KotLC: Eclipse (KotLC X Magnus Chase)

1K reads celebratory AI fluff scene

This fluff scene was generated by ChatGPT and then refined by me to fix any errors and change some lines.
I'm sorry if you hate artificial intelligence and anything made with it, so it may be best to turn back now if you hate it.

The song is also AI, but I think that it almost perfectly sums up Sophie and Keefe's relationship.

------

The moonlight streamed into Havenfield's quiet living room, its silvery glow dancing over the plush sofas and casting soft shadows on the walls. Sophie sat cross-legged on the floor, a half-empty mug of cinnacreme cooling beside her. Her hair was tied back in a messy braid, a few wisps rebelliously framing her face as she concentrated on the game laid out before her.

"You're going to regret that move," Keefe teased from across the coffee table, lounging on his side with a self-satisfied grin. His ice-blue eyes sparkled mischievously as he adjusted one of the pronged game pieces in the middle of the board. "Not that I mind-you losing means I get bragging rights for at least a week."

Sophie arched an eyebrow, biting back a smirk. "You mean like last time, when you bragged about winning but actually forgot you miscounted your score?"

"Details, Foster," he said with a dramatic wave of his hand. "Irrelevant details."

She shook her head, her smile widening. "Well, this time, I'm going to wipe that smug grin off your face."

Keefe leaned forward, chin resting in his hand. "Bold words for someone who just gave me an opening to claim the Starshard cluster."

Sophie's hand hovered over the game board, her brows furrowing as she reevaluated her strategy. "Wait... I didn't-" She froze, realizing her mistake. "Ugh! Keefe!"

He laughed, leaning back against the couch. "Ah, the sweet sound of victory. Don't worry, Foster. It happens to the best of us. Well, to everyone but me."

Rolling her eyes, Sophie picked up a pillow from the couch and tossed it at him. Keefe caught it easily, laughing harder. "Resorting to violence now, are we? Should I be concerned?"

"Maybe," she shot back, unable to hide her own laughter. "If you're going to gloat all night, you deserve it."

Keefe plopped the pillow into his lap and grinned at her. "Tell you what: I'll let you redo your move and take the Starshard if you admit I'm the superior strategist."

Sophie scoffed. "Yeah, that's not happening."

"Your loss." He shrugged dramatically and started rearranging his pieces for what would clearly be his winning move.

But then Sophie noticed something-a tiny detail he'd overlooked in his overconfidence. She couldn't stop the sly grin that spread across her face.

"Actually," she said, sliding a single piece into place with a decisive clink, "I think this is my win."

Keefe froze, his eyes darting to the board, then back to her. "No way. You didn't just-"

"I did." Her grin widened as she leaned back, crossing her arms smugly. "So who's the superior strategist now?"

For a moment, Keefe just stared at the board, clearly baffled. Then he burst out laughing, shaking his head. "Okay, fine, you got me this time. But don't think for a second this means I won't crush you next time."

"Bring it on," Sophie replied, unable to stop her giggle.

Keefe leaned over the table, his expression softening just enough to make Sophie's heart skip. "You know," he said, his voice quieter now, "you're kind of scary when you're this good at stuff. In a totally awesome, Foster-y way."

Her cheeks flushed, and she tried to brush it off with a laugh. "And you're... just scary, period."

He gasped, clutching his chest dramatically. "Wounded! Betrayed! I'll need a week to recover from that burn."

Sophie smiled at him, shaking her head. "Come on, let's clean up before Sandor comes in and lectures us about how a game piece could be a deadly weapon."

Keefe stood and offered her a hand. When she took it, his grip lingered a little longer than necessary, and his teasing grin softened into something sweeter.

"Good game, Foster," he said, his voice warm.

"Good game," she echoed, her heart fluttering as their hands finally parted.

This scene was almost completely made using AI, but it was refined by me.

The fictional game they're playing is called 'Star Shard Conquest' that was made up by ChatGPT. I think the game sounds like a really cool concept though.

The song was generated by Suno, an AI music creation platform.

I do have a YT channel, but I never upload anything to it unless it's for something like this.

Tell me if you want some more info on Star Shard Conquest, and I'll see you next time!
