The song Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron reminds me so much of Seth

Specifically these lines-I took a little journey to the unknown

And I've come back changed, I can feel it in my bones

I fucked with forces that our eyes can't see

Now the darkness got a hold on me

Oh, the darkness got a hold on me

been thinking a lot recently about the concept of Kendra getting "overcharged" → as in this very much human girl suddenly getting a whole well of magic flowing inside of her isn't exactly a clean cut process. her body can accommodate for most of the energy yes but things get a little complicated when its nearing maximum capacity. overflows happen.

working off canon logic i think the light that comes out of Kendra is a bit like an overflow. like when she finally finds there's a way to focus her magic it directly correlates to Making Light — so the light that she gives off without noticing could be her body's way of working off the extra, unusable energy. unusable because Kendra herself can't really Use the magic up to like dragonwatch book 5.

anyhow if she started purposely trying to not shine eventually the magic would have to find another way to manifest → that can either como out like a random, violent burst of energy Or a controlled attempt to redirect the magic to something/someone else. that's how the charging would work...may i get a fic of kendra being forced into learning how to use magic to prevent a nuclear blast of accumulated energy by 5 thank youuuuu

How the Fablehaven characters would play DND

Kendra

It's her first ever game, and she’d study the rules extensively before even trying to make a character. Takes several days for her to land on a backstory she likes. Would play a druid, either a half elf or a wood elf with a little animal companion. More into roleplay than combat and exploration, but surprisingly good at timing her actions when fighting. Takes extensive notes of each session.

Seth

Also his first ever dnd game, did NOT study the rules. Had to be told in session 0 that he couldn’t have a legendary item at level 1. Would play a rogue or a sorcerer tiefling (cause he thinks their design is the coolest). He’d min-max his stats to hell and back. His character starts out being super one dimensional with a vague backstory, but gets more fleshed out as he plays. Keeps forgetting how combat works.

Warren

Dnd veteran, has played almost every race and class but enjoys bard the most. Switches between being a player and DM constantly, but leans more towards DM. Dice goblin, will just give you dice if you ask nicely. Enjoys making lore about his campaigns, but is bad at incorporating the players' backstories into it. Super loose with the rules, if everyones having fun it’s fine. Also is weirdly good at character voices.

Vanessa

Played like one oneshot in college and hasn't touched the game since. Gets into the swing of things pretty fast, enjoys the combat and puzzles. Her character is a monk but she’d play a more unconventional race, like Yuan-Ti or Harengon. Has exactly one set of dice and doesn't see any reason to get more.

Tanu

Is a little familiar with dnd. Would play a ranger tabaxi or dragonborn, enjoys exploration a lot. The main starter of roleplay between the players. Is also the designated snack bringer.

Bracken

Never even heard of dnd before. Attempts to read the rules and only understands about 30% of it. He’d play a paladin character, maybe elf. Really confused on which dice to use at any given time. Keeps pointing out the inconsistencies between the dnd lore vs. how magical creatures actually are.

Ronodin

Has been playing since it first came out in the 70s. He’s been in a couple long term campaigns but he's mostly played one shots. Isn’t really familiar with 5e but gets used to it after a while. Plays a dark elf rogue or warlock. His character's backstory is just similar enough to his own past to get a few eyebrow raises. Fakes a good roll if he’s had a bunch of bad ones in a row.

ok so realistically i know theres important character reasons Kendra (and Seth and Warren by extension) never suspect Gavarog. It’s the old society trick to set up threats as team bonding exercises, etc, etc. plus this is a new and unfamiliar world thats rapidly overtaking her real world and replacing all her existing relationships, and right now Gavarog’s like the only member of her magical-worl peer group, so she doesnt want him to be a traitor, just like she didnt want Vanessa, her only female mentor to be a traitor, etc , etc.

but also i wholeheartedly 100% believe that every time Gavin did some truly bizarre, weird ass shit Kendra was just like. damnnnn…. average home school kid behavior.

Trying to decide if the world is ready for my transfemme Knox post yet

[rinse-and-repeat2]

Decided to go through with it and start posting my different AUs, but I'll only do a few per post to keep it short (tried to do all of them in one post but it ended up being so long that it was crazy) so maybe about 3 per post? sure, yeah, and I'll add a small excerpt for each if I've written one for that particular AU. If you don't want to see them just uhh I dunno block the rinse AUs tag or something sure there you go anyway here's to the first group

Sunset Order AU - An AU about Dale, Warren, and their parent’s backstory. This includes something I created called the Sunset Order which is a branch off of the Knights of Dawn for any kind of behind-the-scenes work that would need to be done, including getting hands dirty (which was made while the Sphinx was the head of the Knights). When Dale is forced into the magical world not exactly by choice, he has to quickly adapt and continue to care for Warren after the recent deaths of their parents alongside uncovering secrets from their past. In its entirety, this is self-indulgent and cobbled together by how little we know about their past/the past of Fablehaven. (No excerpt written)

Street Magic AU - Another short idea I had where magic is more widely known, and the preserves instead serve as schools (very, very prestigious schools). This is in a much more modern world, and magic is incredibly complicated to wield. So, it's often not used unless you pay for the education. Much of the population cannot use magic because of this. Kendra, having shown a proficiency in her understanding of magic, is able to get a full-ride scholarship to what would be Fablehaven's school. Meanwhile, Seth (who is not good at typical academics, studying, and the like) finds a typical, yet hidden, magician's shop and begins to learn magic there instead, under many people's noses (as he does). While Kendra begins to learn what secrets Fablehaven was built on, Seth learns magic in its entirety, not the typical watered-down version by society. (No excerpt written)

Viridity - This one is very near and dear to my heart, but it may not be that near and dear to some others because one of the main people it focuses on is Knox and it also has to acknowledge the end of Dragonwatch (whatever that was). This is a character study on Knox, Seth, and the relationship between them, as they're the same age but such different people in such different situations. This deals with reflections, comparisons, and interactions between them in almost one-shot form. This is partially an AU because I change bits and pieces of the end of Dragonwatch as I wish, but I also keep it as a plot in order to sow doubt after the fact. This fanfiction is about masks, late night conversations, sleep deprivation, and the inherent doubt that is included in growing up (Excerpt Incoming).

Silence worked its way around the room again, filling the gaps no longer in a comfortable way, but in a way where it sunk into their bones, sidled up next to them and breathed down their necks. A shiver rattled down Seth’s spine as an undercurrent began to flow of some emotion he couldn’t identify. Breaths were no longer easy to come by as they had been moments before. Now, suddenly, Seth stood in the kitchen with someone else when before, he had been happily existing alone. It felt… off. Wrong. As if Knox’s eyes could somehow pierce through his very being, analyze him… despite knowing Knox couldn’t—wouldn’t—do that. Kendra would, of course, but not Knox. Not… Knox didn’t have the brainpower to do that, probably. Even now, he spun and flicked the milk bottle cap on the table, looking frustrated every time it spun out and fell. Seth would usually laugh at him, say something about the stupid face he made every time he failed, but Seth couldn’t. Tonight, the tension hung heavy in the air like a smog, having followed Seth down ever since his dream—nightmare, not dream, his mind tugged at him—and it wouldn’t go. It wouldn’t leave. “I’m sorry.” The word slipped from his mouth like a whisper, a small wisp that gets caught up in the smog. He didn’t know why the words came from his mouth—whether it stood as a betrayal from his mind or sleep deprivation finally grasping him in its claws. Maybe… maybe Knox hadn’t heard him. Maybe this would blow over and mean nothing. Knox, meanwhile, stared at Seth, eyes wide and bottle cap forgotten, halfway teetering off the edge before it fell, plummeting to the ground with a sharp clatter. “…What?” Well, shit.

(If you have any questions, want to comment, send an ask, anything else, please do! I love these AUs with my whole heart, whether or not they're anywhere close to being done and I'm going to keep sharing them)
