Summary
Camila always dreamed of having a big family. She came from one, Manny came from one; they were in agreement that they wanted a whole bunch of kids.
Things didn’t work out that way. Manny got sick and that became the focus of Camila’s life. She tried to shield Luz as best she could, but Luz was growing up, growing wiser every day; she could see the dawning horror in her daughter’s eyes, the knowledge that Manny wasn’t getting better.
Manny died holding her hand and their dreams of a huge, loud family died with him.
Fate had other plans.
(Vee was hers in a heartbeat. Camila had a soft spot for Hunter, but she didn’t begin to think of him as hers until the end of the kids’ second month with her.)
*
Camila's always dreamed of a big family; she just didn't expect to become a mother of three in such an unconventional way.
Or, a study in Camila Noceda and her growing bond with Hunter.

Bookmarker's Notes
Once upon a time, Camila had dreamed of having a big family. For a long time, it felt like fate had other ideas, snatching Manny away from her. She should have known better; families came in all different shapes and sizes. She saw that every day.
A human daughter, a basilisk daughter and a Grimwalker son. An entire group of magical friends of her own. (“Welcome to the Hagsquad,” Eda laughed and Lilith groaned.) It wasn’t the most conventional of families but it was filled with love, so much love, as Camila always dreamed.

Summary
Hunter has a lot of worries, but he also has good friends.
***
“I had a nightmare,” Hunter says at last.
Camila nods. “Those are hard.”
“And, says Hunter, drawing up his courage. “I’ve been worried. About. Some things.”
Camila takes a sip of tea, looking completely at ease, like there was nothing more she’d rather be doing at this time of night than listen to him. “Like what?”
“What if I wasn’t a witch? What if I was something else? Something worse?”

“They’re close enough,” says Hunter.
“You’re not the same person as him, though. You’re your own person.”
“No I’m not.”
Vee looks at him blankly. “Yes you are,” she says slowly. “You are your own person, Hunter. You’re not Belos’ brother.”
“I’m literally his clone.”
Vee shrugs. “I can look like anyone. Doesn’t make me any less me.”

"Nothing, nevermind," Gus shook his head. "You're… you're really going to sew it up?"
"It needs four stitches," Hunter nodded.
"You… you can tell just by looking at it how many it needs?"
Hunter nodded.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a small voice.
"It's deep and it's in a high stress area," Hunter said shortly. "I'm sorry. I have to close it."
Gus's heart leapt into his throat. I have to close it. "Are you sure?" His voice was shaking.
"I know the difference between a wound that needs stitches and one that you can just bandage," Hunter said apologetically. He dug around in the first aid kit. "Alright. Let me see it."
Gus pulled the washcloth away and then quickly turned his head sideways so that he couldn't see it. His stomach rolled dangerously, but Hunter kept his expression intent and focused. He opened a bottle of rubbing alcohol and wet a cotton ball.
"This will hurt," Hunter told him, "But it will keep it clean. It's important."

Summary
Camila was not a stupid woman. She was kind, and she was gentle, and she was loving, but none of those things made her naive, or blind to the evils of the world she lived in. She was a mother, and a mother's job is to protect her children. Even the temporary ones.

She was startled, then, to open the basement door and see a pair of pink eyes swivel around and snap to her in the darkness, catching the light in a way that turned his pupils red like a photograph. She found herself unsettled by it.
"Hunter?" she asked uneasily.
"Sorry, Mrs. Noceda," he whispered, ducking his head in a short bow. She could see behind him that the washer was already running. "If you leave the basket I will run it again when it finishes."
Camila frowned and walked down the stairs, casting a glance toward the couch where Gus was still sleeping soundly. She set the basket down on top of the dryer.
"What are you washing?" she asked.

"Hunter?" she mumbled.
"Yeah," he nodded, "Just me. No Belos. No Golden Guard. No cages."
"Yeah," she said hoarsely. "Just you."
"Nobody's taking you back there," he repeated, "Nobody is putting you in a cage again. I promise."
"You'd kill them if they tried."
"I'd kill them if they tried."
"I know."

"I do know you're not the same guy who watched from outside the cages."
Now it was his turn to raise an eyebrow.
"When you first got here I was scared of you, I guess I still am, but I've seen how you are around the others, around Camila, and even around me." She admitted. "Of course, I still remember what you did in the past, but that doesn't mean that you haven't changed and grown, I can appreciate that."
"I stood there and did nothing while they hurt you and locked you away in a cage." He stated. Maybe he was being too blunt, but he needed her to understand.
"I wasn't the only one in a cage. We both were, yours just wasn't as obvious as mine."
That's what it was, wasn't it? The fear that was so powerful that it controlled him to do anything for Belos. There was nobody in his corner and everyone just watched from afar as he was backed further into that corner with no other options.

She plopped down in his desk chair and spun it around, shapeshifting as she did and flopping her tail over one armrest. He sat down on the edge of his bed.
"Okay," she said finally. "Tell me about it."
"Willow asked me out," he said quietly, guiltily, stomach churning in distress.
She raised both eyebrows in surprise. "Well that's good, isn't it? You like her!"
"I know!" he groaned, flopping back and covering his face. "I do! I really, really like her!"
"Well, then what's the problem?" Vee asked. "Did you get embarrassed and run away or something?"
"No," he mumbled. "I said no."
"...What."

Summary
"Did Hunter fall asleep?" Amity asked in surprise.
The rest of the kids looked up and followed her gaze to the couch where, indeed, Hunter had fallen asleep. A documentary on the witch trials continued to play quietly on screen, while the rest of them sat around the kitchen table playing cards. Hunter hadn't known the rules, and hadn't felt like learning.
"I can't believe it," Gus said in wonder, "He tosses and turns all night. I've never seen him fall asleep by accident before."

"We're here," he announced.
Vee took a step back and looked up at the double doors they were standing in front of. She swallowed thickly.
"This is your last chance," her brother said in a heavy voice. "We can still turn around, right now, and go home. No judgement."

Set within the timeline of the Stranger Tides AU Fiction.
The Hexsquad have been stuck in the Human Realm for a while now, and have begun to bond over the pop-culture and music of Camila and Luz's world.
Hunter and Willow have just recently begun to slowly explore the possibility that their friendship is advancing.
When Hunter wakes up from a Nightmare after accidentally falling asleep on the Noceda's couch next to Willow he is surprised to find her crying in her sleep.
