How would error and nightmare react to their S/O who doesn’t celebrate their birthday?
error:
well... they don't get the whole birthday thing ANYWAY so it's... not really a big deal?
they also don't celebrate their birthday. i mean, they don't exactly remember when they were born... so they just. don't celebrate?
maybe a little confused. they thought birthdays were... important to humans? are they not?
their telenovelas make birthdays out to be better than they are 9 times out of 10
overall, doesn't really matter all that much to them. they may get/make you something small if they know what day your birthday is on, but otherwise they don't do much about it
nightmare:
nightmare also doesn't celebrate his own birthday.
he sees no point in doing so. it only brings up bad memories from when he was young and naïve and weak. brings up bad memories of his brother.
so, he doesn't pry why you don't.
you are the partner of a king. a very powerful king. he likes to spoil you in luxuries and gifts.
of course, if you dont want that, he won't push. he'll make you two a nice dinner, as he often does, and may treat you to one or two of your favourite indulgences, but that's it.
however, if you would let him...
man, you'd be rolling in expensive gifts.
he already gives you nice things on a regular basis, he'd jump at the chance to shower you with things.
giftmas always leaves your house cluttered until you figure out what to do with everything he gives you
however, if you strictly tell him to not give you anything, he wouldn't. he may be a little sulky about it, because he loves to spoil you, but he won't go against your wishes </3
he does still make a point to make himself free for the day. you know, in case you want to do something.
he knows you treat it as just another day, but he sees it as a reminder that you'll age out of existence some day. it's a reminder that he's fallen in love with a mortal, and he doesn't have eternity with you.

Since I am completely not ready to part with these characters from the series (that previous chapter was CRIMINAL!! MY COMFORT CHARACTER!!! GWYN, MY BOY!!! /cries), I'd like to ask, would it still be possible or would you ever consider of making another au for them? (Like the Nascent Diplomat, The Spoils of The Spoiled, etc.)
I don't like to ever rule anything out, but the fact is, right now, I just don't want to keep hurting those characters.
And that means I just don't want to write those characters as central characters anymore, outside of The Nascent Diplomat, which we can all agree is generally the softest and gentlest and most slow burn tenderest version of Gwyn and Augus that exists so far. But still has a fuckton of angst because like, it's me, and I hate writing fluff with every inch of my body until we get to the end or it's really really earned.
My general perspective is like, I've been hurting these characters pretty intensely for nearly a decade, across millions of words, the equivalent of tens of books, and they've earned a break, and so have I, lol. I have new characters to hurt, lmao.
(This is where fanfiction is a wonderful thing, imho).
I am still writing Fae Tales AUs, for example Underline the Black will be an Efnisien/Gary AU with some familiar Fae Tales faces, but I don't plan on centralising Gwyn and Augus in an AU or main story outside of The Nascent Diplomat (or maybe a oneshot or two) for hopefully a good long while - like half a decade, maybe more. And by then, I really hope I've written enough new characters that there's a plenitude of options for AUs etc. across many, many characters.
I love love love so much that people love Gwyn and Augus so much. And I really love them too, they have - whether it's professional or not - become very well-realised, 'real' kind of personalities to me. And it's hit a point where I just kind of...get really drained hurting them. I mean it's very repetitive, it has been a decade basically, and it starts to feel like 'oh boy, guys, I've done nearly everything to you, and I think maybe you just deserve a quiet retirement in all your happy endings across all your stories.'
I also don't want to become a person who writes characters to make other people happy, who then becomes cynical and bitter towards the whole process, or who feels trapped. We've seen what happens in books and TV shows etc. when the creators and writers get tired of a franchise or a series - and to put it nicely - it turns to shit, and creators tend to stop focusing on the integrity of the story. So I'm bailing now, while I believe I've still done well by these characters, still love them, and am not sitting here feeling cynical or bitter because folks want me to write about them for another decade. Instead I get to feel grateful, a little sad, very excited, and relieved that I'm stopping outside of a gentle side story and soft landing. :)
Obviously for folks new to Augus and Gwyn - even if you're 'new' as in the last year, or two years, or five years - it might not feel like you've spent enough time with them. I am sorry for that! They have like the equivalent of 30 full-sized novels about them in serial format, and I am a little spent! I welcome you to realise what I have - which is that a version of those characters will always be with you, and you can create as many new stories for them as you like in your head, and there's always re-reading.
For me, personally, I will mostly just be writing them a lot of mental happy endings. 10 years of being under my very brutal, angst-loving hands, and I think they've more than earned their retirement as my flagship OTP.
At least for another few years anyway. :D

first of all, we’re starting with positives; i’m glad ally a is back. she never should have died in the first place.
but man, fuck that trailer for not even fucking mentioning kira. like, the amount of (continued) disrespect, it makes me so mad. how are you gonna rehash the nogitsune storyline and not have kira, who has ties to the nogitsune, there?! second of all: the kid scott saves in the trailer - that little girl - had better be a tiny little kitsune sent to him by kira or something like that. let them have a khalida-esque figure in their midst too. just this cute tiny kid who is way older than people assume or realize and talks like it too. and third of fucking all: scira endgame or bust.
for all i wanted indian characters and proper indian lore written into this world, i’m now glad that they’ve not done any of that (or so i assume). also: what the hell did they do to mason?! they couldn’t have made him the new emissary instead?!
(not to be nitpicking but i feel like they could have done so much more with so many characters. and i know it’s only the trailer, but i doubt that they’re gonna go in depth with the already established lore the way they could.)
also also: the tw twitter account was like “besties what do we think?” and i almost responded with: i (one of the many aforementioned besties) think that you're missing an integral character. perhaps you've heard of her: she goes by the name of kira yukimura.
