sorry if this is dumb but can you give an example of something that is extracanon, I don't want to get it wrong
For the second week, Chains, I may choose to focus on suffering as something that weighs us down or imprisons us. I might write a fic that explores how Claudia deals with the events of season 5 without Terry to ground her. Does her suffering become too much? Does she grow darker? Does she give up and not even try? Does she find someone else to share the load?
Those themes would be fun for me to explore. Choose an idea you love and run with it!

Easy pickings, it seemed.
She crept up on the seemingly asleep form on the beach. Honestly, he seemed dead. She preferred her prey to still have a heartbeat, but she wasn't going to be picky.
Kim'dael got right over him, frowning as she sniffed. His pale skin under his greying hair was pale from exhaustion, though nothing was blue yet. Alive? Maybe not. However, he still seemed fresh. She leaned downâ
"AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUHH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
He bolted up and screamed, eliciting Kim'dael's shriek in response, falling backwards into the sand. The man seemed to be regaining his senses. She vanished in a cloud of embarrassed red, leaving him panting on the sand, looking around with bewilderment.
Yikes. She hoped to never see him again.

You can't tell me that "Mr Mage" and his "magical staff" wouldn't be expressions heavily used in Rayla and Callum's bedroom talk.

For your drabble prompts requests, perhaps Callum asking Rayla about her time in Scumport?
Can't wait to read what you put out! :)
This one, I already partly wrote, because it's part of the Scumport chapter of Downtime's Up, I finished up a section and reworked it a bit to be more of a stand-alone drabble. In four chapters' time, I'll post the rest of it :)
Hope you enjoy, and thank you for asking! Obviously, I agree with you on wanting him to ask about this đ
âRayla you⌠the way you talk about being beat up in actual fighting pits like itâs just⌠Tuesday, I-â
âIt wasnât like it was a good Tuesday,â she shrugged.
âBut it wasnât an outlier.â he said, his jaw clenched tight, his fists at his side, his whole being⌠wound up. âAs your Tuesdays went.â No humor at all. No question. âIt wasnât the worst time you had in those two years.â
âNo.â It hadnât even been the worst time sheâd had that week.
âRayla, thatâs fucking messed up! You do get that thatâs messed up, right?!â
She looked down in the mud. Mess was right. It hadnât felt like anything at the time, but⌠it wasnât nothing, either. Itâd stuck with her for a while, the laughter, the jarring impact of that fist, the taste of dirt and blood and humiliation and failure-
Alright, so⌠maybe it was still a little bit stuck with her.
âI⌠I didnât like it. It was⌠not fun. But it was-â
There was the creak of some door, and she jumped, her hand going for Runaanâs bow, before she saw a skinny lad with a broom, going about his shitty day in this shitty place where shitty things happened⌠that she couldnât change for him. Or for herself.
What had happened in this place had happened, and worse things by far had happened and would happen.
It was life so⌠it had to be okay.
ââŚokay-â she finished.
Callumâs fists released and his eyes softened, his arms reaching for her.
His embrace was gentle, but tight all the same, one of his arms pulling her flush against him, the other sliding up her back to cradle her head.
And for some reason, it felt suddenly and all at once not okay anymore.
âI thought I saw you, up there. Your red scarf, your eyes. Youâre fucking distracting, you know, even when you arenât even there.â She sniffled, somehow bubbling out easily, here, in the circle of his arms where there was room for weakness. The last time she had been in these pits, that weakness had quite literally earned her a fist in the face, but⌠now?
Now the scarf was real; he was real.
Now, there was room.
He didnât move and his embrace didnât let up, for what felt like a long time. His thumb stroked gently along her jaw where the bruise had been, again and again, like he could erase some mark that was already long gone.
âWas that why you lost?â he asked, his breath making a strand of her hair tickle against her cheek.
Itâd be easy to lie; it really was a question, this time.
âYes.â

16 & 20 for Sorvusđđť
 Corvus had really tried to keep an eye on Soren. He had promised Claudia, after all. Sheâd made it very clear what would happen otherwise. But in the mass of gyrating bodies, roaring music, and strobing lights it had been far too easy for him to slip away into the crowd. Corvus cursed under his breath as somebody bumped into him, sloshing part of their drink down his front. They didnât even notice in whatever haze they were in; just continued dancing. He swerved around them, ringing whatever it was from his shirt as best he could. He hated parties.
 The only reason he had agreed to come to this one was because Soren had asked. Corvus had to admit heâd been surprised. Theyâd been playing on the Katolis Crownguards together for years and the other boy had never seemed to show any particular interest in him. But something about Soren had changed recently. And whatever had changed had also brought him waltzing across the locker room after practice to ask Corvus if he wanted to go to the New Yearâs Eve party. And for some stupid reason Corvus had said yes. Even though he hated parties and heâd already made plans with Gren and Amaya. Sheâd rolled her eyes when he canceled on them, but Gren had tried to be supportive and offer words of encouragement. That might have been worse. It was certainly more embarrassing.
 And then heâd shown up, and Sorenâs sister had been there, ducking out the door giggling with boyfriend in tow. Sheâs drawn up short when she saw him, then thrown her arms wide and grinned, swallowing him in a gigantic hug.Â
 âCorvus!â sheâd cried. âThank god youâre here. Can you keep an eye on Sor-bear for me?â
 Her breath had reeked of alcohol and mistakes about to be made. But heâd just nodded, even as she warned him that for all Soren might boast, he couldnât handle his booze and that Corvus was under no circumstances to let him have more than three drinks.
 âHow many has he had already?â Corvus had asked.
 Sheâd thought for a moment. âFive!â
 Corvus had been about to ask how that was supposed to work, but she was already skipping down the drive and away, dragging Terry with her (he at least gave Corvus an apologetic smile before allowing himself to be pulled behind a bush). Corvus had sighed, rolled up his metaphorical sleeves (it was too cold to actually do it) and gone inside.
 He had caught sight of Soren several times over the course of the night, usually by the cooler, often surrounded by the other members of the Katolis Crownguards. But by the time that Corvus had fought his way through the crowd, he had vanished, melting back into the throng of celebrating teenagers. That was how Corvus ended up with drink spilled down his front.Â
 Giving up, he pushed frustratedly through to the bathroom. It was occupied, but the door was open, and he took that as an excuse to kick out the pair of lovesick seniors who clearly werenât using it correctly. They ran off giggling and he was able to close the door behind them and block out some of the noise.
 Corvus took off his shirt and wrung it out over the sink before slipping it back on, wrinklier and still smelling strongly of vodka. He should never have let himself be this stupid. What had he been thinking? New Yearâs Eve parties are always like this. Theyâve always been like this and they always will be like this. And he was stupid to think that he could like one, no matter who had invited-
 Corvus opened the door to find Soren standing there. Alright, standing was a stretch. He had very clearly had more than three drinks (and probably more than five) and it looked like he probably would be on the floor without the support of the banister. And yet there was still a plastic cup in his hand, newly filled by the looks of it.Â
âCorvus!â Soren exclaimed, throwing his hands into the air and sloshing the contents of the cup onto the floor. âYou made it! Guys, look, Corvus made it!âÂ
 Corvus looked around, but the announcement had been made to a mostly empty hallway. Certainly not to anybody he recognized.
 âHow many of those have you had?â he asked, pointing to the cup in a desperate attempt to live up to Claudiaâs (drunken and most likely misguided) trust.
 âOh, uh. I donât know.â Soren mused, taking a few lopsided steps forward. âSeven-â
 âThatâs not so bad.â
 â-ty four?â
 Corvus was about to explain why that number was highly improbable, but decided it would be breath wasted.Â
 âLetâs get you some water.â he said instead, guiding Soren over to sit on the edge of the tub even as he plucked the plastic cup from his hand and dumped itâs contents into the sink.
 Once he was satisfied that Soren wouldn't fall backwards and hurt himself, he rinsed the cup out a few times (just to be safe) and filled it with water from the tap. Soren didnât even seem to notice that the cup had been absent by the time heâd slipped it back into his hand.
 âYouâre so perfect.â Soren said as Corvus sat down next to him, one hand steadying him. âDid you know that? You should know that. People probably tell you allllll the time. How can anyone be so perfect?â
 âSoren, drink your water.âÂ
 âMaybe youâre just a dream.â he continued, but afterwards he did take a sip.Â
 âBut not like a nightmare. No, not like a nightmare.â Soren shook his head violently, something he seemed to regret immediately after. âLike a good dream. A good, good dream.â
 Corvus tried to ignore what he was saying. Sure, if he hadn't of been drunk, then this would probably be a scene right out of one of Corvusâ own dreams. But he was drunk. Corvus reminded himself of that several times. He was drunk, so none of this was real. It might as well be a dream, for all the truth in it.
 âWait no.â Soren said after a moment of silence, holding up a finger as if to ask for pause. âThis is not a dream. I think. Cause in my dreams, weâre usually kissing.â
 And that did catch Corvusâ attention despite his best efforts.
 âWeâre usually⌠kissing?â
 âYeah.â Soren nodded, a little more gingerly this time. âYuppers.â
 Corvus ignored the word yuppers. âDo you⌠do you like me?â
 âWhy wouldnât I like you?â Soren asked, perplexed. Corvus wasnât sure if it was because of the amount of alcohol in his system or if it was actually a stupid question to ask. âOf course I like you. Youâre Corvus.â
 âThen did you⌠did you invite meâŚâ Corvus glanced around, and even though it was just them, he still whispered the last bit of his question. âAs a date?â
 âWhat? Nooooo.â Soren said, and Corvus' heart dropped to his stomach. His face burned as Soren continued; "You're Corvus.â
 âYeah. Iâm Corvus.â he agreed quietly, feeling silly. Of course Soren didnât like him back. Heâd invited all of the Crownguards. And after all, like Soren had said, he was Corvus.
 But Soren wasnât done yet. âYouâre Corvus.â he said again. âYouâre so cool, and classy, and you play the giant violin-â
 âCello.â
 âThatâs what I said. Youâre just like so⌠Corvus.â
 âAnd is that⌠a good thing?â
 âDuh.â Soren slapped him on the back so hard Corvus nearly fell forward onto the floor. But he was laughing, and then they were both laughing. After a moment Soren fell silent, and he stared into his little plastic cup the way people stare into shot glasses in movies.
 âAnd Iâm so⌠Soren. Youâre all cool and cute and confident and Iâm all⌠not.â
 âWhat are you talking about?â Corvus asked, genuinely confused. âYouâre one of the most confident people I know.â
 He didnât add that Soren was also definitely cute.
 Soren snorted, and though there was still a bit of a slur in his voice as he spoke, his expression was downcast. âIâm so not confident. Iâm like⌠Iâm like stupid, and not smart, and worthless.â
 Corvus wasnât really sure what to say to that, so instead he just looped an arm around Sorenâs shoulders, which did seem to successfully distract them both from anything else that had been happening. So they just sat there for a moment, until eventually Soren freed his own arm from where it was trapped between them and looped it around Corvusâ shoulders in turn.Â
 âThis is nice.â he said. âWhy donât we do this all the time?â
 âWell-â Corvus began, but he cut himself off. âI donât know.â
 âWe should. I think Iâd like that.â And then Soren ruined the moment by winking at him and adding; âDream boy.â
 Corvus could just imagine Amaya rolling her eyes. But he banished her spectral presence, feeling heat rising in his cheeks. Which Soren then proceeded to poke.Â
 âWhat are you doing?â Corvus asked, startled.
 âMaking sure youâre real.â Soren replied, poking him again. âSee. You are real. So thatâs cool.â
 âYes. Very cool.â

One thing Rayla didn't tell Callum was about elves and their horns.
Callum touched her horns once. They always fascinated him so he couldn't resist. Rayla's cheeks were flushed, but she didn't protest. That's why Callum never thought it was weird to occasionally touch her horns that made her so beautiful.
Once, when Rayla was visiting her family, Callum lightly ran his fingers over one of her horns. He was already doing it automatically, but the feeling of joy remained.
Rayla's parents, all four of them, almost lost their temper at the scene.
It was only then that Rayla revealed to Callum that only lifelong partners ever touch their loved one's horns.

TDPtober 2-love
Summary: Corvus reflects on what he loves
Pairings: Soren x Corvus (Of course its Sorvus, its me writing this :P)
There was much traced into the lines of his memory. The way the chill of autumn was drawn into the lungs, refreshing the body from the heat of summer. The way the leaves became dry and brittle underfoot, nourishing the earth for the coming spring. A home in the alleys of trees, off beaten paths and into the thickets, where the greenery sheltered him like a warm blanket.Â
He had dedicated himself to remember his parents, the home cooked meals from his father, carefully spooning the dish onto his empty plate. A mother, and her barely contained love in a crushing embrace, laughing as he tried to breathe and flailed, pretending to attempt an escape. He remembered their pride when he was recruited to be among Amayaâs scouts, and the same shine in their eyes when Soren had accepted him as a crownguard.Â
And Soren. It felt like if anything had made itself at home in his thoughts, it was him. Some things good. The way he leapt into hugging Corvus in the mushroom forest. Some things bad. The tired lines under his eyes after the return to a burned home. Some things terrible. The wailing sobs, inhuman screams tearing at his throat at the loss of a sister, not literally, but through change. She had become unrecognizable, and he grieved in privacy until Corvus had found him.Â
But nothing came close to everything Soren had done in love. It felt as if he tried to forget, that a core part of his mind would be lost, and he wouldnât be the same, lobotomized and left changed. The laugher Soren always seemed to bring, the smile tugging at his lips when he looked eagerly to see if he had succeeded in bringing a little bit more joy into Corvusâs day. They way he had taken Corvusâs hand, correcting the positioning on the sword, helping him improve a little more. The way he took note of when Corvus was overwhelmed, and the gentle way he guided Corvus to safety. The way he was kind. The way he pushed Corvus to become better just by virtue of being good himself.Â
There was one day Corvus would never forget, that encapsulated everything he knew Soren to be. It was a bad day for the both of them. Corvus had taken the destruction of Katolis poorly, the home he had come to love had gone, which made him think of the homes and the people he had left behind. He realized that he had sunken into his solitude too readily, not writing like he should have. The resounding guilt multiplied the tension in his body with the sensory overload that the refugee camp had become that day. But there was ceaseless work to be done, and he ran himself ragged that despite it.Â
When he saw Soren around camp, he knew his captain was doing no good either. He wondered if this time, it was because of Virenâs haunting memory, or the lingering reminder of a once familiar Claudia in every broken stone, in every hidden pathway that was not collapsed and used in recovery missions. He had once led Corvus and Opeli and Barius and later the young king Ezran out of those passages. He wondered if, then, Soren had recognized that his family would never be the same as it once did.Â
Corvus had returned to their shared tent expecting Soren to be curled on his sleeping mat, wanting to be left in peace. He did not expect Soren to be there with a plate of peanut caramel pies, one of his favorite treats, and some strange looking curved stick with two wads of cotton on either end. He sat crossed legged, his shoulders hunched over in clear fatigue and his smile tired. But it reached his eyes. When he spoke, it carried the weight of the day in its softness.Â
âYou looked stressed today,â he said. âI asked Barius to make these, and I made this. I call it a noise-stopper. You put it over your ears.â Soren held up his invention, waiting for permission. When Corvus nodded, he leaned forward, setting the cotton pads gently over Corvusâs ears. It did not stop the noise completely, but it provided a hefty shield against what made noise overwhelming in the first place. The texture felt nice on his skin, too, much like the sheepâs soft wool that made the clothes he wore.Â
Corvus did not know what to say, so he leaned forward and pressed his lips against Sorenâs in a grateful kiss. At that point, their tentative relationship had not gone anywhere past hand holding, and looks that said âIâm starting to see you as something different. Iâm sorry it took this tragedy to finally notice.â He did not think the kiss would be rejected, and he was glad to see it returned with the same energy he put into it. Neither was surprised in the development, but it was nice to have confirmation. Their sleeping mats had been gradually drifting closer to each other every night for the past two weeks, and they finally closed the distance completely that day. Corvusâs head tucked into the crook of Sorenâs neck as they fell asleep, both knowing they loved, and were loved.Â

Rayllum Month 2024 - July 15th: Second First Kiss
Callum and Rayla stood with their hands on their knees and panted, along with Sneezeles and Stella who sighed in relief on Callumâs shoulders. The massive explosion, followed by the inferno that nearly overtook the ship which lead Callum to rush in to Raylaâs aid, was finally gone thanks to his spell. The smoke was still too thick and suffocating, causing them both to cough. They leaned on each other, arm in arm, and helped each other walk out.
They finally reached an exit, leaving behind the scorching fumes of the ship and went into the freezing winds of the Frozen Sea. They felt their faces start to sting from the sudden temperature change. The two of them focused on catching their breath despite the air being too cold for their lungs. They finally faced each other, checking if they were each doing well. Then suddenly, they rushed into each otherâs arms.
âI thought I was going to lose you,â Callum said, his voice deep with emotion, as his arms tightened around her. They breathed deeply as they held each other then pulled back.
Callum then reached for Raylaâs cheeks and cupped them in his hands, warming her skin from the bitter cold surrounding her. Much to her surprise, he immediately pulled her face closer to his and she felt his lips against hers. Raylaâs eyes were wide open and her whole body felt petrified. So many thoughts and feelings ran through her head all at once as her heart pounded in her chest and she felt her whole body consumed by a rush.
Callum slowly pulled away, but leaned his forehead against hers, slowly opening his eyes to look straight into hers. He felt a tinge of awkwardness, wondering if he acted too soon as he noticed her dazed look. Before he could back away or say anything, Rayla wrapped her hands around his neck and kept him close.
More, her eyes signaled to him.
They simultaneously closed their eyes and their lips met once again. With each passing moment, their kiss grew more intense and passionate. Rayla ran her fingers through Callumâs soft hair, and he gripped her back with one hand and her head in his other, leaving no gap between them and neither of them planning to let go anytime soon.
Once they finally pulled away, they looked into each otherâs eyes and let out a soft giggle. For the first time in two years, they were this close to each other again.

Rayllum Month 2024! (5/13)
you know i still love you, babe
July 9th - âI Still Love YouââReconciliation
~
Rayla poked her head into Callumâs room. âHey, is Stella in here?â
He looked up from petting said cuddlemonkey nestled under his arm. âMaybe.â
She sat down on the bench at the end of his bed, resting her arms on the mattress to look at Callum, cuddled up with Bait and Stella. âTheyâve been spending an awful lot of time with you lately.â
âGuess magical creatures just like Ocean mages,â Callum said lamely. Ezran was the animal whisperer of their group, but he didnât have to speak Glowtoad to know that the animals had been worrying about him.
Which they had no reason to do.
Really.
He was fine.
Sources, he sounded like Rayla. Now he understood why she kept things all bottled up; she didnât want to worry him, make him deal with her problems even though he wanted to. It was so different now that they were in the otherâs place.
âTheyâre good judges of character,â Rayla commented, fidgeting her fingers.
He crawled over to her on his stomach, propping his head up on one hand and using the other to fiddle with one of her tiny braids. âThat would explain why Stella loves you. And why they hang out with Ez all the time.â
She nodded absently, eyes glazing out of focus.
âWhatcha worrying about?â
âTomorrow. I know you are, too.â
âIâm trying not to think about it,â Callum admitted. âWe can only prepare so much before it becomes paranoia.â
âYou can never account for all the things that will go wrong,â Rayla argued. âRunaan-â She stopped, meeting his eyes as Callum fought to keep his expression kindly neutral. He wasnât exactly the fondest of Runaan, considering heâd killed Harrow and put it in Raylaâs head that she needed to sacrifice herself in order to be loved.
But Rayla loved him. That was enough for Callum to put his own ill will aside.
She looked away again. âRunaan always said that if something can go wrong, then it will. Anything you can think of can happen, so prepare for it and be ready.â
âRunaan also said that assassins are already dead. You look pretty alive to me.â Callum traced a finger along her jaw, and her eyes fluttered shut as she exhaled.
Rayla nodded in assent. âBut I also learned it for myself when I was gone. When I prepared, I walked away with fewer injuries. When I went with the flow, thingsâŚâ Her eyes dropped away, watching her fingernails pick at the wooden bench beneath her, âwent sideways a lot.â
Callum nodded. Rayla didnât talk much about those two years, but considering how little she slept, how often heâd awoken to find her quietly watching him in the night, her face glistening with sweat, and not to mention the scars and bruises heâd glimpsed, he could gather enough information about what it had been like.
âThere are two of us now,â he said, squeezing her hand and taking his time in locking their fingers together. Hers were small and cold, especially compared to his own, enveloping hers completely and filling him with the warm desire to protect her, to shield her from everything the world could throw at them. âYouâre not alone anymore, and you never will be. Ever again. Okay?â

DragonPrinceDrabbles is a bot-powered account that regularly posts randomized pairing prompts produced by a hand-made public TDP Prompt Generator.
The generator is there for you to play with as much as you like! Click it again and againâdon't worry, it won't wear out. It produces an infinite supply of deliciously weird prompts, such as:
Kim'dael + Finnegrin, Sink or Swim
Lujanne / Aaravos, Selfish
Ezran + Avizandum, Disgust
Stella + Ava, Competitive
Corvus / Terry, Tongue-in-cheek
Aaravos + Rayla, Wakeup Call
Claudia + Opeli, Primal Stone
Viren/Amaya, Unwise
Kim'dael / Ziard, Hopeful
Avizandum + Aaravos, Head, Hand, and Heart
The Merciful One / Claudia, Insidious
Ezran + Queen Aditi, No Time Like The Present
The DragonPrinceDrabbles tumblr will post 3 random prompts per day, and also accept submissions of prompts made with the generator and fics (or art, or meta, or general screaming) based on prompts. Please see the pinned Rules post for how to submit!
(Plot twist: there aren't really any rules, unless you want to submit something, in which case there are a couple rules.)

Rayllum - Moon and Sky
For #rayllum month 2024, last day: "You're the moon in my sky"
I decided to write a poem about Rayllum entitled "Moon and Sky". :3 You can listen to it above and read below.
I decided to post a day early, because I think by tomorrow no one will be in control of their brain any more.xD
âď˝ĄË âď¸ Ë・â・Ëâ˝Ë・âMoon and Skyâď˝ĄË âď¸ Ë・â・Ëâ˝Ë・â
She is the moon
and he is the sky.
He holds her steadily,
but with all the space that she needs.
She lights him up,
creating a bright path in his darkness.
Although she may hide,
and become a traveler cloaked in shadow -
she is never truly gone from him,
for he will always carry her.
Because she is the wind beneath his wings,
she makes his eyes sparkle
like moon opals on the ocean.
She rides on a silver barque
through a sea of clouds,
learning how to navigate
and staring in awe
at the stars in his soul.
Whether she is new,
or half,
or full -
Her love does not wane.
Whether he is cloudy,
or rainy,
or serene -
his love does not change.
They are bound
In a sacred dance,
ethereal and ancient;
moving together through all uncertainty,
for all eternity.
For their love is a gravity
beyond magic.
