be nice to me (oc pmv , FW & blood warning)

happy valentines day ! to celebrate i have two charcters that arent even dating or really in love theyre just friends but one is a strange little creature in nature(its coriander). I mean u could probably ship them ? theyre like the same age and r friends so like u could but i dont think thehll be canon anytime soon but it could be cute idk i just wanted a excuse to post the front bottoms propaganda
characters: coriander (they/them, lynx with the scarred face) , pine (he/they/fir, fox who straight up jst dies)
this video is most closely tied to my I deserve this meme (one elaborating on how coriander’s encounter with sycamore) and oleander pmv!
I have a whole thing typed out below thats more detailed and neat but its lowk kind of confusing so anyway tldr after sycamore leaves coriander for dead they are doing Not so lvoely. but pine finds n saves them :-3 but they are still doing not so lovely . so pine slowly eases them back into normalcy where they become super close with eachother until coriander’s paranoia from the event takes a toll so badly that they try to run away from the colony for good but pine chases them down like girl WAIT. lets talk. please. but then falls and dies GN!!!!
ok anyway if u want the longer vers HERE i think its neat i like writing long stuff for ppl who r into reading it :3
coriander would’ve been a goner after their first true meeting with sycamore, their body having been discarded in the snow and left to either pass from the blood loss or freezing temperatures. they didn’t know if it was another chance at life given from the avians above, or just a mere twist of fate, but the young healer left the crows’ territory in search of coriander.
the only thing navigating pine was the harsh, cold gales against the dark blanket covering the skies, but by some miracle they found the young lynx’s body, dragging them back to camp knowing that their was a life in his paws now, and not much time left to save it. It took moons of being in the healer’s den for coriander to even speak after the event, having given up nearly everything after it; their job as a messenger, the bonds they’d had, the same respect and dedication they had for the colonies, nearly their own voice.
but pine didn’t wish to give up on them so easily, so fir did everything to make sure they’d be comfortable with the healers-trying to slowly ease them back into normalcy without the fear of any claws reaching their face ever again-and offering that they’d join them on expeditions to gather herbs, promising coriander that they wouldn’t be alone, but never too crowded.
It ended up working out, slowly. pine really was the only one that coriander saw companionship in, and the two were closer than anything, but it couldn’t stop the horrible nightmares coriander faced.
the night terrors were horrible to them, constantly trying to keep them out from the colonies. telling them if they didn’t leave, everything would just fall apart again.
and it’d be coriander’s fault.
and late into the night, with dark storms raging high into the sky, coriander gave in, swearing they’d leave the colony no matter who or what tried to stop them.
pine didn’t understand why coriander was leaving. it was a way to get killed all over again, and they both knew this. they tried to chase their friend down, high into the trees and foliage, reasoning- pleading with them to think it over despite coriander’s begging to leave and that this was for the best. and no one knows what really happened that night, whether it was merely a accident, the rain causing them to slip, or some kind of attack,
but pine had fallen from the heights, dying in the blink of an eye with nothing else but a deafening wail. one that never truly stopped ringing in coriander’s ears.

hope u guys like the foreshadowing/symbolism with coriander having unsheathed claws while holding pines face!! kind of shows that coriander would eventually lead to his dead + their general negative traits especially when it comes to forming any kind of bond w/ others (plus in the i deserve this meme its also how snakeroot always grabs them with claws out so kind of showed that even at their best parts of life his grasp is ! always there ugh. )
also sorry if comments were turned off idk why that happened LOL
