There is a painful drought of chassar fan fics and it’s killing me. like other that the entire;

Ead: I don’t want to be exiled to the middle of nowhere where I will be entirely alone after just being alone in a foreign country where I can’t truly be my self with anyone for fear of being BURNED ALIVE for eight years

Chassar:

…

damn that sucks but hey! *finger guns* you could always pop out a kid for us and then we’ll send your sister instead :D

He was one of my favourite characters and if I can’t find any cute fluff of him being a dad to ead or possibly him and zāla I will be FORCED to write it myself

[cold-sinigang]

I am so relieved about the governing state of Seiiki ending with Nikeya at the helm, neither as a Noziken or a Kuposa.

Imagine if the responsibility fell on Dumai. Just imagine her checklist:

run a country

produce an heir

battle it with the River Lord

The torture is double because you see... if Dumai succeeds in all this, it could mean the end for Nikeya. Justice found dead in the ditch. lol

So glad this Noziken v Kuposa sht is done and over.

Smoke hung so thick in the library’s rafters that she could read words in it.

It was a thought she wouldn’t have humoured a mere few months ago. The Queen of Virtudom should never be so fanciful, and certainly not entertain thoughts of sorcery. But then, much had changed in those few months, and Sabran supposed that this heretical fancy of hers reflected her new position as a non-believer. A non-believer of the religion her own distant grandsire had founded upon untruths.

But she could read words in it.

The thick smoke curled and flashed with shocks of orange flame, roiling against the charred rafters which bore the library’s roof. A skeleton layered with flaking flesh trembling in its efforts to protect the life blood of its books.

Roslain would not condone these maudlin thoughts. Those sure signs of grievoushead which so afflicted her Queen never escaped her sharp eye. Perhaps it was this affliction which rooted her deep in the rug underfoot. A crack sounded above her head, but she could not see the break beyond the unforgiving smoke.

But she could read words in it.

‘I find myself in want of your counsel…’ licked the polished bookcase by the door.

‘It is my hope that this letter reaches you before the worst of the Inyscan winter…’ splintered an arched brace jutting from the wall.

‘Often, when a Western wind blows through the forests, the scent of roses settles heavily in my throat…” tore through the heavy curtains in a rage.

A parcel of letters lay aflame.

summary: “Ead cannot stop thinking about Sabran, and worries it will consume her.”

tags: ead x sabran, self-doubt, yearning, self-doubt, balcony scene (the gazing at the horizon yearning for your lover type of balcony scene)

word count: 820

———

Ead was weary. The day’s weight pressed upon her shoulders as if she was carrying all of the world on her back. She entered the bathhouse and stepped into the steaming water. The dirt and exhaustion of today drifted away as she washed it from her skin, the task giving her a temporary distraction, but as soon as her skin had been scrubbed of filth and she sank into the comfort of the steaming bath, her mind wandered.

While it had never been Ead’s ambition to become Prioress—none of the sisters dared dream of it—she found that the position fulfilled some kind of longing in being. It filled her with determination, love, passion. It wasn’t necessarily the power that came with it, but rather the ability, the idea that she was doing something good, that she was helping the world and defending its inhabitants. She had never felt as close to the Priory as she felt now. She was an incarnation of siden; warm with determination and passion to protect, ablaze with the fire of devotion.

Her home had always been and would always be the Priory. It was part of her, of all of her being, heart and soul. But however much she adored it, there was always this ache in her chest, a gaping hole in her heart—a hole of longing. She yearned for Sabran. For her lips on hers, soft and gentle like rose petals. Her eyes, emeralds in winter’s snow, gazing into hers, shining with affection like a new lover’s, glittering in the moonlight. She longed for her passion, her intensity and desire, setting her skin aflame. She longed for her comfort, the warmth of her love warming her heart like not even the sun could.

Most of all, she longed for her.

It shouldn’t consume her the way it did. Ead tried to keep her composure, tried to hide it. After all, what kind of message would it send to the other sisters? She should be a beacon of piety, but she felt far from it. Nairuj had assured that she was (while Ead hadn’t confided in her, she had always been skilled at reading people), but Ead felt like she was dancing on a knife’s edge. She had to keep her balance, otherwise she would fall and one of the two would consume her entirely.

But by expressing her doubts, would that mean she implied Nairuj was lying?

Ead shook off her thoughts. She should not be asking herself such questions. She rose from the water. Drying her skin, she grabbed her robe and loosely fastened it around her waist.

In her chamber, she stepped onto the balcony. Her hands resting on the skilfully crafted railing, she gazed out over the Priory. Emotions always bubbled under the surface of her mind, but this place had a way to bring them out, as if placing them above a fire.

Be calm now, Ead thought as she absentmindedly tapped the railing. But her mind did not stay quiet. Once again, thoughts flooded her mind like a cruel wave. She sighed as she once again remembered the feeling of Sabran’s lips on hers. It both seemed like yesterday and like an era ago.

She thought of Sabran’s embrace, of her presence, of her comforting Ead and Ead comforting her. Neither of their positions was easy, but they had found reassurance in one another. Ead missed their conversations, their remarks and playful insults. But most of all, she missed their love and friendship; she missed everything. She missed all of Sabran.

“You know you should not be overthinking.”

Ead turned her head, the corner of her mouth curving upwards as she saw who it was. “Nairuj.”

Nairuj gestured to the space beside Ead. “Can I-”

“Feel free to.”

Nairuj took place, feet gliding lightly over the stone of the balcony. “Are you thinking too much again?”

Ead’s eyes glinted. “When have I ever?”

Nairuj had become one of Ead’s most trusted acquaintances at the Priory. She was capable, honest and skilful, and had easily made peace with Ead’s wish to become Prioress. While Ead still had trouble figuring her out, she knew her intentions were pure, and she would make a great friend.

Nairuj smiled slightly as she absently slid her hand across the railing, her eyes surveying the scene below. “Can I think with you?”

“You would be most welcome to.”

And there they stood in peaceful silence, the only sounds the Wail of Galian clattering and birds singing in the distance as their thoughts were carried away by the wind. Nairuj was lost in her own thoughts, and Ead was lost in hers. They looked as the sun rose and streaked the sky, painting the landscape with dancing morning light.

Ten years, Ead reminded herself as she gazed at the horizon, and not one sunrise more.

And she would wait until that final sunrise.

[i-am-robie]

hi robie :) i remember you saying that you were afraid that your whms au was too slow of a slow burn. well! i recently read tpotot, that book all the supercorps are constantly raving about, and ……. that slow burn [wipes sweat off brow] ….. robie, it takes them a solid 300k to get together, and i Loved it. i was here for every second of it, just like i was here for every second of your fic.

so like moral of the story here - whms is not “too slow”, it was perfect and i loved it. and generally, for us gays?? “too slow” simply does not exist 😌

god I loved Priory so much—and you’re right: now *that* is a slow burn lol, but a masterful one for sure!!

this is a such a lovely thing to hear, too. I’m trying really hard to let go of the feedback I got from the few folks who felt like they didn’t get what they wanted out of WHMS au and not let it put me off writing symphony au, because that’s also gonna be a slow burn if I get the courage/energy to finish it!

[littlemousejelly]

1) most of the time my tags are just me being whore knee because most of the time me is whore knee lmao i’m so glad you enjoy the chaos! and

A New Path to Walk

by cosysocks

‘Like squires to knights,’ Canthe said, nodding. ‘Is it possible to change paths?’

‘In certain circumstances.’ Tunuva picked up a wooden doll and returned it to the chest of toys. ‘One of my brothers was raised as a warrior, but later, he knew he belonged with the men.’

It is far from unheard of for a sibling of the Priory to change the path they were born into. But when a new sister has to learn the ways of war without the prior decade of practice her sisters have, her transition is not always smooth. As is the case for Agriya.

Most wyverns slumber now the long haired star has passed, but in the years since a few hungry and desperate ones have awoken to spread terror. Every sister must do her part to fulfil the Priory’s new purpose, and in doing so earn their red cloak. Even Agriya, who will do anything to prove her worth.

[battlestar-royco]

I’m the anon who’s ask got eaten. I was saying that a lot of the time mlm are written by and for straight women and actual gay people never get to tell their stories. Their voices are erased, especially people of color who are just tokenized and fetishized for straight white consumption. There was this thing on book twitter the other day about a straight white writer getting to write the FinnPoe book to uproarious support while #ownvoices books go ignored.

Thanks for coming back. This automatically makes me think of C///aptive P///rince (though I think that author might be bi?). This also reminds me, I’ve rarely talked about the fandom research I did back in May. My findings were exactly in line with what you’re saying---that QPOC and basically any characters or ships aside from cis white guys get exponentially less support and attention in fandoms.

I personally have noticed that even when I see queer women in and outside of fandom writing LGBTQ characters, it’s majority white gay men. That is definitely changing, thank goodness, especially with stuff like TPoToT and GtN (still white women writing). And I hope that doesn’t come off as me downplaying the very consistent and robust wlw creators who’ve been writing fic and making fan art/edits for years on my dash. But it’s still clear as ever that given a white m/m pairing, a fandom loses their shit and the content is often made and consumed by/for an audience that is not necessarily represented by the pairing. Not to mention that in the rare case that a mlmoc pairing does blow up, the fandom is full of racism (ie Finnpoe---not only does the white writer get to write the book, but also the fics are disastrously stuffed with racist stereotypes about both black and Latine men).

Favorite color: Sunshine yellow

currently reading: I finished The Priory Of The Orange Tree a few (five) weeks ago and haven’t read any books since then.

everyone should read TPOTOT though because it was SO GOOD, it was over 800 pages and i read it in three and a half days

Last song: Summer Child by Conan Gray

Last Series: That I finished? I’m..... not sure, it’s been awhile, but my most recent show I watched any of was Supergirl (arrowverse) 

Last Movie: Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 

Currently working on: nothing. I started outlining a few (eight) fuffy fics but I didn’t get very far, I started writing two of them. One of them was so bad I don’t even want to think about it but one of them is... mediocre. Maybe i’ll finish it one day? Probably not.

Hmm.... some of these are good ideas. We’ll see.

There was also that one SG fic.... that i never finished editing. I forgot about that one too.

Tag nine people: I’ll tag as many as I can, I do not have enough mutuals for nine. Sorry if someone already tagged you or you already did it. @faith-thee-slayer @5bi5 @think-im-kind-of-gay @scribblemoth @shittinggold @getawaylicense @flyingpotstickers @nightcorecarseatheadrest 

That’s as many as I have who weren’t tagged in the one I was tagged in I think?

'There was old lore of the equinoxes heralding change, or amplifying an already changeable nature. Every Inysh citizen knew the Berethnet Queens were subject to periods of darkness, and perhaps it was that susceptibility, or the Queen’s grief which had put these ideas into her head.'

Ours to Cherish

by silasfinch

Tunuva Melim came close to losing everything, including her beloved Esbar. Tuva weaves their relationship back together as everyone works to heal the scars in the Priory of The Orange Tree. Courting your lover of 30 years may seem unconventional but it feels like the noblest pursuit as they inhabit new roles and responsibilities.

"I am contemplating the best ways to woo the new Prioress of the Orange Tree, there are many demands on her time, but I am confident of success," Tuva explains while holding out her arms.

"An unusual occupation for somebody that won that battle, such as it was, 30 years ago. Surely, there is a more practical use for your many and varied skills, Tunuva Melim." Esbar challenges as she pulls her into a firm embrace.

"We came too close to losing each other; even the hint of that trouble chills me to the bone, almost as much as Carthe's efforts to find the stone while disturbing Cleoland's remains. Both aspects are as fundamental to who I am, Esbar. " Tuva whispers fiercely when they pull back.
