#wingman Otto

[presidenthades]

Alicent and Daemon.. That's a whole pack of worms

How would they even get along enough to make 4 kids 😭

Daemon swearing up and down to despise Otto and Alicent and then marrying Alicent and fathering and targ bro's and Helaena...

It actually would be really interesting how Daemon would treat the targ bro's and Hel,where he isn't insulting them every two minutes 💀

So here’s how I would make a “Daemon and Alicent get married and have the Targbros + Helaena” fic happen.

They probably get married around the same time Alicent married in canon, maybe because Viserys realized it might not be a great idea to secretly see a 15yo girl in his rooms…and then he foists responsibility onto someone else, i.e. his brother. Instead of banishing Daemon from court, Viserys annuls the Rhea Royce marriage and tells him to marry Alicent to show harmony and friendship with Otto. Viserys marries Laena instead.

Otto is horrified. Daemon is also horrified, until he realizes Otto hates it, and then Daemon decides he’s going to use this marriage to make Otto miserable by winning Alicent over from her father. Alicent might disapprove of some of Daemon’s activities, but we see in the Episode 1 tourney that she does seem to find him attractive at least. She is probably secretly relieved not to become the queen, although marrying Daemon would also cause a lot of friction with Rhaenyra.

I doubt Daemon would be an especially good husband to Alicent, but he would keep up appearances to fuck with Otto. Alicent is probably content to maintain appearances while mostly being left alone to care for her kids. She is less stressed about her kids being murdered, because they are very far down the line of succession, and few people are willing to mess with Daemon’s children.

In my AU, I tweaked the kids’ ages so Aegon, Helaena, and Aemond are only one year apart from each other. Baby #1 is conceived quickly during the honeymoon period. Daemon names him Aegon after his deceased younger brother and the Conqueror. Daemon is happy he has a healthy son so quickly, so this might prolong the honeymoon period.

Baby #2 shows up. It’s a girl, so Daemon lets Alicent name her, as long as the name sounds Targaryen. Baby #3 is another boy, and Daemon just rearranges one letter in his name ➡️ Aemond. So creative.

Rhaenyra gives birth to Jace around the same time Aemond is born, and a few moons later Laena gives birth to Baela and Rhaena. Laena survives and the twins are healthy, but complications render Laena unable to conceive again. Viserys still has no sons, so this cements Rhaenyra’s position as heir. Velaryons are disappointed but ultimately OK with this because Laenor is married to her and already has one legitimate child, so their blood is getting on the throne.

It does not escape Daemon and Otto’s notice that the only Targaryen males of the next generation are Daemon and Alicent’s kids. When Rhaenyra’s next kid is another girl, our favorite good-son and good-father duo reluctantly cooperate to scheme how to get their blood on the throne. The obvious solution is betrothing Aegon and Jace. Alas, Viserys is still in his “keep Daemon away from the throne” era and strongly discourages Rhaenyra and the Velaryons from accepting.

Daemon and Otto are still determined to marry Aegon and Jace for the Iron Throne, and also Aemond and Luce for Driftmark. Then they realize they should have at least one more boy to marry to Baela. By this point, Alicent is no longer starry-eyed about her marriage, but she’s carved out a space for herself at court, and her kids are all safe and healthy. She’s OK with having another child (it helps that Daemon is not a rotting corpse), and so Baby #4 is born. Daemon swaps one letter in his own name ➡️ Daeron.

Rhaenyra gives birth to Joff a few moons later. She has no interest in having any more children, since childbirth is so risky. Her three daughters are the most desirable marriage prospects ever, so there’s a lot of competition, and Viserys is not in favor of the Targbros. Luckily for them, their dad and grandpa 10000% prepared to be their wingmen 😎.

Ooh I almost forgot to answer how Daemon would treat his kids!

He and Aegon bond over a love of partying and roaming around Flea Bottom. Daemon is better than Viserys at keeping Aegon in shape, because Daemon is actually paying attention to his kids and ensuring they are competitive suitors for Rhaenyra’s daughters. Aegon is more inclined to listen to a dad who takes him out to gambling dens and ale houses for father-son time.

Aemond tries very hard to be like his father, which pleases Daemon. They do a lot of sparring together and talk about Valyrian history. Since Laena is still alive, Aemond can’t have Vhagar, but Daemon might take him on a secret outing to Dragonstone so he can claim Vermithor. Even though they are similar on a surface level, father and son probably still argue a lot because their pride gets in the way.

Daeron is very happy and friendly. Daemon has no idea where he gets it from. Daeron is the baby, so Daemon indulges him like everyone else does, but he really starts paying attention after Daeron is old enough to be whacked around the training yard/thrown onto dragonback.

Daemon isn’t sure what to do with Helaena at first, but unlike Viserys, he realizes that her prophecies aren’t just nonsense. Daemon has a healthy dose of skepticism (“dreams didn’t make us conquerors, dragons did”), but he would be intrigued by the idea of his daughter being a dragon dreamer. Considering Helaena’s abilities and the fact she’s Dreamfyre’s rider, Daemon might decide it’s better not to marry her away and just keep her at home. This makes Alicent happy.

i have the silliest idea. the worst idea for a frederica otto fic. so basically ottos all bashful around frederica lately so naturally subaru and garfiel go “YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HER???? 👀👀👀” and decide to be ottos wingmans so he can confess to frederica.

except. you thought this was casual fluff?? except actually this fredericas a fake. thats not the real one, she was either replaced or possessed by some entity. otto only knows bc 1. the entity is pretty Accurate copying frederica, its only slightly off, and 2. ottos dp helped him figure it out. so ottos acting and playing along for Reasons somehow to stealthily get rid of this fake frederica and get the real one back without tipping off the fake frederica or worrying garfiel and subaru. its a game of among us 👍

yes so anyway otto succeeds, probably destroys the fake one somehow, and the real frederica is back. maybe she doesnt remember anything that happened. or maybe she does remember what happened and shes like ……….what the fuck. meanwhile ottos like ahah dont tell a single soul about this actually. lets go on a date later ahah (so i can make sure you wont tell anyone about that.)

and also the fake frederica is like a caricature of her. a one dimensional version. a subtly ooc version. the one clouded by misogyny, perhaps. a fanon versio— *gets shot*

[thewingedwolf]

💀 listening to the round table. maester mari goes “cam is the hand of the queen but not in a otto hightower way, in a criston cole way. he will come in with chelsie on a one two punch, he’s such a great wingman for her….just because he is SO NAIVE about the game itself” i can’t stop laughing rn

[theanomily]

The thing is with the whole Otto-Laura-Lucy love triangle (beyond it yknow... being a love triangle) is that both Laura and Lucy are the type of person to be wingmaning for one another irrespective of their own feelings.

[hannukahmatata]

🦅💕😑 for both ships again!

🦅: How good are their friends at being wingmen? Do they even help at all or just sit back watching the pining with a bag of popcorn?

Doc Ock x Luminous:

They have exactly one person in common and it's Spidey. He is so on board because, honestly, he needs something happy in his life and they're both really good allies post-movie (Ock lives in this verse) and like... he's trying. He is. But calling attention to the very obvious energy between them kind of makes things worse for a long while.

Miss Naomi x Sportacus:

So the kids in Lazytown do not notice what's going on until they do, but one very funny wingman is Robbie. It only lasts an episode - his logic was that "Sportaflop" wouldn't be able to save the day if he was distracted in love, promptly disproved by both when his alarm went off and both rushed to help - but he was actually pretty effective at orchestrating time for them to be alone, which they mostly spent talking and working up the nerve to ask each other out.

On Naomi's side, her library (yes it's alive) had a weird tendency of locking Sportacus in whenever he visited, but only when Naomi was also inside. It's not subtle about it.

💕: Who confessed first and how? Did it go as planned or did shenanigans ensue?

Doc Ock x Luminous:

Shockingly, Ock did. It was post-movie, when he'd finally gotten a new inhibitor chip and was able to think clearly. Learning he'd been under the control of an AI really messed with Lo, and basically threw every interaction, especially the flirting, into question.

She'd essentially tried to avoid him for weeks after that, feeling confused and guilty, until he finally got her to talk with him while cleaning up the remains of the machine. That was when she explained how confused and conflicted she felt, because if he was controlled by an AI, how much of that was real? And his response was that was the only thing that was real, the one thing the actuators didn't push him to do. And he didn't want to lose any chance at still knowing her when he was finally free to do so as himself.

They had their first proper kiss that night.

Miss Naomi x Sportacus:

Another surprise, but it was Naomi! Sportacus knew he was in love with her way early into their friendship, (elves are just kind of like that), but he also just enjoyed the process of getting to know her and finding more things to love.

Naomi, meanwhile, was pretty fresh out of a journey of self-actualization and finding herself in the wake of delayed but immeasurable grief, so her experience with love was a bit more rocky. It wasn't that she didn't want to fall in love, it's that she didn't know that's what was going on. Her life had essentially been on pause for the last decade, so piecing herself back together was an ongoing process.

Anyway, she figured it out in the middle of the night while talking to the library and her companion puppet, Ragamonster, who's also alive. She spent a week trying to find the right words to say to him before settling on her usual strategy - being indirect while thinking she was being direct.

Sportacus got a lot of oranges for a couple weeks before realizing she was trying to flirt with him.

😑: How easily do they get jealous and how do they handle it?

Doc Ock x Luminous:

So the funny thing is both get jealous, and handle it very differently; Doc gets territorial while Luminous gets self-conscious. Otto tends to become much more aggressively flirty and hands-on when he's making a point - not to the point of being threatening, but enough that the back off is heard loud and clear.

Lo, meanwhile, tries to improve herself - styling her hair, dressing more provocatively - and Otto has to scoop her up and dote on her until she's reassured that she's the only one for him.

Neither ever takes it out on the other, though. That's not the kind of relationship they have.

Miss Naomi x Sportacus

This is such a complete non-issue it's not even funny. Naomi trusts Sportacus too much to ever get jealous and, like, the absolute biggest risk is Robbie getting roped into a sickeningly sweet throuple. There is zero concern about potential rivals for their affection on either side.

[musekicker]

Krinkle absolutely shipped the monkeys. Wouldn't put him past shipping Spova religiously. Probably had fantasies on how he would help Sprx confess his feelings to Nova and pat himself on the back for being the best wingmanTM. Man would type a whole research paper about Antauri and Mandari's relationship and probably wrote a ton of angst fanfics about it on the side. Gibson and Otto would be on his radar too but the two are most likely the last ship he'd think about considering the above two had more drama to work with, but they weren't safe either.

I don't want to think about what he would think about poly monkeys.

I can entirely see him putting himself in that oh so important wingman role. Fics, research papers, there is absolutely art too. A friend suggested he have a updated shipping chart.

That's a good question about poly monkeys. I think that depends on if it's the all canon monkeys version or the version with Hermes (because, as I discussed with a friend, he would not take Hermes basically being a part of the group well. ))

[quimser]

otto can’t catch a break

[otto-apocalypse]

I don't play Honkai anymore, so can you tell me what he really did in the story and why he's hated so much?

Otto's best friend and most loved person in the world is Kallen Kaslana. Sadly, she died very young, never fully able to live her life her own way. So he set to bring her back to life, and he tried for 500 years, meanwhile he also protected the world from Honkai. He did many questionable things, but ultimately he's more orally grey rather than a vilain. He ends up sacrificing himself, after testing the main characters to see if they're strong enough to defeat Honkai, to alter the Imaginary Tree, holder of all the timelines, to create new branches where Kallen lives. He doesn't even get to meet her. He gives up his own life so she, in a parallel timeline, can live. The thing is, Kallen canonically falls in love with Yae Sakura, who gets corrupted by the Herrscher in the Black Box and Kallen has to kill her, much to her grief. When she returns to Shicksal, she is imprisoned and senteced to death. Otot tries his best to save her, even a deal with his evil sister Risa, a power hungry woman who stops at nothing to get things her own way, even esperimenting on her own people. Sadly Otto's good intentions backfire, and Kallen dies. He mourn her for long time, before embarking in his centuries long quest to give her back the life he thinks she deserves. The problem is that the fandom is OBSESSED with the ship YaeKallen, and calls Otto a "lesbianchaser", a man who goes after a lesbian girl with romantic and/or sexual intentions. But Otto isn't any of that. He never confesses his love to her, nor it's confirmed that it's a romantic kind of love. He's just extremely supportive of her and whever her choices are (aside from the choice to die) In one of the events, Sanka Saga, it's shown pretty well. It's a What If? where Kallen becomes kinda immortal like Otto and for 500 years it's her who tries to revive her lost love, Sakura. Otto doesn't appear directly but he's mentioned as the Shicksal Overseer living in Europe and funding every try Kallen does to revive Sakura. While it's a What If? it's canon that this is what COULD'VE happened. Otto is always show as supportive, like the best wingman ever, helping that Kallen without asking for anything in return, and as long as she's safe, he's perfectly fine with her living abroad (he's in Europe and she's in japan) and being in love with someone else. Not exactly the behavior you'd associate with someone who just want to get together with the girl, isn't it? This is just one instance of the canon facts of the game what get completely ignored in favor of a bashing of Otto. The arguments are always "You can't like Otto because Kallen is in love with Sakura" which already makes no sense since Otto fans are not always OttoKallen shippers; "Otto wants to get together with Kallen" which is false, as he only proposes her to marry him when she's been condemned to freaking DEATH and that's his LAST attempt to save her life (which she refuses), and he even says that he knows the marriage would be fake and that he's perfectly fine with it being fake as long as she's safe.

Another argument is that "he did bad things so he's bad". Which might be marginally true, but lose all and any valid point when one of the most beloved characters is Sirin. Sirin. Who's the Herrscher on the side of Honkai and tries to exterminate humanity. But since she's a girl, she gets a pass for it and people call her their "pretty mew mew who did nothing wrong". This argument can be summarized in: misandry. There's no other explanation. When a gender does something and it's perfectly fine, then another gender does the same thing but that is bad, that's double standard, and it's sexist. In this case, misandrist. Some even started affirming that "Kallen hates Otto" when in the very game they claim to love, in one of the "latest" chapters (as they came out at the very beginning of this year) we discover a letter Kallen wrote to Otto where she explains that she realizes that her absolute points of view were wrong and that she, too, is a flawed human being. During her time with Sakura, she relizes that what che criticized in Otto, being willing to sacrifice everything else for her, is what she's now doing for Sakura. So, affirming that Kallen hates Otto means that not only they don't know about Kallen and Otto's story, but not even Kallen and Yae's! I posted here the screenshots of that letter so you can read it easily. Otto is not a perfectly good character. In truth, no one is, and that's fine. It's 3D characters that make a story interesting. And his is very interesting. I suggest you to read the manga and play the game, even only the story. Elan Palatinus is the backstory of Kallen and Otto, and it sheds a lot of light on their relationship. In the end, one can dislike Otto, and that's fine. But the amount of hate he got and still gets, the harassment his fans have to suffer, are totally unjustified.

[aquato-family-circus]

I like to think about how Helmut and Bob started dating. On one hand I could imagine it being a super sweet moment and just the cutest shit ever. On the other I could imagine it being something dumb like “Oh by the way Otto told me while I was helping him and Compton with stuff”

all the possibilities delight me

one I've been thinking abt is Otto confronts Bob about how he's been avoiding Helmut for like a week or two now and says to Bob "Either you tell him how you feel or I'm your new wingman and that is a threat"

[presidenthades]

What was Daemon and Alicent's marital bed like? In this universe, does she get a husband who cares about her pleasure?

I think this Ask and a few others are all related to the “Daemon marries Alicent and is the Targbros’ dad/wingman” AU I’ve been brainstorming/joking about, so I’ll just consolidate the other questions here.

What tips did Alicent, Daemon, Otto give Aegon to win over Jace?

If their plans work out, what kind of in-laws will Daemon and Alicent be?

Marital bed: It definitely helps that Daemon is healthy and fit (especially compared to Viserys), and Episode 1 Alicent seems attracted to him on a surface-level at least. Daemon tries his best to torment his father-in-law Otto; ensuring that Otto knows that Alicent enjoys sex with Daemon is probably one way to accomplish that.

Wingman tips: Alicent and Otto tell Aegon he needs to appear respectable if he wants a chance at wooing Jace. Daemon tells Aegon all the ways to very sneakily seduce a princess. Aegon somehow successfully follows both schools of advice.

In-laws: Alicent has every reason to want to get along with her daughter(s)-in-law in this universe, so she would be cordial. I can’t imagine Daemon becoming super close to the girls. He’d be very triumphant about managing to marry all his sons to them, which unfortunately gives him something in common with Otto.

[georgiapeach30513]

actual pov of Uncy Bwade and Hawwy when it’s girls’ night 😹

- floof

This is a POV when Otto couldn’t talk 😆 once he started talking, if he didn’t want to be wingman, it wasn’t going to end well for them. And Harry and Blade took advantage of how the girls always flocked to Otto. Especially when one of them had him strapped to them. That kid has been a Mr. Steal Your Girl for life.

[foxymoxynoona]

so crazy theory: what if Otto constantly steals jungkook’s shoe and pisses on it to prevent jungkook from leaving so he’ll stay with bronwen because Otto somehow can sense that jungkook is her baby daddy 😂😂

i totally based this half-baked theory on a story ive heard somewhere of this guy who had a dog that would just constantly steal this one of the girl’s shoes and hide it somewhere in the house every time she came over that she thought the dog must hate her but as it turns out the dog somehow knew the guy was (maybe not so) secretly in love with her and so the dog took it upon himself to play wingman for his dada trying to prevent her from ever leaving 🤣🤣🤣

That is so cuuuuuuute. I really love stories about pets deciding a new person needs to stay. Just as cute as human child doing it!

Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia Watch Episode 32 Hiss Hiss Bang Bang

*Hiss in Goblins*

Oh, hey a movie theater. We had that back in 2016

Random cat.

Let’s just skip this part and forget it happened.

“My stupid alarm”

“Ah! My stupid alarm!”

“I love you! I love you!”

“Cold, cold, cold!”

“I love cold water!”

“I love hot water even more!” Things Jim miss.

“Ugh”

“Did i put salt in instead of sugar?” It’s a common mistake.

“Everything okay?”

“Are you kidding?”

“Everything is great!”

Wait you mean to tell that they didn’t fix that from literally 30 episodes ago?

“It feels good to be back!”

“Back? Back from where?” You know from Super Mega Turbo Troll Hell.

“Have you talked to him about it?”

“No”

“It has to come from you” But why Toby? I really don’t think it’ll matter.

“He just got out of the Darklands” Okay i did the math (Not really) and came up with another timeline. Today would be Monday, which means the end of last episode was a Sunday and the events of last episode and episode 30 was a Saturday. Then episode 29 was Friday, but the beginning part where they try to capture Otto was a Thursday night. Then episode 28 was a Wednesday, but the beginning of the episode was the same day as episode 27 which happened on a Tuesday. There’s my timeline theory.

“He needs time to recover”

“Whoo!”

“Check this out!”

“Seems fine to me” Agree.

“Well, uh, since you’ve been gone, Claire found a faster way”

“Pssh! Come on. Faster than the canals?”

“Whoo-hoo!” Way faster than the canals.

“Good ol Arcadia Oaks High!”

“I wonder what we’ll learn today”

“He’s clearly not fine”

“Who in their right mind looks forward to school?” Adrien Agreste does.

“Jim!”

“You’re back! Oh! You’re alive!”

“Yep, could still be contagious”

“Move along, Eli”

“Bye, Jim!”

“Gonna wash my hands now” See? Eli understands to always wash your hands.

“You also missed two weeks of homework”

“Don’t hate us”

“Hate you?”

“Are you kidding?”

“I love homework!” Okay, now there’s a problem.

“There’s something fishy going on in this lake”

“Ahh!” “I even missed you”

“The ol Palchuk”

This show continues to remind us that Toby is a furry.

“I’m allergic to flowers” And i’m allergic to Spring.

“First, you really like me”

“Then, i hardly see you” Then he cheats on you for your best friend’s ear. He’s a scumbag.

“Things are all back to the way they were”

“Yep”

“Back to square one” Miraculous Ladybug.

“Aren’t you going to stop him, wingman?”

*Sniffs in Troll*

“Uh, what’s up with Aaarrrgghh?”

“Leave him”

“Since he’s returned from death”

“his sense of smell has been curiously heightened”

“He’s been sniffing everything for hours” “So, he’s Tanjiro now?”

“‘I’m sure there’s been tons of stuff piling up for us to take care of now that i’m back”

“Actually, Claire and i kinda took care of that stuff”

“while you were gone” Where are Toby and Claire’s Bizarre Adventure?

Nice staff.

“Are you sure nothing followed you on your return?”

“Draal never left his post guarding the Bridge”

Yeah, he didn’t.

“I’ve put my neck out far enough for you ungrateful fools”

“Any further, and she’ll be sure“

“to lop my head right off. Like the Grim Reaper that she is” “Vendel, Usurna is not the Grim Reaper” “Yes she is!”

“Goblins?”

“We haven’t seen any of those in months” Besides last episode, Jim and the others haven’t seen any goblins. Only in the first half of season 1 did they fight goblins (Hell Episode 12 was the only time Claire’s met them) but never seen any during the second half.

“Huh, smell poop”

“Ew!”

“Blegh”

“Double ew” Now the term “Eat shit” won’t work on him cause he actually did it.

“Contrary to their name, blood goblins are white” You said “Contrary to their name” Blood is red, not white. Or are trolls blood white?

“But you weren’t the only one in there”

“Nomura was with you”

“Nomura skipped town as soon as we got out. She called a taxi, got in and yelled “LATER BITCHES!” and left. She’s long gone”

“What do you want?”

“Huh? Uh?”

“There’s no one here”

Pretty flowers.

“Happy fun time begin!”

“Nice job!”

“Celebrations!” Should’ve let them play video games.

Five Nights At Freddy’s.

“Why did you go into the Darklands without us?”

“Wait, what?”

“We found the amulet together”

“we trained together”

“we killed Angor Rot together!”

“And then you just left us”

“Wait is this how you all feel?”

“You promised we’d get my brother”

“together”

“After everything we’d been through”

”You said it was Trollhunters”

“Not Trollhunter”

“Trollhunters!”

“not Trollhunter”

“Yeah”

“Gunmar wanted revenge for killing his son”

“The amulet chose me to protect you”

“We protect each other!”

“When i saw Aaarrrgghh die...”

“I... I couldn’t bear losing any more of you”

“I just wish everything could go back”

”to the way things were”

“When everything was... normal”

“We’re in a fireworks warehouse?”

“So cool!” As long as there’s no fire we’ll be fine.

“For the doom of Gunmar-”

“Wrong one!”

“Little rusty”

“For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command!” Well it has been a while.

“Oh, boy! Fireworks fire!”

“Do we put it out? Or do we see what happens?”

*Blows in Troll*

“Oh, hm...”

“See what happens” Translation: “Both”

“Stand back!”

“Ugh! Useless!”

“Or not” It has some use.

“Behold!”

“Our dreams”

“and nightmares”

“are uniting!”

“HAHAHAHA!” Toby has lost it.

“Ow!”

“Hot!” Sonic the Gnome (2006)

“Ew!”

“It died on me!”

“Circle of life” And it rules us all!

“Did anything else escape the Darklands?”

“Yes”

“Who else got out?”

“Gunmar?”

“DID GUNMAR ESCAPE?”

Of course.

“Oh...“

“Oh...”

Well, if the ring fits.

“But shall we return to Trollmarket?”

“I feel uncomfortable feeding the gnome’s delusions”

“Yeah, this is getting real awkward” Real awkward.

“All that time... I had forgotten there were stars. If only me daughter Pearl was here to see them with me”

“What manner of metal monster was that?” It’s called a truck.

“Mr. Krabs! It’s me, Spongebob!”

“Spongebob me boy, is that you?”

“Yeah! It’s great to see you finally back to the Grusty Gumm!”

“And has Plankton gotten his hands on the Gummy Patty’s secret formula?” “Of course not! I’ve been protecting for a long time” “Good. Arg-arg-arg-arg-arg!” “Baa-haa-haa-haa-haa!” “Arg-arg-arg-arg-arg!” “Baa-haa-haa-haa-haa!”

Hey, did you know there was a book that takes place between this and next episode? But who cares about that?

Cause we get the Clone Wars.

MUNDUNGUS FLETCHER is TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD and a PETTY CRIMINAL in DIAGON ALLEY in LONDON. He looks remarkably like ROBERT SHEEHAN and considers himself aligned with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. He is currently OPEN. 

→ OVERVIEW:

tw: child abuse, death, murder

Born into a world far too dark, Mundungus’ only shining light was that of his older brother BUCKLEY FLETCHER. Three years his senior Buckley took to the role of protector exceptionally well, hiding him from the very people that brought him into the world to begin with. GILLIAN GREY had swept CHRISTOPHER FLETCHER off his feet with bouts of beautiful magic and had quickly fallen pregnant with Buckley without really realising the type of man she was about to spend her life with. After the birth of his first son Chrostopher turned cold and hard, using Gillian for her magic and neglecting Buckley completely, insisting that his weak-willed wife do the same. After three years of a sham marriage the couple tried to bring back the original spark by cruelly bringing another child into their family. Mundungus was a noisy baby, constantly crying through the night for the first week, this changed however when Buckley had realised that his parents didn’t care enough to check up on the baby, and so he himself would crawl into Mundungus’ crib each night to comfort the boy. From that day on Buckley never let Mundungus out of his sight, he was fed by him, changed by him and slept by his side every evening. It soon became clear that Mundungus was not the magic key the Fletcher’s needed to spark up their romance again and instead it added fuel to Christophers fire. The very thing that intrigued Chrostopher about Gillian was now the main cause of his annoyance, the once fascinating and intriguing magic now caused him to be jealous and cruel, annoyed with his lot in life, wanting more than ever to have magic himself he took it out on his now slightly older children. 

His silent looks and ignorance to their cries of help turned into vicious words and alcohol fueled swings of his hand, all the while his wife sat idly by, unwilling or uncaring to do much for their plight. As Christopher got worse Buckley took on more and more of a protector role to Mundungus, whenever their father was angry Dung would be pushed behind the legs of his brother, allowing him to take the brunt of the anger because he didn’t know any better, his way of thanks would be caring for Buckley in the aftermath, washing cuts and icing black eyes, both boys would then crawl back in to their shared bed and hold on to one another for dear life as the tears fell. This all changed however when Gillian plucked up the courage and tried to leave Christopher, he came across her one evening after the pub with suitcases in hand and locked her in the house taking her wand as he did so. Then turning on the boys Mundungus was once again pushed behind his brother, watching as the monstrous man he refused to call his father beat his older brother black and blue. He watched the only person he had ever loved fall, as if in slow motion to the ground, his small-framed malnutritioned body finally giving up on him leaving Mundungus alone for the first time in his life. ALBUS DUMBLEDORE had been watching the family closely, but never expected the situation to become that dire, and so immediately swooped in and removed Mundungus from the house his brother had died in. He was left in the care of a family close to the Dumbledores, HAROLD and FAUNA RAKEPICK took him in as one of their own, showing him more love and affection than he could have ever dreamed off. 

After a few weeks of silence he allowed the Rakepicks daughter PATRICIA to bring him back out of himself, he clung to her the same way he clung to his brother, but now they had nothing to be scared off so instead they laughed together and pranked her parents, a happy change from cowering in the corner. Coming out of his shell with Patricia meant that when their letters from Hogwarts came he saw it as an opportunity to start over properly, show himself as the hilarious prankster he had become rather than the shy scared boy of his past. Vowing to leave the trauma of his childhood behind him being sorted into Gryffindor with Patricia was the perfect opportunity to do so, quickly making friends with fellow trouble-makers DOMACLES BELBY and GRIFFITH VANE. The group of four Gryffindos wreaked more havoc on the school than anybody else, spending any spare moment pulling practical jokes and sneaking out into the forbidden forest. Where Patricia could lead this mifit gang and also keep her grades up, Mundungus could not, and so the addition of the two Ravenclaws GRACE EDGECOMBE and OTTO BAGMAN to their group was perfect as Otto helped toe the line between creating chaos and keeping up with the increasing pile of homework they were all receiving. 

That isn’t to say that Otto didn’t enjoy a little fun of their own, in fact they got Mundungus involved in a little game they liked to play. As the youngest in their family Otto didn’t have the pressure of the family name weighing above their head, and so to celebrate this fact they had turned into somewhat of a thief over the years. Bringing Dung into their game was a big risk on Otto’s part, but one that paid off, both students gained an unmatched thrill from taking what was not theirs and you would often find the pair holed up in the room of lost things looking at their stolen treasures. It’s not that the pair needed the items, both being rich beyond measure, it was all about the thrill of the game and soon Mundungus had lost sight of the boy he once was, making way for a selfish, spontaneous man who always took what he wanted. Another thing that Mundungus wanted but didn’t need was the attention of RITA SKEETER. An intriguing Ravenclaw  who he knew was only using him for his connections to Patricia and her schemes, wanting to run them in her Hogwarts gossip column. Using her just the same he had many flings through his years at Hogwarts, but Rita’s was constant, not because they particularly cared for each other’s company, more because they both got what they needed from one another and not a bit more. 

Leaving school with average grades he took up residence in a flat in Diagon alley with Otto, allowing the Bagman family to buy it outright the pair didn’t have to worry about rent and so Mundungus took up the job of full time petty criminal. Knowing he could have anything he desired with one floo call to the Rakepicks was a reassuring plan B but not wanting to take one more knut from the family that cared more for him than his own he used his own skills of looting to fuel his lifestyle.One could argue that the man should just get a job, but Mundungus had learnt through his friendship with Otto that he liked having the finer things in life, but also loved doing the bare minimum to achieve this. Flaunting the expensive clothes and accessories that he has previously stolen has led to CORALINE HEATHER, a gorgeous vampire working at Fair Faribault’s to take an interest in him. Knowing the reputation of those working in the establishment to seek out those of the highest means Mundungus has led the beauty to believe he is rich beyond belief, stealing her jewelry and taking her out to fancy meals in order to string her along. Another budding relationship comes in the form of ERIK BORGIN, a Pure-Blood elite and assistant to a shop he had attempted to steal from had decided to let Mundungus off in exchange for him being a wingman to the boy, now the pair can be seen in all the bars of Diagon Alley every Saturday evening trying to impress any witch or wizard that would have them. On occasion when both men strike out they have been known to go home together, Erik preferring the company of wizards and Mundungus not being picky either way. 

Although Mundungus lives a life of crime he also has a heart of gold, so when Albus Dumbledore turned up on his doorstep with an invitation to join the Order of the Phoenix he couldn’t deny the Professor. Feeling like he owed his entire life to the man he would do anything for him and so joining the Order was an easy decision. He also felt that the invitation to join the Order was Dumbledore’s way of getting him on the straight and narrow - the old man could dream. Joining however meant becoming close with certain aurors who he had previously had scrapes with, one in particular being KINGSLEY SHAKLEBOLT who although they started off slightly awkward as Kingsley had been the first auror to ever arrest Mundungus they were now close friends. Working for the Order has brought purpose to Mundungus’ life that he has never had before, particularly excelling in sleuthing behaviour and stealing important information for them his tasks often include sneaking around which he obviously enjoys immensely. Making connections through the Order has also meant that certain aurors who are also sympathetic to the cause let him slip through their grasps if they ever come across him acting in a slightly unbecoming manner, it has done wonders for his collection of stolen treasures and also his rap sheet.

MUNDUNGUS FLETCHER IS A LEVEL 5 WIZARD.

[angerydj]

Even though Goblin doesn't love Otto, is he protective of him?

In a way he doesn’t particularly care for him but will definitely act as a sort of strange wingman. Like Norman is horrible at affection and doesn’t realize it so Gobby will scold him telling him to hold ottos hand or ask how his day was or some shit, and ofc the lil gesture goes a long way and gobby can JUSR act as possessive as Norman so if he considers Otto ‘belongs’ to Norman he’s gonna watch out for him

He doesn’t mind Otto at first cause gobby and Norman have agreemeants like “if I leave you alone with Otto I get full control the next night.” To do crime shit.

Then ofc Norman expresses how deep he’s falling for Otto and gobby doesn’t like it

CHILDREN OF LILITH CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Griffin swore inwardly at himself. He needed to get a grip, now.

Leaning his forearms against the edge of the bar, he ordered a double scotch and downed it before the bartender had a chance to leave. He ordered another.

Nikki’s voice reverberated in his skull, looping the words she’d shouted at Tory minutes before. You think this is easy? You think he likes this?

She’d defended him, publicly challenged another Hunter on his behalf, and he had no fucking clue why.

Maybe you have a little clue why… A small voice told him.

Even locked in their cage, the dogs had caught the emotional scent trail and it had driven them mad. Underneath the anger and frustration was a heavier, richer emotion that sent him reeling. The hints of it, the lingering sensation of it around her made his chest constrict so painfully he couldn’t take a full breath.

And then she’d started to turn to him with warmth in her eyes, no longer seeing him as both an insurmountable stone tower and the beast inside it.

Her bravery terrified him.

“You want another?” The bartender asked.

Griffin blinked down at his empty glass. When had he finished it?

“Yeah,” he said with a nod.

A strong hand clapped him on the shoulder, making him jerk.

“This round is on me,” Otto announced with a beaming smile.

It took Griffin a moment to catch up, but by the time he had Otto’s Visa was already in the bartender’s hand. “You didn’t have to-”

“It’s no problem. Besides, you look like you need about a dozen more of those,” he said, gesturing to Griffin’s drink.

Joel and Brian stepped up next Otto, finishing their conversation before greeting the other two.

Leaning around Otto, Brian nodded to Griffin and said, “Well I gotta say, that’s the first time I’ve been to a gathering where I legitimately thought someone’s eyes were gonna get ripped out.”

“Who Tory?” Otto shook his head. “Nah man, she’s all talk. Thinks she’s better suited for a leadership position than anybody born into it.” At that, Joel snorted and rolled his eyes.

“No, not her. I meant the new girl- ah, Nikki, right?” Brian took a sip from his drink and looked to Griffin. “I thought she was gonna jump over the table and tear Tory’s face off.” He chuckled.

Joel nudged Brian in the arm and said, “Trust me. She wanted to.”

“She was just defending her man,” Otto drawled, winking at Griffin.

Griffin nearly choked on his scotch. “What? No, it’s not like that.”

“Then why are you blushing, O’Connor?” Brian asked with a smirk.

Otto grinned. “So tell me more, tell me more. Did you get very far?”

“Tell me more, tell me more, like does she have a car?” Brian finished.

Joel looked between the two men and deadpanned, “Nobody told me we’d be singing. I would’ve brought my sheet music.”

“I’m in hell,” Griffin muttered, closing his eyes. “I’m officially in hell.”

“Eh, relax O’Connor, we’re just giving you a hard time,” Brian told him, waving over the bartender for another round.

Noticing Joel’s shy smile, Otto cocked his head and followed the man’s line of sight. “And who’s caught your eye?”

Joel glanced down at his drink and then back up through his dark lashes. “That waiter over there’s been vibing me all night,” he said, finishing his beer.

The other three turned their heads in unison, spotting a tall, leaner man with curly brown hair and a silver eyebrow piercing busing a table nearby. As if sensing the attention, he glanced over his shoulder and locked eyes with Joel before flushing and turning away.

Setting his glass down, Otto straightened to his full height, puffing out his chest. “Well alright then. Need me to be your wingman?”

Joel stared at him blank faced. “I’m good.”

“Your call. This guy better be good enough for you though.”

“Yeah, ‘cause I’m really looking for someone to bring home to mom,” Joel intoned, rolling his eyes.

As Joel strode away, Otto called out, “Be sure to use protection!”

“You have no shame, do you?” Brian asked.

“None whatsoever,” Otto agreed as he finished his drink. “Why else would I be seen with you fools?”

“Oh, very nice. I can really feel the love,” Brian said, shoving Otto in the shoulder.

While the two verbally sparred, Griffin drained the contents of his glass and motioned for refill. Turning, he scanned the growing crowd, searching for familiar waves of dark auburn and shimmering cobalt blue. The back of his neck began to crawl and the dogs stirred, sensing that something wasn’t right. Each breath came quicker than the last, his blood pounding in his eardrums.

Where was Nikki?

“Hey, Griffin, you okay?” Otto asked from behind him.

“I can’t… I don’t see her,” he said, barely able to hear his own voice.

Otto frowned. “Who? Nikki?” He tapped Griffin’s shoulder, bringing his head around. “Relax chief, she’s over there.”

Griffin stared in the direction Otto pointed and all the air left his lungs in a rush. At the other end of the bar, squeezed in between Tasha and Ava, was Nikki. Her smile was bright as a bartender handed her a drink and she laughed at something Tasha said to them both. She was safe.

Head swimming, Griffin leaned against the bar and screwed his eyes shut.

Pull it together, he thought. You can’t do this. Not now, not ever. You’ve gotta get a grip.

When he lifted his lids, Otto was eyeing him with concern.

“Yeah…” He nodded to Griffin’s drink. “You’re definitely gonna need twelve more of those.”

Perched atop a section of cross beams in the rafters, Serena stared down at the swarm of bodies beneath her. Her nose filled with the heavy scent of sweat and alcohol wafting up from the undulating mass. On any other night, it would have been a turn on, but now it only irritated her. It masked the scent she really wanted- the one she craved.

Dark hair and broad shoulders caught her attention as they cut through the crowd, heading for the bar.

There’s my boy…

Griffin was looking unsteady, but he wasn’t drunk- not yet anyway. He walked slower when he was hammered. It was his tell.

Serena watched him chug three glasses of scotch and almost laughed. Something had her boy in a tizzy. She might not need the Ketamine after all.

Other Hunters joined Griffin at the bar, chatting and nodding to the small area enclosed by red curtains. With considerable effort given the loud music pumping from speakers all around her, Serena honed in on the men’s conversation, too curious not to.

“…The new girl- ah, Nikki right?”

Serena bit down on the inside of her cheek to keep from hissing.

The taller one next to Griffin looked pleased as he said, “She was just defending her man.”

Putrid, venomous rage coursed through every vein and nerve ending in Serena’s body.

Her man? That human bitch had no right to claim him. She’d known him three days. Serena had curled inside the hollow shell of his torso like he was a burrow. She’d marked him, carved her name on his ribs and stained it with her blood. Griffin was hers.

She’d make her metaphor a reality. She’d slice him open and brand him every way she could before tearing his throat out.

* * *

Nikki had just taken her drink from the bartender when someone tapped her arm from behind. Turning, she saw Emma with Tory close behind her.

“Hi,” Emma greeted with a small wave. “I hope we’re not bothering you.”

“Not at all,” Nikki said, glancing at Tasha. “We were just waiting for a good song to come on so we could go dance.”

An unsure smile flashed across Emma’s face and she ducked her head. “I’m sorry, I’m not very good at this. Holly’s usually the one who deals with…” She trailed off, her gaze flicking behind her.

Angling back against the bar, Tasha pegged a firm stare on Tory. “Why don’t you say your piece Tory, instead of rehearsing it in your head like a damn audio loop?”

The woman made a face like she was offended by the intrusion and Tasha relented. “You’re right, that wasn’t fair. Sorry. Blame it on the alcohol.” She said, tilting her glass.

“It’s fine,” Tory said, pressing her lips firmly together.

Nikki blinked and shook her head. Telepathy was something she was going to have to get used to.

Tasha leaned in and said, “Don’t worry. You do.”

“Oh. Good to know.” Facing Tory again, Nikki focused. “What was it you wanted to say?”

Tory bit the corner of her lip before she spoke. “I wanted to apologize,” she said, lifting her eyes to Nikki’s. “For everything I said back there. It… wasn’t the proper way to conduct myself at a gathering…” She glanced at Emma before finishing. “Or in front of our leader. I’m sorry.”

Nikki considered her a moment. “I appreciate that,” she said. “I think you should also say it to Griffin.”

She ignored the imploring stare coming from Tasha aimed at her temple.

Tory nodded in earnest. “I will.”

“Good,” Nikki said, offering a smile. “Then apology accepted.”

For the first time to Nikki’s knowledge, Tory’s expression lightened and the tension in her shoulders faded. “Thank you.”

“You girls want a drink?” Tasha asked, finishing her martini and jerking her head at the bartender.

“God yes,” Emma groaned, making Tasha laugh.

“Being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, huh?”

Emma shook her head, red waves falling over her shoulders. “I’m counting the hours until Holly gets back.”

With the other women conversing, Nikki felt her mind wander, something tugging her to the other end of the bar. When she looked, Griffin was in her eye line, standing with Otto and Brian. She only stared for a moment but in that time his shoulders had started to bunch like he could sense she was watching.

And if he could sense it, he didn’t seem particularly happy about it.

Pressing her lips together in a hard line, Nikki turned her back on him and took a long sip from her drink. It was then she realized Tory had said something to her.

“Sorry, what?”

“I asked if you knew about the Underground before… everything,” Tory said, gesturing with her hand.

“Oh, uh, no. No, I had no idea,” Nikki replied, shaking her head. “I thought Vampires were just in horror movies and romance novels.”

“Kind of a shock, huh?”

“Definitely.” Nikki looked up from her drink to see Tory staring curiously at her. “What is it?”

“Sorry, I just… I thought your eyes were blue,” Tory said, blinking.

Nikki frowned. “They are blue.”

“Oh, then it must be the lights or something.” Tory chuckled at herself. “They look really bright green… almost gold.”

The floor rocked under Nikki’s feet and her stomach swooped down. Heat rushed over her, pricking her skin. Something was wrong…

“Would you excuse me a minute?” She said, leaving her drink on the bar. “I’ll be…right back.”

Tasha had turned to ask if she was alright but Nikki had hurried away before the woman could stop her.

The outer edges of her vision darkened and panic brought the sour taste of bile to the back of her throat. She needed to find the ladies room.

Everyone around her was jumping and swaying to the overwhelming beat of the music, creating a thick jungle of limbs she wasn’t sure she had the strength to push through. The neon lights overhead flashed with the tempo, disorienting her so badly she could only go where the mass of people shoved her. Catching her heel on something, she stumbled, almost falling into one of the raised stages where two contortionists were balanced.

“Nikki?” Someone shouted over the music, grabbing her arm.

Whirling around, she sagged in relief as Boz’s face was highlighted in bright blue followed by a white strobe light.

Holding her steady, he asked, “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

“I’m… I’m fine,” she gasped, knowing she didn’t sound convincing. “I just need a bathroom.”

“It’s over here. I’ll take you,” he said, supporting her as they forced their way off the dance floor.

He helped her to the small inset corridor where the restrooms were and opened the ladies room door. “I can stay with you if-”

“No, that’s alright. I’ll be fine.”

He scowled. “Nikki, you don’t-”

“I’m fine, Boz, really,” she said. “Thank you.”

“Okay, but do you want me to get Grif-”

She firmly shut the door on his question and rushed to the nearest sink. Water, she needed water.

Fumbling with the tap, she hunched over and cupped her hand, bringing water to her mouth.

“Are you alright?”

Startled, Nikki coughed, spraying the faucet. Looking up, she caught the woman’s reflection in the mirror as she closed the stall door and strode towards the row of sinks.

“Sorry,” the other woman said. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Nikki forced air into her lungs as she shut off the tap. “No, it’s okay. I just didn’t realize there was anyone else in here.”

“Had too much to drink?” The woman asked as she washed her hands. Her blonde hair fell around her face beautifully and her ice blue eyes were enough to stun Nikki into silence for a heartbeat.

“Oh, uh, no,” Nikki replied. “I just… got too warm.”

“I wish I knew what that was like,” the woman mused, staring at her reflection. “I’m always too cold.”

Her voice was distant, almost hollow, and there was something about her Nikki couldn’t place. Had she met her before? Maybe she’d been a customer at Rush?

Pulling a tube of red lipstick from her pocket, the woman leaned over the sink and puckered her lips. “Well I hope you’re not sick,” she said as she replaced the cap. Edging her finger under her bottom lip, she glanced at Nikki in the mirror. “That would really be bad luck.”

“I think I’ll be alright,” Nikki said, leaning into the counter to steady herself.

The woman shifted her weight and Nikki caught the flash of pink at her feet. Her shoes were Dolce and Gabbana pumps…A pair just like Kaelin’s.

“You like them?” She asked, catching Nikki spying.

“Yes, they’re very beautiful.”

“I just got them the other day.” She leaned over and stage whispered, “I got them used.” Smiling, she straightened and extended her right foot. “But you can’t really tell. Can you?”

“No, they’re...” Nikki paused, noticing a tiny black smudge near the heel. An ink stain… From when Kaelin stepped on a cheap pen someone had dropped during a board meeting. She’d called Nikki on her break to rant about the agonizing pain she’d bring down on the idiot that never learned to pick up after themselves.

“They look fine,” Nikki finished. It was the same thing she’d told Kaelin when she saw her after the inking incident.

Meeting the woman’s gaze, Nikki felt another flash of unbearable heat but she held strong.

“I thought so too,” the woman continued, voice sweet like peppermint. Giving herself one last check in the mirror, she fluffed her blonde hair and licked her lips. “Well, I guess I better get out there and break these babies in.” She tapped her toe happily before starting for the door.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name,” Nikki said, pushing away from the sink.

The woman stopped and tossed her hair over her shoulder. “Serena.”

With her hand on the doorknob, she turned, an amused smirk curving her mouth. “And tell our boy I said hello.”

She winked and disappeared into the club, leaving Nikki in her wake.

“Oh my God.”

It was her.

She was the Vampire who tried to kill Kaelin.

And she was inside Onyx.
