A Drop of Darkness: A Dark Enchantix AU

~ featuring Flora, Diaspro and Chimera

What if every light has a shadow… and every fairy carries the seed of her own undoing?

A Drop of Darkness is a Winx AU, in which the glorious last transformation is not only earned through sacrifice - but demanded by the darkness that lives beneath the surface of every magical essence. You thought Dark Bloom was tough? Wait until you see the next fairy falling into the darkness...

In this AU, the familiar kingdoms begin to crack:

💎 A princess whose birthright was stolen

🌔 a kingdom built on sunlight trembling under approaching night

🪷 a once so gentle girl whose Enchantix may not be what she thinks it is

❄️ alliances shifting in silence

💀 and an evil magician who sees every person as a pawn in a game only he knows the rules to.

Will the Magical Dimension fall when daughters discover the shadows of their fathers, friends become enemies, light becomes a weapon.... And darkness? It becomes a choice.

This AU explores:

~ the cost of power

~ twisted family legacies

~ corrupted transformations

~ political intrigue across the Magical Dimension

~ and what happens when the balance between light and shadow finally collapses.

Not everyone will survive in this cruel world. (Spoiler, lol)

And no one will emerge unchanged. (In the most cruel way 😏)

Welcome to A Drop of Darkness.

Where gaining your wings may cost you your soul.

Hello! May I request Heila dating headcanons where his s/o is a fairy to tends to where dark clothing and is able to create monsters? Animals that are considered kind or nice are terrified of the reader but creatures that are considered dangerous and scary adore the reader?

sure, i hope you like how this turned out! :)

headcanons for helias s/o that tends to wear darker clothing and is able to create monsters

- helia would be amazed

- even when they just met, he would be so in awe

- he wouldn't even understand HOW any being could think they’re terrifying

- as he first saw bunnys hop in the opposite direction of them, deers running away in light speed, turtles crawl back into their shell just because of his s/o..

- let‘s say he wasn't very understanding about it

- and if someone would have dared to mock them for the way they were dressing, he would've become so angry

- he had so much confidence in fighting with them

- at first he thought their monsters were creepy but didn't really admit it

- but soon he started to love it when they created monsters for a fight or just in general

- he was always so astonished by their powers

- his s/o was the god of his own world anyways

- when he noticed the scariest animals coming up to his s/o at first, he was about to kick them away or something

- but then their hand reached out and.. patted? a crocodiles?? head???

- and the crocodile decided to hum??

- 1. he had never heard a crocodile hum 2. HOW

- and that would happen often

- tigers, lions, snakes and dangerous spiders were having heart eyes as soon as they saw his s/o

- and the way his dearest was so happy being around them

- helia enjoyed, loved, adored and just admired it

- sometimes he would even consider himself a dangerous animal because he fell for them as well

- he fell so hard

So you remember the Gala for the new students event in Alfea in season 1, don't you? The one in episode 3. In the show Red Fountain and Alfea hold a party in Alfea to welcome the new students. I always wondered why it were only two of the magical schools and Cloudtower was missing.

So in my headcanon it always had been an event for all the three schools. They all worked together and held several events together to strengthen the bond between specialists, fairies and witches. However this bond broke:

In the last semester, the school year before Bloom attends Alfea, there had been an accident involving three witches and a fairy. The accident was mentioned in canon: Stella blew up the whole potion laboratory. In the show it's a funny accident, that shows how Stella has a hot temper. In my headcanon Stella didn't only blew up the potions laboratory, she also killed a witch by accident. It happened, that one night three witches entered Alfea to get Stella's ring. Stella however, was all alone, since she didn't have formed a friend group that year and the witches chased her through the nightly corridors of Alfea in order to catch her and her ring. She fled in the potions laboratory, where the witches faced her. The three witches were Icy and Darcy under the command of Lilith, a witch in her third year of Cloud Tower. Lilth has a special connection to the dragon flame and views it as her personal right to possess it. Since the royal family of Solaria inherited from the royal family in Domino (also my hc) Lilith suspected the dragon flame to be kept in Stella's ring. (False assumption as we all know.) I'll make a post on Lilith once I made her backstory up in my fanfiction. She however didn't fear any consequences. She wanted the ring and she would get it even if she had to kill for it. So she faced Stella, hurt her, tortured her (Stella has a big, fkn witch trauma) demanded the ring. Stella however all alone and scared af tried to defend herself, her powers went out of control and she blew up the whole laboratory with Lilith in it, whose body was burned to death. Icy and Darcy managed to escape and were only slightly hurt (and under shock, especially Icy who saw her friend, her leader dying. She has also a big fkn trauma and it's the reason for her hatred towards Stella. There will be only one fairy soon, whom ahe hates more). That all however wasn't made public. In fact no one really knew what happened: Faragonda and Griffin came to the conclusion that it was a usual fight between fairies and witches which went out of control. As a result Faragonda reduced the contact with Cloud Tower to a minimum and excluded it from the gala and all other events. Griffin is deeply hurt and pissed af. She always valued Faragonda as a close friend, an important friend. That friend who was once an enemy but helped her escaping Valtor. This close friend now turned her back on her and, as she sees it, betrays her. Not only did she lose her best student (Lilith), she also lost her best friend. That's why she doesn't prevent the Trix messing with the fairies. She deeply believes Lilith's death had been an accident and doesn't see the banter between Winx and Trix as something dangerous. How few she knew...

Light Rock Driven AU

I only wanted to reply shortly to ren's @redfountainpostin 's question under her post:

which was about my previous tags:

but it turned out longer than I thought:

So, in the Light Rock au, Darcy stays there when Darkar shows up because a) she has endured enough instability and sees the time at Light Rock as a chance to start new. Part of her simply wants a normal life. Power is nice, but she just cannot live as an ostracized. And b) because she doesn't trust Darkar? She's a bookworm she might have already read about the legends of the Shadow Phoenix. There is no fucking way she'd go with such a shady guy. It hurts leaving her sisters, but as I said before. She can't life like this forever. She regrets so much. She regrets using Riven as her pawn. She regrets that she couldn't get enough. She regrets that so many people had to die because of their mad plan. She has nightmares of the old times. She hates how the excellent student she was has turned into a criminal because of an idée fixe.

So long story short. She stays and Icy and Stormy leave with Darkar. Icy is pissed that Darcy wants to through "everything away". Stormy is fkn sad, that her bestie leaves them. She gets very emotional later on and cries later when Icy isn't around. But this au is not about them. It's about Darcy and Riven. So what happens next?

No, Darcy doesn't warn anyone. In fact all the guardians of Light Rock saw Darkar in his phoenix form. It's reported straight away. (So Faragonda knows again and DOESN'T TELL THE WINX LIKE SHE ALWAYS DOES). She simply stays. Of course she gets interrogated but it turns out that she really doesn't know anything. The fact that she stayed makes the gurardians and monks more favourable towards Darcy. But they also make sure that she gets no informations from outside Light Rock. They make sure that she can't read her sisters under any circumstances to support her redemption. It's hard for her and her mental health suffers a lot. When it gets worse and worse, she is invited by the nuns (yes they live there too, I decided that) to visit the big library of the monastery. Darcy is a bookworm and she is also an excellent researcher. So she helps the nuns researching important texts and historic documents. She loves doing something she is really good at. In fact she is brilliant not only in researching but also in interpreting. This gains her the respect and fondness of the nuns who actively support her. These activities helps her a lot and also firm her decision to stay there. That is also when she decides to cut of her hair. She wants to become a new person and leave the old Darcy behind. So in the end she wears a short bob and becomes a novitiate of the monastery.

This process took about a year. And then suddenly one day she meets Riven again. He doesn't know shit and just came there to visit the library, because it contains important ancient old scrips about a material art he wants to research.

The scene is like this: He comes into the library and Darcy is there too. On a ladder to reach some books of the higher shelves. She looks at the books as she hears footprints. Not the silent ones from the nuns and novitiates. Firm steps. And then he hears his voice, asking her where he can find the books XYZ and ZYX. He only sees her back and doesn't recognize her. She also wears a light veil. She recognizes his voice immediately and oh the overthinking is back: It's Riven. What is he doing here? Why did he come here the moment I am here? What will he do if he recognizes me? How will he react? Will he be mad? Will he be embarrassed? Does he hate me? He should hate me after all I have done. So she stiffens and says: The XYZ books are over there in the other part of the library.

Riven: "Wait, I know you."

Darcy, whispering: "I doubt it."

Riven: "I'm sorry, I don't want to be rude to a novitiate... But your voice..."

Darcy: "You know my old self, Riven." And turns around.

Riven gasps. He gasps because he didn't expect to see Darcy here. Because he didn't expect Darcy with her beautiful hair cut short. Darcy with a veil.

Darcy, embarassed, brushing a brand of her now short hair behind her ear: "The books you are looking for are over there." She points in the opposite direction and wants to pass by. But she stops. He is reaching for her hand at the same time.

Riven: "Sorry... I just didn't expect you here like..."

Darcy: "Like this?"

Riven: "I mean surrounded by books is totally your thing but..."

Darcy: "I know. It's okay. We can just pretend that we never met. You go research your things..and leave again."

Riven: "Darcy - "

Darcy: "But before you go, please." She faces him, her eyes blurry. "They don't tell me anything from outside. What did happen to Icy and Stormy? Are they... alive?"

Rivens, stiffens too. Firstly because he knows where they are. The Omega dimension. Bad news and secondly…because she didn’t ask about him. But in the end what could he tell her about himself? Hey, I’m dating Musa now. It’s hard because I can’t forget me and you did so much shit to me that I can barely heal…. So he just says: “After Darkar was defeated they were sent to Omega Dimension.”

Darcy steps back, her eyes widened in shock. “Omega dimension…”

Riven: “Darcy, I’m sorry but they’re probably –“

Darcy: “No it’s okay.” She brushes a tear from her cheek. “That time is over for me anyway.” They are not my business anymore and still… they were my sisters. She rushes to the door. “Farewell.” She doesn’t want he to see her crying.. again. Darcy hates being weak. And yet Riven was one of the few persons she showed weakness towards. The other two were freezing to death in Omega right now.

Riven, yelling: “Wait.”

Darcy stops at the door but doesn’t turn around.

Riven: “Are you here often?”

Darcy, shrugs: “Every day.”

Riven: “Then we’ll meet again.” A spark of a smile on his face.

Darcy doesn’t know how to deal with it and leaves, trying not to burst into tears. Once she reaches her cell, she breaks together crying. Over the missed chance she had with Riven and the possible death of her sisters. The sisters she had given everything up for. Even Riven.

When Riven returns to Red Fountain after their first meeting he is pale and serious so Brandon jokes: “Did you see a ghost.” And Riven replies. “I did.” And then he tells them about their encounter. And the boys are: Don’t you dare see her again. But he can’t help it and returns to Light Rock from time to time…more and more regularly. They will meet more often. And each time they get closer again. But by bit.

Maybe after I finish “Our abyss” this will come next! <3

Schwarze Rosen (Black Roses) - Lafee

- WHY IS THIS SO DRIVEN CODED???

Fr this song is written for Our Abyss!!

Lyrics translation:

Set fire to everything

Ashes blow in the wind

Standing before an abyss

I don't know where to go

Send an S.O.S.

And just hear my echo

I think there is

No rescue

What if there's nothing left soon?

Not a spark in the darkness

The world is burning and the sky is breaking

One last flash of lightning

(Ah)

It's raining black roses (Ah)

A thousand thorns on the ground (Ah)

I think we're lost

Black roses are raining down from above

Stars are falling from the clouds

Any help comes too late

All of us is broken

Count the stones on the path

There's not a spark of hope

Close your eyes

We're just treading on the embers

The world is burning and the sky is breaking

One last flash of lightning strikes

(Ah)

It's raining black roses (Ah)

A thousand thorns on the ground (Ah)

I think we're lost (Ah)

Black roses are raining down from above

(Ah)

It's raining black roses (Ah)

A thousand thorns on the ground (Ah)

I think we're lost (Ah)

From above Black roses are raining (Ah)

(Ah)

(Ah)

I think we're lost (Ah)

Black roses are raining from up above (Ah)

Lyrics x Our Abyss

- Darcy standing In front of the Abyss - she knows she's lost. She gave up hope and thinks she's Riven's ruin

Her nightmares of losing Riven - killing him by her own hand because she's his ruin.

A little excerpt from Our Abyss chapter 11:

The sun disappeared behind the clouds, shadows bathing the irises in a murky twilight.

Darcy could barely get a word out. Her throat felt dry. "What…"

"This whole thing," Riven continued. "I've been thinking, Darcy. We're just too different. All the things you've done are simply unforgivable."

Darcy felt her body freeze. "No, Riven, I—"

He raised his hand. "No, Darcy, let's be honest. You threw away our chance when you had me locked in the dungeon of Cloud Tower."

"But," she stammered, "that was Icy, I helped you—"

"Don't deflect," Riven's voice sharpened. "You destroyed everything we had. Why should I build something from ruins when there's a perfect world out there that welcomes me with open arms."

The sound of music filled her ears, a gentle tinkling, like the sound of fairy wings.

"I've suffered enough from you, Darcy."

Riven turned away, glancing at her disparagingly over his shoulder. "We're done with each other." Then he left without looking back.

The music grew louder, screeching, hurting her ears. Darcy slumped, falling to her knees among the irises, which were now withering in seconds and drooping their heads. She covered her ears, but the music still penetrated. One confusing wave of sound after another. Giving her a headache.

A cold wind swept across the clearing, and words reached her ears. Cold words from cold lips. "I told you, Darcy. I told you from the beginning, but you wouldn't listen. Now you have nothing. No coven and no boyfriend. You staked everything on one card and lost." It was as if she saw Icy's piercing blue eyes staring directly at her.

"No..." Darcy fell to her side, curling up. Bony fingers stroked her cheek, leaving bloody welts. "But Darcy, you destroyed everything. Everything. And now you are alone."

The meadow disappeared. Darkness surrounded Darcy. Cold, impenetrable gloom.

Orchids or irises were better, true, but black Roses fit too - remember the race in the Day of the Roses? The red roses symbolised their blooming love, the roses turn black and symbolise their downfall.

The last flash of lightning could symbolise Mirta, who's the last little light that can bring Darcy back from the world of nightmares.... Or the love she has for Riven. Just as you like.
