Flora: Excuse me, did you happen to see a very nice elf here?

Palladium *turns to her*: Very "funny", Flora.

Valtor is Busy and so Palladium

Warnings: mild ANGST to FLUFF

Valtor had to deal with a few things so he dropped you off at Alfea. You wouldn't have gone but you got to see Palladium. You missed your other boyfriend. But he was busy most of the time with teaching. Valtor kissed your head gently.

"If you're good then you will be reward darling," Valtor said. "See you soon. In a few days." Valtor smiled. He left you with your bag at the front of the school. You grabbed your bag and started to run in and went around the halls looking for Palladium. When you found him you hear him in his classroom speaking. You pouted to yourself as you didn't enter the room. He was busy like always.

You just dragged your bag to a corner and just sat down. You were excited but didn't like when he couldn't spend time with you. You ended up going to Faragondas office and hanging out there. You were reading one of her books in the chair. It was nighttime and Palladium still hadn't come to take you to bed to cuddle. Faragonda stayed with you. You soon gave up and just went to the lawn of the school and sat on the stairs.

You started to cry. You just wanted to spend time with him. He knew you were coming... right? You looked up hearing some footsteps. It was the Winx girls. Faragonda must have sent them to check up on you. Stella frowned at how you were crying.

"Don't tell me you are crying over a boy," Stella said shaking her head. You nodded and sniffled. Stella frowned and sat beside you. "What happened?" You sighed.

"I don't think Palladium knows I am here... I was excited to see him but I haven't seen him at all." You mumbled. Bloom rubbed your back. You sniffled.

"How about we head out to Magix?" Flora suggested. "Let's cheer you up." She said and held out her hand. You nodded and took her hand standing up. They took you to have fun in the city. It was really fun and distracted you. You all arrived back on campus to see Faragonda and Palladium waiting. He looked worried. You shrank back knowing you would be in trouble. You left without saying anything. palladium expression soften noticing that.

"Hey, I am not mad sweetheart," Palladium said. "Let's head up to my room and talk." You nodded and followed him.

"I'm sorry," you mumbled as you got into the room and sat your bag down. Palladium shook his head.

"It's my fault...I forgot. Faragonda told me after she found me still doing some paperwork." He rubbed your back.

"But I went out of campus grounds."

"The Winx were there to help you feel better, they care about their friends." He said softly.

"I guess I forgive you but I request some cuddles and a movie night." You smiled. He chuckled.

"Of course, princess anything for you."

Everything you listed XD exept Flora x Tecna, i never thought of it :0

Ok but why is the queer winx fandom nearly nonexistent? Like I can’t be the only one seeing potential shipings everywhere in the series

A Wicked Spell

Palladium x Reader

I was rather shocked to see two students fly into my infirmary, not walk. Fly. If students were using their Winx on campus, that meant only one thing. Someone was hurt, badly.

Staying calm, I quickly gather my portable medic kit. Holding up a hand to quiet their nervous rambling.

"We don't have time for explanations, just take me to them." I said, urgently.

If someone is seriously hurt I don't have the time to translate flustered teenager babble. They mean well of course, but first year students don't do very well under pressure.

I followed the girls to the courtyard where my blood ran cold upon seeing who the poor soul was. 

Professor Athos Palladium. He looked pale, and was moaning quietly. With a worried Faragonda kneeling beside him. 

I rushed over to his side, using one of my physical diagnosis spells. Nothing, no poison, or any lesions of the body, no deep brushing either. That wasn't good, that meant there was a problem with his magic. Which for an elf, whose magic runs through their own veins just as their blood could be deadly. "This isn't good," I mutter.  

Faragonda and I looked to the two students who were still hovering nearby. 

"Alright girls, help Ms. (L/n) get Professor Palladium to the infirmary! Time is of the essence!" Faragonda commanded.

The girls and I quickly picked Palladium up and carried him to the infirmary. The girls helped me get him on to one of the sterile white beds. A loud groan escapes him as I settle him in. Dismissing the girls back to their classes. Using my strongest magic diagnosis spell I discovered there was a large corruption on his left shoulder. While it hasn't gone too deep yet, if it goes beneath the skin and gets into his bloodstream it could reach his heart and could do one of two things. It would destroy him from the inside out, or he would be transformed into something monstrous.

Acting quickly I take off his shirt, pausing for only a second to whisper an apology that he certainly wouldn't hear. 

There was a blackish-purple, spidery, mark on his left shoulder. It was spreading visibly down his torso and up his neck. This just went from bad to worse, I'm going to need a cleansing ritual, a strong one. I won't be able to do it myself.

"Oh Palladium, what did they do to you?" I whispered, stroking his cheek wistfully. 

After a call to Faragonda, who gathered a few of the other professors and Flora. Even though she was a student she was always a fantastic healer, and her natural affinity for nature based magic would help in this specific case. The ritual was long, and hard. The corruption fought tooth and nail, but we were finally able to confine it and eliminate it from his system.

Unfortunately, due to how far the corruption got in the first place Palladium was too weak to be moved. He would have to rest in the infirmary until his magic regenerates. The professors retired to their beds, naturally the process of cleansing dark magic is exhausting, I was tired myself.

"Is there anything else I can do Ms. (L/n)?" Flora asked, in her sweet gentle way. 

"Oh no Flora, you've done more than enough! Go get some rest, I can handle everything from here sweetie." I said.

Flora floated back to her dorm, I simply smiled and shook my head.

“I swear that girl is from a whole other plane of existence…” I laughed quietly to myself.

I looked down at Palladium, he hadn’t really moved since we finished the cleansing. But the mark on his shoulder was gone, only a faint paleness was still there. He would be in a magically induced healing coma for the next three days, and probably have to remain in the infirmary for at least one week.

My face grew warm at the thought of spending that much time alone with the handsome professor. Shaking that thought out of my head quickly I moved to set up the required monitors. Settling in for a long night of caretaking.

It was only two in the morning when I was woken up by Palladium groaning. I scrambled to check the monitors, but everything was stable. Palladium seemed just as still as before. Until he shifted letting out another groan and what sounded like a whisper, but it wasn't intelligible. So I leaned closer, trying to make out if he was having a nightmare or not. Palladium spoke again after a moment with a furrowed brow.

"Ugh- (Y/n) I- no, no…" He murmured to himself.

So it was a nightmare… And it had something to do with me. I leaned back again, and without thinking much about it. I started to stroke his cheek, tenderly. His brow softened and his frown settled into a gentle smile. A smile I had grown to adore from afar. Then he spoke again this time a little louder and more distinct.

"I think I love you (Y/n)…" 

I halted in my movements, my very thoughts stuttered.

"What?" I ended up whispering to myself. So in a state of shock I was completely numb to Palladium turning to his other side with a contented sigh.

I shook it off sure I was only dreaming, or at least that his whispered confession meant nothing. So I resumed my night watch.

It had been  a week since then. Palladium is wide awake and is finally able to feed himself without aid. He also has grown more talkative, making small talk with me during check ups and food deliveries. Though one morning during his breakfast he asked me something I hoped he wouldn't.

"(Y/n)?" He said. 

I turned to him from the monitor I was checking over.

"Yes, Athos?" I replied. We had long since been on a first name basis. He had requested my first name and to use his fairly recently after he woke up.

"Did I say anything while I was asleep?" He asked, fingering the bed sheet nervously.

I froze for a moment thinking back to that first night…

"A-ah, umm… well. You said that- you said you loved me at one point." I said trying to sound casual, and failing miserably.

Athos went red, stuttering out a simple "o-oh, well… Oh d-dear." 

I scrambled to retrieve the ease that had fled the room.

"Well I'm sure it didn't mean anything. You were deep in a medical coma and fresh off of a dark magic infection! I wasn't bothered by it." I said, lying through my teeth.

Athos didn't brush it off and resume our jovial atmosphere like I thought he would. Instead he looked me directly in the eye. While still a little flushed, he looked more serious than I had seen him in quite some time. 

"But what if it was- it is true?" He said

"What?" I asked, my voice barely audible.

"I do love you (Y/n), I'm not quite sure when it happened. But I have been in love with you for quite some time…" He said, looking me directly in the eye.

His sudden confidence seemed to waiver then, and he turned down the bed. Staring intently at the light blue sheets, though if his ears were anything to go by he was hiding a furious blush. One which I’m sure I was mirroring to some extent, judging by the heat of my own cheeks. Then I decided to do something, something I wasn’t very sure of.

I sat down on the chair by his bed, gently taking his burning face in my hands. Turning him towards me I leaned forward and kissed him. 

I felt him stiffen with a bit of shock and a mix of nervousness, then I got a soft but stalwart response.

It was wonderful, honestly I think it was the best kiss of my entire life. His lips were soft, and gentle, sparking a rush of adoration down my spine. I could feel myself smile into the kiss, his hand moved to my cheek. The tender brush sending fireworks across my skin, both taste and smell wrapped around me. Orange with a hint of mint, when we broke apart it was like he had taken a piece with him. So I chased him to get it back, but to my surprise he got to me first. It was fireworks, and gentle caresses all over again. Then we broke away for the final time, panting a bit to get our lungs filled again. I couldn’t help but laugh, I was so incandescently happy.

“So if you didn’t catch my meaning, I love you too Athos..” I giggled with a sigh.

He let out a mirthful chuckle of his own. Then his eyes with a deep affection, and softness touched his forehead to mine and said.

“I’m sure now, more than ever…”

I'M BACK YAY!

I honestly didn't know what to post these days, but I guess it's time to judge /hj

I have realized that for characters as healthy and good as Palladium, the fandom always decides to make them look a little... 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂. All of us in the fandom have noticed the infinity of ships that exist, and in that infinity, there are the controversial ships, and it's something that usually bothers me a lot because this fandom seems to normalize ships too much among adults and students 😕

There is a specific ship which is TOO normalized by the fandom

which is Flora x Palladium, I never cared about ships, you have the freedom to like what you want, but the simple fact that you normalize a relationship between an adult and a teenager says a lot about you.

I guess it's an opinion that not only I share, but also even if they make those "AU'S" where Flora is an adult, it's still something weird, because after all canonically Flora is a girl who is not even 18 years old in the first and second season, seasons which people started shipping these two characters 🤷‍♂️ and it's not just with flora, it's with all the girls and all the adults, sometimes I find myself enjoying posts on tumblr and BOOM! Jumpscare "Palladium yandere x student(y/n) masochist" and I'm like 😨 IT'S WILD

Unfortunately, because of this type of content, people can think very badly of the two characters, if it weren't for the fact that I am a fan of Palladium who has 300 photos of him in his gallery, my friend would have believed that he is a weirdo (p3dophile💀) due to the edited scenes that he found on internet, I had to explain to him that it's fandom content and show him the original scenes 😭

I really don't know how to end this post, I woke up feeling bad and wanting to judge people/j so that's where this post came from 💥

Here are my Winx Club Ships that I will NEVER let go:

Thoren X Bloom

Beta-Read for a Season 6 Rewrite Winx Club Fanfic, honestly I kinda dislike it it but because of it I ship Thoren and Bloom now that I may do Fanart of it some day.

(& currently writing my own rewrite)

Mirta X Flora

No I don't care if Helia exists, they GL their way into existence.

Musa x Riven

Through Understanding and setting boundaries, they learn to co-operate and Love each other.Thats what a relationship is, Mutual Trust and Respect.

Nabu X Aisha

Preferably I like Aisha to be single because I feel like she is still trying to move on from Nabu, they really loved each other, THEY WERE ABOUT TO GET MARRIED FOR GOODNESS SAKE.What Rainbow did to Aisha afterwards was Despicable, she Proceeded to subtly cheat on Roy with Nex?

Roy left literally, we NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, they made Aisha decided to be like "Oh Imma chose the Hothead over the guy actually Respects me"That's why Aisha should be either Single in Fanfics or with Nabu.

Stella x Brandon

Yes.Just Yes

Roxy has no ship, she is Aroace in my heart

Bonus:

Daphne? Well...I think she should've Died...that fanfic that I beta-read introduced Daphne's Death and I thought, "oh yeah that's gonna cause damage to Bloom's Psyche, probably some PTSD?"but nope the author never brought it up...she don't get a ship

(& she will stay dead in my Rewrite)

Also you can't shout at me for shipping Hagen x Faragonda and Palladium x Avalon

[rewritix]

repost pt 3

reposted from deleted blog under same name.

Combining the two posts talking about ships and the new timeline. Mostly just wanted start by staying I love rarepairs and wanted to change the order of villains and fairy forms.

brandon x thoren, bloom x diaspro, stella x aisha, nabu x riven, sky x chimera, daphne x nereus, icy x triatannus, taea (mirta/tara) x techna, nex x roxy

any suggestions for flora, timmy, helia or roy, feel free to drop them!

Backstory: The ancestral witches messed with the entire magical balance by attacking the Dragon, several planets are on the verge of destruction and the rest of the planets are putting all current resources into maintaining them. Daphne sent Bloom through the magix dimension instead of the solar system which resulted in time distortion. Winx Club is an abandoned club between all eight schools for camaraderie, the meeting room is the only room magically connected to all other schools.

Season 1:

Bloom is discovered by Stella same as canon but when brought to Alfea, and explained Faragonda is nervous whether Bloom is tied to Terra or another off-balance planet. Explains that because of the missing past and link that it’s best they keep Bloom’s origin a secret. 

The party is hijacked and Bloom’s secret comes out so the group joins the Winx Club to help tie their relationship tighter: Bloom, Stella, Flora, Techna, Musa, Aisha, Sky, Brandon, Timmy, Helia, Riven, Thoren, Nex, Roy, Mirta, Diaspro, (Chimera, Roxy, Daphne, Nabu later seasons). 

Instead of each new aspect + pet coming each seasons we have them mentioned here but not relevant until later in their respective seasons. 

Explain all the fairy forms and how one version is more useful depending either on the fairy aspect or the planet that is their guardian planet. (ex: Sirenix is good for water based fairies or water based planets).

Introduce all of the new schools + planets (maybe not this season but one per season or a cameo in season one and expanded in later seasons). 

Explain what a nymph is and the difference between a normal fairy. 

Introduce multiple magic creatures (creation myth for the planets etc etc) alongside the great dragon. 

Main plot of Trix trying to find and capture the Dragon Flame, discover that Bloom has it, army of darkness, etc. 

The crushes that start is Bloom x Diaspro, Mirta x Techna. 

Season 2: 

Fairy animals are now the main plot, similar of evil boss wanting to use the magic to unlock specific types of powers, miniworlds are cut out, everyone gets a fairy animal (name undetermined), and charmix is discussed at earlier point in season. 

Trix have been sent to Lightrock but attempt to escape constantly before faking the therapy working, but it did affect Stormy, who now attempts to prove to herself that she is evil to a harder degree. 

Different type of wildlands with strange issues, upside down mountains, no magic, too much magic, etc, every arc is at a different wildland focusing on one or two fairy animals. 

The wildlands end up with Stella and Aisha developing crushes and then at the after party for defeating BBEG, they confess to each other.  

Season 3:

Darkar attacks the pixies and tries to use an artifact to open the dimension and go into the solar system, since he was banished into the dimension. 

Mythix is the form focused, using stories and myths of pixies and the creation of the dimension to gain power. 

If Darkar opens the solar system, the dimension will shatter and die completely. 

Trix join him, and flees before the Winx can capture them. 

Romance Plot of Aisha being told of engagement and Stella and her come out about the relationship, at first the parents believe they’re lying to protect Aisha but they realize that they are in love, call off engagement. 

Nabu shows up to see why the engagement was called off, and joins the group at this point, him and Riven start a mutual crush. 

Palladium x Avalon. 

Season 4: 

Tritannus attacks the infinite ocean, power from the ties between infinite ocean and other planets. 

Trix joins him, but he does go insane via the magic and attacks the Trix several times, almost killing Stormy which pushes her into actually wanting to change herself and runs from the Trix to Lightrock. 

Romance of King Radius and Cassandra, Stella helps romance this time, and her and Chimera bond over the issues of the infinite ocean. 

Sky develops crush on Chimera.

Daphne is rescued and crush on Nereus. 

Season 5: 

The magic between the infinite ocean and terra’s connection (pillar? Tether? etc), restarts the magic of Terra, letting the frozen time bubble on the dark circle wizards pop, and start the hunt for the last Terra fairy, who they think is the infant princess of the limbo’d fairies in Tir Na Nog, who spent centuries healing their wings. 

Believix is the fairy form focused on Terra magic, still the wings of (maybe?): speedix (speed enhancement), Zoomix (teletransportation), Tracix (time traveling), Lovix: Gift of Heart, Sophix: Gift of Wisdom

Nex develops crush on Roxy. 

Nabu doesn’t die from the wizards but instead falls into a coma and Riven takes him to his home for healing.  

Season 6: 

Selina discovers her witch magic, becomes obsessive with cursed book, attends Cloudtower. 

Icy and Darcy reenter the school with fake identities and replaces Stormy with Selina to make a new Witches Trio. 

Takes over the school and almost kills Griffin which gets them sent to Omega Dimension. 

Fairy Form Focus is Enchantix, now about being a guardian fairy. At this point is the highest form. 

Riven returns a few episodes in, and mentions Nabu healing and recovering and prob several mentions and hints. 

Season 7: 

Valtor’s new backstory, Trix find him at Omega, wakes him up and he attempts to steal magic of planets, and stars in the solar system. 

Fairy Form Focus is Winx, basically redid Bloomix, dragon flame magic. New highest form.

So, now that I'm being really serious with rewinxing (hahahha, I wish)... Ships!!!!! But, for real.

Only 100% sure is AishaxFlora because that was a fantasy of mine as child. I swear for all Ethereals' madness and Arcadia's underappreciated sanity I legitimately believed they create Aisha for Flora but they did not know how to make it work and for so it that their profiles said one bestie is the other. That's was my conspirancy theory as a child.

Then. I'm semiserious about Bloom x Brandon or Bloom x Stella or literally Bloom x (not Sky, and I mean almost everybody else as I include Valtor, Riven, Stormy, Darcy, Icy, Diaspro, Nereus, Palladium, et all ♡). But Brandon x Stella it's SO perfect so sweet so supportive each other since second one... I do not like that because I'm a envious hag. And I don't like Flora x Helia because Helia did not try enough.

Secondary ships I'm not gonna change are Varanda x Roxy and Arcadia x Nubia but that's all about subtext.

Onesided Mirta x Flora was a thing.

I would like more 'crack ships'. I like my Diaspro she deserves all or nothing or whatever she wants. I see most chemistry between Sky and Riven than with Bloom...

The only way to improve Timmy x Tecna is to do an ot4 with Musa and Riven (say thank ems). But I only ship Musa and Riven in the heartrouching concert episode, the comics and the live action, so...

*keep thinking outloud...*

[vilena-lemann]

Hear me out. Every time I see someone shitting around about ILLEGAL SHIP OF FLORADIUM and other pedohysteria of Winx community, I wonder if these people know that characters of Winx club actually do age. It's not Simpsons, Winx get older (8th season was a crime against humanity), lose the minor status and theoretically can do whatever adults can do. Moreover, fandom is insanely American-centralized, starting from race-arguements to the persuading everyone that age of consent may be only 18, not 16 (even if in your country it's 16 lol, in some of the states it's even lower). So the consensus is till season 3 Floradium can be only pure and platonic: no kisses, no touching hands, no s-word.

Where in the World is the Real Professor Avalon?

Palladium x Reader

I had been keeping an eye on Avalon ever since he came to the school, especially due to his entrance. I mean really he could have just talked with Faragonda, or at least cleared the methods with her! While this had made Faragonda and the other professors wary in the beginning they had all warmed up to him rather quickly. Almost too quickly... 

But no matter how much I talked to him there was always something… off about him. Something I couldn’t quite place, and I didn’t like how close Bloom was getting to him. I understand why she wanted to talk to him, she was desperate to understand herself and her powers. Something Avalon had promised to provide answers too. I would be the same in her place, but that didn’t give me any comfort when Bloom would spend time alone with him. So I had been spying on them, I know it wasn’t really the most appealing method. But after Bloom was spelled the first time (recently coming out of Avalons office I might add) I had to make sure that wouldn’t happen again. So I had been keeping an eye on her using an enchantment all of my own creation. Any dark magic that made itself known around bloom would make my ring buzz. Naturally her tight knit group of friends have done their best to keep her safe. But that isn’t enough, plus they’re teenagers. Easily trusting, and easily distractible...

Then a gentle voice pulled me from my musings.

“What are you still doing here?” Asked Athos, leaning against my desk.

The last class had just let out, but I hadn’t gotten around to leaving my classroom just yet. At least I thought the last period had let out, until I glanced at the clock. Just how long had I been sitting here lost in thought?

“Sorry Athos, I guess I just lost track of time...” I said, looking into the amber eyes of Professor Palladium.

We had known each other since I started work here a year or two after my graduation from Alfea. He ran into me during one of the faculty gatherings, spilled tea all over my skirt. But I couldn't hold a grudge, or even be angry really. Especially since he had bought me a replacement only the day after. We became fast friends after that. He asked me out my second year at the school, (after his confidence boosting change in appearance) and we had been happily dating since. Which only Stella and Flora had figured out, Flora because she often stays back to talk with Athos about nature related topics. Stella found out because she is a drama and relationship bloodhound. Thankfully Faragonda (L/n)sn't seem to know of (or mind really) our relationship.

Athos smiled knowingly, "don't worry too much about it. Let's just head out, I want to show you something in the glade." 

That brought a grin to my face, the glade. Correction, our glade. Something Athos and I had found while looking for a plant for one of his classes. It's a beautiful place, a ring of ancient willows surrounding a sparkling blue lake. The grass is covered with clovers and bushy wild flowers. I still keep the four leaf clover he found for me when we found the glade. I spelled into a tiny glass pendant with a gold chain to hang around my neck.

"This isn't another 'surprise' is it?" I asked playfully.

Palladium flushed, "it was one time! I knew I shouldn't have asked that blasted pixie for help." He grumbled.

I let out a laugh, not able to witness Athos' face soften and a gentle blush return to his cheeks.

We are walking through the woods outside the school, nearly to the glade when Athos goes behind me and covers my eyes. Carefully guiding me into the glade.

"Oh, so it is a surprise~" I chortled.

"Oh hush," he said, with a chuckle.

Then with a flourish of his strong yet delicate hand, he revealed the most magical thing I had seen.

Little glowing orbs were dancing around the trees and above the flowers, clearly enchanted to glow and swaying softly to the tune being played by an unmanned harp at the waters' glittering edge. In the middle of it all was a picnic set up on a beautifully embroidered quilt. A dainty tea set with intricate china plates lay on a short wooden tray of sorts.

The gasp of awe was involuntary, Athos grabbed my hand and gently led my frozen feet to the blanket, then swiftly pulled me into him. I was ripped out of my stupor and fell with a shout.

After regaining my senses, looking a flushed Palladium in the eye. He was so adorably red, I couldn't help but laugh. He seemed as shocked by my fall as I did! Athos joined me with a chuckle of his own, then stilled.

Athos fixed me with those amber eyes, brimming with a yet unknown emotion. Those deep, warm, gentle, eyes. Just as I was about to lean in, my ring buzzed.

"Bloom!" I stood with a shout.

"What? What are you talking about?" Athos asked, confused, moving to stand.

"There's no time! Bloom's in danger!" I shouted before quickly teleporting to her location.

I looked around the room I had popped into, seeing Bloom in a yellow bubble. Avalon standing menacingly behind her, face and body glowing with red marks.

"Bloom look out!" I shouted and quickly shot a spell at Avalon. 

But it bounced off the bubble they were in, Avalon letting out a wicked bark of  laughter. Throwing a dark orb of magic at me and everything went black.

Palladium was frantic, what did you sense? How were you able to teleport so quickly to Bloom? How did you know that she was even in danger? These questions and many like it flooded his thoughts as he ran back to Alfea as fast his long legs could carry him.

Athos Palladium returned to an all too silent campus… What horrible thing had (Y/n) been trying to prevent? Was Bloom alright? He only just registered his surroundings before storming into Faragonda, so consumed by his own spiraling thoughts.

"You're looking for (Y/n) aren't you?" She said solemn but matter of fact.

How had she known? But before he could say anything Faragonda beckoned him to her office. Closing the door behind her and walking gracefully to her desk.

"I know about you and (Y/n)." Faragonda started.

Athos' eyes widened with shock, but he remained silent awaiting what Faragonda was going to say next.

"But I believe Professor (L/n) has been kidnapped along with Bloom. That both of them have been taken to Shadow Haunt, I'm not sure what Lord Darkar wants with (Y/n), but I am certain he has every intention to use Bloom's dragonfire to get to the Realix realm."

That answers some of Palladiums questions, replacing his mild panic with a deep sense of dread.

"What do we do now?" Athos' mind was too bogged down with worry to think.

"There isn't much we can do I'm afraid, but the Winx Club is putting together a rescue party with some of the red fountain boys. The same ones that helped when Stella and Bloom went to save the pixies." Said Faragonda almost conspiratorially.

“What? You’re letting them storm Shadow Haunt all by themselves!?” Athos said incredulous, he knew the girls were capable but facing Darkar all by themselves? 

“They certainly won’t be, the red fountain boys will be helping them. Apparently one of them has a connection with the underworlders there… But we are ready to step in if anything were to happen that our girls cannot handle.”

So that’s what they did, Palladium bid the students adieu. Then went to watch them on a scrying spell in Faragonda’s office, with the other headmasters on standby. Which honestly Athos was a little surprised at, he didn’t know that Faragonda had such a long history with them. They were talking with a familiarity only very old friends would have. 

The Winx Club was doing surprisingly well against the Shadow Haunt monsters, the girls even undoing the gloomix enchantment on them. But things got serious when a particularly large monster cornered Stella and Aisha (Layla). That’s when things really got into motion.

With the headmasters distracting Darkars lackey, Athos escorts the girls with the pixie elders. They gather the shards required to create a secondary portal to the Realix realm, but before the girls are able to make their way through, another fairy comes through the portal. A very familiar fairy.

It was (Y/n), but there was something off about her, there was a darkness in her aura. Even her clothes and hair seemed darker, and more jagged than her usual appearance. Then with a growl, she launched a plasma sphere at Aisha, who was only just able to dodge it.

“Professor (L/n)?! What happened to you?” Stella exclaimed in shock. Dodging yet another bolt of magic from the corrupted fairy.

“She must have been affected by Darkar’s magic! He most likely used a similar enchantment on bloom! Hurry girls, through the portal! I’ll hold her off…” Palladium shouted, his hands sparking to life with magic, throwing a sphere at (Y/n). Which she deflected, but the attack served its purpose, the girls were able to sneak through the portal and with (Y/n) preoccupied by Athos she didn’t even notice the portal closing. That was until it was too late…

“YOU SIMPLETON! You think those prissy fairies will be able to stop Lord Darkar and Bloom!? They’ll be destroyed!” (Y/n) screeched, then let out a wicked cackle.

Then Athos and (Y/n) went hand to hand for what felt like ages. Each landing a hit and then returning the favor, it got to the point where both of them were panting, and disheveled. Athos took a good long look at (Y/n). Her (h/c) hair was messy and almost entirely pulled from it’s usual style, giving her a deranged edge to her already twisted appearance. Her skin had a sheen of sweat, and there were several burn marks in her clothes, he was sure his appearance matched. But behind those glaring (e/c) eyes, a familiar spark was seen, one he missed so dearly in the moment. And before he could stop himself he said,

“What did Darkar do to the woman I love?” 

“What?” Said (Y/n) the venom only just receding from her voice. Which didn’t go unnoticed by Athos.

Ignoring (Y/n)’s question Athos asked another question with thinly veiled hope.

“Do you love me?”

“Do I what?!” She nearly shouted, the wickedness in her voice starting to fade.

He could do nothing but smile softly, seeing that familiar spark start to grow.

“Do you love me?” He asked again, a glint of knowing twinkling in his eye.

“You’re a fool!” (Y/n) seethed, but once again the anger seemed more fabricated than the last.

Athos let out a tired laugh, “I know, but do you love me?” Then he continued, “Because, though I haven’t said it before. I’m sure of it now, however strange that may seem. That without a doubt I love you. I love your kindness, and patience. I love just how confident you are, you get along with the students so well! But they all respect you, I can see it. They admire you, and how capable you are. I love you, all of you. Do. you. love. me?”

At those words (Y/n) was bathed in a bright light, making Athos close his eyes due to its intensity. Then as quickly as it came, the light faded and before he could even blink the black spots out of his eyes he felt a soft and warm body envelop him in a hug. Feeling warm and wet tears fall on his exposed shoulder,

“I’m so sorry,” (Y/n) sobbed into his shoulder “I saw- I felt what I was doing, but-but I couldn’t stop! I’m so, so sorry Athos…”

Athos returned the embrace full force, rubbing calming circles in (Y/n)’s back, “Don’t worry about that, I knew it wasn’t really you. I’m just glad I’ve got you back now.” He said soothingly.

“Did you mean what you said?” (Y/n) asked hesitantly.

Athos paused for a moment, a blush rushing to his pale face. He just now realizes that was the first time either of them had said those life changing three words. Just then his blasted nerves decided to get the best of him, his carefully cultivated confidence flying right out the window.

“E-eh, We-well of c-cor-course I did-d” He said, face getting even redder and cursing his blasted nerves.

Not that (Y/n) seemed to mind, letting out a cute chortle and kissing him on the cheek.

“You are wonderful Athos, I love you too.” She said.
