The immediate follow-up of the big Feral Leyya boss fight. That's two young women who are going to go, bloody and furious and exhausted, to beat the shit out of Eparch. Part of our rewrite shenaniganery.

Featuring @wall-legion's Odetta Swanheart.

Leyya is trans and uses she/her pronouns.

I feel like all of these are rly underrated pairings

Ficlet idea

She felt like a creep for what she was about to do. Admittedly it wasn't the worst thing in the world: it wasn't a crime to look at someone. Sneaking around about it like she was back in her foster home and trying to avoid being caught out after bedtime, though, that was something different. Odetta shook her head a little, mentally pushing the thought of that house in Divinity's Reach away as she did, before gently combing her fingers through her fine blond hair. She was going to talk to that handsome young man, Zio, today even if it killed her from embarrassment.

Mouthwashing as WarriorCats for some reason, i love mouthclan, washclan, spaceclan, whateverclan

Curly: His first name was LittleCurl (iykyk) because of being born a runt and his fur, he then changed his name to burnhaze due to the colour of his fur and his sight, and when he became the leader his name was changed to burnstar, which is a reference to his fate in the game and also the scene of him in space burning up in the stars.

Jimmy: Burnstar's deputy, his name references his manipulation but how distorted his perspective and narrative is over the game's story. His fur would be quite long and mattered, he's always dishevelled and a bit scruffy with blood on his claws.

Anya: Anya's name I wasn't the most sure about, nor am i fully sure on it, but she would be the colony's medicine cat, the leaf part reflects that as it is a common suffix for medicine cats. i may change her name to nightleaf or duskleaf or something similar.

Swansea: Swansea funnily was the reason why i drew the group as warrior cats as his name is a valid. I wanted to keep the swan part as that is an important reference in the game due to swans mercy killing their young. I thought that heart would be a good addition so his name isn't just the exact same, because despite being a grumpy old warrior, he still is a softie deep down and genuinely cares about the others. minus jimmy.

Daisuke: Daisuke I wasn't the most sure of, i wanted him to be flower themed due to all the hibiscus imagery that is associated with him, however I can see him being named wild as a kit over his nature and his chaos and bright energy in the game. he is swanheart's apprentice, because of course. I'm not fully sure on his name.

the names may change but these are what i have for now

Miss Odetta Swanheart, a secret santa gift for @wall-legion! Was fun scouring her tag for Themes to put into her portrait :)

[wall-legion]

[record scratch]

Yup that's me Odetta.

So that picture of Lucretia? Was photobombed by a divebombing...I think Odetta? Not sure, there for the hud-hidden screenshot and gone on the next! Kinda like how I kept missing any shots of @i-mybrunettelady's Alysannyra! (I have like. Two shots of her. And none of them are front facing with hud-hidden.)

[sectumsempraxz]

Yes I'm listening to Nightwish old albums while I think about Crowley alone crying over Aziraphale

[bonefall]

hi bonefall! I decided to translate my warriors ocs in clanmew ! they're a big-ish family so I thought it'd be fun to do

Starting off with the two parents:

hrrushai / hrrukafyar - dovestar / doveblaze (dovewildfire)

Hrrushai / hrruawhaf - pigeonstar / pigeondawn (rock pigeondawn)

I realized when writing this they had the same suffix which I know is intentional cuz you said it but I thought it was funny

And their children

huopwyr / huofyn - owlpaw / owlflame (owlflame)

yi'ipwyr / yi'iwish - hawkpaw / hawkheather (sparrow hawkbell heather)

hchombabun - swanheart (swanheart)

wipiwickharryr - finchcloud (quial quick moving cloud) (couldn't find the word for finch)

mraawawmun - crowdusk (crowdusk)

also! bonus!

hchomkee - swanmoth (swaninsect) shes hrruawhafs sister and hchombabun is named after her, she's a fun aunt :p

hope you have a nice day!

It's surprisingly unknown that doves and rock pigeons are the same animal! Clan cats recognize these as the same species, doves are just a white rock pigeon.

You could say, to Clan cats, they see no difference...... dove is dove

Notably though a white rock pigeon would be less beautiful to Clan cats than the gorgeous, rainbow-necked standard color. The word for pigeon they're usually using is Huwoohoo, referencing a wood pigeon

(The bird that gives me echolalia almost as bad as morning doves. Btw if they did have morning doves they would call it a Hoowu)

Anyway, I made a Finch Expansion last night that you'll be interested in!

I WANT LIZCHESS/SWANHEARTS

[ratasum]

A reunion in the Skywatch Archipelago medical ward. Odetta checks in on Leyya after the fight is over.

"Her injuries are healing nicely, for the most part." Narcisse's voice was soft, mindful of the recovering wounded through the medical ward. "They couldn't save her eye, but she'll keep the arm. It may be a while before she's able to use it well again."

Odetta was wringing her hands together as she followed the sylvari. Since they'd been here, everything had seemed to go sideways, and everything with Leyya in Nayos had been the icing on the worst cake she'd ever seen. She hadn't even had the chance to see or speak with Zojja since they got back. It was worrying.

That, however, wasn't important at the moment. What was important was making certain Leyya was all right.

"Knowing Leyya, she'll figure it out. She's very determined."

That got a chuckle out of Narcisse, who moved aside once the pair arrived at Leyya's bedside. "I'll give you some time to speak with her, but she'll need rest."

Tipping her head forward slightly, Narcisse slipped away, leaving Odetta to sit down on the edge of the bed where the white haired asura lay quietly. She was quiet for a moment, not wanting to disturb her, but Leyya shifted slightly once she sat. "Mmh... Odetta?"

"Hey there." Odetta smiled softly, looking over the asura in the cot. Leyya looked exhausted, her pale hair mussed, thick bandages wrapped around her injured right arm and a thick patch covering her lost right eye. But she was alive, which was more than anyone could've hoped for. "How are you feeling?"

Leyya scrunched her nose up slightly before groaning softly, turning her head slightly to look up at her friend. "Sore. Tired. But I'm on this side of the topsoil, so I don't really think I can complain."

Odetta's nose scrunched up in response, reaching out to smooth the sheets covering Leyya's frame. "I suppose that's true. I'm still really sorry this happened. You could've- what if you'd lost your arm too? Or worse?"

"No use dwelling on the what-ifs." She reached out to grab Odetta's hand, pausing its movement. "I did something stupid. I could've hurt you guys. You, Zojja, Logan, Dagda, Lyhr... I wouldn't have forgiven yourself if Cepir and I had hurt any of you. We shouldn't have even tried a stunt like that."

Shaking her head, Odetta curled her fingers in the sheet. "You were trying to help. There was just... a lot going on."

Leyya offered a wan smile at that. "I don't think that quite justifies it, but it is what it is. What about you? I couldn't see much, or at least not make sense of it, but I heard shouting about Alistair...?"

Odetta hesitated, worrying her bottom lip with her teeth for a moment. "...Mr. Thackeray- Logan- killed him. I guess Isgarren saw that as a positive? Something about them not trusting him anyway. Though why you'd bring on someone you didn't trust..."

"Well, I know a thing or two about second chances." Leyya pressed back into the pillows further. "He just screwed up his." Silence fell between the two for several moments as Odetta worked her hand free, carefully adjusting pillows and blankets, anything to keep her hands busy, before Leyya spoke again. "...have you talked to Zojja?"

"...not since we got back. She said she had a lot on her mind and wanted to think. I don't know. Do you think she'll stay?"

"...if she does, I'll support her choice. I don't like it, but... that's not my business." Leyya wasn't looking at Odetta as she spoke, gazing instead with her remaining good eye up towards the ceiling. "We'll know eventually I guess."

Frowning, Odetta leaned back, letting out a soft sigh. "I hadn't realized how unhappy she was."

Leyya shrugged, wincing when the movement pulled at her injured arm. "I don't know that she's been unhappy. Zojja's always been like this. She'll be so sure she has a problem handled but then it gets out of hand. She doesn't know what to do, so... she reacts. Been like that since we were kids."

Odetta lowered her head briefly, but after a moment, she smiled, tucking the sheets gently around Leyya's shoulders. Maybe it didn't reach her eyes, but she was trying. "Well, whatever happens, we'll deal with it together. We'll be okay. But for now, Narcisse said you need a lot of rest to get better. And getting better needs to be your absolute first priority."

"If you say so." Leyya did close her eyes, though, resting her head back. "We'll be okay."

"I know." Odetta went to stand up. "...I know we will be."

My personal Nightwish album ranking even though nobody asked

1. Century Child

2. Dark Passion Play

3. Oceanborn

4. Once (though I'm REALLY not sure which should be #3, Once or OB)

5. Imaginaerum

6. Wishmaster

7. Angels Fall First

8. Endless Forms Most Beautiful

9. Human Nature (SORRY, it's not bad, the other ones are just really awesome)

BEST SONGS FROM EACH ALBUM

I love Nightwish an abnormal amount so for this list, I decided to be very selective - to qualify as a "best song" for this list, it needs to be something I would play at my wedding (or equivalent big life event xD) (ignore the fact that not all of the lyrics in these are appropriate for Public Playing at Big Life Events - I just picked that example to convey the importance of the songs)

Century Child: ALL OF THEM

Dark Passion Play: TPATP, BBB, Amaranth, MPG, Sahara, WBTN, 7 Days to the Wolves, Meadows of Heaven

Oceanborn: Stargazers, Swanheart, Moondance, Sleeping Sun

Once: Dark Chest, Romanticide, GLS. Ghost Love Score basically counts as two or three amazing songs

Imaginaerum: Storytime, SLS, IWMTB, TLTM, LROTD

Wishmaster: She is My Sin, Wanderlust, uhhh it's really solid as a whole?? It also has the most interchangeable songs though fjfkkf

Angels Fall First: Elvenpath, Angels Fall First, Lappi (parts I & III)

Endless Forms Most Beautiful: I like it a lot because of the associated memories - it was the first album I Eagerly Awaited, and I actually saw Nightwish irl for the first time because there was an album signing event that I went past on an escalator lol. Didn't get anything signed because the line was very long and my parents dragged me away to an event we had to go to. I did get to go to several tour spots for the EFMB tour later and see them there :') think the only standout songs for me are Yours is An Empty Hope, ODITS and TGSOE, though. The best song from this era is actually Sagan and I'm annoyed it's not on the album xD I have the band shirt design with Sagan lyrics tho and I love it so much, one of my favourite pieces of clothing

Human Nature: Not many standouts for me I'm afraid... I like it!!! It just hasn't stuck with me like the rest. I did listen to the orchestral "side" constantly while studying for my uni entrance exams, which was nice. If I have to pick favourite songs it's probably Noise and Endlessness? Absolutely hate Harvest tho, which is very rare for me with Nightwish songs jsjfkdkdkdkd. It was one of the prereleased songs afaik and I remember walking through a grocery store listening to it and being really disappointed. Rip I can't believe my least favourite NW member is the one I've talked to IRL - we ran into each other the morning after a show lol

Don't Make Me

Countess Anise hated coming to Lion's Arch. It was so disorderly and uncouth compared to Divinity's Reach. She sniffed as she passed a female charr, dressed in pirate's garb and arm in arm with a norn male who was dressed similarly. Pirates, she thought to herself with a sniff. What is their council thinking, letting piracy continue unchecked in their ports? But then again their council was mostly run by current and former pirates, so one had to take that into consideration she supposed.

She tipped her chin up and picked up her pace through the streets, wishing she had sent Logan on this errand instead for a brief moment... but no, he would be useless, as usual. Thackeray was a tool, a hammer to swing when you had a nail in sight, but otherwise he was too much "of the people" to be practical when it came time for anything that required more than a little finesse and likely any words that would come up with more than two syllables. Beyond that, her target was one of his little projects so that would likely have led to him getting distracted by small talk. No, as badly as she would have liked to avoided this whole job by sending him in her place, she knew deep down she needed to be the one to do this.

It took another few minutes of walking and a brief stop to check her directions with a local, but finally she stopped in front of her destination: a narrow, two-story building that clearly housed a storefront on the first floor and all its living space in the upstairs. The small wooden sign hung over the door read "Rose and Moon Soapcrafting". As she watched, someone left and called a goodbye over their shoulder through the door.

Good. She was home.

Anise strode forward, pulling the door open to step inside and slide to the side to hopefully disappear from sight. There were a few other people in the shop at the moment, a norn woman who appeared to be making a delivery to the girl while a charr couple appeared to be shopping together and an asura was browsing on their own. The girl was cheerily thanking the norn for the delivery, and hadn't appeared to notice that Anise had entered at all.

She tentatively took a few more steps to the side, as her target started focusing on the charr couple, so she could peek through the door behind the counter. Her breath caught in her throat at what she saw next.

The rumors were true: she was harboring a monster. It was tall enough that if it stood up straight its head would touch the ceiling, had two extra limbs emerging from its back to hand it tools and bottles from the shelves, and eyes the color of bloodstone.

Eyes that were now meeting hers, and narrowing.

"Who are you?" it said, setting down the bowl it was holding and starting towards her. Despite herself, Anise stepped backwards and reached for her scepter.

That was when the world froze for her.

"No weapons in my shop." The girl finally came out from behind the counter, holding a shield that was faintly glowing. She must have had it under the counter, Anise thought as she watched her easily slide it onto her back. "This is a nice establishment, after all."

"Could have fooled me," Anise managed to growl through her magically-shut teeth.

"And here I thought the nobility were taught manners. Silly me." She turned to look at the asura. "I'll be right back with you for that order for Bayside Boutique in just a moment. Let me deal with... this."

The asura just tittered. "Oh please. Don't rush on my account."

Anise would have grimaced if she could, but instead she was picked up by the thing and lugged into the back, only to be tied up in a chair just in time for the spell to drop. She took the opportunity to kick the beast in one of the arms as it was finishing a knot. "You should have died in the jungle with the rest of your disgusting siblings-"

"I know." It tied her legs to the chair after that and stood up, eyes downcast. "I know." With that, it left her, and she sat in the back room of the soap shop for at least twenty minutes before the girl finally came back to join her.

"I apologize for Sheridan," she said as she entered, with the monster- apparently she called it Sheridan- not far behind. She produced a dagger from a fold of her skirt. "They're very protective."

"It's certainly something. How'd you teach it to talk?"

Odetta frowned sharply at that. "They knew how to talk when they were a sylvari, and retained it through the blighting." She cut the ropes away and Anise stood up, stretching briefly. "What do you want?" "I'm here to speak to you in regards to the recent... phenomenon that occurred in Garenhoff." Odetta's eyebrow quirked at that. "Are you accusing me of making an entire tower of disappearing, Countess? I had a very large order to complete for Mr. Oskar Garoldsen of the Bayside Boutique, I didn't have time for that kind of nonsense."

"Besides that, Odetta would never do anything of that sort. She is too kind." "Thank you, Sheridan." "Too kind, perhaps, to freaks," Anise muttered. "And what is that supposed to mean-?" the thing snarled. Anise recoiled at seeing the mouthful of fangs it had. She couldn't recall any of the Mordrem she had seen to have teeth such as these. "Kindly recall your snapdragon, before I have to do something you'll regret." "Sheridan." Odetta laid a hand on its arm and looked up at it. "Please. It's fine. The countess will be brief and then she'll leave. Won't she?" Anise watched as the Mordrem backed off, and privately wondered when the orphan had grown such a backbone. "As I was saying, the incident in Garenhoff has her majesty's attentions, and she is requesting that it be addressed promptly. I'm sure you know that your commander is... well..." "Commander Firstblood is in the process of getting married as I understand it, via Olmakhan customs," Odetta said cheerily. The girl seemed to revel in celebrating the other races' weirdness. "We've received an invite." "Goody. And of course the others who have previously been commanders in your guild-" "Oaklinna stepped down after Traehearne's passing, and Vezz and Rissia have their children to mind now." "Of course. But most importantly, her majesty wishes this to be handled... well, this requires a human touch." Odetta gave her a long look. "The elder dragons never required a specific race. Why start now?" "Because Garenhoff specifically lies within human territories, and has for a very long time. We don't know who is in that tower, and the last thing we should be doing is sending another race in there to muck up anything we could potentially utilize-!" Anise drew herself up. She had misspoke, and she knew it. Odetta stood very straight, blue eyes glowing faintly from her magic starting to build. "Countess, I may have been a citizen of Divinity's Reach and of the Queen, but I left it behind as soon as I was of adult age. I've lived here in Lion's Arch- which, I'll remind you since you and apparently Queen Jennah seem to have forgotten, is not a part of the kingdom she reigns over- for almost ten years now. I have this little business now. I have my friends. Do you think I give one shard of bark off Melandru's leafy ass about where you two want me to go?" She flicked her hands, and Anise looked down to see a portal start opening beneath her. "I took a moment after Sheridan saw to you to go to the beach and place the end portal for you. I think a little fresh sea air would do you a world of good, Countess. Clear your head and get those silly ideas about me leaping when you say 'jump' out." "You wouldn't-" Anise started. "I would." Odetta made the final movement for the spell with her left hand, and Anise felt herself start to fall. "Do give the Queen my best. And good luck with that tower problem." As soon as the other woman was gone and her shrill, angry scream had stopped emerging from the portal, Odetta quickly moved to close the portal so she couldn't come back through before sitting down in the now empty chair. "You were very brave just now," Sheridan said after a moment. "Thank you," Odetta said. "I didn't feel brave. I felt terrified." "Well, you didn't let it show. -I locked the front door and put the closed sign up, to be safe." "Oh, Sheridan, you're a blessing." There was a noise on the stairs behind Sheridan, and they both immediately looked as someone started down the stairs from their residence above. What began as panic though, gave way to relief and slight embarrassment as it was only Leyya. "What in the Alchemy was all that noise?" she demanded. "I woke up to someone shrieking!" "...we'll explain over a cup of tea."
