Part 1 of The Imodna Bookshop AU

Summary:

Imogen, new to Zadash, finds the city to be a mess of contradictions.

Crowds of densely packed people means a near-constant wall of thoughts battering against her mind, but the cool air as summer turns to autumn proves to be it's own kind of unexpected balm compared to the constant heat she's so used to back in Gelvaan.

The Pentamarket is mess of people and noises and smells, and by all accounts it should be her own personal hell, but the softest, sweetest melody fills her head and soothes her mind whenever she's there, drawing her back to the cramped stalls and throngs of people every morning and evening on her walk to and from the stables.

Now...if she could just figure out who that music is coming from.

A prologue.

Notes:

Hey all!

So uh, how about those episodes lately? I think we could all use some fluff.

LyraLoudmouth1220 and I have fallen deep into the Imodna rabbit hole, and we came up with this au sort of by accident a little over a month ago—she said "once and formerly haunted" in relation to something, and I said "lol sounds like the name of a bookstore" and...here were are. Because we have never known self control when it comes to fanfic.

We decided to set this series in Zadash because we're both partial to the colder months/climates—personally, while I absolutely adore C3 and am totally fascinated by Marquet, sometimes I do miss the colder regions of Exandria. Plus, it's finally getting cold again here in New York, and we're reveling in being able to wear layers again and walk outside without sweating.

So, here's the beginning of our little low-stakes, high-pining, high-fluff story about Laudna, Imogen, and a weird little bookshop.

Thank you for reading!

Title is taken from "This Empty Northern Hemisphere" by Gregory Alan Isakov

[samuraiko]

You should write orym meeting the crown keepers for the first time!

Again, I am *SO* very sorry these are taking so long, Anons. But I appreciate your patience! (And in the meantime, I've got other vignettes you might enjoy.)

"Kinda Sorta Something in Common"

Orym wandered aimlessly through the streets of Emon, taking in the sights and sounds. It wasn't his first time here, as he'd travelled occasionally with Keyleth and the other Tempest Blades as part of her entourage, but for once, he was alone.

And it felt... strangely lonely.

The halfling shook his head as if to clear it of negative thoughts, and became aware of music coming from somewhere nearby. A lute, being played decently well, with a lilting, cheerful melody that brought to mind brightly coloured banners being tossed about in the wind and sunshine.

"And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before The Tavern shouted—"Open then the Door. You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may return no more.""

Rounding the corner, he saw a handsome young man, stylishly dressed (though an odd combination of ostentatious and well-worn), sitting outside a tavern and busking for the passersby. There was a small pile of coins in a threadbare basket next to him, and citizens would occasionally toss him a coin as they walked past.

Orym stopped a short distance away, leaned against the tavern wall, and listened to the young man's song.

"Yesterday this day's madness did prepare; Tomorrow's silence, triumph, or despair: Drink! for you not know whence you came, nor why: Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where."

As he finished the song with a flourish, a few others nearby clapped, and a few more coins tossed into the basket before they moved on.

"Thank you, you're too kind!" The musician called out after them, then he began gathering up his things.

Orym pulled out one of his few gold coins and tossed it into the basket with an expert flick.

The musician looked up at him in pleased surprise.

"Thank you, good sir! Please... allow me to buy you a drink for your generosity!" He waved at the tavern beside them. "The wine is good, and the shade is welcome."

"Sure," Orym said agreeably, and the two were soon seated at a small table, two glasses of wine set before them.

"You're... not from around here, are you?" Orym asked after taking a sip of his wine. "Your accent's a bit different."

"No, no, I'm not from Tal'Dorei. I'm, ah, actually from Marquet." He gave a half-bow with a slight flourish. "Dorian Storm, wandering bard at your service."

"Orym of the Air Ashari. It's nice to meet you. You play well, by the way. I never quite had the knack for it."

"Well, we all have our gifts. Do you live here in Emon?"

"No, I'm actually from Zephrah. The eastern side of Tal'Dorei."

"You're quite a long way from home, then. What brings you here?"

Orym briefly looked uncomfortable, and Dorian gave him a thoughtful look over the top of his wine glass.

"I seem to have put my foot in my mouth. Forgive me."

"Oh, no, it's fine. I'm just... kind of tasked with looking into something." Orym hastily took another gulp of wine and looked away. "And I take it you're just seeing the world? Plying your trade?"

"It's the open road for me," Dorian agreed. "I see things that I'd never have seen at home..." Then his eyes were drawn across the tavern to something over Orym's shoulder. "Like that, for instance."

Orym turned to look behind him, where a rather pretty albeit flashily dressed young woman was sitting nearby and openly looking at the two of them. She grinned and waved at Dorian, who immediately turned red and stared intently into his wineglass.

"I, uh, think she likes you," Orym said.

"Oh, I don't know about that..." Dorian stammered.

Then he nearly leapt off his stool as the young woman came over and sat down uninvited at the table.

"Well, you're back again, pretty boy! That makes it a whole week, right?"

She turned to look at Orym and said in a stage whisper, "What do you think? Is he coming here for me? Or for the wine?"

"I wouldn't know, I only just met him myself. I'm Orym."

"Opal." She turned expectantly to Dorian, whose cheeks were now even redder. "And you are?"

"D-D-Dorian. Dorian Storm."

"Dorian. Pretty boy, pretty name. And a pretty decent musician too." She turned back to Orym. "You heard him play? He's been doing his thing outside this tavern every day for a week or so now."

"Yes, I have. I quite liked it."

"Please, allow me then to buy you a drink," Dorian stammered, and signaled the bartender to bring over another glass of wine for Opal. With an effort, he collected himself and turned back to Orym. "As I was saying, you can find all sorts of things here in Emon, if you're looking for something in particular."

"That's what I'm hoping," Orym said quietly. "But we'll see." He looked over at Opal, who was sipping at her wine and making a face.

"is it not good?"

"I don't know much about wine, so, hard to say. But hey, free drink!"

Just then, a loud crash of furniture breaking filled the tavern, and Orym, Dorian, and Opal all looked over to see a stout dwarf with wild reddish-brown hair lying in the middle of the wreckage of a table.

"HEY! That was totally uncalled for!" he protested. "It's not my fault you're so lousy at cheating at cards!"

Three other men were getting to their feet and growling, their fists clenched.

"What was that?"

"Oh come on, it was totally obvious." The dwarf got up, dusted himself off, and walked back over the other three. "If you're going to cheat, the least you could do is be good at it."

One of them snarled and with a flash of lanternlight glinting on steel, produced a knife.

Orym tensed and prepared to spring, but suddenly the dwarf waved his hands and flames flashed into existence around them.

"Ooooooooh," they all heard, and everyone turned to see a tall, statuesque female faun come sashaying up. She completely ignored the three card players and approached the dwarf. "You're quite good at that."

The dwarf had to crane his neck to look up at her, but gave her an appreciative grin. "I do my best."

She then sauntered over to the card players and lightly put her hand on the shoulder of the one with the knife. "You wouldn't be so mean as to hurt him, would you?"

"Get out of my way, lady," he growled, but his eyes went huge as her visage changed. Suddenly the lovely innocent face was savage, her eyes blazing, her teeth now fangs, her hands clawed.

He let out a panicked yelp, as did his two friends, and they all three nearly fell over each other scrambling to get away from her and out of the tavern.

"Yeah! And don't come back until you learn how to cheat properly!" the dwarf shouted after them.

For a moment, the tension in the tavern was thick enough that Orym could almost see it in the air, but then Opal giggled, and things abruptly relaxed.

"That was... quite the show," Dorian said, staring wide-eyed at the faun, who was now smugly tossing a small money pouch from hand to hand, while the dwarf was scooping up the money that the other gamblers had left on the table.

The faun and dwarf noticed the three of them watching, and came over to sit down.

"That was AMAZING!" Opal said to the faun. "You went from being all hot to all HAAAAAAAH!"

"Why thank you," the faun preened as she tucked the stolen money pouch into her dress.

"Hey, I was all HAAAAAAAH too," the dwarf said, leaning a spear against his chair. "Cowardly bastards."

"And you two would be..." Dorian let his voice trail off.

"Oh I'm Fearne. Fearne Calloway." She held out one hand to him, no longer clawed, and Dorian kissed it.

"And I'm Dariax Zaveon." The dwarf also held out his hand to Dorian, who looked at it briefly then shook it. "No kiss?"

"Sorry."

"I'm Opal." Opal shook their hands as well.

"And I'm Orym of the Air Ashari," the halfling chimed in, reaching across the table to shake hands as well. "Are you two locals?"

"Not me," Dariax said. "I'm from the Turst Fields, over in the east."

Orym brightened. "I'm from Zephrah. The Fields are just a little ways north of us."

"Zephrah? Oh, that highfalutin' Ashari place way up in the mountains. Yeah. Never been there myself. Heard it's nice, though."

"And I'm from the Feywild," Fearne said amicably, and Opal's eyes became huge.

"NO! Really?"

"Mm-hmm."

"So what are you doing here in Emon, then?" Dorian asked, signaling for another round of drinks.

"I'm looking for someone," Fearne replied.

Dariax shrugged. "I'm just picking up odd jobs here and there."

"It sounds like we're all here looking for something," Orym observed. "I, um... I don't suppose any of you might be... I don't know... interested in looking for things together?"

"I'm down for it if you are," Dariax said cheerfully. "I got nothing better to do."

"I wouldn't mind," Fearne replied. "I imagine I'll find all sorts of new and exciting things with all of you."

"Yeah, I could do that," Opal said. "I mean, I'm not that great at anything, but it beats just sitting around watching the world go by."

"Well, if you don't mind having a humble bard along, I would certainly enjoy some company." Dorian lifted his glass in a toast. "To... what should we drink to?"

There was a pause, then Dariax said, "To... kinda sorta having something in common!"

There was another, longer pause, and Dariax looked around the table. "What?"

Orym gave a slight grin, and lifted his glass as well. "To kinda sort having something in common."

They all drank to that.

Some Random Vox Machina Headcanons!

These take place in a canon divergent universe, so don't expect them to be canon friendly or "accurate".

Percy will sometimes pass out in his workshop only to wake up in his room. He has no idea who it is that moves him, but he appreciates it. It's Grog, by the way. He hates seeing Percy with a sore back from sleeping hunched over at his desk.

Vax likes to bird watch when he has free time. He also takes this time to meditate and practice yoga. He finds it soothing when his mental health starts getting bad again.

Vax likes carving wooden figurines for his friends and family. Vex'ahlia has over 1,000 little wooden Trinket figurines dotted around her room.

When the others feel like training, Grog is more than happy to be their training instructor. In fact, Grog tends to give the people of Whitestone and the Whitestone Army free training lessons too.

Scanlan has published song books full of the songs he has written a long with matching sheet music for different instruments.

Vax, Gilmore and Keyleth are a happy Polycule. While Gilmore and Keyleth only have platonic love for eachother, both have deep romantic feelings for Vax and Vax is deeply in love with both of them back.

While Keyleth is Pansexual, she's sexually repulsed. Meanwhile, Gilmore is Gay and Vax is Bisexual, neither being shy in the bedroom.

Vex'ahlia and Percy end up having 7 children, the second and third kids being twins with the fifth kid being a Tiefling;

Vesper-Elaina (daughter)

Val'dinah (daughter)

Tibbons (son)

Melody (nonbinary)

Belle (daughter)

Wesley (son)

Jasper (son)

Vax helps out at Gilmore's store in Whitestone from Miresen through Whelsen, then on Conthsen and Folsen he helps out at the local orphanage and school. On Yulisen he takes the day off, and then on Da'leysen he tends to his Champion of The Raven Queen duties.

Vax, Keyleth and Gilmore have a townhouse in Whitestone for when they want privacy from everyone else at the Castle. Gilmore also has a beach home his parents care for back in Marquet for when they go on vacation. But all 3 have their own individual room at Whitestone Castle.

Vax and Pike occasionally take night time walks together to talk about their respective Goddesses and the work it is they do for them both. Pike helps Vax whenever his doubts and fears get too much, and Vax is happy to reassure Pike whenever she feels like she isn't good enough for Sarenrae.

Vex and Percy are very hands on with their children, treating each one with equal amounts of love and respect. They try not to be overbearing, but make sure no child is ignored. That being said, they do occasionally find themselves disagreeing over certain aspects of how their children are raised. That's usually where good ol' Uncle Vax gets brought in.

Nothing makes Vax smile wider than when one of the quarter elves call him Uncle Vax. Whenever he talks to his Queen, he usually updates her on them and gushes about all 7 of them to her.

Vax and Vex have a memorial made in Whitestone for their mother, as well as the rest of Thordak and his fellow dragons' victims, in Whitestone. Vax visits it often, talking to his mother whenever he can. Vex visits it too, but not as often as Vax does. When Vex does go see it, she tends to take Percy and the kids, while Vax prefers visiting it alone. Gilmore and Keyleth do tag along with Vax sometimes, but Gilmore also visits on his own sometimes when he feels he needs advice on his relationship with Vax.

Dinner at the Castle is quite flexible on Miresen through Yulisen, anyone can stop in if they want but don't need to, but it's a big family affair every Da'leysen where everybody - Percy, Cassandra, Vex, Vax, the quarter elves, Keyleth, Keyleth's parents, Gilmore, Gilmore's parents, Scanlan, Kaylie, Pike, Grog, Kima and Allura - eat together and catch up at the end of the week. It's rare for anybody to miss the big family dinner and usually only happens if somebody is sick or if Vax, Pike or Kima are away on work for their Goddesses. It's thanks to Vex'ahlia having teleportation circles made that link the Castle to Gilmore's parents' home in Marquet and Keyleth & Keyleth's mom's tree teleportation magic.

Vox Machina have noticed that Vax tends to be tailed by a raven or two whenever he is outside. This has gained Vax the nickname "The Raven Prince", something Vax finds quite embarrassing. Secretly, the Raven Queen is very amused about this development as the birds are actually watching over Vax on her order.

Scanlan’s Final Wish

Also on AO3

Vax'ildan was different when he stepped through the veil of the Raven Queen’s cloak on the edge of the cliffs.

“Scanlan Shorthalt,” he greeted, his voice halting and haunting. “You are toying with the designs of the gods still, I see. Old friend.”

“But I, I didn’t have a present,” Scanlan said in response, his voice small in a way that it never was. He felt weak all over, the wish draining him of his strength and energy. “So.”

His voice trailed off.

“She will allow it. Thank you.”

Scanlan couldn’t see Vax's face behind the raven’s mask he wore, and oh, how he longed to see that face. He missed kissing those perfect lips and feeling Vax's smile against his own. He missed the sounds Vax made their last night in the mansion, terrified and clinging to each other in the dark. He missed waking with his head on Vax's chest, tracing the dark raven mark before they decided to rise for the day. He hadn’t had enough time with Vax'ildan. None of them had.

Least of all, Scanlan thought, Vex'ahlia. There were tears in her eyes now, her blessing still lighting up the area. She was truly radiant in every meaning of the word, and Scanlan had done this for her. They had mourned Vax'ildan together, both of them missing large parts of themselves that may never heal. He was right when he said there was nothing expensive enough to be worthy of her and Percy, but this is what he could do. He could give her one last moment with her brother.

He watched quietly as Vax removed his mask, keeping the tears at bay. The love of his life, Vax'ildan, champion of the Raven Queen, was just as beautiful as the first day they met in Stilben all those years ago. There were more scars, and he had that weird bone spire thing happening on his shoulder, but Scanlan felt the love beat in his chest strong as ever.

Scanlan flashed to their last kiss before the Raven Queen took him away, to their first after Vax’ildan blurted out that he loved him, to the first time Scanlan took Vax apart in what would come to be their shared bed, to hearing Vex catch Vax leaving his room The next morning. He swallowed against the swell of nostalgia. Against the weight of their past. Against the hollowness of their future.

Pike's steady hand closed around his shoulder, grounding him in this moment.

Vex and Percy’s wedding.

He couldn’t breathe.

Pike squeezed, and he inhaled.

He didn’t listen to Vax and Vex, he couldn’t. If he stopped to listen to that haunting creaking voice where there once was melody and light, he might let the exhaustion take him.

This wasn’t for him.

But then, as if on cue, Vex’ahlia turned her brother around to face him.

“Scanlan,” he said, and he sank to his knees before Scanlan. “Champion of the Knowing Mistress.”

“Don’t,” Scanlan whispered, his knees weak in Vax’ildan’s presence. Vax reached out and took Scanlan’s face in his hands. “Vax. I didn’t think it was going to work.”

“You, Shorthalt, are more talented than even you could possibly imagine. It’s been too long, and I have so much to say.”

“Vax,” Scanlan whispered again, voice weak on the breeze.

“You have so much before you, my love, and you have so many stories to tell. Ioun will be proud of you. As I am.”

“I have so many stories to tell you,” Scanlan managed. Vax rested his forehead against Scanlan’s, and subtly kept his hands on Scanlan’s hips, holding him up. “Kaylie and I- and the business in Marquet-”

Vax kissed him, cutting him off. For once, he was glad to stumble over his words and trip on his tongue.

“I’ve heard your prayers. The Queen is gracious to let me hear you.”

“I wish I could hear you back.”

“You know I cannot. It is unfair to you, and to I, if we cannot touch or kiss or see each other every night. Your words are enough for me, but you are still here, Scanlan Shorthalt. You must move on. Find another love. Raise your daughters to be just as rambunctious and wonderful as you.”

Scanlan caught the s, looking at Kaylie nearby startled.

“Your children,” Vax said and while his face was calm, Scanlan swore there was a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “I’ve seen your legacy, Scanlan. I’ve seen the mark you leave on the world.”

“I don’t care about that without you.”

“Be brave, Shorthalt. Live. And love again. I promise you.” And then, just for a moment, his voice was warm and soft again, “I love you so much.”

Scanlan counted the seconds, the moment before Vax kissed him one last time and then stepped away. Scanlan watched as he looked to their chosen family gathered around them and nodded his goodbyes.

He wasn’t ready to let him go.

“Live,” he said gently, and then there was a scatter of black feathers. And he was gone once more, leaving them alone on the cliffside.

It was the last Wish Scanlan could ever make, but every night, for years to come, he’d pray to the Raven Queen, and pray to Ioun, and tell his stories to a boy in black that could never reply.

Jory Marquet for  A Year of Theme Posts

Jory Marquet from the Dollanganger Family series (1979-1986) by V.C. Andrews for August 19, 2017 August, 2017 Favorite Character Theme.

So the books that Jory was in have been adapted into television films, but I was unable to find a decent picture of him alone which is why there is no picture.

Jory makes his first appearance in the second book of the Dollanganger family Petals on the Wind (1980) where he is the first born son to Cathy and her recently deceased first husband Julian. He loves Cathy’s second husband Paul Sheffield as his Father since Jory never knew his birth Father and quickly becomes a big brother when Cathy becomes pregnant with a second son with the Father being her Mother’s second husband Bart Winslow.

In the third book If There Be Thornes (1981) Jory becomes a more prominent character and is seen by his younger brother Bart to be the perfect child. Jory has also followed in his Mother and Father’s footsteps in wanting to become a dancer which causes Bart to hate him more. Unlike Bart, Jory does not latch onto Corrine Foxworth who had recently moved in close to the family home and tells her to leave his brother alone when he becomes suspicious of her behavior. 

In the fourth book Seeds of Yesterday (1984) Jory has grown up and married his childhood sweetheart Melody and has a successful dancing career with this wife as his partner. In preparation for Bart’s twenty fifth birthday party Jory and Melody go to visit him at the newly constructed Foxworth Hall (the original burned down years before) where Bart tells him that he wants his older brother to perform a dance at his wedding.  This dance would prove to be almost fatal for Jory who is severally injured when a prop falls on him breaking his back and leaving him incapable of standing let alone dancing. Following Jory’s accident Melody begins an affair with Bart and after giving birth to Jory’s twin children leaves Foxworth Hall and does not return.

While trying to raise his children without Melody’s help Jory’s relationship with Bart continues to strain, but never completely breaks. Eventually Jory finds help to raise his children and gains a new love interest in the process when Cathy hires a woman named Toni to help take care of him and eventually Jory and Toni marry after Toni finds out that she pregnant with his child.

In the Lifetime film of If There Be Thrones (2015), Jory was portrayed by Jedidiah Goodacre and in the Lifetime film of Seeds of Yesterday (2015) an older Jory was portrayed by Anthony Konechny.
