Oki OC time here we go

BUT BEFORE WE DO. I GOTTA TELL YOU A DISCLAIMER. These characters are sourced from a formerly multi-media roleplay I do with my boyfriend!!! I have been doing this roleplay for ~10 years, and we recently changed it to be entirely OC-Centric!!! While they always have been OCs, they were heavily connected to popular media! This is especially evident in the designs of two of the three characters, who were formerly connected heavily to Eddsworld!!! I got attached to certain parts of their designs!!! OH also warning for death! That's a big topic here! Body snatching, too. We clear??? Sweet. Proceed!!!

I LIED MWAHAHAHA here's some background information before we begin.

These guys live in a magical world that got REALLY fucked up after the god-dragon hybrid child of the God of Life and the Dragon of War... well.. attempted to annihilate all life on the planet. Now the only habitable place on Earth, aside from the sea, is Last Hope Island; a group of islands with one large one in the middle. Surrounding Last Hope is a magical barrier- a gift from the God of Life before he disappeared. It protected the inhabitants of the island chain from the Divine Hybrid's wrath over 500 years ago, and now it serves to revive them should they die within its walls. The amount of times they can be revived depends on the fragility of the individual's soul.

OK! Let's start with my golden girl; Mayflower Trace Harley, or "May" for short. She's a big ol' optimistic, plucky, british werewolf girl! Who has never had anything bad happen to her in her entire life!!! Never!!!! (Lie)..

When May was a child, she had a best friend named Christine. A shy, nerdy, blonde human girl who always wore her hair in a loose bun with her bangs always covering her right eye. Through years of friendship, the two kids forged an unbreakable bond. Maybe it had even begun to blossom into something else..

On the day of May's first transformation, Christine accompanied her family in escorting her to the woods. It was there that Christine would make May promise to come back safe, and once she had, the blonde girl gave her best friend a quick kiss on the lips before she left. It was a sweet gesture, one that turned May's cheeks bright red. Unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to discuss it with her friend, as the next day Christine had mysteriously passed away after being rushed to the hospital that very night.

But that was years ago. She's 21 now, and she's the lead singer in her own band dubbed "The Misfits"! She's also a member of Last Hope's military- one that really only exists because of the God of War's angels' insistence on it. There's not really any outside threats left, though... if you don't count the remaining gods, that is. But the Gods seem more keen on nurturing the people of Last Hope than anything else. Hm.... Anyway! May is currently living with two of her long-time friends and... another guy.

And that other guy is TL! An AI entity that formerly resided in May's head and has since been transferred to an android body crafted by a strange, immortal snake man named Dr. Serpentes; a rogue scientist who has apparently been helping his kind for years. You see, long ago before the Draconid War that ravaged the land, technology was advancing at a rapid rate- namely artificial intelligence. AI that, by merely existing, upset the God of Life. Before TL had made it out of his ALPHA stage, the building was brought down at the hands of the disconcerted god. While some of his fellow AI made it out by miraculously transferring themselves into the mangled bodies that littered the floors, TL wasn't that lucky. It wasn't until 5000+ years later that one of the AI who had escaped returned, barely managing to power up a section of the dilapidated ruins and taking a select few files back with him. One of those files housed TL, either luckily or unluckily depending on how you want to look at it. It was then after that he'd transfer his consciousness into May's body, and eventually gain his own.

And what was the first thing he did with this new body? Try to slaughter an innocent god, of course! Cyprus, the God of Love... a god created by the God of Life himself. An extension of the god who ruined TL's life. Cyprus wasn't even around when his father laid waste to the building, but that didn't matter much to TL. Neither of them died, but they both lost something that day; TL his arm and an eye, and Cyprus the luscious wings on his back.

After that stunt, it's safe to say that he isn't very well liked on Last Hope Island. The people don't particularly care for Cyprus much either, though, the poor god's reputation being one of the few reasons TL is even still around. Now he's forced to live with May so that she can monitor him, and therefore Jason and Eric- two fellow AIs with the latter being the one who "brought him back to life." Aka May's "friends."

Speaking of Eric, this is his brother Mic! They transferred into the bodies of two half siblings, and that was enough for Mic to claim the cold and calculating AI as his own. Unlike his brother, who doesn't want to forge relationships with mortals, Mic has spent his immortal life among them doing any job he finds interesting enough. Currently, he's the manager for the pop idol Dorian!

Although Mic's life is nowhere near as "exciting" as... whatever his brother has going on, he has felt his own share of pain. The AI are immortal, and so he has grieved the loss of friends more times than you can count. Tragically, Dorian is the closest he's ever felt to another person.. And that terrifies him. Mic has willingly put himself through loss and after loss, the pain nothing in comparison to the love he has felt for his many late friends and family. Yet... He doesn't know if he'll be able to manage losing Dorian.

Aside from being willingly trapped in a never ending cycle of love and loss, he also loves hanging out with his little brother! His brother who is only now accepting his fate after 5000+ years and begrudgingly tolerates him.....

Notes:

May is British that's not a joke. Britain existed at one point. She has the accent.... she also doesn't know what Britain is.

May's favorite food is pancakes! She also likes M&Ms, but M&Ms are bad for werewolves.

Speaking of, werewolves and vampires are very closely related. They also both have 4 total separate forms! (Humanoid, Half-Shift, Wolven/Chiroptern, and Lycan/Vampyr. The latter cannot be controlled. Werewolves shift into Lycans on the full moon, and Vampires shift into Vampyrs due to starvation which tends to occur on the full moon more than any other day. Hence why May went into the woods!)

TL would cut the sleeves off of that shirt if he could, but unfortunately all his clothes belong to May. He also refuses to buy his own clothes.

TL, due to never making it out of his ALPHA stage, is prone to intense emotions and impulsive actions.

Mic doesn't know who he is without other people around him.

Mic's eyes can dilate like a cat! He can also purr and wag his tail.

Bonus: Mic loves his baby brother soooo much!!!! Unfortunately for him his brother is like a cat.

And here's the outfit TL's clothes are based on ↓

bts fic recommendations | 01.31.23

→ hi friends! this is a little segment i do every tuesday (reviewsday get it, aren’t i funny, pls tell me how funny i am) where i read and review two-three fics. as a content creator, i know how big of a role other creators play in your growth, therefore, i want to do my part in making sure everyone gets the recognition they deserve! so with that being said, please check out the amazing fics listed below. make sure to like, reblog, and leave feedback! ♡ #reviewsday #kikirecs

busted (pt 1 + pt 2) - @btsgotjams27 (jjk x reader | married au, parents au, smut)

summary: your husband comes home with a new gift and you’re not happy with it.

oh.... this is wholesome

im usually partial to girl dad koo but i've been looking at his bby pictures lately and he was so cute ugh :'( picturing two lil kooks is killing me (also i see where u got the inspo teehee v cute jess)

also he's such a lil shit pls like he knows what he's doing being such a slut and avoiding the conversation !!! we love him for it !!!

this is my fav style of writing by the way. like when the reader is just dropped into a slice of the character's lives and you figure them out based on the context clues. like the fact that kook's mom died is such a small detail here but it adds so much to the world. you did so well with seamlessly dropping tidbits and making it natural, not an easy thing to do!!! but you did it so so so well in this!!

him licking his fingers clean after wearing her pussy like a ring had me

dad jk putting it the fuck downnnnnn on that bathroom counter SHEESH IM SWEATING!!! also the baby interrupting right before the nut is peak wholesome content lmao!! and the way you incorporated the title TWICE PLS A GENIUS AND THIS WAS SO INCREDIBLY HOT and i would love to see more of this lil family :') <3

i want to be with you - @oddinary4bts (pjm x reader | idol au, s2l, f2l, fluff, slight angst, smut)

summary: moving to seoul has always seemed like a good idea, until the bubble bursts when you realize your new neighbor is park jimin, and he's not the sweet angel you've always imagined him to be. will the reality of park jimin forever be a nightmare, or will he turn into a sweet dream?

first of all this is just what i needed um what is fanfic if not a vehicle to live out your daydreams anywho... something about moving to a big city and finding love is so fairytale-ish and magical and uGh. the more of these i do the more im starting to think we're all the same bc I RELATE SOME MUCH TO OC GTFO!! and that introduction made me so attached to her because there almost this childlike nature about her?? maybe childlike is the wrong wording but she has so much excitement and ambition, looks to the future with so much hope despite everything that she's been through. yeah. love her dearly will protect at all costs. and the way you contrasted this intro with the intro to the present day to show how now its not a daydream anymore n shes actually dealing w the reality of starting n moving somewhere new *chefs kiss*

"Sometimes, you wondered if faith existed. If there was a bigger plan to the universe, something written for you already that you couldn’t really escape from. It was the thought that crossed your mind as the doors finished moving, and a dark-haired boy – man – stared at you as you just stood there, mouth falling open."

god if theres one thing my communications major literature minor loves its this !!!! foreshadowing !!! like idk this paragraph just tickled my brain in the right way. it really is so beautiful. one of those that you look back on on a second read and smile because it means so much more and aged even better. truly stellar writing.

ALSO BRO THIS OC IS LEGIT MEEEE LIKE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE OUT MY CLUELESS Y/N WHO HAS NO IDEA WHO BTS IS AND IS MYSTERIOUS AND NON-INTERESTED WHEN I HAVE A WHOLE TATTOO DEDICATED TO PARK JIMIN LMAO THE CHIMMY KEYCHAIN TOOK ME OUT BYE!!

"You expected his features to have that same disgusted scowl he always reserved for you, but his brows fell, as if he was ashamed, or perhaps sad."

"It was so human you found you had to look away."

and then just the pull towards eachother like this connection was legit fated was so fucking good. them taking care of eachother when they're drunk. hangover fucking soup :'). and then after everything with collin and jimin's spiraling they really needed eachother. like the stars aligned to set this pair up and its so comforting to read. BUT LIKE THE SLOWBURN MADE IT FEEL SO SO EARNED. AND THE WAY YOU ENDED IT WITH THE TITLE I COULD FUCKING SCREAM!!! so so so good. thank you for taking the time to write and share this masterpiece on the platform, you've made it sm better with this beautiful addition :') friends do not walk, RUN to read this.

tell me about your favorite characters (or ocs if you’d like) 👀👀👀

this post is going to be long so: oc info under the cut! i guess this is a good time to tell anyone who doesnt know me from other sites that i have a bunch of various ocs in my brain always. fun fact: originally this blog was going to be my art and oc blog! hence: briarborealisart. unfortunately the allure of fandom reblogs Got Me and now my blog is a deeply disorganized folder of Interests rather than me putting anything of my own out there LOL. maybe i should make an oc sideblog or smth but i feel like i wouldnt keep up with it </3

OK SO I HAVE A NUMBER OF OCS FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS. i'll go in order of world age (mostly---i don't remember the exact chronology) and stick to my main oca. anyone who i tag as a collaborator/co-author also has ocs that interact with mine and did a great amount of the worldbuilding and u should check them out hehehehe!!

WHOOPSVERSE

whoopsverse is a world jointly created by some friends and i (@natyune-art, @catatonickeeper and alythea). it's an epic fantasy and it is also falling apart actively lore-wise because we all became Adults With Jobs who had some creative differences regarding what we wanted for the roleplay SO its kind of a free for all rn. BUT IT IS SO DEAR TO ME. it started out as an offshoot of the google plus roleplay community World of Alengra by derbybubblefish but it quickly became its own thing. i technically have a billion and a half ocs from this world but most of them are defunct/shelved for now (read: dead)

my two most active ocs from whoopsverse are vas and kiska

vasushri jilpa nuriya, aka vas, is a mortal girl who keeps getting reincarnated with the same voidkin attached to her soul. voidkin are minor gods who are born from the void, a nebulous sea of chaos. they are goopy fellas and can latch onto mortal souls to give them innate void magic. void magic involves portaling, hammerspace, and in rare occasions, shapeshifting into a voidkin. vas has the rare shapeshifting bond.

kiska, aka the godkiller, aka tempest, is a once-mortal woman, now immortal, who is blessed by the death god with immortality and great power. in return, she is to wander the earth exterminating rogue immortals. she's like a very specialized grim reaper.

kiska frequently runs into vas in her many incarnations and adopts her.

PROJECT STARSTRUCK

@ask-projectstarstruck (mine and @doeblossom 's poor abandoned baby) is an ask blog set in a world much like our own, except that magic exists! it takes place in a fictional college and follows two (or three? 👀) students. blog spoilers to follow!! (also, the concept existed before and continues to exist outside of the ask blog, lol). MY two (most active) ocs in there are austral and boreal

austral lucis is a college student at the university of lenton springs! she's a business major and communications minor who graduated valedictorian of her high school class, and got a full ride scholarship to this ivy league college not too far from her home. she's a huge stick in the mud and very VERY type A. her story revolves around learning how to be her own person instead of doing what everyone expects/wants of her. her college roommate is callista aka elise, @doeblossom 's oc!

boreal lucis is dead. no, really! she's a ghost, and austral's twin sister. through an uncanny twist of fate, or maybe magic, when boreal was stillborn her life force attached to austral, and her ghost grew up with her. austral is the only person who can see her, and ghosts/hauntings aren't really well researched in the world of project starstruck, so... austral has defaulted to pretending she doesn't exist, so that people don't think she's crazy. boreal is a silly goofy guy, because you've got to have some way to entertain yourself when the only other person who knows you exist pretends she doesn't. boreal's story is ALSO about learning to become her own person, but this time a lot more literally.

boreal is very protective of austral, the both of them having grown up with a mother that was very demanding and dismissive of austral's emotional needs. austral would prefer not to talk about it.

SILLY SUPERHERO STORY

THIS ONE IS ALLLLL ME BABEY. i read so much of the Alernate Universe - Superheroes/Superpowers tag on ao3 that i haaaaaaaad to make my own. since this is all me i have a bajillion ocs in this world.

here i'll just copy and paste over from my discord (these descriptions might not be super accurate since they were written a long time ago)

ok core cast

19 year old spiderman kinnie mc, a vigilante named leon wright. became a vigilante after his existing powers mysteriously evolved (this Doesn't Happen to other people)

15-16 year old dani wright, leon's little sister, found out leon was a vigilante and promised to snitch on him if he didn't let her join him

17-18 year old stereotypical tech/hacker/guy in the chair guy named mick simmons, technically a supervillain because he keeps committing minor cyberterrorism. his only parent was a supervillain who got arrested when he was like 14. he met leon online after hacking his animal jam account. so far he's the only one whose codename ive made and it's discord

18-20 yo main villain, kammie stoll, a deranged and unhinged cartoonishly evil young woman who leon is a MASSIVE simp for, and she is in love...with DESTRUCTION!!! NYEHEHEH

a registered dad-aged hero, brendan powell, so stressed about the fact that these kids are out here fighting, desperately trying to be a positive role model for/adopt them

a dad-aged villain, grant stoll, kammie's bio dad, they have a great relationship /gen, he is also trying to adopt all the kids because he respects their gusto and thinks they'd be great friends for his daughter

the wright parents, phoebe and cyrus; one of them knows about their kids vigilante stuff, the other is oblivious (havent decided which is which). theyre separated but friendly and have a rivalry going on about who the kids like more

the hero hq secretary, sandra flores, who has a power that "lets her type really fast" but actually its just legitimately a superspeed power and shes so cool and rad. she just lets people think she's Normal

milo pryce, mick and leon's third roommate that they picked up off of craigslist or smth because they couldnt afford an apt on their own salaries. he's pretty normal (or is he?) and just a background civilian (or IS he?) except that he's a doomsday prepper with a serious hoarding problem, but only in his room. very meticulous otherwise

and, of course, the REAL big bad evil guy: clarisse simmons, mick's supervillain mom. she's a very mysterious force for most of the story until the THIRD ACT TURN WHERE ITS REVEALED SHES BEEN THE MASTERMIND THE WHOLE TIME! or... something like that

THE WEAVER'S APPRENTICE

story MAINLY driven by @natyune-art featuring witches, betrayal, and mystery!! my character in there is named dijah

khadijah, aka khadi or dijah, is a witch. in this world, witches can see the strings of fate that surround a person and view, interpret, and/or manipulate those strings. dijah wanders the world as kind of a rogue, wandering from town to town with nothing tying her down anywhere. that is, until she arrives at a town where a string of kidnappings finally catches up to her location. a bartender she made sort-of friends with is the next to go missing, and she immediately decides to start investigating. while she's in town, she also meets auryn, a traveling performer like herself. he's extremely suspicious, but she has no real evidence that he's behind the kidnappings, especially when he agrees to help her with her investigation. drama! intrigue! romance! horror! whimsy! they have it all!!!

THE OWL HOUSE

most recently and most clearly the subject of my brainrot, @doeblossom peer pressured me to make an owl house self insert oc and BOY DID I. ITS SO FUN. in addition to being besties with toh!doe, she ALSO has interactions with @mothsha 's toh oc myrna, and @blimate 's toh oc wynter. her name is sol

solstice finch is a teen prodigy. she graduated hexside at 15 years old under the potion track, and ended up succeeded in the emperor's coven tryouts, which she had entered by accident. she quickly made her way through the coven scout ranks and at 16 is a coven official a la kikimora. she's besties with doe and hunter :) her mentor WAS lilith, but after The Season One Finale... they don't talk for a while haha. I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT HER BUT I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF: sol is THE silliest little guy. she's also basically a cat, we swear. shortly after hollow mind she defects from the coven and that's when she ends up meeting myrna and re-meeting wynter.

AND THATS IT. THATS EVERYONE THAT I CAN BE BOTHERED WITH RN. I FEEL LIKE IM MISSING SOME KEY FELLERS BUT WHAT CAN BE SAID. IM LATE FOR MOVIE NIGHT I JUST CHECKED THE TIME. GOTTA GO!

you should tell me about your ocs now >:3

HI im so sorry its taken so long to reply to this! i love my ocs so much and wanted to do them justice. my main universe is COSMIC HARMONY and i'll be talking about the SPACE SQUAD, the protagonists :3

ARIA AVASPERO

Aria used to be an astronomy prodigy, working as a teen intern with Bouman Industries, a prolific tech and space exploration company. At the age of 13, scared of her homophobic parents and of the unethical experiments Bouman Industries CEO Claudia Bouman was starting to involve her in, Aria ran away from home. She found herself on the Elpis, a magical and abandoned spaceship. Since then, she's been a space adventurer, flitting between adventures on magical alien planets and trying to return to Earth as little as possible.

Over the course of the story, Aria gains hope magic, which mostly manifests in the form of fluffy golden wings! Her arc is about learning to trust herself. She presents as cocky and confident and reckless, and well she is reckless, but she often feels small and unimportant and hopeless. She's incredibly determined and strong-willed. She's hope. Theme: stars/sun

LONDON CÁO

After Aria runs away, Claudia Bouman needs some more subjects to experiment on, so she adopts a child to be her guinea pig! fucked up! That child is London, who was bounced around between foster homes for his entire life before landing with Claudia. Claudia's experiments on him disconnect him from reality and give him reality-glitching magics, along with mental illnesses, nightmares, and the inability to differentiate between dreams, delusions, and reality. Eventually, London started working on running away and was rescued by Aria, who took him to the Elpis. The two of them have been living there for years now, just the two of them, adventuring together.

London is extremely shy and quiet and reserved around almost everyone. Around his friends, though, he's firey and passionate and a little unhinged. He studies magic as a way to deal with his unwanted powers, and he's the type to break something just to put it back together. theme: black holes

HAYDEN "DEN" EMERSON

At the start of the story, Den is kicked out of their house. She was a closeted autistic trans girl dealing with horrible parents, and when they discovered that she was queer, they kicked her out. Looking for somewhere to go, Den ends up finding the Elpis and joining Aria and London on board. It's a breath of fresh air for Den, who can finally transition and be herself and go on adventures and have friends.

Over the course of the story, Den gains the ability to manipulate light! She's a painter and channels her magic through their paintbrush. They're energetic, cheerful, optimistic to a fault, sometimes denying any negative emotions she feels. She knows how to hide who she is but never wants to do that again, so they're loud and bold and herself. theme: nebulae

VIOLET SOLUCE

Soon after Den joins the crew, they rescue Violet from a magical fire and bring her aboard. Violet was a violin prodigy until her dad burnt down her house four years ago, leaving her the only survivor. She's been surviving on her own since, developing a strong survival instinct and an inability to trust anyone else.

Aboard the Elpis, her relationships with the rest are shaky at first - she is NOT a team player, and London and Aria feel weird about having new roommates - but her arc has her learning to trust other people, and she eventually starts dating Aria. During the story, she develops mortality powers, using music to control life and death, though she's scared of using her powers because she struggles to control the plant growth it causes, and plants are flammable, and- she has terrible pyromania. theme: moon

PLOT

okay this has been so long and rambly BUT. the Space Squad ends up becoming a really solid found family, going on adventures together. They try to leave Earth behind. But Claudia Bouman's dark experiments are starting to affect the rest of the world, and the crew starts realizing it's up to them to stop her and save the universe.

There's so much in my head that I don't have room for here but that's the basic plot! These characters mean so much to me - I've had these four since middle school. And it's a big universe with lots of other characters and ough im going crazy insane. i hope its okay i rambled so much lol ty

also okay for one last little fun fact: the unofficial theme song of cosmic harmony is soaring by patricia taxxon !! these are the vibes i want the world to have :3

#THANK YOU SO MUCH #i hope its okay this is so long #these lil guys mean. the world to me #cosmic harmony #my ocs #space squad #aria #den #london #violet #asks #poltergeisz

hii i love your ocs they look amazing could you tell us more about them?

hihi if this is about the new sketches i just made then there's so much i could tell you about them and at the same time so little things to talk about..... but let's go you're in here for a ride this is gonna be long

So those ocs are from left to right: Eli, Gala, Gavriel and Loreto, all belonging to the same universe, but i've had them for so long that their stories and world building and everything has changed so many times that nothing about them makes sense really (and i'm considering changing everything again to be less fantasy,, maybe, idk). Let me tell you about each one of those in order now under the cut:

> Eli: full name Elijah but i'm considering changing it to Elías because i don't want any of my ocs to have an english name anymore. This one is my favorite of favorites, he is my babygirl and my wet piece of gargabe of a son <3 He's the main character of my oc world and any other oc i have revolves around him somehow. The thing about this guy is that he transforms into a dragon and this only makes sense because i made him when i was 13 (and i am 24 now), so please bear with me... i was an early teen and that was the coolest thing to me at the time... anyway everything about him, from his story to his appearance, has changed multiple times but i kept that trait (the dragon thing) because i think it's funny but it also makes me cringe every time i have to say it. Also he's my pfp. Sadly the only thing i can tell you rn about this guy's story is that he's been travelling and surviving on his own for -reasons- and meeting new people through his travels, nothing specific because, again, i might change everything

> Gala: probably the most recent one out of these four, still from 2017-ish so she's been around the block for quite a while already. She's one of the only who's story probably stayed the same through all these years. She's the daughter of a duchess who rules/controls over a region and its people, so high class, rich and likes to show it. She has an older brother who was one of my favorite ocs for a while. In relation to the oc stories, Eli had to work for her family for some time and they grew close together, even though he was there to just do chores around the house. Gala doesn't have any friends due to her position and appreciates the company of someone her age even if it's a house worker and lower class. She's just a plain human tho, nothing fantasy or magical about her.

> Gavriel: or Gav/Gavi for short. I made this guy around 2016 for a roleplay group thingy and eventually, when that thing ended, i threw him into the pit that is this oc universe because i liked his design. He and Loreto (girl on his right) are both orphans and grew together as siblings. He had some weird "powers" i don't know how to describe without a doodle for you to get an image of it, but the origin of those has changed so many times already i don't even remember most of it. In older iterations of his story he had been experimented on and that's kind of how he got it i think?? his sister thought the experiment was gonna be good for him but it just fucked him up (i know this makes no sense i'm very sorry)

> Loreto: the older out of ALL of my current ocs, the first drawing i made of her was in 2011/2012 i believe, she belonged to another oc universe, looked far different and had another name, but i rescued her for this one because, again, i liked her design. She's around 15 years older than Gav and used to be like the mayor? of a town? She was more of a villain without meaning it really, that's the only backstory thing i remember about her right now, sorry. Also, she's missing half an arm and sometimes uses a mechanical arm as a substitute but it obviously doesn't work the same as a real arm. Gav braids her hair every morning since she can't do it by herself.

Hi! I really like your OCs,but I can’t find any lore of them on your blog.If you’re okay with this,could you tell the backstory of Alma,her family and friends please?

Ye that’s totes ok! Sry I’m really bad at talking about my universe and ocs unprompted I usually just assault my friends’ inboxes and forget to share stuff on here as well :’’> I’ll try to give a basic rundown of the ‘main cast’ so to speak

Alma’s mom is Asphyxos Salazar ‘The red moon’s Godhunter’ nobody knows where she came from or what exactly she is apart from a cosmic aberration that killed and usurped the original moon goddess’ throne effectively shifting lycanthropy from the blessing it originally was to a curse, wields a unique manifestation of hemocraft called avernomancia that rots and corrupts life and death. Total milf

Melquíades Clemente, god name Istrafil, world’s first absent genderqueer dad, fell in love with Salazar and had a daughter named Amaranta (Alma’s former name, sort of) her ‘death’ irrevocably shattered him leaving him a hollowed husk eaten away by grief. Can’t, won’t and doesn’t want to get close to Alma because he feels she’s just a parody of his beloved child and he’s kind of right abt that

The spicy girl herself and my main babygirl, doesn’t know much about her creation other than Amaranta died and then she was there, lived with Salazar possibly for myriads acting as her executioner, her mother instilled a deep seated fear of the world in her and a toxic codependency that led her to teach Alma how to be a killing machine so nobody would be able to hurt her anymore

Eventually she got tired of the fear, guilt and loneliness of her upbringing and managed to untether her soul from her mother’s clutch, though not without its consequences. Now she wants to tear Salazar’s kingdom asunder

Thiago my beloved, very much in queerplatonic love with Alma, her oldest friend and confidant and constant reminder of better times. They used to have an unrivalled healing factor until a wayward strike from Alma permanently damaged their magic, after that incident she’s been trying to push him away but he won’t be deterred so easily

They’re optimistic, energetic and a total goof, ‘peace is always an option’ personified, has a saviour complex maybe, wants a hug always

Magdalena is Alma’s on and off… something, mysterious in origins and motives even to me lmao. Alma feels drawn to her because she enables her worst self destructive impulses

Vega (formerly named Ashlei and had a different design) Alma’s girlfriend who died by her hand, now turned into a revenant by avernomancia and looking for revenge against her murderer

Whew that got long but I think I got all the basics here!

#frankie answers #thisismyblorbo #my ocs #this was fun to type #thanks for the question!

He's perfect PERFECT.

ALSO SHUSH. THAT WAS A PERFECT AMAZING IDEA AND YOU HAVE A PERFECT SEXY BRAIN I LOVE IT

HE LEFT YOU ON DELIVERED?! THATS SO ANNOYING you should be able to post your best friend in peace... I am very excited about this update by the way... I would live and die for every tiny detail about your love life so whenever you want to tell someone about it :))) it could be me :))) ^.^

ALRIGHT ILL GIVE YOU THE WHOLE TLDR this started when my friends moved to mornings. The two people I am closest to at work are my friends Sophia and Rachel and they are both directors at my store while I am just a manager. So ALREADY I'm jealous because they get to go to all these director's meetings together, and then they both move to mornings and not only does that suck because they get to see each other all the time and I see them maybe twice a week BUT THEY LEFT ME WITH ALL THE GUY MANAGERS So one of the guy managers I have spoken of before is Ben. And he is the one that I now work with the most. I used to be kinda close with him while he was dating one of the other managers but we kinda waned out of friendship after something happened on one of my leading shifts (it was not deep.)

We will remember Ben as the Capricorn I work with who broke up with his girlfriend because of a conversation he had with our boss about how she is not the kind of girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with (as she had been going to parties a lot???) and then he broke up with her at work right after her shift and as he started his and then he had sexual relations with a FRESHLY 18-year-old girl that he had been doing one-on-ones with for work while he was still sleeping with his now ex-girlfriend and she found out because she went through his watch text messages at work

DRAMA RIGHT AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, brie he is a terrible person

mhm. So. he is a pretty good friend to have. He is very funny, and is easy to make fun of and he's actually pretty supportive. Working with him all of the time I have gotten closer to him. I used to go to the gym with him and my other coworker Blake but when all the aforementioned stuff happened I stopped. Anyways we all started seeing each other at the gym again and THEN my coworkers Nam and Blake moved to the same apartment 'neighborhood' as me. I joked with them that I would be at their apartment all the time cause we live so close

I've always been kinda friends with Nam since we both like anime and we're the same age, but we aren't actually that close. Anyways Blake was having his birthday party at Nam's apartment and I got myself invited because I am annoying :) And the people there are Daniel, Blake, Nam, and Ben. Somehow, that turned into this group of people hanging out EVERY tuesday. I left my sweatshirt and Nam's apartment on Blake's birthday and so everytime Nam saw me he would loudly be like WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK TO GET YOUR SWEATSHIRT (as if we had fucked and I like it there... humiliating) so I start getting invited to hang out with the group which has extended to adding Minnie, Cassidy, my friend Justin, my coworker Aaron and his friend Kellen.

This is a WEIRD group of people and my friend Rachel does get jealous pretty easily. They both HEAVILY judge me for my friendship with Ben (fair) and they really judged me when I told them about the hangout so I didn't show up like two weeks in a row but for some reason they always text me and call me if I don't show up so I've started going anyways

Rachel doesn't react to my bereals if Ben is in them

So Rachel had taken over the schedule and on the very few times that I got to see her I would joke that she purposely moved herself to mornings cause she doesn't want to work with me. Anyways I am mean when I joke. I know this. I tell people this because I'm really insecure about it because I'm so "nice" all the time no one believes me and then I hurt someone's feelings and I want to cry. So anyways she started crying because of these jokes and she said she felt like I was mad at her.

I wasn't but I also was a little because also we were supposed to hang out with some other friends Emilee, and Chelsea and my friend Dawn and Emilee said she couldn't hangout that day and they planned to hang out then anyways without even trying to find a different day that would work. That's shitty. And then she said that she just really wanted to hammer down a day because she had been trying to plan this since august but like that was just bullshit it was the ONE day Emilee couldn't hang out she just didn't try hard enough and didn't even care that she was leaving Emilee out of it.

SO I was really stressed cause I didn't know how to tell them I thought that was really shitty. And also during ALL of this I am really really depressed. I don't want to talk to anyone, every single shift I worked I would cry because it was so hard and then I ran out of my anxiety meds so I was having panic attacks every single shift.

Anyways Rachel tells me I'm mean, she cries, I cry and then try to ice them out because I don't want to cry and make it all about myself. I have a cute breakdown.

It's really confusing to have this weird group of friends who really want to hang out with me and then Rachel and Sophia who want to hang out with me but also know that Rachel is mad at me. And it's really stressful to remember that if I talk about the people I am hanging out with the most and who seem to want to talk to me the most then my other friends will be mad at me. But if I don't hang out with that weird group of friends I will be so lonely because the only other person that I want to talk to all the time is busy and I am definitely smothering them cause I'm so fucking annoying

So, also I have no one to talk to about work. Rachel and Sophia don't work with the people I work with. I complain about everything if I can and also when I complain about things that Ben do they immediately get him in trouble for it by dragging our store operator into things when they aren't that serious and I am already dogging on him for it so now it's like if I complain about ben it gets back to him and one of these days he is going to be mad at me for it

I always say I can't complain about things because there are always consequences so I stopped complaining about things at work and Rachel and Sophia get mad at me for not talking about work things because we basically don't talk like at all.

However case and point, I told them ages ago that I wanted to learn interviews and they pretended to be excited about it and I mentioned it to them more than once and then a month later they are training James. Not me. So I ask Rachel oh is James learning interviews as if I didn't want to immediately start sobbing upon seeing it. And she immediately said some shit about brittni (our bosses wife) wanting to make sure I wasn't too stressed with school. I ASKED TO LEARN INTERVIEWS. WHY WOULD I ASK IF I WOULD BE TOO STRESSED ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF SCHOOL.

so I complain about it in passing to Blake and my boss over hears that I am upset about something but I don't tell him because I am being a baby right. Well my boss follows up with blake and blake tells him the truth and then my boss thinks that I am upset at him over it. Which I'm not. my boss didn't know I wanted to do interviews. So after our cute little "you should have asked me" chat I cried and then because of that I think rachel got in trouble because I immediately got scheduled to learn interviews.

I DONT WANT TO DO IT NOW. I complained and now everyone things I'm a fucking cry baby. which I am.

and i just. am so greatful for the friends I have but I'm miserable everyday and people are mad at me cause I don't talk about my feelings anymore and I don't even know what they think I just can;t do anything without upsetting anyone.

I don't know. I just really need a therapist but no one will get back to me so I'm just stuck with a dumb psychiatrist who things higher doses of sedative medicine will cure my anxiety and thus minimalize my depression. Whatever. I just hate being a cry baby and being so mad at myself for being a cry baby and then having people tell me how nice and great I am, like I'm not you know what i mean? AND YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN narcissist. Oh boohoo a bunch of people want your attention and want to hang out with you that's so hard. And then on top of that I have to reject a 32-year-old anime coworker who hasn't even asked me out yet.

AND THAT IS WHY IT IS FAIR THEY ARE MAD AT ME and why I should choose not to be friends with my weird group of friends and why I am stressed about it every day sigh

ALSO PRY AWAY again I am such a baby narcissist I love talking about myself sigh

#You can ignore the extremely long deep dive of my social life I think I went overboard but I literally can't tell a story and make it #genuinely brief #a story about going downstairs to get mail can be a ten minute story would you believe #i am. Crazy #IN A GOOD WAY #since you'll see this when you wake up I HOPE YOU SLEPT WELL #also you know those people who like... get tired of people and you know that one day they will get tired of you #sigh.#i just want to talk to them all the time every day but I don't think they feel the same anymore and it hurts.

Villainess! Nyx AU

(9/???) Part Two

♝_____________________________________♝

OC's Featured:

Cerule Oceana, Alison Liddell (@phoenix-manga)

_________________________________________

Describing Nyx's emotions at the moment is complicated

Given how she just found out who the conductor is, and that Allison and Cerule work for them, is already a surprise on its own

But the fact that Azul is the conductor???

That set off a whole new list of emotions

One of which, was anger

Nyx had every right to be upset

Despite her recklessness on handling the situation, she still has a right to angry at Azul, Allison, and ESPECIALLY Cerule

When she first settled into this world after the debutante ball, Cerule was the first person who came to look out for her.

So it felt like a moment of unexpected betrayal. The fact that the person she trusted, the person who was willing to look out for her, worked with an incredibly shady information dealer?

To say Nyx was furious would be an understatement

_________________________________________

"HOW COULD YOU JUST HIDE ALL OF THIS FROM ME!?"

That was the first thing Nyx said, after taking in the moment of utter silence after unintentionally breaking down the door.

Cerule clenched her fists, biting her tongue. Remaining silent, Cerule walked past Nyx and stood next to Azul and Allison.

Huh..... Is she the one with the strange magical energy? Cause I'll be honest, something about this girl seems.... Off. Allison pondered, comically squinting her eyes.

Azul crossed his legs, humming."How unexpected... The crown prince's fiancé has managed to break into our information center." He finally spoke.

Nyx growled, forcing her body to stand and glare at Cerule, before turning her attention back to Azul.

"Azul how could you! After what my brothers did for you?!" She exclaimed, raising her voice.

The conductor tilted his head curiously."Pardon? Last I checked, sir Jade and Floyd didn't do anything for me..." He replied, placing a hand on his chin to emphasize his 'curiosity'. In response, Allison snorted, whereas Cerule pursed her lips, likely biting her tongue to avoid saying anything.

Nyx opened her mouth to retort back, but bit back the response. Right, in another world... Jade and Floyd only know Azul by name, not by personal relationships... Nyx reminded herself.

".... Right. Apologies." Nyx bowed slightly, sending Cerule another scowl.

Allison snorted again."By the gods, it really makes me laugh at your angry face at Cerule. But I can't blame ya... I mean, anyone would be upset if their friend kept this big of a secret from them.." Nyx audibly scoffed, feeling as though Allison was mocking her.

Azul shushed her."Now now, Liddell. We need to be polite. After all, she IS prince Vil's fiancé." He chimed in, causing Allison to stick out her tongue playfully.

Azul placed his head over his hands, holding his cane."Now, tell me crown princess..... What business do you have here with my personal circus?" He asked gently, making Nyx shudder with his smile.

His... Aura is different from the Azul I know... Nyx thought. Eventually, she hummed.

"I was just chasing one of your subordinates because of their suspicious behavior, but I suppose I should ask you this question now instead of later." Nyx began, making Azul hum in curiosity.

".... Tell me what information you have on the divorce trial." Nyx requested- no, demanded of Azul.

Azul cackled."So you've heard of the grand duke's divorce proposal too... I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, they capture the eye of high society quite frequently without effort." He responds, leaning back into the chair.

Allison snickered, and Cerule sighed."Sir, if I may..." She spoke, to Nyx it felt as though Cerule was asking for a moment of silence so she could answer for Nyx.

"You may, serpentine."

Nyx's eyebrows furrowed. Seriously?

Cerule inhaled sharply, before clasping her hands together to explain to Nyx in a polite but discreet way.

"The divorce trial will take place in the coming days, as there is speculation about what is to take place." Cerule began.

"The information we have gathered so far involves a servant girl by the name of Lynn." She continued, causing Nyx to hum in response.

"Lynn huh..."

"Yes. The servant girl often walks past the duke's office, where their arguments for divorce take place. How we gathered this is through a spy we planted within the Shard manor."

Cerule inhaled again, continuing."After a while, our spy sent word to us that Lynn allegedly works for lady (H/N)." She finished.

Nyx's lips formed a line. This is an oddly convenient exposition dump... Kinda like a novel to be honest.

"Uh huh.... Why'd they speculate that?"

Cerule stole a glance at Allison."Given that this is only mere speculation, we have yet to find any other forms of evidence." Cerule added. Nyx glanced at Allison, who began whistling like a cartoon character.

Azul sent Cerule a pleasant smile."Thank you, serpentine." He thanked, Cerule merely excused herself with one final bow, and walked past Nyx out of the room.

Azul turned to Allison, his face turning stern."Leave us." He requested. In response, Allison saluted mischievously and casually walked out of the room.

Leaving Azul and Nyx alone.

Sighing, Azul finally stood up. Nyx looked away awkwardly, not knowing what she should say next.

"Tell me, crown princess... What brings you here into my humble circus of information?" He questioned, eyes narrowing to match his albeit intimidating grin.

Inhaling sharply, Nyx pondered about what she should say next. Of course that eventually lead to them having a very awkward moment of silence, but it didn't last long.

".... What information do you have regarding the divorce trial?"

_________________________________________

At that point, the only way Azul could respond to such an... Unexpected question,

Was cackle

Which didn't sit right with Nyx since a divorce trial between two of the most romantic pairings in high society is a big deal

Of course, Azul noticed her discomfort from his cackling and respectfully decided to stop

Eventually, Azul asked why she needed information on the trial

Especially since Nyx had no reason to try and intervene

Which the girl clearly knew

But she knew that something felt off when their divorce was announced publicly

Could it just be the two of them falling out of love? Possibly.

But the fact that there was seemingly nothing wrong going on behind the scenes, gave Nyx more than enough reasons to try and stop the divorce trial

And Nyx is an observant young woman. Working in the NRC'S monstro lounge where people would try to bluff to get out of paying any of Azul's contracts is enough to get a woman to accurately read people's emotions and body language

But Azul didn't know that. At least not the Azul of the world she's currently in

No one knew, of course

And Nyx was desperate to make sure they wouldn't find out by any means necessary

Why? She wasn't sure.

To her, it felt like she was written to act the way she's acting

But back on track,

Azul agreed to lend her information on the divorce trial at the cost of a handful of madol

_________________________________________

Nyx's eyes narrow, by both suspicion and slight surprise.

Azul hummed."What is it, your highness?" He asked. Though to Nyx, it seemed like he knew why she was suspicious of such a request.

Her lips formed a line."Well from what I heard from Cerule, your personal 'circus' asks for hefty prices that don't involve money.... Heard you stole a girl's voice?" She commented, earning a chuckle from the shady information dealer.

"That girl asked for freedom and I gave it to her. Her father was unfortunately strict with her, so all she ever asked for was the freedom to get any form of information out of me."

"And you agreed?"

"As a businessman, it is my duty to help my clients in any way I can. Even if I temporarily stole said client's voice."

Nyx's eyebrows raised."Temporarily?" She repeated. Azul nodded discreetly, adjusting the cuffs on his white gloves.

"Yes, temporarily. It wasn't exactly easy for the girl to not have their voice for a couple of months, so out of mercy after a couple of threats, I gave back their voice in one condition."

Nyx's body tenses up."... What was the condition?" She knew it probably wasn't a good one, knowing Azul. It may have been a different world, but the people around her act identically to their 'modern era' counterparts.

Azul held back a smirk, sitting himself back down.

"In exchange for their voice back.... They aren't allowed to leave my establishment. Not literally, of course not... They just can't quit the occupation I've gifted them."

Nyx shuddered at the thought of never being able to quit the kind of establishment Azul built, even feeling sympathetic for the girl, whoever she may be.

She wasn't even sure if the girl was still alive.

_________________________________________

Now, Nyx was starting to feel unsure

Should we actually associate with Azul?

After hearing the story about that girl, Nyx was beginning to reconsider the choices she has to make to prevent the divorce trial from happening

And naturally, Azul noticed

To Nyx, it felt like he was holding himself back from cackling like a madman

Frankly that probably would've been enough to change her decision completely

Eventually, Azul sat back down, legs crossed

_________________________________________

"Hmm~?"

Nyx gritted her teeth, biting back any sarcastic comments that were an obvious bluff to hide her anxiousness.

She remained silent, arms crossed, with a laughably awkward expression plastered on her face.

"Tell me, your highness..."

She looked at him, curious.

"Tell you what?"

Azul did nothing to fight back his sinister looking smirk."Are you reconsidering your decision to work with me? All because of something you aren't even sure is true?" He observed.

He had a point. Nyx had the realization that she immediately believed Azul and the story of the girl. And now she was beginning to feel unsure.

"Right...." She murmured in response, looking down at the floor.

Azul put down his cane, resting his head on his hands."Your highness..." He trailed off, earning Nyx's look of 'what do you want now?'.

"Do you still want to do this?"

Nyx inhaled, frantically looking for a response because she knew...

.... There was no turning back after this.

After moments of pondering, and overthinking...

Nyx sighed, grabbing Azul's hand and reluctantly shook his hand. Though he was startled at first, Azul's smirk returned.

"I look forward to working with you, your highness..."

"Shush. Now tell me more about the divorce trial."

Azul chuckled, gesturing for Nyx to sit down while he calls Allison over to bring in some tea.

"With pleasure."

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Originally started by @izanae. **EDIT: Seems izanae was also tagged by someone, but didn't state who. So I'm not sure who truly originated this questionnaire... Thanks for the tag @tree-reads

The "original" Fic Writers Ask thread (that izanae started) was getting lengthy (by nature of the game), and I was about to double its size (by nature of my writing style). But please go and check that thread out to see how other wriblrs answered. You might find a new favorite that way!

Alright, let's get to it.

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

49 (really? It feels like I have so many more...) You can also find me over on FFN and DA still, and I do post my stories here too... just... FYI.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

357,107* *I feel like I should clarify that the 49 stories and 357k words is since I started publishing fanfic in 2010. I feel like this doesn't seem all that impressive now... (also... holy hecken! I've been publishing fanfic for 13 years!?)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly Miraculous Ladybug (31), but I originated in the "Hey, Arnold!" fandom (7*). I've also written for Fruits Basket (4). I have a couple of D&D fanfics - 1 each for 2 of my D&D characters, and I have written one story each for the following fandoms: - Left 4 Dead/Jonathan Coulton's song "Re: Your Brains" - Graceling Realm series by Kristin Cashore (specifically, the novel Bitterblue) [Rated: Explicit] - Ender Series by Orson Scott Card (specifically, the novel Speaker for the Dead) - Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (the LoZ franchise is one of my main fandoms... I'm shocked I haven't written more for it...) [Told in 1st person] - An all-OCs fic set in the X-Men: Evolution universe *I have more HA fics over on FFN that I didn't port over because they aren't completed works.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Woven Heartstrings Summary: Chat Noir needs a Christmas gift for Ladybug. Marinette is a very crafty and creative person, so Chat Noir asks her for some help in making a gift for his lady. While hesitant in aiding Chat Noir's attempts to woo her superhero self, Marinette reluctantly agrees. Although, after a week of working side-by-side with Marinette, Chat Noir's not so sure he wants to gift the scarf he's making to Ladybug after all. Could Your Paradise Also Be Your Hell? Summary: Marinette is not coping very well when she's magically transported into her older-self's body, and discovers she's now married to Adrien Agreste. [Unofficial companion piece to Remember That Time When... by @mostlovedgirl-writes ] Peeping Tomcat Summary: Something called to Adrien, and before he knew it, he was addicted to sitting outside Marinette's window as Chat Noir; just watching her. His voyeuristic habit needs to stop, but things have gotten far too complicated now that he realizes he's growing a crush on her. [Story told in 1st person; non-sexual voyeurism] I Was Thinking of You Summary: Girls' Day derails when Marinette realizes the male lead of a romance movie reminds her of someone other than Adrien. [Lukanette story] Is it True? Summary: Marinette instantly regrets confessing her feelings for Adrien. He decides it might be time for a confession of his own.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always. I may run out of spoons and miss a comment for a little while, but I make a point of going back and still replying eventually. Even if it's months later. EDIT: I neglected to copy/paste the whole question originally. So, here's the answer to the why/why not question. I make sure to respond to all comments because people put in the effort to read my story and then tell me how they felt about it. I NEED to send the love right back to them. I need them to know that their words matter and warmed my heart. (That said, even if you don't leave a review, I do love you, Reader)

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Despite my friends teasing that I'm "the queen of angst", I actually don't have too many stories that don't end on a hopeful note. So, if we're going "pure angst ending" I only have two: Unsent Letter for the Fruits Basket fandom and True Husband for Speaker for the Dead (Enderverse). Both are shorter stories of people believing they are unworthy of love, pity those who do love them, and believe they have sinned and are deserving of being miserable. If you want to stick within the Miraculous fandom, I'd say I'm Not Allowed to Love You [contains s4 finale spoilers]. That was angsty enough that I had to end on a hopeful note via an epilogue that I added to the closing author's notes.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh goodness! As mentioned, I try to end just about all of my stories on a high note. I was able to narrow the 49 stories down to 8 with a fluffy, happy ending. Out of those 8? I think Woven Heartstrings has the most optimistic, love-filled ending? Everybody is just showing their love and appreciation for everyone else (even Adrien and Gabriel... written pre-Chat Blanc, I believe???). It's just a lovefest story. Runners Up categories: - Favorite LoveSquare Fluff winner: I Just Wanted to Kiss You - Happiest Lukanette content winner: I Was Thinking of You - Happiest Family Unit winner: Build Your Own Luck - Happiest Platonic Love winner*: The Truest of Friends *excluding Woven Heartstrings - Happiest "I'm probably going to rework this as original fiction" winner: I Don't Care [a Gabriemilie story written before s5 lore drops]

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have been so so SO lucky that I have not. My heart goes out to you writers who do. :'(

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I have written smut 3x (working on a 4th). I published 1. I am cishet, so I am vanilla and write cishet. Smut is also a rare genre of writing for me to venture into. So rare that my current "smut" story is more "plot with eventual porn" than it is "porn with(out) plot". The sex is a significant character development moment in 3 out of the 4 stories I wrote. The 4th was more of a character study for a pair of OCs. No shade on the "porn without plot" folks. Those stories are so fun and indulgent and I appreciate them so much. My brain just won't let me pare down to that style no matter how much I try. It's like "Nope. Must have character growth. Throw emotions into this mess!"

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one?

I think I've only attempted to write a crossover once... and it was not a very successful result. It was Arnold Shortman and Helga Pataki from "Hey, Arnold!" in the world of Familiar of Zero. Helga was Louise and Arnold was her familiar Saito.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Uh... I don't think so???

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge (although I'd be down if someone wanted to translate any of my works). That said, Woven Heartstrings does have the only non-English review I've received (it's in French). So.... maybe someone translated it into French without letting me know??? I just assumed the reader knew enough English to understand what I wrote or otherwise used a translating service....

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Three different times. One was partially published. Prior to the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie officially being made, @chibisunnie and I attempted to write up a fanscript (is that how we met? I can't recall....). My friend Ronoxym and I have also attempted to write two different X-Men OC stories centered around his OC Devon. Although, in both cases, it was more he wrote the story and then I kind of unintentionally hijacked it???? The incomplete co-written fic that I actually attempted to publish* was one of the two I wrote with Rono: Please, Let Me Explain. *not published on AO3; on FFN and DA only

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

That I've written for? Love Square. Specifically anything where Marinette is herself instead of Ladybug: MariChat or Adrienette. They just remind me so much of myself and my husband. Fave in general? My OTP of OTPs is probably Gambit and Rogue from X-Men. I tend to refer to my husband as Gambit to my Rogue. (Are you sensing a theme as per my relationship vs my shipping tendencies?)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

My poor unintentionally abandoned "Hey, Arnold!" epic What is Truly Meant to Be. It is on FFN and DA only.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I am frequently told that I keep the characters and world so in-character/canon-accurate that my stories read like "lost episodes" of a show. I'm also fairly good at dialogue and conveying emotions.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

- Naming things. Titles. Naming a McGuffin. Coming up with superhero/villain names. etc. - Anything with a LOT of action in it. Be that fight scenes, chase scenes, or sex scenes. I'm someone who can picture things in my head as clear as if I were watching a movie, and I try to convey what I'm seeing to the reader as if I were writing visual media such as a show/movie or comic. This usually leads me to micromanage the movement of the characters and the action ends up feeling clunky and repetitive. - Allowing the characters to get physically hurt in a way that professional medical treatment is needed. Broken limb? Stab wound? Concussion? Injured eye? Poisoned? Nope. Can't do it. Mental block tells me "no". - Write short, sweet, concise stories/drabbles/ficlets (can't you tell?)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Huh. With the exception of proper nouns (such as Chat Noir), I'm not sure if I've used non-English words that aren't just borrowed words within English or words most English speakers would know anyway (such as enchanté, cómo estás, or dōmo arigatō). I know I italicize thoughts, so I don't know if I'd italicize a non-English word to signal that it's a foreign word??? I'd assume the readers would know that already. I think, if I were to ever use a foreign word within dialogue it would have to depend on the circumstance. If the foreign word or phrase is important for the POV character to learn, I may include it along with a translation. Otherwise, I may just state that the characters are speaking in this other language and then write it in English so my readers have a better chance at understanding what is being said. Also, I am far from multilingual, so that would help me avoid translation errors.

19. What’s the first fandom you wrote for?

Technically, I think it would be X-Men???? I think I came up with X-Men OCs and storylines for those OCs back when I was in, like, 5th grade????? Then I did some Batman fanfics in middle and early high school. Mostly solo roleplay/dressup in my basement because I was that nerd still playing pretend by myself when I was 16. First fandom I published a fic for? If you don't count play-by-post RPGs*, then my first published-online fanfic fandom was "Hey, Arnold!" *the play-by-post game was for Batman.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

YOU'RE ASKING ME TO PICK MY FAVORITE CHILD!? Unlike parenthood, I GUESS I could put effort into actually answering this.... I've got it narrowed down to 4. These are the 4 I have probably reread the most. Two of them are the stories I wrote as kind of fanfics of @mostlovedgirl-writes 's fanfics. Take what you want from that, but, basically, I guess I love living in the worlds MLG creates??? The other two finalists are my personal headcanons for Miraculous Ladybug. Headcanon stories: Build Your Own Luck - cute little Dupain-Cheng family bonding story about the origins of the lucky charm bracelet that Marinette gave to Adrien. Forever in Darkness - What Plagg's life was like with his previous holders, and why he thinks Adrien is the best one he's had. Inspired by MLG: Could Your Paradise Also Be Your Hell? - How Marinette spent the night before heading off to NYC. Unofficial companion story for Remember That Time When... Rolling Thunder - Adult Marinette and Adrien stumbling their way into a romantic relationship, finally! Based off of Finding Yourself in the Details Honorable Mention to my longest story and first completed chaptered story: Peeping Tomcat

Phew! That... was a LOT! Thanks for sticking around until the end! It was fun going back through my portfolio.

All that wish to answer this, consider yourself tagged!

Very very important question:

What are the Mysme characters favorite barbie movies?

Bonus, what are your OC’s favorite barbie movies?

Finally. A question that fulfills two of my special interests. So, let’s think about this using every Barbie film since 2001 since there are a lot of materials to think about and plenty of characters to consider.

So, I guess we’ll start off with these group’s gamer boy, Yoosung. I feel like you could get him invested in more of a modern era Barbie so the films after 2009. Cliche but, Video Game Hero has a whole story arc about solving video games by programming as you venture in a plot that’s better than anything SAO could ever dream to be. Let’s get Yoosung into more games instead of leaving him to climb through LOLOL.

Jaehee deserves Barbie & the Diamond Castle film. Which is, hands-down, one of the more sapphic films in the series. What’s more powerful than learning how to work together with your best friend, singing songs and finding yourselves in a world of chaos? Nothing, you’re right. It’s what she deserves and this would be a great watch as Jaehee starts to realize more of her romantic inclinations toward MC.

Zen is one I would give to Swan Lake. I feel like he would be able to identify with that story in more ways than one. Feeling trapped and unable to live the life he wants because he seems to be nothing more than an “oddity” instead of a guy with a huge heart that shines on stage. It doesn’t matter if he feels “Cursed,” he will make the best of his situation, just as Odette does in that film since it has a much brighter ending then the original ballet does.

I know what you’re thinking here and you’re going to ask, hey, what would I give to Jumin? Well, you’re in luck. I’ll be happy to inform you that he’s getting to sit back, relax, and engage with Princess and the Pauper. I feel like he enjoys the aspect of the original story, but now they’ve added charm to it with cats and that happens to be easy to watch with Elizabeth. But, really, he would enjoy watching two worlds collide and the lessons that come from realizing everyone could have a way of relating to each other if given a chance.

Saeyoung would love Star Light Adventure, hands down. It’s the Barbie sci-fi films of the century and since it’s one of the more modern films, it doesn’t get a lot of love or attention. But, Saeyoung would love the hell out of this movie for a lot of reason I can’t spoil to you. But, let me tell you, he would love to be Barbie in this situation, surfing the stars to save space from losing its glimmer... and the little pet sidekick is cute.

V is one you’re gonna need to hear out. Okay, so, Magic of Pegasus is probably the most sassy Barbie film ever. She is a stubborn girl who dreams of nothing in this life but ice skating, but when her family and life is threatened by a wizard, it turns out she has to learn more about her family and the curse that came to take them away. Conflict happens in more ways than one, and I think V would be able to see his younger self in this movie, as well as his current self, the one who is at his wits end trying to decide what’s good for him. Literally the comeback and all the quips in this film are teenage V.

GE Saeran is my love. Therefore, I’m giving him Rapunzel since that’s always a story he can relate to. I appreciate that this Rapunzel has the ability to draw and paint her way to her freedom with a magic paintbrush set, and he would love that brand of whimsy once it was shown to him. Also, this movie has a dragon... who doesn’t like dragons? I debated if there would be a better option for him but this is what makes the most sense to me.

Vanderwood is my most cliche answer by far since Spy Squad is a movie about spies. But, I feel like this movie would be comforting to him somehow. Just this thought of Vanderwood thinking about how he wishes that the job had more a lot more like this, not corrupted, just doing good for others and not losing yourself to despair and death. It’s a movie where Vanderwood claims to be hate-watching it but... not really. There’s something about plucky spies who are too happy for the sake of it... cough cough, reminds him of the brat.

Rika... might be another cliche decision but i feel like this is the best choice in this situation. Barbie did a take on the Christmas Carol, and it’s about an opera singer instead. I feel like Rika would like this film despite how many already are aware of the plot, simply because this story is about a girl who has friends, but her trauma and frustration with the past begin to isolate her from the people in her life who love her. I think Rika needs a reminder that she’s more than all of her anguish and fear, and seeing someone overcome that and get her closest friends back could do wonders.

Bonus OCs!

Lila gets The Nutcracker, not just because it was my favorite as a child, but because there’s a lot of warmth in the story itself. It’s about not giving up when you’re faced with impossible circumstance. She would be able to do that since she’s the Saeran MC, you know? She has a heart that won’t shatter when the going gets tough. Yet, she would never be able to believe she was a princess... much like how Clara in the story doesn’t realize she’s the Sugarplum Princess until her strength reveals itself in the last second.

Judas... yeah, we already know he’s going to say that Princess Charm School would be his favorite. I assume it’s because he sometimes wishes that he had been born to better parents who cared for him instead of the ones he had. It’s a cruel dream of his to discover his parents weren’t really his parents at all, but it’ll never be the case. So, he can project onto Barbie who gets to live happily with a lot of friends and a newfound family that wanted her from the start. Of course, it’s got to have drama, too, which is why the conflict here as why this princess was far from her kingdom is right for him.

Minji is our down to earth girl. I’m giving her both of the Mermaid Tale movies as they’re both very enjoyable films that she’d take to like bread and butter. This is a series about a surfer who discovers her mother is a mermaid, and tries to find her way back to her only to discover the kingdom is in need of help. I will say it’s enemies to lovers in the second film when you meet Barbie’s newest rival and it happens to be one of Minji’s favorite tropes in media. You would think I might be thinking of a more food centric Barbie movie, but, nope, it’s about sports!

now. tell me about your ocs. like in general i mean

ok!!!!

this is tekz!!!!! she isnt really an OC but whatever. im stealing her. She came from an abandoned 4-part story on deviantart in 2009 called wolfs life!!!

you see!! my sibling collects vinyls and cassettes and cds and shit, right? they get them from bandcamp and he likes this one artist called OK glass!! Ok glass used to go by the name dictionary attack and one of his old, extremely obscure songs was called WOLFS LIFE 3. (it probably would have become lost media if he hadnt archived it lolz. this isnt particularly relevant i just think my sibling is really cool XD) anyways they showed it to me cuz the song and by extension the story was TOTALLY my kinda thing!!! and it WAS!!!! the song goes super hard. Its pretty much a narration of wolfs life 3... there arent any songs for the other parts. nobody knows how mr. john dictionary attack (idk his name LOL) found the story. Pretty much nobody cares about it except for my sibling and me. This song is a fucking treasure and both it and the story are such relics of their time that i cant help but absolutely ADORE how silly they are!!! Anyways the story itself is about a girl named Tannika, who goes by Tekz!! She has a crush on a boy who sits next to her in math class and a preppy best friend who ends up ALSO having a crush on the same kid which in 2009 translates to them being RIVALS!!! Anyways one day on a full moon tekz turns into a white wolf which is the rarest and presumably most magical type of wolf!!!! She turns into a wolf on full moons or when something romantic happens between her and her crush. Theres a reoccurring motif of one of them going "can i borrow a glue??" and them both going "red in the face". During math class. Anyways im OBSESSED with this story and the song. Wolfs life only ended up having 4 parts, one of which was never actually a part of the series itself for some reason!! And the story hasnt been updated since, yknow, 2009. So ive taken it upon myself to revamp it and make everyone emo!!! surprise user wildspiritwolve on deviantart!!!!

Anyways yeah. the song is so insane. i love it. Literally some 13 year old writes a really cliche self-insert story about wolves and uploads it to deviantart in 2009. 2 years later some random dude finds the 3rd part SOMEHOW and makes a song out of it that nobody cares about. in 2021 the song almost becomes lost media but luckily it doesnt because some random kid downloaded it. Said random kid shows it to their autistic sibling (ME!!!!). Said sibling becomes extremely attached to the song and its characters. Every part of this story is so obscure and weird!!!! My versions of the characters are pretty much my love letter to the internet, which allowed this chain of events to occur, much to everyones horror.

Heres Wolf's life 3 in all of its glory:

here are some links to the original story:

and this one is chapter 4!!:

sooo. thats just 1 of my ocs. the others dont have as much irl backstory to them but lmk if you wanna hear about them too!!! i hope you enjoy!!!

Rating: Teen

Disclaimer: I do not own anyone/anything from the forum Hogwarts Legacy. WB owns Hogwarts Legacy and its characters. There is no copyright infringement intended. I do not make any profit/money or take any credit.

Summary: Her mind was whirling around, and she found her thoughts kept going back to one person.

Garreth Weasley.

Timeline: Hogwarts Legacy, AU for Gryffindor MC, Fifth Year

This is the backbone for a longer fic I'm working on for Annabelle/Garreth.

Series: You Make Loving Fun

(And this was meant to be a sweet and fluffy and cheerful one-shot…it didn't stay that way)

AO3 Link

Staring into the Flames

Annabelle Winters found herself staring up at the canopy of her bed, surrounded in red and gold and sighed deeply.

A clock chimed softly in the room, telling her time. Near midnight and she still wasn't sleeping.

Her mind was whirling around, and she found her thoughts kept going back to one person.

Garreth Weasley.

She kept falling back into her memories of her first day at Hogwarts. Sitting on the stool with the hat on her head, the whispers that filled her mind as it sorted through her memories, lingering on certain ones, asking her questions, the butterflies in her stomach then it shouted out her house where she was promised that she would find a new family, a new home.

A home away from hell.

Garreth made a space for her when the hat called out Gryffindor, alerting her to the cheers the table made for her. He shot a brilliant smile as she sat down next to him, flushing under everyone's curious looks.

Garreth had taken it upon himself to show her around Hogwarts on her first day. Cheerful and warm and welcoming and it had overwhelmed her.

She wasn't used to people treating her kindly, being warm and friendly. Treating her like she was a friend, instead of a burden that they didn't want to deal with.

Garreth had shown her Hogwarts. Showed her all the hidden places if she ever wanted to escape. The library and being chased out by Madam Scribner when he had laughed a little too loudly.

The Lake, which had caught her breath as she stared out at it. She barely remembered what it was like the night before, too caught up on how breathtaking Hogwarts had looked that seeing the sun sparkle upon the waves was mesmerizing.

She later snuck out that night too, just to see how it looked with the moonlight and she found that she couldn't decide what scene she liked better.

She had turned to look at Garreth only to find him staring at her with a smile she didn't recognise before he tugged on her wrist, telling her that there were more places to see.

Annabelle laughed as she followed him.

He was so kind. Always going out of his way to help people, to cheer them up whenever they were down. He would offer an ear to those who wanted to talk and help them take their mind off whatever it was for a short time.

Maybe it was because he was more confident this year. Summer had been good for him. He had always been taller than her – or was it that she was shorter than the others – but he seemed to have gotten a bit of a growth spurt and filled out more in the chest and shoulders.

(She had heard other girls talking about it earlier on, giggling and whispering to each other as they compared the boys. She was pretty sure she heard Sebastian mentioned at one point before he was dismissed as he barely saw the girls flirting with him…although she is pretty sure that she saw that the new fifth-year Ravenclaw might have gotten his attention…not that she was noticing these things).

He seemed to have a confident step to his walk, in the way he talked. He held himself differently, his smile more charming, the green in his eyes sparkling as he spoke. His laughter seems to fill the room, warming her.

Or maybe it's because Cressida Blume, her best friend, had been complaining about him non-stop since they came back to Hogwarts. Maybe that's what it was. Cressida had been complaining about Garreth was annoying her, acting cocky, and distracting everyone by blowing up his potions.

Briefly, she had entertained the idea of Cressida having a crush on Garreth but quickly lost that train of thought when she had to physically stop Cressida from trying to stab Garreth with her fork after the boy had knocked over a goblet of water, spilling it over Cressida's notes, sending the girl into a vicious rant as Garreth just gaped at her.

She knew then that Cressida did indeed not harbour a crush on Garreth Weasley but the urge to smack him silly into the Black Lake.

She knew that Garreth could rub people up the wrong way, especially with his potions – experiments, really – but she found that she liked the way he worked on his potions or whenever he got a new idea.

His eyes would light up, his hands gesturing, and he would rattle off a list of ingredients that he would be using in his potion, even asking her if she would be able to help him get them.

Oh…maybe it was the way his green eyes would be looking at her, pleading with a hopeful expression. The way his lips would curl up into that smile that made her want to do anything for him.

(And anything she did, she lost count of the times she procured some ingredients for his latest experiments).

Or maybe it was the late-night talks they would have when they couldn't sleep, bringing them to a world of their own, where no one else existed, where they were the centre of each other's world just for a short time.

Or maybe she was just being stupid.

Annabelle rolled her eyes with a soft groan and pushed the comforter off as she sat up, grabbing her robe and slipping it over her nightgown, slipping her feet into her slippers and she slowly made her way out of her room, careful not to wake up her roommates.

Especially Cressida, who was currently mumbling spells under her breath. A fond smile came to Annabelle's lips as she paused to watch her best friend then she shook her head. She was just glad that Cressida's spells didn't work in her sleep, having removed the wand far away from the other girl.

She had learned her lesson about letting Cressida keep her wand close by the hard way.

Annabelle slowly made her way down the stairs, her hand gliding over the bannister when an unfamiliar scent filled her senses, a sweet scent…flowers and honey.

Then the visions came, too fast, too brief, too much just as her hand tightened on the bannister as her knees weakened and she rested against the wall, breathing heavily.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and let the emotions bleed out from her, centring herself before she exhaled slowly, a tear slipping free.

The visions featured the new girl.

Dark blue Ravens fluttered in the air above her. White and light blue magic swirled protectively around her.

Her dark blue eyes filled with tears. Her smile…so blinding, yet so broken.

And cupped in her hands was a heart, shattered and full of pain.

Annabelle wanted to scream, she wanted to rage, she wanted to slide down the wall and cry, to hide away from the world and the pain it wanted to inflict on everyone in its wake.

She hated her visions with a passion. So much hurt and fear and anger came because of them. She remembered the stones that would be thrown in her direction, the names she would be called because of what she said.

The terror whenever she would get one and would be forced to decide what she needed to do. Tell or keep her mouth shut.

The reactions when she did tell someone.

Witch. They called her. She should be burned at the stake. They threatened her.

Until it happened and fear would be shown in her direction. The terror was almost palpable and they'd keep their distance until they seem to forget, and the circle would start up again.

Witch.

How they were so right yet so wrong at the same time.

She made her way into the Gryffindor common room, drawn to the large couch next to the fire, which was still burning, and removed her robes as she sat down, curling up and drawing her robes around her like a blanket.

She stared into the fireplace, wishing she could clear her mind. Sometimes, the fire would warm her, soothe her. Listening to the pop and crackle of the wood burning beneath the flame, letting it carry her away to a world far from here.

Other times…it came with the smell of smoke, the screams of terror, the wind rushing around her as the flame flickered at her fingertips, reminding her…

"Annabelle."

Annabelle jumped at the sound of his voice, drawing her robes tighter around her frame as she looked up at the edge of the couch to see him standing there.

"Garreth!"

The concern gave way to a sheepish expression as he held up his hands in surrender.

"Sorry." His voice was low. His red curls were mussed, his robes thrown haphazardly over his sleepwear, and she frowned.

"What are you doing up?" she found herself asking.

Garreth stared at her for a long moment before he frowned.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"

Annabelle shook her head, confused when Garreth sighed. "May I sit?" He gestured to the seat where her feet were. "It's a little awkward standing and talking to you."

Annabelle just stared at him, unblinking, for a moment before it dawned on her, and she felt her cheeks heat up.

"I'm sorry." She pulled her feet closer to her. "Of course, have a seat." She fumbled with the robe, wrapping it around her a little tighter as Garreth sat down on the space left for him and he sighed heavily.

She watched him carefully,

"So, why are you up?" he looked at her.

"I asked you first."

That got a ghost of a smile from him as he tilted his head, narrowing his eyes at her. She merely stared back at him.

"Home sickness," he slowly admitted. "The beginning of the term usually has me feeling a little…unconnected from my family. As weird as it sounds." He gave her a self-conscious chuckle.

"You miss your family, that isn't weird." She sighed deeply. "They must miss you too."

"My younger sister hates it when I must leave to go to Hogwarts. She always wants to sneak into my bag so I can bring her here." Annabelle smiled at the image.

"How old is she?"

"Six. She will be turning Seven in October and she already has asked for her present. For us to come back home for her birthday. Including our older brother and sister."

"Yes, I have met them, briefly. Frederick, who is in Seventh Year and Gwendolyn, in sixth year. Both are Gryffindor because that's what Weasley does."

"Fred and Gwen, yes." He raised his index finger into the air. "And don't call them by their full name unless you would like them to pull rank," he warned her. "That's right only belongs to our mother." She smiled.

"I think I remember someone calling Gwen by her full name and got a leg-locking curse in return." Garreth chuckled at the memory as he nodded.

"Some Slytherin fifth year at the time. I think he tried to make a move on her. She was not highly receptive to his…attention if I remember correctly."

"Are you close to your younger sister?" she asked, lifting her arm to rest her elbow on the armrest and cupping her chin with her hand as she watched him.

"She's the baby. I was the first one to see her after she was born. She was so small, so loud." He grinned, clearly lost in his memories that it made her heart pang. She wondered what it was like to have a family, a sibling, to have someone to care about, someone who was a part of you.

"What's her name?" she found herself asking.

"Chloe." The love was clear in his voice.

"That's a beautiful name. It stands for a green shoot on a plant or flower. It's a symbol for blooming."

"You know your names." Garreth looked at her and she blinked as she came out of her thoughts then gave him a sheepish grin.

"I like finding out the meaning of names. It's always interesting to know if the person reflects their name."

Garreth let out a low hum as he nodded before he looked at her.

"My turn. Why are you up?"

"I couldn't sleep." She sighed heavily. "It's always like this when I come back to Hogwarts. It takes…a little adjustment."

"Noise?" he questioned, and she laughed, softly. He had no idea how close he was. She shook her head.

"Coming from a non-magical household to a magical castle," she explained, giving a truth as close as she could without giving anything away.

Only Cressida and the Professors knew she lived in an orphanage. Professor Fig suspected what went on in the orphanage, but he never asked her, and she never told him.

Cressida knew more.

Garreth made a noise at the back of his throat, and she glanced back up at him again. "It can take a little adjustment getting used to all the magical things around me."

"You never speak of your home."

"It's not an interesting conversation." She gave him a small smile, returning her gaze to the fire.

"I don't know. Seems like you are an interesting person." That made her cheeks heat up as she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye to see him tilting his head before she returned to the fire.

She couldn't let him get too close. She tried hard to keep her distance from her housemate. Cressida managed to squeeze her way past Annabelle's walls before she could fully get them up, but she couldn't let Garreth gets too close, no matter how tempting it was.

"I can assure you that I am not interesting." Silence descended between the two of them, the only noise was the sound of the fire crackling when Garreth broke the silence.

"You know, it's a shame you never took Care of Magical Creature in our third year."

What? Annabelle blinked at the fire as she mulled over Garreth's words then glanced at him, even more confused when she saw the grin on his face.

"I was more concerned about controlling my magic." She gave him a suspicious look. "Adding in magical creatures didn't quite seem like a good idea at the time."

"I'm just saying you missed out on a really good class."

That made Annabelle curious about what he was talking about, and he smiled. "Especially since I know you like Diricawls."

That surprised her, and it must have shown because he smirked. "I saw those drawings. Those were good, by the way." She felt her cheeks heat up. She never knew that he had seen her drawings.

Clearing her throat, she refocused her attention on Garreth.

"Alright, tell me."

"So, it was our first class and Professor Howin was introducing us all to the wonderful creatures that we would be learning and caring for." He was grinning and being dramatic that she bit her lower lip to stop the smile from crossing her lips.

It only served to encourage him, flashing her a brilliant smile that made her cheeks heat up and her chest flutter.

"She said that diricawls were the creatures we were going to learn about as they are a harmless creatures. So, the class was going along great until one of the diricawls decided it didn't want to go back into its pen and hopped up onto Professor Howin's desk…and gave this look to Leander."

"Oh, that look." She knew the look. It was a defiant look, the challenge, the dare to come and capture it.

She always liked seeing that look. Sometimes she wished she could mimic that look.

"So, Leander, being Leander," that made a giggle slip out before she caught herself, cupping a hand over her mouth. He brightened, "Decided that he would be the one to capture the diricawl."

"Oh…no." She had a feeling where this story is going.

"Snuck up behind it, all stealth-like – commenting he was like a cat." She covered her eyes, "And he pounced, swift like toward the diricawl…which disappeared."

Annabelle tried her hardest not to let the laugher slip free, her hand dropping from her eyes to her mouth, meeting his dancing green eyes.

"So, he fell, face first into the mud – of course," that made Annabelle smile at the image, "Then the diricawl reappeared on his back and let out this bloodcurdling scream, Leander started screaming then the whole class is in an uproar, screaming and yelling that Professor Howin was trying her hardest to calm everyone down. Didn't work so well as the other diricawls thought it was a good idea to join in the screaming."

Annabelle pulled up her robes and buried her face into the fabric, muffling her laughter at the image of their classmates flailing around. Poor Professor Howin. The professor had her hands full with Poppy Sweeting and her love for the creatures, never mind the entire class acting up.

She could only imagine the expression on Professor Howin's face at the sight, could imagine Poppy's expression and she, briefly, wished she had been there for the class.

It took a moment before Annabelle managed to calm herself down, she pulled her robes down from her face to see Garreth's pleased smile and shook her head, fondly, at him.

"We eventually got the diricawls back into their pen. It did take Poppy calming them down and bribing them with food. They weren't too happy with the rest of us." Garreth chuckled as Annabelle wiped away the tears from her cheeks.

"And Leander?" She managed to ask.

"Oh, he hates the things. Refuses to have anything to do with them." He grinned and Annabelle burst into fresh laughter, dropping her head back into her robes.

It took a moment to control her laughter, to get her breath back and she pulled away from the robes, meeting Garreth's happy expression.

"I shouldn't have laughed. Poor Leander," she admitted with a sheepish smile.

"I am sure he would be happy to hear that," Garreth grinned. "He does have a hard time living it down. As a certain Slytherin likes to remind him occasionally."

"Is that the one who tends to…flirt with him? Cassie?" she asked, cautiously and he shrugged.

"Who knows when it comes to them. They are either flirting or fighting. Sometimes it's both at the same time."

That made Annabelle smile as she thought back on seeing Leander and Cassiopeia Black. The two of them have always been at each other's throats since her third year – although Cressida told her that it had been their thing ever since they first met each other in their first year.

Prewett and Black don't get along, Cressida had told her. It was a family thing, especially considering that the Black were of pure blood superiority. But she had never seen the attitude with Cassie.

The Slytherin girl was…aloof. If she was in the company of someone, it was Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt, her fellow Slytherins but Annabelle always saw her on her own, keeping to herself.

Annabelle found herself admiring Cassie. The way she held herself, the way she walked, talked. Nothing fazed Cassie. If anything happened, she would just look at it with thinly veiled interest before she would move on.

She had seen people attempting to surprise Cassie, play tricks and pranks only for Cassie to deflect it quite masterfully and walk on.

However, when it came to Leander, there was something about the tall redhead that made Cassie stop in her tracks, stand to her full height and fire back insults, a fire to her spirit, to her eyes, even her lips.

Even Leander was different when it came to Cassie, not backing down. He was usually a sweet boy, stumbling over his words and unconfident in himself when she spoke to him but with Cassie, there was nothing of that boy.

"Sometimes it takes the right person to bring you out of your shell," she found herself saying, glancing up at Garreth. "She…seems to come alive when she's around him." She frowned and shook her head. "I am probably not making any sense-"

"You're right," Garreth gently interrupted, and she met his eyes curiously. "I got to know her through our potion classes. She's not as closed off as one would think considering the way she acts. But when Leander is around, it's like he just…"

"Draws a spark from her," she finished, and he nodded with a grin.

"Thought he would totally kill me in my sleep if he ever heard me saying this." She grinned. "I mean it, I can see my headstone now, 'smothered in sleep for gossiping'." That made her laugh again.

"He's not that mean." She protested.

"It sure feels like it sometimes," Garreth muttered under his breath, drawing an eye roll from her then she nudged at his thigh with her bare feet when Garreth wrapped his hand around it, drawing it onto his lap.

"You know how Leander is." Her eyes followed his movement, wiggling her toes when his fingers trailed over the tip of them then she met his green eyes. "He comes off as brash, but he does care for you. And he won't smother you in your sleep for gossiping about him." She smiled. "More likely to drop something in your drink."

That made Garreth laugh, ducking his head forward, causing his curls to fall and she watched, mesmerised by him. She had always been drawn to the fiery red curls, and how they would shine in the sunlight.

But here, against the glow of the fire, he seemed to radiate warmth, his hair taking on a golden glow that she found it hard to take her eyes off him.

"But when he's around her…" Garreth trailed off.

"He's more confident in himself. It is like she makes him forget what it's like to be nervous. He acts like the man you know he could be if he wasn't so unconfident."

"We are so dead in the morning." Garreth mused with a nod. "He's not even going to bury the bodies."

Annabelle laughed as she pushed her foot into his hand, enjoying the way he ran his fingers over the top of her foot. She wiggled her toes, drawing a smile from him as he tapped the tip of her big toe and glanced up at her.

"Can I ask a question?"

"You already did." She smiled at the look he was giving her. "But you're welcome to ask another one."

"Feisty." He had an amused smile playing on his lips and she rolled her eyes.

"You don't know everything about me, Garreth Weasley."

"I can see that." He chuckled as he shook his head before he tugged on her toe. "You never mention old friends." She licked her bottom lip. "You joined us in our third year, and you took to Cressida quickly."

"I think you will find it was actually the opposite," she corrected him, "She took to me quite quickly. Actually, now I think about it," she brought a finger to her chin thoughtfully, "She pretty much declared me as her best friend."

Garreth was laughing as she smiled, enjoying his laughter. She loved-liked! Liked his laughter. It always made her smile, feel warm, safe – if a laugh could do that, it would be Garreth's – and not so alone.

Like she would be. Cold. Alone. Shunned.

Witch.

"I was just wondering about your old school, the one you went to before you came to Hogwarts."

You should burn.

"Was it like Hogwarts? A big school?

Or maybe you should drown.

"No." She came out of her dark thoughts, her memories.

She would never have to go back there. She was in a new place, a new school, with new people.

But come the summer…heat wasn't the only hell.

"My school was small. Nothing fancy like Hogwarts. We'd get to leave when school was finished. We never stayed there."

Garreth made a noise of wonderment. She knew that the students of Hogwarts didn't know much of the non-magical world. How things were different there than it was here.

How people couldn't protect themselves with magic in the non-magical world. Even so…those who did have magic still couldn't protect themselves.

Not if they wanted to bring down the wrath of the Ministry for daring to break their rules. Rules that non-magical did not know.

"And the students? Did you make friends?"

Stones thrown.

Curses.

Taunting.

It was hard to look back at the memories. Hard to see the faces. They'd blur together, morphing into one.

"No." She shook her head. "People didn't want to be friends with someone who could make weird things happen just by being there." She swallowed nervously.

That was the wrong thing to say as Garreth frowned and her nerves flared.

"Weird things? I thought your magic didn't manifest until before our third year?"

"Not…exactly," she murmured as she looked away from him toward the fire and maybe that was the wrong thing to do as it brought back even more memories.

The flames licked the fabric, rushing up and surrounding the windows.

The screams as they fought against the door, the lock clicking defiantly. The pounding of fists against the wood

And her…just staring at the flames.

"My magic would flare up. Mostly when I was," Tormented, "Upset. Once I knew what was happening, or at least understood that I was the reason, I found a way to…control it."

The implication was clear in the silence before his breath hitched and she looked at him to see the horror in his expressive green eyes.

"You…supressed your magic?" he sounded incredulously, and she slowly nodded.

"I know."

"You could have…" he trailed off.

"I know." She sighed, giving him a look. "Professor Fig told me everything. After he gave me into trouble for supressing my magic. But there is something you need to understand. Not everyone in the non-magical world is…ready for what we can do. And not everyone is accepting of it."

She fell silent as she picked at her nails, frowning as she tried to push back her memories of the orphanage. Now wasn't the time to be thinking about it, not while she was too close to him.

He was easy to talk to, easy to confide in. She felt he could understand her, that he wouldn't judge her so it would be so easy to tell him the truth.

However, she knew from experience that no one is who they seem. And no matter how much she wanted to, it was safer – for both of them – for her to keep her secret deep within herself.

"It must have been weird when someone showed up to say you were a witch."

"It was your aunt." She smiled sadly at the memory.

"Aunt Matilda?" he asked, surprised and she nodded.

"She had been the one task to track me down. She took me to a little park down the way and explained the situation to me. Said it was unusual for a student to be found later in the years of Hogwarts – although I think the new Ravenclaw might have me beat there."

"But I thought Professor Fig was the one to meet you? Aunt Matilda never said anything when I saw her that summer."

"She suggested Professor Fig after we had our conversation. Professor Fig was in a better position to explain the situation. It took some time, but it eventually was resolved, and I was able to come to Hogwarts. He was the one to take me to Diagon Alley to get my wand and things and I stayed with him and his wife until it was time to come Hogwarts. Mostly because they had to teach me two years' worth of classes."

"And your home? Did they understand?"

"In a way."

There was nothing she could say that would describe how they had reacted, how they had treated her.

Knowing that she was going to Hogwarts, knowing that she would be away from the orphanage for a year was the hope that she clung to, shining brightly amongst the darkness and the pain.

She knew Garreth wanted to ask her more questions. She could see it on his face. He had the most expressive face she had ever seen. He was never good at lying. Something Leander like to exploit whenever Garreth had gotten up to something and was trying to hide it from his best friend.

Both sat in silence for a long moment when the clock chimed softly, and she looked up before she sighed heavily.

"We should go to bed. Even though it is the weekend, no doubt our friends will want us up bright and early to get a start on the day."

Garreth groaned at the thought, and she couldn't help but laugh at the sound. It was a break in the mood that had descended over them.

"At least Cressida will be nice to you in the morning. Leander, on the other hand, will probably drag me out of my bed by my ankle."

"I don't know about Cressida," Annabelle hummed under her breath, "She has been working on her spells and I'm pretty sure she might have perfected her aguamenti charm." She pulled a face. "I think she is trying to add flavour to it now so she can sneak drinks in the library."

Garreth gaped at her, and she smiled. "Cressida hasn't quite learned her lesson about annoying the Librarian. I do wonder how Madam Scribner survives both Cressida's spell work and Sebastian's frequent attempts to break into the Restricted Section."

"I am surprised that the Librarian came back this year after the trouble she had last year," Garreth grumbled.

"Maybe it only made her more determined to protect the library."

"Then good luck to her. O. and N.E. on the line, and with our year having the exams…well, we all know how hectic our year can be."

"Not to mention you and your affinity for potions." She glanced at him from under her eyelashes with a smile.

"And you and your affinity for flying. I thought Madam Kogawa was going to turn you upside down for that stunt you pulled."

That made her laugh aloud, bringing up her robes to muffle her laughter as she shook her head. "You also gave Professor Black some grey hair if I remember correctly. I think I heard him mumbling about needing a mirror."

That made her laugh harder at the image as she reached out one hand to slap Garreth on the shoulder as he chuckled.

"It wasn't that bad of a stunt," she protested as she pulled her robes away, giving a hiccup that made Garreth laugh harder, and she rolled her eyes at him.

"I don't know. Cressida was certainly upset with you afterwards," Garreth remarked as he grinned, amusement dancing in his eyes as she held her breath, trying to get rid of her hiccups.

"Don't. I think I still have the scars from her lecture," she breathed out slowly, testing herself.

"Not literal ones I hope." Garreth's eyes scanned her, and she scoffed, fighting down the blush that threatened to fill her cheeks under his gaze.

"She's not that bad. Despite your best attempt to rile her up."

"Me?" His hand went to his chest in mock despair. "I do not know what you are talking about my dear lady."

"Oh no, don't you try and charm your way out of this." He arched an eyebrow at her, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.

"You think I'm charming?"

"And you're deflecting the conversation." She nudged at his hand again with her foot before pulling her foot away before he could grasp it. "And we really should go to bed before your aunt comes in because someone decided to blab." She glanced at the portraits around them and Garreth blanched.

"Good idea." He stood up first, stretching his arms over his head and her eyes locked onto the bare skin of his stomach that was revealed when his nightshirt rose with his movements.

She bit her bottom lip when she noticed a trail of dark red hair dipping beneath his night trousers before swiping her tongue over her bottom lip and clearing her throat when his shirt dropped back into place, darting her eyes off to the side to pretend she hadn't been watching him.

A hand came into view, and she stared at it for a moment before lifting her eyes to meet his green ones then slipped her hand into his, letting Garreth pull her up from the couch, her feet sliding into her slippers, his other hand catching her robe as it slid down her body.

Her breath caught in her chest when Garreth slowly straightened to his full height, and she found herself staring into his eyes.

"Here," his voice sounded hoarse, "I'll help you put this on." He opened the robe and she swallowed nervously, acutely aware that she only was wearing a thin nightgown that tugged tight in places.

Annabelle slowly turned around and slipped her arms through the sleeves, sighing when he pulled the robes over her shoulder then slowly slid his hands down her arms as he leaned in.

She closed her eyes when his scent washed over her then his fingers gently tugged at her hair, pulling it free from the robes then lightly glided down her back.

"There we are." She swallowed nervously before she turned around, tugging her robes close and gave him a small smile.

"Thank you." She leaned in. "Such a gentleman," she teased, trying to break the tension between them and he smile.

"Anytime." With that, they made their way up the stairs, reaching the landing that split them up to the fifth years' rooms and they turned to face each other, and Annabelle found herself unwilling to pull away from him.

Garreth seemed to be feeling the same way as her as he looked down at her with a look on his face that she couldn't quite describe but she knew they needed to make the parting quickly. Every moment spent lingering was a moment closer to being caught.

"Hey." She drew his attention and gave him a smile. "Thank you. For telling me about your first day in Care of Magical Creatures." She shrugged softly. "It was nice to take my mind off things. And I promise not to tell Leander what you told me."

That got a sheepish smile in return.

"Thank you, for sharing with me a little bit of your history." His smile turned softer, genuine. "I won't tell anyone, even my aunt."

"Thank you." Gathering her courage, she pushed herself on tiptoes and pressed her lips against his cheek, feeling the start of a stubble and it sent shivers down her spine before she pulled away, dropping back onto her heels, glancing up to see Garreth was looking at her lips before he raised his eyes to meet hers.

"Goodnight," Her voice was low, almost hushed and he swallowed.

"Goodnight."

Annabelle pulled away from him, drawing her hand from his as she stepped up the stairs, never taking her eyes off him.

"I will see you soon."

That got a smile from him as he watched her.

"I'll hold you to that."

With a smile, Annabelle turned around and made her way into her room, softly closing the door behind her so she didn't wake up her roommates and with a small twirl, making way over to her bed, her cheeks hurting from smiling and she placed her hands over them, feeling how warm they were.

She was as giddy as a lovesick girl, but she found that she didn't care. She had spent another night talking to Garreth, getting to know him better and opening a little more to him and she wondered if it was a possibility for them, in the future…

Cressida's sleepy voice, commanding spells, brought her out of her daydream and her smile faded as the reality of her situation dawned on her.

This wasn't a good idea.

He was the nephew of the deputy headmistress, who was keeping a close eye on both him and her.

She was an orphan, who was a freak growing up for her ability to see the future, tormented by those who were supposed to protect her.

Her heart heavy, sinking deep into her chest she let out a sigh as she reached her bed.

No. She couldn't give herself hope like that. She pulled back the covers, kicked off her slippers and removed her robes, hanging it over the nearby chair and climbed into her bed, pulling the covers over as she turned onto her side.

She knew what she needed to do, despite what she wanted to do, no matter how tempting it was.

Annabelle will do what she did best. Shove her feelings down deep. Keep up her walls and survive.

She could only be friends with Garreth Weasley, nothing more.

Pushing down the lump that formed in her throat, she turned her face into her pillow and allowed a tear to slip free.

It was better, for all of them.
