*'Get me out of there,’ he said. ‘Please.' - Gwyn ap Nudd*

***The Spoils of the Spoiled*** is a *Fae Tales Verse AU*, and part 1 of *Spoils*. It is a *Fae Tales* high school AU set in a weird amalgamation of Australian and England practices for school/government.

## Summary

Highschool is a trying time for pretty much everyone. But it *definitely* is when you're dealing with an abusive family at home, an eating disorder, championships, and the Prefect of the House of Ravens is trying to emotionally blackmail you into...well, anything he damn well wants. (An Augus and Gwyn story that needs absolutely no understanding of previous canon/content to read).

## Character Bios

### Principal Albion

#### Appearance

'Heading on past sixty, having facial hair as neatly clipped and maintained as his suit, Principal Albion was terrifying most of the time; even when he appeared to be in a good mood.'

#### Life

Albion was the principal of Murdock, and friends with Crielle and Lludd, or at least 'in Lludd's pocket.' Efnisien said that Albion was also wrapped around *his* finger.

### Alder

#### Appearance

Alder wore 'a royal blue suit' when Gwyn and Augus first met him.

#### Life

Alder was seemingly in charge of one of the sheepdog shows at the Royal Show, and talked to Augus and Gwyn about deerhounds. He worked with his close friend Fred. Augus later suggested Gwyn contact Alder for help about getting a dog.

### Alva Dubna Vajat

Alva is one of Lija's seven children, along with her sisters: Galina, Gulvi, Iveta, Julvia, Liene, and Maruta. 'Alva was obsessed with birds and was away a lot at a raptor training facility, where she did falconry classes and ‘meet the raptor’ sessions with schoolkids.' Alva is one of Gulvi's older sisters.

### Ash Glashtyn

#### Personality

He is playful, and known to sleep around. Ash often worried about Augus' health, particularly when Augus skipped sleep in favor of work. Despite Ash's love of Augus, he was infuriated when Augus assaulted Gwyn, and called him out on it. Although Ash can mess around, he can also be focused and incredibly helpful when needed. He even stole Augus' phone briefly after Augus was barraging Gwyn with apologies to advise Gwyn to block Augus' number. He can also be very protective, and wanted Gwyn to come home with them after learning more about Gwyn's abusive family. He even gave Gwyn a hug at their first meeting afterward. He also made use of his many friendships and contacts to put some of their belongings in storage after they got kicked out of the trap house, and reached out to Gulvi to move into her mom's spare place. Shortly afterward, he got a job at a supermarket, and later got Gwyn a job there. The pair became better friends while working together, and Gwyn encouraged him. He also discouraged students from talking about Gwyn beating up Efnisien.

Ash told Gwyn that he started stealing because he wanted Augus to have nice things, and then he couldn't figure out how to stop. Augus thought Ash did it because Ash was pretending the items were mementos from his family, and he'd mostly stopped when he met Augus at the foster home.

He also smokes.

#### Life

Ash was seemingly in decent foster homes until the one he and Augus were in together, where Ash refused to eat due to abuse from their guardians until Augus emancipated himself and adopted Ash to protect him. Augus got Ash a full-ride scholarship to Murdock, so Ash was a student at Murdock at the start of the story. He was also known for keying cars and theft, which put his and Augus' scholarships at risk, though it also provided them with the things they couldn't get even with the scholarship, like clothing and food.

Before the story start, Ash sabotaged Davix's car in revenge for Davix being cruel and threatening abuse. Gwyn attacked him for it, and they got in a fight.

At the end of the story, Ash withdrew from Murdock and worked as a supervisor at the supermarket. Ash seemed to be considering becoming a hairdresser, 'so he could talk to lots of different people and make them feel beautiful and confident in themselves.'

### Asim

#### Appearance

Asim wore 'starched white with many small metal badges of status at his pocket.'

#### Life

Gwyn met Asim at the clinic to get an MRI. Asim walked him to the MRI and answered Gwyn's questions about it.

### Augus Each Uisge

#### Appearance

Augus was 'long and lean . . . [and] sweetly sculpted' physically, due to his fencing practice. He had 'green eyes that were unblinking and too sharp to weather.' He tended to wear his hair tied up, down, or sometimes in a braid. When Augus first visited Gwyn at Mikkel's safehouse, he wore 'a black shirt, black skinny jeans and a second-hand vintage leather motorcycle jacket that looked like it was worth a fortune but had been buried deep in new arrivals at the Salvation Army' and left his hair untied. He often wore knee-high boots. He sometimes wore eyeliner.

#### Personality

'Augus was rough and caustic, crude and mean, bitter and virginal and sometimes so angry at the world he felt incandescent with it.' He was very inexperienced in physical relationships prior to being involved with Gwyn, though he was *very* interested in the subject. He has some form of PTSD from his childhood, which was partially triggered by dealing with what happened to Gwyn, along with losing his internship, the trap house, and putting his scholarship in jeopardy. He also dealt with suicidal ideation. He doesn't like being asked personal questions.

#### Life

Augus was abandoned as a baby. He was adopted by a family, but given up when he was four, then went from abusive foster home to abusive foster home, though some were nice, but couldn't handle fostering, until he emancipated himself and adopted Ash in order to rescue them both. He was a student on a scholarship he obtained at Murdock, and Ash's foster brother and guardian. He had to repeat a year of school. He was 18 years old at the start of the story and pansexual. He was also a school Prefect, and sold essays to older students to turn in as their own work. He worked as an intern at the law firm Bride, Hildegaard and Morrisson, and planned to use the experience to get a job to support himself and Ash once they graduated.

After Gwyn attacked Ash, Augus decided to blackmail him in revenge. He reached out to Mafydd, and got the story of Mafydd's expulsion, which he used against Gwyn. Augus and Gwyn began spending time together, until Augus sexually assaulted Gwyn, sending him to the hospital, which revealed their physical relationship to Gwyn's parents. Augus discovered that Gwyn was being abused by his family and was going to be sent to Wentworth for conversion therapy, so Augus promised to get Gwyn emancipated. He reached out to Mr. Prince, who reached out to Mikkel, and Mikkel started a case for Gwyn, though the situation put Augus' scholarship at risk, ended his job at the law firm, and made Augus and Ash homeless. He finally agreed to accept Lija's offer to stay with her, while he supported Gwyn through the court case. When Efnisien began assaulting him, Augus hid it, until Gwyn came upon them and nearly beat Efnisien to death. When Augus discovered Efnisien had placed the USB of Crielle's recordings and notes on Gwyn's abuse in Augus' pocket, it changed the trajectory of the court case. Augus got a new job with Fenwrel's help doing bookkeeping, withdrew from Murdock, kept his relationship with Gwyn, which at some point had turned to love, and was later adopted (likely by Lija).

### Bianca

Bianca was a 'bubbly woman who was only in her first year at university, with hair as bright and large as her voice', who worked in an adult toy store, and gave Augus advice on physical relationships and the local scene. She had a partner whom she knew since they were in school.

### Mr. Bride

#### Appearance

'He was a whip-lean greyhound of a man, the kind who looked like he'd kill you in your sleep'.

#### Personality

Of 'all the partners he was the nicest. As nice as any of the partners could ever be, anyway.'

#### Life

Mr. Bride was one of the partners at Bride, Hildegaard and Morrisson. When Mikkel filed for a VRO on Gwyn's behalf, Mr. Bride informed Augus that they were terminating his internship, and that they knew that Augus had stolen the trap house. Mr. Bride was sharp and very judgmental of Augus' life choices, but also gave Augus the chance to vacate his trap house without being charged as an adult and served with jail-time.

### Crielle ap Nudd

#### Appearance

According to Gulvi, Crielle 'was wretchedly beautiful, the kind of beauty that you sacrificed newborns for or something', and even Augus thought when he first saw her that she was 'stunning . . . Her golden blonde hair tumbled in salon curls down her back. Her skin was flawless. Augus had seen the fringe of her thick lashes, the curve of a manicured brow, the cupid’s bow of perfect lips and French manicured nails. She wore chic business pants in a tailored cream, a dark blue shirt. Her shoes looked like they cost a fortune, stylish blue things with a pointed toe and sensible heels for shopping.'

#### Personality

Gwyn said that Crielle was 'harmless, really, like she's never done anything worse than put stuff in my food. She doesn't hit me like he does. She just cares about the family reputation.' He also noted that she didn't want anyone to know she was poisoning him.

#### Life

Crielle is the wife of Lludd, mother of Gwyn, aunt of Efnisien, sister of Penny, and sister-in-law of Euroswydd. She also attempted to have more children, but failed. She abused Gwyn mentally and physically his entire life. Her weapons of choice were poison hidden in Gwyn's food and emotional manipulation, as well as siccing Efnisien on Gwyn.

When Efnisien gave the USB of her recordings and notes to Augus, Crielle stabbed Efnisien five times in the gut, ultimately settled the case with Gwyn, and fled the country with Lludd.

### Coach Davix

Davix was the wrestling coach at Murdock. He told Ash that Ash was 'trash', grabbed Ash's shoulder hard, said that 'it was unfair that people liked [Ash] but that it didn’t mean anything, and then said that no one would ever give a shit about [Ash], and that he could do anything he wanted to [Ash], and [Ash] couldn’t do' anything about it. He also marked Ash down for 'having fun', despite Ash being good at sports.

### Efnisien ap Wledig

#### Appearance

Early on in the story, Efnisien had long golden hair that was styled with a lot of products. He was also 'always more athletic than he seemed'. When Efnisien assaulted Augus for the last time, his dark blue eyes 'were bloodshot and red-rimmed. He smelled of heavy alcohol. His hair wasn’t perfectly curled like normal, flyaway pieces of it all over the place.'

#### Personality

Efnisien tortured Gwyn for much of Gwyn's life, and was known for his cruelty, though he was also the most bearable member of Gwyn's family, as they could sometimes relax together.

#### Life

Efnisien is Gwyn's cousin, Crielle and Lludd's nephew, and the son of Penny and Euroswydd. His parents abandoned him after his birth to go live on cruise ships, leaving him in Crielle's care. He was 17 at the start of the story, and attended Murdock, where he served as a Prefect. 'For the sake of Efnisien’s education, and because Gwyn couldn’t prove that Efnisien hurt him and because he just didn’t think of his cousin in the same way, he’d left Efnisien off the VRO details.' Efnisien started sending Gwyn angry and threatening texts after the VRO, and stalked and assaulted Augus to threaten him into making Gwyn drop the case. He also raided Lludd's alcohol cabinet, and joked that he should take out a VRO against Lludd. He also started self-harming in other ways.

He ultimately copied a bunch of videos and files Crielle had kept, recounting her abuse of Gwyn onto a USB, and sneaked it into Augus' pocket while assaulting Augus. When Gwyn found them mid-act, Gwyn nearly beat Efnisien to death before Augus pulled him away, after which Gwyn discovered that Efnisien had blocked Gwyn's phone number. The information turned the tide for Gwyn's case, and Crielle retaliated by stabbing Efnisien five times in the gut, sending him to the hospital. His parents visited him once, saying that he had to attend Hillview before they'd agree to support him while he lived on his own. Gwyn insisted on visiting him, and promised that he'd continue to visit Efnisien if Efnisien tried to follow through on his treatment, rather than killing himself or otherwise giving up. By the end of the story, Efnisien was on medication to help with his Pure O, and was attending Hillview, where he stated that he was no longer self-harming.

### Euroswydd

Euroswydd is the husband of Penny, father of Efnisien, brother-in-law to Crielle and Lludd, and uncle to Gwyn. He spent most of the last 20 years on cruise ships with Penny, and abandoned his son seemingly at Efnisien's birth. After Efnisien was stabbed and sent to the hospital, he and Penny returned only once to visit, where they ordered Efnisien to go to Hillview, as the only way they'd monetarily support him in the future.

### Fenwrel Vallakali

#### Appearance

When Augus first met her in person, 'she sat calmly in the chair and stared at him, her tailored blue business suit impeccable, a teal scarf at her brown throat, printed in gold. Her long black hair was up in a bun, shiny and fixed perfectly in place.' She had gold rimmed glasses.

#### Personality

She was sharp, and treated Augus like an adult. She seemed to be close with Mikkel, at least to the point that they hugged when greeting each other.

#### Life

Fenwrel came from a wealthy family who owned a good chunk of the city where the story takes place. Fenwrel was an attorney at Vallakali, Dhanial and Permanu who worked Gwyn's court case, and then set up the settlement for him. She also offered Augus a job. Augus had a habit of finding information that would ruin her arguments when he worked at Bride, Hildegaard and Morrisson. She wanted to offer him an internship once he was terminated from Bride, Hildegaar and Morrison, but was conflicted out of doing so because she was working on Gwyn's case. Instead, she reached out to a friend on his behalf. Fenwrel pushed for a settlement, but also wanted Lludd, at the least, to go to jail. She also heavily leaned on Gwyn to testify against Crielle when they had no other evidence against her, which Gwyn refused. She informed Gwyn that Efnisien was hospitalized. She also agreed to go for the settlement option over a trial, but made solid arguments in support of the trial.

#### Skills

Mikkel said she was 'one of the best of the best' and had high fees.

### Fred

#### Appearance

Fred wore pink suit at the Royal Show that Gwyn and Augus attended.

#### Life

Fred worked with Alder at the Royal Show.

### Galina Dubna Vajat

Galina is one of Lija's seven children, along with her sisters: Alva, Gulvi, Iveta, Julvia, Liene, and Maruta. 'Galina was twelve and had a voice like a whisper, and floaty, fluffy blonde hair that was never tamed or braided or tied back – Gulvi [said that Galina] didn’t like certain kinds of clothes or textures and that she didn’t like short hair either, and it was sometimes difficult to deal with. She only cared about a cartoon that Augus didn’t mind watching, so he watched it with her'.

### Dr Gary

Dr Gary was one Efnisien's treating psychologists at Hillview. He spoke with Gwyn, with Efnisien's permission, about some of Efnisien's mental illnesses, including Efnisien's Pure O.

### Gulvi Dubna Vajat

#### Personality

Gulvi was not on speaking terms with her grandparents. She fell in love with Ash some time before the story present. She was also 'neutral weird friends' with Gwyn at upmarket events. She smoked, and played video games with Kayla. Kayla called her 'cygnet'.

#### Life

Gulvi was a student at Murdock, Kayla's girlfriend, and a friend of Ash, Augus, and later, Gwyn. Her mother is Lija, and Gulvi has six sisters: Alva, Galina, Iveta, Julvia, Liene, and Maruta. In the past, she'd offered to help Ash (and Augus) out by giving them a place to stay. When she learned about some of the abuse Gwyn was dealing with, she offered to come see him at his home, to help. Gwyn told her she couldn't come, to protect her from Efnisien. Augus later confided in her after Efnisien assaulted him.

#### Skills

Gulvi is very smart, and on track to go 'to a great university'.

### Gwyn ap Nudd

#### Appearance

Gwyn is tall, with short, curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. He's also quite muscular. When he met with Augus after Augus assaulted him, he looked very different. Augus noted the 'long sleeves even though it was too warm for them. The long pants. The sneakers. A . . . turtleneck. It was a miracle that he wasn’t wearing sunglasses to hide the bruising under his eyes.'

#### Personality

Gwyn is cynical, bitter, and has deadpan humor, but is also quiet, and capable of great rage. He's also a decent liar, even to people he cares about, like Augus. He feared going home, because it made him available for abuse from his parents and cousin, including poisoning from Crielle. Crielle's poisonings traumatized him around eating, particularly in front of other people, but mostly food in general, and he limited himself to eating only when his mother wasn't around, when he bought food from a store, or from a butcher and which he could cook himself away from home, whole chickens at take-out, items stolen from the Murdock kitchens, and vending machines.

#### Life

Gwyn is the son of Crielle and Lludd, Efnisien's cousin, and Penny and Euroswydd's nephew. At age 14, he took pictures of himself to do something about his abusive childhood, but ended up not doing anything. He was 17 at the start of the story and attended Murdock.

#### Skills

At the start of the story, Gwyn was a star pupil and athlete on the wrestling team, and a member of the House of Doves, though Gwyn thought he was only likely to get into college on a sports scholarship, since he had difficulty studying. He's very technologically savvy, though, which he hid for some time, largely because it helped him survive his family, and he can be very strategic in his thinking.

After Gwyn attacked Ash, Augus decided to blackmail him in revenge. He reached out to Mafydd, and got the story of Mafydd's expulsion, which he used against Gwyn. The pair began spending time together, until Augus sexually assaulted Gwyn, sending him to the hospital, which revealed their physical relationship to Gwyn's parents. Augus discovered that Gwyn was being abused and was going to be sent to Wentworth for conversion therapy, so Augus promised to get Gwyn emancipated. Gwyn stayed at Mikkel's safehouse for the duration of the suit against his parents. When Gwyn discovered Efnisien assaulting Augus, Gwyn nearly beat Efnisien to death, and Augus had to pull Gwyn away. When Augus discovered that Efnisien had slipped Augus a USB full of incriminating information on Crielle, Gwyn tried to contact Efnisien, and became a bit worried about him, particularly when Gwyn learned that Efnisien had been hospitalized. He later visited Efnisien at the hospital, and though he was wary, he promised to visit Efnisien if Efnisien *tried* to follow through with therapy at Hillview. By the end of the story, Gwyn withdrew from school so he could focus on working as nightfill at the supermarket where Ash worked.

### Iveta Dubna Vajat

Iveta is one of Lija's seven children, along with her sisters: Alva, Galina, Gulvi, Julvia, Liene, and Maruta. 'Iveta was struggling with finding a place to move into, because she didn’t want to leave home, but she also wanted to know what independence felt like.' Iveta is one of Gulvi's older sisters.

### Julvia Dubna Vajat

Julvia is one of Lija's seven children, along with Julvia's sisters: Alva, Galina, Gulvi, Iveta, Liene, and Maruta. She did embroidery as an extracurricular. Her group went into cafes and embroidered together, and Julvia won awards for it. 'Julvia loved embroidery and did a lot of fabric work with Lija, and they bonded over it.' Julvia is one of Gulvi's older sisters. She also seemingly had a habit of rick-rolling her family at Christmas every year.

### Kayla Grace

#### Appearance

She possibly has Chinese ancestry. She had brown hair. At the Royal Fair, 'Kayla was rocking a goth look, a long black duster over a skirt that came halfway down her thighs, boots that were even higher than Augus’, someway up past the knee, and several silver and black chokers.' She also wore red lipstick.

#### Life

Kayla was a student at Murdock, Gulvi's girlfriend, and a friend of Ash, Augus, and later, Gwyn. Her father ran a sports superstore, and he was mad at his parents for how they treated Kayla. She played video games, though Gulvi sometimes helped her beat them. She was an art student, and seemingly very good. She's transgender, and after Gulvi and Kayla offered to come visit Gwyn at his home, Gwyn was adamant Kayla not go in particular, to protect her from Efnisien.

### Liene Dubna Vajat

Liene is one of Lija's seven children, along with her sisters: Alva, Galina, Gulvi, Iveta, Julvia, and Maruta. 'Liene sang a lot when she was in the kitchen, and she and Augus had quickly realised they found a lot of the same celebrities attractive, and she was always showing him pictures of models and celebs on her phone, asking what he thought about them all.' Liene is one of Gulvi's older sisters.

### Dr Lija Dubna

#### Appearance

'She was a short, broad woman with waist length white hair that was always up and bound because of her work at the hospital. She had the kind of gaze that made Augus feel in trouble just for being there.'

#### Personality

She is compassionate to both Augus and Ash, and has a warm relationship with them. Augus loves her. Gulvi noted that Lija is 'a bit of a bleeding heart at the best of times.' She also cared about heritage, and came from a line of strong matriarchs who worked hard, and didn't like Bride, Hildegaard and Morrisson or the ap Nudd family. Her family was 'rather pagan' and she also became a surgeon because it's 'the most brutal form of healing that exists'.

#### Life

Lija is a surgeon and has seven daughters: Alva, Galina, Gulvi, Iveta, Julvia, Liene, and Maruta. She took Augus and Ash into her home after they lost the trap house. She had 'a black and white cat' named Mintie. During Christmas, she asked Augus (and Ash) to stay at her home, long-term.

### Lludd Llaw Eraint

Lludd is Crielle's husband, Gwyn's father, Efnisien's uncle, and brother-in-law to Penny and Euroswydd. He is also incredibly homophobic and cruel and has physically and emotionally abused Gwyn for seemingly Gwyn's entire life. Efnisien noted that Lludd 'is thirsty for beating someone to death. You can just see it in his eyes sometimes.' He previously served in the Navy, then had a job down at the docks, and would take out his stress on Gwyn.

### Madge

Madge was one of Ash and Gwyn's coworkers at the supermarket.

### Mafydd Brant

Mafydd was a year older than Gwyn when they had a relationship. He was very forward, and pursued Gwyn for a more physically intimate relationship. He promised that he'd deleted their text messages, because he was the only non-family member who knew what would happen if Lludd found out about them, but actually kept them. He also taught Gwyn about the extent of the security cameras in Murdock. When Gwyn's parents found out about their relationship, they had Gwyn report it as assault, and Mafydd was expelled. Gwyn seemingly loved him, but convinced himself he didn't.

### Marika O'Caoimh

Marika was Augus' manager at Augus' overflow bookkeeping job at a real estate firm, possibly alongside Ondine. Presumably Fenwrel recommended him to her. 'Marika, it turned out, was a fair boss, almost impossible to read otherwise, and while she frequently told him he was doing a good job, she wasn’t exactly what he would call warm in personality.'

### Marley

One of Ash and Gwyn's co-workers at the supermarket. They 'worked the chocolate aisle [with Tomiko and] had a running competition every shift to see how many empty chocolate bar wrappers they could find.'

### Maruta Dubna Vajat

Maruta is one of Lija's seven children, along with her sisters: Alva, Galina, Gulvi, Iveta, Julvia, and Liene. 'Maruta, at eight, was level headed and adored Ash. She was also the first to badger Augus into getting his hair braided, which had started all of the sisters that had been there at the time into hounding him until he had no choice but to let them, or literally run away.'

### Mikal

Mikal was presumably another foster child who was once in the same house as Augus and Ash at some point. Augus had a feeling that something was wrong with Mikal, and was seemingly correct about it. Augus later compared the feeling he had with Mikal to the one he had when Gwyn disappeared from Murdock and went radio-silent for two weeks after Augus assaulted him.

### Mikkel Flynn

#### Appearance

When Gwyn first met Mikkel, he 'was a man in his thirties with brown-red curling hair and a weirdly genial look about him. But his eyes were too perceptive and the smile he gave Gwyn wasn’t warm. . . . He was covered in an amount of freckles that probably got him teased when he was younger. He had stubble that wasn’t very well groomed.'

#### Personality

Mikkel was bitter about the cruelties his clients have had to deal with. He also dealt with some self-hatred. He also told Gwyn that the main reason he does what he does is because he wants to hurt the people who hurt others, and this is the best way to do it since murder is illegal. Mr. Prince said Mikkel was 'trustworthy, and has some weight in law enforcement' and the pair have known each other for a long time.

#### Life

Mikkel came from a wealthy family, but used his inheritance to help people in need, like clients dealing with difficult situations, so he has multiple safehouses to use as needed. He wasn't rich, but he was stable. He was also abandoned as a teenager, and one of his friends was assaulted and killed. Mikkel was a *prochen ami*. He worked as a 'client services and victim liaison', sometimes serving 'as an intermediary between cops and difficult cases that require sensitivity'. After Mr. Prince reached out to Mikkel, he met with Gwyn, and they talked about the potentialities with Gwyn's case. Mikkel was blunt, but thorough, and even occasionally kind. Mikkel stated that Gwyn had 'a case for legal emancipation of a minor on the grounds of extensive abuse and neglect.' He let Gwyn stay in one of his safehouses after obtaining the VRO with Gwyn's family. He also warned Gwyn to tone down his relationship with Augus so as to not endanger his case. Mikkel also told Gwyn that Gwyn's case got Augus fired, when Augus didn't tell Gwyn first. Mikkel also repeatedly advised Gwyn to see a therapist. Mikkel also encouraged Gwyn to do what *he* wanted to do with the case against Gwyn's parents, rather than what Fenwrel insisted on.

### Old Pete

Students at Murdock usually visited Old Pete when they needed advice.

### Ondine

Ondine is a sort of friend to Gwyn, but also seemingly Augus' boss at the real estate job, possibly alongside Marika, though it might be a different Ondine. She called Augus out for being too cynical. She also wanted Augus to complete school.

### Paul

Paul was a nurse Gwyn met at the hospital who was very kind to him. 'Paul had gently sat near Gwyn and handed him some lukewarm, milky tea and explained to him that even men could be raped and that it was okay to just get a rape kit even if he didn’t want to press charges, and that he wasn’t going to be judged and that they didn’t need to tell his family'.

### Penny

Penny is the wife of Euroswydd, mother of Efnisien, sister to Crielle, sister-in-law to Lludd, and aunt to Gwyn. She spent most of the last 20 years on cruise ships with Euroswydd, and abandoned her son seemingly at Efnisien's birth. Gwyn noted that Penny likely knew Crielle was poisoning Gwyn. After Efnisien was stabbed and sent to the hospital, she and Euroswydd returned only once to visit, where they ordered Efnisien to go to Hillview, as the only way they'd monetarily support him in the future.

### Mr. Prince (the "Raven Prince")

#### Appearance

Mr. Prince was seemingly always smartly dressed, even on the weekend.

#### Personality

He disapproved of Augus using Pro Plus pills to help him work. He helped train Augus in fencing, and he 'might have a soft-spot for the brothers. But he wasn’t *soft*.' He was a good teacher and enjoyed fencing and teaching it, and was seemingly unaffected by the cold. He was intimidating. He said himself that he's not naturally comforting or soothing. 'While Mr. Prince had never directly intervened on Augus and Ash’s behalf that Augus knew of, Augus still got a sense that Mr. Prince had looked out for them. He also knew that Mr. Prince had very little patience with the rich snobs who funded the school'.

#### Life

Mr. Prince was Head of Raven House at Murdock. When Augus agreed to help emancipate Gwyn, he sought out Mr. Prince's help, as one potentially reliable adult who wouldn't go to Gwyn's parents about it, and might have good advice. Mr. Prince contacted Mikkel on Augus and Gwyn's behalf, and advised Augus that Augus' involvement could endanger his and Ash's scholarships, and that Mr. Prince would not put his job on the line for them, though Mr. Prince implied that he wasn't sure he wanted to keep his job, anyway. He talked with Augus when Augus' grades began to slip, and encouraged Augus to get help.

After Augus withdrew from school, Mr. Prince 'insisted on fortnightly visits', and encouraged Augus to apply to other schools, because he wanted Augus to continue his education. He also insisted that Augus join the fencing club that Mr. Prince attended.

### Ria

Ria was one of the MRI technicians who handled Gwyn's first MRI. 'Her brown wrists had dark reddish-brown tattoos on them in matching, intricate patterns. She caught him staring and turned her arms to show him the undersides where the pattern continued.' She was supportive and kind to Gwyn.

### Stacey

Stacey was the adult who ran the foster home where Augus found Ash and emancipated himself. She was verbally and physically abusive.

### Terho

Terho is indebted to Augus for something. He did a lot of Augus' 'dirty work'.

### Tomiko

One of Ash and Gwyn's co-workers at the supermaket. Tomiko 'worked the chocolate aisle [with Marley and] had a running competition every shift to see how many empty chocolate bar wrappers they could find.' Tomiko told the others 'that if there was ever a day where they found no empty wrappers or stolen chocolate, they had to go out for burgers on the weekend and take turns paying for each other’s meal.'

### Trow

Trow was three years younger than Augus and Ash and 'a math prodigy' who worked for Augus at Murdock by doing Augus' homework when Augus didn't have the time. He had wide, grey eyes, and 'pale mouse-brown hair spiked up every which way.' Augus blackmailed him by recording a conversation Trow had where he talked about his mother illegally overturning charges.

## Locations

#### An Fnwy mansion

The primary story mansion for the An Fnwy family. Efnisien and Gwyn used to live there when they didn't stay at school, along with Lludd and Crielle. Penny and Euroswydd would rarely visit. After the settlement with Gwyn and Efnisien went to the hospital, then to Hillview, and Lludd and Crielle fled the country, the mansion was sold, along with everything in it. The mansion was near Jacaranda Street, which is opposite a park. The mansion was bordered by a 'red-brick fence', that had 'a large gate where bigger service vehicles would approach the property. The intermittent trees on the other side of the fence. Then a smaller, green wooden gate that had moss all over it and looked like it was no longer used.' Near that spot was some pine trees that 'grew thickly on a small plot of land that didn’t seem to be owned by anyone anymore.' Gwyn liked that spot because it didn't have surveillance cameras. There was a path leading away where the pines eventually 'ended and became a tract of natural forest, complete with protective low fence and tiny opening for those who liked to walk through remnant wild places. . . . down a hardly used limestone path was a small bench made of concrete.'

Gwyn had his own room, with a full-length mirror. He had a bed, with a side table nearby.

#### Ash and Gwyn's supermarket job

Possibly the same supermarket Ash used to steal from, though he sometimes seemed to tone it down because he 'liked the staff.' It has a self-service checkout. Crielle possibly shopped there with Gwyn once. Gwyn had his second shift there after one day of giving testimony about Lludd at court. Ash and Gwyn would play hockey with brooms and a tuna can that Ash dubbed 'brockey', and apparently Gwyn won all the time.

#### Augus' trap house

Augus found the former trap house 'as an asset in one of his bosses’ client’s files, but the client went to jail, the boss didn’t sell it off – because Augus carefully slipped that paperwork out of the file and the client had too many traps to keep track of – and Augus charged off the rates and bills to the offshore accounts that had landed the client in jail in the first place.' The house number was #21. He kept the utilities running through fraud. It had mostly functional Internet connectivity. The ceiling was stained and the house was generally dusty. It had a second mattress and room for Ash to use, without any real soundproofing. According to Gwyn it 'wasn’t the prettiest house in the street, the grass needed to be mowed', but it wasn't otherwise seemingly terrible from the outside. Augus noted that it had termites, and Gwyn saw that, inside, it 'was smallish. Maybe only three bedrooms from the general size of it. The lounge had second-hand couches and none of the furniture matched, but it didn’t look terrible. The floors were stained, but clean. The linoleum in the kitchen had chunks taken out of it, but it was also clean. There was only one dish in the sink and the counter was otherwise clean except for half a loaf of bread near the stove.'

In Augus' bedroom, on 'the floor was a mattress serving as a bed [which Ash had found]. It was dressed with sheets, blankets, pillows, but it was still just…a mattress on the floor. A desk was beside it, laptop closed, a mountain of books that didn’t all look like they were about schoolwork. There were too many about law. A wardrobe with one door broken off its hinges, and clothing hanging neatly inside.'

#### Augus and Ash's dorm room

Augus and Ash had a twin dorm room. There was a desk between the two beds, and the room smelled 'faintly of body odour and old laundry, and what must be the deoderant that Ash wore, because Gwyn knew he'd never smelled it on Augus.' Gwyn noted that Ash's bed was covered in candy wrappers, while Augus' bed was spartan. The room was small.

#### Bride, Hildegaard and Morrisson

The law firm Augus worked at potentially as an unpaid intern, though he seemingly had some form of pay. 'They worked him to the bone. His managers were nice enough, for assholes in a top legal firm who wanted a pretty intern they didn’t have to pay. He’d get one of the partners on sexual harassment, except for that whole top legal firm issue. They’d probably be proud of him for the whole fraud and identity fraud thing. They weren’t the kinds of lawyers that defended the good guys.' Augus worked in 'a side office that didn't have a desk in it.' Augus used the money he earned from the job to buy other things the Murdock scholarship didn't get him and Ash.

Augus referred to his law firm as 'Bride, Hildegaard and Morrisson' twice, 'Sethsmith and Hougham' once, and 'McAllister, Bride and Zhou' once, so the firm is referred to as 'Bride, Hildegaard and Morrison' for this entry.

#### Efnisien's hospital room

Efnisien got a room to himself at the hospital, likely because of his family's wealth. The room was large, 'and the gurney up against the wall looked small by comparison. Efnisien looked even smaller, tucked underneath thin white blankets and hooked up to two different intravenous lines. His hair was unkempt and he was asleep, shadows beneath his eyes. There was a plastic jug of water on the hospital tray that could be wheeled over his bed, and a glass, and that was it. No books, no flowers, no notepads or get well cards, nothing. . . . There was a single chair and [Gwyn] got it and brought it round so that he could sit facing Efnisien, by his side.'

#### Gwyn's house

After the settlement with his parents, Gwyn bought a house of his own, to replace the safehouse he rented from Mikkel. 'Gwyn’s new house was near a nature reserve, and it was modest in size, but very well made. It didn’t scream rich, but Augus knew it was one of the nicest on the street. Better yet, the windows had double glazing and the insulation was incredible', giving it excellent soundproofing. He had a queen-size bed with a sturdy headboard and footboard.

#### Hillview

Hillview was a 'residential treatment facility. It was a private facility, designed for ‘emotionally disturbed young citizens’ and the pictures looked nice enough, but it was still – judging by its lengthy description of the available top notch security – a place designed to keep Efnisien from leaving once he was there.'

#### Lija's house

Lija's home was open plan, with two floors. 'Gulvi’s room had a double bed with a quilt on it covered in different medieval sword blueprints. . . . Heavy metal and punk posters were tacked to the wall. But it was painted in white and pink, the carpet was a plush white, the curtains were soft pastels.'

The detached flat at the back of Lija's house was pretty large, with two bedrooms, wooden flooring, 'nice wallpaper, a ceiling with no mould stains, it even had furniture. . . . Even the view from the windows was nice, it looked out into gardens that were clearly maintained by a gardener, and about twenty steps away, the back of the Vajat household complete with its lap pool.' It had a glass sliding door.

#### Mikkel's safehouse

Mikkel had safehouses for clients in need. The mortgage was paid, though Mikkel took rent for it. The safehouse Gwyn used 'was a townhouse sandwiched between twenty other identical townhouses that all had pale grey plaster and dark grey windowsills' with a 'plain dark grey door that had the number 22 on it, the second 2 slightly crooked.' The lounge had a small couch. Inside the door and down 'a narrow corridor that had two rooms coming off it - a tiny lounge with a small television, a kitchen that had a laundry attached, with a small four-seater table that Augus sat at, looking around curiously. The linoleum was a dove blue-grey pattern, and old. It was curling up where it met the appliances. But there was a fridge, a microwave, an oven.' Up the carpeted stairs, with 'wallpaper that was yellowed, faded, torn in patches' was a more bracing second floor. 'One bedroom was clearly designed for children, with old second-hand toys inside of it and thin linens, folded blankets at the foot of each bed, thumbed books stacked on a shared cabinet. It was clearly a transitional home for people escaping domestic violence, and a home that needed to have room for children, because they were so often involved.' There was also a 'master bedroom, which was Gwyn's room. A backpack rested on the bed, along with some clothing . . . and a wallet and keys. A folder of paperwork.' Gwyn's room also had a 'cheap plastic chair pushed into the cheap melamine table by the wall', as well as an adjoining bathroom. The window in the room was double-glazed and showed a streetview, and the safehouse was soundproofed.

#### Murdock Academy of Excellence ("Murdock" or "Murdock High")

The An-Fnwy family had 'their names on two of the buildings in the school', due to the substantial amount of money they donated. There was also a 'small garden alcove at one of the two heavily graffitied tables' where students sometimes eat lunch, though the graffitied tables were commandeered by Augus, Ash, Gulvi, and Kayla. Away from the alcove was a 'corridor leading to the home economics rooms which were gated at lunch', though Augus had the key. One of the empty classrooms near the gate was 'filled with twenty makeshift kitchen benches, complete with state-of-the-art ovens and sinks' and the windows had blinds. There was also a 'door that led to the teacher’s side room'. It also had a library and quadrangles.

Most students went home for the weekend, so campus was usually deserted at those times.

Mr. Prince had a home on campus, as all Head of Houses were required to live on campus. Mr. Prince's home had steps leading up to a black wooden door. Inside was a 'room that was some combination of living room and office. Mismatched, full bookshelves lined the walls, so that the couches had to be in the middle of the room, along with too many mismatched wooden and metal coffee tables. There were so many rugs on the wooden floor that they lay over each other. Shoved into a corner was a glass cabinet filled with Olympic gold and silver medals, as well as trophies and medals from the World Championships of Fencing, the Federation Internationale D’escrime Fencing Grand Prix, and other organisations Augus didn’t recognise.'

Mr. Prince's office contained a desk that was bare but for Mikkel's possessions when Gwyn visited it to see Mikkel the first time.

Albion's office had dull wooden doors, a desk, and a foyer. Fenwrel kicked him out of it to meet with Augus, which greatly annoyed Albion.

#### The Royal Show

A local carnival that Ash suggested he, Gulvi, Kayla, Augus, and Gwyn attend. At night, discordant, 'jangling music from different stalls and rides drifted across the oval, and the Ferris wheel turned slowly, glowing with lights that only got brighter as the sky dimmed.' Ash and Augus ran around the show often when they were younger. There was an 'agricultural Hall of Fame' with 'a series of pictures of shaggy, red highland cows wearing showy blue ribbons'.

While at the Royal Show, Gwyn said that Augus was like a black Friesian. Ash was interested in adopting a kelpie because of the sheepdog demonstrations.

#### Wentworth Military Academy

A Christian military school that served as 'a smokescreen for conversion therapy.' Lludd planned to send Gwyn there after Augus assaulted him and Gwyn finished out his semester at Murdock.

## Quotations

* Gwyn to Augus: 'And I suppose that’s why you’re Prefect and on track to get into one of the top four universities, while people like me struggle with things like assonance?'
* Kayla: 'Augus can’t make friends without blackmailing them, so probably that.'
* Gwyn: 'God, he was so pathetic that Augus’ insincere disdain would still make him light up inside just because the words sounded nice. Sometimes he thought the only reason he did wrestling was because the coach threw him a kind word every now and then. Maybe he’d quit if someone else did it once in a while.'
* Augus to Ash: 'What is he going to do?’ Augus said, rolling his eyes. ‘Kill me? At least then I wouldn’t have to worry about exams.'
* 'But it’s moot,’ Gwyn said. ‘Isn’t it, Augus? You know why. You don’t want a relationship. You hate it all, remember?'
* Augus: 'He wanted to open his mouth and say ‘you’re not worth it,’ but knowing that Gwyn probably heard some version of that from his parents, he couldn’t do it.'
* Gwyn: 'Yes. I’m tired. But I also hate my parents and would like them to die in a fire, so. Here I am. This is…a situation I made myself. I knew it was coming.'
* Efnisien to Gwyn: 'You’re losing weight and everyone can tell. You’re not going to make your weight grade when you front up for school. What are you even going to do? We could go out and get something, if you want. I can’t poison it if I’m right there when you order it.'
* Efnisien to Gwyn: 'Do you think I’d be this bad if I didn’t have such a role-model for how to be a total, sinister asshole? I don’t know. I think about that sometimes. . . . I wonder how I’d be in another family . . . Don’t you wonder that? I wonder how I’d be in a family that didn’t teach you how to sweep your mistakes and evil impulses under the rug. Or teach you how to do them in shadowy, private places so that you could still do them, and be safe. People who would teach you how to be like…moral instead.'
* Augus to Gwyn: '*Once upon a time, there was a wrestler called Gwyn…Nerdle* [muffled snickering]*. I used to make up bedtime stories for Ash when he was younger and I always gave us the dumbest fucking names. He was Ash Gloopton. And I was – god, should I tell you? Okay, I’ll tell you. I was Augus A-choo Bless You, because it always made Ash laugh. Sometimes when I say he’ll be the death of me, I worry it might be true. Like. How long do I do everything for him? He’s my responsibility, so maybe forever, right?*'
* Augus to Gwyn about Ash: 'I actually love him . . . but you can’t tell them that at their age because it will go to their heads or something. I don’t know. I can’t parent a teenager, I am a teenager. We’re both going to need therapy and I have to get rich enough for it'.
* Mikkel to Gwyn: 'If your parents know a firefighter that will burn a house down, I know the guy who'll burn the firefighter down.'
* Gwyn: 'It was what everyone seemed to think. That Gwyn didn't really want to leave. Even Mikkel had circled around on that like fifteen times, in different ways, but Gwyn could tell every single time it came up, and it made him angrier every time. He folded his arms in his lap and said nothing, annoyed to find himself in the position of having to defend himself once more. Maybe he was afraid of leaving. Maybe he was pretty sure it wouldn't work. But that didn't mean he didn't want to leave.'
* To Gwyn: 'My life isn’t all about you,’ Augus said.'
* Gwyn to Augus: 'I just think you’re making a big deal out of something that isn’t really a big deal.'
* Gwyn to Mikkel, about Augus: 'I’m not leaving him until he leaves me.'
* Lija on Ash, to Gulvi: 'I think I’m going to invite him to your twenty first birthday,’ Mrs. Vajat said soberly. ‘Because if anyone is going to give an appropriately embarrassing speech in front of all of your friends and family, I think it will be him.'
* Efnisien on Gwyn, to Augus: 'I love him . . . And he loves us . . . He won’t do this to us. He’s being made to do it, by feral, worthless fucking ingrates like you.'
* Lija: 'You’re allowed into the house,’ she said, relentlessly gentle. Augus was wiping at his cheeks and hating everything. ‘If you have nightmares again, you can wake me up if I’m here.'
* Gwyn on Augus' hair: 'He’d worn his hair up today, in a pretty style that Gwyn didn’t know the name of. He missed it when it was down. Whenever Augus wore it down, all Gwyn wanted to do was run his hands through it, caress it and watch it fall black and glossy through his fingers.'
* Gwyn: 'Augus looked at him steadily, with his pretty braid, his eyes that made Gwyn want to learn more words for the colour green.'
* Gwyn: 'It wasn’t often that he felt his brokenness. But in that moment, it twanged through him, the sting of broken guitar strings wounding him inside. As he swallowed, he opened his eyes and stared somewhere above Augus’ head, wishing the ground would open up beneath him.'
* Gwyn to Augus: 'You need like a hundred years of therapy. You need to *live* with a therapist.'
* 'When Gwyn moved his hand, Augus bit his lower lip while grinning, and Gwyn realised that Augus’ freckles looked perfect and his eyes were still bright and he looked…happy.'
* Gwyn: ‘Lumpy Augus. . . . Augus is lumpy and cute . . . Your soul is lumpy with contradictions.’
* Augus: 'Maybe I don’t get it either, but there’s a thing about me. If I decide someone’s mine, that’s it, they are. It doesn’t matter if Ash drives me batshit sometimes, or if you do, but I’m here for the long haul. I don’t know how long that is, but I know it’s not so cheap that I’ll just fuck off when it gets hard.'
* To Ash: 'But you got this job on your own,’ Gwyn said. ‘And then you got me a job. And now we’re working and it’s fine? So how are you useless? . . . Look,’ Gwyn said finally, his cheeks red. ‘He’s your brother, and I know that family is different but… Don’t let him stay blind to who you are. I think you can achieve a lot.'
* To Gwyn: *'I was never like them,* Efnisien sent. *I was never as bad as they are. So why’re you doing this to me?*'
* To Ash: '*I’m so proud of you,* Augus wrote, *it drives me nuts. A nicer person would be happier about it, but you know my blood is filled with liquid spite. I don’t want any other brother except you, asshole.*'
* Augus: 'He tried, frantically, to think how the videos and documents Efnisien had given them would ruin the case, but he couldn’t think of a single way. It was the clincher in a case where Gwyn had no evidence against his mother. It proved that the ap Nudd family was wholly toxic and abusive to their single son, with demonstrable evidence more reliable than witness testimony. Efnisien must have found the time to get a hard drive, find the files, compile them all and then give them to Augus. He’d been drinking heavily, he’d looked…distraught. Augus squeezed Gwyn’s hands, closed his eyes and let the words free, even though they hurt to say. ‘Maybe he loves you after all,’ Augus said.'
* Mikkel to Augus: 'I’m telling you adult to adult, man to man, however you want to see it – there’s no shame in taking some different paths in life, or just trying them out for a little while, and seeing where they take you. You were a victim, and then an adult. You’ve never had a childhood, and your adolescence has been filled with the kind of shit that practically mandates therapy for a good long while. You’re great at surviving. But you have to learn how to have a life. And this is selfish of me, but you have to learn, because Gwyn needs to learn too.'
* To Augus: 'I want you to stay here with all of us,’ Lija said. ‘And I want you to move out only when you really want to leave us. Not when you can afford it. Not when you think you should. But when you want to. It’s really no bother – no bother – having you both here. You’re both self-sufficient, you do your own chores and offer to help with ours, and I like you both. It’s selfish of me, but you feel like my children already. You’ve both been so grounding for Gulvi, in your own ways, even if you haven’t realised it. My kids love you. I think that speaks for itself.'
* Mikkel to Gwyn: 'Look, I didn’t save your life, and Augus didn’t save your life, and Fenwrel didn’t save your life. We helped. But this was you. . . . Don’t waste it . . . You worked hard for a chance to actually like, live your life. Learn how to eat a pizza or something.'
* 'First you get me a place to live,’ Ash said mournfully, ‘and then you kick me out of my own home. Life is really hard sometimes.'
* 'What’s the point?’ Efnisien said. ‘There’s no point. What do you think my choices are, Gwyn? There’s no cash settlement for me. I can’t go back to them. Penny never gave a shit. You think I don’t know what my life would be like? Imagine, because I’ve had a lot of time to think about it. Imagine me deciding to feel bad about everything I’ve ever done, and then imagine what kind of life I’ll have. Because I’m not brave enough to live in some fucked up eighteen-hundreds-style purgatory. I’d rather die. There’s no one who wants me, and there’s no one who will. Which is exactly what someone like me deserves, isn’t it? There’s nothing waiting for me but jail-time.'
* To Gwyn, on Efnisien and Gwyn: 'I’m so sorry,’ Augus said. ‘I’m sorry for what she did to you both.'
* Gwyn to Augus: 'I don’t remember when I knew I loved you, because it’s happened over and over again. No one told me it would be like that. I can’t remember the first time, which is probably bad, but I like that it keeps happening.'
* Augus: 'Maybe he was a fool, he’d been falling in love with Gwyn over and over again for so long, he couldn’t remember the first time he’d fallen in love with him either.'

## Trivia

* The House of Doves' uniform contained the Murdock 'school colours of black and blue, along with the highlights of the pale grey they were known for.'
* The An-Fnwy family owns a hospital wing at the hospital where Lija works, or possibly just bought or sponsored one.
* Gwyn texted Augus with abbreviated words, seemingly to piss off Augus, as he can text in complete sentences as needed.
* Gwyn had a car which he picked up Augus in once.
* Crielle and Lludd were seemingly Christian. 'In a Leviticus kind of way.'
* When Ash and Augus were younger, they'd share a bed for comfort, particularly when they were stressed.
* Augus knows a bit about herbs, partially because he was fostered at 'a house once where the woman was all about gardening and herbs. He’d liked it. He’d liked her. It was all her boyfriends that were the problem.' One of the other foster homes Augus stayed in was rich, and Augus felt uncomfortable there because he felt like he could never get clean. Augus had a growing collection of plants at home by the end of the story, including the maidenhair fern, 'a finicky Bromeliad, an Anthurium, a Cutlass Aglaoenema and a large Philodendron that Ash had – in a fit of inspiration – called ‘Phil the Green Guy.'
* Gwyn's MRI showed repeated skull fractures and chronic malnourishment. Although Gwyn started going to a gym after he moved into his new home at the end of the story, he had to stop running because 'the high impact sport was too hard on his many poorly healed fractures.'
* Augus called Efnisien 'Effles'.
* Augus hadn't planned to help Ash when they were in the same foster home, even when he accidentally discovered that Ash was starving himself, but 'Ash kept coming to him, bringing him things, trying to make him happy'.
* Augus and Ash shared a car, though Ash drove it for most of the story. Augus also called it Ash's car.
* When Efnisien sobbed after being beaten by Gwyn, Augus noted that 'he didn’t think Efnisien was crying from the pain of his nose', and despite having incredibly mixed feelings about Efnisien, Augus later admitted he was mad at Crielle for what she'd done to *both* Gwyn *and* Efnisien.
* Ash noted that Mr. Prince took a gap year for fencing.
* For Christmas, Ash gave everyone spending the day at the Lija household diamante keychains, Gulvi made playlists, and Lija gave:
	+ Kayla: 'a large hardback book on fashion design'
	+ Ash: a book 'on automata and mechanical toys', since Ash was interested 'in old robots and metal toys'
	+ Gwyn: 'a large hardback about the world’s calligraphy and writing styles.'
	+ Augus: 'a hardback on botanical wonders' and a 'maidenhair fern in [a] ceramic, white pot'
* This AU was based on *The Day the Ferris Wheel Came Down*, which was produced for Poigdom Week 1.
