We got more StaticKitty art! This is from Grubby, known as the creator of an Au called Vox Solus AU. It's a RadioStatic AU, but they took to Fleur and did her very well! As I put up Fleur's Hazbin story, you will probably see more from Grubby cause I will commission them again!
I commissioned art from the lovely Vikvikcloud of Fleur and Vox. She enjoyed it and understood the assignment for sure! This is Fleur's second time being arted. My favorite is them as humans in this whole lineup. As I write the fic of her whole backstory, I think I may ask her to draw more! They also draw a lot of radiostatic if you like that sort of thing!
Authors Note: This one is for my friend @ladykathyrrah who I met at con. I flew by the seat of my pants and tried to write Vincent, her OC named Ellie, and Fleur as well. This would be them if they all worked in the same spot. Vincent is low-key toxic but hasn't hit full dark mode yet. I feel I could have nailed her personality and next time may approach it a bit different. The deal was this was supposed to be a bit funny and I hope it lands!
"Hey, Ellie, where did Vincent go?"
Ellie looked up from her desk. One of the secretaries, again, or a delivery girl, Ellie couldn't entirely recall. It seemed Fleur took every odd job at the station imaginable.
"Ahh…Vincent? I think he's on file sorting duty. It's a slow day, it's pretty much just us here today at least until 3-. It might kick up in a few hours, but-"
Fleur seemed to perk up at that. "Oh wow…slow news day?" She leaned against the desk. Ellie backed her chair up a tad. Fleur was always too familiar, maybe that was because her family was French or something? She admittedly didn't know much about that, but knew Europeans were the touchy-huggy sort. Ellie would prefer that only with people she knew well, honestly…
"This is our slowest day, and everyone hates file sorting duty, but we drew straws, and Vincent got the short one. He'll probably be in there all day."
Again, the twinkle in her eye. "Oh, all day? By himself? That sounds like rough stuff. Guess I'm glad they never ask me to do it~I'd rather deliver coffee! Speaaaaking of, I have a run to make! You want anything?" She leaned back now, seemingly in a bit of a hurry as she drummed her hands against the desk absentmindedly.
Ellie shook her head. "Oh, I already had far too much today! Thank you, Fleur, that's sweet of you. You aren't my secretary or anything, so there's no need!"
Fleur nodded. "Well, guess I'll see you round the office, Ellie~ta ta for now!" With that, Fleur moved down the hallway towards the filing cabinet room. The moment Fleur was out of sight, Ellie could hear the squeak of shoes escalate in speed. She was in a hurry, Ellie thought, but then again, that girl never stood still. If anyone should be less caffeinated, it should be Fleur.
Fleur didn't come back into the main office area.
In fact, as the day went on, Ellie noticed she hadn't walked by again in an hour now…where on earth was she? It was 3 already, and the late stragglers had come into office. There was no sign of Vincent even coming out for water or a break, come to think of it. He normally used that time to talk to her because she was "the only person here worth talking to."
Either way, she needed a new pen. She was sure one of the empty offices had one and wouldn't mind if she borrowed it. Humming to herself, Ellie walked by the printing press and the filing cabinet room to get that-
Thud.
As Ellie was about to turn the corner, she heard it. She looked back and leaned towards the door. It was closed, but not all the way, and it opened just a bit. Ellie was able to stop it from announcing her presence, and she thanked god above that this door wasn't the one that creaked.
She happened to glance in just in time to see Vincent pinning Fleur to a filing cabinet. Vincent grabbed Fleur by her white shirt collar, slamming her into the metal. Fleur's toes barely touched the floor, and despite the gesture, she looked at him, still smiling, and her eyes only a bit wider in surprise.
"What, you think you can just come in here and be all cute and make me do whatever you want?" The weatherman's voice went up and down as he mocked Fleur's cadence, cheerful and a bit nasal. Fleur only grinned, eyes closing as she tilted her head.
"Yup!"
Ellie's mouth even hung open a bit at that. Was she crazy!? People left Vincent alone for a reason! That cheerful persona on TV was just that, a persona. Vincent didn't like anyone here, and she was honestly surprised they became friends! That audacity would get her into trouble, especially with someone like Vincent!
Vincent was quiet before clearing his throat. "…Yeah?" A hint of a smile crept into his voice.
"Well, not anything obviously!" She shrugged, adjusting her feet just a bit so she could at least somewhat lean against the cabinet. "But good to know you think I'm cute~that was kinda my hope. I found you cute since I first got hired~."
Ellie's jaw hung open at this. She couldn't turn away, almost like this was a train crash.
"…Seriously?" Even more of a smile crept into Vincent's voice.
"Yeah!" The blonde secretary chirped back. "I mean, how could a girl not. You're really handsome and a sight for sore eyes. Can't deny that~."
Vincent seemed to release his grip a bit, allowing Fleur to stand properly again. Fleur rocked back and forth a bit on her heels. "I even got these shoes so I could get an inch or two~I'm a little short compared to you…so you know…in case you wanted to steal a kiss…"
Vincent was quiet, looking her up and down. He was analyzing her in a way that made Ellie's heart practically hammer in her chest. What would he do next? She felt a little bad for Fleur; the girl had just put herself out there like that when clearly Vincent would have to reject her. It would be unethical if he didn't, after all. Poor Fleur, she would have to offer her some candy or something nice to make up for-.
"They're cute on you but I think green is more your style than an off tan…your name is Fleur?"
He leaned into her space, his hand wandered up to her chin as he tilted it up towards him.
No, come on! Here!? What if they got caught? This was so unprofessional of him! Vincent was much too bold for his own good! She rolled her eyes, and in that time of looking away-
Fleur had unbuttoned two buttons on her blouse.
"Yeah~it means flower in French."
"I've heard the French are…passionate lovers." Vincent let his voice drop to a lower, more sensual tone. He smirked again. "Truth be told, a little birdie told me that describes you to a tea…"
Fleur pressed her body into his, wrapping her arms loosely around his midsection as she stared up at him. In a low voice, she whispered, "Aimeriez-vous le découvrir par vous-même ?" The secretary matched the smirk on her newfound partner in crime.
"Don't mind if I do-" Ellie was able to hear Vincent mumble that before he kissed her passionately, and she returned the favor. Ellie saw a flash of a green bra that shocked her into looking away.
Were these two serious!? Ellie just walked away; truthfully, she wasn't sure if she shut the door right. She couldn't believe this! Having sex right then and there when they were supposed to be working! That was so…ugh!
She went back to her desk and tried to put it out of her mind. She felt like these days she always stumbled upon these things and potential drama when she wanted nothing to do with it! She was here to work and was working hard to prove her worth! She didn't have time to fool around, unlike Vincent, who apparently was brazen enough to do things like this as well on top of the other crazy things she'd already seen him do.
Vincent did tend to always push as far up to the line as he could without a more severe penalty, but even this was a bit much to Ellie. She would be mortified if that were her. How was Fleur OK with the possibility she'd be caught?! The consequences could be dire, especially as a woman in this business!
They, of course, did not get caught even though they were in there for an hour. It seemed some of the worst troublemakers never did, and Ellie could even see that in her line of work alone. Ellie quietly finished the work allotted to her left, since apparently she was the only one doing actual work today.
After sometime Vincent came over. He had a certain walk about him, one that Ellie knew well.
The I just had sex walk.
"I like that delivery girl." Vincent leans against the desk, looking at his nail. "She's kinda cute, I never noticed before~she been here long?"
Ellie looked at Vincent, rolling his eyes. "Yeah, a few months. She's always had her eye on you, though." She gave Vincent a look.
Vincent looked back, eyes lighting up with interest. "Really? Look at you go, Ellie, friends with the office stu-…whyyy are you looking at me like that?"
Ellie was looking up at Vincent with a single raised eyebrow, hair not quite as perfect as it was that morning, and seeming a bit tired. "Like what?"
Vincent squinted back. "…I don't know El, that's why I'm askin."
Ellie sighed, crossing her arms. "Well, office stud, I don't like to be left with the backlog of work here by myself while other people literally screw around in the filing cabinet room! What if Bob had gone back there!?" She whispered it, but in a harsh tone as if she were yelling.
Vincent grinned. "Ohh, you uh…saw that?" He paused, perhaps a bit embarrassed, but it was hard to tell. "Well…Bob didn't see anything. You did, but you're my friend, you wouldn't tell, so I'm not that worried. It was a slow day, El come on! You know how boring it can get, just wanted to fuck around a little! What are you jealous?"
Ellie glared at the other. "J-why would I be jealous? I don't want some fling with you or anyone else! I don't jump into things like that anyway! You shouldn't either, Vincent, honestly! I wouldn't tell, but what if I couldn't cover for you? You said you wanted to grow your career here and get a higher position. I even put in a good recommendation for you! If you got caught-"
"But I didn't," Vincent interjected. He leaned against the desk. He giggled a bit. "Aw..your El..looking out for me~."
Ellie grunted, ignoring him now.
"..El-"
Ellie ignored him going through her desk.
"Ellie, come on! I'll be more careful, I promise! Can't you be happy for me! She's actually cool, you might like her too-. I got her in for drinks later if you want. I'll pay for yours if you stop being mad at me, come onnnn-"
He wrapped his hands around the desk, allowing himself to dramatically droop a bit. Ellie smiled just a little bit, laughing. This was more like the Vincent she had befriended. She liked it when he was more real, and not so…sleazy.
Ellie looked at him. "I'm holding you to it, and I might feel like drinking a lot tonight." She smirked. "And Fleur. Be honest, you aren't just going to fling her when you're done, right? She's a bit much, but she's nice and doesn't deserve that."
Vincent shrugged. "Normally? Couldn't promise that, but I actually like this one, she's got a..a quality! You know? I mean, have you ever met someone like her? I bet I could make her famous. She'd get to do her thing, and then I'd be the guy who discovered her. Then I wouldn't need this shitty station anyway!"
Ellie sighed heavily. "Vincent, for goodness sake-" She pinched the bridge of her nose. Though that was true as well, people like Fleur were rare. It made sense that Vincent had clicked with her. "Slow your roll a bit. And try not to play games, and maybe ASK someone if they want to be a part of a master scheme before you throw them in. For all you know, she might even have big dreams she can build with you as well-"
"…You think?" That thought surprised Vincent. "I mean, yeah, she's different, but she's still a-"
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "A what, Vincent?"
"…An awesome gal I'm drinking with." He meekly finished. He looked at the ground. "Nice save?"
"Barely," Ellie stated.
Fleur came out of the hallway, mildly disheveled but looking happy. She looked at the two and waved. "See you guys later~I'll be there. Just gotta hit my apartment, shouldn't be more than 10 minutes by the time 5 hits."
Vincent nodded. "Sounds good~." Vincent looked back at Ellie. "Seriously, she's honestly cool-"
Ellie shrugged. "She's certainly bold, I'll give her that. If you go at it again in the bathroom later, remember to at least shut the door. I like you, but not that much of you-"
"Wh-come on, what's wrong with how I look!?"
Ellie mentally thought about a drink she might want. Fleur and Vincent would either be great or collide in a way she'd have to try to clean up later.
She supposed tonight would be a good way to find out which and get to know Fleur as well. The two of them were nice, but she wasn't opposed to a third friend.
StaticKitty is the official ship name between Fleur and Vox. Fleur is an original OC in her own story called Witch City (heavy WIP) and ya'll know who Vox is. This is just my first batch of headcanons on their dynamics. Will be subject to change as the ship and character ideas develop, and may have more as time goes by as well.
💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💚💙💚
📺🐈Progression of relationship was Contract hire for a party —> Friends—>Friends with benefits —→ Lovers📺🐈
📺🐈The two of them are really solid communicators (in a sense). Very easily can talk for hours and often do. Both are yappers. Don't text as often as they call/voice note.📺🐈
📺🐈Vox likes to call in the middle of the night and yap at her. Fleur will often entertain this, and did before they became lovers anyway.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur will do the same but early in the morning. The topics are often so random, even if Vox is tired he will immediately have his attention caught by it.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur invites Vox to random outings a lot. To grab food late at night, for a late night store run etc etc. She will call him by a Voxtek camera so he can come to her quicker.📺🐈
📺🐈-He is more touchy with Fleur as he is with most others, and she's one of the few who doesn't mind it. When he puts her hands on her shoulder, she will put her tail up and rest it or wrap it around his wrist. Or she'll look up at him, tilting her head as far back as it'll go like "…?"📺🐈
📺🐈Vox started out sarcastically calling Fleur "Tinkerbell' in part because when they met in person she was wearing a green top and her hair was up, creating an appearance resembling it. Such as "And where's our delightful little Tinkerbell?" When he was annoyed. This shifts to a more affectionate; "How you doing Tink?" When she calls.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur has a way of telling when Vox is being sincere or vulnerable body language wise. If he scratches his cheek while talking, especially if he looks off to the side while doing it, he is being sincere. She never told him he does this, because she knows he will overthink it and try to stop himself from doing it.📺🐈
📺🐈Sex is a big part of how they got to know each other. Even though sex is normally nasty work as far as the Vees are concerned, in this case it was very fun, explorative, and helped these two develop a deeper bond and understanding of each other. It's also in large part why Fleur sees the softer sides of Vox hides from other people (more on this in the NSFW batch).📺🐈
📺🐈On the timeline, Fleur would have met Vox in the year 2000 and started performing at parties at around this time. She only starts part time living at the tower after Velvette became established with them though, making her the unofficial fourth.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur will often hang from behind Vox when she wants something. He's pretty big so it's easy for her to do. Oftentimes she'll play "annoy" him while hanging here. Saying his name until he answers or saying she wants a snack, etc etc.📺🐈
📺🐈Vox doesn't know she's an overlord. Fleur is keeping this close to her chest, in part because she wants to be treated normally and likes the dynamic they have. In other part because she wants to find a good way to bring it up, and hasn't found what she deems a good opportunity yet.📺🐈
📺🐈Hypnosis does not work on Fleur sufficiently, nor does Val's venom, as both only have a mild and temporary effect on her. This should have been the indication Fleur was stronger then she presented, but because it wasn't a black or white thing, and this gap closes the stronger Fleur becomes, it flew under the radar.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur being she grew up in the 70's and partway into the 80's is nervous around Shock.wav (Jaws). Vox thinks it's silly and hates that stupid movie. He bullied her into petting him once, and she's less leery then she was after 25 years or so. Progress!📺🐈
📺🐈Vox sees Fleur as a "diamond." If he met her before he passed, he'd want to make her some kind of famous actress (that he could take credit for discovering of course) as he sees her as someone rare and unique. He genuinely comes to love her, but at the start probably told himself he just found her hot in a superficial way, or just wanted proximity to her "brightness" if you will.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur over the phone when hired initially does not like Vox and coins him as the used car salesman looser sort of guy. Meeting him in person though, she's charmed. She sees something special in him and likes the things Vox is ironically trying to hide about himself the most. Sees through the "persona" fairly quickly.📺🐈
📺🐈Vox would show he cared before the relationship became more overt by fussing over Fleur. Such as grumbling about what her issue is with a jacket while placing one over her shoulders in the winter. He'd also drag her to see "real entertainment" or "something actually interesting" The real entertainment being a movie he thinks is great, or his extensive fish/shark collection. He acts like he's doing her a favor and has a "Whatever would you do without me" attitude on it. This is still his public facing dynamic with her, but not his private one when they became friends with benefits.📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur will respond to this by giggling and rolling with his attitude on it. She likes the attention and honestly? Finds whatever he talks about interesting, he has a way he delivers the information that keeps her attention even if it's not the most interesting topic. He's endearing~📺🐈
📺🐈Fleur has seen Vox cry once and only once when he got hammered on one of Val's new creations. Fleur knows about Alastor having a history with Vox, and that it deeply hurt him, but not every detail. Being she has a sense for this sort of thing (and not much else) she knows Vox's feelings are or were romantic. She doesn't confront him on that or bring it up though and still hasn't. Lie by omission on her part but it seemed like one of those things that would be better not to pry too much about to her.📺🐈
