#in sanguine veritas

[ko-kib]

Veritas decides that there is no better taste in the world than cherry. Ripe enough to pop with one bite, dyeing his lips red as the sanguine juices lather his tongue. How fortunate for him to find his favorite flavor in an unbearably handsome and incorrigible man a single gamble away from death’s door. 

He’s lucky that Aventurine isn’t opposed to scenting. Veritas doesn’t remember who asked first; if he had succumbed to his baser instincts at the first whiff of tart cherry, or if the gambler had bluffed about how much easier it made it to pass as a mated omega for his assignments. It was a mutually beneficial agreement: it sated the alpha’s peculiar palate, and it was a risk-free gamble for Aventurine that protected him from unsavory comments and wandering hands. 

It became enjoyable even, if the way Aventurine would flash a lazy grin and readily bare his neck in request were any indicator. Veritas never missed the hitch in the omega’s breath every time his nose brushed against his gland, followed by a sigh as a gentle purr settled in the latter’s chest. The alpha would always start on the right side of his neck, away from the brand seared into the opposing scent gland. Aventurine could only describe the alpha as caring and attentive, if only occasionally tittering on the edge of overbearing if the omega walked away from Veritas stinking like he had rolled around in chalk dust and bathed in a fresh pot of ink. 

Veritas would always say he smelled like one of his classrooms back at the University of Veritas Prime. Aventurine complained that he smelled boring, unfit for a meeting with the IPC or dinner with foreign dignitaries he was supposed to form friendly relations with. Yet it was always the omega who stalled in front of the doors, even if he was already quite late, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he turned to face the alpha. 

“Doctor, why don’t you scent me again? I think your scent has worn off since we’ve arrived. Can’t hurt to try again, can it?” Aventurine never waited for a reply, grinning as he pulled the scholar down by his sash. 

It was always the same. Veritas would huff out some insult, berating the gambler’s tardiness as he let gloved hands guide him to the sweetness he craved to sink his teeth into.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT Q’S

QUESTION ONE: were you born on the island, if so, what kind of curiosities do you have about the world beyond? if you weren’t, what do you miss about the world outside veritas isles? 

No, though I do miss the freedom of traveling whenever I desire, I hate that I now must go through a bloody court to get permission. I'm nearly a century old, I don't need permission.

QUESTION TWO: what is your favorite part about the island? 

It is quite interesting and unique to be living in a place with so many different species, and it is quite nice knowing that vampires have more of a sway over the court than others do.

QUESTION THREE: if your character is supernatural, do they fear humans? if human, do they fear the supernatural? 

Not necessarily, or not anymore. He's worse than any human.

QUESTION FOUR: share a fun headcanon or fact about your character! this doesn’t have to be long, just something to introduce us to your character! 

Silas is the younger brother to Lazarus, growing up they were relatively close and they might've even said they loved one another. Deep down, that love is still there, though they'd never admit it now, but one might be able to guess given how they still live in close enough proximity after a near century.

ADDITIONAL HEADCANON

Sanguine Sonata is the name of his blood-infused wine.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

more family members

enemy with benefits?

perhaps someone that he's somewhat friends with in the rogue pack

etc

11 ¼

fine morning hard frost F39 ½° at 8 just before lighting my fire – breakfast at 9 5 in an hour with my father and Marian soon came – at my desk at 10 10 - wrote 2 ½ pages to Dr Belcombe – really know not what to write or should have written sooner - ‘I never exactly understood before what nervousness meant and God grant that I may know no more of it in any case which concerns me much! nothing could be more judicious than your letter to Mr Sunderland’ – he a great friend of Dr Paley’s – paid not give me a vote of thanks for taking Miss W- to Dr Belcombe  ‘All I can say is, she really seems to prefer you as a medical man to all who have ever attended her, and that if I had time for nursing, I think our united efforts might be of service - but I am a young practitioner and my courage us much abated - it is dreary to combat sickness without disease, and misery without reason – medicals come [9.S.] from Mr Sunderland; but all I hear is that you and he are agreed as to the course to be pursued - I am to count the letters you have written, for the purpose of taking care that your pen shall not have laboured in vain. It is some satisfaction to me that you will ,at least be remembered, as among the cleverest and most agreeable of medicinae doctores and, should you be applied to when I am gone, I am sure you will do the best that such a case admits, in which the manner will do more than medicine, is the maxima veritas et praevalebit [the greatest truth will prevail]’ – would try to make time for another day on in, if I thought, it would do any good but my hopes not sanguine – will however, on my own account, see them all again if I am before my leaving England – but fear being kept here ‘till the utmost limit of my time, the end of this month or very beginning of the next – anxious to be off. ‘May this new year be felix ter et amplius [happy three times more]!

[esperata]

hey hey, 2, 3, 4 and 7 for the writer asks! <3

2. What is your favourite fic of yours?

Wow, it is difficult to choose between them so I am going to select three favourites. These are ones I would regularly choose to read myself. First up is the comic riddlebird story “in sanguine veritas” which actually offers an outside persepctive on the relationship.

Next I’d pick “Take These Broken Wings” which focuses on the 2004 cartoon riddlebird getting together. I enjoy the tone of this one and its a verion of the pair I generally enjoy.

Third, I’d select “Arkham Games” which I’m proud of for managing to depict a gruffer variation and still make their relationship feel genuine. Again its a version of Penguin I enjoy so it has that allure as well.

3. What fic of yours do you think is underrated?

I’m going to pick one that I expected to get more views than it did, even though I understand why it didn’t, “Pumpkin King”. This is a hattercrow fic before they get togeher and thus doesn’t have the lure of the romance part yet. I intended to continue it but got disheartened. Though perhaps its best open ended.

4. What fic of yours were you surprised by how popular it was?

That has to be my most popular fic by kudos, “That’s Amore”. While I’m aware the MCU had a very big fandom compared to what I’m used to, it still throws me how keen people were for this Thor/Bruce fic. I’ll never hit that kind of success again.

7. How do you edit your fics? What do you look for in your edits?

Ooh interesting question. In shorter fics this can be summarised generally as a basic spelling and grammar check. If I’m writing a drabble then I’ll do a word count check and generally they need editing to bring it down to 100. Occasionally fics need some changes of phrasing so the flow is smoother. Too many short sentences sound choppy but lengthy text can be confusing.

Longer fics tend to require additional work since there is often a *plan* and I need to make sure I have actually conveyed what I wanted. Sometimes this is an emotional moment or a twist reveal and if the pacing is off then this can fall flat. Therefore there may be the necessity of padding. That’s also necessary if I’ve jumped too quickly ahead for it to feel natural and I will interject more dialogue or scene exposition to slow things down.

On the occasions I am writing a really long fic, continuity has to be checked as well. I will often takes notes on a read through to fact check myself so when I go back I can confirm if I did in fact set up the point I later reference. I have had a beta reader go over chapters and suggest edits which then mean major overhauls and moving blocks of text around so it makes better sense. Then I really do have to check continuity and pacing.

Of course sometimes I will have a simply brilliant idea which I need to edit in and I just need to shuffle bits around so it slots in seemlessly. My nanowrimo fic which is very long has an actual notebook dedicated to helping me keep track. I have notes to check terminology used, ideas I want to remember to include later, references to videos that might help, notes on what I need to go back and redraft and also a suggestion to change a character name.

So yeah, lots of rereads, copious notes and smooth flowing text.

[ponderousorb]

So my ideas here are looking at all of the characters wearing the similar marais garb and masks and coming up with shared traits for them: ashy or outright grey skin, unusual eyes, prominent nose, long face. Maleigh is a bit different looking to the others so I tried to work that back into taking more after his mother. We know the men of the Marais line seem to have a hereditary issue, that they're prone to being sickly, so I created Belladonna to give an example of what a Marais without that going on might look like. She marries into House Hoslow which is like, one of the only other named houses? I think? I feel like both houses are very ASOIAF themed lol, I gave them mottos. House Marais: In Venenis, Veritas - in venom, truth House Hoslow: Scriptum est in Sanguine - It is written in the Blood

WIP progress on House Marais family tree - the next gen aka any relevant characters are coming soon, and the gen before Arsene I am trying to fill in the gaps between canon characters They have theme names for the characters I got to name lol. Most are plants and poisons Thallium and Ivy are Thiollier's parents making Maleigh his uncle who everyone despairs over bc he has let the castle go to ruin because he simped for Malenia too much

Tag Dump

[phantomlordreshiram]

Since I'm fascinated by the Daedra of the Elder Scrolls series, I decided to make a daedric prince character of my own! Here's a summary.

Name: Veritas Timoria (Veritas is Latin for Truth, Timoria is greek for Punishment)

Daedric Prince of Truth, Honesty, and Punishment.

Depicted as a pale man in blue robes, holding a book in one hand, a flame in the other, and a ball and chain attached to his ankle.

Personality: Has a zealous hatred for liars of any kind. Will punish said liars by burning them with an intense fire. Has an interest in mortal affairs, much like Sanguine.

Plane of Oblivion: Much like Hermaeus Mora, Veritas' plane is filled with books. Instead of the intimidating plane of Apocrypha, this plane is rather warm and comforting.

Morality: Despite being one of the more "morally virtuous" Daedra (according to Mortals), Veritas is neutral. This is because they will punish liars no matter their reason or morality.

Daedric Artifact: Cutlass of Truth (a sword with flames emitting from the cutting edge).

1. Do You Mind?

This was the culmination of a project started nearly a decade earlier with my first DC fanfic and it turned out even better than I could have hoped.

2. in sanguine veritas

Despite being a prompt that I prevaricated over for ages, I actually love this. Just rogues being friends and living their own lives.

3. Take These Broken Wings

The Batman 2004 cartoon deserves more love and I was always determined to write riddlebird for it. This conveyed exactly what I wanted and I re-read it myself.

4. Thé Bakery

Combining hattercrow and riddlebird, and using so many genders and sexualities, this really was a labour of love.

5. Feathers, Flight and Song

Working from the inspirational artwork of @yanderebeat, this was the first time I wrote a gender swapped version. It was great fun and I was really pleased with the end result.

TASK 003.

BASIC INFORMATION

Full Name: Amelia Susan Bones. 

Nickname(s): Am, Amy, Mel, Lia. 

Age: 20. 

Date of Birth: 12 April 1958. 

Hometown: London, England. 

Current Location: London, England. 

Gender: Female. 

Blood Status: Half-Blood. 

Pronouns: She/Her. 

Orientation: Bisexual. 

Religion: Agnostic. 

Affiliation(s): Order of the Phoenix. 

Occupation: Auror Trainee, Ministry of Magic. 

Living Arrangements: Shares a two-story with other aurors-to-be, as is required of all trainees. Once her training is completed, she’ll be moving back in with Edgar until she settles into a flat of her own (although he is currently unaware of these plans). 

Language(s) Spoken: English, French (semi-fluent). 

Accent: British/Cockney. 

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Face Claim: Zoey Deutch. 

Hair Colour: Brunette, with auburn highlights. 

Eye Colour: Hazel. 

Height: 5′4″. 

Weight: 49 kg. 

Build: Petite, with slight muscular tone in her arms and legs. 

Tattoos: A butterfly on her right wrist, and a bumblebee on her left one. She also has a tattoo that reads ‘Veritas Aequitas’ (Truth and Justice), which spreads across her lower ribcage. 

Piercings: None. She’s just never been particular inclined to piercings, particularly now that she’s about to be an Auror. 

Clothing Style: Amelia has always preferred comfort over couture. The contents of her wardrobe consist of oversized shirts, an abundance of jeans and pant suits, for the rare occasion that more formal attire is required. 

Usual Expression: Having always believed that a day without laughter is a day wasted, Amelia is found with a beaming smile on her face, more often than not. Animated and authentic in her expressions, her facial features are reflective of whatever emotions are brewing just beneath the surface. 

Distinguishing Characteristics: While there is much about Amelia that distinguishes herself from others of her likeness, the most common is the colour of her hair. The latter is something that she changes with considerable regularity, whereas there is little than can be done to change the former, apart from wearing high heels (and she’d sooner be caught dead than wear those). 

HEALTH

Physical Ailments: N/A. 

Neurological Conditions: N/A. 

Allergies: Dust, pollen, and anything that comes with the changing of the seasons. She also is allergic to dairy, although it only really bothers her if she consumes products where it is highly concentrated. 

Sleeping Habits: It is all or nothing, when it comes to Amelia’s sleep patterns. She will go for days sleeping for maybe 5 hours a night, and then crashes for an upwards of 12 hours (usually on the weekends or after a night of pub-crawling with Edgar). She is also known to fall asleep just about anywhere, and does so quite frequently. 

Eating Habits: Having to maintain some degree of mindfulness about her diet because of her job, she tries to fuel her body the way it needs to be. She’s also got a massive sweet tooth and a killer metabolism, both of which don’t particularly lend themselves to making the most nutritious of choices. 

Exercise Habits:  Since she was a small child, Amelia has never been able to stay in the same place for very long. It is rare and entirely uncommon for Amelia to go a day without exercising, whether that is through her training drills with Alastor or early-morning races with Edgar. Part of her consistent fitness routine is due to professional obligation, but a bigger part of it has to do with the fact that she truly enjoys being active.

Emotional Stability: 8/10. While not without her struggles in this area (particularly in light of the challenges of adulthood and the growing war), Amelia has always been adaptable and well-adjusted, and her emotional well-being is reflective of that. 

Sociability: Coming from a relatively big family and an equally large social circle, Amelia can count on her right hand the number she has actually been alone, and she much prefers it that way. The very definition,

Body Temperature: Cold, cold, cold. Definitely sleeps with three comforters in the middle of August. 

Addictions: Caffeine. She has also started to develop a slight dependency on calming draughts, although her need is far cry from an addiction. 

Drug Use: Pot, and nothing more. Her usage is strictly recreational, and the instances where she does light up are few and far between. 

Alcohol Use: Amelia drinks with some regularly (about 2-3 nights a week), although her indulging is mostly a social matter. She has acquired a taste for hard liquor since her training started and has a relatively generous stock of whiskey and bourbon at the flat.  

PERSONALITY

Label: The Audacious, The Recruit, The Truth-Seeker

Positive Traits: Audacious | Strong-Willed | Virtuous

Negative Traits: Competitive | Impatient | Stubborn

Goals/Desires: A free-spirit to her core, she is too preoccupied with what is in front of her to consider what will be in front of her one, two or five years down the road. But if she had to name one, it would be to play a part in helping win the war, and to secure a future worth living for her friends and family.  

Fears: Being alone, dark and confined spaces, spiders and thunderstorms. 

Hobbies: Quidditch, Exploding Snap, weekly visits to the pub and spending time doors (especially running, swimming and playing football). 

Habits: Cursing, hitting people when she gets excited, tapping her right foot and smoothing her hair, in the odd event its not in some form of an updo. 

FAVOURITES

Season: Summer. 

Colour: Purple. 

Music: Queen, or ABBA when she and Edgar go out for karaoke. 

Movies: The Aristocats. Edgar and Amelia still bond over this film regularly. 

Quidditch Team: Puddlemere United, despite Edgar’s constant attempts to persuade her that the Chudley Cannons are the far superior team. 

Beverage: A woman of varied tastes, it all depends on her mood. Sometimes she fancies a shot of Dragon Barrel Brandy, whereas others she prefers a glass of elderflower wine. 

Food: Literally anything from Mum’s kitchen. On any given day, the leftovers from her weekly visits home comprise about 90% of the contents of her fridge. 

Person: Edgar Bones.

FAMILY

Father: Jacob Bones, 60. The apple of his eye,  There is just something about the relationship between a father and his daughter, particularly when she is the only one of his children who is female. 

Mother: Amira Bones (nee Proudmore), 59. While they are the spitting image of one another, there isn’t much else they have in common. Their relationship was a bit tumultuous during Amelia’s teenage years, but their dynamic has since 

Sibling(s): 

Nicholas Bones, 24. They have never gotten on - not as kids, and definitely not now. Out of all the Bones siblings, their relationship is the most contemptuous, and she can’t stand the sight of him. 

Jeremiah Bones, 23. Their relationship is indifferent at best. She doesn’t dislike him, but she’s not going out of her way to spend time with him, either. For whatever reason, they just never seemed to click. 

Edgar Bones, 22. Best friend, closest confidante and favourite sibling, all rolled into one. Amelia could never contemplate the idea of an existence without Edgar, and their relationship is the most important one in her life. 

Children: None. 

Pet(s): 

Othello, an Eagle Owl. A gift from her father when she turned 11. 

Toulouse, a Munchkin cat. Warm and affectionate, he really lives up to the name of his breed. 

Family’s Financial Status: Her family is more financially set than most, but Amelia has always been conservatively modest when it comes to the matter of money. She could rely on their financial support with no issue, but instead chooses to support herself on her own income/resources.

Lecture, évasion et fanfiction

La lecture m'aide énormément à m'évader et à oublier mes différentes maladies.

Quand j'étais petitx apparemment je n'aimais pas lire. Et puis une personne de la famille m'a passæ la trilogie A la croisée des mondes de Philip Pullman, j'avais 8 ans et je suis devenux unæ monstrueureuse dévoreureuse de livres.

Comme beaucoup de personnes à cette époque j'ai été grandement marquæ par la série de roman Harry Potter de J.K Rowling. J'aime énormément cet univers qui est très important pour moi mais je suis incapable de relire les livres. Déjà y a l'autrice qui s'illustre pour sa transphobie et son soutien des TERF et ensuite j'ai essayé des les relire et j'ai trouvé ça assez enfantin et pas très bien écrit (alors que je relis toujours A la croisée des mondes avec plaisir, il y a une profondeur et une double lecture très appréciable quand on est adulte).

Par contre ce que je trouve toujours génial dans cet univers c'est ce que les fans ont créé autour, notamment les fanfictions. J'en trouve certaines bien mieux que l'œuvre originale. Du coup je vais vous partager mes favorites (elles sont toutes en français, finies et sur le site fanfiction.net). Je précise les couples non canon qui peuvent déranger certaines personnes.
