Summary: Reed has to return to Geislar for family business, leaving our two favorite princesses, all on their lonesome. (Or: How Cosmina's pin-up, came to be~)
A/N: Setting this in Light + world, ONLY because it works, best, with reward art. And, what lovely art it is. MMM.
This one’s Cos/Amber(...I just realized...I may have a PRINCESS kink...); pt 1 of a 2 parter. May do a threesome-shot, in the future. I enjoy those two ganging up on Amber, waaaaaay too much.
For those interested, this story's also on ao3(Synthesis). Because an Amber's Magic Shop tag is needed, and gosh darnnit, I'm happy to serve.

“Oh. You’ve, matured, beautifully…”
Amber smiles, awed breathless; cupping a flower beneath downy petals; leaning in, to clip a leaf.
(Was never able to, quite, kick the habit, of murmuring to gathered ingredients, while living with her mother in the Frontier Woods….)
Plants were her first friends.
A few more, exact snips with her shears, and she releases the nasturtium back to its upright position: orange, yellow and red, preening proudly in sunlight. One of the palace cook apprentices had suffered a nasty burn, that had healed well, but became, irritated, from lack of exposure. She resolved to craft an ointment, as well as a soap, that would help with dry skin and stave off, further, risk of infection. Of course, it only helped, that the leaves were well received in cooking applications; the sweet to spicy flavor, the more one chewed, joyfully shocking the tongue.
Her fingers, curl, along the handle of a basket; shifting knees, shuffling, to the adjoining mass of flowers;
Cradles: stalks of violet.
A smile — Another. Quick—to her lips.
The first seeds she received, had been from Reed, with a blithe comment(and a telltale smirk)that they were “purple and irresistible to the senses: Like you”. She’d given him a bashful blow to the arm, and rolled her eyes; pressing a kiss, to his cheek, soon after.
He truly was, the sweetest man, she’d ever known.
At Cosmina’s behest—and, immediate, acquisition of her fondness of horticulture—the King and Queen agreed to mete her out a sizable plot, in the royal gardens, specifically for her practice in alchemy.
(And the Princess… had taken, considerably more, than a kiss…)
Amber, adds, bundles of lavender, wrapped with twine, to the gathered supplies.
Sighs:
“She’s late.”
Her Royal Highness, Cosmina Hohenzoltar-Sigmarissanis, had promised to meet her by the echinaceas, following, her official duties for the day. Echinaceas, she had harvested, a full hour, ago.
With the compete turn around of her father’s health, there was no longer, any threat, of Cosmina, acquiring the throne earlier than anticipated — even with the Queen, well and whole. But it also meant, she now, had little reason, to sneak off on furtive expeditions. While wholly unapologetic of her former behavior, she did confide, a resolute will, in resuming her various obligations; many of which, Reed had performed, in her stead.
It makes sense—she isn’t angry: The other woman is the future ruler of Icesilia — she can’t(would never), blame her for her birthright.
Sees, firsthand, why—so long—they had to converse with letters.
(…just. Didn't expect; to see even less, after moving into the palace….)
A presence, kneels, beside her, despite their formal attire. Claims a gloved hand and tangles their fingers.
“You’re lovely, in the natural. I never tire, of seeing it.” A voice, that resonates, like still waters. “I’m also sure, Mother, appreciates, having a daughter who dabbles in flowers, instead of swords.”
Leans, into the older woman. Takes in: the distinguishing scent of rosewater and bergamot. “You don’t mean that.”
“No?” (A moment—when those amber eyes become, unknowable. Guarded and aloof.
The eyes of a Sovereign.)
Silver brows, dip. “I’m sorry.”
Amber shakes her head. “Don’t apologize; there isn’t anything to apologize, for.”
“I broke a promise, with a person who means the world to me.” With the words, the grip on her hand, tightens. “I’d say, there’s plenty to be ‘sorry’ for.”
“It isn’t broken.” Smiles. “You’re here.”
Squeezes; the hand, back.
Cosmina stares at her(—and, it’s the complete opposite, of the former look—soft; thawed…), before fingers, grasp at her chin;
Pull her into a fevered kiss.
A clipped gasp — taken aback(still: Paralyzed), when the other, shows desire, so openly
The breadth of Her love.
Pants: when released.
Cosmina, takes her lips; soft… Again; again… Brushes, aside, hair she let grow, over an ear. “As lovely as you were, there was a touch of melancholy.” Those slender brows, pinch, once more(It feels, like empathy). “Do you miss, Reed?”
The corner of her mouth, quirks—instinctive—at the mention: Reed would shovel and sift through the soil, with barely restrained glee, giving little regard toward the risk to his clothing, as he asked, only, if he spaced the seeds, properly.
“A little. But, I cherish, our time, as well.” Sighs; and nuzzles a shoulder. “I think, I’d go mad, if both of you, were gone at once.”
The palace grounds, as large as they are, can still be… Stifling. And even as a princess in title, there were still, a few, who claimed, she tricked, the royal family…
(Was nothing, more, than a sorceress Forsaken.)
The body, next to her—shifts; settles, at her back. Presses. A hand, wrapped, around her waist: Pulling her near. “Are you lonely?”
A ripple.
Her mouth, quickly, opens — but nothing leaves.
(…Is she?)
“Before the sun, retires, behind the trees,” lips; latch to her neck, “meet me in our chambers.”
“Cosmina…” finds her voice(tries, to hold back, the impertinent shudder). “There isn't any need to overexert yourself.” Knows: It will pass. “This is enough. You’re stretched, far too thin, as it is.”
Lips, press. Just, before, the silver chain of the necklace, gifted, so long ago. “Before the sun, retires, behind the trees.”
(—Isn’t. A Request.)
…Amber exhales. “So, you haven’t gotten rid of that habit, of not taking ‘no' for an answer…”
Feels: the other’s mouth, crook, with amusement. “I've told you.” Teeth. (Moans — despite herself). “I don't know the meaning of that word.” Nips, the tender flesh, again. “I, also, feel the need to bully you… I'm upset, you see. My wife, has worn the dress I bought her, with the revealing cut,” licks; up, an exposed spine. “And I'm unable, to ravish her, in the gardens.” A thoughtful hum, that rolls, through, her. “At least. Not here…” bite. “She knows this, of course. Which makes me, think it, a challenge…”
“Well,” catches her breath, “you're always hinting, I'm some big prude.” Chews her bottom lip. “And, maybe. I wanted to give, something, to look forward to.”
A light laugh; dulcet and pleasing. “I'll have to tease you, more often, if this is the result.”
“Bullying—now teasing?” A frown, she doesn’t feel. “Does, Her Highness’ cruelty, know no end?”
(But she loves it—
Loves
Their easy way—their banter;
Loves: Just Talking.)
It feels: Like a rare treasure….
When she’s given silence, in response—there’s no helping, the glance, back; the needy turn, to catch those eyes:
Dark. Come-hither:
“Do you, truly, want to cause a scandal?”
Amber smirks(knowing, servants and guards, were, no doubt, near); frees, herself, from the other’s hold, to catch a nasturtium, in bloom. “Not yet…” turns; to tuck, the vibrant flower, beside, silver locks. Admires: her handiwork. “Before the sun sets; our chambers.”
Cups, either side of regal cheeks, and pecks, lips, sweetly.
“It’s a promise.”

Re: Synthesis (Amber/Cosmina Fanfic: *Potential spoilers*)
Thanks, Jack! Fanfic's a way a fan can say thanks for creating/letting them borrow awesome characters, so I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You're also responsible for my 'princess addiction', you terrible person, but that's another story.
Part 2 will be decidedly more...adult. haha I was wondering if you can post NSFW content on this forum? I never write anything, terribly explicit, but I have no problem linking to another site, if necessary.

Personally I have no problems, however I probably think would be better to use the spoiler tag and write clearly that there could be something explicit if people click to view
