it’s been a long day of meetings and smacking people with books at the library. her shift ended not too long ago, and rather than working on assignments, she rewards herself with a glass of wine and sweet potato fries. she sighs, pouring more wine into the glass as she settles into the couch, watching reruns of the real housewives of beverly hills as she shoves fries into her mouth. trash reality television being her stress reliever. she doesn’t have the patience to develop new hobbies and lacks the energy of going out and socializing like the rest of her friends. instead, she wraps herself in her robe, eating carbs and getting sleepy from wine.
and as she’s about to fall asleep she hears a repetition of knocks against the door. she sits up, looking around the area, frowning as she yawns. “what–” she stands up, hearing that painfully annoying voice. maybe if she’s quiet enough, she won’t think she’s home, but what if some weird person takes her – ophelia can’t defend herself. their parents will put the blame on rosa and rosa doesn’t want to be the family punching bag because she let their favourite daughter get kidnapped. “ugh!!!!” she groans as she opens the door. “what do you want!!” she frowns further seeing she brought luggage. “ohhhh — no, no, no,” rosa shakes her head. “you are not staying here.”
finally, after what feels like ages, her sister comes to the door. “ what took you so long ? ” ophelia asks with a frown, but quickly shakes her head. “ it doesn’t matter anyway. i’m glad you answered. ” the winter witch peers over her sisters shoulder and into the empty apartment. her sisters words evoke a frown. “ what do you mean i’m not staying here ? ” she pouts, crossing her arms over her chest. ophelia couldn’t believe her sister would deny her like this. granted, she also wasn’t used to not getting her way. she had basically been treated like a princess by all who met her.
“ what reason could you possibly have for turning me away ? it’s not like you have company over, you’re drinking wine and watching reality tv ! ” she points out. it was information she gathered from quickly scanning the place. “ you won’t even know i’m here. i’ll make myself scarce, and if you want to have people over, i’ll just go study in the library, ” she promises. “ rosa, please ! my roommate is so loud, it’s impossible to get anything done in that room ! i can’t focus on any of my coursework or have any peace and quiet to unwind. do you see the bags under my eyes ? ” she complains, a meager attempt at convincing her sister to let her stay.

ezra smiled sheepishly at the mention of spring cleaning, rubbing the back of his neck. he supposed he should have cleaned up a little, but he didn’t expect a visitor so late at night either. but before he could say anything, there was a flurry of movement and suddenly amora was standing in front of him dressed up like the 70s — glitter and all. was her dress shining or was it just the moonlight reflecting off her? he couldn’t tell. “uh…okay?” was the only thing he managed to utter coherently, his mouth still gaping open, before amora tossed him his clothes and went off to the bathroom, the door shutting close finally bringing him back to reality. turning around to look at orion who seemed just as amused as he was, ezra chuckled. “this is going to be an interesting night, huh?” the brown hare nodded, urging him to move quickly.
it didn’t take long for him to change into the clothes amora chose, quickly buttoning the shirt he rarely ever wore besides important events, opting to go for a simple t-shirt on the daily. he made sure to leave the first three unbuttoned as instructed and after a quick look in the mirror to make sure he didn’t have a bad case of bed hair, he opened the bathroom door to show amora his change of clothes. “yeah i’m ready. should i put on some glitter too?” he looked at the spring witch once again with a raised eyebrow, the sequins in her hair was hard to miss. he seemed severely underdressed compared to amora who was practically glittering.
amora exits the bathroom and examines ezra. “ you look perfect, ” she smiles. the spring witch adjusts the hem of her dress, which keeps riding up her legs. perhaps wearing a dress that was most likely intended to be a halloween costume out into the real world came with a price. still, she wasn’t bothered nor afraid of showing a little leg. at the mention of glitter, her eyes light up. “ please, i would love to put some glitter on you. and it will most definitely complete the look, ” she reassures him, taking a seat on the foot of his bed. she then pats the spot next to her, motioning for him to sit besides her.
the pink haired witch gleams at him before pulling out her compact tube of body glitter. she tilts her head as she focuses on highlighting his cheekbones with the product. “ close your eyes, ” she instructs next, then sweeps the glitter across his eyelids. it was a subtle, yet necessary, addition to his look. “ done ! if you want more, though, just let me know. i didn’t want to over do it without your approval. but otherwise, i think we’re finally ready to head out, ” she says with one foot nearly out the door already. the spring witch hasn’t been out into the human world for sometime now, and she’s just itching to go back.

ophelia folds her freshly washed laundry and neatly places the clothing in her suitcase. after spending the past two days in her shared room, she decides she needs a break from communal living. she was not accustomed to sharing, let alone sharing with strangers, and the idea of having a roommate was one she would never be able to wrap her head around. so, she packed her bag with all the essentials --- dior, prada, and chanel. after slipping into something more comfortable, the winter witch gathered her school books, and made her way to her sisters apartment. on the way there, she thought about how unfair it was the underclassmen were forced to live with complete strangers. had the school board never heard of personal space ?
she finally reaches her sister’s door, and knocks repeatedly with her free hand. “ rosa, it’s me, you know, your little sister that you cherish so dearly, ” she calls over her knocking, blowing a strand of hair from her eyes impatiently.

both females are wrenched in opposite directions, sylphlike fingers clutching the wild flowers rising from the earth in an attempt to secure themselves. the more cimmerian of the two women finds herself pitching forward, lithe frame bracing the ground as her companion stumbles backwards. clean fingernails dig into the loam beneath them and the autumn witch fixes herself upright after a few moments, brushing frayed bangs away from her line of sight.
there’s a second of hesitation, but it’s comfortable— warmth floods through diantha as though the springtide sunshine touches through her skin and the corners of her mouth begin twitching, curving upward into a smile as she holds up the shorter half of the bone she had managed to break. it’s an indication that amora is the fortunate one between the two, but the AUTUMN WITCH doesn’t think that her companion will truly need to waste the hope on finding her someone. she’s more than talented enough to succeed as a matchmaker without needing wishes.
“ it seems that you’re the fortunate one here, but don’t waste that fortune on me … you’re more magnificent than you think and i’m sure you’ll be able to find me a suitor. though you certainly have your work cut out for you . . it’s strange to think anyone would have interest in the likes of me. ” it’s intended as a joke and diantha allows another soft smile to grace her features before she nods towards the bone. she’s thankful to be able to share these moments with the SPRING WITCH — especially given she hasn’t been able to make more than a handful of friends. amora has undoubtedly been the kindest and has indulged in diantha’s odd stories more times than one could count.
the autumn prefect eyes a patch in the ground where the earth has already been disturbed, fingers clawing at the soft soil as she gives the colorful witch the next instructions. “ close your eyes and make a wish. afterwards we’ll have to bury the bones in the ground. ”
her dark eyes light up as the realization hits her. the spring witch takes a moment to readjust herself, tucking her legs beneath her. now settled, she runs a finger along the bone and arches a brow. it’s smoother than she expected. silence engulfs her as she continues to fixate curiously on the object in her hands. it was strange to think it once belonged to something living.
“ where do wishbones come from ? ” she inquires, finally breaking her silence. “ please, you flatter me too much. there are more talented matchmakers out there, but i do the best i can with my knowledge. oh, that reminds me, i need to know your astrological sign ! in fact, if you have your entire birth chart at your disposal, i’d love to see it sometime, ” amora offers a calculating smile. “ oh, and for the record, anyone would be lucky to have you. you might not see how amazing you are, but i’ll be sure to remind you every chance i get 'til you're sick of me ! ”
the spring witch was grateful to have made diantha’s acquaintance. she was unlike anyone she had ever previously met and their friendship allowed her to explore things she otherwise wouldn’t have. it’s like coming alive again just as you begin to feel desolate. the time has come to make a wish, and amora struggles to come up with something worthwhile. it feels like the most important decision she's had to make in months.
“ okay, here goes nothing, ” she inhales sharply, and shuts her eyes as instructed. i wish the two of us will remain friends until we grow old and ugly, she thinks to herself, then opens one eye inquisitively. “ wait, am i supposed to say it out loud ? ”

☾ . * have you seen OPHELIA OH around campus ? i hear they’re a FIRST YEAR WINTER witch with a specialty in RITUALS / SEANCES. i almost never see them without their ARCTIC FOX. if they ever want to be a SCHOLAR someday they should ease up on being TIMID & FUSSY. at least you can say they’re POISED & DILIGENT, too.
hi hi, it’s diana again, introducing my second character ophelia !!! if you like this post, i’ll come to you for plots asap !! hopefully eventually i’ll make a plots page for her because it’s sm easier to keep track of everything, but anyway enough rambling, u can read about little ophelia under the cut <3
☾ . * 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔 !
full name : ophelia jane oh
nickname(s) : lia
zodiac : capricorn sun, pisces moon ( click )
sexuality : bisexual
alignment : lawful neutral
pinterest : click
☾ . * 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 !
being the youngest came with many privileges, which ophelia learned early on ( she is the younger sister of ivy’s muse rosa btw ). ophelia witnessed her parents scrutinize her older sister and hold her to high standards, but when it came to ophelia, these standards did not apply. she was their baby, and being quite a few years younger than rosa, they had softened over time
ophelia looked up to her sister in many ways, so although her parents did not expect the world of her like they did of rosa, she expected it from herself. she did not want to grow up in her sisters shadow, rather, she wanted them to be seen as equals, so she worked hard to be deserving
she spent her summers with her grandparents. they were the traditional type, and did not baby ophelia the same way her parents did. they instilled in her a work ethic that allowed her to succeed
she took after her grandmother and picked up piano at a young age and, with the help of private lessons, she taught her everything she knows. she dedicated herself to two things only: her studies and piano
she went to private school her entire life, which gave her access to the best resources to become the talented witch she is. however, this also made her spoiled, although she does not realize it
her interest in rituals and seances began during her teen years. she liked that it had a “darker” feel to it than other types of magic. she loves school and learning so much, which is why she wants to be a scholar
☾ . * 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 !
ophelia is extremely reserved. growing up, she did not put effort into making friends because she was so busy with school and piano, so it’s hard for her to be sociable now
she comes off quite cold and distant ( as many winter witches do ), but once you get to know her you see her softer side and she is actually very friendly, but maybe a little socially awkward because she never had many friends
she is a huge perfectionist. she has high standards for just about everything in her life. bouncing off this, she can be very picky. she also wants everything to be done in a particular way
she is extremelyyy hardworking and driven. she would be the best and worst person to work with for a group project. she’d be the best because she’d put so much work into making it perfect, but the worst because she would be very controlling and end up doing everything herself
ophelia does not pay much attention to romantic matters. she has never been in a relationship and feels like they’re a distraction / a waste of time. she secretly loves the attention of someone liking her or being obsessed with her, but she never really returns the sentiment
she is a little spoiled. growing up in a wealthier family, she’s used to the finer things in life and can be quite the snob sometimes. she tries to control it, but sometimes she cannot help what she is
tbh she is kinda lonely. even though she pretends to be okay with not having many friends and brushes it off by saying friends are distracting, she craves friendship on the inside. she spends most of her time alone and this is why she’s extremely clingy to her sister
☾ . * 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 !
confidant - someone who confides in her or someone she confides in, or they confide in each other. they don’t necessarily have to be the closest friends ever since ophelia is a more distant person, but they get along, trust each other, and maybe they talk more in private
rivals - they don’t like each other for whatever reason, which we can plot. maybe it’s envy, or their personalities clash, but for whatever reason they do not get along. someone who brings out ophelia’s competitive and more nasty side
frenemies - they’re friends, but maybe they’re always trying to one up each other. there’s a competitive element to their friendship, and they might gossip behind each other’s backs
bad influence - someone who is a bad influence on her. pleaaase i need this for her. ophelia is literally all work and no play, i need someone who will take her out of her comfort zone, take her to parties, expose her to college life
good influence - someone she can be a good influence on. maybe she gets your muse to focus on their studies more or just keeps them out of trouble in general
unlikely friends - they are from different houses maybe and have extremely different personalities, but for some reason they get along. they can expose each other to new things
best friends - someone close in age that ophelia has come to consider her best friend. she doesn’t have many friends, so this is a huge deal and she must feel extremely comfortable around them
mentor - an older winter witch she looks up to as a mentor. someone who can take her under their wing and help her navigate uni
study buddies - can be from the same or different houses, but they always study together. mutually beneficial relationship where they help each other study and motivate each other to do their best
coworker - ophelia works as a library helper, so if your muse works in the library too, this is how they could have become acquainted. they can like each other, dislike each other, or maybe feel neutral towards one another
meet me in the library - someone who comes to the library a lot and maybe keeps her company while she’s working. maybe they keep coming so often partially to see ophelia, and they’re someone ophelia looks forward to seeing. we can plot it however
school girl crush - someone ophelia has a crush on, but there’s not really much of a chance of it actually going anywhere. she has a surface level infatuation with them, maybe they’re a little older or unattainable in some other way
unrequited crush - someone ophelia has a crush on, or maybe they have a crush on her. ophelia does not get crushes often, but your muse managed to bewitch the ice princess. or maybe your muse has a crush on her, and she is not aware or is thinks it’s a distraction so she tries not to pay it any attention
requited crush - they have crushes on each other, but maybe they’re too afraid to do anything about it. we can plot however, but something cute and soft
u have now reached the end of my intro, ty for tuning in <3 i would absolutely luv to get plotting, so like this post and i’ll come to u, or u can message me !!! also, i’m going to plug my discord again bc i do prefer it, but im’s are fine too !! it’s i miss fromis9 </3#5522

‘ of course, dummy. ’ yuna found herself immensely grateful for the dimness of the room as she felt her face burn from the other’s touch. not that amora would be all too perceptive in her current state, she couldn’t bear the thought of appearing just so vulnerable. yet, she always was around the other girl. heart on her sleeve, though amora never seemed to catch on to the special treatment she reserved just for her. it was better that way, she supposed.
‘ you’re probably more alcohol than witch right now. maybe i should conjure some snow in your mouth? kidding. ’ she teased, pinching amora’s cheek as she attempted to lead the other girl to the exit. ‘ we’ll get you properly hydrated then it’s straight to bed. ’ it’s not her first rodeo. she knew rest was essential. any unnecessary conversation would get yuna too worked up, too hopeful. just as amora’s current behavior was making it very hard for her to think clearly as if she were intoxicated herself.
she shakes the other off of her, readjusting to link arms instead as they pushed into the chaos of the party. again, she found herself blushing, only now she couldn’t find a way to respond without sounding like a blubbering idiot. ‘ keep it together, ’ she was unsure whether this was directed more to herself or amora. ‘ we’ll be out of here soon, okay? ’
for some inexplicable reason, amora always felt drawn to yuna. the spring witch did not get attached to people all too easily, but she knew yuna was different from the beginning. the intensity of their connection, though unspoken of, lingers in the air when they’re together. you could feel it from a mile away, at least amora thought so. she tightens her grip, and another giggle slips through parted lips.
“ you’re funny. what i’d really love is some ice. you ever munch on ice before ? it’s one of the simple things that just makes life totally worth it, ” the pink haired witch spiels, ready to deliver the speech of a lifetime. luckily, she gets distracted before she can continue. “ do i have to go straight to bed ? we should watch a movie, or play a game, or make a pillow fort, or do anything else, ” amora practically begs, gazing up to meet yuna’s eyes.
at her reassuring words, amora offers a faithful nod, “ i trust you completely. ” her mind is still fuzzy as ever, and she wants nothing more than to be alone with the winter witch. for the two of them to be together, no distractions, though her intoxicated state is the biggest distraction of all. now standing upright, arms linked, amora slides her hand down and laces her fingers through yuna’s. just as amora begins to feel like the party would go on for eternity, the exit finally comes into view. she can taste freedom on her tongue. “ over there, ” she yawns, pointing to the door. amora rests her head on yuna’s shoulder as the fatigue finally starts to kick in.

it isn’t until the second knock when ezra finally jolts awake, his neck sore from sleeping at the study table. he had been reading up on a new (exciting) development for a fungus that he hadn’t even realized he had fallen asleep. “it’s late, isn’t it?” he looked at his familiar who was lying adorably at one corner of his bed, his ears laid flat. ezra suppressed the urge to coo at the brown hare (he wouldn’t be pleased, he could tell) and instead made his way towards the door, almost tripping over a bunch of clothes and books littered across the floor. “fuck, i really need to clean up my room. —yes, orion, i will make sure to actually do it this time around.” he glared at his familiar when there was another knock, startling the both of them. the voice that followed after made ezra grinned, who could recognize it anywhere in a heartbeat. “when do you ever take no for an answer, ami?” he replied as soon he opened the door, taking in the sight of the fellow fourth year at his doorway. it’s not unusual to find her there, or for him to end up at hers either, their random escapades going back as far as first year. it’s how they became close until feelings were involved, but that’s something ezra liked to push to the back of his mind, choosing to focus on the now than what happened in the past. looping his arm through amora’s, a surge of excitement ran through him as he smiled down at her. he was never one to say no to a little adventure. “did you have a specific place in mind?”
the sound of the door knob rattling just before the door opens is like music to her ears. a grin graces her lips as she stares at him intently. “ i’m just very persuasive. who could say no to me ? ” she bats her eyes at him, before sliding past him to enter. once inside, she surveys his room briefly, eyes eventually settling on his familiar. she winks a hello. amora feels him link their arms, and she turns to face him. “ you ought to do some spring cleaning. i can help, you know. but anyway, that’s tomorrow’s problem. tonight we’re going to clubbing ! it’s 70′s night, how perfect is that ? ” she can hardly contain her excitement. amora steps away from him and removes her coat, revealing a 70′s themed outfit, then hangs it over the back of a chair. “ you need to change, though, or we’ll look totally out of place. oh, and, i brought some eyeliner and glitter, if you’re down for some makeup ! ” she gleams at him, then shuffles towards his closet to find an outfit she deems acceptable. she rummages through his clothing before settling on pants and a button down shirt. “ leave the top three buttons unbuttoned, ” she instructs, tossing him the clothes. leaving him to change, she escorts herself to his bathroom to examine herself once more. the spring witch was practically drenched in glitter. she was clad in a pink sequined halter neck dress ( which she had found at a thrift store sometime around last halloween ), paired with white go-go boots ending just under the knee. her eye makeup was a colorful mess of glitter and eyeshadow, and she wondered how long it would take to wash the sequins out of her hair. “ ready ? ” she calls through the door that separates them.

closed starter × @rosehvney
the taste of springtime hangs heavy from her tongue, seasoned with bright sunshine and thick undergrowth wending across the expanse of the garden. cuttings of dogwood trees and dandelion seeds float on the back of a warm breeze. springtide has brought scintillating foliage, teeming with bright-colored fruits and vegetables. the garnering is more than generous and all of it is somehow set for instant consumption within a second’s notice. it’s a striking picture of vividness and creation, but something contrasts the picturesque scene and stands out like a hobgoblin to the faerie.
but when has the AUTUMN PREFECT ever looked anything besides out of place ? especially next to someone who encompasses everything one might associate with HEBE while she looks more like the nursemaid to CERBERUS.
diantha shifts from where she had been settled in the earth. she’s cloaked in all black while her hands busy themselves with the most sinister-looking item one could have while sitting in a garden — a rather large forked bone. but the ominous scene is not what one would figure if their ears perked up on the conversation. there is no menacing foreshadowing to behold, but instead just a simple conversation between friends.
“ it’s called a wishbone. humans use it in a popular custom … it’s said that if the bone is broken by two humans, the holder of the longer portion will be entitled to make a wish … ” she offers up the explanation as she holds the bone out towards amora, wordlessly indicating she should hold onto the other side for them to partake in this mortal ritual of sorts. “ perhaps if you can make a wish it’ll be easier for you to … what is it you wanted to do again ? find me an acceptable suitor ? ”
springtime embraces her like a friend she has not seen in ages, and she clings to the gentle breeze like a sweet memory. with the coming of spring, she feels revived, drunk off the very elixir of life. a renewed sense of strength floods her veins, and she cannot help but feel invincible. with both hands pressed against the dirt, she breathes in the air, scents of flora greeting her kindly.
they were an odd pair to look at, but like yin and yang, the witches complemented each other perfectly. amora examines her friend carefully, wondering what interesting artifact she has for her today. the gifts always fascinate her, and she cannot help but feel the same excitement a child feels receiving a new toy. she peeks over diantha’s lap, a meager attempt at capturing a better look, but to no avail, she masks her excitement with good posture and folds her hands onto her lap.
finally, the autumn witch reveals the item, and amora’s face lights up with intrigue. rosy lips curl into a smile, dark eyes enchanted by its meaning. “ oh my gosh, i love it. humans are so fascinating sometimes, ” she remarks, taking a hold of the other side. “ yes, it is my mission to find you your perfect match. and trust me, there are plenty of people who are interested in you. it’s just a matter of finding the right one. i won’t settle for anything besides the best of the best ! but, i’ll still use my wish for this ... just in case my talents fail me. one can never be too sure, ” she jokes.
amora grips her end of the bone tightly, stumbling backwards as she yanks it apart. pink tresses fall out of place, compromising her vision. “ so, who gets the wish ? ” she questions, defeated, through a veil of hair. after hastily shaking the locks out of her eyes, she studies her end of the bone carefully.

she feels electric tonight, as if everything she’s ever wanted is at her fingertips. it is easy for her to become uninspired, and she knows this. it’s why she must seize her euphoria while it lasts. luckily, she knows just how to do it, and who she needs to accompany her. if she really thought hard about it, maybe it was strange being such close friends with someone she was once so intimate with. her first love. you never forget your first love. but over time, it got easier to be friends again. they were always so good together before the romance, anyway, and she has come to realize that genuine connections don’t come into your life that often. when you find one, you have to do everything in your power to keep it in your life. and so, she finds herself walking the familiar path to ezra’s apartment. the quiet night is full of possibility. she has a bounce to her step, and her eyes face forward with determination, until finally, she finds herself at his doorstep, ready to explode. but she doesn’t, instead she knocks twice. the late hour has never stopped her from bothering him in the past, and tonight is no different. for a moment, she wonders if maybe he’s asleep, but she shrugs the thought away quickly. she needs him with her. amora knocks again, this time harder. “ i know it’s late, but i’m feeling so inspired and alive. so what i mean is that we need to go to the human world right this instant. and i absolutely will not take no for an answer ! ” she speaks into the door.

light steps make their way quickly across the street, shoes against the pavement making the sound of a girl on a mission. or maybe it’s not exactly a mission as you would normally call it, but she had to quickly answer her professors questions at the end of class, evade the senior who was trying to ask her about when the roses would be ready for his date next week, and get to the cafe on time, so she thinks that should qualify. she was already within sight of the familiar cafe when she gets the text, so she doesn’t answer it in the interest of getting there quicker, practically bursting through the doors as she spots a familiar pretty face, raising one hand up in a quick wave before walking over. “amora!”
“sorry i’m late! you know that one senior who’s been trying to ask out tina thomas forever? well apparently he’s suddenly doing it now and he wanted some roses to help.” she loops her arm around her friend’s, so genuinely excited to see her that she naturally launches into her story. but she’s sure amora wouldn’t mind — if she couldn’t tell her, then who else could she tell? “well i mean personally,” a pause, then she leans in to whisper to her friend. “personally i think he’s a little too good for tina if he’s going through all this trouble, but the heart wants what it wants, right?” celia shakes her head, an easy smile on her lips. “and right now my heart wants a chocolate croissant and some coffee. did you order yet?”
amora’s face lights up upon her friends arrival. it feels as though she hasn’t seen the girl in ages, despite how frequently they hang out. but so much happens in the time they spend apart, and there is always so much catching up to do. with celia by her side, her smile widens. “ you’re actually not even late, my class just let out early today. which, like, i couldn’t be happier about. i thought i was gonna die if i had to spend another minute in that classroom, ” she explains. celia’s next words surprise her so much, she lets out a gasp. “ what ? are you serious ? ” she lets out a frustrated sigh. “ i’ve been trying to set him up with this cute summer witch all semester long. how could he betray my efforts like that ? ” her voice lowers into a whisper, “ and for tina thomas of all people ? there’s no saving him now. ”
“ i honestly can’t believe what i’m hearing. well, i can, because you’re the most trustworthy source ever, but you know what i mean. i just don’t think those two are a good match, ” she shakes her head with visible disappointment. “ please, i’d never order without you ! we are next, though, ” she nudges celia forward. “ you should go first. i still haven’t quite decided what i want. i’m thinking passionfruit tea andddd ... maybe a blueberry muffin ? or should i get a banana nut muffin ? ” she asks, partially hoping celia will make the impossible decision for her. “ hey, that barista is really cute, right ? they keep looking at you, ” amora whispers, always trying to play matchmaker.

SNEAKING OUT OF HER DORM and tiptoeing through the autumn house is not an uncommon feat for our little juliet. just the other night she was hiding out in the cemetery past curfew, none of this is new. but sometimes the autumn witch likes to place more importance on getting some sleep rather than meeting up with a friend or getting into more shenanigans in the middle of the night. tonight, fortunately or not, will not be one of them. she slips out of the huge entrance doors and sits at the bottom of the steps, waiting for her friend.
❛ i was actually gonna ignore your text, you know, ❜ she says upon the spring witch’s arrival, waving her phone in the air for extra emphasis. jules’ tone holds no malice — more grogginess, if anything. ❛ but i didn’t wanna get fomo so i came out for you. ❜ she stands up and brushes herself off. ❛ what’s the move, ami ? got something cooking in that big brain of yours ? ❜ @rosehvney
amora is accustomed to staying up late. although she claims to be a morning person, the witch seems to be awake and thriving at all hours. juliet is someone who often keeps her company during these late hours, but only after some nagging from amora's behalf. she has mastered the art of sneaking out of the dorms, although it has become so easy, she’s starting to think spring witches are just less strict. whatever the reason, it works in her advantage and she would be silly to complain. amora makes her way to the autumn dorms swiftly, like an agile deer on a mission.
she reaches her destination, a grin gracing her lips at the sight of juliet. “ please, if you ignored me i would’ve just blown up your phone ‘til you agreed to meet me, ” she rolls her eyes playfully. amora holds out her hand in front of her. “ ah, my dear, take my hand, and i shall lead you, ” she says in the most wise tone she can muster, then bursts into quiet laughter. “ truth be told, i don’t know yet. but tonight’s a big night, i can feel it in my gut. and the vibes never lie. i’m thinking we head to campus, there’s a specific classroom calling my name, ” her eyes flicker with mischief.

♡ . * 𝒚𝒖𝒏𝒂.
it was unlike the witch to let her mind wander. recently she’d found herself developing the annoying habit - catching her eyes glaze over as they fixated on her own unmoving hands, or finding herself staring… wistfully out a window. it was unbecoming of yuna and she refused to acknowledge the true cause of her behavior. that is until that cause became unavoidable.
given the time of night, there were very few possibilities for who could be ringing her. she considered them all, almost hoping it was anyone but… amora. it’d be a lie to say the messages didn’t thrill her just a bit, that it did not please her that out of all people amora chose her to rely on. she relished in the feeling despite the cruelty of the situation. unintentional cruelty, she should add, it wasn’t as if amora had any idea of the effect she had on yuna.
be there soon!! she instantly deleted the response. hang tight, okay? too concerned. coming.
and despite the other’s location sending a chill down her spine, she arrived. amora. she thought very hard, envisioning the witch’s face. incantation-less magic had never been a strength of hers, much less something requiring so much emotional energy, yet yuna could always track amora’s aura in a crowd.
‘ there you are. ’ it was a relief to find her alone, she’d had her fill of people for at least a week after wading through the drunken masses outside. ‘ you know, i don’t think i’ve ever rushed to summer house like this in my life. i must’ve made record time coming from my dorms. ’ she mused, mostly to herself as she leveled with her friend on the floor. it was a concerning sight but not an unfamiliar one. ‘ do you need water? do you want to leave? you can sleepover at mine. ’
with her back slumped against the wall, her eyes flicker as she focuses on each passing footstep. she decides to play a game as she waits: coming up with elaborate assumptions about a person’s life based solely on the shoes they’re wearing. it was something to help her stay conscious. her position on the floor was perfect for the exercise. first, she notices a girl in a pair of mary jane’s with lace socks underneath. she’s more on the reserved side, likes to draw in her free time. prefers coffee to tea, wavy hair over straight, and soft cover books to hard cover, she thinks to herself. amora is pleased with her assumptions. even in her inebriated state, her guesses are plausible. however, after just one round of this brilliant game she created, amora decides she’s bored.
she wants to go somewhere else. the party no longer seems interesting, neither do any of its attendees. however, her eyes light up when she remembers yuna is on the way. she hates to play the part of a damsel in distress, yet loves that yuna is always the one coming to her rescue. the winter witch had an inexplicably irresistible quality about her, and amora couldn’t seem to get enough. ‘ there you are ’ the words echo in her head, and she begins to wonder if she’s dreaming. she looks up to meet her eyes, a wide smile glossing over her lips. “ you came ! ” she nearly squeals. “ i’d love some water, ” she gasps at the realization, “ and i’m dying to get out of here. this party is so boring. your place sounds much more fun. ” she pushes herself off the ground, clinging onto yuna for balance. “ you smell amazing, ” she states, leaning in closer to catch another whiff.
