Locations in The Lost Prince - Kuzgrad

When we pass the tall iron gates of Kuzgrad, I am filled with that once familiar feeling of foreboding. It is the old chill that had always awaited me at the Imperial Palace, a reminder of the ghosts that once inhabited this place. I stifle a shiver as I step from the car, looking up at the old, craggy grey face of the ancient building, unable to throw off the sense of being surveyed from the empty windows. But this place is not the Imperial Palace, a sprawl of Vasily might, no this place is darker and far more ancient, the very stones embedded with their blood, their dead, their essence. This place is older than all of the places I have ever or could ever known put together.

---------------------------------------------------

But there is no name for the little palace at sits in his shadow. It has had a hundred in the last thousand years but none of them have last the course. Veins of crumbling cobbled walls betray its ancient roots against the smooth skin of modern, smoothed facades. Turrets rise straight as lances, onion-capped and bearded with ivy. Blind gargoyles and fanciful beasts preside overhead, spotted with lichen and webbed with frost. The windows are still in their frames, the diamond panes yellowed with age.

---------------------------------------------------

Less a palace and more a house. Grandpapa always gently corrected me when I called this place a palace. Father would gruffly remind me that palaces were our vast homes in Bevulsk, Corzberg, Kosken, Derm, the Imperial Palace and Tamolasyn. Kuzgrad was merely a large manor estate compared to them.

A pair of stone wolves flank the door, watchful and blind. The door is ajar, cracked open a span of mere inches.

The shriek of the hinges sends a judder up my arm. Light brushes across the dust-coated floor, falling on the indents of fresh footprints made hours ago. The windows have been clumsily boarded up, the light fixtures and frames on the wall draped with ragged sheets. Nothing has been removed, only hidden from prying eyes.

The Lightless Path - Nova

She began to hum a soft, strange melody he did not recognise. She turned her heavy-lidded gaze on him, blue eyes like glass, and flattened a palm against the centre of his chest. The shadows around him shuddered in response, a single smokey tendril reaching out to wrap around her wrist.

[the-writer1988]

As we come to the end of one year and the start of another, I thought it would be a great idea to look ahead at what fanfictions I've got planned. Whether they all debut in 2024, I do not know!

To start with:

Tangled: Between the Kisses is an ongoing collaborative project between myself and @tangledbea and we will continue to work on this project in 2024. My hope by year's end is that we have reached the end of writing Season 2. There are a lot of fantastic storylines coming up with our S2 gang of Rapunzel, Eugene, Varian, Lance, the Captain of Corona, and Queen Arianna!

The Lost Prince is my current WIP exploring the idea of Eugene being kidnapped by Mother Gothel and used for his Moon powers. Rapunzel grew up a Princess without the sundrop with her best friend, Cassandra, who just so happens to be Eugene's hidden twin sister! Shenanigans ensue when all three meet up and secrets and lies are discovered! This fic should be finished by the end of January 2024.

Twinned Destiny is a AU spin-off of The Lost Prince. More of this prosect will be revealed once TLP is finished.

Darkest Intentions is an S3 AU. After gaining the Mind Trap, Cassandra decides to attempt to ensnare Eugere under its control after her ghost friend suggested they could use him to get the Sundrop from Rapunzel. Little does Cassandra know that her "friend" has her own plans afoot. This fic will focus heavily on the friendship of Cassandra and Eugene. I am hoping to start posting this fic early 2024...

Our Undying Dream is a callobarative project between myself and the amazing @twotangledsisters All I will say is this fic is a twist on the modern idea of Tangled and we are both really excited to share this fic with everyone! Stay tuned... for it is coming soon ...

Uprising is part one of two part duology exploring the idea of what if Old Corona had risen up against the Royal family? It is primarily a fic about Eugene and Varian. If you enjoy Eugene hurt/angst there will be plenty of it in this duology! I am hoping I can start posting this sometime in mid 2024.

The Royal Wedding is a 5-chaptered fic centered around New Dream's engagement, planning of a wedding, and their wedding day. It is going to be romantic fluff! I hope to post in February 2024 but it does depend if I've ever written it or not!

Team Awesome Adventure (untitled) is a 3-chaptered comping trip fic centered around Eugene and Varian. I hope to post this fic in March 2024!

A Queen's Story is a multi-chaptered story dealing with Arianna's grief at losing her daughter and then reuniting with the child she never saw grow up. Late 2024.

I think that is it for now...

Happy New Year everyone! See you all in 2024!

The Not-so-beginning

Look, just...I had a brain worm that I had to get out before it consumed me. I have too many WIPs as it is, so here y'all go!

MDZS - The Longest Promise Fusion AU (spoilers for, like, episode 1 of TLP, if that)

On the Northwestern edges of the empire, the fertile farmlands and busy metropolises fade into windswept grasslands and deserts. The water still runs swift and cool in its banks, but it warms in still, shallow ponds.

Life here isn’t one of scholarly or agrarian pursuits.

Xiao Qing chews on mutton rougan, the spices tingling her nose and activating her salivary glands, as she watches the soldiers run through their qiang drills. Her feet kick back and forth, the sage and emerald skirts of her dress fluttering about them from where she watches on a nearby wall. The sound of servants calling her name sound in the distance and Xiao Qing glares in that direction, stilling her legs so as not to be so easily seen where she’s blocked from behind by a tree.

“Ah Qing.”

Xiao Qing winces and turns back to the training grounds, looking straight down to see Zichen raise an eyebrow at her.

“Did you run away from your father?” he asks as he raises his hands up in silent command.

Xiao Qing huffs and kicks off the wall, specifically avoiding the arms that had been raised to catch her. “Zichen-gege, he just wants to talk about introducing me to another suitor. You know I don’t want to get married.”

“He is your father and he is looking out for you,” Zichen says as he leads her out of the training grounds and through the garden that connects to the private residence of the Xiao family.

“If he let me train, I’d be able to look out for myself,” Xiao Qing points out with a smile. “I’m better than most men out there at fighting and cultivating, anyway!”

“Yes. The Bai School had quite a bit to say of your talents when you last ran off while your father was at the capital,” Zichen says blandly.

Xiao Qing looks around warily because her father isn’t supposed to know about that trip. Zichen isn’t supposed to, either, but he’ll keep her secret if she asks him to. Zichen has been around since her father first adopted her off the streets, after all. He’s been around since before even her father was born. He’s a merfolk who has seen it all, so nothing anyone can do surprises him. She smirks for just that reason and says, “If they were of any talent, they wouldn’t have been so easily beaten by me and have to send a letter complaining.”

It’s an old argument so she isn’t disappointed or surprised when Zichen merely raises an eyebrow at her and directs her into the front rooms.

There are strangers there: women from the palace.

Inviting her to dance at the Star Gazing festival.

“Unfortunately, Ah Qing has never been one to develop her dancing,” her father attempts to apologize and turn the offer down for her.

“I’ll do it!” she jumps up to shout before he can say any more.

The women from the palace wince at her volume and Xiao Qing winces in return, hoping she hadn’t ruined everything.

“Well, she is eligible,” one of the palace ladies says.

“But it does require ability,” the other adds pointedly. “And of course, the lead dancer will always come from the Jin family, so it would only be a minor position.”

“But even then, ability is important,” the first cuts back in to say.

“Then, ladies, please enjoy yourselves and judge my ability for yourselves tomorrow,” Xiao Qing suggests at an appropriate volume with a lady-like bow (it had taken her months to get it down and her teacher and smacked her with a stick every time it was wrong until she corrected it).

“If this is truly what you want to do, Ah Qing,” her father says, turning to her with a worried frown as servants lead the palace ladies to their guest quarters.

Xiao Qing nods. “I really do, father!”

He smiles at her. “It’s good to see you taking an interest in something other than fighting and cultivating. A position like this can only help draw a good husband for you.”

Xiao Qing frowns in disagreement as she turns away. “I’m going to practice, so don’t interrupt me,” she called back before running out of the room and towards her own quarters. The Star Gazing festival was held on Jiuyi Mountain! The strongest and most powerful cultivation sect in the empire! If anywhere would have a lead to the spell she has been looking for, it would be there. For this reason, Xiao Qing has to grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and make it there.

She would finally be able to repay the Crown Prince.

-----

In a lush mountain valley far away, a gentle young man smiles wryly at his companion fluttering about, celebrating his recently-obtained human form.

“This is the prettiest face around, Sizhui!” the bird laughs as he frames his face and looks into the bronzed mirror appreciatively. “Of course I have to show it off during the Star Gazing festival. You really should come with me! Next to me, after all, who would notice you?”

“You know very well I can’t, Jingyi,” Sizhui scolds lightly. “I will not leave Emperor Valley until I turn 18.”

“The chance that one of the, what? ten? girls coming is your fated doom is highly unlikely,” Jingyi bemoans before running over to tug at Sizhui’s hand. "We'll stay far enough away that they won't meet you!"

Sizhui pushes Jingyi’s hold from him and pats his shoulder soothingly. “All the same,” he swears, “I will not go. After all, if we stay so far away they can't meet me, how would they see your pretty face?”

Sizhui doesn't laugh when Jingyi bemoans that realization. He does smile, though.

Locations in The Lost Prince - Daedenksa

The city was old by the time the Vasily built their palace on the banks of the river, centuries of history buried under numerous decades.

---------------------------------------------------

It wasn't the largest city in Vastia, not even the oldest. It had stumbled into existence, sprawling between veins of muddy rivers. Nobody had expected it to survive let alone one day become the capital, just like nobody expected the Vasily to last.

---------------------------------------------------

We walk along the curve of the canals that feed into the river, along the stone railings with the sounds of the roused city echoing around us. The stone banks are smooth, studded with lichen in places. My father had rebuilt most of the city around the palace, replacing the dirt streets with paved stone and the crumbling banks of the canal with stronger stone. He wanted to rebuild it all, give Daedenksa a city of smooth stone and get rid of all the dirt and ruin.

--------------------------------------------------

Daedenska. There is no place as bloodstained as that forsaken city. I had been born there. I had left in a storm of blood and fear, rushing headlong into the unknown. It was the last place my mother held me or I saw my father and heard my sister's voice. It was the last place I called myself safe. It was where the world broke.

I should have died there.

OC in 15

tagged by @space-writes - thanks!

Rules: share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

I'm gonna go with Aira for this!

"When all you've ever had is nothing, it's impossible to imagine having anything at all."

"Fine. But if you grab my arm like that again, I'll break yours."

"My line of work requires discretion. Not murder."

"They were ... dark. They were inside my head. I could feel them. I could feel everything."

"I was trying to find a way to get out of being a Lightsworn!"

"It doesn't seem to matter what I want. I'm not sure it ever mattered."

"Oh, it's just you. For a second there I thought I was in trouble."

"Don't you understand, Nyick? I can't do this. I was never built for this. This is not my life."

"Well, maybe you're stealthier than I gave you credit for. Are you following me?"

"I wouldn't leave without an explanation unless it was really important. But this is my problem, and I'm going to fix it. And then I'm going to come right back. I promise."

"Are you coming in? Or is whatever you have to say just as important from out there?"

"That wasn't a fight so much as getting socked in the jaw."

"I don't want an apology. I know what you think of me. I just didn't realise it went that far."

"It would be my best option. We both know you can't catch me."

"You should probably let me know now if you plan to stab me with that."

Thank you @ashen-crest for the tag!

The starlight catches in his hair in droplets like a net of pearls, luminous against the darkness. He doesn’t look real. The way the moon gleams on his lips, makes them look satiny, shiny and soft.

I want more, I think to myself. I want more than a glance and a smile.

Thanks for setting this up, @writeblrfantasy!

Rules: share as many of your favorite lines/lines you’re proud of from your wip as you want!

All rightey, let’s see what I can dig up from The Stray Spirit:

(sorry this is a bit of a long one)

 “May I see your hand?”

 “It feels fine, I promise,” he pretended to grumble as he held it out for her. He was considering making a joke about her picking up a medical degree on the way to the dining hall when she carefully rolled up his sleeve and began to massage his palm.

After that, his brain promptly shut down.

 “…Em?”

Gods, there was the nickname again.

 “I’m sorry?” He looked up from his hand, where her grip was sliding smoothly up to his fingertips.

 “I asked if you’ve lost any feeling in your fingers.”

This would be easier if he had.

 “No, no, I can feel everything,” he said, trying to sound as casual as possible. Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw Aspen staring at them from their seat on the coffee table, a wicked smirk on their face. Fortunately, Cal didn’t seem to notice as she turned his hand over.

 “And you’ll be able to play the lute just fine?” she asked, gently curling his fingers to wrap around hers. “This was my fault, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if-“

He squeezed her hand.

 “It wasn’t your fault, and yes, I’ll be able to play. Really.”

Tagging with zero pressure: @theramwrites, @inky-duchess, and @loopyhoopywrites!

Asking a handful of creators:

Do you save things that, for one reason or another, you never ended up posting? I always love seeing scrapped WIPs / deleted scenes / etc, and was just curious!

[jellazticious]

There is a fic version of the TLP pilot along with the original storyboard. I still have the original boards and plan to redo them, the written version of it (with more details and scenes than the boards do) was never completed/ in wip limbo
