#ruthari modern au

[cosmicpoutine]

[modern/biker au] they're still grounded from their previous antics.

im gonna be taking this in small parts of them being stupid, but im gonna try to go deeper into the biker au. be patient guys

part 1/ ??

[bluemoonblade]

Modern ruthari au where Ethari is a burnt out musician and moves away to a smaller town to catch a break from some psycho fans who messed with his life. There he meets Runaan and gets inspired to continue creating his music 🫶

The lore in this one is deep and complicated but i still need to sort it out and arrange it in a way that will make the most sense 🥹 but for now!! At least an animatic of one of the scenes :3

Assembling furniture with your darling🥰

If TDP was in a modern setting, Ethari would LOVE Forged in Fire.

Like, a competitive blacksmithing show??? And he's a dad, so he MUST have a Dad Show that he watches after a long day.

An educated guess >> I defend my thesis in the tags

for readers of my modern AU "Coming Home to Me"

But have you considered, in a modern AU, pre-relationship: Ethari has heard Runaan talk to Lain about wanting an ace ring but never being able to actually find one he likes enough to spend the money on (plus not wanting to spend the time figuring out ring sizes). So, for a holiday, birthday, or maybe even with no occasion as an excuse, Ethari makes one and gives it to him. I don’t have a full idea of what it would look like, but it would probably be a simple band with an etching of something important to Runaan. Runaan sees it and is like “oh” 😳

(Bonus points if Runaan already had feelings for Ethari, and in the past has had partners who were not understanding of his identity, so Ethari showing he respects it without Runaan having to ask, and put so much time into making a symbol that’s so personal, is indescribably precious to him.)

Fandom ask game: 6, 9, and 11!

omg yay thank you, let's gooooooo

6. something you see in art a lot and love

I am weak for Ruthari art where one of them is sleeping on top of the other, and they're both just completely crashed out. Absolute epitome of "let them rest." So many artists draw and writers write this very specific pose that I feel we are all just sleep deprived fools who need a full night's sleep but we can't get it so we give it to them instead and I love that for us actually.

Let them rest. Let us all rest. So say we all.

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

Kimditi. They jumped me in a dark alley! I was unprepared! 22% of their fics on ao3 are mine, as of today.

I also really enjoy Janaya, who are far calmer in vibes and whom I can actually watch on the screen anytime I want to.

11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

OH THIS IS HARD HOW DO I CHOOSE AMONG MY CHILDREN LIKE THIS

uh uh ummm uhhhhh

Probably either Moonberry Wishes for feel-good feels,

or Taking the Plunge for BH-canon compliant Ruthari,

or Free Rooster for being absolute guano loco hilarious,

or House Rules for moonfam feels, god I love this one,

or A Hundred Hellos for a fun format I just made up and stuck with for 100 separate scenes AND ACTUALLY FINISHED,

or my unfinished modern AU Ruthari longfic Seeing the Light which ended up hitting me like a truck

I just. love writing. so much okay. I love making stuff up, I love writing it down, it's all so different and it each has an emotional niche and I really really really can't pick one, this was hard enough as it is!!!

[uglyduchessrantsandcomments]

Should I make... A French Ruthari modern AU 👀👀👀 adopting bébé Rayla... And fighting le méchant Viren 👀👀👀 and make them peak representation for la mafia végétarienne homosexuelle wokiste? Delicious

I just wanna say, if you aren't American, definitely try setting a modern AU in your country. Fill it with the things you know, to breathe life into it. It's really nice to see new settings, to open up a fic and go 'oh wait, hold up, I know that place'. It might only apply to a few people who read your fic but it's really rewarding to get that feedback.

(Americans keep doing you, just trying to encourage the rest of us lol)

[cosmicpoutine]

[modern/biker au] eat your damn food, rayla

runaan seems the type to get in trouble a lot. it might seem like he's not a good example to rayla, but i swear hes trying his best. i couldn't keep the "i do what i have to do to keep the people i love safe" out of him.

also, im still getting used to this tablet so idk what's going on

[silkiecorn]

I have returned!!!! Here are some modern au stuff!

[rumowrites]

I had a question for you about GSFYAM. But each time, the question escaped !

Now, I got it !

When Ethari disappeared and got hit on. What did Runaan do to the guys ?

Oooooh ooooooh

Okay so first of all: Ethari didn't get hit on, he got hit. Stumbled into the wrong bar and got roughed up a bit for being a foreigner that looked like an easy traget. (Hence the nosebleed and bruises)

So what did Runaan do? Well... Let's say he didn't quite like someone laying hands on his charge and much less injuring said charge. He basically went out to find them (he made Ethari describe them as best he could and give him the name of the bar) and then let them taste some of their own medicine. They are all still alive but might be missing a few teeth and definitely won't walk straight for a while.

Thanks for tagging :D hyped for when the fics above drop <3

Writer's block is still keeping me in a chokehold and my motivation went down the drain with what's been happening the past few weeks, so who knows when anything of what I'm trying to write will actually see the light of day... But I can show a bit from the next chapter of "Walking a Travelled Path" (1) and a scene from a modern-AU ruthari fic I started writing forever ago out of boredom (which might turn into Harrow/Runaan/Ethari) (2)

(1) Of course luck had sent fate a script on how to play out, but fate had always enjoyed their own, highly edited versions nobody else ever appreciated far more. Which is how Runaan found himself inching his way towards what was hopefully an exit, next to the human who looked as miserable as the elf felt.

(2) Raising an eyebrow at his husband, Ethari hummed good naturedly, “We’ll see about that, my heart.�� After pocketing his own phone again he swiftly grabbed the offending chair and turned to leave the room. With his back to his bound lover he couldn’t see just how longingly Runaan stared at the visible muscles at work, but the low whine and the immediately following clearing of one’s throat gave him a pretty good idea of his husband’s expression.

Whoever wants to share something about their WIP: feel tagged <3

WIP Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, friends! I am currently listening to my head bops while editing Lavender hearts at 7am, so it is... quite the contrast 🤣

Here's a bit from Lavender hearts that I edited this morning. This will likely be my last post about my COTTA, since I post on Wednesday next week!!

He lets me lean my full weight on him, supporting and holding me while I try to slow my mind.

“Here’s what we’re going to do,” he says. I lift my head to find him already looking at me. “We’re going to make a list. A plan for how to deal with the coming months, yeah? Penny likes her ‘What we know, what we don’t’ lists, or we could make a regular list. Okay?”

I take a deep breath and exhale shakily.

“Okay.”

I've also signed up as an artist for @carryon-reverse-bang! This is a very early (read: the first) design of the head pattern:

Poor Simon looks absolutely squished xD There's a reason us pattern designers do so much frogging and so many trials haha. I don't have any more recent photos, though, so that's what I've got.

And I'm planning to write for @ruthariweek! (Jumping into so many back-to-back fandom fests/events after a few-month fandom break may not have been the smartest plan. I am both overwhelmed and tired, but I don't regret anything.) The fic is pretty much complete, so here are some sentences I love.

...[Runaan] fidgets with the weapon on his prosthetic, opening and closing the knife.

Ethari throws himself into untangling his hair like he’s another one of his delicate creations, fingers dancing along his scalp and teasing through his long hair.

...the new king of Katolis (within whom he found a shared love of jelly tarts after apologizing)...

“My lovely, grumpy moonberry.”

Ethari catches him with ease (those artist’s arms), guiding him back down to the grass.

Do I take every possible opportunity to project my artist woes/strengths onto Ethari? Yes, yes I do. (Also yes, I will always write more disability rep :D)
