The days of the week
Greenday
The first day of the week and named after spring, which revives life after winter.
Gyday
The story goes that Gydorrhea was founded the day after Greenday. In memory of her founding, the second day of the week is named after her.
Daylon
The third day of the week. The Daylon is a heavy and profound meditation, especially practiced by magicians to expand their minds and expose their bodies to Arcane energies. Daylon reminds them of the importance of meditation and that the time has come to practice it. No large and noisy events may be organized on this day.
Jenday
The fourth day of the week. Jen is old Draconian for "to exchange" or "to trade." The third day of the week is named after Jen, because that's when the markets take place. Jenday is market day.
Milk day
The fifth day of the week. It used to be customary that on Milkday the cows were milked and the fresh milk was transported to Gydorrhea. Nowadays cows are also milked on other days and a lot of milk is exported to other parts of the empire.
Aryaday
The sixth day of the week. Named after the second sun that passes the Necrotic Obelisk each week on Aryaday, indicating that the remaining days have not shifted and the correct time metric is still used.
Rustyday
The seventh day and last day of the working week. People look forward to the days off and are less productive. As a joke, this day was called Rustyday. Because an official thought that Rustyday was the official name, it is also noted as such in the time treaty of Gydorrhea.
Freeday
The eighth day. The first day off of the week. It's all in the name. Only shops and leisure facilities are open.
Endday
The ninth day. The second day off of the week, named after the end of a cycle. Only shops and leisure facilities are open.
Lightday
The tenth day and the third day off of the week. As a holy day, this day is not included among the days of the week by the people. Officially, Lightday is the last day of the week, although some believe it is the first day of a new week. Many shops and leisure facilities are also closed on this day, because everyone should have the opportunity to attend service in the Cathedral of Light.

New Years Kiss
Yeah so I made MORE Wenclair lol-
I’m a sucker for them <3 alrighty so it’s New Year’s Eve or whatever and this is right after the Battle of Nevermore. (I think bc the timeline seemed like the first few months of the school year which normally starts august/September so it’s probably roughly around there)
enjoy Ig :)
Wednesday 1st Person POV
Finally. New Years Eve without my parents. Ever loving with a perfect marriage, New Years was even worse than their normal kissing parade. But now that I was at Nevermore, I’d be spending it with my new…friends? I loath such wording. Enid, Bianca, Eugene, Yoko, Ajax, and Xavier were going to have a New Years Eve party together, which was weird, since none of them were dating. Enid and Ajax had broke up, and Enid said nothing other than “I need time to figure myself out.” Quite vague, which is unusual for ever talkative Enid. Yoko, Eugene, and Bianca had no crushes whatsoever, and I had simply rejected Xavier. He wasn’t my type.
A New Years Party with no kissing. My kind. After much pleading from Enid and Eugene (and a resentful comment of “it’d be better if you socialized for once” from Bianca) I agreed to coming. So here I was, December 31st. Enid was still sleeping (“I need rest if I’m staying up that late!”) but I was wide awake. Thing was next to me, his colorful nails — thanks to Enid — shining in the sunlight. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. What did one wear to New Years Parties?
“Maybe a Dress?” Thing signed.
“I wore a dress for that Rave’N.”
“Then wear some nice pants and a shirt,”
“what would that count as? I’m not going to wear something sparkly.” I added, pointing a finger at Thing sternly. Thing raised his hand in defense.
“Ask Enid for help!”
“I’m not asking Enid. She wears things with color.”
“Then what do you want from me?”
“I don’t know, be useful for once?”
Thing flipped me the finger. I sighed and left the bathroom, still unsure of what to wear.
“Hey roomieeee!” Enid said, running up to me, though stopping a few inches short of me. She was starting to get the hang of not hugging me, which I respected.
“Hello Enid.”
“Happy New Years Eve!”
“Yes. Happy.”
“Oh! I made this for you!” Enid rummaged in her pocket, pulling out candy and hairpins. What did she have in there? Finally, Enid pulled out two bracelets. “They’re friendship bracelets! They say ‘E + W <3’, for Enid and Wednesday!”
“Oh. Ya know, I’m not really a jewelry person—”
“Oh. That’s okay. I figured you wouldn’t wear it anyways…”
I looked at Enid and saw the slight disappointment in her face. I looked at the bracelets. While hers was bright, mine was gray and black. It even had a skull charm on it. I sighed. I grabbed the bracelet and put it on my wrist. Enid gasped with delight.
“Oh! Wednesday thank you thank you thank you thank you!!” She said, practically jumping. Such physical expression of emotion was unusual to me. I was used to the disgusting practices of gluing ones face onto another, like Mother and Father.
Thing came up behind me and bent himself low.
“Don’t worry Thing, I made one for us too!” Enid pulled out another bracelet and put it on him, and that’s when I noticed the second bracelet Enid had on that said ‘E + T’. I smiled.
“I’m sure Thing really likes his bracelet.”
“Yes, Thing,” Enid said, giggling and walking away. That laugh was light and bubbly and horridly wonderful. It was as bright as the covers of her pop music. While I hate that excuse for music, Enid’s laugh was the exception. I watched her walk away and then I went to my side of the room. I turned on my phone and called my parents.
“Oh- Gomez dear, how do you turn on the…what was it? Face showing?”
“FaceTiming my horrid temptress~”
“Oh Gomez, you awful bat~”
I sighed. “Hit the button at the top that looks like a camera.” Suddenly, my parents faces came into view.
“Oh Wednesday! How’s my evil little black cat doing?” Father said.
“Absolutely horrid.”
“As usual!” Laughed Father. Mother took the phone from Father and zoomed it out.
“I can’t believe this is our first New Years without you!”
“How time flies Mother.”
“Do you have any one special your going to kiss at midnight?”
“Why would I take part in such gross and romantic traditions?”
“Really? Not even your friend Enid?” I blushed.
“WHAT—” Enid shouted, crossing the room and coming into view of the camera. I covered my face with my hand.
“Hello Enid!” Mother Said cheerfully.
“Um- hi Mrs. Addams,”
“Morticia, please,”
“Morticia. Me and Wednesday don’t like eachother like that. We are just roommates!” I groaned under the table. Thing was on my lap and doing that stupid heart hand (🫰). I was going to murder him.
“Really? But what about that thing on Wednesday’s wrist? I’m not sure about this camera quality but it seems to say ‘E + W’ with a little heart.”
Enid fell silent. I glanced over to see she was blushing too.
“U-uh. Those— AHEM— those are just, um, friendship bracelets,” Enid stuttered. Mother just smirked and said
“Sure,”
I groaned at grabbed the phone. “Enid and me are just friends, nothing more. If you could please leave me alone now Mother.”
“Ok my little raven, we’ll go now. Your cousin Itt invited us to a get together anyways and we must get going. Be safe! Love you!”
“Yes yes, goodbye Mother,” I said hanging up. I turned off my phone and looked at Enid. Her hand was over her mouth and she was staring into a corner.
“I apologize for my mother Enid. She had no intent on making you uncomfortable.”
“W-what?” Enid said, looking at me. She started backing away and pulling at her shirt collar. “no! Haha, we’re just friends after all! Your mother was just joking, I’m sure! Um,” Enid grabbed the door on and swung it open, “I forgot I was going to go see Yolo- I MEAN YOKO- to err- give her something. Bye!” She finished, slamming the door behind her. I leaned back and covered my face.
“Uggggghhhhhh,” I cannot believe that happened. I uncovered my face to see Thing above me.
“You do Like her don’t you?” He signed. I shoved him off and got up, walking out to the balcony.
“Of course not. We’re just friends. Besides, she was freaked out by it anyways. She obviously doesn’t like me like that.”
but no matter how much I repeated that, all I could think about was the way Enid blushed. The way I blushed. How stupid.
Enid came back after 30 minutes and grabbed a couple of clothing items, and left within 5 minutes. I sat at my writing desk and didn’t acknowledge her. I was screaming internally. It was like someone turned on one of Brittany Spear’s love songs in my brain and I couldn’t turn it off. It was torture.
Around 9 PM, I finally got up and decided to get ready. Luckily, Thing had an outfit idea all ready. I had to admit it looked good. A white large collar button up with bishop sleeves and some black silk slacks. I paired them with my chunky (✨) boots. I took my braids and twisted them into a low bun in the back of my head. I looked wonderfully terrible. (Author’s note: Enid would say she looked ✨ Snazzy ✨)
I arrived at the location of the party, a teachers longer with a cable TV, so we could watch that weird Dick dude’s show where the New York hall dropped. I was greeted by Bianca first, who was dressed in a gold sequined dress.
“Wow, the edgy savior showed up. I suppose I should bow before the hero who saved my life?”
“Even that would be low for you Bianca,”
we both high fives and Bianca told me that everyone else was by the couch. I walked over and everyone was there, except Enid. Oh no. Did Mother freak her out so much she didn’t show up?
“Don’t worry, your wolf gal is here, she’s just in the bathroom,” Yoko said, sporting a striped pantsuit and heels. I didn’t say anything about how she claimed Enid was my ‘wolf gal’ (the lack of comprehensive grammar was hurtful to my ears) but I was plotting her death in my mind. I grabbed a cup of the dark red fruit punch and waited until Enid came out. When she did I nearly choked.
Enid was wearing bright gold bellbottom pants with a white tank top and a shimmering see through top. She had flowers on her pants and flower jewelry. She looked pretty good. I definitely wasn’t used to seeing her so dressed up.
After everyone had got a drink, Ajax pulled out a game called ‘Cards Against Humanity’ which was shockingly inappropriate and fun. We played through all that then played a quick round of Never Have I Ever (turns out both Bianca and Yoko had vodka before) before it was already 11:58.
We turned on the TV and sat together as the clock began counting down from a minute thirty. Enid was sitting next to me. I already knew how this would go. Xavier and Bianca would kiss as friends, Ajax and Enid would kiss, and Eugene and Yoko would take a drink of their punch. I wasn’t a fan of New Years, so I would sit and feel no difference between this year and the next. It was all another day. But as the clock reached ten, and everyone else began cheering and counting down, Enid grabbed my hand and pulled me up to stand beside her, her arm around my waist.
10. I looked at Enid.
9. time slowed.
8. I looked around
7. Xavier and Ajax were standing together,
6. Eugene, Bianca, and Yoko all had drinks
5. They had dared the boys to kiss on midnight.
4. Enid looked at me.
3. Her smile faded
2. I leaned in closer.
I closed my eyes.
“HAPPY NEW YEAR!”
Cheers all around me. Horns blowed and laughter ensued at the boys pecking. And something warm. Warm and soft. It was on my lips. I opened my eyes. And there was Enid, her lips pressed on mine. I closed my eyes and pulled Enid closer. Two mouths combined, two hearts turned into one whole. I finally understood what my parents felt. Love. Me and Enid pulled apart and looked at eachother. Enid looked at me with shock and smiled. She laughed and pressed her forehead against mine. My lips turned upwards ever so slightly.
“YA! THEY KISSED! BIANCA OWES ME $10 NOW HAHA!” Yoko shouted.
“DAMMIT YOU TWO WHY COULD’NT YOU HAVE KISSED DURING CHRISTMASTIME?” Bianca yelled.
Enid and look over to see them both. Enid laughed along but I silently gave them a glare and they stopped laughing.
“Bro your lips are chapped as hell,” Xavier said, wiping his mouth.
“Yeah right, you didn’t even kiss them, you kissed my cheek like a chicken,”
“I don’t need to feel them to see how nasty and crusty they look,”
“Shut up!”
That New Year had not turned out as I thought. But surprises come when you least expect them. I kissed Enid again to many cheers, and Enid smiled.
Authors Note: yay lesbians 👍 btw that Ajax Xavier thing wasn’t a ship I just thought it’d be funny idk. New Year’s parties are like that 🤷♂️ I don’t ship that but if u do that’s cool 👌
also here’s a little scene for y’all ❤️
“Yokooooooooooo” Enid burst into Yoko’s room, where Bianca was sitting.
“What’s wrong?”
“Wednesdays parents thought we were dating and I panicked and left Wednesday all alone andsheprobablyhatesmeandidontknowwhattodopleasehelpme—”
Yoko looked at Bianca and did a smug. Bianca glared with murderous intentions.
“Let’s make you look amazing for your girlfriend,”
“Thank you Yoko!”
“Your going to have to pay me back ya know”
“You can be my bridesmaid”
“YES-”
anyways happy new year! Let’s hope 2023 brings us better news! (And canon Wenclair)
