Heart, Soul & Mind — Cuphead TV Tropes

Warning, this fanmade trope contains spoilers for the fanfiction, please read with care and enjoy.

One of the main protagonists of the Cuphead video game and one of the three first people Lexie meets on the Inkwell Isles after she and her friends are pulled into the book. The most adventurous and mischievous of the two brothers, Cuphead is always eager for some fun and adventure.

Although he became slightly overconfident over the defeat of the Devil after the events of the game, Cuphead doesn’t let it interfere with his focus as he and Mugman try to help their new human friends to unveil the reason why the Devil wants Katie, Lexie and Natty and find a way to send them, Matt and Liam home safely. However, when things are more complicated than they seem, Cuphead is brewing for a swell battle ahead.

Actually Pretty Funny:

Affectionate Nickname: He is often referred as “Cuppy” or even sometimes “Cups”.

Affection-Hating Kid: Like most kids his age, he’s easily disgusted by anything concerning romance, deeming it as “mushy stuff”. Eh, he’s young. He’ll learn.

And This Is For…!:

Berserk Button: Don’t mess with his brother or his friends.

Big Brother Instincts: Despite some of his flaws, Cuphead is still a loving, caring and very protective brother towards Mugman. When Mugsy’s soul was forcefully stolen by King Dice, Cuphead is determined to get it back and make the Devil and Dice for pushing his main Berserk Button.

Birds of a Feather: When it comes to caring for their friends and loved ones, protecting them from the Devil’s wrath, Cuphead and Lexie are rather alike and get along swimmingly.

Break the Cutie: Seeing his brother getting forcefully stolen from him did a serious number on the poor lad as he blamed himself for failing to Mugman and suffered a horrible nightmare about the Devil hurting Mugsy in Chapter 28: A Calm Before the Storm. Luckily, Ms. Chalice and his new friends are there to comfort him and provide him emotional support.

Dude in Distress:

In Anubis’ debut, Chapter 18: Shadows Bending, Dragon Ascening, the Shadowbending jackal kidnaps Cuphead and has him Bound and Gagged in shadows until the Dreamstones come to the young Cup’s aid.

Poor Cuphead unwillingly grabs the Distress Ball again in Chapter 24: Now You Sea Me, Now You Don’t when the Devil in his giant form, caught Cuphead and briefly took his soul. The Devil would have gotten away scot-free with both Cups’ souls if Lexie had not awoken her hidden powers and beaten the tar out of the Big Doofus, thus allowing Cuphead to to regain his soul.

Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Cuphead had never liked King Dice during the events of the game but now he downright hates him most especially for stealing Mugman’s soul before his very eyes out of spite.

Finger Gun:

It’s All My Fault:

After King Dice stole Mugman’s soul back in Chapter 14, Cuphead constantly blames himself for failing to protect his brother.

He also feels guilty about coming to the Devil’s Casino and unwittingly made a deal with the Devil in the first place.

Kid Hero:

My Greatest Failure: After Dice forcefully swiped Mugman’s soul, Cuphead constantly blames himself and carries the guilt on his shoulder. And it doesn’t make things any better when the Devil and Dice spare a moment to do some Evil Gloating about it to spite him. However…

My Greatest Second Chance:

Red is Heroic: He’s a Kid hero who has a tiny red nose, has a bendy red and white striped straw and he wears red shorts.

Shout-Out: In the chapter where he, Mugman, Matt and Liam needed disguises to sneak into the casino to rescue the girls, Cuphead’s choice of disguise is much like his “Patch-Eyed Pete” get-up in The Cuphead Show episode, “Special Delivery”. The difference is that he wears an actual eyepatch rather than have Porkrind scribble a fake one over his eye with a pencil.

Sibling Team: With his brother, Mugman.

Took a Level in Hardcore: Even though he and Mugman were already strong in the game, he gets some upgrades in his abilities thanks to the magic potion Misterie had made for him, Mugman and Ms. Chalice.

2023 Movie Journey: Masterlist

if you’ve known me for any time at all, you should know by now that i will not watch very many movies this year. i’ll aspire to, i’ll think it’s a good idea, but it’s just not that likely to happen. however, that shouldn’t stop me from the fun of trying! 

my goal was to average one movie a week so by year’s end i’d have seen more than 50. that didn’t come close to happening, but i’ll keep reviewing them here and check them off my watchlist as i go. (this list just keeps getting longer but i enjoyed updating it for 2023.)

Series: How to Train Your Dragon / Brave crossover Rating: M Genre: Adventure/Family/Romance

Summary: After Dagur sacrificed himself to save Hiccup and the Riders from Viggo’s trap, he washed up on the shore of a strange island that appeared on no map he’d ever seen. He became fast friends with Merida, Princess of Dunbroch, and lived peacefully in Scotland for three years before Viggo’s appearance with a hoard of dragons at his beck and call turned it all upside down. Hopelessly outmatched, Dagur and Merida realize their only hope for salvation lies with Hiccup and the Riders of Berk.

AN: Extra long chapter this week, hope you enjoy! It's also the second to last for what I have pre-written 8'D WARNING: This chapter is pretty much the reason this fic is rated M! It includes scenes of violence, torture, and character death! There's nothing super gorey, but blood is drawn, so consider this your heads up!

Heart of a Scot,Soul of a Dragon Chapter Sixteen: The Berserker’s Tale

A bark of laughter escaped Hiccup at Dagur's question, making the older man frown in his direction before turning his attention back to Valka. "Did I say something funny?" he asked her.

The dark haired woman shook her head and took a seat beside the fire, content to sit on the floor instead of a chair. Somewhere in the shadows overhead, Cloudjumper shifted then dropped down behind her and proceeded to settle himself so she might lean back against his broad, scaly chest. The Stormcutter had ascended back into the rafters as soon as Dagur had begun to wake, content to watch things play out from above while Toothless frolicked about their guest. Now he regarded the gape-mouthed man with curious golden eyes.

"Not at all," Valka replied pleasantly. "I'm Valka, and this is Cloudjumper," she explained as she gave her dragon's forepaw a fond pat, then looked back at Dagur and said, "I'm Hiccup's mother."

AN: Oh geeze I almost forgot to post this hah 8'D Well I haven't gone to bed for Tuesday night Wednesday morning yet so it counts, right?Thanks so much to those of you that have left reviews so far! They mean so much to me you have no idea ;w; Remember to follow me on my tumblr sideblog jolieburnsinfandomhell for updates, previews, and fanart!

Heart of a Scot, Soul of a Dragon Chapter Four: Fate’s Hand

Early the next morning while Merida ate a quick breakfast, she overheard Maudie clucking to herself under her breath as she rummaged through the larder and asked, "Something the matter, Maudie?"

The head woman jumped a little in her surprise at being addressed before saying, "Oh! Princess, I didn't hear you come in." Merida just quirked her lips in amusement, and the older woman continued, "That brace of pigeons I'd had in here has gone missing. If I can't find them, I've not a clue what you and their majesties will be eating for dinner."

Merida polished off the bun she'd been nibbling on, and suggested, "How about rabbit?"

"That'd be all well and good if we had any rabbit," the woman mused as she exited the larder and stood, hands on hips, looking about the place as though she expected to find what she was looking for tucked among the pots and pans.

"I'll get some. I'm always partial to rabbit," Merida said brightly, eager for the opportunity to get out of the castle for a few hours.

The head woman looked doubtful and said, "I don't know, Princess. Your father seems concerned about that awful Grimborn man who was here the other day...he's posted extra lookouts and everything. I'm not sure it'd be right for you to-"

"You worry too much, Maudie," Merida said with a roll of her eyes. When the woman looked ready to say no, though, the princess added, "If it makes you feel better, I'll take an escort, yeah? Then I'll be safe as a wee bug in a rug."

Mericcup month day 13

Prompt: Ragnarok

Ragnarok, according to Norse mythology and belief system, is an epic battle fought by the gods in which Asgard will cease to exist, also marking the end of the God's era and the beginning of a new one.

I didn't quite comply with this, though, but I took inspiration of the concept "a great battle that ends the world as we know it" and twisted it into something inspired by @cryptid-jack 's story, Heart of a Scot, soul of a dragon.

In this story, Viggo has invaded Dun'Broch with a dragon army, and the dragon riders of Berk are the Scot's last hope. The story is unfinished, though, and we never get to see Merida and Hiccup meet. Despite that, it is still one of my favorite fics of all time, and I drew what I imagined it would be like had Hiccup and Merida met in-fic. An epic battle that decides the future of the kingdom, ending Dun'Broch as we know it. They're facing their little Ragnarok.

"In the harbor stood a ring-prowed ship, glorious, by the mast. There were many treasures loaded there, adornment from distant lands; I have never heard of a more lovely ship bedecked with battle-weapons and war-gear, blades and byrnies." P. 85 lines 33-40 My thought while reading these lines is I would love to see this ship as it actually looked with all those treasures onboard!

"Then the work, as I've heard, was widely proclaimed to many nations throughout this middle-earth, to come adorn the folk-stead." P. 86 lines 74-76. I wonder what this 'middle earth is? Is it another unknown area unseen by most people?

"Long have I been the coast-warden, and kept sea-watch so that no enemies with fleets and armies should ever attack the land of the Danes." P. 88 lines 240-243. I wonder what the qualifications were to hold the position of 'coast-warden.'

8-30-22 Wk 2

"He fell in battle, it cost him his life, and now another has come, a mighty evil marauder who means to avenge her kin, and too far has carried out her revenge, as it may seem to many a thane whose spirit groans for his treasure-giver, a hard heart's distress-now that hand lies dead which was wont to give you all good things." P. 103 lines 1337-1344. It looks like someone is coming along soon for a revenge killing, which tells me as a reader to keep my head up for more scenes of combat.

"I will reward you with the ancient riches for that feud, as I did before, with twisted gold, if you return alive." P. 103 lines 1380-1382. I was just wondering if 'twisted gold' is more valuable or desirable than untwisted gold? Or, what is twisted gold anyway, it sounds intriguing.

"At last his portion of pride within him grows and flourishes, while the guardian sleeps, the soul's shepherd-that sleep is too sound, bound with cares, the slayer too close who, sinful and wicked, shoots from his bow." P. 108 lines 1740-1744. I like this passage because I think that it represents the eternal struggle we all face between the the forces that keep one on the right path, and the 'slayer' that seeks to brings all down a dark and narrow path of destruction.

9-6-22 wk 3

"I have never seen such rudeness-when someone's dogs make a kill, you don't set your own dogs on their stag! I call that rude. And although I won't beat you up over a stag, I swear to God, I will do a hundred stags' worth of damage to your reputation." P. 159 I read in the introduction to this story, that one's reputation was the one thing everyone wanted to uphold above all else. So, the thought of damaging his reputation was much more serious than physical punishment would be.

"King Arthur, the valiant and courteous, was staying at Carlisle on account of the Scots and Picts who were ravaging the country: they came into the land of England and repeatedly caused destruction there." P. 188 lines 5-10. These are some of the first few lines of 'Lanval,' and I found it interesting that King Arthur, a person I have always heard about, was mentioned 'holding court' against the Scots and Picts invaders.

"To the members of the Round Table-they had no equal in all the world." P. 188 lines 15-16 I always remembered that King Arthur had this Round Table, and it seemed like the centerpiece of the everything that happened in the tales about King Arthur.

Wk 4 9-13-22

"Sometimes he fights dragons, and wolves as well, sometimes with wild men who dwelt among the crags; both with bulls and with bears, and at other times boars, and ogres who chased him across the high fells." P. 245 lines 720-723. I like this passage because it puts an image in mind of of Gawain struggled to fight off all of these powerful beasts and wild men, it is just something I would like to see depicted in film.

"Still dressed in his armor they brought him into hall, where a blazing fire was fiercely burning. Then the lord of that company comes down from his chamber, to show his respect by meeting Gawain there. To show his respect by meeting Gawain there, he said, "You are welcome to do as you please with everything here; all is yours, to have and command as you wish." PP. 247-248 lines 831-837. I like this passage because it demonstrates how welcoming the noblemen of this castle were, and the way they had such overwhelming respect and honor for Gawain, as describes by the way they took him as a respected hero.

"And the good man Gawain lies in his fine bed, lying snug while the daylight gleamed on the walls, under a splendid coverlet, shut in by curtains." P. 256 lines 1179-1181. I just like the imagery of Gawain lying on his comfortable bed as the morning light shone through the windows.

Wk 5 9-21-22

"To bring me home some gay things from the fair

They were glad when my speech to them was fair"

I choose these lines using the modern translation of the 'Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale," I liked these lines because throughout this poem, there are such great end rhythms throughout the poem. I like the how the word 'fair' at the end of both of these lines use the same word but with different meanings.

"Lo, here is the wise king, Don Solomon; I think he had some wives, well more than one. Now would to God it lawful were for me to be refreshed here half so much as he!" I like these lines from 'Bath's Prologue and Tale,' because she is defending the fact that she has had 5 husbands, but that can't be as bad as Solomon from the Bible whom had many more wives then that.

"And when my husband from this world has passed, another Christian man will wed me fast; then the apostle says that I am free to wed, by God, where it most pleases me. He says to be wedded is not sinning; Better to be wedded than be burning." Now, this passage from 'Wives of Bath' was interesting to me because I was not sure what she meant in the final line about 'burning.' Was she speaking of burning at the stake, or burning in hell forever?

Wk 6 9-28-22

"Don't be so quick to repulse me, you'll get plenty of money from my hand." P. 661 This line from 'Welshman and an Englishwoman,' is interesting because it concerns the monetary transaction that this man is to make to the woman.

"In the old age black was not counted fair, or if it were, it bore not beauty's name." P. 894 Sonnet 127 I like this line from this sonnet because it kind of speaks the true about the fact that old age is still till this day not thought of as being 'fair'.

"Rich fools there be, whose base and filthy heart lies hatching still the goods wherein they flow," P. 732 stanza 24 of Astrophil and Stella is a thought which is probably timeless because there seems to be plenty of rich people that do foolish things especially as deals with matters of the heart.

Wk 7 10-6-22

"Father, you have devised well, and whilst our flock doth roam up and down this pleasant green you shall recount me, if it please you, for what cause this tree was dedicated unto Neptune, and why you have thus disguised me." lines 6-10 of Act I in Galatea. I like these lines because it serves as foreshadowing of what is about to come later in the story.

"The condition was this: that at every five years' day, the fairest and chastest virgin in all the country should be brought unto this tree, and here being bound (whom neither parentage shall excuse for honour, nor virtue for integrity) is left for a peace-offering unto Neptune." lines 47-51 of Act I in Galatea. This is great because it is the father informing the son of the five year ritual so that he can better understand by he is being disguised.

"It is a pretty boy and a fair. He might well have been a woman, but because he is not, I am glad I am. For now, under the colour of my coat, I shall decipher the follies of their kind." lines 21-24 of Act II in Galatea. It seems that Phillida intends to perform some research into the dudes in a covert manner. This could be interesting.

"That is my spirit, for my silver is so quick that I have much ado to catch it, and when I have it, it is so nimble that I cannot hold it. I thought there was a devil in it." lines 59-61 of Act II in Galatea. This is Rafe responding to Peter after he mentions what the first spirit is which is quicksilver. I like the quote because it does a good job describing the nature of mercury. It could also be a reference to the god of Mercury also.

"Virgin's hearts I perceive are not unlike cotton trees, whose fruit is so hard in the bud that it soundeth like steel, and being ripe, poureth forth nothing but wool; and their thoughts like the leaves of lunary, which the further they grow from the sun, the sooner they are scorched with his beams." lines 20-25 of Act III in Galatea. This is taken from the opening lines of Telusa and I like it because Telusa is saying that virgin hearts are hard hearted when they are children and when they grow to adulthood they don't have useful thoughts (like wool) and become crazy (with their leaves of lunary). This story is endlessly quotable!

Week 8

MARCELLUS: "'Tis gone. We do it wrong, being so majestical, to offer it the show of violence, for it is as the air invulnerable, and our vain blows malicious mockery." This line speaks a truth that you cannot hurt a ghost with violence because a ghost is like air which cannot be hurt. Act 1.1 P. 9 in Hamlet.

HAMLET: "His beard was grizzled, no? HORATIO: It was as I Have seen it in his life, a sable silvered. HAMLET: I will watch tonight. Perchance 'twill walk again." This back and forth with Hamlet and his guards makes me think that Hamlet were likely to believe anything he heard. I would have not believed them at all. Act 1.2 P. 20 in Hamlet.

HAMLET: "Thou com'st in such a questionable shape that I will speak to thee. I'll call thee Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me!" Now that Hamlet has seen the ghost of his father, it is clear from the way he addresses the ghost that he misses his presence in the here and now very much. I think I can understand that emotion. Act 1.4 P. 28 in Hamlet

Week 9 10-20-22

POLONIUS: "I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. Mad call I it, for, to define true madness, what is't but to be nothing else but mad?" I like the way that Polonius reports to the Queen the condition of Hamlet. He says a lot of stuff but doesn't really say anything much at all is what makes it entertaining to me. Act 2.2 P. 46 in Hamlet

HAMLET: "You are welcome. But my uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived." GUILDENSTERN: In what, my dear lord? HAMLET: I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw." I wonder if being mad in the north but perfectly sane in the south has something to do with something which is happening in those directions. Otherwise, it makes no sense and it therefore would reinforce the notion that he is in fact completely mad. Act 2.2 P. 54 in Hamlet.

KING: "And can you by no drift of conference get from him why he puts on this confusion, grating so harshly all his days of quiet with turbulent and dangerous lunacy?" I feel like the king would sincerely like to know if there is any way to cure is crazy delusions like seeing his father's ghost and they having conversations together. Act 3.1 P. 62 in Hamlet

Week 11 10-30-22

"Take you a course, get you a place, observe his honour, or his grace, and the King's real, or his stamped face" lines 5-8 of The Canonization of page 916. I like these set of Iines because I think it speaks to something we should all strive to do. Namely, go get yourself a good job and make good money, and let the image of the King or whomever is on money inspire you to continue to make more of it.

"Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast Brought Death into the World, and all our woe, With loss of Eden, till one greater Man Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat, Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire." pp. 1017-1018 lines 1-7 of Book I Paradise Lost. I like this line because it seems to paraphrase the essence of the one thing that happening in the Garden of Eden which lead to them being brought out of Paradise, namely eating from the tree of life. It also provides an idea of what this tale will be about.

"If then His Providence out of our evil seek to bring forth good, our labour must be to pervert that end, and out of good still to find means of evil; which oft times may succeed so as perhaps shall grieve Him" P. 1020 lines 162-167. The way I read this excerpt is that its good to seek of God's help to stay on the right path of good, but that even though we may be on the working hard to stay on the righteous path, evil always finds a way to divert our attention and cause us to take a detour back to the road of sin.

Final Week

"The wind that wantoned in her hair, and with her ruffled garments played, discovered in the flying maid all that the gods e'er made of fair. So Venus, when her love was slain, with fear and haste flew o'er the fatal plain." from lines 125-130 on page 1233 of "The disappointment" by Behn I like the way the the words rhythm in this section, I think that it demonstrates the imaginative writing which has a way of putting images in ones mind as to what she is describing here.

"He was therefore no sooner got to his apartment, but he sent the royal veil to Imoinda, that is, the ceremony of invitation." p. 1240 "Oroonoko" The reason that I chose this passage is because I found it interesting that they had apartments in those days. I always that they were more modern places to live.

"We are almost a nation of dancers, musicians, and poets. Thus every great event, such as a triumphant return from battle or other cause of public rejoicing, is celebrated in public dances, which are accompanied with songs and music suited to the occasion." p. 1723 "Interesting Narrative..." by Equiano. I do really like this passage, because it provides some interesting insight into the culture. I do find it interesting that they tend to have a dance ceremony for important events that happen with them.

The Dragon's Dove Chronicles Book 1

by Kim Iverson Headlee

Genre: Historical Fantasy

 Print Length: 415 pages

Publisher: Lucky Bat Books

Publication Date: February 25, 2013

 What if King Arthur’s queen was every bit as heroic as he was? Find out by immersing yourself in this epic story of the power couple whose courage and conviction would shape the destiny of a nation. Gyan is a Caledonian chieftainess by birth, a warrior and leader of warriors by training, and she is betrothed to Urien, a son of her clan’s deadliest enemy, by right of Arthur the Pendragon’s conquest of her people. For the sake of peace, Gyan is willing to sacrifice everything...perhaps even her very life, if her foreboding about Urien proves true. Roman by his father, Brytoni by his mother, and denied hereditary rulership of his mother's clan because of his mixed blood, Arthur has followed his father's path to become Dux Britanniarum, the Pendragon: supreme commander of the northern Brytoni army. The Caledonians, Scots, Saxons, and Angles keep him too busy to dwell upon his loneliness...most of the time. When Gyan and Arthur meet, each recognize within the other their soul’s mate. The treaty has preserved Gyan’s ancient right to marry any man, providing he is a Brytoni nobleman—but Arthur does not qualify. And the ambitious Urien, Arthur’s greatest political rival, shall not be so easily denied. If Gyan and Arthur cannot prevent Urien from plunging the Caledonians and Brytons back into war, their love will be doomed to remain unfulfilled forever. But there is an even greater threat looming. The Laird of the Scots wants their land and will kill all who stand in his way. Gyan, Arthur, and Urien must unite to defeat this merciless enemy who threatens everyone they hold dear.

Arthur said, “I advise caution.”

“Caution, indeed.” Urien’s look adopted a hard edge as he ground fist to palm. “I don’t trust these Picts. In fact, I don’t understand why you didn’t obliterate them with Caledfwlch when I”—he stabbed a thumb at his chest—“gave you the chance.”

With effort, Arthur resisted the impulse to touch his sword’s ruby-pommeled hilt, the smith’s inspiration for naming it Caleberyllus, Latin for “Burning Jewel.” After Abar-Gleann, Cai had coined a Brytoni name for Wyllan’s finest creation: Caledfwlch, “Caledonia’s Bane.” It was perfectly apt, and it had almost caused a diplomatic disaster.

He spared a glance for his friends and was thankful they were too far away—and too engrossed with flirting with two more serving women—to have overheard the exchange. Two months was enough time to heal flesh wounds but not enough time to salve Cai’s pride for having to endure Arthur’s public rebuke in order to preserve the fragile peace. He returned his attention to Urien. “Do not forget that your charge was carried out under my orders.”

Urien glared but let the remark pass. “The Picts have been a menace to our borders for time out of mind. Why didn’t you—”

“The same can be said about the Saxons, Angles, and Scots.” These last two Arthur spat like the curses they were to him. The Angli had killed his father. And the Scots… he banished a grisly memory with a long blink. “None of them have demonstrated a willingness to negotiate with us for peace. The Caledonians were willing, and Brydein will be getting a much stronger cavalry as a result.” Arthur grinned. “You should thank them for your promotion.”

Publication Date: June 11, 2013

 “Magnificent.” ~ Kathleen Foley, author of the Faith in Uniform series In a violent age when enemies besiege Brydein and alliances shift as swiftly as the wind, stand two remarkable leaders: the Caledonian warrior-queen Gyanhumara and her consort, Arthur the Pendragon. Their fiery love is tempered only by their conviction to forge unity between their disparate peoples. Arthur and Gyan must create an impenetrable front to protect Brydein and Caledonia from land-lusting Saxons and the marauding Angli raiders who may be massing forces in the east, near Arthur’s sister and those he has sworn to protect. But their biggest threat is an enemy within: Urien, Arthur’s rival and the man Gyan was treaty-bound to marry until she broke that promise for Arthur’s love. When Urien becomes chieftain of his clan, his increase in wealth and power is matched only by the magnitude of his hatred of Arthur and Gyan—and his threat to their infant son. Morning’s Journey, sequel to the critically acclaimed Dawnflight, propels the reader from the heights of triumph to the depths of despair, through the struggles of some of the most fascinating characters in all of Arthurian literature. Those struggles are exacerbated by the characters’ own flawed choices. Gyan and Arthur must learn that while extending forgiveness to others may be difficult, forgiveness of self is the most excruciating—yet ultimately the most healing—step of the entire journey.

THE CLASH OF arms resounds in the torchlit corridor. Blood oozes where leather has yielded to the bite of steel, yet both sweating, panting warriors refuse to relent.

Her heart thundering, Gyan grips her sword’s hilt, desperate to help the man she loves. Caledonach law forbids it.

Urien makes a low lunge. As Arthur tries to whirl clear, the blade tears a gash in his shield-side thigh. The injured leg collapses, and Arthur drops to one knee. Crowing triumphantly, Urien raises his sword for the deathblow.

Devil take the law!

Gyan springs to block the stroke. Its force jars her arms and twists the hilt in her grasp. She barely holds on through the searing pain.

Urien slips past her guard to slice at her brooch. The gold dragon clatters to the floor. Her cloak slithers to her ankles, fouling her stance. As she tries to kick free, Urien grabs her braid, jerks up her head, and kisses her, hard. Shock loosens her grip. Her sword falls. She thrashes and writhes, but he holds her fast, smirking lewdly.

“You are mine, Pictish whore.”

Urien’s breath reeks of ale and evil promises. She spits in his face. He slaps her. She reels backward, her cheek burning. He grabs her forearms and yanks her close.

“Artyr, help me!”

No response.

The Dragon's Dove Chronicles Book 3

 Print Length: 415 pages

Publisher: Pendragon Cove Press

Publication Date: March 11, 2019

 Outcast, clanless, and but a junior officer in Arthur the Pendragon’s army, Angusel struggles to rebuild the life stolen from him through betrayal by the person he had held most dear. His legion allegiance thrusts him onto the campaign trail as one of Arthur’s forward scouts, stalking Angli troops and being among the first to clash with these vicious enemies at every turn. But the odds loom high against him and his sword-brothers, and they will need a miracle just to survive. Pressured to make the best choice to ensure her clan’s future leadership, Eileann struggles with her feelings for Angusel, whose outcast status makes him forbidden to her as a mate. When Angli treachery threatens everyone she loves, she vows to thwart their violent plan to conquer her clan. But she is no warrior, she has no soldiers to command, and she will need a miracle just to survive. How can one soldier make a difference? How can one woman save her kin and clan? In the crucible of combat, Angusel must surrender to the will of the gods, and Eileann must invoke divine power to forge the most dangerous warrior the world has ever known.

“Where is the brush?” Eileann asked, as much to forestall the inevitable as to seek an answer.

A heartbeat later, she chided her fear. Outcast or not, Clan Tarsuinn needed him.

Them.

“No brush. The anointing is as much about the connection between the anointer and the anointed as it is about the connection between the anointed and the gods. Use your finger, like this.”

Neoinean dipped Eileann’s index finger into the dye, tapped the excess on the rim, and guided it to sketch the shape of a salmon on Angusel’s forehead, near the hairline. Eileann felt a wee tingle as she completed the fish. His surprised expression told her he had felt it too.

“Now state to the anointed the god-mark you have drawn and its purpose.” Neoinean stepped away and regarded Eileann, cocking an eyebrow as the silence stretched.

Eileann cleared her throat and gazed at Angusel. “The salmon of Clota. For wisdom.” She wasn’t sure how a warrior fighting in the throes of battle frenzy could exercise wisdom, but she was not going to cast doubt upon her teacher’s example or the purpose the goddess had revealed.

Angusel bobbed his head, his curly black hair obscuring the fish.

Palms angled upward, Fioruisge changed the chant to echo Eileann’s words and embellish them, begging for the goddess’s gift to be bestowed upon the anointed.

“Use what you know of the gods and their abilities, my lady,” said Neoinean, “to draw their marks upon the anointed where you believe those divine gifts will benefit him the most.”

“Please draw the god-marks so that my armor hides them.” Angusel glanced at Neoinean, uncertainty creasing the salmon. “Does the anointing permit this?”

“It does,” stated the apothecary.

“They are meant to be seen!” Eileann itched to shake sense into him, but touching the anointed was forbidden save to craft the god-marks. “How will the gods find you if you hide the marks?”

“The anointed does not wish to offend those who have rejected him, and that is a worthy consideration.” Her teacher, apparently exempt from the touching stricture, patted Eileann’s shoulder. To her surprise, Fioruisge wove Neoinean’s words into the chant. “Fear not, child. The gods will see the marks as you draw them, and they shall not forget. Priests and warriors may choose to make their god-marks permanent, but the rite does not require it.”

Eileann inclined her head at Angusel. “As you will, then.”

Behind shuttered eyelids, she cast about for an image to draw and received a double blessing. Upon opening her eyes, she asked Angusel to lift his arms so she could anoint his biceps. The sketches looked crude, childish, and incomplete. She prayed for them to work; she hoped that the longer and stronger tingling was a sign that they would. “The bull of Lugh on your sword arm for strength, and the stag of Cernunnos on your shield arm for cunning.”

Fioruisge added Eileann’s pronouncements, raising her arms higher with each new verse.

Whatever concoction Neoinean had given Eileann must have taken full effect. In swift succession she drew the spear and rod of Nemetona on Angusel’s right thigh for fierceness, the mare of Epona on his left thigh for speed, and the sun of Lord Annaomh over his heart.

“For hope,” she told him about the sun, and wondered at the word choice the god had inspired. The sun of Annaomh represented justice, leadership, and truth. Lord Annaomh was revered for those traits, as were the warriors who honored him. And yet hope was appropriate, since the strengthening sun delivered salvation from winter’s grip, and the Lord of Light embodied salvation from the eternal ravages of his twin brother, Annàm, and the evil Samhraidhean.

Angusel beamed without touching her, as was proper for this phase of an tùs. The time for their touching would come, but not soon enough for Eileann’s liking.

The final image burned into her brain and killed her swelling excitement.

She gasped, fist to mouth.

“What is it, child?” asked Neoinean.

“A mark I dare not draw upon the anointed,” Eileann whispered. That the image was unlike any she had seen for this god represented the least of her worries. “I fear what it may do to him—to us both.”

Hi!  I do indeed have a bunch that aren’t on AO3 (or were posted on tumblr individually)!  While AO3 has definitely become the go-to archive for fandom these days, there’s a fair amount that never got ported over because it was in its infancy during some of the writing or some of it just straight up predates AO3, since it was written around the time AOTC/ROTS came out.  A lot has been lost to time/Livejournal purges, but there’s still some to be found there that’s not on AO3 (and I wish was just for permanence’s sake/easier mobi/epub reading!) that I liked. Most of it is shorter pieces or pwp fic or a couple of fics that I'll recommend just for pre-slash/"you can read it into them if you want" feelings that did a <i>lot</i> to jump me onto this ship.  And YMMV because a lot of this is older fic, so TCW didn't exist at the time of a lot of these, but it's all stuff I found to be enjoyable to read! (You have no idea how hard it was not to start adding in some of my favorites, because I kep thinking, "I know this absolutely brilliant fic that fits this category, it's so perfectly characterized and so worth reading and-- oh, right, it's on AO3, so they'd have seen it.  orz") STAR WARS / OBIKIN FIC RECS NOT ON AO3: HEART-WARMING GOODNESS: ✦ untitled by likealeafonthewind, obi-wan/anakin, 2.5k ✦ untitled by glare-gryphon, obi-wan/anakin, 1.1k ✦ untitled by darthrevaan, obi-wan/anakin, 1k ✦ untitled by themoosejthm, obi-wan/anakin/padme, nsfw, 1.1k ✦ I Promise by Ani2320, obi-wan/anakin, 3.4k ✦ Pollination by calmer-sky, obi-wan/anakin, 1.7k ✦ Pillow Fight by Liana-chan, obi-wan/anakin, ~1k ✦ untitled by gaealynn, obi-wan/anakin, mild bondage, 1.9k ✦ Untitled part 1 + part 2 by glare-gryphon, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, a/b/o, 2.4k ✦ Cuddle by Captain Starseeker, obi-wan/anakin, 1k RIDICULOUSLY SATISFYING RESOLUTION: ✦ untitled by frost-and-stars, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, ~1k ✦ untitled by skywalker-anakin, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, ~1k ✦ untitled by gaealynn, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 1.3k ✦ What You Take With You by jedishampoo, obi-wan/anakin + palpatine, NSFW, 4.8k ✦ What You Seek by imadra-blue, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 1.9k ✦ The Greatest Jedi in the Temple by Wyndmir, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 3.4k ✦ Something for the Weekend by calmer_sky, obi-wan/anakin + obi-wan/anakin/padme, NSFW, 4.1k ✦ The Problem at Hand by Alby, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 5.2k ✦ Patience by sanestlunatic, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 1.7k ✦ The Master and His Padawan by Lola Four One, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 2.8k ✦ Follow the Leader by Alby, obi-wan/anakin (background mention of obi-wan/qui-gon), NSFW, 7.4k ✦ Ask Me No Questions by XtinethePirate, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 4.4k ✦ prompt: wingman by Glare, obi-wan/anakin & cast, human au, nsfw, 1.1k ✦ untitled by subskywalker, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, d/s, bondage, ~1k ✦ untitled by bcdroom, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, spanking, ~1k HERE, HAVE SOME FEELINGS: ✦ Compromise by babel, obi-wan/anakin, nsfw, 1.3k ✦ That I Never Had by illstarred, obi-wan/anakin, mildly nsfw, teenager!anakin, 2.7k ✦ untitled by likealeafonthewind, obi-wan/anakin(/padme) & sidious, 1.5k ✦ late night under the stars + angsty fight by writegowrite, obi-wan/anakin, ~1k ✦ untitled by writegowrite, obi-wan/anakin, ~1k ✦ Reunion by writegowrite, obi-wan/anakin, ~1k ✦ Return by writegowrite, obi-wan/anakin, amnesia, 1.2k ✦ untitled by lurkingcrow, obi-wan/anakin, sith!obi-wan, ~1k ✦ untitled by bedlamsbard, obi-wan/anakin, 2.9k ✦ shall we go again?

[sage-nebula]

pokemon (games) and/or pokeani for the meme?

I’ll go ahead and answer for the anime, since although I prefer the games, I think the anime works better for memes like this.

the first character i ever fell in love with:

Ash Ketchum, way back in 1998. He was pretty much an instant fave for me, and no doubt contributed to my love of snark and sass (given that his name could have just as easily been Sass Ketchum and would have arguably been more accurate).

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Manon. I liked her well enough at first, but the way her stans constantly bashed and degraded Alan while using that degradation to prop Manon up (often by making him her trophy boyfriend, which is really disgusting when you consider not only the age, but the maturity difference between them) quickly ruined any fondness I had for her. The fact that she got off scot-free in the show without having to realize or own up to any of her own mistakes or shortcomings (while Alan took the fall for all of them instead) didn’t help.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Mmm, I can’t really think of anything for this one. I don’t think there’s anything that I used to seriously ship in this show that I don’t ship now. There are casual ones I can think of that I no longer even casually ship, but even those were more of a shrug and acceptance rather than something I actively liked.

my ultimate favorite character™:

ALAN [SYCAMORE], FIRST OF HIS NAME, HEART OF A CHAMPION, SOUL OF A DRAGON. It’s honestly no contest. I cannot think of a single character in the whole of the PokéAni that could come even close to comparing with him. I still block on sight for any nonsense hatred or condemnation thrown his way, and I regret nothing. 

prettiest character:

I mean … I know I’m biased, but …

My valiant dragon son is beautiful. I mean, in particular, his eyes …

He has dragon fire in his eyes. You don’t get much prettier than that.

my most hated character:

Paul. He’s straight up abusive to his pokémon, and him learning to give them the absolute bare minimum of care and praise at the end of a match (or losing to Ash at the League, which I literally do not care about at all) is not enough for him to curry favor or earn forgiveness in my eyes. He can go burn, and for that matter, he can take that bastard Damian from the OS right along with him as he does.

my OTP:

Ash/Misty will always be endgame to me, as well as Jessie/James. 

I do think that it’s probable that Ash and Misty would end up dating other people as they grow older—that Ash would date Dawn for a while, for instance, and that Misty would have a relationship with Lana—but at the end of it all I think they’d find their way back to each other, once they’ve grown up and matured and realized that, while their first crushes on each other might have been puppy love back when they were kids, now that they’re older … it’s deeper and more meaningful than that. It’s real.

As for Jessie/James, I think those two are soulmates, however you want to interpret it. Maybe their relationship stays platonic forever. Maybe their relationship is romantic. Maybe their relationship floats in a nebulous space between platonic and romantic, undefined as Meowth rolls his eyes from the other side of the balloon. Whatever the case, I don’t really care as long as they’re together. That’s what matters most.

my NOTP:

Aside from the obvious ones of bestiality, incest, and pedophilia, my answer to this would have to be Alan/Manon. I never liked it to begin with because of the age / maturity gap between them (honestly, Manon acts like Bonnie, the show parallels her to Bonnie, and Alan is so mature people often mistake him for an adult despite Malva referring to him as a boy, how is this even a question), but between how the show handled their relationship and how the ship’s stans (who are always Manon stans, from my experience) handle it / treat Alan, I honestly want to scrape my brain out with an ice pick every time I’m reminded this ship exists. It’s a trashboat of epic proportions as far as I’m concerned.

favorite episode:

It’s less one single episode, and more one trio of episodes: OS022 - OS024, a.k.a. “Abra and the Psychic Showdown”, “The Tower of Terror”, and “Haunter vs. Kadabra.” Those three episodes left a major lasting impression on me as a kid, in a good way. That depiction of Sabrina as a villain with a creepy monotone, who had a small “doll” that represented her childlike innocence (that was still villainous in her innocence!), and the way she presented a formidable threat that no one else in the series had managed until that point … not to mention the backstory with how she drove her own parents away (and turned her own mother into a doll), how she was always waiting for her father to show himself again, how she drove herself to that point by obsessing over her powers (I would too, ngl) … man. I loved everything about that trio of episodes. I still love that trio of episodes. There are quite a few episodes in the OS that I turn to regularly whenever I just need something to watch, but I think those three are extra special.

saddest death:

LATIOS IN THE GUARDIANS OF ALTO MARE. At first I was like, “wait, did anyone who wasn’t a villain ever even permanently die?” AND THEN I REMEMBERED LATIOS AND HAD TO CLUTCH AT MY HEART FOR A SECOND. RIP LATIOS, YOU ARE MISSED.

favorite season:

It’s a tie between the very first season (Kanto), and the second season (Orange Islands). While both had their faults, what I like most about those two seasons that latter seasons (even in the OS, with Johto!) lack is how organic they feel. Kanto especially was created before the Pokémon Anime really decided on its identity, and chose a formula to stick to for successive seasons, most likely because they weren’t sure they were even going to get successive seasons back when they were making it (the series was supposed to end with Mewtwo Strikes Back, after all). As a result of this, we had some truly original episodes. We had the three episodes with Sabrina that I mentioned above, but we also had episodes like “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak” with a Gastly that could talk for reasons unexplained and who impersonated humans to keep a dead girl’s legend alive; we had episodes like “Mystery at the Lighthouse” with a giant Dragonite that was never explained or seen again (also, still mad at Team Rocket to this day for attacking that poor baby); we had episodes like “Electric Soldier Porygon” where everyone traveled into the internet with Porygon to stop a computer virus (and give 800+ Japanese children seizures, but that wasn’t supposed to be part of it); and we had episodes like “Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon” where Ash discovered that a bunch of fossil pokémon were living underground and, in the process of all this, almost got eaten by an Aerodactyl. And the Orange Islands, while slightly more tame, was similarly allowed to be pretty free and fun given that it didn’t follow the badge quest formula, and the Orange Islands weren’t drawn from the games, meaning that the anime team could do whatever they wanted with them. So between the anime not yet having a set formula in season one, and the anime being set somewhere completely new in season two, seasons one and two of the PokéAni had plots that were basically like:

That was every day in the first two seasons of the PokéAni, because the first two seasons of the PokéAni were already so goddamn weird, and they were better off for it.

Aside from how weird and strange the plot could get, though, I also feel that the first season especially felt a lot more organic than even the second because the effects of the journey were regularly shown on the main characters. They were lost pretty much all the time (which is why they needed to keep Tracey for Johto, tbqh; he was the only one who had a sense of direction). They were often dirty and longing for baths and laundromats. In “Wake Up Snorlax” they’re out of food and practically crying as the town they reach doesn’t have anything to offer them because it’s been so long since they’ve eaten. Ash, Brock, and Misty are two children and a teenager traveling across the continent by themselves. It makes sense that they wouldn’t always have a nice place to sleep, that they’d run out of food, that they’d be grimy and exhausted a good deal of the time, especially since they’re always lost. (They were lost for like 70% of the first season istg. The narrator even lampshades when it takes them two weeks to reach Vermilion City and they all cheer.) I really liked how the first season in particular showed them tired, grody, hungry, and lost for a good portion of the journey. It felt so much more realistic than the perfect, spotless journeys that came later on.

least favorite season:

Outside of Alan and everything to do with him, I’m not much of a fan of Kalos. I’m also not really a fan of Alola because I don’t think slice of life really suits this series as much as the adventure genre does, but it had some good cameo episodes and also has Gladion, so it has its good points, too.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:

Paul and Manon. Paul in particular is incredibly popular and I will never understand it.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:

Honestly, I’m not sure? I think the closest I get to this is Jessie and James, since they’re two grown adults constantly stalking and bullying a ten year old boy, which would be insanely worrying if not for the fact that said ten year old put them in their place literally every other day. (Plus I like to think they actually do really care about him at this point. It’s what I’d like to believe, anyway.) Maybe Cassidy and Botch would be better contenders, though. They have no redeeming qualities, they’re just assholes, but I’d still be super mega excited to see them come back.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:

ALAN deserves better than all he has suffered, and definitely deserves better than this goddamn unappreciative fandom. He is a burned cinnamon roll, been through hell and back, slightly charred, and he deserves the world.

Apart from him, though, Ash every time he gets put through some hell because of fate or destiny or legendaries or whoever the hell has decided to mess with him this week. After everything that went down in Kalos, can we really blame him for going to Alola for a vacation? And yet he’s STILL pulled into Ultra Wormhole nonsense! My god, just let this poor boy rest, he deserves it!!

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:

Listen, I’m not one of those fools that thinks it’s canon, but I always loved the fic trope of Giovanni being Ash’s father because he and Delia had a fling way back in the day and I am grateful to that awful musical for giving it to us. The angst potential is real for this one, and I also like the idea of Giovanni allowing Jessie and James to chase Ash all over creation despite how it completely tanked their careers and potential not just because it “keeps them out of the way,” but also because it’s a way for him to keep an eye on his son without them ever knowing that’s his son. There’s some good fic potential there.

On a more serious note, while I don’t think it’s “wrong,” or “nasty,” or “makes me want to cleanse my soul,” I’ve always kind of shipped Spencer/Delia, too. The idea of Spencer Hale and Delia Ketchum finding love together later in life, and Ash and Molly becoming step-siblings as a result, is one that warms my heart. I know that Molly’s mother comes back at the end of Spell of the Unown, but … well, that was just a post-credits scene and so it’s easy to ignore. Come on, let Ash have a little step-sister. Let Molly have the mother she always wanted. It’s what they deserve.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:

I wouldn’t say I’m highkey invested in any romantic ship in this show, haha. I mean, let’s be honest, it’s not like any of them have a chance at development outside of small hints here or there, you know? So there’s no reason to get all up in a twist about it. So I think that most ships I ship could fall into this category. Cute, but no need to make a fuss about them.

Chasing a Scammander ch6

Newt's POV

The first thing he noticed about his client was that his magic was warm. It was the sheer freezing cold he was used to. His own magic reached out in kind. There had never been a time where his magic reached out to another's like this.

A flash of yellow above their heads drew his attention. Rocks rained down upon them and he shouted bringing up his arm forcing his magic outwards as a shield, "Amourbrand!"

A golden shield formed around them protecting the two wizards from the rocks. Men and women in suits closed off their exit. A tall blond haired man came forward. He had hazel eyes that bore into Newt's own green ones.

The man inquired with a roll of his hazel eyes, "Lambert again? What is with you and destroying my bases, hmmm? Care to leave me my prisoner, Lambert? Do that and you can walk out of here scot free. Your center was destroyed so you can't fight us all and survive."

If this had been just a month ago Grier would have been right. With Murasame at his side however he could do anything.

Pulling Lindorm from his pocket he grinned, "I think not, Grier," to G he said, "Stay behind me. When I say run. Run."

He didn't wait for a reply instead he dropped the shield. He called out before they could reach, "With me, Lindorm!"

Newt made a mental note to thank the American wizard. It was that chase that gave his center time to rebuild in preparation for battle. The stretching his powers had done were perfect.

The half wolf half dragon came out of an amber seal. It looked back at him with a grin. They were both ready for a fight.

Seekere were a rare breed when it came to wizards. Whether they liked to fight or not they all felt the need to. As a wizard, Newt Scammander was a pacifist. He hated fighting.

As a seeker, Lukas Lambert could not ignore the call in his blood. There was nothing like the thrill of battle. Unlike many in his world he would not abuse his titans. Much like the creatures in his case he took care of them. He was a certified rehabilitation specialist for the Huntik Foundation.

After having his center destroyed he actively avoided battles. If he overdid it, it would have killed him. Now he was paying for that for he could not avoid the need to fight any longer.

Grier sighed before placing his hand on the amulet on top of his uniform, "Very well then. Subdue them, Breaker!"

A giant bear like titan came out. It had gold and leather armor protecting its body. Redcaps and Mindrones were summoned next. Newt knew he would have to be careful here. A cut would cause Murasame to come out. No one, not even the the Organization wanted that.

His charge did exactly as he said and stayed behind him. With the use of Overslam and Nimblefire they were able to break the line. Newt covered the man as they made a run for the outside.

Organization suits as a whole were undertrained lackies. Unless they were Grier's then it was a toss up. Unfortunately for them they had Grier to contend with as well.

Grier who once again blocked their path. Newt sighed it seemed they really wanted to keep this man. So be it. He still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

His green eyes glowed blue as his power activated. Newt called out, "Bladecall!"

A quicksilver blade landed in his hands. His bond with Pendragon sung with contentment.

Grier's eyes widened with surprise. He knew what the blade was and who it held. Would he take his chances with a Legendary Titan? They all knew that without the professor, the Organziation didn't stand a chance against Pendragon.

Grier held out his arm to stop the others. He growled, "We have lost here. Should he be able to summon the titan within that sword we would be unable to stop it. Let them through."

"But sir!"

Grier barked, "That's an order."

The suits made a path for them. Their eyes dark with suspicion. Newt kept a tight hold on the Willblade. It was a Castorwill artificat that the Organization had been after for centuries.

G asked his mismatched eyes watching as they carefully made their way outside, "Are you sure we can trust them?"

He answered as they hit fresh air, "They are a bunch of bastards but its Grier leading them. He's an honorable man despite who he is affiliated with."

Still he could feel the wards preventing both seeker and wizard travel out. It seemed he would have to break those first if he wanted to leave.

He held out his right arm as he shifted the Willblade to his left and shouted, "Murasame, come forth!"

A purple seal formed on his arm. Red membranes in the shapes of wings came from the seal. They were followed quickly by a head. As if the membranes were punctured they exploded causing G to jump back. Instead of blood and tissue blacker than midnight feathers littered the ground. A crow perched itself on his arm.

G inquired peering at it curiously, "What is that?"

Ignoring the question he said, "Murasame see if you can break through the barrier."

"Roger," came its reply.

Unlike most titans Murasame was capable of human speech. Of course he knew the real reason behind that. One that he had not told anyone including Dante.

Murasame was not in fact a titan at all. Instead he was a demon confined to the form of a sword. At least until an unfortunate soul unsealed it taking the demon into their own body. Most did not survive the process but Newt's determination to live saw him through it.

Flashback

Newt lay bleeding out on the ground. His entire right side was torn to shreds from an attack he didn't even see. Around him the bodies of the men from the Organization. It saddened him to see them like that. Harrison didn't like them but he didn't want to see them dead.

A shadow came over him making the man look up. A blond man stood over him. It was a color of blond that he almost mistook the man for a Malfoy. Then again what would a Malfoy be doing there? They didn't exactly like him when he was in school.

The man inquired sounding genuinely curious in his hands was a sword, "Do you wish to live?"

He tried to sit up only to collapse back down. The red bead he always carried with him fell from his pocket. The blond's eyes watched it roll with a look of surprise and intrigue.

Newt coughed painfully as the world turned fuzzy, "I think that's a given. This wound is fatal however. If it doesn't kill me then my center will soon enough."

His last hope was on a titan that it turned out wasn't even there. So many lives lost for nothing.

The blond replied holding out the sword he held, "Would you be willing to take a demon into your body? To throw away all possibilities of a normal life?"

Newt's didn't reply with words. Instead he used the last of his waning strength to grasp the hilt and pull. It came free immediately and at first nothing happened. Then a dark shadow came from the hilt and began to encircle him.

A pain like he had not felt before ecompossed him. It took all of his willpower not to cry out.

A voice growled, "Who dares try to awaken me?! I'm waiting for Shino to return. He promised that when he came back we would go for barbeque. He will come back. He promised!"

The last two parts were near hysterical as if the titan had a hard time believing it. Newt's heart went out to the lonely titan. He knew what it was like to be lonely. To long for a promise that was most likely long forgotten.

He rasped, "I might not be this Shino person but if you can help me I swear we will go have some barbeque. I don't want to die but you are my final hope. My name is Newt Scammander. What's yours?"

The dark shadow began to twist and turn. He could feel it testing the truthfulness of his promise. Testing his very soul.

It then began to form into a true shape and body. To Newt's immense surprise it became a bird. More specifically it became a crow. Black eyes met his green and a flare of hope entered the black eyes.

It said, "Shino... it's you. You finally kept your promise," it nuzzled where his neck and shoulder met. The loneliness fading from its voice as it said, "I missed you, Shino. You were gone for so long. You dont even remember me and you hurt again. I'll make you better then we can go eat."

End of flashback

Being the creature that he was Murasame flew head first into the barrier. When he hit it, it shattered and gave Newt the moment he needed. Grabbing the man's arm he apparated them away.

Chronicles of the Not-WoL-- First Meeting (Amended version)

(For various reasons, I decided to change up the MC of this story as it would fit the narrative I’m going for much better. Anette is still just to be a support character for the WoL, not the WoL themselves.)

Cold. Coerthas was cold. It didn’t help much that she was sitting in the dungeons, clapped in irons. At least there were other bodies around. Men and women who had been captured along with her. They all huddled together, body pressed against body to keep warm. This wasn’t an entirely unexpected predicament though, Anette ruminated. Ishgardians were a tough breed, forged by centuries of war. What had any of them been thinking when they decided to try and waylay a merchant’s caravan?

Well, Anette knew what she had been thinking. Probably much the same as many of the others were thinking. Faced with discrimination of varying sorts, they had found it hard to come across honest jobs that paid fair wages. Some had mouths at home to feed and spending weeks or months waiting for a single paying job was out of the question. So many of them had turned into mercenaries and thugs, taking on jobs that would net them small fortunes in one fell swoop.

Letting out a long sigh, Anette stood and wandered over to the bars of the cell, letting out a short whistle to catch the guard’s attention. He tossed her a suspicious glare as she beckoned him over and made his way over cautiously, hand on the hilt of his sword.  

“Wot? Wot you want, eh?” He loomed over her, spitting his words out in annoyance.

Glancing upwards at her captor, Anette lowered her voice so that no one but he could hear. “I want to speak with the person in charge. I’ll tell everything about the bandit group, including where to find them, what their base is like, and anything else. But only if I speak to the person in charge.” The guard looks at her dubiously for a moment and Anette shrugs her shoulders. “Look, I’ve got no weapon, I’m clapped in irons, and ain’t got nothing to gain by lyin’. Ain’t trying to damn myself worse than I already am, you savvy?”

The guard eyes her a few moments longer before grunting and nodding his head. “Fine. I’ll pass along the message. No promisin’ he’s gunna want to see you though.” He lifts the corner of his lip to snort his nose before pulling away and calling for a messenger.  

Some time later, two impeccably dressed guards enter the dungeons and approach the cell that Anette sits huddled in. Beckoning her over to them, she approaches and they open the door for her. Setting themselves on either side of her, they march the Elezen woman through the courtyard of Camp Dragonhead and into the Intercessory. Once inside, she’s shown to a large table where an Elezen man with silver hair and sky blue eyes sits, waiting for her. Politely he gestures to the seat across the table from him, a gentle smile on his lips. Gratefully, Anette accepts the offer and settles herself down into the chair, placing her hands in her lap.

The man looks at the other two guards and with a playful smirk and a shrug of his shoulders, addresses them. “Come now. Certainly we can be civil and remove the lady’s cuffs?”

“But, Lord Haurchefant--”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” He clicks his tongue and shakes his head. “She did not go through the trouble of asking for a meeting with me only to attack now. I’m sure even she knows that would be tantamount to signing her death warrant.”

The two exchange looks of wariness and exasperation before acquiescing to their lord’s command. Reaching out, they unlock the irons around Anette’s wrists and then take a few steps back, taking post just a few steps behind her seat.

Haurchefant turns his smile back onto Anette and pushes a large, steaming mug towards her. “Hot cocoa. Nothing soothes and refreshes quite like it and I daresay you’ve not had much of anything, being cooped up in those cells.”

Gan eyed the cocoa warily for a moment before reaching out and taking a tentative sip. The warm beverage rolled over her tongue, sweet and calming as she swallowed. Of course, she’d had hot cocoa before, but something about this mug of it was different--better, even.

“Woah.” She blinked down into her drink before looking back up at the man called Haurchefant. A broad grin was plastered on his face as he took a sip of his own cocoa, cradling the mug in both hands. “This is… amazing. I’ve not had cocoa this good ever. Thank you.”

“Ah, such flattery!” Haurchefant says with an even wider grin. “My heart is soothed to know that I have brought even an onze of light into your eyes. But alas, we are here for business are we not? So, pray tell me--what is it that you wished to discuss Mistress…?”

“Anette. Anette Vallot” She filled in the gap and dipped her head reverently, though mostly to momentarily hide the blush that had begun to creep into her cheeks. Speaking in a formal tone, she explained. “And I came to divulge the whereabouts, as well as makeup of the bandits and their headquarters. Though, before I do so, I wanted to strike a bargain with you, work out a deal if you’d be amenable to at least listen to what I have to say.”

“Hmm.” Haurchefant looks Anette over for a moment, contemplating. “I’m willing to give ear to your request. Pray, continue.”

“Thank you, my lord.” Anette dips her head again before straightening her posture and settling her ice blue gaze onto Haurchefant. “My lord, many of the men and women who were apprehended at the same time as I, are good people, but who are down on their luck. Many of them come from the poorest parts of Ishgard, or are people who have experience discrimination based on looks, race, or social status. It can make it hard to find a honest, paying job when no one will spare you a second glance.

“By no means, is banditry and thievery an excusable offense and I’m not here to persuade you to think otherwise. But some of these men and women have mouths to feed, people depending on them to scrape together what little coin they can to care for them while they themselves cannot. Oft times, one resorts to the most drastic of options in the most dire of circumstances.

“I’ve not asked to speak with you in hopes that you’ll let them off scot free. That would be irresponsible as they’d most likely return to a life of crime. I also know that not all of these individuals are as upstanding as I’ve laid things out to be. Surely, there are men and women amongst the bandits who do misdeeds for the sake of doing them. I feel, however, that it would be wholly irresponsible to condemn a group of mostly innocent souls in order to mete justice upon the few who truly are wicked.

“And so my lord, I bring forth this proposition to you. That you visit the dungeons and offer redemption to those who wish for it. Propose to them, that they might pay for their crimes by serving as soldiers for Ishgard. It needn’t pay overmuch, just enough to put bread on the table of those who need it most. In return, you gain more bodies in the defense of Ishgard, especially considering how often dragons attack.

“I think you’ll find that plenty would be willing to jump on the opportunity to work a respectable job. And if they are incapable of fighting, find other places to put them. The kitchen, the infirmary, the archives. Anywhere, but offer the chance for salvation instead of condemning them all.” Finished with her plea, Anette clasps her hands together in her lap and bows her head in submission.

Silence fills the room for what feels like an eternity as Anette stares down at her hands. It breaks only when Haurchefant lets out a thoughtful hum.

“Hmm.” Anette lifts her gaze to see Haurchefant studying her curiously. “So, you’ve come to plead on behalf of the other prisoners but not yourself?”

“Uh.” She blinks a few times as she struggles to think of what to say.

“Do you not have mouths to feed or loved ones awaiting your return?” He rests his chin on his fist, watching her with a gentle look.

“... No.” She answered after some pause. “My parents were taken from me in the Calamity and I’ve no siblings. Any other family I might have are unknown to me.”

“I see. So you feel there’s no reason to plead for yourself.”

“Aye, my lord. If givin’ myself up means ensurin’ the rest have a chance, I’ll gladly take it.” As she answered, she slipped back to her natural manner of speech.

“That’s a shame. Someone who so gallantly defends the lives of others surely has a worth more than nothing.” With a sigh and clap of his hands on the table, Haurchefant sat back in his seat. Jaw set, he fixated an intense look upon Gan, speaking with a low, commanding tone. “But I cannot accept your offer such as it is.”

“But--” Anette opened her mouth to protest and Haurchefant held up a hand to stop her.

“That doesn’t mean I wont accept it. Just that some of your terms need be adjusted.” He smiled softly at her, propping his elbow on the arm of his chair, face cradled in the palm of his hand. “And this is what I’m proposing; I will indeed speak to the individuals locked in the dungeons, as well as whoever we apprehend with your information. Additionally, you my dear lady…” He pauses and his gentle smile warps into a mischievous smirk. “Will also be granted a choice. It’s clear to me just how noble a soul you are and how determined you are to defend others. I would have you serve as my aide here in Camp Dragonhead. Someone who can provide me with sound counsel and keep in mind circumstances that I cannot see due to my status and upbringing. That is the only way I will accept your terms. I will give you time to consider my offer.” With a nod of his head, Haurchefant moved to stand and Anette reached out to stop him.

“Wait.” She stared at him intensely, trying to figure out his game. But for all her searching, she couldn’t read any tricks in his gaze or mannerisms. “Why? I’m a criminal. Even if I came from Ishgardian nobility, I’d have brought irredeemable shame to my family.”

“Do you really think I care about that?” He tilted his head to the side in curiosity. “I know how close minded our people are. I know just how willing they would be to toss you into the coals. But I am not. I don’t care what you are but who you are. And you my dear woman, have shown a caliber of spirit I have not seen in quite some time. Twould be a shame for you to be locked away or executed when there is so much yet you can do. So much yet that you can give.”

Haurchefant walked around the table to Anette and smiled down at her. Reaching out, he placed a friendly hand on her shoulder and gave her a comforting smile. “The world has taken much from you, and yet you still give. You strive to stand up for others despite what it might cost you. Why not allow someone to give back to you for a change? Only by taking care of yourself might you be able to continue caring for others and do good in this world where so many are beaten down.”

Anette’s eyes went wide with surprise at his words. As Haurchefant removed his hand from her shoulder, she reached out again, grabbing at his wrist to stop him. The sudden movement caused the guards behind her to react, drawing their blades and pointing them at her throat, but she didn’t flinch. Instead she kept her grip, gaze unwavering. Haurchefant lifted a hand to signal to the guards to relax their weapons,  his eyes trained on Anette the entire time, not once breaking line of sight.

“I accept.” She states loud enough for him to hear. “To not only be your aide, but also your blade.” She stands, facing him eye to eye. “I didn’t think you’d want someone like me at your side, so I didn’t think to offer in addition to thinkin’ that I wasn’t worth nothing. But you saying all that makes me want to serve you all the more. So. Lord Haurchefant, if you’ll have me, I’ll devote myself and my fists to your service.”

“My dear…” Haurchefant’s expression shifts from one of surprise to pleasant approval. “I would be more than happy to have you at my side through thick and thin.” His attention shifts to the guards. “Gentlemen, please show Mistress Vallot to my quarters so she might bathe and fetch some clean clothes and food for her.”

“Right away, My lord.” They answered in unison. One scurried away first to find clothes and food, while the other remained at her side, begrudgingly urging her to follow him.

“W-wait a moment.” Anette stops the guard and looks at Haurchefant. “What about my information. I haven’t given it to you yet.”

“Ah yes. Well.” Haurchefant gave her a sheepish smile. “We already had scouts return with all the information we needed and they should be returning shortly with the remaining band of miscreants.”

“What?!” Anette’s jaw nearly hit the floor as the guard began to more insistently usher her out of the Intercessory and towards Haurchefant’s chambers.

“We’ll speak more once you’ve rested my lady!” Haurchefant calls after her, waving cheerily as the door closes.

First lines meme

Tagged by lovely @hardlyfatal for this meme, and following the suit of her interesting and long post. The rules are: List the openings of the last ten stories you published. Look to see if there are any patterns that you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any!

I am tagging fellow writers @asimplylucia , @thefeatherofhope , @zip00198704 , @sarahtheblack , @weshallflyaway ,@bluecichlid and anyone else who feels thus inspired! Hopefully also including some kind of summary of their own conclusions if they see a pattern...

My own observations are that my openings seem to be a bit scattered; several where the actions starts immediately and we catch the characters in the middle of doing something, a few where the character is internally musing about something, and two (for special challenges, I may add) which start with a depiction, in an epistolary-type opening. Conclusions? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This Time, We'll Do Better 

The sounds of someone walking about, scraping noises of the furniture being moved, clink and clatter of something being set on the table, alerted Sansa from her deep slumber.

“Good morning, my lady. I trust your sleep was peaceful?”

She startled awake with a gasp, not only because of the presence of a stranger in the room, in her room, but also because of the odd way that stranger spoke. Formally, deferentially, with an accent that was not from Kings Landing nor from any other region of Westeros Sansa knew of.

Her heart drummed a few extra beats as her eyelids fluttered open – and then another realisation hit her. She was – as a matter of fact – not in her room. Not in her bedroom in her family’s comfortable house in White Harbour, nor in her modest hotel room on the foothills of Visenya’s Hill in King’s Landing.  She was…

Gods!

Horrified after latching on the last recollection of her still foggy mind Sansa shot up, expecting to see a disapproving frown of a museum guard directed at her. Instead, all she saw was a freckled face of a young girl dressed in a period costume, pouring water from a jug to a basin resting on a side table against the wall. At her sudden movement, the girl turned to her and smiled, a hesitant smile but one that looked genuine nonetheless.

In the Quiet of the Night, Candour

“Scheiße!” Lord John Grey muttered as he examined the rapidly swelling bruise in his left ankle. It already showed a distinctive shade of red, radiating from the ankle bone and promising to develop into a spread of interesting hues from purple to blue to yellow.

“Heiliger Strohsack!” he said a bit louder, attracting the attention of Jamie Fraser, who was cleaning sand and mud from his boots just a small distance away. It hurt, it hurt bloody much, and despite having endured worse Grey closed his eyes and hissed through his teeth. The Scot’s only reaction to this unusually unrefined show of displease –amplified by the use of German swearwords, exclusively reserved to most dire adversities - resulted however in no more than a raised eyebrow before he got back to his task.

And it had all gone so well up until – well, until things have started to go bad.

I’ll Share My Secrets If You Share Yours

Arya heard her coming; soft shuffle of steps, leather slippers against the stone floor. She heard everything and everyone, everywhere. Never would she be taken unawares again, never would she be in a situation not knowing who was near her, in the other room, in the castle, in the yard.

Sometimes it tired her – being alert at all times and never letting her guard down. At other times she was glad of her training and how it had become her second nature.

Safer that way.

“What are you thinking?”

Sansa smelled of herbs and flour and a log fire burning in the big ovens of Winterfell kitchens. Her tone was uncertain, guarded, but still, she made the effort. Arya respected that even though part of her found it alien. It had been such a long time when anyone had cared about her thoughts or paid attention to her state of being.

The newly established relationship between the sisters was still fragile and they both danced around the tender bond cautiously, willing to move forward but wary of what lay hidden under the surface. Their differences from a long time ago had been forgotten and pushed away like children’s foolish squabbles – which they truly had been – but their paths since then had been so different. What if there was nothing left but a name of their house to join them anymore?

Four Stages of Courtship

Stannis Baratheon shook his head and closed his eyes wearily, hearing the words but not truly registering their meaning. It had been the same that day, long ago, when Robert had told him that he was to forfeit Storm’s End to Renly while being forced to take that sevenforsaken Dragonstone as his own seat. He hadn’t believed him at first, thinking it to be only a distasteful jape at his expense, but when had Robert ever japed about things he wanted to go his way?

Still, surely he had heard her wrong.

Is she mocking me?

Stannis had accepted that this was a situation with no escape. He had fought and lost and now all there was to do was to die with honour. Stoic - he could be stoic. His whole life had prepared him for this moment; to die under a sword of an enemy. He only wondered if it would be a sword, or something more brutal.

He scanned the room and saw the dark-skinned soldiers in spiked caps carrying long spears lining the wall. Would he be subjected to a thrust of a spear instead? Or maybe a noose around his neck? Was he to become fodder for dragons, perhaps?

“I realise my proposal may be surprising to you, but let me assure you it is an honest one.” Her purple eyes fixed on him and Stannis, the man who didn’t shy away from beast nor man, flinched. There was a rare aura of utter self-confidence and certainty radiating from her, the slip of a girl. 

Past Was Such A Long Time Ago

Sandor touched the smooth surface with his fingertips, let them travel down the exposed grain admiring the way the shapes undulated and weaved their way in the wood. He could feel every nick and roughness clearly – he had lost callouses from years of holding a sword and musket already a long time ago, and his hands were now his most sensitive tool of the trade.

They were large and gnarled still; those of a man who works with them every day. Prominent veins formed the web against the backdrop of browned skin dotted with sunspots.

Old man’s hands.

He huffed and got back to work, finishing the already scraped surface into an even finer sheen. Swoosh – swoosh – swoosh, the pumice stone sang against the wood. There was a rhythm to it and he found himself in tune with it, with his body and soul.

It was the same rhythm and flow of peace he had finally found in his life, and his heart sang to its tune. 

A low growl from the floor alerted him and Sandor lifted his head.

“Quiet now, boy.”

The huge black dog sprawled down on his stomach went silent but revealed its teeth and a murmur below human hearing vibrated its chest, making Sandor glance out of the window.

He froze.

There, on the worn path leading to his little hut, walked a woman; tall and proud, carefully coiffed clusters of auburn curls framing her face and cascading down the front of her pale blue silk dress. The face whose features were achingly familiar although it had been a long, long time since he had last laid his eyes on it.

It was her.

Sansa Stark. 

Winter, thy enemy, thy friend

Sandor pushed the door open, the old gnarled wood giving in reluctantly as if wishing to hold on to the secrets it held behind it.

Damp smell, musty whiff. Coarse wooden furniture knocked over, dust settled on surfaces. That mattered not.

His feet felt leaden when he stepped across the threshold and collapsed onto the floor, the girl in his arms almost getting crushed under him. Deep ragged breaths filled his lungs with stale air. Safe.

After gathering his breath for a moment he scrambled onto his knees by pure force of his iron will – the same will that had seen them through the snowstorm and never-ending howling wind. Slowly he climbed to his full height, supporting his weight against the wall. He felt too weak to lift the girl but he dragged her by the shoulders just the same to the pallet at the back of the room. She looked like a broken doll lying there, face paler than snow. Sandor leaned in slightly and saw her lips quivering, her face screwed up in pain or cold or both. 

Good. She is still alive.

Would That She Would Cleanse Me

“What do you plan to do with her, Your Grace?”

Stannis had to duck to avoid being hit in the head by a load of planks carried on the shoulders of a builder, both navigating their way to the opposing directions through the corridors of Red Keep. He took no umbrage at the hapless man though - everyone was busy and the keep was seething activity; men going here and there, carrying things, running errands, shouting, arguing, trying to clean the mess left by the battle.

Yet the overarching impression was order – with a touch of chaos perhaps, but order just the same. And he liked it that way. Stannis was not the kind of war leader who let his men run amok among the conquered. The battle was one thing and ferociousness and mercilessness were to be expected during one, but after it was over, it was time for law and order to return.

Ser Davos Seaworth walked by his side, also ducking and weaving to keep up the pace with his king. They were on their way towards the throne room, where Stannis had called the key members of his council to gather on that first day of his rule.

Stannis of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.

Stannis was not a vain man, but he appreciated the sound of that. Not that it mattered what he thought of it – the kingship was his by law and it was his duty, whether he liked it or not.

Until Thine Will Is Done

*BANG-CLATTER-CLANK*

A loud crash woke Sandor; the clatter and crash of tin mugs and claypots smashing against a stone floor.

He turned on his pallet trying to ignore the racket that followed; cries and shouts, the clumsy servant girl getting dressing down from her elder, and more clinks, rattles and sobs as the wretched wench tried to clean up the mess. Attempting to cling to the vestiges of deep slumber Sandor squeezed his eyes shut and curled his body into a tight coil. Even through the haze between sleep and wakefulness he knew that he didn’t want to wake up just yet.

No more were his nights filled with an abyss of dark horrors and impotent fury, only able to be conquered by stupor from drink or fatigue. These days his sleep was unperturbed, but even after many years the notion was still fresh for him and there were mornings when he woke up slowly, marvelling at the lack of nightmares.

Sometimes he wasn’t sure what to do with himself, with this newfound freedom.

Nonetheless, it was not the leisure of sleep that enticed him this morning, but the dread of the day ahead. Yet it was useless - his senses had been woken and his mind had already started to race ahead like a caged animal. Sandor cursed, pressed his face against the pillow and felt the tension in his muscles increasing until he was taut as a bowstring.

Fuck!

The Great Tournament, The New Noble Brotherhood And The Mystery Of The Missing Lady

It is with Special Pride that The Gazette announces the Beginnings of the Great Tournament to be held at the Gates of the Moon, that most illustrious keep of noble House Arryn.

As we advised our avid readers in our previous Edition, this Prodigious Tournament is devised for the Establishment of a new Brotherhood, the Brotherhood of Winged Knights, to serve the Noble Heir of this ancient house, the Lord of the Vale and the Warden of the East, young Lord Robert Arryn.

It was thus announced that four-and-sixty Knights have been invited to compete for the honour of serving Young Lord Robert in his personal guard, only eight brave Combatants to be afforded this privilege and the Right to bear Falcon’s wings in their war helms and guard their Lord. The competition will undoubtedly be Fierce, and will consist of several days of Jousting, Sword Fighting, Archery and Melee. Nonetheless, even those who shall not receive the Greatest Award will not go empty-handed, as the Lord of Harrenhal, Lord Paramount of the Trident and Lord Protector of the Eyrie and the Vale, Lord Petyr Baelish, has donated heavy purses to the Second-Placed in each Category.

The young Knights of the Vale have endorsed these invitations overwhelmingly and every thus honoured Candidate has accepted the Challenge, and over the last days, these brave young Men have started to arrive in the Place of Festivities.

From Her Lips to His Ears

Act I - SCENE: Kingsroad, somewhere near Trident.

It is morning, the sun still low on the horizon, its warm rays falling on the hive of bustling activity on the ground. A young woman, hardly more than a girl, with delicate features and auburn hair, walks slowly along the side of the road with a huge direwolf following her on a leash. The road is crowded with soldiers, servants, wagons and supply carts, all busily getting ready for yet another day on the road. Dust swirls lazily in the air, raised by the commotion of many feet and wheels.

The girl walks unhurriedly, eyeing the activities curiously but cautiously, stepping aside to avoid a puddle of water spilt by men carrying buckets. The wolf presses her nose against her side and she scratches it behind the ear, talking softly to it as she does so.

A tall, broad-shouldered man clad in half-armour observes her from among the trees, near where the horses are tied up. His face is a ruin, half of it terribly burned, and despite his long dark hair being combed to the burned side to cover it, the sight is gruesome. His eyes are grey and sharp and relentlessly trained on the girl.

As she meanders closer to where the man is standing he squares his shoulders, sets his jaw and walks towards her. At first, the girl doesn’t pay him attention, but when he gets closer she notices him. An unsure beginning of a smile – forced and polite – appears on her face. The man speaks.

“That little sister of yours is getting herself into trouble.”

Series: How to Train Your Dragon / Brave crossover Rating: M Genre: Adventure/Family/Romance

Summary: After Dagur sacrificed himself to save Hiccup and the Riders from Viggo’s trap, he washed up on the shore of a strange island that appeared on no map he’d ever seen. He became fast friends with Merida, Princess of Dunbroch, and lived peacefully in Scotland for three years before Viggo’s appearance with a hoard of dragons at his beck and call turned it all upside down. Hopelessly outmatched, Dagur and Merida realize their only hope for salvation lies with Hiccup and the Riders of Berk.

AN:  Well, this is it, guys, the last of my chapter backlog 8'D From here on out there will no longer be weekly updates! I'll update as I'm able, but I've got a lot of stuff I'm working on so I'll be honest, it's probably gonna be slow going. Hope you stick around, though, and keep the reviews coming! They'll definitely help keep me working on this project, so do yourself a favor and take a minute to tell me what you thought, and/or what your favorite part was!

Heart of a Scot, Soul of a Dragon Chapter Seventeen: The Hooligan’s Brother

At some point during the telling, Dagur's eyes had dropped from the faces of his audience to the fire before him. He stared into it, unseeing as the tale poured out of him like water from an over-full container. He'd only related the story twice before; the full of it to Merida, and then an edited version to her mother and father not long after. He'd meant to give Hiccup and his mother the edited version as well, but the truth spilled out of him unbidden, and the viking found himself quite unable to soften the truth of his experiences at all.

Maybe it was the fact that he had racked up yet another near death experience to his name that did it. Whatever the reason, Dagur didn't notice the distress his story was causing his audience until he paused to take a drink and happened to glance up from the fire. He froze when he met their eyes, mouth full of water that he forced himself to swallow.

[daglout]

wat are some of ur fave fanfics?

I paused Boss Baby to answer this I hope you’re satisfied.

Lmao.

Sadly I don’t read as much fanfic as I used to, and I definitely read less than I want to. I still need to catch up with a LOT of fics, so I’m only going to list what I have caught up with.

Before we begin might I recommend, anyway, Taming A Monster (HTTYD) and Daughter of Death (Mulan) by my friend @missiemoose ?? !?

Okay, now we shall officially begin!

I’ve separated these recs into HTTYD and non-HTTYD.

HTTYD:

Heart of a Scot, Soul of a Dragon by @joliemariella  [Brave/HTTYD crossover—Mericup]  This is my current favorite fanfic of all time! No hyperbole!! The relationship between Merida and Dagur is so wonderful I can’t get enough of these PERFECT BEST FRIENDS! And I just absolutely love how the two worlds are bridged together; nothing feels rushed or out of place, everyone is perfectly in-character and the story never loses its sense of wonder! If you’re a fan of “Brave” and a bigger fan of Dagur (because this is a big Dagur fanfic,) I highly recommend it!

Practically Cliché by @tysonrunningfox  [Modern AU—Erestrid]  The…very first…fanfic I read for HTTYD…….(I’m pretty sure)... Reader beware, Eret is naked 9 times out of 10. This fic is what made me fall in love with Astrid’s character and really start to understand her better. That might be my favorite part of fox’s stories, that she writes Astrid so candidly and in a way that gets her. And also Eret is really hot. This fic is Rated R for Raunchy.

Bring It Back Home also by @tysonrunningfox  [Modern AU—Snotstrid]  BASEBALL SEASON IS SNOTSTRID SEASON AND ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE. I’m serious I can’t look at baseball without thinking of this horribly wonderful story and these silly pictures. I think this is the fic that ruined me. It made me not hate baseball. It gave me a domestic Snotstrid fetish. It’s AMAZING!

Just follow @tysonrunningfox and if you aren’t already, what are you doing. READ ALL HER FICS !! ! !!

No Justice In Secrets by CrawlingFlesh  [Canon Divergence—Daglout]  This very well may be the only proper (as in on a fanfic site) Daglout fanfiction ever to exist. It’s a bit tragic, but I like to imagine a happy epilogue.

You’re Everything I Want (And Nothing I Can Keep) by @wilderwestqueen  [Modern AU—Hiccstrid]  What can I say, I’m a sucker for helpless pining and fake relationships! This fic gives me all the Hiccstrid I could ask for and more. Even more Hiccstrid. It’s so much. It’s just like that tub of homemade frosting I made so I could eat it all but it’s too sweet to consume it ALL AT ONCE like I had planned. I mean, I want to consume it all right now, I really do, but is it healthy for me?? No. I do it anyway. ..What were we talking about?

Gift Of A Mother by GreatMarta  [Canon Divergence]  I know AU’s where Hiccup runs away during the first movie are popular, but this fic satisfies the need I always have for stories about Valka coming back to Berk. I’m always way more interested in how people who have lived in nature adapt back to a human way of life, and I want to explore Valka’s life on Berk! And with Jorgenson family feels and Smallcup, this is the perfect place for me to settle right in.

Every Nest Has Its Queen by Palus_Heimalis  [Canon Divergence]  ANOTHER VALKA-FOCUSED FIC!! That’s right, because they’re all good. And this one is especially good because she’s a transwoman now. Oh yeah. Can’t take that away from me!!!!!!!

Hallow’s Eve by @maedarakat  [Modern+Fantasy AU—Tuffgur]  Who knew being a werewolf fit Dagur so well? We knew. We all knew, deep down. Maybe this is more of a seasonal fic for some people, who are cowards and fools and keep Halloween to a specific month of the year. That’s not how I live!! The Tuffnut/Dagur content in this fic is  #Prime  and completely appreciated.

And you should follow @maedarakat if you’re a fan of the Thorston twins, because he posts like…all the best and most quality content for those rascals. If I could, and it’s only me stopping me, I would go through his whole archive and link every ficlet. But I need to finish watching Boss Baby and it’s already 4 AM.

Non-HTTYD:

Aftermath by @barduil —  Look. … . ..I can’t leave the 2016 remake of “Beauty and the Beast” behind me, try as I might, and GaFou is JUST the hill I will die on. This is the fanfic that helps me COPE.

Beauty and the Biryani by EmpressIrony —  Okay. You might not understand the reason why this exists. It’s born from a sort of… Well, you had to be there. And you can’t now. We can never go back. This was built from the blogging of Nella’s hilarious and excruciating journey through “The Tiger’s Curse” novel, which was all on a site that is long gone. In its time, fans of her blog were writing fanfics in response to posts and others comments (usually from Goodreads forums. God…good times. I even had my own fic from this event). I think this fic stands on its own as a cute romance. There is quite an age difference, though! So if you’re not into that, skip!!

The Fountain’s Promise by last place — Just a really niche fic that stuck with me forever. When I looked up the “Western” genre in the Death Note archive once and really late into a school night, I wasn’t actually looking for something great, but greatness was waiting! This fanfic delves into Morality and Fate, those nonsense concepts all the best Death Note fics tried their hand at. It’s a bit more fantastical than realistic, but I remember the concept working quite well!

Pantheon by @inkedinserendipity — This is such a beautiful epilogue to “Moana’. I love all of inked’s “Moana” stories; they’re a deep dive (ocean humor) into the story beyond, and I highly, highly recommend you check them out if you love the film!
