Misty is Medusa and Blind!Cordelia Headcanons
As follows Misty is Medusa, she was r*ped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Athena turned her into a gorgon with snakes for hair and the ability to turn any creature that looks at her into stone.
The whole Perseus debacle never happened. Misty currently resides in a cave beside the swamps of Lafayette, Louisiana.
The towns people never go around the swamp believing the whole myth about Misty as they found statues of men around the swamp area over the years.
Misty loves protecting life, so she lives in such a state of sadness knowing her curse would turn any creature to stone. She learns the habit of closing her eyes whenever she hears a wild animal at the distance.
She cries whenever she accidentally turns a bird to stone and not being able to help it back to life.
Cordelia is still a witch, the coven worships Hecate. The supremacy was Hecate's gift.
As the coven were looking for the new supreme in the name of Hecate and the coven's sake, the witch hunters were responsible for blinding Cordelia with acid in order for her to be more dependent to Hank.
Hank's plan backfires as Cordelia gains the gift of the sight.
Fiona frames Myrtle of the acid attack and Cordelia is left struck and vulnerable.
Cordelia may have been blind but she can still manage to wander around with her stick although not too far.
Cordelia loves wandering around to clear her mind.
She usually wanders around for her to get away and cope from the stress of a divorce with Hank, the responsibility of being headmistress, and specially Fiona being constantly up her ass.
She adopts a guide dog and names her Talaria. She calls her Tally for short. She's mystical, and Cordelia swears she can undestand and think just like a human being. When she held Talaria at the adoption center for the first time, Talaria drew her in, she thinks Talaria is magical.
Cordelia then got used to being blind with Talaria to thank.
With Talaria around Cordelia gets far when she does her wandering.
She finds out Myrtle was framed and she got furious.
She took Talaria with her and leaves. She walks and walks till she and Talaria reaches Misty's swamp.
Cordelia accidentally bumps a statue, it falls and makes a loud thud. Misty hears the noise and swarms to where the sound is since she knows no creature is strong enough to bump off the statues.
Talaria kept barking at Misty once she saw her. Cordelia tries to hush Talaria.
Talaria (conveniently) does not turn to stone as Misty saw her. This baffles Misty.
What baffles Misty even more is seeing a beautiful, golden haired woman who seem to not be able to see.
Misty asks "Who are you?" firmly because its not everyday Misty encounters a beautiful human & her dog and not turn them into stone.
Misty is now admiring observing the golden haired older woman as she was fascinated. She creeps closer to Cordelia.
"I'm Cordelia Goode. I'm a witch, I worship Hecate-
Misty's hair hisses at Cordelia and she swivers off. She does not want to be pissing off another Goddess more so the Goddess of Witchcraft thank you very much. Cordelia flinches to the hissing.
Cordelia senses Misty leaving as she hears twigs break under Misty's steps.
"WAIT! I mean no harm." Cordelia reaches up to Misty and she gasps.
Cordelia's gift of the sight made her see Misty's god awful past.
"You are Misty. You were cursed by Athena as punishment for the sins you were merely a victim of. Whatever you think about me, I am no threat. I-"
Misty pulls away from Cordelia's grasp and runs back to her cave.
In her cave she cries at the thought of one beautiful blind witch finally seeing her as a victim and not the monster she was cursed to be. It scared her.
Cordelia was awestruck of the turn of events, she tells Tally that they need to come back home.
Cordelia grew confused as she had read all about the Myth of Misty before when she was able to see. Who hadn't? She wasn't aware she'd be around Louisiana.
What makes her even more confused is Talaria not turning into stone. She then finds out Talaria is a magical creature that is immune to many vulnerabilities as she heard Queenie tell her Talaria didn't bleed nor bat an when a vase accidentally fell to her.
Cordelia goes to the swamp everyday with Talaria because there's something about the gorgon that drew her in like a magnet, it may have been curiosity or fascination but she knows she wants to learn more and help Misty.
Misty would often see Cordelia wandering her swamp with her mutt. Nice now she has a witch trailing her around. great. the gods really favored her, huh?
Misty would often gaze from afar afraid of forming any connections with the witch.
One day 3 Gator Hunters find Cordelia at Misty's swamp. Thinking that Cordelia had been around, it means that there's no threat whatsoever and the whole Misty Myth is bullcrap, they approached Cordelia with bad intentions.
Talaria kept barking at them and one of them kicked her but she kept jumping back up until one of them shot Tally. Cordelia shouted for help.
Misty contemplated whether to help her but once she saw Talaria fall from the shot and the men pushing Cordelia down whilst unzipping their fly, Misty storms over.
As they saw Misty in horror they turned into stone.
Misty turns to Cordelia and checks if she was okay. Misty doesn't want Cordelia to experience what she had been through.
Cordelia reassured Misty she was okay but she held unto Talaria to check if she was alive.
Misty carries Talaria on her shoulder carefully and uses her free hand to guide Cordelia to her cave where it's safe.
As she sets Talaria down Cordelia asks Misty to guide her hand where Talaria is so she could hold her.
Misty hesitates to hold Cordelia's hand again as she remembers Cordelia's gift of the sight.
Before Cordelia gets to hold Talaria, Talaria slowly heals herself and her body instantly pushes the once pierced bullet out.
Misty was so surprised and looks at Tally in wonder. Misty describes the occurence to Cordelia out loud.
Tally is now up and runs over to Cordelia and Cordelia happily holds her.
Cordelia and Misty both giggle from relief as they thought Talaria was not gonna make it.
Talaria goes to Misty and licks her face.
"Down! Down girl, yeah yeah you're magic. Gods you scared me."
"You should've seen those monsters' faces when they saw me."
"Well, I'm not able to do that as of the moment."
"Shit, I'm so sorry, I forgot you're- I got carried a-"
"No no, it's fine." Cordelia giggles, Misty thinks the witch has the most beautiful giggle she had ever heard.
"Thank you for helping me, Misty."
That was the start of their beautiful friendship.
.....or maybe something more?
