here's a little thing of austin and alyssa's juliet below >:33 with a mention of allegra's iryna!!!

Austin's eyes locked onto Juliet across the way, where she'd been coaxed into a dance with the town's resident medic. Nice guy, lost his wife a few years ago, and he knew he'd been lonely since then, but something about how close the two were had twisted his stomach into uncomfortable knots. He took a shaky sip of his drink.

He'd be truly dumb to not recognize it as jealousy, searing hot in his stomach and traveling up to his chest; he just didn't know why he felt that way. Juliet was his friend, his closest confidante. He was hers all the same, and so she'd confessed to him before how much she yearned for companionship. He should be happy for her. She deserved this. Instead, his drink goes down sour and he hands the glass to his sister to make his way over to them, ignoring the knowing look he gets from her.

He cleared his throat. "Mind if I cut in?"

"Austin," Juliet said, sounding delighted to see him. She glanced at her dance partner, stunning smile lighting up her already too beautiful face. "Well, do you mind?"

A laugh, as the man stepped back. Austin almost felt bad for interrupting. He deserved to be just as happy as she did, but the green-eyed demon of envy says he'd rather it be with somebody else. "Not at all. She's all yours, Austin."

That sent another wave of heat through him. "Thanks," is all he could choke out, watching him walk away to chat up Raul and Iryna, seemingly none too burned by him stealing her attention. He turned to Juliet. "Sorry. I know you were having fun with him."

Juliet giggled, a flush to her cheeks. "I was, but… well, I've kind of been waiting for you to ask me to dance."

"Oh." The heat in his own face was unbearable. He chuckled nervously and rubbed at his neck. "Then sorry for taking so long."

"That's alright." She stepped closer. "You're here now."

The innate ability to know how to breathe was suddenly failing him. "I'm here," he said, voice incredibly soft. He pulled her in with an arm around her waist, stomach twisting itself into worse knots when he realized just how perfectly they fit together. "Just one dance, though. I don't want to step on your feet too much."

—FAVORITE OC (AT THE MOMENT)

definitely a difficult task, but i think willa has potential to retain this title. she's protective, compassionate, and a good cook -- like what's not to love?? yet she also has her complexities because of hard decisions she's had to make and her loyalties. i put a lot of myself in her story and she has one of the most thorough backgrounds i've given to an oc. i find she brings me a lot of comfort and i'll continue to return to her.

—OLDEST OC

technically, this title would probably go to my shepard since i played the m*ss effect trilogy in high school. but, she's not very well developed aside from the general base character. therefore i'm giving it to wren...who's not very old. a year and a half old. but oc creation is more of a recent creative outlet for me so she's definitely going to stay extra special.

—NEWEST OC

my spider-woman and my crochet artist girlie. very excited about both! although piper kind of swept in and took the braincell while i was still working on yaz.

—MEANEST OC

i mean. she's a demon who tortured people in hell for centuries. and not a demon looking to be reformed or anything, she literally thrives off chaos. she's not constantly aggressively mean though.

—SOFTEST OC

i...actually have a lot of soft ocs apparently 😭 but nicole has such a big heart. despite the people she's lost, she remains a warm and kind and fiercely protective presence for those she loves.

honorable mentions: juliet rhodes, oriane, willa lau, piper perrault, cyrus virani, daeana velaryon

—MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC

she just doesn't really like talking or people. she assumes they'll let her down if she gets too close. but she's a hard worker and her jobs require some amount of socializing so she'll do it lmao

honorable mentions: logan campbell, darcy campbell, poe newman, kerenza astrya

—SMARTEST OC

has a phD, is a librarian. she's worked and lived in several different countries. speaks six different languages. she intimidates me, honestly.

honorable mentions: wren elsher, melina holmes, piper perrault

—DUMBEST (AFFECTIONATE) OC

my silly guys. zane kinda has himbo energy, tries to be a good father but doesn't always do the "right" thing. with cyrus it's pure vibes. kate specifically brings out the dumb in him because he's so smitten.

—OC I'D BE FRIENDS WITH IRL

a punk pop princess! she'd be so much fun to have as a friend... and she's an extremely loyal, ride or die, friend.

honorable mentions: willa lau, piper perrault, nicole ortiz, anzu adachi

💍 juliet and austin💞

@nightbloodraelle asked for this too... and a tag thrown to @risingsh0t bc 👀

anyway! i think with how important the archival of history is to juliet, austin would want to find her something antique... or at least something antique Looking bc he is kind of just guessing lol. definitely with pearls instead of diamonds bc well. ocean couple 💖💖

i also like her having a band like this...

and i feel austin wouldn't be too fussy about his own band, so just a simple gold one to match!
