ship: Silver x fem!OC (belongs to @princesslocket )

word count: 2601

note: a commission from a lovely person!! ovo/ check out her OC cuz Locket is just neato!

Read on AO3

The campus of Night Raven College had become home to the Prefect of Ramshackle. And to finally be back, to be welcomed by the familiar faces and scenery was a sight for sore eyes. No longer was she, along with a handful of other students, on the Island of Woe, fighting for not only their lives but the entire world's future. It was a huge relief to return. Locket was more than happy to come back to the school grounds despite everything that had transpired in this school since her arrival.

But what really relieves her is the fact that Grim is at her side. The little furball was happy beyond belief to be back. Despite how tough he wanted to come off as, even he succumbed to tears. He missed her. He missed his friends.

And finally, he was home too.

Reunions were taking place on the fields, friends and classmates being reunited. There was plenty to do and talk about. It was chaotic yet this felt just right. When had this school ever been silent? And amiss it all, a voice catches her attention.

"Locket...!"

The Prefect's eyes widen when she recognizes that voice. With a quick turn, she finds Silver, a dear friend, looking her way. A smile eases onto her face once their eyes meet. Regardless of the troubles she just went through, he manages to make her light up with just his presence. Yet, unfortunately, Silver can't return that same smile.

"You...are you alright?" He asks with deep concern. Even if he has trouble expressing himself, his eyes hold so much more. Worry and unease sparkle within those shimmering and beautiful eyes. They say so much more than he does, practically pleading with hope that she is okay.

"I heard what happened," Silver continues. He doesn't know everything, just whatever they could conclude from an earlier meeting. How certain students were taken away and the guess as to why.

It doesn't help that he had witnessed it firsthand when they had come for Riddle. Knowing that Locket was gone, to chase after them, a feeling of dread had taken over his heart. Surely the same wouldn't happen to her, but to think it had? It left him troubled and worried, more than he would ever voice aloud. But it was clear on his face to anyone who saw him how he was fretting over the incident. Her sudden disappearance was more than enough to even make him have trouble sleeping.

Locket was known to jump into trouble and disregard her safety. And it seemed the same had happened yet again.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"Oh, don't worry, Silver!" Locket smiles brightly at him with a spring in her step. She's tired, so tired. Dealing with another Overblot is draining, but she'd never let it show, at least not in front of a crowd. She has to keep up that smile no matter how weary it may be. In front of him, it's easier, and more natural to maintain.

She takes closer steps towards him, away from the reunion. "I'm alright." She reassures with a light smile and a matching laugh.

"There's a lot to explain about what happened though and I'm not too sure how much I can really spill..." It wasn't her story to tell. So many were involved and so much had happened. But, he deserved to know some of the truth, right? At least what happened to her.

For a brief moment, her eyes drift back to Grim. Her gaze softens as she sees the cat in the hands of Ace and Deuce. The three of them are huddled together, clinging to each other.

"But we got Grim back."

Silver follows her gaze. He knows the importance of that cat monster to her. And he also knows not to push someone to speak if they don't want to, especially her. She'd been gone for so long, or at least it felt like a long time. Silver could see just how tired she was. How tired everyone is. This incident had taken its toll on the entire school.

"You must be tired. You should rest when you get the chance." He replies. He's about to speak more, concerning her health but his gaze is suddenly drawn to the unusual purple cloth she's wearing. He didn't know why he hadn't noticed before, especially since it was a sudden and stark difference from her usual attire.

"Why're you in Pomefiore's dorm uniform, if I may ask?"

"Oh!" She gives a nervous laugh as she faces him once more, but not after glancing down at her attire. "Long story short, I had to wear it to help protect me! Ramshackle's uniform doesn't get the job done in different weather conditions." Or at all, really. Well, it did the basics, and that's all she needed. "The uniforms are imbued with magic, right? So, I had to put one on to adjust to the weather when we were flying."

The explanation sounds crazy out of context. Her, the Prefect, flying. But a lot of things have happened to her since arriving at this school. It shouldn't be too surprising to hear she flew in the sky or swam in the deepest parts of the sea. Now, here she was performing a simpler act, dawning another dorm's uniform.

Silver nods with a hum. He has so many questions going through his mind right now. Too many to ask at once. She needs her rest though, but his gaze still lingers on the uniform she wears.

He doesn't mind it, honestly. The uniform does fit her nicely. It's elegant and formal which suits the dorm it's from. Even if it wasn't imbued with magic, it does seem warmer than her usual attire.

It just leaves...something on his mind. Something similar to a bad taste in his mouth, yet not quite unpleasant. It's difficult to pinpoint this foreign feeling. He just wants to help her, to do the same as those of Pomefiore had done.

Silver finally decides on what he wants to do. But as he opens his mouth to speak, Grim is calling out for her. Locket can't say no to him, especially as he pulls her away from Silver. The cat is whining and crying about his henchhuman and how she needs to be by his side.

He can't help but smile at the two. It was important for them to reunite with everyone. She was missed, more than the other students would care to admit. But he wouldn't be afraid to say it if asked. For now, he steps back. It's not in him to interrupt a moment like this.

~...~

The days are getting colder and colder it seems. That or perhaps a brush with death lingered on her soul for longer than she thought. Regardless, the temperature around campus isn't as warm and pleasant as it was when she arrived back from the Island of Woe. Within the span of a couple of days, it had gone the breeze had gone from nice to chilly.

Locket takes one step out of Sam's shop and nearly has the urge to run back inside. At least his shop was always at a decent temperature to be in. But outside? It was cold. Freezing. And it didn't help that her 'cape' was nowhere to be seen around her shoulders.

The girl instantly hugs herself. The cool, chilly air brushes against her. Her clothes did little to fight off against the cold. It didn't help that she had returned to Ramshackle's uniform, which meant the lack of imbued magic and the warmth that came with it.

She wished that she had her jacket back, but so much had been going on lately. There was the fact Ramshackle had been practically destroyed. To ensure her and Grim's safety, she had to find a place to stay since her dorm was currently unlivable. It was even worse than when she first arrived here! There was so much to do that things felt like they were just piling up one after another.

At least she could spend time in Pomefiore. The invitation was extended to her and during these past couple of days, it had become a second home to her. And that's exactly where her jacket was right now.

It would be a bit of a trip back, but not a bad one. She never minded a walk around campus or traveling to other dorms. But today was different considering she lacked her cape.

"Oh, Locket." The familiar voice calls out to her, stopping her mind from worrying about the trip to Pomefiore. She turns and greets the boy with a smile.

"Silver!" She chirps, excited as always to see him no matter what predicament she may be in. "Heya, what brings you out here?"

"Nothing really. I was trying to find my fa- Lilia. He mentioned wanting to buy ingredients for dinner..." He does all he can to hold back a sigh. It's not like he could stop Lilia from cooking if he wanted to. He'd just have to tough it out and...do his best to eat whatever he decided to make.

"I didn't see him at the shop...maybe he already got them?" Locket suggests.

Silver doesn't want to admit that he's troubled by the thought. It sends a shiver down his spine to imagine what he'd bought already.

Yet, he catches sight of her once again. Noticing the change in clothing, or lack thereof. She no longer dawns the robes of Pomefiore, but her usual Ramshackle attire. One piece is missing from her and its very noticeable.

Then he notices her body language. The slight shivering and how she holds herself together. Despite how she tries to stand firmly and act as if she doesn't have a care in the world, he can see that she's trying to hide it. It's subtle but Silver is observant.

Unfortunately, he's not sure how to bring it up. Could he ask? Or should he simply do something? He decides to go for the latter.

"I'm sure I'll come across him later. But for now...I'd like you to have this, if you will." Silver starts to take off his jacket. He takes a step closer to her. Once close enough, he simply drapes it around her shoulders, making it seem like her cape had returned, albeit this one was darker than her usual. His fingers brush against her shoulders, gently gliding over the fabric of her shirt. He ensures his jacket remains there, nice and perfectly. "It won't protect your whole body, but at least it can provide you some warmth."

Locket seems to pause for a moment. Then her hands begin to move. Not to adjust the jacket, but to simply touch the fabric as if to confirm it's there. It's like a part of her that was missing had just been reunited with her after a very long time. She felt more complete than ever before.

"It's fine! Don't worry, this is more than enough. I...appreciate it, Silver."

Her smile eases onto her face so naturally. It's easy to relax around him. It's the little things he does for her. How he treats her kindly and as if she were just any other, ordinary person. Back at home, she never got this kind of treatment. It was different back then. Stressful.

He'll never know just how much she appreciates it.

With a hum of her own, she steps to his side. She twirls a bit as if testing her new cape. It stays on, thankfully. It's like it was meant to be there all along.

"Well, we should head back, right?"

Silver nods as he takes a step toward the mirror chamber. He's a bit surprised to see her come along, although her presence isn't unwanted.

"Is there a reason you're heading this way?" He asks. Ramshackle was on campus, there would be no need for her to go this way. Unless... "Is...Ramshackle still not finished being repaired?"

Locket holds back a sigh but her face falls regardless. "It's still being worked on. I could stay in one of the rooms and I tried to, but the ghosts wouldn't let me. They shooed me out to go find a safer room on campus." She says with a light chuckle. Those ghosts always seemed to have her back.

"Where have you been staying then?"

"Pomefiore! They welcomed me there. Although I wasn't planning to stay there for too long..." She'd rather spend time in another dorm, but she wasn't in a position to be picky. It didn't help that most students could throw her out of the dorm if they really wanted to. While she may not mind a night out under the stars, she's certain that Grim would.

"I see..." Silver nods in thought. For a moment, his eyelids grow heavy. Sleep always tries to take him when he least expects it. But he can't allow himself to sleep, not now. A gentle hand touches his shoulder and that seems to do the trick. An apologetic look stems from him as he turns to Locket. "Sorry." He doesn't need to apologize, but he does anyway. It's become a bad habit that he could never truly shake off. "The ghosts must really care for you."

"They do! Me and Grim!" She replies. "I had to admit, I do miss being around them too. You should visit when it's repaired!"

Her eyes light up at the thought. She'd love for him to come to her home. Especially since it should be better than before. At least she hopes so. Anything would be better than having a large hole in the wall and allowing the outside forces in. Regardless of how her dorm turns out, she's looking forward to it despite not hearing his reply.

"I'd love to." Silver puts on a little smile. He truly would enjoy being at Ramshackle. It's a decrepit dorm, or it had been, but it had sprung to life thanks to her. It had her personal touch everywhere. He had to admit that he missed visiting it. "I'm sure you'll be back soon."

They continue to chat all the way up to the mirror chamber. Various topics come up, but it's mostly Locket speaking and Silver listening. He enjoys the sound of her voice. It helps keep him grounded and awake. And she doesn't mind telling him about her day or things she has planned. Especially if they involve him.

Silver almost hates that they have to part ways. Her presence is...warm. It's difficult to put into words, but he enjoys being around her more than he ever thought he would.

"You can keep the jacket," Silver tells her before she can begin taking it off. "In case it ever gets cold...it's yours to use."

He feels proud. He's happy to lend her something of his that she can use. It's almost embarrassing to feel this way, but he enjoys the feeling. He did something good for her and it makes his heart feel light.

Locket's hands waver on his jacket. For a moment, she considers taking it off and insisting he takes it back. It was his! And yet...a part of her wants to keep it. To have it around her every now and then and to enjoy the feeling of warmth she gets from it. It's nice and soothing and comforting. It reminds her of him.

"Thanks, Silver."

It makes her truly feel like she's at home.

kicks leggy up

so how does Locket wear her science/lab uniform? just asking...for science lol

THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE!!!

Behold the one time Locket actually wears her clothes correctly! And with a few personal touches too~

I feel like she's got the lab safety videos if they even have those at NRC locked and memorized in her head. Like to the point where she'll quietly hum a little song about 'em.

#ozrockbitway #thank you for asking!!!#those are ribbons on her goggles #she takes them off before getting near any chemicals #and her necklace gets tucked into her lab coat #she also messes with buttons a lot on her lab coat #which made the bottom left one come lose #kshghgogh #she is just a silly girlie #locket cantu #locket art #oc #my oc #twisted wonderland

slides in. slides you a venti TCG card. so uhh. you wana tell me some things about genshin Locket 👀 her design....vewy pwetty

\\\qwq/// It sparkles and glitters and shines! I MUST HAVE HIM FOR MY DECK!!! Lol well I've got a few things and by a few I mean a lot sjkhgugslkjf

So for starters, her outfit was inspired by Beidou, Xiangling, and Mona's clothing!

I wanted to reuse the outfit(s) from her old pokemon showcase artworks at first but they really weren't really genshin enough so I just took the colors from them instead ewe

Normally Locket would've been put in some kind of dress with fluffy/bouncy elements but I wanted to try something different this time around and thus THE POWERPUFF GIRL WAS BORN XD

In a way she still kind of retains some of those bouncy elements so not too much changed in that department

((Enjoy a 2016 MS Paint Screenshot Edit for reference))

Her signature weapon on the other hand definitely got switched up though!

Locket's go-to weapon has ALWAYS been a bow & arrow for years

It's only changed to a polearm now that I've recently started to separate her from my own personal preferences ksjhfshfjkhk

She was always intended to be an archon in this au too! I just didn't know if she + some other OCs should literally take the place of preexisting characters or have them be in their own parallel world

In the end I've decided that she + the others all live in a parallel world to one we all know and is a free roaming spirit, much like Venti

In this universe, Locket never has to truly run away from home- She simply changes her form every couple decades or so to avoid drawing any suspicion of her true nature as an archon

She lives in the Whispering Woods btw! Her home remains hidden to all (especially her fellow archons) though. Only one other person has ever managed to visit her humble abode and that person... is her stuffed animal named Horsey lol

Locket also makes her own windgliders

Since she's the god of anemo she technically doesn't need a windglider but a girls gotta keep up appearances so she using them to fit in

I feel like she visits Angel a lot too (and gets zapped for her impromptu visits too =x=///)

Out of all the archons, these two are the closest-

Side Notes that aren't exactly Locket related:

Silas - Geo Archon

Angel - Electro Archon

Blossom - Dendro Archon

TBA - Hydro Archon

Ceris - Pyro Archon

Hideko - Cryo Archon

In this universe there is no traveler to solve the nations problems. Everyone just kind of lives normal lives. It's the height of luxury for Locket really. She's got no big responsibilities or worries

Everything is fine~ Until it's not....

#ozrockbitway #thank you so much for this!#forgot to add that fankids & some canon charas also exist in this universe #but only charas from other shows #ksjfeshfo #in a mutiverse setting though #the ocs do exist with the GI charas #it's fun & complicated to think about #locket talks #locket cantu #oc
