Golden Wings

Chapter 1: Fairy Changes

So, I decided I wanted to post my fic here as well as on ao3. Please enjoy. If you wanna continue reading, you can do so on this blog or on ao3. Check my pinned post for a link to get to the fic on ao3.

The night before he woke up changed is…not noteworthy. He says goodnight to Peri, brushes his teeth, washes his face, and has his au-pairs deactivate his alarm for the weekend.

Settled under his covers, Dev only spares a few thoughts towards the day. It had been a decent one. School had been okay. He'd terrorized a few other kids, been subjected to a lecture by Peri for it. Came home and ate dinner before being bombarded with potential wish ideas by his godparent. Probably out of guilt over the lecture if Dev had to guess. After a few hours of pointless wishes, Dev had resolved to finally go to sleep.

After a quick hug from Peri, he had dismissed the other to get ready for bed. Overall, an okay day. No devastating realization of just how awful a person he was. How he didn't deserve to have Peri back. How really the godparenting system was making a huge mistake giving him a fairy godparent again. And how inevitably, he would screw this all up again soon.

Nah. None of that today. Instead, Dev fell peacefully asleep with all his worst fears and usual nightmares fluttering around in the back of his mind.

It had been a typical but not out of the ordinary day.

When he wakes up the next morning with an awful ache radiating through his whole body and a fierce itch at his back, he thinks ‘Ahh yes, karma my old friend you've come back again’.

With a heavy sigh he finds himself climbing out of bed, not his bed though, ‘ weird’ , he thinks.

Only to immediately find himself plunging towards the ground at a high speed.

There is a careful warm caress that envelops his body and slows his descent all the while stopping his fear from overwhelming his body completely. But even as he feels himself grow calm he still ends up face planting into the fluffy carpet of the ground.

It hurts. Not as bad as it would have had his descent not been slowed, but it still hurts.

Lifting his face up off the carpet he takes the time to carefully grasp at his face with a careful hand. Brushing a hand against his nose has him flinching back hard. He feels something wet on his hands and before he even glances at it he already knows it's blood.

‘Probably broken’ , he thinks as he finally brings his eyes to face his blood covered fingers, only to freeze at the sight.

Because instead of the usual dark red of human blood, he is faced with a glittery concoction of shimmery red with rainbow sparkles reflecting back at him.

He feels his breath begin to come faster as he stares down at the slippery substance. Tears blur at the edges of his vision as he tries to make sense of the situation.

Feeling a lump begin to develop in his throat Dev places his hand down on the floor and instead focuses on trying to sit up. Ignoring his hand, ignoring the blood!

Only to realize that sitting up feels weird. Heavier than usual. Like there is a weight on his back that shouldn't be there.

With a heavy feeling of trepidation, Dev turns his head to look behind him, biting his lips hard to stifle oncoming sobs and blinking rapidly to will away the tears that are threatening to fall.

What he finds has him giving up on both endeavors and crying out in a mixture of frustration and fear.

Because there are now wings attached to him! Gold glittery wings! Not fairy wings but still!

They're large and delicate looking, more circular than oval like Peri's, with small filigree on the very edges where the wings taper off into little nubs instead of sharp points, with an almost translucent gold color that makes the flickers of fairy dust that fall to the floor look like mist settling off of a waterfall.

They shimmer with every small beat that he can feel. He shudders at the feeling and the wings shudder with him.

Frantically scrambling to get up, Dev turns the best he can to reach his hands behind himself and pull .

What he finds out by doing that is not favorable. What he finds is that it hurts. It hurts so much worse than the faceplant. Hurts more than the awful suspicion that bloomed upon seeing his blood on his hands.

No, this pain is beyond whatever he was feeling before because It's not just a physical pain that he feels. It is a spiritual one. It is a pain that bursts from behind his heart and brain. Overwhelming in a way he has only felt once before. It chokes him up and spears him at the same time, rendering him incapable of thinking, much less speaking coherently. Instead, it leaves him sobbing on the ground, tears falling down his face as he tries to come up with words to express his hurt.

His hurt over having his life taken out of his own hands. His hurt at losing what little control he had over his own being. His hurt over losing his own humanity.

His soul hurts over this situation. He was human just this morning! And now he’s been turned into some unholy magical abomination with weird looking wings and even weirder looking blood!

His head hurts, his whole body hurts. It aches and itches and feels too tight and too small. There is a burrowing feeling underneath his skin. Like something is trying to leach out of him. If he had to garner a guess, he'd say it was coming from the overwhelming heat piling up in the very core of his being. It leaves him feeling desperately afraid.

He'd go as far as to say the fear is tearing his heart apart. But he doesn't think he has one of those anymore.

After all, he hasn't been able to hear his own heartbeat for the entire time he's been awake.

He's in such a state of distress that he doesn't even hear the sound of the door opening up behind him, doesn't hear the rapid flaps of wings that follow after either. Only realizes that someone has entered the room at all when a large hand falls on his small shaking shoulders as he's preoccupied bawling his eyes out and tugging at the wings attached to his back like they might come undone at any moment if he just tugs hard enough!

‘They’re not going to’, he thinks, as he turns to meet purple eyes and purple hair attached to a face that holds a nervous smile and hopeful eyes.

Golden Wings

Chapter 2: Rejection

And chapter 2 is out!

Looking up into his godparent’s eyes, Dev comes to the awful realization that this had been no mistake. It had been done on purpose.

Before Peri can say a word to him. Dev is screaming at him, shouting in a great rage tinted with the stinging feeling of betrayal. His hands yank and grasp at whatever part of Peri he can reach, which turns out to be his pants legs because now that he is noticing, he is much smaller then Peri now instead of slightly bigger in size.

The fairy absolutely dwarfs him, and for some reason that elicits a sense of fear. One that he does his best to ignore.

As Peri reaches down to put his hands on Dev. He finally manages to bring himself back to a form of coherency. He finds himself pulling back in a violent fashion. Tearing himself away from Peri like he's infected with a plague. Peri’s hands retract and a hurt look crosses his face and eyes.

‘Good’, Dev thinks. Let the fairy feel a bit of the hurt Dev is currently experiencing.

“Dev?”, Peri's voice sounds so unbelievably gentle, it immediately sets Dev off again.

“What. Did. You. Do?!?” Dev spits out between gritted teeth. But Dev already has an idea of what Peri has done. And given Peri's own expression, he knows Dev already suspects. What he really wants to know is why.

So he asks, tears of frustration and hurt, physical and emotional, falling down his face, face flushed, and eyes hyper focused on his godparent.

Peri looks even more guilty by the second as his face remains focused on Dev, but there is also a look of sheer determination making its way across his face, it leaves him feeling a flicker of fear. Something tells him he will not enjoy what explanation is about to come.

“Dev-” Peri’s arms moved forward, almost as if to take Dev into his arms, but Dev quickly moves out of range again. Shuffling backwards to make sure his godparent can not touch him. He doesn’t know if he does it because his feelings are hurt, or because his whole body hurts. That ache that he woke up with is ever present and he feels it begin to pulse faster the more he thinks about Peri’s betrayal.

Peri’s arms fall back down, and this time he doesn’t attempt to move towards Dev again. Instead he kneels down on the floor to be closer to Dev’s level.

Even on his knees he still towers over Dev. Having to tilt his head back in order to properly look at him evokes a weird feeling in Dev. Something is not right about the view. About the whole situation really, but especially the size difference between the two. He is not used to his fairy godparent being so much bigger than him. With the exception of the very few times Peri has taken on a human form in order to keep Dev safe, Dev has never felt so small in front of him. It’s eerie. It’s flat out wrong.

His eyes fall to the floor in order not to face his godparent. This attempt to bring them back to even ground makes his conviction waver. It doesn’t help that Peri is looking at him with such loving eyes. The genuine care reflected on Peri’s face makes Dev’s ‘insides’ twist uncomfortably, alongside making that small feeling of hope in his chest rise.

He is not worthy of that love. He knows this. He’s proven it. And yet…he would like nothing more than to accept it.

It is an old argument that he’s spun around his head for the past year. And just like he’s always convinced himself, he refuses to give in, he can’t accept it. Because accepting it would mean inevitably bracing himself for the hurt that will come when he messes it up. He’s already done so before, he knows he’ll do it again.

He doesn't think he can stomach the disappointment in Peri’s eyes when he does mess up again.

Turning his head away in order not to look Peri in the face, Dev finds his hands bunching up the soft fabric of his pajama shorts, he can’t help but notice it’s purple. His socks too, are plush and purple, with little star motifs on the ankles. For some reason these details make his breath hitch, and a wave of new tears invade his vision. He doesn’t let them fall though, he doesn’t want to. It’s such a stupid thing to cry over. The details shouldn’t mean anything and yet for some reason they make him want to break down even further. Make him want to sob and be held like a stupid little baby. To cry and be held. Preferably by someone with stupid purple hair and eyes, and a smile and voice that makes him think that everything is gonna be okay.

But he can’t…he just…can’t.

And for some reason that fact makes him want to cry even more.

With that thought in mind, his tears emerge again and he brings a fist up to his mouth to muffle the oncoming sobs. The burning ache increases and even through his closed eyes he can feel sparks of…something pop in the corner of his eyes. The feeling spooks him temporarily out of his urge to cry at the same time that a large hand comes up to carefully cup the side of his face. The hand gently tilts his face to look into the face of its owner and through blurry eyes Dev looks into the face of the person he loves the most. The tender look in his eyes makes Dev want to break down even further.

“I did this for you”, Peri murmurs softly, hand still holding Dev in place, keeping him from turning away from Peri again, “I wanted, more than anything, to keep you safe.”

Oh.

Somehow, despite already feeling terrible about this whole situation, Dev begins to feel even worse.

Because that's the crux of the issue, isn't it? That despite all that Dev has done to him, berated him, humiliated him, almost fucking killed him! Peri still cared. He still cared.

Why did he still care?

“But why?” Dev whispers, unable to bring himself to speak any louder. That tight burning feeling is beginning to roll even more intensely than before inside of him, Dev would say it was rolling around in his stomach, but he doesn’t think he has one anymore. Not in the human sense at least. Which, ow, that just hurts to think about at this point. So he resolves to push that to the very bottom of his subconscious. In the same place where he stores his memories of his takeover of FairyWorld.

Peri’s brow furrows at his question, at least that’s what Dev assumes happens, his eyes are still teary and he has yet to blink, he doesn’t want to let those tears fall. It feels wrong, they aren’t discussing his hurts, they’re discussing Peri’s. It feels rude, selfish even. Dev doesn’t really think he has the right to cry over such things. Instead Dev continues to stare in the direction of Peri’s face, eyes stinging but determined to continue.

Peri finally speaks, “What do you mean? You’re my kid. Do I need a reason to love and care?” The words are said with such audible confusion, Dev can’t hold back the feeling of happiness that explodes in his chest. But he quickly shuts that down. He doesn’t deserve Peri or his affections, his love and care. It was only part of his job. Dev didn’t want to get his hopes up.

“Even after what I did? Even after…” Dev pauses, the fear of speaking the words aloud staying his voice, but he needs to say it, needs to acknowledge it,”..even after I almost killed you?”

The air stills, Dev’s eyes close. He does not blink. He does not say anything. For a moment he simply blocks it all out, everything. He doesn't want to hear the answer. He doesn’t want to find out what Peri’s response will be to his question. They’d never acknowledged how his takeover of FairyWorld had gone. How Dev had so severely fucked everything and everyone over that the only way to fix it had been to use that stupid millionth cupcake wish.

Even then, Dev would never be able to scrub the sight of the Fairies and Anti-Fairies bodies collapsing under the weight of their magic malfunctioning, leaving behind smears of rainbow and silvery blood. He hadn’t known his little takeover would end in such a brutal manner, had never wanted to hurt anyone in such a way. But that didn’t really matter, it had been done. And the only way to reverse it had been to turn everything back. Which he had done with gusto.

No one else really remembered it. Not in full detail anyways. But Dev hadn’t been so lucky. The details of Peri’s body collapsed in a bloody rainbow heap at the bottom of a cage as he begged Dev to do something, anything, would never leave him. Even just thinking about that day hurt. But he needed to think about it. Acknowledge the damage. And not be surprised if Peri changed his mind about loving him. He certainly would if he was in Peri’s shoes.

He braced himself for the inevitable rejection. It was a good thing his eyes were still closed.

Instead he felt a large body encompass his own, bringing him close into a warm embrace. The scent of lilacs and lavender invaded his nose and the taste of cotton candy grapes suddenly appeared on his tongue. Peri’s arms and magic had enveloped him.

Before he knew it, he was being pulled up and off the ground and held close, his face buried in the chest of someone who held him like they never wanted to let him go. With his eyes still closed, tears fell down despite his internal protests. Sniffles began to escape him too. And when a hand came to rest on his head, with fingers gently running through his hair, he finally broke down, burying himself further into the chest.

“Oh Dev”, came the muffled voice of his godparent, “Of course I still love you even after all that. I could never stop, no matter how hard or difficult things get, I promise you I’ll never stop.” Peri paused in his efforts to soothe him, and then maneuvered Dev so that he was facing him. A clear message that he wanted Dev to look him in the face, to see the sincerity with which he spoke his words.

“Heck if I can get through my brother erasing me from existence, I can certainly get through an almost death experience with you.” The fairy joked.

Dev paused and hiccuped at the sentence. There was a lot to unpack regarding that sentence. Because as poor of an attempt at a joke it had been there was clearly some uneasiness to the way the words had been delivered.

Dev just stared at his godparent, confused and a little freaked out. He still couldn’t let go of his past actions and was unwilling to let the matter of Peri’s almost death go. It felt unreal, being forgiven. He almost didn’t want to believe it.

He couldn’t believe it actually, this had to be a dream, some unholy creation of his subconscious that was trying to put his guilt to rest.

Of course! OF COURSE!

How could he be so stupid! Being forgiven for his murder attempt on his godparent and the entire species of Fairies and Anti-Fairies, however unintentional it had been. Goodness, how could he be so stupid as to fall for this? And waking up as some unholy fairy human hybrid? No, it was clear his mind was playing tricks on him. And he had fallen for it. It was no wonder he’d felt so uncomfortable since ‘waking’. The burning, crackling sensation that was clawing at his insides was clearly his mind's attempt to wake him up.

Well he wouldn’t fall for it any longer. He was going to wake up. Wake up in his own bed, in his lonely room, in a lonely tower, where the only thing to greet him before 8am would be his au pairs.

Yes, that was right, that was correct. It’s what he deserved.

Still the thought of going back to normalcy hurt more than he would like to admit. Especially as he stared at the warm and loving face of his godparent, held by him like he was something precious and worth protecting.

‘It’s fine, ' he thought, ‘I’ll see him in a little bit after I wake up.’ And yet he still felt hurt.

There was no use in dwelling on it though. Instead Dev merely laid his head back down on Peri’s chest, curled himself up a little more in the steadying embrace of his godparent, and breathed in once, twice, and then spoke, “It’s okay. I know you don’t mean that. But that’s alright. This is just a dream anyways. I just hope I get to remember it when I wake up.”

With that said Dev closed his eyes and focused on waking up, he didn’t want to remain in this dream now that he knew the truth. He didn’t want to torment himself further with what he could never have.

Reaching out to that particular sensation buried in his body, the only thing in him because he was fairly sure it held no human organs, which did not disturb him as much as it had just a few minutes ago, he pulled. The crackling stinging sensation rushed over his entire body so suddenly he almost didn’t have enough time to realize the pain that followed, almost.

With a sudden poof, he was gone, leaving nothing but a sparkly glitter fallout in the arms of his godparent.

Hi hello! My name is Sweetie and this is my first ever side blog purely dedicated to a character!

I specifically created this blog to share my various Au's regarding Dev from Fairly OddParents A New Wish. As well as promote some of my fics! Of which includes my fic, Golden Wings on Ao3.

This fic explores Dev and Peri's relationship as father and son and the various roadblocks they experience after Dev awakens unexpectedly in Fairy World as a Half Fairy Half Human hybrid. The first ever recorded one in history. It explored themes of Guilt, Regret, Forgiveness, Family, and Healing.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66708031/chapters/172111471

As well as the side fic that may or may not be canon, Bottles of Milk. Where Peri struggles to take care of Dev who is adamant on not being treated like a baby despite the fact that it may actually help him.

I also plan to drop lore and details that I either can't fit into the fic or simply don't plan to elaborate much on.

I'm open to asks regarding my Au's or detailed scenarios from others (SFW) that you send. Any NSFW asks will not be posted.

Of course this blog covers many heavy topics such as Depression, Suicidal Ideations, Self Loathing, Self Harm, Abandonment, negligence, Harm of Children, PTSD and many other topics. But things relating to sexual topics will not appear on this blog (at most there might be a reference to it in my Golden Wings fic). This does not include things such as Sexual Identity, as that will be a covered topic in my fic.

With that I hope you guys enjoy what I cook up here!

The episode "1500 Minutes of Fame" is still so hilarious to me.

Dev says to Hazel that she'd be voted most forgettable.

When she walks into the classroom after making the wish...

Instead of being a hater like we later see Principal Krentz being, he's actually one of her many glazers instead.

This is quite telling since, at the end of the previous episode, we see Dev in front of Hazel's apartment building despite never being invited there before.

Obviously, this girl is memorable enough for you to find out where she lives.

It would've easy to make him a hater, considering in the episode after "1500 Minutes of Fame", not only is he seen being in cahoots with Principle Krentz...

Despite being a pudding addicted zombie, Dev STILL goes out of his way to get Hazel's name wrong.

This boy is both her biggest hater and glazer!

the fandom’s characterization of peri becoming a father to dev will always be interesting to me because where it did it even come from ???

I mean in operation birthday takeback, bro CLEARLY did not care. He honestly seemed so disinterested and didn’t even care when they went into his dad’s private office by accident. He didn’t seem care or smile for his godkid when he was happy. Even got a little mean when Hazel made a nice wish for him with the rocket boots (“Well that should keep him entertained for about 10 minutes” or smth like that)

Lost in Fairy World he didn’t really seem to care either??? he really only just wanted his wand and to ‘look good’ in front of his godkid and do things his way without his parents interfering. Sort of like how a babysitter wants to look good in front of the family of the kid they’re looking after if that makes sense.

The only time we ever seen him actually care about dev was in the finale when he said that. But even after fairy world got turned to normal he didn’t really seem sad about dev??? he was just smiling after, seemed genuine too and not a fake one. Maybe it’s just me, but if I was a fairy and lost my first godkid, who took over my home, I would be doing anything BUT smiling, even if we won in the end. Peri doesn’t seem like one to hide his emotions easily either (maybe I’m reading into his character wrong)

You could bring up best of luck, which I would say is a fair point, but I’m going to bring back the babysitter/job synonym. Wouldn’t you get jealous of the person that stole your position or place in a work environment after you got fired?? Especially if your rival/enemy took that position?? I PERSONALLY don’t think the jealousy comes from a place of care, but maybe that’s just me.

It could honestly just be the fandom’s way of coping since Dev doesn’t seem to have any good people in his life after the finale, but why Peri? I mean if you really want to make one of the fairies a father figure to dev, I’d say the anti fairies more over are his family but that’s IF we have to choose.

Don’t get me wrong, I do think all of the peri and dev being a father son duo is super cute and heartwarming!! I love seeing all of the art and fics of that because it really is sweet :3 but to me, it just doesn’t really make sense and seems more out of character for Peri if anything.

He seems to care more about following Da Rules in my opinion. And while I do think it’s important to follow rules, especially when it comes to a job, you shouldn’t rely on them. At a job, you shouldn’t be constantly looking over rules to make sure you’re following them, you might end up tripping over yourself. That’s what Peri ended up doing.

If I assign the duo as anything, it would be the tired babysitter who just wants to get paid and the kid he’s looking after. A dude working a 9-5 at his job he couldn’t really care less about (dev).

I mean (only from his words) he wanted to go into the family business. Not because he genuinely cares for kids, but because it’s what his family has done. He’s treating godparenting as work, not stepping into a kids family and genuinely looking after them.

I do wonder if he would act the same way if he had an easier godkid.

BUT!!!! that’s just my thoughts. I’m sorry if I got anything wrong and feel me to correct me if I did !! Also if you disagree with anything that I’m saying, tell me why in either the replies or reblogs !! I would love to hear other people’s perspectives or opinions.

That’s it 😨 thank you so much for coming to another yap session and I hope you have a great day/night wherever you are in the world <3
