#ad astra per aspera au

Here's the Ad Astra Per Aspera AU!

When I saw Ford and Mabel in the website, this AU came to my mind and I wanted to draw it!

What it's about: After Ford and Mabel return from Bill's statue, they find themselves in a different dimension where they can do magic. And the reason is their hats that are magical.

Ford and Mabel kind of symbolize sun and moon, their magic is based on them.

This AU was mostly for you @artsymeeshee because of your love for them and your drawings this AU came to my mind, thank you for giving so much love to me! ❤️

re: ask game

⭐️ can you share some director’s commentary on ad astra per aspera? i adore that entire interaction with coriolanus and clemmie, and ofc her dynamic with reaper!! it would be great to know more :D

Of course! I'd love to, I can do it for both :)

Coriolanus & Clemmie

Is it overkill for Coriolanus to have poisoned her and sabotaged her car? Yes. But is he also prepared for any changes to his plan - ie. she decides she doesn't want tea today? Yes.

The conversation before she returns to the past is one of my favourite parts. Especially Coriolanus' attitude. Clemmie describes it affectionate. Even if he's admitting to poisoning her, to still loving her. Or how it was mercy to choose a fast-acting poison for her.

I like to imagine that during that entire conversation, he doesn't lie. He cares for her, even loves her, yes. But not more than he loves power. If he has to pick one, she will ALWAYS be second choice.

I've previously rambled about the origins of “Va, je ne te hais point” or "Go, I hate you not," being a line that Coriolanus takes from a play. One thing I wanted to add about this line is that it is a litote.

So because it's using the negative to affirm something positive, this means, "I hate you not" is really "I love you".

Reaper & Clemmie

Her original motive is selfish. Yes, she regrets how things had gone with Reaper. But wanting him to live isn't completely altruistic. If he wins this time around then it means Lucy Gray dies. The same girl that Coriolanus chose over her (it was platonic then, but it still stings. That he'd pick LG, and by extension, power + fame, over his best friend.)

One thing I wish I got to write was something for the gap between her and Reaper sharing a clementine and the peacekeepers coming for her.

In that blank, I imagine Clemmie has more time to collect her thoughts about the tributes + the games since she really hasn't had much time to process everything since she's returned to the past.

For her, it's really been: killed via car sabotage -> 18 again + it's the day after the Reaping.

Age brings in a new perspective too. Mentally, she's older than them all. And I don't think she really realized how young a lot of the tributes were. Her first instance might have been to Wovey where she impulsively gives her the one of the waters. Like this is a child.

And just maybe she lets her guard down a bit more around him. They never had a relationship of any sort last time. This time, they may or may not be mentally comparing over how the other is better than Coriolanus. Even if they see each other as 'strange'.

By the time she is led away, there's still that calculative streak in her - this is to spite Coriolanus even if he doesn't know it. Plus getting Lucy Gray to think she's better than him is an even better revenge.

Ad Astra Per Aspera

By: TalktomeinClexa

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Violence, Blood and Injury

Status: Complete (32/32)

Summary: Sent into unofficial exile by Emperor Thelonius, Centurion Clarke Griffus Flavius crossed the Roman Empire all the way to Hadrian's Wall to deliver orders to the garrison. Accompanied by her most loyal friends, she decided to go beyond the call of duty and traveled behind the wall to warn the Romans there of the upcoming dangers. How could she have known that her destiny was waiting for her there, in the middle of a strange land not half as beautiful as the Pict serving as their guide?

***

Chapter 1

The sound of a branch breaking under the hooves of her gelding shook Clarke out of her lethargy. Per reflex, the young centurion blinked a handful of times. She readjusted her body on the too-comfortable saddle and padded the inner pocket of the large coat that covered her iron cuirass. In it, the letter written by her mother weighed her down like a bar of lead and burned a hole inside her chest. Yet, with a streak of masochism she failed to justify, she couldn’t bear to throw it into the fire that warmed her and her men night after night and kept the wolves and other wild beasts at bay. She lifted her arms high above her head until her spine popped and glanced at her companions. The few friends foolish enough to volunteer to accompany her on an errand across the Roman Empire.

Octavia rode near her, quiet and surly as ever. Her hood protected her long dark brown hair from the rain that had not stopped in days. She hadn’t smiled since they left Italy and entered Gallia several weeks before.

Series Masterlist

Synopsis: Nothing could be worse than getting tricked onto a slave trader’s ship right? Wrong. You are a young talented navigator and unsurprisingly, while trying to find another job you end up on a ‘merchant’ ship, from where you are abducted by pirates, well all hope seems lost now. The pirates happen to be kind enough to let you live as long as you act as their navigator, after their last one met an unfortunate fate. Oh, and these pirates seem to have some weird abilities. It all seems a little too convenient, you are given food, clothes, shelter and are treated very nicely. As the journey progresses you learn more about them and their tragic pasts, but your suspicions grow too. Is this real or is there something deeper at play here.

I've been thinking about names for the Gravity Falls crossover AU

(Yes they have to be latin phrases, shush)

"Ex Altiora" = "From the heights", referencing Toothless' arrival in Gravity Falls

"Ad Astra" = "To the stars", referencing both the ad astra per aspera title in Journal 3, and also the Pines family's eventual goal of getting Toothless to fly again so he can return home

per aspera ad astra: through hardships to the stars

yeah i'm having feelings about @cupcakeslushie feral!leo au again

Hi, love the Uzi and N parent fic, gives me entertainment during school hours, say, do you know of any other good fics to read? I get bored easily :3

Have some general suggestions and some about similar fics to mine. All of these feature Nuzi to various degrees:

Servant and Subject by Skak - Pseudo-swap AU (Worker N, Solver Uzi). Uzi is captured from Copper-9 and placed into Tessa's observation at a lab. Tessa's personal assistant N meets and forms a bond with Uzi and the two then lock sights on freedom. It's a very fun take on a swap and I highly recommend. Ongoing.

by chance by spero11 - Human AU. Uzi accidentally meets N, a popular streamer, while playing an MMO. Romance ensues. It's a fun "will they, won't they" fic, but maybe I'm just not super into that because by the time the holiday arc rolled around I found myself exhausted by this. I've since dropped it because my interest in it faded after "will they, won't they" got answered, but it's worth a look. Ongoing.

Guardian Angel by Rayj4ck - Oneshot written post-episode one. I won't spoil what this one is exactly about, but it's about Uzi and her titular angel. Would also rec taking a look at Rayj4ck's other fics.

tiny angels by lightxsheep71 -Human AU. Uzi gets pregnant and chaos and fluff ensues. Highly rec if you like my parent fic. Ongoing.

Sun and the Moon by VexInheritance - Written post-episode one. Character study of Uzi and N. Has the honor of being the first MD fic I ever read and a damn good one at that. Complete.

Secrets kept, locked like lips by TheRantingSage - Based off the episode 7 theory that Uzi and N were secretly dating since camp. I didn't finish this one, but I think it's worth a look. Complete.

Baby Protocol by BlueSkyHeadLeft010 - Canon-divergent. N is pregnant, and that's a problem. Rec if you're a fan of the weird, unconventional, horrorpreg in my fic (though this fic admittedly doesn't lean too hard into it). Ongoing.

Murder Drones: The Play by daarkxwolf17 - Human AU. Uzi is roped into a role in the school play, meeting friends and potentially something more. Complete.

Ad Astra Per Aspera (series) by LadyDaybreaker - I have read bits and pieces of this, but it's a friend's work and I think it's worth a look. Goes from pre-canon to post-canon. Canon-divergent. Ongoing.
