I feel like....after going to the trouble of giving him some nice wings....Nari deserves at least one (1) wings!hug from the Birb Boi.

Sorry I keep missing Magical Siblings Monday--I've been trying to use every spare creative brain cell I have to finish up the RotT fic. Here's a tiny bit more Wings!Douxie to make up for it:

Douxie chokes out a disbelieving laugh as they lift and spread themselves out--he can’t tell if he’s the one controlling them or not, but they seem to be responding to his desire to get a better look all the same. The feathers are a glossy, inky black, warm like sunlight and soft against his skin. There is a viney pattern across the tops, glowing with the gentle green light of Nari’s magic. The tips of the primaries fade from black, to blue-green, to a brilliant blue, the same color that he always loved to put in his hair. He feels Nari’s magic give an affirmative hum at the thought--she has made them this way on purpose.

These will take you to where you are most needed, Nari says. You must go now.

Halfway done with the climax, then it's just a matter of drafting up the epilogue (which shouldn't take nearly as long as the action sequences do). Thank you all for being so patient! ✨

(Also if you haven't already seen it, @meadow-roses has done some GORGEOUS Wings!Douxie artwork based on my design, so definitely give it a look--it's canon to the fic!)
