Your gateway to endless inspiration
They’re all still awful people but they realize they get more out of working together rather than against. They don’t quite like each other but theirs no bad blood. They all hang out and be lil bitches together.
They even let Hunter hang out with them due to the fact that he’s so good at acting like an adult (as sad as that is), a ‘bratty’ one but he does know a lot.
Rather then just brushing Hunter off as some brat like in canon, they see the potential in him and think ‘yeah we can make this kid into an absolute beast’
It’s mainly to have him do their dirty or difficult work for them but they also grow fond of him.
Idk I just want to give Hunter a dysfunctional family out of the Coven heads
Extra:
Hettie teaches Hunter anatomy so he knows where to hit his enemies and healing spells to heal himself and scouts he works with.
Darius teaches Hunter how to sew like in canon but sooner and teaches him all sorts of abomination magic like the translocation.
Vitimir teaches him all sorts of potions and how to incorporate them in fighting. He also teaches Hunter potion tolerance and how to resist certain ones and mithridatism
Adrian teaches him some illusions and even acting skills so Hunter becomes a better liar.
Eberwolf brings him out to catch and train with beasts. They bring him all sorts of bugs and little critters. Hunter often goes on retrieval missions to bring Eber stuff for the beasts he keeps.
Terra let’s him hang out at the garden and green house and teaches him all sorts of Botany and plant magic. She likes info dumping on him.
The previous Bard and Riane teach him Bard magic. Hunter summons his own violin.
Orsan teaches oracle magic to him but mainly likes to teach Hunter mind games
Mason teaches Hunter construction magic and how to use to use it to fight and fix damage done after a fight.
Lilith though jealous and annoyed, still recommends him all sorts of book and in good moments they info dump on each other
A lot of theses skills I think Hunter would have in canon like the anatomy and potion thing but he had to learn those on his own. In this Au the Coven heads are actually bothered to teach him.
Due to these changes Hunter is more comfortable with doing all sorts of combo magic like how we see Lilith does in the shows. He also carries a belt of potions with him. Certain stuff in the show goes different as well since he does form a bond sooner with Darius and Adrian.
The coven heads aren’t aware he doesn’t have a bile sac they just think he has a weak one. They help him learn how to translate their spells into his staff spells.
They all still can be cruel to Hunter like Adrain’s and Darius cruel jabs at him or Terra giving him plants that can harm him (like tea that makes him hallucinate ). They still do some back stabbing but overall they are less worse then in canon.
Though any signs abuse from Belos they chalk up to being from missions or reckless.
I think this gives them some fun depth. Like yeah they are all messed up but they are messed up together.
(Sorry if any grammar issues )
