Hello! <3 (Please, don't feel pressured to write this! You can delete this if it pressures you, I really REALLY won't mind!!!)

I was wondering if I could request a Part 2 for the Yandere Scorpio fic, where MC is saved. :") It's been a year since I read this and I'm still thinking about it. I was thinking like... Leon doing something to save her, since he's the strongest of them anyway. And Scorpio would be piiiiissed that it's Leon of all people too who saves the Reader from him lol. If there's going to be a romantic Reader × Leon happy ending is up to you though. I won't pressure you!!!!

Also, if you think this request is insulting towards you as a writer, I'm DEEPLY DEEPLY sorry!!! I didn't mean any offense or that you should alter your story!!! I'm sorry if I came out bossy, it's my first time sending in a request and I'm already writing so much it's practically an essay, I'M SO SORRY!!! GOOD DAY!! <3 YOU'RE VERY TALENTED BTWWWW

Scorpio II~ Safety

Synopsis: Finally locating MC in the Under Realm, the Zodiac Gods are able to coordinate a rescue and get her back to the safety of the mansion. Leon’s arms are possibly the safest place MC could be.

🩸Yandere Masterlist🩸 Female goldfish!

A/n: I love my weirdo lion! Of course he can save you! I’d be biased, having Leon save me from every Yandere because he’s the most powerful King. I’m glad you said it and not me. I definitely don’t take any offense to any suggestions in my inbox—even if it’s toward one of my AUs. I often get a lot of the “You wrote a scary fic about my hubby! Fix it!” So then I end up making a fix-it-fic, not to fix the canon, but to fix a character I broke with angst. Your ask was just fine, love! I think authors who have the ability to both break and fix things are pretty cool. But let me tell you now! I’m not afraid of a happy ending as much as I love my angst! I like taking care of my readers too. Besides, I just had surgery on my ovaries; I need fluffy love too so I can recover! So I definitely didn’t include too much of Scorpio’s psycho darkness this round and we made it to our destination! —A note, just in case the first half seemed drastically different from the second half, I wrote half of this and then wrote the second half after I took one of my pain medicines. So part of the writing was me awake and in pain, and the other part was me half asleep and feeling good.

–Word Count: 4,447–

Dark… It was always dark here. I don’t remember ever seeing the sun rising or setting. There was no sun. I’d never seen a moon either.

It wasn’t pitch black, but it wasn’t bright enough to see beyond these castle grounds.

Scorpio still never told me where we were—not that it mattered. There was no way home from here; he reassured me of that. Just based on my surroundings, I was also convinced that home was better served as a happy memory.

Of course, if I had to guess, I’d say I was in the Under Realm. It was the best guess I could come up with—the only thing that made sense. Why else wouldn’t the other gods be able to find me? Based on their panic when I was taken away, I had to hope that they wouldn’t have just given up on me.

I couldn’t get that image out of my head. I’d never seen Leon scared before… but his expression was engraved in my memories. Despite how none of this was my fault, I felt guilty for the trouble I was putting the Zodiac gods through. Then again, maybe they were fine without me, or maybe they were stressed out trying to find me.

Well, pretending they cared about what happened to me was something of a comfort.

I never knew where Scorpio went for days on end. I just knew that he wasn’t anywhere around—which was a bit of a relief for me. During that time, I had no choice but to deal with my loneliness on my own terms, but at least I was safe from the physical pain.

It was peaceful, at least—what I’d come to refer to as peaceful, anyway. Anytime Scorpio was gone was a peaceful moment. A time to rest, sleep, eat and recover; all while waiting for the next bout of suffering.

Sitting alone in the candle-lit kitchen where I ate my tasteless meal, I heard a rustling noise move throughout the castle. I paused for a moment, making sure my overactive imagination wasn’t playing tricks on me again.

But no. There were footsteps padding through the halls. I let out a disappointed sigh.

Scorpio was back…

I quickly put away the food that I was eating, quietly putting away the plate as well, before I walked back over to my room. Above all else, I knew better than to let Scorpio hunt for me—the sadistic bastard enjoyed it too much. And if he enjoyed it, I was bound and determined to make sure it didn’t happen.

Making sure I was already chained up when he arrived was just one of the horrors I’d learned to spare myself of. Oftentimes, things were less terrifying when I didn’t cause him any extra work.

I couldn’t help but wonder what must be going through his head today. He was taking his time getting to my room. I sighed softly, closing my eyes as I tried to push back all the intrusive thoughts that told me today was going to be one of the bad days.

All I could imagine was that this was some kind of psychological game. After all, being chained up in a dark castle… hearing the thuds of boots echoing down the hall… hearing the occasional door creak open… anticipating the pain that was just moments away… it was all terrifying, wasn’t it?

Finally, the footsteps stopped just outside of my door and I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing that just this one time could be different.

The door creaked open, but there was no immediate sound, no immediate indication that Scorpio was even there.

“(Name)...!”

Wait… No… That wasn’t the cold voice of Scorpio that I was used to.

My eyes flashed open, and I stared up at the god that was standing in the door. “P- Partheno…” Or was this some kind of elaborate trick? A joke to lure me into a false sense of security? Maybe it was just a ploy to see if I would immediately try and flee with a familiar face, only for Scorpio to reveal himself and dole out an even crueler punishment-

Breaking through my morbid train of thought, Partheno kneeled beside me on the floor as his eyes darted over my fragile form. His hands reached out, gently searching, checking. Reassured that I wasn’t about to physically fall apart in front of him, he finally looked up to meet my eyes.

Graceful fingers tilted my head up, drawing my dull gaze to him in return. He offered a strained smile, something that was supposed to be comforting. “I’m here,” he reassured, reaching up to caress my hair. “You’ll be okay now. We’re here for you.”

Was I okay? Were the gods really there for me now?

Well, I wasn’t about to ask him that. I was actually too frightened to speak up. After all, I’d become accustomed to keeping quiet around Scorpio, and I wasn’t about to take a chance that this wasn’t some cruel prank.

Seeing that I wasn’t as responsive as he hoped I’d be, Partheno sighed. “It’s okay, darling. I’ll take you back to Earth.”

Darling… Scorpio would never call me that, regardless of any kind of joke. This was Partheno. There were few gods who would ever call me such an endearing term.

Partheno pulled back slightly as I flinched, immediately sitting up from the wall despite the wince of pain that crossed my face upon suddenly moving the way I did. But knowing that this was Partheno and not some other god… not Scorpio… I was desperate to take this opportunity. Taking the key to my chains out from behind the nearby curtains, I frantically fumbled with the cuffs around my wrists, eager to be free.

The chains jingled with my frenzied actions, and Partheno could only kneel there, staring at me in confusion as I popped off each cuff, one at a time. However, I didn’t realize the look he was giving me until I had freed myself, ready to leave. I faltered, fiddling with the key in my hands as I timidly asked, “Are… Are we leaving?”

He blinked back into focus, opening and closing his mouth a few good times before finally asking, “Have you had that key this whole time?”

A hesitant nod.

“Why are you still here?”

“I’m…” I paused uncertainly. “I’m lost?”

“Ah.” Partheno let out the single sound of realization. “Right. The Under Realm.” He offered me his hand with his usual charming smile. “I should get you out of here then.”

I glanced at his offered hand, slowly reaching forward before pulling back slightly. Partheno furrowed his eyebrows, allowing me the time I needed to embrace the fact that he was rescuing me. But that didn’t seem to be what was on my mind as I quietly asked, “Where’s… um…”

“Him?” Partheno asked, knowing better than to speak his name. After all, Scorpio was a sensitive subject—rightfully so. “He isn’t here right now. Traces of his power are all that linger; that’s how I knew to look for you here. The other gods are still searching for his whereabouts. He’s been causing a bit of chaos on Earth, but… Well, I’m sure the other gods would be glad to tell you more if you’re interested. First, let’s get you home, hm?”

Right. I wanted to go home.

Hesitantly, I took his hand in mine, feeling how gentle his touch was. He didn't grab me or pull me along. Rather, he allowed me to take my time. At the very least, he was conscious of my injuries.

Quietly, I asked, “How did you find me here?”

The halls were eerily quiet, echoing only with our footsteps. His voice was equally quiet as he explained, “Truthfully, we were running out of options. Scorpio fled the Heavens with you and we weren't having any luck locating you on Earth. Our only option was to search here. Of course, as much as Leon wanted to be the one to look for you, I was the best choice as far as physically entering the Under Realm went.”

I tilted my head, my curious gaze flickering toward Partheno as he opened the door of the castle. I wasn't surprised it took them so long to find me, yet, one thing he said took me off guard. “L- Leo was looking for me…?”

An amused huff left Partheno’s lips as he regarded me. “He was.” He glanced over me, deciding to test my reaction as he added, “You seem pretty excited. For a Wishes god, he's certainly looking forward to putting Scorpio in his place; Though, that's supposed to be Zyglavis’ job as Minister of Punishments.”

My chest fluttered with excitement as I followed behind him. “I can’t believe he was- Nng-” I faltered, a jolt of pain running through me for the briefest of moments.

Partheno paused, his wide eyes flickering over me as he grabbed my hands. “Are you alright? What is it?” I didn’t get a chance to answer before he seemed to have everything figured out in his head. He quickly tucked me under his arm as he reassured, “It’s fine. It shouldn’t hurt anymore. He set up that barrier to know if you’d have ever tried to escape.”

“He- He knows?” I stuttered.

Fingers curled under my chin as Partheno made me look up at him. “We’ll be long gone before he finds you. Now that we’re out of the castle, I can-”

“Nng-!” Partheno flinched, something sharp jabbing into his shoulder.

“Partheno?” Despite how I turned to check on my savior, his hands rested firmly on my shoulders, keeping me from looking back.

“Is that what you think?” A dark voice drawled, drawing our gazes back to the door of the castle. “You think that’s the reason I set up that barrier?” Scorpio stood in the doorway, his dark eyes glued on us. “I should’ve been more cautious. Of course you’d come down here, demon spawn.”

Partheno’s eyes narrowed at the personal jab. “Is that what you’re so focused on? I’d think someone who chooses to use dark powers would be a bit more self aware.” His grip tightened around me as he raised his hand to snap his fingers.

“Don’t you dare-” Scorpio snapped his fingers first and a wave of dark energy shot out at Partheno.

Of course, holding me against him, this only put me in the path of danger as well. Squeezing my eyes shut, I expected to feel some kind of pain, some kind of searing agony triggered by those dark powers. However, when I opened my eyes, a pink shield separated us from Scorpio.

Placing a comforting hand on my head, Partheno reassured, “He can’t touch you.”

My eyebrows furrowed as I glanced back at Partheno. For some reason, his voice sounded strained, as if he were trying to fight something I couldn’t see. Peering up at him, my eyes flickered to a splotch of red that was slowly seeping into his uniform. “Wait- You’re hurt!”

He didn’t immediately react. He knew he was vulnerable with this injury despite how he was supposed to be protecting me. Seeing my worried gaze, he reassured, “You’ll be fine.”

Another blast of dark power hit the shield that was in front of us, causing Partheno to hold me closer to him. Things weren’t getting better for the two of us. If I wouldn’t have been in the way, Partheno would be able to go all out in a fight. Instead, he was prioritizing my safety over the fight in front of him.

A sharp blade of power pierced through the shield, stopping just before touching us. But the shield was cracking, splintering, shattering. It wouldn’t be long before it was fully broken. Even though Partheno was originally from the Under Realm, he was a god now, and his powers weren’t as strong as they would be in the Heavens.

“Partheno.”

I looked up at the new voice in front of us. Leon was standing before us in his god form, radiating with divine power.

Leon’s sharp gaze left Scorpio as he glanced back at me. His eyes lingered on me before directing his gaze to Partheno and saying, “Go with her. I’ll take care of this.”

“You,” Scorpio hissed, his eyes blazing with hatred. “I won’t let you take her from me.”

An unamused scoff left Leon’s downturned lips. “You don’t have a say over her anymore.” Gesturing for Partheno to take his leave with me, Leon stood firmly between us, blocking off any attacks that would slow us down.

With Leon’s aid, Partheno was able to snap his fingers, safely transporting us back to the mansion.

For a brief moment, my eyes flickered around, getting used to the change in scenery and atmosphere, but no later was my attention back on Partheno. “Wait, but you’re still injured. And what about Leo? He’s all by himself-”

“Leo can handle things,” Karno interrupted me, gently ushering me to the sofa.

There were quite a few gods gathered in the living room, ready for the worst. Luckily, things didn’t seem as bad as they had anticipated. Still, there were injuries that needed assessing, and they were prepared for that much.

Zyglavis and Ichthys were quick to start assessing Partheno’s injury, but I wasn’t allowed to watch. On the sofa, Karno and Huedhaut were quick to start their own check-up over me. Overall, I wasn’t as horribly injured as they thought I would be considering how long I had been a captive. Across my skin, there was the occasional deep gash and ugly healing bruise, but I was otherwise in decent shape.

Of course, there was always my mental health to consider, but that would come later. First and foremost, they had to make sure I physically wouldn’t give out on them.

“So, um…” I hesitantly paused, my gaze lowering before I slowly asked, “What’s going to happen…” I trailed off.

“To Scorpio?” Zyglavis asked, clarifying my own question. “Unable to return to the Heavens, and spending a majority of his time in the Under Realm, it’s safe to say his powers are considerably weakened. That wild lion should have him under control in no time. You won’t be in further danger.”

“Yeah, but…” I pursed my lips, unsure of what I really wanted to ask. I had many questions on my mind, and yet I couldn’t voice any of them. This was likely due to the anxiety I felt regarding Scorpio.

“(Name),” Zyglavis said my name, making me look up at him. He never said my name by itself before. This situation was serious. “You will be safe. Scorpio will be returned to the Heavens and face the King’s judgement where he will likely be… extinguished.”

That sounded like a horrible fate. Yet… Scorpio deserved it, didn’t he? Yet, I was still curious. “Is that the worst fate a god could face?”

The gods in the room paused to look at me, each regarding me differently.

Huedhaut then asked, “Are you aware of Scorpio’s past as a human?” With a brief nod from me, he continued, “The worst fate a being like Scorpio could face is exile to the place he despises most. Falling from grace and returning to humanity…”

My eyes widened slightly in realization. “You mean… He could be human again? How would that help me?”

There was a shift in the room and Leon suddenly appeared in the center, throwing Scorpio down onto the floor.

Almost rabidly, Scorpio struggled in the restraints he was wrapped in. As easy as it would usually be for a god to break out of restraints made out of divine energy, Scorpio was having a hell of a time with it; having embraced such dark energy, it was proving to be a challenge to escape.

“You,” Leon stated, his eyes immediately flickering to my startled form. “Come with me.” His eyes then shifted to Zyglavis. “You take care of this eyesore. Let him out of your sight and I’ll kill him the next time I find him. I’ll be in charge of the goldfish.” Still in his god form, Leon stormed past me, subtly gesturing for me to follow.

Of course, all it took was one glance at Scorpio before I made the quick decision to trail after Leon. Following Leo, I noted how he was still brimming with power. I hadn’t expected his power to just go away after his fight with Scorpio; especially not after everything Partheno had told me, plus Leon’s reaction upon returning with Scorpio.

He was angry—that much was obvious. At the very least, he wasn’t angry at me, but that only added to the questions I had for him. Watching him enter his room and try to relax on his bed—key word: try—my eyebrows furrowed.

Quietly, I closed the door behind me before walking up to his bed. “Leo…”

“Are you alright?” He interrupted me, his eyes flickering over my form. “He hurt you.”

“The other gods checked me out,” I replied vaguely, unsurprised when he offered me his hand, tugging me to sit beside him on the bed. All I could think to do was quietly add, “I’m okay. Zyglavis and the others took care of me and Partheno. They’re not gone, but… my injuries aren’t bad anymore.”

Leon’s hands gently trailed over me, searching and scanning for any sign of harm that wasn’t fixed properly. Satisfied with his findings, his gaze lifted to meet mine once more. “Good. That scorpion pissed me off…”

“It’s okay,” I quietly responded as if comforting him. “You were amazing. Sure, Partheno might’ve been the one to find me, but you were the one who saved us. If you hadn’t shown up…” I trailed off, not wanting to speculate what might’ve happened if Scorpio was left to his own devices. “But now he’s being taken to the Heavens, and…. and…” I trailed off once more.

I didn’t actually know what was going to happen in the Heavens. There were a few possibilities, and none of them were certain.

Seeing my uncertainty, Leon scoffed, reaching down to caress my cheek. “You aren’t supposed to be comforting me, goldfish.” He paused as I reached up to hold his hand. “You’re so strange.”

My eyes flickered up to meet his. “Is it strange that I want to comfort you too? Partheno told me you’ve been looking for me this whole time. I guess I just want to let you know that I’m okay now…”

“Are you really? You’ve been with that bastard.”

He wasn’t wrong. It was a hellish experience to be with Scorpio for so many months on end. But with Leon here, I felt like I wouldn’t have to worry about that again. So, sure. I suffered, and maybe I wasn’t entirely okay, but I was determined to get better.

“I will be,” I promised, my fingers wrapping around his. “I’m with you now, and you’ll keep me safe.”

Leon hummed, caressing my soft fingers. He seemed much more at ease than he was when he first entered his room. He was radiating less power now, yet remained in his god form—maybe that was his way of making me feel safe. “I wanted you to tell me something,” he suddenly requested. “You can take your time and think about it if you need to.” He paused to regard my expression.

“About him… or…”

“Minister ponytail told you Scorpio would likely be extinguished,” Leon recalled what I had been told earlier. “However, that might not be the case.” Before I could object or argue, he interrupted me. “I want to leave the decision to you. I’m aware you asked the other gods what the worst punishment could be for someone like Scorpio.”

I slowly nodded in agreement. “They told me it would be worse if he were exiled to Earth. But…”

“But you’re worried about him finding you again.”

It wasn’t a question, but my silence was enough to admit my fears.

“That isn’t something you have to worry about,” Leon reassured me, his gaze hard. “If you want him to be truly punished for what he’s done to you, sending him to Earth would be the best option. He loathes humanity—being among them for eternity would be a constant reminder of everything he’s lost.”

For a moment, things were silent as I thought about the options before me. I could make him suffer. Scorpio hated his time as a human—to think, I could easily make him relive that life with what he knows now. He would be entirely powerless to do anything about it. However, I could get rid of my problem altogether if they were to extinguish him…

Taking a deep breath, I quietly admitted, “It’s a hard decision…”

“You don’t have to make this decision right away,” Leon reassured me, redirecting my eyes up to him. “I understand it’s a lot to think about—and you likely don’t want to think about him right now. After I finished with him, he’s lucky he can still walk. Now, the other gods are watching him closely. You have time, and I won’t let them rush you into making a decision. For now…” He paused, his eyes softening as he gazed into my eyes. “What do you want?”

My lips parted slightly, but I hesitated. That was a loaded question in my mind, and I didn’t immediately know what to say. “Leo-”

His fingers gently pressed against my lips, shushing me before he corrected. “Not with him. What do you want? Is there something you want to eat? Something you want to do? Somewhere you want to go? Someone you want to see?”

“I…” I hesitated once more, my eyes lowering before I shyly leaned against Leon. He tensed in surprise, not expecting that I would want to be so close to another person so soon. A soft sigh left my lips. “This is okay. Can I stay here for now?”

“You want to stay in my room for now?”

“Please…” I begged, almost embarrassed to plead to stay with him in his room. But Leon was like that, I forgot.

He huffed in amusement, his breath ruffling my hair as he held me all the tighter. “You don’t have to beg me, goldfish. You can stay with me as long as you want.”

“It’s just…” I awkwardly explained, “This is all I wanted since Partheno told me you were looking for me. I realized how safe I felt with you, and I… I realized how much you must’ve cared to show up in the Under Realm for me.”

“I would show up anywhere if it meant you were safe in my arms,” Leon whispered, his lips pressing against the top of my head. “I suppose I have to admit, it brought me a lot of pleasure pissing off that scorpion by personally kicking his ass and promising that you’ll be loved for eternity without him. But…” He drawled, his voice turning smug, “If you were in my arms all the time, I wouldn’t need to show up anywhere to save you.”

“Then I’ll stay here,” I promised, my fingers tightly gripping his shirt as if afraid to be taken away from him again. “I always want to stay with you. I always want you to protect me. I always… I always want to love you…” Him… A god who would come for me when I needed him and save me from danger. No, a god who wouldn’t let me fall into danger in the first place. Had I been by his side from the start, I never would have ended up in the situation that I did.

Holding me in his arms, he promised in return, “I won’t let him lay a finger on you. If he so much as looks at you, I’ll take his stars myself. I meant what I said in front of everyone. No one will ever threaten or harm you again.” He paused, quietly sighing. “Not as long as I’m here to love you…”

Happy birthday!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎇🎇🎇🎇🎂🎂🎂🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

May every wish you have come true and may everyone you love be healthy and happy too!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🍾🍾🍾🍾❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wishing you the best in whatever you set your mind to!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU, LOVELY! 🥰 Happy late birthday to you too! 💖

💕💖 being 25.... SUCKS.

Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot at my ancient years of 25. It's been wonderful. I'm planning on learning taxidermy as a career. ✨ I'm going to learn how to preserve and stuff dead animals! 🩵 THAT'S what I'm setting my mind to!

On the other hand, personal update time:

...I got issues. I've been MIA since April/May because I had my gallbladder taken out. And then immediately before I was able to fully recover, I had to return to work PLUS my second summer job started. So I was working through 5-9 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Yet, I was still in pain long after my surgery and Last month I ended up getting kicked out of work on "temporary leave" because my boss didn't want me there in pain. Talk about embarrassing... Boss-man fussed at me in front of the whole store... 😣 Come to find out, I was growing a painful bean(cyst) in my left ovary. (When I say I'm asexual, take me literally and seriously.)

So I needed surgery to get it removed. And my surgery date was today, Aug 11. Mmkay? Fun stuff. I'm in pain. BUT HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. I go in for surgery, It went fine, I woke up. And... I get told I had not one, but TWO beans. I had TWINS. And the second one in my right ovary was bigger than the left one that was causing me pain.

Ontop of that, my colon was attached to my ovary on the wrong side of my body. So they had to rearrange my organs. Everything hurts and is super sensitive now. But hopefully this is the worst of it.

So... That's what being 25 is like. Don't follow in my footsteps. 😣 🙏🏻 I pray everyone else has had/will have better 2025 birthdays!

Buuuut now that I'm home recovering and able to work on fics and art and stuff while I'm not working 2 jobs and not having beans actively trying to torture me. So happy birthday to all of everyone. 🥴 I get to read and write and sleep. What a life.

So I'm not the only weird one that looks at these men's hands and just goes "That. That would be nice to hold."

Scorpio's hands are so pretty.

Leon is my guilty pleasure.

My lady, you did it again. 😭🥺 Thank you for the second part.💓💓💓✨️

If you do not mind, can you please write another part of 'Human Weakness'? Like how does the dynamic between Ophiuchus and the God (individually) looks like.

•Do they try to win her heart?

•Is the God (specifically Tauxolouve; as you already know i am a big angsty Louie fan) willing to let go of her?

•How does the parents / family members of the Gods react to this situation once the reader tells them the truth?

•How does the future of Fi and Reader's relationship look like?

Human Weakness III

Synopsis: A bit of the aftermath of your Zodiac God’s decision and your relationship with Ophiuchus. ✨Masterlist✨ Female goldfish!

A/n: Okay okay okay. You’re getting too angsty! This is the last part though! I feel like I’m getting oddly repetitive in this theme…

–Word Count: 3,700–

♌️♌️♌️

Leon and Ophiuchus do not get along, at all. Sure, they could try to get along for your sake, but that isn’t going to work out. They have their respective reasons, of course. In Leon’s case, Fi took you away from him and snatched your heart from right under his nose. Meanwhile, Leon had caused you a great deal of pain, and Fi just wanted to help.

Of course, despite Leon’s reluctance to let you lead your secret double life, loving Ophiuchus behind closed doors, he’s still there granting your wishes from a distance. He still tries to make you comfortable when you have to be with him in public. He still… wants you to love him. After all, Leon was known to be possessive of his things. But he relented. He fell back into his role of a heartless god, just for you and Ophiuchus to be happy.

Karno, being the closest person to Leon, wasn’t very thrilled with hearing that he had broken your heart and that you were secretly seeing Fi. Of course, not that he had a problem with Fi. The problem was obviously with his troublesome minister… Not that Karno was in any place to tell Leon anything about being in a relationship when Karno couldn’t manage one himself.

With Leon’s minimal interruptions, it was far easier for both you and Fi without the added strain on your relationship. Of course, it was still a stressful double life for you, but it was better than being stuck with someone who, by all means, didn’t seem capable of love.

♋️♋️♋️

Karno was kind in reference to Fi, but… boy was he one petty crab. At every opportunity they were passing sly, underhanded comments to one another that could have been perceived as compliments to anyone on the outside. Not to mention that Karno did in fact keep his mental promise to accidentally spice Ophiuchus’ food. But aside from his petty nature, he was kind.

He was kind because he’d do anything for you. He hated constantly hurting you over and over again. Deep inside, he was glad you found someone that never hurt you and likely never will. Even if it meant the love that you shared with him wasn’t real… But what did that matter? You were happy! And Karno loved making you happy. Maybe… Maybe one day you would return his feelings.

The only person actually glad that you were with Ophiuchus was probably Leon. After all, it was no secret about Leon and Karno… YET, the same couldn’t be said for the rest of the Wishes Department. Needless to say, it was pretty awkward between Karno and the rest of the department upon learning why you had left him and were secretly dating Fi under the nose of the Heavens. They were all your friends, after all. How couldn’t they have fallen in love with their Vice Minister's special little human?

Fi might’ve taken that ‘falling in love’ bit a little too far, but you really needed him! Because where was Karno when you needed him? Luckily, Karno had the capacity to play nice; this meant that your relationship with Fi would be a smooth one among your small circle of godly friends who were aware of this relationship.

♒️♒️♒️

Huedhaut didn’t often have outer rivalries with any other gods. After all, he was very personal and to himself. He never had time for something so petty. Yet, upon finding that Fi stole your heart away from him… the only remaining thread of warmth in Huedhaut’s heart… Huedhaut could find no mercy. There was no sparing Fi from the onslaught of threatening letters telling him to take care of you, and make sure you were happy, and to grant all of your wishes, even the insignificant sounding ones. And no. Huedhaut never forgot to include in his letters what he’d do to Ophiuchus if the young god dared to hurt you.

Beyond this, Huedhaut was nothing but pleasant to be around. He was ever the gentleman, looking out for you and making sure the other gods didn’t make you uncomfortable, especially when it came to your and his fake situationship. As much as he wanted you to be happy, he would ensure you were happy. Well… when you weren’t with Fi, that is.

Huedhaut didn’t have any immediate family that you had grown attached to—or so you thought. It turns out the Department of Wishes were as family as family got, and telling them the truth was similar to telling family. They reacted similarly anyway, comforting you like an in-law they lost out on. But… Huedhaut wasn’t doing anything wrong, was he? He was just being… Hue. That’s your problem right there.

Fortunately, being ignorant to the threat letters Huedhaut was sending Ophiuchus, you had a normal relationship that looked strong as stone. If you didn’t… Well… Fi would be answering to one angry god of Aquarius.

♉️♉️♉️

Teorus wasn’t about to be the god to cope with losing you to someone like Ophiuchus. Of course, he tried! But you were you! Teorus loved you! He loved you more than he loved anyone else! Wasn’t that saying something? He loved a lot of people, shouldn’t you know that he was being serious with you?

Needless to say, he was extremely childish when it came to Fi. Teorus never usually was rude to other gods, but he wasn’t about to go out of his way to be nice to someone who stole his woman! Sure, the King made things a little better by forcing you to be with Teorus instead of Fi, but… why didn’t that fix anything?

To make matters worse, you told Teorus’ dad about everything that was going on with your secret relationship. His dad, of all the godforsaken gods! As a known womanizer himself, he gave you surprisingly sound advice about making a good decision, placing your heart in the hands of a god who will protect it and cherish it like the only heart in the universe. Romantic weirdo… At least with Fi, you didn’t have to have that as a father-in-law.

While involving Teorus’ dad wasn’t much of any help regarding Teorus’ attachment and love for you, it made it more bearable. It wasn’t like Teorus’ love was coming out of an entirely bad place. It just wasn’t something you needed. And while Teorus would constantly be seeking your love and affirmation, you were convinced that you’d be okay with Fi by your side.

♑️♑️♑️

Aigonorus didn’t have as bad of a relationship with Ophiuchus as one would think, considering Fi stole the heart of his one true love… Well, it was a bit more complicated than that, and Aigo was trying to admit that to himself—as hard as it was. The two of them had never really been friends before, but… you loved Fi. That meant that Fi was a good person. Because, above all, Aigo trusted your judgement. You never had any reason to lie to him.

Despite it all, Aigo doesn’t want to ruin what you have with Fi. Yet, he doesn’t want to lose what he has with you either. The King was quick to make sure you were stuck with Aigo, yet that didn’t solve all of the complicated problems underneath. This was just a pretty showcase.

While Aigo’s heralds had tried to make him feel better, the only true consolation he received was from… you. You didn’t hate him, you said it yourself. But you could also never forgive him for making you feel as neglected as you did. Even his heralds couldn’t support him on that point… It wasn’t like they wanted you to leave either!

Yet, it was okay. Because you weren’t abandoning him—not really. After a quiet chat with Ophiuchus about how you were doing with all of this… Fi decided that you couldn’t abandon Aigo—not that you wanted to. Aigo was soft and kind, despite how negligent he was. So, while Aigo coped with your relationship with Ophiuchus, you remained friends and tried to help Aigo through his deep internal feelings. Good thing Ophiuchus was a pro at that sort of thing!

♐️♐️♐️

Tauxolouve thought he had come to terms with the way you loved Ophiuchus so much more genuinely than you did when you were in your fake situationship with him. After all, you were only with Lou on the King’s orders. You made it abundantly clear how Lou made you feel versus how Fi made you feel. Lou couldn’t hold that against the younger god. It wasn’t his fault that you were simply not meant to be with someone like Lou who was so used to moving on time after time, woman after woman.

Truthfully speaking, however, Lou still loved you. While he understood you being with someone who prioritized you over any other god in the Heavens, that wasn’t something Lou could afford in his position. And sure, you understood that. But it wasn’t something your heart could handle every time you saw him with another goddess. Regardless, he couldn’t let you go in his heart.

This made it even more difficult when you told his parents of the unfortunate situation you were placed in. Dating Ophiuchus but being forced to be with Lou… His parents were loving and doting as ever. They treated you like their own daughter, so of course, they would comfort you as such. After all, it was just a big mess the King had put a poor human like you in. Or maybe Lou was the one who started this mess—if he’d have only opened his eyes and focused on what was in front of him instead of his duties as a high-ranking Wishes god.

Despite the lack of feelings between you and Lou, Lou wasn’t about to step in and ruin your relationship with Fi just because he was… jealous—as hard as it was to admit. That made it easier for you, didn’t it? You didn’t have a flirtatious god trying to get between you and someone you loved on the King’s Orders. Lou was kind like that… allowing your relationship with Fi to blossom.

♎️♎️♎️

Zyglavis didn’t dislike Ophiuchus. Of course, he didn’t exactly like Fi either. This is considering that the two were polar opposites. Zyglavis was so strict and firm while Fi was fun, considerate, and… everything you probably deserved. The two of them weren’t on horrible terms, despite how maybe he didn’t want to share you with another god. The situation was complicated. You weren’t Zygalvis’ woman anymore, yet you had no choice but to act like it.

Now, Zyglavis didn’t treat this like any other order from the King. It wasn’t something he took as an obligation. He genuinely wanted to make sure you were happy. After all, happiness was what would keep darkness out of the world. He couldn’t risk bringing the Dark King back again with his jealousy.

No one in the department of punishments was entirely surprised to find out that Zyglavis held his work above you; that was just how Zyglaivs had always been. So, it wasn’t really any surprise that your situationship with Zyglavis was just another job and that you were really dating Ophiuchus behind closed doors. But if you weren’t mad at Zyglavis for any of this, then they wouldn’t be either—not that they could get mad at their boss when they knew this kind of situation was a bit inevitable.

So, they all accepted the fact that you were with Ophiuchus. They learned to keep their mouths shut when you were with Zyglavis in public, knowing it was nothing more than a show for the Heavens. After all, you weren’t going to be leaving Ophiuchus any time soon, and Zyglavis wasn’t about to try and ruin the one bit of happiness you still had between yourself and the gods.

♏️♏️♏️

Scorpio, as much as he really really wanted to, couldn’t hate Ophiuchus, not when Fi was taking care of you the way you wanted. Despite how Scorpio was once human, these feelings were foreign to him. The way he was jealous when Ophiuchus touched you, or spoke words of love into your ear. That should’ve been him… Scorpio could do that, couldn’t he? No… He didn’t know how. He never knew how. All he knew was how to follow orders, just as he was doing now.

But he was careful around you. He didn’t really want to know what you were feeling or what you thought about him or Ophiuchus. For some reason, evidently a good reason deep in his heart, he couldn’t bring himself to want to hurt you or make you upset. That was the only reason things remained somewhat civil between him and Fi. Well… just about as civil as his relationship with Leon, in any case.

Meanwhile, the King, the only significant figure in Scorpio’s life, and the one responsible for putting you and Scorpio back together was hearing none of your complaints. Yes, he knew you were seeing Ophiuchus, but you couldn’t just up and leave Scorpio. He went through all the trouble of giving you, a fickle human, permission to be with Scorpio. So don’t whine about not being able to see Ophiuchus as often.

Between the King’s harsh decision making and Scorpio’s puppet-like behavior, your relationship with Ophiuchus was fairly strained despite how much you both fought to make it work. After all, there’s only so much one can do against the King. Maybe you should just stop dating gods that work for the King.

♊️♊️♊️

Dui tried his best to feel indifferent about Ophiuchus. After all, if he accepted the fact that he couldn’t stand the god, then he’d be able to let Shadow have at him, wouldn’t he? No, he didn’t want that. Ophiuchus was nothing but nice to him, even going as far as offering to help you and him accept the situation you were both stuck in.

At heart, Dui was nothing but a nice god. Even you knew that. That was why he struggled between wanting to keep you for himself and letting you live your life with Ophiuchus. You’d hate him, wouldn’t you, if he tried to get in your way? Well, no. That’s not what he wanted to do at all. He just wanted to love you as much as Ophiuchus did—no again. He wanted to love you more. He wanted you to… not hate him.

It was especially hard when you’d told the Department of Punishments what had happened. Of course, they understood being with Shadow was hard work. …it’s not like he didn’t try to drown you at some point. But, that’s beside the point! The punishment gods are nothing but supportive of you and Ophiuchus despite how bad they feel for Dui’s situation. Dui always seemed to be getting the short end of the stick in relationships.

Fortunately, Shadow was well behaved enough to not interfere. Though, even if he did, the other gods were sure to intervene. So even though your relationship with Fi was peaceful and otherwise uninterrupted by Shadow Dui, you stayed with Dui in the Heavens and Fi on Earth—as best a compromise as you could manage.

♓️♓️♓️

Ichthys didn’t really get along with Ophiuchus—not that they ever really spoke to each other. Well, they didn’t hate each other, there was a difference. After all, they still had to somewhat get along for your sake. If they didn’t get along in some sense, then you would be the one to suffer, wouldn’t you?

That didn’t stop Ichthys from pranking Fi at every given opportunity. There might’ve been some malice involved, but who can tell when Ichthys’ pranks are so… harmless. But really, his goals are innocent. Even if he was upset that Ophiuchus was the god you loved and wanted, Ichthys still wanted to see you smile. He still wanted his pranks to be the purpose behind your happiness. So, of course, he’s still going to try and win your heart.

It was no secret that even Ichthys’ parents loved you. Being that Ichthys is such a childish prankster, he didn’t often get the attention of other goddesses. To have you love him was something special. But to have him ruin such a special relationship… It was heartbreaking news. Despite how you were a human, you were accepted as part of their family. Make no mistake, Ichthys got the speech of a lifetime.

Your relationship with Ophiuchus wasn’t about to be disregarded so easily just because Ichthys wanted you back. However, this also meant that the two of you definitely would have to watch your backs in the future. Ichthys was a prankster, but he was also a petty prankster.

♍️♍️♍️

Partheno couldn’t hate Ophiuchus, not when he was everything to you. And if you loved Fi then Partheno was going to do his best to accept that. After all, he knew that the love you shared was genuine. By all means, he didn’t want to make you hate him by doing something that would completely and irrevocably hurt you. However, he did harbor a particular distaste for the snake bearer. It wasn’t like Fi didn’t steal you away from him.

So, logically, just like Ophiuchus had done to him, Partheno wasn’t about to give up. While he wasn’t about to outright steal you from Ophiuchus, he also wasn't going to sit by just let you go. No. Of course he was going to try and win your heart. What kind of god of love would he be if he didn’t pursue the one person he loved? The one who saved him.

The zodiac gods don’t exactly take it well when you tell them how you felt about your situation with Partheno. By all means, you should have every right to feel the way you do. To have the man you love satisfy the whims of other gods and goddesses just because he’s a redeemed demon and needs to make sure the Heavens accepts him.

Alternatively, if you want to get really dirty about it, you could go to his actual family and complain about Partheno. But does the Dark King really care to hear about what his wayward son is doing with a human that he refused to let him sacrifice? At the very least, this drama is certainly feeding the Underrealm—is that such a bad thing? Maybe you’re useful to the Dark King for something after all.

As long as you don’t stir up too much trouble between the dark gods, Partheno, and Ophiuchus then everything should be relatively fine for you and Fi. With Partheno playing the part of the God of Love and Fi doing his regular duties as the snake bearer, there shouldn’t be any trouble. Thanks to the eyes of the other gods, Partheno couldn’t interfere even if he wanted to. So, the future for you and Fi should be a bright and loving one.

♈️♈️♈️

Krioff rarely ever spoke to Ophiuchus, so it was hard to say that there was any dynamic at all between the two of them. It wasn’t like Fi had any reason to speak to Krioff either. It was obvious that the mere concept of Fi was enough to anger Krioff—if the rise in temperature was anything to go by. Not that it was intentional, of course. But who could blame Krioff for getting so frustrated at the thought of you with someone else?

The past was just repeating itself with this scenario. Finding out you moved on from loving him and went into the arms of another god was quite similar to the day Krioff found out his sister had fallen from grace, falling in love with a human in her new mortal life. Similar to when you and he teamed up to give his sister a good wedding despite the emotional turmoil it brought Krioff, he did the same for you.

Sure, the thought of you with someone else caused him pain, but he wanted to do whatever it took to make you happy. Of course, being that he wanted nothing to do with Fi, he was more than willing to let you go since you seemed so utterly unhappy with him. Who could be happy with a god like him?

Telling his parents on the other hand, was nothing good. This information, of course, was not for his father, by any means, but it was needless to say that his father wasn’t happy. After all, a reborn goddess like you, who saved the six sinned gods, was supposed to bring glory to their family name! Now what were they supposed to do? To make matters worse, Krioff’s mother, who was so sure you and Krioff were going to make each other very happy, fell ill at how easily her family crumbled. It wasn’t something you could help though, you simply didn’t love Krioff despite how fragile his mother was.

With Krioff deciding that you were better off without him, the future of your relationship with Fi is likely to be a calm and good one. On the off chance that Fi happens to run into Krioff… there’s bound to be a little fire or two accidentally started, but nothing that can’t be handled! Thankfully, Fi’s very good with stressful situations!

Happy Mother’s Day

Synopsis: As a child in a public human school, you’re exposed to yet another unfamiliar holiday and curious to participate, bringing your godly parents a bit of confusion.

✨Masterlist✨ Child goldfish! A/n: As the title says… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! 🤭

–Word Count: 3,606–

Humans had many strange customs that you were being introduced to. It was such a drastic change from your home in the Heavens. Some such things… were holidays.

There were a variety of holidays, some of which your guardians celebrated with you, but some of which they had no idea about.

It was growing closer to the end of the school year, and your guardians were more concerned with you passing your final exams and other such standardized testing. Of course, human exams were such a trivial thing in your eyes. After all, these human education systems were way behind your level of knowledge.

You were more concerned about the latest and greatest holiday that was all the rage in your English class. The assignment was to write a letter or other creative gift to a mother you looked up to… There were lots of those, you supposed—you knew lots of great women. But the holiday in relation was Mother's Day. They had a specific day made to celebrate mothers, but… You didn't have one of those. That wasn't to say you didn't know any mothers… But they didn't raise you.

You wondered if it would be against the rules to make a Mother's Day gift for your gods? Whether or not it was against the rules, you set off on your gift-making spree! After all, having a child didn't make you a mother; having the ability to raise a child made you a mother. And your gods raised you.

… that's what you put in your head, anyway.

♌️♌️♌️

Leon thought it was strange that you kept side-eyeing him—well, he thought it was more suspicious than strange. And you knew he was looking at you, which made approaching him even harder than it was before you set out on this mission.

But the intimidating look-down he gave you was just the reason you'd decided to do this in the first place. After various interviews with fellow students, you noted that mothers were very intimidating and had a certain ‘look’ about them. You thought it perfectly described Leon’s consistent intimidating expression whenever you were doing… anything!

So, steeling yourself for any kind of reaction, you swiftly shuffled over and presented your gift. “Happy Mother's Day!”

“...Mother's Day?” Leon blinked, his eyebrows furrowing. “Is this some kind of joke?” He was even more surprised at the fact that you insisted that you were being genuine. Well, he couldn't just deny you, since you were thoughtful enough to present him with an offering.

Well. No. It wasn't an offering. It was a gift, a human form of thanks for being a good… mother. He couldn't help but grin haughtily. “Good, goldfish. I accept your gift. You only seem to get stranger by the day… But I'll accept your ‘Mother's Day’ present. I didn't think I was mother-material, but if you insist; I'm glad you think so highly of me.”

♋️♋️♋️

Karno noticed the way you were consistently working on one particular project. For an entire week, you were coming and going from school with a secret project. He never pried into your personal hobbies and left you to your own devices. But today, it seemed, he was finally going to get to see what you've made.

“Happy Mother's Day, Karno!”

“A Mother's Day gift? For me?” He stayed surprised, suspecting for a moment that you might've been pulling his leg. But your unwavering expression told him otherwise. Thinking you might've gotten the wrong impression from school, he figured he'd better correct it. “I think you've gotten your holidays mixed up again. I think you should hold this until June…”

“No,” you argued, pressing the gift into Karno’s hands as you insisted that it was for him now on Mother's Day. Some kids at school described their mothers as strict but loved to spoil them. Karno always spoiled you, no matter how strict he was with you or Leo. He was a perfect image of a mother! “This is for you today. You take care of me really good, so I made you a Mother's Day present.”

“I strike you as a mother figure?” He was surprised, but he couldn't help but laugh, only causing you to pout at him. “I'm not making fun of you. I think it's cute… Here, why don't I get us something for lunch, and you can tell me what you heard about Mother's Day and why you picked me?”

♒️♒️♒️

Huedhaut was amused when you first bounded up to him with a happy-go-lucky grin and a gift in your hands. He thought it was another one of your cute projects that you wanted to show him, or some other childish endeavor you’d gotten yourself into. But he was certainly proven wrong. “Happy Mother's Day, Hue!”

He was frozen for a moment, unsure of how to react. He didn’t want to overreact, but he didn’t want to underreact and make you feel like he didn’t appreciate the gesture. Still, he had to ask, “Are you aware of what today is for?”

You nodded, looking very certain of yourself. Even Huedhaut was convinced you knew exactly what you were doing. “Today’s Mother's Day! I was supposed to write about why my mom is amazing and other things I love about her… But… You raised me! So, I made something for you!” Besides, based on the intel you gathered, mothers are intelligent and always know what to say. They also always know how to fix problems and care for you when you’re sick or not feeling well. Basically, moms are miracle workers, and Huedhaut matched the description.

Though, seeing him frozen in place… you had to ask if he was okay; only for him to unexpectedly crush you in his arms. “If this is how things were meant to end up… I won’t let her down. I’ll strive daily to be the best mother I can be.”

♉️♉️♉️

Teorus actually wanted to help you with your latest project, but for some reason you denied him. He was pretty upset over the fact that you didn’t want to include him when you were usually happy to spend time with him. However, when it came time for you to present your gift to him, he didn’t quite know how to react to your chirpy, “Happy Mother's Day, Teo!”

He really stared at you for a moment before confusedly saying, “But… I’m a god.” After a pause, he added, “I’m a guy, goldie. I can’t be a mom.”

You blinked, an innocently confused look etched upon your face. As far as you were concerned, a mother was nice and gave you cute nicknames and served you milk and cookies. Teorus certainly fit the description based on what other kids told you. “But you love me, and you take good care of me. You do what the other kids’ moms do, so you've gotta take my Mother's Day present… Please?”

How could you make such a cute face like that?! He wasn't a mother, but there was no way he could possibly tell you no—not that he had any intention of telling you no before, but this just made him unable to argue at all. “Aw… I do love you! Okay, fine. I'll take your present; I can't say no to you anyway. I'll have to give you a present later too!”

♑️♑️♑️

Aigonorus watched you shuffling around with something… He knew you had been making something in secret, something he wasn't allowed to look at based on how you always eyed him warily and snuck around. Heck, you were cautious even around his goats. Though… sometimes he also found you colluding with his goats, who refused to reveal what you were up to.

Of course, he was worried about you. I mean, you were even skipping naps, you were staying up late at night. This wasn’t good for your sleep schedule! But you weren’t taking anything from him, no corrections and no “hey, I think you should get some sleep.” Though, his concern for you and your sleep schedule made you decide that he was definitely worthy of being your mother! At least, from what the other kids said, all good mothers wanted their kid to take naps and have decent rest.

So, Aigo was pleasantly surprised when he found you sleeping beside him in his bed one morning, curled up under his blankets. When your eyes flickered open, you matched Aigonorus’ soft smile with a grin. Reaching on the side of the bed, you displayed your gift to him with a proud “Happy Mother’s Day, Aigo! Me and the other Heralds made this for you!”

He thought you were so cute. He had no idea what you were talking about, but it was so adorable. You thought he was about to cry. And maybe he would. “I… Come here.” He wrapped you up in his arms, holding you tight against his chest, an airy laugh puffing from his nose. “Weirdo… I'm not a mom… but thank you. You're the most precious thing to me… I hope you stay this squishy forever.”

♐️♐️♐️

Tauxolouve didn’t fail to notice how occupied your time suddenly seemed to be. While this wouldn’t have been a bad thing, there was also the alternative issue that… you were avoiding him—and maybe the other gods too? But why would you be avoiding any of them if something wasn’t wrong?

He knew you didn’t like to worry them with what you sometimes considered ‘trivial human problems’, but Lou was part human too! If anything, you should have been going to him with whatever was bothering you—not that he was being selfish or anything…

It seemed, however, that he picked a semi-good time to follow you to your room. You had panicked, throwing yourself on top of whatever was on your desk. Though, after an awkward silence, you decided to answer his unasked question. Glancing between Lou and whatever was on your desk, you finally relented, picking up the gift and presenting it to Lou. “Happy Mother’s Day, Lou!”

To anyone else, your little thrown-together gift might've seemed confusing, and Lou was as confused as you've ever seen him. But as you've heard, mothers were nurturing to a child's creative nature and… Well, Lou tried his best to make sure you kept your creative spark and kind nature.

An adoring smile crossed his lips. You might’ve been a little confused, but it was the thought that counted. “It’s lovely.” He took the gift out of your hands, scanning over it to take in every detail of the gift you gave him. Not for the first time, your adorable actions melted him, and he couldn’t resist wrapping you up in his arms. “I think we should review your holidays, kiddo… but thank you. I’ll have to hang it in my room where everyone can see it. Why don’t we work on a project together next time?”

♎️♎️♎️

Zyglavis was a very intimidating god—to everyone but you, at least. I mean, as long as you stayed out of trouble then you had no reason to ever be worried that Zyglavis would be upset with you. But Zyglavis wasn’t used to you keeping things from him. That type of behavior usually implied that you were soon to cause mischief. Well, that was his experience with another secretive god who works under him… And who was to say that you weren’t picking up any bad habits from Ichthys?

Still, he couldn’t jump to conclusions. It wasn’t like you were outright causing trouble. Besides, you claimed this was something to do with school. Was he supposed to suspect you of lying to him? Ichthys might have been a trouble maker, but Zyglavis wasn’t sure that the god was teaching you to lie to your guardians.

But you couldn’t tell Zyglavis what you were working so hard on! That would ruin the surprise! It didn’t matter how many scary looks Zyglavis shot your way—besides, you were used to it. You saw him give Ichthys those looks plenty of times. And that's exactly why you decided Zygalvis was worthy of a Mother’s day gift! Moms were supposedly very scary and were more likely than not to ground you for misbehaving. Zyglavis was the perfect mom! He was always grounding Ichthys!

Though he preferred for others to knock before entering his room, you were too eager to hold back as you burst into the quiet room in the middle of his work—something the other gods would die if they did. “Happy Mother’s Day, Zyg!”

Though he was instinctively going to correct you for your behavior and misinformation, he had to stop himself at your eager expression. This clearly meant a lot to you. Sighing softly, he smiled. “Thank you, (Name). Though, I do believe you’re a bit mistaken with your holiday… let’s see what you’ve got there and how we can celebrate today, hm?”

♏️♏️♏️

Scorpio was most certainly not a god you wanted to cross the wrong way. Ignoring him when he was trying to question you about your school work? He was just trying to help you! Ignorant brat! You were even more suspiciously avoiding contact with him. It was obvious when you were quick to avoid his touch and fled from his presence.

He wasn’t so sure he felt much better when you ran up to him the next day shouting some nonsense like “Happy Mother’s Day, Scorpio!” He was convinced this was some kind of prank from Ichthys before you jumped on him in a hug and he felt your genuine emotions. He froze up, his cheeks turning red at how much you seemed to adore him. According to your friends, a mom would kick the ass of anyone who would dare mess with their kid. As far as you were aware, Scorpio was that mom.

But Scorpio was lost in thought. Because of his past, he never had loving parents—the King of the Heavens didn’t count. He wasn’t sure what it meant to be a parent; all he knew how to do was be the Vice Minister of the Department of Punishments. Sure, he knew how to take care of the people he found important to him, but he wasn’t sure that was a very motherly skill to have. But… you seemed to think so.

You shifted from around him, holding out an envelope as you delicately asked, “You’ll take it… won’t you?”

His eyebrows furrowed before he pulled you on the sofa beside him. “Yeah, kid… I’ll take it. And I’ll try to be the best damn mom I can be.” For you. Because that’s how you saw him, and that’s what you wanted.

♊️♊️♊️

Dui was always a god you liked to do your work with. Well, not with, but in the same room as. It was easier for you to work hard when your gods were there to set examples for you. Dui was a good example considering his punishments weren’t light enough to let these people get away with their deeds, but his choice of punishments also weren’t so intense that you weren’t allowed to be present.

Needless to say, it was strange when you kept glancing at him while doing your homework. He thought you needed help, but you persistently denied. Though he didn’t admit it, this managed to get under Dui’s skin until Shadow Dui came out, forcing you to confess as he grabbed both your pencil and paper. He read over it with wide eyes before he looked down at the little unfinished drawing that you were making. “Huh…?”

When his eyes flickered over to you, you uncertainly spoke up, “Uh… Happy Mother’s Day, Dui and Shadow Dui.”

You tried to smile awkwardly at him, but he only ended up smooshing you against his chest, nearly smothering you. “You stupid goldfish! You always make the cutest crap! You were making weak-Dui feel all inadequate for not being able to help you… but you were just making a little gift for him… for us.”

“You’re so sweet and adorable, (Name),” Dui gushed, unexpectedly replacing Shadow Dui as he hugged you just as tightly—if not tighter—than Shadow. “We’re sorry for interrupting you! Um… I know I’m not exactly a mom… but I’ll be your mom for the day! But how about this? We can draw together! I’ll make you a present too!”

You liked Dui… he was like two moms rolled up into one. One mom, Shadow Dui, who was concerned for both you and Dui. And your second mom, Dui, who was always so easily flustered and loved to give you snacks—primarily in the form of cherries or some kind of cherry-flavored thing. You loved your mom and shadow mom.

While Ichthys wasn’t exactly the most ‘mom’ person you’ve ever met, he certainly did like to hover and get you out of doing your work, getting you in trouble more often than not. Especially so when you were more focused on doing this boring ‘homework’ than hanging out with him! If anything, he was like a big annoying brother. But you loved him. And part of him was mom like. After all, if he never acted like a mom at all, you would’ve never considered making a mothers day gift for him.

You were pretty sure he was in the middle of plotting a prank when you suddenly ran up to him, plopping a paper into his hands. “Happy Mother’s Day, Ichthys!”

“Huh?” His eyes were wide in surprise for a moment. “Mother’s Day? I’m- I’m not a mom! Wait… Is this supposed to be for my mom from you?”

You suppose you could have made her something too… but this wasn’t for her! “Nope! This is for you, Ikky!” Moms were supposed to be great teachers, from what you understood. They were always teaching their kids new things. Ichthys was always teaching you new ways to prank the other gods—he even would teach you ways to get away with your crimes! A good teacher was a good mom. “The other kids at school taught me all about moms for mother’s day, so I had to make a present for you. You’re not a girl, but… I guess you have sort of long hair too. Is that… okay?”

He would never tell you no! He loved to spoil you too much for that. “Heck, yeah! I’ll be momma Ichthys! Heeeeey, while you’re here, let’s work on a Mother’s Day present for my mom! She’d love human stuff! C’mon! You gotta help me out!”

If there was ever a motherly god, Partheno was that god. Considering who he was the son of, he could probably double as the evil stepmother in a fairytale, but not this Partheno. This Partheno converted fully to a god for your sake. Not to mention, he was the god of beauty… You’d imagine a god of beauty to be a pretty motherly figure, no?

So, how could you deny him a gift for all his hard motherly work? He certainly wasn’t expecting such a thing when you waltzed up to him and, with a gift in your hands, proudly declared, “Happy Mother’s Day, Partheno!”

“Happy…” He trailed off from repeating your words. But too soon after, your words fed into his ego, and he grinned. “Yes, of course, I am the most beautiful god in the Heavens, after all. Only I could qualify for the position of mother. It’s not like the rest of these fools know the first thing about feminine beauty.”

You were amazed that you didn’t even have to explain to him why you chose to give him a mothers day present. He already seemed to know that his feminine qualities were the perfect option for you. After all, like mother, like child. And if Partheno was beautiful, there was no way he’d ever let you off with being anything less.

Krioff never really concerned himself with anything that had to do with your school. After all, you had plenty of other gods hounding over you about it. He was more concerned about the other gods in the Heavens and their useless opinions on them raising a human. He didn’t care, as long as you were safe and happy. He may have been the god of destruction, but he was first and foremost, your self-proclaimed protector.

Of course, his distance from you never stopped you from hanging out with him before. He was too weak to deny you, after all. He lost his chance to be with his sister—he wasn’t losing this opportunity to love you. And a mother was loving and occasionally snuck you things you weren’t supposed to have—like ice cream for lunch. Not to mention, he was a great choice of heater during winter! So why was he that surprised when you bounded up to him with a gift in hand and a “Happy Mother’s Day, Krioff!”

He was confused for a moment, as he often was with your sudden antics. “It’s Mother’s Day?” No, that shouldn’t be his question. His question should have been why wasn’t it father’s day?

“Yep,” you happily answered. You were pretty insistent on him specifically being your mother.

He was sure you knew the difference. After all, Krioff let you see his mother often—not his father, of course. Then again, if you had the same issue with fathers as Krioff had then maybe calling him your mother was a compliment. Krioff put on one of his rare smiles as he placed his warm hand on your head, ruffling your hair, cluelessly saying in response, “Sure. Happy Mother’s Day, kid.”
