Okay, 1st question: how good are they at magical and/or physical combat? 2nd: how protective are they of Seraphine?

1. Edlyn is overcooked noodle and does not know how to throw a punch but will definitely try if challenged or Seraphine is being threatened. Allisandra has the strength of a bull. She can fuck you UP but she is less likely to fight unless provoked by something major. (Also both of them are about average in fighting magic but Allisandra seems above average since she has her own natural strength to add to it)

2. Eddy is the dad friend who instantly asks Seraphine who they need to fight whenever she looks remotely sad. Meanwhile Allisandra looms over anyone who talks shit about her team mates (because people talk shit about precious sun child all the time) and will engage when absolutely necessary, but knows that she should respect Seraphine’s boundaries when the matter isn’t pressing.

More of these cuties because I love them. Edlyn is French-English, Allisandra is Mexican-Chilean, Seraphine is Italian-American. All three of these Cuties belong to @theneonflower‘s Years Later AU for Little Witch Academia.

Welcome to Luna Nova!

A fanfic based off of @theneonflower‘s Future AU! Please look at these lovely babies here!

“Well,” Diana said, hands folded over one another behind her back. “We can accommodate you in some areas, but I’m afraid some regulations cannot be broken. They’re tradition, after all.” 

“Of course, Headmistress Cavendish!” Edlyn bowed. “I am most grateful for your hospitality and grace under this situation.”

Diana chuckled and smiled softly. “Yes, well, it might be a strange situation, indeed. But I like to think Luna Nova accepts students of all walks of life. Rich, poor...” She motioned to Edlyn. “Binary or not. You are the first step towards integrating co-ed, which might be seen in the future when the world catches up to the magic around it.”

“Happy to help,” Ed replied. “My mother graduated from this school and she was so proud of the fact that I’d been accepted. I’m grateful that you took a chance on me.”

“You’re a fine young student,” Diana said, offering them the school uniform. “I’m sure that if all goes well, we will be seeing more students like you in Luna Nova’s future.” Edlyn accepted the uniform and tucked it under their arm. “Thank you, Madam. I hope I can fit in well and make friends.”

“Speaking of,” Diana straightened up. “Would you care to see your dorm? I’m sure your roommates will be eager to meet you.”

Another semester in the penthouse, so it would seem. Allisandra set her old beaten suitcases down on the bed. Her roommate last semester hadn’t spoken much at all, and Alli was fine with that. She’d grown up with a large, loud family, eight siblings in all, and twelve cousins. Not that anyone was counting. She was lucky to get some peace and quiet, even though her standing with Seraphine had a rocky start. How they ended up in the Arcturus Forest, Allisandra would never know, but she accepted it as a form of luck that they’d become roommates after. It meant she had had an entire semester to make it up to Seraphine. And she had, to some extent. At least the silence between them wasn’t awkward anymore.

The knock on the door startled her more than anything. It was the afternoon on their first day back. No one had been expected for dinner until 7 PM and it was barely 5:30. Before she or Seraphine could answer, the door swung open. Obviously the knock was just a common courtesy.

“Here we are. This is your room, Edlyn. Greet your new Roommates. Allisandra Machi and Seraphine Grimassi. Girls, this is Edlyn Valiente. The first openly Non-Binary student in Luna Nova’s history. Please welcome them to our fine Academy.”

“Salut~” Eddy grinned holding out their hand. “I hope we can all get along marvelously.”

Allisandra stepped across the room and shook Edlyn’s hand. “Same here, I’m Alli.”

“S-Seraphine...” Sera was hesitant to cross the room, and more hesitant to take Edlyn’s hand when it was offered to her.

During this moment of hesitation, Edlyn hugged their two teammates. “Great! I’m so excited!”

Diana smiled apologetically as she caught Seraphine’s eye and closed the door. It might be a long semester but she had faith in the three of them. Or- at least in Seraphine.

After Edlyn released the two of them, they turned to look around the room. “Woah. This place is nice and roomy, not at all what I was expecting. Maman said that it would be cramped.”

Allisandra shrugged. “This place is huge. But then again, I had a barn attic to share with two of my sisters.”

Edlyn looked disturbed at the thought of living in a barn. “What kinds of animals were in the barn?”

“Rats, mostly.” Allisandra said, plopping down on her bed. “But not that bad, honestly. We had a couple horses named Adios and Amigo. Ironically, Adios was the friendly one who never left your side and Amigo spat on people and quite frequently roamed a little too far for comfort some times. We used to have cattle but thems too much work. Instead we got a goat named “Nina” but she only gives milk to my mother.”

Seraphine seemed to be a little more invested now that the subject was on animals. “We have a pony. Her name is Tesorina. I got her for my 10th birthday. Mom wanted me to train her to be a show pony, but she didn’t have the ability to jump high. I had to beg her to let me keep her. We also have five dogs, a parrot, and a few other animals, but the big cats don’t stay often because they try to eat Arcobaleno.”

“You named your parrot ‘Rainbow’? That’s adorable~” Eddy sang, causing Seraphine to look away. This instantly made Edlyn want to make sure Sera knew they weren’t poking fun. “My cat’s name is Earl Grey, because he likes to drink tea and he’s a grey and white cat.”

Alli giggled. “I wish I had a cat. They’re so fluffy.”

“Well I have a cat, a spider named Eek, a snake named Boo, a dog named Bones, and a frog named Bugga. Though Earl Grey is Maman’s cat. She’s had him since my dad left us. But the rest are mine!” Eddy crossed their arms proudly.

For the first time since Eddy arrived, Sera smiled, if only for a second. They were going to get along just fine.

The Good, The Bad, The Beautiful

Years Later AU drabble with the purple team. Based on a concept I had while talking to @theneonflower about our children

“I never wanted that for you,” Seraphine sniffled, holding Allisandra close. “I never wanted to drag anyone into my problems. I’m so sorry, Alli. I’m so so sorry you felt like you were ever alone.”

“Now hang on just a second, Sera-bear,” Edlyn planted a hand on Seraphine’s shoulder and gave her a soft smile. “You are not to blame for this. We wanted to be by your side every step of the way, right, Alli?”

Allisandra nodded, wiping tears from her eyes. “I-I wanted to support you, both of you, and I-” she cut herself off with a long sniff. “I know we’ve been roommates longer but I just couldn’t bare the thought of either of you feeling worse because you had to carry my problems on top of your own.”

“Alli, Alli, no.” Edlyn cupped Allisandra’s face in one hand and wiped away her tears. “You’re not a burden, Hun. We’re a team. Depending on each other and helping each other is what we do, alright?”

Seraphine sniffed and hugged Allisandra tighter. “I was so caught up in my own world that I didn’t even bother to consider if yours was okay... I know you don’t think it’s my fault, but I can’t help but feel that it is, and I’m sorry for that as well.”

“I-it’s okay, Sera!” Allisandra frowned. “I... I didn’t give either of you a chance to know about my problems, so you really, really shouldn’t blame yourselves.” She pulled the two of them closer, sniffing. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you sooner...”

Edlyn pet Allisandra’s head softly, still wearing a soft, comforting smile. “It’s okay. You weren’t ready. And that’s okay. We’re sorry that you felt like you couldn’t tell us.”

“Yeah,” Seraphine said in agreement. “We’re a team, Alli. We stick together through the good and the bad.”

“And the beautiful,” Edlyn added, planting a kiss on Allisandra’s forehead.

Allisandra bit down on her lip to keep it from quivering longer before she hugged tightly to both of her team mates. “I love you, both of you, so much...”

“We love you too,” Seraphine said softly, patting Alli’s back. “And we’ll always be here...”

Just Passing Through

A crossover fic of @theneonflower‘s Years Later AU and @azurathemagician‘s Small Plum AU!

“I cannot believe this!” Edlyn threw up their arms, cursing at the sky. “Of all the stupid, idiotic, reckless things you could’ve done, you opened up an inter-dementional space-time portal and got us blasted to Abyss knows where!”

Their face was so red from yelling it was becoming hard to see the freckles peppered across their cheeks and nose. “I was here for moral support, because I thought this was just going to be a simple astrology spell, and now look where you’ve landed us!”

“Where did we land?” Allisandra asked, removing her orange eyes from the pacing non-binary to glance around. This was... Luna Nova, but the air felt different, unsettlingly so. Almost as if they didn’t belong there. “Do you... feel that?”

“Soul shattering regret? Because I feel that every time we have to leave Seraphine alone. Can you imagine how she’s going to feel knowing we’re gone? She’s going to be devastated!”

Seraphine was flipping pages in one of her tomes, trying to find the answer to one of her homework assignments when she felt a sneeze coming on. She thumbed her place and half closed the book while she leaned away, nostrils revving up to expel air in a cute, kitten-like sneeze. “Huh... Must be the dust...” she mused to herself before continuing to read, grateful for the peace and quiet of having the room to herself.

“I’m sure she’s fine. And besides, I think we can replicate it easy enough. We just need to find the right spellbook and we’ll get back to our timeline.” Allisandra patted Edlyn’s shoulder. “Come on, Big Guy. You really don’t wanna go exploring time and space?”

“I-I...” Edlyn frowned, finding themselves unable to protest. “I guess now that you put it like that, it is a cool, once in a lifetime thing... Who knows, maybe this place has something that could be useful on our quest to help Sera unlock the powers of the Claiomh Solais.”

“Exactly~” sang Allisandra as she hooked her arm around Edlyn’s neck. “Besides, there could be cool inter-dimensional plants that are unrecorded in our universe.”

Edlyn’s eyes sparkled and they sighed happily.“You had me at inter-dimensional plants.” Suddenly the non-binary noticed someone in the distance, a dirty-blonde girl with a Luna Nova uniform. Edlyn squinted at the figure, trying to decide something. “Is their sash color...”

“The same as ours?” Allisandra tilted her head.

“No, it’s... definitely a different shade of purple. Ours is... more magenta? Yeah.”

Allisandra shrugged. “Either way, let’s see if she can’t help us out a bit.”

“Yeah!” Edlyn rushed off, almost too eager to interact with someone from a different time and place. Allisandra blinked away her initial surprise before she chased after Edlyn full force.

“H-hey, Eddy! Wait for meeeee~”

Ume had been on her way to class when she heard the shouting coming from across the courtyard, voices entirely unfamiliar to her to match the strangers off in the distance that were drawing near at an alarming rate. “U-uh?” She blinked, unsure how to react. Were they new students? Wait- were they wearing almost the exact same sash color? Copy Cats...

“Excuse me!” Edlyn bounded over with the energy of a puppy in a dog park. “Hi, yes, my friend and I were wondering if you could help us? We seem to have- erm- gotten a bit lost.”

“O-oh, sure!” Ume scratched the back of her head. “Happens all the time. Our school is pretty big. Are you two new?”

“Oh- well-” Edlyn glanced back at Allisandra for confirmation.

“We’re not from around here,” Allisandra said, shrugging. “Eddy and I are--”

“We’re from another dimension--” Edlyn cut in, sweating nervously.

“Edlyn!” Allisandra elbowed her team mate. “Not cool. You can’t just tell people that! What if that opened up some sort of space-time riff and we all got sucked in?”

“Sorry...” Edlyn frowned. “But she deserves to know the truth if she’s going to help us--”

“I-I’m sorry. Space-time? Who are you?” Ume blinked, brows creasing with stern confusion.

“Oh- right. Introductions. I almost forgot.” Edlyn bowed. “The name’s Edlyn Valiente but you can just call me Eddy. I use they/them pronouns.”

“Allisandra Machi,” Alli crossed her arms, not nearly as fanciful as Edlyn had been. “I opened A Ley Line to this world by mistake and now we need to open another one and get back.”

Ume nodded slowly, trying to take it all in. “Well I’m Ume. Ume Kagari-Cavendish... It’s nice to meet you both,” she curtsied.

“Wait-” Edlyn’s eyes went wide. “Cavendish like Headmistress Cavendish? I thought she and Professor--”

Allisandra put a hand over Eddy’s mouth. “Just because they didn’t have kids in our universe and practically adopted Seraphine doesn’t mean they can’t have kids in this one. That’s what makes it alternate, Eddy.”

Seraphine sneezed once more, having to quickly hold the book over her head while she did so. Perhaps it would be best to move on to a new book since this was the third time she’d sneezed while holding it. “I guess the universe is trying to tell me something...”

“Woah woah, wait- We’re seriously not going to discuss the differences between our worlds? I wanna know what my moms are like!” Ume said, crossing her arms.

“Look- that’s unimportant. We need to find out if there’s a way for us to return home,” Allisandra sighed. “Besides, we have other obligations waiting for us.”

“Yeah!” Edlyn said, parental instincts kicking in. “Though if we can get back and forth safely, maybe that means we can come visit more, or bring you over to our world, go on cool adventures together--” Edlyn’s eyes lit up and they turned to Allisandra with a grin. “Next time, maybe, we should bring Seraphine along...”

Seraphine had just opened up another book when she sneezed hard core into the title page. “Oh, come on!” She tossed the book aside and laid back on her bed, groaning. “I wonder what Alli and Eddy are up to,” She mumbled, glancing at the door expectantly.

“Okay, so you’re probably going to want to hit up the library and look at Astrology books right?” Ume smiled. “I can take you there and hopefully keep you out of trouble. Though that’s not so easily avoided with me.”

“Us neither,” Allisandra agreed, hands behind her head as she walked.

Edlyn skipped happily through the halls, only stopping every so often to encourage the other two along. “Come on, slowpokes!”

When Edlyn and Allisandra arrived in the library with Ume, they were surprised to find very little differences between the one they knew and the one before them. “Woah...” Edlyn walked through, “Even the layout’s the same...” The only minor difference is that there was no enormous shelf full of “Valiente’s Volumes of Herbology” which made Edlyn fairly disappointed.

“Maybe we don’t exist in this timeline,” Allisandra tried to reassure her friend, giving them a pat on the shoulder.

“Maybe,” Edlyn sighed, sinking into a chair with a pout. “Still would’ve been cool.”

“Oh, hey! I found it, guys!” Ume called out, pulling a book from the shelf. “Space, Time, and Leylines. Everything you need to know on navigation.”

Allisandra quickly rushed to grab the book from Ume’s hands. “Mi Amiga~ Gracias~” She planted a kiss on Ume’s cheek, causing them to turn scarlet.

“Now we just need to return to the field and open up a portal.” Edlyn stood up. “Though it’ll be sad to leave you behind Ume. You’ve been such a help.”

“It’s okay,” Ume smiled softly. “I have a feeling you’ll be back.”

“Where have you been?” Seraphine asked, watching Allisandra faceplant into her bed like she had no energy left in her. Edlyn had rushed from the doorway to Seraphine’s side to hug onto her.

“You have no idea, it was so weird. We were in a whole ‘nother dimension!”

“Literally?” Seraphine asked, raising a brow and gently pushing Edlyn off of her.

“Literally,” grumbled Allisandra, voice muffled in the sheets.

Seraphine sighed. “I can’t leave you two alone for a second, can I?”

“Hey- hypothetically, we left you alone, which I was really upset about,” Edlyn pouted. “Speaking of which, how was your afternoon?”

Seraphine shrugged. “Quiet. Dusty.”

Edlyn’s eyes sparkled. “Just like the library?”

Seraphine smiled softly. “Yeah, just like the library...”

Freckles and Consolations

Another Purple Team Drabble, yay

Purple team is part of @theneonflower‘s Year’s Later AU 

Allisandra’s eyes traced constellations in the sky like one traces their own old scars, carefully, meticulously, endlessly. She found similar patterns in the freckles that splashed across Edlyn’s face, and the moment she noticed this, she became interested in pointing out the constellations of her roommate’s face, encouraging Seraphine to do the same, as if drawing an elaborate map to help them find their way back home to their team’s personal parental figure. She’d only given up after a moment or two when Seraphine showed her clear disinterest and rolled back over to look at the stars.

The three of them had been laying beneath the stars for hours, a triad of lazy kids who had nothing better to do on a Friday night than lay a blanket down on their balcony and gaze up at the night sky. It was Edlyn’s idea, of course. But that was only because Allisandra had suggested they do something together since Seraphine was still having trouble getting to sleep. Edlyn had hoped this would bring peace to Sera’s restless mind, and although Seraphine was grateful, she couldn’t say it was doing her much good.

“See that star over there? That’s Sirius, The brightest star in Canis Major, one of Orion’s hunting dogs. If you look there, past the Gemini constellation you can see Orion’s belt.” Allisandra motioned out to the great expanse of sky with a soft, light smile. The only word Sera heard was dogs, and she glanced over, disappointed that she was unable to draw the connections herself.

“Ooooh- let me try,” Eddy pointed to a star above the Orion’s Belt with a wide, care-free grin. “I’m gonna call that one Lumi.” Sera pursed her lips. “I don’t think that’s correct. Alli? You’re the expert.”

“No,” Allisandra said with a soft  chuckle. “There’s no star called “Lumi in the night sky. Yet. I don’t think. And that one already has a name. It’s Betelgeuse.”

“Betcha can’t say that three times fast,” Edlyn teased, and Allisandra opened her mouth innocently enough to accept the challenge, only to be cut off by Seraphine.

“Stop right there! That movie is creepy enough, I don’t want to relive it.”

“Movie?” Allisandra rolled over with interest. “Can we watch this Betelgeuse movie?”

“Not tonight,” Edlyn said, closing their eyes. “We’re chilling out here for now.”

“Agreed,” Seraphine said, somewhat relieved. She shifted her gaze and caught glimpse of the North star, glistening above her, inviting her to dance amongst the other gaseous giants in the endless expanse of space. “I’m content just being here...”

“Dawwwww Seraaaa!” Edlyn rolled over to throw their arms around the small girl. “We like being with you too~”

Seraphine wanted to protest but Allisandra joined in and she was sandwiched between her two dorks of teammates. The only thing she could do is accept her situation and hope that they would let go... Although... this was somewhat comfortable... She couldn’t fight her heavy lids, the warmth between her friends, the cool night air flush against her cheeks, the gentle coos of night creatures like pooling tides, gentle rise and fall, repetitive crashes that were gentle and shoosh like. When she opened her eyes again, the stars were gone, and all was still. She was in her bed, only there was still the warmth of her team members at her side- er- sides. She could see the shadows on the ceiling receding into themselves and found some comfort in the gentle slumbering sounds of those beside her. It was impossible to will herself to stay up any longer, and she was asleep again in a matter of minutes.

[theaceofgays]

I bet Alli could lift the teams spirit as high as she can lift the team itself.

Well- Alli’s the chill one. If anyone’s raising team morale it’s probably Eddy... But yeah, Alli can lift her entire team with one arm.
