I’ve been writing a lot more to avoid real life lately, so just a reminder in case anyone wants to read all my Huntlow oneshots in one place they’re on AO3 as well as here!

I’m in the middle of writing literally four different Owl a house fanfics all surrounding Huntlow I have no self control who am I gonna be when this show is over

Fighting Feelings

This was literally going to be a short head canon and then whoops it became a oneshot sorry. Also the title sucks Also no I do not ship Willow and Boscha but I like the HC that Hunter thinks she bullies her to hide her crush because he thinks everyone has a little crush on Willow

“Gus, who is that talking to the Captain?” Hunter asked as he spotted Willow from across the field. He had recent starting coming to the Emerald Entrails practices every other day to help Willow run drills. He also arrived promptly at the same time, early enough to help Willow set up and have a few minutes with just her. And he’d be lying if he said his heart didn’t ache at the sight of Willlow speaking with someone else during the time he had set aside for just them.

But it wasn’t official ‘just them’ time, so he had to try and disguise the twinge of jealousy trying to take root so it wasn’t so obvious.

“Ugh, that’s Boscha,” said Gus as though the name left a bad taste in his mouth. “Of course she’s here.”

“Is she joining the flyer derby team?”

“No way,” said Gus, sucking his teeth. “She’s on the grudgby team but she’s always finding a reason to get to Willow.”

“Really?” Said Hunter, now squinting and picking up on their body language. The Boscha girl was smirking, acting boastful as he often did as the Golden Guard. Willow seemed to tolerate it, but clearly wanted to leave. When she tried to , Boscha followed and continued to talk even though Willow gave her no response. Why had this girl gone out of her way to come all the way here to try and get under Willow’s skin?

“Yeah, Willow has gotten over it but Boscha needs to take a hint,” groaned Gus.

“Should I go... say something?”

The Promotion

An Owl House AU where everything is the same except Hunter and Willow are secretly dating. This gonna be a two shot because I’m impatient and don’t wanna start a new multi chapter fic but also I didn’t want it to be too long ALSO ITS VERY CHEESY

“Tired, little prince?” Darius noted with a smirk as he walked up beside Hunter who could not seem to stop yawning.

“No, no not at all,” Hunter lied, attempting to stifle another yawn before it could make its way out. Knowing he didn’t have to hide it from Darius, he pulled out his scroll and smiled at the most recent message. 

“Up late messaging your little girlfriend again I take it?” Continued Darius, peeking over Hunter’s shoulder to see a long string of messages with Willow, her photo smiling and bright. He took delight in the red tint Hunter’s face adopted as he tried to hide his scroll from sight. . 

“G-girlfriend?” Hunter repeated, the word echoing down the empty hallway. Luckily, they were the only two here. “I wasn’t, I mean she’s not… I mean we’re not…!”

As muddled as Hunter’s understanding of romance was, he knew it existed. He had no great examples in his life to look to, but when he would walk around the market he’d see couples holding hands, laughing, and kissing and he knew the nature of their relationship was something more. He knew that having a romantic relationship meant that the other person was important to you, that you kept them around because they brought forth a different feeling in you. 

He had thought once or twice that he felt this way about Willow, the way he’d get excited to see a message from her or the way the idea of her distracted him. How he wanted to be close to her but how being close to her made him nervous. Such contradictions could only exist in the frivolous mindset of a person in love. But he had nothing else to compare it to, so he had to assume it was because he wasn’t meant to have it. So he had to try and ignore it until it went away, but he couldn’t ignore Willow. 

“Call me old fashioned, but in my experience teenagers typically don’t  turn this shade of red when asked about someone who is ‘just a friend.’” said Darius, effortlessly casual. “Not that anyone would ever call me old.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about Darius!” Hunter lied, forcing a nervous chuckle. “The Captain is just good at her job! She checks in with all the team members!”

“Uh-Huh,” said Darius, stroking his goatee. “Well, given the fact that you aren’t technically a member of her team any longer, there must be another reason she is giving you such special attention, hmmm?”

When is a oneshot too long to be a oneshot asking for a friend

No offense but I hate it here

The Origin of Orchids

In which Hunter almost ruins the confession. Almost. It’s very similar to another story I’ve already written but don’t think about that please

“...but it’s extremely hard to grow and I can’t seem to summon it again no matter how hard I try,” continued Willow as she and Hunter walked back to the Noceda house after picking up some groceries. Willow was sharing her frustration about being unable to recreate an intricate plant she had accidentally grown a few days prior.

“Maybe it’s the weather? Don’t some plants grow seasonally?” offered Hunter.

“I did consider that, but the weather has been constant,” replied Willow, happy to be able to talk about plant magic and have someone respond. The others let her ramble and think aloud, but they didn’t have much else to contribute besides encouragement. “I’ve tried recreating the time of day, the location, everything! I’m really glad I was able to do it. I just wish I knew how!”

“What about the moon cycle?” said Hunter to which Willow raised an eyebrow. “Hear me out! The moon controls the tides and plants need water… is that… anything?”

“It’s certainly… something,” Willow chuckled. “I’m sorry to bother you with this, but you were the only one there when I did it! Otherise, I’d probably think I had imagined the whole thing!’

“You could never bother me,” said Hunter, happy to help. He adjusted his grip on the shopping back as he thought back to the day. “It’s the first plant found only in the human realm that you’ve been able to summon, that’s a big deal! You said you tried recreating the time and place you summoned the orchid but do you remember everything about that day?”

Guess what anime I just started

I don’t do well with angst or suspense so here
