Guys I don’t want to run out of keeper content, but I DESPERATELY want Sophie’s story to resolve and come to a close.

If Shannon wants more money, she can write a prequel series about Jolie and I’ll give it to her

He still sees her in his dreams.

And when Brant opened the same flame that killed Jolie? Did he see her reflection in the face of her sister, writhing in pain?

[bookwyrminspiration]

this love will end today <- ao3 link

hi!! this is a ruedacted midas au I wrote for @thatrandomlemononyourcounter1 for the @kotlcfairytale exchange! i hope you enjoy <3

summary:

Prince Brant's kingdom is crumbling from the inside out, coffers running dry, but he learns wishes may be more than stories. When he runs into Jolie Ruewen, a bold avian expert, he's enchanted on the spot, and asks her to come back--she doesn't mind, as the palace has something she wants, and she needs time to find it. From different worlds, they find themselves drawn to each other and pushing the lines of decorum, but can it last?

warnings: major character death, implied animal sacrifice, (briefly) implied drinking/drunkenness

seriousy, how did jolie not know brant was a pyrokinetic. like. pyrokinetics canonically have higher than average body temperatures.

"this is my fiance, brant. he's been perpetually sick since, like, age fourteen. i have no idea what that's about. but it's fine, he's just quirky like that."

the series would've been exactly the same and made more sense if jolie knew about brant's pyrokinesis prior to joining the neverseen. it would've shown how strong their bond was, keeping that secret for him, and overall it would've made brantolie more tragic.

dark paradise

Because if she was right, then… Brant hadn’t just been with Jolie the day she’d died. He’d set the fire that killed her.

(dead like you…)

KOTLC Songs

(ft. a lot of Olivia Rodrigo, but there are some other artists)

@iggydancebreak since you mentioned living these sorts of things!

(Feel free to add onto the list)

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS! Fitz’s Olivia Rodrigo breakup music with Sophie!

Traitor (“you talked to her when we were together” and “guess you didn’t cheat but you’re still a traitor” and “remember I brought her up and you told me I was paranoid” and “I wish you would have thought this through before I went and fell in love with you”

Happier (“I hope you’re happy but not like how you were with me, I’m selfish I know, I can’t let you go, so find someone great but don’t find no one better, I hope you’re happy but don’t be happier” tell me that’s not his reaction to Sophie and Keefe)

Drivers License (“and you’re probably with that blonde guy who always made me doubt”)

Deja Vu (different lyrics but basically about how Keefe gives her gifts and chats with Sophie telepathically but that was Fitz and Sophie’s thing first)

OK NOW THAT FITZ HAS GOTTEN TO SING HIS ANGSTY BREAKUP MUSIC

Next up, Keefe Sencen’s complicated everything feelings!!

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift (specifically in the early books!!) (“can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you, been here all along so why can’t you see, you belong with me” also that song talks all about being with that person who is perfect on paper but isn’t the right person)

That’s what makes you beautiful by One Direction is just objectively a Sokeefe song! (“You’re insecure, don’t know what for, you’re turning heads when you walk through the door” and “Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you” and “you don’t know you’re beautiful, that’s what makes you beautiful”)

Enough for You by Olivia Rodrigo is Keefe to his parents, all you have to do is change the early lyrics about dating !! (“You say I’m never satisfied but I don’t think that’s true, you say I’m never satisfied but that’s not me it’s you, cause all I ever wanted was to be enough, but I don’t think anything could ever be enough, for you”)

The Grudge by Olivia Rodrigo is Keefe singing to his mother (“the trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers, you took everything I loved and crushed it in between youre fingers” and “I hear your voice every time that I think I’m not enough” and “I try to be tough but I want to scream how could anybody do the things you did so easily” and “I say that I’m fine, but you know I can’t let it go, I’ve tried I’ve tried I’ve tried” and “I try to understand how you could do this all to me” and “I know in my heart hurt people hurt people, we both drew blood, but man those cuts were never equal” and “do you think I deserved it all, your flowers filled with vitriol”) just ahdkfhskahddk

ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID!!! I cannot stress how KEEFE this song is. But specifically the bridge: “mother looking at me, tell me what do you see? Yes I’ve lost my mind… daddy looking at me, will I ever be free? Have I crossed the line? All the things she said, all the things she said, running through my head, running through my head, running through my head…” especially with “have I crossed the line” being the betrayal and “all the things she said” being his mother talking about Keefe’s legacy, embracing the change……… IT’S HIM.

Family Line by Conan Gray I have already mentioned before, but just. “All that I did to try to undo it, all of my pain and all youre excuses, I was a kid but I wasn’t clueless, someone who loves you wouldn’t do this” I’m gonna cry it’s him and I’m gonna cry

And now onto random Olivia Rodrigo songs that make me think of kotlc!

Lacy is Stina singing about Sophie. (“Lacy oh lacy, skin like puff pastry, aren’t you the sweetest thing on this side of hell. Lacy oh lacy, eyes wide as daisies, did I ever tell you that I’m not doing well” and “I care I care I care” and “you’ve got the one thing that I want” “aren’t you the greatest thing to ever exist” and “Lacy oh lacy, it’s like you’re out to get me, you poison every little thing that I do”) IS THAT NOT PROVIDING SO MUCH PERSPECTIVE. IS THAT NOT HOW STINA FEELS

Can’t Catch me Now is Jolie haunting Brant. (“There’s blood on the side of the mountain, there’s writing all over the wall, shadows of us are still dancing, in every room in every hall” and “all of the messes you made, yeah you think that you got away” and “I’m in the trees, I’m in the breeze, my footsteps on the ground, you’ll see my face in every place, but you can’t catch me now” and “you think I’m gone cause I left” and “you can’t, you can’t catch me now, I’m coming like a storm into your town, you can’t, you can’t catch me now, I’m higher than the hopes that you brought down” and “sometimes the fire you founded don’t burn the way you you’d expect, oh you thought that this was the end”) SCREAMING CRYING IS THAT NOT RUEDACTED IN A SONG

I WANT TO HEAR EVERYBODY’S THOUGHTS

[frizzle-mcshizzle]

a playlist for..... Brant?

i put a lot of work into this one, it starts with meeting Jolie and ends with his death

[swans-chirping-in-the-distance]

favorite tragic/doomed ship? from any fandom, i would love to hear your rants

ASHFKFLGL THANK YOU <33

I'm gonna go kotlc because I don't want to spoil anything for my non-main fandoms (I need people to brainrot over them like I did :3), so I'm gonna have to go with ruedacted.

Unlike koralie, they didn't have a chance to be saved. Their paths made so much sense. The two grew together into both being incredibly strong people who wanted to make a change. Brant just happened to fall into the Neverseen, and Jolie tried SO HARD to pull him out, but it was a tricky situation. How are you supposed to tell someone their main focus for changing the world for the better is wrong, especially when you've lied to say you agree with it? It all made such perfect sense. Brant's pyrokenisis was constantly begging him to be set free, and he was too angry to stop it. And he didn't want to kill her, but she was nothing but ash when he was done. And he had to live for almost two decades with knowledge of the love of his life's death being his fault. He got to join her in death soon after. Their personalities and their lives and their flaws just perfectly shaped them into their twisted, tragic destinies. And it's beautiful.

Burn for You - Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Animatic

(spoilers through Everblaze, tw: death)

This animatic is about Jolie confronting Brant.

At the end of it, she is trying to use her pathfinder, but it falls from her hand and breaks, in case that was not clear. Also, the two moments of text are "She didn't join" and "bad match". I did this three years ago I think.

[lucyshypemaster]

dear God, what did I do in my past life to deserve the ruedacted curse

[bookwormgirl123]

you know that “she was a bird, I was an arrow” TikTok trend? Yeah, yeah, it’s super ruedacted coded. Sorry. I don’t make the rules.
