One of the most dangerous denizens of the dreamworld, the Syren lures errant dreamers to his domain and consumes them.

I doubt uppies is what they were signaling for but uppies is what they got.

FINALLY. CONTEXT BEHIND THIS COMMISSION

warnings: swearing

I sat at the end of the dock, feet dangling into the water as I took in the scenery once more in yet another unsuccessful attempt to calm my nerves.

Today was special.

Because today was the day Thad would finally be coming home from college. For good. And the last time we video called, he said we should do something to celebrate the occasion. And now I was here.

I squeezed my arms.

It'd been a while since I'd seen him in person and to say I was nervous was a huge understatement. What if I made things awkward? What if my voice didn't cooperate when he showed up? WHAT IF HE HATES ME?

I stared down at the water with a small frown, focusing on the reflection of the velki sized trees in the distance. If Thad didn't want to meet me then he wouldn't have asked, right? This was okay. Everything would be okay. Thad would get here and we'd probably have an awkward first exchange and then...eventually things would go back to normal (…hopefully).

But I knew it wasn't just the nerves that were causing my heart to flutter. I was excited to see him again. I missed the physical touch and the sound of his real voice and also when he...uh....when the...he…lips.

ANYWAY

Thad was going to be here soon and I was excited to see him again. I really missed him. And I really hoped he’d missed me too.

Luckily, I didn't have to sit there much longer before I could finally feel the telltale tremors of velki footsteps vibrating through the wood below me. I squeezed my arms to prepare myself as best as I could when I heard the trees behind me start to rustle, my heart jumping with every snap of a branch. Finally, something broke through the treeline and with my heart now pounding with anticipation, I took a good few seconds to mentally prepare myself before finally turning around.

And my heart jumped at the sight.

Thaddeus. Thaddeus Kayne. In the flesh.

And he looked like a mess.

His hair was chaos (…more so than usual, anyway). His clothes were wrinkled. He had pine needles sticking out of his jacket and hair. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days. But he had an absolutely massive grin on his face, his eyes softening slightly when mine met his.

He stood there for a long moment as we stared at each other, his bag sliding off his shoulder in the quiet.

And then his grin widened as he started walking towards me.

The dock was creaking under his weight and all at once he was right behind me (TOO FAST). This gave me just enough time to start rethinking my life choices before he bent down, his head hanging upside down in front of me. I had to lean back to make eye contact now.

Also his eyes were shining.

Oh no.

"Sy," he said simply.

I just nodded back at him, not exactly sure what I was supposed to be doing anymore.

"Would you say you have any electronics on you at this moment?"

…what?

I mean…I'd left all my stuff in a purse by the shore because I didn't want anything getting dirty. I shook my head.

"Anything you wouldn't want to get soaked?"

I shook my head.

"Hmm."

There was silence in the air for a long moment and I almost considered asking what he meant by that but before I could even fully process what was happening, the ground below me disappeared and the next thing I knew, I found myself underwater, completely soaked in freezing cold water.

WHAT HAPPENED???

It took me a while to get my bearings but when I did finally managed to find the dock again while doggy paddling, I had to crane my neck to maintain eye contact with Thad’s still weirdly hunched over form, looking to him for some kind of explanation. In return, Thad only watched me as his expression started to change.

His grin turned sheepish.

The perpetrator.

I just frowned up at him and then stopped frowning when he suddenly straightened up and somehow even more surprisingly than pushing me into the lake, took a step forward into empty air and fell face first into the water too.

???

The resulting waves from his absolutely terrible dive sent me flying away from the dock and once I managed to resurface again, I looked around only to see no sign of Thad besides the ripples where he’d disappeared into the lake.

I waited for him to resurface but when nothing happened and nothing kept happening, dread started to fill me. I was out in a comparatively bottomless lake and my giant, currently evil boyfriend could be anywhere below me. I started to paddle back to shore as fast as my arms could carry me but almost as if he was waiting for it (which he probably was), something quickly surfaced below me and started lifting me out of the water. I felt the faint twitch of muscles and the slight warmth radiating under me and I recognized what it was almost instantly.

A hand lifted me out of the water and then slowly, Thaddeus’ head emerged from the lake like some kind of river monster. His bangs hung in his eyes and his eyeliner was now running freely down his cheeks but his eyes were still shining, coughing up water in between fits of giggles.

“Sorry,” he just managed to get out between his laughter and despite everything, I couldn’t help but start laughing too.

Eventually, we both calmed down enough for Thad to start swimming back to the shore. He set his hand down on the dock and waited for me to get off before he placed his arms down on either side of me and bent them until my back pressed against them.

For a second, he said nothing, watching me in silence as he bobbed slightly in the water before he started leaning towards me. He stopped once his head was mere meters from my own and I once again considered all the choices that had led me to this exact moment before his lips tilted into a small smile and I could literally feel the tension leave the air.

"Hey," he whispered giddily and I felt my cheeks start to heat up as a small smile wormed its way onto my face.

I tried to speak but found the words jammed in my throat. I cleared my throat silently and tried to feel out the words. Said a phrase in my head over and over before finally just reaching out and brushing a hand over his lips instead.

The gesture made him smile and he actually leaned into it, letting me run a hand over the soft surface for a while before I finally had the courage to lean in for a hug, kinda just…draping my arms over what I could reach before I felt what must have been his arms press into me as he returned the gesture.

"I really fucking missed you," he finally whispered, the sentiment making my heart flutter.

He hugged me for a while longer before finally pulling away, brushing some of the wet bangs out of my face with a finger before pulling himself out of the water. He scooped me up before starting to walk back up the dock.

“I had like, a whole romantic forest picnic thing planned out for us but seeing how we’re both soaked in lake water for…some reason…and to be honest I’m tired as hell and probably need like a shower or something, I think I’m gonna just head home for the day.”

My heart sunk slightly.

“-BUT!”

My heart stopped slightly.

“-you’re more than welcome to join me. …if you want to, of course.”

I nodded so frantically that Thad immediately burst out laughing again, stopping only to give me a small kiss on the top of my head before he picked up both of our stuff and started making the trek to his house, eventually launching into a monologue of what his last few days of college were like and how the trip back was as I leaned back into him and enjoyed the feeling of having him back.

In hindsight,

this was a foolish endeavor when I knew I was limping and cursing already.

I loved the fic for your Syren and was wondering if there would be more of this series? I would love to see how the world would be or how the characters would act while interacting with Syren🤩. Like, would Fizz would talk to her a lot since she knows about his relationship with Ozzie and treats him with respect? Things like that, but if not, that’s totally fine since I’ll just continue reading and supporting your other works😁

- Fizz adores having a friend to talk with and rant to when he needs it. Sure, he has been very upfront and honest with Ozzie about damn near everything, but he worries Ozzie will only tell him what he wants to hear and not what he needs to hear. In times like these, he seeks out Syren to get an outside opinion on the matter. He trusts Syren to be honest with him and not just try to make him feel better. She is both honest and gentle when it comes to these interactions, not blowing sunshine but looking at the objective and the facts all while talking Fizz through things.

- Ozzie will go to Syren if he ever wants to learn something or be taught something. He is embarrassed going to anyone else and trusts Syren to properly educate and not tease or hold it over him. Upon meeting and really getting to know Fizz, Ozzie asked Syren to teach him sign language so he could communicate with Fizz when Fizz is being non-verbal. Syren learned the signs herself then taught Ozzie so he and Fizz could still communicate even when Fizz is struggling and at his lowest.

- When Fizz was too nervous to talk with Ozzie about a pain in his broken horns, he went to Syren first to seek proper care and help. Ozzie would have happily done it, but Fizz is sensitive when it comes to what remains of his body after the fire that took his limbs. He trusts Syren to keep his secrets and take care of him without judging or pitying him.

- Syren was raised to be everything Ozzie could possibly need and to take care of Ozzie however possible. This means that out of all imps and demons, very few know more about Ozzie than Syren. Ozzie does not need to be the all powerful king of lust around Syren and he appreciates that because it means he can be himself and feel his feelings without having a single emotion of shame or judgement from her. There is a reason the Sins are so particular when it comes to their Blood-line imps and why there are even blood-line imps in the first place.

- Ozzie and Fizz trust Syren to keep their secret because she keeps every other secret for them. Whenever one or the other has a need for a friend or of support from an outside source on their relationship, they turn to Syren to help them.

- Ozzie calls Syren by the nickname 'Ren' or 'Ren dear' at most times, only calling her Syren when he is issuing a serious order or in front of the other Sins. Beyond those few times, Ozzie genuinely sees Syren as his closest confidant. He will tell Fizz almost everything, but some business between the Sins could put Fizz in danger and so Syren is the only one he discusses these matters with. This unwavering trust is why Succubi/Incubi, imps, hellhounds, and all manner of demons respect when she comes knocking or when it comes to assigning tasks in the palace.

- Many demons are envious of Syren and how close she is within the inner circle of the sins and their confidants. Blood-line imps are seen as above other imps given their primary role to their respective sin, but this means they are also seen as sellouts who wish they were sins. The truth is Syren was born and raised to be there for Ozzie no matter what, and she is happy to be the one he comes to when times are tough.

- Syren has been kidnapped before by envious demons or greedy demons looking to make a big score with Ozzie. She is of the firm belief that Ozzie need not worry when it comes to these kidnappings, but he is still quite stressed by them. More often than not, Ozzie will go and retrieve Syren himself should things seem dire for the imp. He and Fizz both genuinely care for her and find it as a personal attack when she is taken. Those who take her don't realize how far either one will go to retrieve their close friend.
