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.

admin notes

firstly: thank you @cloverlady and @charlottenanachi for helping me with coloring!! and @fauxbia for helping with the writing :D

This is ask #30, wowie!! I've made a couple (3) Activation Logs I'll be posting in the next few days!! There was a comic I was working on, too, but idk when that'll be done, sorry...

I don't have Activation logs for all of them on the Askblog because I feel the first three explore what I want to share right now well enough. Hopefully you guys like LOF, PU, and SLS

In the meantime, I've also updated ToyHouse bios slightly, mostly surrounding relationships.

Also, I plan to open a Discord Server focused on my OC AU very soon!! It'll be 16+, though, due to subject matter. That being said, here is another reminder to check the content warnings!! The more lorestuff I post, the more I'll be getting into sensitive and upsetting subject matter...

and once again, "architect" is just the in-universe term for "ancient."

steve is so extremely lover coded.

*sighs dreamily*

stevie is love— pink tones and flowers and picnics and sunsets and flustered smiles. soft kisses, long kisses, lazy kisses, passionate kisses; all the kisses. all the time. he lives to love, and he loves loving you. sings paper rings to his girl all the time, takes her to concerts, buys her flowers every week and picks little wildflower bouquets the other days of the week. your stevie is dancing silly little dances to your favorite records, slow dancing in the kitchen when you two can’t sleep, making you hot chocolate with cute colorful heart-shaped sprinkles on top, cuddling in front of the fire. he plans cute dates, gives you small trinkets that he knows you’ll appreciate because he knows you love the natural and free things in life, even if he deep down always wishes he could afford more extravagant things, “i don’t need expensive gifts, stevie. all i need is you and your perfect love”
