GUYS

WHY DO I KEEP NOT SEEING THINGS UNTIL THE DAY AFTER THEY COME

for those who are unaware:

youtube

I AM GOING TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

more of my screaming under the cut

ok so we’re starting right where we left off and OMIGOSH THE HUG I CANT HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

gus helping w the dishes is so sweet!! and amity omigosh this girl. not to mention camila is just taking it so coolly?? what am i saying, shes probably freaking out inside

I HAVE NEVER HATED A BAND-AID BOX IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I WILL NEVER DO SO MORE THAN I DO NOW IM GONNA CRY

is it just me or does it seem like luz is in shock? shes acting like everything’s fine, and not the way she acted in reaching out either, more like shes numb or something 🥺

hunter, bb, why would they hate you cuz youre a clone of caleb? that doesnt make you him. plus i dont actually think that caleb was ever a witch hunter in the first place. also, youre not helping luz. ily <3

why luz gotta blame herself, she couldn’t have ever known something like this would happen. and im not sure how time travel works in the owl house but id be willing to bet that even if she hadnt helped philip, he would have found someone else willing to be monster bait instead of her and lilith

‘we’ll tell them, when we’re ready’ girl that aint ever gonna happen. the way things go when ppl say stuff like that is that the thing gets pushed off until the characters cant help but slam right into it, no countermeasures to soften the blow. i am very worried about how this is gonna affect willow and amity.

AMITY’S LINGERING GAZE ON LUZ MA HEART AAAAAAA

ik there were some people who were worried that the gang wasnt gonna be ok with vee so im glad that they like her :)

well, glad to know that the philip-goo is, in fact, alive. screw that

gus nerding-out with all of the stuff in the basement XD (also camila why is there so much random stuff in your basement? 👀)

HUNTER NO STOP WHY WOULD YOU- UGH I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING OVER THIS

hunters little smile at gus :>

amity and willow protecting vee from the alarm clock, i cant- *wheeze*

ALL THE BABY PICTURES OF LUZ ARE SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WISH I COULD SEE THEM BETTER HHH I CANT WAIT A WEEK!!!!

willow looks so cute with her hair down i swear

MONTAGE BABYYYYYYYY

OMIGOSH ITS A MONTAGE INSIDE A MONTAGE

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO GLAD THEY DROPPED THE ‘luzity’ CRAP AND DID LUMITY

THE PICTURES ARE SO CUTE, IM GONNA- *dies*

‘HI IM BI’ IF I COME OUT, THIS IS HOW IM DOING IT

LUZ AND AMITY’S GRINS AT CAMILA THEY ALL LOOK SO HAPPY AND AMITY IS BLUSHING

gus, i love you so much for that, the rainbow and everything

their drawings of their families are so cuuuuuuuute (and amity not drawing karen HA)

WAIT IS WILLOW WEARING A SHIRT WITH A SHOOTING STAR?????? YALL KNOW DANA DID THAT FOR ALEX YALL KNOW IT

CAMILA’S RAINBOW HEART STICKER

VEE’S LITTLE TRANSITION WAS SO CUTE

HUNTER

MY DUDE

WHY DID YOU EVEN LET YOUR HAIR GET THAT LONG

AND WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT BOOK

(our first real look at caleb???)

OK BUT SERIOUSLY HE LOOKS SO GOOD WITH THAT NEW HAIRCUT I’LL ADMIT I WAS WORRIED BUT THEY PULLED IT OFF!

idk what they were doing but the portal kinda worked for a second, before it, yknow, combusted

what even is that blob, i dont even wanna try to guess whats in it (THEY ALL LOOK SO PROUD OF THEMSELVES, MY BABIES)

amity’s look of wonder at the rain, my beloved <3<3

im so happy they got to have some fun after all the trauma, they really needed it

do i even need to say anything about luz and amity in the rain

luz’s drawing skills have gotten so much better!!! (dat trauma tho. the depression that she cant have everything she wants in one world. in the human realm, she has her mom and vee but in the demon realm, she can do magic and has her best friends (and gf) and eda and king)

looks like her palisman has yet to arrive :(

darnit shes back at school (i wonder how she figured that all out)

thank you for coming to my ted talk, now back to your regularly-scheduled reblogs

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Ameila made her way into the Owl House, soon finding herself trapped in a hug from Natalie. "Baby, you made it! I was starting to worry your mom or dad caught you or something." Ameila simply kissed Natalie's forehead and replied, "Baby, no force in the Isles could keep me from you." Eda groaned out, "Ugh, save the lovey dovey stuff for yourselves. Anyways, you got all your stuff?" Ameila nodded, before Natalie gently dragged her to the couch.

"Well, Ameila, welcome to the Owl House! A home of magic, love, and...constant tax evasion." Ameila chuckled at her wife's description. "Ah...I love it here already. Not as crowded as back at the mansion." Natalie smiled, and asked, "So, uh, we got this Wii here. Found it when I was about 16. Wanna play some New Super Mario Bros. Wii?" Ameila nodded, before asking, "Uh...who's Mario?" Natalie's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my Titan, how come I've never told you about Mario?! C'mon, I'll explain as we play."

Later...

"Woo! Alright, World 1 is done! Now it's off to...to...Hey, you OK," asked Natalie to Ameila, who was staring off into space before Natalie's words snapped her back. "Oh, yeah, just...thinking of something." Natalie moved closer, allowing her arm to wrap around Ameila's waist, and softly whispered, "Hey, I'm here. You can talk about what's troubling you." Ameila sighed out of love, before explaining, "Well...ever since I exposed my parents...a lot of things have changed. As expected, I know, but...Recently, every time I've looked in the mirror and seen my hair, it reminds me of them...I really can't stand it. So, I guess I'm asking..."

"Can you...help me dye my hair?"

Natalie was suprised, to say the least. Ever since they met at Hexside, she'd always been able to identify her by her signature green hair, save for a brown streak, so imagining her in anything but it would be weird...But she was up for it.

"Absolutely, baby. Come on, I'll help you in choosing the colour." With that, Natalie took Ameila to the bathroom, and unveiled a selection of hair dye. "When I was dying my hair grey, I also happened to pick up a bunch of other colours in case we ever needed them. So, we got options. There's Rowdy Red, Bleedin' Blue, and a bunch others. We basically got a rainbow in here." Ameila laughed at her wife's humour, before looking through to find a colour she liked.

"Hmm...I think I found one. If you may leave? I wanna suprise you." Natalie nodded, and exited the bathroom to allow Ameila to dye her hair in privacy. "Alright, Ameila's dying her hair. If any of you interrupt her or try to ruin the suprise for me, I'll turn you into toast. Got it?" Everyone nodded or spoke, letting Natalie know they understood.

Later...

"I'm done!" With that, Natalie heard the bathroom door open. "Coming," she yelled out, before rushing upstairs. When she saw Ameila, her heart started racing, and her cheeks turned crimson red.

"So, uh...how do I look?"

Natalie, after a few seconds of silence, started crying, and swiftly hugged Ameila, before screaming, "HOW CAN YOU LOOK SO PRETTY?!" Ameila simply patted her head, and began stroking her hair. "Thanks, baby. I was a little worried you wouldn't like it." Natalie looked to Ameila and asked, "Honey, tell me one colour you couldn't pull off." Ameila thought for a second, and answered, "Uh, orange." Natalie conjured the image in her head.

"...Nah. You'd still look gorgeous."

THE END.

O Titan Where Art Thou Spoliers!

I'm again having Thoughts™️

What the fuck was that whole starting bit. So King's connection to the Collector let's him do that. Also the Collector doesnt seem to be aware that they ARE connected

I know the Collector is supposed to be bad but damn, the "Wait dont leave!" And "I wont be alone anymore!" they really just sounded like a lost kid

This episode was like self reflection time

KING HUGGING THE BONE OF THE ISLES, I CAN'T

Steve face reveal was the reveal we never knew we needed

I like how the helmet broke open for King's horns

"Looks like I'm due for a growth spurt soon" BABY BOY, NO STAY SMALL

Lilith this whole episode like, she had some realisation about herself

Full intro!? I missed you!

"Aw she sent so many hearts" the fact that they make sure to give us a single lumity crumb! Like! They know what we want!

King's the son of the boiling isles confirmed. I'm not crying this is eye sweat

Eda holding back her hand when she found out Lilith left a map, this woman wants to choose violence so bad

"Oh so you found a commune of blood thirty fanatics in a place that was supposed to be empty!" Eda throwing the shade

The "Tall genes" comment stqjwydykd

King being called Lilith's nephew is everything to me

"I wanna go on a heist!" "Of course you do" Eda this is your influence and you know it

WHY IS HOOTY'S MOUTH FILLED WITH SO MANY TEETH

Helicopter Hooty

King playing on the beach, my heart 🥺

Just, the whole scene of Eda talking to Raine and begging them to keep her kids safe. Eda's voice actor did an amazing job and I just got so emotional

The fight between Luz and Eda AAAAA IM GONNA CRY

"I can recommend a good therapist" yes, please let Lilith (and everyone else) get some therapy after this

"I'm going to set you down, please try not to bite anyone" WTSYDJFKEIW DARIUS

Eberwolf with the chomp chomp on those cuffs

At least we got what happened with the fight explained

Luz fan girling over Raine is everything

Raine calling Luz a human witch like yessss. Also the Eda bragging comment pfff

"You're a horrible actor, I had to make it look real" DARIUS IS A THEATER KID asdfghbkhk

"Uh this is just like Hexside" I wanna know the interactions Darius and Raine had in Hexside, you cant just say that and NOT explain!

"I'm starting to think I wasnt very good at my job" Its okay Lilith, you're getting better now is what counts

"We talked about this- You promised!" "I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS NAME" Darius is officially one my favourite characters

King's little "meow meow!" Being a reference to the first episode when Luz put her cat hood on- i cant

LUZ'S PALISMAN LUZ'S PALISMAN LUZ'S P-

Honestly this just makes me even more hype for the next episode

Steve being part of the rebellion, YES

Amazing episode. Good little intermediate episode with just the right balance of fluff and angst. Still gonna be thinking about that beginning bit though

Who's your favorite? Mines Eda and Raine as you've probably figured 😅

I wanna hear your headcanons, 🙏

Alright, so I don't know what you mean by "favorite" or what you want for headcanons, so I'm just gonna do all the ones I can think of under the Read More!

So, favorite ship?

Lumity and Raeda. These ships give me LIFE! Luz and Amity are so adorable and sweet and I love them! Eda and Raine doing the Friends to Lovers to Sad Ex's back to Friends and Will They Won't They is so beautiful! And I love that they're showing Eda and Raine, older and queer people, being able to be in love and develop a romantic relationship. It's so important to see that kind of thing!!

Favorite characters all together?

Philip/Belos, Love me my British villains that I can project my daddy issues onto /j

Hunter, My sweet baby boy who I love and adore.

Raine/Darius, They're in a tie cause I love them both so much, they hold my heart.

Regular ship headcanons

Luz and Amity are blushing messes when they hold hands or kiss, but sometimes on of them get into a bout of confidence and will flirt horribly to make the other blush. It's usually Amity, but when Luz does it she loves to sweet talk Amity is Spanish.

Raine serenades Eda whenever they get the chance. And not just serious "I adore you" songs but silly "I asked you to do the laundry an hour ago, go do it or no snuggles" songs!

Regular fav character headcanons

Belos/Philip slept with a teddy bear till he went to the boiling isles, and no longer had it. Caleb made him a new one, and despite it all, Belos/Philip still has it and sometimes when he's feeling sentimental he'll bring it out and hug it.

Hunter is scared of thunder and always has been. He gets really scared and tried to hide in a quiet and warm spot.

Raine is beloved by their former student back when they were a teacher for the Bard Coven.

Darius's hair is actually his palisman, similar to what Bump does. Only Darius does it because it keeps his natural hair looking healthy and gorgeous, and because his palisman just likes to be up there.

Tickle headcanons

Bro there are to many I'd have to make a whole other post for those. But let me know if you wanna see it!

#bean answers #bean rambles #lumity #raeda #raine whispers #luz noseda #amity blight #emperor belos #hunter #darius

Won’t you let me in?

Fandom: The Owl House

Relationships: Eda & Luz

Summary: After the events of Separate Tides, Eda and Luz have a talk. Title is from the song “Strange Sight” by KT Tunstall.

AO3

What a day this is turning out to be, Eda thought as the so-called “Golden Guard” approached her and Luz.

The witch had originally planned to take the money back to the house after checking in on the Selkidomus.

But then she got caught, and it turned out Luz was on the ship instead of safe at home. (She had expected Luz to follow the cart home after they started driving back to the house) The kid had apparently wanted in on the bounty hunt, once again not knowing what she was getting into. Forget the money that was forgotten in the boiling sea, Luz was more important! Eda had of course questioned her.

“Now why were YOU on that ship to begin with? You could've gotten killed!”

And then the Golden Chump showed up, and here they are.

“Hello, criminals!” He said. “What's about to happen should be relatively painless. If you just do what I say.”

“And why would we do that?” Luz retorted.

“Because none of you can use real magic.” He said, pointing a finger at the both of them.

Eda narrowed her eyes and pointed back. “You don't know that.” Sure, glyph magic was different, but she won't stand the talk of it not being “real”. They haven't seen Luz in action.

The Golden Guard shrugged. “Maybe not. But I do know you're standing on a plant that eats flesh.”

On cue, Eda and Luz looked down to see that they were indeed, standing on a flesh eating plant. And just in time, both of them could already feel the thing burning through their shoes. They yelped and lept to the side as the guard just watched.

Ugh, stupid Golden Guard…, Eda thought.

“Ahahaha! Okay.” He chortled. “The human will remain a sailor to repay all the money she lost.”

Eda tensed up at that idea. As if she'd allow Luz to become a pawn for the stupid emperor, just for some stupid money!

Luz needs to be safe at home…

“While the Owl Lady will be arrested, again! For attacking one of the emperor's ships.”

Luz looked at Eda, surprised. “Emperor’s ship?” She repeated.

“They're the only ones worth robbing.” Eda replied. At least the kid didn't know. She thought. She supposed Luz wouldn't have gone if she knew this was a setup from Belos. She turned back to the guard.

“Why are you guys hunting the Selkidomus? It's a peaceful creature and you're provoking it!” Eda demanded.

“The emperor ordered me to slay one. I'm just following orders.” The guard said nonchalantly.

Losing her cool, Eda glared at him. “Well I'm just gonna smack you around a bit!” She shouted, snapping her arm off. Unfortunately, the Golden Guard was too quick for her, dodging her to the point where she tripped.

“Leave Eda alone!” Eda heard Luz shout. Then the kid was tossed aside next to her.

Apparently, the dingus wasn't finished with them quite yet, because he then threatened to dip them into the Boiling Sea, ouch, but then he changed his mind.

“I don't have to be that mean.” He said snarkily.

Titan I hate this guy already…

“No one will have to be a sailor or get arrested. If one of you follows those Selkidomus tracks and slays the beast.” He ordered. “Here! I'll help!” Then the guard materialized a sword into the air, dropping it in front of them.

What is it with the coven and slaying innocent creatures?!

Luz looked at the sword, and back up to the guard, pleading with her eyes.

The guard rubbed his mask. “Ugh, you're making this difficult. Go, or I drown the bird.” He said, revealing King behind the cage he had. Thankfully, the demon appeared unharmed.

Eda looked at Luz, seeing her conflicted face. If she had Owlbert with her right now, she would've grabbed her kid and tried to make a break for it, as if the ordeal never happened.

But of course it wasn't that simple.

Luz sighed. “Fine.” And to Eda’s alarm, she picked up the sword. “I'll do it.” She said in a low voice.

Eda reached out an arm as Luz headed towards the cave.

“Luz, wait!” She pleaded. There had to be a way out of this other than killing! “Luz!”

On the way to the area where the Selkidomus was, Eda was trying to disuade Luz from doing what she was about to do.

“Luz, don't hurt the Selkidomus. We can find another way out of this.” She said.

But Luz kept walking. “You heard what he said, Eda. If you and King want to be free…” Luz stopped in front of a ditch and jumped onto a shipwreck. “Then I have to do this alone.”

The witch found it hard to ignore that Luz excluded herself from the “being free” deal, and her heart started pounding at the sight of Luz being above a ditch again. She didn't like where this was going at all.

“What's this ‘alone’ business? Don't you remember?” Eda tried reminding her. “Us weirdos have to-”

“What? Stick together?” Luz snapped. She looked at Eda, forlorn, almost startling her with the sadness in her face. “Because you stuck with me you lost your magic! You almost got turned to stone, and now you can't even afford your apple blood because you're worried about what I need to eat!” She rambled, looking down sadly.

Eda stared at Luz, her heart breaking for the girl. She knew Luz was going through some things, but she didn't think it was this bad. Only a week and a half of them being together again, and Luz still blames herself. She should've paid more attention in the last week. Eda tried to find the words to tell Luz that no, this isn't your fault, you can come down from there and we can find a different way to go back home together.

But before Eda could come up with an answer, the Selkidomus below growled, meaning it was awake. Luz kept her balance on the beam, then looked away from Eda.

“It's my fault all this happened, that's why I've got to do this alone.” She looked back at Eda, smiling. “I'll make it all up to you, Eda the Owl Lady. I promise.”

Then, to Eda’s horror, Luz let herself fall off the beam and down the ditch. She couldn't help reaching her hands out, as if she could actually catch her. Her heart dropped to her stomach and she couldn't help crying out Luz’s name.

No, no, NO-

Suddenly, Eda was reminded of that day on the bridge. Her sister tossing Luz aside like a ragdoll, into the ditch, that terrified little girl screaming as she fell, onto the spikes-

“LUZ!”

Eda shook herself out of her stupor, reminding herself of what to do.

Thinking quickly, Eda grabbed a nearby vibe and lept down the ditch to find her kid.

She just got her back, and she'll be damned if she lost her again.

Soon enough, the witch found a safe ledge to stand on and Eda spotted the kid on the ground, preparing to throw herself at the Selkidomus, which was already defending itself. Eda spotted a nearby branch, thick and strong enough to use. She tugged on it, preparing to swing.

Just as Luz had catapaulted herself in the air with her ice glyph, Eda swung in just in time. She wrapped an arm around Luz, holding her as tight and as close as possible under one arm so she wouldn't be dropped.

I gotcha, kiddo!

Thankfully they were able to avoid the creature’s jaws and landed safely in a bush.

As soon as they landed, Luz had tumbled out of Eda’s arms and clumsily sat back up. Eda recovered as well, turning back to the kid.

Eda pointed a finger at Luz, and she stared back with wide eyes, startled.

“You think throwing your life away is gonna help me? Well it won't.” Eda said firmly. She needed Luz to hear this. Luz deserved to hear this.

“You helped me find King’s crown when you barely knew me, you saved me from turning to stone,” Eda averted her eyes from the kid, starting to feel emotional. “And you even got me talking to my sister again.” She looked back up, seeing that Luz was still listening.

“So…unfortunately for you…my life is pretty great because I'm friends with Luz the Human.” Eda finished, her voice wavering.

That seemed to be exactly what Luz needed, because now she was looking at her with glistening eyes and a trembling lip.

Eda blinked her eyes hard to keep the tears at bay, and her face got serious again.

Focus, Eda, we need to get out of here.

“Now,” She snapped out of it and grabbed Luz’s face, startling her. “Your guilt-ridden brain is clouding your judgement.” She said, poking Luz’s forehead. “There’s gotta be a way out of this where no one has to get hurt.” Eda let go of the kid’s cheeks and looked around the cave.

Just then, a small noise made them turn around. A baby Selkidomus had approached them. Luz looked at it for a moment, putting the pieces together in her head, then turned back to Eda.

“Eda,” the witch looked at Luz, willing to hear any plan she had right now.

“Do you wanna learn your first glyph?” She asked with a determined smile, holding up one of her light glyphs.

Not for the first time, Eda marvels at just how bright her kid is.

Later, Luz and Eda had managed to create a fake Selkidomus out of plant glyphs and made it work by using the light glyphs to fool the Golden Guard into thinking they were fighting the real thing.

The power of theatrics and a bright young mind.

Moments later, Eda had gotten up and used whatever paper was left to draw more light glyphs on the ground.

She still remembers the first time Luz casted these glyphs. They were so beautiful, and Eda always found them comforting. And now she gets to draw them herself. It only took a week for her to finally try it, but it was worth it.

It wasn’t long before Luz returned with King safely out of the cage. When she approached, Eda took a ball of light in her hands and glanced up at Luz.

“My first glyph! Did I do good?” If she was being completely honest, Eda felt like a giddy little kid again, learning new magic and sharing it with the people she loved. It felt wonderful.

Luz observed her with a bright smile. “Yeah! You did great!”

The baby Selkidomus returned, quickly worming its way toward Luz, nuzzling her, which delighted the kid as she was hugging back.

“Baby, awwwww!” She cooed, and a part of Eda was relieved to see the Luz she knew begin to return.

“Wait- what is that?!” King asked, alarmed.

“Don’t worry, King, once the mother saw we weren’t a threat to her baby she calmed down.” Eda reassured, patting the baby gently. Then she turned to the mother behind them. “This area is dangerous,” she explained. “You need to move further out, into the sea.”

Understanding Eda’s warning, the creature nodded. Then something strange happened. It started...gagging. Until it puked up a pile of some gold goop, which Eda recognized to be Selkie Gris.

Mother of Titan, they hit the jackpot!

Luz stared at it with disgust for a few seconds before Eda excitedly pulled her close in a side hug.

“Hot dang! It gave you the treasure of the sea!” Eda said in excitement, holding her kid with one arm and holding the other arm out to present their prize.

“Gold? ...Tuna?” Luz said in confusion.

“It’s Selkie Gris!” Eda let Luz go and scooped some of the stuff into her hands. “People pay big money for it at the night market!” Seeing Luz’s still confused face, she got an idea. The witch smushed it in her hands and took the opportunity to rub it on the kid’s face. “Ahh, feeelll the money, Luz! Luxuriate it!” She teased.

“No, no, Eda! Ahh!” As expected, Luz protested and squirmed against the touch, but she was starting to laugh, which is what Eda wanted.

Eda smirked, taking hold of the kid’s hands as she tried and failed to get away. “What? Don’t like to luxuriate? There’s a whole pile of luxury right here!” Then she grabbed Luz’s arms and swiftly tossed her into the pile, earning a yelp from the girl. “Move over!” Eda said, following suit and landing face down.

“Edaa!” Luz protested, but she broke out into laughter with Eda. It filled the witch with much joy to see Luz laughing and smiling again. She deserved it after the rough day they just had.

With that being said, after a minute, Eda got up and decided it was finally time to head home. Maintaining her balance, she reached her hands out to Luz and hoisted her up, keeping a tight grip on her so she wouldn’t fall.

Thankfully, the Golden Guard didn’t obliterate her boat, so they had a way back home. Eda used an extra sack she had to bag the Selkie gris so they could take it home. It was significantly lighter than the snails. They would have to make a trip the night market to trade it off soon. Something had finally gone right today!

“You ready to go home?” Eda asked, turning to Luz, who was settled behind her with King on her shoulder.

“Aye-aye, captain!” Luz said, saluting.

That’s the Luz I know and love, Eda thought. “Alrighty then, brace yourself!” and she, King and Luz started their way back home.

It was seven in the evening, and the trio had made it home. After Lilith had presented her scrying potion, Eda had gone off to order their takeout, leaving Luz alone with her thoughts in the hallway.

...Something Luz really didn’t like doing.

A lot had happened all in one night, from her and Eda getting ambushed by the Golden Guard, to her being forced to go slay the Selkidomus (knowing she was about to take away a baby’s mother back there made it worse to think about), to Eda talking her out of it.

In all honesty, Luz felt like she needed to hear those words. Eda was right. She had done so much to help her, and she did seem happier whenever Luz was around. Maybe she wasn’t a burden after all…

She was snapped out of her thoughts when the witch in question came back around the corner.

“Well, I’m tired. How about you, kid?” She said, yawning.

“Hungry.” Luz said simply.

“Don’t worry, food should be here in about a half hour.” Eda replied, ruffling Luz’s hair. Then she noticed a familiar look on her face. “You okay, kid?”

Luz shook herself out of her thoughts. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”

Eda put a hand on her shoulder. “I know that look. You’re deep in thought.” Luz looked down at the floor. “Do you wanna talk about it? You know you don’t have to if you don’t want to.” The witch knew it would only make it worse for the girl to keep things inside. And after what happened in the cave, she wanted to know how it got this bad.

Luz supposes it wouldn’t hurt. She trusted Eda. “Okay…” she gave a small nod.

Eda slung an arm around her shoulders. ‘’C’mon, walk with me.” and the two walked slowly down the hallway.

“A lot just happened tonight.”

“That’s for sure.” Eda agreed. “I- you really scared me back there, you know?” she said, hand tightening on Luz’s shoulder.

“I’m sorry.” Luz answered. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Eda. She supposes she doesn’t always consider that endangering herself contributes to that. “I just...wanted to make things right.”

They stopped walking as Eda turned to her. “You don’t owe me anything, Luz. You know that, right?” She said, meeting the girl’s eyes.

“But-”

“No buts. I promise I’m not angry, kiddo, I just hate seeing you like this.” She sighs. “I wish you would’ve told me before things got this far.” Noticing Luz starting to sag, she guides them to sit against the wall so they can talk more comfortably.

“I promise I’m not angry.” Eda repeats softly. “You're just a kid, you really shouldn't have to carry shit like this…”

Luz takes a breath and continues to speak. “I hated seeing you and Lilith have such a hard time with money. And most of the money that we did have was spent on me. I-I thought that if I got a big enough bounty, you wouldn’t have to worry so much about me anymore, and I wouldn’t be such a burden to you.” Luz could feel tears starting to build up. “But I guess I messed that up.”

“Hey.” Eda said, tilting Luz’s wobbling chin up. “Listen to me. Don’t you think like that.” She moved the hand to Luz’s shoulder. “You were never a burden, okay?”

Luz looked at her with teary eyes. “Really?”

“Really. A burden is an unwanted responsibility. But you?” Eda used her thumb to gently wipe away some of Luz’s tears. “I’ll never get tired of you. You're the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. I want to take care of you. You mean so much to me.”

At this point, Luz is smiling wide with a few stray tears rolling down her face. “Do you really mean that?”

Eda nodded, cupping her cheek. “Of course I do. I told you a week ago that I don’t regret anything. You’re a wonderful kid, Luz. Anyone that calls you otherwise is stupid.” Luz giggles at that. “I’ll pummel anyone that says otherwise.”

Luz hesitantly moves in for a hug, and Eda draws her in easily. “You promise?”

Eda nods, pulling Luz closer. “I promise. It’s okay.” She begins to stroke Luz’s hair a little bit. Then another thought intrudes her mind. Her grip tightens around her kid once more.

“You really scared me when you jumped down there…” Eda spoke. “I thought I was gonna lose you again.” The memory of Luz falling towards those spikes is never going away anytime soon. The witch felt like her nightmares were coming true. No way in hell does she ever want to go through that again.

Luz nuzzles closer. “I know… I promise I’ll be more careful.” She isn’t sure it’s a promise she can keep, but she’s willing to try. A part of Luz notices that Eda’s becoming more and more casual with touch, but chooses to ignore it.

“Good.” Eda pulled away from the embrace, still holding Luz by her shoulders. “Remember that, okay? I don’t want you talking to yourself like this.” She said, tapping the kid’s head.

“I will.” Before they got up, Luz moved in for one more hug. “I love you, Eda.” Not for the first time, Luz was grateful that Eda made no small effort to just be there for her. She underestimated her.

Eda hugged her back. “I love you too, Luz.”

Then, a knock at the door, and a screech from Hooty.

“Looks like the food’s here! You still hungry, kiddo?”

“Oh my god, yes.” Luz groaned.

Eda laughed, stood up, and offered a hand to help Luz up. Unfortunately, the girl stood up too quickly, causing her to stumble a bit.

“Ahhh, head rush, head rush!” Luz murmured. She held onto Eda’s hand.

“You good?” Eda asked with a laugh.

“Yup, yup, I’m good. Just stood up too fast.”

“Wanna race to the kitchen?” Eda offered. “I’ll give you a head start.”

Luz chuckled. “You’re on!”

Yeah, Eda thought, looking fondly at her kid. I still don’t regret anything.

And Luz looked at Eda, seeing her heterochromatic eyes. True, the witch might've lost all her powers, but she didn't lose her love.

Part 4 of That Thing I’ve Been Writing. This one is VERY MUCH a first draft. Like, I know I’ve been saying that a lot, but this shit needs EDITING. I just have no self control and I wanted to share a little of what I’m working on. I hope you like the sneak peek! Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 ~~

They turn fifteen.

Many things have changed in the few months they’ve been together. It’s easier now, somehow, in a way it wasn’t at the beginning.

They don’t blush as much anymore, and they hold hands readily and easily. They kiss each other’s cheeks before they leave a room. Luz is overwhelmingly, uncontrollably happy.

However. Luz has noticed something, lately. Something that perplexes and confuses her.

Here’s the deal: Luz really wants to kiss her girlfriend.

It takes her days of getting distracted by Amity’s lips to come to this realization, and when she does, she’s sort of embarrassed. She knows she has no reason to be. This is her girlfriend, and girlfriends kiss, right? That’s normal!

But she’s never actually kissed anyone before, and this is Amity, and it’s been months of dating now and how in the world is she supposed to go about this? Does she ask? Does she just lean in? Does she send her a letter that says “Will you kiss me? Check y/n boxes below”?????

She agonizes over this for days, barely paying attention to the planning for their joint birthday party.

She still hasn’t decided what to do when, before she knows it, it’s time for the party. Edric and Emira show up with a tub of apple blood, hiding it behind their backs until they realize that Eda has not only already supplied the party with enough to knock out a slitherbeast, but also pregamed so much herself that she is well and truly gone.

The twins give each other a sly grin, leave Eda knocked out on the couch, and run inside. Before Luz knows what’s happening, Emira is picking her up while Edric grabs Amity and gives her a noogie. “Happy birthday baby sisters,” Emira croons, while the girls struggle to get free. “Yeah,” Edric says, messing up Amity’s hair. “Thanks for being born in the same month so we don’t have to go to two parties.”

Luz laughs, a little embarrassed at being called the twins’ baby sister. “Thanks, guys,” she says, breaking free of Emira’s hold. She manages to rescue Amity from Edric’s arms, and the two of them sprint away before they can be grabbed again, the twins’ laughter following them all the way to the door.

“Sorry about that,” Amity says, rolling her eyes. “You know how they are.”

“Uh huh,” Luz gulps, distracted by the way Amity’s hair is curling a little over her ears. “I know how it is.”

Luckily, Willow and Gus choose that moment to walk inside, and Luz has an ample distraction. “My friends!” She yells, draping her arms around their necks. “Welcome! Also!” She lowers her voice. “Did you know that I love you?”

Willow laughs. “We know that, Luz. Wanna know a secret?” She winks. “We love you, too.”

“Happy birthday,” Gus adds, hugging Luz, and then Amity. “You’re super old now.”

“I know!” Luz says. “I’m finally at the age that Taylor Swift always prophesied about!”

Gus nods wisely. “I know about Taylor Swift. She’s a powerful warlock from your realm, is she not?”

“She is,” Luz agrees.

“Happy birthday, Amity.” Willow hesitates, and then opens her arms. Amity’s face breaks into a huge smile as she accepts Willow’s hug. “Thanks,” she says. “I’m glad you’re here.”

“Me too.”

Luz is trying not to get emotional, but having so much love surrounding her is making her want to cry. Plus, seeing Willow and Amity get along so well makes her feel warm and fuzzy inside.

“Are you okay?” Amity whispers in her ear, and Luz jumps. “Y-yeah, I’m totally fine,” she says, trying to keep her stuttering to a minimum.

“Are you sure? You’ve been acting a little weird for awhile now, and you kind of look like you want to cry.”

Ah, man. Amity wasn’t supposed to notice that she’s been acting differently. But at least this question she has an answer for. “I’m just really happy,” she says truthfully, and Amity smiles. “Me too,” she says. “Happy birthday, Luz.”

As Amity walks away to talk to Willow, Luz tries not to stare after her.

She fails.

Amity looks like a goddess tonight. She always looks good, okay, but something about tonight, under the glow of the fairy lights, surrounded by her friends and family, makes her shine undeniable. Luz cannot comprehend how everyone isn’t staring at Amity right now.

She wants to kiss her, right now, in front of everyone, but she feels like Amity might not appreciate that, and besides, Viney is walking in right now and for some reason Emira just spilled her drink all over the floor, and there are more important things to focus on, right?

(What could be more important than kissing Amity?)

She shakes her head. Not now, Luz. Not now.

Maybe tonight just isn’t the night, either.

She sighs, but then shakes herself out of it. This is a party, and she’s going to enjoy it.

She doesn’t get to hang out with Amity much that night.

Her friends all want her attention, and there’s a worrying moment where Eda starts growing some feathers on her arms, but the crisis is averted quickly. She and King haul Eda safely into her nest, and Luz returns to the party, determined to at least hold Amity’s hand.

But Willow and Gus have started a dance off against Jerbo and Barkus, and there’s no way Luz is going to miss being a part of that. She sneaks a peek at Amity, who is standing off to the side with her drink, looking content. They lock eyes for a second and Luz’s breath is taken away.

This is ridiculous.

They’ve been dating for months. This should not still be happening.

But, god, Amity is just so cool, resting an arm nonchalantly on the table, and Luz wants to run over there and-

“Luz, it’s your turn!!!!!” Gus screams in her ear, and the moment is gone again.

It’s already midnight when she feels a tap on her shoulder. “Amity!” she yells, and tackles her girlfriend into a hug. “I haven’t seen you all night!”

“Woah,” Amity says, trying not to fall over. “I know, that’s why I’m here. Could I borrow you for a second?

Luz’s stomach flips itself over for absolutely no reason.

“Uh, sure, yeah, what’s up?”

“I just wanna show you something.”

Amity grabs her hand and leads her up the stairs, passing door after door until they reach the one that leads to the roof.

“Why are we-”

“Shhh,” Amity says. “Just come on!”

Amity doesn’t let go of her hand when they reach the roof. “Close your eyes,” she instructs.

“Um, Amity,” Luz says. “We’re like, a lot of feet off the ground.”

“Trust me,” Amity insists, and god help her but Luz does, so she complies. Amity’s palm is warm in hers as she tugs her over a few feet until finally, she says “open them”.

“What are we-” Luz falters. Because there, on the roof, is an honest to god picnic. Somehow Amity has hauled up a blanket and a basket, and it’s just so cute and cliche that Luz can’t stop the smile taking over her face.

“I figured we wouldn’t have time to talk tonight,” Amity says. “And...well...I missed you, so-” she gestures to the picnic.

“This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,” Luz says, sitting down on one side of the basket. “I kept wanting to talk to you all night, but there was always something happening!”

“You’re popular,” Amity says simply, and Luz starts laughing before she realizes Amity is being totally serious.

“Anyway,” Amity says. “I made you something.”

Luz is really, really hoping it’s not a fairy pie, but instead, Amity pulls out a messy chocolate cupcake. “Happy birthday,” she says, and Luz practically swoons.

They share the cupcake, digging into it with messy hands and taking turns pointing out different stars.

“In my world, constellations are symbols for things,” Luz says.

“They are here, too! For example, that’s the giraffe constellation. It symbolizes death and destruction. And that over there is the Titan constellation. It also symbolizes death and destruction!”

“Romantic,” Luz jokes.

“I know, right?” Amity responds, sounding completely serious. Luz has to stifle the urge to laugh. She sneaks a peek at Amity and, oh, wow. Her face is glowing in the moonlight. She looks bright and bubbly and all the things she really is when her guard isn’t up. Her eyes are shining and Luz could swear she’s never seen anything more beautiful in her fifteen years of life.

She needs to do this now. There’s no better time, and even if there was, she simply can’t stop herself. The words just fall from her mouth like leaves from a tree, but a lot more quickly and nervously.

“Can I kiss you?”

Amity stops mid-sentence, mouth still hanging open and finger pointing at the sky. She blinks. “What did you say?”

“I-” Luz is losing her nerve really quickly, but before it’s gone completely she gathers up the rest of her courage and says “I really want to kiss you. Can I?”

“You...you want to kiss me?” Amity’s voice is full of wonder and her face is bright red.

“Wait, why do you sound surprised? You’re my girlfriend, of course I want to kiss you!” Luz scrambles onto her knees and searches Amity’s face.

“It’s just...it’s been so long, and it never happened, so I kind of thought maybe you didn’t want to or you were uncomfortable or whatever, which would be totally fine, by the way-”

“Oh my gosh we’re both so stupid,” Luz smacks a hand to her face. “I never kissed you because I thought you didn’t want to kiss me!”

“How could I not want to kiss you! Have you seen yourself????”

Amity’s hands are covering her eyes. She’s clearly embarrassed at having admitted that.

Luz takes a deep breath and gently pries Amity’s hands away from her face. Amity’s eyes instantly find Luz’s, and there’s a determination there that wasn’t there before. They both feel it, this thing happening between them, different from what they’ve been feeling for the past few months. It feels like every moment of their relationship has been leading up to this moment.

“Can I-” Luz starts, but is interrupted by Amity’s very enthusiastic “Yes!!!!”

Luz bites her lip, takes a deep breath, and leans in.

She closes her eyes.

The kiss feels a little like the first time she did magic, but light glyphs have nothing on this. The butterflies in her stomach have migrated to her chest, and they’re fluttering hard enough to rival her heartbeat.

She can’t believe this is happening.

Their noses bump together uncomfortably, but she doesn’t care, she doesn’t care, because this is her first kiss and it’s with Amity and she’s flying flying flying.

They pull apart, but not too far.

“Wow,” Amity whispers, and Luz nods. “Yeah,” she says. “Wow.”

“How have we not been doing that the whole time?”

“I don’t know,” Luz says. “But I’m more than happy to make up for lost time.”

She leans in again.

Eda becomes some kind of flying taxi service

Amity: So I told Malphas he needed to have a talk with Gary about our coffee break space.

Emira: Mhmm.

Amity: I mean, for one, Gary never cleans after himself. Like, I once saw him leaving his mug dirty for over a week. A WEEK. It was disgusting. It was just sitting dare on the table for days. I didn’t want to clean it, I’m not a doormate. But it was dire and I had no choice. And don’t get me started on the fridge situation. My lunch has been getting smaller by the day and I can’t seem to figure out the culprit.

Emira: That’s nice, Mittens. Isn’t it nice, Edric?

Edric: What?

Amity: Will you guys pay attention? I need some advice on...

*Windows cracking”

Edric: What the...

Hooty: AMITY FELICITY BLIGHT! IT IS I, HOOTCIFER, HARBINGER OF THY DESTINY. COME WITH ME AND I SHALL REVEAL WHAT JOYS THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THEE.

Amity: I... What?

Hooty: DOTH THOU DARE DEFY FATE? *Swallows Amity*

Emira: ... What just happened? Wasn’t that Eda’s house demon? You know, the one we met before Grom?

Edric: I think it was. I’m not sure though, he sounded more... ominous...

SEVERAL EMOTIONAL MOMENTS LATER

Luz: It’s early... Do you really have to go already?

Amity: Yeah... I still have to finish homework, and I have work tomorrow. But I’ll come back here tomorrow... If you’re okay with it, that is...

Luz: YES! I mean... yeah, I’d love that...

Amity: Anyway... I guess I should get going, we’re not exactly neighbors after all. See you tomorrow then.

Luz: Wait, I have an idea. *Turns around* EDA!

Eda: *Not stopping her flight practice* What?

Luz: Do you think you could give Amity a lift back to her place?

Eda: Oh? Not walking your girlfriend home? Thought you’d be more chivalrous.

Luz: *Showing that Amity’s tomato like properties are infectious* EDAAA!

Eda: Sorry, sorry. But yeah, sure. *Picks up Amity and flies away at neckbreaking speeds. She soon slows down to a more reasonable pace* So... Amity, before I give you that whole “What are your intentions?” scare there’s something I’ve been itching to ask you. What made you chose to dye your hair of all colors, and how did Odd-alia react?

Amity: Luz... Me... Girlfriend...

Eda: Ugh... Don’t make me regret making harmless fun of young love, kiddo.

ONE AWKWARD TAXI EDA FLYING SESSION LATER.

Eda: *Placing Amity on the Blight Manor’s front porch and looking at the two bewildered faces watching her* Sup. *Turns to fly away* Oh right, I guess purple here is in not in the mental state to give any explanations.

Amity: Small ceremony... Human realm... Only friends and family... Boscha is not invited...

Emira: Are you... Edalyn Clawthorne?

Eda: Last I checked I was.

Emira: You look different.

Eda: Oh right... Look, it was a very eventful night so let me start with the simpler one. King, you remember him, right? Tiny, angry, looks like a cat, was the MC at the last Grom along with Goops.

Emira and Edirc: Yeah...?

Eda: He’s harnessing all the powers of yelling. I guess all children his age kinda do that but he went above and beyond and actually learned how to make things go boom with his voice alone, and that’s why both Luz and your sister are still alive. And now I’m realizing I should probably go hide all those Death Metal records I got in human realm. Can’t risk turning my son into a weapon of mass destruction. Not yet.

Edric: That’s... nice... I guess?

Emira: How about Mittens?

Eda: Right. She and Luz are an item now. It was adorable, I called her Luz’s girlfriend then I think it finally really hit her and that made her go all catatonic on me. Sorry about that.

Edric: WHAT?

Emira: Okay, okay... So came out with it? Ed and I have some scores to settle.

Eda: I... Both, I guess? I don’t know, it was sort of at the same time. But I don’t want to spoil it for when she recovers. So I guess us three are kinda family now, huh? Tangentially at least, like you’re my nephew and niece-in-law or something like that, I don’t know.

Eda: The important thing is: there’s a huge waterway under my house and I think it is actually part of my property. Now I need to figure out a way to find out how big that place actually is without letting town hall know so my taxes won’t go up. Can’t push my tax evasion skills. I mean, can you imagine it? The Owl Lady, the most successful outlaw in Boiling Isles history: arrested for fiscal crimes.

Emira: Okay... That’s... cool.

Edric: Yeah... Not to pry though, but what happened to you?

Eda: Oh... Me? I got very high. Not on purpose. Then I became a Harpy. Also not on purpose.

Emira: ... I’m sorry but I’m not following the cause and effect relation between those thing.

Eda: Neither am I. All I remember is: Hooty spiked some cookies; I revisited that time I gauged out my dad’s eye, also not on purpose; then when I push my ex away (You know, Raine Whispers, current head of the Bard Coven, lead a small revolutionary guerrilla, now under mind control. Oh, yeah, guess they’d make to sure to keep it under wraps, anyway...)

Eda: Then it got pretty weird. I got trapped by this tall hooded sun and moon figure and I’m not sure whether that was an actual memory (I did get arrested a few time after all) or if it was just a hallucinogenics induced manifestation of the subconscious trauma of being persecuted for years by the state. Anyone’s guess to which was it.

Eda: And then I became Icarus, fell into the sea, and became a piece of paper. Then I was at the beach, the piece of paper was also there, but that’s not important... I hope... Anyway, so, my curse was there too an for a moment there I thought we were gonna play some chess, but nah.

Eda: I did have an epiphany though. The sky changed colors and now I’m a Harpy. Gotta a lot of stuff to process right.

Edric: *Wide eyed and mouth agape* Mother of Titan...

Emira: *Same as her brother* Do you... need a hug or something?

Eda: Ehh... Don’t worry, I’ll get through. I mean, I’m a badass Harpy woman now, what else could I want? I appreciate the thought though. Anyway, I’ll get going, Luz has probably been stuck in the same place ever since I left. Was nice seeing you guys. *Turns around*

Edric: WAIT, EDA.

Eda: Yeah? What is it?

Edric: Can you take me flying a little bit like you did Mittens? Pretty please?

Emira: *Elbowing her brother* EDRIC!

Edric: What? There’s a tall and friendly winged lady standing in our front porch and calling us family...

Eda: Kinda family.

Edric: Kinda family. And we only went flying, on dad’s staff mind you, like twice. And I mean, look at her. That’s clearly a person with next to no regard for speed limits or any form of flying safety. *Turns to Eda* I mean that as the highest of compliments, by the way.

Eda: *Nodding and smiling* Well, I’m not one to brag... But you’re on point there.

Edric: *Turning back to Emira* See? It will be fun. *Turns back to Eda while making puppy eyes* So, pretty pretty please?

Eda: Eh... What the heck, why not? I do need to get a better hold of this flying thing after all. Fair warning though, I only had these for about an hour, I’m not taking responsibility for any loss of limb or life. *Picks Edric up and place him on one of her shoulders and turns to Emira.* You sure you don’t wanna come with? There’s plenty of room.

Emira: ... I never said I didn’t want to...

Eda: *Placing Emira on her other shoulder* Alritty then, make sure to hold on tight to my hair, just don’t fall into it. Can’t promise I’ll find you if you do. And up we go. *Takes off at neckbreaking speed*

Eda: So... I tried that to Mittens herself, but she was too lost in elation to form coherent sentences. What’s the deal with her hair color change? Why did she pick that specific shade of... pink? Lavender? Purple? Whatever, I was a tad curious about that choice coming from one of Odd-alia’s offspring. So either of you can shed some light on it for me?

Emira: Eh, what can I say? Our little Mittens is growing up, coming out of her shell. I mean, if you told me a month that she’d have a girlfriend by now I’d call it bullshit. Though I would have guessed Luz as being the most likely candidate. In any case, I’m pretty proud of the steps our baby sister is taking, not gonna lie.

Edric: Yeah... Same. But I can’t shake the feeling that it is at least in part an act of rebellion against mom. She did always have that weird fixation with Amity’s hair after all...

Eda: Hum, I see. This actually takes me to my follow up question. How did your mom react when she saw it?

Edric: *chuckling* Oh, I thought she’d have a stroke right then and there.

Emira: Yup. Never saw mom that mad. You’d think the two of us would be the ones to cause it but nope, Mittens beat us to it. Again, I’m a proud big sister.

Eda: Hehehe Sounds about right. You two are the troublemaking type then huh?

Edric: That’s a way of putting.

Emira: We like thinking of ourselves as practical entertainers however. We are in the Illusions track so it comes with the territory. Buuut...

Edric: We indulge in some prankery every now and then, and there’s no one better at it than us.

Eda: Is that so? Ever get in trouble for it?

Edric: Sometimes... When we (kind of accidentally) cause more property damage than intended because SOMEONE botched their end of the spell and caused Bump’s office to almost go up in flames.

Emira: Awww. Ed, I told you already. Don’t beat yourself over it. Accidents happen. You’ll do better next time.

Edric: HEY!

Emira: Anyway, Eda. Why were you asking about Mittens’ hair?

Eda: Oh... You guys are going to love this. I think. Anyway, did you know that me and your parents attended Hexside at the same time?

Edric: Yeah, I remember mom seeing one of your wanted posters a while back and calling you “Ewdalyn Clownthorne” or something like that.

Eda: Ah, haven’t heard that in a minute, Titan those were the day. Anyway, as you might have guessed by now me and your mother we... had a bit of a rivalry. Unfortunately, I couldn’t top the nickname she gave me, best I could do was Odd-alia. No offense, but Blight doesn’t give much to work with in terms of puns, can’t get funnier than that. Especially when thrown at her.

Emira: None taken. And yeah. I mean, it is fun when people call us stuff like “The Blights of Hexside”. But it is kinda sad to know we’ll never get a nickname as cool as Owl Lady or Lord Calamity.

Eda: Oh, my fame still precedes me huh? You know, I think the three of us will get along just fine.

Edric and Emira: Yup, we sure will.

Eda: Anyway, flattery aside... Part of the reason why I love poking your mom with a short stick was, other than how aggravated she’d get and how surprisingly good at paying in kind she was, the fact that she was in the Oracle track. You see, that made her a challenge. And given how she would actually prank me back (successfully, mind you, I have no shame in admitting that) I feel like like we actually a weird sort of friends, or at least we reached some kind of agreement that we were fair game for each other. And trust me, she was ruthless, and very good at escalating things.

Emira: Wow...

Edric: That sounds nothing like the mom we know. Other than the ruthless or the escalation part, that is still true.

Eda: Yeah, anyway. Part of our little game was keeping it hidden. Neither your dad or my sister actually ever realized what was going on until... well, I’ll get to that.

Eda: Anyway, so some lovely day I notice how weirdly obsessed with her hair Odd-alia was. This gives me some ideas, but I know I have make this the mother of pranks, so I decided to just keep a watch, to figure out what the best way to go about it would be. And I was also making those smaller pranks, something to throw her Oracle powers off-balance, you know?

Eda: Well... Back in the day your mother wasn’t monochromatic as she is nowadays. She’d circle through all colors you can think off on her accessories (which she used an ungodly amount, and no judgement it just never seems physically possible). But I noticed that there was one very specific color that she never got anywhere near her.

Edric and Emira: No way...

Eda: And as I said, she was weirdly obsessed with her hair... And as top student of the Potions track making hair dye was child’s play for me... So... do the math... And guess what very specific color was? I may be bad at color names, but I won’t ever, EVER, forget that particular shade.

Edric and Emira: No... freaking... way...

Eda: Yes... freaking... way... I mean, seriously, the first time I saw Amity’s new hair I had to do a double take. The resemblance was just too uncanny.

Emira: And what did she do?

Eda: Well... For a couple weeks there I thought I’d have to place a restriction order on her or something like that. Ultimately the two of us, along with Lilith and Alador (they were our attorneys, no they were not qualified for the role.) sitting across from each other in a very formal looking table, signing a contract. An actual freaking contract setting clear limits to our mutual pranks, like what was off limits like her hair or my then partner, how long was the maximum period a prank could last, so on. Surprisingly enough that was Al’s idea.

Eda: And let me tell you, that was probably the toughest negotiation I ever been a part of. Shame it was not long before I dropped out so never could really put it to use. You know, sometime I think this actually made Odd-alia realize she wanted to be a business woman. I mean, before that she’d go off about how she’d join the Emperor’s Coven all the damn time.

Edric: Wow...

Emira: I second that. Really, wish I had brought something I could take notes on. You completely blown anything we ever did out of the water.

Edric: No wonder she never told us that. You know what? I think I’m dying my hair that color first thing tomorrow.

Emira: Can we tell Amity this story?

Eda: Are you two actually thinking of antagonizing her? Are you crazy? First off, she’s your mother, she holds power over you. All you’d accomplish is getting grounded. Not to mention that she has decades of experience on you, even if she wasn’t your mom, she’d demolish the two of you. No offense, you’re still young, naive, you lack guidance in the ways of the pranksters.

Edric and Emira: *Dejectedly* Ohh... You’re right...

Eda: Hey... Don’t look so gloomy. I see a lot of potential in you, in both of you. *Sighs* I can’t believe I’m gonna take more kids under my wing... But.... Have you guys ever heard of the Bad Girl Coven Initiative? We annoy our foes into submission.

Edric and Emira: WE’RE LISTENING.

Eda: Heh... We’ll get along just fine indeed.

The Owl House, Ep16

Well, Amity definitely has softened up, hasn’t she? It’s nice to see... what would be even nicer is if we got to see what’s on that lil pink note. She seemed rather panicky... what are the bets that it’s a love letter to Luz? She’s been getting real blushy and flustered as of late so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Okay... yeah. Sure. Let a giant ass monster live under your school and have a student fight it while your other students party. GREAT IDEA! Especially when said monster is basically Penny-fucking-wise!

Damn, Eda looking sharp in a suit, huh? We stan those GNC vibes, y’all.

“I’m a bad boy.” Nice. Very nice, Luz. Fuck gender norms.

Luz: knocks Amity into the gunky mud before helping her up.

Also Luz: sits down in the mud to be a supportive darling.

Oh Luz. She just wants to be Amity’s knight in shining armour so badly. It’s very sweet.

Aw. Baby’s having mama issues. I feel bad for her- Hooty! Luz is having a moment! Cod you please knock!

“If that bird tube talks to me again, I will destroy it.” Amity is a mood.

Oh... Amity wasn’t joking. She’s actually going to kill Hooty as Luz panics in the background.

“What’s the point of watching a kid get eaten if it’s MY kid.” Eda. Your mum mode is showing.

Can I just say how much I love how casual this show is about gay couples and crushes? Amity crushing on Luz? Normal. Luz crushing on all the Blight siblings? Normal. The two background gays dancing together all cute and shy and nervous? Normal. We need more media like this!

“Mama’s fun night out.” *snort* Eda has completely and utterly adopted this kid at this point. This is HER kid and I don’t think you can tell her differently 😂

*squealing* look at these babies! Look. At. These. Babies! They’re so adorable!

Pfft. “You’re not coming from a place of intellectual honesty so debating you would be pointless.” The kid ain’t wrong 😂

LUZ’S BIGGEST FEAR IS HER MUM! Oh ye Gods. That hurts. That really hurts!

“Stay away from her!” If I had a dollar for every time a teenager ran in to save their potential love interest from their worst nightmare, putting themselves in harms way in the process... I’d have exactly two dollars. But it’s still weird that it’s happened twice!

Oh. Oh, Amity, honey, no! The pain on her face just broke my heart! This poor baby was so scared of... was that... Luz? The hairstyle kind of looked like Luz’s but I can be certain. Also... Luz? I KNOW you did not just friendzone yourself! With a forced lil smile too! Gah! These kids! Such baby disasters!

Yooo! They did! The creators really had these two queer teenager girls dance together in a way that was very romantically charged! To fight a monster together! On mother fucking Disney?! This is huge!

“Who did you wanna ask out?” “It’s not important.” *note says Luz* *cue excited Defence squeals* and they went even further! They didn’t leave it up for interpretation! There’s no maybes! Amity Blight has a crush on Luz! This is huge, my dude! I’m so happy right now!

Oh hey. Another brooding sit by the window moment. That’s really gonna be trend now, huh? I mean... it’s a good trend so why not?

Aw. Typical mum moment. Calling texts “letters.” That’s adorable.

IT WASN’T A MUM MOMENT. SOMEBODY IS SENDING LETTERS TO LUZ’S MOTHER! But they didn’t seem to know how to spell her name. What the fuck is going on?

Aww... I love how Luz drags her important people into the photo and just full on pulls Amity into a tight hug as she just stares, all blushy and flustered. That’s so cute!

Oh god. My queer lil heart is so full right now. Do you have any idea how much I wish I could have seen queer rep like this as kid? Not done as a joke or a flaw. Not done as some grand and dramatic reveal. Just normal and healthy and sweet and okay! Because that’s what it is! And it’s about damn time we started showing that to kids.

For people my age... we may have not gotten that rep. But today’s kids are and that makes me so happy for them. Bumbleby, Bubbline, Catradora and now... what’s Luz and Amity’s ship name? I’ve seen Lumity thrown about. But that’s awesome and I hope to see more kids shows just normalising this sort of thing.

I’m very happy.

Alright. Now that I’ve had some time to sleep and think on it, let’s talk about that finale.

I really liked it. Of course we the fandom hyped certain aspects up and that’s just generally what happens. The pacing was a little quick in places but I’m satisfied. We already know that we have a season two.

Wanna start with that backstory. They were such precious babies. I also love Teen Eda’s voice. Who voiced her because it was a good match for Wendie (watch it be Wendie with voice modulation). That first transformation was also traumatizing.

Which, can we talk about how good of a sibling Eda is. Like, yeah, she teases Lily and ribs her a bit but she’s always cared and always had her back. She gave up her slot in the EC for her, because she knew it was Lily’s dream.

I’m still so conflicted about Lilith. It feels so quick. But I’m also aware that all of next season will be her making up for all the crap she pulled (cursing her sister for no reason (a mistake but a very unnecessary one), constantly looking down on her sister’s way of life, making fun of her curse - that she caused by the way! - using Luz as a hostage, calling Luz a pet, attempting to kill Luz, making Eda succumb to her curse etc). My hope is held by the fact that Eda and Luz both teamed up with her for convenience and Lilith has started to take accountability.

Luz this episode was so good. Like yeah she managed to hold her own but also just getting to see her so upset and angry and vengeful. That’s usually something they tend to avoid with Luz’s character type. But you know what they say, the kind ones have the most righteous of fury.

Her and Eda’s moments this episode. Dude when I say I cried. I. Love. The. Found. Family. Trope. And I love this Owl Mom and her Owlet. “I love you too, kiddo.” Like frick me. And Eda finally returned the hug!

The Emperor. Again, he’s about what I expected, however his presentation and voice are stellar. Wonder what he wants with the portal and the human world if not to invade it.

Willow and Gus. Precious beans. Best friends. Love them. So proud.

Amity had five seconds of screen time and no lines. Minus ten points.

Luz is stuck in the Boiling Isles.

Was that the Blight Parents? They look oh so snobby.

Who is the Masked Individual? This Gwen character I’ve heard about maybe?

All in all, very excited for next season. So many questions.

LUZ APPRECIATION WEEK DAY 3 (Something Adorable)

Alright so this one came a little late. @zarieslayer helped me a lot with this fic. Like y'all don't understand how much of a blessing she was for me. (Ilysm Zarie! Thank you for helping me!) Anways, y'all are gonna have to bear with me because fluff is not one of my strong suits and this is my first time doing a prompt like this. So here is the sequel to day two and I present to you, my word vomit of fluff.

“Oh, no.” Luz let out a squeak of a gasp and leaned into her mentor’s shoulder who had yet to put her down. “Nononononononono, Eda!” The girl's breathing was beginning to get too fast for comfort.

“It’s going to be okay, kid, alright? I promise ya, we’re going to fix this, okay?” Eda reassured as she brought her free hand to gently rake at her student’s scalp in an effort to calm her down. Luz, in response, had nustled her head into the crook of Eda’s neck.

“Okay,” the girl mumbled in agreement as her tiny arms circled around Eda’s neck and the witch froze. At least Luz's breathing had gone back to normal.

“Wow,” King stared at the sight of a small Luz clinging onto Eda like her life depended on it. “Is it just me or is she a lot clingier than normal?”

“I just wanna give hugs,” Luz huffed and her higher voice made her pout mirror that of a disappointed child. “No one, besides my mom, really liked me giving them hugs when I was seven....eight?” The girl moved her head from Eda to glance over her smaller frame. “Seven.”

“Seven,” Lilith deadpanned and Luz had nearly forgotten she was there. “You’re telling us that right now you are in the form of yourself when you were seven.”

“I think so,” Luz placed her head in it’s previous spot. “I have a fresh scar I got when one of my classmates had pushed me into a tree because I couldn’t stop talking.”

“If I ever see that kid, I’m feeding them to Hooty,” Eda growled and if Luz felt her mentor’s hold tighten slightly, she said nothing. It never failed to amaze her of how much the witch cared for her, considering they’ve only known each other for a little over a month.

“So question,” King drew the attention back to him and Luz shifted herself slightly so she could glance at her fluffy friend. “How are we fixing Luz?”

“Umm,” Eda glanced down at the literal child in her arms and sighed. “Kid, I need you to hang out in the living room while Lily and I try and fix this mess.”

“No!” Luz protested as if the thought of being separated from Eda physically pained her. She tightened her grip and Eda had to question if Luz had always been this strong.

Of course, it could be that Luz’s naturally clingy nature was to blame, but the wide-eyed look of pure panic said otherwise. Luz had gone through a transformation that her body wasn’t prepared for and was racing to play catch up. Sure, her mind was the one of fourteen-year-old Luz, but not her body. To say she was terrified was an understatement.

“Kid, I promised you I was going to fix this, but I can’t do that if you’re latched onto me like this.” Eda had resumed her previous motion of stroking Luz’s hair and the girl sighed in agreement.

“Fine,” Luz mumbled out.

“Alright, since I don’t trust you to be by yourself in a house full of things that could potentially kill you at your size...” Eda looked at King and the two shared a silent agreement. “King is going to watch over you.”

“Yes!” The demon cheered as he pointed at his now slightly taller companion, “Another chance to teach her about demons!”

“Just don’t break anything or kill her, ya hear?” Eda asked as she put Luz back on the floor.

“We survived the Bat Queen’s babies, and it’s Luz.” King huffed as the girl patted his head, “I’ll survive.”

“To the living room!” Luz declared as she took off running, “I’m totally going to beat you, King.”

“Weh?!” The demon exclaimed before following. “Come back here! If anyone is winning anything it’s me!”

“Are you sure leaving the two of them alone is a good idea?” Lilith asked as a crash sounded from the other room and Luz’s laughter directly followed.

“Nope.” Eda sighed as she rubbed her temples, “Just help me fix this before she hurts herself.”

////

In King’s defense, it was Luz’s fault. He was attempting to give her another history lesson, but she decided the best way to tell him to shut up was to throw a pillow at him. Where she got it was beyond his understanding, but all that mattered was that his friend had insulted his honor and of course, he had to defend it.

“Face the wrath of the Demon King!” The demon shouted as he launched himself off the couch and tackled the girl to the floor before mercilessly whacking her with the pillow she had thrown at him.

“K-King, stop!” The girl giggled, “I’m sorry!”

“That’s what I thought,” King huffed as she hopped off the girl and turned to drop the pillow on the couch only for something to hit him in the back of his head.

“I challenge you to a duel!” Luz cackled as she held...another pillow? Where was she getting these things?

“I accept your challenge,” King narrowed his eyes and squealed when Luz swung her pillow and King hopped onto the couch. “Cheater!” He shouted as he jumped onto the armrest.

“Nope!” Luz giggled as she attempted to attack once again. “You’re just bad at this.”

“You take that back!” The demon let out an offended gasp and he swung his pillow at the girl, to which she blocked with her pillow.

The two continued their epic battle with feathers flying, a few objects getting knocked over, screams that could rival Hooty, and multiple face shots, but it was all in the name of fun...well at least it was until Eda’s wanted poster was knocked from its place on the wall.

“I won’t tell Eda if you won’t,” Luz giggled in between heavy breaths.

“Sounds good to me,” King nodded his head as he plopped onto the floor and curled up into a ball. Who knew a small Luz could cause so much destruction?

“Yay,” The girl sighed in relief and took note of her fluffy friend on the floor.

“Luz?” The demon cracked an eye open when he felt a soft weight on his small form. “What are you doing?”

“You’re warm.” Luz mumbled as she herself curled into her own ball. “And fluffy.”

“No.” King perked his head up to get a full glimpse of the girl laying her head on him. “The King of Demons is no one’s pillow!” He sighed and plopped his head down once he noticed Luz showed no signs of moving.

Of course, he could simply crawl out and leave her on the floor, but that would result in making her sad. He hated seeing her sad. That specific moment of Luz’s breakdown when she came home without Eda was an image he could never shake from his mind. He’d do anything and everything in his power to keep her happy...even if that meant being used as a pillow.

“I leave you two alone for an hour,” he heard Eda scoff from the doorway.

“Hi, Eda!” Luz waved but didn’t move from her spot.

“Looks like I’m not the only one who has gone soft around here,” the witch snickered.

“She’s comfy.” The demon argued as he huffed, “My services were required.”

“Hm, did those services include trashing the living room?” The witch smirked as she surveyed the damage. That smirk fell when she noticed a blank space on the wall behind the couch. “What happened to my wanted poster?”

“Wanted poster?” Luz questioned and King winced. Oh right, that.

“You two knocked it off the wall?” Eda growled before rubbing her temples.

“Not on purpose!” Luz protested as she attempted to make herself as small as possible.

“It was in the line of fire!” King nodded his head in agreement and the witch sighed.

“After we fix the kid, you two are cleaning this up and Luz, you’re grounded for a week,” Eda rubbed her temples. “We clear on that?”

“But Eda,” Luz protested as she sat up, “it was-”

“Are we clear on that?” The witch repeated with no room left for argument.

“Yes, Mom,” Luz groaned and flopped back down onto the demon.

Eda and King shared a wide eyed look of pure surprise as a crash came from the kitchen which meant Lilith had probably heard the interaction. Luz, still blissfully unaware of the words that had left her mouth, was currently on her side and running a hand through King’s fur with a content sigh. If not for the whole outlaw thing looming over her head, she would most definitely be reaching for the adoption papers and slamming them down in front of the girl.

“Not a word,” Eda mouthed to the gobsmacked demon whose tail was wagging with excitement.

“Suuree,” King responded with a large smile.

“Edalyn!” Lilith shouted from the kitchen and the witch in question had never been so grateful for her sister’s presence in the house.

“Hey Lily, I need you for a second!” Eda shouted as she took off running to the kitchen and she ignored the knowing smirk King was burning into the back of her head.

///

“You want me to what?” Lilith blinked in surprise as she looked from the small form of Luz in her arms to her sister.

“Because I can’t trust King and Luz alone, the living room is proof of that, I need you to watch her,” Eda narrowed her eyes as if daring her sister to protest.

“Edalyn,” Lilith inhaled sharply, “I am in no way qualified to-”

“Look,” Eda sighed as gestured to her student and Lilith, “I am well aware of the history between the two of you. I hate this as much as you do but you don’t remember how to make this potion let alone reverse it and I can’t watch my kid, so please, for the love of Titan, keep her alive for another two hours. That is all I ask.”

“Fine.”

"What?" Luz questioned before groaning. Lilith was not a fun person to hang out with.

“Hu-Luz,” Lilith winced as if this simple request was the hardest thing she's ever done in her life. “Let’s leave Edalyn to her work."

"You know, you can put me down."

"Apologies, I'm not that good with children."

"I noticed."

///

“NO!” Lilith shouted as she chased after Luz who was now running down the hallway and rushing to the staircase all while laughing like a physcopath. “HUMAN, PUT THAT DOWN OR SO HELP ME, TITAN!”

“Too slow, Lilith!” Luz cackled as she almost literally flew down the stairs.

“Luz?” Eda poked her head out of the kitchen, “What do you have?”

“A sword!” The girl responded before sprinting down the hallway and into the messy living room.

“NO!” Lilith shrieked and Eda blinked in surprise as she saw her sister run past her.

“YOU GAVE HER A SWORD?!” Eda’s frantic voice followed them into the living room.

“I stole it from her!” Luz shouted back and before she could reach the door, she felt something push her from behind and she stumbled forward. However, her fall was cushioned by the surprising reflex of the witch in pursuit of her.

Lilith, with a speed no one knew she possessed, had more or less tackled the girl from behind, but instead of having Luz face plant onto the floor, she had used their momentum to carry them forward and roll so the girl would not end up with a scratch.

“Got you!” Lilith cheered as she moved the stay strands of her dark hair back into their spot. The witch was breathing heavily and the child in her arms was laughing like a maniac in between her tired breaths.

“Not fair!” Luz giggled as she attempted to squirm out of the witch’s grip.

“You were the one who snuck into the closet and grabbed the sword," the witch scoffed in amusement.

"I didn't expect you to chase after me!" Luz exclaimed as Lilith sat her down on the floor.

"In my defense, if you had gotten hurt, Edalyn would've killed me," the witch waved a dismissive hand as she moved to stand up from the floor.

"Can we do it again?" The girl asked and Lilith was staring at the biggest pleading eyes that could rival those of her younger sister.

"What?" Luz wanted her to chase her?

"It was actually kinda fun," the girl explained and knew damn well she was close to breaking Lilith's defenses.

"...sure…" Lilith answered slowly, still slightly surprised but recovered quickly to add a single condition. "But no sword."

"Yes!" Luz smiled brightly and Lilith swore the child staring back at her was smirking.

She would rather be petrified before admitting it, but the girl was quite charming. No wonder why Eda had taken to her so quickly. There was a certain light that seemed to brighten the lives of those around her.

///

"You know, I'm kinda sad to see small Luz go," King huffed as he picked up a book from the floor.

"We did her a favor," Lilith responded as she swept the floor of the living room. "No one wants to go through puberty twice."

"True that," Eda huffed as she examined the non-existent damage to her wanted poster that had yet to be put back in its spot.

"You know, Edalyn, as cute as it was to see Luz clinging to you," Lilith smiled innocently, "I still can't believe she called you Mom." The pillow thrown at her head was worth it.

"Not a word of that," Eda hissed but the redness in the witch's ears made her seem less threatening. "Besides, I'm not the one she used as a pillow."

"Excuse you," King huffed, "I was an amazing pillow." The demon pointed a paw in the direction of Lilith. "At least we know the wicked witch has a heart."

"I haven't a clue what you mean," Lilith huffed as she focused on her dirt pile.

"Are you guys done arguing?" Luz groaned and the attention drifted to the teenager on the couch with an arm draped over her eyes. No one told her transforming back would make her feel like death. There would be a time to be embarrassed later.

"Yeah, kid, just get some rest." Eda chuckled as she bent down to ruffle the girl's hair.

"Does that mean I'm not grounded?" The teen questioned.

"Oh, no, you're grounded."

"Worth a shot."

"Hey, Luz?" King poked her arm, "You feel okay enough to go upstairs?"

"Yeah," the teen responded and she moved to get off the couch. She could totally make it to her room, even if the room was still slightly spinning.

She made it past the couch and closer to the hallway when she tripped on air due to ground swaying beneath her.

"Careful now," Lilith offered her a small smile before letting go and Luz smiled back.

"Thanks," the teen groggily mumbled. She was unaware of her mentor walking up from behind her

"I'll make sure she makes it up the stairs and doesn't pass out in the hallway," Eda huffed fondly and threw an arm around her student.

"Yay…" Luz smiled but exhaustion drowned out the cheer. "I can show you my owl onesie."

"...your what?"

"My owl pajamas."

If Eda picked up her kid and carried her to get her out of the ear shot of Lilith and King's teasing, no one said anything. And if Luz, despite being back to her usual self, had locked her arms around her mentor’s neck before falling asleep...then that was no one’s business besides their own.

I owe the lines "What do you have", "A sword," "No!" and the idea of Luz and King knocking the wanted poster off the wall to @zarieslayer srsly she inspired so much of this fic and I am forever grateful to my keeper of fanfic secrets.

When the Dream ends - Chapter 1

Amity changed in the little bathroom that was attached to the room, before emerging and deadpanning at Luz giggling. “This isn’t funny.” “It’s a little funny!”

---

After the grudgby accident, Luz begins her recovery, Amity gets a bad case of the Gay Panic TM and everyone adjusts to the grueling reality of how badly accidents can actually go.

Read "In Your Dreams" first as Part 1, since this is Part 2!

I decided to cut the short story "In Your Dreams" where I originally intended to and finish it off there, and just put it into a series and put all following headcanons in here! This story is also rated mature because I will write flashbacks of the accident, so I'll eventually even change it to explicit. But yeah! Have fun reading!

Ao3 / FF.net

---

The next day, Amity and Luz only woke up late.

But Amity wouldn’t care. She only snuggled closer to the other girl and felt Luz nuzzling her nose into her hair, smiling. She didn’t know if humans usually kept friendships as physically close, but she didn’t mind as well. After all, she was just glad that she could snuggle with Luz that way. It felt so different than when the twins messed with her or took her into hugs.

Snuggling.

She had never done that yet, honestly. She had never snuggled like that. This was completely new for her, especially for a few hours. The longest she had touched someone was for a few minutes, maybe ten at most. She didn’t even think she had touched anyone for that long when she had been a baby witchling.

Luz slowly moved around a little, then she looked up to her friend and smiled when their eyes met.

“Hey, slept well?”

“Better than ever.”, Amity admitted before sitting up and stretching, earning a jealous gaze from Luz. She had been told not to move too much yet, so she had to stay put and wasn’t allowed to stretch. Amity gave her a sympathetic glance but Luz quickly brightened up again. And lifted her hand.

“Poke!”, she exclaimed and bopped Amity’s exposed tummy with her finger, causing the young witchling to immediately turn bright red again and topple backward and off the bed, yelping loudly before a loud thud sounded.

Luz winced and rolled over to look where Amity had fallen, meeting the witch’s tomato face and her arms frozen all over the place when she furrowed her eyebrows.

“… Sorry… I didn’t think you’d react so extremely. Are you okay?”

“Yep!”, Amity responded a little too loudly, laughing nervously, “I’m alright, everything is okay!”

Luz smiled as Amity got back up, but when the witchling’s gaze fell back on the clock she yelped again.

“My parents are going to kill me! I can’t even go to school late now, I’m in my pajamas!! What do I do?!”

Luz, still lying on the bed, groaned when she rolled back over and looked up to the panicking girl, grimacing.

“You could text Eda and ask her to sneak you into the manor?”

Amity switched from panic to planning and nodded, “Right, right. I can do that.”

“Or you could just skip.”, Luz grinned, then Amity looked up at her.

“But I never skip.”, the girl furrowed her eyebrows and summoned her scroll phone, huffing, “And Boscha is returning today, I wanna talk to her.”

“Okay, yeah, that’s valid.”, Luz began and tried to sit up but quickly, a short pain rippled through her back and she fell back into the sheets with a grimace, causing Amity to look up and make the scroll phone vanish with a poof.

“Luz! Are you okay? Eda told me not to let you get up!”, she quickly exclaimed and rushed to her friend’s side, putting a hand on Luz’s shoulder to keep her down, “Are you insane?! The healers said your spine was severely injured and you try to sit up?!”

Maybe her tone was a little too harsh, or the pain overwhelmed Luz, but Amity stopped immediately when tears appeared in the Latina’s eyes. She hesitated.

Oh no.

“Luz, I didn’t mean-…”, she started, but her friend shook her head, effectively cutting her off, “I-I’m sorry…”

The teenager took some time to breathe again, then she placed a soft hand on hers that Amity still kept on her shoulder, not wanting her to move again.

“I-It’s fine-… Just let me breathe for a moment…”, she finally winced and kept her eyes closed, her breath coming in pants, “D-Don’t be sorry. I’ll be okay.”

She slowly calmed down again, then she sighed. Amity knew immediately that school was off for her today. Luz was in pain and needed her, and she wouldn’t just go.

With one hand she summoned her scroll phone again and texted Boscha to let her know that Luz was awake and would be okay with her visiting, and Willow and Gus to invite them over for the afternoon. Eda was probably already on her way.

“Just keep it down for now, Luz. It’ll get better again. You just need some time.”

The girl slowly felt the pain subsiding and nodded once more, then Amity focused back on her phone to ask the twins to send her some clothes, and sure enough, their skills in Illusions were unparalleled. A few clothes were immediately delivered to her by an illusion of a delivery boy by Emira, who had snuck into the manor, grabbed some of her clothes, and ran to the Healer’s Coven unseen by her parents.

Amity changed in the little bathroom that was attached to the room, before emerging and deadpanning at Luz giggling.

“This isn’t funny.”

“It’s a little funny!”

The witchling rolled her eyes when she sat back down on the chair next to Luz’s bed, trying to slump so Luz wouldn’t be able to mock her but the girl gestured for her to straighten up again, “No, no, lemme see!”

She should’ve never trusted Ed and Em with getting her new clothes. Of course, they’d pick the most embarrassing stuff they could find. In this case, it was an old hoodie Ed had given her as a present for her 12th birthday. At least they had picked some normal orchid leggings.

Amity groaned when she straightened up again and pulled the hoodie so that Luz could read what was on there. Ed had gone all the way to make a print of a very badly drawn Amity holding a peace sign.

“Simply be witchling?!”, Luz giggled and Amity couldn’t deny the tiny blush she felt when she looked away and pursed her lips, “Whose idea was that? That is horrible!”

Groaning, she slumped again and rolled her eyes.

“Ed’s. He’s been bugging me to wear that hoodie for almost 3 years now.”, Luz still grinned, making Amity’s face go completely red, “Another word and I’ll leave right now!”

Luz didn’t need any words, though, making the girl squirm and sigh exasperatedly, crossing her arms.

“Stop. Don’t do that.”

“Don’t do what?”, Luz smirked at her, the grin still not having left her face. She couldn’t deny Luz being extra adorable right now.

“Don’t stare at my hoodie. You’re just being mean right now.”

Before Luz could say something soothing, though, Eda barged in and the playful banter was forgotten.

“Hey, kid! I’m glad you’re feeling better!”

King hurried after Eda and jumped on Luz’s bed, before curling in on Luz’s stomach.

“I didn’t worry about you at all.”, he stated and Luz laughed, ruffling his fur.

“Of course not, King.”

It wasn’t long until Willow and Gus came to visit as well, telling them that Boscha had looked a little tired in school but was okay otherwise. She just didn’t want to visit yet. They assured Luz, though, that Boscha was going to be fine and that she just didn’t want to rush things.

After all, she had taken it pretty bad that she had hurt Luz that way.

After Willow and Gus had left, Amity was just finishing up her homework that Willow and Gus had picked up from a classmate, and Eda and King packed their things up as well.

Luz’s eyes went wide at that, and she almost sat up again but remembered the pain before, so she stayed put.

“Eda, are you going back to the Owl House?”

Her mentor grimaced at that and shrugged, nodding.

“I wanna sleep in my nest, kid. I’ve been here for the last few days, I really need my house back now, especially since you’re awake and okay again.”

The human pouted at that and shook her head, “But Eda, I don’t wanna be alone tonight!”

The older witch deadpanned at that, but the two teenagers could see she was struggling to leave her apprentice alone.

“Kid, you’ll be fine for the night, I’m sure.”, Eda began, then a sinister look snuck into her eyes, “You could ask the Blight kid to stay.”

In an instant, Amity blushed hard again.

“I-I already stayed a night! My parents will kill me anyway, for skipping school! I shouldn’t, really.”

Luz’s puppy eyes weren’t enough to make her reconsider, her parents’ wrath was scarier than Luz was cute. In fact, she should call the twins right now to be picked up.

While Eda and Luz continued discussing, she summoned her scroll phone and called Edric’s phone. Shortly after, her brother picked up.

“Hi, Edric. Could you come to pick me up at the Healer’s Coven? It’s already after dark…”

Her brother lightly chuckled at that, then he seemed to whisper something with Emira, before answering.

“What do you mean, Mittens? You’re already home.”

“Hah hah, very funny.”, Amity rolled her eyes at her sibling’s antics, “Come pick me up now, mother and father will be furious enough that I skipped school today.”

Again, her brother’s voice seemed too innocent for her liking when he replied.

“But you went to school today, Mittens, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

This was getting on her nerves.

“Edric, I’m serious, you doofus. Hand the phone to Em.”

He did as she had instructed him to, but Emira sounded just like their brother, making Amity’s anger boil.

“Hey Mittens, I’d say a thank you would be fitting now, don’t you think?”

“Don’t play dumb with me. What did you two do?”, Emira and Edric chuckled again in the background and Amity growled.

“We only saved your nerd butt, little sister! Thank us tomorrow when you’re done flirting with Luz. Oh, and greet that cutie from us! We’re very glad she’s okay.”

Suddenly, she understood her siblings’ smugness. Oh no, that’d be expensive for her.

“… What do you want for the Illusion spell?”

Again, the twins laughed at each other, as if they had a sinister plan. In fact, they sounded exactly like Eda had looked.

“For you to become cool and bring home a girlfriend. And now be a dear and go to bed, like your Illusion just did.”

A click later, Amity almost felt like fainting from all the blood shooting into her face. These smug demons. She turned back to Eda and Luz who were still arguing about whether to leave King here or not when they noticed her having stopped calling. For some reason, Eda smirked.

“My siblings are little snakes and make me stay here.”

“How come?”, Luz asked, looking surprised. She was so sweet and naïve, Amity almost had to sigh.

“They created an Illusion of me so mother and father wouldn’t find out about me sneaking out last night. They kept it up the whole day and it’s in my bed right now.”

Eda chuckled.

“Your siblings are geniuses. I would’ve liked to be able to do that in school.”, she finally admitted and Amity only blushed in a deeper shade of red, while Luz lightened up.

“That means you can stay the whole night?”, she already smiled and Amity just couldn’t stay mad at her siblings. She knew they were just helping in their own, smug way.

“Yea, I suppose it means exactly that.”, she exchanged a small smile with Luz. This was going to be fine, right? She would be fine. She had done one night already! She could do a second!

Eda put all the stuff she had needed to stay here for an extended time in a bag and swung it on Owlbert who was ready in the air.

“Well then, you kids stay out of trouble. Don’t have any fun without me. And you-”, she glared at Luz, “Stay in bed.”

Both of them nodded and waited until Eda had finally wrestled King onto her staff and flown away, then Amity turned back to Luz who was already grinning in excitement.

“Azura Book Club?”, she asked and Amity had to smile at that.

“I forgot Book 5 here when I visited yesterday, we can read that!”

Luz pumped a fist in the air but immediately yelped and let it sink slowly again, causing Amity to drop her small bag that she had originally packed to be picked up, and rush to her side.

“Are you okay?”, she asked, her eyes filling with worry, “Luz, you gotta mind how you move, we want you to get better…”

The Latina nodded slowly, then she sighed and rubbed her shoulder, before testing her toes again. She could still feel them, it had just been a little scare.

“Yeah, I know… Still, I’d like to sit up.”

Amity deadpanned.

“Did you even listen to what I literally just said?”, she asked exasperatedly, spreading her arms in a gesture as if to ask why. Luz managed a strained smile.

“I’ve been on my back the entire time since I woke up… Amity, I just wanna sit for a moment, otherwise I’ll die here. Can you help me?”

Amity flinched at the phrasing and bit her lip. She didn’t know enough about humans. Did they really die when lying on their bed for too long?

“W-Would you-… Really die?”

Luz rolled her eyes at that but smiled, then she shook her head, not wanting to upset her.

“No, I wouldn’t actually die. It’s just an expression. But I’d still like to sit up. Can you prop up your frame here, like back home?”

Amity nodded and got behind the bed, then she grabbed the lever to unhinge the frame so she could prop it up, but hesitated to pull it.

“Are you sure that you can’t get more hurt through that? Like, 100%, absolutely positively sure?”

Luz nodded and looked at her upside down.

“I am otterly sure.”, then she grinned.

Amity shook her head at that, sighing, “You’re unbelievable. Okay, you stay on the mattress until I propped you up as far as it goes, and then you wait for me to help you sit, okay?”

Luz nodded again, this time staying silent at her words. She seemed to concentrate.

“As soon as you feel pain, let me know.”

With that, Amity pulled the lever to unhinge the bedframe and slowly propped it up before clicking it into place at the highest option, then she secured the lever again and walked to Luz’s side to see the girl leaning against the propped-up mattress with a smile.

“That’s already way better. And technically, I’ll do what Eda said, stay in bed.”

Then she slowly lifted her hands, asking Amity to come closer with grabby hands.

“And now help me up.”

The young witchling sighed, then she let her eyes wander over the human’s face. There were no signs of hidden pain. She didn’t seem to be in pain. Apparently, as far as moving her body carefully was concerned, she was okay. But Amity wasn’t too sure about Luz using her own muscles yet.

On the other hand, she had already rolled over without feeling pain.

“Okay. But we do this slowly and as soon as you feel bad, we stop, you got that?”, Luz still made the grabby hands and Amity sighed then, nodding.

She sat down by Luz’s side to carefully wrap an arm around her waist, careful to squish the mattress and not move Luz’s spine too much, before feeling Luz gingerly wrap her arm around her shoulders and them joining their free hands in front of them. It almost felt like when Luz and she had danced at Grom.

“Okay, slowly, on three. One… Two… Three.”

Amity softly pressed her up with her shoulder, taking care not to move or bend her spine too much and minding her back to stay straight, and she pulled with her hand in Luz’s.

Luz panted and sweat formed on her forehead, but she didn’t make a sound when she sat up and finally let their arms sink, still leaning heavily onto Amity but managing to keep her straight back by herself.

For a moment, Luz looked around, then she turned back to Amity, who only then noticed how close they were to each other. Spluttering, she blushed deeply, before coughing and blinking a little too fast.

“A-Are you in pain?”, she finally managed and Luz made a wavy hand. She didn’t know what that meant.

“A little. But it’s fine! That’s just how it feels like to sit after some time of lying in bed. Wow, I am so glad to be sitting right now, I really need that.”, Luz immediately brabbled and the witchling couldn’t help but smile at that.

“Are you sure you wanna stay like that?”

Luz began sweating. So, she was in more pain than she would’ve liked to admit. Amity frowned and brought her free hand up to Luz’s shoulder to get her attention as Luz rested her head on hers.

“Luz, I really think you should lie down.”, she began but the girl groaned and shook her head.

“Just another moment. I-… I’ve been so sick of not moving, I just wanna-…”, another groan. That was the end of the line for Amity.

“Hold on, I’m helping you back down.”

Luz whined at that but she wouldn’t let her talk her out of this. She had to lie back down since her body wasn’t ready for moving too much yet.

Her face was a little more ashen when she sank into the covers and Amity wanted to pull her arm out but Luz kept her close.

“Just-… Just for right now. Stay. Just for this moment.”, the human panted, the sweat slowly subsiding, leaving her skin cooling out.

“Luz-”

“… Just a moment.”, the girl interrupted her and began breathing slower again, much to Amity’s relief. The color slowly returned to her face and she leaned against her friend, completely exhausted, “I just want this moment.”

Amity sighed and let her head rest against her cheek, then she slowly brushed a moist strand of hair out of her face and kissed her forehead.

In an instant, she froze up, while Luz hummed.

She had not just done that. After watching so many teen romances with Luz, the gesture had stuck with her, but she never thought it’d come to her so naturally. While sitting next to Luz, her arm trapped beneath the girl’s back, half lying, leaning against the mattress, holding her exhausted friend. This had been completely reflexive. Amity slowly pulled back when Luz frowned, huffing.

“Why’d you stop, I liked that-…”, she drawled, more asleep than she was awake by now. Amity, her face now a blaring red, merely gave her a neutral hum and then carefully pulled her arm out to lower the bed back down. By the time Luz was horizontal again, she had regained some of her consciousness to look at Amity.

“Can I get a goodnight kiss like that every night now?”, she asked, her eyes dazed and her words slurring. Amity wordlessly sat down on the chair, opened Azura Book 5, and cleared her throat to begin reading, still shocked from her action and desperately trying to ignore that ever happened but Luz made it clear that she was not interested in making her life easy, “Please?”

Amity concealed another splutter with a cough, then she nodded at her lap, not daring to look up. The book was right in front of her eyes. She could just start reading as she read to the kids, and everything would be forgotten, but once again when she breathed in, Luz picked that exact moment to make her life even harder.

“Thank you…”

Amity finally looked up to meet her gaze and her friend genuinely smiled. The young witchling shyly smiled back before starting to read Chapter 12.

“But the good witch Azura wouldn’t stand down. She had her ally Hecate by her side and she would fight for the good. ‘So be it!’, she called out, ‘If you refuse to leave, we wi-”

“‘If you refuse to leave, we will make you regret that decision!’, and Hecate nodded in agreement.”, Amity rolled her eyes softly, smiling. Luz could recite the book word by word.

“If you want to read?”

But as she had asked that question, Luz had already fallen asleep. Shaking her head, Amity leaned back, adjusted the book, and started anew.

“‘If you refuse to leave, we will make you regret that decision’, and Hecate nodded in agreement. They readied their staffs and-”
