'Til i forget what i felt in the first place

In which Rayla sings a lullaby, and Soren finds it oddly familiar. Co-written and edited by the supremely talented @honeii-puff! I write the Soren POV chapters, she writes the Corvus POV chapters. Also on Ao3 and it has a playlist!

They didn’t stop until the sun had disappeared from the sky the following day and the moon was rising. Soren was exhausted, carrying a far heavier load than the others what with his bulky armor. He was grateful to sit down and catch his breath when Rayla finally called for them to stop. Even she couldn’t keep going forever.

But it was once they’d stopped that the divide between the two sides of their little makeshift camp began to feel noticeable. Soren had chosen a large tree to lean against, unclipping the sword from his belt and lying it beside him. Runaan had settled against a tree opposite him, a little ways off into the forest. Rayla and Callum were quick to fall into place beside him.

It made sense. Runaan was Rayla’s Dad, of course she wanted to spend some time with him. And it wasn’t like Callum was going to ditch his girlfriend to come and sit with Soren. But still, it hurt. Just a little bit.

Not all of them being over there and him being here, that he didn’t care about. Rayla and Callum could sit where they liked.

It was just that there was nobody to come and sit beside Soren. 

He waited just until his legs had stopped burning before pushing himself to his feet and clipping his sword back to his belt.

“I’m going to go and get us some firewood.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea? They might be able to see the smoke.” Rayla interjected.

“It’s going to be cold tonight.” Soren pointed out. “And I don’t know about you, but I didn’t pack a blanket.”

None of them could argue with that, so they let him wander off into the steadily darkening trees. Soren gathered wood until his arms were full and twigs were spilling out with every step. Unable to fit anymore, he found little excuse not to return to camp.

He got back to find them in a similar state as before; all huddled on one side of the small clearing, chattering amongst themselves. Callum said something that made Rayla laugh, and even coaxed a small smile out of Runaan (Soren was beginning to realize that that was as good as you were going to get with him). 

“I got firewood!” he said loudly, dumping it in the middle of the clearing. They all glanced up at him as he began clearing leaves and other debris out of the way.

“Could somebody hand me those stones?” he asked, gesturing to a small pile that had collected between the roots of a nearby tree.

Runaan passed them to him without a word, one by one, and Soren used them to build a ring to contain the fire. Sitting back, he inspected his work and wiped his forehead.

“That should do nicely.”

“It looks really good, Soren.” Rayla said, scooting closer. It was already getting cold. “Now how do we light it?”

“Uhhh.” Soren glanced around the space, thoughtfully chewing his bottom lip. “We’ll just have to use good old fashioned camping know-how.”

“I’ve got it!” Callum said before Soren could begin. He leaned forward, reciting some gobbledygook in whatever-language and tracing a shape in the air. His fingers moved too fast for Soren to make it out, and then they were sparking. He threw the little bolts of lighting into the bundle of dry twigs Soren had gathered and they burst into flame.

“There we go. Fire handled.” Callum puffed out his chest like some sort of strutting bird.

“Is that a new spell?” Rayla asked, turning to him.

“Yep.” Callum said, settling back with his hands folded behind his head. He snapped his fingers, a few stray sparks flying into the air. “Pretty neat, huh?”

“Very.” Rayla said with a playful smile. “There’s no mage quite like you.”

“You could say-” Callum sat up abruptly, throwing her a questioning glance. “Are you making fun of me?”

Rayla rolled her eyes. “Of course not, my most talented mage. I’m being entirely serious.”

“You are teasing me.” Callum chuckled, draping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her in for a quick kiss.

Soren glanced away, feeling a little awkward as the pair of them continued teasing and making eyes at each other. His gaze met Runaan’s as the other elf also looked away, and they shared a sigh. Soren smiled.

The fire burned long into the night, well after Rayla and Callum had - thankfully - reverted to their non-flirtatious selves. They could be so embarrassing, sometimes. Soren was glad he never acted like that.

He poked the fire with a stick. It was getting late, the moon already high above them. They were all on edge, waiting for someone to come barging out of the woods and… Soren didn’t know what. Arrest them? Tell them that King Ezran was disappointed in them? That would probably be worse.

The little creature (rat? monkey? lemur?) on Rayla’s shoulder chirruped, and she lifted it up, cradling it in her arms.

“Shhh, Stella. It’s okay. Go to sleep now.”

She cleared her throat, leaning back against the fall tree beside Callum and humming a soft tune under her breath. After a moment, she began to sing. “Though the sky is dark tonight, I still shine for you, my dear.”

The moon twinkled above them, and Soren settled back against his tree, feeling his own eyes growing heavy. There was something oddly familiar and comforting about the lullaby.

“The moon is more than just her light. I am near, my love is here.” Rayla crooned. 

Soren’s eyes drifted shut. 

Either the room he was in was large, or he was small. Very small. A voice came to him through the foggy echoes of memory, soft and low.

“Though you feel so much alone-” Soren was vaguely aware of a hand gently stroking the hair back from his face. “Oh, my darling, do not fear.”

He tried to place the voice - the touch - to a face. But the more he clung to the dream the more it slipped away.

“Hold to what you’ve always known. I am near, my love is here.”

Soren felt his chest grow tighter, and was suddenly aware of just how little air was in his lungs. The moment began to break apart at the edges, the pieces that remained growing in clarity as he struggled to draw in a breath.

The singer’s voice broke, but she didn’t stop. “Though my face cannot be seen, the answer in your heart is clear.”

Soren drew in a shallow, heaving breath. The hand brushed the damp, sticky strands of his hair back from his forehead.

“I am the moon, the silver queen.”

The face above him swam into focus, soft and kind. Her smile was sad, but warm. The moonlight filtering through the window above Soren’s bed reflected in her eyes, making them shine just like the little silver cuffs on her horns.  “I am near, my love is here.” Lissa told him.

A Family Tradition - Ruthari/moonfam fic

Rating: T

Words: 2k

Characters: Runaan, Ethari, Rayla, Callum

Summary: After Rayla is unghosted, the moonfam finally return to the treehouse. Runaan has trouble accepting his positive new reality, but Ethari is there to help. And give him tea.

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

i'm grateful you're my daughter more than anything

Post 6x09, Runaan finds Rayla as she takes care of Callum. She's changed, and he couldn't be a prouder father.

Felt cute might put up on ao3 later :b

The first moment they had alone was in the dead of the night, moon high above the Nexus. It felt fitting, almost full-circle.

On his way down the hall to the library, to get parchment to send a letter to Ethari explaining what could never truly be explained, at least not fully, Runaan spotted Rayla slipping down the hall, footsteps light and quick as a true assassin's, despite how opposite of one she was, a steaming teacup on a little plate in her hands.

She looked up when she heard him, smiling a little as her low ponytail swung. "Runaan. ...Hey." She cleared her throat. "How- how are you feeling?"

He shrugged in the enormously oversized nightshirt the lumberjack human, Allen, had lent him. It was off-putting, being out of his form-fitting, safe garb, especially in this strange, unknown place he should very well have felt relaxed in- a full moon, at the Moon Nexus, but all Runaan could feel was... odd. "As good as one can, I suppose. How are you, though? How is your human? Clem- Camel? Stop me when I get it right-"

She laughed, and it wasn't a snarky one he'd grown so accustomed to. "Callum." A smile ticked her lips upwards at his name. "His name's Callum. And he's-" Rayla looked away to the wall, the little table she elected to set the tea down on, anywhere but him. "He's okay. I think. Mostly in shock. But he'll get through it." The unspoken words hung in the air, a truth both of them hated knowing: What other choice does he have?

"He's got you," Runaan offered, drawing closer. "That's pretty damn good."

She laughed again, a real, merry one, despite the bitter undertones. "Yeah. Some cuddles and tea are all I can do until morning. Bright and early, we go to Katolis." She made a face, and at least that was the same- her utter hatred of mornings.

Just like that, Runaan found himself relaxing just a little more into her presence. No longer a little girl he felt the need to protect- Well, she would always be that, his beloved daughter once he started acting like it, but someone he trusted to have his back. Even with how much she'd changed, not everything had.

"I will be up with the sun," he promised, and she looked away. That had just been one more thing setting her apart from the rest back at the Silvergrove, during training: her adamant refusal to awaken at the crack of dawn for early-morning runs and sparring.

Good. Please, let her never be like the Silvergrove, Runaan prayed now, just as he had so many moons ago with Ethari after Lain and Tiadrin left. Let her never have the hardened heart of an assassin, the only ones the community would spare the time of day. She had an out, and one look at her and Callum was enough for Runaan to know that she'd take it and never look back.

"Well, I should get this to Callum," Rayla said awkwardly, stilted, moving to take the cup, but Runaan stopped her with a gentle touch to her wrist. "Rayla, wait." Gentle, the way he'd be with Ethari. Because this was his daughter, not a member of his troupe or someone under his jurisdiction. His family.

She pursed her lips slightly and shook her loose bangs out of her eyes, and Runaan couldn't help but remember back to her parents. She was the perfect combination of them, with Lain's braids and horns, Tiadrin's nose and face shape, and her lavender eyes unique only to her. Setting her apart. "Yeah?"

He drew his hand back. "I've never seen you like this," he said, admittedly curiously.

Rayla tilted her head, questioning kindly rather than the abrasive, aggressive way she'd always done before. "Like what?"

"Giving," Runaan said, because that was the first word that came to him. Rayla had always been kind and generous and loving, no matter how she'd hated to show it. "Kind. Loving. Happy."

She took a hesitant step closer, reaching to rest her gentle, small hand on his upper arm, blinking furiously.

"It's a good look on you." He blinked his own tears away as she bit back a sob-ridden laugh. "The best one."

Rayla ducked her head, bangs swinging with the motion. "Thank you. That... It means a lot. So much."

Runaan clasped her hands, drinking the sight of his daughter in. So small physically, but larger than life. So, so loved and gorgeous, inside and out, and he was sure her human made sure she knew it, too.

"You have a beautiful heart, Rayla," he said eventually, softly. "The most gorgeous I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My worst regret is trying to burn it away instead of nurturing it. And for that..." A hand found its way to lay over his heart, bringing a sniffling Rayla’s with it. "I am truly sorry."

"Runaan..." She shook her head, reaching up to wipe away his tears, and they were the softest fingertips Runaan could remember, his own and Ethari's so calloused and rough. And here was Rayla, giving and gentle. The daughter he'd always dreamed of but never deserved. "Don't," she said firmly. "It was my choice. My choices. I had to find my way here on my own. In the end..." She glanced back down the hall, to the closed door that the boy she loved more than life rested behind. "I like where it got me. I'm glad I'm here."

"Rayla..." Runaan tucked her hair behind her ears, pressing their foreheads together. "I don't know what it means to you, but I am so proud of you. I love you, Little Blade. You are my daughter. I only hope you'll let me be your father."

Rayla threw her arms around him, sending him stumbling back in shock, immediately holding her back. "Of course. I'd forgiven you a long time ago, Runaan. I'm so glad you're my father. You always will be. I love you."

And he'd already said it tonight, but Runaan had spent far too much time hating and killing, and not nearly enough loving. So he hugged her back, whispering, "I love you, too."

[zuppizup]

Imagining the shock of Tiadrin and Lain post-coining seeing Rayla go from their little girl to a grown woman

TDP S7E4 Rewatch (feat. my commentary)

I appreciate that they didn’t keep us waiting for too long with the Ruthari reunion. I know some shows that would hold off until the finale to give us something like that

Runaan and Ethari’s interaction was every bit as angsty and tender as I wanted it to be <333 (also my first time watching, I got really excited with the confirmation that Ethari is, in fact, taller)

The music in these first few scenes was absolutely gorgeous btw

Is this the first time we’ve seen Terry sleeping? Good on him for getting some much-needed rest! NOT SO GOOD OF HIM TO BE SLEEPING IN HIS BINDER THOUGH BIND SAFELY FOLKS

Why would a glow toad need to pretend to be an elf?

I assume Ethari can see Rayla because he’s outside the confines of the Silvergrove?

Love how casually Aaravos countered Terry’s magic, simple displays of power go a long way in making your villain seem more menacing

Rewatching the introduction to Keeper Lyrennus, you can tell he saw Runaan and got a rush of false hope that maybe Ram was alive too

“Both of us” the Moonfam means so much to me

The scene between Terry and Aaravos was so good for so many different reasons

Terry’s animation is very well done! Aaravos’ monologue playing over our characters as he talks about the loss of innocence. I really expected the credits to roll after he finished talking but we’re only halfway done??

I have questions about how the Ritual of the New Moon works – are the assassins spirits or illusions?

Absolutely loved the callbacks to the first episode in Rayla’s speech

And the in-show acknowledgement of the assassin’s names!

The character acting from Claudia and Terry during their breakup was so strong! I love seeing when our little 3D models get to be more lifelike

Has anybody else noticed the inconsistent lighting on the Moonfam & Callum when they’re outside? Like they’re torn between warm and cool lighting?

See, Rayla? This is how you talk to a person who’s lost a family member because of an assassin. Now, apply what you learned to Ezran to complete your arc this season

Claudia lying on the floor was just like me fr

I haven’t gone back and actually checked, but it felt like Claudia parroted to Aaravos what Terry told Claudia after Viren left for Katolis

Single father Terry arc, lets go!

Overall thoughts:

Loved this episode the first time, loved it again this time. It’s honestly one of my favourite episodes, not just of the season, but of the entire arc. A lot of the character moments were animated very well and the voice acting was great! The writers knew what they wanted to accomplish, and they did it as efficiently as possible. I’m a little torn though, because I wish we’d seen more progress on the Sunfire or Katolis plotlines, even if it was only one or two scenes. But then again, I’d rather have an episode that focuses on one/two ideas than an episode that feels all over the place with crowded storylines

[halyasgirl]

“Do you remember your histories, Runaan?” 

“Yes, Mother.” 

“Very good. Tell me.”

Or how an assassin is made.

Runaan, from first to last.

[numptypylon]

The bowl wasn’t where it was supposed to.

Or… it was, was the thing.

Since… Runaan… he hadn’t bothered to but his porridge bowl in the bottom cabinet, because he just used the same single one every morning and left it to air dry. Runaan, for all his amazing qualities, had been wanting in clutter-tolerance.

And yet, the bowl was in the bottom cabinet.

Ethari had thought… the food that had gone missing… that adoraburrs had gotten into the house or the neighbor’s bottomless pit of a 13-year-old boy had gotten hungry and snuck in.

But now…?

There wasn’t a single thing not where it was supposed to be.

But once he had seen that bowl in the bottom cabinet, where it was supposed to go but hadn’t, he saw other things.

An indent in the couch cushions, not big enough to have been his arse. And besides, he never sat there in the couch because that had been her spot-

Hair on his brush too long to have been his.

Missing teeth cleaner pods.

A rag at the bottom of the laundry basket with a pinkish stain that made his stomach clench.

Ethari got a mirror-polished, wide-bladed dagger from the forge, before heading upstairs.

The bed in Rayla’s room made too well, too carefully, too recently.

Footsteps in the layer of dust on the floor.

Marks in the dust, like from her old toy chest Lain and him had made for her, having been pulled out from under the bed.

Nothing missing though, everything was in its place.

It was definitely her. Who else would have broken into his house and left barely a trace and slept in his child’s bed and then made the bed and looked at her things without taking anything.

Ethari’s fingers graced the soft fur of her old winter hat that he’d pretended he didn’t know she had kept.

There had been so much pretense. Maybe if there’d been less, she-

Ethari bit down on the choking thing in his throat, and pretended, for a bit longer, because he had brought the dagger for a reason and maybe… maybe he had time to find her still, to stop her, this time, from going off on a dark path she was too young and too good for.

But there was nothing, just mirrored reflections of empty corners and empty beds.

She was already gone.

———

The second of a series of drabbles about Rayla during the time skip, from various characters’ pov that she encounters, or in this case, doesn’t. First was Nyx, it’s in the [outside in] tag

There's a few references in this to the Silvergrove chapter of Upside Downtime, my Rayla pov missing canon scenes fic. That chapter can be read without reading the rest of the fic, if you want more moonfam angst.

[beautifulterriblequeen]

She can help save the world, but she still needs her dads!

I really liked how 7x04 showed how young Rayla actually is.

Early on in the episode we see peak teen Rayla logic where she thinks that the best course of action is to slip away from the Silvergrove before Runaan learns that she's been ghosted as she doesn't want to worry them or ruin his reunion with Ethari. When in reality Runaan and Ethari discovering that she'd run away would have only increased their worry for her.

Then we get her being unaware that Lyrennus was Ram's father. She was 15 when she left the Silvergrove and during her own training and years with Runaan and Ethari she was focused on her own journey and her family and had yet to start learning about her the personal lives of her fellow assassins who she probably only interacted with during training sessions.

And finally a small moment. I feel that Rayla's run to Runaan and Ethari just after she had been unghosted was childlike, just the way she ran reminded me of a kid.

[no-cinnamon-for-synonym]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written then pass it on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self love ❤

Grovebound: it's about Runaan leaving on a mission and returning home with a child. I love it so much because of how I portrayed the dynamics between each of the assassins. That was a lot of fun to write. Then, of course, I got to write fluffy Ruthari being dads.

You Had One Job: this one was fun to write. There's so much potential for the Runaan and Callum dynamics, so I wanted to write something where Runaan threatens Callum for "endangering" his babygirl. Rayla is the only thing connecting them and urging them to get along, so.

Guardian Spirits: I believe this was early on in my collection of prose fics. This one is about Runaan and Ethari becoming dads, but the way biological children are made in this au is... not what you would think. Babies are like potatoes, you see. You pull them from the ground. Naturally.

Cuddle It Better: my fave crackfic. Set in S4 after we got the preview of (almost) everyone on Zubeia after leaving Katolis, before the season dropped. It focuses on Stella and Callum back when the Evil Lemur Theory was popular. It was so much fun to write and it still makes me cackle on each reread.

Covered in the Colours of You: my first smutfic! :D It's hhhhh. Hot. Very very hot. Take a look through the tags if you dare. 😏

You can also read my Ruthari mpreg and trans/enby Ethari one shot collection, which only has 2 chapters, but still. I'd like to get back to it, but I think I would just start a new au for that one and do things differently. We'll see.

None of these even brush on my one shot collection:

Chapter 2--Husband for Sale: this was the first story I ever wrote that felt... right. You can all thank this one shot for kicking my inner writer into gear. I wouldn't be the person I am today without it. It's about Ruthari getting into an argument, followed by crack.

Chapter 9--Convincing Runaan 101: Runaan and Ethari prepare to leave Rayla home alone for a while, but they have concerns. Rayla says she's no longer a child, but Runaan's dark past still haunts him. Soft moonfam ensues, followed by Ethari seducing his husband to compromise.

Chapter 14--The Angels Were Always Looking: Runaan grows flowers that bloom in the winter in his garden. Ethari likes to pick them, but he suspects Runaan doesn't know. Another prose fic. One of the chapters I'm most proud of in this collection.

Chapter 16--These Scars That Make Us Strong: soft body worship.

Chapter 18--I'll Never Leave: one of my best pieces of writing. Soft moonfam dealing with the fallout of wee Rayla coping after her parents leave. Dadnaan follows.

Thanks for sending this, fam!

Hiya you can call me Soren / Thief till I figure out what my name is. This is the blog of someone who knows very little about themself other than their fandom so expect changes to everything except my level of nerdiness, which will only continue to grow. I aspire to someday be an androgynous, whimsical autumn fairy, but right now I'm only human. Either way, I prefer they/them pronouns.

I'm a virtual assistant by day, aspiring author also by day because sleep is important and I have the bedtime of a grandma despite being in my twenties. I love stories more than anything in the whole wide world (other than my family, love yall). So on this blog expect to get heavily, and regularly, inundated with Dragon Prince fics, edits, and theories.

I'm not a hater, so please don't come at me with that negativity. I'm trying to keep the vibes good in my little corner of the internet. I ship a lot of ships and I have a lot of headcanons, so be aware of that. You don't have to interact with any that you don't like, but let's keep it positive regardless.

I do take fic and edit requests, and my ask button is always open, so feel free to message me stuff. I will usually try to reply because I'm chronically online. However I've also always got at least 27 irons in the fire at once (specifically that number) so if I reply super duper slow it's not cause I hate you or anything, it's just cause I suck at time management.

I am a witch so if you're mean to me I will put a hex on you. You've been warned.

Fandom ask game: 6, 9, and 11!

omg yay thank you, let's gooooooo

6. something you see in art a lot and love

I am weak for Ruthari art where one of them is sleeping on top of the other, and they're both just completely crashed out. Absolute epitome of "let them rest." So many artists draw and writers write this very specific pose that I feel we are all just sleep deprived fools who need a full night's sleep but we can't get it so we give it to them instead and I love that for us actually.

Let them rest. Let us all rest. So say we all.

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

Kimditi. They jumped me in a dark alley! I was unprepared! 22% of their fics on ao3 are mine, as of today.

I also really enjoy Janaya, who are far calmer in vibes and whom I can actually watch on the screen anytime I want to.

11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

OH THIS IS HARD HOW DO I CHOOSE AMONG MY CHILDREN LIKE THIS

uh uh ummm uhhhhh

Probably either Moonberry Wishes for feel-good feels,

or Taking the Plunge for BH-canon compliant Ruthari,

or Free Rooster for being absolute guano loco hilarious,

or House Rules for moonfam feels, god I love this one,

or A Hundred Hellos for a fun format I just made up and stuck with for 100 separate scenes AND ACTUALLY FINISHED,

or my unfinished modern AU Ruthari longfic Seeing the Light which ended up hitting me like a truck

I just. love writing. so much okay. I love making stuff up, I love writing it down, it's all so different and it each has an emotional niche and I really really really can't pick one, this was hard enough as it is!!!

[medu-nefer]

I second this!! @beautifulterriblequeen is the celebrity of tdp fandom, especially the ruthari and moonfam parts of it.

I lowkey pay more attention to their posts than the official tdp account's 😅 And the fics? *chef's kiss*

omg they captured the feeling perfectly

When Runaan returned to Katolis, not even Rayla could keep him from their justice. But Ethari trekked across a zombie-filled continent to reach his husband. He's not going to let prison separate them.

(Where Runaan was arrested after returning to Katolis, Ethari refused to leave him, and was imprisoned with him as a result).
