What’s the appeal with lunter for you?? Although I’m not into it personally, i’d love to know what makes it click for others!
Oh boy cracks knuckles let’s see how much I type before my hands give out
the narrative
Lunter narrative is SO good. The biggest thing is the Caleb/Evelyn parallels and OOHHHH BOYYY they came in strong with the parallels. The strongest parallel of the show is Caleb/Evelyn and Hunter/Luz. Luz Is literally a witch from another world that came to Hunter (via flapjack just to remind you) and introduced him to wild magic.
Like look at this art. It is chef’s kiss. This art makes me go brrr. Parallels my beloved. And the fact that Luz is a human witch, is outrageously poetic for two that aren’t suppose to have any romantic connection.
Also enemies to lovers trope is AMAZING. I will go apeshit if I see it.

22. two miserable people meeting at a wedding au from SEND ME A SHIP AND A NUMBER AND I’LL WRITE A SHORT FIC
IDK if this is entirely miserable on both of their parts, but neither of them is 100% happy right now.
AO3 (Archive-locked)
FFN
Mary had done well for herself, Darci supposed. Way better than all her high school boyfriends, and better than most of her college girlfriends. She was marrying a queen, and that wasn't an exaggeration of just how great Aja was. Aja was the queen of Akiridion-V who had turned down proposals from galactic royalty to marry the woman who did PR for the embassy. Mary was worth turning down all those proposals, and Darci was willing to fight anyone and everyone who disagreed.
She would have preferred fighting than the Tarron wedding, though. Everything here was so bright and loud. Even worse, while Mary herself had ordered only silk flowers as to not upset the allergies of her maid of honor, the guests who had brought flowers as gifts hadn't gotten the memo. That meant that Darci was overstimulated with allergies to boot. She wanted to scream, but she didn't want to ruin her best friend's wedding reception.
"I'm getting some air," Darci said vaguely in Mary's direction. Mary Tarron was too busy enjoying herself and her time with her new wife. It was fine.
Darci made her way onto the nearest balcony and was startled by the fact that it was already occupied by a beautiful woman. She appeared to be human and was wearing a dark purple dress with an array of glittering silver hairpins. While she appeared to be Darci's age, the combination of white streaks and the tired look in the woman's eyes made her seem a few years older at first glance.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were, here, I just -"
"Needed a minute away from the hubub?" The woman smiled goodnaturedly. "I get it; I've been to some previous balls and they were also exhausting, though they took more time to reach that status."
Darci found herself wishing that she had been Mary's plus one to more embassy events. Maybe she could have built up a tolerance. "I take it you work for the embassy?"
Gee, Darce, way to state the obvious, she thought to herself.
"No." Perhaps it wasn't obvious, then. "I'm an old friend of Aja's - I'm from Arcadia Oaks."
Arcadia Oaks, the small town about an hour west of Mary and Darci's hometown of San Bernadino. Aja had lived there for a few months when the two of them and her brother had escaped a coup.
"I'm Claire, by the way. I saw you standing next to Mary, but I don't think I caught your name?"
"Darci."
"Well, Darci, I might be overstepping, but you seem overstimulated. I know a way to fix that; would you like me to?"
"Yes, please." Claire stepped towards Darci, and her hand hovered over Darci's right temple. The air around Claire's hair grew dark, and as she made an arc across Darci's eyes to her other temple, the lights grew muted.
"Feeling better?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, uh, what did you just do?"
"I'm a wizard; it'll wear off in an hour and a half. Feel free to find me then to redo the spell, unless you'd rather hang out and continue talking?"
Darci certainly wanted to keep hanging out with Claire.
The light in the middle of his chest grew brighter, but not from his own core. Purple, jagged veins sprouted from the light and spread across his body.

Whatever this guy’s plans are, Krel will not help him willingly, but how long before he figures that out and goes after Krel’s friends as leverage? How long before someone gets hurt or worse because of him? Krel can’t go through that again.
First thought: oh hey I could do cagemates for this because Douxie's got a massive scar and they could be grieving [REDACTED] and... oh wait I don't want to spoil that angsty thing that happens 😈
Okay, so, actual answer now.
I think this fic would start out with Krel asking about the scar on the back of Krel's hand, and Douxie admits that he's pretty sure he's had it since his mom died. Krel asks about her, since Douxie never mentioned her before. Douxie is about to reply that he doesn't remember her; that she doesn't matter because Merlin and Archie were the only family he ever had growing up, when he remembers.
He remembers memories he has blocked off due to trauma since he was three years old. He remembers the way she died. He remembers who killed her.
Of course he finally remembers, because Arthur killed both of Douxie's parents in the exact same way with the exact same blade.
(Also, this would only be heavily implied in the fic but never outright stated, but this would be a Mordred!Douxie fic because hey, what's some extra trauma of Douxie's biological father killing both of Douxie's real parents?)
Claire's horns resemble Morgana's helmet, and she was born with flecks of gold acting like freckles dotting her otherwise amethyst body. Between these cosmetic reasons and the innate magical abilities she has even as a child, Claire is given special training before she actually becomes Claire. (She still doesn't have a name until she replaces the daughter of Javier and Ophelia)
Claire genuinely believes that the Pale Lady truly cares for her children, and that it's Claire's duty in life to serve her to the best of her ability.
Claire claims that she has no need for a mother other than the Mother of Monsters, but she is closer to Ophelia here than she is in canon. This is because Claire thinks that being closer to a politician will make Claire a better asset to the Janus Order and therefore the Eldritch Queen.
Claire becomes genuinely close to Enrique. She adores her little brother. And then he's replaced by NotEnrique and suddenly, she finds that she has desires that counter the Janus Order's will. (On a somewhat related note about desires that counter the Janus Order's will: jl/aire probably wouldn't happen in this AU, but I could see slowburn warstaff possibly happening).
Claire finds herself working against Gunmar, but she still wants to do her best to find an alternate way to serve the Pale Lady, because this is what she's been trying to do for as long as she can remember.
And then she meets Morgana. The Pale Lady is nothing like what Claire hoped she would be.
Claire's familiar is renamed to Maria and raised as Enrique's twin sister since they're so close in age. Maria and Enrique don't learn the truth about her connection to Claire until she's in mid-elementary school.
