"...you have to wonder how she deals with it, yeah? I couldn't imagine being Quinn's roommate, too much pressure."
Somewhere down the row of benches, Venessa Ainsworth rose her head with a confused look, quietly turned her attention over towards the talking, and made a very confused sound. As, not last week, Scarlett had roped her into shoving their collective mess of a dorm room into their shared closet.
...and they thought it was too much pressure? And that Upperclassmen Marchetti was her roommate.
Leslie, who was seated next to her, quietly lifted a hand to press down on her head, ultimately drawing her attention back towards their shared Remedial Demonology homework.
Right, worries for another day perhaps...

"Do I want to know?"
Not that Aúclair had any room to judge, what with the way she was climbing over the railing of the balcony, but, sure enough, it didn't atop her from commenting on it.
A random girl in Luca Orlem's bed wasn't an unusual sight, no, but one that was fully dressed and obviously curled up in the aftermath of some form of emotional distress was, however, something rather new.
"Aren't you and Andersen supposed to be halfway to Felicià right now?" Luca offered back, just barely pulling back from the blanket in time to greet her.
"Substantial delay," Aúclair flicks her hand over her shoulder vaguely, before shrugging and making her way over to his roommates bed, "a stroke of luck, considering we left behind the books we were actually meant to bring along with us."
With that, she pulled out a rucksack from under Andersen's bed, threw it over her shoulder, and gave him a narrow eyed look.
"You know, I never took you for the shy type."
"Funny, I could say the same of Andersen and the emotionally dead."
"...Touchè, Orlem."

"I'm afraid, that, even if we do this, if we find this cure, once and for all, Randy will only hate me. And I don't know what's worse, never finding a cure, or living with the knowledge that he hates me with every fiber in his being."
Bernadette wisely did not comment on that admission, and simply held tight to Serge's shoulders.

Wizardess Heart MC!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My interpretation of the MC with some pretty noticeable tweaks, most glaringly, her parents aren't just a faceless backdrop sob story!
They have backstories, characters, and their entire fuckshow of a courting deserves it's own damn book considering how insane it all was.
They had to kill multiple people, navigate a Decadent Court for twenty odd years, and fake their deaths before they could settle down to get married, much less have a kid.
Justina Aldebrand and Kaye Verlice were some bad bitches, man. Assuming those are their actual names.
[Yes they're repurposed OC's, no I'm not telling you what fandom these little shits crawled out of, you'd laugh at me.]
I'll get to them later, though, maybe a couple dozen one-shot's surrounding their youth...
Anyway, meet Lyra Verlice the absolute trainwreck that was the result of their union, emotionally constipated and with absolute shit fashion sense, she's probably the local equivalent to The Chosen One, and fuck if she doesn't hate every single solitary moment of it.
A pretty big change from canon, so to speak, is that she attended a preparatory academy, Bedisa Private, before her application to Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy was finally accepted, causing her to, notably, lose her collective shit because Randolph likes playing 'It's Fate' rules and she had to hold all her plans to move upwards to Bedisa's sister college until after the trial period, after which she would either cancel or go through with them depending on her results.
Grateful, yes, but she has half a mind to beat him with a broom when it's revealed.
Her first days at the Academy are actually pretty calm, due to her more solemn nature, even as a child, Joel and her kept in touch over the years, if infrequently, and they help each other throughout the first four or so days without much issue.
And then she meets Luca Orlem, and then everything goes to shit.
It should be noted that, personally, Lyra has no ill will towards Luca years down the line, that doesn't stop the pure, irreverent, rage that boils through her every time she thinks about him in the following weeks and months after the Tower of Sorrow incident.
They'll be good friends one, day, definetly, it it starts with a whole slew of things involving the Spring of Unicorns and near-murder, but that's not for another six months, and this is a now issue, and she's a teen, and she hates this green haired shit more than anyone, or anything, else for a long time.
No romantic attachments happen during that storyline, she's seathing in rage over Luca's preferential treatment and idiocy, Elias and her largely do not interact for most of this entire bullshit, and Yukiya is pretty much firmly put in the little box of 'Oh, Dear God, You Remind Me Far Too Much Of My Father To Ever Be Comfortable With A Relationship' but she does notably mention that he's attractive.
She pretty much makes it into the Academy by the skin of her teeth.
[And she still debates beating Randolph with a broom some weeks later when it comes up that her Rejection of Transfer towards Felixia College papers didn't go through properly.]
Then Joel loses his Magic and suddenly she's scrambling around for an entirely different reason, and things stop making sense pretty damn quickly.
[Meanwhile, everyone and their mother takes one look at Joel Crawford and realizes the boy is fucking gone.
Kids been like since they were six and Lyra gave him one of her rare, bashful, smiles, it's just that, now, the girl recipient to his affections in right in front of him.
Klaus calls him pathetic, Joel threatens to throw Leonelli at his fucking face shortly thereafter.]
And so on, and so forth, everything moves forward quietly progressing through the seasons, with added filler and unique storylines, until the ending date, and you know.
Lyra graduates.
At which point, their might be more, might not, there could even be less!
Who knows?
Certainly not fucking me.
[As an aside I keep imagining Lyra asking Schuyler and Luca why the latter doesn't graduate early and have the start of his world tour begin in a foreign country.]
