Intro Post for my new WIP, “Cantata.” If you haven’t yet read my completed IF, “Viatica,” you can find it here on itch.

A low fantasy IF loosely based on the Italian Renaissance period, with a steampunk edge.

DEMO on Itch

SYNOPSIS

The story is set in Saleste, an empire with a long history of expansionism and colonization. It is a vast, wealthy empire, very much set in notions of classism and noble privilege. And its warmongering has only grown more brazen under the current regis (monarch). Saleste is currently at a stalemate with Tinebaille, a neighboring island nation the empire has repeatedly tried, and failed, to conquer.

Within the empire, technically citizens but not, are the Iredicci. The Iredicci are as much a religion as they are a race—less like priests and more like monks or shamans. The Iredicci can hear and feel the cordis, the harmonic pulse that connects all living things, and they connect to it through song. Iredicci have excellent hearing, but their defining feature is their voice—they have an echo to their voice, a resonance of two pitches at once. The regis asked the Iredicci elders to use their unique gift to help him conquer Tinebaille, but as a peaceful people, they refused.

A simple, nomadic people, the Iredicci were traditionally welcome in all corners of the Saleste Empire. But as steam technology progressed and the push for new resources grew, a prejudice developed against them. The regis spread propaganda against the Iredicci, painting them as an inferior, uncivilized people who leeched off the empire rather than aided it. Over the years they stopped being welcome. Eventually, their travel was restricted, and the Iredicci were forced to live in settlement camps.

You are one of the Iredicci, born into such a camp. The elders sing songs of past travels and wonders you have never seen. Ever the optimists, the elders tell you to take heart. To be thankful you are among friends and family. That things can’t possibly get any worse.

Until they do.

Historians and politicians would call it The Proelium, a righteous battle against the traitorous Iredicci. What it really was, was the systematic genocide of your people. In one night, soldiers attacked every settlement camp across the empire. No one was spared—not the elders, not the children, not your mother.

It was mere whim that you snuck out of camp that evening, a mischievous escapade with a friend that ironically saved your life. You are taken in by your friend’s family and kept safe. But with survivors being hunted and killed, you must conceal your identity. So, you pretend to be deaf and mute.

Journey through the empire of Saleste and beyond. Grow from a child into an adult. Make friends, lovers, allies, and enemies. How will they react when your secret comes to light? Will you abandon your song in favor of machine? Join the rebel forces against the tyrant regis? Will you heal the wounds of the realm and restore balance? Or plunge it further into chaos?

MAGIC

There is no magic in the traditional sense, but your people are attuned to the cordis, the harmonies of the earth. Your song brings rain to drought ridden areas, quiets thunderstorms, tames wildfires, and soothes hearts. You can also attune to a specific element, which corresponds to one of the senses:

Earth/Smell

Air/Sight

Fire/Touch

Water/Taste

FEATURES

Play as male, female or nonbinary—you’ll be able to choose your pronouns independent of your body type.

Customize your character’s appearance and personality.

Choose your attunement/proficiency with the cordis. This choice will heavily influence gameplay, affecting combat, weapon specialization, character interactions, and problem-solving situations. Choose wisely!

Create 2 character names: your birth name and an alias. The Iredicci have culturally unique names, so your birth name will be limited to a preset selection. But you will go by an alias of your own choosing for most of the story.

Develop your relationship with your adopted sister. Are you friends or rivals?

Romance! Or not. Romance 1 of 4 possible love interests, or choose the platonic route with the best of friends.

Save a wild animal from a hunter’s trap and gain a steadfast companion. Because fur baby.

THE MC

The game begins with you at age 7. When you are 12, your camp is slaughtered during The Proelium. With your voice and heightened hearing identifying you as Iredicci, you pretend to be deaf and mute in order to hide your heritage. The main game occurs 13 years after The Proelium, when you are 25.

ROMANCE OPTIONS

Calliope Cato (she/her)

The inventor/artificer, Calliope can build and fix any machine. She is 2 years younger than you, petite, with gold eyes, rich brown skin and black hair in multiple braids. Her hair and clothes are adorned in rings, belts, and pins which double as tools. She carries a man’s cane sword with her everywhere, which she wields in a fight along with a hand crossbow. She’s curious, optimistic, excitable, and easily distracted by her many projects, but much of that is to keep her mind occupied. In quiet moments when she thinks no one is looking, you glimpse a profound sadness on her features.

Corinne Xenakis (she/her)

The leader of the rebels, Corinne works to overthrow the monarchy and aid the surviving Iredicci where possible. She is 6 years older than you. She is tall, with long, sandy brown hair usually worn in a messy bun or loosely braided bun, hazel eyes, and beige skin tanned by the sun. Quiet, serious and aloof, she feels a tremendous responsibility for those under her command. Corinne is a contradiction—she has the grace and manners of a noblewoman, yet fights with military precision that is uncommon for females of noble lineage. She is deadly when double wielding her flintlocks or axes. While not cold, she is not overly familiar or friendly with anyone, and very tight-lipped about her past. What does she guard so fiercely behind her armor?

Vicente Aloi (he/they)

The bastard prince, Vicente is calculating, ruthless and driven. They are the same age as you, and they, too, lost their mother the night of The Proelium, though under different circumstances. But while you were adopted into a loving family, he is the unwanted son of the regis, trained to be a lethal tool. He has long, midnight blue-black hair, icy blue eyes, and high defined cheekbones. The edges of a tattoo are barely visible on his neck above the collar of his doublet… wings, perhaps? It’s beautiful. He’s beautiful, though you’d never tell him for fear he’d take his rapier to your neck simply for looking. Will your plans align with his, or are you merely another pawn in his schemes?

Bayram Durmaz (he/him)

The son of the Aydem, the matriarchal leader of Tinebaille. Bayram is 4 years older than you. He has golden-honey skin, light brown eyes, and dark brown, tightly-curled hair that he usually wears back in a ponytail or half ponytail. He is tall and broad, muscular but not toned, with a rounded edge to his stomach and chest. A sprawling, colorful tattoo, the mosaic artwork of his people, covers the entirety of his back. He is boisterous, bold, and a shameless flirt. With his young sister bearing the weight of succession, he’s been free to explore the islands to his heart’s content, and is familiar with every bay, inlet, and harbor. He is equally skilled at wielding a spear, sailing a ship, and charming hearts.

CONTENT WARNING

This story is intended for mature audiences. Possibly triggering topics present in the story include blood, violence, death (including child death), trauma & PTSD, mature language, sexual content (optional), classism, sexism, bigotry, and the persecution of a fictional people. Be advised, you are also pretending to have a disability for at least half the story.

The music is intentionally loud in certain parts of the story. This is to mimic the noise and emotions that the MC is experiencing, as sound is an integral feature of your race. It may be uncomfortable for some readers, so please read with caution.

[crazerk]

When you find yourself among the few women chosen to become a concubine in the Imperial harem, you have a chance to carve your place in court.

The life of a concubine might seem luxurious and idyllic, but behind the silken curtains of the harem, dangerous games are played. Games where the wrong words will cost your life, betrayal, lies and secrets are commonplace and gaining the shah’s attention is paramount to your survival.

Start out as a princess, disgraced noble or captive.

Intrigue, intrigue and more intrigue.

Dramatic events on par with a soap opera

Revenge, backstabbing, forbidden love, plots and more.

Rise the ranks by outsmarting or eliminating your rivals.

Produce and raise heirs to secure your place.

Influence politics through the emperor or seize power for yourself.

Learn fire magic or join a cult of chaos.

Live a life of leisure and the pursuit of higher education or a life of hedonism.

Inspired by the Sassanid dynasty and Persian mythology.

Shah Khazunef

He serves as an informal advisor and spy to the shah but shirks any formal duties. Fang is charismatic and extroverted with copper red hair, rose skin and blue eyes.

Persa

Upon the fall of her city and murder of her family, she was brought to the capital to serve in the palace. She has honey blonde hair, dark brown eyes and alabaster skin.

Ignasia

Ignasia is a fire priestess and staunch follower of the faith. Although born a noble, she gave up all claims and titles to serve in the fire temples as a guardian of the eternal flame. Ignasia has dark hair, darker eyes and a regal, reserved bearing.

Averus

Averus is a high priest and soothsayer of the court. His advice is sought by all and a bad word about you from his lips can sully your reputation and relationships beyond repair.

Consort Iltani

Former consort and favorite of Shah Arzad. Her name is whispered like a curse, and her influence spreads far wide even though the valide has her currently imprisoned within the palace.

My Godfather’s Cousin’s Wife’s Brother. (Once-Removed)

Canonically, John Constantine's sister is a Masters. She married into a family with that last name.

Uncle Constantine AU, where Danny gets (literally) dragged to one of Vlad's family get-togethers. It's the first one Vlad has attended since becoming a halfa, and he wants to show off Danny. John catches sight of them and is immediately concerned about why his in-laws are covered in death magic. Becomes more concerned as he watches the dynamic between them: the controlling nature of Vlad and the barely hidden contempt from Danny. 

Time to get to the bottom of this. Might be a good idea to check up on their home environment, see what's going on there. He is an occult detective, after all. What's the point in that if he doesn't even look after his own family?

Danny, of course, does not trust anybody related to Vlad, no matter how sympathetic to ghosts they may seem 

[gildedphoenix]

I’ll Be What You Need

“I just need you to be my little boy,” his mother said. “Just be little forever”

Danny could feel himself shirnking. Every breath out bringing him a little more inward. 

“Of course, Mom! But, um, I gotta go. I promised Tucker I’d meet up with him tonight.” Danny stammered, just trying to get himself out of his mother’s hold before she noticed his shrinking. 

“But Dannny, You just got back from Tucker’s… Didn’t you?” She asked in a tone that said he better have been at Tucker’s. That he’d better not have been lying. 

“Of course, Mom. I’m meeting him online. We were working out this new stragety on Doom and we wanted to try it out tonight.” He jumped backwards, making fast erratic shooting motions. He emulated his Doom character while also effectively breaking his mother’s grip on him and her suspicions. She rolled her eyes at his antics and he took that as his queue to run upstairs. 

In truth, he had not been at Tucker’s at all, but instead in the Far Frozen. As he got closer to graduation, he’d been having issues. Different peoples’ demands on him had been feeling less like expectations and more like required changes. And his body was obliging. Like his mother’s need that he stay little. Just last week, Sam had been hitting him in the shoulder and playfully remarked, “What? Can’t take a punch?” In a moment, his body had hardened and her next punch nearly broke her hand. 

All the changes so far had been small enough, subtle enough, to hide. Danny didn’t think he would be lucky enough that it would stay that way. The shrinking was the first example. And a confirmation of what Frostbite had told him. 

Frostbite had not had good news. Last time he’d had his core examined had been years ago. They’d thought it was an Ice core. All evidence pointed that way. But they really hadn’t had time to do a full examination. An in depth analysis. And it turns out, they’d been wrong. 

Danny’s core was not Ice or Cold. Not Fire or Plant. Not Love, or Loneliness, or Shadow. It was not tied to any element or emotion. Danny’s core was pure ectoplasmic Potential.

Early stage wip!! Will I ever get tired of snake eyes? I don't think so!

Started today, Sept. 8, let's see how long it will take - *cries in fall exam session*

[justanothersanjilover]

How about a Zosan story where Sanji got his legs so badly injured he isn't allowed to walk for at least months if not a year and he falls into a spiral of “I’m just a burden!”, “I can't even help in a fight!”, “I should leave so I’m not slowing them down!”, “I should just kill myself and take me off their shoulders!”. Spiraling further and further until he hits the bottom and is trying to drown himself only to be rescued by Zoro. He’ll lecture their cook that he is an idiot thinking they wouldn't want him around just because he’s injured! He starts to make training plans for Sanji (with the approval of Chopper, of course) and helps him get his legs to their old strength, and along the way, they fall for each other but won’t voice it, because why would the other even consider loving them back?

It’s in another fight when Sanji gets attacked by a guy wielding a hammer with a blade on the edge and frezzes because a similar weapon destroyed his legs last time, and Zoro shields him. Taking the blow, getting his back sliced open, maybe cracking some ribs and while lying in Sanji’s arm, coughing up blood, the cook tells him he loves him. Zoro falls unconscious with a smile on his lips.

After that, Sanji avoids the infirmary, scared of what Zoro would say to him. Scared that he wouldn't want to see him and hated him because it was his fault that he was injured and now got scars on his back from the slash of the blade edges of the hammer.

One night, Sanji is in the kitchen falling into pieces again because he got his strength back but is still a burden to his friends. The door is thrown open, and Zoro marches in, walking right up into Sanji’s space, making him back away in slight fear, until his back hits the wall. Barricaded by Zoro’s large frame and hands on either side of him, he can only stare at the swordsman. Whispering, sorry, over and over again until Zoro finally shuts him up with a kiss.

[etchingsandepitaphs]

I swear there is no better high than writing; even just frantically outlining a novel concept that I feel really excited about has left me with a lasting like "omg I am a genius I am such a good writer the best to ever do it" even though I know full well that once this honeymoon period wears off I'm obviously going to have frustrations/writer's block like we all do, but like for now AHAHAHA I AM GOD

-> navigation || main masterlist

There’s no use for anything other than food and drink. Energy and hydration. This is not a life any longer but a task set into the callous hands of a man that had been far too young to understand the duty and devotion it would endlessly call for.

There is no use for anything but fuel for his body to carry him through the next battle, the next fight, the next weapon should his give out or bend to another’s.

He knows how to fight with his bare hands should that happen though he doesn’t prefer it. The shield of a weapon in his hands allows him to claim his killings and bloodshed are in the name of those he serves and not of his own volition.

But he sees in your eyes that it makes no difference. A slight thing hiding in the shadows as you watch and tally the use of steel, of bronze, or iron, and tar. Of the things to keep fired stoked high enough to burn them all down to liquid and mold to your orders of weapons to be forged.

He sees the disappointment each time he’s sent to you for collection, the way your eyes longer on the sword he had been gifted from the stash your father had kept for himself. His right as a weapon smith.

But it’s no longer your fathers like you are.

An aide to the efforts of entertainment and execution. Of punishment and pleasure.

He recognizes your sweat soaked body as it’s coated in grime and as it’s coated in the marks men leave on your skin.

He’s never taken the open ended offer up for himself. Only ever calling on you for the supplies you are to provide for the arena. He feels conflicted about how much demanded of you, both professionally and personally but he has no sway in making changes, in altering the life you’re to live.

Until the day he sees you in the arena, with a sword of your own in hand and a pack of wild cats circling you with snarling, snapping jaws. Their large claws swiping at you as if you are but a tiny play thing for them. A meal for them, entertainment for the public, and a punishment for you.

‘What is the meaning of this?’ He demands, voice booming as he enters the cordoned off section of seats. The balcony that just out further that the rest of them lining the walls of the arena.

‘She is proving the strength of her weapons. Too many have chipped and shattered in the last batch.’

He recalls the battle in which the man is referring to so casually. Placing the blame in your work when it had been nothing but devoted. The weapons had been as skillfully crafted as any others you provided, but they had been at a disadvantage in the hands of his men. Not due to lack of materials or skill but of what they had been up against.

Flails and lances, stronger weapons in the hands of those they faced didn’t negate the strength of yours. But now you were facing those ‘consequences’ right before his very eyes down in the pit.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tags, @onthewaytosomewhere and @tailsbeth-writes!

I started a new WIP today bc I have no chill but I was having FOMO watching all my friends participate in the @ficwip Hey Sweetheart event. This will probably be going live tomorrow or Friday, just in time for Valentine's Day! 💕

“Hey, sweetheart. Really going all out with this stuff, huh?” Henry’s head snaps up from where he’s been poring over a list of supplies for the event, surprised to hear Alex’s voice at an unexpected time. “Er… yes.” Henry glances at the screen on the register, noting that it’s already after 5:30. Alex must have stopped in after work, which is unusual. “How can I help you?”  Slipping into customer service mode is the only way Henry has been able to act professionally around Alex. “I wanted to know more about the event this weekend,” Alex replies, pointing up at one of the many posters that are plastered all over the store. “Oh, well you can just come by. Bring a reading if you want, or you can just be a spectator.” Alex nods. “Okay, but am I supposed to bring a date, or is it like a singles mixer, or what?” “Oh.” Henry’s stomach drops out. “Well, dates are not required. It could be a good chance to meet people, though.” He tries to look away, but Alex is leaning over the counter and he smells really good. “So will you be bringing a date?”
