Todd is actually not that much older than Luna. He was, at most, 25 when he came across her and she was 17 at the time. So, while he is legally her adoptive father, they do not have a parent/child style relationship. They act more like siblings than anything.

Acorn for Todd, Cian, Erika, and Jeannie

What would your character do if they lived forever?

Todd: (for the record, Todd does not want to live forever so this is very hypothetical for him) Todd would do what Damien and Sean do. He absolutely loves that his brother and brother-in-law do so much to help kids out. He loves that Lyri gave him the chance to have a real home when he lost his birth parents. Todd would love nothing more than to be able to give as many kids a home as possible.

Cian: Cian would probably eventually get clean, stop selling drugs, get into therapy. He would be a better brother to Talyse. Sure, he’d still go do stupid shit with Izzy, how could he not? But overall, he’d settle down a lot. He’d learn to heal from the trauma of his childhood better.

Erika and Jeannie would probably continue on as normal. Erika already knows that Bodhi isn’t letting her go anywhere and as for Jeannie, well, she’s never been too worried about it all. Enough of the family adores her enough to keep her around one way or another.

Todd will usually go down to Louisiana with Lyri more often than not. He doesn’t really like to be around Tass after everything that had happened.

bewitchedandblessed replied to your post: Sort of want to get around to writing Tass finally...

To the surprise of no one, Jasper fully supports her

Lbr here. Todd DOES have two dads, but it’s not Cam and Tass. It’s Cam and Jasper.

Edit: just realized which post you replied to xD Elise is def smirking tho

Once Tass started coming around again, Todd would shift to avoid him or have someone take him to Jasper’s too.

Todd is notorious for stealing people’s clothing when he’s shifted. He takes mostly shirts, ones that have been worn recently, and takes them back to his nest at the back of his closet. The three people he steals from the most are Lyri, Cam, and Jasper because they are the ones that really make him feel safe.

Todd goes out of his way to befriend the most broken and/or lonely people. He feels that these people especially need a friend and a chance. He feels that since he was saved by a single kindness, he ought to pay it back to the world as much as he can and has a bad habit of bringing home random people and trying to make sure they’re okay.

Finding a Fox

@indietrashbullshit @didyoujustflipoffcthulhu @thewitchandtheangels

It had been years, decades really, since Lyri had said goodbye to the first “baby” she ever had. Alopex had been the practice baby, really, proof that she and Tass could love something and nourish it, keep it alive and healthy. The fox had even been the only one there when they had run off and eloped. 

The children were all grown and, no matter how much she liked having babies in the house, it was a nice little break. But still, she needed something to baby.

The forest was mostly quiet this late, but she knew what to listen for. Red foxes did have a very distinct sound, after all. It wasn’t until she was deep into the woods that she heard something. Faint at first, small and sad. 

The closer Lyri got to the sound, the more her heart broke. Nothing could have quite prepared her for the sight of a kit, blood in his fur, strung up in a trap. As quickly as she could, she cut the poor thing free and cradled him to her chest, doing her best to soothe him before simply disappearing from the forest and bringing the kit home with her.

He was a little underfed, clearly dehydrated, but he was strong and otherwise healthy. Hunting had probably robbed him of his mother and it was absolutely her place to raise the poor fox. The right place at the right time, absolute fate in her eyes.

She took a dance cloth and cleaned his fur up, happy that he had stopped whimpering. Once he was clean, she set about finding him something to eat and giving him water. 

“I need a name for you, little guy,” she murmured, crouching the ground and watching him eat.

“What about Todd? Like, from the Fox and Hound,” a voice chimed in, making Lyri jump. Kat smiled a little, waving from the doorway and making her way to Lyri’s side. “I like Todd.”

She was silent, thoughtful for a moment before grinning. “Todd the fox. I like it.”
