Chapter Text

After attending college for a month and a half Luz is getting help from Amity for a class assignment to get the shed scales of a tricky demon, Amity helped Luz catch it in no time.

Luz:That was so easy thank you Amity.

Amity: No problem I am always glad to help you.

As they were walking through the forest they heard a buzzing sound. They saw the source of the sound and it was a swarm of fire bees but they were a variant covered in blue fire. Before Luz could react Amity quickly hugged her as she made a pillar of abomination goo to entrap the fire bees before impaling them as she covered Luz and herself in a protective abomination dome.

Luz: Wow you were quick Amity. Amity?

Amity was clinging on to Luz and shaking, her eyes are glowing pink as she keeps muttering not again, not again over and over.

Luz: What is it hermosa(beautiful) speak to me!?

Luz kissed Amity on the forehead and she calmed down.

Amity: I am sorry, I had a flashback to the incident during Grom.

Luz knew what she was talking about. Their second time at Grom as a couple went fine until something unexpected happened. The Collector attended and he was enjoying Grom, Willow and Hunter just beaten Grometheus. However the worst scenario happened a piece ended up attacking the Collector. Everybody was scared of what they would see such as the former emperor, the warring titans, or the archivists, but it was none of that. The most traumatic thing the Collector has ever faced was seeing Luz disappear. However due to a strange reaction with the Collector everybody else namely Luz’s friends were stuck in the moment and they reacted like how Eda and King did when they saw Luz disappear. Gus’s eyes glowed blue as he inflicted on Grometheus every single defeat it has ever faced all at once, Willow whose eyes were glowing green made armor out of what looked like a entire forest to rip Grometheus apart, Hunter was moving around like a lightning bolt every time he struck Grometheus it looked like a lightning storm kept hitting it, Vee was inhaling magic nonstop as she felt she lost her beloved sister, and Amity with her glowing pink eyes was ripping the imposter of her Luz apart. Luz returned from the bathroom and saw what happened. She was able to calm everybody down and stop Grometheus with a blast from String Bean. After that the Collector turned Grometheus into a puppet so while it could still scare people it could never escape on its own again.

Luz: I am sorry those blue fire bees reminded you of that.

Amity: What kind of girlfriend can not be there to save you. That was a million times worse than me failing to protect you on the day of unity.

Luz: You did protect me.

Amity: You were the only one to get a scar, and you were protecting me when it happened.

Luz: Amity if it were not for you I would have lost an eye, arm, leg, or worse. The only reason I can stare at your golden eyes with mine is because of you. It is not like you failed how I did during Eclipse Lake.

Amity: Luz you were too sick to help me.

Luz: And you were out of magic during that time when we came back from the human realm.

Amity: I still had Ghost and glyph papers I could have protected you. What kind of girlfriend am I?

Luz: You are the girlfriend I love. Listen while we both know I will risk my life for those I care about I love you so much if you needed a heart transplant I would give you my corazon(heart).

From years of being with Luz Amity knows more than enough Spanish to know what she is saying.

Amity: But that is fatal.

Luz: And my only regret is I do not have a bile sac for you.

Amity: Luz you have a kind heart but even if you gave me your heart I would not have the sweet kindness you give me. I would tell you that you are being ridiculous but to be honest I would do the same for you, at least I would know you could use my bile sac to keep yourself safe and you can finally use magic on your own but I know you would not want that.

Luz: Of course I would not want that, Amity I have never told anybody this since it is so embarrassing but before I knew magic was real I believe the only actual real magic is love but if you were to be gone all the magic in my life would disappear even if I had a bile sac in me. This is going to sound cheesy and really embarrassing but I may not have a bile sac but my heart is filled with magic and that magic is my love for you.

Amity: That is ok I really love it when you get passionate like that especially if it is cheesy. You opened up about that but I have not even told you about this silly fear I got.

Luz: What fear?

Amity took a deep breath.

Amity: On a walk I saw a small demon with fur like your hair getting eaten then I had a nightmare of you getting eaten, knowing you even if something ate you I would not be surprised if you fought your way out, but I am scared of that happening. I know there are also dangerous animals in your world but I am so scared of it happening on the Boiling Isles which is why I said you have to take me with you whenever you will encounter a wild demon.

Luz hugged Amity.

Luz: I understand completely more than you know. Once when I was flipping channels I do not know what I saw a action movie, a documentary, or a horror movie but I saw a victim of violence with hair the same color as yours and I became terrified that some mugger on Earth will take you away from me. I know the Boiling Isles has criminals too and you would win a fight easily but I am scared of a violent tragedy would happen if you were on Earth alone that is why I insist on always going with you. I know it is stupid but I worry about you.

Amity: Wow we really do share many things, since you so honest I will tell you something I do not want to admit, not even to myself.

Luz: You do not have to.

Amity: No I must.

Luz was as quiet as she could be to hear Amity.

Amity: During that incident at Grom where I saw how I lost you I was not ripping apart the copy I was trying to free what I thought was you.

Luz: But you would have been a goner too.

Amity: If I could not save you I was fine with that, in fact I prefer it. Until the real you came back it felt like my heart has stopped for all I know it did and it only started beating again when you came back that is how much you mean to me.

Luz: Amity, you should save yourself not follow what happened to me, you have your own life.

Amity: Before I met you I did not have much of a life, in fact I was actually less of a puppet when the Collector turned me into an actual puppet. Listen Luz you have given me so much. Courage to confront the things I am ashamed of, the strength to get stronger in situations I never expected to overcome, the freedom to choose my own future, hope that things can get better, dreams I actually want to achieve, you have given me kindness when I did not deserve it, you have given me so much joy, and most of all you have given me so much love that I did not think was possible. If you were gone all that would go away and tell me Luz what is a person left with when all that is gone?

Amity started tearing up and Luz was wiping away her tears.

Amity: If I can truly choose my future I choose not to have one unless you are in it. What is wrong with me making it sound like your life’s purpose is to make me happy I am just as terrible as Odalia.

Luz: No you are not!!!

Amity was stunned by that.

Luz: You are not trying to control me or change me you just want to be with me and if my life’s purpose is to make you happy I am glad to be born for that. Amity just how you feel I feel the same way. At one point due to what happened on the day of unity I was thinking it was a mistake to be born, and as I told you before I did not want to go to the demon realm to keep you safe even if it made me sad, I did not believe I deserve that happiness but there was one thing that can genuinely make me happy even if I did not felt like I deserved to be happy and that was you Amity. I need you.

Amity placed her hand on Luz’s cheek.

Amity: Oh Luz.

Luz: There is more to it than that. One reason I am so attached to you besides the obvious facts you are amazing, beautiful, smart, cool, classy, and the fact we both love Azura is something I have not told you.

Amity: I am listening if you want me to.

Luz: Every positive relationship I got I had to earn. I never had somebody say hey can I be your friend or do you want to be my friend I always had to make the first step if anything good was going to happen which usually didn’t. However something amazing happened. Even though I fell in love with you and was doing my best so you would like me you told me something incredible after we started dating. You told me that you fell in love with me first, I was not trying to make you fall in love with me yet the impossible happened. You actually chose to love me, even with all my flaws some of which you actually love. I know it in my soul if you were to be gone I would never feel love again, I do not want to go back to existing in a state of nobody choosing to love me without me having to make them like me first only to fail. I do not want to be around unless you are around. It is not like I would rescue people from a burning building and stay behind, but the only reason I would not is it would make others sad. So I would stick around but not because I want to. Amity Blight my name may mean light but in my life you are my light.

Amity hugged Luz again.

Amity: I do not know why you are so attached to the girl who could not save you.

Luz: But you did save me that day twice.

Amity: What do you mean?

Luz: I will not lie when I disappeared it was one of the worst experiences of my life, but leaving King, Eda, you and the others behind that actually felt worse. But as bad as that was you prevented something even worse earlier. You prevented me from accidentally directly hurting the people I care about when you said that quote wrong. And trust me when I say that was the worse experience I ever had.

Amity: What is the second time you said I saved you?

Luz: During the fight I fought like my friends. I put on a show like Gus, I covered a lot of area in plants like Willow, and I zapped around in golden light like Hunter. But when the fight was about to end and I would free the isles from him my power was already going away so do you know what I did?

Amity shook her head to say no.

Luz: I was thinking of my awesome girlfriend how you covered you hands with your magic as I did the same with glyphs some of them were even glowing the same shade of pink as your magic. If I did not fought like you would I would have lost and the Boiling Isles would have fallen with me. The only reason my heart is still beating is because of you, and I love you with every beat of my heart. So Amity Blight thank you for saving my life that day.

Amity was stunned in silence. She hugged Luz as she cried, Luz was cradling her head against her chest.

Amity: We hugged each other a lot over the years but this is the first time I have heard your heart beating.

Luz: Does it make you happy?

Amity: Yes, I know this is weird but can I continue to listen to your heart?

Luz: Of course my heart is yours.

After embracing Amity for a while she calmed down.

Luz: If it is not too much to ask can I listen to yours?

Amity’s face got red from hearing this request.

Amity: Of course you are closer to my heart than my own bile sac.

Luz: Is that a saying on the Boiling Isles?

Amity: No, that is how I feel.

Luz smiled at her awesome girlfriend and she was now listening to Amity’s heart.

Luz: Wow I am surprised I can hear it.

Amity’s face became a brighter shade of red.

Amity: Luz I know I am grown up but you do not need to comment on them.

Luz: I was talking about your bile sac, but I can hear your heart clearly just fine.

Amity realized she just embarrassed herself. Luz looked Amity straight in the eyes.

Luz: I heard when people who are in love stare into each others eyes their heart rates would match up, I can feel my heart matching yours.

Amity: Me too.

Luz: I love you.

Amity: I love you too.

They shared a passionate kiss and an embrace before they decided to go back home holding hands.

Luz: I have a great idea.

Amity: What is it?

Luz: Well on Earth there are these watches that can monitor your heart rate so how about something like that for you so you can listen to my heart whenever you want.

Amity: I actually like that, but I do not want to seen as a weird stalker.

Luz: No, you are not and I would want one too to listen to your heart if that is ok with you?

Amity: I will not hide my heart from you, and I could make something with abomination engineering for that, but I do not want to experience your last heart beat, that is just too terrible.

Luz: Me neither how about I make something with glyphs to teleport us to each other in case of an emergency.

Amity: But what if we are both in a dangerous place.

Luz: Maybe a get out of danger teleporting glyph, oh it can be on a pocket watch, no a compass that is even better. But we need titan blood for it in the human world, but if we get it from King I would be no difference than that moldy emperor using others to prolong my life.

Amity: Listen Luz you are nothing like him and you can never be like him. You are not trying to live longer for a selfish reason, you are doing it for the ones you love. We can ask King if he says no that is fine we will accept that, and the fact that you can accept that is proof enough you can never be like that fungus.

They shared another kiss. They ended up meeting King who is with The Collector. King not only agreed to it but a thought appeared in his head and he wanted to find out if they wanted to be around forever, he is already the last of the titans and he could not handle being the last of his family. Luz agreed only if Amity wanted to and of course she wants to be with Luz forever. The Collector also agreed to help to spare King that kind of pain. Of course they would only try things that would not sacrifice anybody in the process. After a few years they succeeded by using a side effect of the tide pools that go through time amongst other things but it was not perfect and it had many surprises.

Many centuries later Luz and Amity are heading towards the feet of the Boiling Isles. They looked the same as their early twenties.

Luz: They should be here soon.

Amity: Well we got to help them.

A tall being flew down and landed near them, and he said in a booming voice ah two of my sisters. It was King he already towered over most demons but he was nowhere near his dad’s size and he grew his wings.

Luz: Hi King.

Amity: Good to see you.

The Collector arrived looking a bit older but to him it may have been a few months of aging at most, though it could be his hair cut or updated outfit making him seem a bit older.

The Collector: I can handle the falling meteor without a problem.

King: It would be better if we work together.

Luz: Are you ready sweet potato?

Amity: Of course batata(sweet potato).

They used the surprising side effects they gained from the method of immortality they discovered. Luz regained her titan powers though the glyphs were that of King’s. Luz also had this strange automatic effect in the event of danger in which glyphs would appear to shield her even if she was not in titan form. If injured a regeneration glyph combo or multiple copies of it would appear. Amity can become a being of abomination matter the size of a skyscraper covered in eyes that were glowing pink instead of being their usual gold color, some of those eyes would always keep an eye on Luz, unlike Darius’s transformation hers was an endless amount of abomination goo and she did not feel pain if injured as she will always regenerate. The four powerful beings dealt with the meteor before it could hit the isles. King’s shout blasted it apart, Luz used plant glyphs to catch all the pieces. Amity shielded the Boiling Isles with a massive wall of abomination goo, and the Collector turned most of the meteor pieces into food for the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles.

The Collector: Want to play ball with this piece? We can do it away from the isles.

King: Sounds good.

Luz: Well we stopped the disaster.

Amity: I will send the new food to the residents of the Boiling Isles.

She did so with the help of an army of abominations. These four powerful beings were now playing catch with what could have been a civilization destroying meteorite, but to them it is just four people playing.

Luz: Well we should go tell them the good news.

Amity: They probably already know.

King: Let me get ready.

King closed his eyes and something was crawling from his shoulder it looked like the golem jean-luc is but it is modeled after King. Due to his size he found a way to posses a copy of his younger self to interact with others better. While it is smaller he can still use his shout and glyph magic.

The Collector: Get on the star King I will give you a ride.

King did so as Luz and Amity decided to resume their original forms and walk together. The four of them may have discovered immortality but they did not keep the secret to themselves, although there always seem to be unexpected parts of the immortality they discovered. While illnesses and poisons can not kill them they can get ill for a while and despite being unaging their hair and fingernails grew. They also found out they can never cross the water in the space between spaces, which is fine with them since they still can with a portal. For the others immortality had some surprises. Eda is one as she did not want to orphan King. She found out she could now use her ability to come apart and back together to the extreme as she could turn to dust and reappear, a power she enjoyed using for fun. Raine is with her since they are fine with immortality as they know as long as Eda is with them they will never have a boring life not even an eternal one. Lilith is still keeping Hooty company. Vee is still around as well though when she heals the magic in the area gets drained though strangely she does not need magic from the area to heal it is kind of a defense mechanism and oddly enough it also weakens beings with no magic and it still works even on Earth. Vee still has Masha as they wanted to study magic and they were fine with learning just potions and Oracle magic since humans can do those kinds of magic. With them the unique traits they displayed are a kind of danger sense and when they heal they look scaly though this is probably due to the the fact Masha tried a potion earlier that day they became immortal not that they mind since it reminds them of Vee. Of course even with immortality not everything goes perfectly for a simple reason. Not everyone wants to be immortal. These immortal friends had to see love ones pass away who wanted more natural existences or who wanted to reunite with lost love ones. Still it was not the end as the four who discovered immortality found a way to communicate with the afterlife on the other side of the space between spaces. There is a ghost dimension after all so it was not impossible. Especially when you have a group that consists of the kindest of the Collectors, the last titan who is said to have surpassed his father by not giving life but eternal life, a cool and classy witch who studied all kinds of magic over the centuries, and one of the most creative humans ever.

As they were walking together holding hands as they are wearing the wedding rings with stones like the crystal in Azura’s staff that they used in their wedding day long ago Amity prevented Luz from tripping over a rock.

Luz: Thank you Amity.

Amity: Taking care of you is a full time job.

Luz: It is only for eternity.

Amity: And I would not have it any other way.

They kissed each other.

Luz: Later want to hear my heartbeat and after that I will listen to yours?

Amity: Always.

What a beautiful eternal love.

Chapter Text

This is set within one week after the Boiling Isles was saved and glyphs disappeared.

Amity who is dressed in her repaired clothing from the day of unity is getting ready to go help Luz clean up the Owl House after it was vandalized when they were on Earth. Amity got her purse and Ghost and was ready to head off.

Amity: Dad are you sure you do not need my help?

Alador: No I have enough Abominations to help around here go see Luz and tell her I said hi.

Amity hugged him and went towards the door.

The twins are there as well.

Emira: Are you sure you want her to go?

Edric: She should go, she nearly lost her.

Amity stopped and gripped the edge of the door trembling. In a quiet voice she said “not nearly”. She then left.

Emira was about to hit Ed but remembered he is still injured.

Emira: Ed why did you mentioned that?

Ed: Sorry I did not mean to be mean, you know I was also worried about Luz as well she is a fun person to be around, she is a good friend, and she makes our sister happy, I know we were all worried when we heard what happened.

Emira and Alador looked away as they could not disagree with him.

Emira: Dad are you sure you should let her go?

Alador: Yes, I learned the hard way if you can not be there for those who are important for you, you will end up regretting it. Now both of you come along we can gather some of the weapons and you can use some weapons to destroy other weapons.

The twins were excited by this, Alador was glad he can make his twin children happy but he hopes Luz and Amity will be happy as well.

Amity was walking to the Owl House remembering what happened yesterday. Luz explained what happened and Amity was able to get Luz and herself some privacy to talk. Amity hugged Luz crying saying you do not have to hold it in. While normally Luz would try and comfort Amity she felt she could not hold back anymore and she knows that Amity would still love her as Amity has seen her at her worst and she still loves Amity despite seeing her at her worst. As Luz and Amity were hugging they cried together, saying how scared they were of losing each other they then started comforting each other. They cried for hours until they went to sleep.

Amity wanted to support Luz more than she has before so she would like to get the others to cheer Luz up. However they have to deal with their own families and Gus and Willow are comforting Hunter. Last time Amity saw Vee she asked her to look after Luz when she is not with her. Vee automatically agreed to do this. They did decide on some plans within a week though, there would be a funeral for Flapjack although it will take a while for a headstone to be made. Amity thought of a bit of a gathering to cheer Luz up even if Luz seems better she wants to make sure her spirits are lifted. She was also wondering if Hunter needed one too but he said the funeral is more than enough. During the future get together the Hexsquad said to Luz that she could never be like that former emperor as she can feel guilt and she will do anything for her love ones, they also said what they truly felt about staying on Earth while they were stuck there and how they feel about Luz which is why they could not hate her for being tricked by the monster that tricks everybody. Gus said he got to experience Earth a real dream come true and he met a wonderful human named Luz who is another true friend. Willow said she saw so many plants that would never grow on the Boiling Isles it was like a fantasy and thanks to Luz she got back a friendship she thought was gone forever, and ended up on the track she always wanted. Hunter said that he truly felt comfortable in a way he never felt on the Boiling Isles and even though his time with Flapjack was too brief he is deeply thankful towards Luz for bringing Flapjack into his life. Vee said she was so happy that Luz was able to accept her for what she is and even brought many friends who she did not need to hide from. Amity thanked Luz for everything, for repairing a broken friendship, for giving her the courage to stand up to her parents, for bringing her joy, for loving Azura just as much as she does, and for loving her. They then hugged her, their circumstances for being stuck were not ideal but they would never trade the precious memories or time they spent together and for that they thanked Luz. But right now Amity and Luz are just going to clean the Owl House.

As Amity was walking towards the Owl House she saw Luz with Stringbean she is wearing her cat hoodie. Although now Luz has fluffier hair but Amity is not the same either as her hair is longer than when she last wore her attire from the day of unity. The two love birds hugged each other and kissed.

Luz: I am so glad to see you sweet potato.

Amity: I am glad to see you too. If you need to cry I am here for you.

Luz: I will be honest I could cry later this week, within a month, or even later today but right now I feel happy just to be with you even if we are removing graffiti together.

Amity was glad that Luz was genuinely feeling better, but if she is not she will be there for her. Luz informed Amity on what is the situation. Eda is getting back her things that were confiscated with Raine and Camila joined in to help as a form of thank you to Eda for taking care of Luz and to get to know her. This left Hooty and King to help as Lilith is checking up on her parents.

Hooty: Hoot Hoot our cleaning buddies have arrived.

King: Weh, nobody wants to be cleaning buddies, that is like trash buddies.

Luz: So we take care of the outside while you two take care of the inside?

Hooty: Sound good, hoot.

King: I can not reach too many places.

Amity: I will help with that.

Amity conjured a pair of Abominations.

Amity: You there help King when he asks for it, and nothing destructive.

King squees and climbed on one of the Abomination’s’ head.

King: March forward my gooey minion.

The Abomination moved forward as Hooty was now stretching to go inside as the front door became the new portal.

Luz: Awe thanks Amity I have not seen that happy look on his face for a while. Also what is the other one for?

Amity: Luz that one is for you.

Luz: Thank you, but even though I do not have glyphs any more I have Stringbean I will be fine.

As Luz was climbing up a ladder to deal with the gutters, Amity put her purse down.

Amity: Ghost now guard my purse so I will have the surprise ready for later.

Ghost meowed in agreement for doing this important task. Amity turned the abomination she made into arms so she has a longer reach for cleaning the Owl House.

Luz: Now how to clean the gutters quicker?

Stringbean hissed and turned into a mole and was digging through the gutters while Luz caught the trash in a bag.

Luz: Thanks Stringbean.

Stringbean hissed in delight as she was helping Luz. However as they were doing this a strange bug demon appeared and scared Luz. Luz fell off the ladder and as she screamed Amity made a cushion of abomination goo and dove to catch Luz which she did.

Luz: Thanks, Amity you saved me.

Amity closed her eyes and smiled as she was able to be there for her Luz. Luz saw Stringbean turn into a scorpion and was winning the fight against the bug demon.

Luz: You got this you little power noodle.

Stringbean felt like hugging Luz later after dealing with the bug demon.

Hooty: What was that outside? Hoot.

Luz: I fell because a bug demon scared me but it is ok Amity caught me.

Amity sighed eyes still closed happy to have helped Luz.

Luz: Eh Amity?

Amity: Yes Luz.

Luz: When you caught me it led to this situation and now I am kind of in an awkward spot.

Amity opened her eyes and saw where Luz was sitting, Amity screamed in panic turning red before she helped Luz stand up.

Amity: Sorry that was not my intention at all.

Luz: I know this was a surprise for everybody and I am not mad, now we should get back to work.

As Luz was going back towards the ladder Amity stared at her right hand due to what happened. Luz turned around to look at Amity.

Amity’s face got redder and she could only say I was not staring.

Luz: Listen Amity I know it was a accident, and also I do not mind if you stare, I am flattered and happy that you are interested in me but I rather you check me out when it is just the two of us.

Amity’s face got redder due to what Luz told her.

Amity: How about I go up there to take care of the gutters.

Luz: Sure.

After a quick hug Luz and Stringbean were taking care of the graffiti. Amity finished cleaning the gutters quickly. She sighed due to what happened, then through the window she saw Hooty as he was eating a rat and she got spooked. Amity screamed as she fell off the ladder but Luz caught her.

King: What happened that is like the third scream, in the last five minutes?

Amity: I just got shocked by seeing Hooty eating a rat.

Hooty: That is an important thing to do when you are cleaning.

King: Ah Hooty say no more, and eating rats is an important job of cleaning a house?

Hooty: Well getting rid of them is and you get a snack as well, hoot hoot.

Amity then noticed how Luz caught her.

Amity: Luz your left hand is on a certain area.

Luz screamed and put Amity down.

Luz: I am so sorry, I would never do anything like that, especially without your permission if you have to slap me please do it quickly.

Amity was extremely embarrassed but she took a deep breath and placed her hands on Luz’s shoulders and looked her in the eyes as she was going to say something that will embarrass her more.

Amity: Luz I would never hit you, let alone slap you. I know it was an accident and I know our relationship will change in some aspects with time although not anytime particularly soon, it is just at this point in time I am not ready for anything more than a hug and I am pretty sure you aren’t either.

Luz started blushing from what Amity said and nodded in agreement.

Luz: Call it even?

Amity nodded in agreement. After a long time of awkward silence they finished cleaning the outside. King and Hooty came outside as they were done too. They then sat down or in Hooty’s case laid down as they were done.

Amity: Ghost you can bring my purse.

Ghost meowed and brought the purse to Amity.

Amity: I made cookies, this bag of round ones are for King and Hooty and these heart shaped ones are for me and Luz.

King: Yay cookies.

Hooty: We should trade recipes sometime.

Amity: You can bake?

King: I know you are wondering how but even Eda said he is good at baking, unless he puts in sleeping nettles.

Hooty: Hoot, I was trying to help and she did found them tasty.

King: Less chatting more cookies.

Luz: These purple and white frosting covered cookies look great I can not wait to try them.

Amity: Thanks I did not know if I should make cookies or buns, I meant to say biscuits, biscuits not buns.

Amity’s entire face became red as she realized what she has just said.

Luz: Thanks Amity, I will always treasure chest what you do for me, treasure I meant to say I will always treasure what you do for me.

Luz’s face almost became as red as Amity’s.

King and Hooty looked at each other wondering what happened before they just shrugged it off and started eating more cookies.

Amity and Luz could not even look at each other, but despite this they were holding hands, although they were ignoring the fact the hands they were holding are the ones that touched them accidentally. Still even during this they were feeding each others cookies with their other hands, even if they could not make eye contact right now.

While they may have very awkward and extremely embarrassing moments together their love for each other will never diminish due to that.

Chapter Text

Set a few months after the Boiling Isles were saved Luz and Amity are in the back section of a bus heading towards an aquarium so they can go on a date. Luz is wearing a sea foam green shirt and jeans with tan sandals that are good for walking, Amity is wearing a navy blue dress and black leggings with purple shoes that are also good for walking. Amity has a purse with a can of mace, an inhaler, and a make up kit all filled with abomination goo in case of an emergency. She wanted to just bring a thermos but Luz said what could look like outside food may be a problem.

Amity: While I do not have a problem with you asking me to wear dark blue, I am wondering why did you ask me to?

Luz: Well I am wearing sea foam green and you are wearing navy blue which are colors associated with water and I thought it would be nice since we are going to an aquarium on a date.

Amity: That is sweet, but are you sure this will not be too much money?

Luz: No, remember I did well in that art contest and there were cash prizes.

Amity: You are right but what did you paint?

Luz: Luz said well I can give multiple paintings to submit in the contest as long as they were from different categories. Let me show you I have them on my phone.

Luz showed the first photo of one of her paintings it was of a majestic white tiger with bright blue eyes and coiling around it is a purple passion ball python a kind of ball python with a specific purplish pattern that has blue eyes. Both python and tiger were staring at the person who would look at the painting. They were not fighting but both gave a sense of harmony.

Luz: This one won second place and I modeled them after Stringbean and Ghost.

Amity: This looks really cool does this painting have a name?

Luz: I like to call it “Serpentine and Feline”.

Amity: So you have another winner?

Luz: Let me show you, I am especially proud of this one.

The next painting was of an erupting volcano, the fires were a shade of pink, the lava was a purple color, and there were pieces of shining gold being exposed.

Luz: This won first prize and it was in the scenery category.

Amity: Wow that is very beautiful what do you call this one?

Luz: I call it “Natural Beauty” and I modeled it after you.

Amity’s face became the same shade of red as regular lava.

Luz: The purple lava is your abomination magic, the pink fire is both the fire you make and the color of your magic, the flecks of gold are abomination eyes but their color are modeled after your beautiful golden eyes, and the eruption symbolizes your strength and how you can be in a fight fierce but so beautiful. The reason I call it natural beauty is no matter what you wear or what color your hair is to me you are always naturally beautiful.

Amity was still stunned.

Luz: Serpentine and Feline won 10,000 dollars and Natural Beauty won 20,000 dollars. Technically it is in my mom’s account but I am using it for dates, obviously not all at once and I could not have won them without you so even if our dates cost one hundred dollars I will take you on 300 dates. Though not all of our dates will be that expensive. Hopefully this will last until I get a job to take you on more dates and have a secured future with you.

Amity: Wow if you wanted to make me fall in love with you again you definitely achieved that.

Amity gave Luz a kiss on the cheek and Luz returned one on Amity’s forehead.

Luz: Thank you by the way do you want me to make you copies of them?

Amity: Yes but you do not have to.

Luz: It will be a pleasure.

Luz was thinking of ways to make them even better for Amity without changing their images and maybe give them as part of a birthday surprise for her.

Luz: We are here.

Luz and Amity left the bus holding hands and Luz gave the tickets that allowed them entry into the aquarium.

Luz: Since the seas in the demon realm are not too explored in comparison and you might be a bit wet behind the ears I thought I can be your guide since I know a lot of facts about weird sea creatures.

Amity: Guide away, and are my ears still wet from the shower?

Luz touched Amity’s ears.

Luz: No, they are dry it was an expression meaning your are unfamiliar with something and are you mad I touched your ears?

Amity: No, only you can do that, though I think you are going to make them more sensitive. Also I want to touch your ears later.

Luz: Of course.

As they were holding hands Luz lead Amity to the first tank. It was filled with starfish and next to them is a tank filled with sea urchins.

Luz: On the right there are starfish also known as sea stars and next to them are sea urchins.

Amity: Wait the stars and spiky balls are not decorations?

Luz: No, they are living creatures and they are related. Interesting fact starfish can spit out their stomachs to eat sea urchins.

Amity: Are you sure they are not from the Boiling Isles?

Luz: No, and good thing starfish can regenerate otherwise you would have to call them scar-fish.

Amity giggled at the joke.

Luz: And if you see one getting ready for cold weather you can call it a scarf-fish.

Amity burst out in laughter at Luz’s dorky joke.

Amity: You are a wonderful guide and are those trash slugs?

Luz saw Amity was pointing at the tank filled with sea slugs next to the sea anemone tank.

Luz: No, those are sea slugs they do not get that big, and there are some called nudibranches that eat sea anemones like the ones in the tank next to this one and they can take their poison and use it with the tentacles from their back.

Amity: So are they nearby?

Luz: They are too difficult to deal with in captivity.

Luz then took Amity to the jellyfish exhibit.

Amity: Luz am I seeing this right?

Luz: What do you mean?

Amity: Did somebody put a giant fried griffin egg in there? Oh wait I mean a giant fried chicken egg.

Luz saw what Amity was talking about.

Luz: No that is a fried egg jellyfish.

Amity: Wait it is filled with jelly but it looks like an egg?

Luz: No they call them jellies due to the fact they are mostly water.

Amity: I am starting to see why you got used to the Boiling Isles quickly.

Luz: What can I say liking weird stuff prepared me for a lot of demon realm weirdness.

Luz took Amity to the next exhibit and there was a large alligator gar.

Amity: That is one mean looking fish.

Luz: You are right about that, while it is not an ocean fish I am glad they have an alligator gar. They can have skin so tough a knife can not cut it.

Amity: I am surprised non-magical creatures can be that tough, but what is an alligator or a gar?

Luz: A gar is the kind of fish it is and an alligator is like a giant water lizard with a head like this alligator gar but much bigger.

Luz then proceed to use her arms while making biting sounds to mimic an alligator biting. Amity covered her mouth to hold back the laughter as she wiped a happy tear away from her eye.

Amity: You are such a dork.

Luz: And I am your dork.

Amity: Yes you are and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You can always make me smile, I wish I can do the same.

Luz: Just being next to you makes me smile.

Amity was blushing as Luz dragged her to the next exhibit which was the pufferfish exhibit.

Amity: Pufferfish, they do not look that puffy.

One pufferfish inflated scaring Amity and she clung to Luz.

Luz: Do not worry they are only dangerous if you eat them.

Amity: People eat them?

Luz: Actually some people in Japan eat them raw and leave enough poison to leave a numbing sensation.

Amity: But wouldn’t that be deadly if they mess up?

Luz: It happens which as you can imagine as somebody who normally like sushi I will stay away from that. And I am making sure you will never eat that.

Amity: Yeah I do not know if I would be immune to that but I am definitely not going to risk it.

Luz: Which is why I am glad there are no tide pools that you touch the aquatic life in this aquarium since I do not know what things that would not be dangerous could be toxic to you.

Amity: Wow you put in a lot of thought on this date.

Luz: Yes it was easy though since there are two elements I love, which are weird sea creatures and more importantly you so I will do my best to keep you safe.

Amity’s face became red as Luz said how important she is to her and how much she loves her.

Luz: Oh we have to see that one.

They walked towards a nearby tank.

Luz: This is a Japanese spider crab.

Amity: I thought it would look more like a spider.

Luz: I think they call them that due to their long spider like legs.

As Luz and Amity were walking by a tank a shark scared Amity and she was holding on to Luz again.

Luz: Do not worry it can not get you.

Amity: Sorry that I am a scaredy cat today.

Luz: You are more of a cute kitten to me.

Amity’s entire face became red.

Luz: Oh can you see the octopus in there?

Amity: They are like some small krakens right? I do not see them.

Luz: I saw it move, I can tell you where it is.

Amity: No, I will figure it out.

It took Amity a few minutes to see it and during that time Luz was thinking how cute Amity is when she gets obsessive like this.

Luz: Hey there is a replica of a blue whale.

Amity saw the replica and her eyes widened.

Amity: Is that a Titan fish?

Luz: It is a mammal not a fish and it is the biggest creature to have ever existed on Earth.

Amity: So this is the closest Earth has to titans.

Luz: Well in size yes and they are still around.

Amity: What do they eat?

Luz: They basically have toothbrushes for teeth and eat tiny little shrimps.

Amity: How can they eat so little?

Luz: Well they eat a lot of them.

Luz saw the time.

Luz: Hey we should get to the show.

Amity: Show?

Luz: There is a show with some trained seals.

As Amity was being dragged by her Luz she wondered what is a seal? They both made it in time and they sat far away from the other people on the bleachers.

Amity: We are high up.

Luz: Sorry about that, but we can see everything from up here.

Soon the show started and a grey seal appeared.

Amity: A Selkidomus!

Amity tackled Luz and covered her as she made sure Luz did not hit her head on the bleacher. Fortunately nobody noticed them as everybody else was both too far away and were focusing on the seals performing.

Luz: Calm down that is a seal they can not shoot spikes they can only bite and squish you.

Amity: Sorry about that.

Luz: Hey sweet potato?

Amity: What is it my batata(sweet potato)?

Amity placed her hands on Luz’s shoulders.

Luz: You are kind of pining me down.

Amity became flustered.

Amity: I am so sorry.

She helped Luz sit back up.

Luz: It is ok, I am glad you were protective of me. Also can I talk with you about something?

Amity: Sure.

Luz: Ok I am a bit worried why I like what you did so much. Was it because of you protecting me? Or was it due to you looking great in the sunlight, was it due to the angle, or maybe it was something else?

Luz has seemed to be composed all day but not anymore, she became a flustered wreck to the point she did not realize what she just said. Not that this made Luz any less wonderful in Amity’s eyes.

Amity: We can discuss it later and maybe find out why you liked it.

Luz: Sorry for being such a weirdo.

Amity: I may have reacted the same if our positions were reversed.

As Amity said this her ears became red. They then watched the rest of the show.

Luz: Well that was fun, I hope it got your seal of approval.

Amity laughed at Luz’s joke.

Amity: The show was nice but I rather see your comedy act.

Luz: Hey since it is close to dinner time do you want to eat, there is a restaurant here.

Amity: Great, I had a light lunch.

Luz: Wonderful, let us seal the deal.

Amity laughed again at Luz’s wordplay. Luz took Amity to where the seafood restaurant is.

Luz: Hello a table for two please.

Waitress: Right this way.

The waitress led them to a table. Instead of sitting across from each other they sat next to each other.

Amity: I know couples usually sit across from each other but I wanted to be next to you.

Luz: This will make the date better.

Amity smiled as Luz said that.

Luz: Do you want me to order for you or do you want to pick something?

Amity: I trust you to pick.

Waitress: What can I get for you?

Luz: I have this coupon.

Luz took out her Azura themed wallet and gave the coupon to the waitress. The waitress looked at the coupon.

Waitress: Alright that would be a 20 percent discount on an appetizer, two main courses, and two desserts.

Luz: For an appetizer can we get a large order of calamari, and can we get two sodas?

Waitress: Of course and do I take your main course order when you are ready when I return?

Luz: Yes please.

The waitress left to get their appetizer.

Amity: That Azura themed wallet looks so cute.

Luz: Thanks do you want me to help find one for you or how about a Hecate themed one?

Amity: A Hecate one please and you are being extra nice today.

Luz: I just want to impress you.

Amity: You always impress me.

Luz: Sorry if the coupon makes the dinner seem cheap, my mom told me about it and I thought saving some money was a good thing.

Amity: I do not mind at all, plus you will save money for future dates and I know we will both look forward to that.

Luz blushed as she looked through the menu, soon the waitress brought the order of calamari with two sauces and drinks.

Waitress: Do you have an idea for your main courses?

Luz: Yes the tilapia with French fries and the salmon with rice.

Waitress: They will be ready in fifteen to twenty minutes.

The waitress left to attend to other customers.

Luz: It is a good thing I know you can handle, rice, French fries, and fish.

Amity: So tilapia and salmon are kinds of fish.

Luz: Yes, they are.

Amity: So who gets what?

Luz: If you do not mind I was thinking we share both.

Amity: Of course I do not mind, I love sharing with you.

Luz: Great.

Amity: So what is calamari?

Luz: It is fried squid tentacles, I thought tentacles would remind you of home.

Amity: You are so thoughtful. Well time to try them.

Amity took a bite of the calamari and she liked it.

Amity: These are so good.

Luz took a bite of one as well.

Luz: I know these are great.

Amity: I wonder how it will taste with ketchup.

Amity dunked a piece of calamari in the red sauce.

Luz: Wait that is not ketchup.

It was too late and it was actually cocktail sauce. Amity was surprised by this flavor. Luz gave Amity her soda with a straw into her mouth to help her deal with the sudden surprise.

Amity: Thank you Luz, and sorry you had to use your soda.

Luz: It is no problem the refills are free plus we can share drinks if you are alright with indirect kisses.

Amity had a small blush on her cheeks.

Amity: We are sharing and I would never have a problem with kissing you. So what did I eat?

Luz: That was cocktail sauce it has quite a kick to it and it is usually served with shrimps but here they have it with calamari as well.

Amity: Maybe I should try the ranch.

Luz: That is tartar sauce.

Amity: Does it have a spicy quality?

Luz: It is more of a sour sauce.

Amity: That I can handle.

Amity did like the tartar sauce better although she also had some of the cocktail sauce again since she was more prepared for it and she did not want to deprive Luz of the tartar sauce. Luz found this to be cute.

Waitress: Here are your orders and are you ready to order for dessert?

Luz: Yes now are the strawberry cake and the brownie dairy free?

Waitress: Yes they are.

Luz: Great one of each please.

Waitress: They will be ready in twelve to fifteen minutes.

The waitress left to give the bill to some other customers.

Luz: Hey Amity should I put lemon juice on both after we try a plain bite of both?

Amity: Sure, and is this ketchup or more cocktail sauce?

Luz: That is ketchup to go with the French fries.

They enjoyed their main courses together. Trying the French fries with the three sauces they have and of course they gave each other pieces of food from their own forks. Luz was more partial to the tilapia as Amity liked the salmon better. Both of them made some notes about this for future references. The waitress arrived and gave them their desserts along with the bill.

Luz: I hope you have enough room for desserts.

Amity: I do and you picked out some great ones.

Luz: Well chocolate and strawberries are romantic foods.

They enjoyed their desserts together especially as they spoon fed each other. These desserts were sweet but their time together was even sweeter.

Luz left the money and waited for the waitress to return after she and Amity finished their food.

Waitress: I hope you enjoyed your meals.

Luz: Yes we did.

Amity: Thank you for the service.

Luz: I hope you enjoy the tip.

The waitress looked at the tip.

Waitress: Thank you very much and if I may say so you two are a lovely couple.

Luz and Amity said in unison thank you.

Amity: So where to next?

Luz: We are going to the gift shop.

Amity followed Luz as she saw where it was on the directory earlier. They soon entered the gift shop.

Luz: Pick what you want and I will get it for you.

Amity: You are too good to me.

Luz: You deserve it.

Amity looked around as Luz was by her side. Amity wondered what she should get, a plushie, or a piece of jewelry perhaps. She then saw what she wanted, it was a book. She looked through it and knew she must have it.

Amity: I would like this one.

Luz saw it was about deep sea creatures.

Luz: Good choice but why?

Amity: The fish with lights reminded me of you.

Luz blushed a bit even if angler fish were not that pretty she took it as a compliment.

Amity: Also I hope we can read it together.

Luz: I would love to. And speaking of love I hope you will love this.

Luz showed Amity two identical bracelets with golden starfish on them.

Amity: Those look nice, what made you think of those?

Luz: Well as I was looking for something matching these golden starfish reminded me of your eyes.

Amity blushed.

Amity: Funny they remind me of you.

Luz: Was it because of the starfish jokes earlier?

Amity: Well those were a pair of funny and pleasant memories but those stars remind me of how bright you are.

Luz: I am not that bright.

Amity: You are and you shine brighter than any star to me.

Luz was stunned for a bit until Amity hugged her.

Amity: Thank you for today.

Luz returned the hug.

Luz: Thank you for making this a happy day.

They bought the gifts and were wearing their matching starfish bracelets as they went back on the bus.

Luz: I am glad the date went well.

Amity: Sorry for what happened earlier.

Luz: Everything was wonderful to me you were happy, we were together, and you hugged me a few times.

Amity: I feel the same way.

Luz and Amity pressed their lips together as they gave each other a passionate kiss. In the privacy of the back of the bus they discussed what Luz liked about what happened during the seal show and they decided to privately reenact it to see what she liked. They would have another passionate kiss as they departed and went to their separate homes but they both know they will have more to look forward to on their next date.

What a lovely date at the aquarium for Luz and Amity.

Chapter Text

When they are nineteen and after they moved in together Luz and Amity are returning to their house after grocery shopping. It took them a while as they went grocery shopping in both the human and demon realms.

Luz: I am glad the foods we can both digest were on sale.

Amity: I wish I could have helped pay in the human realm.

Luz: Amity you provide enough income, plus I am just happy spending time with you and the extra pair of hands is always a bonus when grocery shopping.

Amity: I know it is just you help provide money in both the human realm and the demon realm.

Luz: Trust me without you I would not have been as successful as I am.

As they were talking a stray ball was heading towards Luz. Amity made an abomination gauntlet on her hand and caught it. The demon child who kicked it apologized. Amity rolled the ball back to her.

Amity: Please be careful from now on sweetie.

The demon girl nodded and went back to her friends.

Luz: How did I get so lucky having a girlfriend with great battle and maternal instincts.

Amity blushed a bit and she had a small smile on her face.

Amity: Yes I also wonder how I got a girlfriend with great maternal and battle instincts.

Now Luz was now the one smiling and blushing.

Luz: I should keep a look out.

Luz used the small crystal ball accessory she carries and was looking out for any incoming problems with Oracle magic.

Amity: Luz I am pretty sure we are not going to get hit by another ball.

As they were nearing their house Luz stopped for a bit.

Amity: What is wrong?

Luz: Can you take the groceries I am carrying inside, I have to deal with a pest that you do not want to deal with.

Amity: Should I be concerned?

Luz: Please trust me I will be fine.

Amity did though she did say she will help if it is something bad, and Luz agreed. After Amity went in with an Abomination carrying the groceries Stringbean who was pretending to be a necklace started floating next to Luz. Soon they saw what was the pest was. She had more grey streaks in her hair but she still gave the same unpleasant presence she always had, it is Odalia.

Luz: What are you doing here?

Odalia: Amity has not moved on to somebody else yet? That poor girl is really lost without me.

Instead of getting mad Luz whispered something to Stringbean. Stringbean nodded and transformed into a mole and climbed down Luz’s back and down her pants leg before digging underground. Odalia did not care enough to notice.

Luz: I will ask again why are you here?

Odalia: I do not have to tell you.

Luz: You have heard about the grand invention Amity made that will get her income for years to come and you thought of a business partnership or are trying to get her to invest in whatever you are doing right?

Odalia: Well now that you know I will speak to her.

Luz: Who can say if she is here or not.

Odalia: I use Oracle magic I can tell if you are lying and I can find out where she is.

Luz: I am surprised you do not want to ask me to be an investor.

Odalia: Why in titan’s name would I do something as foolish as that?

Luz: I make as many snails as she does.

Odalia: How does a magic-less human have that kind of income?

Luz: An imaginative human who knows a lot of strange Earth facts and is an anime fan has a lot of ideas that can be put into writing.

Odalia lost interest as she had no interest in those subjects.

Odalia: Maybe Amity can get you to also invest in the business opportunity I am so graciously offering her.

Luz: You know what is the saddest part.

Odalia: What is it the fact Amity has not found a powerful witch to be her partner yet?

Luz took a deep breath ignoring that.

Luz: The saddest thing is you have never seen all the facts that make Amity amazing. All you ever saw was just a business asset.

Odalia: Like what exactly?

Luz: How about the fact she is an amazing artist. The fact she is an excellent baker and an amazing chef overall. How she can help you when you are at your lowest. The fact that she is so much stronger and powerful than you would think in ways besides her usage of magic. And the fact she is good with children and we all know she did not learn that from you.

Odalia: I should finish my proposal while there is still daylight.

Luz: Besides Alador the only one she can call a business partner is me so you will not have a chance, just give up.

Luz does help Amity with a variety of things related to her job, well jobs just as Amity helps Luz with her jobs.

Odalia: Oh please she will turn around as soon as she hears about this business opportunity.

Luz: Do you know what I have from Amity that you don’t and never will?

Odalia: What love and respect?

Luz has a smug smile on her face.

Luz: That and her financial aide.

Luz hit Odalia where it hurts. Though to be told the truth even if Amity did not have any income at all Luz would not care in the slightest she would have Amity and she is easily worth more than all the money in the demon and human realms combined.

Odalia: That is it, I am going to talk with her it is not like I need your approval.

Luz: Are you sure about that Mamadalia?

Odalia froze as she heard that name. As Luz was trying to hold back her laughter.

Odalia: What did you say? And how do you even know about that?

Luz: The Collector is a good friend of mine, he told me how you used to clean up after him and get pizza bagels but sadly it seems not even a god like being can make you a decent mother, well I guess even gods have limits.

Odalia: That is it you are going to pay for that brat, I will not be insulted by somebody who can not even use magic.

Odalia made an apparition come out from her necklace. Luz grabbed a potion from her pants pocket and she was winding up like a baseball pitcher. She tossed the potion into the apparition’s mouth and the potion broke releasing a pungent smoke cloud. Luz still has her throwing skills from her time being on a baseball team with Vee. As Odalia was coughing Luz used her crystal ball accessory and started the next part of her plan she had in mind.

Odalia: So you do not just have that paper magic.

Luz: They are called glyphs and I guess this makes me a better witch than you are.

Odalia was enraged.

Odalia: That is it you magic-less brat!

Odalia was about to grab her crystal necklace when the apparition snuck behind her and took it. However it was not her apparition as unlike hers with a blue eye and a purple coloration this one was more shadow like with a golden eye. This one was Luz’s and it handed her Odalia’s necklace which made her apparition disappear.

Luz: I guess this makes me the better Oracle too which is saying something since I have trouble planning ahead but at least I am aware of my surroundings.

Odalia: Do not think that I am helpless without that.

Before Odalia could make a spell circle Luz had her apparition restrain her and it was lifting her above the ground.

Luz: You know I am tired of dealmakers that will betray you without of second thought. Though I was able to get rid of the worst one ever that fooled you. And even though I am sick of people like you Amity has been sick of you far longer than I have been sick of lying dealmakers.

Odalia: You think Amity would forgive you for treating her mother like this?

Luz had her apparition float Odalia closer to her.

Luz: You are not her mother, not anymore, and by the way you treated her I doubt you ever were. I have a lot of reasons to hate you, you got my friends and myself expelled, you tried to eliminate me, and you tried to get Amity to dump me but do you know why I do honestly hate you?

Before Odalia can say something Luz used her crystal ball accessory and had her apparition spit out another apparition to cover Odalia’s mouth.

Luz: The reason I truly hate you is because you made so much of Amity’s life miserable. Now after this I do not want to see you anywhere near here ever again, or no more Mr.nice guy.

Odalia did not get the reference. Luz had the apparitions put Odalia down.

Luz: Here..

Luz tossed back the necklace towards Odalia.

Luz: Watch this.

Luz grabbed a piece of paper with King’s fire glyph on it from her over-shirt pocket and blasted the necklace, shattering it.

Luz: I never said I was giving it back.

As Odalia was enraged by Luz she felt some fear as soon as she saw Luz was now holding Stringbean in staff form.

Luz: I did say you were not aware of your surroundings. Now go away and do not come back or next time I will send you somewhere worse.

Luz tapped the bottom of her staff on the ground. The whole time Luz was talking to Odalia Stringbean was crawling on the ground in the form of a large scorpion drawing a teleportation glyph combination using King’s glyphs. After she tapped it Odalia was teleported away. Luz then told her apparitions to get rid of the glyph combo. Luz exhaled as she took care of the problem. As Luz turned around she saw Amity charging towards her.

Luz: Please do not be mad.

Stringbean was now floating in the air as Amity tackled Luz in a hug as she also made a cushion made of abomination goo. Amity was now passionately kissing Luz who returned the kiss. They kissed for a long time, they actually practiced this as once they wanted to see how long they can do this and they found out for hours if they need to, though this time was much shorter.

Luz: Did you have apple blood mixed with a love potion?

Amity: I do not need those to be this much in love with you.

Luz: You are not mad about how I meddled in your family affairs?

Amity: She is not part of my family, you are, I mean you will be, I mean you know what I mean.

Amity’s face became red as she said this.

Luz: Yeah I understand.

Amity tried to change the topic.

Amity: Luz you were so cool.

Luz: I was trying to keep your promise as you said you were never going to talk to her again.

Amity: You remembered that I told you that?

Luz: Of course I do.

Amity was covering Luz in kisses.

Amity: Where did you send her anyways?

Luz: The knee.

Amity: Oh I heard there is a blizzard going on there.

Luz: Should I apologize or not?

Amity: No you definitely should not, I would have thrown her into the Boiling Sea myself if she had hurt you.

Luz: You heard everything?

Amity: Since the beginning, you were so awesome Luz.

Luz: Well I was thinking on how you would talk to her, you are better at insults my plum haired and rose cheeked beauty.

Amity chuckled.

Amity: And you are a poet my love. I am going to make any dessert you want tonight.

Luz: I thought you were already going to make a dessert for tonight?

Amity: You are right so how about I give you something sweet right now?

Amity kissed Luz. They continued to kiss as Amity made the abomination cushion grow insect legs to walk them into the house. They took off their shoes, as Amity left on the table her concealment stone she used to go to the human realm and her ponytail holder as Luz left her crystal ball accessory. The abomination cushion left them on the couch before being returned to a container.

Amity: Sorry you had to deal with her she has caused so many problems.

Luz: Yes but some of those problems can have good surprises.

Amity: Like what?

Luz: Well if you did not rescue me from the abomiton I might have not started crushing on you.

Amity: I can not believe I said stay away from my Luz, you know I always did felt like you were my light I was shocked that your name actually means light when you told me what it meant.

Luz: Amity trust me when I say I was and always will be very happy to be your light, although I felt I was in shock when you rescued me you were so cool and amazing although you still are and forever will be cool and amazing. Why when I close my eyes I can easily remember how I felt when you rescued me that day.

Luz did close her eyes remembering how she felt when Amity saved her. Amity was hugging Luz as she adjusted herself to hear better. Luz did not have to ask or even open her eyes to know what Amity was doing. Amity was listening to Luz’s heart as she is reminiscing about when she first had her crush on Amity. Luz simply cradled Amity’s head.

Luz: How about when you were first crushing on me.

Amity sat up on the couch.

Amity: Well I did wanted to ask you to Grom but when I really felt like I was crushing on you it was after our dance.

Luz: Sorry I could not defeat Grom.

Amity: Neither of us could have defeated Grom on our own.

Amity stretched her arms like she was going to give a hug with her eyes close and a smile on her face.

Amity: Although the fact you wanted to dance with me after seeing the torn letter meant so much. I can picture it so easily and remember how I felt that night.

Luz was hugging Amity’s waist and listening to her heartbeat as Amity was listening to her’s earlier. Amity was hugging Luz with her eyes closed as she knew Luz was going to listen to her heart as well.

Amity: Do you remember when you fell in love with me?

Luz sat up as Amity opened her eyes to look at Luz.

Luz: We will always remember that day. It was when you kissed me on the cheek, I did not know somebody could be interested in me like that. You literally made me weak in the knees.

Amity: Sorry about that.

Luz: Trust me you shouldn’t be and I was in so much shock I was wondering how I can get into your heart even though you told me I already snuck into your heart, It is just as you know nobody has ever been interested in me so I had trouble processing it especially since I did not consider myself good enough for you. So how about you tell me when you fell in love with me.

Amity: Well as you know I was very confused about my feelings and it was right before I gave you the kiss I sorted them out a bit after knowing what you were willing to go through for me, I knew you were the right choice. Although I never been in love before so I acted impulsively and that combined with my worry about not being good enough for you made me say something dumb the next time I saw you like you should forget about that kiss.

Luz: And later we confessed to each other that same night.

Amity: That was a dream come true.

Luz: I agree.

Amity: You know Luz we did not have a perfect beginning to our romantic relationship.

Luz: And our romantic relationship is not like one from a fairy tale.

Amity: Nor did we have love at first sight.

Luz: And we did not start crushing on each other at the same time.

Amity: But we did both confess to each other at the same time.

Luz: And we fell in love with each other at the same time.

Amity: We are each other’s one true love.

Luz: And we are each other’s soulmates.

Amity: I love you, my Luz.

Luz: I love you, my cotton candy haired goddess.

They passionately kissed each other once more.

Amity: So how about I get dinner started I was thinking human realm burgers and fries. Oh and how about I put some avocados in them?

Luz: That is a good idea, those tend to get old quickly.

Amity: So what do you want for dessert?

Luz: How about a lactose free milkshake like we had on our first human realm date?

Amity: We do have more than enough ice cream we can both eat for that. So do you want to share it again?

Luz: Of course, though I think we should make seconds.

Amity: Sounds great to me, it was hot today. And will you help me in the kitchen?

Luz: Of course, I will always help you in whatever you need help with.

The two of them made their dinner for them and their Palismans. Though Luz and Amity flirted nonstop while they were preparing it they are so in tune with each other to the point that this will not impede their cooking time.

While some unpleasant things may come from the past Luz and Amity will always have more than enough good memories to overshadow them.

Chapter Text

After they both have been 15 for a few months now Luz is waiting outside the portal door for Amity to go on a clothes shopping date. Luz is wearing a white shirt, jeans, a red baseball cap backwards, and sneakers. Soon the portal door opened and Amity walked out. She is wearing a long purple skirt with black leggings and matching shoes, her black shirt was covered by a large black jacket which is odd since the weather is not cold but Luz thought maybe she is carrying abomination goo in there in case of an emergency.

Luz: Amity!

Luz jumped towards her ready to hug her but Amity sidestep away but she did make sure Luz would not fall. Luz has wondered why Amity has been hugging her less but Amity held her hand and kissed Luz on the cheek so obviously she still loves Luz.

Amity: Sorry I am a bit late you did not worry did you?

Luz: Amity I know you like to be on time but I will not panic if you are five minutes late. Though I would worry if you were twenty minutes to half an hour late since I love you and I want you to be safe.

Amity: I love you too, now on to our date.

Luz: I will take you to that new clothing store that opened up.

Soon they were taking the bus to the new store. They sat in the back like they usually do.

Luz: You are fine in that jacket right it is kind of warm today.

Amity: Yes Luz I am fine.

Luz: Well I know it is not a problem in the Boiling Isles since you would not have come here if the weather was too bad.

Amity: Though I would contact you to tell you I am not coming.

Luz: I know and I would do the same for you.

They soon arrived at the store, it was certainly much bigger than the store the rest of the Hexsquad went to when they first arrived on earth. Though it was in the next town over and it was close to another town so it was a bit far away.

Luz: So I memorized the layout of the store so tell me where you want to go first.

Amity: Actually there is only one kind of clothing I am interested in.

Luz: What is it shoes, jackets, maybe hats?

Amity: More like need actually.

Luz: What is it?

Amity stayed silent.

Luz: Amity you need to tell me so I can take you there.

Amity took a deep breath and softly said the following.

Amity: I have gotten a bit older and my torso feels constrained.

Amity’s face became red as she said this. Luz understood what she meant.

Luz: I will take you there.

Amity’s face stayed red as Luz slowly took her to the undergarments section.

Luz: Now can you tell me which size section I need to take you to?

Amity stayed quiet.

Luz: How about you whisper it to me and I will whisper my size to you, does that sound fine to you?

Amity nodded yes and whispered and after this Luz whispered back.

Luz: Alright I will take you there.

Amity froze for a bit after they whispered to each other.

Luz: Did my breath tickle your ears?

Amity: No, I am fine let’s go.

Luz then took Amity to the correct section.

Luz: So is there any style or color you want?

Amity: Actually I can take care of it myself.

Luz: I get you, you do have a better style sense than me I would probably pick something too nerdy or dorky.

Amity: That is not it at all, it is just a bit awkward if you know what I am wearing underneath, I know you know I am wearing clothing like that but still.

Luz: Understood you are entitled to privacy, I will turn around and make sure nobody tries to peek at you. So think of me as your sentinel.

Amity chuckled and smiled a bit.

Amity: Thank you my fearless sentinel.

Luz: Think nothing about it my honorable princess.

Amity laughed and had a bigger smile on her face. Amity hummed as she was picking clothing as Luz kept a look out for her.

Amity: Alright I am going to the changing rooms so can you please keep a watch out after I get in.

Luz: Sure thing my lady.

Amity laughed a bit once more. Luz kept a watch out fortunately they were the only customers in that section of the store.

Amity: Luz I am sorry about this.

Luz: About what exactly?

Amity: Normally when girlfriends go out and are getting new clothing they show them off for each other but I just can’t.

Luz: I know what you mean that is a bit too much for our relationship right now.

Amity: Yes thank you for knowing what I mean, though I feel bad for making you pay for it.

Luz: Amity this is a date and you are not making me do anything. Also I understand what you are feeling, I would be way too bashful to wear that type of clothing in front of you.

Amity: Exactly, I just can not wear that little in front of anybody even you, at least at this point in our relationship.

Luz: I totally get you, the most or perhaps the least I can wear in front of you is a tank top or a crop top, honestly I do not know how some women have the confidence to go in sports bras at gyms.

Suddenly there was a crashing noise in the changing room Amity was in. Luz turned around towards the changing room to see if anything happened on the outside. Amity became a bit too flustered due to what Luz absentmindedly said.

Luz: Amity!

A female store employee arrived to see what happened.

Store employee: Did something happened with your girlfriend sir?

Luz turned around and said no everything is fine.

Store employee: Alright and sorry for what I said miss.

Luz: No problem have a nice day.

The store employee left and Luz did not pay attention to the fact the store employee accidentally misgendered her.

Luz: Amity are you okay I hope you did not need help in there as I sent the store employee away I got concerned about a stranger going in with my girlfriend in there.

Amity: Luz you did the right thing the only one who I would allow in here in case of an emergency is you and there is no emergency I just knocked over some clothes hangers and bumped into the wall.

Luz: You did not get a bruise did you?

Amity: No and I will be out in a few more minutes.

Luz waited and Amity finished choosing what she will get.

Amity: This may sound like an odd request but when I get out can you close your eyes and I can guide you to the counter then you need to turn around before opening your eyes.

Luz: Sure I trust you to guide me.

Luz did as what was asked of her and despite the awkwardness of that situation Amity guided her without a problem. Luz turned around and was able to get the money when the cashier said the total amount. They both left the store.

Amity: Can I talk to you in front on the steps toward the portal door.

Luz: Of course, I am all ears.

Luz wiggled her ears.

Amity: You can move your ears too?

Luz: Yes I can and I have noticed you doing it.

Amity: It is more of a witch thing actually but I am glad we have another thing in common.

The bus ride back towards Luz’s home was silent as Amity was thinking about what she was going to say. Luz was worried what Amity was going to say but that worry disappeared when Amity grabbed Luz’s right hand and gently caressed her fingers. Luz had a smile on her face. They went back to Luz’s home and soon they both sat in front of the portal door.

Amity: I need to tell you why I have been awkward.

Luz: I understand I have shopped for that kind of clothing more than once so I know it can be embarrassing I have felt that same kind of experience before I am a girl you know.

Amity: Of course I know you are a girl, you do know I am only interested in girls and your are the only girl I have ever been interested in.

Luz: I am aware of that just like the fact you are aware that I am bi and you are the only person I have ever dated or ever will date.

Amity: Wait did I make you feel like less of a girl?

Luz: No it is just that I have been feeling a bit weird today.

Amity: Since when?

Luz: Since after we went into that store.

Amity: Was it when that store employee thought you were a boy? I am willing to have a talk or argue with her if you need me to.

Luz: It is not that. Let me tell you about what I am feeling for one thing I never cared about how girly I am, I am fine with skirts as well as more gender neutral or boyish clothing as I am sure you are aware of. I have even called myself a bad boy before. I was never bothered by people mistakenly thinking I was a boy due to what I was wearing although I still get hurt if they made fun of me. I do not even value my own opinions of myself too much although I am getting better thanks to you Amity but compared to others and myself you are different I truly value your opinion. I understand why you were distant today you have every reason and right to be but maybe I felt something off and the way you froze after I whispered my size to you I got the feeling you may have been disappointed. I know you are not a shallow person but I still felt like I was not up to some make believe standards.

Amity: Luz the reason I froze was the opposite of that.

Luz was now confused about what she meant.

Amity: I know some girls can get envious of those who are bigger than they are and I was scared you would get jealous of me which would turn into resentment and then hatred. I know you are not that kind of person but I was scared. Before you told me your size I thought there was only a possibility I was bigger since we did not know each others sizes and not that I am judging you but you have a slim figure so there was a possibility I may have grown to be bigger than you so that is why I was scared and distant.

Luz: Listen Amity I promise you I would not feel jealousy towards you at all, as you grow up all I will feel is that I am so fortunate to be with my awesome girlfriend as she grows up into the beautiful woman she will be in the future. Also I know you will have many skills and aspects physical and not that are better than me and I will never feel jealous I will only feel so blessed that this amazing person is my girlfriend who loves me.

Amity: Thank you Luz, I needed to hear that.

Luz: Anytime sweet potato.

Amity: Now I need to tell you something.

Luz: I am ready to hear.

Luz wiggled her ears again making Amity laugh.

Amity: Alright in all seriousness I will like to tell you something to cheer you up. Luz you are girly enough for me nothing about you is below my expectations you always exceed them. I am deeply sorry if I made you feel lesser in any way.

Luz: You didn’t I always feel like I am more when I am with you not less and thank you Amity.

Amity: Now I have more to tell you. Luz no matter what you choose to wear you will always look great to me. It does not matter if you wear a dress to look beautiful, boyish clothing to look adorably dorky, a tuxedo to look, oh great I am trying to think of the word but the closest I can think of is handsome and that is not it.

Luz: Is it maybe dashing or charming? Also handsome can be applied to women and I am okay with you calling me handsome.

Amity: Good to know but I think charming is the word I was looking for. Let me start over.

Luz: Take as much time as you need.

Amity recomposed herself and was starting over again.

Amity: Luz whether you wear a dress to look beautiful, boyish clothing to look adorably dorky, a tuxedo to look charming, a suit of armor to look cool, or even some animal pajamas to look cute your appearance will always be more than enough for me. I do love the way you choose to look because your you.

Luz: Thank you Amity I will always really appreciate it when you compliment me.

Amity: Then let me say this, to me right now you look like my ideal sentinel who I love.

Amity stood up with her arms ready to give a hug. Luz leapt into her embrace as they soon hugged each other.

Luz: Are you sure about this?

Amity: I really missed this.

Luz: I love being with you, holding hands with you, and kissing you. But I still need hugs, snuggles, and cuddles.

Amity: I feel the same way the only problem I can think of is which I prefer.

Luz: A tough choice is it better to give hugs?

Amity: Or to receive hugs?

Luz and Amity: But the best is when we are hugging each other.

They kissed each other as they hugged.

Luz: So you are still staying for dinner right?

Amity: I wouldn’t miss it. But first I would like to change and take this jacket off.

Luz: While I understand the changing part you can leave your jacket on if you want.

Amity: No I am feeling much better and confident thanks to you. Although I still feel bad that you bought things for me that you can not even see.

Luz: I got to help you that is more than enough for me.

Amity: You are so great and I am glad you helped me with the silly problem of me worrying about you getting jealous.

Luz: I am glad it was a mundane issue, I do not mean to downplay your feelings I just mean it was something that was not traumatic, not life endangering, and we can fix this without too many problems.

Amity: I know what you mean and we can handle anything as long as we are together.

Luz smiled as they were walking toward her house while holding hands.

Luz: I know this is far away in the future but I do look forward to the day when we can go shopping for those kinds of things together and pick them out for each other and wear them. I am not trying to mean it in a dirty way I just mean, oh great Luz you are blowing it.

Amity chuckled and smiled at how cute Luz is.

Amity: I know what you mean and I look forward to that day too.

Before they entered the house they gave each other a kiss.

Whether it is a serious issue or a mundane one they will always be there to support and help each other.

Chapter Text

Luz and Amity are both twenty years old and in their shared home, they are working on different things late into the night. Luz is working on her assignments from her courses in college while Amity is working on modifying an engine for an abomination engineering based invention.

Amity is having some potato chips she got from the human realm that Luz recommended. The flavor combination was odd to most humans but to Amity they tasted great. She was also drinking some nonalcoholic apple blood. She was using telekinesis so she would not have to worry about contaminating anything with the abomination goo that was on her gloves. Amity heard some footsteps but she can tell who it is from the sound alone, it was Luz. Amity turned around in her office chair made from abomination engineering that she created and saw Luz looking extremely tired.

Amity: Luz you finished you assignments.

Luz: Yes and I am really exhausted.

Amity: Want some chips and a sip?

Luz: Yes please.

Amity took her gloves off and hand feed the chips to Luz before holding the juice box so Luz can take a sip. Amity then wiped the dust from the chips with a piece of magic towel paper from a roll she keeps nearby due to the messy nature of her work.

Luz: I really appreciate this.

Amity: You were really busy today.

Luz: Yes it would have been worse if you did not help me with the abomination engineering project yesterday.

Amity: Want to talk about it?

Luz: Yes, so I first finished ancient glyphs and combos which you know it is the college course I am best at.

Amity: I am well aware of that.

As Amity said that she gave Luz a smile that meant I am proud of you.

Luz: After that was my curses 101 assignment which had to be a short essay and I had to make a few copies of a method to remove a kind of curse.

Amity: It wasn’t dangerous right?

Luz: No, if it was I would have asked you to be with me. I know you care about me.

Amity: And I love you as well.

Luz: I love you too.

Amity: So what did you do next?

Luz: Well the Boiling Isles history assignment took a while to make sure I had everything in order, also thank you for recommending that book it helped a lot.

Amity: No, problem.

Luz: So next was the Boiling Isles biology essay which took me longer than it should since I did some related doodles even though I did not have to.

Amity: You get extra credit for those right?

Luz: I do and Ed likes them but I mostly do it out of habit since I get too distracted.

Amity: You know I like to doodle as well plus I love your drawings.

Luz: Thank you for saying that.

Luz yawned.

Luz: Next was the Theumaturgy assignment took a while but luckily I did not have to put it into practice so it did not take me that long.

Amity: I am proud of you that you were able to do so much today.

Luz: Thank you but I am sorry we barely spent 40 minutes together today even though we both have been indoors all day.

Amity: We spent breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Plus knowing you are somewhere safe and I can get to you quickly is more than enough to me.

Luz: I am really tired and can you do me a favor?

Amity: Anything.

Luz: Can you unbutton the top two buttons from your shirt?

Amity knew what Luz meant and she did what was asked of her. After that Amity had her arms outstretched. Luz proceeded to sit on Amity’s lap facing towards her and Luz clung on to her like a koala hangs onto a tree. The reason Luz wanted Amity to undo some buttons was so when Luz falls asleep in her embrace she can hear Amity’s heartbeat better.

Luz fell asleep extremely quickly. Even though Amity still had work to do she did not mind. Luz and Amity have a rule that they will never put any kind of work above each other’s needs. This was done out of personal reasons from both of them. Luz remembers how lonely she could feel when her mom was working, she knows she had to work but Luz did not want to subject Amity to that same sense of loneliness. For Amity her reason for not choosing work over Luz is she has seen how a relationship can end when work is chosen over that relationship. So as clingy Luz may have been Amity is just as clingy. Amity then made a spell circle and made some arms made from abomination goo come out from the bucket she keeps near her desk to continue working on the engine. While they will put each others needs first and foremost they both know the other has to finish their work so they will care for each other and work at the same time if they can. Due to Luz being ambidextrous she is less impaired when holding on to Amity than the other way around since Luz can use either hand to write with.

Amity placed one hand on Luz’s back and the other on her head to hold her. Amity was glad Luz looked happy as she slept. This was due to the fact Luz is listening to Amity’s heart. Ever since they started doing this they discovered some very profound sense of joy about this regardless who was listening to who’s heart. For the one listening they can hear the love of their life being alive and so close to them and they can even hear their love for each other. For the other they can give their soulmate so much joy just by being alive. This became one of their favorite activities to do together.

Amity noticed Luz placed her right hand on her shoulder. Amity used one hand to caress Luz’s fingers before kissing her hand and rubbing her cheek against it. This made Luz smile. This was much more than a romantic gesture. After the Boiling Isles was saved Luz had some issues. Possibly from ptsd Luz’s right hand trembled by itself on occasion fortunately it never happened when she was using her right hand but it was worrying. Luz also had difficulties sleeping as she would wake up and worry but when she saw where she was she went back to sleep but this kept happening. Camila had to hold Luz’s right hand as she slept so she would not wake up multiple times. Vee also held Luz’s right hand with her tail. Luz was still restless but she did not wake up multiple times anymore. When Amity was there for a sleepover which was quite often when she could, she helped Luz figure that this was actually from separation anxiety as Luz did not want to be separated from those she cares about again rather than what happened the night she saved the Boiling Isles. When Amity held Luz’s right hand and caressed her fingers Luz had uninterrupted nights of peaceful sleep. Amity gave Luz the glove she had that was once paired with the one that had titan’s blood on it so even when Amity was not with her Luz could feel Amity’s hand holding hers. This eventually helped Luz with her difficulty sleeping and her hand eventually stopped trembling.

Amity also had sleep related issues after the night the Boiling Isles was saved. Amity could not sleep easily until she started falling asleep while hugging a picture of Luz so she would have a sense of holding onto her. This was also due to separation anxiety. Luz eventually gave Amity a photo that looked like she was hugging her so Amity could be more at ease. This helped her a lot. However things got worse the night after Amity saw the recreation of what happened to Luz that Grom created. Amity now needed to hug a pillow that was about Luz’s size to have a better sense holding on to her. Amity even taped the photo she had onto it. When Amity told Luz this Luz told her that she knows of a company that turns photos into pillow cases and offered to get one for Amity. Even though this was embarrassing to admit Amity did not hesitate to say that she needed it. This eventually helped Amity recover a lot. Though Amity still has that pillowcase but she now no longer needs it as Luz lives with her.

Amity was enjoying this moment of joy as Luz was sleeping in her arms. Amity enjoyed the fact Luz was peacefully sleeping. Amity enjoyed the subtle aspects of Luz falling asleep in her arms. Amity was enjoying the fact Luz’s breathing was calm and she was not restless. Amity was enjoying the sensation of Luz slightly moving as she inhaled. Amity also enjoyed the feeling of Luz’s warm breath on her skin as Luz exhaled. Amity enjoyed the warmth Luz gave off. Most people would think that when a couple was spending time together and one was asleep that was a bad sign but Amity could not disagree more. To Amity this was a wonderful thing for them to do as a couple and when she told Luz how she feels Luz completely agreed with her. Amity noticed what time it was then she carried Luz to their shared bed.

Amity: Luz I need you to change into some sleeping clothes.

Luz yawned once more.

Luz: Sure thing hermosa(beautiful).

Amity then left to finish the chips and apple blood and she took a quick shower before changing into her pajamas. The ones she chose were a long sleeve pink shirt and a pair of light purple pants. When Amity returned she saw what Luz picked to wear. Luz was wearing this matching dark green and red flannel pajama hoodie and pants. On the hood there were fox ears. The reason Luz bought these were they reminded her of her cat hoodie. Although Amity liked them as well since they made Luz look cute though in Amity’s eyes Luz is always cute.

As Amity was watching Luz sleep something Luz also does when Amity falls asleep first Amity noticed something. Luz was not able to button up her pajamas correctly. Amity had to fix this. Luz has worked hard all day and she did not deserve to get sick. But Amity did not want to wake Luz up she needed her rest. Amity decide on a compromise. Amity whispered to Luz if she can fix her pajama buttons. Amity was careful not to scare Luz awake and Luz replied with a nod and she said sure.

Amity was undoing the buttons and ready to redo them when Amity noticed another mistake, this mistake made Amity’s face become red. While Luz was getting dressed to go to sleep Luz apparently forgot to put on certain pieces of clothing. The relationship between Amity and Luz has reached the point where Amity has seen Luz in this state before but Amity will still turn red if she sees Luz like this. Amity had to redo the buttons quickly or Luz really will get sick. Amity struggled to do this as she did not want to get distracted by how beautiful her girlfriend is.

Amity soon started to whisper to herself.

Amity: Come on Amity you can do this.

Luz: Amity.

Luz was still half asleep but she did wake up. Amity was now panicking.

Amity: This is not what it looks like, I can explain.

Amity was terrified what Luz was about to say since this was a bad position to be in. Luz kissed Amity on her forehead.

Luz: Did you wanted to hear my heartbeat more clearly?

Amity: What?

Luz: Or were you feeling cold and needed to be warmed up because we both know you have a lower body temperature than I do.

Amity stared blankly at Luz.

Luz: Or did you wanted more skin contact?

Amity realized this is so like Luz while it may look like she may be doing something bad all Luz cares about is what she can do for Amity.

Amity: I was fixing your buttons, also why were you not more shocked?

Luz: Amity I trust you. I trust you with so many things like taking care of that which are important to me, Stringbean, other things like finances, our home. I trust you with my secrets, my mental well being, my life, my heart, my soul, and my body. Amity everything that I have and all that I am I trust you with all of it.

Amity: I trust you with everything that I have and all that I am as well.

Luz: Also Amity I know you would want me awake if you had romantic plans and you know I will say yes. Amity if you want to hear my heart more clearly, be warmed up, or have more skin contact you have my permission to unbutton my shirt I trust you.

Amity: While I do give you the same permission aren’t you worried about getting cold?

Luz: Even if you did unbutton my pajamas a bit wouldn’t placing your hair near my heart as you hug me make up for any coldness?

Amity could not argue about this.

Amity: I need to finish fixing up these buttons.

Luz: Thank you for fixing my buttons sorry you have to do that.

Amity: I love taking care of you and I love sharing a bed with you.

What Luz was about to say was due to being less restrained since she was half asleep.

Luz: I love sleeping with you too.

Amity’s face became red again even to the extent to her ears were red. Amity is amazed how effortlessly Luz can make her blush without even trying. Even after spending years together and how their relationship has reached this stage it seems blushing a lot is something that will always happen when they are together. Amity has accepted this even if her face becomes as red as a tomato.

Amity: This is referring in the context of falling asleep right?

Luz: Yes but my answer for the other meaning is the same.

Amity was still blushing but she was happy Luz said this.

Luz: I am sorry I look so messy.

Amity: Luz this is not about looking messy. Luz remember as long as it is not anything that stains, is sharp, or could get somebody sick you are free to wear anything and everything you want to wear.

Another thought was said by Luz due to her being half asleep.

Luz: Does anything and everything include nothing?

Luz meant this as simply the word nothing falling under the definition of anything and everything. Amity took this another way.

Amity: If it does not defy the three rules we agreed on what we can wear to bed then it is not an issue.

Amity felt like they should have discussed this more when Luz is fully awake, though she would agree with her. Amity has finally fixed up Luz’s buttons.

Luz: Thank you, nighty night sweet potato.

Luz hugged Amity. When they fell asleep together they were actually quite clingy. Amity held onto Luz to the point she could not move as much while Luz had her hands on Amity though not in places that would make it harder to sleep. Amity was still flustered and was wondering how she will be able to fall asleep soon. But she can hear Luz’s heart throbbing and Amity knew that was more than enough to get her to fall asleep.

Hours later Luz was the one who happen to wake up first. She saw Amity next to her still clinging to her and listening to her heartbeat. Luz knows she has spent all night like this as they always tell each other when they have to leave the room when one of them is still asleep since the one who is still asleep will panic without them. Amity would say something like where is my light, where are you Luz? While Luz would say something along the lines of where are you mi amor(my love) Amity, donde esta mi corazon(where is my heart)?

Luz just remembered everything she has said to Amity while she was half asleep. Luz felt extremely flustered about what she said even though every single thing she said was the absolute truth and she agreed with what Amity said. Luz then noticed Amity was beginning to get restless. As Luz was looking at Amity her hair was adorably messy as she is clinging to her. Luz was thinking about how lucky she is as she gets to fall asleep and wake up next to somebody so wonderful. As Luz was thinking how much she loves her Amity was beginning to sleep peacefully again. Luz figured out that Amity must have noticed how distress she was getting, Amity is listening to her heart after all. Luz decided it did not matter if she embarrassed herself if Amity still loves her like this then everything is fine. Luz went back to sleep as they did not have to wake up early so they slept in that morning.

Regardless of who is awake or asleep or even if both of them are asleep they never stop loving each other.

Chapter Text

Luz is 21 and Amity is 22 years old and they are on a plane heading towards Japan. Luz entered a manga writing contest to win a week long trip to Japan and she won. She is also getting an award. Her plus one is of course Amity especially since she was her assistant. Amity is wearing a black and pink dress with what looks like unusual purple plastic like layers on it in a checkerboard pattern. She is wearing her high heeled boots. She also has her hair down covering her ears. Luz is wearing her necklace given to her by Amity, her snake jacket, jeans, sneakers, and a yellow shirt with the logo of Monster Slayer Academia on it. Both of them are wearing what looks like unusual purple colored necklaces. They walked to their first class seats and when nobody was looking Amity cast a spell that will make others ignore their conversations.

Luz: I can’t believe I am finally going to Japan. We can buy foreign Azura themed stuff and so many other things and have so many new experiences. Isn’t it great?

Amity: Yes.

Luz then noticed Amity clutching the hem of her dress, Luz knows Amity is nervous. Fortunately Luz knows how to help her mind be at ease.

Luz: Do you want to go over the list of things we need to have or do on this trip?

Amity: Yes that sounds like a good idea.

Amity was feeling better already.

Luz: Stringbean and Ghost.

Amity: They are in a pet carrier where Stringbean is pretending to be a toy for Ghost. We decided on this since we were worried about x rays in their wooden forms.

Luz: Abomination goo.

Amity: I have solidified it in a plastic like form to get by the limited liquid allowed rule and I have attached it to my dress. Fortunately the dogs did not find it unusual.

Luz: Concealment stone.

Amity: I have it on me even though I am covering my ears, just to be safe. Luckily the leather strap it is on means I did not have to take it off when we were passing the metal detectors.

Luz: What about your passport Amity Blithe?

Blithe is the surname Amity chose as her human identity. When Amity was wondering if she should have a different name for her passport when she was getting one she was unsure since she felt Blight was negative and she will eventually change it to Noceda so she can not pick that. Luz suggested Blithe since it sounds like blight but it can mean happy or joyous which Luz said is how she feels when she is around Amity. So Amity picked that as her human last name.

Amity: Yes I have it with me.

Luz: Teleportation Glyph Compasses.

Amity: We have them in our pockets.

Luz: Our special head phones.

Amity: We are wearing them.

Luz: Stomach medicine.

Amity: I have medicine for you if you get digestion problems and you have medicine for me if I have digestion problems.

Luz: Great do you feel better?

Amity: I know you were trying to make me feel better but now I am wondering why I am scared. I can fly on Ghost just fine and I have my own airship why am I nervous?

Luz: Maybe you are claustrophobic?

Amity: No it is not that, being in a closed sleeping bag or even a coffin for a nap would not bother me especially if you were with me.

Luz: What about personal space?

Amity: Luz when we are together both of us do not have that concept towards each other.

Luz: Maybe you are just not use to flying fully enclosed.

Amity: Maybe you are right.

Suddenly the plane went through some turbulence making Amity scared she wanted to cling to Luz but she could not due to the seat belt. Luz knew how to calm her down. Luz reached over to Amity and grabbed these two earphones that were connected to the purple necklace Amity is wearing that Luz also has. These necklaces were actually the invention Amity created so she and Luz can hear each others heartbeats even if they were not able to listen directly. They called these inventions their Heartphones a play on earphones, of course they had more capabilities than just that. Amity quickly started calming down from the mild turbulence she felt.

Amity: Thanks Luz.

Luz: Anytime hermosa(beautiful).

Amity: Though I can tell you are excited from your heartbeat.

Luz: Sorry it is just I always wanted to go to Japan and now I am going and I am bringing my girlfriend with me who is as nerdy as I am so it is like a dream come true better than what I could have dreamt of. Plus since couples can influence each others heartbeats by being close I am probably making your anxiety worse.

Amity: Luz you should never apologize for being happy or having a wonderful heartbeat.

Luz: I have an idea to cheer you up.

Amity: Go for it.

Luz: I may not be able to eat butter but you make my heart flutter. Dang it I should have thought of something related to a butterfly instead of butter since we are flying.

Amity laughed at Luz’s corny wordplay. Luz put her Heartphones on and was hearing Amity’s heart beat with joy.

Luz: There is the happy heart beat I love.

Luz and Amity have always been attuned to each other even before they started dating as they could synchronized their dance skills. After only a few weeks they could finish each others sentences when it was something they both liked. As the years went by they naturally became more attuned towards each other such as finishing each others sentences even if it was not something they both liked, being able to speak at the same time in synch, and even predict what the other will say. After years of hearing each others heartbeats they can also tell each others emotions just by listening to their hearts.

Luz: Amity remember we will help each other out if something terrible happens no matter what or how bad the situation is you have abomination goo and your tools and I have my tools and sewing threads.

Amity: You are right my batata(sweet potato).

Luz smiled and reached out her hand towards Amity.

Luz: We entrust one another with our lives and hearts after all.

Amity grabbed Luz’s hands and smiled back at her.

Amity: We entrust each other with our lives and hearts.

Amity calmed down and was able to enjoy the rest of the flight. She liked the peanuts but she found lunch to be bland and not that much of it though that was not a problem. They soon retrieved their Palismans and luggage after landing and they were heading towards the resort Luz booked via a taxi. When they arrived there Luz was talking to the front desk clerk. Amity could tell Luz was nervous even though Luz has become fluent in Japanese over the years. Amity grabbed Luz’s hand and she felt better as she was making some arrangements. They soon entered their room.

Amity: Let’s unpack.

Luz: I will take care of that how about you go in ahead of me. I bet you will like the private hot spring our room has.

Amity went on ahead, fortunately Luz told her about the preparation to enter ahead of time. After getting ready Amity entered wearing a large towel. She was now waiting for Luz. But Amity still felt some unease.

Amity: Why am I so nervous this is not that different from home and Luz definitely has seen me with less why am I so nervous?

As Amity wondered why she decided she should calm down. Amity closed her eyes and took a deep breath. However she smells something odd and iron like. Amity then noticed she is having a bad nosebleed. Amity pinched her nose and was about to leave when Luz arrived.

Luz: Sorry I am late this towel is hard to put on.

Luz did a worse job than she thought as she barley prevented her towel from hitting the floor.

Luz: Whoops well I may need your help with this.

This was the final straw as the blood rushed towards Amity’s head she did not know if this was from being seen like this or how she saw her beautiful girlfriend just now. Amity was about to pass out, Luz saw the blood in the water.

Luz: Amity!

Luz rushed in and caught Amity’s head before she hit the water. Before passing out Amity heard Luz calling to Stringbean and Ghost for some assistance. Amity did not felt any fear, after all Luz is with her.

Amity was beginning to wake up as she heard crying and a voice she will always recognize.

Luz: Amity please don’t leave me.

Before Amity even fully opened her eyes she had her arms around Luz who was listing to Amity’s breathing and heart rate. Amity was comforting Luz by cradling her head and patting her back. Amity was resting against a tower of towels. Luz looked at her teary eyed and she kissed Amity, a kiss Amity gladly returned. The kiss lasted longer than Amity thought but she has no problem letting Luz kiss her for as long as she wants.

Amity: I knew you would be able to save me without a problem you have an impressive amount of medical knowledge.

Luz: So do you.

They both spoke the truth. Over the years Luz has gained medical knowledge from several sources. First was from her mother. She also studied the healing track which she did well in since several aspects are non magical in nature. In fact her mother was able to help her a lot when it came to that track along with certain aspects of the potion and beast keeper tracks. The third source of medical knowledge Luz gained was from her Boiling Isles Biology course in college.

For Amity she also has multiple sources where she received medical knowledge from over the years even if she did not study the healing track. This was due to personal regret of not doing enough to help Luz. Amity had books related to the healing track since she did study for years to join the coven that allowed all forms of magic. Unfortunately those resources lacked spells and focused on more mundane aspects of the healing track preventing Amity from healing Luz something she deeply regrets. Amity has also gained medical knowledge from her sister so she learned spells that can heal Luz. After reestablishing her relationship with Lilith Amity’s knowledge of healing magic increased as Lilith was extremely well versed in it since she has spent decades trying to find a cure for Eda. Amity has also took the initiative to get books related to human physiology in the human realm. Amity could not rely on any sources on humans from the demon realm due to them being inaccurate as it was believed humans have things such as dorsal fins, gills, or venom glands. Even a human expert can make those mistakes and Hooty who has lived with Luz for months thought she had three arms. Plus all forms of human studies were related cultural aspects not biological ones so if Amity truly wanted to take care of Luz she needed to study from the human realm as well. She was always worried about how things might affect Luz in the demon realm since she was the only one who truly grasped that Luz was different from witches in more biological ways than just having round ears or lacking a bile sac.

Amity: I am sorry about this.

Luz: I am just happy you are ok, and the fact that there is a nose bleed stopping healing spell.

Amity: So can you tell me what happened after I passed out.

Luz: First off I am sorry I did not notice anything wrong before this happened, the plane trip, the hot spring, and probably me caused your nosebleed. I should have paid more attention to you.

Amity: Luz you were paying attention to me on the whole plane trip. Also it is better if you did not notice something and were able to save me when I needed you rather than you notice something and being unable to save me. Now can you please tell me what happened.

Luz: Well first off I told Ghost to get our first aid kit and I told Stringbean to get the towels.

Currently Stringbean is removing the blood from the water as Ghost is putting away the first aide kit.

Amity: Well that explains the comfortable towels, also did you kiss me before I woke up?

Luz: I thought you would need mouth to mouth in case you had breathing troubles related to your nose bleed.

Amity: Good thinking.

Luz: Also I am glad I remember to listen to your breathing and your heart rate before I did any chest compressions since I could accidentally break a rib.

Amity: Luz remember due to our bile sacs witches have stronger hearts and ribcages than humans. Although your heart is still stronger than mine even though I need to have a witch’s heart to be close to yours, and I do mean that in a figurative way. You know I was wondering if you thought kissing me would wake me up like a princess in a fairy tale. Though truth be told with us that would probably work.

Luz: I know that would not work though it is a romantic idea.

Amity: Also wasn’t my towel covered in blood?

Luz: I am sorry. When I first saw the blood I had to gently lay you down on the floor and open your towel to see where the wound was and prevent any fibers from giving you an infection. I then noticed the nose bleed so I propped you up after wiping the blood off of you and giving you a new towel. I am so sorry to have done that without asking first, and I am sorry this happened on our trip that was my idea.

Luz was doing a pose that Amity remembers is called a dogeza, which symbolizes asking for something like forgiveness.

Amity also remembered that she was in a similar situation with Luz awhile ago though their roles were reversed. Not too long ago Amity wanted to see these rare pictures purple flowers under the moonlight so she and Luz took her airship to them. Along the way they got some local cuisine and when Amity went to get napkins a bug demon flew into Luz’s face at a bad time making her choke. Amity made it back in time to save her of course however instead of doing the heimlich maneuver which could have broken some of Luz’s ribs A it’s instead made an abomination tentacle carefully pull out the food stuck in Luz is throat. Amity cried then she apologized for dragging Luz there and using that method. Luz thanked Amity for saving her and she apologized for ruining the trip, although they still had a great time flower viewing afterwards. Now Amity was the one feeling like she ruined the trip.

Amity: Luz there is nothing to forgive, you were doing all you could to save me which I appreciate. And it is not like I asked your permission before your towel slipped earlier and I am pretty sure you are not mad at me for that.

Luz: Of course not.

Amity: Though if you want me to feel better can I hug you again like earlier while you listen to my heart and I want to get in that hot spring with you after cooling down a bit.

Luz: Sounds good.

After spending years together Amity realized the best method for Luz so she would not feel overly guilty about things. First is getting Luz to see other factors involved in whatever she was feeling guilty about and make her realize her role was not as much as she thinks. If that incident involved Amity she would ask Luz for a hug and to hear her heart to make her feel better since it made Luz feel she was doing something and knew it was not just pretend as she can hear the joy in Amity’s heart. Of course Luz knows Amity does this to make her feel better just as Amity knows Luz makes lists for her to make her feel more at ease when she is anxious. They both told each other of these methods to help before implementing them so nobody would feel like they are being manipulated in any way.

Amity: I knew you would save me no matter what.

Luz: You have too much faith in me. You would expect me to perform life saving surgery if you needed it even though I am too scared to give you a hickey.

Amity: Just like you would entrust me to use abomination engineering to patch you up even though I do not even want to grow my nails to be too long since I am too scared of scratching you.

What sounded like jokes were not jokes. Both of them realized that in each others realms they could not get proper medical help. And this is not a what if scenario as a similar incident happened with Hunter years ago on Halloween. True it was under unique circumstances and he is a Grimwalker but the same would happen to Amity in the human realm just as the same applies to Luz in the demon realm. Luz came to this realization as she was learning Boiling Isles Biology in college as Amity realized this before Luz attended college. Besides medical knowledge they do have skills that can save each others lives in an accident that can only be fixed with surgery. For Luz it is her sewing skills. Due to the fact she has practiced sewing creatures due to her taxidermy hobby and the resources of the Boiling Isles such as stores that sell arms or being able to buy beating hearts around Grom time Luz has plenty to practice her skills on in the demon realm in ways the human realm could not provide. Amity skills were her engineering skills. In addition to the organic nature of abominations the Boiling Isles has technology that is partially organic such as alarm clocks with hearts Amity has skills related to this form of engineering before she ever pursued a career in abomination engineering. Amity has had opportunities to try her abomination based replacement parts as whenever a injured wild animal was found by Camila that could not be saved by normal methods Amity would offer to use her engineering skills to save them. Amity was amazing successful at this and the animals were able to live normal lives. Which is not that shocking as Amity has put in a lot of thought into this such as preventing external influences like magnetism and those who use abomination magic from interfering with the replacement parts. Why even compared to artificial hearts made by humans her abomination hearts do not expire after a couple years and can work for a lifetime barring any injuries. When Camila asked Amity if she was doing this for demons in the Boiling Isles Amity was honest and said she just wanted to be sure to be there for Luz if she ever needs it not that Amity would ever allow that. As strange as this was Camila sympathized with Amity as she knows what it is like wanting to do all you can for a love one. Camila said she is glad Amity is looking out for her daughter.

While these may be abnormal ways of being there for a love one both Luz and Amity have trauma related to not being able to do anything for a love one. For Luz it was her dad and even though she was a child at the time, that does not make the pain of being unable to help go away. For Amity it was Luz and even though Luz is still with her it does not mitigate the pain as Amity wants to make sure she would never be helpless and lose the love of her life again only this time for good. They both agreed to this in case of a life treating scenario. This was more than a strong desire to live as they both know the other would be filled with pain and guilt if they did not do everything they can to save the love of their life. While they are also concerned about things such as poisons and diseases those are trickier due to their different biologies but fortunately unlike injuries and curses healing magic is more effective against diseases and poisons especially those from human realm and Luz’s curse 101 class will help in case of a curse related scenario. Despite the skills they gained over years these skills can only truly be utilized for each other. The Boiling Isles residents would be distrustful of Luz’s skills due to her lack of magic, and she could not handle a medical career as her failures would destroy her due to all the guilt. For Amity her abomination based replacements would not be as helpful since due to the Boiling Isles’ visceral nature body parts are easier to acquire but this would not be a method to save Luz due to biological differences. Also Amity could not work in a medical based career due to the pressure of what would be expected of her. These life saving skills Luz and Amity have can only truly save each other. Luz and Amity have also shared their skills together to better increase each others chances of survival in a life threatening injury scenario. While Amity does not have Luz’s sewing skills she can use abomination magic to sew and while Luz does not have abomination magic Amity has taught her about the abomination replacement parts she created. Although they acknowledge that due to biological differences a human is more than likely to need replacement parts than a witch. While the fear of losing each other will never truly go away they found their own methods to deal with it that are not fear based the prevents them from living their lives, denial based which will not help at all as they act oblivious, or obsession based as that will prevent them from enjoying life. They will have faith in each others skills and continue even if it is an insurmountable amount of pressure and honestly the thought of performing surgery alone makes them want to cry and possibly hurl but it is still better than being helpless and losing their soulmate.

As they were still hugging each other Luz and Amity were reminiscing about what they said to each other after they agreed to allow the other to operate on them in a scenario where the only other option is helplessly watch the love of their life pass on without being able to do anything. (The following is a flashback).

Luz and Amity were listening to each others hearts with their Heartphones.

Amity: It is weird listening to your heart knowing someday in the worst scenario I need to replace it.

Luz: I get it, just like I am listening to what I may need to operate on in the worst case scenario.

Amity: I want you to know even if you save my life but not my ability to do magic and I am covered with stitches even on my heart I will never stop loving you. I just hope you would still like me without magic.

Luz: Amity even without using spells you fill my life with more than enough magic. I just want you to know if I become a abomination cyborg I would still love you even if you had to replace my heart because Amity you are my heart. I just hope you would like to listen to the new one.

Amity: Luz our hearts have always been different from each others and I will still love to listen to the new one because it would still be your heart.

Luz and Amity kissed even if the future ends up that dark they would still love each other even if the solution for one worry makes new ones.
(The flashback ends)

They soon entered the hot spring together. Amity was on Luz’s left side and was resting her head against Luz’s shoulder. Both of them were watching how cute Ghost and Stringbean are. Ghost was in a wooden bucket floating in the water. Stringbean was in the form of an otter also floating in the water. Both of them had little towels folded on their heads.

Luz: Ah they are so adorable.

Amity: They are.

Luz: Hey Amity I want to say due to what happened I think it is best if I am with you when you take a bath or shower for a while.

Amity: Well that is not that different from what we usually do but I understand remember how I said I would stick with you whenever you eat after that chocking incident.

Luz: I know.

Amity: Luz I am sorry if I messed things up.

Luz: Amity you did not mess anything up. Before I dreamt of going to a hot spring I dreamt of having somebody who loves me and you are that person. I just wish you had more than me to rely on.

Amity: Luz even if we did not worry about some government lab capturing me even the most well meaning doctors are more than likely to endanger my life. You are the only human I trust and that is capable of performing surgery on me if I need it.

Luz: I get that just like you are the only witch who knows enough about human physiology to save me. It is really amazing how we can talk like this.

Amity: We are ridiculously close and fully understand each other. It sort of reminds me of when we practice our skills to save each others lives.

Luz: You worked on your abomination hearts as I practice my sewing skills on the discounted hearts after Grom.

Amity: Well we worked on more than just on hearts but that is the first part we decided to work on.

Luz: Still it is weird how we practiced our skills in the same room.

Amity: Despite the scariness of those futures we felt a sense of calmness as we can entrust our lives to the person who we trust and love the most.

Ghost and Stringbean heard everything but they understand these two more than anybody else. Ghost who bonded with Amity due to her desire to pick her future knows Amity only wants a future with Luz in it no matter what. While Stringbean who bonded with Luz over her desire to be understood understands how much Luz needs Amity. But like them they hope these scenarios never happen.

Luz: You know Amity I love it when you are on that side.

Amity: Is it because that due to a witch’s bile sac being larger and where it is positioned my heart is more to the right compared to a human’s heart?

Luz: Yes and even though with the exception of two medical conditions human hearts tilt toward the left your heart is closer to mine than anybody else’s. Hey Amity.

Amity turned around to look into Luz’s eyes.

Amity: Yes Luz?

Luz: Amity I love your heart.

Amity’s entire face became red.

Amity: Luz whether your heart is human, titan, or made of abomination goo I love your heart too.

They kissed and enjoyed the calmness of the hot spring. After a while all four of them got out of the hot spring. Luz and Amity got dressed in white bath robes and they soon heard a knock on the door.

Luz: The dinner I order is here, I hope you will love it.

Amity along with Ghost and Stringbean waited at the table in their hotel room. They were surprised by what Luz ordered. Luz was carrying a large wooden sushi boat that had whole fish, lobsters, and other forms of shellfish. Despite the size Amity was not doubting Luz’s capacity to carry it after all she still carries Amity all the time. Watching Luz carry something like this effortlessly still makes Amity blush.

Amity: This looks great.

Luz: I thought you would like it.

Luz sat next to Amity and handed some pieces of fish to Ghost and Stringbean.

Luz: Now where is the tool to break the shells?

Luz heard a crack. Amity broke a shell open by squeezing it in her hand. Now it was Luz’s turn to blush as she saw how effortlessly Amity could do this with her hands.

Luz: Thanks Amity. Do you want a fish eyeball?

Amity opened her mouth and closed her eyes as Luz hand feed her.

Ghost meowed and Stringbean hissed.

Amity: I will get the sushi for you Ghost.

Luz: Don’t worry I will get you a piece of lobster Stringbean and Amity do you want a lobster eyeball?

Amity: Yes please.

The four of them enjoyed a nice sea food dinner. Later they were all going to sleep. Stringbean and Ghost curled around each other in the pet carrier.

Amity: That food tasted much better than the airplane food.

Luz: I think the altitude messes with the flavor.

Amity: By the way you sure wrapped me in that towel quickly, I thought you had trouble with it.

Luz: That is only in regards to myself after all I had a lot of practice getting you dressed.

Amity: I remember your idea. You said if one of us can not get dressed or take a bath the other will do it for them.

Luz: And you thought I meant if we became too injured to do that and you said you will make sure that would never happen.

Amity: And you explained you meant it as a romantic gesture to help each other.

Luz: Yes, I am glad you agreed to it and have enough trust in me.

Amity: Luz I trust you enough to perform surgery on me if I needed it. And I also know you well enough that even though you still have confidence issues in yourself you do believe you can save me if I need it otherwise you would have canceled this trip out of worry for my safety.

Luz: Thank you for understanding me Amity, I love you.

Amity: I love you too.

Luz: Amity will you fall asleep in my arms tonight?

Amity: Of course but don’t you want to listen to my heart?

Luz: I can listen to your heart on my Heartphones if you wear yours. Plus I feel like I am protecting you if I have my arms around you. I know that is kind of silly.

Amity: Luz I feel safest when I am in your arms and I am most at peace when I am listening to your heart.

They were soon cuddling with each other as they fell asleep to the sound of each others heartbeats.

While worries may never fully disappear when they are together they will overcome them whether they happen or not.

Chapter Text

Luz and Amity spent the day celebrating their first anniversary since they started dating and fortunately it was a Saturday. They went out to eat for lunch, they read books as they cuddled together, they dance at their tree, and they were able to make it to Luz’s home for dinner together. Later they shall enjoy the sleepover together. They went into Luz and Vee’s room for the gift exchange as Camila, Vee, Ghost, and Stringbean were in the living room seeing a movie. However unbeknownst to the two love birds they each have brought more than what the other would have expected.

Luz: Alright let me take a minute to get the backpack with the surprise from the closet.

Amity: Well I left the backpack I brought in your room next to your bed so let me find my gift for you as you get yours.

They both soon had their gifts ready and sat on the floor next to Luz’s bed.

Luz: I will go first and I hope you will like it.

Luz handed Amity something black and folded. Amity unfolded it and it was a black and purple striped scarf with pink crescent moons hand stitched on it. At both ends of the scarf were a large pink letter A for Amity and on the other side was a pink heart with a lavender L for Luz both hand stitched.

Luz: I know it is out of season and I may have ruined it with the stitching but I hope when you wear this you can think of me hugging you.

Amity was tearing up and she hugged Luz as her heart softened like abomination goo.

Amity: I love it and I will always think of you hugging me as I wear it.

Amity was already wearing it even if it was kind of warm.

Amity: Mine is smaller but I hope you will like it.

Amity handed Luz a small laminated piece of paper a bit bigger than her hand. It was a bookmark. On its white surface are golden stars hand drawn and what looked like pink petals but they were real. On both sides of the bookmark were the pinkish purple words written with beautiful penmanship the words said “Do your best Luz I know you can do it love your Amity”.

Amity: I know how to make these and I thought you could use the encouragement when you have a hard time studying and the flower petals are from our tree it is a bit small compared to your gift but I hope you like it.

Luz hugged Amity and kissed her cheek as Luz felt her heart blooming with love as if it was a plant glyph.

Luz: With this I feel I can have the best grades in school.

Amity: Just don’t overwork yourself alright.

Luz: I promise and I am so thankful you helped me a lot. Even as things got depressing as you basically became my therapist.

Amity: Luz you have helped me just as much and I am glad we talked more with each other even if they were emotionally heavy conversations.

After the Boiling Isles was saved Amity wanted to talk with Luz more to make sure she was doing alright after what happened. Luz said she also wanted to talk as she knew Amity felt traumatized as well since Luz knows she would be if she almost lost Amity that night. Luz said she was not trying to distract from her problems but as Luz has experienced that night talking with others as they have their own issues makes it is easier to open up, she also asked Amity to promise not to reject her a promise Amity agreed to immediately. It was hard to open up but if it was to help Luz Amity had no hesitation at all. First Luz told Amity was happened but she did say since the titan described himself as dead looking and he was still partially alive and he said Luz really would be dead looking if she went through the water so she must have been more alive than him. Also he said he was giving up the rest of his life to give her the power to win not resurrect her. As well as the fact that there is some evidence that she was teleported to him. Luz said she did not know if she was just saying this to make it less traumatizing but she is not lying. Amity said she completely believes Luz and admitted it is best for them to think that for the sake of both of their sanities and to avoid either of them having any sort of mental breakdown. Amity also helped Luz realize she was not at fault for the day of unity as the Collector said he would have told that moldy emperor about the light glyph anyways since The Collector has seen it and there is no proof that fungus ever used it afterwards since the Collector taught him other spells instead. Amity confided in Luz she felt guilt over her role in the day of unity as she has unintentionally speed up the release date of the abomaton 2.0 and they caused problems on the day of unity. But Amity said there were already plans for the 2.0 and things accelerated by a few weeks. Even if they both felt they had a role on the day of unity they should not feel responsible for it if somebody else started it long before they got involved since it was going to happen anyways. This helped Luz a lot. They also found out over many months that they had several issues and behaviors that were similar to each other some they still have or once had. Both had a tendency to project onto others whether they were more positive things for Luz or more negative things for Amity. They also sometimes put on figurative masks in front of others for Luz she pretended to always be happy even when she was hurting and Amity pretended to be aloof even if she was miserable. Both of them for many years felt all alone even when they were with surrounded by people. They both had self esteem issues Amity from having to be the best and not living up to it and Luz from constantly being made fun of as she tried to connect with others. They talked about how they have a lingering fear of rejection even after they were accepted for Amity it was Luz rejecting her even after they became girlfriends, for Luz it was when it was revealed that she was tricked. They both talked about how they had difficulties trying to connect with a parent. They talked how they both found it was difficult to open up around others. They also talked about their deep desire and need to be loved. They also had deeper and darker conversations such as Luz mentioning at one point she felt like being born was a mistake Amity revealed how she has felt that way too when she was younger as she has pondered in her life why was she born just to be a puppet who can not have dreams of her own or make friends with the ones she wanted to be friends with. Amity also told Luz she was worried if Luz at one point wanted to disappear from both realms. Luz understood what she meant and she said she never felt like that but in hindsight she does say she could have ended up feeling that way if she went through with her decision since she would feel more alone than ever. Amity said if things turned out different she could have felt that way as well if Luz was not in her life and if there was no day of unity she could have eventually became a coven head and Amity could see she could have cracked from the pressure and either pursue a mission while discarding her own safety and succeed while losing her life in the process or not being able to take it any more and she would fail a mission on purpose to make sure she will never be able to go on another one. Luz and Amity also talked about other issues that they did not have in common such as certain difficulties with parents but regardless whether it was issues they have, had, could of have, or don’t have in common they will always help each other.

Luz: I still have more gifts for you.

Amity: Really so do I.

Luz: I have some gifts I want to give you to apologize for my past mistakes.

Amity: I already forgive you.

Luz: I know but I will still like to give them to you.

Amity: I will accept them but all is already forgiven.

Luz: The first one is for accidentally reading your diary.

Luz handed Amity a book it was surprisingly larger than expected.

Luz: This is a book filled with many of the embarrassing things I have done before we met to try and make up for reading your diary.

Amity: Luz you just saw me accidentally calling my teacher mom, that I was lonely enough to talk to my diary, how I met you, and how I regretted how I treated you. Plus you were trying to prevent my siblings from reading it and I should have figured how could you know about my diary it was obviously them who thought of that.

Luz: I still want you to have it. But if it is not enough you could see my video diary but some of it will make you sad.

At this point Amity felt compelled to share her diary with Luz. Amity knows they have deep conversations that they could never have with anybody else, she knows Luz will not make fun of her, she knows Luz can keep a secret, and she knows Luz will still love her no matter what she reads but Amity would need to prepare herself for that one day if Luz is going this far for her she honestly felt she had do the same for her at least one day.

Amity: I accept this but I want you to know I will not make fun of you, and I will tell you all the things I like about you that I learned from this gift.

Luz: Thanks and this next one is for endangering your siblings.

Amity: That was a complete accident and I completely understand the fear of being seen as weak. Plus I still cared about you enough to make sure you did not get hurt by the slitherbeast.

Luz: I still took your wand and caused problems, I was thinking of giving you like five wands but you have Ghost and are so strong I did not want to insult you by giving you a wand so I went to the knee with Eda and found some gemstones I thought you would like them and maybe we can turn them into jewelry.

Luz gave Amity a heart shaped one to examine it, and it was a clear blue crystal. Amity grabbed it and she felt a surge of power.

Amity with surprise in her voice: This is a galdorstone!

Luz: Those relics that boost magic I thought they were big! Oh maybe when that town got destroyed long ago one was shattered.

Amity: I did not know they can still have the same effect when broken.

Luz: I have dozens of them including one larger than my fist.

Amity saw Luz pull out a bag from her backpack and in it was enough galdorstone fragments to make one bigger than their heads.

Luz: I do not want to insult you saying you need these I can do something else for you.

Amity thought about it. These can not be given to a museum since they are shattered. If she could use these to protect Luz she did not care if it made her seem weak she would destroy her pride herself before she would allow anything to take Luz from her even if it made her look weak in the process.

Amity: Can I accept all of them?

Luz handed them to her and Amity put the heart shaped one in there as well.

Luz: All yours. Now on to the next one.

The next gift was a heart shaped pillow with hand stitching on one side it said you are smart, cool, and classy Amity. On the other side it said love your from Luz. Both sides had white stitching that looked like cat faces. The heart itself even had black cat ears.

Luz: This is for when I made you think I did not want to go out with you in that tunnel of love, I never intended to make you feel bad. I am sorry I made it seem like it was ridiculous that I wanted to date you even though that desire was actually the first concrete goal I have ever chosen for myself.

Amity: I know you did not mean it, you simply wanted to avoid being hurt again. You have had you heart broken too many times after you tried to bare it only to be made fun of but I promise I will love you just for being you the cheesier the better.

Luz: I hope I am not so cheesy I make myself sick due to my lactose intolerance.

Amity burst out in laughter, this was the cheesy goofball who her heart belongs to.

Luz: And for the last one, this is for me ruining the Bonseborough Brawl.

She gave Amity some tickets.

Luz: These are some tickets I got for an electronics expo I thought you and your dad can go there, I checked with him and he is free on those days.

Amity was deeply touched by this gesture of love.

Amity: It was a mistake but you were dealing with a lot and you were still able to help me.

Luz: I also have these for you.

Luz gave her some different tickets.

Luz: These are for a vehicle convention you and your dad can go to I won those in a lottery and I felt really bad about that day so I want you to have them.

Amity: Listen Luz the reason I said I did not feel like talking to you is I did not want to be that jerk who will insult you and think the worst about you. You were feeling bad enough already I know how empathic you are plus I know something was bothering you I did not want to give you more pain. I needed time to cool off you found me next to our tree I did not want to get away from you I went to a place I associate with you and I immediately talked to you. And you know what you are really incredible most people in your shoes would have said they would not help me since this hits close to home with what you were dealing with. But you honestly did your best to help and you even told me why you were feeling sad even though you have never talked about this with anybody not even your own mom since she already knows. Plus in hindsight trying to bond with my dad by getting the belt was never going to work.

Luz: But I encouraged you to enter.

Amity: Listen Luz I thought of that while I was still under the mindset of earning my father’s love through achieving accomplishments instead of talking to him even though he told me he was not interested in that brawl anymore. So whether win or lose it was always doom to fail so that is on me not you. Also it was a good idea I went into the brawl instead of the tryouts.

Luz: Why?

Amity: Luz if I went there instead of the brawl we both know I would definitely get in and I would have gotten a sigil especially since they were branding people more often due to the day of unity and on the day of unity since I am younger than the adults the draining spell would have been fatal to me. Hunter endured better since he lacked magic at the time but since you know how strong I am magically and due to my age that spell would have killed me. So Luz thank you for saving my life that day just like you always do.

Luz teared up and briefly hugged Amity.

Luz: So what do I do with the extra tickets?

Amity: Extra?

Luz: I bought an extra one by accident and the other one I won three in that lottery.

Amity had a thought that she hoped Luz would love.

Amity: Why don’t you come with us?

Luz: I don’t want to ruin your day.

Amity: Listen thanks to you Camila became the maternal figure I never thought I would ever have in my life. I know he can never replace your father, and he definitely has more than his share of flaws and problems but I do think you and my dad can get along and maybe he can be a father figure to you one day.

Amity wanted to add something but she was embarrassed and it was only their first anniversary as girlfriends but hex it she is going to make Luz happy.

Amity: Plus just like one day your mother will become my mother in law my father will become your father in law so it is best you get used to him.

Luz hugged Amity as she cried, Amity kissed her.

Luz: I would love that.

Amity continued to hug Luz as she cried and giving her kisses until she calmed down.

Luz: Thanks sweet potato.

Amity: Now it is my turn to give you the gifts to apologize for my past mistakes.

Luz: You thought of that too? Also I already forgave you.

Amity: We are alike in a surprising number of ways and I know but you are still getting them.

The first gift was something very familiar and something Luz has not seen in over a year. It was Amity’s badge.

Amity: You know what I went through to get this back and I am sorry I shouldn’t have acted like a jerk to either of you I should have honestly given Willow advice to help her get a passing grade instead mocking her and I should have said I would tell principal Bump instead of actually telling him so you guys would have confessed to the abomination teacher instead. My dumb self image put you in danger and I want you to have this as a symbolic gesture of an apology I do not need it, you are like the stars, and the only star I need in my life is you.

Luz accepted the star and kissed Amity on the cheek.

Amity: Here is the next one,

From her backpack Amity pulled out a large book.

Amity: I endangered you once again when I challenged you to a duel. Since I threatened your future with magic I want you to have this book of magic instructions that has info on all nine types of magic tracks to help you with magic since you can no longer do glyph magic including the light glyph that you showed me on that day. Since this was meant to help me get into the coven that allows all forms of magic I want you who studies all kinds of magic to have it.

Luz: Are you sure?

Amity: I memorized it and I want to help you with magic even when I am not here with you. You will love some of the spells and drawings in this you are my cute bookworm after all.

Amity kissed Luz as she gave her the book.

Amity: Here is the third one.

Amity gave Luz an empty photo album with a black cover, The cover had golden paper snakes that were added on along with the words Lumity in gold letters.

Luz: What is this one for?

Amity: When I was too much of a coward to fix Willow’s memories I falsely accused you of only wanting to invade her privacy. You did not even argue back and what I did was needlessly cruel as you were trying help and I now know how you process guilt even if it wasn’t your fault which made what I did even worse. I was pathetic and do not say I wasn’t pathetic or cowardly I know I was and you did not deserve that. So as an apology of saying you were invading mine and Willow’s privacy I want us to make some good memories in the future, memories that you can always access whenever you want.

Luz: I am taking a photo later tonight.

Amity: Good since I have one more thing to give you.

Amity now had another book. It was a novel actually a romance novel.

Luz: Now I really do not know what this one is for.

Amity: On the day I dyed my hair I made it sound like I was rejecting you. You were already feeling bad about what happened and the fact it looked like you lost your lead to getting back home to you mom, you shouldn’t have had to go through anymore pain but I callously made it sound like it was your fault I got a crush on you and I could not think straight since I could have just asked him to get the book, you even offered to stop ahead of time but I did not listen, and then you got hurt getting my job back. I heard of this new romance book that is said to have very flowery language and I thought you would like it and maybe we can read it together.

Amity gave the romance novel to Luz.

Luz: I look forward to that hermosa(beautiful).

Luz kissed Amity on the cheek, her compliment and the kiss made Amity’s entire face turn red.

Amity: I wonder if we should do this during every anniversary where we apologize to each other with gifts.

Luz: I am worried about failing you too much or causing too many problems every year if we do that.

Amity: We do not have to do this every year, I never want you to feel bad about our anniversary so if you do not want to do this that is fine, we do not even have to give each other gifts at all I just want you.

A thought came into Luz’s mind it was negative one but she decided to tell Amity.

Luz: Why were you never mad at me for telling you at one point I was thinking of staying in the human realm for good even after you told me you want me in your future? Wasn’t I being a coward who abandoned you guys or did not have any faith to tell you why I was feeling guilty. It is so sad it will always take something drastic for me to be honest even though you told me not to hide anything anymore.

Amity can see Luz is going into a negative spiral and she knows how she will help.

Amity: You are not a coward, a coward would pick the easiest choice and you choose the most painful option. I know you rather face the Collector by yourself rather than being unable to help, a coward would never do that. You did not abandoned us you abandoned your dreams, you must have been in so much pain to even consider that. You lost faith in yourself you never lost faith in us otherwise you wouldn’t have let us go since you care so much about us if not you would have stopped us from risking our lives unless you believed in us. Luz you tried to shield me when the Collector was playing the Owl House and for all you know that magic could have been a fatal blast but you did not hesitate for a second. When we were being controlled you could have run after what we said to you but you stayed showing us you did not abandon us, you had faith in us that we would not hurt you, and even when you were scared as we attacked you, you stood you ground you were never a coward. It does not always take an event for you to reveal something you were going to tell us about your idea before something like at the last second when we would have finish making a portal. And in that regard I am no better it took an abomaton attacking you to make me confront my parents and I needed to be sewn into a book to finally take the time to try and understand you. The reason I told you not to hide anything is not because it was something like your last chance or I would be mad it is because I do not want you to get hurt since you always suffer the worst when that happens I want to make you happy.

Luz: Amity how do you see the best in me?

Amity: I learned from you, I will not be the same jerk who only saw the worst in you especially if it was not there. You can make mistakes and have flaws but I will see the best in you which is who you are. Plus it is better for us if we are not perfect.

Luz: What do you mean?

Amity: I know from years of experience perfection is impossible and if we were perfect it would cause us to suffer since we will never feel good enough I know we both still feel that sometimes. However even if there can never be a perfect person and we can only be our flawed selves that makes us perfect for each other.

Luz: I completely understand and I agree with you. Still how come you were not shocked by my decision to stay?

Amity: We have been through that before when you went to see your mom. If I needed to I would stay on your side of the portal even if it was a one way trip, I would miss most of my family but if they were fine I would regret nothing. I did not hate you for promising that to her or the fact you thought staying in the human realm would help us. I did not like that decision but I would never force you to do what I wanted you to do. However you must also know as you can make your own choices so can I as I can choose to remain in the human world forever just like you can. It is something I want you to acknowledge. Also why would I ever hate you for trying to do something nice for somebody even at your own expense and for doing something stupid? Luz I love those parts of you. I do like your self sacrificing nature although I wish you were not put in a position where you felt you have to. Even if it was a bad choice I admire how you could give up your dreams for others I can never give up my most precious dream for anybody.

Luz: I thought you wanted to make your own choices and have not decided on a dream yet?

Amity: The dream I can never give up on is the first dream I ever chose for myself and that is me being your girlfriend and being in love with you.

Luz: How did I end up with somebody as amazing as you?

Amity: I ask myself that every day about my girlfriend, you are so loving you even love my flaws.

Luz: What flaws?

Amity: My temper, how I can get obsessive, and how I can be a clingy scaredy cat.

Luz: Amity you look beautiful in a fight, it is amazing how you can focus, and you look so cute when you hug me when you are scared.

Amity: You just being yourself is why I will always be with you and stay by your side.

Luz: Really, you mean it, sorry it is just sometimes it is hard to believe somebody cares this much about me.

Amity: I do, and I know how you feel. I also almost got stuck on the same side of the portal you were on twice so I will always be by your side. Even if we found the demon realm devoid of life except for the Collector and then we found out you were tricked and the others started to attack you I would defend you with my life even if I had to fight all of them by myself. Luz I would face both the human and demon realms if they both targeted you. If you ended up stuck in the in-between realm forever well I will spend all of eternity with you because you are the person I love the most in all of existence. And all I ask is for you to be alive, be yourself, and be a part in my life.

Luz: I feel I failed all three at some point or another.

Amity: And doesn’t the fact I still want to be by you shows how much I love you?

Luz was crying tears of joy.

Luz: I do not know what to say, you truly believe that even with all my mistakes and the problems I caused in your life or the problems I probably will cause in your life?

Amity: Yes I do, any mistakes you made has never or never will make me lose respect for you, made me hate you, or diminished my love for you in anyway. I know you are chaotic and things may not always be easy but I do not want an easy life I want to be happy and I know I can only be happy with you in my life. Also what grounds or right do I have to hate you after you never hated me, even after all I put you through. You are truly an amazing person such as how you never gave up on me despite what I have done to you.

Luz: I just wanted to befriend my rival like Azura did with Hecate.

Amity: Luz I never consider you my rival but I do respect and admire your magic skills amongst other skills and you succeeded at going way beyond just friendship. Also Azura could not have done what you did. Honestly I am still in shock how you can still love me.

Luz: Amity what are you talking about?

Amity: It was horrible how I treated you like during the duel. I seriously attacked you when I thought you could not even defend yourself how pathetic is that. I made fun of your dream and try to end it even though I was trying to defend a dream that was not even my own and I blamed the power glyph incident on you even though you had no part in that. You were finally able to do magic which would have been impossible in your world an impossible dream that you could make possible and and I tried to end it and your future in every definition of the phrase ending your future. Honestly after that you should have not been able to tolerate me let alone wanting to be my friend and never mind you end up falling in love with me.

Luz started to notice things were escalating as Amity had her hands on the sides of her head.

Luz: Amity I think you should stop for a moment and calm down.

Amity: The worst is when we met. I knew what Principal Bump was thinking and I was going to let it happen. Him just examining you alone nearly broke your neck and then the dissection almost happened. I was actually smiling as it was about to happen I would have watch the future love of my life die and it would have been my fault and I would be smiling. Oh titan what is wrong with me you should have left me in Otabin’s book or let me walk into a trap during our duel. I do not understand how you never hated me, I am starting to hate myself.

Luz hugged Amity and started to cry as soon as she heard that. Luz did not notice Amity’s eyes were glowing pink due to the negative emotions she was feeling, but her eyes soon return back to normal as she was hugged by Luz.

Luz: Amity please do not hate yourself. I have been there, I do not want you to feel that way.

As Amity spent months thinking of gifts to give to Luz to make up for her past mistakes the guilt of her actions was eating at her but they fully burst forth when she was talking to Luz about them. What she has been feeling was comparable to how Luz felt when the Hexsquad was stuck in the human realm. As sometimes it can seem obvious Luz needs Amity for her own well-being, Amity needs Luz just as much for her own sake as well.

Amity: I am so sorry. I love you so much and to think I acted that way, it makes me sick. I can’t believe I almost ended your life more than once and they were not by accident. As soon as I started confessing to you about what I did I just broke down.

Luz: I understand I have been there, and I will be here for you just like you were for me.

Amity: Can we hug a bit longer?

Luz: As long as you need to.

They both knew they will probably have more days like this but they also know they will be there for each other when that happens. They also agreed that they would do their best to prevent others from talking about their past mistakes for each others sake. While they acknowledged they happened and will discuss it if they really need to they rather it will be just between the two of them and nobody else brings up those mistakes. Several dozen minutes passed before the hug ended.

Amity: I feel better.

Luz: I know that was hard to admit but thank you for trusting me enough so I can listen to you.

Amity: It was easy you have been doing a good job of talking to me lately.

Luz: Well you make it easy to talk to.

Luz had an idea that used flowery language, she knows that will cheer Amity up.

Luz: My heart was once in a locked metal chest but with you the chest is crystal and there is not even a lid. My soul that I kept hidden in a fortress is now near the windowless window frame of a glass house all thanks to you.

Amity: That was amazing.

Luz: I thought of it when we were hugging.

Amity: This may sound pessimistic but I wonder what describes us better two broken girlfriends or two traumatized girlfriends.

Luz raised her hand like she was giving a high five.

Luz: Hey us broken/traumatized girlfriends stick together.

Amity smiles and high fives her.

Amity: We stick together.

Amity had an idea for a romantic saying.

Amity: Luz you are like my heartbeat, in dangerous situations you kept me alive, like my heartbeat I would not last long without you, and like my heartbeat without you I can not feel love or joy, Luz I need you in my life.

Luz: Wow that was beautiful, can I have a few minutes to think of something to say to you?

Amity: I will be here when you are ready.

Amity enjoyed looking at the faces Luz made as she was thinking about what she will say.

Luz: Alright I am ready. Amity you are like my own personal bile sac even when you are not using magic you fill my life with magic, you are vital to my well-being, and you are a permanent part of my heart, Amity my heart needs you. Was that good or not?

Amity blushed as she hugged Luz.

Amity: That was beautiful and so are you.

They had their first mouth to mouth kiss that night. They soon had second and their first photo for the photo album. As Luz got Stringbean to take a picture of them from above Stringbean took the form of one of those tentacles parrots from the Boiling Isles. The photo had Luz and Amity kissing as they were surrounded by their gifts for each other. After that photo was added to the album they soon got ready for bed. Vee had headphones on as she slept so Luz and Amity can talk privately as did Ghost and Stringbean. Amity is wearing the pajamas she got from Luz when she was stuck in the human realm. Luz is wearing the night clothing from her first night in the Owl House. As they were going to soon fall asleep Amity grabbed Luz’s right hand as she caressed her fingers and held onto Luz’s arm like it was a beloved teddy bear.

Amity: Thanks for letting me have these, they are my favorite pajamas.

Luz: Well they look great on you. Would you like me to get you more pajamas in the future or do you like them because they used to be mine?

Amity: If things were the other way how would you feel?

Amity did not want to answer directly.

Luz: Alright so ones that I have worn, although not what I am wearing now since these are special and I am glad they still fit.

Amity: Are you sure I can see your stomach.

Luz: That is normal.

Amity: Well you look wonderful.

Luz: Thanks I got these for tonight since I wore them during the start of something great which was my life in the Boiling Isles so I thought of wearing them again tonight for the start of something great.

Amity: What is this something great?

Luz: The beginning of a new year with my girlfriend.

Amity: I love you.

Luz: I love you too.

They kissed each other on the lips for the third time that night and then they went to sleep.

While they may make mistakes, their mistakes will never diminish their love it will only grow stronger.

Chapter Text

Set several months after the Isles were saved Luz and Amity were both able to spend a day at Hexside since it was a holiday in the human realm. But before practicing magic together after school they both decided to leave their text books at home so after that Luz flew on Stringbean towards Blight manor to pick up Amity. Luz knocked on the door and Alador opened the door.

Luz: Hello Mr. Blight.

Alador: Luz there is no need for formalities you are welcomed here anytime and you can just call me Alador.

Luz: Thank you and I wonder how do you feel about just Al?

Alador: Well that is quicker, so here to pick up mittens for a date?

Luz: Yes sir, I mean yes Al. Sorry I get nervous easily. Actually Amity and I are going to practice magic together.

Alador: Sounds great Amity has been practicing hoping to show you some new tricks she learned.

Luz: I look forward to it.

Amity soon rushed over with Ghost.

Amity: Sorry I am late and dad you did not spoil anything right?

Alador: No, I just said that you have some new spells to show her.

Amity: Well I guess we will be leaving now, bye dad.

She hugged him goodbye before Luz and herself flew away.

Luz: Bye Al and say hi to Ed and Em for me.

Alador: Sure thing Luz, and make sure you two protect each other.

Amity: We will dad.

Luz: No need to worry.

As they were flying towards the Owl House to practice in the front yard Amity was surprised by Luz calling her dad Al but then she remembered her siblings have shortened names so it was not that weird but it still felt weird. She then realized she was the only one in her family without a shortened name. But that thought soon ended as Amity and Luz arrived at their destination.

Luz: First I need to get my witch’s wool cloak.

Amity: You are not doing anything dangerous are you?

Luz: No, I need it for aesthetic reasons and a dash of flair like this.

Luz then threw confetti from her pockets. Amity giggled.

Amity: Ok I will be waiting.

Amity waited as she took the confetti off of her hair. She also had Ghost resume her cat form to tell her when she got all the confetti off. Luz soon returned but she had her free arm around her stomach. Amity knew she was nervous.

Amity: What is wrong?

Luz: I am just nervous that I will mess up the routine I came up with.

Amity: It is all right if anything goes wrong I will be here to protect you.

Amity kissed Luz on the cheek.

Luz: I know you will.

Luz returned the kiss before walking several dozen feet back away from Amity, so she can practice her routine.

Luz: I will now display my incredible magic that is the most amazing ever wielded by a human.

Even though Amity knew Luz was saying this for some added drama she did not doubt that claim for a second.

Luz: Alright here we go.

Luz tapped Stringbean’s staff on the ground and now Luz was surrounded by mist. Through the mist Amity saw Luz tap her staff on the ground again and now Luz was surrounded by a small tornado. Amity could not see through the tornado but she could hear another tap. Luz was now being lifted up by a pillar of ice.

Luz: But wait there is more.

Luz then made a spell circle above herself with Stringbean and Amity saw from the dark purple spell circle a burst of snow that was soon falling down. Luz then made a smaller circle above herself making a giant light orb. Luz then pointed Stringbean at the light orb and a blast of water shot out. When the water collided with the light it made several rainbows like the ones Amity has seen on earth.

Luz: But that is not all this amazing witch has to show.

Luz tapped the bottom of her staff on top of the ice pillar and a plant grew in front of Amity and it ended in a big pink flower. When Amity was distracted by the flower Luz tapped the bottom of Stringbean’s staff on her feet and Luz jumped down the pillar. This action acted as a hover spell. Luz then concentrated and she became invisible without doing any necessary movement. When Amity was wondering where Luz went Luz reappeared in front of her. Luz pointed Stringbean behind her and shot a fireball at the ice pillar creating a steam cloud that created a dramatic effect perfect for ending her show.

Luz: So what do you think, is your girlfriend an amazing witch?

To say Amity loved it was an understatement. But what truly brought joy to Amity’s heart was not the grand display of magic or the romantic gesture of the flower. What truly and honestly brought joy to Amity’s heart was seeing how happy Luz was. Amity knows better than anybody that Luz was devastated when glyph magic disappeared to the point that she cried, but Amity knew Luz would get through this. Now Amity is so happy to see Luz like this as she knows all of these spells are glyph spells Luz has learned and it was truly wonderful for Amity to see Luz wield these kinds of spells once more. In fact Amity was so happy she was crying.

Luz: Oh no is the steam getting into your eyes?

Amity hugged Luz and kissed her on the mouth.

Amity: No and yes my girlfriend is an amazing witch and seeing you use magic was beautiful.

Luz returned the kiss in gratitude.

Luz: I am glad you liked it.

Amity: So those were glyph spells.

Luz: Yes, Eda thought using spells I am familiar would be easier to practice with Stringbean.

Stringbean resumed her snake form and cuddled against Luz’s cheek before waving her tail to say hi to Amity and Ghost. Amity and Ghost waved back.

Amity: Don’t think your awesome witch girlfriend does not have some tricks of her own.

Amity stepped back from Luz and beneath her feet Amity was lifted up by a giant abomination hand. As Luz was seeing Amity stand there gracefully she did not notice the fingers of the abomination hand change into more hands. Two stretched out above Amity. One had in its palm a star made of abomination goo the other hand had a crescent moon. The last three hands stretched towards Luz. One hand has a small abomination in the form of a cat it made a gurgling meow sound but Luz found this to be adorable. One hand placed itself on Luz’s cheek and the last hand has a flower for Luz also made of abomination goo. Amity stepped down from the abomination hand she made and sent it away.

Amity: I know it is not as fancy as yours but I do hope you liked my performance.

After Amity stepped down Luz rushed over to kiss her.

Luz: That was wonderful just what I expect from my awesome witch girlfriend.

Amity: The show is over but I do have a few more tricks to show you.

Luz: Please show me.

Amity: I will.

Amity cast a spell used to raise a pillar of earth in the distance.

Luz: Woah you can do construction magic?

Amity: Well I have been learning magic under Lilith and even though I will stick with the abomination track and it is still my favorite I will happily learn any magic if it can protect and help you. That is also why I learned some beastkeeping magic from Ed and healing magic from Em. Also I can teach you sometime if you are interested for protection or just for fun.

Luz was now thinking how in the old days she would have been upset about somebody close to her thinking she needed to be protected but not anymore. In fact Luz knows if Amity ever wants to stop protecting her that is cause for extreme worry but fortunately for her Amity will always want to protect her. Amity has mentioned how she can be a bit overprotective but Luz admitted that is probably good for her.

Amity: Now watch this.

Amity made an abomination gauntlet on her left hand and she punched towards the earth pillar and a crescent moon shaped blade made of abomination goo shot out and cut the pillar leaving a missing section.

Luz: Wow that was amazing.

Amity: Thanks I actually got the idea from the Collector since he uses space themed magic, same thing with all the hands you saw earlier. It is best to get something good from a negative experience after all.

Luz: I know what you mean the same applies to the water and tornado spell you saw earlier. Also would you get mad if I make a suggestion? I know you are a master of abomination magic and I do not want to insult you by telling you an idea on how to use it.

Amity: Luz I would love to hear your input.

Luz: Well you know how to make a sword right?

Amity: Well it is more of a thin blade than a big sword.

Luz: Can you fire that crescent moon attack from it as you swing it?

Amity: I should be able to do that.

Amity made the abomination blade in her hand and she swung it at the pillar while making a crescent moon shape come out of it. This time the stone pillar was cut in half.

Amity: That was amazing how did you come up with that?

Luz: Well in the anime I have seen when people with swords swing them sometimes they make wind that cuts called razor wind and I thought you could do the same with abomination magic.

Amity: Luz you truly bring out the best in me.

Luz: Hey Amity I have another idea can you make strings?

Amity: Well I know Hunter once when he was sewing mentioned Darius could sew with abomination magic so it is possible.

Luz: Well I know this anime called Seeker X Seeker where there is one character who has pink hair who can manipulate string. So I wonder if you could do that as well.

Amity: You mean like rope from a distance?

Luz: More like strings from your fingers although you could make gloves from them so you can still punch.

Amity: That is an interesting idea.

Luz: Just be careful not to make razor wire.

Amity: What?

Luz: Amity in some anime I have seen those who fight with strings can have them be as sharp as metallic wires which can slice things apart.

Amity: That is a bit dangerous, was this character a bad guy?

Luz: Well yes but she did not do much cutting with her powers in fact she can also use her strings for medical purposes.

Amity: That is very interesting.

Luz: Also there was a friend of hers that could shoot from his fingers you could try that with your abomination gauntlets.

Amity: Well that would be good in certain scenarios instead of just shooting one or both gauntlets at a time.

Amity tried this on the rock pillar and it worked. It was quite easier than she expected.

Amity: Luz you are full of good advice.

Luz: Thank you Amity and I am also full of good tricks too. Stringbean let us show her how I can cast magic with my fingers.

Stringbean hissed saying she is ready and Amity was really invested in what Luz and Stringbean were going to do. Stringbean transformed into an octopus and wrapped three tentacles including the one with her tail orb around Luz’s wrist and the other five around her fingers.

Luz: And now be amazed as a human uses magic with her finger.

Luz made a circle and Stringbean’s tentacle followed her movement and Luz made a spell circle that was actually the light spell.

Amity: Luz that was incredible. How did you ever come up with that?

Luz: Well when I was wondering what Stringbean would be I thought if she was an octopus we can hold hands and since Stringbean can become an octopus to hold my hand I wondered if I could do a spell circle with my finger with her and it turns out we can.

Amity: You never cease to amaze me my precious batata(sweet potato).

Amity kissed Luz on the cheek.

Luz: We have worked on other tricks. Stringbean how about we show her the other tricks we have.

Stringbean hissed with enthusiasm.

Luz: First wand mode.

Stringbean turned into her regular form but she was as stiff as a board. Luz used Stringbean like she was a wand and created a spell circle which made a bush with flowers come out of the ground.

Luz: Now melee mode.

Stringbean transformed her mouth to look like a lamprey’s mouth which was perfectly circular. This formed a spell circle and a club made of ice came out of Stringbean’s mouth so Luz could use Stringbean as the handle of a melee weapon.

Luz: I know a fire sword would look cooler but I think this is safer.

Amity: Good call.

Luz: For last gun mode.

Stringbean spat out the ice club onto the floor. Stringbean then curved so she looked more like a gun and Luz shot a fireball at the stone pillar.

Luz: Alright you can now go back to normal you wonderful power noodle.

Stringbean did and gave Luz an affectionate lick. Luz gave her a kiss on the head.

Amity: Wow you two work so amazingly well together.

Luz: Thanks I like to think that since palismans can serve their partners as a symbiotic part of them like Principal Bump and his Palisman Frewin, I consider Stringbean to serves as my bile sac. Plus we have been really close since Stringbean is a great therapy pet. I do not mean to diminish your role as my girlfriend and the closest person I have to an official therapist. Amity I hope I did not make you upset.

Amity giggled.

Amity: Luz I am not upset, I am glad you have support when I am not with you. I understand how you feel.

Luz: You do?

Amity spread her arms open and Ghost jumped into her arms and nuzzled her neck.

Amity: Ghost also acts like a therapy pet for me, well mostly when I am stressed. It really helps when she purrs, it is so soothing.

Amity gave Ghost a kiss on her head.

Amity: Also Stringbean thanks for being there for Luz.

Amity gave Stringbean a kiss on the forehead in gratitude. Stringbean appreciated this. This was followed by Ghost giving Stringbean a lick.

Luz: I wonder if Stringbean should turn into a cat and purr the next time I am stressed.

Stringbean nodded in agreement.

As Amity saw Luz and Stringbean together she noticed something new. Luz was wearing a charm bracelet on her left arm. Amity knows Luz well enough to recognized what these charms represent even if there are over a dozen. The love mom heart was obvious. The white cat and otter charms were obvious due to Luz’s love of those animals. The book, old fashion pen, and the paint brush charms represents Luz’s love of reading, writing, and her love of art. The owl charm represents Eda while the flat skull charm represents King. A charm that looked like a snake coiled around a staff represents Stringbean while there is a green ouroboros charm representing Vee. The witch hat charm represents Luz’s love of magic. The gold star, pink crescent moon, and the double hearts with the initials with A and L charms obviously represents her and Luz. Amity could not figure out the last charm which looked like a brown marble connected to the charm bracelet via a chain.

Amity: Nice charm bracelet. But what is the marble?

Luz: Promise you will not get mad?

Amity: I won’t.

Luz: It is a crystal ball, I thought it would be good idea to have one if I do not have Stringbean with me in order to defend myself if I need to. Even though I personally like Oracle magic I know you have bad memories of it so I did not want to bring it up.

Amity asked Ghost to jump off for a bit. Amity placed her hands on Luz’s shoulders and looked her in the eyes while giving her a gentle smile.

Amity: Luz I know you have been studying Oracle magic. I will never again stop you from learning magic in any form. If you want to learn magic because you are interested in it or you feel you need it for protection then I insist please go ahead. While I do have bad memories associated with Oracle magic even I myself would resort to using it if I need it to protect you. Plus you using it would make some pleasant memories for me when it comes to Oracle magic. Also I like how this crystal ball is the same color as your eyes.

Luz: Thanks a lot Amity this means so much.

Luz had her hands on the sides of Amity’s face and pulled her in for a kiss. A kiss Amity appreciated.

Luz: You know I can actually use Stringbean’s tail as a crystal ball whether she is in staff form or not.

Amity: You are so innovated. Also it is interesting how you got that crystal ball on a charm bracelet that is definitely unique just like you.

Luz: Thanks. I had the idea since I can not just carry a crystal ball with me and I know an accessory can be a crystal ball so I decided on this. I originally thought of a ring but I did not want anybody to be tempted to steal it so I decide on a charm bracelet since it would not look like a target plus with this chain I can just grab it. Also I asked Eda if she can find me something that does not look like a crystal ball and she found me this.

Amity: So what magic can you do with it?

Luz: Oh you know summon apparitions, know the near future, and I can make it glow like a light.

Luz grabbed it from the chain with her left hand and she was able to use the crystal ball as a substitute for a light spell.

Luz: I am hoping to one day use some advance applications to replicate some of the basic glyph spells with Oracle magic.

Amity: Hey Luz do you know you do not need to directly hold it to use it right?

Luz: Wait what?

Amity: Some of the Oracle students at Hexside can use crystal balls through their sleeves, direct hand contact is not needed. If I may let me show you how you can use it without holding it.

Luz stretched her arm towards Amity as a sign that she trusts her. Amity turned the charm bracelet upside down and detached the little hook connecting the chain to the crystal ball and she looped the chain through the hole and attached the hook to the bracelet and now the crystal ball was on the bracelet in a way that made it look like a watch.

Amity: Alright you should be able to use it.

Luz did use the crystal ball without having to hold it and summoned a yellow eyed and shadowy apparition.

Luz: It works, this is great, thanks Amity this will give me the element of surprise and make things easier. Oh I have an idea Amity can you make a blank sign made out of abomination goo?

Amity: Easily.

Luz: Apparition you can avoid attacks coming towards you right? I want you to hold the sign beneath you as we practice our aim.

The apparition gave a thumbs up and grabbed the sign as it started to fly higher.

Amity: What a great way to use our magic together. They work so well together.

Luz: That is not a surprise they are both purple, and purple is our favorite color.

Amity: You are right.

Luz: Thanks for your help Am I love you.

Amity: What did you call me?

Luz: I am so sorry I was thinking of a nickname for you and your family has shortened nicknames so I thought I try it. How about something else like Ami, Amy, Amit, or Ams.

Amity started to laugh making Luz confused.

Amity: Luz you could call me mittens and it would make me happy. But just calling me Am is fine, though I think Amy might cause some confusion depending on where we are so maybe stay away from that one. You know it is funny I was thinking about this earlier.

Luz: Really?

Amity: Yes and thank you for the nicknames Luz.

Luz: Your welcome and I know I shortened your name as a nickname but can you please not do that with mine I have bad memories of being teased being called Lu also with just being called L.

Amity: I understand my wonderful Luz.

Luz: Thanks Am, now we should start practicing.

Amity: It sounds like a wonderful date.

They happily spent their afternoon practicing magic together.

While the way they use magic may change their love will stay the same.

Chapter Text

Luz and Amity are both 19 and Luz is in her second year of wild magic university. They are both in Eda’s headmaster office where Luz is turning in her papers saying she is moving out of the dorm.

Eda: Well I am going to miss you kid, but I hope you like your new place.

Luz: Don’t worry Eda I will be nearby, I can not wait to see it.

Eda: Well take care of yourself, and remember I am going to visit you.

Luz: I will visit you too, I will be fine.

Amity: Do not worry about a thing Eda, I will protect her.

Eda: I know you will bossy boots.

Luz: I remember something I have for you, I will go get it.

Luz left the room leaving Amity and Eda alone. Before she asks Amity something Eda took a sip of apple blood from her mug.

Eda: I have something I want to ask.

Amity: Do not worry, I will protect Luz with my life.

Eda: I know that just like you are her awesome girlfriend. I wanted to ask what got her to immediately move in with you without seeing the place?

Amity started to remember the night when she asked Luz to move into their new home.

(The following is a flashback)

Amity and Luz were in her dorm late at night and Amity was about to leave.

Amity: Oh great there is shale hail.

Luz: Want to spend the night with me? I do not want you to be in danger.

Amity: It is a good thing you have stretchy clothes I can burrow if I stay over.

After borrowing some clothes and changing in Luz’s private bathroom Amity emerged wearing burrowed clothes. Specifically dark pink pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt with a black cat on it. Luz also changed in the meantime while waiting for Amity. Luz is wearing a black shirt with an otter on it that went well with her lavender pajama pants. Their palismans were already asleep by then. They both laid down together under the covers.

Amity: So you have been living on your own for a year now how have you felt?

Luz: Honestly I do not know if it is for me. I got used to having somebody else with me not that this is anything against Stringbean I love her but I do not know how to put it. First it was King, then it was Vee, and the occasional sleep over here with you. I have neighbors that are nice but you know I do not talk to them much it is not like we have a bad relationship. I wish to have another person I am close to with me.

Amity had a thought that she has wanted to say for so long.

Amity: Would you like to move in with me?

Luz: I would love to but I am not sure your dad would approve.

Amity: No I mean our own place.

Luz: Well we need to find a place first.

Amity: No I have one, actually I built it.

Luz: You built a house!?

Amity: Well I designed it and I was involved heavily in its construction but I know some guys from Hexside who helped make it. Also I made the money with that new project that will be ready later this year

Luz: So when will the house be ready?

Amity: Actually I started it when I was 17 and we can move into it now.

Luz: Really from that far back?

Amity: Luz when we were stuck in the human realm I know if it wasn’t for too many sad circumstances it would have been the best time in my life living with you. Ever since we have come back I wanted what we had under better circumstances. So I have been dreaming of this house for years. Knowing you, you probably have dreamt of an Azura themed wedding for years so you know what I mean when I say I have been planning this for years.

Luz: Wow, I am surprised though you are a great planner so that is not too shocking. And yes you are absolutely right about the dream wedding idea I have though we are not quite there yet. Also yes I will move in with you to a new house.

Amity: I understand the reason but there is something else I have to tell you. This is not just a new house for us this is what I imagine will be our forever home. I will show you my commitment to making our future together more wonderful where any issues of the past will not happen again.

Amity sat up.

Amity: Now please sit up and put your forehead against mine.

Luz: Ok.

Luz did what Amity asked of her.

Amity: Luz you have gone through too much, feeling guilt, being made fun of, and events that almost took you away from me. Now I will show you my resolve in sharing my life with you in our forever home. With this spell declared, let the pain be shared.

Luz moved back but it was too late. However nothing seemed to happen even though Luz remembered many traumatic events before the spell was activated. Her memories were fine and when she looked at Amity she did not gain a scar on her face so it looked like it did not work.

Amity: Luz I want to share our home together, I want to share my life with you, and I am more than willing to share your pain so will you move in with me?

Luz: Yes.

They hugged and then they went to sleep. It is unknown why the spell did not have an effect or maybe it did. Perhaps it does not work on mental trauma. Perhaps Luz’s trauma has become more manageable. Perhaps it did work but half of Luz’s trauma may have been less than Amity’s full trauma including being unable to save her that day years ago. But this gesture alone was more than enough for Luz to agree to permanently move in with Amity in their new home even if she has never seen it. Amity slept well after that even if the spell did not work she has shown Luz her commitment for her living a happy life in their new forever home.

(End of Flashback)

Amity: I told Luz I wanted to make a happy home for her and I showed her my commitment to sharing my life with her, and let the pain be shared.

Eda immediately knew what she did.

Eda: Dang it, Lily taught you that didn’t she and I am not sure that would work but you have made a crazy commitment to her.

Amity: Yes to both and I would do it again if I need to.

Eda: Well if anybody is going to live with Luz permanently I am glad it is you.

Amity: Thank you Eda.

Luz returned.

Luz: I have brought some goodbye presents for you Eda.

Eda: Ah kid you are going to make me tear up.

Luz: I give you a bottle of apple blood and a can of an energy drink. Remember not to have too much of either.

Eda: This is so nice, thanks kid.

Luz: Well I have to go to Amity’s airship so I will be seeing you.

Eda: See you later kid.

Luz left the room.

Eda: Despite everything that has happened she is still the same sweet girl I met years ago.

Amity: I know exactly what you mean. Well I will be going too.

Eda: Enjoy your life together, she is going to love that surprise I helped you with. Also I got something I need to ask you.

Amity: What is it?

Eda: When are you two getting hitch?

Eda took another sip of apple blood from her mug.

Amity: I am not sure when are you and Raine getting married?

Eda started coughing and spitting apple blood.

Eda: Well played boots, well played.

Amity left while giving a thumbs up. She soon went to her cat abomination airship where Luz was already sitting down.

Amity: Alright now we are heading to our home in the titan’s right upper forearm so it is not too far from the Owl House, Bonesborough, or the university.

Luz: You think of everything sweet potato.

Amity: I try now since I want this to be a surprise can you put an abomination made blindfold on.

Luz: Sure thing.

Even when she could not see and she was in the air Luz trusted Amity completely so she was fine with a blindfold on her face. As they were almost there they had a conversation.

Amity: You did not have a lot of those energy drinks right?

Luz: Amity you know that thing about making your heart explode is a myth. But do not worry I do not need those I only got that one for Eda as a goodbye gift. You know how energetic I naturally am, I do not even need coffee. Also I have been making sure I keep a healthier diet.

Amity: I know it is just you know how important you are to me so even a rumor or myth makes me nervous if it sounds like it could endanger you. Also sorry if I seem too bothersome worrying about your health for example asking you to eat healthier.

Luz: I know that plus I know you would do the same for me if I ask you.

Amity: I already am, and we are here.

Amity landed her airship and help Luz off the airship. Their Palismans are staying back as Amity wants to give Luz the tour first and Ghost will show Stringbean around later plus they are enjoying taking a nap outside.

Luz: Can I take it off now?

Amity: Yes you can.

Luz did and she saw a beautiful house with a yard surrounded by wall size hedges. The house walls were white and the house seems to be three stories tall. The tiles of the roof were a light grayish blue. The house look small from the front but it was longer on the sides. On the left there was a chimney with a small spire above it to keep the rain out. The house was between the Owl House and Blight Manor in size. But what Luz was amazed by were two features. The first is there was a window on the third floor that looked like the Owl House’s circular stain glass window only this one looked like the eye on the portal key. Just as amazing the front door looked to be modeled after the old portal door. Luz looked at Amity with her mouth open in shock.

Amity: The old portal brought you into my life now I want this door to bring you into our new life together. I modeled our home after the two homes that made us the happiest the Owl House for you and your home in the human realm for me.

Luz hugged Amity.

Luz: I love it.

Amity: Wait until you see the inside.

Luz: Well if I pass out from happiness at least I know you can give me mouth to mouth.

Amity: Luz I am willing to do that now.

Luz: We are doing that but later I want to see our home.

Amity opened the door and then she scooped Luz up and carried her inside.

Luz: Amity what are you doing?

Amity: I thought couples do this when they move into a new place together?

Luz: This is for after you get married.

Amity gently put Luz down.

Amity: This is embarrassing but at least I know you appreciate it.

Luz: I definitely do.

The floor of the house was made of a light purple tinted hardwood and Luz first noticed the grand staircase that led to the second floor. It had small purple vents between the banisters.

Amity: Well I will start with the staircase.

Luz: I like the purple decorations.

Amity: This is more than just decoration.

Amity jumped up and it looked like she was about to fall but abomination goo came out of the vents and caught her.

Luz: Wow you made abomination safety nets in the stairs.

Amity: Actually meet C.A.T.T.I.I.E. Or just Cattiie for short.

As soon as Amity said that an abomination in the form of a cat with a snake like neck came out of the vent.

Amity: Her name stands for Caring Abomination Transformation Technology Incorporated Into Environment. Basically I made an artificial protective house demon for us.

Luz: You made a Hooty for us?

Amity: No, she is quiet for one thing. Listen Luz I know nobody is targeting us but Hooty was able to keep the Owl House safe for years as long as he was in it and I want that kind of protection for us. Plus she is here to protect us from mundane things as well like accidents and she is incorporated throughout the whole territory we live in, obviously including the entire house.

Luz: You Luzproofed the house?

Amity: Listen Luz the last thing I want is for you to get hurt especially if I am responsible for you getting hurt. I do not mean to insult you.

Luz: This really is my forever home.

Amity: You are not mad?

Luz: I am so touched that you love me so much.

Amity: I really do.

They hugged and had a quick kiss.

Luz: You know I can use Theumaturgy to help protect the house. I have been learning wards recently. I just need the right supplies.

Amity: Sure, we can work on that later. Alright now let’s start with the right of the house from our perspective. First up is this room.

Amity opened the door and it was a room at the front corner of the house. There were two large windows to let in a lot of natural sunlight. There were two bookcases, along with a filing cabinet, and two desks with chairs. The desk facing towards the side of the house was much bigger than the other one.

Amity: Luz this is the study room where we can do any studying.

Luz: I love the natural lighting but why is one desk bigger?

Amity: Oh that is for when we need to study something together so one of us can move one chair towards the bigger desk.

Luz: Oh you are so sweet.

Amity: So onto the next room?

Luz: Sure.

The next room is the living room. It was quite spacious and there is a large dark purple couch and a lavender recliner that was quite wide. There is also the fireplace that has two glass doors in front that were closed when not in use. On the large table there is a crystal ball to watch shows. There is also a place for Stringbean and Ghost to sleep.

Amity: I made their beds here since as a couple moving in we do need privacy in our bedroom especially as our relationship advances.

Both of them were red in the face from hearing this.

Luz: I understand and this is a nice living room.

Amity: I am especially proud of the couch and the recliner.

Luz: What is special about them?

Amity: Well the couch can turn into a bed and no I will never ever kick you out of bed and force you to sleep on the couch. I was thinking it would be for us if we want to sleep in the living room also it could be for guests if we have to.

Luz: Well I am happy you will never do that.

Amity: Luz I know you if you ate the last of something I was saving which I know you would not do that since you would always ask me since you never want me to be upset with you, you would have gone through boiling rain in order to make it up to me since you are terrified of me hating you.

Luz was teary eyed.

Luz: I am so happy that I have an awesome understanding girlfriend.

Amity: Me too.

They then shared a kiss.

Amity: The recliner is big enough for the both of us and there is a massage feature and a heated seat feature.

Luz: Wow you got a great recliner.

Amity: Actually I made both the couch and the recliner with abomination engineering. Also both of them have hidden side compartments with chilled drink holders and snack compartments.

Luz: I am loving them a whole lot more already. You sure put in a lot of work.

Amity: Listen Luz I feel like I made half the products of an appliance store for our forever home but it is more than worth it for us to be happy together.

Luz: I wish I can do something for you.

Amity: You living here with me is more than enough for me. Also the fireplace was designed to keep the weather and heat out while enjoying the fire.

Luz: I guessed that feature when I saw the spire on the chimney.

Amity: Now ready for the next room.

Luz: I sure am, Am.

Amity giggled at Luz’s nickname for her. They went into a short hallway and there were two doors near the hallways other exit away from the living room. The next room had a gold colored chandelier and the decorations on it were stars and crescent moons. Though it was fixed to the ceiling with some poles connecting it to the walls and there was a literal safety net below it with clear plastic sheets between the holes.

Amity: It is kind of small and I overdid it with the safety precautions but this is our ball room where we can dance whenever we want.

Luz: You made a whole room just for us to dance?

Amity: Yes.

Luz: You are so romantic it is like something out of a fairy tale.

Amity: I am glad you like it.

Luz: Also I forgot to mention it but I like the light purple wooden floors.

Amity: I am glad that you like them.

Luz: Shouldn’t you say you know I wood like them?

Amity laughed at Luz’s dorky joke.

Amity: The wood is something Jerbo made that I had installed. They are made from abomination goo and wood. The abomination goo makes them more durable and prevents them from having splinters. They also repel wood eating vermin. I am glad I got Matt to add them in when he told me about them and they look nice illusions and construction magic work really well together for planning building construction.

Luz: I am really glad I helped made multitracks a thing.

Amity: Another example of your heroics, my heroine.

Amity kissed her on the cheek.

Luz: So can we see the next room?

Amity: Of course but it is not too much.

The next room was the laundry room. There were also some long rubber gloves on the wall.

Amity: I made the washer and dryer combo, and Cattiie can do the laundry.

Luz: I was wondering what the gloves were for.

Amity: Well less time spent on doing chores means more time for us to cuddle.

Luz: You got that right sweet potato.

Amity: Now we go towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was very spacious with many cabinets. The counter was quite large. There was already a wide refrigerator, sink, and stove there.

Luz: So did you make anything here too?

Amity: Yes the dishwasher under the sink and some appliances in that short yet wide cabinet.

Luz: Can I see the cabinet?

Amity: After I show you what we have behind the house.

Amity led Luz through the back door in the kitchen. When they were outside Luz saw a house size greenhouse.

Luz: Wow a private greenhouse garden just for us.

Amity: You are partially right. Also the glass is shatterproof. Since Ed was worried about breaking his glasses during his beastkeeping and potions classes he made a potion that can turn glass shatterproof and I was able to get him to make all this glass shatterproof and weather resistant.

Luz: That is handy.

Amity: Now come see the inside of it.

Luz went in and saw a variety of plants. There were also plants that made this greenhouse look more like a farm and she recognized them but not from here.

Luz: Are these fruits and vegetables from the human realm?

Amity: When I say I would do anything to keep you alive I do not mean just keeping you away from harm. I mean much more than just that. I want to give you a life where you always have enough to eat where you do not have to worry about running out of food. So I asked Willow for many plant care tips and I even transported soil from the human realm for this green house.

Luz: I do not know what to say, I am truly touched.

Amity: When I told you I want you to live with me here forever I meant it, I am going to make sure you will always have food to eat. I even made abomination based machines such as one to make milk from the coconuts, almonds, and soy plants we have and other machines I made to turn those different kinds of milk into other things like cream and butter substitutes and even ice cream.

Luz: I am still speechless.

Amity: I am glad you like it but please talk, I love the sound of your voice.

Luz: Ok Amity.

Luz gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Luz: Now let me thank you as we go in.

It was now Luz’s turn to scoop Amity and carry her inside.

Luz: I know what I said earlier but we are going to be here forever.

Amity was blushing.

Amity: You are right about that.

As they walked by the fridge a thought came into Luz’s head.

Luz: Is that why the fridge is so big to have human realm food as well?

Amity: Of course batata(sweet potato). Now as we are walking by here I want to tell you this door leads to the pantry.

Luz: Wow we have a lot of storage room for food.

Amity: Yes we do. Now let’s go see the other side of the ground floor.

As they were walking by there was another small hallway with two rooms across from each other.

Amity: The room which is a bit behind the staircase is the bathroom for this floor and this is not the one with the bathtub.

Luz: That is convenient. What is the other room?

Amity: I will show you.

When Amity opened the door Luz saw some floor mats, a bench, and a punching bag that was filled with abomination goo.

Luz: Is this a home gym?

Amity: Yes it is, I know it is not much but I thought it would be nice we are both athletic girls and we rather not work out somewhere that will lead to people staring at us and we will not like it if one of us saw the other being stared at.

Luz: So only we can stare at each other? I guess you have another reason for making this home gym.

Amity: I am not even going to deny that. But I know you like this idea and I can prove it.

Amity made an abomination boxing glove on her fist and she punched the punching bag.

Amity: Now I will get you to tell me how that made you feel but you do not have to say a word.

Amity was now listening to Luz’s heart which was racing more than normal. Luz couldn’t deny how she felt and she hugged Amity so she can hear better.

Luz: But I know what you like too.

Luz scooped up Amity and was now listening to her heart which was beating faster. Amity laughed and put her arms around Luz to hug her, her heart belongs to Luz so she might as well make sure Luz can hear it clearly. Luz then put Amity down.

Luz: Would it be weird if I ask you to exercise in shorts and a sports bra, I will join you of course.

Amity: Good you saved me the effort of asking you to do that too. Also I will like to ask would it be alright if sometimes when you are exercising by yourself can I just by come here to admire you?

Luz: Thank goodness I thought I would be too creepy if ask you about that too. Yes you may and we are definitely going to enjoy watching each other do stretches and yoga.

Amity: Oh absolutely.

Both of them were immensely happy about the boundaries they set at their home gym.

Amity: Next is the dining room.

Luz saw a large table in that room.

Amity: Nothing too fancy there are extra chairs and the table can be split up to make a smaller table but I am fine with just eating in the living room.

Luz: This will make a great party room.

Amity: Also there is a door that leads to the garage.

Luz: We have a garage?

Amity: I will show you.

They went through that door and Amity showed Luz a giant tower with a spire on top.

Luz: How did I missed that?

Amity: It is mostly to store my abomination engineering projects. I hope that is fine with you.

Luz: Of course it is you made a whole building so I get enough food to eat.

Amity: Well I like human realm food too and you can store your abomination engineering school projects in here as well.

Luz: Thanks Amity.

Amity: Now onto the second floor.

They went back inside and climbed the stairs into the second floor.

Amity: Now we will start from the same side as when we started on the ground floor.

They walked in the hallway towards the front of the house right above the study room. When Amity opened the door Luz saw an easel, a chalkboard on the wall, a file cabinet, some stacks of papers, a desk with colored pencils, regular pencils, pens, markers, chalk, paint brushes along with some tubes of paint, and some sketch books.

Luz: Amity is this an art studio?

Amity: How can I deny my favorite artist a workspace?

Luz was crying with joy and she passionately kissed Amity.

Amity was in a daze from that.

Amity: I am really happy that I know what brands of art supplies you like.

After taking some time to recover Amity continued the tour.

Amity: The next room is disappointing in comparison it is a storage room, or a room you can decide on after all this is your home too so you should make some decisions as well.

Luz: Amity I would be more than happy for you to make all the decisions when it comes to making our forever home but thanks this means a lot.

Luz gave Amity a kiss on the cheek and Amity gave one back to her.

Amity: This next one is definitely special.

There were many seats in this room. They all were built into the floor and they had cup holders. Luz realized what is this room.

Luz: Is this is a home theater!?

Amity: Well there are a couple of reasons I made this room. First is to see our favorite movies together. Plus we can make out all we want without being caught and nobody will stop us.

Luz: Have you been in the desert since you seem kind of thirsty for romance?

Amity: I don’t get it.

Luz whispered what she meant and Amity got embarrassed.

Luz: Don’t worry about it, I want to get my lips on you like I was a starving vampire.

This made Amity chuckle and she is glad her feelings were reciprocated.

Amity: I know there is no sound system or television screen but I want to buy those with you.

Luz: I am not an expert but it is a date. Also you do know I want to see horror films right?

Amity: I am aware just like we both know you like cuddling with me when I am scared. Also I am going to listen to your heartbeat when we see scary movies.

Luz: My heart is all yours and I promise to cover your eyes and ears If it gets too intense.

Amity: Thanks Luz.

They then went into the next room in there were two dress mannequins. There is also an abomination engineering based sewing machine on a desk along with other tools like rulers, sewing needles, and scissors.

Luz: Is this a sewing room?

Amity: You are good at sewing and I would love to see the outfits you will make. Also in the corner there is a freezer so you can store things for your taxidermy.

Luz: Amity I promise you any outfit you want me to make and wear no matter how embarrassing I will do it.

Amity: And I will model them alongside you for you and you alone.

They then had a passionate kiss.

Amity: You can guess the next room.

Luz and Amity: It is a library.

They giggled as they were synchronized. This was a big library with many book cases some were already filled out. Some were for Luz’s books and some were for their future books. There were several Azura themed decorations on the walls and bookcases. Amity also put in effort to bring elements of her secret hideaway from the library here.

Luz: Now this is the personal library I dreamt of.

Amity: Me too now that you are here.

Luz gave Amity a quick peck on the lips in appreciation of her flirting which was very successful.

Amity: Before we get stuck reading something together I have a few more rooms to show you.

Luz: Lead the way.

Amity: Now on this side of the second floor is the game room.

Inside there were board games and card games on shelves. Along with sports equipment in boxes.

Amity: I thought this would be fun. You can also bring some of your video games here.

Luz: This is great and what is that string up there?

Amity: As you pull that down there will be a set of collapsing stairs that will lead you to the attic.

Luz: Is that where the stain glass eye window is?

Amity: Yes although right now it is pretty empty.

Amity led Luz to the next room.

Amity: Now this is the bathroom with the bathtub.

Luz: Wow that is a big tub big enough for two.

Amity was blushing and Luz understood why it was that big. Luz also understood that even if their relationship is not there yet Amity is looking towards their future. Something Luz also eagerly anticipates.

Amity: It is and I made sure the tiles in this bathroom floor are not slippery for safety reasons.

Luz: So we go to the last room now?

Amity: You will love it.

The last room was their bedroom. There were some dressers two of which had mirrors. Also there are two nightstands on each side of the bed. The bed was a large bed and it had a light purple canopy above it.

Amity: It goes without saying we are sharing a bed from now on.

Luz: Yes and can I decorate the canopy a bit if you do not mind?

Amity: Of course you can decorate our bedroom.

Both of them got flustered hearing the phrase our bedroom but they were both smiling so they did not care how much they were blushing.

Amity: I have another surprise and it is not the walk in closet.

Luz: I am not surprised you have one you are classy and stylish.

Amity: Hey that closet is for your cute outfits too you know.

Luz blushed at the compliment she received.

Amity: Now watch this.

Amity slid the corner of the room and it opened like a door. Luz was in shock at what she just saw.

Luz: Is this a secret room?

Amity: Just like the one in Hexside, Eda taught me the spell.

Luz: Amity you have already completely stolen my heart isn’t that enough?

Amity gave Luz a cheeky smile.

Amity: You took my heart first and no it is not enough. I want all of you.

Luz gave Amity a flirty smile back.

Luz: You can have all of me.

Before the make out session started Amity remembered they still have a few more rooms left.

Amity: I need to show you the underground floors.

Luz: We have a basement?

Amity: Not quite and now follow me. I will show you all the secret doors later.

Luz and Amity went back into the dining room. Amity opened a hatch near the wall to the gym and Luz and Amity went down a well lit spiral staircase.

Amity: This is my workshop.

Luz saw this room was like a version of Alador’s lab. There is also a desk and two fuse boxes

Amity: Now that fuse box near my desk is where I keep the system for Cattiie. The one higher up on that wall is for the house. I will tell you how Cattiie works later. Also over there towards the back is the bathroom.

Luz: There is one here too?

Amity: Better safe than sorry and since food from each other realms can make us sick I think it is a good idea if a bathroom is always just a floor away.

Luz: That is an good idea.

Amity: Also there is a testing area where you can also try any dangerous projects there just please let me be with you.

Luz: Thanks Amity that is so thoughtful.

Amity: You are the most important person in my life.

Luz: So are you.

They gave each other a kiss.

Amity: Now onto the next floor, also that door there leads directly to the garage so I can move my projects and as I said you can move your abomination engineering projects there too.

Luz followed Amity down a different spiral staircase that was on the opposite side of the same wall the first spiral staircase is at. Luz could not believe what she saw, she saw a swimming pool.

Amity: I thought a private swimming pool would be nice. We can wear bikinis without worrying about strangers since we never really wore them before. Also I insist you do not use it without me being here and not just because I want to see you in a bikini which I do but for safety reasons. While Cattiie will eliminate any risk of drowning in this house I just what you to be safe. I know it sounds a bit ironic since you are a better swimmer than I am but I still worry about your safety.

Luz: I understand but the same no pool usage alone applies to you too right, I do worry about you too you know.

Amity: Of course it does and thanks for looking out for me.

Luz: Of course you always do the same for me.

Amity: But I have more to show you.

Luz followed Amity to a small room filled with tiles on the floor and the walls and two shower nozzles.

Amity: This is the shower room which will be helpful if one of us wants to shower incase things get messy with our projects whether they are art based, food based, potion based, or abomination based. Also it would be nice if one of us wants to shower and the other wants a bath we can do both.

Luz: I thought you would have said we should shower together.

Amity: Listen Luz I know despite both of us being athletes at one point we did not shower with others. I made up the excuse that showers at Hexside were subpar so I could shower at home since the other girls and the ghosts made me nervous. And I know that you told me you did not shower with other girls since you did not want to be made fun of in a very vulnerable state. So I am hoping since we love each other and trust each other one day we can shower together.

Luz: Sorry about the ghosts when you were the grudgby team captain that was due to Eda’s prank. Also thank you for understanding I look forward to the day we can shower together and we can wash each other’s back.

Amity: That sounds nice. Also there is one more surprise.

Amity showed it to Luz as it was behind a wall. It was an abomination engineering based hot tub.

Luz: A hot tub?

Amity: This idea from the human realm seems interesting so I made one. It is funny I live on the Boiling Isles where we avoid the boiling rain and sea yet I want a hot tub in my home.

Luz: You also want to see me expose more skin.

Amity’s whole face became red. Even Luz was blushing as she said that.

Amity: You want the same from me.

Luz: I will happily admit that.

They are both really happy they have a mutual understanding. After this they went back upstairs. They also saw Ghost giving Stringbean the house tour.

Amity: So I have dinner planned out we will have tacos with spiders and for dessert we will have carrot cake with imitation cream cheese that I made from the food in our greenhouse.

Luz: I see you remembered the time I told you that on Earth in some places you can eat tacos with spiders. Now I will help you, also for breakfast tomorrow I will make Azura themed pancakes.

Amity: I look forward to that.

Luz: Amity would it be alright if I put a sign saying our names that this is our home?

Amity: I am fine with that but we are not married yet.

Luz: I was thinking of putting our ship name Lumity on the sign how does that sound?

Amity was smiling.

Amity: That sounds perfect to me.

Luz: Hey Amity I know this is my forever home do you know why?

Amity: No, why?

Luz: In the human realm we have a saying home is where the heart is and you are here, Amity mi corazon(my heart).

Amity: I am so happy you mi corazon(my heart) just arrived to our forever home.

They then kissed.

They soon had their first dinner, first night asleep, and first breakfast together in their forever home, and they look forward to doing this everyday together forever.

Chapter Text

During her first semester in college Luz has heard of this migration event in the desert of Palm Stings on the titan’s raised left hand, so she and Amity went on a trip there on Amity’s cat abomination airship during the weekend. The titan’s left hand still has a desert on the back of the hand due to a combination of thermal updrafts, air currents bringing in sand and dust from other lands which end up on the back of the hand, and the proximity to the sun helps keep it warm instead of it being cold and snowy. It is still called the desert of Palm Stings even if it is the back of the hand due to the thermal updraft and air currents bringing up hot sand which looks like it is coming from the palm that and it is like the hot sandy thermal updraft is stinging the palm. Luz has bought some outfits for her and Amity. Both of them are wearing what could be called safari outfits though with some noticeable differences. Luz has shorts and a short sleeve shirt while her hat was more of an old style safari hat that looks like a conical pith helmet. Luz’s vest has pockets with zippers. Amity’s outfit had long sleeves and pants. Her safari hat was more modern and had a wide brim. Her vest has pouches with golden buttons. They have their palismans with them, they were using them as walking sticks as they were going to a location to get a great view.

Luz: I can not wait to see the wild Snorse migration.

Amity: Me neither, I really like these outfits you got for us.

Luz: Well I thought you having a safari outfit will help when you are off exploring and looking for ancient artifacts.

Amity: Luz my job related to the library/museum is not that adventurous besides I can scout ahead with abominations.

Luz: You still look great either way.

Amity: Back at you batata(sweet potato).

After walking for a bit they soon saw where they will get the perfect view. Both of them let go of their staffs and their palismans resumed their animal forms.

Luz: Now we just need to climb up this Callus Mesa so we can get a great view.

Amity: While the two of us are climbing we want you two to be on our shoulders in case of an emergency.

Both Stringbean and Ghost nodded.

Soon Luz and Amity were getting ready to climb. Amity made an abomination rope to latch to the top of the mesa, she then covered her shoes in sticky abomination goo to climb the side of this mesa. Amity also had some abomination balloons tied to her waist and she made an abomination at the bottom of the mesa to catch her just in case. Luz did something similar. She made a vine from a plant glyph to tie up to the top at the mesa. Luz also made an another plant on the ground to act as a cushion just in case, as well as summoning an Oracle apparition from her crystal ball charm bracelet to catch her if need be. Luz has one of the new glyph combination she made ready to use. This one was like a horseshoe each end has a fire and ice glyph, above them within the horseshoe shape were plant glyphs connected to a single light glyph in the middle for a total of seven glyphs. This combination makes whatever they are used on adhesive so Luz could walk on the side to the mesa walls after sticking this glyph combo to her shoes. While Luz has not used glyphs in years until recently she has made some doodles about ideas she had of potential combos and along with a book about glyphs from Lilith Luz has plenty of new glyph combos to try out. While all their preparations seem like going overboard they just want each other to be safe and still be adventurous. They started climbing up.

Luz: I am so glad you were fine with this idea.

Amity: Well it is different than just flying up and thank you for being cautious.

Luz: Well I am glad to see you doing the same for me I worry about you too.

Amity: Well we should hurry up.

Luz: Still I am glad you were fine with this idea I was nervous I would drive you up the wall.

Amity could not hold in her burst of laughter.

Amity: You are as funny as always but we should reach the top before you tell more jokes.

Luz: My bad sweet potato.

They soon reached the top of the mesa.

Luz: I see them, over there.

Amity looked in the direction Luz was pointing at and the both of them along with their palismans saw the migration of the wild Snorses of Palm Stings. They first exit their nests from underground. Then various group of snorses which have the traits of several desert snakes gathered together before the migration started. It was odd seeing a herd of animals slither and gallop at the same time but it was quite a sight to see them under the light of a sunny day. It reminded Luz of the zebra migration when she was seeing animal documentaries with her mother. Soon the migration will be over.

Luz: Hey Stringbean can you help me with something?

Luz saw Stringbean on her arm in the shape of a small Snorse. Luz giggled and whispered her idea to Stringbean. Stringbean hissed with delight.

Amity: I think we should go soon, I remember Ed mentioning manticores being native here so they may target the Snorses soon and we should avoid them.

Luz: Just a second.

Stringbean was in her octopus form helping Luz make a spell by wrapping her tentacles around her fingers. Luz used the laser spell Eda taught her to carve a message.

Amity: What are you doing?

Amity then smiled at what she saw. Luz carved a A+L in a heart on the top of the mesa. Amity kissed Luz on the cheek.

Amity: So should we fly down?

Luz: Leave that to me.

Luz had Stringbean in staff form and she tapped the bottom of her staff to make a disk of light appear and she and Amity got on it as it gently floated down towards the ground. This is another spell Eda taught her. When they reached the bottom they unsummoned the abomination and apparition.

Luz: Well this was fun I hoped you enjoyed it, it was kind of short.

Amity: Just like always you make everything fun, mesa climbing was definitely new but it was fun to try it out though I think I prefer flying.

Suddenly they heard a rustling sound but as they were worried about a manticore they saw it was something else. It was covered in some patches of reddish fur on its tan skin. It has bronze like hooves and fangs, it has two bull horns on its head. This beast has two flaming red pits for eyes where its nose would be making it look eyeless. Luz recognized it.

Luz: It’s a Slaughterbeast!

Amity tried to pull Luz away but her shoes were still sticky from the glyph. The Slaughterbeast was about to attack even before Luz yelled but it did not charge. It opened its mouth and spat a glob of orange goo. Luz waved her staff making a golden and purple forcefield as Amity pulled her towards the ground as she knew what was about to happen. The orange goo exploded in a fire like burst. Amity has an abomination gauntlet on her fist and she fired it sticking the Slaughterbeast’s mouth closed before it could fire again. Amity then summoned a giant abomination fist from the ground with Ghost in staff form to launch the bull like beast demon high into the air. Luz was holding a glowing Stringbean in staff form like she was a microphone stand. Luz went weh and a sonic blast launched the Slaughterbeast far away. Both Luz and Amity were thankful Luz has learned to replicate some of her titan powers with Stringbean to a certain extent.

Luz: Oh boy that was something.

Amity: I never thought we would see a Slaughterbeast, I see the resemblance between them and Slitherbeasts.

As they were both relived it was over they soon saw something that was a bigger cause for concern. Amity saw Luz’s vest and shirt were torn and she could see through both of them. Luz noticed Amity’s sleeve around her shoulder was torn. Both of them were worried their girlfriend was injured.

Amity: Luz if you are able to, can you get us back to my ship?

Luz: No problem.

Luz tapped the bottom of her staff and teleported them back to Amity’s airship. She has learned how to replicate the teleportation glyph with Stringbean. As soon as they were back on the ship the both of them sprang into action. Luz summoned an apparition to keep watch as Amity summoned an abomination to pilot the airship slowly. Ghost and Stringbean resumed their animal forms to be on standby after they get the medical kit just in case.

Amity: Now Luz please lay down so I can check on you.

Luz did as what was asked of her. Amity was going to use her medical knowledge she gained from her sister and mentor. Amity looked over and was glad to see there was no blood. Amity then listened to Luz’s heart it was fast but there was nothing irregular.

Amity: Now take a few deep breaths for me.

Luz did what she said.

Amity: It sounds good, do you have any difficulty breathing or any pain?

Luz: No, none at all.

Amity: Just need to check a few more things.

Amity made a spell circle and held it between her hands. This was a spell Emira taught her that would glow and flash if there was any internal bleeding near it. Luz also knows how to do this spell with Stringbean. Amity made sure to throughly check Luz and nothing was bleeding.

Amity: Do I have permission to check your ribs since I saw a tear in your clothing?

Luz: You do.

If Luz was incapable of replying for one reason or another Amity would have checked anyways and apologize later. Amity gently lift up Luz’s shirt just to where her lower ribs are near the hole in the shirt and vest. She gently touched Luz’s ribs to make sure there was no pain there or if any are broken. Normally Amity would get flustered looking at Luz’s exposed midsection like this as well as the fact Amity is touching her slim frame but she can not be flustered now Luz’s well being takes priority. While this may seem to be going overboard Amity rather be cautious now instead of regretting it later, even against as something minor as a paper cut on the finger would be something that she would immediately check on. Sadly she has more than one past experience to check even finger tips for the smallest of hazards. Luz also knew this was a bit much but she knows even if she is fine it is better for Amity to check on her to make sure she is well now rather than regret it later when it becomes too late. While at one point in her life Luz would see this as Amity thinking she is too fragile Luz now knows it is actually based on how fragile Amity can be if something happened to her human girlfriend. Especially after the blue fire bee incident a few weeks back. Though Luz would also show excessive concern for Amity’s well being fo something happened so Amity let’s Luz check on her as well even if she is fine since even if it is something minor Amity knows Luz would blame herself no matter what it is if it got worse.

Amity: I am so glad you are alright, however I will use a healing spell just in case.

The bottom of Amity’s hands glowed pink and she lightly pressed them against Luz’s ribs. This is a spell her big sister taught her.

Amity: Hey Luz can I listen to your heart for a little while longer?

Luz: You should rest.

Amity rested on Luz’s chest listening to her heart.

Amity: This really gives me a pleasant tingling sensation in my head and back.

Luz: It appears you have been feeling an ASMR effect.

Amity: What is that?

Luz: I read it once about how some sights or sound can give people pleasant sensations. It varies from person to person.

Amity: I guess I only get this reaction from your heart. I have listened to my heart using Em’s medical equipment and I never got that sensation.

Luz: Yeah out of all the hearts I listened to I never had that reaction from anybody else. I mean besides my own I only listen to the sound of animal hearts at my mother’s animal clinic.

Luz panicked a bit as she did not want what she said to be misinterpreted. Amity could hear Luz’s distress from her heartbeat.

Amity: Calm down Luz I know how despite being affectionate with people you are shy and extremely loyal, the thought of you doing anything romantic with others never once crossed my mind.

Luz: I am so lucky you know me so well, oh I should check on you too.

Luz checked Amity as well. After checking for bleeding injuries internal as well as external she made sure Amity’s lungs and heart were fine.

Luz: Alright now I need to check your shoulder.

Luz rolled up Amity’s sleeve and checked her shoulder. Normally Luz would blush at seeing Amity’s strong arms but right now she needs to make sure Amity isn’t hurt. Luz knows Amity was using her arms a lot just now but Luz also knows a reason that Amity did not display signs of pain if she is injured could be due to an adrenaline rush so Luz has to check on her either way. Luz and Amity being overly cautious in regards to each other is another trait they share. Luz was glad to see Amity was fine.

Luz: Alright you are fine but I should use an ointment I made from a potion.

Amity: You should not waste it I am fine.

Luz: Amity we both know purple is our favorite color but I am sure neither of us want a purple bruise on your snow white skin.

While Luz described Amity’s skin as snow white her face became as red as little red riding hood’s hood.

Luz got the bottle ready. She also brought one of the new glyph combinations with her. This combination is a vertical rectangle of four ice glyphs with some lines in the shape of a T above it with a fire glyph in the intersection of the T and at the other end of the rectangle there is triangle pointing downwards connecting a plant glyph with the bottom two ice glyphs. In the middle of the rectangle there was a light glyph with some circles not connected to anything else. This is a glyph that greatly enhances one aspect of a liquid at the expanse of its other properties in this case Luz will boost the ointments anti bruising properties. She placed the ointment on Amity’s shoulder and then the glyph on it. The glyph combo disappeared after it was on the ointment.

Amity: Thanks Luz.

Luz: Well I would do anything to make sure you do not have a broken bone again.

Amity: If this is about our first grudgby game it was not a broken bone and you know it has not affected me at all when it comes to standing, running, walking, or jumping.

Luz: Sorry I am just being silly.

Amity: I understand even though we talked about it a bit a while ago I will make sure you never get another scar.

Luz: Does it bother you that much? Listen Amity on the day I got this scar I failed at everything I tried, I couldn’t make our first kiss cool, I tried to rescue you but I failed and I needed to be rescued, I could not save Eda, I could not stay with King, I could not stop the draining spell, I could not save the portal everything single thing I tried to do that day failed with one exception.

Amity: What was the exception?

Luz: The one exception that I was able to succeed at was keeping you alive. Every time I see this scar in the mirror now that I am not full of guilt I think to myself you were able to do something, you kept the love of your life alive. However Amity if this scar brings you any trouble at all I will find out how to get rid of it whether by magic or surgery as one of the last things I want is for my girlfriend to feel any negative emotions towards my face.

Amity knows she does not feel that way at all towards Luz’s scar but at the moment she did not have the words to say otherwise but she does know how to display her true feelings towards Luz’s scar. Amity pulled Luz in so Luz can hear her heartbeat. Luz looked up and she saw Amity’s eyes were closed. Amity covered Luz’s scar and looked down at her. Luz can hear Amity heart rate increase as soon as she opened her eyes. Amity then moved her hand to cover all of Luz’s face except for her scar. Luz did not hear any changes in Amity’s heart rate not even by a single beat.

Amity: Luz I love your beautiful face, scar and all.

Luz: This is a pretty romantic way of saying it.

Amity: Well I thought it was better than saying it makes you look hot. Also our first kiss was perfect, you are a great kisser and it was so sweet when you held my hand as we kissed each other. Still you would do that for me?

Luz: Well we both know we would do anything for each other especially in regards for our wellbeing whether it is mental or physical.

Amity: That is correct and you have already been able to achieve some medical breakthroughs like that electricity glyph combo that can act as a defibrillator and restart a heart better then the technology of your world and with less risk of damage.

Luz: What about you making a ventilator out of an abomination balloon and tube.

They know these things they are talking about work as not long ago when a ratworm was choking on something and after they first thought it was attacking them it expired. They were able to resuscitate it as Luz made an electricity glyph combo which consisted of a zigzag of five light glyphs ending in a fire glyph to restart the ratworm’s heart. At the same time Amity made an abomination ballon with a face on it along with a tube made of abomination goo. As the abomination was breathing it was also breathing for the ratworm and the two of were able to successfully bring the ratworm back to life.

Luz: We sure are willing to go through a lot for each other.

As Luz said that both of them were thinking of what extent they would to make sure the other was fine. Amity would not hesitate to use the pain sharing spell to attempt to save Luz in the direst of circumstances if there was not other option. Even in the worst case scenario Amity knew that due to Luz not having a bile sac Amity’s own bile sac would be fine no matter what injury she would partially take from Luz and if neither of them can be saved that is more than fine with Amity as she rather fall with Luz than live without her. Luz feels the same way as she would rather use the blood from her own injury for glyph magic or Theumaturgy to save Amity if she was hurt worse than Luz was and just like Amity she rather go down with her than to be without her. Fortunately in case of either of them need blood they do not have to do that as Luz has discovered a blood glyph combo. When she read about it in the book she got from Lilith it referred to the blood glyph combo as the as life water glyph combination. Luz thought it was a healing liquid but it made a literal bloody mess. The blood glyph combo consists of a diagonal rectangle facing towards the middle with three plant glyphs in it as it is missing a section. Another diagonal rectangle consisting of two ice glyph has a corner facing the missing section of the plant glyphs. Below them is a tear drop shape with an ice glyph and a light glyph in it. While this glyph combo was messy it still has medical uses and now Luz only needs containers for her Theumaturgy college course. In the event one of them needs blood and they can not use a blood glyph combo they happily found out when Amity was trying to use a blood type detecting spell she learned from Emira that she and Luz have the same blood type. They considered it a minor miracle despite both of them are beings from different dimensions.

Amity: True that is partially why we are trying to achieve immortality.

Luz: Well the four of us are trying you are researching Boiling Isles history for that. I am checking earth mythology about gaining immortality and seeing if it exists in the demon realm. King is trying to see if titan magic can help as the Collector is searching the stars. I hope we can find the right kind where we only have to do it once and there is no significant draw backs.

Amity: You can do it, you achieved miracles before.

Luz: I can say the same to you. Though even if it is not perfect we know we will accept each other no matter what form immortality can take. I remember that movie we saw about love and immortality.

Two years ago Luz and Amity saw this romance movie where a human witch saved this man who was a medical scholar by turning him into a monster that can disguise himself as a normal man. They were together for centuries but when the witch was badly injured and the monstrous man has studied cybernetics he was able to save the witch’s life. Neither of them were quite human anymore but their love will let them endure all of eternity. The movie was not well received but Luz and Amity loved it. They ended up having a conversation about how they will still love each other and take care of each other no matter what they could become. It was like the time they were theorizing who the author of Azura really was.

Amity: I remember I said if you were a werewolf I would get food for you so you will have plenty to eat and not dirty your claws.

Luz: I told you if you were a vampire I would let you have some of my blood and I would protect you from the sun.

Amity: If you were a living skeleton I would use abomination goo to sculpt around you so you look like yourself again.

Luz: I then said if you were a ghost I would let you posses me so you can enjoy life again.

Amity: I followed this up by saying if you were a zombie I would patch you up and get food for you which is probably easier in the demon realm than the human realm.

Luz: True and I said if you were a ghoulish mummy I would make any potions that you would need. It is lucky that demon realm food is pretty ghoulish. No offense.

Amity: Luz I have lived here for almost my whole life and I still find some food ghoulish.

Luz: Yeah especially things like Shepherds Die.

Shepherds Die is a dish consisting of a undead shepherd which was cut apart with a cleaver.

Amity: Have you never tried it? The way Willow’s dads make it is pretty good.

Luz looked at Amity.

Luz: Wow I hope that is unrelated to the way you drool sometimes when you look at me.

Luz was making a joke but Amity interpreted it in another way.

Amity: Luz I have never once in my life thought about eating you.

Luz could see Amity was feeling scared and panicking.

Luz: No I was making a dumb joke hermosa(beautiful). I was never once worried about that happening between us. Amity we give each other nicknames based on food such as sweet potato, I was never once scared of you eating me.

Amity was calming down.

Amity: Great because I was worried what some people may eat on the Boiling Isles or even what I am fine with eating has ever made you scared of me.

Luz: I would never get scared of something like that. Amity listen despite being unable to digest a lot of things here I am very tolerant of what people here eat even to the point of making jokes.

Amity: What jokes?

Luz: Well King once said he likes to eat the heart of his enemies and he said mine would taste sweet and I said it probably is sweet due to all the sugar I eat.

Amity: He doesn’t make any jokes like that anymore right?

Luz: No, this human’s heart is your property but my point is I was never intolerant of what you would choose to eat. Amity the day I started crushing on you was the day you gave me a fairy pie with live fairies in it and I know for a fact they can talk. Amity if there was a snack which consisted of either chocolate coated or sugar coated mini hearts that beat, which I am not even sure exists but there is a strong possibly they do.

Amity gave a shrug as if she was saying she wouldn’t be surprised if they do.

Luz: Well if they do exist I would be fine with you eating them while listening to my heartbeat with you saying how you love these sweet beating hearts as you would call me sweet heart and you will know I would not be scared of you by the sound of my heart. I mean even if I compared you hair to cotton candy or your blush to a tomato or say when I first saw you read to children I called you a sour lemon drop with a sweet center you will never be scared of me eating you right?

Amity: I believe you Luz and no I was never once scared of you despite the food nicknames, actually I love them I guess I overreacted.

Luz: Even when I think of you as a snack?

Amity: Ok that is definitely some form of endearment, what does it mean?

Luz whispered to Amity what it means. Amity became a tomato as soon as she heard that explanation.

Luz: I am sorry was that too dirty?

Amity: I definitely think of you in the same way.

Luz: Really?

Amity: Now let me show you how I want my mouth all over you, my pretty snack.

Amity then proceeded to kiss Luz’s face a lot.

Luz: Be careful Amity I do not want you to get light headed in this altitude, oh wait too late.

Luz then placed a light glyph above Amity’s head and activated it. Amity burst out in laughter as she saw the result of this cheesy joke.

Amity: You are such a massive dork.

Luz: And I am all yours.

Amity: And I am so happy you are.

Both of them sat on the floor and Luz was now laying against Amity listening to her heart. Their palismans cuddled on their legs.

Amity: Luz I am really proud how cautious you can be.

Luz: Well I can’t take all the credit, it is thanks to this.

Luz held the moon necklace Amity gave her for their third anniversary of dating.

Luz: With this so close to my heart it makes me think my life is just not my own it also belongs to Amity and I need to do a better job of protecting it.

Luz gave Amity a kiss on the neck.

Amity: I feel the same way about the hair band you gave me on that anniversary. How it reminds me to be a better person like you and to always think about what will make us happy together.

Amity gave Luz a kiss on the forehead.

Luz: Are you sure you do not want to listen to my heart?

Amity: I am happy how we are now and I am sorry that I may have torn our outfits a bit.

Luz: It is alright your safety is more important and I can sew these up easily.

Luz had an idea, she grabbed Amity’s hand and placed the back of her hand against her heart. Amity’s face became red.

Amity: What are you doing?

Luz: Showing appreciation, I know you can not hear my heart when I am listening to yours like this so will you accept this instead? I am not sure I am ready for the front part of you hand to be above my heart yet.

Amity: Trust me Luz this display of affection is more than enough for me.

After a loving and passionate kiss they both rested their heads against each other on the flight back home.

No matter what may happen they will forever care about each other whether it is physical or emotional, and it does not matter if it is something serious or something silly they will always care for each other.

Chapter Text

After Luz starts her second semester at college she is going to have a date with Amity where they will both show off some cool magic they have not got the chance to show each other yet. Amity is heading towards outside the college to find Luz. Amity is wearing her work attire minus her work gloves. Ghost is with her. Amity immediately recognizes Luz as Luz is the only one whose uniform consist of all the track colors. Her belt is red, orange, and yellow for the bard, beastkeeping, and potion tracks. Her cowl is light blue, brown, and dark blue, for the illusion, construction, and healing tracks. Her hood is orchid, green, and purple for the abomination, plant, and Oracle tracks. Amity also saw Stringbean with her. Luz also has her charm bracelet with the mini crystal ball with her. Luz is currently looking at this dark purple paper that seems to be made of energy. Amity recognized it as a form of Oracle magic as she has seen it often enough growing up. Amity wrapped her arms around Luz’s shoulders while behind her and kissed her cheek.

Luz: Hola (hi) Amity. Sorry I did not notice you.

Amity: It is ok, do you have some homework to do?

Luz: No it is just a useful magic that helps keep me organized. I will meet you at the Owl House I have to change first.

Amity: No problem.

Luz grabbed Stringbean in staff form and teleported to her room to change. Amity flew towards the Owl House as they still like to practice magic in front of it.

Amity arrived there first and Luz teleported back. She was wearing the attire she wore before her Kingcenera. Though Amity knows the shirt she is wearing is a tank top as Luz has a similar shirt with short sleeves. Amity knows her well enough to tell the difference between them.

Luz: I am so glad I learned how to do that glyph combo with Stringbean.

Amity: Hey Luz I know what I want to show you can I go first?

Luz: Of course.

Amity activated her spell and soon Luz and Amity were surrounded by abomination goo and they were transported to another place. Luz recognized it as her room in the dorms.

Luz: You can teleport with abomination goo?

Amity: Yes I can, I learned it from my dad.

Amity moved her hand and knocked over a pile of clean laundry onto the bed.

Amity: I am sorry, I will help pick it up.

Luz: It is ok.

As Amity picked it up she saw what looked like dark grey shorts with small bats on them. Luz screamed as she started panicking.

Amity: Are these some new boxers you got?

Luz was red in the face.

Luz: Yes.

Amity: They suit you and do not be so flustered we have both accidentally opened the wrong drawers in each other’s’ rooms before.

Luz: So you would not get flustered if I say I bet you probably got a pair with a white cat on them or maybe some purple ones?

Amity was now blushing bright red.

Amity: Point taken. You know me too well which is something I love about you, and we should go now.

Amity teleported them back to in front of the Owl House after they clean up the pile of clean laundry.

Amity: Sorry for the unexpected surprise, I did not mean to invade your privacy.

Luz: I am not mad, it is fine. And should we call it even?

Amity: I am not upset with you, now I should show you my next trick. Ghost how about you show off.

Ghost nodded. Ghost made her tail into a circle and she summoned an abomination from the ground. Ghost then made her mouth circular and she shot a pink fireball at the abomination which withstood it. Ghost then sent the abomination away.

Luz: Wow that was impressive, good girl.

Luz scratched Ghost’s chin and she purred. Ghost is only fine with this level of contact with Amity, Luz, and her fellow palismans. Stringbean nuzzled with Ghost and hissed a compliment towards her.

Amity: Ghost and I were inspired by how Stringbean can use magic when not in staff form so we found something for us.

Luz: You two are such a clever pair of kittens.

Ghost smiled as she saw Amity blushed.

Amity: But I still have a few tricks of my own.

Amity made a tiny abomination in her hand and covered her eyes.

Amity: Now raise some fingers and do this a couple of times.

Luz did what Amity asked of her.

Amity: Four, five, two, seven, three, and nine.

Luz: You can see through it just like I can use Oracle magic to see through apparitions?

Amity: Pretty cool now take it and whisper something to it.

Luz did and Amity heard everything.

Amity: Thank you for the complement about my ponytail.

Luz: Your welcome.

Amity then summoned away the tiny abomination.

Amity: Now I should step back a bit before I do this next one.

After she did that Amity was surrounded in a burst of pink flames as she moved to be behind Luz before moving around to be in front of her again.

Amity: I learned that from miss Lilith, I know it is sort of like Hunter’s magic but I become the fire before reforming so it is a bit different.

Luz: That may be a fire spell but that is so cool. You are on fire or should I say you were on fire, no wait you were the fire, darn it I messed it up.

Amity chuckled a bit.

Amity: Thanks for the laugh Luz but I still have a few more tricks.

Amity made two spell circles with her hands and activated two different spells. One made a fist of thorn covered vines come from the ground and a fist made out of wood also grew out of the ground.

Amity: Willow taught me the wood one and the vine one is from modifying the thorn vault. I thought I should expand on what I can use for my spells to punch things in case I do not have abomination goo.

Luz: Good idea going with plants.

Amity: Oh I have more to show you.

Amity made two more spell circles. One made a fist of water and the other made a fist of stone.

Luz: Is that the one Hunter can do, the water one?

Amity: Both actually, he helped me learn these two in exchange for helping him with an abomination gift for Darius. However I still have two more.

Amity made two more fists come out of the ground one of mud and one of snow.

Amity: You know I can manipulate mud and Em taught me the snow one then I learned how to mold it to what I want it to be.

Luz: Dang girl, you are going to be really handy.

Amity started laughing at Luz’s corny joke.

Amity: I really love being with you.

Luz: I love being with you too.

They shared a kiss.

Amity: Oh I can not wait to show you these next ones.

Amity’s hands were covered in pink fire. From her left a pink arm made of fire stretched out as a floating hand of pink fire was obeying her right hand.

Amity: I learned these from miss Lilith and I have fine control with them. I can also cover my hands or Ghost in pink flames to hit harder. Can you please step back a bit and make something with a plant glyph so I can demonstrate my skills?

Luz: I have something cooler in mind.

Stringbean turned into her octopus form and she wrapped some tentacles around Luz’s fingers then she made two spell circles. One produced a sword of ice covered in energy and the other a sword of metal. Stringbean then resume her snakeshifter form.

Luz: The ice one was taught to me by Eda and for the metal one Hunter taught it to me when I helped him learn some dance moves for Willow.

Amity: How was he?

Luz: He told me it was a disaster, but Willow liked it so it worked out.

Amity picked up the ice sword with the floating pink fire hand and it did not melt, she picked up the metal sword with the pink fire arm and she was able to toss it into the air and catch it.

Luz: So cool, or should I say you are so hot, no I mean the spells were hot, not to say you aren’t hot, you are the hottest girl I know.

Amity giggled seeing Luz get flustered once more.

Amity: I appreciate the compliment.

Luz: I could tell Lilith taught you those spells, I have not seen them since I had to rescue Eda. The arm one destroyed the healing hat, and the floating one nearly pushed me into a spike.

Amity froze and she canceled her spells making both swords Luz created drop onto the ground.

Amity: I am so sorry, I will never use those spells ever again!

Luz: Calm down Amity I am not mad or scared at all and I can prove it, can you use the floating hand one to pull me closer.

Amity: I can’t.

Luz: I trust you.

Amity did what Luz asked and pulled her towards her.

Luz: Now tell me if I sound scared?

Luz brought Amity’s head to her chest so Amity can listen to Luz’s heart. It was the same strong rhythm Amity always hears when she listens to it, there was not a single hint of panic even though this spell almost ended Luz’s life long ago.

Luz: Amity when I think of hand or arms shaped spells I think of you. Plus her fire was blue not the lovely pink flames you create. If you can be fine with me liking and using Oracle magic despite what happened during most of your life I can be fine with these spells, they really suit you.

Amity teared up.

Amity: Thanks Luz.

Luz: It is no problem, plus I can learn from bad experiences as well.

Amity saw Luz make a glyph combo on a piece of paper. It was a horseshoe shaped one with two fire glyphs and two plant glyphs. When Luz placed it on the ground a muddy four fingered hand with claws came out and gave a thumbs up.

Luz: You can guess where I learned it from and it was used against me however I decided to make it more of an asset than a source of trauma. When I first used it I thought it was bad since it tried to attack me but I figured out it was because I activated it and I did not give it instructions.

Amity: Isn’t that like the abomination glyph you showed me? Also can you help me with that one, I want to try and replicate that spell with my own magic.

Luz: This is the basis of the abomination glyph, I added two light glyphs on the line between the plant glyphs across from each other to make the abomination glyph combo. And sure I can help you replicate that spell. Now should I get ready for my display of magic?

Amity: Go for it, batata(sweet potato).

Luz: Now be ready for a show.

Luz took out a fan of light glyphs. Stringbean floated above Luz’s head. Stringbean turned her head into that of a dragon’s and breathed out dark purple fire into the sky as her tail became like a rattlesnake’s to use bard magic to make the light glyphs float in a semi circle before activating them creating a impressive light show.

Amity started clapping at this light show. She has seen Stringbean use bard magic like this before but this glyph display was something new. Amity has also seen Stringbean turn into venomous creatures or web creating creature so Luz can replicate some potions. With Stringbean Luz could use all nine tracks without needing anything else.

Luz: Now time for something new that perhaps no Palisman has ever done.

Amity and Ghost were intrigued.

Luz: Now Stringbean if you would.

Stringbean hissed and turned into an octopus around Luz’s hand. Stringbean changed the pattern of her skin like an octopus and she made a light glyph. She activated the glyph but it was still on her.

Amity: That was incredible.

Luz: I was worried if Stringbean would get hurt by this but her magic supply is able to handle it pretty well. We have only really mastered the basic glyphs but I have started practicing with some glyph combos. Stringbean can you show your other magic using form I can wear so I can show Amity and Ghost?

Amity was confused as she has only ever seen the octopus form Luz can wear as a glove to help her cast spells. Stringbean became a giant squid. Granted she was still a lot smaller than a real giant squid but she could stretch her arms to be bigger than Luz. Stringbean was behind Luz and she wrapped a tentacle around each of Luz’s limbs. The two arms with clubs wrapped around Luz’s waist. The last four tentacles looked like a cape or a cloak. Even Stringbean’s squid head looked like a witche’s hat. It was quite a sight to see.

Amity: Wow this is amazing.

Luz: Thanks we thought of a giant octopus form but this form has more limbs and her head looks more like a witch’s hat. But this is form is more than just for looks.

A glyph combo appeared on the tentacle wrapped around Luz’s right leg. It was the levitation glyph which was just the hover glyph combo with a fire glyph in the empty bottom corner and an ice glyph in the empty upper corner. Another glyph combo appeared on the tentacle on Luz’s left arm. This one looked to be four ice glyphs in the shape of a heater shield three on top and one at the bottom with a light glyph the middle. This glyph combo made a round energy shield. On the other arm tentacle a light glyph activated.

Amity: Luz you look so incredible.

Luz: Thanks I wanted to see if I can replicate the titan magic I had and it sort of works, I am sure we will get better at it.

Amity agreed as Luz looks divine like this. Luz went back on the ground and Stringbean resumed her normal form.

Luz: But I still have some more tricks that are not glyph related.

Luz outstretched her hand and Stringbean resumed her staff form. Luz slammed the bottom of her staff on the ground and an eruption of dark purple energy erupted behind her that briefly took the form of a snake.

Luz: Eda taught me it though hers was an owl.

Amity: Can you teach me that, I want to make a cat.

Luz: Of course hermosa(beautiful). But I have a few more snake themed ones to show you.

Amity’s interest was already peaked now anything more was a bonus.

Luz tapped her staff on the ground and made snake topiary.

Luz: Willow taught me that one.

Luz slammed the bottom of her staff on the ground and out from the ground an enormous snake made out of stone came out. Amity marveled at the size of the serpent big enough to swallow a person. Luz tapped her staff a few more times causing smaller snakes to emerge from the neck of the first one.

Luz: How does my stone hydra look?

Amity: Marvelous.

Luz: But I have some more snake themed ones to show and new Oracle magic that you have not seen me use before.

Stringbean resumed her snakeshifter form as Amity wondered what Luz could show as she has seen Luz use Oracle magic to see the future, scry on different locations, use apparitions, make light, shoot purple flames, and make energy constructs like ropes, domes, and arms, the lasts of which Luz taught Amity how to do. The last five Luz has used to replicate glyph magic to an extent before it came back. Luz raised her hand and three snakes made out of shadows that have dark grey spots and glowing yellow eyes appeared.

Luz: Eda taught me this one and as you can guess like the stone hydra this originally looked like owls well Hooty to be specific.

Amity: This is cool.

Luz: Thanks but I got innovated with these ones.

Amity: I bet you did.

Luz put a blank piece of paper on the floor then she rearranged the shadows and she made a light glyph, when she activated it the shadows were consumed as the paper was fine and Luz simply stretched the shadows to replace them.

Luz: I am hoping to combine the glyph shadows with the shadow snakes so they can breath out different attacks.

Amity: That would be really cool.

Luz: That may be cool, but this will be romantic.

She then made several plant glyphs on the ground which grew into red flowers arranged in the shape of a heart.

Amity: You are such a wonderfully romantic girlfriend.

Luz: So are you.

Luz kneeled and kissed Amity’s hand making her entire face blush, Amity wanted a little payback. When Luz looked up at her Amity kissed her on the forehead, before kissing her on the mouth.

Amity: Thank you my lovely girlfriend.

Luz was now blushing as Ghost and Stringbean were happy to see their owners happy.

Luz: Now I want show you something else, but first I should change a bit.

Luz took off her purple overshirt with a snake design. Amity became flustered as she saw Luz’s upper arms. One has the same Flapjack tattoo she shares with Amity and their friends. On her other upper arm Luz has a small blue snake tattoo with two flowers at the end of its tail to remember her father. Amity found her tattoos to be very attractive to say the least just like Luz likes Amity’s defined biceps. Amity suddenly remembered a memory. She was on a double date with Willow and Hunter. Amity ask them about how they feel about attraction and tattoos. Hunter said he finds Willow’s Falpjack tattoo attractive and he said since Flapjack always tried to help him get along with others he believes Flapjack would be very happy if their tattoos of him brings them closer even in a romantic sense. Luz then said the same goes for her tattoo dedicated to her father since he used flowers to make his love ones be closer and she is sure he would be happy if the tattoo dedicated to him helps the relationship his daughter has improve even further. Luz said basically if Amity finds her tattoo hot she be honest about it, which Amity was honest about when she was alone with Luz when she was walking her home. At one point during the double date when Hunter and Luz went to get drinks Amity asked Willow what about scars. Willow said Hunter actually teared up when she told him how cool his scars make him look, he said that was the first time he was ever happy to have them and that is his first good memory related to them. Amity was honest about how she feels about Luz’s scar a few months back after a incident with a slaughter beast.

Luz: Now watch this.

Luz stretched her arms forwards and some shadows crawled from her tank top straps and turned into what looked like snake tattoos specifically cobras going from her shoulders around her own tattoos to her wrists.

Luz: Taadaa instant tattoos with none of the pain, and I can change them however I want. So what do you think?

Amity more than just liked them. She was feeling how Luz gets when she sees her use her abomination gauntlets. Amity could feel her heartbeat so loudly that she is sure Luz must be able to hear it. She would get embarrassed but Luz listens to her heart a lot and it does belong to her so Amity decided to share this amount of love with Luz.

Luz: Hey Amity are you ok you sort of froze.

Amity pulled Luz closer to her and let her hear her heart.

Luz: Wow your heart is really moving but I wonder why?

Amity: Let me get your heart to beat like mine and you will understand.

Amity unbuttoned her own overshirt and took it off as she is wearing her white tanktop underneath her arms were fully visible. Amity made abomination gauntlets and she flexed her arms a bit. Luz was blushing as she was smiling with a goofy lovestruck grin.

Luz: Oh I get it now.

Amity then listened to Luz’s heart again. It was beating faster than normal.

Amity: Yup that is how mine was beating. Also you look like quite the bad girl with those tattoos, and a pretty hot one at that.

Luz was still blushing and she still had a goofy smile. Though Amity still considers her hot and cool, even with that smile.

Luz: Well I was a founding member of the bad girl coven. But tell me is it the extra ear piercings, the tattoos, or the scar?

Amity: All of that and the tank top.

Luz: You know Amity I am really glad how I got my scar and how it looks. We both know I probably would have gotten a face scar at some point with how I am. Not only did it not cost me anything worse than a bit of eyebrow, and the fact it looks stylish but I got it being cool saving you instead of failing at something.

Amity: You did save me, and it does look really cool.

Luz was embolden by this praise and started speaking with more of a seductive tone.

Luz: Say Amity how about we plan a future date and I can show you I can make snake tattoos on more than just my arms, like my waist, lower back, shoulders, and legs. How does that sound?

Amity could feel like she was melting from her words.

Amity: I will make sure to return the favor.

Now Luz felt like she was melting as she was blushing.

Amity: Those shadow tattoos really do look like a piece of artwork

Luz: Thanks and also nobody had to cobrar(charge) me for them.

Luz moved the cobra tattoos and Amity laughed as she knows the Spanish word for charging somebody money is similar to the English word for cobra.

Luz: And this has practical uses.

Luz used the shadow snake tattoos and she made a light glyph in one palm and a plant glyph in the other palm. Luz made a pink flower to give to Amity and the light orb activating only took the shadow and Luz’s palm was unharmed.

Amity: That is really smart to always have glyphs with you.

Luz: Thanks and it is definitely a lot smarter than doing something stupid like getting tattoos or carving them since they destroy paper so why wouldn’t they mess with skin.

Amity: I am surprised you had the time to think of this.

Luz: Well it is easier when I only have work from one school to attend to instead of high school, and Hexside at the same time. Also I can use these tattoos in a more literal sense.

The shadow snake tattoos detached and they became three dimensional.

Amity: So you can actually fight with them.

Luz: Yes I can.

Both Luz and Amity put their overshirts back on.

Amity: I wish I can show you the transformation spell I know.

Luz: Please show me.

Amity: I can’t.

Luz: Do you need something, is it unfinished, or is it dangerous.

Amity: No to all three. Just please don’t be scared, and don’t hate or attack me. And especially don’t reject me.

Luz hugged Amity.

Luz: Amity I can reject my own heart and dreams before I reject you.

Amity knows Luz is speaking the truth so after taking a few steps back. Amity used the most advance abomination magic she knows and she took on an abomination form. Luz looked at her with eyes full of surprise. Amity was made of abomination goo with extra golden eyes along her ponytail, arms, shoulders, and torso. Amity did not change her height though she did have a column of abomination goo instead of legs. Amity looked at Luz with fear and was worried about rejection. Luz walked over to her and wiped a tear away. Even if Amity is currently made of abomination goo Luz can still tell when she cries. Luz place both hands on her cheeks and pulled Amity in for an extremely passionate kiss. Luz did not care if Amity is made of abomination goo as she kissed her. Luz knows she is still kissing the love of her life. Amity hugged her back as they kissed,

Luz: You look beautiful.

Amity: I was so scared you would hate this magic I learned.

Luz: Why would I hate it?

Amity: I am made of goo and have multiple eyes.

Luz now gets what she meant, she was worried this would bring back some trauma.

Luz: Amity all I see is the girl I love. Also should I give back the goo from when I kissed you? Also can you see through those eyes?

Amity: It is fine, I regenerate. Yes I can see you from different angles, still are you fine with kissing and hugging me like this?

Luz: Amity the day you met me I was covered in abomination goo it does not bother me, especially if it is you.

Amity: I am so glad this worked out.

Luz: So are you encased in goo or made of it?

Amity: Made of it, you can put your hands through me if you want to test it out.

Luz poked a finger through Amity’s abomination hand and she was telling the truth.

Luz: Wait did you learn this from Darius I thought he and your dad did not get along?

Amity: I did and they don’t but my dad wanted to help me and Hunter spoke on my behalf as well. Darius saw what I was capable of and he said I had good control and quick responses in contrast to my dad who he said is mostly brute force when he is not tinkering away. He then asked me why I wanted to learn how to do this. I told him to keep you safe or to make you happy. He said he would have not taught me anything if the reason I gave him was for power or simple curiosity and I gave him some respectable answers. This magic took me almost two years to get to where I am now and I still have some issues with doing other forms of magic in this form or even manipulating abominations at a distance in this form.

Luz: Well you are amazing as always. Also I have something to show you.

Amity: Thank you and is it another glyph combo?

Luz: No but please don’t be scared.

Amity resumed her normal form.

Amity: I won’t, I promise.

Luz activated some Oracle magic and she was encased in shadows, she soon became a being made of shadows. She was not the shadowy silhouette of a person as some features were highlighted by dark grey and her eyes were completely yellow and glowing. Luz was just as scared as Amity was earlier. Amity draped her arms around Luz’s shoulders. Amity smiled and though it was hard to tell she kissed Luz on the mouth as she stared into Luz’s glowing yellow eyes.

Luz: Oh thank titan, I thought I would remind you of Grom.

Amity: You may be made of shadows but you are still my Luz(light).

Luz: Thanks I was scared this would bring back some trauma for you.

Amity: Luz you know you dancing with me is one of my happiest memories.

Luz: I was also worried it did not fit me as I like to be a witch with a dark side but this may be a bit too much since my name literally means the opposite.

Amity: Luz it still fits you remember the difference between shadows and darkness is shadows need the light to exist. Plus in this form it reminds me of light even in the darkest times which is absolutely who you are.

Luz teared up a bit which Amity wiped away even if Luz was shadowy.

Amity: So are you covered in shadows?

Luz: No I am made of it.

Luz walked through Amity, Amity just felt like a cold breeze went pass her though since it was Luz she still felt warm.

Amity: That is something, I remember seeing Oracle magic like this before but this seems different.

Luz: Well it was inspired by that, but the one who taught me was the Collector since I saw him as a shadow before. King helped me get in touch with the Collector and he was interested in somebody learning magic from him for fun. The Collector sent this star like screen so he can give me advice. The Collector liked how I combined his shadow form, Oracle shadow magic, and my creativity together and he told me this was the most fun he had teaching magic. Like you it also took me like two years.

Amity: We are really more alike than what most would expect.

Luz: True but we love the differences between us as well.

Luz resumed her normal form.

Amity: Yes we do.

Luz: I can also partially take different forms.

Luz turned her arms into snakes.

Luz: See I can have snake for arms.

Amity chuckled as Luz said the same thing when she was sick with the common mold.

Amity: So can you see out of those eyes?

Luz brought her shadow snake arms next to Amity’s head and was speaking through them.

Luz: Yes I can. Is this annoying?

Amity was looking at Luz who seemed to be worried if this was too childish for her. Amity turned her hand into the head of a cat made from abomination goo. She moved her hand to be in front of Luz.

Amity: No it is not, meow.

Luz started laughing and Amity started join in on the laughter too.

Luz: So you did this when you were a kid too?

Amity: Luz you know how lonely I was growing up, that I talked to my diary like it was my only friend are you really surprised I would do something like this or talk to an abomination?

Luz: You have a point. Oh we should do hand puppets when we read to kids at the library.

Amity: That is a wonderful idea Luz.

Luz turned her arms back to normal as Amity did the same with her hand.

Luz: I can also use it for observation.

Luz made three shadow snakes come from her hair which she can share vision with.

Amity giggled as this reminded her of a hairstyle Luz had when she was a little kid. Luz retracted the shadow snake pigtails.

Luz: I have even figured out how to do that body modification with this partial shadow magic.

Amity: Which one?

Amity knows Luz found some more radical body modification cool but besides the extra ear piercings and the two tattoos she has she would not get them.

Luz opened her mouth and a long snake tongue made out of shadows flicked Amity’s nose before retracting back.

Luz: I was talking about tongue splitting, I can do this instead with none of the health problems or pain.

Amity had an idea.

Amity: I am getting some revenge.

Amity stood next to Luz and she transformed her tongue into abomination goo in the form of a cat’s tongue and she licked Luz’s cheek. Amity turned her tongue back to normal.

Amity: Sorry was that too rough?

Luz: It tickles.

Luz and Amity sighed.

Luz and Amity: It is going to be interesting if you do that when we kiss. Oh titan did I just said that out loud!?

Luz and Amity looked at each other and they started laughing. While this was extremely embarrassing and a bit dirty minded at least they knew their other half felt the same.

Luz: I have an idea I want to try can you use that illusion spell that makes a full length mirror? I want to imitate some things I saw in a manga/anime with you while I am in my shadow form.

Amity: Sure.

Amity did not know what Luz wanted to do but she loves the excitement and giddiness in her voice. After Amity made the mirror Luz made her shadow form wrap around Amity giving her a scarf and Amity was holding a sword made of shadows connected to the scarf.

Amity: This looks nice but where are you Luz?

Luz: Look at the blade.

Amity saw a dark grey silhouette in the blade with glowing yellow eyes.

Luz: A character in a manga I like can do this with shadows. Does it feel weird?

Amity: No it does not. It feels like you are hugging me.

Luz: I want to try out some other things but the other ones do not have a scarf.

Amity: Go for it.

The forms Luz took in her shadow form were a large shuriken, a large kunai, and a chain connected to two small scythes.

Amity: Wow you are impressive Luz.

Luz: Thanks but I have seen the Collector do crazier shadow tricks, and I have seen Spirit Devourer a lot.

Amity could tell this was the name of the manga/anime Luz is referring to.

Luz: Say Amity can you shapeshift in your abomination form?

Amity: As easily as I manipulate abominations.

Luz: Can we switch, I want you to take a couple of different forms as well.

Amity: Sure.

Luz resumed her normal form as Amity assumed her abomination form.

Luz: Can you make it look like your upper half is coming from my back and can you make your hands look like gauntlets?

Amity: That should not be too hard.

Amity followed what Luz said.

Amity: I look like some kind of guardian spirit that punches, I like it.

Luz: Next can you become a dragon with wings for arms still, attached to my back?

Amity: Do you want me to fly?

Luz: You don’t have to.

Amity decided to make the effort anyways, she turned her arms into large dragon like wings of abomination goo and she lifted Luz off of the ground a bit.

Luz: You are so cool, also are you ok?

Amity: So are you. Yes the long neck and wing arms are odd but seeing out of an abomination cat head where you hand used to be is weirder.

Luz: Now for the next one can you become a pair of bat wings, a pair of arms from my back and three swords one is like a short meat cleaver and the other two are long and thin.

Amity: They will all be connected though.

Luz: No problem and don’t strain yourself.

Amity: I won’t.

Amity followed Luz’s idea as best she could. She was also able to lift Luz off the ground as two extra arms held swords as Luz carried the shortest one.

Luz: Hey Amity I can see your abomination eyes but where can I talk to you? Also this doesn’t hurt right?

Amity formed a mouth on the sword Luz was carrying.

Amity: I am here Luz, and no it doesn’t.

Luz: Funny the character who can transform into swords has his mouth on it too. Amity thanks for making this a cool reality.

Amity: Thanks for the idea I want to do next.

Luz: Sure I am ready sweet potato.

Amity changed her abomination form to be knight armor that completely covered Luz.

Luz: Wow this is so rad.

Amity made her mouth appear above the visor.

Amity: You don’t feel weird right?

Luz: No you are just hugging me.

Amity: Great now try to make a spell circle to make a light spell.

Luz did but she made a pink spell circle and made a light orb.

Luz: Am I using your magic!

Amity: Well more like I am making it look like you can use my magic.

Luz: This is so unbelievable.

Luz hugged herself so she would hug Amity.

Amity: Like this I am your armor and you are almost literally my heart.

Luz: And you are the magic in my heart. Oh let’s combine your abomination form with my shadow form.

Amity: Alright.

They did and they saw what they looked like in the mirror. It was Amity’s abomination form with curls of shadows in her hair, stripes of shadows on her body, shadow snakes on her arms with eyes included, and Luz’s eyes were above her own. Luz can speak through the shadow snakes on their arms.

Amity: This is interesting.

Luz: I got the idea from this show I watched with my mom that had magic and space travel. Though Vee was weirded out a bit by a shapeshifting main character on it that sounded like her.

Amity: We should try new tricks with this combined form sometime and at some point I should see that show with you and that anime too.

Luz: I am not sure about the anime one as it may remind you of bad memories. It has a bad witch mother who is cruel to her child with pink hair.

Amity: I am willing to try if you are with me.

Luz: Alright and should we defuse ourselves?

Amity: Sure, I am getting hungry, we should get dinner.

They resumed their normal forms and decided to walk while holding hands as their palismans followed them. Amity partially turned her ponytail into abomination goo so she can stare at Luz. However Amity found out Luz had the same idea as she has a shadow snake as a ponytail to look at her. They both giggled at the same idea. Amity’s abomination ponytail, and Luz’s shadow snake ponytail wrapped around each other so they can still gaze at each other even as they walked and kept their eyes looking forward.

While the magic they can learn may transform their very being it can not transform their feelings for each other.

Chapter Text

Luz is 17 and Amity is 18 years old and Luz is going to give her college application to Eda. She knows she will get in but she wants to give it in person. Amity is waiting to take her there before they enjoy a date. They are looking forward as they have not been together for a week.

After evening Luz walks through the portal door wearing dark purple sneakers, a black hoodie with a light purple bat on the front, and jeans. She has the necklace Amity gave her from their last anniversary underneath her hoodie. She soon sees Amity. Amity is dressed in a white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up to her elbows, dark purple pants, and black boots. Luz also sees Amity using the hair band she gave her during that last anniversary.

Luz: Sweet potato I am here.

Amity looks at her with the biggest smile on her face and a shine in her eyes like no other as soon as she sees her.

Amity: I am so happy to see you.

Luz: We have seen each other through our scrolls everyday sweet potato.

Amity: You know it is not the same. Also why are you wearing a hoodie? It is a hot day today.

Luz: It was cold in the human realm.

Amity: I think you should take it off before something happens.

Luz closed her eyes and put her forearm over her forehead.

Luz speaking in an aristocratic sounding voice: You are telling me to undress in public how scandalous!

Amity started becoming red in the face.

Amity: No that is not what I meant, I meant I am worried about you overheating!

Amity sees Luz opened one of her eyes and is peaking underneath her forearm as she has a mischievous smile on her face. Amity decided to turn the tables on her.

Amity: So if we were somewhere private you would do it?

Amity had a smug smirk on her face as it was Luz’s turn to be red in the face. Luz came up with a counter attack.

Luz: You would like me to do that wouldn’t you?

Now Amity was the blushing mess.

Amity: Alright you win, you know we are not there yet.

Luz: Sorry sweet potato, want me to kiss you to make you feel better?

Amity gave Luz a wide smile

Amity: Always.

Luz put her hands on Amity’s hips to pull her in to be closer to her.

Luz: Was that too forward?

Amity: You know I am only comfortable with you doing that to me but remember I can do it too.

Amity wrapped her arms around Luz’s waist and lowered them and pulled Luz in causing Luz to release a small eep as Amity grabbed Luz’s behind.

Amity: Sorry I have been a bit starved for affection this past week.

Luz: Me too.

They kissed without moving their hands. The passionate kiss lasted longer than they were expecting.

After they were done they were about to go.

Amity: Where is Stringbean?

Luz: She is with my mama. So can you and Ghost give me a ride?

Amity: Sure do you have your oracle charm bracelet or any potions with you?

Luz: I am just dropping a paper off to Eda at the university.

Amity: I suppose you are right, you will be fine.

Luz: Of course I will be, I have you with me.

Amity closed her eyes and smiled while blushing as she felt happy about what Luz said. During this Amity summoned Ghost in staff form.

Amity: Hop on.

Luz did and had her arms around Amity’s waist grabbing onto her own arms instead of Amity’s waist so she does not accidentally distract Amity as she is flying.

Amity: So how was this week?

Luz: I was so busy, I swear Hexside projects and tests are so much easier than human school and I hate how they kept me from you.

Amity: Remember this is your last year of high school, after that you never have to see that horrible place again.

Amity has an extremely low and spiteful opinion on that highschool due how Luz was treated.

Amity: So what classes are you going to take in college?

Luz: All of them.

Amity: That is so you.

Luz: Including abomination engineering.

Amity: I look forward to working with you.

Luz: I just hope I will be a good enough employee.

Amity: Luz you are my partner, I want you to be my partner in business as well as in life or maybe as an assistant when it comes to work as I do have a lot of projects in mind and I will probably be leading them. However no matter what you are my equal and I value your input.

Luz: Thanks Ams and I will be happy to help. So how was your week?

Amity: Well I was finishing this big abomination engineering project and I just finished talking to some investors so the projects is a go.

Luz: That is great, what is it?

Amity: You will have to wait and see it when it is done though it will take more than a year, but it should be finished before you finish college.

Luz: Alright I will wait, and that explains why you are looking so stylish today.

Amity: Really? It is not that unique or colorful.

Luz: Well some accessories could help like small rectangular glasses with golden chains and a pocky or lollipop in your mouth.

Amity started to get flustered.

Amity: Any particular reason why you picked that?

Luz: Well I would say you would look like a hot librarian but you are already one.

Amity was all red in the face, but since she is flying she regained her composure.

Amity: I thank you for calling me hot.

Luz: Which is a fact.

Amity smiled a bit after Luz said that.

Amity: However I am not a librarian.

Luz: Still hot though. I wish I could return the favor but the best I can offer is me wearing this without the hoodie during our date and all I have under here is a tank top instead of something with long sleeves.

Amity could practically feel steam coming from her head.

Amity: That is more than enough for me, and we are here.

They soon landed and they were surprised by another pair of guests. Raine was flying on their fox palisman with King, and a bag of elixirs.

Raine: Hello Luz and Amity.

Luz: Nice to see you Raine.

Amity: Hello.

King: Luz!

King climbed up Luz and was hugging her from the inside of her hoodie.

Luz: I missed you too, you little fuzzball.

King: You say that but you have hair like rotten candy.

Luz: What can I say my cotton candy haired goddess has the hair color and I have the fluffiness.

Amity in a bashful voice: Luz!

Raine: Amity I would like to tell you your father said he thanks you for attending that meeting by yourself with your future project. Also your sister says hello.

Amity: Thank you for telling me that.

Luz: I hope that anti branding machine will work soon.

Raine: Things are progressing well hopefully it will work within the next year.

King: So why are you visiting here, you are not attending yet.

Luz: I wanted to give my future headmaster my application.

King: You know you will get in no matter what. This is a school for wild magic and if Eda is basically the queen of wild magic you are the princess just like I am the king of demons, or is that now titan of demons? No matter, either way we are royalty.

Luz: Don’t forget Amity, she is my Grom Queen.

Amity: Still better than being called princess, and Luz you are my Grom Queen.

King: Oh yeah that was a cool fight.

Raine: I hate to interrupt, but we need to get these elixirs to Eda.

Luz: Has she been stressed?

Raine: Yes I am going to help her with the paperwork.

Luz: Maybe I shouldn’t give her my application right now.

King: Weh? That is crazy talk.

Raine: I am sure she will appreciate it that you are delivering it in person.

Amity: I am sure she will be happy just to see you, I know I am.

Luz smiled.

Luz: Alright onward to the headmaster’s office.

Raine and Amity teleported their palismans away.

They soon went to her office after crossing many branches and walkways.

King: This is like a maze.

Luz: You know Eda, it would not be that shocking if she has the school built like a maze. I am surprised there are no traps or hidden pranks.

Raine: I talked her out of it.

Amity thought she heard something.

Amity: Anybody hear a weird noise?

The others nodded no.

They reached the door and they saw it was partially opened.

Raine: Eda must have left it open.

Luz opened the door.

Luz: Eda we are here?

However she was not there and it was very messy.

Amity: Is this a normal mess?

King: This is bad I see claw marks and I do not smell apple blood.

King, Luz, and Raine knew this a bad sigh more than Amity did.

Luz: We have to find her.

King: I will try to find her trail.

Raine: I will leave the elixirs here.

Amity had her abomination gauntlets ready incase something attacked Eda’s office and she soon saw what happened. There was a screech as a winged beast landed from above smiling with sharp jagged teeth and eyes that were pitch black. It also has a golden hook for a hand that contrasted it’s otherwise grey colored body.

Raine: Oh no.

King: This is bad.

Luz: We have to get out of here.

Amity: I am on it.

Amity enlarged her gauntlets and she grabbed the Owl Beast by her shoulders and tossed her to the side so they can get pass her. They ran as they heard leaves rustling, branches breaking, and claws cutting through wood as well as a metal hood hitting wood as the Owl Beast was chasing them from above. Raine and Amity summoned their palismans and King and Luz hopped on so they can escape the small wooden hallways of the university. All they could hear were the angry screeches.

They soon made it outside and the Owl Beast landed on the ground.

Raine: First I need to make sure she will be less dangerous.

Raine turned their palisman back into its violin form and they played music as they telekinetically removed the Owl Beast’s hook arm.

Raine: Sorry but I had to.

The Owl Beast only screeched, she then lunged forward towards Raine.

Luz: Hey over here.

The Owl Beats looked in Luz’s direction. Amity took advantage of this moment to keep Luz safe. Amity fired an abomination gauntlet at The Owl Beast’s left hind leg. The Owl Beast managed to escape but it detached a leg.

Luz: Huh so she can still do that as the Owl Beast.

Amity: Luz focus and move away from her.

King wanted to help more but he did not want to show the new light glyph to Luz yet.

Raine: I will put her to sleep.

Raine summoned a wind instrument and blew a smoke cloud towards the Owl Beats to put her to sleep. However the Owl Beats flapped her wing and blew the smoke back at them and King.

Raine: This is really bad.

King: No! I am not ready to nap yet.

He started snoring.

Luz: We have to get them away.

Amity: I will distract her.

Amity made an abomination to fight the Owl Beast. As Luz carried King and Amity used a telekinesis spell to carry Raine. They were able to put them in a safe place as Amity summoned Ghost and sent her flying in her staff form to retrieve the bag of elixirs.

Luz and Amity returned to see where the Owl Beast is however it was gone. The Owl Beast dove down and Amity got Luz out of the way.

Luz: I will knock it down and when it is you will pin it down.

Amity: I am on it.

Luz ran towards where the Owl Beast is missing an arm and she slid underneath it like when she is trying to touch base in a baseball game. After she slid behind her Luz turned around without getting up and she kicked the Owl Beast’s remaining hind leg making the Owl Beast fall. Amity then summoned giant abomination arms from the ground to pin the Owl Beast to the ground by grabbing into her wings. Luz quickly ran away from her at incredible speed. Fortunately Ghost arrived soon followed by King and Raine.

King: I know how to get her to calm down, Luz grab an elixir, Amity keep holding her down, and Raine can you reattach her leg without sound?

Raine: Yes I can.

Luz: I am ready.

Amity: I am holding her down but she is very stubborn.

Raine used a spell to telekinetically reattach the Owl Beast’s leg. King used his squeak of rage and the Owl Beast started laughing. Amity was making sure the abomination hands did not loosen their grip. As she was laughing Luz threw the elixir into the Owl Beast’s mouth and she returned to being Eda.

Eda: What happened, oh no are you alright?

Luz: Only some branches, wood, and leaves were hurt.

King grabbed Eda’s hook arm and ran towards her.

King: Here is your hook back.

Eda: Thanks pipsqueak.

Raine walked towards Eda.

Eda: I am sorry Rainestorm I was not trying to hide how stressed I was.

Raine: I know, I just wish we got here sooner.

King and Raine were walking her back to her office.

Eda: It is a good thing you arrived before Lily arrives she sounded annoyed on the crow phone and I do not want to hear her nag at me today.

After they left Luz turned to face Amity as she teleported Ghost away.

Amity: Aren’t you going to give her your application?

Luz: I am going to let Eda have a break before I give it to her.

Amity: Luz I have to tell you something.

Luz: Amity I am so sorry, I was so reckless.

Amity hugged Luz.

Amity: You were incredible.

Luz: You are not mad?

Amity: What did you do wrong batata(sweet potato)?

Luz: I ran towards her.

Amity: And you knew how to avoid being hurt and how to take her down all without even standing. You are my awesome girlfriend.

Luz: No, you are.

They hugged each other as they kissed.

Sadly this was interrupted by a screech only much louder.

Amity: How can she be the Owl Beast again?

Luz had a realization.

Luz: Oh no.

Amity saw that Luz was more concerned about this than what happened earlier.

Luz: Didn’t Eda said Lilith was coming here soon?

Soon they saw her or more accurately the Raven Beast. She was covered in pitch black feathers instead of grey ones. She was much bigger than the Owl Beast and her menacing grin was even worse.

Amity: Why is she so big?!

Luz: I have no clue maybe because she older?

Amity summoned an abomination but with a flick of her wing the Raven Beast sent it flying splattering it all over the stairway to the tree blocking the path for Eda, Raine, and King. The Raven Beast looked at Luz and was going towards her. Amity made an abomination lasso and wrapped it around the Raven Beast’s neck.

Amity: Stay away from her.

The Raven Beast was now going towards Amity.

Luz: Don’t you touch her.

Luz jumped on the Raven Beast’s back. The Raven Beast was trying to shake her off. When it looked like Luz may loose her grip Amity had a plan.

Amity: Luz get ready to jump.

Amity made an abomination gauntlet on her left hand and fired it at the Raven Beast. This distracted her enough for Luz jump off. When the Raven Beast was close Amity used the light spell.

Luz: Amity that doesn’t work on her I think it is because ravens are active during the day.

Amity then made an abomination fist come out of the ground and it punched the Raven Beast in the stomach. The Raven Beast screeched and started flying off.

Luz: We can’t let her escape, I need a bat.

Amity made an abomination baseball bat for Luz as they were running to where the Raven Beast is flying. Amity was firing abomination gauntlets at the Raven Beast as it dodged them in midair. Luz found a good size rock and she tossed it up and hit it with the abomination baseball bat. The rock hit the joint of the right wing and the Raven Beast was soon plummeting towards the ground.

Luz: Did that work?

Amity: Just to be safe I will restrain her.

Amity used a spell that created ropes of pink energy around the Raven Beast’s limbs. However they soon heard the ropes start to break.

Luz: Why is she so much tougher to deal with?

The Raven Beast broke free and swiped at Luz who dodged it. Luz dodged the multiple swipes with ease. Avoiding baseballs and other players tagging her out really improved her already impressive dodging reflexes. Luz saw an opening and she tossed the abomination baseball bat at the Raven Beast’s legs making her fall. Luz ran as the Raven Beast got back up and was about to chase her. Amity used a spell and trapped the Raven Beast in a cage of pink energy.

Amity: Are you ok?

Luz: Uh huh.

As they briefly reminisced about memories from the past, the Raven Beast was able to climb out of the energy cage despite being shocked multiple times.

Amity: Oh come on.

Amity saw the Raven Beast has knocked over Luz. Amity summoned Ghost back.

Amity: Ghost protect Luz.

Amity tossed Ghost towards Luz and as soon as Luz grabbed Ghost she created a forcefield with her. A spell ironically Lilith taught Amity. However the forcefield was beginning to crack from the Raven Beast’s claws.

Amity: You are not hurting my Luz or my palisman!

Amity created a wave of abomination goo underneath her feet and she was riding it. In front for her she made this giant spiked shield with an abomination face on it. She tackled the Raven Beast with the shield and kept going forward slamming the Raven Beast into the University tree.

Amity: Fly away and get help.

The Raven Beast tried to bite her however Amity punched her in the face with an enlarged abomination gauntlet dazing her.

Amity: Also Luz I do not want you to see what I am about to do.

Luz: You better be ok after this.

Amity: I will, a Blight always keeps her word!

Luz flew away towards the blocked entrance as quickly as she could so she could get back to Amity.

Amity: Sorry about his miss Lilith, but I know you will recover.

In the distance Luz heard Amity change her abomination gauntlet into something else. As Luz was about to use Ghost to remove the abomination goo she found King, Eda, and Raine stuck to it.

Luz: What happened?

Eda: We heard the screeching and I grabbed these two and flew here in my harpy form, but I got stuck.

Raine: We brought elixirs for Lilith.

King: I am so happy I can talk without opening my mouth right now.

Luz: I will get you out so we can rescue Amity.

Luz tapped Ghost on the ground and the abomination goo melted away. Soon the four of them arrived to where Amity was fighting the Raven Beast, it was a horrific sight and the mess was not just due to the abomination goo.

Amity who had an abomination sword in her hand was standing above the Raven Beast who was not intact. Several abomination hands from the ground were holding the limbs and head of the Raven Beast which were cut off though she was still moving them without a problem she was just restrained in pieces.

Amity: I am sorry. I had to do this since she was going to attack Luz and I knew she would be ok after what happened earlier. Luz has told me how Eda can survive losing her head before so I took drastic action.

Luz smiled and ran towards Amity to hug her.

Luz: You are ok!

Eda: Dang boots you sure did a number on Lily.

King: Weh, I missed a cool fight.

Raine: I did not expect her to be this big.

Amity: I will put her together again at the right time as she takes an elixir.

They did that and Lilith was back to normal.

Lilith: Why do I feel less stiff?

Amity: Sorry I sort of dismembered you to stop you.

Lilith: Oddly enough I feel more relaxed.

Eda: Lily what got you so stressed?

Lilith: It was a bad day ending with Flora calling and I accidentally ripped part of a page of a historical document. I changed when I tripped on the way here.

Luz: This paper would a copy of it be fine?

Lilith: You mean you have a spell for that?

Luz: Actually if you have enough trust in me I could get it in a photo copier in the human realm and make extra. I can do that tomorrow.

Lilith: Thank titan you are my niece.

Luz: No problem cool aunt Lilith.

Lilith: Amity I am sorry for nearly attacking Luz. How can I make it up to you?

Amity: That is fine and sorry for dismembering you.

Lilith: You did the right course of action compared to the alternative and I insist. How about I pay for a meal at this restaurant I know when you go there on a date? Also yes there is food Luz can digest there.

Amity: I accept if you really insist.

Lilith: I do.

Raine: I think she should get some rest.

Eda: I will help you up sis and give you a cup of apple blood.

King: I will hold onto a elixir for you just in case.

The four of them were heading back into Eda’s office. Luz gave Amity Ghost back as Amity was cleaning up the mess made of abomination goo.

Amity: And done.

Luz: Busy night tonight.

Amity: Shouldn’t you hand that paper now?

Luz: It has been a long day I am sure Eda would rather rest.

Amity: Luz you are already here, I am sure she will accept it.

Luz: I am sure you are right.

When Luz turned around she saw this bird skull with an extremely long spinal column. As soon as she screamed Amity jumped between them and made giant abomination gauntlets on her arms and she slammed them on the side of bird skull which made it collapse.

Amity: What was that?

Luz: That was Hooty.

Amity: What happened to him?!

Luz: He must have been washing his skin.

Soon Raine on their palisman with King along with Lilith and Eda in their harpy forms arrived.

Eda: Dang it Hooty.

King: Ew.

Raine: I remember the first time I saw him like that.

Lilith: Hootcifer wake up.

Hooty: Hoot what hit me Lulu?

Lilith: You scared Luz and Amity got defensive.

Hooty: Hoot sorry about that Amity and Luz.

Lilith: I told you that you should have your skin on before coming here.

Hooty: Sorry I was worried when I saw the feather trail, hoot.

Amity: Sorry for knocking you out.

Hooty: I am just glad Lulu is fine.

Amity: Now can you please put your skin back on.

Lilith: I will fly Hooty back so he can put his skin on.

Lilith flew away with Hooty.

Raine: I need some apple blood after that.

King: I need a lot of cookies and milk.

Amity: Ask her.

Eda: Ask me what?

Luz: I have my application with me I wanted to give it to you.

Eda: You are already in kid. But after tonight normal paper work sounds pretty calming. I will give you the official reply later.

Luz: Sounds good Eda, now I got a date with Amity to go to.

Eda: Have fun kiddo.

Eda waved goodbye as they flew away on Ghost.

Amity: Luz are you ok? I know you have bad memories of Eda’s Owl Beast form.

Luz: You are right but I do not feel as scared as I thought I would be. It is kind of nostalgic in a way not that I want to do anything dangerous soon but I am glad I can still be ok without magic, at least to an extent.

Amity: Luz you are incredible.

Luz: Thanks, I once was able to fight a lot of people with a plastic sword before I could do any kind of magic.

Amity: Well you still got the moves.

Luz: Thank you, but I rather be raven-ing about how awesome my girlfriend is even though we owl know it is true.

Amity burst out in laughter at Luz’s corny joke. Amity was also happy Luz is not trying to mask any pain or fear with jokes. Luz was simply happy, which brought Amity more joy than any of her awesome girlfriend’s dorky jokes though she loves them too. They soon landed in front of the portal door. Luz took off her hoodie as she felt warmer now after what happened. She was wearing the tank top she mentioned earlier and Amity was thankful for that.

Luz: So we eat Chinese food and then we cuddle as we watch a romantic comedy?

Amity used illusion magic to make the glasses Luz talked about earlier. With those glasses on Amity looked at Luz.

Amity: Sounds perfect.

They kissed and they held hands as they left through the portal to start their date at the Noceda house.

While even the safest of things may turn disastrous the love and support they have for each other will see these lovebirds through anything.

Chapter Text

A few months after the Isles were saved Luz is at her computer editing a video waiting for Amity to arrive so they can check out this new menu item from a place that sells pretzels. Luz is wearing a short sleeved blue and green stripe shirt, red sneakers, and the pair of Jean shorts she brought to the isles. Soon Stringbean plopped on Luz’s head as an octopus.

Luz: Hey my little noodle pile what is the situation?

Luz heard a giggle behind her. A giggle she will always recognize. Luz turned around and she saw Amity. Amity is wearing a pink short sleeve shirt with a pocket protector with a white cat on it, a pair of purple shorts, and pink sneakers. She also had her purse with her.

Luz: Sweet potato!

Luz ran to hug Amity who was waiting with outstretched arms ready to receive the hug. Stringbean detached herself from Luz to hug Ghost.

Amity: So we are going to this donut place?

Luz: This place sells soft pretzels actually but I can see how you confused the two. They have this new one with macadamia nuts, strawberries, and white chocolate.

Amity: Well shall we go?

Luz: Yes, bye Stringbean and Ghost.

Their palismans waved goodbye as Luz and Amity waved at them. Luz and Amity went to the pretzel place, along the way Amity kept Luz up to date about events at Hexside. They greatly enjoyed the pretzels though they may have enjoyed how they saw each other get food stuck to their face which they would have to use a napkin to wipe away. Luz ordered some pretzels for Camila, Vee, and their palismans. Along the way they walked by something they rather not have gone anywhere near.

Amity: We should go another direction.

Luz heard what Amity said but she did not move as she saw something that should have been there was no more. What was once a statue of two brothers there was now of only the older one and what looked like some kind of molten sludge near the base of the statue. The base of the statue itself was partially sunken into the ground.

Luz: What happened here?

Amity: Luz we need to talk, can we talk on the steps in front of the portal after we drop the bag of pretzels?

Luz: Sure thing Amity.

Amity was quiet on the whole way there. Luz wanted to say something to make her feel better but she did not think a distraction like talking about books or anime would help and Luz felt that Amity did not want to hear jokes right now. After putting the bag of pretzels on the table in the kitchen the two girlfriends went to the steps in front of the portal and sat down.

Luz: I am ready to listen if you want to talk.

Amity: Remember how I have been helping clean up the isles lately?

Luz: I remember.

Since Hexside needed some repairs before it could start again and Luz had to attend high school Amity had too much free time. She has been helping clean up the isles. Specifically she was destroying everything she could that reminded people of the former emperor. She was far from the only one who has been doing this but she was particularly determined. Due to her personal fury she was quite destructive as she has used her fire magic to burn any trace of him. Such examples include stone statues of him and Amity even found his staff and turned it into melted metal with her abomination magic which she could now make corrosive as that is an advance skill of abomination magic which she can use now since her eyes occasionally glow like Willow’s and Gus’s eyes. Despite how stressful her life was before meeting Luz she never displayed that before but nearly losing her was more stress then even she could manage to held back causing her abomination magic to become corrosive.

Luz: You have also helped me forget about him by destroying somethings related to that jerk such as burning his journal, melting the mask fragment I had, and you told me about this medicine that I gave to the echo mouse so he could never repeat what he got from the journal again. Not that I need the journal anymore since with the Collector and King’s help we know how to make another portal if something happens to the new one, plus glyphs are gone so it is not good for that anymore.

Amity: Right and I could not handle the thought of that jerk having a statue where you live so I got rid of it.

Luz: Amity what exactly happened?

Amity: It is best if I show you.

Amity made a large spell circle and within it was images like the time Amity showed Luz what Grom was. Inside the spell circle it showed Amity at night. As soon as she walked out of the portal she cast an invisibility spell after covering herself in abomination goo including two spiked gauntlets. She went towards the statue and cast a large spell to make things look normal. She then formed a blade of abomination goo that became corrosive and cut the statue of the younger brother at the ankles. Amity caught the statue with a giant abomination hand before it shattered but this was only to prevent any noises. Amity then grabbed the statue by the neck. She raised her left fist and as her eyes glowed pink the outer layer of her abomination gauntlet became corrosive but that was not all it was also covered in pink flames. She punched the statue straight in the mouth. Her fiery acidic gauntlet was destroying the stone statue. The illusion did not show it but there was a noise due to a chemical reaction that sounded like screams. Though even if this was the real him and he screamed she would not hesitate to do this to him. In fact she may have been even less merciful. The statue was filling up with abomination goo and was beginning to crack. The fact it was also melting prevented it from shattering apart. As Amity melted it the statue became skeletal and it had a sorrowful expression, not that this spared it of Amity’s fury. Soon the statue collapsed and burned a hole in the ground near the rest of the statue looking like a feeble skeleton. Amity got rid of the abomination goo that was on it along with cooling down the flames with the abomination goo then she left.

Amity: So that is why that statue is not there anymore.

Luz: Wow you were thorough covering your tracks.

Amity: You are not mad?

Luz: You handled it better than I would have. If our positions were reversed I would probably just blast it with Stringbean.

Amity: But there is a lot more to the story.

Luz: I am listening.

Amity: I prevented the possibility of the statue getting rebuilt.

Luz: How, did you place a curse on it?

Amity: It wasn’t like that. Have you heard of Oak Island?

Luz: Yeah it was this island where they said this treasure was buried.

Amity: Right, one day when you were at school months ago I heard of Oak Island on the tv where this treasure was buried and when I heard of this curse how where the treasure was buried it would mysteriously flood again whenever people would dig down. I was thinking maybe there was a portal there to the demon realm but then I found out the cause of it.

Luz: It was a series of tunnels leading to the water where everytime somebody would dig towards the treasure it would flood again preventing people from digging further.

Amity: Yes, so I copied that idea to weaken the ground around the statue to prevent it from being replaced or completed so he could never be on it again.

Luz: How did you do that?

Amity: I went to the flooded graveyard and I made made some small abominations go underground near the water to find a path leading to where the statues are while also avoiding anything man made like power lines or plumbing. I did the next step as I created roots with a spell and I had the abominations carry them to the statues so the water from the graveyard would flood every time people dug around the statue. It looked natural so nobody would get suspicious. Also while I was there I found his grave and destroyed it both the headstone and the empty coffin beneath it.

Luz: That is extremely well thought out, so people, would think the flood was just caused by plant roots?

Amity: That is the idea.

Luz: Wow I am impressed, this must have taken you more than one night.

Being with Eda and King as increased Luz’s tolerance for mischief like this.

Amity: It did but there are a lot more things than I did than just that. Do you remember what we told people in the Boiling Isles about him?

Luz: I remember.

When people had questions about the former emperor and Gus’s dad wanted to do an interview the Hexsquad told them about how the emperor was a moldy piece of palistrom wood and was never human. They did not lie in fact they all drank blabber serum and said the same thing. They all fundamentally could not believe he was ever human and there were many pieces of evidence backing this up. The mindscape Luz and Hunter saw looked to be incomplete at first they thought it was just him repressing things but then they learned he could possess people and possibly corpses so they believe he is a moldy monster that thought he was human. Which makes sense as whenever he was in human form he never once looked like the statue of him or his journal despite being able to shapeshift. It made more sense that he first possessed some dead witch hunter’s body and he only thought he was human. Which would explain his denial of his monstrous state since he kept saying he was human even though he clearly was not. Gus could not verify his humanity either despite seeing his memories and neither could Kikimora despite spying on him. Even the Collector admitted he was kind of goopy when he first saw him. So instead of a evil witch hunter who was human it was a moldy deluded monster which is what the isles would remember him as.

Amity: I did something similar here.

Luz: How?

Amity: I talked to Masha about altering his past. They were uncomfortable with just erasing history but they hated the thought of him having a statue after what Vee went through so they suggested we change it instead of eliminating it. I said we could forge some documents and Masha told me of some papers and quills during that era but it would not matter since they would look brand new. I thought of a way to fix that.

Luz: How did you do that, was it some aging spell?

Amity: No.

Luz saw Amity was shaking a bit as she clasped her hands, Luz grabbed her hands to comfort her.

Amity: I talked to Lilith and got her help. Normally she would be against this but with that jerk she was enthusiastic about it after all he altered Boiling Isles history so his history deserved to be messed up as well. So after I made some replicas of the fake documents and accounts from that era and placed them in bottles. With her help I found some time pools of the correct era before she went there the first time and I buried the bottles so they would actually be a few centuries old. I later dug them up and destroyed the evidence of his existence and replaced them with these forge documents. Please don’t be mad.

Luz: Mad? I am not made, I am impressed you handled time pools so well to get what you want without changing anything.

Amity: To be honest I thought of waiting for him and getting rid of him but there were a few problems such as no original portal being made and some people may not even be born including me but the first reason that came to mind prevented me from doing that.

Luz: What was it?

Amity: If I did that everything would change for the isles but I had no idea if it would have helped you in the future. I did not want you to end up sad and alone.

Luz hugged Amity.

Luz: Thank you hermosa(beautiful).

Amity: Anything for you.

They stopped hugging after a few minutes.

Luz: So what did you write in those fake documents?

Amity: After I destroyed the original documents the ones I replaced them with said Caleb was an orphan and only child who met a witch and was charmed by her. He went with her and a visiting witch hunter chased after them but fell and was soon eaten by a bear.

Luz: Wow that was anticlimactic and mundane.

Amity smirked.

Amity: Right?

Luz smiled back happy to see Amity in better spirits.

Amity: Luz I am sorry my temper got the best of me in this case and I went through all this.

Luz: Your temper has been better and I am willing to help in anyway I can to get rid of anything related to him.

(They did not know this but months later thanks to an anniversary gift Luz gave to Amity which enhanced her magic Amity used the paper disintegration spell she knows when Luz told her it would be safe to thanks to oracle magic. Amity destroyed every written trace of Caleb having a brother. People who remember him having a brother just think it is part of the Mandela effect. Also the statue’s destruction was blamed on a conspiracy nut who went missing.)

Amity: Thank you. Also thanks to you my temper went from a wildfire to a very precise flamethrower though now it was hotter than ever. I can not just accept what happened to you because of him. He already almost petrified you and then you may have gone through something worse than Petrification. It makes me so infuriated.

Amity clenched her left fist which now had her abomination gauntlet on as it was engulfed in fire as her eyes glowed pink to the point other than glowing pink no other features of her eyes were visible. At the same time spikes of corrosive abomination goo came out of the ground and were soon covered in pink flames. Luz kissed Amity on the cheek calming her down.

Amity: Sorry, it is just how can somebody as wonderful and kind as you go through something that horrible.

Luz: I understand what you mean even though judging from what the titan said I was still more alive than he was and he had a heartbeat.

Amity: I know that just like I know that with the accounts from the Collector, Eda, and King it most likely means you were teleported away by the titan and you were not brought back from the dead because you didn’t die. Still it was traumatic and it affected us both to the point we have trouble sleeping due to extreme separation anxiety. You need my intact glove that I had at Eclipse Lake to sleep well just like I need to hug that photo of you that you gave me so I don’t get nightmares because I almost lost you.

Luz saw Amity was tearing up and she wiped away her tears.

Luz: Would it make you feel better if I told you how I got him more than that moron got me?

Amity was already feeling better. Ever since that day Luz refused to call that jerk by a name, mostly she just says something insulting about him. Which is actually a common trend in the Boiling Isles mostly by those who do not want to acknowledge him due to being tricked by him. Amity is also happy Luz is doing this as she wants Luz to express her negativity about him towards him and not at herself.

Amity: Maybe.

Luz: Well I am pretty sure I petrified a lot of him as the mold went grey and crumbled. Plus there were other things like the boiling rain which sounded more painful than his mold breath, and he lost an entire eyebrow due to the rain. Also I think I turned some of him into plants which I think is a new one.

Amity: Thanks I do feel better though I still feel that as soon as he exited Hunter I should have burned him alive. Sorry if that sounds too violent.

Luz: I get it, I wondered if things would have turned better if I used the Petrification glyph combo on him. Though knowing me it probably would have hit one of you guys. Sorry if I damaged your impression of me.

Amity placed her hand on Luz’s cheek.

Amity: Luz if you insulted him or enjoyed his death and even laughed as he died I would not think any less of you. You definitely earned that right even though you are too kind for that.

Luz: I am not that kind. I am not sure but I think I summoned the boiling rain. I am not bothered by the fact if I did it but I am concerned I refuse to feel bad about it. Which is weird considering after I met the titan I told him that I felt guilty for wanting with all my heart that the Collector would blast that dumb mold in an instant. But I was just stupid thinking I saw something good in him that he was trying to save people in his own twisted way, I will never make that mistake again.

Amity: Luz you were not stupid, he was just not worthy of your kindness. If you were not kind how you normally are the Collector would have never been your friend and I would not have fallen in love with you.

Luz: Thanks Amity though I may need your help in being better about it in the future.

Amity: I will be happy to help. Also you shouldn’t feel bad about the boiling rain it was pragmatic since we know he could survive being splattered so you did the smart thing by preventing him from coming back together. It is still amazing how you refused to attack him directly despite everything after you depowered him.

Luz: You really think so?

Amity: I know so. Just like I know for a fact that despite what he put you through that fact that you felt guilty for wanting him destroyed in an instant which is way more merciful than anybody on the Boiling Isles would be to him shows just how kind, just, and merciful your heart truly is.

Luz: You really believe that?

Amity: Luz your heart is more wonderful and magnificent than any other, not even the heart of a Titan can compare.

Luz started tearing up and Amity gave Luz a kiss on the forehead.

Luz: Thanks sweet potato. Though I do not think I am that nice I did almost set Kikimora on fire when I was rescuing Eda. I guess I kind of have a dark side in a bad way.

Amity: I would not say it was a bad dark side, I do not know if this is from me being from the Boiling Isles or how I was raised but I find you more attractive after you told me that. I hope you do not think less of me.

Luz: Do you think less of me if I told you I was attracted to you more than normal when you were trying to punch Odalia in the face?

Amity tackled Luz and kissed her on the lips. They both looked at each other at first in shock as they blushed which soon turned to giggling. Amity let out a sigh as they both sat up but then Amity had a cast down look on her face. Luz knows Amity still has something that she is still concerned about.

Amity: You are so great Luz, I just wish I could have been there for you. Abomination magic is even effective against fire I could have protected you. And I mean I could have prevent that from happening otherwise there is no way I could have saved you.

Luz noticed Amity started to cry.

Amity: Why can’t I ever save you even though you saved me so many times? I can not even protect you from the bullies at your high school. Why can I never give you a fraction of the love you give me?

Luz hugged Amity and placed her hand on her head until she calmed down.

Luz: Amity you have saved my life many times. And I am sorry if talking about my problems has put some pressure on you. I am also sorry you have a girlfriend who has a lot of emotional baggage that you ended up helping with even from before I went to the demon realm. As well as the fact I am so weird that despite everything that happened I am still bothered less by traumatic near death experiences than how it affects the people around me. I do not even know if that is just how I am or if it is from me having low self esteem.

Amity: Honestly Luz if I could not help you with some of your issues I would feel pretty worthless. Also Luz do not say that, you are allowed to feel sad or in distress. Just like how you are allowed to process your trauma in your own way and I believe that is how you naturally are always thinking of others. I fully accept the fact you have issues from before you ever went through the portal and you deserve to be helped. Which makes me wonder why can’t I ever seem to do more for you?

Luz: Amity you have done a lot for me. Amity I am so fortunate to have many people in my life who care about me. I have three great friends I can talk to. A sister I can talk about school with. A mother who I can talk about being bullied and about nerdy habits. A mentor who helps me with magic. A little brother who is always up for something childish. A wonderful palisman who is willing to help me with projects and see anime with me so I won’t ever be lonely again. And I have you who has helped me so much in ways the other can’t.

Amity: How?

Luz: You know how I am, I always rather focus on other people’s problems or focus on a big mission but I don’t have any of those distractions anymore. You have been helping me so I am able to talk things out. You have even told me some things you could not even bring yourself to write in your diary just like how I opened up to you about my dad. I can not even bring myself to talk about him with my mom. You have helped me a lot even in high school. When I said that I was thinking of just doing my best on projects, homework, and tests without doing anything extra like I used to do since I rather put the extra effort in Hexside related work you encouraged me and said how any school that does not appreciate me is beneath me which made me feel a bit better. Amity even when you are not here you are helping me. Amity when my mom pretended to like the demon realm when we got back I was too sad to even be excited about it even though I wanted it so much for so long however I was able to feel happy just by seeing you happily play with that abomination goo. Amity nobody can ever help me like you can not even my family or friends.

Amity felt her eyes get watery again though this time she was happy.

Amity: Thank you for saying that.

Luz: I am still surprised you would do so much for somebody like me.

Amity: Luz getting to know you was the best moment of my life.

Amity then had a thought to explain to Luz how much she means to her.

Amity: Luz do you know how things would have been for me if you never went to the isles?

Luz: No.

Amity: I do. I would have spent my last day on the day of unity. Forced to be friends with bullies. I would have had siblings who exposed my diary entries ruining the reputation I spent years earning. I would have been stuck with a neglectful father and an emotionally abusive mother. The only real friend I ever had would have lost all her memories. I would have never fallen in love or have anybody love me. I would not live to see another birthday or even the following day. All the years of hard work, pain, and sadness to earn prestige and love would have been meaningless. However on the day of unity instead of being concerned with saving my life or thinking I have so much to live for I do not think I would save it or have anything worth going on for. I would probably just accept it at worst or best think I am so happy it will be over. That is how my life would have been without you in it. Everyday after the day of unity that I get to choose things for myself or even just be alive I owe to you. Luz you mean everything to me. Luz you make me happy just to be alive because you are the best part of my life.

Luz burst into tears seeing how much Amity loves her. She hugged Amity letting out all the tears she had. Amity patted her on the back until she was done.

Amity: I should have told you that months ago.

Luz: Amity whether you told me that now, in the past, or in the future it means everything to me that you feel that way about me. I am sorry I thought more than once you were better off without me. Even though I am stupid enough to think if I had a curse or disease that would threaten your future I would make the same choice if it meant you were safe.

Amity: Luz you just wanted nobody to threaten the future of those you care about not even yourself. I understand where you are coming from. I do not want anybody to ever endanger or hurt you again including myself. Sadly I do not think I have been living up to that idea. However for what is worth I will try better to be there to save you and I will make sure you will never be full of guilt like you were in the past ever again.

This was a promise Amity would be able to keep for all eternity.

Luz: I believe you.

After full understating what she said and thinking about how much Amity understands, loves, and sympathizes with her made Luz think of only one thing to say.

Luz: I love you.

Amity: I love you too.

Luz pulled Amity in for a kiss on the lips that lasted quite a while.

Luz: Even though I believe every word you said I will still have days when I have self esteem issues.

Amity: I understand just like how I will still have insecurities about not being able to do enough for you.

Luz then stood up and she scooped up Amity.

Luz: You have done so much for me lately let me support you.

Amity: Luz no matter what some people may say or even what you think of yourself you are a hero, the hero of the Boiling Isles, and my personal hero. I would even go so far as to call you my savior.

Luz: Thank you Amity. You know that the talks we have been having I feel they have been good for my soul, I would even say you are probably saving my soul.

Amity: You are such a poet.

Luz: Now want to see a romantic comedy, read a book, or just cuddle with me?

Amity: I would like to cuddle please.

Amity draped her arms around Luz’s neck and they kissed as Luz carried her back to the Noceda house.

While they may have been through many traumatic experiences the reason they do so much for each other is not out of negative feelings related to trauma but simply out of the love they have for each other.

Chapter Text

It is October after Luz has started her second year in college and she along with Amity are participating as some of the scarers in an alien themed Halloween maze Masha set up.

Masha is in front of a hedge maze where there are canopies around all sides so nobody can see above the hedges. From the maze a yellowish green fog was coming out of it. They are dressed in a dark green parka with the hood up as they greet two guests who are a couple.

Masha: Welcome are you brave enough to enter this maze from another world?

Man: I bet it is not that scary.

Woman: Let get this over with.

Masha: Before you go you each must pay the entry fee and sign these waivers.

Man: Seriously?

Woman: Why?

Masha: It is just the standard stuff you know you do not sue us no matter how scared you get that kind of stuff.

Woman: So do we get something when we leave?

Masha: A bag of candies and possibly a refund if you show no signs of being scared.

Man: This will be easy.

They signed the papers and went in. Masha recognized who these two were.

Masha: Boy it is going to be extra terrifying for those two, I wonder how much trauma will they experience? Eh.

Masha shrugged their shoulders and was counting the entry fees.

The couple went in and they saw what looked like lights on the hedges.

Woman: Are these Christmas lights?

Man: I knew this place would not be scary the special effects stink.

Suddenly a large light came out of the sky. It was painfully bright. They soon saw some figures coming out of it.

Man: Is that it?

Woman: I thought it would be more than just a spooky light.

They soon saw some large headed grey aliens with large pitch black eyes walking towards them.

Man: I thought it would be something bigger.

Woman: Those things are creepy.

The grey aliens started to float up and they pulled out ray guns and started firing.

Woman: Those seem to be just flashlights.

Man: I thought the lasers would be cooler.

One alien fired and this time it was different. First he fired near the woman’s ear then the man’s shoulder.

Woman: I felt the wind go by my ear!

Man: I felt that laser graze me.

The couple ran and the grey aliens smiled as they faded away until the last one made the light from above disappear.

In the next section of the maze they saw some what looked like large pieces of metal and what looked like a giant metallic insect limb or tentacle. There was also a giant lens that looks like it was meant for something huge like the light of a lighthouse.

Woman: Well the rust does seem creepy though in a run down kind of way not that I expected much from this place since I saw the front of the maze and how they were dressed. You think they would have dressed as something scarier than a person wearing a parka.

Man: I get what you mean unless there is a trap with blades around here I am not impressed.

Suddenly they heard some rustling from behind them.

Woman: You heard that too?

Man: I did.

They turned around and they saw a horrific sight. It looked like a giant brain that was four feet across. It had big black bulbous eyes and a beak like mouth. It had eight tentacles. These tentacles were tube like in structure and the frozen couple only noticed this when the tentacles were going near their foreheads and ears as they were opening wider. The man pushed the tentacles away and ran with his girlfriend as the alien entity went back into the wall of the maze.

Woman: It tried to eat my brain. That thing tried to eat my brain!

Man: It was all fake and we didn’t want those hoses to touch us right?

Woman: Yes that was just a puppet with hoses for arms.

Man: Of course it couldn’t have been real.

The two of them entered the next area which had a lot of trees and what were in some of those branches were skulls and spines.

Man: Now this feels like a normal Halloween maze.

Woman: Weirdly enough I am glad this seems more normal.

They soon heard some rustling from a tree.

Woman: I hope it is not another brain alien.

Man: I will protect you again.

They saw what looked like a man jump down from the tree. He looked like he was wearing armor. It also looked like he had dreadlocks coming from his head. He moved his wrist and some blades came out from the back of his hands. The couple looked at each other.

Woman: Somehow I am not feeling it.

Man: Those blades look too cool to be scary. Although I bet I can still take him easy.

When they looked back they saw the armored alien was gone.

Man: Where did he go?

Woman: I swear I can still hear him walking.

They soon saw the armored alien reappear.

Man: How did he do that?

Woman: I don’t know.

The armored alien flashed yellow and he disappeared.

Man: Quick get back to back.

Woman: Good idea.

They did but they saw nothing. After not seeing him they turned back to face each other.

Woman: Did he left?

Man: Do you have a rash on your arm?

The woman looked at her arm but it was not a rash but a trio of red lights. The couple looked towards where the lights were coming from. They saw the armored alien had a shoulder mounted blaster that was aiming at her. The man moved her out of the way and the armored alien disappeared.

Man: Where is he?

Woman: I can’t see him.

The armored alien reappeared between them. The armored alien pointed his wrist blades at the woman’s throat, the man was about to attack but he stopped when the alien shoulder blaster pointed at him even though the armored alien was not looking at him. The armored alien looked at both of them then he nodded his head no and disappeared once more as the couple ran from that’s section of the maze.

They soon entered a place with many plants and the ground was covered in sand. There were some particularly big plants with flowers that look like trumpets with vines coming from them.

Woman: This place looks nice.

Man: This place looks kind of weak.

Suddenly one of the plants turned towards them and that vine stretched and flicked at them almost hitting them multiple times. The plant then retreated.

Man: I am not losing sight of you.

Woman: Get back here, don’t get into a fight with a lame plant.

They went to the other side of the hedge wall but they did not see that plant. Suddenly they felt the ground shake.

Woman: Was that an earthquake?

Man: Where did that plant go?

From where they just were something came up from the ground. It looked like an enormous worm several dozen feet long. When it opened its mouth they saw several spiky thorn like teeth. This worm was looking for them. They did not make a noise as the worm looked for them as it made a buzzing noise. It heard them move some leaves and it faced them. The worm lunged at them and they had no other response other than to cower. However nothing happened. They opened their eyes and they saw nothing. They went to the other side and they saw no evidence of a giant worm being there. They thought they were loosing their minds. They then ran from there as the plant reappeared to where it was earlier.

The couple went into a section of the maze with a lot of dark webbing.

Woman: This looks really gross.

Man: I am pretty sure in high school we have seen worse.

Woman: So what do you think giant spider?

Man: If they wanted to do that they should have put some small ones around here.

They then saw what looked like an astronaut on the ground.

Man: If they wanted that to be scary they should have added blood.

Woman: Or make it dirty looking.

Suddenly the astronaut started to move. Or at least something in its torso was. As the couple were waiting for something to happen a white creature covered in a strange goo burst out of the astronaut’s torso. It screeched and it looked like it had a dome like head.

Man: That was kind of cool.

Woman: Impressive for an animatronic.

However they soon froze up when the creature exited the torso and ran away. As they were wondering what happen they heard a sound behind them.

Woman: Not again.

Man: What is it this time?

They saw some pod like eggs on the ground. One of them opened up with a metallic sound and inside there was more goo. From it a dark colored creature came out, it had legs like a spider but a snake like tail. This creature went for their heads but it missed and scurried away. The couple walked away but they have not seen the worse part of this maze. They noticed there was a lot of webbing.

Woman: There is still gunk everywhere.

Man: I am sure we are near the end.

They thought they saw somebody else in the maze. As they approach them they saw it was not a person. It had a black exoskeleton, a elongated dome like head, and a long tail ending in a blade. They walked away slowly as this creature seemed to hiss at them though that sound was coming from somewhere else. This creature looked to have no eyes but it was glaring daggers at them.

Man: That was freaky.

Woman: That was definitely one of the freakiest things we have ever seen.

They soon noticed they spoke too soon as another one of those strange creatures arrived crawling alongside the walls. The couple then ran around it. The creature quickly ran somewhere else.

Man: That was something.

Woman: Something terrifying.

These two had no idea what true horror was. They heard a loud crash behind them. They turned around and saw the worst thing in this maze. It was fifteen feet tall. It had a long blade at the end of its skinny tail. Its dome like head had a spiky crest like that of a triceratops. This creature had four arms with two smaller arms that were on its torso. They saw it bare its fang filled mouth. When it opened its mouth a second mouth came out and scared them. The couple ran as this monstrosity was chasing after them.

Man: It is enormous.

Woman: How can something like that be here?

Suddenly the creature was spitting goo from its mouth. The woman got her foot stuck and the man helped her out. The man also noticed how some of the goo smelled acidic as it passed by him. They both noticed how the ground was sounding like it was burning from that goo even though it was not. They were soon at a dead end and the giant creature was about to grab them as it opened its mouth releasing acidic smelling goo. These two have seen many horrors here but this one put the fear of death into them. They did not notice the smaller arms and tail were tapping the other arms and shoulders of the giant creature. The giant creature bared its teeth and let them go. However not before one last claw swipe. The couple were nearing the exit. Masha is waiting for them there.

Masha: So how was your trip?

Woman: We demand a refund!

Masha: Sorry you look scared to me, you are trembling.

Man: You call this a Halloween event with how dangerous that was?

Masha: You signed the waivers but maybe there is something else for you.

From Masha’s sleeves came out these long tentacles. When they tilted their head back their torso opened to reveal a mouth full of sharp teeth. As their head was in the hedge wall an insect like creature with eyes stalks and Masha’s hair crawled out. The couple simply ran as while they giant acidic smelling creature was the most terrifying thing they have ever seen what happened with Masha was one scare too many. Masha started chuckling a bit since that surprise on their faces were priceless. Her torso mouth was made with abomination engineering and the tentacles are from a potion. The creature with eyestalks is something else.

Masha: That was a good one Fangz now we should check on the others.

Who Masha was referring to was their palisman. It was wearing fake eyes on two legs and a wig like Masha’s hair. It looked like a brown spider with the traits of tarantulas and black widows of both genders so it was a fellow enby. Fangz has a human like mouth filled with fangs that can be covered up by their scythe like pedipalps and spider fangs. They had nine red eyes with the giant one in the middle having a vertical rectangular pupil. On their head they have a red skull marking. On top of their abdomen they had what looked like an orange crystal ball, on the underside there was a red hourglass marking with bones framing the top and bottom. Fangz resumed their staff form which was dark reddish brown in color and the interlock was in Fangz’s stomach. Masha walked towards the meeting place in the maze.

Masha: Hey guys time for a break.

Soon the Hexsquad arrived. First was the grey alien after a puff of blue smoke appeared it was revealed that a blue chameleon palisman was the ray gun that could be felt. Well the beam was Emmiline’s tongue.

Gus: I hope I put on a good performance.

Next was the armored alien. He took off his mask showing his scar covered face and the shoulder blaster was actually a costume for a blue jay palisman.

Hunter: This role felt like it was made for me right Waffle?

Waffle tweeted yes.

Hunter: I can’t wait to tell Flap about this year’s Halloween related events.

Years ago when the rest of the Hexsquad were worried about Hunter being unable to ever enjoy Halloween again Luz told him about a custom of another Spanish speaking culture where they honor the dead a few days after Halloween even though some people think it is the same thing as Halloween. Hunter decided to tell Flapjack what he does every October a few days after Halloween. Hunter knows Flapjack would have wanted him to enjoy Halloween and frankly he wants that too. So now Halloween is his favorite holiday since he gets to tell Flapjack all about the fun he had with his friends.

Next the ground shook as the worm appeared. It unravels itself and inside it was the plant that attacked earlier the one who is wearing it is a very strong witch. From the flower a strange bee appeared who was responsible for the worm noises earlier.

Willow: Well I sure showed them.

Clover nodded in agreement. The alien with tentacles arrived. Masha ran towards it and kissed her.

Masha: Thanks for doing this my beautiful basilisk.

She shapeshifted back to her normal form.

Vee: I am just happy to see you happy Masha.

This earned the basilisk another kiss from her partner. The creature with four arms arrived. It soon separated into the other two creatures that were each eight feet tall due to stilts. One had a scorpion like barb on its tail, three fingered hands, digitigrade legs, and a smooth head dome. The other had a blade on the end of its tail, five fingered hands, humanoid legs, and its head dome had ridges. The odd serpentine creature shapeshifted back and Stringbean snuggled with her owner who was the creature with the smoother dome. The creature that came from the astronaut was a white cat and Ghost snuggled up against her owner.

Amity: Thanks for all the help Luz I mean it.

Luz: I just took on my shadow form with Oracle magic to cover you up when we combined, you did the hard work being in your abomination form for the big one.

In their merge form Amity was controlling the larger arms, legs, and head while Luz controlled the tail, smaller arms, and the second mouth. The couple then shared a kiss.

Luz: Still Amity you were intense.

Hunter: I did hear a lot of screaming from there.

Willow: And running.

Gus: And something chasing them for a while.

Vee: We heard a lot of screams tonight from those two.

Masha: Yeah that was a bit different when they were in your turf.

Amity: I put in extra effort because those two were jerks to Luz in high school.

They all released an oh at the same time as they now realized why Amity got so intense since they know Amity gets extremely protective when it comes to Luz.

Gus: Yeah they were jerks saying how they thought my performance would be bad without even seeing anything first.

Willow: They called my area weak.

Hunter: What! I will go after them.

Willow: Don’t worry I showed them how weak they really were.

Hunter: That is my strong flyer derby captain.

Willow gave Hunter a kiss as a sign of appreciation for his compliment.

Masha: They tried to get a refund even though they were scared and threaten to sue even after they signed the waivers.

Vee: Even I couldn’t hold myself back since they made fun of Masha’s costume.

Masha: That is so sweet of you.

Masha gave Vee a hug.

Amity: Well you might all be happy to note I may have accidentally gotten payback on them.

Luz: It was an accident but I can definitely say you did.

Willow: What did you do?

Hunter: Besides scaring them?

Masha: Well scared half to death is more like it.

Vee: It was that intense?

Luz: Amity went all out.

Gus: Tell us.

Amity: Well while I was throwing sticky abomination goo at them some parts of their skirt and pants accidentally got hit so I think that is some form of embarrassing payback.

The rest of the Hexsquad started to chuckled a bit when they heard that. Those two jerks were arrested for exposing their underclothes in public due to their clothes that were covered in sticky abomination goo getting caught on some bushes and ripping. Not that Amity cared in the slightest since they made Luz’s life difficult in school. And it was an actual accident after all.

Vee: Hey I wonder something about your costumes.

Luz: If you are wondering about the tails we use our Oracle and abomination magic to move them.

Vee: Not that I was wondering what made you pick that combined form since it looks to be hard to coordinate.

Luz: No it isn’t, it is like us and dancing this comes naturally to us. Also we decided who controls what.

Amity: Well we are both Grom queens so I say it is a good match picking this combined form.

Hunter: Willow is a Grom queen too.

Willow: Thanks Hunter but I am more comfortable with my costume besides I say that combined form suits them perfectly.

Gus: I thought there was another reason for that choice.

Masha: Like what?

Gus had a bit of a mischievous smile on his face.

Gus: Maybe it was symbolic of things related to kissing or hugging between them due to the extra arms and mouth placement.

Luz looked at Amity whose face was bright red due to the implications of this made it seem like Amity wanted Luz’s hands on her torso or her tongue in her mouth. Hunter started to snicker as soon as Gus had a bit of a laugh. Vee covered her mouth in surprise as Masha was stunned.

Willow: Hunter! And you too Gus.

Hunter: I know, I am sorry about this.

Amity: I will never be ashamed to be affectionate with Luz or wanting affection from her however if you make fun of that I will cover the both of you in abomination goo until you both look like aliens after they have been examined by the government.

Vee: I am wondering if I am going to clean up a big mess soon.

Luz: I know you are an expert when dealing with mischievous illusionists but please calm down Amity.

Gus: Sorry my bad.

Amity: I accept your apology.

Masha: How about I get us some snacks, besides I should get more fog brews for the fog machines.

Masha tapped Fangz’s staff on the ground and a cauldron walking on spider legs walked towards them. This was something Masha brought to life to carry things for them and to bring snacks for Vee. She refers to it as Caul. The seven of them and their palismans enjoyed their snack break.

Masha: So we should get back to work. Also thanks Amity for making this torso mouth for my costume.

Amity: No problem.

Vee: Thanks again Luz for getting the potion ingredients Masha needed for those tentacles on her arms.

Luz: Sure thing sis.

They soon parted ways and went back to their respective sections.

Luz: You are in a good mood Amity.

Amity: Of course I am especially after scaring those jerks, thanks for letting me.

Luz: No problem.

Even though Luz has moved on from those jerks in high school she understands Amity still holds a grudge against them. While Amity refrains from anything violent against those jerks for Luz’s sake even though they both know she can beat them up easily or worse if they attempt to harm Luz, Luz also has to acknowledge that Amity needs an outlet for these negative feelings. Amity respects Luz’s choice about not having a desire for revenge even though she thinks she should tell them off at least, and Luz has to acknowledge Amity’s anger towards them whether they were a fellow student or school staff. So this maze where waivers are signed and they are not forced to go in is a perfect outlet for Amity’s anger against them. So both Luz and Amity get an outcome they are happy with and honestly this makes Luz feel better as well as her former bullies get scared by an alien filled maze.

Luz: Hey Amity I have a silly question to ask.

Amity: Ask away.

Luz: Those implications about me kissing you in that way, you do not have a problem with that right?

Amity: No, the first time you kissed me like that was a wonderful birthday gift.

Luz: That was not the gift.

Amity: Perhaps not but I did ask my girlfriend to practice with me a lot immediately after as I wanted to get good at it.

Luz: I am glad you appreciated it. Although I just wanted to give you the first of a new kind of kiss since you were the first to initiate kisses on the cheek and lips.

Amity: You were the first of us to kiss hand, ear, neck, bicep, and collarbone.

Luz: You hold some records yourself Blight as you were the first of the two of us to kiss eyebrow, forehead, shoulder, and stomach first.

Amity: What can I say you are very kissable.

Luz: Gracias hermosa(thank you beautiful).

Amity: I love it when you speak Spanish.

Luz had a flirty idea as she had a kitten smile on her face.

Luz: You like my Spanish tongue but I also know you like my French tongue.

Amity’s face became a bright red but she had a counter ready.

Amity: Mi novia es muy bonita(my girlfriend is very pretty) And I also know while my girlfriend likes my Spanish tongue I know she prefers my witch’s tongue.

Amity stuck her tongue out and got Luz flustered.

Luz: You got that right.

They shared a passionate kiss then and there.

Amity: So when we get home we will see a marathon of the rest of the movies featuring these creatures.

Luz: Yes we will.

Amity: You are really excited.

Luz: Well I am a xenophile, I am even dating a beautiful alien from another world.

Amity blushed as she knows this is true just how it is true that this maze is technically filled with aliens. Hunter wasn’t sure if he counted but Gus said he could get bonus points for being a clone. This cheered Hunter up.

Amity: You know when we see those movies I am going to get scared and bury my face in your chest right?

Luz: Just can think of my chest as a pyramid.

Amity: What?

Luz: You said buried and people get buried in pyramids. Dang it Luz that was dumb wordplay.

This did get a giggle out of Amity.

Luz: You know you do not have to make excuses to do that right?

Amity: You know I will get scared from those kinds of movies, and you like to snuggle with me like that too.

Luz: I can’t help it, you are so comfy.

Amity: So are you.

Luz: I am glad my joke did not alienate you.

Amity giggled.

Amity: Good one.

Luz: I am glad I made you laugh since laughter is good for alien-ing health.

Amity chuckled a bit.

Amity: You are on a roll.

Luz: Good because stopping myself from making cheesy jokes is an alien concept to me.

Amity burst out in laughter.

As it seemed it will take a while for more people to arrive since they have not seen Willow’s plant worm they decided to continue chatting as they walked around a bit.

Amity: I am really glad these creatures don’t exist.

Luz: Yeah the acidic blood is scary although you can probably do that for real in your abomination form.

Amity: I was referring to laying larva in others. Still even if these were real I would protect you from them.

Luz: Thanks Amity especially since the only alien I ever want to impregnate me is you.

Amity’s face practically glowed red from underneath the elongated bicycle helmet like head of her costume.

Luz: What is the matter Amity?

Luz’s cheeks were now practically glowing red that made it look like her costume has two red eyes as she realized what she just said.

Luz: Wait I know witch anatomy and human anatomy is similar in that regard and that doesn’t happen unless the right magic method is involved, it is also too early for us to talk about which method to use, we have not even discussed if we want kids. However if an alien or anything would ever impregnate me I want it to be you.

Luz waited for Amity to unfreeze which took awhile.

Amity: I agree with everything you said, and you are the only alien or anything who could ever do that to me too.

Amity was starting to blush once more.

Luz: I am really glad you knew what I meant.

Amity: Well what you said was a sweet sentiment.

Luz: That reminds me even though we will eat sweets later the only snack I want is right here.

Amity: Funny I am talking to the sweetest snack at this very moment.

They both burst out in laughter due to their flirting.

Amity: You have been extra flirty tonight Luz.

Luz: And you love it.

Amity: Damn straight.

They both put one hand on each other’s hips and pulled each other closer as they kissed. They used their magic to make their tails form a heart shape.

While they are literally aliens in regards to each other the love they feel for each other is not alien to them at all.

Chapter Text

During Luz’s second semester of her first year in college Luz was in her dorm finishing the teleportation compasses she has been working on as Amity will soon be finishing her project. Luz has her crystal ball charm bracelet with her.

Luz: And done. What do you think Stringbean?

Stringbean: Hiss(They look nice Luz).

Luz: I know this is for function but I still think they should look good.

Stringbean: (They are wonderful, you put in a lot of love and effort into these Amity will love them).

Luz: You are right, I should call her.

Stringbean transformed into a crow phone and Luz called Amity.

Amity: Hello who is this?

Luz: It is your Luz sweet potato.

Amity: Luz, did you finish yours
Luz: I did, I will fly down to where you are and show them off.

Amity: Great I am looking forward to seeing you here.

Luz: What will I get when I arrive as a thanks for my hard work?

Amity can tell Luz is being mischievous.

Amity: I can give you a kiss.

Luz: Hmmm. I am not sure throw in another four.

Amity: You drive a hard bargain so I will throw in another five in addition to the four extra kisses.

Luz: Deal and you will get ten kisses too.

Luz and Amity both giggled and they soon hanged up.

Luz: We are on our way Stringbean.

Stringbean turned into her staff form and Luz left the room but suddenly she saw Gus rushing towards her.

Luz: If there is a fire in the alchemy, Abomination engineering, glyph, or curse classes it wasn’t me and Eda is on a date with Raine so it wasn’t her either.

Gus: No, it is not that. I was planning to show a meal to some of the people in the human realm exchange course but the human food went bad.

Luz: Tell me what happened.

Gus: This happened.

He pulled out two pieces of a cut avocado that went brown.

Gus: Was this cursed or can they not survive in this realm?

Luz: Gus when did you cut these?

Gus: Yesterday.

Luz: Gus avocados go bad quickly.

Gus: How? That never happened when we were on earth!

Luz: Gus there were seven people and four palismans in that house there wasn’t any time or leftovers for avocados or guacamole to go bad.

Gus: So Luz could you get me more?

Luz: When do you need them?

Gus: Monday.

Luz: You will have them tomorrow on Sunday since I am planning to go shopping.

Luz used her crystal ball charm bracelet to bring our her shopping list made of energy she had and added get avocados for Gus.

Luz: Done.

Gus: Luz you are a lifesaver, see you.

Luz: See yeah Gus.

Luz was now on Stringbean and was flying towards Blight manor.

Amity is in her room at her desk looking at her finished inventions.

Amity: It is weird isn’t it Ghost making what are basically abomination based headphones to hear each other heartbeats?

Ghost: Meow (What is wrong with two girlfriends wanting to hear each other’s heartbeats and you do have each other’s permission so who cares)?

Amity: You are right, plus I think I am nervous if Luz would like them, if they look wrong, or if they work well.

Ghost: Meow(If they are weird which they are not Luz can accept them and you put in so much work to customize them so Luz will like them and you tested them many times so you know they will work).

Amity: I just hope we have not been wasting our time on these. I mean teleporting compasses, why are they needed if we can both teleport using more than one method. I hope Luz didn’t waste her time on these ideas.

Ghost: Meow(You will feel better when you see her, and these are still nice gifts to give as they look like jewelry).

Amity: Yeah I am just being silly. My fire teleportation is only for short distances and the other method using abomination goo will not work if I do not have any. Besides Luz needs either Stringbean or a teleportation glyph to teleport so it is a good idea to have a back up.

Ghost:Meow(Exactly plus you rather save your magic to make Luz happy, protect her, or save her right)?

Amity: True, I hope she gets here soon.

Luz knocked.

Amity: Come in.

Luz walked in to take a peek at the project Amity finished but Amity covered it with her hands.

Amity: Not yet Luz. Luz?

Amity has found Luz was distracted and was accidentally staring down her shirt.

Amity: Luz were you looking at something else?

Luz: I was and I have no excuses, I am sorry.

Amity was blushing red but she knows Luz can get distracted. Honestly Amity prefers it when it is not during combat or during something dangerous so she is fine with this happening at a peaceful time. Fortunately Amity doesn’t get this problem when talking to Luz as Luz can be an attentive listener. Also Amity would only admit this to Luz but she likes it when she can distract Luz this way.

Amity: Luz you do not have to apologize, let’s call it even.

Luz was about to ask why but she saw Amity has turned her ponytail in an abomination tentacle with an eye at the end and now Amity was looking down Luz’s shirt. Luz was flustered but she smiled. She likes making Amity happy and if she likes the view then that is all there is to it. It is not like they do this in public and they wouldn’t do anything to each other that they themselves wouldn’t want so at moments like this they are both thankful.

Amity: Before I show you the project I have been working on how about those kisses?

Luz: Sounds good to me.

They then kissed more than half a dozen times, they kept their promises.

Amity: I can’t believe we both finished our projects to keep each other safe.

Luz: Me either after all these months since that day we thought about them.

Amity: So speaking about that day how has the immortality research been going?

Luz: Well the Collector found this reptilian species in space that have a method of immortality but that is a no go since we do not have the right number of livers and stomachs, King has not found some kind of eternal youth glyph yet, and I found mythological tales of a scabbard but there is only one you have to wear it and it is not immortality just slowed aging. The curing and preventing wounds parts are interesting but since there is only one there is no point to seeing if it exists, and you?

Amity: Well a new book was added to the forbidden stacks and it was easy to get to since the change in management after the isles were saved and the fact Blight Industries paid for a lot of repairs so I have access to it. However the book mentioned some alternative wild magic cures to some illnesses that are not as fast as modern cures for those illnesses but they do work. Nevertheless this does not help us.

Luz: Well at least we have our projects so are you ready to show me yours?

Amity: I will go first and here they are.

In her hands Amity has what looks like two purple and gold Torc necklaces with light purple disc shaped pendants. One has a disc pendent with a golden star and the other has a pink crescent moon. It’s as easy for them to tell whose was whose.

Luz: Wow theses look great.

Ghost had a smile that was like she was saying told you to Amity.

Amity: Thanks I decided for Torc for their designs.

Luz: They look cool but why torcs?

Amity: Well I thought of alternatives and they needed to be close to our necks to functions and not get tangled with your moon necklace but there were some issues. These were meant to save each other if needed and I would not like them if they were in the form of chokers.

Luz: Oof that is some irony there, I get what you mean.

Amity: I thought about collars but with the disc pendants I saw that there were some issues of it looking like a dog collar.

Luz: I get what you mean but I wouldn’t be opposed to it that much plus I could match with King. But then again maybe I would be fine with it as I fell for you when you said “My Luz” so I may have been fine with a piece of jewelry that shows I am your Luz. Though I guess this is too weird.

Amity was blushing.

Amity: Not as much as you think after we first started dating I kept calling myself Luz’s girlfriend which is something I am still ok with being referee as for obvious reasons so that whole belonging to somebody you love thing I can actually understand.

Luz: My mind went to a weird place but I am not sure I should tell you.

Amity: Luz you can tell me anything.

Luz: Alright but you asked for it. Even if we both liked the collar idea even if they look like dog collars no leashes.

Amity started coughing and Luz patted her on her back as her face went completely red.

Amity: I am glad we agree on that since you know it could restrict us or be caught on something and prove a liability plus there are much better ways to holding on to each other like holding hands.

Luz: And linking arms.

Amity: Exactly, this was a weird conversation but it is good we talked.

Luz: So are you going to tell me how they work?

Amity: Yes at the end of the torcs are earbuds that we can stretch so we can listen to each other heartbeats, now look at what happens when I wear it.

When Amity did the other Torc’s disc pendant started to rotate a bit showing a dark purple heart shape between the bottom two points of the star.

Amity: Mine does the same thing except it is between the two points of the crescent moon. They do this to show the other one is being worn.

Luz: That is really smart.

Amity: Thanks I was thinking of making it glow and I could but it is a waste of energy and could be distracting.

Luz: Let my try mine on.

Luz did and she put the earphone parts into her ears and Amity did the same. They both could hear each other’s hearts as if they had their ears against each other’s chests.

Luz: These are amazing.

Amity: Thanks the signal is strong since I used some Galdorstone fragments from our first anniversary to boost the power. Also there is a hidden surprise. Now just think of something you want to say.

Luz was thinking Amity looks cute with that necklace.

Amity: I am glad it looks good on me.

Luz: How do you know what I was thinking, besides the looking cute part because that is easy to figure out.

Amity: These have Oracle magic compatible jewels in them so we can telepathically talk to each other.

Luz was stunned and she took the earphones out of her ears as did Amity.

Luz: Amity you would wear one of these again?

Luz was surprised as she knows how much Amity hated that necklace growing up.

Amity: Yes I would. I am willing to wear this again if it means I can keep you safe.

Luz: You are willing to do that for me?

Amity: Yes I am, Luz I am willing to put on what at one point was the source of a lifetime of emotional abuse for me in order to keep you safe. Just like how my fear of not being able to be with you eclipsed any other fears I had during our first Grom because I love you.

Luz hugged Amity.

Amity: Besides if I can have your sweet voice in my head making sure you are safe and just talking to you I know I will be happy.

Luz kissed Amity, a kiss she returned.

Luz: Should I test it in real time?

Amity: Go for it.

Amity knows Luz is going to increase her heart rate. Amity knows Luz will not scare or hurt her so she she is fine with whatever Luz was going to do. Luz put the earphones back on and she started kissing Amity’s ear. Amity quickly became flustered. Luz could heart Amity’s heart rate increase.

Luz: These work fast.

Amity was taking deep breaths.

Amity: I am going to test out yours.

Luz: Go for it.

Luz thought Amity was going to kiss her ears as they both like doing that and being on the receiving end was not bad either. Amity put the earphones in. Amity then started to kiss the right side of Luz’s neck something that Luz has done to Amity before more than once. Amity can hear Luz’s increased heart rate.

Amity: Yes they work without any issues.

Luz: These heartphones are great.

Amity: That is a good name for them. So now I should see the fruits of your hard work.

Luz: Here they are.

Luz showed Amity two compasses both a dull grey color. One had a dark purple snake on the back and the other had a light purple cat. It was clear whose belonged to who.

Luz: Here are the teleportation compasses.

Amity: They look awesome I like the details on the back.

Luz: Thank you now do you have any questions?

Amity: Yes how did you manage to get a teleportation glyph onto these?

Luz: I am glad you asked. I carved it into a large metal disk and I have told you before the right kind of carving makes glyphs reusable so it is once made never need to replace kind of detail. Then after I made the disks I use magic to permanently shrink them into compass size.

Amity: You are such a clever girlfriend.

Luz: I feel I should say that to you.

Amity: Thank you but you should give yourself more credit. Speaking of which show me more of these masterpieces of yours.

Luz blushed.

Luz: Well I used a bunch of what I learned to make them and some other things I learned at university besides glyphs. I placed a curse on them so they will not work for anybody but us although we can bring other people with us if we want to. This is so they don’t accidentally teleport somewhere and to prevent thieves from escaping if they grab one of these.

Amity: My look who is being pragmatic.

Luz: What can I say when it comes to you I bring my A game baby.

Amity was blushing.

Luz: I used Theumaturgy to bless the compass so it would be really durable just in case something happens.

Amity: So I am correct in assuming the blood used for this is in a capsule in the compass?

Luz: You get an A+ like always Amity.

Amity smiled at this, even if she stopped being motivated by grades long ago hearing that still makes her happy especially when Luz says it.

Luz: Also in there are some preserved titan blood from King when he got the blood test years ago so the glyphs can work anywhere and a piece of Galdorstone fragment is also in here.

Amity: I am really impressed Luz.

Luz: Let me show you the range of this.

Amity: First I should hear your heart rate with my heartphones so we can know how wide is the range for them.

Luz: Good idea I will be back in a few seconds.

Luz used the compass and disappeared in a flash of light. Amity could still hear Luz’s heartbeat. Then Luz came back.

Amity: So Luz how far did you go?

Luz: The other other side of the world on a remote location on titan trapper island.

Amity: So both of our devices are global in range, that is good to know.

Luz: Open the back so you can see something special.

Amity did and in her compass she found a photo of Luz.

Luz: I made copies of some photos and put them in the secret compartments of our compasses.

Amity: This is so sweet.

Luz: But they have a practicals use too, now think of going towards me.

Amity did and the compass pointed towards Luz.

Luz: In my alchemy course I learned about compasses that can point to specific targets and I made one, they need a part or reference for the target so I used photos of us.

Amity: And here I was thinking you put photos in these so you can raise my heart rate.

Luz: I do not need help in order to do that.

Amity chuckled.

Amity: So true.

Luz: I can say the same to you.

They both left the compasses and heartphones on Amity’s desk.

Luz: I feel like giving you a great big hug.

Amity stood up.

Amity: I am ready.

Amity would soon be surprised as Luz used Oracle magic to give herself snakes for arms made of shadow and Luz tightly hugged Amity.

Luz: Not too tight right?

Amity: This is comfy but I want to give you a big hug.

Amity turned her arms into abomination goo and multiplied them and gave Luz a big hug of her own.

Luz: This is a big hug. I guess you feel kind of handsy.

Amity: I just want to give you a pat on the back.

Luz was blushing.

Luz: That is a bit low for a pat on the back.

Amity: You are ok with it right?

Luz: I want to do the same to you.

Amity: Go for it, so are you going to turn your arms back to normal or turn them into shadow arms?

Luz: I have a compromise.

From the mouth of her shadow snake arms Luz had hands come out instead of snake tongues made of shadows Amity was surprised but she did not stop Luz from doing what she wanted to do.

Amity: So want to lay down and cuddle?

Luz: My dorm?

Amity: Good idea.

Amity used Abomination magic so she and Luz would be on her bed and their palismans would be on Luz’s desks. Both of their arms are back to normal. Amity is listening to Luz’s heart.

Amity: We spent months on those and we are literally doing what they do in a few seconds.

Luz: Well it is good to have back up. They are a good test for our skills. And they are romantic.

Amity: You are right my optimistic light.

Luz smiled and then she got distracted again.

Amity heard Luz’s heart rate increase. Amity looked up and saw where Luz was gazing at.

Amity: Dowm my shirt again?

Luz: Sorry it might be because of the necklaces or I have been thing about hearing your heart a lot today.

Amity: You don’t have to apologize, look where my face is and you really think I wouldn’t be enjoying the view?

Luz: As much as I like the view too bad I can not hear your heart from this angle as I am sure we are too comfy to get the heartphones back.

Amity: I am on it.

Amity reached down her shirt and pulled out the hearthphones necklaces.

Luz: How and that was like something out of a anime.

Amity: It was a trick I been developing to make something come out of my sleeve using abomination magic but since you kept staring I had a new idea and judging from your heartbeat you loved it.

Luz: Uh huh.

They both put on the heartphones torcs on but only Luz was wearing the earphone portions. For the first time ever they can lay down and hear each other’s heartbeats at the same time. They soon fell asleep to the soothing sounds each other’s hearts.

For Luz and Amity any projects they do for each other is full of love and dedication.

Chapter Text

Luz is 15 and she is finishing setting up a couple of things for the great Thanksgiving dinner that is about to happen.

Luz speaking with giddiness in her voice: I am so pumped for today!

Luz started jumping up and down with joy.

Camila: I know you are excited mija(my daughter) but we still got some work to do.

Vee in her natural form: Luz please do not use too much energy now you will be tired later.

Luz: I know, it is just going to be a good dinner.

Luz couldn’t help smiling much more than normal today.

Luz: Stringbean can you get more napkins.

Stringbean hissed yes.

Camila: Ok the two turkeys are done, the two hams just need to cool, the cherry pies are in the fridge, we made plenty of empanadas with chicken and beef, there is a big bowl of mash potatoes, we bought plenty of sodas, and made mofongo without garlic since Eda doesn’t like garlic. Is there anything else?

Vee: The paper plates mom.

Camilla: Right, thank you Vee.

Luz: I got the plastic utensils.

Camilla: Alright we will start preparing the plates ahead of time so they will not wait long now to your stations my fellow crew members.

Luz and Vee: Yes mama!

Luz and Vee saluted Camila as Stringbean was saluting with her tail. After a laugh between the four of them they were soon done with preparing all 15 plates. They then waited and fortunately they did not have to wait long as the doorbell rang. Luz was the first one to reach the door.

Vee: Geez Luz is fast.

Camila: When she was a toddler we could barley keep up with her.

Luz opened the door.

Luz: I welcome you to casa Noceda and I hope you will enjoy tonight’s meal.

Luz was suddenly tackled by a jumping titan who wanted a hug.

King with excitement in his voice: Luz!

Luz: Hey little bro.

Luz soon saw a someone else with King also hugging her. Echo the echo mouse is with King, ever since Luz officially moved out of the Owl House King has been spending time with the Echo mouse and they get along great. King calls the Echo mouse his secretary and the Echo mouse likes to play along. Maybe it is because they both have skulls for a head they are great together.

Eda: Good to see you kid.

Luz saw Eda with Owlbert on her shoulder. Raine was next to Eda with their fox palisman Fiddle on their shoulder.

Eda: Hey Cam we brought apple blood!

Eda was as bombastic as ever.

Camilla: Of course you did.

Raine: You have a lovely home Camila and we thank you for inviting us for this special dinner. Also Eda left the hook behind.

Eda: It is too bad we could not bring it it works great to remove corks from bottles, but I still have my spork hook so I am ready to chow down.

Owlbert and Fiddle along with Echo went towards Stringbean and they greeted each other.

King: It is too bad grandma and grandpa went on holiday during this.

Luz: I am sure we will have a Thanksgiving dinner with them at some other point.

They went into the Noceda house.

Soon Lilith and Hooty arrived. Mike Socks Lillith’s palisman is on her shoulder.

Lilith: Hello Camila thank you for inviting us to this holiday event at your lovely home.

Hooty: It is a great house and I know since I am an expert, Hoot!

Camilla: Thank you for the compliment.

Lilith: As a gift we have this jar of cookies I hope you will like them.

Hooty: I made them myself.

Camila: Wait you made them, how?

Hooty: I would be happy to trade recipes with you.

Lilith: As much as I am glad your baking skills are being recognized we should go in so we do not block the doorway.

Hooty: Hoot! You are right Lulu we can not let so much good food go cold.

Camila: I will just put these away until dessert.

Vee: I will take care of that.

Vee took the cookie jar away.

Luz: Hello cool aunt Lilith.

Lilith: Hello cool niece Luz.

They were doing the finger guns thing. Camila, Vee, and King snickered while Eda was groaning about this. Lilith and Hooty entered the house as Mike Socks joined the other palismans. Just a bit after the door closed they heard the doorbell. Luz opened the door and Amity hugged her.

Luz with a big smile on her face: Amity!

Luz returned the hug.

Amity with an equally big smile on her face: Luz!

They heard the doorbell ring and it seems Alador was still pressing it. Emira and Edric are with him. Ed has Batric on his shoulder and Alador has his Palisman Ratador on his shoulder. Ghost walked through the door.

Camilla: Yes we heard you.

Alador: Sorry about that I got distracted and thank you for inviting us to this event.

Edric: Hey Luz.

Emira: How is it going?

Luz: Things are looking great.

Alador: We also have this gift for you.

He brought out this abomination themed box and opened it showing many well prepared eggs.

Amity: I cooked several dozen deviled gryphon eggs for today, well maybe they are demoned gryphon eggs? Regardless I hope you will like them.

Camila: Gracias(thank you) Amity these will go well with the mashed potatoes.

Alador: Also we will be leaving with the box since Amity wants it to prepare future egg based dishes for Luz.

Camila: That is fine and thanks again Amity.

Amity was all red in the face with embarrassment.

Amity with annoyance in her whispering voice: Dad!

Emira: You should have seen her Luz she was working so hard to make them.

Edric: It was like she wanted to be your personal chef.

Amity was still red in the face though this time it was more due to anger.

Amity trying not to be too loud: Ed And Em!

Luz hugged Amity again.

Luz whispering: I would hire you Amity though I can only pay you in hugs and kisses.

Amity now had a smile on her face.

Amity whispering: I accept the job offer.

Luz and Amity giggled as the Blights entered the Noceda house and their pets joined up with the rest. After that Amity took off the Hex me papers Ed and Em put on Luz and Vee’s backs. Amity crumpled them up and put them in her pocket.

Camilla: Everybody thank you for coming now the seat planning is the adults will be around the kitchen table while the kids will be around the kitchen island, and the palismans and pets will be at their own section of the counter in the kitchen. After we set the plates and before we eat we will all say what we are thankful for as that is traditional Thanksgiving protocol.

Camila became embarrassed as her inner geek came out a bit not that anybody else minded and most of them didn’t noticed with the exception of Luz, Vee, and Stringbean who were supportive.

Lilith: Well I now understand why it is called Thanksgiving.

Eda: Where is the giving part?

Alador: I am confused about that as well.

Luz: We give thanks that is why it is called Thanksgiving.

Eda: That kind of stinks.

Raine: Eda!

Eda: Alright sorry but the name is misleading, who else agrees with me?

Em, Ed, and King agreed.

Eda: I knew my bad girl coven would have my back.

Lilith: There are no more covens.

Eda: Your jealous that my coven is cooler than your old one.

Lilith: I will admit it is cooler but I am not jealous.

Alador: Shouldn’t we start before the food gets cold or tries to escape?

Camila: Don’t worry the food is dead.

Alador: Just because a meal is dead doesn’t mean there is no chance of it running away later.

Raine: Oh I hate making speeches.

Luz: Relax Raine all you need to say is a sentence.

Eda: Yes Rainestorm this will be easier than leading a rebellion.

Camila: Now we will get the food.

Vee: Everybody to your seats please.

Luz: And please no fighting over who sits with who.

Amity: I will help.

King: Me too.

After the deviled gryphon eggs were added to the plates the grown ups and Hooty sat in the following order Camila, Eda, Raine, Lilith, Hooty on the floor, Alador, and back to Camila who is serving the plates for the adults along with Vee. Luz and Amity are getting the plates for themselves along with plates for Edric, Emira, Vee, and King, and King is getting the three plates for the pets for a total of 15 plates.

Luz: I am glad I am working with all of my siblings.

Emira: Things may change in the future.

Edric: Hey Luz you may have to include us too.

Luz and Amity started blushing a lot. Amity was annoyed but she did want that future with Luz one day when they get married.

Amity: Ed and Em!

Luz: You did not have to help Amity you already brought food.

Amity: I insist batata(sweet potato).

Luz: You are still the sweetest potato.

Amity was blushing so much she looked more like a tomato.

Vee: As natural and sweet as it is when you two are flirting can you please do not get distracted.

Amity and Luz: Sorry.

Vee: Are they always like that at the Owl House too?

King: Yes but like the fandom for the Azura books you grow to like it.

Vee: Trust me Amity has lived around here and visited often enough that I am used to it.

King: So shall we finished with serving the last plates?

Vee: Sure hermanito(little brother) or is that too forward?

King: Well this is a family holiday and you are my sister Luz’s sister, hermana(sister).

King and Vee then hugged each other. Vee and King have gotten close through Luz and due to the fact that they are both members of endangered and previously believed to be extinct species. It was something they didn’t believe they could really talk with anybody else about this especially since their races were basically hunted to extinction at one point so they did not have any options among their own kind as Vee did not know where her fellow basilisks went.

They soon finished serving the plates. Luz, Amity, Vee, and King are returning to the living room.

Amity whispering: Hey Vee do you need some abomination goo to eat?

Vee: Nah I am sticking to my natural form today but you can leave me some abomination goo for future shapeshifting.

Amity: You got it. Here are some pranks Ed and Em made.

Vee then ate them.

Vee: I am so glad you are dating my sister.

Amity: Nobody is happier about that more than me.

Luz: I sure know how to pick them or what?

Amity giggled.

Amity: I am not denying what you said but I am sure I picked you first.

Luz: And I am thankful everyday about it.

The four of them returned to the kitchen island. Luz sat on one side with Amity on her left and Vee on her right across from them are Emira, Edric, and King. All the palismans and the two pets are eyeing their food in anticipation. Now they will soon start saying thanks.

Camilla: I will start, I am thankful for meeting so many wonderful people.

Eda: I am thankful for no longer having to worry about any dumb guards going after me.

Raine talking nervously: I am thankful for that corrupt system being gone.

Eda gave Raine a playful nudge congratulating them.

Lilith: I am thankful for reconciling with my sister.

Eda got flustered since she considered that to be too sappy even if she agrees with Lilith.

Hooty: I am thankful to be invited.

Alador: I am thankful to having less work hours so I can spend more time with my kids.

Luz: I am thankful we can all get together like this.

Edric: I am thankful Batric can be here too.

Emira: I am thankful for multitrack at Hexside.

Vee: I am thankful to live in such a wonderful and loving home.

King: I am thankful for all the food I am going to eat.

All the Palismans and pets talked and the Palismans’ owners translated and told everybody else the Palismans said they are thankful for having wonderful owners.

Amity was a bit embarrassed about what she was about to say but she had to say what she was most thankful for in her life.

Amity: I am thankful for meeting Luz.

Both Luz and Amity were blushing. Camila was happy Luz has found somebody like Amity to be in her life, but right now she wants to save Amity from any potential embarrassment.

Camila: And let us all give a thanks to Luz for in one way or another bringing us together.

Everybody except for Luz: To Luz!

Luz started tearing up and Amity placed her hand on Luz’s shoulder.

Luz: I do not know what to say so I will say let us dig in.

This earned Luz some cheers from the hungriest of the people here. They then started eating.

Lilith: Oh it is so nice to try so much human cuisine.

Hooty: It is delightful I like this mush with meat chunks.

Luz: That is the mofongo.

Vee: It is made of fruit and meat.

Alador: Interesting you do not see this often unless they are in a pie.

Camila: You mean a meat pie?

Alador: Fairy pie actually, Amity is pretty good at baking them.

Amity whispering: Dad!

Camila: Sorry here we don’t really eat food that is still alive.

King: It is nice to see this realm has globs of meat too even if it has fruit chunks.

Raine: What do you think of it Eda?

Eda: It is pretty good.

Camila: I am glad you like it since we made sure it had no garlic.

Eda: I really appreciate that Cam.

Emira: What is this folded stuffed bread?

Luz: That is an empanada.

Vee: It is stuffed with two kinds of meat.

Edric: Oh it is like a fairy pie that also has pixie in it.

Lilith: Well both the human realm empanada and the mofongo are wonderful.

Camila: Wait you have empanadas in demon realm?

Lilith: We do indeed, although they are usually filled with bugs and they lack the wonderful zest yours has.

Hooty: I concur with your statement Lulu.

Lilith: Thank you Hooticfer.

Camila: I am so glad you all seem to like it as they are part of our culture.

Alador: This food of human culture is pretty good.

Camila: Actually those two are Dominican food.

Edric: Demon what food?

Emira: No, she said demonicon food.

Luz, Vee, Amity, and King giggled.

Vee: It is DOMINICAN food.

Raine: Is that a specific city?

Luz: Actually it is an island nation.

Vee: That is where Luz’s ancestors are from.

Lilith: I am learning so much, Hootcifer please remind me to write this down later.

Hooty: You got it Lulu, Hoot.

King: Now I want to try that slab of meat.

Luz: That would be the honey glazed ham.

Edric: So these must be really good if you have to fight bees for them.

Amity: The bees here do not make fire.

Edric: Really?

Emira: So how do they attack?

Luz: With a poison stinger.

Alador: How deadly is the poison?

Vee: It is worse if you are allergic.

Eda: They may not have fire but those bees sound like a real problem to deal with if they swarm around you and keep stinging.

Luz: They can only sting once and then they die.

Raine: That is a bit morbid.

Eda: Yikes that is intense.

Alador: it sounds like a design flaw.

Luz: Well the stingers break off and they keep pumping venom.

Alador: If I was still in the weapon business I would have incorporated that into the abomination crossbows.

Edric: You could use that for a weapon to use against wild beasts.

Emira: Or a new kind of syringe.

Amity: You could use a system involving an abomination balloon to do it.

Alador: Huh that could help people.

Raine: How about we go back to the food.

Hooty: Yes like this delicious bird.

Camila: I am just glad you, Lilith, and Eda are not upset.

Eda gave Camilla a confused look as did Lilith.

Eda: Why would we be bothered?

Camilla: Well it is a bird.

Luz: Ah mom all three of them are partially birds that eat other birds.

Eda, Lilith, and Hooty nodded yes.

Eda: I have eaten worse than just birds.

Lilith: I ate one that kept insulting me once.

Hooty: I eat birds all the time it helps prevent the house from getting dirty.

Vee wanted to change the subject.

Vee: These deviled gryphon eggs are really good.

Camila: Yes you did a good job on these they go better with the mashed potatoes than I thought.

Amity: Thank you very much.

Luz whispering: Thank you my cotton candy haired chef.

Amity was blushing but she was trying to hide it since Em and Ed are here.

King: You are a good snack maker. Though I can’t tell if these are better with the mash potatoes or separate because either way everything is very tasty.

Hooty: These are divine.

Alador: She did work hard on these and her efforts paid off.

Eda: Yeah you got the creaminess right.

Raine: And the right amount of spices.

Lilith: While you are not on the potion track you are good at following a recipe.

Amity: Thank you all for saying these compliments.

Edric: We helped too.

Amity: You two only ate the ones that didn’t come out right.

Emira: We had to or they would have only ended up good for a substitute stink potion.

Luz: Thank you for all the effort you did for us.

Luz hugged Amity and once more she was trying to hide the fact she is blushing. They continued to eat until they were done with dinner.

Camila: Now after dinner and before desert we usually have a family tradition of seeing an animal documentary does anybody have any issues with this?

Lilith: I will be glad to see any new sources of knowledge.

Hooty: I am happy to be included.

Raine: I wonder if I can use this as some inspiration.

Alador: This sounds interesting.

Eda: Why not?

King: I hope there is bloodshed.

Edric: Oh count me in I am excited for this.

Emira: Sure.

Amity: I am very happy to partake in your family traditions Luz.

Luz: Alright this seemed to be settled.

Camila: If you want to bring your own chair you can.

Everybody went to the living room including the palismans and pets. The adults all brought their chairs and their palismans sat on their shoulders. Kings and Edric had Echo and Batric on their shoulders. Luz and Amity sat on the floor along with their palismans and King. Ed and Em sat on the couch behind Amity and Vee who was also on the couch behind Luz.

Luz: I will turn on the tv and today they are showing an animal documentary about animals from various parts of the oceans.

Luz turned the tv on and everybody who was originally from the Boiling Isles with the exception of Vee and Amity were amazed to see a sea that wasn’t boiling.

Eda: Your world really is different besides the lack of titans.

The Arctic circle was being shown first.

Alador: That is one frozen island.

Vee: Some of that is frozen water from the ocean.

Lilith: Amazing the water is cold enough for ice to form, I must write this down.

Hooty: I will get you your notebook.

Hooty coughed up a notebook in a sealed bag much to everybody’s disgust. There was a seal on a piece of ice.

Emira: You have selkiedomous too?

Amity: I know they look alike but that is a seal.

Edric: I know it lacks plants, does it shoot spikes?

Luz: It doesn’t.

Vee: I think they just bite.

Luz: Although some of them can really bite.

A walrus was being shown.

Eda: Wow I did not think any animal on earth had teeth that big, it looks like it can eat a unicorn.

Raine: I think they have an aquatic one.

The documentary was now showing a narwhal.

Luz: Interesting fact that is not a horn.

Alador: What is it?

Luz: A tooth.

King: Wait so the tooth goes through its head?

Luz: Yeah, I don’t know if that counts as a headache or a toothache.

Vee: If that wasn’t a natural feature I would say both.

Amity: I agree.

The next scene showing was a view of the ocean but they heard a whale singing before they could see it.

Raine: Oh I like this it is sort of soothing.

Eda: Rainestorm I have a recording of this back at our house I will let you listen to it.

Raine: You are the best Eda.

Lilith: I am not so sure.

Eda: They are just stating the truth and there isn’t anything wrong about that is there Raine?

Camila: No arguing you two.

Eda and Lilith sounding dejected: Yes Camila.

The blue whale came out of the water shooting water from its blowhole.

Emira with a look of shock on her face: Is that a fish titan?

Lilith with a look of glee on her face: This is history making information.

Luz: It is not a fish it is a mammal like a selkiedomus, and no it is not a kind of titan.

Alador: Does it posses water magic?

Luz: No, it got water in its nose.

Eda: Gross.

Edric: Imagine what that thing eats.

Luz: It has no teeth and only bristles but it can eat a lot in one gulp.

Hooty: Like me.

King: What does it eat? Tooth paste?

Camila: They eat small shrimp which are like crabs.

King: It must be hard to go in the ocean with so many of them in the water like that.

Luz: Actually they are kind of rare though they are doing better.

King: What happened?

Luz did not want to explain.

Vee: They were hunted for their oil over a century ago.

King felt depressed. Luz held his hand, Amity put her hand on his shoulder, and Vee touched his tail with her’s, and the Echo mouse was hugging one of his horns. He was feeling better already.

Next they were showing some fish and King felt excited as he saw a sawfish and a sword fish.

King: Oh what are those two?

Luz: A sawfish and a sword fish.

Eda: I really didn’t expect so many naturally weaponized creatures like this.

Lilith: This is exhilarating.

Hooty: Absol-hootly.

Edric: So how does it catch fish the sawfish because I think it would get fish stuck on its nose and I am not sure how it would get them off after impaling them.

Luz: They don impale.

Raine: I am no expert on beasts of any kind but are those sharp points on its nose?

Luz: Yes but they slash things apart.

Emira: Weird you think it would look more like a sword then.

King: But the sword fish looked more like a spike fish.

Luz: Even though it looks like a spike it does slash with it.

Amity: Is there anything else you can tell us about the sawfish?

Luz: Well the saw has been used by some people as weapons and it can sense electrical fields with it.

Alador: Now that is truly interesting.

Luz: Well all sharks, a broad category of fish can do that.

Camilla: I think now we should have the deserts, we usually eat it as we see the documentary is that ok with you all?

Everybody nodded yes.

Luz: Alright I will pause it so I can help mama with the pie.

Vee: Me too.

Amity: Me three.

The four of them quickly served up the pie and the cookies Hooty and Lilith brought. They then resumed the animal documentary and they saw a great white and a hammer head. Most of people there were surprised by the variety of sharks and how many teeth they had. They also complimented Hooty on his cookies and some mentioned how they like the blood red of the pie. Camila told them it was Luz’s idea for cherry pie. Amity, Ed,Em, and King gave her a thumbs up as they like her choice of pie. They were soon done with the pie.

Luz: Next we have the coral reefs.

Edric: Wow those are colorful rocks.

Emira: No I think they are ocean flowers.

Luz: Those are animals.

Amity: And they barely move so it is hard to tell they are alive.

Eda: So they just laze around?

King: I am jealous.

Luz: Some do and some are more active.

Vee: Oh look a butterfly fish.

Alador: Where?

Luz: It is the black and white one. It is the one above the sea anemone with the orange and white clown fish living in it.

Raine: It does have a striking appearance.

Next was being shown a Japanese spider crab.

King: That looks like a big bug demon.

Luz: That is a spider crab.

Eda: I have seen bigger.

Lilith: And the ones we have seen were on land and made webs.

Luz: These are just called spider crabs because of their legs.

Emira: Did that spiky ball move?

Edric: I think it did.

Luz: That is a sea urchin.

Vee: And yes it is pretty much a ball of spikes.

Luz whispering : Hey Amity.

Amity whispering: Yes Luz?

Luz whispering: Want to know what fish I would be?

Amity whispering: Yes.

Luz whispering: I would be a clown fish.

Amity whispering: Is it because you are funny and beautiful to look at?

Luz did not expect that reply and now she is still trying to whisper despite the fact she was blushing.

Luz whispering: Thank you but I am not fishing for compliments.

Amity was doing her best to hold back her laughter.

Luz whispering: If I was a clown fish I would get to be with you my sea Anemity.

Amity was now holding back her laughter as she was blushing. Amity was feeling once again why she loves being with Luz so much, she makes her happy.

Camilla: I will take the plates.

As Camila did that the other adults minus Hooty went to the kitchen to drink the apple blood as Eda whispered to them earlier that they should drink some while they are here.

Luz: Alright now we are going to my favorite part of the ocean the abyss.

They saw some bioluminescent squid doing what they are known for.

Emira: Is that tiny kraken making an illusion?

Edric: I think it is like glowing ink maybe.

Luz: You are right Ed.

Edric: Yes I am in the beast keeping and potion tracks for a reason.

King: What does that have to do with potions?

Edric: I am pretty sure in mixes chemical to do that thing without magic.

Luz: He is right.

Emira: Wow you don’t hear that often.

Ed: Hey!

Amity was trying to stifle her laughter but for the first time today she couldn’t. Next a gulper eel was shown. More than one person was surprised by how wide it opened its mouth.

Hooty: Hey that is just like me.

Luz: Hooty there is no creature in the human realm like you.

King: And there isn’t anything in the demon realm like you either.

Hooty: Awe hoot, you are going to make me blush.

Vee: I think you are interpreting that in the wrong way.

Amity: I am not even sure other house demons are like him.

Hooty: Awe I can only take so many compliments at once.

The rest of them gave up on explaining what they meant and they enjoyed the documentary until the end. However Raine came back into the room in a hurry.

Raine: We may have a couple issues.

The six youngest went into the kitchen and they saw four adults sobbing.

Luz: What happened?

Raine: It turned into a pity party after we drank some apple blood, maybe a bit too much even I got a bit teary.

Luz: I guess it is time we call it a day.

Hooty: I will carry you Lulu, Mike I may need your help with some things.

Lilith’s plaisman Mike Socks flew to Hooty to help open the door.

Lilith speaking drunkenly: Thank you, Hootcifer and Mike I promise to be a better friend.

Hooty: You are already my best friend.

Mike Socks: Caw(mine too).

Mike opened the door as Hooty carried Lilith.

Raine: I will carry Eda on my shoulders and King can you help with her legs?

King: Sure.

Eda speaking with slurred speech: You two do so much for me I got to make it up to you.

Raine: You do plenty.

King: I will help but I need to talk to Luz first.

Luz: What is it hermanito(little brother)?

King whispering: Bring me left overs tomorrow especially that honey ham and pie. This is a secret royal decree.

Luz whispering: You got it my liege.

This got a giggle out of King as he was helping carry Eda’s feet after detaching them to make it easier on Raine. Luckily Fiddle and Owlbert will help with opening doors as will Echo.

Emira: Ok I will lift him by one arm and you get the other Ed while Amity grabs his feet so he doesn’t drag.

Amity: I can’t. I need to stay back to help since Camilla can’t. Plus I need to bring back the box.

Camilla speaking sleepily: I can take care of things, I promise I will.

Vee: Mom you need to take a nap.

Luz: We can handle things mama.

Both Luz and Vee took Camila to her bed so she can fall asleep.

Amity: Here I will lend you a hand.

Amity summoned an abomination, fortunately she talked to Camila about having some drum containers full of abomination goo stored at the house where the portal is. Amity summoned a small abomination to help.

Edric: I guess this is fine, come on Batric.

Batric landed on his head.

Emira: Well we can get Ratador to fly us home in time.

Ratador scurried up and stayed on Alador’s head.

Alador mumbling: I love you kids.

Amity: We love you too dad.

The twins took their dad home as Amity stayed behind.

Luz: We appreciate the help.

Vee: Thanks a lot Amity.

Amity: So what should I do?

Vee: Well there are some pots that need cleaning.

Luz: The three of us can do it quickly.

Luz used the soap and sponge, Amity managed the water, and Vee put the cooking equipment away. Ghost and Stringbean were throwing away the plastic utensils and paper plates.

Luz: Today was an incredible day.

Amity: It sure was.

Vee: Unforgettable.

Luz: And we have so many things to be thankful for.

Amity: Yes we do.

Vee: You are right about that Luz.

Luz: Should we say what else we are thankful for?

Amity and Vee: Yes.

Luz: I am thankful for today since I never expected to have Thanksgiving dinner with a big family.

Amity: I am thankful for today because at one point I never thought I could have a happy family dinner.

Vee: I am just happy to have a family to have dinner with and I can not believe it is with such a happy one.

Luz then hugged Amity and Vee and they hugged her back.

Vee: I will throw the trash away you two can check if anything else needs to be done.

Luz gave Vee a thumbs up for being her wing gal and Vee gave her a thumbs up as well.

Luz: Thanks for staying.

Amity: And now I am thankful for spending more time with you.

Luz: Awe Amity.

Luz and Amity kissed as they wanted to do that all day. Soon Amity was going to leave but she opened the portal door and she couldn’t and she went back into the Noceda house.

Amity: I am stuck here.

Vee: Is the portal broken?

Amity: It is the weather.

Luz: What is it?

Amity: Shale hail, it is the colder months after all. I guess I am going to stay the night.

Luz: I will tell my mom.

Vee: I will leave her a note just in case.

Luz came back before Vee did.

Luz: I told her and she said you can stay the night.

Amity: Now I get to be thankful for staying the night with you.

Luz: You are simply the sweetest girl ever.

Amity: No, you are.

They smiled while blushing and then they kissed.

Luz and Amity have so much to be thankful for, but they each have something special to be thankful for. Amity will always be thankful for Luz bringing light into her life and Luz will always be thankful towards Amity for helping her not lose her light.

Chapter Text

Luz is 19 Amity is 20 and are about to leave their shared home to attend the Frostbite Festival at the toes. Luz is wearing a dark blue parka with white mittens that are connected to the sleeves so she can take them off without putting them away along with slightly puffy black pants, and tan boots with fake tan fur around the top. Amity is wearing a dark purple winter jacket with a white fur trim around the neck and sleeves, pink ear muffs, her gloves are lavender colored, she also has sleek black pants, and black boots with pink lines on the sides with multiple straps on the front. She also has a black and purple striped scarf with pink crescent moons and on both ends there is a large pink A and a pink heart with a lavender L. This is one of the gifts Luz gave to Amity for their first anniversary.

Luz: You look great, I almost just want to stay home just to kiss you.

Amity: So do you, and I feel the same way but we should call our Palisman.

Luz: You are right come here Stringbean.

Amity: You too Ghost.

Stringbean came floating in wearing this sock like dark purple parka with a hood at each end so she can cover her tail when she is not in staff mode. Ghost has a small pink scarf, pink gloves tied to her ankles so she can take them off in staff form, a small furry beige hat with flaps on the sides, and a dark purple sweater that covered all of her legs.

Amity: You two look so cute.

Ghost and Stringbean showed off a bit.

Luz: I am glad it worked out.

Amity: Of course they would work out, you designed them, and you have good taste.

Stringbean: Hiss(yup).

Ghost: Meow(indeed).

Luz: Thanks girls now we should go before the festival is over.

Amity: I will take care of that.

Amity used abomination goo to teleport them to the festival.

Luz: We are here at the toes.

During this time of year a lot of the swamps become frozen so the outskirts of town looked a bit creepier than usual. In the town the Frostbite festival was in full bloom. There were blue lights from what looked like frozen eyeballs on lampposts. There were decorations made by what looked like blue and black leather along with black sticks. These were actually products made of skin, flesh, and bones that suffered frostbite.

Amity: Now what to do first.

Luz: How about some food.

Amity: They do have a lot of blood based food but you cannot eat those.

Luz: Actually after that wonderful breakfast of steak and griffin eggs you made I was thinking some of some sweet ice cream.

Amity: But you can’t have dairy.

Luz: I found this place that sells ice cream that substitutes the milk with spider silk webs.

Amity: Well that should work you can eat spiders.

They then started walking towards the store, as odd as it sounds ice cream during the Frostbite Festival is normal.

Luz: You know they have something like this on earth.

Amity: I thought most milk on earth that weren’t plant based were from mammals.

Luz: Well some scientists made genetically modified cows with spider silk proteins in their milks so people can have more spider silk to work with since we do not have giant spiders.

Amity: That is sad but at least they are working on making silk more available.

Luz: Yeah I really like the spider silk products from the isles and we are here.

Fortunately the ice cream parlor called Spid-Ice Cream is not crowded. They soon saw the owner. He would look like a yeti if it wasn’t for the fact that he has green scaly hands, six mandibles, and five eyes hidden by his white fur.

Owner: Hello would you four like some seats?

Luz: Thank you.

Amity: We really appreciate it.

Owner: Wait you are the one who save the isles and you were the one who was able to resist the Collector’s magic to help saved those in the Archives House. Luz Noceda and Amity Blight!

Luz and Amity still get recognition from that day though fortunately it didn’t get too badly out of hand.

Luz: Yup that is us.

Amity: That is correct.

Owner: Can I take a photo of you for my wall of fame?

Luz: Sure.

Amity: I am fine with that.

They took a photo and the owner had a big smile, they recognized some others on his wall of fame such as Eda when she was the most infamous criminal, though he only started putting that photo up after she wasn’t wanted, he also had one of her with Raine and King.

Luz: I am not surprised.

Amity: Eda does travel a lot.

Owner: So what can I do for you four?

Luz: First I wanted to say thank you for making a dairy free alternative to ice cream since it usually gives me digestion problems.

Owner: It is nothing, I have the same issue with dairy, luckily spider demons make more than just milk.

Luz: At least you only have to deal with food from one realm.

Owner: That does sound rougher.

Amity: So what should we order Luz?

Luz: I was thinking we should order three smalls so we can have room for all six flavors. The third is for our palismans.

Amity: I hope that is not an issue.

Luz: Or annoying.

Owner: Not at all.

The first flavor was Sludge Chunks.

Luz: Wow these are like triple chocolate cookies or extra fudge brownies from back home.

Amity: The spider silk webs in this goes really well as a dairy substitute.

Luz: Of course haven’t you ever heard of silky milk?

Amity started laughing.

The next flavor was Key Slime Pie.

Luz: Oh the sweet and sourness goes so good together.

Amity: The slime thickness is just right.

Owner: Thank you and here is the next one.

The next flavor was Eye Scream a pinkish ice cream with eyes that move around.

Luz: I know food here have eyes but I can never eat them since they always stare at me.

Amity: I will eat your share.

Luz started hand feeding eyeballs to Amity, Amity would be embarrassed but she noticed the owner was in the back and nobody was looking at Luz or Amity. So Luz was free to indulge in pampering Amity. Stringbean and Ghost are used to this.

Owner: I got more Rath Berry.

Rath berry is a light purple ice cream with teeth.

Luz: Amity can you help me?

Amity: You want me to eat the teeth.

Luz was blushing from embarrassment.

Luz: I can eat teeth and they are a good source of calcium but I need them to be in powder form first.

Luz was embarrassed as powdered teeth was the equivalent for powdered milk on the Boiling Isles that was easy to digest for infants.

Amity: No problem.

Amity used some solidified abomination goo to help crush the teeth into powder and put it back on the ice cream. Amity found Luz needing to have teeth turned into powder to eat them as adorable and saw nothing shameful in her needing it. Then again Amity would have hand fed or spoon fed Luz if she asked for it.

Luz: We are ready for the next one.

Owner: Here is some Franken Fruit.

He left some dark purple ice cream in the small serving cups.

Amity: Ah your favorite.

Luz: I can’t resist it has such complex and mixed up flavor.

Luz ate hers quickly and Amity hugged Luz when she got brain freeze. Fortunately Amity helped her overcome it.

Owner: The last one is here Abomi-Berry.

Despite the name it is a light blue in color.

Luz: Ah now they have your favorite.

Amity: Even if it is not purple I still love it.

The two of them and their palismans finished the ice cream.

Luz: That was great.

Amity: Do you have to go containers?

Owner: I do.

Amity: In that case I would like two medium containers of Rath Berry, Eye Scream, and Skudge Chunks, along with a large container of Franken Fruit and Abomi-Berry.

These two flavors that are Luz and Amity’s favorites are different but they like them best when they together, though they usually mix them as fruit drinks since Luz cannot normally have ice cream.

Owner: Here you go.

Luz: I will pay.

After she paid they began to leave.

Amity: Thank you for this experience.

Owner: Anytime I am here all year.

Luz: Well now you have some customers for life.

Owner: I appreciate it.

When they were farther away Amity teleported the ice cream to her and Luz’s house and had an abomination put them away in the freezer.

Luz: So Ams you got those ice cream, for Edric, Emira, and Alador.

Amity: Well I thought they would like to try it and it is easier than getting personalized souvenirs.

Luz: So should we do some shopping?

Amity: Sure.

Luz: Great we should get some souvenirs for our friends.

They went shopping to many stores. For Willow they got this flower pot made from swamp mud that had lovely flower decorations on it of flowers that only grow in swamp mud. For Gus they got this glasses case made of grayish frostbitten leather. For Hunter they got these wooden carving tools specially made for colder trees in a dark blue frostbitten leather kit. They found this jug of hard apple blood that is made with a local syrup for Eda. For Raine they found what looked like jingle bells filled with blacked frost bitten bones on a frost bitten light blue leather strap. For Lilith they found this leather book cover, they decided to go with the light blue frostbitten one. For King they found a big bag of frostbitten jerky for him to eat. For Hooty they found some frost bitten meat chunks in a can he may like to try. Amity was teleporting the things back home so they wouldn’t have to carry too much.

Amity: Wow we have been going around a lot.

Luz: Are you ok?

Amity: Luz witches may have lower stamina than humans but remember I am your girlfriend and I do exercise you know. Plus I felt like I just walked off all of that ice cream.

Luz: I noticed, and yeah I am hungry after some hours of shopping.

Amity: This time I know a place to eat.

They went into this cafe. Luz did not know about this place but she trust Amity’s choice in food. They sat down and a cyclops waitress arrived

Amity: One foot cake with nuts, four hand-cakes, and four cups of fire bee honey and crab apple tea with lemon please.

The waitress nodded yes and went to another table after informing the chef.

Luz: Wow you must have been looking forward to this place.

Amity: I thought you would like it and I even prepared it to be fitting for you.

Luz: What do you mean?

Amity: Well foot cakes usually have bones in them but I ordered the one with nuts instead. And do not worry the fruits in it are ones you can eat.

Luz: You are so sweet sweetie.

Amity: I am just getting sweet food for my sweet girlfriend.

They barely noticed the waitress returning with their order. The hand-cakes were in the shape of hands and the syrup on them was blood red, sourced from local trees. The foot cake looks like a loaf in the shape of a realistic foot. The fruits in it were crab apples, franken berries, rath berries, and abomi-berries.

Luz: Well it does look like a foot and not just a flat one like the hand-cakes it also sort of looks like a fruit cake.

Amity: Want me to make it look like a loaf?

Luz: Thanks.

Amity: No problem, plus I can give the toes and ankle to Ghost and Stringbean.

Amity cut off those pieces from the cake and Luz and Amity ate rest of it while, enjoying their hand-cakes, and drinks.

Amity: Since it was my idea I will pay for this one.

Luz: Actually can we get a foot cake and some hand-cakes to go so my mom, Vee, and Masha can eat some?

Amity: Of course batata(sweet potato).

Once again after the purchase was done Amity used abomination goo to teleport the food home.

Luz: So want to do something in the snow since there is so much.

Amity: Sure.

Luz: Let me just use my crystal ball on my charm bracelet to find some safe spots.

Amity loves how Luz can still be spontaneous while being cautious.

Luz: Alright I see a place where we can make some snowmen.

Amity made some snow shoes with abomination goo and soon they reached a snowy hill and they started workin on some snowmen. Amity made one with Hecate’s crown along with arms and a face made of abomination goo. Luz made one with an Azura hat that she made with some snow glyphs. The sticks used for the face and arms were made with plant glyphs. She also made a carrot for the nose so Amity made one for hers with an abomination spike. Stringbean and Ghost made their own snowman which kind of looked like a puppy.

Luz: Something is missing.

Amity: I got it.

Amity used some magic to move the snow so the snow Hecate and Azura were looking at each other and then Amity made her snowman hug the snow Azura.

Amity: So what do you think?

Luz: Perfect.

As they started enjoying the moment a blue fairy appeared.

Snow fairy screaming: Give me your toes!

This caused Luz to shriek and Amity punched the fairy away.

Amity while glaring at the fairy: Do that again and I will make you into a pie!

The snow fairy left but not just because Amity terrified it, there was a small avalanche. Amity made a wall of abomination goo and some spike cleats on her feet to stay in place. Amity also made a rope of energy to hold onto Luz. Luz made a big energy dome with Oracle magic to further shield them both and their palismans.

Amity: You ok?

Luz: Thanks I would have been buried without you. And sorry about this.

Amity: Luz you have nothing to apologize for, I am sure the fairy loosened the snow when she screamed at you.

Luz grabbed a handful of snow.

Luz: I have an idea.

Luz tripped and Amity received a snowball to the face.

Amity: Oh so you want a snowball fight?

Luz with worry in her voice: No, I just tripped.

Amity with concern in her voice: Are you Ok?

Amity helped Luz stand up.

Luz: I am, and the snowball was an accident, although if you want to have a snowball fight I am fine with that. I will let you have the first toss.

Amity: Thanks but I do not feel like doing that.

Luz: How about we see who can make igloos the quickest.

Amity: I will make a demand when I win.

Luz: Alright but I will still do whatever you tell me to do if I win.

Amity: Me too.

They both know they are both going to get what they want no matter who wins.

Amity made a giant abomination balloon in the snow and inflated it to make the dome and Luz used several snow glyphs to make her’s. Amity made some abomination tools to carve her dome and Luz made some tools with some plant glyphs. It ended up being a tie.

Luz and Amity: It is a tie but I want a kiss.

They both giggled as they had the same demand in mind. They then kissed each other making their faces feel all warm.

Luz: I think a frozen lake is nearby, we can ice skate there.

Amity: Sure but I am testing it out first, just to be safe.

They found the lake. And Amity made a giant abomination to test it and the ice was stable.

Amity: Shall I make some ice skates?

Luz: I was hoping you would say that hermosa(beautiful).

Amity smiled and made the ice skates out of abomination goo. The lovebirds were a bit wobbly but they soon found their balance.

Luz: Now I want to show you a surprise.

Amity: You always surprise me.

Luz: Even though you can practically read my mind without using Oracle magic?

Amity: It is a contradiction but only you can make that wonderful contradiction possible.

Luz was blushing as she started her ice skating routine. Amity saw Luz gracefully skate. Despite the fact both Amity and Luz can trip over just by walking on solid ground onto their faces they are pretty good when it comes to dance like activities.

Luz: Now for the last part.

Luz tapped her foot and she made several connected ice glyphs that together made an ice statue of Amity.

Amity: I knew you would make something incredible.

Luz: Well I have an incredible model whose face is like a piece of art.

Amity was blushing so much she was making some steam in this cold weather.

Amity: I got an idea now watch this.

Amity started skating in a circle, she then jumped and made a bigger circle around the first one and she did this a few more times. Luz knew she was making a big spell circle as the circles were glowing pink. When Amity was done a big statue of Luz made of snow appeared.

Amity: I dedicate this art to my beautiful model.

Now Luz was now the one blushing so much she made steam. After this Luz and Amity skated around their statues together in a romantic dance. Ghost had some trouble on the ice so Stringbean became a walrus and slid around the ice with Ghost on her back. Luz and Amity were so distracted by each other that they fell into the snow. They then started laughing, before they started kissing. After that Luz stood up and helped Amity stand.

Luz: This has been great, I was worried about you getting mad at me for the snowball incident, and you would deny me hugs and kisses.

Amity: Luz I can never deny you hugs and kisses, we both know we need them from each other often.

Luz: Well I am glad you did not give me the cold shoulder especially since I was on thin ice.

Amity started laughing.

Amity: Luz how can I be cold to you when you make me feel so warm, honestly I can feel all the warmth going to my face.

Luz then hugged Amity placing her face against Amity’s chest.

Amity: While I am fine with you spontaneously listening to my heart I do not think you can hear it through these pieces of clothing.

Luz: I just got a bit concerned since you know when you are cold heat should go to the most vital places and I am worried about it going too much into your face because of me.

Amity: Luz my heart is always warm thanks to you, it will never get cold.

Luz: Do you want to go back home?

Amity: That is a good idea so we do not freeze since it will be night soon.

Amity then abomination goo teleported the four of them back home.

Amity: Say after we take some quick showers how about go into the hot tub down stairs?

Luz: That sounds wonderful, I will take the upstairs shower and bathtub.

Amity: Fine with me I will take the underground shower.

As she left Amity made a detour to the kitchen to check on the surprise for Luz she had the abomination make, and it will soon be done. Just before she went into the bath tub upstairs to take a shower Luz made an Oracle apparition to make a surprise for Amity. They were both done and they were heading to the hot tub in the swimsuits they picked.

Amity: I turned it on.

Luz: I will be there.

They were both stunned as they looked at each other. Luz wore a light purple high neck one piece swimsuit and Amity wore a black one piece tank swimsuit with the bottom looking like shorts. These swimsuits were ones they picked since it reminded them of when they went together to the beach in the human realm when they lived there together five years ago.

Luz: You look beautiful hermosa(beautiful).

Amity: You look lovely as well.

They went into the hot tub while Stringbean and Ghost were content to just dip their tails as they laid down on the edges of the hot tub.

Amity: I hope the swimsuit does not disappoint you since I am not showing too much skin.

Luz: How can I be disappointed with that swimsuit when it is showing you strong arms and back, not to mention how it hugs your curves.

Amity while blushing: Well I like yours showing off the tattoos on your shoulders and how it clings to you showing off your curves.

Now they were both blushing.

Luz: I have a surprise.

Luz got the Oracle apparition to bring a small table with its tail and some glasses of hot cocoa with marshmallows.

Amity: What a wonderful surprise.

Luz: I knew you would like it.

Amity: It would go well with my surprise.

Luz: Your surprise?

Amity gave Luz a cheeky smile and she used abomination goo mask a table and then she used some more abomination goo to teleport in some freshly made donuts. They were covered in chocolate glaze and peanuts.

Amity: I hope you like them.

Luz: I love them.

Amity: You know I do feel bad about how much sweets we are eating.

Luz: We both have good metabolisms and we did sweat off some of the sweets we ate today already. Plus we can always exercise, we do have the home gym you made. I know you will look forward to that.

Amity: So will you.

They simply smiled at each other and the four of them enjoyed the two surprises.

While it was cold that day they had plenty of warmth and sweetness, however they already fill each other’s lives with warmth and sweetness everyday.

Chapter Text

Both Luz and Amity are 19 and are asleep in their shared bed at their home. Luz is wearing a grey short sleeve shirt with a bat on it along with purple pants. Amity is wearing a purple shirt with a white cat on it, she also has grey shorts on. The reason they both seem to be wearing each other’s clothes is because they are, which neither of them has any problem with. Soon they woke it is the day Amity has a surprise for Luz that will give them a stable future for years to come. They opened their eyes and the first thing they see is each other.

Luz: Hola(hi) Amity, how is my corazon(heart) doing today?

Amity began listening to Luz’s heartbeat.

Amity: It sounds amazing as always.

Luz: That is not what I meant.

Amity: Just a bit longer.

Luz: Sure thing.

Luz was fine with this, if Amity fell asleep again Luz would simply wait until she wakes up rather than ruin her peaceful rest. Amity stopped on her own.

Luz: Did you get what I meant?

Amity: I do.

Amity brought Luz’s head closer to her so Luz can hear her heartbeat. After all Amity knows her heart belongs to Luz.

Amity: Well?

Luz: Beautiful as always but that is not what I meant either but I am staying her just a bit longer.

Amity: Of course do this as long as you need to.

Luz eventually stopped this tender moment on her own.

Luz: So how is mi corazon(my heart) doing today?

Amity: I am doing fine Luz.

Luz does refer to Amity as her heart. They then kissed and headed downstairs for breakfast. Amity was making breakfast and singing a Dominican song she liked all the while she was swaying her hips which Luz quickly became mesmerized by, Amity knew this would happen but she was in too happy a mood to care and she was definitely not going to stop if Luz liked it.

Amity: The steak, griffin eggs, and buttered toast are ready.

Luz: I will get the orange juice.

Amity made three plates for herself, Luz, and their palismans.

After that and after they got dressed they spent the morning studying. Amity was studying an ancient book and Luz was studying for some of her classes just to make sure she remembered things correctly. Before it was noon they went to see the surprise Amity has made that she said Luz would love and would provide stable income for years. They flew on their palismans towards the raised arm of the titan.

Luz: I can’t wait.

Amity: I can’t wait to see your reaction.

Luz saw what has been a known long term project around the raised arm. It was a long bridge that coiled around the arm but it looked different since it did not seem to be for walking and there were no normal train tracks but there were some odd things on the floor of it. Luz was a bit stumped. But she got her answer.

Luz: Is that what I think it is?

Luz saw out of this witch made tunnel a train come out. It was gold and purple in color. It had parts that looked like cat ears on top and with its front windows and streamline shape at the front it looked like a snake. But the thing that surprised Luz the most was it was floating.

Luz: You made a magic train?

Amity: Well it is made with abomination engineering but it is not flying due to magic but it is due to science. It is powered by electromagnetism so it is a Maglev like the one you told me about in Japan when we went with my dad to that automobile convention in the human realm after our first anniversary. I got inspired by that idea and made my own when it was said the government needed a way to transport people and cargo up the arm so I suggested this idea.

Luz: This is simply amazing and I am surprised I was able to inspire you during that day since I was a bit emotional.

Amity: You always help me even when you think you are not, why even one of the safety features I installed I owe to you.

Luz: How I did not help you build it?

Amity: Well look underneath the floating train but from a distance.

Luz did and she saw underneath it were some levitation glyphs which were the safety hover glyphs with an extra ice and fire glyph.

Amity: That is incase something is wrong with the electromagnetic propulsion and you see those vents on the sides and on top those will make either abomination balloons or wings to land safely incase something goes wrong and they need to steer back on track.

Luz: Amity you think of everything.

Amity: No, I owe this all to you.

Luz: It is not like I move the arm.

Amity: You made sure it did nothing bad and I dedicate this train to you which is why I named it The Guiding Light.

Luz saw on the side of the train it said guiding light and engraved under it Amity wrote por mi luz, Luz(for my light, Luz). Luz was so emotionally overwhelmed that her knees gave out and Amity caught her before she fell.

Luz: Thanks Amity.

Amity: Anytime.

Luz: You always make me so happy.

Amity: I want to make everything happy for you.

Amity was not just saying that. Besides being a romantic gesture and a stable piece of income Amity had another reason to make this train. Amity did not want Luz to have any bad memories from that day it was raised. Honestly if Amity could move the arm back into place she would but people have already moved into the new arm. So Amity decided to add a feature so it would always be the first thing Luz will notice. If Amity cannot erase the past she will make something new to overshadow it. And she succeeded.

Amity: Now we should go in and take a ride just the four of us.

Amity gave Luz and their palismans a tour.

Amity: This is all automated with abominations so that means less people to be hired.

Luz: And more money for you and Blight Industries.

Amity: For us remember you are going to my by partner in life and business.

Luz: Well it is a nice idea.

Amity: Yes it will always be sustainable as long as people live on the raised arm. Plus many business owners will have to pay to use this train to get their products moved here so there is income from them and the people boarding the train.

Luz: So extra money for you.

Amity: Well there are still taxes but yes oh and we personally don’t have to pay in exchange for some free maintenance but those will happen really infrequently.

Luz: How infrequently.

Amity: Once a decade and a checkup at roughly once a year.

Luz: You are a good business woman.

Amity: Well I am not a scammer or liar like some other so called businesswomen so I have earned a lot of trust. Now follow me.

They went pass the area for the passengers and went into the cargo area.

Amity: Now we have a strict regulation on what can be brought so no wild demons or dangerous materials but a lot of things can fit in this area.

Luz: Why are we going into this section?

Amity: It is for the section after this one that we are going to.

Luz wondered what she meant. Soon they went into a new train section but it was really different as it looked a bit more refurbished than the passenger sections.

Amity: Welcome to the Lumity train cart, which is just for us.

Luz: You made an extra train cart just for us?

Amity: Yes I did, and there is a pragmatic reason as it is closer to the engine. Luz now lets us take a seat and enjoy the view.

They sat down and the train was moving but they can barely notice as it is a very smooth ride. They sat on the side facing outwards so they can see the isles. It was such a sight as they kept seeing more of the isles and more of the Boiling sea the farther up they went. Both of them wanted to see further out. Amity made some binoculars made of abomination goo with abomination glass lenses to see. Luz did not want to use Stringbean’s tail and Oracle magic to see with her eyes when she shapeshifts them into eyestalks since Stringbean is enjoying the view with Ghost so Luz grabbed two ice glyphs and used them to make ice binoculars which worked due to the magnifying properties of ice.

Luz: The view is beautiful.

Amity: Yes you are.

Luz was blushing.

Luz in a suave flowery voice : Dear Amity my beautiful girlfriend is there anything I can do to return this love you give to me?

Amity was now the one blushing, which is odd since she usually blushes first.

Amity: There is one thing. Now lay back.

Luz did and Amity placed her head against Luz’s chest and she just enjoyed listening to her heartbeat as she closed her eyes.

Luz: Lo unico que quieres es escuchar mi corazon latiendo en mi pecho(all you want is to listen to my heart beating in my chest)?

Amity: Mas que cualquier otra cosa(more than anything else).

Luz granted Amity’s request. As she laid there Luz covered Amity’s ear that was not listening to Luz’s heartbeat and gently caressed it. At this very moment the only thing Amity could sense in all of existence was Luz and nothing more. Amity was so happy that she was humming and she sounded like she was purring. Luz’s heart started to beat faster. There is no way Luz’s heart could resist beating faster when she was hearing Amity practically purring. Luz lost control of her own heart but if Amity is the one controlling it Luz was not going to do a thing to change that. Soon they reached the top of the magnetic railway.

Amity: So what do you think?

Luz: I love it.

Amity: Great now we can enjoy the ride back down.

Luz: Sure but I need to throw these melting binoculars somewhere.

Amity: The private bathroom is in the side of the short hallway to the engine room.

Luz: I am not surprised you have made a private bathroom here.

Amity: It is better to have it than not to have it.

Luz went in and closed the door. She put the ice binoculars in the sink and then she made a shadow apparition with her crystal ball charm bracelet.

Luz: I have an idea you take these glyphs and you will create a great surprise for Amity

Luz began whispering the idea to the apparition and the apparition gave a thumbs up. Luz came out of bathroom and distracted Amity by saying they should look inwards towards the arm while going down this time. The apparition was able to slip by Amity. Luz knew this only worked since it wasn’t a dangerous scenario otherwise Amity’s protective and battle instincts would have picked up the apparition. The apparition left the train while it was still at the top. Luz, Amity, Stringbean, and Ghost enjoyed the view of the raised arm. So much changed in just a short five years.

Luz: I am getting hungry how about I make lunch.

Amity: Sure thing.

Luz used Stringbean and teleported the four of them back home.

Amity: So what will you make.?

Luz: How about some chimichurri burgers and sodas.

Amity: Great, I love those burgers.

Luz: You know Amity it means a lot that you do like some of my favorite foods from Earth and not just because of the digestion issues.

Amity: Your culture’s food is just like you, absolutely wonderful.

Luz started to prepare the burgers. Luz was singing the song Amity has sang earlier. Luz was also swaying her hips like Amity was doing earlier. Luz did not have much confidence about copying what Amity did earlier but Amity would disagree. Amity knows better than anybody else that Luz is an amazing dancer. And while Luz has less curves than her girlfriend, to Amity Luz’s dancing was just as mesmerizing to her as her dancing was mesmerizing to Luz. Luz hoped she returned the favor from the dance show Amity had performed earlier and Amity’s locked on gaze showed she absolutely did. Luz made three burgers and cut one in half for Stringbean and Ghost. The four of them enjoyed a wonderful lunch together.

Amity: You make the best chimichurri burgers.

Luz: Thanks Amity, but I got a surprise for you.

Amity: Where?

Luz: Back at top of the raised arm.

Amity: I will teleport us this time.

Amity used abomination goo to teleport the four of them to the top at a spot where the end of the railway is.

Luz: Great now we need to fly and go higher up.

They flew on Stringbean and Ghost and now it was Amity’s turn to be shocked by a grand gesture of love. On the titan’s left index finger the highest point on all the Boiling Isles there was the apparition that Luz sent and it was floating next to the grand surprise. Made of plant and light glyphs there was a vertical tower that spelled I❤️U.

Luz: Well what do you think? Besides your love my love for you towers over everything else on the isles.

Amity was speechless.

Luz: I hope you aren’t mad that it is taller than The Guiding Light.

Amity: Luz I love you.

Luz: I love you too Amity.

They kissed and they just made the world record for highest kiss in the demon realm without realizing it.

Luz: I had a crazy idea.

Amity with a mix of anticipation, excitement, and worry in her voice: What is it?

Luz: How about we have a race.

Amity: You mean who can fly to the bottom quicker?

Luz: I was thinking we do a a few laps and use a different method each lap.

Amity: I am intrigued so what methods should we use?

Luz pondered this for a while.

Luz: How about we first roll down using magic especially protective magic, then we make a platform to go up, after that we use magic partially shapeshift to go down using an unconventional locomotion, then we fly up, after that we fully transform to go down, and finally we teleport home.

Amity: Sounds fun but how about every time we finish a lap we will wait for the other before starting the next one, and we should be within notice of each other even if one of us is further ahead.

Luz: Sounds fine to me.

Amity: So is there a prize?

Luz: How about the usual.

Amity: So the winner gets a kiss and the one in second place has to give the winner a kiss?

In the event Luz does lose Amity refuses to ever refer to her as the loser due to some of Luz’s past trauma. So Amity just says whoever is in second place.

Luz: Sure but first I need to deal with the apparition I made.

Amity: Ok I will pick a good starting point.

Luz flew towards the apparition.

Luz: I have another surprise for her if you don’t mind.

The apparition gave a thumbs up.

Luz: Take these bag of snails and buy the following for dinner.

Luz whispered and the apparition nodded. It will wait for Luz and Amity to be further down so Amity will not notice it. Luz flew towards Amity

Luz: Are you ready?

Amity: Yes but for this first one please be in your shadow form just incase.

Luz: Alright as long as you are in your abomination form during this.

Luz and Amity were both going to use magic to go down the arm specifically the ulna bone. Amity turned into her abomination form and made a protective pink barrier around herself a spell Lilith taught her. She also filled the inside with more abomination goo to help protect Ghost. Luz turned into her shadow form using Oracle magic. She made a spherical force field using Oracle magic and she used some plant glyphs to cushion the inside to help protect Stringbean. The two girlfriends rolled down the arm. It was scary but they knew they would be fine. The winner of this round was Amity due to the fact Amity could see from many directions and shift the weight of the abomination goo to help steer. They reverted back to their normal forms.

Luz: That was fun right?

Amity: It would have been too terrifying to try if we didn’t take so many precautions.

Luz: So you never want to do that again?

Amity: Only if we take that many precautions and not anytime soon.

Luz: Alright let us go up.

Luz made a platform of light with Stringbean and Amity made one of abomination goo. They both went back to the top of the arm and Amity once more won this lap since she made the platform more aerodynamic.

Amity: That was different. We should remember that if we need to fly and use our staffs at the same time.

Luz: Good idea and onto the next part.

Luz used Oracle magic to grow tentacles made of shadows from her hair and Amity made long abomination arms come from her back. They were basically running down the arm with their new limbs. Luz won this round since she was more nimble even though Amity’s extra arms had a better grip.

Luz: I won this one.

Amity: We will see who wins the next one, mi novia guapa(my handsome girlfriend).

Luz was now blushing as she nodded yes. They rode their palismans up the arm. They both were going to use magic to fly faster. Stringbean was covered in a purple glow making her accelerate as she took a form with many wings so she can have more maneuverability. Even though it looked like Stringbean would have the advantage since she is lighter as well Ghost and Amity had a surprise of their own. From Ghost’s mouth she was shooting a stream of fire and she was rocketing up higher into the sky. Amity and Ghost won this round.

Luz: That was amazing and are you ok?

Amity: Give us a minute.

Luz did and once they were ready it was time for the second to last round. Amity transformed into her abomination form and Luz turned into her shadow form. They both went down the arm for the last time in this race as they also safely carry their palismans in their hair. Amity was going down like a flood going down a mountain. However Luz was a shadow and there is nothing that slows down a shadow moving across a surface so she won this round. They both returned back to normal.

Luz: Now it is time for the last round.

Amity: Let us see who will be there first.

They both used their own methods to teleport and Luz arrived at home first as her teleportation is light based not abomination based.

Luz: Well it is a tie.

Amity: And it is a good thing we have a rule for that.

When there is a draw they simply kiss each other. An outcome both of them enjoyed a lot as the kiss went on a bit longer than intended.

Luz: Now I will make you dinner since it will take a while and it is close to dinner time.

Amity: Thanks Luz.

Luz: Even though you are the better chef I am happy to do it anytime you want.

Amity: Luz you are a wonderful chef.

Luz: Thanks Amity now I better get cooking.

Amity waited as she saw the news on the crystal ball with Stringbean and Ghost.

Amity: If you need help please tell me.

Luz: I want it to be a surprised and I have an apparition helping.

Fortunately the apparition was preparing things before Luz got here so things went quicker than Amity would have expected.

Luz: Dinner is served. Now we have chicharron(fried pig skin) and tostones(twice fried plantain slices)for an appetizer, locrio(season rice with meat) with Dominican salami, chicken salad, and a worm shrimp(a bug demon that is basically a giant shrimp that is all lobster tail) covered in lemon, butter, and garlic. Dessert is still baking in the oven. It will be Dominican style macaroons(not to be confused with macarons), and peanut butter cookies with jelly on them.

Amity: I do not know what to say about this grand feast you made.

Luz: If it is too much we can save some.

Amity: It is not that. We did not have any worm shrimps.

Luz: I would have made pork shoulder even though it is more of a Christmas thing, however it takes too long to make, and I could not buy it and surprise you. So instead I sent the apparition to buy a worm shrimp. I know they are expensive but I had to do something as a show of appreciation for that amazing train you dedicated to me. I hope you are not upset I was deceiving you a bit.

Amity: Luz we both agreed the only time we can hide or deceive each other is for when we are preparing surprises, and it was well worth it.

Luz: Thanks Amity.

Amity: You are so amazing.

Amity kissed Luz and the four of them enjoyed a truly grand feast. After gently tucking in Stringbean and Ghost who fell asleep in their bed Luz and Amity got ready to go to their bed. They soon laid down under the covers together.

Luz: Hey Amity I was thinking.

Amity: Sure tell me.

Luz: I want to make a train dedicated to you.

Amity: That is so sweet.

Luz: But even after I get my degree in abomination engineering I know I cannot do it without your help. So I am not sure it would even be a present if I want to dedicate it to you.

Amity: I happily accept. So where do you plan to make it?

Luz: It is a really crazy idea.

Amity: Oh boy where is it going to be?

Luz: I was think an underwater train system connecting the knee to the wrist of the titan’s other arm.

Amity: Wow you may have beaten my idea.

Luz: Sorry about that.

Amity: Don’t be, and that would make sense for travel and transportation reasons.

Luz: I was thinking we can make the face cat like with some whiskers. I have also thought of a safety feature.

Amity: Wow, you have really thought about this.

Luz: Yeah I was thinking a teleportation glyph system in case of an emergency since flying would make it worse.

Amity: I may be able to make an abomination teleportation system as another back up.

Luz: Good idea I also have the perfect name for it.

Amity: I can’t wait to hear it.

Luz: I would like to call it The Friendship Bracelet. For three reasons, first is it connects to the wrist, the second reason is it can signify deep bonds, and a third reason I am sure you can guess.

Amity had a feeling as Luz was blushing. Just as Luz’s name means light Amity’s name means friendship so just as the light in The Guiding Light can refer to Luz she wants the friendship in The Friendship Bracelet to refer to Amity. While the relationship between Luz and Amity is so much more than just friendship Luz still treasures that relationship they still have even if they have moved past it just as much as Amity treasures it. Amity kissed Luz.

Amity: You are so incredible, goodnight mi Luz(my light).

Luz: Goodnight mi amor(my love).

They kissed again and fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Luz has always been a guiding light to others, even with that romantic gesture that will happen one day she though she just wanted to return the favor to Amity but this will be another example of her being a guiding light to the isles. And nobody knows this fact better than Amity.

Chapter Text

It has been a few monsters after the isles were saved. Luz, Amity, and Vee are heading to a local sandwich shop that is selling these cheese steak sandwiches that use a cheese substitute made of cashews. Camila and Luz wanted to try them so these three girls are getting five and the fifth one will be split for Stringbean and Ghost. Camila is taking care of some chores in the mean time with her two palisman helpers. Luz and Amity wore what they usually wore before they went back to the demon realm while they were stuck on earth but Luz didn’t have her beanie and Amity had a purse full of abomination goo.

Amity: So the cheese steaks are from a place call Philadelphia.

Vee: That is right.

Luz: And don’t worry none of us are going to say the full name of the sandwich due to some bad memories.

As they were walking under a tree something fell on Luz. They saw a fuzzy worm that was black on both ends and orange in the middle on her arm.

Amity with concern in her voice: Luz what is that?

Vee: Isn’t that toxic?

Amity with extreme panic: Quick we have to get you to a hospital oh wait this is an animal should we call your mom?

Luz: Actually this is a banded wooly bear caterpillar and they are not toxic they are just fuzzy and some people are sensitive to the hair and get a rash. As you can imagine I played with them as a kid and they do not bother me. Now time to let this little guy go.

Luz lifted her hand towards the tree and it crawled back onto it.

Amity: I am so glad it wasn’t toxic.

Vee: I am glad it didn’t fell on your face near your eyes that could still have been bad.

Luz: I don’t know if it fell on my face it could have matched my eyebrow.

Luz wiggled her left eyebrow making Vee giggle and Amity blush as she giggled.

Luz: Well I should go wash my hand since I touched the tree I will be back.

Luz left to a nearby bathroom in the park to wash her hands.

A while after she left Vee went eep and hid behind the tree. As Amity wondered what happened she heard some rustling in the bushes. She saw a man with glasses and a camera. It was Jacob.

Jacob: Yes I will ambush the demon and get her to expose her demonic nature on film.

Amity hopes being with Luz has improved her improvising skills. Amity grabbed a stick and put some abomination goo on it at the end. She rushed towards Jacob and swung the stick at his sleeve.

Amity: Get away you creep.

Jacob: I am trying to be a hero exposing a demon and oh great you ripped my sleeve.

Amity faked a scream and pointed at his sleeve.

Amity: Why are you bleeding purple goo!?

Jacob look at the tear in his sleeve shocked at the sight.

Jacob with panic: What did you do?

Amity: Nothing this is just a normal stick see for yourself.

Amity broke the stick in half and tossed it towards him and he went on his knees to look at it. When he was distracted looking at it on the ground Amity whispered phone to Vee and Vee tossed her phone towards Amity. Amity was acting like she was filming Jacob.

Jacob: It is just a wooden stick.

Amity: And I caught you whatever you are healing as your wound closed and your purple blood went back in.

Jacob looked and the purple goo was gone as Amity teleported it back to her purse when he was distracted.

Amity: Now the government will take you away and study you in a cage before they dissect you.

Jacob: No! I am human, I am the good guy!

Amity: Isn’t that what a creepy monster disguised as a person would say?

Jacob stuttering: That is right a monster would say, I have to leave town.

As he was running away Amity made two spell circles and fired to make him partially forget about Amity, Luz, and Vee. So he remembered what happened but not all of the details. He then drove away in his car.

Amity: Hopefully that will take care of him.

Vee: I hope we don’t have to see him again.

This plan was more effective than they could have thought. He left to live off the grid in Alaska. Nobody has heard of him afterwards. Whether he met his end by car accident, a snowstorm, a disease, wolves, a bear, or he simply lived out the rest of his days alone he never bothered anybody again and that is what matters.

Vee: That was amazing.

Amity: Being with Luz has helped with my improve skills. And now hopefully that is one less threat against you or Luz.

Vee: I am kind of surprised you did that without fighting him. Even I was ready to fight him the next time I thought I would see him.

Amity: Well if he attacked Luz or had attacked Luz things may have been different. No offense to you I would have attacked him if he tried to hurt you again. Plus I do not want to cause Luz anymore trouble in this realm. Although to be honest he seemed like a guy to run with a dagger and he would trip and fall on it.

Vee: None taken and you have a point I can see that happening. That would have been hard to deal with.

Amity: It depends on what you mean.

Vee: What? I don’t get it.

Amity: Well I have learned the amnesia spell and using fire and corrosive abomination goo can get rid of a lot of things.

Vee: You mean after he would have fallen on his dagger and he expired right?

Amity: Yes though I am not sure on Luz’s stance on that since he hurt himself and we wouldn’t be able to save him. Though I do hope we would never have to dispose of a body even though I am sure Eda has some experience. Also here is your phone.

Vee took back her phone.

Amity: Plus this could be a way for me making up for a past mistake.

Vee: What do you mean?

Amity: On the day Luz and I first saw each other Willow cheated with a fake abomination and I told Principle Bump who wanted it to be dissected and I was fine with that.

Vee: So what happened and what does this have to do with Luz?

Amity: I was glad Willow was going to be exposed for cheating however I was not aware of it at the time but Luz was that fake abomination.

Vee had a shocked expression on her face. Amity expected for her to step back in disgust but Vee put a hand on Amity’s shoulder.

Vee: You must have felt bad about it when you found out Luz was human.

Amity with a hint of sadness in her voice: Disappointingly no, the second time I saw her I blamed the incident on Luz even though I got myself sent to the principle’s office and I didn’t start regretting it until after I had a duel with her and she only learned the light glyph and she had not learned to weaponize it yet. I was just the jerk attacking her.

Amity started tearing up.

Vee with a look of compassion on her face: That must have been hard to deal with since she eventually became someone who is the most important person in your life.

Amity wiping the tear away: She means to me a lot more than that. I honestly am still surprised she wanted to be friends with me let alone girlfriends. So I will make sure she will never be in the same circumstance she was in on the day we met. And I promise I will protect you from that scenario as well.

Vee: Thanks Amity.

Amity: I just wished my vow of protection meant something.

Vee saw how saddened Amity was. Vee like the rest of the Hexsquad and some family members knew Amity hasn’t been the same since she almost lost Luz. None of them have been to be honest but she took the worst of it in some ways even worse than Camila, Eda, or King. But Luz has been helping her get better as Amity has been doing the same for Luz.

Vee: You know you are not the only one who has done wrong to her.

Amity looked at Vee with a surprised look on her face.

Vee: I thought after I impersonated Luz and even after I just met her that Luz was just ungrateful for the things she has. I told her I resented her for that even though Luz was the first person to have ever accept me as I am who was not a fellow basilisk and she was even fine with me living as her. And she only ran from camp not from Camila and the only reason Luz was stuck is she sacrificed the portal to protect the human realm. Then from Camila I found out Luz didn’t have it easy. She was bullied and never made a friend in her whole life in this realm. Yet give me a few months and I had more friends than Luz did in her whole life here. I just judged Luz based on my own experience even though she helped me when I got caught in a trap after she just found out I impersonated her. She honestly saw me much better than I thought she ever would.

Amity in a slightly saddened tone: That is the thing with Luz others judge her to be bad based on their own experiences even though she is more than willing to see the best in others even if they are the worst of people. It is like her own curse.

Vee: Yeah but I wish to tell you that was just it. When Luz was super depressed and the rest of you were with Camila she told me something. She told me I was the daughter or the Luz Camila should have had. When she told me that it broke my heart. I hugged her and told her Camila, I, and our friends are so lucky to have her.

Amity: Another thing I noticed about Luz is she can see the positive in others but it is hard for her to see it in herself.

Vee: I wish to say making Luz feel that way was the worst thing I have ever done to her.

Amity with confusion and concerned in her voice: What did you do?

Vee: You know how Luz found out about the Azura series?

Amity knows that this is an especially personal thing so it must have been serious.

Amity: Yes I do.

Vee: I found out from Luz how she got her first Azura book and when I heard this I remembered how I nearly threw it in the trash along with all her other things while I was impersonating her. I cried on Luz’s lap and begged her for her forgiveness even though I almost did something completely unforgivable. And I am sure you know what she did.

Amity: She said it will be alright, she then hugged you and patted you on the back and afterwards she got you some tissues?

Vee: Exactly.

Amity: That is Luz alright.

Vee: Honestly she is a better sister than I deserve.

Amity: Yeah I feel she is better than I deserve as well. Which is why I plan to maybe make up for my mistakes by getting her a gift for each mistake I did to her for our first anniversary.

Vee: That is sweet.

Amity: Please don’t tell her.

Vee: I won’t.

Amity: Hey Vee can I ask you something?

Vee: Of course.

Amity: I know you do not like confrontations and you are more effective against magic users.

Vee: Both are true.

Amity: When I am not with her and you are in the human realm can you protect her when she needs it. I know there are less dangerous beasts and there is no magic but still there are ways Luz could get attacked by somebody with a weapon like that Jacob.

Vee: Well I may not be a fighter but I do have one thing.

Amity: What?

Vee: Luz told me about this creature with super tough scales that can even deflect weapons and I can partially shapeshift into it to have the same scales.

Vee was referring to an alligator gar but Amity thought she was talking about a beast demon.

Amity: Did it work?

Vee: Well we didn’t test it but once when I tried shapeshifting my scales into that creature's while I was cutting a vegetable I sneezed and the tough scales shielded me from getting cut so it works. So while I may not be able to fight I will protect Luz’s life. I will not lose my hermana(sister).

Amity hugged Vee.

Amity: Thank you so much Vee.

Vee hugged Amity back.

Amity: I am so glad Luz has you for a sister.

Vee: I am so glad Luz has you as a girlfriend.

They then heard a camera click. They were worried it was Jacob but it was Luz.

Luz: Sorry I wanted a photo of this cute moment between my sister and girlfriend. So did I missed anything?

They both explained what happened to Luz.

Luz: I am so glad you two are ok.

She then hugged the both of them, a hug they returned back.

Amity: I got to go wash my hands.

Amity left leaving the Noceda sisters by themselves.

Luz: So Vee are you ok?

Vee: I was scared but having somebody as reliable as Amity with me made me feel so much better.

Luz with a happy sigh: That is Amity so incredibly reliable. You know I am really glad you two get along so well.

Vee: Is it because of the basilisk incident at Hexside?

Luz: Did she talk about it?

Vee: Yeah I was worried about how the others would think of me. I ended up being the most concerned with Hunter but then I found out we had a lot of things in common not all pleasant but in common. Though the one who scared me the most was Amity since like Gus and Willow she had a bad experience with a basilisk and one point I impersonated her girlfriend which was an entirely separate matter. But things worked out.

Luz: How?

Vee: When we were alone I asked her how she felt since I was a bit nervous with the others since I felt like the most like an outsider.

Luz: Yeah that feeling is never easy to deal with.

Vee: Right, so I asked Amity why she didn’t seem to be hostile at all. She told me that since basilisks go after sources of magic Luz is the safest logically speaking and more importantly you trusted me and that was good enough for Amity. She then hugged me and thanked me for making sure Camilla was not alone as she knew how much that would have bothered you. I ended up crying as she was the first resident from the demon realm who was not a basilisk to accepted me.

Luz: That is Amity she is as sweet on the inside as her hair looks on the outside. I really need to make up with her.

Vee: What are you talking about? I know you two are not fighting.

Luz: No, otherwise I would have been apologizing.

Vee was a bit concerned as Luz was showing some low self esteem. Vee knows Amity has been helping Luz with that and she has improved but sometimes she can still get a bit downtrodden. Vee put her hand on Luz’s shoulder and that brought a smile to Luz’s face.

Luz: I have messed up with Amity in the past so I am hoping to make it up to her on our first anniversary by giving her a gift for each mistake.

Vee was amazed even though Luz and Amity are completely opposites in some ways they are exactly the same in other ways.

Luz: Please don’t tell her.

Vee: I won’t.

Luz: I am really glad my girlfriend and my sister get along.

Luz hugged Vee and Vee hugged her back. Amity saw them and waited a bit to let the Noceda sisters take their time before she walked towards them.

Amity: I wish I had my scroll with me to take a photo.

Luz: We can reenact it later when you have it.

Vee: I don’t mind.

Amity: We should get the sandwiches.

Vee: Yeah we don’t want Camila, Stringbean, and Ghost to get hungry.

Luz: Now we march, para los(for the) sandwiches!

She raised her arm. Amity and Vee did the same.

Amity and Vee: Para los(for the) sandwiches!

They then bought the cheese steaks made with cashew cheese. And went back to the Noceda residence.

Camila: Ah there you three are I was getting worried.

Vee: We ran into a bit of trouble.

Camila: Who is in trouble?

Luz: None of us are.

Amity: It has been dealt with.

They explained what happened. Camila then hugged them and was happy they were ok. She kissed them on the forehead. Luz couldn’t help but be happy seeing Amity and Vee get this kind of affection. They were also glad Luz seems happier.

Camila: Si vuelvo a ver a ese loco le voy a pegar otra vez en la cabeza con una chancla(if I ever see that crazy guy again I am going to hit him in the head with a flip flop again)!

Luz: Calm down mama.

Vee: Amity took care of him.

Camila: Thank you for protecting them.

Amity: I am happy to keep them safe.

Vee: I will help you with preparing the table mama.

Camila: Thanks Vee.

Vee and Camila went to the kitchen as Ghost and Stringbean hopped on Luz and Amity’s laps and they began scratching their palisman’s ears.

Luz: I really owe you one for doing that.

Amity: You don’t, I am just protecting my girlfriend and her sister.

Luz: Well I am still thankful.

Amity: I am thankful that you have Vee here with you when I am not.

Luz: And I am thankful that you two have gotten along so well. Vee used to be so nervous about confrontations but even though she still doesn’t like them she does seem to handle it better I am glad you were there for her.

Amity: I am sure that is because she has gotten braver thanks to her sister. Vee’s sister is very good at bringing the best out of people including myself.

Luz smiled and blushed as Amity complimented her.

Luz: I am really glad she has become her own person for a couple of reasons.

Amity: Like what?

Luz: Well it would have been awkward since we are dating and she used to look like me.

Amity: That would have been awkward.

Luz: Then again it could have been even weirder with your siblings.

Amity: What do you mean?

Luz: Well during the library incident both Em and Ed called me cutie and I am pretty sure I blushed.

Amity: They didn’t pull a prank on you did they!?

Luz: No, it is just I never had anybody call me that before that day. Plus I have mentioned the puppet incident and you know my lack of a dating history so I fortunately didn’t pursue anything since I thought they were just joking.

Amity: Luz first of all you are a cutie and I am sure they were not serious otherwise I would have heard them say something related to dating and you fortunately that has never happened. So now you are my cutie.

Luz: And you are my cotton candy haired sweetie.

The love birds then kissed. Camila told them dinner was ready and they enjoyed a nice family dinner with six at the table.

Vee was thankful to have both Luz and Amity in her life just as she was thankful that they have each other.

Chapter Text

After Luz is 16 and Amity is 17 they are planning to go on a date to this new restaurant Luz heard about that has a strong association with Latin America. Luz is dressed in a a red and black suit for the occasion with black dress shoes. She has slicked back her hair. She also has her crystal ball charm bracelet on. She is at her desk in her room seeing what is on her scroll. Amity gave Luz a scroll for her fifteenth birthday. Luz’s scroll is unique as the golden skull on the back is a golden snake skull and her scroll has bat wings like Eda’s has black bird wings. Luz was seeing what has been going on with her friends. She usually needs Stringbean to open the portal to get a signal which isn’t an issue as Eda uses to have Owlbert collect trash from the human realm for her. Plus Stringbean is happy to help Luz stay connected with her friends. On Penstagram where Luz is known as FriendsofOwlsandTitans the same social media name she uses in the human realm Luz saw what her friends have been up to. She saw the Emerald Entrails practicing and then they had to stop Puddles from chasing a skin badger. Gus was showing a catalog of human appliances to the human appreciation society after he became the president again. Matt is not bothered by this since Gus went to the human realm plus he is vice president so he still feels in charge as he is more of the planner as Gus is the showman. Luz saw a post by Emira of a potion going wrong for Edric. Luz then saw the post she wanted to see most from WITCHCHICK128 also known as her amazing girlfriend Amity. Luz saw Amity taking a photo of a new restaurant that has been a popular date spot recently. Luz also saw Boscha and Amelia at a table, Boscha had her hand outstretched so she and her girlfriend were not seen in the post. Luz was thinking how Boscha has mellowed out since she would have been throwing fireballs or yelling in this scenario in the old days. However Luz can guess that Amelia has helped Boscha mellow out, Luz knows better than anybody how a wonderful and supportive girlfriend can do wonders for your mental health. Luz stood up to see if Amity will arrive soon and the wind from her movement accidentally pushed a paper she needed for school and it went behind Luz’s bed.

Luz: Dang it, Stringbean can you help me.

Stringbean flew in to the room.

Stringbean: Hiss(What is it Luz)?

Luz: A paper fell behind my bed and I need a light.

Stringbean made pouches of light appear under her eyes like a flashlight fish and Luz used her as a flashlight. Luz saw the paper and she could not reach it.

Luz: Can you get it for me.

Stringbean: Chirp(Sure).

Stringbean turned her tail into a rattlesnake tail and she used bard magic to safely retrieve the paper.

Luz: Thank you my little power noodle.

Luz kissed Stringbean on the head making her blush. They both heard footsteps.

Amity: That was cute.

Amity has arrived and she is wearing this dress that was red, blue, and white with a frill of the same colors around her neckline. Amity found a dress in the demon realm that was similar to a Dominican Republic style dress. Amity also has black shoes on. Her eyes are more of a hazel color and her ears are round due to the concealment stone she has. For her sixteenth birthday Luz bought her a concealment stone using money from junk she sold from the human realm. Eda was really proud of her. The concealments stone Luz got for Amity is a pink crescent moon on a black leather wristband. For the first birthday the other would have after they met they both wanted to give each other something to make life easier in each other’s home realm. They truly are on the same wavelength.

Luz: You look really bonita(pretty).

Amity: And you are extra guapa(handsome) today.

Luz: As much as I like looking at you we should get going.

As soon as they left the room Camila took a photo of them and Vee was with her.

Camila: Sorry but you two look great.

Amity: Gracias(thank you).

Luz: That is nice of you to say, and can you give me the keys.

Camila: Here they are please be careful.

Luz: I am a careful driver despite what most would guess.

Camila: I know.

Amity: I will keep her safe.

Camila: I know.

Luz: Bye and we will bring left overs.

Vee: Thanks sis.

Luz: No problem hermana(sister).

Luz and Amity then waved goodbye as Camila, Vee, Ghost, and Stringbean did the same. Luz and Amity were near the car Luz used the Oracle charm bracelet she has to make a hand made of purple energy to open the door for Amity.

Amity: My how chivalrous.

Luz in a suave voice: It is important to always be a gentleman for a beautiful lady.

Amity was blushing red the whole time she was getting in the car, and Luz could not tell but this definitely made Amity’s ears twitch from joy. Luz the. entered the car. Luz started to drive towards the restaurant.

Amity: So has it been fine since we fixed it?

Amity was referring to an incident a few weeks ago.

(This part is a flashback).

Luz was finished doing a grocery run for her mom and Amity was with her. Luz used the crystal ball charm bracelet earlier to check the grocery list she made before she started driving. Luz avoided hitting a cat that jumped in the road and while she didn’t crash she did hit a pot hole breaking the back axle.

Luz: Do you think we can fix it?

Amity: We could, but you should call your mom.

Luz did and Camila has some faith they could fix it since Amity did know a lot about engineering and Luz has taking construction courses which could help as they do work with metal.

Luz: Alright she said yes and while I was talking with her I made sure there was nobody around by scrying around the area. Amity can you put an illusion spell for the car being parked so we won’t be bothered?

Amity: Sure.

Amity made two spell circle and put them on her wrists to maintain the spell. One was to make the car appear there and the other was for them to be invisible.

Luz: Alright now can you lift up the car and cover the bottom with abomination goo while holding the broken axle in place?

Amity: You got it.

Amity made two giant abomination hands lift the car up while two smaller ones held the broken axle while the bottom of the car was coated in abomination goo.

Luz: Now it is time to fix it.

Luz used her crystal ball to fire a thin beam of purple fire to weld the broken axle together. Luz then saw something in the corner of her eye.

Luz: Watch out!

Luz made an energy dome above Amity just as a pigeon was about to poop on her. She saved Amity from that fate. Amity then walked away from the dome.

Amity: Thanks Luz did you see the future to prevent that?

Luz: No I scryed the area earlier. Scrying is more reliable than future sight due to that being less accurate. The same thing with seeing if somebody is a liar by checking their aura. I mean Barcus can do that naturally but I noticed him being wrong a few times.

Amity: Yeah I noticed that too.

Luz: Still that aura seeing can be helpful which is also something I used earlier to be on the look out for anything hidden and that is how I saw a lot of pigeons in a nearby tree, now I should get back to work.

They fixed the car and drove it back home and Camila thanked them for saving the Nocedas a couple hundred dollars.

(End of flashback).

Luz: We are here.

It was a grand restaurant that was bigger than expected. They went in and they saw many things. On one wall there were flags from many Latin America countries, on another wall there was a tile map of all the Latin American countries. What stood out most was the dance floor. They went to the counter and they were soon guided to their table.

Luz: Ok so I heard you can order things without cheese which is good for me and we can get a discount if I can order everything we want in Spanish so do you mind me doing all the talking?

Amity: Of course not.

Luz: Also I know we will be eating Dominican food but do you want to try something a bit different?

Amity: What do you have in mind?

Luz: I saw wet burritos and chimichangas on the menu.

Amity: I have had burritos before but why is it wet and what is the other one?

Luz: In simple terms one is a burrito with a sauce on it and the other is a deep fried burrito, you eat both of them with a fork.

Amity: Sounds interesting and I am fine with you choosing the whole menu.

Luz: Are you sure?

Amity: Yes, Luz you have good taste.

Soon the waitress arrived and Luz ordered the menu. Their drinks will be sodas. For appetizers they would have tostones and chicharron(fried plantains and fried pig skin) along with locrio(a rice dish typically with chicken but Luz ordered it with Dominican salami). For the main course they will have the wet burrito and the chimichanga. For dessert they will have macaroons and Dominican styled bunelos(which are doughnuts made from cassava, eggs, and a cinnamon sugar syrup made with coconut milk) which Luz was extremely excited for. Luz also ordered avena(an oatmeal based drink) as well without any milk.

Luz: Well since that will take quite a while should we hit the dance floor. I do believe they will be playing that Dominican song you liked.

Amity: Well we have been practicing the Bachata so we shouldn’t let it go to waste.

The Bachata is both a music genre and a dance from the Dominican Republic that Luz has been teaching Amity. Luz and Amity entered the dance floor as soon as that song Amity liked was playing. Luz would be the one leading the dance. They grabbed each other’s hands and they started dancing. They took a few side steps and Amity did a hip check then they danced back to where they were and they repeated this a bit. Amity then lifts her arms above herself and Luz grabs her shoulders and spins her around. They side step and after the hip check they repeated the spinning motion Luz did with Amity’s shoulders. Now Amity had an arm draped around Luz’s shoulders as they side step. They then separated. But Luz held Amity’s hand as it looked like she would fall. Luz then grabbed Amity’s left arm with both hands and spun her around afterwards Amity gave another hip check. Luz then grabbed Amity’s waist and spun her around before they started side stepping again. They then held each other’s hands and Luz spun around and their arms were crossed. Luz uncrossed their arms and Amity swayed her hips a bit as she crouched down a bit and Luz pulled her back up. Luz then pulled Amity closer by the waist and Amity did the same to Luz. They side step a bit more and just before the song ended Luz spontaneously dipped Amity. They forgot where they were until they heard clapping and cheering. Luz and Amity bowed and they went back to their seats as their food was starting to arrive.

Luz: That was so fun.

Amity: I really get lost in the moment when I am dancing with you.

Luz: Me too. Now let us try eating the tostones and the chicharron.

Both of them loved it Amity especially loved the chicharron.

Amity: I feel like I am a fairy due to how much I love eating this skin.

Luz with a suave voice: You cannot be a fairy because you are certainly more majestic than any fairy.

Amity was now completely red in the face.

Amity nervous and stammering: Thh Thank you.

Luz: Remember we are bringing left overs but I will buy extra chicharron for you.

Amity: No that is ok, but thanks for the offer.

Luz: Now time for the locrio.

They tried it and they were delighted by the Dominican salami in the locrio.

Luz: You can really taste the quality in these.

Amity: The spices in these salamis are so good.

Luz: That is how you can tell it is authentic Dominican salamis.

They then moved to the wet burrito and the chimichanga.

Amity: This wet burrito looks like it is drenched in blood due to the sauce.

Amity took a deep sniff but Luz tried to stop her. Amity sneezed due to the sauce’s spiciness and she got a runny nose. Luz covered Amity’s nose with a napkin.

Luz: Now blow.

Amity did and Luz needed a few more napkins.

Amity: Luz I am so sorry about this.

Luz: I will go throw these away and wash my hands.

Amity was so embarrassed that she just did that. Luz returned from washing her hands.

Luz: You feel better Amity?

Amity: Yes and I am so sorry.

Luz: Hey you would do the same for me.

Amity: Yeah.

Luz: Plus you didn’t held it against me when I had that digestive issue when we kissed and you just asked me if I was ok before we kissed.

Amity: That wasn’t that bad.

Luz: So should we start?

Both of them are eating something that for Luz she rarely ate and Amity has never tried before.

Amity: These two remind me of blood covered grubs and stuffed shelled larvae.

Luz: I am glad you like it.

Fortunately for Luz living on the isles has made comments like that unable to ruin her appetite. Now it is time for dessert.

Luz: These macaroons looked well done.

Amity: You can tell these are Dominican style macaroons since you can taste the ginger and cinnamon with the grated coconut.

Luz: And the darker color that is one way of identifying them quicker.

They then had some avena.

Luz: So how do you like it? I got the avena with vanilla to make it sweeter.

Amity: And I thought I was surprised by oatmeal being used in cookies let alone a drink. This is awesome.

Luz smiled as Amity happily drank a new drink she likes. Luz was also enjoying Amity’s happy blush.

Luz: Now time for the Bunelos.

Luz was looking forward to these the most as these are more of a Christmas time treat. Now it was Amity’s turn to watch her happily blushing girlfriend have a sweet treat. They enjoyed their dinner and soon they were heading home with many leftovers.

Luz: Thanks for carrying some of these Amity.

Amity: No problem.

While most would be bothered carrying leftovers for others Amity never was when Luz does this as she loves that part of Luz who wants to share the joy with her loved ones. As Luz was opening the car door she dropped the keys.

Luz sounding frustrated: Darn it, I dropped them.

Amity: I will get them just give me a light.

Luz used the crystal ball on her charm bracelet to act as a light source.

Amity: I see them, they fell down a sewer grate.

Amity used telekinesis to lift them and she was kind enough to open the door and turned the car on so Luz wouldn’t have to touch the keys again. Though Amity still telekinetically used a napkin that came with the take out containers to clean the keys. They sat back in the car with the left overs.

Luz: Thanks a lot Amity I am so happy to have you with me.

Amity: I am happy to be here, and I am glad you are good with Oracle magic.

Luz: Well I have had more practice with this kind of magic and I did tell you why I use it often.

(The following is a flashback)

Luz and Amity are relaxing on the steps in front of the portal.

Amity: Hey Luz.

Luz: Yeah?

Amity: I was wondering why you seem to use Oracle magic more since I know you like it but I would expect your favorite would be something else like beats keeping or bard magic.

Luz: That is true about beastkeeping but there are some issues with me using that magic. I am not that fond of capturing wild demons unless there is an emergency so I do not use it often. The enhancement spells are kind of advance so I can’t use them along with the beastly animating spells. And I do not like forcing a demon to fight for me. I actually have different reasons why I use Oracle magic a lot and not just because it is one of the two magic tracks I can naturally use.

Amity: Will you tell me?

Luz: Of course. Well you know I need an alternative to Stringbean incase of an emergency when she is not with me since I don’t have glyphs anymore. For beast keeping and plant magic I cannot just carry a dangerous plant or demon with me since I will most likely get hurt.

Amity: Yeah that is a good call.

Luz: For bard magic it would just be me carrying a musical instrument around and the one I use is too heavy to be mobile and I would never risk it in a fight. Besides bard magic just draws out magic and since I have none a musical instrument to me of any kind would just be a distraction or a blunt weapon in case of an emergency.

Amity: Those are some fine points.

Luz: For potions each potion takes space and their uses are too specific. Plus not to mention getting the ingredients and making them. A notepad for glyphs can have dozens of multi use glyphs and would take less space than a potion bottle. Plus they were much quicker to make.

Luz sighed knowing what she lost and Amity put a hand on Luz’s shoulder which cheered her up.

Luz: Now I do not carry abomination goo since to be portable it would be in a small amount and I can’t mold it without Stringbean so at best I could command a doll sized abomination which would be hard to clean after. Also I cannot use that magic jar you use to carry it with you.

Amity: Yeah there would be issues with that not to mention the lack of versatility for you.

Luz: Exactly. Now concealment stones from the illusion track would be good for making accessories and disguises but you know it cannot protect you once you get caught by something whether you are stuck somewhere or an enemy discovers you plus you cannot really use it to fight with.

Amity: That is true.

Luz: Healing glyphs are only good after something bad happen otherwise from that track I would just have a medical kit useful but mostly for after something bad happens. Though it may be good for art and crafts projects but that would be a waste. Plus healing glyphs are not instant healers.

Amity: Yeah good for an emergency but not something you can use often.

Luz: Now power glyphs from the construction would help more than the seven I mentioned. However you cannot solve all your problems with raw strength. Plus I feel I would break a lot of things.

Amity: So that is the only way power glyphs benefit you?

Luz: Yeah well there is some support as well otherwise what is the point of having super strength muscles if your bones cannot handle it, though that isn’t quite how it works. I am glad to have found out there is no inherent dangers about them.

Amity: Yeah one of the first of two things I did after we had our talk and you showed me the light glyph for the first time was to see if there were any health problems with power glyphs.

Luz: And you found out there was no problem with them specifically.

Amity: Yes the issue with them is not related to anything affecting the mind or body whether you have them on or you take them off as it affects the spells you create and not you except for the strength thing. The issue with them is handling the power boost. So with a bard they could make a sonic wave that breaks the ground beneath them by accident, a potion maker could make a fireball with too big of a blast radius, a beast keeper could trap themselves in a energy cage that is too big, a water shooting plant magic user could propel themselves backwards due to the force of the spell. Not to mention the stigma with using them in a fight.

Luz: Yeah I found that out in class when I asked what if somebody uses multiple power glyphs. They can but besides still being weaker than Galdorstones the two biggest issues with them is the power usage since you could create a tremor just by walking and the other issue is if one gets damage or removed it can weaken the spell and it could lead to some trouble like an emergency support pillar of a collapsing building shrinking just because a power glyph was scratched. Which is the reason why the construction coven uses them and not just because of the heavy lifting they can do as they are a track that thinks about the interactions of their spells after they cast them.

Amity: You mean like when they are most constructing a building.

Luz: Exactly. While any track can use power glyphs the construction track tend to plan ahead more with what they make which makes them suited for power glyphs. Kind of ironic when you remember there is an Oracle track. Oh yeah what was the other thing you did during that day?

Amity sighed since she didn’t wanted to mention this but she can tell Luz anything and knows she won’t judge her.

Amity: I tracked down every single person who saw our duel and I told them I didn’t know about the power glyph and I convinced them I am not a cheater.

Luz: You know I was worried about you during the library incident since you didn’t use abomination magic I thought it was related to the power glyph but I didn’t want to mention it.

Amity: Oh well there are few reasons for that and none of them involve the power glyph. One is I didn’t want to make a mess at my workplace.

Luz: That makes sense.

Amity: The other reasons are as you know from my diary which was an accident that wasn’t your fault I can’t show weakness and I was not confident I could summon a big enough abomination to help during the incident with Otabin.

Luz: That incident really affected you since when you confronted Lilith you really laid into her about that.

Amity: I did not expect that I would make her cry but I said what needed to be said.

Luz: I should have known power glyphs did not have any health problems since Tinella had one on before our duel and she still had it on after it and I saw her carrying a big book when I went to the library.

Amity: Yeah I saw her carrying a book bigger than she was that day.

Luz: Now what were we talking about oh yes Oracle magic. So now you know why I picked Oracle magic to use in an emergency if I don’t have Stringbean as it is more useful compared to the things I could use from the other eight tracks without Stringbean. Also it is good that I use it often since it is better to be prepared in case of an emergency.

Amity: You are a natural oracle since you are planning ahead.

Luz: Thank you.

Amity and Luz then kissed.

(End of flashback).

As they were close to home Luz stopped the car.

Amity: What is wrong?

Luz: Thinking about that time I want to kiss you a lot.

Amity: I do not want to worry your mom.

Luz: We won’t and if she asks we can just say we kissed a lot and kept it above the neck there is nothing wrong with that?

It sounded fishy but there is honestly not problem with that.

Amity: Then I should deactivate my concealment stone.

They started kissing and Amity then started giggling.

Amity: Luz! Stop kissing the tip of my ears!

Luz: Nope.

Amity: I will retaliate.

Now Luz was laughing from Amity’s kisses.

Luz: Leave my earlobes alone.

Amity: No! They are too cute.

Their kissing continued for awhile, they lost track of time but they were not late when they arrived at the Noceda residence.

Luz: I am glad we don’t wear lipstick often otherwise we would have kissing marks on our foreheads, cheeks, ears, necks, and lips.

Amity: Yeah and Luz thank you for this wonderful date.

Luz: No problem I had fun and I am happy you did too.

Amity: You know I love the Spanish language and do you know why?

Luz: No why exactly?

Amity: Besides being your second language I love all the terms of endearments. I can call you things like my treasure, my sky, my sunshine, my love, my life, my heart, and my soul.

Luz: You mean mi tesoro, mi cielo, mi sol, mi amor, mi vida, mi corazon, and mi alma(my treasure, my sky, my sunshine, my love, my life, my heart, and my soul).

Amity: Yes because you mean all those things to me and so much more.

Luz: You mean all that and much more to me too.

They then kissed and then they brought home leftovers for Camila, Vee, Stringbean, and Ghost.

While both of them have learned languages from each other’s realms they are naturally adept in the one concept that transcends all languages and dimensions, and that concept is love.

Chapter Text

Soon it will be Valentine’s Day and it will be Luz and Amity’s first since Luz moved to the demon realm for college. They have some romantic plans at midnight. However in the mean time both of them are working on different things. Luz is working on a class assignment in her room at the dorms and Amity is working on a new invention in her room at Blight manor.

Luz: Alright it should be any second now.

Luz was waiting for one half of her curse 101 assignment to be over. Specifically it is a curse that makes things sticky and Luz is waiting for the pencil she tested it on to be unstuck from her hand. The pen then fell off.

Luz: Alright that should mean the slippery curse on that pencil should be over as well.

It was and she was able to grab the pencil once more.

Luz: Alright now it is about time to go to Amity. Are you ready Stringbean?

Stringbean: Hiss(Yup I want to see what Amity has planned for you).

Luz: I can’t wait either.

Stringbean changed into her staff form and Luz used her to teleport to their Grom tree to begin their Valentine’s Day date.

Meanwhile Amity is working on a new kind of fan. It was in a box like frame about the size of a backpack with wheels. However it was more than just a device that blows room temperature air.

Amity: Alright now time to test how it handles going through multiple settings.

Amity rapidly switch between the low, medium and high settings using the switch that was on the side of this new kind of fan.

Amity: Alright it handles the transition well with no sign of damage or stalling. Now on to the temperature control.

Amity put the fan on low and she used the buttons on the front of the fan. When she pressed one it was slightly cool, the next button made it extremely cold, and the third one made the air warm.

Amity: I really have to thank Luz for engraving those glyphs on these disks.

The temperature changing system was glyph based with a snow, ice, and fire glyph so the fan can push out air that was affected by these temperature changes. One press of a button activates the corresponding glyph. Each glyph is separated by the others and is shielded by a wall of abomination goo so there are no incidents like turning the fan on with the fire glyph into a flamethrower. There is also a fourth button to simply allow room temperature air to be utilized instead of air that was affected by the glyphs.

Amity: Alright now time to get a bit dangerous.

Amity started to alternate through the different temperature settings in rapid succession and within seconds she could feel the difference. The temperatures did not blend in together due to a system she made that would completely block the glyphs from the air of the fan so multiple cannot affect the temperature at once.

Amity: The change is quick enough without somebody needing to repeatedly press the buttons but now it is time to test what happens if somebody does that.

Amity did and despite pressing each button multiple times the temperature did not deviate from their default settings. This was due to a built in sensor she made that would limit the amount of temperature changes the glyphs would use. So nothing like extreme flames, icicles piercing the fan, or filling it with snow would happen.

Amity: Now for the ultimate test.

Amity rapidly pressed the buttons and switched between speeds as fast as she could. Despite this the fan was working as well as it was at the beginning without any problems.

Amity: Done now I really have to thank Luz for this one. Ghost you are ready?

Ghost: Meow(Luz is going to love what you have planned).

Ghost turned into her staff form and Amity used abomination goo to teleport herself and Ghost to the Grom tree.

Luz and Amity saw each other and they both immediately ran towards each other for a hug as their palismans resumed their animal forms and hug each other as well.

Luz: It is pass midnight.

Amity: Yes it is.

Lumity: Happy Valentine’s Day my amor(love).

They then kissed.

Amity: Luz thank you for those engraved glyphs the fan worked wonderfully.

Luz: I am sure they only worked well since you knew the best way to use them.

Amity was blushing from that.

Amity: You have your phone with you right?

Luz: Are you in the mood to dance the bachata?

Amity: Yes.

Luz turned on her phone and put it on the highest volume setting, she then asked Stringbean and Ghost to keep an eye on it. Luz put her arms around Amity.

Luz: Ready?

They have danced the bachata in front of their tree before but Amity has something special in mind.

Amity: I just need to do one adjustment.

Amity placed Luz’s hands on her hips, Luz was surprised but she wasn’t complaining. This time their bachata dance was extra special. Luz marveled at having her hands on Amity’s hips as she did a hip check just as much as Amity did when Luz grabbed her hips and spun her around. They both got lost in this moment while dancing. Ghost and Stringbean had to replay the song a few times simply because Luz and Amity could not stop dancing. However Amity has plans for Luz so the dancing did eventually stopped.

Amity: I have a few surprises for you.

Luz: I can’t wait.

Amity made some spell circles and she summoned some heart shaped abomination balloons and each one had a golden eye that was in a heart shaped eye socket.

Luz: This is really romantic.

Amity: You have seen nothing yet batata.

Amity made a spell circle and she summoned something different. It looked like a lava lamp with a pink flame and floating abomination goo in it. Although the lava lamp was transparent it was surrounded by a casing of abomination goo that had cutouts of crescent moons, hearts, and stars. And this casing began to spin as this lava lamp started to float up due to having an abomination balloon on it. It was basically an abomination lava lamp disco ball.

Luz with amazement in her voice: Wow you really made something great. I am sure these would be popular at parties.

Amity with a seductive tone in her voice: Yeah they could, though this one with the custom cutouts and my pink flames are only for you, my precious Luz.

Luz started to blush.

Luz: Wow you really went all out.

Amity: Luz I haven’t started.

Amity made a bench from abomination goo and she sat on it and asked Luz to sit next to her. Next Amity summoned an electronic keyboard which is actually not recently adapted from the human realm as they existed here before Luz first arrived. Amity started to play and the balloons she made along with the lava lamp disco ball were all gently swaying as she played.

Luz while smiling: You are using bard magic?!

Amity: I know while we both know abomination and fire magic are my two favorites kinds of magic and though I have learned from other tracks so I can help or protect you and bard magic wouldn’t fit due to the fact I would need an instrument on hand although I can summon it. However it would still limit my combat abilities due to the specific instrument I chose but how can I possibly resist using magic to make a romantic gesture for you. So I have been getting lessons from Raine since Lilith recommended them to be my tutor.

Luz was blushing again.

Luz: I should have known you would pick something smart, cool, and classy as your instrument. That is so completely you.

Amity was bright red in the face like a tomato on a sunny day due to Luz’s compliment.

Amity: Thank you Luz but what good is music without a song, especially an original song I made just for you.

Now Luz was the one blushing due to this romantic gesture.

Amity summoned a stand to hold the papers with the song she wrote on them so she can read it while playing fortunately Luz would be too distracted by the dancing balloons and Amity’s beauty.

(For some extra clarification the parts with the musical notes are all sung by Amity)

(This is the end of Amity’s ballad for Luz).

Luz was sniffling a bit.

Luz: That was so beautiful just like the girl who made it.

Amity was as red as a tomato again.

Amity: Well it was made for a beautiful person.

Now Luz was the one whose face was bright red from blushing. As Amity was looking at all the balloons she made Luz wanted to kiss her on the cheek. Amity turned around at the moment Luz did that and they ended up kissing on the lips. They both open their eyes and stared into each other’s eyes as neither of them expected it. However neither of them pulled away. There was not a single reason this kiss had to stop. They wrapped their arms around each other and continued. Eventually it was time for them to go to bed. Amity sent back the balloons, the bench, the stand, her song, and the keyboard back to Blight manor. Luz used Stringbean to teleport herself along with Amity and Ghost to her dorm room. Amity teleported some clothing for her to change into so they can spend the night together. But first they needed some tissues for Stringbean and Ghost who got teary eyed from Amity’s song. After changing they were ready to fall asleep.

Luz: That song really was beautiful Amity though every single thing you make is beautiful. I guess you can really tell a person’s traits by their work.

Amity was embarrassed and she nuzzled her face against Luz’s chest.

Luz: I hope I can return the favor before Valentines’s day is over.

Amity was listening to Luz’s heartbeat.

Amity: I say you are already playing the loveliest music ever.

Luz kissed Amity on the forehead and they fell asleep.

They both slept well due to the beautiful surprises Amity made for Luz.

Chapter Text

It is Valentine’s Day and it is the morning after Amity sang a ballad for Luz. They are both looking forward to this day. Luz woke up with a yawn.

Luz: Morning Ams, Amity?

Amity was still asleep and clinging onto Luz, while listening to her heart.

Luz whispering: Awe, she is so cute.

Luz started to caress Amity’s ear. Amity started to hum like she was purring. This made Luz’s heart beat with joy which made Amity give a cute kitten smile.

Luz whispering: You are too cute hermosa(beautiful).

Amity then began to woke up.

Luz: Morning Amity.

Luz kissed her on the nose and that fully woke Amity up.

Amity: Morning Luz.

Amity kissed Luz on the cheek making Luz blush. As Amity was rubbing her eyes she smiled as she noticed she smelled like Luz. Luz noticed she smelled like Amity when she was scratching her head, this caused her to smile.

Lumity’s inner thoughts: I am happy I smell like her but I hope she doesn’t notice.

Amity saw something hanging near Luz’s desk.

Amity: What is that rope with knots of fur, bones, and feathers?

Luz: That is a witch’s ladder, it is a project for my alchemy class.

Amity: So what does it do?

Luz: There are many kinds and that specific kind is the one that you leave intact for protection.

Amity: What does it protect you from?

Luz: I use it for protection from loud noises. I don’t want to be surprised or distracted when I am working on something like abomination engineering, alchemy projects, Theumaturgy, glyphs, or especially curses. Me not getting distracted is already an uphill battle when things are quiet around me so I wanted to be cautious.

Amity: That is a pretty good use for one, you have really though this out well. You are really clever.

Luz: Thanks this means a lot coming from somebody as organized and smart as you.

Both Luz and Amity were blushing from the compliments they gave each other.

Amity: Want me to make you breakfast?

Luz: Sure but do you want to change first?

Amity: No, that is ok we will be fine.

Lumity’s inner thoughts: Yes I can still smell like her for a little while longer.

Amity teleported the four of them palismans included to the kitchen in Blight Manor. The twins are out and Alador is sleeping in.

Amity: So shushroom griffin egg omelettes with a side of toast and jelly on top?

Luz: That sounds great I will get us some crab apple juice.

As they were happy to work together to make breakfast a crow phone flew in. Amity answered.

Amity: Blight residence this is Amity Blight talking.

Hunter: It is me Hunter, I have a big favor to ask Luz.

Amity: How do you know she is with me?

Hunter: It is Valentine’s Day, there is no way you two would not spend the entire day together. Now I want to talk to Luz I need to ask an important favor and I will owe both of you.

Amity: Alright, Luz Hunter is calling.

Luz grabbed the crow phone.

Luz: Hey Hunter how is it going? Do you have any romantic plans with Willow?

Hunter: That is the problem.

Luz with concern in her voice: Are you two ok?

Hunter: Yes I made her something but I can’t find the right kind of paint I want to use and I can’t find it in Bonesborough I checked even all the places that sell paint that you recommended and nothing.

Luz: Well I can buy it for you in the human realm but wouldn’t Willow wonder why I am bringing you paint?

Hunter: Willow is busy setting up a surprise one of her dads has asked her to do for her other dad. She will be busy for a while.

Luz: Would bringing it to you past lunch be ok?

Hunter: That is perfect.

Luz: So what color and size?

Hunter: The same shade of blue Stringbean’s egg was, and a small bucket should be more than enough.

Luz: No problem buddy, you will get it later.

Hunter: Thanks I will be where I carve palismans and I owe you both big time for this, now byeeeeeee.

Hunter then hanged up.

Amity: So what did he want?

Luz: He made Willow a gift but he can’t find the paint color he wants to use.

Amity: Well it is a good thing we were planning to go shopping in the human realm.

Luz: Now we should eat, I am starving.

They four of them enjoyed their breakfast together.

After they both used different methods to teleport to their rooms they changed and they will soon meet up at the portal door. Amity arrived there first and after putting on her concealment stone bracelet Luz gave her Amity teleported Luz from her room to the portal. They didn’t saw anybody since Raine and Eda were at work and King was spending the day with Lilith and Hooty.

Luz: Ready for our date?

Amity: Yes I am.

They kissed and walked through the portal. They soon walked to the Noceda house. They went in and they saw Camilla.

Luz: Happy Valentine’s Day mama.

Camila: Gracias(thank you) Luz, and you too.

Amity: Happy Valentine’s Day Camilla.

Camila: Thanks Amity.

Luz: Mama can I talk with you for a bit.

Camila: Sure thing.

As Luz and Camila walked to the kitchen Vee was signaling Amity.

Amity: Hi Vee do you need something?

Vee: Masha is going to pick me up but I have something I am worried about.

Amity: I would be glad to help.

Vee: I do not want to run out of magic during my day with Masha so can you help a basilisk out?

Vee was giving Amity puppy basilisk eyes.

Amity: Sure thing, and you know I would have helped without the eyes.

Vee: Yeah, though Luz is able to do that trick better anyways.

Amity chuckled a bit.

Amity: Luz doesn’t need that trick to get the same result.

Amity made a giant spell circle and made an enormous light orb. Vee happily ate it.

Vee: Thanks I owe you one.

Luz then walked back into the room.

Luz: Hola hermana(hi sister).

Vee: Hola hermana(hi sister).

Luz: Well I am off for my shopping date, you don’t need the car do you?

Vee: Masha is picking me up.

Luz: Alright then I will be going see yeah, and enjoy your date.

Amity: Bye Vee.

Vee: Bye you two and I hope two you have a good Valentine’s Day.

Luz and Amity got into the car and Luz drove to the art supplies store. After parking they both walked in.

Amity: So any specifics about the paint?

Luz: Blue like Stringbean’s egg and a small bucket of it.

Amity: Alright now we should go and find it.

Luz started to notice the things in the store.

Luz: Wow look at those neat gel pens, oh and those colored pencils seem nice so many shades of purple, and there are some cute animal themed erasers.

Amity: Hey Luz, we should get the paint can first.

Luz: Yes you are right. Sorry I got distracted.

Amity chucked.

Amity: That is alright batata.

Amity always did love Luz’s ability to see the wonder in so many things, even though Luz thinks she just has troubles focusing. After looking around they found it.

Luz: Well that was easy, now we should look around for things we need.

Amity: Yeah I would like to buy some glue.

Luz: I need more pen ink.

They were soon able to get what they wanted but they decided to look around for fun too. As they were looking at an aisle they stopped after noticing some things that they originally didn’t plan for but that doesn’t mean they can’t get them.

Luz: They are having a sale on notepads, do you think I should get some even though I have enough?

Amity: It is always good to have extra paper for glyphs.

Luz: Well that solves my problem.

After Luz got the notepads she saw Amity was staring at some tubes of paint.

Luz: Did you find something you like sweet potato?

Amity: I am deciding between these two kinds of purple paint that I want to use but neither is the exact shade I want so I am trying to see which one is closer to the one I want.

Amity spent like six minute staring at those tubes of paint. Luz was looking around but she was staying close to Amity. Luz and Amity talked about some of the things they saw around the store even though Amity’s gaze never left the tubes of paint. Luz then noticed a tube of paint and she grabbed it.

Luz: Is this the one?

Amity in shock: It is, where did you find it?!

Luz: It was up here.

Amity: But I looked there earlier, how did I miss it?

Luz: Somebody put the wrong paint tub back on here so maybe you missed it at first glance.

Amity: Thanks Luz, and sorry I got tunnel vision.

While Amity calls it tunnel vision Luz just thinks of it as Amity being amazingly focused.

Luz: It is ok Amity, I am just happy to help. And it is better than funnel vision when it gets stuck on your head it can be annoying.

Amity chuckling: Oh my titan did that happen?

Luz: King tried to use a funnel like a telescope, and Hooty scared him so the funnel got stuck to his head. I tried to get Eda to help but King’s rage squeal was making her fall apart from laughter. Though I got admit it was cute.

Amity started laughing as she couldn’t help imaging that cute scenario, fortunately Luz didn’t held it against her as to Luz the funnel incident reminds her of when a box gets stuck to a cat’s head it was an adorable moment. Luz bought what they wanted to get and then they went to eat lunch. They went to this Chinese restaurant and they ate spring rolls, dumplings, and wontons together. The places with Valentine’s Day specials were crowded but Luz and Amity were fine with eating anywhere together since they found each other so cute while eating. Later they drove back to the Noceda House. They soon opened the portal door and stepped through it. Amity used abomination goo to teleport the paint bucket to Hunter. Amity then summoned Ghost and Stringbean. Normally a witch can only summon her own palisman but due to Luz and Amity’s bond and obviously Stringbean’s trust in Amity, Amity can summon Stringbean as easily as she can with Ghost. However this trick only works if both palismans and Amity are in the same realm, and obviously this means Luz can only get Stringbean this way when Amity is with her. After this the four of them went to Luz’s dorm and they watched some movies together before getting ready for dinner. Luz walked Amity to the front of the university.

Luz: Alright so should we dress fancy or our usual clothes?

Amity: How about usual clothes with a subtle sprucing up?

Luz: Actually how about we dress up since it is Valentine’s Day.

Amity: Alright. I will see you in a bit.

Amity flew back to Blight manor and Luz got ready for what she has planned. On the way back to the university Luz saw Eda flying with Raine for their date. As Luz was walking up the stairs she ran into Gus.

Luz: Hey Gus.

Gus: Thank titan I need your opinion on something.

Luz: Sure thing.

Gus: Which tie looks better for my date with Cat the one with mirrors or the one that has sparks and smoke?

Luz: I would go for the sparks and smoke one.

Gus: I am glad to get your help I am nervous about this date.

Luz: Why?

Gus: Well it is a triple date with Skara and Viney along with Boscha and Amelia.

Luz: Sounds like quite the party.

Gus: Once again thanks Luz I owe you.

Gus then ran off.

Luz: Huh, I am having a lot of people owing me today.

As Luz was going back to her room she bumped into Edric.

Edric: Sorry Luz I am in a rush, I had to go get the potion I brewed for Eileen that I left under my desk.

Luz: Wouldn't you have grabbed it earlier when the classes were over?

Edric: I had to make something for Emira for her date with Mary. As soon as I was finished Emira flew off on her moth Palisman Silk and he flew away with her as quickly as he could.

Luz: You should get going too.

Edric: I should my butterfly palisman Scales is waiting for me and I shouldn’t keep her waiting.

Edric ran downstairs barely avoiding tripping down the stairs.

Luz: I am glad Catus, Skiney, Bosclia, Edleen, and Emary will enjoy Valentine’s Day today, I am happy I told the isles about it years ago.

Stringbean nudge Luz.

Luz: You are right! I can’t keep my cotton candy haired goddess waiting!

Luz ran back to her dorm room. After a while Luz and Amity reunited in front of the university and they have their palismans with them. Luz was wearing a tux with a purple shirt, a light purple bow tie with a heart on it, a purple box pleat skirt, and dress shoes. She had her hair slicked back. On her purple shirt there are two rows of gold colored hearts that were stitched on. Amity is wearing a light purple wrap dress, with an abomination bow in her hair, and she has dark purple evening gloves that match her spool heel boots. Her hair is down. Amity has rows of pink hearts stitched onto her skirt

Amity: You look amazing.

Luz: And you look beautiful as always.

They both blushed.

Amity: Did you stitched those gold hearts on?

Luz: Yup I thought it would add some color, and did you modify your skirt with those pink hearts?

Amity: I did although I used abomination magic to stitch them on as I am nowhere near as good as you when it comes to sewing.

Luz: Your stitching looks pretty great to me whether by hand or by magic.

This brought a smile to Amity’s face which made Luz smile even more.

Amity: Thank You. Now do we fly to this restaurant you mentioned?

Luz: Actually our ride should be here soon.

A carriage teleported in.

Amity: You got us a carriage!

Luz: Nothing but the best for you Amity.

Amity: Wait where is the steed or driver?

Luz: I got at a discount if I didn’t hire them from the company, the carriage will teleport back to the company later on its own.

Amity: But how should we move it, it would take a while using abominations.

Luz: I already have that covered.

Luz used her crystal ball charm bracelet and she summoned an oracle apparition.

Luz: Before I forget how is the sky tonight?

Oracle apparition: Crystal clear.

Luz: Thanks and can you drive the carriage?

The Oracle apparition bowed and it possessed the carriage.

Luz: After you my dear.

Luz summoned an energy limb from her charm bracelet and opened the door for Amity, Amity giggled

Amity: My what a gentleman.

Luz in a suave voice: It is my pleasure madam.

They both started laughing. The Oracle apparition drove the carriage to the restaurant. Apparitions are really great drivers. Both Luz and Amity went in and they were led to a table by the waitress who would be serving them. She is a witch who had sparrow like feet, and she told them palismans are fine at the table.

Waitress: Here are the menus and please call if you need anything.

The waitress then left.

Luz: I already have a good idea of what I want to get, do you want the same thing or you want to pick something out yourself?

Amity: I picked breakfast, we both picked different variants of what we wanted for lunch, so you can pick dinner.

Luz: Alright then I am ready.

The waitress saw Luz signaling her.

Waitress: Are you two ready to order?

Luz: I will be ordering for the both of us.

Waitress: Very well what would you like?

Luz: We will have three orders of garlic bread, stuffed batterpillars, and golden back boar demon pork chops with apple blood sauce.

Waitress: Great choices, now what do you want for desert?

Luz: Some slices of dairy free mixed berry pie please.

Waitress: Now what are you choosing for your drinks?

Luz: We will have the double apple blends.

Waitress: Coming up.

She left to get their orders.

Amity: What are the double apple blends?

Luz: Apple blood and crab apple juice.

Amity: Oh, and the golden back boar meat sure is expensive.

Luz: Don’t worry I have it covered, that is why got the carriage discount. Plus they are hard to get.

Golden back boar demons are the size of a horse, have sharp golden bristles that glow and gold skin on their backs, red and black eyes, they can walk on water, crush any obstacle, and they can shoot blast of air out of their noses that can damage plants.

Amity: I would like to help pay.

Luz: It is fine Amity, I can afford it.

Amity felt like Luz was spending too much even though she believes Luz can afford it, still Amity wanted to contribute to this meal somehow so she had a different idea that will make them both happy.

Amity: Well I think I may order some to go then so we can enjoy them another time.

Luz: That sounds like a good idea.

As they were waiting and they heard the smashing of a broken glass cup. Luz quickly moved to cover Amity’s ears. Luz stopped covering them after making sure there won’t be any other sudden loud noises.

Amity: Thanks and sorry that I can be a bit sensitive to sudden sounds and other things like the cold.

Luz: I don’t mind at all, I am just happy to be there for you. Plus you can be a bit sensitive to the environment and I am physically fragile compared to witches so I say we cover for each other.

Amity: That is true.

Luz now had a mischievous smirk.

Luz: I don’t mind if you are skittish like a cat, or should I say skitty like a kitty?

Luz made a dopey grin and raised her eyebrow like during their last Grom photo. Amity tried to hold it in but she could stop from laughing due to Luz’s dorky wordplay, not to mention her adorable face. Fortunately nobody noticed as they were still wondering about the story with the broken glass. The waitress arrived with the stuffed batterpillars, garlic bread, and the double apple blends.

Waitress: Here you go the appetizer and drinks. The main course will be a while longer.

Luz and Amity replied with a thank you. They both tried their appetizer and drinks.

Amity: This double apple blend is good, I never thought of two apple based drinks together.

Luz: Yeah it is refreshing, the batterpillars are good too.

Amity: The herbs stuffed in them goes well with the batterpilalr’s natural sourness. They kind of remind me of something.

Luz: Like a taquito or a spring roll stuffed with a burrito?

Amity: Thank you that is what I was thinking of.

They enjoyed their appetizers. Stringbean and Ghost liked them too. Stringbean swallowed one whole but since she was a snake she was ok. The waitress then arrived and left the plates of golden back boar demon pork chops with apple blood sauce on the side.

Luz: These are huge!

Amity: I am glad you are getting your money’s worth.

Lumity while smiling: Now let’s dig in!

They looked at each other and giggled as they were thinking the same thing. They then tried the golden back boar demon pork chops. It was like the pork equivalent of Kobe beef. It was too good to be believed, and the meat of the beast demon is naturally spicy which made it even better. The apple blood sauce looked like fresh blood. However it had a gentle sweetness that went well with the spicy golden back boar demon meat.

Amity: Luz I have to say apple blood sauce and pork is a weird combo but I am glad it is on the menu.

Luz: Actually the apple blood sauce is a optional condiment meant for desserts but I got it for the pork chops.

Amity: How did you thought of this combo?

Luz: It is a dish in America though my mom and I only tried it like twice but I thought it would be good to eat here in the demon realm when I saw these two on the menu.

Amity: Once more you spontaneously bring joy into my life.

Luz while blushing:Oh you are exaggerating.

Amity: No, I am just speaking the truth about the girl who makes me so happy.

Now Amity and Luz were both blushing. They both took the time to enjoy their meal together. And soon they had their dessert.

Amity: So what berries are in this mixed berry pie?

Luz: Rath berry, abomi berry, and sweetened Goreberry.

Amity: That explains the lovely purple color.

Luz: Also sorry this was suppose to come with ice cream and whip cream but I can’t eat that.

Amity: Luz you have nothing to apologize for, I am eating a sweet dessert with the sweetest person ever.

Luz was blushing as was Amity. They both enjoyed their dessert together even though its sweetness couldn’t compare to the sweetness of their love for each other.

Waitress: Here is the bill.

Amity: Can I order some more to take with us?

Waitress: The exact same things minus the drinks?

Amity: In separate containers please.

Waitress: I will tell the chefs.

She did and fortunately she came back quickly with their food read.

Waitress: Here it is.

Luz: That was quick.

Waitress: Actually the manager and the chefs wanted to know if they can take a photo with the savior of the isles and the savior of its people so they made it and it is a bit of a bribe.

While Luz is known as the savior of the isles Amity has been called the savior of its people since she was able to free herself from the puppet spell and with the others they saved a lot of puppetfied people. Just like Luz Amity thinks the waitress and others like her are giving her too much credit but since she did something an entire civilization couldn’t have done in order to help save them they give her the respect she deserves like Luz.

Luz: I was just nice to my little brother.

Amity: And I was thinking of my girlfriend.

Lumity: So you do not have to call us saviors.

Waitress: So what do I call you?

Luz and Amity looked at each other and they knew what to say.

Lumity: Just call us Lumity.

They took a photo with the staff and they also took a photo that the waitress added to her Penstragram. Luz and Amity befriend her on it where she is known as Sparrow Talons. After that Luz and Amity left after having a wonderful time.

Amity: So where to next?

Luz with a noble accent: I have an idea, if you join me on this carriage ride my lady.

Amity giggled a bit.

Amity with a snooty accent: Yes I will accompany you.

Both Luz and Amity started laughing as they went into the carriage.

Luz: Oh by the way I hope this wasn’t too much of a problem getting you two to go with us since this is a romantic day for you too Stringbean and Ghost.

With how their owners are it is not that surprising Ghost and Stringbean are a couple. It is one of the reasons they never get bored when they are waiting for Luz and Amity.

Stringbean: Hiss(We had a blast).

Ghost:Meow(Yes that wonderful dinner it went well with our romantic lunch earlier).

Amity: So what did you two do while Luz and I went to a Chinese restaurant?

Stringbean: Hiss(Ghost gave as a gift for our lunch a big pile of spiders).

Ghost:Meow(And this romantic found this big centipede that we shared like spaghetti).

Stringbeast and Ghost nuzzled each other’s faces. Luz and Amity were gushing about their cuteness. If Ghostbean were Lumity’s strongest shippers Lumity are the strongest shippers for Ghostbean.

Luz: I have something for you.

Luz used a plant glyph and made Amity some flowers. Specifically the same kind she made just before their first kiss.

Amity: Oh wow, and here you go.

Amity made some flowers for Luz out of abomination goo. To be precise they are the ones Luz made when she was upset she couldn’t be with her mom and she talked to Amity about it under the tree. Luz’s eyes started to tear up and she kissed Amity.

Amity: Want me to teleport the flowers to our rooms?

Luz nodded yes and Amity did so. The carriage stopped.

Luz: We are here.

They departed the carriage, the oracle apparition told Luz the carriage will teleport back to the owner soon. Luz left the other half of the rental fee in the carriage before it teleported away.

Luz: It was a half now half later sort of payment.

Amity: I understand.

Luz: And I don’t need to explain why we are here.

Amity saw their Grom tree.

Amity: You were right no explanation is needed.

Luz: Now you gave me a cool light show last night so I thought I will show you one.

Luz used her Oracle magic to turn into a shadow, however things were different. This time Luz’s shadow form had many yellow lights everywhere she looked like the clear night sky.

Amity: You really do look like that incorrect translation of you name night light.

Even in this form Amity can tell Luz was blushing.

Luz: Thanks although this is just copying your abomination form since it has so many extra eyes, and I have practiced with that like when I give my self snake hair, so I thought of this to make this shadow form brighter.

Amity: Even when you are all shadowy you are still the brightest light my Luz.

Amity kissed Luz on her shadow form’s lips.

Luz: Thank you so much but this isn’t the surprise.

Luz outstretched her arms and used the grey shadows of her shadow form to make connected light glyphs that spelled out “I love” on her right arm and “Amity” on her left arm. Luz then saw that Amity was in her abomination form.

Luz: Why did you changed?

Amity: I wanted more eyes to see you with.

Even in her abomination form Amity couldn’t hide her blushing.

Luz: That is sweet.

Amity: You make me feel like I have hearts in my eyes, or maybe around them.

Soon pink heart shaped flames were surrounding Amity’s eyes.

Luz: That is so cool and I love it.

Amity: Gracias mi bonita novia(thank you my pretty girlfriend).

Luz was stunned hearing Amity say that to her.

Luz: Thank you so much for the compliment but this isn’t the light show.

Amity: It isn’t?

Luz: No, this is.

Luz made more light glyphs in her shadow form on the palms of her hands. Luz then activated them sending beams of light into the sky, as Amity was mesmerized by this Luz made some more connected light glyphs on her chest. This time when she activated them they made a flashing sign that said “I ❤️ U” switching between each letter or symbol. Amity was simply awestruck.

Luz: I tried to make it flash like a heartbeat which is kind of hard to do since I wanted to try and synch it with mine but I don’t have a heart in this form.

Amity: It was amazing.

Luz: Well you gave me an awesome light show with your magic and abomination engineering so I hope I gave you one with the magic I use along with glyphs.

Amity in her abomination form kissed Luz in her shadow form on the lips. They the started dancing in their alternate forms. There was no music but they didn’t need it they only need each other. Their dance soon ended when they resumed their normal forms and repeated their first dance at Grom together.

Luz: We still got it.

Amity: I am surprised you can still catch me like that.

Luz: Of course I can this body was made for you, darn it maybe I should have said that in my shadow light form.

Amity: First off that is a cool name for that form of yours and second don’t forget this body is made for you too.

Luz was blushing as was Amity realizing what she said.

Lumity: Do you want to have a snack break, yes I was thinking the same thing.

Luz used Stringbean to summon a new container of dairy free pocky sticks and Amity summoned a bag of chocolate covered spider legs.

Luz: Pocky game?

Amity: Pocky game.

Luz and Amity played the Pocky game, though neither of them stopped until they kissed. It would take a while doing this with both the Pocky sticks and the chocolate covered spider legs but it went a bit quicker since they shared their snacks with Ghostbean who were also playing the Pocky game. After they were done Luz had one more surprise for Valentine’s Day.

Luz: Hey Amity can you make a bench for us?

Amity did make one without even asking why.

Luz: I know you know I can use bard magic but you have never seen what I can play.

Luz used Stringbean to summon a guitar case.

Amity: You play the guitar.

Luz: I do.

Luz gave some papers with light and plant glyphs to Ghost and asked her to spread them around.

Luz: This isn’t just any guitar. It belonged to my dad. I asked Stringbean to get it while we were at my mom’s house. I always wanted to do a romantic bard show for you but I couldn’t without glyphs but they recently came back so now I can. You know my dad used to play it to my mom to express his love for her and he also played it to make my mom and I happy. I hope I can serenade you with it so I can express my love for you and make you happy.

Luz hasn’t even played yet Amity was already crying from being emotional. Luz kissed her on the forehead. Luz had Stringbean become an octopus and she wrapped her tentacles around Luz’s fingers and Luz started to play her dad’s guitar. As Luz started to play the glyphs activated and with bard magic she made the light orbs and flowers dance in the air.

(For some clarification the parts with the musical notes are all sung by Luz)

Amity started to cry happy tears from being emotionally overwhelmed, and thus their Valentine’s Day came to an end.

After that Luz used Stringbean to teleport her dad’s guitar to her room and then she teleported Amity and Ghost to their room and Luz teleported herself and Stringbean to their dorm room. After Lumity changed into their pajamas Amity and Ghost arrived via abomination magic. Soon Lumity was cuddling in Luz’s bed as Ghostbean did the same in Stringbean’s bed. Luz had her head against Amity’s chest.

Amity: That song you made was beautiful as was your guitar playing.

Luz: I am glad you liked it.

Amity: I loved it now I am unsure about the song I played for you.

Luz was listening to Amity’s heartbeat.

Luz: It is fine after all I am hearing the most beautiful sound ever right now.

Luz can hear that this made Amity happy, and they drifted into slumber together while embracing each other.

Although Valentine’s Day is over this will not leave any kind of an impact about how love filled their days are since they have each other.

Chapter Text

It has been two weeks since the Isles were saved. It is the weekend ans Luz has been looking forward to it as Amity will be at her house for a sleepover. Gwen called Eda to ask her if she can find a friend’s lost spider demon who has been roaming around since the day of unity but people have been seeing it around. Luz is going to help Eda and King and Amity are tagging along. They are all dressed in their cold weather attire as the spider demon was last sighted around the snowy rib cage. They flew there Eda lend King Owlbert so hopefully he will get over his motion sickness and she was using her harpy wings to fly. Lumity were on their palismans.

Luz: So then Stringbean bit her own tail and was rolling around like a hoop it was so cute.

Eda: Really I would expected more mischief from a shapeshifter.

Luz: She is a snakeshifter.

King: Either way she still shifts.

Luz: As far as I can tell most snake shapeshifters are no trouble makers like Vee, right Amity? Amity?

Amity was gently smiling at Luz but she also seemed like she was not listening.

Amity: Sorry, she is right Vee is a mild manner basilisk.

Luz: You ok?

Amity: I have a lot on my mind, I haven’t been sleeping too well.

Luz: I can understand me neither.

Eda: We are here.

King: I am glad we got here before I got sick.

Eda: Alright spider demons used for milk tend to like the ground more than crawling high so she wouldn’t be in the trees.

Amity: Does she have any distinctive features?

Eda: She has green eyes, a brown carapace, and she is wearing a pink bow with red spots.

King: Well it is a good thing she is big.

Luz: Yeah but I remember from beast keeping class they tend to be fast.

Eda: We are just here to see her not to capture here, my mom is going to do that.

The four of them decided to look for her together as they didn’t want to separate.

Luz: I think I saw something in a bush.

Eda: Be careful kid.

Amity had her staff ready and King was trying to smell it. Suddenly a fairy popped out of the bush.

Fairy: Give me your…

The fairy didn’t finished talking as Amity used her abomination gauntlet to punch her before shooting the gauntlet at her.

Amity: Threaten her again and I will eat you alive in a pie!

The fairy would fly away if she wasn’t stuck.

King: That was a bit intense.

Amity: I am just protecting Luz.

Luz: Amity are you hungry or craving something sweet?

Amity: No, I am good.

Eda: Now I am hoping Ma is baking pie.

They continued to look again.

King: Wait I hear something.

This time Luz, Eda, and Amity had their staffs ready. A large bat demon was flying and was heading towards Luz. King was about to weh, but Amity quickly fired a stream of abomination goo trapping the bat demon before it could attack.

Amity: It is taken care of.

King sighs.

King: I am sure I will find something to weh soon.

Eda: Well at least it won’t get stuck in my hair.

Luz: Yeah I remember the time a skin badger got stuck in there and it was hard to get out. It was quite a hairy situation.

Amity laughed at Luz’s joke as King and Eda just sigh.

Luz: I wonder if Stringbean should help look.

Amity: I will get Ghost.

Eda: Owlbert mama needs help.

Their palismans animated and will help look around.

Eda: Wait I heard something up there.

Luz: But you said those spider demons don’t like to be high up.

Suddenly a web hit the ground near Luz.

King: It looks like a spider demon to me.

They looked up and they saw a spider crab demon like the one that caught Lilith earlier that year. King was ready to weh and Eda entered her harpy mode. Before the spider crab demon could do anything a pink fireball hit its web. The spider crab demon came crashing down. Amity then made a small spell circle and she made an abomination bigger than the one during her duel. She had the abomination grab the spider crab demon and it spun around and tossed it far away.

Amity: You ok Luz?

Luz hugged Amity.

Luz: You are so cool.

Amity hugged her back. Eda and King cancelled their attacks.

King: Wait I hear skittering.

Amity: Is it another spider crab demon?

Amity made a blade of abomination goo just in case.

Eda: We should see what it is first,

Luz whispering: I see the spider demon.

The four of them and the three palismans saw it was the spider demon they were looking for.

Eda: Well I will call Ma now to tell her we found.

Eda called her mom and after a while Eda put her crow phone back in her hair.

Eda: Ok she wants to meet up at the Owl House, so we should fly back.

Eda flew in harpy mode and the palismans resumed their staff forms so Luz, Amity, and King could ride them. Soon they saw Gwen in front of the Owl House.

Gwen: Hello I brought a bag of cookies.

Luz: We have found the spider demon.

Stringbean shapeshifted into the spider demon and crawled on Luz’s arm.

Gwen: You really should show Dell your cute little palisman he would be thrilled to see what she is capable of.

As Luz and Gwen talked about Stringbean Eda and King wanted to talk to Amity.

Eda: Hey boots can we talk a bit.

Amity could guess what it is about.

Amity: Can we talk at the snowy rib cage.

It was a bit far but Eda knew Gwen and Luz well enough that they will be talking for a while. She agreed and the two witches flew on their palismans as King clung to Eda. They then landed in a spot away from where they saw the spider demon.

Amity: So what do you want to talk about?

Eda: You seemed awfully tensed boots.

King: Yeah like stab first kind of tense.

Amity: I am just being there for Luz.

Eda: Well she can rely on us too.

King: We will protect her.

Amity: I can’t let anything happen to her again.

This made Eda and King realize something.

Eda sounding upset: Wait do you blame us for what happened?

King sounding mad: That isn’t fair!

Amity sounding enraged: I WISHED I COULD BLAME YOU!!!

Eda and King were a bit taken aback.

Amity: Thanks to Luz I am no longer that kind of horrible person who needlessly blame others. I know that dead jerk is responsible. And even though he is dead I am still furious at him and I can’t get any kind of a catharsis. Luz defeated him, you two and Raine crushed his skull, Lilith disfigured him, and Hunter was able to talkback to him. I guess I am just like one of the citizens he tricked and it wasn’t personal and that is why I couldn’t get any payback.

King: You definitely deserved payback.

Eda: After what the jerk put Luz through you have a right as much as anybody to want payback.

Amity sounding still upset but calmer: Still that is besides the point. I couldn’t be there for Luz when she needed it and I know I could have protected her.

King: We all wanted to do better.

Eda: Yeah we understand.

Amity sounding cold: Eda you know about abomination magic and it can protect from fire even magic fire right? And that could have saved Luz right?

Eda looked away and King was wondering why she didn’t say anything. The reason is Eda knows Amity is right she could have saved Luz.

Amity: One wrong decision Luz dies, being too slow Luz dies, one mistake Luz dies I have to do better I can’t let Luz die because I am a failure!

King: But you are not a failure.

Amity: Oh what so I try to protect her and the only difference next time is I would be there to watch her die because I can’t protect her!

Eda: Slow down kid.

Amity started to tear up as her face became red with rage.

Amity: But one thing out of many that makes it so much worse is under the Collector’s spell the others and I accused Luz of bad things and attacked her. While everybody else was out of character I was acting just like how I used to be! And if it wasn’t for the titan that WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST TIME WE WOULD HAVE EVER SEE EACH OTHER!

Amity’s eyes started glowing pink and all hell broke loose. Despite Amity at one point had a life full of emotional abuse, self esteem issues, and living to high standards she never had glowing eyes like some stressed out witches but what happened to Luz despite everything they went through was too much. That day Amity almost permanently lost the reason she can choose her own life, the reason she is still alive, the reason she has joy, hope, and love in her life. Amity would even go so far as call Luz her reason for living, yet she didn’t save her that day. Amity summoned a whole lot of abomination goo. There were tentacles made of abomination goo coming out of the ground that were actually much bigger than the former castle along with abomination goo arms that were only outclassed by the titan’s arms. Amity summoned all the abomination goo from Blight Industries and from the abomatons and prototype abomatrons. But this was not the only effect of her outburst as pools of abomination goo were becoming corrosive, and there was pink fire as well. Fortunately the fire didn’t spread due to the abomination goo.

King and Eda took off on Owlbert as Ghost stayed with Amity.

King: What is happening?!

Eda: When a witch gets really stress sometimes they can do incredible magic but I have never seen something like this.

King: It is like two week’s ago.

Eda: No, this is worse look.

That mold could only harm organic things so rocks and metal would survive but with Amity’s outburst those materials wouldn’t as abomination goo melted metal like a nearby broken sword and the pink flames were turning rocks into lava. In comparison Amity’s magic while smaller than that moldy jerk possessing the isles however what she can do with her’s was actually a worse threat in comparison.

King: This is crazy.

Eda: I have never seen so many different manifestations of this.

Usually when this happens the magic reflects the witch’s emotions in one way. Like a witch trying to figuratively hold things together may ensnare things around her or an angry witch’s magic would lash out at others. But Amity’s multiple effects were different. The abomination tentacles represented her desire to protect Luz, the abomination arms represented her desire to hold onto Luz, the pink flames represented her hatred against that moldy jerk, and the corrosive aspect represents her self loathing about failing Luz.

Eda: I don’t know how to handle this.

King: We go get Luz if anybody can help it is her.

Eda agreed and they went to get Luz.

Amity: Even with all this I know I can’t protect her.

Amity started to remember the conversation she had with Willow earlier.

(This part is a flashback)

Before Amity met up with Luz she went to help Willow reorganize somethings and maybe use fire and abomination magic to fix somethings. She did get permission from Willow’s dads for some problemed areas since neither of them can use fire magic to weld. Amity quickly helped Willow fix a few things

Willow: Thanks Amity.

Amity: No problem.

Willow hesitated to ask but she felt like she had to.

Willow: Amity have you been ok?

Amity: I have had trouble sleeping.

Willow: I can tell you have been thinking mostly of Luz lately in a different way than usual.

Amity: If you are saying I don’t care about what happened to Hunter or Flapjack that is untrue I cried for Flapjack just like you did.

Willow: Calm down I know that.

Amity: Sorry sleep troubles.

Willow: Do you want some tea?

Amity: No thanks.

Willow: I think I know why you are upset.

Amity: Is it that obvious?

Willow: I know how it is like when wishing you could have done more for the person you are dating.

Amity: I could have saved Luz with abomination magic since it is good against fire.

Willow: I understand how you feel if I have known things differently I could have used my plant magic to get rid of the moldy jerk to save Hunter and Flapjack. I have been going through the same things you have been going through.

Amity: No, you have not been going through the same things as I have.

Willow was taken aback by this.

Amity: Willow on that day I accused Luz of things she wasn’t responsible for, I attacked her, and like the first day we met when I was going to let her die I actually ended up letting her die! It was like that day was a repeat of everything wrong I have done to her. So I am sorry but unless at one point before Halloween you controlled Hunter with plant magic to hurt the ones he cares about you will never understand what I am going through.

Willow stood silently.

Amity: Sorry and I am glad you plants are doing better I think it may rain in four days so you should put them indoors during that.

Amity then left. Willow knew that if anybody can help her it would be Luz and she hopes she does it soon.

(End of flashback)

Ghost was trying to nuzzle Amity to calm her done. The abomination goo and fire stopped spreading but they weren’t going away. In the distance Amity saw a familiar purple light. Luz is flying fast on Stringbean. Amity calmed down and got rid of the flames and abomination goo. Luckily the abomination goo solidified the lave and cooled it. Luz landed near Amity. Eda and King were with Luz but they are keeping their distance to give them privacy and they couldn’t let Luz go alone otherwise Amity would be mad at them so that is why they flew with her.

Luz: Amity are you ok?

Amity: I am honestly not.

Luz: Want to talk about it?

Amity: I feel like I let you die, I could have protected you with my magic but I didn’t.

Luz: That wasn’t your fault it was that moldy jerk’s fault and nobody else’s.

Amity: I know but I still feel responsible and I know I will fail you again.

Luz was now wondering was this how she was like before they returned to the isles, blaming herself for what others have done, not feeling anything good can happen, and being so guilt ridden. After this Luz vowed to herself to not become like this ever again but first she must help Amity.

Luz: You are in no way responsible for that. And even if somehow you were I honestly would not be mad at you there are other things I would be concerned about like making you feel sad.

Amity knows despite what Luz has just went through she does prioritize things in a different way.

Amity: I am also so mad that I couldn’t do anything to that moldy jerk like the others did.

Luz was thinking on what is a way Amity could get catharsis in some way, then an idea popped up that she hopes would work.

Luz: Amity I know for a fact this all started with him being mad a human got with a witch so every time you feel like that remember our relationship is what he hated the most. I am not sure this helps give you some kind of catharsis.

Amity: Actually that helps a lot.

Luz: I am glad it does.

Amity: Though I will still destroy anything that has any images of him or reminds people of him.

Luz: The whole isles are already doing that.

Amity: Still I can’t stop feeling like the time when we met and I was going to let you die only this time I did let you die.

Luz: Amity you shouldn’t see it like that.

Amity: How else can I look at such a bleak looking scenario.

What Amity said brought a thought into Luz’s head.

Luz’s inner thoughts: Bleak looking, dead looking.

Like a magic phrase this unlocked some memories Luz had of the in between realm.

Luz: I didn’t die.

Amity: You don’t have to lie.

Luz: I am not. When I said the titan was dead looking I wonder if I was and he said no calmly, then he quickly said no multiple times since I was sinking in the water between realms which would lead to the afterlife or something, and then he said I would be dead looking if I cross without a portal. He described himself as dead looking and he had a beating heart so wouldn’t that imply I was more alive than he was?

Amity: That makes sense.

Luz: And since he called himself stuck and said if I go through without a portal doesn’t that mean I was alive enough to leave?

Amity: That is true.

Luz: Amity I never died, and I am sorry I just realized this.

Amity hugged Luz and started happily crying.

Amity: I didn’t let you die. I didn’t let you die.

Amity was so happy she was practically blubbering. Luz hugged her back.

Amity: Still I should make sure nothing like that ever happens, I will do an everlasting oath to protect you.

Luz: I am not helping with that.

Amity: I can do one to myself.

Luz: You can, but how would you undo it?

Amity: Since I am going to say I am going to do a better job to protect you the only way I cannot undo it is if something is actively endangering you. It is not like I become a robotic puppet otherwise wouldn’t you think Odalia would have forced everlasting oaths on the rest of my family?

Luz: That makes sense but you shouldn’t have to do this due to guilt.

Amity: Luz even if that didn’t happen to you I want to protect you because I love you.

Luz: Amity I know no matter what we go through I will always make it out alive thanks to you.

Amity believes Luz.

Amity: Alright, but if I feel I am not enough to protect you and you are in danger I am doing the oath even if it sounds like a bad idea.

Luz: I can accept that, and Amity you shouldn’t feel bad about wanting to do an everlasting oath sometimes I feel like that.

Amity: Really?

Luz: I didn’t feel like talking about this but Amity sometimes I think we should do an everlasting path spell so I can’t lie to you anymore since I have done that too much. But I didn’t wanted to say anything as I didn’t want you to have any bad memories related to prior experiences and I knew you wouldn’t like that idea.

Amity was amazed how considerate Luz is since controlling somebody she cares about with magic would remind her too much of Odalia.

Amity: You are really wonderful and you are already changing so you won’t do those mistakes again since you didn’t wanted to talk about it but you talked about it. Plus I have done much worst things to you.

Luz: No you haven’t.

Amity hugged Luz again since she is so amazing and forgiving. Amity did make a promise to herself that she will never let Luz die again or specifically be close to dying, a promise she kept more than anybody would have ever guessed. The two of them and their palismans went to Eda and Kings and told them Luz realized that she never died.

Eda: Oh thank titan.

King: Yeah thank dad.

Luz: I am glad he was looking out for me.

Eda realized something.

Eda: Now that I have a clearer head I think you were teleported.

Luz: You mean when I went to meet him?

Eda: Yeah the light explosion and the light orbs were reminiscent of the mindscape spell.

Amity: That is a interdimensional spell and all magic comes from the titan.

Eda: Bingo kid, he saved Luz. I should have realized it everything else was turning into spores and black smoke not light. Though I wonder why then.

King: Maybe Luz needed to be in touch with titan magic for him to teleport her.

Eda: That does make sense.

Luz: And I think I saw King’s dad trying to contact me before.

Amity: You did say you thought you saw someone when we went through that temporary portal.

Luz: I did and when the Collector started that nightmare spell I saw the titan’s face and I wasn’t in any deadly danger. So I never died Kings’ dad just teleported me away. I guess that makes sense since he didn’t restore my body since I still had damage and torn clothing that wasn’t there before the blast. He didn’t need to resurrect me he was pulling me away so it didn’t get worse before teleporting me back.

Amity, Eda, King, Owlbert, Stringbean, and Ghost all hugged Luz. They were hugging so long even Luz was surprised by this. But it is fine she loves to give hugs and get hugged. After some more cookies Lumity and their palismans went to the human realm. They told Camilla and Vee that Luz didn’t actually die. Camila and Vee hugged Luz since they were so happy to hear they didn’t lose her that day even if it was temporary.later they had dinner and went to bed.

It was at night and Amity woke up that Luz got out of her bed and went to the kitchen instead of the bathroom. Amity followed her and was wondering if she was ok. She saw Luz getting some water.

Amity: Couldn’t sleep?

Luz: Yeah, remember I told you I had trouble sleeping?

Amity: I remember.

Luz: I wake up a couple times a night since I was scared I would not actually be here or I would be separate from the ones I care about again. It is normally a tingling sensation on my right hand, don’t worry it is not related to any fear due to that moldy jerk it is just I do not want to be alone again. Though I found a way that helps.

Amity: What is it?

Luz: If Vee or my mom hold my hand or in Vee’s case I sleep with her tail in my hand I do not wake up at night though I still toss and turn.

Amity: I can understand that I have had trouble sleeping due to that day and I now go to sleep hugging a copy of our Grom photo.

Luz: I can make a photo of me hugging you if you want it.

Amity: I would love that and why weren’t you holding anybody’s hand or Vee’s tail tonight?

Luz: I thought after finding I didn’t die I could sleep better but apparently things were not that simple.

Amity: I can hold your hand if you want.

Luz: Thank you Amity.

Amity held Luz’s right hand and she started to caress her fingers. Luz quickly drifted off to sleep. It was the best night the two of them had in awhile

.

They woke up feeling really refreshed after that. They kissed as soon as they saw each other.

Luz: I slept great, I wish you could hold my hand even when you are not here.

Amity had an idea.

Amity: Luz do you remember how I lost a glove to give you the titan blood?

Luz: I am sorry about that.

Amty: Dont be you can have the other glove to hold your hand when I am not here.

Luz hugged Amity and kissed her check, Amity returned the favor.

They then had breakfast, Camila noticed that Luz looked really happy today. Later Luz helped Camila with the dishes as Amity talked to Vee.

Camila: You look like really well rested.

Luz: I sleep so well thanks to Amity holding my hand she just makes me feel so much better.

Luz then had a thought that made her a bit sad.

Luz sounding downtrodden: Hey mom?

Camila: Yes mija?

Luz: Is it bad that I feel that Amity is the only person who understands me in ways nobody else can, not even you?

Camila gasped then she hugged Luz. Luz was confused. How Luz feels about Amity is how Camila feels about Manny.

Camila: I am so happy to hear that, I can tell she is so good for you.

Luz: She really is but I wish we could hug all night as we sleep whenever we have sleepovers.

Camila had a thought she wasn’t sure if this would be good or bad parenting but she had to say it, since she knows this would be god for Luz.

Camila: Why don’t you?

Amity: What?

The mother and daughter saw Amity has walked in.

Luz: Are you sure?

Camila: Look I may not know if this is the right decision but I know you won’t do anything inappropriate I trust you both plus Vee shares your room so I have no worries. However I need to call Amity’s father to se if he is ok with it,

Amity: Alright.

They walked to the portal and when Amity opened it she summoned her crow phone and dialed her dad’s number befor giving the crow phone giving it to Camila.

Alador: Yes?

Camila: Hi this is Luz’s mother.

Alador: Is everything alright?

Camila: I wanted to tell you that Luz has been having trouble sleeping and she slept better when Amity held your hand so would you be alright if when they sleepover they hug each other as they go to sleep in the same bed?

Alador: That sounds like a good idea.

Camila: You are fine with it just like that?

Alador: Amity has been having trouble falling asleep recently and I trust her not to do anything foolish. Also I trust you.

Camila: Why exactly, we haven’t talked much.

Alador: My kids are they grew up to be good people despite my less than stellar parenting skills and you raised Luz so I am sure you are the better parent, so I trust you. And do not worry I am sure I can talk to Amity for some kind of arrangement if those two want to sleep while hugging at our manor.

Camila: Well thank you for agreeing to this.

Alador: No problem and goodbye.

Camila: Alright bye.

Camila hanged up and the crow phone flew back through the portal. Camila saw that Luz and Amity were not here but she had a guess. She saw Vee on her way inside.

Vee: Hola mama(hi mom).

Camila: Hi Vee did you see where your sister and Amity went?

Vee: They went into our room. Luz looked like she slept well recently.

Camila: That reminds me I talked with Amity’s dad and she has been having trouble sleeping as well. Luz mentioned an idea that she and Amity should share a bed whenever they are at a sleepover so they can sleep better. I hope you wouldn’t find it odd.

Vee: Not really, Luz deserves to be able to sleep well after all she has been through.

Camila: Hopefully she will eventually stop needing to hold your tail while she is asleep.

Vee: I don’t really mind doing that for her, after all she is always willing to help me.

Camila:I am glad you two can be there for each other. Well I better check up on them.

Vee: Ok bye.

Camilla went into Luz and Vee’s room and Luz and Amity were taking a nap while hugging. They left as soon as he approved of it. Camila saw that Luz was sleeping peacefully. Camila felt like she hasn’t seen Luz sleep like that in such a long time. Amity is really good for Luz. Camila left so they can take their nap.

While they have been through way too much and the road to recovery is difficult they will inevitably overcome their trauma since they have each other so they can help one another along the way.

Chapter Text

Luz and Vee are about to play their first game as Gravesfield Ghouls during Luz’s junior year in Spring. Both of them are ready for the game to start in a few minutes. They have their new uniforms on, which Vee is actually wearing instead of shapeshifting into. Of course Amity is here and she going to cheer for the Noceda sisters. Before the game starts Amity walks towards Luz. Amity is wearing a long sleeve pink shirt, jeans, and black shoes. She has a large purse with her.

Amity: So how are you feeling?

Luz: I am nervous but I am feeling pretty good, I am hoping to maybe strike a home run or at the very least I am not the reason we lose and I don’t embarrass myself.

Amity: Luz Noceda I know you can be more optimistic than that.

Luz: Sorry it is just you know how I can get anxious about these kinds of things.

Amity sighs.

Amity: I know you can do well since I have been helping you practice, and you are really athletic.

Luz blushes: Thanks Amity, and I mean it especially since this means less time for us to be together.

Amity: It is ok Luz, after all I will be studying abomination engineering with my dad more so it is not a problem. And I can still join you for dinner and go back to my house a couple of hours later so we can still spend a lot of time together.

Luz: I know it is just that I feel bad about this since you are doing your thing to further your career and it is not like I want to be a professional baseball player.

Amity: Luz you are doing this so Vee won’t be alone and you can be there for her, you are doing this to improve your academic record, and you can make people bother you less. I say you have more than enough good reasons for doing this and I support you. Plus I can still see all of your games.

Luz: Well I would like to impress you, except are you sure seeing my games will not interfere with your abomination engineering studies?

Amity: I have been studying abomination engineering far longer than my hair has been purple, I already knew how to use a soldiering iron before I was 15. My abomination engineering education will be fine.

Luz: Alright if you are sure.

Amity: And thank you for wearing the extra protection.

Luz: It is not a big deal wearing that abomination chest plate you made for me, plus it is only like a slightly padded shirt.

Amity has been extra protective of Luz since the isles were saved. While she won’t stop Luz she will make sure she is safe.

Amity: Sorry if I am being a bit too overprotective.

Luz: It is fine, I get it. If things were the other way around I would be a bit overprotective too.

Luz would be overprotective about Amity since she feels bad about her getting injured during the Grudgby game, although she doesn’t blame herself but she would be more protective of Amity in the future. The coach said it is time for the game.

Luz: Well time to go.

Amity: I know you will do great and here is something for some extra good luck.

Amity kissed Luz on the cheek, now Luz really felt positive. Amity saw Luz walking with the team and she saw Vee trying to keep Luz calm when she was getting nervous. Which made Amity feel better as she knows Luz had some support on the team. Amity soon headed towards the bleachers to watch. Fortunately the only two people in that section were Camila and Masha.

Masha: Hey Amity.

Amity: Hello Masha I know you will cheer for Vee but I hope you will also cheer for Luz.

Masha: Of course I will, just like you will cheer for Vee too.

Amity: You got that right.

Camila: It is nice seeing you two get along.

Masha: Thanks Mrs. N. We do bond over things like gothic clothing more than we do with our girlfriends, though they do appreciate them.

Amity: We do get along well.

Amity was adjusting her jeans a lot.

Amity whispering: Curse these growing hips!

Camila: Is something wrong?

Amity was embarrassed but she whispered why she felt uncomfortable.

Camila whispering: I remember those times when I was younger. I can give you some advice if you want.

Amity whispering: Are you sure it won’t be a problem?

Camila: Not at all, in fact I am glad I am able to pass along some wisdom since I do not think Luz would be needing it since she takes after Manny’s side of the family in the slimness department.

Amity: Yeah I noticed.

Amity then became deeply embarrassed.

Camila: It is ok, Amity. You are Luz’s girlfriend and you go clothes shopping together it would be stranger if you didn’t noticed things like this. I am simply glad you appreciate her.

Amity: How can I not she is so beautiful.

Amity was smiling while admiring Luz as she waited for her turn. Camila smiled knowing that Luz has Amity in her life who deeply loves her.

Luz was about to take her turn as the batter. Amity was ready to start cheering for her when she heard something troubling. Two guys were talking about messing with Luz.

Jerk 1: So how should we mess with Noceda?

Jerk 2: You mean the weirdo who has been here for years right?

Jerk 1: Who else? Do you think we should heckle her when she is about to swing?

Jerk 2: Sounds good to me.

However before they could say anything they tensed up. It was as if they felt a dangerous tiger stalking them, though Luz usually calls her a kitten. The jerks decided to not bother Luz. The whole time they felt tense Amity was glaring at them after she put some sunglasses on in case her eyes started glowing. Her snarking skills are not the only skills she gained from her years as a bully she also has intimidation and her glare. She could obviously use more extreme methods to handle those jerks but she doesn’t want to give Luz any kind of problems. Fortunately her intimidation and glaring skills have improved over the years even after she stopped being a bully. Usually it is a good method to scare would be pick pockets from stealing from her or Luz. Luz was nervous but she tried to calm herself down.

Luz thinking to herself: There are no jerks here it is just your mom, your sister, your girlfriend, and your good friend who is dating your sister.

Luz felt a bit more relaxed after thinking that. Luz swung the bat when the baseball came near her and it was a hit. Luz started running as fast as she could. Too many people were stunned by how hard she hit it. While Luz was running Amity was cheering. Amity made a foam finger out of abomination go and it had Luz is number one on it, she also had one that said go Vee ready for later. Though she did make a Go Luz and Vee is number one for Masha. And Amity made a go Luz and a go Vee foam finger for Camila since she can never cheer for one of her daughters over the other. Amity wanted to cover all of her bases which Luz just did in order to get the first home run of the game. All of Luz’s bullies were stunned by how fast she went. While some of her friends from Hexside think humans are just fast Amity knows Luz is surprisingly fast and strong for a human of her build. Which are some of Luz’s traits that Amity deeply admires. After Luz scored the first home run of the game Amity was jumping from excitement.

Amity while screaming: GO LUZ!

Many of the onlookers were simply too stunned to notice Amity’s cheering. Amity saw Camila and Masha were surprised by her.

Amity: What? I am her number one fan.

They chuckled a bit and the they cheered for Luz. When the teams switched Vee was able to catch the ball and prevent the other team from getting a home run. Amity was not surprised by this as she has practiced with both Luz and Vee. While Luz was good at running and using the bat Vee was good at figuring out where the ball would be and she was skilled in catching it. The Noceda sisters made the perfect batter and outfielder duo. This was proven as Luz was able to use her dodging skills later so her home run would not be interrupted. Dodging baseballs was easier compared to what she had to dodge on the isles. Later Luz was able to hit the winning home run. The team celebrated, however while they were cheering together they excluded Luz even though she won them the game and she had more home run than anybody. Amity was mad that they didn’t give her credit, even during Grom when Luz could not defeat Grom alone and she needed help from her the students of Hexside carried them while cheering yet here the student didn’t even acknowledge Luz. As much as this ticked off Amity she rather talk with Luz as Camila and Masha went to congratulate Vee.

Luz: Hey Amity I did great!

Amity was smiling looking at her Luz. But then she got flustered for major two reasons. When Luz jumped for joy Amity saw her waist and it reminded her of Luz’s old hoodie which she did noticed Luz’s charming waist on occasion. And the other reason was Amity just remembered how Luz looks when she is in a uniform and sweaty.

Luz: I did it, I did it! I was able to get a home run and I did it a couple of times. And I didn’t embarrass myself!

Luz was smiling so much. To Amity Luz’s smile was more soothing than a cold drink in the desert, brighter than the sun, and more beautiful than the stars at night.

Amity: Congratulations Luz I knew you would be awesome.

Luz: It was amazing that I hit the home run, and Vee was so cool.

Amity: I am not surprised, she is your sister after all.

Luz was now blushing from that indirect compliment.

Luz: Thanks and I would hug you but I am kind of dirty and I am sure I look like a mess.

Amity wanted to compliment Luz but she had a bit a Freudian slip.

Amity: I think your waist looks nice.

Luz was a bit confused.

Luz: Thanks.

Amity was all red in the face but she had to be clear.

Amity: Luz when you jumped I saw your waist and I always liked seeing it.

Luz was getting more confused.

Amity knew she had to come clean.

Amity: Luz when you wore your cat hoodie sometimes I could see your waist and I think your waist is lovely.

Now Luz was blushing a lot as it clicked what Amity said.

Luz: I guess that could have happened a lot since my hoodie was a bit short which is why I wore high waisted jeans shorts but I am surprised you paid that kind of attention to me.

Amity: I am sorry, I am acting weird.

Luz knew how to make Amity feel less embarrassed.

Luz: I have to confess Amity I have similar feelings about the back of your neck.

Now it was Amity’s turned to be surprised.

Luz: I know it is weird but usually your hair covers the back of your neck so whenever I can see it is like a treat. Oh why did I say treat, you are blowing it Luz.

Amity had a small smile on her face. Amity put her hand on Luz ls shoulder and looked her in the eyes.

Amity: Luz that is how I feel about your waist, plus if you like seeing my neck you can make sure nobody sticks something on there again.

Luz: Well I always got your back so I guess that does include your nape too.

This made Amity chuckle a bit. As the mood calmed down they didn’t know it but that awkwardness was nothing compared to the awkwardness that is about to happen.

Luz: You know Amity I would hug you but I am a bit dirty right now.

Amity: Luz I work with abominations, I do not mind you having dirt on your clothes.

Luz: That was not what I was talking about.

Luz was looking away and was nervous.

Amity with concern in her voice: What is it?

Luz: I am all sweaty and isn’t it kind of gross?

Amity was about to have an even worse Freudian slip that she blurt out.

Amity: I like it when you are sweaty in a cute uniform!

Amity covered her mouth as her face became bright red and fortunately or unfortunately Luz was the only one who heard that.

Luz: I am not sure if I heard you right, can you say it again?

Amity: I was saying I like it when you are sweaty especially in a cute uniform, I have ever since I was just imagining it before our Grudgby game.I just like the way you skin glistens when you get really sweaty.

Luz was blushing but she was not bothered by what Amity said at all. Though Amity didn’t felt that positive about what she admitted as her face turned a deep crimson out of embarrassment.

Luz: Really even though I probably stink?

Amity: Luz you do not stink, besides I am sure I would be worse since I work with abominations all day and I do work with some old books too.

Luz: I love how you smell. I was covered in abomination goo for hours on the day we met so the smell doesn’t bother me. And I love the smell of books I know you have seen my inhale the smell of books before. Plus it smells great with your natural flower like scent.

Luz just realized she had a Freudian slip and she covered her mouth. Amity saw Luz was distressed so she thought of a way to make her feel better.

Amity: Well I love your scent of lemons, optimism, and your natural Luz smell even when you sweat.

Amity felt like she wanted to pass out but she hopes this made Luz feel better. Luz had an idea to break the tension a bit.

Luz: Well I like your hair to be a bit messy, ever since I saw it down before you colored it.

Amity: You like my hair to be messy.

Luz: Yes just like you like me to be sweaty, though I am ok with you being sweaty too.

Amity: Really, even when I get nervous?

Luz: Yeah I do, I am also really happy that you like me when I get sweaty. I guess we both like each other when we are a little messy.

Luz gave Amity a cute smile as she tilted her head down while looking up at Amity. Amity smiled seeing how unusually bashful Luz was.

Amity: I guess so.

Amity gave her girlfriend a kiss on the cheek, which perked Luz up.

Amity: And I don’t mind kissing my sweaty girlfriend either.

This made Luz feel a lot better and she hugged Amity, Amity really wanted this hug as she hugged Luz back.

Masha soon arrived to congratulate Luz.

Masha: Luz that was amazing, also your mom said we should be going soon.

Luz: Thanks Masha, however those home runs were nothing you should have seen me swing Owlbert to hit a bunch of fireworks into a demonic prison warden’s mouth on my first day on the isles.

Masha: How have I not heard that story you got to give me the deets.

Luz began to tell Masha how she ended fighting former Warden Wrath. As Amity was about to walk with them she was stopped as Vee had something to say to her.

Amity: Hi Vee you were awesome.

Vee: Thanks but there something I wanted to say.

Amity: Sure, I will listen to what you have to say.

Vee: I am sorry this baseball idea has taken time away from you and Luz being together. I know how much you love each other and I have been feeling bad about this since Luz joined the team with me.

Amity: It is fine, Luz and I can still spend time together and as long as we check with each other with a crowphone a day or see each other’s posts on Penstagram once a day we are fine.

Vee: I really appreciate that you even helped me and Luz practice.

Amity: It is no problem. Vee I didn’t do this just to help Luz I did this to help you, and not just because you are Luz’s sister you are also a good friend of mine.

Vee was now blushing.

Vee: Thanks for being a supportive friend.

Amity: Well I learned from the best.

Amity and Vee both looked at Luz when Amity said that.

Amity: Besides I get to see Luz be happy and cool when she is playing. And if this makes her life easier at school then it is more than worth it for her to play baseball.

Vee: Even though you get nervous enough to have a first aid kit in your purse and you made Luz wear abomination goo as protection?

Amity: You noticed?

Vee: I can smell it, since I can smell magic.

Amity blushed a bit from embarrassment due to what Vee said.

Amity: Sorry if I distracted you.

Vee: It is ok, the abomination goo smell actually made me feel calmer since you are protective of Luz and you have defended me too more than once.

Amity: No problem, and yeah I do get a bit worried about Luz playing but even so as long as she is safe and happy I am fine with her playing. Plus I get to see how amazing she is, especially when she hits a home run.

Amity was also thinking about how amazing Luz looks when she gets sweaty but she is not going to say that. Camila then drove the four of them for dinner at the Noceda house.

Camilla: Dinner is ready now we just have to wait for Luz.

Amity, Vee, and Masha along with Camilla are waiting at the dinner table for Luz. Vee showered first and Luz let her go first as a kind gesture. Though the way Luz looked at Amity this also seemed partially motivated so Amity can see Luz being sweaty for a little while longer. After Vee was done Luz went in. Amity almost wished Luz didn’t have to take a shower.

Luz: I am back.

Luz sat on Amity’s right side. And they both smiled at each other. Luz then grabbed Amity’s hand as they would soon eat dinner. Amity saw Luz had rolled up her shirt a bit exposing her waist and even though Luz has finished showering she had left some water on her face and neck so her skin was still glistening a little. Amity knew Luz did this for her. Amity then adjusted her hair a bit so it looked a little messier and she exposed her nape a bit more. Now Luz realized what Amity was doing for her. Both of them ate dinner while blushing. Camila, Vee, and Masha just assumed that Luz and Amity were blushing due to holding hands while they were eating dinner. However there was much more to it than just that and only these two would ever know about it.

There are many ways a loving couple can show their love for each other and sometimes it is so subtle that nobody else can ever see the meaning behind the subtlest of gestures happening between the loving couple.

Chapter Text

Luz is waiting outside at night in front of the university tree waiting for Amity. Luz is wearing ripped jeans, a black sleeveless turtle neck, square dark purple tinted sunglasses, her necklace from Amity, and her regular shoes. Stringbean is around Luz’s neck. Since this is a party held at wild magic university things like using magic or what ever you have created can be added to your appearance. According to Eda she said when it comes to adding magic to your clothing dress as wild as you want as long as it doesn’t destroy the school, at least too much. So Luz had put a bit of extra magical effort into her looks. Luz used her construction magic knowledge to make a metal headband to wear on her forehead. It is engraved with connected light glyphs so they would make a light show like a bunch of snakes slithering, it is sort of based off of that signboard Luz made for Eda years ago. Luz is also using her Oracle charm bracelet to make some shadow based tattoos on her arms that look like asiatic dragons and she also turned some locks of her hair into shadowy snakes. Plus the extra eyes would make her less anxious since she would feel less nervous if she can be more aware of her surroundings, especially since she would be able to see more of Amity.

Luz: I hope things will go well.

Stringbean: Hiss(relax it is a party).

Luz: You are right Stringbean. And I will especially feel better when Amity arrives.

Amity: You called?

Amity arrived via abomination goo and she was all dressed up for this party too. Amity in addition to her hairband and her regular shoes she was wearing a sleeveless dark purple button up shirt and black pants. She had this new hair accessory in her hair that looks like a hair clip with a flower. She also had her hair partially abomination shifted to have some eyes on her pony tail. She was also wearing these new abomination gloves that had a bunch of loops and some built in sheaths. Ghost is around Amity’s neck. Ghost and Stringbean immediately began to telepathically chat. Both Luz and Amity froze for a bit admiring each other’s arms. Luz admired Amity’s strong arms and Amity admired Luz’s tattoos.

Luz: Wow, you look great.

Amity: So do you, I love your headband.

Luz: You mean this thing?

Luz tapped it and the snake light show started.

Amity: It looks pretty cool.

Luz while blushing: Thanks but I was thinking of adding a scribe stone but I think that would have been too much.

A scribe stone is a magic gem with a rune on it that can project words sort of like how Gus can make messages from illusions magic. They are common in advertisements and for those who have issues speaking.

Amity: I think you are good after all your glyphs have always been more than enough, like that oil glyph combo you showed me it has been really helping me with some machinery.

Luz: Thanks for the compliment and I am glad to be of help .

Luz then looked puzzled as it seems the accessory in Amity’s hair has changed to a crescent moon.

Luz: Wasn’t your hair accessory a flower?

Amity: Yes and later it will be a star and a diamond.

Luz: Did you make a hair accessory that changes by itself?

Amity: I am testing it out for every minute do you think that is a good amount of time?

Luz: Yes and it is a wonderful idea.

Amity: Thanks,(she is speaking with a slight seductive tone now) but this one is customized just. for. us.

Now Luz’s cheeks were practically glowing while she is blushing, she had to change the subject quickly.

Luz (sounding flustered): So those gloves are new.

Amity: Yes these are my abomi-tool gloves, each loop and sheath is meant to hold a different tool for quick access. I was wondering if I should bring them or not since I am not sure if I should use this party as advertisement.

Luz: That is a wonderful idea you should show off your hard work, you are going to make a lot of money with the students from abomination engineering.

Amity: Thanks Luz. Speaking of money you will be getting your share of those abomination adjustable temperature fans.

Luz: It was your hard work that made those.

Amity: Luz it was your idea to make molds of glyphs so I can mass produce engraved glyphs for my inventions, and you had the genius idea to make them like puzzle pieces so they won’t be activated by accident during the manufacturing process. Luz you have more than earned profit from every sale. And even the profits from inventions that do not use glyphs or you didn’t help with I am more than happy to spend it on you during our romantic dates.

Luz: That is really sweet.

Amity: It is just what you deserve.

Luz: So when can I buy some of those abomi-tool gloves?

Amity: Luz you are getting a free pair, after all you are the inventor’s cute girlfriend.

Luz is getting flustered once more.

Luz: I say the inventor is cuter.

Amity was now entering tomato mode.

Luz: So besides that anything else new?

Amity: Well Lilith and I along with some others found out the bloom of eternal youth is real.

Luz: I remember Eda mentioning it once and I am not surprised it turned out to be real after all Grimwalkers and humans were once thought to be myths here.

Amity: Yes and we found out while you can take it once the effect is permanent, and taking it multiple times changes nothing.

Luz: So does it work?

Amity: It would have, but the plant is extinct and it only makes you look young so old age still affected you just not your looks.

Luz: Well that isn’t for us.

Amity: There is a potion recipe using the bloom to make you stop being affected by the non visual aspects of old age and the ingredients are still around and common except for the bloom.

Luz: How did you guys find about it if it went extinct?

Amity: We found a book in Terra’s old greenhouse and it has been a real mess since she has been arrested. So I had to cut down a lot of dangerous plants.

Luz: I hope you are okay.

Amity: I did not get injured but I can’t say the same for those plants. Anyways we found it in a secret location.

Luz: So Terra was looking for it too?

Amity: Yes and apparently she has done some crazy things in her greenhouse to recreate it like hybridize dangerous plants and there were more than a few bodies buried there so she could have tried using some “fresh fertilizer”.

Luz: Immortality while hurting others never ends well.

Amity: Yeah so that plant seems to be gone for good.

Luz: Hey I had a thought are some plants related to it or plants that are descended from it still around?

Amity: Yes I have seen plants like that.

Luz: You remember how chickens evolved from dinosaurs?

Amity: Yes I remember you mentioning that.

Luz: Well some scientists on earth are trying to recreate dinosaurs by altering the genes of chickens.

Amity: Wasn’t a scary movie franchise like that?

Luz: I am saying it is possible, I am not saying that it is a smart choice, plus the isles have scarier things than dinosaurs.

Amity: That is very true.

Luz: Although it is only one thing at a time like recreating dinosaur tails, legs, and teeth separately but it may be easier with a plant if you use some of its plant relatives to recreate it by changing some aspects at a time.

Amity: That could actually work, Luz you beautiful dorky genius.

Amity kissed Luz on the lips for quite a while, then they both started blushing once more.

Luz still blushing: Shall we head in?

Amity still tomatoing: Yeah we don’t want to miss the party.

They both nervously walked towards the party room. They went into a room within the tree, it was very large but it was not that surprising as Eda did design the interior to be bigger on the inside like the hidden room at Hexside, though she needed help for that. There were dozens of student there enjoying the festivities.

Luz: I hope we will meet somebody we know soon.

Luz’s wish was granted. Masha and Vee are there. This isn’t a surprise as Vee is part of the human realm exchange program and Masha is taking some courses though not as many as Luz. Vee is wearing an orange necklace with a matching one on her tail, she also has her nails painted an alternating pattern of light blue and orange. Masha is wearing a dark green tank top, a black skirt with shorts, and sandals. They also have their palisman Fangz on their head. It was obvious Masha drank some potions for this party as Eda did say to go wild with magic while partying. Due to the potions they had Masha had four arms one of which is holding Vee’s hand as two others are holding drinking cups and it is also why Masha is wearing a tank top so the new arms won’t ruin their clothes. Masha also has lizard like feet and the red highlights in their hair were actually red spider legs growing from their scalp, they like the fact they match their spider palisman Fangz. This choice of magical alterations was not surprising as Masha always found demons to be so cool, well they are dating one after all. This fact is also a reason they get along with Luz as they both have a deep admiration for a species of the demon realm especially towards their girlfriends. Why Masha’s greatest wish that woke up Fangz was to be a version of themselves they can be happy with and sometimes that includes having demonic traits. It took a while for Masha to figure that out but it didn’t really struck them until they had the idea when they gained some demon traits from a potion. Fortunately for Masha unlike most witch’s even the ones on the potion track who dislike drinking them, Masha actually loves them they joke with Vee that this makes both of them magic eaters which is kind of true. Vee also has her palisman with her. Vee’s palisman is a cockatrice named Pollita(young female chicken). She has a long light green snake tail with iridescent dark green feathers. She has two clusters of feathers on her long snake like neck that sort of look like Vee’s ears. Pollita is on Vee’s shoulder sitting on her tail since she doesn’t want to risk scratching Vee even though her talons are just for show and they are not sharp. Vee had Pollita made so she could take care of herself and Masha better and to have some supply of magic. Thanks to Pollita’s magic Vee has a quick and harmless way to incapacitate enemies as Pollita can paralyze with a gaze or put to sleep those who hear her crowing when they are in front of her. Vee’s greatest wish to wake up Pollita was to have a life she can be proud of, she originally thought she had that but she eventually realized she doesn’t want to just have a life pretending to be human even if it is her own identity she wants to have a life she can be proud of as a basilisk it took her a while to find that out. Both Masha and Vee took between a quarter of a year to half a year to figure out their greatest wishes.

Veesha: Hey Lumity.

Lumity: Hey Veesha.

The four of them chuckled as their palisman were telepathically chatting as well.

Luz: I am digging the extra limbs Masha including the ones in your hair.

Masha: Thanks, those Oracle magic tats look sick.

Vee: Also I would like to say the sunglasses and snake light show go well together.

Luz: Thank you both, and Vee those claws look great.

Vee: They are just two colors made wavy they are nowhere near as good when you do them, it would have been worse if my claws weren’t so long.

Masha: They are great and you did the work yourself.

Amity: You should take the compliment like that necklace bracelet combo you have on your tail.

Vee: Thanks you for noticing, and I like your hair decoration and and did it just change?

Amity: It is a new invention I am trying out.

Masha: I would like to get one.

Amity: For you or Vee?

Masha: Both.

Amity: Alright consider them future gifts but this is customized for me and Luz so your two’s would be different.

Vee: That is even better, and I like your gloves.

Amity: Thanks they are for holding tools for abomaination engineering.

Vee: That explains the loops.

Masha: Are those only for abomaination engineering tools, if not I would get some for some of my classes.

Amity: They can hold tools for other this as long as it is not too different from tools used in abomination engineering.

Masha: Cool.

Luz: This is sure some party.

Masha: Well it is wilder at some of the other places, then again Eda did allow some crazy stuff to happen.

Luz: What is allowed to happen to those places?

Vee: Wait I thought you went to the assembly Eda held before the party?

Luz: I did.

Amity: They why don’t you know?

Luz: I was too busy imagining going out with you.

Amity: Awe.

Vee: That figures, well it is not like Eda would be mad about you ignoring authority.

Masha: Don’t worry I will tell them.

Lumity: Thanks Masha.

Masha: No sweat, now Eda said that since the students are adults they probably have wild mature ideas well those are fine if they can keep them away from the people who are not interested. This next part are her exact words “and if you guys want to get down and dirty somewhere keep it in your dorm rooms and try not to make a racket, I do not care if you literally want to turn it into a party just remember make sure everybody involved really wants to join in, do not do anything that will emotionally hurt somebody, use protection magic, and have fun!” By that point all the students were cheering for her.

Luz, Amity, and Vee were all blushing from hearing that.

Luz: I do remember the cheering part, I just thought it was because Eda is a great headmaster.

Masha: She is.

Amity: Out of curiosity what are those activities some of the students in those designated areas?

Vee: I honestly don’t know.

Masha: I will tell you since I checked earlier. Now the following activities are happening during this party, body shots, a suggestive dance party, spin the bottle, oil/abomination goo/mud wrestling, wet t shirt contests, strip poker, and skinny dipping.

The other three were really flustered after hearing that.

Luz: Wow I was not expecting it to be to that extent.

Vee: Yeah that is a lot.

Masha: So does any of these interest you?

Lumity: No, we are not attending any of those.

Luz: Even though Amity and I can dance that is not a dance party I am interested in attending.

Amity: Even though I can control mud and abomination goo I will not be entering that wrestling competition.

Masha: I was thinking of checking the skinny dipping myself with Vee.

Vee: Why?!

Masha: Relax I was thinking it could help with that issue you sometimes get.

Masha was talking about how Vee due to basically having more of an upbringing in the human realm than the demon realm she gets self conscious about being without clothes in her natural form when there are strangers around. Both Luz and Amity know about this and Luz even tried telling Vee it is not that weird as King and Hooty don’t wear clothes. But Vee still gets self conscious.

Vee: Thanks for helping but I am not sure that situation will help.

Masha: Why are you scared of falling for somebody else?

While Masha was teasing they have told Vee that they are open minded enough for their relationship to be open if Vee falls for somebody in addition to them, and while Vee does return the sentiment neither of them have in interest in seeking multiple partners.

Vee: I am being serious.

Masha: Alright, but you do know that some places it is ok to be without clothes in public like some beaches in the human realm, and it is more common in the demon realm under specific circumstances.

Vee: I know.

Masha: You do know I would be willing to do it with you.

Vee while blushing: You will?

Masha: Of course without hesitation.

Vee: You are way more chill about this than usual.

Masha: There is nothing wrong about a person’s body I have even thought of being a nude model before but I don’t want it to bother you.

Vee: I honestly didn’t know that was a thing.

Masha: Well there is a need for that kind of model in the modern day. As artists you can agree with me right Luz and Amity?

Luz while blushing: Yeah those kinds of models are needed by some artists but I am not that kind of artist.

Amity while blushing: While I am not interested in making that kind of art I can respect somebody brave enough to be that kind of model.

To be told the truth the only model Luz and Amity would ever want for those kinds of paintings would be each other, but their relationship is nowhere near that level and it would most likely backfire in some manner. Luz and Amity couldn’t make eye contact with each other for a while after having those kinds of thoughts.

Vee: I thank you for willing to go through that with me but I may get jealous of people looking at you.

Masha: I saw the rules of the skinny dipping event and you can cover yourself with magic just not clothing.

Vee: So it is the same rule as how a witch can legally be in public without clothes.

Due to the nature of the isles there are laws about these kinds of things though even though they are more regulated they are more open minded.

Amity sounding annoyed: I remember about that law when I was forced to read a law book so the family wouldn’t look bad about having an ignorant daughter.

Luz held Amity’s hand to make her feel better.

Luz: I found that one out when Eda told me this story on how she escaped her house after she turned into the owl beast while she was getting out of the shower, she didn’t know the clothes changing spell yet so she quickly had to make a potion with some of her shed feathers so she can get herself covered in feathers when she went back home.

Amity: I am surprised she told you something that embarrassing.

Luz: It was more like what I should do if I didn’t have enough clothes for some reason like from a wild demon or an explosion, so if I use enough magic to cover myself up I won’t get arrested.

Masha: So back on topic Vee you won’t have to worry about people staring at me since I do have potion that will let me grow an exoskeleton so I will be completely covered I could even go outside with that amount of exoskeleton and I would be fine.

Vee knows Masha could do that not just because it being legal but Masha has told her that they kind of find that kind of freedom interesting in a non dirty minded way, and admires how Vee can naturally do it, even if she herself gets self conscious.

Masha: Luz and Amity you would be less worried about being in that kind of situation at the skinny dipping even if you knew your girlfriend was covered up by magic right?

Luz: I still wouldn’t attend even if I could censor myself with shadows.

Amity: Yeah I am not interested even if I can cover myself in abomination goo.

Masha: I was referring you two being in your shadow Oracle form and you abomination form.

Lumity: Oh, still no because we are not interested in seeing others like that.

Masha: Alright I guess I lost this discussion, I am sure I can think of another good way of using that exoskeleton potion.

Masha gave a wink at Vee who started blushing.

Luz: So you have tested out that potion?

Masha: I have, here is a photo. Luckily it didn’t damage my clothes.

Masha showed them a photo on their scroll that they haven’t posted and the exoskeleton Masha had looked like armor. Masha really would be completely covered by it.

Luz: That looks cool.

Masha: Thanks, but if you think that is cool I have this idea when we learn to make more advance things in alchemy class.

Masha and Luz both attend alchemy, curses 101, Boiling Isles history, and Boiling Isles biology classes. Masha says They don’t have the talent for drawing glyphs or insignias for Theumaturgy and they are not interested in the scientific aspects of abomination engineering. Vee also attends some classes beside the human and demon realm exchange program specifically the alchemy, boiling isles history, and boiling isles biology classes.

Masha: I was thinking of using alchemy and curses to make objects that give a benefit but have a downside.

Luz: That sounds cool.

Amity: That does sound interesting.

Vee: Plus I can make sure nothing goes wrong by eating the curses.

Luz: So will this be a hobby?

Amity: Or a business.

Masha: I am unsure.

Luz: I think either way it would be a cool idea.

Amity: There could be a market for those.

Vee: You can do it, I know you can you are amazing.

For the first time today Masha was blushing, Vee can always get Masha to blush.

Masha: Thanks, my serpentine gal.

Vee: Anytime my sweet seer.

Veesha just remembered Luz and Amity were there but they were only looking at each other to make Veesha feel less embarrassed as this kind of thing has happened to Luz and Amity a lot. After that they chatted a bit about their classes and other events.

Masha: Oh I see some classmates from my biology class. They would love to meet you Vee, especially since I kept bragging about you.

Vee while blushing: Ok Masha.

Veesha: See you later Lumity.

Lumity: See you later Veesha.

The happy couple went to talk to Masha’s friends.

Luz: Oh I see a snack table.

Amity: I wonder what they have.

Luz locked her arm with Amity’s arm.

Luz sounding suave: Care to join me madam?

Luz wiggled her eyebrow to make herself in her own head more suave, this made Amity giggle.

Amity sounding snooty: With pleasure.

They both started giggling as they walked to the table.

They saw a variety of food such as mini rotwurst, snake ribs, pretzels, sliders which actually slide due to the slug slime based sauce in it, wild bug wings, and popcorn among other things.

Amity: Oh look Luz they have dips and thorn chips.

The thorns used for the chips came from a corn like plant though the cob looks more like a pinecone. While the isles do have popcorn these thorns are also often used for corn based food products due to the fact they have a spicy flavor.

Luz: The dips are from the human exchange program as I did told Gus about them so they can make some in class, plus the thorn chips will be great since they do have a sharp flavor.

This word play made Amity laugh.

Amity: I am glad they have a variety of dips.

Luz: Me too, I am happy there is more than sour cream and cheese dip so I can pick the bean dip, guacamole, and salsa.

They both had their plates filled their plates with food and they got some non alcoholic apple blood. They wanted to have their hands free when they move around so Amity made her plate float and Luz summoned an Oracle apparition to hold her plate.

Luz: I am worried about Gus since he is the youngest at the faculty party.

Amity: Gus will be fine, he has Ed and Emira there plus he is friends with the history teacher and Eda.

The history teacher is the looking glass graveyard keeper, Edric is the biology teacher, and Emira is the school nurse.

Luz: Yeah plus if he can take down a coven head at 12 I am sure he can handle a college party at 16.

Meanwhile Gus was the life of the party with his disco ball illusions and he brought a lot of bubble wrap for the staff. Emira had to untangle Edric from the bubble wrap. Cat, Emira, and Eileen were helping with that as well.

Luz and Amity started to mingle soon they were approached by three students. One is a pink biped demon and she has horns and fin ears she is on the illusion, abomination, and healing tracks. The second member of the group is a witch with purple hair and they are on the bard and abomination track. The third member is a witch with a dark complexion and she has long hair in a poofy ponytail, she is on the plant and abomination tracks. All three of them are in the abomination engineering course with Luz.

Luz: Hey guys.

Female witch: Nice to see you Luz.

Enby witch: You must be Amity and by the way I dig the hair.

Amity: Thanks and back at yeah.

Biped demon: Nice to meet you Miss Blight, I have to say that adjustable temperature fan you made is so wonderful I bought one for myself and my parents since Palm Stings can have drastic temperature changes.

Amity: Just Amity is fine and I have to give credit for the temperature adjusting aspect to Luz for her help.

Luz: I didn’t do much.

Female witch: I am sure you helped a lot you have the best grades in class.

Enby witch: You always help us with our class work giving us advice.

Biped demon: And it is not just in abomination engineering, you help in other classes to like in history class. You even help the teachers sometimes.

Luz: It is not much and thanks.

Amity smiled knowing there are students here who can appreciate Luz for who she is.

Biped demon: I wanted to ask Amity about those interesting gloves you have.

Female witch: And I wanted to ask about that rad hair clip.

Enby witch: I did wonder if I just saw it change into a crescent moon.

Amity: I am glad you asked. The hair clip is a new accessory I made that changes form every minute though this one is customized for me and Luz so the public market ones will be different and they may be a bit more expensive since they are like four hair clips in one.

Female witch: It is still worth the price, now I am wondering what to get for my custom one.

Amity: And these abomination gloves are for holding tools for quick access while you are working so you do not even need to get to a tol box though they are a bit heavy but we work with heavy machinery so it is not too bad.

Enby witch: Those would be so useful.

Biped witch: Plus they should handle heat better.

Amity: They should be available in a few months.

Now the three students were asking for pre orders. Amity summoned a paper to take notes for her future customers. Luz was happily smiling as she saw people who appreciated Amity’s brilliance.

After those three left Luz and Amity chatted with more students. Some asked Luz for advice for their glyph classes since they were not in the same glyph class Luz was in. The same thing applied to students during other abomination classes with Amity. Some students discussed history with both Luz and Amity and some simply thank them for saving them four years ago. By the time they were done talking to students both Luz and Amity finished their plates.

Amity: I will be back I have to go to the restroom.

Luz: Want me to get more apple blood when you get back?

Amity: Thank you that would be great.

After Amity left Luz headed for the apple blood. As she was walking she began to hear some other students whisper. They were saying things such as I thought she would be cooler since she was Eda’s apprentice, I thought she would be more amazing, well we could get extra credit if we hang around her. Luz was getting so teary eyed from their comments that she didn’t realized that the jerks who are talking about her were none of the people who actually got to talk with her so it is not like they know her. Luz got the apple blood for herself and Amity as Stringbean tried to comfort her. Amity then came back.

Amity: Thanks for getting the apple blood.

Luz sniffles: No problem.

Luz drank the drink in one gulp.

Luz: Can we please head to my dorm.

Amity quickly finished her drink sensing something was wrong.

Amity: Alright.

After discarding the cups and plates and dismissing the Oracle apparition Luz headed to her dorm while holding Amity’s hand. As soon as they got in and closed the door Stringbean telepathically told Ghost that Luz and Amity may need to have a private conversation. Ghost knew this would be an emotional talk so when Ghost and Stringbean went under Luz’s desk Ghost summoned some abomination goo to make a dome so Luz and Amity can have their privacy. Luz then hugged Amity and started crying.

Amity sounding worried: What is wrong?

Luz: Something happened.

Amity sounding panic and angry: Nobody did any thing inappropriate with you right? Because if they did I swear to titan!

Amity now had an abomination gauntlet on that had long drills on the knuckles, serrated blades for fingers, sharp ridges on the palms while it was being acidic and covered in pink fire.

Luz: It wasn’t anything like that.

Amity undid her abomination pain gauntlet.

Luz: Plus if somebody even tried to do something like that to me Eda would rip them apart in public.

Amity sounding calmer: So what happened?

Luz: As I was walking back to get the apple blood I heard some students talking about me and it wasn’t nice and that lead to a flood of bad school memories.

Amity hugged Luz even tighter. This is why Amity hates those students from Luz’s human schools so much. While Luz would be willing to confront Odalia and that moldy emperor despite both of them nearly killing her at the very least they haven’t traumatize Luz to the point that she would be unwilling to face them, but with those highschool students and others before highschool even years after Luz stopped thinking of escape routes when talking to them she still feels she should. Luz doesn’t even want to be near them despite what other things she would be willing to face. This is why to Amity unless they tried to redeem themselves or apologize to Luz she hates them as much as that moldy jerk and Odalia.

Luz: I know those things are over but I am so pathetic thinking about them.

That is the thing about Luz she is like a light house her light can save lives and make life better however she can not really shine that light on herself. Meanwhile Amity would be like a fire not as bright as light and she would consider herself not as good as Luz in that regard but even a small fire can be a welcomed lifesaving and life improving source of light, a light Luz needs right now.

Amity: Luz you are not pathetic. Luz those things will never happen again. You have students who like you. The faculty consists of Eda, Gus, Edric, and Emira among others who are on your side, and you have me who will be here to defend you no matter what. Luz you are not alone anymore.

Amity wiped away Luz’s tears and kissed her forehead.

Luz: Thanks amor(love) I just wished I didn’t ruined the party.

Amity: You didn’t ruin a thing. Plus we can still have some college fun.

Amity wanted to do something fun and college like for Luz but those activities she heard earlier are too much. Amity got an idea when she saw an apple blood juice box. Amity undid some buttons of her shirt and she put the juice box in her cleavage.

Amity trying to sound charming but is more nervous: How ab.. about a drink?

Luz was almost as red as Amity was right now.

Luz: Are you sure?

Amity: Go ahead.

Luz did this and she couldn’t help but gaze down Amity’s shirt. Amity did know this would happen but she knows Luz needs more cheering up and Amity knows she would not regret doing this for Luz. Luz finished the apple blood though she did take her time.

Luz: Well that was fun now it is your turn,

Luz grabbed a box of apple blood and stretched her turtle neck to put it in her cleavage.

Luz: It probably won’t be as good as when you do it.

Amity preventing herself from drooling: It is a lot more than enough.

Amity started drinking, it was awkward especially when Amity tried to do eye contact with Luz which made it more embarrassing, but neither of them would regret doing this for each other this night. Amity finished the drink.

Luz: Well that was fun.

Amity: Yes it was. I would like to kiss you a lot, but I wouldn’t want to do it if you are still feeling emotionally vulnerable.

Luz: I am fine with it and thank you for being concerned about me but to tell you the truth I was thinking about making out with you tonight after the party.

Amity: I am glad we are on the same page.

Luz: Let the make out session begin!

Amity while smiling: With pleasure.

They started kissing. Both of them put their hands on each other’s back and went a bit lower than that so they had the same idea. Still despite being surprised by that they had no intention of stopping.

After that they were going to sleep in Luz’s bed. Luz has some clothes that would stretch for Amity whenever she wants to sleep over so she changed in Luz’s room while Luz changed in her bathroom. After Luz finished dressing in the bathroom of her dorm she walked out and she saw Amity lying on her bed.

Amity: Come on lay down I will be your almohada(pillow).

Luz: Is there anything I can do to return the favor?

Amity: How about tomorrow night you do this for me.

Luz: I will happily be you pillow, bed, and blanket.

They both blushed from embarrassment but Luz smiled and she soon went into her bed and her head was lying on Amity’s chest much the delight of both of them.

Luz: Thank you for this honor, I really mean it.

Amity: Well thank you for being you.

Amity wanted to put her hand on Luz’s back but when she did she accidentally went under Luz’s shirt. Amity’s face was turning bright red again.

Amity: I am sorry it was an accident.

Amity tried to move her hand away.

Luz: Wait, I actually like the skin contact so you can leave your hand there.

Amity: Actually if it is ok with you I wanted to put my hand further, I promise I won’t do anything extreme.

Luz: Amity, I trust you.

Amity did put her hand up higher, and Luz realized where Amity wanted her hand to be.

Luz: You wanted to place your hand over my heart.

Amity: Yeah I did.

Luz: You are always taking care of my heart figurative and literally even while asleep.

Luz kissed Amity’s collarbone and they were both blushing after that.

Luz: I wanted to kiss your kind heart but that is the best I could do.

Amity kissed Luz on the forehead.

Amity: You are the one with a kind heart and it was more than enough.

Luz soon fell asleep. It is no surprise as everything about Amity was so calming to Luz such as her body heat, her scent, the softness and firmness of her body, the way her chest moves as she breathes, and the sound of her heartbeat. Amity looked at Luz being adorable as she slept. Amity did get a bit embarrassed when Luz mentioned soft pillows and beautiful music. If less than a decade ago somebody asks Amity what her heart is for she would say something like pumping blood or keeping her alive. But after meeting Luz Amity knows her heart has two more purposes which are expressing her love for Luz and making Luz happy. Amity kissed Luz’s forehead again and they went to sleep together.

While they may be in some unfamiliar situations sometimes and they may deal with old pains they will be there for each other to make everything better.

Chapter Text

After several years when they are both 24 years old Luz and Amity have found a way to live forever and not for their own sake but for the sake of their loved ones. Which was once almost mythical until wild magic and advancements in magic made that less rare. But for Luz and Amity they along with the Collector’s and King’s help invented a new method. While they have been looking for a way to live forever that suited them due to many reasons if they lose their other half. But the story on how they discovered it was not due to trying to live forever but to help another.

This started over a month before the tenth anniversary of Luz and Amity meeting each other. The Echo Mouse was badly injured by a wild demon, and healing magic wouldn’t have save it not even Viney knew how to save the Echo Mouse especially due to her age. The Collector arrived when he heard how upset King was but the Collector didn’t know any methods besides preserving the Echo Mouse or making a copy both options would have upset King. Luz and Amity wanted to help as King would have gotten really lonely without the Echo Mouse keeping him company when others are busy they have grown a strong bond over the years. Since a method to save the Echo Mouse didn’t exist Luz suggested they make one an idea the Echo Mosue and the rest agreed with. Some years ago Luz was experimenting with the concentration glyph combo which is a combination that is a vertical rectangle of four ice glyphs with some lines in the shape of a T above it with a fire glyph in the intersection of the T and at the other end of the rectangle there is triangle pointing downwards connecting a plant glyph with the bottom two ice glyphs. In the middle of the rectangle there was a light glyph with some circles not connected to anything else. This is a glyph that greatly enhances one aspect of a liquid at the expense of its other properties. Luz has used this with abomination goo and a syringe Amity made to test out its properties on plants only. They have earlier found out when injected they can transfer the enhance properties of the liquids. Luz has also found out there are no risk of side effects due to the effects of the concentration. So if a person needed a medicine but they were allergic to it this glyph will boost the healing properties without their allergies starting. Luz has also found out that multiple uses of this glyph do not continue to enhance a property of a liquid but they do enhance other properties so instead of using this glyph combo for one thing say a cold medicine to soothe a sore throat and a second dosage would be needed for its anti sneezing properties, however it would enhance both aspects with two of these glyph combos without the risk of drowsiness. In the abomination plant tests with this glyph they have found out that they could grant plants fire resistance, regeneration, or immunity to diseases. And these enhancements can be used for multiple things if the user thinks of something broader like an abomination’s ability to recover would include both regeneration and being able to puts itself back together.

Amity mentioned a concern with the Echo Mouse’s age. Research on recreating the bloom of eternal youth is still ongoing and it would be superficial at best although there is a potion to make somebody be as young as they look but the flower would have to be restored first. Luz remembered that a time pool can lock wrinkling oaks in time. The Collector went to look for some time pool or magic algae to make the time pool for this cure. However to both increase the chances of this working and giving it a boost they would need titan blood which luckily they still had quite a bit from King all those years ago when he did the blood test. Though Amity knows a spell to make a blood drawing painless and King said he would donate blood if he needs to. A thought the Echo Mouse appreciated. Amity told Luz this could also be the immortality method they have been seeking if it works. When they asked the Echo Mouse if they were ok with this they agreed to be a guinea pig since not only will this fix her injuries but if it works it would help Luz and Amity who the Echo Mouse is thankful for ending up giving it a wonderful home this last decade. Though two things needed to be considered as well something to prevent the dulling of the mind through the ages a trait that seems especially applicable to an echo mouse who consume knowledge. Luz suggested ectoplasm since it is associated with Oracle magic and ghosts can remember a lot. The last thing was a binding agent and Luz suggested palistrom tree sap since it has been known as an old magical binding agent since palismans easily channel magic. Fortunately unlike bile from palismans the palistrom sap had no consequences like decay and being haunted by palismans. It is also something that can be used in something magic based related to longevity though as previously stated this would have no mental or decay related consequences.

Amity made this special seven sided syringe for Luz to use the concentration glyphs on. One concentration glyph combo was to enhance the time pool’s aspect to lock time, the second was to boost the titan blood’s power boosting property, the third was to enhance the abomination goo’s recovery ability which included putting itself back together and regeneration, the fourth was to enhance the abomination goo’s self sustaining nature since abominations need neither food, drink, sleep, or even air, the fifth one was to enhance the abomination’s immunity diseases, poisons, and energy based harmed mostly heat, the sixth was to enhance ectoplasm’s ability to have a good state of mind, the seventh was palistrom sap to bind everything together. Luz administered the concoction to the Echo Mouse. The Echo Mouse did recover and was seemed to be active very quickly even the injection location healed rapidly. The Collector mentioned that he swore he saw time reverse around the syringe injection site. The Echo Mouse eye glowed and it was projecting the Collector’s past but this didn’t come from a book. They were wondering what happened and the Collector mentioned it looks like that using a glyph that enhances liquids used on titan blood which powers glyphs and also acts as a power boost enhanced the Echo Mouse’s magic so now the Echo Mouse can project the history of whatever they looked at so it is not limited to gaining knowledge from eating books. When King asked to see his past as an egg the Echo Mouse was able to show it as now it is no longer random like how a Echo Mouse’s power normally is.

The month after that they wanted to make sure the Echo Mouse was fine, during the same month the Echo Mouse tested out the limits of this immortality since the Echo Mouse gained instincts that revealed that they can survive anything or at least always recover. The Echo Mouse grabbed some glass to record these experiments from its reflection. The Echo Mouse did this to show the four who saved it that it works and as a show of gratitude. The Echo Mouse recorded itself recovering from injuries, boiling rain, and painbows, pain was also diminished to the extent while injuries were still noticeably painful it could never get to the point which it becomes crippling. The Echo Mouse found out these immortality related traits are permanent even if its source of magic is completely destroyed which also recovers just like the Echo Mouse. However it seems that somethings like poison and disease can make the Echo Mouse ill but it can never leave lasting damage, be lethal, and the duration was much shorter. It seems it is kind of like how an abomination can’t get poisoned but it can still carry a poison within itself. So while this immortality can never fail against death and it will always allow recovery it was susceptible to poisons and diseases but to a much milder extent. Other positive things about this was it was effective against parasites as they seems to be weakened whenever they tried to feed they would end up even hungrier this also applied to even other beings that tried to eat the Echo Mouse as they felt hungrier whenever they bit the Echo Mouse. This trait was especially devastation to fungi as they could not simply move away and they withered away quickly. It was as if their time lacking nutrient increased. The Echo Mouse found even deadly magic had no effect death hexes simply fizzled out as the Echo Mouse’s body glowed green the same shade as its glowing eyes. Even the Petrification glyph combo didn’t affect the Echo Mouse as that glyph paper turned itself to stone. The Echo Mouse manage to recreate by using King’s glyphs it also remembered Luz drawing it years ago. The Echo Mouse went through a lot to prove this immortality works. The other four were concerned but a demon translation spell revealed why the Echo Mouse went to such lengths. They asked the Echo Mouse to never do that again which the Echo Mouse agreed to. So it seems like the flaws with the way it works is pain, disease, and poison still can have an effect though it is much less and it is easily to recover from those.

Over a month after that and a few days after their tenth anniversary of meeting Luz and Amity are getting ready to become immortal. They are going to the Collector’s pocket dimension for this. Both of them wanted to dress the part. They are wearing Azura and Hecate outfits. This was Luz’s idea as they did pulled off some amazing stuff while wearing this about a decade ago. However their outfits are a bit different besides neither of them are wearing wigs nor have their capes on. Amity is also wearing her Grom inspired hair band and a star necklace Luz gave her a while ago. Luz is wearing her moon necklace she got from Amity and she has her Oracle charm bracelet on. Of course they are taking their palismans with them.

Luz: He should be here any minute.

Amity: You are right.

Amity started tearing up.

Luz sounding concerned: What is wrong?

Amity: I am just so happy I will never lose you after this.

Luz: I feel the same exact way and I am happy to always be with you.

They then kiss. While it is common for immortality seekers to fear death they were more concerned what death would do to their partner regardless of who dies. Fortunately after today that will never be a possibility.

Amity: You know I am always worried something would happen to you like a disease or an accident.

Luz: Well I am sorry about the accident prone part but do not worry I have no genetic diseases that could pop up my mom checked a lot when I was young remember?

Amity does know this as Camila did this after she and Luz suffered their tragic lost.

Amity: I know, it is lucky we discovered this while we are young.

Luz: Well there is a trope that is called immortality begins at twenty and we are 24 so I say we are good.

Amity: By the way I did something I hope you don’t mind with the abomination goo.

Luz: Did you refined it?

Amity was blushing.

Amity: I used abomination goo from my abomination form so it would feel like I will always protect you.

Luz: Awe that is so sweet.

Amity was happy Luz didn’t find that bad and Amity was even happier when Luz kissed her on the cheek.

Amity: There will still be things to worry about even with immortality.

Luz: I know immortality does not grant happiness. However the difference between immortality and mortality is how certain or uncertain things are. With mortality it would be uncertain who you will outlive, if your nation would fall before you do, or if you could die from a disease. But with immortality while you are certain to outlast others even nations it is also certain you will never die of disease. I mean we already outlived a civilization in a sense.

Amity: We did see the fall of an empire.

Luz: Exactly however thanks to the method to bring the dead over to our side we rediscovered we may outlive others but that doesn’t mean we are separate from them, we know we can still hug them and share meals. Plus we have spent so many nights talking about issues with immortality that we have thought of ways to overcome those issues. Plus we can get help from friends who are also immortal.

Amity: You really make everything sound better, and I can not imagine any better way of spending eternity rather than me spending it with you.

Luz: Me neither.

They kissed again.

A star shaped portal opened up and Luz and Amity walked into the Collector’s pocket dimension. King is there along with the Echo Mouse and the Collector himself. Luz has the concentration glyphs ready as Amity has the syringe with replaceable needles and the mixture of time pool, abomination goo, and titan blood. Luz smiled while she is looking at her little brother since she will get to see him be bigger than a skyscraper after today one day but right now he is still the adorable hermanito(little brother) who is the size of a human 12 year old despite being 18.

Collector: Alright now that we are all here we can start.

King: Are you two sure about this?

Luz: King if you feel like you are forcing us so you will always have family you are not. Amity and I have some selfish motivations to do this.

King: I am actually happy about that and I know this immortality works but are you two still sure?

Collector: King as somebody who has lived several lifetimes I can honestly say as long as you are not alone and you have good people in your life you will always be fine.

Luz: Come on King you need to be more optimistic.

Amity: Yes we are lucky to do this while reality hasn’t done anything cruel yet.

King: Aren’t you being a bit over dramatic Amity?

Amity: Reality is cruel enough to have a kind girl never make any friends in her home world, it is cruel enough to have a newly animated palisman nearly lose their owner the day they animate, reality is cruel enough to have somebody who is looking for family found the killers of his family wearing their remains, reality is cruel enough to have somebody imprisoned for thousands of years for something they didn’t do, reality is cruel enough to have parents that force their youngest child to give up her best friend due to blackmail, reality is cruel enough to leave a kind mother raise her young daughter alone, and reality is cruel enough to nearly cost the young life of somebody who can honestly be called the best person anybody can know.

Luz, the Collector, King, the Echo Mouse, Stringbean, Ghost, and Amity felt a bit downtrodden about this that they all know these facts are all true. This reinforced their resolve to do this more than ever to prevent certain tragedies from ever being possible.

King: You know it is crazy you are doing this before you even propose to each other.

Luz: We will, we are just working on the proposals.

Amity: The weddings will be great.

King: Weddings?

Luz: There are two realms after all.

Amity: And who says we only have to have one wedding or proposal?

The Collector: Will you invite me to both weddings?

Luz: Sure.

Amity: But you will need a disguise in the human realm.

The Collector: I know how that works.

King: It is crazy how you are becoming immortal before you even get married.

Luz: We have reasons for that.

Amity: Reasons we never have to worry about anymore after today.

Besides worrying about a tragedy befalling one of them before they make it to the wedding they had issues with the vows. For Luz it was “in sickness and in health”. Luz has some trauma related to what happens when it is just sickness due to what happened to her dad and Luz will not do that to Amity. For Amity it is “till death do you part” as that almost just happened ten years ago and she won’t inflict that kind of pain on Luz.

They began the process. Luz placed the glyphs on the abomination engineering based syringe carefully thinking about each effect she was enhancing. Before she injected it into her right wrist Luz saw that Amity was nervous. Luz used Oracle magic to make shadowy hands from her hair to hold Amity’s hands. Amity felt better Luz injected the immortality mixture that she partially created and it didn’t hurt thanks to Amity’s manufacturing skills. Amity replaced the needle, though before that Luz accidentally drew some of her own blood into the mixture. Luz put some new concentration glyph combos on the syringe. It is not like the mixture lost its potency after one use and a second application of glyphs to it will not alter it so this was fine Luz was just being cautious. Amity injected it into her own arm.

King: Should something have happened by now?

Amity: The Echo Mouse has a faster heart rate it takes about a minute for witches and humans.

The Collector: Is there a way to safely make it faster.

Luz has a mischievous smile.

Luz: I know a fun way.

Luz kissed Amity’s lips and that did the trick.

Luz: Amity did you get what would best be described as an odd flood of feelings like some instincts?

Amity: I did.

The Collector: Let us see if you can do some cool magic or if you have a new power.

Luz: I am a human, I do not have any magic to enhance.

King: You should try anyways.

Luz: Alright I will give it a go.

Luz closed her eyes and she thought she felt something.

Luz: I told you nothing would happened, and why are you all looking at me, and why am I taller?

Luz was in her titan form again, though there was some differences. Around the glyph symbol on her chest she has a crescent moon made of light, she guesses it was from her necklace though the oracle charm bracelet didn’t leave any kind of alteration to her titan form. Luz wasn’t surprised something from Amity has left more of an effect. Luz also felt taller than last time and maybe a bit curvier well she is still pretty slim but her curves are a bit more apparent. Luz guess titan powers would make somebody a bit bigger since she was bigger last time. Either way Amity’s lovestruck eyes, smile, and full flushed face showed she likes it which was all the confirmation Luz needed to know this was a good look.

Amity: Oh my titan?

Luz: Yes?

They started laughing.

The Collector: I guess you got your titan powers back.

King: Yay I am not the last titan anymore, my sister is a titan!

King and the Collector started dancing with joy. Amity then hugged Luz and started saying my girlfriend is a titan over and over again.

Luz: This may be temporary as there is a light glyph on my torso so when it is gone my powers will be gone.

Amity: Uh Luz it disappeared completely.

Luz saw that it did but she was still in her titan form.

Luz: Too bad I liked it.

The light symbol on her chest came back. Luz then started making it blink, disappear, and reappear. It was apparently completely cosmetic by now.

The Collector: This is so cool!

King: I know!

Amity: Is this permanent?

Luz: If you are worried about the horns they are part of the hat.

Luz took her hat off to prove it.

Amity: Even if this is forever I will always accept you.

Luz didn’t wanted to make Amity upset and then Luz reverted back to her normal form.

Luz: Neat I guess it is like Eda’s harpy form without the curse part.

Luz turned back into her titan form and started making glyphs, they were the same as King’s.

Luz: Hey King I hope you like sharing your glyphs.

King: I always have.

The Collector: Since you can control a part of your transformation do you think you can do other things?

Luz: I can try.

First Luz resumed her normal form and only transformed her arm, she selectively did the same with her eyes and teeth. She even selectively only manifested fur on her arms, she knows Amity will like fluffier hugs.

Luz: I guess that answers that and I wonder something.

Luz then made a light glyph and a spell circle for the light spell but she did this completely in human form.

Luz: This is so cool, and the syringe injection sight healed.

The Echo Mouse then projected how Luz healed. She apparently automatically manifested a regeneration glyph combo. The regeneration glyph combo is two ice glyphs with a fire glyph between them and a light glyph above them. Behind the glyphs and below them are nine plant glyph shaped in a circle leading back to the fire and ice glyphs. The whole thing looks like an ouroboros, maybe this glyph combo was an inspiration for it in the human realm.

Luz: This is so unbelievable. Amity you should see if you have a cool power you are the most amazing witch ever after all.

Amity blushed.

Amity: Ok I will try.

Amity closed her eyes and just like Luz she felt nothing but when she opened her eyes they gave her the same look they gave Luz earlier. Amity had her own transformation though instead of a titan it would be more accurate to call her an abomi-titan. She looked to be made of abomination goo but unlike anybody else’s even her own abomination goo she looked perfect and not runny. She has abomination eyes which she will be happy to know they match Luz’s golden titan eyes. Amity’s hair was made of different colors of abomination goo. The brown parts were dark purple, the pony tail was purple, and the lighter parts were light purple. Her hair looked more purple than pink in this form. Her skin was another story as she has bright pink skin, even in this form if she blushed it would be noticeable. Amity also has four fangs like Luz has. On Amity’s head her Hecate headband turned into golden horns four of them. Two were curved up like the head band and two were curved back like her Grom tiara. Though they were smooth and curved in design they also had spikes in contrast to Luz’s jagged looking horns though they were not sharp. Amity also had a pink fireball floating above her horns. Fortunately it seemed more like decoration than actually burning. Amity also had three bright pink crystals made of abomination goo on her head that was a bit darker than her pink abomination goo face. Amity’s attire and features are a lot like Luz. Only instead of bone like decorations and boney fingers Amity has gold colored and spike like abomination decorations and fingers. Fortunately the spikes were no more sharp then Luz’s bone decorations. Amity had abomination fur but her’s was more like Darius’s hair though less flowy. Instead of a cloak Amity had a open skirt like cloak with dark pink on the bottom edges though she is fine since she was wearing pants that look like the pants Luz has in her titan form. Unlike Luz who has has rib like decorations on her torso Amity has some half formed golden belts on her midsection. Amity’s feet had five toes instead unlike Luz’s titan form which had two. On her chest Amity had an abomination eye with a golden abomination goo frame around it and it was star shaped no doubt due to the star necklace Luz gave her which Amity is fine with as she does consider Luz her heart. Amity did felt taller but she also felt curvier. Luckily for her it was it not at Odlaia’s level. And Luz noticed these new curves as well. Amity felt better when she saw Luz’s smiling at them.

Luz hugged her.

Luz: You are so cool, you are so cool.

Amity hugged her back.

Amity: Thanks Luz.

King: I wonder why you look kind of like Luz’s titan form.

The Collector: Hey Echo Mouse can you play that back.

The Echo Mouse replayed what happened and besides showing Amity healed her syringe injection site like an abomination they saw Luz accidentally drawing blood into the syringe.

The Collector: That explains it.

Luz: Amity I am so sorry.

Amity: It is fine I guess we match now and even in what I did for you earlier.

Luz smiled knowing Amity used her own abomination form goo to make this immortality mixture so she feels like she is always protecting Luz and Luz guesses she did the same for Amity. Amity tested her transformation and like Luz it was the same when she selectively altered her eyes, teeth, “fur”, and limbs along with the abomination star in her chest.

Luz: Oh see if you can make glyphs too.

Amity: I doubt it but why not.

Glyphs did not appear but abomination goo did. Amity did not make a circle and she did not summon it, it simply started appearing in thin air like how Luz with titan magic creates glyphs.

King: It is a bit different.

The Collector: Can you do anything else with it like make light or ice?

Amity: Abomination goo is not like glyphs while I can transform them into circles and make them round I cannot produce the light spell from them.

The four of them were surprised as Amity did that. She can make spells through her abomination goo either through a circle of it or through abomination eyes.

Luz: You are now officially a cotton candy haired goddess!

King and the Collector started cheering with Luz saying cotton candy haired goddess. Amity was getting embarrassed and her hair reflected it, she can apparently adjust it even color wise, she guesses this parallel Luz’s desire to have big hair as now Amity can have the hair she wants. While Amity and Luz would be embarrassed if they started getting worshippers they have dealt with similar issues in the past.

Amity: I guess it is official my titan.

Luz chuckled while blushing.

King: Do the weh.

Luz weh first and she did have the same power as King. Amity joined in and she breathed out a stream of pink fire that Luz couldn’t replicate.

The Collector: I guess Amity has the fire breath and Luz has the sonic weh.

King: Next you should try altering the weather.

Luz made boiling rain and Amity ended up making shale hail. This does make sense like Amity’s fire breath as shale is made of clay and mud that is hardened somewhat like her abomination goo.

Amity: That was unexpected.

Luz: That fits you though it is like you abomination gauntlets, made of goo but can hit really hard.

Amity: Awe thanks.

Amity gave Luz a peck on the cheek making her blush.

The Collector: Since you two can selectively transform can you grow wings?

Luz: That sounds awesome.

Luz tried and she did grew boney bat wings from her back and she started flying enjoying her new wings. Fortunately she didn’t have to flap too much as they were partially using magic to fly. Amity joined her and she grew wings that looked more feathery less bat like from her arms. Amity was thankful she had full range of arm use even while she was using her wings to fly. After flying through the air together they landed.

King: Want to try for a tail?

They tried but nothing happened so King will be the only titan or titan based being with a tail.

The Collector: I want to test something can you two use as much magic as you can?

They did and the Collector noticed how Amity’s abomination goo also affects his magic like Luz’s glyphs. It seems while Amity may not be able to make glyphs her magic is still titan magic. They seemed to make an endless amount of abomination goo and flowers from plant glyphs. While King and the Collector were distracted Amity listened to Luz’s heart, she was worried it became smaller due titans having small hearts proportionally but Luz is fine. Luz thought Amity just wanted to listen to her heart not that she would ever reject Amity doing this regardless of the reason.

Amity: I wonder why we are not running out?

Luz: Me too.

The Collector: Well since the immortality goo you made is supposed to keep you the most alive and for magical beings they are most alive when they are full of magic I guess you can’t run out.

Amity: So we have infinite magic?

The Collector: Well unlimited, it is not infinite. It is like the difference between making a giant explosion and never running out of making explosions. So while you can never run out of magic it is not like you can move very big things at once but you can do it eventually.

Luz: Thanks for the analysis.

The Collector was getting bashful.

The Collector: I am happy to help since I haven’t done much.

King: You have done more than enough Collector.

The Collector and King hugged.

Luz. Oh I have an idea.

Luz placed a plant glyphs and out came a small Palistrom tree.

King: How did you do that? I thought you could not use the plant glyph for that kind of tree?

Luz: Well I am a titan now and Palistrom trees come from them.

Amity: That is my genius girlfriend.

Luz: I am glad they can never be endangered again and they can probably help a lot with your work. Oh I have another idea.

Luz made a blood glyph combo which consists of a diagonal rectangle facing towards the middle with three plant glyphs in it as it is missing a section. Another diagonal rectangle consisting of two ice glyph has a corner facing the missing section of the plant glyphs. Below them is a tear drop shape with an ice glyph and a light glyph in it. Out of this glyph can which can make different kinds of blood including blood types and blood from creatures that do not have iron in their blood Luz did something truly incredible. She made a miracle she made a blood glyph combo that makes titan blood.

The Collector: Impossible.

King: Yay no more needles.

Amity: Luz you beautiful miracle maker.

Amity gave Luz a big smooch on the lips leaving her dazed.

Luz: I hope this can help us with any jobs you need.

Amity: I am only thinking of how proud I am of you let alone any thoughts about work.

Amity then had an idea of her own and she whispered it to Luz. Luz immediately agreed to it. Amity turned into her abomination form and Luz did the same to her oracle shadow form. Luz didn’t have Oracle charm bracelet in her titan form but she has discovered the shadow form glyph combo which looks like an umbrella of five plants glyphs above a light glyph that connects to all of them as the plant glyphs are connected to each other. Luz covered her shadow form in glowing eyes to match Amity though she is thinking of trying it with glyphs later. Luz and Amity’s shadow and abomination forms were different due the fact both of them were the size of skyscrapers. They then merged forms. They were perfect together as Amity’s crystal decorations were in front of Luz’s witch’s hat. Their light and fire orbs perfectly merged. Their horns also went well together without any horn getting tangled with another one. They were also surprised that they can share each other’s vision in this form instead of having eyes facing the same direction.

Lumity: Well how do we look?

The Collector: You look amazing and I am so happy for you King!

The Collector hugged King and spun him around.

King: What are you taking about?

The Collector: This means besides me you will have other giant friends when you become Titan size.

King had not thought about this as he simply wanted to still have family around and now he can have family he can look in the eye even when he is a giant. He cried happy tears as he honestly thought he would never have that even with his adopted family since he is the last titan. Lumity smiled seeing how happy King and the Collector are. Luz and Amity then defused.

Luz: Hey Collector I wanted to ask you something.

The Collector: Sure.

Luz: Me and Amity are a human and witch who can transform not beings pretending to be a witch and a human. Right?

He understood why she was asking.

The Collector: I have centuries worth of experience with this and I will honestly tell you your human and witch forms are your natural and default forms you are not pretending to be a human and a witch it is like your abomination and shadow forms. It is a transformation into something else that is not your normal form.

Luz: Thanks that is a loud off of my mind.

Luz then got an idea and she whispered it to Amity and she bit her approval. Luz then called for Stringbean to fly to her hand in staff form.

Luz: Hey King want to body swap so you can use a full titan’s power early?

King squeals with joy and Luz used Stringbean to perform the body swapping spell. However nothing happened.

Luz: I know I did not mess up.

Amity: Try it with me.

Luz did and the body swap spell worked. Luz did undid it with Stringbean.

Luz: That is weird, I have another idea can you two go into my mindscape?

Amity and King wondered why but they agreed. Luz did the mindscape spell first on King and nothing happened but with Amity it worked and there was no problem. Luz then summoned Amity back out.

Luz: That is really weird.

The Collector: I think due to how the batch of the goo you two made it bonded you like that so body swaps and mindscape travel can only work with each other.

Amity: Well that is a good thing since I do not think this immortality can defend us against mind based attacks.

The Collector: Actually it could based on the recovery part about your immortality.

Luz agree to tested it out with some memory tweezers she had to go get. Amity was hesitant but Luz assured to her that she will teleport Amity into her mindscape if she needed to. Luz used a memory of a bad timing of a sneeze while she was eating a sandwich. When she tore it and it fixed itself back together and with fire it was simply fireproof. Luz then put the memory back in her head.

Luz: Well we already knew we would deal with memories for eternity but no matter how many bad memories we have we will always have more good memories just as with a mortal life even if you get some bad expedites you should focus on the better ones.

Amity: Well said my amor(love).

Amity then kissed Luz. After a while the now immortal couple went back home after testing a few more things out which included Luz acting a bit dog like and Amity is more cat like apparently this derived from titans having animalistic traits that are in common with both.

Stringbean and Ghost got the door open as Luz and Amity walked in while making out before teleporting to the shower. They were testing out how their fangs affected their kissing and it was not affecting their kissing at all. Their palismans decided they will need to give them some space so they are going to sleep in the green house for the night. They then started talking.

Ghost:Meow(I am really amazed that they did it).

Ghost saw Stringbean crying.

Ghost: Meow(What is wrong Stringy)?

Stringbean: Hiss(oh Ghosty I am so happy on the day I hatched what was supposed to be a lifelong bond almost ended in less than a day but now I will never lose that lifelong bond with her nether of us will since the four of us are ageless).

Ghost put her arms around Stringbean and she hugged her as she licked her cheek.

Ghost: Meow(I know).

They then snuggled as they went to sleep. Meanwhile Luz and Amity went to their bed after showing together. Both were in their new forms. They placed their head based accessories on top of each other’s on a table. Fortunately Amity’s abomi titan tiara perfectly fits Luz’s titan witch hat. Amity was resting her head on Luz’s chest, Luz has dismissed the glowing symbol so it wouldn’t hurt Amity’s eyes. Amity was purring as in literally doing that. Amity was enjoying Luz’s fluffiness and enhanced curves in her titan form just as Luz enjoyed Amity’s curvier and squishier aspects in her abomi titan form. Luz saw that Amity had a look of bliss on her face like all she wanted out of life was to hear Luz’s heartbeat. In a certain sense that is all she wanted out of her immortal life.

Luz: I am so lucky I get to enjoy your cute face for all eternity.

Amity: I could say the same to you.

Luz remembered something embarrassing which made her blush but she has something to say to Amity.

Luz: Thanks for earlier in the shower helping me make sure I was not king and queen in this form.

Amity: You did the same for me to make sure I was not genderless but even in these forms we are still the same gender.

Amity remembered something and she sat up as did Luz.

Amity: While we are on the subject of exams with the x ray spell can I see your heart to make sure it hasn’t shrunk of course you can see mine.

Luz: Amity we have been into each other’s mindscapes, we have swapped bodies, and we have become more physical with each other and I am not just talking about we did today so yes you can use that spell to see if my organs are fine, Also can you check on my lungs I do not know if they became sideways like a titan.

Amity nodded yes and she cast the spell on both Luz and herself, after this they can see the inside of each other’s torsos. While they both know this spell for years they never tried it for fear if they get gruesome nightmares about bad things happening to each other. But now they know they can always recover this fear has been mitigate it of course they will do all they can to make sure the other stays unharmed. Both Luz and Amity looked normal for their respective species though later they found their blood can become purple when they want it to or if they are injured. Amity looked intently as she wanted to make sure every artery and vein Luz had near her heart was fine and she is in perfect health Luz saw Amity was healthy as well. Luz tried to break the ice as they stared at each other.

Luz: Uh your bile sac is pretty. Sorry that was dumb of me to say.

Amity: Luz there are people on the isles with exposed brains or bones, complimenting internal organs is not that weird. And your heart is perfect.

Luz blushed when she heard heart get complimented, Amity can see her reaction and this is more than just Luz blushing.

Luz: Thanks, and I guess there are a lot of ways to see organs on the isles like injuries, a bad invisibility spell, and naturally being transparent or something else so I guess this is the best way to see them. And I ams happy I haven’t damage my heart with unhealthy food.

Amity: You have a great metabolism and you exercise a lot of course your heart is healthy.

Luz: Also I am happy me being with you has not caused any stress damage to your heart.

Amity: Luz you are good for my heart, honestly it probably would have been a lot more stress damaged if you didn’t enter my life and the day of unity was delayed by many years. Honestly with how high strung I was, being in that coven, and family drama my heart would have probably be dying from the stress I would have had. I thank you for making sure that does not happen.

Luz: I will always do my best to make sure you have a good life.

Amity: I know you will. Still it is a bit odd seeing your heart, I know you are just partially invisible but it almost seems like I could put my hand on it.

Luz: You want to? You can do that since it won’t hurt me.

Amity raised her hand and placed it on Luz’s heart this made it race a bit. Amity then started tearing up. And Luz looked at Amity and she saw she was crying.

Luz: Amity what is wrong hermosa(beautiful)?

Amity: I am so sorry that the day we first met because of me it was almost cut out.

Luz wiped away the tear and placed her hand on Amity’s chest above her heart.

Luz: And I am so sorry I almost broke yours when I thought I should stay back.

They then kissed, their kiss lasted longer than normal.

Luz: That lasted a while and the x ray spell is still going.

Amity checked that ten minutes passed.

Amity: Ten minutes passed and I am pretty sure neither of us took a breath.

This is true as they no longer require air they will be fine and even their hearts were unaffected by the lack of air as apparently their bodies will always be perfectly oxygenated due to their immortality.. Luz was not surprised as she knows titan hearts can beat on their own for a long time though in her and Amity’s case they would be fine if theirs stopped or were even destroyed not even their magic would be affected by this. Though they would never let that happen even if they can survive something of that nature.

Luz: I am not shocked.

Amity: Still I am surprised that our heartbeats were not bothered by the lack of air as their rhythm didn’t change.

Luz had an idea. She started nibbling Amity’s ear. Fortunately Luz was good at this and there was no worries of her new fangs injuring Amity’s ear.

Amity: While I am not complaint why did you do that.

Luz: Sorry I wanted to see if emotions affected your heart rate more than biological related matters and I was right.

Amity: You always had an effect on my heart more than anything else.

Amity then disabled the x ray spell.

Amity: We both know we can be fine without air but we should both breath so we do not worry each other.

Luz: I thought you would say another reason is we like to see each other’s chest move as we breathe.

Amity smiled bashfully as Luz is right. They then had a laugh and they drifted off to sleep not that they need to sleep anymore but falling asleep together is still so wonderfully nice.

They both had strange dreams they were in their mindscapes but they were not alone. Luz saw Amity made out of abomination goo that will be named nicknamed Abomity and Amity saw Luz made of lights and shadows in her’s that will be nicknamed Siluzette after silhouette.

Inner Luz: I see an abomination you in my mindscape while also seeing your inner you.

Inner Amity: I see your inner you and a shadow version of you

Abomity: Well I can talk to you in this abomination me.

Siluzette: And I can talk to you with this one.

Abomity: This is so confusing yet it feels as natural as when I see out of my many eyes in my abomination form.

Inner Amity: Do you have an idea?

Inner Luz: I do, Eda has this with the Owl Beast and absorbed Palismans do something like this.

Siluzette: Maybe this happened because you used your abomination form’s goo and I use Oracle magic when I accidentally put my blood in it.

Abomity: We did always wanted to be together forever.

Inner Amity: And now it is more literal than ever.

Inner Luz: Hey can you know what I am thinking?

Abomity: No. I guess that means we still have our privacy.

Inner Amity: Do you think these extensions of us can manifest like the Owl Beast can?

Inner Luz smiled.

Siluzette: There is only one way to find out.

While they were asleep abomination goo manifested around Luz and shadows started manifesting from Amity.

Abomity: Now we can always protect each other, I bet we can even use this for communication if we wanted to.

Inner Luz: That sounds wonderful. We knew after today we will always be a part of each other’s warts or at least blood and now we a part of each other’s mind forever. But we are soulmates so it is fine.

Inner Amity: While others who had this are called curses this is an incredible blessing that we will always be together.

Inner Lumity/manifested Lumity: And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Inner Luz kissed Abomity and Inner Amity kissed Siluzette.

In a very distant future while they are in bed Luz wakes up. She smiles looking at her Amity who has not aged a day since neither of them has. Luz kisses Amity and Amity wakes up as red as a tomato.

Luz: It is so cute how even though we have been together for a trillion years you still blush like that.

Amity: You do know we have been together for longer than that.

Luz: I know, so what do we have to do today?

Amity: We have some family to visit in the afterlife/ghost dimension the when we get back we need to summon some friends who wanted to see that new menu item in Bonesborough. Then a business meeting for the new product we made last month, then we are seeing King and The Collector for dinner before we see a movie together.

As they years went by Luz and Amity refined the method of the dead being able to be in the living world they discovered years ago along with a way they could visit the afterlife dimension. That project took more than a lifetime to make but they had more than enough time to work on it and while they do like visiting so many departed love ones they are still not moving there as they simply loved the Boiling Isles too much and they are glad it is still around since the Collector can easily make sure the sun never goes super nova. Luz and Amity got ready to go after breakfast on Stringbean and Ghost.

Amity: You know I never once regretted becoming immortal with you not for a single second batata.

Luz: Me neither sweet potato.

They then kissed and flew off ready to see what they next day will bring them with the same amount of enthusiasm as when they were mortal.

Regardless of how much time passes Lumity will always be Lumity.

Chapter Text

The spring after Luz finishes her four years of college she and Amity are getting ready to enter a tournament the Dyad Tournament. It is like the Bonesborough Brawl but it will consist of teams of two people. Naturally Luz and Amity are eager for this. It was still some hours before noon and they were getting ready. Amity wanted to take extra precautions for Luz’s sake as well as her own so the both of them are wearing clothing that consists of witch’s wool and abomination goo that they created together. This will not be a product that they will be selling due to the cost of witch’s wool but they can get more than enough of the materials for outfits for themselves. Their outfits are not as monotone as expected since they can get a few different colors depending on the abomination goo in it without sacrificing protection. Besides her sneakers Luz is wearing the protective clothing she and Amity made which in her case consists of blue pants with pockets, a light long sleeved purple shirt with four pockets, and an open dark purple vest that has eight pockets, eight on the outside and eight inside. The shirt pockets are for the four basic glyphs and the vest and pants pockets are for glyph combos. Luz also has a fanny pack for potions and she has her Oracle charm bracelet on. Besides her boots Amity is wearing her protective clothing that includes black pants, a pink shirt covered by a dark purple buttoned up shirt, and purple gloves. She has a belt that has several containers for abomination goo which include the one she currently uses, the one she kept from years ago, and the two she and Luz received for abomination classes that look like abomination heads. She also has on her back a different version of the abomination goo container Alador uses and this one is a gift from him. Although hers is like four smaller tubes instead of one giant tube like his. Of course they have their palismans with them as they will need them to fly there.

Amity: Alright we are all set are you ready?

Luz: Yes I am.

Amity saw Luz had her hands over her stomach and knows what this means.

Amity:You are nervous.

Luz: So are you.

Amity is clutching her pants and as Luz stated this is a sing she is nervous.

Amity: True.

Luz: I just hope I do not mess this up.

Amity: While we are nervous we are the Grom Queens who blasted Grom apart while dancing.

Luz: Yeah you are right.

Amity: Plus we did well in the qualification battle.

Luz: You make a fair point.

(Flashback from their qualification battle).

Due to too many participants everybody had to participate in a battle to both cut the numbers down and to qualify for the Dyad Tournament. The battle Luz and Amity entered was not what either of them expected. As they saw some people they had bad times with years ago. It was two female former Guard Captains specifically the one from the knee with Kikimora and the one who captured Luz and Eda before the day of unity, they both recognized them by their voices.

Luz: Hey you are the one Amity told me about how you dropped Amity into a ravine and how you called her along with Eda and King freaks! I have one question were you ordered to drop her?

Guard Captain of the Knee: No, I was bored waiting around.

Amity: And you are the one who captured Eda and Luz before the day of unity and tried to send Luz to that monster!

Guard Captain of the precinct: I was just following orders, I was not at fault.

Their replies left Luz and Amity quite upset.

Luz: You are going down!

Amity: You are going to pay for that!

Luz and Amity decided to defeat them as quickly as they could since they didn’t want to spend any time near them more than they had too. Luz used the mud arm glyph combo to restrain the Guard Captain she was fighting. As the Guard Captain was freaking out by this spell Luz used an ice glyph to cover the ground in ice making the Guard Captain slip. Luz then rushed quickly and as soon as the Guard Captain fell Luz placed five fire glyphs on her back. After they were activated the Guard Captain was propelled high into the air and was flying around.

Amity quickly blasted the Guard Captain she was fighting with abomination goo and Amity formed them into nets and chains so she was too restricted to even move. Amity then used another blast of abomination goo to make the Guard Captain slip. Amity then made an enormous abomination arm ending in a large fist come out of the ground to punch the restrained Guard Captain like how Amity punched Tibbles years ago. The Guard Captain went higher and higher into the air as the abomination arm kept stretching. Soon the Guard Captain being rocket propelled crashed into the other Guard Captain and they both started falling. Luz used plant glyphs and Amity used abomination goo to cushion their fall so they were unharmed but really shaken by this.

Luz and Amity won their qualification battle and the two Guard Captains never went near them again. While Luz and Amity wouldn’t get revenge on any former members of the emperor’s coven they had issues with or seek out fights with them that doesn’t mean there isn’t any bad blood between them with some specific former members so in a fighting competition they may act more harshly against them though they would still not needlessly hurt them. While it is easier to forgive somebody who has wronged you it is another story when they have wronged a loved one. They are not the only ones who are like this. Some people who had issues with that coven would even sometimes work together in a competition to make sure the former emperor coven members would lose out of spite. Though honestly some people expected much worse than this. Darius specifically was surprised there weren’t any murders happening due to past actions. While that coven was tricked the worst out of all the covens they still have many members who have done unforgivable acts and unlike the other tricked covens they did have some awareness of what they caused even if they were lied to about the reason. So there is still some resentment even eight years later.

(End of flashback).

Amity: Now we should get going.

Luz: I know we will do good today.

Luz hugged Amity and placed her hands on her back.

Luz: I will always have your back.

Luz lowered her hands and Amity went red in the face.

Amity: Is that why you have your hands on my butt?

Luz: Well it is called a backside, so that is why I have my hands on your lovely butt.

Amity’s face glowed even redder, and she hugged Luz while placing her hands on Luz’s rear making her blush.

Amity: And no matter what I will always save your cute butt.

They then started giggling and they gave each other a kiss. They then flew off on their palismans. They soon reached where the tournament will be held. It was in a newly built arena that was built where the day of unity happened. Some people were against this idea but if a university can be built where that castle used to be and since the people of the Boiling Isles do live fights whether participating or watching them it would be a good way to actually unite people. Luz and Amity landed and they saw some familiar faces with their palismans Clover and Waffles.

Luz: Hi Hunter, hi Willow.

Hunter: Hi Luz and Amity we can’t wait to see you compete.

Amity: It is ashamed you two will not be competing.

Willow: It would be a lot of fun but I rather save my energy for Flyer Derby.

Hunter: Plus we do not have as many magic combinations when it comes to fighting together as you two do.

Willow: True and I know Amity alone is a lot to handle in a fight since the time we were the finalists in the Bonesborough Brawl. You really won that fight.

Amity: Thanks though it was a very close match, but besides being glad about winning that match I am happier to have found out I could probably take down Terra by myself if she ever starts a fight with us again.

Luz: She would be in trouble due to both of us.

Amity: You are right batata.

Hunter: Well we should find our seats.

Willow: Good luck you two.

As they walked away Luz and Amity started to see their families arrive. Vee in her human form was riding her cockatrice palisman Pollita and she had Camila with her. Masha was flying on their palisman Fangz. Luz ran to hug her mom and Vee.

Luz: I am glad you made it.

Vee: I wouldn’t miss it as even though I do not like confrontations I have to cheer on my sister and her girlfriend.

Amity: Thank you Vee, we appreciate it.

Vee: No problem.

Masha: I am so excited to see what rad spells you two will do in this tournament.

Amity: It is going to be awesome.

Luz: And wild.

Masha: I expect nothing less than a fellow graduate of the University of Wild Magic.

Luz: Are you sure will be fine with this Mami?

Camilla: I will be fine, I have seen you deal with worse and uglier, and moldier. Plus you are not alone.

Amity: I promise I will keep her safe.

Camilla: I know.

Luz: Also since palismans are not allowed can you look after Stringbean and Ghost whenever we are about to be in a match?

Camilla: No problema(trouble).

Camila then hugged Luz and Amity as she along with Vee and Masha went to their seats.

Next was Eda, Lilith, Hooty, and Raine. They brought their Palismans Owlbert, Mike Socks, and Fiddle with them.

Hooty: I am so excited about this, I know you will do great.

Luz: Thanks Hooty

Eda: Hey you two I can’t wait to see you win this.

Lilith: Neither can I.

Amity: Wow the both of you are agreeing and it involves a competition the Boiling Sea must have frozen over.

This brought a chuckle out of Luz and Raine.

Eda: Hey our best students are going to win this competition of course we would agree with that.

Lilith: I doubt there is anybody that can match your skills after all look at who your teachers are.

Raine: Before you two could argue about whose student did better we should not make them nervous.

Eda: Do not be such a worrywart Rainestorm.

Lilith: You are correct, Luz and Amity I hope I did not put too much pressure on you.

Luz: It is ok we will be fine.

Amity: Just make sure these two do not start a fight in the seating section, the only fights are supposed to be on the battle stage.

Raine: Will do.

Lilith: We are not that bad.

Raine: I was your teammate during our Grudgby days.

Lilith and Eda blushed in embarrassment as Raine is probably the person who is most suited to handling them when they are arguing due to years of experience.

Hooty: Well win or lose you two will definitely be the cutest couple in this tournament.

Amity: Thank you for the compliment.

Luz: Hey where is King?

Eda: He is getting a ride.

Lilith: We should hurry to our seats.

Raine: She is right it may get too crowded.

Eda: I get the message and you two kick a lot of butt.

Lumity: We will.

The four of them headed inside and as they did King arrived with his special guest. He was riding on a flying star with the Collector. King leapt off to hug Luz as Amity gave the Collector a head pat.

The Collector: I am so excited to see this competition.

King: I know my sister and future sister in law will win.

Luz and Amity both blushed.

The Collector: I have brought so many snacks for this, I can’t wait to share them.

The Collector showed them this disk that looks like a moon, and he opened it to make it look like a crescent moon and inside of it was a mountain of snacks.

King: And I can’t wait to eat them.

Amity: Just remember to watch the tournament.

The Collector: All kinds of magic are going around I cannot wait to have so much fun seeing this!

King: It is going to be full of violence and mayhem of course I am going to see it. And will there be fire?

Lumity: You betcha.

King: Yipee.

Amity: And Collector you remember what we talked about?

The Collector: Be careful with my magic so not to cause any problems.

Amity: You got it good boy.

Amity patted the Collector’s head again, he really likes this.

King: I will be on my best behavior too.

Luz: I know you will.

She gave King tummy rubs and the two kids went in to meet up with Eda, Raine, Lilith, and Hooty.

Next were the Blights and some guests. Alador arrived on his palisman Ratador. Edric was on his butterfly palisman Scales. His girlfriend Eileen was riding on her orange beholder like palisman Eyesaac. Emira was riding her moth palisman Silk and next to her is her girlfriend Mary riding her winged ram palisman Wolly. Amity ran to hug her dad and her siblings while Luz waved at some of her former classmates.

Alador: Hi sweety.

Amity: Hi dad.

Alador: Is the backpack fine it is not too heavy or cumbersome?

Amity: Relax dad it is fine.

Alador: Sorry I do not want to interfere in a competition you are in again.

Amity: It will be fine.

Edric: We have a surprise to cheer you two on.

Luz: Awe thanks.

Amity saw the potions he had in a bag.

Amity: I hope it won’t backfire.

Eileen started mumbling.

Luz: Thank you Eileen that is reassuring.

Amity accepted Luz’s words for what Eileen was saying. Besides Edric Luz is the only one here who can understand her well. Amity is not surprised as Luz has always been good with languages, Luz can even understand others like Barcus and Eberwolf.

Emira: Don’t worry I will make sure the cheering will not get him or anybody injured.

Edric: Hey.

Amity: Thanks.

Emira: No problem baby sister.

Amity crossed her arms and she blushed while a bit angry, Luz held her hand and this calmed her down.

Mary: Good luck you two.

Lumity: Thank you Mary.

Mary: Make sure you crush the competition.

Despite Mary usually being meek she gets a bit fiercer during competitions.

Alador: As much as I enjoy chatting I think we should go so they have more time to get ready.

The others agreed as they waved goodbye to Luz and Amity.

The last two guests they know of arrived. Darius teleported himself and Eberwolf.

Darius: Hello you two I am hoping to see a good show from you two, especially you Amity.

Amity: Trust me you will get it.

Luz: You it will be a spectacular show.

Luz used a spare plant glyph she had and made a shower of petals.

Darius: Well at least you are a better showman than Adrian.

Darius took a petal that landed on his shoulder off with his abomination hair. While Eberwolf was sniffing at the petals.

Darius: We better find our seats.

Eberwolf started growling.

Luz: The Collector brought snacks so you should be good with food.

Eberwolf started growling again.

Luz: You are welcome.

Darius: I wish you two not to break anything unless it is an opponent.

Luz: Uh thanks?

Amity: And do not worry I will put what you thought me to very good use.

Darius: I am sure you will.

Eberwolf started growling.

Darius: Yes Eber I will make you a seat if you cannot see the stage, especially if it keeps you from climbing on me!

With the last of the people they know who will cheer them on from the seating section Luz and Amity headed into the arena.

It was a marvelous sight this arena that has been created. It was completely different from that old horrible building that existed years ago where a massive tragedy almost happened. The arena was like the Roman Colosseum, they got some ideas from Luz when they wanted a good looking battle arena. Close to the top of the colosseum were billboards from several sponsors including Hexside, The university of wild magic, and Blight industries. The participants would be fighting on a platform in the middle. The spectators were protected by these new forcefield generators Alador made with Amity and Luz’s help since they were both fellow abomination engineers. It was stronger than the old ones he made, it will allow people to pass through without a problem so spells and potions effects would be blocked but not people, and it was transparent and colorless so everybody can see the other side clearly. There was also few other systems built around the arena. There were abomination based cushions so somebody can be thrown off the platform without any worries of injuries and a ventilation system to deal with anything lingering in the air as well as fire prevention systems. Luz and Amity saw the security force who will be making sure there would be no trouble makers. They were being lead by Steve and his fellow security members are Amber, Katya, and Derwin. Luz and Amity waved at them as they were going to their seats. Before and after matches participants would spend their time being spectators if they wish so they tend to have some preselected locations to sit down at. Perry Porter was there as the announcer.

Perry: Ladies, gentlemen, and others as the announcer I am proud to say that the first match of the Dyad Tournament would start in 10 minutes. As you know this event is being broadcasted all over the isles as the first fighting event to ever be broadcast to the entire isles from skull to swampy toes. And here is the referee who is a great showman, the head of the human realm exchange, and a talented illusionist Gus Porter.

Gus arrived arrived in a puff of smoke wearing referee attire, whistle included, and he made several duplicates and nodded them all to everybody in this arena before the duplicates disappeared.

Gus: Hello there I thank you for the honor of being the referee here and I will give a fair and impartial judging to all participants.

Perry: And we have healers on standby in case anything unfortunate happen, being led by accomplish healer Cat.

Cat waved at everybody as did her fellow healers Tinealla Nosa, and Bo. Cat gave an extra wave to her boyfriend Gus making them both blush.

Perry: For the first match we have Luz Noceda and Amity Blight whose team is called Lumity vs two members from the well known flyer derby team the Emerald Entrails Skara and Viney whose duo name they picked is Skiney.

The reason extra time was given was for both teams can strategize. Luz and Amity were talking amongst themselves after they left Stringbean and Ghost with Camilla. Their opponents asked their fellow Emerald Entrails member and palisman carver Hunter to watch over their palismans. Both future opponents went to separate places so they could strategize.

Skara: Boy I feel a bit more nervous than usual.

Viney: Well we are fighting some friends unlike in flyer derby match. But we will be fine, and it is not like they are traitors since our match was picked at random.

Skara: Anyways I am sure we will do well we are Emerald Entrails if it is one thing we have it is guts.

Viney: You have that right my pretty Minstrel.

Skara blushed since Viney called her by her pet name.

Skara: It is too bad Willow and Hunter declined participating.

Viney: They were not interested and Willow rather save her energy for flyer derby practices so we will have to play harder in their behalf.

Skara: You are right.

Despite seeing how upbeat Viney was Skara noticed Viney seems to be feeling a bit troubled.

Skara: I know I can miss some obvious things sometimes but I can tell something is bothering you, so what is it?

Viney: Shouldn’t we have a tougher team name than the ship name Luz helped us with?

Skara: What is it my strong Liger, do you not want our team name to be our couple name?

Viney was blushing and feeling a bit worried.

Viney: No that is not it at all, and I am happy to be on a team with you. I always have been.

Skara blushed even though she knew Viney was not trying to be romantic.

Skara: Awe I love it when you are accidentally romantic.

Viney blushed once more.

Viney: Well no matter what happens there will be no hard feelings.

Skara: And who ever loses will cheer for their friends in their next match.

They both nodded in agreement and kissed each other when the match was about to start. Naturally Luz and Amity gave each other a good luck kiss before the match started as well.

Perry: Our first participants have entered the battle stage.

As they did some floating screen made with abomation engineering appeared in the sky above the battle stage. These existed so if for some reason the participants could not see each other it wouldn’t mean the same thing for the audience members and the participants could not see what they are missing either due to the angles and placements of the screens. The screens were inverted so they would show what is happening on the opposite side so the audience members or viewers would not miss a thing.

Gus: Alright here we have the rules of the Dyad Tournament. No killing or attempting to cause permanent harm. Once an opponent is incapacitated and can no longer fight or is off of the stage they cannot be attacked and they cannot interfere either. Palismans are not allowed. Summoned beings are allowed to join in. You cannot simply teleport your opponents away. You can teleport yourself around the stage and only outside of it if it is before you touch the ground around the stage. Flying is allowed. As long as one team member is still in fighting condition while the other team is completely defeated both team members are considered the victors. Any questions?

Lumity and Skiney nodded no.

Gus: Let the first match begin!

Gus set a firework illusion into the air as he moved away from the stage in a puff of smoke.

Skara summoned her harp. Viney made a spell circle and fired a blast of snow. Amity summoned an abomination block that attack. Skara sent a wave of sound to collapse the abomination. Luz used a plant glyph to provide support to the abomination to prevent it from collapsing. Skara used bard magic to move the snow to go around the abomination. Amity made an abomination gauntlet from some of the damage abomination and Luz slapped a fire glyph on it and Amity started firing it over and over. The flying abomination fists melted the snow while also putting Skiney on the defensive. This ruined Skiney’s plan to temporarily cover Luz and Amity’s eyes with snow.

Perry: We have just witnessed a spectacular opening of attacks, combinations, team work, and recycled magic.

Luz: That was a nice reuse of snow.

Skara: Thank you.

Viney: The fiery abomination fists were really cool.

Amity: Thanks it is actually based off of something Luz and I first did years ago.

Perry: It is wonderful to see good sportsmanship in the first match of a historical tournament.

Luz had a glyph combo with her that consisted of two ice glyphs below two fire glyphs with a large light glyph between them. It was a sonic boom glyph. Luz fired a blast of sound from it separating Skara and Viney from each other. Viney made a spell circle fire some large icicles so the same thing would happen to Luz and Amity. Skara fired a blast of electricity at Amity. Luz used a glyph combo that had three connected horizontal plant glyphs with an another plant glyph above the middle plant glyph at the bottom and three diagonal fire glyphs above it and a fire glyph at each side of teh row of plant glyphs. Luz used this glyph combo to make a round piece of shatterproof glass. Luz used that glass to shield Amity and she reflected the electricity at Viney who blocked it with an ice wall. Amity had her abomination throw a glob of goo at Skara and Viney made a shield with healing magic to block it. Luz summoned an Oracle apparition to help deal with Skara. Skara tried to fire blasts of electricity at it but it could predict the path of the lighting bolts to dodge. Viney tried to use a healing spell that acted as a tractor beam to take Luz’s charm bracelet away but Amity summoned an abomination in the shape of a snake inspired by Luz to block it. Amity threw a fireball at Viney to break her concentration but Skara used bard magic to move the ice wall Viney made to block it.

Perry: We have witnessed a good demonstration of covering for your teammate from both sides of this exciting match.

Skara: You two are going to be hard to beat.

Luz: I hope so we have been fighting alongside each other for a long time.

Viney: Yeah that makes sense you two did started dating before we were even members of the Emerald Entrails.

Amity: Actually we worked together before Grom though that was the first time we started combining magic together, magic like this.

Luz slammed six light glyphs together to make a bright flash of light and Amity used the abomination goo from the abomination snake to focus the light towards Skara and Viney. Viney used beast keeping magic to enhance her hearing and Skara was staying still to hear her surroundings as bards do have good hearing. They were being cautious of their surroundings but Luz and Amity were not going to attack. Luz had another glyph combo this one was two horizontal plant glyphs with two horizontal ice glyphs below them further apart than the plant glyphs and a fire glyph connected to the ice glyphs in a v formation. Luz made a stream of mud that divided the stage in two and Amity made an abomination wall from between the mud separating Viney and Skara from each other, the same was true of team Lumity. Even if the wall was brought down as key could not cross it as the abomination goo and the slippery mud are still quite a trap. Skara and Viney could see again to see what has happen.

Perry: Team Lumity has completely separated both teams from their teammate. While they cannot see each other our audience can still witness the fight from both sides. What a bold strategy they have came up with. Will this work or will this backfire the suspense is as intense as a manticore stalking its prey in a documentary.

Skara: I am fine I know how tough Viney is.

Luz: And I know how capable Amity is.

Viney: Well at least I know Skara is smart enough to be safe by herself.

Amity: Just like I know Luz is a lot stronger than she looks.

Viney summoned Puddles and had Puddles take down the abominations Amity has made. Amity summoned her giant three eyed golden abomination to completely restrain Puddles. Viney used beast keeping magic to make Puddles spit out spiders to wrap up Amity in a web. Amity summoned several abominations in the form of cats to hunt down the spiders. Meanwhile Skara used bard magic to summon from a glowing cloud several trumpet playing cherubs made of light that blasted lighting from their trumpets. The oracle apparition dodged their attacks not by seeing the future but by sensing the area so it would not get too preoccupied with one of them. Luz made her oracle apparition ignite itself with purple fire. The Oracle apparition clawed through the cherubs of golden light and the cloud above them.

Perry: We have seen quite a display of usage of summons. While each team member of both teams are not with their teammate they are far from being alone.

Viney: You have a lot different abominations you could use.

Amity: Luz and I really like cats so I have a lot of practice making those.

Luz: I hoped you liked the show since you have not seen everything I could do to with an Oracle apparition.

Skara: Yes and I am looking forward to it, and I have a few non bard magic spells to show you too.

Viney encased the abominations Amity had in ice although Puddles was still stuck. Viney threw a role of bandages at Amity confusing her. Viney used beast keeping magic to put an energy cage around Amity. Amity could not attack through the gaps but she could still summoned an abomination next to Viney who quickly encased it in ice. Viney then put a dome of energy around Amity. Amity could not summon an abomination outside the cage so she made one within the cage and had it go underground, when it popped up Viney also trapped this one in ice though barely in the nick of time. Viney then used beast keeping magic and healing magic to bind Amity’s hands with the role of bandages. Amity didn’t need to use her hands to use abomination magic. Amity sent another abomination to go under ground. This time instead of an abomination coming out she sued something quicker as a hand made of abomination goo came out of the ground and threw Viney off of the stage. Viney manage to catch herself with a shield she made with healing magic but she was still above the area that is outside the battle stage but as long as she stayed on her shield she was fine. Meanwhile Amity made a giant abomination in the shape of an otter lift up the dome from the inside. Amity then made a bat abomination and had it carry her out of the dome and rip the bindings from her hands. Amity threw a fireball at the the abomation that was trapped in ice earlier to thaw it out. Then she had it throw its head at Viney, Viney made another shield with healing magic to block it. Though she blocked it she was still very confused by this attack.

Viney: You are very stubborn.

Amity: It is a trait me and Luz have, and so are you.

Viney: Thanks and while those abominations were cool you will not knock me off of here.

Amity: I already did what I needed to do.

Viney wondered what she meant.

Viney then noticed that she was slipping off of the shield she was holding onto as when the abomination head hit her second shield it splattered and covered her first shield. Viney slipped and she fell and she was no longer on the stage, she has lost this fight.

Meanwhile a while back just as Viney first froze an abomination Luz and Skara were fighting a great match of their own. Skara used some magic she learned from Bo and she turned the fire on the oracle apparition into snow. The oracle apparition flung the snow at her causing her to close her eyes to wipe the snow from her face. At the same time as that Luz ran towards her oracle apparition with some glyphs in hand. Luz also summoned another oracle apparition to go underground. By the time Skara could open her eyes she saw Luz put a plant glyph on the oracle apparition’s tail, an ice glyph on one arm and a fire glyph on the other, and a light glyph on where its non visible eye was. The apparition glowed many colors and was not just a shadowy ghost. Skara found the apparition so much more difficult to deal with it. If Skara fired lightning the apparition would encase its arm in ice to deflect it. If Skara fired a sonic blast the apparition will stab its tail into the ground to make a tree grow to block the sonic attack. From its fiery hand it shot fireballs forcing Skara to convert them into snow and make sure she did not get hit by snowballs making her unable to play her harp. Whenever Skara even tried to look at Luz directly the apparition will use the light glyph to make a flash of light blinding her. Skara did not know what to do as she was on the defensive and she couldn’t attack Luz. Skara had to deal with the apparition as it was heading towards her. Skara used bard magic to telekinetic freeze the apparition in place. Luz then manipulated the apparition’s bandages to grab Skara’s harp and toss it. Skara then used a telekinesis spell to catch her harp but the apparition was heading towards it. Skara used bard magic by whistling to restrain it again. The oracle apparition coughed up another apparition to grab the harp. Skara used her other hand to restrain the new apparition with bard magic by snapping her fingers. The apparition Luz sent underground popped up next to Skara and she immediately punched it on reflex. This broke her concentration and the spat up apparition hid the harp out of view so Skara could not retrieve it. Skara decided she had to deal with Luz. Skara whistled at the apparitions pushing them away with bard magic as she charged at Luz. Skara used bard magic by whistling to cover her hand in electricity so she can stun Luz. When Skara was close to Luz she used Oracle magic to make a snake out of shadows come out from her shadow to scare Skara making her stop. Luz made another one from Skara’s shadow to wrap around Skara’s legs distracting her and keeping her in place as a third one also from her shadow grabbed her wrist with its toothless mouth and made Skara stun herself with her own bard spell. Skara fell over.

Gus: The first contestant to lose a fight is Viney, she has fallen outside of the stage.

Skara was sad about that but she will not give up.

Skara: You know this is not enough to stop me.

Luz: I know.

As Skara was trying to get up Luz placed a glyph combo consisting of a circle with light glyphs arranged in an upside down triangle each connected via a zig zag to a fire glyph with a pant glyph right in the middle of all six glyphs into the toothless mouth of the shadow snake that scared Skara. It was a paralysis glyph so when it bit Skara’s leg she couldn’t move. However she did not give up as she continued to whistle blasts of sound. Luz had the underground Oracle apparition pick her up so she will not be blasted away. The glyph apparition was also acting as a bodyguard while the spat up Oracle apparition carefully grabbed Skara and placed her outside the stage.

Gus: Skara has been defeated by being placed outside of the stage the winner of the first match is team Lumity.

Gus used illusion magic to make fireworks and send the message team Lumity is victorious.

Amity sent away the abominations she made and she turned the abomination wall into a bridge so she and Luz meet up to hug each other while kissing. They jumped for joy that they won. They then went to check on Viney and Skara. Viney was unparalyzing Skara. Luz had an Oracle apparition give Skara her harp back then Luz dismissed all of the Oracle related entities she summoned. Team Skiney congratulated team Lumity on a good match and they did the same in return. The four of them went to their seats happily chatting.

While Luz and Amity had a great start it is only the first match of the Dyad Tournament, there are more matches that are also exciting in store for them.

Chapter Text

Luz and Amity went to their seats and they have a whole crowd waiting for them. They saw their palismans, Stringbean held a Lumity sign with her tail while Ghost has a number one foam finger on her tail made out of abomination goo. They rushed towards their owners and nuzzled them.

Eda: I knew you would win.

Lilith: It is a clear fact that they would win.

Eda: Yeah Luz was so overwhelming in that fight.

Lilith: Amity sure had perseverance in that fight no matter the spells that were used against her.

Raine: This was a team effort do not let this boasting become a competition based on who was better.

Eda: Ugh, fine Rainestrom.

Lilith: You make a compelling point Raine.

Raine: You two were great out there.

Luz: Thank you.

Amity: We appreciate it.

Lumity: But we can agree she was better.

This caused laughter and groans within their group of friends.

Hooty: They are so adorable, and you did so good while fighting together. Hoot.

Lumity: Thanks Hooty.

Mary: First off Amity you did amazing while never giving up and you two are the kind of people who would insist on the other winning right?

Lumity: How did you guessed?

Eileen started mumbling.

Edric: No Eileen, Emira and I did not teach them how to synchronize while talking.

Emira: It did not take long for them to naturally do that.

Luz: What can we say, we complete each other…

Amity: In more ways than just sentences.

Lumity: Plus we can be on the same wave length when we want to.

Edric and Emira: You two were so cool during that match.

Lumity: Thanks.

Darius: Amity you have done a fine job of sculpting abominations during battle.

Luz: That is my Amity.

Amity started blushing.

Amity: Thanks but I just started doing those to impress Luz.

Alador: Well no matter the reason you have done well making them and finding ways to overcome being limited by your opponent.

Eberwulf started growling.

Luz: Amity he said he likes the shapes you turned those abominations into.

Amity: Thank you.

Vee: You two were really great and you were able to beat them without causing any harm.

Luz: Well they are our friends.

Amity: Plus certain circumstances helped us.

Masha: Luz I got to say your Oracle magic working with glyph magic was so cool.

Luz: Thanks, though you have some cool combat skills with Oracle magic as well.

Masha: True but you know that is not Vee or mine’s kind of scene. By the way cool job making a snake with a paralytic bite without actually using venom.

Luz: Thanks, and Mama what is your opinion?

Camilla: It is so sweet how you two protected each other, and you made the spooky ghost look so colorful.

Collector: I agree that glyph ghost thing was so amazing, and it was so strong.

King: Yes Luz you and Amity really commanded your army in that fight, I am so proud of you two.

King got tear in his eye.

Collector: Do you want to play with toy soldiers tomorrow?

King: That sounds great.

Amity: Just keep the game in your pocket dimension.

Luz: Try not to cause too much harm on the battlefield.

Collector: Yes Amity.

King: Sure thing Luz.

Collector: By the way do you two want pretzels with mustard?

Luz: Sure!

Amity: That sounds great.

Collector: Regular mustard or honey mustard?

Luz: It is ok we will take one of each,

Amity: And split the other half with each other.

Collector: I can give both of them to you, I have a lot in here.

Lumity: No we will go with our idea.

Kings: In that case I will have one of each.

Collector: Two pretzels with honey mustered and two worth regular mustard coming up!

The Collector started handing out pretzels.

Willow: Amity you sure were amazing, I expected you to make weapons in this fight.

Amity: Just because I am good at that doesn’t mean I neglected the basic principles of abomination magic.

Willow: Yeah you can make abominations as easily as ever.

Amity: Well I got better thanks to Luz.

Luz: It was mostly just playing with her abominations and her making different ones.

Hunter: By the way Luz I do not think I have seen you fight like that before.

Luz: What can I say even after all these years I am still a wildcard.

Luz pulled out a plant glyph to make petals as confetti as a show of theatrics.

Hunter: Yup, you are still you even if you find a new way of fighting.

As everybody was getting rid of the petals except for Hooty who ate them Skara and Viney arrived to reunite with their palismans.

Luz: You two were amazing out there.

Skara: Thanks Luz, you and Amity were cool too.

Viney: Though in the end you two put up a better fight.

Amity: You both still did an amazing job keeping us on our toes until the very end.

Willow: Skara you just wouldn’t give up in the end that was really inspiring.

Skara: Thanks but you know I didn’t want to disappoint my girlfriend.

Viney: I would not have been disappointed, you lasted longer than I did.

Hunter: And Viney I got to say you were really tenacious trying to restrain Amity, and from my old field experience that is saying something.

Viney: Thanks but I knew this would only delay her at best, I wanted to check up on Skara.

Skara: Awe Liger.

Viney started blushing.

Viney whispering: Not now my Minstrel!

Amity: Well it is still cool that you tried since even the Collector has trouble restraining me.

The Collector while eating a pretzel nodded completely in agreement as did Luz, Willow, and Hunter. What Amity said was no mere boast but simply facts as she did resist his magic twice.

Luz: By the way is Puddles ok?

Viney: Puddles was fine as soon as Amity sent away the abomination and thanks to her I won’t have an extra hard time giving Puddles a bath.

Skara: I would also like to compliment you two on your combos making the fire gauntlets and plants to support the abomination.

Amity: That reusing snow idea was great.

Skara: Thanks that was Viney’s idea.

Skara noticed Viney seems distracted.

Skara: What is wrong?

Viney: I was just wondering if they have enough healers.

Skara: I am sure they do.

Amity: Plus there are healers here who can help if things go bad.

Luz: You know who will be great to have here to help with healing Aster Rhodes.

Viney: I know him he is the Minotaur student at Hexside who is on the illusion track.

Luz: Yeah he sometimes asks me about mythology in the human realm.

Amity: Plus he also asks Luz for tips about art.

Luz: He asks you too, you are a wonderful artist too sweet potato.

Amity while blushing: Thanks batata.

Skara: It is too bad he is most likely studying for exams due to exam season at Hexside.

Suddenly they started hearing Me. Porter speak.

Perry: The first of the second set of matches is team Lumity vs the Banshees who consist of Boscha and Amelia. The match is in ten minutes.

Luz: Well we got to go prepare for our match.

Amity: See you guys later.

Skara: Good luck.

Viney: Go and kick butt!

Both Lumity and their friends waved goodbye at each other. Meanwhile Boscha and Amelia are preparing.

Amelia: Are you ok Boscha?

Boscha: Well I hate to say it but I am a bit nervous about this match.

Amelia: It will be fine.

Boscha: Just make sure I don’t go overboard and hurt them.

Amelia knows this isn’t just about Boscha worrying about ruining the more positive relationship she has with Luz and Amity now. Amelia knows Boscha is actually scared of hurting Luz and resulting in Amity getting angry. Though she also has this fear to a lesser extent in regard to Luz if she hurts Amity.

Amelia: Don’t worry I will make sure even if I have to make a wall of plants to stop your attack.

Boscha: Thanks, I really mean it Amelia.

Amelia: I know and no problem captain.

Boscha: By the way whether we win or lose I do have a celebration in mind tonight and more than a few exercises is that clear vice captain?

Amelia is glad that Boscha has been stressing out less about competitions. However Amelia is more excited for tonight as she knows what kind of celebration Boscha has in mind and it will be a work out and a very fun one for them both. They shared a deep kiss before the match starts as did Lumity. Time was up and the match is about to start.

Perry: Both team Lumity and the Banshees have entered the stage.

Gus: Alright we are all clear on the rules.

Both sides nodded to confirm that they do.

Gus: Great the match will now begin.

Luz: Let us have a fun match.

Amelia: It should still be cool.

Amity: And no going overboard.

Boscha: Understood Blight.

The match started Amelia summoned some vines to attack team Lumity. Amity and Luz moved out of the way and when Amity jumped she made a skateboard out of abomination goo and was riding it over the vines. When Amity did a kick flip Luz put a light glyph underneath it. Boscha summoned and threw some Grudgby balls that were on fire at Amity but Amity summoned a bat made out of abomination goo for Luz. Luz placed an ice glyph on it and she was batting the flaming Grudgby balls back at the Banshees. Boscha caught one and she was using it as a shield as Amelia used a large vine as a shield. Amity then used this moment to kick her skateboard at Amelia. Amelia blocked it however Amity’s attack was not done yet. Amity detached the wheels of her abomination skateboard and she flung them at Boscha during this Amity also activated the light glyph temporarily blinding Amelia. Luz then used this glyph combo which consisted of ice glyphs on opposite sides with a large plant glyph in the middle with a fire glyph below it on the vines. This was the poison glyph combo and the poison Luz made was a herbicide withering the vines. This is what Luz meant when she and Amity can give Terra some trouble.

Perry: Folks we are witnessing something grand as all the years I have commented on sports and events I have never seen such expert usage of multiple sports in a fight or this many sports in a fight.

Boscha: I got to say Luz you have improved blocking Grudgby balls.

Luz twirled her bat a bit before dropping it and picking it back up.

Luz: Baseball helps a lot, and you still as scary as every in a Grudgby match.

Boscha: Thank you for that.

Amelia: I also want to say Amity that skateboarding was so cool.

Amity: Thank you very much Gus and Luz have been helping me with palisman riding while standing so that helped my skateboarding skills, also you have improved your control over vines.

Amelia: Thanks for noticing.

Boscha and Amity were at a stand still as they were throwing fireballs at each other. Amelia summoned a plant with teeth and eyes. Luz dropped the bat and she pulled from her fanny pack an invention Amity made a while ago. A reusable potion bottle. It is made of abomination goo, it has a weighted bottom, and it folds like a flower bud. When a potion is poured into it after flipping the cap open it is fully closed and cannot be open until activated. There is a feature that has a built in timer so after being tossed it can explode at the right moment depending on how the timer is set, and it will always land face up due to the weighted bottom. The abomination bottle also has abomination eyes to indicate what kind of potion is in it currently based on color. Gold means something explosive or weaponized, blue means it inflicts a condition, green means poison, white means something that has a utility effect, purple means it creates something complex, and pink means some kind of enhancement. The one Luz has is a blue eyed one. Luz tossed it at the plant and the plant was affected by a splash of lead-foot potion that made it too heavy to move. Amelia then sent some vines underground to attack Luz from below. Luz jumped out of the way and she pulled out a white eyed reusable abomination bottle. Luz pointed it at the vines and she fired from it a splash of a sticky glue that trapped the vines and Amelia could no longe properly control them. Amelia then started to shoot streams of water at Luz. Luz threw down a purple eyed reusable abomination bottle and out from it popped what looked like a giant cotton ball that absorbed the water. Boscha summoned some more fiery Grudgby balls and threw them at Luz. Luz hid behind the giant cotton ball and thanks to the absorbed water and the cotton ball being soft it completely blocked the Grudgby balls and put them out. Boscha decided to help Amelia after she put a wall made of fire up to block Amity from Luz. Luz put out the wall of fire with a pressurized water glyph combo which was the water fountain glyph combo with a fire glyph at the base of the two upper ice glyphs in the middle and there was also and extra ice glyph at the bottom with a curved line connecting to the water fountain’s fire glyph. Amity then shot a stream of fire that encircle both Amelia and Boscha.

Perry: We have seen quite the showing of those reusable abomination bottles from Blight Industries and some interesting potions vs well utilized plant magic.

Boscha: You had Luz advertise for you?

Amity: What? I give her the best don’t you and Amelia do that for each other?

Boscha was reminiscing about when Amelia made plant based potions ingredients for her and Boscha would give the better potions to Amelia.

Boscha: Fair enough.

Amelia: Those reusable potion bottles sure are something.

Luz: You should get Boscha some.

Amelia: That is a good idea, thanks.

Luz: What are friends for.

The fight resumed. Boscha threw some potions that became some large tentacles ending in claws. Amelia summoned giant vines and combined with them with the tentacles. Amity shot a stream of fire and Luz used the sand glyph combo to help her. The sand glyph combo is the glass combo without the fire glyphs at the sides. Luz and Amity shredded the tentacles and vines with superheated glass. Fortunately they would only resort to this if Boscha and Amelia were far enough away from Lumity’s target which they were. The tentacle vines have collapsed and crashed into the forcefield around the platform.

Perry: Viewers here and in other locations we have witnessed some extraordinary combinations of magic as well as the resilience of the force field protecting the audience.

Boscha and Amelia nodded at each other, both of them are going to fight in melee combat. They both rushed towards Luz and Amity. Amelia made a thorn covered vine to attack Luz who used the mud arm glyph combo make an axe out of the mud arm, after all Jean-Luc can turn his arms into weapons so Luz can use they glyph combo to replicate that. Luz was using it to chop the vine. Amelia then used plant magic to make a wooden staff, Luz used a plant glyph and an ice glyph to make two baseball bats. Things were even more heated up between Amity and Boscha. Boscha went in after using a spell to turn her nails into talons. Amity dodged and Boscha turned the nails on her other hand into tentacles to grab Amity’s forearm. Amity then covered her hand in pink flames and Boscha let go and turned all of her fingernails into flames. Amity then had a large fiery arm come from the flames on her hand that pushed Boscha back. Boscha then ran towards Amity and avoided the arm. When Boscha was close to her Amity turned into flames and started teleporting around Boscha. Boscha then made some fireballs and had them float in the air and fired in all directions near her. Amity was able to skillfully dodge them all while transforming into pink flames.

Perry: Both sides seem to be evenly matched. How will this go as it is a battle of flames and wooden weapons.

Luz: I would never have expected something like this from you.

Amelia: Boscha thought it would be cool.

Luz: It absolutely is.

Boscha: I am surprised you are sticking with fire spells, are you scared of using abominations against me?

Amity smiled and covered her hands with gauntlets made of abomination goo.

Amity: Try it.

Boscha threw a glowing green potion at Amity, the same one she used to melt her gauntlets years ago. However nothing happened.

Boscha: What happened? It worked last time.

Amity: I have found ways to overcome that weakness, though I have other methods to deal with it.

Amity has found a way to prevent her gauntlets from melting by making them either stickier or have an outer corrosive coating though both together works best. She is glad Edric knew how to make that potion. After unsummoning her gauntlets she then made new gauntlets out of snow and mud demonstrating her other ways to avoid that potion.

Boscha: You really hate losing.

Amity: While I didn’t lose during that I wished it was that simple. Then again maybe that is why I overcame this problem.

Boscha was confused about what Amity meant.

Boscha: Have you figured a way to deal with this? Amelia now!

Both Boscha and Amelia covered their mouths and noses with masks and Boscha had the sleeping nettle potion she used years ago. Luz covered half her face with vines and flowers from a plant glyph and Amity used abomination goo to make a mask for herself. Amity then incinerated the sleeping mist and shattered the bottle by firing a mud gauntlet then Amity incinerated its contents.

Boscha: You really did find a way to deal with that.

Amity: The same things will not work on me again, I can’t let them.

The reason Amity has counters to these tactics is over the years whenever a spell or something magical either beat her or gave her a hard time Amity would later find a way to counter it. While it was easy to think this was due to her being competitive or a bit obsessive this wasn’t the case. If something can beat her then it could get to Luz and hurt her or worse. Amity will never allow that, not again, never again. Luz and Amity decided to end things. Luz grabbed a reusable abomination bottle with a sticky potion in it then she placed a guidance glyph combo on it. Which is four diagonal plant glyphs connected by a line pointing at a light glyph that is within another circle. This glyph combo gives a homing effect to anything it is put on, even on melee weapons as it guides them. The abomination bottle went behind Amelia and she used a wall of vines to block the sticky blast. Luz then said spicy toss and she was ready to throw a fireball with a fire glyph. Amelia fired a stream of water at Luz. Luz tossed the fireball at the ground and she made a pillar of ice from an ice glyph. The water collided with it and due to the forming ice and splash back Amelia was trapped in the ice.

Boscha: I will thaw you out.

Boscha used a spell to give her shoes bat wings made of energy so she can reach Amelia and protect her from Luz.

Amity: No, you won’t.

Amity then summoned flames around Boscha that created a pink bubble of energy trapping Boscha. Boscha was already trying to break free so Amity shook the bubble up to make her dizzy. This gave Luz enough time to make a sleeping nettles plant with a plant glyph which she used to knock out Amelia.

Gus: Amelia has been rendered unconscious it is now two vs one.

Boscha broke free and was about to head for Luz but Amity’s hand was covered in pink fire again but this time a fiery hand floating in the air grabbed Boscha. Amity used the fiery hand’s thumb to lower Boscha’s mask. Luz then used a wind glyph combo with the sleeping nettles she was holding and she blew its scent towards Boscha.

Boscha: Wow you two really are a great team, better than we were, and those moves were pretty smart Amity no wonder you were the captain before … I… was.

Boscha then fell asleep.

Gus: Team Lumity has won their second round, they will be heading towards the semi finals.

Perry: To all the viewers with us we have seen team Lumity’s wonderful team work utilized to defeat their opponents a perfect example of supporting one another to win. Do they have it in them to reach the finals I am as eager as you are.

Amity thawed out Amelia while Luz used a smoke glyph combo which was a fire and plant glyph to wake them up. Fortunately for them Luz has figured out how to make the smoke have different smells and in this case it smelled sweet like burning crab apple wood.

Luz: Are you two ok?

Amelia: I am a bit cold.

Boscha made a fireball in her hand.

Boscha: I will warm you up.

Luz: Sorry about that.

Amelia: It is fine.

Amity: Boscha how are you doing?

Boscha: Pretty good. I can at least say it took a lot of work to beat Amelia and you two needed to work together to beat me so I say it went well. Now we are going back to our seats.

Luz and Amity waved goodbye at Boscha and Amelia who waved back. Boscha then used her free arm to put it around Amelia and hug her to make her feel warm quicker. Luz and Amity smiled at each other and they held hands as they walked back to their seats.

Now Luz and Amity can take a short break before the semifinals.

Chapter Text

Luz and Amity sit back with their friends.

Luz: Hi we are back.

Amity: Did you like what we did?

Lilith: I am so proud of your creative uses of fire magic, well done.

Eda: Luz I have to congratulate you on mixing potions, trickery, and a little bit of chaos in that fight.

Luz: Thanks Eda.

Amity: I am glad I have put those fire spells you taught me to good use.

Edric: You were awesome with those potions Luz.

Eileen started mumbling.

Luz: Yeah that wool one was as fun as it looks.

Emira: You were really cool Amity and to think you had trouble with a simple fire spell less than ten years ago.

Amity: Emira!

Mary: I am surprised how well you handled that abomination melter potion.

Darius: Yes you did show great refinement in your skills to stop your creations from dissolving.

Alador: I must say I am still amazed on those reusable potion abomination bottles. Both for their craftsmanship and how they were utilized.

Lumity: Thank you.

Viney: You two kicked butt! You were so awesome!

Skara: True most witches could not match Boscha in a fire throwing match.

Luz: Well Amity is not your average witch.

Amity starts blushing.

Amity: Awe Luz stop.

Hooty: So adorable, and I know you two will win this couples tournament.

Amity: It is not exactly a couples tournament.

Luz: But thank you for the encouragement.

Eberwulf started growling.

Luz: Yeah that wool potion was inspired by a creature from earth.

Masha: You were really great with those potions.

Luz: Thanks but I had the Oracle apparitions brew them for me, I find the ingredient gathering process more fun.

Masha: I usually do the opposite since I like the witchy feeling of brewing them myself. Of course I have my snaky gal help me with them.

Vee: Masha cut it out. The mud axe thing was cool it reminded me of Amity using abominations.

Luz: While I got the idea from a different source I will say I wouldn’t have done as well if it wasn’t for Amity.

Amity: I can say the same to you.

Willow: I got to say Luz you surprised me with how many ways you can deal with plants, I will have to be careful if we spar.

Luz: In that case you have to be really careful as I have more ways to fight against plant magic than just what you saw.

Hunter: So are you two going to fight a bit differently in every match?

Amity: Well that is obvious based on who we are fighting.

Luz: And we still have some different tactics in reserve.

Lumity: But yes we will have a different way to fight in every round.

Hunter: That is awesome.

Lumity: We know.

Camilla: I am not much for fighting but you two make it really exciting.

Luz: Thank you mama.

Raine: You know Luz and Amity you really remind me of Eda and Lilith during our Hexside days.

Lumity: Thank you for the compliment.

King: I think you should have used more explosion potions but I like the axe fighting.

Collector: And the fire magic was so cool, I didn’t know you can use fire magic like that.

Luz: Well an axe is good against plants.

Amity: I can’t take all the credit but I do believe I found ways to put them to good use.

Perry: Both audience and participants we will now have our scheduled lunch break and then after a short period the semifinals will start.

Viney: Well we are going to get lunch.

Skara: See you before the semifinals starts.

Edric: Yeah I am heading with Eileen for lunch.

Emira: Same with me and Mary.

Those three couples left on their palismans.

Darius: I am going out to eat, I do not wish to have a meal in some bleachers.

Darius teleported to go to a resteraunt. Eberwulf called in a flying beast demon so he could hunt his own lunch.

Eda pulled out her’s and Raine’s lunches from her hair and of course she has one for King. Lilith brought lunches for her and Hooty. Vee made her and Masha’s lunches while Masha brought some potions for Vee to drink. Alador had the abomination butler make his. Hunter made lunches for himself and Willow.

Camilla: I brought empanadas.

Luz: Chicken or beef?

Camilla: Both together.

Luz: You are the best mama.

Collector: Can I try a human realm ones?

King: I want one too, they are tasty.

Camilla: I brought plenty, Masha can you summon the extra I left at Vee and your’s place?

Masha gave a thumbs up while they were drinking and they used their palisman Fangz to summon the bag of empanadas.

Amity: They will be a great addition to what I made for Luz and I.

Amity summoned two lunch boxes both Azura themed. They both had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, boiled griffin eggs, and some cookies.

King: Those cookies look nice.

Collector: Can we try one?

Amity: I made extra.

Amity summoned a bag for them. Though she won’t tell them that the absolute best ones she made are for Luz only.

Collector: Does anybody want pizza bagels?

King raised his hand as did Lumity, Veesha, and Camilla.

Camilla: Thank you, I had a light breakfast.

They enjoyed their lunches. And soon Gus popped over.

Gus: Hey guys I wanted to talk with you before the semi finals started.

Hunter: Glad to see you.

Willow: We missed you.

They then heard a growling sound.

Masha: Dude, did you have any lunch?

Gus: Just a small one with my dad since I wanted to talk with you guys.

Vee: You should eat something.

Luz: We have empanadas.

Amity: And cookies.

Collector: And a lot of pizza bagels.

Gus: Thanks guys and I got to ask so many questions about those matches you two had.

Lumity: Ask away.

Gus: So Luz you made that elemental oracle apparition with glyphs?

Luz: Yes I did I have practiced with one glyph before I started using many. It helps if the glyphs are placed in different locations to make things easier.

Gus: Fascinating, now Amity your reusable potion abomination bottles were incredible.

Amity: I am glad you think so they are new and a bit expensive but I think they are worth it.

Gus: Judging from the positive whispers I heard I say they are. Now speaking of potions the wool one was interesting.

Luz: Thanks it was originally a potion to make a wall of finger nails but I tinkered with it to make wool which makes sense since an important protein in them is the same thing in different forms. Plus I thought wool would be nicer than finger nails.

Gus: Well that is a very interesting innovation you made and Amity you were amazing with the fire magic which I know we have seen.

Amity: Yeah Lilith showed me some fire spells and I have been putting them to good use.

Gus continue to chat with them while eating. He has so many comments and question about the matches. It looked like he was holding it in as he was the referee and he could not immediately ask Luz and Amity questions.

Perry: To both audience members and participants the semifinals will start soon which will be team Lumity vs team Mix Tracks consisting of Jerbo and Matt Tholomule.

Luz: Well that is our cue.

Amity: We will see you after the match.

As they walked away they saw Emiry, Edleen, Skiney, Darius, and Eberwulf return. Meanwhile Matt and Jerbo are discussing about their plans. Gus talked with some of the others as he still had a bit of time before the match starts.

Matt: This is going to be a piece of cake.

Jerbo: I won’t count on it.

Matt: Luz doesn’t have her palisman and my construction magic should be enough to withstand her glyphs. Plus you know two tracks and Amity only knows abomination magic.

Jerbo: She may have studied one track but I am pretty sure she knows a lot of magic from more than just that track, honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew magic from all nine tracks.

Matt: I say it is in the bag plus if you really feel that way I do have power glyphs there is no rule against that.

Jerbo: True just don’t make Amity mad.

Matt: I know that much, those emperor statues really showed not to get her angry as she practically turned them into lava. It is sort of amazing you can rebuild things where those statues once were after what she did. I think she used some kind of acid too.

Jerbo: I am glad we agree on that and we should get going the match is about to start.

As the Mix Tracks headed to the platform Lumity kissed each other again and they headed towards the platform as well.

Gus: Alright since you four know the drill we will get this fight started.

Matt: Good idea Augustus, I cannot wait to win.

Jerbo: Hey remember this is just for fun.

Luz: We will have fun.

Amity: When the two of us win.

Gus: Let the semifinals start!

Jerbo makes an abominations but Amity easily rips it apart. After the abomination is destroyed Jerbo makes a spell circle to create vines to entangle Amity. Luz fires some ropes made of energy from the crystal ball in her charm bracelet restraining the vines. Amity fires abomination goo at Jerbo but Matt made an invisible wall of stone to block it. Luz uses oracle magic to see where the wall is and tells Amity. Amity makes a giant abomination arm grab the invisible wall and toss it. Jerbo and Matt are surprised by this so they combine their magic to make a wall of abomination goo, plants, and stone hiding behind fog made by illusion magic. Amity makes two spell circles. From one spell circle Amity fires corrosive abomination and from the other spell circles she fires a stream of pink flames. Luz helps her by using a stream of purple fire from her crystal ball charm and a blast of fire from a fire glyph. Their combined attack easily destroyed their wall. However Matt and Jerbo were not simply waiting. Together they made a giant spiked hammer made of abomination goo and vines for the handle with the head being made of a block of stones with spikes covered in thorn covered vines. Amity and Luz combined their magic to defend themselves. Luz made a forcefield with oracle magic and a wall of ice since her other glyphs that can make defenses are at risk of a breach from team Mix Tracks’ magic. Amity also helped by making a forcefield with fire magic and a dome of abomination goo. Jerbo would not be able to disrupt her dome. When the giant hammer was swung it hit the multilayered dome and it shattered. The vines on it caught fire as the stone was melting due to Amity turning the abomination goo for the dome corrosive.

Perry: We have seen some amazing back and forth from both sides as they have combined magic both for offense and defense how will both sides move forward from this?

Luz: You two have some great team work.

Amity: Though we have pretty good teamwork as well.

Matt: We are still going end up the winners and you two will be the losers.

This sort of triggered Amity as her eye glowed pink since this may remind Luz of some bad memories.

Amity: DO NOT CALL HER THAT!

Amity made two pillars of pink flames erupt near Matt.

Matt: Alright my mistake ma’am!

Jerbo: I did warn you earlier.

Luz: Everything is fine hermosa(beautiful).

Amity calmed down.

Amity: Alright I am good.

They resumed the match. Jerbo and Matt decided to gain some control over the battlefield. They started to make some stone walls and hedges to trap Luz and Amity. Luz and Amity have some counter measures to being boxed in. Amity used slippery abomination goo to slide around their walls. Luz did the same by using ice from ice glyphs to skate around the platform. Matt and Jerbo saw their idea did not work so they started to add some traps. Jerbo made vines from the hedges to ensnare team Lumity while Matt made some pitfalls. Luz made ice pillars and ramps using multiple ice glyphs to go over or around their traps as Amity made platforms in the air that she could step on or fly around on to avoid any traps. Luz then made a cage of ice to trap Jerbo and Amity trapped Matt with one of those abomination platforms she made float in the air.

Perry: It seems the Mix Tracks attempt to control the battlefield has failed and will they be able to escape these traps or are they finished?

Jerbo: I think this is game over.

Luz: You guys are doing great.

Amity: Don't be so pessimistic Jerbo.

Matt: Things are not over yet.

Matt broke out of the abomination goo by scraping it off with the edge of a stone wall. Matt then made a large cloud of mist with illusion magic. Luz and Amity lost sight of each other as Matt freed Jerbo. Matt then used illusion magic to make himself look like Amity and Jerbo look like Luz to ambush them. They both soon found their targets.

As “Luz”(Jerbo) walked forward Amity fired abomination goo at him destroying the illusion on him.

Jerbo: How did you figured it out?

Amity: Her footsteps sound different.

Meanwhile “Amity”(Matt) walked towards Luz and she used the pressurized water glyph combo to spray him with water nullifying his illusion.

Matt: You used Oracle magic to see through it didn’t you?

Luz: No, you cannot capture the beauty of how Amity walks.

What both Luz and Amity said were true they have many methods to identify each other by the way they would they could even identify each other by smell. Amity used an abomination to distract Jerbo as she hid in the mist Matt made. Luz used a stealth glyph which is the invisibility glyph combo with two plant glyphs in the empty corner to hide.

Matt: I know that one only lasts as long as you can hold your breath so I will wait.

Matt’s was right but this was not the invisibility glyph combo this was the stealth glyph combo. With an extra plant glyph the invisibility glyph becomes the camouflage glyph which hides the user’s sounds as well so they do not have to hold their breath. With two plant glyphs this glyph combo can even hide the user’s scent. Luz guesses there are ways to also hide things like vibrations and heat but she hasn’t found out how to turn the stealth glyph into those yet. Luz and Amity regrouped and they decided to give team Mix Tracks a taste of their own medicine. Amity made a replica of Jerbo with abomination goo and she walked a distance away from it. Luz used a new glyph combo the illusionary clone glyph combo to make herself look like Matt. The illusionary glyph combo consists of two vertical light glyphs behind a line of three ice glyphs all connected to the top of a diagonal line of three more ice glyphs with another light glyph at the bottom. This glyph combo can also make illusionary clones that follow the user’s intent in addition to being a method of disguise. Luz and Amity split up to find their targets. Which fortunately didn’t take long. Jerbo was walking around with two of his plant abominations with him.

Jerbo: There you are Matt the plan didn’t work now what?

“Matt”(Luz) used the stone glyph combo which consists of a triangle of plant glyphs with an ice glyph at the bottom to launch stone spikes at the abominations.

Jerbo: What are you doing?

He didn’t get an answer as Luz disguised as Matt used the stone glyph combo to trap Jerbo in a box of stone. Amity was doing something different as she was using the mist to hide both herself and her abomination that is mimicking Jerbo. Amity was going to use her voice changing spell to trick Matt.

Matt: It didn’t work with you either?

Amity mimicking Jerbo: No what do we do, I am freaking out!

Matt: Do not worry Mantholomule has got it covered.

Amity mimicking Jerbo: Well something is covered.

Amity summoned abominations to surround and restrain Matt. Matt panicked as he didn’t know what was happening and he dispelled the mist. Both Jerbo and Matt freed themselves to see that they were tricked by team Lumity who are standing side by side.

Perry: To all who have been watching we have just seen a dance of deception and trickery which resulted in illusion magic being defeated by craftiness. I doubt even an oracle could have seen that result. And as an Oracle myself I will say that this match can only become better and more unexpected as time goes on.

Luz: That was fun, I can’t imagine how my illusion based glyph combos will get better in the future but I know it will happen.

Amity: I can’t wait to see that, my charming illusionist.

Luz: Thank you my beautiful enchantress.

They both started giggling and they gave each other a quick kiss.

Jerbo: Do we have anything left?

Matt: Maybe we just try to fight them one on one?

Jerbo: Works for me.

Jerbo will fight Amity and Matt will fight Luz. Matt tried to surround Luz with stone but she used a forcefield made with Oracle magic to break out of the stone columns. As Luz was freeing herself Matt made several spell circles. Matt made an illusion of that looking glass graveyard beast to distract Luz while he throws an invisible stone at her. Luz saw it with Oracle magic then she grabbed it with an arm made of energy from her crystal ball charm. Luz then slammed the stone into the ground and through the illusion of the beast. Matt back off and it seemed Luz would have to walk forward but instead she used a paper with the oil glyph combo which consists of an upside down pyramid of a line of three ice glyphs, a line of two plant glyphs and a fire glyph to reveal that there was an invisible stone wall. She shot purple flames at it which ignited the oil before she broke the invisible stone wall with a punch from her energy arm. However this was a trap as Matt hid a flash bang like light spell behind his invisible stone wall. As she waited for her eyes to recover Luz made several arms made of energy come out from her crystal ball charm and they were all heading for Matt as they were looking around via touch. You can’t really incapacitate Luz with light. Things are not going well for Matt, the same could be said for Jerbo.

Jerbo: You may have been the best abomination magic user at Hexside but I still have a few tricks up my sleeves.

Jerbo summoned a plant abomination to attack. Amity made her abomination gauntlet and she punched it but the plants in it held it together. Amity then started to use fire magic to incinerate it as the plants in it made it flammable unlike normal abomination goo. Jerbo made another one but this time he sprayed the plant abomination with water from a spell circle to prevent it from catching fire. Unfortunately for him Amity hijacked both the mud in it along with the abomination goo and she made both into a giant sword to cut through the remaining plants. Jerbo then made an abomination wielding a piece of wood as a club. Amity made a war hammer to smash the club then she tried to smash the abomination but it felt more solid. Amity saw that the abomination had a wooden skeleton inside due to plant magic. Amity swung the hammer again but she turned it into an axe and she surrounded it with fire magic making the wood ignite inside the abomination exploding it from the inside. Matt decided to help Jerbo as he was fending Luz off. Matt threw a boulder at Amity but she summoned a large spiked round shield with a face made of abomination goo from one of the abomination containers on her belt. The abomination goo was different as some parts were reddish purple and others were more whitish purple and some were bluish purple. When the boulder hit it the boulder shattered. Years ago the same attack pushed Amity back after breaking her shield but this was different. Luz has made some upgrades to the abomination jars and the backpack Amity has. She has combined them with the mud arm glyph combo to make the abomination containers use less abomination goo while the abomination goo would end up being tougher against blunt attacks. Luz and Amity are still waiting before selling these as they would need a unique design. Though they are thinking of making it a flat bottom canteen with an abomination face with claws coming from the bottom of it with another claw at the opening so the cap can flip open. Plus Luz is thinking of finding a way to include the concentration glyph combo and the abomination combo into the canteens. This would allow the user to specify what they want the abomination goo to do such as be extra slippery, sticky, corrosive, or dense. The abomination glyph feature would not make an infinite amount since it could only make as much as the canteen would be able to contain. This is less when the mud arm glyph combo is used as well. You would need to grab a hold of the canteen and activate the glyph combos from the outside to use them. This would usually be used before being used since witches use these abomination containers to avoid wasting hand movements but since Amity is skilled enough to control the abomination goo in the container to activate the glyphs she is fine since she can do this during combat. Also unlike her most witches may have trouble manipulating the mud arms in complex ways beyond just incorporating it into the abomination goo but Amity has practiced with Luz so she doesn’t have that problem. They discussed finding a way to activate the glyphs combos by using the three claws that are on the bottom of the canteens. They are thinking of adding little symbol details on the claws to detail which claw activates which glyph combo. A claw for the mud arm glyph combo, a droplet for the concentration glyph combo, and an abomination eye for the abomination glyph combo. The fact these ideas on how it functions is from Luz is a true testament to how much of a prodigy she is with glyphs and as well as a testament to her bright future in abomination engineering alongside Amity.

Jerbo: What are you using?

Amity: My girlfriend is a wonder when it comes to mixing other kinds of magic with glyphs. However wait until I show you may skills on how these are really used.

Amity made sharpened insect like legs come out of the abomination jars hanging from her belt. From her backpack she made eight more limbs ending in a variety of weapons no two being the same such as a sword, an axe, a hammer, a mace, a spear, a trident, a scythe, and a spiked club. Soon Amity was easily using all twelve of these limbs to attack with. Jerbo couldn’t counter them with any plant abominations he could make. Matt tried to help with illusion magic but Luz used Oracle magic to support Amity by telling her what illusions Matt was using. Soon Matt and Jerbo combined their magic to make a giant abomination with plant and construction magic in it. Luz summoned a giant energy arm from her crystal ball charm and she tossed Amity at the giant abomination. Amity easily tore it to shreds and she prevented herself from falling off of the platform. Amity retracted her abomination limbs into her abomination goo containers. Luz and Amity saw they were on opposite sides of the platform and they smiled at each other. Jerbo and Matt felt worried for some reason.

Lumity: Thorn Vault!

Luz and Amity replicated the Thorn Vault with a plant glyph and a spell circle respectively. They looked like they were about to collide with each other over the middle of the platform. But instead they were able to lock arms and spin in the air a little bit. Luz held some ice glyphs like a fan and she had them make several ice pillars in the middle of the platform. Amity stretched her foot out as she was spinning to make a spell circle beneath her and Luz. Amity created an enormous blast of fire from the spell circle she made with her foot. The force of it pushed Luz and Amity higher into the air as they kissed and the fire blast hit the ice pillars which made a powerful explosion of steam. Jerbo used plant and abomination magic while Matt used construction magic so they would not be blasted off of the stage. They were still standing but they were very dizzy from the steam. Luz used a plant glyph to make a soft landing for her and Amity. Amity summoned some abomination tentacles to restrain Mat and Jerbo. Jerbo and Matt freaked out for a bit as they thought due to the steam and being dizzy from the blast that the abomination tentacles were detention worms. Amity easily restrained them and she placed them on the ground outside of the platform making them lose as she and Luz landed safely. Luz was carrying Amity in her arms.

Gus: Team Mix Tracks is defeated, the winner is team Lumity!

Perry: Folks although some things were difficult to see clearly in this match what is clear is we saw a lot of skills. Which apparently in addition to seeing skilled uses of multiple kinds of magic from every participant in this match we also saw the winning dance skills of team Lumity in that amazing dance based finishing move that won them this match. Folks I have a feeling that we will truly see something unforgettable in the final match of the first ever match of the Dyad Tournament.

Luz and Amity saw Matt and Jerbo stumbling back to their seats but they seem to be fine. They asked them if they were fine but they said they just need to sit down and get something to drink. After that this time Amity twirled Luz around and kissed her as they went back to their seats.

Next up is the final match of the first ever Dyad Tournament.

Chapter Text

Luz and Amity go back to their seats as their future opponents will have their semi final match.

Eda: You did good kid, you really fooled those two.

Lilith: Yes the both of you did quite well in that match how you outsmarted your opponents.

Luz: Thanks Eda.

Amity: Thank you but we still have one more matche before we are declared the winners of the tournament so we should still be cautious.

Lilith: Well put my wonderful apprentice.

Raine: You two were quite stealthy, and Amity that voice imitation sounded superb.

Amity: Thank you.

Alador: I must know what did you use to make the abominations different?

Luz: Oh I kind of modified her abomination containers with some mud arm glyphs, to give her some help.

Amity: Luz is thinking of making more advance abomination containers with more glyphs that we can sell.

Luz: We already talked about the design and features.

Alador: I am eager to see what you two will make.

Amity: Thanks dad.

Mary: I would like to buy one eventually.

Luz: You got it Mary.

Darius: I must say Amity your skills in shaping and controlling abomination based weapons is remarkably impressive.

Eber nodded in agreement.

Amity: That means a lot coming from you.

Edric: You have really gotten good with that voice changing spell little sis.

Amity: Well it was nice finding a way to use it.

Emira: That way you tricked those two after they tried to trick you was hilarious.

Luz: I am just glad the idea worked, the fog was kind of tricky.

Amity: True that was the biggest hurdle but we made it work for us.

Hooty: You two did a really good job with the trickery

Eileen started mumbling.

Luz: Oh we were not tricked because Amity and I know each other so well.

Amity: True, though I say Luz is better at that than I am.

Collector: She is absolutely right about that.

Camilla: I am glad you two know each other well enough so you didn’t accidentally attack each other.

Masha: I got to say Luz you have really been amazing with Oracle magic.

Luz: While I appreciate the compliment you are still much better at divining the future and gathering information than I am when it comes to using more methods of Oracle magic.

Vee: I am surprised you were able to walk around so well with that many legs Amity.

Amity: Yeah that was a bit tricker than shaping and using so many weapons.

Willow: I bet I have tried to manipulate many things with many vines and it is not easy.

Hunter: By the way Luz I would like to compliment you on how you used that Oracle apparition arm, it was on par with Osran’s magic.

Luz: Thanks that is quite a compliment.

King: That big fire blast you two did was so awesome.

Lumity: That was fun.

Skara: I am sure even Boscha would have been impressed.

Amity: Thanks Skara.

Viney: That barrier you two made was pretty strong too especially how it withstood that giant hammer.

Lumity: We always protect each other, so we have to make sure our defenses are strong.

Perry: To all people witnessing the Dyad Tournament we have reached the finals and team Lumity will be facing off against team Chained Locks consisting of Kikimora and Wrath in ten minutes.

Raine: What is the meaning of this?

Eda: What is going on?

Lilith: Is she even allowed to participate?

Camila: That gato malo(bad cat) is in this fight?

Lumity’s section never paid much attention to the other fights as Luz and Amity wanted to be surprised who will be their next opponents in every match.

Alador: That evil runt shouldn’t be here.

Emira: I agree with dad

Edric: Me too.

Viney: She is a danger to everybody.

Skara: That girl is seriously bad news.

Hunter: Why is she here?!

Willow: Ugh not her again.

Amity: I am not letting her try to hurt Luz again!

Amity’s eyes started to glow pink.

Darius: Everybody calmed down, yes she is a participant but you guys are thinking that she is a much bigger threat than she is.

Eberwulf growled at Darius.

Luz: Wait you knew?

Darius: I may have signed off on it but trust me this will be a good opportunity.

Eda: Oh I get it, you want to see her get beat up by Luz and Amity, and for Amity to show off the skills you taught her.

Darius: I never did like her but I do not know what you mean.

They can tell he is lying.

Eda: Darn it I should have bet more snails on Luz and Amity.

Luz: Well at least Wrath should not be too hard to deal with. I was able to beat him before I even knew about glyph combos.

Amity: Well Luz I think we should still strategize.

Luz: You are right bye guys.

Luz and Amity walked away so they could strategize before the match. Their opponents tried to do that too.

Kikimora: I can’t wait for the opportunity to crush those two.

Wrath: Remember not go too far otherwise we will be disqualified, plus they are always nice to Braxus.

Kikimora: Yeah yeah, I cannot wait to claim victory as they will be defeated.

As she was laughing like crazy Wrath was more worried about her compared to Luz and Amity. Especially since he and Kikimora have some surprises in store. Soon both teams met up on the stage.

Gus: I hope we all understand what are the rules of this match right?

Gus was glaring at Kikimora and she sighs.

Kikimora: Yes we do, and I can’t wait when my team wins.

Amity: Listen here Kikimora I do not care if you two win but if you try to eliminate Luz I will not be stoped from doing the same to you first, not even the Collector will be able to stop me.

Kikimora looked at the crowd of Luz and Amity’s friends and family and they all nodded no like don’t even try it, even the Collector was doing the same.

Kikimora: Understood ma’am.

Kikimora is still a bit scared of Amity after Amity sort of broke her spirit years ago. Amity is glad Kikimora still seems to be afraid of her so Kikimora won’t act too dangerously. If that didn’t work Amity was thinking of saying to Kikimora something like she will break all of her fingers and twist them off if she tries to destroy Luz again to scare her but she is glad she didn’t have to resort to that for Luz’s sake.

Luz: Let us calm down guys, and let us remember how your former boss sucks.

Team Chained Locks: Absolutely.

They all nodded in agreement. Since the isles was saved any bad mouthing on that dead jerk is always a way to break the tension even among the bitterest of enemies.

Gus: Alright let the final match of the Dyad Tournament begin!

Kikimora quickly summoned her hand dragon by running in a circle to make a big enough spell circle to summon it.

Amity: Not again.

Amity made a small circle and she summoned a giant three golden eyed abomination. The giant abomination grabbed the hand dragon by the neck and slammed its head into the ground. When it tried to get back up Amity made the abomination slam its head again two more times to knock it out before tossing it out of the arena. Amity then unsummoned the abomination.

Luz: Wow that was intense.

Amity: I am glad I had something big enough to take care of it, now I am going to take care of her.

Luz: I know I will take care of Wrath.

Luz and Amity split off to face their opponents.

Luz: So how is Braxus doing?

Wrath: He is doing well and I will still give it my all.

Luz: I expected that.

Wrath turns his arm into a crescent blade and he makes it go towards Luz. Luz used a crystal glyph combo to make a sword to block it. The crystal glyph is a vertical rectangle of four ice glyphs with a plant glyph in the middle and a fire glyph on top and one below so the glyph combo looks like an elongated hexagon. Wrath changes his hand into a hammer and swings it. Luz drops the crystal sword and she places a levitation glyph combo on his hammer arm making it float. The levitation glyph is the safety hover glyph with an extra ice glyph in the empty lower corner and an extra fire glyph in the upper corner. Wrath transformed his other arm into crescent blade and he anchored himself to the ground. He then breathed fire at Luz. Luz used an air walking glyph combo to avoid the fire blast. The air walking glyph combo is an arc with each end having a fire and ice glyph and there are two light glyphs below the middle of that arc. Luz was able to easily outmaneuver Wrath until the levitation effect wore off. Wrath breathed fire at Luz again but Luz used the energy shield glyph combo to block it. The energy shield glyph combo consists of four connected ice glyphs three on top and one below in a heater shield like formation with a light glyph in the middle.

Perry: Amity Blight wastes no time in being as efficient as possible as Luz Noceda holds her own against a long time champion of the Bonesborough Brawl. We are seeing the beginning of what is most likely the most exciting match of the Dyad Tournament.

Kikimora: You will not defeat this!

Kikimora then revealed her secret weapon. She made another giant spell circle and this time she summoned an abomatron. This being here caused quite a reaction as Alador stood up.

Alador: What is that doing here? I purposely destroyed it!

Kikimora: I was delivering some of these for the day of unity.

Alador: How?

Kikimora: I assumed Odalia knew they would have been wanted and sent some with some of the abomatons ahead of time. Thanks to being in charge of delivery I remembered the route of the airship flying with these and I was able to find one that still worked. Although I have not had a good reason to use it until today.

Alador: I am putting a stop to it right now.

Alador was going to walk into the arena as Willow and Hunter wanted to help but they didn’t.

Amity: I can handle this myself dad.

Edric and Emira calmed Alador down.

Darius: Relax it will be exciting when your daughter rips apart your hunk of junk.

Alador: You are right, she will destroy it.

Darius mumbling: It is no fun if you agree with me.

Kikimora: That was a bad decision little fire starter.

Amity: Stop calling me that you use fire magic too and it is even the same color. Plus I am taller.

Kikimora: Not at this moment you’re not.

Amity’s eyes started glowing pink and she smiled.

Amity: I am so happy I get to rip this thing apart.

Amity still has a lot of fury involving how she almost lost Luz and there were many people that she could blame for her being unable to help her since she had to deal with them. The moldy jerk is dead, Boscha and the Collector reformed. And even though Kikimora is still more or less the same Amity cannot just seek her out for revenge. But the abomatron is a completely different story.

Kikimora: You will not be so smug after I trap you.

Kikimora has the abomatron trap Amity is an abomination energy bubble. Amity made an abomination gauntlet appear on her left hand and she punched the bubble while adjusting her gauntlet shattering the bubble. Kikimora made another one to block Amity’s path but Amity simply dispersed it.

Amity: I am so much stronger than the last time I fought that thing.

Kikimora: Let us see if you can withstand this.

Kikimora pointed the cannon arm at Amity. Amity made her own version of the abomination energy forcefield and she combined it with the fire energy shield Lilith taught her. The forcefield she made didn’t even crack after facing the full powered blast of the abomatron.

Amity: I do not need a forcefield to deal with that cannon.

Kikimora fired again and Amity was speaking the truth as she redirected the abomination energy blast towards the sky.

Amity: I can end this quickly.

Amity used abomination magic to teleport Kikimora out of the mech and right next to her.

Amity: But I want to destroy that piece of trash and take my time.

Amity teleported Kikimora back into the abomatron. Kikimora was so mad she just fired another energy blast at Amity. Amity made her own abomination energy blast combined with corrosive abomination goo and fire magic. Needless to say Amity was able to overpower that blast with her own abomination based energy blast. Kikimora had to dodge to avoid the attack from destroying the abomatron. And for the only time today the forcefield Alador made around the platform in the arena flickered and not just a section of it but the entire thing.

Amity: I do not even need to redirect, counter attack, or defend against your abomatron.

Kikimora was too angry to do anything other than fire at Amity. While it seems she didn’t do anything to defend herself when the smoke cleared Amity was in her abomination form and she was taller than the abomatron to the point she was looking down at it. A familiar sight to Kikimora. Amity has simply switched into her abomination form to easily tank that blast.

Amity: Now I am taller than you.

Kikimora: Wait I thought only Darius could do that.

Amity: I am a fast learner.

Kikimora decided to fly away.

Amity: Get back here.

Amity controlled the abomatron’s abomination goo to slam it into the ground damaging its jet pack. Kimora made the abomatron get back up.

Kikimora: I guess this will be a fist fight.

Kikimora regretted her words when she saw Amity covering her abomination form with an aura of pink flames.

Amity: I will be glad to.

Amity punched the abomatron knocking it on its back. Amity then stretched the fingers of her right hand piercing the abomatron’s limbs disabling them along with thoroughly destroying the abomatron’s core. Amity detached the spear like fingers leaving them in the abomatron’s limbs.

Amity: I am ending this.

Amity raised her left fist and enlarged it while covering it in flames and making it corrosive. Amity slammed her fist down on the abomatron. It basically looks like what happens when you slam your fist on a tube of toothpaste without the cap on it. Kikimora barely avoided being sent off of the platform. Amity absolutely enjoyed this fight. It was very cathartic for her. She is thinking of recycling the abomatron into a literal punching bag.

Amity: That was fun.

Perry: Folks we have seen some truly tremendous use of abomination magic that overwhelm some of the most advance abomination engineering the isles has ever seen showing that witch is superior to machine.

Kikimora was a bit shaken up and too stuck in abomination goo to stand up. Meanwhile Luz is still dealing with Wrath. Wrath breathed fire and Luz used Oracle shadow magic to make the energy shield glyph appear on her arm. Luz then points a finger at Wrath and uses Oracle magic to make a fire glyph on her finger sending a fireball at Wrath.

Wrath: How did you do that without a glyph?

Luz: You know what they are called?

Wrath: Braxus mentioned that is what they are called.

Luz: I have found a whole new way to use them. In a way that is so much better than even your old boss used them.

Wrath didn’t have a good feeling about this. He turned his arms into crescent blades and charged forward. Luz used Oracle magic to extend her shadow to form some mud arm glyph combos to delay Wrath. When Wrath was close to Luz he turned his arms into tentacle to grab her. Luz turned her feet into shadows so she can move out of the way by sliding.

Luz: I can do that too.

Luz used Oracle magic turn one arm into a giant shadow snake and the fingers of her other hand became smaller snakes of shadow. Wrath was able to use the six tentacles from one arm to restrain the snakes and he used his other arm of tentacles to try and grab Luz. She turned completely into a shadow that was teh same height as Amity’s abomination form, and she escaped from his many limbs.

Luz: I wouldn’t do that if I was you.

He tried to grab her again but she covered herself in purple flames like an oracle apparition. He breathed fire again but Luz made a forcefield around herself before firing a purple beam of Oracle fire at Wrath pushing him back. Luz then had the grey streaks of her shadow Oracle form detach and extend like how Oracle apparitions can use their bandages to subdue Wrath. Kikimora saw how things were going for both her and Wrath and it was time for them to use their weapons of last resort.

Kikimora: You have not won yet!

Kikimora shot a blast of fire at Amity. She ignored it. The same thing happened when Kikimora fired lightning at her. Abominations are energy resistant when it comes to light and heat related energies. Wrath was also having trouble.

Wrath: Take this!

He breathed fire at Luz but she avoided it without using magic. It would be easy to assume that fire that produces light would be effective against a shadow based from but Luz has figured out how to bend out of the way to avoid that problem. Shadows can bend due to light a fact Luz takes advantage of to overcome that weakness plus she has always been a flexible person in many different sense of the word. Wrath made his arm into a spike covered spear like club but it simply went through Luz as she lashed through it.

Wrath: I have more than just my natural abilities I was a high ranking member of the strongest coven!

Wrath made a spell circle to trap Luz in vines. Luz escaped from them with ease. Wrath made a spell circle to summon a stone wall. Luz simply phased through it. Wrath then summoned an abomination to attack Luz but Amity dissolved it and added it to her abomination form.

Kikimora: Wrath you dolt don’t use any abomination magic around her!

Kikimora had an idea and she had her whistle and she used bard magic to produce a sleep inducing smoke. Amity covered her ears and her fiery aura blocked the smoke. Amity turned one hand into fan blades to blow the smoke away. Luz was similarly protected by the smoke in the same way. Luz made the wind glyph combo on the floor using shadows and she used it to gather the smoke. Luz and Amity used the fire magic they were covered in to destroy the smoke cloud.

Kikimora: Oh drat! How about you take this!

Kikimora fired a blast of water to try to damage Amity’s abomination form. Amity’s pink flames turned the water to steam. Even if Amity was not covered by pink flames she would have been fine as she has found a way for her abominations and her abomination form to be fine after being attacked by water via altered density and making them stickier. Kikimora had an idea. Kimora fired blasts of water and fire at the same time to make a steam cloud. Kikimora then ran towards Wrath as she avoided many abomination arms Amity was creating.

Wrath: This is hopeless.

Wrath felt like giving up but then he heard Braxus cheering for him. He knew he must keep trying. Wrath made an energy shield from the healing track. Luz was going around it but Wrath made a spell circle to fire a beam of energy that froze Luz. It was the same kind Hettie uses. Luz may not be able to move her shadow form but she was able to still cast a shadow which she turned into snakes to restrain Wrath who started running towards Kikimora.

Perry: Team Lumity has demonstrated skillful use of transformation magic from the types of magic they favor as team Chained Locks is on the defensive using magic from multiple tracks. How will they react against the odds they are facing now?

Kikimora jumped on Wrath’a shoulder and she put a power glyph on herself. She would add more but she didn’t want to accidentally blast herself off of the platform. Kikimora then summoned a crystal ball and she held it with her hair bun made of fingers leaving her hands free. She is a relative of Osran so she does know some Oracle magic. She had a small Oracle apparition serve as her lookout. Wrath summoned a potion and he drank it. He transformed into a giant monster like he did from that altered blabber serum though he did not seem as mindless. Kikimora used beast keeping magic to help Wrath be calmer this time. This caused quite a shock.

Alador: Not that thing again.

King: Well at least this won’t be boring.

Eda: How did he get that?

Emira: Ed you didn’t sell any right?

Edric: I didn’t I swear!

Wrath: I heard how you added fire bee honey to blabber serum it was not that hard to make. I didn’t wanted to use this because of the after effects but considering how things are going and this is the finals why not go all in?

Kikimora: Now how will you face us this time?

Lumity: Together!

From one hand Kikimora fired strengthen blasts of fire, lightning, and water. She had the water combined with the lightning so she wouldn’t put out the fire. Luz and Amity quickly slide on the ground towards each other. They both assumed more humanoid forms while still consisting of abomination goo and shadows that were about their natural height.

Luz: Are you ready to go legendary?

Amity: I am ready.

Luz and Amity combined their forms so it looked like Amity was armored up and Luz was coming from her back like a guardian spirit. They are mimicking one of the champions from League of Legends. While neither of them were players the stories, the characters, the music, and the cinematics were more than enough for them to become fans. They have used these transformation magic to cosplay as some of them. This time they are mimicking Aphelios and Alune. This idea to mimicking them is much more than just looking like them. Amity made what looked like a sword like sniper rifle and Luz added a pair of light glyphs on it. Amity fired some beams of light that Kimora dodged and Wrath blocked with his arm. Amity then made another gun this one more normal in comparison and Luz added a fire glyph to it with Oracle shadow magic. Amity used it like a flamethrower. Wrath blocked it with his own fire breath as Kikimora tried to block it with fire beams from all three fingers of her right hand. Luz and Amity added their own fire magic to the flamethrower like blast and neither side was getting an advantage. Until Luz made more fire glyphs with shadows and Kikimora used blasts of water to turn the fire in a small scale steam explosion to cancel it. Amity turned her weapon into what looked like a pistol with a scythe like blade. Luz added an ice glyph to the barrel and Amity started spraying bullets made of ice. Wrath used his fire breath once more and Kikimora used Oracle magic to help her dodge and use fire to defend herself. Amity transformed her weapon into a strange gun with a floating orb of abomination goo. Luz added a plant glyph to it. Amity fired it at the ground below Wrath and he was soon tangled up by vines covered in abomination goo. Kikimora would have helped him but she had her own issues to deal with. Amity made this weapon that looked like a pair of crescent blades facing away from each other and it works like a boomerang. Luz used Oracle shadow magic to add the illusion clone glyph combo on to it. Amity tossed it. Kikimora used Oracle magic to dodge it and when it was behind her the glyph activated and there were now dozens of boomerangs. Kikimora was using Oracle magic to dodge and counterattack them but Amity controlled the real one to shatter the crystal ball Kikimora had.

Luz: That is one problem down.

Amity: Things are not over yet.

Wrath has manage to free himself. He turned his arm into a crescent blade and he swung down. But then he felt something blocking his blade. Luz and Amity have transformed again. Amity has used her abomination form become armor, horns, and a sword for Luz. Luz has added wings made of shadows for them, they were mimicking the champion Aatrox. And right now Luz was using her abomination sword with an eye in the middle to block Wrath’s attack. They then took flight. Kikimora fired multiple blasts of fire, lightning, and water. Luz and Amity were avoiding those attacks by dashing around thanks to Luz’s shadow wings. Luz used the abomination sword for three attacks to cut one water blast, disperse a fire ball, and swinging her sword to knock back the lightning blast. Luz then flew down with Amity and Luz slammed the sword into the ground so Amity could summon some chains made of abomination goo to restrain Wrath.

Wrath: You do not chain up the warden!

Wrath turned his hand into six tentacles each and he turned each one into a crescent blade to escape quicker. Luz and Amity flew back as now it was a bad idea to try and fight him in a sword fight.

Amity: I think we need more fire power.

Luz: You are right as always Amity.

Luz and Amity were mimicking a different champion. Amity became a sleeker more advance suit of armor for Luz with wings that seemed quite alien. They are mimicking Kai’Sa and her living void armor. Luz was in charge of flying around as she used Oracle shadow magic to add several glyphs to this combination. The levitation glyph combo for flight, the air walk glyph combo for maneuverability, and the fire glyph for speed. They were even faster now. Amity fired blasts of fire from her armor form’s hands at Kikimora and Wrath. They tried they countered with their own fire based attacks. Amity then turned her hands into guns to shoot bigger blasts but Kikimora started to shoot fire from both hands to keep up. Amity then fired a bunch of missiles made of abomination goo from her wings surrounding Wrath and Kikimora with explosions. However they were fine as even in this state Wrath was able to make spell circles to summon stone walls and vines to act as shields. Making this harder for Luz and Amity.

Amity: They are still not making this easy.

Luz: Maybe we should try our own version of their tactic.

Luz and Amity hid behind a wall that Wrath made.

Kikimora: Where did they went?

Wrath: We will find them it is only a matter of time.

Kikimora then spotted a large wolf made of shadows that had a mask that was made of grey shadows, it was Luz. Wrath was about to breathe fire but he was distracted by an arrow that made one of his arms temporarily stuck to the ground. Wrath saw a female that looked like a humanoid sheep wearing a wolf like mask and she has a distinctive bow, it was Amity. Luz and Amity are mimicking the champion Kindred specifically Luz is Wolf and an Amity is Lamb. Amity is pretty good with a bow as Luz wanted to try it and though she has a decent throwing arm that does make her suited for a bow. However Amity has more of the disposition and grace for the bow and arrow.

Wrath: Where did they go?

Kikimora: Just start blasting and making walls.

This was much harder than they thought as Luz glides around like a shark while phasing through walls of stone. Whenever Amity was behind a wall she would teleport using abomination magic to go behind another stone wall so she can ambush Kikimora and Wrath once more. Wrath tried to restrain them with vines but Luz used her jaws to rip them apart. She may not want to ever bite Wrath or Kikimora but vines are ok. Whenever Kikimora tried to fire three blasts at once Amity fired three arrows at once to block her attack.

Wrath: This is so frustrating!

Kikimora: We are getting nowhere!

Suddenly they were tackled by Luz in her wolf form. Kikimora almost fell off. However she had to defend herself instead of attacking back as Amity was riding on Luz’s back. Luz and Amity copied their tactic but they were much more maneuverable. Kikimora now couldn’t keep up as Luz was ambushing them and Amity would teleport to another wall every time Luz was visible between walls so she would not get targeted. Luz and Amity’s team work was much better than Wrath and Kikimora’s.

Kikimora: We are going all out!

Wrath: Now that sounds like a good idea!

Kikimora started firing blasts from all six of her fingers and the three fingers covering her right eye. She was firing three fire blasts, the lightning blast, and three water blasts. Wrath was now breathing fire nonstop as he used his twelve tentacles he turned his arms into to make spell circles so now he was making half a dozen walls of stone and half a dozen walls of vines.

Perry: Folks we have seen a battle that has turned this battlefield into a war zone with team Chained Locks showing an overwhelming amount of multiple kinds of magic as team Lumity shows the potential of transformation based magic and teamwork like none other. However it seems team Chained Locks have gained controlled of this war zone like battle field.

Luz and Amity were behind a stone wall and they smiled at each other.

Luz: Team Lumity.

Amity: Team Lumity.

They kissed and they combined their transformations while adding a lot of flair and details. They transformed into a giant form made of abomination goo and shadows that was taller than Wrath if he stood up in his current form. They had curly snakes of shadow and straight tentacles of abomination goo with eyes for hair in a hairstyle that was a mix of both of theirs. They had eight arms of abomination goo with bands of shadows around them. They were covered in golden abomination eyes and glowing yellow Oracle apparition eyes, on their face they had a pair of each kind of eye. They were also covered in pink fire and purple Oracle flames that blended in together. They also had a witch’s hat and cape both made of abomination goo and accented with shadows. Judging by how some walls in contact with Amity were melting she made her abomination goo corrosive so Wrath would refrain from fighting them in melee combat. Luz in her shadow form was immune to it

Mary: Wow.

Eileen was speechless as she couldn’t stop staring.

Alador: Did you knew abomination magic can be used like that?

Darius was left almost speechless.

Darius: No.

The twins: That looks so cool!

Viney: I know they look so kickass!

Skara: I want to write a song about this form.

Raine: Me too.

King: They are huge!

Collector: This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

Eda: I thought our harpy transformation was wild.

Lilith: I agree with you there.

Vee: That is some very impressive shapeshifting.

Masha: I couldn’t have seen this coming.

Camila: Wow, just wow.

Willow: When I heard they found a new way they can use their transformation magic together I did not expect anything like this.

Hunter: Me neither, for Halloween they always did much smaller things.

Hooty: Wow they could really hug somebody in that form. Hoot.

Wrath: What is that?

Kikimora: I don’t know.

Lumity: Lumity. Just call us Lumity. And you are about to see how strong we are together.

They were not bluffing as this combined form of theirs could have taken down that mold that took over the isles without titan powers as their fires, slight phasing ability, and corrosive abomination goo would have easily went through all the mold without a problem. They could not even get infected by it as mold cannot infect a shadow and the abomination goo in this form was too corrosive for that to happen. To be honest they were probably more dangerous proportionally compared to the mold taking over the isles. Not even the moldy fire breath would have affected them. It would have been a whole different story if Luz and Amity used this form years ago.

Kikimora: We will not lose!

Wrath: We will keep going!

Wrath was making dozens of walls of vines and stone. Lumity was summoning abomination arms and snakes of shadow to destroy those walls. Kikimora started shooting over half a dozen blasts of fire, lightning, and water from her fingers and hair. Luz and Amity worked together for their own long range attacks. Amity made floating balls of abomination goo and Luz used Oracle shadow magic to add several blast based glyphs like ice, wind, snow, water, fire, and light. Kikimora and Wrath were getting completely overwhelmed.

Eda: Lily I think our students surpassed us at our best when we had magic even if we worked together.

Lilith: I do believe you are right, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.

Eda: Me neither.

The Collector was eating some popcorn that he was sharing with some of the others around.

Collector: Wow I think in a fight they could probably beat me.

The Collector said that nonchalantly and he resumed eating popcorn. He did not notice both teams fighting, the Dyad Tournament staff, the audience both here and from elsewhere on the isles froze as he said that.

Collector: What?

He resumed eating popcorn not understanding the gravity what he just said. Although he was speaking the truth when said that. The fight resumed and Luz and Amity are going to end this. Amity made a giant fist made of abomination goo come out of the ground below Wrath as Luz used Oracle shadow magic to add snow and ice glyphs to the knuckles of the abomination fist. The fist punched the oversized Wrath into the air along with Kikimora. He shrunk back down and he and Kikimora fell into a pile of abomination goo and snow. Amity and Luz defused and Amity made the abomination goo carry Wrath and Kikimora off of the platform.

Gus: Well it looks like team Chained Locks have lost the winner is…

However before he could finish the sentence a fire blast went towards Amity and Luz blocked it with an energy shield glyph combo she made with Oracle shadow magic.

Kikimora: I am on Wrath so I am still in this since I did not touch the ground around the platform.

Luz: Can she do that?

Amity: Is that against the rules?

Gus: Technically no Kikimora is still in this.

Luz blocked some more fire blast as they became weaker since the power glyph Kikimora had was ripped during the fall.

Amity: I will take care of this Luz. Kikimora you should just stop.

Kikimora: I will not.

Kikimora suddenly couldn’t move as Amity used telekinesis magic.

Amity: I am done asking. Now you have to obey Me!

Amity was controlling Kikimora like a puppet to walk off of Wrath and onto the ground. Luz still knows Amity is still mad at Kikimora Amity would stop if Kikimora would at least give a sincere apology to Luz but she never will, and even though she is mad Amity is not actually acting out in anger despite what others would think. Amity could just toss her but she was being nice. Kikimora tried in vain to fight it but she could never overpower Amity’s determination. Due to Kikimora’s bad choices working against her once more she tripped as Amity made her walk down and Kikimora fell on her head knocking herself out.

Gus: The winner is team Lumity!

All of the isles cheered as Luz and Amity won. Luz and Amity walked to the podium where Perry Porter was. He was holding the trophy to give to Luz and Amity, it said Dyad Tournament Champions. Above it were some gold statues of a heart and a bile sac.

Perry: I am happy to give this in trophy to the winners of the first ever Dyad Tournament Team Lumity who are Luz Noceda and Amity Blight.

Team Lumity grabbed the trophy together and raised it into the air. Luz was on the right side of the trophy where the heart was and Amity was on the left where the bile sac was. There were more reasons for them to hold these specific sides besides which hand they use or their specie’s anatomy, more sentimental reasons due to what they consider each other to be. To Luz Amity is her bile sac that is a permanent part of her heart. And to Amity Luz is like her heartbeat that she can’t live without.

Perry: In addition to that you also win one billion snails!

Several large bags of snails were moved onto the platform via telekinesis by the security staff.

Luz: Wow that is a lot of snails.

Amity: That is a lot quicker way to get that much compared to how we earn it with our jobs’s income combined.

Luz: So how will we move it?

Amity: I can take care of that.

Amity used abomination teleportation magic to send it to their house.

Perry: I have to say you two have made this a memorable tournament I honestly believe and I am sure many would agree with me that you two have participated in a legendary fight that will go down in history. Not just in Dyad Tournament history but in the history of fighting and magic itself. Please tell all of us how you two were able to do it.

Luz: Well teamwork of course.

Amity: And a lot of creativity.

Luz and Anity smiled at each other.

Lumity: And we bring out the best in each other!

Perry: Well you heard it here first folks teamwork and imagination can truly make unforgettable wonders. This has been the first ever Dyad Tournament and I hope you look forward to next years’s as much as I do, and I do hope our champions will return.

Lumity: We would love to!

Perry: This is Perry Porter wishing you folks to have a good day after a truly exciting tournament.

The broadcast ended and Perry shook both Luz and Amity’s hands as he left to talk with some of the other staff members. Luz and Amity saw a crowd of people heading towards them. Some of the security staff was going to dispose of the broken abomatron.

Amity yelling: I am going to recycle it!

Luz: Are you going to turn it into a punching bag?

Amity smiled.

Amity: You know me so well.

Darius: That garbage you made will be much more useful as a punching bag.

Alador: I completely agree.

Darius mumbling: Stop agreeing with me.

Alador: I am so proud of you Amity.

Alador hugged Amity and Amity hugged him back.

Amity: Thanks dad.

Ed and Em: You were really awesome sis.

Amity then hugged her siblings.

Mary: You really dominated out there.

Eileen was clapping.

Eda hugged Luz.

Eda: Now that is the apprentice of the wildest witch on the isles.

Luz: Thanks Eda.

King: My big sister is the coolest!

Vee: He is right you are so cool Luz.

Luz: Awe you guys.

Luz then hugged her siblings.

Masha: That transformation you two created together was absolutely mind blowing.

Hooty: My mind is still blown. Hoot.

Eber nodded in agreement.

Viney and Skara came back. Viney went to check on how Braxus was doing since as he was studying healing and beast keeping magic he would ask Viney for advice whenever she visited Skara so she has grown a soft spot for the little demon and was wondering how he was knowing his dad lost. He seems to take it well and Wrath was happy to have impressed his son. Skara went with Viney to protect her since Kikimora is there too. Although the healers checked on her they were in no rush to wake her up.

Viney: That was so rad how you were fighting together with all your different forms.

Skara: I could write a song about that fight.

Raine: I also believe your fight is amazing enough to have its own song.

Camila: I am so proud of my amazing witch.

Luz: Thanks mama.

Luz hugged her mom.

Collector: You two were really really really really great.

He fired off star shape fire works at he said that.

Luz: Thanks for the light show.

Amity: And the compliment.

Darius: I must say Amity you have truly mastered your own style of abomination magic. Good work.

Amity: Thanks that means a lot.

Willow: You two were absolutely incredible!

Hunter: I have seen a lot of cool magic but yours was among the coolest ever!

Gus poofed back to them.

Gus: You two were incredible, the showmanship, the teamwork, and the performance it was all so amazing. You two absolutely deserve to win the tournament.

Lumity: Thanks you three.

Eda: You have won but this night is only getting started.

Alador: We have a surprise.

Camila: And we hope you will like it.

Willow: We knew you two would do great in this tournament.

Hunter: So we put our snails together.

Gus: And got reservations at a Barb Bee Skewed restaurant.

Barb Bee Skewed is the demon realm equivalent of BBQ. The barb refers to the spice plants used for the seasoning that usually have barbs on them, the bee refers to how it is cooked with fire bees or fire bee honey for a sweeter flavor, and the skewed could refer to either the diagonal lines on the grill or the skewers used to cook the meat sometimes.

Vee: Do you want to go? It will be about an hour and twenty minutes from now.

Lumity: Yes we would love too!

Amity: Viney and Skara do you two want to join us?

Luz: We would be happy to pay for you.

Viney: Well if you insist on us being there.

Skara: We would be happy to celebrate your awesome victory.

Luz: I have to invite two others.

Amity: We will be right back.

Luz wanted to invite Boscha and Amelia. Matt and Jerbo left and they would not invite team Chained Locks for more than a few reasons. They soon caught up with them.

Amelia: You two were great out there.

Boscha: Good job you really kicked Kikimora’s butt.

Luz: We are having a celebration at a Barb Bee Skewed resteraunt and I wanted to invite you.

Amity: What do you say?

Amelia: Well we don’t have dinner plans.

Boscha: And you can afford it sure why not, but when is it?

Luz: In 80 minutes.

Boscha: Sounds fine with me.

Amelia: Alright see you there.

Luz and Amity told everybody they invited Boscha and Amelia then they all went their separate ways until they will meet up at the restaurant. Amity teleported herself, Luz, and their palismans to their home using abomination magic. Stringbean and Ghost sat on the table. Luz and Amity started kissing.

Lumity: You were amazing out there.

Luz: I knew you would be fine and nobody would kick your beautiful butt.

Luz put her hand around Amity’s rear and pulled her in closer and Amity started tomatoing.

Amity: I had to win because I had to protect your cute butt.

Amity now had her hand on Luz’s rear and pulled her closer making Luz blush. They then giggled together before kissing each other once more.

Luz: I noticed you got really sweaty.

Amity: I can say the same to you.

Luz: You want me to help you wash it off.

Luz gave Amity a flirtatious smile that she couldn’t resist and she gave Luz an equally irresistible flirtatious smile right back.

Amity: And I will do the same for you.

Lumity: Deal!

They then laughed and kissed as they went to shower. They are really glad the home they won has a big shower. After showering they got dressed and they had their palismans resting on their necks as Amity teleported them to the restaurant after Luz used Oracle magic to scry for a good place to teleport to.

Luz: Ready to celebrate?

Amity: Of course and do you know why?

Lumity: I am always ready to celebrate your accomplishments.

They giggled and before they joined the others they gave each other another kiss, though this was far from the last one for tonight.

They may have many fans due to winning the first ever Dyad Tournament but they will never have any bigger number one fans than each other.

Chapter Text

After attending college for seven weeks Luz is at her desk in her dorm talking to Amity on Stringbean who shapeshifted into a crowphone. Luz is also working.

Luz: So Gus agreed with the books I recommended for the human realm exchange program.

Amity: That is great and Lilith liked my reorganizing suggestion.

Amity heard a chopping noise in the background.

Amity: Luz what is that noise?

Luz: I am chopping up some ingredients for an assignment for alchemy class.

Luz is chopping up these roots for a project she will be working on. Luz is using a distinctive dagger with a green blade, three blades on the back, with a golden snake as a guard to cut up the roots. This is the emerald dagger Amity had the abomaton get from the night market. Amity gave it to Luz after she was able to make a sheath which took quite a while due to being busy with other things at the time. Amity wanted Luz to feel better about that day and she was worried that dagger would make things worse. Fortunately Luz loved how the guard was a snake and she was happy to get it, a fact that made Amity tremendously happy. Luz uses it for cutting up potion ingredients. She used to keep it at the Owl House but she took it with her for college.

Amity: Speaking of your classes how are they going?

Luz paused for a bit.

Luz: They are fine.

Amity noticed Luz paused.

Amity: What is it Luz is something the matter?

Luz: It is nothing it is just something awkward happened twice in history and biology classes.

Amity sounding concerned: What happened?

Luz: In history class it was mentioned that a famine was cured by a fertility ritual, and those involves acts related to fertility.

Amity tomato blushed as she understood what that meant.

Amity: There is magic like that?

Luz: Apparently yes. Though the good thing is the teacher said we will never have assignments related to that or go over details beyond which fertility ritual in what year or which fertility ritual is for what.

Amity: That is a relief.

Amity felt a bit conflicted on what Luz said for a few reasons, since Amity could one day help with those assignments.

Luz: And in biology class it was mentioned that some wild demons magic becomes more powerful during mating season. I did not expect college to have topics like that. So I kind of feel a bit bewildered and nervous about talking about that one day.

Amity: While they are not easy to talk about they are just a part of life.

Amity was trying to sound mature but she was tomatoing over these topics.

Luz: Thanks Amity. I kind of feel bad since I am talking about this while Stringbean is my crowphone.

Stringbean: Hiss(It is alright).

Amity: I understand it is a bit awkward to talk about this since Ghost is hanging around my neck.

Ghost: Meow: (There is no reason to be worried).

Luz: Alright Amity I will see you soon.

Amity: I will be waiting.

Lumity: Bye.

They then hanged up.

Luz: Alright now I just need to put these roots near the window so the sun could dry them in the jar. Wait I need to aerate them first and I do not have a tool to poke the holes in it.

Stringbean chirps and outstretches a wing. A feather drops and it makes a metallic clang. Stringbean shapeshifted into a bronze wing a kind of ibis like bird demons with beaks, talons, and wings of bronze that live near swamps. They are known for shooting their feathers. Luz picked up the purple colored bronze feather and she was able to poke holes in the roots she chopped up. She then put the roots in the jar and left it near the window, as well as resheath her emerald dagger.

Luz: Now I can go to Amity.

Stringbean: Hiss(I want to stay to read that manga you have, I am almost done with a chapter).

Luz: Alright I will just need my staff.

Stringbean went into staff mode and detached from her staff.

Luz: Now I can teleport to Bonesborough.

Stringbean: Hiss(Wouldn’t you go directly to her house)?

Luz: I am going to walk for a bit, I got to stay in shape for my Amity.

Stringbean: Hiss(see you later and summon me if you need me).

Luz: I will and see you later.

Luz tapped her staff on the ground to teleport and even though Stringbean was not on it Luz could still use magic with it. Fortunately even without a palisman on it a staff still is a part of them so they can use magic. Though it is not too much compared to a staff with a palisman on it, the staff still had magic. Most witches who use it like this would add their own magic but due to how strong Stringbean is the staff alone is as strong as a normal palisman, maybe even a bit stronger. It is like the difference between a blast that goes through a wall and one that goes through a building with or without Stringbean being on her staff, the staff would help Luz even if Stringbean was busy. Fortunately for Luz the staff’s teleportation spell was not reduced by distance without Stringbean but it was reduced in carrying capacity so Luz can still travel far with it and still bring Amity and their palismans with her as well. When Luz arrived in Bonesborough she used magic to shrink her staff and she hid it in her hair. Even though it was shrunken it was still just as durable, perhaps even more proportionally so. And while Luz had short hair her curls did allow her to hide things in her hair. Not to the extent of Eda but she can store a lot of pens and pencils in there. Luz was also glad Stringbean’s staff had a holder for her tail so she can tell which side is up even without Stringbean being on it.

As Luz walked through Bonesborough she sang a little song in her head.

Luz’s thoughts: 🎵It is ok if I arrived there sweaty, that just means I am ready, to see my precious Amity.🎵

Luz was glad that Amity will not judge her for being a bit sweaty, in fact this will make her happier. She soon arrived at the Blight Manor and the abomination butler let her in, she saw Ghost resting on a couch.

Luz: Hi Ghost.

Ghost waved at Luz with her tail.

Luz went to Amity’s room and knocked.

Luz: I am here Amity.

Amity: Come on in.

Luz opened the door and went in and saw quite a sight that made her happy. Amity was bending over trying to reach a loose screw that she dropped in a machine she is working on.

Luz: Are you looking for something?

Amity: Yeah a screw fell here and I am trying to get it.

Luz was stunned as she couldn’t help but stare how Amity was shaking her butt as she tried to get the screw.

Luz: Let me look.

Luz looked where Amity dropped it and she placed a hand on her rear. Amity froze for a bit but she is not going to stop Luz. Amity had a cheeky smile and she swayed her hips a bit more as she could tell Luz was having a goofy smile on her face as Amity had a cheeky smile on her’s.

Luz: I can help look.

Amity: Thanks your arms are slimmer.

Luz bends over and looks. Now it was Amity’s turn to see Luz swaying her butt. Amity helped Luz look as she slid a hand into Luz’s back pants pocket. Amity was now the one with a goofy smile as Luz had a mischievous smile.

Luz: Found it!

Luz found the screw and gave it to Amity who placed it on her desk.

Amity: Thanks, it is hot today.

Amity took off her over shirt and tossed it onto her bed. She is wearing a black tank top. Luz couldn’t help but notice how big and strong Amity’s arms are looking right now.

Luz: Wow you have been working out?

Amity had a cheeky smile and she flexed her arms as she spun around a bit. Luz now saw her strong back muscles too making her smile even more.

Amity: Actually these arms are from abomination engineering. You know working on machines does a lot for your muscles.

Luz: I would have expected your archeologist job would have made you more buff.

Amity: Well that helps to.

Amity didn’t mention how that job has helped make her lower half be more in shape.

Luz: Even if I will work in abomination engineering I doubt I would get that buff.

Amity: You are pretty strong already nobody knows that more than me, and I was not expecting to get muscles like this.

Luz: I get that I didn’t expect my muscle to get more noticeable either.

Amity: You arms have gotten bigger?

Luz: Not my arms. Let me show you.

Luz took off her over-shirt and placed it on Amity’s bed so now she was just wearing her white and purple stripe tank top. A tank top Amity likes since it shows Luz’s tattoos on both her arms and Amity is glad she saw Luz’s back too.

Luz: Alright let me show you.

Luz rolled her shirt a bit exposing her midriff. Amity’s jaw drop as she saw Luz had abs. While they were not a set of six pac abs those abs were as clear as day and Amity was enjoying the view as she tried to prevent herself from drooling.

Luz: I know they are not too impressive.

Amity: Luz they are impressive.

Luz: I am pretty sure it is just due to how skinny I am. I mean you can see my hip bones and ribs sometimes.

Luz lean towards the side and then she stands straight while taking a deep breath. Luz was right as the edge of her hip bones and ribs were visible. Although most people would not notice Luz’s ribs while she was just standing Amity does due to how much attention she pays to Luz. While Amity had no intention of showing her abomination form to Luz until she has better control she was trying her hardest not to literally melt due to how sexy she is finding Luz right now.

Amity: Luz I know you are skinny but those abs are not due to how skinny you are. Luz your abs stick out and that is due to muscle not due to you being too thin, and I know you well enough if you were underweight or malnourished, which you are not. You are in really great shape and you look fantastic.

Luz: You really think my abs look impressive?

Amity: Yes, and your bone structure like your ribs look great too.

Luz was surprised by that.

Luz: Really? You like my ribs.

Amity: Luz would a witch on the isles really seem that odd if she likes her partner to have noticeable ribs?

Luz didn’t have to think about it too hard as there are probably people into extra eyes, fangs, and exposed brains on the isles. Honestly it makes Amity’s attraction to Luz’s occasionally visible ribs seem vanilla in comparison.

Amity: Luz may I touch them?

Luz: If you want but they are a bit sweaty.

Amity smiled.

Amity: Now I have to.

Amity started touching not only Luz’s firm abs but also her ribs. As Amity was enjoying Luz’s firm abs she was glad Luz’s skin was still super soft even with the firm muscles beneath it. Luz was surprised by Amity touching her ribs but she didn’t dislike it and it made Amity so happy she was humming as if she was purring.

Amity: So how did you get so fit?

Luz: Well I exercised my mid section for baseball so I can swing the bat better. I did sit ups when I was getting too distracted sometimes and I couldn’t concentrate so I tired myself out a but doing that. And I also did sit ups with Stringbean in staff form but it is not that impressive.

Amity: Luz I have seen you do upside down 180 degree sit ups on Stringbean. The muscles to do that are impressive and I am not just saying that because I am rubbing your abs.

Luz: I guess so, I am glad you like them since they are not a six pack. You know I never expected to get this buff.

Amity: I can relate, I did not expect my abs to get buff either.

Luz: You have abs! You have to show me!

Amity: Alright, though they are a bit much.

Amity rolled up her tank top a bit and Luz saw some six pack abs. While Amity is not a body builder and was not overly buff however she had the muscle definition of one as Luz could see the muscles on Amity’s ribs too. Luz’s legs almost gave out but Amity caught her.

Amity: Are you alright?

Luz: I do not know if you can grate cheese on those abs or if the cheese would melt.

Amity: Luz you can’t eat cheese.

Luz was embarrassed about what she said and was trying to make this less embarrassing.

Luz: Wait you are ok with me eating cheese off of your abs?

Luz has failed really badly at making this moment less embarrassing.

Now Amity was the one who was embarrassed.

Amity: I thought that was something humans did with their partners who have six packs!

Amity was now thinking about Luz’s question. Amity has been fine with Luz licking some dairy free frozen yogurt or rice from her cheek just as Luz has been okay with Amity kissing chocolate off of her lips. Then there was the time they both tried to lick chocolate off of each other’s cheeks. And well they yelled in surprise as they did not expect to do that at the same time. Their palismans wondered if they were ok. Fortunately Stringbean and Ghost did not make a big deal about it as they just thought Luz and Amity were grooming each other. It is a good think they know their palismans can keep secrets. Though they will talk about it amongst themselves if they both know they know. Now Amity knows she had to stop thinking as she was basically trying to convince herself to let Luz eat off of her abs as Amity knows she will inevitably fail denying that idea. Though between who does this off of her it wouldn’t take either her or Luz much convincing.

Luz: We don’t do that though due to some facts about sushi I read once some people do that when the other is wearing a bikini or less but there are health concerns.

Both Luz and Amity froze after having some ideas, which they quickly stopped doing that.

Luz: So how did you get a six pack?

Amity: Well I didn’t want to hurt my back with abomination engineering and I do not want to end up slouching like my dad. So I asked Willow for some exercise advice and it worked a bit too well. Aren’t they a bit too much?

Luz: Absolutely not at all.

Amity: Then I guess the results are worth it.

Luz: Well the results speak for themselves, your abs are so defined that they are simply the finest.

Amity chuckled at Luz’s wordplay and Luz couldn’t help but stare at Amity’s six pack abs move when she laughed.

Luz: Speaking of results may I examine them?

Amity: You may.

As Amity was touching Luz’s firm abs earlier Luz was touching Amity’s rock hard six pack abs. Despite how firm her abs are Amity still has the same squishy skin Luz knows so well.

Amity: You know Luz they will not always be noticeable like say if I bend at certain angles.

Luz: I know it is the same for my abs but you like them even if you cannot see them too well right?

Amity could not deny seeing Luz’s stomach even if she didn’t have abs or occasionally visible ribs would make her happy.

Amity: I am so glad you liked them.

Amity hugged Luz, then she felt a kiss.

Amity: Did you kiss my bicep?

Luz: I couldn’t help it.

Amity: Then I will kiss your muscles.

Luz: Alright.

Luz thought Amity would kiss her bicep. While Amity knows Luz’s biceps are very kissable she let some of Luz’s contagious impulsiveness get to her. Amity placed her hands on Luz’s sides and lifted her up. Amity gave her three kisses that made Luz laugh before putting her back on the floor.

Luz: You kissed my ribs and abs?

Amity: I couldn’t help it.

Luz: Thanks for the rib tickler.

This made Amity chuckle a bit.

Luz: I say I get a turn.

Amity: Go ahead.

Amity did not expect for Luz see her abs today much less kiss them but Amity is not going to stop Luz. Luz had an idea as she crouched down and wrapped her arms around Amity’s thighs before lifting her up. Amity placed her hands’s on Luz’s shoulders for balance. Which was hard to do as Amity was tickled by Luz’s kisses. Luz then placed Amity back down.

Amity: You kissed my abs six times.

Luz: What can I say a lovely set of six pack abs deserve six pecks.

Amity chuckled and admired how suave Luz can be.

Luz: Say how about we exercise?

Amity: That sounds like a good idea.

Luz: But I do not know what exercise we should do?

Amity: I have an idea and I will take you on my airship.

Both of them had ulterior motives and the other know what they are, and they were both all for it.

Luz: Great! So shall I meet you on your airship after I change?

Amity: Good idea. I will change too.

Luz pulled out Stringbean’s staff from her hair and she returned it to normal size. She then spun it around in air before catching it and tapping it on the ground teleporting out of Amity’s bedroom in a burst of purple light hoping to impress her. It absolutely worked as Amity felt even swoonier about Luz. They both looked forward to their exercise date.

Luz teleported back to her room. Stringbean has just finished the manga she was reading. Luz is blushing so much her face was almost glowing.

Luz: Stringbean I am panicking a little.

Stringbean: Hiss (was it about you finally showing Amity your abs)?

Luz: Sort of and she has a gorgeous six pack.

Stringbean: Hiss (we knew she was strong though that is unexpected).

Luz: You are telling me and I kissed her rock hard six pack abs!

Stringbean: Hiss (did she like it and did she liked your abs)?

Luz: She kissed mine first and she didn’t stop me when I kissed her abs six times.

Stringbean: Hiss (I think you are fine in that case, you both enjoyed it).

Luz: I know she even liked how when I hold my breath or bend my ribs are more visible. It is just I am so flustered.

Luz’s heart was beating so much that she felt it would leave her chest to go with Amity. Not that Luz could blame it and the rest of her wanted to go be with Amity too.

Luz’s inner thoughts: Calmete mi corazon(calm down my heart).

Luz remembered a trick she figured out in order to calm herself down.

Luz’s inner thoughts: Amity is cool and calm, your heart belongs to her so it will be like how she is.

Luz calmed down as this trick never fails. She then grabbed the clothes she wanted to change into.

Meanwhile about when Luz left Ghost went into Amity’s room and she was bright red in the face. Even her ears were reddish.

Ghost: Meow (Luz left)?

Amity: Yes she did.

Ghost: Meow (you were showing off your abs, did she like them)?

Amity: She kissed them.

Ghost: Meow (that is great you love kisses).

Amity: Yeah and I even kissed her gorgeous abs and ribs too.

Ghost: Meow(She has abs)? Meow (good for her).

Amity: I just feel so flustered about what we did.

Amity was getting redder in the face so she decided to calm down with a trick she taught herself.

Amity’s inner thoughts: Luz makes you feel safe and comfortable and your heart belongs to her so just imagine yourself being with her.

Amity calmed herself down. Ironically she and Luz didn’t know they shared the same method to calm down. Amity then changed and went to her airship to wait for Luz. Luz teleported back with Stringbean. Luz is wearing a short black crop top and purple shorts while Amity is wearing a short purple crop top and black shorts. They both approve of each other’s outfits. Amity had an abomination fly the airship to the location she wanted to exercise with Luz so she will have more time to stare at her. They soon arrived at a remote wide open space in forearm forest and they disembarked.

Luz: So what are we doing?

Amity: How about some rock climbing.

Amity made a giant spell circle and she made a giant rock that was like a small cliff. She then made several spell circles and created safety ledges, hand holds, some padding on the ground, and some safety harnesses tied herself and Luz. Amity was very specific so they didn’t obscure the view of each other’s abs.

Amity: I made several safety precautions and set it up so we can used the best of our strengths.

Luz: You always think of everything.

Amity blushed due to Luz’s compliment.

Amity: Also here is some equipment.

Amity made some spell circles and gave both Luz and herself some equipment made of abomigoo. Both of them had helmets, knee, and elbow pads but their gloves and shoes were different. Luz has gloves that were fingerless but has extra cushions on the palms while Amity has gloves with better finger tip grip and spiked knuckles. Luz’s shoes had better soles for traction while Amity has the tip do her shoes reinforced.

Luz: So the usually wager?

Amity: The winner gets a kiss and the one who doesn’t win has to give a kiss?

Luz: Yup.

Amity: I like that bet.

They gave each other a kiss before starting. Luz used jumps, flips, and hand stands to climb up as she always had leg strength and supportive arm strength. Amity punched holes into the rock face and she grabbed on to it to pull herself up. She was doing well with her punch and grip strength. They had vastly different methods to climb but both of them were fast. Though the fact they kept staring at each other’s abs, faces, and rears slowed down the race by a lot. Though neither of them mind that as they get to enjoy multiple great views. This also gave their palismans some time to talk using telepathy.

Ghost: So I see Luz has been working out.

Stringbean: Yes and so has Amity.

Ghost: Amity was worried that her six pack was too much.

Stringbean: I think they suit her just fine and Luz would love them.

Ghost: That is what I said.

Stringbean: Luz thought her abs were not impressive and I told her Amity would like and compliment them.

Ghost: I agree and I can see her abs from here and they are impressive.

Stringbean: That is what I have been saying.

Ghostbean: I am glad they are so much alike and compliment each other.

Both palismans saw that they said the same thing and they smiled at each other. It took a while for Luz and Amity to reach the top but they did. They then sat down.

Amity: So it was a tie?
