The sun dipped low behind the horizon, casting long shadows across the ancient cobblestones of the small, secluded village you now called home. For centuries, you had lived with Wanda and Agatha, the two women who had become not just your partners, but the axis around which your life turned. Their love was timeless, fierce, and at times… infuriatingly complicated.
“You’re stirring the cauldron wrong,” Agatha said, her tone sharp but affectionate, as her fingers danced over the bubbling concoction in the center of the room. “If you ruin the mixture, we won’t have dinner, and you’ll have nothing but my disappointment to eat.”
Wanda, seated across the table with a stack of ancient tomes, sighed theatrically. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic. You’ve survived centuries; a ruined potion isn’t going to kill you.”
You blinked, caught between amusement and panic. “I’m just trying not to poison anyone!”
Agatha’s eyes narrowed, a teasing glint flashing in their depths. “Exactly. Pay attention. Focus. Or you’ll be tasting the floor instead of the stew.”
Wanda reached across the table, her hand brushing yours, soft and grounding. “You’ll manage,” she whispered, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “Besides, we’re all in this together.”
The three of you moved through the evening in a strange, harmonious chaos. Agatha corrected every tiny mistake you made with surgical precision, while Wanda alternated between gentle guidance and playful mockery, turning the mundane act of cooking into an intricate dance of laughter and minor chaos.
“You call that stirring?” Agatha huffed, arms crossed. “I’ve seen children handle cauldrons better!”
“I am a child!” Wanda called, laughing as she flicked a small spell toward the pot, sending sparks flying harmlessly into the air.
You groaned, ducking as the sparks fizzled over your shoulder. “I said I didn’t want to poison anyone!”
“Then stop flinching,” Agatha shot back, though her tone betrayed amusement.
As the night deepened, you found yourself standing in the middle of the living room, watching them. Wanda’s eyes glimmered with that ever-present spark of magic and mischief, while Agatha’s expression softened, the sharp edges of her centuries-long experience melting away when she looked at the two of you.
“You two are impossible,” you muttered, shaking your head, though warmth flooded your chest.
“And yet you stay,” Wanda said simply, her smile radiant, contagious.
“Yes,” Agatha added, the corners of her mouth lifting ever so slightly. “Because despite the chaos, despite the incessant teasing, there’s… balance. And we adore you for it.”
You felt a laugh rise in your chest, half relief, half joy. “I adore you both, too. Even if I almost set the kitchen on fire.”
Agatha’s eyes sparkled. “Try not to do that again. But if you do… we’ll clean it up together. As a family.”
Wanda slid closer, her head resting briefly on your shoulder. “Centuries of magic, centuries of love, and somehow, the three of us make it work. We’re unstoppable.”
And in that moment, surrounded by the warmth of their presence, the gentle hum of magic, and the laughter that danced between centuries of shared history, you realized that life with Wanda and Agatha was chaotic, messy, and completely extraordinary. Every day was a lesson, every moment a treasure, and every mistake—whether a ruined potion or a clumsy spell—was an adventure you wouldn’t trade for anything.
Because centuries of love weren’t just endured—they were lived, fiercely, and together.
