The ghouls with kits!

Dew's weirdly good with kits. Like, no one wants to trust him alone with the newborns because he can be pretty chaotic, but he knows to be gentle with kits. He picks them up, lets them curl their tails around his fingers and arms, and coos over them (when no one's looking).

Aether doesn't like holding the kits. He likes kits, and he thinks they're cute, but he'll watch other people holding them instead of holding them himself. It's just, he's so big, and they're so tiny, and he's worried about accidentally hurting them by holding them too tight.

Rain is the same in the way that he doesn't like holding the kits, but for him, it's more due to the fact that he's very aware that they could poop or puke on him at any given moment. He doesn't want that.

Swiss prefers to be around older kits, when they get to their toddler stage. Sure, newborn kits are cute, but they don't really... Do anything. He prefers it when they're up and toddling around and trying to mash circle shapes into triangle holes. He joins in with the games and even occasionally brings his acoustic guitar down to the crèche to play for the kids.

Cumulus volunteers as a wetnurse when she's in the ministry between tours. She absolutely adores snuggling with the kits, it's a good way for her to unwind when she's at home. The ghouls all try their best to keep eye contact with her when she's casually feeding someone's kit. They mostly fail at keeping the eye contact. Cumulus knows what they're trying to do, and it always makes her laugh.

Mountain prefers to visit the nursery late at night. He'll come in when it's just the midwives there, when he can't sleep, and he'll ask if there's any preemie kits that need cuddle therapy. The midwives always seem to find a kit for him to cuddle.

Cirrus will hold a kit, but she's not 100% comfortable with it. Cumulus will hand her kits to hold while she gets set up for a feed, and both Cirrus and the kit will look at each other like "Glad to know that we're both uncomfortable with you holding me."

Sunny loves kits. Loves, loves, loves them. She gets so excited whenever anyone recommends a walk down to the nursery. She'll stand for hours with her hands pressed against the window of the NICU, watching in at the tiny kits, chirruping at them even though they probably can't hear her.

Bonus:

Copia hasn't held a lot of babies in his life. He didn't tend to have friends or family that were having babies. He'd held a few babies from the previous Papas' prime movers, but once you've held one baby, you've held them all, really.

However, a ghoul kit wasn't a human baby. Cumulus gave him his first kit to hold. They were heavier, yet about the same size as a human newborn. They had tiny horn nubs and a little tail that wrapped around his forearm as soon as they were settled.

They gristled, then let out the softest purr Copia had ever heard. They were warm, and soft, and just... Perfect.

Copia liked holding ghoul kits.

The ghouls as things me and my friends have said pt.5

Aether: You need to get warm and soupy. NOW!

Cirrus: All life problems can be solved with either water or a knife

Cumulus: Even if I make out with a woman right now I won't be as gay as these cishet boys.

Dew: I'd give myself a 1 star review, too difficult to look at for too long because I am *that* pretty. (bonus; he flips his hair sarcastically)

Mountain: I'm in a fight with Ikea

Rain: It seems British, that is the problem

Sunshine: I am not up to date with my jesus lore, give me a second

Swiss: I'm so babygirl coded

[feralghxuls]

could you tell us abt those teeth thing headcanons you mentioned in the tags? i am v interested

YES I COULD

i am SO glad you asked i love this concept very much

it's based on the way that people who work with big cats will often work with them until the animals allow them to touch their teeth, which is mainly so that they are able to do periodic examinations and so they won't flip out if they need dental work or something like that, but it's also a huge show of trust between animal and handler

for simplicity's sake, i'll go through the ghouls with the idea that it's copia or terzo doing this, with some extras for those who have notably different responses to other ghouls doing this rather than their papa

headcanons about ghouls getting their teefies examined under the cut!

aether is a very good boy, his ears go down a little when copia approaches him with the intent of touching his teeth, but he opens right up when asked and will hold still for as long as he needs to. but he will be whining softly in the back of his throat the whole time, and when he's done he looks a little bit like he's going to cry. it's very stressful for him but he Will Do It when asked

cirrus does not like it AT ALL. copia was shocked when he asked her to open up for him the first time and she pinned her ears and growled at him. he tried to be placating, explaining that it's necessary, but she wasn't having it. they had to call in backup (mountain) to hold her still and even then she was still shrieking and squalling like she's being killed. copia had to learn how to be very quick about it, and the second cirrus gets to have her teeth back she shakes it off and acts like nothing happened at all (only cumulus and mountain have any chance at touching her teeth without it being a full-on fight for their lives)

cumulus is very cooperative! she kinda really loves it actually, she already has her mouth wide open and teeth bared for examining before copia even gets close enough to touch, all ^.^ cause she knows she's got good teeth and that the others aren't quite as willing. and also, she'll never admit it but she likes the attention and the praise when copia says her teeth are surprisingly much sharper than they look (he definitely nicked his fingers the first time and she kissed it better)

dew is...temperamental, to no one's surprise. when copia approaches to examine his teeth, the phrase "if looks could kill" still doesn't scratch the surface of the death glare dew gives him. he scowls and growls and resists when copia slips his thumb into the side of his mouth, but he's surprisingly patient once he's in there. dew won't allow it forever, so copia has to be pretty quick about it or he definitely will lose fingers. there's also plenty of times when dew straight up refuses, and they have to call in aether or rain to pry his mouth open and hold him still

with terzo he was a little more willing, partly because terzo spent the whole time telling him how pretty and sharp his teeth are & he took pride in that. it took several months before he allowed terzo to touch his teeth though, and even longer with copia

mountain keeps up a low, terrifying growl the entire time copia approaches, ears pinned and everything, but the second copia starts to reach for his mouth he opens it himself rather than having to be made to open up. he still keeps up that growl but surprisingly, he's willing to hold still for as long as copia wants to poke around in there (after copia figured that part out, there was one time he spent quite a while, absolutely fascinated by how sharp mountain's molars are and his sets of long double canines)

rain doesn't like this at all. he will cooperate, because he respects and trusts copia, and he won't growl or anything but his mouth does start to slowly close down the longer copia takes, a subtle threat to hurry the fuck up or lose a finger. there's been a few close calls where copia wasn't paying enough attention (too focused on all the little razor sharp needle teeth between rain's canines and how it kinda looks like he's got two rows...) and had to jerk his hand back at the last second. as soon as copia's done, rain skitters off to go recover from the whole ordeal. swiss has special teeth touching privileges though, and rain accepts this from him with great affection.

swiss is surprisingly squirmy about it. he wants to be good, he really does, but there's just something about the feeling of fingers on his teeth that he really can't stand. especially when copia rubs across his molars, he's accidentally bitten down on him before (not enough to draw blood, and he apologized abundantly after, but. oops. copia is more gentle in the future). he definitely clings to copia's arm while his hand is in his mouth, and his tail is a damn weapon to anyone within range. copia wishes he could spend more time looking at swiss's teeth though, because he, like mountain, also has double canines, the outside ones not quite as long as mountain's but just as sharp. when he is done, he steps back and licks over his teeth & lips like a dog who's just been given a spoonful of peanut butter (which copia privately thinks its fricken adorable)

stratus likes to snap her teeth as copia approaches, but she's also grinning like a little imp. she thinks it's funny how he flinches a little and pretends like he doesn't, but when it comes down to it she opens wide and even pulls her tongue out of the way for him. but it's a bit of a trap; she won't fully chomp down on him, but she does gnaw on his hand while he's trying to feel around in her mouth. mostly she doesn't draw blood, but she does have lots of sharp little teeth like a kitten, so it happens on accident. don't worry though, she always licks it better (no matter how many times copia gently tries to explain to her that the healing properties of ghoul saliva doesn't really work on humans)

BONUS

alpha will absolutely refuse to let terzo anywhere near his mouth, except to bite him. (that's his story, anyway. they'll take it to their graves but he does let terzo check his teeth as long as there's absolutely no chance anyone else is anywhere nearby). he puts up a good fight with secondo but eventually relents, because secondo doesn't hesitate to get mean as fuck about it. and he doesn't get a choice with primo. with primo, he hardly gets the chance to think about it, the old man is extremely spry and very good at lulling alpha into the false complacency with conversation, and then he springs it on alpha and the whole thing is over before he even processes what happened.

(and just for shits and giggles, and because i have been talking about them lately: he growls and glares the whole time when swiss pries his mouth open, putting up a good front. but he always lets swiss poke around in his mouth for as long as he wants and he always opens up on the first ask. (this wasn't true the first time, or several times after that; he put up a good fight but swiss eventually won, because he always does))

omega is a good boy for terzo and only terzo. even then he still resists a little, tipping his head up out of reach until terzo reaches up to slip his thumb into the corner of his mouth, and once he gets his mouth open, he's very good and patient, doesn't even whine like aether. with secondo, he definitely resists a bit more, tossing his head around even as he verbally agrees to open up, he won't at first. again though, good boy once his mouth is open. primo asks him once, and barely gives him the chance to answer before he does the same thing he does to alpha, quick as a damn snake and it's over before he knows it. though sometimes primo will spend a while exploring inside his mouth, he mostly is just very deft and professional about it.

ifrit is the goodest boy. he loves having his teeth examined and likes to follow terzo's fingers around in his mouth with his tongue, fascinated to feel what terzo is feeling. he always asks if he passed after, and terzo smiles at him and says his teeth are in excellent form as always. sometimes he tracks down his bestie swisstopher and just goes :V at him until swiss pokes around in his mouth and ifrit purrs at him the whole time. he loves it.

mist is okay with it, you have to catch her in the right mood (which terzo has terrible luck with). he learned quickly that if she's not having it, it's best to give up and try again later because he's liable to lose half his fingers and his bassist if he pushes it. if she is in a cooperative mood though, she's still not exactly nice about it. she gives him a nasty side-eye the whole time and barely opens her mouth wide enough for him to get a couple fingers in there. however, she almost always will let omega into her mouth, so terzo mostly just lets him handle that. they have a weird relationship, built on high levels of mutual respect while also keeping each other in check & being unafraid to call each other on their shit.

chAir is an absolute monster if anyone but ifrit tries to open his mouth, and even then he Grumbles and growls about how ridiculous and demeaning this is. ifrit just shrugs and keeps at it, says it's important and has to be done, a ghoul's teeth are vital organs. to which chAir scoffs and mutters something about doubting whether or not ifrit would even know if anything is amiss if he thinks teeth are organs. (ifrit and chAir also have a strange relationship, in which ifrit adores chAir and chAir is a grumpy old man who begrudgingly accepts ifrit's affections)

terzo tries to insist that his human dentist knows what they're doing, but omega insists he hush and let him look. he is fascinated by terzo's blunt molars and his tiny, cute little canines, and spends quite some time running his fingertips over the smooth edges of his teeth until terzo's jaw aches.

copia thinks it's very sweet of his ghouls to try to check his teeth, but he also has a dentist and can they please do this one at a time and not four of them at once. mountain wants to know how his eensy flat molars chew anything at all, stratus says that he ought to sharpen his teeth more often and is puzzled when copia explains that it doesn't work like that. swiss spends a while prodding at the sharpest edges he can find and laments that he can't get any of them to prick his fingertips, and how it must be difficult for copia to live like this, unable to bite his partners effectively. dew thinks copia is doing this for attention (he also wants to poke around in copia's mouth, but he'll never admit it).

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Hey, hope you're doing good. Could I request air with a new summon who is really scared of everyone but him? Sorry if it's difficult to understand my english isn't the best

I’m doing good! I hope you are, too! :) and your English is perfect, I understood exactly what you’re asking for! ❤️

And I’m very excited, because I always love pairing the grumpiest ghoul with the sweetest characters! XD

Air friendship/platonic

Air Chaperoning a New Ghoul that’s afraid of everyone… But Air

~Ever since Air retired from the band he doesn’t really have that many Ministry duties. Then again, very few clergy members are brave enough to ask the oldest and grumpiest ghoul to do much of anything. He’s happiest stalking around the library and finding small tasks to keep himself busy. But you can only sort the books and help siblings so many times before it becomes a tedious routine. Air, one day, found himself bored.

~Air being asked to help out a new ghoul summon, one da, was a very refreshing request. It was Something he hadn’t done since he adopted his kit, Cirrus. And teaching was something he certainly didn’t undertake since his two protégés Cumulus and Stratus. But when a nervous Bishop INSISTED he help with a new air ghoul, how could he refuse? Air, despite his grumpy nature, is the best qualified for this!

~Air wasn’t sure what to expect when he finally met you… but this wasn’t it. You were the biggest nervous wreck he’d have ever seen. Definitely not from his tribe of stoic and immovable ghouls. You reminded him more like the birds of Earth; easily startled and ready to take flight at any moment. Air was sure that if you had wings you would have already flown out of the window and away from the ministry. Actually, you were trying to claw your way out of one of the windows to freedom. None of the humans or helper ghouls wanted to go near you!

~Ironically, you bolted and hugged the older ghoul the moment you sensed he was there AND an air-kin. And truthfully, you didn’t care that you never met him before! You were summoned so suddenly, pulled from Hell into a new world, and you were surrounded by weird Not Ghouls that you couldn’t understand! Seeing Air was a relief, and you weren’t going to let him go!! You didn’t want these human things around you anymore!!

~Much to the surprise of everyone, Air was able to gently put his arms around you and calm you down. He gave no explanation, just a gruff, “they’re scared.” Before guiding you out of summoning room. No one was going to object to him taking over. Quite frankly, you looked terrified of every ghoul and human you encountered! You refused to move out from behind Air the entire time he grabbed your uniform, got your supplies, and fed you. Later you knew this was you being in shock from the summoning; but you were just so grateful he was patient with you. Even when you were ready to flee every time you encountered someone you didn’t know.

~Even after settling in after a few weeks, you found yourself still very jumpy and nervous. You came from a particularly dangerous area of Hell. One where you never knew if there were sky predators who were ready to gobble you up! So you and your family were used to having to flee in a moments notice. Air seemed to get that, and didn’t judge you for it. In fact, he made you feel safe. Despite not believing him at first that there WERENT any hell beasts on Earth he needed to protect you from! Air would also be lying if he didn’t find it funny you fear-punched Alpha the first time you met him!

~You got to crash in his room the first couple of nights. He refused to share a nest, but was happy to make you up one of your own. Sometimes, you visit and hang out with him as a safe spot to relax.

~Air took a liking to you, even if you were a handful when nervous. He likes getting to show you the new human world and it’s strange ways. Air taught you to take better control of your anxiety… ok, well- he’s currently teaching you slowly! Air helped you start thinking tying to use your fear of the world as a strength and extra source of energy. He himself isn’t social, but he’s teaching you to be less afraid of others.

~You both make a funny sight together, with him being so tall and stoic and you being shorter and constantly hiding behind him or hanging off of his shoulders. He doesn’t seem to mind when you nervously use him like a pole to keep away from anyone you don’t know! Others have often found him quietly sorting book returns in the library while you are on his shoulders, nervous and trying to perch.

~He is slowly introducing you to the other air ghouls in the clergy. You’re still a little afraid of Cirrus and Stratus, but you’ve bonded very closely to Cumulus!!

~Air is happy to be your bodyguard when you need it. He won’t let anyone near you if you don’t want them! He’s scary enough on his own that no one tries to fight him.

summary: breakfast with the ghouls, rain thinks dew is pretty. [ft. albino dew and telepathy]

word count: 1.3k?

rating: G [T?]

snippet:

he's been staring all morning, as much as he's been trying to hide it. when he had walked into the kitchen in search of coffee, he instead found a half asleep dewdrop making eggs. he had frozen, not expecting anyone else to be up that early, and went about making his coffee as quietly as he could. dew didn't say anything to him, simply shifted his slouching form further down the counter- to get away from him, rain supposed.

rain shifts in his seat, letting his gaze fall back to his half eaten breakfast as dew lifts his head from his own breakfast, similarly uneaten.

he's been staring all morning, as much as he's been trying to hide it. when he had walked into the kitchen in search of coffee, he instead found a half asleep dewdrop making eggs. he had frozen, not expecting anyone else to be up that early, and went about making his coffee as quietly as he could. dew didn't say anything to him, simply shifted his slouching form further down the counter- to get away from him, rain supposed.

mountain, aether and cumulus had slowly filed into the kitchen while rain was adding the milk to his coffee, dew plating his eggs. rain had taken their respective mugs out of the cabinet and set them ready for the next pot of coffee, his hands hovering over dew's mug. he chanced a quick glance towards the fire ghoul, relieved that dew's eyes were focused on his fork shifting the eggs around his plate.

aether had taken the seat next to dew, mountain sitting directly across from him and cumulus to his right, talking mountain's ear off about a show rain's never heard of. he catches aether's eye and jerks his head subtly in dew's direction, motioning to the mug with his hand. aether only shrugs- standing a few seconds later and making his way to the counter, rationing out everyone's preferred strength of coffee. rain stares at him for a moment, having intended to do this himself, before reaching past rain and grabbing dew's mug, setting it down. "coffee, dew?"

the room goes quiet for a few seconds, further still even after dew simply hums in affirmation. aether rations dew's coffee- three coffee, two sugar- then he pats rain on the shoulder, moving around the kitchen to grab a few slices of bread, popping them in the toaster before sitting back in his seat, back next to dew.

rain takes the hint and picks up where aether left off, pouring water and milk into the four mugs while sipping on his own coffee. it's then that swiss pads into the kitchen, yawning and stretching his arms above his head as he makes his way to the counter, grabbing his own mug from the cupboard.

"fill me up, yeah?" rain does, able to just squeak by with enough hot water to fill his mug. he kisses rain on the cheek as he leans over to grab a plate from the cupboard next to the mugs, setting it on the counter just as the toaster pops. swiss lights up with delight, moving down the counter to try and grab his toast with minimal burns to his fingertips "oh, aether, you doll!"

rain smiles to himself, listening to swiss sit down next to aether and pepper his face with dry kisses and 'thank you's as he grabs the mugs two at a time and sets them down in front of aether, mountain, cumulus and dew. mountain, aether and cumulus thank him as he sits down next to 'lus, having finished his coffee. he doesn't expect dewdrop to thank him, but a small part of himself wants him to. wants dew to look up from his plate, look rain in the eye with his newly violet stare and say those two words, any words, to him. wants dewdrop to smile and call him doll.

cumulus offers to make him breakfast, and though he's fast to agree, he doesn't take his eyes off of dew as he sips from his mug.

which brings him here, stealing glances at dew while their breakfasts go cold and the others- now joined by cirrus and stratus- talk about anything and everything around him. he hears them, but he doesn't listen, preoccupied with looking at dew and then longing to look at him when he has to avert his gaze. dew looks ethereal, ivory hair pulled into a sleep mussed, delicate braid running off of his small shoulder, pale strands falling into his face to grace his cheekbones, violet irises and milky eyelashes catching in the sun slipping through the window. like light seeping through stained glass. he looks beautiful.

rain wants to tell him as much, longs to. he doesn't, however. he and dew haven't spoken a word to each other since he's been summoned, rain usually pretends to not know why, pretends to be shy, pretends to be polite, but he knows better. knows the screaming down the hall the night he was summoned was not the wails of a sibling of sin, knows the snow touched strands of dew's hair and lashes were not those that he was summoned with, knows the reason for dew's clear irises and skittish, blurry gaze is not that of birth, but of trauma. trauma that if he were not summoned, wouldn't have happened.

aether tells him often not to blame himself, that his summoning was botched, that imperator was all too quick to try a ritual he'd never heard of- one with a concerningly low survival rate, he'd discovered later, and that dew was the perfect candidate. rain wants to believe him, believe it's not his fault, but it's difficult when he witnesses dew limp and shuffle from room to room, sees him wince when he stands, sees him squeeze his eyes shut when they're giving him a headache with how much they move around against his will. watches him avoid mirrors.

he wants to believe aether when he tells rain not to feel guilty, but it's hard to believe when rain feels as though he's robbed dew of everything he was.

aether says something, some joke or quick witted reply to something stratus has said, and rain watches in awe as dewdrop laughs. it's an awkward, involuntary thing, and rain can't be mad at himself for missing the joke when he gets to see the way dew's shoulders relax a little as he smiles at aether. it's dew's real smile, not the practised, close mouthed smile that rain usually sees dew give to cumulus or swiss. no, it's a downturned, almost sad looking thing that makes rain feel sinful for simply having witnessed it even though he's distantly envious he wasn't the cause. he wants to capture this moment, lock it in a bottle and stare at it when he feels down, keep it close to his heart.

he thinks dew's smile is pretty, and he wants to tell him.

he is, unfortunately, a coward.

"aether." rain presses into aether's mind so suddenly aether nearly chokes on his food, coughing slightly. aether looks at him from over the table, raising an eyebrow at him. "this can't be said out loud?"

"no, i need you to tell dew something."

aether's eyes widen slightly, but he pressed on, "and what's that?"

rain swallows thickly, flicking his gaze from dew to aether a couple of times before settling on, "could you tell him he looks pretty when he smiles? his- his real smile."

aether grins at him as subtly as he can manage, waiting for a conversation to pick up with the rest of the ghouls at the table before leaning in close to dew to whisper something to him. rain really hopes that aether doesn't tell dew that rain is the one who wanted him to know that his smile is pretty, but it makes dew sway as he bumps shoulders with aether and smiles again, his real smile, and rain doesn't look away when dew looks up at him again, this time making eye contact with him before he feels a gentle push into his brain, like waves lapping at his ankles, he walks further into the water when he hears it,

"thank you."

[obscure-imaginations]

Some random clergy headcanons. This is most likely going to be a series, I have so much lore and worldbuilding for this band...

SFW, cut for space.

-The main ministry buildings are hidden in the mountains of Sweden. There is a single road heading down the mountain (about an hour by foot) to a Swedish village, where the locals are allied with the ministry. The locals also worship and work with the Infernals, but have chosen to remain in the village-like environment. From there, it's a two hour walk to a big city, that has no idea the village nor the clergy exist. This is for safety reasons. The ministry itself is giant, with many buildings, a farm, a ranch, an orchard, and anything else needed to be self-sustaining. Most of the ministry's power is from solar panels on the rooves, but there are many options in case of emergency.

-The primary languages spoken in the ministry are English and Swedish. Most Siblings of Sin communicate in English, Swedish is mainly used to interact with locals. However, there are an abundance on languages spoken- all the way from ancient Latin, to Afrikaans, to Navajo, to Spanish. There are also many types of sign language. If you ask around, you can certainly find enough Siblings to speak every language on the planet!

-Families have their own separate building, where there are family quarters, classrooms, its own library, and separate cycles of laundry and food. This is for safety reasons, as the main building is easy for a child to get lost in. And no one wants a kid walking in on a ritual that isn't... child-friendly. The only exceptions are ghouls (they have their own building) and children of the bloodline. For families with multiple children, if one reaches of-age, they can choose to either move into the main ministry, or wait until their sibling(s) are of age so the entire family can move. Classes for children are held in this building as well.

-When a sibling reaches age, they must choose a job to do along with their studies. They can choose a job that associates with their 'major' (whatever they study, alongside the required religious courses), or just something that needs doing, like janitorial work or farming/ranching. Ghouls aren't the only ones working hard!

-Speaking of ghouls, most ghouls have duties along the lines of Sibling work, but they also have more in-depth magical jobs. Maintaining protection magic, assisting in rituals, getting rid of negative energy, you name it. Siblings can assist, but a ghoul is required to get a full coverage.

-Not all of the ministry is human. There are a scattering of supernatural beings as well- namely werewolves. Strictly in management terms, werewolves are easiest for the upper ministry to handle. There is magic to suppress changes, if the Sibling chooses, or a place where they can transform safely. Vampires are also easy to maintain, but can be tricky. If there's a vampire with telepathy or charisma magic, it could be very easy for them to take over the clergy. Ritual 'sacrifices' are always available if someone goes rogue.

-That being said, any and every supernatural being is welcomed with open arms in the clergy. There are requirements depending on the species (such as fae being required to drop fae law), but they all have a place, as long as they can devote themselves to the Infernals and the work of the clergy.

- From the time they reach age, Papal heirs go through the regular ranks as a part of their training, from deacon to cardinal. However, unlike the other members of the ministry, only those in line for Papacy may take the title of Arch Cardinal. It’s the final step before Papacy. The highest a non-Papa member can reach is cardinal.

-Despite popular belief, pets are common in the abbey. However, they are not permitted to roam, which is why visitors think that they are banned. They are all well taken care of. There is even a ward dedicated to veterinary medicine and magic!

-Siblings have a required uniform, but there are many options for everyone to comfortable. The uniforms are solid colors of black, red, or white. Siblings are allowed to accessorize, within reason. Anything can be worn off duty. Siblings are not required to veil, but many choose to for aesthetic reasons.

-The library is extensive and has many keepers, always flitting between the shelves, tending the books and any disruptive Siblings. No one (except maybe the Papal line) is quite sure what the Keepers actually are, as no one can agree on what they look like, but they guard the knowledge dearly. No one has to worry about late fees or anything, because the book is mysterious gone from the belongings of the borrowing Sibling after the day that it's due.

-As much as the clergy hates to do it, some knowledge is restricted and kept only for the Papas. This is purely for safety reasons- the magic that is contained is dangerous.

-As you might know, the Papas are not entirely human. Their bloodline is demonic, and has a lot of supernatural genes as well, from various Prime Movers over time.

-The masks that the ghouls wear have several purposes. The masks bind the ghoul to the clergy, so no outside source can use them against the ministry. It also keeps them contained within a humanoid form- less intimidating and less destructive. On tour, the band ghouls have the most restrictive masks to keep them looking entirely human. In the clergy, however, they are allowed a bit more freedom. Claws, horns, tails, and fur are common sights among the ghouls.

It took me a while to get the motivation as to write a story, my apologies, but i was going through Tumblr and found that the Ghoulettes are not shown as much affection as the Ghouls, i found stories of the Ghouls being the Readers mates but what about the Ghoulettes? Now i will give you all a story with the Ghoulettes being the Readers Mates! Also my writing isn‘t the best, just pointing that out there. Please excuse my spelling errors in the story-

Story Type: Fluff!

You are our Air and Light

Warning: Body Insecurities, Swearing, Anxiety, ADD (ADD is the Day dreaming sub type of ADHD, just putting that there for those who don‘t know!)

More Information: Sunshine is a Multi ghoul in this AU, Reader is a They/them and a Human, Fluff Story, Comfort and love, Kisses and cuddles! (INCLUDING CUDDLES FROM DEWDROP!!)

Summary: You were struggling with getting sleep the night before as you had a bad feeling in your stomach, shaking off this feeling in the morning you went on your task like usually, though, you knew you should‘ve stayed in bed, you stumbled across your “Best Friend“ who was talking to another sister of Sin, it wasn‘t in a good way as you thought…

Ghoulettes x Gender Neutral Reader! ( Slight Dewdrop x GN Reader Too!!)

_________________________________________________________________________________________

You always struggled with bad stomach feelings at night or early mornings, it wasn‘t anything new, you were used to it, in a way, this feeling was more negative than you imagined it, something telling you to stay in bed and not doing your tasks, but you had to push this feeling aside due to this day being another Ritual and you had the permission from Sister Imperator to help the Ghouls backstage. Looking at the clock you saw the time was 6:45 am, a smile crept on your face before kicking the blanket off of you, getting ready just in time as a soft knock Echoed through your room.

Putting on your Mary Janes you went over to the door of your room, opening it carefully, standing before the door was Mist, a Ghoulette you‘ve gotten to know in the past few months. “Good morning Sibling Y/n, care to join me for breakfast in the Gardens?“ asked you the Water Ghoulette, a chuckle escaped your throat, it had become a daily routine that the Ghoulette and you enjoy breakfast together in the gardens of Primo, even on days you knew you had a hard time getting up, she always made sure to have breakfast with you! “Of course i do Mist, i could never say no to such a request!“ you exclaimed in joy, tuning off the light in your room, softly closing the door before hooking your arm with hers and making your way to the Garden.

Breakfast went by quickly as always, Mist and you always enjoyed the first moments of the sunrise, it was a soft sight of the sun saying ‘Good Morning!‘ to the world, which was also your time to go once you and Mist had finished breakfast, your Tasks were easy and fast to finish! Or, thats what you thought before an incident you will encounter today…

_________________________________________________________________________________________

You felt your ADD was worse than normally and your Anxiety level was Higher than you hoped for, You were constantly in and out of your Day dreaming, and the paranoia was making you see things you knew weren‘t there, it was horrible, you wanted to vanish down to the pits of Hell, never to be seen again, so bad was your day already, not only were you late on your reports for Primo, you also forgot to help Copia with his Work, then you were late to Lunch and Afternoon Prayer… And you wished you never entered the Library but you had a task there to complete, praying it‘ll be over soon, you were so unlucky today…

You finished your first tasks fairly quickly, now in the Library you had the duty of brining Late handed in Books or returned books back into their place, a task you love to do as it is easy and fast to do, you always had good eyes and a good memory as to were everything was, you were about to turn the corner when you heard the voice of your Best friend, Sister Lilien and another voice, Sister Amelia, it was the sentences that shook you to your core…

“So, Y/n still thinks you are their friend?“ spoke Amelia,“Yeah, such a silly little thing they are, thought we are friends when in reality, we just needed information on their weaknesses.“ Said Lilien, a laughter erupted from Amelias Throat,“Great, if we keep this act up, we can maybe even get the to leave the Church, say again, what were their weaknesses?“ you took a sharp breath before you heard Lilien talk again:“Oh, they are very insecure about their Body, always looking in the mirror for flaws to correct them, it is also funny to watch how easily scared they get!“ the two sister started laughing, but were startled when you had dropped the books you held.

You felt so betrayed, you wanted to vanish from the earthly grounds at this moment, holding back your tears, you started picking up the books you had dropped earlier, a deep breath and you turned the corner, pushing past Sister Lilien and Sister Amelia, avoiding their eyes and avoiding their presence, but you couldn‘t ignore their words, they were calling you all sorts of things, Fat, Ignorant, Selfish, Scaredy-cat, not enough, all those things your Ghoulettes told you were false, all those things Your Ghoulettes wanted you to never acknowledge, yet you did, it was eating you from the inside…

You finished your last tasks in silence and just made your way to a spot only you and a fellow ghoul knew, this fellow ghoul being Rain, he showed you this spot if ever you felt overwhelmed by anything…

_________________________________________________________________________________________

You didn‘t acknowledge how long you spend outside in this spot, you didn‘t care at this point either, but back at the Abbey grounds, it was a different story.

Sunshine was scanning all the abandoned halls, wings, rooms and even went to the restricted parts of the Abbey grounds, Cirrus was asking fellow Siblings of Sins when they had last seen you while Cumulus went over your tasks, you finished your tasks, all of them, 4 hours ago, you were gone for 4 hours and it worried the Ghoulettes, “Any sign of them yet?!“ asked Sunshine with a worried tone, Cumulus and Cirrus shook their heads,“No, nothing, as if they vanished!“

Rain didn‘t wanna get involved in this but he knew there was only one place you could be if not in any part of the abbey grounds. A sigh escaping his throat, he finally walked out of the shadows and went to his fellow Bandmates,“I may have an idea where they could be.“ He spoke, gaining the attention of the Ghoulettes, “But, you cannot follow me, it is a spot i showed them if ever they get overwhelmed…“ a groan escaped the ghoulettes throats but nodded in agreement.

With that, Rain made his way to the spot, he also noticed it started raining, taking an umbrella and a large towel he snatched from Cirrus with him, it didn‘t take him long before finding the spot, having his gaze upon your shivering figure, he could smell the doubt and sadness coming from you, he made his way towards you, the sudden stopping of the rain made you flinch in surprise, looking upwards to then have your gaze upon Rain and the Umbrella, the Water ghoul wrapping you in the towel he stole form cirrus, “if you get sick you will worry your Ghoulettes even more, lets get you back, they have turn the whole abbey upside down to find you.“

With those words you realized it was near sunset, then you stood up from your position and walked beside Rain through the, now, on going storm, back to the abbey grounds and to the main building, The Ghoulettes waiting outside, seeing you made them sigh in relief, Cirrus the first to approach you, thanking rain with a silent nod of appreciation and then dragging you inside to the Ghoul Dens for a nice bath and hot chocolate, you were feeling safe, in the arms of your Ghoulettes, you were one lucky Human to have such caring lovers!

“Oh sweet Lucifer, you are soaked from head to toe! Lets get you a nice bath running and a hot Chocolate!“ Spoke Cumulus, passing by the common room you swore you saw Dewdrop staring at you and the other ghoulettes, waiting for something you guessed,“Dew we can feel your stares, just heat up the fire place in Sunshines Room-“ snapped Cirrus at the fire ghoul who gladly took that offer, you were suddenly shoved into the bathroom with Cumulus to have a nice hot bath

Cumulus filled the bathtub with nice warm water, checking the temperature to make sure you won‘t burn yourself, in the meantime you took off your soaked clothes, dropping them to the floor and let the cool air hit your body, making you shiver, cumulus lend you a guiding hand helped you into the bathtub, not leaving your side, gladly washing your body and hair, making you feel relaxed and comfortable, the gentle touch send shivers down your spine, yeah, but you really needed this touch at the moment

After this nice bath, you were given fresh clothes which Cirrus gave you, you were taller than most Siblings, which made you most of the time quiet insecure, but Cirrus reassured you over and over again that you are perfect, you were their perfect human, Cirrus didn‘t wait and carried you to sunshines room, dew was gonna leave but, even though you knew the ghoulettes wouldn‘t like it, you wanted him to cuddle with you and the Ghoulettes,“Deewyy!“ you whined, the fire ghoul turned on his heel to look at you

In your eyes he could see that you wanted him to stay, you never admit it to your ghoulettes but when the Ghoulettes are busy with something and you need comfort, you can seek comfort in Dew, he didn‘t tell anyone about it, not even the other ghouls or Ghoulettes. “Stay! Please?“ You could hear the annoying sigh from cirrus as she let you go down on your feet, entering Sunshines room, waiting with the other ghoulettes (Ofc she told them you wanted dew to stay-)

“Please Stay Dew, I want you to cuddle with us!“ You exclaimed at the fire ghoul, he chuckled in response, stepping forward and patting you, it was the only respond you needed before dragging him with you to the ghoulettes, he let go of you to shut the door, in that moment you crawled onto Sunshines bed were the ghoulettes were waiting, you were pulled into the cuddle pile by Sunshine who pressed you against her chest, dew joining the pile in silence, your back was facing the Fire ghoul as he pressed his chest against your back and purred into your neck

The ghoulettes were a bit surprised at dews reaction but let it slide, the warmth dew gave was nice, you knew you were one lucky human, but never admitted it to your soul, “Little Tornado, why were you outside..?“ Said Cumulus in a tired voice as she stroke your hair softly, you could feel tears again but you knew that no one in this room would ever judge you, not even dew, with a deep breath you let out all you had experienced today

“Well, the day started like normal…i had breakfast, then went onto doing my chores with a little help of Mountain and Swiss, heh, but when i waved them off as i was on the library task, well, i heard my so called best friend, talking to Sister Amelia, they were talking about, my weaknesses and other stuff… i just, finished my task and then ran to the spot Rain showed me…then it is all just a blur until Rain went to get me and, yeah…“ You sobbed quietly, but that didn‘t last long

The first voice to be heard was from Sunshine,“I knew something was off about her! But that is not a good theme for now, now you need all the love and reassurance in the world!“ she snuggled closer to you, your heart beat was the thing she loved the most, it was calming,“Sunny is right, i may not be your mate but, i am also here to give you the reassurance you need, I’ll keep you warm while the girls are busy.“ Spoke Dewdrop, a small smile formed on your face, cumulus was already fast asleep

Cirrus kept stroking your hair, placing a kiss on your forehead,“Never doubt yourself little firefly..You are safe, we will break whoever hurt you, we will get the other ghouls if needed, we will always protect you our Little Tornado, you are one of a kind, we could never live without you..“

Slowly you met the gates of slumber, you were halfway asleep when you heard Cirrus say:“You are our air…“ but dew changed it, making it more accurate:“You are our Air and Light…“ Cirrus sighed in agreement to dew… that was the only thing you heard before embracing the warmth and welcoming the land of dreams…and you spoke:“Yeah…your air and light..“

The ghouls as quotes from me and my friends pt.7

Aurora: What do you want, you chicken fucker

Aether: fuck me twice and call me a slut.

Cumulus: When can I start burning things, I am cold.

Cirrus: I don't have time for drama, I need to fight the enderdragon.

Dew: I don't have a 'fuck it' attitude to ask people if they fucked in a public bathroom

Mountain: Well done on being born, do you want a sticker now?

Phantom: I don't care, tits are tits. Whether they are pecs or boobs, I just want to look at them and hold them.

Rain: I may be sadistic but at least not corrupt

Swiss: Sorry I was too distracted by his tits

Sunshine: With enough willpower anyone can draw 5 dicks at the same time.
