hhmmm how about mafia AU Alessia, Ash and Delphia, for 'Giants kissing tinies on their tummy, its a vulnerable place that protects vital organs— so an abundance of trust would be needed. But goodness, would the gentle contact melt them..' and maybe 'Giants that purr', if that's alright :3

ty so much for the prompt from the list i shared!! This wound up being just what i needed to start getting my brain going again

hope you like a bit of drunk cry baby alessia and trusting humans

tw: drunk giant, mentions of alcohol

Trust and Honesty

“Should I walk you back?” Felix asked. Alessia shook her head, but the stumble that followed likely didn’t make him want to listen.

“M’fine. Take care of the humans. I’ll get home fine,” she said as she pushed him away. Her brother sighed, but did step back from her. She waited for him to leave, but he stared down at her instead.

“Alessia.”

“What?”

“The bag, I need that to take care of the humans.”

“Oh!” Alessia quickly shoved her hands forward, the bag with humans not even in them. She furrowed her brows in confusion. One look around and she found the bag by where she had been sitting, safely hidden from her drunk moves and prying eyes of other giants. With all her focus she lifted the bag and slowly moved it into the open. She let it sit on the table, wincing when she heard a scream from inside.

“Get some sleep, make sure you drink some water. You should have sent one of the signals we would have started to water down your drinks.”

“M’fine. I can drink just as much as you or Rhys!”

Felix laughed, Alessia pouted. One of his hands landed on her head before he grabbed the bag with humans. No noises from inside when he did it. She wanted to be more reassuring to humans. Others said she was more comforting than her brothers, but she didn’t believe them. All night humans called her a monster. Even after she’d slipped them into her hand to drop them in her bag. If she opened it now they’d call her one too.

“Are you sure you don’t want someone to go with you?” Felix asked again. She stepped out from under his hand. “Rhys shouldn’t be far from here. He could drop Ryder off if you just don’t want one of us around.”

“I said,” Alessia glared up at her brother, “it’s fine. Just take the humans to be safe. Where there aren’t any monsters.”

“Alessia-”

She walked off before he could say more. Each step was steady until she walked out the door. Immediately she stumbled and nearly fell to her knees. A part of her knew she should have had someone walk back with her, but she didn’t want that tonight. Just enough that went wrong to make it hard to head back home. She briefly considered going to stay at a different bar for the night.

Alessia jumped when her phone beeped. It took a few tries to pull it free from her pocket, even more to get her password right. A smile slipped onto her face when the screen lit up with the message. A picture from Ash of Delphia climbing up the blanket Alessia left falling off her bed. Another message chime and a picture of Delphia with crossed arms sitting on the ground where the blanket was piled up. A laugh left her as she shoved the phone back in her pocket.

Alessia took a deep breath and started forward. Two humans that trusted her. That were clearly tired of waiting for her to get home. After a few steps she stumbled again, but this time she laughed. She could already picture Del complaining about how late it was. Things had gotten a little out of hand, but it would be fine now. She’d get home and hold the two most amazing humans ever.

Stumble after stumble Alessia got closer to her home. It felt like an eternity before she saw the gate to their property. Another stumble, this time she wound up close to the building next to her. A crack sounded that froze her blood. Slowly she lifted her foot to see a crushed human car. Alessia fell to her knees, picking at the destroyed vehicle.

“Oh no,” she breathed. Tears fell from her eyes as she managed to pry the top of the car off. The relief that entered her body finding it empty was impossible to explain.

It was a rare chance to see the inside of a human car. It looked the same as the ones she’d been in. It was so tiny though. She could hold it, treat it like a toy. Humans would sit inside, drive around, live their lives. Average, normal, part of a daily life…and she broke it. That made a sob slip out of her chest.

Alessia wound up trying to figure out a way to fix it. She tried to pull the car back into shape. The attempt to flatten the tiny roof broke it in half. To fix a door landed with it in her fingers. Everything broke it more. That made Alessia cry more. It lasted until the car was torn apart in front of her. Then she just sat there, crying over the tiny car she broke.

“Alessia?” Rhys’s voice made it worse. “Are you ok?”

She turned back to find her brother walking towards her. Ryder was on his shoulder. That made a new round of sobs start. She was going to make her youngest brother hate her. All because she stumbled and stepped on a car. Rhys started to run once he saw her face.

“What happened? Did you get hurt?”

A shake of her head. Alessia brought her hands up and tried to dry her eyes. Rhys’s hand was on her shoulder after a few seconds. That made her feel even worse. Ryder could definitely see the car now.

“Alessia?” Ryder asked.

“I broke it,” she whispered. She pulled her hands away from her face and stared at the torn apart car. Now Ryder could see her like the other humans.

“Alessia, it’s just a toy we can get another one.” Rhys grabbed her arm and tried to pull her to her feet, but she pulled out of his grip.

“It’s a car Rhys! I broke someone’s car!”

Alessia cried even harder. Rhys sighed, but Ryder started to climb down her. She didn’t want him to see what she did, but it was more terrifying to grab him. She gasped when his weight was gone from her.

“Rhys let me look,” Ryder shouted. She didn’t hear Rhys say anything. Instead he reached down and lifted a part of the roof she’d broken. He dropped Ryder on the hand the roof was in and used his now free hand to grab her own.��

“Alessia feel this. It’s not metal, human cars are made of the same metal as a giant’s car. Let’s get you home and then Ryder and I will come back to clean this up, ok?,” Rhys whispered. 

After a few sniffles she nodded. Rhys pulled her up from the ground. It was a lot harder to stay on her feet this time. After one step Rhys sighed. She sniffled again, now she made him upset. The weight against her was gone, replaced by something hitting her knees. She gasped as he pulled her into his arms. Sometimes it was easy to forget her brothers were strong enough to carry her.

“Put me down,” she whined. It was the first time she saw his eyes, he looked worried. Ryder was sitting on the top of his head staring down at her. Both her brothers gave her firm shakes of no. “I can walk!”

“This is faster,” Rhys said.

There was no option to argue once he started to walk. The best choice was sticking a pout on her face and crossing her arms. She refused to look at him too, but that backfired. She saw the car again and more tears came from her eyes. She didn’t want to go back to the house anymore. It didn’t feel like metal, but she didn’t believe Rhys. He was a good liar, she broke someone’s car.

“Can we not go home?” she whispered. 

“We’re going home, you’re drunk,” Rhys was firm. He didn’t sound like he normally did. He sounded angry. She closed her eyes so she couldn’t see someone angry at her.

It was almost peaceful as Rhys walked in silence. Alessia’s tears slowly dried. She still wanted to argue she could walk, but it was kind of nice to be carried. Nice enough she thought she might even fall asleep.

—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing she knew she was dropped on her bed. Rhys said something she mostly ignored, her pillow smelled like flowers. Her favorite flowers. Ash and Delphia. They didn’t know about the car she broke. They didn’t think she was a monster, she loved them. She heard her door close and thought about trying to sleep.

That thought lasted less than a second. Alessia started to slide off her bed. She didn’t want to be too noisy and wake up her flowers. She didn’t want to lose their scent either. Her knees hit the ground with a thump. Reluctantly, she lifted her head and pushed herself off the soft surface.

She sucked in a breath before looking over to her dresser. Ash and Delphia didn’t come out. Either she was quiet enough or they’d gone to the home outside the main house. She chose to believe she was quiet enough. With that settled Alessia put her hands on the ground. It was obvious to her that crawling would be quieter than walking.

Alessia kept her head down while she crawled. A close eye on where each hand was placed. No human should be on the ground in here, but just in case. It was to avoid anything someone might have left in her room too. She wouldn’t want to break something that belonged to Ash, Delphia, Sola, or Luna. It would destroy her if she broke something of her mother’s.

It felt like an eternity before she was in front of her dresser. As slow as she could manage, she pulled herself to sit on her knees. Alessie set just the tips of her fingers against the dresser. Moved forward to rest her chin against the top, too. There was no movement. No noise. Nothing to give a sign that her flowers were in the house inside. She squinted to try and see through the walls to them.

Just as a whine started to bubble up in her chest, the door to the little house opened. Ash walked out without a shirt, pants hanging off their hips. The whine immediately swapped to a purr as they walked closer. She frowned when they stopped before touching her. The purr in her chest died down to where she barely felt it.

“You’re louder when you crawl,” Ash said. Alessia pulled her chin off the dresser and lowered her head until her eyes were all that was visible. “You were supposed to be home hours ago. We were worried. You saw the messages. Felix told us when you left.”

“Sorry,” she whispered. Ash stepped a bit closer. Their smell was intoxicating. She was desperate to taste them. They spread their arms wide.

Alessia quite literally jumped at the chance to get close. She slammed her lips right into their stomach. A hand behind them to hold them close. A purr erupted from her chest, she opened her lips slightly to get a taste of the earthy flowers. They chuckled, but leaned into her.

“Ash, I thought we were going to wait until tomorrow to talk to her,” Delphia’s voice was angry. Alessia whined again. It made the purr feel weird in her chest. “First she goes out to a bar when she promised to spend the night with us. Then she gets lost while drunk and Rhys has to go out to find her.”

“Sorry.” Alessia’s eyes started to fill with tears. Delphia walked forward and placed her hands on Alessia’s lips.

“Did you get hurt?”

A head shake. A tiny hand slapped her. She whined again. A tiny kiss pressed on Alessia’s lips had the purr burst out of her twice as loud as before. She brought a hand up behind Delphia and pressed a kiss on the cloth covering the tiny woman’s stomach. The dark blue satin nightgown didn’t hide the floral taste.

“You’re more drunk than I thought,” Ash chuckled.

“What kept you so long?” Delphia’s voice was soft, but Alessia dropped down at the words. She left the two humans standing high above her as she settled on her back.

“I don’t wanna tell you,” she whined.

Alessia jumped as a small weight landed on her stomach. Sometimes she forgot the two humans she fell for were reckless. As reckless as she was. Another weight joined the first and that only made her whine. They needed to stay up high where she couldn’t hurt them. Tears fell from her eyes as the image of the car popped into her head. It didn’t matter what Rhys said. She still thought it was a human car.

“Alessia, you can tell us. We were worried,” Delphia said. The little woman lost the fierce attitude when it came to Alessia, but it didn’t make anything easier. Alessia whined again, it was immediately replaced by purrs when one of the humans on her stomach moved.

She pushed herself up to see Ash walking on her. They stopped once she met their eyes and fell to their knees. A moment passed before they leaned down and kissed her stomach, just as she had them. It made her blush, but made it even harder to say what happened. Delphia did the same thing Ash did which set Alessia off. She couldn’t hide the truth from them.

“I-I st-stepped-” she sobbed, the words were a fight to get out “I stepped on a- on a car. R-Rhys says it w-was a toy, but it could be a human’s and then-then I broke someone’s car!”

“Alessia,” Both humans said her name, but she was set off again completely. She sat up as straight as she could without sending the humans tumbling to the floor and used a hand to rub her eye.

“I-I tried to fix it, but everything made it worse. Humans could be stranded and it’s all my fault. A-and now you two know and I-I might scare you and-and-and I’m a monster like everyone outside the Kamias! Like all the humans tonight said!”

Alessia gave up trying to see them. She fell onto her back and almost hoped the two would climb off her. Climb back to the house and leave her all alone. Instead she felt one of the two walking up towards her head, the other walking towards her legs. She was confused, but didn’t want to risk hurting them. It would be better if she didn’t move.

Whichever one of them had gone toward her legs reached the end of her shirt. She only knew because they lifted up the cloth. She gasped when cold tiny hands touched her skin. It was almost enough to make her sit up. Almost.

“Was there anyone in the car? Or things that could be a human’s?” Delphia’s voice came from Alessia’s chest.

“N-no, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a human’s car,” she whispered. 

It was the first time in a long time she was worried about being too loud. The cold hands of Ash made her jump again when they pressed against the skin of her stomach. Another purr ripped from her chest when the smallest spot of cold hit her skin. Another kiss. Another sign of love, acceptance. Of trust.

“I did hear Rhys say he was going to go clean up what happened, Ryder was on his head,” Delphia walked as she spoke now. Getting closer and closer. Alessia tried her best not to give in to her desire to hold the little woman. To pull Ash from her shirt and hold them close where she could kiss them, smell them, anything her mind came up with.

“But-” Alessia stopped when another pinprick of cold hit her skin. She couldn’t understand just how Ash was that cold.

“So if there was a human, they’ll have a chance to get help. I doubt they saw a crying giant, likely mumbling to herself about how she broke a car and ruined some poor human’s life as a threat. Ryder will convince them, Rhys would smell them and catch them. Plus,” Alessia held her breath when she felt Delphia’s weight leave her chest. Relief made her purr louder when it reappeared on her cheek. Tiny hands wiped at the tears Alessia had been shedding, “You would have smelled a human. Knowing you, that would have made you grab them in fear they’d get hurt, especially with how much you had to drink tonight.”

They sat in silence for a bit. Alessia let what Delphia said settle in her mind. It made sense, sort of, but didn’t change anything. She could step on a car. Break it. Ruin something important for a human’s daily life. She was dangerous. A risk to the two currently on top of her. Especially the one she now felt making their way up to her chest.

She didn’t dare speak while Delphia was on her cheek. While Ash climbed to reach her face. Too many risks. Too much danger. It didn’t help that she couldn’t stop purring from Delphia’s scent and Ash’s movements. The two were a perfect combo to make her relaxed and happy. Something she didn’t deserve at the moment. The combo nearly beat her when Ash reached her collarbone and paused to plant a few more kisses. Each one making her purr grow just a little louder.

Finally Ash cleared her shirt. She was both sad and relieved to have it happen, it was safer they were out. They didn’t move from right by her neck. She waited a painfully long time. It was clear after a few seconds that they weren’t moving though.

“We trust you,” Ash said. Their words broke the little control she’d managed. She reached up quickly to grab Delphia and Ash, one in each hand. Then rolled onto her side to stare at them both. Ash smirked at her. It reminded her of Rhys’s when he broke through some bad lie she’d come up with. Ash spent too much time with him. “You’re no monster. We wouldn’t love you if you were.”

Alessia leaned into her hands. She pressed her lips against the stomachs of the two humans as best she could. Both started laughing as soon as she touched them. They’d said before that her purrs made her whole body shake. Made her lips tickle them. She kind of liked that. She kissed them again and again until finally the alcohol and tears caught up with her. She fell asleep holding them both, smelling the most wonderful flowers in the world, hearing the sweetest mixture of laughs.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Alessia woke up on the floor with an awful headache. Two humans comfortably asleep in her hands and a little in her mouth from how she held them. She managed to push herself up while the two stayed asleep. Slow, slightly painful steps brought her to her bed where she got comfortable. Of course she did pull Delphia and Ash right against her lips again. The trust felt nice.

Her mind was clearer too. It was obviously a toy she stepped on thinking back. No motor, no glass, and like Rhys said it wasn’t metal. Crying over what she thought was a human car could have put her in a bad position with other families too. She couldn’t bring herself to care though. Not when the two most important people in the world to her cared enough to reassure her. To promise that even if it was a real car they wouldn’t abandon her.

Prompt: Unconventional Restraints Word count: 567

~

“Back off,” Terri says, trying her hardest to keep her voice from shaking. She’s scared - fuck, of course she’s scared - but people are relying on her. She can’t afford to let them down.

Miles (well. It’s not Miles, not really. Something that looks like him, but not him) smiles. It doesn’t look right on his face, not the same bright, easy-going smile she’s used to.

“Come on,” he says, opening his arms towards her. “It’s me, Terri.”

She shakes her head. “I don’t know what you are. But I know my friend.”

He - it - sighs. “I am your friend.”

It takes another step towards her (towards Ash, still cowering behind her), and she balls her hands into fists. “I told you to back off.”

“I wouldn’t hurt you,” it promises, giving her another smile that just looks wrong. “Have I ever hurt you?”

“I don’t know you,” she says, shaking her head. “You’re not my friend.”

“We’ve been through so much together.”

It takes another step closer and she throws her hands out, acting on instinct more than anything else. Vines whip out from the ground and block its way, stopping it from getting any closer.

“I’m warning you.”

It narrows its eyes. It’s only from knowing Miles so well that Terri can guess its next move, because while it is not him it's still in his body, and it moves the same way.

It launches itself into the air, wings flying out to steady it as it tries to get behind them, but Terri is already moving. A vine wraps around its ankle and yanks it back down to earth, hard enough that it slams into the ground.

Ash makes a small, choked off cry, and for a moment Terri freezes, terrified she’s killed her best friend.

He’s alive, though. At least, the creature puppetting his body is, and it tries to pull itself up to stand.

She wraps the vines around it, binding its wings to its back. It struggles, cursing her, and she looks away, catching her breath and making sure Ash is alright.

After a moment its curses turn to pleas, pleading with her to let it go. I thought we were friends, it says, in Miles’ voice. I thought I could trust you.

Ash is crying softly, and Terri wraps her arms around her. She shouldn’t be here, too young to have to see this, but they can’t send her back now. They’re all in too deep.

“Please,” the thing that isn’t Miles asks, and Ash pulls away from Terri to look at it.

“Shut up,” she snarls, the ground shaking for a moment.

Terri bites back a smile. Ash is so, so brave.

“It’s alright,” she says, putting a hand on Ash’s shoulder. “We need to go.”

Ash glances up at her and then over at Miles, still struggling in the vines. “We can’t leave him.”

Terri swallows, closing her eyes for a moment. “We have to.”

They can’t take him with them. He’s too dangerous, like this, and they have enough on their plate without having to keep him restrained. She doesn’t know how to help him.

Ash stares for a moment and then looks away, burying her face in Terri’s shoulder.

“He’ll be alright,” Terri tells her, and hopes it’s true.

Ash nods, quiet, and lets Terri lead her away. He shouts after them until they’re out of earshot.

[identityquest]

I'm always playing catchup I stg... day 5, relationships. I let my followers vote on whether I'd reveal spoilery oc lore during this week and they voted yeas 👍 these two characters are Ash and End, primordial god siblings whos childhood squabble ruins everything for everyone. Deeper lore under the cut

Every narrative I have is connected through a singular setting: the Ether, the overarching plane of existence that everything exists within. The Ether is the body of the first sapient entity, the Beginning, whose dying breath would breathe new life into their dead body. From their flesh arose new souls, the first of which was Ash. Ash—the Middle—was their inheritor and overseer of all creation. More primordial concept-deities came after them, like Time and Space and so on, until their final sibling was born. End—the concept of senescence—would one day devour the Ether and then become a new Beginning, and so the cycle would continue.

Ash hated End for what they perceived as preferential treatment from their absent parent; End would one day grow to overpower the other deities and outlive them. The two siblings quarreled and bickered with each other for eons until one day, their argument reaching a head, Ash struck out and killed End. They hadn't intended to, because no one knew that gods could die. The End shattered into trillions of non-sapient soul fragments, out of the perception of the gods. However, in their death throes they lashed out and split Ash in two. These two new halves, Ink and Paint—gods of darkness and light—would go on to rule over creation like they'd intended. Later, they would drift into a deep sleep billions of years long.

Anyone old enough to remember End assumes they are dead, with only enough non-sapient shards of them left to enforce the concept of senescence over creation. This isn't quite true though—one large shard survived, and is hellbent on revenge. This shard is the Head, the logic centers of the ancient deity. Underpowered and almost basically mortal without the rest of its soul, the Head goes unnoticed by its divine siblings. It seeks out the other shards of the End in order to devour them and regain its lost power.

The Head has lived multiple mortal lives while searching for these shards. The primary shard it's looking for is the Heart—a hypothetical mass of pure, concentrated emotional memory. This one shard would be enough for End to reform and devour all of creation. My character Meyrin is the Head, and right now he's convinced Romsir, and unrelated mortal, is the Heart. Meyrin has followed Romsir across multiple lives, attempting to either ingratiate himself to them or to outright take control over them. Most of these attempts have resulted in both of their premature deaths.

Their most recent life is different though—the collapse of a universe has threatened the integrity of all of creation, and sleeping gods are beginning to wake up. Both of them are on a time limit: Meyrin needs to devour the Heart before his siblings catch him, and Romsir needs to save their universe before everything falls apart. Neither is having a good time of it.

Bonus points if there are illustrations or quotes to justify your answers. ✨

Wow, thank you Anon! (I mean... "Anon"... 👀) You really want to read all this?!

8. Who has the worst luck?

Zak, maybe. He's adamant in staying out of trouble, but trouble keeps on finding him!

13. Do/Did any of your characters have large ears they had to grow into as a kid?

Ulrik... Nah, they're still big. 🤡 So, it would be Altair!

14. Are any of your characters nonverbal?

Ash probably, and Juliva.

21. Do any of your characters have heterochromia?

Ash! She's my only character whith heterochromia, and it wasn't even intended at first. But, writing her background story and the part where she's gravely wounded during a hunting accident changed one of her natural green eyes to a blue-ish hue.

22. Do any of your characters have someone named after them? Or are they named after someone else?

Altair isn't the only "Altair" branch in his very extensive family tree, and also Mereel (one of the kids rescued by the Mandos on Aq Vetina in "The Foundlings") has obviously been named after Mand'alore Jaster Mereel.

29. Are any of your characters nameless? (In that there is no legal record of them existing, they just don’t have names in canon, or history remembers them but not their name?)

... Not one that I talked about here, but he's only known as "Sarge".

32. Do you have any characters who are twins?

Yep! Jo and Josh, Merry's cousins. And Guten and Borg, Ash's adoptive brothers (she's the adopted one).

37. Did any of your characters have a fever they almost died from as a child?

Ash again! After the hunting accident, she almost died while being treated because of said fever. Luckily, Walter and the Crone were good at healing people... 😰

44. Are any of your characters overshadowed by other siblings? Or have parents who clearly have a favorite? (ex: Boromir and Faramir)

Vivian, by her baby sister. She loved her, but so did her parents and she felt left aside. And sadly, she didn't imagine it even though she might have exaggerated it all in her child's mind...

48. Are any of your characters apprentices?

Ash was, Zak too... And Elara, somewhat. But also the main character of a fantasy story with dragons I wrote long time ago.

50. Are any of your characters Good Dads ™?

Neal, even though he isn't around as much as he should, but Korben too. I think Din's biological father (and mother!!) was exactly what Canderous would praise against stupid Dantooine farmers whinging about not knowing what to do to protect and save their children, and Korben made a point for Din to remember them and their courage daily. Korben had a son and a foundling before Din, so he knew already what loss and pain could do to a child and how to handle it... even though after his son and foundling left the covert, he wasn't too eager to take another under his care. Until he saw that silent kid mesmerized by the controls of his ship... 😊

68. Are any of your characters intimidatingly beautiful?

Personally, I'd say Juliva and Litti (because Ana Torv and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are just gorgeous 😍). But none has been written to be seen or recognized as such. I'm not sure Isaac (Juliva's brother in arms and now husband) even noticed how pretty I think she is, and Ela just loved how nice and caring Litti was with her.

74.  Are any of your characters associated with flowers?

... none that I've ever talked about here either. (She's called Lily.)

75: Do any of your characters wear glasses, sunglasses, goggles, or monocles?

Elara wears goggles, Leona wears glasses after a long, tiring day and Vivian and Merry wear sunglasses anytime they need. No monocles but I feel like Anton could fit in here too, because of his stupid gunner helmet 😝

77. Have any of your characters had to kill a friend?

I... don't think so?! 😲 But I have a gnawing doubt now.

84. Do any of your characters have gaps in their teeth or are missing teeth?

Vespera had a gap between her front teeth when she was a child. But not anymore.

92. Have any of your characters started and/or led a revolution?

Vivian started a revolution, somewhat. But if not her, then Ash. Not exactly a revolution though. More like raids?!?! It was against bandits and highwaymen so I'm not sure it can apply as "a revolution" though...

96. Which character is The Proudest ™ of their kids?

Crahl, for starters. All the kids he trained are his pride and joy. But Elara too! She's so proud of Jakem even though he's not her son, and now she's so proud of Tip-yip too!!! She doesn't understand SHIT about all that Jedi stuff but she doesn't care all too much either, so... What she sees is that he knows a lot of stuff, and understand even more!! And that's all she needs. 💖

100. Are any of your characters queer?

Well, Elara? Her most loving and lasting relationship was with a woman.

108. Are any of your characters dogs?

Astro and Nerio. The first is [REDACTED]'s dog and the second is Altair's.

114. Do any of your characters insist on going by their fullname rather than a nickname?

Hmm. I think I have more characters doing the very opposite of that and preferring to go by completely different names like Zak using the name of his dead best friend, Ulrik being known under specific names by his snitches and other contacts, Vivian trying not to trigger Lawrence's script by using her college nickname/username in the park, Elara having a heap of nicknames and monikers given who's talking to her because she can't bear to hear people she barely know call her "Ela" like her parents, brother and Din did...

Well! Now that I think of it, Elara would be one of them! She'd rather be called "Elara" or even by her family name than to be called "Ela" by strangers!

115. Do any of your characters have an honorary father figure?

Ash could count Walter (the grumpy asshole who taught her how to become a demonist) as an honorary father figure, I guess?! 🤣

120. Do any of your characters have PTSD?

Sadly, a few yes. Vivian and Ulrik were my only shell shocked characters, and Vespera has been added to the roster now... because of awful things she recently saw and had to run from during one of our game session! 😭

126. Are any of your characters on good terms/still friends with an ex?

Elara! Litti is still a very good friend of her.

132. Who is the precious cinnamon roll?

Answered here! But I could add Mereel too! This kid is the sweetest there is in all the galaxy.

133. Have any of your characters ever been caught in a fire or explosion?

First, there was Zak.....

"There was a mosquito in the basement... so I threw a match in the powder kegs."

And now, little spoiler for upcoming chapters of Lost and Found, even though he isn't exactly *my* character:

146. Were any of your characters disowned or abandoned by their parents?

Ulrik, kinda. His mother helped him out of the house because the tension with his *cough* 'father' *cough* was getting out of hand. So she caught him as he was planning to flee on his own, gave him a few aquilas, and kissed him farewell and good luck. 🥺

153: Do any of your characters embody the spirit of a flapper? (Bonus points for style and or lifestyle)

A "secondary-ish" character in my Westworld series: Marge, a colleague of Vivian's. Also Adelaide and Leona.

163: Are any of your characters autistic? (If so, do they have special interests and what are they?)

... according to @hathorik , Elara would be... ?!?! Even though she hasn't been written to be.

She loves numbers and languages, but I don't know if these interests are any special! Speeder bikes, maybe???

165: Who is a “girls just wanna have fun” character?

Marge again! She's boisterous and a very big mouth but I think she's hidding a lot of anxiety behind her behavior... (PUN INTENDED)

169: Are any of your characters married to the sea?

Does Elara count? Not exactly the sea but space... Litti can tell that you can't keep Ela on the ground for too long.

172: Do any of your characters hold a grudge against someone?

Answered here!
