#stefan/tursgud

[brotherbandchronicles]

moodboard request, maybe? Stefan/Tursgud aesthetic, a bad idea for all concerned?

"Did you fall for him before or after you started calling him sunshine and sweetheart to piss him off?" "I didn’t fall for him, he tripped me!" "…" "…" "He’ll break your heart, Tursgud, you know that, right?" "I’ll deal with it when it happens."

In @twofoursixohjuan's horribly cursed AU, Stefan sleeping with Tursgud's shark plushie after the latter dies.

[twofoursixohjuan]

74 or 81, Tursgud, Stefan, Jesper

ooh you know my weakness for weather metaphors

81. we're in the middle of a storm and you want to stop and feel the rain?

Slaves of Socorro, just after Nightwolf goes down:

Stefan's always been...aware of Tursgud. As an enemy, as a threat, then later as a guilt, a magnetism, a fire that whispers touch me, it'll hurt. It's nothing to how he feels for Jesper, but Stefan and Tursgud have been whirling in each other's orbits for a long time, and that kind of fascination doesn't die easily.

But Tursgud does, as it turns out.

Stefan watches Nightwolf go down with a sort of detached horror. Part of him wants to dive overboard, try to swim for survivors (there will be none). Another part, a much larger part, thinks callously, Good.

But he still can't move from the rail.

The Heron lurches wildly under his feet, and there's a thud beside him as Jesper loses his footing and stumbles against the bulwark, setting the shields rattling. It takes Stefan a long moment to look up.

"Stef, the sails," says Jesper, voice fast and tight, and Stefan blinks at him for a long moment as the ship lurches again, spray from the boulder that just missed them stinging his face. The port sail is up but fluttering against the mast, and Jesper can't raise the starboard yardarm on his own.

"He's just—" he manages, but that's as far as he gets before Jesper catches his shoulder and shakes it.

"Not now, Stef," he says. "This is the storm. Get through this and feel the rain later."

A stray arrow fired from the bank whips past Jesper's shoulder, and Stefan's brain kicks back into gear. He fights past the urge to shove Jesper to the deck and stand over him and defend him because he's not losing anyone else today—

(What does it mean, that Tursgud's death makes him feel like this?)

Instead, he nods once, grateful, and dives for the starboard lines.

WAIT

SHIT

REMEMBER THAT FANTASY UNDEAD TURSGUD AU?

WHAT IF SHE'S LINKED TO TURSGUD? MOTHER? GRANDMOTHER? CREEPY FUCKING AUNT?

shark? link to siren Stefan?

juan is forced to write more stefgurd

Great-Aunt Winfredia is one of the Vallas

Day 10: Elaborate! In which I elaborate on my favorite Brotherband moments.

When the gang pretend Ingvar is a bear, Stefan is Tursgud, and generally wreak havoc on the Sharks. Good times.

Thorn and Lydia's scouting mission is one of the reasons the Hunters is my favorite BB book. They have a great dynamic!

Edvin knitting the caps. I love him so much.

Any time the Herons break out the instruments and start on "The Herons, the Herons, the mighty fightn' Herons" is a good time. The terrible rhymes, Hal hating it and Erak loving it....wonderful.

The Heron flee from Hallasholm, pursued by a vengeful Erak is one of the funniest scenes in fiction, change my mind. You can't.

Gilan interacting with the Herons gives me immensely happy feelings. And his mission with Lydia? Deceased.

On that note, Gilan's fight with the Shurmel gets me excited every time!

Thorn stopping the crossbow bolt? Badass.

Thorn threatening the Ghostface by saying he'd nibble on his fingers and toes...why is this amazing? I love it.

This list grows Thorn heavy, but you know the scene where the ship is riding the wave from the Caldera, and everyone is terrified? Thorn is so excited, like he's in a Wisconsin Dells ride. Glorious.

Stig calling out Olaf on his bullshit gives me immense satisfaction. Then him finding healing and family with the Herons? Immaculate.

Ulf and Wulf tying at rock-paper-scissors every time, to the horror of the judges will live on in my memory as the second funniest scene John Flannagan wrote.

Jesper saving the kids from the bear after spending the book as a useless loser is such a good moment. You go Jesper!

Kloof. That's it, that's the bullet point.

[thelastranger]

Why do I ship Stefan and Tursgud a bit?

Questions:

1. Are you doing okay?

2.Can we come up with an AU where this would work?

Hi! I'm doing good- this year has been very busy for me so I haven't had much time at all to write.

I think Stefan and Tursgurd would work best if they maybe had like a casual thing going before the brotherband competition and then Tursgurd was both so upset that Stefan won but also really upset that he's been exiled (emotions are hard!) This would lead to the Sharks also leaving Hallasholm to find the Andomal with the Herons but like the Sharks arrive like a day or two later to every place and kinda watch incredulously . Over the course of the journey, Tursgurd and Stefan reconcile and talk things through. Tursgurd learns that he doesn't have to be the best and learns humility and Stefan has someone who is ride or die.

[uncanny-accuracy]

what I'm annoyed about Flannagan's writing:

-why do almost all main villains have black hair? (Tursgud is the only main villain who's a blondie)

-Why doesn't Stefan mimic women or the twins? both would be useful.

-no offence to Wulf, but he needs to get injured instead of Ulf.

-can there be some major double agenting in the books? please? IDC whether it's RA or BB

Morgarath has white-blond hair, actually! And I would love to see some double-agenting. I think I'd lose my mind though if Flanagan ever proved to be that big brained

And I pretty sure Stefan mimicked the twins once? Just as a joke though. It had no major use. And maybe he can't do female voices

[redrose-arrow]

Au Idea

What if BB and/or RA crew met their opposite personalities? Could so maybe write a fan fic about that? 

opposite BB:

- opposite Stig: likes to provoke people’s temper, not motivated, smart and a strategist, calm

-opposite Hal: aggressive ,reckless ,violent, has anger issues, bossy, arrogant

- opposite Stefan: shy, bookish, modest, secretly good at mimicry, intelligent

- opposite Jesper: sweet, philosophical, obedient, loyal, will hurt you if you hurt his friends

- opposite Ulf and Wulf: never swap places, never fight, lazy, a bit snobby because they know they never fight, would sacrifice and let harm come to each other

-opposite Edvin:has Stefan's personality, good at making calculations

- opposite Ingvar:has Jesper's personality, is the only one who knows Edvin loves to knit and cook

Other Stuff:These Herons don’t like each other at all, with the exception of opposite Jesper and Stefan. This Hal is very much like Tursgud and so nobody really likes him. 

I haven't decided opposite RA yet...

[brotherbandchronicles]

a couple of thoughts i've been having too many feelings about lately

now and then and mikkel and thorn (now and then i miss you? ahsdadhfsldashfjl)

knut 'he (stefan) broke your (tursgud's) heart! do i need to break his face?'

stig's 'i love you' and hal's gentle 'i know'

in contrast, the first 'i love you' directed at jesper sending him straight into panic

ansgar telling stefan that if he breaks jesper's heart, there will be consequences

erak listening to three people regarding his health - axel (wolfwind healer), svengal (sometimes) and edvin (he's got axel's clearance plus he's scary)

edvin, jesper, stef, ingvar, wulf and ulf showing up at rollond's doorstep, him opening the door and closing them immediately with a no (rollond, listen, there's quite a big chance hal will be chosen for the new oberjarl election, and we all know hallasholm will burn into the ground, if it happens)

wolves and herons friendship

stefan singing mikkel's songs

herons lying around their campfire, edvin starting picking his hands and jesper showing his leg into them not looking up from where he's opening his locks

karina leaving everything behind in araluen

hal and karina speaking araluen at home

edvin teaching ingvar how to read after hal makes him his spectacles

the reunions after the events of the ghostfaces (thorn showing up at karina's door without hal (he's walking stig home) and she being terrified for a moment her son didn't make it)

karina meeting gilan

girls gathering around stefan after herons' every return because he always got the tea (jesper leaning into his side, quietly listening)

edvin dropping a heavy book in front of the training instructors ('what's that?' 'healer manual so the poor kids have somewhere to start')

mikkel showing wee tiny hal to his crewmates for the first time

the wolfwind crew being proud of mikkel's kid every step of the way

inevitably, hal hanging thorn's shield on the wall next to mikkel's in the dead hall

[swordanddreamcatcher]

Okay, okay. So.

Rollond's the one who finds out first, completely by accident. He had a really obvious bruise and was complaining to Lotte and she was just like "I can cover it up for you".

That's how it started. It all snowballed from there.

So Rollond started asking about all sorts of makeup, like, how to do eyeliner and stuff, and was just really curious about blending for some reason.

One day, out of complete boredom, he tried himself.

He failed spectacularly.

Lotte walked in and (once she finished laughing) offered to do it for him. Thus started the weekly teach-Rollond-makeup routine.

Then she took him dress shopping. By now Edvin, Stefan and Hal have found out through Lydia, and they're like, okay, could be useful, but mainly shrug it off.

Lotte was just browsing and asking Rollond for dress and shoe ideas and they were looking at makeup and jewelry.

It was a complete joke at first, when he picked up heels and a dress in his size. But one became two and by the end of shopping, he had at least five dresses and several heels.

Of course that was sort of frowned upon. It wasn't discouraged by Skanadians, there were guys who went out and did that, but people like Tursgud and sort of society in general thought it was weird.

So Rollond would try on dresses and learn how to walk in heels while learning makeup. He found it fun but complained all the time about blisters and twisted ankles.

This is where Jesper enters the scene.

Lotte was helping Rollond to walk, he wasn't in a dress because that was just one of those random things he did but he was wearing makeup.

Anyway, Jesper walks in, and they both freeze.

The first thing he does is say "I don't think that's your shade" to Rollond, and then sits down and starts messing.

After a few weeks Jesper has been totally ingrained in makeup-dress-heels thing, although he's really only there for the makeup.

Rollond likes the dresses but hates heels. Anything over three inches he declares should be burnt. Makeup's sort of just a side thing for him, a hobby.

Jesper is iffy about dresses because here aren't as many he can pull off. He's okay with heels, finds them annoying in some ways, but he's brilliant at walking in them and looks great too. The only makeup he can apply his eyeliner, mascara and concealer. He absolutely whined for Lotte to teach him.

It's a few months later, when the Herons need someone to pose as a couple. Stefan and Jesper are immediately elected - Stefan for being a mimic, Jesper for his thievery and the two in general because, well, the Herons sort of like the idea of them being together.

When Jesper pulls off the dress, makeup and heels they shrug it off as a "Jesper quirk", which includes embroidery, playing violin and piano, is good with hair and can do ballet.

No one asks how he can do any of this.

However, there's a complication. Stefan is found put, suspicion falls to Jesper, but everyone thinks he's a girl named Melanie for some reason. He's not sure how that happened.

Stefan's pinned down, the Herons are cornered, and Jesper/Melanie casually asked why they aren't attacking him.

One person - Jesper later refers to him as "Bob-who-didn't-make-the-sequel" - answers that it's not naturally for girls to fight.

Jesper/Melanie looks them dead in the eye. "No, what's not natural is for someone to be as stupid as they are tall, but oops, there you stand." And then he fucking decks them.

The Herons are amazed, even Stefan and Edvin. Because Jesper/Melanie had barely knocked his wig, his lipstick is smeared, but he just wiped it off, he's wearing a dress and just won a bar fight in fucking heels.

Safe to say, Lotte is interrogated by Hal, and Stefan swings by to learn. Rollond laughs the entire time.

Jesper's lessons then move on to dancing and running in heels, which leads to Rollond doing so as well, often with dresses, makeup and wigs on.

It's safe to say he's not a fan, but it sure comes in useful in a later undercover mission, where he is once again Jesper/Melanie, and Rollond is a girl named Anna. Lotte has never laughed so hard in her life.

Alright but Lotte teaching Jesper and Rollond how to walk in heels and do makeup and the Herons reactions when Jesper goes undercover as a woman and wins a bar fight in high heels has been living in my head all day-

[brotherbandarchive]

Stefan singing up a thunderstorm to follow Tursgud wherever he goes all day, relentlessly pouring down buckets of icy rain on him

[twofoursixohjuan]

fell victim to one of the classic blunders (thought too hard about a crackship and got invested)

[brotherbandarchive]

And if so, how did he find out and how does he feel about it?

[twofoursixohjuan]

For the ship bingo:

Joke answer is Stefan/Tursgurd

Slightly more serious answer is Stefan/Jesper

:)

Ayyyyyy

Stefan/Tursgud:
