AO3 Wrapped (Writer's Edition)

6. Favorite title you used

Living in a Nighmare

I suppose, if I had to choose, my RDR2 Undead Nighmare au fic.  Mostly because I really enjoyed writing it, and because I wanted to capture the simplicity of its name with the au like "Undead Nightmare" did.

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?

This year it has been "Established Relationship."

[lunasdestiny]

With Anaya being the eldest in the Sunset Trio, do you think there were any instances throughout their childhood where he displayed ‘big brother instincts’? (i.e. being protective of Soona and Noa)

I thought Soona was the oldest since she took the egg first. never specified which of the two was the eldest but whatevs

He definitely is protective of them both. Anaya didn't think twice before attacking the marauder who hurt Noa during the raid.

I know Lydia Peckham stated Soona is also protective of Anaya and sees him as a little brother. Which can also be seen in the movie (pulling him away from the vault door when Proximus came running in because we can tell Anaya went though some shit with that asshole)

I did have this HC that as Eagle Clan was brought to the kingdom Soona along with the other women had to be separated for a bit, of course seeing Soona getting taken away caused Anaya to once again attack one of the guards (perhaps fucking them up). Of course Sylva or Lightning probably stopped him but Anaya was still defiant. So they bring him to Proximus to ask what to do. Because of Anaya's resistance Proximus at first thinks with a bit of breaking they COULD make him into a soldier. Just gotta set him straight and have him pledge loyalty. But of course Anaya would rather pledge loyalty to a boar's ass than become a soldier to hurt the people he cares about. So Proximus figures if he won't fight then he can be useful in OTHER WAYS. And thus beat him into submission and made him a servant instead.

Anyway yeah he may be afraid but isn't afraid to be there for his friends.

18 for Jake and Kauri

9 for Anaya and Misae

4 for Jameson and Allyn

It was so hard choosing just a few of your awesome characters but I'm going with these six!!

Do they view their relationship as temporary or permanent?

That depends on when in the relationship and which one you ask. Jake always saw it as permanent. Once Kauri was willing and able to be with him, he never hesitated to believe that, because Kauri was always the Love of His Life, someone he had been pining after and in love with for years before they were ever able to really be together.

Kauri, on the other hand, wasn't as certain. He was sure it was temporary at first, because he was sure Jake would realize all the ways Owen had damaged him and not want him any longer. Kauri has never been wanted for KAURI, he was always meant to try and be someone else, a stand-in with Vince's face but with a sweeter obedience and neediness. So it took him a while to believe, even after they got together, that Jake could keep loving him for long after he moved in.

Now, he would believe it's permanent, but less strongly than Jake does. some part of him is still waiting for - and worried about - when Jake realizes Kauri isn't good enough for him.

What is one quality they have in common?

Misae and Anaya both have a kind of whimsicality and wonder in the world at heart. Anaya is a sweet, sardonic, and bright-eyed woman who can find beauty in just about anything, largely because she is determined to do so. Misae is a sweet kid who finds wonder in no small part because he just hasn't seen most things before.

Both of them are deeply kind in their natures, and compassionate. And both of them think Eden is the best man on earth. For very, very different reasons.

How would they describe each other if asked? Physically? In personality?

Allyn would tell you that Jameson is stubborn and strong, two things they deeply envy. They could never stand up against the misfortunes he has faced, they would have collapsed or cracked apart. They adore his wry, sarcastic dark humor and how wonderfully he takes commands in bed, letting them learn all about how good it feels to be the one giving the orders and enjoying just about anything they do. They find him wildly handsome, and love his dark hair that seems to be growing in softer now that it's all coming back.

Jameson would tell you that Allyn is incredible, and struggle to describe them to you because his awe doesn't really have words. When he says they are beautiful, he doesn't only mean on the outside, but he isn't sure how to elaborate. They're beautiful because they are soft, despite everything that has happened to them. He could never have survived with softness - he would have been drowned or lost hope. He loves that they are gentle and quiet and sweet but then turn wicked and pull his hair until it hurts. That they are a little indecisive everywhere but the bedroom, where they turn into a new person, someone he thinks is far closer to who they once were.

And their long, lanky body is a dream, so much skin for him to kiss, so many freckles to map with his fingers.

Idk if you take suggestions for your playlists, but what about “I Stand Alone” and “Looking Through Your Eyes” from the movie Quest for Camelot for your Mae and Noe playlist? Just fits their vibe a little I think.

Actually, I did think about putting "I Stand Alone" and "Looking Through Your Eyes" from Quest for Camelot on Mae and Noa's playlists. I like those songs, unfortunately, Spotify doesn't have the original album. And the versions I found on the app are covers from different singers. I mean no disrespect to the singers of the cover versions, however, the song covers just don't click for me personally.

On the other hand though, I am up for suggestions for my playlists. I have individual playlists for Anaya, Soona and Raka, however I am having a hard time finding decent songs for them.

[anaya-of-wolves]

Happy birthday!!

Thank you so much!!!

[lunasdestiny]

Any sunset trio headcanons you’d like to share?

If one of them is visibly sad, the others dogpile them :3

[taintedsoul-if]

So the OH and their mother got basically treated like dirt because the people who did it were all powerful and then slag basically kill the OH mother while she try to be a good person. The OH gets in a coma then Mc comes and changes everything right.

I’m starting to think the one who wrote this story was just like I’m going to write two characters that are just a step for everyone else.

And the two protagonists are slags. How is this even ok like how messed up is this women. I want answers to why. Because if OH mom was around maybe she could have prevented this.

Sorry I just don’t like how a country is just so horrible and yeah I’m doing the vengeful path. Not happily but to bring some justice. See you in the next update.

Yassssss.... Anon you summed up the body's backstory in just a few words... 👀👀👀 you are absolutely correct. Though.....

Lady Anaya story, is one that is still under construction. The other day I was running lady Anaya's backstory by my sister and I randomly asked her, why do you think lady Anaya didn't save herself from this tragedy? My sister turned to me and said, depression. (I won't go into full details) but she said. "You said she was forced to marry a man she did not love, because her family only saw her as a mere woman, who wouldn't be able to carry on the family line right? And not to mention you said her beloved body turned up outside her home on the day of the emperor's coronation, right? Depression.... Lady Anaya felt as if all hope was lost. She practically lost everything, and deep down I think even though you didn't mention this to me, I think lady Anaya loved and resent her child. Death brought her the relief she had been seeking all these years and that is why even though she knew Trysten was going to cause her impending doom, she did not stop it. Then my sister turned to me and said again. What is with you and these dysfunctional-ity in your characters family?!

She broke the moment I tell ya!

But seriously, the creator of this novel only wanted love. Nobody is perfect in this world, most of us have met that one man/woman/person that we wanted to spend our whole lives with and sometimes our love isn't reciprocated because sometimes that person is married or they're currently in a relationship, or they're just not sexually attracted to others. And that was why the author did this, because she met mister right! And she thought he must belong to her, so she quit her day job and went home, locked herself in a room and did a ritual. A book materialized out of thin air and a ominous voice said to her. "Whatever you write in this book, will be granted within the next 24 hours." (Damn I wished I could wrote a million word novel in less than one day. This girl is living my dream! 💀💀) and that is what the author did. Twenty four hours later when the author woke up she was teleported into her book world, standing before millions of people who yelled [REDACTED]

They're all behind times in Nasmar. Like for example a nobleman would rather marry a virgin than a woman/man who toss their body left right and center. Double standard.... 😏 look at what Trysten/Trista is doing behind closed door. Also my dear Anon there are a few stepping stones that hasn't been introduced as yet. So lady Anaya and the OH aren't the only ones who has been taken advantage of. 😔. The way the Montholon family do things is just despicable. Because a person is stronger than your family, you want to deal with the problem before it ripens. 💀. That's just not right.

It's okay anon. No need to apologise this is the kind of energy I've been aiming for from the very beginning. I love fluff. That is when other authors writes fluff I'm head over heels inlove... 😳. But me when I write.... I want my readers to curse! Drown my characters in their spit. (Not physically) I want my characters to burn to experience torture so there's no need to apologize, 😏 you sending this ask had me cackling like a mad woman! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Have a splendid day. I'll see you on the next update, please stay safe.

ilia should get bitten by kanaya too

Pretty sure Kanaya is a minor. Like 13 in human years. At least where I'm at in the story. Sooo... no.

At least not in the same way that Dagon bites Ilia. If Kanaya needs to eat blood (which I am just remembering she is a vampire or rainbow drinker, whatever they are called by trolls) then Ilia would let her drink from his wrist or just slit something open and let his blood fill up a glass for her. (or you know, he'd just amputate a limb and give it to Kanaya and then regrow it back with cursed energy when she was done eating/drinking).

Chapter 5

Rating: Teen and Up

Relationships: Noa x Mae (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)

Content warnings: None

Comments: English is not my first language. I recommend you to watch the deleted scene where Noa and Mae talk about dreams and the telescope, it's not too important but it gives a tiny little bit of context for a short paragraph in the story. Enjoy!

Anaya woke up in the morning with more energy than usual and went to the main tower to look for his best friend, hoping they could do some climbing later, maybe he could convince Noa to go beyond the valley and explore a little more the ancient Echoes civilizations. However, when he arrived at Noa´s room, he found nothing but his empty litter and Dar, who was just waking up.

“Dar!” Anaya said, feeling a little invasive “Good morning. Noa?”

The female ape yawned deeply and scratch her belly.

“Dar?”

“Oh, Anaya, I don´t know” she said uninterested, yet calm; getting up to start her day.

“You… not worried?”

“Why would I? Noa… old enough. Not a baby. Probably… out”

Anaya left the tower, feeling a little worried. Ever since the kidnapping, he started to feel uneasy, like he should be alert and ready to fight. When he couldn’t find his friends, he felt this tight in his stomach.

“It´s called anxiety” Noa explain when they were settling their home again. Anaya was brave enough to express his feelings to his leader, hoping he could give him a peace of mind “Raka… told me so”

Soon enough, that word had spread like a quick virus among the apes. Everyone was using it. Noa wondered if they were truly anxious from what happened, or if they were just interested in using a new word.

Walking through the village, Anaya found his best friend sleeping next to the horses, with a blanket over his head, covering him from the sun.

“Noa! What are you… doing?”

The leader woke up and rapidly sat. He looked around him and spotted Anaya looking down on him like he was crazy. Maybe he was.

“What?”

“Why are you here?”

“Oh, not reason” Noa answered, feeling shy and oddly embarrassed. His friend gave him a look “Okey, I was out… all night. When I came back… to tired to go up. Sleep here”

Anaya looked confused.

“Where?”

“Uh… to the lighting dancers’ field”

“What?!” Anaya screamed with excitement, Noa hushed him with his hand and took him to a more private place, just a few meters away from the village.

“Who is… the lucky one?” the eldest asked.

“What?”

“You know”

“I do not”

“Noa. Romantic place. Take girlfriend” Anaya was too excited at this point, giggling and jumping around his friend, happy to be the first to know the details of how the date had gone.

“No, Anaya, it wasn´t… like that” Noa sighed mildly annoyed. Kind of disappointed.

It had been just a sweet moment between Mae and him, it wasn´t a mating ritual, nor a proposal. It was just a night out with a girl he cared about and wanted to show her something nice and pretty.

He didn’t want anybody to think he was trying to marry Mae (´cause he was not). That would be weird. An ape and an animal, getting together? Now way. That was just unnatural, wasn´t it? It would be like marrying a horse. “Except it would not be like that, and you know it” Noa thought. “She has the same features as you. Apes and human… we are not that different” Except they kind of were “But she is smart. She is not like those animals”

“It was just a nice walk”

Anaya snorted at his answer, like it was an obvious lie.

“With… who?”

Noa wondered if he could trust his friend, in a normal situation he would, but Anaya had imagined a whole scenario about a mate and a proposal, he didn’t want him to get his ideas twisted.

“Mae”

The ape stood in silence. The leader couldn’t figure out his expression. It was a mix between shock and something else, maybe fear?

“But I told you… it wasn’t like that” Noa tried to explain, his voice sounded nervous, and he knew that it seemed like he was lying “Really. The Echo never saw the dancers before”

The silence was getting unbearable, he needed to get out of there soon. Acting annoyed and angry, Noa pushed lightly Anaya to the side and started to walk towards the village.

“Wait” Anaya said, “Did she… like the lights?”

Noa turn around and looked at his friend, a kind smile was growing in his face. Noa tried to give him the same gesture, but the anxiety was just too strong.

“Yes, she liked the lights”

“Enjoyed the night? Both”

“Yes, it was nice”

Anaya walked towards his best friend, with open arms and a sympathetic smile, ready to hug the other ape.

“Then… that is all… that matters”

---------

It was a chilly night, not cold, but Mae felt the need to get a blanket to covered herself from the wind. She was getting goosebumps and a slightly runny nose.

She was with a group of apes, sitting in a circle and just telling stories and legends, some were made up and some were real things that happened in the village a while ago. The human was sitting next to Soona and Case, listening to a semi old male ape talking about the time he saw a creature bigger than a horse, with big paws and very fat. He said it attacked his wife, but fortunately they made it to the village and loose the animal on the way. The other apes were making fun of his story, saying he was probably making all up.

Mae supposed the beast he was talking about was a bear, but she stayed silent. She didn’t know exactly why she felt so scared revealing more stuff about the world to the apes. Except she did know.

She was terrified of them sometimes. She could see how they were improving their speech, at least Noa. Mae tried to fake an ape way of speaking, but it was very difficult to pretend and not let difficult words come out of her mouth. It was easier to stay silent. And the reason? She felt like she was teaching them human ways. And that felt like a nightmare came true. Mae saw the evolution among the apes. Spreading.

She learned to be around them, to joke and live a simple life surrounded by the apes. But she felt like crossing a line when it came to “teach” them.

They learned fast. Noa was the fastest. She remembered their conversation at the fire camp when they were after Proximus, how the ape asked about what they saw inside the telescope. She lied and said she didn’t know. Because she was too scared to talk about things only humans on earth knew about.

That same night, she observed Noa, fixing the electric weapon. She was terrified.

“Cold?” said a male voice behind her. It was Noa, holding a blanket in his hands.

“Yeah, a little” Mae answered. The ape sat beside her, squishing between her and Case.

The female ape rolled her eyes and move next to Soona so Noa wouldn’t suffocate her.

Instead of giving Mae the blanket, the male wrapped it around her shoulders. The human girl stood still.

“What are they talking about?” the leader asked in a quiet voice, so he doesn’t interrupt the story telling.

“About everything” Mae said “That old ape saw a beast one time. Nobody believes him”

“Oh, the big paws monster?” Noa snorted.

“Have you heard his story?”

“Yes, he tells it all the time” Noa took a peach from his little bag and started to eat it. Mae noticed how he only eats with his mouth close now. Something he must have learn from the human girl.

“Do you not believe him?” Mae inquired with a rise eyebrow.

“Nobody does”

“Maybe we could—” the girl was interrupted by a different ape, pointing direct at her.

“Okey everyone! Maybe it´s… time… for the Echo… to tell a… story”

Some apes were exciting to hear what the human had to say, while others stayed silent, cautious.

“Oh, I… I don´t really have a story”

“Everyone has a story” Noa said with a grin, he was enjoying watching Mae get embarrassed.

“Can it be made up?”

“Of course”

“Well, uh… there is this story” Mae started “It was very popular in my home. Every kid knew about it. It´s about a princess, well, she wasn´t really one—”

“What is a… princess?” an ape asked from the opposite side of the circle.

“Uh… they used to rule kingdoms—”

Everyone started to murmur, scared, fresh memories of Proximus and the kidnapping.

“But they were nice kingdoms, they were gentle and kind, and showed mercy” That was a lie “Anyway, she was not really a princess, she was just a girl who worked really hard to get what she wanted. On the other hand, there was this boy, who was actually a prince. So, this prince gets turned into a frog by an evil man, and only a true love kiss could turn him back into a human. Then, this girl, found the frog and became very fond of him, they kissed, and the prince turned back into a human, they were happy after that”

There was a moment of complete silence, Mae held her beath, not knowing what to do or expect. Then, a whole lot of questions were asked, all at the same time, the girl tried to answer all of them, without revealing too much or making them confused. That wasn’t the whole story, she skipped a lot of details, but she knew the apes wouldn’t understand the concept of magic or human customs.

“How were… the princess?”

“They were beautiful girls with castles”

“The frog… talked? Like you?”

“Yes, he did. That is how they got to know each other”

After a whole bunch of questions, Noa noticed Mae getting overwhelmed, so he called it a night and send everyone to sleep.

He accompanied the Echo to her room, stopping at the door.

“Goodnight Mae. That was a good story” he said with a smile.

“Thank you”

“Sleep, princess”
