sims 4 gameplay is so mid, but it sure is great for making my Shepherds (and they even live in Haven)

row one: Tysinno Maratis (he/him, hunter heritage and circle training, healer, Ayla romance) | Brygita Sinuraya (she/her, elf heritage and self taught, battle-mage, Shery romance) | Lyka Layosa (they/them, ket heritage and self taught, binder, Tallys romance)

row two: Odelina Payne-Isibis (she/her, norm heritage and apprenticed to Belnus Farplane, shifter, Briony romance) | Vincent Vircona (he/him, norm heritage and circle training, enchanter, Riel romance) | Elyon Rhuinae (she/her, elf heritage and circle training, diviner, Prihine romance)

row three: Fayne Uvana (xe/xem, norm heritage and self taught, wild-mage, Chase romance) | Seyda Moderni (they/he, ket heritage and circle training, elementalist, Red romance)

I'm gonna shove you into a locker and run into the sunset with a vaguely evil redhead

Scary Dog Privilege Blade this, Scary Dog Privilege Croelle that, what about Scary Dog Privilege Chase??? (inspired by this bit of dialogue) Chase Trinaeste belongs to @shepherds-of-haven

Also:

Chase 2 minutes after calling Niamh his wife:

#shepherds of haven #chase trinaeste #I spent so much time on this it was supposed to be a simple sketch idk #this was supposed to be my destress peice when I get frustrated with my Niamh headshot but it ended up making me angrier #anyways that line from Modern Family and the delivery was just so Chase to me #idk man after that third hangout too…. #the ‘she will show you mercy but I sure as fuck won’t’ is one of my FAVORITE TROPES IT MAKES ME FOAM AT THE MOUTH

"Are you alright?" the golden-haired Norm asked, a note of concern entering his voice. "You look like you just swallowed something awful." Thorne felt his smile freeze on his face. Slowly, under the gazes of the three Shepherds — Hael, of course they'd be Shepherds — he nodded, still smiling. "Yes, I'm doing wonderfully. My apologies — I think I had something in my throat." Thorne had never planned on joining the Shepherds.

(UNDER HEAVY REWRITES)

1 ✦ Demons. Awful for Business.

“Do you believe in free will?”

The question echoed in Thorne’s ears long after the red-haired man with the wide-brimmed hat had left, flicking a coin into his empty cup before he made his exit with a dramatic finality. He stared idly at the solitary cup, sitting only a table away — turning the previous conversation over and over in his head.

It was an intriguing question, he thought, settling back into his seat. His hand absently came up to finger the gleaming silver necklaces looped around his neck. Free will. Did he believe in free will? He had played along with Croelle, (Omens, his mind whispered, warnings and legends and gods), curious to see where the other man was going with his random approach of a stranger, but — he wasn’t sure. 

All he knew was this: as a Diminished stray who had had to survive by himself since his Wreath Day, free will had never been his to contemplate. He had laughed, and charmed, and manipulated, and slaughtered — all under the looming banner of survival. 

Could the sort of life he had led be the kind that had anything to do with “free will”?

He didn’t know. 

Still, the thought that everything in his life was predetermined… to put it nicely, it set him ill at ease. To put it bluntly, it pissed him off.

Faith was a shadow that he had turned his back on long ago. Whatever ‘path’ this so-called One-God had allegedly set out for him, Thorne had no interest in walking it. Just the thought left an acrid taste in his mouth. If not believing in free will meant believing in the One-God’s will, then, fine — he believed in free will.

And with his free will, Thorne had come to Haven with one mission: to find employment.

Not very glorious, but one does what one must. And what Thorne must do was find some sort of employment that involved more than wandering around the continent and picking up whatever jobs the day saw fit to throw his way — jobs of which were always a toss-up between the mundane and bizarre.

(He couldn’t count the amount of lost pets he’d had to find over the years. Once, he’d had to track down a family’s beloved pet pig after it fled deep into a forest. Needless to say, while he'd managed to rescue it, the massive wild cat that had also been tracking said pig hadn’t been very happy.)

Hello! Thank you very much for opening my fic :D This won't be a chapter by chapter retelling of SHOH, but more of a fic about Thorne's own experiences in Blest as himself , not as an OC limited by the (very understandable!!) narrative constraints of the game. There will be scenes that weren't directly addressed in the game like Thorne's initiation to the Shepherds, so there will be quite a lot of headcanon-ing going on! This is very much a passion project and something I'm writing for fun — Thorne Briers and the world of SHOH are both very dear to me, and I couldn't resist the urge any longer. I hope you have as much fun following the story as I do writing it!

This is an unpolished work; I'm still very new to writing. Hopefully I'll be able to improve my craft while writing this fic, and have fun doing it!

DISCLAIMER: The world and characters of "Shepherds of Haven" do not belong to me, but to Lena Nguyen. You can find her on Tumblr under the @ shepherds-of-haven. Thorne Briers is a character of my own creation, and the MC of this fic. Due to narrative reasons, there will be several lines lifted directly from the game (ex. when a canon character speaks). Please let me know if this is a concern!

#shepherds of haven #sdgjdg this was such fun to write but posting it makes me nervous #anyways #can you tell that i'm deep in the shoh pit #shoh #aspen writes.txt #my writing is sjdgdgjs it leaves much to be desired #but thank you for giving it a chance #if you do #thank you so much #i cannot stress how fun this was to write for me #i still have much to learn #but this was... fun. really fun. #anyways i love shoh <3 #oc: thorne

In an ideal world I could write one fic for every shepherd (+ croelle and smth platonic for Mimir?) but I can’t promise that bc the exertion of like. 13 fics in a row would cause me to keel over

#liya chats #I def need to get smth out for my favs #just don’t look at the 15+ pages of oc/canon hiding in my folder LOL

At this point it seems like Halek is a shoe-in 🥲 I wonder how many other Croelle lovers there are!

Now that he has a bigger role in the story (starting with Chapter [REDACTED]), feelings may change over time! 😉

[istanbulite]

actually i think my fictional ro type is > someone who wouldnt/ be unable to find someone else on their own, if not for the mc

example > Blade, Croelle if he becomes a ro (shoh), A or M (twc), Laurent (perfumare), possibly Orion and also Seven bc they r insane™ (Infamous)

#interactive fiction #xx #if they look like they can get w others ion want em #..opposite of rl sorta

I hate you. I hate you so much I can hardly breathe, with all that fills my thoughts is you. The light behind your eyes is where I drown, and there is nothing I can do. I’ve imagined your blood on my skin many times. Like a lamb led to slaughter… Stay away from me. Come back to me. I hate you. I love you. I want you. Kiss me. I will devour you. You’re mine.
