Thanks To Her
is an The Owl House fanfic by spencethebence.
Vee found many things that she never had at the Boiling Isles: familial affection, food, care, and a place to call home. But never did the shapeshifting creature ever imagine she could find romance her in her life.
Thanks To Her contains the following tropes.
- An Aesop: Hiding an uncomfortable truth from a potential love interest doesn't work in the long run. A healthy relationship depends on you being honest with your partner.
- A Day in the Limelight: The fic focuses on Vee and what she did while Luz and her friends were fighting Belos in the series finale.
- Creepy Good: Masha has a bizarre fascination with the human bones that pop-up all over Gravesfield, but they’re nevertheless a gentle soul.
- Dean Bitterman: Luz’s principal is an unpleasant hardass who Vee doesn’t like communicating with.
- Drives Like Crazy: Averted with Vee, who manages to successfully drive Camilla’s car home.
- Happily Adopted: Camilla treats Vee as her defacto second daughter, and Vee happily repays the favor of covering for her and her veterinarian job. On impulse, she refers to Luz as her sister.
- I Never Told You My Name: Inverted for laughs. Masha assumes Vee already knows their name…because of the name tag on the counter.
- Internal Reveal: Played for Drama. Vee confesses her true nature at Chapter 4, and is crying by doing so, thinking Masha is going to hate her, only for Masha to assure her they hold no ill will.
- Jerkass Realization: Vee has a small one when she realizes she hurt Masha by avoiding them after she stopped copying Luz's identity.
- Nice Person: Masha is an extraordinarily kind and conscientious person.
- Relatively Flimsy Excuse: Vee claims to be Luz’s long lost sister to explain her living situation to Masha.
