MARCIA SIBLINGS AU I can't remember how it was in the old version but in the new and improved 2023 version she is the youngest child <3 she has 2 older siblings one sister and one vaguely genderless individual and they r twins <3 they're like 6-7 yrs older than her and both were super supportive of her learning magyk and helped her hide it from their parents. They got found out rlly quickly unfortunately and when marcia was 8 her siblings got into a massive fight w their parents and took her and left. They move into the same room in the ramblings Marcia stays in when she's a Hopeful/apprentice in canon (next to the heaps) and her sister is bffs with silas and marcia thinks silas is So Cool bc he's older and rlly likes magyk. Her siblings try and talk to her abt magyk but they don't rlly care abt it all that much so silas is her Favourite Person right after her magyk teacher at school. Her sister works at the manuscriptorium and her sibling tailors clothes for ppl. Btw. She becomes a Hopeful the same as canon except she's just staying at home she's not dramatically moved out like she did in canon. Right up until silas quits his apprenticeship and eventually she gets the offer and ofc she accepts. But silas quit bc of the draw and the darke week and he told her siblings abt it and so when she comes home with the news they're all like oh well maybe u actually shouldn't do this, maybe u should think abt it. And she takes massive offence and everything escalates and she leaves home to live in the wizard tower and doesn't talk to her siblings again for almost her entire apprenticeship (she sees them a few times and they try and talk and she brushes them off bc she's still upset) and it's when alther+the queen die that they rlly desperately try and get in contact. And this is the major change from canon bc she actually lets them and after they explain why they said what they did and everyone apologises for being kind of shitty, they r once again a family <3 and marcia is not. Having to take on the responsibility of being eow all on her own and actually has time to grieve and process and eventually somewhat heal. And she can't take down the custodian (I am taking what marcia says in magyk v seriously) but she does sort of. Funnel kids out of the ya. Every single kid that is sent to guard the wizard tower ends up disappearing and eventually it's basically known among the kids as a death sentence. Jenna gets found out much sooner bc the custodians were investigating ppl Marcia might be close to/consider trustworthy and its v well known that her sister is besties w silas heap. The guy who has a daughter who looks exactly like every princess ever. And so the events of magyk happen earlier and teeny tiny 412 is outside the tower bc he acted out after losing 409 and he is Terrified. And I'm head empty on exactly what happens but I think he doesn't officially get adopted or apprenticed or anything bc. Even marcia can't justify making a 7 yr old an ExtraOrdinary Apprentice. But he just sort of lives in the wizard tower and marcias siblings homes and the heap room and the palace. Everyone is happy and nothing bad happens the end <3
OUGH OUGH I love this *cries*
families...... overresponsible siblings............ tiny 412.... Marcia Silas hero worship. UGH

[ PREV. CHAPTER ] | [ M. LIST ] | [ NEXT CHAPTER ]
Tumblr media
In a family of four, the grand manor is typically too massive of a place to frolic about considering the children are, now more than ever, entering the wobbly world of adulthood. Lady Park isn't at all saddened, not even the slightest, of the lack of silly beings bouncing around the halls. Her three blissful children are more than enough to fulfill the abundance needed to fill up these wide walls of comfort.
With wild banters resonating from the top floors to the angry cries of frustration and bullets being fired in the grassy yard, boisterous laughters even in the parlour and magnificent tunes from the pianoforte in the lobby, who would've thought the widowed lady only has three creatures in the solace of her household?
But of course, despite the few kiddos giddily leaping around and about the toughly cemented abode, the house never once lacked a single servant happily offering their services to the ever most humble aristocratic family. They rather consider it as the greatest honor to have even worked in this clan as they, amongst the fewer fews, have exuded nothing but kindness, generosity, and upholding of such exquisite manners despite their highly-acclaimed titles and places in Northumberland’s high-class society.
It’d be a blessing to be affiliated with the three children and whoever be so lucky to earn such fortune is very favored in life indeed. One would say they and the Yang family have always been the highly influential clans even of late and who wouldn't dare say? The two rich families have been one of the greatest friends of the city. Even their children could almost pass as siblings due to the tight-knit bond they shared over the years. Kindred spirits, I dare say.
This season will duly prepare the fine and charming jewel of the family, Lady Y/n, as the debutante’s ball is coming up briefly. A day well spent in the modiste is a woman's dainty bliss as the perfectly sewn dress is finally ready for appealing suitors and the royalty herself, the Queen.
“You look nothing more than gorgeous, sister. Madame Fleur has outdone herself again with another splendid piece.” Jay, the eldest of the family, pinches the silky fabric while gently pulling it upwards to gain better access to the dress’ features.
“Thank you, Jay. Although I admit, the measurements in the waist are a bit funny.”
“I wouldn't doubt that. It is Mother’s liking to keep your corset tight and deadly.” The eldest rubs his chin in contemplation. “Rest assured if you need any assistance in loosening that wretched piece of torture, Niki and I will be of help at the ball.”
“Again, brother, thank you. And speaking of help, where's Niki? He was supposed to help me with my waltz today.”
"I have no idea. Last I saw him he was with Daniel. Shouldn't he be home by now?"
Without any warning, the youngest comes dashing into the parlour like a carefree prince who just had the best slumber of his life.
“I’m right here. Forgive me, dear sister, for my unannounced absence in today's dance practice. I shall have you know, the Duke’s son sent us an invitation this morning. One that Daniel and I,” the two eldest eye him suspiciously, awaiting a usual remark whenever the topic is about the marquess. “refused to reject… surprisingly.” Niki clicks his tongue before proceeding to join his siblings on the cushioned couch.
“Shocker. Tell me, brother, was your day positively horrific?” Jay sarcastically huffed. “Oh, you don't have the slightest idea.” The two boys joined together for a rather boisterous laugh that made the only lass cross her arms as she sits between the two brothers.
“How’s life treating Park?” Jay questions. “Oh, you know. The usual. Living in luxury as well as wasting it away. He seemed more ashen lately.” Niki downs a glass of water that was resting on the coffee table.
After a few more barbs and laughs against the Duke’s only son, Y/n decides to butt in as time’s a wastin. “Apologies for the intrusion, but it’s necessary for me to rehearse for the dances I might have in two days' time, unlike you two who are accustomed to sweeping girls off the dance floor. Come, Niki, before mother sees me to bed.”
Tumblr media
In the middle of an exhausting rehearsal with his sister, Niki sits down on the edge of Y/n’s bed with both hands leaning on the mattress. “You could've asked Jay.” he mutters under his breath.
It's not that the boy was complaining to teach waltz, it was more of trying to keep himself away from social interactions for the time being as he felt the need to mope again after a long while.
“True, I could have. But I haven't seen you wandering about the house today. Except this morning when I was awakened by your harsh firing in the garden.” Y/n looks over her shoulders to give a playful glare at the nearly knackered, blonde-haired lad. “How was your day, Riki?”
“Don’t call me that.” He hisses.
“Must I remind you that I was the one who wiped your tushy when you were a tiny bum and I also-”
“Oh you must, mustn't you?” Niki throws his hands in the air in vexation. But his sister could only smile at him in a manner that he couldn't argue any further. “Fine. We did fencing today, with the Duke’s trophy of a son.”
“You know, I never understood your hatred towards that man. I envy Jay, honestly. He gets to listen to your burdens about the marquess and console you."
“Soon, sister. The story’s very… profound.” Niki lazily plops his body back on the fluffy mattress with both hands at the back of his head.
“You mean the feelings behind that story?”
“You're too keen on unearthing this from me, aren't you? You clever bean.” Niki smirks at his sister’s antics.
“Anything to have my little brother confess. I am your most favorite sibling after all, am I not?” Y/n intertwines her fingers with her brother’s and seals it with a comforting kiss right on his thumb.
“Whatever it is, no matter how inexpressible or profound it may be...”
“Thank you, Y/n. I’m going to miss these melodramatic moments with you.” The lass scoffs at Niki’s almost sweet words. “It's not like I’m guaranteed marriage this season.”
“Oh but mother will do anything to try and get you married. That's guaranteed right there. Although Jay will be meddling at most in choosing a husband who's fit enough for you. But whoever that lucky chap may be, as long as he makes you happy, he already has my blessing.”
“Do you think Jungwon will ask someone's hand this season?” Y/n joins her brother on the bed as they both stare at the ceiling in deep ponder. Niki gulps at the very sudden question from his sister, but he shrugs it away as he recalls a distant memory of her and Jungwon frequently fighting over twigs and branches when they were nothing but ten.
“Jay can only answer that for you. Why don’t you ask Sunoo? He never misses an opportunity to spill details about his brother to you.”
“But that would be too much, wouldn't it?” Y/n sighs in exhaustion. “I can never get that man to look in my direction.”
“He’d be damned to even try to, especially when Jay’s around. He may be his best pal but Jay has always been very protective about you.”
“Whoever’s the pretty lady to be asked by Jungwon will definitely be the luckiest girl, I bet.”
The boy has all the means to help his sister as he is deeply affiliated with Jungwon’s brother, Daniel. But Niki could only look at her in pity thinking of all the years Y/n has set her heart on the oblivious boy next door, only the latter seems to care less in bearing the lady’s genuine sentiments.
Tumblr media
"Yang Jungwon!" A stern voice from a woman in her fifties resonates throughout the lad's powder room.
"Mother." He monotonously mumbled.
"Did I hear it correctly? You're not to dance with anyone at the ball?" With two hands on her waist, the young lord could almost see his mother's vein popping out on her wrinkled forehead.
"I suppose brother spilled the tea, huh? And yes, mother, you heard it correctly."
"Madness! If it weren't for Sunoo's knowledge of this I wouldn't have known. God knows what's going on inside of that brain of yours!"
"Mother, I am not fond of-"
"Nonsense! Not even the daughter of our dearest friend, Lady Park?"
"Most especially not her." Jungwon mutters under his breath.
"Do you even hear the absurdity of your words?"
"Certainly, I do, mother."
"Oh god, oh dear. You're giving me a headache right now." She rubs her temple in utter anxiety followed by a frustrated exhale. Lady Yang fumbles the surface of her dress until she got a handful of its fabric, gripping it upwards to free her steps from the hindrances while turning back from her son to leave him be. Until the eldest shows up from his supposedly brief reading schedule in the pantry.
“Ah! There you are. Talk some sense into your brother will you, dear? I might collapse if I bother to argue even more about his foolishness.” And Lady Yang leaves the two swiftly before they can even utter a word.
“What is it that you've done to mother now?” Sunoo, the eldest, walks slumpily towards Jungwon’s side while half-slamming the book on the marble counter.
“Shouldn't I be asking you that?” Jungwon side-eye him with a sneer.
“She was interrogating me with her unconquerable motherly vexes if you must know. Sincerely, brother, I'm not one to lie. Though, I did try my best.” The younger boy could only scoff at the sassy rebuttal from his brother.
“You could've tried harder. Or maybe, you could've just silenced yourself. Marvelous idea, isn't it?”
“Or maybe, you can put on a little effort to satisfy mother’s hopes even for one night. Brilliant, isn't it?”
Jungwon hisses as he unbotton his puff sleeves one by one with Sunoo looking at him in an almost scorn, pitying his brother for being a complete idiot, not to mention a coward too.
“I’m not a coward if that's what you're thinking. Let’s hear it, what would you have me do, brother?” The younger one looks at his brother’s reflection through the mirror like a brazen knight ready to be thrown into war. With both hands resting on the shiny countertop, he bites his bottom lip with a foreseeable answer in mind.
Sunoo taps the boy’s shoulder before heading to the door to leave him in his fickling decisions.
“Lady Y/n Park. Two dances, brother, then you can pray to spend the rest of your nights in peace.”
Jungwon gulps down followed by a deep sigh the moment Sunoo left the room, like an exhale he’s been trying to hold underwater for over a minute.
He could only hope that those two dances will be the last of it, or he could kiss his peaceful nights goodbye… forever.

Another one of these cause, like I said, I’m a real sucker for ‘em.
Characters: Devo/Devon, Blackjack/Bailey, Stella, The Engineer, Sal, Officer Davidson, Lena, Oscar.
Notes: Sentences take place in a variety of AUs, at random. Possible AUs as follows: Canon, Human, One Week at Walter’s, High School, Monster, Zombie Apocalypse, Angels and Demons, Animals, Single Dad, Dad Sal, Teachers.
Devon, Sal, Officer Davidson and Oscar belong to @terranatior
1 - Blame -
“Why?!” Stella is screaming at him and Devon can’t even bring himself to look at her; he doesn’t need to be reminded as to whose fault it is that Bailey was infected.
2 - Proof -
Devon smirks at Bailey as the brunet shakes his head at the cryptid pins and patches lining his vest, “What? It’s ironic!”
3 - Assistance -
This has literally never happened before; Devon’s got to watch in awe as the cute English teacher apologises to him for the mess and kneels down to pick up the rubbish that his students had been so careless with because nobody ever helps out the janitor, let alone apologises to him.
4 - Going -
“It’s alright, Bailey,” Sal murmurs to the boy sniffling in his arms, “Devon can come and play with you again tomorrow…”
5 - Birthday -
Sal’s never seen a child so patient to open his presents; he asks Bailey if he wants to unwrap them now and Bailey replies, “Noooope - Devon’s not here yet and I said I‘d wait for him!”
6 - Scientist -
Blackjack is smart, but even he isn’t sure if he and his siblings could be counted as living people - all he knows is, despite not having a heart in his chest, Devo makes him feel so alive.
7 - Silent -
He’d never noticed how quiet the subway was until Card Game refused to visit him for a week.
8 - Behalf -
“He’s too polite to say this,” Devon rounds on The Engineer, “so I’ll say it for him: fuck off.”
9 - Rumour(ed) -
There had been whispers of the school’s punk crushing on the nerdy queer kid way back when Devon was still mad that this dweeb had been assigned to tutor him; nowadays, Devon sighs grumpily cause he hates when other people are right about him.
10 - Tip -
“And don’t forget to smile,” Blackjack says to him, hugging his arm as he walks him up the path to Walter Manor; Devo grumbles but gives him a nod.
11 - Idle -
The guard makes the mistake of thinking they can relax after they make Blackjack shut down for the third time; Devo’s punching open his door and diving at them seconds later.
12 - Brother -
“Ahem,” is what cuts off their make-out session and Bailey gives a flustered greeting to Sal, who shares a glare with the punk on top of the younger Walter.
13 - Beneath -
Whenever a family member or a ‘concerned’ friend tries to tell him Devon’s nothing but a typical punk, Bailey very carefully tells them that he knows Devon better than they do.
14 - Redecorate -
It happens without either of them really realising - Devon’s toothbrush with his in the little cup, some of his clothes in the drawers, a few of Halloween-esque trinkets on the shelves, DVDs brought over from Movie Hut on the coffee table - but they suppose it’d been inevitable, really.
15 - Gravitation -
They fight sometimes, of course, and sometimes it’s bad, but don’t think, for one second, that that means it’s over - they can’t stay away for long.
16 - Kilt -
“It’s not a skirt,” Bailey corrects for the third time, showing Devon what he’d bought when he visited Scotland whilst in the UK for college, “it’s a kilt and it’s traditionally worn by - Devon, stop staring at me like that!”
17 - Afterthought -
Blackjack sheepishly returns to the manor after his first meeting with the punk automaton, steam pumping out of his vent when he tries to stop himself thinking that, despite the state he’s in, Devo’s pretty hot.
18 - Unearth -
“Devonnnn,” Bailey’s squealing and Devon casts a confused look to his smirking father before his boyfriend is holding up a photograph of a smiley little boy with a model car, “is this you?!”
19 - Shield -
As soon as Devon hears the groan of the undead, he’s pushing Bailey behind him and holding his bat at the ready; if the world wants to take Bailey away, it’ll have to go through him first.
20 - Blacklist -
Devon didn’t care if that guy was Bailey’s dad, he’d never forgive him for what he’d done to Bailey; in fact, him being the brunet’s father made it worse.
21 - Misquoted -
“Whaaat? Babe, no, you totally said I could punch The Engineer in the face.”
22 - Copying -
His heart stops when Bailey walks down the stairs in full punk attire, the surprise Bailey had said he’d had for him, but he still finds it in himself to tease, “Heeey, now, you trying to steal my look?”
23 - Argue/Arguing -
He and Devo usually get along so well that, when it does finally happen, Blackjack has to distance himself from the punk for a while, if only to sort out this rush of emotions he’s feeling.
24 - Lens -
Bailey smirks as Devon scowls at him, glaring him directly in the eye, right through the stupid fucking lenses Bailey now has in his glasses, “I’m not confused, your glasses have always been - and still are - fucking FAKE!”
25 - Bell -
Devon notices that Bailey’s never had a doorbell; briefly, it worries him that Bailey’s fear of sudden noises stretches that far.
26 - Arrest(ed) -
Devon and Lena speak in hushed tones to each other, away from Bailey, then Lena’s kissing them both goodbye and goes walking up the path to join her friends; Bailey waves to her as she goes, muttering to Devon, “If she ends up in jail tonight, I will chop your nuts off.”
27 - Havoc -
He knew bringing Devo back to the manor was a bad idea…
28 - Tool -
As much as Blackjack would love to have Devo fixed, if only to settle the paranoia of returning to the subway to find him dead, he would never subject the punk to The Engineer’s drill.
29 - Blanket -
“Devon, baby,” Devon opens one eye to find Bailey giving him a wide smile, “I love you, but if you continue to hog the covers, I will be forced to kick you out of this bed.”
30 - Fancy -
“Devon, it’s a wedding, you have to look nice,” Bailey lightly scolds as he adjusts Devon’s tie for him; Devon grumbles and just hopes Bailey’s brother’s stupid wedding won’t be as posh as he fears it will be.
31 - Dash -
The blue-haired, goggle-eyed human stands over him and Devo hisses at him, then glances at the opening he sees at the human’s right; he ducks under gloved hands, sprints that way and dives into the manor, where Blackjack greets him with a bark and a series of licks.
32 - Away -
Devo doesn’t really get what an ‘England’ is, but he wishes Steam Powered Giraffe’s stupid concert over there will end so Card Game can come back.
33 - Syndication -
“This is temporary,” The Engineer tells them sharply, gesturing between Devon and Bailey and he and Oscar; Devon replies with a grunt of agreement as he secures Bailey behind them all and readies his bat.
34 - Champagne -
Devon sighs; not even that can make up for the time he has to spend in the company of Bailey’s family.
35 - Note -
Even with Blackjack’s lessons, Devo has to take a little bit to decipher something new, but this time he’s really stumped at what exactly this multitude of X’s at the bottom of Card Game’s message means.
36 - Physical -
Devo finds it to be an odd sensation when Blackjack holds his hand for the first time, considering his long time evasion to being touched, but it isn’t a sensation that he complains about.
37 - Dull -
Bailey watches as Devon and Lena laugh together for what feels like the hundredth time that day, then he sighs miserably and hangs his head, speaking to the wind, “…I can be fun…promise…”
38 - Frozen -
Because there’s really no other way to react when your drunk boyfriend sends you a dick pic.
39 - Stumble(ed) -
Time slows and his heart stops as he turns to look at Bailey, who’s never looked more scared as he crashes to the ground, with the hoard of undead approaching behind him.
40 - Hunt -
The wendigo slashes at the blue-haired monster hunter before he can put a silver bullet into the werewolf’s heart; the hunter just became the hunted.
41 - Gibberish -
Devon and Oscar stand by as The Engineer and Bailey chat away about…something in full blown English slang; Devon turns to Oscar and opens his mouth and Oscar holds up a hand, “Yeeeaaahhh, I dunno either, pal…”
42 - Camp -
Sal has to stop and smile warmly at the tent put up in Bailey’s room (that he built, but shhh), seeing the silhouettes of the two boys inside as they tell ‘scary’ stories to each other.
43 - Weak(ness) -
Blackjack goes to step, pauses, looks down at the duct tape covering his feet and sticking him to the stage; the automaton whimpers and reaches out with both hands in the direction of the storage room, “Devo…Devo…!”
44 - Bargain -
Bailey’s palm stings as he shakes hands with Devon, who grins wickedly at him like the demon he is, “Escort you home to get my freedom? Sounds good to me~”
45 - Alcohol -
Devon is…honestly a little bit concerned when he sees the amount of booze Bailey has in his fridge; Bailey assures him he hardly touches the stuff.
46 - Wind -
Bailey’s paranoia knows no rest; he hears the creak of wood in his house, something tapping on the window and squeaks with fright as he quickly hides his face in the sleeping punk’s chest.
47 - Temptation -
Bailey walks with Devon down one of the school’s long corridors, looks to him out of the corner of his eye and reaches to hold his hand…only to sigh and stuff it back into his pocket when he remembers they’re in public.
48 - Eighteen -
Devon’s not that old yet; Bailey always makes sure their making out doesn’t go too far.
49 - Bottle -
“Don’t you do it, cat…” The Engineer murmurs warningly as the stray looks him in the eye; one paw swipe later and there’s shattered glass on the floor, the noise at which Mr. Walter’s dogs all bark at madly.
50 - Rhythm -
Devo looks to the CD player, then frowns down at his and Blackjack’s feet as they step together; Blackjack smiles encouragingly at him, Devo‘s hand in his and his free hand on Devo‘s shoulder, “That’s it, Devo, you’re doing great!”
