Summary: Mushy May Day 11
Dew has just come out of his elemental transition, he doesn’t feel worthy of anyone anymore, Aether doesn’t fail to prove him wrong.

@forlorn-crows
Dew was in the ghouls’ wing of the ministry, sitting alone on an armchair of the common room. The new summons for the fourth era of the ghost project were sitting in the same room, they were his pack now, he supposed, even if he hadn’t even gotten to know them yet because of his elemental transition. He still had Aether and Mountain, he supposed, that was nice.
Aether had spent all of Dew’s recovery with him, using his quintessence to keep him stable during the whole aftermath, but once Dew had been able to move for himself again, he hadn’t let Aether stay, he couldn’t handle having him in the same room when Dew couldn’t even look at himself in the mirror from disgust. He hated the changes that fire had brought to him, being stripped of the water that had accompanied him his whole life was like taking away his very essence, it felt wrong.
And now, here he was, out of his bedroom for the first time in weeks and sitting among the other ghouls, who looked at him weird, because they hadn’t even met him yet. Then, he heard footsteps from the door, he didn’t need to look to the side to know that it was Aether that was walking in, he dreaded his very existence at that moment. Aether let out a quiet gasp when he saw the now fire ghoul sitting there and walked up to him “Dew?” He asked quietly as he placed a gentle hand on Dew’s shoulder.
Dew looked up at Aether with an expression that could only be described as conflicted. Dew loved the quint, but didn’t want him to see him like this. But, even if Dew had thought about leaving the room, it was too late. Aether was already on his knees in front of him and hugging him, “I missed you, drop…”
Dew had to hold back his tears - that now burnt him - as he gave in and wrapped his arms around Aether too. A few minutes later, they found themselves with Dew sitting on Aether’s lap as he ran his fingers through the shorter’s hair.
“You’re beautiful,” whispered Aether, “just like before.” Dew had a hard time believing that, but after about ten times of hearing some variation of those words, he started believing it.

Cirrus gets a letter from Cumulus while on tour.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
Cirrus was in her bunk, resting as she wondered if she should call Cumulus - even if it was currently nighttime for the other ghoulette and she knew that there was no way that her mate would be awake - when Perpetua walked up to her, “There’s mail for you.” Said the human as he left a letter on her bunk and walked away.
Cirrus immediately cheered up as she picked up the carefully sealed letter, it had a wax seal with the air symbol on it and a piece of lavented attached to it. She immediately knew that it was from her lovely mate. She opened the letter, careful to not break the paper and seal too much.
“Hello my cloud,
It’s been busy here in the ministry these weeks you’ve been away, yet I still think about you every minute of my days and nights. I miss you like never before, but I don’t wish to pull you away from the tour. I know that you enjoy it, and that’s more than enough for me. I hope the new Papa is treating you well.
I can’t wait to see you again, I’m planning to take you out to the lake once you get back, we can stargaze together surrounded by the flowers and catch up. I hope you’re having fun out there.
Forever yours,
Cumulus <3”
Cirrus couldn’t wait for that to happen, she walked to the front of the bus and found Perpetua. “Hey, papa? Do you mind if I send a letter back to the ministry?” She asked. “No, you can go ahead and write it, I’ll make sure it gets there.”
Cirrus smiled, found a pen and some paper around the bus and got to writing.

Rain and Mountain have a lazy day in their room, that’s about it.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
Rain’s eyes slowly opened and he took everything in, the feeling of Mountain’s arms wrapped around him in a loose, yet loving embrace, the soft light of the sun filtering through the curtains, and the - not as good - tiredness from the previous day that still haunted him.
Rain took in the steady rise and fall of Mountain’s chest against his back, he always found it to be a grounding feeling, knowing that his mate was right there with him.
Then, he felt Mountain begin to wake up. Like many other mornings, the taller ghoul first took in Rain’s scent, then held onto him tighter. Rain smiled and looked up at him. “Morning, lilypad”
Mountain replied with a quiet nose, which made Rain chuckle. “Are you tired from yesterday too?” Ask Rain, earning a small nod from the taller ghoul. “Can we stay here today?” Mountain finally spoke.
“Yeah,” said rain as he turned around in the taller’s arms and nuzzled into the side of his neck. He knew they wouldn’t be moving from the bed in at least a few hours.
Musy May Day 8: Subtle Affection

Summary: Mushy May Day 8: Subtle affection
Back in era 3, when Sister Imperator was trying to tear Terzo and Omega apart.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
Terzo was sitting in his office, waiting for Sister Imperator to finally finish talking to him about how he should be more professional on stage and with his ghouls. Those whom Sister referred to as “lowly creatures who are expendable,” unimportant even.
Terzo hated her view of his ghouls, his companions, and how she only let him around them when there was work to do. He wanted to spend more time with them, they were his friends, well, Omega was a bit more than that, but still, he wanted to be able to not have to sneak around to see them all.
Sister seemed to finally get sick of telling him off for the same thing for what would be now the fifth time that week, and left Terzo’s office. Then, Omega walked in from behind a fake door that was in the room. Terzo had found it and made himself a room for him and Omega in there.
“She’s finally gone, amore…” Said Terzo as Omega walked up to where he was and sat on the chair at the opposite end of the table with him, they always did this so that they could pretend to be talking about the band if someone came in.
Omega reached out through the table and took Terzo’s hand in his. “One day.” He said. That sentence Terzo both longed for and hated to hear, “one day,” he replied. One day Terzo would retire, they would be able to leave the ministry and live together somewhere else, spend the rest of their days together, and not worry about Sister’s expectations or sneaking around.
That afternoon, while they walked to practice, their pinkies were intertwined, it was subtle, no one ever thought to look at their hands while passing them through the hallways, but it was their thing, their small rebellion against Sister.
During practice they always stuck together, never too far away from each other, and the other ghouls didn’t mind, knowing that it was one of the few moments where they could actually be together.
And like that, that night, they fell asleep in each other’s arms, hidden away in their secret room, hoping that one day, they would actually have this without fear.

Summary: Mushy May Day 7
Dewdrop breaks his foot, Phantom is worried and visits him, Aether and Copia are there through video call.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
Dewdrop was bored out of his mind, he had already looked at everything around him in that dang hospital bed while he waited for Perpetua to pick him back up. He had even come up with names for the shades of the colours on the walls and random abstract paintings around him. He had stared at the chart with bones on the wall for long enough, that if they gave him an exam on them, he was confident he would land an excellent on it.
Then, a nurse knocked on the door, “you seem to have a visitor… he has… hors, though?”. “Let them in.” Said Dewdrop, knowing it must be one of the ghouls, too worried to realise that they hadn’t glamoured their horns on their way here.
When the nurse said that, she looked back at the person next to her, who was staring at her expectantly, “you said you’re his… partner?”. “Yes,” said Phantom, “I am.”. The nurse sighed, clearly tired from her shift and done with seeing odd shit. She just signalled to the door and walked away.
Phantom immediately walked in and dragged a chair to sit next to Dew. “How are you? What happened?”. Seeing the worry in the other ghoul’s eyes, softened Dew’s expression a bit, “I fractured my foot, bat, it’s nothing I won’t get through don’t worry.” Now more than ever, Phantom wished that his quintessence wasn’t only the vision sight type, and was the healing one.
Dew ran his fingers through the quint’s hair, knowing fully what was going through their head. “Don’t blame yourself for not being able to heal my leg, bat, it’s okay.” Phantom nodded and leaned into Dew’s touch, “Aether called, turns out Perpetua tried to call Copia about what happened, but he didn’t want to pick up the call, so Aeth did. He wants to know if you’re okay.”
Dew nodded and reached for his phone, we went into his contact list and clicked on Aether’s contact, then videocalled him, once he picked up, Dew could hear a faint “Sapevo che non potevo fidarmi di lui” in the background, knowing it was Copia grumbling about something, he decided to just focus on Aether for now, “Hi Aeth.” He greeted, earning a similar response, “Perp- your new boss called, how is your foot doing?”
“Well, it’s doing better… At least now I know what’s up with it. I have to wear this big ass boot though.” Dew was in pain, but tried to mask it, thankful that it was currently nighttime in the ministry and Aether wasn’t paying as much attention as he normally would. Aether sighed when he heard that, but then Copia came into view, “how are you doing, amore?” He asked. “I’m fine, C, don’t worry.” Dew tried to reassure.
After a few minutes of being on call, Dew turned to look at Phantom after hanging up. The younger ghoul asked, “Now, without lying, how are you feeling. I can tell you’re in pain, Dew.”
Dew sighed, he knew he couldn’t lie to Phantom, so he settled for grabbing his hand, “Well, I’m better now that you’re here.”

Aurora gets back from the tour, and just as they agreed, Aurora tells Sunshine everything that happened.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
The ghouls had finally gotten back, most of them were exhausted from the endless months on the road, but Aurora was excited to get back, knowing that, just like she and Sunshine had agreed on, she would tell her all about what had happened during the tour, and Sunshine would tell her everything that had happened in the Ministry while they were away.
After getting everything unloaded from the tour bus and her bags in her room, Aurora headed to Sunshine’s room, and knocked.
Sunshine got excited when hearing that noise, she knew what it meant, and she couldn’t wait to hear all the drama. She had gotten some candy and chips ready in separate bowls on the bed and knew that Aurora had brought nail polish to be busy while they talked.
Sunshine opened the door and hugged the ghoulette behind it, “Rory! You have to tell me everything that went down!”.
Aurora walked into the room and settled onto the bed, already grabbing one of the ham-flavoured chips from its bowl, her favourite kind. She ate it and laid out the different nail polishes she had brought with her. “So, sit down, Sunny, because I wrote down everything that happened.”
Sunshine sat with her and gave her a pumpkin orange nail polish for her to apply on her nails. “Well, there wasn’t as much drama around here, so I guess I’ll start, save best for last, you know?”
Aurora smiled and started prepping Sunshine’s nails while she listened to what she was telling her. “So, Aether finally found Copia’s secret comic collection. We didn’t know he liked those, the poor man was so embarrassed.” That earned a giggle from Aurora, who had to stop what she was doing to not ruin Sunshine’s nails, then she replied, “I bet, Aether mustn’t have known if he should laugh or comfort him.” “He chose the second one,” said Sunshine.
And, like that, they spent the rest of the night.

Summary: Mushy May Day 5
Dewdrop ralises when he starts wearing the new papa’s uniform and sees Aether in the era 5 one, that only he and Mountain remain active from when he was summoned. He goes to Mountain, and they remember all they’ve been through.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
After putting on his new uniform for the first time, Dewdrop walked out of his room, and saw Aether, still in the Impera one, since he hadn’t made it to the new era. It suddenly hit Dewdrop, he and Mountain were the only ones remaining from when he was summoned.
He hesitated once he reached the taller ghoul’s door, but his had knocked on it without him even realising it. Once Mountain opened it, he let Dewdrop in without further questioning. “Hi, firefly.” He said quietly.
Dewdrop looked up at him and smiled softly, “Hey, big guy… You do realise we’re the only ones left from Terzo’s era, don’t you?” He asked.
Mountain nodded. They could both remember, all those years ago, when Dew was still a water ghoul, both fleshly summoned ghouls, they clung to each other, didn’t let go until Omega walked up to them with Terzo and used his quintessence to heal the wounds that the pits had caused them. And even then, they stayed close together, connected instantly, even if they rarely showed it.
During those first months, they shared a room, slept together as a form of familiarity from their previous home. They rarely went further than that, but when they did, it was gentle, only as a way to feel closer to each other.
When Copia became cardinal, they finally managed to be able to sleep in their respective rooms. But they still ended up together some nights. During said tour, they shared bunks when going through cold places and sometimes just out of habit.
When Copia became papa, after Aether left them in the middle of the tour, Dewdrop could only go to Mountain for comfort, feeling like only him could make him feel at home, even if just for a few minutes.
And now, here they were, back in each other’s arms again.

Summary: Mushy May Day 4
Dewdrop gets back from tour and Aether takes care of his hair for him.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
It had been six months already, six months in which Dewdrop didn’t have any of his hair-care products with him, and so, when the end of the tour neared, his hair had gone from soft and well-cared to unhealthy.
The night when he got back to the ministry, after all the reunions and having dinner he went back to his and Aether’s shared room and settled down on their nest, Aether sitting behind him right after. Soon, the two men were engaging in their small nightly ritual.
Aether gently threaded his fingers through Dew’s hair as he brushed it carefully. Dew could only lean against Aether and breathe softly as he could finally relish in the feeling again. After getting all the knots and tangles out, Aether started giving Dew a soft scalp massage.
Aether thought about how much he had missed this, having Dewdrop leaning against him, letting all the tension and stress out as Aether carefully took care of his hair for him. Aether couldn’t think of something he looked forward more to than that.
Aether was also thinking about just how damaged Dew’s hair had gotten in those past months. The crappy hotel shampoos and cheap soaps having only done bad to it. He couldn’t wait to get it back to its usual soft and healthy state that he loved so much. The damage felt wrong against his fingers, but that only pushed him to work with it more.
Dewdrop leaned further against Aether, he had missed the feeling of the taller ghoul’s fingers against his scalp, how they would rub small circles against it and get him all calm and sleepy.
A few minutes later, when Aether didn’t have any more product to apply to Dew’s hair, Dewdrop finally allowed himself to fall asleep, right against the taller’s chest, while Aether still threaded his fingers through his hair, only for the sake of it.

Summary: Mushy May Day 3
After a long and complicated night, Mountain and Rain are finally able to make their nest bigger, for a new being to sleep in it with them, Drizzle, their son.
Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
Rain was exhausted, completely exhausted as he sat on the rocking chair in the corner of his room. He had just spent the whole night doing what was probably the most painful and tiring thing he had ever done, yet it was also the most rewarding, because now he got to hold his little child, his pride and joy, Drizzle, a small, day-old water ghoul. All of this while Mountain undid their previous nest and brought in a bigger mattress.
Rain was smiling as he wiped the dry tear steaks that had dried out on his face. Peace, finally, after having problem after problem with the pregnancy, after having to deal with Sister, who was trying to get them to give the kit to the clergy. Peace finally reached them. Sister’s death had been chaotic for most of the ministry, but for Rain and Mountain it had only meant that their main problem was finally over.
Mountain finally finished struggling with the mattress and putting it in place, he then turned around and walked over to the rocking chair, getting on his knees to kiss Drizzle’s little head, “he’s finally here…” He whispered as he looked up at Rain. The water ghoul nodded as he smiled at Mountain, “should we start with our nest?”
To that, Mountain nodded, “how about I hold our little Drizzle for a bit while you pick out the blankets and stuff?”. Rain gave Mountain their son, and carefully got up with his mate’s support. He moved to the pile of blankets and other fabrics that they had put there the previous morning for this exact moment.
Rain started sorting through them, he kept a few blankets and his plushies from their previous nest, but picked up some shirts and blankets from the other members of their pack, he loved feeling close to them too. Mountain looked at Rain fondly, seeing how his partner picked up things from the others warmed his heart a little bit.
When Rain had everything picked out, Mountain moved to him, and helped him start to build their nest, first the blankets, forming a bowl-like shape on the mattress with them, then, Mountain let Rain arrange the other fabrics to his liking, and put some other blankets of his own.
Rain took a deep breath as he looked at the new nest, it turned out nearly perfect, there was only one thing missing. When Mountain changed Drizzle into a different onesie, Rain grabbed the old one, and put it in the nest too, then, it was finally perfect.
Mountain turned around with the, now changed, Drizzle and got in the nest. And like that, the small family fell asleep, holding on to their small son.

As the sun started filtering through the curtains, Phantom looked down and saw Aurora in their arms. She was sleeping so comfortably, the brightness of the scars that were scattered around her cheeks increasing and decreasing in intensity, to phantom, that was mesmerising.
A few minutes later, Aurora also woke up, looking up at him, “morning…” She murmured, her voice quiet and sleepy. Phantom returned the greeting and held her closer.
Phantom couldn’t believe how lucky they had gotten when being summoned topside, Earth had many challenges and foreign things, but they now had a pack that loved them just the way they were.
Aurora spoke up again, now a bit more awake. “We should start getting up, we have practice at ten.”
And with that, both ghouls were lazily going around the room, getting dressed in their uniforms and ready for the day.
Aurora moved to her vanity and Phantom waited behind her, watching as she brushed her hair, getting the multi coloured strands that resembled a galaxy in a ponytail and out of her face. Phantom stared at her reflection as she cleansed her face and put on some gloss and a bit of mascara. They then placed a small kiss on the top of her head, and both ghouls put on their masks.
Soon, they were both out of the room, ready to start their day.
Hey, so uh...

The ghouls just got back from re-imperatour, and get their well-deserved rest in the form of a very cuddly sleep-over.

Fic below the cut or in ao3
@forlorn-crows
The re-imperatour had just come to an end, all the ghouls were excited to finally go back to their usual routines and be able to lay around all day, but most of all, they were excited to see Aether again.
Dew was the first to get out of the bus, not being able to wait even a second more to see Aether again. He looked around, he was excited, and in a weirdly good mood. Dew didn’t even bother to grab his bags, or even his phone, he just ran to the entrance of the ministry, where Aether was standing, yelling his name as he jumped into his arms.
Aether stumbled back from the impact, but held onto Dew and hugged him back once the two regained their balance. Swiss chuckled as he carried both his and Dew’s bags ang joined into the hug.
“Welcome home, you two.” Laughed Aether as he relished into the feeling of being hugged by the two ghouls once again.
Meanwhile, while Cumulus and Cirrus picked up their bags, Sunshine ran up to them and hugged Cumulus from behind, “Lus! Cici!” She exclaimed with excitement as she finally got to see them again.
Cumulus turned around and returned the hug, “Hi, love!”
After a while, the ghouls had all slowly gone into the common room, slowly gathering in the various sofas and seats of the room, cuddling each other and getting comfortable in the familiar space.
Rain and Mountain were sitting together on one of the seats, Rain’s head leaning against the taller’s chest as they finally got their well-deserved rest. Mountain was running his fingers through Rain’s hair, both had their eyes closed as they finally got more than a few minutes together.
Aether and Phantom took the opportunity to finally catch up while they rested, Dew and Swiss were right next to them, silently listening to the conversation.
After a few minutes, Aurora spoke up. “Guys, how about we sleep over here together?” All the other ghouls looked around, some of them nodding, others making sounds of agreement.
“I’ll go grab blankets and pillows for all of us!” She announced excitedly as she got up from her place on the couch next to the other ghoulettes, then Cumulus also got uo, “I’ll help you, Rory.”
A few minutes later, the two women came back with a shit ton of fluffy blankets and pillows.
Rain then spoke up, “How about we make a huge nest for all of us, it will be more comfortable.” All the ghouls nodded at the prospect of having a cuddle pile in a giant nest.
Soon, all the ghouls got to arranging said nest, even throwing in some extra blankets from the surrounding area.
And with that, all the ghouls started cuddling each other right on the floor of their living room.
Copia was… Confused to say the least, he had gone to look for Rain to ask a favour of him, but was surprised to not see the ghoul in his room, or any other ghoul in their rooms. That’s when he saw it, light coming from the common room.
He walked up to it and carefully opened the door to reveal all his beloved ghouls cuddling together in a giant nest in the middle of the room.
Cirrus was the first to notice him, having the best hearing out of all of them. Then, all the other ghouls turned to face him as well.
Mountain smiled softly at their Papa, soon to be Imperator because of his mother’s death, and waved him over.
Copia knew he shouldn’t go, had heard how the other higher ups of the Clergy had told him that the ghouls were not his responsibility anymore and he didn’t have to get mixed up with them. But, after all they had gone through together, he knew, he couldn’t turn them down.
Time Blindness
Summary: The aftermath of Dew's elemental transition ft. Aether
Word count: 280 (short, I know)
Fic type: Angst with a tiny bit of comfort
Click here for the ao3 version
Aether was concerned beyond relief. He had been holding onto Dew for satan-knows-how-long, and he couldn’t let go of him. Not even Omega had been able to do so. Dew had been completely unmoving ever since the clergy had performed the elemental transition on him.
Aether’s heart broke every minute that ticked by. He was in his own room, Dew’s getting emptied by some of the other ghouls since no one had hope of the ghoul in his arms recovering. But Aether couldn’t give up, still using his quintessence to keep Dew breathing, not being able even to let go of him for more than two minutes, afraid that even the shortest period of time away from each other would cause Dew to slip away from him.
Then, after weeks, maybe a month, of living like that, Aether felt Dew twitch, the smaller’s arm moved slightly. Aether couldn’t make out if it was actually true or just his mind trying to get him to believe that Dew wouldn’t die. He took Dew’s hand, almost in disbelief, and shed a small tear when he felt a small squeeze on it.
Aether held onto Dew tighter, resting his head on the shorter’s as he tucked Dew’s head into his chest, pushing a bit more of quintessence into him.
Then, it finally happened, Dew opened his eyes, looked up at Aether, who looked down at him after feeling the movement.
Both were silent, but smiled at the realisation that it was finally over, the constant agony and uncertainty had come to an end, and peace was ready to enter their lives again. They could only hold each other at the thought of that.
