cared about hurt more than any wound she had received from battle. She had told Janai this a few years ago after a battle when Janai was severely injured
(You'll never know dear how much I love you.)
As the tears fell, Amaya felt a hand cup her cheek and wiped a tear away she looked at Janai's now pale face. The fire in her once feirce amber eyes was now a weak ember now barely hanging on.
(Please don't take my sunshine away)
Me: I am done with werewolf aus
Brain: but what about a werecreature au where Janai is a weretiger and Amaya is a werewolf, and Sarai finds them playing in a moonlit clearing (basically forbidden love)

13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done (had to rack my brain for a good idea, so dont judge me)
When she was younger(early teens), she stumbled upon a few wild hotcat cubs without their mom, so she decided to stay near them for a bit until their mother returned from hunting and when she did she was not happy to see an elf near her cubs. Janai now has a scar on the inside of her left arm because of that.

"Hey, little one!" Janai laughed, picking up her son as he waddled his way towards her arms in the air, "I thought your mother was putting you down for bed."
"Hi!" the little one grabbed at her hair, and continued to blab, some of it even coherent.
"Ah, I see. That's a serious issue." She agreed, kissing his forehead, "Now lets go find our wayward queen."
It wasn't difficult to find her, she was in the nursery, fast asleep in the toddler's little bed.
"Did you two decide to trade places tonight?" she giggled, setting him down and kissing his forehead before he could protest, "I have to take your mom to bed."
Aviv laughed like it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen when Janai picked up her pregnant wife, careful not to jostle her too much. It was so hard for her to sleep well these days, and she'd like to let her rest.
"Come, my son, you can sleep in our bed tonight." His eyes lit up and he followed Janai as she carried her wife to bed.
"I'll do anything. Anything at all. Just let my friend go."
*rubs hands together enthusiastically*
Oh, this will be fun!!! (Forgive me for changing a word from the prompt it just makes more sense if I used the word "wife" instead of "friend")
"I'll do anything. Anything at all. Just let my wife go." Janai pleaded as the blood elf's claws lightly pierced the soft flesh beneath them, causing small beads of blood to roll down the human's neck. Kim'dael smirked at the queen's words. "Anything you say?" She asked. Her blood red eyes seemed to search the Sunfire queen's face as she nodded. "Yes, anything. Just let Amaya go."
"Then release me from my debt." The blood elf requested, to the queen's shock."No! I will never release you." Janai said with a slight growl as she saw the elf's claws sink slightly deeper, forcing a pained whimper from Amaya."Are you sure about that choice?" She asked lowly.
She finally saw the queen's resolve break. Janai spoke the words she never thought would leave her mouth, "Im sorry grandmother. Kim'dael of the Blood Moon, I release your debt." The golden collar around Kim'dael's neck glowed like white hot metal as it split down the middle, revealing scarred flesh from when her grandmother first gave it to her as it fell to the ground.
"Thank you, and as promised." The elf released Amaya before disappearing in a cloud of red mist. The two lovers reunited in a soft embrace.
A Wolf and A Tiger
Amaya felt like someone was following her as she walked into the woods but didn't pay attention to it since the moon was rising and she had to find Janai before then. She could feel her wolf pur at the thought of seeing the tiger again, as she entered a clearing the scent of cinnamon and cherry smoke filled the air and in the center was Janai. "I was worried you wouldn't come." Janai signed as she met her in a soft embrace, which Amaya relished in for a few moments before having to break it to sign. "I had to make sure I wasn't followed sunshine. You know what will happen if my sister finds out about us." Janai's reply made her heart spark alight."I know my moon, but let's forget about the world for now and just be."
Amaya's wolf and Janai's tiger stirred as the moon rose higher before they shifted. Amaya's wolf appeared almost painlessly, followed by Janai's tiger form. The two played in the moonlit clearing, free from what society wanted them to be. It was peaceful until Janai heard a twig snap.
The scent of sweet berries and citrus filled their noses. The tiger could see Amaya's ears flattening against her head with a whimper as Janai looked at the treeline and saw someone in between them. Janai stood in front of Amaya with a protective growl, hoping to scare whoever was there away. But that only made them come closer.
The moon bathed the figure in silver light, revealing a woman with pale skin similar to Amaya's, but her hair was longer, and her eyes held a dagger's edge in them. Janai felt herself wanting to back away from the woman's presence and let her see Amaya because she didn't want to pose a threat to her. "What do you want?" Janai asks calmly, which the human returns with a snarl."I could ask the same from you, now back away from my sister before I make you." The woman shifted into a huminoid black wolf with her teeth now bared, but Janai didn't move. The tiger spoke calmly. "No."
The wolf growled and charged toward the tiger, and before she could even think her arm lashed out too hit her but didn't notice her sister running in front of the tiger, her eyes blinded in anger. Her claws hit Amaya across the cheek, sending her to the ground with a hard thud, causing a whimper to escape from her lips before she pushed herself up with a pained growl. She saw her sister's guilt filled face as she kneeled, but Amaya felt her wolf snarl at her before looking at Janai, who helped her up.
The air was filled with the smell of Amaya's blood now, and it was dripping off the other woman's claws. Janai had tried to be civil with her, keeping calm when the woman started to get aggressive, not showing any hostility, and it resulted in the one she loved to get hurt. Janai let out a soft sigh before letting her full tiger free as she spoke, "I didn't want to fight you. But you hurt the one I love, I told her not to worry about you since I would protect her!!"
"Protect her from what? A loving sister who wants only the best for her, the only family she ever knew?" The woman replied with a snarl. The dagger's edge in her eyes became as sharp as a sword as she saw the tiger shake her head "No I would never protect her from that, I will however, protect her from anyone who wishes to harm her because of who she loves. Now leave before I do something we both will regret."
The black wolf nodded and ran into the woods. A roar followed her through the woods, ringing in her ears.
Barely holding back the urge to run after her, Janai held Amaya close and nuzzled into her neck. Inhaling the scent of fresh rain-soaked earth and leather. She finally allowed herself to calm down. That was when she cupped Amaya's left cheek to look at the injury. A hiss of pain came from the silver wolf, "I know it hurts. And it looks like it will scar." She could see Amaya's ears were still flattened against her head. She was afraid, Janai ran her hand gently through her love's hair as they now sat in the clearing, holding each other tight.
Hanahaki au for Janaya
It'd been a rather...untrusting way to keep peace between their once warring nations, but it was effective. Each nation sent their best warriors to the apposing nation, they would protect the royal family with their lives, and end the royal family if they showed any sign of treachery. Their ancestors agreed that they would make peace or die, but on nothing else.
Janai grew up around humans in their grey ugly armor, some she loathed, some she liked. They were were like elves in that, but at least with elves she loathed, there wasn't always the knowledge that they were her jailers. She was born with a knife to her knife to her throat,
'The guards who protect your life will end it as well, never forget this.'
To be fair, the Katolian royals had the same lot in life. Each nation cheated a little, marrying their strong warriors whenever they could to avoid losing them. Janai's father had been one such warrior, and King Harrow's wife was one as well. That is how Janai ended up in her current predicament.
They'd sent the new princess's little sister to replace Janai's aging bodyguard, and it hadn't taken long for Janai to grow fond of her. Amaya was amazing, strong, fierce, clever, loyal, amusing...her positive traits would take all day for the Golden Knight to list. They became friends, spending more time together than necessary, learning from and leaning on each other; fighting together and depending on each other.
They had tea nearly every night, and tonight, Janai returned to her room and started coughing. It was no surprise to her when she felt something solid come up her throat. She could even guess what type it was;
a crimson orchid: love, respect, desire. A flower representing an elf who found a love with a harmonious mind and heart, their match. And now Janai had officially taken too long to admit it.
She spent all night researching how to stop it. Two options presented themselves, admit her feelings, or have the priests burn it out (along with the feelings themselves) at the sunforge. She found herself lacking the strength to do either.
Janai hid it, and hid it well. She would excuse herself to cough up the orchids, then burn them in her hand. Her daily tasks still done, her nightly tea still observed, though the coughing fit she had after was becoming more tiresome.
A book dropped on her desk, spilling the ink and ruining her work, "I'm deaf, not blind."
"What do you mean?" she got a pointed finger at the book....oh... Amaya had looked up Hanahaki Disease.
"Tell her." She ordered, crossing her arms.
"That's not an option." Even if she did, it wasn't like she would ever have her. She had been content to have Amaya in the way she had her, the disease wasn't being fair.
"You shouldn't live without love, Janai" Amaya signed with a soft look on her face, Janai could feel the flowers growing in her lungs.
"I can't."
"Then why don't you go to the priests?"
"I can't lose her."
"You don't even have her, Janai! Either grow the horns and tell her how you feel or cut her off!" Amaya glared, challenging her. Janai seethed, jumping to her feet so she could glare down at her.
"Don't tell me what to do, bodyguard!"
"Fine, pull rank. I guess I'll have make it easier for you." Janai's mind came up with a very clever response that never left her mouth, it was too occupied. Amaya pulled her down and kissed her. It was everything Janai could hope for...then she pulled away and had the worst coughing fit of her life. Amaya rubbed her back the whole time... which only served to grow more orchids.
She finally pulled away, Amaya wiped away the tears caused by the coughing, "How did you know it was you?"
"Deaf, not blind, Princess." she rolled her eyes, "Just tell me, Janai."
Strange, even knowing Amaya had feelings for her, it was still hard to choak out those three little words, "I love you."
"I love you, too." With Amaya's admission, Janai felt her lungs clear for the first time in weeks. She felt relief, but was not at all relived,
"It doesn't matter, we can't be together."
"No we can't." the human agreed, "Officially. Luckily as your bodyguard, no one will question if I watch over you tonight."
Janai blushed deeper than she ever had before, "...May the sun go down quickly."

Even The Darkest of Nights End In Sunlight
Yureni sighed as he looked out into the royal garden where he could see his sister sitting next to a large statue of their mother, her shield raised high .
The boy had heard from his older sister of how the garden seemed to be more beautiful at dawn just as the sun was rising above the palace walls, the sunset violets, crimson orchids, and gold and orange marigolds sparkling with morning dew in the soft morning light.
He heard familiar footsteps behind him, followed by his mom's soft voice. "I knew I would find you here. What's on your mind?"
"What was my mother like... before she died?" Yureni asked softly. Janai smiled sadly as she replied, "She was fearless, brave, strong, and kind. She was the only one who I could call my match, my love, my light in the dark." His mom's eyes softened as she asked."You dont have to answer, but why do you want to know about her?"
The teen was silent for a few seconds before replying."I want to know because she died when I was too young to really remember her." He wiped some tears from his eyes with a soft sniffle. He felt his mom place her hand on his shoulder. The teen leaned his head back and whispered, "I just wish she was here." Janai sighed softly before kissing her son's forehead."I wish she was still here too. You would have made her so proud, sunbeam."
Hehe.... I wrote angst again.
Let my baby be happy and get married in peace. Is that too much to ask?
I just want to see her happy.
I present to you, quite possibly, the most betrayed Elf in this show. At least this season.
Could we maybe let her get a little break from all the betrayals, sadness and nightmares?
She cried so much this season.
Please.
The Waltz
(I wrote two summaries, one somewhat sad the other less so. I hope you don't mind)
(The less sad one)
Step after step, mark after mark of their dance Janai knew Amaya was the one she would choose as her queen.
(The sad one)
The band's music would always play in Janai's ears as she danced with Amaya. As sweet memories faded in and out of her mind, she didn't care who saw that she was really dancing alone. Amaya having left her side long ago joining her sister in the stars.
Unexpected
For Janaya
mild nsfw under the cut
Tonight, Janai had taken control with no resistance. Having little patience even with the lack of opposition, Janai hadn't bothered to move to their bed. Wearing the souvenir her human lover brought from Katolis, Janai took her on the divan until she was positive that Amaya was completely satisfied.
After some reciprocation and cuddling, Janai decided to carry her lover to bed. The gesture seemed to be appreciated, a genuine soft smile took over Amaya's face as her arms looped around Janai's neck. For a moment all was right with the world.
A few steps into the short journey, Amaya nuzzled in and whispered a single word, "Janai."
Janai, who until this very moment was unaware that Amaya verbally spoke at all, jumped out of her skin, dropping the human to the tent floor. Panic and guilt overrode surprise as she rushed to collect check on the woman.
Amaya was fine, nothing broken but the mood, and well, she thought Janai's reaction was hilarious. She laughed knowing the hands on her shoulder and stomach were signs that her elf was trying to check on her, but she just couldn't stop herself.
"I thought you were going to hit the ceiling!" Amaya finally said, nearly bursting out again.
"Well, it was a surprise! I didn't know you speak." Janai blushed, making Amaya feel slightly bad for teasing her.
"I don't, not really. I can't say many words in your language. Hello. Go. Stay. Hurt. A few others. I didn't bother to learn much, even when I pronounce them right, people say I sound off."
"You have a beautiful voice."
"Bet you say that to all the women you drop for saying your name."
"Quit deflecting." Janai huffed, picking her lover back up and carrying her to bed. Amaya used humor as a shield, sometimes more often than her actual metal shield. She laid the human down and leaned over her, "You have a beautiful voice."
"Thank you."
🕯 ─ have a “no electricity” date night
(Sorry for it being very short )
The sun seed glowed softly in its tree, the warm light trickling out like sap as Janai and Amaya sat at the base of the tree, enjoying some peace after the stressful week they had. No duties to attend to, just a quiet evening between them.
Silver and Gold
Janai held Amaya close to her chest while she gently stroked her wife's soft brown hair, which had grown significantly since their initial encounter at the Breach, reaching nearly to the middle of her back. The delicate gold and silver beads that were carefully tucked into a braid near Amaya's left ear glowed with radiance as the morning sun’s rays streamed through the bedroom window.
The softness of this moment infused Janai's heart with warmth, akin to the embers of a small campfire that were ignited within her chest. The elf smiled as she felt Amaya stir in her arms to face her, “Good morning, my love.” Janai said softly as she kissed her forehead. The general smiled before giving the other woman a kiss to her lips.
