Ghoulette Appreciation Week 1

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Promptlist by @jesusbutbetterrr

Thank you @jesusbutbetterrr and @jimothybarnes for being my wonderful beta readers as usual <3

Week 1 promptlist: Start Of Something New / Girl's Night in / out

Read here or on Ao3

“Happy new year, my loves” Cirrus cooed as she pecked each and every ghoulette on the lips, starting first with, Mist, following with Cumulus, then Sunshine, finishing off with Aurora.

It was Aurora’s first new year with the pack, and although she was familiar with the concept, she found it difficult to understand the booms from the fireworks that take place just outside her door.

“Hey, honey, it’s just fireworks,” Cumulus tried to be reassuring, as she placed a gentle and caring arm around Aurora “no different than the fireworks at our rituals, remember? I can get you your sensory helmet”

“See that heart? I love you guys, thank you for taking me in” Aurora smiled.

“No, no, it’s all good, Lus” Aurora smiled as she watched the fireworks from outside the window, her face brightening up with delight at the different coloured fireworks. She pointed at a heart shaped firework that had just gone off.

“Awwwwww, Rory, thank you for existing!” Cumulus went off, and hugged the small ghoulette “You’re so adorable, I’m going to kiss you again”.

“Sathanas, you guys are so sappy, I can literally feel myself melting” Mist continued, rather roughly, but up close you could see the ends of her lips bulging into a smile.

Cirrus, raised her glass, “To a year filled with adventures, love, and endless mischief!” The clinking of glasses followed, and they each took a sip of the sparkling drink.

“Speaking of adventures, what do you say we kick off the new year with a girls' night out?. Or in, doesn’t have to be out” Cirrus suggested, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

Mist smirked, “I'm always up for trouble. Where do you have in mind, Cirrus?”

“We can fuck around in that club, if you ladies are down for that, or…I think I have some other ideas. We can head into our spot,“ Cirrus spoke with a wink.

“I vote the second!” Sunshine spoked, which was followed by widening of eyes and nods all around.

“Well, then my lovelies, we can head off!” The girls finished their drinks, and Cirrus lead the way, right in front of her room.

“Since Aurora is new, I’d rather stay with her, to make sure the teleportation goes well, this place is easiest for the air ghouls to access, remember”

With a shared understanding, the ghoulettes gathered in a circle, their eyes locking with a blend of excitement and anticipation. Cirrus, the orchestrator of this mystical journey, initiated the ritual. As they kissed one another on the lips, a surge of energy enveloped them, and it felt as though they were plunging into a bottomless abyss.

The sensation was exhilarating and disorienting, like a freefall through a kaleidoscope of colors and ethereal landscapes. Each kiss served as a gateway to another layer of the secret space, a dimension where reality twisted and contorted in response to their collective desires.

As they descended through the boundless expanse, the ghoulettes held onto each other, the sensation of falling creating a thrilling yet secure connection between them. Laughter echoed through the cosmic void, and the colors shifted and danced in harmony with the whims of their collective consciousness.

"Welcome to our sanctuary, my darlings," Cirrus announced, the air pulsating with magical energy.

Colours merged seamlessly with surreal landscapes, creating an otherworldly amalgamation of dreamlike environments. Ethereal doorways lead to realms of fantasy and imagination, responding to the collective desires of the ghoulettes. Time appears to warp and dance to the rhythm of their shared laughter, and the air hums with a palpable magic that binds them together.

Cirrus, still holding Aurora close, led the way through surreal doorways that responded to the collective desires of the ghoulettes. Mist, with her mischievous grin, conjured illusions that danced and twirled alongside them. Cumulus, ever the caretaker, formed floating clouds that added a softness to the surroundings. Sunshine's radiant aura illuminated the space, casting a warm glow on the ghoulettes as they ventured deeper into their secret realm.

As they explored, the ghoulettes discovered hidden corners where reality twisted into fantastical landscapes. Aurora, wide-eyed and fascinated, witnessed the magic that unfolded around her. The heart-shaped firework she had admired in the mundane world seemed to manifest itself in myriad forms within their mystical sanctuary, a testament to the boundless possibilities of their shared imagination.

“This place is so…fucking cool” Aurora squealed in delight, clearly one of her first times in this dimension.

Cumulus, with her characteristic smirk, caught Cirrus by the hand and pulled her close. "Remember, love, what happens here stays between us," she whispered mischievously before sealing the words with a lingering kiss.

“So…lots of kissing then?” Sunshine went off, her voice croaky

Cirrus, caught in the playful energy of the moment, grinned at her remark. "Oh, absolutely," she replied with a twinkle in her eyes. "In this enchanted haven, the possibilities are endless. Kissing, dancing, conjuring up wild fantasies—it's all fair game."

Mist, overhearing the conversation, chimed in with a mischievous smirk, "And let's not forget a bit of harmless supernatural mischief. It wouldn't be a ghoulette night out without a touch of chaos, right?"

In the heart of the enchanted garden, the ghoulettes embraced the freedom to be themselves, their laughter echoing through the celestial surroundings. Cirrus, Cumulus, Mist, Sunshine, and Aurora found themselves drawn to a magical pool at the center of the garden, its surface shimmering with reflections of their ethereal forms.

As they gathered around the pool, Cirrus proposed a spontaneous dance under the celestial lights, an expression of their joy and unity. The ghoulettes, caught up in the enchantment of the moment, swayed to the celestial melody, their movements a seamless blend of magic and grace. Cirrus twirled Cumulus, Mist conjured spectral lights that swirled around them, and Sunshine radiated warmth that embraced them all.

In the midst of their dance, Aurora, with newfound confidence, showcased her own unique dance moves, her movements reflecting the colours of the northern lights. The pool mirrored the magical display, creating a breathtaking symphony of light and motion.

Amidst the dance, Cumulus whispered to Cirrus, "You know, love, this feels like a dream. It's as if the very fabric of our…whatever is woven into the magic of this place."

“Yeah, that’s the whole point, my very beautiful and amazing love” Cirrus smiled, as she poked Cumulus on the nose “You’re so gorgeous”

“Look whose talking” Cumulus smirked

“Say, guys, what would happen if i jumped in the pool?” Mist spoke finally, her ethereal form shining through.

Amidst the light-hearted moments, Mist's question hung in the air, sparking curiosity among the ghoulettes. The magical pool at the center of the garden seemed to hold untold secrets, its surface reflecting the dancing lights and the ethereal forms of the ghoulettes.

Aurora, ever the adventurous spirit, grinned, "There's only one way to find out, right?" Without waiting for an answer, she leaped into the pool, her form creating ripples that shimmered with the enchantment of the secret space.

As Aurora submerged herself, the pool emitted a soft glow, the magical energy responding to her presence. For a moment, it seemed as if the very water was infused with the colours of the northern lights, creating a mesmerising display that mirrored Aurora's ethereal dance beneath the surface.

The ghoulettes, captivated by the spectacle, gathered around the pool, watching as the magical energies intertwined with Aurora's form. The air crackled with anticipation as the pool seemed to hold a secret connection to the essence of their supernatural sisterhood.

Mist, with a mischievous grin, couldn't resist the allure. "Well, fuck, Rory is stealing all the fun," she declared before canon-balled into the pool, creating a cascade of sparkling mist that added to the enchantment.

The pool, now aglow with the energy of the ghoulettes, seemed to respond to their presence in unpredictable ways. Each splash and movement created dazzling patterns of light, as if the very water held the essence of their individual powers. Cirrus, Cumulus, and Sunshine joined in, their elemental abilities amplifying the magical display.

The ghoulettes found themselves in a surreal underwater world, the pool becoming a gateway to a dimension where time and space danced to the rhythm of their collective energies. Fish made of shimmering light darted around them, and ethereal flora swayed with the currents they created. The pool had transformed into a living canvas for their shared magic.

Amidst the enchanting underwater realm, Mist couldn't resist pushing the boundaries. With a mischievous grin, she summoned playful water sprites that twirled and danced around the ghoulettes, adding a whimsical touch to their aquatic adventure. Laughter bubbled up from the depths, merging with the soothing hum of the magical currents.

As they continued to explore the underwater world, Mist's transformation became even more pronounced. Frilly gills adorned her body, especially around the ears, creating an ethereal and mesmerising effect. Her fingers had now taken on a webbed appearance, a manifestation of the magical energies at play.

The water felt different here—alive with a gentle caress that seemed to respond to the ghoulettes' movements. Mist, with her webbed fingers, could feel the currents with an intimate precision. As they swirled and twirled, the water embraced them like a soft, magical embrace, its touch awakening a sense of connection to the very essence of their bonds with each other.

Time passed, as their bodies and magic grew more tired, Sunshine stifled a yawn. The ghoulettes looked at each other and nodded, as they decided to call it quits. They emerged from the water, but not before

Mist took her charm and infused with some of the water of the pool. It shimmered and glowed with her touch, a testament and memorial of what they had just experienced.

Feeling a sense of camaraderie and shared magic, the ghoulettes instinctively gravitated toward Cumulus' room. The air in the room seemed charged with the residual energy of their underwater escapade, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and connection.

Without a word, they huddled closely together on Cumulus' bed, their bodies wrapped around each other. The sensation was comforting, a tangible expression of the sisterhood that bound them beyond the mystical adventures they shared. The room resonated with a quiet energy, a reflection of the unspoken understanding that enveloped the ghoulettes in their shared space.

Cumulus, with her nurturing nature, wrapped her arms around the group, creating a sense of warmth and security. The ghoulettes, in their ethereal forms, melded seamlessly into the embrace, their closeness a testament to the unbreakable bond they shared.

Mist, usually enigmatic and reserved, allowed herself to relax into the embrace, a rare vulnerability visible in her content expression. Aurora, still adjusting to her place among the ghoulettes, felt a sense of acceptance and belonging that warmed her heart.

Cirrus, the orchestrator of their mystical adventures, looked around at her fellow ghoulettes with a serene smile. "To another extraordinary journey," she whispered, raising her hand. The shimmering charm, infused with the essence of their underwater magic, responded with a gentle glow.

ghirls night in !!

ghoulette appreciation week 1 by @jesusbutbetterrr

[tothesoundofthefreakyclock]

Era IV - V Ghouls HCs (part 1)

Color shows who made what hc - reblogs are appreciated!

Disclaimer!! We don't call Sodo, well... Sodo. We instead call him Smoke.

Basics

Phantom and Aurora are siblings with Aurora being the older sibling. Back in the Pits since they were ghoul kits they've been inseparable. They were summoned together. Can be a bit chaotic with each other if left alone together, but the moment Swiss joins in they'll all need to be watched like a hawk.

It took a while for Mountain, Smoke, and Aether to warm up to Copia as frontman since they were used to Terzo

Ghoulettes have girls night every week. They blast white girl bangers all night

Ghouls send Copia the ant with bindle photo when he scolds them to get out of trouble (it always works)

While most ghouls like to play fight, Swiss and Aurora do it the most and it’s usually pretty intense so the others avoid with them unless feeling particularly worked up. You would think they were actually trying to kill each other but no

Cirrus, Cumulus, Smoke, and Swiss watch those shitty reality TV shows to point fun at humans and the awful things they do. This is nearly a weekly thing if any of them have time to hang out with free time.

Cumulus and Cirrus always would send messages with at least one emoticon

We know Mountain is the tallest, but the smallest current ghouls are both Cumulus and Aurora at 5’3”. However, they are not the smallest ghouls of modern day Ghost (that title goes to Mist at 4'10" aka three sauces tall.)

Smoke/Dewdrop

He/they

Summoning day is June 21st, 2015

Favorite animal is pangolins because they look like dragons

Transmasc (ftm)

Went by Dewdrop when water ghoul, but changed it to Smoke when he became a fire ghoul

Middle child energy

He still has some fin-like features on him, but not as much as before. Some water ghouls could have scales like fish, so you'd have to squint to see the patches of scales on Smoke. They were larger when he was still water. The fire features kinda override it.

Not mean (unless it's Aether /j), just easily irritated

Would never get angry at any ghoulettes. He drinks respect women juice everyday. He most definitely fears Cirrus sometimes

Sometimes joins the ghoulettes with their girls night just to get away from all the chaos, especially after a rough week

Will sell Aether's non-existent soul for a single corn chip

Ok he actually does care about Aether, but he just has limits to his shenanigans.

Has a huge crush on Aurora, but can't find any way to express it so he just runs away the moment she looks at him. Ran into walls and door frames multiple times because of this.

Since he was transformed into a fire ghoul instead of naturally born like that, the features a fire ghoul would normally have are weaker with him (ex: he doesn’t radiate much heat from his body)

Wants affection and then bites when he’s had enough like a cat

Doesn’t take criticism very well

Aether

He/him

Summoning day is June 24th, 2015

Favorite animal is tigers because of how big they are and goofy they can be at times

One of my three weed smoking girlfriends

Little sibling energy that Smoke the main victim of

One of the most kindest ghouls you'll meet

He has some knowledge in healing and health, so if any of the ghouls, or anyone who is close to him in general, are sick or injured they go straight to Aether

He does that thing where he gets his hands wet and flings his fingers out to get water on Smoke

Helped take care of and watch over ghoul kits back in the Pits

He is still around the Ministry after leaving Ghost and still hangs out with the others when they're not touring.

If he could wear socks in sandals all the time he would

Very sensitive. Cries at those sad dog ads and donates the Ministry’s money

—

Mountain

He/they

Summoning day is June 19th, 2015

Favorite animal is ram since he has similar horns like them and how tough they are when butting heads with each other

Gentle giant

Has long, dark black hair that is super soft to touch and doesn’t mind the others playing with his hair

Ghoul equivalent to a golden retriever

Like a big brother to Smoke and Aether

Doesn't hunt like the other ghouls. He is able to control his urges, and plus there's already food inside so why bother

Plant dad. Even if you give him a fake plant he'll still love and cherish it. Names them all

Usually will have to stop Smoke from trying to lunge for Aether’s throat

Taller than the average earth ghoul at 7’3”. There were bruises on his face because of walking right into door frames when first summoned. Gets front passenger seat privileges

Keeper of air jail (lifting somebody up if they are causing trouble) Grabbing em by the scruff when the others are fighting

Rain

Any pronouns

Summoning day is July 18th, 2016

Favorite animal is blue marlin because of how fast it can swim and the sword-like appendage on their noses

Likes to keep fishies

Can only sleep when it’s pitch black

Has shark like features (the teeth, tail, sense of smell, etc)

Not shy at all, but just not very social. Possible social anxiety? Yes social anxiety bc projection

Eats the rainbow aquarium rocks like they're Nerds candy.

Mainly sticks around with Mountain since the two have good chemistry.

Gets mad at his own hiccups

Genderfluid

—

Cumulus

She/ey

Summoning day is April 4th, 2016

Favorite animal is mourning dove because of how they coo

Wine aunt

Anxiety. Not too terrible, but it still is awful

Would bring a dead animal inside after hunting and call it her Girl Dinner™

Literal Disney princess. She could sing and birds would fly to her to sing along

Terrified when first summoned. Glued to Cirrus’ side for the first six months

She is one of the sweetest ghoulettes, but she has quite a bit of weird and creepy pictures and items that will freak people out. Her and Swiss send each other cursed images and videos

Very motherly and protective of the others

Loves to wear fluffy, cloud-like clothing

Link to part 2 will be here soon!

[everybodyshusband]

i'm a bit late to the party but...

girl's night in

ghoulette appreciation weeks ; week one (jan 1-6)

sunshine, cumulus, aurora & cirrus | approx. 750 words | a massive thank you to @jesusbutbetterrr for organising this whole thing !!!

~

“What do you mean the bar’s closed?” Sunshine complained from her seat in front of the mirror.

“I dunno, but that’s what Google says,” Aurora reasons, spinning her phone around to show the multi ghoulette.

Sunshine wails and thuds her head down onto the table. One of her blush compacts falls to the floor and Cumulus lets out a pained gasp as if the sound of the expensive rouge breaking against the ground has physically hurt her. “But I wanted to go ooouuut!”

“Oh, love.” The faint sound of the hair dryer shuts off and Cirrus pokes her head through the bathroom door. “I’m sure,” she starts again, significantly quieter this time now that there is no longer any wind whooshing against her ears, “that somewhere else will still be open. Can you have a look, Rors?”

“I have,” Aurora admits. “Everywhere else is closed too. Stupid public holiday. Stupid New Year’s Day…”

“Noooo!” Sunshine moans again, beginning to reach for her makeup wipes and erase all her hard work.

“Sunny, wait,” Cumulus suggests from where she’s sitting next to Aurora on the bed. When Sunshine turns to look at the air ghoulette, Cumulus is a vision in a close-fitting dress of light blue fabric. The dress sparkles in the low candlelight when she shifts and as Sunshine gets a perfect view of exactly how well the dress hugs the air ghoulette’s figure, she wants.

Wants to kiss her. Wants to take her out to a romantic dinner and feed her bites of chocolate cake along with sips of her favourite prosecco. Wants to walk hand in hand along that winding river near the Abbey and kiss her under the weeping willow tree. She wants to take her back home and watch shitty romcoms until the early hours of the morning and kiss again, this time with the taste of mint chocolate chip ice cream on each of their tongues. Wants to hear her love’s sharply inhaled breath when Sunshine pushes the fabric of her partner’s dress down to her ribs, dips her chilled mouth a little lower and sucks pretty bruises into Cumulus’ pale breasts. She wants—needs, really—to feel those quiet, breathy sighs against her neck when she caresses the air ghoulette’s thighs and teases her right in the spot that makes her–

“Sunny, are you listening to me?” The voice of the very person Sunshine is daydreaming about startles her back into the present moment. She pointedly tears her gaze away from the cleavage spilling out from the fabric adorning Cumulus’ chest. “I asked if you wanted to stay dressed up anyway? We can raid the kitchen for some drinks. Maybe it won’t be exactly like we planned, but we’ll still have fun!”

“Yeah!” Aurora agrees. “Swiss still has loads of leftover drinks and mixing stuff from his body shots phase, so we’ll have heaps of stuff to make drinks if we want!”

“Oh, Sathanas, what a phase that was…” Cirrus almost moans at the memory as she makes her way out of the bathroom, her low-rise mini skirt doing sinful things to her exposed hip bones.

Sunshine tilts her head back and forth, considering her options. She must admit that even if this wasn’t the original plan, having a fun night in instead of a night out sounds a lot better than moping about all the bars being closed. “Yeah,” she concedes eventually, grinning. “Yeah, that sounds nice!”

“Ooh, does that mean I can take my shoes off now?” Aurora asks, not waiting for an answer before pulling her boots off. They’re pretty pink things that Mist gifted her as a late summoning present after having gotten to know the band’s newest multi ghoulette, all platforms and chunky heels, covered in matching pink ribbons and bells. Aurora adores them, but she’s always one to forgo shoes when given the opportunity, so now their little group has elected to have their "girl’s night out" in, the shoes are the first things to come off. She takes after Sunshine in that way, but at this stage, Aurora has stuck with only disliking shoes. When the older multi ghoulette had been summoned, it had taken months to persuade her towards the importance of wearing clothes around other people.

“Well, then.” Cumulus stands and claps her hands, already reaching for her favourite ‘going out’ leather jacket and slinging it over her shoulders as she opens the door for them all to file out. “Shall we?”

Ghoulette Appreciation: Week 1

I kicked the writer's block and was able to write the first prompt for @jesusbutbetterrr ghoulette months :3 I did a mix of start of something new and girl's night in

All the prompts I do are gonna be nothing but Mistshine! I'm taking this as an excuse to write for my favorite ghoulette pairing, but of course all of them will be making appearances :3

Word Count: 1937

Tags: ghoulette pile, drunk/high sex, Mist is intersex with a tentacle, transfem Sunshine

Summary: The band would be heading out on tour soon and the girls have their last Ghoulette Night before they're separated for months

Mist was one to usually keep to herself. They were quiet, reserved, preferring the calm silence over chaotic company. Some thought it was because she was cold, emotionless, and a bit of a prude. Others thought it was because she was too dangerous for even the other ghouls to be around them. The venomous barbs sheathed in their wrists were proof enough. 

That was the problem with humans, Mist thought, they never see the full picture. While some of their whispers had merit, they would never understand why. Mist was a deep sea water ghoul. Unlike your average ghoul of any variety really, the deep sea beasts were solitary in nature. The only time they’d see another of their kind that wasn’t immediate kin would be during the mating seasons. The only packs that existed were made up entirely of family, and even then those packs were minuscule. It was rare for deep-sea ghouls to have more than two kits. 

So yes, Mist could be described as cold and reserved, but it didn’t reflect all of her. Living on the surface taught her how nice it is to have packmates. To know that any of them would drop everything for her if she needed, and she’d do the same. Of course, as much as she cherishes each and every ghoul, that doesn’t change her basic nature. She still enjoys her alone time, needs it. They spend so much of their free time alone that they’re always a little surprised when ghouls come looking. 

It’s not often that they find themselves sitting on a lumpy bean bag in Cirrus and Cumulus’ room surrounded by the other ghoulettes and copious amounts of wine, weed, and self-care products. Mist would be lying if they said they didn’t enjoy these rare nights of pure indulgence. They’d let Cumulus and the newly summoned Aurora use her for makeup practice, they’d let them put whatever cream or lotion on her because it made them happy. Mist would let Cirrus keep her glass full of the wine she had Swiss steal from Terzo’s personal collection. They’d let Sunshine feed her a joint until she got bold enough to sit in their lap and shotgun. 

Mist would do the same for all of them. She’d bring the best food to complement the wine. She’d brush their hair and work knots out of their muscles with her rough hands. She’d give exactly as much as she’d take. 

Tonight’s Ghoulette Night was bigger than any they’d had recently. It was the last before Cirrus, Cumulus, and Aurora would be off on tour. The wine was the sweetest Swiss could get his claws on. The weed was harvested directly from Mountain’s personal store. Mist had even broken into the Ministry cellars to get their hands on the best meats and cheeses for the ghoulettes to snack on. It was a necessity, she had decided. 

Now they all sit in Cirrus’ nest, more than a little buzzed and lazily touching each other. 

“Fuck I’m gonna miss this” Sunshine sighs, resting her head on Mist’s shoulder. 

“Me too” Aurora giggles when Cumulus kisses behind her ear. 

“We can always make a shitty nest and drink shitty wine in the hotels” Cirrus chirps.

“No way! You guys aren’t allowed to do it without us!” Sunny sticks her tongue out and clings closer to Mist. 

Mist just hums and squeezes her waist. 

“Oh we’re still definitely drinking” Lus purrs “but it won’t be the same without everyone.” 

“I don’t wanna think about that. Don’t wanna think.” 

Sunny suddenly jolts from where she had been lounging against Mist. She crawls into her lap and Mist knows she’s grown impatient. It’s an unholy miracle it took this long for her to start this. Usually, when they’ve snatched Mountain’s weed they’re all wrapped around each other before a coherent conversation can be held. 

“Wow, Sunny I think that’s a new record for you” Cirrus laughs but starts to shift Aurora onto her lap. 

“Took you long enough” Cumulus slots herself behind Aurora, caging her in. 

Mist had to agree. They had been painfully waiting for Sunshine to make her move. It always started like this. They’d all relax and let the alcohol and smoke turn time to honey until one of them couldn’t take the anticipation anymore. It was usually Sunny, save for Aurora’s first Ghoulette Night. 

Mist loved the way Sunny would always cling to her first. No matter what they did to her, Sunny would always come back for more. Mist would be lying if she said it wasn’t addictive. With Sunny finally in their lap, they made their move. 

“This is for making me wait” she whispers low before sinking their fangs into the side of her neck. 

Sunny whines high-pitched, twitching her hips forward, dragging her cock against them. Mist squeezes her hips harder, feeling their tentacle start to poke out of its sheath. 

“‘M sorry” she squirms.

“No, you’re not” Mist tears Sunny’s crop top off. 

She just giggles and shrugs. 

On the other side of the nest, Cirrus is lying flat on her back as Aurora scoots closer and closer to her face. Cumulus has one hand under her skirt and another in Cirrus’ underwear. 

“Don’t look at them” Mist grabs her jaws and forces her attention “You only know me.”

They crash their lips together in an almost possessive manner. It's filthy instantly with tongue and fang licking and clacking together. Mist yanks at the short hairs around the nape of her neck pulling breathy little gasps from her. She slides her hands under the hem of Mist’s shorts, slowly starting to pull them down. 

“Lords below it has a mind of its own” Sunny giggles feeling their tentacle writhe against her fingertips. 

“You say that every time” Mist deadpans. 

“Whaaaat I think it’s hot how excited—“ 

She’s cut off by Mist tweaking both of her nipples. They drag the flat of their tongue over the scars under Sunny’s breasts before replacing a finger with her mouth. She sucks and nips at her tits until they’re decorated with purple and blue marks as deep as Mist’s eyes. Until she can feel Sunny’s cock kicking in her pants. 

Her eyes briefly flick when Aurora moans. Cirrus’ face is covered by the fabric of her skirt and her thighs. Aurora shakes, grinding down on her face. Cumulus is laying on her stomach, face buried in Cirrus. 

Mist's attention is drawn back when she feels warm fingers teasing her cunt. Sunny is grinning down where she has her hand shoved into her shorts, tentacle wrapping around her wrist to pull her closer. 

“I think it’s unfair you get to look at them but I don’t” she pouts, but slowly slides a finger inside of them. 

Mist grabs her wrist, yanking her hand away. They shove their shorts down enough to let their tentacle fully free before popping the button on Sunny’s pants and wiggling her out of them. She seats Sunny back on her lap, letting the tentacle probe curiously at her ass. 

“You’re right. It is unfair” she wraps a hand around Sunny’s cock right as the tip wiggles in “but I want all of you.” 

Sunshine squirms and whines as the tentacle slowly slides into her, wet and sticky with Mist’s slick. They squeeze the base of her cock and Sunny yelps. Mist does it again and again and again, pulling those pretty little sounds from her. 

They latch onto her neck, trailing bruising kisses up her throat. She licks into Sunny’s mouth tasting her sweet orange and vanilla flavor. Sunshine pants into her mouth as the tentacle writhes within her. Mist starts to jack her off, pressing a cruel finger to the underside of her head every time their fist passes over. 

Maybe it’s the wine. Maybe it’s the weed. Maybe it’s the noises of Cirrus, Cumulus, and Aurora. Maybe it’s just Mist, but Sunshine can already feel her balls drawing up as her cock spits pre.

Mist bites her bottom lip and trails wet opened mouth kisses up to her ear. They drag their tongue over the shell before biting the lobe. 

“Cum for me”  they whisper low. 

Sunny does. Hard. Everything is intense and floaty as she spills over Mist’s hand. Tears prick the corners of her eyes from the tentacle still moving inside her ass. Mist snickers, kissing across her collarbones. 

“Mist can we play? Pretty please?” 

They slowly unlatch from Sunshine and look down. Aurora, now completely naked, has crawled over to them. Her eyes are big, pleading, and a little red. Something inside Mist burns. She doesn’t understand why, it’s not like she dislikes Aurora. Quite the opposite actually, she thinks her bold nature is quite charming. But when Sunshine wiggles off of them at the call of Cirrus and Cumulus, the burn only intensifies. They make a mental note of this, something to examine later, before they push Aurora onto her back and climb between her legs. 

The tentacle immediately starts slipping into her cunt and Aurora giggles at the sensation.

“You didn’t let me have this last time.” 

Mist tears her gaze away from where Sunny is choking on Cumulus’ strap. 

“You were new. I didn’t want to frighten you.” 

“Please” she snorts, “it takes a lot to get me to crack.” 

Mist tilts their head with an eyebrow raised. 

“C’mon Mist I’ve heard the others talk. Give it to me.” 

“Hm. Not here. Not now.” 

“Why not?” She huffs. 

Mist leans forward, wrapping a hand around Aurora’s throat, and squeezes hard enough to make her gasp. 

“Because” they whisper “if I'm going to, I want you tied to my bed so I can break you.” 

Aurora’s eyes roll to the back of her head and she clenches hard around the tentacle. 

Mist tries to put all their focus on fucking Aurora, giving her a little something to think about as the tour starts up, but everything is clouded by the noises Sunny is making only a few feet away. Every gasp, whine, keen has a flash of heat coursing through her body. She doesn’t understand why though. They’ve been having these nights since the two air ghoulettes were summoned and not once has this happened before. 

She decides it’s the effects of Mountain’s weed, she was always a lightweight when it came to anything drugs. They shake it off and drop a hand to Aurora’s clit, circling it as they squeeze her neck. 

Aurora cums with Mist’s name on her tongue. They coax the tentacle out of her and help her sit up. She props her up, letting her lean against her as she snatches a nearby bottle of wine and offers her some. The two cuddle and pass the bottle back and forth as they watch Cirrus and Cumulus milk every last drop out of Sunshine’s cock. 

“You’re growling,” Aurora says sleepily. 

Mist hadn’t even realized. She stops herself immediately with a cough and swig. Sunshine cries out both of the air ghoulettes names and they nearly choke on the wine. That fire ignites in her belly again and now that she’s not buried to the hilt in Aurora she can place a name to that feeling. 

Jealousy. Possession. 

She wanted to be the one to get Sunny to cry like that. 

She didn’t want to hear another name roll out of her mouth. 

She was confused. Ghouls share everything, even the solitary deep-sea ghouls were strangers to monogamy. So why was Mist feeling this way watching Sunny be taken apart by someone who wasn’t her? 

This is new.

Aurora had no clue where she was being led to. It’d been just a minute ago that she was in her assigned room with Phantom, when Cirrus suddenly came to ‘retrieve’ her. No details had been given, although Phantom was told not to wait. The young ghoulette wasn’t nervous, merely curious. She happily skipped after Cirrus.

“Where are we going?”

“You’ll see.”

“Why couldn’t Phantom come?”

“You’ll see.”

“Are we gonna do something fun?”

Cirrus stopped walking momentarily, turning around with a grin, “Oh, absolutely.”

That peaked Aurora’s interest even further. She squealed in excitement, causing Cirrus to quickly turn around with her index finger held over her lips.

“Aurora,” Her voice was quiet, but stern, “We need to be subtle now. We’re almost there.”

The little ghoulette froze before nodding. The last bit of the way she walked on her toes, avoiding eye contact with any passing siblings.

Eventually the two rounded the umpteenth corner. The only warning for Cirrus’ next actions was a quick look over her shoulder. When she was sure it was only her and Aurora in the hall, she opened a seemingly random door and pulled her friend inside by the arm.

Aurora automatically yelped at the movement, covering her mouth as the door closed behind her.

The room wasn’t very big, seeming like it was just someone’s office. There was an empty desk, a loveseat and a coffee table, two armchairs pulled up next to it. The table was covered in a variety of snacks and drinks, some of which were very fancy looking wine.

There were already three others in the room; Sunshine sat on the floor while Cumulus and, someone who Aurora deduced must have been, Mist were on a couch.

“There they are!” Sunshine beamed.

The little ghoulette turned to Cirrus again, silently asking if she was allowed to speak yet.

“Ask away, Honey.”

“What’s happening?” She blurted out, causing some giggles to erupt throughout the room.

“Welcome to ghoulettes’ night.” Cumulus said proudly, opening her arms in invitation.

Aurora skidded forward, making her way onto the air ghoulette’s lap. She needed someone familiar to get through her confusion. She purred as she snuggled further into the warm embrace.

“Listen, we love everyone in the pack, of course we do,” Cirrus explained as she got herself seated in one of the chairs, her legs swung over one of the armrests, “But sometimes it’s nice to be surrounded by people who understand you in just the right way. Thus, ghoulettes’ night was born.”

“We have to be sneaky about it though,” Cumulus added, “The guys would probably just feel excluded if they found out.”

“Babies.” Mist mumbled.

Aurora slowly nodded, trying to take in all the information, “Alright… So what do we do now?”

“We chat, we drink and we kiss a bunch.” Sunshine’s eyebrows wiggled as she reached over to open the bottle of wine.

“Sunny.” Cumulus said with a scolding tone.

“It’s true!” She defended herself, already pouring some wine glasses full, sending a questioning look to Aurora, who happily accepted the offer with a nod.

Everyone was handed one of the drinks, except for Cirrus who never drank alcohol of any kind. This had already been taken into account, a nice fruity soda poured and waiting for her.

“Cheers!” Cirrus smiled, moving around to clink her glass against all the others.

The gals all went around in a circle, with Sunshine widening her eyes to look into those of everyone else. It caught Aurora off guard, automatically backing up a bit.

“Sun, you’re scaring the newbie.” Mist noted.

“I have to! Eye contact, or it’s seven years of bad sex.” She explained.

“I have never looked you in the eyes and our sex is great.” The water ghoulette argued back.

“Bah.” Sunshine made a dismissive noise, downing her glass like it was a shot, “Speaking of, Aurora have you banged topside yet?”

“Cut right to the chase will you?” Cirrus smirked at her friend’s brazenness.

“I haven’t.” The little ghoulette answered truthfully.

“Wait, really?!” Cumulus’ hand froze, her glass halfway raised to her mouth, “I thought you and Swiss…” She trailed off in a whisper.

“I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed to it.” Aurora couldn’t contain a smirk of her own, trying to hide it by sipping her wine. The drink had a fruity aftertaste, though it wasn’t too appetizing. But it would get a pass for tonight. The others gasped or cheered, excited at the prospect on her behalf.

“Let me tell you this much, I have never seen that man so willing to fall to his knees for anyone.” Cirrus encouraged the idea further.

“Having him do the work does seem nice. I don’t even know how to even kiss.” Aurora awkwardly laughed.

“But you have kissed before, right?” Sunshine leaned closer, hoping for a negative answer and a chance to do so herself. Mist pulled her back by her shoulder, shooting her an unamused, though not genuinely upset, look. Sunny pouted, before leaning in to kiss her girlfriend softly.

While those two were distracted, Cumulus looked at Aurora, still waiting for the answer. The multi ghoulette shook her head subtly, but it was enough to be noticed.

Cumulus shifted her on her lap, letting her get a little closer, “Would you like to?” She whispered, trying not to pull too much attention to them.

Aurora blushed, shades of red, pink and a little orange dancing over her cheeks like the northern lights. Even knowing she’d eventually get to a point of getting physical with her new pack, she’d always been mesmerized by Cumulus specifically. Her joyful personality, soft hair and puffy lips just begging to be kissed. Aurora nodded again, barely registering that she was doing so in the first place, until Cumulus started leaning closer.

Her lips were even softer than expected. She made sure to take it slow, not wanting to overwhelm Aurora in her first kiss. It was short and sweet, but it was everything they both could have ever wished for.

When they both pulled back, Aurora got a good look at Cumulus’ glad smile. It made her squeal excitedly, burying her face back into her shoulder because she didn’t know what else to do.

The only thing that made her look back up was a chirping for her side. Cirrus, tired of being left out by the rest, had moved to snuggle into Cumulus’ side.

Her fellow air ghoulette happily complied, kissing her as well, though much more passionately.

Aurora looked on in admiration, the two seemingly fit together so well. So could only wish to get to that point herself. A quick whistle made her turn her head, finding Sunshine holding out a hand and the bottle of wine, offering a refill. She gladly handed her glass over, immediately taking a sizable gulp as soon as she got it back.

Once the bottom of that had been reached, not too long after, she held it out to Sunshine again, silently asking for more. She didn’t really feel the effects yet. She had been tipsy once before, but maybe this wine was just really weak?

“But how does one… Uh… How does- you- how-” Aurora tried wording her thoughts, all of a sudden finding herself struggling to grasp the words.

“And that’s quite enough for you.” Cirrus said, taking the glass from Aurora’s hands.

“Noooooo,” She whined, “I’m fine, just… thinking.” She had no clue where that sentence was going, merely wanting her glass back. She’d grown to enjoy the taste a lot more, glad to have more.

“She may just be a bigger lightweight than Rain.” Mist chuckled and leaned into Sunshine’s side, starting feeling the effects of the alcohol herself.

“Am not!” Aurora disagreed as if it was an insult.

“You are.” Sunshine laughed back.

“Lies!”

“Truths!” Mist joined in.

Aurora held tighter onto Cumulus as if to hide. The air ghoulette smiled, petting her head comfortingly.

“Aurora.” Mist tried to get her attention. She merely whined again, staying close to Cumulus, “Aurora, you wanna see something fun?”

She wanted to ignore the call further, but her tipsy curiosity got the better of her, “Let me see.” Her voice reflected her not so hidden excitement at what it might be, her tail nearly slapping Cumulus with how quickly it swished back and forth.

The water ghoulette grinned, pulling a little bright pink vial from her pocket. She unscrewed the top, turning her head before bringing a little wet circle up to her lips and blowing.

Aurora’s mouth was wide agape as she watched the blown bubbles slowly float down towards the ground. She leaned in closer, little by little, until one of them was right in front of her face. She yelped when it hit her nose and burst, sending some of the soapy substance into her eyes.

Mist kicked her legs with a cackle as the multi ghoulette brushed her eyes.

“More! More!” Aurora cheered, clumsily falling off of Cumulus’ lap  and onto the couch. She laid on her stomach, head leaning on her hands.

Mist tried her hardest to follow the command, but her lack of breath due to laughing was making it impossible. Every failed attempt only made her go more ballistic, “I tried-” She wanted to speak, but cut herself off with her continued laughter.

“Are you guys ok?” Cirrus asked rhetorically, her face clearly amused by the scene in front of her. Sunshine and Cumulus also had their full attention on the two, the latter already giggling along.

“I tri-” Mist still failed to tell her story, her face red as a cherry with tears freely streaming over her cheeks.

This time Sunshine noticed her attempt, however, immediately knowing what she wanted to share. They both loved this story, “Mist one time tried to blow bubbles herself…” She’d been confident she’d be able to tell the story. But no. It was way easier to laugh at it instead.

“What?!” Aurora was dying to know, although she probably would barely even hear it over all the laughter, including her own.

Cumulus was still giggly, but not nearly as bad as the others, making an attempt herself, “She wanted to see if she could blow bubbles like that herself since, you know, water ghoulette. So she geniusly decided to take a swig of dish soap,” Slowly she too was starting to crack, especially when seeing Aurora’s disgusted expression, “I didn’t work.” She finally broke, joining the rest in laughter.

“It was horrid!” Mist recalled, holding her tongue outside her mouth as if she could still taste it.

“You just… gave up too soon. Would’ve been a great party trick.” Sunshine finally managed to catch her breath again.

“Guess we’ll have to settle for this little guy.” Mist wiped her tears away, holding up her little bubble blower vial and planting a small kiss on it.

“That’s what I think every time I fuck Dew.” Cirrus joked with a monotone voice, quickly backtracking with a smile when everyone laughed at the comment, “That was a joke! That was a joke, he’s great!”

Somehow that only made the group lose it further. Had it not been for the good atmosphere, and the drinks in most of their systems, they would’ve worried about all the noise leading the guys to their location after all. But screw any of that, they had nothing to hide. They were all just having the time of their life and nothing else really mattered in that moment.

[My Main Masterlist | Ghoulettes Appreciation Weeks 2024 Masterlist]

[powahko]

I'm always with you

This fanfic is born from my brain having an imaginary (!!!!) conversation to cope with Aether's absence in the first ritual of the Re-Imperatour in Rouen. I wanted to share it in case someone like me needs to cope.

I also took a small inspiration from @myghemicalghostmance

It's fucking 1 AM what am I doing. (Update: finished on 2AM)

⚠️Warnings⚠️: angst, character and irl person association, mention of Aether and Sunshine's real names, kinda vent, if you see grammatical errors feel free to correct me

PS: Imagine he's back on tour in one week's time when I'm going to the concert lmaoooo

°°°°°°°°°

I freeze as soon as I read the tweet

"New quintessence ghoul"

My heart skips a beat.

My breath stops.

A choking noise, that sounds like a broken air pump comes from my throat. My hands slide over my face and I bend over, resting my elbows on my knees.

"What's the matter?"

After having scraped together a shred of voice I reply:

"Aether's not in the first ritual. Missing. Gone."

I look at my phone determined to find out more, whether it's temporary or not, other fans' reactions. I scroll through Twitter and hold my breath as I slowly obtain information.

There are some photos of the new ghoul, the rhythm guitarist who replaced Aether. I also find out that Sunshine isn't on tour and there's a new ghoulette to replace her too.

I feel my chest sinking deeper.

Scrolling through the comments, I also discover that Sophie is busy with another project and that she won't be present on the tour at all.

But there is no certain information about Aether, it is not known where Chris is, if he is ill, if he will be able to make it for other rituals.

I let out a small, broken sob and curl up on myself.

I did not expect it.

I wasn't ready for this news.

I'm not ready.

My heart fills with anguish, tightens, twists, cries desperately, and I try to ease the pain by bringing a hand to my chest, clawing at the fabric of the shirt I'm wearing.

"What's going on darling?"

I hear a familiar voice from afar

"She's sad you're not on tour"

A pair of footsteps approach and I don't lift my head to look at the person I already know they belong to, I'm not ready for the sight.

"Hi Chris" I greet him in a sad voice

"Does someone need a hug?" He says.

I can feel without looking his warm smile radiating kindness and see his eyes softening.

I lift my head and peer through my fingers pressed to my face.

"Can I?" I ask

The smile broadens

"Of course"

He picks me up and makes me sit on his lap, facing him, and I bury my face in his shoulder as I slide my arms around his chest to hold him tightly.

My heart throws out everything it feels: waves of disappointment, bitterness, a sense of loss and betrayal.

Almost sensing all this, Chris sighs and runs a hand through my hair.

"Oh, honeybug..."

I hold him tighter and my breath shakes.

We stay like that for a while until I start talking again.

"I'm not angry at the new ghoul, I'm not, really. It's just that I was so looking forward to see you. My sweet big softie boi" as those last words leave my lips I snort

"Mh-mh" he replies sympathetically

I regain my breath as he strokes my head with one hand and my back with the other.

"I mean, if you won't be back, I'll surely get to appreciate more the new ghoul and the new ghoulette.

I just...need time to...process the loss...ehehe"

"You say that like I'm dead or something" he chuckles.

"Nah man I don't mean it like that, it's just... He's my comfort character, you know?"

"Oh, yes? Well, he's kind of me in a way and I'm kind of him in a way. So I'm your comfort character?"

"I...didn't want to...uhm...yes..."

He laughs softly, squeezing me gently.

I huff awkwardly against his chest with an unintentional smirk on my lips.

"Aether...he's like...almost a safe male figure for me, y-you know what I mean?"

Fuck, I hope it's not too weird

"I think I understand"

I sigh in relief

"...So like, I'm confident that if you will not come back anymore the majority of the fandom will unanimously agree that Aeth was just getting older and feeling too tired to be a band ghoul so now he's working in the medical wing of the abbey full time rather than being sent back to the pit or dying. I think that a small percentage will enjoy writing about angsty Aether death fics or something like that, I don't even have the strength...those emotional masochists crazy fucks"

His roaring laughter fills the air and I smile happily

As he stops he lowers to rest his chin on my head

"Well, I'm sure you will make it, one way or another.

And I will always be with you, if you believe it enough. Okay?" He whispers with an, oh so sweet tone

"...Okay *sniff*...thank you"

"You're welcome darling"

"...Now if you'll excuse me I'll take this seat for the rest of the night"

"Nooo hahahah"

Ghoulette Appreciation Week 1

Week 1: Start of something new & Girls night in/out

"Sunshine battled her curls back from her face, put on her most obliging smile, and thanked Lucifer below that human noses couldn’t smell fear." Sunshine is staying back at the Abbey while the others leave on tour. Anxieties about her new job, goodbye kisses, and a final Girls Night in.

Sunshine x Cirrus x Cumulus x Aurora Content: Light angst, hurt/comfort (pre-tour goodbyes) Rating: general Words: 2274

A huge thank you to @jesusbutbetterrr et al. for organising the ghoulette appreciation weeks!

Read below or on AO3!

Sunshine battled her curls back from her face, put on her most obliging smile, and thanked Lucifer below that human noses couldn’t smell fear.

Lifetime job security Imperator had said (although who’s lifetime was anyone’s guess) if she and Aether stayed at the Abbey while the band was on tour. A guaranteed spot topside for the whole pack, for as long as they wanted it, in exchange for several months separation while they trained the influx of new clergy members at the Abbey. Ahead of her first day, Sunshine couldn’t help but wonder how unpleasant this job was going to be.

She was in charge of administration training, which mostly meant teaching young new clergy how to fill out tax forms and change typewriter ribbons, while Aether was training medics in both human and ghoul ailments for the infirmary. What Sunshine suspected this meant however was doing five times the paperwork she normally did, as well as acting as Sister Imperator’s personal dogsbody and scapegoat.

Sunshine forced a smile in the mirror, trying to project an air of confidence beyond her small stature, and smoothed down the front of her uniform shirt. This is all for the pack she told herself, begging the butterflies in her stomach to settle down at the thought of her first day ahead.

She ran a fingertip along the golden barrette in her hair, a farewell gift from the ghoulettes, then pressed it to her lips. That was the best she was going to manage for a good luck kiss today.

She thought back to the last kisses she had shared with the ghoulettes in the early hours of the previous morning. She and Aether had waved the band off on the bus, and used every shred of their collective willpower not to sprint down the driveway after them. The girls had stayed up all night before leaving, declaring such little sleep pointless, and having their final Girls Night in what would be an achingly long time.

They’d pulled out all the stops to try and compensate for the coming months of separation. Sunny knew they could call and see each others’ faces, but their solid presence and smell would be irreplaceable once apart. They’d sat around on Cumulus’ plush bed in pyjamas, drinking monstrously large hot chocolates and watching their collective favourite movie, all curled into each other in a tangle of legs and tails. They tried hard to distract themselves from the impending alarm on Cirrus’ phone which would pull the three touring ghoulettes away from Sunshine.

When the phone began chiming, it sounded like a death knell to Sunshine. Around her, the three ghoulettes began grumbling and stumbling towards their bus loungewear neatly laid out on the desk, Aurora’s idea to maximise their time together before leaving. Their suitcases were packed and lined up in the hallway outside for the same reason.

Sunshine looked up at them from the bed with a stricken look on her face and tears pre-emptively filling her eyes. Now the time for them to leave was here, it seemed impossible that she would survive their absence. Cirrus noticed the second her head popped back out of her hoodie, and she rushed back to Sunny with hands outstretched. She grasped the smaller ghoulette’s in hers, calloused fingers stroking over her knuckles, and pulled her to her feet and into her embrace.

“I changed my mind Riri, I don’t think I can do this anymore!” Sunshine hiccupped, failing at keeping her voice steady.

“My precious Sunbeam, you’re being so brave. You’ll manage splendidly without us, those new Siblings are going to be eating out of your pretty hand within a week!” Cirrus rubbed her back soothingly. “And besides, you’ll have Aether for company, I’ve got to wrangle the five boys without him!” she joked weakly, trying her best to make Sunny smile. She had a little success.

“I’m gonna miss you so much…” she sniffed, trying not to make a mess of Cirrus’ sweater. “Promise you’ll call?”

“Of course I will Sweetheart, every chance we get.”

The pair stayed swaying together for as long as they could spare while Sunshine tried her best to steady her breathing, before pulling back slightly to look into Cirrus’ slate grey eyes.

“Can I give you your goodbye kiss here? I don’t think I’ll let you leave otherwise.”

“Oh my sweet girl, I’ll miss you every second I’m away from you” Cirrus’ normally composed demeanour seemed on the verge of shattering too, as she leaned down to capture Sunny’s lips with her own. Eventually they had to separate, Cirrus running a finger along Sunshine’s jaw as though to memorise the shape.

As Cirrus reluctantly moved to finish dressing, Aurora approached with a small wrapped gift.

“We got you this, Sunny. So whenever you miss us you can remember how much we love you.”

Sunshine unwrapped the small parcel, revealing a shining gold hair clip. A sun, moon, star and cloud decorated the metal, one symbol for each of the ghoulettes.

“It’s beautiful, Starlight, thank you!” Sunny clipped it into her fringe, before leaning in to press a chaste kiss to the tiny multi ghoulette’s lips. She tasted like the strawberry chapstick she used so often, that Sunshine definitely hadn’t also bought for herself while they were away. Despite Aurora only being topside for a short time, she and Sunshine had become fast friends, and quickly more, so it felt like a cruel injustice that they were being separated so soon into their relationship.

Finally, Sunshine turned to Cumulus, who was faring the worst of all at holding in her tears. She always got anxious before tours, and not having the cheery ghoulette next to her on stage to ground her was a change she was apprehensive about.

“Please don’t cry Lulu!” Sunshine wiped Cumulus’ cheek gently with her sleeve. “You’ll be back before you know it!”

“Everything’s going to be different though Sunny, what if the congregation don’t like the changes? What if they don’t like Rory and Tommy?”

“They’re going to love them, and they’re going to love you. Papa won’t let anyone say anything bad, you know how protective he is about his ghouls.”

Cumulus sniffled in acknowledgement, her froth of lavender-scented hair tickling Sunshine’s nose.

“Cheer up, my little stormcloud! You’ll be back before you know it. Take lots of photos for me okay?”

Cumulus nodded sadly, and gave Sunny a wan smile. “Can I have my goodbye kiss now?”

“Of course you can darling.” Sunshine kissed Cumulus sweetly, savouring the softness of her lips.

When they eventually pulled apart, Cirrus was waiting with Cumulus’s shoes to put on.

“Time to go I’m afraid girls, bus call is in ten minutes.”

The mood sombre, the four ghoulettes slumped along the corridor out of the ghoul wing and to the main entrance of the Abbey, Cumulus never letting go of Sunshine’s hand. Swiss and Phantom were already there, the latter almost vibrating in their excitement.

“Mornin’ all. You good to get going? Driver’s already got the side of the bus open for luggage if you want.”

“Thanks Swiss.” said Cirrus, “Any sign of the others yet?”

“Dew and Aether are making out like the world’s ending, Mountain’s making a giant flask of coffee for the road, and Rain���s still packing.”

“So no rush to get going after all then.” Cirrus rolled her eyes, before grabbing her and Cumulus’ suitcases and heading out to the bus with Aurora.

“How’re you holding up, Sunny? Ready for some peace and quiet?” Swiss flashed a toothy grin, but it didn’t reach his eyes, revealing the poorly-masked concern in them.

“Been better.” she shrugged, “I’ve got Aeth to keep me company at least.”

Swiss nodded comfortingly, and held his arms out for a hug. Cumulus finally let go of her hand so Sunshine could be swept into his warm embrace, inhaling the comforting incense and black pepper scent of her first friend topside.

When he finally released her, they could now see Mountain lumbering down the hall, an oversized thermos in one hand and his suitcase in the other. He grunted a greeting to the assembled ghouls, and slouched out to the bus to drop off his bag.

“Good morning, sleeping beauty!” Aurora joked as she passed him coming back into the relative warmth of the Abbey. She soon struck up a conversation with Phantom about what they were looking forward to on their first tour, and where they were looking forward to visiting.

Shortly before Copia’s designated meeting time, the man himself arrived, clutching an even more comically large flask.

“Good morning my ghouls, glad to see you made it at this ungodly hour!” He took a swig of his coffee, shuddering at the taste. Good morning Papa chorused the assembled ghouls. “It seems we are not all here yet though, hmm?”

As he spoke, Rain came trotting down the corridor, suitcase clearly bulging at the seams.

“Good morning!” He chirped, “I’m not late am I?”

“Not the latest.” Swiss rolled his eyes. “Who’s volunteering to go and requisition our blond beauty from The Beast’s chambers?”

Several pairs of eyes shifted to look at Mountain. He huffed out a sound that was bordering on a growl, and slouched off back down the corridor. Not even a minute later, an angry roar echoed back towards the assembled pack, making Copia wince and Swiss and Cirrus chuckle.

Mountain returned dragging a squirming Dew, hissing and spitting furiously like a feral cat, with one arm and an equally mad Aether whose anger was emanating from him in dark wafts with the other. He pulled Dew’s suitcase along behind them with his tail.

“Uh, good morning Dewdrop, Aether. R-right then, everyone onto the bus?” suggested Copia nervously, the ghouls’ infernal anger affecting even the dark Pope himself. Cumulus patted his arm reassuringly and tried to ignore how he flinched at her inhuman touch.

After a final heated kiss, Dewdrop was eventually coerced out of Aether’s arms and onto the bus by Rain and Swiss, closely followed by Mountain and Phantom after saying their own goodbyes to the ghouls remaining behind. That left just the ghoulettes and Aether stood in the entryway.

After each giving Aether – who was still emitting a distressed void-like smoke – a brief hug, the ghoulettes said their final goodbyes to Sunshine.

“I promise to try and live up to your reputation Sunny.” said Aurora. “Gonna make sure the congregation appreciate us ghoulettes just as much as those silly boys and their bickering up front!”

“If anyone can do that, it’s you Rory.” Sunshine smiled. Aurora could command a stage like no ghoul she’d ever seen before. “I can’t wait to see videos!” She hugged the smaller ghoulette tightly, and placed a kiss to her forehead.

“Take care Sunny, we’re so proud of all you’re doing for us and the pack!” Cirrus gave Sunshine a final hug and brief kiss on her cheek, and she immediately felt the tears from earlier pricking at her eyes again. She wouldn’t let them fall this time, she was determined that the ghoulettes not leave for the tour with her tearstained face as the last thing they saw.

Finally Cumulus stepped forward, her tears already falling silently, shining like diamonds on her cheeks. Sunshine kissed them away as they fell.

“Be brave for me little cloud, and I’ll be brave for you”

Cumulus nodded in response, saying all she needed to with her eyes alone. She knew if she tried to speak it would only result in more tears. She pressed one last kiss of her own to Sunshine’s cheek, and pulled away, Cirrus and Aurora each taking one of her hands in theirs.

The trio made their way onto the bus, and Sunshine reached out for Aether’s hand as the doors hissed shut behind them. In the early morning twilight, the faces of their beloved pack were clear as they looked back at them through illuminated windows.

In a chorus of Love You and Good Luck and a flurry of frantic waving, the bus accelerated down the driveway, leaving Sunshine and Aether alone on the front step in the chilly air of the early morning. As it turned a final corner and the last glimmer of headlights vanished from view, Sunshine allowed the tears to fall. Turning into Aether’s arms, she saw he was equally affected.

The pair sobbed in each others arms in the doorway to the Abbey, until the cold forced them back inside. Sunshine couldn’t differentiate the shivers from the sobs at this point. They ended up curled around each other in front of the fire in the common room under one of Cumulus’ crocheted blankets, eventually falling back to sleep and waking up when the embers burned low around midday. They had been granted the day off from all duties ahead of their new roles tomorrow, Sunshine suspected this was Copia’s doing.

They spent the day in a daze, orbiting each other like lost planets. When they eventually decided to settle for the night it was separately; each wanting the solace to absorb the scents of their mates’ nests before it faded completely.

Sunshine slept fitfully, her face buried in a pillow that smelled of Cumulus’ shampoo, the taste of Aurora’s chapstick on her lips and the feel of Cirrus’ silky pyjamas against her body. The hair clip they had gifted her sat on the bedside table, her uniform hung on the wardrobe door. Tomorrow she would start her new job and the pack would have their first Ritual. This was the start of something new, for all of them.
