OCKiss Day 2: Playful

Second day of the event featuring @barnabyjr’s lovely Aurora Asp! And a little snippet that I jotted out that made me giggle!

Wrong Girl…Right View!

Orpheus dipped from the sky into the forest’s dense pines. From a branch he wordlessly hopped to the ground with the lazy grace of something that belonged to the trees. He’d followed the white-haired figure through the pines with one singular purpose, find his cousin, start a fight, win it with words, reveal in her irritation and leave before her temper struck him.

But when the girl stepped into a spill of pale light, it was then that he noticed, he wasn’t following Carina. It was Aurora.

“Asp?”

The grin on his face didn’t vanish so much as it carefully melted away, until only his usual stillness remained.

Aurora didn’t slow. “Kerr,” she said without looking back, “why are you following me?”

“I mistook you for Carina,” Orpheus replied. “An honest error.”

Aurora finally glanced over her shoulder, her scarred brow lifting. “If you’re looking for another dalliance in the castle,” she drawled, “you’ll find Carina in the library.”

Orpheus made a sound, somewhere between a scoff and a shudder. “Merlin forbid. She’s my cousin. I was hoping to verbally spar with her. Tease her about Cat.”

He paused, as if remembering something unpleasant. “Besides, I wouldn’t do that in the library. Carina, and Madam Scribner, would have my hide nailed to a shelf.”

That earned him a real look.

Aurora’s brows rose slightly, as if she wasn’t used to him offering more than a few words at a time. Her eyes, green and bright, sharpened by the forest’s shade, caught the light when she turned.

Emeralds.

Pretty. Shiny.

Aurora faced forward again and continued down the narrow path. Orpheus followed, telling himself he wasn’t trailing her like a lovesick Kneazle.

That was a lie.

He wanted to see her eyes flash again.

They walked in the hush of the forest, birdcall above, wind threading through needles, the world behaving itself for once. And then the trees thinned, opening into a small overlook where the land dipped away into rolling green and far-off water catching the sky.

Aurora stopped at the edge, breath leaving her in a soft gasp.

“It’s beautiful,” she murmured.

Orpheus looked out at the view like it was a painting he’d already judged and filed away. “Mm.” His gaze fixed from the view before him to the curve of Aurora’s neck, the way her cheeks flushed from the walk.

Aurora turned her head sharply. “Don’t tell me you’re unimpressed.”

“I’m rarely impressed,” he replied dryly.

She made an exasperated sound. “Then why did you follow me all this way?”

Orpheus stepped closer, just enough to steal the space beside her without asking for it. His gaze slid from the horizon to her face, calm and unapologetic.

“I wasn’t following the scenery,” he said.

Aurora’s mouth parted as she sighed. Her gaze lingering over the view.

Orpheus leaned in and pressed a light kiss to her cheek. Soft, teasing, but with enough heat to send a shiver down her spine.

Aurora froze. A soft, startled gasp escaped her before she could swallow it, and her hand rose to her cheek like she expected the warmth to vanish if she didn’t catch it in time.

“I’m trying to enjoy the view,” she managed, voice betraying her.

Orpheus’ lips curved, small, wicked, unmistakably pleased.

“And I’m trying to enjoy you,” he said.

For a heartbeat she simply stared at him, emerald eyes wide, as if the forest had shifted under her feet.

“Oh?” she murmured.

Orpheus’ brow lifted, faintly amused. “Oh.”

Aurora stepped into his space instead of away, she grabbed the front of his shirt, tugging him down just enough to plant a bold kiss at the corner of his mouth, lingering a beat too long, her lips brushing his with electric promise.

It lasted a heartbeat.

Long enough to steal his next line.

Aurora pulled back with a satisfied little hum, eyes flashing wickedly. “Now,” she said, voice light, “I’m trying to enjoy the view.”

The tiniest pause betrayed him, like his mind had to reset its footing.

Then his mouth curved again, slower this time. Warmer.

“Careful,” he murmured, leaning just a fraction closer. “If you keep doing that, I’ll start following you on purpose.”

Aurora’s cheeks warmed, but she refused to look away. “You already are.”

Orpheus’ gaze flicked to her lips and back to her eyes. “Perhaps,” he said, voice a low velvet threat, “I simply like getting what I want.”

Aurora scoffed, but it sounded breathless. “Insufferable.”

“And yet,” Orpheus said, thumb brushing her wrist, “you’re still standing close.”

“Don’t get smug,” she warned.

Orpheus’ grin deepened by a fraction.

how would each of your canon ships react to your fanon ships? For example: hypothetical OC is shipped with canon character Amit- but you’ve also made another ship between said OC and another person’s character!! How does the ship between OC x Amit react to this other ship, and vice versa?😋

(Who doesn’t love a little multiverse madness right?)

Oh my dear sweet Ruby, you do love your drama!

So let’s get to it!

I’m at the tail end of my 12 hour shift, so I hope this makes sense…if not, apologies!

Lets hit Omina first, my beloved Ominis x Carina ship, my OG fever dream. For this one I’ve got two options, Catarina (Cataria Leftwing x Carina) and Adarina (Adair Wood x Carina).

Omina vs Catarina

My Omina Carina would be a tad bewildered and very intrigued with Catarina, to say the least, she is a very curious bean, but would truthfully be pretty chill. Ominis on the other hand, wouldn’t like it, such a moody and broody jealous boy, even if that version of Carina isn’t his.

Now that Catarina Carina would probably be just as chill as her counter part, but perhaps a touch less bewildered. I can’t speak for @weebiecreep’s girl of course, Cat is such a wonderful and complex character.

Omina vs Adarina

A can of worms has just been opened and all hell has broken loose. The Omina Carina is flustered and wonders what the Adair Carina is thinking, what in Merlin’s name prompted her to go for such a player

And her Ominis is seething, trauma be damned, he’d happily cast Crucio now.

Meanwhile, while I can’t speak for @amethystandemma’s Adair, the Adarina Carina is happily content with her choice in tree climbing, 100% fueled by hormones hahaha. Get it girl! She couldn’t care less about the Omina pairing. Shes too busy making bedroom eyes at Adair.

Moving right along!

The Orpheus ships!! For those who don’t know, his canon ship is actually Garreth aka Kerreth. Now, the opposing ships being Orphelyn (Orpheus x Jocelyn Bell), Golden Lyre(Leo Lovegood x Orpheus), Orbeez(Orpheus x Bee Bluelake), and Askerr?(Aurora Asp x Orpheus Kerr).

Garreth is bewildered, confused and a bit put out that the Orphelyn Orpheus is dating his cousin. Now Jocie is just as intrigued that her cousin is dating a version of her man and is clinging to her Orpheus like a second skin. And the Kerreth Orpheus is confused and considering therapy, because how are they seeing him with other people. And the Orphelyn Orpheus is just as confused as the Kerreth version, and a tad jealous of him as well. Now as it goes for Gokden lyre, Garreth is jealous of Leo, pulling his man like that. And the Golden Lyre Orpheus is smug about it, not really jealous, cause his boyfriend is hot AF! I imagine Leo would be a tad jealous, self esteem issues and all that, but @lyra-prag is the expert on her boy.

Garreth would melt looking at Orbeez, the ship that makes my man whore a wholesome monogamous pent up bean for his sweet Bee. Kerreth Orpheus would be questioning his sanity, diligently trying to figure out how this relationship happened. The Orbeez Orpheus would enter full on protect mode and be glaring daggers at Kerreth, daring them to come near his Bee. Bee on the other hand would be most likely flustered and embarrassed? @creampuffcloudsdreaming any insight in how she’s feeling, by all means hop on in.

Mostly all of the Orpheus present look like this hehehe

Now as far as Askerr?…

Kerreth Garreth is weirded out, Aurora looks like Orpheus’ cousin and he’s wondering how a relationship with such an odd loner girl happened. Kerreth Orpheus is deeply considering crawling into the black lake and letting the squid take him because these delusions are quite gripping.

Askerr Orpheus and Aurora have no issue with the couple before them and are adamantly denying any relationship, situationship, etc… between themselves, isn’t that right @barnabyjr. What do you mean there’s a relationship there. No there isn’t. What hickey. Those are not scratch marks. That is not the imprint of teeth, they can assure you. Meanwhile that Orpheus is internally the image below, cause damn if they haven’t been caught and singled out hahaha.
