Grom Night
she's going places (textless alt beneath the thingy)
A little sneak peek at my next short fic project...
Luz's head hurt.
Her ears hurt and wouldn't stop ringing. One eye hurt and couldn't seem to focus on anything. The inside of her skull hurt and her brain was stuck looping the chorus of that Carly Rae Jepsen song that played on the radio so often, it had to be doubling back through the space/time continuum for chronologically inadvisable exposure. A song couldn't possibly be played 28 hours a day, but Call Me Maybe sure managed it somehow.
What was she doing lying flat on her back in the middle of the parking lot, listening to some girl incessantly singing about her crush, anyway? And why did it feel like she'd just gotten her ass royally kicked by said crush's pickup truck?
Shoes slapped the pavement, growing louder. Someone was running up to her. Maybe she was hogging the good spot in the parking lot and other people wanted to lie here?
"Luz! Holy crap, are you all right?" The owner of the voice swam into sight overhead, accompanied by a slightly translucent exact duplicate who phased in and out of his body like he was performing history's least enthusiastic astral projection. Like, stepping outside his body, but the way a cat stood just on the threshold of an open door waiting for their human servant to turn off the bad weather.
It's hard to look right at ya, baby. Yup, you said it, Carlie. Now can you shut up?
But stranger than that was the feeling that she ought to know who this was, but didn't. Could a face evoke the same feeling the way a word did when it was right on the tip of your tongue and wouldn't quite make that last step out into something you could say, so you wound up sputtering and looking like you had a sneeze stuck in your sinuses? Like, it was just barely out of reach, and she could swear she knew him, but the phrase coming to mind was snot puddle, which wasn't helpful.
Well, astrally projecting or notโwhich, probably not, but she wasn't gonna say so and potentially hurt his feelingsโhe looked decent enough. Black kid, maybe a little younger than herself, hair back in a combination of afro and a top knot, and a uniform that sort of matched the one she was wearing if you discounted the illusionary twin he had going on. He really ought to get that checked out.
"Luz!" Out came a phone as if by magic and, yup, he was dialing the magic number that made ambulances appear and finances disappear. She tuned in with half an earโthe other half was hearing you took your time with the call, I took no time with the fallโas he explained that he thought she'd been hit by a car, which, no, it was Carlie's would-be boyfriend's truck, hello. Apparently put on hold, he checked in with her again. "They asked if you think you can move or if your neck might be hurt."
Move? Well, her neck felt all right for the most part. To be honest, everything hurt at least a bit, but it was her head that felt like she'd just squared off with a territorial hippo. Luz experimentally rocked herself back and forth a couple times, then threw her momentum forward and sat up. She meant to let out a sarcastic whoo of triumph, but sitting upright promptly made the world spin so violently that she settled for a sound like a wet alley cat.
"Okay, she was able to sit up, but she's not looking too hot," the guy and his astral projectionโscratch that, there were three of them now!โreported to whoever was on the other end of the phone. "She's got a bad gash over one eye and I don't know if she's really with it. Hold on, I'll checkโ"
He covered the receiver and asked, "Do you think you need to go to the hospital?" Then, with a frown, he added, "Did Amity do this?"
Hospital. Nope. Her mom would kill her if she was anything less than dead before winding up in a hospital. With an effort of will, Luz put on her most reassuring smile and laughed nonchalantly. "I'm fine! Who's Amity?"
This did not go over as well as she'd hoped.
Take a break
Dear stars. At long last, chapter 29 is finished, clocking in at over 18,300 words. I may have let this chapter get completely away from me. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55091485/chapters/163481692
I understand why they cut it (both for time and because the rest of the sequence is so serious that it becomes incongruent), but I kinda wish they had kept the reaction shot in King's Tide. From here:
THEY ARE TOO PRECIOUS.
Amity being protective of Luz.
1. Lost in Language.
Even though the misunderstanding and conflict between the two haven't been solved, Amity still faces danger from Otabin to save Luz.
2. Understanding Willow.
Amity catches up on inner Willow's presence and quickly takes Luz to a hiding place and shield her.
3. Enchanting Grom's Fright.
Despite being fear of Grom as well, Amity still jumps right in front of Grom to protect Luz. Not related but she has me laughing when she jumps down from the tree.
4. Wing It Like Witches.
During the Grudgeby match, Amity has saved Luz from the attack twice, and broke her leg in the second time.
5. Escaping Expulsion.
Of course we can't forget this epic episode. Amity stands up to her parents to protect Luz and others. "Stay away from my Luz" is my favorite line.
6. Follies in the Coven Day Parade.
Amity quickly stops Terra's plant from hurting Luz in the nick of time.
7. King's Tide.
I love how gentle Amity's hand on Luz's head is when she saves Luz from being hit by the rock.
8. Thanks to Them.
Despite being attacked and falling on the ground, Amity still tries to save Luz by using the mud that she isn't familiar with.
9. For the Future.
Lastly, Amity helps Luz get out of the In-Between Realm. She's such an attentive, protective and caring girlfriend.
gives them a tiger blanket,
they deserve it

I tried to redraw a fanart of the owl house. I tried to improve the poses and add more details. โจโจ
I made a drawing, and I liked the idea of Luz and Hunter being the only ones not holding Halloween pumpkins, as they were both worried at the time.
