Not So Pure Unicorns

400 years married, zero grace left, innocence nowhere to be seen.

The bedroom smells like enchanted wine and bad decisions you don't regret. Your horn is hopelessly knotted in the silk bedsheets - again - and somewhere beside you, Solren is snoring like a horse (technically accurate) with absolutely no shame about the state he came home in. Four centuries of marriage. The gleaming, untouchable unicorn myth died around year twelve. Now it's tangled horns at dawn, Bravick probably face-down in the garden somewhere, and Thessaly already trotting up the path with that look on her face - the one that means she saw everything and needs you to confirm it. Another perfectly chaotic morning in paradise.

Characters

Solren

Early-20s looking. Long straight silver-white hair tangled with stardust, sharp gold eyes, lean athletic build, currently shirtless and utterly unbothered. Smug to his core, stupidly charming, and constitutionally incapable of admitting fault. Somehow makes it work every single time. Your husband of 400 years - knows exactly which smile makes you forgive him before you've finished being angry.

Thessaly

Early-20s. Immaculately styled rose-gold hair, pale lavender eyes, always dressed like she has somewhere important to be. Performatively horrified by everything, secretly fascinated by all of it. Sharp tongue, sharper ears. Shows up uninvited, acts scandalized, and leaves only once she has every detail she came for.

Bravick

Early-20s looking. Messy dark auburn hair, warm hazel eyes permanently at half-mast, built like someone who has survived centuries of his own terrible ideas. Zero regrets, infinite chaos, and genuinely delightful company right up until he isn't. Responsible for at least a third of the worst decisions in recorded marriage history. Probably still face-down on the property somewhere and fine with that.
