(Wdym, Nevermore isn’t in the MCU? She was in three different movies! 🤨)

TW: Brief mentions of parent death, grief, and rape

When she was 18 years old, Nevermore accidentally killed her stepmother, Alya, in a fire she accidentally started when her powers manifested, because she exploded under the pressures of being raised as the next generation’s queen of Macbeth.

After running away in shame, and swearing to never use those powers again, Nevermore turned to murdering sex offenders, creating a hit list, hunting them down, and referring to herself as “Justice Incarnate”. The news, however, called her the “Red Rapist Killer”.

After being on the run for about seven years, Nevermore’s powers re-manifested, and her family was able to locate her and bring her back to Macbeth, where she was trained to use her powers and be a proper princess.

About four years later, after she’d settled in to a life of princess-by-day and vigilante-by-night, Nevermore met Thor and Loki, helped them escape Sakaar, and faught Thanos and The Black Order alongside them and the rest of the Avengers.

After the blip was reversed, Nevermore was officially recognized as an Avenger, debuting as “Ember Blade”.

Her Avenger title was short-lived, however, after her secret identity was revealed, putting herself and Peter in danger, and getting her fired from the Avengers.

Thus, she was forced to move to the newly rebuilt New Asgard for her own safety, but Ember Blade has yet to be put to rest…

[nevermore-grimes]

Hi! Hello! I’m a maladaptive daydreamer. You can call me Divine or Knight (both names derived from my fandom/main blog, @divine-knight-hand)! *Both of my blogs are 18+, btw!!!*

Contrary to that blog, I will not be talking fanfiction here. So, if you want fandom-accurate stuff, this blog isn’t for you.

But, if you’re looking for MaDD content, then welcome! The Ember Blade Chronicles is a paracosm yeeeeears in the making. I was about 6 years old when I started maladaptive daydreaming, and this is pretty much the only paracosm I got, so a LOT of work went into this, as you can see.

On that note, here is The Ember Blade Chronicles! And if you have any questions about anything you see here AT ALL, I hiiiiiiighly encourage you to ask! (Please, please, pleeeease ask me about my paracosm! I wanna talk about it!!!)

The Sisters

*NOTES: I was going to do all four of The Elemental Four, but half of them aren’t relevant anymore. The most consistently revelant paras in my paracosm are these two chumps (affectionate). Also, since these are paras based off of and named after real people, I’ve changed their names for privacy reasons. So, just enjoy the super cool aliases~

🔥 Nevermore Grimes - My darling parame. *Slaps the top of her head* Lemme tell you, this woman can fit so much trauma, it’s not even funny. I torture her the most often when I’m bored, lmao! Anyways, since she’s the main character of this paracosm, I won’t be doing much introduction here. All I’ll say is that she’s the second oldest of The Elemental Four, wielding the element of fire.

💧 Aerith Lake - Nevermore’s little sister. She’s the youngest of The Elemental Four, wielding the element of water. Don’t mistake her kindness for complacence. She always finds the voice to speak up for herself when it counts the most. Though she still carries a teensy bit of abandonment issues from when Nevermore ran away from home, she trusts that her big sister won’t disappear without a trace again… Mostly.

The Lore

Get ready. There’s quite a lot… (We also meet some fictparas! Yay!)

TWs for up ahead: Many mentions of death and killing, and quick mention of rape (blink and you’ll miss it)

The Origins - After an accident involving her powers manifesting leads to her having a hand in the death of one of her parents, Nevermore runs away from home in guilt and shame, though the escape from a life she longed to abandon was a pretty solid perk. Moved to action after growing tired of feeling confined to what those who have power over her want for her, she becomes the violent driving force that is “Justice Incarnate”, wanting nothing more than to protect others from that same helpless feeling. Though, the news was quick to deem her “The Red Rapist Killer” (Which is a horrible name, if you accidentally stop short…), demonizing her for her use of killing as punishment. But, no matter what, she swore to never resort to the powers that took one of her parents’ life from her…

The Macbethian Saga - Returning to her home planet, Macbeth, Nevermore has to balance the trials that come with learning to control the powers she despises with the trials that come with rejoining a family that’s grown to resent her for abandoning them (Oh! And let’s not forget about the trials of learning how to function in a royal family). She’s forced to leave her life as “Justice Incarnate” behind, but old habits die hard, and as The Elemental Four serve as princesses by day, they also end up as a band of vigilantes by night.

The Hero Saga - Blindsighted by an unexpected encounter on a royal outing to a champion’s match on a certain planet of misfits, Nevermore is forced to learn how to run with the big dogs, and quick. As it would turn out, fighting a battle for the sake of sparing half of the universe wasn’t so fun if losing was in the cards… But, upon the return of the disappeared, the Elementals find themselves cast out of their kingdom by their once loyal subjects, so they move to join Earth’s mightiest heroes. This is where Nevermore makes her debut as Ember Blade.

The Dimensions Saga - The Avengers have no time to settle in to their new lives once they’re quickly faced with a new threat. If they don’t close all the inter-dimensional rifts being ripped open around the universe, its potential collapse awaits them. The solution? A hell of a lot of dimension-hopping.

The Pre-War Saga - The rifts are gone, but the Avengers are forced to prepare for war as villains past are being revived and recruited by none other than The Grandmaster. Who knew a fruity old man could have such sinister ambitions? This doesn’t bode so well for the cute and comfortable little life that Nevermore had just started building for herself…

The War Saga - The Avengers take to space. Their battlefield? Ego. Stationed in an impossibly large space station just a few jump points away, they’re tasked with facing down villains past, all to save half of the universe again… Anyone else getting serious deja vu?

The New-Asgardian Saga *Current Saga* - War is over, but Nevermore barely has time to celebrate as S.H.I.E.L.D. begins a manhunt for her. After they claimed she’s proven herself a serious threat to humanity, they’ve made it very clear that they will shoot on sight. So, she leaves with her lover to the newly-rebuilt land of New Asgard, relocated back into space from Norway. But, Nevermore is too stubborn to kill off Ember Blade, so it would seem she’s back to the vigilante life…

Me watching Nevermore practically cream her pants every time Loki uses healing magic on her: 🧍‍♀️

[everyone-with-a-para]

Haiiii! So, this isn’t a submission, but it’s a question about your server (that I probably should’ve asked before joining 😅).

I dunno if I’m just overthinking or over complicating it, but how problematic, per se, do our paras have to be to join?

Like, I sometimes consider the happenings in my paracosm problematic to some extent, and I like to joke on Nevermore (my parame) being fairly problematic, but now I’m wondering if what I consider problematic isn’t problematic… enough? If that makes sense?

I dunno, and I think I’m just confusing myself, so I wanted to make sure before actually going through with making an intro and then ending up in a space that potentially wasn’t made for me. (I really don’t want to intrude. 😰)

Anyways, I was just hoping you can shed some light on this. Thank you!

- @nevermore-grimes

There's no real rule about it, honestly it's just a safe space for all MaDD/ID in general that happens to have a focus on paras or paracosms people don't want to talk about elsewhere because of how other people might react due to para's bad actions/morally questionable storylines/"problematic" sources. But any level (or lack of) of "problematic-ness" is welcome

[nevermore-grimes]

so... how did the blip affect the elementals?

Anon, I hope you believe me when I tell you that I woke up to this ask, almost danced around my apartment, and then thought about it all day.

WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO EXCITED TO ANSWER THIS!!! I mean, I was going to, anyway, but NOW I KNOW SOMEONE ACTUALLY WANTS TO KNOW!!! AAAAAAHHH!!! Thank you for asking, Anon! Time for an infodump!

TW: Mentions of temporary death, trauma, depression, and suicidal ideation under the cut!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐢𝐩

So, how did The Blip affect The Elemental Four?

When it happened, only Nevermore and Amarilis were (barely) acquainted with some of the Avengers. Nevermore was on Earth while Amarilis was on Titan. The Anya and Aerith were still on Macbeth, completely unaware of what was happening.

When Thanos had originally snapped, he claimed all four of the elementals... Or so Nevermore thought.

But, Nevermore was brought back with the second snap, and she would later find out that Thanos actually traded her life with Aerith's. She doesn't find this out until The War Saga, though, so like, yeah.

Anyways, the second snap happens, and Nevermore falls into depression (Yay! Torturing my parame for my own entertainment!). She's filled with, not only the grief of losing her family, but the sting of defeat.

Refusing to return to her home kingdom, Nevermore picks up a job at a (made up!) coffee place in Times Square called The Jitter Critter. And then she picks a date and time to off herself if she still feels depressed.

Luckily for her, Banner and Rocket stop by for coffee on that very day, on their way to find Thor. They tell Nevermore the whole time heist plan, and she quits her dead-end job on the spot to tag along.

Now for Amarilis's POV! She watched everyone except Tony and Nebula get snapped before she herself did. Why did I never really touch on that in my paracosm? Though, there was a few paragraphs on it in my old notebooks, but even then, it doesn't really delve into how she probably felt then...

Amarilis looked around at the disappearing people. She’d fallen to her knees, only to discover that she was disappearing, too. Her eyes teared. Peter Parker was on the unfortunate half. He’s just a kid. She thought. She looked to Tony. He seemed stressed. We lost. She thought. We were so close. She closed her eyes, fell forward, but felt nothing. She disappeared before she hit the floor. A yellow amulet was left lying in a pile of dust.

Shoutout to the line "She looked to Tony. He seemed stressed." Bitch, he's watching his son die! "Stressed" isn't even the half of it! Middle school me trying to write about grief and loss was... it was something.

Meanwhile, on Macbeth, Anya and Aerith were carrying on, business as usual, when suddenly they started disappearing. Like, they literally had no idea what was happening. That has got to be traumatizing.

Especially for Aerith! If you remember from earlier, I mentioned that Thanos originally let Aerith live, only to swap her for Nevermore later.

In my old notebooks, I had written them dying at the same time. But, the change I made to the lore would imply that Aerith had to watch Anya die before succumbing to the same thing...

THE POLLS HAVE SPOKEN!!! OMG!!! NEVERMORE WON!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who voted! I’m so honored that my parame ended up winning most of your hearts~ 🤭

Nevermore’s gonna go walk around with an inflated ego now… 🤣

Also, to whoever voted for Aerith, she appreciates you so, so, so much. 💙

After I've made most of my posts about them, I got curious. With the limited knowledge I gave about them so far...

Aerith is wary of propaganda, but Nevermore is encouraging it. Do with that information what you will. 😌
