Louder Than Thunder by TDWP came back to me in a dream¹ and I just think it'd make a good backdrop against which to stage LL!Martyn's grief and subsequent caving in to the influence of the Watchers.

I imagine that the loss of Jimmy, Mumbo and the Southlands to Grian, would also throw him all the way back to Renchanting. His mind would be churning away at the happy endings that never were. The unfairness of it all!

Now there's no Jimmy, no Mumbo, no Red King and no Hand, and Martyn is owed better. He was forced to moved away but not without taking the frostbite with him. He built himself a new home, set it alight, and it offered him no comfort. If all it would take to see things back to proper place was to carve a prayer into the body of a brother —well. Would it really be such an unfair price to pay?

Unsheath your sword and have at him, soldier. Let the thunder roll.

#red spring did indeed begin but it had nothing to do with Martyn #red spring was ren the hermit springing anew from the remnants of the red king of the snowy mountain #fragile and touch-hungry and seeking to bask his battered self under the sun of new devotion even (fairy fort you will always be famous <3)#however a world of blood and sport is not kind to delicate creatures #i could talk forever about how ren poses danger to the status quo which is why the world chose to spit him out eventually #but this is a c!martyn post #c!martyn who yearns for healing but refuses to face the pain #martyn. who would kill an old friend in exchange for the echo of another whom he betrayed and berated in life #he's so fucked up in the head and it's contagious. i must be quarantined #mcyt #trafficblr #third life #last life #martyn itlw #renchanting #the southlanders #elle.txt #don't mind me i've been watching spartacus and it has me in quite the mood (?)
