I might be in the process of dusting off a certain older fic known as Here, Where We Intersect.

If you enjoyed it back in 2017/2018, I’ve added chapters!

Somehow, with each gap, I feel like I’m learning how to write words all over again. Go figure.

Start of work is here on AO3!

Eclipse and Y/n flying together!

Eclipse still lives in his parent's cave, which is right next to the town that Sun and Moon were made in. (The one that got burnt down) Eclipse's parents were both peaceful dragons that kept to themselves. The only time they would venture close to human settlements is when they were looking for shiny objects to put in their collection.

Eclipse was born with a very disfigured face. Although his parents they were quite shocked, they loved him regardless. For he was their one and only child. Eclipse enjoyed playing with his father and learning to fly with his mother. Such fond memories... Those were brought to an abrupt end early in Eclipse's life. It all started with a wretched witch whom had stumbled upon their cave one fateful afternoon...

Warning: Violence, Gore!

Eclipse lazily rolled onto his back, his legs, wings, and tail sprawled out. He scratched his bloated belly with one of his claws. He wanted to go get a drink, but couldn't bring himself to move off his warm, cozy sunbathing rock. Big meals always made him feel this way.

He and his parents had just finished a delicious feast of salmon that they had caught earlier this afternoon. Mother was sleeping soundly in her sunbathing spot in the middle of the cave. Father was rummaging around, looking for something by the nest. Eclipse didn't even lift his head to see, nor did he care.

"This is the life." He thought to himself. He had plenty of space to play, lots of food to eat, and, most importantly, he had a loving family. This was home. His happy little place. Eclipse started slowly drifting to sleep. Closing his eyes, he listened to the sound of the leaves outside blowing gently in the wind, as if singing a lullaby just for him. A cheery cricket would occasionally join in, spicing up the rhythm. Birds chimed in with beautiful harmony. Such a warm, sweet melody.

Before he fully fell asleep, Eclipse suddenly heard Mother stur. He then heard Father swiftly move closer to her location. Reluctantly opening his eyes, he lifted his head. He followed their gaze. Both of them were staring intensely at the cave's entrance, not so much as twitching a claw. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He strained his ears. The cricket and birds had gone deafeningly quiet. A twig snapped somewhere out side. Maybe just a deer? "Darned bushes!" A angry voice huffed from outside.

A big clump of worry started forming in Eclipse's stomach. "Daddy?" He whispered as he quietly jumped down from his rock and rushed to his Father's side. Father was standing next to Mother, who was now sitting up on the floor. "Shhhh!" Father hushed abruptly. He reared up on his hind legs, not taking his eyes away from the direction the noise came from. "Eclipse, get to the nest. Right now!" He commanded.

"But-" Eclipse whimpered, before he cut his own sentence short after a stern look from both his parents. He looked down and turned to go. He hadn't even been able to take a step when a shadow appeared in the mouth of the cave. A human! Eclipse had never seen one so close before. It's skinny body was draped in a long purple cloak with tiny yellow stars. It wore a similarly colored hat that put a shadow over a white bunny mask covering it's face.

The human was shocked to see the dragon family for only a few seconds before it regained it's composer. "Ah, perfect~ Just what he needs." It's voice was very feminine, so it was most likely female. "Leave! Now, human!" Father thundered. Eclipse had never heard him this angry. But the human seemed unfazed. Mother and Father both started snarling at the bunny lady. Eclipse joined in from behind. "You heard us human! Leave! Before things get nasty!" Mother called in warning. "Yeah!" Eclipse shouted, though it came out as more of a shrill.

With a sudden burst of speed Father ran at the bunny lady head on. He swiped a massive wing-claw at her as he let out a mighty, ground shaking roar. The human ducked under what would have been a devastating blow and dive rolled behind him. Her speed seemed unnatural. The human twisted around to face Father as he came around for another attack.

She waited until the last second then jumped over his head and gracefully landed on his back. Before he could react, she flipped off him and to the floor. Father growled, annoyed by the human's maneuvers. He wiped around and bounded at her again. Two glowing green orbs began to quickly form in the human's hands. When they got to the size of small melons, she threw one after the other at Father. Both hit and imploded on his body, showering the cave with two green, fiery explosions.

Mother, who had just shooed Eclipse to the nest, turned to see her mate flung across the cave and slam his back into the floor, almost landing on the nest. He groaned as he slumped, barely conscious. Mother shrieked, furious with the interloper. Now she was going to avenge her mate.

Eclipse watched helplessly as his mother swiftly made her way to the human. She opened her jaws and let out a huge goat of fire. His attention was grabbed from the feiry fight by a loud grunt. His father! Disregarding his parents direct command to stay in the nest, he raced to Father's side. Father was desperately trying to hoist himself up. "Daddy! Daddy! Are you okay?" Eclipse cried, touching his nose to his Father's. "G-get back to the nest!" He collapsed to the floor again. "Father sounds so... tired... and weak...-"

A flash of bright green light and a loud thud interrupted Eclipse's thoughts. On the opposite side of the cave Mother had been thrown to the ground. Even though she was only hit with one orb, the force had knocked her out. As Mother lay quietly on the floor, the bunny lady started to walk towards her. Another green orb began to materialize in the intruder's palm. "Oh, you poor, simple-minded creatures... " She began to tut dangerously.

"He needs you for his plans." She was getting closer and closer to Mother as she continued "Now, be nice little beasties and OBEY."

"NO!" Father called out to his fallen partner. "Get away from her, human!" His voice was growing weak from a sudden sleepiness. No matter how much he clawed at the dirt or thrashed about, he couldn't get himself to stand. He was so unusually exhausted. The bunny lady ignored his pleas. The she gave a chilling cackle as she stopped right next to Mother's tail. "You and your family will do nicely. You had so much fight you." She breathed to the unconscious bragon. She held the green orb above her head. "Time to make sure you're fully asleep!"

Eclipse lunged and bit the women's arm are as hard as he could! "Eclipse! No!" His father croaked frantically. Father was starting to succumb to sleep. His cries landed on deaf ears. Eclipse was in full protective mode. The human swang her arm so swiftly and with so much power he was immediately shaken off. But the orb was flung away as well, barely missed Mother.

The air was knocked out of Eclipse upon impact with the rocky ground. Tears stung his vision and his head spun. The intruder's eyes seemed to glow with rage as she turned slowly to face a winded Eclipse. She was only a few feet front of him in a heartbeat. "You've got guts, don't you, little guy~?" She chuckled. But this was far from funny. She used both hands to clutch his shoulders and bring him to eye-level. She pulled him mere inches from her face.

Eclipse hadn't realized he was only half as tall as her until now. Her eyes had an evil purple sheen to them. "How 'bout I spill those guts of yours~?" She tilted her had "playfully". All the courage he had vanished into thin-air. She forcefully threw him a couple yards away. He quickly stood on his wings and legs. But he couldn't move, he was too afraid. She stood were she was, only moving her right arm so her palm would be aiming at Eclipse.

Purple light began to shine from her hand, quickly forming into a purple orb. Eclipse was frozen. Like a deer caught in the headlights, he was motionless. He had to move. He NEEDED to move! Move! MOVE! MOVE!!! The orb blasted from her hand. Eclipse finally got his body to move, but it was too late. The brunt of the blast hit the right side of his face and scored part of his body. All he could see was white. Pain shook his body. He couldn't even feel the rough landing as he slid across the ground.

The pain stopped, the whole world stopped. White. Pure White. Buzzing ears. Nothing but white and buzzing. Out of nowhere the extreme pain came flooding back. Wave after crashing wave of chaotic, agonizingly grueling pain. He squirmed and wriggled, trying to get away from this scorching sensation. It was burning, melting! He couldn't hear himself, but he was screaming louder than he had ever thought he could. He couldn't control himself as he clawed at his face. He couldn't stop. The added pain made him struggle faster.

Purple. Purple was everywhere. Teeth, lots and lots of black, pointed teeth. They were ravenously sinking into his flesh. They were devouring him. All the while chuckling, laughing, at some unheard joke.

The woman hadn't moved an inch, still by Mother's unmoving tail. She stood there and underneath her mask, unbeknownst to anyone, she had a wicked, twisted smile on her face. She enjoyed this very much. How funny it is to see the little one squirm and cry in the dirt. Rustling behind her caught her attention. In the blink of an eye, something big slammed hard into the interloper's body. The bunny lady was knocked clear out of the cave. It was Mother's tail to the rescue! She must have woken up when she heard Eclipse screaming.

Mother got up on wobbly legs, immediately tumbling over to check on her destressed son. "HONEY! OH, MY BABY! PLEASE! MOMMA IS HERE! OH, MY ANGEL! MY POOR, POOR ANGEL! ---SNFT! - IT'LL -HIC!- BE -- OKAY! It'll... be... okay... it has to be..." she rapped Eclipse in tender wings. He was still sobbing, but not as much anymore. Mother couldn't bare to look at him. She was too scared to see what that monster had done to her little one. She hugged him closer.

Something behind her moved. She snapped her head around, snarling like some feral creature. Her eyes were hungry for bloodshed. Her back arched in fury. But she immediately softened after seeing her startled mate wobbling at them. Father immediately recognized what had happened. They came close together and nuzzled each other's snouts, tears burning their eyes. Father loomed over the crying child curled up in Mother's wings.

Eclipse suddenly went still. Both parents now turned their full attention to him. The both gasped in terror. Some of his shoulder and flank had been scorched, but that wasn't the worst of it. It was his face that tanked most of the blow. Half of their son's face had been melted clean off. Bone was being exposed. The smell of burning flesh was pungent.

Father bellowed and soured out of the cave with malice in his heart. He was gonna find that DAMN witch and FUCKING cook her alive for what she done to his son. Mother stayed with little Eclipse and started using magic to heal him. The bodily wounds healed up right away. His face? Mother stopped the bleeding and had healed the melted skin. But his skin wouldn't meld back together. The bone was still exposed and open to infection. Mother couldn't do ANYTHING to help.

She needed to find a solution quick or her son would surely perish. Father stormed into the cave, fuming. He couldn't find the witch. He came over to his mate, who had just put their son into the nest. They spoke for a long time. There seemed to be no way their son would survive...

Until Father remembered that, in the village below their mountain, there was a skilled and incredibly magic craftsman that created mechanical parts for humans missed arms and legs. Maybe he can fix Eclipse's face... There was only one way to find out. Their son's fate might as well rest in this human's hands...

[fundraising-with-audiobooks]

This is @dyspunktional-leviathan, and this is a new project for helping to fundraise for Gaza, Sudan, Congo, Tigray, possibly more in future. Send me proof of your donations, and I will make audiobooks.

If anyone wants to join the project, you're incredibly welcome! Please message this blog for that.

My current plan is $30 per chapter, but I am not familiar with that currency and this is my first time making audiobooks too, so that might change.

Example recording — Canticle of the Dragon, the first prologue of Dragons of Autumn Twilight (CW for mentions of war, mass death and displacement, gods turning against their subjects):

The further recordings will be posted on AO3, with links on this blog. This chapter on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58599967/chapters/149305654

For every $30 of donations for vetted Gaza evacuation fundraisers (get them here: @vetted-gaza-funds), I will record a chapter of Dragonlance, starting with Dragons of Autumn Twilight and going in release order.

For every $30 of donations for Crips4Esims4Gaza (https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza), I will record a chapter of The Locked Tomb, starting with Gideon the Ninth.

For every $30 of donations for the Mutual Aim campaign (https://www.tumblr.com/ana-bananya/753577456030679040/here-is-an-update-on-the-mutual-aim-campaign-for) that fundraises for the charities helping Sudan, Congo and Tigray, I will record a chapter of Fialleril's Double Agent Vader (https://archiveofourown.org/series/286908).

If/when I'm done with one of these, I will choose a new thing to audiobook for each branch of the project.

@ficsforgaza could I get a promo?

Pirate Raistlin!

[curiouselleth]

Dragonlance Legends AU idea

WARNING, SPOILERS FOR THE LAST TRIAL MUSICAL AND DRAGONLACE LEGENDS I got this wonderful, aka extremely angsty and painful, idea a half hour ago watching the Last Trial Musical, specifically the second half of nightmares. (I only read the first chronicles so far so sorry if I’m missing lore 😅)

———

Crysania gets to Raistlin in the void a few moments later. She pleads with Takhisis so save him, and Takhisis does, (at the same cost as usual). Raistlin comes back and kills Takhisis so so easily. Crysania does not notice it. Then, he doesn’t fail the last trial, he goes to Crysania, passes the trial of compassion, and becomes a god. As his first act as a god, he saves her. Her sight and health are not what they were, but she is alive, no longer blinded, and not going to die. She still does not notice it. He asks her to be by his side as he rules as a god. She accepts in a heartbeat.

Slowly the changes come over the world, small to begin with. Caramon is one of the first to notice, and realizes it’s because Raistlin succeeded and became a god. The Last god.

Caramon does not know if he should be happy that his brother succeeded… or afraid. No, he knows. With how he left Raistlin… he should be afraid. Very, very afraid.

Some years after Raistlin ascends, and the changes on the world are becoming bigger and more noticeable, he goes to Solace to visit Caramon. Raistlin greets Caramon with a smile and a hug. And then, then Caramon notices it. What Crysania didn’t. Perhaps it was a the odd look in Raistlin’s eye, slightly off mannerisms, perhaps not even something visible to the human eye, something only a twin could recognize in their twin. But he notices. And is more terrified than he ever was before

Caramon does his best to pretend to act normal. Like he didn’t see it. Grateful and thrilled to be “truly” reunited with his twin, and that Raistlin succeeded and Takhisis was defeated. Raistlin offers him a seat by his side, not to be his sword, not this time. But to be his brother. Caramon does his best to gratefully decline, saying he wishes to stay with his family, and their place is there. He does not dare to pray that Raistlin does not notice or realize that he knows, because there is no god to pray to, no other god to pray to but him. There’s a flash in Raistlin’s eyes, but he accepts that and leaves. Maybe he doesn’t notice. Maybe he does, and maybe he doesn’t care.

The moment Caramon is sure he is gone, he packs up his family and they flee without a trace, to no one knows where. For Caramon saw what , who hadn’t been seen by any since entering the void, who had perhaps been too blinded by love to see - that was not Raistlin Majere.

He does not know what his brother became, but he is something, something else. If he had been to the void he would’ve seen the vague resemblance between the being that was his brother and the creatures, the souls of people Takhisis warped into something else, especially the similarity to the creature, the demon, the puppet, that Dalamar became there, after being murdered by Raistlin.

But he does not know, he flees with his family to the farthest corner of the world. And he hopes that perhaps, even if that doesn’t save them, that they will know a little bit, one more tiny, small as a grain of sand in an hourglass, bit of peace. Before whatever the creature that was once his twin brother, Raistlin Majere, had planned would come to pass. And the world begins to loose light, the sun and stars not casting the same light they used to, first it becomes sickly, then it fades, to nothing. Until there is nothing. Only flame bringing light, and burning and blinding more often than not. The world made into its own kind of void. Dark shapes and souls struggling and clinging to survival in the dark. People who had learned, do not pray, do not pray to this god, but do not ignore him. They learned their lesson from those who prayed to him and those who denounced him. Do not even dare to hope that he will help you, and hope that he does not notice you. The world does not pray to, something, not a person, but something that once was, ruling it, and sinking it into the abyss of nothing that the soul it once had went into when it was ripped out.

And instead of dissolving into nothing, the near painless death the world would’ve had, all people in the world know long fear and darkness until the painful, vengeful end.

[dickbaggins]

genuinely asking. are you insane. Ive just read The Stakes last night and it changed the chemistry of my brain in a ways that I can't comprehend. i couldn't sleep last night so i am now taking suburban train, eyes blood shot and thoughts racing in my scull like bugs or vampires in the forest searching for someone to bite. I don't even have much to say about the smut except that it was one of the best that i read ever in my life and i found out fanfiction exists when i was like 12 so i read. A Lot. but ... the. the state of their relationship??? jdbdjkdjdjd how do i call it. the way they are insane about each other and Gale ohhhhhh GALE. What The Fuck Gale. What The Fuck DickBaggins. who will take responsibility for all this i am genuinely asking. who will pay for my therapy AFTER THIS. I can't like describe the state of my mind when Astarion left Gale's apartment, taking a train and looking at Waterdeep, the City that took... from him. Feeling like this. Yooooo

now it wasn't surprise that you could capture the nature of Astarion's inner mind very well since i am a fan of your other bg3 works but to do it in an au like this?????????? to extract his utmost self and insert it in what looks like silly hockey au just for it to actually be very complicated world where Gale did such a big mistake when he was younger he's going to pay for it gods above and belong only know how long???? maybe forever??? maybe he'll never wake up feeling Astarion's arms wrapped around him???? And Astarion as an elf he. he relives his memories while he trance yes???? idk if you keep this funky little detail in your au but to think about. It. Losing my mind tbh

what i am trying to tell you. this au brought tears to my eyes and i expected something smutty and juicy and maybe funny and silly and instead you just submerged me in a tragedy so gut wrenching and raw (HA). I am not even exasperating. Wtf.

so. Thank you i guess. I am going to think about it for 30 business days at least :)

That was. Phew. I need to dive in Mithridatism's Gale's weed collection after this because i can't legally find it in my country

Hope you are well, friend

elves are so fucked up. they've just gotta lay there and contemplate all the shit that's ever happened in their lives? this isn't restorative? this is a defect!! and it has to mess them up

and everyone else gets to relax and snore their way through some nonsense dreams every night without the horrible shadow of their past looming over them in razor-sharp, unbidden memories for eight hours straight??

what a raw fucking deal

(and for me canonical vampire spawn astarion doesn't sleep or meditate or any of that stuff UNLESS it's with someone else. otherwise he's up all night prowling and doing his hair and oiling his hand crossbows)

hey I'm glad to have ruined your life a little bit over my hockey au! even though it's uuuh heavy?? it was a lot of fun to write. kinda want to keep finding new aus to throw them into now? there's just so many more situations I want to put them in

eyyy the video i was working on is out!

hope yall like it

i'm trying to give life to the dragonlance animation fandom like D.r. Frankenstein rn

Usually there is a bit of plain bread and water. Some days I see no one at all and receive no food. Some days Wen Chao or an underling stands outside my locked door with a plate of some highly aromatic dish, asking question after question while I silently meditate and the meal grows cold.

Twice they beat me, hoping to gain by brute force what they cannot by threats and cajoling. There has, of course, been no medical treatment for my broken leg or the new bruises.

I can tell Wen Chao and his men grow frustrated that they can force neither word nor reaction from me. It is a consolation. I will not give them the satisfaction. They can beat me, starve me, mock and isolate me. As long as I maintain my dignity I'm winning. As long as I uphold the honor & principles of my clan, Gusu is not lost. I will not give them the satisfaction.

(Each y/n is not specifically for a designated dca, btw)

I'm adding a knight and magic y/n Dragon tale au.

(These are just potential options)

Dragonling y/n pov: You live an a forest close to a large village, a town almost. You liked to sneak into the marketplace and see what goodies you can yoink. A magic staff with the power of mind control had vanished from it's heavily guarded vault one day. And you were the first suspected. After all, humans thought dragonlings were the offspring of a dragon and human (which is blatantly wrong! Who would want to be related to a human? Ehw...) though, dragonlings and dragons aren't closely related, either. The humans are still convinced it was you. Now dragon hunters are on a hunt for you. Maybe you should head into the mountains. It would be safer there, right?

Knight y/n pov: You're from a wealthy family and ran away do to the lack of freedom. You had always been fond of fairytales, especially when there was a brave hero to save the day. One day, (once upon a time, let's say~) you accidentally bump into two real live heroes Sun and Moon. They are teaching people to become warriors and dragon slayers. The one named Moon asks you if you wish to join him tomorrow. You don't even stop to think as you say yes. Was it the opportunity that made you leap, or the fierce (and incredibly handsome) knight standing before you? Maybe a mix of both.

Magic y/n pov: You sell herbs and mushrooms that grow in your garden. Some are good for eating, others are for potions and spells. You used magic quite alot yourself to help grow your plants. Pre-made potions were on big demand recently, and that gave you a chance to make more money. You had converted part of your house into a shop and hung a sign above your door that advertised your goodies. Your shop was very busy most of the time. Frequents arrived at their usual times, newcomers browsed through your products. But there was only one customer on your mind. A handsome fellow named Sun who came by your shop very often. He and his friend Moon were both famous dragon slayers. You two would talk for hours on end. So long, that Moon had once showed up to see if Sun was even still alive. Sun always asked if you ever wanted come over when they taught their dragon defense classes, and every time you would sweetly turn him down. But if it meant you got to see him more...

Please! I will be answering questions about Dragon Tale au if anyone is curious!

[wings-of-fire-confessions]

other anon mentioning their wings of fire fanfic reminded me of this

When I was in... 4th? 5th? grade I wrote a Totally Not Wings of Fire AU about Totally Not my Wings of Fire OCs. It follwed these Totally Original dragons, of which there were 7 species, with names names like "Rainshifter" and "Iceshifter" and they Totally Weren't just Wings of Fire dragons that had mild shapeshifting powers. The baby dragons were called "Dragonlets" which Totally Weren't a combination of "Dragonling" and "Dragonet". There was a war that had been going on for several years. There were super rare magic dragons that lost a bit of their soul when they used their magic. It was called "Talons of Flames". It Totally Wasn't a Wings of Fire rip-off what are you talking about.

A little Dragon AU where Dick and some of the Batkids are dragons :3

This has been rotting away in my drafts for the longest time, and now it's finally seeing the light of day! I hope y'all enjoy!

-----

Bruce wasn't too sure how the hell this happened. 

He blinked helplessly as the snake-like nestling cried helplessly in his arms. The broken bodies of its parents lay not too far away. 

Batman had received a tip regarding a human trafficking deal and discovered the dragon in the basement. There was a nest filled with numerous eggs. Some were crushed, but a few others remained intact.

The nestling continued to pitifully cry, pawing pathetically at Bruce's armored chest. 

He narrowed his eyes, shuffling as he waited for Jim to arrive. The nestling had quieted after finding Bruce's thumb and gnawing on it. 

His heart throbbed as Bruce examined the tiny nestling that could fit squarely in the palm of his hand. 

===

When he tried consulting Zatana, she had attempted to separate the dragonling from Bruce's shoulder. The tiny creature was not receptive, deciding to hiss, breathe cinders, and nearly bite off Zatana's fingers.

Defeated by the vibrantly colored nestling, she had given Bruce a long list of instructions. She asked him to call her if he had trouble tending to the dragonlings, and Bruce had agreed. 

"Alfred!" Bruce called, wincing slightly as the tiny red-green-yellow dragonlin started to nibble his ear. 

"Master Bruce, what- oh my," his butler/father blinked in surprise. The British man looked shocked to see Bruce standing awkwardly by the Batcomputer, a duffle bag filled with two other eggs and supplies. 

The dragonling at his shoulder screamed impatiently, flicking his tail. How such a tiny creature made that noise was a mystery, but it was proof of his life. 

"I assume that we'll be keeping..."

"Him," Bruce supplied, raising his hand and smiling as the small snake-like creature crawled onto his hand, "he tried biting Clark too."

The butler's mustache twitched in amusement, "I see. Does he require any specialized diet?"

Bruce frowned, shuffling over to present the bag to the man, "There should be a booklet in there about the care of dragons. I've glanced through it, but then..."

"I'll help you take care of him, Mater Bruce. Do not worry," Alfred said, reaching over to lift the duffle bag from Bruce's shoulder before carefully setting it on a table. 

Has Bruce ever mentioned how much he loved Alfred? Because he really loves Alfred. Maybe he should raise the butler's salary again?
