Bird momma deserves more love and I think the web series does her a bit dirty. More explanation in the ending.

Also this is based off of actual artwork from some guy's twitter , so here's the link to that : /DivaCyanide/status/1477475956998684672

With that outta the way , let's get this story started.


It had happened again.

Stella somberly thought to herself as she leaned over her shared bed with Stolas- can she even call it that anymore ? Their bed ? When he blatantly and freely sleeps with that imp in their goddamn bed. He couldn't even have the decency to do it in a motel or some other place. It just had to be in their fucking bed.

Her feathery hands grasped at the sheets that were stained with the...juices of her husband and his lover. She will need to have them changed later.

She briefly considers having the servants burn them.

But she knows that the unholy flames of hell can't burn away what has already been said and done. Lucifer knows how many times...

Stella knew long ago that there was no longing love between her and Stolas.

Their marriage was one of convenience and political alliance between their two families at the time. Nothing out of the ordinary for nobility of hell to do...

While she knew that neither she or Stolas were the 'soul mate' they were looking for...

She had at least hoped that they would be able to maintain that same essence of decorum and mutual understanding with each other ? Perhaps even a somewhat closer relationship with the birth of their first and only daughter ?

Whatever decorum and peace that had existed between had long since went dry.

She ignores the torn up curtains and broken lamp nearby as she crouches on the floor visibly shaking with grief and worry.

Does Stolas not care at all ? For their family ? Their reputation ? Their daughter ?

Does he not think that his little affair with the imp has become common knowledge among the other nobility. That the one time that imp crashed in on her having tea with some other nobles and trying to secure an alliance and all he could say was a comedic " Sorry I fucked your husband "

As if that wasn't humiliating enough...some of the nobility have even started mocking or taking underlying jabs at her. Hitting where it hurts the most right now.

And what of Octavia ? Does Stolas not think that his at this point very public affair won't cause a big enough scandal that it will hurt Octavia in the long run ? That the nobility won't take the chance to hurt her where it hurts the closest to home ?

But Stella knows it in her bones that she's hardly blameless in this . She hasn't done anything to patch things up with Stolas...not that he's making any sort of effort to do anything though but she always let her emotions get the better of her and lash out.

She even went as far as hiring a ...hitman to try and kill him.

Maybe she should just stop this right now while she's still ahead. End this little charade of being a happy family and cut her losses while she still has a chance.

But how will that affect Octavia ? Stella knew that her daughter had been distressed these past few months due to her and Stolas's constant fights... how will a full on divorce affect her ?

Stella shakes in sadness as the thought of putting her daughter through even more suffering than she already is now covering her face with her hands to keep from crying.

She was so distracted that she didn't even notice the sound of someone's footsteps...not until somebody placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. Likely Stolas coming back and seeing her like this , but she didn't want his pity.

She smacked the hand away and turned to its owner...who she didn't even realize was her own daughter.

Octavia withdrew her hand with a surprised look on her face and Stella's eyes widened at seeing her.

Had she been here the whole time ? Did she watch their fight from the shadows while the two of them were too busy arguing to notice ?

Stella felt her hand reach out for her daughter...before closing it as Octavia looking from her to the ground.

Stella withdrew her hand...as if out of fear for hurting her daughter more than she already has.

She was about to open her mouth to tell Octavia to leave her...

She was caught off guard when Octavia threw herself at her...and hugged her closely.

Stella eyes widened as she realized what was happening...before she felt her eyes water and she hugged her daughter back.

Octavia didn't say anything as her own eyes let out tears that had been held in for so long like her mother.

" O-Octavia...I-I'm sorry..." Stella said through the sobs.

Stella wasn't sure what she was apologizing to her daughter for...the list was long.

But she hoped that they would be alright at least.


Okay...if it wasn't immediately obvious through this fic I do not have a very favorable view of Stolas and how the show treats his affair with the Blitz. Most of the time its treated for comedic effect...yet in the second episode , we can see that its clearly having an effect on his home life ...yet in episode 5 we can see him still continuing his affair with Blitz.

In fact , aside from episode 2 , we never actually see Stolas try to handle or properly deal with the shitshow his affair his causing and putting his wife and daughter in hot water.

Personally I feel like the web series does Stella too little credit and makes her look worse just to justify Stolas's relationship with Blitz. In the show , they basically made her the stereotypical pissed wife that her husband is cheating on her...but they did in the most unsympathetic way possible where they imply that it was an arranged marriage and there was no actual love between them and doubled down on it by making Stella a b*tch who would hire a hitman to kill her husband .

Instead of creating an actual morally ambiguous situation where neither party is correct or wrong per say , they just invented an easy way to ship Stolas and Blitz without having to worry about those pesky issues.

Despite the fact that Stolas's affair does in fact put his wife and child in a difficult position. Because its not a simple matter of 'My Husband is cheating on me' because they are nobility and Stolas cheating on her with Blitz ( In their own bed no less ) is an insult to her honor , its an insult to her family and you can bet that the other nobles will snicker and use this to question not just Stella's but Octavia's integrity as well for god knows how long to come.

Now to be clear ,I don't hate Stolas ( I actually like him ) ...but I do hate how the show treats the situation with the Goetia family as a whole and I don't think it gives both Stella and Octavia the love they deserve and need.

Anyway that's enough ranting from me , hope you all enjoyed and I might make a part 2 to this if I feel like it.

For now, peace.
