Spoilers for the 2.1 main story quest <3

I really don't have it in me to properly verbalize it rn because I'm still processing everything and we only have bits and pieces of the whole story as well as how Aventurine is as a person but. What really gets me is how Aventurine is someone who hasn't had any stability or promise of safety in his life whatsoever. He's faced loss after loss, was bought as a slave, had to fight for his life multiple times. He's told he's the lucky one, the one chosen by Gaiathra Triclops. He saw his community and family nearly be wiped out and as the future him says- he lies to himself nonstop to try and curb the fear of losing more. "You put on a mask of confidence and lie to convince even yourself, but under the table you hang on to your chips for dear life."

Aventurine has to do all that he has to do because he simply has no choice. Either he acts or he dies. He's forced to weave a web of connections and half truths- even outright lies- and balance delicately upon it. He's forced to always be three steps ahead of his enemy. He tries to treat it as a game- all or nothing- when in truth he lives in terror of losing it all. He smiles and smiles when he's trying to run from his grief and fear. How far can he run? What choice does he have? Does he even have any choices to begin with?

So the fact that he serves Qlipoth, the Preservation, and the fact that his gameplay is ridiculously plain- you use his skill, not even his ult, just his skill- to put a shield on you and your entire party. It's that easy, to have that option- to preserve what you have. It's not a gamble, not even close. That shield has a guarantee to it, it's constant- as long as you use his skill, he will protect your entire party. It really gets to me in a way I can't verbalize right now. That that's what he really wants- permanence, safety. A guarantee

I'm working on my next smau (spoilers under the cut if you're interested) and in the meantime, I want to work on some fake texts (as well as some written surprises here and there that I've been working on)! But I just want to know, what kind of texts do y'all prefer from me? 💕

Current post date is to be determined. I have the profiles finished, some teaser chapters, and an outline for the prologue. Even with just that finished, I can promise you this will be a rollercoaster of emotions, you'll hate every character at least once, and things will not go the way you expect.

~

This is a project I started a long time ago, scrapped, rewrote, and am trying it again, this time with more toxic storylines 😅

Regardless, I'm excited to share this story, and everything else I share along the way! Much to look out for friends, I hope you enjoy it all 💕

Hero if you want to keep being my favorite white boi you better tell me where in the fresh hell did you get that song about someone's daughter and her noble black hair and her pair of black eyes and—

What I'm trying to say is that the damn song is stuck in my head so you tell me where to find it or you post that section of the episode as a song on the Spotify so I can fucking add to my playlist

Damn. I looked over and over for this song and found nothing but the bees.

At the risk of securing myself in your affections forever, that song did not exist until I wrote it ✨😎

I can't add it to Spotify unfortunately but you can download it as an MP3 or a WAV on this post.

Also, when I say I can't upload it it's because I don't have Spotify or the time/inclination to work out how to do it, but I do think it's possible for normal users to upload songs so feel free (as long as you don't like... take my name off it and steal the credit lmao)

[swampndn]

Damn y'all. I thought I was doing okay, but I've been having nonstop stress dreams. My period is wacky as hell. I'm not hungry (which is normal, but like what is not is that I'll eat 2 or 3 bites of something and feel completely full and sick if I try to eat more than that).

What is happening to me???

Fun With Fics

Rules: Pick any ten of your fics, scroll roughly to the midpoint, pick a line (or three) and share it. Then tag ten people.

(I got tagged a while back and just remembered, lol. I am using a random number generator to pick the fics for this)

Single Parenting 101.

Jaime knew he should allow her some privacy, but he couldn’t resist peeking at the phone to see the girl—Brienne’s daughter, who looked to be around eight or nine. She was also Renly Baratheon’s daughter as she was the spitting image of him, except for her eyes. Renly’s were a bluish-green, whereas this girl’s were just like her mother’s.

2. Christmas Wrapping.

Trust Renly to bring ultrasound pics on a boat outing.  He probably had fifty copies in case he lost a few.

Renly plopped down beside her again and thrust them at her.  “Aren’t they gorgeous?”

Brienne stared at them, wishing she could think anything besides they look like alien life forms, what the hell.  Renly rattled on about 3D technology enabling them to get lifelike images, and didn’t she think that baby A—the girl—looked like Loras, while baby B—the boy—looked like he was going to have Renly’s chin?

3. Single Dad Dating 102.

Jaime held the door for Brienne as she walked into Martyn’s, then took her coat and was rewarded by the sight of the back of the blue blouse she’d changed into after Maggy was gone. The front, which all he’d seen because of the coat, was relatively modest, but dipped low in the back, revealing her back, covered with freckles.

He rather liked them.

4. they don't know about the things we do.

Jaime wonders if he should suggest that they finally tell people about them. It probably won’t deter Renly from trying to interfere with their lunches, but if they go public and Brienne puts her foot down, then maybe…

He won’t deny that he’s enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game of keeping their friends from finding out, but a growing part of him wants to be acknowledged as Brienne’s boyfriend.

5. you who know what love is.

Brienne Tarth would never be beautiful, or pretty, or even considered handsome. Despite the perfection of her dress, her looks remained as they always were. But after she made her curtsey to King Rhaegar and Queen Elia, both of whom smiled approvingly at her, she walked through the throng of people in the ballroom looking like a goddess, her strength coupled with her now evident femininity making her the love child of the Warrior and the Maiden.

6. Trust Me with You.

She lowered her hands and tried to work up the courage to ask if she could see him. But almost as if he heard her, he shrugged out of his suit jacket and dropped it to the floor. His fingers went to his vest and made quick work of the six buttons, then his tie. It wasn’t until he started unbuttoning his white dress shirt that Brienne noticed that his fingers were trembling.

7. and we could be enough.

Jaime turned to help with the task and a moment later, a snowball smacked him in the back of the head.

“Unfair, wench!” he shouted, but Brienne was not behind him as he thought.  He looked to see who might have done it, but the only person there was Sansa, smiling at him innocently with her hands tucked behind her back before she nodded and walked away.

Jaime supposed he deserved that.  He tried not to smile as he helped with the cleanup.

8. but no one knows it's only me.

It shouldn’t be possible. Jaime’s done a great deal of research in the eight years since he took over being the Librarian, and there’s never been a single instance of a superhero being able to use telekinesis by remote. Even Tyrion has to physically go to his location to be able to use his power, and he’s the most powerful telekinetic on record.

By the time she’s finished, Joanna’s face is deathly pale, her eyes are dull, and she sways on her feet. Jaime scoops her up and sits on the couch, holding her tightly.

9. Reprise.

The video starts with the usual hysterical screaming. Jaime stands there with a sad smile on his face as he waits for the fans to settle. Then he begins playing. He doesn’t try to do too much with it, doesn’t turn it into something wild or funky or discordant. He just stands there and plays her song, eyes lowered to his guitar as though he’s alone rather than in front of thousands of fans who are mostly silent as he plays, until the final note dies away and they scream in ecstasy.

Brienne struggles to breathe as she stares at the screen, now frozen on the enigmatic look on Jaime’s face after he raised his head to the crowd. She looks over at him now, and she knows he knows what she’s just seen.

10. there seems to have been some disturbance here.

“Is there a particular moment you want me to interrupt? Are they going for the traditional cloaking and vows to the Seven ceremony?”

Galladon snorts. “Of course not. That’s what Brienne wanted, but Hyle felt that that was too paganistic. They’re going for the modern revised Ceremony of the Seven.”

“So I should show up right after the septon asks if someone has an objection?” Might as well go for the most melodramatic moment of the whole ceremony.

LOL! Mostly the smaller stuff came up--let's hear it for the random number generator! I think the links work. If all else fails, you can find me at cardinalgirl75 on AO3.
