Codatorta and his kids

Codatorta & Riven:

Is particularly hard on Riven to get him to achieve “his potential”.

Does look after the younger man, though: makes sure he always has a place to go to once the school goes on break, invites him for dinner with Codatorta’s family on holidays, etc.

Riven is the only one who doesn’t know that he is Codatorta’s real favourite.

Codatorta & Nabu:

Doesn’t even try to hide how much better he thinks Nabu is compared to his students.

”You all should be more like Nabu” this, “I want Nabu to enrol in Red Fountain, please please please” that

Nabu calls Codatorta “daddy 🥺” jokingly and although the older man yells at him for it, he is the only one who doesn’t get beaten up for name-calling.

Codatorta & Helia:

A very respectful, caring relationship.

Although Codatorta at least tries to appear professional with the rest of the gang, he gives up all pretences with Helia.

C’mon, he has known the younger man since the latter was a kid in diapers. Seen him go through hardships, make mistakes and flourish in spite of them. How could he pretend to be anything but wholly on Helia’s side?

Protective of Helia like a little brother. In turn, Helia cares for Codatorta and looks up to him.

Codatorta & Timmy:

the bemused mentor & the over-achieving, comedically ill-timed mentee.

For a long time, Codatorta dismisses Timmy for one of the rich kids who are in it for the rank and the mantle, and treats him coolly.

Timmy desperately tries to prove himself — but because he is so edge around Codatorta, only makes the impression worse. Amy Santiago style.

Only when Timmy stops caring about Codatorta’s opinion and really comes into his own as a specialist — being his quietly bad-ass, confident self — only then does Codatorta start to respect him.

They don’t speak of the shift in their dynamic, but Codatorta begins to entrust Timmy with more challenging tasks and relies on his insight more.

Codatorta & Brandon:

The tired grump dad & the middle child.

Codatorta does actually like Brandon and thinks he makes for a very honourable specialist

But he hates hates hates Brandon’s clown-assery.

Most of their interactions are Brandon trying to be/being funny and Codatorta punishing him for it (and for the man’s ongoing headaches) with exercises.

Once in a blue moon, they do have sincere moments, where both learn a bit from each other.

Codatorta & Sky:

Some (Riven) might mistake Sky for Codatorta’s favourite, because the older man dedicates a lot of his personal time to teaching & advising the prince.

But this is mostly because Sky is one of the only princes, and heirs to a significant empires at that, under Codatorta’s care - and he wants his charge to become a decent man before he inherits the throne.

So Codatorta tries to make Sky wise, selfless, smart, a leader

But Sky is also stubborn as fuck and is responsible for half of Codatorta’s grey heirs alone — so heck no, he is not the favourite .

so to summarise:

all the interactions between Codatorta and the specialists are, of course, Platonic.

The Storm: A Flora Helia Fic ♡︎♡︎♡︎

•takes place during the last battle with Valtor•

The battlefield was quiet, the silence more oppressive than the clash of magic that had raged moments before. Smoke rose in curling tendrils from the shattered earth, the acrid smell of burnt foliage thick in the air.

Helia stumbled over uneven ground, his chest heaving with every breath. Around him, the remnants of the battle were devastating: uprooted trees, scorched grass, and crumbled stone from the ancient ruins where the Winx had fought.

But Helia’s thoughts were on one person.

“Flora,” he murmured, scanning the chaos with a growing sense of dread. She had been at the heart of the fight, using her magic to protect her friends and the land she loved so fiercely. But when Valtor unleashed his final attack, the group had been scattered. Helia hadn’t seen her since.

“Flora!” he called, his voice raw as he pushed through the wreckage, ignoring the ache in his muscles.

A faint, pained groan reached his ears. His heart leapt, and he sprinted toward the sound.

He found her slumped against a fallen tree, her delicate frame battered and bloodied. Her arms were scratched and bruised, her normally vibrant pink and green outfit torn and singed. Her face, pale and streaked with dirt, was turned slightly toward him, her eyes fluttering weakly as if struggling to stay open.

“Flora,” Helia breathed, dropping to his knees beside her. His hands hovered uncertainly over her injuries, afraid to touch her and cause more pain.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out at first. Finally, she managed a whisper, her voice barely audible. “Helia…”

“I’m here,” he said quickly, his tone trembling with both relief and fear. “You’re going to be okay. I’ve got you.”

Flora tried to smile, but it turned into a wince. “I… tried to stop him…”

“You did, you did great,” Helia reassured her, brushing a strand of her hair away from her face. His hand came away stained with blood, and his stomach twisted. “you’re hurt, lets get out of here.”

“The others… are they safe?”

“They are“ he lied.

Flora closed her eyes, tears slipping down her cheeks.

Helia’s jaw tightened. “are you okay? Does something hurt?.”

“Im tired Helia, Im so tired.“

“I know, but its over now.“

Her only response was a faint sigh, her breathing shallow. Panic surged through Helia, but he forced himself to stay calm.

“lets try to stop the bleeding,” he muttered to himself, tearing a strip from his cloak to bandage a deep gash on her arm. His hands shook as he worked, every groan of pain from Flora making him flinch.

“Its alright Flora,” he whispered as he wrapped the makeshift bandage tightly. “I need you to stay awake, okay?”

Her eyes fluttered open briefly, the green in them duller than he’d ever seen. “Helia…”

“I’m here,”

As he worked on her injuries, Helia’s mind raced. He didn’t have the medical supplies he needed, and she was losing strength fast. If he didn’t get her to safety soon, he didn’t want to think about what might happen.

Gathering her carefully into his arms, he stood, wincing as her weight shifted against his own battered body. “Hold on, Flora. Just a little longer.”

The journey back to the ship felt endless. Every step was a battle against exhaustion, every jolt threatening to pull Flora further from consciousness. Helia spoke to her the entire time, his voice soft but urgent.

“Remember that time we went to the spring near Alfea? You told me about all the plants there, even the tiniest ones. You said they all had a purpose.“

Her head rested limply against his shoulder, but her fingers twitched faintly against his chest as if she was trying to respond.

When he finally reached the ship, the others were there, their faces etched with worry. Tecna quickly cleared a space on a bench, and Helia laid Flora down as gently as he could.

“She needs help,” he said, his voice hoarse. “Now.”

Bloom knelt beside Flora, placing her glowing hands over her injuries. “I’ll do what I can,” she said, her own exhaustion evident.

As Bloom worked, Helia knelt beside Flora, clutching her hand tightly. He didn’t care who saw the tears in his eyes.

“Flora,” he whispered, his voice breaking.

Slowly, her breathing steadied, and a faint blush returned to her cheeks. Bloom leaned back, her magic fading, and gave Helia a tired smile. “She’ll be okay. She just needs time to heal.”

Relief crashed over Helia, leaving him trembling. He pressed a kiss to Flora’s hand, his tears falling freely now. “Thank you,” he whispered, though he wasn’t sure if he was speaking to Bloom, to Flora, or to the universe itself.

Later, when Flora woke in the quiet of Alfea’s infirmary, the first thing she saw was Helia sitting beside her, his head resting on the edge of her bed, fast asleep.

She reached out weakly, brushing her fingers against his cheek. His eyes snapped open, and he sat up quickly, his expression shifting from surprise to overwhelming relief.

“Flora,” he breathed, taking her hand in both of his. “You’re awake.”

She smiled faintly, her voice still weak but steady. “You stayed.”

“Of course I stayed,” he said, his tone fierce. “I’ll always stay.”

MY OPINIONS ON THE NEW TEASER OF WINX CLUB SEASON 9!!!

So let me just say it right up: the designs SUCK. If they were inspired by the celebrities of the 2000s in the first place, we should be inspired by the 2010-2020 celebrities. Stella is the WORST one out of the bunch, followed by Musa, Aisha, Flora, Bloom and finally Tecna. Tecna and Bloom devoured ngl.

Oh my God, Knut is there. The ogre. He was a silly guy, now we get THAT? How is he becoming an Alfea janitor?? Is he gonna switch forms??? Or is he straight up dying???

It looks cringe. This is straight up fanfiction now. No Mike and Vanessa? Bloom doesn't get to accidentally reveal her powers either. Just... "haaaaaaAAAAGHHHH!!!" and knock out! Ew.

Bloom doesn't feel like that curious girl from before. She looks straight up like a generic main character. A "Uhm... A-a-are y-you t-talking about m-me?" Kind of girl.

We see a girl flying across the school. WHAT. Wasn't magic prohibited? How? It's a generic superhero school now.

And what the fuck will happen? Which characters are there? We know the ones that are CRUCIAL to the story outline.

Headmistress Griffin

Daphne

The teachers

The specialists (subplot shit)

Specialists are here. We haven't seen the others though.

They're still a hive mind. Fuck.

Alfea became depressed as shit. It's dull.

[coldflameficbook]

Does the Cloud Tower have a protective field? Is Kodatorta the director? Has Saladin resigned? What kind of miracle site is this? 😂

[redfountainpostin]

Ficlet

It was over. Bloom defeated Icy, Darcy and Stormy fell against the combined efforts of friends- and one more. The barrier of dark matter that surrounded the realm died when the last of the dragonflame left the Trix, so no the schools had help of authorities to take care of the wounded, regroup, and handle all the dead bodies.

But for a certain team of specialists, they had a different task ahead of them.

Sky, Brandon, Timmy… and Riven, sitting in the empty classroom instead of an office, their teachers in front of them. Saladin and Javelin were sitting by the headdesk, while Codatorta was starring out of the window, not once having looked at his students.

"The question is simple. Do you three accept Riven to stay in your squad?" Javelin asked, while Saladin stayed quiet, watching the developing bruise on Riven's temple. That was not caused by any creature, no.

"Well we don't have much choice, do we?" Sky said, sharper than he meant to. He was furious at Riven, but he usually would still pay proper respect to his elders. "You're not expelling him, or you wouldn't be asking us this".

"No, we're not" Javelin conceded "But we won't force something that is doomed to fail. It would be detrimental to all of your educations. If you do not think you can work with Riven after all of this, even knowing that he had been under influence for the most of it, you need to tell us now"

Riven had not said anything, looking down at his hands instead. He knew what Sky was going to say.

"I say we can" Brandon blurted, causing Riven to look up at him in surprise- Brandon was looking right back at him.

"I say we can too" Timmy added after a moment "I do not think it is fair to hold everything that happened against him. I know he's not perfect, but he's also a victim here" he wasn't looking at Riven while saying this, worried he might loose his nerve. He didn't want Riven punished, but he also wasn't going to sugarcoat everything. Looking at him while proclaiming he found him flawed might lessen his nerve.

Javelin nodded. "I agree, but I need all of you to be united in this. Sky?"

"What will happen to him if I say no?"

"Sky!"

"No, Brandon, I want to know. Because no other team would have him, you know that right?" the last of the question was aimed at Riven, who was avoiding eye contact, much to Sky's anger.

Javelin sighed "There was a handful of situation in Red Fountain where a boy would graduate without a team. Granted, those were all exceptions, for kids who would only join is in their senior year, possibly halfway through. It's not standard, but we do have a protocol for it, and Riven's place in Red Fountain is not standard either, so we would make it work."

Sky paused to think. On one hand, he wanted nothing more than to beat Riven to a pulp and never see him again. On the other hand, he couldn't help but remember how it was before. He and Riven were never particularly close, but Riven wasn't close to anyone in the squad. He and Darcy got together early on and he spent most of his free time with her- but how much of it was his choice? How much of Riven's life was spent under influence while Sky and Brandon chuckled about how crazy about her he was, and admitting to each other wishing they too had such a relationship? Sky remembered the worry he felt when Riven, ever the idiot, went head to head with a minotaur, or the sheer cold dread he felt when he pulled him out of the river in the Black Mud swamp, the other boy not breathing- the relief he felt when Riven started coughing out the water after CPR. Granted, he'd be relieved to watch anyone not drown, but it was personal with Riven.

And the thought of the guy spending the next two year alone… Riven may be acting a lone wolf, but Red Fountain was a place for packs.

He unconsciously rubbed the scar on his forearm where Riven bit him during their first fight.

"Fine" he finally said, crossing his arms. "I say yes"

Saladin: No one is judging you. It's understandable. Codatorta is strong and mysterious and sort of compact but well-muscled.

Griffin: I am not having sex with Codatorta. But I'm starting to think that you might be.

[floralovebot]

Any Helia and Codatorta hcs? And, with other teachers as well like Griffin and Faragonda!

OF COURSE <333

Like I said before, Codatorta is basically Helia's found family dad. They're not actually related but Codatorta has been taking care of and training Helia since he was a little kid!

Codatorta is really proud of Helia but he doesn't show it often. He doesn't want the school to be accused of nepotism and he doesn't want Helia to be bullied/ostracized for special treatment, so Coda often ends up being a lot more strict and even a bit cold to Helia in public. Obviously, Helia does understand this, but it did still sting the first time it happened.

Codatorta was the first person that taught Helia self defense! When Helia was a kid, he really liked watching the specialists but he wasn't allowed to actually join in or learn anything himself. And at first, Codatorta was very strict about this because he didn't want little Helia to accidentally hurt himself or someone else yknow? Buuut right around the second time he got kidnapped by Saladin's enemies, Coda figured he'd need to know Something so he doesn't immediately die.

Queue the first time Helia actually manages to escape capture and Coda loses his fucking mind cause the kid isn't in his little cell oh god where did he go IS HE DEAD no he's in the vents

Speaking of giving Coda a heart attack! The first time he caught Helia sneaking out? Dear lord you'd think he fucking killed someone; he was grounded for so long !! (Codatorta was Very Mad but also Somewhat Proud that he managed to do it for so long without getting caught. Don't tell Helia that though..)

Saladin assumed that little Helia would feel more comfortable around Faragonda rather than Griffin but it was actually the opposite! He really liked hanging out in Griffin's office and overall preferred the (usually) chiller vibe at Cloud Tower. Griffin would always act annoyed by him but she did start leaving more beginner friendly history and magic books on her bookcases 🤭

The three principals actually had a bet on which kind of magic Helia would end up using. Saladin was convinced that he would follow in his footsteps and become a wizard, Griffin saw promise in his use of dark magic, and Faragonda knew that he already liked fairy magic. Imagine their surprise when he just neglected magic altogether! Except for his little origami cranes of course! Faragonda was actually the one who taught him that and Griffin helped him utilize it for missions (ie tracking magic and whatnot)

I don't think Helia would ever consciously or accidentally call Codatorta "dad", but I do think it happened once when he was badly injured and almost unconscious. Helia didn't remember it though so Codatorta never brought it up.

THIS is the codatorta and helia dynamic

[darlenicy]

just enjoy sky doing dragon vodoo

the last pose tho 🤣

it's also so kindergarten-like how Riven and Sky make this whole show about themselves and with that placing the whole audience in danger

wow, after like 10 minutes someone finally decides do DO something

Making the decision that Helia and Riven have actually known each other for a while and, despite the fact that they don't hang out much anymore, got on well when they were younger

😅 ❌ 🧠 Saladin headcanons???

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

Before the Dawn. The entire trilogy of it. I should’ve set that shit on fire years ago. I’m so glad I finally deleted them.

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

I already said pregnancy in the last post. So let’s go with the teacher-student trope. I don’t know why, but I’m just not a big fan of it.

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

I won’t lie to you. Sometimes I forget Saladin exists. So I’ll have to use my old reliable Bullshit Skills, and see if I can’t come up with something on the spot.

Saladin died right before s6 and that’s why we haven’t seen him since the s5 finale. His illness came on very suddenly, but he passed peacefully back on his home realm surrounded by his loved ones. Codatorta is now headmaster of Red Fountain.

(The amount of research I just had to do for this is ridiculous.)
