Cocky Serana Time? Cocky Serana Time

I actually debated whether or not I should participate in WIP Wednesday this week . . . but I caved. And while I do have a very nice 'heeheehoohoo' Virana scene, maybe that can be something I share here next week if I'm still picking away at my currently very hated chapter. I love the idea that Serana takes the most pride in her necromancy prowess and got the idea to showcase it here because, while she's lovingly resurrecting every two seconds in my game, she hasn't done so as much in my fanfiction. And I had to remedy that immediately, so. Hope you enjoy. ❤

The elf walked past. Serana silently stalked after him, fangs dug into her lip. She crept closer to him with every step, his words reduced to soft, careless whistles that echoed off the walls, unaware of the vampire that carefully stood up and lifted her razor—

Serana plunged the blade of her dagger deep into his back, just to the left of his spine. She twisted, then ripped it out; blood gushed from the gaping wound. He turned with a suffocating gasp as the torch clattered to the floor; his eyes lingered on her just long enough for her to witness the last whispers of life fade from his gaze.

Just before his knees buckled beneath his dead weight, Serana extended out her cold hand and cast a spell. The violet and indigo-tinged wisp spiralled from her fingertips and struck the Altmer’s body—it immediately became stiff and rigid. Shades of nightshade stained his vacant eyes, his soul tethered, chained, anchored to the once empty host against its will. She curled her fingers in as she dropped her hand; the zombie relaxed instantly, his head bowed in obedience. A smirk of pride stretched her pale lips.

“What the fuck was the point of this again?”

Serana folded her arms and turned, only to find Vigdis already beside her with a glare.

“This,” she began, “is going to make it a lot easier to sneak around. He’ll be able to tell me when there’s trouble—and his friends won’t even notice that he’s actually dead.”

With a simple wave of her hand, the corpse retrieved his torch and resumed his natural stance from before. The puppet’s invisible strings hung loosely from her fingers, his calm façade a sign that there were currently no other Thalmor agents nearby.

“This is fucking stupid,” the hunter muttered pessimistically.

“I don’t suppose you have a better idea?” Serana questioned, a fiery and challenging edge in her voice. When the redhead only narrowed her icy eyes and huffed defeatedly in response, Serana quirked her dark brow, smug. “I didn’t think so.”

“Personally I think it’s impressive,” Wynn piped up. “I’ve never seen someone perform necromancy so flawlessly before.”

The vampire grinned slightly, then shrugged. “It’s a simple trick, really. Child’s play.”

“Ooo, cocky!” The thief smirked, a flirtatious glint in her jaspilite eyes. “I like it.”

Brazil mining watch

Brazilian miner Vale maintained its 2023 iron ore, copper and nickel guidance of 310Mt-320Mt, 335,000t-370,000t and 160,000t-175,000t.

In 2022, Vale's iron ore production fell 1.6% to 307,790Mt, while sales fell 3.8% to 260,663Mt. The fall in production was "mainly due to licensing delays at Serra Norte and jaspilite waste processing and operational performance at S11D," according to a press release.

Eco Mining acquired iron ore exploration rights in Riacho do Moreno, Bahia state, for an undisclosed amount, in this year’s first tender launched by Bahia state company CBPM.

Axia Mineração assumed a copper exploration contract for the Bom Jardim de Goiás project. If it advances, the company wants to invest 100mn reais (US$19.7mn), according to a press release by the mines and energy ministry.

𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞;

Wynn was the third child born to an upper class family in Lillandril, who were rich due to their shipbuilding business. As a middle child, she was often overlooked by her parents and overshadowed by her older, more successful siblings. She had a cousin that she often played--and got into trouble--with. At a young age she had a tendency to steal jewellery from extended family members, a habit that she perfected over the years. Eventually, her mother tried to set her up with a high-ranking Thalmor Justicar, and Wynn realised that her previously enjoyed freedom was in jeopardy. In secret, she had a ship built and hired a crew, then took to the seas to become a pirate--and to live the free life she so desired. After many years sailing the ocean, Wynn was caught and jailed in Windhelm. Her first mate rescued her, only to inform her that her ship had been destroyed and her crew had disbanded. Disheartened by this news, Wynn went to Riften in search of refuge. After Wynn worked in Haelga's Bunkhouse for some months, her underhanded thieving had grabbed the attention of Brynjolf after Haelga complained. Now Wynn happily steals on behalf of the Thieves Guild--and gets paid for it, too.

𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬;

❂ Wynnarwe makes an appearance in my sequel fanfiction, Breathless, in Chapter 6, The Gathering Storm, and Chapter 7, A Delicate Extraction. ❂ Her full name is Wynnarwe Elsinael ‘len Joriael Taena Anaelion ‘ata Sivrien Kaenoril Ranimare ‘cal Camahl-Thramire. ❂ Wynn had a brief love affair with Svana Fair-Shield, which earned her extreme disapproval from Haelga. Despite that, she still, occasionally, visited Svana--until the auburn informed Wynn that she and Ingun had unexpectedly become an item. ❂ She also slept with Brynjolf. For business reasons, of course. ❂ She typically uses her whip or whatever is on hand in the moment to fight if she has no other choice. This has led her to use silverware and even a stick in previous situations. ❂ Wynn owns a manor in Riften that has secret access to Shadowfoot Sanctum, which grants her a more discreet and direct entry into The Ragged Flagon. ❂ During discussions with Nocturnal, Wynn offered herself up as a consort rather than a guardian of the Skeleton Key after she dies. To everyone's surprise, the Daedric Prince found this amusing, and agreed. ❂ Wynn's flower crown has gold kanet flowers, juniper berries, and redwort flowers. ❂ She's ambidextrous--and incredibly proud of this fact. ❂ Wynn's eyes are akin to jaspilites. ❂ She's gone through the most character changes. She was originally blonde, then brunette, then blonde again. She also used to be named Aerwynn. ❂ She had a drink with Sanguine once. Although it was supposed to be A Night to Remember, she doesn't remember much at all--only the headache of a quest that followed. ❂ After Sapphire gifted her with a gem of the same name, Wynnarwe had Madesi craft an earring with it, which she wears all the time.

Do you know about Jace and Carrington?

“Carjac? I’ll be honest, I don’t know all the details, but I did see a lil’ somethin’ going on there. They’re cute.”

[penname-artist]

I'm hooked onto this idea I have done zero actual content for help me

Despite his charismatic disposition, Dalmatian Jasper is a wimp and is scared of so much, particularly gem things, which he's very unfamiliar with.

Despite his literal position as a guardian of the Diamonds, Hematite is ALSO a wimp. At least towards human stuff.

Jas actually wandered off from his home in the Beta Kindergarten, which is why he knows hardly anything of the gems. For whatever reason, when he was formed he had no prior understanding of what he was meant to do or why, and with no one around anymore to ask, he - yes very much like amethyst - kinda just left

I didn't intend their story to be in or around the canon SU timeline (it's kinda just its own AU as it is) but if it had to connect, I guess both gems are Era 2, so this is all happening somewhere during the period of time before the Rose Quartz and Crystal Gems deal. (Let's not think about the fact that this means they might have been in the line of fire when earth gems were corrupted)

The only reason they met in the first place is because Hem got lost and his ship crashed in the middle of BFE, Earth, and Jasper was like heyyyyy-

In case you are wondering: both of them are...trans? I guess?? I mean all gems are female by default but Jas is like, kinda just vibing with being a he/him because the humans think he's that. As for Hem, well. The same applies, but only after meeting Jas and discovering the world around them, and himself.

Jaspilite is their most common form of...well, anything. It's a comfort to both of them, in a world so strange. Once they finally come to a point of figuring out they can fuse, they only very rarely find themselves apart.

Jaspilite doesn't go by Jas since that's Dalmatian Jasper's common nickname, and plus he doesn't have many people he knows well enough to give him nicknames. He's just, you know. Jaspilite. Ripped jeans and rock music.

Oh but make no mistake that he's very soft, too. That's kinda Hem's fault mainly. What can I say, they're softies. Jas is there to be their comforting hug.

The way that their gem locations are designed, the two are at either side of the same exact spot in the center of the torso, one in front and one in back. In a way, it's like Romeo and Juliet; you can't shatter one without shattering the other in the process.

Yes they're gay duh

Cherish

first fic in a fat minute. hope you enjoy. 

Pairing: Trans!Kili x Nonbinary/GN Reader

Words: 759

Warnings: Nudity (nothing smutty though), A little steamy at first but not sexual, and its implied that kili is insecure, but there’s nowhere that mentions it outright. in fact, i don't even think one reading it would assume that’s the issue.

Tags: @midearthwritings @grunid

     Your hands worked their way down Kili’s back, massaging out the tension and knots, the stress of both the blade and the court drawing him as taunt as the sting of his bow. Steam from the bath floated and curled around you both as you sat behind him. You supposed that was one good thing about living in a forge-city. There was never an absence of hot water, even in the middle of winter. Kili sighed as you rubbed back up his spine, and without much thought, you leaned forward to place a kiss on the back of his shoulder. A small sound escaped Kili’s throat, something caught between a whimper and a moan, and you smiled against his skin, kissing up the muscle of his shoulder to the soft skin and stubble of his neck. Unfortunately, he moved away before you could do much else.

Brows crossing, your face formed a pout at his withdrawal, but you didn’t protest, instead collecting a bottle of fine pressed jojoba oil and lathering your hands with it before rubbing it into the Prince’s scalp. The traders from Haradrim had made their way to the Dale markets a month or so before, and you had wasted no time in exchanging gold for the precious oils. But your mind was soon back on Kili, for something seemed amiss. Whether it was how he had drawn away from you earlier, or how he seemed to tense under your touch, you did not know, but what truly mattered was trying to coax and answer out of him.

“Is there anything troubling you, Kurdûn?” You asked, slowing the movements of your fingers and waiting for his response. He answered far too quickly, a swift no, and that was all. You stopped your motion entirely before tugging his head up to look at you. He was so perfect like this, wet bangs plastered to his forehead and temples, freshly cleaned of grime and dust, his eyes gazing up at you. They were the color of rich jaspilite, beautiful and dark and warm, and so warm were they that if you stared into them long enough, you were quite sure you would melt.

“I don’t believe you,” you said, hands trailing down to cup his cheeks, thumbs rubbing up and down his scruff, “not when you seem so far apart from yourself. Do you wish to speak to me about it?”

The Prince hesitated, taking a breath. Steam still swirled around you and Kili, and the whirls dissipated after hitting skin, breaking apart into different directions before entirely disappearing. Letting out his breath, Kili shook his head.

“I’d rather not,” he muttered. However, he did reach up towards your face, pulling you down so your lips could meet. It was a soft kind of pleasure, loving one another in this way. When the time seemed right, you broke away, leaving a trail of kisses along his cheeks, his nose, over his eyelids, and finally his forehead.

No other words were spoken as you finished bathing him. You helped him dry off, and wrung the wetness out of his locks before kneeling behind him to braid his hair down the back. His bangs were kept free of the plait, the damp strands reflecting like copper in the candlelight. When you had finished, the Prince turned to you and stroked your cheek.

“I love you… more than anything.” he said simply. Quite suddenly, he stood, lifting you with him in the process. At this point, after all your time spent with him, it hardly surprised you with how easily he was able to carry you.

Not long after, you were laying on your bed, both in fresh nightclothes, the quilts piled around you. One of your hands traced the stitches, plucking them here and there, and the other rubbed Kili’s back gently. Whilst you were propped up against the pillows, the Prince rested his head upon your heart, eyes half-closed as he let himself drift asleep. Your breathing was nearly matched, and the only sounds beyond that were the steady crackling of the logs in the fireplace. You watched as one of the logs shifted, a flurry of sparks ascending and a sharp ‘pop’ splitting the air. Kili stirred and lifted his head, blinking at the sudden noise, before you placed your hand in his hair and guided him back down to rest.

“Rest now, my beautiful mizimelûh.”

You cherished the way he nestled his head under your chin, and smiled as you felt him drift into sleep.

Kurdûn: Man of my Heart

MIzimelûh: Jewel of all Jewel’s

Character thoughts on being called the long/formal variants of their given names? Johnathan, Mary-Elizabeth, Llewellyn, Patricia, and uh... Jaspillite

John, upon being called Johnathan:

He appreciates the thought in tryna lend him a little extra dignity, but points out that he was, by all accounts, born a four-letter word from the start, and he intends to remain so 'til death, if it's all the same.

Marybeth, if called Mary-Elizabeth:

Sparrow, upon being called Llewellyn:

Having never actually been called by his formal, full name, he probably would be puzzled and a little amused, depending on the intent of the speaker.

Patti, if called Patricia:

Will ask to be called Patti if she likes you. If she doesn't, it's Miss Gutiérrez, please.

Jasper, if called Jaspillite:

Points out that jaspillite (also spelled jaspilite) is, in fact, a banded ironstone comprised of both jasper and hematite, and therefore isn't quite analogous to a long-form version of his given first name. He proposes potential alternatives iaspi, the Greek word (meaning "spotted stone") from which the name jasper was derived; chalcedony, as the mineral class (quartzes) jasper belongs to; or, alternately, SiO2, the formula for silicon dioxide, which comprises the bulk of jasper's composition-- although jasper is by nature an impure form, and therefore... He will by then have lost track of what started him on that path, and ask you to kindly repeat the question.

I was visiting Duluth MN this weekend, and went swimming in Lake Superior. In the water I found these unique red and purpley rocks with bright silver stripes, though they are brighter when wet. Looking them up, they might be Jaspilite maybe, but while similar it still dosnt quite match the pictures. Anyone know what these are?
