Another fanfiction tropes bookshelf sketch! 📚✨️💕 click for better quality

Pt.1 • Pt.2 • Pt.4 @swayamev

[bella-rose29]

the jockwood universe (college au)

basically jockwood is a thing now, and these are the generic world building hc's of this au :)

essentially what's going to happen is a bunch of x reader fics set within this universe, all probably slightly different but every one of them set with this same background to them, so... yeah!

(also a special thank you to the multiverse of George for helping answer my pestering questions)

Lockwood is on the football team/part of the university football society

Also the fencing society

George and Lockwood are friends from high school but are in separate circles in college

George is also on the ice hockey team 

Kipps is on the football team too

When they were like… preteens or something Kipps and Lockwood had a friendly football match where they were on opposing teams

Lockwood’s team beat Kipps’ by… a lot (and Kipps totally isn’t bitter about it)

Holly is a student rep

Lucy is in debate club and fencing

Skull is a campus cat who hisses and scratches everyone but Lucy

He’s called Skull bc he’s got a weird patch on his head that looks a bit like a skull

And also Lucy seems to always know what Skull wants?? It’s like she can actually talk to him or something 👀

Barnes is a very tired senior lecturer who is the academic advisor to the trio + Holly and Kipps, and he wishes they would stop hogging his office hours

The Winkmans are a family who live in town and sit on their porch every morning shouting abuse at people who walk past

Bobby!!! On the football team and also in band (plays the clarinet probably)

Kate and Ned as well - both on the football team and hang out with Kipps obviously, along with Bobby

Rotwells College is in the same town/city and often competes against the Fittes university (that Penelope is head of)

Flo goes to Rotwells’ and is in their fencing society, but she sneaks onto the Fittes campus all the time to feed the ducks and throw frozen peas at passing students

Visitors - there’s a lot of local folklore and haunted buildings, and Lockwood and Co go and investigate because they’re Like That

Technology is modern, and as such they have phones

And group chats

Obviously Lockwood and Co is the name of Lockwood, Lucy, George, and Holly’s group chat

Lockwood is surprisingly old-fashioned when it comes to technology though? Like he has a record player and cassette tapes in his room that he just whips out every now and then

People’s courses/degrees!

Lockwood’s course is chemical engineering with fine art/art history

George - chemistry

Lucy - English (language and literature)

Holly - English literature + publishing

Kipps - Architecture (but he’s a dick about it)

Ned - Spanish/Spanish + international development

Kat - chemical engineering

Bobby - history

Flo - classical and archaeological studies

[lightningmonarchda3]

one of the things that makes me laugh is thinking about an AU where somehow the marauders era characters end up in the future in 2020 and 14 year old albus and socrpius teaching them all abt technology.

Sirius falls in love w/ spotify but still prefers vinyl

remus falls in love with chromebooks/laptops bc he won't lose any of his writing anymore

peter will be always online on tumblr and you can find literally everything on his blog

mary by beloved fashionista, the best outfits ever. also updated on any celebrity news

james is a twitter guy and he's just posting memes and shitposts but he's lowkey scared of bluetooth/wifi/wireless stuff

lily has tons of pinterest boards, a true cottagecore lesbian, with soooo many cat pics in her gallery

barty is watching porn 24/7. period.

pandora somehow ends up on the most shady websites

evan and dorcas are chilling watching shows on netflix every night

marlene is doing the most dangerous shit and hilarious dance moves on tiktok

regulus is running constantly between reading articles and snapchating his friends stupid and idiotic shit

[garrettwrites]

There's a particular type of post that I hate for it misses the entire point of some online "aesthetic" communities, via total exaggeration of the majority of people that are part of it.

You need to understand what a fantasy is. Even if it's unrealistic and you hate it. Because it's a fantasy, sometimes an escapist one, not reality.

I was raised in rural areas from 11 to around 20, first because me and my mother moved to live with a friend, and then because I was orphaned. I know the hard work of living in the countryside. I know what it is like to carry tones of wood from the truck to the garage to heat up the house and water for winter. I know how cows infest the nearby areas with flies and the smell of shit. I know chickens are disgusting. I know no white clothing would remain white for long. I know you sometimes live so far from the nearest market you need to use a car (thankfully I only had to walk twenty minutes).

Cottagecore or any variation of it are not that. They are a fantasy. An escapist dream. The return to a glamourized pastoral genre of fiction and ideology. Cute homes that remain always cozy (despite you never deep cleaning them). Baking complex recipes in your beautiful and plant covered kitchen (which magically has no flies). Taking a stroll to a nearby river and resting there for a bit (your house came from the sky and you didn't pay an exorbitant amount of money for the location). Having so many books and old fashioned hobbies and knowing how to both tend to a garden, do embroidery, crochet and woodworking (because this is your ideal world so you have no job taking up time). You have time to write your books, draw your art, maybe go out with your countryside friends. You may have a loving, imaginary partner who is just part of the picture too (because they're not real, so you can imagine them as unrealistic as you please).

Same applies to the dark academia or whatever.

It's a fantasy. A fantasy you can try to bring little by little into your life, but it's ultimately impossible to fully achieve. Chill out. You're not cool and quirky by hating on people who make extensive and picture perfect pinterest boards or run sideblogs with pictures of expensive stoves and animal themed pottery. You just look like an asshole.

"But farm life isn't like that!!!!!" So what? As long as people don't think caring for cows is easy and cheap, and get one only to mistreat her due to negligence... I don't see how their fantasy is harming anyone.

Some people accept unrealistic, borderline insipid (imo) books because "everyone has a different taste". Books you actually pay for. But then you shit on people who are posting pictures of dreams with zero real world consequences involved? It's the exact same thing.

"But people will start thinking it's fun when it ain't!" If you go ahead and buy a farm, waste thousands on decorations, get twenty chickens and five cows without any research... it's not because of a pastoral fantasy. It's because you're an idiot who doesn't think of the ramifications of your actions. We all have fantasies. Good lord.

My fantasy is to have a small neo gothic palace with a farm on the back, near the woods and with a small stream running through. It snows there, because I've never seen snow. Everything is dark and with a vague vampire theme mixed with neo-classic stuff, along with wall and ceiling paintings. I have expensive turkish rugs and tapestries with mythological scenes. I have a loving husband and two cats, along with a mare. I spend my days writing books and drawing illustrations, ocasionally doing history papers. My gigantic home is always clean despite no one doing so. Later, I have a child running through the place. Food is always warm, coffee always served.

Do I think I'll ever get this? Fuck no. But it's a goddamn fantasy for a reason, and as a writer, I can also commit it to paper. Who cares about how hard maintaining such a house would be? I don't live in it.

8, 12, 16 for the choose violence meme

already did 8 and 12 so 16 it is

16: you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

MOON. BABY. there are people who think (hypothetically, we still don't know yet, but they ASSUME this is what's happening) just throwing out all that set-up of griffith's attachment to guts, the foreshadowing of his heart not being fully frozen from before moonbaby even existed, and just making him an obstacle to guts and casca's relationship with their practically nonexistent character of a son is a GREAT writing decision. it essentially throws out his entire character and makes everything we learned about his and guts' relationship in the golden age arc completely worthless. to me this, if it goes this way, would be a SHOCKINGLY bad decision. like, legitimately one of the worst in fiction that i've seen tbh. griffith would be getting fucked harder by the writing than cersei lannister getting relegated to sitting on a balcony going "but my baby tho" for an entire season. but somehow there are people who think it's sooooo deep, and i just. i physically don't have it in me to take it seriously

and then there are all the ending theories centered around this thing. just the worst. if Berserk ends with them somehow separating, griffith alone dying and guts and casca skipping off into the sunset to go live some Harvest Moon ass cottagecore tradwife nightmare with their kid i'm killing myself fr. it's not that i want guts and griffith to get married or whatever the fuck idiots on reddit dot com think. there's just no precedent for that, and a HUGE precedent for practically anything else

The Aurors' Draught

The Aurors' Draught https://ift.tt/Xekim7c by BeesAgenda When the DMLE Auror Protection Unit brings both Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy on board for a ground-breaking project, they are forced to work together.

heyyy you can help me out if you like because I have choice paralysis about which project to work on while I take a break from my other projects ;_;

More Info/Synopsis under the cut!

(Sorted from how long they've been rotated from most to least so far)

Action/fantasy webtoon about a cursed school where students turn into monsters:

The class clown turns into an actual monster-clown, the sporty girls become cheerleader-zombies, the annoying little elementary school brats turn into screaming dolls and the teachers turn into boss monsters.

The only three people seemingly unaffected are Miyako (metalhead, bff of Cally), Cally (goody two-shoes, Miyako's bff) and Achintya (nerd, unrelated). With the former two, the reasons seems because they're not quite human themselves. But what's up with that shady little nerd? And he seems to know more than he lets on...

Whatever the case may be, they must lift the curse before things escalate.

Okay, so, imagine a Shounen Manga, except the demographic is all genders and women are people. Miyako, since she's secretly a demon, takes after a typical shounen battle protagonist, while Cally is a fairy and falls more into the magical girl mold. As for Achintya... he's complicated.

Shadowrun-action-romance-novel about fixing malicious DRM on cyberware, m/f

Working title: You owe me

A story about maliciously designed cyberware, trust-issues, debt, being in your twenties, guilt and a wrestler-elf and hacker-dwarf being dumbass idiots who pine for one another and secretly think the other person is the best thing since sliced bread. Slow-ish burn.

The good news is, I have like a hundred pages already written. The bad news is, I would have to rewrite a lot of it because my writing process has changed a lot. But let me say no more, take a gander at our romantic leads, ladies, gentlemen and those that lieth betwinxt:

Webtoon fantasy/romance remake of a story where a girl marries the carrot king

There is an german fairytale written by the guy who also wrote the nutcracker which is bonkers and hilarious and I'd looove to adapt it into webtoon format. I wrote about it here: click meee

I would update the story so it takes place in modern times and deals with the issue of aesthetics versus being... (think e.g. cottagecore versus actual farming) in short "it is fine and dandy to dream, in fact it's very important... but if you're too keen to only believe what you want to be true, you're gonna get duped."

But most importantly it would give me ample reason to draw a carrot with a handsome anime-face.

Shadowrun-mystery-novel about the worship of dragons (Blackout Sequel)

I wrote a shadowrun short story about loneliness, vulnerability, yakuza and mysterious lemon cake. I have ideas for a sequel - granted they are quite nebulous as of now, but I'm confident I'm reaching the point where I can start fleshing them out. This time around the story would be longer and more involved. The theme would be the worship of dragons, not just in the literal sense, but also in how people relate to power.

We would also see how the relationship between Hanne and Amanda progresses. I personally wish friendships would receive as much attention and nuance as romantic relationships and here I would attempt such a thing.

Webtoon-action-romance about the housing market and identity, f/f

Anansi and Muu meet, one day, via the matrix, when they stumble upon each other trying to get entry into the same matrix club. The reason they're here are quite different. Muu, a corporate princess, just hit her thirtieth birthday, only received presents she didn't like and has a minor crisis about it. Anansi, who is a technomancer, is always on the run and here to meet a Mr Johnson.

While Muu's journey is, at first, internal, as she starts to try out different avatars to figure out who she even is, Anansi holds on for dear life as a squatter and, gets screwed over with the payment and sets out to find that damn Johnson to make him pay one way or another.

Their paths in life are quite different, yet they keep running into each other and, despite everything, find themselves drawn to each other.

And then it turns out their worlds are not as far apart as suspected.

I would be quite excited about this one because I've never written a f/f romance before, despite being very, very bi (granted I've also never finished writing a m/f romance, but still). Mostly I just really like the characters and I think the story would be solid and not too convoluted... as mine tend to get sometimes :,)

... but I'm equally excited to do all of these! What do you say?

[imjustabeanie]

i cannot stop being an idiot, tumblr wouldn't show me the header of 'i don't write for these'. i'm so so so sorry 😅 genshin and jjk then : )

she//her

virgo

9w1

ENFP // ISFJ

pansexual

Lawful Neutral

Appearance: 176 cm, 5'10. a little past shoulder length brown hair, dark brown eyes. i'm sort of a slender hourglass i guess??? i'm pretty tan, so a ton of scars on my arms and face are visible and kind of pink. i typically dress dark academia or cottagecore, and i'm definitely very feminine. i have supppeerrr sensitive hearing so i'm typically wearing headphones or earplugs. also i'm always cold so you can't catch me without layers lmao

personality: super duper bubbly !! sterotypical manic pixie girl enfp, but i've alwso been described as demure and graceful. no fucking clue how those go hand in hand :') i absolutely LOVE kids and i'm seen by the ones i babysit as a 'jiejie' or older sister 🥺 i'm also a super hopeless romantic hahaahaha. i'm also like. concerningly morbid? i sound so edgy saying all fo this but like listening to 4 hours of gore being graphically described or seeing it on the internet doesn't gross me out at all ? ? ? like its so interesting. i'm also probably a people pleaser-

i really enjoy getting up early, and staying up ridiculously late. i enjoy cooking, sewing, rollerskating, and ballroom or folk dancing. i enjoy playing harp and cello, and i act a lot, too. i speak Latin, Russian, Greek, French, and English, and i adore school.

sorry if this isn't enough information haha 😅 thank you !!

Hi! There was a problem in my pined I realized yesterday or so that it said two fandoms for matches. I'll only do Genshin and will just mention who your JJK match is.

Your genshin match is Navia!

I really hesitated between her and Venti but in the end she won.

Navia is caring, bubbly, energetic and always willing to help. You two would be such sweethearts. A couple a lot would envy because it's full of love and arguments are scarce.

Navia loves shopping with you! Even if you two don't really buy anything and just walk around. Your styles are rather similar so she'd do her best to match with you. She always carries an extra coat with her and dotes over you when she thinks you're cold. Navia also makes sure to bring great earplugs with her and stray away from loud places when you're together.

Navia is a hopeless romantic too! Her love language is all over the place. She loves physical affection, always compliments you and spoils you when she can! She enjoys dates too, especially the ones at home where you two can cook together and just goof around. She's very good with kids too.

While your morbid interest startle her, she won't judge you much for it. You're definitely tougher than her even if she tries to hide it. She enjoys all your hobbies and would really like rollerskating. Navia does have contacts so from time to time she'd get you two ballroom tickets. She enjoys listening to you play and joins you with her own instrument.

[casuallyimagining]

!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh it's basically done :,( Courtney I had such a good time keeping up with this series week to week I'm gonna miss it. I've really grown attached to the WSE couple I really hope they get their little equivalent to a country cottagecore farmhouse that yoongi has been wanting after this cuz they deserve their flowers after that mission tbh.

Also, (SPOILERS)

"Eventually, you’ll break apart. Maybe you’ll talk about it, maybe you won’t. But right now, you hold him. Because he needs you to. And because after six years of missing him, and almost 20 years of ignoring things, you kind of just want him to hold you, too."

LIKE UGH!!!!- Listen that ending didnt have to go so hard, Cant I just read my little Star Wars au without getting gut wrenching pain in my heart?!?!?

Anyways, looking forward to following you in your next endeavors what a solid series!

- 🍒

cherries! i'm so glad you've been enjoying it! I had so much fun writing this series, and I freaking love Star Wars, so I've loved doing all the research and discovering far-flung planets that I could use in the story. they do deserve something nice, don't they?

I loved writing the ending. I've loved this couple from the beginning. they're both so stupid and so in love and I love these idiots so much.

up next, we deviate a little and go back to my roots--you'll find out in a couple weeks what that means 😉

[bokettochild]

Head cannons about Legend's uncle? Because I head cannon that he's one of the sweetest and naive hylians Legend knows (how that man became a knight is beyond him), and Legend takes it upon himself to protect his uncle. Also, his uncle is a worse hoarder than him, keeping all the baby clothes and toys

Okay, so you set me up. I hope you don't mind, but I couldn't think of any headcannons off the top of my head, so I just wrote a fic about Legend gushing about his Uncle instead :)

“Mr. Hero?” Ravio’s voice rung through the house, startling Legend up from the mending he was doing to his tunic and drawing his attention to the merchant, who stared at him in confusion and held up a very tiny piece of clothing. “Why do you have baby clothes kept in the basement?”

Warriors, who had parked his ass on the couch, raised a brow, smiling brightly at the team vet. “Ooh, got something to fess up to, vet?”

“Fess up?” Hyrule glanced from hero to hero “For what? Why is it bad to have baby clothes?”

“Didn’t figure you for the type.” Warriors continued, earning more confused glances from the younger ones as he wiggled his brows suggestively.

Legend rolled his eyes. “Shup. They’re my old clothes, not something for a secret love-child, you dirty-minded twat.” He looked back to Ravio. “Stop getting into my stuff, Ravio, or I will evict you.”

“But why do you have it?” Ravio pressed, holding the clothing article up and out of Legend’s reach as the vet walked across the room to grab it, the merchant taking full advantage of the two inches he had over his counterpart and the fact that he was wearing shoes while Legend wasn’t. “You can’t wear it again.”

“It’s mine. Would you-” The vet tripped in his attempts to dart over and grab the thing, faceplanting on the ground with a scowl and pulling himself up to glare at Ravio, who only offered an apologetic smile in return, and the tiny sleeper as if it was an apology gift.

“I guess you could fit in it.” Twilight hummed, smirking. “If you shrunk.”

The allusion to being a rabbit was clear between the three who knew, and Sky snickered as Legend scowled. Regardless, the vet carefully smoothed and folded the sleeper, fussing over it like there was a baby still inside.

“Are you saving them for when you have kids?” Wind asked, leaning over to watch, bright eyes sparkling even brighter at the veteran who flushed softly.

“See? Not just me!” Warriors crowed.

Legend sighed, running a hand over his face. The others really couldn’t leave well enough alone, could they? “No, my uncle saved them. He didn’t like throwing things out, said everything was a memory.” The vet glanced around the house, as if taking in the items around him. The others followed his gaze, taking note of the instruments, masks, weapons and other paraphernalia lining the walls. “He didn’t like to let go of the past, he always wanted something to look back to.” A soft smile pulled at the vet’s lips, eyes glowing softly with a warmth he rarely showed to the whole chain. “He was a sentimental sort, I suppose.” Not that Legend appeared to be the same way or anything, nope.

“What else did he like doing?” Wild prompted, as if recognizing the cloudy look in the vet’s eyes.

Legend smiled, chuckling softly and shaking his head. “He loved apples, I guess. Planted that orchard out there really. I s’pose he never had much time to tend it, what with being a knight ‘n all, but he was pleased as pie when I took to it. He always used to come home and inspect the apples first thing, just look at ‘em, touch ‘em, an’ he’d tell me how far along he thought they were. The first year we got a good haul he taught me how to make cider, his own special brew.” Ther vet’s eyes softened, a faraway expression taking over and smoothing the lines on his brow. “I never got it right. Couldn’t measure for shit.” The teen chuckled again. “I’m shit at math.”

“The same.” Time hummed; eyes fixed on Legend as the lad continued to stand and stare off into space.

“Guess he didn’t mind though.” The vet continued. “He said he liked the wild taste, made it more like home or somethin’.” A shrug. “I guess it is kinda like his ma’s pie, so it does kind remind of the farm he grew up on, ‘cept, I s’pose it’s a ranch. Lon Lon Ranch actually. His folks still run the place, raise the best horses in all of Hyrule.” Legend puffed up with those words, a faint flush dusting over his cheeks and ears. “S’pose that’s how he even made it to bein’ a knight. He was a decent swordsman, but softest hearted bloke you ever did see. He was a master at taming and trainin’ the horses though, and there’s not a mare in the castle’s stable that he didn’t work with. He taught me nearly everything I know, an’ what he didn’t share, Gran filled in. Everything from horses to husbandry -the plant sort, not the family kind.”

“Everything?” Wind repeated, looking shocked.

“Very nearly.” The vet shrugged. “I mean, I learned a lot on my adventures, but I’d’ve never made it that far if not for him.” The vet smiled, warm and sad, towards a small picture on one of the walls, one no one had bothered to look closely at before. It showed a man with dark and curly hair, something like Ravio’s if you compared the two, and sparkling indigo eyes. A child, bright eyed and smiling wide enough to show off his oversized front teeth, sat in his lap, pink hair falling into eyes that were squeezed closed in a grin.

“Is that him?” Warriors nodded to another picture, one of a man with flashing violet eyes, the same color as Legend’s own, and a smile that made Warriors’ own charming grin look like a grimace. Legend glanced over, and snorted.

“Nah, that’s Raven. He was...” The pink-haired hero chuckled. “He was my hero growing up, where Uncle wasn’t anyway. Uncle used to tell me story after story about him, our ancestor. Told me how he restored our family’s honor after it was tarnished by the fallen hero; how, even after all of Hyrule scorned him, he still went on to travel the world and become the finest knight this world has ever seen.” The vet smirked. “Full offense, Captain.”

“General.” Warriors corrected.

“Potato, pahtahto.”  The vet waved his hands.

“He told you stories?” Hyrule pressed, as if hoping, just as the rest of them did, that Legend would go on. They’d never heard the lad’s voice go so soft or see his eyes flash that way.  Besides, it was nice to hear about somebody’s family from them, there was a sort of wonder to it that came from seeing through someone else’s eyes.

Legend nodded, slowly, minutely, as if he wasn’t entirely aware of what he was doing or saying at the moment, or was caught in a haze of some sort.  “Yeah. I struggled with insomnia a lot as a kid, still do. Uncle hated seeing me dragging, so on bad nights he’d brew some of his special cider, a whole kettle for the two of us, an’ we’d sit ‘round and tell stories until one of us dropped off. The other always dropped off soon after, an’ we’d wake up in the mornin’ more refreshed than other nights.”

“What were the stories about?” Wild hummed, looking very nearly as dazed as Legend himself, caught up in the warm, rolling lilt of the vet’s accent.

Legend motioned to the wall, the pictures on it specifically. “All sorts of folks. Sir Raven, the Fallen Hero, Great Granmalon,” A light flush stole over the vet’s face as he ducked his head, surprisingly childish as he admitted to the last one. “The Heroes of the Four Sword.”

That had Four sitting up and blinking, staring as Legend turned to stare at the paintings, very carefully not meeting the smithy’s eyes.

“That one was kinda my favorite. Uncle even got me the books, which were all good an’ great an’ all, except the one version.” Clouds skittered indigo across lavender. “Whoever wrote that book should by locked in the Four Sword Palace, because it was absolutely atrocious! Uncle said that it was just one man’s take on the story, but on that I dare say he was wrong. You don’t go demonizing the other heroes to build up their leader! I swear, that book is the reason I learned to dislike Green, they tried to make him out as some amazing hero when he was just as flawed and messed up as the others! I mean-” The vet didn’t even seem aware of them anymore, scowling down at his hands as he gestured wildly, brows furrowed in a dark scowl. “Look at Vio! He was, like, the best character in the entire thing ever! And the Shadow, and Erune and all the others? They were fun! I liked them! They were great supporters and the-” Legend cut off, staring at the group and blinking as Four flushed wildly and Time chuckled.

“Agreed.” Their leader laughed. “Although I did enjoy reading about Green.”

Legend scowled, pointing accusingly at the man. “You have the cursed Green-centric version, you uncultured swine. Of course you like him, he’s the only one they let you like!” Time huffed, but didn’t contest it, letting their vet rein himself in by running a hand through his faded pink hair.

“Why was it your favorite?” Sky prodded, joining in on keeping Legend talking. Why the lad was sharing suddenly with them, no one could fathom, but he was and it was... strangely refreshing. It was a new side of the hero that they’d never seen before, and it was warm in a way that had the younger ones enraptured and the older ones urging him on and digging into what he gave them with a relish.

Legend shrugged. “Couldn’t say. Maybe it was just the first one I remember, so it stuck with me. I mean, we have a festival at the Palace of the Four Sword every year, and it used to be my favorite event as a kid, so maybe I just associate it with good stuff.”

“Festival?” Twilight repeated, glancing at Four as if to ask if the smithy had heard. He had.

“Yeah. We’d ride over to the base of the Palace’s steps and Uncle would let me help set up a stand. We’d sell cider and apples to the merry-makers and when it got late, we’d go watch the contests and pageant together. Uncle used to encourage me to try and join in on one of them, but I never got the guts up to try.” The vet smirked. “I was kinda a coward as a kid. Didn’t want to do new stuff, I was just happy existing.”

“Why are you telling us this?” Ravio frowned, startling everyone else, including Legend, as the merchant stared at them. “You never talk about yourself like this.”

The smile was back, bitter-sweet and gentle in the way that seemed so strangely natural to the young man. “They say a man lives as long as his memory; Uncle never got the long life he deserved, but the least I can do is pass on something about him.” The vet fingered the tiny tunic he’d left on the arm of the sofa. “In my Hyrule, when someone dies, after we’re done mourning, we spend the day of their death trying to honor and remember them. We tell their story and we pass on their life to those who will come after us, so that they never truly die.” The vet shrugged; face hidden by his hair as he fiddled with a tiny sleeve. “I know it’s hogwash, but it’s nice to think that if something happens during this quest, Uncle won’t be gone forever, even if I am. He’ll still be around, a memory of warmth and joy,” The vet’s dark gaze rose to stare up at them, shy but full of warmth that had some of them blinking in surprise, “even to those who never met him.”

Wind smiled, rocketing over to hug the vet, who started at the sudden display of affection. “I think it’s great that you want to honor your uncle today, Legend, I’m sorry none of us knew it was the anniversary.” And maybe the sailor’s words were the final piece of the puzzle as the reality that today was the day Legend lost his beloved uncle dawned on them. The sailor didn’t seem to care about their revelation though, instead beaming up at Legend with the same warmth he directed at Aryll. “How would you feel about having a cider and story night with us? You know, in his memory?”

The words were the perfect ones, and they earned the sailor a warm grin and a ruffle of ringed fingers through sun-bleached curls. “Sure, Maliit.” And to Wind’s utter delight and surprise the vet smirked. “Wanna help me make the cider?”

Wind was whooping and darting off to the kitchen with a grin a second later, and Legend followed after, but not before he scooped up the tiny blue sleeper.

❛Falling for her wasn't falling at all. It was walking into a house and suddenly knowing you're home.❜

♧ Title: Coming Home [CH]

♧ Status: Drafting, honestly

♧ Point of View: Most likely third person, with two, three povs it can jump between

♧ Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Romance

♧ Warnings: Nudity, violence, attempted murder, eldritch beings, gore, witch hunts, using religion to commit atrocities, deaths, tragic endings, star crossed lovers, tragic romance, mention of past abuse, mention of past torture; I'm sure I'm missing some.

♧ Featuring: A cottage witch and her two eldritch idiots for a good start.... Diverse LGBTQ+ characters, enemies to begrudging allies to friends to lovers to enemies, complicated relationships, morally grey characters, complex and complicated world-building, slow-burn relationships, plenty of symbolism, witches, fantasy religions, found family, cottagecore, character redemption arcs, character corruption arcs; I'm sure I'm missing some but you get the picture!

♧ Setting: Honestly? It's kind of ambiguous as I can't make up my mind where it's set. Overall it's a cute remote cottage these three share. With mention of other places.

♧ Tease: Just because you are feeling lost, it does not mean that you need to go back their way, even if they were the only home you've ever known. You left it for a reason, remember? It is best to stay lost and search for a better home than to return to the home that was never really a home. Build your own home.

♧ Synopsis:

Liraz lives a simple life. Her days are spent alone, with her companion Blodeu. Together they live in seclusion in a cottage in the middle of nowhere. It is as they prefer, for their own safety.

In the mornings, Liraz wakes. She cooks herself breakfast and plans for the day. Until noon she tends to her cottage and her gardens. In the evenings, with Blodeu she ventures into the woodlands nearby and enjoys nature and all she finds. Before she sleeps, she leaves offerings to the spirits and to the gods. She wakes. The cycle repeats.

One night, however, the cycle is interrupted.

First comes a hailstorm as never witnessed before. When she stirs from bed to investigate, the wind calls her by what she is: witch. The next night opposed to a hailstorm and wind, there is a fire that blazes across the entire mountain. The flames too cackle in greeting by what she is: witch. The next night, she meets the spirits that have been interrupting her sleep.

Or so, she had expected spirits. She may have bargained a bit more than she could handle. But she isn't a woman that rejects a challenge.

Ultimately, Liraz comes to an arrangement with the two. Soon, they all fall into a pattern that involves a reliance and acceptance of each other. The company they provide, the cottage is no longer quiet and lonely, and Liraz... Liraz doesn't mind it as much as she should.

♧ Excerpt:

[this is one of the few times I write first person, so enjoy it. This all started since I was writing a journal for this woman in a dnd campaign]

I admit, I must have fallen asleep waiting. It's to my surprise, it did not come during the Witching Hour, but after, in what could be in the early morn, before the suns and moons would chime five. And it was not an it, but a they. It would make far more sense, than it being one entity. Their presence, not such a show as the night before, stirred me from my slumber.

The first clad in dark with skin to rival ice. Off the ground they walked, glided I believe is the right expression, on the wind. And in hand carried a gnarled staff made of ice. The second donned the head of a bird (more a vulture than a raven, I would say), with eyes made of ember and cloaked in a dark mantle of feathers. And they carried a gnarled staff made of fire opal and flames. One singed the earth where they walked, and I knew it was the one that came last night; the other chilled the wind when they breathed, and I knew it was the one that came the night before.

At the boundaries, where the wards began, they stopped. To me, they greeted, in voices that tasted older than anything I have known, "hail witch."

As I moved forward, to stand within my safety, but before them, I returned their greeting. "Hail spirits."

And how they laughed a laugh, one that chilled the air and my very bones, and another that ignited the blood in my veins and sent my heart racing. "We are no spirits."

"Hail daims then." I corrected myself.

And again, they laughed that very very laugh. When they settled, they replied, "you have not a name for what we are… some would call us—"

Although they spoke, I caught not what it was. It felt like a blow that hit hard and forced me back a step. In I took a breath and my ground I stood.

"What do you want from me?" I asked them as I held their eyes.

♧ Characters: Surprisingly, I only have four main characters for you this time. Sure there will be others, but this is their story. Get a taste of simplicity with me.

Ekaterine Liraz, The Cottage Witch

Afab • Genderfluid • She/They • Witch • Asexual • Demiromantic

Liraz is the known witch who lives on her own at the top of the mountain. She lives around and comes to town only for supplies once or twice a month. Her only companion is the owl she keeps and she keeps to herself. She has secluded herself atop her mountain and in her cottage for her own safety, against the urge of he nature for adventure.

Blodeu, the Horned Owl

Male • He/Him • The familiar of Liraz

Blodeu is the faithful familiar of Liraz. He's moody and overprotective of his witch. With his unnerving eye, he keeps away any of the townsfolk who wish ill against Liraz. In return, he enjoys chin scritches, being able to fly the open sky, and being able to accompany his mistress on her endeavors.

Kregznic, or En for short, The Eternal Flame

Agender • They/Them [they will have days in which they will align She/Her and He/Him, but overall it's They/Them and you need permission for anything else] • Great Old One • Asexual • Aromantic

The Keeper of the Flame, En is well known amongst their own kind as a ruthless individual that holds no affection for anything except their other half. They're withdrawn and antisocial, and quick to set anything aflame. The few capable of becoming close to them get to see the unwavering loyalty and support they place, and their devotion to ensure the happiness and security of what they love.

Marzomme, or Moro for short, The Eternal Frost

Genderfluid • He/She • Great Old One • Asexual • Demiromantic

The Keeper of the Ice, Moro is well known by his own kind as a childish. He lacks the care to understand human concepts, but he does enjoy learning their traditions and cultures. Very airheaded, Moro carries a light attitude about him. He's immature and enjoys pulling pranks. Rarely does he share in En's indulgence of ruin and damnation, but when he does... most prefer the Flame.

In Quarantine with Mello & Matt

This is still relevant... right?.. Right????

Mello

Ok so this man is irritable

He is even more irritable now that he can't leave the house for anything other than food, groceries, hospital trips and anything else that is important.

He will wear a mask and adhere to guidelines of course, he's not an idiot.

But expect more fights over mundane ass things like who washes the dishes or how annoyed he is that he can't get more chocolate because it's like 4am and the store is closed

.He totally supports small businesses around your area. He will buy their homemade chocolate products if he can..

He will throw hands if somebody coughs or sneezes on him.

Mello isn't the worst to be around during quarantine though.

When working from home (which he does most of the time anyway) he likes cuddles and just general being in the same room as you are.

He gets kinda into baking and really into writing.

Mello really enjoys making bread especially with you.

He also likes making cakes and other sweets..

As for his writing, he gets to a point where he can basically churn out a novel per month... and yes he publishes that shit!

So while Mr. Author extraordinaire is writing his many books of varying quality, he’s extra vulnerable to your affections.. Kisses, You got it, Hugs, Yea, sure, Just leave him be for a while after.

If you get into any other hobbies, he’ll try them with you. 

If you get into anything with yarn or anything like that, He’ll probably love it... He’s like lowkey kinda cottagecore

Mello also gets into online gaming to talk to Matt more often.

Matt

He was basically in quarantine long before it all started. 

Basically nothing changed for him... Well except for the fact that MMOs are more popular!

He’s super stoked to play games all day and geek out.

Buuut, of course he still has a job... in the mafia.. There’s times where you have to force him out of his fantasy world and into the real world. 

Matt is super chill about basically everything... Though.. he is just a little bit stressed seeing the total cases rising.

The only way you could tell is by his smoking habits.

Matt does seem to get just a tad bit clingy... and lazy.

He wants to stay in bed or on the couch with you all day..

He, like Mello will be interested in whatever hobbies you decide to try.. But he won’t do knitting or crocheting... because “that’s old lady shit” to him.

Matt will LOVE you if you start baking though, He will be your designated food taster. 

Matt will try to get you into gaming as well as nerd culture if you aren’t already into it to some degree.

Slushie runs to the local 7 Eleven (Or similar slushie selling convenience stores) happen on an almost weekly basis.

He’ll eventually start impulse buying things he finds cute or interesting... so be prepared for a whole lot of meaningless junk... but I mean he is buying from small businesses online.. So that’s a good thing... But really.. Do you really need 200 worms on strings wearing top hats, Matt?
