✦ Ink and Blood series masterpost ✦
✦ About the series ✦
This series was born as a fix-it for the tragic end of Cedric and Orube in Arc 5 of the comics, but it developed into something a bit broader than just a Cedrube fic. I think it’s fair to say that this is Cedric’s story, with a focus on his major relationships: the friendship with Vathek (admittedly more fanon than canon), the tortured relationship with Phobos (friends? lovers? enemies? codependent broken people? who knows), and finally his light at the end of the tunnel - Orube. More focus is given to Cedric and Orube, of course.
The series is comic-based and keeps the canon into account only until the end of Arc 5.
[Link to the series]
✦ The stories and the reading order ✦
1 - The Book of Elements (ongoing, new chapters Tue and Fri)
Ye Olde Bookshop.
Orube had passed by this bookstore many times, and it had always been closed. Only recently her colleagues from the editorial staff had mentioned that the bookstore had reopened and that it was the perfect place for finding pieces that everyone else had forgotten or discarded. Exactly like what she was looking for - old popular legends about Heatherfield.
This story is a prose rewriting of Arc 5 of the comic, told from Cedric's and Orube's points of view. It includes most canon scenes and is expanded with tons of missing moments between them which we don't see in the canon.
(Rating: Mature)
2 - Ink and Blood (part I) (complete)
Cedric is gone. Unable to stay in Kandrakar waiting for the Oracle to give her anything to do, Orube is granted permission to go back to Earth. She does her best to move on and even has someone new in her life, but she does not forget. And as she gets a glimpse of a stranger with long blond hair in a black uniform standing in front of her house during a storm, forgetting does not become any easier…
(Rating: adult only)
3 - The Twin Suns of Basiliade (complete)
Cedric and Orube are transferred to Basiliade by Elyon's order to join the revolt lead by Orube's brother. Cedric tries to adapt to this new world and to the camp life of the warriors, until it's time for Orube to go to war, while he has to stay in the back and hope that she'll come back all in one piece...
(Rating: mature)
4 - Ink and Blood (part II) (complete)
One year has passed since the take of the Citadel in Basiliade, and it has been one of the happiest in both Cedric's and Orube's lives. They have not forgotten about the threat they left behind on Earth, and they know Elyon will call Cedric back anytime to help her dealing with it, but the Queen does not give any sign of needing his help. Until their peace is shattered by an unexpected encounter...
(Rating: mature)
5 - Ink and Blood (part III) (complete)
Cedric has made his choice. Meanwhile, Orube still has no idea of what is happening on Metamoor, while she tries to enjoy the celebrations for Shoshan becoming a Warrior. Until, again, the celebrations are interrupted by another unexpected visit...
(Rating: adults only)
6 - Home (in preparation... no idea when it will be ready)
7 - The Galahot, the Prince and the Warrior (complete
Vathek. Phobos. Orube. They have one thing in common: a shapeshifter in their lives. Three windows from which you will look at Cedric's story with the eyes of the most important people in his life.
(Rating: Mature)
(contains both Cedric/Phobos - past relationship - and Cedric / Orube)
8 - Stay (third chapter coming soon!)
Cedric has finally a night free from his duties as a Champion of the Queen and looks forward to spending it in his room filled with books, where he can read in peace before accompanying the Queen to Hoel the day after. Unfortunately, someone disrupts his evening plans by knocking on his door with unexpected news and a problem to be solved...
This story is another flashback on Cedric's past and on an event that marked Phobos more than he'd have expected (comic-based). (it’s a Cedric x Phobos thing)
(Rating: Mature)
9 - What Loyalty Means (complete)
‘The Queen and the Consort are dead.’
Cedric repeated those words over and over in his mind, trying to convince himself that they told the truth. None of them had seen the bodies. None of the Champions, the ones like him who were supposed to protect the Queen with their own life. They had received the news from the High Priest, who had forbidden them to enter the Queen’s quarters and then had vanished, leaving them standing there in the hall wondering if they’d all really heard the same thing.
This story is a flashback on the night when Phobos and Elyon lost their mother. (it’s another Cedric x Phobos thing)
(Rating: Mature)
10 - 20 years later [reloaded] (ongoing but presently on a break)
After a few minutes of mindless scrolling the screen of her phone with her thumb, Will set it down on the table with the display facing down. Fed up with the photos from the windows of other people’s wonderful lives on social media, she decided to do something rather unusual for that time in history at the end of 2020 while sitting at a table in a café-bookstore: writing on a notebook.
This story belongs to the Ink and Blood series and takes place at the end of 2020, about twenty years after the beginning of the events in the comics. It is a revised version of the story with the same name I published in 2021, with a lot of changed details.
(Rating: mature)
11 - The King of Meridian [reloaded] (will be published after 20 years later - I think)
This one shot is a missing moment in '20 years later'.
12 - The Gift of Time - An Ink and Blood Christmas story (complete)
While on Earth it’s December 2023, Cedric and Orube are entrusted with the most unusual mission ever: preparing Villa Rudolph to host a terrestrial Christmas for the Queen and a group of curious Metamoor and Basiliade natives. But the most difficult task for Cedric is not decorating a Christmas tree: he also needs to find a gift for Orube. Luckily, Vathek is there to help him…
(Rating: mature)

The Only Important Rule To Remember:
When there are only two characters remaining, they will face off against one another in a week-long poll to determine the victor.
Bye-bye Benny! You brought the drama, you brought the chaos! I want to give a big shout-out to the passionate and lovely Kylo Ren fans who campaigned so hard for their boy. You got him to bronze, and with how divisive Ben/Kylo is as a character, that's really impressive.
Now... without further ado...
This.
Is.
It.
It all comes down to a simple decision. A choice between two men, both of whom gave their lives to bring down The Empire.
Will the winner be Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Or will it be Cassian Andor?
Cast your votes for the last time to decide, once and for all... who is the hottest Star Wars man of all time?
...oh, but remember, this is all just for fun! So don't take it too seriously ;)
Happy voting, and may the hottest man win!
#go my man#he’s classy#he’s civilized#he has the high ground#the only man in the galaxy who can sport a mullet#his only weakness is the word ‘younglings’#but who else can say it with a straight face huh? who

I'm gonna be a theatre nerd on main here. Okay, the original recording of Christopher Plummer singing Edelweiss was released yesterday and honestly, I just want them to re-release the film with his vocals, not the dub. It feels much more natural and organic to him as a performer. What do I mean by that? Well, the man who dubbed Plummer sounded lovely, absolutely nothing wrong. But with Plummer's voice back in, I noticed subtle shifts in his acting that I hadn't before. The original dub is "Hello I am here and I am singing a pretty song, the end." Plummer's version is "I love my country, I love my family...and I think I love this woman who came into my home." And the tiny shifts in his voice match the expressions on his face and the way his eyes suddenly glint in a different way as the Captain. In conclusion, by God that man could act and he shouldn't have been dubbed in the first place. Maybe that's why he was always reticent to sing it in public.

Save the date! 🐍
He’s the subject of most of our memes, he’s constantly yelled at by the Escanors, he was hated by most canon artists, he died in the comic… but Cedric is still our blorbo, and in May we’re gonna celebrate him: one month, 11 prompts (one every three days because we’re all busybusy), any type of entry is welcome!
So start to cook your entries, I want to see them all starting from May 1st!
(and please feel free to reblog to spread the word!)
EDIT: just for clarification, you can participate by posting about whichever Cedric you want (cartoon or comic doesn't matter!), the only prompt with a limit in this regard is the last one!
#i think i did not share it here yet#so here it is for the remaining w.i.t.c.h. heroes following my main

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.
knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.
#so true#i learned tatting through the videos of this lady that were like 1 minute each#and they were perfect#don’t even know where her tatting shuttles and thread came from because she never said#and nobody asked

idk. it's never too late to start drawing. get a wacom intuos for 44 bucks and pirate an art program. use the billions of tools available to make it easier. trace 3d models. redraw existing drawings. make an elf and draw her 3000 times. you can do it. and if you are actually unable to hold a pen, dont go typing in prompts for some ai art, write fanfiction or original stuff. writing is art. it has just as much value it just takes longer than 1 second to appreciate

All I’m sayin is that we’ve had a lot of broody, dark-haired love interests. It’s time for the ginger to have his moment in the sun. Yes this is about Lucien. Rise up, king.
