Differently Abled: Another Fantasy AU
(because that’s all I’m good for)
Triggers: um I can’t really think of any besides Sympathetic Deceit. Let me know if you find any. DISCLAIMER: This is my first try at an AU like this, and I want to be respectful of these disabilities if I say something wrong please correct me - or point me to sources where I can better educate myself. Future pairings: For romantic pairings, I’m planning on Moxiety, Roceit, and maybe something for Rémy too. Though they aren’t present here because of point-form. Émile and Logan will be the main developing platonic relationship. While Rémy and Émile will be the main familial pairing depicted.
Patton Cake
- He is blind in both mortal and fantasy realms.
- He was born a seer then gained the title of oracle after losing his vision.
- Lost his vision to gain The Sight.
- He and Virgil communicate telepathically.
- Patton has been in love with Virgil since they were children and has a hard time blocking those thoughts from Virgil when they communicate telepathically.
- Is about 6’5”, and his height makes Virgil anxious because that’s quite a fall if Patton were to trip on something. Though that never happens, despite Patton being incredibly clumsy.
Virgil Dea
- He’s deaf in both realms as he was born deaf.
- He’s a banshee and has a deadly banshee wail though he’s never head it (nor does he realise how deadly the wail is)
- He and Patton communicate telepathically.
- He and Logan communicate through sign language. Though not American or British, they communicate in a form of sign language unique to the fantasy realm. He can also read lips.
- He knows Patton’s in love with someone, but he can’t figure out who. He suspects that it’s Logan and finds himself incredible jealous for some reason.
- He stands to be about 6’1¾”. And although he is considered tall by human standards, only Patton’s height makes him anxious. That clumsy boy will be the death of him.
Rémy and Émile Picani
- They are ½ brothers, and Picani is their mother’s surname
- Their mother was a witch and their fathers were Familiars. Familiars are a special type of shapeshifter who can turn into a specific animal and they form bonds with witches. Though these bonds are considered professional, and it is incredibly taboo for these relationships to become romantic or sexual in nature. And for their mother to be in a polyamorous relationship with these men only made her more of a social outcast.
- Émile’s father was a horse familiar and Rémy’s father was a fish familiar. This is why Émile is a centaur and Rémy is a mermaid.
- Both are wheelchair bound – to various degrees – in the mortal realm. Rémy uses his wheelchair on particularly rainy days, but usually he sticks to leg braces most days – seldom does he go to the mortal realm without these, but it has happened. Émile is always in a wheelchair in the mortal realm. It’s just too hard to hide his horse half any other way.
- Rémy and Émile own a large property together. The property has a forest, a meadow, a salt-water lake, and a large indoor salt-water swimming pool. Patton and Virgil found their way to the property by accident when escaping from an angry mob. Logan was found living in the forest and was invited into the house by Émile. Deceit thought the property was a great place to escape from Roman. Though this ended up being a safe-haven for Roman from the other angels who did, in fact, follow Deceit onto the property.
- Rémy and Émile’s property also houses one of the few sealable portals to the mortal realm.
- In mermaid form Rémy is about 9 feet long – most of it being his tail, when wearing his leg braces, he’s 5’11”. Émile seems shot when he’s in his wheelchair but is actually well over 8 feet tall as a centaur.
Logan Vriel
- Mute in the mortal realm
- As a Fairy, his voice is at a frequency which is only audible to mortal children
- He communicates in sign language to most, but telepathically with Patton.
- With Virgil and others from the fantasy realm, he communicates in a sign language unique to that realm. However, in the mortal realm, he communicates to others in the common sign language of the area. He will occasionally mix up his signs because of how many languages he can sign in.
- Sleeps in the house on the property but is often in the forest on his own or with Émile.
- In his Fairy form, he’s about the size of a dragonfly. In his human form, he’s 5’7”.
Roman
- Wears a back brace in the mortal realm – the kind seen amongst those suffering from scoliosis – to hide his wings in the mortal realm.
- He is an angel and is often tasked with cleaning up Deceit’s messes.
- Tries not to reveal himself as an angel in the mortal realm but it has happened on occasion. Usually, Deceit was involved.
- Has tried to escape his angelic duties on several occasions which is how he came to live with Émile and Rémy.
- Is hopelessly bound to Deceit – or that’s what Patton keeps telling him.
- Like Deceit, he doesn’t possess a surname. However, if he needs to give one, He opts for the name Flamel.
- Is usually between 5’4”-5’6½” in human form, Can be well over 20’ tall in his angelic form when in Heaven.
Deceit
- He was born without a right arm. His family believed this to be the root of his evil missing right arm (left in Latin is sinister and his family is VERY old school). His family paid a witch to have him banished to Hell. But was then banished from Hell for not being Evil.
- He became a devil and grew horns and a tail. He doesn’t even attempt to hide these in the mortal realm. His tail acts like a second hand.
- His is very mischievous, though he isn’t evil. He just worships chaos.
- He was banished to Hell at such a young age that he never knew his name or if his family even gave him one. As a result, he’s known as Deceit in the fantasy realm because of all the aliases he’s used in the mortal realm.
- In cases where he needs a surname, he will use Dolos and will shorten Deceit to “D”. So, on official fantasy realm documents, his name will appear as “D. Dolos”. But for all other intents and purposes, he treats “Deceit” as if it were his real name.
- Is surprisingly upset when he thinks Roman stopped chasing him.
- Stands at 5’10” tall.
