From my work in AO3 Winx Club's Headcanons
I’m also going to rewrite this one but… let’s talk about it a bit.
I firmly believe that Saladin financially supported the specialists… Why do I think that? They found a place that was way too good before they even started working… with what money?
I mean, it had to be Saladin. How was he going to send them off with not a single coin in their pockets? Obviously not.
Also, if we look at the comics, when Helia decides to leave school, Saladin immediately offers him money. I don’t remember if he accepted it, but I know he offered. And besides, how was he going to send his only grandson off just like that… not like Sky’s father, who only found out later that Sky was on Earth basically pawning off Eraklyon’s royal treasure…
I also think Helia would report any issues with the apartment or work back to Saladin. Not in a complaining way, more like mission reports or even joking about their problems. I imagine they’re really close and talk at least once a day or every couple of days.
And I’m sure Helia talked a lot about Flora—about how worried he was, how he could notice when she wasn’t okay but didn’t want to overwhelm her…
Another theory about Season 4, since that’s the topic: I think they all had separate bedrooms, but only two bathrooms. So the real problem was at night if everyone wanted to use the bathroom at the same time. Mornings were only chaotic if one of the girls stayed over—especially Stella—because they’d take over the bathroom and annoy everyone. Though none of the guys complained… their girlfriends do the same, so it was better to stay quiet.
Another thing I noticed about Florelia in Season 4 is that I do think their relationship became more intense during their time on Earth—much more intimate.
For example, in the scene where the girls go to the park to teach Roxy how to be a fairy, and they stop by the bar first—how Roxy had to pull Flora away from Helia, and how her was touching his lips… fangirl screaming, I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.
Then later, when the animals spill the smoothies, and Florelia is cutting and squeezing lemons—Flora gets some in her eye, Helia gets worried, but she tricks him and splashes a bit on him…
It felt like they had grown into a deeper level of trust, unlike Season 3 (in my imagination), where they were still in that “honeymoon phase” but didn’t yet have the confidence to make playful or mischievous jokes. There was still that hesitation, that fear of being annoying or somehow ruining things.
But by Season 4, it was all trust—except when it came to Flora talking about her powers (I’ll get into that in another section or chapter).
By then, they trusted each other enough to speak up when something bothered them, or to call each other out over small things that in the past they might have thought were annoying. They also slept together—not just for comfort, but simply because they’d go on dates and end up staying over at each other’s place (headcanon of season 3).
Not very often, though, so they wouldn’t bother the others. But honestly, Helia would have moved in with her on Earth if he could—he just didn’t say it because he knew Flora wouldn’t want to leave her friends in the middle of a mission.
In summary, Season 4—as I’ve said a million times—had so much potential. It was one of the best seasons to explore the lives of adult fairies, with real responsibilities as guardians.
I would have loved to see each of them briefly return to their realms to handle unfinished business. For example, the princesses dealing with paperwork, making decisions for their kingdoms, or simply being reminded by their parents that they are heirs to the throne and need to begin (or continue) their preparation.
Or maybe not even physically return, but at least mention it—like having to check on something, or receiving a call from their parents. Being on a mission doesn’t erase their responsibilities in the Magic Dimension.
But anyway… it was the last season with a strong plot before they did what we all know they did… and well…
