Last but never least, Freddie the witch is here to bring some magic to this Halloween! This time he's wearing a special leotard, sparkly and magical under the moonlight, while with his magic sceptre he's ready to rule the party like the true Queen he is! 🥰💜💜💜
I really loved drawing him and here's another little speedpainting, I hope you'll enjoy and don't forget to check the other three as well! ✨️👑

My entry for Maycury Week 2022 organised by @rhyewritersstudio , featuring Witch Freddie and Vampire Brian from my Witches×Monsters AU 💕
"If we can find a place we actually belong, where we're at peace, who's to deny us?"
I really wanted to make something new with my Witches×Monsters AU (that you can read here!) and I thought this was a perfect occasion to explore Brian and Freddie's bond in this story. If you thought I forgot about this AU you're wrong, and I hope to be able to create more content for it soon 🥺💕 I loved drawing this and I'm incredibly happy with the result!

I wrote a lil drabble under the cut, nothing new if you know this AU but I feel it's a nice extra 🥰 It’s set when the boys are already at the Witches’ cottage, a safe place where all of them can be themselves and practice magic without Hunters around, but Brian still needs a boost to his confidence and some reassuring words.
Brian had just woken up, the Sun almost setting on the horizon before leaving space to the Moon and the darkness she carried with her. It was a bit early for him, but Chrissie was already cooking and the broth’s scent filled Brian's nostrils, though it wasn't enough to lighten his mood.
He sat on a bench in the garden, admiring the setting Sun, and missing the real warmth of the day. It was another gloomy moment for him, his still heart constantly aching for being a Vampire, a curse imposed on him against his will.
When he walked out the cottage as well, Freddie noticed Brian's dark face and sat next to him. For the past few years he blamed himself for Mary's attack against Brian, her choice of turning him into a vampire and not Freddie; she was Freddie's friend, but that was a betrayal and he put a hex on her to keep her afar, and yet he still felt it was his fault if Brian was now cursed. But it wasn't the only reason for his care about Brian, his friendship was genuine since when Bri was still a human.
"Hey, Bri."
Brian's red eyes glowed in the sunset, warm and kind despite the color, and Freddie smiled.
"Freddie." He nodded, his curls bouncing. "Sorry, it seems today I'm missing the Sun and the brightness of the daylight."
"You know you don't have to excuse yourself with me, darling." Freddie nudged his arm and Bri gave him a sheepish smile, his pointy canines poking out his lips. "What else is troubling you?"
"I... I don't know, I feel getting blood from Chrissie as well is unfair, she and the other girls are sheltering us and I'd want to help instead of making her weaker." He murmured, aware that he needed blood to survive and that Freddie and Chrissie were offering their blood to drink every once in a while, when the animal prey caught by the Werewolves weren’t enough.
Freddie shook his head, acknowledging Brian’s troubles. "I saw her, she's doing well! But... if you want to help, just go inside and give her a hand with the dinner!" He suggested. More than often Brian needed a distraction to his own thoughts, let it be music, astronomy, or -more recently- Chrissie herself.
"Freddie?" The Vampire stretched his skinny arms.
"Yes?"
"Do you think I'll be useful to the group one day? John and Roger are skilled and powerful Werewolves, you and the girls are amazing Witches... and I'm just a sad Vampire." He moped, earning a patient eye roll from Freddie, framed by a thick line of kohl.
"You're not just a sad Vampire, Brian!" The Witch placed a friendly hand on his back in a soothing gesture. "You're our friend and I love you no matter what!"
Freddie inflated his hairy chest, doing everything he could to boost his best friend’s confidence, being earnest about his feelings and just letting him know that he was there, as always, a steady point in their lives.
"You're intelligent and have a heart of gold, Brian, and I'm sure one day you'll be able to master all your Vampire powers and turn your sorrow into art, as we all do. And it'll be brighter than everyone's, I tell you!" He gave Brian a huge bright smile, showing his teeth he was usually so shy about, and a small light started glowing in Brian’s still heart.
"Do you really believe it, Freddie?"
"Absolutely. Look into my eyes, Bri. You can do anything! And if you have any doubt or fear... we're all here for you."

Owww yess here we go 💕💕💕
Freddie, Brian and the two wolves followed the three witches to their house, their invitation for a cozy night in front of the fireplace and a good bowl of soup was already making all of them all fuzzy.
It was then that they noticed two yellow eyes glowing in the woods, right next to their big cottage. A shiver ran down Freddie's spine and he clutched onto his crystal pendant, ready to cast a spell.
The creature growled and stomped closer, shaking the trees as he walked by, until it showed itself in front of the whole group gritted his teeth with another growl. Roger started barking at him, angry and loud, while John stayed back but was growling as well, ready to attack.
"Jim! Don't worry, they're with us." Dominique raised a hand in front of the monster's face and he sniffed the air, smelling the men and the wolves' scents.
"Can you please allow us home?" Dom asked once more and Jim finally leaned his forehead against her hand, earning some soft caresses from the witch. Roger and John calmed down seeing that the creature was tamed and also Brian and Freddie relaxed.
"What... who is that?" Fred asked, getting closer to Jim with awe.
"He's Jim, our house's guardian. He lives in the forest around here, we don't know exactly what kind of creature he is... but he's good, he protects us and the woods from hunters and we take care of him in exchange, with food and some company." Chrissie explained and Dominique slowly led Freddie's hand on Jim's head.
Jim opened his eyes and stared directly in Freddie's. He felt his heart skipping a beat, they were the same color of the sunset, huge and gentle, while his head was covered in a soft moss and he had flowers sprouting here and there. His body seemed made with stone and wood held together by magic, and Freddie thought that was the most unique and beautiful creature he's ever seen.
He didn't resist the urge to hug Jim, even though he was as big as his arm, and smiled against the soft chest.
The creature tilted his head glancing at Dominique and she chuckled. "Now let's go in, shall we?"
It wasn't easy for Freddie to leave the hug, but in the end he gave Jim a final wave and followed the others inside the house, walking next to the ladies.
John and Roger are childhood friends, when John's family has been attacked by a werewolf and he got "infected", Roger's family took care of him (the werewolf who attacked John was actually a rival of Roger's family).
Brian and Freddie knew each other for a while thanks to some common astronomy studies but Bri at first didn't know that Freddie was a witch and his studies were actually for magic purposes. Mary is a very old Vampire and was a close friend of Freddie secretly looking for someone to turn into a Vampire, but she didn't want to ""ruin her friendship with Fred"" so Brian got to be her victim. Of course Freddie got mad at her (friendship ruined anyway ayy), he aided Brian and ran away with him.
The two duos met almost randomly during the beginning of the witch hunt, Vampires and Werewolves were also targets and immediately something sparkled between the four of them, they were able to watch each other's back and eventually fight all together!
