While hawks dance with cobras, falcons watch, and wait. Julian, a bored falcon prince, also has an eye turned to Wyvern's Court, but his gaze isn't for the wyvern princess. He watches Jenny, a simple sparrow, and her group of avian and serpiente friends, living out the true ideals of the Wyvern's Court, a blending of both sides. While the Empress watches and waits for the fledgling Court to fail, Julian decides to keep a little piece of this dream for himself.

Fic authors self rec!

When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞

Thank you for the tag @lord-aldhelm! ❤ I've been thinking about this for way too long, but I think I've finally picked five lol

Ivory Fanged (Hawksong/Kiesha'ra). So Hawksong is a YA novel about shapeshifters, where basically the hawk queen marries the snake king to end the generational war between their peoples. I inserted Rikki Tikki Tavi into the middle of that, so the hawk queen has to think extra hard about if she really wants to keep her promise now that she has legitimate, cobra-killing back up, and I also redeemed my favorite side character from a pointless canon death. This fic really was only supposed to be one chapter, but it became a lot more, and I love it. ❤️

Warrantable (SGA). This is part 2 of the "hart" series which is basically a single h/c fic told in 3 parts. Part 1 is the hurt, part 3 is the comfort, and part 2 here is my favorite part because it's the turn, where the two start to mingle.

A Dram of Sweet Is Worth a Pound of Sorrow (SGA). One of my driving forces in the "my name forevermore" series, as soon as I figured out the plot of "Nemo," was getting "Michael" the time and space to work through enough of his baggage to get a "happy" ending, so I have a lot of personal attachment to this fic.

With True Love and Brotherhood (SGA). I feel like this story encapsulates a lot of the themes I tend to explore in my fics but in a smaller, more contained story than the ones that end up becoming sprawling series.

Your Prison is Walking through This World All Alone (Marvel). As done as I am with the mcu this fic still contains so many of the things I loved about marvel: frostiron, Thor & Loki being bros, Storm: goddess and queen, Nightcrawler cameos, Bruce being rumpled, and my own specific take on the White Phoenix of the Crown based on a single panel of a comic I read 20 years ago.

The amazingly talented kaykistar on Instagram drew this scene from my current WIP “An Angel’s Hope”. I am absolutely in love with it!!! The feathers in Aziraphale’s hair, the starlight on his wings, ugh <3 I love it so much.

Please go and check out some of their other works! Their art style is so soothing and wholesome <3 I’m a huge fan!

https://www.instagram.com/kaykistar/

Read below the cut-off for an excerpt from this scene!

Who was this boy? Why was he out here on his own? Did he have a family back home that was fearing the worst had happened to him? When he didn’t come home, who would come looking for him? Was there anyone left in his world that cared he was gone?

Aziraphale reached for him in that moment, gently pulling the arrow from the boy’s stomach before lowering him down until he was horizontal on the cool grass beneath them. There was no reaction. No cry of pain, no flutter of his eyelids. Nothing. Slowly, the Avian settled into a kneeling position, resting the serpent’s head on his lap, his red curls splaying out around him like a halo.

What did he do now? There was no point in talking to the serpent. He was unconscious, so it would hardly do any good. Did Aziraphale just sit here and wait in silence until the boy died? That hardly seemed right. He may be the enemy, but this boy was also an innocent. He wasn’t a soldier. He’d done nothing wrong.

He didn’t deserve to die like this.

The tears continued to spill down his cheeks, striking the grassy field below him. Not knowing what to do with his trembling hands, Aziraphale placed them lightly on top of the serpent’s head, gently stroking the strands of fiery curls as he fought to regain control over his breaths.

Aziraphale needed something calming, not for the boy who lay dying in his lap, but for himself, so he did not fall to pieces. Something that would focus his mind, ease his pain, if only for a little while.

The song rose up within him before he even realized he was singing it. He knew the tune like the back of his hand, the words by memory. This song had been one his mother used to sing to him every night as he’d fallen asleep all those years ago, before his heart had been broken into a million tiny pieces. Before he’d lost her and his father to the never-ending fighting.

I wish to you sunshine, my dear one, my dear one And treetops for you to soar past. I wish to you innocence, my child, my child I pray you don’t grow up too fast.

Never know pain, my dear one, my dear one Nor hunger nor fear nor sorrow. Never know war, my child, my child Remember your hope for tomorrow.

My prayer is simple, my dear one, my dear one May you never need understand My prayer is for peacetime, my child, my child Live it well, and this life can be grand.

Aziraphale sang that song over and over. He sang until his tears had dried and his throat was sore. He sang until his hands stopped shaking and his words grew more steady.

He sang until the sun began to peek over the horizon, bringing with it the hope of a new day. The boy’s breath had evened out sometime during the night as Aziraphale had sung to him and ran his fingers through the soft red curls. They were even more vibrant now underneath the morning light. Aziraphale had never seen anything like them before.

Avians had the predisposition for darker hair color, to reflect the coloring of their second form - black for ravens and crows, a mousy brown for sparrows and several other smaller birds. Even the hawks - the royalty in their culture - had lighter, honey brown hair. Out of everyone he knew, Aziraphale’s appearance was the most striking. Blue eyes were often a sign of the Serpiente, who were all born with eyes like gemstones. He had never seen a serpent’s gaze before, but Aziraphale had heard the stories, how an Avian could get lost in eyes as brilliant as those. Stunned into inaction, giving the serpents time to strike.

What color eyes did this boy have? Certainly not garnet, the color of the Serpiente royal family. Perhaps a brilliant sapphire, or maybe emerald. Aziraphale’s song stopped as he looked at the boy’s face in the dawning light. Some color had returned to his cheeks, filling them with an endearing rosy color.

Suddenly, the boy shifted. Aziraphale froze, watching with wide blue eyes as sunlight spilled over the trees behind him, casting a shadow across the boy’s face. In an instant, the Avian had shifted into his demi form, white wings splayed out behind him in case he needed to make a quick escape.

He only prayed they were still the only two here.

Aziraphale’s breath caught in his throat as the boy’s eyes fluttered open. He watched as eyes the color of rich honey met his and the Avian finally understood the legends. He was trapped in that gaze, captivated by its beauty, unable to look away or flee or do anything to defend himself. He was completely at this boy’s mercy.

“‘M I dead? Are you…an angel…?” the boy murmured, closing his eyes against the bright sunlight as it shone above them. Aziraphale felt the spell over him break and he took his opportunity.

In an instant he had slipped out from under the serpent’s head, transformed into his dove form and took to the skies without a second glance back, leaving the serpent boy behind to face his fate alone.

despite everything, the kiesha'ra series still pops off

[fanoftheages]

“Pay attention,” Urban snapped. “At this rate, you won’t learn to dance until I’m old and gray. You’ll have to perform for me on my deathbed. And I’ll probably still be better than you.”

Marus huffed, but followed Urban’s instruction. “You know, there are some things people just can’t learn.”

Urban’s eyes glowed at the challenge. “Don’t underestimate me, Mar. Here—you’re mixing up the steps.”

Surprising

[braver-stronger-smarter]

This reminds me, I'm overdue for an update to "An Angel's Hope". Why must life be so busy? I'll shall see what I can get done this weekend! Thanks for the rec! So glad you're enjoying it :) I promise, I'm still working on it!

A new book means time for a new post, I think!

My Kiesha’ra fanfiction Crowform follows the narrative of Hawksong and Snakecharm by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes (with a few minor changes coming up in Snakecharm) from the point of view of the character known as Andreios.

Heads up - this fic has MAJOR spoilers for Snakecharm. Chapter 18 of the fic - which picks up where Snakecharm begins - is up now!

The Peace of Wild Things - A SoMA HawkSong AU

Maka Albarn is the last remaining heir of her people, a race of avian shapeshifters who have been at war with the serpiente for so long that the reason for fighting has long been lost. She is desperate to save her people and end the bloodshed, and is willing to do whatever it takes to do so - even if it means accepting Soul Evans, the leader of her people’s enemy, as her pair bond. However, there are forces within both courts determined to prevent peace at all costs. Meanwhile, both heirs begin to learn that the other is not the enemy they once thought they knew, and begin to find friendship and even love with the other.

Hey all! This is my first piece for the 2018 Resbang event, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with the wonderful @fullmetalgrigori!! FMG is AMAZING, and totally got me addicted to this AU! You were amazing to work with too! <3 The other awesome artist that got to work with FMG was @peregr1ne, you should totally go check out their amazing artworks for this story as well! They’re BEAUTIFUL!

I loved this AU so much, I actually went out and bought the whole series of books to read! I am LOVING The Kiesha'ra Series, but because I’ve been so busy the last few months, I’m still only on the first book, Hawksong, haha!

Again, a huge shout out to @fullmetalgrigori and @peregr1ne for letting me work with them on this project! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH! And a huge thanks to the @resbangmod for putting the whole thing together!

You can find FMG’s fic HERE!! GO READ IT! IT. IS. AWESOME!

Lyss’s offerings:

Lyss Auction #1

Type of fanwork: fanfiction Subtype(s): N/A Fandom(s): Harry Potter, Den of Shadows (Amelia Atwater-Rhodes), Kiesha'Ra (Amelia Atwater-Rhodes) Highest rating creator will work with: E (explicit) Length: 5 -10k words Especially interested in: In Harry Potter, I usually focus on the Marauders, both in the first and second war eras. I have a special love for Remus Lupin, Teddy Lupin, and for the Black brothers and their relationship. Pairings I enjoy are Sirius/Remus and Remus/Tonks, James/Lily, and Regulus/canon OtP member (past) or canon DE of any gender. I enjoy themes such as betrayal, sibling rivalry, difficult family dynamics, unexpected or forbidden love, the strength of friendship and family, slipping sanity, unreliable narrators, and the idea that war is tragic whether victorious or not. In Kiesha'Ra, I have an obsession with the Cobriana family, particularly Anjay, Zane, and Salem. I support all canon pairings as well as Urban/Marus and am willing to play with some non-canon. I am interested in the the Cobriana family in the days when they were complete and whole--how did they all get along?, Anjay's time in Ahnmik, the friendship between Zane and Andreios, and the unique relationship between Salem and Hai. Unwilling to address: I tend to steer clear of the Trio and co as we already know seven years of their lives--I don't see much wiggle room in that to pique my creativity. I am not willing to address any pedophilia pairings such as Sirius/Hermione, Snape/Hermione, Snape/Harry, etc. Although it is canon and I have nothing against it, I also have no real interest in Teddy/Victiore. While smut may be alluded to or creep into a fic featuring a pairing, I no longer write fics that are purely smut. Notes: If you have an idea that isn't expressly mentioned either in my likes or dislikes, please feel free to email me.

Thanks for checking! I guess I know what my next project will be :)

Has anyone seen any crossovers between Good Omens and the Kiesha'ra series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes? Those were a set of books I read many years ago about Avian and Serpentine shapeshifters locked in a thousand year war. My brain suddenly made the connection between the two books today (Crowley being able to turn into a snake and the whole desired war between Heaven and Hell) and I need this kind of story in my life. If no one has seen anything like it, I guess I'll have to write it myself :)

hey there!

after searching those up on ao3, i haven’t seen any that mention them both, unfortunately :(

[raevenlywrites]

Raev's Fic Masterlist

Since tumblr can be a little allergic to links, I thought I'd take a second to ramble about all the various little (and not so little) fics I have up on Ao3

Den of Shadows

Jaguar's Midnight: Currently a single chapter of me exploring ideas of a Midnight that is more blatantly BDSM and less human trafficking. Maybe more to come? Who knows

Unpublished Turquoise thing about her time with Daryl (pester me about if it you're interested)

Hawksong/Kiesha'ra

Ties that Bind (ongoing, 30 chps) A queer, polyamorous, Romeo and Juliet with shapeshifters set on a backdrop of the first tentative peace in a thousand year war. Canon's hotter cousin. Not currently explicit but plans to potentially get there

Frayed Knots (ongoing, 20 chps) The place where all the scenes I thought would go in TTB but didn't wind up. Some one offs, some deleted scenes. A mixed bag of spicy adult stuff and just fun character exploration. Iirc spicy chapters are marked as such

Dasi High (abandoned, 4 chps) Highschool AU of Maeve and Kiesha and Co, if their story was on the CW

Forbidden Skies (hiatus, 2 chps) Crossover with Forbidden Game. Julian is a falcon and Jenny and co are avians and serpiente. Basically FB's chars and plot cosplaying as K'r

Forbidden Game

Forbidden Skies, see above

Holy Fire (one off) A sort of song fic where Zach thinks way too hard about Jenny and tries to become a magician

Hearts Desires (ongoing, 2 chps) Still playing with Zach the magician, this one is meant to be a fairly short exploration of magic/runes, Zach's obsession with Jenny, his inability to readjust after the game, and coming out to himself. And tree sex. It's a weird one.

Unpublished pre-canon Jenny thing where she's kind of aware of something (Julian) watching her at night (spicy, pester me about it if you're interested)

Longer descriptions under the cut

Ties that Bind: A queer, polyamorous, Romeo and Juliet with shapeshifters set on a backdrop of the first tentative peace in a thousand year war. Anticipated f/f, m/m, and many other shapes of m/f/m and/or f/m/f, potentially kinky if I ever get it there. Also potentially ace/qpr stuff if I can ever figure out my MC and what is true in this fic vs what belongs in side projects. Canon's hotter cousin with more magic, more setting development, A LOT more romance, and a distant relation to the original in the way that Vaporeon resembles Eevee. It wants to still fit in canon's clothes but really needs to admit its grown too big for that.

This is the big one. I realized revisiting my favorite childhood series that the big epic romance I always remembered was mostly in my head. So I decided to get it out of my head and onto paper. That is... not what happened XD It follows the basic Romeo/Julietness of Hawksong, but I decided to really explore the world and characters and so made a lot of executive decisions bc there actually isn't that much about the world/characters in the original. It's diverged wildly, spiraled out of control into a 30+ chapters novel (lets be honest) and isn't ending any time soon. It's the one I most want to work on so send me asks and encouragement about it so I can get working on it again :P

Basically, Zane and Danica are still deeply dedicated to peace. They think the idea of getting married to achieve it is ridiculous, but they're desperate enough to keep it on the back burner. Dani gets to know Zane (and Adelina) as friends. She explores her relationship with Rei. She struggles with bureaucracy and a well-meaning mother that doesn't always support her in the way she needs. Also there's a bit more magic, a lot more setting, and a bunch of characters I kinda made up to help flesh things out (hello Vasili's made up cousin). Current plans include finishing it with some sort of marriage, but I haven't decided if Zanica is endgame or not (the dynamic currently in the lead in my head is Dani takes Adelina as her Alistair, Zane takes Rei as his Nag, and the four of them all kinda co-rule. We'll see. Everyone is going to kiss everyone else before its done that's for sure)

Frayed Knots (ongoing, 20 chps) The place where all the scenes I thought would go in TTB but didn't wind up. Some one offs, some deleted scenes. A mixed bag of spicy adult stuff and just fun character exploration. Iirc spicy chapters are marked as such Current offerings include: abandoned TTB starts, some BDSM scenes with Z/D/R/A, Dani getting herself off and thinking too hard, an alternative Snakecharm opening from Kel's POV, some Oliza stuff, some Marus/Urban stuff, and some Dasi High stuff. Really, Frayed Knots is a great place to start if you wanna read TTB but are kind of intimidated by its scope. Most FK entries are 1-3 chapters. A sampler platter of my nonsense basically :P

Dasi High (abandoned, 4 chps) Kiesha and Co Highschool AU, basically what if the Dasi was a show on the CW. A fun idea, but not actually my cup of tea. Would probably be more fun to ramble about in discord than actually write

Forbidden Skies (hiatus, 2 chps) Crossover with Forbidden Game. Julian is a falcon and Jenny and co are avians and serpiente. Basically FB's chars and plot cosplaying as K'r. I really loved the idea, but I don't know if it grabbed me enough to make want to wrestle it into submission like I do TTB. With TTB, I don't know the story yet, so I can trick myself into working on it bc I wanna know what happens. With FS, I know what my intended plot will be, so this one would need a lot of outside hype to get me working on it again. But I think it could be really really cool if I did. If this crossover sounds like your cup of tea, pester me for more

Forbidden Game

Forbidden Skies, see above

Holy Fire (one off, post canon what if) A sort of song fic where Zach thinks way too hard about Jenny and tries to become a magician. I have these ideas about Jenny half light faerie, hence Julians obsession with her. In this fic, Zach is trying to learn magic to protect Julian so FB doesn't happen again. He winds up getting the attention of a light faerie, who tasks him with being Jenny's knight until they're ready to come bring her home. Basically, the song Holy Fire by Seeming wouldn't leave me alone one day and this fell out.

Hearts Desires (ongoing, 2 chps, post canon what if) Still playing with Zach the magician, this one is meant to be a fairly short exploration of magic/runes, Zach's obsession with Jenny, his inability to readjust after the game, and coming out to himself. And tree sex. It's a weird one. Basically, I woke up one morning with the ending of it circling around in my head, wrote that, and am now trying to build up the beginning so the ending has anything to jump off of for impact.

Unpublished pre-canon Jenny thing where she's kind of aware of something (Julian) watching her at night (spicy, pester me about it if you're interested) This one I do have plans to publish, I just need to get it (and myself) ready to show to the world. It asks the question "What if Jenny kinda like the idea of feeling watched all the time and deliberately got off for her imagined (or so she thinks) Shadowman?"

[bagheerita]

Thanks @chaniis-atlantis for the tag!! ❤

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

currently 66 though next month I'm hoping to have time to finish transferring over the rest of my old fics from FFN

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

1,495,124

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, Stargate Atlantis previously (deep breath): Star Wars (OT & the novels that are now called Legends [I think]), X-Men, Kiesha'ra, Valdemar, Pet Shop of Horrors, Fruits Basket, Inuyasha, Saiyuki, MCU/Avengers, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Angel the series, The Last Unicorn, Lord of the Rings, Dead Poet's Society, Homer, Gargoyles

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1- "Nemo" (SGA) 2- "Nykteridolotry" (SGA) 3- "One and One and One is Three" (MCU) 4- "Regina Donum" (SGA) 5- "Your Prison is Walking Through This World All Alone" (MCU)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I've met some great people through comment discussions. 😁 Probably the only time I don't is when someone comments on multiple chapters at a time on their read-through; in those cases I tend to only respond to the comments that I find the most interesting rather than to all of them, though it depends on my mood.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Um probably "Beast of Venery" (SGA) though it is part 1 of a series that ends much more happily. Oh! I forgot about "Lie Still" (AtS)! It's a character profile of Wesley Wyndham-Price that literally no one has read (the only fic of mine at FFN that has 0 interactions). Very angsty, and probably very "in my own head" which is why no one else liked it lol.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I am an absolute sucker for happy endings, so this is like choosing... i dunno, a best flavor of ice cream. They're all happy. I might say "Ivory Fanged" (Kiesha'ra) is the "happiest"? Or maybe "One and One and One is Three" (MCU)? Just because the first involves 2 kingdoms worth of people celebrating, and the second like 5 realities/multiverses of people being (relatively) happy at the end.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really? I do get weird comments sometimes. I got a comment on "Reunion" (IY) where the reader complained about the story being unfinished (when it was clearly marked that it was unfinished/abandoned) and that it had ruined the series to finish it on that note. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

lol. Yes. A lot. Mostly m/m, though I've occasionally branched out into m/m/m, m/m/m/m, and f/m. As far as kinks or types of smut, I honestly don't think I could remember all the scenes I've written, though I love power dynamics so I play with that a lot. And I've written both rape and incest, if by "kind" you mean the stuff that really gets people hot and bothered.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

LMAO. Crossovers are the reason I write fic in the first place. My favorite characters meeting each other is like... the shit. The craziest one (that ever made it to being partially posted anyway) was called "Twenty-Four Hours of Midnight," and was a crossover between The Three Musketeers, Dragonheart, X-Men, and Angel the series.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No. I don't think so? But that would be awesome.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No, but sortof? Eos (Eos_x) did illustrations for my fic "Aubade" so we are credited as co-authors.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I don't know if I can answer this. I ship whatever smashing together of my favorite characters works for me at the moment, and I have a lot of favorite characters. And do you mean to read, or to write? Conceptually, in my head? Or best execution, either in fic or canon? Because I feel like these would all be different answers for me...

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I have a fic currently working-titled "Though Far Away, We're Still the Same" which is a multiverse John/Todd/Rodney fic. I realized I wanted to change the arc of an OC, which will require rewriting the whole thing, and I'm realistically never going to have time for that.

16. What are your writing strengths?

For 3 fandoms now I've written snarky asshole/ancient villain as a ship, and I think I've gotten pretty good at the dynamic lol. I'm pretty good at dialogue I think, and while it's a bitch to write it I'm pretty good at action (as far as making everything make sense spatially).

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Conflict. Usually I start writing a story knowing how the conflict will be resolved and then I lose all interest in it and have to keep reminding myself that the characters are still in it, they don't have resolution yet.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Author's discretion (because you write fic for you) but in general I don't care for reading it unless it's short endearments, non-plot relevant, or well known information. (Or the meaning gets otherwise explained in the surrounding text.) I never liked it in old books where the author will just throw in lines of French or Latin and expect you to know what it means. I think it pulls the reader out of the story, so I don't recommend it unless that's your intention. If you have two characters who are speaking a foreign language to each other, fully understanding each other, you should write the dialogue in the same language as the fic (because in the reality of the fic, everything is happening in that same language, if that makes sense). Though there are definitely some concepts that don't translate well; when I was writing a lot of anime fic I experimented by having one fandom where I stripped out all the Japanese honorifics and one where I kept them in, and I feel like it gives a different vibe to the fic. I've recently been reading a lot of Mandalorian adjacent Star Wars fics and I have to say I do not care for uses of excessive amounts of Mando'a. A few endearments, concepts that are very common knowledge, fine. But whole sentences? It better not be anything I needed to know for the plot because I am not looking that up. (lol I did not expect to have such opinions on this topic 🤣)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

OT Star Wars. First posted fic was "The Secret Life of Harrison Ford." Don't read it, it's not good. (Unless you like the same high school humor that me and my high school friends did?)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Technically, this is a fic that isn't posted yet, but it's 90% written so it counts... lol. It's called "Circumvolution" (SGA) and I've been writing it in the background over the last few years whenever "Regina Donum" started giving me fits, so it's very much a work of love and a story I wrote for me. It was originally conceived as the ending of the "My Name Forevermore" series, but it's done (mostly), so I've moved it to be the next big fic I post after I finish "Regina Donum."

i hope its okay to send more than one number, but for the salty ask meme: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 14, 26, 27

UR ALL GOOD1. What otps in your fandom do you just not get?I mean......so many? ? I'm currently playing dragon age so I'll go with alistair/Leliana like........she's fond of him in canon but I just. Like she sorta babies him? I don't understand why people like that. I can see her fooling herself into thinking that The Proper THing For Her but I can't see him being cool with it. For kiesha'ra, since we're both in that, I'm gonna be 100% real and say I don't understand irene/danica? It's not that I hate it! I just. Don't get it. 2. Are there any popular OTPs that you only BROtp?Clintasha is a big one. Wooden Swan from ouat altho I guess I see the appeal. Scott/Lydia from Teen Wolf. Romantic Hermione/Harry is the bane of my existence.4. Do you have a NOtp in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?YES OH KY GOD. Klaine, Maxanor, Swan Queen, Alistair/Cousland are the first that come to mind and they're all popular and I can't escape them.5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?Yeah. The most recent is SilverFlint from Black Sails bc a lot of the fic was really racist towards Madi. Bellarke from the 100 altho that was both fandom and canon. Same with Cl.xa, like I can appreciate a good fucked up dynamic (hello Padme/Anakin) but the source material needs to acknowledge it's fucked up and fandom generally needs to as well and neither did for either of those so I tapped out.7. Is there anything you used to like but can't stand now?Black Sails. Teen Wolf. The 100. Game of Thrones (show, atho I wouldn't pass up a chance to punch grrm in the face). Umm. I have Complicated FEELINGS about the hunger games books. Divergent. Probabaly more.14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?I mean.....where do I begin. Fandom needs to hop off Cullen's genocidal dick, Derek hale is interesting but a mess and Scott did nothing wrong, Dany is boring and her relationship with Jon snow is Not Good, the kiesha'ra characters are all poc and should be portrayed as such. ....list goes on and on. 26. Most shippable character? Honestly I ship Scott McCall with like 99% of the people he meets. I have a lot of Steve Rogers ships. And Martha Jones. And Piper McLean. 27. Least shippable character? See its not that I don't like Ned Stark and Catelyn Tully, it's that I do not ship them with anyone but each other. Also Cullen fuck that dude.

Oh goodness! I'm so sorry anon. Tumblr never sent me a notification for this and I just now saw it. To make up for the wait, here's a whole paragraph from the chapter I plan to post later today. I hope you enjoy!

"I won't pretend to tell you it will be easy. I can't promise there aren't challenges still left to face. But I can promise you that I will keep you safe through both the calm and through the storm. If you will let me."
