Our Week Off Together!
is a romantic comedy fic for The Owl House written by DancinKronoRequiem.
The story focuses on Amity and Luz having a sleepover due to Amity's manor being infested with Skull Screamers.
Summary: Luz Noceda celebrates her first day of a free school week by visiting the fair with King. After a classic mishap, she encounters Amity Blight who doesn't seem to be enjoying her break. A freak infestation has forced her family to evacuate the house and won't be able to return until the exterminators are done. After expressing her plight of being at the mercy of her pestering siblings, Luz offers Amity to stay over at the Owl House for the week. Amity accepts, but quickly learns the horror of living in the house with a wild witch and her crush. With each day filled with chaos and trouble that follows the Owl House gang, Amity gets unfortunately pulled into the crossfire. A disastrous week to be sure, but maybe this could also be the chance for Amity to finally tell Luz how she feels.

Notes from author:This story was created right after the episode of "Wing It Like Witches." Therefore the story will be continue as the last two episodes of Season 1 did not happened and that Amity has already recovered from her leg injury. There will not be under any circumstances sexual acts between the girls as this is just a fluff-focused story that will tolerate only hugging, kissing, or even handholding.
Our Week Off Together! provides examples of:

But he also has a heart of gold and is willing to help out the people around him."

I can make campfire meals but even I had help with my siblings.""House staffs? Like maids and butlers? Haha… you know I keep forgetting how insanely rich you are," Luz chuckles weakly.

You wanted to learn for me, didn’t you?”Amity blushes but goes in full denial. “I-I only did it so I’d know you weren’t making fun of me! I wasn’t doing it so I would impress you or anything!”Luz leans back in her chair with a pout, “You’re being such a tsundere.”Amity slams her hand on the table and points accusingly at her, “See!
