A SHADOW IN THE RISING SUN

This is a story about the Ghost King. Will Solace (crown prince in the Seventh Kingdom, politically useless as it may be) does not particularly want to be married to a thing of nightmares. He doesn't really have a choice, though. When does he ever? He allows his father to push him led into this politically advantageous, beauracratically necessary arrangement without too many complaints, and resigns himself to the fact he will be marrying a tyrant out of the tall tales his mother used to tell him when he was a boy. Except then he meets his husband - a boy, and one younger than he is at that! - and realises that he has absolutely no idea what to expect. All he can hope for is that no one tries to kill him.

The Raven and the vampire

Chapter 1

This is a Twilight and marvel mashup, the daughter of loki finds her soulmate in jasper Cullen and the twists and turns it will take them both

As of 11/21/24 i've redone this story it is no longer a reader insert. I want to thank everyone who liked the original and hope you like the updated version more, this was my first ever fic and i've slowly grown as a writer so everyone enjoy

It begins like every other day on Asgard, sunny and golden, gilded with light, as the sounds of a baby’s wails break the silence of the healing wing. Loki paces back and forth, waiting to be with his wife and newborn. The doors swing open, and an attendant comes forward. 

“You may enter your highnes. Your wife and child are all cleaned up and waiting for you.”. Brushing past the attendant, Loki heads straight for the figure sitting against the backboard of the green silk bed.

“My darling, how are you? How do you feel? Do you need anything? Are you hung/…’.. 

“/Loki, calm down. I'm perfectly fine.  A little tired, but it was all worth it to finally meet our daughter.”

“it’s a girl?” 

“Yes, my son,”  comes the voice of Frigga, queen of Asgard, as she walks over to the bed with a wrapped bundle in her arms. “She is a beautiful baby princess, and here she is, ready to meet her parents.” Walking to the new parents with a bundle of green and gold cloth in her hands, Frigga handed the new princess to her mother.  

The baby was a light blue with raised markings prominent on her body, tufts of deep black hair crowning her head, and scarlet eyes opened to take in her parents. Lady Sigyn didn't even pause at the baby’s coloring,  long since having broken Loki of thinking himself a monster due to his heritage. 

“She is half Jotun as we expected, but her body should adjust to the environment soon just as her father did,” Frigga states, noticing her son had yet to say anything as he simply stared at his daughter's small form resting in his beloved's arms, slowly offering his finger to the baby girl. Skin turning blue as the babe gripped it in her tiny hands.

“She’s beautiful,” 

“Yes, she is, oh, Loki look,”

The new parents watched as scarlet eyes gave way to white with beautiful amethyst irises, skin turning a beautiful pale like her father's with a dashing of freckles like her mother's.  

“She looks like you, my love, beautiful dark hair.” 

“She looks like the both of us, a perfect blend. Elara Frigga Lokidottir, Princess of Asgard.

 Our  little raven.”

Eight hundred years have passed, and the young princess has blossomed into a woman of grace and beauty. Like her father and grandmother before her, she is a mage, as well as a warrior in her own right. How could she not be, with private training from an actual Valkyrie, not to mention her aunt and uncle— The goddess of war and the god of thunder (who is affectionately referred to as the "god of sparkles")

Through many trials and tribulations, she has grown. Throughout her life, she has been surrounded by love—seeing it in her parents' faces as they look at each other, her baby brother's eyes as he babbles up at her, and the warmth of her grandparents, uncle, and many others. She has also heard countless stories of love that were never discovered and tragic tales of love found only to be lost. 

“Mother, father, I've done it.” Elara omimite as she bursts into her parent's sitting room. 

Sigyn was sitting on the floor with the twins as they had tummy time, while Loki was next to her, legs crossed at the ankle, reading a book to the two of them. Both looked up as their oldest came into the room.

`What is that, my little raven?” 

“ Father, I've completed the spell to find my soulmate.” 

“Soulmate? Spell? Darling, what are you talking about? You're still so young. You shouldn’t be worried about that yet.”

“Mother, you and father were only 200 years older than me when you both finally married, and much younger than that the first time you met, you started frolicking with each other. Uncle Thor has told me as such. Besides, I'm ready. I want to have what all of you have, especially before I'm used as a pawn to help diplomatic affairs.”

At this, Loki stands, embarrassing his daughter and ushering her into the lounge between him and her mother. Though Elara had grown 800 years in Asgard, it only made her about 18- 20 in human terms. And yes, she was old enough to start being courted. He selfishly thought that time wouldn't come for much longer. His wife's voice breaks him of his 

“My little raven, we would never allow the Allfather or anyone else to use you as a pawn, you know that, right?

“You can try, Mother, but we never know what the future holds, and I don't want to wait anymore. Besides, Father is the one who gave me the idea to begin with.”

“Loki, why am I not surprised you are somehow involved with our daughter trying to leave?” 

“Dear, it will all be fine. I would want nothing to harm our little raven, but she is right; now we are at peace, but that can easily change. I want her to be able to choose her path instead of others doing it for her.” 

“And it not just to spurn the Allfather.” 

“While that is always a bonus, no, Mother even agreed with me. Our little princess is grown, whether we like it or not; now go ahead, love, tell us what you’ve discovered,” Loki states as he kisses his wife, soothing her while gesturing to Elara to carry on.

“ Mother?”

Sigyn pinches her mouth, looking between her mischievous husband and equally energetic eldest. 

“Fine, I will go along with you and your father's plans, but I wish to be there when the spell is cast and part of the travel discussions.”

“Absolutely, Mother, I can do the spell now; I just need the maps of the realms.”

Loki summons all the maps he's collected over the years, including a globe of Earth, and sets them up for his daughter when a thought occurs to him.

“Odin forbid this adventure; send you to Midgard.”

“Loki, we will support whoever it is and wherever it takes her. Besides, if you didn’t want her to go away, you shouldn’t have helped her make the spell to begin with.” 

“Your words cut deep, my love. I simply hoped for her future match to be here in Asgard.” 

“As you’ve said, my dear. Now, sweetie, let's proceed with this event.” 

The maps of the realms litter the giant green carpet. In front of Elara, she sets the small golden bowl with the spells and concoctions as she draws the needed ruins.

“So I modified a spell to find a lost item and a spell to show your heart's desire, combining the two with a complicated magic circle. I should be able to find my soulmate”, 

“Very impressive, little raven” 

“Thank you, Father,” Elara says before beginning. 

Purple magic flows from her fingers toward the bowl. The power quickly spreads out, forming a magic circle, and as soon as it is complete, a bright, pulsing light shoots up. 

The light dances around Elara and her parents several times before shooting to the maps.

“It's working!” Sigyn happily claps in awe, watching her daughter work.

Pulsing around the realms maps, the light simply hoovers before shooting for the Midgardian globe, encasing it insistently. 

“Oh joy, my daughter's soulmate is a Midgardian.”

“Honestly, I think it serves you right, Loki,” Sigyn states, picking at her husband and his distaste for Midgardians, “but you don’t even know who or what this midgarden is. Who knows, they could be gifted like our dear Wanda.”

“Yes, my darling,” Loki says as he collapses on the nearest couch.

“Well, go on, my little raven, let's see where in Midgard you will be visiting.”

Walking over to the globe, Elara peers over to what small words have now been illuminated.

“It’s a place called….. Forks, Washington.”

chapter five: Apparition 

under cut  

“What do you mean fae can be dangerous?” Joyce asked, her voice tense. Andy shrugged. 

“It’s folklore from the old times. Fairy circles and iron. Stuff like that. Giving a fae your name or any part of you gives them full control. I’m guessing that the tooth fairy has something like that, but with teeth controlling memory.” 

Joyce looked at Jamie, frowning. He seemed fine, not worried, and only couldn’t remember his father. The fairy hadn’t touched anything else. 

She was getting iron and horseshoes the second they got back home. 

A part of her was relieved that he couldn’t remember. His father was a bad, bad man. She hated the idea of the abuse happening right under her nose. She nearly had killed that man when she found out. It took everything in her to only divorce him and show the courts proof of the abuse. Luckily, they took her more seriously than he ever did. She hoped he enjoyed justice. 

Jamie seemed lighter, somehow. Happier. But the protective part of her, the one that wanted to throw iron at the fairy, hated it. Who was she to take memories from Jamie? Who was she to make that choice for him? How did she have that much power? What if she made Jamie forget more? 

Joyce shuffled her kids back into the car. 

“Bye!” Vivian hugged Joyce. “Be safe.” 

“After the past few days, I think I’ll just ring up the leprechauns if anything goes wrong.” Vivian laughed. 

“Right, and then he’ll send the sandman to bring you to fairyland.” 

Joyce smiled. 

“Children’s stories. Who knew that they were right?” 

She now had an eight-hour drive home. Nine counting the bathroom breaks. Jamie stared out the window, watching trees past the car. Sophie watched a movie on the DVD player, her headphones in. 

“Mom,” Jamie said. “Was Dad nice?” 

“No.” 

It killed her when Jamie told her. She wanted to cry for a thousand years and never stop. He was scared. The bruise on his back was exactly the size of his hand. She kissed the crown of Jamie’s head, promising that he would never hurt him again. When he got back from work, they fought. He was angry that Jamie ‘tattled’ and threw a vase at her. She kicked him out. 

The next morning she went to report it. When she got back, the door was open. He’d gotten in. Jamie was lying, dazed, on the floor. Sophie was crying. 

He’d given her son, her baby, a concussion. He hadn’t hurt Sophie, thank god, but he scared her. The divorce went quicker than his sentencing, but she wanted to be free of him. 

And now Jamie couldn’t remember. 

She stared at the road, her eyes tired from focusing. She had seven hours to go. 

“What was he like?” Jamie asked, cutting through the silence like a hot knife. Joyce didn’t know what to say. He was cruel. Nice at first. So nice and kind… She fell in love with him. And he hurt her children. So, she went with the answer that Jamie would understand. 

“He hurt you. He was a bad man.” She wanted to tell him more, but what was the point? Traumatize Jamie again? Put her frustrations and anger on her kid? 

“Okay.” Jamie looked out of the window. 

“Is that truck weird?” He asked. Joyce looked behind in the rearview mirror, seeing a semi-truck behind them. It was serving into the other line and then back. 

They were hours away from any town. It was just trees and mountains here. No service. Joyce needed to get out of the truck’s way. 

She looked forward, slamming the gas. The truck blared its horn. 

She turned sharply around the next turn, wincing as her car struggled. The semi-truck slammed into the side of the mountain. The driver stumbled out of the wreck, despite the wreckage being severe. 

She looked back, her mouth agape. 

“Mom!” Jamie screamed. She looked forward. 

There was a man on the road. 

Joyce screamed, slamming on the brakes. Her stomach lurched. Sophie startled, scared and crying. 

The car stopped only an inch away from the man. 

Joyce breathed, looking up into the man’s eyes. They were golden. He was short, with an unnatural glow to him. 

He smiled warmly. 

“What?” She muttered. 

“Sandman,” Jamie said. Sophie stopped crying. 

The Sandman waved, smiling. 

She shouldn’t have joked about it. This ghost, this creature, was in front of her car, smiling so warmly you’d think he intimately knew each of them. 

Maybe he did. 

“Hello,” a voice said, echoing in her mind. “I’ve heard about your family.” 

Joyce debated running over the Sandman. 

“You dream of peace,” the Sandman said. “Soft hands taking yours. There is no need for anger there. No need to protect.” 

The Sandman glanced over to Jamie and Sophie. Joyce looked over to her kids, seeing their little faces light up. 

“What are you?” She asked. “Why do we see you?” 

The Sandman’s golden eyes snapped to her. “Answers come to the patient, Joyce.” 

A shadow snaked below her car, and a man formed out of it. He stood, tall and thin, next to the Sandman. One was sun, one was shadow. Jamie gasped, and the Sandman smiled at him. Their hands interlinked. 

“You can find your answers through stories. Beware of the nature.” 

Then the two men disappeared. 

The trucker knocked on Joyce’s window. She rolled it down, numbly looking over to him. 

“What was that?” He asked. “Those men?” Joyce shook her head. 

“I’m not sure.”’

Stories. The answer was in stories. The trucker used his phone to call someone, and Joyce waved goodbye to him. He was going to say something, but Joyce drove away. 

Her kids were quiet. 

“What did he tell you?” She asked, glancing at her rearview mirror to see them. 

“Dreams,” Sophie said. “Sweet dreams. And a warning.” 

“Don’t trust her,” Jamie added. “Beware of the nature.”

chapter 11 of a tale of crowns. I'm already stressed.

[waning-and-waxing]

they saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make things difficult for X and they RAN with it

[ataleofcrowns]

hi ^^ hope youre having a good day! I was wondering whether you'll post more assertive vs passive comparison in the future? Because seeing it for R was interesting and helpful as someone who mostly go assertive but is now interested in passive lol!

I'm assuming you're talking about this Patreon preview?

So far, R has had the most differences with assertive and passive in their scenes since their romance is moving the fastest. I can post a comparison for X as well for now, and I'll definitely post some snippets for the other LIs as well once they get more differences in theirs.

Spoilers for X's CH11 route and (high) romance under the cut!

For X, the Crown can choose whether to initiate the kiss or let X initiate the kiss regardless of their traits, and either option has a slight variation depending on the Crown's passive/assertive and reserved/flirtatious stats.

Here's a comparison, it might read a little awkward because of the Twine variables though haha.

If you choose for your Crown to kiss X:

PASSIVE You’ve rarely initiated something like this, certainly not so boldly. Your eagerness overpowers all else in the thrill that swoops low through your stomach, blinding you from everything else but $xthem. The kiss is a little rough at first, your lips meeting almost too hard, noses pressed forcefully against each other. Your whole body is so tense you nearly shake. $xname notices it. $cxthey guides you, gently grabbing your chin—the briefest pause in the kiss so you can breathe, readjust—tilting your head into a better, more comfortable angle. This time, your lips slot together like they’re meant to be there, and you feel it all the way down into your toes. ASSERTIVE While your mind goes blank, your body remembers this familiar dance. You restrain your eagerness despite the thrill that swoops low through your stomach, letting it come naturally. The kiss is a little rough at first—you lean in with your hands on $xtheir waist, nearly bending $xthem back. The little gasp that escapes $xtheir lips as $xthey clutches you more tightly tells you $xthey doesn’t mind it, but you want to savor this, so you pull back, slow down. You readjust, letting $xname come to you as you tilt your head in a more comfortable angle, having only a moment to inhale a short breath before $xtheir mouth returns to yours. This time, the kiss is so tender and sweet that you feel it all the way down into your toes.

If you choose to let X kiss your Crown:

PASSIVE You let $xname come to you, lead you through it as you try to keep up. $cxthey seems mindful of how pliant you are, kissing you softly as if to coax something out of you. Not wanting to disappoint you lean in, and your eagerness grows into need. The kiss turns a little rough, your lips meeting almost too hard, noses pressed forcefully against each other. Your whole body is so tense you nearly shake. $xname notices it. $cxthey guides you, gently grabbing your chin—the briefest pause in the kiss so you can breathe, readjust—tilting your head into a better, more comfortable angle. This time, your lips slot together like they’re meant to be there, and you feel it all the way down into your toes. ASSERTIVE While your mind goes blank, your body remembers this familiar dance. You restrain your eagerness despite the thrill that swoops low through your stomach, letting $xname take the lead. The kiss is almost rough at first. $xname must sense that you’re trying to hold back so $xthey leans in even closer, the edge of $xtheir teeth on your lower lip drawing a soft gasp out of you, enjoying the bite far more than you should. Your hands on $xname’s waist squeeze in warning not to play with fire, your self-control rapidly fraying, and you can almost feel $xname's smug smirk against your mouth as $xthey pulls back a little. $cxthey allows you to come to $xthem as $xthey tilts $xtheir head in a more comfortable angle, having only a moment to inhale a short breath before your lips return to $xtheirs. This time, the kiss is so tender and sweet that you feel it all the way down into your toes.

Reserved vs Flirtatious for both options:

RESERVED $xname kisses more gently than you expected, but perhaps that’s for your benefit. $cxthey must be able to feel how much your heart is pounding, how your fingers tremble as they dig into $xtheir tunic. Your hands are on $xtheir waist, and you’re almost certain you’re squeezing $xthem too hard, but $xthey doesn’t complain. FLIRTATIOUS $xname follows your lead more obediently than you expected, completely pliant in your arms as $xthey seems to melt against you. You think you must be holding $xtheir waist too tightly, but $xthey doesn’t complain.

A Court of Fallen Heroes ( Azriel FanFiction )

𓆩✴𓆪 Summary 𓆩✴𓆪

It was a well known fact: the veil between the worlds grew thinner and thinner, so the possibility of a crashing was already a certainty. The rumours started a long time ago, but no one did anything to stop it. Luckily, time has passed, we went through wars and race eradications, but Faerie Realms and Mortal Lands stayed almost the same, some richer and some poorer.

Nobody was talking about the fallen, untill now, when the fates started working their old, wicked magic and gave us an early Summer Soltice gift: an unprepared girl who was sent tumbling from the sky.

Tumultuous and dangerous,

Bitter and heartbreaking.

This is the story of the Evening star.

About the young woman who holds the Sun as her weapon,

And the Moon as an ornament.

About the Cursed Crown, who chooses its own master

And about the man in the shadows, irreversibly bound to her, by the tongue of death.

And, after all, about us, the nothingness who catches a goal.

I am the Bloody Blade, former leader of the first legion, last of my kind, banished and tormented by dark memories and here is the beginning of our story.

Hello, everyone! I am new to the writing experince and also English is not my first language. Hopefully, this won't interfere with my work too much. I am sorry if there are mistakes, I'll try to correct them. I didn't give up on this work, but writing one chapter is taking quite some time considering the fact that I always have to check my grammar and if the phrases make sense or if they're too long. Sometimes, when inspiration doesn't come, I write them in my own language and then translate and it takes a while too.

Also, I have exams untill mid July. Med school it's time consuming as hell. 🥲

You can also find me on Ao3 and Wattpad, I always keep my chapters updated and corrected there because it's easier to read them.

Hope you like my work! Have a great day, babes!

20 Questions for Writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Six! A seventh is definitely in the works. Will not promise more

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

29,982

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Emily series, The Blue Castle, Tale of the Nine-Tailed

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Barney Snaith POV is the runaway favorite with 63

Feral Fox Girl with Angst coming in at 48

Hurt/comfort in a hotel at 25

My half-finished historical AU (RIP) at 23

Aaaaaand my other two LMM fics are tied at 15

5. Do you respond to comments?

Always, though unless the comment has feedback or is hugely gushing, it's typically a pretty standard grandma "thank you, that's sweet, hope you enjoyed"

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably the Dean fic? Feral Fox Girl is definitely the angstiest story, but at least it has a mostly happy ending

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Barney Snaith POV simply because TBC is a happy book

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not unless there's a stealth discord of secret haters I don't know about

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not in this incarnation of my fandom self, though a little PG-13 sexuality isn't unexpected

10. Do you write crossovers?

No, but that's not to say that I might not someday

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Hopefully not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

No, but that's another thing that I would be open to doing someday

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Don't know if I have one? At least not one that I will write a fic for

15. What's a WIP that you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

God, at this point I'm so dubious that I'll ever finish my chaptered TOTNT1938 fic. I'm sad about it because that fandom gave me so much joy to write again last year, but I just ,,, do not have the same voracious interest in the show to spend time on writing it. Somehow the TBC rarepair fic gives me more delight; I am determined to get to some kind of ending for that story someday!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Pretty prose, interweaving exposition and action

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I tend to go on and on. Too much worldbuilding when the story doesn't need it

18. Thoughts on writing in another language in a fic?

I'm sadly not fluent enough in any other language to ever do this

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Ignoring the fanfic-adjacent stories I wrote in my early teens that were heavily based on The Hero and the Crown, the first "real" fanfic was kpop rpf

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Probably my Dean one, what can I say. A Dean/Emily fanfic ("euchronologie") was one of the best things I ever read and opened my eyes to fanfic in general, plus I needed to write a story for them that was the way I saw them, if that makes any sense
