Furina is dealing with the aftermath of the trauma that unfolded in her five hundred years of living as an Archon. The prophecy and the flood have left her with an overwhelming fear of water. She spends her days lying in her bed, staying in the safety of her apartment. She doesn't see anyone, not in this new mortal life of hers. Until Monsieur Neuvillette appears on her doorstep one rainy day, offering to take her out for her favourite cake. It is during this outing, where an assassination attempt on Furina's life is uncovered. Her Vision, granted to her not by the heavenly principles, but by Neuvillette himself, is making her a target. Both Furina and Neuvillette find themselves having to make sacrifices for the greater good of those around them. Victory comes at a cost, Furina knows that by heart. Although she may not be acting as the hydro archon anymore, deep down, she is a woman who will do anything to protect her people. No matter the price, or the sacrifice she must make. Neuvillette will do absolutely anything to keep her alive. To keep her Vision, to keep her humanity. He will do anything to help her heal from the five hundred years of acting under a blinding spotlight. Both of them will do whatever it takes. Rather than fooling the divine, this time, Furina must fool those who are doing everything they can to end her new life. Neuvillette just wants to make sure that he is there to stop her from going too far, from sacrificing too much, before it is too late. || a furina and neuvillette love story.

[Neuvillette x Reader | Slow burn Novel] "The first thing people always noticed about me was my hands. Cold. Always cold. Not the kind of chill that fades with gloves or a warm drink, but a deep, unshakable frost that clung to my skin and never let me go. My parents-kind, pragmatic entrepreneurs-chalked it up to impaired circulation. Nothing a little hard work and a good pair of gloves couldn't fix. It was winter, and I was a bundle of sheets. They took me in, raised me as their own, and we turned our small family business into something thriving and worth passing down. But I never truly fit into their world of trade routes and negotiations. I wanted-no, I craved something out of reach. So, when the opportunity arose to expand their business into Fontaine, I seized it. My own branch, my own rules. I'm terrified. How could I not be? But maybe, just maybe, it might be worth it. A fresh start in a city of glittering waters and ironclad justice, where the rain reigns supreme, and magic and technology kiss in an impossible marriage. Little did I know... Oh, so little, I did know." 🎖️#1 Neuvillette 11/25 🎖️#1 NeuvillettexReader 06/25 🎖️#1 Hydrodragon 12/25 🎖️#1 Hydro 11/25 🎖️#1 Fontaine 11/25
