✨New item!✨ Luminous Arrow Weapon (arrow), rarity varies

The rarity of this ammunition is determined by the metal its tip is made of. An uncommon arrow is steel-tipped, rare is mithril-tipped, and very rare is adamantine-tipped. 

Steel. A luminous arrow tipped with steel has these magical properties:

On a hit, this arrow deals an extra 1d6 radiant damage to the target. The damage increases by 1d6 if the target is an undead or a fiend. An undead creature of CR 1 or lower hit by this arrow must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or immediately die and turn to ash. Once it hits a target, the ammunition is no longer magical.

Mithril. A luminous arrow tipped with mithril has these magical properties:

The extra radiant damage increases to 2d6 for both the base and creature-type-specific instances.

The CR increases to 2 and the save DC increases to 15.

Illuminate. If you shoot the arrow straight upward, it creates a 60-foot-radius sphere of sunlight 30 feet above you for 1 minute. The sphere is bright light and sheds dim light for an additional 60 feet. The arrow is destroyed when used in this way.

Adamantine. A luminous arrow tipped with adamantine has these magical properties:

The extra radiant damage increases to 3d6 for both the base and creature-type-specific instances.

The CR increases to 3 and the save DC increases to 16.

The radius of both bright and dim light for Illuminate increases to 120 feet, and the duration increases to 10 minutes.

The charred statue of Saint Cyril stands solemnly in a sunny clearing. Tumbled stone and rotten timber are all that’s left of her home, the Chapel of the Sun. Desperate people seek her in times of need. In her open marble hands, wondrous magical gifts appear to true believers. Swords to strike down the dead, potions to cure plague, and luminous arrows to bring the dawn. - 🖌🎨 Like our work?

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by the lovely @rcmclachlan!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

37 + 2 Orphaned Works on main (and two fics that have been removed from AO3 but reposted on Tumblr) 3 under a sock account 1 on a shared account

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

256,810

3. What fandoms do you write for?

All current WIPs are either Hockey RPF or Supernatural

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

five theories about victor "my husband" nikiforov (+ one fact) [YOI]

Family Dinner [The Old Guard]

Lonely Hearts Club [YOI]

the warmest part of winter [YOI]

Modern Marvels [Rick and Morty]

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to, but get overwhelmed pretty quickly. I'm trying to be better about this!

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

the blue house [Hockey RPF, SidGeno]. I would consider it an ambiguously optimistic ending instead of unhappy, but it definitely was written for an angst fest!

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

the warmest part of winter, which is at risk of being too cutesy.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've never seen anything specific on AO3, but I know some people got pretty annoyed with some tropes I helped popularize in Yuri On Ice fandom (Victor Nikoforov Has a Foot Fetish, Yuuri Katsuki is a Huge Slut)

9. Do you write smut?

I sure do!

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you have written?

Sort of. Some people have considered Not Just Nothing [SPN] a crossover instead of an AU. It's a Ken Doll AU.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I've seen

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, and it is honestly the biggest compliment in the world

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I don't know if I should be revealing this, but I was definitely one of the people who wrote Popular Slut Club under the SturgeonGuy29 name 🤫

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

What an impossible question! Probably SidNate, considering they've been making me see shrimp colors for 6 years now.

15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Oh god, I don't want to jinx anything here. I really do intend to finish everything I start writing. I have a doc called Starz 4Ever, where Geno becomes a porn star out of spite.

16. What are your writing strengths?

When my dialogue is good, it's really good. I think very highly of my characterization.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Finishing shit!

18. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?

I used to do this, and I meaningfully don't anymore unless it's crucial for the plot. I was actually embarrassed going back to a Yuri on Ice fic to see I had written some Victor dialogue in Cyrillic.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I want to say I was writing Seiya/Usagi for Sailor Moon in like, 1999 or 2000, but I couldn't tell you what it was about or where to find it.

20. Favorite fic you have written?

I'm really fond of Say When. Sid/Nate/Andy feels so personal to me at this point. It has my favorite sex scene I've ever written, and I'm eager to post more for the universe.

I also am still proud of we should be stars and perfect tens (Rick and Morty, heed the tags), which is a little rougher with age but I think the execution of two parallel narratives both written in second perspective is well done, and the blue house considering the subject matter.

Tagging: anyone who wants to do it!

random question

so what are your opinions on people editing you characters e.g using voice lines from videos and stuff

i want to edit Cyril on tik tok so bad 💃

I'm okay with it as long as

1. You don't ever use audio from anything exclusive to patreon

2. It's actually something that you've created/put work into (i.e. not just reposting clips with nothing added to them/not actually edited in any way)

3. You give credit to me for the source material

(Kind of unrelated but using unedited audio clips for things like animatics/animations/things like that is okay, again as long as you give credit for the source material and don't use exclusive audios)

Things right now in France have been insane since the European elections. If you didn't know :

- A far-right party, RN (that was founded by literal Nazis) got 32% of the votes amidst a turnout of only 51% of people who can vote

- the president (center/center right), who's party did terribly considering he's sitting president, decided to dissolve the Assemblée Nationale (think US Congress, kinda) and new elections will happen on 30 June and 7 July

- if RN gets the majority of seats in this election that means the president will have to choose someone from their party as his prime minister

- the left has decided to make an alliance, like we did against the rise of fascism in 1937 (it worked, the regime was different back then and more parliamentary but we still elected Léon Blum as president) called Front Populaire, same name as back then

- both Reconquête (far right too, just as bad as RN but less popular) and LR (right) called for talks with RN into forming an alliance as well but both ended in schisms with Eric Zémour (main backer of Reconquête) decided to pull out while Marion Maréchal (niece of the RN bigwig) decided to leave/was excluded for going to her aunt's side (the only real difference between them is they don't agree who is more detestable between a white queer french person and an immigrant of colour)

- the details of the LR schism is even more insane. The president of the party, Éric Ciotti, called for the alliance with RN but most people are against that because there is a big difference between being concervative and voting for the Nazi party so he was ousted of his role as president of the party but he refused his firing, got everyone out of the party HQ and locked himself in.

- the LR's Twitter account is on Ciotti's side, the Facebook account is against him. Several LR politicians were seen outside the building preparing to physically remove him. The general secretary came as a saviour with the spare key to the building and he was kicked out. The Twitter account was closed

- a politician from a left party went on the show of Cyril Hanouna (TV host, fucking stupid, everyone I know absolutely loathes him but he gets a lot of views apparently, he supports RN). They argued and called each other "toutou" (kind of childish word for dog, essentially bitch but less vulgar and without sexual implications). Another politician decided to repost the video of Hanouna blowing into a dog's anus

All of this happened in, like, 72h total.

And of course the plan to shit in the Seine (river that goes through Paris) en masse on 23 June, maybe 30 June, when the president and the mayor of Paris will go to swim in it to prove it's clean enough for the Olympics opening ceremony and swimming competitions (it's not, the river has dead bodies, sewage and trash in it and I think it seeps into the catacombs).

So, yeah, this is an absolutely wild time to live in France and I need to go bother every apolitical and/or lazy person I know to vote and do so against the RN because I do NOT want to live under a fascist government. I'm seeing my grandparents tomorrow and I'm hoping really hard that their LR ass fell on the right side of the schism or Christmas will be tense between my queer ass, my black siblings, my leftist brother and literally everyone else having genuinely considered leaving the country when there was the possibility of the RN winning during the last presidential elections.

Repost: @renaldogouws South Africa is not the only one that has this problem with Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC. Our people here in the USA; and the people of Brazil have these same problems too with Donald J. Trump, Jair Bolsonaro; and the GOP, and Brazil's Social Liberal Party, also known as PSL. Just recently, Bolsonaro's supporters stormed the government buildings in Brasilia, and sacked them. This happened on January 8th, just two years and two days after Trump supporters sacked the US Capitol in Washington DC.

Cyril - AS

Summary: Tommy finds Alfie alive, and in return for some men Alfie wants his dog back, but that isn't all he gets when he meets you.

Do not repost or rewrite any of my work. Minors and blank blogs get blocked.

Masterlist

"So 'ow did you know I was not dead?" Alfie questioned Tommy Shelby while he looked most relaxed in his usual armchair. Tommy was stood by the window looking out at the ships.

"You sent me a letter asking how your dog was." Tommy recalled.

Alfie shifted his head to look over at Tommy, the deep scar across his cheek where he was shot could be seen clear as day. So was his cloudy left eye, another consequence of Tommy's shot.

"Did I?" Alfie mumbled out as a reply. He turned his head back to stare directly in front of him. He took in a breath before adding to his question.

"Well, you see Thomas I was on a lot of drugs. Weren't I? Cause some cunt shot me in the face, I won't bore you with the details of what 'appened which you'll be happy to hear." Alfie rambled, turning his head to look at Tommy when he mentioned being shot in the face.

"Well Mr Solomons, you'd be happy to know that your dog is being well looked after by a lovely girl who's had a dog before and absolutely adores them." Tommy spoke as he lit up a cigarette, finally sitting down just across from Alfie.

"Well at least you gave him to a person of substance I s'pose." Alfie said, running his hand through his beard thoughtfully. He still wasn't happy about not having his dog, but he had to take recovery time in Margate before letting anyone or anything know that he was alive.

"She's a very reasonable girl, Alfie. I'm sure if you wanted to see him then she'd let you. All you need do is tell me and I can arrange it."

Tommy's words lingered in Alfie's head. He wanted to see his dog, and also meet this girl, it had been quite a while since he had any interaction at all with the female species.

"Very well Thomas. You set it up and I'll be there. Name the date and time." Alfie finally decided after mulling over his options.

And so it was decided. Tomorrow morning at 9 exactly Tommy would walk Alfie to the meeting place to see his dog and meet the girl who had been caring for him.

Tommy might've forgotten to mention a certain feature this girl had, making her already have more in common with Alfie than he first thought.

The next morning~~

"Well bloody 'ell Thomas, could you have picked somewhere more remote?" Alfie steamed.

He had already gotten used to the small town that was Margate. No city smells, no smog in the air, no threat from the Italians. It was heavenly.

So when Tommy picked up Alfie that morning and drove him straight back through London, Alfie was less than impressed. Especially because he had no idea where they were, or why they were driving through a secluded area.

"We're here now Alfie, you can get out and stretch your legs." Tom pronounced.

It was a few minutes to nine, and Tommy was expecting the girl to arrive at any moment. She was always early, never late.

Tommy checked his pocket watch, it read 8:59. He raised his head as his hand re-pocketed the watch. He looked left and right, all around to try and see any sign of the girl.

Alfie continued to grumble incoherently to himself about being in London, Tommy setting him up to he killed again, threatening to leave at 9:01. Tommy just ignored him and waited.

9:00. Alfie fell silent at last as they waited. All of a sudden, Alfie felt something wet touch his hand, causing him to flinch backwards and withdraw his hand from his sides, almost reaching for his gun.

Both Tommy and Alfie looked to see what spooked him, to find a familiar face staring back at them in curiosity.

Cyril.

"You stupid fuckin' mutt you! You gave me a fuckin' heart attack!" Alfie exclaimed with false anger, walking back over and bending down to pet his old friend and embrace him in a hug.

Cyril jumped happily at his old owner and tried to lick him all over. He was still wearing a collar so Tommy knew the girl couldn't be far behind. And he was right.

"Here I was thinking you weren't gonna turn up." Tommy said as the girl approached. He took a few steps towards her to embrace her in a friendly hug and gave her cheek a quick kiss to be polite.

In return, she gave Tommy a dazzling smile and passed her eyes quickly over the scene taking place before them, Alfie playing and petting Cyril like they'd never been separated.

"Well Mr Shelby, you know I like to keep you on your toes. Couldn't be too predictable could I?" She quipped, causing Tommy to let a small smile grace his lips. She turned back to Tommy and they lightly conversed with each other to give Alfie more time with Cyril.

Eventually Alfie had calmed down and turned back to finally meet this girl. Tommy saw and turned as well to face Alfie.

"Alfie, I'd like you to meet someone, this is Adinah. Adinah, this is Alfie, Cyril's previous owner." Tommy introduced them to one another.

When Adinah turned to give Alfie a friendly smile, he couldn't believe his eyes. She was stunning. Her body wasn't thin, but well toned underneath her full-length skirt and loose shirt that she was wearing and her hair fell effortlessly behind her shoulders.

The one thing that caught Alfie's eye was the scar Adinah had, that cut through her right eyebrow and over her eyelid. Even though her eye opened all the way, it was a light grey colour that contrasted beautifully with her left eye that was a entrancing dark blue.

For once in his life, Alfie was gobsmacked. He tried not to let his jaw drop at the sight before him as Adinah could've taken it the wrong way, that he was staring.

Admittedly he was, but not in a bad way. He couldn't believe this beauty was stood in front of him like dangling bait, waiting to be taken and wooed.

"Adinah you say Thomas?" Alfie inquired, he knew that was her name, he just wanted to tease a little bit.

"That's right Alfie." Tommy replied. He walked towards Alfie to go past him, and muttered on the way past, "Play nice, Mr Solomons."

"You ain't gotta worry 'bout that Tom. No no." Alfie replied, running his hand through his beard as he had done in the morning.

"So you the one that's been lookin' after my dog?" Alfie asked, looking at Adinah.

"Yeah."

"He wasn't too much of a mutt then." Alfie joked.

At this, Adinah released a breathy laugh and smiled at Alfie.

"No! He's lovely company." Adinah replied through her smile.

Almost as if he was able to sense he was being talked about, Cyril plodded over to Adinah and pressed his head to her legs, asking to be pet. She obliged and stretched her hand to graze it over Cyril's head and back.

"Alfie, are you going to take him for a walk? I'm sure Adinah wouldn't mind." Tommy said from behind Alfie, reminding him of his existence.

"Well yes I s'pose so Thomas, but I don't want to go by myself now, do I? Would you consider joining me my lovely lady as a thank you for takin' such good care of my dog?" Alfie asked Adinah, his arm slightly stretched out for her to take.

"Well, I s'pose I have some time, Mr Solomons." Adinah teased, walking towards Alfie and taking his arm.

"Don't feel like you have to stick around and wait for me Thomas, go about your day as a free man. Have some fun and I'll be back when I am finished." Alfie dismissed Tommy as he led himself and Adinah through the secluded grounds and threw sticks for Cyril.

As they walked together, they chatted and laughed and got closer and closer, both physically and emotionally. Alfie's arm now lay around Adinah's waist as hers rested on his back.

They began to make their way back towards the spot where Tommy had dropped them off. Alfie believed he had just found the living version of Margate, so he wouldn't be leaving her just yet.

"Well Alfie I had a lovely walk with you today, thank you." Adinah said as they approached the meeting point, but Alfie wasn't having any of it.

"No no no. Not yet. What kinda man would I be, right, if I were to let such a beauty walk home by herself? Hmm? Not a very fuckin' good one, aye? So I'm going to walk you home and I'll tell Cyril goodbye and then I can walk back 'ere. Can't I?"

"You don't want to take him with you?" Adinah asked, thinking after not seeing him for a long time Alfie might've wanted his dog back.

"That is what I was thinking before I met you, right, but since I've had a fucking lovely chat with you and now I know what you're about, I trust that you will take great care of my dog. He's better here anyway." What Alfie had failed to mention was his plan to use Cyril as an excuse to keep seeing Adinah.

"Very well Alfie, walk me home then."

The two gladly started walking again, still wrapped in each other's arms until they reached Adinah's house.

"Well, this is me. Thank you again, Alfie. It's been quite a while since I laughed like I did today." Adinah turned to face him directly, Cyril happily plodding up to the familiar door and scratching on it playfully to be let inside.

"Be patient you fuckin' mutt, fucking hell." Alfie started, making Adinah laugh at his relationship with his own dog.

"Actually, I want to thank you. You have been fuckin' amazing company and I wish to see you again very shortly. Especially to, you know, see my dog and all."

"Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason." Adinah laughed, calling Alfie's rather obvious bluff and relenting to fish her keys from her handbag and unlock her door to let Cyril inside.

Once it was open, the big dog jumped inside the familiar place and went to find himself some snacks.

"So, when do you want to see him?" Adinah asked.

"Oh come on, you know I was fuckin' about. As a compromise however I would like to take you out sometime. Of course, the compromise being you would bring Cyril with you."

"I think that's a fair compromise Mr Solomons."

"Ever heard of Margate." Alfie asked her as he took her hand and brought her closer to him so he could shamelessly gaze into her stunning eyes. In return, she wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head to the side.

"Place along the sea, right? I've heard that it's fucking beautiful." Adinah said as she took in Alfie's face as he did the same to her.

"Yeah, I'd say it's alright. Want to meet there for our next meeting?"

"Course. Slight problem though." Adinah began.

"What is it, lovely?"

"I don't know how to get there. That's why I've only ever heard of it from other people. Actually, I've never seen the sea. I bet it's beautiful." She sighed, looking into the distance as her mind began daydreaming of such a wonderful place.

Alfie's hands moved down to her waist as he pulled her even closer so he could see the emotions playing out in her eyes, making him star struck at how she became even more attractive when talking about something she loved.

"Well as a promise to you, right, I'll send a car to you so you can be picked up and it'll bring you and Cyril to Margate. If you come, I promise to you that I will show you the sea. For as long as you want."

Half a day with this girl and Alfie was already going soft, doing things just to make her happy. If Tommy Shelby was here to see this, Alfie would never live it down.

Adinah looked down at the ground with a smile on her face. She lifted her head and bit her lip to suppress the smile that was growing while looking Alfie directly in his eyes.

"Do you want to come in, while you wait for Tommy to come and get you?"

"I probably shouldn't, but I will anyway just while I'm waitin'." Alfie agreed as he followed her inside her flat and pet Cyril when he nudged his head against the back of his hand.

"Drink?"

"No thanks lovely, I don't touch the stuff."

"You don't drink?" Adinah asked, confused.

"Not alcohol, no." Alfie answered as he saw the confusion melt from her face as she realised what he meant.

"You can sit and make yourself comfortable, I'm sure Tom won't be long."

"Yeah, unfortunately." Alfie grumbled under his breath.

He lowered himself onto her sofa and rested his head against the back, closing his eyes as he let the aches in his muscles ease away. Alfie turned his head left and pried one eye open when he felt Adinah sit next to him with Cyril following closely behind her. She turned to look at him and smiled slightly.

"Tired?" She questioned. Alfie returned her smile with one of his own.

"Been a long time since I've left the house for that long, it felt nice but I forgot how tiring it can be."

"You can sleep if you want, I'll wake you when Tommy arrives." She offered gently.

But Alfie didn't want to sleep. He wanted to spend as much time as he could getting to know this new girl. She had him in a trance that he couldn't get out of and didn't want to. He hadn't felt that in a long time and found himself yearning for it.

"I'd rather spend my time talking to you, wouldn't I?" Alfie proposed, his eyes boring into Adinah's as they sat comfortably close to each other.

"Very well, Mr Solomons." She agreed.

So that's what they did. They talked and talked about random things, the weather, their childhoods, what brought them both to Camden Town. And afterwards, both were smitten with one another. Their moments they were sharing had to draw to a close though, because a car light shone through Adinah's front window and remained parked outside.

"I think that's Tommy." Adinah breathed out, deliriously tired from her conversation with Alfie.

"Yeah, I think it might be. Your point being?" Alfie joked in response, just wanting to see Adinah smile one final time. And he was rewarded with possibly the most beautiful smile he'd seen the whole night.

"Go on. No one keeps a man like Thomas Shelby waiting." Adinah chided Alfie as she stood up, holding her hands down to help him get up. He took them and pulled to heave himself from the sofa.

Adinah walked him to the front door where he made sure he had all of his belongings and then got ready to say their final goodbyes.

"So do ya still want to come to Margate?" Alfie checked, even though he knew the answer.

"Of course I do." She confirmed. "When do you want to meet next?"

"Lady's choice, ain't it?"

"Alright, are you free tomorrow by any chance Mr Solomons?" Adinah asked teasingly.

"For a beautiful woman like you, I'm free any day." Alfie replied in a flirtatious way.

"Tomorrow then Alfie, at 10?"

"Tomorrow at 10, Adinah." He confirmed.

Alfie reached behind him and opened Adinah's front door but didn't turn to make any movement.

"Well goodnight Alfie." Adinah spoke as her head tilted upwards, giving Alfie a slow kiss on the cheek and a loose hug around his middle.

Alfie had one hand half on the side of her face and half in her hair, while his other hand was fully wrapped around her waist, holding her body and smell close to him.

Before he let her go completely, his right hand that was on her hair and face gently traced over the scar that marked her forehead and eyebrow with fascination of how it made her more beautiful.

"Goodnight lovely, I'll be seein' you tomorrow."

"Yes you will Mr Solomons." Adinah replied before Alfie let her go completely and wandered down to Tommy's car.

Alfie climbed in the front seat and waved at Adinah as himself and Tommy drove back to Margate.

"So, nice walk?" Tommy asked.

"Oh yeah, and I'll be havin' many more in the future Thomas. The very near future." Alfie replied, already thinking of meeting with Adinah again tomorrow and imaging her face lighting up as she saw the beauty of Margate, something only Alfie could give to her and he was determined to keep it that way.
