Astoria: Fate’s Kiss and Love & Legends AU

Thought this would be an interesting idea if the two stories were connected somehow.

There is more under the Read More sign.

General

MC and Astoria Fate’s kiss (AFK) MC are canonically the same age. Depending on the situation, they have met prior.

MC wanted to see what other cities were like, so left New York. She still visits New York when she can, but prefers Chicago

MC family members can sense her aura so they aren’t worried that she’s not in the same city. That changes when all of a sudden her aura is gone from Chicago.

The WQ’s soul fragment changed how they look, hence why MC looks the way she does in comparison to some of her family members. Some of them don’t worry about it as much.

They are all really surprised, but delighted when finding out that those in the Fantasy Realm have never heard of the Greek Gods/Monsters.

August Falke

MC is the baby sister to Cerberus, Nemean, and Orthus.

Her mother had extreme animosity towards her due to her being a woman. If she was ever the one in trouble, even Cerberus couldn’t sway their mother.

She is close to Hades like her brothers are.

Her aura is a phoenix and contained in a red feathered earring that she wears. While her aura protects her, it will burn up and take her awhile to restore it if she uses it too long. In dire circumstances she becomes the phoenix and is literally on fire, though thankfully she’s not harmed by it. She also looks like she’s on fire when using the aura

August is not amused when this happens.

Due to her mother, when she meets Asta she becomes a lot quieter than normal, much to August’s confusion. Asta kind of figures it out when MC flinches involuntarily while helping Asta out.

Asta is a lot gentler to her and when he mentions how strange she’s being, informs August that while she might be strong, MC has vulnerabilities just like every human, and some vulnerabilities are far more damaging even after years of healing.

Even when she moves to Chicago, they still are close and regularly call each other. When she is sent to the fantasy land, she worries over them, because they can’t visit her all at once and she knows they’re bound to notice when she doesn’t call them.

And they do, and they worry. A lot.

She is very frazzled when she enters the Fantasy Realm, because she can’t sense her brothers and just knows she’s not in the same place as them.

She talks about her brothers but doesn’t talk about her mother, actively refuses to talk about her.

Returning to Chicago puts MC in shock and she just wanders back to her apartment. She no sooner opens it than she’s pulled into a hug by a very worried Cerberus, who after not hearing from her for a week, and Sophie saying MC hadn’t been seen, had gotten AFK MC to go with him to Chicago to look for her. He’s incredibly confused as to why his sister is dressed in medieval armor. They’re GREEK myths.

She essentially breaks down into a sobbing mess in his arms because she doesn’t know what’s happened to August and she doesn’t know how to get back. And everything is just so stressful and too much.

When she finally calms down, she explains everything to Cerberus, AFK MC, and Sophie. Sophie reveals who she is, backing up MC.

Cerberus is really reluctant at first, because...this is his baby sister. He hasn’t even met this...August Falke, and his baby sister is in love with the guy?? AFK MC smooths it over with him and he dives headfirst into looking for solutions so she can get back.

He gives her the biggest hug when she leaves.

MC’s aura helps lessen the pain of the curse, but only just.

They are all really surprised when she returns with August and are overjoyed to see her, creating a literal dogpile.

They are less pleased when they find out about the curse.

Initially they are all for making her stay, but when she makes it very, very clear she’s not leaving August, they decide to help them try and find a way to break the curse.

They all pretty much interrogate August while they’re looking for the Aisetha, making sure that this man would be good enough for their baby sister. August is a bit intimidated, but nonetheless they manage to like him and gain their approval.

They more or less welcome him to the ‘pack’. They made August promise to look after her, which wasn’t a difficult promise for him to agree to.

MC gets a surprise at the wedding when a portal appears and her brothers, as well as AFK’s MC arrive. Cerberus says it was all because of Hades and they wouldn’t be good big brothers if they missed her wedding would they?

They don’t tell her how they know she’s getting married, and she’s too happy to ask.

Talking about children is entertaining, and he asks if their children might be able to get auras. She says it’s possible, but only time would tell.

Saerys

MC is the youngest sister to Medusa. She never got involved in the gangs like her sisters did. She helped Medusa get back on her feet after Perseus took her aura.

When she meets the AFK MC, she immediately likes her. Plus AFK MC bakes some awesome sweets.

Her aura is a jellyfish and is contained within a necklace.

Like her sisters, she can freeze people to stone. Unlike her sisters, it causes strain to her eyes.

She doesn’t tell anyone what she is or what she’s capable of due to the fact that they already are nervous about her. She doesn’t need to give them legit reason to be frightened of her.

MC actually thinks that when the villagers are calling Saerys a monster, they’re referring to her for other reasons. She’s been called that before.

When she tells him that she’s been called a monster, he doesn’t understand who could see her as a monster.

When she reveals her aura to the others when Saerys goes turbo mode for the first time they understand why she kept her abilities a secret.

She nearly kills Lennox with her ability, but a soldier gets in the way. They retreat at that point and MC is pretty disoriented because of it.

She does tell them she won’t use the ability unless it’s a final resort. Saerys is perfectly alright with that, granted he’s more concerned about her hurting herself than freezing people to stone.

When she ‘dies’ and Saerys gives her a part of his soul her aura vanishes. It feels strange and she wonders how Medusa managed to do this when she lost hers by herself.

Saerys and her bond over being the only one of their kind in the Fantasy Realm. Even back in Chicago, MC is considered the only ‘gorgon’ in that city.

Speaking of returning to Chicago. When she gets back, she gets pretty much tackled by Medusa, who feared that someone, either their other sisters, their mother, or just some enemy from the past had attacked her as retaliation. Heck, she thought Perseus had been involved for a little while.

That apparently was a very...loud argument at H.E.R.A that everyone in the building heard.

Medusa is not pleased when her sister comes back with a strange man in tow. Even more when she senses that her sister's aura is no longer...there.

Finding out she died and Saerys saved her by implanting a part of his soul in her has two reactions. Her desire to maim/murder WQ rising and then hugging the crap out of Saerys, who is pretty sure she broke several of his ribs.

When Saerys regains his ability to go into turbo mode, she regains her connection to her aura.

The demon souls actually really like her and her monsterous abilities. Saerys nor MC are thrilled by this declaration by the souls.

MC is nervous because she doesn’t know what future children would be like. Saerys is quick to tell them they would be lovely, no matter what.

Altea Bellerose

MC is the daughter of Hades. No one knows who her mother was other than Hades.

While he’s a workaholic he does care for her. She helps him out along with her cousin Persephone to at least try and get him away from work, with little success.

Her aura appears as a screech owl. She has it hidden in a ring.

Hades is alerted almost immediately that MC is missing. He looks around Chicago with AFK MC, then asks Cerberus and his brothers if she has gone through the gates. He then, very reluctantly, looks at the roster of newly deceased individuals in case he missed MC’s name. Thankfully she doesn’t appear on it.

The relief is short lived, because that means he doesn’t know where she is.

She actually reveals her aura early on when Helena tries to attack Altea. It’s...very startling to say the least, and she has a lot of explaining to do.

She keeps her parentage very, very vague. She’s pretty sure that saying ‘hey I’m the daughter of the God of the Underworld’ won’t go over well.

This does lead to an argument down the road when MC finds out about Altea’s parentage.

‘You didn’t tell me about your family either!’ ‘My father is the God of the Underworld, Altea! Because that wouldn’t scream wannabe goth in any shape or manner and wouldn’t have made you all think I’ve lost my marbles!’

MC getting back to Chicago with Altea is entertaining because Hades, Persephone, and AFK MC are there and Altea proceeds to see MC getting lectured for vanishing and all of them asking where she went and what happened.

Altea low-key gets a crush on Persephone. MC is not surprised.

They meet Altea. It’s...intimidating for the wizard. Especially meeting Hades. MC is a little worried, but thankfully Hades likes Altea.

Altea’s parents are...overjoyed? They learn their daughter is in love with the child of a god. MC is amused, while Altea is annoyed. Lional is so excited when she reveals her aura.

Hades does eventually tell MC her history and family line. Altea is right there with her and letting her process the information.

Hades as well as AFK MC come for the wedding. MC has to keep her laughter down because Hades looks so out of place.

Her dress is a little more greek looking than her canon dress.

Reiner Wolfson

MC is the daughter Aphrodite, and the baby half-sister to Alex and Eros.

She became fast friends with the AFK’s MC when they met as they are the same age.

MC’s aura appears as wolves and she it’s contained in a necklace.

Yes Alex teases her when they find out her lover’s last name is Wolfson, and yes she realizes the irony.

Initially Alex thought they were losing it, or they’re tired from overworking when MC’s aura just vanishes from their radar. That all changes when Aphrodite comes down from Olympus absolutely frantic as she can’t sense it either.

AFK MC and Alex head over to Chicago, trying to find clues about where she went to no avail.

Meanwhile MC is struggling to keep the fact she’s a demigod a secret. She figures that it won’t go well for her to show she’s a demigoddess when everyone thinks she’s someone called the Witch Queen.

She reveals who or rather what she is when Reiner comes to rescue her and she summons her aura to protect Reiner from Magnus.

She explains who she is and what her life is like as a demigoddess.

She muses that Reiner’s family story is similar to a Greek tragedy, and regrets the thought when Aldric returns.

She’s actually more open to marrying. She’s the daughter of Aphrodite so it’s really not that much of a surprise.

Her aura fights within her when she and WQ are struggling for control. It’s painful and draining and the first night she scratches her arms raw.

Reiner is not a happy man when he sees that and it makes him worry for her even more.

When the WQ is partially possessing her, she gives Reiner the necklace that houses the aura. While it won’t activate for him, she’s sure it will remain safe with him and will protect him in some way.

She doesn’t realize how much that is true until they’re both sent to Chicago and she can sense half of the aura gone

When she returns to Chicago, she barely manages to get into her apartment before she’s pulled in with a big hug and starts being scolded by Alex.

And she just breaks down, much to their confusion.

She explains what happened and where she had been. That she needs to find Reiner because he’s somewhere in this world and the realm she had been in needs him. And she needs him too.

At first Alex is a little reluctant to believe her, but she points out that they’re the children of a goddess, the idea of a different realm should not be that much of a stretch. They can’t really find an argument to that.

Finally Alex agrees and along with AFK MC they begin to search for him.

Thankfully Alex likes Reiner when they meet him. They can tell he’s a good man.

Getting married in Las Vegas is...interesting. She’s sure her mother probably wouldn’t approve, but they really don’t have time for a full blown Greek wedding.

Along with Sophie, Alex and AFK MC are there as witnesses

Just seconds after they’re married and the spell is broken, in comes Aphrodite. And oh boy, is MC in trouble.

“What do you mean you’re married?!?” “Um...I’m just following your ideals on love?” “AND I WASN’T INVITED!?!’

Reiner may or may not fear for his life as the Goddess of Love stares up at him, taking in her new son-in-law. She may be shorter than him, but that doesn’t stop the panic at the possible smiting he might have incurred. Thankfully she smiles after a moment and welcomes him into the family.

Being a demigoddess did prepare her to be cordial and dealing with the council and nobles. She may not like it, but it still works in her favor.

The nobles try once, ONCE, to say MC isn’t worthy to be married to Reiner. Then Aphrodite appears looking very godly, very angry and very displeased about them calling her daughter a commoner

The nobles shit their collective pants and MC just wants to sink into the ground. Reiner finds it hilarious.

MC is low-key terrified about when she has a kid what her family is going to be like and senses that there will be many impromptu visits from them.

Iseul Idreis

MC is the baby sister to Chimera and Eagle.

Her aura appears as a lion and eagle, representing the Mesopotomian monster Anzû. It’s kept in an armlet.

Both of her brothers tease her about the fact that she has an aura that’s almost a part of each of their own. While she acts annoyed, she actually loves the fact her aura parts somewhat represent her brothers.

They are particularly protective of her and did not want her moving to Chicago, but she’s as stubborn as they are.

She initially played middleman between Chimera and Eagle in conversation, even after she moved to Chicago. After the events in Season One of Chimera’s route, she doesn’t have to play middleman and just enjoys chatting to the two of them.

They usually keep in contact with her and she does visit from time to time, getting to know AFK MC.

‘Seriously, he’s an idiot. A cute idiot, but an idiot. How did he snag you??’ ‘Hey!!’

It becomes worrying for both men when they don’t hear from her for a little while and they head to Chicago to find out what is going on. Cue them finding out she hasn’t been seen in over a week.

Meanwhile she’s having to contend with hiding what she is...well...a monster to the Fantasy Realm and keeping her aura hidden.

It is discovered that the WQ had been in contact with Typhon and that is how MC was created. Typhon then implanted memories in Chimera and Eagle about her.

It does make her hesitant to reach out to them initially, worried they’ll not see her as family.

Imagine her surprise when they literally barge into her apartment and then surprise hug her, both yelling at her, asking where she’s been and if she’s okay, as well as just saying how relieved that she’s back.

She finds out that Typhon told Chimera and Eagle when they went to him to see if he had done something to her. They still consider her their sister, even if she’s only actually been ‘alive’ for a few years.

MC introducing them to Iseul is hilarious. Eagle goes ‘older brother’ on him, making sure Iseul is good enough for his sister. Chimera is trying to not crack up laughing while still trying to be intimidating.

Magnus is very much afraid of them, as he should be. He vaguely questions his Queen’s mindset when choosing Typhon to look after her vessel.

They aren’t exactly pleased with MC going back, but feel like she should finish what’s been started.

However, they’re...very much surprised when MC comes back and ‘surprise you’re both going to be uncles’. Eagle looks like he’s aged a decade and Chimera doesn’t want to think about the fact that his sister did...that.

“Chimera, we started having sex way before-” “LALALALALALALA! CAN’T HEAR YOU!!”

They wind up being protective of her during the pregnancy, even deciding to come along when MC returns to the Fantasy Realm with AFK MC. That has both its advantages and disadvantages.

Guess who is panicking along with Isuel when MC is kidnapped? Nothing says fun like two monsters arguing on how the best way to get their sister is. MC saving herself and then giving them grief over it is a very humorous sight.

Both of them compete on who is the best uncle for Iris. Thankfully Iseul doesn’t have any brothers so there isn’t a worry in that department on the Idreis side.

Helena Klein

MC was the daughter of Zeus, but was cast away from Olympus.

Hercules took her aura when she was cast out and she’s bitter about it. She moves to Chicago to get away from Olympus, H.E.R.A., and everything else. She does not talk to any of her family members.

She happens to be visiting New York when she hears about Astraeus and the Titans fighting against the Gods, and goes further into hiding so her family can’t try to contact her for help. They didn’t help her, why should she help them?

She meets Astraeus, and surprises him by not intervening in his quest. AFK MC talks to her and they strike up a friendship but MC keeps to herself.

Being sent to the Fantasy Realm is almost a blessing, even if she is confused as to why she’s here.

She thinks for a very brief moment, this is something due to her father and is really, really ticked off.

She’s really protective of Helena, especially when she discovers all the pain Helena had gone through.

They’re relationship is a bit of a slower burn, as MC is still worried about her family and Helena doesn’t know what to make of her.

Both of them bond over being casted out from their homes for things that they had little control over. For MC it makes her fall for Helena even more because she understands her.

She tries to not be controlling, as she doesn’t want to be like her father. It throws Helena for a loop.

When she tells Helena about her family, Helena is at first stunned, but then very angry that she’s been subjected to that. And by a god no less.

She swears that MC’s family will not get close to her.

When they return to Chicago and Helena has no memories, she’s at a loss, because she would have usually gone to the gods for help, but isn’t about to do that, even if she can.

When Helena remembers, MC is so relieved because she was getting close to trying and contacting the gods if any still remain.

When they return to Chicago for the final time, MC says that eventually they’ll go to New York to visit, but only after everything quiets down there. They’re happy to remain in Chicago.

Alain Richter

MC is the baby sister of Hydra

Her aura is Cerastes and is hidden in an anklet.

Hydra is pretty cold towards her initially, making her think he didn’t like her. It’s later revealed that his attitude to her stems from his need to protect her so she wouldn’t be used against him by Hercules or the other gods.

While it kills him, he lets her go to Chicago, thinking she’s safer there.

MC is quite stunned for Hydra to be at her doorstep in the events of Season 2 of Astoria: Lost Kisses. Just as much as the fact that Hydra has a girlfriend.

To be fair AFK MC is just as surprised to see MC as well as Hydra kept his baby sister a secret.

After the events in that Season, they reconcile and keep in contact. When she suddenly just drops off the face of the earth, Hydra notices and becomes concerned and goes to investigate.

Meanwhile MC is attempting to keep the fact that she’s a monster a secret from everyone, especially Alain. While she realizes that she is indeed the past WQ before she went evil, she also realizes that becoming Cerastes has changed her.

She unleashes an icy version of the snake when her ice powers come to surface. She then very reluctantly tells Alain who...or rather what she is considered in Chicago. She also show Alain what the Cerastes aura looks like originally

Alain is stunned, but states that it doesn’t change his feelings for her.

The snake protects both of them when WQ returns and aids in freeing them.

She nearly passes out when she uses it too much when they are fighting with Reiner and the retainers.

As she relieves the memories of her and Alain’s past, a part of her wonders if she would have become like the WQ had she and Hydra never reconciled and the feeling of loneliness continued.

While the WQ is able to use the ice-serpent shape, she is unable to use the Cerastes aura in its entirety, and that’s what aids MC for revealing that the WQ was impersonating her.

Returning to Chicago is...stressful. When Alain breaks up with her, she just wanders around. She barely gets down a block before Hydra finds her and is frantically checking her, his aura checking on hers. She’s dazed but then breaks down, which does not help with Hydra’s panic.

He doesn’t believe her at first when she explains what happened and where she’s been, because even for a Greek monster, that seems far-fetched.

Eventually though she convinces him she’s not making this up, especially when she shows him the armor, and he can tell that that’s not of Earth or even Godly origin.

Initially Hydra thinks that Alain is attempting to kidnap her when they get back together. He attacks Alain and it’s only her summoning her aura that makes him stop.

He does not like Alain any more either when he finds out that Alain is MC’s lover.

Because this bastard touched his sister.

MC has to go back to defeat the WQ, and Hydra is not thrilled by this. He kept her away from him so she wasn’t involved in fighting, and now she’s been thrown into a fight.

AFK MC manages to convince him to let her go.

MC promises to visit him, and she finds a way to do so.

The whole Umbra thing is such a quest and she’s so annoyed with it, even if she does realize she needs to complete it so both worlds and all realities are safe.

She manages to make a portal so she can visit her brother. Hydra still hates Alain, but he’ll humor him or her sake.
