I wish to bless you with this mental image of aunty des with nephew shay and liam. Very unorganized but eh

Des's new life was simple, as simple as it could be if she were honest. She's spooked her brother a few times, not on purpose, of course. But now with a six year old boy under her feet she's definitely gotten a dose of her own medicine whenever she turns around to see just him and his friend liam, who was now an unspoken member of her newfound brood. Blinking des looked at shay with a raised brow "I didn't hear you or liam" she says taking note of their excited-proud-mildly embarrassed body language as shay gave a smile that made her heart melt right to her soul and leak from her very pores.

"Just like you taught us!"

It was official, des adored her nephew. Isu be damned if anything happened to the small ray of light that life blessed her with, she swore she was partially retired but in truth she was a liar and she knew it. She knew half of shay's story, that he became a traitor of the brotherhood and hunted them to near extinction here in the colonies yet a part of her always- always felt she had a half truth, a fae lie. Seeing shay as he was now and raising him, she knew Achilles and his assassin's were at fault somehow and the fate shay and subsequently liam had due to them would be avoided if she had anything to do or say about it.

Grinning in return, she ruffled his hair lovingly as she gave liam a pat on the head before resting her hands on their shoulders. "And I'm very proud you took what i taught you, the both of you to heart." The pride in her voice wasn't hard to miss, it never was.

"Now, do you two wanna try something i was making? It's sweet and i personally think you'll love it"

Originally, the woman would've cursed the isu and their machines for bringing her back, but now? Des was happy and loved her newfound family, so small blessings she concluded. Small blessings.

Part of the Desmond gets reborn as Shay’s aunt idea

Aawww. This is so sweet.

If I may suggest that the reason why Desmond learned of Shay’s betrayal is because of a memory of Ratonhnhaké:ton and Achilles talking.

A small memory that remained in Desmond’s mind because it was the last conversation Ratonhnhaké:ton had with Achilles.

Achilles warned Ratonhnhaké:ton the pitfalls of being a mentor, how it was a lonely place to be, with no one beside you to support you.

Desmond could feel the grief and the guilt in Achilles’ words.

No.

Ratonhnhaké:ton could feel what Achilles wasn’t directly saying.

It was a warning.

He was trying to make sure Ratonhnhaké:ton wouldn’t make the mistakes he made.

And Desmond right now?

She’ll make sure Achilles doesn’t make a similar mistake this time.

Even if it means dragging him off the mentor role by undermining his authority.

Someone gifted me a fic!

A Streak of Red on a Field of Gold - Chapter 1 - JormungandrRagnarok - Elden Ring (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

If you guys are enjoying Prince of Death, consider giving this fic a look. It's just getting started, but the prose and characterization are excellent and it puts a good deal of focus on the small-scale politics and worldbuilding of the Lands Between. I'd highly recommend it!

Do you have any Aemond fic recommendations?

hohoho, so:

signs amidst the starry mirth by xiaolongbaobei

fem!Aemond and one of teh scarriest depictions of Daemon I've ever come across. Splendid style, consistent characterisation.

a poison tree by Juliet_Capulet (you can find and bombard them @branwendaughterofllyr)

Right now this is one of the few Aemond/OC fics I'm willing to read. Extensive worldbuilding, incredibly poetic language, and a huge amount of psychological work behind the curtains.

drop and speak a charm by slaymond (aemondtargaryen)

kid Aemond sees ghosts and right now he's befriending a ghost Sansa... but is she a ghost really? The author's other Sansa/Aemond fic is also charming, but this fic got me with the horroresque depiction of ghosts that bby!Aemond sees on the regular.

See, What Had Happened Was... by Daylander

Penis blood. This fic takes the showverse and asks the real questions. There is some characterisation tweaking (such as the fic!Alicent has a spine and Aegon is a wet cat that isn't a sex offender). Aemond is his unhinged book self and it's absolutely hilarious. Aemond/Rhaena, but it'S GOOOD.

I've dug two graves for us, my dear by elleinmotion

Aemond/Alyssa Royce. Suffers a bit with the overcompetent Aemond syndrome with the far-too-messy-Aegon symptoms, but overall it's a charming story with an interesting female lead and a very very adorable banter.

I'm sure there are some good fics I'm missing, but these are the ones that have left a lasting impression on me (since, you know, most of the Aemond stories feel like they copy-pasted a rubric.)

Digging out a few dark/unhinged!dean fics to tide me over while we mull a dark!dean/scared!sam event.

Coda by Caranfindel

Come lay bones on the alabaster stones by Caranfindel

Nothing to win and nothing left to lose by Caranfindel

fly by Askance (doom country)

bridling chaos by petrichorsam

Mind the ratings/tags.

So LilP7 is writing a what i'm sure is a very cute Garvez dating fic, but my brain hasn't been allowing me to read it, so i'm skimming the comments of it tonight instead and one mentioned Penelope's on a date with a hunter and how incongruent that is with her personality but then I was like "Hey, but LUKE thinks of himself as a hunter, or he did at one point." ...I wonder if he does still...We know Barnes tried to appeal to that side of him and he was offended (though she also likened him to an animal, telling him he could cut the leash), but a major part of what they do IS hunting killers... mm

I'm throwing so many fics I want to read in my drafts to save them for my road trip. My car ride will be so full of everyone's lovely Astarion content.

[catgirlthecrazy]

So I have a bunch of my favorite AO3 fics downloaded onto my phone, and given the sucky situation with the DDoS attacks against AO3 I decided to upload them to my Google drive and make them available for others to download. They're all .epub files, sorted into folders by author. It's overwhelmingly Shadowgast fics in there, but there are some other Critical Role fics too and even some stray Dragon Age fics.

Happy reading!

“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search

#i saw something on Twitter the other day about how some people actually want ao3 to have an algorithm #like my dude the fact that it doesn’t is the POINT #leave me and my cursed fics alone #I’m happier this way #this is a joke btw

What if when Michael got Distortioned he/they/it/(?) had just kept showing up to work? Imagine Gertrude comes into the archives and finds a bunch of paperwork filled out in yellow highlighter and folded into impossible shapes, and then Michael-Distortion just walks into the room door-style and sits down at his work computer so it can email Gertrude a phishing scam.

#the magnus archives #tma #michael distortion #the distortion #i think this would make everyone’s lives worse #the eye 🤝(<-phishing) the spiral #tricking someone into thinking you’re someone they can trust so that theyll give you info they can use against you? #that shits both eye and spiral coded af tbh #edit: for those who have said that they want a fic of this i would like to clarify that other people can do what they want with this idea #but i personally cannot write for shit #so i cannot provide a fic. unless you want it bland as hell and written in ieee format #sorry y’all. my skillsets are infodumping about spiders unprompted and eating chicken nugget

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble: #i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually? #fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!! #especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

Danny got comfortable on the roof, leaning froward with anticipation.

A silent thump and a person slid next to him, Danny barely gave the red head a glance.

"Any reasons to be on the roof at night?"

He shushes the vigilante, eyes not leaving the spot. It has Roy crouching next to him, watching as well.

Out of nowhere, a vampire looking fella flew around wildly, not far behind a ginger woman on a hoverboard, flying after him.

The Lady is shooting lasers with deathly accuracy, the man (?) dodging barely. It had Arsenal hum at the show.

"That's my mom." Danny points at the lady. "The guy she's hunting keeps harassing me so she took matters into her own hands."

Cheshire Cat lands not far away from the two, head tilted with a silent question that had Roy nodding and she is leaping away to the next roof once more.

"Why not call the authorities?" He asks, appearing less tense and more friendly to the teen.

The kid whistles sharp with a grin before answering.

"Tried, unfortunately, he's super rich with influence and connection. So here we are." He shrugs.

While they watch the chaos a bit longer, Roy ignores the insisting buzzing from his comm, Cheshire Cat probably alarmed Oliver by now.

He looks up when Danny stands, stretching.

"What was your name again?" He quirks his brow with a smile.

"I don't remember telling you."

Roy rolls his eyes, joining the teen to his feet. "So?"

"Danny."

He steps off the roof before Roy can react, a shout building up, until he sees the kid sitting on the hoverboard of his mother, her hand ruffling his hair.

"See ya, Arsenal."

They're long gone when Arsenal huffs, laughing.

"Until next time, Danny."
