A/N : we’re doing third person for this! sdv ff!! Warning : this story contains lgbtqia+ content Prologue “Nova, sit still,” Diana insists, but Nova was restless. “But Grandmother-” “No buts, darling. It’ll only hurt more if you squirm,” Diana says, but Nova still squirms. The brush ran through Nova’s long silver hair, an unusual natural color. Her mother had gone with her birth, which made Nova regret her heart beating and her lungs breathing. Her father was never around, and he often came home smelling like liquor. So Diana and her husband took care of eight-year-old Nova while she grew up. Diana brushed her hair every day, singing a special song while she did it. Nova’s grandfather, Jerik, made dinner and managed money, keeping Nova happy and healthy. “Can you tell me a story about the Junimos? Please?” Nova asked, wincing as Diana caught a tangle. “Again? I just told you one this morning,” Diana sighs, then looks at Nova’s bright violet eyes. They were pleading, and she just couldn’t say no. “Okay,” “Yay!” Nova squeals, unfolding her legs for a more comfortable position. The brush’s bristles slide through the last of the tangles as Diana’s story begins. “There’s a tale of the Junimos, these tiny, colorful creatures. They’re the result of forest magic, and they have their own language. Some humans can see them, and some can’t. But those who can… well, those people are blessed with something extraordinary. Some of them grant gifts to their friends, and others…” Diana’s voice trailed off as she grinned. “What?” Nova prompted. “Eat the ones they dislike! Grrrr!” Diana pulled Nova up onto her lap, tickling her ribcage as she growled like a bear. “No-no they don-don’t!” Nova yelled, squealing and giggling, and soon, Jerik joined in, twirling Nova through the air. They all had big servings of ice cream that night and fell asleep to the sound of Diana’s music box.
