Was it peaceful when she asked somebody else for his number after he intentionally gave her the wrong one? Was it peaceful when she interrupted his day of work to ask him to help her move some furniture? Was it peaceful the way she tried to joke about his brother’s suicide when he clearly hasn’t grieved properly? Was it peaceful when she brought him to a party full of people from high school when they are grown ass adults and she knows he didn’t have friends like that in high school? Was it peaceful when she left her best friend grieving a break up for a man? Was it peaceful when she begged the chef to cook for her? Was it peaceful when he kicked everybody out who was working towards his dream just so he could be alone with her? Was it peaceful when he had a panic attack after sleeping with her? Was it peaceful when she stormed the back of the kitchen after friends and family when he was having a meltdown? Was it peaceful when she made the entire meltdown about herself? Was it peaceful for her to be talking shit about him to anybody that would listen? Was it peaceful for her to not ask is he even ok? Was it peaceful for her favorite day to be Monday? Was it peaceful? Was it?
Or is she just speaking in a low tone of voice in an almost dream like quality? Is her existence to him only peaceful in his mind? Don’t let soft voices and pretty faces fool you. They are full of fallacies. Like sirens.
Thank you to my pookie @sydneys-adamu for letting me scream everytime I get annoyed 🥴

I think a lot of the meta about Orym forgets that Orym isn't just an adventurer, he is a former bodyguard. His self worth is tied up in how well he can protect people and especially his loved ones. Thats why he sold his future to a hag, because its all he had left to give in order to be able to help.
Thats also why he seems so angry after FCG's death.
Otohan has killed his husband and father. Then him. Then he is brought back and told she also killed Fearne and Laudna. She killed Eshteross. She almost kills Keyleth. Now FCG has to sacrifice himself to save them all and kill Otohan and Orym was knocked out for it.
His job is to protect people and even with the added power from Nana Morri, it's still not enough. 6 years later and his loved ones are still dying and he can do nothing but watch.

Amazing Burglar or Awful Security?
I was thinking about the security on the Edge and how genuinely awful it is at keeping a certain Berserker chief away. It's honestly hilarious to me because Dagur just shows up out of the blue without even trying to hide. In "Family on the Edge," he had no idea the other Riders hadn't been told about him, so there was no sneaking involved. He just strolled on in (with a ship I'm assuming since he was sans dragon at the time) and didn't get noticed until Hiccup went back home. The guy even proceeded to stay the night without any of the Night Terrors being like, "Who the heck is this dude?" and causing a scene. He shows up easily for "Gold Rush" too and makes his presence known before they see him. Then in "Searching for Oswald...and Chicken," he shows up and gets through whatever security Astrid said she set up. So...I guess it's just bad. Or he's just that good where he can consistently get on the Edge. Heck, why limit it to the Edge? He was sneaking onto Berk too when he put the Dragon Root in the arena and around Outcast island when he wanted to get the Skrill back. I'm realizing an underappreciated skill of Dagur's is stealth. He'll just be behind you (might be right now) and you won't know unless he wants you to. It's as scary as it is impressive.

Flying Low
A magical AU where Law is a raven shapeshifter, but has had his wings torn off, so he is always using a cane to balance himself and he lives in seclusion in the forest. He absolutely doesn't trust, well, anyone. Whether humans or other shapeshifters or any other race, he doesn't approach anyone and does everything he can to not let them approach his home either.
But that changes when one day a guy just falls from the sky. It literally falls from the sky. Right in the middle of Law's herb garden and although he really wants to get rid of this invader, he can't get rid of his curiosity because Law's house is in the middle of the forest, far from peaks or mountains, so where the hell is this guy came from and, even better, how did he survive the fall?
Curiosity (and his sense of duty as a healer) causes Law to drag the guy inside and nurse him back to health. 'The guy' soon wakes up and gets a name, Luffy, who reveals himself to be a priest of the Sun God's temple, which makes sense to Law, since Luffy's magic seems totally opposite to his, a raven whose species is constantly attributed to the Goddess of Darkness, Nika's enemy. All this, however, does not explain how Luffy fell out of nowhere from the sky and it only gets worse when not even Luffy knows how it happens.
Unfortunately for Law, meeting Luffy is a path of no return and in the blink of an eye his isolated and peaceful life is disturbed by the priest who, after returning to full health, becomes a noisy guest in Law's small cabin.
Things get weird when Law's wings start to grow back, white instead of black, at the same time that Luffy also starts to change. For worse. His health simply declines and his magic grows and becomes out of control, becoming a danger to everything around him, excluding, in some way, Law.
Desperate to understand and help Luffy, Law begins his journey out of seclusion toward the capital's temple, where Luffy is said to serve as a priest. But dragging a time bomb in the shape of a man all the way to the capital is not simple when you are alone and Law has no option but to accept the growing number of people who seem to be drawn into Luffy's orbit and who decide to accompany them on the journey

Love AroAllo Nicaise. Just seems right.
She's exactly the sort of person I can imagine raising Alastor and helping him form his moral code.
Oh god, how did She take learning Alastor had a stalker?!
Nicaise, patching Alastor up after he got into a fight at school: Remember baby, don't go punching people unless they deserve it.
Alastor: Yes ma'am.
Nicaise: And don't get caught!
Same rules apply to stabbing, yes?
Nicaise is horrified and disgusted by the Vees. At first she only really knew about Valentino as Angel Dust's shithead boss and, like Cherri, works to cheer Angel up when Valentino is especially hard on him. Just... with more shopping trips and less drugs. She was already predisposed to hate Vox and Velvette simply because of their association with Valentino. Then she saw Alastor destroying the drones buzzing around the hotel. When she asked about them, Alastor simply described Vox as a disgusting voyeur who spied on everyone all of the time, and in the wake of the media circus, Nicaise didn't think there was much more to it.
She only learns the truth from an offhand comment thoughtlessly tossed out by Niffty about the TV bad boy's 'crush' on Alastor. Nicaise hopes desperately that she misheard when she asks Niffty for clarification. Husk tries to get Niffty to shut up, which only results in him getting interrogated by Alastor's mother. And Niffty was only guessing. Husk actually has some insight into Alastor's and Vox's history, their past friendship, their falling out. He doesn't give Nicaise the full story because he knows Alastor would skin him alive - not hyperbole - but he does tell Nicaise enough to paint a rather disturbing picture.
Her first thought is to go and confront this Vox person directly. Husk has to stop her. Pointing out that she's been able to stay out of the spotlight so far. Does she really want to reveal her identity to the freak in charge of every TV network in the Pentagram? Nicaise doesn't care. Does she want to get Alastor in even more trouble? This gives her pause. She's far from defenseless, but now that they know angels can be killed she can't afford to be reckless, and if Vox learned her identity he'd be all too eager to target her as a way of hurting Alastor. Besides, proud as Alastor is, he wouldn't want his mother fighting his battles for him. He's capable of defending himself, and he does have people on his side who are willing to provide backup in the instance he needs it.
Still, Nicaise insists there must be something that can be done about Vox. Aren't there some authorities they can report this to? A restraining order? Husk raises his eyebrow and reminds her they're in Hell.
