Today, I played croquet while wearing an empire waist maxi dress and my Kate Sharma spencer jacket. Is this how the other half lives?

Confessional... things get complicated when you're a ghost.

@i-am-as-normal-as-you-are asked for, and this is a literal quote, "R!Edwin going to a confessional (full angst)" so yeah... full angst indeed.

5 hours and then the year is OVER, I have entire weeks to write and paint and indulge all of my nonsense. 5 hours. That's NOTHING. I can do that.

I see a lot of “I love habit” and not enough of “Every time I am reminded of habit’s existence all I can imagine is that he’s this silly little guy, the kind that can fit in your hands, and he looks up at me with his big glossy eyes and his twisted little smile and I smile back and then pull out a cartoonishly large mallet and we truly emulate tom and jerry except this time good ol’ tom wins and I bash him repeatedly with my mallet until he is mush.” and I think that should change

So, this may be the most wild impulse buy I've ever made. A croquet set. I've never played any derivative of croquet in my life. No pink one, but it has Mallet of Death black and everything!

The Betrayed God

Fandom: Fourth Wing -- The Empyrean

(No spoilers for IF)

Pairing: Violet/Xaden--Riorgail, Violet/Malek--Mallet, Malek and his Bride

Rating: T

Summary:

The legends talk about three brothers and about one of them betraying them all. But that is only half of the story. The darker half is yet to be told. Setup for a (possible) story in which Xaden is Malek trapped in a human body and Violet his lost bride.

(AO3)

AN: This originates from a crack theory formed in a group chat, about Violet being Malek's bride and-- to keep our OTP--about Xaden being Malek in human form. So, of course, my mind started spinning, and this is what came out. The dark legend that might, eventually, lead to a full story.

. o O o .

The legends say that defeating the armies of the Barrens came at the highest of all prices. It cost the winners everything.

But what was this price they paid? Why do none of the ancient documents talk about it? And who paid this highest of prices? 

Come. Come here. Come here and sit down with me. Let me tell you what happened, the tragic story of betrayal, of loss, of heartbreak, and of a debt we humans won’t ever be able to repay.

Let me tell you the story of Malek, God of Death, and of the forgotten Goddess of Life that once stood by his side. 

You’ve heard the legend of the three brothers, of how two of them rose to power and how the third turned to the forbidden gift. Of how they managed to defeat him, in the end. What those stories never talk about, however, is the deal the oldest brother was willing to strike in order to win. For he was the one truly hungering for power beyond anything else, and in his greed, he stopped at nothing. With no regards for the lives it cost, he ordered his most powerful wielders to forge a device that, upon activation, would cleanse the land of all dark abominations, a miracle, their salvation. 

But magic likes all things in balance. And it is not the wielder who determines the price. 

Unwilling to pay the price that would be asked, the eldest brother came up with a cunning plan, a plan so audacious that no historian dared to write it down. They said he wielded the powers of the sky. But what are the powers of the sky if not the Gods themselves? And he wielded them perfectly…

With feigned subservience, he lured them in, offering devotion and sacrifices for centuries to come. And vain as the Gods were, they accepted his promises. They fought at his side against the dark horde, glorious and awful as only Gods can be.

It was then, after many battles fought side by side, that the cunning eldest brother approached Malek with yet another proposal. He offered him a powerful talisman, the cruel device, to enhance his mighty strikes. The device that would put an end to their most hated foes—at the cost of their most beloved treasure. 

The Lord of Death, unaware of the treachery, went to battle and wiped all dark wielders off the face of the earth in one powerful strike. 

Grateful and full of awe, the humans praised the God, their saviour, promising to burn all that belonged to the dead in his name, and the oldest brother, who devoted his life to this cause, was made king to rule over all of mankind.

This is where the legends end—but it is not the end of this story. For there was still the price to pay for their victory, and when Malek returned to his Palace, glowing and victorious. .. he found that something was missing. The price that had to be paid, the balance magic crave. 

His most beloved treasure, his beautiful bride, was gone. 

In order to destroy the darkest powers, magic had taken the brightest light, the Goddess of Life, away.

Blind with grief and fury, Malek rioted and screamed, but there was no way to make the spell undone. His bride was lost, reduced to nothing but a mortal soul. Damned to endlessly wander the lands of the humans, she would never be commended to him, never to return to his side. 

The God of Death, lost in his grief, pleaded with the magic, his Queen, even with fate herself, and they offered him a deal. If he wanted his beloved back, then he had to join her. He had to become a mortal soul as well. And only should they find each other despite their lost memories, only should she regain all of her lost powers despite not knowing what she’d lost, only if they accomplished the deed she was sacrificed for without treachery… only then would Malek and his Bride be able to return to their Palace.

It was a fool’s bargain. A human’s life was difficult, their lands wide. The chances of them ever fulfilling the set terms all but nonexistent. But Malek agreed anyway. For all eternity was worthless if She was not by his side. He would bring her back. Even if it took him centuries to find her.
