Other Chapters

The stables had become Irene’s favorite place in the Autumn Court. She rode nearly everyday, only staying inside when torrential rain made riding unbearable. But if the skies were clear, Irene would be riding. At first it was just around the stables, getting to know the horses. Quickly, she started wandering off farther. She got lost one day, deep in the woods, the paths overgrown. Unable to find her way back. By chance, Lucien stumbled upon her. “What are you doing here?”

“I got lost.” He sighed deeply. “Follow me.”

That’s how Irene met Jesminda. The female was waiting for him at a small cottage. Lucien dismounted and Irene did the same. When he walked inside he was almost tackled to the floor by her. She kissed him deeply only stopped when Lucien pulled away to say “love, this is Irene. Irene this is Jesminda.” Her eyes widened and she stepped closer to Irene.

“Lulu has told me many things about the new bride of Autumn, I’m sorry that you were… well what happened to you is unfortunate.” Irene nodded, “I don’t think Lucien has mentioned you before.”

“He wouldn’t dare. If the High Lord finds out about us I’d be toast, isn’t that right, dear?” Lucien clarified for Irene “no one knows, but I trust that you’ll not say anything about this to anyone. Not even Eris.”

“I won’t say a word.”

They were sitting by the hearth and drinking a spiced tea as Lucien explained to Jesminda why he had brought Irene along “she was out in the Cliff’s Edge Pass when I found her, too far to take her back and then come back out again.”

“I’m glad you’re here Irene, us females need to have eachothers’ backs in this court.”

Once the sun began to set Lucien announced they should head back, not wanting to ride in the pitch black forest.

“It was lovely meeting you Jesminda, thank you for your hospitality.”

“Come by whenever you like, Irene, I need a break from Lucien every so often.” She teased and the male picked her up so fast she didn’t have time to let out a squeal of surprise before his lips were on hers. “I’ll be back soon, love.”

After that they would ride together to keep each other company even if Lucien insisted he was “only teaching her how to navigate the Court’s lands.”

On the rare occasion it rained, Irene would read in her rooms or spend time with Mora. The Lady of Autumn had a calming presence and when the days were gloomy and storms raged outside and in Irene’s mind she would be soothed by her demeanor. Often discussing the books they were reading over tea or just sitting in silence by a crackling fire.

Most days, she did not see Eris. To avoid Beron, she would have all her meals in her rooms or take a picnic on her rides. She only visited the library on the far end of the house, nowhere near his room or his study. Eris would spot her riding and sometimes they’d see each other in the library. “That’s my spot.” He had said when he found her in an alcove behind the section that housed all of the fiction books. Eris looked annoyed, he was carrying a book and had allotted himself an hour to read in peace when he found Irene in the very spot he wanted to be.

“I was here first.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be galavanting with Lucien?”

Irene pointed to the window that was being pelted by harsh rain. “Not in this weather. We both fit here, let’s just share.”

Eris thought about it and reached the same conclusion she had. His rooms were getting stuffy and this was one of the few places his father or his brothers wouldn’t bother him. So he sat next to her, on the far end, creating as much space between them as he could. They stayed like that until the sun set and Irene got up “I’ll see you around, Eris.”

She was doing fine, she really was. Nightmares about being paralyzed or being burned by Beron would wake her up nearly every night, but she always managed to get back to sleep. The nights when sleep was impossible, a weight on her chest so large she could swear her ribs would crack, Irene would plot. She’d indulge herself with fantasies of the High Lord of Night’s head on a stake. Ideas of pulverizing him and spreading his ashes on piles of manure. Then she’d think of Beron’s punishment, driving an ice stake through his heart seemed an interesting approach. If fire runs through his veins he must enjoy the heat and Irene wanted his last moments in this world to be filled with pain and discomfort. Lastly she would think of how to get her mother out of the prison, but that always came with a wave of grief.

Irene was perfectly fine.

Until she realized Starfall was two weeks away and the nightmares were not of her recent horrors, but of more ancient ones.

That night, after leaving the library and eating alone, Irene fell asleep and dreamt of the first Startfall without her family. She remembers fragments, gaps looming over her memory. After crying most of the day, Victoria went into her room and forced her to get out of bed. “You don’t have to go to the party, we can just look at it from the window or something.”

Decades later Irene wasn’t sure what Victoria’s intentions were that night. Maybe it was prepubescent contempt and the desire to not be surrounded by only her brother and his friends. Or maybe it was that she had gotten lonely after months of Irene isolating herself and it was an attempt at reviving her only friend in the world. But Victoria pulled Irene out of her room that night and Irene was forced to reckon with the fact that her world had been destroyed but life was still happening.

The two girls sat huddled together by a large window and watched the sky come alive. For those moments, Irene felt a break from the crushing weight on her heart. They did not talk for a while, Irene was still bristled from being torn from her bed.

“No one likes him.” Victoria broke the silence. “I know Rhysand doesn’t like him, neither does my mother and I hate him.”

“I hate him too.” In her too small heart she harbored undiluted hate for the male and hate was easy. She could hate him without trying, hate him in her sleep. After Starfall was over and the girls went back into their rooms, Irene slipped into the kitchen to find something to eat.

She heard footsteps for a split second. Then, the light vanished. Darkness enveloped her but she was not asleep. Hadn’t fainted either. It pressed against her and restricted her airflow. She was suffocating under the weight of the universe. At that moment, she couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Considering that maybe she had died and this was the painful passage to the next life. It could have been minutes or hours later, but Celene walked into the kitchen to find that her mate was strangling Irene with an onyx mass.

The Lady must have sent something down the mating bond, or yelled hard enough that the High Lord snapped out of whatever compelled him to attack a child. Irene was frenzied, gasping for air and frantically clawing at her chest, like she wanted to rip out her heart and soothe it with her hands.

That was the night her hate turned to fear. That was the nightmare that woke her up, all these decades after.

The next few days were spent in a blur of sleeplessness. Irene could not bring herself to close her eyes. She kept a candle burning in every corner of the room and the curtains all the way open. Eating was difficult again. Mora asked what was the matter, “what can I do to help?” Irene could not explain to her that the nightmares that kept her up and were slowly making her insane. She couldn’t find the words.

Then Lucien visited her room and insisted that she sleep. “You look terrible and this room is a mess” he pointed to the piles of melted wax on the floor, the stale bread on the little table she ate and the bedding strewn on the mattress. “I can’t sleep.” He sighed “yes you can Irene, and you have to.” She refused. Lucien left and an hour later Eris walked through the door.

“Hello.” Irene looked back at him from her chair by the window. “Hi.”

“I’m told you are not well.” She did not respond. “Something about not sleeping or eating?”

“I can’t.”

He was still by the door, not stepping further into her room. “Why not?” Silence. “Irene, no matter how much of a fuss you make no one is going to come rescue you.”

“I know.”

“Then sleep, eat.” He ran a hand through his hair, disheveling the short red locks. “Or rot away. It's your call.”

“Nothing has ever been my call, Eris. I’m stuck in this prison of a Court with a husband as a chain.”

“No one is forcing you to stay in this roo-” he stopped speaking as she stood up from her chair. He saw her for the first time since the library and was taken aback at how dark the circles under her eyes were. How gaunt her face. She roared at him, and her eyes, bloodshot and wild, piercing his own.

“Damn it Eris! I can’t go back home anymore! I can’t be with my family because I’m married to you! I’m nothing more than a stupid political hostage and you know it.”

He did not need a reminder that his wife was a mere punishment. That she resented him just as much as he resented her.

“Are you really that stupid? You were a hostage there too. If your precious Rhysand loved you or cared for you in any meaningful way he wouldn’t have let you marry me. You are a fool for wishing to be back there.”

“I’m more of a prisoner here.”

“Here you have a title. Here you are the sole Princess of Autumn.”

“This house is a prison”

“The entire Night Court is a prison!”

“You have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“You can rot in this room for all I care. But that’s your choice.”

“No it 's not. None of this is my choice! You, this mariage, this bloody title!”

“Look around! No one chose to be here! I was born into it, so was my father and so were my brothers. My mother was married into it, you’re not special. But you are choosing to waste away and, whatever your reasoning is, it's stupid.”

“Fuck you.”

“Pathetic.”

She couldn’t disagree. So she remained silent.

He had nothing else to say. So he left.

Eventually exhaustion won. She passed out on the chair and more nightmares came, each one worse than the last. How the High Lord would take her out of her room at night and experiment. First with suffocation, but then he tried to drown her, to lash her, he tried carving out her organs but could not get through a protective layer beneath her skin. He grew frustrated with all his blades ricocheting off her. When he was tired of trying he would return her to the room, drop her on the floor and think of new ways to try and end her. He tampered with her mind. Creating a permanent spot in her memory for the nights they spent together and forbidding her from speaking them aloud.

I got a booster shot yesterday so ive been exhausted all day, so we're back to 700 word ficlets for @taznovembercelebration

Day 11: seven/gone

Taako gets into a little pickle, but it's nothing he can't handle. He'll be back on the ship in no time

Read it on AO3

Every time Taako thinks he's seen everything, something else always has to happen.

They're a couple dozen cycles into their own personal purgatory, and he and Magnus are out scouting. Magnus is up ahead, clearing a path through the brush, when Taako's foot catched on a root and he falls forward. He throws his hands out to catch himself, but instead of landing on the squishy moss floor of the wilderness, he hits stone. He looks around and finds himself in some sort of subterranean cave system, with no indication of how he ended up here.

It's a gruelling two days as he hikes through, hoping for an opening somewhere. He has rations, fortunately, and there doesn't seem to be any sort of life down there aside from some bioluminescent moss that he's careful to stay away from. Eventually he sees daylight, and emerges back to the surface. There's a deep slash cut into a tree a short distance ahead of him that he recognises from their scouting, when Magnus got startled by a bird and swung wildly. It's what prompted Taako to trail behind him.

With his bearings, he heads back to the clearing the ship was in. He reaches it just as the sun's beginning to set.

It's empty.

The ship's gone. There isn't so much as an indent in the grass from where it was.

He fishes in his bag for his communicator. It didn't work down in the cave, but it hopefully should now. He fiddles with the dial until the frequency picks up another one of their comms.

“Hellooooo,” he sing-songs, “Taako to Starblaster, where the fuck did you go?”

The connection crackles, silence on the other end. Then, “Taako?”

Lup's voice is meek, which is very unlike her. “The one and only, Lulu. I thought we were gonna hang out in the forest for at least a week. Where'd you go? Am I in the wrong clearing?”

“You-” her voice catches, and she sobs, “you're alive?”

“Why wouldn't I be? I thought we all learned after the hide and seek incident not to jump to conclusions after a few days.”

“A few- Koko, it's been seven months.” Her voice still shakes some as she talks, and he can picture the tear tracks running down her cheeks, but she's not actively crying anymore, “Magnus came back and said you vanished. He had no idea what happened or where you went. We waited for almost two weeks before we moved on. I- we all thought you were gone.”

“I'm sorry, I'm still processing seven months?! It's only been two days!”

“No, Taako. It's been longer. The cycle's almost up.” There's some shuffling on the other end. “Where are you? I'll go tell Davenport right now and we'll come get you.”

“I'm where we fucking started, Lup!” He doesn't need to raise his voice at her, but he can't comprehend that she's had to go through all this time thinking he's dead, when he was just underground. Apparently in time fuckey caves.

He can hear Lup running on the other end of the comm. “Dav! Dav!” She's a little breathless, “Taako's alive.”

He sighs. “Lup-”

“Hey Cap'nport.”

There's a long silence.

“Taako?”

“Would you be a dear and come get your favourite arcanist-slash-chef? I'm way back at Go, and I certainly did not collect two hundred dollars.”

“Holy shit. Yeah! Shit. Fuck. We're on our way, just sit tight.”

It takes them about a day to get back to him. When the ship descends back into the clearing, Lup doesn't even bother to use the door. She hops over the railing around the main deck and floats down. She hits the ground running and tackles him in a tight hug. “Asshole,” she mutters, “making me think you're dead for months.”

“I was involuntarily teleported.”

Lup laughs and pulls back, taking in his face. “You're filthy,” she licks her thumb and starts rubbing at his cheek.

“Gah!” He tries to bend back away from her. “Cut it out!”

She takes his hand and brings him onto the ship where the rest of the crew express similar sentiments about being happy he isn't dead. Especially Magnus, who, when he turned around and couldn't find a trace of him, assumed he had gotten eaten by a beast or something.

“Nope,” Taako says, “just got consumed by the Earth.”

“Also,” Magnus looks deeply guilty, “we ate all your cookies.”

“The caramel ones?!” Magnus nods. “Fuck!”

Sally Williams headcannons? 😋

HELL YEAH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE I LOVE SALLY SO MUUUCHHH, She's not THAT important in my AU but she serves an important character role as she is close to all of the lore important characters (Slender/Zalgo, Lazari, Ben, EJ, Laughing Jack+Jill) so she does serve an overarching purpose. However she just isn't that involved in the greater story.

Backstory: Sally was one of the first Creepypastas I ever learnt about! I even knew who she was before the popular ones like Jeff and Ben lol I actually got into Creepypastas properly after hearing her backstory, so I've got her to thank for how I turned out lol

Anyways...

Sally Headcanons

-Sally's one of the oldest 'beings' in the Forest, besides Slenderman and Laughing Jack+Jill. She was born in the late 50s and died in the mid 60s, making her old as HELL. However, in terms of the age she died, she's actually the youngest in the whole Labrinth.

-Since she died in the 60s, she's definitely a product of her era. Since every form of Ghost stays the same mentally and physically after death, she's definitely an old fashioned person. She doesn't really have 'traditional values' but she definitely finds it incredibly hard to understand certain 'modern aspects' of society and culture.

-She's often referred to as 'Grandma Sally' or as 'Wise Elder' by the younger beings that live in the forest. Majority of the time its used as an insult, since the spirits in the Forest don't like her.

-She ranks pretty high on the 'Ghost' Hierarchy, as she's a Spectre so she can actually achieve a corporal form under a certain set of conditions. In the Forest, she has a corporal form due to it being a Labrinth, therefore it not following natural laws, however in the Outside World she is a proper Ghost so she is invisible and cannot touch things.

-She finds it incredibly hard to understand modern technology. Since she retains the same knowledge capacity she had in life, you can explain how the Internet works to her about a million times and she still just won't understand.

-One thing she just doesn't understand is mobile phones. She only knows how to operate Payphones and Landlines, but she just doesn't understand how a phone works. She SCREAMED the first time she saw one as she believed it was some form of Magic.

-Sometimes she'll secretly watch over the Proxies when they're on missions. They only realised recently, and sometimes use her when they think she'll be useful.

Another Incorrect quote for you:

Masky: Okay Sally if we don't come back in an hour, call Slender for assistance. Sally: I can't. Masky: Why? Sally: I don't have any quarters. *Masky facepalms*

-She's a sassy ass Ghost, and only really pretends to be nice in front of newer residents or in front of the 'adults' like the Proxies, Slender, Jeff etc. Ben, Lazari, Lulu and the younger Pastas definitely know her bs.

-Her best friend is Lazari, and they go on wacky adventures like Jeff and Ben do except its WAY more chaotic, it's very fun to watch them wrestle a ghost for stealing Mr. Death from Sally.

Sally is the brains and Lazari is the brawns (since she's a half demon she's got superman levels of brute force strength).

-Since none of the Ghosts like her and Ben besides Lucy, she often gets into fights with them and boasts about how she can touch things whilst they can't. That's actually the reason why they hate her.

-Ben is sort of like an older brother to her. He often messes around with her and they have tea-parties together with Lazari, sometimes forcefully bringing Jeff along.

-Whilst Nina is gifted at reading who you are as a person, Sally is good at reading your emotions at any given moment. She's good at figuring out peoples needs and what kinda of trauma they could be suffering from. Because of this many newer Pastas tend to gravitate towards her since she'll pick up on the way they'll want to be treated.

-She both adores and is deadly terrified of Slender and Zalgo. Whilst she likes them when they're normal, and especially loves Slender when it's Charles in charge of the body, she's terrified of them when they're in their more 'demonic' states. She hates the Operator due to all the additional trauma he's given her and she doesn't really go near Zalgo due to his violent tendencies.

-Mr. Death is her comfort item, so if you DARE try and touch it without her permission she'll fucking kill you.

-As she's a ghost, she can possess inanimate objects temporarily which she likes doing to scare people, or sometimes do nice things. She once possessed Natalie's stuffed giraffe to say some kind words to her, which worked.

-She's just as capable of being nice as she is capable of being mean. However she is very kind majority of the time, just as long as you don't piss her off, or mention John Williams in ANY SORT OF WAY.

Being serious here. Any mention of John will get you a nasty smack from most residents in the mansion.

-She doesn't swear in any shape or form, as she believes it's unlady-like (remember, traditional values sort of), but she has been known to have used 'Frick' on the record at least once. She doesn't even really say 'Jesus Christ' or use the lord's name in vain, as she grew up Christian (most people were in the 60s but I'm not sure if that was confirmed or anything).

-She LOVES all of the female Pastas (Natalie, Jane, Zero, Dina etc) and often has sleepovers with them and Lazari. Her and Lazari basically do everything together and you don't really see the two apart unless if they've had a fight.

-However she has a complicated relationship with the male pastas. She's neutral towards most of them, but really dislikes Masky and Hoody alongside Jeff as they're almost impossible to read. She's definitely the closest with Ben and EJ, as they both see her as a little sister figure.

She and Laughing Jack+Jill have the most complicated relationship. Due to their personal hatred of children (besides for when he's trying to kill them), it took a long time for the two of them to get along. She likes stacking donuts on his nose when he's asleep.

-She's aware of Lazari's half-sisters, although Lazari isn't, and sometimes delivers presents to her from them.

-Due to being born during the Cold War, she's quite confused about the difference between the Soviet Union and Russia. Weird headcanon but I feel like it would be funny if there was an interaction like;

Sally: Hey did the USA finally beat the Commies? Lazari: Girl what is a Commie Sally: You know, like the Soviet Union? Did we finally beat them and the evil Russian spies? Jeff: GIRL WHAT

-She wants to be apart of the Mansion's Literature Club, however Ben consistently rejects her, much to her chagrin. She mainly wants to join because she wants to figure out what the hell a Fanfiction is and why Nina is so good at writing them.

-Due to the fact that the Mansion has unrestricted internet access and Sally doesn't know enough about the internet to know how to be safe on there, she's seen...stuff.

She accidentally stumbled across Ben's search history whilst trying to use Google and THE HORRORS SHE SAW ON THERE THAT POOR POOR GIRL.

-She actually really likes My Little Pony and has some of the figures. She's blissfully unaware of what a Bronie is, thank the lord.

Her favourite character is Pinkie Pie, of course.

-She often leaves the Labrinth secretly with Lazari to mess with the local kids, and the two of them have gathered somewhat of a name for themselves.

-She often randomly gives long and philosophical speeches about life despite being mentally around 8 years old. Sometimes when Toby's having a meltdown she'll just talk about the meaning of life and family loss and everyone will just sit there in awe.

Then she'll go quiet and act like nothing happened.

There you go, some Sally headcanons! I've got a lot in terms of her connection to the overarching lore of my AU, so if you want I'll give you those too!

The Floral Gardener of the Temple

_________________________________________

Appearance and Personality

Appearance: Lucia has a petite yet average female body, let alone that she focuses on her daily nutrients within her schedule which was the cause of her body's physical changes. She has cloud periwinkle colored fluffly hair which only the two sides of her hair are longer to reach to the ground while on her behind which is cut to her neckline. She has lavender blush colored eyes which they can turn into bell white whenever she uses her willow abilities, just like her fellow forest whisperling companions. Lucia is morefully a composed young women, but she tends to keep her mouth quiet often than speaking.

Personality: Born within the third part of the Land of Wisteriana, known as the Blooming Grove. Lucia grew up within the states within various chapels and temples created by the blooming blossoms, her family including herself as well would often visit the temple to continue the following traditions from their main country itself, though no feelings were added from anyone in this country Lucia was offered to be the gardener's for the temple right after her practices for her abilities had been caught by the mage who worked for the temple herself. It wasn't before long when she agreed to join in after a recent issue she had that has an involvement with wish-granting by the flower bed around midnight o'clock.

As time passed on, she continued her practices hoping to develop some improvements within her abilities as she continued her training sessions right after every single effort she took. Lucia continued her daily schedule till the current timeline.

The Lucia in the current timeline is now a composed yet silent young lady, who seems to value her time slowly but doesn't waste most of her free time on anything that catches her interest, especially whenever she sees something that does not impress her current mood. Mostly she stays in a poker face-like expression, which doesn't last long whenever she does her training sessions rather privately away from a crowd full of people. She tends to be silent often but can reply if that’s necessary.

She rarely talks towards anyone, including her own dorm mates, except for those who belong within the rift dimension. She’s often seen with some of the crestria demi-gods, the angels within the rift, or even Westyn’s group who were scouted within RSA, including her fellow forest whisperling buddies such as Shirrira and her cousins and the other races which allow her to talk comfortably without hesitation. Despite herself also being scouted like the rest of them, Lucia then decided to keep herself in a low profile for now. Though she can be social if you can try to talk with her if the timing is correct, she may interact if that’s a possible chance.

She’s very patient with anyone who tries to speak to her aside from her fellow rift citizens or the people who try to communicate with her, let alone that she doesn't sound meek or let alone timid as well, Lucia is very mature for her age, especially when she’s good with her formalities with others with status or not. Aside from that, she often gives advice and opinions whenever a question arises that perks her mind, sometimes she’s closed off or open-minded but she picks what she wants to do with it. Though she can rather create light entertainment for others to light up the mood a bit.

Be mindful whenever you speak, because Lucia has a strong yet sharp sense of hearing for words, especially related or not related to topics at all. She's selective about topics being picked on, let alone is rather sensitive or disturbed by hearing something that isn't much for her, more fully she can be judgemental and awfully cold with the person she dislikes, criticizing rather with negativity which she's only stating facts and doesn't care od what the other person thinks of her replies afterward. She doesn't see much effort in anyone who tries to sugarcoat her words regardless.

Composed as a lady at all times, let with abilities that needed to be practiced as well. This forest whispering has her way through her granting abilities, but please don't ask much from her or she'll take a breath.

_________________________________________

Trivia

-The name 'Lucia' means light and is the feminine form of Lucius and of Italian origin meaning. While her surname 'Primrose' is habitational name from the lands of Primrose (Fife). The placename is probably of Celtic origin, containing Pictish or Gaelic ros 'wooded promontory'

-She's based on Farrah Goodfairy, from the Ever After High Franchise and Series.

-Is born from two mothers, so she doesn't have a father figure. But her uncle is considered as one.

-Entered the temple as a royal gardener, which she became well respected and admired by the visitors within her homeland.

-She's often seen with her race companions the most aside from the other rift races. Shirrira alongside with her two cousins, Nocturne and Othenio are one of the examples.

-She seems on the neutral terms with her dorm and her dorm mates. Despite being on a silent terms with them. Though she is trying to communicate with them though she needs to take her time to work it out.

-She has a pet white flying squirrel, named Pi.

-Lucia seems to be on natural terms with the other races of the rift, mostly with the humanity within the rift as well.

-Practices her wishing abilities, hoping to improve a bit to get her magic to go better.

-Is a normal fan of astrology.

-Is normally a tea person, however she doesn't have a favourite flavour since she tried all of the tea flavours back in her days.

-Prefers to get her peace and quiet.

-Seems to know how to make floral themed jewelry by hand with the basic materials.

-Her Curse: (Due to her wishing abilities, she can only grant one person three wishes but only once in a day. Once midnight hits, the spells and the wish itself will be reverse back to normal which it affects her mentality due to her past, she's recovers her sanity by laying on the flowerbeds around at night but that's a slight minimum. However the three wishes cannot be granted by the same person ever permanently after.)

-According to her info, she seems to be closed off by many people as a child ever since they had seen her magic such as wish granting which is conflicted to her greatly. One night near midnight, a high-class noble had planned a kidnapping on Lucia for her magic for wishes but was caught by one of the temple's sevants servants during the progress of the crime. Petrified of the incident, Lucia loses much of her mental health which cost her to be hospitalized for one whole week.

-Her huge dislikes for nobility and wealth status was from the incident she went through as a child.

-Despite her gaining a curse (even if she's from the rift, which some race abilities are the curses itself), she never grants a person's selfish wishes. Which her curse may not work on them at all.

-Based on her personality, Lucia is very silent due to her not being very communicative with others. But whenever she speaks, she sounds composed and polite towards anyone she speaks to normally. Which is why I chose Suzuko Mimori to be her voice actor.

-Struggles to recover her sanity, but with her curse intact. It was not easy.

-Seems to explore ruins with Venomia at daily chances.

-Is often seen with Harper and Westyn on her daily basis.

Lulu

Warnings: sexual assault and death.

she grew up as a wealthy girl being put through several private schools growing up. she wasnt the smartest, and didn’t want to socialise.

she developed early, and would constantly get harassed, ranging from people calling her a slut, to getting dress coded for no good reason, to rumors, to people assuming she’s a stuck up person.

when in university Lulu moved away from her overbearing dad, while also trying to move on from her mum, and tried to keep up her good girl persona and meet new people with a clean slate.

After meeting this guy, Lulu desperately wanted to be his friend, to rebel, instead of being the polite, good girl anymore, and went to this party, she starts going to parties getting drunk, going to raves, ect.

Lulu eventually fell in love with him, although he liked her as well, he was to shy to actually go through with it and made an excuse that his frat wouldn't allow it unless she joined this specific sorority, thinking she wouldn't go through with it.

but, she does - and the hazing is horrible. the girls in the sorority are worse than the girls in high school. It starts off as things like carrying sand in a backpack while sprinting to a set destination, to she has to be drunk or high throughout all her classes for a week, to completely deranged things like branding herself or slashing a professors tires. things nobody in their right mind would do, typically.

she got completely drunk, exhausted and completely blacking out, close to death. Her sorority friends, in their drunken state, thought she actually died and buried her.

Zalgo was stalking Lulu in her dreams every time she slept, it terrified her and eventually she tried staying up all night.

After gaining the strength with the help of Zalgo she dug herself out, she thanked him profusely, trusting him completely, up until He forcefully took her eyes as payment.

This was agonising and cemented in her mind that no one can be trusted.

Her powers include new wounds heal quickly but her past ones will never heal.

She can be seen eerily popping in and out of fog, in the fog she's also faster.

Lulu doesn't need food, water, or sleep. She does have increased strength but she's so mentally weak it doesn’t do much for her.

after Lazari ate a lot of her abdomen, she healed a lot of it, though she is permanently missing the organs. There’s a big scar where she was bit.

she inherited her heterochromia from her mum.

she still loves to read, her favourite genre is Horror and fantasy, because she's blind, she uses an iPod or lets Ann read to her.

she's constantly croaking, crying, wheezing and dripping blood from her wounds everywhere she goes.

She stayed in the hospital because it’s a secluded area where there's usually fog, only to encounter Ann, she wasn't expecting anyone but was terrified when she noticed someone was there and the blaring of a chainsaw.

Ann attacked her on sight, and they fought until eventually Nurse Ann realised Lulu wasn't a threat. They both eventually started talking and became friends out of convenience.

The forest near her school was rumoured to be haunted, and it was where she lost her eyes and resided for a few years.

After being left for dead, enveloped by the fog, she cursed everyone who wronged her. She stayed there for many decades.

She tried to target people with the same eye colours she used to have.

Her preferred weapon is an ice pick, Lulu had gotten it from one of her first victims while hiking.

she has no medical background so it took her a while to get the eyes out intact.

She's really smart streetwise and she's able to deceit her victims, able to put on a friendly facade in order to manipulate and trick her victims into falling directly into her trap.

She absorbs all the eyes she collects, once in the fog she opens her sockets and little eyes appear and help her see, which is why she can only see in the fog.

Lulu used to love cooking, her favourite to make was different kinds of soup, but now she doesn't trust herself to cook.

Because she developed at a young age, she would get cat called and sexually assaulted a lot of the time at school or during public transport.

She was born in 1960.

She cannot age and is stuck at 27.

She is very interested in other religions and is a Buddhist.

Lulu became very interested in psychology after becoming what she is.

She can be very rude to people, she puts up this facade in order to push people away.

She's actually a very shy person. She lacks social skills from her isolation after her mother died and having no friends, she isn't sure how to communicate in some situations. Large groups of people make her nervous and she panics.

She hates being touched and, if someone were to touch her in a way she doesn’t like, they'll send her into a panic attack that'll take hours to calm down from.

Nurse Ann taught her braille.

She really hates loud noises.

She’s fluent in Vietnamese, English, Mandarin and knows some French.

Filly Butterfly: Rainbow edition, Europe (Ukraine)

Egmont's Filly Magazine in Germany was releasing Rainbow Butterfly toys in late 2022. Now, besides Glitter Butterfly the same magazine covered, Rainbow Butterfly also comes to Europe, starting with Ukraine!

We have another round of some new characters (who are, yet again, recolours of Butterflys from 2014), their names are completely new and unique: Lulu (Tia's recolour), Pia (Alyssa's recolour), Nicki (Bea's recolour?), Ninel (Nina's recolour and names are similar), Valerie (Toby's recolour), Colette (Rhett's recolour), Amara (Jack's recolour? even Water group's mark is intact, which shouldn't be the case for Heart group...), Heidi (Lotus' recolour), Catriona (Freya's recolour).

Scarlet of course is kept, she's special character. Emma from Friendship Group and Sara from Flower Group are also remaining Butterflys from ~2014+ collection(s).

~2014+ series, for comparison

Also yes, Dracco does just 'remakes' of old characters with additional design elements now, at least since last Blue Ocean magazines in ~2021. Though for European 2023+ editions they at least change colours lol. I get it, it's hard to be a small toy company with financial struggles. At least they continue still~

As for the text of 2023+ flyer, it reads

''During magical hour in Papillia's forest, on most sunny day of the year, a special magical rainbow appears. If you follow it, Filly Butterfly come to Water Palace where Princess Scarlet makes special celebration for them. Fluttering near the rainbow, Fillys wings fill with various colours. That's how magical transformation into Rainbow Filly Butterfly happens! The celebration lasts whole day! Each pretty Filly dances - one after another - going in rounds, fluttering in the palace, showing their multicoloured wings! Incredible rainbow wings have magical power. They spread beams of happiness and luck for everyone the Filly meet on their way! Join Rainbowy Filly Butterfly and learn what magical surprises their new magic wings bring!''

No Filly Funtasia references this time

Okay, that's all for now! Be Filly!

For He Who Snatches

A Cult Leader!Snatcher x Reader Fanfic

Author's Note: This is incredibly inspired by Cult of the Lamb and Priest!Saltbaker by @surinnitthesecond on top of the handsome prince/shadow noodle that is Snatcher. I literally just thought up of this at the end of my shift at work, so I am not wasting any time and just going for it! Also, the reader will be referred to as “you/your/you're” - no gender identity is specified.

@tiramegtoons @lulu-baked-beans @medys-space @hotpinkboots @darkmedolie @lemonbaloni and everyone else who wants to read it!

Content Includes: Religious Cults (duh), Body Horror, “Satanic” Rituals (demonic but fictional, not based on real beliefs), Suggestiveness, Manipulation, and Reader Death

---

Your leader was badly injured, more so than you've ever seen before.

The entire community rushed to his aid. The ones who specialized in medicine wasted no time in patching up his wounds. You followed the healers in the hopes that he would recover without any trouble. As a loyal Subconite, you loved your leader. You trusted him with your life, and how could you not? He was the one who saved you from a meaningless existence, after all. You watched expectantly – worriedly – as he was laid across the makeshift mattress, wincing from the bruises and bloodstained cuts all over his body. To think, your leader journeyed his way through the Subcon Forest, slaying heretics and naysayers, all for you and your brethren.

If only there was something you could do to show him your unconditional gratitude.

You went over to a nearby table pour water into a clay cup. Surely, he must have been thirsty after all of that purging. As you were bringing the cup to your leader, you could not help but notice that he was watching you. It was as if King Midas himself touched his eyes, for they were shining gold. They gleamed underneath ragged, darkened bangs – a deep purple, almost ebony in color. You knew the sermons well: the leader was one of shadow. A mortal vessel brought back to life to spread the word of He Who Snatches. With this immense power, he guides his people into brotherhood, into glory, into salvation. Your leader was blessed. You hoped one day you will be blessed too.

“Thank you...” your leader spoke, his voice strained from pain. Delicately, you helped him raise the cup to his lips. He swallows the water greedily, gasping with every gulp. His thirst quenched, he laid back down. “Thank you...” he said again, breathing heavily, “These wounds... they will heal, but not as much as before. In fact... it is time...” You looked at him with anticipation; what exactly did he mean? “It is time to perform a sacred ritual. One that shall further our cause. Please, my kind friend... Tell the others. We shall gather within the temple at midnight.” You immediately obliged, leaving the shack to alert the community. Soon, everyone was in a frenzied commotion. Cries of the spiritual and devoted filled the air like birds chirping in the wind. Their daily chores became social activities where Subconites joyfully congregated. This lasted for the rest of the waning hours of daytime. Before you knew it, it was time.

You were the first to enter the temple with the rest following behind. There before the rows of benches and behind the skull-adorned podium was the leader. He held himself up by the podium – his injuries were still causing him pain. But his expression showed no weakness, only strength. Strength for his Subconites and for He Who Snatches. As everyone went to their seats, you awaited his latest sermon and his announcement of this ritual. Thoughts flooded your mind. You had no clue as to what ritual, or which ritual, your leader was speaking about earlier ago. But whatever it may be, in the end, you trusted him. You trusted him with your whole life. With a wave of his hands, raising them high above his head, he began his holy speech:

“My dear friends, Subconites of the Forest! It is with great pleasure to tell you all that the heretics – the fools who honor The Witch of Fire and Ice – are no more! Once again we are victorious, and soon we will rise against Her in the name of He Who Snatches! However, the path to triumph is no easy task. As you can all see, I am... physically weakened. I am powerful still, but not for long. In order to continue our fight against The Witch of Fire and Ice, we must commence a sacred ritual. A ritual to appease He Who Snatches and offer the ultimate trade. For my strength as His divine vessel... a soul must be snatched. One of you will be sacrificed, but this is a sacrifice of highest honor. For some of you all, I understand your trepidation – after all, death is mostly permanent. But with death comes a much greater purpose! More so than dedicating our lives and community in worship! Your soul will be one of many that is to come. In fact, this is not a time of mourning! This is a celebratory moment! We should be joyous of whoever shall be the sacrifice! Our souls are what pleases His Holiness; through me, we will all become one with Him. Through me, we are all His Strength.”

With slight struggle, the passionate leader went from his podium to walk among his followers. Everyone patiently watched as he approached them all, exuding an air of kindness. One by one, each Subconite was acknowledged, reassured by his empathetic presence. Some graciously bowed, some kissed his hand in appreciation. Your leader then walked up to you with those beautiful golden eyes. Immediately as you gazed upon his eyes, they shone with interest. A look as if he had found the answer to all his problems. Your heart skipped a beat. Warmth began to rise within your cheeks. With a dramatic flip of his cape, your leader pointed at you with a smile you knew all too well. “You! You, my friend, will be His soul to take!” he exclaimed with feverish rapture, “Come! Come! Let us all gather within the center of the temple! Let the ritual begin!”

You could not believe it. You of all Subconites! Chosen by His vessel as his sacrifice! Oh, what a night – what a joyous night! Your heart raced with such vigor, you thought you were about to faint in your leader's arms. But you did not; no, you didn't! You were awake still. You were not dreaming. You were holding hands with your beloved leader and everyone cheered for you! They cheered for your sacrifice! Instead of death, your mind was filled with thoughts of him. Only him.

And you were going to spend the rest of your life with him.

The candles were lit. The circle was drawn in blood. Hooded Subconites gathered around you and your leader. Strange, alien words echoed throughout the darkened temple, chanting to the beat of a small drum. Your hand still holding his, you marveled at this ritual. You could not be any more happier. “My friend...” your leader whispered to you, “Thank you for offering me water earlier ago. I appreciate it. In fact... Thank you for everything. For being here with me. I promise that your kindness will never be forgotten.” You smiled, tears flowing from your eyes. The chanting continued as your leader raised an ornate dagger from his holster, a sacrificial tool of fine steel and gold. He gently pulls you towards him, making you turn his back towards him. He presses himself against you. You could feel his rising and falling of his chest against your back. You jolt in surprise as he wrapped an arm around your waist, caressing your hip and stomach with a tenderness you never felt before. This closeness between you two was electrifying! Then the cold, steel blade touched your neck, ready for the kill. Subconsciously, as if by nature, you tilted your head back, letting out a comforted sigh. Soon, you and your leader's hearts and breathing were in sync with each other.

“Oh, Great Snatcher! We call to thee!

This soul is yours; soon it will be me!

Come to us and hear our plea!

Come to us and set us free!”

The cut was quick and clean. Your throat, now severed, bled profusely, leaving behind a crimson puddle below. A hand grabbed onto your hair, pulling your head even further, splitting the wound further apart, leaving you gasping and choking. Not that you were going to protest. As your knees buckled, your leader held on to your dying body and clasped his lips against your throat. The pain – oh, the pain – it was exquisite! In life, this was the closest thing to a kiss. As the circle glowed with dark magic and immersed your brethren into a spiritual frenzy, your flesh began to shrink and decay as your leader, your friend, consumed your soul bit by bit.

ok, so let's talk about Yuri Kuma Arashi, the manga version, i watched the first ep of the anime years ago, didn't understand a shit and stopped, i read the manga and i have plans to watch the anime itself... so, the manga broke my heart in a way i could not believe it was possible, wtf is this manga?! like, it have some weird things, but the story is fucking perfect (and tragic). This will have spoilers, big spoilers, if you don't like spoilers and enjoy Yuri, go read the manga, is short, can be read in a day and is perfect.

so, our protagonists, the main couple, Kureha and Ginko, they are the cutest couple ever, born to be a couple, their love is so cute and perfect, i want to huge both, specially Ginko, this girl needs therapy, a lot, she is just a baby bear that needs a hug.

like, Ginko have this whole psicological trauma because she killed someone by accident when she was a kid, and it was the mother of the girl she fucking loved, and the great love of her mother's life.

and the whole bear thing at least in the manga, is not real, it is something that exist only in Ginko and Kale (Ginko's mother) minds, it was something that Kale had, because she felt different from anyone else, she believed when she was a child, after she became 17, she would become a bear, never happened of course, so she started to believe that everyone is a bear, including her, but they are pretending to be human, Ginko being raised by someone like that also got it from her mom, so the whole bear thing? only in the mind (sometimes people will use the bear costumes). The only person Ginko see as a human is the girl she loves, Kureha, it was the same thing for kale, the only person she saw as a human was Kureha's mother, Reia

Like, maybe Kale started all this thing with bears because she was a lesbian and felt different from everyone, or not, it was my theory (that kinda falls apart, but it is something) and after she met Reia, things changed to her, it was the only person Kale acknowledges as a human, it was the love of her fucking life, she wanted to marry with Reia, she would do everything for her... and Reia married a guy that she liked, she didn't love the guy, she met him, had a summer love with him and decided to marry the guy just because. She acknowledge that it was a mistake after the marriage, because she noticed that she was in fact, in love with Kale (it was kinda too late, that single act destroyed Kale's life).

She kinda thought that the girl was straight, but ignored the possibility that Reia could be Bi and did something stupid, because Reia would had accepted the proposal. How Reia died was an accident, kinda. When Ginko and Kureha was children, Kureha got lost in the forest that had a lot of bears, Ginko decided to go help the girl, stole Reia's gun and went to find Kureha, when Reia find boths she makes so much noise that Ginko without knowing shoots and kills Reia, causing a giant trauma on Kureha, on herself, on Kale and on her aunt that was also in love with Reia, so... yeah, this manga talks a lot about trauma, like a lot. (Kale actually started to say that she killed Reia and devoured her like a bear).

This manga talks a lot about grief, the whole Kale's arc is about that, Lulu's arc too (her past made me want to die of sadness, like, wtf?!!), Yurika's arc too, she loved Reia, but after she died she started to fuck her brother's wife (Kale), i mean, both already had something before, but their relationship got a lot messier after. And Lulu? one of my favourite characters, she is in love with Ginko since she was a child, but their relationship started because she could not handle the grief and guilty of her little brothers death, it was an accident, but she felt guilty, because she was the responsible for him, so she kinda made Ginko her world after that. (she misses him so much that she have a teddy bear named after him and she takes care of it like it was him)

Lulu is so precious that i want to protect her from everything. Sumika is another favorite of mine, she does a lot, but as someone that helps Kureha to save Ginko, she helps everyone, all because she loves Kureha, she say to kureha that she loves her, but want to be a friend and... ouch, like, ouch. Just Imagine, you love this person, you love them so much that you would do everything for them to be happy... but this happyness will not be with you, and you know that since the beggining, that's Sumika in the manga, she helps Kureha a lot, part of the motive everything went well was because of her, and in the end she wanted to really have magic powers like people was saying about her, because that way she could make Kureha love her, it was really sad.

And the protagonist, Kureha, did everything she could to not only discover how her mother died, but did everything she could to save the girl she loved (Ginko was so depressed that i started to fear for her life), Kureha is an amazing character too, like, i probably love all the characters from this manga.

well, that's it, talked about everything i wanted about this manga, i reccomend, cannot say the same about the anime, not because the anime is bad, it is because it's 2 different stories, with 2 different objectives, i will watch the anime, maybe tomorrow.

Happy Lantern Rite!

[click image for better quality]

-lore rant under cut-

HOLY FUCK I HATE SHADING

Okay if you haven’t guessed by now or just don’t care, these three are the aged-up versions of the little pirate gang in Liyue Harbor. Little Fei(left), Little Lulu(middle), and Little Meng(right). (From the Pirates! Argh! achievement)

This is obviously years later when they’re young adults. The trio are still best friends, but their new occupations make it so they can’t meet up often. However, they will always be together during one of Liyue’s most important events: The Lantern Rite. These three will find a way to spend the festival together no matter what. Their favorite tradition is to walk around the harbor eating fried lotus root and fish smothered in Xiangling’s favorite Jueyun chili sauce while looking at the lanterns.

Here’s some extra stuff about the outfits because I can’t shut up about anything

Lulu is a fairly levelheaded girl. She has a good grasp on her people skills and knew from a young age what she likes and dislikes. When Ying’er eventually quit the Scent of Spring and opens her own perfumery, Lulu immediately lands herself an apprenticeship working there. Not only is she an excellent sales employee and negotiator, but Lulu is also invaluable when perfecting Ying’er’s more ambitious recipes. She has a delicate nose that is perfect for creating unusual and rare fragrances and a sharp mind that’s constantly churning out ideas on improving business.

She markets herself well and connects to new clients easily so they get the most out of their shopping experience. Ying'er is delighted to teach her the tricks of the trade and is quick to send Lulu on home visits to their wealthier clientele when she feels Lulu is ready. Lulu becomes well-versed in high society because of this. She had worked with Yanfei and Keqing on more than one occasion when their shop was hired to prepare self-care gifts for important guests who frequent Yujing Terrace. Lulu stayed in Liyue, but despite that, she could welcome any diplomat from any nation with no issue. Who knew that becoming a perfumer would lead to her joining the cutthroat world of socialites?

The thing is, Lulu draws on past experiences as inspiration for creating new recipes. She journals about interesting experiences or strange materials so she can look back through her notes when she needs them later. This is reflected in her design, which is the least complicated and changes very little from her original design in the game. Lulu keeps a strong hold on her childhood memories, which affects how she dresses and presents herself. Some socialites scoff at her simple dress and willingness to get her hands dirty, but Lulu has never minded a word they say. She works at a perfume shop, but she doesn't own one. Yet. How can they expect her to stay perfectly neat and tidy all the time? And prettier dresses would just get ruined.

Meng is actually the most stubborn one in the group. If Lulu knew how to read people, and Fei was the quieter one, Meng was the one who was bullheaded and stuck in his own world. This is obvious in the game when the two boys get into a fight about who got to be captain for their pirate play. It was mentioned Meng got to be captain a lot, while Fei never got a chance. Of course, he didn't mean any harm; they were kids, after all. But Meng finally got the chance to grow out of this phase when his father was approached with a business proposal. With it came the opportunity to go to Sumeru!

Still fairly young at this point, Meng's friends help him prepare for his journey. They're upset but promise to stay in touch until Meng returns, whenever possible. He researches endlessly so they're prepared for anything, and discovers a love for learning on the trip. He and his father meet Tighnari in Gandharva Ville, and the Forest Watcher guides them through the Avidya Forest. Tighnari quickly becomes Meng's new role model, and from this point onward, he was determined to help people just like the archer did. He absorbs things like a sponge, buying books from every stop they make and mailing them back to himself in Liyue Harbor. His father's work with mushrooms and other materials led him to take an interest in nature. The stop in Qingyang village was just the nail in the coffin.

Meng learns about people's steps to produce the high-quality teas his father loves so much. It's an interesting process, but the workers always have cracked and damaged hands. There isn't enough healing salve to go around, they explain. It's too expensive, and we can't make our own since the ingredients are rare. When Meng returns to Liyue Harbor, he studies up for the entrance exams and wins a scholarship to the Akademiya. Throughout his time at the school, he frequently takes up research projects that let him visit home. His experiments focus on providing affordable medications that can be bought or made no matter which region you were in. This mix of Liyue and Sumeru's Akademiya is reflected in his design. It's an intense mix of both the merchants of Liyue and the professors of Sumeru. He mostly travels in between those two nations, so his outfit is only influenced by those two nations. He's very put together and neat, wearing pants and minimizing accessories so he can work at the drop of a hat.

Fei always wanted to go to sea. Liyue is a nation of gold and history. Every rock and flower has a story to tell, and he felt like there were endless things to discover. The sea was just as mysterious, and he wanted to travel across those blue depths. In the game, it's obvious he looks up to Captain Beidou and wants to be a pirate captain like her. As the trio hits puberty, Fei's confidence grows, and he focuses his attention on learning how to be a sailor. Manager Xiao takes him under his wing (after some begging), and Fei flourishes in the dockyard. He teaches Fei about the finer points of dockyard maintenance and how to complete the paperwork for certain orders. Wrench Wang and Hammer Li show him the physical side of the job, like repairing leaks quickly when you're taking on water or how to align a keel the right way.

Eventually, Manager Xiao dies, so he's out of the job. Fei bounces around from ship to ship, eager to make himself useful. He learns to haul in crabs and fish for Uncle Gao and Uncle Sun, how to tar ropes and prepare sails from Captain Wei, how to preserve large batches of food from Chef Mao, manage resources even when he's at sea from Gou San'er and Ms. Yu, file the right permits for foreign merchants like Ivanovich, and Shitou and Bolai hire him to import precious goods. Uncle Tian shares his secret tricks for fishing, although Jiawei argues the advice is all wrong. Fei even helps Reekwind find his missing spear, which is a miracle in itself. Fei makes himself invaluable to his fellow seamen and traveling merchants, just like his two friends have done in their chosen professions.

His ability to work at any station on a ship has taken Fei all over Teyvat. He earns himself an electro vision like his idol, Captain Beidou, and becomes one of the youngest pirate captains in Liyue history. All this is reflected in his design. Fei wears bits and pieces from all the (currently available) nations of Teyvat. He's hung out with the Eremites, learned Inazuman fishing techniques, imported dandelion wines from Mondstadt, and still finds time to visit home regularly to see his friends. He's adorned himself with gold and small jewels-he is a pirate-and makes a pretty penny delivering extremely fresh produce. (Well, that's what it says on the legal documents. Sometimes the Qixing hire him to...dispose of other pirates or Fatui boats.)

In the end, the little pirate gang, who used to play around the ships all day, grows up to be some of the most influential people in the world of merchants. Lulu inherits Ying'er's store and spearheads a new line of beauty products shipped across Teyvat (at an affordable price, of course.) Ningguang recommends them personally, which definitely helped the process.

Meng graduates from the Akademiya with top marks and becomes famous for his research and humanitarian efforts. He revisits well-known medicinal formulas and recipes to improve their effectiveness, makes new compounds using common materials such as sweet flowers or mushrooms so they're available to everyone, and establishes both disaster relief and learning programs in multiple cities. (Because as long as the Traveler is around, Teyvat will need both programs to guarantee a good future.)

Fei never reaches the same heights of public infamy that Beidou does, but instead establishes a small fleet of new transport ships that are faster than a swordfish. Only the Waveriders, which are not made for long-distance travel, can compare. Fei holds a monopoly over several parts of the underground markets, which would get him arrested or captured if he didn't have extensive information about every shady merchant he ever worked with. :) If the other unsavory types wanted to land his ass in jail, he was taking them with him. Due to this iron grip and vast reach, Fei had no issue delivering materials to his friends or taking care of the dirty sides of their businesses. Whether they actually knew about that last part or not didn't matter.

All three leave behind a vast legacy that is continued for generations to come, benefitting Teyvat as a whole. The Traveler just wished they could play 'pirates' with the group one last time, but sometimes life gets in the way. All the Traveler could do was visit their graves, leaving blooming lotus blossoms behind as an apology.

Sometimes immortality was a curse.

So many books are launching this week! Are any of these YA books on your TBR pile? What have you been reading lately?

Fireworks by Alice Lin

Seventeen-year-old Lulu Li has her last summer before college all planned out. But her plans go awry when she learns that Kite Xu, her old next-door neighbor and childhood friend, will be returning home from South Korea.

Lulu hasn’t seen Kite since eighth grade, after he left the country to pursue a career in K-pop, eventually debuting in the boy group Karnival. When Karnival announces that Kite will be taking a break from K-pop activities for mysterious reasons, the opportunity to rekindle their friendship arises.

Star-struck and nostalgic, Lulu tries to reconnect with Kite. As they continue to bond and reminisce over the past, Kite’s sister, Connie, warns Lulu not to get too close to her brother. The harder Lulu tries to deny her feelings, the stronger they get. But how could a K-pop star ever fall for a nobody from home? And even if he did, is there any way for their relationship to end but badly?

TJ Powar Has Something to Prove by Jesmeen Kaur Deo

When TJ Powar—a pretty, popular debater—and her cousin Simran become the subject of a meme: with TJ being the “expectation” of dating an Indian girl and her Sikh cousin who does not remove her body hair being the “reality”—TJ decides to take a stand.

She ditches her razors, cancels her waxing appointments, and sets a debate resolution for herself: “This House Believes That TJ Powar can be her hairy self, and still be beautiful.” Only, as she sets about proving her point, she starts to seriously doubt anyone could care about her just the way she is—even when the infuriating boy from a rival debate team seems determined to prove otherwise.

As her carefully crafted sense of self begins to crumble, TJ realizes that winning this debate may cost her far more than the space between her eyebrows. And that the hardest judge to convince of her arguments might just be herself.

Out There Into the Queer New Yonder Edited by Saundra Mitchell

To conclude the trio of anthologies that started with critically acclaimed All Out and Out Now, Out There features seventeen original short stories set in the future from fantastic queer YA authors.

Explore new and familiar worlds where the human consciousness can be uploaded into a body on Mars…an alien helps a girl decide if she should tell her best friend how she feels…two teens get stuck in a time loop at a space station…people are forced to travel to the past or the future to escape the dying planet…only a nonbinary person can translate the binary code of a machine that predicts the future…everyone in the world vanishes except for two teen girls who are in love. This essential and beautifully written collection immerses and surprises with each turn of the page.

Zyla & Kai by Kristina Forest

While on a school trip to the Poconos Mountains (in the middle of a storm) high school seniors, Zyla Matthews and Kai Johnson, run away together leaving their friends and family confused. As far as everyone knows, Zyla and Kai have been broken up for months. And honestly? Their break up hadn’t surprised anyone. Zyla and Kai met while working together at an amusement park the previous summer, and they couldn’t have been more different.

Zyla was a cynic about love. She’d witnessed the dissolution of her parents’ marriage early in life, and it left an indelible impression. Her only aim was graduating and going to fashion school abroad. Until she met Kai.

Kai was a serial monogamist and a hopeless romantic. He’d put a temporary pause on his dating life before senior year to focus on school and getting into his dream HBCU. Until he met Zyla.

Alternating between the past and present, we see the love story unfold from Zyla and Kai’s perspectives: how they first became the unlikeliest of friends over the summer, how they fell in love during the school year, and why they ultimately broke up… Or did they? Romantic, heart-stirring and a little mysterious, Zyla & Kai will keep readers guessing until the last chapter.

Empress Crowned in Red (Witches Steeped in Gold #2) by Ciannon Smart

Iraya, her revenge taken and magic unfettered, turns her sights on a bigger goal: freeing Aiyca for the Obeah. But first she must shed the guise of the rogue warrior and become the Lost Empress her people need.

Jazmyne has crowned herself the doyenne and is prepared to go to extreme lengths—and court ruthless danger—to prove to her people she deserves the throne.

But there is more at stake than Jazmyne or Iraya know: a new threat is awakening on the other side of the island that could destroy everything they’ve been fighting for. Trust is scarce, and betrayal a breath away. But Iraya and Jazmine once again find themselves turning to each other—after all, better the witch you know than the nightmare you don’t.

The Signs and Wonders of Tuna Rashad by Natasha Deen

Let’s be clear. No matter what her older brother, Robby, says, aspiring screenwriter Tuna Rashad is not “stupidstitious.” She is, however, cool with her Caribbean heritage, which means she is always on the lookout for messages from loved ones who have passed on. But ever since Robby became a widower, all he does is hang out at the house, mock Tuna for following in their ancestors’ traditions, and meddle in her life.

Tuna needs to break free from her brother’s loving but over-bearing ways and get him a life (or at least, get him out of hers!). Based on the signs, her ancestors are on board. They also seem to be on board with helping Tuna win over her crush, Tristan Dangerfield. The only hiccup? She has to do it before leaving for college in the fall. A ticking clock, a grief-stricken brother, and a crush who doesn’t believe in signs. What could possibly go wrong?

If You Still Recognise Me by Cynthia So

Elsie has a crush on Ada, the only person in the world who truly understands her. Unfortunately, they’ve never met in real life and Ada lives an ocean away. But Elsie has decided it’s now or never to tell Ada how she feels. That is, until her long-lost best friend Joan walks back into her life.

In a summer of repairing broken connections and building surprising new ones, Elsie realises that she isn’t nearly as alone as she thought. But now she has a choice to make…

The Raven Witch: Chapter 9

Read on AO3 First Chapter, Second Chapter, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8

Luz was sitting down on the floor going through a list of possible names for her little demon. Lilith was cooking food in the kitchen. The little demon was laying down on the one clear spot on the coach. Hooty was taking a nap outside.

"Human, dinner," Lilith said. Luz looked up and saw that the witch was carrying three plates. She placed two of the plates on the coffee table. She then placed the last one on the couch by the demon. She still gave him a weary look.

"What do you think of Spot?" Luz asked. Lilith did a double take as she sat down next to her.

"Uhm...for what?" Lilith questioned.

"For a name for him," Luz said. She gestured towards the demon who was looking at the food in confusion.

"Spot?" Lilith questioned. Luz sighed and slouched.

"I suck at names. My own witchsona's name is Luzura. It's literally Luz and Azura smooshed together." Luz grumbled. Lilith hummed and began to eat.

"You'll figure it out," Lilith said. Luz sighed.

"I know. I just want everything to be perfect." Luz moaned. Lilith nudged Luz.

"It doesn't have to be perfect. Not to mention it takes time. It took me a week to come up with a name for Branwen." Lilith said. The white raven flew over and perched on the witch's shoulder. The bird chirped its agreement. Lilith hummed and pet the bird.

"You named Branwen?" Luz asked

"I made Branwen." Lilith said

"Do I get to make my own palisman?" Luz asked eagerly.

"Maybe focus on one thing at a time." Lilith hummed. Luz huffed and crossed her arms. "Eat your food."

The two of them sat eating. They would occasionally bring up some wild magic information. Overall it was a pleasant meal.

~~~

Luz picked up the little demon and headed outside.

"Where ya going?" Hooty asked

"Out, I'm going to explore the woods," Luz explained.

"Lulu doesn't like you going out on your own," Hooty said

"I'm not on my own. I have him." Luz said. She dangled the little demon in front of Hooty.

"Ok," Hooty said. Luz went deep within the forest. She set down the demon on a stump and watched the video of Lilith doing a light spell on her phone.

Luz followed along with the video but nothing happened. The human did the motion several times with no result. The little demon looked at her in confusion.

"This is all she does. Why you gotta be so cryptic, Lilith? But if I don't have a magic sac, what's the point? I'll just be twirling my fingers around unmagically forever." Luz said in frustration. She sat down looking at her phone. "I know Lilith says to be patient and do research but I want to do magic now. What if it takes years for us to figure out a way for me to do magic?"

Luz flopped down to lay on the ground. She covered her eyes. The demon moved towards her. He sat down beside her. Luz looked over at the demon. She gave him a small smile and began to pet him. The demon tensed but then leaned into the touch.

"At least I can make some potions," Luz reassured herself. "Azura made becoming a witch so easy." She closed her eyes allowing herself to just enjoy the sun of the Boiling Isles.

~~~

"Hooty, where's the human?" Lilith asked. She looked over at her crystal ball. The Forcast Coven predicted that there was a fast-moving storm coming and an extremely strong one at that. The sky was already darkening.

Lilith had expected to see Luz on the living room floor playing with her new pet but she wasn't. Yes, she could be elsewhere in the house but she had a bad feeling.

"Luz is out," Hooty said. Lilith wanted to scream.

"Please tell me she was at least meeting her friends." Lilith sighed. If she was going to be with her friends then there was a chance one of the witch's parents would contact them and tell them about the storm.

"She had the cute little demon," Hooty said. Lilith couldn't stop the growl from leaving her throat. She held out her hand and summoned her staff.

"I'm going after her before she can be fried. Watch the house. The shield I put up last time should return. If not I'll put it back up when I get back. Stay here." Lilith said. With that, she mounted her staff and flew towards the woods.

~~~

Luz wasn't sure how long she lay there. Though it couldn't have been longer than a minute. The little demon began to frantically move against her. She opened her eyes to see that the sky was dark. She didn't think that she was laying long enough for it to become night. The little demon was still frantic tugging on her trying to get her to move. Then there was the telltale sound of a hiss.

A loud boom sounded and the rain began to pour down. A couple of drops of rain fell on Luz and she grunted in pain. The little demon scurried up her trying to get away from the rain. Luz gathered him and her phone. She then started to run through the forest occasionally making sounds of pain as the rain burned her.

Luz kept tripping and falling with it being too dark to see. Then she quickly grabbed her phone. It was still on the video of Lilith. She turned on her flashlight. She returned to running but she couldn't remember which way the house was. The hot water began to mess with her phone. This caused the flashlight to turn off.

"Nonononono," Luz said under her breath. She looked at her phone to try and fix the issue. She saw that in Lilith's spell circle was a symbol. "What?" The demon looked up curiously.

She grabbed a leaf and a pen she had. She didn't even notice the sting of the boiling rain. She drew it and tapped the drawing. The leaf crumbled up and became a ball of light. Luz stared at it in amazement.

"I just did magic," Luz exclaimed in glee. A loud boom sounded reminding the human of where she was. "Right celebrate later get out of the storm first."

"Luz" Came the distant call of Lilith.

"Lilith!" Luz cried. She began to move over to where she heard the witch's voice come from. Lilith was flying towards her. A blue shield over her. She looked relieved to see them. She picked up Luz and began to fly in the opposite direction.

"Luz, what on earth were you thinking? Leaving without telling me and on your own. You nearly got yourself killed." Lilith lectured. Luz flinched back.

"Sorry," Luz muttered. Lilith sighed.

"I'm not mad, I'm just concerned," Lilith admitted.

"I won't do it again," Luz promised.

"What was that light orb that was following you?" Lilith asked changing the topic. Luz got an excited look on her face.

"I did magic!" Luz exclaimed.

"What?" Lilith asked. She turned around and looked at the human in shock. The shield faltered allowing the rain to hit them. Lilith flinched and redid the shield. "You'll have to show me how when we get back."

The wind began to blow hard causing the rain to hit them from the side making the shield obsolete. Lilith tightened her grip on her staff. Luz wrapped an arm around the witch's waist and tightened her grip on the little demon that was digging his claws into her clothes and her phone. The wind seemed to be trying to knock them off of the staff. It also seemed to be pushing them off route. Lilith continued to help reset the direction.

Eventually, they arrived at the house with the blue shield up. They demounted and rushed into the house.

"Lulu, I got you the first aid kit and towels," Hooty said. Lilith gave the house demon a small smile.

"Thank you, Hootcifer," Lilith said. She grabbed the towels and handed two to Luz and began to dry herself off. Luz helped the little demon and then herself dry off.

Once Lilith was as dry as she could manage, the witch began to gently check over Luz. She drew a spell circle and began to heal her. Once she was done healing her she picked up the little demon much to his shock.

"Why don't you show me how you did magic," Lilith said. She drew a spell circle and began to heal him.

"Right," Luz said. She jumped up and scrambled to grab a piece of paper. She began to draw the glyph in clear view of the witch. Lilith recognized the glyph.

"Interesting, that is a constellation over the knee," Lilith said.

"Really!" Luz exclaimed.

"Yes, how did you find it," Lilith said.

"It was on my phone when it glitched out due to the hot rain..." Luz started in excitement then trailed out. "Uhm...do you have any rice?"

"In the kitchen top cabinet. Hootcifer can you help her?" Lilith said.

"Thank you," Luz said. She hurried over to the kitchen.

"On it." Hooty agreed. He stretched his neck...body to the kitchen.

Lilith turned her attention to the little demon. He was all healed now primarily being protected from the rain by Luz. The witch set him down on the couch and placed a blanket over him so he wouldn't get cold.

Luz returned with her phone in a bag of rice.

"So back to what I was saying. I just tapped it and wa la." Luz said. She tapped the paper and it crumpled up becoming a ball of light.

"Incredible. I have never seen anything like that before.” Lilith said

~~~

King pulled out his mirror communicator in an empty room. Lu...the human was busy drawing the light glyph and Lilith was analyzing. So he was able to check in with Eda.

"Eda," King said. Eda then appeared in the mirror. The witch smiled.

"I'm glad to hear from you," Eda said. King couldn't help but puff up at the comment. "Do you have any news?"

"Lilith has a soft spot for a human girl and her house demon," King said. Eda then frowned.

"From what I have heard the demon is more than formidable. Tell me of the human girl." Eda said. King didn't want to. Luz was nice even if it was weird. Even Lilith, who was clearly weary of his presence. He didn't have to do anything for them. Granted they thought he was just some random pet.

"She's curious about magic." King started. "She tends to wander off without Lilith."

"Hmm, offer to teach her new magic that Lily couldn't imagine when the human is alone. Lily will then follow her." Eda said. "Not sure about all the details but keep up the good work, King." Eda then hung up. King again felt pride. He hid his mirror and turned around only to be met with the two inhabitants.

Lilith had a look of anger on her face. He could practically feel the chill coming off her. Luz on the other hand looked hurt and devastated. That hit King harder than he thought.

"You were spying on me for my sister, King." Lilith snapped. She had practically spat out his name as if it was poison.

"Uh." King started but he couldn't think of what to say. He knew that telling the witch that her sister was concerned wouldn't get him out of this mess.

"I trusted you," Luz muttered. Luz turned around and walked away. Lilith grabbed him and dragged him out of the house. It didn't hurt physically but it definitely tugged at something in his heart. She placed him out the door.

"If you come anywhere near us again I will sick Hooty on you." Lilith snarled. With that, she slammed the door.

some more on my beloved lu:

-has one of those adorable stifled kitten sneezes 🥺🥺 the rest of the nordix mock him relentlessly for it

-except for skiing, a very indoorsy person. would much rather be on his sofa reading his book with a cup of coffee than outside.

-takes his coffee black! he used to put cream in it but one time he forgot to sniff the creamer and it came out in a chunk and traumatized him ;-;

-as I’ve said, killer sweet tooth, but his favorite sweet thing isn’t some traditional dessert or anything it’s just fuckin Oreos. Man can plow through a sleeve of Oreos like nothing

-worlds largest ugly sweater collection. Wears NOTHING but jeans and baggy sweaters, and ofc a suit and tie at meetings. if it’s hot out he just forgoes the sweater and wears an undershirt. favorite sweater is a matching “I’m he’s” one he has with Matthias’ “he’s i’s”

-his hair is naturally wavy/curly! he straightens it but can’t get the short pieces around his neckline so it’s still curly there. is cute.

-always smells kind of like cedar and moss. a very natural, fresh smell, like the forest in winter.

-known for his RBF in public but is VERY expressive at home. very smiley and lovey but still with a very wry sense of humor. Matthias’ favorite thing is this little wiggly thing lu does when he drapes a warm blanket over him uwu.

-I’ve posted about this before but his love language is touch!!!! loves to have just. Full body contact with whoever he’s with. Sleeps directly on top of Matthias, loves to cuddle up with Timo on movie nights(he is comfy after all), bothers the hell out of eirí by just picking him up and holding him at random.

-loves to be picked up himself, very fond of pretending to fall asleep in the living room/kitchen/car so Matt will pick him up and bring him to bed. Was worried when he gained weight that Matt wouldn’t be able to carry him any more but Matt was like “lulu. my love. my sun and stars. i’m the semi-immortal human manifestation of the kingdom of denmark. I can pick you up.”

-can’t sing at all but he can play the violin very well! he has very long, slender fingers so he’s perfect for it.

-the cross hair clip is only one of many little clips to keep his bangs back! a few other favorites include one with a seashell, one with silver leaves, and an absolutely garish bright pink heart hairclip he got from poland during the 2005 secret santa.

-trashy drunk. as soon as he has a few drinks in him, the pants come off and the karaoke machine turns on.

Lukas J. Verino - Character Sheet

Name: Lukas Jade Verino

Nickname(s): Lulu, JJ/JV (Highschool)

Age: 23

Birthday: April 19th, 1999

Profession: 'Contracted' to a club as a live feed source. (Grim's.)

Past: Lukas grew up just outside the city limits of Knightvail, close to the mountains and farmland. When he was around 15, a bad storm went well past expected progression and flooded a majority of the area, ruining any chances of farming. His already-strained home life went from bad to worse when his family was forced to move into temporary housing and his father picked up a drinking habit. By the time they were able to move, they did so without Lukas in mind; choosing a single bedroom and giving him the option of a storage closet or the streets.

By the time he was seventeen, the abuse had become too much to handle and he wanted to be anywhere other than 'home'. He started roaming the streets and hanging out at dive bars and diners; whatever he could find open for the night and wherever wouldn't pay him any mind.

One night, he was met with an offer, a shimmering needle full of vampire blood and a smooth-talking, pretty-faced vampire. He turned them down but it didn't take much convincing for him to give in.

Lukas spiraled into insatiable addiction, over and over again to get his re-up until one day, the vampire inquired about payment. When he asked how much he owed, the number towered over him at a million dollars and he finally realized what had happened. They trapped him and hooked him without him even knowing they'd ever require payment. He'd been too naive to think it was free.

Days before his 18th birthday, Lukas was kidnapped and taken to the place he'd spend the next five years of his life. After as little as three weeks of training, he was deemed floor-ready and his first raffle was purchased by Sang Lee but gifted to another vampire.
