Posted not because it’s an Annadia aesthetic (maybe if she went Subtlety), but because so many other rogues repost crops of this character art - especially the Five Tailed Fox center design - without tracing it back to the original artist (Gaviel is his OC).

Hello There

“Hey Tarq?” Gaviel waits for an answer from his brother, when one doesn’t come he tries again.

“Tarquarn.” He says a little more stern and with purpose of getting his attention.

“What Gav?” Tarq was pretty sure he was older than Gaviel, shouldn’t he be the stern one? No that wasn’t right, Gaviel was the oldest of the three of them, though he didn’t act like it half the time.

“Have you seen Amy recently? She’s supposed to be working or on guard duty, isn’t she?”

“She’s a grown woman Gaviel, she can handle herself. Unless she wants to play a game of chase.”

“You bet your feathery asses I do.” Comes their sister’s response over radio. “Come find me nerds.”

Gaviel and Tarquarn make eye contact with one another.

“Don’t.” Tarq warns, they’ve played this game before. “That’s exactly what she wants don’t you dare.”

Gaviel looks like he struggles for a moment before taking off to find their sister.

“Father dammit Gaviel.” Tarq mumbles before taking off after him. Hopefully they both went somewhere they’ve been before, at least that way they won’t have to search the entire globe for Amabiel. She was becoming predictable now, it shouldn’t be too hard.

Meanwhile, Nikolai and Adonis were out for a walk in Haven, talking between each other and pointing out landmarks as they went.

Amabiel was sprinting down the sidewalk when she was found by her brothers, laughing like a maniac as she did so.

“On your left! On your left!” She started calling as she got closer to the two of them.

The two incubi parted gracefully to let her past, giving her confused looks as she zoomed past.

Amy slows down just a little to take note of who she was running past before picking up the pace.

“Not that far!” Gaviel calls, letting them know he and Tarq weren’t that far behind. “Amy come back you have a job to do!”

“Kiss my ass Gav!” Amabiel calls back.

“Gaviel just let her be!” Tarq calls to his brother, still following after the two. He throws a quick wave and look of sorry to Nikolai and Adonis.

Adonis smiled back, winking as he passed them by.

Tarq noticed the wink and blushed a little hiding his face by turning back to see ahead of him.

Gaviel was almost within arm’s reach of grabbing his sister, that is until someone unexpected came from around the corner. The two of them letting out shouts of surprise as they ran into each other.

“Caleb?” Gaviel asks surprised. “What are you doing here? How did you get here?”

“Ow, nice to see you too love. One of your sisters, I thought we were supposed to get together. Was I wrong?”

“Oh shit.” Gaviel mumbles, helping his partner to his feet. “No, I spaced it I’m sorry. Are you alright Cal?”

“Hey are you guys okay?” Tarquarn catches up to them, Amy even stopped when she heard her brother shout.

“Everyone okay?” She asks as she comes around the corner again.

“Yeah I’m okay.” Caleb brushes off everyone’s concern.

Adonis and Niki followed behind, catching up to them quite quickly. “So, what are you guys doing in Haven?” Niki asked.

Gaviel points at Amy. “Amy decided to play chase.”

Amabiel grins proud of herself.

“You decided to fall for her game.” Tarquarn says annoyed at his brother.

“Interesting.” Adonis responds, looking over at Tarq and smiling again.

Tarq shuffles away slightly from Adonis, moving closer to his brother and sister.

“Honest to father I wasn’t expecting Cal to show up.” Amabiel defends herself.

“Is it okay if I steal Gav?” Cal asks, taking his hand.

“Yeah go for it.” Amy smiles.

“Sure thing.” Tarq couldn’t keep the smile off his face as he nods.

“Come on Gav, you promised me a date.” Caleb teases.

“Yes love.” Gaviel laughs a little.

“Okay bye Tarq.” Amy grins and takes off when Gaviel and Caleb leave.

“Amy.” Tarq sighs in defeat. “Guess I should go too.” He starts to leave himself.

“So soon?” Adonis looks disappointed. “I haven’t even learned your name yet.”

Tarquarn stops and turns to face him, a little confused as to why he’d want to know his name. “Tarquarn.”

“How lovely, I’m Adonis.”

Niki glanced over at the two, looking amused at Tarq’s obliviousness to Adonis’s flirting.

“Likewise I guess. Do you live in Haven?”

“No, I’m just visiting. And you?”

“Um, not really. Amabiel just decided she was going to run around town like a child. Again.”

Adonis chuckled quietly. “You sound like you have an interesting family.”

Tarq shrugs. “I guess? Amy is just weird.”

“Speak of the devil and she shall appear!” Amy throws her arms over his shoulders from behind him.

“Ah! Amy don’t do that.” He scolds his sister.

“You love me.”

“Unfortunately.” He murmurs.

“So, what are you two going on about? Are you making friends Tarquarn?”

“Um.” Is his only answer. “Amy maybe we should get going.”

“Why? You’re not working.”

“Fall angels don’t do well in the cold you know that.”

“Sorry my brother is so awkward.” Amabiel apologizes to Adonis for Tarq’s social awkwardness. “We’re working on his people skills.”

“Oh that’s quite alright, I’m used to shy people.” Adonis grinned.

“I’m not shy.” Tarq murmurs.

“Sure you’re not older brother.” Amabiel teases him. “Make some friends that aren’t me and the seasons you’ll be fine. Hell, you can make friends with Niki and um.” She stops to think for a minute. “Actually, I don’t think I’ve met you yet.”

“Adonis, my name is Adonis.”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Amabiel but everyone calls me Amy. Make friends with Adonis.” She pats her brother on the shoulder. “You don’t have anything going on anyway.”

“Amy.” Tarq’s tone is a low warning for her to stop while she was ahead.

“So, you’re free tonight?” Adonis asked hopefully.

“Of course.” Amy answers for him. “The seasons take turns being in control of the weather in a sense, some of us do nothing for half the year. The falls just gave us control.” Amabiel grins, she liked talking about their job and what they did.

“Cool.”

“Very, but yes my brother is free tonight.”

“Excellent!” He turned to Tarq. “Would you like to join me for dinner?”

Niki smiled from the background, amused by his flirting.

“Uh, sure.” Tarq blushes a slight shade of red, quietly hoping they’d brush it off as the cold.

“See you here at seven?”

“Okay.”

“He’ll be there.” Amy reassures.

Adonis winked. “See you then.” He linked arms with Niki and continued on their way.

“Come on Tarq, we gotta teach you how to be social.” Amabiel grabs him by the arm and takes him back to heaven.

Meet the angels of summer

Amatiel- Amatiel is the ruling angel of summer. She tells the others where to go during the summer months. She work hard to get where she is and has no intentions of leaving it any time soon. She's not the oldest of the summer angels but she earned their respect and trust as she claimed her place as ruling angel of summer.

Gaviel- Gaviel is the oldest of the summer angels. Technically he could rule over the angels of summer but instead he chose to let his little Matti rule over them. She has more patience than he does when it comes to that sort of thing. He decided that he wouldn't mind taking orders from her and does his job happily.

Gargatel- Gargatel is not that much older than Amatiel and also could've ruled over his brother and sisters but also decided not to. He'd much rather be working among father's creations than sit around Heaven all day doing nothing.

Tariel- Tariel is the baby of the summer angels. She has more opportunities to go to earth than most. She likes to watch little kids run around and play in the nice summer weather that she, her brothers, and sister worked hard to make. There are rare moments when her emotions step out of line and mess the nice day up but she quickly reigns them in and gets them back under control. Father granted Tariel with the gift of foresight but only with small things  Like say a certain Venus angel put hair dye in a shampoo bottle meant for someone else and she gently tells that person to not use that specific bathroom for a while.

Date Night Part 2

Gaviel smiles and chuckles as he leaves. Amy and Tarq never did show up later, he didn’t care though Amy was a nosy little shit anyway. Gaviel was actually pretty grateful that they had taken off and done their own thing for the day. Gaviel had never felt nervous or anxious before, or at least not for a long, long time. He figured it was because, in Amabiel’s words, he wasn’t very social when it came to talking to others. Matti gave him a sense of confidence and put his mind to ease that everything was going to be fine. It did make him feel a little bit better about his people skills, rusty as they were. However it didn’t stop him from feeling nervous about meeting someone he had just met. He thought about just skipping out on the meetup, but Amatiel’s words echoed in his head about how that would be rude. Gaviel sighs and sucks it up, he figured there would be the chance of Caleb not showing up anyway. He was more or less hoping that was the case. Gav realised he was thinking selfishly and forced himself to stop thinking like that. He was raised better than to think like that.

He decided that he would have to take his chances with the young man in the alleyway he met him in. it didn’t take him long to arrive in the alleyway later that evening like he was supposed to. Gaviel was the only one there, he assumed that he was the first one there and chose to wait for the other to show up. Gaviel paced back and forth in that stupid alleyway for about ten or so minutes waiting for Caleb to show up.

“Hey you came.” Came that friendly tone. “I was starting to think you wouldn’t show.” Caleb teases.

Gaviel chuckled at this, he thought this man was kind of funny. “I wasn’t so sure about it at first. My little sister’s words of not showing up would be rude played through my head.”

Caleb laughs at this, he thought Gaviel was joking and Gav didn’t have the heart to say anything about how he was being serious. Gav laughs along with him, a little forced but he managed it. Gaviel was curious as to why this man wanted to meet up with him that evening and waited until he had caught his breath.

“Not that I’m not happy with meeting up with you again. But why would you want to go out with someone you just met?”

“Well.” He starts off. “You seemed nice enough that I could trust you, and you looked a little lost as you ran around the corner.”

Gaviel blushes and ducks his head. “It’s not everyday I have to chase down my brother and sister around a place I’m not familiar with.”

“I can show you around if you would like. Are you new to town?”

“You can say that.” Gav says. “In a way I suppose, I’ve never been here before.”

“I definitely have to show you around then. There’s some really nice places around town that you have to visit at least once.”

“Like what?” Gaviel looks at him confused, why would he need to fraternize with more humans? He made the effort to meet and speak with this one already. “Maybe we could just walk around?” Gav suggests, he really didn’t want to go to any of the places Caleb was suggesting. At least not without somebody he knew very well like Tarq or Amy.

“Sure.” Caleb shrugs and starts off, gesturing for Gav to follow him. Gaviel hesitates a moment before following behind him. Caleb looks back to see if Gav was following him and laughs a little at how far behind he is. Caleb stops and waits for him to catch up to him. Gaviel mumbles a quick apology of being slow, Caleb merely shrugs it off as it just being nerves.

“So.” Caleb says after an awkward silence. “How did you end up with the name Gaviel? Your folks really religious or something?”

“Or something.” Gaviel mutters to himself. “No, just special I guess.”

“I’ll say.” Cal smiles and chuckles. “What about family? Got any other brothers or sisters?”

Should he say just Tarq and Amy? Or would it be better if he said all the ones he was close to? That would make it sound like he had way more brothers and sisters than he would like.

“Just a little brother and sister.” He answers. “What about you?”

“A little sister.” He says. “So the two people you were chasing earlier today were your brother and sister then?”

“Yeah, Amy likes to get Tarq involved in her mischief. Today she thought it would be a good idea to play a come and find me game. I don’t much care for those, I know she will come back when she realizes that I am no longer looking for her anymore.”

“I know exactly how you feel. My little sister used to do the exact same thing when we were kids. It used to drive our parents insane when she would do that, but after time she grew out of it.”

“Hm, she and Amy could be good friends.” Gav muses, but that was if he ever told his younger brother and sister about Cal or if he ever saw him again for that matter. Then again, there was the possibility of him having no choice about telling his younger siblings about Cal. Amy had an annoying habit of showing up unannounced at any given time of day, perhaps he should call it soon before that happened.

“Hey Gav, you still with the rest of planet Earth?” Caleb’s voice breaks him from his thoughts.

“Hm?” He looks at him confused, was he saying something and he just didn’t hear it?

“I was asking if you really thought so, I looked over and you had this zoned out look on your face.”

“Oh, I was just thinking. I should probably leave I’ve got work to do tomorrow.” Fucking liar, you just want to bail before Amabiel and Tarquarn get here and embarrass you.

“Oh, okay then. Do you want to meet up again sometime?”

He couldn’t say no to him, he heard stories about how having the courage to talk to someone took a lot of effort. He should at least give Cal the thought of seeing him again and try to separate himself from Amy and Tarq. Besides what’s the worst that can happen? The higher ups of heaven find out? Like that’ll ever happen, he’s got Amatiel on his side if he gets into trouble.

“Sure, we can meet up again sometime.” Gav smiles at him.

“Great, see you around.” Cal starts to turn to leave before stopping. “Oh, should probably give you a way to reach me and vise versa. You got a phone on you?”

Fortunately he did, Tariel given him and the others one a while back. She said it was a gift for when she needed him or the others but didn’t want to use radio to contact them. He reaches for it and hand it over to Cal, he puts his number in the phone and hands back to him.

“I’ll text you the next time I’m free. It was nice seeing you again.”

“You too.” Gav smiles, he really did like being in Cal’s company. It was a nice change from being around Tarq and Amy all the time. Was that selfish of him to think that? Of course not, everybody had their limit of how much they could be around someone. Gav’s was about a millennia or more of being around those two, it was actually kind of nice being around someone else even for just a little while. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t looking forwar to seeing Caleb again in his near future, he’d have to learn how to lie flawlessly from Tariel but that was something he could worry about later.

[tarasstorybook]

Date Night Part 1

Gaviel wasn’t exactly sure what a date was. His little sister Amatiel had been married to Brennen for a while, surely she knows what a date is. He hadn’t caught Amabiel or Tarquarn yet, but at this point he stopped caring and went upstairs. He knew they would come back when they felt like it besides, Amy still had a job to do until the spring angels took their turn.

Most of the angels of summer were hanging out and talking to each other. Tariel was speaking with Amatiel, possibly about what Amy and Tarq were up to. She had a big smile on her face as she spoke, clearly quite proud of herself with giving either cryptic or vague hints as to where their brother and sister could be. Tariel looked in his direction as he came walking up, she clearly wasn’t expecting to see him so soon for the look of surprise she threw his way.

“Gaviel.” She greeted her brother. “Have you found Amabiel and Tarquarn yet?”

“No.” He replied, mildly annoyed. “Your hints as to where they could have run off to weren’t very helpful. So I stopped looking.”

“Amy’s going to be so sad that you gave up on her game.”

“Oh well.” Gav shrugs. “Amatiel may I speak with you in private?”

Amatiel looked confused when he asked this but agreed to it nonetheless. “Of course Gaviel, what is it?”

Gaviel leads his sister away from the others so they can talk in private. “Amatiel, what is a date?”

Matti stares for a moment, processing what her brother just asked her. “That depends on which definition of that word you are looking for brother. To which are you referring to?”

“The one where people say it’s a date if you agree to meet up with them later.”

“Oh, well that’s basically what it is, when people make plans to see each other later. Whether it is romantic or not depends on how it was said.”

“Has Brennen ever said it to you before?”

“Yes but I always knew what he meant, has someone said it to you? Someone from the nest?”

“Yes but it wasn’t anyone from the nest.”

“Oh.” At this Amatiel was taken slightly aback. “Then who was it?”

“Someone I may or may not have just met while looking for Amabiel and Tarquarn.”

“A random stranger said that to you? How exactly did that happen?”

Gaviel sighs a little as his cheeks flush pink. “It happened when I was chasing down Amy and Tarq.” He begins, recounting everything that happened leading up to him meeting caleb and hearing the phrase it’s a date.

“Oh.” Amatiel is still in surprise, she had no idea her brother had considered having a partner. It would appear there was a bit of truth in Amy’s words when the angel of winter was teasing him.

“But now that I know what he was talking about I don’t know if I should go. There’s father’s rules of not getting involved with humans like that but it appears everybody disregards that rule. You married Brennen for instance, father knows how many of our brothers and sisters have gotten involved with his creations.”

“Well, you shouldn’t stand the nice man up. He sounds like he might be interested. You should at least give him a chance and then decide if you want to consider seeing him. That’s how I was told about what I should do with Brennen, until the Venus angels stepped in.” She mutters the last part under her breath.

“What was that last part?” Gaviel asked, slightly concerned that Matti was keeping things from him.

“Oh nothing.” She waves him off. “Just give this man a chance, I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end.”

“Thanks Matti.” Gaviel smiles at her. “You know, for someone who’s normally a big rule follower you give some pretty good advice, for my little sister too.”

Matti smiles a little and rolls her eyes. “You’re welcome, now go get ready for your date later.”

[tarasstorybook]

Till Death Do We Part

They died side by side, fighting for what they thought was right. Amabiel had recruited herself and two of her brothers for this fight, they found their swords after millenias of not using them. They had all made the mistake of not wearing protective armor during the fight against those who wanted to see the nest taken down and anyone connected to them. Amabiel was the first to die, she had gotten careless, too confident in her fighting skills. She and her brothers were too busy fighting to notice the angel coming up behind her. It wasn’t until she felt the sharp, white hot pain seiring in her back that she knew someone was behind her. She screamed at the pain as she fell to the ground, the outline of her wings burned into the ground where she died.

“Amy!” Gaviel and Tarquarn had shouted at the same time before going after the angel that killed their sister. Gaviel had done his best to stand his ground as he fought, but it had been a long time since he’s had to fight last and was overpowered by one of his siblings. A blade was driven through his heart, he took in his last intake of air before falling to the ground, wings burning on the ground where he died.

Heaven’s three musketeers were slowly becoming no more as Tarquarn was the only one of them left. Gaviel and Amabiel were part of his flock, he grew up with them and they were the only ones he trusted. Tarquarn saw only red now and vowed to even the score. Unfortunately he was unsuccessful, just like his brother and sister he met his end, wings burning into the ground just like the others.

That day the battle between Heaven and the nest was won by the nest members but at a terrible cost. They lost the three musketeers, new as they were in the nest they were still going to be missed by Tariel and the other seasons. The three musketeers rode one last time and fought with great effort. Amabiel would have been celebrating making Gaviel and Tarquarn smile at her excitement, they will indeed be missed but their bravery will never be forgotten.

[tarasstorybook]

Untraditional Meeting

Amabiel and Tarquarn disappeared to father knows where again, Gaviel hated it when his siblings did that and hid themselves on purpose. Tariel was little to no help as to where they could have gone with her cryptic words, he swears she spends too much time with the nest. Or maybe this was her fully developed personality he didn’t know, she doesn’t tell him anything anymore. He sighs frustrated as he walks down the street, he was told that he was unable to lock onto their location and would have to walk around the city to find them.

Walk around among father’s creations, Gaviel wasn’t too fond of the idea considering he stuck out like a sore thumb and looked like he wasn’t in the world’s greatest mood. Perhaps that was why they seemed to keep to themselves and didn’t bother to try and talk to him. Tariel had said that they wouldn’t try anyway since they had an unusual code of don’t talk to strangers. He was okay with that, he just wanted to find his brother and sister and go home. Gaviel had been walking for nearly an hour before he heard Amy’s voice in his head.

“Where you going Gav? You walked right by us.” She was laughing at him, or at least he thought she was.

“Where are you two at?”

“Turn around big brother.” She was standing with Tarq next to her a good distance behind him. They were smiling at him as they took off, running to the backside of a building.

“Hey get back here!” Gav took off to follow them, he could hear Amy’s laughter as the two of them got farther and farther away. He hated his siblings sometimes, especially when they pulled shit like this every now and then. They knew this but dared to challenge their brother’s tolerance level anyway.

Gaviel wasn’t expecting anyone to be around the corner, except for maybe Amy and Tarq of course. So when he ran into another man, the stop and collision was very ungraceful on Gaviel’s part. He rounded the corner a little too quickly to try and catch Amy and Tarq that when he turned he collided with another young man. Said man caught him by the wrist before Gav completely fell on his ass.

“You okay?” The young man asked, still holding onto Gaviel. He was quite handsome looking, Gaviel gave him that. He had hazel eyes, short red hair and was only a few inches shorter than Gaviel. Apparently he wasn’t saying anything for he asked a second time as he pulled Gav to his feet. “Hey, are you okay?”

“What? Oh, yes I’m fine thank you.”

“I’m Caleb, what’s your name?” He held his hand out to shake Gaviel’s.

Gaviel takes his hand a little hesitantly before responding. “Gaviel, sorry can’t stay long for introductions. I’m chasing after my brother and sister, they have an annoying habit of running off.” Gaviel lets go of Caleb’s hand and tries turn around and continue on but a hand on his shoulder stops him in his place.

“Do you want to maybe meet up again? If you’re not busy that is.” There was caution in his tone, Gaviel had been in one too many battles to know what that sounded like.

Gaviel gives him a glance over his shoulder before his baby sister’s voice echoes in his head saying how talking to someone over your shoulder is rude and you should face them completely. Giving his youngest sister’s words a chance he faces him instead to answer him. “It would be difficult but I can try to meet you later on if you would like.”

“Great.” He smiles at him. “How does later this evening sound? Say meet here again and see where it goes from there?”

Gaviel seems to mull it over before giving him a shrug and an answer. “Sure I suppose.”

“It’s a date then.” Caleb smiles up at him before continuing on his way.

Gaviel gives him a slight head tilt before shrugging once more, he could ask Matti what a date was the next time he saw her. Suddenly remembering that his brother and sister were still playing their game of cat and mouse, he took off in their last known direction to find them.
