any interesting dynamics between teachers at westwood? romance, family, best friends?
Oh, definitely! The Westwood faculty are honestly so messy and I love it. Here are some of my favourite dynamics among them:
Damascus Lauden & Ramses Abdel are immortal lovers, and have been since Greece conquered Egypt
David Rothchild & Lyall Semper are best friends, and Alpha and Beta of the Westwood Pack
Lyall & Ivy Semper are half-siblings. He is incredibly protective of her
Septima Villiers & Mortdecai Mortem... hate eachother but have undeniable and extremely obvious sexual tension. Much like how Thomasin and Eliseo are
Carmina Cane & Caractacus Thorn are both Westwood alumni, and although they were academic rivals during their time there as students, they are now each other's most trusted confidants and good friends
Caractacus Thorn & Thaddeus Thorn — Caractacus is Thaddeus' father, and although he is quite hard on him, there is no doubt he loves his son
Nelaemera Fawn & Jordan Falconer. Nelaemera is a higher class Sidhe, and thus views Jordan as inferior to her, not only by status, but also by the removal of his wings. In spite of this, he still harbours an unrequited crush towards her. He's starting to think that his feelings might not he reciprocated, though
Jordan Falconer & Ichabod Lister are immortal Fae besties! (Ichabod is an Elf)
Avice Graeme & Mabel Flemming were lovers once, long ago. Mabel even Warlocked herself when Avice refused to make a Vampire of her. They were in love for a time, but Mabel's ambitions drew her elsewhere, and Avice's boredom-leaning disposition returned with a vengeance. They parted amicably, and reunited at Westwood, where they remain good friends
Maudelin Clemonte & Ephraim Windsor are happily married
Belladonna Aimes & Magnolia Bradley have a mutual dislike of one another
Cloven Latimer (the school librarian) is the aunt of Faustine Talbot. Faustine has since been disowned by the family following her pact to the demon, Armaros
Technically not between two faculty members, but involving a faculty member, and thus deserving of an honourable mention:
Jordan Falconer & Solstice Dullahan. Solstice is the entire reason Jordan lost his wings. They had been childhood friends in the Seelie Court, him being of low-born status, Solstice being of royalty. When Solstice is engaged to the Unseelie prince as a way of diplomatically bridging the two families, Jordan tries to help her escape. They are caught and he lies and confesses to kidnapping her to save her honour and reputation. His wings are removed, and he is banished from the Seelie Court. He still tries to be friendly with Solstice, but it has gotten increasingly difficult
Roman Marrow & Eliseo Santos have a mentor-student relationship that borders a bit on father-son. Roman has stuck his neck out for Eliseo countless times. Surprisingly enough, Eliseo is actually older than Roman, something which he loves to remind him of
