I think you're doing really well incorporating Peter's serpentine features into his puberty, like the venom dream and now the skin-shedding. And the poor kid doesn't know what's happening to him, and his dads can't even reassure him that it's all normal because they don't know that it's normal and because they're not anything like him. (Naga!Tino would be all "see, our tongues are forked too, don't worry about the venom on the pillow, it's a sign you're becoming a big strong snake like Berwald" and then take him hunting. And have a big party for his First Skin Shedding, which Peter would've been expecting because they'd have had an awkward talk about how he might have noticed that he's been itchy lately.) Peter freaking out at the tube of dead snakeskin on the bed reminds me of a girl having her period for the first time and not knowing what it is.
I'm waiting for the moment when Berwald and Tino have to tell Peter where he really comes from, because I have a feeling it will be heartbreaking.
A!A here- Oh god, now I kind of want a fill with all of them being nagas because it would all be so much happier D: I love your ideas.
I suppose that when you take away the naga-things, this is basically a story about puberty. Ungh. I'm writing about puberty. Oh god. Thank god we don't have to take the naga things away xD yes, an even stronger angstfest is heading your way, seek cover or you will be smothered
