Simon had always been an older brother. He didn’t remember a time without Sam, and before Edd and Erik was hazy at best. It was nice, to always know he was needed, always knowing there was a sibling looking up at him for guidance.
More than that, it was tiring as all hell. He just wanted one day alone with his mum and his dad, one quiet afternoon where he was the center of attention, not Jenna, or Nicko, the littles, not the chaotic twins or the wandering Sam.
But simon knew that was never going to happen, not unless he engineered it very, very, carefully.
So he did.
One weekend, Simon arranged for Sam to take Nicko and Jenna fishing. He got Edd, Erik, and Jojo a spot on the children’s barge for the day, ticket money saved up from odd jobs and supplemented with a 3 for 2 coupon he had found and doctored into a 3 for 1.5.
It was worth it, when he had a moment of quiet in the room, an option to lay down, stretch out, sing at the top of his lungs. He got the chance to talk to his mum and dad about his dreams, to be a kid again.
Simon just wished he hadn’t had to be the one to organize it.
ID: a digital illustration of septimus heap, in a fae au. He is a boy with curly blonde hair, pale skin and green eyes. He also has deer ears, fern-like antlers, fawn spots and fangs. He is wearing a dark green waistcoat trimmed with gold, over a light green long sleeved shirt. He also has sharp nails painted purple. He is drawn from the waist up, resting his elbows on a table in front of him, hands folded under his chin. He is grinning to the right. There are stars around his head and on his face. To the left is a scrawl that is meant to spell "septimus h." The whole illustration has a slightly blurry look to it, apart from septimus's eyes. /end ID
Fae au sep!!!!!! I was playing with effects :) also heaptober day 14: mythical creatures
[id: a painting of a castle wall. it’s crenelated and there are arrow slits in the middle of each higher portion. the bricks are in various shades of brown and grey and they are seperated by white mortar. a small dark brown rat is running across the top, jumping across a gap in the wall. it is wearing a light brown backpack fastened across its body. the sky is blue and lightly threaded with clouds, darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. the sun is visible as a yellow disc outlined by a thin yellow circle a bit further out. a handwritten note at the bottom of the page reads day 2 : message rat /end id]
This is all I got 💔💔💔💔 you guys school is kicking my ass real hard. So I only managed to do four prompts so far. More is definitely coming but it might go on until November lolzies.
Image ID: a pen drawing, colored in with colored pencils, of a deserted street with row houses. It is nighttime and the buildings all have a candle in each window. The first building has a blue door and papers taped up in the windows. The street leads all the way to the wizard tower in the distance. End ID.
