YES THANK YOU I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS. Prepare for word vomit alkjfslkjf
Basically Loop, Siffrin, Bonnie, and Petra settle down in a house in Bambouche and are a cute little family. Loop has gotten really into Crafting various things with various spells attached, so they run a market stall and then eventually a little shop called "From Beyond the Stars".
Siffrin teaches acting/theater at the high school. It's the same one Lunette works at, so they become buddies very quickly. They even help her lead the anti-bullying committee.
With two incomes, Petra is able to not work, and pursue other hobbies and interests.
Siffrin is committed to creating a stress free space for their students. They frequently remind them that "this is a class where we play pretend. I want you to be comfortable and have fun!" And gives everyone straight 'A's. Which makes kids sign up thinking it's a blow-off class, only to be floored by all the joy and acceptance and have a safe space.
Siffrin eventually becomes the adult that students come to when they have problems they can't discuss with their parents. Even to the point where students will call him (just playing calvinball with call craft w/e) when one of their friends gets too high off edibles.
I have so many comics and headcanons and oneshots. My favorite 3 are under the cut:
One where Bonnie breaks their arm, and Siffrin can't legally go into the exam room with them because he's not registered as a legal guardian (idk if this is how it works lol). In fact, he's not registered as a citizen of Vaugarde.
They go to Loop like, according to the law we're not parents and we're not bonded and we don't exist.
So they drag Bonnie and Petra along to, idk would it be a courthouse? To fill out a fuckton of paperwork. They get to the part of the registration where they fill out their names, and think, huh... Maybe... No, that would be overstepping, right? They ask Bonnie and Petra if they could take their last name. The two of them say they assumed they were gonna do that anyway.
They also put Stardust and Starlight as their middle names to be cute. And do a little, "You may now kiss your spouse!" when they turn in the bonding forms.
One where they're in a D&D group, and Loop opts to play a woman. They hit this intense boss battle where the boss simpers and calls Loop's character a little girl.
Loop gets up and slams their hands on the table, "I'M NOT A GIRL!!!"
Everyone is like oh fuck oh no we crossed a gender line oh fuck.
Until Loop says, "I'm a woman." And blasts the boss with a final spell.
After the session Siffrin is like... You okay?
And Loop has this big gender revelation. And is incredibly embarrassed "I literally shouted 'I'm a woman' why am I so stupid????"
She/they Loop <3 my beloved.
Another one: Siffrin and their co-director are running auditions for the next school play. When interviewing each kid, Siffrin asks them what their favorite flower is.
On opening night, the curtains close and all of the kids flood backstage to see Siffrin with a big bouquet. He hands everyone their favorite flower, saying, "You're supposed to receive flowers after an outstanding performance. And THAT, was an astounding performance!"
One kid goes, "Wait are these fake?"
Siffrin says, "Of course. I'm not trying to aggravate allergies or get anyone's pets sick. Plus! They'll never wilt!"
Another kid says, "These are like, super nice. Where did you buy these?"
Siffrin smiles. "Actually, my partner made them!"
Bonnie- who of course is in Siffrin's class/the play- balks and shouts, "Loop made these?!! Why didn't they say anything?!"
Siffrin panics, was it supposed to be a secret???
Once they all exit to meet Loop and Petra, Bonnie gives Loop a big hug. "Thank you for the flowers!! Everyone loved them!!!"
Loop "O-oh! I'm so glad!" Gives Siffrin a wtf look.
Siffrin "Was it supposed to be a secret?!"
Loop sighs. "I guess not... it's just that... between the shop, and helping make the costumes, and the flowers, these kids are going to assume I don't have a life. And I really don't want to be made fun of by teenagers..."
Bonnie laughs. "But you don't have a life??"
"They don't need to know that!!!"
ANYWAY clearly I rotate this in my head A LOT.

Welcome Back to the Collection of the Odd Cryptid's Writings
Hi! I'm Athens/Andy (they/them). I am a somewhat old yet somewhat new face on writeblr. I'm currently a second year student at a university in the deep south, studying history and anthropology in order to become a museum curator. Most of my free time is spent writing, which is the driving force behind this blog. Writing has become the love of my life over the past ten years.
AthensWrites has had two prior iterations. All I posted here in the previous iteration was privated, including Not Your Typical Fairytale. Don't fear, NYTF will make a glorious return ;)
With all that said, welcome back to the odd writings of Athens, and I hope you enjoy your stay. Below the cut, I've detailed some of my current projects, which range from Sci-Fi (my favorite) to thrillers to fantasy to realistic fiction. I've highlighted key content warnings and tags for each, just to keep you aware. If you'd like to hop on a tag list for any of these stories, please let me know! Some of them I post more frequently than others. I am also very tag list and tag game friendly so PLEASE tag me in stuff. If you need other people to tag in a writeblr tag game, look no further than this post!
The collection is constantly updating and evolving, so stay tuned!
Not Your Typical Fairytale (#nytf)
Although originally planned as a standalone novel, NYTF has now expanded into three separate books: Knight of Dawn, Queen of Noon, and King of Dusk. There's an additional collection of short stories/untold stories planned as well, tentatively titled Pawn of Midnight.
Content warning: gore, death, violence, graphic scientific experimentation, derealization, paranoia, drug use and abuse, alcohol use, child abuse (physical, verbal), relationship abuse (verbal, manipulation), sex (consensual)
Related tags: nytf, Piers Hall, Grady Yensey, Rene Dubois, ATLZoS
Knight of Dawn
Piers Hall is the newly crowned monarch of the post-apocalyptic State of Georgia, after their mother, Queen Adele, was declared unfit to rule. Despite meaning well, they find themself unprepared for the role, especially as political rivals, like North Carolina’s President René Dubois and Councilmember Shanna Miles, close in on their tail, seemingly threatening to topple their rule.
When various palace staff start to show where their real loyalties, it seems like Grady Yensey, Commander of the Royal Guard and their closest friend, is the only one they can trust. Piers and Grady must scramble to uncover the truth behind Queen Adele’s questionable associates, Piers’ missing past, and President Dubois’ shady activities
International Alliance of Superhumans (#iash)
Superhumans have existed as long as we have, normal people who suddenly develop seemingly magical powers overnight. That’s why the International Alliance of Superhumans was founded in 1945, to help control these superhumans to better humanity. Now, the Alliance's ideals and control is falling apart, as the Underground and the Union threaten its weakening rule over the superhuman community.
Fireball is the golden hero of the Alliance , the face of the organization, the beloved apprentice of the Chief Administrator after the death of the one and only GoldenSon. He’s brave, courageous, kind, and always up to take a photo with the kiddos, accompanied by his partner, NightSong. He’s taken down villains from Quantum Rift (the killer of GoldenSon) to Árbol Terror, and now has his eyes set on taking down Hueso Blanco and Morpheus Nox before they can tear a hole in reality.
Brigid Roberts is the face behind the mask of Fireball. They’re the only child of the now-deceased Nikki Roberts and find have found themself seeking revenge for Nikki’s death…while also trying to manage this superhero business and their senior year of high school. It doesn’t help that the administration of Wesmoreland keeps threatening to expel them for their aggressive behavior.
Hueso Blanco is the epitome of an ex-Alliance villain, a well beloved hero fallen from grace, after Árbol Terror and Quantum Rift convinced him to join the Underground. Now with both of his former allies dead, he leads the Underground, and with the help of Morpheus Nox (an up and coming villain with a terrifying similarity to Quantum Rift) he plans to tear a hole in our reality, ripping out world apart.
Martin Garcia-Flores is the sole caretaker of his younger brother, Elias, and would do anything to protect him. After the Alliance's violent threats, he left, in order to protect what was left. He lost friends and family and his love to the Alliance's corrupted side, and now works tirelessly to bring it to his knees…while also trying to work three separate jobs to keep himself and Elias afloat.
When fate brings Brigid and Martin face to face, maskless and vulnerable, the two come to understand they may not be as different as they’d both previously thought.

Space Clue/The Murder of Fredrik Lexand (#tmfl)
In 2183, humans abandoned earth as her ecosystems collapsed and became uninhabitable. Now, the remnants of humanity live in the Lexand Starfleet, a group of 16 name-brand ships, sailing towards deep space. In control of it all is Fredrik Lexand, the 17th great grandson of the original founder of Lexand StarFleet. From his living pod at the head of StarSeeker Alpha, he controls everything and anything that happens to humanity, from their food to their spouses to where the remnants of humanity will travel to. The weight of the world on one man’s shoulders (who are we kidding, of course he has lackeys who do all the menial work), worshipped as a god.
Until the morning he is found brutally dismembered, mangled parts of his body strewn all over his office. Humanity freezes, watching intently, as the Lexand Pod is locked down by Detective Scoud Tambry, swearing to uncover the killer, and avenge the Corporate god-king.
Content Warning: Violence, gore

I'm pretty good at tagging extensively, so if you need to find something or are looking for a specific wip in my blog, there's a high probability I've tagged it like crazy
Super-powered humans have always walked among us, from the beginning, and they will until the end. The year is 2041, and the International Academy of Superhumans controls the day to day life of these extraordinary beings. Those who stand with the Academy are your heroes, the ones who save the day. They protect normals from the villains, those who have turned their back on the organization and are hell-bent on destroying humanity as we know it. As tensions rise, and alliances form, the lines between hero and villain begin to blur.
Basic info
Setting: NYC, 2041, Alt. Earth
Genre: Action/Adventure, Futuristic but not really, some sci-fi, some fantasy
TW: Death, murder, gore/injury, fighting, fire, telepathy, homophobia/transphobia, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, bones, plague masks, more that I’m probably forgetting
Main Characters:
Topaz Roberts, aka FireBall [wip]
After the death of Goldenson, the Academy needed a new model hero, one to follow School Teacher’s every lesson and command. FireBall soon filled the void, stepping into the shoes of his father and taking his mantle, and the fire powers that came with it. He stood up against and eliminated the notorious Árbol Terror and Quantum Rift, and with NightSong at his side, still protects humanity from the wrath of Hueso Blanco and Morpheus Nox.
Topaz Roberts was never meant to be the hero. They weren’t supposed to find the mask of their late father laying on their desk, two days after his death. Fighting what seems like an endless war has made them bitter and cold, they’ll admit, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. If they can finish their senior year of high school at the elite Westmoreland Boarding School, they can escape the grasp of their controlling grandfather. However, as they get assigned a job they refuse to complete, an opportunity pops up, an enticing offer from the very man they’re trying to kill.
Martin García-Flores aka Hueso Blanco
Hueso Blanco was expelled years ago, for spreading propoganda against the Academy. He then joined forces with his ex-partner Árbol Terror (formerly ÁrbolTierra) and the murderous Quantum Rift to tear open a black hole in the space-time continuum, and wreak havoc on the planet. After the death of both Árbol Terror and Quantum Rift, Hueso Blanco joined forces with the new owner of Quantum Rift’s mantle, a young villain by the name of Morpheus Nox. He’s proven to be stronger than the Academy ever anticipated, with Hueso Blanco at his side. Currently, FireBall and NightSong are working on tracking down and putting an end to the duo’s wrath.
Martin García-Flores is a workaholic, to say the least. When his parents were murdered by Academy enforcers (members of the Academy without powers), Martin dropped out of high school to take care of his younger brother, Elias. He’s done all he can to protect and cushion Elias from the Academy, but they don’t seem to understand that Elias is a citizen in this fight, having had his mind erased of Martin’s role by the ex-villain Mind Killer. As all seems hopeless, and the Academy closes in, Martin makes a last-chance offer to the very hero trying to kill him
Tag List: reblog/comment and tell me you would like to be added!
This is an older WIP, so the art is a lil janky, the punctuation is Wrong, Loop has an older cloak design, and it still has Isafrin dating (taking that out was a fairly recent decision.)
There's a decent chunk written for this. It's meant to take place in It's All Still Here after everyone in the party gets a Special Loop Nickname.
Flare = Bonnie
Dee = Odile
Mira and Isa are omitted for spoilers.
Under the cut:
Craft sickness means that Stardust always wakes up an hour or two later than you. Which gives you an hour or two to talk yourself out of asking them what you want to ask.
You’re nearly lost your nerve by the time he starts to stir. You swallow, then mutter, “Stardust…”
“Mmmm yeah?” He still hasn’t opened his eyes.
You can do this! Just spit it out! “Can I-” Say it!! “Can I be Siffrin today?”
“You can be Siffrin any day.” He murmurs.
You‘re not sure what that means???
His eyes flutter open, “Is everything okay?”
Your favorite question!! “I’m tired. I just want to be quiet without it being a whole thing.” And it would be nice to hear everyone call you Siffrin again…
He hums, “So like you’d wear my cloak and go by Siffrin?”
“…Yes.”
“Wouldn’t that draw attention anyway?”
“Not if you’re Loop.”
That seems to wake him up, “O-oh! Yeah?”
Normally you’d make some sort of face to placate him, but you’re not bothering with facial expressions today, “You’ll be so big and boisterous that everyone’s eyes will be on you.”
He takes a second to think, “I guess so… But I’m worried that my impression of you might hurt your feelings?”
“I’m worried that your worry implies that you have a poor opinion of me”
He frowns, “It’s more like I have a poor opinion of my acting skills.”
“I’m sure you’ll do fine. Besides, I know you have practice,” You wink, and he glares, “C’mon, say the line.”
He takes a moment to get into character, then puts on the most over the top smile, “Heya, Stardust! How can I help you on this wonderful new Loop?”
Eerie! “That was pitch perfect! I knew you’d be a natural.”
He snorts, “I was made for the role.”
Ha! Ugh. “...Are you sure this is okay?”
He smiles softly, but stays in character, “Of course, Stardust! I’m actually kind of excited about it!” The act drops for a second, “You want my eyepatch?”
Oh yeah… “I can take the spare.”
“Okay, I’ll leave mine here,” He goes to take it off.
“You don’t have to, Star– Light. I know you don’t like going without it.” It’s a sweet gesture, though.
He smiles, “I was thinking I’d just-” He takes the hair around his face and tries his best to tame it, swooping it down so it covers his eyepatch, “Like that!”
Your star blooms with warmth, “You can still do that with an eyepatch.”
“Oh yeah, I guess I can,” He drops his hair, it’s an absolute mess, “Can you help me with my hair?”
A smile crosses your face unbidden, “Any time, Starlight.”
—---
You exit the tent with no small amount of trepidation. Will everyone think this is weird? There’s no way they’ll go along with it.
Everyone is already building a fire and helping Flare prepare breakfast. They all look up to see the two of you wearing each other's cloaks; you in an eyepatch and Stardust with their hair clipped to swoop over his left eye.
Stardust immediately perks up, “Good morning!!” Their face, their voice, even their body language is a perfect copy of you. You’re impressed, “I’m sure you’re probably wondering what’s happened to our wardrobes today!”
The Fighter cocks his head, “Kinda, yeah.”
Stardust raises a thoughtful finger to his face, “Today we’ll be switching roles! I’ll be going by Loop,” He gestures to you, “And they’ll be going by Siffrin!” They partially cover their mouth with their hand, “But we won’t be swapping pronouns, of course! Teehee~”
Their speech is followed by silence. You keep your eyes on the ground and burrow deeper into your collar. Stardust tucks his face away like this all the time. You’re still in character.
You hear [Mira's nickname] say, “Okay, Loop! Would you mind going with Isa to collect firewood?”
“Of course! After you, [Isa's nickname]~”
Oh yeah… You’ll have to use their actual names. Gross.
“Frin! Come help me cut vegetables!”
It takes you a moment to remember to respond to that name. You silently trudge over to Flare where them and Dee are preparing food. Looks like it’s huevos rancheros today.
As you and Dee are chopping veggies, she turns to you with a look that fills you with dread. You sense a question coming, one that you don’t feel like answering.
She opens her mouth to speak, then pauses, seeming to think better of it. Instead she gives you a fond smile, “Could you hand me that onion, Siffrin?”
Your arms feel a little shaky, “Sure thing.”
—--
SIFFRIN LOOP’S POV
You and Isa hike through the forest in search of dry wood. Well, he hikes and you prance. Wheeee!
“H-Hey, um, Loop?” He looks so nervous.
“Yes, [Isa's nickname]?”
“Does… This mean I can’t hold your hand today?”
…Oh, “I… Guess not?” Your face falls a little, “Since we’re… Not dating.”
“Right! Yeah.”
Your whole face falls. This part is considerably less fun, “But maybe, um. In private, we could?”
Isa smirks, “I’d rather not cheat on my boyfriend.”
You pout, “Even with your boyfriend’s clone?”
“Especially with my boyfriend’s clone!” His eyes dart away, “In fact, you’ve been pretty open about not being attracted to me.”
You drop the act “Isa? Is this… Weird for you? I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”
“I-” He grips his bicep, “I don’t think this is about how I feel? I mean, you’re doing this for Sif, right?”
He’s so perceptive. You smile brightly, “I have no idea what you’re talking about!” You take a breath and get back into character, “I’m just the oh so helpful Loop! Teehee~”
He chuckles, “You’re really nailing that impression!”
IASH is one of my favorite multichapter fics in the entire fandom (and i love how well you wrote about siffrin's aceness) and your human loop design is the most unique and interesting and you have a wonderful amazing artstyle (the expressiveness and how well u do at anatomy is making me go insane), i love your sense of humor and you have a very sweet voice okay thank you *turns around and falls over
H-how... did you know all the exact things to say? AAAA. Like everything I'm proud of and also something I'm super self conscious about (voice)???
Thank you a thousand times thank you like I cannot put into words.
I also love my fic and my Loop design and I've spent years honing my comedy so wow I love when people notice and point it out. And this is the first compliment on my voice that wasn't preceded by me complaining about it first, so I can actually believe that you're telling the truth 😂
If the anatomy is in reference to my last two drawings I really can't take credit bc one was traced and the other was directly from reference 🥲 But the expressiveness? I'll take it! ahahaha.
Thank you thank you thank you I'm framing this on my wall and I wish you all the best 🥰💖

I am here, I exist, the blog is made, barebones as it may be, but I shall uphold my promise to talk to you about the kittens! (I have never really used tumblr before this day, so... I hope this is the right inbox? Let's call my research a stunning effort of "good enough" and continue from there.)
So! I had some thoughts after the most recent It's All Still Here chapter, regarding Loop's star. And I'm sure you're ruminating on it already, not sure yet if you want Siffrin to be able to touch it or not, but hear me out:
It would be really gay if he could. So I shall make my case for why Siffrin being able to touch Loop's star is not only correct, but canon consistent /lh
We already know it functions as a basically infinite craft generator (what does this mean for Loop's body? Are they functionally immortal, so long as their heart stays intact? Let's not think about that). So what if the reason Lunette got burned is not from heat, but a kind of... craft abrasion? She, like every person in ISaT, has craft of her own, meaning it might interfere with Loop's. So it's like she's sticking her finger in a stream, disrupting the flow.
Craft is formed through body, mind and soul, lying dormant as pure creative energy to be given form, so obviously different people's craft would more or less interfere with one another, like blood types, or organ transplants. But Siffrin is made of the same stuff. So what if instead of them disrupting Loop, it's like a merger, like recognising like, craft recognising craft, passing right through and making Siffrin part of the cycle because he's just more of the same as Loop, in the most fundamental, broken-down-to-the-level-of-destiny-and-energy way.
Now consider as well that Siffrin has already graced us with sudden demisexual yuri threesome dreams, which is very embarrassing for him and something I personally would just never let happen to me. So wouldn't it be really cute and gay if Siffrin, touching Loop's heart, could provide the physical flesh-and-bone filter that would be required to not burn Lunette, but instead let her experience Loop's essence through the safe barrier of human skin, allowing the two to touch?
And maybe he doesn't like it. Maybe he hates having to share Loop, a tiny bit. But it also allows him to keep that part of them for himself, to do something nobody else is able to do for them. Maybe it allows him to experience through Loop how Lunette feels about them, and greedily drink up that experience as though he has any right to let it fill him, because it's not for him, but it's for Loop, and isn't Loop his, in a way, shouldn't they be loved and shouldn't he get to feel and know exactly how loved they are? (I am starting to wax poetic from a character-adjacent POV, this is how you know you're striking gold, or there's a gas leak, time will tell)
But feeling how Lunette loves Loop might also endear her to Siffrin, and I need the two to be friends and get along. Consider this: I love them both and they should hug.
At the same time, Loop would get to share how they feel for Lunette; all the joy of getting to gush about their beautiful girlfriend without the icky embarrassment of actually having to say it out loud. Because, if they don't say it, then it's not real, right? The sharing, that is. They get to keep it in their chest, in their heart, a secret all their own; is it their fault that Siffrin can pluck it from their chest and hold it in his palms like a treasure?
Being so connected might give away Loop's feeling for their time clone... or it might be so overwhelming and otherworldly that those thoughts don't translate over the "close, close, here with me, nerves firing, synapses burning, a shape so familiar it's like stepping out of your grave and back into the body you left behind" feeling of it all.
Anyway, that is my thoughts, I was going to follow this up with a cute little doodle of Siffrin's 3am thoughts, but time is money and I am broke, so I'll have to do this some other time.
Thank you for the brainrot sifloop, I am abnormal about them! <3
GIRL I AM SCREAMING
Answer under the cut!
I really should have anticipated the phenomenon of people writing my AU better than me 😂🥰
God. Just sitting in that. Sitting in that friggin adorable romantic poetic GAY GAY HOMO GAY hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Okay, now I'll step away from the gay. The star! My thoughts are that stars are just like, literally wish craft. Based on the Universe sending a lil one down as like, the physical embodiment of a wish? And I'm combining that with literal star mechanics... Which I know nothing about. They give off lots of burning energy?
So I'm like, this is a tiny magic sun. And it's doing its tiny job of-- Okay you know Steven Universe how they're like, light being projected from their gems? With Loop, they're maybe 25% original Siffrin stuff and 75% craft. And not like body parts as much as... Idk, carbon? Just like base component Siffrin particles, that the star is mixing into a Loop soup to construct their form. askfjsdlgkjdlkj ITS ALL BULLSHIT IT MAKES NO SENSE but I feel it in my brain.
But this lil sun is like, I can protect everything around me from burning tf up as long as no one breaks the barrier I've created. Once that's passed I CANNOT CONCENTRATE BC SOMETHING IS TOUCHING ME CUT IT OUT *Loop's particles break down like fuckin Mike TV*
But that's just! Living things! Because of that natural craft energy! So if there's a nonliving barrier, like a lil bralette, you could hypothetically give it a lil kissy. Mwah! And who's to say if a lil craft leaks through? Who's to say that doesn't open a weaker channel between Loop and the other person? I have no plans atm. I'm open to head canons about what that connection is like. What exactly gets shared. I want the most romantic thing that doesn't solve any miscommunication between the two because that is where the fun lives. I'm still ruminating on it.
On the yaouri threesome, I think I wrote that wrong lol. The idea was that Siffin was watching them from the outside. Like, you're not allowed to touch Loop, they belong to Lunette. But oh boy is Loop going to toy with you regardless! But it would make absolute sense that Siffrin would idly fantasize about the two of them together and be like, second hand attracted to Lunette. She makes Loop happy and feel good, what's not to like? (THEIR MINE HANDS OFF) What's not to like????!!!!
(I think maybe the thread was lost after I wrote Isa out of the dream? [bc I read the art book and was like oooooh angst] Originally he had his hands on Siffrin in a mirror position to Loop and Lunette. Also I hadn't written the kissing practice scene so sifloop was straight up not touching. Just yearning.)
"a shape so familiar it's like stepping out of your grave and back into the body you left behind" is the most powerful thing ever written and it decimated my heart.
How does Loop avoid burning their clothes with their chest star?
If Loop takes a bath, does the water get heated by the star?
"Best quality of life" does entail some kind of magical barrier that would allow Loop to wear clothes. But since the barrier is made of magic, then people's natural craft allows them to pass through it. I cannot think of a metaphor. It's like, they're both made of the same stuff so the barrier is like, oh you must be part of the barrier, come on through! Non magical items have no effect.
If they wore their cloak without a shirt underneath, the stitching might fuck with it a little.
And the star is probably a little warmer than Loop themself, so maybe it'd warm up colder water.
