A Court of Embers and Sunlight

Backstory fic of Lucien’s life in the Autumn Court

Summary:

It has been eighty years since the end of the Human War, and a delicate, tenuous peace has grown in Prythian. But as an ancient rivalry between two High families suddenly arises, the consequences of the War are pondered, and painful memories are stirred up for members of the Vanserra family, including Eris Vanserra and the Lady of Autumn. But being sixty and the youngest of seven brothers, Lucien Vanserra is eager to avoid a lot of things. Including the consequences of the War. Haunted by secrets and keen to avoid the Forest House, Lucien allows his errancy to lead him to Prythian’s Summer beaches, Winter lakes, and Spring fields until he finds himself stumbling down a path to a female he never expected. One who lights up his dark, rotting world like dappled sunlight through the leaves.

Main plot points:

- Lucien and Jesminda's relationship

- Lucien's childhood

- Lucien's friendship with Tamlin and Andras

- LoA’s past

- Lucien, LoA, Eris, and the Vanserra brothers suffering at the hands of Beron

- Eris and Mor’s betrothal

- The Human War

- The Treaty and The Wall

- The Blood Feud between Spring and Night

- and more.

(A few plot points have been adjusted/manipulated to work with other plotpoints and fix inconsistencies (sorry SJM), and headcanons and theories will be included.)

Author’s note:

You know what happens. You know how it ends for Lucien and Jesminda. This has an unhappy ending, I cannot stress this enough.

I have been working on this fanfic for over two years and I’m finally starting to put it out! If you love angst, melancholy, trauma, random obscure Finnish mythology references, rare ships, Autumn Court fanfics, and, most importantly Lucien Vanserra, then I hope you enjoy.

With her hair and freckles she was dark gold like the bracken on the slope behind her; she fitted. He stared past her into the water of the lake, and saw it was very clear, and deep; sunlight coming through the trees sent spears into it, gold again, another world, shining above and losing itself below in darkness.

Whatever will the weather birds think of next?!

Algy could hardly believe his eyes when he woke the next morning, for the sun was shining, and brightly at that! He had slept so very soundly, soothed by the great oak's lullaby, that by the time he was fully awake it was broad daylight, which at this time of year in the wild west Highlands of Scotland meant that the morning was already well advanced, and the sun was about as high in the sky as it was likely to get before it sank down to rest again.

Peering up at the magnificent old tree towering above him, Algy marvelled, not only at the unexpected sunlight that had brought a burst of beautiful colour back to the world, but also at the rich growth of bright green mosses and ferns which clothed the great trunks of the hospitable tree and were positively glowing in the unexpected light.

It was a braw day for an adventure, and Algy was keen to be up and on his way at last, but he was loath to leave the great oak, so he paused for a few moments longer. As he craned his neck back to gaze up high into its branches, Algy wondered just how old the tree might be, for it had certainly seen many, many winters before this one, and although he was not really small compared with many other fluffy birds, he felt positively dwarfed by the massive oak, and understood just how the rosebush must have felt, in Mr. Silverstein's poem:

An oak tree and a rosebush grew, Young and green together, Talking the talk of growing things– Wind and water and weather. And while the rosebush sweetly bloomed The oak tree grew so high That now it spoke of newer things– Eagles, mountain peaks and sky. "I guess you think you're pretty great," The rose was heard to cry, Screaming as loud as it possibly could To the treetop in the sky. "And now you have no time for flower talk, Now that you've grown so tall." "It's not so much that I've grown," said the tree, "It's just that you've stayed so small."

[Algy is quoting the poem The Oak and the Rose by the 20th century American writer Shel Silverstein.]
