Title: Warning Prompt: lover100 Table B, #088 Fandom: Insektors Pairing: Acylius/Aelia Rating: T Word Count: 5,117 Summary: Aelia’s mother finally returns to Flower City after seven years of absence. She’s not happy to learn that her daughter is dating a Yuk. Warnings: Fantastic racism, OC POV, unhealthy coping mechanisms (Nereida has Issues). Notes: Post-canon work; contains spoilers for everything. This fic introduces Nereida, my OC for Aelia’s mother, and some backstory to explain why she isn’t present during the series. While I haven’t sketched out her design yet, she’s based on a luna moth (though with a sea green colouring rather than the lime green typical of the species). Her nicknames for Fulgor and Aelia come from the translation of their names--fulgor is Latin for lightning, brightness, or flash; while Aelia’s name may derive from the Greek aella, meaning storm or whirlwind. (Nereida’s own name is taken from the Greek nereid, or sea nymph.)
