The Canon Muse List of Of Darkest Desires and Darkest Desires Erotica

So many people have been asking about this...for years now. I specifically don't list the canon characters that I write for because that list is lengthy, and changes with the wind and my personal muse. However, since it is a new year, I suppose it's time we did a full canon character list for this blog. And, as an added note, I will also add at the end of each section notable OC muses that belong to these specific worlds.

Quick key before we get to the list, though: if a character is one of my favorites, they will be bolded and colored. If a character can be written genderswapped, they will be italicized. If a character is written non-canonically, they will be struck-through.

・ JON BERNTHAL as 𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐄𝐒𝐇𝐊𝐎𝐋 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐕 ✦ FORTY-SIX

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐘 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄. 𝐈𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐀. The dichotomy of war-torn soldier and impassioned scholar amalgamate in one, grief-stricken man. A widower of six years and, therefore, single father of three provides his daily and insurmountable challenge. The magic and mystery of archaeology that once enchanted him has become tired and he, too, has become tired. Within his ever deepening complexity there is a framework to be found—one outlined by humility, assertion, and fatherhood. This muse is established and is available for new plots.

・ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘 / 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 / 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 / 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒

character parallels include: professor (money heist), minerva mcgonagall (harry potter), marty bryd (ozark), kim wexler (better call saul), miranda bailey (greys anatomy), gus fring (breaking bad), li shang (mulan), jack crawford (hannibal), tissaia (the witcher)

Okay so....

I have some OC muses that I've only been using on d!scord and I kinda wanna bring them here if anyone is interested;

They are all ST oc's and yes, they are all music related fc's. I don't know if I will bring them over here, if I do that means I really need to work on their bios which Ive been putting off for over a month now for most of them at least, some of them are still new to the mix.

#out of crazy (ooc)#don't mind me #none of them would use icons because I'm lazy #and hunting down screencaps for them would be a nightmare #now I shall go back into hiding for a bit

When Fates Align

Summary: Bren and Nix take some time to get to know the ins and outs of their new barony. In the quest to clean out the old hideouts and build a more reliable map, they come across some unusual belongings that seem too good to be true, and Bren comes face to face with his past when the path takes him back to where he was held captive... (Part 1/2)

POV: 1st and 3rd Person

Co-creator: @my-fandom-musings

Warnings: PTSD, Flashbacks, Mention of Death

Divider Credit: firefly-graphics

I was surprised that none of the other barons came gunning for us those first few days getting acquainted with Jacobee's territory, our territory. It was almost unbearably quiet, and then those who had fled in the wake of Jacobee’s capture seemed to resurface overnight. In one day, plus Minerva lending us some help, we managed to at least get the mansion in a state of repair, livable and secure enough for us to survive.

I had always dreamed of something like this, but not running a territory, not running a barony. Perhaps it had been a foolish decision, but it was my decision nonetheless. A hand touched against my elbow lightly, bringing me from the reverie, and I looked to find one of Jacobee’s loyal few, Dominique, standing beside me at the gates, horses’ reins in hand.

“Baron.” It didn’t matter that I had tried to save Jacobee. What mattered to them was that I’d killed the one who had succeeded him, the one who had killed him. What mattered to them was the possession of the signet ring, the balls to claim it from Quinn. I couldn’t begin to tell them how much I hated it. I hoisted myself to the back of the horse, taking the reins and following him out into the wilds.

It made me uncomfortable to do this. I was never one to keep a good poker face but I’m sure my brow was furrowed and my face contorted into something like a scowl. Part of our move to reclaim the barony was to suss out all the hideouts and see if they could be used for anything else. I knew that eventually we would come across the one that I had been held captive in, and that thought made my stomach turn. I would have to come face to face with my sins one day; I just didn’t expect it to be so soon. There was a nudge at my leg and I glanced over to see Nix at my side.

“Are you alright?” I realized that I had been zoned out again.

“Well, I...” It was stupid to wish that Quinn and Sunny were here with us. Much as I could use the reassurance of Quinn at my back, I didn’t want him to see this as weakness either, and I knew a man like him would. “Well let’s just say that I’m not looking forward to this.” Dominique glanced back sharply.

“Baron?” He was one of the few that had explicitly been made aware of the situation, which was why now he did not often leave my side. Even if I didn’t see him, he was usually there. “If it bothers you...”

“It needs to be done.” I replied. “We’ve waited long enough. It isn’t going to fix itself.”

“As you command, Baron.”

Most of the hideouts were empty. But one could tell that it had either sheltered nomads or runaway cogs in the recent past. Either way, it was getting marked on a map along with whatever resources that could be salvaged from it. There were more pronounced roads in this barony than I remember but I suppose transporting precious metals would do that. The search continued for days, until we were tired of riding horseback and making camp in these abandoned hideouts. I knew enough to know that we were starting to approach the western borders, surroundings vaguely familiar. What wasn’t familiar was the stretch of mountains in front of us.

“Where was I being held, Dominique?” I asked.

“Reports say that Jacobee’s secondary headquarters were stationed in this mountain chain. According to Sunny and Quinn and uh, the Baroness, you were being held at a rail station on the Northwestern side of the mountains. And trekked your way into the Widow’s territory shortly after.”

“How did we get here this fast?” I wondered aloud. Dominique’s brow furrowed. “I don’t remember walking this far.”

“You can ride the border line a lot faster.”

“I don’t remember being on horseback. I don’t remember much of anything.” His eyes flicked to the side.

“Jacobee was a known field medic. He may have had no other choice but to drug you.” The words sent a chill down my spine. It was true enough. I knew my mind would block things out that were severely detrimental to me. But everyone who had been involved in that ordeal was dead now. I had no way to confirm such things.

“We don’t have to do this.” Nix pressed into my side. “You don’t have to do this.”

“No, I don’t.” I murmured quietly. “But I’m going to. Take us in, Dominique.”

“Yes, Baron.” We followed in the wake of him and the other Clippers, entering into the underground cavern. It was like... if one could describe it, was everything one could imagine the great halls of Erebor to be, albeit a little bit dusty in some parts, but tunnels wide enough to run horses through, minecarts abandoned and filled with precious metals and gems, great forges that had lain cold for a long time.

“Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old

We must away ere break of day

To find our long forgotten gold.”

For a moment, I could imagine that this was another world. That we had been taken somewhere that wasn’t the Badlands. That we were with the company entering Erebor for the first time. Hopefully ,we wouldn’t find a dragon here among everything else. Dominique twisted in the saddle to look at me behind him.

“The pines were roaring on the height,

The winds were moaning in the night.

The fire was red, it flaming spread;

The trees like torches blazed with light.”

I realized that Nix had joined in beside me, our voices mingling and reverberating off the walls of the mountain cavern.

“We have no tactical advantage with you doing that.” Dominique whispered. I ignored them for now, continuing to hum under my breath. He must have gotten the gist that I was on edge because he didn’t press it again, simply signaling his men ahead through the tunnels. Much as I didn’t want to be in here, I knew eventually that we would have to stop and rest for the night, and I wanted to condition myself out of being hyper alert down here when there was no clear end in sight. The last thing I wanted to have was a panic attack.

Morning couldn’t come quick enough. “You need to eat. Keep your strength, Baron.” Dominique murmured.

“I’m not hungry. There’s no use eating it just to see it again after a couple hours. I’m sure you or your men would be better suited to--”

“I’ll hold on to your ration then, in case you get hungry later.” He murmured, hand on my shoulder. The chances of that were slim to none, but I wasn’t going to argue with him either, following him to mount up and hopefully finish this journey of following the rail out. Instead we were rewarded with the tunnel opening up to what could have been the engine shed, if one could ignore the fact that it looked more like an airplane hangar than an actual engine shed. If it hadn’t been for the rail running through it, I would have said otherwise. Still it was nice to have a breath of fresh air, and the Clippers were beginning to dismount and have a look around. In the midst of the mountains was this little dollop of paradise surrounding this building that led farther into the mountains.

“We camp here before we go further!” Dominique called out, giving the horses a chance to rest that wasn’t in a cramped space. I couldn’t blame them. It had been starting to feel quite claustrophobic in those tunnels. Something called to me out here. Maybe it was panic, knowing we were headed in the direction where I’d woken up a captive. Maybe not.

“You look green.” Dominique crouched to my side. “Are you sure you’re not hungry?”

“I...” I started quietly. “I would rather be sitting in Quinn’s office having him yell at me than be out here.” Dominique chuckled softly for a moment before he realized that I wasn’t joking.

“I don’t think I’d go up against Baron Quinn, knowing his temper.”

“I would rather.” I grumbled quietly, pulling my knees to my chest.

“Do you want to go exploring and get your mind off... everything?” Nix poked her head into the tent, offering me a hand.

“Sounds like a plan.” I took her hand, pulling myself to my feet. If I sat there any longer thinking about everything that had happened, I was going to work myself into a full blown panic attack. Days like this, I wished that we weren’t an entire barony away, or I would have holed myself up inside Waldo’s cabin by now.

“Seven Hells,” Nix looked up at the giant building. “If I didn’t know any better, I would swear it was an airplane hanger.”

Bren looked shocked. “Yeah, I don’t remember seeing anything like this on the show. I don’t remember being in any place like this.”

“What the hell was Jacobee using it for?”

“Guess there’s one way to find out.”

“Yup. Let’s see what’s behind door number one.”

Bren and Nix each grabbed a large door and began to pull. Dust flew out of the opening and a coughing fit ensued. Once everything settled down, it was easier to see inside. There were a couple of boxes scattered around. But towards the back, covered in a large tarp, was a hulking mass that was hard to make out.

“I have no idea what’s under that tarp, but the way it’s draped it almost looks like a giant French croissant.”

Bren laughed at Nix’s description. She wasn’t wrong, but now he couldn’t get the image of a giant pastry out of his head. She walked forward and then suddenly flew face first into the ground. Nix managed to use her hands to break her fall, but that didn’t stop Bren from running over.

“Nix, are you ok?”

“Yeah, I just tripped. Though, I could have sworn that damn box wasn’t there a minute ago.”

Bren looked over and sure enough, there was a small box that he swore wasn’t there before. He reached for the offending item and opened it up.

“So? What came for my life so sneakily?”

“Uh, books? But not ones I recognize. One says A Storm of Swords?”

Nix blinked. “I’m sorry, what?!”

She scrambled over on her hands and feet over to the box and ripped it open. She pulled out the book Bren mentioned and another. “Holy shit. A Dance of Dragons. A Clash of Kings. A Feast for Crows. I can’t believe it!”

“What is it?”

Nix pulled out the last book and turned it to face Bren. A Game of Thrones. “It’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Or rather, the books that were out when we went through the portal. Makes sense the last two aren’t here.”

“It does?”

“Martin only wrote pieces of Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring was still just ideas. Hence why the last couple of seasons of Game of Thrones were lackluster at best amongst the book fans. What the hell are these doing here?”

“Beats me. Do you think….?”

Nix instantly caught on and ran off to the large form. “That maybe we got gifts from our world? Hard to say. But can you imagine having a plane in the Badlands? Or a tank. Or whatever is under this?”

But something at the base of the massive form caught Nix’s attention. Bren noticed it was a short sword, sheathed, with a golden handle. Nix looked absolutely transfixed by it.

“Nix? What is it? Is it a sword?”

She pressed her lips together before turning to face Bren. “It’s more complicated than that. I think…I think we’re getting gifts from other worlds. Not just ours.”

Bren furrowed his brows and came closer. “Why do you think that?”

“This sword…it’s not one from our world or the Badlands. The hilt - the parts not gold - are black. That’s dragon bone. Which means the blade…” Nix unsheathed the sword, “Is Valyrian steel.”

“Which is….?”

“Remember how I told you about the Ice Zombies from the books/shows that were impossible to kill without a special sword? Yeah, this is one of those swords. Valyrian steel - also known as Dragon Steel - is a special material in Westeros and Essos. When the Doom of Valyria happened, the ability to make this metal went with it. It’s lighter than steel but far stronger. Some think dragon glass and dragon fire were used to make it.”

“Dragon glass?”

“Obsydian.”

Bren blinked. “Are you saying?”

“Yes, Martin took a real world material and gave it magical properties. This sword is known as Dark Sister if my memory serves correctly.”

“Odd that you would be granted such a specific item.”

Nix’s eyes were focused on the blade, speaking to herself. “Queen Rhaenys wielded Dark Sister while riding atop…”

Bren watched as Nix gasped so hard she almost dropped the sword. “What?!”

“Queen Rhaenys wielded Dark Sister while she rode atop Meraxes!”

Bren’s jaw dropped. “The same Meraxes…”

“Yes! The same Meraxes I put in Timeless Warrior!”

Nix raced the rest of the way to the large form, grabbed the tarp, and tugged. The cloth dropped to reveal a large, mechanical dragon curled into a ball as if it was sleeping. With a black suit hanging off one of the horns on its head.

“Mother of Dragons,” Nix muttered to herself. “I will take what is mine. With Fire and Blood.”

“What?” Bren looked at Nix.

“Fire and Blood. They are the Targaryen words. Each house has them. But that whole sentence was something Daenerys said when someone tried to push her down. Keep her down.”

In the meantime of Nix celebrating the find of Meraxes, I found myself staring into the foreboding abyss of the continuing tunnel. For whatever reason, fate or fear, I found myself drawn more and more to it.

“Bren?” Nix’s voice was faint now, question in her voice. I didn’t immediately reply, making my way further into the tunnel until I came up against something rather unyielding.

“Baron?” Yes, I’m sure that these tunnels could be unsafe, home to wildlife or something much worse, but I had collided with something metal. Given a few minutes more, Dominique was sprinting down the tunnel with a lantern in hand. “Baron!”

“I’m fine.” I replied, taking a step up now that light was spearing down the tunnel, keeping a hand out on this large metallic object. A smear of red paint beneath a thick coating of soot caught my attention and I didn’t care about dirtying my sleeve as I wiped through it, revealing a gold emblazoned number on the side: six one one. “You’ve got to be kidding me?!”

“What is it?” Dominique asked. Nix wasn’t far behind him.

“Bren?”

“The 611.” I murmured. “It’s the 611.”

“I don’t follow.” Dominique replied.

“She’s a steam locomotive, a train.” I started.

“Um...”

“Guess that explains how Jacobee transported his gold.” Nix murmured.

“I mean you no offense, Baroness, but it’s my understanding that you and your Baron are the first ones to be out here in a while. This is unknown territory, even to us.” Dominique replied. “It’s possible that Baron Gideon, Jacobee’s father, operated more out of this than he did out of what you considered to be the heart of the barony. The estate grounds were Jacobee’s, even before he became baron at his father’s passing.

“She shouldn’t have been used to transport freight.” I muttered under my breath, taking the lantern from Dominique and following the rail. Guess it made sense now why the tunnels were two rails wide.

“Oh now, look what you’ve done.” Nix chuckled.

“What? She’s not a freighter!” I hollered back down. She wasn’t wrong though. These were freighter cars, loaded with gold and other precious metals, uncut gems and crystals. Jesus. It surprised me that more barons hadn’t contested Quinn’s hand for control of the barony but then again, maybe none of them really wanted to deal with this. I’m not even sure that I wanted to deal with it.

“So what’s in there?”

“A metric ton of gold and other valuable metals, gems and crystals, and only the gods know what else.” I replied, looking down to Nix. “Seriously, she’s not a freighter.”

“I believe you.”

“I’ve heard stories about machines like these.” Dominique murmured. “What do you mean, she’s not a freighter? I thought that was the job for machines like this.”

“I mean sure, she can haul freight. But she’s not built to haul freight.” I took a seat at the top of the mine car. “She’s a high speed passenger locomotive. Well, high speed as in as fast as steam locomotives can get.” I replied.

“Are there faster than uh... steam locomotives?” Nix snorted. “What?”

“It... yeah. Bullet trains. High speed rail.”

“How fast does this one go?” Dominique asked.

“Its cruising speed matches that of a Thoroughbred. However, max speed was clocked at three, nearly four times that of the average horse.”

“Gods.” Dominique muttered.

“And high speed rail is approximately ten times as fast as an average horse.”

“Which clocks it at?” Nix asked.

“310 miles per hour, if I remember my math right.”

“This could change things for the Badlands, if we were able to get her up and running again.” She started.

“There’s some logistics to it, yes. Checking and rebuilding rails in some places, I’m sure. She’ll have to be towed out of here with the draft horses and it’s a long haul to the other side.”

Dominique sighed quietly. “I’ll make a note of it. We’re letting the horses get some rest before we go further, but I’m sure we could...” I waved him off.

“Don’t worry about it. If it’s all the same to you, I’ll be going further on foot. If we come across another train, we may as well be blocked in when it comes to the horses.” Dominique nodded.

“Take your ration at least.” He shoved the packet of dried meat in my direction before heading out in the other direction.

“Coming with me?” I asked Nix quietly.

“Sure as hell not letting you go alone.” She replied. I hopped down from the car, heading down the line. There was nothing but cars and cars and cars filled to the brim with glittering metals and gems and of course coal.

“Mm.” I grunted quietly.

“What is it?” She asked.

“Coal should be at the other end, to be honest with you. They might have known what they were doing, enlisting a train to haul their metals but they sure as hell didn’t know how to take care of her. My only question is... how did she end up here?”

“Do you think she’s a gift from our world?” Nix asked.

“At least you know how to work Meraxes. But the 611? She’ll need a team to get her up and running and then she’ll need a team to keep her running. Sure, she might change travel in the Badlands, but there is no just *she runs*. And honestly as many cars as I’ve counted, it’s no wonder she’s not running. Well, I don’t know. I would hope not. I would hope to get something that I can actually use.” I replied.

There was light now, spearing at us from the end of the tunnel. We took the first few steps out and into the station and I was immediately catapulted into memory.

All I could think about was surviving, about running and getting free, and that didn’t help when there was still a Clipper on my tail. I scrambled down the rail, taking my few seconds head start to hoist myself up onto the concrete platform when a blade buried itself in my leg. I twisted myself, free foot catching just under the chin of the Clipper, kicking him off me and into the wall behind him, an immediate blood spatter beneath the both of us as I managed to pull myself to my feet, sprinting down the hallway. It could have only been a few minutes more before I slowed to a stop because pain was beginning to cloud my senses, and I realized that I was no longer being followed.

“Bren! Brenior!” Nix’s hands on my shoulders pulled me to a stop, and I realized that I had actually been running, that I’d actually hoisted myself up to the platform of the station and booked it down the hallway. I took in a shuddering breath, sagging against the wall and pulling my knees to my chest. “We should have never come--”

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” She slowed to a stop.

“No. You, you didn’t hurt me. But you--”

“I remember... things.” I replied softly, hand resting on a copper stain that had sunk into the concrete beneath me.

“Baron! Baroness!” Dominique’s voice called down the line. I made my way to my feet, stopping short on the platform and surveying down the rest of the line. The bodies had been picked clean, I assumed by wildlife and by nomads, since only the bones remained. A faint scent of death still lingered. “Are you alright?” He took in my harried appearance. “Baron?”

“Can you bury them?” I asked softly.

“We can, Baron.”

“Will you bury them?” I asked again.

“If that is what my baron commands.” Dominique replied. I traveled the length of the rail slowly. Most of the fight that had happened was still blurred in my mind, but the scar on my leg, the memories that came attached to this place were more than proof that it had actually happened. Traveling down the line-- stepping over bones and blood smears-- brought back things that I didn’t want to remember. It surprised me, honestly, that I had survived it at all, outnumbered and outgunned.

The railway led into the engine shed. Had I been of a clearer mind when I was captured, I might have recognized it as anything but a warehouse. In all honesty, if one could ignore the set of rails that crossed it through, it could have been one. I knelt down to the ground, fingers grazing across the gleaming white of bone.

“Are you okay?” Nix asked softly. I shook my head. That was a moot question, it seemed like. It couldn’t have been anyone else. I knew it was Ryder.

“This one too, Baron?” Dominique asked, the others filtering in and out behind him, cleaning up the area.

“No.” I murmured lowly. He has a mother who I know will want to mourn him, and it is the least I can do to bring her son home so that she can bury him at her discretion. “He is coming home with us.” Nix raised an eyebrow slightly in my direction and then realized by the ashen expression on my face why I would take him back with us. Dominique barked out an order for a rudimentary box to be made before directing his attention to the skeleton in the doorway.

“And this one?” I stood, swaying on my feet, making my way to where he still stood.

“Did she have a family?” I asked quietly.

“Pardon me?” Dominique asked.

“Zypher. Did she have family?”

“Not that I’m aware of, Baron. She would have said that her Clippers were her family, as much as any Regent should.”

“Then her final resting place is to be decided by her fellow Clippers.”

“No offense to you, Baron, but we don’t want anything to do with her.” Dominique replied. “I’ll have her bones buried with the other traitors.”

“As is your prerogative.” He nodded curtly to me, having the bones removed. That left one. I stepped inside the small room, no doubt some sort of mechanical storage now that I could look at it with a clearer head, and my gaze shifted down.

For a moment, I lost myself again, lost myself in trying to bind his wound together, hands stained crimson in blood. His touch on my hands, to stop me from wasting the time when we both knew it wouldn’t save him. The strength that had faded from his fingers as his chest has risen and fallen once more, never to rise again. I knew he had saved my life. My only regret was that I couldn’t save his.

“Bren.” Nix’s voice cut through my memory again. I realized that I’d been sitting on the little cot for a lot longer than I had been thinking and that Dominique had his hands on my shoulders.

“We need to get you out of here.” Dominique murmured. “This is taking a toll on you. I’ll bury this one and then we can--”

“No.” I started quietly. “You said Baron Gideon was his father and that Jacobee inherited the barony when he passed. Does he have a grave somewhere?”

“In the City of the Dead. The graveyard between Quinn’s territory and ours.”

“Please.” I murmured. “He doesn’t deserve to be buried alone and forgotten, or beside the people who got him killed.”

“I...” Dominique sighed softly. “I’ll have another box made, okay? We can take him home and put him to rest beside his father. Alright?” I nodded and Dominique made his way from the room.

“I didn’t realize... You don’t talk about it.” Nix murmured lowly.

“I try not to remember it.” I said flatly. “I dream about it more nights than not.”

“Jesus, Bren. You know you can come to me. You know that, right?”

“I know. I just...” I shook my head. “I feel bad for leaving you in Quinn’s territory that night. I mean, you had to go on the run. I can’t imagine... and I don’t want to put anything else on you. I got us into this mess, you know?”

Nix sighed heavily, pulling me into a hug. “You don’t have to face this alone, you know. We’re all the family we have in the Badlands. And as mad as I was about being left alone in Quinn’s territory, that doesn’t mean you can’t come to me.” I let myself be hugged, let myself be loved, resting my head against her shoulder. I was tired; this trip was more than physically draining. Long hours on horseback had tweaked against the scar on my leg and I wanted for nothing more than to be home and in my own bed.

I let go after a moment, watching Dominique lay the bones carefully into the box, packing them away among the other valuables we had found and could transport. “Can you stand to make camp here tonight, or should we move on?” He asked quietly.

Nix pulled back to look at me. “We could even take Meraxes out of here.”

“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

She sighed, “That would entirely depend on the tunnels. But it could be done.”

I shook my head. “It’s probably better if we don’t use her for that just yet.”

“The offer is there if this gets to be too much.” It was already too much. But I wasn’t going to tell her that either. Besides there was no way that we could fit Meraxes through the tunnels with the 611 sitting in them.

“We should head back to the hangar and make our camp there in the valley.” Dominique nodded curtly to me, corralling the Clippers back in the direction we’d come.

“Is there no need to go further out this way?” Nix asked. I shrugged.

“It leads to the river. To the edge of our territory with Baron Rojas and Minerva.” I murmured, stopping for a moment at the edge of the room. I wish I could have seen it in its heyday, but the reality was that it was likely this place would always hold dark memories for me and that I’d never be able to enjoy it in the way that I wanted to. I sighed softly, making my way down the rail again, keeping my hand out to trace my way down the line of mine cars, stopping when we had made our way to the engine again.

“Bren?”

“Sorry, I’ve always wanted to sit in one.” I murmured, hoisting myself up to the cab. Oh, the time had gone where I had known how to run one, my own knowledge lost, but surely someone in the Badlands knew how to fix her up and run her. I took a moment more to lean back, imagining the freedom of running down the rails, steam billowing behind her. But when I opened my eyes again, we were still in the tunnels and she was still quiet and cold. One day, I thought, one day she would have her freedom again. I turned to leave as I could hear Dominique query down the line for me again, when a box sitting on the second seat caught my attention. It wouldn’t have either, if it didn’t look brand new, not covered in soot and ash and coal dust, red cedar glimmering under the low light that speckled in from the end of the tunnel.

I followed the others out, back into the hangar and to the camp that had been made beyond it. I sank into the comfort of my tent, examining the box carefully. “What did you find?” Nix asked.

“I’m not sure. I had a box like this back in our world. Red cedar. A graduation gift.” I murmured quietly. “But that one had a key and uh...” My thoughts trailed off as I opened the box, revealing a simple book, Edible Wild Plants. Trust the fates above all else to give me something useful. “Huh. And a tiny ceramic elephant.” I murmured quietly, handling it carefully, knowing how fragile it was.

“Something legitimately from our world?” Nix asked.

“Yes, something that belonged to me.” It sent a tingle through me just holding it. “I remember that I named it Marco.” The more I talked about it, the more I told its story, the more it seemed to crumble in my hands until it was gone, like chaff on the wind.

“Why would you get it... only to lose it?” Nix asked quietly. “Seems cruel.” I shrugged. If nothing but to see it and hold it for one last time... rather than being ripped away from it and everything else like what had happened when we’d fallen through that portal. If it existed for nothing more than to give me closure of what had happened, then I would take it. “Is there anything else in the box?”

I looked down, examining the box carefully, my fingers closing around the dark stone. I held it up in the fading light. It called to me. It called to me more than anything else had. This was the reason I had gone searching down that dark tunnel. Obsidian, the protective stone. Not a weapon or a machine, but just something to remind me who I was in my heart. Regardless of what happened to me, to us, or what the future would bring, I would still stand to my last breath and protect the people around me.

I closed my hand around it, holding it close, and it was gone. I knew it was gone. Whatever those items had been-- magic or something else-- they had at least existed to give me closure, to give me some peace about living in the Badlands.

“It’s gone, isn’t it? I don’t understand.”

“If nothing else, it gives me some peace about moving forward in the Badlands.” I murmured. “At the very least, the book is helpful.”

“It doesn’t make sense that I would get Meraxes and the Dark Sister and you get virtually nothing.” Nix murmured.

“I guess we’ll just have to see.” I replied, taking the book and thumbing through it. Still in perfect condition. Well, I suppose that it would get its wear in in this world more than in my last one.

“Baron.” Dominique poked his head in the tent. “Dinner.” There was a no-nonsense tone to his voice, the kind that someone would get, I suppose, after watching someone not eat all day. I set the book among my belongings, following him out to where half of the patrol was already gathered around the warmth of a fire in the dying sunlight, the sparks flickering into the rapidly approaching night sky. “You need to keep your strength. Take my ration.”

“Dominique, I appreciate your concern but--”

“Baron, please.”

“I’ll be real with you. I doubt I would be able to stomach two rations. There’s no sense in having my best Clipper down for the count too. Keep it.” I replied, pushing the ration back in his direction, taking a seat amidst the others, opening my own packet of dried meat and drifting into my own headspace as I watched the night fall on the area. So much had changed. So much was changing even now...

Will write out some detailed about page at some time this week.

Note: this is going to be a side muse and I will interact only with people with from I am familiar and comfortable with from @post-mortem-lullabies

In short:

Saint Minerva Sulis is the head of the Sulis family. She got married young to a man twice her age, gave birth to two children early and became a widow before the ripe age of 22 (people think it was a heart attack).

Minerva values time. It’s the only commodity money can not buy and she does not like wasting it.

She’s an odd one among the Celestial Dragons - she does not beat or humiliate her slaves and has not once refused to kill one of her own. While other Dragons might see a cattle and vermin, Minerva sees machine components - a cog may be replaceable but a machine that needs constant repairs causes more loses than one well maintained.

Contrary to what some might expect from an old lady, she supports progress and innovation. The true measure of any being, be it a dog, human or a Celestial Dragon, is how much they give to the world, not take.

From time to time, she invites young Celestial Dragons for a tea, judges their character and either assumes a role of a mentor or never meets them in private again.

Some Other Women, Part I

Been musing about some of the significant figures in Caligula and Nero’s lives that haven’t, as far as I know, made it into Fateverse yet.

(To start off, please note the notorious propagandic tendencies of ancient historians and bear in mind the resulting fuzziness of the facts so I don’t have to pepper this with “Suetonius claimed [XYZ]” or “Tacitus said [ABC]”)

Julia Drusilla (the Elder): Caligula and Agrippina’s younger sister, Nero’s maternal aunt. Rumored to be in an incestuous relationship with Caligula, and if not she was still generally considered his favorite sister. She was cemented in this position by dying before she could ever turn against him. Caligula named Drusilla as his heir when he was sick, and had her declared a goddess after her death.

The same people who said he was screwing Drusilla said that not only was he also having sex with his other two sisters, Agrippina and Livilla, he was pimping them out to his friends. All three sisters were included in the loyalty oath - “I will not value my life or that of my children less highly than I do the safety of the emperor and his sisters” - and put on Caligula’s coins, so it seemed he cared for the other two up until he found out they were plotting against him with Drusilla’s widower Lepidus. Lepidus was executed, and Agrippina and Livilla were exiled - but not before Agrippina was made to carry Lepidus’s ashes to Rome, where they were promptly thrown away without rites. The sisters were recalled from exile once Caligula was dead and their uncle Claudius had taken his place.

Julia Drusilla (the Younger): The daughter of Caligula and Milonia Caesonia. Nero’s first cousin, named after her aunt Drusilla. Said to have been born on the summer day her parents were married, in the ultimate shotgun wedding. Caesonia was said to be not young or pretty, but passionate (though they used ruder words) and of proven fertility - little Drusilla had three older half-sisters. Suetonius portrayed her as a miniature monster who was already trying to blind her playmates, which Caligula took as proof that she was his. I’m more inclined to think she was an ordinary spoiled-rotten toddler. Caligula put her on the lap of a statue of Minerva and charged the goddess with her care, and/or put her on the lap of a statue of Jupiter and said they were both the father. Then he complained that fatherhood was expensive, threw a citywide baby shower to wring money out of people, and rolled around in the takings. His idea of flirting with Caesonia was mentioning how he could have her decapitated any moment or threatening to torture her to make her tell him why he loved her so much.

After Caligula was assassinated, the conspirators went after his family. Caesonia was found mourning by her husband’s body, asking him why he hadn’t listened to her advice (opinions differ as to whether her advice was “those guys are sus, kill ‘em now” or “please stop being such a nut”), and told the assassin to go ahead. After she was stabbed, Drusilla was Baby Aegonned into a wall (in his Claudius novels Robert Graves, who subscribed to the “evil toddler” theory, had her attacking the man who killed her mother. This made it onto Wikipedia for a while. If there’s backing in some source somewhere I haven’t found it. But I like it. It has moxie). She was at most a year and a half old.

Historically, she and her namesake seem to have been the object of Caligula’s devotion far more than Agrippina and Nero (when Agrippina asked him to name baby Nero, he fucked with her by suggesting she name him after their then-derided Uncle Claudius. Funny how life works out). In Fateverse, where he’s established to be fond of Nero, I imagine they were playmates. In the historical timeline Nero would’ve been only a little over three years old when Caligula died, but if she was old enough to remember him she might’ve been old enough to remember her Aunt Caesonia and her baby cousin.

I've batted around the idea of a crackfic where not-exactly-Heroic-Spirit Drusilla is pulled in through an FP summon and given the chance to grow up. She is surrounded by a doting foster family. I have this image of Hektor taking the ribbon off his ponytail and doing her hair with it.

Julia Livilla: Caligula’s youngest sister, Nero’s maternal aunt. After Caligula died, she returned to Rome... and then was exiled again when the Empress Messalina, the Emperor Claudius’s wife, accused her of shtupping Seneca the Younger (yeah, that Seneca). She was later executed in exile under extremely shady circumstances. Seneca was not, and later became Nero’s tutor.

(Side note: Messalina’s eventual downfall led to Nero’s ascent, as Agrippina then married her uncle Claudius and persuaded him to adopt Nero and put him in the line of succession ahead of his biological son Britannicus. My headcanon is that after Messalina’s infidelities he suspected that Britannicus was not, in fact, his biological son)

(Another side note: Caligula didn’t much care for Seneca’s work, calling it “sand without lime” - which apparently means something like a bunch of bon mots with nothing to hold them together.)

MUSE INFO — MELODY ‘MELLIE’ MARGARET GRANT.

formerly found at: politicalgenius.

triggers that may apply: death, loss, grief, child death, depression, alcoholism, overdose, attempted suicide, sexual assault, infidelity, abuse. to be expanded upon as i think of more but hi she deserves hugs and a break.

all information outlined below is based in the latest possible information ( though some still has to be updated as i rewatch ), and can vary by verse. a lot of it is headcanon based, and has developed over my time writing mellie, because she deserves the world and this garbage show really only gave her pain and zero (0) friends / people she could trust.

NOTE: mellie has views that not all will agree with or like. these don’t reflect my own feelings, thoughts, or opinions, and anything that may come up will simply be me attempting to stay true to who my girl is!

BORN: melody margaret eaves*. PLACE OF BIRTH: asheville, north carolina. DATE OF BIRTH: december 5th, 1966; age — 53. EYE COLOR: blue. HAIR COLOR: brown. PARENTS: beau eaves (father, estranged)*. evelyn baker eaves (mother, deceased)*. SIBLINGS: harmony eaves (half-sister, somewhat estranged). SPOUSE: fitzgerald ‘fitz’ thomas grant iii (divorced). CHILDREN: fitzgerald ‘jerry’ thomas grant iv (deceased, 2014), karen grant, theodore wallace grant. EDUCATION: harvard undergrad, yale law. PAST OCCUPATIONS: attorney, first lady of california, first lady of the united states, junior senator from virginia. CURRENT OCCUPATION: 45th president of the united states. POLITICAL PARTY: republican. SECRET SERVICE CODENAME: foxtail. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: she’s a lesbian, harold.

QUICK FACTS THAT MOST WOULD KNOW!

graduated top of her class from both harvard for her undergrad, and from yale law.

former partner at a prestigious california law firm, a job she gave up to help fitz get elected governor.

while mellie is a republican, it’s been noted that she’s the most progressive republican president in over 100 years, and is pro-lqbt+, pro-immigration, pro-choice, and has notably pushed through legislation for stricter gun control, and worked toward middle eastern peace.

tbh she’s only a republican bc fitz is and she for political and image reasons she had to match him.

wrote a ‘tell all’ book about her time as first lady, though only bits of it were published in a ‘leak’ in an attempt to get her better footing as a presidential candidate.

was the first person to air information about fitz’s affair with olivia pope ( though she didn’t leak olivia’s name ).

ex-wife of 44th president of the united states, fitzgerald ‘fitz’ grant iii.

once she filibustered for 16 hours on the eve of the christmas holidays to save planned parenthood bc a man told her not to / bc her convictions are so good and i love her.

her son, jerry, died during fitz’s second campaign and she spent three months in a deep depression, where she was regularly attacked by the press for regularly visiting his grave in her pajamas. * this led to a stalwart fight both as a senator and as president to support mental health and discussions and destigmatization of as many aspects of mental illness as she’s able, particularly as depression is something she’s dealt with her whole life.

she didn’t win the presidential election, she lost to frankie vargas, who was assassinated almost immediately after being announced as the winner. mellie was elected by the electoral college over cyrus beene.

her chief of staff was initially olivia pope, until mellie forced her to resign.

her original pick for vp was jake ballard, who was blackmailed out of the position and replaced by frankie vargas’ widow, luna. luna died the evening of mellie’s inauguration and was replaced by cyrus beene.

olivia was replaced as chief of staff by jake ballard, who tried to push mellie out of office with the aid of cyrus beene.

jake was later arrested and sent to a maximum security prison, and cyrus was forced by olivia to resign as vp.

was under suspicion of plotting to kill cyrus beene while he was her vice president, though this was found to be a plot by cyrus to unseat her and get his shot at the oval.

underwent impeachment hearings during her first year in office, though they were later found to be under false pretenses presented by jake ballard.

i headcanon that she convinces susan ross, who ran against her for president, to come on as vp; and abby whelan, who worked previously as fitz’s chief of staff, to come on as her chief of staff, as cyrus resigned, jake was imprisoned, and olivia refused to come back on. * this all depends on plotting bc depending on who i’m writing with, things here could easily change

also this isn’t necessarily crucial to mellie, but david rosen definitely didn’t die and is helping mellie to restore her public image post impeachment-hearings thank u.

near the end of her presidency, mellie does a press conference where comes out as a lesbian and announces proposed initiatives to improve lgbtq+ support nationwide, and she works hard to implement them before her last term is up.

in her main verse, post-presidency she moves to new york city to live with her best friend and fellow lesbian, minerva allory (@crimscnmalice), and her friendship with min in general is included heavily in mellie’s main default verse and it’s not something that’s at all secret so people Know they’re best friends and it’s soft and cute and Fine.

FACTS THAT PRIVILEGED PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW!

her marriage to fitz was arranged for political benefit, as mellie’s father came from old money so her name was ‘good’.

had an affair with former vice president andrew nichols.

was a part of the team that conspired to rig voting machines in defiance county, ohio in order to get fitz elected, along with olivia pope, verna thorton, hollis doyle, and cyrus beene ( commonly referred to as ‘defiance’ ).

her son was murdered by a secret service agent under orders from olivia’s father, rowan pope.

was in a flirtatious relationship with president farid rashad of bashran before he was killed by olivia pope via her b613 ( an underground spy organization, now dismantled ) resources.

she legitimately has mason jars of moonshine made by her family stashed around the white house and she’s a barely-functional alcoholic and needs hugs.

#* out of character ┊ muse info.#* in character ┊ mellie grant.#i need to develop things abt her parents a lil bit more and generally flesh things out during this rewatch but hi hello #i adore melody margaret grant?? she's my angel and i'd die for her

MUSE INFO — MELODY ‘MELLIE’ MARGARET GRANT.

formerly found at: politicalgenius.

all information outlined below is based in the latest possible information ( though some still has to be updated as i rewatch ), and can vary by verse. some of it is headcanon based, and has developed over my time writing mellie. anything noted with a * is based on personal headcanons.

BORN: melody margaret eaves*. PLACE OF BIRTH: asheville, north carolina. DATE OF BIRTH: december 5th, 1966; age — 52. EYE COLOR: blue. HAIR COLOR: brown. PARENTS: beau eaves (father, estranged)*. evelyn baker eaves (mother, deceased)*. SIBLINGS: harmony eaves (half-sister, somewhat estranged). SPOUSE: fitzgerald grant iii (divorced). CHILDREN: fitzgerald ‘jerry’ alexander grant iv (deceased, 2014), karen evelyn* grant, theodore wallace* grant. EDUCATION: harvard undergrad, yale law. PAST OCCUPATIONS: attorney, first lady of california, first lady of the united states, junior senator from virginia. CURRENT OCCUPATION: 45th president of the united states. POLITICAL PARTY: republican. SECRET SERVICE CODENAME: foxtail (former), eagle one (as president). SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: biromantic.

IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS, AS (MOSTLY) OUTLINED BELOW: fitzgerald grant iii (ex-husband), karen grant (daughter), teddy grant (son), olivia pope (former enemy, former chief of staff, sort of friend?), abby whelan (current chief of staff, friend-ly), susan ross (vice president, friend), jacob ballard (former chief of staff, non friend), cyrus beene (former vice president, definite non friend), david rosen (attorney general, friend).

IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE DECEASED: jerry grant (son), james novak (friend), elizabeth north (sort of friend?), evelyn eaves (mother).

IMPORTANT PORTRAYAL BASED RELATIONSHIPS: owen grady (advisor; @raptorraised), minerva allory (best friend & ‘sister’; @crimscnmalice).

QUICK FACTS THAT MOST WOULD KNOW!

tbh she’s only a republican bc fitz is and she for political and image reasons she had to match him.

wrote a ‘tell all’ book about her time as first lady, though only bits of it were published in a ‘leak’ in an attempt to get her better footing as a presidential candidate.

was the first person to air information about fitz’s affair with olivia pope ( though she didn’t leak olivia’s name ).

ex-wife of 44th president of the united states, fitzgerald ‘fitz’ grant iii.

once she filibustered for 16 hours on the eve of the christmas holidays to save planned parenthood bc a man told her not to / bc her convictions are so good and i love her.

her son, jerry, died during fitz’s second campaign and she spent three months in a deep depression, where she was dubbed ‘mental mellie’ by the press for regularly visiting his grave in her pajamas.

her chief of staff was initially olivia pope, until mellie forced her to resign.

olivia was replaced as chief of staff by jake ballard, who tried to push mellie out of office with the aid of cyrus beene.

jake was later arrested and sent to a maximum security prison, and cyrus was forced by olivia to resign as vp.

underwent impeachment hearings during her first year in office, though they were later found to be under false pretenses presented by jake ballard.

also this isn’t necessarily crucial to mellie, but david rosen definitely didn’t die and is helping mellie to restore her public image post impeachment-hearings thank u.

FACTS THAT PRIVILEGED PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW!

her marriage to fitz was arranged for political benefit, as mellie’s father came from old money so her name was ‘good’.

had an affair with former vice president andrew nichols.

her son was murdered by a secret service agent under orders from olivia’s father, rowan pope.

was in a flirtatious relationship with president farid rashad of bashran before he was killed by olivia pope via her b613 ( an underground spy organization, now dismantled ) resources.

in an on-and-off relationship with senator marcus walker.
