Liminal: Chapter One: Growing Pains

heyoooo, we have started a lil segway series between HtP and the next project about all the new characters that are taking the stage. Pls enjoy <3

cowritten by @lux-scriptum

Lev had thought bringing a new baby home and keeping Eden from killing him would be the hardest part of raising the both of them, but he had not considered the perils of potty training. A good six months had gone by, and Cruz was, thankfully, still alive. Eden, however, had turned her attention to her newest enemy: pants.

“You have to wear one of them,” Lev said patiently. “Diaper, training pants, or underwear.”

Eden folded her arms over her puffed out chest. “No. I don’t want to.”

“You have to,” Lev replied, taking in her bowlegged stance as if she didn’t stand just like that, stubborn as hell, every day. All day.

“I don’t think so,” Eden said, firmly.

Lev sighed, resting his hands on his knees where he sat on the floor cross-legged. “You have to wear something on your bottom,” he replied calmly.

“Why?”

“Because it’s rude to not wear clothes,” Lev said, as if they hadn’t had this argument three times this week already.

It was Tuesday.

“Why?”

Lev ignored Nik’s snort from the doorway.

“I don’t know, I don’t make all the rules,” Lev replied. “I just make some of them.”

“Daddy makes the rules,” Eden retorted. “No pants.”

“Well, we can ask him if wearing bottoms are a rule. Right now if you want?”

“No.”

Lev scooped her up, taking the three options with him. “You don’t even have to wear pants, just bottoms, but lets go ask your Daddy what the rules are about not wearing the bottoms, hm?”

Eden wiggled in his arms, trying to free herself. “No! I don’t want to!”

Lev adjusted his hold so she didn’t fall. “Well. You only have two options. Talk to Cameron, or put on one of the bottoms. I’ll even let you pick which one.”

Eden banged her head against Lev’s face. “They’re all stupid!”

“Well, they’re the only choices you have, bitty girl,” Lev said, eyes watering as he made his way down the hallway.

Eden screeched in his ear. “No!”

“Too late,” Lev told her, bumping the door of Cameron’s office open with the hip she wasn’t on. “Cameron, I need some assistance.”

Cameron succinctly sat his pen on his desk and leveled an icy look at them both in annoyed expectance.

“Eden doesn’t believe me that she has to at least wear bottoms,” Lev said, blithely refusing to acknowledge that their mere presence was upsetting Cameron’s schedule. Ideally they’d be out of his hair fairly quickly. “She did say you make the rules, not me, so I figured I’d confirm that she does indeed have to wear bottoms. Underwear, diaper, training pants. Something.”

Cameron blinked slowly at him, and then turned his attention to the wiggling toddler in Lev’s arms. “Yes,” he clipped out. “You need to wear bottoms, Eden.”

“No!”

“It’s the rules,” Lev told her, hitching her higher on his hips again.

Eden sucked in a deep breath and held it. She shook her head rapidly.

This again. Lev counted a few seconds, just to see if she’d give up on her own, but as she steadily grew greyer as the blood rushed to her face, he sighed. After taking a big breath, he blew it right in her face, gently enough all she did was splutter in annoyance. Still had to take a breath herself to splutter though.

“Pick, bitty girl, or I’ll pick for you,” Lev said with what he hoped was firmness, setting her warily on her feet.

“They’re all bad,” Eden announced.

“What would be good then?” Lev asked, crouching down to her level.

“No bottoms,” she said, firmly.

“Not one of the options,” Lev told her. He waited, thinking, knowing Cameron’s patience wore thin behind them, and then said, “If you pick some bottoms I’ll go get you a cookie. And if you put them on, I’ll get you a second cookie.”

Eden’s lips pursed and she held up three fingers.

“You can have a third cookie... if you say sorry for screaming in Cameron’s office.”

Eden folded her arms over her chest and plopped down on her bottom. “Three cookies.”

Cameron let out a sharp sigh. “Give her the three cookies and get out of my office so I can work.”

Lev shot him a look for undermining his tactics, but just looked at Eden. “Fine. Three cookies. Pick out your bottoms please, and put them on, and then we can go get them.”

Eden seemed pleased with the results and picked herself up off the floor and made her way over to the three options listed. She pursed her lips and eyed the three with all the scrutiny a three year old could muster. “These are bad,” she announced. “I want new ones.”

Lev heaved a sigh, even as he heard Nik snicker from the doorway. “Okay, bitty girl,” he agreed. “Let's go look in your room.” He held out his hand to her for her to take.

Eden took it and dragged him down to her bedroom where Nik was still waiting with Cruz propped on his hip in the doorway. Cruz eyed Eden wearily, his fingers in his mouth.

Eden’s newfound mission to get acceptable bottoms did not stop her from giving Cruz a death-glare. At least it had, for the most part, moved on from the looming threat of physical violence on Eden’s part. That didn’t stop Cruz, however, from hiding his face in Nik’s neck.

---

It was sunny out. Nik had decided to drag Nate here, and to have Cameron cook them a lunch to eat out in the backyard, if only because Cameron refused to let Nik cook. That and, well, Lev’s delicate sensibilities in regards to anything involving flavor.

He almost managed to get Cameron to hold Eden hostage for the day while it was just him, Lev, Nate and Cruz in the back. If only to give Cruz some peace without the threat of Eden eating him. Nik still wasn’t sure if he was joking or not.

Nik watched as Lev went about setting up the food on the blanket while they waited for Nate to grace them with his presence. Cruz, however, was enjoying sitting in the grass, trying to yank the grass out. If he was succeeding, it wasn’t very well. Though, the few pieces of grass he managed to wedge free, he tried to put in his mouth.

Only for Nik to fish them out.

Cruz blinked his silver eyes up at Nik, mustering up the best disgruntled look a one year old could manage.

“If you eat grass, then I have to eat grass, and if I eat grass then Lev has to eat grass and then all the food will just go to waste,” Nik said, poking Cruz on the nose. “Cameron would throw a hissyfit if all his work was for nothing.”

“I’m not eating grass,” Lev informed him, peering over at them as he closed the basket.

“See, Da isn’t eating grass,” Nik said.

Lev scooted over to settle next to them, kissing Cruz and Nik both on the cheek before carefully showing Cruz the signs for “no” and “eat” and “grass,” ever using every opportunity to teach. He repeated the movements a couple of times until Cruz made movements as best as a baby could. Not that any of them were experts yet.

Cruz blinked blankly at him, but soon after he mirrored Lev’s movements, if very slowly and clumsily. Nik reached over to kiss Cruz on the top of his head.

“What a smart boy.”

Lev smiled brightly. “He’s very smart,” he agreed. “Did you see him ask for more this morning?” As if Nik hadn’t been there too.

“He’s a growing boy,” Nik said. “He gets all the pears he wants.”

Cruz decided to go back to pulling at the grass, clearly running up the mileage on whatever attention span he had.

Lev reached out, carefully prying his hands out of the grass. “Don’t eat the grass,” he scolded gently, echoing his words again with the simple sign. “When is Nate getting here?”

Nik rummaged for the packed bowl of dried cereal to swap out. “Eat this instead, conejito,” Nik said, placing a few pieces in Cruz’s outstretched hand. Cruz wiggled his butt before immediately shoving them in his mouth. “He gets this from you.”

“From me?” Lev squawked.

“Mm.” Nik didn’t get much else of a chance to say anything when he sensed his brother. He looked up to see Nate slipping outside from the backdoors. “Ahh, here comes Tio Nate,” Nik said. “Just barely late.”

“Nikolas, be polite,” Lev hissed.

“I am being perfectly polite,” Nik said, loftily. “You just don’t have siblings.”

Lev considered that, and then chose to greet Nate instead, giving a little wave as he called his hello.

Nate pulled in his vibrant purple wings and offered Lev a polite smile, one that Nik knew was both as court polished as it was genuine. Nate somehow managed to maintain his genuinity no matter the audience he entertained- a complete contrast to Cameron who could become a completely different person when he had to perform. “Sorry I’m late, Silas had a question.”

“‘A question’,” Nik echoed, dryly.

Nate cut him an irritable warning look. “Yes,” he said. “A question.” He gave Lev a strained smile. “He sends his regards.”

It took Lev way too long to process what he meant. “Oh. Oh! Um. Thanks?” Lev handed Cruz some more cereal, looking down. “I hope he’s doing well?” The question sounded almost reluctant.

“He’s fine,” Nate said, with a gentle enough finality Nik was aware that Nate was growing bored entertaining Silas’ chronic kicked puppy status. He turned his focus to Cruz, who was still munching blissfully on his Cheerios. “This little one has waited very patiently for me to arrive.”

“Uh, I did too,” Nik said. “Lev though, was asking where you were. Very impatient,” he said, loftily. “Very rude.”

“Nik,” Lev squeaked, flushing a deep gold. “I wasn’t- that- Nik.”

Nate offered him a sympathetic wince. “You can just ignore him,” Nate said. “That’s what I do.” He leaned over and brushed his long, brown fingers through Cruz’s black hair; the corners of his eyes wrinkled. “He very much is the spitting image of Nik when he was this age,” Nate mused. “Big ears and all.”

“Excuse you,” Nik scoffed, cupping Cruz’s ears. “Neither of us have big ears. We both have perfectly normal sized ears on perfectly normal sized heads. Shut your treasonous mouth.”

“He did?” Lev asked, sounding way too enthusiastic to hear about this. “That’s so cute.”

“He could have used them to fly away,” Nate informed him, sincerely. “One strong breeze and he’d be lost forever.”

Lev smiled brightly, touching Nik’s ears lightly. “So you’re saying Cruz will grow into them.”

“He will,” Nate said, gravely.

Nik smacked Lev upside the head. “Don’t slander my baby like that.”

“Ow,” Lev said pointedly. “It’s not like I called him ugly. I think they’re endearing.”

Nik frowned deeply at him. “All of him is endearing. Including his normal sized ears.”

Nate snorted softly, and smiled when Cruz accidentally topped over his bowl of cereal. Instead of getting upset, Cruz started for the basket of food Lev had been starting to set out. “Are you going to get his ears pierced,” Nate asked, flicking his dark eyes up to Nik.

Nik scratched his cheek. “Yeah, I was thinking about after his next checkup with Ash. We’ll get some popsicles after.”

“You’re piercing his ears this early?” Lev asked, clearly startled.

Nik gave him a weird look. “You can get a baby’s ears pierced as young as two months old. It’s not like I’m branding him with a tattoo of a baby bottle.”

He watched Cruz settle next to the basket, where he started pulling out little snacks to munch on. Reaching over, Nik popped open the lid to the pre-cut blueberries and handed the container to him.

Nik had watched Cameron spend an unreasonable amount of time slice up all the blueberries for Cruz just so.

“What if he doesn’t want his ears pierced?” Lev asked, clearly baffled. “He’s too young to know that.”

“Then he can take them out when he’s too old to know that,” Nik replied, in the same tone, trying to keep any defensiveness out of his voice. “It’s a family tradition. We all had our ears pierced. Even Adrien.”

“Oh,” Lev said, clearly still a little confused. Still, he dropped the topic, settling next to Nik and dropping his cheek on Nik’s shoulder.

Nate decided to use this awkward moment to take the food out of the picnic basket and set up their plates. Cruz had his little baby appropriate food and they had Lev non-spiced approved food. Nik flicked Lev on the nose and leaned over and started to grab for some food.

---

Eden was about three when the nightmares started to become regular. Cameron rarely had to wake Lev up when Eden came looking for him anymore. He just rolled out of bed when the door creaked open and little feet started pattering across the floor.

Tonight was no different. He patted Nik’s arm when Nik mumbled at him, and shuffled out of bed to scoop Eden up, stepping out of the room so he could wipe her tears away. “Hi baby,” he whispered. “Are you okay?”

Eden sniffled and rubbed her bloodshot eyes. “I had a nightmare,” she mumbled.

“I’m sorry, bitty girl,” Lev said, brushing her hair out of her face. The thin white strands got stuck on the dark tear tracks anyways, but he managed to tuck it behind her ear. “Do you want to come get in bed with us? Or do you want me to go lay down with you for a while?”

Eden put her forehead on his shoulder. “Look for monsters,” she said.

Lev rubbed her back, heading back for her room. “I can do that,” he promised. He turned on one of the lamps, continuing to hold her as he poked around. He started with the easy things, checking the closet and in her toy bins, and worked his way to checking the dresser, stooping with her in his arms. At her little giggle with the motion, Lev hitched her closer, and bent to check under the bed, swinging her with him. “All done,” he announced cheerfully as she giggled again. He plopped down on her toddler bed, never once making her let go. “No monsters. Just you, me, and some dust bunnies.”

Eden gave a tiny yawn, but she said, “Sleep with me.” Sounded more like an order, than a request.

“Of course, bitty girl,” Lev promised, shifting so he could set her down. He stretched out beside her after tucking her in, handing her a well worn teddy bear. The ear she bit down on was almost worn though, but at least she’d stopped decapitating them a while ago. “I’ll keep the monsters away,” he added. “And I’ll leave the light on. You get some sleep, okay?”

Eden tucked herself and her bear against Lev’s side and closed her eyes.

It took less time than Lev expected for Eden’s breaths to even out. He supposed he could have gotten up then; the arm test proved she was, in fact, deep asleep. Instead he let his eyes droop as he debated these nightmares.

None of the dads were sure what exactly had triggered them. Every kid had nightmares every once in a while, but these were far more frequent than was normal. Ash had suggested a few things, asking about her diet and sleep schedule, and they’d adjusted things accordingly, but there didn’t seem to be any obvious cause for her bad dreams. The best they could do was comfort her when she had them, and reassure any fears she had when she woke

Pride Angels FAQ

What is Pride Angels?

It is my series of angel designs in the colors of different Pride flags. I am planning to make the Pride Angels into stickers, pins, keychains, patches, and lanyards. The campaign is planned for June 2024, after Angelology IV. You can follow the pre-launch page to be notified when the campaign launches.

Can you draw X for the Pride Angels series?

Before inquiring, please check that your request is not already complete! I am not taking requests for any new flags at this time, but read on for how you can request a Pride Angel during the pin campaign. After I complete this series this year, I am not planning to make any more Pride Angels.

About the Pride Angels design request pledge tier:

If you would like to request a Pride Angel, I will have a pledge tier available in the pin campaign to pay to request one. Outside these pledge tiers I will not be accepting any requests. Please save your requests for the pin campaign!

If you nab one of the design request pledges, you can request a flag and optionally suggest a theme or inspiration. If I shared a design you liked that I ended up not going with, you could request that too.

Where can I find the 2022 Pride Angels merch?

Most of the past Pride Angels have been discontinued in my main shops, but you can still find them as pins, stickers, keychains, and patches with my stockists.

I liked an old design better. Will the old designs be available during the campaign?

Depending on order quantity I will make the 2022 Pride Angels available as stickers, keychains, pins, and patches. If they don’t meet the order threshold they will not be funded.

Can I draw a Pride Angel too?

Of course, I don’t own angels or Pride flags! If I inspired you I would love to be tagged to see and share your design.

DAYBREAKERS: lila's lesbian found family heist genre bending wip

featuring friends to crushes to enemies to lovers, the obligatory undercover fake relationship fancy ball scene, a metaphorical and literal magical love interest, a lot of suits, sunsets, and a found family like you wouldn't believe, may i present DAYBREAKERS!

for fans of six of crows, mission impossible, and some disney princess inspiration. the genre is fantasy with a lot of modern quirks and fun gadgets. there's a train scene like the one in uncharted 2, and a mage with a collar and demeanor as stiff as zoya nazyalensky. genre means nothing to me.

THE PLOT:

two years after evelin left the daybreaker crew due to a job gone wrong, her former crew members interrupt the peaceful little life she's built for herself as a designer living on the waterfront. they have the nerve to bring along summer, the woman who betrayed them on that horrible, fateful day two years ago--consequently the most beautiful woman evelin has ever seen, in body and spirit, the one she once hoped to spend her life with--has a sibling in prison. they need to break them out.

they don't ask evelin to give up retirement from that life. she helps them get the money they do ask for, and then they go. she goes with them anyway.

being around the crew and summer again is easier than evelin thought it'd be, especially when summer reveals that night of her betrayal was all a terrible misunderstanding, and she committed no crime. as evelin & crew adjust to having a stiff royal cursebreaker in the midst of their questionably legal methods, and plot their way through the toughest prison on the continent to jude's rescue, evelin wonders if she hasn't missed her chance after all. if there really is a second chance to build something with summer, something evelin dreamed of before the split.

(the answer is yes, and her friends tell her so. repeatedly. gods damn it, ev.)

THE CHARACTERS:

evelin: the upper class pov fashion designer, the "eat the rich, but especially my parents" the stubborn but kindhearted bad boy gentleman lesbian every femme dreams of. aka the person i would like to be!

summer: some call her fireblood. some call her a queen. most just call her beautiful. but she's more than just a pretty face stuck in the honeypot role. she's wanted by the government. aren't we all, girl.

meredith: the leader. a former army child, she is a master negotiator. too bad she doesn't gamble, she has the best poker face in the country!

ruth: bisexual master lockpick, the logical short one who has her head screwed on straight (ha) the most out of all of them. also a former priest. i know, right?

bath(ozan'gog): ruth's demon boyfriend, he is not fully corporeal so he lives in ruth's shoulder. he is very scary and very helpful and threatening, indeed. mhm. no, bath, i'm being serious.

nell: meredith's spouse. driver of their getaway ship/motorcar. a person of few words and dad energy like you wouldn't believe, they have an honest heart. the physical worker of the bunch.

katirina volonov: royal cursebreaker brought onto the crew who has to adjust to their antics and maybe, just maybe loosen up a little once she observes this found family in action.

tagging @ashen-crest @magic-is-something-we-create @chayscribbles @dakrapatops out of interest! let me know if you'd like to be added to the taglist! i'm really excited about this one, and it goes to my irl bestie who has been begging me for another lesbian wip forever <3
