CENTER OF THE WORLD [fantasy short story]

Personified immortal Stars have lived secretly on Earth throughout history. This piece takes place in 16th century Florence, right at the brink of the Copernican Revolution. Sol, the beloved sun king, is presented with an endless battle and an impossible choice. The Stars' world was created by myself and @heirmyst. Previous post: [THE THREE BIRDS] [ORION'S FINEST] [GATHERER OF GRAIN] Word count: 4,453

The air grew colder by the moment as the sun set. Sol, soaring through the overcast sky, had to stamp down the instinct to burn brighter. Instantly, as daylight faded, the flight grew tedious, but not because of the cold. Sol hastened his wingbeats to reach his destination sooner; anything to stop having to dim his flames.

Finally, he descended into the old Medici palace’s chapel, only letting the protective cloaking field drop once the walls securely surrounded him.

Beaming, he spread his arms, ready to receive his fellow Stars. “I am here!” 

His flight-blurred vision cleared, only to reveal… nothing. The cavernous space of the chapel only echoed back his own words.

And the sound of a loose page turning. 

Sol walked toward the steady, calming light that radiated from an opposite corner. Cann sat alone, hunched against a wall in a way that couldn’t have possibly been comfortable for their wings and engrossed in a bound tome.

“I said,” Sol repeated, with greater enunciation, now that he spoke only to one fellow Star. “I have arrived!” 

“I can see that, my king,” Cann said mildly, without looking up from their book. “I heard you the first time, and knew you were coming well before then.”

He stiffened. “Did I fail to disguise my light enough?” 

“Oh no, it was more than enough for the mortals,” Cann said with a laugh, their eyes glowing with lavender flame to make the point. “But there’s no hiding from me.”

Sol sighed. He folded his wings back down and leaned against the pillar facing the other Star. “Where are the others, Canopus?”

Cann shushed him, impatient. “I’m almost done!” 

“Is it truly that riveting?” Sol asked flatly. “You read too much.” 

Cann didn’t give him the satisfaction of responding to the remark, or even acknowledging that they heard it. They simply flipped through the last fifty pages in the span of a few minutes and put it aside. Finally meeting Sol’s eyes with the utmost seriousness, they said, “No such thing as reading too much.”

“There is for you!” Sol argued. “You can know anything without lifting a finger. What use would you have for mortal books?” Absently, he picked it up, ready to cast it aside before the words on the cover caught his eye. It read, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres.

“For one,” Cann said, smiling, “It’s an invaluable resource on keeping up with the mortals. I know what I know, but it’s useful to keep a finger on the pulse of what they know.”

Sol found himself leaning forward. “And… what do they know?”

“It appears that one of them has taken a shot in the dark.” They held a palm out and produced a small pocket illusion; two spinning orbs, one large and golden, the other small and blue. “He has come to the revelation that the Earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around.” 

Before Sol knew it, he was perusing the book. The words blended together, but the diagrams scattered throughout held his attention. He vaguely remembered secret keeper al-Tusi and the rest of the observatory students in Iran shoving quaint pictures in his face, some near identical to the ones in this tome. Somehow, their legacy had carried itself to a mind several lands away.

“How did the astronomers of the caliphates never come to this?” Sol asked.

“A misguided question,” Cann said, ending the illusory demonstration. “You cannot judge them by the standards we have because of what we know, especially because they were brilliant on their own terms. I believe you would be better served asking why this man did make this departure.”

But Sol’s mind did not have the space to ponder Cann’s philosophical proposals. Basking in the satisfaction of finally having his centrality out in the open, no matter how fringe this mortal’s reach might have been, was too momentous to be disrupted by anything else. 

He caught Cann’s wry, knowing stare and tossed the book back to them. “As if I needed the humans to tell me what we’ve always known,” he said, trying his best to wipe the smile off his face. “Well, leaving that… why have I returned to an empty palace tonight?” 

Cann stood, smoothly snapping to attention. “Hauntings have decided, very unwisely, to camp outside the city walls. A show of force, I gather. The others have flown out to neutralize the flock.”

“All of them?” Sol asked, surprised. “Even Sirius?”

“Especially Sirius,” Cann corrected. “Vega insisted upon having him. You know how they get when the other side of fate’s scales tips even an inch downward.”

Sol nodded proudly. “North Star V never misses,” he said. “Still. How have they not asked you to join?”

“We aren’t that desperate just yet,” Cann said lightly. “Some blasts need to be held close to the chest.”

On cue, colorful flames lit up the chapel’s entrance. As Sol hastened to adjust his crown and take his place on the steps, Cann strode forth to meet the Stars. The group, freshly out of battle, frantically scrambled to make their various reports known. V shoved their way to the front of the group, buzzing with urgent blue lightning, but at the sight of Cann, considerably relaxed. 

Placing a sympathetic hand on Cann’s shoulder, V said, “I wish you only the absolute best of luck.”

Cann only blinked at them, confused. “For what?”

“My king!” Alpha Pavonis’ cry rose above the other Stars’ chattering, catching Sol’s ear. “May I have a word?” 

Before Sol could open his mouth, Cyon sprang to hold Alpha Pavonis back. “Oh, don’t you dare!” she yelled. “You do not get to skip your way directly to the king, Pav. This is unacceptable!”

The two continued to struggle against each other, the arguing punctuated by warning blasts. V turned to Cann. “Enjoy dealing with that,” they said. “I’m going to do away with the debris from the latest flock.”

“Wait, the latest flock? Vega!” Cann protested, grabbing for their hand, but V was too fast, making a quick exit in a flash of lightning. Cann gestured wildly in Sol’s direction. 

“Stars, silence!” Sol commanded. Instantly, the room quietened. Cyon had managed to pin Pav to the marble floor, before she was pulled to her feet by Sirius, who whispered calming words to her. Satisfied, Sol made his way down the steps. “Bring forth your reports one at a time.” 

“Affirmative,” Cyon said, dropping Sirius’ gloved hand and walking toward Sol. “You see, the matter at hand is that Alpha Pav—”

Sol held up a hand to stop her. “Now, if you will begin by recounting a fellow Star’s argument, I would rather hear it from the source themself.” He glanced at Pav, who was getting back on their feet. “The sky is yours, Alpha Pavonis.”

“Ah… thank you?” Pav stammered out. Quickly regaining composure, They stood tall and trailed their peacock hued robes behind them. “My king, as I’m certain you have gathered from the North Star’s words, we have not one Haunting flock on our hands, but a ready, almost endless queue. Every time we neutralized one at the walls, another rose to take its place. We slowed it down, and even then, Vega might meet another while they’re gone.”

“Are you implying we are low on firepower?” Sol asked. “Has Sirius’ deployment not eased any such concerns?”

“Yes, but—”

“Yes, and,” Cyon corrected sharply. “Show some respect.” Beside her, Sol could have sworn he saw Sirius grinning under the cover of his mask. 

Pav glared at the two, but went on undeterred. “Why continue the grueling task of taking them out one by one, when we have what it takes to frighten them off for good?”

They paused, as if their implication was obvious. Sol glanced back at Cann, who only shrugged. They were as confused as he was. 

“Explain yourself,” Sol said. 

“Why… we have you, my king.” Pav said. “If you send a warning using the most magnificent celestial body in the sky, they’d be forced to take heed, yes?”

“Sol,” Cann began, warningly. “This proposal is too ambitious for its own good.”

“You’ve spoken above your station more than enough, Pav!” Cyon piped up. 

“Sirius,” Sol said. “Please restrain your wife.” 

“Of course, my king!” Sirius’ constant flames brightened as he reached for Cyon’s arm. “Regardless, for the benefit of the court, Pav’s suggestion would be a severe violation of our arrangements with the Medici. Any unforeseen celestial events here will be seen by the entire population of Florence, and we could be—”

“Cyon,” Sol cut in, already tired. “Please silence your wife.”

“Heard loud and clear, my king.” But she was still glaring daggers at Pav, who was looking back at her with presumptuous, smug satisfaction. Sirius was barely managing to hold her back from attacking again.

Sol decided he had no time for this. “Cann!”

Cann stepped forward, wings and arms spread to usher everyone out of the room. “Say no more. Because no one here is my wife.”

“Your loss,” Sirius said, and collective airy laughter echoed around the chapel.

Sol let himself breathe, relieved by the tension dissolving. Sirius laced his fingers through Cyon’s and led her out of the room. The other Stars swiftly followed them, their conversations now far more lighthearted. Only Pav lingered behind, slow to budge. Sol took a tentative step toward them.

“That means you too, Alpha Pavonis!” Cann ordered, cutting any action short now that Pav had no choice but to listen. “Move!” 

“All of your concerns have been heard!” Sol promised the exiting Stars. “Allow me until the next sunrise. We will proceed only with what is best for you!”

“You heard him, next sunrise!” Cann repeated for emphasis. “For skies’ sake, don’t let me catch any of you out of your quarters before then. I will know!” 

Once everyone else left the hearing range, Sol sank into the altar seat, gripping the crown on his head tightly between his hands. He only had some hours to figure this out, and failures awaited him in every direction; which of them would be less shameful to bear? 

Cann cleared their throat. “Is everything alright?” they asked, the calculated performance of the king’s advisor flawlessly shifting to the softness of a friend. 

Sol tried to smile back, but it felt hollow. It always did when he was with Cann. And yet, even as he knew there was no use, he found himself saying, “Yes. Hauntings and mortals have never stopped us before. This is an inconsequential matter.”

Cann raised an eyebrow. They both knew full well nothing involving the sun could ever be inconsequential to Stardom. 

“I… must think this over,” Sol said. “Alone.”

“If you say so,” Cann said easily, no trace of accusation in their voice. Sol watched them gratefully as they marched out of the chapel without another word. He loved it when they played along this way; it almost lulled him into the false comfort of thinking something could get past their sharp, all-seeing eyes. 

With no one except his own light for company, Sol mulled over the decision, thinking about every angle hard enough for flames to rise his fingers, carelessly scorching the wooden chair. Skies above, fragile human furniture was a pain.

He stood, hating how he couldn’t even claim ownership to the walls around him. Resentfully, he let his gaze drift over the painted frescos surrounding him, scenes of mortal processions and hunts. He’d find the pomp endearing if it wasn’t so offensive right then. These were the beings he and his people had to hide from? When would they wake up to the truth that the Stars outshone them in every way?

Except… His stroll through the hall finally came to Cann’s forgotten pile of books. On top rested the one that spoke of the sun’s centrality. 

Some already had woken up, hadn’t they?

Coming to a decision, Sol walked out of the chapel, steps as delicate as air. He could not sit idly. The lurkers thought they were out of reach, with their clever queue rotation, but Pav was right; they’d run at the first sight of Sol. He weaved through the palace corridors and bypassed the nearest window in a flash of light. 

Veiling his fire as well as he could given the stark contrast against night, he fluttered carefully into the air. 

Lightning struck the palace roof; V had arrived, landing unsteadily against the rough masonry. Sol moved instinctively, backing himself against the nearest wall to hide. Did they have to return just as he was leaving?

“Vega?” Sirius’ voice floated in, his footsteps rushing to join them. “Did you manage the mess? The wall remains untouched, yes?”

Catching their breath, V laughed. “Managed,” they repeated bitterly, with a break in their voice that made Sol worry. Were they hurt? “Guess who came to taunt me when I went to clean up?”

Sirius sighed. “Another encampment?”

“I don’t know where they keep coming from! It’s as if they can’t leave the walls unoccupied for even a wingbeat, the stubborn fucks.” 

“We outdo their stubborness, then,” Sirius said, his voice far less confident than the words. Sol’s heart sank; his strongest soldiers were battling themselves to exhaustion, all for the feeble, sheltered minds of this city’s mortals. “We need a plan of action. Between Pav and Cyon, whom do you think—” 

“Stop,” V cut in, irritated. “Your nonsense infighting can wait until sunrise. We aren’t even supposed to be out of our quarters. In, now!” 

Their footsteps and further conversation faded. If Sol’s resolve ever faltered during his exit, this hardened it beyond return. The Hauntings’ intimidation tactic could not be allowed to stand anymore.

Letting the anger fuel him forward, Sol set a course straight for Florence’s walls.

The closer he flew to the edges of the city, the murkier the sky became. Too soon, every precious star adorning the cloak of night disappeared, and he had nothing to glance up at for strength.

Enough, he thought to himself, steeling his nerves. It is I who must give them strength now. 

The weight of the blotted sky burdening his every wingbeat, Sol arrived quietly to the scene of the northern gate. Below, three Hauntings lay in wait on burned grass. Sol didn’t know it was possible to make nighttime even darker; these sentient black holes masquerading as earthly creatures always proved him wrong. He set his feet down on the wall’s brick facade, stepped off the end, and let his light burst forth. 

“Leave these walls!” he yelled.

Immediately, high whistles rang out as the Hauntings rushed into formation. One of the quicker front soldiers, clam-like in shape, launched a black-stained pearl the size of a boulder. 

Sol braced himself, burning hands ready to intercept it… but the hit never came.

Just as the cannonball corralled to knock into Sol, he was on the ground, untouched, the pearl dropping unceremoniously a few feet away from him. The Hauntings froze, confused, inadvertently allowing him a moment to regain his bearings. 

Enough to see that the stained pearl now glowed lavender.

Keeping a flame at the ready to ward off the Hauntings, Sol looked up at the wall behind him and yelled, “Cann!” 

On command, a head emerged at the top. Cann peeked down. “My king,” they greeted, not bothering to sound the slightest bit chastened. 

“What are you doing here?” Sol asked. The clam Haunting unwisely decided to rush him. Sol’s flame cut him down in an instant. “Out of your quarters, at this hour?” 

“I could be asking you the same thing!” Cann swooped down at the last word, tackling both remaining Hauntings at once. “Did you think you could hide from me?” Even as they punctuated each word with a calculated strike, Sol got the feeling the anger in their voice was not for the creatures. “Or did you want me to graciously look away, as you crept off to this endless fight?”

Successfully, Cann brought a frail reptilian Haunting flat onto the ground. The companion, an armored, plump one, continued to trade blows with them.

Sol rushed to their side, knocking the Haunting off course with one fatal punch to the head. He shook off the flame, triumphant. “That will teach you.” 

“Sol…” Cann whispered warningly.

“Don’t… think this is over,” a new voice said, wet and halting. The clam Haunting was still on the ground, a hole burned into his weak internal flesh. That did nothing to compromise the smugness of his declaration. “You can’t take us all.”

Sol’s fist burned, but Cann touched his arm, silently telling him to save it.

“Wonderful,” Cann muttered. “Another entry in this queue will be here any moment.”

“Oh, don’t act as if this was wrong of me!” Sol shot back. “Would you rather I sat comfortably in the palace while this went on? Pav said—”

“Pav is a showboating windbag,” they said drily. “Why are we listening to them?”

“It is our only option,” he said. “These Hauntings need to be cleared out, and if the cost is some inconvenience to the mortals—”

“The cost is you, Sol!” Cann’s voice rose to a volume Sol had never heard before. Softer, they went on, “You don’t have anything to prove to mortals, or Hauntings… anyone.” Desperate, they reached for his hand. “The sun’s face is all the more precious because it’s our secret. Why would you throw that away?”

“Cann…” Sol’s words died in his throat. He never considered what he’d be giving away. Even if he frightened the Hauntings, what would become of the Stars if they were unveiled to the mortals thanks to his carelessness?

He was the center of the world. For the first time, he hated that truth.

A dark mist closed in, followed by quick feet hitting the ground. More Hauntings were coming. Sol’s heart raced. What was he going to do, surrender to the enemy, or betray the secret? He racked his brain, at an impossible loss.

Until he locked eyes with the Star beside him, and everything fell into place.

“Do you know what I’m thinking?” he asked.

Cann’s smile shone even brighter than their burning eyes. “I know everything.” 

Without having to say anything else, the two of them parted, Cann holding their ground against the incoming flock as Sol took to the sky. Trusting Cann to keep the Hauntings busy, Sol watched the horizon, waiting for the perfect moment. 

The smallest glimmer of the coming dawn’s fire was all he needed. “Now!” he yelled. 

He glanced down, only to realize with horror that he’d distracted Cann at a crucial juncture. A well-toned amphibian Haunting seized the opportunity, wrestling Cann to their knees as the force of the flock descended on them. Sol hovered uselessly on the spot, paralyzed by the sight, his eyes darting between the battle below and the sunrise. 

He could not fail. Not like this.

Then, the sky cleared.

A concentrated beam of lavender light had cut through an opening between the Haunting’s limbs and shot into the sky like a beacon. It reached its zenith and dispersed, sending a dome of thin, shimmering illusion descending onto the battleground. 

A curtain. They were safe from outside eyes.

Cann brushed their horrified assailants off and struggled to their feet. They looked up at Sol. “Do it!” 

The sun was now painting the sky red. Sol caught hold of its fire and, working like a strategically placed glass, focused its wrath on the toad Haunting who had led the latest charge. The skin ignited. High-pitched screams pierced the air, from the toad and the rest of the flock alike. Sol glared, unblinking, making his silent threat clear. The sounds faded mercifully fast into the distance as the Hauntings made their escape, away from the walls of Florence. Cann joined Sol in the air, wasting no time in putting distance between themselves and the retreating flock.

“Are there more coming?” Sol asked.

Cann briefly scrunched their face in concentration, then relaxed. “No,” they said, satisfied. “All of them are retreating.”

The weight of the sky seemed to be lifted off Sol’s shoulders as the two Stars made their way to the wall. They’d done the impossible, put an end to the endless fight. 

Sol landed on a higher palisade of the wall, and beamed at Cann when they followed suit. “Let it never be said you don’t deliver, Canopus.”

“Never be said?” Cann asked. “Even by you?”

The joke lacked their usual flair. Still, Sol didn’t let that chip away at the euphoria of a hard-won victory. “You’ll catch me saying no such thing.” He clapped Cann on the shoulder. “Truthfully, I don’t know how you—”

The force of the playful hit made Cann stumble a step forward. They caught themself in time… but that slight gesture shouldn’t have fazed one of his strongest Stars at all. Sol noticed too late that they were clutching their robes pointedly to the side with both hands, as if to cover something.

He stood at attention, now alarmed. “Cann…?”

“It’s alright!” they managed through shallow breaths, smiling so genuinely that for a moment, Sol fully believed the words. “We won.”

They collapsed at his feet, and the protective dome above faded to nothing.

“No!” Sol sank to his knees beside them. He turned them over to reveal viscous black staining their robes. The lead Haunting had poisoned them in the scuffle; it had corroded deep enough to graze their skin. He brought a flaming palm to the sizzling wound. Even in the warmth of his arms, Cann was shivering. Their eyes did not open. “Fight it,” he begged.

He couldn’t win this way. This cost was too much to bear. 

“Over there!” a voice called from the sky. V led Cyon and Pav to the wall, their excitement and relief palpable through the wind. As they flew closer though, V’s smile instantly fell. The three Stars landed on the top of the wall.

“Cann, you idiot…” V cursed under their breath. “What happened?”

“I used the sun to drive them out,” Sol said, not taking his eyes off Cann.

“Oh?” Pav asked, with barely restrained glee.

“But I made certain no one would see it.”

“Naturally,” Cyon said, pointedly glaring at Pav. “Because how thoughtless would the alternative have been, right?” 

Sol’s face burned with embarrassment. As if he needed to be told now.

“Both of you need to shut it!” V took it upon themself to say. “Make yourselves useful and get them to Sirius, before the Haunting venom spreads too far.”

The Stars gently pried Cann away from Sol’s grasp. Still continuing their debate wordlessly with their eyes, Cyon and Pav flew off, supporting Cann’s weight between them. Sol watched after them, only snapping out of his thoughts when V spoke.

“The old ‘illusion of safety’ curtain trick, yes?” V asked, impressed. “Why didn’t I think of that?” 

“Would it have ended better if you had?”

“Don’t say that, it ended well enough! If the Hauntings have even half a brain between them, you scared them off for good!” V argued. “And Cann will be fine. It’s Cann, for skies’ sake.”

“They better be.”

V sighed. “I’m going to clean up this mess.” They gestured vaguely to the fires and black puddles. “Go back to the palace. See how they’re holding up.”

Sol was off to the palace practically before they finished speaking. To mask his flight, he followed a sunbeam; it was, thankfully, much easier to disguise himself in the daytime.

He practically kicked down the ornate door to the chapel. 

“Come now!” Sirius was saying. His gloves were off, and his constant flames were uninhibited as he tried to hold a struggling Cann down to the altar. He was succeeding, but only barely; Cann almost matched his strength. “Would it end to you hold still for—”

Sol cleared his throat, and the two of them snapped to attention. “Everything is in order, I assume?” he said.

“Yes, my king!” Sirius said. “But I need to attend to them at least until noon. It’s simply Haunting wound protocol.”

Cann scoffed. “Spare me the protocol, Sirius. The poison barely even took.”

Sirius crossed his arms. “And whose fire is to be credited for that?”

“If I may,” Sol said, amused. “Sirius, allow me a word with Cann. Protocol will be followed unfettered after this.”

Sirius bowed his head and stood. “As you wish.” Leaning closer to Sol, he whispered, “Make sure to dedicate at least some of your time to telling them to stay put.” He vacated the chapel, leaving Sol and Cann alone and shutting the door securely behind him. 

“Ironic,” Cann remarked. “That he believes you can tell me anything about staying put.”

Sol didn’t return the humor. “Do not deflect from the matter at hand.”

“Oh, are we doing this? Fine,” Cann said with a roll of their eyes, like they were being asked to perform a menial chore. “Yes, I’m perfectly intact and will be back to fighting shape by next sunrise. No, the poison is not your fault, and if you even try to insist otherwise, you fundamentally misunderstand why I followed you. And don’t worry, as far as the other Stars will know, your unbelievably rash stunt did not happen, and the curtain was our brilliant plan all along.” They took a breath. “Did I miss anything?”

Sol stammered a few half hearted responses, having to give up in the end to avoid appearing even more foolish. He took a seat beside Cann. “I wish you would stop taking all the gravitas out of my heartstopping speeches,” he said finally, smiling despite himself.

“You are very predictable.”

Companionable silence overtook them. Sol draped a wing around Cann’s side in case the biting cold of the poison hadn't subsided. Cann did not pull away.

“It bothers you, doesn't it?” they asked softly. “That I can read your intentions like an open book, but you can never have that certainty about mine?”

“It would help,” Sol admitted. “If I knew you intended to take every hit at the wall…”

“You couldn't have stopped me,” Cann said. “No more than I could have stopped you from sneaking out.”

“Well, thank the skies for that, I suppose.” He watched the murals around him, feeling pride, more powerful than the envy or indifference the pieces had inspired before. Despite it all, the truth remained that he’d survived more in the past hours than the commemorated mortals would face in a lifetime. He could make peace with that, if nothing else. “Stardom lives to see another day.”

Hello my dear friend! Such good letters! This is long, so settle in. Let's go!! SFW first!

Patience - Lyra is quicker to anger than Harvey, usually starting to cry, everything bubbling over as she tries to think carefully about what she wants to say before things spill over. Harvey tends to internalise things, becoming quieter, avoiding confrontation, smouldering emotions burning on the inside. When things do catch, he will speak quietly but sharply, his words like pointed barbs, because for him to have reached the point where his emotions rush out like wildfire, it must have been bad. However, as we saw in the long fic, when it becomes harder to say what you really feel, not knowing how to take that step, both of them retreat into themselves, keeping their cards close to their chest. 

In terms of patience generally, Harvey is very patient. He has to be when dealing with his patients. He is extremely patient with children, knowing that he can be a little intimidating as both a doctor and being as tall as he is. He always speaks with a polite and gentle tone of voice, one of the things Lyra absolutely loves about him. Lyra is a quiet and strong spirit, although she would not think she has any strength at all. She is a good listener and values being there for those she cares about. Harvey absolutely loves this quiet charm. 

Security - Both Lyra and Harvey came into their friendship with broken hearts and took slow tentative steps into a romantic relationship. Such was their desire to protect themselves and each other. By the long fic, they really didn’t mean to hurt each other as much as they did. Very likely they will never forgive themselves for the damage they caused to the person they love the most. 

Their height difference (Harvey is 6’4, Lyra is 5’3) means the protective aspect manifests in physical form. Harvey loves that she is small and she is all his. Lyra absolutely melts at how tall he is, feeling so safe in his arms, in her ‘Harvey Cocoon’. When they are in each other’s arms, they are home, the safest place they can be. And this absolute need for physical touch and to feel so utterly enveloped by the other also shows when Lyra wears Harvey’s shirts and he loves to see her in them. 

This protective instinct also extends to their daughter, always holding hands, wrapping her up. Although she was unplanned, they are so totally devoted to her and love it when she sneaks into their bed in the early hours of the morning, holding her close so she can dream pleasant dreams.

Xtra -  Lyra’s Harvey is very smart. He can play chess extremely well, but is also a fantastic pool player, something which has surprised the residents of Pelican Town on occasion.

Lyra became intrigued by astronomy while working at the university. Her partner before Harvey, Dr Charles Webster, was an academic, a physicist. Her favourite astronomical object is the Orion Nebula. She has three stars tattooed on her wrist, like the belt in the Orion constellation.

Now for the NSFW answers...

Dirty Secret - It is an obvious secret that these two have fucked in his office, fooled around at the Saloon, had a steamy session at the Spa, so here’s something new.

Lyra’s dirty secret is that she was once a lingerie model. Literally just one time. When she was in college, she helped out a friend, a photography student who was building a portfolio to begin looking for freelance work. After a drunken night at the bar, she promised that she would model for a lingerie shoot. When the day came, she was understandably anxious, but she trusted her friend to look after her. So, somewhere out there, are a set of photos of Lyra in her early 20s, reclining on a bed, wearing emerald green lingerie. It is most likely that from this experience stemmed her penchant for beautiful underwear, something that makes Harvey feel particularly spoiled. If he got his hands on those photos, he would possibly disintegrate.

Harvey’s dirty secret links, in a slightly embarrassing way, to his desire to become a pilot. His father is a commercial airline pilot and so Harvey spent plenty of time around airports, cabin crew, other airline staff. During his college years, he began a clandestine relationship with a very pretty cabin crew member. She seduced him when she flew into town and they spent a couple of days in her hotel room. He saw her occasionally between her trips around the country. Eventually each of them moved on. Harvey doesn’t tell anyone about this as he is a little embarrassed as to what people would think, linking his desire to become a pilot to his horny college years. Lyra knows about the relationship and has on occasion offered to dress up for him. At this teasing, he becomes embarrassed, flustered, intrigued. Maybe one day she will get her wish. 

Kink - Apart from both having very obvious praise kinks, they are extremely compatible. They both enjoy using restraints from time to time. Lyra loves the thrill of sex in a public/ semi-public place and has definitely convinced Harvey to take this risk too. She also enjoys a playful spank occasionally. Harvey loves to leave marks on her body, a little possessiveness coming through occasionally. (Shhhh… before long don’t be surprised if a little breeding kink starts to come through in the two of them.) 

Unfair - Both of them are absolute teases, loving to see the other one flustered and begging. They both know the subtle flirtatious touches that catch the other’s attention and drive them wild. Lyra will show off those freckly shoulders, the soft skin of her back and all he wants to do is touch her. She’ll keep herself just at arms length, a glance with those pretty blue eyes that tells him she is going to devour him… or wants to be devoured. Harvey will tease her with the little things that he knows she loves. Use his authoritative voice, roll up his sleeves, show a little of that chest hair.

In the bedroom, he loves to tease her, taking his sweet time with his mouth, his tongue, his fingers, a toy, until she is a quivering mess begging for release. Lyra loves to tease him by not letting him touch her, or moving slowly, building him up, not quite giving enough, until he is hanging by a thread, restraint about to break, ready to fuck her senseless. Because that is exactly what she wants him to do.

Thank you so much for these asks! They were so much fun to write!

Spa Squad Day

CHAPTER 4(FINAL): XANA AND SAGE

Xana and Rosalina belongs to @mirconreadzztuff22

Hazel and Willow belongs to @puffymucher

Vlk, Orion and Athena belongs to @imapuppy5000

Sydney belongs to @tamberwoof

Sage sighed as she watched Hazel chase after Vlk, turning in the opposite direction, Sage navigated their way to the hot house, they felt a bit guilty on not inviting her two girls to join them but Sage preferred them to not having to sit through the heat for her sake. They found the locker room that the group already dropped off their stuff, Sage uninstalled their prosthetic, locking it in case if anyone wanted to pull a funny prank with the expensive tool. After changing, Sage got into the large sauna, the place having the subtle aroma of wood as the coals radiated the steam. Sage found a bench that was big enough and they laid back, allowing their shoulders to relax. Sage was so used to the loudness from their friends and to extent their partner, it felt unnervering as they were adjusting to the only sounds of the coals sizzling. It did calm them eventually, as it reminded them of the sound of them frying up vegetables.

Fuck, Sage chuckled, is cooking and fighting the only thing I can think of? No, she figured, there was the motorcycle that Vlad and Stripes gave to them, there were times where Sage helped out with styling Velvette's hair, and there was that time when even they performed during one of those drag shows.

"Hey, mind if I sit here?"

Returning back to the sauna, Sage was surprised to see Xana there, "Oh! Oh, yeah no problem, I mean I don't know why I would have a say in where you sit."

Xana took a seat next to Sage, letting her head back as she exhaled, "True, I gotta be honest I didn't expect you of all people to be by themselves,"

Sage rubbed their buzzcut, "well I didn't want anyone risk getting a heatstroke for my sake you know? I mean it wouldn't be fair if I was the only one having a good time."

Xana playfully punched Sage's arm, "Fuck man, not even on vacation and you still think of other's before your own, haven't you once thought of something you wanted to do regardless of what other's say?"

Sage gawked, "Of course I have!"

Xana was starting to enjoy where this conversation was going, "Oh yeah? Name me one instance where you went off to do your own thing without thinking about us or your wives."

"There is that drag performance,"

"That your ex coworkers twisted your arm to join,"

"There was that dinner date with Rosalina,"

"Where you let her pick the place AND outfit for you,"

Sage was starting to get frustrated, but they thought one final thing, "Well I chose Velvette and Hazel over staying at the hotel during extermination,"

"And you were there in the first place because the hotel needed ya to make one last meal."

Sage then swatted Xana with their tail. "So what if I'm selfless? If anything my existence has been a lot better because of it."

"Heh, whatever you say people pleaser."

After a couple of minutes of silence, Sage nudged Xana, "Hey, I didn't get to say it before but I am really gratefully for what you guys did for me with the whole Crystal thing."

Xana shrugged, "Aaah, it wasn't a big deal, the cunt had what was coming to her, but you could give me another microwave if you are feeling so generous."

Sage chuckled, "like you need a second microwave, I don't think Verosika would be impressive by you putting two frozen burritos into a radioactive glow box."

Xana placed her hand on her chest, "Sage! Being sarcastic? I didn't think I would see the day!"

--------

Sage was slight disappointed that they took longer than usual during the heat treatment, but they figured that Hazel would like a couple's massage session at home, as both Sage and Xana made their way to the food court to join the others for an early dinner.

However, both barely enter the banquet when they saw the food war that was occurring, Iris, Willow, Vlk and Hazel were on one side while Athena, Sydney, and Orion were at the other. Large portions of foods were being flung across the large table, from cakes to fruit to even chunks of meat. Sage was about to say something when a large pie landed smack dab on her face, Xana hiding behind them as a shield.

The room was silent, as no one knew how Sage would react, Hazel stepped forward, "Bluebell? Sugarcube? Are you ok?" Grabbing a handful of napkins to wipe the reptiles face, but she push Hazel aside, reaching for one of the cakes that wasn't smashed yet, "You know Xana, you're right"

"Huh?"

"I should act more impulsively, at least for the next hour!" Chucking the cake at Xana's chest.

Xana cackled, "Oh it's fucking ON!"

-------

Needless to say the group wore the lifetime ban from the resort like battle ridden men.

Brother this was so much fun to write shoutout to all the pookies mentioned above

CHAPTER 3: VLK, SYDNEY AND HAZEL

Vlk and Orion belongs to @imapuppy5000

Sydney belongs to @tamberwoof

Hazel and Willow belongs to @puffymucher

Iris belongs to @helluvadyke

Hazel managed to catch up with Vlk and Sydney as they were walking towards the bathroom houses, "Hey gals! What are yalls going to try out?"

Vlk, ignoring her question looked around Hazel, "Hey where's Sage? I thought they were with you?"

"Ah, Bluebell wanted to go solo for a bit, but we'll meet up when she's done, so what's the plan ladies?"

Sydney showed Hazel the brochure, pointing at a service called Artic Cooldown, "We wanted to check out this, apparently it's a large ice bath that helps soothe sore muscles. We figured since we tend to overheat most of the time, we can try to 'keep cool'."

"That sounds like fun, count me in!"

The trio entered the bathroom, and the ice bath looked equal to a hot tub in terms of size. Before entering the trio were given robes for when they undressed for the bath. Hot refreshments were offered to the trio as they made their way to the bath, all making a collective sigh as they all dipped into the cold water.

Sydney, with cucumbers covering her eyes, waved her hand at Hazel, "When we are done we gotta plan on giving Sage something as thanks for this, I also gotta thank Clara and Odette for taking care of Pip for the day as well"

Vlk nodded, "I agree, our Sage really pulled through for this one."

Hazel looked up, "Hmmmm, well most of us are banned from the kitchen so a homemade dinner is outta the question, and we did talk about Sage doing that Motorcycle derby,"

Vlk shot up, "wait, isn't that the same derby that nearly half the competition gets ripped in half by sadistic psychopaths?!"

Hazel patted Vlk's shoulder, "You underestimate Sage, I have seen them take hits and deliver them tenfold; even without that fancy robo arm they can still put up a good fight."

Vlk sighed, "Yeah, you're right."

Sydney tossed a slice at both of them, "Hey, talk about your house-spouse later, they would like it if her girls actually relaxed for once."

Hazel tossed a few more cucumbers at Sydney, "I can talk about who I want to talk about!"

It then devolved into the trio tossing cucumbers and other food items at each other, which led them being kicked out of the bath house. Fortunately they met up with the other four (Iris clinging to one of Willow's arms, and Orion and Vlk glaring at each other.) Everyone then decided to check out the food court for a meal.

**Might be obvious from the last drawing in this post but Winter is trans male in my NGAU. When I first saw Winters design I couldn't tell if they where a boy or girl, I eventually decided Winter was a guy, but I thought it'd be interested to write him as a trans male! This is my first time writing for a trans character, if anyone wants to offer tips so that I can write him more accurately in my AU please feel free to suggest tips! Also no hate please, if you've got hate for LGBTQ+ people you're not welcome on any of my social medias** Been in a big headcannon mood these last few days so I've just been spitting out headcannon ideas for the Zoophobia gang! Mostly headcannons for the actual Zoophobia characters, not my NG's, but we'll see if any new ideas for them come to mind Sum more stuff with the vampire sisters, this time with Pepper! And her boyfriend Winter -Pepper co runs a Species Appreciation Club alongside her sister Bambi, her older sister Fransesca and dear old dad are supporters (more info on that here). Pepper specializes in prompting the clubs message of all species acceptance and inter-species couples through the clubs social media. Very peppy and chipper to match with her rare color mutation, vampires are typical not so colorful. As well as working at the Species Acceptance center she also has a small part time job alongside her friend Summer at Camilla's dance studio, where she works on the weekends. -Pepper kinda never grew out of her obsessive boy phase, she's always been star struck at the idea of love. All vampires have a natural instinct to find a host for food, being blood, and thus most vampires often disguise themselves are regular creatures in order to get close to a selected victim. The instinct has since become less deadly and dangerous for Pepper and her sisters, but she still has a teenie obsession over boys. Peppers in the past has had a crush on Zill, Jackson, Tom and Taylor - all of which she wrote about dreamily in her diary, watched them from afar (not creepy at all Peppers) and may or may not have made teenie shrines for them each. Peppers think's she's very good at hiding her affections, but she's so obvious. Painfully obvious -Now onto Winter: Winter at birth was named North,born a feisty girl with determination bigger then most adults had. He was a lil snot. During her early teen years he was very withdrawn and unhappy and he never knew why, he became pretty boisterous, the confusion and unhappiness leading to him developing a snappy temper. With the support of close friends he'd made in sport class and his family he was able to come out as a trans male, and eventually had his top surgery. Winter knew Pepper back when he was still called North, he saw a lot of his sister Summer in Peppers so ended up becoming unconsciously closer to her. Peppers is chatty, and obnoxious and sometimes a bit of an airhead, but perhaps Winter didn't find her so annoying. When Winter came to the realization he was unhappy with his body and his gender, he ended up shyly opening up to Peppers - he still feared bringing up something so serious to his dad and siblings, and despite his tough hotshot character he put up, he really wanted to find a supportive friend in Peppers. He asks shyly if Peppers could refer to him by male pronouns, just to try it out. Peppers does so without further questions, her unquestioning support is a welcome wave of relief to Winter, who learns he can open up parts of himself to Pepper's he wouldn't show to his actual family. Eventually with Peppers support Winter opens up, and his family where very understanding. His dad was a little uncultured in the topic of trans gender, but read up on the topic and had many talks with Winter to make sure he understood everything. I love the idea of Pepper's being very eager to both help and learn from Winter's transitioning. Pride is non existent in traditional vampire clans, and Pepper's had always been interested in LQBTQ and all the stuff people would do to celebrate/support its members. She was the one who helped Winter pick out his new name It's during Winter's transitioning and after his top surgery do the two start to develop a crush on each other, Winter is still a hothead and so doesn't really know how to talk mushy stuff, thinking it's embarrassing. It didn't help that Pepper was so stupidly bad at hiding her crush on him, which made him just feel more awkward. Peppers in the end asked him out because he was too shy to make the first move, and after much stammering and flustered deer bleeting Winter agreed to go on a date. Peppers ended up treating him to a day out...at the spa. They had a face mask, massage, their hair done, got new clothes - Winter will never admit he felt very relaxed after the date, Peppers thought a day out at the spa would be a nice calm way to celebrate Winter's transitioning, knowing that Winter wasn't the biggest fan of parties she tried to keep it more chill These two give me Sandy and Danny vibes from Grease (Also it's not very clear in this but Peppers is a smidge bit taller then Winter) -During his transitioning Winter also received support from his close friend Orion, who he became competitive pals with back in ZP. Orion is so so proud of Winter, literally cried for Winter when he had his top surgery. Winter is endlessly embarrassed by his goof best friends fussing, but he appreciates the fact that Orion was happy for him. -Winter also works at the Species Acceptance Club, and is a fierce supporter for the acceptance of inter-species relationships and LGBTQ kids, Winter is actually very keen to educate confused kids about LGBTQ, since he knows personally what the feeling is like. He is fiercely supportive and protective of young kids that come to the center for advice, especially if the kids don't have anywhere to turn to. Winter may be brash but he can be calm when he needs to, he insists that those kids will always have a warm meal and support at the center (he will punch a person if they say something against LGBTQ if he is in ear shot, no hesitation-) DO NOT REPOST/EDIT/COPY/TRACE MY ART
