#how are you dyamond?

[snarky-art]

Worst couple you know

Figuring out some Eraklyon stuff rn

Info on some fashion and cultural notes as well as general outline for where Eraklyon is situationally at the start of my rewrite:)

Tl;dr tho: it’s a hellscape lol

Traditionally feminine clothes have rounder gems.

Traditionally masculine clothes have more angular cut gems.

Red is the color of power so the Emperor must always wear it.

Asymmetry is big in style right now and so are pearls. Jewel and pastel tones are the norm for high fashion and the wealthy with most of the nobility sticking only to jewel tones.

The orange gem present in Erendor’s crown and outfit is their most common jewel on their planet.

Lots of golden and coppery color ores and unique rock types there.

The green gem is cut into an octagon to represent the entire Magical Realm, green for the concept of life energy of other beings. Only the Emperor and next in line for the throne may wear green gems in that cut.

The orange color from their gem is claimed to be a sign The Great Dragon blessed them, and they are above the concept of life, that they are a power all their own. The diamond shape is to represent their rigidity in customs and categorization which they claim has lead them to their (once) great power and expanse over everything, the green octagon included as a sign that they reach to and claim power over all in the 8 realms, the rulers of a mighty empire that will one day encompass everything.

Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out and they only have direct rule of Dyamond and whatever planet I’m having Samara be from (might be Dyamond too, am unsure rn) and have an excellent alliance with Solaria through its Imperialist faction. That’s about it though. They’re considered a Pillar of The Magical Realm because of their industrial prowess but even that is being diminished in its qualifications as magical culture as a whole is redefining what that looks like and means and as other planets are finding more effective or enjoysnle methods for things in ways that aren’t relevant at all to how Eraklyon would go about it. Eraklyon is also trying to push production on mining up through overworking their people to an insane degree and demanding things get done faster and as a result are producing lower quality product. Their whole socioeconomic culture right now is just Late Stage Capitalist Hell Scape.

To top it off, even back when they were still an actively growing empire, Domino was actually trying to get them to stop with using The Great Dragon in the name of their conquests since Domino was starting to work on reparations for the horrors they’d committed in the past right before it fell.

After it’s fall, Eraklyon used that event as a propaganda to say it was proof they were meant to rule after all and that they would be the ones to show The Magical World what needed to be done. Insert an increase in power and claims over planets for about 200 years, and then a steady decline of power followed by a huge dip in the last 150 years.

Eraklyon is a grossly Patriarchal society that holds a lot of views that are directly anti egalitarian in every way it can be in a culture.

A man (very rigid binary structure too with sex and gender being treated as the same thing. Think our current irl world basically. Like our world, the people are getting more and more sick of it, especially since pretty much all the rest of The Magical Realm is like “that’s a really stupid thing to reinforce so harshly and punish people who don’t fit that construct.” More backlash and pushing for it to change from the public, which isn’t vibing with the elites since the government is already in such a precarious position in terms of its power) must rule. A bride must be taken from off planet as a way to strengthen their Empire.

Green is a color of conquest due to its association with The Magical Realm as a whole, so the Empress is always adorned in it since she is a conquest in and of itself. A selection of gems are also chosen by the council of the royal court that they deem suitable for the bride to choose as her identifier when she becomes Empress. Samara was only given green ones to choose from due to the desperate need to try and reinforce strength and power through conquest, which once again she as the bride is a symbol of. Their Empire is basically no more. They are grasping at straws and the bride being used as a propaganda piece is already the norm so it’s whatever they might as well ramp it up. They also tote her red hair as a way to show that The Dragon still favors them, sending her their way, the fire of It present and on display, and even redder than that of the last Queen of Domino. Samara is proof that they can conquer anything, even The Great Dragon, if the people remain loyal to The Crown and The Empire.

Along with The Eraklyon Empire being in ruin, empires themself are very few and overall wildly shunned by the general public, Eraklyon and Solaria being some of the last notable ones, and even then just barely one at all, still using the term as a way to pretend they are still formidable and far reaching in their power.

@trixweek day 3 || Backstory For The Trix

(any confusion, I'm sorry, my English is terrible and I'm using a translator to help me!)

The design of the train is not random, it was on it that they met, locomotive number 007 took them to a destination that they do not regret going to. I will now tell you everything I have ready about their past.

��️|| Dyamond's battle stories were forgotten, as was his kingdom, shortly after the fall of the Crystalline empire, the last remaining royal family. But before that, the kingdom was beautiful, similar to the Earth countries Norway and Finland, and it was possible to notice the northern lights that formed in the neighboring kingdom that was actually dead (That's another story). Icy was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, being the heir to the throne chosen by her mother and father, despite their preference for a boy, but they didn't have much choice. By tradition, the royal family had names based on the crystal guide, so her mother was called Rubellita and her "grandfather" Berilo, the only ones who didn't have crystal names were her father Kidan, and her grandmother Calix Eris. Icy awakened her powers at the age of 3, and was quickly placed in classes to perfect her ice powers, to become a perfect fairy. Influenced by her grandmother, who always carried a staff with a large blue crystal on the tip, Icy began to study her witch side, with the full support of Calix, who was also a powerful witch. The staff was not only the only mystery surrounding Queen Calix, it was the main name on the list of suspects of who could have killed King Beryl, and of course, the strange man who always appeared at the castle to see the queen, Icy always liked him more than her "grandfather". For unknown reasons, the Queen fell ill, and in her last moments she spent with Icy giving her the last advice and showing affection. After that, it became even more difficult for her to study black magic, and unfortunately she ended up being discovered. But why were witches always portrayed with so much hate? Her grandmother was a witch! "It's not fair..." she thought before receiving her punishment. In Dyamond, witches always received the same painful and sometimes deadly punishment, and this was the punishment given to Icy, "how many lashes did it take to kill someone?" Well, she found out, but by some miracle she survived, or because her mother and father didn't want to have another child. Regardless of the reason, Icy decided to run away, she had no more reasons to stay. When she recovered enough, she decided to run away, being only 13 years old. It seemed like an impulsive decision, but the home she lived in was all flawed, she barely saw her parents because of the routine and affection didn't seem necessary for them. She was lucky with this decision, at the same moment she walked away from the houses she saw the shadow of a woman pass by her, heading towards the castle, it didn't seem like an important detail until she heard the war that was forming inside and outside the castle, she observed just enough before entering the teleportation portal used by the surrounding kingdoms.

🔮|| Darcy was born in the capital of the magical dimension, in a comfortable apartment in a region close to the center, and in a middle-class family it was not a complete luxury, but there was enough for her. Her father, Demetrius, was a librarian who was quite satisfied with his reality. Her mother, Carmen, was a secretary and a big bitch. Darcy, like every witch, awakened her powers at the age of 3, and when she reached the right age, she went to a school specialized in black magic, her dark and illusory magic were the traits she took from her father, but her appearance was the same as her mother (Except for her nose, she loves her nose, it was the same as Demetrius's). An unfortunate flaw in Darcy's life was her mother, who constantly left her father to have relationships with richer and sometimes much older men, these affairs lasted for months but unfortunately she always came back, a typical narcissist. Darcy, despite being young, could understand the pain her father felt every time this happened. It hurt the way they were discarded as if they were nothing. She could see the depression that hit her father. On one of those days when Carmen "escaped", Darcy approached her father. "Is she going to leave?" "Yes, my love, but she will come back." "But I don't want her to come back." Darcy doesn't know, but that was what made her father realize that it wasn't fair to bring his daughter into this sea of ​​confusion. That's why, during the months that Carmen was away enjoying her new extramarital affair, Demetrio was preparing for divorce. And when he asked for it, it had a big impact on Darcy's life. She had never been in a courtroom and felt the pressure of the place. She reluctantly waited for the judge to decide who she would stay with. Luckily, she had the opportunity to choose, and she stayed with her father. With shared custody, she had the privilege of having more time with her father than with her mother, who almost never saw her. His father continued his life more peacefully, getting his first tattoo after the divorce and a few months later marrying the tattoo artist, Rebeca, who was the true representation of the mother that Darcy had throughout his life.

⚡|| (Here I'm going to censor a lot of things) Stormy was born in a region considered poor in Linphea, her mother was Lightning, a sweet but vulnerable woman, life was never fair to Stormy, to begin with, she was the result of abuse caused by Lightning's husband's friend, she was a weak witch and her husband... how can we say? He was scary, a real monster in human skin, even though he didn't have much power he was aggressive and out of control. The neighborhood where our little Stormy lived was a very dangerous neighborhood because of so many wizards and witches, always fighting for territory and there were always fights. The only good memories she has of her home were when her mother would turn on a small old radio in the kitchen and dance with her. Other than that, there was nothing she liked, it was a struggle every day to survive, her mother locked her in the small kitchen cupboard so that her drunk husband and his friends wouldn't hurt her, she always saw marks of physical aggression on her mother, only through her efforts she didn't always escape the beatings of her father or her schoolmates. When her mother could work in the central region of Linphea, she would leave Stormy in the Linphea park, where there were other children, but the children are also bad, so she was known for being an aggressive child. Oddly enough, she managed to get her best friend, Hélia, who was a shy and reserved child, still didn't seem to understand why Stormy didn't make fun of him for reading books instead of playing ball, until he realized that she couldn't read. Little by little, she became more outgoing around him, and her favorite game involved climbing on his back to climb trees. It was this game that led her to enter the house of a new boy who had moved in, Danilo, a chubby boy who was also an outcast. They and her mother were Stormy's friends, but the main thing was taken away from her. One morning, Stormy was hiding in her room listening to another fight. She knew the reason, but she preferred to forget it. Until she began to hear the man's screams getting louder, more agonizing, and then silence. She couldn't hear anything else... She left the room just to see what had happened and found her mother kneeling next to the man's body. She had reached her limit. It was scary, her mother's painful smile, seeing her covered in blood approaching was terrifying. Even so, Stormy ran to hug her. Deep down, she knew what was going to happen next. "Mommy loves you very much, okay?" Lightning said, caressing her daughter's face, staining it with blood, "No matter what happens, I love you." She said before taking her own life. Stormy doesn't remember what happened after that, nor does she remember how she got to Helia's door, but she collapsed while he tried to comfort her, only then awakening her powers at the age of 10, amidst anger and despair. It would be an empty funeral if it weren't for Stormy and the other two children who were accompanied by their parents, the tombstone was now her safest point, she knew she could always return to that cemetery and talk to her mother, even if it was painful every time. After the funeral, she picked up the small suitcase, thanking Helia's parents for the attention they gave her in that short time, and saying goodbye to Helia and Danilo, before getting on the 007 locomotive.

[beezonia]

wanted to ramble about the trix for a bit since I haven’t shared anything to do with my rewrite atm

——-

The Trix aren’t biological siblings, they have extremely close bonds with each other though

It helps amplify their magic since the three of them are part of their own coven (coven of albasté - Albasté is the little village in Domino the ancestral witches came from)

So if one is weak or has lost their strength, then the others become slightly weaker since their magic is connected

——-

Icy - 18 (when we first meet the trix in the rewrite they are in their second year at cloud tower) she’s also a December baby

Full Name - Irida Chione Staltican

Witch of Winter (a walking snowstorm basically)

Dyamond in my rewrite is technically a small planet near Zenith hence why it’s always so cold and blizzard like there

She is the only surviving member of the royal family (much like bloom, foils anyone? But unfortunately much like musa she suffers the fate of not being able to see them again)

She can be pretty standoffish, a bit of a bitch and Icy will probably seem like an asshole to those who aren’t close to her or just don’t know her

There’s a reason for this (she’s cursed to not form emotional attachments because of her role as head witch of the coven she’s only bonded with her sisters)

but to her sisters she’s fiercely protective, always teasing then in her usual Icy way

Icy is loyal to a fault even if she shows it by barking orders and scolding her sisters

But she’s fighting for them so they can get their happy ending, so that their dreams of becoming the most powerful witches the magic dimension has ever seen come true

Biggest Lesbian on earth (sorry not sorry tritanus)

—-

Darcy - 19

(Darcy is a February baby she’s the eldest but the role of head witch went to Icy because the ancestral witches saw more potential in her then the other two)

Full name - Darcy Eris Belinaro 

Witch of illusions (Lady of Darkness is a moniker she goes by on Solaria)

Yeah she’s technically a Selenite, born in the small town of Nox. Darcy showed immense strength and potential at the young age of 12 when her magic of illusion was awakened

And so her Mother, Lillith taught Darcy every she needed to know, prepping her for when she’d fulfil her destiny as the ancestral witch’s successor

Darcy is a natural liar, a well known manipulator too.

Literally has most of the witches at cloud tower under her thumb because either she’s manipulating them or they’re afraid of her

Oh yeah she’s aroace btw (it’s an important part of her story when she discovers a lot more about herself when she returns to Nox)

She is fun to be around once you get to know her, a literal mother hen towards her sisters

——

Stormy - 18 (Stormy my lovely October baby)

Full name - Seraphine “Stormy” Opheric

Witch of storms

Born in the small coastal town of Tiderius, north of the Andros capital city Azul

Stormy was always a wild child, she never cared about consequences, never cared about punishment

until her older brother (Draco) got arrested for a crime he didn’t commit

Stormy became obsessed with each planets law and rules wanting justice for her brother and a way to find loopholes in every little rule they could come up with

(She got so angry one day looking at how unfair some governments were that she caused her towns power to go out for a good day or two)

Stormy is an absolute blast to be around, sure she can be pushy and convince you to do bad things that could potentially get you in prison for life

But she’s party animal at heart, she drinks and gets so rowdy that Darcy swears she’s started half of the fights that have broken out in cloud tower

Stormy denies the accusation each and every time (she gets so drunk she can’t really remember)

Just be careful around her, you don’t wanna become her drinking buddy or her lapdog

———

That’s the main overview of the trix, I’ll gladly answer any questions you have about them!

[ohdragonflyohdragonburnthemdown]

Dyamond and Zenith

Let' do this. 

Dyamond

Dyamond was the original name for the planet now known as Zenith. (At one point I am going to do a timeline with ruff dates and everything) It was an OLD planet with very powerful magic users and traditions.

Most importantly it was a witch planet. Which means the primary magic that Dyamond produced was dark magic. This includes dark fairies, but that is a topic that will be discussed later on. Here I will add that dark ≠ evil. Just so we're clear!

- Magic

So Dyamond is a witch planet that produces incredibly powerful ice and scrying magic users. I am going with my personal associations here: 

Ice stand for clarity and preservation as well as coldness and rationality. Something that can be found in Zenith too. This meant that Dymond was well known for having Elemental magic users, whose primary focus was ice and water as well as blizzards, but also those with a talent for understanding magic. Which in turn created Dyamonds secondary speciality:

Scrying. As in seeing the future and the present and the past. It also means they were well known to be primary healers, who could identify any possible magical illness simply by looking at them. (And then send the person over to the people who are qualified to actually heal them of it.) This scrying ability also came in handy when someone wanted something to be identified or to know if something they own has been cursed.

- the Fall

So Dyamond was a witch planet but it was the first everyone thought of if something was suspect or someone got ill. Like I said dark ≠ evil. It was a well respected planet and also a bit of an outlier. You see Dyamond produced its own magic. A lot of it too, compared to the rest of its ring and even the next ring. Dyamond, when it came to the production of magic, was on par with Lynphea, two Rings over.

This is what many people now think caused the death of Dyamond. It naturally produced magic and the amount of magic that the Golden Kingdom was adding into the planet's core overloaded the planet and caused it to die of an overdose. 

Some people like to argue that the "good magic" of the Golden Kingdom killed the "dark magic" of Dyamond. This has been rebuffed as the Magic of the Golden Kingdom is truly neutral magic and simply boosts the magic core of planets. But more to that later on.

The resulting empty core created a series of natural disasters that slowly but steadily killed the population of Daymond through temperatures not even the ice magic users could survive. So a large part of the population was forced to leave the planet. Those who couldn't flee (be it due to isolation, illness or it simply being too late) died on the planet. 

Which is where the saying magic comes back into play. Many of those who remained connected to the planet's core, which meant they died connected to the magical core of Dyamond. 

Many scholars suspect that this is how Mother was created. The core of Dyamond reached out in its last moments to protect itself and those who remained, turning it into the spark that later on created Zenith.

- After

It takes about six centuries for the planet to stabilize itself and another three to make it possible for people to set foot onto its surface again. In that time the people of Dyamond did not move far from their home. They inhabit the moons of Dyamond and create space stations and technology that would allow them to monitor their home so they could return the moment the magic stabilizes. (Which they did)

Zenith

During the first half of those 900 years the people of Dyamond got the nickname "Those on the zenith" Since they lived over their own planet, quite literally on the zenith. Which then developed into "Zenithians" in the later half. 

When they finally could step back onto their planet it became clear quickly that Dyamond was no more. The magic of the core had changed, it was no longer dark magic heavy, but much more neutral. The eco system had changed extremely which new fauna and flora along the familiar one and all the infrastructure completely destroyed.

So they held onto the technology and techno magic they developed over the last millennia to survive and rebuild. 

They renamed the planet Zenith as a nod to their changed lifestyle and that they assumed that the worst is over. 

- Inbalance

They were wrong. You see Dyamond produced a lot of its own magic. Something that Zenith is no longer able to do in the same quantity and the additional magic of the Golden kingdom is neutral magic.

This means that the core of the planet is bigger than the amount of magic in it. Additionally the magic inside of the core is no longer dark magic. It's neutral magic. It's less harsh and cold. Like Zenith is still cold as HELL (think Norway) but it's no longer the cold of Dyamond (South/North Pole). 

You can guess where this is going...

Zenith started to warm up. Which means that the ice radiating with Dyamonds magic started melting. Slowly killing the remaining fauna and flora. This in turn further destabilizes the planet causing the core to compensate with more neutral magic. Which quickens the whole thing even more.

Basically Zenith is trapped in a cycle of dropping temperatures due to a changing core which is linked to the melting ice, that is linked to the dropping temperatures. 

Now, most people in the magical dimension only know Zenith as the technology planet. Which developed both from the need to monitor their planet in hopes of returning and survival. The worse their climate change got the more the technological development was pushed in hopes of finding a solution for their climate problem. 

Which they kind of did. Many species of fauna and flora could be preserved either in special habitats that are a mix of technology and magic. They also managed to slow down the warm up by creating artificial freezers that are both in the atmosphere and on the planet (land and sea) Which slows everything down, but it's still going dangerously fast. 

- Magic

As for Zenith's magic. While the primary focus is now on technomagic, the old magic isn't lost. Both in the kinds of magic used on the planet and the magic users. 

Fairies are ridiculously rare on Zenith, while other magic users like sorcerers and witches are much much more common.

Ice and scrying magic is still really common too. It's a pretty even split between the different kinds of magic.

----------

This is it for Dyamond/Zenith lore. Maybe I am going to go into detail on Icy and what exactly she has done at a later point. But that's magical lore😂.

So if you have questions. Hit me up!

[princess-of-the-corner]

Since we had a Bloom post, might as well: what were the reactions to the Icy Reveal from the wider cast, and who learned what and when?

Okay so there's two kinda halves of this which is people learning about her mom vs. people learning about her dad.

Also for simplicity: Mom's name is Blizzeta, Dad's name is Inverno. Also for simplicity is a short rundown on them for anyone who's new/hasn't been down the tags.

Blizzeta kinda replaces the 'Ancestral Witches', as she's not like. Some ancient deity. She's just a normal, though powerful, Witch. And lead a group of other powerful beings in a quest to become even more powerful and rule over everyone.

Inverno is currently King of Dyamond. In my rewrite it's actually not a cursed planet at all, it's just snowy like that. His current wife is Crystal, and they have a daughter named Sapphire.

So who learns what when:

Icy herself always knew about her mother. She's aware of the legacy and was in an environment that made her feel that she had to finish what she started.

Icy tells Darcy and Stormy some time during their years at Cloud Tower. Like when they've bonded and she trusts them enough to let them in on her secrets and plan their future together of finishing what was started.

Most of the Winx and Specialists find out when they take that trip to Domino at the end of Season 1. Because uh. I kinda made this episode very dark in both the fact that I'm keeping most of the population dead, but also because of the eternal winter curse the bodies are still there and preserved quite well.

Anyway they get to see Blizzeta's preserved body and she and Icy look almost just alike so it's easy to connect the dots for them.

Which also kinda connects the dots of 'oh so that's why she's Like That™' even if they don't have the whole picture.

Not sure when the members who weren't in Season 1 find out.

Now there's no reveals up until Season 3 with Inverno.

Because Icy never knew exactly who her father was. She has vague memories of stuff her mom told her when she was very little, but she was literally a toddler it's fuzzy.

Anyway!

During Season 3 the plots include 1.) Bloom trying to figure out ways to fix Domino, and 2.) Icy low-key stalking Bloom to cause problems. So when Bloom goes to Dyamond hoping on a planet of snow and ice would know how to dispel a blizzard, Icy followed.

Icy gets temporarily captured during the events here, which involves her meeting Inverno. He sees her, clocks the whole 'ah shit Blizzeta's her mom...... oh FUCK she's my kid???' thing. Icy is both shocked but also like. It makes enough sense that she doesn't question it. She can see the family resemblance. She remembers some things her mom said that now make sense. She can tell that her mother likely intended to use this connection, but didn't get the chance.

At least Bloom is here during that conversation(idk if the others are or if they're all kinda off on their own more this season.). And she's.... so unsure what to think of it but hey she- she knows what it's like to suddenly find out you have a royal bloodline and all so she Gets It™ in a way. But also like. Girl are you okay?

Sapphire is listening in on the conversation because she's a curious little fucker. While she's not like, a baby. She's still a good bit younger and really is only thinking about the fact that she has a sister now.

The rest of the Winx+ would find out after Bloom reunites with them and updates them on that hot mess. And yeah there's a bit of concern on it because Icy is.... hasn't fully hit the 'dragged to the good side' bit (this is what really kicks it off for her), so they're mostly concerned with what she'll do about it. Also the other Royals are spitballing on what exactly Blizzeta's plan had been re: making Icy.

[ghostsprobably]

Hello sorry for the inconvenience I just wanted a clarification on your winx au to understand how you place the realms

No inconvenience i'm sorry it took me so long to answer this!!!!!

I've posted the map I made a couple of times but i never really went that in depth about what i did to the places themselves. Well I mean I did but that's in a notebook somewhere and didn't ever actually get posted lmao sorryyyy

Okay so! I'm going to try formatting it as straight forward as I can, but it's still gonna be long as hell. Also there's some things I can't quite remember so I'll come back and update this when I find them in that notebook

Earth - Regular Earth where we live

Magix - The name of the planet where everyone that isn't from earth lives; It is very similar to earth in every way other than having magic; I might have people from this planet be called magicians, alongside people from earth being called earthlings.

COUNTRIES

Solaria - One of the major world super powers of Magix. A massive kingdom with happy citizens and generally good quality of life. Capital is Soletres which sits along the coastline of a massive bay, the capital city is surrounded by desert as you leave the coast. The south most shore is quite marshy and the northern most border is mountains, with lots of different kinds of terrain in between. Though King Radius and Former Queen Luna divorced many years ago, Luna is still a prominent figure in politics. Princess Stella is a beloved icon of her people.

Eraklyon - Another major super power. Shares some of its western border with Solaria and extends east to the coast. A very mountainous country, with some areas of plains to the south. Capital is ________. Quite a different vibe from Solaria, Eraklyon is heavily militarized with a sizable class divide. Much of the country lives in poverty. King Erendor and Queen Samara are proud, stubborn rulers (and parents). Prince Sky is largely a mystery to the public.

Andros - Though not quite as enormous as the last two, still quite a powerful kingdom as they are rich in resources. Also in control of Lightrock Penitentiary, a highly secure prison on an small island to the north. The main island of Andros was created by a massive, now extinct volcano. The bowl is now an enormous lake that is connected to the ocean via giant rivers and canals, this is where the capital city, _________, is located. Andros is a semi aquatic kingdom, a merge of two civilizations that were once at war, and as such there is a secondary royal family that resides off the coast of the main island. They are secondary in power to the main royal family, comprised of King Neptune, Queen Ligea, and Princess Aisha.

Dominoe - By the time of our story, this kingdom has long since fallen. All that remains of this once flourishing nation is abandoned ruins nestled in the snowy mountains north of Eraklyon. After the fall of Dominoe, Eraklyon actually tried to take over it's territory, but found the landscape to be far too harsh to settle. The captial city of Sparks is now a ghost town, or is it?

CITIES

Linphea - A very small city in the forests of Solaria. Populated by both civilians and acolytes as this city is the location of the Sacred Garden of the Mother Dragon. It is said to be where she first landed on Magix and is a holy site full of secrets.

Melody - A destination city in the south of Solaria. A cultural hub filled to the brim with tourists. This bustling city is always buzzing with passion, and it's where Musa's parents met and she was born.

Zenith - A densely packed city in the north west of Eraklyon, just within its border with Alfea and close to Red Fountain. This city is a hot spot for tech and engineering. Despite being a bustling city that never sleeps, this is ironically one of the more socially relaxed parts of Eraklyon, and people are a lot more welcoming here than other parts of the country.

Dyamond - This is a spoiler!

Gardenia - Bloom's hometown on earth, now located just outside of New York City because that's the area I'm familiar with and that'll make it a lot easier for me to write for.

OTHER

Alfea - Elite fairy College north of Linphea, near the Solarian border with Eraklyon but on the Solarian side.

Cloud Tower - College for witches just north of Solaria's border in a small country I don't have a name for yet, and to the west of Alfea. One of the few schools for witches across Magix, allegedly where the practice was founded.

Red Fountain - Military academy to the east of Alfea, past the border into Eraklyon.

Lightrock Penitentiary - a highly secure prison on an small island to the north of the main island of Andros

Light Hope Monastery - Home to peaceful monks who tend to the island on which Lightrock Penitentiary is located. Sometimes prisoners with excellent behavior can be granted a sort of parole and allowed to live amongst the monks. It is also kind of like rehab.

Omega Penitentiary - the most brutal prison in all of magix, where the worst magical offenders of all time are kept in crystalline prisons designed by the Great Dragon herself.

I think that's just about everything I've cooked up so far!!

Her Summer Will Come

Note: Based on this reddit discussion

Summary: Icy only remembers what happened to Dyamond in bits and pieces. Flora brings those memories to the surface. Icy dreads who she might become if she lets the past back in.

Pairing: Icy/Flora

It has been quite a long time since she has had flowers in her hair. She hasn’t worn a crown of flowers not since…

Icy stares off, fixes her gaze on a vivid blue sky teeming with fluffy white clouds. Now and then a gust will make its way through and throw pretty pink petals into the air, shaken from apple blossom trees. 

Pink is not her color.

Pink is Flora's color.

Flora weaves another flower into her white-blue locks. It doesn't suit her at all. Perhaos in another era, another lifetime it would have. Perhaps when her hair had been that dusty blonde color and her magic had been summer.

Sunflowers, she remembers, it used to be sunflowers. Sometimes ticketed and marigold. 

Her mother and father would decorate her hair and her dresses with them. Her mother and father…autumn and springtime. Sapphire…winter. They liked to tuck snowballs into her hair when she'd let them.

She tries not to think of them.

When she thinks of them, she misses them terribly.

When she misses them terribly, she feels weak and pathetic.

Those are two emotions that she vowed to never feel again after her summer magic cooled to the chill of autumn and then the deep frost of winter.

When Icy became Icy and the girl that she used to be died. She doesn't Remer what they used to call her. There was Sapphire and her older sister. What the name of Sapphire's older sister? Icy can't remember. She doesn't think that she wants to. Her parents had been Citrine and Moss Agate. But who was she?

It is best to not think about it.

Flora reaches across the picnic blanket and over their picnic basket. She takes Icy's frigid hands and weaves their fingers together. 

Her touch is always so warm. Warm like the springtime. She smells like springtime. Like lilac and lily and apple blossom. Like grass newly cut. 

It reminds her of her father. She can't put a face to the name Moss Agate anymore but she remembers how it felt to hear his voice. Remembers how it felt to have him scoop she and Sapphire into his arms and twirl them around.

She had been a happy child, she thinks.

And then it had been taken.

She won't let those memories back in, they torment her.  

“I think that this was a nice picnic.” Flora comments.

Strawberries, watermelons, and other fresh fruits. Lemonade with clinking ice cubes. It isn't exactly her taste but it wasn't a bad lunch.

It tickles some part of her mind.

It reminds her of home.

It reminds her of when she was summer.

Icy sighs and lays down. Her hair fans out around her. It has been quite some time since she has worn her hair loose.

Flora has her doing a lot of things that she hasn't done in a long time. Feeling a lot of things that she hasn't felt in ages.

Things that she is nervous to feel.  

Things that a witch ought not to feel.

She doesn't want to feel the things that she does. If she lets these feelings back in she won't be able to keep them in check. If she lets them back in then what will become of her magic? If witch magic is powered by distress and dark thoughts and fairy magic is fueled by hope, love, and joy…

She has been so angry, so hurt, and so miserable for so long.

Her magic won't be the same.

She won't be the same.

And then what will happen to her sisters?

“You're doing it again.” Flora remarks. She rests a hand on Icy's knee. The wind ruffles the fairy's strawberry-print dress.

“Doing what?”

“Overthinking.”

“It's a habit.”

Flora nods. “Not a helpful one.”

“I'm not a helpful person.”

“You can be though.” Flora lays down next to her and holds a hand over her chest. “You're a good person. Deep down,I know that you are.”

Icy's stomach flutters. That is precisely what she is fretting over. “I shouldn't be. I don't want to be.” 

“Why not? Whats wrong with letting yourself…evolve?”

People take advantage of her. She remembers it now. They intimidated her. Sapphire had more spine and guts that she did. And for her weakness and anxiety, her kingdom had fallen.

If she lets joy and affection back in then the door is open for anxiety and the kind of weakness she can't afford. “I don't want to lose Darcy and Stormy.” She says instead. It is an easier, simpler way of putting words to a complex tangle of thoughts and emotions that she can't quite grasp for herself.

“They won't leave you. They're your friends.”

“You don’t know how witch friendships work.”

Flora hums, tapping her fingers against Icy's chest, upon the snowflake that she has tattooed there. “They're fiercely loyal and very close. They just act all tough about it. Those two have known you fir such a lo g time, they won't leave you.”

“But what if they do?” There it is. That horrid anxiety that puts a tightness in her chest. “I can't lose them.” They aren't all that she has, not anymore, now that she has this thing with Flora. But they mean too much to her. Her chest constrict that much more. She cares about them. She…loves them. 

Flora squeezes her hand. “Did they leave you after they found out about us?”

Icy shakes her head.

Flora's hand cups her cheek. “They won't leave you. You'll still be you even if you magic changes.”

But she wasn't herself the first time that she changed.

“I don't think that I will be.”

“Why do you say that?” Flora furrows her brows.”

“Because I wasn't the same the first time.” And so it all comes out. The tale of a princess whose home frosted over. Dyamond, the planet of seasons, locked within a perpetual winter be ause their princess was too afraid to fight for them. The tale of a witch who fell prey to power lust when she finally acquired the power to mend her kingdom. 

And she remembers. It all floods back in. The bedtime stories and lullabies. The garden of crystal flowers and the elegant seasonal masquerades.

She removers sweltering summer magic rippling golden from her hands.

She misses it so terribly but she has grown to love her winter. 

She is Icy.

She is winter.

She was…what was her name?

She was summer.

She was meant to be the summer to Sapphire's winter.

Flora kisses her cheek and she swallows hard. Because she no longer knows who she is. Who she wants to be. She is somewhere caught between winter and summer. Between Icy and that other person.

So does that make her springtime?

The apple blossoms in her hair rustle. The ribbons in her hair flutter.

Flora tells her that her springtime will come eventually, that it might already be here and then her summer will come again.

And she dreads the day that it does.

Because who will she be?

Who is Icy without her winter.

She would be Carnelian 

Yes. That was her name.

Carnelian

She is Icy and she is Carnelian. Her summer will come again and it will go. And her winter will return.

Yes, she remembers now…

Her powers are fluid, ever changing, ever shifting until she wills them to settle.

She is Icy and she is Carnelian

Trix on your rewrite?

Thank you so much for this ask! I'm actually so sorry it has taken me this long to answer, but I am my own worst critic and couldn't come up with an answer until now that I was satisfied with. I'm still not totally satisfied with this, but I'd rather just rip off the bandaid with this at this point so it's not proofread or anything. Enjoy!

(cut bc it got long)

Icy was once the second princess of Dyamond. Her childhood was pretty normal by princess standards until she was 7, when a cataclysmic magical storm swept through the world and destroyed everything and everyone in its path, leaving only her. 

While stumbling around the ruins of her castle, she came across Mandragora. Icy panicked and shot a magic blast at Mandragora which she very easily deflected. There was a silent stand-off for a while between the two while the Ancestral Witches debated on what to do about the situation, shocked that anyone had been able to survive their storm, much less a child. Tharma thought they should just kill Icy, tying up their loose end, and be done with it. Belladonna believed they could use Icy to get what they needed and then they could leave her to die. Liliss pointed out that the only pawn they had was Mandragora who was in fact a known war criminal and that having a pawn so young, impressionable and unrelated to them could prove to be useful. Tharma got outvoted and it was decided that Icy could live. 

It was explained to Icy (in child terms) that Mandragora was trying to find the person who caused the storm and that if Icy came with them and followed the Witches’ orders they would help her get revenge. They generally exploited the fact that Icy was a child in an extremely vulnerable emotional state. Icy agreed and picked up witchcraft without too much trouble, meeting Darcy and Stormy years down the line when she was 13 and 14 respectively. 

Icy’s magic is incredibly strong, with her having the most experience and the one with the strongest negative feelings backing it as well as a lot of one on one training from the Ancestral Witches.

In terms of her role in the group, she’s the leader. She always has a plan and can keep her cool in nearly any situation in spite of her temper. While she wasn’t much like this as a child, Icy has grown to be incredibly cold and ruthless. She genuinely cares about her sisters, but if she needed to sacrifice them to achieve her goals and couldn’t find another way, she would do it. Beyond her sisters, she doesn’t really care for anyone and usually only keeps them around for as useful as they can be to her. Between her and her only, she’s got really bad attachment issues and kinda clings to people like life rafts. 

Icy is the only one of the Trix that knew anything about Darkar before he gets his big reveal, though she only really knew that he was more powerful than the Ancestral Witches.

I'm also debating as of right now whether I should make Icy have albinism.

Darcy was the middle child of the wealthy D���Arcy family on Fallot. She spent most of her childhood being routinely ignored and disregarded and learned to use this to her advantage. She taught herself how subtly manipulate people and blend into the background even more allowing her to get away with a lot of questionable things. Eventually she picked up witchcraft and found she had quite the affinity for it (repressed feelings of loneliness and anger helped immensely with that), and spent a lot more of her time practising it growing to be quite proficient for someone her age. Her family found out and, with witch discrimination running rampant across the Magic Dimension (in spite of Griffin’s best efforts), her family forced her to give it up. Darcy naturally didn’t take too kindly to this and made the choice to leave at the age of 12. Her family didn’t notice for nearly 2 days. 

Darcy went around a month before she met Icy and very quickly convinced her that she should be allowed to join. Mandragora was not happy to have to keep an eye on another child but relented after Liliss claimed that Darcy could prove to be a powerful witch if given the right push.

In terms of her relationship with the rest of the group, Darcy is the one with the spellbook. She is incredibly people-smart and intuitive. She has trained herself to be able to sense others’ magic in both strength and type allowing her to pick up large advantages in battles when it comes to bluffing, though she has never been one to like actual combat. Darcy prefers manipulating her target or distracting them with her illusions and isn’t that good at taking a direct hit. She also tends to panic in high-stress situations or when things don’t go immediately right resulting in her overthinking. Darcy is also a horrible actor in spite of her incredible manipulation and lying skills thanks to her tendency to panic. 

Darcy genuinely looks up to both Icy and Stormy. On bad days she’s convinced that they could do everything without her and if she didn’t push herself constantly to keep up they would drop her. The rational side of her knows this simply isn’t true, they’re sisters and all bring something special and important to the coven, but the lingering thought eats at her. She’s terrified of being alone, unseen and unheard again.

Stormy was kind of a fucked up kid. She wasn’t evil ya know but it was that whole situation of looking after a “problem child” and just giving up on them because they’re struggling in a way adults don’t understand and lashing out. Eventually, after years of this treatment, Stormy had given up on the adults in her life and decided to strike out on her own at the ripe old age of 10. She was on her own for 3 years, travelling across the magic dimension, when, at 13, she encountered Darcy and Icy. She demanded to join their duo and the two were immediately against it, thinking she would only be a detriment to them and that they were far better off as two. Stormy started following them around in spite of their refusal and after they got into a bit of a pickle, she saved their lives. Icy and Darcy persuaded Mandragora to let Stormy stick with them, believing that Mandragora relented because of their expert convincing skills, though in all actuality it was due to Tharma taking an immediate liking to Stormy’s chaotic attitude.

Stormy, when Icy and Darcy first met her, gave off the impression of the character who’s the comedy relief with a dark secret, except she doesn’t really keep the dark parts a secret. Stormy was the first of the group to kill someone and she did it before she even joined them. She made money mostly by beating people up and stealing it, though when she wasn’t in the mood for a fight she would instead dance and entertain along busy streets. She ended up being quite the dancer, even making money off challenging professionals.

Stormy is the most adaptable of the group and tends to be able to go with the flow incredibly well thanks to how quickly she had to adapt and learn as a child. She’s the tank of the group, coming in with maybe not the most precise attacks but definitely the most deadly and destructive, and definitely doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty and fighting without magic. Out of all 3 of the girls, Stormy has the most magical stamina from all the intense dancing workouts she does nearly daily. This workout can get on the other girls’ nerves since she does it at all hours, but since it makes Stormy happy and ensures their heavy-hitter can continue beating the shit out of people they don’t bother her about it.

Stormy is incredibly confident in herself and words rarely ever hurt. She has no problem hurting others if she thinks it’ll be fun, though she struggles to find that point in which things have gone too far which can often lead to things blowing up in her face. This can happen with the Trix too, Stormy pulling a prank that she takes too far and She doesn’t have a lot of clear memories left from her childhood before being on the road and joining the Trix, however she can still remember how it felt before she ran. Over the years Stormy has grown very apathetic towards things, only really caring if she can cause chaos in some way, though her temper has not improved since she was young and continues to be very short. While a short temper isn't usually great, Stormy actually couldn't perform any strong magic without it since witchcraft relies so heavily on negative feelings.

Also, their names weren't originally Icy, Darcy and Stormy but their old names aren't really of relevance so I'm not including them. Just figured that was worth clarifying.

I’ll throw a vote for BTC into the ring! Mostly because I quite enjoyed the opening chapter (but also because it saves me from caving and watching the later seasons in order to read your other fics 😅). Also, think of the delightful chaos if somehow you updated BTC, I updated BTS, and BloomValyria updated Broken Pieces on the same day! We could break an entire fandom 😈

P.S. Glad that your dog is doing well!

Ok but seriously coordinating updates would be hilarious we should do that

THE TALLY NOW STANDS:

What We Do - 3 Ashes - 3 Break the Chain - 1

I can't blame anyone for not wanting to watch the later seasons. I will say though, people can probably just know S1-3 and still enjoy Roll Here In Our Ashes. There's basically no Nickbow information in it, and the most talked about S8 plot point involves Icy and Dyamond, which people involved in the fandom have probably heard through chatter by now. Though now I'm curious how many people read it that haven't watched S8.

What We Do, though...I can't talk you into that. That's fair. And I can't in good conscious recommend anyone watch those seasons. Or, not sober, at least.

[drops-of-moonlights]

How does the movement from one planet to another work? There are galactic passports or something. Also is every realm that is on a planet a country or a continent?

Yeah basically you have to get a passport to be able to move between planets, which is different from a regular passport that lets you move between realms. It's basically customary to have the system-wide one tho, as most people are expected and encouraged to visit the other planets at least once. Yes, this causes infinite headaches once Earth gets added into the group chat, so to speak. As for the realms, SOME of them are fully a continent, some are just countries? like Pyros in Solenei is basically a full continent, same for Dasos in Antocea, but for the most part most realms share a continent. The ancient empire of Okeana was also considered both a realm and a continent but since the split they're just a continent housing 3 realms now. Since this was never mentioned anywhere else, you get the names of the continents!

Solenei - Dryucone (houses Scintil, Dyamond, Recrentia, Aletene, Eraklyon, Solaria and Quarzis), Pyros and Feniria (houses Callisto, Serenia and Frodeile)

Antocea - Okeana (houses Andros, Mareia and Salett), Dasos and Naurez (houses Espero, Lynphea, Dolona and Sophoros)

Daumme - Geleid (houses Zenith, Hoggar and Romulea), Graynor, Harmoe (Melodeus and Lacre), and Palilap (Ohm and Oppositus)

The assasin recognize the girl dressed in a green Chinese hanfu. She bow to the Heylin Princess, which she usually does. It is a habit ever since she was young. Chinatsu narrowed her eyes at the assassin, signalling her to drop the formalities.

Green - The abundance and growth. Just like the Heylin Princess. Chinatsu have grown to become a perfection every warriors ever wanted in a leader. Cool and analytical. The assassin, she too is in green. However, she is not worthy of that colored.

The assasin put down her hoodie, letting her hair down, showing off her neon-green hair with green highlights both bangs and at the tips of her hair.

“The assassination is a success, Lady Chinatsu.” Said the assassin. “How was your diplomacy meeting with Prince Snowden at Dyamond?”

“Excellent and it is satisfying, thanks you sister. The procedures are completed and we now have another source of finance. Although…. It must have a limit, otherwise certain people will figures it out.”

The assassin, Munchausen put her head down, eyes are not looking down on Chinatsu.

“Other than I complete commissions to kill and steal. I suppose we could ask a man called Billy Billions to be our financial backer too. It was Ariel whose suggest this to me on the day he invited me to lunch in Bellswood. He said he is easy to be manipulated.”

Chinatsu remember Bellswood and Billy Billions from Ariel. The Billions Family owns a high-tech robotics corporation where the headquarter, The Billions Tower is in this city, rivalling the Plumbers’ technologies. Perhaps Ariel’s suggestion could be useful, not just financially, but resourcefully too.

“I will thinks about it,” Chinatsu replied. “Now you excuse me, I be in my room.”

Chinatsu close her fan, and goes to the corridor, opening the door to the next room.

Stella Junior slapped her hands on the table, shock by what the headmistress just said to the Fairy of Moonlight. Her friends, Sissi and Bebe, standing behind her, sitting in their respective seats in Faragonda’s office. She looked down at her golden key, Bebe’s golden key, and Sissi’s golden key to the Hall of Enchantments in an ordinary key box on the desk, rather than by Headmistress Faragonda presenting it in the Agador Box. She had to learn a shocking news.

“What did you just said?” Said Stella Junior. Faragonda looks at Stella Junior with sadness in her eyes and shrouded in bad news for her. Faragonda wish that she doesn’t know about it.

“I am afraid that the son to one of the Trix, Snowden had successfully stole the Agador Box and The Eye of the Ancient Ancestress. The good news is that the Alfea fairies successfully captured him. Bad news are that he wasn’t alone and therefore it is now lost.”

‘No,’ Stella Junior’s mind wanders by the bad news. It is more than a pretty box made of gold and to store keys for Enchantix fairies. Behind it beauty, it is a storage to contain any spell inside of it. It once drain magic of many planets by the Sorcerer, Valtor. Now that Snowden’s associates have it, they have interior motives.

“Where is Prince Snowden of Dyamond now?” said Stella Junior, gritting her teeth angrily, showing off the canine teeth of her resulting from the fused mewman magic and Valtorian dark magic.

“He’s in the Omega Dimension now,” Fargona answered. Stella Junior let out a sigh, no wonders why Headmistress Faragona is discussing this to her in private. That must be why she allowed her to stay in Camp Synonymous. Because something terrifying and bad will happen that the Magic Dimension will not be prepared for.

~~

The fall is not a graceful in the dark cavern. His heart is cold as the ice, no ice prison can hold him. That is what Snowden thought when he break the block of ice encasing him. A cold breeze in the air fluttered his jacket as he walked through the place, finding a way out of this snowy and ice dimension. He wrapped his arms around himself and move quickly to maintain body heat he has left.

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Snowden’s eyes shifted to see a rhumba of ice serpent, leading them in front of them is the Guardian of The Omega Dimension.

“Shit,” said Snowden, running as fast as he can to get away from the rhumba for dear life. He does not want to be encased in ice again. Or eaten alive. Chinatsu and The Circle needs him alive to complete her goal. Her parents’ goal. His mom’s goal. Everyone’s goals!

Snowden’s eyes are widen when he saw who is rescuing him. Snowden cast a blue lightning strikes from his finger tips at the small ice serpents, and use his ice spell to make a ring around the Omega Dimension’s Guardian’s mouth. However, this made the Ice Serpent furious. The circular clear blue ring of ice break when the Ice Serpent use his jaw strength to open his mouth widening.

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Magical breath emits from the Ice Serpent’s mouth, ready to freeze, lunge forward at the Wizard of Storms and Ice.

Suddenly, a powerful blast of dark magic, went in a diagonal line, hitting the ice serpent. Snowden’s panicked turns to relief and hope as someone else has gone to great lengths to save him. He does not know if he should have to repays them. He assume that it is his comrades in The Circle. He turns to faces his rescuers.

“VELA?!? DONNA?!?” Snowden shouted. But it wasn’t his comrades at all. It was a moon fairy from his planet and the Staryummy that he found floating into space, inside an egg. He shouldn’t be here. He should be back in the palace.

“Boss!” Said the ‘baby’ Staryummy, Vela.

“……..you two shouldn’t be here.” He said, looking at the moon fairy, the newly Heylin Fairy & Guardian of his home planet and the Staryummy. “I can escaped on my own.”

She wants to go alone and rescue him, because without him, how can she spend her life in The Heylin? She lost her soul and without her soul, she is not one in harmony anymore, so technically speaking, she is not a Guardian Fairy anymore because she lose her guardianship. However….deep down in her Heylin body, she is a guardian fairy by heart. “Protecting my kingdom and my people is what makes me a real guardian fairy,” said Donna. “You are my people too.”.

“Spare me the heroic speech.” said a dismissive Snowden. He coldly pushed her away because… let’s face it, despite being a villain, he couldn’t help himself with the guilt of being responsible for Donna losing pure harmony to the Magic Dimension.

“Fine. Enjoy being their prey,” said a dismissive Donna, rolling her eyes at him, she turns away and fly away. Snowden rolls his eyes back at her and narrowed his eyes. Suddenly the Ice Serpent, that Snowden almost forgotten, awoken and slither toward Snowden.

“Shit!” Said Snowden, he and Vela follows Donna.

As she walked away, leaving Vela and Snowden behind. Donna close her eyes. He saved her from ending her fairy journey through the life of marriage and motherhood. Though this is not what she and Snowden has in mind, but it was her decision to drink the Lao Mang Lone Soup that led to the Prince of Black Ice into helping her escape the path her brothers and parents decided for her. Her parents’ friends, The Winx Club still will discover that she is not the Donna they used to know and love. But a dark fairy, a different kind of dark fairy that is beyond their understanding. ‘This isn’t what the fates wanted you to go.’ according to Chase Young’s words in Donna’s head. ‘The ones who are supposedly align in good, self-sabotage and imbalanced the harmony to their own dimension, is The Winx Club. Them alone who’s altered your destiny as everyone else in this evolving world. I sympathize you that you have been plunged into darkness, but all that matters is you do your

Chapter Two: I'm Fucking Gay

A few years later, we entered Junior High School which was going to be two of the most traumatic years for all four of us. I was so nervous as we walked through the doors to the Junior High wing of our school. “It’s so big…” RaeLynn said, sounding very nervous as she looked around. Her beautiful green and blue eyes darted around like lasers. 

“That’s what she said,” KelHani said, laughing as she made her crude joke. She had developed a very perverted sense of humor over the years, I always found it hilarious. “Kel!” RaeLynn said, “the sisters will hear you!” she scolded, pushing her big, nerdy glasses back up as she looked for her locker. She eventually found it and smiled, “Rosa! We’re locker neighbors!!” she squealed as her and Rosanna did a little dance.

I chuckled as KelHani and I kept walking down the hallway, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that KelHani was trying to pull the skirt of her uniform down, “you struggling?” I asked her.

KelHani nodded, “yeah, I don’t know why Mrs. D thinks I fit into the same size as RaeLynn, she’s so short and I got my dad’s height” she said as she took her blazer off and tied it around her waist, she had been working out with her aunt a lot lately and had developed some muscles that made my heart start racing.

I nodded, laughing a bit. “Selena has always been strange, give her a break… the lady has cancer” I said, trying to keep from showing how nervous she sometimes made me. I had developed a crush on her which was a strange thing for me since I didn't know if something was wrong with me, especially since I also had a crush on RaeLynn. 

KelHani shrugged and nodded, “I guess you're right. Honestly, I was thinking of just wearing Dya's uniform since he still has it stashed in his closet somewhere…” she told me, her eyes looked ahead with the same cold, piercing glare she always had. 

I blinked, “I don't think that's allowed, Kel” I said, thinking a bit. 

KelHani smirked and pulled out the fucking student handbook from her backpack, turning to the dress code, “paragraph three, subsection two: ‘students must where the school uniform.’ It says nothing about which uniform. It just says the school uniform, so I could wear Dya's uniform if I wanted to” she explained, her smirk turned into a smile that I didn't see often. She was always cold and distant which was understandable, she had a difficult life before she started living with her aunt. Fuck, she was nearly pull into the foster system until Kyren, her dad's older sister, swooped in and took full custody of KelHani and Dyamond when KelHani was three and Dya was ten. I'd never known the extent of the things she suffered when she lived with her parents or the extent of how much she still suffered, but I knew she still suffered and it broke my heart to think she thought she had to suffer in silence and all alone. 

I nodded as I found my locker, “then I better see you in that uniform tomorrow, Kel” I told her as I stopped walking in front of my locker. 

“oh, don't worry, Sweetheart. You will,” she told me as she walked away, leaving me stunned and flustered as I blinked while looking at my locker. 

I calmed down then opened my locker to put my bag into it. I looked at the bracelet that Tia Isabel bought me, hoping it would bring me luck like she claimed. I was minding my business when I heard a familiar, grating voice next to me.

“Wow, did she just call you ‘sweetheart’? That's so disgustin’!” Erika Artois said, making me look up from my list to glare at her. 

I glared at her, scowling as I rolled my eyes, “she was joking, Erika. Calm down” I said bluntly. 

Erika scoffed, “not only does Kelly, Kelsey, whatever her name is, look like a freak but she's also a sinner! She's definitely not getting into Heaven!” She said, looking disgusted. 

I'd be lying if I said that her words didn't make my jaw drop, I felt my blood boiling and quickly slammed my locker shut as I started walking to get my schedule. I felt like I was going to deck her in the face if I didn't walk away from her. 

Lunch finally came and I was already exhausted. I sat at a table in the courtyard, waiting for KelHani, Rosa, and RaeLynn. I looked at Rosa and RaeLynn when they walked over.

Rosa sat down and smiled, “guess who has a crush on a rich boy?” She asked, having a shit-eating grin on her face. 

“You?” KelHani asked as she sat down next to me.

RaeLynn sighed and gestured to herself while her cheeks flushed pink, “and it's not a crush, I just said that Danyol is kinda cute” she said, nudging Rosa with her elbow.

I blinked, “Danyol Williamson?” I asked as I started eating the leftover Pork Ropa Vieja that Ethan packed me for lunch. “I think he's in my math class, I don't see what's so cute about him,” I said, feeling a twinge of jealousy.

Rosa gestured at me like I was the smartest bitch in the room, “thank you, Drake is way cuter right?” she asked me.

“Who?” I asked through a mouth full of food.

“Danyol's brother, he's in 8th grade” KelHani told me, “he runs with the Bloody Birdseyes, I think” she added. 

We were talking and laughing when Erika came up and ‘accidentally’ spilled her tray all over KelHani which made her stand up, completely pissed.

“Oops! I'm sooo sorry, I totally didn't mean to!” Erika said in the most sarcastic and bitchy voice ever. I could tell she was trying to hide her evil grin.

KelHani looked at her and glared, “yeah, you're totally fucking sorry” she spat.

“Hey, back off my girl” Erika’s boyfriend said, stepping up and standing toe to toe with KelHani, “you worthless ni-”  before he could finish speaking, KelHani’s fist was pounded into his face and he fell backwards.

Rosa and RaeLynn stood up as I watched in both horror and amusement, watching KelHani pummel the idiot before she was ripped off by Danyol, who I thought was trying to play “hero”.

KelHani was sent home and suspended for a week after she beat Erika's white trash boyfriend in the lunchroom, the day went on though. I got home and collapsed onto my bed, not caring about my shrieking mother who was screeching Because my father had slept with his television daughter who was fourteen. 

“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!? YOU LET THAT LITTLE SLUT SEDUCE YOU!?” I heard my mother screech from downstairs, feeling disgusted that she was actually blaming the girl who was only a year older than me. 

I laid in my bed, looking at the ceiling for a bit before I went to the kitchen to get some food. I grabbed a soda and a mini bag of chips then slumped down on the couch as I started eating.

“You have a dance competition in two weeks, Valentina. Don't be gaining weight, your costume needs to fit,” my mother told me as she walked in and saw that I was snacking.

“I'll be fine, Mami. It's just a bag of chips,” I said, looking at her. 

“Don't back talk to me, Valentina. I'm not in a good mood. Your sister has already gained two pounds and now she won't fit into her outfits for her fashion show next week!” She vented, “and your brother keeps canceling his photoshoots so he can take more acting opportunities, so I'm not happy right now!”

“E is nineteen, Mami. You can't boss him around anymore,” I muttered, not understanding why I was the one she was venting to like this.

She looked at me before she walked over and smacked me across the face, “talk back to me again and we're sending you to boarding school, Valentina Rodriguez!” She scolded me.

I nodded as I got up, “I'm sorry, Mami” I said as I threw away my chips and walked out the door with my soda. I waited until I was a block away to start crying while I walked to KelHani’s house.

I arrived at her house and just walked in, suddenly feeling so safe and wanted the second I walked through the door. I could hear Eminem playing as I made my way through the house to the living room.

“Ayooo!! Valentina is in da house!!” Dyamond said as he saw me, making Rylyn and Ethan look over their shoulders at me. Ethan got a concerned look on his face when he saw my puffy eyes and the red handprint on my cheek.

“H-hey, guys…” I said as I walked over to sit down, seeing Ethan's boyfriend, Andy, was asleep on his lap. 

“What's wrong, Mija?” Ethan asked me as I sat down, signaling for Dyamond to turn the music down. 

“Mami smacked me for talking back to her,” I said as I instantly began to relax.

Rylyn looked at me as she let her daughter, Violetta, waddle around happily, “damn, need an ice pack?” She asked.

I shook my head, jumping a bit when KelHani came up behind me and scared me as a joke, “gah! KEL!!” I said, glaring at her “asshole!” 

KelHani was laughing as she sat next to me, noticing the handprint on my cheek, “Who the fuck did that to you, Val?” She asked, her eyes became piercing and angry. 

“My mom, it's nothing, Kel,” I said, looking at my hands. I blushed as she grabbed my hand and pulled me with her.

“V and I are going to my room!” She said as she sneakily grabbed two beers from the fridge then walked to her room with me following. 

“Are we supposed to have those?” I asked, sitting on her bed.

“Who cares? I assume you're staying here tonight anyways and it's one beer. My aunt won't give a shit as long as we're being safe” KelHani told me as she opened one of the beers and handed it to me, I took the beer and took a sip. I heard her laugh as I made a sour face.

“What the fuck? This tastes like shit, Kel,” I told her, finding myself taking another sip. 

KelHani nodded as she took a swig from her own beer, “I know. But it's fun shit,” she smiled as she sat next to me.

“How long did you get suspended for?” I asked, looking at her.

She sighed, “a week, and Matthew didn't even get any reprimand for almost calling me a fucking slur. Probably because the headmaster didn't want to upset his precious princess Erika,” she rolled her eyes as she spoke, sitting back a bit.

I blinked, “that's so stupid. She literally poured hot-ass soup on you! That's literally assault. You should report her!” I said, starting on a tangent without even realizing it. I was rambling for a while before I realized that KelHani was just staring at me with a smile on her face, “what?” I asked, feeling confused. 

“You're just cute when you ramble,” she said, cupping my face and kissing me which caught me completely off-guard. 

I froze for a second, my face becoming very red as I melted into the kiss and returned her passion. 

The kiss lasted for several moments, becoming quite heated until someone knocked on KelHani’s door and we quickly separated from one another. 

KelHani cleared her throat “wassup?” She asked, looking at the door as Kyren, KelHani’s awesome aunt, walked into the room. 

Kyren looked at me then at KelHani, “this is about the social worker, you ok with her being here while we talk about her?” She asked.

“Yeah, I'm ok with V being here. I trust her,” KelHani said, smiling at me with the same, rare smile. 

Kyren nodded, “Sarah wants us to schedule an appointment to talk about you seeing your mom again. She's outta rehab, she's wanting to reconnect with you,” she said, looking at KelHani. “I told her that I'd talk to you about it, you're thirteen and you're old enough to know your own choices. So what do you think?” She asked, letting KelHani Think.

“I'll go to the meeting, but I'm not going to decide anything yet,” KelHani said, her smile faded as her voice seemed to fill with venom. 

Kyren nodded, “got it, Kiddo. Also, hey, Val. Having fun kissing my niece?” She asked, smiling a bit.

I blushed, seeing that KelHani also blushed brightly,“ummm… y-yeah…”  I said, knowing that lying was pointless. 

“Good, I'll let you two lovebirds get back to cuddling. Just no funny business,” Kyren said as she closed the door when she left.

KelHani sighed and laid back against her back, looking at me, “can we cuddle?” She asked.

I nodded and crawled over, laying against her as I looked at her, “your mom's in rehab?” I asked.

KelHani nodded, “yeah, or well, she was apparently. She was addicted to Cocaine for a while when Dya and I were kids. My dad was a gambler and an alcoholic, he was often violent and abusive. He almost killed Dya and I one day. I found my mom's cocaine and I copied what I saw her do, ended up overdosing and my dad beat Dya and I after we got home from the hospital, for being stupid apparently. Then CPS took us and that's when we started living with Aunt Ky. Haven't seen my mom or dad since. I don't want to see my dad, but I don't know how I feel about my mom yet” she explained, looking at the ceiling.

I looked at her, my heart breaking for her as I heard the pain she suffered through. I wanted to say something but I had no idea what to say, “Kel…” I said, My voice was  barely above a whisper.

KelHani put a finger to my mouth and shook her head, “just cuddle me,” she said softly as she cupped my face to kiss me. I nodded, snuggling her as I finally admitted to myself silently. I'm fucking gay…
