Gonna Win Back My Girl By Spider8Fiend -- Report

Well, it's that time of year again! It's that special time where I post a fic that began as a short story, a meager side project, before ballooning into a novella. Wow, did this fic become a beast! Someday, I gotta get an editor, who can tell me when to rein it in and save myself months of extra work.

For the time being, however, please enjoy this Owl House fic! It began as a nugget of an idea while working on a Lumity fic inspired by the lovely KnownMusk's comics, and when I hit a brick wall writing that beauty, this came out instead. As always, I must thank good friends like  ani21 and  ruler101 who offered constant support, as well as individuals who want to remain anonymous. You know who you are~<3

As far as bully characters go, Boscha doesn't do much in The Owl House's plot to stand out, but she's always had a special place in my heart. Perhaps it's her design, from that lovely shade of violet-red hair to those three steely-grey eyes? Maybe its the sheer vindictiveness she has against Willow, Luz, and anyone who stands in her way? Or just how much energy her VA puts into every one of Boscha's appearances?

Either way, I adore this little nutcase. Finally glad I got to write a fic about her! So please know that while reading this, it's more-or-less the accumulation of years worth of latent fanboying! And don't worry, the Lumity fic is still in the works! I can't let that fire die, not now. Not ever!

EDIT: 10/14/2024:

Good news, everyone! By the kind and generous heart of my good friend,  wollygoffy, they've created fanart of this silly story of mine. Namely, artwork of Bocha's 'growth spurt' after devouring Luz and Amity and her new fashion sense I've provided a link below to the fanart itself, and eagerly encourage you all to show it some love! It's so rare I receive such thoughtful gifts, so please help me return such love by showing it to WollyGoffy:

Damn! That was an INSANE and Awesome Story!! Every single word was incredible and suspenseful. If you were to make another chapter to this, I hope it'll be awesome and have Boscha Lose.

Hah, maybe I will! If anyone deserves her comeuppance, it’s Boscha. That, and writing fics where a bully/witch just steadily devours the whole cast feels too formulaic at this point. A turnabout like that is the breath of fresh air I need~

well, we can trade it around a bit. Ever since Delt's comic about her i've liked the idea of Boscha getting quite chunky and literally too big for her britches, so letting her fatten herself up on some poor delicious witches to make a bigger meal for luz/Amity/Willow/Eda - whomeve, would be fun, especially sicne I don't think Luz or Amity would be satisfied with gurgling her just once. Those two have a naughty/vengeful streak to them.

That's true, either Amity or Luz would need to get some Delicious payback after what Boscha did to them. Would it be funny if Skara out of everyone was the one to finish off Boscha?

so many options: makes me wonder if there should be a "choose your own pred" conclusion to it all- a defeated Boscha being offered before a selection of preds, and each one being an alternative version/way of consuming her.

depends entirely how wild Spider feels like getting about this. Whole Hog or just pork belly.

Pffft. That’d be an interesting challenge to write. Maybe if someone commissioned me, I’d go that extra mile XD

Oh, devouring prey you’ve reformed is very tantalizing. It’s a big reason why Delt’s work struck such a chord with me. Hah, part of me wanted to retool the fic to follow along Delt’s Willow/Skara/Boscha sequences, but I figured it’s better to make my own content than walk in someone else’s shadow.

A fantastic story you made right here. And I have similar feelings, Boscha’s a bully sure but I always have a soft spot for her. You really captured her character here and I hope you make more stories with her involved.

Thank you kindly! Your support makes writing such projects very much worth it!

Your welcome, though my hope when I saw this was that Boscha would eat both Luz and Amity at the same time, give the couple some moments with one another before they’re turned to mulch, still good either way.

Depending on how the reforming goes, Luz and Amity could have some cuddle time around Boscha whilst she stews slowly inside one of them and loses her mind with anger over them taking so tantalisingly long to glorp her becuase they're being so lovey-dovey.

Hah, I did imagine Luz & Amity making out (or the closest equivalent for souls) inside Boscha, pissing her off, but ending with her supposed total victory felt like a stronger plot beat. If I write a sequel, both Vonny457 and your idea will likely be incorporated in some way…

I’d love to see either of these ideas realized, if you do take your time I’m sure you’d make it as good as this one.

I appreciate it! I’ve already got a few ideas cooking in my noggin, hopefully they coalesce into something that’ll match this story’s caliber!

There’s one in mind, yes. The current plot will be a fair simpler & shorter than this one, but I’d love to flesh out Boscha more. If not in a character sense, then literally haha
