#SHAMELESS SELF PROMO

[ambiguous-avery]

Hi, hello, friend! Not to be presumptuous, but I think you're talking about me! 💜💜💜 All of my love to you, bestie! @my-stories-vault, if you're interested, you can find the masterlist for my series using this concept here! It's currently being updated once a week! Ayla, please feel free to add my masterlist to yours, if you'd like! You're amazing~

Touched Introduction: An Author's Note

Here's an introduction to what a Touched is. It'll help you get your feet wet and have an idea of the creature 'Touched.' I hope you'll enjoy coming along on the adventures that will soon be shared here.

Word Count: 579

Please don't take my work. I've put a lot of thought and work into this idea, and it truly is all mine. It took lots of research to make sure things were and are accurate. Your comments, hearts, and reblogs mean the world to me.

There are no warnings for this, as it is only some information for future stories.

----------------------------------------- Touched Introduction: An Author's Note

Touched are something of an enigma. It will, of course, depend on the story with how they are viewed by not only other supernatural creatures, but also hunters, and humans. Gods from any pantheon get bored from time to time, and they need something for entertainment. Sadly, that typically means messing with humans, as they are the most fun to mess with, since the Christian God gave them free will.

I personally like Bastet. She’s from the Egyptian pantheon and is the Goddess of protection, protecting homes from evil and women and children from disease and illness. She was originally a fierce lioness warrior goddess of the sun. However, her ferocious nature may have been softened after the domestication of cats around 1500 BCE. She also had both nurturing and violent qualities, but her shielding and motherly aspects are often emphasized.

Bastet loved humans but knew she couldn’t directly interfere with their growth as a species. She could, however, choose certain humans and give them her gifts through a touch. The gifts the human received depended on the human and how Bastet’s powers interacted with their DNA. The human had to be younger than the age of five, or things always turned out badly, so she’d gotten very careful over the years.

There were two special humans, both of which had been women. One over a thousand years ago, and now this new woman, born to a family and would be an only child. These humans somehow got the ability to have healing blood, a way to keep their loved ones safe in a way no other Touched was able.

The abilities of her Touched ranged just as much as their personalities did. Everything from being able to transform into a cat that could talk or telepathically communicate to being cat-like but still looking completely human. Some could even communicate with other felines. It intrigued Bastet how each human she chose progressed throughout its life. It was the ones who had actual cat features, like ears, a tail, canines, and retractable claws, that fascinated her the most, watching how they dealt with what other humans saw as not normal.

Sometimes, just sometimes, Bastet would meddle in the affairs of other deities or supernatural creatures. Like the time, in one story, where she gave her gifts to the Christian God’s biological daughter. Or, in another story where she gave it to a Nephilim. Okay, perhaps that happened more than just once, but it was well worth the outcome.

Sadly, Bastet could never interact with her Touched. It was like a curse. Once the gift was given, the Deity was forced to watch from afar, unable to guide them directly. Bastet sometimes left clues with the child’s parents so they could guide the child, but sometimes, things turned badly for the child.

These are the stories of Bastet’s Touched. There will be series and one-shots, perhaps even two-parters. No two will be related, but now you have some information when you get to embark on the journey as the Touched and learning to navigate the world in so many different scenarios. I hope you enjoy the fun little things that have played through my mind over the last almost two years when this creature creation came to me. I did need something that would survive the perils that consistently tend to befall anyone who gets too close to the Winchesters, no matter what universe they end up in or come from.

What if the Court of Nightmares rebelled against Rhysand?

Chapter 1 of my fic about the rebellion in the Court of Nightmares has been posted to my ao3 here!

If you're interested, please check it out and leave a comment!

Long before Amarantha came to Prythian, an eldest daughter from the Court of Nightmares entered into a marriage with Rhysand, the future High Lord of Night. It was a political arrangement and not a particularly happy union, but it was necessary to prevent unrest in the Hewn City. Unfortunately, centuries pass and Amarantha's reign leaves scars all across the land. Prythian's stability is questioned. The Bride of Spring is stolen. And the Lady of Night mysteriously ends up dead after discovering that Rhysand has found his mate.

When news of her death arrives, the Hewn City is pushed to its breaking point. A rebellion sparks and the flames are fanned by centuries of abuse and mistreatment. Rhysand may not believe there are any dreamers left in the Court of Nightmares, but he's wrong--and those dreamers vow to be his downfall.

I will never read these 6 books I wrote

I noticed the Chinese translations of BILLY SMITH AND THE GOBLINS (6 volumes in translation as opposed to 3 in English) are available on Amazon. It's an odd feeling knowing that I'll never be able to read these, and I have no idea if they're any good, nor do I know the name of the translator, and I'll probably never meet her/him.

I am curious about them though. Has anyone ever read them? Are they good? How did the translator render the goblin language, dialect, and names in Chinese characters? How would a native Chinese reader interpret the politics, especially of Sawtooth in Book 1 and of the Hanorian Empire in Book 3.

I have a lot of questions.

And I'll probably never get answer. Which, in the age of the internet, is weird.

Anyway, buy my books, maybe even in Chinese!

And hey, let's all take a look at Tom Fowler's awesome cover art again because I love it.

Not particularly inclined to write it, but as I brainstormed for a potential part two for my Spiderman- Nightwing crossover:

Bruce: "It wasn't bad enough that you revealed your secret identity to him, now he's coming here?"

Dick: "I was living at his house and he's from another universe, it barely even matters!"

Alfred: "Apologies, for the interruption, but I feel like you might want to see this." *turns on the telly*

Vicki Vale: "--bring you this shocking footage from [Rogue] who's taken hostages."

*plot relevant videoing*

"My name is Peter Parker, I'm just a tourist."

*more plot-relevant video material*

Vicki Vale: "There you have it. [Rogue] has struck again, this time kidnapping an innocent teenager from... we think Metropolis?

Bruce and Dick in the Batcave:

Dick: "I can go get him."

This is a complete mess and quite incoherent, but it is as far as I'm personally willing to get because this is funny to me.

Tried my hand at creating individual game score for PWHL games to measure (primarily offensive) impact, then looked at each player's average game score over 60 minutes of Time on Ice and how rosters shake out with all players average game score

Sources, method, limitations, and all numbers are inside!
