FFXIV Write - Day 13: Butte
It rose above the desert, by turns blazing orange and dusky scarlet, depending on the quality of the air and the position of the sun. Tall and narrow, the sides were steep enough to appear almost perpendicular to the ground, ending abruptly in a flat top that might have been sheared off by an angry god.
Thancred had mentioned it was an hour’s or so ride from the town; too far for their usual morning ride before they each went to work, but not so far that she couldn’t take a trip out there after school or on her weekly day off, when the students were home and she was free.
She knew he’d intended that she ask him to come along, but she was still very skittish about spending too much time with him. Their morning rides had been unintentional - on her part, at least. She needed to exercise Miraeyath, and he’d invited himself along. She’d tried to run him off the first few times, but after a while, she had to admit she enjoyed the company.
She enjoyed his company.
But this morning, as the sun slowly rose above the horizon and the butte was a cheerful cherry-red, she saddled up Miraeyath and set out alone. Following the advice given by Thancred and others, she had two full waterskins with her, as well as a light hooded cloak to put on if the sun got too high before she got back. She had reluctantly traded her skirts for pants and added a belt with a holster for the small, pearl-handled revolver Thancred had given her.
She had a healthy respect for the desert, and had no desire to tempt fate by not taking reasonable precautions.
They set out across the hard-packed prairie at a steady pace. She knew better than to push Miraeyath - nor was she in any particular hurry. And so they took their time as they meandered through the scrub, often stopping to make note of this insect or that track. She kept aware of her surroundings at all times, but never ran into any of the creatures - critters, they said as she recalled - that she had been warned to avoid.
It took a bit over that allotted hour - closer to two, in fact - before Kal’istae and Miraeyath stood before that butte. And up close, it was even more magnificent than before. She could see the striations in the walk, read the thousands and tens of thousands of years of buildup that had created a mountain from a mole hill.
Natural studies weren’t her strong suit. She was much better with the highly abstract areas of reading and writing, or the incredibly linear subject of arithmetic. Natural studies, geography, politics - she could teach them, she could talk about them, but they didn’t make her blood sing.
But this, this was exciting. Maybe that’s what was missing, she mused as she slowly trailed around the base of the rise. Maybe she just needed the hands-on. She’d always loved plants and animals and rocks. Maybe she should arrange a fieldtrip… an expedition into the prairie… she could take one of the deputies…
Maybe even Thancred would…
“Ah, alone at last.”
The unexpected words made her straighten from her study of a patch of drying lichen; the strange voice made her frown. But before she could do more than twist to look behind her, Miraeyath let out an unmusical squawk of alarm and something hard and heavy struck her head, making her see stars.
She was confused, disoriented, and now she was in pain, but she still remembered what to do if she got in trouble.
“Hel- ah!”
A second blow descended before she could get out more than a single shriek, and with it oblivion.

What are your thoughts on a Harry Potter AU with Norse Mythology?
Thanks for the ask!
I wish I have more of an articulate answer for this ask, but I actually don't know that much about Norse mythology. I should, given that my OTP is Thorki, and a lot of fics and art take inspiration from Norse myths (Loki's gaggle of children, his lips being sewn shut, Baldr showing up as the third brother and his tragic death, etc).
But for HP and adaptations? Or any of my fandoms being adapted with Greek/Norse/Chinese/Japanese myths/folklore or with any TV series/comics/films/etc? I am all for it.
How would the tragedy of Baldr work within the HP universe? Can it be used in telling a tragedy of the Black sisters? Or even the Peverells? Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters children -- how an outside force, maybe Albus Dumbledore or Gellert Grindelwald, take Voldemort's offsprings for his own nefarious purposes, saying that Voldemort's children are an abomination? Sybill Trelawney's lips being sewn shut so she couldn't give voice to what would soon become?
I can think of many fairytales inspired fics ( a forest, dark and deep ; Red as Blood; head full of doubt; The Detective's Ballet, Snowblind), fics inspired by films/TV & books (Sudden Light; All Heaven's Glory; Strong at the Broken Places, The Curse of Anteros), fics inspired by plays (Severus Snape and the Ghostwritten Romance; The Taming of the Shrew) and Greek myths (A Strange Fate; The Fall of Spring; Requiem At Dusk) ***all linked fics are Snarry. But, so far, I can't think of any specifically Norse inspired fic.
There are common threads in adaptations, I noticed. Fairytales are popular. Western media is another. Greek myths are more widely known and used compared to other myths and folklores. I've even written my fair share - a Sleeping Beauty/Snow White fusion, a short Princess and a Pea drabble. So far no Greek myth inspired fic, but I've written an Old Guard (film) inspired fic and a fic inspired by the film Before Sunrise. And I'm itching to write more fairytale inspired fics. I was talking with @danpuff-ao3 and others about wanting a Snarry version of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid - the one where in the end the mermaid turns into sea foam.
But, I also have desires to see non-Western media influenced HP adaptations. I've written a Mushishi (anime) Snarry fic for Snape Bang, and I have thoughts about a Snarry version of Your Name (anime film) and a very vague idea of a Snape's centric Poco's Udon World (anime) fic. I like exploration of other cultures and other forms of magic. We are all not a singular human being with singular experiences.
Or maybe there are more non-Western adaptations in the HP fandom than I realized. This fandom is so big and so varied and I only just ventured out of my Snarry bubble.
But back to the original ask. I would LOVE to see a HP AU with Norse mythology. Who is Loki and who is Thor? Odin or Frigga? Hel and Balder? Which myth to adapt? Is seidr its own magic or an extension of wizarding magic?
Thoughts to consider and a whole new playground to play in.

//Just wanted to write how Ras ended up in the gang he ran with in his western au.
Uruz
He knew he had to flee the North, Wisconsin and the neighboring territories weren’t safe. It was hard to lay low when you’re a striding giant among men. His characteristics didn’t help. Fiery red hair and missing his right eye. Branded and tattooed up, no there was no pretending to be anyone but himself.
It already caused a number of shoot outs with bounty hunters that did little to ease the situation. How those fights ended and the growing stories. All it did was send them in larger groups, chomping at his heels to fell the living mountain. Like he was some great hunt.
He was Uruz after all, perhaps this was always his fate and them dying was his punishment for daring to tread off the path the Norn laid before him.
The shopkeep wouldn’t miss a few boxes, right? He had to linger in the alleys, hoping if he moved quickly enough and avoided the main streets he could get in and out without much notice. And he would be back on the road. But where? The West? He hated the heat, his body was made from a people who didn’t live in hot climates. Though he heard the coast out there was beautiful. The South? Too sticky and too many inbreeds who thought people were property.
The giant grunted, he sounded like a child crying over porridge being too hot or cold.
Last of the items loaded on Rose.
“Alright girl, back the way we came and I snuck you a few apples.” he cooed to his horse.
The large Breton nuzzled him. But something suddenly made her uneasy, and the sounds of a pained animal hit his ears. A dog by the sounds and the laughter of man followed.
It wasn’t his problem. He couldn’t afford to be caught, that’s what he tried to tell himself. That’s what he failed to believe as he was already rushing towards the dog’s pained cries.
Upon arrival it was clear he was too late for the canine, their last pitiful cry broke into the air before he passed from it’s wounds.
“What ugly bitch spit you out?!”
His attention turned towards the clearly drunk Scotsman, from the sound of it. The Scot was a big man, compared to the average. He had long learned he was an anomaly among men. None the less he had much more mass on him and still stood above this man. And sadly for him this beast could focus on him as what he came to aid died.
A wicked grin and a dark glint in his eye, “You’re mother.”
Ah, it had the wanted result. The large Scot scrunched his nose in disgust and anger. Too pissed that he wasn’t the biggest dog now, he didn’t notice the giant closing in. A foolish mistake from someone who was used to always having the advantage.
Never let men like him get close.
“You fucking c–” the Scot was silenced with a heavy fist to his face. Landing square on his nose. The protruding aspect of his face crumbling under the weight.
People, people did terrible things, wild beasts in suits. One could justify most of what man did to one another. But to animals? To nature just existing? There was no reasoning. The giant had few scruples now. Tired of trying to be a person. But never touch those who can’t defend themselves and leave animals alone unless it’s for survival.
Very simple.
Blood coated his fists like a glove and the Scot’s face was so caved in there was no telling who he might have been. He stood and calmly walked back over to Rose. It would seem he would need to leave sooner than later now.
His camp was mostly packed and he was getting ready to head out when the crows cried over head, sounding as his alarm. Someone, no someones were close. the clicking of hammers gave away positions and he knew he was surrounded.
Perhaps death would finally accept him, and Hel would take his soul.
“You know it takes a right mean bastard to take down my best enforcer.”
The giant turned to see who was speaking to him, who dared walk before the beast.
“We didn’t even realize it was Angus at first you caved his whole fucking head in! What did he do to piss you off?”
He shrugged, “Does it matter?”
When he wanted to feel more intimidating more removed he tightened up his odd accent. That mix of Icelandic and German. How it made him sound so guttural and melodic at the same time. It unnerved people he was told.
The man speaking shook his head, “No guess not. So what do we call you? Hm? Because, see, we have an problem. I’m down my best enforcer, my best strong man because you killed him. And if the papers are right you’re the damn giant that’s getting quite a legend attached to you. Do you know you eat people?”
“Uruz,” he replied flatly before offering a half grin, “And what makes you think I don’ eat people?”
“Dave, and Ur, can I call you Ur? If you eat my enemies, I won’t see how many bullets it takes to take down a giant.”
#we're bullet proof until we bleed out - western au#In the northern territories I imagine Ras has a nasty reputation#From being a great beast#A striding giant from legends#a demon in human skin#People are terrified of him#◾ I blinked and the world was gone — ooc

Sun Touched Zuko AU!!
Tag list @chaoticidiott @mypureessence @fae-tales-personal
This won't be a soulmate AU but it will be Zukka for sure.
Zuko was born sick, so sick in fact that he was going to die. His mother prayed to Agni that he would live, prayed that the sun spirit would save her first born son. In the gardens she held him up to the Setting sun pleading. The suns rays caught in the amber stone on top of the alter set for worship and moved to Zuko's eyes. His hair changed from solid black to a golden blonde, he opened eyes and began to cry. He was touched by the Sun and lived.
Ursa couldnt have been more happy, her son was alive. "My little sunshine" she whispered with tears rolling down her cheeks as she held him close and rocked him in her arms.
When Ozai saw his son's golden hair he demanded that it be dyed black, but was willing to compromise when Ursa suggested they wait until he turns 5 so that the dyes don't harm him.
The first time they dyed his hair he asked his mom why, his bright molten eyes looking at her with confusion "because your father wants you to feel safer my sunshine, people will stare at you with that bright shining hair of yours"
"Oh, okay" was his only response that day. He never questioned it anymore when they touched up his roots weekly.
After his mother left him he felt alone in the world, his dad still staining his golden hair each week with more and more ink. All the while berating him when he couldnt control his fire well. Even with being touched by the spirit and having powerful fire he couldnt manage to control it, couldnt understand how to. Until master Piandou taught him swords and he applied his teachings to his fire.
The first time he used his swords to control the fire Piandou was more than impressed "Prince Zuko! That was amazing!"
"Thank you Master, thinking of the swords as an extension helped me control the flames better" his smile soon faded when his father appeared
"Yes, great work Zuko, I am pleased to see you have learned how to control your flames, however mixing these arts in this fashion is unacceptable. Come with me"
After that he wasn't allowed back at Piandou's unless he was accompanied by either his father, or an advisor to make sure he practiced correctly.
On the day of his fated Agni Kai Zuko had just gotten his roots retouched before entering the war meeting. When his father burnt him for speaking out of term his tears felt like lava running down his cheeks. He could smell the fresh dye burning and it hurt his lungs.
His Uncle immediately took him under his wing when he was banished "Zuko, my star," his Uncle pleaded when they were at the western airtemple "i need to dress your wound, the sun spirit would not want you to lose your eye"
Zuko reluctantly let his Uncle clean and dress his wound several times on their travels until it healed and scarred over. When it finally healed over Iroh smiled "there you go sunshine" he said as he wiped the tears forming in Zuko's good eye away "do not cry Prince Zuko, you are safe"
He still dyed his roots every week to uphold his place as prince. He did not know that his golden hair was his own symbol or royalty, that the sun chose him. Sure he knew the sun saved him, but he could not understand that it was because he was chosen.
When he arrived at the South pole and discovered the Avatar, he felt a breath of relief wash over him. He was going home, but he heavily underestimated the Avatar's abilities and lost him.
Soon he started a cat and mouse game with the monk and his two southern water tribe friends. After the northpole he slacked on dying his hair, not because he didnt want to, he simply didn't have the resources to do so. So his roots started to grow in gold.
"Well your looking golden Zuzu" Azula's voice startled Zuko when he walked into the hut they were staying in.
"Azula, what are you doing here" he glared at his younger sister
"You know, im my country. We greet one another before asking questions" she responded coldly "i was just passing through"
"To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit Princess Azula?" Iroh piped into the conversation
"No wonder you two click, always so quick and to the point. Father sent me, family is suddenly very important to him." She turned her head to look out the window "father regrets your banishment. He wants you home"
Zuko was frozen in place "father regrets?"
"I can see you need time to think this through, ill be by to collect you in the morning" Azula smiled softly before a flash of worry flashed on her face for a split second as she walked out the door.
When Azula's true intentions were revealed Zuko and Iroh managed to flee from her and her soldiers. When they stopped at the river to cut their hair Zuko looked at Iroh when he watched the inky hair fall into the river "your gold hair will conceal your identity fairly well my nephew"
"Yeah, it'll hide me pretty well" nobody had seen Zuko with his golden hair before. He hadnt seen his hair fully gold since age five.
On their travels his hair grew fairly fast now that it wasnt being dyed so often. It would catch the eye of several earth kindom citizens when he passed through towns. When he and Iroh were sitting against a building with a hat in front of them a young woman approached them and slipped a few gold pieces in "I know this might sound creepy, and I'm only asking this because I cannot resist. But may I kiss your hair sir? You can say no, I won't take my money back."
Zuko flushed a light shade of pink and scratched the back of his head "uhm, s-sure?" He mumbled out and leaned his head towards her. She placed a tender almost motherly kiss to the top of his head.
"Oh, your hair is so beautiful sir, it's like a million rays of sun. I wish you luck, i can only spare a little but if you'd take these small meals Im sure they'd help you" she said while offering two wrapped meals
They accepted and thanked her with small bows "what a nice young lady, huh?" Iroh said and nudged Zuko's arm
"Yeah, she was very nice"
When Zuko and Iroh found Azula and Aang battling in an abandoned earth town Azula pointed out his hair "wow Zuzu! You look just like a star! Where'd all that ink go?" When the fight ended and Iroh was injured Zukos cheeks felt like magma was pouring from his eyes.
"Zuko, I can hel-" Katara approached them
"LEAVE!" Zuko cried out, turning to Katara with golden tears running down his face.
While on the Ferry to Ba Sing Se Zuko was angry, not angry at anyone or anything in particular, he was just angry. "Hey" the voice of a man at his right side broke his brooding "names Jet"
"Lee" Zuko muttered out how cover name
"Yknow Lee, I hear the captain is eating like a king while we're stuck eating all his left overs" he paused "want to help me... liberate some food rations?"
It didn't take much to convince Zuko to join him. They liberated the food quickly without getting caught. Zuko found himself wandering the the front of the lower deck, leaning on the railing. "You know, as soon as I saw your scar, I knew exactly who you were" he paused as he approached Zuko "youre a refugee, like me. Thing is though, I've never seen hair like yours, let along your eyes."
Jet reached out and brushed Zuko's hair out of his face. "The freedom fighters could use a starlight like you, what do you say?"
Zuko smacked Jets hand away gently "thanks, but no thanks, you don't want me on your team, trust me"
In Ba Sing Se Iroh and Zuko made a life for themselves. They managed to have their own tea shop and apartment. Things were doing great, until Zuko went after the Avatar's bison, mind you he went there originally to take the bison captive, but when he saw that the creature was hurt he sheathed his swords and removed his mask, letting his golden hair free as he approached the bison "hey buddy, are you okay?" His voice was much softer than usual "oh no, here let me help you, this is going to hurt and I'm sorry, but I need to pull out this thorn" he talked to him the whole time he was pulling out thorns, gently rubbing the fur near it to sooth him.
When he pulled all of the thorns out he took out his swords "alright buddy, dont worry about the swords, im going to use them to cut you out of these chains, shhh its okay, you're okay" he continued to talk him through each of the six shackles "there we go big guy, now you need to get out of here, go find your friends- ah! Hey!" Appa knocked him over and gave him a thanks with a big sloppy dog like lick across his torso and face before taking off.
"You did well my nephew" Zuko shot up at his uncle's voice
"Uncle?" His startled voice wavered
"Now lets get you out of here and back home." And that they did.
When they made it back to their apartment Zuko felt dizzy, he held his head in his hand "I dont feel good" he managed to get out before collapsing and breaking a vase
"Zuko!" Iroh shouted as he rushed to his nephew to make sure he didnt hurt himself on any broken glass.
In his Angst coma Sokka heard his mother singing
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me Happy! When skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you, so please don't hide my sunshine away"
His sisters voice mocked his hair "youre hair makes you look like a dandelion, a weed can't take the throne!" Her cackling filled his ears.
There was a blinding light and a woman appeared with flowing gold hair and bright fire eyes "my dear star, why do you let yourself hurt so much?"
"I don't, who are you?"
"I'm Agni my dear, you do know I chose you right?"
"Why?"
"You are special my dear, your mother made sure to get my attention and I am so glad she did" the woman spoke as she placed her hand on his cheek. Filling him with the image of her reaching out to kiss his eyes as a baby. "You are meant for great things little star." Her voice faded as she herself did
He soon woke from his coma with a fresh breath. Taking charge in making sure his Uncle's tea shop did well, and helping him where he could. However Azula soon found them and summoned them to the palace under the guise of serving tea to the king. Things didnt end well and Zuko was thrown into a cave beneath the City with Katara.
"Why would they throw you in here!" Her angry and hurt voice filled his ears as he tried not to make her feel more uncomfortable by staying as far from her as possible.
when she mentioned her mother he turned around and spoke "thats something we have in common"
"What?"
"My mother was my only source of safety... she was the only one who defended me against my sister and my father. And one day my father was ordered to... do something terrible and my mother protected me somehow, I dont know what happened but when I was half awake she told me goodbye and when I fully woke up she was gone."
When they were separated and Azula had Iroh trapped she approached "Zuko, nows your chance to come home. Help me defeat the avatar and you can come home. Without inking your hair. Isnt this what you've always wanted? You'll have your honor back, you'll have fathers love back"
And despite all he had gone through he still chose the path of returning to his father. When he did return his father wanted to dye his hair but Azula spoke up against it "father, if I may. Zuko's hair is a symbol of the fire goddess Agni, if he were to take the thrown it'd be best to show that she has chosen him"
"Yes, that is true. Alright, off with you two"
Reuniting with Mai wasnt smooth, she confessed to him that her and Ty Lee connected and while he was saddened he just smiled "I'm glad you two are with eachother, you work well"
On the day of Black sun, with the information he had learned from Iroh and armed with the fact that his father was practically powerless without his bending. He approached him.
"Zuko, what are you doing here?"
"Im here to tell the truth"
Ozai let out a snort "telling the truth during an eclipse?" He waved off his gaurds "what do you have to say"
"First of all, Azula lied to you, she was the one who shot down the avatar"
"What?! Why would she lie about that?"
"Because the avatars not dead, he's probably leading this invasion right now"
"Get out! Get out if you know what's good for you!"
"Thats another thing, I'm not taking orders from you anymore"
"You will obey me or face the consequences!" As Ozai stood Zuko drew his dual swords and took a stance
"Think again. I am going to speak my mind and you are going to listen"
He went on to question his father "you knew Agni chose me as a child and that was the reason my hair turned gold. You knew this and yet you hid that from the world, you darkened my hair for years, and you have the gull to tell me I was lucky to be born. You! The tyrannical leader set out to destroy the world. you! My own father challenged me to an Agni Kai just for speaking out of term, how could you possibly justify a duel with a child!"
"It was to teach you respect!"
"It was cruel and it was wrong"
"Then you have learned nothing!"
"No! I've learned everything, and I've had to do most of it on my own" he paused "Growing up we were taught that the war was our nations way of spread joy, what an incredible lie that was, the other nations don't love us, they fear us, and they are right to fear us, we've brought the world to an era of hate and suffering, now we need to fill it with one of peace and joy"
"Your uncle has gotten to you hasnt he" Ozai laughed
"Yes, he has, and I've come to another decision, im going to join the avatar, and im going to help him take you down."
After announcing this he turned to leave but stayed to learn about what happened to his mother
"She's alive?" He said in a soft voice as a single golden tear rolled down his cheek
"Perhaps," Ozai paused "now i see that banishment is far too small of a punishment for treason" he said as he gathered lightning and shot it at Zuko who quickly redirected it right back at him before escaping.
After finding that Iroh had broken out of prison Zuko fled the firenation in a small war ballon and followed the Avatar's Sky bison to the western air temples. Their first encounter didn't go so well and he managed to burn Toph's feet but after helping them defeat the assassin and managing to form his words more properly and giving a genuine apology to Toph he was on the team.
Some time after joining and managing to break Sokka's dad, Suki and Chit Sang out of prison they were all sitting around the fire. "So.. uhm Zuko" Aang started
Zuko turned to look at him "yeah?"
"I have to ask, pretty bunch nobody in the firenation has golden blonde hair right?" Zuko absentmindedly ran his fingers through his hair at the question
"Yeah, and when you were first chasing us your hair was black, whats up with that?" Sokka added
"Oh, uh, well my hair was always dyed black because my father doesn't like my gold hair..." he paused "when I was born, I was sick, so sick that my parents thought I was going to die. But my mother pleaded with Agni to spare me, she took me to the sun worship alter in the palace gardens at sunset and held me up, pleading. When the last ray of light from Agni, my hair turned golden and I began to cry. So, in a sense the sun gave me my life"
"Like Yue!" Sokka piped up
"Like who?"
"Princess Yue! She was born sick just like you, and the moon spirit saved her. Well, she's the moon spirit now"
"Woah woah wait, is this the girlfriend you said turned into the moon?"
"Yep!"
"Well, just don't go falling for Zuko now, dont want to have your first boyfriend turn into the sun" Suki teased him
"Hey, at least I'd have a full set of spirit lovers"
Zuko's face turned beet red and the group laughed at him. Over the next few weeks of them being in close quarters Zuko found that he was growing feelings for the water tribe boy. Anytime he'd look at him he felt his stomach do a flip. But he didnt have time to think about his feelings.
Even though the sun touched prince tried not to think about Sokka on the mission with Katara, he couldn't help it. When they were returning Katara piped up "I know you like him" she paused to watch his surprised face "its okay you know, its fine if you like him. I dont have like you to let my brother like you. I may be cold to you but im not a monster like your father" she tied off the sentence by staring off "and besides, if Agni chose you, I think you would be safe for Sokka"
When they got back he heard sokka shout "You're back! Thank La youre safe!" Turning to Katara he expected to see Sokka running to hug his sister. Instead he was tackled to the ground with a hug from Sokka "how did it go Katara?" He asked from the ground while quite literally snuggling into Zuko with this hug that was still very much happening.
"I found him, and he was just so pathetic, i couldnt kill him"
Sokka then stood up and helped Zuko to his feet and placed a quick sneaky kiss to his cheek before moving to hug his sister, leaving Zuko frozen in confusion. He remained frozen until Suki came up to him "he's trying to confess silently, he's weird like that, corner him later if you want to hear an actual confession"
He however didn't manage to corner the now seemingly overly flirty blue boy until they were at ember Island. It wasnt until just before bed when Sokka was walking past Zuko's bedroom door. He reached out grabbed Sokka's shirt and yanked him into the room before slamming the door shut and pinning him to it. "What are you doing?"
"Wh-what do you mean? You're the one who dragged me into your room, what are you doing?"
"Dont play dumb with me Sokka, you've been flirting with me since I got back from my trip with your sist-"
"Actually ive been flirting with you since the temples, you just didn't notice until I kissed you"
"You mean until you missed"
"What?"
Zuko smirked "you missed" he mumbled before leaning closer "you went for a kiss but you missed"
They ended up spending the night sharing a room and a bed. When the morning sun peaked through the windows Zuko curled back into sokka who in turn pulled him closer. Both refusing to wake up until Katara knocked on the door and opened it "breakfast is ready, if you two love birds want some warm food you better hury and I better not see any hickeys"
"Ugh! Katara we just cuddled!" Sokka said as he burried his face in Zuko's hair.
Katara simply laughed "alright, but still, hury up."
When the day of the comet came and Zuko had to separate from Sokka he saw the worry in his blue eyes "Ive got this Sokka, Agnj chose me remembe, besides, I've got Katara with me and she's powerful" he placed a quick kiss to Sokka's lips "go take down those ships, and I'll see you by the timd the sun rises tomorrow."
And he was right, even though he was shot with lightning and Sokka broke his leg they both came out of the battle alive and together. When Zuko woke up to find Sokka curled up against him he smiled and let out a soft breath of pink fire. Relief.
"Woah, do that again" Sokka's groggy 'just woke up' voice rumbled against his shoulder
"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you, do you mean this?" He let out another breath of fire, this time a pale purple
"I didn't know you could do other colors of fire"
"Well, I couldn't until I went to the sunwarriors, Agni spoke to me there"
After Zuko's Coronation the firenation began righting their wrongs. It was a long struggle for sure. However two years into his reign with Sokka having practically moved in he found that he would soon have a partner to help him through these struggles.
The day had only just begun but Sokka was dragging Zuko to the turtleduck pond where they often sat together to simply relax. Sokka seemed a little antsy this time though "what's wrong Sokka?"
"Uhm, well, I have something I need to ask you," he paused and reached into his pocket while sinkning down to one knee. Zuko's breath caught in his throat as he saw Sokka pull out a betrothal becklace, the band was made with a fine red silk and the center piece was gold with a carving of a sun with a wave inside of it. "Zuko," he took a shaky breath "you've been by my side for two years now, you've held my hand through war and peace, quite literally, and you've done so while loving me whole heartedly. I can't imagine my life without you in it." Zuko could feel golden tears threatening to fall fram his molten eyes "Zuko, will you marry me?"
"Yes!" He heard himself responding before he could even think "Agni, yes Sokka, of course I'll marry you!"
Sokka moved from his kneeling position to lifting Zuko up into a kiss, holding him right under his rear. Zuko held his face in his hands as he pressed his lips to Sokka's as he was lifted up quite unceremoniously.
Once he was set down Sokka helped him put on the betrothal necklace. He reached up to touch the Golden pendant and smiled up at Sokka with gold tears falling down his cheeks.
Their marraige was held not long after, joining the southern water tribe and the firenation in a strong Union with a mixed culture wedding blues, silvers, reds and golds filled the wedding and reception as well as suns and moons.
Agni smiled down on the wedding that day, her chosen sunshine found his moon.
Yue smiled on them that night as they stood on the balcony holding one another. The boy who protected her finally found his light.
>Woo boy that was a long one! I sure hope you enjoyed it!<

SJ/M’s unacceptable and lazy usages of real world places/cultures
I’m aiming to make this the most comprehensive list of SJ/M stealing bits and pieces of world history and pretending like she came up with them. Feel free to comment down below or send an ask if you can think of anything.
The addition of adaptation of names from some real-world places is included either because of insensitivity (Hybern and Prythian) or mostly because SJ/M doesn’t try to represent any of the cultures she takes from.
Note that this post will keep getting updated as I discover more evidences of unacceptable usages of cultures. Also note that there is every possibility that some resemblances are purely accidental and/or unintentional. So take it with a grain of salt.
T/HRONE OF GLASS
- Most of the cultural activities mentioned in Tower of Dawn are rip-offs of Mongolian culture and seem to resemble the Dothraki from Game of Thrones very closely.
- Pagan holidays mentioned in the books:
Yulemas* is celebrated in Erilea despite there already existing an established religion consisting of 12 gods and goddesses.
Samhain* is a festival celebrated by Irish and Scottish people.
Beltane* is a festival celebrated historically in Ireland and Scotland.
- Nehemia is probably derived from the Jewish leader Nehemiah who helped rebuild Jerusalem. Instead of trying to work that into Nehemia’s narrative, SJ/M killed off Nehemia to serve a white woman’s narrative.
- Mycenae is a historical site in Greece.
- Illium is an actual Greek city as well.
- Ravi in KoA is named after a Hindi word which means “sun”.
- Strangely enough Ravi’s brother is named Sol after the Roman god of the sun.
- Suria, where Ravi is from, is also a synonym for sun in Hindi.
- Mab is from the story of “Queen Mab”.
- Maeve is a sexual goddess in Irish mythology who was actually raped. So making Maeve a rapist in the books was hurtful.
A/COTAR
- Nagas belong to Hindu/Indian mythology included in a book that’s clearly a very western fantasy and has little to no PoC representation.
- Illyrians were an actual indo-european tribe with close relations to modern day Albanians. S/JM is not the first person to feature them in her work but other authors have used versions of the name like “Illyria” by Shakespeare, “Ilirea” by Paolini, “Valyria” by GRRM etc. which are acceptable.
- Calan Mai is actually a celebration of spring in Welsh culture. As @gemorsedd put it so eloquently, SJ/M turned it into a festival about Tamlin being unable to control his hormones.
- Hybern is derived from the classic latin name of Ireland which is “Hibernia”.
- Prythian is a modified version of the ancient name of Britain “Prydain”. COINCIDENTALLY, Prythian VERY closely resembles the UK. It’s also possible that she plagiarised the name from Anne Bishop’s Daughter of Blood.
Note for further reading: Read @blakeseptember’s about why SJ/M was especially insensitive in including Prythia and Hybern in the ways she did: https://blakeseptember.tumblr.com/post/187088853587/hybern-as-ireland
- Bharat is actually the Hindi name for India which is mentioned in ACO/TAR. Not only is it mentioned that Feyre’s father was sailing to Bharat to trade in cloth and spices (which was exactly what British colonialists and traders did when they sailed to India), it’s also said, quite clearly, that Feyre’s mother died of Typhus while her cousin died of Malaria (IN BHARAT). By doing so SJ/M is blatantly promoting a very colonialist view of India.
The Malaria mention: “My mind was void, a blank mess of uselessness. Could it be some sort of disease? My mother had died of typhus and her cousin had died of malaria after going to Bharat. But none of those symptoms seemed to match a riddle. Was it a person?”
The Trade of cloth and spices: “I swallowed. ‘Eight years ago he amassed our wealth on three ships to sail to Bharat for invaluable spices and cloth.’”
- Myrmidons feature in A/COWAR. The Myrmidons is actually a nation from Ancient Greek mythology (led by Achilles in the siege of Troy).
- Harem pants which are worn in parts of South and Middle-east Asia feature in the books where they’re introduced into a court consisting of white people only.
- F/eyre’s floral tattoos are very reminiscent of mehendis which are very important to Indian, Arabic and North African cultures but it’s a trait given to a white woman here. Read this post.
C/RESCENT CITY
- Danaan is from Tuatha de Danaan (celtic mythology) / Danaans is another name for Greece in the Iliad, used interchangeably with “Argives” and “Achaeans”.
- Avallen is Avalon (the legend of King Arthur). Ruhn’s story also bears a very close resemblance to the legend.
- 6 point star = Star of David
- Lehabah = a word in Hebrew meaning "a flame" (להבה)
- Mount Hermon = an actual mountain place in the northern part of Israel. In Hebrew: הר החרמון.
- SPQM’s full form is Senatus Populusque Midgard. Which is awfully close to the SPQR of the ancient Roman empire which is Senatus Populusque Romanus
- The river Tiber mentioned in CC is actually a Roman river.
- Midgard, in Norse mythology, is the home of mankind. In Norse mythology.
- Sandriel: Comes from the angel Sadriel, the angel of order. S/JM added an “n.”
- Orion “Hunt” A/thalar: First name is pretty obvious, Orion as in the hunter which is where his name “Hunt” comes from. Probably from the god Attar called Athtar in Southern Arabia. Attar is sometimes considered a storm god explaining his lightning powers, but also linked to the Morningstar aka Lucifer. No explanations are given regarding as to how the constellations of our world are the same as that of SJ/M’s fantasy AU.
- Shahar Daystar: From the dawn deity Shahar. Also linked to Lucifer.
- Jesiba Roga: A Croatian respelling of Baba Yaga. Jesiba Roga, is quite literally just a combination of Ježibaba (a figure closely related to Baba Yaga in West Slavic folklore) and Baba Roga (the Croatian version of of Baba Yaga).
- Danika Fendyr: Danika is a Slavic dawn deity. Fendyr comes from Fenrir a wolf in Norse mythology.
- Isaiah: Taken from Isaiah 14:12-15 which details the fall of Lucifer. It’s also easily accessible from Shahar’s Wikipedia page (which may imply that SJ/M uses Wikipedia for research and just steals/lazily incorporates whatever she finds along the way.)
12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the [b]lowest depths of the Pit.
- Fury Axtar: Hunt is likely related to Attar or maybe even Ishtar or Ashtaroth. It’s unclear right now. Ishtar is sometimes linked to Lucifer as well. It’s possible that she’s named after the Furies in Greek mythology, deities of vengeance.
- Micah Domitus: Micah is a prophet in Judaism.
- Syrinx: A chimera in this book, a nymph known for her devotion to Artemis.
- Urd: The god of flame and shadow possibly the name comes from Urðr one of the three Norns in Norse mythology.
- Luna: A Roman moon goddess
- Cthona: “Chthonic”, in English, describes deities or spirits of the underworld, especially in Ancient Greek religion.
- Vanir: The Vanir are actually group of Norse gods.
- Asphodel Meadows: A section of the ancient Greek underworld where ordinary souls were sent to live after death.
- Hel: Hel is a goddess but also a location in Norse Mythology for the dead. Depictions of Hel depend on the source of the information. It’s strange that Hel and Asphodel Meadows belong in the same place, translating to lazy world building on SJ/M’s part.
- Midgard: In Norse Mythology basically the plane of existence of humans.
- Laconic Mountains: Named after Laconia the administrative capital of Sparta.
- Nidaros: Where Bryce grew up. It’s the ancient name of Norway’s capital when the Christian kings ruled. It’s now called Trondheim.
- Istros River: Taken from Istros of Ancient Greece
- Valbara: Taken from the super continent Vaalbara
- Pangera: probably Pangea, the huge supercontinent on which dinosaurs lived
- Crown of Thorns: In reality it’s a symbol of Jesus but in the book it’s branded onto the foreheads of angels who rebelled in a war some decades ago.
- Keres: Phillip Briggs’s terrorist gang is named after the Keres who are “goddesses who personified violent death and who were drawn to bloody deaths on battle fields.”
- Sailing: A Norse funeral custom for Vikings as seen in movies like How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Thor: The Dark World. Here’s more information on it, but it seems SJ/M got it wrong. Most Vikings were usually cremated and it was mostly used for Kings and Chieftains (Danika might fall into the Chieftain category).
- 33rd Imperial Legion: Could be a reference again to Jesus who was 33 at his death.
- The Ophian rebels (of which the the Keres rebels are a subgroup of) are named after Ophian, and elder Titan in Greek mythology.
Sources I’ve derived some facts from so far:
- Sapir Englard on Goodreads via @spaceshipkat’s tumblr post using Hebrew in CCity.
- @bittenwrath for basically everything in crescent city.
- @blakeseptember’s tumblr about Hybern’s origins.
- An anon dropped by with “Hel”
- @chenmighty and @tavithelibrarian pointed out the Illyrians.
- @sylphene and @omourningstar for Prydain
- @ok-boomer pointed out that Yulemas, Samhain and Beltain are all pagan holidays.
- @gemorsedd For pointing out Calan Mai
- An anon pointed out the Norns, Danaan and Avalon.
- @mimiofthemalfoys for the Bharat, malaria, typhus, spices and cloth mention.
- @kryingkardashianz for Danaans being another name of Greece and Myrmidions.
- an anon pointed out Nidaros
- @shurislut for mehendi and harem pants
- @sanktaalinaa for Jesiba Roga
- @croissantcitysucks for the Ophian Rebels

Interesting FE16 world-building (?) tidbits, found through food and menus
or i was hungry : the post
Nabateans have no taste, Zanado fruit is described as “inedible” but apparently golden Zanado fruit is rad, so idk. Is it a Zanado fruit specially harvested for human tastes?
Saghert & Cream : “ A baked confection with Noa fruit cream and a currant reduction, often enjoyed as a dessert at family gatherings.���
Noa fruit --> smthg smthg Noa, and Noa’s crest is apparently making Constance able to grow flowers (or to make plants bloom)? Are Noa fruits specific to Western Adrestia, or are they found everywhere? But since it’s a common dessert enjoyed at “family gatherings” I suppose Noa fruits are kind of common and/or not that expensive. Noa crested people make a lot of fruits and control the production of Noa fruits in the continent? But even if they have a monopoly on Noa fruits they think it’s more profitable to sell them at a rather low price than to treat it as a delicacy?
Sweet Bun Trio : “ Traditional pastries from Faerghus, known for their subtle sweetness. The dough is made with eggs and sugar.”
Important to note : this is made with Noa fruits (lel) and Albinean berries. So, traditionaly, Faerghus traded with Albinea to get fruits to fill their donuts/buns? Otoh, if the taste is rumoured to be subtle, Sylvain apparently doesn’t find it so awesome because he has that infamous “food from my own country sucks”. And yet he still like Faerghus’s sweet buns, so...
Pheasant Roast with Berry Sauce : “ Well-roasted Fodlan pheasant drizzled with a berry reduction sauce”.
Again, made with Albinean berries. Are they sweet or sour? Pheasants are eaten by a majority of nobles, but some commoners like it too, Raph (duh), Mercedes, Cyril and Flayn.
Peach Sorbet : “ A sorbet made with thin slices of magically frozen peach, dusted with bean flour”.
Made with, uh, peaches, and chickpeas (?).
Here comes Fodlan’s magic, in that world, people waste i mean use magic to bake/make funny food. If peaches are “magically frozen” then they musn’t be “naturally frozen” (well...) so this dish wasn’t originally from Faerghus. Maybe it’s an Adrestian delicacy and imperial mages are used, during peaceful times, as hired freezers?
Beast Meat Teppanyaki : “ A dish that tastes like wilderness. Thick slices of meat covered with Noa fruit and grilled on a hotplate”
Here another menu graced by House Nuvelle’s graces
Otoh, “beast meat” like... are they using meat from the various monsters? Or, worse, demonic beasts? But then, given what they used to be... not so odd to note, no nabatean likes this meal
Pickled Rabbit Skewers : “ Hunks of rabbit meat are pickled in bacchus, skewered, and roasted over an open flame to create this flavorful dish”
Finally someone cooking something with wine i mean - The only other mention of bacchus we had in the game was in the description of the Feast in Rhea’s trashy novel, apparently “fine bacchus” comes from Boramas, a territory of the Empire not that far from Enbarr. Given how Faerghus’ climate seems a bit too cold for wine, it must grow in the alliance/empire. So this dish is a southern (well) one?
Daphnel Stew : “Minced poultry and onions boiled with salt. The simple recipe lets high-quality ingredients speak for themselves.”
We have high-quality ingredients in Daphnel, like Raddest Chicken (tm) and Best Salt (tm)? Or onions, you can’t cook without onions.
Or was Daphnel a great cook back in the day? Idk. Still, the alliance seems to be proud of their local products? First Count Gloucester with his sheep, and now Daphnel and their salt - i mean poultry! No one’s famous for their salt, save for, maybe, the guys from Bergliez with the Kingdom and the Alliance said “thks bye” to Adrestia
Gronder Meat Skewers : “ Fatty hunks of Gronder fox cooked slowly on skewers. The meat is magically aged for a full flavor.”
??? Fodlan people eat foxes? Ingredient list requires “wild game” and onions, but still... We all know how Guinivere’s baby fox would have ended then, or an AU where Kaden pops up in Fodlan.
However, here’s the second instance where Magic is used to alter an ingredient’s flavour. How do they “magically” age meat? Can that spell be used on living things to make them decay? It is a Hel “lite”?
Apparently, Cichol was rumoured to have blessed the Gronder Fields with good harvests, but randoms were tired to eat bread every day so they wanted to eat foxes. Not so oddly enough (?) Nabateans aren’t fond of that dish.
Derdriu-Style Fried Pheasant : “ Pheasant meat is pounded flat and fried. Can be served as a sort of sandwich, with cheese between two strips of meat.”
Fried chicken comes from the Alliance people, and from Derdriu that is to say, from the Riegans. They created fast food, or KFC’s Double Down.
Edel made a wise choice in attacking them and removing the Riegans from the continent in CF
Interesting to note, Hanneman, Manuela and Seteth are fond of this. You cannot write a modern AU without them ordering something at KFC now, you cannot.
Vegetable Pasta Salad : “Pasta with a blend of fresh vegetables from various regions of Fódlan. This popular dish sells out almost instantly.”
Much more healthy! And also more popular? Everyone loves pasta! And does it mean everyone in Fodlan makes their own version of this dish with their local variants (cabbage in Faerghus?) or there are trading routes in the continent where Faerghus’ cabbage can be easily bought by Dude Von Random in the Empire if he wants to eat that salad?
Onion Gratin Soup : “ Onions stewed with white trout and baked with a layer of cheese on top. Will warm you up from the inside out.”
The trout. Why the trout. Given how nearly everyone from Faerghus is fond of this dish (Linhardt and Marianne are the only non-kingdom students to like it) I’d say it comes from the North, and I remember Gautier being a famous place for “Gautier Cheese”. Also a dish that warms you from the inside would be conceived in a place where it’s cold? Or it’s some sort of comfort food.
Country-Style Red Turnip Plate : “ A balanced meal including red turnip and verona stew, red turnip salad, and sautéed red turnip with garlic.”
Mostly appreciated by Imperial students, this meal looks healthy, again. Maybe they have a lot of turnips in the Empire, idk. Cichol mixed beetroots and turnips and thought they could give sugar to the empire with all those beetroots but welp they have a crapton of turnip fields now and you can’t make anything with turnips but those silly humans still found a way to accomodate them?
Vegetable Stir-Fry : “A dish of dried tomatoes, cabbage, chickpeas, and other vegetables, stir-fried with eggs. Nutritious and very filling. “
Not specifically tied to a country. tomatoes would suggest it doesn’t come from Faerghus though. But cabbage? Or it’s some sort of fusion food. Sounds tasty though (unlike the turnip salad)
Grilled Herring : “ Herring caught off the coast of Albinea, shredded and grilled in an earthenware pot with sliced turnips.”
what is wrong with the devs and their love for turnips
This dish uses herring from Albinea, so, unless Fodlanese fishers regularly hang out near a foreign nation’s shores to fish, they must trade. I don’t know if Albinean herring is expensive or if Garreg Mach uses a lot of its budget on Albinean herrings but I suppose there’s at least a main line of supply for this kind of fish.
First you trade fish, next we have exchange students from Albinea
Fish and Bean Soup : “ A soup made by simmering white trout and chickpeas. A simple yet wholesome dish.”
Only Faerghus students love this meal (and Marianne). It seems plain but if Word of God says it’s wholesome, who am i to criticize?
Fruit and Herring Tart : “ A baked tart with stewed herring and Noa fruit mixed into the batter. Popular in Enbarr, the Imperial Capital.”
To contrast with the previous dish, this pie sounds complicated to make and is, of course, popular in Enbarr. You could make a caricature out of this. Oddly enough, no BE student is fond of this dish. Lorenz is though, previsibly.
Fisherman’s Bounty : “ Freshly-caught fish are cut into chunks and stewed together to make this hearty dish.”
Sponsorised by Indech since it requires a Teutates Loach. Flayn likes it. You only need fish and fish to make this dish which is, uh... well. Dedue’s the only guy to like this.
Fish Sandwich : “A simple dish. Airmid pike is pickled in vinegar and served with cabbage between two slices of bread.“
You average random sandwich, with pickled fish. Petra and Manu are the only non BL people to like this but now that i think about it, since it has cabbage, it must be a dish from Faerghus ? Or Faerghus exports cabbage to the rest of the world, and the rest of the world came up with this idea for a sandwich.
Two-Fish Saute : “Two types of fish are cut into strips and sauteed in butter. This lavish meal hails from Embarr, the Imperial Capital.”
It needs Caledonian Gar and Albinean Herring. Of course it’s lavish, it comes from Embarr. A lot of people are fond of this, Lorenz included, of course. Oddly enough, Leonie likes it too so it musn’t be that expensive?
Bourgeois Pike : “ A gourmet fish dish with Airmid pike, vegetables, and a sprinkle of expensive spices. Popular among nobles.”
It doesn’t come from Enbarr??
It needs a carrot and Airmid Pike. Dedue, Seteth and Manu are the only commoners fond of this dish, but I wonder what are those expensive spices needed. Saffron? Does it even exist in Fodlan? And why is it considered a gourmet dish? The ingredients aren’t that rare.
Calling it now, between Sitri’s resting place, the coffin where Seiros’s supposed to have been laid to rest and the storage room where Rhea does her monthly maintanance for golems, there is a specific room in the Monastery where randoms look after jerky, to make sure it ages properly and doesn’t develop mold or something like that.
Sautéed Jerky : “Jerky aged in the monastery and sautéed for a delightfully salty flavor. A perfect snack to go with your favorite drink.”
Now, Dimitri’s fond of this dish, but since he can’t taste it can it really be said he likes it? OTOH, Hubert likes it too, so our local evil chancelor drinks coffee while munching on chicken jerky. I still don’t understand why chickpeas are needed though.
Spicy Fish and Turnip Stew : “ Spicy stew made with Teutates loach and turnips. The monastery’s unique recipe features spices from Dagda.”
Turnip again
This dish has different local variations, given how the monastery’s one uses spices from Dagda. Is it because Garreg Mach can import spices from Dagda and the other places in Fodlan cannot or aren’t allowed, or because whoever is in charge of the meals in the monastery thought the turnip would taste good with Dagdan spices? Idk. Petra likes it, but Shamir isn’t particulary fond of this dish.
Sweet and Salty Whitefish Sauté : “ Whitefish is coated in spices and sautéed with dried tomatoes to bring out an addictive salty-sweet flavor.”
Dried tomatoes aren’t “sundried tomatoes” so maybe it’s an oversight, or there is a process (magical or just using an over) to dry tomatoes in Fodlan. This dish is exclusively liked by members of the BL house. Teutates is in Faerghus, but given how the climate is harsh, I don’t think tomatoes grow there? Or maybe they had some sort of magical greenhouses?
Super-Spicy Fish Dango : “ A light snack, popular in the Empire. Small, spicy balls of fried dough packed with white trout and dried tomato.”
This is the opposite of a gourmet or a lavish dish, but it is enjoyed in the Empire and not exclusively in Enbarr. Oddly enough, Hanneman is the only Adrestian fond of this. Leonie and Ingrid are fond of it, is it cheap? Given how it’s a snack and popular, I’d say it is.
c’est un acras de truite à la tomate?
Sautéed Pheasant and Eggs : “Thin slices of bird meat and shredded cabbage, mixed with scrambled eggs and sautéed spices. Invention of a certain noble.”
“a certain noble” WHO??
Ferdie’s fond of it, but I can’t see Aegir peeps inventing meals, and given the ingredients used, I cannot pinpoint an origin. It sounds like a snack. Claude is fond of it.
Garreg Mach Meat Pie : “A crispy-brown pie packed with tomatoes, cheese, and tender chunks of meat.”
... This is totally comfort food, isn’t it?
Fittingly enough, Manuela is fond of it. Maybe she eats those pies when she has a hangover or something. OTOH, if it wasn’t evident enough with the previous recipes, Garreg Mach develops its own gastronomy, different from what we could find in the Alliance, the Kingdom or the Empire. I actually wonder how they are supplied with food, is everything made in the monastery or are they importing stuff from other places in Fodlan? Since they have Dagdan spices, they also import from Dagda or they grow their own brand of Dagdan spices?
Cheesy Verona Stew : “A rich dish consisting of verona and sautéed Teutates loach. These ingredients are boiled and served with two kinds of melted cheese.”
Dimitri is fond of this dish with all the reservations i expressed above. Hanneman is the only Adrestian fond of this dish, but damn, two melted cheeses in a fish dish? Is it a fish fondue or something?
Pickled Seafood and Vegetables : “A Dagdan dish of raw fish and turnips pickled in a vinegar-based seasoning liquid. Rarely eaten in Fodlan.”
It may be rarely eaten in Fodlan but a lot of students and staff members like this dish! Shamir isn’t part of them, but Hubert is. Since it’s pointed out here, raw fish sounds to be something only people in Dagda eat, or at least, Fodlanese randoms do not eat raw fish. So the pickled fish used in the fish sandwich is actually cooked fish? They made pickles from cooked things? Odd.
Gautier Cheese Gratin : “A gratin of bird meat topped with heaps of Gautier cheese, which is famous for its low fat content. It has a unique flavor.”
Low fat content cheese what kind of insanity - this uses a Noa fruit, even if Nuvelle and Gautier are geographically opposed if you look at a Fodlan map. But whoever invented this dish thought it’d be nice to put a Noa fruit in it, so why not. Dimitri’s fond of it, actually can it be that he likes whatever is cooked with cheese?
dimitri is a cheese lover so automatically dimitri = best lord
Cabbage and Herring Stew : “ Cabbage and Albinean herring stewed whole. The fish guts lend this hearty dish a superbly bitter kick.”
Again thanks to Albinean exports, Hubert can eat his bitter stew. Lorenz is fond of it too, just like Flayn, Manu and Hanneman. i don’t have a lot of things to say about this dish
Scrambled Eggs with Vegetables : “ Fried eggs mixed with tomatoes, cabbage, and chickpeas along with other vegetables and legumes. A highly nutritious dish.”
Again with the joke about hangover food, but Manu likes this “highly nutritious” dish. Given how it is enjoyed by various students across Fodlan, I’d say this dish isn’t tied to one region, but is actually eaten everywhere in the continent.
that’s it no more dishes
#FE16#useless trivia?#fiction food#TFW i can't find a site where everyone wrote the info text regarding every ingredient#like albinean herring is from albinea or just someone thought it'd be nice to name that herring albinean?#Berries+moose+herring means Albinea is in the north#idk about faerghus and cabbage i thought of it on the spot#but cheese? bar Gloucester having sheeps maybe cheese comes from the north#I am not fond of turnips#the site where i took all those things from doesn't seem to be finished so maybe i'm wrong on certain entries#during the war no one eats Garreg Mach meat pie?#people in fodlan use magic to season/prepare ingredients isn't it awesome#I might start an useless thoughts series about this game

Final Frontier (Final space Western AU)
“Where the earth is soft, meanest joint in town” “I’ve seen meaner...that where they keepin’ im?”
Gary’s wide brimmed hat motioned up and down in confirmation as he turned to his partner and, briefly, considered how strange it was to see a 6 foot tall cat on the back of a normal horse. “What you staring at?” Avocato shot back and slid his trademark red revolver in and out of it’s holster, a nervous twitch, Gary could understand that.
“Nothin, just making sure you’re ready for this”
“Ready? Boy i’m gunning for every single one of those creeps, whether they’ve harmed a hair on his head or not, let’s get going!”
Avocato’s horse shot forward and Gary was quick to follow, bounding down the hill letting the blaring sun retreat behind a mountain and wash them in coolness for a few second, small comfort but the outlaw would take what he could get in times like these, heart beating faster and faster the closer they got the saloon. Any look at Avocato would show that the cat was glaring ahead, teeth bared, ready to tear some skin and shoot anything dead that wasn’t made of metal or already in the midst of an eternal sleep.
But when they busted through the saloon doors the two desperadoes found something odd, it was empty. “hmmm, guessin’ it was closed toda-”
“Not quite so lucky, the Gary!
They turned their attention towards the second floor balcony, watching a small and slightly green booger of a man make his way out to face them. “The Sheriff! Should of know you’d be involved in this, where’s the boy?”
Sheriff Jack lord climbed up on the second floor balcony and tipped his little hat at the man and the cat below. Avocato’s muzzle twitched, blood and underneath that blood was the smell of water and soap, seems the Saloon had been full today after all.... he gritted his teeth and turned to face his enemy.
“The boy’s safe, matter o’fact he’s in the cellar right now, see he’s got a hefty bounty on his head, worth more to me alive than dead. But you two....you don’t share that distinction.”
Suddenly the piano lifted off it’s legs and surged towards the two outlaws with a barrelling roar, barrelling through the door of the saloon and almost taking Gary with it but what the outlaw was quick to react, rolling forward and taking aim at the sheriff. *bang* *bang* *bang*, bullet after bullet was fired at Sheriff lord as Avocato dived behind a bar and took shots of his own, a hail of metallic fury aimed at one man and one man only.
“You and your crew been causin’ trouble round these parts for too long” Sheriff lord began, putting out his hand and bringing the bullets to a slow stop mere inches from his face, then with a flick of his finger, turning half of them to face the cat and the other half to face Gary “right after i’m done with you maggots i’m going straight for that cargo of yours.”
Flipping over a nearby table Gary closed his eyes as the bullet’s rained back down on them, splintering wood and ricocheting off of every surface, the closest one grazing right past his ankle and tearing a strip of skin with it. “you’ll never be gettin’ the map to final space, partner” he cried and looked over to see if Avocato was still here, no, good. £just have to keep him occupied for a few minutes then.
---
Littlecato could hear the commotion outside but the darkness of the cellar swallowed everything else. All he could do was sit, and wait, and hope that his dad would come through.
And sure enough....
“Hey, Junior? Shhh, don’t say a word” a furry hand was clasped around his muzzle “we’ll do all that family talkin’ business later, now we need to get you outta here.”
Still unable to see anything but recognising his father’s mild scent of beer and cigarettes, Littlecato let himself be led out in a what seemed to be a motherly direction, closer to the clanging of metal and the splintering of wood. “Some commotion going on up there” came the gentle whisper of Avocato again “i’m gonna open this up and then I need you to run.”
“Dad I wanna fight him, i’m not gonna leave you here.”
“Leave me here? What makes you think I ain’t going with you” now that they closer to the cellar door and light was beginning to peak through the rafters Littlecato’s sharp feline eyes picked up the faintest glint of a grin, and then his father’s face came into view for the first time years “you’re gonna have to put up until the cows roost, boy. Now get goin! i’m right behind ya,”
The cellar door was kicked open and the two cat’s immediately flung themselves towards the door, Gary still positioned in his shielded form behind the dense wood of the table, “You fella’s took your sweet time” he cried and, with a moment’s hesitation as he looked at it’s engraved and beautifully carved side, gripped his gun tight and threw it as hard as he could directly at the Sheriff.
Not expecting such a heavy object to come flying at him the gun whacked the small man right on his face, letting out a sharp groan and falling back onto the hard wood of the dusty, ruined Saloon, Gary knew they only had a few minutes before he recovered. “now, go!”
They jumped on their horses and bounded forward the opposite direction from where they came. Avocato and Littlecato, shielding his eyes from the heavy sunlight, on one horse and Gary on the other, bounded for the railway tracks. The outlaw didn’t need to look behind him to know the Sheriff was already in hot pursuit on his own horse, no doubt propelling it with that magical sorcery he possessed.
For a brief moment as they reached the downhill slope and approached the empty and disused train tracks Gary saw nothing and, for the first time today, felt a flash of despair...where was she? But that fear quickly turned into joy when he heard the telltale blare of a train whistle as a ten cart steam powered, souped up monstrosity came barrelling through the nearby tunnel as if to intercept them as they tried to cross.
“What in the sam hel-”
“That’s the wild one” Avocato answered his son’s question before he could even finish asking it “best pair of wheels this side of the delta. You’re gonna love it. Now get ready to....land!”
He swiftly turned around and grabbed Littlecato around the hips before swivelling back, tossing straight through the open door of the train carriage. The young cat landing with a hard thud on the wooden floors and quickly flashing out of view as the cart moved on.
“Whew! Looked like that hurt, how you gonna explain that one to im’?” Gary chuckled nervously and took his hands off his horses reigns, this was always the worst part....
As the horses ground to a halt the two desperadoes flung themselves forward, using the momentum of the sudden stop to propel themselves through the open carriage doors just like with Littlecato, both of them landing just as hard although, being experienced stowaways, not on their heads.
Nearby Sheriff Lord watched the last of the train slip by him and cursed his own arrogance, if he’d only had one person in guarding the cellar...no matter, he gave a frustrated sigh and reached into his back pocket, taking out a single bullet from the same gun Gary had just tried to kill him with. “Bounties are good an all, but I can settle for just solving a problem...”
He flicked his fingers, and sent the piece of metal flying off towards the speeding carriage, a devious grin forming on his face.
---
Avocato got up and brushed himself off as the wild one sped off towards the mountain pass, “that was good shootin’ pardner, job well done.” Gary knodded back at him and then watched as the carriage door opened and in stepped miss Quinn, his dame of the evening, and behind her, Littlecato. “how you doin’ little guy my name’s outlaw ga-” the cat walked right past him and over to his father, jumping forward and wrapping the older cat in a warm hug, both of their eyes closed tight.
“Little pardner, me and you have some catchin’ up d-”
Avocato’s eyes shot open and he stood up suddenly, falling back against edge of the carriage, hand reaching down to clutch at his side.
Littlecato took a concerned step back as Gary moved forward, “Avo, you feeling alright?” He didn’t notice the blood in Littlecato’s hands, focusing on his friend’s strange, scared expression “do you need a moment.”
The cat shook his his head, eyes growing wide and then wrenching themselves closed with pain, lifting his left paw to show an oozing, dripping hole right through the right side of his stomach.
“Take care o-of my” Avocato couldn’t speak, blooding beginning to seep through his mouth and drip to the rafter’s below “boy...”
His eye’s slipped into the back of his head and Gary jumped forward with a cry for help, for mercy, clemency from any higher being who might be listening. *no, no not him too....*
The anguished cacophony from Quinn and Littlecato behind him washing away in a sea of noise as Avocato fell back through the open door of the carriage and vanished from his sight.
Gary kept moving, disbelief, fear, anger washing over him...the sheriff, he’d left bullets behind...Avocato was gone.
Behind him Quinn was pulling Littlecato away from the doorway but Gary, Gary just pulled up his knees and sat there for a moment, then two moments, then three, even when the sounds behind descended into quiet sobbing Gary was still there. Part of him in sheer shock at what he’d saw, and part of him thinking that if he waited here long enough Avocato would swing back around and tell him it was all a ruse.
It was then that the tears came, Avocato wasn’t coming back, the fearsome outlaw Gary had lost another one...his partner was gone.
Thing’s would never be OK again.

COWBOY/RANCHER/WESTERN/THE LIKE AU GO
there are other worlds than this.
All I can imagine is some kind of wandering mortician, hanging around settlements and makeshift camps where things are about to get very, very real. She is very good at what she does, treating her customers with all due respect and care -- but she’s still feared for her face and her solemn bearing. People let her do her job, pay her for her work, and then all but beg her to leave.
Hel decked out in all black, toe to tip. From the high neck of her blouse to the all too clean boots on her feet, there is not an inch of her left exposed to the sun, decked wholly in sun-scorched black. Even her face is shielded from view, a black hat circled by a dark veil. Even so, the thinness of the material makes it easy to see her deformity from the proper angles, in bright enough light.
She’s always got whiskey, food, and a ride for anyone who has a good story for her. You can travel in her little wagon for a way, amidst the coffins and tools, if you spin her a yarn. It can be a true story, fiction, even something you heard ages ago, but so long as she’s entertained, the wheels will keep on rolling.
No one used to the setting questions her name. The West is a place to become someone new, and stranger names abound -- even if she is quick to clarify. Not like Hell, not like Christians. It’s Hel, one L. Like the old world of her ancestors, though this is all she will ever share about her family.
Despite all of this grimdark aesthetic, Hel is still an animal lover. Catch her trying to befriend other people’s horses, petting cows, and generally being an Old West Disney Princess.

Formaggio- HFH North Italy Week 2k17
This is my forst submission for the North Italy week hosted by the @hetaliafandomhub . I had said this earlier to Hub Epsilon and Pi that I dedicate this to the Hub Gods because they deserve it to the full.
We love you.
This is the prompt for day no. 2: Photography with optional AU Gakuen Hetalia.
This is Formaggio
"Say 'formaggio', fratello mio!" Italy Veneziano held the old camera in front of his face.
Italy Romano sighed but said the familiar word trying to pull a smile. After the staggering flash hit Italy Romano right in his eyes he continued to sew the oair of trousers he worked on for the 'Home Economy' class. They turned out to be more stylish than expected.
"So, fratello, have you decided about last semester's project?" Veneziano asked with a bright smile on his shiny face.
"I'll probably do something in my orbit, like a dissertation on Westerner's policy or perhaps about the importance of the first production section in our lives. What I must worry about now is the club's presentation. There's not enough time to teach the other goofs how to dance the tarantella!"
"Ugh...I'm sure you'll do great! After all you guys are excellent dancers!" Veneziano smiled.
"It will settle itself somehow...grazie mille fratello!" he placed his HB pencil on top of his ear and looked his prompts.
"La tua felicità è la mia felicità!" he kissed Romano's tanned cheek, grabbed his camera and ran outside their dormitory.
Italy checked the photo he had shot previously. His brother was really good-looking and his beauty was perfectly refelected by the device. The sunlight fell on Romano's brunet hair making it look shiny, unlike his grumpy expression. He was about to finish his assigned homework and he wished to be left alone, something Veneziano didn't grant. The photo was interesting by the sewing macchine's presence too. An old Sainger was considered to be a wonderful antique.
As he was walking inside World Academy W, he came across a pretty familiar sight; China feeding a cute panda bamboo leaves. China wasn't in the same class as North Italy, but he was a close friend from the Asian class. China noticed him too and smiled. His slanted eyes made his cheekbones almost touch his thin eyebrows.
"Nǐ hǎo Yìdàlì! Nǐ hǎo ma?" he waved at him.
North Italy walked to his peer's side and sat next to him "I wanted to ask you if I could take a picture of you and your adorable panda!"
"Of course and you can! Why did you even ask? Japan always takes shots of me and I myself can't count how many 'selfies' I have shot! Go on!" he embraced the oanda and with a childish smile he looked at the flashing light.
"Grazie mille Cina! I really appreciate it!" he let the camera hang on his neck "What theme have you chosen about your project?"
"Endangered species! I know it is common but I really want to sentisise people about it!" he was always so cheerful.
"That's really cool!" he suddenly saw France pass by the nearest corridor "If you can excuse me..."
North Italy ran to catch up with his colleague. Fortunately France was really recognisable. He wore diverse clothes, yet always in fashion, and his golden locks never were out of perfect condition.
"France! Wait!" he exclaimed hooked on France's shoulders.
"Huh? Italie! Didn't expect to see you before class!" he tried to make N. Italy relax "What's all the fuss? Big brother is here to help!" he caressed his brown, towards red, hair.
"I just wanted to take a picture of you!" Italy smiled and showed France his camera.
"Is it for the Newspaper Club? Not that I mind if you keep it private..." he scratched the back of his neck "You can always take pictures of me. J-just wait for the next break- right now I have a really important meeting to attend. It concerns the Gourmet Club!"
North Italy wouldn't miss the opportunity to interview the holly trio of cuisine even if the end of the world occured. Moreover he needed Turkey's photo too and seeing two beautiful countries together was the chance of a lifetime.
He decided to secretly follow France to their meeting point. Apparently Turkey was always waiting for the other members. He was known for his punctuality, as a sideffect of his perfectionist ideology.
France greeted his friend by kissing both of his cheeks, a common European way of greeting. Turkey responded right away and started to chat with the other club member.
N. Italy took a photo quickly and ran away trying to remain unnoticed. Giggling he hid behind the trash bin, which was located two corridors away. He checked the picture; they looked lovely as always.
"Hello," said a quiet soft voice.
Veneziano turned around. A familiar, yet unrecognisable, country had approached him. He was experiencing something like a deja vu.
"You must be Canada, America's brother!" N. Italy remembered.
"Oh yes I am...have you seen my glasses?" he asked kindly.
"I've just arrived here, but I'm more than eager to hel- they are in your cardigan's top pocket!" he touched them.
"Oh mon Dieu! Thank you...I am really silly!" he wore them again and showed Veneziano his teeth, smiling.
Italy took a photo of Canada smiling. The flash hit Canada right in the eyes so he closed them immediately.
"What was that for?" Canada pushed his glasses closer to his forehead.
"Surprise!" he exclaimed and ran away again.
Veneziano moved to the toilets. Almost no one entered but lots rpefered to hang out outside them. That particular day Russia was eating his lunch resting his back on the wall outside the boys' bathroom.
"Ciao!" Italy waved at him bravely.
Russia noticed the Italian and waved back "Privet! Want some pirozhki?" he showed the opened lunch box.
"No grazie, I have already eaten!" he sat by him.
Russia curled up and brought the lunch box next to his crooked nose. Russia, despite his large size (or even because of it) felt quite insecure around his peers. Nevertheless he was considered to be very sociable when forced to socialise.
"Could you please say 'formaggio' and smile for the camera?"
"I suppose so...why do you want a picture of me Italy/" he lifted his head.
Italy pressed to button and five seconds after the click sound the flash gave lightness to Russia's round head. He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes after.
"Because you are pretty!" Italy smiled once again with his always-closed eyes.
"Oh..."Russia flushed brightly "Spasibo! I feel flatterned!"
"You're welcome! And your food looks tasty!" he stood up and moved to his next encounter, at the wall of the girls' bathroom, Belarus.
Belarus wasn't particularly clingy to her brother that day, given that she would normally be at her brother's side. However that day she was almost three metres away by her own will.
Italy approached the young lass. He lowered his position and looked her in the eyes.
"Want to see it?" Italy took off his camera, which was hung on his cheek and presented it to his classmate.
Belarus grasped the device. She checked all its sides and proceeded on checking the image gallery. She squeeled at the sight of her beloved brother's picture however she quickly scrolled to right and saw the other countries' pictures. She laughed. She actuslly laughed.
"May I have a picture of you?" Italy asked.
"Of course!" she said still laughing.
This was Veneziano's favourite picture. He greeted the maiden again and walked to his friends' dormitories.
N. Italy was well-known to have been hanging out with Germany and Japan. They together formed the Newspaper Club which was created to inform all World Academy W students about current events, achievements and interviews.
On his way back though he entered the art room. He loved art and he was really good at it, especially at painting according to Reinessance's movements. In the art room he came across two recognisable figures, America and Greece.
"...and this happened before Jesus?" said America surprised.
'Well...yes! And many more...but I like this one in particular!" he pointed at a marble statue.
"Dude, I remember bringing one of those to the surface! They are really cool! Literally your ground is precious!" America claimed.
"I suppose so...it was all my mother's..." he snorred.
Italy took a picture of them looking at the magnificent statue and walked on the tip of his toes back to the exit. He didn't want to interrupt such an intellectual converstation. And he was afraid that he would be carried away by it too.
Thus he went quickly to Germany's bedroom and stopped his research there.
~*~
Dancing, awarding, explosions and Johan Strauss II could be mixed only in a World Academy W school year ending presentation! All the colours, the fragancies and the unbelievable sights were all gathered in the school gymnasium where all projects could be seen and all club presentation took place.
"Did you see Russia's project?" said England.
"Yes I did actually! It was exciting! I didn't know about all these musicians!" Hungary replied.
"How could you have not known? They are quite famous! Just...not for being Russian." Austria added.
"Since our projects are finished, we don't have to see them again right? We could just- oh my glob! Merlin's beards, is this me?" England moved quickly to the white wall.
No one had noticed before but the wall was covered by photos of each student of the Academy. England's specifically was taken when he was serving tea to Liechtenstein and Monaco. All of them looked really fancy and elegant.
Ameica's and Greece's photo was standing next to England's but it was surrounded by a mysterious aura like they were performing something mystic the moment the picture was taken. But what secretive could they do in the art room?
Belarus's, Russia's, Romano's, Switzerland's, Seychelles', Taiwan's, India's, South Africa's, Nigeria's, Brazil's, Peru's. Everyone's photo was taken and placed on the white dull wall of the gymnasium. It filled the room with awe and happiness.
Hungary had never seen Austria play chess, but the photo captured the moment perfectly. Neither had Belgium ever seen Sweden play with Sealand. Nor Moldova had ever seen Australia with his koalas taking a selfie with New Zealand holding a kiwi.

Pet Peeves: Watching female miqo’te talk about things that make little to no sense at all. Prejudices: Most male miqo’te are gay. Attitudes: She keeps a serious attitude most of the time, prideful to a degree. But also not forgetting about a soft side that more often than not, makes her seem like just a worried lizard mom.

hey there! I know you've only talked about it twice but i'd love to hear about your exhels western au!/nf
HI. HELLO
Okay it's been sooo long since I talked about this to anyone let me remember
If this sounds incoherent that's because I've only talked with one person about it at length, months and months ago
Where we start Ex is on the run from England for treason (what they did is unimportant, just a coup) and runs to the very edge of civilization, the heart of America. But in getting there they used all their money and has to turn to stealing, they get pretty good at it to, becoming a bit infamous.
Meanwhile Hels is deputy in a small town with Wels who is sheriff and he's so tired of it. It's boring, a stifling job under a brother he's always been seen as second best to.
So maybe when Ex comes to town and Hels happens to catch them he lets them go, maybe several times, because at least this is something new - someone new. And so maybe they fall in love and maybe they meet in the dead of night, until Wels catches them and throws Ex in jail. This is the deciding moment Hels has been waiting for, so he breaks them out and agrees to run away with them and join in on their life of crime
But there's an issue
The scar on Ex's face, under their mask. A Cheshire grin that never healed quite right the cruel reminder of why Ex will never be accepted by most people ever again.
Infection sets in quick, they didn't make it far before Ex's injury had gotten bad. Really bad. With them at deaths door and no other options Hels swallowed his pride and fear and took them back to his town.
He begged Wels not to throw them in jail or turn in Ex, to harbor them just long enough for Ex to heal and live. Wels almost didn't want to, the reward money for turning in Ex dead or alive would be enough to fix up this little town and give it new life.
But looking at his little brother on the verge of tears over this criminal, this stranger, he realized he just couldn't do it. Even though Hels had betrayed him and run away.
He called for their doctor and kept their existence in his house secret for the weeks it took Ex to heal. When he woke up one morning and they were both gone he knew chances were he'd never see either again, but he still felt like he'd made the right choice.
From there I have less of a coherent plot and more general stuff, they do have two horses a Clydesdale and an unknown breed (I know what you're thinking but there is a story reason behind the horse types), and on their journey to who knows where they slowly decide they'd like to stop being on the run and settle down for once.
Then it turns into mostly domestic fluff about them and their ranch/animals. They'd also run into other hermits too though I won't name names until I have things more thought out.
#doc says stuff#asks? answered. hotel? trivago.#exhels#exhels western au#axl writes#anon#sorry rhis took so long to answer writing is hard#i could go into way more detail about specific scenes from this ive though about#but i didn't#you can ask about specifics if you want though#hermitshipping#i guess#helsex
