FTRS One-Shots

Letters for Love (gevin/dilly/gillevin/devilly/cobblile/nobbler)

devin/gilly and heath/jax will always have some connection to love letters you cant change my mind

also i find it insane that we as ftrs readers have taken a book series with almost no romance (save for subtle hints of jilly) and created so many ships

also also can we PLEASE all agree that every royal in enchantasia sounds like a brit, like with the accent and everything

also also also (i could say p.s but also is more fun) gilly and devin are already tg in this, gilly's just forever stuck in the 'omg thats my girl' stage.

ok im done enjoy!

Gilly did not believe in cheesy, corny love letters. She did not believe in signing said letters with "yours, forever" or "your love". She most definitely didn't believe in writing letters twice or three times, hoping she wouldn't say something wrong or come off as uninterested.

And yet, here she was.

Dear Devin,

I enjoyed your last letter

Gilly crossed that out. What a boring approach. She didn't enjoy Devin's letter, she read it over and over, lighting a candle late at night to read it once more, held it close to her chest as she smiled at nothing and everything, wishing she could be in the arms of her love at the very moment.

I was happy to receive your letter.

Even worse. As if getting Devin's letter had been something she'd smiled at, then forgotten about. As if she hadn't etched every word into her memory.

She needed to be honest.

Dear Devin,

When I got your letter, I screamed so loud Jax thought I was having a heart attack. Maybe I was. I had waited not-so-patiently for three days for that letter, wondering when I would get to see your words again. I miss you more every day. Letters no longer feel like they're enough.

I want to go back to the RA ball, where we started talking, and then didn't stop. Where we hid in your dorm and laughed over stupid things, and where you kissed me, and I fell in love for the first time.

I know that I told you that once upon a time, I loved Jax, but I no longer believe that. Because if I loved Jax, then what word would I use to describe what I feel for you? You are everything. Jax was a lot of things, but he never took up my every thoughts like you do. We are the sun and rain, and you make up every colour of the rainbow (not just because you're gay).

You mentioned in your letter that Heath has been distracted recently, and I can certainly say why. Heath and Jax have been sending letters quite like ours. Jax won't ever show them to me, probably because they're writing cheesy, weird letters (not that I can be talking- writing?) and Jax is too embarrassed.

How are your animals doing? I hope Riley the Red Robin is doing well from that broken wing. I'm sure he's safe in your care.

Wilson has been ill recently. He's barely eaten anything. I would like to bring him to you, if that's okay. I would also like to see you again.

With all my heart,

Gilly

Gilly read it over once, then twice. Was it too forward? She didn't want to scare Devin away, but... comparing it to the letter Devin had sent, she figured it was good. She slipped out of her dorm, and headed through the rotating hallways to get to the mail room.

On her way, she bumped into Jax, who looked to be a particularly unhealthy shade of pink.

"Are you sick?" Gilly frowned, studying his face.
