#🖤 : ophelia headcanon

[alleyhearts]

OC, Lute, and mun tag dump!

Oof. This was a tough one to make.

Audio starts halfway, more below the read more.

It's been hard lately. I generally don't swim in the angst pool often because I'm so susceptible to drowning, but I had this idea for a while and channeling my pain into it was a little helpful.

I have this headcanon that because technically the threat of the Dead Three is taken care of, Withers can no longer willy nilly just revive the group. This death? It's final. They knew that going in.

But maybe. . maybe Astarion can believe in the gods one more time, if it meant getting her back.

Ophelia is mine. She is a bard. 🖤

2022 writing wrap up

Thank you for tagging me @ventiswampwater🖤

Total words published: I know it was about 125k for fics.

Additional words written: 9k for headcanons, and 17k for WIPs that are in my Google Docs.

Grand total of words: 151k (holy shit)

Fandoms: Elvis 2022 for most of it and slashers (so far just House of Wax)

Highest everything (raw hits, kudos, comments): I only post on here, but the fic that has the most notes is If I Were You at a little over 1200 as of right now.

Highest kudos to hits ratio: I’m gonna do the fic that had the most reblogs which is also If I Were You.

New things I tried: Pretty much everything! I hadn’t written fics in years when I started posting back in July. I’d never written darkfics before, but it’s been such a interesting niche to get into. 

Fic I spent the most time on: I wanna say Enjoy the Silence because I was so self-critical about writing Vincent well. According to my Google Docs edit history, though, it was Is a Dream a Lie If It Don’t Come True, which took me a month to finish.

Favorite thing I wrote: I’m really proud of Howl since I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and took a big chance writing it, and I’m glad with how it turned out.

Favorite thing I read: One for each fandom because I’m sneaky🤭

I’ve probably said this before but @woundmetender’s series Tempt by the Hour is so detailed and well-written!

@raccoonspooky’s fic they’ll pay you a thousand for a kiss and .50 for your soul was incredible. I’ve definitely read it multiple times.

Writing goals for 2023: Take more time and be more intentional with my writing, if that makes sense. I’d also like to write at least one fic for each of the fandoms I have listed on my intro post at some point this year!

New works: As of right now, the ones I have planned are

Severen (Near Dark) - mid-January

Bo Sinclair (House of Wax) - late January

Father Paul Hill (Midnight Mass) - early February

I tag: @powerofelvis @dulcewrites @elvisabutler @asshlyyyy @ophelia-writes-stuff @woundmetender and anyone else who wants to do this!

LORNA AND OPHELIA LORNA AND OPHELIA LORNA AND OPHELIA ❤️🖤❤️🖤

this is gonna be so messy and i'm already so invested this dynamic has me in a chokehold–

lorna was moved around a lot following her first stint in arkham. her father was secretary of defence, and often found himself jetting off to wherever he was needed (in the dceu, this led to him unfortunately being present in metropolis during the superman incident, where he perished as collateral damage)

her mother was a gothamite, though, and so lorna had initially spent most of her time in gotham as a child, in a bid to give lorna some much needed stability

and so gotham was where lorna always eventually ended up

it was summer when she'd returned. alfred hadn't been at the manor – off running some errand – but ophelia was there

of course, finding a stranger in the manor was a shock to the system, and before ophelia could even introduce herself, lorna had removed a carving knife from the block and held it to ophelia's throat

it took bruce four minutes and forty eight seconds to talk lorna down and explain who ophelia was to him

ophelia had counted, because it was the only way to calm her heart as her pulse raced against steel

in all honesty, lorna just simply couldn't fathom the bruce wayne having a girlfriend. the beginnings of a reclusive nature had begun in childhood, and him being in a relationship was just never a thought that had ever occurred to lorna

she apologised to ophelia, but ophelia couldn't tell if she meant it or not

they spent some of that summer together, lorna third wheeling and a bit on edge (she's protective of bruce, but not in a possessive romantic jealousy kinda way. in more of a "he never healed, and i can't have his heart broken again" way)

ophelia managed to win over lorna over time, and eventually she warmed to ophelia

and then bruce left for oxford, and lorna returned to the military academy, and all that was left of their unlikely trio was ophelia, alone, in gotham

they met one more time before the events of the film; and it was the court hearing for the homicide case that got lorna committed to arkham once again

the case that lorna was outwardly taking the blame for, in spite of evidence not lining up. but her confession had no faults, every detail accounted for, and with her history of violence – once a sealed record, now public knowledge – it was so easy to just believe her

only ophelia couldn't, because she'd been with lorna during the time of the supposed murder; at least during the partial time-frame

headcanoning that maybe the strangeness of this case was what solidified ophelia's decision to enter into the police force as a coroner?

even when lorna returned during the events of the batman, their paths never crossed again, and lorna, who had tied her precarious friendship with ophelia so closely to bruce, never felt the need to reach out

although she had asked bruce about ophelia during the funeral

it was more manipulation than concern, for bruce was refusing to speak to her after what had happened and lorna knew that if she brought up something he cared about, he'd finally say something, anything to her

they'd only run into eachother after lorna had taken the position to oversee martial law being put in effect

gotham p.d. and the military were working very closely together to try and get order back in gotham

lorna, who'd earned her position through nepotism – she was there as a representative of her father, being his eyes and ears – had something to prove, a massive chip on her shoulder. she's more bulldog than girl at that point

and she genuinely thinks the batman is the problem

bruce had said it himself: crime had been up since he'd taken to the streets

imagine lorna lovestrange's surprise at finding ophelia working the morgue while trying to track down enough evidence to raid the iceberg lounge

they catch up over coffee

but when the batman rises in conversation, lorna can immediately tell that ophelia knows who is under the mask

she'd always had a way of telling when people lied to her. inherited from her mother, no doubt.

she could never tell when bruce lied, though. he'd been doing it since they were children, with all his "i'm fine"s and "i'll be okay"s

bruce was her blindspot, but ophelia was a crack in the batman's armour that lorna was going to expose

the seeds of mistrust – ones that never truly went away – began to sprout and grow once more

but then lorna lovestrange disappears

either as a result of lorna's position of direct opposition against the penguin, or something much more sinister; ophelia's mind can't help but leap to the worst possible conclusions

and ophelia is dreading the day that lorna turns up again, but as a body on the slab

(also headcanoning that ophelia narrowly escapes becoming one of the wedding guests at lorna's unwilling marriage to tommy elliot during a potential hush-centered sequel to the batman)
