MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I BRING TO YOU, A Q&A LONG OVER DUE, BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER IN MY BOOKS!

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY MY PAIN AND SUFFERING

---

Katerina: *sips tea* Well, look who finally showed up.

Tippy: Kat—

Katerina: Eh! Eh! Eh! That’s Katerina to you. You lost the right to call me that when you left me here for a whole fucking year! *throws teacup at Tippy*

Tippy: *ducks and raises hands in surrender* I got busy!!!!

Katerina: You’re always ‘busy’! First, you’re too busy to write my book—

Tippy: Actually, I did restart it several times—

Katerina: Then you’re too busy to finish it—

Tippy: Well, there were other projects, and the Alpha Mates rewrite to publish—

Katerina: And now you’re too busy to give me a Q&A?! You gave my son one, you gave him a whole book—

Tippy: Well, the people yearn for Nikola and technically, I’m still writing his book even though it’s been two years so I’m starting to think it’s something to do with you Amorenia people.

Katerina: *blinks in death glare*

Tippy: Alright! I am sorry. I am very sorry Katerina. I plan to continue writing Linked when I finish the AM rewrite, and that only has a handful of chapters left. Okay? I am sorry, so why don’t we get into things with the questions, hm?

Katerina: *throws another teacup*

Tippy: Alrighty! Question number one! Make this author give us your book on Wattpad again please! WE NEED IT!!!… I walked right into that one

Katerina: I’m trying, but don’t worry. I plan to hex her if she doesn’t rekindle my book next year.

Tippy: I’d love to see you try, bitch. MOVING ON! How does it feel to be so beautiful and to have such a beautiful family to go along with that? Okay, next time you guys want to suck her fucking clit, just say so.

Katinerina: *cackles in brilliance* It feels amazing! I mean, I would’ve loved to have such luck in other areas, but I suppose beggars can not be choosers. 

Tippy: Marry me please. It’s honestly sad to see what my readers become for you

Katerina: I’m already taken, dear, but maybe in another life.

Tippy: Hello my love, my Goddess, my everything. You’re a god right?!?!? Also, what would it take to suck you? Jesus Ch—

Katerina: I’m afraid I only like one pair of lips on me. Sorry.

Tippy: Speaking of Apollos, Who said I LOVE YOU first

Katerina: Next question.

Tippy: You haven’t answered the—

Katerina: *eyes burn purple* I SAID NEXT QUESTION

Tippy: I guess that answers that *cackles*. What do you love most about Apollos?

Katerina: That’s hard cause you’re asking me to just pick one thing, when all the little things about Apollos are why you fall in love with him. I love how attentive he is, to everyone. I love how fucking selfless he is. It’s annoying sometimes cause I think people will take advantage of him, but he doesn’t even think that way. He just gives. I love the father he is, and how much he loves our son. I love his smiles too, they’re nice… I guess.

Tippy: *blinks in disbelief*

Katerina: What?!

Tippy: You can say all of that, but you can’t tell us who said I love you first?

Katinerina: Be grateful for what you receive.

Tippy: Fucking psycho. Next up, Why did you guys decide to only have one child, as amazing as your one son is?

Katerina: Well, it wasn’t really a conscious decision. Apollos always wanted kids, I was more on the side of indifference. We didn’t try not to have kids, I just never got pregnant. I figured for a long time I just couldn’t have kids, you know, more shit from this universe that hates me. Then, one day, I was carrying our little storm, and I figured maybe the universe wasn’t so bad.

Tippy: AWWWW!!!!!!!!! IT HAS A HEART FOLKS!

Katerina: It???

Tippy: Do you want more kids in the future?

Katerina: I wouldn’t say I want them, but I wouldn’t say I’m opposed to them either. If another shows up, it shows up. Apollos, at least, would be happy, and I think Nikola would lose his mind.

Tippy: I think Nik would be an amazing big brother.

Katerina: That we can agree on.

Tippy: I guess we should keep the Nik train going. How old were you when you had Nik?

Katerina: *stares at Tippy*

Tippy: *stares at Kat*

Katerina: *stares at Tippy*

Tippy: Are you lost?

Katerina: Yes, actually. Your timeline is such a horrendous mess I don’t even know when I gave birth to my son. So you wanna inform the class?

Tippy: Not particularly but *checks timelines that superior human readers have made for me* You should’ve been 21-22 when you got pregnant I think. Damn, that’s young… maybe we can change that in the rewrites. 

Katerina: Nah, it’s fine, the younger I have him, the longer life I get to live when he leaves.

Tippy: You talk like you want him to leave when we all know better, which is such an amazing segway into my next question!

 Katerina: I hate you.

Tippy: How were you feeling when Nik left home? Did it make you sad? Did you cry?

Katerina: Next q—

Tippy: If you say next question, I’m bringing Apollos here to answer for himself.

Katerina: Fucking bitch.

Tippy: What was that?

Katerina: I was sad. I cried. The end.

Tippy: Come on, expand on that a little. Do it or Apollos will.

Katerina: I was very fucking sad. I wasn’t ready to let him go, to just give him up to the world when… when the world never did anything good for me. I was scared, but I knew I couldn’t hold him back. So yeah, I was sad and I cried. You happy?

Tippy: Very! Thank you! But I’ll throw you a little bone to get you happy again.

Katerina: I’m not a fucking mu—

Tippy: How does it feel to be the hottest and most powerful witch of all time?

Katerina: It feels fucking amazing. I mean, name another that could and ever has? I think you’ll find those accounts empty. I am the greatest that has and will ever live.

*audience screams from beyond the void in support, and Katerina rises in the air like a champion, arms spread, basking in it*

*Tippy rolls her eyes and preps her next questions*

 Tippy: Who is the most powerful witch according to you?

Katinera: This is a hard one. While I’m alive, definitely me— I can draw on my own energy sources, my mate, my pack, and even Nik, though I never would. If I’m off the table, then I’d say it’s between Nik and Jacob. Nik knows what to do with his magic and that gives him the lead, but Jacob *cackles* that little warlock and his mate– the real magical one– that’s his power bank and he’s got centuries worth of power in there.

Tippy: What about Mekhi?

Katerina: He’d be on the table if his family hadn’t scared him as much as they had. There’s always a part of him scared to reach for more and that holds him back. But if you put Wequie in danger, then I guess we’ll see how far he really can go.

Tippy: Interesting. Interesting. Can you see the future? Do you have visions like Malcolm does?

Katerina: Those types of spells for witches are never a good idea. You reach too far and dregs of the past, present and future can get their claws into you. Technically, if I tried, I probably could, but the price I’d pay wouldn’t be worth it.

Tippy: Did you ever find out who your father was?

Katerina: Unfortunately, yes.

Tippy: What happened to your parents? We’re gonna have to save that one for the book.

Katerina: Ah yes, the book you’ve been promising since 2019.

Tippy: I’M NOT JUST A WRITER! I HAVE BILLS TO PAY!!!

Katerina: Whatever. They’re both dead now, but in Linked they were—

Tippy: SHUSH! You know how I feel about spoilers. Favourite spell?

Katerina: There’s something about being able to lie down and sleep in the sky that does it for me every time.

Tippy: I envy you so much for that. You sleep a lot, Kat, have you ever had sleep paralysis?

Katerina: Once, and then I killed the demon so it wouldn’t try that shit again. 

Tippy: Wait, so there’s an actual sleep paralysis demon?!?

Katerina: You thought they just made that shit up.

Tippy: I mean yeah?

Katerina: …that’s sad.

Tippy: Lots of shit is sad, fuck off. You in school? 🤓🫵 

Katerina: Clearly not. 

Tippy: Idiot. And I’m not saying everyone who doesn’t get educated is an idiot, just you. 

Katerina: You know I can kill you in this world and the next, right?

Tippy: You know I can make your trauma worse, right? 

Katerina: Touche bitch… touche.

Tippy: Hey Kat! I wanna know, are you aware of your author’s existence?

Katerina: Yeah, and I’m not impressed that I was made by… that.

Tippy: We used to be friends! Remember those days! We were so good together.

Katerina: Yeah, I remember, and then you stopped writing my fucking book.

Tippy: I just want to get it right!!!!!

Katerina: *harumph*

Tippy: Fucking witches. *shuffles cards* How annoyed are you on a scale of 100% to 1000% I can answer this one for you—

Katerina: Nobody fucking asked you! I’m on 1000%! One thousand!!!!!

Tippy: Oh yeah, let’s turn it up then! How much do you love Aiden?

Katerina: Oh you sick piece of shit.

Tippy: Answer the fucking question, KAT!

Katerina: I’d rather swallow my own tongue.

Tippy: I was hoping you’d say that *summons Apollos*

Katerina: NOO!!!!!!

*mutes and cages Katerina and turns to the lovely, dashing, sexy Apollos who looks between us with a semi-concerned frown.

Tippy: Well hello there, Apollos. So lovely to see you again. It’s been too long.

Apollos: It really has. How’s our book doing?

Tippy: It’s.. uh, doing hahahaha. Anyway, first question. How much does Katerina love Aiden?

Apollos: Ha! Are you kidding me? That’s her brother, her platonic soul mate. I don’t think anybody gets her crazy like Aiden. They’re two peas in a pod. She’d die for him if it really came down to it.

*Katerina’s muffled screams grow louder*

Tippy: You’re not going to have fun when you go home tonight.

Apollos: *smiles and sinks back into his chair* I know how to handle her.

*Tippy fans self with the cards*

*audience does the same*

Tippy: While I have you here, why don’t you just stay and watch the rest of the show?

Apollos: I would love that.

Tippy: Great so, let’s just unwind Katerina *barely undoes the cage before Katerina lunges and claws Tippy’s eye out*

*Tippy reverses time*

*Tippy still has her eye*

Tippy: Alright, let’s try that again you PSYCHO BITCH! *allows her to speak* fucking animal! Now, answer this nicely.

Katerina: I’m going to kill you!

Tippy: And then who would write Linked?

Katerina: At this stage, it won’t make a difference whether you’re alive or dead!

Tippy: So mean. So very mean. NEXT QUESTION! When was the moment you knew you loved Apollos?

*Apollos turns with interest. Katerina screams bloody murder*

Tippy: It had to be around the time you guys were in that pixie village. For the audience, this is something that has not been written yet.

Apollos: Really?

Tippy: Katerina??

Katerina: I guess. 

Apollos: But nothing happened that day. We were looking for clues of your family lineage. We stopped in to eat, I bought you food and we went home.

Katerina: *turns pink*

Apollos: That was it?!?

Tippy: Well, not only that. You were a gentleman that day. You asked for nothing, expected nothing. Helped her, guided her, and you were extra hot to her because she saw you in your element. All that plus the fact that no one had ever bought anything for her until that point and she was a goner.

Katerina: Yeah, whatever let’s see the next question. *tugs card free with her magic*

Tippy: HEY! THAT’S MY JOB!

Katerina: Then stop sucking at it. What was your childhood like? (BTW I love you so much) Doesn’t feel like love to ask such a fucked question.

Tippy: I was leading you to it nice and easy but you went and fucked it, so go on. Answer. 

Katerina: It sucked. I was ostracised with my mother in our coven. Everything I learnt, I taught myself. When I left our house, I was a target and for the majority of my life, I never felt safe. Next!

*tugs another card free* 

Katerina: If you haven’t met Aiden and Julian, what do you think your life would be like? Fuck me, what kind of questions are these?

Tippy: This is why you let me do the asking.

Katerina: *grumbles curses* I think if I hadn’t met them, I would’ve just wandered around on my own. I might’ve gotten a conduit eventually to keep me company. But I probably would’ve gotten myself in enough shit to be a target. I don’t know. If I did end up meeting Apollos, I would’ve been a very different person.

Apollos: I’d love you either way.

Tippy: AWEEEEEEEEEEE! So fucking cute stop! Here’s another, If you could talk to yourself before you met Julian and Aiden, what do you think you’d say?

Katerina: Be a little nicer to Julian. He’s not an asshole, that’s just his face. And maybe scare Aiden a bit more, he’d get over it.

Tippy: What was Aiden’s response to Apollos being your mate?

Katerina: *glances at Apollos* mostly shock? A little excited, which was gross.

Apollos: Yeah, we knew each other so he was on board with it, but I did get a speech.

Katerina and Tippy: YOU GOT A SPEECH??

Apollos: Yeah, like a big brother warning a guy about their little sister.

Tippy: awwwwwww

Katerina:  ewwwwwww

Tippy: You think everything is disgusting. 

Katerina: Guilty.

Tippy: Have you ever tried to kill Aiden in his sleep, while you were asleep?

Katerina: *eyes sparkle* no, but thank you very much for the idea.

Tippy: Jesus. How does it feel to be part of the only straight couple in the series? 

Katerina: Fine, I guess. I don’t think about it. I guess it’s a little weird we’re the only ones.

Tippy: You’re not the only one. You’re just the only one I care enough about to want to write about.

Katerina: Thank you?

Tippy: So you do have manners. 

Apollos: I taught her them all by myself.

Tippy: *cackles while Katerina glares* This one is a little different, Can I marry Nikola please??

*Katerina and Apollos laugh*

Katerina: Sure—

Apollos: If you can get past Hagen. 

Tippy: Which I can guarantee you will not. With Hagen on the roaster, the people want to know — What was your opinion on the rocky start of Nik and Hagen’s relationship? 

Katerina: I was scared. It’s hard for most people to believe it, but Nikola feels a lot for the things he cares about. And he cared about Hagen most. It felt like that part of him was going to be crushed or fall apart when they started having issues and we tried to help them. Maybe not enough, but we did all we could with what we knew and what we had. When it wasn’t working, I was scared.

Tippy: That being said, What’s your favourite thing about Hagen?

Apollos: This one is easy. The way he sees Nikola. He understands him on every level, including the little things we had to learn and train ourselves to look out for. He just understands him, and the few things he misses, he makes sure he will never miss again.

Tippy: How lovely, especially after you tried to kill him. *ignores Apollos’ sputtering* Kat?

Katerina: I love how much he loves Nikola. I never thought I’d see the day. I never thought he would feel so much for him, but he really fucking loves him and that’s all I wanted for Nik.

Tippy: I never thought I’d see the day, but I am happy we made it this far. On the topic of your special boy, How did you feel when you held Nikola for the first time?

Katerina: I know people talk about the magic of childbirth and all that, but I can’t relate. I hated the whole experience, and I couldn’t wait to get him out. When he finally left my body and I saw him, I mean, he was squishy and covered in blood, it looked like an alien and—

Apollos: She cried. Snot was dribbling everything, and she sobbed so loud my ears rang.

Katerina: Why are you still here?!? Can we get rid of him?

Tippy: I don’t want to, but I guess I’ve dragged this out. Apollos, it’s been a pleasure.

Apollos: It really has. Thank you for having me, and I’ll see you at home, princess.

Katerina: *pretends she doesn’t hear him*

*Apollos disappears and Tippy tentatively releases Katerina’s restraints*

Tippy: Alright, let’s wrap this shit going with a speed round!

Katerina: You don’t have to tell me twice.

Tippy: Favourite place to rest

Katerina: My bed, duh. I got that shit stuffed with feathers from animals you haven’t even heard of.

Tippy: That’s sexy. Top 3 resting positions.

Katerina: First up, on my stomach, pillow tucked against my chest, one leg bent right beneath the pillow.

Tippy: Classic.

Katerina: On my back, with room to spread.

Tippy: Surprising, but I see it.

Katerina: Last up, let me be tired and fall asleep curled on the couch and its a wrap!

Tippy: The Queen of Sleep has spoken! Favourite type of food?

Katerina: This is hard, but I’d follow someone into a van for some good, crispy fried chicken.

Tippy: I love my people. Next, What’s your daily routine?

Katerina: Wake up, go back to sleep. Shower, eat breakfast, lounge around. Check if Nik is alright. Make sure the pack is good. See what Apollos is doing. Distract Apollos from whatever he’s doing. Fuck Apollos. Nap. Sleep. Lunch. Nap. Watch a show. Dinner. Sleep

Tippy: …if we could get swap for one day—

Katerina: No. Next question. 

Tippy: *sobs in this economy* What was your first impression of Julian?

Katerina:  Snobby. Cute.

Tippy: That checks out. How much do you love Aiden vs How much do you love Apollos?

Katerina: If we’re going by what Apollos said, I guess I love Aiden like a brother, and I love Apollos more than I ever wanted to, but I’m glad that I do. 

Tippy: I wish he heard that.

Katerina: I tell him every day.

Tippy: *squeals in cuteness* What made you decide that having a werewolf mate wasn’t awful?

Katerina: I realised that outside of what we were, Apollos was the best man I’d ever met, and I couldn’t give him up just because he sprouted fur on full moons.

Tippy: Cute, but that’s kind of offensive, no?

Katerina: Nah, I’m mated to him so I can say it. 

Tippy: I don’t really think that’s how that works, but okay. What was it like meeting Apollos?

Katerina: Well I was drunk and vomited in front of him, so… yeah.

Tippy: Favourite and least favourite thing Apollos does?

Katerina: Favourite thing, he maintains my garden. I’m not like a big earth witch or anything, but he knows that’s a part of me, so he never lets the garden get wild. I could do it myself, but he likes to. It’s sweet. Least favourite thing, sometimes he’s a little too selfless and I don’t like worrying about him in situations I could avoid.

Tippy: That’s part of relationships. Give and Take.

Katerina: Yes, because you’ve been in so many?

Tippy: Kat, keep coming for me, and I swear to God, I will give you insomnia. 

Katerina: …I apologise.

Tippy: *straightens clothes* Now, Favourite and least favourite thing Nikola does?

Katerina: *laughs* well right now, he’s working with Kalem on this project to combat climate change. Kalem is doing it for the world, Nikola is doing it for the penguins. I think that’s fucking hilarious and sweet. My least favourite is how little he calls how, but he is trying to improve on that.

Tippy: How hard is it for you to show your love to Nikola, but at the same time, not showing it for his comfort?

Katerina: You know, at times, it’s hard. It depends on him and how he is feeling. Sometimes, Nikola is very tactile. He hugs us, and kisses us, and other times, he doesn’t just not want to be touched, he wants space. You can’t be too close. And those times can be hard, but overall, it’s okay. I guess I was lucky that I never quite liked being too tactile either, so I coped better. It was harder on Apollos.

Tippy: I can’t even imagine. He’s a werewolf too and touch means so much to them.

Katerina: Yeah, and— wait, you wrote this shit! What do you mean you can’t even imagine?!?

Tippy: TWO MORE QUESTIONS! What’s Nikola’s favourite food for dinner?

Katerina: I don’t know.

Tippy: Ain’t you his mother?

Katerina: Yeah, his mother not his fucking keeper.

Tippy: Damn, now, last but not least, Why did you choose the name Nikola?

Katerina: Apollos and I were trying to figure out names for ages. We were all messed up about it, then one day, we were in the kitchen while I was a few months along, and then it just came to me. It felt right, so we kept it.

Tippy: Well, folks, that’s everything for this Q&A. Katerina, thank you— kinda— for joining us.

Katerina: I did not want to be here.

Tippy: *stares at invisible camera* yes, we are well aware. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing you in Linked next year.

Katerina: Yeah, for your sake, I hope so.

Tippy: You know what—

Katerina: I don’t care *disappears*

*Tippy blinks in the silence*

*adds more trauma to Katerina’s story*

---

Well there you have it!!! Kat’s Q&A!

This was really long overdue cause you guys asked these questions since last September and it just got away from me. Then I was thinking what I could give you guys for Christmas and this came to me!

I unfortunately wasn’t able to prepare a big ol’ drop for Christmas like I usually do, but I wanted to at least do one thing because I know for some of you guys, it might be the only gift you get.

For the rest of you, I hope it at least put a smile on your face.

Merry fucking Christmas Humans!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time,
Byeeeeeeeeeeee Humansssssssssssss
