Reflection R(t)uesday

Another great tumblr trend I was tagged in by @pixiedurango!

The game:

Post an excerpt of one of your WIP's.

Maybe add some new words, even.

Brush it up.

Fall in love with it all over again, maybe.

Share it. Be proud of it. Use the tag #reflection rtuesday also tag a few of your fellow artists, you'd be curious to see what they may have stored away in their wip folders.

Here goes mine! I was working in a collab with @missingnozw (to be accurate, our SECOND collab) and I left part of this written, still don't know if we are going to use it or not. Alecto "Rook" de Riva has been banished from Treviso after the antaam incident, and for now lives in Rivain under another name, trying to know who she is. But some of the rival Houses may try to eliminate her to damage the Fifth House...

Within seconds a man emerged from the adjoining alley, dressed in purple and black. A Crow. Fuck, exactly what she needed. “Look who we have here: De Riva's bitch, no less. You're a long way from home, Sombra.” His tone was not conciliatory in the least. Alecto recognized him: Guido Kortez. They had some meetings in the past, and not exactly friendly. The woman stopped in her tracks, letting him approach her until they were only a few feet apart. “Kortez! To what do I owe the inexistent honor of your visit?” “Fate, of course. The truth is, I had an outstanding contract in the city and my target wanted to trade his life in exchange for information about a newly arrived Antivan. Unfortunately for him, he died after telling me about her” Guido replied, arrogantly, letting out a chuckle. “What's a woman with your skills doing wasting them in this shithole of a town?” Shit. Was it never going to end? She'd left her homeland months ago, had gone out of her way to keep a low profile, and yet the fucking Maker had decided to put a Crow from a rival House in her path, a particularly asshole one to be exact. “It's a peaceful life” She said nonchalantly. Guido began to walk tracing a wide circle around her, a movement she accompanied in the opposite direction. Watching them was like contemplating a dance in which one of them wasn't going to make it out alive.

“The matter is that happens to be a contract on your head. You've been very clever at throwing everyone off the scent, but I'm afraid it ends here and now.” “And if it doesn't?” Alecto's tone was calm, but menacing. “You're not important anymore, Sombra, not since you're not fucking your Talon. He can't protect you anymore” It was Alecto's turn to smirk at him. “You know, you should try it. Maybe then Emil would find some use for you.”

I am eager to see more of @nyx-de-riva @rookinthecrownest and @ezriell!

Ooooo A letter from an enemy regarding Rook?

🫡 Thank you for asking!

My Dear Viago,

Greetings from Seleny; the weather is simply gorgeous here in the summers. I do hope you are faring as well in Salle.

I’ve been asked to write to you regarding a matter of discussion amongst some of the Talons. They have recently expressed concern about a certain member of your House, who is known for their unorthodox methods. I believe you know of whom I speak.

The others have found that this agent— while often as efficacious as you say— can be disruptive. They seldom carry out orders as directed. Their technique, while impressive, lacks discipline. Surely, House de Riva does not wish to be represented by such an indecorous individual. I can say for certain that your predecessor would never have allowed it.

We wish to extend our assistance (should it prove necessary) in removing this cowbird from your nest, so to speak. I have heard that the weather in Ventus is beautiful this time of year-- perhaps they might enjoy a sojourn in the Imperium? I can arrange it.

Do let me know if the thought appeals.

Yours Most Sincerely,

Emil Kortez, Fourth Talon

BONUS:

Emil,

It does not.

— Viago de Riva, Fifth Talon

they need to reveal the antivan crow rook's last name STAT i wanna know what house theyre from ! ! ! ! ! !

[mediawithpaydaymusic]

So since i got nothing much to show here, here's my homestuck fantroll! His name is Mertal Kortez, he's an mutant violet blood and a knight of blood respectfully. Most of his whole deal is that he tries to survive the meteor created by the original 12 trolls, wich just ends up in him locking himself in an solo session and by extension dooming his timeline by being alive in the first place. But he works his way around and scratches his own timeline multiple times in hopes that him being alive doesn't mean an instant game over. I dont have much else planned for him

flash fiction saturday

alliteration be damned i guess because it's way easier for me to do these on saturdays rather than fridays (ignoring last week when i was sick of course)

this week we've got religious trauma, trauma trauma, dog metaphors-- not what i had originally planned at all!

Had Dáire been a religious person, it would have been easy enough to convince themself that the Maker and Andraste both smiled down upon them, Canticle of Transfigurations be damned. That out of all of the Crows in all of Antiva, that this one singular contract was assigned to them was too much of a coincidence to be anything but divine intervention.

See how easy that was? All you had to do was leave out the fact that the contract was for a man’s life in exchange for a few dozen sovereigns. Boiling death down to a simple business transaction was the Crow way. Nothing paired better with dueling leathers than a little hypocrisy.

Well, except for possibly a cape.

Dáire shifted uncomfortably in their carriage. It would've been easier if they had been the religious sort. If they could’ve just believed there was some mystical all-powerful being and his bride watching and guiding them from beyond the Veil, they could've easily twisted and contorted themself into believing that everything they had done was Good and Right and that the man back in Salle holding their leash held it for their own safety. Hell, they probably could’ve made themself believe there wasn't even a leash at all.

Maybe then they wouldn't feel the impossible weight of guilt strapped to their thigh in the form of a mageknife. Maybe then tapping into the Fade wouldn't come with a wave of nausea threatening to drown them. Maybe then they wouldn't be haunted by the ghosts of House Kortez. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

But as the towering city of Carastes grew closer, the maybes turned to ash on their tongue. You see, there was another fact that Dáire had left out but they weren't ready to admit that yet.

rook story prompts 4

Hey, thanks for asking!! <3 The Rook Story Time prompts are [here]! I have answered 1, and I’m working on 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 33

4. A time Rook made a personal enemy.

“Enemies? I don’t have any— who would dislike me? Well, Ghilan’nain and Elgar’nan, but that’s because they have some serious personality flaws.

“Although, I suppose there was that Talon, the one Viago and the rest killed. He didn’t like me. I admit I wasn’t as upset as I could have been, when I found out he died. Horrible business, him working with the Antaam and everything, but at least there was one less shithead in the world when it was over.

“Why? I have no idea. Perhaps he was jealous that I’m smarter and better-looking than he ever was? I did beat him at cards a few times— he was really terrible, I didn’t even need to cheat. Of course, I did, anyway, but I didn’t need to.

“Oh, and… well, there was that ‘friendly sparring match’ we had. Didn’t go his way. He seemed pretty upset when I disarmed him, but he wasn’t even half the swordsman Viago is— I’ve had harder spars after he’s poisoned himself.

“I suppose it was embarrassing, with so many people there, but he was the one who wanted to fight— we were supposed to be dancing! He just got himself worked up over that comment I made at dinner, about how his clothes were out of date and his garrote technique was sloppy, which was so childish of him! And I wouldn’t have even said anything, except for the way he was looking at Viago, all… patronizing.

“So, it was really his fault. Anyone else would have done the same— and he turned out to be a traitor, in the end, so perhaps it was just my flawless instincts, again.”
