There's a knock on the door, the wizard stands, one hand on his wife's arm the other slightly behind him, reaching for a vial half full of a blue tinted liquid. When he got to the door, his heart stopped.
The Demon.
He hadn't thought. It had been so long, since he'd made the decision to bargain with one of hell's finest.
He opened the door, taking a single breath and standing up as straight as he could.
"Ah, Damien. How lovely to see you again. I hope this isn't a bad time." The Demon smiled. All teeth.
"No, no. It's fine. You're here for the child I suppose?"
At that, Damien heard a noise from behind him, his wife had stood and started walking to the door, waving him off when he reached out a hand to steady her.
"Wait. You sold your firstborn? To this?" She frowned, creases collecting on her brow as she considered something.
"I take full offense to that my dear Emily." This from the demon, whose eyes had not once left the child since it had come into view. "If you don't mind, I'm quite busy. Chaos and strife, you know. So I'll just take the baby and go. Yes?"
"No." This voice was new. Damien didn't recognise it but clearly Emily did. Her face darkened.
"Ash." Her voice was little more than a whisper, yet it carried on some invisible breeze. Ash smiled, a soft thing. Warm and enticing though Damien got the idea that those weren't two traits typically associated with Ash.
"Little Warlock." They greeted. "How much you've grown! And look, your firstborn. Exactly as I'm owed. So if you would please, child."
Damien stood for a moment, then before even the birds could chirp in the trees, "We both sold our firstborns. To different people."
Emily nodded. Ash looked at the demon. The demon looked at Ash. They both sighed.
"Well. Which bargain was made first? That should decide who gets the firstborn. The other will have to wait for the secondborn." This was put forward by Ash. The demon grumbled but offered no complaints.
"June 3rd 1998, 12:45:34" Emily and Damien looked at each other, they had both made the same bargain, at the exact same time.
"Right. Well that's just fantastic isn't it? What do you have to say to this then, Ash? Any more clever little ideas from you?" The demon turned to face Ash, hands on hips, hair slipping loose from the intricate braid it had previously been in.
"Do be quiet, Alice. You'll strain your voice. Then what will we do. No more chaos and strife for you." Ash sniped back, "I suppose we'll just. Have to. Share." Ash grimaced as though they had been asked to live with a drakon, who quite famously did not get on with faeries, instead of having shared custody of a child with a demon.
Alice froze, further arguments falling silent on their lips like charred, withering leaves slowly crumbling in the blaze burning in her eyes. Then she turned. "Can I see it?"
Emily stepped forward holding the baby out for Alice to see. It was strange. The baby. In that it hadn't once cried. Just sat there. Staring. Watching. As if it already knew everything that had and would ever happen. As if it already knew that the people who had brought it into this world, were not the ones it would grow to care for. As if it already knew that its fate was predetermined, had been for years before its birth.
Ash stepped up, quiet awe etched over their features. They only looked up again when Alice spoke.
"Maybe that wouldn't be too bad."
"Yeah. Maybe."
Damien looked at Emily, who raised an eyebrow back. He turned to the two beings in his garden. "Well then. Payment fulfilled." Emily handed Alice the baby and the two of them turned back to their house.
Before they could go, however, Ash's soft voice reached them. "What's its name?"
Damien looked to Emily. Emily looked to Damien.
"She's called Eve." Emily smiled and took Damien by the hand leading into the house. Leaving, Alice and Ash to take their new baby home, while the two of them settled into their seats and watched Sasha, their secondborn twin, play with the faerie and the demon and the baby toys she had in front of her in an eery mimic of the scene still frozen through the windows.
A male wizard sells his future firstborn for knowledge to a demon. A female warlock sells her future firstborn to the fae for power. The two of them have a child together, and now the fae and demon have come to collect.
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

Omg okay so I've kinda just like dropped off the face of the Earth for the last few weeks.
Sorry about that.
I had a rough week with my mental health and now I'm in the middle of my mock exams although I have 6 more to go.
YAYYY. /s
Anyway between all of that I've been writing parts of my fic and crocheting Christmas presents for everyone I know
Suffice it to say, it's been pretty hectic. Hopefully I'll be back to a regular schedule after this week. Keep an eye out here for any more updates and if you want to go and check out my fic it's on ao3 A Poisoned Apple and A Red Rose by LilHan20.
I appreciate you all and thank you for being patient with me.
Hopefully see you all again next Monday xx

I just posted a new chapter of ‘A Poisoned Apple and a Red Rose’ on ao3 and I really love this chapter so here’s a snippet of jegulus interaction that I was quite proud of:
If you liked this then maybe you should check out the rest of the fic.
A Poisoned Apple and a Red Rose by LilHan20 on ao3
I've been thinking.
Dangerous. I know.
But I think I'm gonna start posting little pieces of my writing on here every day if I can. It might not be parts of my fic, could just be anything really, stuff I wrote based on random prompts, poems, random drabbles, whatever. Hopefully it'll help me to be more creative and get over my writer's block.
Another thing I'm gonna start posting more about the maraurders in general and the way I've characterised them myself on here, so then maybe I'll get all like "Oooh Maraurders!" And then write more of my fic, you know?
Anyways, we'll see whether or not this lasts.
Have a good day and look after yourselves, drink some water, go outside if you can and have a good rest of your day/night.
Hey everyone, so I came up with a whole bunch of different AU's in English the other day and wanted to share them with you all.
Soulmate AU - In a world where you can only see the colour of your soulmates eyes when you meet them. If your soulmate dies you lose the ability to see that colour, your soulmate died a month ago but you can still see the colour of their eyes.
Space AU - Your home planet has been destroyed and you and five others are the only remaining survivors. Your spaceship ran out of fuel a week ago and you only have enough food for 2 more days. When you run out of food another spaceship finds and rescues you. The only problem; they are from the same alien race that destroyed your home planet - Earth.
Fairytale AU - You travelled into your favourite fairytale in hopes of finding your own happily ever after only to find that the stories were wrong. The princesses did not get a happily ever after especially if they tried to kill the prince. The stories you know and love were written by men hoping to oppress the uprising among women. It was working until you got there and stirred everything up.
Future AU - You volunteered to test out a prototype time machine to earn some extra cash, they said you would be sent 30 secs into the future, you were sent 80 years into the past and now you must figure out how to survive in a world where women have none of the rights you used to have.
So I hope you like these, have a great rest of your day, and remember to drink water and go outside if you can xx

I'm genuinely having so much fun with the idea so thanks to @lesbianmoony on TikTok for the idea.
