Just a random oneshot that I thought of. If you want more of these say. It's based of our currently roleplay in PMs)

Since the day that Valeria was born Tiara's spirit has been watching over Markus. She knew that she was going to die during the birth of their child. After the two attempts to change her into a fae failed, she always had a feeling that she wouldn't make it. She was just a human after all. Humans die from giving birth to their own kind. She was giving birth to a half fae so the risk of her dying were very high. Of course she didn't tell Markus about it. She knew that he would just deny it or start panicking. Or both. Probably both. She knew that she should have told him but she just couldn't. Couldn't see him so hurt. But after seeing how he became distant towards their own daughter and the rest of his family, she deeply regrets her choice in not telling him the truth. Maybe it would have made it easier for him to cope and accept the truth.

Tiara had visited her daughter's dreams many times; disguising herself as an imaginary friend.  She hated seeing her daughter in so much pain because of how heartbroken Markus was so she did what she could to cheer her up. As much as she would love to tell her that she's her mother she couldn't. That wouldn't help her heal and it would probably make Valeria try to persuade her to stay in her mind. Tiara couldn't do that. Valeria had to learn to move on and accept her death. Markus had to learn the same lesson with her.

Unlike Valeria Tiara didn't come to Markus in his dreams. She tried to stay hidden whenever she was watching him because she knew that it wouldn't help him move on if he saw her. Although he did end up seeing her and thinking that she was a hallucination. It broke Tiara so much seeing him crying and begging for her to be alive and with him.  Every night for so many years she saw him crying in his sleep and become colder by the day to everyone around him. His physical health wasn't doing any better. He kept getting weaker. Fainting. Not eating. And constantly being in pain. All because of the dark veins that spread through his body both inside and outside. Those veins appeared a few weeks after her death and Tiara had no idea why. Or what those veins even meant. She could only hope that Markus would live and learn to accept her death and move on and live a happy life with the family that he had left.
