Will you be making “my blood between your lips” an audiobook? No pressure of course I just would like you know :D
I know it’s a disappointing answer, but sadly probably not 😅
As much as I had a ton of fun writing it and I really love the setting and the versions of some of the Fable characters I created, I was never as attached to Blood as I was Brink, and the unfortunate thing is that as much as I think the audiobook format is really fun and I know a lot of people enjoy it, it’s a big time commitment, which I sadly don’t have the time for right now among other things. It’s part of the reason the Brink audiobook is still in production/on hold after all this time. At the end of the day, the audiobooks are a lot of time spent putting a lot creative effort into a project where I’ve already spent that time on writing it, in a way.
Especially now, where my life commitments limit the time I have for creative projects a lot more, I’ve really been trying to prioritise the time I spend on things and the projects I work on. Whether it’s being part of the SMPs I’m on and storytelling through those, working on things like Cantripped and other podcasts, or writing in general (both editing old fics, writing new ones, and working on new personal projects that I hope to publish someday), they’re projects I find more creatively fulfilling for the amount of time I get to spend on them right now.
Its not that I don’t find My Blood Between Your Lips or the Brink audiobook creatively fulfilling of course, I do a lot, it’s just sadly not something I’m prioritising at the moment, or planning to continue working on past the conclusion of current projects at this point in time.
That being said, if other people in the fandom would ever want to create their own form of podfic or audiobook version of Blood, I’m completely alright with that (with proper crediting and such)!! I know a lot of people in the fandom were really attached to that fic, and if there is a demand for an audio version in the fandom, who knows, I have nothing against people picking that up and running with it themselves! With any of my fics for that matter. I know a ton of people who make fantastic audiobook adaptations of fanfics; podfics are huge part of the fandom ecosystem! It would be an honour to listen to it if anyone did! But it’s just sadly not something I’m personally planning on making anytime soon 🫶 /gen

Last time I made a post like this, some of you replied with some pretty good ideas, so lets try this again...
Fable smp things that I find hard to translate into a modern AU cause how tf do you do that-:
• The entire corruption arc
• The Telkin in general
• The fact that Caspian got put into Prison and got experimented on (and if it were a "he went to prison for a couple days" type of thing - wtf would he have done!?)
• Jamie's trauma of being locked into the basement (in a modern AU I feel this would be taken more seriously)
• The Major gods and their "sibling war rivalry"
• The War of the Realms
• The Skulk/Warden
• Rae being a WereWarden and having to leave for 6 months
• Epros and Kinaxis
• Hayley, Momboo and Enderiens death???
• Centross' Death and the fact that he knew about it
• Easton going blind
• Ven and Ulysses originally being from Australia 😂 (my guys, what are you doing all the way over there lol
(Feel free to add to this)

( @ya-boi-haru its done!)
Kaleidoscope content
Minor panic does occur
Chat Quixis being touch starved and Malitae not having that
————
Malitae hummed watching Quixis move around his island. They noticed how the other hovered slightly above the ground. Frowning Malitae moved to stand near them.
“Masterpiece? You alright?”
“I dont want to ruin your art”
“You won't ruin anything masterpiece, you make beautiful art!”
Malitae thought for a second before she weaved a pair of gloves. They silently handed them to Quixis, smiling.
“You sure?”
“Quixis my love when was the last time you touched someone or something?”
Quixis went silent at that. It had been a long time, probably since before their world collapsed. Probably not since the hug they had gotten from [Glitched] before everything went wrong.
“I don't remember…” they mumbled as a response. Malitae moved closer to them but Quixis flinched away. They didn't want to hurt her.
“You won't hurt me masterpiece, it'll be okay,” Malitae soothed gently tugging the gloves onto Quixis’ hands. Quixis realized in that moment how long it had been since they had gotten a hug. Or any sort of affection. Quixis felt the complete exhaustion wash over them as they leaned on Malitae. “See? You're not changing anything love,” Malitae whispered in their ear.
Quixis had forgotten how comforting it was to be held. They had long since forgotten the feeling, the feeling of being loved. But they had Malitae now, they had a wonderful partner. For at least a little longer.. Quixis knew this world would eventually crumble, they all did at one point or another.
They knew not to get attached.
But they had, they'd gotten attached to her, to the wonderful deity who was still reminding them that they hadn't hurt him. Quixis felt themself get picked up and carried somewhere. They were nervous at first but once they realized it was just Malitae they relaxed. They didn't know why the wack wouldn't touch her. But currently they didn't care.
For the first time in a very long time spanning longer than this world, Quixis felt safe.
————
Malitae watched from her building, Quixis was supposed to be back soon! They had had to leave to check on Icarus whom she had learned was their tether to this world. There was a flash of color at the edge of his vision. Malitae turned to see one of the blocks in their room quickly changing between various red blocks. Normally Malitae would see a block or two change when Quixis was about to show up but never this many or this quickly.
It seemed like they were warning her….
The reasoning behind was quickly answered as Malitae heard people landing outside. A quick glance outside said it was three people
The one who went by Ven, Creations kid, and Creation himself. Wait, why was Creation here? Malitae grew nervous. Quixis appeared next to them.
“I- I tried to stop them! Mal your in danger! I couldn't- I couldn't stop him!” Quixis rambled, panic filling their voice as they looked up at the taller. Malitae looked down at the smaller and pulled them into a hug.
“It'll be okay Masterpiece, they haven't found me before and they wont this time,” Malitae soothed running his hands through Quixis’ hair. Malitae could hear the intruders walking around looking for him but he couldn't care less. They wouldn't find her not while she had someone to protect.
————
Quixis had fallen asleep on Malitae while they waited for the intruders to leave. Malitae smiled and silently played with their hair. Fable had long since left their island and Malitae was relieved. Malitae felt herself drift off to sleep content to spend time with their love.

So - I am still working on the next chapter of "Three Wishes for Caspian" [I had to make some - many - changes to the original plan for all the chapters and rn I am also preparing for Zenni's visit so there's just a lot happening] but in the meantime, please enjoy some screenshots from the actual film that I am referencing for this AU.
Yes, they are silly. Yes, everybody is in really cheap costumes. This is a low budget film from 1972/73. It's part of the charme.

Just finished Miscommunications by echos_of_incoherence on ao3, and I really liked it so @creator43-cerise thanks so much for the fic recommendation :]
And if anyone else wants if anyone else is also looking for a fable smp fanfic, you should read it. Its two chapters, so it's a nice short fic to read in between doing things

Egotober Day 3: Jewel
Day 3:  Jewel
Fable SMP Finale
Summary:  Icarus was infected by the Wack and knows it’s too late for them.  They do their final goodbyes, to their loved ones.  Going to where it started, the decaying, the abnormalities, the rioting, the Wack, Iracus decides that that is the place to end it.  Only to find out that it’s not the end, it’s only the beginning.
TW: Implied Character Death. SPOILERS FOR SERBERTQUACK'S FABLE SMP FINALE!
A/N: Hey! I'm not dead! Sorry, I haven't been posting in a long ass while! IRL Events have been kicking my ass! I don't think I'm going to be getting as much as I hoped done for Egotober/Whumptober. But in all honesty, I think I'll be alright with that!
Just a heads up, I probably will be posting after the events have ended! But this is literally my excuse to get some writing done!
HAPPY CREATING! And if you haven't go check out the Multi-Fandom Fiends you put together the Fable SMP!
(The Wack Area)
Icarus was infected and they didn’t know what to do or how to feel about it.  It’s getting worse.  The pain was getting worse, and the Wack was spreading.  Icarus was a crossroads.  They just killed their Dad, after they found out what he was planning.  Icarus felt like a fool!  The gaslighting, the manipulating, the urge to get their Dad’s approval, and thinking that they were doing the right thing, only to have it be flipped upside down.  Now, everything is starting to crumble.
Icarus, even asked Centros now Violet the God of Balance, if there was anything he could do.  There isn’t.  There’s nothing he or anyone can do.  Icarus just released the breath that they didn’t know they were holding.  So, this was it then?  Somehow, they knew, they knew that it was their time.  It was supposed to be their time, but Fable couldn’t let them go.  They couldn’t let Icarus their son, go and let them die, so they reset the timeline.  Over and over and over again, every time, Fable with reset the timeline, if that meant that they didn’t lose their son.  But it was time.  It was time for Icarus to say goodbye.  It was time for Icarus to set things right.
It was their time so now, they get to do the one that it was meant to be.  Icarus went to their friends and family and said their goodbyes.  They didn’t elaborate, they didn’t explain, they didn’t let anyone know what they were planning on doing.  All Icarus said was they had something to do and it involved “investigating” the Wack.
With a stack of rocks and the purple and yellow elytra wings on, Icarus flew to the spot where it all started.  The spot near their home and where Quixis and they were talking. And where the Wack and decay have been the worst.  Looking down in the hole Icarus knew what they had to do.
“You were right things,” Icarus said to chat.  “I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you.  You were trying so hard to tell me, but I just didn’t - no I just couldn’t accept the truth.  But now, it’s finally time.  It’s finally time to do the one thing that should have happened all those years ago.”
Icarus looked to the sky and smiled.  The birds were singing, the bees were buzzing and the they knew that everything would be okay.  They weren’t meant to be here.  They weren’t meant to still be alive.  They were meant to be in the Aether with the other souls passing by and then eventually they would come back reincarnated and see their family and friends again.  And with that, Icarus smiled and jumped.
(Sherbert Multiverse Portal)
“Icarus,” an echoing voice called to them.  “Icarus.  Open your eyes Icarus.”
Icarus gasped and then they shot up and began to look around.  Wait, where are they?  Hold on, they’ve been here before, right?  It looks familiar?  But how?  How are they still alive?  How are they here?  Icarus then saw someone across from them, that looked a lot like them but different at the same time.  Some pointing ears, same facial features but they also looked so completely different from them.  Their eyes are black and have a black-like mask, the jacket is similar to Icarus but the main is white with a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors on the sleeves, sides, and back of the jacket.  Their hair is completely white and part of their fingers are black.  On top of the white hair is a silver circulate, and a white teardrop jewel in the middle of their forehead.
Icarus knew who was standing in front of them.  “Quixis?”
“Hello, Icarus,” Quixis greeted them.  “It’s nice to finally meet you.”
“What is going on?  I’m not dead, am I?”  Icarus asked very confused.
“No, you’re not dead.  Far from it,” Quixis answered.  “And as far as what is happening.  Well, something that should have happened a long time ago.”  Quixis then took the jewel from their forehead.  “This is Quixis.”
“But you’re Quixis.”
“No, I’m not Quixis.  See, my name is Midas, I’m actually you from the Gray World, as you would call it.  I was called here by the Quixis before me, and in doing so, I lost my family and friends and my world because I was called here too soon,” Quixis tries to explain.
“See Quixis is a title.  When start to show the signs, then you’re supposed to be called to take over.  And you are in charge of fixing any abnormalities that have occurred in your world and the next world.”
“What do you mean by showing the sign?”  Icarus asked.  Midas then pointed at the eye that was bleeding.
“When your eye begins to bleed it means that you’re next in line to take over.  Or the center of the next series of abnormalities.  I was supposed to call you here and pass you the crown and stop them, stop the abnormalities from happening,” Midas gave a sheepish smile.  “But when you started to show the signs, you were young, much younger than me when I was called.  I couldn’t take your whole life from you.”
“So, I waited and waited, and waited, and then -”  The memory of Fable ripping the page out of the Book of Present flashed before their eyes.  “I waited too long.  When Fable caused that first reset he did something to your world.  It ripped me away from you, I couldn’t get to you.  And since then well things have gotten out of hand.”  As if to prove Midas's point another abnormality happened.  “I shouldn’t have waited, but I’m glad I did.  You got to see the end of your story through, something that I didn’t get the chance to do.”
“I didn’t realize,” Icarus said.
“I know, and I don’t blame you.  But now, I must ask you to do the unthinkable.  Once you take this mantle everything will be set straight, all the worlds will stop decaying, and all the versions of us will get their lives back.”  When Midas turned back to Icarus, he had a sad guilty look on his face.  “But in your world, the change is too great”
“W-what do you mean?”  Icarus asked not liking where this was heading.
Midas took a deep breath, “To help them. You’ll have to erase any reminisce of changes.  Any reminisce of you.  You’re too closely tied to abnormalities it will be impossible to separate the two.  To them, it will be like you died back when you first would have before the resets took place.  And their memories will fill in the gaps without you.”  Midas explained.  “Their worlds will be the same without any risk of changes and they’ll have each other.”
“Oh,” Icarus said as realization dawned on them.
“Icarus I -”
“No, it’s okay,” Icarus said, and then more slowly, “They be okay, right?  They’ll all be okay and happy?”
“I think so,” Midas shrugged and he gave the most honest answer.
“Good,” Icarus breathed and then smiled.  “I guess I do get to fix something after all.  I am sorry, for everything.  Everything I put you through and everything I put all them through.”
“I don’t blame you,” Midas said and he meant it.  He honestly doesn’t blame Icarus.  “Neither do they.  Your family, your friends, they care for you.  And now you get to help them.  Protect them.  Until you get to go home.”
“Wait, I get to go home?”  Icarus asked hopeful.
“Yes.  Quixis is a position that you serve.  It was always meant to be temporary.  If it hadn’t gone wrong -”
Icarus couldn’t help but give a nervous laugh.  “So, what happens to you now?”  Icarus asked seeing the unsure look on Midas.
“I don’t know.  My world is gone, but with how long I spent here I can hardly call that my world at all.  So, I guess that’s for the both of us to find out.  You’re going to be a great Quixis.”  Midas reassures.
“I’m ready,” Icarus says and steps forward.  They take the jewel and turn towards the portal where they can see the different worlds.  And puts the jewel on.  Instantly, all the different versions of the Icarus began to notice a subtle change in their world.  All of them, their right eye had stopped bleeding.  None of them knew why but as soon as they saw that it wasn’t bleeding, they all shrugged and went on with their days.  None of them knew that Quixis was fixing everything to be the way it was supposed to be.
“Hey Things!  I think I’m going to miss talking to you all!  You, people.  The ones that somehow got “glitched” into my world watching from behind your screens and trying to help me.  I thought it sounded crazy and that you were crazy when you first said it, but now I see, that you were telling the truth.  Now, you're free! Yes, really!  You don’t have to stay here, you did it!  You’re still here huh?  Well fine!  Let’s make it an agreement then.  All of my versions are at least a little aware now.  If you're going to stick around, keep a proper eye on them all.  I might be Quixis now but I can’t keep communicating to you or them like Quixis did.  I do things like that in check after all.
And my family is well.  I know they will be okay.  You can’t stay with them though.  Not like you have been.  I can’t risk ripping that world apart again.  They’ll give you glimpses, I mean they already are.  I know I’ll get to see them again, one day.  But for now, how about you guys remember me for them?  I’ll be okay here.  Really, I will.  I finally get to do the one thing I always wanted to do.  Something right.  Thank You Things!  And goodbye!” Before Iracus was able to close the portal, something else unexpected popped in.  Bawk, Bawk, Bawk!  “Of course, you will find a way here.  Okay, Charles, let’s get started!”

The Brink Brain Worms are back and wilder than ever-
Anyway so tonight I printed out a giant vintage map from the 1850’s and began marking all the listed locations that are visited in the Brink series.
With the exception of like, specific houses, and one fictional town, everywhere is like, actual locations so… now they’re marked on this map in colour coded pins for each book in the series.
So far this is Brink, and the first 30 chapters of Edge.
Tumblr media
Technically some of them aren’t listed for Brink: if they’re exist in the same city/county in the UK (like Rae’s lab, Charleston House, and Bovine House, all of which are in London) it just gets one marker. But other than that, I think it’s everywhere up until chapter 30. I’m hoping to get a higher definition map soon to make things a little easier but also this was a dumb project I started at midnight on a Sunday so… who knows where it’ll go

Ayo I did a thing!
I took the episode "Sublimation" [Ven: S3 E:8] With Ven and Ocie and did some funky audio work to make it sound how I imagine this scenario would go in my Miraculous AU...
(Headphones recommended!)
It's tricky to get the exact/canon sounds from Miraculous and I obviously can't get the CCs to say the command phrases, but we'll just use our ✨️imagination✨️
Context, audio description and reference images under the cut!!!
So in a past couple posts I made myself a fun challenge of assigning Miraculous to Fable Characters (you can find those posts under my page with #miraculous au) and then slowly am making a little AU about it...
I do plan to do a big post of headcannons and miraculous designs, but I couldn't wait to post this, so to try and summarise...
In my AU, Ocie has the Tiger Miraculous - which grants the user "clout" (which is basically a super op force punch) and Ven has the Fox Miraculous - which grants illusion.
Unlike Miraculous, it doesn't turn them into superheros, more so gives them the Miraculous power, gives them some animal themed (whichever animal their miraculous is) armour and the weapon with the miraculous
Audio Description:
- To threaten Ven and get revenge, Ocie activates her miraculous and gives Ven time to run before summoning her 'Clout' ability.
- Ven runs into the Nether and hides to activate his miraculous and create an illusion of himself for Ocie to chase, hoping it will buy him some time to get somewhere safer.
- Ocie steps through the Portal and chases after Illusion Ven but slips and falls through an open gap in the path, falling and knocking her out
- Ven, hearing Ocie call out, runs over to see what happened, calling off his illusion and seeing Ocie knocked out on the Nether floor
--
This is just one idea I had for how this AU would go, I think it's really funky and I can't wait to do the last few posts I have for this AU (assigning the last few, headcanon psot etc). Maybe I'll even do more of these audio bits, who knows?
Here's my little headcannon design for Ocie and Ven...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Giving them both the miraculous weapon and altering their appearance with some light themed armour.
The tiger weapon is a Bolas, however I like the think the panjas bracelet extends and shapes into claw like blades on the hands and the Fox weapon is a flute/staff!!
(Also fun fact, this ep is almost 1 year old! - at least according to Vens vod posted day)

Over the Garden Wall Fable AU Concepts
Tumblr media
Okay, so - when I was across the pond to see my partner, them and I watched Over the Garden Wall. @the-uninformed-zennial had never seen it, and it's so very much their vibe so obviously we had to. And, as we are both Fable nerds, we ended up talking about potential AU ideas. I'd had two possible concepts for AUs floating in my noggin for a while and we fleshed them out together a bit.
Now, between (hopefully) finishing Three Wishes, and the holidays, and that pesky 30+ page bachelor thesis paper, I won't have time to write them as actual fics anytime soon, so I figured I'd at least put out the concepts somewhere, and Tumblr seemed like a good choice.
For anyone unfamilar with Over the Garden Wall: It's a mini series by Patrick McHale that aired on CartoonNetwork a while ago, focussing on two brothers stuck in the mysterious Unknown trying to get home and experiencing wacky halloween-y hijinks on the way. The Unknown is often interpreted to be a sort of afterlife/limbo, and the series has a lot of themes of that direction, but it's still quite charming and cute and funny (as it is made for kids).
_____________________________________________________________
Concept 1 Icarus and Rae are in the place of Greg and Wirt – they got into some sort of fight in the real world and ended up in a situation that made them enter the Unknown as a limbo between living and dying. In this case, the characters from the Unknown would be remaining a lot more like the ones we know from the show, so the Woodsman is just The Woodsman, the Beast is just The Beast, and so on. I’m not sure who’d be in the place of Beatrice, but there are a few possibilities. If we’re going with the popular interpretation that the Unknown is a form of the afterlife, then it could be someone from canon who has passed already (if we wanna be angsty, it could be Haley maybe? I am not sure if I want her to be though), or alternatively Beatrice could just be a random soul who, like in OtGW Canon, is trying to free their own family.
In this AU, the story would probably progress similar to the one in OtGW – Icarus and Rae trying to get home and through the Unknown, getting into more fights along the way, until Icarus ends up losing faith in being able to get home completely. Rae – much like Greg – would offer himself to the Beast in order to get Icarus home, and Icarus in turn would have to step up and be a responsible older brother and save Rae from turning into an Edelwood.
There’s a lot of similarities between Icarus and Wirt, I feel like, though Wirt’s anxious poetic nature seems more alike Rae. But both Icarus and Wirt have this streak of blaming their younger brothers for stuff that those brothers weren’t necessarily responsible for, and lashing out at them, so I can see Icarus in Wirt’s place rather well. Plus, well, Rae, like Greg, going on a whole arc of “maybe this is actually my fault so I’m gonna go with the Beast to try and fix it” seems fitting for him to me.
Concept 2
Now, the other concept I might actually like more by just a little bit – in this, the people lost in the Unknown would likely be Athena and Jamie, who (due to something other in the real world) are finding themselves in the woods, where they meet the Woodsman – who would be Rae. I can just see Rae being someone to devote themselves to being the Lantern Bearer for the Beast, if it meant to keep the soul of a loved one alive (though in this case it wouldn’t be the child, but likely Aax and Caspian) – plus, the Beast has the whole antler aesthetic going on, so that can overlap neatly with the warden in my opinion. Maybe it’s just cause the Woodsman is such a tragic figure already in OtGW canon, but I think it would be a neat spin to see that character lead the ones lost in the Unknown instead of just sending them on their way, to make the idea that he might be the Beast even worse of a betrayal, which I always thought OtGW was a bit light on. I wish they’d have given that betrayal as much weight as Beatrice’s betrayal. And then, once revealed to the Woodsman that the Lantern holds the Beast’s soul, not anyone else’s, the big fight feels in character for Rae to me, too. Rae’s devotion to the ones he loves is immense, and him fighting the monster that deceived him so – especially to also keep two innocent souls safe in the process – would not only be in character, but also give a quite triumphant turn for him in this AU. Plus, he’d get the happy ending he deserves once he actually slays the Beast and returns home to see that his loved ones are actually there and likely have been all along. The unfortunate side to his AU idea is that most of the characters in the Unknown, like Rae, already being dead and likely for a long time. However, Zenni presented an alternative idea, where the inhabitants of the Unknown aren’t always actually the souls of the deceased, but might also be sort of mirror-verse representations of them. I’m not sure how Athena and Jamie would get to the Unknown then, but it would be an interesting concept to explore, and give more detail to the world – plus, give Athena and Jamie both more of a reason to trust the Woodsman and either for the believed betrayal to hit even worse or for them to not believe it because they know Rae so well in the real world.
_____________________________________________________________
Now, obviously, these are just concepts, not nearly as fleshed out as I would make an actual fanfic - and some stuff might be jumbled as I've not actually written it out before and the whole Putting Things In Your Writing Brain Into Actual Writing thing is difficult as fuck.
Anyways. Those are the two ideas I came up with and have been mulling around my noggin. I don't know if I'll write them, gonna be honest, but - they are concepts alright.
