A separate blog for this AU that I'm running with my friend @girl-with-cat-eyes ! She was the one of the idea for this blog. So here it is!
These are the fairies, the designs until now! I probably will do more soon, but as for now, the NPMD gang and Jocks as fairies!
MORE INFO AND STANDALONES BELOW (CW - VORE MENTION):
Fairies are creatures that thousand of years ago used to live in harmony with humans, but the greed of humans led to their almost complete extinction. Fairies are healing creatures itself, swallowing one would make the fairy release hormones that would heal the human, and would also heal the fairy. Stomach acid won't harm them.
The issue is that, this might take a long while, while the blood of a fairy is a way stronger healer, and instantaneous. This led to humans hunting them for their blood until the remaining fairies decided to hide. Now, they reside in the Witchwood forest. Some on their own, some in communities.
There are three type of fairies:
Butterfly fairies are the ones who everyone would think if immediately when you ask them to picture fairies. Butterfly wings and very pretty. They're usually the ones who get courted, and they're the species with more numbers. They're herbivorous, eating meat will make them sick. Their horns are blunt, they lack claws and their paws are soft, making them almost completely harmless.
Dragonfly fairies are the sporty ones, flying around all the time, going fast, doing heavy work, building nests and collecting food. As their name states, they have dragonfly wings, which are amazing for flight and speed. They have claws and sharp horns for hunting. They're omnivores, can eat meat, but also would survive without it.
Wasp fairies are the aggressive ones, the ones you'd see as troublemakers. Hot tempered and dangerous. They have long claws on their hands and paws, their tails have pointy ends that they use to attack, and their horns are long and very sharp. Their teeth are similar to small shark teeth, they use these to eat meat. They're carnivores and scavengers. They could eat vegetables or non-meat food, but it won't give any nutritious value to them.
Fairies are not able to talk to humans in their regular size, instead you'd hear squeaking or the twinkling of bells. Once a month they can take a regular person's size, while maintaining everything that makes them a fairy. This is caused if a human kisses a fairy in the mouth, which will turn a fairy human-sized for the purpose of mating with the human and reproducing. Fairies lay eggs.
Okay, okay I’ll try my best to recollect the ask but I don’t really remember it:
Steph proudly goes about showing off a pregnant Grace and teases Max about how this must mean she’s the better mate, so Max immediately drags Kyle home and fucks him until he’s pregnant to prove he is just as good, if not better
They spend the whole pregnancy trying to get as many strong eggs as possible to beat the other, being so attentive and protective over their butterfly mates. Grace and Kyle kinda egg (pun intended) this on without meaning to. “Kyle was telling me that Max had got him the prettiest flowers” and Steph strips an entire meadow bare to give the flowers to Grace. “Did you hear about the super soft feathers Steph retrieved for Grace’s nest?” and Max comes back with a whole ass dead nighthawk
Then watch them both have one egg
Not that it stops them…
“Well, my egg’s the fucking bigger one by a ton! Take that, Steph!” / “Well, mine is shiner that means it’s gonna be more successful!” / “Well, mine is—”
Oh god they're rivals in every way- I love them. I like that relationship between Steph and Max, it fits their behaviors!
What do fairies do in the winter? Because it gets so cold, do they have to wear clothes?
They hybernate! They make sure to find a warm place they lock themselves inside with a lot of food, and remain there for the whole winter! They also run hotter than humans.
As always, art is by the lovely @the-constelia hcs are by @girl-with-cat-eyes
Our story starts with Ted of the Clan Spankoffski. A dragonfly fairy who loved his freedom too much to settle down with anyone.
That is until he met that stunning butterfly fairy with giant blue eyes who changed everything.
It was a whirlwind romance and Ted wasn't even sure when exactly it had happened, but he knew that he would give up everything to call this fairy his mate.
And that's when it happened.
“Ted, I… I found this egg in town the other day, and I didn't expect it to survive, but it did and he hatched. And… he needs me. And I can't force this on you.”
They say nothing good ever lasts. Especially not for men like Ted.
He'd begged and pleaded. Said he could be a parent, that he would do anything just to stay together. But the decision seemed to have already been made.
His heartbreak was so immense that Ted spent the next week sick with grief.
Then, after about a week or so all his heartbreak and pain culminated until it left Ted screaming in agony. And when it was done, Ted was left with the physical manifestation of all his love (and pain). A single, dark green egg. The tiniest egg that Ted had ever seen.
He left that same day. Moved to a different colony without a word. Without telling anyone. He didn't care about losing friends, or starting over. Only one thing mattered in his mind:
Making sure Paul of the Clan Matthews never hurt this baby the way he'd hurt Ted.
Pete was a tiny baby, about the same size as Ruth when he hatched. It was no wonder Ted hadn't known he was pregnant until giving birth.
Unlike Ruth, however, Pete was born with the biggest wings you've ever seen on a baby. Just fucking giant wings.
More than once, a strong gust of wind picked up Pete and sent him gliding, with Ted chasing after him.
He had to be swaddled in his own wings for safety to prevent that.
Figured out flying really young. Most fairies learn to fly around 13, when their wings finally grow big enough to learn. Pete started gliding at 4, and flying at 8.
Truly it's a miracle Ted didn't go gray from stress.
Grew up in a little meadow off the shore of Lake Michigan. He and Ted lived in a hibiscus bush not far from where Ruth and her family lived.
Pete and Ruth were best friends growing up. They were practically inseparable.
Pete was a tiny child. He and Ruth were the same height until they turned 13 and puberty made Pete sprout into a beanstalk.
Ruth is very jealous about this.
Pete has two tails. He uses them like extra hands when he gets busy.
Loves flying. He'd never walk anywhere if that was an option. Unfortunately his wings are so big that they can get in the way if he tries to fly in tight spaces.
He can't take off in enclosed spaces due to the gusts his wings produce.
Pete used to carry Ruth around before she learned how to fly, and helped to teach her to fly once her wings were big enough.
He and Ruth left to move to the Capitol when they came of age. Both felt they could do so much there if given the opportunity, and as best friends do, decided to move together.
It was there that they met Richie, and their duo became a trio.
The three of them are roommates and live in an abandoned squirrel's nest in a tree hollow together.
Loves sweets. Has to remind himself that he can't gorge himself on honey without repercussions.
Loves to go explore hatchetfield with Richie. It was on one of these trips that he tried chocolate for the first time.
He was the first fairy to try it.
Pete is the personal assistant/secretary for the crowned princess Steph. It's a huge honor to get to work with the next queen, and the flirting is a plus in his book.
According to fairy standards, large wings and tails are both very attractive and seen as a sign of fertility. Pete turns bright red if you ever mention this fact around him.
Pete and Steph have recently started courting, but are keeping it quiet for now. It's very obvious to everyone around them, however, that they're meant to be and it's only a matter of time before they're officially mates.
He can't wait to tell Ted.
He gets homesick easily, and tries to visit home as much as possible.
It's something he and Richie bond over. They both have a strong connection with their parents, and being away from home is hard on them. Pete can't wait to introduce Richie to Ted and meet Richie's mother, Paul, one day though.
After all, they're best friends.
There we go! My special boy is done! I hope you all like these. I know they went on a little long, but I wanted to write the ted/paul backstory and still give a good amount of hcs about Pete specifically. Also he's my blorbo so I just have thoughts about him.
That's the last of the scheduled hcs! If you want to see more, just send a request! I love coming up with hcs for these characters and cooking up ideas for this au with constelia!
I think next I want to write some Holloway hcs, but also I need to write a general lore post on fairy fertility, so we'll see!
Pete’s hcs have made me so curious about the ones for Ted and Paul and the other tgwdlm characters…like does charlotte show up at all in Ted/pete’s life? After Paul left to take care of Richie did he meet Emma? Or is she the human barista of the shop he flies to in town find coffee? I love this au
Ok, I was going to do holloway hcs next, but this has made me decide the next grouping of character I'll do will be tgwdlm!!
