Quidditch: Chaser, team captain from fifth year on

Extra Curriculars:

- Dueling Club

- Assistant for Kettleburn

- Weekly Legilimency lessons from Snape

Favorite Professors:

- Professor Kettleburn: Tessa adores his wacko personality and enthusiasm for creatures. He's encouraged her whenever she feels hopeless and is a surprisingly good listener

- Professor Flitwick: The number of times Tessa has nearly cried in his class is insane. She used to be worried about being too unskilled at magic and her nerves made her fail a spell at first, but Flitwick was gentle and talked her through it until she was one of the best in the class. Her bad nerves left in third year, but he's still more gentle with her

Least Favorite Professors:

- Professor Trelawney: Tessa is good at Divination. She enjoys Divination. What she does not enjoy is Trelawney acting like a freak and driving people out of the class. Tessa learns much more from her textbook than from the professor

- Professor Snape: Yes, he's her head of house, but he's an asshole. He's insulting to her and many others and makes her feel more worthless than she already does. If she didn't have Gracie and Penny to help her learn outside of class, she would have failed his O.W.L. Her Legilimency lessons are the worst part of her week

Relationships

Twin Sister: Gracie Tessa Chiva

- Gracie is only eight and a half minutes older than her, but Tessa sometimes feels like Gracie is years older

- She regrets quitting the vaults because she feels like she and Gracie are different people now

- Tessa still blames herself for Gracie's curse. She can't remember the incident, but her wand was two inches from her hand when she woke up and she had no injuries besides the concussion that she thinks is just from falling, so she believes she failed her sister

- Tessa desperately wants her sister's approval and doesn't realize just how much her sister loves her

- She wishes she could do something to protect Gracie for a change

- They were super close as kids and grew apart in the later school years

- All Tessa wants to do most of the time is latch onto Gracie and never let her go into danger again

Older Brother: Vance Riley Chiva

- This bastard

- Vance always favored Gracie

- Tessa still loved him, but she would sometimes feel excluded

- Vance did in fact leave her a few memories, but they were locked in the same box with Gracie's and when Tessa saw how many more Gracie got, she refused to watch hers

- When Vance is freed in fifth year but leaves again without seeing her first, Tessa shatters the picture of him, her and Gracie. It's repaired the next morning, and stays fixed until the end of sixth year when Gracie shatters it too

- Tessa hates Vance

- When he dies in place of her, she realizes she never hated him. She loved him and just wanted him to love her

Younger Cousin: Aiden Carter Darkling

- Aiden is the son of Rachel Chiva, Jason's sister. Rachel and Aiden's father divorced while he was still young, but it was relatively amicable and he comes around for holidays

- Tessa never payed the kid much attention when they were younger, but after he started Hogwarts she took him under her wing a lot

- Aiden comes to her for advice when he has his first crush, when he's nervous about a test, or simply needs a hug. Tessa gets to be a big sister and she loves it

- She's way closer to Aiden than Gracie is, and Aiden isn't hesitant to tell Tessa that he likes her far better. It makes her feel good

Mother: Clarissa Vanessa Black

- Tessa loves her mother, but she doesn't agree with her on a lot of things

- She tries her hardest to make her mother proud, because she knows she's the only "decent" child Clarissa has left

- She actually suggested a contract marriage in hopes of making her mother happy. She was really confused when Clarissa forcefully shut the idea down, not realizing all that her mother went through in her own past

- When Tessa is in her coma in seventh year, she hears her mother go insane (it's what wakes her up) and realizes just how much Clarissa loves her

- Tessa takes much longer to figure out Clarissa and Margaret than Gracie does

- She keeps better in contact with her mother throughout her adulthood than Gracie

- Family dinners are awkward but hey, they're still family

Father: Jason Harvey Chiva

- Tessa, like Gracie, admired Jason a lot as a child

- She only visited his Auror office a few times, because while she thought it was cool she wasn't interested in it as a career

- Tessa didn't see him murder their family friend and didn't believe it when Jason's partner Thomas came to tell her and Clarissa

- She still can't quite believe it, and she misses him a lot, which is why she carries his watch with her *cough cough daddy issues cough*

- The day Gracie has to kill Jason, Tessa destroys the watch

- He tries to kill Margaret in front of Tessa's young daughter Octavia, and that's when Tessa fully believes that Jason lost his mind

Ex Boyfriend: Barnaby Lee

- They met in first year (obviously, they're in the same house), but Tessa never paid him any attention

- It was only in second year when she and Liz were allowed to start getting early lessons from Kettleburn that she started noticing him

- Barnaby was a character during these early lessons

- He hadn't actually signed up for them, but he heard Liz talk about them and just assumed they were open to anyone

- Kettleburn didn't care obviously, he's a bit unstable anyway

- Barnaby would always carry the heavy stuff and Tessa's raging puberty hormones took one look at the muscles and said "heyyyyyyyyy"

- Then of course she actually started talking to him, and dear fucking god was he dumb. But then she talked to him more and he actually wasn't? He was kinda smart in a weird way? And really really nice?

- She never told him she liked him, and by the end of the year he was starting to slip under Merula's control

- Tessa was the one to try and get him to think for himself in year three. She's also the one who dueled him, and she lost miserably, but she stood back up whenever he knocked her down and he admired that. A few weeks later, he asked her out to Hogsmeade

- Gracie was pissed but Tessa didn't care that much

- They were a super cute couple and all of Slytherin (besides her dorm mates) shipped them so hard

- They ended up growing apart in fourth year and deciding they're better off as friends

Love Interest: River Mund

- As of sixth year, they are not together, though it's pretty obvious they both fancy each other

- River is an exchange student from Ilvermorny who arrives the same day as Alanza. Tessa is made to be their tour guide, and while showing them around she can't help but notice that this (very handsome) new boy seems really stressed out. She assumes it's from being so far from home and tries to be encouraging, but he doesn't say a single word the entire time

- River ends up staying in the Slytherin dorms, and Tessa watches him all the time (just out of curiosity of course). He almost never talks to anyone, and is very jumpy when someone gets too close

- After about a month of this, Tessa decides to sit down at the same table as him while doing homework. He seems almost scared of her, but after a week it becomes normal, and she hears his voice for the first time when he asks her for help on his CoMC essay. Another week, and when River packs up his things to go to the dorms, he leaves her a folded up piece of parchment containing a poem he wrote about her

- Tessa starts noticing how often River sneaks into the Forbidden Forest, and gets curious enough to follow him. This is how she discovers he's a vampire - a rarer subspecies theorized to be stemmed from partial vampire breeding together

- River is horrified and thinks she'll hate him since he hates himself. He wasn't born a vampire. His family illegally paid a vampire to break into the hospital and change him to save him from cancer without any input from him. It's why he wanted to come to Hogwarts, to get away from them

- Tessa is scared, obviously, but she tries her best not to show it because he had just started to open up and she didn't want to lose the progress they had been making. When she tells him she's not scared of him River doesn't look like he believes her, but he's so relieved she's trying that he hugs her

- They very quickly become much closer after that, and Tessa realizes that she might be in too deep when she shoves her wrist in his face for him to drink from when he weakly confesses he hasn't had any blood in two weeks without a second thought

- He buys her the ring during January. He claims it's for being such a good friend, but Tessa hopes it's because he likes her (they're both so oblivious)

- They'll get together in seventh year over Christmas break. They both stay behind at the school, and end up confessing while sitting in front of the fire in the Slytheirn common room

Best Friend: Liz Tuttle

- Tessa and Liz met in first year, the first night in the dorms

- Liz, being her awkward self, asked slightly too loudly if anyone wanted to discuss the Fwooper

- Tessa did indeed want to discuss the Fwooper

- Boom, best friends

- Tessa tries being vegan like Liz but can't take it, and reverts to being vegetarian. She's not exactly good at that either, but she never eats meat in front of Liz (at home is fair game)

- She and Liz spend a lot of their free time outside, sneaking into the forest even

- On an assignment from Kettleburn, they accidentally discover the Room of Requirement and now spend free time during bad weather in there

- Liz constantly reassures her that she's not a bad sister for stepping back from the vaults

Rival: Skye Parkin

- They may have been teammates, but Tessa and Skye HATED each other. It really threw off the team dynamics for a while

- Tessa almost quit because Skye made practices miserable for her, and this is when she and Erika ended up friends. Erika convinced her to stay on the team and make Quidditch miserable for Skye instead, and even helped train her

- Orion picking Tessa as his successor and not Skye (who was a year older and more experienced) made Skye so mad she broke her broom and quit. Tessa couldn't help being happy about that. Skye brings out her inner pettiness

Enemy: Vance Riley Chiva

- Tessa is just so sure he's lost all humanity

- She's mad at him for getting them into this mess in the first place

- She swears the next time she sees him, she's going to smack him

- She doesn't get the chance, nor does she get to say anything at all

Dormmates:

- Gracie Chiva

- Liz Tuttle

- Rowan Khanna: they're friends, but very casually, as Rowan is Gracie's best friend

- Merula Snyde: they're not friends, nor will they ever be, but they try very hard not to argue for Gracie's sake

- Ismelda Murk: they too are not friends, but they study History of Magic together because they have similar studying styles and both find the subject interesting

- Colette Belrose: see below

Pets:

- Ruby, the family Crup

- Clara, Vance's toad (she's more Gracie's pet)

- Elaura, a shared owl

- Lemmy, a moke

- various creatures in the reserve that Tessa and Liz coparent

Closest Canon Friends

- Chiara Lobosca: the werewolf quest? Tessa did that. She adores Chiara's kindness and resilience, and frequently uses her Animagus to accompany her on full moons

- Diego Caplan: he helps train Tessa's magical strength. He was totally into her at first, but he calmed down and now they hang out a lot in and out of the Dueling Club

- Erika Rath: Training buddies with a healthy Quidditch rivalry. Tessa has even gotten Erika to come over to her house so they could hang out over the summer

Closest Noncanon Friends

- Gracie Chiva (Jacob's sibling canonically has no other siblings)

- Rosalie Sonnenschein: A German model one year older than her who attends Durmstrang. A first generation part Veela with a very strong natural allure that has men (and women) swooning

- Kyle Orchan: the Squib son of one of the shopkeepers at the clothing store Tessa frequents. He's the best listener Tessa has ever met and loves hearing about her magical adventures. He does sometimes get very sad hearing about this world he'll never be a part of, but he's too nice to ever mention it

- Colette Belrose (@gcldensnitch): Tessa met Colette their first night in the Slytherin dorms. Granted, Tessa spent most of that night talking to Liz, but she went to bed relatively early so Tessa struck up a conversation with Colette. They're super similar and plan to go on a tour of Europe one day. Colette helps Tessa step back and remember to breathe, and she loves her for it

(Storyline has to be in a different post because of tumblr's dumb text limit)

Future

Marriage and Children: Tessa and River get married at the age of twenty one, and almost immediately Tessa gets pregnant with her oldest daughter, Octavia. Her body reacts very negatively and she almost dies while giving birth, so she and River agree to not have any more children. Six years later, Tessa accidentally gets pregnant with twins, Meredith and Alexander. It's a terrifying experience, but all three of them live and the twins are healthy

Career: At the age of twenty two, Tessa is recruited for the Montrose Magpies after one of their scouts watches her casual group's practice. She takes a short break years later to have the twins, and they welcome her back when she joins back up. Her replacement was shit. Tessa gets better at International Apparation so that she and River can spend time in America, England, and Germany without interrupting their work schedules. After she eventually resigns from the team, she uses her "fame" to bring more attention to the petitions for creature rights

The Second Wizarding War:

- Tessa isn't in the country for the most part when the war starts up, though she stops bringing the kids when visiting her mother after it starts getting bad

- After Bill's attack she and River temporarily stay in England for their friends, having her kids stay with Merula and her and Gracie's kids

- She doesn't fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. She's too scared for both herself and Gracie, as if Tessa went to fight Gracie would follow

- Tessa finally discovers all of what happened when Gracie joined R, and how much she truly was one of them for a little while when Olivia Green suddenly enters the picture. That takes her a while to get over, but she's able to

Old Age and Death: Tessa dies at the age of 120 of natural causes, after Gracie, River, Liz, and basically all of her friends. When she gets too lonely, her soul gives up

Personality

- ambivert

- horribly insecure, not so much about her looks but her strength, both magical and physical

- a wee bit of a masochist, constantly pushes herself too hard

- has a good memory

- is good at strategy

- very very kind, even sometimes when someone doesn't deserve it

Misc Information

- Tessa is bilingual, fluent in both English and German

- From all her practicing, Tessa is an amazing cook/baker - River's drinking buddies absolutely love her for it

- She can sing beautifully, and can play simple songs on the piano

- Tessa's depression never quite goes away, but it never gets very bad

- She has pretty bad misophonia, which developed around age nine and got worse with the anxiety and depression

- She ends up with a doll collection that River is terrified of, so much so that she has to put charms around each one so he can't see them unless he focuses

- Tessa is a massive pasta hound

- She hates any drink that fizzes. It's very inconvenient considering she frequently attends parties with things like sparkling water and champagne

- Tessa likes pineapple pizza

- Her favorite color is green

- She's left handed like her siblings and her mother

- She loves thunderstorms

- Her favorite season is winter

- She loves going stargazing

- She has a weird obsession with water. If she's upset, the best thing to do is draw her a bath, and sometimes she'll fill a bowl and stick her hand in it while studying or reading

- She sweats a lot, both from being active and from unlucky genetics (hence why she smells like strong deodorant)

- Tessa doesn't exactly believe in aliens, but she's pretty sure we're not alone in the universe

When I saw you're Little Mermaid AU. I instantly followed, because I'm a big fan of Disney and Pokemon, also what about Sleeping Beauty with WaterLilyShipping?

Waterlilyshipping and Sleeping Beauty. I can work with that and I'm trash for waterlilyshipping.

☆~☆~☆~☆~☆

• King Kabu and Queen Melony finally had their first child, Prince Milo (Sorry Gordie, I love you. Maybe next time)

• They wanted a child for the longest time and now that they have one. They are celebrating his birth with the biggest party ever and everyone is invited

• A neighboring kingdom that they are in alliance with had a child around the same time, about a month into the preparation for birthday celebration. It was a little girl named Nessa

• To strengthen their alliance, it was decided that Milo and Nessa are to marry when they are 21 and the betrothal will be announced at the Milo's celebration party

• To no one's suprise, the good fairies arrived to the party to give gifts to Milo. There were 7 good fairies.

• First Great Fairy Opal gave her gift to Milo. The gift of Peace. He will be always be a peaceful person.

• Leon gave Milo his gift next. The gift of Harmony as in Milo will be friends with everything, pokemon, human and creature

• Then Raihan gave his gift, the gift of strength. This boy will be swol.

• Bea's gift to Milo was endurance to go along with his strength

• Peirs' gift was voice. Milo will sing like an angel.

• Marnie's gift was optimism. She thought that was very important and wants this boy to be a sunshine child.

• Bede's gift was intelligence. He wants Milo to be a fast learner

• Then there was Gordie. He struggled for weeks thinking of a gift to give but he couldn't find one.

• "I give you the gift of fashion, no that sounds dumb. The gift of sneezing with his eyes opened, no that's even dumber.." etc etc

• Suddenly, with ominous wind entering the room, Oleana, the evil fairy entered

• Years prior, she was defeated by Kabu and was banished from the kingdoms. But Kabu couldn't kill Oleana since if she dies, Opal dies. They two fairies are twins and their magic is intertwined. Opal said she wouldn't want die until the other fairies, who she sees as her children, are ready to thrive without her help.

• "I am here to give a gift to the brat and you can't stop me." She hovers over Milo, "He's a cutie. It would such a shame if he were to die early."

• "Listen all, and listen well! The prince will indeed grow with peace and beauty. Beloved by all that know him. But before the sunset on his 21st birthday, he will prick his finger on a spindle of a spinning wheel and die!"

• She leaves and chaos breaks out. No one can believe that the prince will die so soon.

• Opal can't undo the spell because since birth the two can't undo each other's spells and the other dairies are too weak to undo the spell.

• Gordie piped in, "I haven't given Milo my gift yet. I know I can't undo Oleana's spell, but I can alter it."

• "Sweet Prince, if through this wicked witch’s trick, a spindle should your finger prick. A ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee. Not in death, but in sleep. That's what the prophecy will keep. And from this slumber you shall wake, with true love’s kiss, the spell shall break"

• For safety of their son, Kabu and Melony ordered that all the spinning wheels in the kingdom were destroyed. They could just import flax and make clothes. They got most if their money from exporting foods. Those that had jokes spinning fibers into treads, the couple offered them new jobs.

• But the fear of Oleana kidnapping Milo was still there. The fairies argued for hours over what to do next. Bea suggested fighting Oleana, Bede suggested making a deal with her. Etc.

• Leon made a suggestion, "This is probably the most heart breaking suggestion but it's the only way to secure Milo's safety. Raihan, Piers, Gordie, and I will raise Milo as our nephew away from civilization. We will all go by different names and Milo will be returned to his parents the night of his 21st birthday."

• After discussing this further, Kabu and Melony reluctantly agreed. It was for Milo's safety. When he was 3 years old, The squad took him and went to live in a cottage deep in the Slumbering Weald

• The squad could no longer use their magic and they also had hid their wings which meant they could no longer fly.

• They all went by new names. Leon was now Dande, Raihan was Kibana, Piers was Nerio, Gordie was Morris, and Milo was Percy

• Milo grew into a fine young man. He was handsome, charming, and has the biggest heart. He was basically a sunshine child and a gentle giant.

• It took some time for the fairies to get used to using no magic, but they managed.

• To survive, they would raise wooloo, mareeps, and other pokemon to sell wool and other goods. They also farmed fruits and vegetables to sell. They cared and love each and every pokemon. Milo was never allowed to go and sell the goods with his uncles though.

• Over time, Milo met a young girl that called herself Rurina. She was smart and sassy girl that loved to go out to fish and explore the forest and its lakes.

• They became fast friends and loved each others company.

• Milo showed her all the pokemon he raises, she taught him how to swim and fish. He taught her about vegetables and berries, she taught him about seashells. They would dance together by the lake for fun. Etc.

• Though Milo got bummed out when she would leave before sunset, which mean she couldn't stay for dinner. He couldn't go with her when she invited him to her home to eat dinner because his uncles never let him out of the forest.

• When Milo was about 16, she stopped showing up to the forest which made him super sad

• They secretly had crushes on each other

• Then Milo's 21st birthday. The squad had Milo go out into the forest to pick so many berries that the basket will over flow, just to keep Milo out of the cottage long enough so they can get everything ready.

• The plan was to make Milo a nice prince outfit and a huge birthday cake. But here's the thing, they are bad at making things.

• They usually always bought clothes at the markets once they finished selling their goods.

• The fact that they survived 18 years without magic is a miracle.

• Piers and Raihan tried to make the outfit as they bickered over the color but it looked like a hot mess. Poor Gordie was the model for the outfit. Meanwhile Leon tried to make a 21 layered cake that needed a broom to be held up. They should have had Gordie bake the cake instead of Leon.

• Enough was enough and busted out their magic wands after they closed and barricaded the house so no one can see the magic.

• Round two had better results. Piers made the outfit, Raihan cleaned the house, Gordie made a crown for Milo, and Leon made the beautiful cake, with only 5 layers this time.

• Raihan was bitter over not making the outfit and the outfit was PINK. The outfit for Milo should be BLUE. And a battle over color broke out between Piers and Raihan. Gordie and Leon minded their own business.

• Unfortunately the battle of colors caused magic to seep out from the chimney and a murkrow that was owned by Oleana saw this a reported it to her.

• She had been hunting down Miko for the past 18 years so her curse will come true.

• Meanwhile in the forest, Milo ran into his friend Rurina again after all these years. His heart fluttered because she became even more beautiful than he remembered. They caught up and danced by the lake like when were younger.

• Milo invited her over to the cottage to join him in celebrating his birthday. She agreed and Milo ran off to the cottage because he needs to help with making dinner like usual.

• Milo was greeted by his uncles. They had an amazing outfit in a nice green color (Gordie changed it to Green because he was done with Piers and Raihan fighting) and a delicious cake ready.

• For his birthday his uncles are taking him somewhere special. Milo asked his he can take his friend Rurina with him but his uncles shut the idea down.

• Milo went to his room to sulk. The squad felt bad because Milo was most likely in love with Rurina but he is still betrothed to Nessa.

• Rurina went back to her home. Turns out she was Princess Nessa. She didn't want to go to the celebration of Prince Milo's return. She knows she's betrothed to him, but she never met him. She would much rather spend the day with Percy instead after all she was in love with Percy.

• She told her parents about being in love with Percy but they said no and she went like, "fine, I'm going to his humble birthday celebration anyway" and ran off into the forest again.

• Milo got dressed in the outfit and wore the crown. He felt conflicted. He was super happy and excited to finally leave the forest and see what is beyond it but he didn't want to leave the forest without Rurina.

• On foot, the group left to the castle. Milo was in a dark clock to hid his identity

• At an excluded part of the castle, they accessed the part through secret passages, Milo was to get ready for the surprise his uncles planned. Milo was still conflicted. As his uncles bickered over nothing as usual, he saw green light. He was drawn to it that he wondered off to another part of the castle.

• When the squad realized Milo was missing, they realized it was Oleana's doing. They turned back into fairies and scrambled to find him. "Percy, where are you?"

• At the top of the tower. Milo saw a spinning wheel, he never saw one in his life. Something was drawing him to prick his finger on the needle. He did that and he fell asleep.

• Once the fairies found him, Oleana was there to mock them. "He's your precious prince"

• They couldn't present the prince like this. So they placed him in a bed.

• Oleana watched them in amusement and sneared " You might want to check up on that cottage of yours again"

• Before they left to the cottage, they put the whole kingdom to sleep in order to prevent Kabu and Melony from worrying.

• At the cottage, Nessa arrived to find Milo. She was ambushed and taken to Oleana's castle and was imprisoned.

• The fairy squad ran into the other fairies and caught them up to speed of what had occurred. Opal said they must get Rurina because she must be Milo's true love and they need her to kiss Milo. When they arrived to the cottage, it was trashed and all that was left behind if Rurina was her shell necklace.

• They knew Oleana must has imprisoned her so they made their way to her castle

• Oleana had Nessa chained up and said, "I will let you kiss your Percy, aka your fiance Milo, and break his curse, but I won't do that til 100 years have passed." Nessa cursed at Oleana but she left cackling

• The fairies came in on the scene freed Nessa.

• "So Ririna is actually Nessa and you four didn't know." Opal glared. "We never actually met her. We only got descriptions about her from Milo."

• They caught Nessa up to speed and now they must kill Oleana. Opal said she accepted her death so she's okay with it

• They got Nessa armor, a sword and shield, and a rapidash to help her on her mission.

• Upon arriving to the kingdom's entrance, Oleana casted a spell to have torns and vines grow all over the kingdom to prevent Nessa from entering. She managed to get in but now she must kill Oleana.

• Oleana took the form of a mighty Salamance and Nessa had to fight it. The fairies blessed her sword and shield to be able to kill Oleana. After a long battle, Nessa plunged the sword into Oleana's heart.

• Opal held her heart and collapsed. She was dying. All the fairies cried and she looked at all of them and said how proud she was of them. When her eyes closed, she turned into a bouquet of beautiful and exotic flowers.

• Nessa was then guided up to Milo's tower and kissed him, that was something she always wanted to do. Milo woke up and everyone else in the kingdom too.

• Nessa was super happy she gets to marry her true love Milo aka her Percy and same with Milo.

• The two got married, Milo was reunited with his family, Bede was chosen to step up as the new Great Fairy, Nessa was honored as Oleana's slayer, and they all lived happily ever after.

Screw it

LAOFT from someone who’s never read the main story

100% of my knowledge of LAOFT comes from askes of @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors that I read and the one-shots I’ve read. Some of it will be right. Most of it will be wrong. Hopefully all of it is a hilarious, sleep-deprived mess.

Since there’s a good chance I’ve got at least a few bits of plot right there are some spoilers herein so beware weary traveler who really should just skip past this mess of a post.

Sleep-deprivation baby let’s go.

The basics:

Setting: Wickhills

Creepy fae town

I think it’s based in Ohio. Maybe. Probably. idk

Tho if you came here for exacts buddy oh boy I have bad news for you

I digress

I think the description of the first part says smth about the people not minding having their things stolen

Except for uh I think her name’s May Gage

Ro’s Mom?

I think

NO WAIT

Description has to do with Dot Sanders

Mum of Lo and Tho

Will talk about them later but I just had to get that straight first

Even tho there’s, like, nothing straight in this AU

I think the main plot problems arise, originally, due to miscommunication

Or lack of communication

All I know is in the drunk history of Wickhills that I barely remember there was a mention of them not communicating and that basically dooming them

And y’all... lots going on around here

Lots

So uh we’re jumping into characters now here I go

Virgil Lastnamesmth:

No I don’t know his last name and no I’m not going to learn it just for this post

It’s Lastnamesmth now deal with it

I think he’s Spider King

Or smth like that

He rules the forest

After he gets out of his magic coma

He’s in that for a long time tho

100 years I think?

And uh I think Durant did it to him but we’ll talk about the devil in a snake suit later

He got put in a protective coffin by... I want to say Greta but ngl I know nothing about Greta.

She may be one of Vi’s sisters

He has a LOT of siblings actually

Many are spider sisters I think

And I think Elliot and Thomas are also his siblings in a way

Maybe

idk

Again don’t trust what you read when it comes from me peeps

But he’s super powerful

And I think he’s in the winter court

Whatever that means

I know courts exist for the seasons, and I’m reasonably sure Virgil’s is Winter, but that’s about it

He has magic but I don’t think he used it in any of the one-shots I read so what do I know

Well he does in one

That one where Logan gives his full name

That one was good I quite liked it

Well actually they’re all good I like all the ones I read

Back to Virgil

Hates parties which is a mood

He has to host them tho

Being Spider King is cool other than that bit I gather

And the part where the court gossips about you but oh well I suppose

I believe he’s autistic too

Or at least written with a lot of autistic traits

Is that how you say it? Autistic traits sounds wrong

Can fae be autistic? Or just like it?

Y’know what fuck it fae can be autistic and the only one allowed to @ me about that is the author screw off haters

I think the rest of what I have to say can live in the misc section

NEXT CHARACTER

Roman Gage:

I’d like to start with I love him and every time I think about what little I know of his backstory I want to cry

idk how he ended up in an abusive relationship but I know he did

And he’s such a good boi

He doesn’t DESERVE IT GODSDAMNIT

Only Vi would get me this emotionally invested in characters I only sorta know I swear

So yeah

Current Ro still has some problems with that

For very obvious reasons

And yet!

He is a gentleman and a knight and a champion and a prince

Yes that is a direct reference at that one one-shot shhh

His family is also one of witches right

He has a familiar

Tis a cat named Dizzy

I only know about Dizzy from like one fic tho so that’s all I can say about her

Dizzy can talk too in case that wasn’t clear

He made a potion in the microwave despite knowing that he probably shouldn’t and I think that’s a good summary of his character

I think he found Virgil first

At the very least he did find Virgil

He’s a human who found a hot dude in a glass case crawling with creepy crawlies and thought ‘ah yes the perfect place to spend all my time’

Sounds legit I’m sure

I don’t know how this lead to him in a bad place with the motherfucker also called the Serpent King

But it did

But in the end he got glass coffin boy and two others so at least he’s got that going for him

We move on once more!

Patton Uh what’s Remy’s last name again I think it’s that:

Or it isn’t

I said it before I’ll say it again:

Looking up info for this defeats the point

Deal with my horrible misinformation

He got a gift from White!

I believe this is because his Mum saved her or something

The problem?

The gift is also a curse

Because while it’s incredibly written that’s the cliché folks

People have to do what ever he ‘orders’

Basically anything that techincally demands something from the other

Including things like ‘stop’ which is like one-hit KO murder word

Patton had a nightmare about that

That was a fun one-shot

Though if you could just like kill people on accident I guess I’d have nightmares ‘bout it too

He’s the other human of the trio plus one

No I don’t remember the word for a group of four people and no I’m not going to look it up

A Professional Cuddler according to that one fic where the description’s like ‘Patton thinks he’s got the best seat in the house’ or whatever

There’s one fic where Emile help him put make-up on

Wowsers

That fic was fun to read because he flustered ALL his bfs

No question

What else what else

I think he’s got a bodyguard

Named... Bell???

Maybe???

Okay I think that’s most of my Pat knowledge

ONWARDS

Logan (Berry) Sanders:

Yes adding the Berry was very important

It’s a huge part of that name fic

And I like it so

Deal with it

He’s a fae

I believe a changling to be exact

And a selkie

He’s... spring court...?

He was replaced for Thomas in typical Changling fashion

But then Thomas came back (I think Dot got Tho back idk) and suddenly he had a brother

He has nature magic of some form

But his best power is his flower power

He can’t control it and I love it so much

I don’t even KNOW what each type of flower appearing means 9 out of 10 times but that doesn’t make me any less happy about it

*Sigh*

I wish I sprouted flowers at random...

I think he’s also autistic

He and Virgil occasionally bond over that it’s sweet

Like with the painted nails tap tap tapping

Or the singing walls

I know something happened to him

Something relating to something stupid Ro did

I think that’s the stupid thing that got Ro forced to be with the dick that is Deceit in this

But I honestly don’t know what happened to Logan

Hmph

He can be a nervous boi

That fic where he tried to say I love you with his notecards?

Love that one

...Twenty-five percent of this is just me randomly complimenting Vi’s one-shots ain’t it

Huh

Oh well

No regrets

I just realized I use ‘Vi’ for Violet and Virgil interchangeably

That may be problematic but screw off if you think I’m going to change anything

That’s too much effort

BACK TO LOGAN

He has a honey problem from that one fic I read

Where he gets real sappy about his bfs to Thomas

Not like a bad problem

Just a ‘maybe he should stop drinking it if he wants to pretend he has dignity’ problem

Okey-dokie I’m moving on to his bro now

Thomas (Bug) Sanders:

Lo’s incredible brother

And when I say incredible I mean it

Very nice

Will squish Logan when needed

Actually will squish anyone when needed

He has a Squish Instinct

Also has Brother Instinct and no it’s not the Cain Instinct

It’s the opposite

Will Fight if you try to hurt Lo from what I can tell

I think he also had a monster in his head

The monster has a longer name but I can’t spell it so I won’t try

This fact is based on One (1) one-shot where he has a weird freak out

That’s also the fic I base my belief that he’s somehow Virgil’s brother on

But no promises

The fic starts with italics and bolded lines interchanging

I don’t remember the name tho

If you haven’t already figured out I’m not going to look it up you’re even more sleep-deprived then I am

But yeah Thomas is great

Teases Lo about his crushes like a good bro

Helps Lo when he’s panicking or freaking out or something

Even when Lo’s at college

I don’t know as much about Tho so let’s leave it there

Onto the Monster

Durant (is that his name idk) Monsterunworthyoflove:

His last name is Monsterunworthyoflove because that’s what he is

I know almost nothing about him actually

They call him ‘he’ a lot because I think trigger reasons

But honestly he also doesn’t deserve to have his name spoken

He was the Snake King

Maybe Serpent King

Eh idc

I believe he put Virgil in magic coma to rule as King

I think they were brothers but idk

HE SUCKS

I think he’s dead

I wish I knew how or by who’s hand but he is

He got a coffin in the ground which I think if unfair

Let the worms devour his flesh and let me make his bones into my furniture

I am a part of the Kill Durant Again squad only because I missed my chance to kill him first

Like I said I know little about him

But he put the abusive in Roman’s abusive relationship so honestly fuck him to Hell and back and then do it again for good measure

Every time I read a scene with Ro being uncomfy because of him

I want to strangle him

I fucking mime the motions

Violet honestly props on making such a hate-able character

I could talk about him more because I do know a few other things

But honestly the fact he’s not real and my dream to choke him slowly is therefore impossible makes my skin crawl

I hate him so much it’s not healthy so we’re moving on

To minor characters!

Minor Characters:

As in characters I know very little about

I guess they could be vital characters

REMY

MY BOI

I know he’s a classic badboy who will die if Emile kisses him and I love him

Also he’s super smart with his moonshine and I’m so proud

I love him so so so so much and I barely know him

Good job Violet you wrote him well and I love you

Emile is also great

Remy has protected him for wearing skirts because Rem’s a good boy and he’s RIGHT

Emile feels bad for treating Patton bad in the past I think

Hence that one make-up session

Emile also crushes on Remy hard the remile in this AU is on point man

Elliot exists

I think they’re Virgil’s sibling. Somehow. Maybe

I read one one-shot that focused on their relationship with Vi and that’s all I know about them

Mawmaw (Mamaw? mawma? I’mma just call her May. If she’s May. I think she’s May) is Ro’s Mom.

Also a witch I think

Really tough but she cares

Dot is super nice

She’s Lo and Tho’s Mum I think

I don’t remember the one-shots with her in them well but she’s always sweet

Okay there’s this one character who’s name starts with an E

I think she’s Logan biological mom

Logan cut a knot he had with her or smth

Apparently she’s awful and Vi would kill her but it would have a bad mental effect on Ro for... some reason

he got pale when the idea was brought up idk

I would have thrown her in forever prison if I couldn’t kill her but that’s just me

She placed a curse on Lo that stopped him from leaving Wickhills I think

Or smth

Lo broke the curse tho so what does it matter

Linda is the LAMP’s daughter??? I think???

I... haven’t actually read the fics she’s in so idk

But people really seem to love her so that’s neat

Out of minor characters so we progress to my fav part about the series

Gay bois:

Aka the LAMP gang

They’re so gay guys

The gayest gays

I like to think I can write decent gays

But these???????

They barely have to look at each other before they’re dead, murdered, killed by the mere beauty of one of the others

I LIVE FOR IT

In the one-shots I’ve read they’re either completely 100% fluffy gays

Or gays helping each other with one Trauma or another

But they still end up gay-ing over each other in the end

and the KISSING

as an aroace I generally find kisses meh or ew

But these gays

All they want to do is kiss

Sometimes it’s tender and sweet and loving

More often than not tho the kisses are like

‘If one of you didn’t manage to barely hold onto a brain cell throughout the gay you’d be fucking in public’

I am repulsed to write that sentence but it’s TRUE

...I think

Note: idek the difference between passionate but just passionate kisses and passionate about to get steamy kisses

Because you know

aroace

But the main point:

I find kisses meh

But these gays very clearly illustrate how beautiful kisses can be and I think that’s wonderful

Also I just generally love LAMP and this is good good LAMP A++ Vi

They’re so gay and loving and protective of each other

They really deserved their own category

Onto the final section

Misc:

Aka stuff that doesn’t fit in the other sections and/or stuff that did fit in the other sections but I forgot about it and am too lazy to put where it belongs

I realize now that Remy and Pat do not have the same last name

They’re not brothers (I don’t think......)

Does Pat’s last name start with a W?

That sounds right

Fug me if I know what Rem’s last name is tho

Where do they all live

I thought only Vi lived in fae land

But I think Pat may live there too

But Lo lives in non-fae land???

idk

Also fae land is called fairyland and I can’t tell if that’s it’s actual name or the name one of the Bois gave it jokinly

Because if fairyland is it’s serious name, that’s hilarious

No shade Violet I’m just easily amused

Y’know I always forget how young these bois are

Then I remember Lo’s not even 18 by the time the after main plot one-shots come in to play

So like

Damn son they young

I feel double bad for all of them

Triple bad for Ro- the Serpent King’s head will be mine I swEAR

I think Ro’s been a knight twice

Tho if you ask me he’s only been a knight once

Because I refuse to associate him in any way to the dick that is Durant if I can help it so he’s only ever been Vi’s knight suck it

Apparently like almost all of Wickhills hate the Sander bois

Probably the LAMP crew too idk

What I mean to say is despite how desperate I want to live there a lot of Wickhills’s residents are jerkwads

I think I saw a post where Lo can do photosynthesis and idk if it’s a shitpost or not but in this mess of a post I have decided it is canon

Mainly because that’s cool and I would like to do photosynthesis

A new one-shot I didn’t read has sparked a lot of askes about a Matt

I believe this man to be Pat’s father

But I can make no promises as to the accuracy of this belief

Did Linda come out of a tree?

idk why but I feel like she did

That’s weird man

How do you come out of a tree

(me @ me: ‘you could... you could read the fic and find out’

So turns out I can shut the hell up

I am a bitch who understands nothing)

And I have ONCE MORE gotten off track oof

My favorite part of reading LAOFT is all the fae knowledge I learn

Really has sparked my interest in fae

Even if I’ll never know enough to do anything with it asfsdfb

Plus apparently Vi just sprinkles in her own fae lore here and there

Which is super cool

But also means if I tried to write something I’m quite sure someone would be like ‘umm this isn’t true’ and I would feel played

Also what is up with Vi and Lo and rainfall

In that one fic where they hide in a tree and Logan senses a raindrop

His skin breaks open and sews itself together????

wtf????

So confusion

But hey guess whose bitch’s fault that is

*finger guns at a mirror*

ELDRITCH MONSTORITY

That’s not at ALL how you spell it but that’s it that’s the thing that was in Thomas’s head

Go me for remembering it

Fae land has a lot of customs and I know very few of them

Tho I do adore that one Flirt fic

Poor poor Virgil

Oh yeah Logan can make these super cool bushes

I know he used one rose bush when fighting someone who’s name started with a Mrs/Miss

Yes I know the first name wasn’t actually Mrs/Miss

But all I know of her name is Mrs/Miss something

And he used another bush against some idiot of a fae who grabbed Patton

By the way go protective Lo go

Like they can all get crazy protective of each other and I LIVE for it

ROMAN HAD HIS MEMORIES SPLIT UP??????

I mean I knew about a Night Roman and a Day Roman but I thought that was

a metaphor

Like Roman acted differently during the night because he was stuck with a monster whom I shall revive simply to kill again

And he was trying to be separate from that person??

Or something like that

But NOPE

Serpent King is a Bastard of a being and I would happily crush his wind pipe beneath my foot

I hope the most amusing part of this sleep-drunk post is my different names for Durant the Dead Bitch because I am having fun insulting him

Okay listen peeps that is not even CLOSE to everything about this series but I wrote this over a couple of days, and my memory of what has been written and hasn’t been written is nonexistent, and if you think I’m rereading this to edit, you’re a fool (no offense) so like. We’re just gonna do a wrap-up summary and call it good.

Summary: Gay fae messes who should figure out the value of communication get themselves in a LOT of shit because of their lack of said communication.

Also, final apologies to Violet, because LAOFT has incredibly deep, rich, intricate lore and my response to this lore is to grossly misrepresent it and also write this while I’m in the constant state of being sleep-deprived, and more or less acting like I’m drunk or smth

So uh. I hope this was amusing.

#the cryptid speaks #the cryptid is a fool #tired I am #won't stop me from doing this tho #laoft #violet #I have no apologies #also #no fact checking #because we die like men #swearing tw #long post #really #very very long post beware #and almost all of it is my stupid ramblings #violence tw #tell me if I need to tag something I forgot about and it will be done

QZGS|The King’s Avatar Fic: In which drunk!YX meets witch/teashop owner!WJX [Coffee Shop AU]

Title: (I’m Not Throwing Away) My Shot Fandom: The King’s Avatar / Quan Zhi Gao Shou Character(s)/Pairing(s): WangYe; Chu Yunxiu Summary: Ye Xiu hadn’t expected the day would come when he’d get kicked out of Excellent Era — the game development company that he helped built from scratch — yet here he was. He was not the type of man to brood over something inevitable, because there had been signs, and he should have known better. Morose, frustrated, and incredibly drunk in his friend Chu Yunxiu’s lounge, Misty Rain, Ye Xiu met the tea sommelier and witch, Wang Jiexi. [(Magical) Coffee Shop AU] Part: 1/1 Rating: PG-13 A/N: Happy birthday, best dad Captain Wang! Takes place before “The Magic Hour is Now” (YuHuang). Utterly self-indulgent, as usual.

Writing Commission | Editing & Translation Services

---

"How much booze did you put in this?"

Ye Xiu was holding the stem of the champagne flute absentmindedly, swirling the content inside; he narrowed his eyes with suspicion, bruised shadows beneath them telling of many nights too involved with work to have a proper sleeping schedule for days on end.

"I'm not wasting my best champagne on a guy who gets drunk after just one glass," Chu Yunxiu, the alchemic mixologist and owner of Misty Rain, one of the more high-end lounges in downtown, murmured in slight disdain.

"Then this isn't a mimosa, is it?" Ye Xiu glowered, placing the glass down with a resolute clink.

A few drops of the liquid spilled over the rim and left a sticky trail over his fingers, which made his frown more profound.

"No, it's just orange juice in a fancy glass." Tucking a strand of dark hair behind the curve of her ear, Chu Yunxiu smiled cheekily at him, slapped a napkin down beside the glass, and proceeded to go over to greet another patron who’d just sat down at the bar.

By the time he finished wiping his hand and lit a cigarette, Chu Yunxiu was already back in her original position, elegantly pouring precise measures of different coloured alcohol, fruit juices, and syrups into the silver cocktail shaker.

“Come on, Lao Chu, give me a break, will you?” Ye Xiu continued their previous conversation as if they’d never been interrupted, and he blew out a stream of smoke in a melodramatic manner that had Chu Yunxiu, who’d known this man for almost a decade — since high school, actually — rolling her eyes. “I’m depressed and unemployed, and I want to drink my sorrows away. Won’t you help a dear old friend out?”

He slumped over the bar countertop and rested his chin on his arms, dark eyes staring up expectantly at the beautiful woman through frazzled forelocks. Said beautiful woman paid him no heed as she continued to artfully shake the apparatus with both of her hands, the cold metal winking sharply under the dimmed lighting of the lounge, the wine-red of her nail polish a stark contrast to the alabaster paleness of her skin, making her movements more like a practiced, elegant choreography than tedious repetition.

She grabbed a chilled martini glass, rimmed in sugar, and poured the crisp-toned drink with a tint of yellow into the glassware, adding some lemon rinds on the side as the final touch of the dance.

After she served another patron and came back, the bartender still remained silent, red lips pursed in thought.

“Lao Chu…” Ye Xiu started again, a hint of childish whining laced within his deep voice. An unusual combo even for one of the most shameless men Chu Yunxiu had the misfortune to know.

“You mentioned the word ‘old’ one more time, Ye Xiu, I swear to god—"

“Please accept my most sincere apology, Ms. Chu, oh most beauteous, virtuous queen of the classy club scene—”

“Save it,” Chu Yunxiu sighed, hazel gaze finally sparing a sympathetic glance at his direction. “If I make you a drink, will you be a good boy and go home after so I can do my business in peace?”

“Absolutely,” Ye Xiu nodded, instantly pulling himself up into a proper sitting position. “So, an actual mimosa then…?”

“I’m making you something else,” Chu Yunxiu was resolute in this regard. She picked out several bottles that lined the shelves mounted on the back wall and began to pour them carefully into the shaker.

Satisfied by the fact that he was about to get joyously drunk on some sort of delicious, fruity cocktail, Ye Xiu was content just quietly observing his friend shine on her stage.

It was always entrancing watching the famed bartender of Misty Rain concoct her signature drinks. Back when she was in school, she’d double-majored in botany and culinary sorcery; after that, she spent a few years abroad studying winemaking and brewing techniques in several European countries, which allowed her to sophisticatedly combine alcohol and the magical properties of plant- and flower-based liqueurs. These days, as her reputation of being the only female executive in the competitive business of club management and a skilled alchemic mixologist spread far and wide in the city, Chu Yunxiu became known as a bartender who specialized in creating the perfect, magical cocktail that would satisfy the drinker — whether the patron was drinking to forget, to gain confidence, to fall in love, to fall out of love, to always remember…

Chu Yunxiu paused when she got to the last step of mixing; usually if she were to cast a spell, this would be the time to add the final key ingredient. Depending on what effects she was trying to achieve, she would add a combination of the liqueurs or specially-treated flowers or minerals she kept in a locked cabinet that only she and her assistant Li Hua had access to.

The subtle pause didn’t escape Ye Xiu’s observation, who only needed to shake his head once to notify the mixologist that he was not seeking comfort in the embrace of magic tonight.

Sure, it sucked to get kicked out of the game development company that he’d built from scratch — that he basically brought to its current success almost single-handedly — only to be abandoned by his boss and teammates because apparently his next project was deemed too old-fashioned for the young people of this age. Ye Xiu wasn’t sure what that meant exactly, but he was certain that part — if not most — of the reason his latest project got rejected, that he himself got rejected, was due to the fact that his last few games hadn’t earned the company as much profit as Tao Xuan had hoped.

It might also have to do with the fact that Ye Xiu was very firmly against the incorporation of sorcery into gaming hardware, and from Excellent Era’s perspective, that was a lost opportunity financially that they’d rather avoid.

Call him primitive if you would, but Ye Xiu was adamant about keeping sorcery and magic away from the gaming industry. It just didn’t seem… right.

It wasn’t as if Ye Xiu hadn’t expected this. Though he might seem frivolous at times, always going along with the flow of his life with a devil-may-care attitude that had his friends equally impressed and worried, the experienced programmer and designer really did pour all his time, energy, and passion into Excellent Era for the past decade. In the beginning, the team had a very clear goal they were striving for, but once they’d achieved it, had a sweet and addictive taste of victory, they wanted more and the company’s path began to diverge from Ye Xiu’s.

So yeah, he’d seen this coming, and it really, really sucked, but Ye Xiu wasn’t a man who liked to brood over something inevitable. Still, he had to admit that being abandoned — would ‘betrayed’ be a more accurate description in this case? He didn’t know — it hurt more than Ye Xiu had anticipated. Even more poignant was the waves of emptiness and disappointment that he found himself drowning and suffocating in as he wandered aimlessly in the crowded streets of downtown tonight.

Before he knew it, Ye Xiu had found himself at the doors of Misty Rain. He wasn’t a drinker, but occasionally he’d have business meetings in one of the private rooms here, or he’d meet up with a few close friends for a (non-alcoholic) drink and mindless but entertaining conversations.

Garnishing the martini glass with a sprig of fresh lavender, Chu Yunxiu presented the drink to her friend with a small flourishing introduction, “Here you go: Lavender Martini. Changed the proportions of the base just for you, you lightweight.”

The cocktail gleamed with a tinge of mystique under the warm, orange light of the lounge, the crystal-violet swaying in the tall-stemmed glass like liquid amethyst that held some kind of unnamable power. The sprig of lavender leaned against the side of the glass, forlorn but elegant.

“Always so considerate,” Ye Xiu praised her with a mocking grin, picking up the glass and raising it towards Chu Yunxiu, and said with a bittersweet tone, “cheers.”

The first sip was creamy and smooth, terrifyingly easy to go down, making him crave more already though he knew even a small amount of alcohol would be a danger to himself. After the sweetness of vanilla dissipated, the gentle floral flavor of lavender spread in his mouth before the delicate earthy undertones of juniper berries took over. Even without the magical spells, the complex aroma of Chu Yunxiu’s cocktail still had the ability to fascinate, bewitch, and capture the heart of the drinker.

“This is good,” Ye Xiu said, like he was genuinely surprised, after he’d swallowed the first mouthful, one corner of his lips twisting up.

“Flattery will get you nowhere,” Chu Yunxiu hummed, though there was the smallest hint of a pleased smile along her painted lips, “you’re only getting one drink tonight.”

“Oh well, I tried,” Ye Xiu shrugged and took another sip, his eyes slipping close to enjoy the light yet dizzying flavor.

“Should I give Mucheng a call and tell her to pick up your drunk, sorry ass later?” Chu Yunxiu asked as she mixed another drink for another patron. She could already spot the flush tinting Ye Xiu’s usually pale cheeks, and when the man glanced over at her words, it took him several seconds to focus.

“No. D-don’t call her,” Ye Xiu’s tone was uncharacteristically imploring, which surprised Chu Yunxiu though she said nothing. “Please.”

“She’ll know eventually.”

“I know. Just, not right now. Not tonight.”

Before Chu Yunxiu had a chance to convince him otherwise, she was waved over by Li Hua, who notified her that the big party of fifteen that had made a reservation for their VIP room had arrived and the boss was required to greet them. With such a huge group, it was either a celebratory occasion or an important business deal about to be finalized. Either way, both of these circumstances would usually necessitate the presence of Misty Rain’s alchemic mixologist, who would be responsible for mixing cocktails that enhance a patron’s mood or increase a businessman’s power of persuasion.

“Don’t drop while I’m gone,” Chu Yunxiu tapped her friend’s shoulder as she breezily walked by behind him, “I’m not paying taxi fare to get you home.”

“Heartless,” Ye Xiu chuckled, the word a little muffled since his lips were still touching the rim of the glass.

“Bite me,” Chu Yunxiu ran fingers through her wavy locks to tame them as best as she could before she walked away to receive her guests.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu continued sipping his drink and taking drags on his cigarette, his gaze sporadically lingering on the different patrons in the lounge. He didn’t know how much time had passed, only that the cocktail had definitely made him feel more relaxed, the tenseness in his shoulders melting away, the swirl of repetitive thoughts in his head becoming nothing but a warm haze, the edges of his vision blurring like an out-of-focus photograph. He felt his eyelids steadily growing heavier, the asphyxiated weight he’d been feeling since he stepped out of the office of Excellent Era that night lifting just a little from his chest, allowing him to breathe easier.

When Chu Yunxiu came back to work on the drinks the party had ordered, she saw, with a helpless but tender smile on her face, that Ye Xiu had finished his cocktail and had, as she expected, collapsed onto the table, cheek resting on his forearms, fingers still loosely looped around the stem of the empty glass.

She shrugged off the jade green suit jacket she’d worn over her shoulders and placed it gently over Ye Xiu’s back, and then she went around the counter to begin mixing a new batch of drinks.

Just as she was about to finish up the last order, a familiar face approached the bar, his forelocks covering his left eye, his oversized sweater and knitted scarf an apparent disparity from the other patrons in the lounge, who were at least donning semi-formal fashion.

“Ms. Chu, I’m here with your order,” the man said, his voice almost lost in the contemporary jazz playing in the background as he heaved a cardboard box onto the counter.

“Jiexi?” Chu Yunxiu greeted the man with a bright smile. “Rare to see you deliver personally.”

“I didn’t want to trouble my staff this late at night, so I figure I’d pay you a visit myself,” Wang Jiexi gave her a light smile — effortless but distant. “If you have some time, you can check over the stock and see if there are any issues.”

“We’ve collaborated for so long, I know I’d have no problems dealing with you,” Chu Yunxiu laughed, pouring the last drink from the cocktail shaker into a margarita glass and garnishing it with a single treated violet blossom after murmuring a short spell under her breath. She sat the glass down carefully onto a tray and gestured for the servers to take them to the VIP room.

“I’ll be back in a few,” Chu Yunxiu said with a wave of her hand, “make yourself at home.”

Wang Jiexi nodded and seated himself on one of the stools. After scrolling on his phone for a few minutes, he quickly got bored and glanced around his surroundings in curiosity instead. Clubs and bars were not places he frequented since he preferred quiet premises with more natural lighting, but even Wang Jiexi, who was the owner of a sorcery-based tea shop named Tiny Herb Teahouse, had to admit that Misty Rain had the kind of chic and elegant air — much like the owner of the lounge herself — that Wang Jiexi didn’t exactly find disagreeable.

Two seats adjacent to his, Wang Jiexi spotted a man who seemed to be… sound asleep? The green jacket thrown over his back was slipping due to his unconscious shifting about in his slumber, and the man’s face, though shielded by messy ink-black hair, still showed signs of exhaustion and inebriation in the blush of his face and shadows beneath his eyes. The slightest frown appeared along Wang Jiexi’s brows, and he considered going over to see if he was all right. How much alcohol must the man had consumed to get to this point?

“Sorry for the wait,” Chu Yunxiu’s silvery voice interrupted Wang Jiexi’s contemplation as she slipped behind the bar counter once more, “now, what have you brought me this time?”

Wang Jiexi immediately turned his attention back to the owner of Misty Rain, took out a piece of paper, opened the cardboard box, and began to go over the products Chu Yunxiu had ordered: various dried and powdered herbs and flowers, fresh floral petals kept moist in special containers, artisanal syrups and extracts refined from rare plants and flowers with remarkable magical properties when combined correctly with other ingredients.

Chu Yunxiu was happy with the quality of the products that Wang Jiexi had brought over, and asked invitingly, “A drink on the house?”

“Thanks, but I’m driving tonight,” Wang Jiexi declined politely, and then his gaze shifted over to the man who hadn’t moved from his position in the last twenty minutes since he and Chu Yunxiu had started talking.

“Is… Is that man all right?” Wang Jiexi asked the bartender.

“Oh, Ye Xiu? Eh, he’s fine. He’s the kind of guy who falls asleep after just one glass. Pathetic, right?” Chu Yunxiu said, seemingly unconcerned, but then the teasing light in her eyes softened like she couldn’t quite help herself and said in a softer voice so that only Wang Jiexi could hear her, “he’d had a long day though. Well, from what I understand, I guess the last couple of months had been hard on him.”

Wang Jiexi didn’t ask for an explanation; after all, this man — Ye Xiu, was it? — was just a stranger. A man whom he hadn’t even exchange a word with. Yet seeing him in this dimmed lighting, with muffled conversations humming all around them, sinking and floating within it but entirely excluded from it, and soft music playing in the background, Wang Jiexi almost thought the man looked vulnerable.

“Will he be okay getting home by himself?” Wang Jiexi asked anyway, despite telling himself that he shouldn’t stick his nose where it didn’t belong. That voice in his head sounded very weak and unconvincing at this moment, and Wang Jiexi easily pushed it aside.

“I was about to call him a taxi when he sobers up,” Chu Yunxiu sighed, “but with this guy, I have no idea how long it’ll take for him to wake up. The cocktail I made him earlier was kind of strong.”

The tea sommelier glanced over at Ye Xiu’s sleeping face again, the steady, steady beat of his heart trembling just the slightest at the man’s parted lips, the limp, lifeless forelocks falling haphazardly into his eyes, the slow rise and fall of his back, and he found himself speaking, “if you have his address, I can take him home.”

“You don’t mind?” Chu Yunxiu was surprised that he even offered. While they had been acquainted with each other for about two years from their business dealings, their relationship remained just as such — that of business partners. Wang Jiexi was a trustworthy man when it came to his work, this Chu Yunxiu had no doubt, but she had never known him as someone who would voluntarily help out a stranger in their time of need. Clearly, there was more to Wang Jiexi than the distant and aloof persona that the tea sommelier and witch usually presented himself.

“He looks like he can use a better place to sleep in,” Wang Jiexi said, mildly amused.

“If you really don’t mind, I’ll take you up on your offer,” Chu Yunxiu scribbled down Ye Xiu’s address on a notepad and tore off the first page, handing it over to Wang Jiexi. “I feel better leaving him in the hands of someone I know. Oh, and next time, you’re not allowed to decline a drink, okay? It’s on me.”

“For sure, Ms. Chu,” Wang Jiexi nodded with a smile, and entered the address into his phone’s GPS, which quickly displayed the fastest route to Ye Xiu’s address.

“Oi, Ye Xiu,” Chu Yunxiu called her friend, attempting to wake him up, but Ye Xiu only responded with a nasally groan. “Ye Xiu, wake up, you’re going home.” She lightly tapped Ye Xiu on the cheek, which seemed to have finally done the trick, as he blearily blinked open his eyes, dazed and unseeing.

“Wha— Yer taking me home, Lao Chu? Dun y’have, like, a bar to run?” his words were slurred but at least he was making sense.

“Yeah, yeah, I do. That’s why I’m kicking you out and letting this gentleman take you home instead,” Chu Yunxiu helped him up by hauling him to his feet with care while Wang Jiexi slipped to the drunken man’s side to support him on the left.

“Oh? And who’s this nice gentleman that you speak of?” Ye Xiu chuckled, his voice hoarse from the alcohol as he turned around to face the stranger, his eyes twinkling with humor and harboring an eerily clear perception for someone who was supposed to be so drunk he could hardly stand on his own two feet without help.

“Wang Jiexi,” he briskly introduced himself, sliding Ye Xiu’s arm around his own shoulders so that he could support the drunken man more securely. “Ms. Chu’s business acquaintance.”

“Huh…” Ye Xiu made a noise as if he was deep in thought, but less than five seconds later, Wang Jiexi could feel Ye Xiu’s body gradually leaning more and more against his frame, and ‘lo and behold, the man had somehow miraculously fell back asleep standing up. Having a few centimeters of height advantage over Ye Xiu, Wang Jiexi could at least half-haul and half-carry him all the way to the parking lot; getting him into the car required a bit of semi-aggressive shoving into the backseat, but in the end, Wang Jiexi managed to safely drive themselves to where Ye Xiu supposedly lived.

“Mr. Ye, your keys?” It took a few more calls of his name and some shaking on the shoulders to get Ye Xiu conscious enough to answer.

“Hmm? W’keys?” he mumbled incoherently, eyes blinking like something kept trying to keep them shut.

“Your house keys,” Wang Jiexi said patiently, leaning over to unbuckle the seatbelt. He caught a waft of sweet floral scent just as Ye Xiu was exhaling, and he almost bumped his head on the roof of the car in his haste to pull away from the man — it was too sweet, his breath, too vulnerable the way he allowed a stranger to get this close, and all of this was much too tempting.

Clueless as to what a storm he was causing to a man he’d hardly talked to, Ye Xiu’s eyes slipped close, and Wang Jiexi was afraid that he’d fallen asleep again, but then Ye Xiu made a long humming sound, like he was having a good, long moment of serious thought, before he blurted out bright and clear, “I don’t have ‘em.”

“You don’t… You don’t have your keys,” Wang Jiexi could feel the vein in his temple bulging in irritation. He really should have just shut up and stayed in his lane, he thought to himself with an internal sigh.

“Nope,” Ye Xiu confirmed, and then he slumped backwards, head lolled forward, to continue his alcohol-induced slumber.

“Great,” Wang Jiexi murmured, running a hand through his hair. He could bring him back to Misty Rain, but he didn’t want to trouble Chu Yunxiu, who looked hectic serving patrons by the time they were leaving; he could bring Ye Xiu to a hotel, but that required too much explanation afterwards. In the end, he decided to bring him back to his teashop.

Ye Xiu remained sound asleep during the drive to Tiny Herb Teahouse, and even through the bodily shuffling out of the vehicle, being piggybacked into the darkened shop, and being planted onto the plush armchair in Wang Jiexi’s consultation room, the drunken man managed to stay unconscious, his breathing maintaining a peaceful, steady rhythm, dark lashes casting darker shadows on his cheeks.

After draping a blanket over the sleeping man, Wang Jiexi stepped out of the room to let him rest.

Yet his heart remained restless. It wasn’t merely because he had brought a strange man into his shop; he could easily have left the man alone back at the lounge, pretended he didn’t see him — his defenseless sleeping body, the fatigue that lined his face, the desolation and melancholy that seeped out of his hunched back and silently yearned for someone to take notice, to give him a hand, to care.

Curiosity, in the end, won out.

From the cupboard under the counter, lighted up only by a few dangling lights that glowed an eerie white over light-colored wooden furnishing and peculiar shadows of potted plants, their vines and leaves crawling and hugging along the beams of the high ceiling, Wang Jiexi carefully took out a teapot, a glass jar of loose Pu’er tea leaves, a saucer, and a white, porcelain teacup.

While he waited for the water to boil, he spooned out some tea leaves and tipped them into the cup. During this process, he tried to maintain the same peace of mind that he always preserved when he was doing divination for his clients; it was his natural state of mind — the ease with which he saw the highs and lows around him and his heart would never waver in fear or shake in excitement, the instinctive ability with which he could read people just as easily as he could read the past, present, and future of these people through the patterns and images in his cup. That was one of the main reasons why he was so good at this particular branch of sorcery that he’d decided to pursue it as a career.

And now, he had to use a little more than his usual effort and self-control to keep his mind serene and focused.

As he poured hot water over the tea leaves, the steam blurring his vision and moistening his skin, the tips of his forelocks, he watched as the colour of the liquid turned quickly from clear to a creamy brown until the cup was entirely tainted into a rich, scorched shade when the brew was ready to be consumed.

It was almost too easy to let his mind remain occupied on the subject of his divination session, as if he could forget the haunting scent of the ashen smoke and saccharine lavender on Ye Xiu’s breath or the weight and warmth of the man’s body leaning solidly against his own.

When he felt ready, he began drinking his tea one small mouthful at a time. The liquid went down his throat burning that he barely tasted it with the first, hurried sip, but the earthy, woodsy aroma that coated his mouth was a little overwhelming, verging on bitingly bitter, and Wang Jiexi vaguely wondered if he’d steeped the leaves for too long. The notes of tobacco were reminiscent of Ye Xiu, and he closed his eyes, thinking about the man sleeping only a few feet away, unaware of the storm that he had already stirred up during such a brief encounter.

With only a little liquid left, Wang Jiexi swirled the cup three times, causing the tea leaves to disperse around the wide interior of the teacup. Next, he delicately placed the saucer over the cup and flipped it over to drain away the remaining moisture.

The patterns left in the cup made Wang Jiexi frown, his lips tightening into a grim line. All the images that symbolized Ye Xiu’s present circumstances were those of negative connotation, which adequately explained why the man had sought the help of alcohol, and if what Chu Yunxiu told him was true, it sounded like whatever had happened left a strong emotional impact that might have been irreparable if not for what Wang Jiexi saw along the rim of the cup, which represented events in distant future.

Sighing lightly, he set the cup aside and placed the saucer over it once more.

Ye Xiu woke up to an amazing, pounding headache and the warm aroma of leafy tea and fresh citrus.

“Mr. Ye, how are you feeling?” a man’s voice, soft but melodic, asked from somewhere to his right.

“Hnnnnn…” was Ye Xiu’s intelligible answer, and then he declared with a pitiful moan, “I’m never drinking again… fuck.”

“Perhaps that would be for the best,” the stranger agreed, a hint of laughter subtle but still noticeable.

Despite his headache, Ye Xiu finally opened his eyes with some difficulty; his bones and joints ached from remaining in the same position throughout the entire night, and he could feel his body creaking in protest as he tried to sit up, the blanket that’d been draped over him slipping down to his lap. His gaze sluggishly followed the trail of the blanket, and then he gradually lifted his head up and glanced over to his right side, where a man with vibrant green eyes, the left hidden behind stylishly-cut forelocks, holding a steaming teacup was standing and looking at him in silent amusement.

“And you are… wait don’t tell me,” Ye Xiu interrupted him just as he saw the man opening his mouth. “You’re Old Chu’s acquaintance, right? You told me your name last night, I remember. Wang… Jiexi, wasn’t it?”

“You weren’t as drunk as I thought then,” Wang Jiexi sounded impressed, if not for his dry, sarcastic tone.

Ye Xiu could appreciate that, really.

He looked around and seemed to have realized that he was in an unfamiliar room. “Where are we?”

“Tiny Herb Teahouse,” Wang Jiexi replied, “this is my consultation room.”

Ye Xiu gave a low whistle.

“So what — you brew your fancy tea in here and…” Ye Xiu quickly observed the titles of the books in the shelf across from where he was sitting and the unlabeled cabinet beside it, “…read?”

“I brew specialty teas,” Wang Jiexi said.

“’Specialty’ meaning?” Ye Xiu cocked an eyebrow up in question.

This man sure was annoyingly curious and obnoxious when he was sober, Wang Jiexi thought.

“I brew teas that contain magical properties, and I do tasseomancy per clients’ requests,” Wang Jiexi sighed and decided it was best they had this conversation while he was at least sitting down comfortably.

“Tasseomancy?” Ye Xiu entirely skipped past the part where Wang Jiexi mentioned that he made magical teas for a living.

“…I read tea leaves and predict the future,” Wang Jiexi paused for a good two seconds before he gave up and explained. He expected laughter, teasing, insults, or any of the above combination. Even though sorcery had become more commonplace, some people were still very adamant in their beliefs — or doubts, rather — about some branches of magic, especially divination-related ones. Tesseomancy was one of them.

He waited and waited, but nothing came. When Wang Jiexi glanced up from the steaming cup of tea in his hand, he only saw an engrossed gleam in Ye Xiu’s eyes.

“Can you predict my future?” Ye Xiu asked, half genuinely interested, and half wanting to see the reaction this would ignite in Wang Jiexi.

“I already did,” Wang Jiexi said, and then instantly clamped his mouth shut. He wasn’t going to let Ye Xiu knew that; after all, reading a person’s past, present, and future was a personal affair, and Wang Jiexi, if nothing else, was a professional.

“Yeah?” Ye Xiu leaned forward, curiosity obviously piqued now and previous traces of hangover gradually disappearing from the distraction, “and what do the tealeaves say?”

Wang Jiexi swallowed, his eyes unable to tear away from the intensity in Ye Xiu’s stare, but his throat was too tight as he recalled what he saw in the teacup last night.

The tea sommelier placed the cup and saucer onto the table sitting between them a little too hard, the liquid inside sloshing and spilling a few drops, and pushed it towards Ye Xiu.

This gesture seemed to have taken Ye Xiu aback.

“For me?”

Wang Jiexi nodded.

“I’m not a big fan of tea though,” Ye Xiu chuckled, but he pulled the saucer towards himself anyway, fingers wrapping around the cup to enjoy its soothing warmth, elegant index finger curling around the handle to lift it up and take a sniff.

“It’s matcha mixed with dandelion root, nettle leaf, turmeric, and lemon juice,” Wang Jiexi said patiently, “it’ll get rid of your headache and rehydrate your body.”

“Say no more,” Ye Xiu took an experimental sip because as fascinating as this topic was to him, the dull pounding in his head was a nuisance and he’d really like for it to go away as quickly as possible. And honestly, he actually liked what he’d tasted, and so he continued to drink from the cup with a small smile hidden behind the rim of the cup.

“Disharmony. Argument. Betrayal. Disappointment,” Wang Jiexi listed as he watched Ye Xiu took careful sips of the tea that he’d brewed for him, “that was what I’d seen last night. That was what caused you to end up at Misty Rain, wasn’t it? But I didn’t see anger, hatred, or vengeance, which are usually related to the aforementioned events and emotions during these kinds of readings.”

“Either Lao Chu had told you something, or you really are very good at this tealeaf reading business,” Ye Xiu said with a charming smile, one that was disarming but equally deceptive, and placed the empty cup back into the saucer.

The tea was soothing and rejuvenating — the slight bitterness of the caffeine and fragrance in the powdered green tea had woken him up, and the hint of tart lemon left a clean, refreshing taste in his mouth.

“I rarely misread,” Wang Jiexi only said.

“You know, all of this had been a very peculiar experience: just when you think you know someone so well — like they’re part of your family, and you trust them as much as they trust you — they think nothing of it and stab you in the back. So of course, I’d felt betrayed, of course I’d been disappointed, but the funny thing was, I’d been expecting this to happen for a long while now. There had been signs all along: we were striving for the same thing when we started out with nothing, and before we knew it, we were on very different paths and we were too stubborn to compromise.

“I thought I’d be angrier, and I thought about taking revenge because believe it or not, I do have the patience and ability to stir shit up if I want to, but rather than wasting time wallowing in the past and letting it tie me down, wouldn’t it be more productive to consider this as a new beginning instead?” Ye Xiu said all of this in a very mild, serene tone, as if he was narrating somebody else’s misfortunes and not his own.

“You’re actually quite an optimistic man, aren’t you?” Wang Jiexi asked. Not that he was expecting a serious answer.

“Oh, hardly,” Ye Xiu laughed, an unrestrained, desolate sound that belied a more somber sentiment, “I have some savings but if I don’t find employment soon, I’ll be in trouble.”

“Is that so.”

“Hey, Wang Jiexi,” Ye Xiu suddenly leaned forward again, which made the tea sommelier a little nervous as he unconsciously pushed his body back against his armchair.

“Yes?”

“Is there a silver lining in my future?”

Wang Jiexi blinked, not expecting this question at all.

Despite the ominous images floating at the bottom of the teacup, the ark rode on the horizon.

“A new influence will help you find refuge in your time of distress,” Wang Jiexi said softly, lowering his head for a brief moment so that it was impossible for Ye Xiu to read anything from the man’s eyes or facial expressions. The tea sommelier retrieved the empty cup and saucer from the table and stood up as he got ready to leave his guest to rest some more.

“You mentioned that you don’t have your house keys with you,” Wang Jiexi said, pausing at the doorway though his back was still facing towards Ye Xiu, “you should get that figured out. Maybe get a locksmith or something—"

“I lied.”

“Excuse me?”

“I wanted to stay with you a little longer,” Ye Xiu said in that same frustratingly composed voice as if nothing was wrong about his questionable action last night, “I wanted to talk to you more, when I’m less inebriated, y’know, so I lied about not having my keys.”

“Ye Xiu, you…” Wang Jiexi finally turned around, hands trembling, and the cold fury in his eyes could pierce through iron walls, but somehow, the anger was already simmering down into flickers of something else entirely.

As if he thought the situation wasn’t dire enough, Ye Xiu decided to throw gasoline into the fire he’d started by pulling out a set of tinkling keys from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and dangling them on his index finger like a bait, his lips twisted upwards into a mischievous smirk.

“Wang Jiexi, will you be the new influence that help me find refuge?”

So he nods. “Best friends for life.” He agrees.

This Means Nothing to Me by cuteandtwisted ★ Summary: roommates!au; “Do you still think love is bullshit?” Isak asked one night with his head lying on Even’s lap, both of them sprawled on their couch.

Isak had a hand on his hip and was staring at the offending article of clothing. “I’m supposed to put that on, Eskild? That sweater looks like it came out of my grandma’s closet!” Eskild laughed and shook his head at Isak, “Baby gay, this is fashion. It’ll look great on you, come on. Put it on.” He instructed, thrusting the hanger at Isak, who took it dejectedly. Or, the au where Even is a photographer and Isak is his infuriatingly gorgeous model.

Could Barely Tear My Eyes Away by EvensDramaticShenanigans Summary: And Even just about melted right then and there in his seat. He was almost positive his eyes had been replaced by hearts, and his smile was so big it was starting to hurt.

RIP ME by wyoheartsmusic Summary: Not only did he send a wrong link, no, he sent it to a wrong number too! To Even of all people. Even who he can’t get out of his head ever since he met him at Sana’s briefly when he was there to study.

you’re gonna sing the words wrong by strangetowns Summary: He looks like someone stuck together a bunch of parts they thought looked good on their own and expected the result to look like a person, with no sense of what an actual person looks like. Ridiculous. He should look utterly fucking ridiculous. (The most ridiculous thing is that he doesn’t.) “Goddamn,” Eva says approvingly. “Them calves, though. ”* A marching band AU.

with you i’m in warm water by tarjeiandhenrik ★ Summary: fake dating!au & roommates!au; Even might’ve gotten himself into a situation where he has to pretend to be in love with Isak. It wouldn’t be so difficult if he hadn’t been trying to pretend like he wasn’t in love with him for years.

Don’t you see what you are finding? by kaleidxscope ★ Summary: uni!au; This is Heaven in hiding. * Three times Isak gets frustated by Even and one he makes a move.

Got You Carved Into My Soul by i_once_wrote_a_dream Summary: “Isak, babe. This is me. This is the costume that speaks to my soul.”

we’re like two halves of one heart by ourlovelybones Summary: “I just want to know everything about you.” Even says nonchalantly, having no idea that his mere words have warmed up Isak’s entire body. “You’re my favorite person and I find you fascinating.”

S-P-A-C-E by Pingviini Summary: “What on earth is this, Isak!” Eskild shouts through the music as he steals Isak’s phone from his hands making the young man in question jump. “I leave you for two seconds and you are already giving in. No. Shame on you. You hold your head, baby gay. We are sad and angry so he is blacklisted for the night.” Isak tries to reach for his phone intending to give a piece of his mind to Even but is unsuccessful as Eskild fights Isak like his life depends on it and ends up shoving the Iphone somewhere he knows Isak won’t dare to take it. “Serr?!” Isak gasps as Eskild slips the phone to his boxers and then shrugs his shoulders innocently to inform Isak that he had basically begged for it, so ultimately it was Isak’s own fault his phone was now in Eskild’s boxers.

I’m FALLing for you by Schedazzle Summary: coffee shop!au; Everything looked tinged in gold in this season. He never really knew when it started; was it a certain date? Just a random day? Did it happen gradually? Who knew, it always crept up on Even, one moment everything was green and the next the whole world seemed yellow and cozy and just so nice. This feeling only grew when the little bell above the door went off and his favorite customer came in. Even couldn’t hide the smile spreading on his face as he spotted the by now familiar golden curls.

beauty and the moonlight by withoutwords Summary: Isak’s hair sits in piles at his feet, small golden tendrils caught at his shoulders and in his lap and on his shoes. Even tries really, really hard not to cry.

Let’s Let Things Come Out Of The Woodwork by ultimatelawrence Summary: uni!au; Okay so maybe Even’s crush is becoming obsessive. Maybe he’s asked around a bit too much about Isak Valtersen. Maybe he shouldn’t be going to parties he has no real interest in every weekend just so he can look at Isak from afar. Maybe Isak shouldn’t be so damn cute then.

Pour Some Sugar On Me by staylucky Summary: Isak’s put on some Halloween weight and feels self-conscious about it until Even shows him just how much he loves Isak’s body, whatever size.

i’ll paint the picture, let me set the scene by mmxii Summary: This might very well be the stupidest idea Isak has ever had. And he’s had his fair share of stupid ideas, so he knows what he’s talking about, okay.

not the kind of fool who’s gonna sit and sing to you by hippopotamus Summary: Isak doesn’t sing, and Even doesn’t get surprised by Isak anymore. Actually, neither of those statements is true.

since we’re alone by allyasavedtheday ★ Summary: “You don’t go to Bakka, do you?” Even asks when he’s exhaled. “Um, no. Nissen.” Even looks at him, a smirk tilting his mouth as he lets Isak take the joint back from him. “In enemy territory. Brave of you.” Isak scoffs, feeling a little more of the tension drain out of his shoulders – even if Even leaning closer does have his heart ratcheting up a beat or two. “Nissen and Bakka aren’t enemies.” Even tuts. “You’re no fun, Isak. This could’ve been a great start to a modern twist on Romeo and Juliet, you know? Two star-crossed lovers meet at a party but their school rivalry is destined to tear them apart.” * If Isak and Even had met at the Bakka party mentioned in 2x01.

Pumpkin King by i_once_wrote_a_dream Summary: co-workers!au; Isak grins, and taps the crown. “You’re the dumbest king I’ve ever met.”

Skeleton Key by riyku Summary: This is physiology. A conked-out teenaged boy on autopilot. There’s no intent behind it. It could be the dregs of a dream, or nothing more than the pure creature need to make an ache go away.

I’m Someone You Maybe Might Love by ultimatelawrence Summary: Even could feel it with every inch of his body, whenever he so much as looked at Isak. It was just three words. Eight letters. God, his full name had more letters. So why was saying i love you for the first time so complicated? (Part 2 of the Melodrama series)

sweeter than wine, softer than a summer’s night by dewdrops Summary: co-workers!au; “It’s a pretty slow day… no ride mishaps, only a few cases of food poisoning. Not much else to talk about.” Isak shrugs, looking up at Even. Even feels like a melting rat under the gaze of what must be some ethereal being, because who looks like that after standing in the same spot under a blazing sun for hours on end? Even’s too distracted to notice that Isak’s eyes have wandered elsewhere, now fixated on something behind his head. He doesn’t move to see what it could possibly be until Isak says, “It looks like one of the giant stuffed frogs from your booth is trying to get away.” “What?” Even furrows his eyebrows, turning his head. The group of teenage boys from earlier has found their way into his booth and are now working together to tear down one of the biggest prizes that hang overhead. “Oh, God. They’re back.” * Or, Isak and Even work at an amusement park.

after dark by evenskindness Summary: It’s one of those Friday nights.They’ve had the pre-game at their place with the guys, then moved their way to the actual party of the night and spent hours of just socializing, drinking and smoking with their friends. It’s been nice; the party was at Chris’s place so there had been mainly people they already knew, which made the atmosphere comfortable. However, instead of going to a club, Isak and Even has ditched their friends and made the decision to head home instead. Isak and Even and (sappy) late night talks and sloppy kisses. “Because I feel like a lucky coincidence is the only option for someone like me to get someone like you… But on the other hand, I feel like we’re meant to be.“

Life Patterns by Joana789 Summary: 14:05 - Even would write novels about him if he were a writer, or compose songs about him if he were a musician. But he’s neither, so he doesn’t. He draws Isak a heart, instead, like he’s done times and times before, traces it into the skin of Isak’s bare shoulder with his fingertips. He doesn’t know when he’s supposed to stop feeling like this.

We Keep This Love in a Photograph by kapplebougher ★ Summary: As he pulled out the last of his books on the bookshelf, one of the scrapbooks came loose and fell to the floor, face up. Isak automatically glanced down at the cover. Morocco - Summer 2017 was written in white ink on the cover in Even’s handwriting. Above it was a picture of the two of them pressed cheek-to-cheek and smiling with a happiness Isak hadn’t felt in weeks. They were standing atop the roof of a building, the vibrant lights of the marketplace below them twinkling in the background like colorful stars.Isak swallowed. He wasn’t sure what possessed him to do it. But he turned back around and reached for the scrapbook on the floor. * It’s been four weeks since Isak and Even made the decision to call it off. Now, Isak’s back in their apartment of seven years and he’s supposed to be moving out, but then he stumbles upon some memories that makes doing that a little difficult.

Those magic changes my heart arranges by diamondjacket Summary: He slowly, cautiously lifts his gaze. And his eyes run smack into blue ones he thought he’d never see again.

CHAPTERED:

Guess he wants to play (a love game) by diamondjacket ★ Summary: sports!au; He’s reverted to his previous task of lacing up his shoes when Even walks through the locker room door, practice bag slung over his shoulder and a heartbreakingly weary look on his face.

the truth about my disguise by mikaeloboukhal Summary: childhood friends!au; Since the day Isak was seven and stepped into Even’s room, they had always been best friends. Isak doesn’t think that’ll ever change. Or, the AU where Isak and Even are childhood best friends and that’s the only thing Isak is completely sure of in his life.

Can you feel the Love tonight? by skambition ★ ✓ Summary: festival!au; When Even let his gaze scan the masses, he caught a pair of green eyes staring at him shamelessly. Even raised an eyebrow, before looking the guy up and down. He was tall, even though not as tall as Even, had a really good looking body, slim and firm and defined in all the right places. He was wearing a grey snapback, and Even saw the blond curls spill out from underneath it. Fuck. The guy continued to stare at him, now with a smirk on his face, and Even couldn’t really look away anymore.

The Bucket List by Skamaxis Summary: Isak had a bucket list. A sex bucket list where he wrote all the places he wanted Even to fuck him. It was a silly list that he wrote while bored at work one day, and he thought nothing of it. Until Even found it.

family by cammm Summary: Even and Isak are married. But something feels like it’s missing from their lives. Something only a baby can fix. Or, in other words… Evak adopts a baby!

We Don’t Need to Whisper by ughasifxclueless ✓ Summary: Isak Valtersen is a new teacher at Bekkulaget with an embarrassing crush on the Head of Upper Juniors, Even Bech Naesheim. His mentor, Christoffer, is constantly winding him up and Isak’s beginning to doubt if teaching is for him.

a careful hypothesis of the heart by StMisery ★ Summary: Hate to Love!au & co-workers!au; "The boss’ fucking son got the job. Out of a pool of dedicated applicants. You can’t just deny nepotism like that,” he said. “I’m Isak, by the way. I didn’t catch your name?” Leaning against the metal banister in the elevator, the other man was the picture of calm. “I’m the boss’ fucking son,” he said. * Isak and Even don’t start out on the best of terms. Isak had been waiting nearly a year for the position of researcher to open up again. If he got it, he’d be working his dream job within one of the best biotechnology companies in the world. He applied for the position, heart in his throat, only to be passed over for the new recruit. When he discovered the new hire was also the son of the CEO, well, that was an unforgivable offense.

Lovesick by Sabeley ★ ✓ Summary: Even is absolutely not making up excuses to take his daughter to see the hot new pediatrician. (Except he totally is.) * Or 5 times Even’s daughter wasn’t actually sick and 1 time she was.

Relapse by queerwriterbee Summary: film industry!au; Isak Valtersen is an up and coming actor from Norway who has just broken into the Hollywood film industry. He’s confident in his skills and his ability to handle the image he has to portray in the spotlight– fame has it’s prices, and as far as Isak’s concerned, it’s worth it to do what he loves. That is until he gets a part in an edgy new film– written and directed by the notorious Noora Saetre–with first time actor Even Bech Naesheim as his romantic opposite. Isak thought he could handle forcing himself to live life as the charming, straight actor the world wants him to be– but, how can he ignore a connection as strong and as natural as this? * A film industry AU in which Even and Isak find each other on the set of a movie and fall deeply, tumultuously in love.

Vivid in Black and White by Fxckxxp ★ Summary: fake dating!au; In a Hei Briskeby video prank taken too far, Isak meets Even for the first time down on one knee—asking for his hand in marriage.

all i wanna do is be near by hippopotamus Summary: friends with benefits!au; They’d been friends, back at Nissen. Just friends, both wanting more but neither admitting it until it was too late.Two years on, Even keeps coming back to Oslo, back to Isak, though he can’t ever stay more than a few days. A relationship isn’t worth the distance between them most of the time, but at least they can pretend while he’s here. Or, 5 times Even only stays the night, and one time, who knows?

Nobody Loves Me Like You by cuteandtwisted ★ Summary: childhood friends!au & uni!au; “I’m Isak’s best friend,” said Even, almost glaring at Jakob. “Well, like best bud. Like we’ve known each other our whole lives,” Isak added nervously. But then Even downed his sixth or seventh drink and leaned across the table. “We might have known each other our whole lives, but I’d fuck you if you asked.” Or Isak and Even are childhood friends who enjoy ruining each other’s chances with exactly everyone else, rewatching the same movies, taking care of each other, and pretending they’re not in love.

we’ve made it this far, kid by everythingislove (narrylife) ★ Summary: The kollektiv had been Jonas’s idea. It was originally part of their plan to conquer the world as they went off to university together—the ultimate bachelor pad with a spare bedroom for hook-ups and a surplus supply of condoms available at any time. It took the death of Isak’s sister to change all of that. Their spare room was converted into a football paradise, every door and cupboard childproofed and any alcohol securely locked away, and in moved five-year-old Felix Valtersen. With four equally irresponsible and clueless uncles looking after him, he’s bound to turn out okay… right? * Or: the one where Isak is just trying to raise his nephew as best he can with the help of his best friends. He doesn’t expect to fall for Felix’s gorgeous football coach along the way.

Always been yours by candysky ★ Summary: Isak and Even are best friends and nothing more. They are also oblivious fools who haven’t realized that they’re in love. Or 3 times their friends notice just how in love Isak and Even are and the one time they take it upon themselves to get them together.

take me as i am by argentae ✓ Summary: coffee shop!au & uni!au; He isn’t crushing, and nevertheless this guy has become a Problem, because whenever he’s on shift he’s made it increasingly difficult for Isak to really spend his time productively. Sure, he could just find another place to study but he likes the access to coffee here even though he actually kind of hates the bitterness of it and he’s just not going to let himself get swept aside because of this guy. In summary: Isak has been suffering. Terribly.

No Chance That I’m Leaving Here Without You On Me by plumclouds ✓ Summary: Isak might just be a cocky little shit. Even might just love it a little (read: a lot).

The trip to you by charlyflowers Summary: Hate to Love!au; Isak hates Even. He hates him with all his heart. What a pity the art class are coming also to the trip to Germany.

toilet bowl syphilis by thekardemomme ✓ Summary: Isak is drunk and crying in a bathroom stall in the middle of London when another Norwegian happens to walk in.

79 Percent by wyoheartsmusic ✓ Summary: fake dating!au; Isak helps Even out in a desperate situation.

Paint My Conscience Gold by EvenbechNeiheim ★ Summary: There’s always Isak, the boy in white and silver. And it’s easy, you see, it’s easy because he already has a road for him laid out. He has gotten his life, even when he hasn’t figured out how to live it. He’s never really broken a rule, never stepped out a foot away from his picket fence box despite the desire he has for it to splinter around him. And then there’s Even, the boy in black and gold. Who wrecks the picket fence box like a tornado, and promises to take Isak’s heart with it.

I Think I Wanna Marry You by mondayblues Summary: fake dating!au; Even’s sister is getting married and Even doesn’t have a date, despite him assuring his mum that he does. He turns to Twitter in hopes of finding someone willing to go with him. What happens when a young man, by the name of Isak, agrees to go with him? Could it be love? Or just another person for Even to pin all of his hope onto? (Or the parallel universe in which Isak replies to a tweet that lands him a ‘date’ with Even.)

Alphabet Aerobics by nofeartina ★ Summary: It starts with something Magnus says. Because of course it does.“I bet you two have the most adventurous sex,” he says and looks at Isak with stars in his eyes. Do they really? Isak’s suddenly not so sure. Or the one where Isak makes them explore sex using the letters of the alphabet.

all I see is you by littlemovie (Lejla) ✓ Summary: coffee shop!au; “Aren’t you gonna ask me why I’m a bad person?” Isak somehow whined and demanded at the same time.Jonas blew out a breath in amusement, which made the dark curls on his forehead move with his breath. “I’m guessing it has something to do with that guy, Even, from the coffeeshop?” Isak nodded his head pathetically. Or, in which Isak pines and Jonas has had enough.

Loving With A Little Twist by EvensDramaticShenanigans ★ ✓ Summary: If someone had asked Isak three years ago how he would be spending his Friday night, he absolutely would have answered: out with the boys, getting smashed, and pretending to be into the girls that threw themselves at him (although he wouldn’t have seen it as pretending back then). Never in a million years would he have answered: lying in bed with his boxers tugged down to around his ankles, his hand and stomach smeared with come- all from watching a cam show- a boy’s cam show, no less. Or the one where Even’s a camboy and Isak just wants to study.

Next to you, is where I call home by LostInAdmiration ★ Summary: childhood friends!au; “Why don’t you start track too? You’d be a good sprinter, I’m sure you’d do great,” suggested Isak.Isak wasn’t entirely sure why he asked - he mostly liked being alone and he barely knew Even - but there was just something about Even that had drawn Isak to him. (When Isak had admitted that a few years later, Even had insisted it was fate, that they were destined to be best friends. Isak just argued that he was a good judge of character.)

tender (is the night) by kittpurrson Summary: soulmates!au; His whole body aches, like he’s regrown his limbs overnight, stretched out muscles he never knew he had.Isak knows, in that moment, that his life has just been turned upside down. “You bonded,” Even’s girlfriend confirms, and the pity in her eyes doesn’t go unnoticed. “Try not to move.” * The one where Isak and Even accidentally soulbond.

I don’t even know your name by skamdeg (hamilfish) Summary: uni!au; The pretty boy from across the street is there, making a coffee. He’s got the fancy machine that you can steam milk with and he looks like he knows how to use it. It’s a little hot, if he’s completely honest. The boy looks up and grins at Isak, smile brighter than he’s ever seen before. Isak doesn’t know if it’s because he’s drunk but he feels fuzzy inside.

The Right Destination by AifaSkam Summary: “And let me guess, you’re not great at first meetings?” “I’m sorry. My mind was somewhere else.” “Well, sorry for bringing it back here.“ The guy says and extends his hand. “I’m Even.”

Outlander Epi 3.03 Recap

All Debts Paid like a good, Red-Coated Lannister should.

As always we salute the writer of each episode. This magical one is written by the legendary Exec Producer, Photographer, Location Scout and super fan - Matthew B Roberts. *raises glass

Boston, 1956. Claire and Frank really should have learned not to have breakfast together by now. Sure Frank is the cook this time and damn, I can almost smell that bacon-grease fried bread but all this white fashion and happy conversation is giving me indigestion. Far from book Frank, TV Frank is a cheater! GASP But he’s discreet. Oh, that makes it better then...NOT.

Meanwhile in Sunny Northern Scotland, it’s 1755 at Ardsmuir Prison. Harry Quarry aka Old Geezer, is giving a dashing Lord John Grey (SWOON & SQUEE for Oz actor David Berry) the 10 schilling tour of his new Govenor-ing responsibilities. Whisky is the only hightlight of being banished to the Northern-most post. Slainte! Short of hanging Lord John, this is hell itself especially since Kilts were banished post-Culloden. Goodbye knee-porn. *reaches for a tissue

They arrive in Ardsmuir’s happy place, the yard bursting with grinning prisoners, leaping about in the sunshine. Or not. Old Geezer points out the fully clothed (drats) Red Jamie aka Hooligan of the Highlands, who has plagued Lord John’s conscience since their last meeting. Lord John is too swoony to speak. There he was, standing right there in the shadows of the yard looking like the artful Dodger himself. Any shiftier looking and he’d swing out an arm, only for a ladder of fake Rolex’s to appear for a fiver each.

Harry tells Lord John that he had supper with Mr Fraser, aka Mac Dubh weekly because who wouldn’t, ye fool. Also, the other prisoners saw him as their leader and it kept the prison pleasant. That and 400 juicy rats. Mac Dubh was not to be trusted though and was trussed up like a xmas ham in chains. Lord John declares he’ll not dine with that....I think he’s going to say ‘Spunk Rat’ here but then realises Harry would hear him and it could get awkward. Instead, he ops for ‘Prisoner’ and we carry on.

When it’s time to clinker back to his luxurious cell, Jamie tinkles like xmas bell until he finds a little perch. A nasty cough is heard from behind him and then a familiar voice asks if he’s met the new governer? For the love of all things grumpy, it’s Murtagh! Hooray! He’s forgotten to brush his teeth since Claire left and rats are eating him alive but more concerning to Dr Jamie is his cough.

Forget where Murtagh’s been for the last umpteen years, we want to hear all about the new fella.... Jamie says he’s young, scairce more‘n a bairn which translates to.... well.... young. Prison obviously makes you a bit gay because Jamie then notes his carriage *cough, his square shoulders then talks about his arse. No wait, he has a ramrod up his arse. This translates to 'educated and posh'.

Jamie is invited to chat with Lord John in his quarters, as Hazza Quazza suggested. A rat crawls out of the dark and Lord John is mortified. He demands a cat chase the fat rat until it’s splat. No time for Dr Zeuss Jamie says, the cats would stop the gourmet cooking classes in the cells. Then what would bored prisoners do?

Claire has finally graduated from Medical school and has a party at the house. Bree is taking photos to mark the occasion and neglects to put herself in a picture. Good parenting. Frank is eager for them all to leave for their dinner reservations. Not suspicious at all, Frank. Wasn’t he M16? Oopsey, Claire finds a pretty blonde lady on the doorstep. Double oopsey, Frank didn’t mean to have his mistress turn up early. So busted. Claire decides its suddenly quite normal to go to reservations an hour early and clears the party goers out toot-sweet while Frank and little Miss Early-pants stand aside pretending they are decorative palms. Oh Frank.

The hills are alive with the sound of a ranting madman in Scotland. Red coats find a hobo wandering near the coast and take him into custody. Duncan Kerr rants about Gold and curses so of course the Red coats get excited. Lord John, smelling his golden ticket back to civilisation, hurries to Jamie to make a deal. He’ll lose the Emo jewellery if he translates the madman’s Gailidgh and French ramblings. It's a deal.

Frank comes home from his hot date with Candy, errh, Mandy or is it Sandy and Claire is waiting for him. He’s visibly drunk and she’s visibly ready to insert his British-issue ramrod! Claire accuses him of humiliating her in front of her colleagues. Frank slurs ditto and that her face is like glass; no one at his work believes in their sham marriage anyway. Claire gets snippy about his girlfriend and Frank says Sandy is no harlot, she has a PHD in linguistics. Who saw that coming? PS I want that bar! He poors another drink because we all know you win arguments when you are drunker! She asks if they’ve done the horizontal tango in their bedroom and Frank lashes back with a stinging “I think our bedroom is too crowded already”. Ouch Claire. That’s a fine serving of karma pie you’ve just choked on.

It’s cheery days over at Ardsmuir resort too. Jamie is trying to work out what the near-dead Duncan is raving about. He is very interested when Duncan mentions the McKenzie, Ellen marrying silkies and a White Witch. I fear he’s stumbled across some cocaine hustler but he insists that the Gold is cursed and the white witch will come for Jamie. Spooked af. Jamie tells the eavesdropping Lord John that Duncan was not making much sense. John smells a rat and this time its a big red, unshaven Scottish rat not telling the truth. He threatens to get it out of Jamie but Jamie just snorts. Umm been there, done that, bought the Black Jack Tshirt already, Lord John.

Bree turns 16 and it’s evident Claire and Frank are no longer on the same page.

Murtagh is getting more Dr Jamie medicine. Does anyone else think perhaps it’s Jamie’s healing skills causing them all to be sick in the first place? Murtagh is curious about Duncan Kerr’s news and when he hears of the story including a White Witch, he launches into some purvey memory about Claire and how often he thinks of her. It’s kinda creepy but hey, prison. What is in that tea, Jamie?

Lord John summons Jamie for supper. Jamie decides that’s a great time to suggest the Governor let the men roam the moors and set traps so they can catch their own meat, since the British are too stingy. At first Lord John thinks he’s pulling his leg but then Jamie explains it's another rat under the table. The prisoners can set their traps while out Peat collecting. Oh well that’s alright then! They have supper together and Lord John explains the lack of intelligence of a pheasant but it’s good with red wine sauce. Jamie takes a bite and instantly has a foodgasm.

Later, back at story time in his cell, Fraser decides sweet-talking the cellmates to sleep with his tales of buttery rolls, is a kindness. He's gone saft in the heid. If it was me sharing a cell and missing the good food, I’d tear him limb from limb. Or lick him. A lot.

Lord John now surely needs anxiety medication, after Jamie jumps him while out taking a leak beyond the prison walls. Jamie had escaped from the Peat Gang a few days earlier and now had returned. Jamie confronts Lord John about their history and tries to insight him to kill him as he promised the first time they met. John refuses to kill an unarmed man and they share a look. It's love blossoming.

They wander the nearby field shooting the breeze, as you do. John listens carefully as Jamie reveals why he had to go see if Claire was the white witch, Duncan was raving about. And of the gold? Jamie says he found an empty box with one jewel remaining and hands Lord John a perfectly cut sapphire. They are now BFFs.

Quick bounce back to Bree graduating in 1966 from high school. Claire chooses to wear white again. I’m sensing a pattern here.

In Ardsmuir, Lord John refuses to deny his fave prisoner’s requests. Who can say no to that big red lion. Lord John gets Murtagh a proper doctor. Jamie can stop collecting Watercress now and Murtagh is vera grateful.

Jamie is playing chess with Lord John and they bond over wicked moves and their lost loves. John confesses to losing his boyfiend at Culloden and Jamie tells John that his wife was called something starting with C. Umm, yeah, that’s it Claire. She loved festering boils like no other. John is impressed and jealous all at once. More reminiscing ensues about their first meeting.... “If you found a 16 year old shitting himself a worthy opponent Mr Fraser, then it’s no wonder the highland army was defeated”. Nah, it was the stupid bravery that impressed him mostly. Is John blushing? They bond like super glue to a shoe and things are going rosy. They talk of that fun time he thought they were raping Claire too - oh the scallywags.

Things get melancholy because alcohol. These two girls can’t handle their plonk and Lord John goes in for a raunchy hand caress. Jamie suddenly realises he’s on the menu and tells John to take his hand off him or he’ll replace his ramrod with his sword. John realises he’s just made a mammoth mistake and things are more tense than a rat in a prison cell before lunch time. Jamie leaves in disgust and Lord John sheds a tear, for he needed new pants again. *squelch

Frank tells Claire he wants to move to England and take Bree now that she’s 18. She could go to Oxford while he works at Cambridge and Sandy, Mandy & Candy can come be his proper wife/wives. Claire tells him no frikkin way. Bree is hers and he can’t take her. He reminds Claire that every time she looks at Bree she sees Jamie and he just wants to live with a wife who loves him. Fair point. Insert shit storm and tears here. He storms off out the door with his keys just as the phone rings. Claire is called to the hospital for surgery.

Ardsmuir is closing as it’s too comfy now for prisoners and the next garrison want to move in. They insist they have a better recipe for Rat stew. Jamie is pulled out of a line up away from Murtagh and is told he is being moved elsewhere. The others will be indentured and sent to the colonies (America). It’s a hideous moment where we are all waiting for Jamie to start struggling and shouting and trying to get back to Murtagh before they are separated by a whole ocean but it doesn’t happen. They can only exchange manly looks. Snow is falling as Jamie is tied to Lord John on a horse and is forced to walk for days. There is little chit chat during their journey. Lord John says they’ll have to talk eventually. Jamie is still sulking about Murtagh but Lord John says they'll only be slaves for 14 years. No biggy.

They eventually stop on a barren hill overlooking an extremely large estate. Ok it’s more of a palace but it’s home for now. Helwater Estate is owned by the Dunsany’s and Lord John has arranged for Jamie to live there for now. He explains it really is the best he could do for Jamie, short of a pardon and he should be totes grateful. They kiss and make up and stride off into the sunset.

Claire is soothing a patient’s stressed relative when she sees Dr Joe coming with his serious face. This can’t be good. It’s Frank! Nooooooooooooo! There’s been a car accident. Well, stick a fork in me I am done as all the feels are happening on my face. Damn onions.

Claire races to the morgue to see that he is indeed dead. As she enters the room, my heart shatters with hers. Frank’s face is without a scratch and so surely he’ll pop up in a minute like Jon Snow. Give it a minute...... ok, one more minute..... Nope. *ugly crying She finds his dead neck most magnetic and goes in for a whiff or a kiss, we aren’t sure. It’s a bit weird. Claire confesses to his nearby spirit that she really did love him *eyeroll and that he was her first love. Nawwww. *tears again. Claire slowly leans in for a final kiss and a tear rolls down her face onto Frank’s nose. Gahh! Too blurry to type more.....

The End.

She's in love with herself She likes the dark On her milk white neck The Devil's mark It's all Hallows Eve The moon is full Will she trick or treat I bet she will

Gracie Chiva - HPHM Profile [Redone]

(information is as of sixth year - same universe as Tessa and River)

Identity

Name: Gracie Tessa Chiva

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Birthday: August 17th, 1973 at 3:28 am (leo)

Species: Human/Witch with altered DNA

Blood Status: Pureblood

Sexuality: Bisexual

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Ethnicity: White - German, English

Nationality: British

Residence: Chiva Manor, a heavily warded house in the wizarding part of the English countryside

Personality Type: ISFJ-T (the defender)

The Mage

Wand: 13 3/4 inches of rowan wood encasing a unicorn tail hair core, reasonably supple. The wand is a light color with intricate carvings on the handle and a small peridot sticking out of the front end. This is her only wand, as if her wand breaks she will die immediately. A few different people have put protective spells on it - the peridot is one of them, from Ollivander himself

Animagus: Osprey

Misc. Magical Abilities: Legilimens, very strong. Her Occlumency isn't as strong as it could be, but it's much stronger than Tessa's

Boggart Form: Tessa covered in bloody gashes, gagging and clearly dying

Riddikulus Form: the blood turning into fruit punch while Tessa whines about her shirt being stained

Amortentia (how she smells): Gracie would smell like citrus, poison, and strong wind

Amortentia (what she smells): She smells a mixture of pine trees, spearmint gum, and puffskein fur (Merula)

Patronus: Unicorn

Patronus Memory: the first time she and Tessa were ever allowed to go wandering in the woods on their own. They found a creek and spent the afternoon barefoot, eating berries and splashing each other

Mirror of Erised: Herself, truly happy and looking like she was never cursed

Specialized/Favorite Spells:

- Accio

- Crucio

- Sanguinem Non (stops bleeding, however intense)

- Depulso

- Gelida

Appearance

(picture made using the zepeto app)

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 118lbs

Physique: Skinny, slightly thinner waist than Tessa. Her strength comes more from magical ability than actual muscles

Eye Color: Unnaturally green

Hair Color: Bright white

Skin Tone: Deathly pale, has barely noticeable freckles around her nose

Body Modifications: Two piercings in each earlobe and a cartilage piercing in her left ear

Scarring: Small scars on knees from various childhood injuries, a thin line around her ankle from getting caught in a rope, and a small line on her right middle finger from a cooking incident

Inventory:

- Her wand, either gripped tightly in her hand or tucked in her waistband

- Her pocket knife, hidden in her robes/shorts

- About twenty Galleons

- An icy blue cracked marble to fidget with

Fashion: Gracie likes to look good, but also likes to be comfy. When not in her uniform, she's most likely wearing a thin sweater/shirt depending on the weather, and black skinny jeans or shorts. She frequently wears black fishnet tights, and black heeled ankle boots. Her hair is usually worn down. As for jewelry, she has a necklace with a gold key that unlocks a box full of Vance's childhood memories that he hid for her before he disappeared, mostly of the two of them. She also wears large gold hoops in each of the two piercings, and a gold stud in her cartilage. Makeup-wise she wears dark red lipstick, blush, and heavy dark eyeshadow and mascara. If she hadn't been cursed she might not wear any makeup at all, but as it is, she's insecure about how pale she is and wants to bring some color back to her face

Allegiances

Hogwarts House: Slytherin

Affiliations/Organizations:

- Chiva Family

- Black Family

- R (seventh year)

Professions:

- Current student

- Future Dark Arts Professor at Durmstrang

- Future author

Hogwarts Information

Class Grades:

- Arithmancy: E

- Astronomy: O

- Care of Magical Creatures: O

- Charms: E

- Defense Against the Dark Arts: O

- Flying: O

- Herbology: E

- History of Magic: E

- Potions: O

- Transfiguration: O

Quidditch: Knows how to play, but is not on the team

Extracurriculars:

- Potions Club

- Dueling Club

- Tutor for a few select first year Slytherins, including Aiden

Favorite Professors:

- Professor McGonagall: Despite not being her Head of House, Gracie would much rather turn to McGonagall for advice than Snape. She appreciates McGonagall's teaching style, and her relative lack of prejudice about house/upbringing

- Madam Hooch: When Gracie was first cursed, Madam Hooch was the one to help her calm down and start to accept her changed appearance. Hooch's yellow eyes and whiteish hair are not common either, so the similarities and Hooch's successful life helped Gracie see that she would be okay

Least Favorite Professors:

- Professor Snape: Gracie has never liked her Head of House. Snape is cruel to many of her classmates, grades based on his own opinion of the student, and makes learning in the classroom nearly impossible

- Professor Dumbledore: In the beginning, she didn't mind him, but as the years went on and he proved to be more and more useless during dangerous times, Gracie lost all respect for him. The final straw was when he told her that none of this would have happened if she had left it alone, because she knew that this wasn't her fault and if not for her people would be dead (Redacted's death doesn't happen in my canon)

Relationships

Twin Sister: Tessa Gracie Chiva

- Tessa is younger by eight and a half minutes

- Despite them being the same age, Gracie feels much older and more mature than her sister

- Tessa quit everything to do with the vaults after defeating the second one in third year, so she hasn't seen the horrors that Gracie has

- As such, Gracie feels extremely protective to her sister and tries to always keep her safe, far away from any danger. This is part of why she runs away in seventh year

- Gracie hasn't told Tessa about her crazes and unnatural sadistic urges yet. Tessa finds out a little information shortly before Gracie disappears

- Gracie loves her sister more than anyone else. When they fight, she's always the first one to start crying. She would do anything to protect Tessa, whether it be suffer immense torture, die, anything

- She's also jealous of Tessa's relative innocence

Older Brother: Vance Riley Chiva

- He's five years older than the twins

- As a little girl, Gracie worshipped Vance. He was older and cool, and he spoiled her

- The news of Vance's disappearance shattered her heart, and when she found the key, she spent hours going through all of the memories using her mother's pensieve

- Gracie's main motivation to start looking for the vaults was to find Vance. After finding him and seeing how different he was, she stopped caring about him and only continued to protect Tessa and her friends

- The first spell Gracie learned outside of class was the sticking charm, which she used to stick the clasp of her necklace to the back of her neck. She doesn't undo the spell until the very end of sixth year, when she loses all hope of getting her brother back

- The love she once felt turns to hate fast, but she can't bring herself to throw the key away, so she gives it to Tessa

Younger Cousin: Aiden Carter Darkling

- Aiden is the son of Rachel Chiva, Jason's sister. Rachel and Aiden's father divorced while he was still young, but it was relatively amicable and he comes around for holidays

- Gracie tutors Aiden and a couple of his friends in Potions

- She's always had a liking for the kid. She sees a bit of herself in him, from before she was lost to the vaults

- They aren't the closest, but other than (some of) her immediate family, Aiden is the only family member Gracie doesn't hate

Mother: Clarissa Vanessa Black

- Clarissa passed on her Legilimency to her children

- Gracie's relationship with her mother is strained these days

- They're actually closer than they used to be, with Gracie's favorite parent having been her father as a kid

- Clarissa legally separates from Jason after his arrest, and once she's wiped her hands of him, she and Gracie get closer

- Gracie knows about her mother's girlfriend. Clarissa's upbringing made her too afraid to ever come out, but she's bisexual and began dating her childhood friend Margaret (again) after Jason was arrested

- Gracie also knows that Margaret's husband didn't die of illness, but she never tells anyone that Margaret poisoned him because she had good reason to

- The silent acknowledgement of "I know about you and you know I know but we won't mention it" is the main sense of closeness she and her mother have

- They'll never be as close as they should be, but Gracie does love her mother and her mother does love her

Father: Jason Harvey Chiva

- Similarly to Vance, Gracie loved her father a lot as a kid and looked up to him

- He was an Auror, and a good one. She would beg to visit his office with him and learn about cases

- Despite being pureblood and approving of the Death Eaters, Jason was loving toward his children and never brought up his past

- Jason began acting strangely after she was cursed, but Gracie ignored it

- All the love Gracie felt for her father vanished the day she watched him murder their family friend, a week before she turned thirteen

- After turning him in to his Auror partner, Thomas, they discovered that Jason had killed eleven people in his search to find out who cursed his daughter

- Thus began Gracie's horrible trust issues. Even Vance hadn't ruined her ability to trust completely, but after her father the only two options were trust completely, or not trust at all. Gracie has never trusted another authority figure since (and also has major daddy issues)

- Gracie kills Jason when he escapes from his transfer (she's twenty two). She hates herself for it, but not because it was her father - he deserved it. She's upset that she broke her promise to never kill anyone again after Rakepick (even though both were totally justified - Jason tried to kill Margaret and Rakepick tried to kill most of her friends)

Love Interest: Merula Snyde

- In first year Gracie hated Merula. Merula was mean to Gracie's new friends and was boastful about being the best even though she clearly wasn't, and it was obnoxious having to share a dorm with her

- In second year it gets a bit worse, but then it gets a bit better too. It gets to the point where they don't hate each other and can coexist peacefully, but they still dislike each other

- Then third year starts

- Gracie gets off the train, grabs her stuff, starts heading for the castle, and bumps into Merula

- Merula snaps at her

- Instead of being annoyed, however, Gracie is frozen staring into Merula's eyes with a jolt in her heart

- Well, shit

- Gracie spends that whole year conflicted about if it was actually a crush, or if it was just strange feelings from a strange situation, and eventually lands on being bisexual and indeed having a crush on this girl she used to hate.

- She knows she's bisexual and not a lesbian because she had a small crush on one of the boys in her neighborhood, but that fades pretty quickly after getting back to school

- In fourth year, it starts becoming more apparent that Merula shares her feelings

- Gracie takes a risk and asks her to the Celestial Ball, and Merula says yes

- She and Merula had a lot of fun at the ball, and Gracie's heart nearly exploded during the slow dance

- A week later, Rowan is pissed with the pining and rants about it to Ismelda of all people, who then tells Merula to ask Gracie out before she gets murdered

- Merula does, very hesitantly, and they have their first proper date a few days later. It's awkward and they're scared, but once they open up it's easy to tell everything is mutual

- They have their first kiss that summer while Merula is visiting Gracie

- Fifth year, the night before going into the Portrait Vault, Gracie and Merula are awake, terrified that they'll die the next day

- An impulsive decision leads them to the Room of Requirement (Tessa had found it by accident the year before) and they lose their virginity together

- They don't die, and surviving together brings them closer

- Sixth year problems arise

- Merula is losing her mind, trying to be independent and refusing to be at all affectionate in public, but still clinging to Gracie at night with nightmares

- Gracie also wants Rakepick's head to rot on a stake, but Merula is letting her anger control her and Gracie doesn't know how to help her

- When Gracie runs away in seventh year, Merula will go insane

- When Gracie comes back, Merula will punch her in the face and then hold her close and not let go for over an hour

Best Friend: Rowan Khanna

- Gracie met Rowan in Ollivander's. Rowan walked in just as Ollivander told Gracie her wand wood and Rowan excitedly declared that they had to be best friends

- Being young and relatively sheltered, Gracie said alright because she didn't know how friends really worked

- They did become very close pretty quickly

- They wrote each other letters every day until school started

- Rowan is the only one to know the full extent of Gracie's curse, because she forced it out of her

- Rowan can be pretty scary when she wants to be

- They both know things about the other that no one else does, and they can (and have) talked about everything, even extremely uncomfortable subjects

- Gracie is almost scared by Rowan's level of loyalty, but tries to show her the same

- Gracie mentioned being terrified to be cornered by Rakepick or someone else, so Rowan didn't leave her side at all for a week

- The next time Rowan said something about being afraid, Gracie did the same thing

- Rowan made Gracie teach her the blood healing spell in case Gracie ever can't come back from a craze in time

- The two of them are so close Merula was at one point pretty jealous, but she can recognize that they're just very close friends

Rival: Olivia Green

- The first time Gracie heard of Olivia was when Vance complained about her dating Duncan

- After learning about the vaults and Olivia's involvement with Vance and Duncan, Gracie was determined to find out what happened to her. It takes until seventh year to find out

- (this could all change depending on where Jam City takes the story, but this is where I'm going for now)

- Olivia joined R a year before Duncan died, two years before Vance got trapped in the Portrait. She knew how bad they were, but R was the only place she felt she could grow her power and protect what little she had left, so she faked her own death in order to not be caught by any professors or other authority

- Neither Vance nor Duncan know she's alive

- Over the years Olivia grew cold and ruthless, but she still has a small soft spot for her old friends

- Gracie tries to hate Olivia for everything she's done, but can't help but agree with her reasoning

- Olivia is the one who convinces Gracie to join up with R in seventh year, which is when they end up becoming good friends instead of rivals

School Rival: Diego Caplan

- Gracie hates this boy with everything she has

- He's a flirt with no shame and an ego stretching for miles

- Every time he duels her she makes sure to kick his ass extra hard

- She really doesn't like that he and Tessa are good friends because she thinks he has ulterior motives (he used to, but not anymore)

Enemy: Patricia Rakepick

- Gracie's lack of trust/respect for authority means that Rakepick being brought in for the vaults felt like a direct threat to her. As Rakepick recruited her, Bill, and Merula, Gracie tried to play nice but it's clear she hates the woman

- It's likely that if Bill hadn't knocked her wand out of her hand, Gracie would have killed Rakepick in the Portrait Vault

- It wasn't a craze. She was just furious

- Gracie is as determined as Merula to kill Rakepick (stupid canon mc too weak to murder)

- Joining R will be uncomfortable at first, because Rakepick will taunt her, but they'll learn to work together

- No matter how the game goes, Gracie's adventure with the vaults will end in killing Rakepick

Dormmates:

- Tessa Chiva

- Rowan Khanna

- Merula Snyde

- Ismelda Murk: they could be considered friends, but they aren't as close as they could be

- Liz Tuttle: Liz was close to both of the twins at first, but now is way closer to Tessa

Pets:

- Ruby, the family Crup

- Clara, Vance's toad

- Elaura, an owl

- Lemmy, a moke (he's more Tessa's pet really)

- a bunch of creatures in the Reserve that Tessa and Liz coparent, and Gracie tags along sometimes

Closest Canon Friends:

- Jae Kim: a year of spending hours together everyday will do wonders for a friendship

- Penny Haywood: they've been drifting apart, but they spend a lot of time together in the Potions Club

- Charlie Weasley: they were partnered for a Charms project in year two and kept hanging out all the time after it was done

- Olivia Green (while in R)

Closest Non-Canon Friends:

- Tessa Chiva (technically not canon because mc has no siblings besides the Jacob character)

- Rosalie Sonnenschein: a German model who is one year older and attends Durmstrang. First generation part Veela with a very strong natural allure, which she trains Gracie to resist once it becomes apparent that she's affected

- Justin Freed (while in R): a young man one year older than Olivia. He's mean but he's funny, and he helps Gracie get adjusted to the whole group. He's a bit too egotistical and slightly overprotective over Olivia and Gracie as younger women, even though they're both fully capable (and stronger than him)

(Storyline has to be in a different post because of tumblr's dumb text limit)

Future

Marriage and Children: Before the wedding, Gracie timidly approaches Margaret, who married Clarissa two years prior, and asks if they can take her name since neither Gracie nor Merula want to be associated with their fathers anymore. Margaret tears up and tells her of course they can. Gracie gets married to Merula at age twenty five, becoming Gracie and Merula Miller. They get married on a beach, with ice cream cake instead of traditional wedding cake. Penny calls them up one day with the news that she's been working on a potion to allow a woman to become pregnant from another woman and asks them if they'd like to test it. At age twenty six, Gracie nearly passes out watching Merula give birth to their oldest daughter, Destiny. Three years later their second daughter, Dahlia, is born

Career: Gracie becomes the Dark Arts professor at Durmstrang at age twenty three. She's mocked by the other professors for being young and inexperienced, but after she kicks one of their asses in a duel they back off. She's a talented professor, and her curse actually allows her to be a test dummy of sorts for her students so that they're able to learn both from the book and from experience. After marrying Merula they move to Germany to be near Gracie's family, so she ends up being very talented at Apparation

The Second Wizarding War:

- Gracie is out of the country when the war happens, and only returns when she gets word of Bill's attack, leaving Merula and the kids in Germany to be safe (and avoid risking Merula run into her parents, because Gracie knows that Merula would try and duel them)

- She does not participate in the Battle of Hogwarts because if she did, she knew Tessa would too and couldn't risk her sister getting hurt

- She's horrified to discover that Olivia and Justin were some of the people who escaped Azkaban, but relieved that neither of them were spotted in the battle. Olivia shows up on Gracie's doorstep the day after the battle and begs Gracie to forgive her for everything, including killing Justin when he tried to join the Death Eaters. Gracie forgives her, and uses her Legilimency to figure out the best way to get Olivia out of her jail sentence

- Merula hates Olivia quite a bit when she realizes that this Olivia is the one in R (not because she was in R, but because she and Gracie hooked up a few times while they were there together), but is able to get along with her - especially when Olivia takes a great interest in Rosalie

Old Age and Death:

- Gracie dies at the age of one hundred and seventeen from natural causes. After her death, her wand snaps in half by itself

Personality

- Major introvert

- Craves touch, but won't ask for it unless she's super close with the person she wants it from

- Tries to think logically whenever possible

- Might be a bit of an adrenaline junkie

- When she gets upset, making her laugh is the best option

- Sentimental as all hell, borderlining on being a hoarder

- Prefers animals to humans most of the time

Misc Information

- Gracie is bilingual, fluent in both English and German

- She can play cello. She can also sing, but doesn't like doing it in front of other people

- Gracie's misophonia developed around age nine, but didn't start becoming a real issue until the anxiety and depression joined in at age eleven

- By the time Gracie meets Fleur, she's so good at blocking out Rosalie's allure that she doesn't even notice Fleur's. Speaking of Rosalie, she and Olivia do end up marrying

- Gracie nearly kills Tessa the first time a craze is strong enough to target a family member. Tessa falls off of a small cliff and ends up in a coma the day Gracie joins R

- Gracie doesn't find out about it until the next time she actually sees Tessa months later because the craze was strong enough to disorient her, and oh boy does she hate herself when she finds out

- Gracie never officially broke up with Merula when she joined R, but wrongly assumed she would find someone else. Gracie casually hooked up with a couple people in the meantime, including Olivia

- Olivia gives Gracie an amethyst necklace a few months after she joins R, and Gracie charms that one in place instead of Vance's

- Part of why Olivia was able to convince Gracie to join R was because Gracie had recently failed suicide and was desperate to find a way to get R away from Tessa and her friends. If she couldn't die (and get them to stop targeting her friends to get to her, was the faulty reasoning), she might as well join them and be able to warn her loved ones of upcoming attacks

- Vance jumps in front of Tessa during the last fight with R and dies without saying goodbye, which messes both of the twins up for a while

- Gracie's interest in being a professor stemmed from Rowan's. Rowan became Head Girl :) and lived a long happy life as a professor :))))))))

- Rowan also smacked Gracie when she came back from R, which is fair

- Gracie's favorite muggle thing is orange soda

- Gracie likes pineapple pizza

- She has a sweet tooth, but she really likes sour candy as well

- Her favorite color is blue and she feels like it's a betrayal to her house

- Gracie is forever a dog person because of Ruby. She had previously been a cat person

- She writes a lot of poems as she gets older, and eventually tries out creative writing. She loves it and publishes a few books

- Everyone in her immediate family is left handed besides her father

- Her natural body temperature is a few degrees lower than a normal human's. As such, she sweats more and is always warm to the touch (I don't think it makes sense, but that's how it works for me so...)

- She's obsessed with night. She loves being outside at night, looking at the stars when the air is slightly cooler and feeling alone and insignificant in the universe (it comforts her to know she doesn't matter - it's the depression talking)

- Loves thunderstorms

- Believes in aliens 100%
