Another ADSOM AU Idea

Okay, consider... an ADSOM Vampire AU where Antari can become vampires if they’re mistreated or exploited for their magic too much. A sort of “take back what they take from you” transformation caused either by the Worlds’ inherent magic or being a natural transformation that occurs when Antari are pushed to their absolute limit physically or mentally (especially if it’s through exsanguination). Bonus points if it’s Osaron’s arrival triggers the change.

#IDK I like the idea of there being big magical consequences to treating the antari badly #If they're basically magical demigods something is going to notice #But also just... Kell Lila and Holland with fangs #And vampire king Osaron #It could be so fun #adsom #a darker shade of magic #shades of magic #ve schwab #kell maresh #holland vosijk #lila bard #adsom vampire au #adsom au #The Danes of course trigger Holland #Kell ends up getting force transformed by Osaron? Maybe? #He wouldnt like the Maresh family dynamics #And Lila would probably turn at some point due to magic's indignance at how she's been treated growing up #Magic being possessive AND protective is my kind of jam

All this booping made me forget that yesterday Sinner won again, so this is a sign I have to really write the adsom tennis AU that would feature a tournament like the Essen Tasch but with tennis and all the antari (so yeah even the ones who aren't from Red London) will participate... but yeah, you'll hear about it once I grasp more of the storyline lol

#shades of magic #all of this was born bc Sinner's fans call him “prince” and “little carrot” bc he has red hair and he made me think about Kell #I can really imagine Kell as a pro tennis player. He has the attitude #now I should go to bed bc tomorrow I have to wake up at the crack of dawn

Following up on my Mechanisms au post

A Magnus Archives AU along the same line.

Jon is a Grey London Antarai, all of the fear shit is maybe Black London getting through? Or remnants and memories of it.

Or a Twist where Kell and Lila and Holland end up giving statements to the Archive.

I've been missing Kell and Holland a lot, could we have a drabble about them? Maybe one in The Coffee Shop AU, it's so cute?

Kell has been sitting here with his slowly cooling flat white for an hour now. He has the textbook open in front of him. His hand grips a pen. The notebook is there, neatly labeled for subject and pages he has been assigned to study.

He has been reading the same paragraph for an hour now and he still has no idea what it says.

What he does know, though, is that Holland Vosijk did not shave today.

The grad student he absolutely does not have a crush on is in his usual chair across the room, his own eyes shifting from left to right as he reads. He's deep in whatever it is - Kell read the title when he came in and he can't remember that, either. He never looks up.

It makes it easy for Kell to take in what he's wearing and not look like the absolute creep he absolutely is.

He goes to pick up his drink and, eyes still on the way the stubble shadows Holland's jaw and softens its cut-glass edges, he knocks the backs of his knuckles against the ceramic.

He gasps, but he isn't fast enough to stop the mug from crashing to the floor. The shattering ceramic seems impossibly loud.

The soft din of conversation goes briefly silent.

Someone applauds.

Kell's face burns with humiliation and he drops into a crouch, ducking his chin.

"Shut up."

Kell goes suddenly still. He slowly looks up to find Holland has closed his book and stood, glaring daggers at the offending man, who drops his hands back to his lip, startled.

Kell might actually blush harder. He feels light-headed, anyway. Holland heads his direction, wearing heavy boots and old jeans and he looks like he was poured into them, which definitely can't be fair-

"Do you need some help?" He asks, crouching across from Kell, picking up a broken shard. He drops it into Kell's palm with the others. "Are you hurt?"

"Uh. No, no, I'm fine, just... stupid."

"Human," Holland corrects. "You're human. I've seen you around campus before. You're... Kevin?"

"Kell. Kell Maresh."

"Kell Maresh." The corner of Holland's mouth quirks in a slight smile. "I'll remember that."

Half of Kell feels like it's just him being polite. The other half thinks Sanct, I hope so.

Precious to me : I am way to obsessed with this au! But as the living embodiment of magic Osaron is immortal. But are the antari going to become more like him like Osaron the more they learn magic or will they still age and die? Also how will Rhy react to Kell learning from Osaron will he be angry and betrayed or will he be supporting him?

Also will it be okay to make fan works like fanfiction from this idea?

Hi! Osaron as an oshoc is functionally immortal, but the Antari are still a separate kind of creature and do age and die- that said, in my headcanon they do have slightly extended lifespans if they’re healthy as they’re typically more resistant to injury. The Antari will definitely grow more powerful as they spend time with Osaron, but they will still always be mortal.

As for Rhy, there’s a lot of family drama surrounding why Kell disappeared. It definitely wasn’t his choice to do so, and when Rhy hears about exactly what happened… let’s just say the Antari aren’t necessarily the only ones switching sides.

For now I’m okay with fanworks provided I’m credited, but there is a canon plot line to this AU that hasn’t been revealed yet- a lot of lore is still under wraps for now. I haven’t posted some of the other parts I have written because they’re very old and I’ve also just been more into other fandoms than ADSOM recently, but since there’s interest in this AU I may post some of the other parts soon so everyone can have a better idea of what’s going on. I’ve never had fanworks of my stuff before so I can’t promise I’ll be comfortable with it forever, but for now I’m okay with people making content for it provided there’s credit. Thank you again for the ask!

Hogwarts Houses au with the adsom gang

Kell: Ravenclaw. Definitely. All those trinkets he collected for no other reason than he wanted to have them? Literally going against direct orders to get all of them? Always trying to think rationally and logically? Learning so much about magic? Being pessimistic? Ravenclaw.

Lila: Slytherin- my girl is the DEFINITION of ambition, like she followed a guy who had every reason to intensely dislike her on a trip she isn't sure she'll survive, entered the Essen Tasch, a whole ass tournament for the best magicians IN THE WORLD just to test her strength, holds grudges, planned to kill a ship's captain to take it as her own and overall was a Slytherin.

Rhy: Hufflepuff. Do I have to elaborate? No. Am I going to? Yes. This is the person who got kidnapped and nearly killed, and his first concern when he woke up was that his brother was hurt, AND THEN literally pardoned the people who were planning to kill him. He is explicitly stated to be extremely trusting and fully loyal to Kell, and stayed with Alucard on that ship even though he had no actual reason too. Also just generally how much he cares for his people, the b e a u t i f u l scene where he goes around with blankets, and how the trait he values in himself the most is how lovable and approachable the people see him as, all just make him the most Hufflepuffy Hufflepuff ever.

Alucard: Gryffindor, but I can't really explain it. I guess it's just how much of a natural leader he seems to be, but how much he tries to seem like part of the crew, laughing at all the jokes, teasing his crew mates, ect.. Also his reaction when Rhy stopped breathing just seems like A Gryffindor Thing.

Holland: Slytherin. So I'm gonna try to keep this unbiased even though i hate this guy with a passion (don't attack me ok i can see why you would like him but i just don't). Anyways I think Slytherin because of how intent he was on helping his city. He was willing to do just about anything for his city to prosper, and this lead eventually to him being reckless. He also held a grudge against Red London his whole life, and was actually willing to give up his body and will a SECOND time for the sake of his London, that's how ambitious he was.

Also the dynamics? I mean sorry if this is just me but I've always thought that Gryffindors and Ravenclaws would get along the worst out of all the possible combinations, while Ravenclaws and Slytherins, and Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs would get along well because they are the pessimistic and optimistic houses respectively.

EXTRA MENTIONS

Tieren: Ravenclaw

Ned: Ravenclaw, he was so eager to learn

Maxim: Gryffindor

Emira: Hufflepuff but this one is the hardest

Ojka: Gryffindor, she's loyal to Holland

Calla: Hufflepuff, she deserved so much better

Astrid/Athos: Slytherin, just like anyone on that throne

Hastra: Hufflepuff, I will never forgive V.E.Schwab

I’m so sorry for the delay on all the updates.

I have toxic as hell family coming into town today and getting ready has been really draining.

On the bright side, I’ll probably do a lot of writing to ignore them. Escapism at its finest, lol. Hopefully everything will be updated sometime this week! Thank you for the love and patience 💚

Go No More A-Roving

(wingfic for @pinkcupboardwitch, @ashintheairlikesnow, @orchidscript and @dr-dendritic-trees)

***

The wind shrieks past the tower, rattling the heavy shutters and finding its way through chinks in the old stones. The man inside shivers in his sleep. He isn’t used to the chill, and the restraints around his wrists and ankles make it impossible to curl up. There was a time when the weather wouldn’t have bothered him, thanks to the rows of soft warm feathers he could wrap around himself.

In his dreams, he flies.

The hand on his shoulder is cold, colder even than the night air, and he jerks awake. The pale woman is gazing down at him curiously, eyes big in her thin, sharp face.

“Pet,” she says softly. “I think it’s time you learned your place.”

His place had been at his friend’s side. Holland had been Vortalis’ falcon, a hunter born, the royal guard and magician and advisor all in one. People had drawn back in awe at the sight of him. He bares his teeth, then stifles a moan of discomfort as she runs her hand through the glossy black feathers furled on his back. She smiles at him then and abruptly breaks one off, the way a child might snap a branch from a tree to play with. She watches curiously as a bead of blood gathers, then dips a fingertip and tastes.

He doesn’t know what happened to his king’s body, but he can guess.

“My brother has plans for you,” she tells him. “You’ll be bound to us. Our most loyal servant. Hooded until you learn to come to the glove, of course.” The woman is bone-white in the moonlight and gleaming with pleasure. “I, on the other hand, do not want you. I cannot trust something that could fly away. And so-” Astrid lifts her other hand, and he sees the wicked little knife in it and begins to struggle. “And so, my dear, I think we’d better make sure you never can.”

If Kell in A Darker Shade got his name from the syllables “Kah-El” his name probably should’ve been Kyle.

This is the hill I will die on. The Dark-Eyed Prince of Arnes: Kyle.

Every moment in all of the books would’ve been infinitely more funny if his name was kyle.

Kellila Zoo Date plz

“Lila, slow down!” Kell walked at a more leisurely pace, holding onto the popcorn that they’d both been eating a moment ago, before Lila took off running towards the next enclosure. They’d decided to blow off responsibilities and just go to the zoo for a date.

“The sign back there said that there was a baby in here, I gotta see that, Kell!” Lila kept hurrying towards the Big Cat House, where there was supposed to be a baby snow leopard. Kell just smiled as he followed her in at a walk. The lights were dimmed and there were several spacious enclosures that all opened to an outdoor portion. The lions were mostly all outside, with one female just watching the people lazily. Two tigers were playing with a ball, and a cheetah was playing with its support dog. The snow leopard section came into view, and they could see a mother snow leopard with her young cub. They were lounging far away from the glass, the small children pressed against the window making the mother’s ears twitch in nervousness.

As the kids passed to the next enclosure, Lila crouched by the window. She extended her hand, fingers lightly brushing the glass. “Hi baby, hi momma,” she crooned softly. The mother still looked apprehensive but the cub slowly ambled over on still unsteady legs. It made a high-pitched short growl, and Lila looked up at Kell and grinned. “I’m a leopard whisperer,” she declared, then turned her attention back to the cub.

She continued to make different noises at the cub as the mom still watched from the back, and Kell watched her. Something in his chest tightened at the sight of Lila being so...soft. He slowly took out his phone and snapped a quick picture of the pair, Lila’s hand still pressed against the glass, and the cub sniffing at it. 

After a few minutes, she straightened and suggested they go out and see if it was almost time for the elephant show. “Maybe we can stop and grab some cotton candy too,” she said as she ate a handful of popcorn. Kell sighed. “Well, I suppose we won’t have to go eat dinner later then,” he said. Lila just looked at him. “Don’t be silly,” she retorted, “there’s always room for dinner.”

They slowly walked around the zoo, stopping at the stand that had cotton candy and paying the extorted amount of money for a small bundle before taking their seats to watch the elephant show.
