Happy Non-binary Parents Day!

Shout out to my friend Ully who joined me for coffee this past Friday while I was working on this and gave me the ideas to put a face on the guiscar and to add Eda in the background, helped me figure how to situate King (thanks to having much more toddler experience than me), AND posed in the doorway of the coffee shop to give me a reference for Eda. Honestly, I am in their debt 😂. (Happy Non-binary Parents Day @madeofmydreams and thank you ❤️❤️❤️!)

as the OG source of the A Little Kindness AU aka Raine adopting Hunter I would LOVE to know how you would change it to be canon compliant. i mean obviously the reveal would be after everything, but god just imagine Hunter worrying about his anonymous friend/caretaker and he finds out its the FUCKING OWL LADY'S PARTNER and hes just so happy theyre ok and to know who helped him out all the time but also OH TITAN LUZ IS GONNA BE HIS SISTER EVEN MORE NOW!

~adoption anon

the little gray box who started it all!!!! welcome back

good lord there would be so many overhauls...just so incredibly many I gotta try to break it all down to smaller sections to even get. a glimpse

1) okay so as we have learned Raine was NOT, in fact, under any mind control, just pulling the biggest brained move on Snapdragon she ever did see. so raine doesn't even go missing in the first place, if anything they might halt the notes altogether but still remain in the castle just because they were under constant vigilance and meeting eda again mightve made them triply afraid of getting other people involved with their work. hunter stresses about it, as you do, but flapjack isn't freaking out cause HE'S seen raine's face, and he knows that they're fine, but he has no idea what happened, so Hunter is less concerned since Flapjack isn't. not by a lot tho.

2) so INSTEAD of Hunter booking it to Luz to plead for help on some criminals, he instead takes all of this suppressed fear and worry and stress and just kinda. balls it up. and then shoves all of it out in the open during Eclipse Lake. he goes HARD trying to get that Titan's Blood and the thing where he tried to relate to Amity over being a failure? he doubles down on that shit TREMENDOUSLY and their shared failing to live up to what other ppl wanted and pushing away their friends (granted Amity actually pushed Willow away to try and help, Hunter didn't push Raine away he just thought he did). you think his breakdown in Eclipse Lake was concerning? hes about to make it even more concerning. hes very very afraid for Bat and he would really rather they hate him than anyone found out they'd been talking to him and they got murdered, so he better try and beat the shit out of Amity! if Belos is pleased with him, maybe he'll hesitate on whatever punishment Bat might be having right now

3) Raine, bless 'em, keeps trying to help Hunter how they can, dropping these tiny hints they don't mean to drop. Hunter's part of setting up and preparing everything for the Coven Day Parade and Raine is noticeably always checking in on the Golden Guard. we know now that Hunter started showing his face more after the Palisman incident, but Raine isn't seen around often, so I imagine it's around the Coven Day Parade that they finally see what Hunter looks like--and good lord that IS a literal teenager what the hell did they DO TO HIM---alright scrap all the plans. darius, eberwolf, change of plans. everything stays the same, but we're kidnapping Hunter on the way out

4) Any Sport in a Storm is pretty much the same, Hunter is just even antsier & more desperate to get these new friends to like him bc. Bat. and also punts Darius twice as hard. Darius for his part is only marginally nicer because he knows Raine's weirdly attached to this little rat of a child--oh wait nvm he sees why now. alright valid point. Darius is a firm believer in "for the love of god just tell him you're Bat it will save everyone a lot of stress" but unfortunately Raine subscribes to "if anyone i really care about is within fifty feet of me we are All Going To Die"

5) mostly everything would stay the same in Hollow Mind, i think? Raine, Darius and Eberwolf might actually go up to the Owl House and speak when Hunter and Luz get trapped in Belos's mind since its both Raine and Darius that are stressed as fuck over the kid? in that instance then everyone teams up much quicker (and in confusion) but Hunter still books it out at fast speeds into the woods and somehow makes it to Hexside. he's a slippery little bastard, but luckily now theres a whole gang teamed together to track him down and hes found by Darius pretty quickly after the Owl House is evacuated and torn apart. however Hexside is VERYYYYY on edge over coven heads claiming to want to "help" and "have betrayed the Coven" so they're all beating Darius back like a rabid raccoon and Hunter thinks he's here to kill him. so thats fun. eventually Darius gives up, scruffs Raine, and throws them down at Hexside and demands they finally clear shit up. its a very cute scene of Raine sneaking in and slipping little notes under the door of whatever classroom Hunter's hiding for his life in, wherein he realizes Bat's come back. and Hunter's finally brave enough to yank open the door to---RAINE?????

6) more stuff that mostly stays the same. Hunter however is very stressed over Raine when they're trapped in the human realm which eventually leads to him and Luz talking a lot and him realizing "im sorry waht the fuck do you MEAN that the owl lady and raine whispers were a THING??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERES STILL SOMETHING THERE????" but above all i want to fuck this boy up so insanely bad and at least give him a GLIMPSE of Raine's puppet body being possessed by Belos. even if there is no interaction other than Hunter seeing them for a brief flash I know in my heart that would fuck him up so bad. he would blame himself so so much. Belos really here to kill everything he loves before he can finally be free huh

7) MOST importantly they finally get to hug when everyones reunited and hunter feels SO INCREDIBLY GUILTY when he sees all the fresh new scars Raine has courtesy of Belos. to which Raine, in peak parent fashion, just goes "nah, i dont mind 'em. now we match :]" and Hunter's just god u are missing the point so badly but i'll let it slide. how'd you know my new scars were from belos. and raine just stares like "how did i know your new scars were from WHAT????? oh im so glad i killed his ass" "YOU DID WHAT"

And here is the final product of this silly piece! I love it to death!

Important details to note:

- king is practicing his titan magic more, though he likes adventuring with Eda so he has a magic cape like Luz did.

- hooty and the collector are good friends now. Collie covered him in stars. He loves it

- Luz is trying to show Raine into the human realm more, it’s taking a lot of coaxing from Eda because they’re rather cautious of the idea.

- Raines necklace is from Camila. It has smooth gold coloured beads and a small satchel of lavender to soothe any anxiety they face

- Raines bracelet is from Vee. It’s make of amethyst. Masha suggested it for them because amethyst helps to ward off bad feelings, and has helped my anxiety in the past.

raine and king bonding cuz we (i) need more content of them

Lilith and Alador have a chat

the autism won today boys, behold this atrocity.

Raine being as obsessed with pleasing king as lilith was but in a child way, giving him toys, playing him lullabies, playing games with him etc. then when king is like "you don't have to do this just cause I'm the titan's son" and Raine is like "you're the titan's son? I was doing this cause you're eda's son. I want to impress you and luz as much as I do eda

Plan:

1. Go to Demon Realm

2. Accidentally acquire bonus parents

3. Found family baby—

Eda: Hunter got his first detention, I'm so proud.

Raine: Whoa, back up. Why did he get detention?

Darius: Because he was being an idiot.

Camila, terrified: He can do that??

Hunter would not accidentally call camilla or darius or eda or raine of any of his 203729592 new parents "mom" or "dad" or whatever. Hes never had parents before. When he calls them that it would be 100% intentional.

Similarly, his parents calling him "son" also has to be intentional. Camila didnt have any sons. And eda never calls king that she just calls him by his name. Darius and raine didnt have any kids period. It just wouldnt be a habit they have and they wouldn't call hunter that by slipping up.

How you ACTUALLY know hunter is part of the family now is when camila and eda start accidentally calling hunter the names of their other kids. Eda wants him to do laundry so she yells up the stairs "king do the laundry" and realizes hunters name is not king so she yells "luz do the laundry" and then wonders why hunter didnt come downstairs. Raine cycles through all three of their students before remembering hunters name. Camila cycles through the names of everyone in the hexsquad before getting to hunters. Darius doesnt do this bc he doesnt have any other kids but he sure calls hunter eberwolf a few times

Moonlight Au-Prologue

Raine jogs down the the street in an attempt to beat the boiling rain home, when they suddenly hear... Crying? The noise seems to me coming from an alleyway they had just passed and they stop their pursuit. They peer around the corner cautiously and lay eyes on the last thing they would suspect; a child. "Oh my Titan," gasps Raine, startling the no older than 6 year old kid, sat in the far corner. As the kid flinches in surprise at their sudden appearance, Raine heat breaks in two. "A child?!" Thought Rain to themselves, "Alone, in an alleyway in this weather, at all!"

They took a small step towards the child, getting a look of fear in return, making Raine frown. "I'm not going to hurt you, I promise sweetheart," says Raine as calmly and as sweetly as possible, trying not to scare the child more, but is quite terrified themselves. Raine's terror only increases as the feel the first few drops of the scorching hot rain fall from the gray, ominous sky. Raine casts a spell, protecting themselves from the rain, and rushes towards the child, not wanting them to get hurt. The child shrinks as small as they can, letting out a muffled sobb, clearly terrified.

"Hey, its okay sweetie, I'm just trying to help," Raie say quietly, stopping their movement once try are close enough to the child to cover them in the spell completely. Raine looks into their eyes with a look filled with worry and sympathy, receiving a look of pure shock and increasing trust from the child. Raine smiles at the look I the child's emerald green eyes and speaks their next sentence softly, "The rain is supposed to last a few days, if you want," Raine takes a deep breath before speaking again, "you could stay at my house until the rain is over... Or for as long as you need to?" Emotions fade in and out of the childs eyes, never lasting for longer than a second as they seemingly consider their offer, before nodding slowly, their eyes finally landing on a look of partial trust and a look that says their desperate. Raine smiles and scoops up the kid in their arms, reassuring them while they quickly walk to their house, not knowing how much longer the spell will last.

Once Raine makes it inside their house, the child still in their arms, they set set them down gently on the couch, only to realize they were dead asleep. Raine chuckles softly, grabbing the closet blanket and covering them up with it, a sweet smile on their face while they do so. After covering the child with a blanket, they start a fire in the fireplace, before sitting down next the the child, wanting to be there when they wake up to avoid any panic attacks or meltdowns. Within minutes they find themselves nodding off and they try to fight it, but the sound of the rain and the fireplace going in the background, they inevitably fall asleep.
