Scorned Via AU Pt.1

Scorned Via AU pt.1

Asks are welcome for her! I'll be answering it under #scornedoctavia !

CW familial abuse, incest, incestuous abuse, sexual abuse <mentions only, self harm, eating disorders, addiction

With the expulsion and betrayal of her father, leaving her with her abusive uncle and unstable mother, Octavia is left even more distraught and lost then ever before.

At first it was easy to blame everything on her father, but then she caught onto her Uncles abusive tendencies, how he treated her mother... She always had a feeling her mothers immature nature was hiding something more, how she drowned herself in socializing and making sure to be around others all the time. But when her uncle moved in, something had changed. He isolated both her and her mother, even more then they were under Stolas's "care", he was flippant with his mood, and especially affectionate to her mother. Her mother never seemed quite comfortable, though clearly she just wanted to make her brother proud and took it on the chin.

It wasn't just her mother he was... affectionate with. He called her by her nickname despite never being in her life before. " Via~ " a slimy tone. lingering touches on her shoulders that made her shudder. She knew her uncle was gay, she had the misfortune of being left home alone by her parents every time he had a wedding to a new suitor, those never lasted. Surely he was just... flamboyant. It wasn't too different then her fathers sexual comments around her to do with that... man.

She found herself pulling out her feathers, leaving a right mess of her hair and tail, bald patches covered her weakened body. She had stolen some of her fathers old cigarettes, smoking seemed to calm her mind, if only slightly. Taking care of herself became harder, she often found herself unable to muster up the courage to undress to bathe when her uncle was in the mansion. No matter the wing he was in, no matter if the door was locked. She believed it was a stupid fear, but a fear nonetheless.

The date of her 18th was fast approaching, not that it mattered. She had no one to celebrate it with, and it wasn't like anything would change once she turned 18. Or at least that's what she thought. Wandering the mansion, a habit she had started when all of her fathers stuff had finally been disposed of. Chitter came from the longue her mother and uncle often inhabited, though this time something was different. Her mothers voice was booming, though less scratchy as it usually was, these shouts clearly came from the bottom of her chest. Octavia had never heard her mother use such a tone. "ARE YOU INSANE? SURELY YOU ARE PULLING MY FEATHERS" Stella growled, though the man only cooly replied "Oh, dearest~ sister, why would i ever joke about family affairs like this?". Stellas beak audibly snapped shut at the tone, he continued "Marrying our lovely Via off will advance our families bloodline within the Goetia, surely even you can wrap that pwetty, wittle head around that~!" in a cooing tone. Octavia gasped in utter shock, HE was planning on getting rid of her? at the thought the shock dissipated as this made complete sense, he was a selfish greedy man, of course he would. Octavia cautiously peered into the longue to listen in further...

To be continued!

Authors note: This is my first time trying to fully write out dark themes like this. I understand if people are uncomfortable, but I by no means intend to romanticize or normalize this subject matter! Like all authors I'm pulling from my life experience and what I've witnessed around me, so I'll try my best to be authentic and honest with these themes.

I am by no means affiliated with d4rkfic/pr0para/ship/fic/d34dd0ve or any of that stupid shit lmao.

Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.

So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.

I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.

They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)

They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.

Remember when Merlin collapsed in front of everyone and all that Arthur did was roll his eyes and his close friend Gwaine just stared at him and the only one who rushed to check on him was Lancelot? What the hell was that about huh

The number of people I have seen talking about how millie cheated is so worrying 😟

Like, guys, Millie characteristic (for the longest time) is that she loves her husband

Why in the world would she cheat?

She probably stressed/worried for 2 reasons

● Imp won't let her do her job now since she pregnant

Since it is stressful and dangerous, the 2 biggest things you should avoid being pregnant

(And I realized while typing this that the writers are going to have stolas take over her job and work with imp in the human world)

● plus, it clearly implied that Millie and moxxie never talked about the idea of having kids. Or they did, but they planned to have kids more in the future

So it got Millie stressful on what moxxie reaction will be and what their life will look now with baby in it

On todays episode of “what the actual fuck is wrong with the hellaverse fandom”:

I don’t think I need to explain this one 😭

(I hate radioapple too but that doesn’t make incest fine and dandy like what the hell)

LMFAO toxic polycule with three way cheating all around. Arthur and Gwen are married but Gwen is also having an affair with Lancelot who is having an affair with Merlin who is having an affair with Arthur who is having an affair with Lancelot who is having an affair with Gwen who is having an affair with Merlin- idk how they get caught/exposed/confess but I just think toxic polycule whatever the fuck their ship name is is kinda funny. Also. Gwaine is there? For some reason? Hes Merlin’s boytoy on the side. Arthur has angry sex with him when the agony of lying to your three lovers gets too much and Gwaine pushes him just far enough. Oh, and Gwaine’s boyfriend Percival is over there holding hands with his boyfriend Elyan who is also Gwaine’s boyfriend.

Oh. This is definitely all leading up to Camelot being a huge polycule. Isn’t it? Leon is in a qpr with all of them. And hates it. (Just kidding, he loves all his idiots. He just wishes they made better decisions. Or let him rest.)

lol Morgana betrayed Camelot bc she got voted out of the polycule. Gwen stands with her hot canceled wife.

Idk where this is going anymore. It started off being a silly haha mutual cheating idea I was laughing at but now. Now we’re here.

I don't know if this if a fic already but building on that one trope. The one where after arthur dies they ALL get sent back to the day merlin comes to camelot.

That, but merlin is the only one who doesn't know what has happened in the last timeline. (To reverse time has to give up his memories.)

And everyone is acting weird like the prince is glaring at his father and father's ward and is being really nice to me.

The king is keeps glaring at me but everytime he tries to be mean to me the prince just puts his hand on his sword. Gwen my new best friend is trying to set me up with my employer. And I just met these nice (and good looking) men. I think gwaine and lancelot know about my magic. Maybe the king too but I'm not sure since the prince doesn't let him talk to me.

The king's ward is kinda avoiding me for some reason, but she's kinda warming up to me.

The other servant keep treating me like a lord for some reason.

When I went to visit my mother there was a man named balinor who is actually my father and is a fucking dragonlord.

The dragon under the castle is kinda weird, keeps wanting me to bring a sword or something.

I might do something with this in the future, it will take me while.
