Fanfic inspider by @thisbelongsto-nohbodys 's future owlphibia au. Please excuse the fact that I have no idea how Ao3 works, so it's all posted here.

CW: Somewhat-more-than-canon-level violence, blood, minor swearing, and blatant shipping.

Armoured Knightmare

It wasn't supposed to go like this.

When Azura Noceda had met up with her frenemy, Lily Boonchuy, she hadn't expected their day to end up here. It was just supposed to be a normal hang out. But Lily had seemed especially down that day, so Azura figured a short adventure on the Isles would help cheer the blonde girl up.

It hadn't been long into their journey that Azura had noticed a structure she hadn't seen before. It looked old. Really old in fact. It was some sort of stone structure, looking almost like the entrance to an ancient tomb. Azura, of course, wanted to leave well enough alone. Who knew what sorts of traps were down there to kill potential grave robbers? But Lily marched towards it all the same.

“Lily, you're being stupid.” Azura said plainly as she jogged to catch up to her friend. “We have no idea what's down there.” Cotton, her tiny white bat palisman, squeaked in agreement from on top of Azura's head. Lily just gave Azura a look over her shoulder before continuing on.

“Listen, we came out here to adventure, right? What better adventure than an ancient, unopened tomb in a magical world?” Lily drew her sword and jammed the blade in between the two stone doors, and began to push on the sword, using it as an impromptu pry bar.

“The stuff above ground is dangerous enough.” Azura stated. Now that they were closer, she could make out faint carvings on the door. It was hard to make out what they were trying to say, but she could make out some sort of orb with tendrils stretching out, an armoured figure, and a group of witches and demons tearing the armoured figure apart. While she tried to figure out the carvings that were faded more than the others, she was startled by a loud scraping sound.

Lily smiled as she managed to open one of the doors enough to get a hold with her hand. Grabbing hold with both hands, she pulled, grunting in effort as she moved the large stone door. “Listen,” she said once it was open enough for her to slip inside, “I'm going down there. You can follow me, or you can stay up here. Doesn't matter to me either way.”

Before Azura could respond, she saw Lily slip inside the crack. Sighing, she started following after the blonde. “Why are you acting like this?” She muttered, more to herself than to Lily. If the other girl heard her, she didn't respond. All Azura knew was that Lily and her younger brother, Percy, got into some sort of argument, and Percy had said something about how Lily would never be like her moms. From what Azura knew of the younger kid, he had to have been pretty pissed off to say something that mean to his sister. And Azura partially understood why Lily felt the way she did. Her mom saved the Isles from Belos when she was younger than Azura was now, and Lily's moms had done the same for that other world, Amphibia. Both of them were daughters of legends, who had a lot to live up to. But sometimes, it seemed to Azura that Lily was either going to be a hero or die trying.

As the pair trudged deeper and deeper into the tomb, Azura drew a small circle in the air, casting a basic light spell and holding the floating orb in the air above her open palm. All around were mossy stone tiles and carvings covered in various vegetation. The carvings were practically gone, destroyed by the ravages of time. Whatever story - or warning - these carvings told was unable to be gleamed. However, Azura frowned at something else she noticed.

“There's no bodies or coffins.” The witchling noted aloud. Lily simply shrugged.

“So?” The human girl asked.

“A tomb of this size should have at least a few. Or even offerings to the dead or something. But it's just the stonework so far.”

“Well, maybe it's all just further in.”

“Bodies, maybe. But offerings are left near the entrance, so that visitors don't disturb the dead.” Azura pointed out. “And we've gotten far enough in anyways that there really should be bodies.”

Lily sighed. “Well, maybe it's not a tomb then. So, there's just something else to discover down here.”

“That's what worries me.” The witchling sighed and pet Cotton, who was letting out small, nervous squeaks.

The two continued deeper and deeper, the carvings soon giving way to smooth walls. And then, the hallway opened up to a massive stone room, easily a cube 50 feet in all directions. Azura jumped and Lily raised her sword as, when they passed the threshold from the hall to the room, light spells activated all around the room, illuminating it. The entire room was empty, save for some sort of stone throne with a rusted suit of armour slumped in the seat.

Lily sighed and looked around. “All this, for one suit of armour? Seems overkill.” Lily took a step forward, but Azura grabbed her arm tightly. In the witchlings hand, she held a miniature harp, one of her signature instruments for her bard magic.

“Lily, we should go. We can find something else to do. Maybe we can hike up the knee, fight a Slitherbeast or two. But we should leave this alone and tell someone else about it.” Azura's voice was filled with nervousness.

Lily grit her teeth and pulled her arm out of Azura's grip. “What, think I can't handle a dumb suit of armour?”

“Lily, that's not what I-”

“And even if it is magical and animates, it's not like I don't know how to fight!”

“I know that! I'm just saying-”

“What, that you think I don't have what it takes?!” Lily got right up to Azura, gripping her sword tight, knuckles turning white.

“I'm saying I don't want you to get hurt because you're too angry to think straight, you idiot!” Azura snapped. She panted heavily as she and Lily stared each other down. Lily glared hard at Azura.

“Screw. You.” Lily said, and marched towards the armour.

“Lily, wait!” Azura followed after her.

“If you're not going to help, just leave!” Lily yelled back at Azura without looking back.

Azura felt a growing sense of dread as they approached the armour. Something was very wrong, but she couldn't tell what.

Lily got right in front of the armour, staring down at it.

“Happy? It's just a normal set of abandoned armour. Now, please, can we just-” Azura yelled in surprise as Lily swung her sword with a scream, knocking the helmet clean off and sending it clattering to the floor. Azura watched Lily for a moment, the human girl panting heavily. It was only after a moment that Azura realized Lily wasn't panting, but starting to cry. Wordlessly, Azura pulled Lily into a hug. After about a minute, Lily finally spoke.

“I'm sorry.” Lily quietly said. “You're right. This was stupid. I just… What Percy said.”

“I know. I understand. Believe me. I really do. But if you need to blow off steam, there are much better places than old, creepy tombs.”

Lily chuckled dryly. “Yeah. Yeah, you're right.” Lily sighed and stepped out of the hug, Azura letting her. She wiped away the last of her tears and sighed. “How about lunch instead?”

“Sure. But you're paying.” Azura said with a playful smirk, earning an equally playful chuckle and punch to the arm from her friend.

“I don't have any snails, dumbass.” Lily let a small smile creep onto her face.

The two of them began to walk out of the room, but the bright mood was quickly broken, both girls freezing in place as the sound of metal scraping along stone behind them. Slowly, and wide-eyed, they turned around. Behind them, the armour was slowly getting up from it's throne, it's joints creaking with untold years of built up rust. From where it had landed on the floor, the helmet was floating up and over to the body. With a dull, hollow clank, it landed back where Lily had knocked it from. The armour rolled it's non-existent neck, pulling a sword from behind the throne and staring down the two young adventurers with empty, hateful eyes.

“Lily?”

“Run?”

“Run!”

The two spun around and started sprinting towards the hallway they had come from. Behind them, they heard the animated armour rapidly approaching. Azura spun around and strummed her harp, creating a magic shockwave that she hoped would cause the armour to stumble. When nothing happened, Azura whistled for Cotton, who transformed into its staff form, Azura hopping on.

“Hop on!” Azura yelled at Lily, holding her hand out to Lily. Lily reached out and grabbed hold.

And then the sword came down on her back.

And Azura saw a spray of red come from the wound.

It wasn't supposed to go like this.

Azura pulled Lily up quickly, holding the now limp girl close. She sped off on Cotton, the armour chasing after them, though with the speed boost from riding her palisman, Azura quickly outpaced it. She blasted through the open door, skidding to a halt and placing Lily down gently on the ground before running over and pushing as hard as she could to close it, Cotton even flapping over to help her. She could still hear the armour rushing towards them, which only spurred Azura on more. Just as she thought she was going to be trampled by the running armour, she slammed the stone door shut, the armour slamming into it from the other side, but seemingly unable to push it open from its side. Deciding that would have to do for now, Azura picked Lily up and rushed her to the only place she could think of.

Lily was breathing shallow, and looked up at Azura. “Z-Zura. I… I need to tell you something…”

“You can tell me later, okay?” Azura said, wishing now more than ever she didn't inherent her mama's weak nerd arms.

“No. No, please. Let me tell you. Please.” Lily's voice was weak, each word a struggle.

Azura had tears in her eyes, her attempts to speak failing and just slowly nodding.

“I… I like you ‘Zura. I know… I know I denied it, but… I… I like you.” Lily admitted, her eyes slowly closing.

“Hey. Hey, you keep your eyes open, okay? Lily? Lily?!” Azura shook the girl as she passed out in Azura's arms. Seeing where she was heading, she burst through the door, nearly out of breath. “AUNT VINEY! I NEED HELP!”

What happened next was a blur. She breathlessly explained vaguely what happened to Viney, who took Lily away. Emira contacted Amity and Luz, who in turn contacted Anne, Sasha and Marcy. When everyone arrived, Amity and Luz checked on Azura, while Anne, Sasha and Marcy waited with Percy and Maddy, Lily's younger sister and the youngest sibling, waited for Viney to finish up with Lily. All Azura could pick up was when her Aunt Viney said Lily's wound healed without a scar. After what felt like an eternity, Anne walked up to Azura, getting down to eye level.

Azura looked at Anne with teary eyes. “I-I'm so sorry. I… I… I'm sorry.”

Anne softly smiled and put a comforting hand over Azura's. “Hey. Don't be. Lily told us what happened. You saved her, Azura. Thank you. So much.” Anne softly pulled Azura into a short hug. “Now, Lily says she wants to talk to you about something.”

Azura nodded, getting up and walking past the rest of Lily's family. Sasha looked over at Azura as the witchling passed by and mouthed a silent “Thank you,” before going back to keeping their youngest daughter occupied.

Azura entered the room where Lily was lying in a bed. Already, the human girl looked much better. Azura took a seat beside Lily.

“So… um… your mom said you wanted to talk to me?” Azura shifted awkwardly in her seat, unsure if Lily remembered what she had said on the way here. Lily nodded.

“First off, thanks. And… And you were right. We definitely shouldn't have gone down there.”

Azura sighed softly. “While you're right, I probably should have done something more to stop you. But what's important is that you're okay now.” She smiled softly.

Lily nodded. A small blush formed on her cheeks. “And… um… I meant what I said. On our way here.”

It was Azura's turn to blush, her face going as red as a tomato. “O-Oh. Um. O-Of course. I… I just wasn't sure if you remembered.” Azura shifted awkwardly again. “Um…” Azura sighed, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked Lily in the eyes. “I… I think I like you too, Lily.”

Lily's blush grew even brighter. “So… what does that mean for us?”

Azura took a deep breath. “I… I think this means… We take it slow. One date at a time. And see where we go from there.” Azura took Lily's hand with a smile. Lily smiled back.

“I think I can deal with that.”

From the doorway, Percy laughed. “Called it!” He received a pillow to the face from his sister for his troubles.

So what ended up happening with Viney and Emira?

a quick sketch of them since it's been a while since I've drawn this ship.

Viney: Healing & Beast-Keeping Magic, A Teacher at Hexside (Teaches classes for Multi-Track students in her tracks), Runs a Vet clinic for magical animals on the Isles but also was trained in Earth animals by Camila and helps when needed, Co-Coaches with Willow with the new Emerald Entrails team at Hexside, Works with Edric when she needs help with matters that'd involve Potions, Viney takes care of Puddles' offspring

Emira: Illusion & Healing Magic, works mostly as a Healer with a focus on pediatrics and loves using her illusions to entertain the kids while they heal, she and Edric managed to live their own lives Emira still goes to him first when she needs help with Potions for her patients, Idr if it was Dana or a crew member but one of them said that Edric and Emira's Palisman would've been a butterfly/moth and it wouldn't be whom ppl think it goes to and so I gave Emira the Moth Palisman

They married around 24 and was 1 year before Lumity married. They honeymoon'd on the peak of the Raised Arm, they'd later honeymoon again on Earth as an anniversary gift (locations suggested by Luz and Camila, Mr X helped with security in case someone had questions when they'd use magic), They're Azura's fun aunts and are always down to hang out with her (especially Viney since Azura multi-tracked into Beast-Keeping)

[fruity-phrog]

Okay with Eda and Alador I hc that whatever separated Darius and Alador separated those two as well - they clearly knew each other at least.

The Willow thing was just a baby crush when she was younger.

I FORGOT TO ADD HUNTER AND LUZ AS SIBLINGS PLEASE FORGIVE ME-

[aroacemisha]

polycule idea

(Tap/click for better quality)

I don’t really ship this (though who knows, that could change), but I thought this idea was funny. Inspired by a similar thing I saw once.

“Their girlfriend” can be read as either just Viney’s girlfriend (I hc her as using she/they) or as both Skara and Viney’s girlfriend, and I’m fine with either. I’m also fine with Willow being in a QPR with any of the three, be it just Skara, her and one of the others, or all three.

All the ships between these four are valid btw, including both romantic, queerplatonic, alterous, etc. and mixed versions. Skarlow? Skarney? Vinera? Skarlowiney? Skarnera? Skarlowinera? Other combinations? Lovely <3

Though I’ve never actually seen this specific variation, I think I’m the first. Feel free to suggest a ship name for this, if you have any ideas.

Also, new signature. About time I changed it to Misha.

Please reblog my work. Reblogs help creators reach a wider audience.

[valmorcel]

Some Viney and Emira art (first one a little old) <3

They are my 3rd otp from owl house; it's... really hard to find art or content from them these days with the rise of their other ships, but don't worry, if I have to sail this ship on my own I will 🤭, i am a believer that their potential as a couple after Labyrinth Runners is HUGE (or maybe it's the little headcanons in my head messing with me).

heavy use of references. please do not repost/use without my permission

[the-one-and-only-tree]

Multiple frames with both of them? It’s practically canon at this point I mean

[lily-cmdier99]

“Let me take care of you.”

This is my Summerween Gift to @the-lone-witch-and-secret-room! It’s a little event thing done in a server we’re in and it was really fun to draw these two together for the first time! I think I had their dynamic down well! (I also find it an utter shame that we don’t have more of these two so I might end up drawing them more in the future - who knows? We’ll find out eventually XD)

It was a pleasure to make this for you, Eleena, hope you enjoy this! <3 

[deadwardianpoltergeist]

I have a vision

[pinkiemeowstic89]

Sooooo…

Now that the show has (unfortunately thanks to executive meddling) run its course, is Viney X Emira still as popular as it was when The First Day aired?

[thisbelongsto-nohbodys]

I would like to imagine a beast keeper like Viney would ADORE camping and would often bring Emira out with her to enjoy it.

Only Emira's idea of "Roughing it" doesn't involve building your own shelter, eating what you catch, and bathing in a lake. She's rich. She brought the biggest tent money can buy and gourmet food to last three days maximum.

Emira has her fancy camping stuff, chilling around the campfire as she watches her woodsy wife chop wood in a sleeveless shirt.

Emira: I love camping

[fruity-phrog]

These are just relationships that I view as QPR or have seen other people saying they could be a QPR there’s no rhyme or reason to why those are the ones I picked. Reblog yadda yadda no hate blah blah bla.

[samcat0925]

what are your owl house and harry potter ships?

My Owl house ships:

Lumity(It’s just perfect and I love them with all of my heart)

Rieda(Eda and Raine were just so much fun to see together and I really want them to be together in season 3 as some point)

Goldric(or Huntric, whichever you prefer)(If you ship Huntlow, then that’s fine and no hate to you. I just don’t ship them because I haven’t seen any kind of feelings for Hunter from Willow and I see her actions towards him as more friend-based rather than romantic but that’s just me. Although I don’t see Hunter and Edric ending up together in the show due to the show being cut short, I think that their dynamic would be really fun and cute)

Skarlow(To me, it’s a past bully who becomes nice and was able to redeem herself by becoming friends with a past victim. Although I’m a little sad that there wasn’t an episode that explored Skara becoming redeemed as well as her and Willow becoming friends and close enough where Willow chooses her to be a part of her flyer derby team. It would have been so cute and sweet to see.)

Gustholomule(I love these two so much. I was smiling so much during the end of the “Through the Looking Glass Ruins” episode as well as the scene in Labyrinth Runners where Matt gets so mad about not being able to multi-track in the illusion track.)

Vinira(They give me a special happy feeling whenever I look at them. I like to think that they would play off of each other well.)

Darius X Alador(In my mind, they are pretty much two old friends who probably had crushes on each other as some point before having a falling out where they stopped talking to each other but would constantly complain about the other to whoever is around to listen but the second that one of them is in danger, the other won’t hesitate to save the other and protect them with their lives if it comes to that.)

Veesha(Their friendship was really cute in the second season and while I’m not crazy about it just yet, I think that they have a lot of potential. Also, I think that Marsha would be the type of person who’d be really cool with Vee’s true form.)

My Harry Potter ships:

(in the books/movies aka my cannon ships that I like)

Hinny(I like it more in the books than the movies. Mostly because Ginny had more of a place in the books than in the movies. In the movies, she felt less like a person and way more like a love interest to Harry.)

Ronmione(again liked it more in the books than the movies; while the movies were great and I love them a lot, just liked how their relationship played out more in the books than in the movies but that’s just my opinion.)

(My non-cannon ships)

Darry(The classic Rivals/Enemies to Lovers trope that just hits my heart in the right way.)

Linny(This was more thanks to the books and how it was implied that Ginny and Luna were a lot closer than what was shown in the movies.)

Please don’t attack me for my ships. If you don’t ship them, then that’s fine. I won’t judge you for having a different ship than me but don’t hate on me for having a different ship than you. Thank you.

[desmondkane-of-ao3-fame]

Any HCs for Beta versions of our main 3 OTPs ;)? Maybe Vinira too, I’m interested in what you think the beta versions of the ships would be like

I've been putting this question off a bit because I honestly don't think a bunch about the Beta's themselves. Not that the Beta's aren't cool, but I've alway's been against the super violent, toxic form of Beta's that people seem to like. I prefer when the Beta's are more... human, for lack of a better word. Like, they're less serial killers and more sorta grungy teens with good hearts but not always the best upbringings.

So, I do have a couple of ideas for them, so I’ll write them down and hopefully they’re any good.

LUMITY: As cute a couple as they are in the show, though with a few twists.

Amity is very much an arsonist. Not a joke, just a fact. She loves summoning fire whenever she can, but especially to burn lovely messages to Luz in the sky or on tree’s. Luz find’s it a bit weird but so long as Amity doesn’t use it on people Luz finds it more quirky then horrifying.

Both Luz and Amity are still Azura nerds, even if they don’t openly discuss it as much. Despite Azura Book Club essentially dissolving into a way for Luz and Amity to have a private classroom to kiss in, they still do spend some time there discussing wacky theories, and both girls still dress up and go to con’s together whenever they can.

Amity and Luz like to make the Grom tree a place they go whenever things get stressful. Whenever Amity gets into a fight with her mom or Luz is feeling down or whatever, they always can just text their partner “Meet me at the tree please” and they’ll both be there within 15 minutes. Sometimes they chat about whatever is going on, sometimes they joke about other stuff, and sometimes they’ll just lean on one another, trying to get comfortable enough to just sleep away their troubles. 

While both girls are still soft and sweet as their normal counterparts, if not a bit older and sarcastic, hurting the other will DEFINETLY get you to see just how the Beta’s got so associated with psychopathic mayhem and a disregard for human life.

 SKARLOW: Just the cutest pair ever to have existed ever, now more grown up.

After over a decade of friendship, Skara and Boscha had a big, messy fight in the cafeteria, finally ending it. While Boscha will always say it was because Skara said Hexside’s Banshee’s were lame, the actual reason was because Skara had enough of Boscha belittling her and being a bully. When the two girls were finished, Skara apologized to Willow before collapsing from exhaustion. Willow was so shocked and impressed it planted the seed’s of her infatuation. 

Eventually, Skara and Willow became friends, and after a while, Skara and Willow had a sleepover. Willow, laying next to a (supposedly) sleeping Skara, admits her feelings in an attempt to get it off her chest. The problem? Skara’s not asleep, and Skara’s so shocked and infatuated herself that all she can do is jump out of her skin and scream ”WHAT!?” Thankfully, shortly after, Skara was able to come enough to her senses that she admits that she likes Willow too.

Willow’s a lot more openly tough, a bit more hardened, so she stand’s stronger and able to push her enemies away with a single stare. But Skara is still a bubbly cutie, and she loves to hang around Willow’s arm, often breaking through Willow’s façade and leading the Plant Witch to laugh and kiss her girlfriend’s forehead often.

The two girls are still in the Entrails, and they love to play Flyer Derby still, often being the top scorers and flaunting their relationship in front of their enemies with kisses after every time they score (which is good because they both score a lot).

GOLDRIC: A pair of Bad but Sad and Romantic Boys

Like with Skarlow, Hunter likes to stand tall and be intimidating, and Ed likes to break his façade. The main difference is that while Willow will laugh it off, Hunter just get’s INCREDIBLY flustered, especially when Ed hugs him from behind, or by kissing his hand whenever he see’s him, which flusters Hunter to no end.

Flapjack likes Ed a lot, asking Hunter when they’re getting married whenever Ed brings the little birdie specially made Palisman Seed.

Thankfully, Hunter has his own version of this in the form of Alador. He and Alador get along surprisingly well, Hunter even learning a little of Alador’s abomination tech to try and use it himself. Alador see’s him as another son, and like Flapjack, asks Edric when they’re getting married, which Hunter likes to tease him about.

Ed often likes to be overly dramatic in texts to get Hunter to come by quickly. Not by lying about dangers or whatever, but by simply using all caps in texts. For instance, he’ll go “BABY, COME QUICK!” and once Hunter runs to Ed, Ed just missed him a little. It can be a touch annoying, but a quick peck from Ed get’s Hunter ok again.

BONUS VINERA: The Most Lesbian pair of Lesbians to Ever Lesbian.

Viney and Emira met at an animal shelter Viney volunteered at. Em just went with Ed on his insistence to grab as much food for Batric as possible. But, when Em saw Viney for the first time, she immediately knew it was love and signed up to volunteer as often as possible. Thankfully, Viney always did the same, so they spent time with each other often. Em often stumbled and couldn’t hide her obvious crush, though Viney herself didn’t realize it until a few weeks in. After that, Viney asked Em on a date, which was enough for Em to collapse onto the floor holding a baby gryphon, screaming into its feathers in joy. Then, she simply said ‘Sure.’

Viney herself is an adventurous sort, and loves to travel the Isles for dates. Em was at first a bit nervous about the whole ‘Going to random places across the Isles’ thing, but quickly grew to love it, and even encouraged it (only partly because Viney has an incredibly cute adventure outfits).

Puddles and Em get along incredibly well, and Em is the only person outside of Viney who’s able to fly them, which is part of the reason Viney started to fall in love with her.

Apologies if this doesn’t really fit the ‘Beta’ characteristics and devolved into more normal TOH headcannons, but I hope you still enjoyed!

[the-lone-witch-and-secret-room]

Vinem Collab fic I did with @garseeyart, who not only joined me in writing but made two wonderful pieces of art for this!

It’s currently available on Ao3, I will update you guys when it’s uploaded on Wattpad also!

It was very fun working together and I really love how this came out!

For any readers, please mind the content warnings referred to in the notes. We hope you’ll enjoy this!

It’s been a hot minute since I last posted a vinem fic huh?

Semi-related note, since I can’t tag “my writing” anymore if I want this to show up in any of the tags (thank you, tumblr 🙄) I’m gonna tag fics as “eleena’s writing shenanigans” going forwards.

[taco-blook]

Hey vinera shippers, did you notice that now they're both in the healing coven
