Pains, Doubts and Friends

This one-shot is about @anglerflsh 's OC Wik and takes place in @sergeantsporks 's Gilded Family AU post-canon. If you are unfamiliar with them, I would recommend checking them out! Both very cool people with very cool AU's

Word count: 1848

William slowly started to wake up when a mild pain in his left leg registered in his mind. Out of reflex, he brought his knee up to his upper body to make it more bearable. His right hand didn’t seem to stick and panic rushed through him at the sight of the green goop. Wide-eyed he opened the drawer of the nightstand with his good hand, momentarily shutting out the pain coming from his leg. His hand trembled as he grabbed the nearest elixir. He opened it with his mouth and gulped it all down.

Only then the overall exhaustion came to notice. Great, it was going to be one of those days. Begrudgingly, he sank into his pillows. Even though it was pretty early in the morning, most of the residents should be up already. Maybe he should just try to go back to sleep until later so not as many would have to see his face.

In the end, he decided to continue to read the “Owner’s Manual” Jason got back from the human realm. He was always interested in how humans found solutions to their problems without magic, especially the modern ones, which really was a thorn in Belos’ eyes looking back on it. A smile appeared on his face as he turned to the next page to find a post-it note which read, “Tried to recreate this part, but it blew up. Maybe you can help me next time? -Jason".

After some time, his door opened slowly while Hunter’s head was poking out. Upon making eye contact, Hunter finally stepped fully into the room. “Oh, good. You’re awake. I was wondering where you were at breakfast.”

“Don’t worry about me, I already a-” Wik interrupted his sentence-”Actually, I didn’t go because my leg hurt.”

Half-Lies. They were still lies, ‘but a step forward nonetheless’.

“Oh, do you want me to bring you something?” Hunter asked.

He just wanted to brush it off and say no. But he really did feel terrible in every fiber of his body. ‘You can always ask for help, kid.’

“Fine, you can fetch me some food if you really want to.”

Surprisingly, Hunter smiled. “I’ll be quick!” And with that, he left the room.

Hunter stayed true to his promise and came back with two slices of toast with roarberry jam and a bowl of fruit salad. William had become too predictable.

Hunter moved around the bed to sit in the office chair at his desk, watching Wik. “Thank you, Hunter. You can leave now. You don’t have to worry about me”, he groaned.

The other bit his under lip and turned his head away. “I’m just worried about you, I guess. You haven’t made any friends.”

“I’m used to it and I don’t miss the lack of them. But you have some and I am sure they will be more than happy to spend time with you, so why don’t you pay them a visit?”, he said immediately.

Hunter looked at him again, “It’s not just that! To me, it looks like you are avoiding everyone! You stay in your room most of the time while you should be out there and- and- I don’t know! See the Boiling Isles! Gush with Luz, Guz and Eda about human things! Do what you want to do! Nobody is controlling you anymore.”

Wik made a face. “You know that Luz still hates me after breaking her trust? She probably can't even look at me. And I do talk with Sam from time to time! And Jason gave me this book!”

“Luz doesn’t hate that easily. She forgave me even though I was being a jerk. You just have to talk things through. Besides, how much do you know about Sam and Jason? How much have you tried to get to know them? How much do they know about you?” Worry painted Hunter’s face. His concern seemed genuine. How can he trust people so easily?

“Look, I know what I want and it isn’t friendship.” Nobody would want to be friends with him.

Hunter stood up from his chair, slowly moving towards the door. He faced William one last time and said, “That’s what I thought, too. But once people gave me the chance, once I got the chance, my opinion changed. Friendship is something beautiful and I think you should try it. See you.” Following that, he left.

Hunter’s words left William with questions. Who would even want to be friends with him? He didn’t even like most people he knew, he simply tolerated them. Phoenix did try to make a conversation a few times and Wik knew that he knew Phoenix at one point but these days, he is just another stranger. Luz is out of the question. Even if she ‘forgave’ him, she just was too naive in his view.

Anyone in this house is clearly out of the question too. His small curse sign on his cheek was enough to bring Chryses into a panic attack and he startled Cherry because he stood on the wrong side the one time he did seek out conversation with someone. And there were many side eyes during the first weeks, which the others didn’t think he would notice.

He didn’t mind it this way. Wik liked being by himself and knew how to entertain oneself. Forming relationships was never easy, the few times when people wanted to know him better. There is always the feeling of mistrust and even then, he didn’t know what to say.

Suddenly, the door opened again. The figure came in without knocking, closing the door behind him and immediately stepping towards Wik. “I heard you are experiencing pain?”, Auric asked, pretty recognizable due to the heavy scarring on his throat. He also had a tablet with him, which he placed onto the nightstand.

“This is a painkiller,” he handed William a small vial, “And this is an ointment. I’ll leave this one here, use it every night before going to bed.” He pointed to a jar which he placed directly onto the nightstand.

Closely he eyed the vial. It didn’t have the same sparkles from the sleeping nettles as the last painkiller he got when he first arrived here. Auric questioned his observation, “It’s not poisoned if you think that.”

“Then why is that one different to that one I got previously?” Wik narrowed his eyes. Auric rolled his eyes with a grin. “Of course you would notice this. The painkiller you got last time was a very potent one with sleeping nettles and dreamsbane. Because the pain comes from an old, healed injury, I figured you don’t need a strong one. It’s the one I use on a regular basis, if that matters.”

William narrowed his eyes even further. Auric chuckled, “Most Grimwalkers react the same when they first arrive here. Mistrustful, in denial, thinking everyone is out to get them. You are like this too. You’re not different from the others despite being made from a different person. You want to know why?”

Wik looked skeptically up to him. “Because you are your own person,” Auric said, “So don’t be afraid to ask questions no matter the issue. If you are interested in something, ask. If you want something, ask. If you just don’t want to be lonely, just ask. I would have preferred it if you had asked for me directly when you are in pain. There is no need to suffer in this house.”

The words registered in William’s brain. It was hard to believe. Engaging in fantasy might let him down. But he didn’t think that the painkiller was going to kill him anymore, so he drank it.

As soon as it was empty, Auric took the vial from him and asked, “Are you planning on leaving your bed today?”

Wik didn’t look up and just shrugged. “Because if you’re not, I would do some exercises with you to strengthen your joints and muscles in that leg,” Auric said.

William sank into his pillows again, “Okay then. Fine by me.” Auric reached his hands towards his leg, before he pulled away, “Permission to Touch?” “No, just tell me what to do.”

Auric sighed, “It would be more efficient if you would let me help you the first time. I won’t force you, but you know my advice.” “Still no,” Wik answered.

Auric raised his eyebrows, “Okay, your decision. What you are gonna do is raise your leg as high as you can and hold it for ten seconds. Then you slowly put it down. Repeat that nine more times after.”

Wik followed suit and put his leg up. “Higher. Use your hands for extra help,” Auric said. Wik rolled his eyes and did just that. “Still not high enough. It doesn’t need to be super high but it should be a bit more.”

Annoyed, William groaned, “Fine! You do it!" “Permission to touch, then?” “Yes, now start so you will leave me alone.”

Carefully, Auric took a hold of his leg and slowly moved it up. Wik clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. “Are you okay? We can stop if you want,” Auric asked. “I’m not weak! I can endure this, so just continue.”

Wik removed any signs of discomfort off his face and let Auric do the work. The stretching didn't hurt as much due to the painkiller but he knew he wouldn’t enjoy doing this exercise by himself in the future. However, after it was done his leg did feel more relaxed, so it might be worth considering doing this more often.

Auric stood up, “We are done. Do whatever you want. Just be aware that if we don’t see you again tomorrow, someone will look after you. Other than that, have a good day!” And with that, he too left the room.

He stared at the door for a while, expecting someone else to come through. When nobody came, he picked up his book again.

Wik read the same paragraph three times. He just couldn’t concentrate. Too many questions with no real answers were crossing his mind. It frustrated him, as he was much more rational and logical usually. They could talk about this easily, they all had connections. Hunter even had friends before he ran away.

The closest he had ever gotten to a person while he was in the coven was Belos, who was just a big liar and traitor. He also had many pleasant talks with Lilith Clawthorne about history. Her museum exhibits were interesting too.

An idea came to mind. He pulled out his scroll and opened Penstagram. It was a silly thought. She probably didn’t even have Penstagram.

He typed her name anyway. An account named ‘Chilly.Lily’ came as a top result. The witch on the profile picture did match how she looked during the Collector’s reign. Unsure, he scrolled through her profile and left a few accidental likes here and there.

William hoovered over the ‘Follow’ button. Frantically he looked around before quickly pressing it.

This meant nothing.

I will probably post full bios of everyone later, but here's some things about Corvin, also apologies if this is messy.

💙 Full name is Corvin Aiden Clawthorne (He/him pronouns)

💙 I haven't really finalized a date of birth for Corvin, but he was born sometime around early 2010

💙 He's the only Belos grimwalker, and inherited his Ortet's goop curse

💙 Corvin has never consumed any Palismen, nor does he want to - but he keeps his curse under control by taking a violet elixir

💙 Because of his curse, he can't really leave the castle often (if at all) - because of this, he's a lot more sheltered than the average person on the Boiling Isles

💙 Corvin was born extremely premature, and he almost died - he had to stay in the NICU for a few weeks while his mom was in the maternity ward

💙 He also inherited a lot of things from his mom - like her curly hair (his hair color is a mix between his mom and his Ortet), bent right pinky, etc.

💙 Personality wise, he's nothing like his Ortet - he's actually a sweet little cinnamon roll

(Also I'm calling Belos his Ortet because he doesn't deserve to be called Corvin's father)

(The Belos grimwalker idea was partially inspired by the Wik Hunter AU by @anglerflsh)

How Would Philip treat a grimwalker of himself? Like au wik Hunter from anglerfish or any other Philip grimwalker au?

Considering Philip’s tendency towards self mutilation (and you can not tell me that he doesn’t have an issue with it, especially as a form of self-punishment for even messing around with magic), I would generally assume that he wouldn’t treat a Grimwalker of himself well. At all. Especially considering that he would have to remove his own bones to make a Grimwalker that is a copy of himself.

Additionally, he’d probably hurt the Grimwalker version of himself whenever he (Philip) messed up as a form of displacement. If he also had a Grimwalker of Caleb around at the time, he’d probably try to foster a relationship between the pair that is similar to what Philip had with Caleb. It’d especially be used by him as a form of trying to remember and return to his childhood.

Do you have any more Thoughts about Phillip making a grimwalker of himself? And maybe what that grimwalkers relationship with Hunter would be like?

oh i DO have more thoughts! thank you for asking!

this might be a little unorganized because i'm just kind of dumping my character ideas and what vague concept of a plot/life trajectory i have here, bear with me

so, first of all, i think this grimwalker predates Hunter by a lot. the idea of Hunter and a Philip grimwalker being raised together and interacting is a lot of fun, but the au with Wik/William has that covered imo so i went in a different direction

so my idea is that the two grimwalkers are the ones who Philip has when he first ascends to power as Belos. he makes them the same age, approximately 5 or 6, and what he tells them is that they had to live elsewhere in secret while he took power so no one could use them to hurt him, but now he has this big castle and a secure foothold and they can come live with him, and he tells them he's their father and raises them as twins.

the Caleb grimwalker is named Artemis. per my transfem Caleb headcanon, she's one of Philip's more successful unethical gender experiments - he more or less force femmed her and just raised her as a girl from the start, and while this has historically resulted in some Very Weird Dysphoria and been a contributing factor to the betrayal of several early attempts, it actually works out okay with her because she is in fact a girl, although sadly not really the sturdy farmbutch that Philip wants her to be.

(she's more of a reserved femme type - presentatio-wise, very good Puritan girl fashion, long full skirts and high-necked, long-sleeved blouses in sturdy knits and basic colors, enormous long hair that she usually keeps either up for running around or loose when she's attending meetings etc - not a lot of jewelry or ornamentation, but she has some fancier clothes for Special Occasions

personality-wise she's dutiful, serious, thoughtful but very headstrong and stubborn. she takes her role as princess seriously and genuinely believes that one day she will inherit the throne, so she sees herself as having a duty of care to the people of the Isles - kind of the 'best possible outcome' of a belief in monarchy here, where she sees herself as a superior kind of person and believes this gives her a responsibility to care for and guide those below her and do what's best for them.

as she grows older she learns to temper her impulses, and thinks her decisions through very carefully. after all, she's been taught her whole life that Her Actions Have Consequences, so, if she's going to do or say something, then she needs to be aware of and okay with the potential consequences. this means she's thoughtful but also means that once she's made up her mind, it's almost impossible to change it, because she's already considered every angle and decided she's okay with whatever she can imagine happening as a result.)

the Philip grimwalker is named Mortification-Of-The-Flesh, because Philip is not a subtle man. they call him Morty for short. he's the whipping boy, of course, so his life sucks so incredibly bad because he's the one designated to Suffer For Artemis's Sake.

(and also more than a little for Philip's sake too.)

Morty is a twitchy haunted mess of a recluse with absolutely apocalyptic amounts of rage simmering just beneath the surface at all times. he treats Philip with terrified obedience and respect bordering on worship, is wholeheartedly devoted to Artemis (who is, after all, the entire purpose for his own existence), and is a rude, sarcastic, nasty little shit to absolutely everyone else if he ever interacts with them.

his needs are provided for the same as Artemis's, but of course he's dressed in a much plainer, more ascetic style - lots of black and grey, you know. Philip keeps his head shaved to encourage humility. he's not given a staff or taught how to use magic or how to defend himself at all - that's Artemis's responsibility.

(she's not quite raised as a soldier the way, say, Hunter is later, but she is shown how to use an artificial staff and given combat training, and does eventually get given the position of Golden Guard, i think. in her case it's a lot more "personal bodyguard/caretaker/assistant to the Emperor" rather than the all-around gopher position we see Hunter have.)

he's punished frequently and harshly for any misstep on his sister's part, and he never really gets used to it or quite figures out how to disengage from himself while it's happening. really, his suffering is the point, so if you look at it that way, it would be wrong of him to, right? Artemis watches his punishments and is responsible for patching him up afterwards, to really drive home the lesson that this is her responsibility.

they are... very codependent. they both sort of see Morty as, basically, part of her. not even quite like they're both one person or conjoined in some way, but like he's one of her limbs, something that has no independent will of its own and could not function or exist separately from her, and which ultimately exists only to be controlled and used by her. totally healthy normal sibling relationship here!

Morty's very angry a lot of the time. he has an interesting status - barely even a person in his own family, but he exists to be punished for them, not for anyone else. since he isn't really an independent person and he doesn't really have any autonomy and he exists as the living embodiment of Philip and Artemis's penance, then he can't really get in trouble for anything he does to anyone else, right?

so he's just kind of an asshole and a terror to most other people. the castle staff and coven heads stay out of his way. this is easy because he likes to keep to himself anyway.

he lives a very aimless sort of life, just drifting around the castle or trailing after Artemis. he picks up a lot of gossip, i imagine, and shares it with her, and he's her errand boy whenever she wants to get something done without being seen to have done it herself.

i think these two make it into their early to mid 20s.

at some point, something happens, i'm not exactly sure what, but it's a bit of a lightbulb moment for Artemis. she realizes that Morty is, in fact, An Entire Separate Person, and furthermore that this whole whipping boy arrangement is extremely fucked up, and mulls that over for a bit and comes to the conclusion that it should stop, but when she tries to present this idea to their father, well, it does not go very well to say the least.

this earns Morty a ferocious punishment, and to really drive the point home, Philip makes Artemis be the one to inflict it. she does learn a lesson here, but not the one he wanted: she learns that perhaps her father is wrong and is not as reasonable as he likes to act, and decides that she and Morty need to get out of there. (and maybe she can go spend some time living amongst the common people, learning how they see things, etc etc...)

so that's a whole thing, she does the like Mulan plot-relevant haircut, dresses them both up all incognito and takes some money and goes. they end up wandering for a bit and then finally settle in a city a ways away from the castle, and get taken in by some good samaritan who recognizes they need help and offers them a room to rent and work at their business.

they have, oh, maybe a year or two of freedom, but of course eventually Philip catches them. :o) he kills both of them, burns down the shop/apartment, and has the person who housed them captured to publicly execute and Make An Example Out Of - see what this vicious wild witch did to his poor dear children?

he made sure to keep a bit more distance between himself and the next couple of grimwalkers, and he never made one of himself again.
