Hope Elide Blackbeak Crochan Havilliard

Heir to the Wastes, Manorian First-Born (of 4)

Manon art foundation by @madschofield

~ Yes, Elide did cry for the first solid year of Hope’s existence, and at every single reminder since of her middle namesake.

Abilities

~ She has more Crochan blood than Ironteeth blood. She doesn’t have retractable iron teeth or nails. However, she can perform some Crochan magic like healing and glamours. She’s adept at flying and has her own deep purple wyvern named Lady (one-shot of how that name came to fruition soon).

~ She has shielding capabilities from Dorian and a basic ability to modify elements (air, water, fire, etc.) from that kernel of raw power passed down to all of his children.

Personality & Headcanons

~ Apart from her eye color, she’s her mother’s mini-me and reveres Manon.

~ “Mommy says I can be warm and not fuzzy.” Manon teaches her to be caring and assertive in the ways that feel most natural to her.

~ When Lord Westfall (Chaol’s father) came to Rifthold and convened with her father on some matters, “Mommy says I don’t owe scary men politeness, so they should earn my respect instead. Can you tell me some of your accomplishments?” Dorian’s howl could be heard all the way back to Anielle. Bizarrely, Chaol brought her a stunning set of bracelets next time he visited.

~ Dorian used to read to her as a little girl for hours at a clip, mostly fantasy books, and she was mesmerized. She was hooked on every word and couldn’t seem to fathom the fantastical creatures he described, despite the fact that she lived among so many. Was one herself really. Dorian never deterred her fascination, though. Likely because he was rather attached to the perpetual awe in her expression as she listened to him.

~ At five years old, she scared the shit out of Lorcan (who has barely since recovered) when he visited with Elide and ate the last of their pear tarts from Nesryn’s family bakery. She chased him around with Wind-Cleaver, proclaiming “off with his head” and laughing maniacally. Following this atrocity, both Manon and Aelin granted her official superiority over all other children.

Okay hear me out here:

Dorian is totally a girl dad, and no force in this universe is going to make me think otherwise.

Also, he is the King of Adarlan, and Manon is the Queen of the Witches and they literally have their own kingdom to rule SO they need two heirs, one to rule each kingdom when the time comes.

This is the reason why I headcanon they have two daughters (they’re like 6-7 years apart at least because Manon is not going to do this so soon lmao) because:

A) Hey this is actually not so bad (Manon had a lot of doubts in herself and took A WHILE to get there but she does. Eventually.)

B) With their daughter getting older and more independent they just missed having her around like why did you grow up so fast??? (Dorian is more vocal, but while silent Manon felt the same way)

C) They have two kingdoms so they need two kids, naturally.

Some Manon Blackbeak HC

-She and Dorian got married

-There is an honorary grave in the Wastes AND Rifthold (because Dorian will be a caring and thoughtful husband to her you can't change my mind).

-Manon visits them regularly

-Abraxos being a therapy wyvern

[biggestqiblifan]

Ok, Rowan strutting about in a Santa outfit is my new favorite TOG head-canon of the year.

Also, the men being nervous is just perfect.

ToG Winter Headcanons

- Dorian hosts the best parties at his house. He goes all out in decorating everything for winter and making sure that there is plenty of mistletoe hanging up in almost every doorway. 

- Manon rolls her eyes every time Dorian sweeps her into a kiss when she walks into a room. But she readily joins in and finds that the mistletoe is now one of her favorite traditions.

- The mistletoe results in many couples sharing kisses throughout the day. And after a few drinks Rowan “stumbles” and kisses Lorcan on the cheek. Though Lorcan swears Rowan did it just to piss him off considering Whitethorn started roaring in laughter and Aelin claimed that she should be able to steal a kiss from Elide.

- Lorcan managed to get back at Rowan when it came time to eat dinner and he claimed that “buzzard” should be served that night. 

- The Cadre make it a competition to find the best tree for the occasion. Though Fenrys and Connal end up starting a snow fight which leads to Gavriel having to reign them under control.

- Lorcan is the one who finds the tree and ends up chopping it down himself. Elide is with him and clearly enjoys the sight of Lorcan’s muscles straining against his flannel shirt as he swings the axe into the tree.

- Evangeline puts the star on the tree atop Aedion’s shoulders. Lysandra is also helping decorate the tree. She even bought an ornament that reads “First Yulemas Together - Terrasen Court”.

- Yrene brings in all the baked goods with Chaol. They know how to feed an army and they know that fae males (and Aelin) are inclined to eat everything they can get their hands on.

- Chaol manages to keep the males at bay in the kitchen with his cane that is decorated to look like a candy cane.

- Nesryn is there taking photos and manages to to be sneaky enough to get a lot of shots without anyone noticing. She knows how important family is and she wants to make sure to capture every moment. 

- Sartaq manages to get a photo with Nesryn…one in which he surprises her with a kiss just as the camera took the photo. It’s Nesryn’s favorite photo of the night.

- When Fleetfoot, Aelin and Rowan arrive fashionably late they are dressed for the festivities. Fleetfoot has deer antlers on while Aelin is dressed as an elf.

- And in walks Rowan in a complete Santa outfit. 

- Aelin and Rowan each carry in a bag of presents and Rowan hands out the ones that are in his bag.

- Once everyone finishes opening those presents Aelin comes forward with her bag. “These presents are for the ladies,” Aelin says with a smile that makes then men look nervously at each other.

- Elide opens her present first as she sits on Lorcan’s lap. To their surprise it’s black lacy lingerie and Lorcan blushes redder than Rowan’s ridiculous outfit.

- “So Lorcan,” Elide glances up at him with a teasing glint in her eye. “Have you been naughty or nice this year?

- Lorcan flushes even redder and manages to whisper something in Elide’s ear that causes her to blush and kiss his cheek. (Aelin imagines that the lingerie will come in handy soon.)

- Aelin then starts up a session of caroling at the piano. Surprisingly the Cadre are amazing at singing and soon the house is filled with music.

- At the end of the evening Aelin sits on Rowan’s lap and snuggles against him.

- “What do you want for Yulemas?” Aelin whispers while stroking the fake beard.

- Rowan manages to tug off the beard, yet Aelin continues to run her fingers down his face. It’s then he realizes that Aelin is tracing his tattoos. And Rowan’s heart warms at the feel of her touch and the fact that Aelin looks up at him with pure love in her eyes.

- “I already have everything I could ever want right here with me,” Rowan says softly and leans down to kiss Aelin slowly—wanting the moment to last a lifetime.

Roleplay Partner Search

Hi there! 

My friends call me Sammy. I've been roleplaying for roughly fifteen years, started on Quizilla ( rip ) and have been writing ever since. I work a full time job, Monday - Friday that takes up the most of my time during the week. Weekends are spent with my boyfriend and friends.Most of my roleplay responses will be weekday evenings & Sunday nights. I'm available most of the time to chitchat or headcanon if that's your jam. I love making friends with my writing partners. Communication is key. 

18+ Please. Am adult. Children stay away. 

Probably over Discord? Unless you have a better suggestion. PM me and we can discuss. 

Doubling friendly and doubling encouraged.   I always play a female oc and a character of your choosing. If you want canon ships for your side, cool. I dont mind. You have an oc that you want to pair with a canon character? Even better. Tell me everything.  

Length. The longer the reply,  the longer it takes for me to reply. I dont really have a length limit, I can match whatever you throw at me, but I'd rather have a shorter reply full of meaningful sentences that move the roleplay along than a long reply full of fluff, ya know? 

Plot > Smut. I dont mind smut, I just need it to not be the sole focus. 

Its been forever since I've made one of  these so I'm probably forgetting something. If you have questions/comments/concerns, feel free to shoot me a message. 

Below are fandoms I'm currently looking for. Bold is who I would like to play against. Italics are characters I'm comfortable playing ( some fandoms have a crap load of characters, if you dont see someone you want in italics, please just ask if I can play them. More often than not, it's a yes). 

A Court of Thorns and Roses series - Completed( Lucien Vanserra, Eris Vanserra, Azriel) [ Azriel, Cassian, Rhysand , Eris Vanserra, Tarquin, ask for more ]

ACOTAR x Throne of Glass Crossover - I would kill to play the child of Manorian, pairing them off with Elucien child. Plot with me pleeeeeeeeease. 

Stephen King's It - Novel, TV Ministries, Chapter 1 & 2 Completed. highly prefer to rp when they are adults, though we can flashback/headcanon platonic moments from when they were kids. ( Ben Hanscom, Mike Hanlon )[ Any of the Losers ]

One Piece - Live Action. Through Zouin Anime ( Roranoa  Zoro. Trafalgar D Water Law. Vinsmoke Sanji )[ Any Straw Hat, Buggy, Mihawk, Shanks, theres a lot of characters so ask ]

Yu Yu Hakusho - Anime Completed. ( Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke )[ Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara. Ask about anyone else but willing to try ] 

Stranger Things - Caught up. ( Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley, Steven Harrington ) [Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington, Jonathan Byers, Robin Buckley, Nancy Wheeler, Jim Hopper ]

Hunger Games - Original Trilogy Novels & Movies Completed. Willing to do original plot. ( Peeta Mellark, Finnick Odair )[ Mostly anyone save for Snow ]

Teen Wolf ( Theo Raeken, Isaac Lahey, Stiles Stilinski )[ mostly anyone ]

Until Dawn ( Mike Munroe, male oc )[ anyone ]

Creator showcase #2: @danikamariewrites!

We are featuring her Feysand X Housewife!reader series which involves several different headcanons as well as short fics! The series features a polyamorous relationship between Feyre, Rhysand, and the reader. This series is so fun, and it's great to see how different methods of content creation can come together in one story! The first part of the series is linked below, and the full series can be found on her Feysand Masterlist.

We asked her a few questions so we could all get to know her better: 

Q: What’s your favorite CNM group to write about? 

A: My favorite is either the bat boys or Feysand [X reader].

Q: What CNM group would you want to explore further? 

A:  I want to write for Manorian [X reader], I’ve read so many great manorian fics and I want to dive into that dynamic.

Q: What’s your favorite trope? 

A: I don’t know what to call this one, probably miscommunication where the mating bond snaps for reader and they avoid the couple. Then when they all talk they’re happy in the end and it’s all fluffy. 🤗

Thank you to danikamariewrites for chatting with us and for all the things you create!

We can't wait to see what she cooks up for Poly+ ACOTAR week and beyond, and are so excited to share her work with you all!

[gwyns]

I feel like the sexual dynamic between Gwyn and Azriel will/could be like Manon and Dorian’s. Dorian did dominate Manon during sex, but she still had some dominance in her despite being on the receiving end. It’s said that during missionary Manon met each of Dorian’s thrusts with her own and put her hand on his ass to push him deeper/harder/faster, she rode him twice, and when he's kissing her she matches it stroke for stroke. He was the only man she let dominate her during sex. Manon did have moments of being submissive, but she still gave off femdom energy. She still had moments of dominating him. I like how Dorian didn’t feel threatened by that, and I also like how he comes off as emotionally aware and intelligent.

I could see Azriel dominating Gwyn, and when she becomes more comfortable and confident in herself, a part of her will unleash and want to take control, and Azriel will allow that but only with her. Both of them can take turns being dominant and submissive. I headcanon Azriel to be a soft dom who will only sub/let go of control for his mate (someone who he will completely trust) and Gwyn is a brat/tease, but also likes being in control. Gwynriel’s potential sexual dynamic really makes me think of Manorian’s dynamic.

you and past anon are so real for your messages ily this is me at the both of you:

after discussing it with you all recently i'm so confident az is a dom. with his upbringing and how uncertain other aspects of his life have been i can totally see him wanting control. same with gwyn, even if she, in my opinion, leans more to the submissive side. she'd like to have a sense of control over something and azriel would be more than willing to let go for her and only her

again, trust will play such a big role in their relationship. az has major trust (ahem and abandonment) issues. gwyn is a bit more trusting but i can also see her being a bit wary of trusting a man completely after everything. so yes, they need to build this trust first and my god it'll make the payoff that much sweeter

YES LET'S SPREAD THE GWYN IS A BRAT AGENDA!!! I NEED THIS FOR COMPLETELY SELFISH AND PERSONAL REASONS!!!!

[freyjas-musings]

@yazthebookish posted on her Instagram story how she thinks ACOTAR5 will lead up to a new Throne of Glass book, and how Sarah planned to have Rhys bring up seeing Aelin in HOFAS, but since he didn't she probably changed her mind and is saving this for ACOTAR5. I strongly agree. I really think we’re going to get another TOG book (I need Manorian content). I wonder if one of the characters in ACOTAR will end up accidentally falling into/world-walk to Erilea. Probably not, but it makes me curious if any of the ACOTAR characters could world-walk, if so I would lean more towards Nesta or Azriel, or maybe Rhys, but I think it’ll be either Nesta or Azriel. I have a fun headcanon that Gwyn could accidentally fall into Erilea, but it probably won’t happen. Either way, I don’t think TOG is over with, and I’m interested to know what SJM has planned!

Hi Anon,

I do think the book after ACOTAR 5 will be TOG related . SJM explicitly says she likes playing with the three worlds. What excites me is how Vast and varied TOG world is .... she could pick any of it and its impossible to narrow down the possibilities. I don't think there will be any major overlap of the multiverse beyond brief world walking in any books moving forward but that's just my opinion.

Of the three series TOG has always been my favourite so I look forward to getting back to that series . For now we patiently or not so patiently wait for the announcement of Azriel's book.

[ataraxiasflame]

ACOTAR tag game 💕

Answer the questions below & tag whoever you want, or make it an open tag!!

Thank you @zenkindoflove - you made this very difficult for me because I basically agree with everything you said 😂

• Who's your favourite ACOTAR character?

Lucien and Nesta. I’ll defend both to the very end.

• Who's your least favourite character?

Do I have to pick only one? Feyre. Amren. Mor. Feyre-POV-Rhys (I don’t mind in him ACOSF actually). Azriel is ticking me off lately. Who’s left?

• Say something nice about your least favourite character.

Pass.

Jk. They dress ok? Idk. They drink a lot? Could be fun.

• Who's your favourite High Lord? (If you picked one for your fav character, then who's your second fav!)

Probably Helion AKA Sun Daddy. But I’m also intrigued by Kallias.

• Favourite MINOR character?

Not to copy @zenkindoflove but Eris and Jurian too 😂 I dunno why but when it comes to SJM I tend to like her mysterious, potentially villainous characters more. I had high hopes for The Autumn King in HOFAS but that was a bust.

• Favourite ship? (Crackships included!)

Elucien forever.

• Favourite court and why?

For aesthetics, probably Autumn. But in Prythian itself, I think I’d probably love living in Summer or Day most (or wherever Lucien is at any given time)

• Make up a brand new court RIGHT NOW, NO PREP JUST VIBES.

Something with dragons. And witches. Did I just describe ToG? Give me Manorian and the Thirteen.

• What relationship would you have wanted to see more of in the books?

Don’t ask me why, because it will break my fragile heart, but I want flashbacks of Lucien with Jesminda. And then LoA and Helion.

• What's your unpopular opinion?

Ooof people are going to hate this because it’s definitely unpopular:

Feyre is SJMs weakest character in terms of how she was written.

And hating Tamlin but excusing Rhys’s behaviour makes zero sense to me.

Oh I have another one: Feyre was exactly like Nesta pre-mating bond in how she treated people. Rhys indirectly calls her out on it too (Feyre even refers to herself and Nesta as two sides of the same coin) but Nesta is called a bitch and mean and is never forgiven by readers for being ‘abusive’.

• What's your favourite headcanon/fan canon?

That Elain grew up loving flowers and plants because her mate was in Spring during those years.

• If you were swept away to Prythian, what's ONE thing you would want to do?

Find Lucien? Is there any other answer here?

• If you could have ONE faerie ability seen in the books, which would it be?

I mean, daemati power is pretty cool, right? That’s a bit cliche but I’d have so much fun popping into people’s minds unannounced just to scare them.

Tagging a few people (no pressure!) but anyone is welcome to participate!

@lucienarcheron @litfanatic @bettdraws @teddyhoneybear @annaskareninas @crazy-ache @works-of-heart

Got any random manorian headcanons? I like how you write them!

Thank you! 🥰

Here’s a scene that’s been playing out in my head recently that doesn’t fit into any of my wips. I just typed it out on my phone without much editing so please forgive any errors.

I hope you like it! 💙💛💙💛

***

Orynth was months ago, and yet to Manon it sometimes felt like days. The ring of clashing swords, the smell of blood raining from the sky, the roar of dying wyverns. The blinding white light that consumed her coven. Some nights these sounds and images flooded her dreams, leaving her rigid and stiff upon waking. Other nights, she refused to give into the call of sleep, unwilling to relive the nightmares. She was running out of excuses for the odd mix of lethargy and nerves that left her mind foggy and appetite gone.

So when she’d overheard Petrah and Glennis discussing her condition one evening, heard them whispering about whether the King of Adarlan should be called to visit, Manon knew she had to do something.

After she reminded both witches who was Queen, and that they had no business sticking their noses into hers, she announced she’d be visiting Eyllwe. The kingdom had recently sent word that it was interested in negotiating a trade deal with the witches. Manon currently had nothing to offer, but the promise of their lands was great.

And if she could get away from the henpecking of her council, take Abraxos and fly, fly without stopping, maybe she could bring herself back to life. Rid herself of the nightmares and the constant tension in her body that ate up all her thoughts and energy. Maybe she could come back as her old self. Maybe…

When Abraxos leapt off the aerie and she felt the cold blast of air on her skin, Manon breathed more deeply than she had in weeks. She took her wyvern out everyday, but this felt different. Just the two of them, free and flying, with nothing ahead of them but open sky and the plains below.

The journey to Eyllwe was fast and trouble free. She hadn’t encountered another soul until she neared the outskirts of Banjali. She was welcomed with little pomp and shown to rooms in a tower far from where the royal family lived. Manon wasn’t insulted. Rather, she respected the fact they kept the royals protected. And as she’d arrived in dirty flying leathers with wind blown hair on a wyvern whining for meat, she was grateful to avoid an appearance in front of the entire court.

Her meetings were as no nonsense as the greeting and she found herself with a signed trade pact after only two days. Eyllwe would supply the witches with rice in exchange for wheat, once the witches’ crops produced enough to spare. The trip had been a whirlwind of new foods and new people. She’d been gifted a dress made of Eyllwe silk, and although she’d bowed to the King and Queen, then offered them a carved wooden box of healing herbs known only to the Crochans, she had no idea when or where she could possibly wear the slip of cloth. There was nothing to it, the deep wine red fabric ran like water through her fingers.

And now, as she flew on Abraxos, thinking over the details of the agreement she’d just made, she was slow to realize the sea that appeared out of the mist over her right shoulder. Manon twisted around in the saddle trying to orient herself. Land on the left, water on the right. They were headed north. Not northwest. Not back to the Witchlands.

But north to Rifthold.

Manon should have turned her godsdamned, smart ass wyvern around the second she’d noticed. But she hadn’t. She’d just… let him keep going. Closed her eyes and let the scent of the sea take over, the wind whipping them faster and faster north.

She still hadn’t had a full nights sleep despite her travels. But for a night or two, she’d gotten enough to take the edge off the nerves and exhaustion. With Rifthold’s glow growing brighter, she wondered if the nerves would return. They hadn’t seen each other since Orynth, had not exchanged any letters. And here she was, showing up unannounced, looking like a banshee. Not that the way she looked should matter.

Manon landed Abraxos just outside the city, not wanting to raise an alarm, by the guard or its residents. As she made her way through the dark streets, cloaked and hooded to avoid prying eyes, she saw a door open and steam pool out. Checking the sign, she decided to make a stop on her way to the castle.

She was surprised to find the gate into the keep open with people streaming inside. Guards flanked the entrance but there was little in the way of security. Manon simply walked through, still cloaked, with no questions asked. The idiocy of the guard made her blood boil. Their King had raw magic, but that was no excuse for lax protection.

When she got to an atrium that led into a ballroom, she made her way to the edge of the crowd. The space had a high ceiling that still showed signs of damage from when the witches had attacked. The thought made her hesitate. She looked down at the red dress she was wearing, touched the hair she’d pulled up after washing at the bath house. She shouldn’t be here. But then there was a break in the crowd and she saw him.

The ballroom was in the midst of reconstruction but that didn’t stop the King and his subjects from celebrating. Celebrating what, she had no idea. But she watched them from a half fallen in balcony that ringed the space. It was dark and empty up here, the perfect place for her to gather her courage.

And she would need it, she realized with a frown.

Dorian was dancing. With a woman.

He wore a sleek black suit coat that went to his knees. The only spot of color on him was a red shape embroidered on his lapel.

She, the one he danced with, wore a bright green dress that seemed to take up the entire floor. It was covered in bows and sashes that made Manon think of an over decorated cake she’d once seen in a bakery. The bodice was cut so low she wondered how the woman’s breasts weren’t popping out.

The music ended and another woman, this one older, took her place in Dorian’s arms. Manon found that her expression, now a scowl, didn’t lighten at the sight of this woman’s graying hair, or more modest dress. She found that with every dance partner she watched him hold, with every flirting courtesan throwing themselves at him, with every attractive eye, male and female, on Dorian…

She found herself getting angry.

Not at those people, but at herself.

Well, a little at them.

Dropping her cloak, she walked to the curved stairway that led to the dance floor. And just as she took the first step down the stairs to the ballroom floor, as if he’d knew she was there, Dorian turned and looked at her.

Manon held his gaze as she descended, as he made his way through the crowd towards her, a smile like she’d never seen blooming on his face.

He met her when she reached the next to last step. They were eye to eye and she felt her mouth curve in a smile to match his. She swore she saw his eyes glow brighter and his heartbeat race.

“Hello witchling,” he said, his voice a rough whisper.

Manon took a second to catch her breath and then said, “Hello princeling.”

Before they could say another word, he swept her into his arms and into a dance.

She’d never danced before. Sensing her trepidation, he pulled her to the edge, away from everyone else where they could talk and sway back and forth.

With a nod to her dress. Dorian leaned to her ear and said, “This is the best birthday present I could have asked for.”

Manon started. “Your birthday?”

He grinned, running his fingers up and down her bare back and making her shiver. “I’m going to pretend you knew.”

Her eyes caught on the figure embroidered on his collar. It was a red and gold wyvern. The Adarlan crest. She’d seen it a hundred times, but this one was different. Silver thread was woven into the wings. Running a finger across it, she looked up at him. He nodded towards the far wall where the crest was painted. The center wyvern, a larger version of his, was framed by twelve smaller beasts. Manon stopped swaying and stared.

“It’s nothing,” Dorian said. “Just a token of our appreciation for what they gave.”

“It’s not nothing,” she said, swallowing back the emotion that threatened to overtake her.

Unsure of herself, she slowly reached up and laid her palm on his cheek. He shifted his head and was kissing her palm. Taking her hand in his, he led her through a hidden doorway into a narrow hall. Silently, she followed him through passages until they were in his rooms.

Alone.

Dorian pulled her gently into his arms and ran a finger under each of her eyes. She hadn’t been able to scrub away the darkness beneath them.

“I don’t want to sleep yet,” she said, looking around him towards the bed.

“And I don’t want to take off this dress yet.” The music was faint but they could still hear it. So they began to sway again, his fingers sending sparks over her skin.

That morning, Manon fell asleep with Dorian’s arm draped over her hip. She slept all day, and so did he.

It was his birthday after all.

[pergaminaa]

One day, when she was seven, little witchling #1 called Dorian to the playroom to show him something.

In there, little witchling #1 proceeded to show him how if she calls little witchling #2 (14 months old) in a particular tone, little witchling #2 responds by rolling her eyes (which makes her older sister cackle which makes the baby laugh in turn)

Dorian is laughing at the adorable display, on the outside.

With his infant learning how to roll her eyes, he is aware that he needs to fend off against three pairs of eyes now and he isn’t sure he can be immune to that. He never was, not from the start and certainly not now.

He just didn’t think little witchling #2 would be joining the other team so early on (it was inevitable but he thought he had more time).

Manorian Headcanons part 2

part 1

Manon's iron-nails are slithering out whenever she blushes

When they're sleeping, Manon is the one who grabs all the covers for herself

Dorian doesn't care, he just go and cuddles her

Whenever Dorian reads, he puts his head to Manon's lap and she plays with his hair

he ends up snoring instead of reading

and she finds it adorable but still kicks him off

Dorian taught Manon how to eat with a fork

he ended up annoying her and had a fork stuck on his shoulder

she warned him that next time they'll go hunting together

he never tried to teach her again

He loves kissing her on the cheek

He also loves kissing her ass (literally)
