EAH VA/Seiyuus

You know where this is going. For @sayuricorner's TW x EAH AU.

So, this was inspired by these two videos:

Can Twisted Wonderland Character VAs Sing? Part 1

Can Twisted Wonderland Character VAs Sing? Part 2

And that got the gears in my head turning and I just went with it, so here it is!

A few key things:

There are three VA/Seiyuus per character because I didn't want to overwhelm myself.

Some of the characters will have the same VAs because I thought the voice suited more than one character as well as to get a feel for their characters and because I was lazy about looking at every single VAs filmography.

I also included some of the roles those actors played so that there's some sort of building block for them.

I won't be including their English or Latin America VAs because you can find those on the EAH wikia, but I'll include a link.

(It's looooong so it's under the cut.)

Enjoy my usual insanity.

OMG THE WAY I DROPPED A WINX CLUB AU FIC JUST THIS MORNING WHILE THINKING OF MAYBE WRITING ONE ON MONSTER HIGH OR EVER AFTER HIGH or maybe when i feel talented enough, on MLP ONLY TO OPEN MY DASH TO SEE YOUR EAH AU FIGHTING BLEEDING LOSING i'm Ren and i'm a gigantic fan of fantasy children's shows which aren't actually children's shows in my opinion they're more teenagey than any riverdale or teen wolf anyways EAH SUPREMACY and BLESS YOUR SOUL FOR COMING UP WITH GOLDILOCKS!HYUCK

THIS ASK GOT ME SMILING SO HARD YOU HAVE NO IDEA

Hi Ren! I'm nix AND I AGREE SO MUCH ON THE LAST PART ABOUT HOW MOST CHILDREN'S SHOW ARE MUCH MORE DEEPER AND INTRIGUING THAN WHAT THEY SEEM AT FIRST GLANCE LIKE and omg by mlp do you mean my little pony help aksbddbskjxd that'd be such an interesting au to read? ALSO WINX CLUB AU WHAT??? almost had a moster high au in mind

I had this sudden nostalgic feeling after coming across eah videos on my yt feed the other day and while talking to another of my ibf and one thing led to other, thus, we are now here with blondielockes! Hyuck and ngl, i was a bit doubtful at first with that because ??? Does it really fit Hyuck tho? BUT NOW, i cannot imagine anyone else as blondielockes 😭 also the fact that,,, like, would anyone even read an ever after high au???? Because i really didn't see much content since it's almost inactive atp 😔

also,, i have more eah content in the non smau works too 🤭 perhaps a collab with a friend,,, but it's still in the works so yeah ! I am very excited about it :D thank you so much for dropping by btw, it's always nice to see other people who share the same interests as i do <33

can we get EAH au HCs for mysme pals and ocs 😎

That's a toughy. I'm not sure even where I would place all of the Mystic Messenger characters if I tried to translate them into Ever After High! Like, I'm going to have to sit here and think about it and see what strikes me as a possible reality where these things work out the way they should.

I have a rough idea but I never think about this enough. Because I want to give them their own stories instead of going off of the ones that we have in EAH, but it's easier for me to use them as a rough guide.

Yoosung Kim is likely... hm, the son of the Frog Prince. It just makes sense that he would be a very simple fairytale. He's kind of nervous and anxious. He would turn into a frog trying to talk to an MC that he thinks is pretty.

Yoosung wants to be flirty and forward with his emotions, but he's always tongue-tied and comparing himself to others. So, he's just waiting for his perfect kiss to help him become the prince that he's always been, but this time, he can actually see it.

Zen strikes me as a man that was born into a destiny that he didn't want to have. As in, it's very possible that Zen doesn't think he has a destiny because his older brother has one and it seems fairly pointed that if he has a destiny, it might just be like his sibling's.

Perhaps he avoids Ever After High like the plague if he can, he's forced into going by his parents, but he really doesn't want to live to see the day where he opens the book and sees the stuffy fantasy ahead of him. He definitely wants to be an actor, still, but he does not know his fate yet. Which is true of many male characters.

In another timeline, I might just say he's Cinderella's son since, in MM, he identifies so strongly with that.

Jaehee deserves a relaxed story. She could also very well be from a tragic fairytale. My heart says that she deserves a destiny where she just counts sheep as Little Bo Peep. But, there's another part of me that says that to question the possibility of her being the child of a princess that is fated for doom and despair the same way that her parents were?

Think of her being treated poorly by her aunt and uncle because of her destiny to come. I think of the swan princess and that makes my heart ache but... can you imagine that? Knowing that she's fated to be a swan forever? Yeah, that's gotta hurt a lot. She would try to be in her destiny to honor her line, but it would hurt.

Jumin strikes me as a man committed to his destiny. I see him as someone in the role of a family that is well-respected and honored. I can think of no greater title than to give him Snow White. As you know if you watch Ever After High, you know that Apple was more or less forced to be a perfectionist by her mother to gain affection, and that's not even counting the near-death experience that made her only believe she's safe in happily ever after.

I can see Jumin accepting his fate and leaning into it because he is oriented towards tradition... but if he's always pushing himself, is he really happy? It makes sense for him to be the Apple, because he's always trying to look out for others but neglects to look after himself when he needs it. Also, Apple and Briar are best friends, and since I see V as the Briar...

V is likely the son of Sleeping Beauty, actually. I don't think why I see it this way but I think there's something very telling about V trying to make the most of his life knowing that someday, he's going to fall into a deep sleep and lose everyone that he loves.

So, it makes sense that he might pour himself into trying to help others and give every part of himself away with what little time he has with his loved ones now. Because he'll lose everyone that isn't a part of his story when he pricks his finger. Everyone will be dead sans those that are in his story.

Seven and Saeran are the trickiest part because they need to be together to have the same destiny. I don't know a lot of stories with twins involved but going from Ever After High, I honestly read into the boys being the twins that are fated much like Holly and Poppy, who are Rapunzel's kids. The thing is, Holly wants to be Rapunzel, and Poppy doesn't, but birth order is how destiny is chosen.

A mistake is made and Poppy is actually the next Rapunzel, so they lie to let Holly have her destiny. So, in this sense. I think that it's very likely for Saeyoung to give his destiny for his twin, I'm not sure if it would be Rapunzel, but I like leaning into this idea that Saeyoung gives up his happily ever after so Saeran can be happy.

Rika is likely... well, I’ve seen her drawn as the witch from Hansel and Gretel, often. That’s possible for her. It would sting a little knowing that she’s been pushed to be that way because of destiny and fate, but it’s the most possible circumstance and it would add into more of why her adoptive family just... hated her so much.

And as far as my MCs go... I'm going to cry about that because I'm not sure.

The ask prompt is too long to fit into an ask TT_TT but here's the doc for it docs(.)google(.)com/document/d/1yDI7iFRhOJ8ENv_IwZAo3rDSUqj80EiJROS10RzRbj4/edit

the lengths u are going for this,,, much appreciated you're very sweet!!!

prompts + answers under the cut!!

INTRODUCTION

Name: aloera

AO3 account: aloera

Fandoms you write for: bnha

How many stories have you written so far: 19

FANFICTION PROFILE

What's your favorite fandom to write for? hmm,,, used to do pjo and eah (ever after high) and eah was fun as fuck i will say!!! i think bnha is my fav mostly bc i made the most friends in this fandom :D

What's your favorite character/person to write for? bkg and kirishima!! cannot choose do not make me <3

Fic you'd want to improve? probably what we deserve? i rushed the beginning and the confession is a bit stilted imo

Hardest fic you've written? between lion and men -_- bc there is so much canon compliant stuff i've gotta write out before i get to the divergence and its HARD

Easiest fic you've written? come home to me!!! it happened so easily,,, no second guessing no writers block just vibes <33 was lovely i miss it

What would you say is the most "famous" fic you've ever written? also probably come home to me? its got the most interaction

first line of the first fic you've ever written and published. [not including my 2014 ffnet fics] "The bell rings, class starts, and Katsuki and Midoriya are inexplicably absent." from come home to me

Have you ever done a collab with another writer? yes!!!!! on two separate occasions and its so fucking fun i highly recommend trying it out its the best

Do you beta? if asked but honestly im a shit beta lmao

Do you like joining fic fests/exchanges? depends on what i have going on irl but in general yeah!!

FANFICTION PREFERENCES

Fluff or angst? definitely fluff

"OCs" or "Reader" inserts? reader inserts!! have been going ham on them recently

Blurbs or drabbles? blurbs!!

One thing you love about fanfiction i just. i really love slice of life romance?? and most media doesn't give you that bc its dedicated to plot and action and that's valid!! but fanfiction fills in the gap which is really nice

One thing you don't like about fanfiction most of the stuff i don't like is less about actual fanfiction and more about how people behave about it

What is/are your favorite fandom author/authors? IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! TURN IT UP!!!

bnha: hiuythn, rae_tnub, Moniix, Ata_Lanta, wrunic, chezka, PurplePersnickety, surveycorpsejean, mahadevi, arxaris, deviance, Oceanbreeze7, MikeWritesThings, bonnia, wonhaebunny, dinosuns

voltron: hiuythn, Oceanbreeze7, DeerstalkerDeathFrisbee, arahir, dinosuns,

and honorable mention to loveclouds im not even in the haikyuu fandom i just love their fics So Much

these are just the ones off the top of my head i have so many favourites idc if i'm only supposed 2 have one!! die mad about it!!!

What is your favorite trope? secret relationship + relationship reveal til the day i die babie <3 <3

Least favorite trope? hm,,, probably just like. angst lmao i cannot stand 90% of it

A fanfiction cliché that you can't help but love? coffeeshop aus,,,, so good

Do you have a type when it comes to pairings? the otp where its like. piece of shit + himbo = love. ex. krbk, catradora, jade/beck

Favorite setting/au? hm,,, truly i cannot pick one KGKSJNHKj but i really like college aus!! and modern aus!! and roommate aus!!

Explain the meaning of your favorite line of dialogue you've written as if someone hasn't read it in context. “He doesn’t know,” Katsuki says, softly. “My timer stopped and nothing happened. He’s not mine.”

the line is from what we deserve!! it's a soulmate au where your timer counts down to the moment that you meet your soulmate!! bakugou's timer ends at USJ when he and kirishima attack kurogiri at the same time (impulsive kings <33) but kirishima's timer doesn't end until kamino because that's when he accepts himself as bakugous soulmate!! unfortunately, when bakugous timer has reached 0, he turned to see that kirishima's was still ticking and therefore believes that kirishima isn't his soulmate.

this line just,, idk. it's really sad. bakugou is such an action-driven character? if something doesn't go his way he Makes it go his way. he's got this insanely volatile quirk and he's got impeccable control of it!! but his love for kirishima isn't something that he can change and he's not going to ruin kirishima's chance of finding his own soulmate because he loves him and wants him to be happy. i really wanted to focus on how resigned he is? and how unusual that is for a character like him.

Favorite trope/genre to write? again, secret relationship with relationship reveals <33 fluff in general is my wheelhouse!!!

A trope/genre you haven't written but think would be a fun challenge? idk if this counts?? have been working on some dead dove concepts!! its super different from what i normally write so its a cool challenge

The one trope/concept you'll never touch and why probably cheating/infidelity?? it just looks,,, super difficult to write well and i don't have enough of an interest in it to try it out

Which do you prefer to write: longer or shorter fics? shorter!! low attention span gang <3

Ideal length to read? 5-10k?

Ideal length to write? 4-8k!!

How long was the longest fic you've ever written? control fraek is around 28k i think?

Have you ever written an AU? yeah!! i've done restaurant au's, soulmate au's, pro hero aus, and fantasy aus (general, not the bnha fantasy ending)

What's your favorite AU trope? hm,, probably when two people in authority are in a secret relationship? ceo's/uni professors/etc etc

Have you ever written smut? yeah!! was. difficult tho

What's your comfort genre? (the one you fall on most in writing/reading) fluff,,, hurt/comfort,,, fix-it fics with happy endings <3

If you were to start writing in other fandoms, which would they be? maybe jjk?? the characters are really cool!!!! fr i might go back to my ever after high roots i love the characters and setting so Much its so fun!!! idec if no ones into it anymore!!!!!

Is there a trope you think you could be easily recognized by in your writing? i've had people say they saw the mention of buff hagakure and recognized it was me so. probably that skdjhnksjd

WRITING STYLE

How would you describe your style? i tend to use shorter sentences and pretty simple words i think? and i gravitate towards lighthearted concepts that allow for ensemble casts and humour!!

Describe your style in three words romcom but fanfic

Favorite words to use when writing? the word reverent!! fuckin love including it!!

Dialogue tags or no dialogue tags? (she said, he said, they said, etc) dialogue tags!!!

Favorite dialogue tag (other than said, if you use them) again idk if this counts but "they said softly" is unmatched

Long sentences vs short vs a mix short <33

What colors would you use to describe your writing? hm,,, depends on the fic i would say?? control fraek is dark green to me?? kinda like a forest at night yk?? scary but there's still life there. sugar cookies is yellow like early morning sunlight, when it rains is yellowy-orange like a caution sign. not gonna list all of them cause theres a lot its just. do u get it? the colours change based on the vibe of the fic.

What song or music genre would you use to describe your writing? think. i am constantly trying to emulate that moment at the end of wasteland baby when hozier goes "im in love/im in love with you."

What kind of metaphors do you rely on? religious metaphors my beloved <33 they're just so pretty!!! i also love comparing stuff to water for some reason?? like that ocean vuong quote thats like "what are you now?/water." it goes hard!!!

What's something you'd say is experimental in your writing at this time? definitely action!! i have,,, no idea how to write it so anything i do is really just me playing around and seeing what works and what doesn't

Do you prefer to write by hand or to type? i've tried both!! personally i prefer typing because it goes way faster but i will say that writing by hand lets me get words down when i'm going through writer's block

What is your preferred place to write (notebook, laptop, cellphone, etc.)? laptop!!

What app/apps do you use to write (word, notepad, etc.)? google docs skjdnkjh its fine on desktop but mobile is,,,,, disgusting

Do you keep a notebook or file/notes page in your phone/device for notes on your writing? ngl i just have everything organized in my drive?? one folder per fandom and then sub folders for ideas+hcs, unfinished wips, and finished fics. multichaps get sub sub folders so i can organize outlines and drafts

Do you listen to music to help you write? yeah!! playlists organized by fic vibe :D

Where do you usually go to write (bedroom, living room, etc.)? mostly in my bedroom??? but moving around to different stops helps too i think!!

How long does it usually take for you to write? again this depends on what i have going on irl, how attached i am to the idea, my mindset at the time, etc!! i am,, the least consistent person skjnhdkjh.

What's your favorite font to use when writing? times new roman my beloved

Other writing habits? sometimes i'll write in the dark?? bad for my eyes but for some reason it gets the words flowing

CONCEPTUALIZATION

How do you conceptualize your ideas? (See specific moments like they're a movie, writing specific lines in your head, don't know until you put the words on paper, etc.) i tend to get inspiration from movies, books, poems, or other fics!!! sometimes one line just makes me go oh,, i want to write something like that,,, and then it helps me create an idea that makes me feel the same way?? i did this with control fraek!!!! i wanted a scenario where bakugou was cold and calculating and i was like hm. to do that he’d have to be focusing on something important. and from there i was able to flesh out the rest of the idea.

Which comes first: the pairing or the plot? with krbk its always always the pairing,, i'll be sitting there like wow <33 i love them <33 what if one of them had amnesia <33 (which, yes, wip!!) otherwise it's usually the plot!! and i slot in characters that i feel make sense

Have you ever used a prompt? yeah!! used a prompt for wlw week 2020 and it was fun as hell

Do you write around the story around a specific scene you want to get to or do you start from a plot idea definitely the first!!!! i almost always write like,,, a super messy scene thats 90% dialogue, keep it in my head, and then write the entire fic around that one moment

Do you find that you include a projection of some part of yourself in the way you write a character? a lot of the time when i write love confessions or love in general i'll have one of the characters think or say that the other person makes their head quiet? and it's because that's what i feel whenever i'm in love?? a quiet mind. i project on characters yeah but i think most of the projection actually goes to the way that i write love

Do you research some of the things you write deeply, partially and kind of wing the rest, or play entirely by ear (in this case, go with whatever base knowledge of the subject you have)? most of the time if i do research it'll be about the setting (ex. the izakaya in to have and to hold) or if i'm having the characters interact with an object that they like. need to know how to use (me, in control fraek: google. hey google. does someone die if they get shot in the foot??? no???? awesome thank u <3)

Have you ever had an idea for a story and forgot about it? lmaoo yeah all the time i'll find like 500-2k words of concepts in my gdocs like i do. not remember this at all

Is there a trope you think you could be easily recognized by in your writing? probably krbk secret relationship lmao

Are there concepts you've tried that turned out better than expected? yeah!! i fully thought the action in control fraek would be awful but it turned out not bad??? which im happy with

Are there concepts you've tried that turned out worse than you expected? again, what we deserve, i personally think it would have worked out better if i'd paced it slower and drawn out the pining but i. do not feel like going back to fix it so its staying the way that it is. pining is so fucking hard to do AHHHH i get so tired with it!!! im like just date already!!!!

PROCESS

How do you come up with titles? in rare occasions (literally. all my multichaps for some reason) the title comes after writing like .5 words of the first chapter im like YES this is it!!!!! sometimes i write the whole thing and pick out one line that fits (what i did with come home to me) a lot of the time i just. steal from songs or poems that i like

What's your favorite emotion to cause on your readers? i like making people happy!!!! love when people comment saying they're cheered up

What's your favorite emotion to write? lovelovelovelovelovelove

Have you ever cried or felt any emotion while reading something you've written? never cried?? but sometimes i'll rereading my hurt/comfort fics 4. yk. comfort

Do you write in order or whatever comes to you? in order!! unless i have a scene that i Need to write and i'll quickly jot it down so that i don't forget

Usual way you procrastinate while writing? ...doing asks like this, making playlists, discord, watching netflix. what don't i do smh

Do you outline or free write? i am. so shit at outlines. i mostly free write and write lil notes for stuff that i wanna add later

Do you set word goals or scene goals (scenes you want to include)? yes!! like i said i'll write loose notes for scenes that i want to add later!! it gives me something to write towards :D

What do you consider when writing your scenes? what goes into making the atmosphere and mood you want? to set a scene i do two things? the first is like,, the five senses bc that always sets the scene really well and makes it feel Real. i'll visualize stuff in my head like its a movie and write out what i would want to tell the set designer?? if the lights are low, if the space is busy, if it's supposed to exude comfort or not.

for putting forward the character's mood one thing i've found that makes a difference is sentence length!! long sentences are good for making a character seem flustered and nervous or not really in control of their emotions? good for love confessions. short sentences are good for when the character is focused on something or short on time. good for fights!!

What's something you never considered to include in your writing that you can't leave out now? def buff hagakure,,,, once i thought of it i was like. if i don't include this at least once in every single fic how could i look at myself in the mirror!!!!!! how could i face anyone!!!!

How do you start a story? establishing a fact about the character or describing the setting! option a is one single thread of gold, option b is between lion and men

How do you end a story? either by tying it back to the beginning or doing like a funny kind of closing??? option a is sugar cookies, option b is a godless society

How do you get out of writer's block? change something!! move something!! i go from typing to handwriting, moving from my bedroom to my living room, switching wips to work on something else!! i do sprints as well?? give myself like fifteen minutes to write something and sometimes 200 words opens up the way for another 2k. sometimes i'll just delete like 500 words and start fresh

Do you edit? or do you toss your writing out there? i edit!!! i'll go over it myself then send it to one or two betas (bee my beloved <33)

How do you edit? do you use spellcheck, grammar checkers, etc? bee is my grammar checker bc he is So Good with grammar. i use grammarly as well for spellcheck stuff mostly?? sometimes my edit process is just like "am i tired of looking at this!! yes <3" and then i post it

PROGRESS

Do you usually like what you write? yeah!!! i post stuff that makes me happy and that i'm fine with rereading!!! i write stuff for self-indulgence reasons first and foremost and i think my writing reflects that sjhnksj

Have you ever written something you didn't like but posted anyways? nope!! even what we deserve i LIKED even if i see a lot of room 4 improvement!! if i don't like smth it's not getting posted

Do you find yourself rereading your writing often? yeah!! the reason i wrote so much krbk secret relationship is because i loved it but i'd read all that there was so i just,, wrote more,, ngl its kinda nice being in a place where i actually like my writing bc i can write stuff that i want to see and really enjoy it!!

Can you tell us anything about your current WIP? sure!! i'm currently working on when it rains which is a fic where bakugou gets hit by a crying quirk!! i'm gonna be using it to explore So Much of all might's character and his relationships with bakugou and aizawa (and i think some people from his past!!)

Can you give us a sneak peek on your current WIP? “You did something. What the hell did you do?” Kirishima sounds pissed off. It would amuse Katsuki if he wasn’t fighting just to stay standing.

“Nothing he didn’t ask for,” Shinsou replies.

“K’ri… shima,” Katsuki croaks out. “‘S fine. Not him.”

His chest collapses back into the familiar dry heaving after that but Kirishima shuts up. He doesn’t apologize to Shinsou.

Kirishima’s a good friend, stubborn and loyal. He stands by Katsuki’s side like an attack dog, blocking him from the view of anyone ogling at his tears.

The last line you've written Ochako knows more than she'd realized. She knows enough to keep her guard up.

It’s not enough.

Open a wip. what’s the first line?

Katsuki wakes up feeling like absolute fucking shit.

INSIGHT

What's your favorite thing about writing? touched on this before but it's mainly just being able to write the things that i want to see and actually enjoy them!!! actually reread them!!!! i thought "wouldn't it be cool if bkg and kirishima owned a restaurant together" and then i wrote it and i like it enough to reread it!!!! being able to create content for myself makes me. so happy

How do you keep yourself inspired? this is gonna sound narcissistic maybe but honestly i'm just really excited about my ideas and where i'm gonna take them and the idea of "i'm gonna get to That scene" keeps me going through the entire thing. also my friends!!!! i'll talk to them about fics and their reactions keep me hyped up enough to finish!!!!

What is your favorite thing to write? just,, slice of life romance,,, stuff thats silly and makes people laugh!!

What do you think your strengths are in writing? i'm good with dialogue!! i do lil voice acting sessions with myself to make sure everything sounds natural and like it's coming from that character skhjnskj

i'm comfortable with my portrayal of love as well??? i spend a lot of time thinking about what it is exactly that i'm trying to get across and i think it turns out well!!

What are things you wish you could practice more? on one hand i wanna get better at writing angst on the other hand i dislike writing angst. do you see my issue

One way you've improved your writing since you began? characterization!! i think i've gotten better at writing characters that are all Different and bring different things to the table!!! i used to project a lot more and it would compromise the characterization because the character was like 70% me and 30% them? not to say that projection is bad but if you do it too much it just,, doesn't read like the character and from a reader's standpoint the narrative can become less compelling

One aspect of writing you're still working on? writing action!!! i. literally hate writing it but i write for a fandom about superheroes so. Unfortunately i gotta learn.

A piece of writing advice you've learned while writing saw this on another tumblr post but they said sometimes if you're struggling with a scene, the problem is five lines back. i've found that to be true!!!! sometimes u gotta delete a chunk and start a little ways back!! i did this with too busy being yours because i was stuck for Weeks and i deleted like 25% of what i had but it helped me actually finish it :D

A bit of writing advice you can't stand when people shit on show don't tell for being overrated lmao bc when u read their writing you can Tell

Something you wish you knew when you first started writing? ,,,,honestly i kind of wish i could know some of the stuff that i used to when i first started writing?? technically i'm better now but creatively i was must better when i wasn't stressing about whether anyone would like what i was writing. so i guess i wish i knew that i should keep that confidence? i kinda wish that i wasn't as insecure about other people's writing styles because i never used to be!!

Something you've learned in life that you apply in writing there's no point in feeling inferior?? writing one genre isn't better than the other. being in one fandom isn't better than being in another. the kind of language you use or the length of your paragraphs- none of that stuff like. matters. what matters is that you're having fun and happy with what you're creating!!!! enjoy other peoples writing but don't let it make you feel worse about yours :D

#AHH ive wanted to answer these for so long...... bro fr i was so happy when u sent these!!! like wow!! finally got sent one!!!#sorry for how long the responses are idk how to be concise #asks #anon #a(lore)a

I was tagged by @thisbluespirit.

Self rec time! Rec one of your fluff fics, one of your angst, one multichaptered, one AU, and send this to your favourite writers.

Fluff: New Age Woo 2797 words, Jim/Blair I wrote this for elaine as a present. In Sentinel fandom it’s canon that Blair has new age interests and beliefs, a common enough thing in the nineties when the show was made. It enabled the pun in the title, which I enjoy if no-one else does. Crystals and candles feature as Jim and Blair figure a few things out.

Angst: How Strange the Change 3114 words, Klaus/Taki. At some point, if I’m in a fandom I love long enough, there will be a death story and Maiden Rose is a canon that lends itself to tragic endings. Many years after the war, a weary, much older Klaus hopes for a visitor.

Multi-Chaptered: Family Business 72,400 words, Jim/Blair. Yeah, there’s a reason this sucker is chaptered. I even managed to write a decent summary for this one: Jim Ellison is dead. His body was recovered from his home. Simon Banks gave the eulogy. Blair helped carry the coffin out of the church.But Jim is actually alive, and Blair is going to find out what's going on if it kills him. (It might.) Jim has his own troubles, and he wants Blair safe and sound. If he needs to be cruel to ensure that? Jim will do whatever gets the job done.

AU: Walking the Maze 29,000 words, Jim/Blair but also Jim/Alex Barnes and also Jim/Blair/Alex for one scene. I have written a lot of AUs - vampires, urban fantasy, high fantasy, historical, space, sentinels and guides are known, but this canon-divergent AU is a personal favourite. I take a weird and divisive moment in the show, and make it potentially ...more weird and divisive? What if the visionary and sexual connection that we see in Sentinel Too Part 2 kicked in while Jim and Alex were still in Cascade.

Sorry, ThisBlueSpirit, that I didn’t mention any of my Sapphire and Steel stuff here. And also sorry that I always seem to be end of tag chains.

From the Shadows (A Stenbrough Hogwarts!AU)

Chapter I: The Wolf's Not Dead

Pairings: Bill Denbrough/Stan Uris, Richie Tozier/Eddie Kaspbrak

Fic Summary: Bill can’t shake the feeling that Stan Uris is hiding something. However, the closer he gets to Stan the faster their world crumbles and as more is unravelled he comes to learn that the darkness doesn’t only live in Stan’s eyes, but in the shadows themselves.

Seventh year had creeped up on them so quickly that Bill could hardly believe it. Only yesterday was he a gangly twelve year old at King’s Cross Station being bid farewell by his mother; a child completely made up of anxiety, doubt, and confusion. But everything had worked itself out. He wasn’t that same kid anymore, his life had completely changed, from the worst to maybe the best it had ever been.

From being lanky and awkward, he had become incredibly tall and his shoulders had spanned out strong and wide against his somewhat narrow waist, his hair was short but not incredibly so, maybe a little past his ears. He always wore rings on his fingers and his ears were pierced, one at the bottom and two at the top, just like Richie’s. It was his idea after all. Late at night, after everyone else had gone to sleep during break they both sneaked out, black hoodies over their heads and sneakers stepping silently on the pavement as they dashed off towards Bill’s car; a birthday present from his mom. It hurt like a bitch for Ritchie while Bill’s was almost completely painless. Afterwards they just stayed in Bill’s car, the radio playing softly in the background as they stared up at the stars through the sunroof, the blanket Bill brought strown over both of them.

Back then it was only the two of them, then Eddie came along and god was Richie completely smitten with him. It was like love at first sight. Sure, they had known of each other since they were younger, but never had they actually met and once they shared a class and became partners for a project it was over. Seeing the two of them together was surreal at first, with Richie being six feet and Eddie staying at a consistent height of five foot eight for the last three years. Richie teased him for it and in Eddie’s eyes he could see murderous intent behind them every time it was remotely brought up. However, Bill and him got along surprisingly well. They had become like brothers to each other in the short amount of time they had known one another. When Eddie had problems he always came to him, especially when it involved Richie. He was almost like the lifeline between them, always leveling the playing field when one of them fucked up.

Eddie wasn’t the only change though. Ever since fifth year all three of them had been made into prefects; and along the way more people were added to their little family. Mike, Beverly and Ben were all cool people and they had molded to each other as if they had known each other their whole lives. There wasn’t a moment where they weren’t together one way or another. Usually it was Richie and Eddie together, but ever since they joined Bill didn’t feel as alone anymore. They were always there for each other, even when one wasn’t available there was always another to pick you up. They were his family away from home and he was so grateful for them.

Being in different houses however always sucked, as most nights they had to coordinate with each other on which common room to sleep over at for the night. Usually it was Gryffindor tower as both Beverly and Bill belonged there and it was always the most welcoming of the three, besides Hufflepuff. Everyone knew them there anyway and treated them as one of their own, even Richie. For someone who constantly partied and and barely did anything to study most of the time, Bill was surprised he wasn’t a Gryffindor. For Richie it was all about connecting with people and having a good time, he always stood up for the little guy even if it made him a public enemy. But when he spoke and actually put in thought to his incoherent ramblings and jokes he could see exactly why he was a Ravenclaw. Richie was nothing short of genius and passed all his classes effortlessly, and even helped them on the side whenever they asked. Mike was more reserved however, for him it wasn’t as easy but he was just as good as Richie, even if he actually had to study for it. All in all they were a well rounded group.

Eddie and Beverly were usually the ones who planned things but ever since Beverly was made head girl, there wasn’t a lot time for them to hang out, and consequently Eddie and Mike were now the ones in charge. Saturdays they were supposed to meet in the morning for breakfast, and hang out for the rest of the day wherever they planned and already he was late. He stayed up all night doing homework and when he woke up it was already ten am; one hour late. He’d be surprised if they were all there waiting for him still.

Slipping on his t-shirt and his bomber jacket he ran down the stairs, his hair whipping behind him as he dashed by the first years. The stairs were going to change soon and he needed to get there before they switched and he had to wait another five minutes. Breakfast was over in an hour and he didn’t have time to spare.

With a buzz he heard another text message come in.

My Favorite Boy: “Dude, where are you? Bev keeps bitching about family bonding time being wasted.”

Big Bill: “Sorry. Woke up late. I’m almost there.”

My Favorite Boy: “She’s scary when she’s angry… Don’t tell her that, though. She’d kill me.”

Big Bill: “Probably. I’m right here in the hall anyway, three more minutes. I promis—” With a clang, his phone went flying out of his hands as he bumped into someone.

His cheeks burned up as he looked down and saw none other than Stanley Uris. Tan skin, caramel curls, with a nose piercing, and a leather jacket. Every person’s fantasy at Hogwarts, and he had just managed to not only bump into him but also send his book flying halfway across the floor.

Stan wasn’t just any student. He was the head boy, and the proud leader of Slytherin. However not by his choosing; people naturally just looked up to him. He mostly kept to himself and was close to no one, but his grades and his ability to always win made him a strong candidate for head boy, and just this year, when it was announced, it surprised absolutely no one. Except maybe Richie who thought he was sure fire to get the spot, but ultimately lost to “the hot pureblood asshole”. Bill couldn’t agree more with the title. Stan was hot no doubt, but his uptight nature and the way he held himself made everyone believe that there really wasn’t anyone who could ever measure up to him; and he let it be known every time he picked up his latest conquest just to dump her a couple of weeks later. Stan wasn’t one for monogamy, at least not long term, and every girl who had ever been with him ended up heartbroken. It didn’t stop Bill, or anyone else from looking though.

Stan merely looked up at him, his eyebrow arched condescendingly and his lips pulled into a slight frown.

“I-I-I’m so-orry. I w-wasn’t paying attention and did-dn’t see y-ou.” Bill said embarrassed, his cheeks getting redder when Stan merely stared at him strangely.

The silence stretched between them awkwardly before Stan crouched down and picked up Bill’s phone, while he scrambled to pick up his book on the other side. Bill was surprised when he found birds on the cover, as Stan didn’t seem one for pleasantries or cute animals.

“I-I’m sorry again. I really didn’t mean to b-bump into you.”

“I know. It’s fine, now if I could get my book back that’d be great.” Stan said courtly, his head held high and his eyes cold.

His every movement was calculated and controlled while his tone never strayed far from slight annoyance and complete apathy.

Bill had never met such an intimidating person before.

“Ye-eah, sorry. Here you go. Sorry for that.” Stan rolled his eyes before retrieving his book, the look he gave him almost making Bill want to crawl into a hole and die of embarrassment.

“You know, you apologize too much.” Stan said.

He gripped the book to his chest before giving Bill’s phone back, his cold fingers pressing slightly into his palm as he placed it there. A jolt of electricity ran down his spine at the touch and from being in such close proximity to this god of a man. Bill could only stare awestruck as he watched Stan fix his fringe exasperatedly before walking past him, their shoulders brushing against each other and making him stumble slightly on his feet. Looking back he briefly saw Stan stare back at him with a slight smirk to his lips, and Bill quickly looked away, his face burning up at the thought.

Stan was weird…but not his kind of weird. Everybody knew that. He was the Casanova of the school. The straight, perfect elite who mostly looked out for himself and kept his eyes on the prize. Not part of a misfit group of teenagers that had movie marathons almost every weekend and were constantly messing around making fool’s out of themselves in public. That statement mostly referenced Richie of course.

He snapped out of it and made his way to the great Hall.

When he got there almost everyone had finished their food, except maybe Eddie who had just gotten his.

“Finally, Billy! Where have you been?” Beverly exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as soon as she saw him.

“I w-woke up late. Sorry guys.”

“Took you long enough. I was starting to miss you more than Eddie’s mom.”

“Do you ever shut up. I swear to God.” Eddie grimaced, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“No, and neither did your Mom last night, babe.”

Eddie’s face contorted into disgust just as Richie and Mike burst into laughter. It wasn’t only Richie who found the childish jokes funny, as Mike always chimed in with his own, usually aimed at Beverly or Richie’s own parents. Though his were always a bit more mild.

“Keep it up trash mouth and pretty soon I’m going to start dating Bill. He actually knows how to treat a guy.” Eddie said smugly, spooning his porridge.

“I knew it! You’ve wanted to fuck Bill this whole time! If I’m honest, I’ve always wondered what he looked like down there…”

“Ew, Richie.” Beverly scrunched up her face.

“O-okay, I know everyone’s interested, but enough about m-my genitals. What are we doing?”

“The plan was to have a horror movie marathon. It’s October, we might as well make the most of it.” Ben chimed in, “We could also make Halloween arts and crafts.”

“Arts and crafts? What are we? Twelve?”

“Don’t be rude, Richie. I actually think that sounds fun.” Eddie smiled at Ben across the table. His enthusiasm at the thought was apparent.

“So, it’s settled. Movies later on and then arts and crafts. What about now though? We could go down to the quad and hang out for a while. Some of the students are putting on a short play, apparently Hocus Pocus is the theme this year. It could be fun.” Mike said softly, wrapping his arm around Beverly.

“Yeah, I-I’m down.” Bill said, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone.

“Hell yeah. Nothing like watching Hocus Pocus while Eddie hocus’ my pocus, am I right, guys?” Richie brought his hand up but it was ultimately shoved away by Bill, a faintly annoyed expression on his face.

“That doesn’t even make sense, Richard.”

“What did I say about the full name thing, Edward?”

“Don’t say stupid shit and maybe I won’t have to use it.” Eddie shrugged, a faint smile on his face.

On a day like this nothing beat being outside and enjoying the sun. Even if he didn’t want to, the group always found a way to drag him outside, one time they dragged him out by texting him that Ben bought nachos for everyone and that if he didn’t get there in five minutes Mike would eat them. It was the group’s inside joke that Bill was the vampire of the group, always staying indoors and studying, and when he wasn’t studying he was helping out first years or writing. For Bill, being busy and helping others was part of his job and he felt it was his duty to do what was expected of him to his best ability. Not only that but apart from all the other Losers he was mostly a recluse. Everyone knew him but he didn’t go out of his way like Beverly or Richie to make himself known so intimately. Richie would joke with anyone, and in a crowd or group everyone would flock around him, laughing and talking like old friends. Even Ben was more socially adept than him seeing as he had a bunch of acquaintances all over the school, but Ben was such a sweet guy that it wasn’t even surprising. Bill wasn’t funny, or outgoing, or super smart, he wasn’t even charming, he just stuttered a lot and was mediocre at partly everything. The only person who he could almost relate to was Eddie, and even he was good at bossing people around and getting what he wanted. So even that was a far stretch.

Walking with the basket in his hand, Eddie and Beverly wasted no time setting up the multiple plush quilts and pillows on the ground before they all took their respective seats. Like always Eddie and Richie were inseparable, while Beverly sat with Ben and Mike took his seat with Bill. As the students set up the play they all laid down, their hands linked with one another on the quilts. Beverly’s were always cold, while Mike’s were warm. It always made him a great cuddler in his opinion.

“You know, I always forget how much I miss you guys throughout the week. We barely see each other unless it’s at lunch or in class. I miss hanging out all the time and doing stupid stuff.” Beverly said sadly. Bill could feel her grip tighten on his hand. “It feels like we’re growing up too fast… I don’t want it to end. I don’t want to say goodbye to all of this.”

Richie sat up, his hair slightly sticking up at the back, and his sweater wrinkled.

“Woah, okay, where is this coming from, Bev? We see each other all the time. You and Bill literally live in the same tower. Me and Ben still do the whole newspaper thing, and Mike and Eddie are always hanging out a-and doing whatever the hell they do! We’re not going anywhere.”

“Yeah, but when was the last time we sat down for more than two minutes without mentioning something about the future or how much pressure all our classes are on us right now? The year’s only just begun, but it’ll be over before we can even catch our breath. We’ll have to be adults and get jobs and move away… We’ll forget about each other.” Beverly sat up too and the rest of the Losers did the same. Everyone not only looked concerned but saddened at the thought of forgetting and moving on without one another. They were each other’s life, and the thought that they wouldn’t be a part of one another’s lives was an atrocity neither of them wanted to think of.

“Beverly, none of us will forget. You’re like my sister—you are my sister! You’re as much part of my life as Richie is or any of the others. We’ll always be together.” Eddie smiled at her while placing his hand on her shoulder and bringing her closer into a hug. The rest did the same and piled gently on top of her, a warm sigh escaping each one of them as they squeezed just a bit tighter. Maybe enough that what Beverly said wouldn’t happen.

“Guys, as sweet as this is, I can’t breathe.” Beverly said between laughter and slowly each one of them detached from one another, a smile on each of their faces.

“Eddie’s right. We’ll always have each other, even when we’re old and withered. We’ll probably die next to each other, and get buried next to each other too.” Richie said fondly, wrapping his arms around Eddie and kissing the top of his head.

Just as he said that, the stage lit up and all of them got into their respective positions. Eddie lay his head on Richie’s lap while Beverly cuddled up next to Ben under his arm, Mike and him just resorted to propping up pillows under both of their heads and sharing a blanket.

“Emily? Emily?!”

“Emily? Elijah! Elijah, has thou seen my sister, Emily?

“Nay, but look. They conjure.”

“Oh God, the woods! Emily!”

“She’s done for.”

“Not yet! You wake my father! Summon the others! Go!!” a boy that Bill could faintly remember as Vincent ran off the stage and off to the background where the scenery changed to woods. It seemed this year’s club had done a great job.

As the play progressed he could see Eddie get more and more sleepy, and when he got like that he resorted to aggressively cuddling Richie. It started with his head on Richie’s lap, then his hands tangled in Richie’s sweater, then he would lay on his stomach and wrap his hands around Richie’s waist just to pull him down and lay on his chest. It was sweet but also incredibly scary seeing how much power Eddie had over Richie. He basically melted in Eddie’s hands.

However, throughout the play Bill felt the itching sensation that someone was watching him. It started off soft but eventually got painstakingly difficult to pretend like the feeling was just a coincidence.

Slowly he scooted closer to Mike and got his attention.

“For the past hour I’ve felt like s-someone is watching me, and I know it sounds stupid but I can’t shake it off.”

Mike’s eyebrows scrunched up before he started looking around, immediately his face relaxed and he nudged Bill with his shoulder.

“Be discreet, but I think I know who it is.” Bill’s head immediately snapped to the left and from the corner of his eyes he could see Mike sigh and rub his temples. “I said be discreet, jesus christ.”

But it didn’t matter. Bill had a good look of who just it was. It was only a glance but the same caramel curls as before were easily recognizable. Stan sat atop one of the tree branches, sketching along in his notebook while below Florence and Jesse, two other Slytherins, sat talking to one another. They were all in quidditch and sometimes Bill did see them together, but mostly Stan was alone. The strange part was that Stan wasn’t involved in the conversation at all, he was completely focused on the notebook in front of him. It was the same notebook with the birds as before. Bill stared mesmerized, and as he did so Stan looked up, their eyes catching and staying on each other for a while before Stan ultimately looked back down again. Again he saw the same small smirk that he did in the hallway, and he could barely keep himself from smiling at the thought of Stan Uris purposely seeking him out, even if it was just a fantasy.

Back in the dormitories, they were preparing to snuggle up in the lounge in Gryffindor tower. A couple of other students were there but ultimately scattered as the group lay their things on the ground. So far, they had chosen Friday the thirteenth, Halloween, and the Exorcist, all old movies but good nonetheless. As much as Richie tried to hide it, most of the group knew how much he hated horror movies and how easily he got scared. But he always cuddled between Bill and Eddie, Bill’s chest to his back and Eddie on his back, his arm next to Richie’s chest.

It had rained outside, and they were soaking wet. Richie’s long hair was plastered to his face and neck and his glasses were all fogged over. Eddie wasn’t far behind to step through the door, his fringe covering his face. All of them took off their jackets at his request and held them up in front of them, Eddie making a complicated wave and reciting a small charm to produce hot steam from his wand to dry all their jackets and sweaters. As those dried, Beverly and Mike took care of the rest, drying the Losers and then themselves. The school, which had previously been strictly magical, had slowly incorporated things of the muggle world into most of the castle. TVs had been installed, wifi, communication towers, computers and a PA system. Life at Hogwarts had become incredibly modern. Most purebloods had been confused at first at all the technology but eventually everyone warmed up to the idea. Cell phones had become a big thing here as had computers and all new matters of communication. Bill imagined that all office jobs had become ten times easier as soon as the computers were introduced to archive all the information.

“Okay, now that we’re all dry which one are we watching first?” Ben asked as he rummaged through his bag to find them.

Richie made a face, his hands tangled in Eddie’s hair.

“How about none of them?” He said assertively, “You guys forget I have to sleep alone. I’m not watching some creepy girl fuck herself with a crucifix a second time.”

“Wait, what? Which movie is that, because I’m not watching it.” Mike scrunched up his face in disgust.

“The Exorcist, dude. I watched it when I was twelve and it fucked me up,” Richie said. “I say we watch Halloweentown, it’s a classic and it’s family friendly!

“I second that! The Exorcist and Halloween are kind of boring.” Eddie spoke up from his nest in Richie’s arms. He almost disappeared in between the blankets and his curls.

“Too late, I already brought these. We have to watch them.” Ben pouted in his seat.

“Ben, there’s Netflix and we can always watch them online. Creepy, death girls are out and fun, spooky Halloween times are in!” Richie brought out his arms dramatically, a big smile on his face, while in his seat Ben looked disappointed.

Bill looked at Beverly, motioning her to say something.

“We’ll watch Friday the 13th, then Halloweentown and we’ll finish it off with Underwraps, okay? Does that sound good?” Beverly looked around the room, waiting for the approval of the whole group before she went upstairs to get her laptop. Bill watched her go up the stairs, a quiet exasperation in her steps.

Even now, he couldn’t shake off Stan Uris from the back of his mind. Bill had only ever spoken to him a handful of times, and it was years ago when they shared the same classes. Now he was lucky enough to have seen him once. He knew Richie shared a class with him, Alchemy he believed. He was always talking about how prudish Stan was.

“Always so superior,” Richie would say, “He thinks he knows everything. Mister ‘I get perfect grades and I have a mansion and lots of money’. Oh, I’m hot and I know it. Look at me swish my perfect hair while simultaneously making you feel like shit over not being as good as me. Being middle class and mediocre? Never heard of it, I’m too busy being the crown prince of Hogwarts. Being perfect isn’t easy you know? Ugh, don’t touch me, you’ll get my robes dirty with your commoner germs!”

He remembers Eddie rolling his eyes as the walked through the halls on their way to dinner, “Don’t you live in a mansion? You’re a pureblood just like him, and you get perfect grades. Are you sure you aren’t the same person?”

“Mansion’s a misconception. I live in a larger than average house, but it’s not a mansion. We have house elves, sure, but I guarantee you we probably treat them better than Uris does. I actually pity them. Poor elves have to be stuck with that asshole.” Richie huffed, his brows scrunched and his voice getting slightly louder. “I don’t flaunt my superiority to anyone. I make good grades, but it’s not that big a deal. You should see the way he looks at everyone, Eds, as if they’re beneath him. But that doesn’t even matter because all the teachers love him! I’d rather be compared to a slug than him.” He pushed his glasses up, and smirked.

Both him and Eddie looked at each other and shook their heads. Richie was adamant when it came to grudges. When he hated someone, he went all the way, and didn’t waste any opportunity to bash the other person. If he thought they deserved it, he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied.

He always thought that Richie was exaggerating and was just jealous, but seeing Stan for the first time all those years ago, proved everything to be true. Stan was as equally proud as he was commandeering and beautiful. He looked even better than Richie had described him. His skin was perfect and his hair was always lustrous, tamed but full of life at the same time. But Bill’s favorite part of Stan were his eyes, even past the cold, emotionless glare he could see a soft kindness when he worked with magical creatures of any sort, or when he saw him helping the first years. Stan was actually kind. Except when he wasn't… more often than not Stan barely smiled anymore, and he was even more cold, with his snide remarks biting harder into anyone’s ego and tearing it apart. He was even more quiet in class, refusing or blatantly ignoring his partner when they were forced to pair up and keeping more to himself outside of class. Richie sometimes said he wouldn’t show up to class for days at a time. It was out character, even weirder was how the teachers never mentioned anything. It was like he was a ghost.

Everybody knew Stan was a scholar; not only was he illustrious but he also showed what an exceptional student looked like. Stan was a lot of things… but a slacker was not one of them. It was strange. Richie would joke that he was a death eater, stating that because he was a Slytherin he was probably following in the steps of his ancestors. That he would become the Draco Malfoy of the school and that he’d help bring back Voldemort just as people had done in the past. It was one of the most horrible things Richie had ever said, and none of the Losers found it funny. There were still people with the scars of the war past. So many people had died and so many more were still suffering, to insinuate that Stan wanted a part in any of that and wanted to bring back a fascist mass murderer was insulting and incredibly cruel. There had to be another reason he was constantly going missing.

Just as his brain was starting to get consumed by Stan, Beverly descended down the stairs, her laptop in her arms. They didn’t waste any time taking out the snacks and art supplies and placing them all across the table. While the movie played, Richie stuffed his face with smores as he painted his paper plate. He chose to paint a werewolf, its claws long and jagged and its eyes bright yellow. It was a horrible painting but Ben insisted that it looked great compared to his mummy. Mike painted a skeleton, Eddie a ghost, Beverly a witch with a black cat and Bill decided he wanted to paint a vampire, and if it had curly hair and the same dark eyes as someone he knew then it was merely a coincidence.

As the night dwindled down and more of the students went to sleep, the Losers found themselves tired as well. Ben was already asleep against Eddie and Mike, while Beverly lay back to back with Richie, who held Eddie in his arms. But Bill couldn’t sleep. His eyes were tired but his brain was wide awake.

He moved to a seat by the window, his sketchbook in his hands. He started off drawing his friends in front of him, their sleeping figures brought to life in his book, with stars surrounding them. He sketched the peaceful look on their faces, their hair strewn across the pillows and the gentleness in which they held each other. Then he drew them again as Halloween monsters. The same ones they had chosen for their paper plates. Werewolf Richie with a Hawaiian shirt and his glasses and Mike’s skeleton with his quidditch uniform, while Eddie’s ghost held an ice cream as he levitated of the ground, Beverly flying off on her broom as she held her stereotypical witch hat and and the black cat sitting on the broom behind her, and Ben as a mummy as he carved pumpkins. Bill couldn’t help but draw Uris as well. He drew him like he remembered him, atop the tree with his head buried inside the book, a thoughtful smile to his face and flowers in his hair. He drew him happy, like he thought everyone deserved to be. He drew his face over and over, he drew him with tattoos and with a hippogriff, he drew him until his hand ached. Even though he didn’t know Stan at all, he wanted to. He wanted to be friends and have him be friends with the Losers instead of always being alone. He wondered if he would’ve felt the same if Stan wasn’t attractive, or if there wasn’t such an air of mystery surrounding him. The guilty part of him said yes but Bill knew he wasn’t as shallow as to think that. He knew there was something about Stan that just reeled him in. He had this effect on everyone, where when you saw him you instantly wanted to know more, you wanted to see into his world and be where he was. If Bill didn’t know better he’d say that Stan was the male equivalent of a veela. An enigma no one could figure out and as such, everyone was sucked into the mystery, and lost in the boy himself.

Bill caressed the small spot where Stan’s cheek was, his dark eyes staring back at him when his eyes caught something. Out in the fields there was someone running into the woods. Their cloak shielded their frame and the hood was pulled over their head, making it hard to see who exactly it could be. Bill instantly got up and rushed up to his room and put on his cloak before running back down the stairs and out the door. A student sneaking off in the middle of the night to the Forbidden Forest? Not only was it suspicious but it was dangerous as well. Even though Aragog had died and all the other Acromantulas had been driven out of their nest back in the battle of Hogwarts in 1998, there were other creatures there. It wasn’t safe, and he couldn’t think of one good reason why anyone would want to go there of it wasn’t to stir up trouble.

He ran through the halls, being careful to hide every once in awhile to stay hidden from the cameras. He thought of casting a disillusionment charm, but ultimately decided against it. It would be quick, he’d get the student then escort them back to their dorm and go to sleep. He raced down the remainder of the stairs and dashed out the archway that led to the forest.

The person couldn’t have gotten far.

As he entered the forest he kept his wand at the ready. His breaths were quick and shallow, and became easily visible against the cold October air. The farther he walked into the forest the more his anxiety grew. He didn’t know what or who he’d find and wandering aimlessly with no clear direction on what he was supposed to be looking for only made the fear stronger. Not to mention the trouble he’d get into if he was caught. He was starting to rethink his chivalrous act for one of stupidity.

He ducked through branches, and vines until he came about a clearing. Upon seeing the cloaked figure, he quickly hid behind one of the trunks. It seemed they were petting something but Bill couldn’t see what. Their hands glided through the air before bringing out a piece of meat for the air to eat, in an instant it was gone and from the trees he could hear the faint smack of teeth. He stared perplexed as the figure stroked the air some more and quietly spoke to it, though he couldn’t make out any of the words. It had to be a Thestral. But the chances of a student being able to see one was incredibly rare.

Inching a bit closer he tried to get a good look at the person but as he stepped forward a dead branch underneath his foot crunched loudly, alerting everyone to his presence. Immediately he heard a monstrous shriek and looked up only to see the cloaked figure run further into the woods. Bill wasted no time running after them as they zipped through the trees and jumped over the large roots. Keeping up with them was almost futile and as they rounded a corner and came upon another clearing Bill lost track of them completely.

“Lumos.” He huffed exasperatedly before he waved his wand, the light from the tip highlighting the surrounding area. He turned in his spot, directing the wand in opposite directions to see past the clearing and into the trees, but saw no one. Turning off the light he momentarily saw a shadow, it seemed that the person had been smart enough to use an disillusionment charm and as Bill rounded up to turn around and face them and pull them towards him the person yelled out from the trees.

“Expelliarmus!” His wand went flying and from the trees he saw the figure approach him. They held their wand out aggressively and as they stalked towards him Bill felt the fear in his chest spread, dreading that at any moment the very fear itself would cause his heart to burst in his chest and explode onto the person in front of him. With shaky breaths he watched the cloaked figure dig their wand against his throat before they spoke out.

“Why are you following me?” Bill stared perplexed into the dark face, he had heard that voice before.

“I s-saw you th-throu-ough the window. I-I wa-anted to make s-s-sure you were safe. Y-you shouldn’t be o-out h-here.” Bill stuttered, his throat struggling to speak against the piece of wood pressed against his skin.

The figure relaxed slightly and without haste Bill summoned the wand to him and whipped his wand in the air, effectively creating a small gust of wind that removed the hood from the cloaked figure. Standing in front of him was Stan Uris, his eyes pierced into Bill’s and a small look of surprise adorned his face along with anger. As he stared into his eyes he pushed the wand deeper.

“We just keep bumping into each other, don’t we, William? As much as I enjoy your company,” Stan said sarcastically, a quiet desperation in his eyes, “I’d prefer it if you’d leave. It isn’t safe for you here.”

“If it’s s-so dangerous, then what are you doing h-here? Bill gulped against the wand.

“That’s not something you need to know.” Stan said coldly. In the darkness he could see that Stan’s under eyes were a light, almost clear purple. It wasn’t hard to assume that he had probably been awake all night.

“Actually, I-I do. If Headmaster McGonagall knew you were out here…” Stan rolled his eyes.

“Unlike you, I have clearance to be out here—”

“W-why? Because y-you’re Head Boy and you s-simultaneously run the school a-along with everyone e-else?” Bill looked down at Stan, his mouth pulled into a slight frown. In return Stan’s eyebrows scrunched up in anger and his jaw clenched.

“No, not because I’m Head Boy.” Stan narrowed his eyes before stepping closer. Bill could practically feel his breath on his lips and as he looked down at him he wished that Stan was just a bit closer, just close enough to where he could feel the sensation of Stan’s lips on his own. He was as equally entranced as frightened by the proximity of Stan to him. “There are things you don’t understand.” Stan swallowed before he continued, fear behind his eyes and a fury Bill had never seen before in anyone. “There are things out there that want to hurt us, and Hogwarts isn’t safe. Not anymore.” He looked away as he said that and just as quickly as he did he pulled the wand away from Bill’s throat and stepped away. Bill rubbed at his throat as Stan put his wand away inside the pocket of his robes.

In an instant Stan had pulled the robe’s hood above his head again.

“Come. I’ll walk you back. I don’t want you getting lost and becoming another one of my problems.” Stan huffed as he proceeded to walk past Bill and out of the clearing.

They walked in silence and as they approached Gryffindor tower Bill felt a small sense of sadness. He would probably never speak to to Stan again and he would never be this close to him. He had to make the most of it, he couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.

“Here you are. I’m sure you know how to make your way up to your dorm.” Stan smirked, the same look in his eyes from before. Bill merely nodded. “Well, good night, William.” Stan said courtly. Bill watched him begin to walk away, the panic in his chest drumming loudly in his ears as he fought the desire to run after him. Bill watched him descend the stone steps before ultimately throwing caution out the window and running after him. Just as he had gotten halfway, Bill reached out desperately and grabbed on to Stan’s robes, tugging at his sleeve and sending him slightly backwards. Stan looked up confused and Bill could only stare at him as he struggled to come up with something to say.

When he came out tongue tied, Stan merely stared at him before arching his brows.

“I-I want to be f-friends.” Bill said hurriedly, his eyes searching Stan’s under the candlelight. “Y-you could hang out w-with us Losers. You don’t have to be alone.”

Stan stayed in place, looking up at Bill suspiciously.

“Who said I was alone?” he asked flatly.

“I-I just assumed—” Bill stopped mid sentence, afraid that he had offended him.

Stan examined his face intently before sighing.

“Okay.” Stan whispered in a gentleness Bill had never heard before.

“What?”

“I said okay. I accept your offer. Now let go of me. It’s late and I’d rather get some sleep than just stand here all night.” Stan said annoyed as he yanked his arm softly out of Bill’s grip.

Bill couldn’t help but smile to himself as he watched Stan turn from him and go down the stairs. In excitement he called out to him, “Good night!”

Stan merely raised his hand in response, his back to him as he waved goodbye. Bill waited until he disappeared around the corner before he went back inside. He couldn’t help but feel a rush of happiness as he went to lay down. Stan Uris was his friend…Bill knew he could’ve said no, he could’ve even turned him away but surprisingly he had accepted the offer. He was giddy at the thought and as he stared up at his ceiling he daydreamed of him before he ultimately fell asleep. Caramel curls with dark hazel eyes and smiling lips haunted his dreams, just before being consumed by smoke and the vision of something evil… Something Bill couldn’t explain.
