#Alec i Amasa

[lamaery]

I was rereading Luck In The Shadows and Stalking Darkness by Lyn Flewelling, so drawing Alec, Seregil and the rest of them was my relaxing comfort activity before going to bed for the last days now and then. Even though most of the main cast is male for these books, there are sooo many interesting and diverse female side characters, named and unnamed.

I’ve been reading Lynn Flewelling’s Nightrunner series so here have some obscure book fanart! This is a scene from the end of the book because I still haven’t stopped thinking about Alec running after Seregil and knocking him off his horse for being an idiot. I would draw that, but I can’t draw horses

Just finished The Nightrunner series (7 books) by Lynn Flewelling, and I’m having all sorts of feelings about it. What a magnificent end for such a beautiful cast of characters.

I first found this series when I was looking up lists of older epic fantasy books with LGBTQIA+ rep. Lynn Flewelling’s first book “Luck in the Shadows” came out in 1996 (and I’m crying that I consider it an “older” book when it’s younger than me) and wrapped up with a cryptic “for now” in 2014. The series definitely felt like it had different eras, and I enjoyed them all immensely. I have an intense desire to pull out book one and start reading from the beginning.

The series isn’t without its faults and does incorporate some tired tropes that were more popular in their day than they are now, but I think having Seregil and Alec at the helm of a dream team of characters, all living in a beautifully fleshed-out world more than makes up for any imperfections.

The relationship between Seregil and Alec is a slow burn, but when it takes off, it takes off. Though their relationship isn’t the main focus of the series, it becomes the foundation of their strength as they face off against dark, antagonistic forces. Between these two and Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven Official’s Blessing, they make this cynical soul believe in the power of love again.

In general, I have a tendency to gravitate towards one or two characters in stories which leads me to dread reading about the other characters. Not so for Nightrunner! Each character became so dear to me that I never felt a need to skim over parts.

So, if you’re looking for something to pick up, I highly recommend this series. (4.75/5)

nightrunner wiki?

is anyone interested in collaborating with me to get the nightrunner wiki beefed up and up to date?

im reading the series right now and tbh having a hard time with all the details sometimes. i’d really like to be able to look it up when i have a question, but the wiki is barren.

i’ve never worked on a wiki before but im interested in making friends who are also into the nightrunner series, having a discord, etc

dm me if interested!

“And in the light.”

Mock cover for Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling.

[incorrect-nightrunner]

Seregil: I'm gonna touch the cursed object.

Thero: ... why?

Seregil: cause alec is not around and he's like 80% of my impulse control.

Optional addition:

Thero, softly: What about the remaining 20%?

Seregil: ... that would be Micum. See him anywhere around?
