ronodin enjoyers, this snippet is for you. and also for @fablehavenfanfest’s villain month of september

cottg spoilers!

Update: full oneshot here

Cognitive Dissonance (snippet)

The healthy dose of cognitive dissonance that held Ronodin’s reality together didn’t seem all that bad until it was violently ripped to shreds in front of him.

Ronodin didn't have anyone to fault for that, either. He had called Kendra here himself.

Having the handmaiden under his beck and call had seemed like a positive to usurping the Fairy Queen. Now, Ronodin was close to putting it in his cons list. Pretty hard to maintain his whole hero thing when one of his victims was yelling at him all the time. Of course, that didn’t mean that he didn’t maintain it—just that it was hard.

“Kendra!” He barked.

“What? You called me here, away from my family. You get to listen.”

Now, normally he would just throw her in the dungeon. Three problems.

The Fairy Kingdom didn't have a dungeon. The only rooms were residential—it wasn't like he could throw her in a castle bedroom and lock the door.

The second problem hinged on the magic he was using to keep Kendra here. He was able to call the handmaiden but the radius in which the magic kept her here was quite small. And he was the node.

Three: imprisoning the handmaiden wouldn't go over too well with the populace if they found out. Not that he cared particularly, of course.

“I will gag you.” His pen broke under his teeth and the ink spilled down his chin.

“Looks like you need a napkin.”

“You are infuriating. Will you let me explain my cause?”

“Your cause was tainted the second you kidnapped my brother, murdered people I love, imprisoned people I love, and imprisoned me with you.”

“It’s starting to feel like I’m the one stuck with you.” He grabbed a napkin from the fairy queen’s desk and wiped his face. Well, from his desk, now. It’s funny how the writing utensils the former Fairy Queen had used to sign his banishment were the same ones sitting in his desk’s pen cup. “The ends justify the means.”

“No, they do not.”

“What, did you expect me to usher in a revolution with hugs and kisses?”

“A little less bloodshed.”

“It has been little!” Poison dripped off his words. He shifted as he tried to contain himself. Kendra tested his nerves. “It is nothing compared to the savagery inflicted between you humans.”

“A war? Are you talking about a war? No one wants them for a reason. And you are initiating one.”

“It’s been boiling for a while.”

“You didn’t need to boil it over! You could’ve at least waited until I was dead.”

“We could speed that death up if you’d like.”

“Why’d you call me here if you were just going to threaten me?” Kendra stopped pacing.

Ronodin clenched his jaw. He would not deliver a convenient little monologue. How she’d ever think he’d lay his reasons out plainly was beyond him. “I enjoy your company.”

“Is that why you kidnapped my brother, too?”

Ronodin didn’t have an easy temper. He didn’t. But, god, did hours of this do something to his demeanor. “I have work to do.”

“I bet.”

He stood from his seat. “Guards!”

Kendra’s lips twitched and he realized his mistake.

“Never mind!” Ronodin crossed to the door and yelled through the wood. “Do not come in!”

Forgot about the whole handmaiden commanding fairies things. Of course, his order was supposed to be supreme over hers—but even allowing her the option to try was too much.

“How do I un-handmaiden you?”

“Not allowed.”

Remember the “homework“ Ronodin gave Seth? Think he drew lizards in the margins of that too??

It’s @fablehavenfanfest’s Seth month! For this small drabble, I explored how Seth would feel after Kendra left for college.

The attic’s an icebox.

It’s unfathomably empty, but at the same time, Seth feels like the walls are pushing on his rib cage and squeezing his lungs.

The doll house still sits in the corner along with the telescope.

Kendra’s dresser is gone. Her favorite blanket and the framed photo of the two siblings is missing.

Seth can picture the room how it used to be, though.

The blanket would be thrown across the bed, the journal would be sitting open, and Kendra would laugh as he’d tease her about reading Patton’s marriage entry again.

He’d let their bicker die down and the thoughts of the day would come back. His breath would catch, and Kendra would wait for him to spill.

He would explain how today was his first school day without her. He’d explain how the quiet of the car ride and the silent attic keeps reminding him of her absence. Maybe he’d even let slip that family dinners are suffocating without her.

Every second of his life today was a painful reminder that he was alone—from the moment he woke up without hearing her in the bathroom to when he drove home from school alone.

Kendra would hug him. He knows she would. She’d squeeze the uncertainty out, his tears would fall, and she’d pull back. “I’m not abandoning you. I love you.”

But none of that could happen because she’s hours away at NYU, and he’s alone at home.

He’s alone in the suffocating attic only filled by his fears and worries. His thoughts are here too—tied up in a little bundle, weighing on his heart, because he didn’t have Kendra to talk to today.

He didn’t have anyone to talk to.

He’s so alone.

Even though she’s really only a phone call away, he can’t unload any of his worries onto her—she’s at college having fun. What an awful brother he’d be if he ruined that; all the guilt he would place on her shoulders with his heartfelt confession.

A knock shook the door. “Seth? Dinner’s ready.”

He opens his mouth to answer but is stopped by the tears in his throat. He didn’t even realize he had been crying. He swallows and tries again. “Give me a second.”

Give me a second to brush this puffy- eyed evidence away and walk down to the dining room with its one empty seat.

“Kendra.” Seth lets out a breath. “I wish you were here.”

to give kudos!

my piece for @fablehavenfanfest’s July month: Bracken!

monotony: bracken’s time in the tunnels

mini character study of prison era bracken; 1129 words

Bracken hadn’t known much about socialization during his early life. The small talk, the social etiquette. Unicorns, in general, were averse to such things.

After so many centuries in the dungeon, however, he knew how to make conversation. Comforting words came out when someone was hurting. He wasn’t the best by any means, but he tried.

It meant so much that he tried.

When Bracken had given up his third horn, he had known on some level he wouldn’t fit completely with his people—the unicorns—anymore. He had made peace with that. It was his sacrifice, and he would be fine. He would.

Was he still fine? Being imprisoned had taken a toll on him; his people no longer surrounded him. Was he even a unicorn anymore?

for @fablehavenfanfest’s warren month!

prompt

injury - protector - family - exploration

VIP Lounge

Seth gets bored in an airport and Warren has to dig Seth out of the hole he dug for himself.

The first time the Knights of Dawn had enlisted Warren as a babysitter was horrendous. This second time around was even worse. He could feel his sanity fraying.

“I spoke to the attendant. He said our flight has been delayed.” Warren took a seat across from the siblings. The windows of their seating section offered a view of the tarmac. Planes skidded to a stop and others took off to the skies as an insult to birds.

“Again?” Seth put down his phone. He pouted as if Warren could fix the situation once swayed.

Kendra leaned over her laptop. “How long?”

“He didn’t know.”

Seth groaned and slid down his seat. “I’m going to die.”
