Chapter summary: When Jaida and Gigi are at a loss, Nicky calls an old friend to help.
A/N:
WOW OKAY I'M BACK. Does anyone even care about this fic anymore? lmao... sorry, a whole lotta life happened really quickly, and writing was the last thing on my mind. That paired with writers block meant this was ignored for literal months.
I really hope it was worth the wait!!!
thank you to @junosjukebox for beta reading and cheering me on. seriously without them this fic would have been abandoned long ago.
Commission from @r-i-v-e-r ! She did a fantastic job with all three of my OCs, and I’m thrilled to get to share them! Go check her out!
All three of these kids are from my series Voltron: Duality. From top to bottom:
Akira Shirogane, Shiro’s twin brother and Commander of the Voltron Guard, in his dress uniform. (Layeni bullied him into getting a formal portrait.)
Meri, one of the blue paladins, during the time she spent stranded on Earth. Just imagine her going out to the desert and letting her human shift drop for an hour as she looks up at the stars and wonders how Allura and Coran are doing without her. Because I will never get enough of homesick Meri, okay?
Val Mendoza, Lance’s cousin and another of the blue paladins, the first time she tried on her armor.
hi hello this is from duality 12 it’s spoilery goodness about denali sooo here ya
---
“You and Crystal are a fascinating couple.””
“I know,” Gigi said, shifting so she could sit straight. “I’m pretty sure we’re the only couple with our…. dynamic.”
“What dynamic would that be?”
“A human and a vampire. It’s not what most would consider to be normal.”
“You aren’t the first vampire to fall for a human so much that you try to have a life together, and you definitely won’t be the last, either.”
“Denali… Have you?”
“It was 1977. I was at some dive bar, and I remember this shitty band was playing. All I wanted was to shoot some pool. I went outside for a little while to get some air, and thought about how I should probably feed. There was a beautiful girl wearing this incredible monochromatic pink outfit…” Denali smiled, shaking her head. “I asked if she had a lighter fully meaning to kill her, and instead, I invited her back to my apartment.”
“That.... Is eerily similar to Crystal and I.”
“Yeah, well. We dated for a few years, and constantly tried to make it work. We tried to live this domestic fantasy. But, she started getting older. We had to have ‘the talk.’ We both decided that she didn’t want to live forever, and I didn’t wanna take her life away. She wanted a family, which she would never have with me.”
chapter summary: When plans of how to handle the pack come up short, Gigi inadvertently finds a solution. A very volatile, unpredictable solution.
A/N: Hi besties! We are in the home stretch of this fic. I'd say two more chapters and an epilogue and things are wrapped up on this universe that I've grown to love so much. This chapter is on the shorter side as far as Duality chapters go, but it was the best ending point. As always @junosjukebox is a legend, icon, and star for beta reading <3
for trivia tuesday, are there any other s12 girls in duality besides gigi, nicky and jaida who are supernatural creatures as well?
i mean we have jaidas pack, scarlet, yvie, brooke, kameron. also canonically tayce and awhora exist but i’m just not putting them in. i elected to go with denali since she’s from chicago
joe black and victoria elizabeth black are the first two vampires ( see what i did there ) it’s not gonna come up i just thought it was cute
other than that? not REALLY honestly but
i literally could somehow stick anyone in that universe because it is so big ( i could write so many spin offs )
guess who finally finished a chapter of the taywhora vampire au i’ve been running my mouth about for actual months? me bishhh. unfortunately i’m probably not releasing it for a lil while since i need to work the plot through a little better. but here’s actually six sentences
Looking down at herself, Tayce saw that her favorite dress was saturated in blood. “Oops.”
“He’s a squirter,” Aurora joked as she looked at Tayce from head to toe.
“I didn’t expect to be quite so messy. I look like a group of teenage boys poured pig’s blood on me.”
Aurora shrugged. “No use crying over spilled blood. How do you feel?”
Wiping the blood off of her lips, Tayce said, “Powerful.”
omg hi apparently i'm not entirely forgotten about lskdjfsd
lets do this
11. X gets a gift for Y, what do they get
oh i actually started writing a lil drabble for this that i never finished so for their first christmas together, crystal bought gigi a necklace ( since idk if you've noticed but gigi fidgets with her necklaces a lot ) but they were watching titanic together one time as per crystals idea and gigi was like wtf why would u want that thats not a heart, so for christmas that year, crystal bought gigi a gold necklace that looked like an anatomically correct heart, complete with the ability to open it and show all the chambers, and rarely does gigi wear a different necklace from then on
14. X and Y go for a walk where do they walk and why?
this is super easy! the park that they talked in after the first time they hooked up because it just makes sense. they go on a lot of walks at night so gigi isn't in the sun too long and the park's much less crowded
15. X sees Y crying would they say why and what's the fallout?
crystal had many a breakdown before the exhibit opened, and one night gigi found crystal laying on the bathroom room crying ( we have all been there, homegirl ) and crystal is like no no no im fine and gigi is like uhhhh clearly no you arent
so gigi turns into good little housewife mode and makes crystal food ( since she hadn't been eating ) and then gigi finally agrees to watch twilight since crystal likes it, and crystal falls asleep on gigi's lap, the first good sleep she's gotten in months
