[oldtreeinanalley]

okay wait let me rant abt psychics (oc/worldbuilding) for a moment

being a psychic is really rare and depending on where you're from you will either be loved or killed the moment found out

most common species to present psychic abilities are "wolves"* though as their population declined during the 1803 tensions with the "snakes"** psychics have become almost impossible to encounter

psychics have the power to read other people's thoughts, or at least catch the drift of what's going on inside their head. they can also fully connect with a person, meaning that they read through all their memories and thoughts, but that is a task only masters can do

eyes and the head are where the psychic powers manifest most, though some also feel it strongly in their fingers and hands (and their equivalents). some birds (same deal as the rest of the species) say that they expirince their powers in their wings

using psychic powers is incredibly demanding from the body, often causing migraines, eye problems, weaker bones and a worse immune system. most psychics that use their powers a lot go blind with their eyes deteriorating over time.

if a person doesnt use any magic repelling remedies they will start looking like the guy on the right (corrupted). this is also the reason for the low life expectancy among psychics; let's take "wolves" as an example with their average life expectancy being 120, psychics only live up to 90

a common repellent is a gemstone (the ability to repel magic depends on the gemstone), usually a sapphire or lapis is used

TLDR: being a psychic sucks and is also rare

footnotes (+ extra lore):

* wolves are not actually wolves (same with snakes). they are actually a human subspecies that kinda has wolf traits and derived from wolves, same with the snakes.

theyre called wolves because we got all our intel abt that planet from one human guy who got there on accident and the closest word he got to describe them was wolf

theyre very humanoid tho

** OH BOY so the snakes and the wolves got in a fight because of territory, and they fucking hate eachother now. and in 1803 they started war with the snakes pushing out all the wolves from Lapis (the only major wolf city in the north) and basically wiped out the entire city. and then built their city on top of it

Book Recs if you love Jaime and Brienne

This is a collection of all the book recs I could find from @briennesjaime​ tumblr books rec, the reddit, and my own. Please reblog your own if you have some. 

1. The Queen of Attolia which is book#2 of the The Queen’s Thief series

This is definitely more for the enemies to lovers trope. The thief even loses a hand like Jaime but under much different circumstances.  The Queen is like the colder version of Brienne.

Revenge When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes’s Gift, the Queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eugenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the Queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered…she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge. …but Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the Queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times. …at what price? When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph, and his greatest loss, comes in capturing something that the Queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago… 

2. The Lumatere Chronicles 

One of my favorite series of all time. It’s character driven and it’s has many surprises. Starts off with Finnikin has lost hope like Jaime but gains it slowly over time. Evanjalin her honor and her pursuit of her quest reminds me very much of  Brienne. 

Finnikin of the Rock and his guardian, Sir Topher, have not been home to their beloved Lumatere for ten years. Not since the dark days when the royal family was murdered and the kingdom put under a terrible curse. But then Finnikin is summoned to meet Evanjalin, a young woman with an incredible claim: the heir to the throne of Lumatere, Prince Balthazar, is alive. Evanjalin is determined to return home and she is the only one who can lead them to the heir. As they journey together, Finnikin is affected by her arrogance … and her hope. He begins to believe he will see his childhood friend, Prince Balthazar, again. And that their cursed people will be able to enter Lumatere and be reunited with those trapped inside. He even believes he will find his imprisoned father. But Evanjalin is not what she seems. And the truth will test not only Finnikin’s faith in her … but in himself.

3. Howl’s Moving Castle 

This one might be a stretch but hear me out. Howl is pretty much the embodiment of Jaime but probably more vain. While, Sophie really conveys Brienne self-esteem issues but still noble in her own right. Plus, their banter very reminiscent to Jaime and Brienne. 

Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl’s castle. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there’s far more to Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye.

@temporiibus recommends The Raven Cycle!!

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.” It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore. From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before. 

The Winners Trilogy

As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.  One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.  But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.  Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone recommended by @realduality

Errand requiring immediate attention. Come. The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things. When Brimstone called, she always came. In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole. Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.

The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. Hard SF, and the romance is definitely not a major plot, but one of the characters involved in the trope is legit my favorite fictional character of all time and that journey from enemy to friend to lover is a big part of it.

In his most ambitious project to date, award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson utilizes years of research & cutting-edge science in the 1st of a trilogy chronicling the colonization of Mars: For eons, sandstorms have swept the desolate landscape. For centuries, Mars has beckoned humans to conquer its hostile climate. Now, in 2026, a group of 100 colonists is about to fulfill that destiny. John Boone, Maya Toitavna, Frank Chalmers & Arkady Bogdanov lead a terraforming mission. For some, Mars will become a passion driving them to daring acts of courage & madness. For others it offers an opportunity to strip the planet of its riches. For the genetic alchemists, it presents a chance to create a biomedical miracle, a breakthrough that could change all we know about life & death. The colonists orbit giant satellite mirrors to reflect light to the surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth. Massive tunnels, kilometers deep, will be drilled into the mantle to create stupendous vents of hot gases. Against this backdrop of epic upheaval, rivalries, loves & friendships will form & fall to pieces--for there are those who will fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed. Brilliantly imagined, breathtaking in scope & ingenuity, Red Mars is an epic scientific saga, chronicling the next step in evolution, creating a world in its entirety. It shows a future, with both glory & tarnish, that awes with complexity & inspires with vision.

The Folk of the Air

Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences. As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

Feyre's survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so precious comes at a price ... Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre's presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.

 @swainlake recommends the darkest powers trilogy by kelley armstrong is really good

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again. All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost - and the ghost saw me. Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House... before its skeletons come back to haunt me

@imladriss recommends: We hunt the flame by hafsah faizal

People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the king. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways.  Both are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya—but neither wants to be. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the king on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds—and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine. Set in a richly detailed world inspired by ancient Arabia, We Hunt the Flame is a gripping debut of discovery, conquering fear, and taking identity into your own hands.

@moirindeclermont recommends  anything from Jacqueline Carey (she is a goddess and my favourite writer) but also Deborah Harkness (A discovery of witches) which is amazing, I’m obsessed with it. Nemesis by Isaac Asimov touches some themes similar to Brienne’s. Arn the knight

The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassing beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good... and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.  Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye. Sold into indentured servitude as a child, her bond is purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with very a special mission... and the first one to recognize who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Phèdre is trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Almost as talented a spy as she is courtesan, Phèdre stumbles upon a plot that threatens the very foundations of her homeland. Treachery sets her on her path; love and honor goad her further. And in the doing, it will take her to the edge of despair... and beyond. Hateful friend, loving enemy, beloved assassin; they can all wear the same glittering mask in this world, and Phèdre will get but one chance to save all that she holds dear.  Set in a world of cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and a truly Machiavellian villainess, this is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. Not since Dune has there been an epic on the scale of Kushiel's Dart-a massive tale about the violent death of an old age, and the birth of a new.

Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.

In a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of Acre falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar opens with a young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order's dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the blacktie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night. In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars. 

Irissa and Kendric Series

Irissa was the last of the sorcerous Torlocs, untutored in magic and abandoned upon this decaying world by her people. Kendric was one of the Six of Swords, gifted with a legendary weapon to guard the Realms from harm. But now he was an outcast, and his death was sought with reason by the other Five. Sorceress and swordsman, they were thrown together; each filled with ancient prejudices against the other. But only by combining her uncertain powers with his remaining skills could they survive. Survive they must, however. Rule was a world formed upon magic - but now magic was failing and there would soon be no place for it. And destiny in strange guise had chosen them to make one last stand against the dark forces that were waiting at the Gate of Valna, seeking to destroy their world

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Orphaned as a child, Jane has felt an outcast her whole young life. Her courage is tested once again when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, where she has been hired by the brooding, proud Edward Rochester to care for his ward Adèle. Jane finds herself drawn to his troubled yet kind spirit. She falls in love. Hard.

But there is a terrifying secret inside the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall. Is Rochester hiding from Jane? Will Jane be left heartbroken and exiled once again?

Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England

In the medieval and fantastic realm of Tortall, Keladry of Mindelan (known as Kel) is the first girl to take advantage of the decree that permits women to train for knighthood. But not everyone in Tortall believes a woman is up to the task, and Kel faces harsh discrimination. With unparalleled determination and a knack for leadership, she captures the hearts of her peers and proves that she is not a girl to underestimate!

Athena left her room, she made her choice, now she had to tell the man she didn’t choose, she had to break a heart. She was so lost in thought, with what she had to do, that she ran straight into Maxwell.

“Hey little blossom, Liam is making a huge announcement, we need to head to the main ballroom.” Maxwell told her steadying her as the force of hitting him nearly sent her flying onto her ass.

So it had to wait, of course, nothing in this situation could ever be easy could it? She followed Maxwell to the main ballroom and found a seat towards the back. She looked around and found Drake by the bar, and Percy was seated at a table towards the middle with a few other nobles, Liam hadn’t arrived yet. She wondered what could be so important that Liam had to gather everyone together like this. Wait, was that press up at the front? What was Liam planning? She was utterly confused as to what would cause Liam to call a press conference with all the court present in the middle of the Royal Engagement tour.

“Do you know what’s going on?” She asked leaning over to speak to Hana.

“No, nobody does. Just that Liam has a big formal announcement he needs to make in front of the court.” Hana replied, as she shook her head.

“There is press here too.” Athena said pointing to them in the front.

“Wow, must be really big then.” Hana responded looking towards where Athena was pointing where at least a dozen members of press say.

“Maybe they have to move up the wedding because Madeline is pregnant.” Penelope mentioned having overheard Athena’s question.

Athena’s stomach churned, that couldn’t be, right? He hadn’t been with Madeline too had he? She knew she was with Percy too, but the thought of Liam being intimate with Madeline while telling her she owned is heart made her heart shatter into a million pieces. It didn’t matter who she had chosen, if Liam had been seeing Madeline, the woman who made her life a living hell, too it meant every word he had said to her had been a lie. That’s what broke her heart the most, the thought that maybe everything Liam had told her had been a lie. Maybe her choice never mattered, maybe her decision had been made for her.

Athena watched as Liam entered with Madeline on his arm, she looked as smug as ever, and they walked to the podium that had been set up. Maybe Penelope was right, why else would Madeline look so smug? Athena felt the her breath catch, she couldn’t listen to the man she had once thought she’d spend forever with announce that he had to move up his wedding date. No matter who her heart belonged to now, hearing that everything with Liam had be a lie would destroy her once again. She had been destroyed enough, she didn’t want to go through it again, but she couldn’t leave, she was forced to listen, just hopefully this wouldn’t destroy all the memories she had with Liam.

Liam stood at the podium, Madeline to his left and back a few steps, back straight, head held high,  her hands clasped in front of her, a perfect smug smile on her face. Athena sat stiffly, back straight, head held high, if she had to listen to this should would at least give the illusion of strength. On the outside Athena gave the illusion of strength, while on the inside she felt fear of what’s about to be announced run through her body.

Liam cleared his throat and adjusted the mic on the podium, signaling the start of the press conference, the room went quiet. The room felt heavy, the impending announcement weighed heavy on Athena, would everything that had happened with Liam become worthless?

“Ladies and gentleman of the press and court, I’d like to thank you for gathering on such short notice.” Liam started, his voice strong and even, his kingly authoritative voice was being used, his back straight, his body posture giving nothing away. This was it, everything that had happened since the coronation, every sweet word he had uttered was about to become a lie. She took a deep breath, stealing her nerves, preparing herself for his next words.

"I made a monumental mistake in choosing Madeline the night of my Coronation. I should have backed Lady Athena. I know she wouldn't throw herself at Tariq, it clearly was a set up to keep me away from her and I played into their hand like a fool." Liam continued, hushed whispers started around the room. What? This press conference was about her? They were nowhere near finding Tariq, what was Liam doing? Her breath hitched in her throat, what was going on?

Madeline stepped closer to Liam leaning toward him, "Liam what the hell are you doing?" Madeline whispered to Liam through gritted teeth.

"What I should have done in the beginning.” Liam whispered back harshly. He had regretted choosing Madeline every minute of every day since he had uttered the words ‘I choose Madeline’ at the coronation, now he was going to make everything right. They would no longer need to find Tariq, he would clear up this mess himself. He was laying it all out on the line, only time would tell if it would save his relationship with Athena.

Drake took a gulp of his whiskey, Liam was doing it, he was taking a chance, putting it all on the line. Drake was about to lose him, how could Athena say no after a public backing? She couldn’t, no one could say no to a man saying he screwed up in front of the press. Drake didn’t want to listen to the man he loved profess his love to someone else in front of the press and court, but leaving now would only hurt Liam.

Percy sat shocked and dismayed, King Liam was finally putting Athena first, finally ignoring his own image. Percy had always been the one to be there for her on the royal engagement tour, the one to make her laugh, the one to wipe her tears, the one to just hold her, but would any of that matter if the king was ready to tarnish his perfect image for her. Was he about to watch the moment when he lost the the only woman he had ever, would ever love?

Whispered murmurs broke out across the room, but she couldn’t understand any of it, she remained facing forward, her hands clutched at her small bag, her knuckles went white. She held her breath waiting for the next words.

Liam squared his shoulders, Madeline tried and failed to remain expressionless, she was now remaining directly next to Liam. Liam cleared his throat loudly, alerting  everyone that he needed their full attention once again. The room once again became hushed.

"Lady Athena, instead of supporting you I shut you away, I only hope you can forgive me. I would like to formally announce in front of the court the end of my engagement with Countess Madeline. My heart belongs to one woman, and I only hope that I'm not too late to win her back." Liam proceeded.

Madeline let out a gasp, she reached for Liam only to be held back by a guard, they were ready for her reaction. The room was no longer silent, and the words where not quite whispered as the court tried to process what Liam had said.

Percy swallowed hard, King Liam had actually put her first, there would be no way he would be chosen now. The king had thrown away his image for her and got rid of the largest obstacle that stood in their way. The scandal no longer mattered, the king had just created a bigger one. He picked up his glass on Scotch, downed it in one gulp before standing up and walking out of the room. He couldn’t be here anymore, he couldn’t watch as he officially lost the woman he loved.

Drake nearly dropped his glass at Liam’s words. He had not expected him to completely destroy his image, to end his engagement to Madeline, to profess his love for Athena. This was it, things between him and Liam were over, how could they possibly continue? Athena would surely chose him after this public declaration. He threw back his whiskey and walked away. He needed another drink, but not here, not in the room where he was losing the man he loved.

Liam paused his statement for a moment as he watched Drake storm out of the ballroom. He had stupidly forgotten how all of this would affect Drake. He probably assumed this meant that they were done. That made Liam’s heart shatter, but he had to continue.

Liam concluded the press conference but Athena couldn’t process a word that had been said. She sat in shock, did that just happen? Her heart broke as she watched Percy walk out of the room. Did Liam really just dump Madeline in front of the entire court and press? Had he really just professed his undying love for her? She pulled out her phone, she needed to talk to him, the man she hadn't chose, now, let him know she already chose that Liam's words didn't matter, her choice had already been made, that she had been on her way to tell him when she learned of the press conference. She pulled up his name in her contacts.

I need to see you, meet me in my room. She typed.

I'll be there, came the eventual response.

It was time, she was breaking a heart so she could start her life with the man she loved.
