mountain runs so fucking cold in the winter (like the ground) so dew sleeps in mount's room mostly in the winter.
okay but imagine the parallel from dew and ifrit just cuddling together in bed, ifrit making sure that the tiny water ghoul is warm while he sleeps, ifrit hugging him close while dew's head is on his chest.
to dew laying on bed, hugging ifrit's cold shirt that got left behind right after the elements change, trying to warm it up so if he closes his eyes maybe he could pretend that ifrit is still with him but he doesn't control his fire that well yet and his body is shaking from pain every few seconds and he keeps burning holes into the shirt until it doesn't even smell like ifrit but just burnt fabric
The Handmaiden + Romantic Lines
Bonus:
The ghoulettes would offer to kill people's exes in the bar bathroom. They would share lipgloss and hand cream while doing it. They're entirely serious.

Dew: "Mountain and I have been married for two years now, but we eloped instead of having a proper ceremony, so we've been pretending like we're not together yet so that our friends think they're witnessing an adorable love story, when, in reality, I've had to witness this man take a shit while I'm in the shower already." Mountain: "Actually, it's usually you coming in to shit while I'm trying to bathe, because SOMEONE forgets they're lactose intolerant." Dew: "I don't forget, I just ignore it." Mountain: "That's not how it works-"
some aurora angst because she's on my mind and nothing's stopping me
so when she and phantom were summoned only one was supposed to be summoned, a quintessence ghoul. not a multi ghoul. yet she was still pulled from her safe place to a new different place and it hurt.
it hurt even more than it usually is because she and phantom were pulled together, at the same time exactly.
and she was welcomed with open arms but she couldn't get over the fact that she wasn't supposed to be there. she wasn't called. she wasn't the one they needed nor wanted.
sometimes she sits quietly somewhere cold in the middle of the night, because she doesn't feel like she deserves to be warm or like she deserves to sleep, and just looks at the burns that being summoned left on her physical form and thinks about how she wasn't meant to be in the band.
no one knows about those moments, she won't tell anyone, she don't want to bother them more than she already did by just being summoned.
