I just “watched” episodes 7 and 8 of Hazbin and I have a lot of thoughts.

But let’s start off with episode 7

Rosie and Camilla were EVERYTHING this episode. I love them both and I didn’t really have much to say about avails before this episode but like…I loved them a lot. Rosie is an absolute sweet heart (despite her being a cannibal)

Vaggie has wings now….Y E S. There’s SO much visual potential for this. I can just imagine her carrying Charlie bridal style through hell and her expressing with them as. I know a lot of people were confused but I’m gonna give explanations now: Lute ripped off her wings, she didn’t cut them with an angelic weapon which means Vaggie was able to grow them back through “The Power of Love”™️ and sheer will power.

At first I was a bit disappointed that Charlie and Vaggie didn’t actually properly and I was a bit underwhelmed by Charlie’s reaction to Vaggie’s but I’ll tell why I’m not as disappointed anymore.

Alastor was behaving a little bit like Charlie’s father figure in this which is funny considering episode 5. (But I know Chalastor shippers are gonna be weird about it and use the scenes for their fuel. Smh.) Not to mention I can see Camilla becoming a mentor/motherly figure for Vaggie in the future. But oddly enough I can also se Rosie being a mother figure for Charlie too.

Camilla’s song is probably my favorite out of the song list so far and while I’m a little disappointed it wasn’t a duet between her and Vaggie like the first song kinda was, we did get a training montage out of it and the explanation about Camilla defeating an angel leading up to it was freaking cool. (I really like how Camilla��s footwear was used as instruments in the song, I love stuff like that)

And now….for episode 8

I really liked Vaggie’s war outfit, Charlie’s was okay too.

I’m not gonna lie to y’all, I lowkey was kinda rooting for Adam when he was going up against Alastor. I’m sorry but I just…do not like him…or his fans for that matter. And GOD DAMN was it refreshing when Adam broke his staff, that man needed to be humbled….I just wish it wasn’t Adam that did it…cus I don’t like Adam either. And I feel like Alastor’s fans are coping with the fact that their precious deer demon daddy lost to a damn angel. (And yes he did loose to him. Cope and seethe) My guy wasn’t gonna land a scratch on Adam without an angelic weapon, what did people think was gonna happen?? But I’ll give Alastor props for holding out as long as he did.

Speaking of him, the reason why I didn’t mention the deal he made with Charlie yet is because it connects with this episode. So I’m 95% certain he has a contract with Lilith and it had something to do with that stick of his. His staff was probably the source of a lot of his power and it can’t be regenerated because it was broken by Adam’s guitar/axe. That “favor” that Alastor wants from Charlie might be to have her make him a new one, a more powerful one that he could possibly…idk…kill Lucifer or Lilith with? Idk dude, the man’s be scheming. But I’m like…98% certain his gonna be the BBEG by the end of this…and if not him, than Lilith.

CHAGGIE DUET- STARMOTH DUET- I’m so ill about them. This is why I wasn’t so mad about them not talking because of THIS SCENE. At this point, I could care less if people still think they have no chemistry after this or they think they’re boring. They’re real, they’re canon and they are beautiful. COPE AND SEETHE, BITCHES! I just hope they get more original duet pieces and not reprises in S2 but the fact they used the same song from Charlie and her dad is really cute.

I liked Vaggie calling Charlie petnames during battle. Little things like that is what makes these two so nice to watch.

Vaggie Vs. Lute…dispite me hoping Vaggie would be on even footing with Lute, it wasn’t realistic, and I’m glad they kept it realistic. Vaggie was out of practice for YEARS meanwhile Lute was not only going at it after Vaggie’s falling but she was also the lieutenant. But this is where Camilla’s advice came into play. Lute fought Vaggie with vengeance in mind as well as her thinking she was indestructible. This lead to her downfall when Lute was so caught up in mocking Vaggie, she accidentally gave Vaggie time to think of a way to outsmart her. Lute fought hard but Vaggie fought smart and it paid off in the end. And we got that BADASS line from Vaggie at the end of it. I love it when my girl gets W’s.

I’m disappointed how Charlie was overpowered by Adam though. I was so ready for her to throw hands with him. But I can see why this is the case as well. Charlie never really had to go all out before in her life. So she’s kinda rusty and inexperienced compared to Adam and Lucifer. (Also rip Razzle or Dazzle. You will probably be missed) But she did get two good hits which I can appreciate and she was the first to actually do damage to Adam. Something I can also appreciate.

Speaking of which, Lucifer absolutely OWNED Adam as he should. We stan a short king who loves his daughter.

Sir Pent was absolutely ROBBED of his moment by Adam and I don’t care that they made up for it by him going to heaven (I do care but sksnjs I’m still salty) And am I the only one that like…didn’t care all that much for his crush in Cherri? Like, I do like it in theory but the pacing…OH THE PACING IS THE REAL VILLAIN OF THIS SHOW. I wish they had a little bit more build up to that kiss. But hey, at least we have confirmation that the hotel does work. Rip Sir Penny. You WILL be missed.

I don’t know how I feel about Nifty of all people being the one to end Adam. On one hand it WAS foreshadowed at the beginning but one the other hand..it felt cheap(?). Like it would have been more satisfying for say Vaggie or Charlie to land the final blow, from a narrative standpoint at least. But…it was Nifty. And uh…was I SUPPOSED to feel bad for Lute seeing Adam die? I’m sorry but they both deserve to get their wings cut off. Adam was a fun villain but I’m glad he’s dead.

Hopes/Predictions for S2

I want more Early Stage!StarMoth. One of the criticisms people have with their relationship is how little set up they have. The best way to rectify this is to show how they were when they were still crushing on each other. A good example of this is Ruby and Sapphire from Steven Universe. Ruby and Sapphire were already established as a couple for Y E A R S but because we got to see how they fell in love and how they worked in the early days, people got more invested in their love story. So I hope Hazbin does the same with Charlie and Vaggie.

I also want Vaggie on her own. I know this is contradictory to my first want but I’ll explain. The theory as to why Vaggie seemed a bit shallow for a lot of people in the show was because they felt like Charlie was Vaggie’s whole personality which is something that I semi do agree with. So I want Vaggie to pick up a new hobby in S2. Whether it be her doing some dancing or maybe she becomes a musician. I just want more of VAGGIE.

And speaking of…I want Camilla to become some sort of mentor for Vaggie. I mentioned it earlier but I’m gonna do it again. Lute’s gonna come back in S2 and she’s gonna want revenge on Vaggie. We’ve seen how underpowered Vaggie is compared to Lute when it came to raw skill. But Camilla knew how to fend off from the angels and Vaggie did use her advice. I think and hope that if Vaggie keeps on training under Camilla, she can definitely surpass Lute and become a better fighter from it. Hell, Camilla can even help Vaggie deal with her anger issues.

It would also be fun if Lucifer trained up Charlie to be a better fighter (or Vaggie and Charlie can train together. It would make for some good moments between them)

This is a smaller want but I want Vaggie to cut her hair…she looks so much more cooler with shorter hair. And maybe a name change??? Maybe?

I want Charlie and Alastor to fight. It’s probably gonna happen with that deal and all. Some one is gonna suffer and Charlie (after having more experience) is gonna take on Alastor and I want her to remind him why she’s the damn Princess of Hell.

I just want the cast to interact with eachother more. Don’t let it just be Charlie and Vaggie or Angel and Husk. I wanna see how Vaggie and Husk would interact. They’d seem like a pretty chill duo.

I predict Lilith is gonna be the BBEG if not Alastor. She’s either gonna have to throw down with Charlie or Lucifer. And if somehow Alastor reforms, he may throw down with her. Lilith is gonna fight SOMEONE. (And Charlie may have to do a sing-nu-jitsu on her)

I predict Angel and Husk are gonna have to face with their soul binders (Alastor and Valentino) and both of them are probably gonna be rushed.

I predict Lute and Vaggie are gonna fight again and I HOPE Vaggie is more ready for it than in the finale.

I predict either Angel or Husk is gone be next in-line to be redeemed (which means either one is gonna “die” next season)

I predict another standoff between Alastor and Vox…and this time Vox is more cocky since Alastor took a BIG hit in the finale.

I predict Emily is gonna become a sinner.

And last but not least…I predict Vaggie and Charlie are gonna have a wedding at the end of the show.

My “final” thoughts for Hazbin Hotel S1: Pacing and tone shifts were the biggest flaw for this season. Moments, relationships and topics suffered from the poor pacing and while some of the blame goes to the lack of episodes, most of it goes to the writers. I can’t tell you how many moments fell flat due to the rushed episodes. You don’t really have time to breath with this show and the moments that you do get to breath are some of the best moments of the show.

(There’s also bias issues but that’s a separate topic-)

But for what it had…it wasn’t the worst. And I’m actually kinda looking forward to season 2.

Help! I couldn't help myself and wrote more fluff! Enjoy ya Misfits!

Hooves and Wings:

“You have hooves?” A memory had made itself known to Charlie, who smiled fondly at a gift she was preparing.

It had been when she first met Vaggie, and the two became friends, though it was a rocky start with the angel not exactly settling down. (Cue Flashback)

It had been over several days since Charlie had rescued a cute girl by the dumpster. She hadn't noticed the golden blood until it was on the bandage over Vaggie's eye socket. “Hmm..” It made the princess curious but she decided to respect her friend's privacy. “Looks like it's healing nicely, shouldn't be too long now till you're fully recovered.” She smiled at Vaggie moving some of that short hair to the side.

“Still feels weird..” Vaggie muttered as the angel was given fresh bandages and a gauze over it. Charlie was gentle with her and smiled softly. “Yeah? Well I have something for you.” The blonde grinned slightly and took out a small box.

Vaggie tilted her head curiously, and with a nod from Charlie, the angel opened it and stared. “Esto es muy lindo..” (This is really cute.) She smirked a bit seeing the eyepatch in the box. “Thanks Charlie..” She added picking it up to examine it.

Charlie giggled. “I like making stuff so I figured I'd make this for you.” She blushed, scratching her cheek. The two were in their casual attire as Charlie playfully did some cute hand tapping on her own thighs. “There's also something else.” She added with a giggle.

Vaggie blinked and looked back into the box and found what looked to be a beautiful looking red-pink ribbon that matched the stitched in x design on the eyepatch. “You're spoiling me here…” She replied with a soft smirk.

“I couldn't help it.” Charlie gulped and rubbed her neck. “You're like the first friend I've had in a long time, so..”

“Well I'm flattered…” Vaggie smiled warmly, her eye focused on her friend.

Charlie stretched and got off the bed in the guest room. “It's getting late, I'll leave you alone so you can sleep. Good night Vaggie.” She smiled and went to her room.

What happened next surprised the demoness as she blinked hearing a knock. “It's open!” She called from her bed as she was slipping off her shoes. What greeted those ruby eyes was an adorable sight, Vaggie was in a beautiful white nightgown while holding a pillow and blanket. “Vaggie, what brings you here not that I don't mind?”

“You said we're friends right? I'm not used to it but.. Um.. Would you like to do a sleepover?” Vaggie rubbed her neck with a bit of golden hue to her cheeks.

Charlie beamed at the idea as she grinned patting the bed. “I'd love to! Just let me change into my pj's ok?”

Vaggie smiled and nodded though blinked, spying Charlie’s feet. “You have hooves?” She tilted her head.

“Y-yeah, I was about to do some cleaning actually…” Charlie blushed, lightly rubbing her neck. “Are they weird…?” She asked since before she was told they were by her douche of an ex.

“N-no, they're actually kinda cute?” Vaggie replied with an awkward smile. “It just caught me off guard seeing them, that's all…”

Charlie blinked a little surprised with a slight blush but that small crush she had on this cute woman only grew. She smiled fondly at Vaggie. “So what did you have in mind?” She giggled but then pointed to her large shelf of movies. “If it's a movie, feel free to browse my library while I go change.”

Vaggie nodded watching the princess do a light skip to the bathroom. Though once Charlie came back out in her red long sleeve pj shirt and pj pants she blinked seeing Vaggie sitting on the bed by the hoof care kit. “You've done a lot for me already, so may I help you with your hooves?” She asked as Charlie blushed slightly. “Sure..”

The two sat on Charlie’s rather large bed, though the princess fought the urge to squirm as Vaggie tickled her hooves while cleaning them. She found it cute seeing her crush so focused on the job at hand. “Pffft…. Vaggie!” She couldn't hold back a giggle. “That tickles!”

Vaggie blinked hearing Charlie snort, and it earned the princess a small laugh from her new friend. This only made Charlie crush even harder since that laugh was the cutest she's ever heard. Once their giggle fit was done Vaggie finished picking out the last of the debris from those cute red hooves. “There we go.”

Charlie giggled, flexing her hoof toes with a delightful grin. “You kept tickling me, you know?” She smirked, coming closer to Vaggie who blinked. “Time for some payback!”

“Charlie!” The angel couldn't escape the tickle barrage as she was once again a big giggle fit, with the most adorable snort. “Ack! Can't breathe!” She howled with laughter. She managed to catch her breath when Charlie looked satisfied with her tickle attack.

“You have the cutest laugh.” She grinned but blinked seeing Vaggie grumble with a small wince. “Oh sorry, did I hurt you?!” She was alert and attentive as Vaggie gave a small smile.

“No, I'm ok..”

“You sure?” Charlie gave a soft, concerned look. Vaggie giggled a bit and nodded. “Yeah.”

Charlie sighed in relief, she had been worried she aggravated the wounds. “Sorry about that though.”

Vaggie looked a little surprised but then smiled a bit and went to grab a movie. “Oh? A knight’s tale? That's a classic.”

“Yeah I like it cause the protagonist chased his dreams and achieved them.”

“Want to watch it then?” Vaggie smiled holding it up. “Yes please, I'll go grab us some popcorn!”

The two snuggled up under a blanket that was draped over their shoulders with a bowl of popcorn in Charlie's lap. Alongside them were two adorable goat dragon demons Razzle and Dazzle since who could leave those two out. Soon Charlie pushed play on their movie night. (End of flashback)

------

In the present day Charlie was grinning widely while carrying a gift box for her precious angel. “Hey Vags?” She peeked into their shared room.

“Hm?” Vaggie blinked looking back, she was casually cleaning her spear. “Oh hey sweetie.” She flashed a smile before her attention went back to the spear.

Charlie pouted a bit, but soon smirked devilishly. “I guess you're super focused right now, you don't want the gift I got you..” She stated in a playful sing-song-like tone. This caused the angel to look back at her, raising an eyebrow.

“You got something for me?”

“Yep. So could you put the spear down please?”

Vaggie shrugged and did so, she could always sharpen it after. “Alright, you have my attention, love, what is it?”

Charlie grinned and walked over carrying the box with a pretty red bow on top. “Just something I figured you needed babe.” She replied and handed Vaggie the box to open.

“Oh?” Vaggie removed the neatly wrapped bow and looked inside, she blinked, spying the gift. “Do you like it?”

“You got me a wing care kit?” She sounded surprised. Charlie grinned and nodded. “Yep, I figured since you regained your wings, I'd help you take care of them.”

Vaggie just looked at Charlie though smiled gently at her and planted a soft kiss to her wonderful girlfriend’s cheek. “Gracias mi amor..” (Thank you my love)

“I know a little bit about wings since when I was little my dad let me play with his…” Charlie replied and smiled. “Seeing how beautiful yours were, I knew for sure I'd have to get you some care stuff for them.”

Vaggie chuckled. “You spoil me, hon..” She soon brought out those gorgeous gray gradient feathered wings, which made Charlie squee. “I'm glad you like them..” She smiled a bit but then looked a little sad.

Charlie lightly cupped Vaggie's cheek, with the big secret out in the open, the princess knew why her sweet angel made such a face. “I absolutely love them, my cute song bird.” She smiled softly, lightly touching Vaggie's forehead with her own. “It makes me happy they came back because of the love we have.”

Vaggie closed her eyes with a soft smile, though her cheeks became a darker shade of gold hearing that new nickname. “Song bird?”

“Yeah, cause your wings and that beautiful voice you have love.” Charlie giggled nuzzling her. She peppered Vaggie's face and neck with kisses earning more giggles from her beautiful girlfriend. “Charlie stop, that tickles!”

The two remained close for a bit until Vaggie reluctantly pulled away. “You're such a goof..” She wiped a stray tear from her eye. “Go ahead.” Vaggie turned and stretched those wings out for Charlie while moving that long silvery hair away to expose more of the feathers and her back.

“Your goof.” The princess grinned and lightly started to run her fingers along the feathers. “Quick question?”

“Hm?”

“Does it get like… Bedroom-ish? Sorry but I'm curious.”

Vaggie rubbed her chin, though shuddered a bit when Charlie ran her fingers through the feathers near the base. “Yeah?”

“Oh.. Hehe..” Charlie had a cute grin. “OK so only in the bedroom then..” She couldn't help it as her tail popped out and started wagging a bit.

Vaggie noticed and gave a playful smirk. “You perv..” She teased making the hellborn turn red with blush.

Charlie decided to get Vaggie back for making her flustered with a soft kiss to the old scarring on her songbird's back. With both equally a blushing mess the two soon burst into laughter. Vaggie smiled fondly as she felt Charlie being careful with her wings, giving each feather a soft comb through and lightly taking out any damaged ones. “Ooo!” Charlie grinned, having some old feathers in her hands. “I kinda wanna turn these into stuffing for pillows…”

Vaggie snorted. “Of course you'd say that..” She chuckled, shaking her head. “What having a pillow that smells like you would be nice?” This only earned more laughter from Vaggie who held her stomach.

Charlie grinned, hearing that laugh she loved so much. She tried to continue, but Vaggie was in a cute giggle fit. “Vaggie, if you keep moving, I can't apply the oil!”

“Sorry, but the thought of you cuddling a pillow stuffed with my feathers is too cute..”

Charlie pouted but rolled her eyes smiling waiting for Vaggie to settle down. “That's the coverts done.” She stated making Vaggie look at her.

“Since when did you know wing terminology babe?”

“Uh, I.. Well I looked up how to care for wings beforehand…”

Vaggie blinked but smiled. “You planned this for a while huh?”

Charlie nodded softly, she smiled cutely as her fingers gently combed through the tertiary feathers. “Yeah… You always work so hard to take care of me and the hotel. I wanted to do the same back..”

“You do though..” Vaggie looked back and smiled.

“How so?” Charlie blinked as she couldn't help but be curious.

Vaggie thought for a moment then smiled. “You gave me a place to call home when I was torn away from Heaven..” She stated fidgeting a bit. “I'm not proud of who I was, I always felt so guilty about killing your people Charlie…” Charlie blinked but remained quiet as she went to the secondary feathers next. “Being an Exorcist, it was strange but I had a place there, even if the praises sent shivers down my spine.”

Charlie blinked but soon brought her tail to lightly hold Vaggie's wrist while her fingers carefully aligned those feathers. “Honestly I never really had many friends until I met you.” The angel continued finding comfort in the small gesture. “I had one job, to be a murderous killing machine..”

“Vaggie…” Charlie's heart ached for her girlfriend. Sure the secret did hurt her, but she gave a soft look. “You were scared to tell me weren't you? You basically didn't bother to correct me when I thought you were a sinner..”

“Yeah…”

Charlie dipped her head down and nuzzled into Vaggie's hair giving her girlfriend a soft kiss on top. “What happened to you then?”

Vaggie blinked but sighed. “I don't exactly like talking about it..” She muttered, looking away. “But I'll try..”

“Vaggie, you don't really have to say anything..” Charlie replied lightly, reaching over to take her hand.

“I do hon, it'll eat away at me if I don't.”

“But..”

Vaggie gave that hand a gentle squeeze. “One request please…” She sounded a little hesitant. “Anything love?”

“I like your hands… Could you keep roaming them on my wings, please? It relaxes me..”

Charlie nodded and continued her work. She looked worried at how nervous Vaggie looked. Her mind drifted back to her once, saying, “If I can't help you, then what's the point of me?” The princess gave another comforting kiss to her songbird's wing, this time making the angel relax more.

“You remember how we met, babe?” Vaggie's gaze drifted to a photo of the two together. “I do, it was horrible, you were so hurt…”

Vaggie steeled herself and took a soft breath. “I came down from heaven that day, and the guilt took over when I chased a child sinner to an alley… I let them go.” She stated as Charlie gasped.

The angel raised her hand to stop Charlie from speaking. “You won't like the next part..” She looked at her loving princess. “Do you… Still want to hear it?”

“Yes…” Charlie gave her a soft gaze. She loved Vaggie more than anything, even when the secret was revealed and she was hurting, Charlie didn't deny that deep in her heart, it already belonged to this wonderful person in front of her, her talk with Rosie reassured it tenfold.

Vaggie blinked, seeing that loving kind glint in those ruby eyes. She smiled softly, though her old wounds began to ache at the mention of the next part. “Okay…” Vaggie took a soft breath. “Next thing I knew, someone was behind me, and with much brutality, my eye was taken..”

Vaggie felt the heat from Charlie's demonic form, yet continued knowing it would piss off her beloved even more. “I was in shock and fell to my knees, and in a quick second I saw who it was, someone who I thought was a friend, but no she was petty and always had it out for me.” Venom dripped from her words as Vaggie gritted her teeth. “Lute, Adam's right hand bitch.”

Charlie stared and growled. “And she also ripped off your wings?! All because you spared a child?!” She moved her hands back and dug her claws into her own palms.

Vaggie looked at Charlie and blinked seeing those beautiful hands starting to drip blood. “Hon..” She gently took those hands. “I plan to settle the score next time I see that asshole.” She smirked looking determined.

Charlie looked at her with deep demonic red eyes. “Yeah, and I know you'll kick her ass. But love, we stick together ok?” She loosened her hands letting Vaggie hold them. “I don't want you getting hurt anymore.”

“Hey..” Vaggie lifted those hands up and kissed the palms. “I don't plan on dying in the battle with heaven, babe.” She then got up and picked up her spear. Charlie blinked, still fully demonic as she saw her beautiful angel do a small kneel, which reminded her of the knight from one of her favorite movies. “O-oh!” Charlie blinked, seeing her beloved take her hand and kiss the knuckles. “Sorry but I also plan to protect my home with everything I've got as well.”

Charlie couldn't help but swoon at Vaggie, who looked incredibly dashing right now. “Geez, someone's feeling theatrical today, I guess I rubbed off on you.” She teased but smiled warmly gently pulling Vaggie up from her kneeling. “You even remembered our first sleepover movie.”

Vaggie blushed but smiled at Charlie, though it was replaced with a cheeky grin as she set down her spear again. “Yeah, but I also remember this too.” Her deft hands came to Charlie’s sides and easily tickled her princess, sending the demoness into a laughing fit. “Nooo!”

This caused Charlie to revert back and whine as she howled with laughter. “Revenge.” Vaggie grinned as she let up the tickle barrage when Charlie tapped out. “Meanie…”

“You love it though.”

“True, now we have a big day of training tomorrow, shall we go to sleep?”

“Don't forget your hooves, hon..” Vaggie stated with a soft smile. “Oh, it's been so busy I almost forgot, thanks love.” Charlie flashed a cute grin. She then rewarded Vaggie with a loving kiss to the cheek.

“Go you goof…” Vaggie playfully shooed her away as Charlie giggled. The two then started their nightly routine, it was one of the last peaceful moments they were able to share before the big battle with Heaven.

dance with me, darling

Final part! The sillies are finally dancing (somewhat). Read on Archive of Our Own here.

(Part 1, Part 2)

Rating: T Warnings: Canon Typical Language, Allusions to Canon Typical Violence

(not so much a warning as a note - Valentino is a POV character in this one)

Characters: Vaggie, Charlie Morningstar, Vox, Valentino, Velvette Mentioned: Husk, Niffty

Word Count: 2456

Vaggie was about two seconds away from going after Charlie herself when she came back. She shot off a quick ‘thank you’ to Husk, made a mental note to do something nice for him sometime soon, and moved to help Charlie with the two plates of food. One good thing about the mixed sinner/hellborn staff meant the hotel had access to ingredients from the other rings – things like eggs, from actual chickens.

(She’d wondered if there was any difference between earth chickens and hell chickens, once – Charlie had gotten a picture for her. There weren’t any, though there were definitely breeds that would never be seen on earth.)

Charlie smiled at her as her arm fell back to her side. Vaggie perched on the edge of the bed; pressing her thigh against Charlie’s when she sat next to her. For a few moments, the only sounds were of scraping cutlery and eating. There was no good way to start the conversation they needed to have, though, and Vaggie tended to get stomachaches from eating too fast a lot easier. Even so, before she got the chance to speak, Charlie did,

“I’m sorry I snapped at you this morning,” she said quietly. “I just... this is the first year I’ve been able to help so many people, Vaggie, and you kind of... sprung this day off on me.”

Vaggie nodded. “Yeah. I’m sorry, too – I could have woken you up last night and told you then,” she said.

Charlie pressed back against Vaggie’s thigh. Forgiven, then; just like she had already forgiven Charlie. They finished their breakfast in comfortable silence. Vaggie took their now-empty plates and stood up, walking them over to the desk wedged into the corner and setting them down. She could feel Charlie’s eyes following her.

Well. It had been a while since she had had a good stretch. With a sigh, she rolled her shoulders. Then she flared her wings, grimacing as the stretch pulled on her overtaxed muscles. She really should have been warming up better these past two weeks; oh well. She stretched her wings as far as they could go without hurting too bad, held the position for a count of one- two-

On three, she let the muscles relax, stretching her arms above her head as she turned around. Charlie was watching her intently, sclera slightly red around the edges. Vaggie smiled – even on days she didn’t feel very pretty (most days, but especially now that she could feel dirt and dust and something sticky in her feathers gross), Charlie was always an appreciative audience. Normally, she would do the full routine, especially with Charlie watching so attentively, but starting with her wings had been a mistake.

(The sticky something was probably blood, fuck, disgusting, it needed to be gone yesterday)

“Shower with me?” she asked, offering a hand to Charlie.

The red of Charlie’s sclera darkened. “Please,” she answered, taking Vaggie’s hand (and nearly her arm), pulling her towards the ensuite.

“No sex,” Vaggie said. “I’m too sore right now, sweetie.”

Charlie huffed but nodded, releasing Vaggie’s hand. Vaggie sat on the toilet seat as Charlie dug around under the sink. She tucked her wings in (ugh, how had she been flying with this much shit in them?) just long enough to take her nightgown off. She would have to change the bedding after the shower; no telling how dirty it was, or if it had even been changed since before everything.

Charlie straightened up with a victorious sound, brandishing the washcloths like trophies. Vaggie clapped; Charlie took a mocking bow. The red had faded from her eyes again; not necessarily a bad thing, especially because Vaggie wasn’t lying about being sore. Charlie handed her the cloths and took her dirty clothes, tossing it down the laundry chute along with her own. Vaggie ruffled her feathers, trying to get the worst of the loose ones to shake out.

“Preening after?” Charlie asked, turning the shower on.

Vaggie nodded. “Yes, please,” she said. “I think this is the worse off my wings’ve been since my first time down here.”

Charlie offered a sympathetic look along with her hand. Vaggie took the hand gladly, sighing as the hot water (hotter than if she was showering on her own, but cooler than Charlie usually had it) hit her skin.

The shower was quick, all things considered. Charlie ended up with a feather stuck to her shin, and there was an unfortunate amount gathered by the drain, but the even just the shower had Vaggie feeling so much better. She hadn’t realized how many half-broken and just loose feathers had been in there; not to mention the lack of dirt and blood making her feel lighter than she had in... a while. She watched Charlie pick up the fallen feathers – even the broken ones – with the care of someone holding something precious; carefully setting them on the sink counter.

“Babe,” she said, “you do know we can just throw them out, right?”

Charlie gasped. “Before I get to pick out my favourites? No!” She cupped her hands, hiding the feathers from view.

Vaggie rolled her eyes. “One favourite. The nightstand is gonna overflow if you keep all of them.”

“But they’re all so good! They came from you!”

“One,” Vaggie said, trying to ignore the heat rising to her face. “One, and you have until I’m dressed to pick it.”

“But what about preening?” Charlie asked, pouting.

Vaggie fluttered her wings; pleased when nothing fell out or shifted uncomfortably. “We’ll do that tonight. I’ll braid your hair.”

Charlie sighed. “Okay...”

Charlie had managed to pick out one by the time Vaggie came back in to brush her hair. She took the rest of the old feathers and swept them into the trash as Charlie left to go get dressed herself. Vaggie took the opportunity to look at herself and winced. Okay, yeah, maybe she had been going too hard lately. She could probably get away with Charlie’s insanely early body clock, instead of waking up before dawn.

She checked her phone, just in case something had gone wrong downstairs. There was nothing from Husk, so it was probably fine – or at least, manageable. Velvette had sent her a thumbs up and a going back to bed; Valentino still hadn’t read his; and Vox had seen his but hadn’t responded. About what she expected, honestly. Niffty had sent her the area that had been set aside for the five of them today; one of the recreation rooms Vox had insisted on.

Vaggie sighed, a little more tension leaking out with it. Maybe a day off wouldn’t be so bad.

Valentino woke up slowly; a novel experience he missed dearly. The last two weeks had been nothing but work, work, work. Not to mention, his chest ached and his throat was cracked and dry all the time. Even still, he was... confused. Vox hadn’t used the body pillow trick since Charlie insisted they start helping (without! Contracts! Or favours! Just helping! For free!) those injured and displaced by the extermination. Vox always made sure Valentino was downstairs before Charlie – something something optics; he hadn’t really been listening.

So to wake up alone, wrapped around a body pillow instead of Vox, was... bewildering, to say the least. He disentangled himself from the pillow and blankets, rolling over to reach for his phone. Vox might not be here, but there was no doubt he would have left a message of some kind; if only to make sure Valentino “behaved.”

And! There was a message (two messages, even!) waiting for him, just not from Vox. Instead, it was from Charlie’s guard dog – Vaggie or something stupid like that.

Mandatory day off, the first message, sent last night, said. The second message continued, There’s snacks and shit in rec 4, if you’re interested.

Valentino made a face. His first day off in weeks – in six months, really – and he had to spend it with her? The princess, at least, was tolerable – naive but eager to please (and she was interested in the plot). Vaggie-or-something just glared at him; or didn’t even bother to pay attention to him at all. Him! One of the greatest cinematographers this side of the city! Fuck, he hated her.

He screenshot the texts and sent them off to Velvette.

mothballsack sent an attachment. mothballsack: ? bithc: yeah bithc: idk might go later mothballsack: Is vox there bithc: b fr. hes prob working

Valentino scowled before responding.

mothballsack: I’m not going bithc: bruh bithc: just drag him there??? bithc: actually yeah just. bithc: u drag vox up there n i’ll come mothballsack: cna i film bithc: gross. bithc: also cna mothballsack: eat shit. mothballsack: but u promise u’ll go? bithc: yeah yeah w/e bithc: whiny

Valentino didn’t dignify that with a response. He sighed, rolling onto his back and throwing his arm over his eyes. He didn’t want to spend the day walking on eggshells around the princess and her bitch (where the fuck did they get off being all preachy, like, what the fuck), but the thought of spending time with Vox and Velvette was... appealing. Especially if it meant Vox would actually take the day off. And he wouldn’t have to wear the suit Velvette insisted he wear in the name of ‘team spirit’ or whatever.

He sighed again before rolling the rest of the way out of bed. If he was going to this stupid thing, he was going to be the best looking demon in the room.

Velvette was tired, when she finally made her way to rec room 4. She hadn’t been lying – she had tried to go back to sleep after starting a few fights in VoxTube comments, but it just hadn’t happened. She slipped in quietly – she didn’t need Val getting on her ass about taking so long right now.

But even if she hadn’t entered the room quietly, Val was busy – dancing with Charlie? Okay, weird, Velvette still thought he didn’t like her. She stared at the pair for a second, trying to understand what her eyes were seeing; it took her tired brain that second to realize what must have happened.

Because, instead of Valentino doing the dipping and throwing like he did whenever he was dancing with Vox, he was being dipped and lifted and spun like he weighed nothing. Charlie stood taller than Velvette had ever seen her – and holy shit did that fucking do something to her – so there wasn’t the constant risk of Val hitting his head whenever he got careless.

Vox noticed her then, lifting the cup of water he was holding in a sort-of wave. His movement drew Vaggie’s – sitting on the same couch, also with water – attention to Velvette; who was maybe – definitely – checking out her girlfriend.

(Charlie??? In a dress??? It definitely wasn’t Velvette’s fault she was having trouble not staring. Holy shit she was going to make so many skirts for Charlie.)

“Velvette,” Vaggie said, grabbing Velvette’s attention.

Velvette felt heat rise to her cheeks, caught. Play it off, she thought.

She walked over to the couch Vaggie and Vox were sharing, throwing herself into Vox’s lap dramatically. “What’s up, Vaggie?”

Vaggie rolled her eyes and didn’t respond, turning her attention back to Charlie and Valentino.

...nailed it.

Velvette started poking Vox from where she was laying. Vox barely reacted, glancing down at her briefly before going back to staring at nothing. (He’d overdone it again, probably – if she had to guess, his battery was around 40%. Not enough for a crash or forced sleep, but definitely enough for the lights to be on but nobody home whenever there wasn’t multiple things for him to focus on.

Why were her boys always so stupid?)

After Vox’s frankly dismal response (not even a swat to get her to stop? Really?), Velvette turned her attention to the other soul on the couch. She didn’t poke Vaggie, though – things had been tense between them ever since Vaggie realized she had a crush on Charlie. She needed all her fingers to sew, thank you very much.

Instead, she said, “Wanna dance?” like an idiot.

Vaggie looked down at her, raising an eyebrow. “What?”

“I asked if you wanted to dance,” Velvette repeated.

Vaggie continued to do nothing, just looking at her. Velvette resisted the urge to squirm, feeling a little like she had just stumbled into a bear’s cave. Then Vaggie sighed and set down her water, standing up. She offered her hand to Velvette.

“Okay,” she said.

Velvette blinked at her; it took her a second to reach out and accept Vaggie’s hand. She hadn’t actually expected a positive response – hadn’t really expected to ask the question, if she was honest.

(Okay, maybe it wasn’t entirely fair to call Vox and Val idiots all the time, if she was gonna do stupid shit like this whenever she had a crush on a pretty (taken) girl.)

And the thing was – the dance was a little out of Velvette’s wheelhouse; slower than she was used to; but Vaggie was good. At dancing. She dipped Velvette and lifted her into spins effortlessly, hands firm but not too hard around Velvette’s waist.

“Do I even weigh anything to you,” Velvette asked during a pause between songs.

“Not really,” Vaggie said. “You’re an easier partner than Charlie.”

Then the next song started, and they were off again. By the time the third song finished, Velvette was breathless – meanwhile, Vaggie barely looked ruffled aside from the strain around her eyes. Vaggie let go of her, patting her on the shoulder.

“That’s enough for now,” she said. “Juice?”

“Yeah,” Velvette said. “I’m just gonna... sit down.”

She stumbled over to the couch (why were her legs so wobbly, what the fuck) Charlie was sitting on, having switched places with Vox at some point.

She beamed at Velvette, squealing, “You and Vaggie looked so good together!”

Heat rose to her face again. Vaggie passed her a cup of maybe-apple juice, sitting on Charlie’s other side. She wrapped a possessive arm around Charlie.

“It was nice to spin someone,” Vaggie said, staring at Velvette over Charlie’s shoulder.

Velvette stared back and tried not to remember the feeling of Vaggie’s biceps. “It was fun,” she finally said; taking a sip of her juice.

Velvette tuned out the girlfriend’s conversation after that. She had bigger things to worry about – like how the fuck was she meant to deal with having a crush on both of them?

Shit.
