The Sirens lived on an island in the Sea. They had enchanting voices and their singing lured sailors to their death. It was not known what they looked like, for no one who saw them ever returned.

👫 Eilonwy and Rose, Pacifica and Rose, Jess and Susan

Eilonwy and Rose

Rose was secretly so thankful that Eilonwy found her researching the Knights. She hopes that one day the Knights can be her way out of the Clan, but she isn’t holding out. 

Rose will text Eilonwy randomly in the middle of the night about anything and always get a timely response. She is confused about Eilonwy’s sleep/work/life balance. 

Rose tried to go easy on her while sword fighting once. Just once. Because Eilonwy noticed and got mad at her. Not super mad, but she wasn’t happy about it. And Rose never put less than 100% into their spars after that. 

Paz and Rose

Rose didn’t expect to like Pacifica. She didn’t seem like the type of person she’d get along with, but after the Spring Break roommate situation they bonded pretty fast. Rose likes that they both kinda mind their business... (for the most part). Unbothered Queens!

Paz has definitely asked to borrow some of Rose’s clothes just to throw them away because she doesn’t like them. “You can do better.”

Rose pretty quickly learned that Paz had family issues and knows to skirt around the topic. They both pick up on each other’s ‘things’ they don’t like to talk about and keep it pretty light. It might seem like a very surface level friendship, and sometimes it is, but there’s an unspoken mutual understanding that there are things they don’t mention. 

Singing Sirens

Susan has known about Jess’s succubus side since the moment they met, but doesn’t want to say anything. She isn’t sure if Jess knows or doesn’t, or if it’s just dormant or doesn’t hurt people... Jess confuses her in that way. She is jealous that she can live her life without that side of her hurting people she cares for. 

They like to go shopping for new outfits together. At least once a month they will go out to buy new work clothes, a few books from Chapter Three, and then stop by Al’s for comics for Jess. 

Unlike Bonny, Isis hates most people and will hide when Jess is around. Susan tells her not to take it personally, because Isis is just a private little cat.

Singing Sirens (Albow Siren AU fanfic)

Summary: Alby finds a new friend at sea, but at what costs

Ship: Albow

Content Warnings: None, but later there will definitely be angst. Also my first fic so written quite poorly :)

    Alby stared at the shimmering sea highlighted by the moon, wondering if there was something more, as the ship shook uneasily at the wave’s mercy. Alby was nothing more than a sailor, what could possibly be out there for her?

    It was way past curfew on the ship. Tomorrow would be a great day for fishing, forecasts predicted. Alby should’ve been asleep. But, she simply couldn’t. The crashing waves, the smell of salt tainted air. Too much of a contrast to her home. But this ship, was her new home. For 5 years. Working contract forbid her leaving the crew anything less.

    She shook her head. This was not right, staying up so late. She was stuck on this ship, the least she could do is benefit it. She took one last glance at the shining waves, “This isn’t so bad” she though. until she noticed a small, almost a hint of red in the sea, border lining the ship. She extended her neck to look over the side, getting a better view. When suddenly water splashed at her face, causing her to fall back

    Alby muttered curse words under her breath as she brushed herself off and began to walk to her cabin, where a dinner of rotten bread rolls and potatoes await her. Though she noticed the red under the water, consistency not being close enough to resemble blood, what she didn’t notice is the pair of eyes peeking out from under the waves after.

    She woke up early the next morning, thinking she would suck up to her boss by catching some fish 2 hours before anyone else at 4 am in the morning. But, surprisingly and somewhat to her dismay, found herself leaning over the side of the ship, the same spot as last night. She couldn’t put her finger on the feeling that described the wanting of her to see the red outline yet again. She stood there for 30 minutes, in which felt like hours.

    She sighed, thinking about pushing herself off the side and actually doing work until she noticed a glimmer of… a somewhat gold tint swallowed under the waves. She was right. There was something weird in the ocean. Something not natural. She peeked her head over the boat only to get splashed again by salt water, but she didn’t leave this time, she actually looked further, and noticed a fin. Or a fish tail, if you will. She smiled, “A fish!” she whispered “A big one too!”

    She was just about to go grab a fish net, when suddenly heard “Hey, are you gonna catch me already, or are you just going to stand there, watching me shirtless and all” The voice was heavy with sarcasm, having some kind of deep rasp. Alby couldn’t believe her eyes. Beyond the ship, in the ocean, beheld a shirtless mad, with no lower body. All fish from the waist down.

    Alby rubbed her eyes. “A-Ah! A mermaid! Or… merman?!” The entity rolled his eyes, “Ugh, neither. I despise each term. I much prefer Siren, as that is what we are” His voice and eyes displayed obvious disgust, as if the human standing just insulted his existence.

    Alby didn’t know what to do. She examined the Siren, and her first thought was “Not too shabby looking… Cute” Of course she didn’t say it out loud, but it was true. The Siren’s red hair was in surprisingly good form for being underwater all the time and all. And- Oh! She just remembered. “So, uh, do you have a name?” The being laughed “Haha! Of course I do, Its Ailstar” he said, smiling. Alby noticed he had sharp teeth, and got a bit intimidated.

    Suddenly, Alby heard the ship honking, and steps coming up from the cabin downstairs. She turned around, sweat pouring down her face. Her heart was pounding. What would the crew say? Would it possibly be okay to meet a Siren? Suddenly, a horrid thought struck her mind. What if they were to capture Ailstar? Alby didn’t know why that one thought hurt her so much, but it just hit her as unsettling.

    Alby turned over to the red-haired Siren, waiting patiently behind her, wearing that same toothy smile. “You need to leave, right now!” Ailstar’s face then displayed disappointment “Wait? What?” He perked his ears- that she seemed to just noticed were shaped to resemble fins- and heard the cabin crew coming up from under. He then nodded his head, “Yes, I understand - But can I at least get a name?” Alby sighed with frustration “Ugh, Lets just go with Alby” The Siren Smiled

“What a wonderful name!”

    Alby’s face flushed red, turning away “Y-Yeah” she took a step forward, and stopped, “If you want, we can talk later tonight. And uh, make sure you don’t pull and of the fish hooks you see in the water” Did Siren’s go for fishing bait? She didn’t know. Ailstar started “Im not Stupid, Alby-“ But when the Siren looked up again, it was too late. Alby had already sprinted off to work. Ailstar smiled. “What a pretty girl…"

Singing Sirens || Madison & Asa

It had been a long while since Madison had chosen to travel with Benjamin on his business endeavors. However, she had never been to Olia Medows, and Benjamin had invited her to the place. Madison didn't know much about this place, only knowing that it was largely farmland, and allegedly beautiful. She wasn't aware that it held a large manor, similar to that of Markham Manor, that was home to a society much like the one she had just been initiated into. She didn't know that behind those grand walls sat a queen of the same, if not higher, stature as the one to which she obeyed. Benjamin knew of this, of course, but chose not to tell Madison, knowing her curiousity would likely get the better of her anyway, whether he told her or not. And indeed, it had, as now madison was sitting in the carriage as Benjamin had instructed, as he walked into what looked like a small farmer's house. Madison was curious as to what business Ben had with the owner, but kept her tongue, noticing the stress Benjamin seemed to be under, though why he was suddenly stressed she wasn't sure. Perhaps it was the rising tensions in Athoria, but perhaps not. 

Madison smiled as a light gust of wind fluttered her hair in her eyes, calling her to step out of the carriage. She pulled out a small piece of parchment, scrawling in her small, delicate handwriting a small note detailing that she had gone for a walk and would return shortly, and for him not to worry. Then, she stepped out into the night, smile still fast on her lips as she began to walk. With her quick pace, it didn't take long for her to reach the large manor, and stare up in awe. It was beautiful, almost even more so than Markham Manor -even before the volcano. Then, her eyes fell upon a gorgeous woman, dark haired and seductive looking. "Miss!" she called. "Do you happen to know what this place is? It's beautiful. "
