Home (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- t-rated

After months of separation, Violet and Xaden meet again when they least expect it. Just a short ficlet based on a kissing prompt from Tumblr.

In Control (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated -- D/s dynamics

“Don’t lie to me, Violence,” he murmurs as he tugs a strand of hair back into my loose braid. “This only works if you’re completely honest about how you feel, with me but also with yourself.” Once, Xaden didn't want Violet to take a look into his armoire, and she joked that she already knew all of his clothes. Little did she know about what he really kept hidden there. Further down their relationship, Xaden eventually shows her his collection of sex toys and bondage gear, and Violet is more than just a little intrigued. But... she brave enough to give up control?

“I don’t want to think.” (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated

In the days after the events of Fourth Wing, Xaden suffers an intense kind of longing he never knew before as Violet refuses to talk to him. But as it seems, she can't stay away from him forever, either.

A Soft Reunion (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated

After spending months infiltrating Basgiath, Violet returns to Aretia, to Xaden, only to find that he's been attacked by venin and has been unconscious for days.

Kinktober collection

Not Playing Fair (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated

Xaden uses his shadow powers to tease Violet until neither of them can resist the temptation anymore.

Leather-clad Temptation (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated

One day, Violet Sorrengail will be the death of me. But maybe, if death comes in thigh-high boots then it might not be such a bad thing.

Little Kitten (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated

Sometimes, Violet needs her head to stop thinking and stop going in circles. Luckily, Xaden provided her with just the perfect way to accomplish that.

Part of our "Us" (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Liam/Xaden -- E-rated

“Look, Liam. Obviously, I’m not here as your Wingleader. This is not an order. It’s not even a request. It’s an offer and nothing more. If you’re interested, great. If not, no hard feelings. It’s entirely up to you.” Yeah, right. I scoff. As if he can invite me to a fucking threesome and think it wouldn’t change anything between us. Back when living in Tirvainne, Xaden and Liam were closer than anyone knows or even guesses. Now at Basgiath, Liam isn't sure what to expect when Xaden invites him to a threesome with Violet. It's not that much different from what they used to do--except maybe that Liam's feelings for both of them grew far beyond friendship by now. In which Liam slowly learns to overcome his insecurities--and maybe finds more than just hot sex.

Stranger In The Woods (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet - E-rated

What if Tyrrendor's rebellion was successful? What if Xaden became a Gryphon flier instead of a Dragon rider? What if the bond that tethered Violet and him together still existed? Sometimes, the attraction one feels toward a stranger-an enemy even-can be too strong to resist. Or... is it all just a game?

An Unconventional Solution (AO3)

Violet/Tairn - E-rated

To keep her promise to Liam, Violet has to return to Basgiath, the one place Xaden, marked as a traitor and enemy #1, can't follow. But how can they pull that off without straining the bonds between them and their dragons? Tairn offers a solution--albeit a rather unconventional one...

How To Make It Fit (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Liam/Xaden - E-rated

Continuation of Part of our "Us". Liam followed Xaden's and Violet's invitation to join them for a threesome. He's not so sure Violet can actually take both his and Xaden's cock at the same time, but if it's what she wants... He surely won't go and tell her what she can or can't do.

Intense (AO3)

Xaden/Violet - E-rated - Rape/Non-con elements /cnc

Violet wants to try something new, and even though Xaden is hesitant, he agrees… In the dark of the night, Violet gets kidnapped by a masked stranger, drugged, and brought to an unused storage cellar. Will she be able to hold out until rescue comes or will he break her having his way with her?

Teasing With Serious Consequences (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violer - E-rated

Violet is set on getting Xaden to fuck her, no matter how much she has to tease him before he snaps.

Making Up For Missed Opportunities (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Liam - E-rated

After the night Liam spent with Xaden and Violet, he wonders whether he'd enjoy getting Dominated by Xaden, too. Xaden promises him nothing short of the best orgasm of his life.

An Entertaining Inconvenience (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet - E-rated

When a leadership meeting interrupts Xaden and Violet in the middle of their fun, Violet comes up with a creative idea to make the best of the situation. And the best it is, insane, daring, and just... incredibly hot. Xaden learns a new thing or two. One, a few new tricks he can do with his shadows, and two, how much unresolved tension he can take before he cracks.

Easing Tension And Worries (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Liam - E-rated

After the night they spent together as three and the one Liam spent with Xaden, the sexual tension between Liam and Violet grows stronger with every day. Something has to give, and soon. But will he finally be able to accept that they want him for more than just sex?

Serious Consequences (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Xaden - E-rated

This is the continuation of "Teasing With Serious Consequences" (obviously, haha, I think I'm being funny 😁). After teasing Xaden all day, Violet might push her luck a little too far. Although, given how much she enjoys her 'punishment', that might not be such a bad thing.

The Betrayed God (AO3)

Violet/Xaden -- Violet/Malek T-rated

The legends talk about three brothers and about oneof them betraying them all. But that is only half of the story. The darker half is yet to be told. Setup for a story in which Xaden is Malek trapped in a human body and Violet his lost bride.

Some Things Will Never Change (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Xaden - T-rated

Just a soft morning, years after the events of the books.

My Kingdom. My Throne. My Queen. (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Xaden - M-rated

What if venin didn't exist and the only problems Xaden and Violet had to deal with were normal ones? After winning Tyrrendor's independence, the Assembly forces Xaden to make a difficult choice. But even though the Assembly doesn't want to see it, it's Violet's choice, too.

Nothing to Hide (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Liam/Xaden - T-rated

It's Liam’s birthday. And Violet and Xaden have their own idea of giving him a birthday gift. After all, they have nothing to hide. Or: The triad kissing meme turned into a fic. 😊

For whatever it's worth (AO3) (Tumblr)

Liam/Xaden - E-rated

The morning after the night Liam spent with Xaden and letting him Dominate him. Now, Xaden finally has his mind clear enough to examine his feelings. And he's done holding them back.

What's a Threeps (AO3)

Violet/Liam/Xaden - M-rated

Liam survived Resson and everyone celebrates after graduation. Xaden still has to leave for Samara, though, but at least that gives them the weekends to look forward to. A short written for the rq-discord's challenge prompt.

I don't believe in the Gods anymore (AO3)

Xaden/Violet - T-rated

After another too-short night, Xaden has to leave for another patrol. This is just some andom short because I felt crying, okay?

Made to Order (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet - T-rated

Xaden Riorson owns a bakery specialised on wedding cakes. He's good at his job, always has an eye for details and with a sixth sense for what it is his customers are looking for. But when a woman clearly not happy with the upcoming wedding breeezes into his shop (and his life) he has a hard time staying professional.

Fool me once... - A 'Made to Order' story (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet - M-rated

Six months have passed since 'the wedding'. Violet and Xaden are happy together, have grown into their relationship, and are about to take the next step. Then another formal even brings back bad memories for Violet, and she finally confides into Xaden about what happened all those months ago.

Drunk on You - A 'Made to Order' story (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet - M-rated

Violet and Xaden spend the night after the wedding together, and there's a lot of pent-up longing to work through. -- This story takes place directly after the end of the main story. I recommend reading the precious parts of the series before this one, but I guess it's not strictly neccessary.

I recommend reading the precious parts of the series before this one, but I guess it's not strictly neccessary.

It Was Never Supposed To Be (AO3) (Tumblr)

Imogen/Dain - T-rated

Dain and Imogen are more than just squadmates. Their first months, challenges, the gauntlet, and threshing made a spark develop between them, one neither of them can resist. But when Dain's signet develops in a moment of intimacy and he sees a memory he shouldn't have seen, Imogen is left with only one choice. Kill the man who is slowly becoming more than just a friend to her, or everything is lost. Or… is there an alternative?

* Here to Stay (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet - (so far) t-rated

It's the morning after the wedding. Xaden and Violet have breakfast with Liam and they're all just adorable together. This is part of my 'Riorson Bakery for Wedding Cakes' series. And while this probably could be read on its own, I think it makes more sense if you've read the other parts first.

* Not One Of Them -- Riogail Edition (AO3)

Xaden/Violet -- M-rated

He is a playboy who can have every girl he wants. She is his best friend. ... What could go wrong? _______________________ This is a Riorgail-themed Modern AU, inspired by Taylor Swift's album 'reputation'. Subtitle: Everybody is stupid!

* Kraken Panik (AO3) (Tumblr)

Xaden/Violet -- E-rated -- Monsterfucking

During an outing to the beach with his friends, Xaden encounters a strange woman. She's intriguing, and not just because of her pretty silver-tipped hair. There's just something about her. Something that's... captivating in more ways than he anticipated.

* Virtually Tame Xtra Snuggles (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Tairn/Xaden/Sgaeyl -- E-rated -- Poly Monsterfucking

“No other dragon, the mating bond is too sacred for that. But there’s another option.” Tairn’s tail moves behind me, gently pushing me closer to him again. “Another bond that’s equally sacred.” *** When leadership gives the order that Violet and Xaden only get leave every two months, the strain that puts on their dragons quickly becomes more than they all can bear. Good thing that there’s a backup plan—which might end up as far more than just a temporary arrangement.

* "Please, don't kill him." (AO3) (Tumblr)

Violet/Xaden -- T/M-rated --Angst

Violet and Xaden tried to keep him having turned venin a secret. But after a tragic accident, the truth is out for everyone to see. And Violet's (former?) friends are not sympathetic of her lies. What will they do with Xaden, now that they know what he is?

Plotting Tips for Romantasy 𓆩🖤𓆪

Check out my masterpost for more tips :)

Okay, What IS romantasy?

Generally speaking, romantasy is a commercial subgenere that provides equal weightage to romance and fantasy.

If you can remove one side of the plot and still have a complete story, you may not be fulfilling genre expectations.

To summerize:

Romantic Fantasy = Fantasy + Romantic subplot

Fantasy ROmance = Romance + Fantasy subplot

Romantasy = Romance + Fantasy

Balancing Romance and Fantasy Elements

Combine two or more tropes from each genre.

Romantasy is all about an interesting mix-and-match. Think of your favorite romance/fantasy tropes, then marry them:

Enemies to Lovers discover a Portal to Faerieland in their Contemporary Office setting.

Grumpy and Sunshine accidentally anger a Troupe of vengeful witches while on a Road Trip

a Second Chance Couple is thrown into a Forced Proximity in order to plant hunt, and she must keep her Botanical Magical Powers a super-secret from him.

2. Integrate the two plots into one another.

The best way to juggle with two different plots is to integrate them into one another. For example,

Romance as a prerequisite for using magic: e.g. only when a witch meets her soulmate will se be able to use her wand.

Love between characters threatens the fantasy world. e.g. forbidden love between two magical species has now become a full-blown war.

Romance between non-human characters. The key is to remind your readers of the fantasy elemnts by giving the characters nonhuman conflicts, personalisties and values.

Common Genre Tropes for Romantasy

A female lens: The readership is largely made up of women - they want to read narratives that foreground women and their stories. Where the heroine loves the hero, the love interest should be likable.

Strong heroine who saves the day: Most common in books by women for women this includes fewer damsels in distress and plenty of dames doing the saving.

Enemies-to-lovers: This trope has plenty of scope for inter-species prejudices and love across (literal) battle lines, which is a common must in fantasy.

Friendship and found family: Portraying relationships from a romantics AND fantasy point of view is important. The hero who begins as the cool, aloof longer must eventually become part of a collective even if that's only through their partner.

Elemental magic: Who wouldn't want to be able to hurl fireballs or lightening bolts? It would be useful in a lovers' fight, too.

Popular Romantasy Books 📚

The best way to understand the genre norms is to read it for yourself!

A Court of Throns and Roses (Sarah J. Maas)

Fourth Wing (Rebecca Yarros)

Stardust (Neil Gaiman)

The Paper Magician (Charlie Holmberg)

A Promise of Fire (Amanda Bouchet)

The Paper Magician (Charlie Holmberg)

Meet beautiful characters of one of the most talented artists of my community - Mussy_Zefirchik!

Masterpost

Lycoris / Cory A judge, who knows all laws by heart. Studied law prior to the catastrophe and is quite successful in his field on the Moon. Quartz's deputy. In his work he is cold-blooded and unemotional, he's all after justice and honesty, and exceptionally complicated cases attract him the most. Is good at psychology. He's often found at his desk with some paperwork or discussing with his colleagues. In his free time Lycoris prefers to read or to pursue his hobby - butterflies. This harsh at first glance judge has a passion for studying alates, he also has a small collection at home. His high level allows him to modify his wings from time to time, to mimic his favorite specimens. In communication he's calm, keeps eye contact and often straightforward, but tactful. If you're close enough - Lycoris won't mind smiling and discussing something fleeting and close to his heart.

Yukki One of the olds who survived the disaster. Kind, sometimes cunning and doesn’t mind helping with advice. The character of a ringtail often manifests itself in slight carelessness, but he is accustomed to approach his work meticulously. At the fourth level, he lost his mentor, but survived, taking refuge in the remote corners of the Glass Desert - the place of his birth. Remembering the landscapes of the Desert and the tall glass columns, he decided that he would become a glazier. Using moon sand as a material, Yukki created various glass items, wanting to lighten the mood of those around him with bright colors. For a long time it was just a game, but closer to the ninth level it became a profession. Now he creates glass for window frames and showcases, tiles, stained glass and many other products, helping in architecture. The hobby is not far from the business - Yukki often makes vases and small glass decorations, which he is always ready to give to those who wish. He has a ward named Maple. At first, the newly made mentor had a burning desire to pass on his skills “from hand to hand,” but their desires in choosing a profession diverged. Despite this, he is not angry. On the contrary, he is proud and glad of the independent choice of his ward.

Maple The owner of a small tea house called "Warmth". Despite the rather “noisy” composition, she has a calm and extremely friendly character. She always wanted to create a cozy nook where slimes can relax after a hard day or just have a peaceful conversation with each other. Some slimes say that they simply can't imagine her without a cup of strong brewed tea in her paw. The unusual look of her horns is her own unique fire mutation.

Pumpkin / Pum Since childhood, he was very curious and often hot-tempered. Because of his mentor’s hobby, he liked books and often asked to read them, even if they contained scary stories or abstruse phrases. Gradually this grew into an incredible rush to learn as much as possible. He can be called well-read, but this fact did not bring him much benefit. Pumpkin wanted to try himself in many things, to find something special and pleasant, but found it hard to decide what he really wanted to work with. Now Pum only helps his mentor on the night shift in the tea house, snacking on various sweets and talking with visitors. His relationships with others are very soft. He loves to listen and share rumors, and occasionally scares kids if they make too much noise. He treats Maple like an “auntie” and is a little jealous of her unusual horns.

Jasper Yukki's second ward. Extremely joyful kid, who likes to explore everything around him, especially his master's workshop. Loves to interact with slimes a bit older than him, because they know and can tell more. Already interested in joining community, making friends indiscriminately. You've definitely seen this bun at least once a day! Growing up he didn't receive any Fire or Boom plorts, because Yukki didn't want to repeat his previous mistake, so he let his ward pick his own path. But it seems those worries were in vain, Jasper questions his mentor non-stop about his workshop and glassware in general; frequently helps with little things in the workshop. It's not very hard to guess which plort he wants to get next.

LCB-3: Chapter 13

This was definitely interesting to write, because there was very little to no dialogue in this chapter, with few interactions as well. Thankfully, Jekyll and Hyde's wandering off has ended, and I hope to not have to write another chapter like this haha. Enjoy! Masterpost Chapter 12 <--> Chapter 14

~o0o~

The painter stood to her feet, clutching her chest. Shi IDs work better on lower health… It shouldn’t… hurt this much…

The damage felt like Hyde’s insides had ruptured and exploded. Her heart thumped rapidly and everything ached as if her own muscles were being torn apart from the inside. She felt as if she would hurl anything she ate at any moment up. She glanced up, swallowing her agonizing pain and adjusting her sword. Her knees shook and buckled as she kidnapped the strength to stand, pushing through with all her might. The golden bough was right before her; she needed to find it as soon as possible. It would damage her pride to go back and apologize, anyway.

The voice boomed down the spire, echoing in the shadows. It mattered not to Hyde, but it was nonetheless distracting. There was no clue or indicator of where the voice came from, but it felt like the source was up the large tower. She glared at the spire that fell on top of her. Perhaps she should’ve been more observant of her surroundings instead of charging at the demon syndicate blindly for what he carried. There was nothing she could do about it now.

The painter calculated a proper path up the spire, seeing various pathways and success predictions to climb it quickly. Her speed was unmatched compared to other IDs she had tried; she felt like a cheetah in the Shi ID. She rushed toward the spire with great speed, flying on wings she could not see.

She had to make her way up it quickly. Hyde knew she wouldn’t succumb to receiving help and relying on her allies… they had shown no sign of appreciation or care toward her. She was not going to be saved, nor would she admit she needed to be. The work ahead belonged to her and her alone.

Jekyll’s plan wasn’t so bad. If she wants to stay with these bastards, she can. I’ll separate myself and go back to where I belong… Her memory blurred with the IDs, and the sheer mention of Jekyll being apart from her made her heart ache more than it already was. She clenched her chest, wincing and wrinkling her nose. What the hell is wrong with this version of me?

Hyde launched herself upward, easily passing the obstacle and making her way to the first floor of the spire, glancing around. She saw vague details of a playground. She raised her eyebrow. What the–

The ground started to stir. Parts of the ground crumbled inward, revealing various pebbles that piled up on each other before a monster-like leg stuck out from them.

Nah. Hyde didn’t waste any more time on the floor. Her feet fled the ground and sprinted past the first floor up to the second, not slowing down. My health is too low to face that many monsters…

However, the monsters kept unburying themselves on the floor. Hyde didn’t stop to observe the rest of the floors in her blitzing rush to climb up the tower. To her surprise, there wasn’t any resistance from the enemy; they were too slow and could not keep up with her speed. On each floor, various monsters rose from the soil, scaling in difficulty. However, none of them could catch her as she blazed past them, ascending to the third floor… fourth floor… she ran and dodged each enemy, unwilling to engage in combat with how low her health condition was. It would be rough trying to go back down the spire, but each one of the opponents couldn’t impede her progress going up.

Until they did.

By the time she reached the fourth floor, the enemies became incredibly numerous; various peccatulum blocked her path. The air grew thin as she reached the clouds in the sky, and it slowed her down just enough to force her to engage in combat. It didn’t stop her determination, but she had to clear a path to continue.

I see you have a death wish, Hyde didn’t waste any second. She swung her sword toward the mass of monsters, slicing a few of them perfectly. She blocked a few of their beginning attacks with ease, using her speed to her advantage. She tried to guess what type of peccatulum they were, but she could only recall information about the species from the Limbus Company handbook she read rather than specific details about them. All she knew was she had to kill them if she wanted to continue forward.

They lunged for her, using their sharp legs and big jaws to clamp down around her. They scraped open a few of Hyde’s wounds and scratched her skin deeply. They would leave scars, and Hyde wasn’t too happy when one of them decided to attack her head, making her blood drip over her eyes.

She went first in each turn, shocked at the significant damage she was able to build up and slam onto the group that surrounded her. She knew this ID used poise, but perhaps she didn’t realize how powerful it truly was until she was in desperate need of it. Her skills didn’t let a single attack on her go unnoticed without a counter. The damage she dealt to the monsters was shocking, and after a long, gruesome fight, Hyde managed to walk through a sea of blood and make her pathway through the onslaught.

She avoided the rest of the enemies as she used her evade to flee, sprinting away up to the fifth floor. She counted, realizing the fifth floor was the only thing between her and the top. She smiled with glee. The bough is close, I can feel it so vibrantly.

However, resonating with the golden bough on something so high in the sky wasn’t a good thing. If Hyde were to fall from the floor, it would likely be to her death. There was nothing but jagged, rough cliffs below her. She slowed down, careful not to trip over anything as she finally took the time to observe the floor before the top.

Hyde stopped and stood still as her gaze locked on a large, burning building before her. It was rather block-shaped, and it burned with an endless fire that didn’t seem to immediately consume the building, but it was clear it would be a fire difficult to put out. In the center of the field belonging to said crumbling building stood a silhouette of a four-legged abomination. It sat in the middle of of field full of corpses. Some were burned, and some were fused together in some strange expression of art. There were humans mixed with other humans, monsters, and monsters mixed with monsters… any combination of limbs and faces of various humans and monsters, Hyde saw. It was a mass of distorted flesh, carrying a whiff of agony within its atmosphere.

The large monster in the center moved, cranking its hideous head toward the painter. It spoke in an inhuman voice, but Hyde could pinpoint a subtle, feminine tone to it. “…The mind is fated to distort. The only thing I had; it got twisted. A noble mind lasted a lifetime, plucked. What I'd lost once, lost again. And ultimately rejected all. Thus now we party. Wondrous and everlasting.”

Great, more descriptive messages from monsters who do not understand the true art of simplistic words. Hyde glanced behind the monster into the building, spotting a burning man. He screamed, but it was difficult to see anything else about him. She decided it would be best to place her attention on the monster ahead.

As she took a closer look at the monster, it was clear it and its minions were fused with some of the peccatulum she faced earlier. The monstrosities on the floor were created by the four-legged abomination, at least that’s what the painter could gather. Normally, she would admire the craftsmanship of a 3D object such as the ones before her, but it was so poorly done, it only made her disappointed. All of my students could’ve done a better job than this lousy effort.

Fusions had been a common theme throughout the lobotomy facility. Did every abnormality resonate with someone? She couldn’t answer that question. It was clear there was a clear focus on Jatayu throughout the mission, with many things showing up from his past. What did he have to do with fusions? Had he been forged with something before, or was he going to be? The altar came to mind and left an unsettling taste and feeling in Hyde’s mouth. She glared toward the minions of the monster in the middle. She could pinpoint a few types of peccatulum fused with the humans on the floor, as she had figured out what some of them were weak to on the previous floor. Wrath, Gloom, Envy… She narrowed her eyes at the others, unable to name them. Her current ID only consisted of those three sins, which proved useful on the previous floors.

Peccatulum fused with human bodies might have been a subtype of distortion. However, she put two and two together, realizing the large abomination before her was likely someone who had reached a mental breaking point, distorting. However, nothing in the book mentioned them being fused like a mixed salad. The subtypes of monsters didn’t make too much sense to her, nor did she care. As long as they bleed, they can die. Hyde told herself, crouching slightly. It was difficult to tell if the enemy had spotted her or not.

She swallowed hard, inhaling sharply. The battle was going to be tedious and likely fatal if she didn’t plot correctly. Her gut feeling told her it wouldn’t be as easy as the battles before, and her health was depleting by the second. She knew if she sat down to rest and recover, she would pass out from the loss of blood. Pure adrenaline kept her going, along with a vague sense of dread. She was alone, and not even Jekyll was here to comfort her. She was always better at gauging where their health was and when she needed to rest, but the silence in her own head pained her very soul. My thoughts echo without response… how terrible.

How long would this fight last? Would she even survive to tell the tale? Hyde couldn’t answer those questions, nor could she bring herself to ponder them for long. The enemy moved slightly, and it forced her to consider her actions. The goal was to get the golden bough assumedly at the top at all costs, even if it meant dying in the process.

…I could pull off the excuse of clearing up the path ahead if I do have to explain myself to the rest of the party… Hyde thought, heaving a sigh. Perhaps… perhaps I was wrong to leave them behind. I hope Dante is doing alright…

Dante… the cold manager with no remorse for his companions. He pretends to care, until it really comes down to things, just like Danves… it’s all for show, isn’t it?

A scream from the burning man in the building snapped Hyde back into the present. Was he the source of the loud voice she heard when she first got to the spire’s base? He wasn’t a threat at hand, but the current threat moved closer to her along with its toys. She walked sideways, silent on her feet. Getting around the distortion might be futile, but sneaking around it like she did the previous monster might help. Had it spotted her? Would she be able to leave it behind?

Her questions were answered very quickly. The distortion stood on its every leg, turning its awkward head toward her as she moved. It had – as Hyde could only describe it as – a supernatural sense of direction and senses. It sensed her movement and followed suit, clicking its heels together. As it did so, the fused minion rose like a swarm of zombies and stared at her. There were too many to fight properly if they all came for her at once. Music strung its notes around the field the moment the heel clicking stopped, playing a wrapped, child-like tune.

“A tale of two, intertwined, split apart. Love betrays and harms, hatred burns, and blinds. I cannot have either, and neither is preferred. So instead, we party, forgetting that which tore out our hearts. Last one, standing, a wonderland borne of our distorted hearts.” It spoke poetically with grace in cryptic speech. The distortion danced, swaying haphazardly without rhythm. The fused bodies raised in suits almost as if commanded by the feet slamming onto the floor. Their features became more clear: vermillion beasts of muscle entrapped within indigo wheels, fiery tendrils of crimson ensnared in electric appendages of violet, or blooming flowers of emerald sprouting forth from watery bubbles of cyan organisms… More sinful combinations of abominations untold quickly filled the battlefield, outnumbering Hyde.

Quickly realizing what was happening, Hyde concluded there would be no outrunning nor out-combatting the mass of destruction heading toward her. She would’ve audibly sworn if a tongue rested in her mouth, enabling her to speak. She was boosted at her lower health, perhaps she could put up a good fight before she died. Her heart caught in her throat; she was not excited for the pain she was about to endure that would likely multiply the scratches and aches across her body.

She had cleared quite a bit of path for Dante and the party. She shook her head, wondering why she even thought about helping them, as they did nothing to assist her the entire time she was here, right? Part of her felt bad for leaving them behind, but Hyde disregarded it as the depressed feelings she received from the ID rather than her own conscience and guilt.

Hmm… so be it. I refuse to partake in its gimmick, Hyde snarled at the distortion. I will slaughter anything that comes near. This monster shall face my wrath. Her last bit of sanity left as she smiled, chuckling to herself. Let’s bake this floor in blood.

She stood still near the edge of the floor with the drop below her. Hyde raised her sword as time seemed to have slowed. She watched the enemies with careful eyes. She did not trust the fused peccatulum, and would not play into its gimmick. Her breathing about stopped as she waited, patiently… silence filled the room. They would have to make the first strike before she slaughtered them… or so she hoped.

From Hyde’s perspective, many fused bodies continued to put themselves together and come after her. The hoards of disgusting creatures were beyond numerous, seemingly endless. They continued to arise from the ground where the distortion continued to dance. They approached the imposter like a wave as the bigger monster continued to click its heels.

The first three lunged for her. Hyde raised her sword and sliced the first one, barely dodging the second. She recouped and clashed with the third one trying to rip out a part of her flesh. She pushed it back and sliced off its arm. The first one got back up and sliced a sharp object across her back. She winced and kicked it in the face, blocking the second one as she aimed for its head.

Three more peccatulum joined the party. Hyde could not manage to land an attacking blow as she was forced to defend and clash with all her actions, barely catching each enemy as they came to attack her. More came to the monster’s aid periodically, failing to land a blow as Hyde evaded most of the attacks, but it was difficult to keep up. More kept swarming her each turn. But the time she killed one, sending it flying off the cliff, two more would replace it. It took all her strength to clash with each one, losing count of how many she slayed and how many she was defending against. She desperately tried to get them to hit each other, but their target was clear and they swarmed her, dealing significant damage and tearing out various parts of her, adding it to themselves. Whatever remaining stamina Hyde had left depleted. She cried out in pain, suffering from the new wounds. It was a painful way to die–

”I… I will... not let you harm them...”

A reverberating voice filled the air, a voice rather odd yet familiar. Hyde took a moment to push the mob back, breathing heavily as tears left her eyes. She glanced down to where the voice came from. A large shadow soared upward from the depths of the cliffs and pits below. Hyde was unable to comprehend the figure before it came flying down. It was a large, towering entity with massive, black wings tipped with colorful feathers. The figure loomed over the field before it came crashing down onto it, squashing the wave of peccatulum under its claws. It stood with a large and imposing posture, its back to Hyde and toward the distortion.

J… Jatayu?

”I... I can’t lose another loved one!” Its squack was dripping in pain and agony as it flared its wings. It flared its wings open, smashing another wave of monsters underneath its presence and crushing them to dust—

That was all Hyde saw and heard before the shockwave of the new being’s arrival reached her. She reached out, knocked back as the air escaped her lungs from the impact. She felt her feet touch the air… and didn’t come into contact with the ground again.

Hyde was hurled towards the open air as she spun in circles, immediately falling down the spire to the cliffs thousands of feet below. The sight of the large bird disappeared over the ledge of the cliff, gravity stealing her gaze away from the show.

Hyde spun in circles, gasping for breath as the wind pushed against her face, making it impossible to cry for help. There was no controlling her fall or where she would land, as the ledges were too far away and would sever her arm if she tried to grab onto them at the rate she was descending.

It took falling a few thousand feet for Hyde to finally spread out her body, attempting to slow her fall. She stopped tumbling in circles as she did so. She silently cried in pain as the wind ripped at her flesh wounds, blood seeping out of her rapidly. Observing the ground for a soft place to land was useless; there was nothing that would break her fall and let her survive. This isn’t how I end… not this pathetically… Hyde growled at herself, almost disgusted with her failure to stay on the platform.

She closed her eyes, turning her body to face the sky and the bright sun that gripped her skin and burned it. Her thoughts ran back to the bird that had attempted to save her. His voice… it sounded like Jatayu. Surely, that couldn’t be him… Her denial didn’t resonate with her gut. She started to tumble in the air again. It… That was him… what happened to him?

Her eyes widened in horror. Did he go to the altar? What did the party do to him?

She passed the third floor, descending quickly toward the bottom. Her fall picked up pace as the wind rushed past her. Faster and faster she tumbled, about to meet her end at the bottom. Many questions polluted her mind as she plummeted to her death, more platforms and ledges becoming visible to her while she looked at the spire. The floor she was on disappeared above the clouds amongst the stretching tower. Hyde closed her eyes, waiting to meet her end and the hands of hell once more.

Two bright flashes of red distracted her. Hyde opened her eyes to see the bright objects swooping from the ledge she fell from. They fell after her, stretching their hands as they sped like missiles toward her. Their pursuit of Hyde drowned out all combat noises. They barely made visible the silhouette of a bird taking off from the ledge and ascending higher into the clouds. Its shadow forced the red objects to shimmer, revealing their figures to be feathers: bright feathers.

…What? Hyde tumbled further, reaching her hand out toward them. She passed the second floor of the spire, approaching the ground as it threatened to catch her first. She faced north, glancing at the feathers darting in her direction. It would be too late to break her fall completely, but she had to try.

Her fate was going to hurt, and she wasn’t sure if Dante would bring her back after she left the party, nor did she consider how long she’d have to spend in hell. Her pain would hurt Dante so much if he tried…

Yet, despite her shortcomings, two feathers desperately tried to reach her, as if they were hands of kindness extending toward her. Hyde gripped the wounds on her arms, giving a soft smile as she still outstretched one of her hands towards the feathers. They were getting closer, but so was the floor.

She faced the bright sky, not willing to meet or know when her end would come. She saw the sun, glistening in its bright beauty and kindness radiating from its radiant light. That soft emotion eased Hyde’s heart. Perhaps… it was better to die this way.

Hyde reached out one more time to the feathers, and she grasped them with the tip of her fingers. They had successfully reached her as if they were guided by the will of another. Suddenly, her arms were wrapped up in their soft touch, pulling her up with extreme force that almost made Hyde hurl on the spot. They shifted her upright, reducing her fall as her legs dangled downwards, aided by her slowing her fall via spreading herself out earlier.

The ground greeted Hyde mercilessly. Her landing wasn’t perfect; she tumbled and made a loud thud as she hit the ground with her feet; she was convinced she broke quite a few bones in her foot as she did so. She rolled across the ground, gasping in pain as the feathers surrounded her body, easing her fall like a soft cushion.

Everything in her body was throbbing for help. Hyde let out a painful cry of agony as she sat up, gripping her feet. A few of the bones were sticking out of her shoe, and it forced tears down her eyes. She could not describe the pain she was in…

But she had survived the fall.

The two large and downy feathers wrapped around her arms and body gently pulled her up, nudging her to try and stand. Hyde coughed, blood spilling from her lips as she adjusted her ponytail, trying to oblige. It took great effort to stand, but the feathers acted like soft bandages, easing the pain ever so slightly. They glowed with a warm, comforting, and kind light, as they had broken Hyde’s fall. They exemplified a care Hyde was never shown, that Hyde could not comprehend. Their aura felt similar to Jatayu’s, which convinced Hyde they were from him… or whatever monster he had become.

Hyde stumbled to the ground, everything in her body aching. Blood seeped from her wounds and feet. The feathers couldn’t cover each one, and her vision slowly became blurred. She ran her weak fingers through the feathers, tears streaming from her eyes. Guilt claimed her soul. I… I had made sure Jatayu disliked me and knew his place… yet he sent these… and saved my life. She didn’t understand, nor could she. Why?

The feathers let out a type of comfort she never felt before. She didn’t want it to end. She buried her face into one of the feathers that wrapped itself loosely around her chest. She sobbed into it, partly from external pain, partly from internal pain. She questioned over and over the motive of the feathers and why they decided to help her… why Jatayu decided to help her as if she was a close companion, rather than a harsh coworker who was bent on him learning the harsh realities of life.

Why have you shown kindness to me? I do not deserve it… I never wanted to deserve kindness and yet here you are… here in the presence of your feathers…

Her fingers told her foggy brain that the feathers were larger than she had thought, and they were incredibly thick. Each of them was bigger than her arms if she stretched them out. The giant vulture had many feathers like them on the coat of his wings, glimmering all sorts of colors. She couldn’t be one hundred percent sure that the vulture was Jatayu, but she knew the feathers had saved her life. They radiated a soft warmth as if Hyde was basking in a spring sun’s heat.

It was only because of their glow that was Hyde able to see a few of her surroundings. The particular cliff she had fallen down appeared to be more like a hole. Hyde grunted in pain as she sat up, looking around. It was difficult to process any information as she became overwhelmed with various pain stimulations, blurring her vision and mind. However, it was dark like a pit around her despite the red beacon of light coming from the feathers. There was an aura that Hyde was not alone in this pit. Call it a golden bough resonating or anything else, but Hyde felt as if someone had been here before, stuck in this pit, holding onto something that glowed and gave them hope amid the darkness. Something akin to a memory, or a vision, perhaps… Hyde couldn’t tell what it was. However, she had a deep, reassuring feeling that someone had been helped out of this situation before; perhaps it was the vulture, Jatayu, as the feathers lent their suggestion to, that was once here and helped out.

It seemed as if the feathers were returning the favor, gently tugging on Hyde’s arms, begging for her to come and follow them, urging her to stand despite her pain and go back into the light. Please come, Hyde felt they were saying something like that. Stand, come to the light, we got you.

Hyde couldn’t see any light, but she had no other choice than to trust the feathers at hand. …Alright, I’ll try. I… I need to– a-a– She winced at the thought, her pride taking a serious blow. Apologize to Jatayu… She grimaced at the word, gasping in pain as she stood to her feet, crunching the bones that were sticking out of her shoes.

Blood seeped from her feet as the feathers assisted her, guiding her down a dark tunnel that winded back and forth. She adjusted her sword on her back and held onto the feathers as if her life depended on it. She was in no condition to fight, and could likely die if someone blew a gust of wind on her wrong. She limped slowly in the direction of the feathers as they tugged gently on her arms, guiding her. They worked to save her life, the least she could do was follow them and offer an apology to their owner.

Some of the bleeding had stopped on her wounds, making it slightly easier to see and stumble after the feathers with each step. She had to lift herself, but the feathers assisted in any way they could as if they were semi-sentient. It felt as if they were more than just feathers, which further convinced Hyde Jatayu had something to do with them. He is someone who is associated with feathers in his egos, a lot…

The sun peeked through the dark tunnel, letting Hyde register that she had come back to the base of the spire, the trail’s beginning. Hyde’s bones came into contact with the dirt, and she was never thankful enough to be in so much pain in a place where she could be found. By the time she stepped onto the trail, the feathers stopped tugging.

Her vision began to blur rapidly without the feathers keeping her sanity intact. She was exhausted and wounded beyond help’s extent; it was a miracle she had lasted this long. The pain multiplied in every corner of her body, providing a strong, burning, and ripping sensation in every limb. She barely moved her head, spotting the familiar flames of her manager at the tip of the stairs. Hyde crumbled immediately onto the floor, the feathers being the only thing that broke her fall as they wrapped around her. Dante? Didn’t… he travel in… the back… of… the… party…? She curled up and gasped in pain, her final tears leaving her eyes as they became dry and soulless. She felt a stream of blood come from her head and feet, and she was too beat and exhausted to get up. Darkness claimed her mind, and the last thing she saw was the manager… the one she had pushed away, the one she had forsakened… rushing towards her.

just saw ur masterpost....please please yap about the plane crash AU omg???

I would LOVE to! I am SO glad you asked.

I don't know if you've ever seen the TV show Lost, but it's a plane crash AU inspired by that type of plane crash (minus the gigantic religious allegory that Lost comes with, and with a handful of other pretty major changes to make it more fourth wing-ified). It's almost definitely the next long fic I'll be posting once nights is done in two-ish weeks, but I'd like to actually write this one ahead of time, or at least get a few chapters ahead of myself so I can post on a schedule. it just seems like having a day every week I post would be fun for everyone, if I can make it stress-free.

Also, it's called "Train wreck!" because I think that's funny. Since I've been given permission to yap, I want to add that I literally took notes during the plane rides I was on this summer to make the actual plane crash as realistic as possible, which was honestly surprisingly relaxing?

I do have chapter one done already, so here's a fun little snippet from that!

Violet Sorrengail hates planes. It’s really a natural hatred: a plane crash took her brother and her father, and so, she’s never trusted the airplane since. She avoids them when she can. She’ll make her trip by car, or bus, or train, or even boat before boarding a plane of her own free will.

Everyone important in her life knows this about her. It isn’t a secret, and so, Violet never expected her best friend’s father to force her onto a plane. She expected Colonel Aetos to love her more than that, but evidently, he doesn’t. No, the only thing Colonel Aetos loves is his secrets, and he’s willing to bring Violet to the brink of insanity in order to keep them.

And another, because I can't resist:

He tries to hold her hand, but she’s clinging to the armrest with such strength, he can’t manage it. His hands are sweaty, which is almost as ridiculous as the way he murmurs, “It’ll be alright, Vi.” His voice is so low, she struggles to hear him. It would have been better if she hadn’t heard him, actually.

It won’t be alright. For him, maybe, it might be, but not for Violet.

“No, it won’t,” Colonel Aetos replies. He sounds resigned about it, impartial either way. “Don’t give her false hope, Dain.”

“Dad!” He leans across Violet’s body to hiss, “She’s worried about a plane crash.”

“Move,” Violet snarls, bucking one of her thighs up into Dain’s chest. It doesn’t do much damage, but he still recoils, realigning himself in his seat, where he belongs.

#helena's asks!#fourth wing fanfic #train wreck!#i forgot how good this little chapter was until i re read it to find those blurbs #the author should write more...

In-depth summaries, tags & FAQ below the cut ⤸

Fics:

Fear & Flame

Xaden Riorson/Original Female Character ✧ 266k words, complete

Remi Sorrengail is the antithesis of her sister. Snarky, depressed and quick to anger, she’s a realist. She’s well aware she probably won’t be making it out of the Riders Quadrant alive and she’s made peace with that. There’s just one thing she’d like to do there before she goes…climb Xaden Riorson like a tree.

Dangerous Devotion

Xaden's POV ✧ 44k words, complete ✧ (Note: this contains new content and is not just the same scenes from Fear & Flame, rehashed)

Xaden Riorson spends a year trying not to fall in love with Remi Sorrengail—and fails miserably.

Truth & Talon

Sequel to Fear & Flame ✧ 374k words, complete

Remi Sorrengail’s life has been completely upended. The monsters that gave her nightmares as a child are real, her dead brother has been secretly alive this entire time and never once contacted her, and her partner has been lying about all of it. Oh and he’s also royalty. Throw in a bunch of assassins, a psychotic vice-commandant and a war on the horizon, and she truly has her work cut out for her—and that’s not even taking into account matters of the heart.

Ficlets:

Remi at 14; a Fear & Flame coda

1k words, complete

For a long minute, my heart thunders, but then I think at least it would have been over. Over. I don’t know if I believe in Malek, but if the world holds any kindness and the gods are real, I’d hope they would reunite me with Brennan in the afterlife.

Infantry Xaden & Remi AU

1.5k words, complete for now—potential series

I am not ashamed to admit that smirk does something to me. My lips part in surprise. “You…” I suppose there’s not much to say—of course he knows who I am. Everyone in Navarre probably knows by now about the Sorrengail twins and how they both bonded two dragons. “Who are you?” I ask instead, my brow furrowing. He steps closer, a small smile playing on his lips, like I should already know the answer. “Xaden Riorson.” He murmurs.

intertwining souls (we were never strangers) - part one & part two

2.7k & 4k words, respectively—complete for now

“I’m sorry.” I whisper, climbing to my feet. “I know this isn’t—that you don’t know me.” I choke out. “But I don’t know what happened and I can’t feel my dragon and I’m scared, Xade.” Slowly, he climbs to his feet and takes a step toward me, closing the gap again. A hand reaches out to brush my hair behind my ear and a wet chuckle escapes me. I guess some things really don’t change. “Where—when are you from?” He finally asks, his eyes glued to my face.

Professor Riorson (Remi's Version)

7.5k words, complete

"Remi for once can you please—" "Be an attentive student?" I widen my eyes. "Pay attention in class?" I just my lower lip out. "Of course!" My lips curve up. "I'm so excited to have a new teacher, Vi."

Ennead Masterpost!

Welcome post

For my non-Ennead projects, check here (future link).

What is the Ennead?

“Ennead” is the universe of my big historical-fantasy, spec-evo writing project. This include my novel series (the Dewdrops series) as well as tons of short stories and much of the content on this blog.

THE PLANETS:

“Ennead” refers to the Nine Planets. In cyclic order, these are their common names as of TA2605:

Sassan: a dry planet of song and horses. Home to imeru and behemoths grazing the wide open plains. In alliance with her twin, Maurya.

Maurya: a fertile moon-world of knowledge and feather-scaled pakshina, where Rajan reign, rania lumber, raptors hunt, and giant mammoths carve bountiful forests. In alliance with Sassan.

Xia: the eldest planet of wrath and order. Home to wooly mammoths, forestwalker kites, and, perhaps, mankind itself. She mourns her single dead moon.

Paradiso: the ocean planet of bounty and wind. Home to giant whales and terrifying helmet-heads. Her moonless skies let the navigating stars shine brightest.

Cahok: the heart of the Nine, planet of trade and warmth. Home to glorious tatanka and loving pouch-mammals. Capital of the Nine-Spanning Panenneadic League of Peace.

Forlan: planet of stability and extremities. Home to llamas, amaru, and massive Hatun. Independent.

Anahuac: a planet of water and amphibians. Her twin Benevolence has similar flora and fauna to the north, but since the beginning of the Thessidian age has gradually grown more arid. Current leader of the Triple Alliance with Be and Eu.

Benevolence: a planet of life and turtles. Moon of Anahuac. Part of the Triple Alliance.

Eutopos: a moonless world of guile and gorgons, home to sailbacks, tarands, and tuskies. Part of the Triple Alliance.

THE STORIES:

Below are some stories set in the Ennead. All titles and such are of course pending :)!!

The Dewdrops Duologies (or just one Tetralogy?): set in TA2605, a two-part novel series followed by another two-part novel series.

Status: The first two novels, “To You I Gave Wings” (TYIGW) followed by “And You Will Be a Song” (YWBaS) are in their fourth and third drafts respectively. With any luck they should be edited and submitted to publishers soon :)

Status: the following two are planned/plotted.

Tags include: #Dewdrops , #Kai , #Tharra , and others.

Enneadic Appositions: a collection of twelve short stories set in the Ennead circa TA2500-2600. Can be read as a prequel to Dewdrops, a midquel in-between TYIGW and YWBaS, or a sequel after YWBaS. Each order will change how you view and learn about the characters!

Status: most stories are in their second or third drafts. Two are plotted but yet unwritten.

Tags include: #Appositions

Enneadic Epentheses: a sequel collection of twelve more short stories following on characters and themes from the appositions and two Dewdrops Duologies. Status: planned and some plotted.

Enneadic Ellisions: a threequel collection of more short stories bridging the events between the second Dewdrops duology and Visitors. Status: planned.

Visitors: a planned novel project following the two duologies and followed by the (Mystery Project). Status: planned, but not plotted.

(Mystery project wooo): mystery project whose contents would be big spoilers. Status: plotted and planned, some isolated scenes preemptively written.

That’s pretty much everything for now! For non-Ennead projects, click here (future link).

Heya!! This is kinda just a masterpost of info for myself :)

This is my masterpost for the Playground! The Playground is a space station run, managed, and inhabited by characters that I claim on Mudae. It's run by a council of characters ranging from Garrosh Hellscream to Tessa James Elliot to Nami. If you decide to read about my silly little space station, I hope you enjoy!

The Playground

First Ring

- Contains only the residential halls: Res. Halls 1-4, each with 200 rooms housing two residents apiece, for a total of 2000 citizens, excluding the quarters that the Councilmembers stay in

- Halls 1A-1D connect each Res. Hall to the Second Ring. Hall 1A is attached to Res. Hall 1, Hall 1B to Res. Hall 2, etc.

Second Ring

- Cafeteria, in which meals are made-to-order, rather than having predetermined daily options.

- Halls 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B

- Gymnasium, housing equipment suitable for all manner of workout exercises to be performed by anyone.

- Halls 1C, 1D, 2C

Third Ring

- Library, containing hundreds of thousands of documents ranging from scrolls to books to hard drives. All are sorted in order of Era > Genre > Author's Last Initial > Book Title.

- Hall 2A

- Classrooms, which include two for each academic subject per grade and one for each elective per grade up until higher education, where the classes split into field-specific courses rather than generalised subjects.

- Recreational Facilities, ranging from an area with an arcade and more modern video game systems to an area devoted to sports, with enough space to house two games of each sport.

- Arcade, housing all public-use video game or general entertainment consoles such as Pinball.

- The Fields, which houses all of the sports-dedicated facilities, as well as an actual open field for picnicking and general frolicking.

- Tabletop Arena, facilities to house all of the tabletop games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Jenga, and Monopoly.

- Halls 2B, 3A, R1

- Bathhouse, which has 200 publicly available, but completely private showers for post-workout (or general) use if you don't wish to go back to your room or have other places to be on the other Rings. Must bring your own soaps.

- Halls 2C, 3B, R2

Fourth Ring

- Security wing, which oversees all internal safety affairs

- Local Aerospace Security, handling the entrance and exit of visitors and citizens of the Playground.

- Internal Security, the part of the department that oversees the safety and well-being of the Playground and its denizens.The largest portion of the department.

- Prison Security, which ensures that the Column of Solitude performs as it should.

- The general guards are the standard force inside the Column, ensuring the peace is kept within its walls.

- The Columnar Sentinels are the true forces of reckoning within the confines of the Column. They are some of the fiercest battle-masters in the Playground, often tertiary to any given Councilmember.

- Docking Bay, which contains all 50 public docks, as well as all 25 private docks, which are reserved for the Playground Councilmembers, as well as foreign leaders.

- Halls 3A, 4A

- Hall P1, which leads to the Column of Solitude (more commonly known as simply The Column) - Hospital wing, making sure all of the people on board the Playground are in good health. - Pharmacy, where all OTC and prescription drugs are handled with the utmost care.

- Hall 3B, 4B

Fifth Ring

- Combat Training Facilities, which are open only to those in the Playground that are among the Security Department or the Council.

- Halls 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B

- Councilmembers' Quarters, which all have portal access to their private docks in the Docking Bay.

Sixth Ring

- Less of a ring and more of a gigantic room, the Sixth Ring is dedicated entirely to being the discussion-room of the Council. The room is designed largely like a court of law, having space at the Council's table for the members themselves, as well as a jury. When necessary, these tables can be retracted into the floors to allow for large-scale holograms for war meetings or other displays.

- Halls 5A, 5B, P2

Column of Solitude

The Column got its name due to the fact that the only ways out are through the most powerful people in the entire Playground. Inside, it is split into 10 layers, with the most dangerous prisoners being held on the bottom layer, closest to the Council. The Tenth Layer prisoners are kept in environments designed to weaken their abilities as much as possible. Each layer above this has gradually less dangerous criminals with the last prisoners being held on the Third Layer serving light sentences for relatively minor offenses. The First and Second Layers are collectively referred to as the Rehabilitation Layers (or just Rehab), and are for those requiring services such as general therapy or rehabilitation for substance abuse.

- Rehabilitation Layers

- Halls R1, R2

- Prison Layers

- Halls P1, P2

Other Notes

- Though the rings and the Column rotate independently of each other, the entrances to the halls are kept fixed to the same spot in each Ring via portals. This means that, though none of the sections of the Playground are directly attached, each is always accessible, regardless of how the halls or rings might be oriented. Each section is kept from drifting away from its placement in the collection of parts via magic, so that none of the parts ever become lost despite being detached from one another.

- The Playground is a mobile space station despite not having any thrusters. This is because the FTL Navigator uses its portals to send the station wherever it needs to go.

- The Playground operates like a social welfare state. Things like housing, food, water, and healthcare are free for the residents of the Playground, while non-essentials such as private book collections, video game collections, action figures, toys, and stuffed animals cost money and are priced according to demand. There are enough jobs for around 1500 Players to be making money at once, though these are rarely all filled at the same time.

- Many of the jobs on the Playground obviously provide different salaries than the others. For instance, essential jobs like any in the kitchen or as plumbers will pay higher than those that are less necessary for the function of the station, such as jobs revolving around selling things to the Players. Security, Food Staff, and Educator positions pay the most, but also have intensive screenings before and during a Player's employment. This is to ensure that no abuse of power comes into play. Educators and Food Staff are evaluated every two months by Security. Each low-ranking member of Security is evaluated monthly by a superior officer from a different squad, who is selected randomly. That officer would also be evaluated in the same way, up until you get to the Department Heads overseeing the running of all departments. The Department Heads are evaluated every two weeks by the Councilors directly, who are evaluated every two weeks by surveys filled out by the Players. The Councillors are able to ignore the advice, suggestions, and complaints that arise from this survey, but rarely do thanks to the fact that High Playground Law states that the Players are allowed to remove the current Councilors by force, and by the fact that this has been successful every time it has happened in the past.

- The positions on the Council are: The Playground Overseer (Myself), Second in Command (Luffy), Councilperson of Defense (Garrosh Hellscream), Councilperson of Botany (Nanachi), Councilperson of Engineering (Tessa Elliot), Councilperson of Technology (Judy Alvarez), Councilperson of Medicine (Chopper), Councilperson of the Treasury (Nami), Councilperson of Education (Teacher (from Player)), and Councilperson of Magic (Frieren) - The roles of each Council member are: - Defense - Handles the general security of the Playground. This means that the Heads of Aerospace and Internal Security report directly to this Councilperson. - Botany - Oversees the agricultural and culinary divisions of the Playground, helping to ensure that the food is always edible and the water always potable. - Engineering - Along with the rest of the department, the Councilperson of Engineering makes sure that the power remains stable on the station. This seat on the Council must also ensure that the Playground is livable, meaning that there are no lapses in the integrity of the outer hull, that there are no exposed wires on board that aren’t meant to be so, etc., which is a responsibility that is often aided by the Magic Department. - Technology - Holds a similar position to the Engineering department, although this department specifically handles the electronics. This means making sure there are no cyberattacks (worked in tandem with the Defense department), keeping Wi-Fi running, performing regular diagnostics of the Playground’s various functions and facilities, and other such tasks. - Medicine - Handles the medical side of the Playground, ensuring that the doctors and nurses are performing the best that they can (and are doing well themselves, of course), as well as keeping the pharmacy running smoothly.

- Education - Handles all of the educational facilities to make sure that they perform in a meaningful and satisfactory way. Ensures the respectful treatment of all faculty, staff, students, and equipment. - Magic - Covers the safe and appropriate use of magic, which often overlaps with other departments such as botany and defense. This means doing things like ensuring no one is using scrying or otherwise offensive spells without express written permission from the department and other involved parties.

- The Treasury - Oversees the monetary portion of the Playground, helping the Overseer stay within the short- and long-term budgets as exchanges are made. Also keeps internal money flow moving smoothly and not accruing too high or low in any given area.

- The Playground is aligned into the shape of a cone, with the Column resting at its centre. Each layer of the Column lines up with a ring or the space between two rings (the First Layer lines with the First Ring, while the Second Layer lines with Halls 1A-1D, etc.). The Playground as a whole always rests along the midpoint between the planets in a given solar system. For instance, in the Sol System, it would rest in between Saturn and Uranus, on the side of Saturn. If it would be in the orbital path of a planet, it gets sent to the next nearest safe location.
