Hey! Have you read the first chapters? You didnt? What! Read it here!! I . II . III . IV.

Hmm? You said you like shii’z writing?! Omg me too! Check out her masterlist!

He let out a heavy breath before he ripped his mask off of his face. He wasn't supposed to be out alone considering he was the new crowned emperor. But he was, and he was searching for you and he wasn't gonna give up until he did. He wore heavy clothing to try and hide his identity from others, and a bag that slung around his shoulder consisting of his journal, water, and other things he might need. He settles for the night in a rock. A rock with a beautiful view. He has been on the road for so long, he's forgotten how long, he didn't really care to remember either, considering it would help motivate to find you. He walks around the rock, searching for anything to give him clues of you or if you might've been here.

As he looked around, It was clear that someone had been there before. He looked at the bad attempt of making a bed, but he didn't touch it. His eyes slightly closed from trying to study the bed, there were still prints of a body, maybe two, on the bed. He hunches over. There was a piece of hair, as disgusting as it sounds…he picked it up. It was the same as yours, he took a rather long pause before thinking, maybe he should smell the bed? No, what if he smells something he doesn't like. He shook his head before looking at the single strand of hair that was in his hand. He sat down on the bed, setting the hair gently aside before taking off his glove and putting the strand back in his palm. Everybody's hair could be similar, he thought. He let out a sigh before looking ahead of him. He didn't know what time it was, but all he knew was that he was tired and heart broken. He didn't miss his home, not at all, not with you not there.

He put his glove and his mask back on before placing the hair into his bag. Out of everything that was going on, at least the view was beautiful. He stood and walked to the view of the rock, carelessly taking footsteps before he sighed and dropped down, his legs open and his elbows on his knees as he took in the view. He let in a deep breath. ¨tired. I am tired¨ he let out in a whisper. He fought his sleep often because he knew it would make him less confident and he would grow to slack, but sometimes he just couldn't take it anymore. The yawns leaving his lips, difficulty holding onto the hooks that latched onto the sandworm, but he thought he could finally settle here for a while, as a reward for finding a piece of hair that have a 5 percent chance of being yours.

As he watched the view, he thought of you. He didn't cry as much anymore. When he cried, he cried alone in private. And during that time, he cried until he couldn't anymore. Every time he saw Irulan it made him sick to his stomach. As much as he wanted to blame her, he couldn't. His heart was too good and he knew better than to let a weak desperate moment turn into anger. ¨why did i offer?¨ he would think over and over, countless times, wondering how could he be so careless. But he wasn't, he didn't want to marry her for the reason of love, just wanted to keep her safe as a promise to the retired and overthrown emperor. Thinking about it made him question his character, who has he grown to be? hed remembered what you said, he always thought of the smart and wise things you had to say.

¨its okay to feel how you feel, paul¨ you looked at him with a pity smile on your face while your hand was on his cheek. He had another nightmare. He didn't want it to be true. ¨this is gonna make me go crazy, y/n¨ paul whispered back, leaning into y/ns touch. ¨don't let it fool you, don't let it phase you, don't let it change you¨ you replied. At times, all paul wanted to do was give up. He didnt wanna be the chosen one. It was all too much. He could stay here forever, with you. For all eternity if he could.

Paul sighs and looks to the side. Remembering what you said, he wished things weren't so quiet.he laughed to himself, all the dreams he had of the future, but none of you. He sat alone, all alone, not one book, not one sound, just him, by himself. He felt empty, he wants you, he needs you, he needed someone to make him feel complete again, but days spread thick and long, bored, fighting himself back and forth between hope for finding you and wondering if you had just moved on. He wished he had a dream of you, of your blue eyes glistening in the sun, of your laugh, He wished it was so vivid that he touched you, that he could control his dream and talk to you, make love to you, but he had nothing, nothing at all. Nothing to remember you by, just a stupid suspicious piece of hair, tears brimmed his eyes, he needs you. There was no one he could pray to if he was the chosen one. No matter how hard he fought, how he tried to distract himself from work, it all lead up to one person, not one other thought, never out of sight out of mind, he knew what he wanted and he fell so deep he felt like he just couldn't grasp it anymore, how was he supposed to live his life without you. Your soft gentle hands grazing his face and answering the stupid and goofy questions he asked. There was no one else and he knew that now, didn't even find anyone else attractive. Lonesome nights, he didn't want to be on his own, ever again. Once he found you he vowed to never let you go, no matter how loud your voice is, no matter if you kicked him down, your in his heart and he just cannot let go, but how long could he search? Huh? How long would it be until he found you? When will he hear your voice again? When will he kiss you again? He didn't even say I love you before you walked off, for all he knew, that was his last goodbye.

On the first day, he acted as if nothing happened, but then he realized you weren't there, he couldn't pick at your dinner plate, he could hear your laughs, he couldn't feel your pity hits after he whispers a dirty joke. He had no one to talk to, no one to ask him if he was okay. Was he...okay? Had he known he was okay? Or has he grown so long to the point where he wasnt and he just didn't know it. He wished he said more, begged you to stay, cried about it, weeped about it, there was so much he could've done and he didn't, he only said a short explanation of how he was waiting for you and now he's on the run, on the search. He was so tired, so tired of looking at the same spice on the ground, carving on the rock of the walls. He wanted to be next to you, holding your head in his shoulder, hear your soft snores as you slept like there wasn't a care in the world. He'd never expect this, a life without you. He sighed and shook the thought out of his head, noticing he was in too deep and he wiped the tears that slowly dropped from his face, letting out a sniffle as he looked ahead. He didn't want to be too deep, of course he missed you, but he wanted to find you with a clear conscience, a healthy mind. He needed something to keep him going. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked to the ground. He placed a palm down and leaned closer to the floor. What is this? This imprint on the floor? Looks familiar.

He looked over it, careful not to move or make any sudden movements. ¨y/n?¨ he muttered. Any normal person would've thought paul as crazy, looking like he's searching for spice on the floor, and then wanting to jump and cheer, because, well, because what?

The necklace

The necklace Paul got for her. It was there! Clear as day. What a time to cheer! He couldn't fight off the smile on his lips. She's alive! She's alive! What a joy, out for two years! Been all around Arrakis, and at such a time he was going to give up, go home, force himself to get comfortable with his new situation, you were out there. Shall he go home? To tell stilgar and have a celebration? Sweet red wine sounded like heaven. He wiped his eyes as finally, finally tears came down. Tears of joy, he waited for this moment, oh so long! He was so happy he could take the dirt and put it in his bag also.

He laughed, he found it funny how he grew so tired of being next to his queen that he went and found you himself after he told you to come back. He grew impatient. He took out his journal and wrote, writing his life away as he thought of you, as the warmness of love and hope crowded his vision and spreaded throughout his body. This is all he wanted, to find you. And he was so close, so, so close.

He hadn't felt like this in a long time. He got up and collected the dirt from the necklace in his hand and watched it fall from his gloves. Looking around and seeing the footsteps, all yours he believed! He looked before following the footsteps, he followed them foot by foot until he was in the sand again. He hunched over, trying to search for the footsteps as they were getting lost from the wind of the sand until he couldn't anymore. He stood and pulled out his compass for the direction that you went. When it pointed he saw and lifted his head in the direction you went. This was it, this was the final piece, this was the end.

You were home.

[freminet-writings]

i feel like we aren’t often enough considering how adorable vampire fremi would be.. vapire reader is all well and good but like.. hear me out.

sweet boy only ever drinks from blood bags and even then he feels bad and tries to stick to replacement blood/animal blood, and it’s making him weak, arle is concerned about his mission efficiency and tells lyney, who comes to you

inviting him into a nice night. a movie and some snacks, and the poor thing is so obviously worn down. sub par meals aren’t good to him

coaxing him onto your lap, reassuring him you don’t mind, he barely weighs anything. and pulling his head closer to your neck..

he doesn’t even realize he’s drooling at first, and when he does he’d freak out, trying to scramble off your lap while apologies fly out of his lips

when you eventually manage to get him to eat. the noises of him sucking and gasping in your ear. squirming on your lap, trying to grab at you and pull you closer

stroking his sides as he feeds. hed be so cute about it. little whines and gasps and hiccups, pulling back to lick at the skin near the wound, not even noticing that he’s getting hard, grinding against you unconsciously

he’d only even notice when he cums in his shorts, squealing against your neck as pleasure he didn’t even notice comes to a crescendo, trying to apologize for only a few minutes before you grab his hips and return the favour, fucking into his cute ass as he screams from overstimulation

idk if you wanted me to write this or not but i did a little 🥺 vampire freminet can have all my blood I don't mind bbg, i literally love this ur brain is so big

freminet was getting weaker, the blood from animals were just not as satisfying to him, but being the sweetheart he is, he doesn't want to hurt anyone with hia fangs, or drain them too much!

arlecchino of course, ever so observet of her children, knew that this would become a problem, if he's too weak to fight then he wouldn't be sent on missions, she told lyney to contact someone would be willing to be drank from

which is what started the two of you, sitting next to each other, with him looking sickingly pale, he had been avoiding looking at you the whole time, trying to pay attention on the movie that he couldn't even focus on

you crossed your arms and shook your head, taking matters into your own hands, you grabbed his arm and pulled him to your lap, hearing a weak squeak from him

you put your hand on his head, leaning your own back as a invitation "come on, you know you want it, i don't mind, really, that's why I'm here" you talked gently, making sure he knew your consent

"b-but...i could...hurt you" you shook your head gently "it's okay, it won't be anything to me, come on now..." you pushed his head slowly into your neck

he breathes in your scent and his eyes blow wide, a soft whimper leaving as drool gathers in his mouth, he starts leaning forward but stops, trying to move away "i-i shouldn't! I can't...!" you sigh and just pull him back in, he whines as his lips make contact with your soft neck

he can't move from the way your hand is forcing him closer, and he can't control his urges any longer, taking a deep bite, piercing through your skin easily, he gasps and holds onto you, eagerly licking and sucking away, blood coating his lips as he moaned ate the taste

"Mnph...oh...so...good" he couldn't think of anything else except how good you taste, your blood so fresh and warm, unlike the cold and old animal pouches he drank from, he tried moving eve closer, his senses completely taken over he didnt even register the way his hips began moving

his cock growing hard as he grinded into your thigh unknowingly, the sucking and licking growing faster, hands gripping your shoulders, his hips moved faster, the feeling so overwhelmingly pleasurable

he licked once more ashis hips jerked, cumming in his shorts as he gasps and moans, his eyes wide open, looking more lively than ever, it's only now he realizes what he's done and he burns red with shame

"i-i'm so sorry... please, i didn't mean to do all of that...i couldn't control myself" he hung his head low, tears brimming his pretty eyes, you didnt respond and he felt even more guilty

he was about to apologize when you pulled him down, pressing him against the couch and lifting one of his legs "h-huh? Ngh-!" he gasps as you slowly pushed inside of him, his own cock still leaking and twitching

"come on, you got something, so i should get something in return, shouldn't i?"

there was still your blood on his mouth as you kissed around his neck, thrusting into him, his eyes shutting tightly from the overwhelming pleasure and pain, still sensitive from a moment ago

"ah-! mnh~! w-wait, Nggh..." he could barely speak as you pounded into his ass, his tongue lulling out between his fangs as you fucked him "so good..." you grunted, he couldn't do anything as you pinned him down and took him ruthlessly

his moans became louder, turning into short screams as you, clenching around you he came again, squirming under you in a weak effort to escape, but his hand held onto yours and his hips moved onto yours

his mind was still foggy with the taste of your blood, and now he couldn't even think as you fucked into him, he wanted to keep this feeling forever, even as his cock twitched from overstimulation

his legs wrapped around your waist to push you deeper, hitting all sorts of spots that made his vision go white, your thrusts became sloppier, he grinded against you until you stopped, giving him a final thrust as you cum drips deep inside of him

he shivering from the feeling and his legs shook, gasping for air while you wiped drool and blood off his face "that wasn't so bad now, was it?" he just nodded while slowly calming down, maybe he could drink from a human as long as it was you

Swap au nonny: no plans to write this at all, so go ahead an write away =)

But yeah, Valentino thought Vox had it in the bag--now he believes that Alastor doesn't deserve death, but should be someone's bitch for eternity (he should have been Vox's, but seeing how the deer acts with Vox's stuff, he would probably like that). Velvette doesn't know what to think. She misses Vox terribly, and hates Alastor, and is very upset with Valentino for not going to Vox's distress call--she definitely would have gone, but wouldn't have made it in time as her true demon form doesn't have flight. Velvette basically did most of the work for all 3 sectors of the Vees while Alastor was punishing Valentino and Valentino's souls, and becomes friends with Niffty during those first 4 years. Once Alastor takes back the reigns and Val gets back to work, Velvette goes back to what she used to do too. Like things are mostly unchanged for her. (Mostly because she befriended Niffty and eventually Rosie. Her doing that saved her)

As for Vox's sector? His giant monitor room is clean by Niffty and is visited by Alastor once or twice a month, where Alastor ponders what Vox exactly did in the room. His office has been taken over by Alastor, his last ideas and drawings framed and safely kept in Alastor's bayou space. Vox's contracted souls continued to work for Voxtech...until a day after Alastor realized Vox was back, and that's when Vox gently pulled on their chains and called them to him. (Not like there was many left. Alastor did actually land a killing blow. Vox had to use some of his contracted souls to heal himself, destroying them in the process. But Vox lived, and that's what matters.)

Alastor does say I love you to the head he sleeps with in his bed! Also, I'm sorry, and I didn't mean too, and please come back to me. I'll be better. I'll never hurt you again, my love.

Vox does have PTSD. It's so bad that he has to take relaxation meds to go to the overlord meeting (since it's required for both allied overlords to show now) and Alastor will definitely be there, with his ally Rosie. It's fine though he has Husk.

YEAHHHHHHH YIPPEE THANK YOU NONNY I WONT DISAPPOINT I PROMISE!!!! (question for writing purposes btw. do charlie/vaggie know that vox is there on behalf of lucifer or does he just Show Up)

Urghm. wughd. imgnonna. Throw up. what the FUCK !!!!!!! what thde FUCK...................!!!!!!!!!! valvel going the FUCK through it while theyre both mourning their best friends death and harbouring so sososo much guilt from it all...if hell had therapists theyd need it more than anyone else please someone put the vees together in a cage so they can hug it out :(

oh god als such a fucking freak. i just know hed keep all of voxs old shit like pristine and clean and just looking like it was preserved in time or something, even when hes also making voxtek employees come in to do constant upgrades so that it seems more like something vox would do. trying to hold on to the pieces of him that he still has left while changing them to make it feel as if vox never left in the first place... and also, once alastor finds out vox is alive again, does he jump to the idea of having someone infiltrate the hotel to keep an eye on him or something? cause if he sends his shadow, sure thats not something they can get rid of, but he also doesnt know how well vox will respond to his shadow- even if they were close, alastor *did* kill vox nearly permanently, so is this potentially how the hotel gets niffty?

banging my head against the wall WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE SAYS SHIT LIKE 'ill be better' AND 'ill never hurt you again, just please come back to me'.... makes me think of those like, manhwas or whatever where the mc goes back in time to save someone they loved but treated like shit. they make my heart hurt what the FUCK nonny why would you do this to me.... urgh. the worst part is knowing alastor is that he does honestly probably mean it but in like His way. the toxic doomed yaoi way. like he's going to kidnap vox and keep him by his side forever if it means the other won't get hurt and almost leave again. which is usually a good thing because again. freak4freak radiostatic enthusiast here . but for swap!vox... oh my poor dear. he's probably freaking the fuck out whenever he sees al. is there even any ending where radiostatic gets a happy end :sob:

ough i can imagine husk just like standing protectively in front of vox during the meetings or something, like if rosie tries to get close to him or something he tells her firmly to leave because even though they were friends, vox cant even look her in the eye anymore because in his eyes, she *knew* what al did and still stayed by his side. she knew he killed vox and probably condoned it, and she'd probably help him do it all over again if they could- or at least that's what he thinks, but she really is just trying to get close to him again and cant understand why he's pulling back so hard. and the image of al trying to approach vox after a meeting or something only to be met with val and vels interference as husk takes vox and flies him back to the hotel- valvel get punished severely afterward for keeping them apart, obviously, but theyd do *anything* to keep vox safe especially because last time, when they didnt do enough, he almost died forever

[sunshowersanddandelionwine]

okay no but im still not done thinking about fiber artist soap (part two of this)

(i crochet mainly so most of my knowledge is there, but if any knitters/weavers/etc want to chime in please do!)

the first time he ever saw anything to do with fibercraft, he was really little. maybe six or seven. he found his nan sitting at a spinning wheel, humming to herself, turning a mass of fluffy white into even, careful strands of soft yarn. curious as he was, he couldnt stop himself from coming closer and watching. asking questions. she just smiled, pulled him into her lap, and let him watch from there.

the first time he tried to make something wtih the finished product, it didnt quite come out how he expected. what was supposed to be a scarf looked anything but. it was wonky and misshapen, with dropped stitches and tension all over the place. but despite the awkward end result, he actually finished it! it took a few tries, a fair bit of frogging, and a couple of breaks where he had to step back and do something else, but he finished it! his sister lit up like a christmas tree when he gave it to her, and still has it tucked away somewhere.

he never really talked about his little hobby once he enlisted. its not that he was ashamed of it, but there wasnt a lot of down time during basic and what little unscheduled time was better spent elsewhere. he did have a stash of yarn and a few hooks and needles tucked under his bunk, and during nights when he couldnt sleep hed pull out a skein or two and work until either his mind stopped racing or the sun broke over the horizon, whichever came first.

the first person to really notice his little hobby was gaz. they spent a lot of time together on and off duty, its only natural that hed notice. after a bit of good natured ribbing, gaz is more than a little impressed at the speed he can work up a piece. he even asked for a lesson or two, with varying results.

price is next, after soap gets laid out during a mission. hes sitting next to the shitty medical cot when gaz brings him a lumpy bag and chucks it at soaps head. hes not expected him to pull out a set of knitting needles and a few balls of yarn, or for soap to start chattering away with gaz as his hands work quickly.

ghost notices when he sees soap working on a different project almost every day. one day its a pair of colorful socks, the next a chunky blanket, the next the beginnings of a sweater sleeve. he works with an intensity that he usually reserves for a particularly complicated explosive, the tip of his tongue peeking out from between his lips. ghost rallies the courage to ask when he sees price wearing a sweater he could have sworn soap had been working on last week.

his fingers are awkward and fumble with the hook, yarn getting knotted and tangled as he pulls the last row of loops apart with a frustrated huff. but soap is there to gently guide his hands in place, telling him how to hold the yarn with the right tension, how to start a new row without dropping stitches, all the things that he himself was taught by his ever patient nan.

fiber artist soap who shows his love through his work, and who works his love in every stitch <3

Listen I'm not entirely versed on the Hazbin lore so forgive my bold and very fucking half assedly researched theory here but

Alastor is "on a leash" yet somehow manages to freely wander around and offer his services to this Hotel that literally no one has heard of except for maybe Charlie's family?

Alastor proceeded to act all nonchalantly about how he likes watching people fail(which, fair, considering what I've seen of his character) and sure sure it makes perfect sense why hed pick such a pathetic place like that on a surface level glance, except he could have chosen to just... watch all of hell.

They're all losers down there. Why bother with Charlie's idea specifically?

And why the vendetta against SATAN HIMSELF?? pettiness while under someone elses boot is a very dangerous game to play, so he has to have someone decently on par with Lucifer to turn around and act like that

Paired with Lillith in heaven? I can only really assume that it's her who's got a hold on Alastor's leash, telling him he'll have whatever the fuck he wants so long as Charlie- and by extension, Lucifer's, dream doesn't come true

I dont have much evidence to back this up other than Lucifer had tried this before. Probably before Charlie's time, resulting in the split between himself and Lillith, which was probably a higher up in Hell meddling on Lillith's part(considering I THINK its confirmed they still love each other?? Unsure)

Anyways, I think for the sake of "stability" and for the whole happiness of heaven, Lillith has instructed Alastor to keep Charlie from reaching her goals, and that's why he was such an utter shit bag against Adam, lost his mind because he probably knows that lovely snake man I do not know the name of had been redeemed and sent to heaven, and Charlie's plan can work

But listen, I don't know the first real thing about this show other than the fact that I LOVE its musical numbers, so take everything I say with a pinch of salt

#i do like hazbin hotel #just havent sat down to watch it because of exams #but these are my thoughts from what I have glimpsed at #hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #uh... those are all the tags i know??

[dapper-shipping-forever]

Another quick story. Wanted to write something for Muse coughing flowers, and also show a softish sibling interaction. Again, haven't finished this series, I'm getting a feel for writing Jacks and he may not be totally accurate here, lmao

Anyway, enjoy reading. Reblogs always appreciated !

💜💜💜

---

Jacks was bored. Restless energy urged him out of his bedroom, lead him to wander without purpose. He walked outside, met by crisp air and the scent of the garden it carried to him. 

It was well into night now. The garden quiet except for the occasional muted rustlings lit by the moon and the stars. But getting deeper in the garden, where he thought he had been alone now, he heard coughing; a delicate voice unleashing ragged, heavy coughs. That made him stop. He wouldn't have to look in order to know who it was.

Brushing some overgrown flowers from an opening in the hedges, he found exactly who he expected. His sister, the Muse, hunched with her elbows pressed to her thighs on a stone bench amidst the vegetation.

He wasn't surprised about this sight. Nor from the thick rivers of tears dripping across her face. The blood on her apple red lips was the least surprising thing, the flowers glistening with the substance were accents to the macabre sight. Various different flowers littered the grass everywhere in this section, as if somebody had cleaned out a flower shop. He never payed attention to flower language much, but he already knew all these flowers had some sort of relationship to love.

He stopped walking a few feet from her, grass barely a whisper beneath his feet. She'd noticed him before he got to this section, and the way she looked to him was dull. He regarded her with a look that appeared equally impassive. He'd seen this same type of expression tons of times. He'd caused numerous women to cry tears like those before, left a broken path of their bodies in his wake. Though, he also knew these tears weren't exactly the same. The other women would cry tears of rejected love, his sister cried tears of love that hadn't bloomed at all.

He wouldn't bother with pointless introductions, placing his hands onto his hips "Who was it now?" He asked first. Definitely that baker boy; she always had a sweet tooth but recently she'd been favoring some new shop; hed walked by and seen the guy who worked there, lean but with muscles built from hefting bags of ingredients around and dark hair in some stupid windswept look, exactly her type of guy. Also, he'd tried one of the pastries she'd bought, they were inferior to her usual go to's.

She let her head sway to the side, sullen expression not meeting his gaze exactly. "The boy in the bakery." She says, voice ragged from the thorns that had scratched her throat.

Yeah, called it. He sighed. His sister wasn't like him. He saw no use pursuing love. To him, toying with emotions was something of a game for him; he could string women along, make them think he felt something more and leave them tossed aside without any issue. Gill was made of softer stuff than he was. She chased love like it was all that kept her afloat. It was an obsession. She got crushes easily and chased after her newest fixations. But she hasn't managed to grab hold of that feeling. "Finally realized he's not 'the one'?"

She furrowed her brows, face twisting into something that he could call pouty if it wasn't closer to deeply upset. "No, he wasn't. Did you come out here to rub it in, Jacks?"

Shit, she was agreeing with him; she is upset. He knew why. Because she often chased that love, however she knew it was unattainable as she is now. They couldn't love, whether they wanted to or not it was practically a pipe dream for a fate. Like his own blood stained kiss that crushed anybody foolish enough to think he would love them, anytime she thought she could love somebody it wounded her. If she flew too close to the sun with someone she liked then flowers would continue growing inside her throat until finally she quit. Whether or not they loved her never mattered, only her true love wouldn't cause her to spit out the thorns. "I came because you were being noisy." He said, arms crossed nonchalant. He looked above her head dispassionately, but his eyes flickered back to her again. The blood on her chin was diluted by her tears combining into a watery red mess on her. He blew out a breath again. "Damn it, can't have somebody seeing you looking this pathetic and it gets reflected on me." He can't just watch this.

He takes out a handkerchief, stomping closer until he can grab her face and jerk it towards him again. "Hey, get your paws off me !" She screeches, trying to turn her face away as he presses his handkerchief on the blood marking her lips. She's like a child protesting having her face cleaned.

"Stop squirming, moron." Hes rough, but not in a way that'd actually hurt her as he wipes her face, cleaning it of both blood and tears. They're both quiet for a couple minutes as he gets all traces off, his handkerchief taking the stains. "Can't imagine what you saw in him." He mutters. "Ugh, you're a mess." Like a child.

She stayed silent at first, eyes continuing not to look at him just yet. "I like the way he decorates cakes." She admits softly.

"You have weird tastes." He cheeks her appearance and deems it clean. He releases her face, stepping back again.

She sits back, but her posture stays slumped as if all energy was sapped from it. "I mean it, brother. He puts every bit of his energy into those creations; they're gorgeous. He's a fountain of creativity. You can tell he loves it." She cracks a bit, saying love, like it hurt.

He raises an eyebrow; she always does go for artistic types. "Yeah, well if you ask me he looked like an idiot; bet you that pretty face isn't cut out for any more than making subpar pastries. Seriously, sister, are your taste buds as twisted as your taste in romance? That stuff was sugar coated mud."

She lets out a low, single laugh. It's not exactly cheerful, but he sees her start smiling just a little. "You're terrible. Their food isn't all that bad." She sits a bit taller. She actually looks at him, bright eyes meeting his.

He shrugs. "If that's what you're into." He shifts his feet, palming his soiled handkerchief. "You know, this was a nice handkerchief. Now it's got your crummy blood dirting it." He waves it in front of her, showing off how the once white cloth has become red.

She huffs, her annoyance at her brother temporarily overriding how upset she'd been about her recent romantic quest. "Alright, Jacks; I can get you a new one, prince of being a pain in my ass."

He shoves the dirty fabric into his pocket. "As if; I have enough money to get my own." It's not like he was actually annoyed about the handkerchief, better that be dirtied than leaving her sitting with that muck on her; not like he'd actually say that. "Are we just going to twiddle our thumbs outside or can we go back in now, huh? You look exhausted, Gillian; go to bed and stop moping about some random chef."

She stands, rolling her eyes. "Hes a baker." Her hands swipe at her skirt, dusting it off. Flowers tumble off her lap as she rises from the bench."

"There's a difference?" He teases.

She shakes her head. Trudging along the path, Gill walks a few steps ahead while Jacks follows at a lazy pace.

It's when they're back inside, standing in the hall, that she stops. "He loved me." She says.

"What are you talking about now?" He asks her.

"The baker man; he did love me. I saw it in the way we spoke to each other; I wanted to love him as well." She turns her head to look back at him across her shoulder. There's no more tears for the romance, but the deep hole behind her eyes told him she won't forget that. The determination made it plain she wasn't going to stop trying to grasp love too, that went unsaid.

Jacks shook his head. "Good thing I've got more handkerchiefs." He sure got saddled with a troublesome little sister, hasn't he.

They both kept walking. Later they'd go back to their standard arguing, and they'd both deny having any sort of vulnerable whatever. That kind of stuff wasn't necessary to say aloud.

Rolling in 10 hrs late but— 27, 28 Caine, 17, 34 for Cecilia? And B for all ur Steps, if you don’t mind :)

morning! thank you for the ask :D 

27. What causes them to feel dread? 

the fun thing about caine is that hes got really good instincts. its only heightened with hark (over 30 precog im p sure?) since hark encouraged him to listen to their gut. so if somethings about to go wrong, yeah, the dread is kicking in and theyre nope-ing the fuck out of there (the only exception to this is the casino scene). but there can also be false alarms if he disassociates hard enough, which is becoming more frequent lately. their paranoia+growing insomnia just adds to all of it. basically they just feel dread half the time,,, but also a more tangible thing that causes them to feel dread would probably be ortegas mind. if theyre in the wrong headspace, ortega brings back too many bad memories for them to feel safe.

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? 

hmmm,,,, im not sure! it really depends on why the other person is lying about it ig, and how severe/urgent the unpleasant truth is. by default he tends to prefer the truth, but its mostly for informations sake. for example, with argent, they Really wouldve preferred not knowing what she was capable of. now that the cats out of the bag hes even more paranoid, especially since they have no information on her to use to protect himself. meanwhile, with the autopsy pics, they appreciated chen telling them what happened because it gave them a better idea of what happened while they were gone, and in their eyes chen had no obligation to tell them (plus they got some free bonus info about the kind of contacts chen has which is really useful too). basically, if he thinks he needs it to do things better or more efficiently, hell be ticked off about somebody withholding the truth from him, and vice versca if he thinks the lie would be more beneficial to him instead. either way though, theyre good at keeping their emotions in check, so hed be fine getting the unpleasant truth either way.

17. Are they easily embarrassed?

nope! not at all. i mean, if she hyped herself up and managed to fail spectacularly, then yeah, i could see her getting majorly embarrassed. but thats p much one of the few situations i could imagine her feeling like that. ceci isnt known for shame– shes extremely blunt, to the point of being insensitive, and shes willing to do a lot for a quick kick. except,,,,,hmmmm,, argent making a comment or stealing a quick kiss when she didnt expect it and managing to fluster her,,,,,, please hold while i experience the visionsTM.

34. How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? 

oof. i think prehb the guilt of what she left behind was definitely there, but it got buried under the satisfaction of being free and having fun for once. nowadays, she still lives by those principles, that no matter what happened at least shes here now, but this time around theres an added layer of her actively trying to forget. if she does something she genuinely regrets, its still getting buried, but itll just claw right back to her in inopportune moments. most of the time though, guilt is getting tossed right back out the window so it doesnt disturb her happy fun loving times. no, ortega, no, finch, she is NOT repressing, she is simply being #goofysilly and will not stand for regret ruining her vibe.

B) What inspired you to create them?

speaking for my general process with all my steps: im rather predictable when creating characters. lots of them follow the same molds, they just tackle different storylines, and the differing plots are what makes them all different characters. so when making my steps, i ended up using those same character archetypes and taking them to their logical conclusions based on what choices the game offered. it makes it easier for me to imagine how they react, and its fun to tack on a slightly different trait to the mold and see what happens. ultimately, they all fall somewhere on the extreme ends of the "good/evil" spectrum, but with an added bit of ✨spice✨ from the other end to get them going into fully fledged characters. these are my inspiration/archetype for each individual step:

Caine- being an imported character for the exile if, i already had his character in mind when making him! in exile, they were very much meant to be the stoic leader character that was just beginning to doubt what he fought for. the problem when i tried to put them in fhr was. chen. chen i love you but holy shit it was so hard to make him unique and interesting when you were literally RIGHT THERE covering all the bases they were supposed to cover. and chen has a dog which made him obviously superior. it was annoying, but my frustration with their similarities pushed me to put a lot of love into them and well. look at where my son is now lmfao.

Cyrus- @ that one person who made that post about herald subverting the cinnamon role stereotype: thank you. i owe you my and my bastard sons life. cyrus was just meant to be a step i used to explore heralds ro route, so i didnt mean to take him too seriously. because of that, and because this was directly after caine and i was getting frustrated figuring them out, i kinda just went with the flow– he was originally a character closer to the "flirty and funny but actually competent and surprisingly apathetic" type. he used to have like. 50% ruthlessness lmfaoooo. a lot of his major character beats were caused by me making mistakes and figuring things out by clicking random choices out of curiosity. after i played him once, the higher ruthlessness route i went intrigued me, and i started tweaking him further, which is how we got here.

Cecilia- i! wanted! to! have! someone! fun! i wanted to have someone fun. i just wanted to have a step who would dick around and do stupid shit because they wanted to. she was my third step, both caine and cyrus were so serious, i needed somebody to juxtapose that. she was very much the "fuck around and find out" character. i created her to explore the lupin route, which seemed appropriate for the sort of character i wanted her to be. i also wanted to romance argent. it all just sort of culminated in a whirlwind of the most out there, daring step i had. it was only later i considered adding some more serious edges to her story, she was a bit like stress relief lol.

Cynthia- i created her with ortegas ro route in mind! even though caine was technically an ortega ro step, he was secretcrush so they couldnt really do much lmfao, so i was itching to play somebody whod actually pursue her. i chose the "calm, kind, do not burn down the house please and thank you" character for her since it seemed like fun to try with ortegas more out-there energy. i also had her as an anarchist, which i thought would be interesting to see play out since she was definitely on the more heroic end of the spectrum and i wanted to see how she would tackle one of the more destructive job choices. unfortunately, the kinder characters are almost always the hardest for me to work with, so it did take cynthia a while to find her footing. now, though, i think shes come together nicely! very much a balance of the nicer character i wanted for her originally while having that small kernel of "i can fuck things up if i wanted to" that i find more fun.

questions from here!

#i guess i DID end up answering those questions for caine #cecilia in particular is funny to me because like. yes my beautiful girl. go destroy your life for an adrenaline rush. #that is the normal way to respond to a lack of simulation. godspeed #i had to refrain from listing off other ocs i had that fit those specific archetypes whdjsjsjdjs #i have lots of beloved children ok. i need to figure them all out at a reasonable interval Somehow #that said. rip my other five steps #id say ill get to you someday but honestly. probably not lmfaooo #btw fun fact. the caine-cyrus-cecilia-cynthia order i always answer questions for them in is the order they were created in #caine lynzal #cyrus becker #cecilia rider #cynthia garcia #sidestep #fhr #pulp answers #ask game

[leggyre]

he was widely known as a very gentle boy. the vet always commented about how easy it was to run tests and such on him because he wouldnt struggle at all, unlike other bunny patients who kicked, bit and scratched.

There were only three times nano ever actually bit someone. First, the maid, who kept teasing him with the food bag because it made him act cute. I told her over a d over again that he'd get tired of it and eventually would stop asking. She ignored me, so he bit the back of her ankle i'm frustration. She was terrified of him from then on.

The other two times... Were me. This year.

I saw him having a seizure and rushed in to help. Normally with those I'd have to hold him down so he couldn't hurt himself. When my hand approached he lunged at my thumb and sink his teeth in with such force I'm sure it would have taken a chunk out of it if I hadn't opened his mouth to take it off.

The second one was weaker, a bit of an oversight on my part. I held him down with towels when he had seizures because it helped safely holding him still. I also gave him little pieces of cardboard and toys that he could use the constant bite reflex on. While doing that, he reached for my hand again and took another bite. A weaker one, through some cloth, that I was able to retract quite fast, so it didnt get to do much damage.

so long story short, nano is so friendly, so gentle and so trusting that the only times he bit me were moments when he literally couldnt control himself. And these happened *this year*.

At other times hed been annoyed at me, all he did was a give a little pinch. Maybe even a quick scratching if the pinch didnt work.

He had so much tiny bunny love, he didnt have the time to bite. He had a job; to enthusiastically greet everyone coming into my room to beg for cuddles. Couldnt even enter the room without paying the toll . even me, the VIP, had to pay this fee every single time, even if I was out for just a second.

[weakly crawls in] can . can you spare a bit of Mr Jackson Coxx lore and information. I am obsessed with his repressed dumbass in a "beee who you are for yourrrr prideeee" manner

ofc....... im glad his swagless demeanor has captivated u . jackson momence under cut

1. his name is an incredibly obvious pun . his middle name makes it funnier but if you ask him what it is he'll just tell you its jackson again. the only person who knows what his true middle name is is exie but she also has an embarrassing relationship with her name and is taking it to her grave. if you do not accept his double jackson answer and insist on finding out what it is he will probably cry

2. hes very cring yes but he IS actually decently strong, he can carry things much heavier than him for extended amounts of time and of my ocs the only person who can lift more than him is juniper (and it isnt by much, its like maybe 2 pounds more or smth and she cannot do it consistently like he can but she holds it over his head) with lillith being a close second to him

3. he has a mother who lives out of town that he writes letters to. moved to dialtown for a fresh start in a new place n' all that. michy has personally delivered a few of the letters for him

4. all of his Issues (tm) are very internalized. he hasnt nor will he ever project them onto another person, nd this would actually be a thing thtd be touched on in his route a little

5. hed have two bad ends, one where you fuck him up worse and the shit yourself and die end where you end up getting looney-toons flattened by weights in the gym after a failed bet from juniper

6. hes not very good at sticking up for people (himself or otherwise) and crumbles easy under pressure. he relies a lot on being tall and looking strong in the hopes people leave him be

7. he and jerry are acquainted from a few times where he'd been hired to move heavy equipment in the funfair

8. he has an insanely unhealthy diet but would never admit it, he insists that he is incredibly healthy and fit

9. the only other routes he would appear in are margos (during a scene between the player and juniper) and randys (as someone you could approach and ask if he'd seen randy around, to which hed say he didn't really know the guy but hadn't seen him at the park and would wish you luck finding him)

10. hes got a good bit of practical intelligence. he can adapt to situations pretty well. however do not ask him to do complex brain things if its for something important because he Will answer incorrectly and do so with complete confidence that hes right

11. he cant read roman numerals and thats why his watch has a digital display

12. along with michy and outis, hes one of my more 'social' ocs, which basically just means hes aware of a number of the others rather than just sticking to his set little group. the only people he actively considers friends / acquaintances though are michy, exie, and juniper

13. in chapter 3 when you meet him, he would have a sprite showing that his gym bag has a small pride flag pin on it. he'd mention that while hes not totally past his problem hes been trying to do more active interacting with the community and learning abt/becoming more comfortable with himself. baby steps :-]

#i bully him a lot but hes doin his best <3 #interactions #jack dlc #dlc wiki

“ARTEMIS!!” Lee yelled as he spotted her on the platform “what are we?” Fred starter “Chopped liver Gred” George said “oh youre just mad that Lee likes me the best isnt that right Lee?” I smiled “yep. Shes the favorite” “Lee i want you to meet Apollo” she smiled as she let him go “Apollo this is Lee” she said they locked eyes and the entire world slowed down around Apollo and Lee she stepped back to Fred and George “are you seeing this?” George asked as they watched the two of them interact with eachother “meet us on the train after youre done making goo goo eyes at eachother Lee” George teases as Lee flips them off “im happy for you Pollo” she says as she hugs her brothers waist getting on to the train she shrugs her bag off and went inside “George. Can you Give us a minute?” He asks as he climbs in after her “no problem” George shrugged he followed her to Igneous’s pen when the giant thunderbird landed on the rock “hey Iggie” she cooed softly Igneous looked to Fred “i know hes here boy. And i know he wants to know. And hes going to ask me how i feel. And truth be told Igneous… im afraid. Im scared that Lucious’s threat is going to become reality and im going to lose the one person that makes me feel safe. I want to tell him how much i wish i could stay with him at the burrow til we graduate i want to tell him everything im just so afraid that if he knew everything i want to tell him he wouldn’t want to be my friend anymore… im afraid of him leaving me behind which is a stupid thing to be afraid of because he’s proven himself time and time again that he wont its just easier for me to pretend that its just me talking to my thunderbird… than facing him and looking him in the eyes while i speak because im afraid if he can see my eyes hed see how broken and dead i am inside” she sighs when she feels his arms wrapped around her middle head falling-to her shoulder Fred needing to be close to her letting her know he was there and listening but wanting her to continue his heart sped up at the contact “i wonder what hed say if i said that i felt like things would be better if i had died in that dungeon that i only kept fighting because i needed to make our squabble right” his arms got tighter around her fear clouded him as he listened  “he would probably ask if i want to die id tell him no. I don't, im feeling Vulnerable. i just want him to hold me as I fall apart again like in the hospital wing last year saying he’ll never leave no matter what that i needed him and hed never turn his back on me. because Lucious’s voice in my head right now is telling me that im unloveable. And that everyones going to leave me and that im a useless house elf and that im ruined no man is ever going to want to touch me because of what he did to me. Im traumatized and im trying so hard to be okay and smile for everyone and its not working and im hurting.. im imagining the worst possible scenario and i lose him forever. I dont want to lose him…” she sniffled he turned her around and pulled her to him silently moving to sit down on the rock his back on Igneous his hands going through her hair “its not true you know” he said softly “what Lucious said” he elaborated “none of it is true. If you need me Artemis, i will never turn my back on you. I meant what i said. And im keeping my word. I promised you that id never abandon you and i wont. Give it all to me… i have you…. Youll never lose me Artemis im right here. Stop being headstrong and let me help you… let me take this for you….” she closed her eyes and let the tears fall from her eyes “island baby…. Youre so beautiful….. you drive me crazy” fred whispered in her ear “your strength and beauty i can see in your eyes…. I lose sight of my world..” he looks up and sees Lee George and Apollo as she sobs into his chest 

baby love no words can hold whats truly on my mind just feel the beat of my heart” he moves her hand to over his thumping heart and holds it there hoping that she doesnt feel how fast its beating “and youll know what i need” Apollo sits next to his sister leaning his head on her shoulder “pualena… youre so beautiful God knows i love you” Apollo sung as he brushed the hair out of her face George sits next to Fred laying on his legs Georges head on Artemis’s legs “and youre all i need Pualena you take my breath away Pualena” Lee sits inbetween Fred and Apollo leaning his head on Apollo’s thighs looking up at him Apollo smiles down at Lee “you know lately all i think about is holding you closely and never leaving yourside i’ll keep you warm” Lee says they softly sing to her keeping the position theyre in when she finally stops crying  “thank you” she said looking at Fred he just smiled at her “its our job” Lee said as Fred hugged her one last time  “lets get changed.” Apollo smiled “i’ll be in the library” Apollo said “Artie!!” George yelled as he came running back to the pen “CAN YOU TWO DO THE THING?!?” He yelled holding up the walkman “can we what?” Apollo asked as he looked to Artemis “god I should’ve never showed you that thing” she whispered under her breath “i showed them Aerosmith” she shook her head “well it fell on Charlies head and he discovered it i showed them the memory of us and mom before she and Reggie….” She started to say Apollo takes the walkman unhooking the chord from the walkman Apollo walks up to Artemis putting the walk man down flicking his wand to press play grabbing his sisters hands “come on. Itll be fun. It was dads favorite i still remember our routine. I know you do too missy” he smiled at her she returned his smile “you had a routine?” Fred asked “sit down you three” Apollo said “Every time that I look in the mirror…..: ALL THESE LINES ON MY FACE GETTING CLEARER the past is gone Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way? Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, oh, oh, oh” Apollo started “I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody's sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life's in books' written pages Storing facts learned from fools and from sages You view the earth” Artemis sings as Apollo spins her in his arms he lets her go she spins out their hands stopping her from falling after shes completely stretched he pulls her back into him “Oh, sing with me, this mournful dub Sing with me, sing for a year Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear Sing with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away!” Apollo picks her up by her hips and places her on top of the rock “just like when we were kids” Apollo whispers to her “Oh, sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear Sing it with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away” she jumped off the rock landing on her knees Apollo falling to his back to back “Dream on Dream on I dream on Dream a little, I'll dream on Dream on I dream on I dream on” he stands up “all you lia girl” Apollo whispers remembering his mom  “Oh, sing with me, this mournful dub Sing with me, sing for a year Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear Sing with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Dream on Dream on I dream on Dream a little, I'll dream on Dream on I dream on I dream on” as aerosmith kept up their high note she went higher “just keep on dreaming ooon aaaaaaaaaa ah ah ah ahhhhh“ she belts he holds out his hand which she takes he pulls her up as they sing face to face alternateing lines “Dream a little, I'll dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on I'll dream on Dream on Dream on I dream” when the song ends she lays on her back laughing when he belly flops her “ughhhhh Apollo!” She laughs “i knew thatd cheer you up you old grouch” he gets punched in the ribs softly “IM ONLY ELEVEN MINUTES OLDER!”

“Still makes you old” “respect your elders!” “Okay maybe youre not that old Lia” he laughs “dont make me hex you Kaneleonahenahe” she mumbles Lee is the first to speak “Artie can i have your blessing to Marry your brother?” He asks with his hand raised “we’re not even dating” Apollo smiled “id follow you anywhere Apollo Black” Lee said “Scamander actually, i had to change my last name protection purposes” he shrugged. “we’re only 14 Lee” Artemis chuckles “and you just met him today!” “The heart wants what it wants im smitten!” He swoons into George who fans his face with his hands “it wasnt that great. You should see us actually dance Hula” Apollo crosses his arms over his chest “mum taught us ʻEo mai and a bunch of other songs” he shrugs “you should see Artemis do Pua Kiele made mum and dad cry everytime.” Apollo finished “come on lets go were probably almost there” she cuts them off as she walks out of her bag Fred trails after her “you never told me Apollo or you could dance!” He pouted “it was a long time ago Freddie” she shook her head “i dont think my knees can handle it anymore” she shrugs “dance for me” he asks softly “i want to see” he coos “maybe one day” he grabs her wrist spinning her to face him “promise?” He asked “i promise” she nods-he heads up the ladder first he helps her out of the bag once everyone is out of the bag “so what house do you think he’ll be in?” George asks her from the window seat as he bumps her shoulder “Gryffindor” she says nonchalantly “my guess wouldve been Ravenclaw” George shrugged “obviously hes a Ravenclaw” Fred rolled his eyes “i dont care what house as long as they know hes actually mine” Lee said as he munched on his licorice wand “well actually sis” he rubs the back of his neck she snaps her neck to him as he holds up the yellow and black tie “i already got sorted before Uncle and Aunt dropped me at the burrow” he chuckles “…. Hufflepuff?” She asks he smiles shyly as she smiles at him “it suits you” she smiles “thanks Lia girl” he smiled “Cedric is actually supposed to be showing me around” he shrugged

“Hey have you guys seen Harry or Ron?” Hermione asked us “I thought they were with you?” Artemis asked “no. When he didnt sit with me i thought Ron and Harry sat with you five” “how would that even be possible?” Fred asked “we would have to had strapped Ronniekins to the luggage compartment to fit all of us” Fred jested “Miss Black might i ask you to join me to the headmasters office” Migonigal said as she exited the great hall “is she in trouble Maam?” Apollo asked “no, Mr. Scamander. She is not. I just need assistance. Infact. You come along too” she said as a confused look came across Hermione George and Freds face “i will see you in a few handsome” lee wiggled his eyebrows Apollo smiled “only handsome one here is you” Apollo charmed a paper bird to fly to him it landed in Lee’s hands “open that when youre alone” Apollo winked as Artemis and Apollo turned to follow Minerva Lee sighs putting a hand over his beating heart “two sickles” George whispered into Hermione’s ear she looks up red in the face “two sickles and a knut” she barters “youre on Granger” “i look forward to it Weasley” she smiled at him Minerva leads them to Albus’s office “You were seen. By no less than seven Muggles! Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!” Snape yelled at Ron and Harry “oh jeez what did you do now” Artemis said ruffling Harrys hair “Your god brother AND his IMBECILE friend, Ms. Black just crashed a car into the whomping willow” “well thats just smashing entrance the most GLORIOUSLY crushing arrival out of any arrivals in the new year they whomped it in style dont you think?” “NOWS NOT THE TIME FOR JOKES ARTEMIS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER!” Snape raises his voice with amusement “oh come on professor Sev” she says with a soft smile he looks at her with soft eyes “its not like the boys were crushed to death it couldve been way worse. We couldve had to clean dismembered body parts off of the tree. I can fix whatever was maimed. I have an animal that can help” she shrugged sitting next to Harry “it did more damage to us than us of it” Ron gulped “Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight!” Severus yelled “but youre not” Dumbledores voice echoed as he walked in “head of ouse falls into Minervas district” he said walking in “ms. Black, Mr. Scamander. i suggest you keep a tighter leash on your brother” Minerva starts “as for you two. Five points each will be taken. Get to dinner Potter.” She said as she dismissed the group “professor Sev, id like to introduce you to Apollo. My younger brother” she smiled “ah yes ive heard so much about you. Your sister is my star pupil” she catches Harry trying to scurry away fast behind Ron “oh no you dont” Apollo said grabbing the back of his robe “come on Apollo we already got yelled at” Artemis crossed her arms over her chest Apollo raised an eyebrow at him “okay fine im sorry it was a really stupid thing we couldve been killed and im grounded for a week” he breathed out Apollo ruffled his hair as Artemis smirks “please dont be mad at me” he looks up with puppy dog eyes “we’re not mad. We’re worried. You wait and ask for help from the Weasleys next time okay?” Artemis cooed pulling him into a hug “youre the only family we have. We dont want to lose you” she whispered into his hair he nods “come on lets go eat yeah?” He nodded “want me to walk you to your table Apollo?” She asked as they walked into the great hall

“nah. I got it thanks Tita. Try to keep Harry out of trouble” he smiled Artemis just nodded “here i made you a plate. Your favorites” Fred said as she sat down next to him “thanks Freddie” she smiled leaning her head on his shoulder picking it back up and eating “your brothers going to get a howler in the mail” she said as she ate “he drove the car into the whomping willow” she explained “that idiot.” George shook his head Artemis giggled as she took a small bite of her chicken Fred rose his eyebrow at her “stop picking at it and eat” he shoved her shoulder “sorry im just not that hungry Fred” she smiles “okay. Fine” he switches their plates “eat the fruit and the toast.” He said nonchalantly as she grinned at him Artemis comes out of the dorm after everyone had gone to bed “incendo” she said pointing at the wood in the fire place sitting on the floor back leaning against the sofa she sighs out as she pulled a book out and began to read softly humming to herself twenty-five minutes pass when she feels someone sit next to her smelling cinnamon and gunpowder she smiles “cant sleep?” He asks softly she shook her head no “still thinking about florish and blotts? Thanks for the books by the way. The new robes feel great” he said softly “its not Florish and Blotts. I accidentally called your mom ‘mom’ in the middle of a panic attack out side of the icecream place” she sighed closing her book “why is that a bad thing?” He asked “i didnt want to freak her out” Artemis finally looked into his amber eyes he looked back with something she couldnt read behind them “what are you doing up Fred?” She asked softly “i came cause i had a feeling youd be down here.” “So you came because of a feeling?” “I came because i had to see if you were okay” he said leaning further into the couch “im glad your here Fred” she smiles at him “what you thinking about?” She asks him “what mums howler is going to say” he shrugged “Charlie sent me a new dragon scale. He said it was from a baby” “you still write my brothers?” He asks “Bill texts me everyonce in a while when i dont pick up Charlie’s two way mirror” she sighs out “i didnt think having older brothers were fun before having them. Now that i have them sorta. They more or less call themselves my brothers every chance they get. Aparently they think im going to marry into your family sooner or later i dont know i dont think anyone could like me like that. But having them… and Apollo back…. its nice having people check up on you. And care.” she sighs she chuckles “what?” He smiles “just. Charlie asked if id name a baby after him” she giggled “how much kids d’ya want?” He asked “i want a quidditch team. Id be happy with ten” She smiles “i want a big family full of kindness and love… i want to give what i never had what i tried to give Apollo if i could find someone who accepts me for who i am. All the scars and scary.” she smiles a piece of hair falling in her face he reaches up and tucks it behind her ear keeping his hand there for a moment she looks down and back up at him again giving him a soft smile he leans down “youre so beautiful Kahali’alaulani, whoever gets to have you that way will be a lucky bloke” he said imagining THEIR life and THEIR kids in his mind her cheeks heat up at the use of her middle name he pulls her head to his shoulder so that she’s leaning on it “i want a big family too someday. I want to have a huuuuuuge yard where we could have a quidditch pitch and far enough away from everyone that the fireworks could be loud and obnoxious” he laughed “and pranks. The house would be full of them” he looked at her “ive always pictured the kids looking like their mom with Red hair, big eyes and hearts of gold.” He glanced down to her lips “you know what names you like?” He looked up to her eyes as She asked “ive always loved the name Nathaniel” she continued “i always thought my first sons name would have Georges name somewhere in it but im not completely sure. Ive always loved Dads name. It always sounded sophisticated.” He leaned his head on hers as they fell into a comfortable silence

“read to me?” “Ive got something better” she smiled at him she snapped her fingers “muffalito” she whispered silencing the common room a guitar out she starts playing “are you going to sing to me?” He asked “no… but i’ll play for you” she smiles “but i love when you sing” Fred pouts “what do you want me to sing?” She asks softly “your favorite song” “but i sing that all the time. I sang it so much you Lee and George know the words” she frowns “but it makes you happy” he puts his hand on her face “but what makes you happy Freddie?” She asked looking at him he looks down into her big eyes “you make me happy Kahalialaulani” he whispers “what makes you happy?” He asked as fingers play chords on the guitar she looks up at him again she stops playing and puts her hand on his face she shows him the detention that changed it all she showed him them laughing together the hospital wing him calling her Kahalialaulani for the first time he saw Florish and Blotts him and her in zonkos Lee and Apollos meeting “i really like him Artie” walking to Dumbledores office “ron is fighting me about george” Hermione’s voice rang Molly and her talking Charlie and Bill and the final memory is him holding her singing her favorite song putting her hand on his chest she takes her hand back and starts playing again hours pass he sits there just listening to her play when suddenly he got the urge to talk to her again the sun peeking through the mountains “come here” he said putting her in his lap “teach me” he said giving her his hands “teach me to play Pualena” She places his fingers on the frets and shows him how to strum “good. Now a little faster” she said he strummed “island baby” she sung “youre so beautiful you drive me crazy you know your” she paused as he struggled with the next chord she puts her fingers on his “all that i need so much more” he stuck his tongue out as he focused “your strength and beauty i can see in your eyes i lose sight of my world” she breathes out yawning “baby love no words can hold whats truly on my mind just feel the beat of my heart and youll know what i need youre my” “pualena youre so beautiful god knows i love you” he sang with her”and youre all i need” she looked up at him turning her head to face him he looked at her his heart sped up “pualena you take my breath away Pualena” they sang together Hermione walks out of their dorm room ready for their first classes and sat across from them “dont stop… its beautiful” she said when they made eye contact with her she smiled at Artemis sitting in Freds lap she rolled her eyes at Hermione who chuckled “you know lately…” Fred sang as he put his chin on her shoulder “all i think about is holding you close to me and never leaving yourside i’ll keep you warm” he sang “time passes by and still youre on my mind i cant imagine living my life without you cause the special moments you and i could only share” she sang moving his fingers again George coming down sitting next to Hermione “goodmorning Mia” he kissed the side of her head wrapping an arm around her shoulder. She smiles at him “morning George” she giggled as she looked back to Fred and Artemis “will always keep us together and never apart youre my Pualena youre so beautiful god knows i love you and youre all i need youre my pualena you take my breath away Pualena” she smiles up at Fred “youre good at this arent you?” She asked “Fred knows how to play alittle.” George shrugged “just never a full song” Fred continued as she stood up placing the guitar down “keep it. It was my dads i have another one” she smiles at him “i gotta change. Then off to breakfast” she smiled Fred held the guitar in his hands and stared at the steps “did you?” Hermione asked softly Fred shook his head no “im not ready… not yet…” he sighed out “i dont “you do” Hermione cut off “if anyone deserves her. Its you” Hermione continued “she doesnt need something more right now Mione. She needs her bestfriend. And thats what in giving to her. Stop rushing it” he rolled his eyes walking up the stairs to the shared dorm he put the Guitar on the bed

“FRED! Help! This shirt or this shirt” Lee held up the two shirts “why?” He asked “Apollo asked me to sit with him at the Hufflepuff table today” he explained Fred just smiled “their the same shirt Lee. Its a school uniform” Fred smiled “JUST PICK A SHIRT FRED!” He yelled “that one” he rolled his eyes smiling at Lee “youre smitten my friend” “ive already said that.” Lee rolled his eyes “im going to ask him to Hogsmede this weekend” Lee elaborated Fred smiled “hes going to say yes” Fred rolled his eyes at him “hurry up. Lets go” he chuckled “Lee!” Apollo smiled “excuse me?” Artemis said with her hand on her chest in fake hurt “i honestly thought id get atleast a hello first im only his twin sister after all” she pouted as Apollo walked up to Lee “so i was thinking. You and i could hit Hogshead for a butterbeer and you show me around Hogsmeade on saturday. I’ll buy lunch if you take care of the Honeydukes bill. My favorites are Sugar quills. And yours are these” he smiled handing Lee a licorice wand Lee stood there a look of shock written on his features as he stared open mouthed “you owe me three sickles and a knut Granger” George whispered “fine!” She whisper yelled handing him the money “thank you” he smiled down at her Fred raising an eyebrow at his twin “So? What do you say? Is it a date?” Apollo asked as blush creeped on to his cheeks “i.. i… you want to go on a date with me?” Lee stuttered “i am yours right? Thats what you said. ‘I dont care what house if everyone knows hes actually mine’ So yeah. I do. Besides we have to start somewhere if we’re going to be married one day. Unless you want to skip straight to ‘i do’ right now? i do think that “Apollo Kamahaʻo Kaneleonahenahe Jordan” flows really well together. I kind of want to take this slow, we should talk logistics and see if you really want to be married one day datings the way to go. So Hogsmeade this saturday?” he smiled “Artemis? Can i marry your brother today please?” He looked back to Artemis with an amused look on her face “date first. Ask me again when we graduate Jordan. My baby brother asked you a question.” She teased “are you sure?” Lee asked Apollo smiled “thats why i asked” Apollo takes Lees hand places the licorice wand in his hand “meet me here at 10 saturday morning” Lee asked as Apollo intertwined his hand in the other leading him into the great hall “come on handsome, 10am sharp Saturday morning” Apollo whispered as he snapped the fingers on his free hand suddenly chocolate frogs appear in front of Hermione Ron Harry Fred George and Artemis the group stared speechless as they watched Lee get led to the Hufflepuff table a charmed paper bird flew to Fred ‘your turn Gred. I give you my blessing with Artie. You both are ready for that next step. Black roses are her favorite, and shes a sucker for stars’ Fred read the note and quickly folded it  and shoving it in his trouser pocket walking in with George “now whats this with you and Hermione betting?” Fred asked with a raised eyebrow “we saw Lee and Apollo flirting and he bet me” Hermione shrugged as they sat down “Artemis can you do me a favor?” Hermione asked as she slipped two galleons to her “can you pick up these books for me when you go to Hogsmeade this weekend?” She asks “no problem Mione” she smiles “you know you could just borrow mine too right?” Artemis cocks her eyebrow at her “WHICH REMINDS ME!! Gotta fly Hagrid has something for me in his hut!0” she stands abruptly running out of the great hall “what was that all about?” George asks “i have no idea. With Artemis it can be anything” Fred shakes his head making her a small plate of food 

“she didnt even eat yet” he rolled his eyes as he piled more onto her plate and covering it with a napkin shrinking it and putting it in his robe pocket She knocked on the door to Hagrids his “ah Artemis! Shes right in here! Just go’ er yesterday” Hagrid told her as she walked into the hut “and this is one of Fluffy’s puppies?” She asked intrigued “yep. Proud father tha one. Fluffy didnt wan’ ta leave the mums side to take care of the pups i got ya the one ye asked for. Smallest of the litt’r” as he hands her a small three headed dog with white fur “oh Hagrid shes Beautiful” Artemis took the sleeping puppy into her arms after handing him the four galleons “Artemis this is too much!” Hagrid said “none sense Hagrid. Gas and time plus the cost of the puppy. Its not nearly enough” she said as she tucks the puppy into her robe “well? What you gonna call er?” He asked with a smile “hemolele” she smiled “it means angel” she smiled at him “i best be off Hagrid thank you again” she smiled walking to her common room she drops her bag on the sofa next to Fred she climbed in once inside she enchanted another stall once she was done she enlarged all of her puppy toys and food setting it up on the side as the puppy played with her toys she smiled watching her as she made her food “come on Hemolele” she spoke to the puppy as it came up to her she put the food down”good girl” she sighed out about to walk out “so this is what you rushed out of dinner for?” Fred asked holding her plate out to her she takes it “isnt she beautiful?” Artemis kneels down and pets her “shes Fluffy’s puppy” she looks up at Fred while she spoke “cute. But i need you to eat Kahalia” he cocks his eyebrow at her she picks the puppy up and hands her to Fred “not so scary when theyre tiny are they?” She takes a bite of food he holds the dog and smiles “i guess when theyre small they dont impose the threat of eating you whole now do they?” He smiled as he scratched behind one of the ears he puts the dog down “you okay?” He asked “yeah im perfect why?” She asked “i dunno. You just havent gotten Apollo back yet” he shrugged “i dont think i am. That one was free. I feel bad for leaving him” she said with a sigh “who you two pranking next? She asked “probably Snape” he shrugged “please not when im around i like not having detentionnnnn” she groaned “oh come on Lia girl isnt detention fun when its just you and me?” He wiggles his eyes at her “everythings fun when its just you and me Fred” she smiles at him he looks at her with reddened cheeks she smiled bigger at him “Freddie” she sighed “thanks for the food” she said taking another bite of the bread “I want you to start taking care of yourself Lia” he turned to face her “that means going to meals, having time for yourself” he said mimicking what she told him  in the hospital wing “i can compromise” she said mimicking him “we bring our plates empty plates here…. And eat where no one can see” she looked down confusion spread on his face “i do eat Fred… just not at the great hall” she sighed she walked out of the pen grabbing his wrist and walking to the back hallway and into a room with a kitchen off to the side she knocked on the door “Prim? Prim its me” she said softly suddenly a house elf opened the door “Artie?” She asked “hey Primm-y how are you today? Feeling better?” She smiled at the elf “Prim thinks her arm healed up nicely. Can Prim stay with Artie? Prims master fired Prim. Prim has no where else to go i can teach more spells if thats what it takes” she cried as she kneeled on the floor “Prim. I told you before you can stay im not your master. Im your friend. No elf magic teaching needed Primm-y. Id like you to meet someone. This is my bestfriend Fred, can you make us your favorite food? We’ll eat together again” she smiled “PRIM WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH MAAM I’LL BE RIGHT BACK” the house elf yelled excitedly “dont hurt yourself Prim!” Artie yelled 

“i wont i promise Maam!” “Its Artie!!” She laughed Fred cocked his eyebrow at her “she came to hogwarts with a broken arm. Albus didnt have room for her. So i said id look after her, and that she wasnt going off on her own But shes a free elf that’ll earn a wage. I know what its like being a house elf, and i wasnt going to let her brave the world alone.” She shrugged “so i made a deal with her. I give her galleons to keep my fridge stocked animals fed and she and i eat together. Shes a really good cook. Its what she loves to do. It brings a big smile to her face she always makes way too much” Artemis laughs as they sit “youre amazing you know that?” He asks “you have a heart of gold” he brushes her cheekbone with his fingers leaning in to kiss her forehead “thanks Freddie” “i will take this compromise. If i can join you and Prim for dinners” he said “Prim would like that very much Mr. Fred Prim loves to cook this is Prims favorite thing to cook Ms. Artemis likes it very much sir. She finishes her food every time!” The elf smiled at Fred “is that so? It looks great Prim thank you” he said kindly “so Prim, how do you like living here?” He asked as he spooned some of the food into his mouth “mm… this is so good” he said more to himself “oh i love it here Mr. Fred. Artemis lets me feed and hang out with the animals!” She said excitedly “which animal is your favorite? Mine personally is the Kelpie” he asked taking another bite “Prim is quite fond of Igneous” she smiles big at Fred “i like Igneous too” he smiled at her “Ms. Artemis youre right Prim likes him too” Prim smiles at her her cheeks heat up “mr. Fred a good boy right?” She asked “one of the best there is” Artemis said softly as she ate “Prim thinks you make a good match Prim knows when Prim sees” she said as she looked down at her plate choking on her food “well Prim i dont think he likes me like that all that much… im not the kind of person boys fall head over heels in love with” she said softly to the elf Freds eyes widen in shock “that is not true ms. Artemis” “alright Prim. I’ll take your word for it, would you like me to wash up?” “No ms. Artemis Prim has it” the elf smiled as she exited the room with a nod “i meant it about dinners Lia” he smiled as he climbed the ladder helping her out of the bag “okay, you can come to dinners.” Artemis sighs “just you and me?” He asked “and Prim of course” he stuttered “just us” she smiled “goodnight Freddie” she smiled “goodnight Kahalialaulani” i love you he thought more to himself then her

It was her first free period and she was studying for her muggle classes trying to graduate a year early when a voice pulls her out of her thoughts “are you coming to our Quidditch practice?” Fred asked coming down the steps and seeing her in the common room “do you want me too?” She asked he modded “yeah. Let me go grab a sweater first and then we’ll walk together?” She asked “its cold out on the pitch.” She shrugged “here. Wear this” Fred said chucking her an extra Jersey that he brought just in case “but wont you need this?” She asked him looking up at him confused “nah, i think i’ll be good with just the one. Besides. George’ll get jealous that you’re wearing mine n not his” Fred wiggles his eyebrows “fineeee” she groans with a laugh pulling on the jersey they walk to the pitch “ah good to see you Black” Wood said as we walked out of the castle “you gonna try out for the team?” He asked “nah. The position i want isnt open.” She shrugged “im just here supporting Harry and the twins. Apollo’s going for chaser tho. Cedric is holding try outs next week from what Apollo said” she shrugged walking inching closer to Fred who wrapped his arm around her protectively when Slytherin’s team walked next to him she made eye contact with Draco and tensed Fred instinctively pushed her slightly behind him “Atleast no one had to bribe their way onto Gryffindor team. They got on from pure talent!” Hermione sneered “Who asked you what you thought filthy mudblood” Draco sneered i pushed my way through the twins and straight up to Draco “want to say that again Dray?” She towered over him crossing her arms over her chest “i called her a mudblood. Filthy orphan what are you going to do about it?” He yelled at her earning smiles from the Slytherin team chuckling behind him “okay. I see how it is. School yard bully acting tough cause people he wants to impress are around. See. My dad taught me the only way to deal with bullies.” She sighed out. He cocked his eyebrow “what is that filthy orphan? Running away from a fight” he laughs woth the rest of his team “or have your bull dogs rescue you” he juts his chin to Fred and George as they start to walk over “STAY!” She yelled they froze to their spot as she turned around and looked at Hermione on the verge of tears and Ron seething eyes landing on George wand gripped tight in his hand pointing at Malfoy she turned back and hit him in the mouth he fell back to flint “i know youre better than this Draco. If you were nicer and showed people who you actually are maybe then youd be friends with Harry and maybe ron too. you dont think he told me about meeting you first year? How you insulted Ron. Telling him to stick around with you to be friends with the right sort of wizards. Thats not how you get people to like you. You owe BOTH Hermione and Ron an apology for how you’ve been treating them. Oh. And go ahead. Tell your father. I dare you” her eyes glew she spoke with a growl in her voice as the whole quidditch team and Hermione watched it unfold jaws gaping open “You cant hit me!” He screamed standing up getting in her face she leaned down pillong his ear as she whispered into his ear his face bright red as she scolded him “why. You had no problem joining in with daddy hitting me. You forget the one person Who tutored you in potions. And took the blame for breaking a 100 year old vase who helped you with your preschool work and taught you to read. Who checked under the bed for monsters when you had nightmares me. Draco. I did. Who did you cry to after your first pathetic little heartbreak me. I did it you told me once that i was the only friend you had this isnt how you make friends Draco grow up and stop being like Lucious pompous arsehole. be the person you really are who me and aunt Narcissa know you are. for once in your spoiled brat life and apologize before i make you apologize” her nostrils flare at him teeth turning into lions fangs she looks up at the Slytherin captain

“Piss off with that bloody note before i shove it so far up your ass youd be shitting it out for a week. You snakes can take the late afternoon slot Oliver had this pitch booked for WEEKS or do I need to go talk to Snape personally. Picking on kids younger than you Flint are you really that cowardice. Pick on someone your own age. Heaven knows you wouldnt win.” she growled again showing her fangs again they all step back “whatever. Lets get out of here. Draco. We’ll train you later” Flint said turning his back to the Gryffindors Draco looks up at his cousin with scared gray eyes “theres still a chance for you to be friends with them. Make your mother proud” she said softer morphing her features back he looks down in shame slowly walking up to Hermione “im sorry, i shouldnt have said that, i was trying to get people to like me. It wont happen again. Im sure Artemis would rip my throat out if it does” he scratched the back of his neck “and im sorry for what i said first year Weasley. I shouldnt have said that either. I hope you two can forgive me and the three of us start over?” He asked not looking up she glances over to Harry who’s looking at her she shrugs her shoulders at him giving him the choice. “Harry Potter” Harry said holding out his hand making Draco look up “Draco Malfoy” shaking hands “this is my friends, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley” Harry continued “this is the team, Oliver wood, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Fred and George Weasley, and Alicia Spinnet” Harry pointed out the people as they waved uncomfortably Draco gave them a small smile “im really sorry about before” he said looking down “i have no excuse” he said shyly “thank you for the apology. Id offer to train you. But it seems as though Flint’s got that covered” Wood said as Draco nodded  she walked up to the bleachers and sat rolling her eyes.

“Do you really believe that that was a genuine apology?” Harry asked as they walked through the pitch doors “i dont know.” Artemis sighed “i just know that i am sick of that family having control over me. Harry hes my cousin. There is good in him i believe that i will help him if he needs me on the promise i made to Narcissa. But you are where my loyalties lie. Youre my brother just as much as Apollo is. I stand by you. You never have to doubt that i will make an unbreakable bond to that. Now if youre asking me if i think hed stop doing anymore messed up stuff and be dumb? No. I know he’s going to do messed up stuff. I like seeing the good in everyone. No matter how dimwitted their actions are. Dad always used to say that theres light and darkness in all of us. if you want to know what a mans like. Look at how he treats his inferiors. Hes never said an ill word to or hurt Dobby.” She stares at Fred and George from across the field talking to Oliver “Fred talks about you a lot you know” he wiggles his eyebrows. She smiled “its not like that.” She rolls her eyes at him as they walk further “its really cool what you did back there for Hermione by the way” he states “i didnt just do it for Mione. I did it cause it was the right thing to do.” she shrugged “i dont like when people pick on innocent people. Hermione’s gotta stand up for herself. But until she can i’ll do it for her.” Artemis sighs “so why does he call you Lia? Ive only ever heard Apollo call you that?” He asked “Charlie calls me Lia too, my middle name is Kahalialaulani Naleopilimehana, i guess he just liked that more than Artie” she shrugged “why is it ive never heard your middle name before?” He asked “youve never asked her Potter” George said as they walked in step with them “and Freddie calls her Lia because he prefers it” he nudges Harry as he says it “if you want to call me Lia i wont stop you either Harry.” Artemis shrugged. “You have detention tonight Potter?” Fred asks “yeah. With the new DADA teacher” Artemis grimaces at Gilderoy Lockheart “that sounds wonderful” Artemis said sarcastically “oh yeah. Itll totally be a blast Naleo” he rolled his eyes at her “Naleo?” She asked “well i wanted a name of my own. Apollo, Charlie and Fred already call you Lia everyone else calls you Artemis and Artie so i dunno. Naleo seemed fitting” he scratched the back of his head “my dad used to be the only one that called me that. He’d call me his voice” she smiled “he used to call Pollo Haʻo. His wonder.” She laughed “hed look at me and say my little Naleo. Always my voice of reason” she smiled at the memory. “Well i mean i guess thats why i chose it. Because you are a lot of peoples voice of reason i know youre mine atleast. Both you and Apollo.” Harry said as they walked “like whose” she rolls her eyes at him “mine. And i do like the ring of calling you Voice” Fred said simply she stopped abruptly looking at him “what? You are” he shrugged “what do you mean i am?” “Voice, you stopped me from finding the man that hurt you just by saying my name.” Fred looked at her “you tell me things with your eyes. And its just an unspoken thing between us. I keep you wild you keep me safe” he starts walking “although id like to think we keep each-other safe even if you almost strangled me to death in Florish and Blotts when Lucious said my name” he shrugged as he walked heat rising to her cheeks 

“you coming Artie?” George asks snapping her out of her “oh uh yeah. Sorry” she shook her head and caught up “youre wrong Fred” “what do you mean im wrong.” He rolls his eyes at her. “You don’t keep me wild. You keep me human” he cocks his eyebrow at her staying silent so she can explain. “if im your Leo. Youre my Puʻuwai” she said grabbing Freds arm “wh.. what is that? Leo is voice. Youve said that before ive only seen Puʻuwai once” she smiles at him “you gave me the strength and the courage i needed to open up my heart and allow others in. You showed me that love is stronger than fear.” He froze as she turned around “puʻuwai means heart Fred, you gave me a home to go home too, with your Family.” She turned to him “it wasnt only me it was Charlie and George too” he said quietly “but i said yes to you. Ive told George and Charlie no. Multiple multiple times. But you got me to say yes. Youre the one who got me to open up you got me to trust you and in turn you trust me.” she smiled sweetly enlarging the charm around her neck ‘Home is where love is remember puʻuwai love is eternal and it will give you peace’ “so no. you dont keep me wild. We keep eachother safe. Yes. But you. Youre my heart. And You keep me human the saying is ‘shes my voice of reason, she keeps me out of trouble, he’s my heart. he keeps me human and we keep eachother safe.’ We balance each other out. Without you id be cold and heartless. Without me youd be in detention more often than not. And youd be failing all your classes by now.” she chuckles hoping he didnt read through the lines of what she said “we’re going to be late for potions Heart” she said smiling at him putting her charm away still frozen to his spot he watches her walk away. Mouth gaping open as she jokes with George and Hermione “Are you guys going to meet Harry after detention?” Artie asked Hermione hanging her head off the end of the bed as the twins sat on the floor of the dorm room “yeah. I was going to meet Ron soon, wanna come?” “Yeah. I’ll tag along. I dont know about them. But i wouldnt mind stretching my legs” she said with a sigh George groans out “where ever you go” Fred starts “Fred will follow” George finishes for his brother Freds cheeks heat up “that is not how its supposed to go you git!” Fred yelled “its just funny seeing you this worked up” George’s laugh filled the room “so youre following then?” She asked with a cocked eyebrow at them “and let our favorite girls walk alone? Never.” George said looking to Hermione George walking on the left side of Hermione and Fred walking on the right of Artemis as they head down to the common room where Ron is “what are you two doing here!” Ron yelled “we’re keeping you lot out of trouble Ikkle Ronniekins” Fred jests “besides. You four have all the fun. We want in too!” George pouts Artemis giggles as Ron squeezes himself between George and Hermione shooting him a glare rolling her eyes “come on. Lets go find Harry” she smiled looking up at Fred who smiled at her as she led the group out of friends down the hall George made an off hand comment about their prank war because Hermione had asked about it “oh yeah. Freddie used to obsess over pranking her shed find his pranks every time. And add to them getting either me or himself or me him and Lee in the same go” George said “why didnt he just stop?” Hermione asked “Freds always been stubborn” Ron rolled his eyes “its because im the queen of pranks and Hearts a sore loser that has to always have the last laugh” she smiles playfully

“Am not voice take it back!!” Fred screeched “make me” she laughed taking off running “alright you asked for it Voice” he ran after her she snapped her fingers and appeared behind Ron bobbing and weaving him away from Freds arms that was reaching for her she smiles at him heat rising to his cheeks “YOU KNOW THATS AGAINST THE RULES!” He yells pointing a finger she giggles “whatcha gonna do about it? Prank me?” She stuck her tongue out running inbetween Ron and George “are you sure these two arent dating?” Ron asked the group when they were further away “Voice slow down!” Fred catches up to her she laughed as he caught her waist and began tickling her “Fred stop!” She laughed more Harry appears in the corridor “NO! First you have to say Freds the best pranking master ever and i was wrong for saying otherwise!” He yelled also laughing easing up on her sides as he waits “NEVER! YOULL NEVER BREAK ME!” She yelled in glee he shrugged his shoulders hoisting her up over his shoulder tickling her more “ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! I’LL SAY IT” she laughs tears rolling from her eyes as he holds her on his shoulder“Freds the best pranking master ever. Even if he couldnt land a single prank on me” she sticks her tongue out as he drops her on her bum with a oomph. The three of them laugh as Harry helps her up she looks to the wall Harry Hermione Ron and George rounding the corner after them looking at the wall together in shock ‘the chamber of secrets have been opened enemies of the heir beware’ written in blood with Filchescat hanging from her tail Artemis’s hands fly to her mouth in shock 

Filch comes around the corner when the bell rings and his eyes land on Harry Apollo calling out to us instinctively Artemis steps in front of Harry before Filch can get to him “out of my way its his fault he killed her!” Filch yelled “im sorry Mr. Filch but Harry couldnt have hurt your cat. He was in detention with Professor Lockheart” she said with a soft smile “THEN IT WAS YOU!” He yelled at her getting in her face “it wasnt me either i was meeting Harry after Detention Mr. Filch i swear!” “She was with me the entire time!” Fred yelled “and why should i believe a trouble maker like you Weasley!” He yelled “BECAUSE ITS THE TRUTH!” Fred yelled as she walked up to the cat getting her down from where she hung “shes not dead” Artemis shook her head snapping her fingers the last Mandrake restorative Draught she had putting it in the cats mouth as Albus came to the group as he eyed Artemis closely “there you go girl…. Almost there” she smiled “take it easy now Mrs. Norris” she cooed as the ear twitched slowly dragging her hand down her body “good kitty” she smiled as she shook it off “all better?” She asked as the cat tilted her head at her meowing she chuckled as the cat licks her nose “Mr. Filch shes okay” Artemis smiled at the squib who took his cat into his arms crying “thank you sweet girl” Filch cupped her cheek patting her face “it was just a mandrake potion. She took my last phial of it so hopefully, nobody else gets petrified” she smiled at him “professor sprout has a healthy stock of mandrakes this year how far out?” Albus asked “should be by the end of the year” she smiled “i love animals. Its no issue Mr. Filch” she smiled brightly “Should i have told them? About the voice i heard?” Harry asked as they walked up the stairs they argue as they walk into the common room “you alright there Artie?” George asked “yeah im fine. Just iny head” she shook her head as they walked “want us to stay?” He asked “nah. Imma go read in the library if anything” she shrugged “have a good night boys. Mione” she smiled as she went into her bag she walks into her library and pulls out a book to read “so am i traveling to our room alone or;” George trailed out looking at Fred who was staring at the bag George smiled “go after her Fred” he smiled “im going to hang with Hermione til you get back” he smiled as Fred nodded “hey!” Fred called from outside of Igneous’s pen “hes getting big” Fred said petting his beak “whats the matter?” He asked “nothing, im just worried is all” she shrugged at him “worried about what?” “This thing that petrified Mrs norris” she sighed “nothings going to happen to you Voice you know that right?” He asked sitting next to her “i wont let anything happen to you” he nudged her “its not me im worried about Fred. Im worried about my brothers. Hermione. Im worried about you and George. Im worried about the people i care about” she blew a raspberry out of her mouth “oh come on Voice its not like we’re going to get hurt” he smiled “we dont know who or what did that to the cat” she sighed out “luckily we have our potions guru to save not only your own butt but Harry’s too. Filch looked like he was just about to murder him” Fred said earning a chuckle out of her “theres our girl” he said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear “youre so pretty when you laugh” he complements her red tinge crossing his cheeks “im sorry i worry so much” she apologizes “its a normal reaction Voice” he said as he helped her feed the rest of the animals “youve been through more than what a kid should. It’s understandable, no one blames you for worrying. So what if you need a little reassurance from time to time. Lee, Apollo, Harry, George, Charlie and I dont mind doing it its our job” he smiled “doesnt it get tiring though?” He smiled “no, its not.” He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear “come on we still have a lot more pens to go.” He gestured

The quidditch game against Slytherin was going full swing Harry and Malfoy raced for the snitch going through the stands as Hermione Ron Apollo and Artemis cheered for Harry when a bludger hit his hand just as he caught the snitch winning the game “ughhhh” he groaned as the group of friends surrounded him “you okay there Harry?” Apollo asked “i think i broke my arm” he chuckled slightly “NOT TO WORRY! I can heal that right up for you!” Lockheart said “not you sorry sir i much rather have Artemis give me a potion” he said with an apologetic smile “non sense i can heal you no problem!” Lockheart insisted muttering the wrong spell and all the bones in Harrys arm disappeared the entire quidditch team rushed to the hospital wing “oh mr. Malfoy ive bandaged you up you can go!” Poppy said as she rushed to Harry “he shouldve been brought to me right away! I can mend bones in an instant! Regrowing them will take all night!” She grumbled as she gave harry skelegrow he spit it out “oh come on Har. What did you expect? Pumpkin Juice? Its a potion they all suck and are goopy” Artemis said with a sympathetic smile “i assume youre staying the night Ms. Black Mr. Scamander?” Poppy asked the two kids “if its alright maam. We’d like to stay with our brother” Apollo said with a small smile “try not to make too much noise!” She said sternly they both nodded to her “Ollie. I can fill in for Harry until he heals completely i know your plays by heart” Artemis said with a smile “practice first thing in the morning Artie” he warned “sir yes sir!” She jested as the team left “thanks for doing that Naleo. And let the house cup go? No chance in hell.” She smiled at him in the middle of the night Dobby woke the three kids up “HELLO!” Dobby said “ARTEMIS! Oh how good it is to see you! Dobby has missed you dearly!” He smiled softly at her “hey Dob what are you doing here?” She asked with a confused tone “Harry Potter should have listened to Dobby Harry should have gone home when he missed the train!” Dobby said “whats going on Dobby” she said in a serious voice “Harry Potter and his friends are in grave danger!” Dobby as they talked Dobby admitted that he wanted to be free “THERE HAS BEEN ANOTHER ATTACK!” The three kids laid back down as Albus and Minerva brought in the petrified body of Colin Creevy the next morning she headed down to the pitch from the hospital wing in Harrys quidditch robes “looking good Artie” George said with a smile “gasp. Atleast buy me a drink first!” She put her hand over her chest in fake hurt “what kind of girl do you think i am!” Fred and George laughed loudly with the rest of the team but Angelina “im only doing this so he doesnt have a cow about Harry being out” she rolled her eyes mounting the nimbus and flying up “lets get this practice over with” she groans “you act like you’re bad at quidditch” Fred rolled his eyes at her “because i dont like playing quidditch!” She groans as Oliver releases the balls “i take offense to that Artemis!” He yelled going to the rings After practice she ran speed drills dodging the bludgers George and Fred were throwinf at her “come on boys that all you got?” She teased sticking a tongue out at them George laughed “we dont want to hurt you!” “Give it all you got Georgie i wont break!” She rolled her eyes ar him “you asked for it!” George said as he swung his bat sending a bludger straight at her she pulled back playing chicken with the bludger when it was close to her face she let go of her broom swinging her legs catching herself on the broom handle using the momentum of the flying broom she grabbed her handle and spun down like a cork skrew seconds before hitting the ground she pulled straight seeing the snitch she pulled up slightly with her hand raised one hand steering the broom when she caught the snitch she landed her broom Olivers mouth flew open as she held up the snitch and broom in the other hand when practice was finished Ollie pulled her aside

“i want to keep you on the team as back up seeker” he said as Angelina scoffed “shes not even that good” she whispered to Katie Bell “shes actually really nice Ang. Give her a chance” she whispered back “now why would i do that. Shes a know it all” she said louder turning away and walking to the changing rooms Artemis shook her head and focused more on Oliver as much as id love too Ollie. Im just not cut out for Quidditch” “youre wrong. Youre almost as good as Charlie is. If you had tried out before Harry you wouldve need our seeker” “fine. I’ll sit on the bench” she rolled her eyes “and buy a new broom!” He yelled she waved her hand in the air putting Harry’s robes back “i bet you enjoyed that” Angelina sneered “not even a little. It was a favor for Harry i actually really hate playing sports. Id rather dance.” Artemis replied simply “whatever” she rolled her eyes she slammed Harrys locker shut “just what is your problem with me” Artemis asked a little frustrated “oh nothing. I just dont get why you whore yourself around where ever you are one of the Weasley twins or both or another Weasley is. Wood. Apollo. Potter. Or Jordan is boys buzz around you like flies on a warthog. It makes you look easy” she smirked “okay one. Apollo is my twin brother Gross. Two Lee is his boyfriend. Three Harry is my god brother Four the Weasley twins are my best friends along with Lee i tutor Percy wnd Ron. Ive talked to Oliver maybe three times since coming here” she said crossing her arms “out of line Angelina” George said rounding the corner with damp hair “i dont know what youre talking about George” “youre just jealous that shes friends with everyone and she got a higher score in potions. No need to be a git and call names” George said angrily “its alright George. Bullies arent worth it” she said pulling him away from her Angelina scoffs “shes got them wrapped around her finger” she said to the room “because shes Family.” George rolled his eyes as she pulled him out further once they were in the court yard he pulled her back “you okay?” He asked “just peachy. Thanks” she said with a smile “how long has Angie been treating you like that?” He asked “since our first potions class. I usually just ignore it” she shrugged “but you guys talked back in second” “no. Me and Alicia talked. Angie scowled at me” she said as they walked to the common room Harry finally was back for quidditch two weeks later they were about to play against Hufflepuff when Minnie stopped the match “quidditch has been cancled!” She said “you cant cancel qQuidditch!” Oliver exclaimed “Mr. Potter Mr. Weasley’s Ms. Black please follow me quickly” the twins Harry Artemis and Ron followed Migonigal back to the hospital wing “now this may be a shock to you. But there has been another attack. They were found out side of the library “oh mione” Artemis said brushing a hand through her hair tears pricking her eyes “does tris mean anything to you?” Migonigal asked the group holding up a mirror “no maam” they all say she sits with Hermione for hours George had been sleeping on the other side while Ron and Harry went off to class “hey” Fred breaks the silence she looked at him “brings back memories huh. Us being stuck here” he chuckles she lets out a few tears “yeah. Back when things were just starting out” she chuckled dryly

“it seems to only be attacking muggle born students. Collin, Davies, Mione, Penny” she sniffles “hey…. Voice theyre going to be okay” he puts a hand on her shoulder “you think so?” She looked up at him “i know they will. Madame Pomfrey’s taking good care of them in the mean time” he wiped a tear off her cheek “what would i do with out you heart” she said softly his cheeks heated up “crash and burn probably” he chuckled “want to go get some food? Prim must be wondering where you are” he suggested “yeah. Lets leave George alone with his Mia” she jested earning a chuckle from him he helps her up from her chair intertwining their fingers pulling her to the common room smiling she catches Angelinas eye she shot Artemis a glare “Freddie slow down” she laughs “youre going to pull my arm off!” She laughed again “come on Voice its this way” he giggled with her pulling her to a corner of the common room “come on already i wanna see Hemolele” he laughed loudly “you just saw her at the beginning of the year!” “so its not everyday i get to see a small three headed dog!” He crossed his arm over his chest “ugh. I swear shes annoying as shit” she said loudly her smile faltered as she shook her head “lets just go take care of the animals” she gave him a small smile “i need to feed Kamaile. I just got his krill in” she told him he nodded slightly as they walked to the dorm room he opened the door to their room “hey Lee. Apollo” she smiled “Artie” Apollo kissed her cheek “we’re going to feed the animals” she said as she placed her bag down “see you when you guys get back love birds” “we’re not love birds” her cheeks became red “not yet you arent. But someday you will be” he smiled “Apollooooooo” she groaned he put his hands up in defeat “sorry sorry” he laughed they walked into Hemolele’s pen “shes getting bigger” Fred said looking up at Artemis petting the dog in his lap “she is” Artie said hopping on to the table watching him “whats really bothering you Artemis?” He asked softly “a lot of things” she said softer “anything you want to share?” He asked as the puppy yelped he squeezed the squeaky toy throwing it the little three headed dog ran to the toy “nothing in particular” she said softly “voice..” he trailed “its nothing Freddie” she smiled “its not nothing if its bothering you like this” he said “its just… i miss my dad” she sighed out “he always knew what to say when i was feeling wonky.” She sighed looking up at the ceiling sje waved her wand and soon an image of stars came out “just an enchantment” she laid on the grassy pen floor sighing out he laid next to her on the grass his head next to hers “see that one thats Orion” he pointed up “that ones pegasus and the mama bear and baby bear” he smiled “you know a lot about this stuff dont you?” She laughed “when mum would yell at is. Me and George as kids. We’d sneak out or more like Id sneak out to the pond and lay on the rocks to clear my head watching the stars. I started to read books about astronomy and its just a guilty pleasure i guess” he sighed. 

“That ones Sirius, and Rigel” she points he looks up “ive always wanted to get a necklace from Madame Hanks jewelry store and get a necklace of those stars, my dad and Baby brother that i never got to meet Regulus was supposed to be named after my Uncle Reggie” she shrugged as she glanced to him “you know. When we were kids, Apollo used to point out the stars to me too. Its something our dad did with him when he was upset” She smiled “why would you get in trouble?” She asked confused “mum didnt like the fact that we would prank and enjoyed a good laugh. Half the time shed mistake me for George. Every one in my family does, mix us up. Its hard not having our own identities. It bothers George more than it bothers me but dont get me wrong it still hurts” he shrugs “thats why it surprised us. When you said ‘no i know im right. Youre George Fred is on the other side of Lee’ in first on the boats. Thats what really solidified your friendship with George” “and what about you? What did it solidify with you?” She looked at him he turned his head to look at her mimicking the way she was looking at him moving his face closer to hers upside down “it solidified that you were the girl thatd come in smash up and change my life” he said softly “the girl that would change your life?” She questioned him “You changed my life. You became my voice of reason. I guess the only reason why i pranked you so hard the first and second years is because i didnt want mine and George’s dynamic to change, i was happy or at-least i thought i was, me and George against everyone and anyone i didnt want to change that, i didnt want to be your friend, i didnt want George to be your friend he wouldve broken us the two of us me and him up by adding you into the mix. I thought that there wouldnt be enough for me if you came into our world. i thought everything would be fine and normal if it was only me and George.  just the way it was but spending detention with you. Knowing you. You brought out a side of me i didnt know i had. You added to me and George and theres so much between the three of us i dont know why i thought that there wouldnt be enough. So much so that Youre my best friend. And youre closer to me than George is it scares me BUT i cant imagine my life without you.” he shook his head her eyes widened “you mean a lot to my entire family and you dont even realize it.” He sighed sitting up he turns away from her “why do you do that?” She asks sitting up and facing him “do what?” He looks at her confused “the cat and mouse game we play. Something gets too deep and leave when our conversations get deep on your end?” “Because im afraid” he looks down “afraid?” “Im afraid of getting close to someone thats not George im afraid that if someone knows me more than my brother does, that if i open up my world i lose him and he wont need me anymore which i know its stupid we’ll always need eachother the more people that are in our world doesnt mean less its…” he breathed out closing his eyes she cups his face looking up at him “Let me be the person for you that you are for me. Let me in, i wont hurt you Fred. Let me be your person how youre mine” she whispered he leaned his forehead on hers “lean on me like how i lean on you” she whispers closing her eyes “youre right im sorry okay? Its something i need to work on” he breathes out “its something we both need to work on i run away too. Its not just you” she leaned closer his eyes dart to her lips back to her closed eyes she leans further up feeling their lips brush against eachother his heart speeds up “we should go” she said softly

 “i know. I want to stay like this for a little longer, its nice having someone listen to me” he said “i feel so ignored at home like im lumped together with someone else half the time its with George half the time its with Ron and we’re all fighting for mums approval i know me and George act like we dont crave that sort of thing but its.. its nice to be supported and feel supported. Youre the only person that supports our dreams of running a joke shop. Mum and dad want us to go into the ministry” he said falling back onto his back “who cares what your mum wants? Will working at the ministry make you happy Fred?” She asked laying back down his heart sped up at how openly she talked to him about his dreams “no it wouldnt” he sighed “i think its brave. And you both will do amazing things” she smiled “follow your heart Freddie. And the right people will support you. Im always in your corner” she smiled heat rushing to her cheeks “now tell me about wizard wheezes” she looked up to the stars as he talked

“Artemis!!” She looked over her shoulder to Ron and Harry running to her in the library “do you have any books on this?” Harry asked her as she unfolded the piece of paper “Mione figured it out. Its a basilisk” he said catching his breath “wheres the twins?” Ron asked “detention? Why?” She asked “WE’RE GETTING OFF TOPIC!” Harry shoved Rons shoulder “right. Sorry Harry. Hagrid is innocent he didnt open the chamber the first time” Ron filled in “the passed three nights have been an absolute nightmare you wouldnt believe” Ron panted “come with us. We need to meet up with Apollo!” Harry said quickly pulling her along by her robe “we have to send the students home a child has been taken into the chamber! Im afraid this is the end of Hogwarts” Migonigal cries “so sorry dozed off what did i miss?” Lockheart said “a girl has been snatched by the monster lockheart your moment has come atlast” “my mom..moment” lockheart says to Snape when Apollo comes up behind them Harry looks to him with his finger over his mouth Apollo nodded as the adults talked “Ginny Weasley has been taken” Minerva said Artemis’s eyes widened she shot her gaze to Ron who looked like he was going to puke “we’ll find her Ronnie” she re assured him the teachers move and they saw what was written ‘her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever’ Artemis’s hands flew to her mouth “Ron lets get to lockhearts now!” Artemis and Apollo say at the same time “we might not be able to get into the chamber but we can tell lockheart everything we know!” Harry yelled as he ran up the steps of the DADA classroom “PROFESSOR WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU!” Harry said as lockheart frantically packed his bags “just where the hell do you think you’re going” Artemis’s voice low “urgent call unavoidable” “WHAT ABOUT GINNY!” She yelled as Ron asked about his sister “YOU CANT JUST LEAVE YOU COWARD!” She yelled as the four of them held their wands to his face “youre helping us. And you cant say no.” Apollo said in a dangerous voice Harry and Ron led them to the bathroom “Okay Harry. What next?” Artemis asked “try speaking parselmouth to the sink” Ron suggested soon the sinks started moving opening a slide “well? Who first?” Lockheart asked “you have got to be joking” Artemis rolled her eyes at him “youre the adult you go first!” She exclaimed shoving him forward “hurry up lets get Ginny” she rolled her eyes at the lot of them jumping in after him they run through the pipes when they find a snake skin “Harry. Stay close to me” she whispered Gilderoy fainted and snatched Rons wand Apollo pulls Ron behind him raising his wand mimicking Artemis on the other side of the chamber he makes a low threat when he tried to obliviate Ron his wand backfired “PROTEGO!” Apollo placed a protection spell over him and Ron and separated Artemis and Harry from Apollo and Ron as the dust settled around them “HARRY! HARRY!” Ron called out “LIA! LIA YOU ALRIGHT?!?” Apollo called out “IM FINE!” She yelled “RON!” Harry yelled “WE’RE ALRIGHT TOO!” He yelled “lockhearts memory charm backfired! He dosent remember anything!” Ron yelled out “STAY THERE! We’ll find Ginny!” Artemis yelled “BE CAREFUL LIA!” Apollo screamed “i dont want to get punched by Fred” he said more to himself than to the group “oh tell me about it when he finds out she was in danger he’s going to lose his marbles. In love with her that one its bloody disgusting” Ron looked to Apollo “i think its cute” Apollo chuckles “its nice someone else has my sister’s back” Apollo looked at Ron “we all have Artie’s back even if she calls me Carrots” he rolls his eyes “i swear shes an older Ginny sometimes. But theres no one better to have in your corner than Artemis” he said sitting down on the ground after knocking out lockheart

Harry and Artemis come to a door thats made out of snakes he speaks parselmouth to it and it opens in the room lies Ginny on the floor in the chamber “Harry” Artemis grabs his shoulder they look at eachother and ran to Ginny “Harry why the fuck is that?!” Artemis screamed trying to wake Ginny up “i think thats Tom Riddle” he whispered “Tom help us. We have to get her out of here!” He yelled “Harry i dont think he’s on our side” she said suddenly the water started flowing faster as he spelled out his name ‘voldemort’ her eyes widened “HARRY! GET BACK!” She yelled standing in front of Ginnys unconscious body he spoke to the giant snake that chased us “join me. And you two shall survive. Ginny must die the weaker she grows. The stronger i get” he repeats as Harry gets chased by the basilisk “AND BETRAY ALBUS! HE IS THE GREATEST WIZARD KNOWN TO MAN MY LOYALTIES LIE WITH HIM” Artemis yelled holding her ground in front of Ginny she unzipped her bag whistling her whistle soon Kamaile and Igneous fly out of the bag “Iggie Guard Ginny keep her safe. Kamaile come with me we have to help Harry!” Kamaile claws the eyes of the basilisk out when Fawkes comes in dropping the sorting hat “ah ms. Artemis. How nice to see you” the hat spoke “FOOLISH GIRL! You think you can defeat the basilisk with songbirds and old hats! You are much more powerful than this rise to your full potential daughter of the great wizard Merlin the future heir will be born from you” He yelled out as Artemis ran to where Harry was getting there just in time she looks in the hat and takes the sword out of the hat “HARRY! Get to Ginny now!” She yelled Igneous can only do so much!” He nodded as she took on the basilisk on her own she led it back to the front of the chamber when she heard Harrys anguished scream the basilisk tripped her making her land on her back she groaned dropping the sword just out of reach as the basilisk opened its large mouth about to snap down on her he grabbed the sword and the basilisk bit down lodging three fangs into her arm as the sword embedded it self into its skull effectively killing it she takes the fangs out of her upper arm Ginny slowly starting to wake “Artemis. We have to stab the diary before we all die down here” Harry groaned in pain she nodded whistling again “Kamaile back in the bag!” She yelled “Iggie i need you to help me” she started to breathe heavy as the venom started to work its way through her system Harry defeated Tom Riddle grabbing his Diary and basilisk fang Ginny shoots awake “come on Gin. Put your arms around me i have to get you out of here before i dont have any strength left. Harry. Take Igneous and get Ron Apollo and lockheart out of here. Meet us at the hospital wing” she breathes heavily  he nodded Ginny wrapped her arms around Artemis’s neck as she snapped her fingers “POMFREY!” She yelled in the darkness of the room Ginny lets go of her the doors fly open revealing George, Fred and Percy following behind Minerva

“Ginny!” Percy yelled as he cupped her face in his hand Artemis’s vision started to fade with black dots she stumbled back before she could hit the ground Fred caught her “woah there voice i got you” he cooed looking up to Ginny “she got bit by the basilisk!” Ginny yelled as Fred laid her down on the cott George coming to the other side of Ginny bombarding her with questions Fawkes came flying in landing on her knees crying onto her bite marks ‘i got here just in time’ Fawkes thought as the tears healed him “thanks Fawkes, i owe you my life”Artemis breathes out to him as she pets his head Dumbledore comes in and sees Artemis petting Fawkes “ah Ms. Black. you mustve shown great loyalty to gryffindor and myself if Fawkes was summoned to you. might i have a word with you, Apollo and Harry when you get sorted out?” he asks as Artemis looked over to Ron Harry and Apollo “you three okay?” she asked “thanks to you yes” Harry said she whistles out opening her bag Igneous flies in she finally looks over to Fred who slowly walked over to her and breathlessly says “you saved my sister my little sister” putting his hands on to the collar of her shirt smashing his lips on hers shock flowed through Artemis her eyes wide as she melts into the kiss kissing him back she puts her hand on his face he wrapped an arm around her neck taking her face in his hands as he pulls away slightly “that was for saving my sister” he breathed out giving her a soft smile his heart racing her face matching the color of his hair he heads straight to Ginny her fingers touch her mouth in surprise as Harry smirks at her “lets go see what Dumbledore wants yeah?” he asks as the pair slowly walk out of the room Harry and her walk out of the infirmary he sees her walk to harry about to leave“PROTECT HER POTTER!” Fred yelled “dont let her out of your sight. Bring Voice back to me alive and safe” he walked up to harry holding out his hand for him to shake “i’ll protect her with my life. The way she protects me and all of us” Harry said shaking his hand “i’ll hold you to it Potter” Fred squeezes his hand letting go  “i’ll talk to you after we go see Dumbledore?” She asked “im sorry about the kiss” he put his head on hers “friends?” A knife stabbed through his heart as the question flew from his mouth her smile faltered and her anxiety filled her she leaned into him lips brushing against his before she could stop herself she pressed her lips gently on his, he took in her strawberry lipgloss she breathed out leaning back slightly his lips tasted like cinnamon as if to test the waters he moved back to her face moving his lips slowly against hers with more fervor he lets out a shaky breath when she pulls away fully not wanting to stop kissing her “there. Now you cant be sorry for kissing me because i kissed you too. friends. Best friends. Take care of Ginny for me” she smiles leaning her forehead against his “talk more when i get back?” She asked he nodded pressing a kiss to her forehead “Always Voice. My voice” he whispered. 

“Ginny!” Percy yelled as he cupped her face in his hand Artemis’s vision started to fade with black dots she stumbled back before she could hit the ground Fred caught her “woah there voice i got you” he cooed looking up to Ginny “she got bit by the basilisk!” Ginny yelled as Fred laid her down on the cott George coming to the other side of Ginny bombarding her with questions Fawkes came flying in landing on her knees crying onto her bite marks ‘i got here just in time’ Fawkes thought as the tears healed him “thanks Fawkes, i owe you my life”Artemis breathes out to him as she pets his head Dumbledore comes in and sees Artemis petting Fawkes “ah Ms. Black. you mustve shown great loyalty to gryffindor and myself if Fawkes was summoned to you. might i have a word with you, Apollo and Harry when you get sorted out?” he asks as Artemis looked over to Ron Harry and Apollo “you three okay?” she asked “thanks to you yes” Harry said she whistles out opening her bag Igneous flies in she finally looks over to Fred who slowly walked over to her and breathlessly says “you saved my sister my little sister” putting his hands on to the collar of her shirt smashing his lips on hers shock flowed through Artemis her eyes wide as she melts into the kiss kissing him back she puts her hand on his face he wrapped an arm around her neck taking her face in his hands as he pulls away slightly “that was for saving my sister” he breathed out giving her a soft smile his heart racing her face matching the color of his hair he heads straight to Ginny her fingers touch her mouth in surprise as Harry smirks at her “lets go see what Dumbledore wants yeah?” he asks as the pair slowly walk out of the room Harry and her walk out of the infirmary he sees her walk to harry about to leave“PROTECT HER POTTER!” Fred yelled “dont let her out of your sight.

Still in shock of what had just happened “you think that it meant something more?” Harry asked breaking the silence “i think it was just an excitement thing. I dont think he’ll remember it tomorrow” she sighed out her voice cracking in hurt “im not so sure about that Lia girl that second kiss is like he didnt want you to stop kissing him” Apollo said bumping her shoulder “you shouldve heard the way he talked about you” he continued “you all keep saying that” she rolled her eyes at them “you love him dont you?” Harry asked curiously “I think i always have. I probably always will.” She whispered Harry gave her a reassuring smile “i think he’s in love with you too for what its worth, with the way he keeps threatening me” Harry gave her a small smile “he deserves someone who isnt broken.” She whispered “youre not broken Artemis” Apollo said sternly “traumatized maybe. But youre not broken” Apollo wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “How are things going with Lee?” She asked him “theyre going great. He’s amazing Artemis” Apollo smiled “im happy for you Baba” she smiled as the phoenix statue took them up “ah yes, hello kids” Albus stated as they approached the desk “have a seat” he said as they sat down “the diary if you please mr. Potter” he said holding out his hand Harry hands him the diary “sir…” Artemis started “while we were battling Riddle and the Basilisk. He called me Daughter of the great wizard Merlin… and that the next heir would be born from me…. Just what did he mean by that?” She asked “Apollo, Artemis. Your mother left this in my care after she got sick” he said handing them a phial of her memories “she instructed me to give them to you when you two were ready. I do believe that time has come” he raised his hands and the pensive came out of the wall “go on my dear.” He said as she dumped the phial into the water she glanced to Apollo who just grabbed her hand reassuringly they dipped their heads into the pensive

‘Sirius, theres things we need to talk about Love’ as she rubbed her belly ‘about me’ she sighed out he sat down next to her on the bed ‘im listening love’ he smiled ‘long… long ago a wizard who helped a man named Arthur who wielded a sword called excalibur in a passed life, that wizard then came to America, he settled down on an island in the middle of the pacific ocean. His golden eyes landed on a girl…. A girl he instantly fell in love with they went on to have a baby that was named Marlene, who carried the golden eyes her father carried the ability to speak to animals the ability to touch and play memories in others heads to know what their thinking when looking into their eyes. Marlene went on to marry a pureblooded wizard from england. Of the last name Nott’ she said quietly ‘from that line came my mother, Artemis. That wizard who started my lines name was Merlin’ she breathed out as he squeezed her knee ‘these babies… the females inherit the traits while the males, the males are seers.’ She looked at him ‘our babies are heirs of Merlin, theyll be in danger, especially with the dark lord gaining power. He’ll seek out the daughters to strengthen his line’ ‘Athena. Nothings going to happen to our children’ he put a hand on her belly ‘you dont understand Sirius! Im a seer!’ She yelled ‘I inherited both abilities, theyre going to hurt our daughter!’ She cried into her hands ‘love…. Our daughter will be fine.’ ‘Shes mine. He sent in the papers. Legally. Both of our kids. Theyre both mine Pualena’ he whispered into her hair ‘and i wont let anything bad happen to our babies. Altear and Narcissa, Moony and James will protect them’ he chuckles ‘heaven forbid anyone get in the path of Lily and Jake. Theyre crazy those two’ he laughed ‘come on. Lets go to bed. I’ll sing to you’ he rubs her back the memory flashes to Dumbledores office ‘Albus! Albus! Sirius is going to get framed! We need to move James Lily and Harry now! Hes going to kill them!’ She yelled ‘what will you give me in return?’ He asked ‘anything! Everything! Me! Kill me.’ She whispered ‘Me for Harry. My god son. And Lily his mother.’ she held out her hand ‘i’ll take your bargain but if Lily doesnt come willingly theres nothing i can do. For sure Harry will be safe.’ Albus sighs out ‘just keep me alive long enough to get this baby out’ she sighed he nodded making the deal handing her the potion she downed it shaking her hand ‘promise me youll take care of Artemis and Apollo. I left you the vision, the prophecy. If this is how winning the war will play out. I’ll do it. But im going to fight for my husband.’ she said looking into his eyes ‘i wouldnt expect anything less Athena.’ He said quietly the memory fades into another ‘LYING SON OF A BITCH!’ Athena threw a pan at Albus ‘YOU SAID HARRY WOULD BE SAFE! YOU GAVE HIM TO THE DURSLEYS! HES ANYTHING BUT SAFE!’ She yelled ‘HARRY IS MY GOD SON HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME TO ME! IT WAS WRITTEN IN JAMES’S WILL!! I SIGNED THE ADOPTION PAPERS! HARRY’S MY SON TOO!’ ‘Athena. You have a few months left to live. The curse is eating you and you wanted to take the child!’ He reasoned ‘ANYTHINGS BETTER THAN GIVING HIM TO PETUNIA AND VERNON!’ She screamed ‘this is the way things have to play out you know as well as i that this is what has to play out’ Albus takes her hands in his

‘My four kids deserve better than this theyre all under five! Fighting an adult war! How is this fair!” She cried “its not fair, not at all Athena. But its what has to happen. How Regulus died. And how Sirius was framed. The kids your kids, theyll be the ones to end the war.’ He looked at her ‘and youre sure Artemis and Apollo have to go to Walburga?’ ‘Im sorry Athena.’ He said as she broke down in tears he comforted her ‘i dont think im going to make it to Reggies birth’ she whispered ‘this potion is getting worse’ she whispered  ‘im sorry Athena. Its just a few more weeks you have to hold out’ he brushes her hair out of her face ‘does it have to be Artemis! Does she really need to go through all this!!’ Athena yelled ‘shes going to be… theyre going to…’ Athena breaks down ‘let me take her place I’m the true heir!’ Athena yelled ‘Athena, the curse is killing you she needs to take your place’ Albus shook his head ‘shes just a little girl!’ Athena yelled falling to her knees

She got to the great hall where everyone was sitting Apollo sitting next to Lee talking happily she sat down across from Fred between Harry and Apollo glancing up to him he gave her a small shy smile “hey” he said from across the table “hey heart” she smiled a smile that made his heart sped up when the great halls doors opened again Hermione bounced down the halls she ran straight to Artemis and Harry almost knocking her down in a hug  she lets go and shakes Rons hand Hagrid thanks Harry and they eat their feast she entered her dorm room and went into her bag with her folded belongings floating behind her humming to herself Apollo placing his trunk into the library he started playing her ukulele she looked at him “come on Art i wanna see” he said as he played the intro of the song “Apollo really not right now” he dragged her out to the enchanted beach “just this once” he said playing the song “fine.” She smiled “makaukau” he asked “ ʻAe” she said readying herself “ooooooh ooh haaa haaaah hoooo oooh” he sung as she moved gracefully  “Mohala mai kapua i ka la” she swayed her hips moving her hands in a fluid motion “ola no kaʻaina i kaua” she spun slowly going into the next movements “e kuu pua kiele nani e koʻala o nauna e maku nei” she swayed her hips to his singing her eyes following her hand movements throughout the song smiling a big smile “e kua hoʻoheno mai i luna, e hiwahiwa na ka puuwai” she crossed her hands on her chest Fred and George standing slack jawed at the entrance of the bag “e kuʻu pua kiele nani e he nani lua ole alohi nei” she looks up bringing her crossed arms from her waist up and out in a circle bending her knees and standing with her arms open level with her shoulders flipping her hands up she brings her left arm up into an L shape “e pa aheahe kamakani i ka honua” bringing her left arm over her head and back again as he sang the line walking backward as both hands go over her head swaying her hips bringing her hands out in front of her waist dancing palms down to her chest moving to the side bringing her arms in “E kuʻuipo e lei noa i kou aloha” up and around her neck spreading her arms out wide turning “e kuʻuipo, e lei noa i kou aloha” she danced the last of the song out bowing with one arm to the side one arm stretched out Fred watched her dance like he was in a trance he couldnt tear his eyes away from her his heart stilled in his chest it was like it was hard for him to breathe Apollo was the first to look up and to the entrance of the bag George and Fred still looking at Artemis Apollo smirked when she looked up she turned her head to the side and looked at the twins “oh… hey” she stood up cheeks burning red “ive gotta finish packing and securing the animals” she said turning her heel “that. Was hula” Apollo smirked walking over to Fred putting an arm over his shoulders “amazing isnt she?” Fred gulped down nodding looking in the direction she went in “go. Tell her you love her” Apollo said “its not the right time yet” Fred looked to his Brother and Apollo. “Rubbish” George started “nows the perfect time. Dont muck up that kiss” “im not ready George” Fred shook his head “its okay to take it slow” Apollo said pushing him forward “dont hurt my sister” he said as Fred walked “wouldnt dream of it Apollo”

He walked into Igneous’s pen where she was rubbing a potion onto his side to soothe the cut he got from Riddle “there we go boy. That should do it” she smiled up at the bird he put his head on hers “thank you.. for protecting Ginny while i went after the Basilisk” she grinned “fish dinners for a week” his tongue licked her cheek as Fred walked up to the bird “so its you who i have to thank” he petted the birds neck as he looked up into his eyes “we were all losing our minds back in the common room. And when we couldnt find Harry or Artie. We knew something was a foot” he continued to talk to the bird “seeing her faint in the hospital wing was one of the most scariest things ive ever had to witness next to her almost dying last year, and when Ginny said she got bitten by the basilisk i thought she was going to leave me alone. And my world was going to shrink down to just me and George again. Which is a total prat thing to think cause Apollo Harry and Hermione is our friends as well i cant imagine my life without voice in it. It wouldnt be the same it wouldnt be what it is now…” he sighed out as the thunderbird laid down “when she was okay. It felt like a weight was taken off of my chest. My best friend…. Saved my baby sister. She took a basilisk bite for my little sister… i had to kiss her. I dont know what came over me its like my body wasnt my own, and my body acted. I thought i fucked it up with the best friendship i ever had but then when i apologize. she kissed me back. And told me now i cant be sorry cause she kissed me too… then i saw her dance. Im scared for things to change between us.. not yet it feels too soon to change, maybe im being an idiot and a coward and i dont want her think im ignoring what happened between us… cause im not ignoring it or forgetting about it. How could i forget my first kiss… it took my breath away… and i dont want her to think that i dont want too. Cause i do, i did want to kiss her. I just dont want to overwhelm her and make her pull away from me…. Not when i just got someone as amazing loving kind and sweet to be my friend… i dont want to lose that if it was too much too soon” her heart sped up “youre not going to lose me Heart. I was scared too.” Her voice soft “i wanted to do what i did.” She smiled at him “youre amazing Kahalialaulani. Youre my voice” he whispered moving a piece of her hair out of her face “and youre my heart” she said “we keep eachother safe.” He smiled as she finished the sentence

22, 44, 65 for Arnoud 🖤

This also got quite long quite quicky so it's going under the cut

22. What is a promise that they have broken.

Honestly that's kinda of a difficult question to answer becuse due to both his lack of people hes close to and his lack of faith in himself making promises is something he actively avoids doing

So instead I will cover the promises he has made and their current status

1. He promised his cousins Darr and Jezzika that he would find out why they have been slipping in and out of time and from location to location having so far been unable to accomplish their task of finding The Black Key for Cecily. They also asked him to let Cecily know that they're still working to accomplish their task if shes asks becuase they all know how cruel she can be when she dosent get exactly what she wants. He said he would try but he never promised he would but it's still relevant.

He found their corpses rotting in a basement two weeks later having signs of having been decomposing for at least six weeks. He's currently still working with them on a daily basis and s big goal they have is to fix the cycle of life/death/rebirth that had been broken 20 years ago because in that time no spirits have been able to move on most getting trapped on the 9th layer of hell but some of which like Darr and Jezzika with particularly stong connections and goals are trapped in the world.

2. Remeber how Arnoud didnt promise Darr and Jezzika that he would tell Cecily that they're on task. Well when Cecily asked he told her that they had been dead for nearly two months. To which she responded by once again reminding him of the importance of withholding information and also her "kindness and mercy" by murdering their parents so they would never have to mourn the deaths of their children.

When Arnoud told them about this interaction they didnt really blame him becuse they know how she is but they did ask he burry them with their family in Wirholme if he ever got the chance. He promised he would the party hasn't made it that far south yet but their corpses are in a bag of holding untill we can get there.

3. Davidian Vanderwall is an interesting character I havent had much chance to talk about and he deserves a few rants of his own but what's necessary here is 500 years ago he met Umbril D'Kane and became obsessed with her immortality. He thought if he could live forever there would be no limit to the lives he could save. He tracked her down and drank her blood. Neither of them are vampires but it was enough to give him her curse.

Over centuries of fighting and watching everyone he knew either die or turn on him for what hed done he became weary and wanted it all to be over he turned to umbril seeking release unable to die untill she does. He became tied and trapped as her errand boy who's only wish became their mutual destruction.

Arnoud even though hes not a grave cleric quite yet he still has always had a very strong belief in decay and its importance in all of its forms. He also knows what it's like to be ensnared and abused by a hot evil magic lady.

So Arnoud promised hed do what he could to help him find a true and peaceful death and when he met umbril he did the same for her.

A bunch of stuff has gone down in the game since then. I suspect that Umbril has fully been murdered by Cecily based off of how shes been acting lately. I'll find out for sure next session. As for the current whereabouts of Davidian it's been at least three months since anyone in our party has made contact with him. As far as we know hes off in the swamp somewhere trying to contact the Cabal of Decay to give them the severed head of the god of Murder. How recent events with Umbril have affected him I'm unable to say.

4. The biggest promise he made was to himself. 23 years ago he promised himself he would destroy the monster that desecrated his mother grave 13 years ago that same monster very directly destroyed his life. That monster being Cecily.

Whether or not he broke that promise by falling in love with her is up for debate. Hes no longer trying to put a stake through her heart but he is softening it and in a very literal way hes trying to save her soul remove the things that made her a monster in the first place.

#oc tag #arnoud darkwell #thank you for asking 🥺🖤 #i answerd all of this but for some reason the last two got deleted 😭

[eggedsaladnotlickbait]

sploon (mainly deep cut) headcanons because its nearly midnight and whats better than sleep??? sploon hyperfixation. plus thisll act as a good dumping ground for headcanons that are canon to my oc au im developing, which includes my agents n stuff

all of them are neurodivergent in some way because, as a neurodivergent person, its VERY hard to try and write a character who isnt. so uh oops

LABELS: shiver is agender and use they/he/other pronouns. they also give me afab vibes (yeah yeah i know theyre wearing a sarashi and not bandages, im mainly going off their vibes and the fact that sarashi can double as a (much safer) binding practice when compared to bandages). they just think they/he pronouns are fun to say and hear, but literally any pronouns are fine for them. their lack of gender makes them above the concept of gender itself, iconic. ill mainly refer to them using they/them pronouns for simplicity. also theyre hella bi and tbh give me vibes that theyre somewhere on the asexual spectrum

frye is enby and uses she/they pronouns. shes very ace vibes and is biromantic

big man doesnt really mind nor actively choose labels for himself. hes just vibing as his he/him self and honestly? so true of him

agents 3 and 4 are both non-binary while agent 8 is polygender (i think thats the word? correct me if im wrong. basically multi-track drifting but in gender form and not exactly genderfluid since the gender is consistently yes). also im a supporter of agent 96 propaganda because 1 the ship name is funny and 2 fun dymanics

agent 3 gives me they/she asexual-demiromantic vibes. like its just true, trust me my dad is nintendo he told me

agent 4 is giving me they/them asexual of pure chaos and energy. also gives me demiromantic vibes but like in the opposite way to agent 3 if that makes sense. theyre both two sides of a spectrum

agent 8 never understood labels and stuff. thats not even coming from the octarian army or something, he just. never vibed with it. so instead shes yes to gender and loves their partners and thats all that matters to them

OTHER THINGS:

frye is the one who taught shiver inkling when shiver defected from the octarian army, aka they knew how to curse people out first and foremost, much to their frye's enjoyment and big man's dismay

frye streams gaming content and has one of those mics that go completely silent whenever she screams or yells too close to it. their alert for someone subscribing to their streaming channel is a voice clip of her breaking her microphone's audio input while playing a horror game

deep cut live in a nice apartment together and each have their own rooms (my oc rome has a room as well but shhh this isnt about him)

big man has a lot of plants in his room that he takes very good care of :3 all the handles to stuff is also larger so his fins can hold em better!! id think hed like soft things, so hes definitely got bean bag chairs and comfy blankets to snuggle up in

frye has a bunch of space to climb around in her room, like theyve got a thick fishing net attached to their ceiling and will crawl up and use it as a hammock. shes also got a bunk bed with a desk underneath!!!

shiver's room is nice and tidy, but still has a lot of decoration and personality to it. theyve got their aesthetic down and everything!! plus id imagine theyd like scented candles, so their room always has a soft scent to it. nothing overpowering ofc, just a subtle smell that makes the room feel nice. also, they own like a billion games and keep em all in a cabinet

shiver can whistle REALLY loudly due to losing one of their fangs (their top left fang since we already cant really see it if it's there). they use this power on their float during splatfest when the whistle part of their solo comes up

ill add more later but right now im tired sleepy so gn gay people im going to bed

Hydroelectric rocket science Part 2

(the two stared at each with confusion and shock before wyrdo shouted)

THE FRAG ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

"NO THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU WASHED UP MOTOR ENGINE?!" Roya screamed

OI NOW I DIDN'T COME HERE AGAINST MY OWN WILL, I JUST WANTED TO BE FIXED AND GET BACK TO WHERE I CAME FROM! SO WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT AND WHY ARE YOU HERE!? Wyrdo snapped back at the coated woman

"I JUST WANTED TO MAKE MYSELF A NEW LIFE YA PILE OF BLUE SCRAP!"

Well good for you Miss PRICK. BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE-

(the 2 bickered at each other for over a minute while the cacturne, the odd looking vespiquen, and the nurse just looked at the 2 before nurse joy sighed and then shouted)

"QUIET!!!"

(both the robot and trainer jumped (with wyrdo's head hopping) from the sudden shout of the nurse before bowing their heads)

"Sorry!"

I apologize...

(The nurse just rubbed her temples before speaking again)

"Now then miss Roya I know that you and Wyrdo here have a... Complicated relationship between you both but please don't fight while there are Pokemon healing still."

"Yeah I'll simmer down then. Wait shouldn't they be done healing as of now?"Roya questioned

"About that... Wyrdo's team here got quite the nasty injuries here, I'm afraid it'll take a couple hours for them to heal. " The nurse joy rubbed her head as she answered

"Damn..." Roya cursed

(Both she and her Pokemon make a groaning sound as they walked and float off to the side, she then began to look at the machine then the currently in pieces robot)

"Wait what even in the distortion world happened to you that led up to well.... that?" Roya gestures to the mess that is wyrdo

It's a long story for me Roya, but to put it short. I picked a fight with an evil team admin and blew up after overloading my HED and knocking all of my heavily injured team into the ocean with me in the process and here I am now. Washed up here. Wyrdo tiredly responed

"Damn I never thought you would be that reckless but here I am seeing your aftermath." Roya amused

Very funny. Wyrdo deadpanned

Anyways I need to find the gym leader here to help me with my situation but me and my team that was carrying me went to here 1st since I wanted them to be patched up. The problem is that I don't have a way to get around until my team is ready to go again.

(Roya looked at the speaking Wyrdo with a contemplating look before she side and then picked up wyrdo's head)

Oi what are ya doin!?

"Don't mistake this for me doing this as a friend or anything, I just want you to be gone as soon as possible, water bucket. You two help me out with this grab the parts of this scrap heap. " Roya quickly replied with a little less fierceness in her tone as she walked out of the center.

Hmph figures you would say that. Wyrdo remarked with less aggression in his robotic tone

(the vespiquen and cacturne looked at each other before groaning In irritation and grabbing the other parts of wyrdo's body and walked alongside with her. Well that was until nurse joy spoke up again holding several full restores in her hands)

Wait miss Roya may I offer you a few free full restores for your troubles and delay?

"...sure I'll take em. Actually can you spray those 2 with them and I'll take the last one in my bag." Roya answered

(the nurse nodded and did her work with the 2 Pokemon, and then gives the last restore to Roya, who grabs it with her free hand and puts it in a slingbag she was holding and then left with her companions and wyrdo's parts)

ren  normally  isn't  one  for  HOLIDAY  CHEER,  but  the  least  he  do  is  put  on  a  smile  for  the  strange  little  family  he's  (  somehow,  against  all  odds  )  found  for  himself.  ❝  alright.  line  up.  hold  out  your  hands.  ❞   he  gives  a  tiny  chuckle  and  nods  at  the  bag  by his side,   ❝  i  come  bearing  gifts.  ❞

farrow  is  up  first.  ren  hands  him  a  small  box.  inside  is  a  wooden  lock  puzzle,.  while  comprised  of  many  different  pieces,  it  feels  surprisingly  sturdy  and  built  to  last.   ❝  it's  from  sumeru.  ❞   he  explains.  ❝  you  could  say  i  took  inspiration  from  someone.  ❞   something  to  keep  the  mind  and  hands  preoccupied,  if  nothing  else. he knows from experience how helpful that kind of thing can be.

taiyang's  gift  comes  in  a  bag.  it's  a  sango  pearl  —  and  an  especially  lovely  example  of  one,  at  that.  (  as  if  someone  painstakingly  took  their  time  to  choose  the  nicest  they  could  find...  )  it's  large  enough  to  be  held  in  both  hands,  and  its  surface  shimmers  like  the  light  of  the  moon  upon  the  ocean's  waves.   ❝  from  inazuma.  it's  just  something  to  look  at  when  you  need  a  reminder  of  that  great,  big  world  out  there.  ❞   he  arches  a  brow,  smile  turning  to  a  daring  smirk.   ❝  perhaps  one  day ...  you  might  just  visit  the  island  it  came  from.  ❞

ren blinks suddenly, then spins around to rummage deep in the bag. ❝ oh. right. give these to your MOTHER for me, would you?  ❞ he holds the final gift out to tai. it's a box of assorted fine teas from all across teyvat. ❝ i've tried them all.  ❞ the wanderer explains, with a casual shrug. ❝ they aren't half bad.  ❞

Farrow still honestly wasn't used to receiving gifts from other's, so it always manages to catch him a bit off guard-not that it was a bad thing it just surprised him to think he'd receive something - but this is family so he guess he should have seen this coming, the automaton looked over the puzzle quietly in his hands for a moment as if already trying to figure out where to start , as a small smile tugged onto his face.

["I see I would be lying if my curiosity wasn't a bit peaked by that"],maybe he'd have to seek that inspiration out himself one day or visit sumeru himself one day.

["thank you ren truly,I very much appreciate this"]

Taiyang on the other hand was starry eyed ,he has never seen a pearl so big this one before it was super pretty too! ,he was going to put this right by his bed right where he kept all his special trinkets and special gifts ,he hugged it close to him for a second ,'you  might  just  visit  the  island  it  came  from' ,those words repeated in his head-he really hoped so... someday ,for now however this will be the best reminder he's ever had,(along with a string full of questions about it but he’d try to hold those back for now).

Before he said anything else tai ,nodded taking his mothers gift,and placed it next to his pearl- hed make sure to give it to her when she was done cooking -knowing how se is she'd probably end up using some if it tonight.

"I love it !,thank you so so much big brother!-and I know mama will too!",taiyang got up to give ren a very big hug,”your the best!”

#[ic;taiyang] #[ic;farrow] #that pearl is all tai is gonna talk about for the next week hes so happy🥺 #THIS IS SO WEET THOUGH HECK ;V; #and one day ill make anhe icons ONE DAY
