I'd love to hear more about Moriah and Tantomile's relationship. (Also you've got almost 40 fics on AO3! :O Wow!)

(IKR!? Crazy how time flies!)

So, they met kind of on a whim.

Moriah had just joined the tribe and wanted to get to know the other magical folk. She met Coricopat first, who introduced her to Tantomile. For Mo, it was love at first sight. She was enamored by Tanto’s elegance, and got a dopey grin as she clumsily introduced herself.

Tantomile was a bit less impressed at first. Another magical cat was fine, but even she was a bit concerned that Moriah could predict the future, and usually tragic futures at that.

Then they really got to know each other. Moriah needed help dealing with the enormous burden she carried, and relied on the twins’ wisdom to help her through it a bit. Tantomile was curious enough eventually to watch Moriah paint, and she started to understand her more. Moriah loved to paint, but she was terrified to accidentally predict something horrible.

They spent more and more time together, Moriah teaching Tantomile how to paint and Tanto helping Moriah with her fears. Eventually it was very clear to everyone else that they were basically courting each other.

Then the ball comes around, and nobody has any idea who’s supposed to do the Pas De Deux. Then, the moon shines in the clearing, and Moriah and Tantomile seem to glisten under the moonlight as they dance together. They had been courting each other, but Moriah predicted they’d fully fall in love a long while later and Tantomile was already emotionally enamored with her so they decided to just skip to the actual mating.

They are very domestic while also mystical. Their den is decorated with a lot of paintings and shiny things, their nest is a big pile of pretty fabrics and feathers. They have dinner with Coricopat every other night (he lives next door). They have a little shop where they give mystical advice, just witchy lesbian cats 😊.

Some years later, they have kittens!

Tantomile gives birth (Moriah is Transfem, so they’re biologically theirs) to twins: A queen named Philomena and a tom named Malachite.

Philomena is owned by a Gravedigger, and she can speak to the dead. What’s odd about it is that she mainly speaks to dead humans. She’s more cynical and dark, though very close to her mothers and brother.

Malachite’s owner makes potions and such, and he likes to kinda just stare at the jars- He takes a lot more after Moriah, and is more cheery and comical. He gets along well with his Uncle Cori, they’re both magical but goofballs.

I love them-
