Fablehaven Brackendra + Centaurs

Fablehaven Brackendra + Centaurs

It was a miserable day- the sky couldn’t seem to decide it it wanted to rain, be cloudy, or just be both at once. Which, of course, was why the Centaurs insisted on meeting outside to discuss Vanessa’s punishment.

‘Honestly- it isn’t even that bad! Bracken can just sever the hold, Greymane!’ Kendra was tired of all the polite compromises, and the outburst took her by surprise. Bracken winced beside her.

The tall Centaur pulled himself up, trying to look as intimidating as possible. Which really wasn’t all that hard.

‘You dare side with the Narcoblix? Even after all the has done to you, and, worse, you dare insult ME? I am the leader of the Centaurs! No puny mortal shall get away with such blasphemy in my presence!’ 

He began to take a threatening step towards Kendra, and just as he was about to take another, Bracken was suddenly there in front of him. Greymane blinked in surprise, and before he could say anything more, Bracken’s fist smashed into his face. The old Centaur staggered backwards, his nose bleeding slightly, and glared at Bracken in shock.

‘And, more importantly, nobody gets away with threatening Kendra in my presence. Vanessa will be pardoned, and we will take away her pizza privileges for a month. No exceptions. And no compromises. That is my final offer, Greymane.’ Kendra gaped at her boyfriend, before the Centaur glowered in assent, trotting away in humiliation.

It would have been a fight that they all knew Bracken would win anyways.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         ‘Hey, I try to be a peaceful being!’ Bracken argued.

‘You punched a Centaur in the face! Greymane, no les!’ Kendra retaliated.

‘He threatened me.’

‘No, he threatened ME.’

‘When someone threatens you, they threaten me, because you are my life.’

‘...That was incredibly smooth and beautiful...’

‘You still punched a Centaur in the face, though.’

‘Wait. You punched Greymane in the face!? And I wasn’t even there!?’ Seth was upset to say the least. Although perhaps for all the wrong reasons. Kendra hadn’t even noticed him sneaking up on her.

Bracken blushed slightly, looking down in embarrassment.

‘He threatened Kendra.’

‘NOW you admit it!’ Kendra grinned. Suddenly Bracken seemed to realize something.

‘Oh no. Mother’s going to kill me.’

Fablehaven Secret Santa

Hello! It is finally the 19th, so I can release my gift for @imasorenson! Hope you like it.

While the line would normally snake from the entrance all the way back to the end of the carefully placed markers and beyond, today there were only about twenty people in front of Kendra and Bracken, who were waiting to be admitted into the amusement park.

Kendra had insisted they they come, seeing as Bracken had never been to one, and the fact that Christmas was only a few days away was just an added bonus. Warren had pounced on the two of them earlier in the week, practically holding them at sword point after Kendra had mentioned they were planning to visit the park, telling the two that they should go while school was still in to avoid the madness. It had taken a day or two of planning, but they had finally arrived.

Warren had been right. Since there were so few people, it only took about ten minutes for the couple to be admitted.

“What do you want to do first, Bracken?” Kendra grinned at him, already bouncing up and down, even if she wasn’t on a sugar high. Yet.

“What is there?” Bracken asked.

“More like what isn’t there! We could go on a rollercoaster, or another ride, eat food, go to the arcade-style games, or one of the stalls like throwing darts.”

“What is a rollercoaster?” Bracken’s confusion was all it took. He eyed Kendra’s evil smile nervously, as she took his hand and practically dragged him to the ride. Once again, the few people around made for a short queue, and the safety bar was being lowered in no time.

“Oh, before I forget, when we go down, you need to scream.” Bracken looked at his girlfriend, horrified.

“Do you know what happened the last time I screamed!? Seth and I were in a tickle fight, and the fairies and Astrids thought I was in trouble! It took ages to turn Seth back into something vaguely recognizable, and that was only a tiny whinny! And don’t even get me started how they managed to fit inside the house, because I don’t know, there were that many of th-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The last part was because, while Bracken was rambling, the rollercoaster had made it up to the top of the ‘hill,’ and gone over. He had begun screaming in shock, while Kendra laughed so had she could barely breathe. As they began climbing the next ‘hill,’ Kendra leaned over and kissed Bracken.

“It’s a good thing I cleared it with your mother first, then.” Her giggles made a comeback when she saw Bracken’s shell-shocked face.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The rest of the day was amazing. Bracken and Kendra went around to everything, and soon Bracken redeemed himself with a prefect aim, and a large fluffy Unicorn toy. (Insert Despicable Me ‘It’s so fluffy I’m going to die scene’ here, lol.)

Lunch was spent sitting down at a picnic table with a tub of hot chips, churros, and soft drinks, after which Kendra took Bracken to get his face painted as a rainbow.

By the time the two made it home, the sky was dark and the house’s lights were all on, waiting for them. Seth, Vanessa, Tanu, Grandma and Grandpa, Dale, and Warren were all sitting around the table, phones and cameras at the ready. After Kendra had told the Fairy Queen about the park the previous day, she’d told everyone else about it. In the end, Kendra had agreed to make sure Bracken got his face painted, and everyone else would be there to take pictures.

Bracken didn’t speak to anyone else for a week after he found out the photoshoot was planned, though he secretly kept a picture to remember the day by.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And that’s the end! Hope you liked it, and Merry Christmas, @imasorenson and anyone else reading!

Headcannon that when Bracken gets overwhelmed or anxious or just having a rough time, Kendra will let him draw on her arms to calm him down.

-Bracken loves nature and drawing leaves and fairy wings helps him calm down.

-Kendra bought a bunch of different colored pens just for him.

-The first time was an accident. 

-Bracken was really tired and fidgety, tapping his pen against his fingers.

-He was really good at acting like nothing was wrong, so no one noticed he was off.

-Until he drew on Kendra’s hand.

-Bracken wasn’t thinking when he drew a leaf on her and when he realized, he was super embarrassed.

-”I’m so sorry Kendra! I wasn’t thinking! I just– Let me get a paper towel! I’m so sorry!”

-Kendra just looked at it smiling and quietly asked if he could draw a flower too.

-Kendra loves it. Sometimes she’s self conscious about her various scars and how she can see her veins and how she’s not as muscular as Mara or Vanessa.

-Whenever she feels inadequate she can look at her hands and see faded pen with beautiful doodles curling around scars and making made up constellations out of her few freckles and she feels so much better.

-Bracken was super worried she’d be mad at first, so the next few times he would only do a little, but it really DID help. And then he noticed that Kendra wouldn’t wash it off right away. Maybe she really does like it?

-So its a bit of a habit.

-It’s not all the time, and it’s normally small. It’s hardly noticeable. 

-But it makes helps them both.

I just need more of my anxious adorable children.
