#winx club grace au

[trashcankitty12]

I'm nowhere near done yet with this story. Literally just wrapping up the third chapter. Out of potentially 22 chapters (assuming things don't need to be spread out more or something).

But... would y'all like for me to go ahead and sort of give a glimpse (and description of) the New Company of Light? As in, a quick rundown of where they're at when the story starts?

Or wait and use those after the story is done?

Winx Club Next-Gen AU: Roxy's Kids

As won the poll I posted back in June, Roxy's kids are up next! Roxy and the next characters were ones I still wanted to include in this AU, but I was having trouble finding good ships for them with characters I haven't already put into a ship. So, these characters will appear as "single" in this AU because of that, but they may still have partners of their own, just not ones that will be seen or mentioned much.

But yeah, I hope you guys enjoy! :3

================================================

- The Kids:

* Grace

. Age: 16

. Magic Title: Witch of Camouflage

. Physical Description: short height with a slightly chubby pear-shaped build, long and straight dark magenta hair with her natural dark brown roots showing, slightly tan skin, light brown eyes, dark makeup, multiple ear piercings

. Bio: Oldest child and daughter of Roxy, currently attending Cloud Tower. As Roxy chose not to take over the throne of Tir Nan Og when she became of age, in favor for a simpler life, Grace and her sister grew up in a much less hectic environment. She enjoyed her peaceful childhood in Gardenia among the regular humans, but has been on visits to Tir Nan Og before and has become close with the crowned heir, too. When she was in her preteen years she had a hard time finding what sort of 'scene' or group she fitted in, as she felted pulled in many different directions but nothing stood out the most to her. That is till one day she stumbled across a couple of goth videos and fashion online, and almost instantly became enamored with goth culture. After getting a chance to explore her own style and identity, she has grown into a perky, bubbly, and friendly young lady, despite her gloomy appearance and dark interests. After she became a witch, she wanted to explore the world not only to look for ingredients for her potions and charms, but also to find beauty in the darker elements that most people would normally shun or shy away from. She has developed a small crush on fellow classmate Princess Coral of Andros, as her more chill and energetic nature sets a flutter in her heart the more they work on assignments together.

* Juliet

. Age: 14

. Magic Title: Witch of Mimicry

. Physical Description: average height(taller than her sister) with a slim build that is only slightly curvy, chest-length and slightly wavy ashy blonde hair, fair skin, gray-ish blue eyes

. Bio: Youngest child and daughter of Roxy, currently attending a regular public school in Gardenia before planning on attending Cloud Tower in the next couple of years. Had more-or-less the same kind of peaceful childhood in Gardenia like her older sister, but unlike her she always felt relatively comfortable with her place in the world. She is considerably more down-to-earth and practical than Grace, having a more 'plain' style and calmer interests, but she has the same taste of adventure like her as she loves learning more about the world. Despite coming across quite sensible and unassuming, she is actually a huge science fiction fan deep down, having attended quite a few fandom conventions and even named her black labrador puppy Anakin. She has only recently discovered her witch abilities, but is choosing to wait a couple of years before attending Cloud Tower so she can continue to build up her magical abilities.

🩵 Winx Club AU: Iris, Fairy of Grace 🩵

================================================

Next up for the fairies, we have Iris~! She was always a fairy in each version of the AU. Her title "Fairy of Grace" comes from the graceful and breezy way she regularly moves about, though this does come in useful for battle situations as she is able to move around undetected and with ease. Kind of similar to wind magic, but in a more soft and flowing kind of way as opposed to harsh. I hope you enjoy!

Some extra notes about her fairy form:

The only change to the dress is that is would have more of a sweetheart neckline. All the straps of her heels would be sparkling. The chain bracelet would be on both wrists. The main gemstones of both her necklace and earrings would be a light blue, with the smaller ones being a mix between light blue and regular diamonds.

Her wings would be silver in color, with only a subtle blue color and would be similarly-shaped to the ones above. Her hair is put into its usual bun, held together with the hairclip, though a couple of curled strands would hang loose to frame her face.

YAY I finish in time for D7 of @atsukyouweek!

Characters/Pairing: Nakajima Atsushi & Izumi Kyouka // Atsukyou 

Genre: Angst with a happy ending

Rating: General

Prompt used: Free day! - Fairy AU (potential Winx AU) 

Word Count: 3k+

Summary: Kyouka was a young girl with magical powers and the potential to transform into the Fairy of Lightning. She was playing in her secret cave when a thunderstorm happened, terrifying her. Atsushi came running to the cave to look for her.

Read it on AO3!

A/N 1: The result of me binging Winx Club all the way to Butterflix (bless me idk what season that is, but I hanged on for the unicorn) made me want to do a fairy AU, but I have no idea what other fairies are like so I made a Fairy AU with references to Winx. 

The afternoon sun hung in a cloudless blue sky, beating down on her mercilessly. Kyouka squinted into the sun, and found herself smiling. The weather was hot but perfect for a trip down to their special cave. She trekked the familiar path across the forest, a melodious hum flowing from her. The trees grew close with their limbs stretching in every direction to form an interlocking canopy overhead which provided her a temporal shade from the relentless sun. The short trek through the forest brought her to the mouth of the tunnel, and she wiped away the sweat that had beaded on her forehead before stepping into the tunnel.

A draft of wind blew from ahead, cooling the tunnel. She took small and soft steps, not wishing to disturb the silence in the cave. A familiar soft glow emanating from ahead served as her guidepost, leading her closer to her spot - a small rough rock outcropping which served as a small ledge fit for two. The tunnel opened up ahead to her spot and she took her seat. Her legs dangled freely in the air as she took in the magnificent view ahead of her. Crystals of varying shapes and sizes grew on the rocks, illuminating the small cavern with a soft hue of blue. A sense of calm swept through her, and any tension and stress that she had felt throughout the week faded.

She conjured a small ball of bright white light in her palm and flicked it to the middle of the cavern. The light from the ball fizzled and crackled as it reflected on the crystals close to it, and there was a burst of rainbows stretching and filling the small cavern. With another flick, the ball drifted down to the floor of the cave, to the spot where she knew the prettiest rainbow would form. It took a second but the ball never failed. The arc of colours stretched from the cave floor, reaching to the top of the cave, cutting through the soft blue hue from the rest of the crystals, a beautiful mix of colours with the soft brightness of the blue. She felt her lips tug up in a small smile at the beauty of it. The perfection in the arch of the rainbow and the soft glow had stirred a wistful desire in her for him to be here to see its perfection – her masterpiece, before it disappears.

-ackkk.

The sound was faint, but it had caught her attention. She froze, her legs stopping in mid-swing and waited, hoping that the sound would not return.

CRACKKKK.

With all her attention on it, she heard it clearer now – the distant crack of a thunder. She shifted back into the tunnel and turned to look back down the way she had come. She heaved a sigh of relief at her realisation that she was too far from the tunnel mouth to see the flashes of lightning. She looked back to the cave and saw that her rainbow had disappeared, leaving the cave bathed in a blue glow again. The unnaturalness of the blue glow brought a slight prickling over her skin as uneasiness crept up on her. Images of the past few days of practice flashed through her mind - the bluish glow to her mother’s bolt of lightning and her own reluctance to shoot a bolt of lightning, her mother’s clear disappointment and her cowering under her blanket. She stopped herself there, not willing to see the next image that came, and pulled her knees to her chest, burying her head in them with her eyes and ears closed.

Time ticked by. The roar of the thunder had been replaced by a soft patter of rain a while ago. Her eyes darted to the mouth of the tunnel and she contemplated if she should take the risk and dash back home. She swept her gaze across the small area, while she weighed her options. If she waited the storm out, at least she would be -

“KYOUKA!”

His voice was loud and it echoed down the tunnel to her. Her gaze flickered back down the tunnel, but the tunnel was too dark to make out his silhouette. She strained her ears, and heard a faint tread of footsteps coming her way.

“ARE YOU HERE, KYOUKA?” He called again, his voice reverberating in the tunnel. The echoes sounded frighteningly eerie, yet it did not mask the concern in his voice.

“ATSUSHI! HERE!”

She stood up and waved wildly. She could make out a dark silhouette some distance ahead of her. He ran down the tunnel, his footfalls loud and hurried in the tunnel, as he called out that he was coming. She felt some of her uneasiness slipped away as he slowly came into focus. He stopped in front of her, his breathing short and raspy.

“Glad… glad you’re … okay,” he croaked out between breaths.

She forced the tear of relief trapped in her throat back down and nodded. Atsushi stood to a side, clutching the wall, as he sucked in deep breaths. His wet hair was plastered to his face, and he trembled slightly from the cold. His blue cape was dripping droplets of water into the ground, forming a dark wet patch. With his breathing finally steadied, he pushed his hair back and drew his hand across his face, wiping it as dry as he could. His eyes met hers and a sheepish grin formed on his face.

“It’s just a little rain, don’t worry, ‘kay?” He paused, his eyes shifting to the glowing space. He took a few steps ahead and stopped at her spot. “It’s still as beautiful as the first time we found it, huh?” A small chuckle followed his words, as he stared off into the space.

She joined him and flicked her hand. The small ball of white light appeared again, fizzing with energy as it hovered in mid-air. The change was quick, and a few small rainbows stretched out from the crystals near the ball. She heard a sharp indrawn breath of awe from him and felt a slight grin tug at the corners of her mouth. Her eyes closed for the moment, listening to his steady breathing and his soft ‘wow’. Her eyes flew open at a slight touch on her hand and shifted down to see his hand resting against hers. Slowly, she closed her hand around his, the heat of her hand warm against his cold hand. Like he was snapped out of a reverie, his gaze turned and locked onto hers. The flash of surprise in his eyes was quickly replaced by what seemed to be shocked happiness, and then embarrassment. There was a tinge of pink in his cheeks and she could feel a flush heating her own cheeks too. An awkward silence stretched out between them as she fixed her eyes on him. Even with his head turned now, she could hear the cogs in his brain working up something to say, and she waited, wanting to give him the chance. She heard a low muttering from him, and bit back a question that was already forming on her lips.

Atsushi took a deep breath and cleared his throat. “Um, actually, I came back to the kingdom, because um… I needed to tell you something.” He paused for a moment, and took another deep breath. “Kyouka, I like you. Will you come -, no wait, will you be my –”

The rock underneath her feet started to vibrate, its intensity increasing by the second. She looked around and saw the cave shaking. The cave was rumbling and vibrating with an intensity she had never felt before, and as the ledge they were standing on quaked even harder, she heard it - a loud crack. In that split second, she felt a hand shoved her backwards and her hand reached out blindly to grasp only air. She stumbled back into the safe confines of the tunnel with her hand still outstretched. She waved the swirling cloud of rock dust away, and looked over the edge. Her eyes went wide with horror.

“Atsushi!” She cried out, before she leapt down after him.

                                                                                        ―――――

There was a dazzling flash of bright light above his eyes. He saw her, a transformed fairy now, flying towards him with her hand outstretched. He could hear her shouting something, but he was too stunned to react as he continued to fall. “She’s beautiful…” was all he could think of as he stared blankly at her outstretched hand, now inches from his. He could just reach it if he stretched. She was still shouting something at him, though it was getting clearer.

“-my hand, take it! DAMN IT, ATSUSHI!”

Something in her voice jolted him, and he found himself stretching his hand out to meet hers. He felt her hand clasped around his, followed by a sharp pull, arresting his falling momentum. His eyes darted around wildly at the realisation that he was inches from the cave floor and that Kyouka had saved him again. He gazed at her with gratefulness in his eyes, as she set him down on the ground below before falling to an exhausted heap beside him.

She was gorgeous in her fairy form. Her outfit was a simple yellow ombre off shoulder dress with sparkles that shimmered, and it was completed with an orange ankle heeled boots. Her dark blue hair flowed to her waist and a white headband with what seemed to be golden stars sat atop her head. But it was her wings which drew his attention. The wings were a translucent blue with what seemed to be an intricate pattern of forked lightning paths along the edges of her wings ending with a ball of light at each tip. She looked ethereal, like an angel from the heavens descended onto their kingdom to grace him with her beauty.

“What? Atsushi, stop staring.”

He turned away, a blush warming his cheeks. “Sor-sorry. Didn’t mean to.”

She heaved a sigh. “It’s fine. Give me a minute to catch my breath.”

“Okay,” he paused, realising what it was that he had heard from her voice. “Sorry for scaring you, and, and thank you for saving my life.”

Her breathing was loud in the silence that followed, as she settled them into regularity.

“Please, don’t, don’t ever do something like this again.” He heard the trace of fear in her voice, despite her clear efforts to suppress them.

He nodded and took a glance at her. Though she hadn’t complained, he could see the exhaustion in the sagging of her shoulders. He looked up to the small hole, where they had been earlier. It was high, and it would take her some effort to get them both up. He had to look for an alternative way out of here instead of exhausting her even further.

“Kyouka, can you stay here for a moment?” Her eyebrow arched upwards at his request. “I’m just going to take a quick look around, and see if there’s any other way out. I’ll be back in a mo-mo-, what?” He had stopped at the frown on her face.

“I’ll just fly us up later. Just let me rest a little first.” She answered in exasperation, while she shifted to lean against the face of a rock that was jutting out of the ground.

“But-” he started to protest.

“Atsushi, if there is no other way out, you’re going to tell me to just fly up on my own right?” His eyes went wide at her words. “As I expected. Well, I’m not taking no for an answer, okay? So, come sit here for a moment.” She patted the ground next to her, a wide but tired smile stretching her mouth, and he found himself settling into the small space next to her.

His gaze slid to her and he heard a voice in his head nagging at him to ask the same question he had asked her every year. The question tumbled out of his mouth before he could stop them. “Kyouka, do you want to come to Alfea next year?”

A moment of silence followed his words as she furrowed her brows in thought. “No.”

Surprise flitted through him at her answer. “Kyouka, but… but you’ve earned your fairy form! You should come –“

“No. I don’t want this power, I’m just-“ Her words trailed off into silence.

“Just what?” He prompted tentatively.

She bit her lower lip, and withdrew her knees to her chest. She locked her gaze with his, as though hoping to see something in them. When she spoke again, her voice was soft like a whisper and with a hint of uneasiness. “Just… just that I’m scared. I never liked the lightning, and it’s as if the heavens are playing a cruel joke on me by giving me this power. It’s like I’m being punished for what happened back then, that horrible day.”

She looked so small and vulnerable with her eyes closed, cowering in her own fear. He knew of that day, and he knew of her fear. What she hadn’t realised was that she was the one who had saved him that day. Her mind, too young to process the horror of that day that had unfolded in front of her, had sealed the memory in its deepest corners and in doing so, she had suppressed her own magic, limiting it to a small lightning ball. That was what the Queen had swore him to secrecy about a few years back. He looked at her shuddering small frame, and realised that he can no longer keep this a secret. He knew he had no rights to reveal it to her but she deserved to know. With his mind made up, he shuffled toward her to close the short gap between them and put his arm around her.

“Kyouka, listen to me for a moment, okay?” He paused. “That day, you didn’t injure anyone. You saved them.”

She shook her head. “Lies.”

“Kyouka, listen. I was the boy you saw!” There was a sharp intake of breath from her. He held up his hand, and continued, “The lightning... it’s trajectory, it was about to hit the tree I was hiding under. I saw the people running towards me, shouting at me to run towards the bubble that was floating towards me, but I was too scared to. My legs had turned weak, and I fell to the ground. I was so scared of the bolt that was to come, and I closed my eyes, thinking that it was the end. But the bolt never came. Do you know why, Kyouka?” A smile stretched across his face as he looked at her.

“Me?”

He nodded. “Yes, somehow, you, who had been watching the whole thing from the window, had subconsciously directed the lightning away, shooting it to the next tree. The queen had been so shocked when she saw it, but before she could even say anything, you had cried into her arms, and try as she might, she could never convince you to believe otherwise. It was like, you had sealed yourself off to the truth.”

“My mother? So that bolt, it never killed-?”

“Never. The bubble reached me in time and it shielded me from any other lightning attacks on my way back into the palace.”

A shocked silence followed, and he could see her face scrunched up, her mind processing the information he had just revealed,

“But why did she stop telling me about it? Did she lie?”

Hesitation slipped into his voice. “I think... I think she just wanted to protect you. You didn’t want to remember it, and she didn’t want you to hurt anymore, so....”

He let his words stretch into silence, giving her the time to think.

“Atsushi, I can’t say I definitely want to go to Alfea, but if I do… will you… will you help me?”

“Of course, that’s what, us, specialists do.” A smile entered his voice as he patted her.

“Even… if I lose control and become too scared?”

“Especially then.”

“What if… a storm happens and I’m… I’m too scared?”

“I’ll go to you and stay with you until you feel better.”

A small chuckle came out from her. “Are there no rules in Red Fountain?”

A laugh entered his voice, as he replied, “Well there have been seniors who have done it, so I don’t see why I can’t. I’ll risk it.”

Their laughter rang in the resounding silence, filling the small cavern. He looked at her to see that the fear and uneasiness from her had dissipated. He gave her a small pat on the head. “Kyouka, we should go.”

She nodded and got up. He took her hand and she carried them up past the remnants of the ledge and into the tunnel, stopping a short distance away from the mouth of the tunnel. There was another flash of light and she transformed back. Kyouka waited for him to stand before asking, “Ah, Atsushi! I just remembered, what were you about to ask me? You know, before you fell?”

His cheeks flushed red and he walked away quickly, mumbling, “I don’t remember!”

“Atsushi, hey, Atsushi!” She ran the few steps and caught him by his hand, pulling him to a stop. Her voice was a silky whisper as she teased him.. “The answer is yes, by the way.”

She ran ahead, laughing, stopping at the mouth of the tunnel with a bright smile on her face. He stood frozen in shock, his eyes locking with hers as a flush of heat warmed through him.

“Atsushi!” She called from where she stood. She looked so beautiful with the sunset framed behind her, the last rays of the sun stretching to reach her, bathing her in its remaining glow. Her smile was wide and bright, it was as if the storm in the day and the uneasiness she had felt earlier had not existed. She was like a ball of happiness and joy now, waving and smiling at him. He liked that about her, being able to smile with so much warmth. He ran up to her and pulled her into his embrace, just as another shower of rain fell upon them.

A/N 2:  Thank you for reading to the end and I hope you enjoyed this! Likes and comments are always welcomed, and I would love to hear any thoughts that you might have :3 This is the second AU I did for this week that I really like and I'm so tempted to make Kyouka be a fairy with Sirenix transformation (yes I am changing it to a winx au probably and taking out Believix)

A Snippet From My Upcoming Fic

I'm real excited about this one, even though it's not finished yet and probably won't be for a bit. (All of the chapters so far have been longer than I normally write... And I'm planning for 22 of them. So... Yeah...)

But I'm excited. And I wanted to share a snippet of Chapter One!

This story is from my Grace Au, which is a continuation from my fic "I Didn't Have It In Myself To Go With Grace", which is a story in which I essentially had Griffin murdered by Valtor. On accident. Sort of.

This fic takes place roughly 25-ish years after the initial story and Valtor is being 'recruited' to work for the New Company of Light against his Mothers.

Fun, right?

Anyway, snippet under the cut!

Remembering his manners, he gave a careful bow, thrilled his limbs were starting to get used to cooperating with him again. “I’m glad for the chance to meet the one who got me out of Omega. To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Take a seat, we have much to discuss.” Her tone had a slight drawl to it, (Rancorian?), and her tone was one that suggested she was a ‘no-nonsense’ person. 

Fantastic.

Valtor gave a nod, taking a seat in one of the chairs, observing as she did the same. “I’m going to cut to the chase, I know you, Mr. Bellan. I’ve read your files, studied the archived footage of battles you participated in and the security footage from the places you robbed from.”

Great start.

“I personally think defrosting you and bringing you here was a piss poor idea.” She took what seemed to be an exasperated sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose. (And just where had he seen that quirk before?)

“Unfortunately, we’re currently in an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ situation and several of my colleagues are big believers in ‘redemption’ and ‘second chances’.” She used air quotes around the last bit.

“I take it you’re more cynical?” Valtor pointed out the obvious, giving a slight smirk. So she had turned out like her mother. “You don’t believe in second chances or redemption?”

If looks could kill, he’d be dead. The way her eyes bore into his, the way her whole body seemed to tense. But she gave a smile, though it seemed more of a grimace. “Actually, I do believe in them. However such concepts only work if the subject is willing to attempt to do better. To be better. And you, Mr. Bellan, I don’t believe you can do it.”

“Tell me, do you still feel justified in what you did during The First War of Magic? The stealing, the murders, the sacrifices made to the Ancestral Coven? Do you have regret for destroying entire planets? Can you even feel remorse?”

Valtor crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. How dare- “We were in a war, things weren’t so cut and dry.”

“Even war has rules of engagement. The Ancestral Coven, you, disregarded all of them.”

“And I confessed my sins during my sentencing.”

“But did you feel regret for them?” Valtor huffed. “Exactly.” She shook her head, glancing down at a file in her hand.

His. “Honestly if the situation weren’t dire, I wouldn’t even be entertaining this idea.” She turned her gaze back to him. “But here we are.”

“Here we are.” He paused, something she said echoing in his mind. “Did… You say the First War of Magic? As in… There’s been others?” 

“We’re currently in what the press has dubbed The Second War of Magic.” She answered, glancing back to his file. “Which is why I was outvoted in bringing you here; my colleagues think that with your knowledge, you’d be a great asset to us, and of course, you’d be proving you can do good and be a productive member of society.”

Valtor frowned, his hands tapping along the table edge. “And why would I be of use? What happened after I surrendered?” What did he miss?

She paused, tapping on her files. “Long story short: the Company won The First War of Magic and there was a period of peace and restoration of what had been lost. However the Ancestral Witches apparently had a back-up plan in place and we are now, metaphorically speaking, in the eye of the storm.”

“And because I’m Their son, you think I can help figure out Their next moves and how to stop Them?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know, can you? I mean, you said it yourself, you surrendered. You abandoned Them before the final battles, cast Them aside for a pedestal in a frozen wasteland. They may have changed everything about how They operate. But we are willing to take that chance on you.”

“And by ‘we’ you mean your colleagues?”

“Precisely.” She clasped her hands on the table, looking him in the eyes, “so, are you interested? Or am I right in thinking this was a waste of time?” Dragons, she looked like Griffin. His eyes and eye shape, but damn… Dammit.

“If I decide not to help, I go back to Omega, right?”

“If you refuse to help us, I’ll kill you where you sit.” She admitted. 

Valtor clenched his fists, his brows furrowing. “What?”

“If you don’t help us, which would mean being monitored and kept on a tight leash so you can’t go gallivanting off to wreak havoc on your own, you’ll be executed. Nothing personal-”

“Feels pretty damn personal!” He all but growled out. She glowered at him, raising one of her hands. 

The room’s temperature went up several degrees, sweat immediately breaking out over him as she narrowed her eyes. A warning.

He put his hands up in surrender as she lowered hers, the temperature going back to normal. “As I was saying; it’s not personal, but if we leave you in Omega, other Coven members may come to break you out. We can’t risk you rejoining your Mothers as Their favorite errand boy. There’s far too much on the line.”

“So what’s it going to be?”

Thanks for the tag, @darkpoisonouslove

Let's see what I can bring here: (keep in mind, this is subject to be rewritten/fixed/edited later)

-------From my latest story, that is still yet to be finished. Also may have been more of a paragraph. Whoops.----------------

She smiled, those soft green eyes turning hard, a glint of something dangerous behind them. “Names do have power; some give clues to the powers one has, some are given as a whisper of what the parents hope for in their child, and using them when speaking to others creates a familiarity.”

“But after what I’ve been through these last few years, after everything that’s been said and done; I don’t fear what others can do or say to me. In fact, I welcome them to try.”

Valtor couldn’t name or place the feeling he had running in his veins, but he wasn’t sure he liked it.

It was unsettling; a fairy of her demeanor and appearance using a tone of voice so cutting and dangerous(?).

And yet, as soon as that last word was out, she smiled that bright smile again. “So I ask, Valtor, tea or coffee?”

Winx Club AU: Magic Titles

The second post for the Winx Club AU, following after this previous one(with the story/general info)! In this one, it is just the magic titles for everyone who is a magical warrior in this AU. There are some more characters than this who have magic, but as they don't use their magic to fight they don't get a title. If that makes sense lol.

But yeah, I hope you enjoy! I'll go over everyone's magic more when I eventually make the individual posts. I am also separating these by kingdom, to make them a little easier to read through.

AU Winx Club Next-Gen Guide

Since I made a guide for my main next-gen universe earlier, I thought I would go ahead and make a guide for my AU next-gen universe too! :3 That way it can have an official list instead of the WiP/concept lists before lol. Since I won't be adding anymore characters to this universe(unless I can think of good side/crackships to add to it with remaining characters lol), it is pretty much 'finished'/filled in a sense. I just need to draw everyone out(besides the few I doodled before), but I have other projects to work on so that will have to come at a later date(but hopefully sometime within the upcoming/summer months). Until then, I hope you enjoy! :D

Winx Club Next-Gen AU: Andy's Kids

FINALLY!!! After working on this project here-and-there over the past 3 years, I finally finished up the last of the bios I had planned! I did not mean to take so long to get through all of these AU kiddos, but since I had both a long list and other projects + irl stuff to focus on, it took me longer than I would have liked. But, all the bios are finished now, so hopefully this means I can actually start working on some of my ideas for these guys! :3

To focus back on Andy's kids here, Andy was another character I wanted to include in the AU, but like the last couple of posts I had no particular ship in mind for him. As he is more of a minor character compared to the others, his kids will not have super big roles in the AU, but they will still have their connections to other characters. I hope you enjoy!

================================================

- The Kids:

* Dorian

. Age: 17

. Magic Title: none

. Physical Description: average height and build, short and slightly wavy brown hair, fair skin, dark brown eyes

. Bio: Oldest child and son of Andy, currently attending a regular public school in Gardenia. Though Andy never could rekindle his romance with Bloom as she stayed with Sky, he still remained good friends with her and they make it a point to spend time together whenever they can when Bloom comes back to visit Gardenia. Andy himself continued performing with his band, with them eventually becoming quite successful in the professional music industry for many years before taking a break to focus on their families. Dorian is the oldest of Andy's sons, and the one that seems to take after him the most in terms of personality. He is a friendly and sensible young man, just trying to get through school the best he can while still making time to hang out with his friends. As he has lived in Gardenia all his life he has little experience with the Magical Dimension or magical beings, but he has met Bloom's daughter, Adara, on a few occasions and is good friends with her. He is also good friends with Roxy's daughter, Grace, and Selina's twins, Ronald and Isla, but as the three are currently attending schools in the Magical Dimension he has not had the chance to speak or hang out with them in a long time. While he has a natural affinity for music like his dad and younger brother, he is not sure about pursuing a career in it in the future, as he is currently just focused on getting through the rest of high school.

* Lucas

. Age: 14

. Magic Title: none

. Physical Description: average height(shorter than his brother) with a lean build, short black hair with fluffy bangs that are dyed a dark teal color, fair skin, light brown eyes

. Bio: Youngest child and son of Andy, currently attending a regular public school in Gardenia. Lucas is seemingly a lot more confident than his older brother with a tendency to be quite brash and smug, as he has been more used to getting what he wants in life. This makes him pretty polarizing amongst his peers, as he does have a few friends but a lot of his classmates cannot seem to stand him when he starts acting out too much. When things don't go his way he gets pretty grumpy and can lash out, but he is trying to work on that as he realizes that he has to work on making his goals come true himself the more he gets older. Inspired from both his love of listening to music and his dad Andy's career as a musician, Lucas has big dreams of stardom as he wishes to be apart of how own successful rock band someday.
