written for @caressthosecheekbones , who requested some more kid fic from what has affectionately been titled the Biancaverse. here lies a tropey getting-into-trouble-at-school tale.

hope you enjoy it, friend! ✨

—

“I’m sorry, you want to file an appeal?”

“Yes,” Bianca says, parking herself on a stool at the kitchen island, sitting across from her parents and in front of her snack of strawberries and almond butter biscuit sandwiches that’s been awaiting her. She crosses her arms and pokes out her chin defiantly, clarifies, “because I don’t believe that I should be in trouble or have to go to after-school detention tomorrow.”

“Well now I see why it took you a minute to put your backpack away and join us, counselor,” Alex responds, careful to limit himself to only an amused smile. Every day his kids come up with hysterical Emmy-worthy material and it’s balancing on a taut parental tightrope, to not oppress their self-expression and feelings while also discouraging misbehavior. He glances to where Henry is standing right next to him and has his arms loose around their toddler son who is perched on the island. “We are in for some truly epic teen years, Henry. And what’s scary is that she’s got a pupil to teach all her techniques to. Please cover your ears, Artie.”

“Why?” Arturo asks, munching on a piece of mango out of a small bowl of fruit salad, sticky-fingered and bambi-eyed. He’s an easygoing child with a matchless sweet tooth and clearly would rather not have to busy his hands with anything other than his food.

“Because I’m terrified of two-headed monsters,” Alex answers under his breath at the same time Bianca wittingly cuts in, “I can just tell him about it when he’s older, Papi.”

“Darling, you do not have to file an appeal with us,” Henry says warmly, his gaze filled with an evergreen open affection. He prompts, “What do we always remind you of?”

“That I can talk to you about anything,” Bianca recites.

“And?”

“You’ll always listen.”

“Forever and ever, little love,” Henry swears. “No matter what it is. We always want to hear from you. Alright?”

At this, Bianca’s mouth trembles into a frown and it’s Alex’s heart breaking right in front of him. She’s been upset since they picked her up from the principal’s office, moody and angry—she’d marched up the stairs to her room immediately upon arrival—but this is different. This is his brilliant and caring daughter with tears gathering in her eyes, her arms unfolding and her hands now wringing, buckets of nerves spilled all over her. Alex had no idea how badly she was taking it and it chills him behind his ribs. “Oh, Binky, come here. Binks, mija, talk to us.”

Bianca climbs down from the stool and walks over to fit in the middle of her dads. Amazingly, at six, she’s speeding up to their height. She’s no longer the doll-sized baby that would lie between them in bed, reluctant to sleep and showing off her first smiles and laughs, deeply invested in keeping her dads as wide awake as her at two in the morning. Now, she’s taller than his midsection as she nestles into his side, her voice breaking up with cries.

“I don’t understand wh—why I’m in trouble! You guys always say how wrong bullying is and Jack was being really mean to Devon and making fun of him because he’s…he’s small and has to go to the other room to get extra help for his math lesson.” Frustration triggers a gale-strong sigh out of her. She wipes hastily at her face, clearing her cheeks. “I did what I was supposed to. I asked him to stop and he wouldn’t and I didn’t like it.”

“Binky, you okay?” Arturo checks in softly, looking on and his eyes wide with concern. Abandoning his snack, he reaches out, grabby hands in the air and trying to twist out of Henry's arms and ready to hurl himself off the island to get to her. “Binky.”

Bianca unglues herself from Alex and when Henry brings Arturo down closer to her, she hugs him and assures him that she’s okay and it's okay, Artie, placing a buzzing kiss on his crown of curls and getting him to giggle.

Immediately, Alex gets it and looking over at his husband, he sees the realization mirrored there as Henry gets Arturo back, hoisting their son on his hip.

Bianca had acclimated to being a sister smoothly, like a switch flipped on. She was over the moon when they’d first told her a new baby was on the way, offering to give away half of her toys and even her treasured purple bubble bath soap. She was so attentive the day Arturo came home from the hospital, holding him with help from Henry and pledging to take care of him forever. That vow has never once wavered in the past two and half years. Like every other sibling of humankind, she gets annoyed and mad; the two of them fuss over very superficial shit but she’s always been Arturo’s fiercest protector. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that she’s become another kid’s stalwart defender.

“Bianca Fox Claremont-Diaz,” Henry begins, his tone and smile gentle with her, his fingers delicately lifting her face. Alex is awed by the sight, sweetly aches at the tableau of his three loves and the perfect, so right image of Henry as a father. “Kit, we adore every bit of you and your big heart. We especially love that you look out for others. Yes, bullying is wrong and I’m happy that you remembered that. But how we respond to bullying matters.”

“I asked him to quit it, Daddy,” Bianca argues, sniffling.

“And that’s the right thing to do, absolutely,” Alex reiterates, encouraging. “And when you do that and it still doesn’t work, that’s when you involve your teacher. I know she wasn’t on the playground right that second but you could have waited until you saw her to report Jack. It wasn’t nice to push him, Bianca. Our actions have an impact and sometimes it’s different than what we wanted to happen. He could’ve gotten seriously hurt and you wouldn’t want that, right?”

It’s not instantaneous, Bianca goes through some wordless deliberation, emotions flitting across her face, but she mumbles out a short and quiet, “No.”

Running a hand over her hair, Alex says, “We’re not mad at you but we’re not exactly thrilled about that part. That can’t happen again, baby. Do you understand?”

“Yeah, I understand,” she replies, nodding. “I’m sorry.”

“We know but now you have to make sure that your teacher knows and that Jack knows,” Alex tells her. “And you do have to attend detention because that’s the school’s rules and I think it’s a fair response.”

“Thirty minutes is a lifetime,” Bianca mopes.

“Thirty minutes is a cartoon episode on the Disney Channel, Binks. You will survive.”

“If you say so.”

“And then at some point soon we’re going to sit down and have dinner with Jack and his parents to talk about what happened and how we can prevent it in the future.”

“For real? Papi!”

“Them’s the breaks, kiddo,” Alex says, channeling his mother to his mini edition. “Honestly, it’ll be pretty awkward but it also might turn out okay. Maybe you and Jack can end up being friends and come to an understanding. You never know.”

Personally, Alex doubts it—the kid sounds like an exceptional jerk—but he can’t always tell Bianca what she wants to hear. That pesky parental tightrope.

Bianca scoffs anyway. “I wouldn’t bet on it.”

“Perhaps we aim for cordial then, hmm?” Henry suggests, princely and pragmatic. “That’s doable, yes?”

“I’ll try,” Bianca agrees, just as sensibly.

“That’s all we’ll ever ask, sweetheart.”

“…and that you don’t give a future lecture on appeals to your brother.”

backstory

Persephone and Hestia were getting sick of the gods and their arrogant kids, herculas for example was little shit, they wanted someone good, someone that could keep the gods in line and be a good hero, they slowly started gathering goddesses, Nyx and Asteria agreed with the cause, chaos and gaia just wanted an heir but it didn't matter they had their gods now they just needed to a mortal parent to raise the kid, and they saw it, James Evergreen, a college ancient greek professor and an enjoyer of classical of ballet.

Once i was born Persephone didn't want to let me go but i couldn't be raised in the underworld so I was raised in the mortal world but Persephone couldn't help but pay me visits as couldn't my other mothers. I jump roped with Hestia and bought flowers from Persephone everyday, the starts somehow always looked brighter as i stared at them every night, the forest seemed to make a fun adventure for me every time i visited, chaos always protecting me as i ran through my young life full of life with no regards of actually keeping it.

Round 1 the top 4 were Kukui, Sycamore, Birch, and either Elm or Sada. I'll hold an elimination round later if need be.

Round 2's top 4 were Clavell, Jacq, Hassel, and Raifort!

It's past time for round 3 of planty intellectuals

Bellis is named from the Genus containing the common daisy

Fennel is related to the carrot, and is said to have health benefits of improved heart health, reduce inflammation, and apparently suppress'es appetite.

Cedric is the professor Junipers father

Cynthia is a Rhododendron catawbiense hybrid that was developed by John Standish and Charles Noble of Sunningdale Nursery in Devon, England in the 1840's and 1850's. Look it up it's really pretty.

Cynthia herself is a researcher and archeologist

Lusamine is named from Balsamina plant, which has many uses in traditional medicine. Some include burns, snake bites, warts, constipation, and fractures, depending on which part of the plant is used. It is native to India and Myanmar, and invasive on several Pacific Ocean islands. More common names include touch-me-not and spotted snap weed.

Her whole family has plant names, and her which kid takes over the family science business depends on the game variant you play. (Original or Ultra) Gladion is named for Gladiolus, the Sword Lilly. In African medicine treatment it is used in treatments for diarrhea, constipation and colds.

Lillie is likewise named, and given her white colour scheme, may be named for white Lilly. Lilies are edible plants (unless you are a cat), and are traditionally used for coughs and sore throats, though are said to have many other uses medicinally.

Mohn is named for the German name for Poppy. It too has medicinal uses, most well known for Morphine.

Even Faba is named for an edible plant here, particularly after a type of bean.

Now for DLC stuff (or game I haven't played)

Cyanococcus is the scientific name of Blueberry. English threw some other influences in there and added the r. He and his fellow professor Briar (named for thorny shrub plants such as wild roses), are technically from Unova, for all they show up in the ScarVi DLC.

I was tempted to put Hop (climbing plant commonly used to grow beer) on the list, but like Lillie and Gladion, they do not start their studies in game. Closest would be Lillie who was actually a research assistant at game start.

Heath (shortened form of heather) could have worked for the poll too. Personally, I would have gone for Calluna as a name, that sounds nice to me.

One who has a name that could have hit plant, but went for a spelling and meaning for sinister was Sina, which could have been swapped to Senna, a herb whose leaves can be taken for constipation relief.

Plenty of research "rival" trainers who become assistants don't have a plant name, such as Bianca, who goes for a light name meaning, in contrast to Cheren's black.

Some people like Bill and have a plant name in Japan, that was changed to something else for English.

Bill was from masaki, or evergreen spindle, a small evergreen tree,

As it was changed in translation, I decided against including it as an option on the poll.

Florian danced with their sister, Finn finally got to know the always so shy and absent Fergus properly, they found each other weird and exotic which Fuchsia found hilarious, they caught up with family...

"Hey Thomas! How's university?" "University? Oh yeah... Don't tell my mom but I think when I go back to campus I'm going to take another train and just travel a bit."

Florian and Finn danced for hours of course. Finn's parents were still around somewhere, but they ate something and other than that they just sat and watched.

Warm Milk

(remember this poll? I sure did! This is the original shit I was talking about! Takes place a couple of hundreds of years after the events of Crystal Springs, Into the Shadows, etc. Some context: The dimensions between planes are thinning. Rosehaven is seeping into the living world, magibeans long dead returning to the world of the living—but for what purpose? Not even they know...)

(enjoy!)

___

Bianca padded down the stairs quietly. Eyes attuned to the dark, she trailed her fingers along the side table in the hall, gazing at the photos dotted about. Even in the lowlight, she could see how happy her daughter was in the photos she was in (laughing with Blaise, a little Jacqueline grinning in the bottom right, pointing; face pressed against those of the twins, the three of them grinning). And the ones she wasn't in (one of the twins stacked on one another, running down a beach; a candid shot of father and son caught up in a moment of laughter), Bianca could feel the love radiating from the photos.

She smiled to herself, continuing quietly down the hall. Every single bone and muscle creaked as she walked.

Bianca sighed, rubbing her lower back. I never thought I'd say this, but I do miss being dead, she thought to herself.

In Rosehaven, you didn't feel all the creaks of your bones and muscle pains and such. You felt fine. Safe. Okay. As young as you ever felt. As spry as Winter (senior) had been, despite looking as old as Bianca felt. Your body is there with you but it doesn’t age or degrade. You’re right as a flurry.

But back on this plane of existence…you felt it all and then some.

She sighed, turning into the kitchen. A light glowed above the sink. The dishes sat drying in the rack. A window was open, the sound of the wind rushing through the evergreen boroughs comforting. It was no mountain, but it was lovely regardless. It would do.

Quietly, she slid across the kitchen, pouring a glass of milk and staring at the contraption that supposedly warmed things with the click of a button. She squinted at it, rubbing her chin.

Perhaps she should wake her son-in-law? Or the grandkids? That is, the fiery ones, of course. It would be far easier for her to have them hold it for a moment rather than make the ruckus the. Contraption. Was sure to make.

She found the button to open the door. It went in with a deep crunch, the door swinging open with a loud bang that reverberated through the thing.

"Oh dear."

Straining her ears, she listened closely, hoping she hadn’t woken anyone.

Snores from upstairs. The wind. A soft voice? Murmuring?

Her ear twitched. She turned slightly, towards the right.

Her eyes readjusted. The table was empty; backyard door locked. The screen door, that is. The heavy door had been pulled all the way back, letting in the cold winter air. It smelt like the mountains.

Bianca made her way over, relishing in the breeze for a moment.

The voice was clearer now. She peeked outside; nothing and no one. Eyes travelling across the table, she peered into the cozy den.

A light was on.

Her ear twitched.

"AND he let me use his HAMMER MOMMA! The HAMMER!" said a delightful voice. Just hearing it made Bianca feel such joy. She crept closer to the den, head tilted towards the sounds.

"The HAMMER?!"

It was Jacqueline who was speaking now. Excited with a hint of panic. A tone Bianca found herself recognizing easily enough.

"YEAH! Hephaestus says I'm gonna make my own bow in NO TIME!"

"That's wonderful, sweetie!" Jacqueline replied, the smile in her voice loud.

"She's been taking to the change very well," a third voice said. Smooth and chipper, a hint of tired—but not quite. Hearing this voice made Bianca think of her Winter, wherever he may be.

Her heart panged.

"That's good! I'm glad," Jacqueline sounded relieved. "I'm really sorry about all this, love."

"It's okay! I'm just glad you're safe! We understand, don’t we, Joy?"

"Yeah! Safety is important! I learnt that today too," the child’s voice grew quiet, sounding proper chided.

"Did you now?"

"…yeah. I accidentally hit Hermes with a few arrows. He was a real good sport about it but I felt very bad and then Mater gave me the safety talk."

"We really should have done it sooner," the third voice spoke again.

Mater. Bianca ran the word through her mind. Greek, if she wasn't mistaken. For mother.

"But! Better now than later, after she finds the lightning bolts! She was giving them the eyes earlier today."

Jacqueline threw a hand up to her mouth, trying to mask her laughter. “Oh dear.”

This is wrong, Bianca, she thought to herself. Stepping back (having made her way to the arched entrance, lurking in the shadows), she walked towards the kitchen entrance, clearing her throat before reaching the den entrance again and knocking on the sideboard.

"Jacqueline?" she asked, peeking into the room.

He granddaughter shot up, pillows flying. "Oh! Hi Bianca. Everything okay?"

"I fear I've run into a problem. The contraption that heats things up? The little one."

"The microwave?"

She nodded. "How do you use it?"

"I'll be right with you. Just give me one sec!"

"Certainly. I'll wait in the kitchen." Bowing her head, Bianca backed up, keeping to the shadows between the two entrances.

The sprite curled back up, bringing the phone right up to her nose. The little display glowed, casting a dim light onto her face. The snow was gone from her hair, Bianca noted.

"Is that her?"

"Yeah. Technology problem."

There was a delightful giggle. "Off you go to save the day! My hero. I miss you.”

"We both do, Momma!”

Jacqueline smiled. “Awh. I miss you guys too.”

“I knew it!”

The loving voice laughed. “Alrighty, Joy. Say bye to Momma. She’s got a something cold to save.”

Jacqueline laughed. “It looked like it was a glass of milk.”

“She’s got a glass of cold milk to save!”

"Okay! I love you Momma!" the child's voice was filled with so much joy, Bianca could not keep back the smile that had snuck onto her face. It was hurting her cheeks. "I miss you! I hope I get to see you soon. I got a sword lesson and I wanna make one with you."

"Awwh, Joy! That's so sweet! I'll brush up on the blacksmithing just for you, okay?"

"Okay! I love you! KISSES! MWAH!"

"KISSES! MWAH! I'll see you soon, okay?"

"Okay! Bye Momma."

“Right, off you go! Go bug your grandad for a bit.”

“O-kay! Wee!”

Jacqueline laughed, watching the child run off, Bianca presumed. She pushed her hair off her brow, snuggling into the couch cushion. "She's doing okay?"

"She’s thriving! And wreaking so much havoc. That’s why we’re on Olympus now. Jupiter had enough so we’re hanging out with my mater’s side. Oh, Jacqueline, you’d be so proud! I know I am. She’s a hit over here!”

“Good! Good. I’m...glad.” Jacqueline’s smile dropped. She sighed, mussing her hair once more. “I’m so sorry about all this, Donnie.”

"Awh, babe, it's okay! You’re trying to keep us safe. We understand."

"I'll try to swing by tomorrow? If that's okay."

"Uh, duh! You're my WIFE! Why wouldn’t that be okay? I love you. I always want to see you.”

"And I you," Jacqueline smiled. "I'll see you soon, brown eyes."

"Not if I see you first, blue eyes."

Bianca tuned out, giving them space. Moments later, the blankets rustled.

"I know you’re still there, Bianca.”

Bianca felt the heat rise in her cheeks. She turned the corner sheepishly. “Sorry dear.”

Jacqueline smiled, leaning her head on the couch. "S’okay.” She pat the spot beside her with a slippered foot. “Come sit!"

Bianca obliged, sinking onto the couch. Her muscles thanked her. She sighed, falling back into the cushions.

"I miss being dead.”

"You WHAT?"

"Oh, sorry, Jacqueline. Sit back! I don’t mean it in a way that's concerning. I just…forgot how old and stiff my body was. I miss not feeling every single muscle every time I move."

"And warm milk helps with that?"

"Hmm? Oh!" she looked down at her glass of not warm milk. "Yes and no. It doesn't help my muscles. It helps my heart, though. Your grandfather said it was the cure for any ailment," she smiled fondly. "Lately I've been finding comfort in a warm glass of milk. It makes me think of him. But alas, your father went to bed before I could catch him and Lady only knows what would happen were I to wake your siblings."

"When they were younger, disasters! But now that they're older, they sleep like logs, for the most part. Just waking them up would be an impressive feat on its own!”

Bianca chuckled.

"You miss him, huh?"

"I do. And I worry for him," she admitted, bringing a fist up to her heart. "I don’t know where he is, or what he's doing. I know he's on this plane. But I can't…find him. And it hurts. Everything hurts. He'd love to see this. Knowing that your mother made a lovely life for herself? He'd be delighted! She found a love as true as ours," Bianca smiled down at her hands. "That's all we ever wanted for her. And I was so terrible! Afflicting you with the shard and sending you halfway across the world. Stealing her away from her family to try and bring back mine…and even after everything, you've all welcomed me here."

"Bianca. I gotta be real with you. In terms of blood relatives coming back from the far past? You're not the craziest we've seen."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Uncle Pyros is like, fifty shades of messed up. That guy is WHACK. But don’t tell dad I said that."

"Your secret is safe with me." Bianca sighed. "Those poor boys. I always hated being called to court. They never looked happy. Serafina was so strict; and Canicus was just as bad in other ways. I kept telling your grandfather, I said, you know, Winter, we could just snatch them up and take them home! And he'd say, he'd say, Bianca, we have our hands full with one, don't you think? Best not bring back old habits." she laughed. "We didn't, really. Your mother was a very calm child. Well. She was a child when we left; I've no idea how she was in later years, or for the rest of childhood."

Looking off into the distance, Bianca sighed.

"Well…from what I've heard, she's where we get most of our unhinged ideas from. The most chaotic of all the seasons as a kid. Still is to this day, if you ask my aunts."

"Oh, how delightful!" Bianca leaned back into the cushions, a soft smile on her face. "It's nice to see them both happy together. Your parents, that is."

"Makes you miss your hubby, huh?"

"We never did tie the knot, but yes! It does. Deeply. Achingly so, even.”

"I get it," Jacqueline wiggled against the couch, getting cozier. "I miss my wife."

That fond, loving smile was back on her face; so small and yet, filled with so much emotion.

"We did actually tie the knot. I mean, we were already referring to one another like that so we went, you know what? Frost it! May as well make it official! And then we did!" She shrugged. "The proposal went a little awry, but the wedding was nice! Especially since we found out we had a KID beforehand! Can you believe that? A whole entire KID. She was totally unplanned and I love her so much.”

“Oh, and I took you away from them, didn't I?"

Jacqueline nodded. "And I couldn't even remember them, because, you know, your mirror does that fun thing where it only makes you think of bad and sad thoughts? They were so fuzzy.”

"I'm so sorry, Jacqueline. Really. I would never want to take anyone away from their families. That was a pain I'll never forget. Pain enough that it drove me to do that to you and your mother when I was shard-ed, just to try and restore my own."

Jacqueline smiled. "Magical objects just bring out the worst in people."

"Indeed."

"Why do you even HAVE that mirror?"

"Cursed artifact that came into my possession when I was young. It splinters often, and the splinters get caught up all over the place, making people see only terrible, awful things. I used it in my younger years to do some truly bad things. Much younger, of course; I haven't been that bad since meeting your grandfather. I was glad it had come with me to Rosehaven. It wouldn't cause trouble ever again, I thought.” She chuckled coldly. “I thought wrong. Seems that was the worst place for it."

She opened her hands. The mirror appeared in them, empty but for two shards.

She sighed.

A warm hand landed on her knee. Bianca looked up.

Jacqueline was smiling at her, softly. Reassuringly. "We'll find him, and we'll find the shards.” She gave her knee a little squeeze. “I know you miss him. I miss my partner in crime, too! And I know you missed mom.”

"I'm glad to get to know her again. Odd to say but. Well."

"I kinda get it." Jacqueline pulled herself up a smidgen, phone clutched close to her chest. "Donnie and I had no idea Joy existed for about three years. She was born from the joy we both felt being reunited again after the proposal. I missed her baby years! Had no idea what she was like until recently."

"Hmm. I feel we have a lot more in common than just looks," Bianca mused.

"Indeed," Jacqueline replied, in an almost dead-on impersonation of Bianca's own accent.

She laughed. "I'm sorry I took you away from your wife and child. And still am, evidently."

Jacqueline shrugged. "This whole Rosehaven thing is weird. Scary, too. And after everything that happened to me? I don’t want to risk Joy. Or Donnie. She can handle herself of course, but I love her! I don’t want to see her get hurt. That's why I didn't mention them. I wasn't sure if you were…"

"Safe."

"Yeah.

"Wise. My reputation is. Quite terrible, really. Especially with children."

"Yeah, maybe gramps was onto something when he said not to bring back old habits."

Bianca laughed, looking at her granddaughter with a fond smile. "I'm glad you've found love, too."

Jacqueline scooched over the pillows, leaning up against Bianca. She put her phone in front of them, the screen blinking to life to reveal a photo.

There was a very tall, very strong woman. She was blonde, her hair tied up, laurels wrapped in the strands. She was beautiful. Jacqueline stood beside her. And between them, a small child, a tad darker than Jacqueline and a tad lighter than the woman. She grinned, a tooth missing, her strawberry blonde (emphasis on the strawberry) hair pulled up as well, falling right out of the scrunchie. Behind them was a big, feathery wing; and behind the girl was a smaller set of wings, looking more like butterflies than birds.

"That's the love of my life, Donnie. It’s short for Hedone."

"Hedone. That’s the Greek Pantheon…Goddess of…pleasure?"

Jacqueline flushed, nodding.

Bianca smiled. "And that's your little girl?"

"Joy. Embodiment of Joy. She's everything to me, goddess of the springs. The moment I met her, I was like, damn. I'd do ANYTHING for this kid. ANYTHING."

"I felt the same when your mother was born."

"Was she like, sick, or something?"

"Sick?"

"It's just," Jacqueline shifted, facing her grandmother with a look of placid curiosity. "I've heard that when she was born, there was something wrong? Or off, or something. I’ve only heard it offhand oh, once or twice. Nobody's ever explained it to me, and Mom doesn't even remember. So. I figured, you know, who better to ask than the person who birthed her, right?"

"Ah. Well, she wasn't sick. She was a miracle baby, though. See, I'd always wanted kids of my own. But I'd never managed to settle down with someone and have them."

"So you stole them instead?"

"Yes. And I used the mirror to do so. It's an ugly thing; it fell into my possession when I was quite young. It takes the beauty and love out of everything and makes you see only the bad. As you are, regrettably, well aware."

"You as well."

Bianca hummed. "When I finally did succeed, and the little boy's little friend came and found him, and saved him, I managed to cry the shard out of my eyes. And that's how Queen Frost found me. A pathetic, weeping mess in the highest reaches of the Nordic countries. She told me that I would find what I needed here in Crystal Springs; that it would heal the hurt. That I'd be safe. And…I was. But the hurt never left. See, the shard in my heart stayed put. And whenever a child would come near my domain, I'd keep them as long as I could, just to try and thaw my icy little heart."

"Oh. That's…how am I both heartbroken and appalled?"

"I am a woman of many talents, it would seem.” Bianca laughed, the laughter trailing off with a small exhale. “It's messy, I know. And it got messier still. Nothing worked. I was devastated; stayed up in the mountains with my storms and my lands and all that nonsense. I was there for eons…until your Grandfather entered my life."

Jacqueline watched as Bianca softened, her face lighting up. The mirror seemed to shudder; it did not like where her memories were going. It disappeared as she looked away, awash in them.

"Was it love at first sight?"

"Ha! No. I thought him annoying and irritating and all but blew him right off my mountain. But he was like one of your brother's stray animals. He just kept coming right back! One day, I found myself not blowing him off the mountain. And then I looked forward to his visits. And then I told him about the mirror and everything and he helped me gather the pieces and seal it away. And we fell in love, and one thing led to another and we found ourselves expecting. In the traditional way. By ordibeing standards, of course."

"Oh! So Mom was the first sprite to be born instead of made?"

"Yes, and no. It was the first any pair of sprites had managed to conceive a child on purpose. Emphasis on the on purpose. The only example they had to go off of was Fate-touched, so they had no idea how reliable that experience would be compared to this one.”

“That experience being?”

“The Twin Princes.”

“Oh! I didn’t know that! I just assumed they were made the way all sprites used to be made, you know?”

“The King and Queen tried, of course. Fate prevented it from happening like that. But it worked the other way.” Bianca shrugged. “Serafina was a rather clever warlock. She knew exactly what needed doing for a safe delivery and all, and got it done well before they were born. But your grandfather and I...”

“Would’ve had no idea, since it’s not like the monarchy shared these sorts of things. And given how sprites were made, it was probably to them like, one and done kinda deal, I’d bet. They assumed it would never happen like that again.”

“Ha! And your grandfather and I went and proved them wrong. They’d have hated that! They probably did.” She grinned. “At any rate, given the circumstances, healers monitored us closely; we didn't know what to expect. A sprite had never been formed like that naturally, you know. Lady only knew what would happen. But I tried very hard not to think about that. I focused on when I could feel her move about, and making a nursery, you know. All those things you do when you're expecting."

"I don’t know if I'd know that! We uh. We were NOT expecting at ALL when Joy showed up, dragging Jack Frostbitten Frost himself and Venus, goddess of frostbitten love, behind her, the three of them being pursued by the personifications of Despair and Sadness."

"Oh my."

"I know! I'd have loved to paint a nursery or have that whole build up to her arrival, but it was very sudden and violent.” She looked sheepish for a moment, running her hand through her hair and looking away. “I was very violent."

"Momma bear energy, yes?"

"Oh, big time. The moment Jack told me who she was and it all clicked and that connection was there, I just. I lost it. She's the personification of Joy, Bianca. Despair and Sadness wanted to consume her essence in the hopes that they'd feel something other than what they are."

"Oh. So you had a breakdown."

"Huge. I went feral. And in the end, as seems to be the case with this family, it was a hug that did it; Joy defeated Sadness and Despair with a hug."

"What an impressive child."

"She's so impressive. And she did that as a three-year-old. Which is HELLA impressive by sprite standards. Though she didn't quite age like a sprite? She is now, but she was aging like a human almost until she hit six. Regular six. Not six hundred."

"How old is she now?"

"Almost one hundred! I'm kinda relieved she seems to be taking after the celestial side more than the sprite side. I'm not sure I'm prepared for a century of trying to help her keep shape, followed IMMEDIATELY by a century of her keeping shape AND being a terror about it."

Bianca laughed. "The terrible two-hundreds."

"Mm. Mom and Dad say all four of us were pretty brutal, so I'm sure my kids will be no different. Sorry, I got so off topic. We were talking about Mom!"

"And then went into moms territory. Not off topic at all, sweetheart."

"But I wanna hear the rest of the story!"

Bianca laughed. "All right, all right. You don’t need to lose shape about it."

Jacqueline pulled a face. She lifted a hand, the entire thing AND her arm suddenly turning into snow as she tilted her head, crossed her eyes and went "BLARGH!"

Bianca wheezed. "Okay! I'm going! Pull yourself together, young lady!"

Cackling, Jacqueline's arm solidified. She curled up, snuggling back into the couch. "Okay. I'm behaving."

"You know, I don’t think you ever have."

"That's because you've been talking to Jack too much. He likes to play it up like I was the most troublesome thing around, but he definitely made it ten times worse."

"Now that I believe."

She giggled, her small smile reminding Bianca very much of a time when Winter was a child. A time well before The Call, before the repeat of her past mistakes, and before she was cast from Rosehaven for Lady knows WHAT reason.

"Bianca? You okay?"

She cleared her throat. Swallowed the emotion. Nodded. "As fine as can be, all things considered."

"We can stop if it's too much. I didn't mean to press."

"Oh! No. It's quite all right. Big feelings are big feelings. It's best we experience them. Least we steal children about it."

Jacqueline giggled.

"Where did I leave off?"

"Nursery. Prep work. That sorta thing."

"Right. Well…the time came, eventually. She was ready to arrive. And arrive she did. As a pile of snow and ice. Baby shaped, but lifeless. I…I sobbed. I sobbed, and sobbed, Jacqueline. I was beside myself. I refused to let her go, and your grandfather, bless his soul, stood by my side the entire time, and did not try to take her away from me. He did his own research; called Mother Gaia and her daughter, Tara. They came by and brought with them a life light. The thing you are given as a freshly made sprite to give yourself a form. They gave it to us, and it turned white as snow, and your grandfather and I placed it within Winter and she came to life, with the loudest cries. Oh, I was so, so relieved."

"She was brought to life. That was the miracle."

Bianca nodded. "And she was full of life. Very silly, a little goofball just like her father. And devastatingly savage when needed, just like her mother. She was smart and keen and we loved her to bits! It broke my heart, what we did. To think, fighting to keep our home safe for our daughter ended up with us losing her. And now I have that chance again, to know her, to love her…but it's been thousands of years. Thousands. Tara is far more her mother than I ever was. And my darling Winter Warlock isn't here to see any of it." Eyes downcast, Bianca looked at the cold glass of milk in her hands and sighed.

"Oh, here! Let me get that for you."

"No need, Jacqueline dear. I've got it."

Both winter sprites jumped a bit as Winter herself stepped through the archway, cloak draped over her arms. She placed it gently on the egg chair by the entrance, wiping something off of her cheek and cleared her throat. "Here. I can take it. I'll show you how the microwave works."

"Oh, it's quite all right, dear. I'm not even sure I really want it anymore—"

"Yes you do," both women said, in unison, in the same tone of voice. They looked at one another, giggling a little bit.

"You miss your boo thang, Bianca! Of course you'd want to indulge in something that makes you think of him!"

"I wouldn't argue with her," Winter agreed, gently taking the glass of milk out of Bianca's hands. "She's married to Cupid's successor. And has been having many sweets for the exact same reason you find yourself craving a warm glass of milk."

"Ah. I'm out numbered, it appears."

"And outwitted! Come on, up you go. Here." Winter offered her an arm. Bianca took it with a grateful look, gently prying herself out of the cushions. "Let's get those limbs of yours all warmed up."

___

Bianca let her daughter lead her into the kitchen. She tried not to lean on her too terribly much, but the support was…nice. They made their way to the microwave, stopping in front of it.

"The big button here opens it." Winter clicked it; there was a crunch and a low thrum and the door popped open again, the little light flickering on. "Just place the glass inside and click start a handful of times."

"A handful?"

"The number keys are preset. The one warms it for one minute, the two for two, and so on and so forth. The start button does thirty seconds which is usually all I need. Though I will admit, I don’t often use this thing. Usually I bring it to Blaise."

Bianca smiled. "I'd do the same, were I you. I briefly thought about it, actually, but didn’t want to wake him. He seems so stressed about this all…and the younger two? Goddess above. I daresay whatever would happen after waking them would be enough to send us all back to Rosehaven."

Winter laughed. "Fino and Fiera certainly are characters. They were worse in their younger years. I'm inclined to say they've mellowed out at sixteen hundred, but I'm not entirely sure I believe that. I don't think any of the four of them are capable of mellowing out, if I'm being honest."

Bianca chuckled quietly, gently closing the microwave door shut and tapping the start button three times. The noise it made nearly shook her bones; her jaw was most certainly knocking about.

"Dear me."

"Yes, it's a little loud. And a little too fancy for my tastes. But Jack was very excited about it, as was Blaise. I figured I may as well let them have their fun."

Bianca smiled.

Winter smiled back.

The microwave hummed behind them as the silence pressed on. Comfortable, but with something unspoken lingering between them as the microwave continued to tick down the seconds.

"How long were you—"

Bianca did not get to finish her sentence. The words were cut very suddenly as Winter wrapped her arms around her torso and pulled her in, squishing her very, very tightly.

"Long enough," she said, muffled against Bianca's chest. "I'm sorry."

"No." Bianca wrapped her arms around her daughter, cupping the back of her head and tilting it towards her, kissing the very top of it. "I am."

"Goddess above, that sounded so awful, I—" Winter lifted her head, looking up at her mother. "I couldn't even imagine any of that happening to me and my kids. I'd be beside myself."

"I was. And still am. And even though this situation is so messed up…perhaps it’s selfish of me, but I'm glad. I'm glad to see you living, thriving—" she smiled, wiping the tears off of Winter's face with both her thumbs. "It's all we ever wanted for you."

"I'd be devastated if it were me, and Blaise wasn't by my side to see everything the kids have done."

Bianca's grip tightened. She laughed. "It hurts, yes. Oh, I love him so much. He was my everything. Is my everything. I—"

"WAIT, HOLD ON. GRANNY BEE."

Her breath hitched as Jacqueline came sliding out the den, phone in her hand, looking frantic in an excited way. She'd called Bianca Granny!

"Jacqueline, careful!" Winter let go of her mother and reached out, grabbing Jacqueline before she could fall forward. "You know the kitchen is slippery in those socks of yours."

"I know, I know! But I just! Granny Bee." She caught her breath. "Hey. Hi. Woah. You okay?"

She sniffled, wiping away tears. "YES. GRANNY BEE IS JUST FINE."

Winter and Jacqueline shared a look. "O-kay…listen. I got an idea. I just need to ask you a few questions."

"Sure. Sure. Certainly." Another sniffle. The microwave beeped. "How can I help?"

Winter opened the microwave, passing Bianca the warmed milk. She nodded her thanks, taking a sip as Jacqueline started explaining.

"My wife. She's Cupid. Well, next in line to be Cupid. Right. Anyway, uh, because of that, she's really good at love stuff??? So HERE'S the THING. Would you say that the Winter Warlock is the—"

"Love of my life? My soulmate in all senses of the word? Partner in crime? My person?"

Jacqueline blinked. "Yes."

"Yes. Oh, absolutely, yes. That man. He's. I just—" her fingers tightened on her glass as she tried and failed to find the words to describe their love.

But for Jacqueline, apparently, that was enough.

She grinned, feral, whipping up her phone. "I knew it. Okay, so, I have this crazy idea. I think I know how to find him."

"What?"

"You do?"

"Yeah!" She put the phone up to her ear. "If you're okay with it, Mom. I know things have been kinda tough? I don't want to throw the other parent at you when you and Granny B are still working sleet out."

"Oh! Yes! Of course! If you're comfortable with it, Winter dear."

Winter's brow furrowed as she thought about it for a moment. "Well. I think before I know how I feel about that, we'd have to see if we even can find him first. And then, given the state you were in, Bianca…what state he's in."

"And if he has a shard in his eye, or worse, his heart…I shudder to think what part he'd be playing in this mess."

"Oh?"

Bianca nodded. "He was a brilliant warlock! Is a brilliant warlock. His mind…I believe Fiera would call him a giant nerd. Given that, and how he was like back before he met me, before he met Kris, even…I both hope and fear that he knows more about what is going on than all of us."

"Then we better go frostbitten find him, eh? How do we feel about a ladies trip to Mount Olympus…"

Happy STS! How do your OCs decorate for holidays?

Happy STS. Thank you so much for the question, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Bianca has a unique approach to holiday decorations, using her ability to bend reality to bring festive elements to life. She crafts decorations with her magic, making them feel tangible and real. For instance, she may conjure intricate wreaths made of evergreen leaves that actually smells like a pleasant pine scent or shimmering garlands.

Her decorations aren't just limited to traditional holiday items. She adds her own touch to them, like sculpting ice sculptures that never melt or animating tiny fairies that flutter around the room like twinkling lights.

Her reality-warping skills allow for effortless transformation of any space, making it feel as if it came straight out of a movie or book.

Olympus Tournament: Round Three, Batch Three.

"Hello everyone. My name is Bianca Gilios, I own and operate the White Wolf Bakery in Apricus. I'd absolutely love it if you found the time to stop in next time you visit our wonderful city. We're conveniently located in Evergreen Basin!"

"Now you may be thinking you've heard my last name before and you'd be correct. Both my younger sister, and my cousin are both competing but I assure you I am completely unbiased. With that out of the way I'd like to welcome you to the final fights of round three!"

"As you know by now, this entire round has been brought to you by Bundles of Lavender who have provided me with a lovely new dress."

A Bundles of Lavender commercial airs.

"I believe the matches are about to start. Shall we begin?"

Match One:

Hugo Knight & Cerise Gilios

Vs.

Roland Marigold & Kelly Maza

"I don't believe there will be anything fancy about this one folks. All four of these fighters are strength oriented and have a rather smash mouth style. Cerise squares off against Kelly for the second time this tournament while Hugo tries to hold his own against the imposing figure of Marigold."

"Cerise making some effort to use her small size as an advantage but Maza seems to have learned from their last encounter and isn't letting Cerise gain the upper hand on her so easily. Meanwhile Hugo doing his best to duck under the knockout blows of Marigold, attempting a stick and move strategy. Nothing seems to be making Marigold so much as flinch though."

"Hugo and Cerise manage to switch opponents and have some better luck. Cerise is just a little too quick for Marigold to hit and manages to trip him up, bringing the big man down for a moment. Hugo matches strength well enough against Maza, both crashing through a few walls as they grapple."

"The fights continue for a good several minutes, Cerise and Hugo switch opponents several times to try and keep them disoriented but Maza and Marigold are both members of the PWSB and are no strangers to adjusting tactics on the fly."

"Kelly showing her ironclad defense abilities as she absorbs everything thrown at her and slowly forces her opponents back to toward her partner. Marigold..looks to have been charging up his awakened ability which Cerise realizes too late. The heat around Marigold becomes unbearable, Hugo and Cerise both struggle to stand. Maza slams her hammer into the ground creating a shockwave that knocks them into the air as Marigold releases his stored up energy in a pulse which destroys nearly everything in the arena and launches both Hugo and Cerise out of bounds."

Winners: Roland Marigold & Kelly Maza

Match Two:

Ajax & Auburn

Vs.

Sterling Sobek & Onyx Cheshire

"Seems Auburn finally has a partner who can stand her. Well maybe not stand but is used to her at least. Ajax doesn't exactly seem to care what she says as she rushes over to fight with Sobek. Cheshire takes the momentary distraction to attempt to tie up Auburn with his wires but she barely manages to avoid it."

"Onyx using his wires again to navigate the arena and land a few surprise strikes on Auburn who despite her own quickness has a bit of trouble keep up with him. Auburn getting a little annoyed now and calls for Ajax."

"Ajax and Sobek battle back and forth, Ajax rolls his eyes and manages to reach back and toss a few throwing weapons at exactly the right point to snap one of Onyx's wires which sends him down right into a kick from Auburn. Onyx recovers and avoids elimination."

"Sobek has gained a slight advantage through his speed and abilities, cornering Ajax with a series of strong hits. Sobek manages to knock several weapons away from Ajax but Ajax seems just fine with his bare hands, catching a strike from Sobek and headbutting him."

"Onyx and Auburn exchange strikes but Onyx's inexperience as a fighter shows. Auburn is more well trained and to make matters worse has activated her ability. Onyx tries to fight through it but can't manage to find Auburn through the illusion and twisted landscape."

'Onyx goes to create distance again but the illusions throw him off and he ends up swinging right into Ajax who turns and grabs him, slamming him into the ground before throwing him into Sobek. Sobek tries to catch Onyx but it leaves him open, Ajax infuses himself with elemental energy and slams his fist into both opponents, creating a blast of lightning that incapacitates both."

Winners: Ajax & Auburn

Match Three:

Nilah Banders & Lapis Hamelin

Vs.

Jacqueline Edana & Skuld Kraka

"Here we are at the final fight of the round, time sure does fly by doesn't it? Don't worry, we have plenty more action coming up. In any case both teams have already squared off. Edana and Kraka don't exactly seem thrilled about working with each other but have come together for the sake of winning. Meanwhile Lapis and Nilah are showing some great teamwork."

"Kraka finds herself in a strange place as usually she likes to wait things out but facing off against a defensive master such as Lapis has forced her hand. She attacks repeatedly, attempting to find a weakness. Meanwhile Nilah and Edana seem evenly matched in everything but strength, Edana has that one in the bag but it doesn't help if she can't land a solid hit."

"Nilah is very good at keeping her distance, even managing to land a few strikes on Kraka who is now defending from her and Lapis. Lapis rushes forward suddenly and jumps off of Kraka's shield, launching himself through the air! It's like I'm watching a Hecaball match! Nilah suddenly breaks off from Edana and kneels down in time to launch Lapis again and keep him moving."

"Lapis flies through the air and slams into an unexpecting Edana, making her stumble. Lapis rolls forward and uppercuts her before slamming into her with whatever that makeshift weapon is which is enough to shockingly knock her out of bounds."

"Kraka seizes the moment though and rushes by Nilah, slamming into Lapis' back with her shield and causing him to take a step out of bounds, he's technically eliminated! A brilliant move! We're down to Kraka and Nilah. Both waste no time in fighting right near the edge of the arena."

"Kraka seems to have learned Nilah's attack patterns and is able to defend against her while hitting her with some strong strikes. Nilah though holds on and won't let it be over that easily. Nilah seems to understand that Kraka has figured her out."

"Nilah goes for an attack, causing Kraka to block but Nilah changes course and slides behind Kraka. Nilah starts attacking rapidly that it's hard for Kraka to defend. Nilah moves so fluidly it's like a dance, Kraka holds on but Nilah is able to knock Kraka's shield out of her hands."

"Nilah grabs her by the arm and spins her around, letting go and sending Kraka teetering on the edge. Nilah finishes her off with a beautiful spinning kick which sends Kraka out of the arena."

Winners: Nilah Banders & Lapis Hamelin

"That's going to do it for Round Three! Some absolutely thrilling matches to close out the round. There will be a small break before we come back with Round Four."

"For those that don't know, Round Four will be a special battle royale involving all competitors who wish to enter. It's going to be pure chaos, you do not want to miss it!"

"Thanks again to Bundles of Lavender for sponsoring this round! If you want quality, you can't do better than Bundles of Lavender."

"Have a lovely evening everyone."
