“I - I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Stede squeaked, leaving dignity fully behind him. No wonder his apprentice had threatened so many times to leave him.

In which Stede is not a very good sorcerer, and Ed is the sea demon whose summoning he didn't get quite right.

Masterlist
Izzy Hands x Reader (GN)
Summary: A slow burn with Izzy Hands that follows along with the episodes of Our Flag Means Death. I am slowly adding chapters as we speak. There are a lot of interactions with other crew members and the captains. There is so much fluff and pining. I just like to imagine what it would be like to fall in love with Izzy Hands while he's still grappling with his feelings towards Edward.
Chapter 1- Little Mouse
Chapter 2- A Damned Man
Chapter 3- A Gentleman Pirate
Chapter 4- Discomfort in a Married State
Chapter 5: The Best Revenge is Dressing Well 
Chapter 6: The Art of F**ckery
Chapter 7: Drunken Confessions
Chapter 8: Wherever You Go, There You Are
Chapter 9: The Chaos of the Kraken
Chapter 10: Fun and Games
Chapter 11: The Curse of the Seafaring Life
Chapter 12: Ex Marks the Spot
Chapter 13: Calypso's Birthday

Summary:
After an embarrassing first meeting at her youngest sister's engagement party, Nesta swears that she'll never think about hockey hotshot Cassian Valdarez ever again. But then he's moving to her city, refusing to get out of her bookstore, and seemingly determined to get under her skin. When Cassian gets traded to the Seattle Kraken, it feels like his whole life changes. The last thing he expects is Nesta Archeron, his sister-in-law's sister and the only person he knows when he moves across the country. Unfortunately for him, the only thing Nesta wants is for Cassian Valdarez to get out of her bookstore. He's determined to change her mind. Aka: the most self-indulgent hockey AU you'll ever read

Euron's Master Plan
something i recently realized about euron is that he wasnt always this unhinged. like, we know that he raped aeron and urri when they were kids, and that he has a crew of mutes with ships whose floors are painted red to hide the blood, and has raided all across essos, but the full-blown magically unhinged i-bring-forth-the-doom part of his character we see in affc and the forsaken is, by all indications a more recent shift. specifically it seems to have occurred after euron captured the four qartheen warlocks who were sailing to find daenerys and after he took their shade-of-the-evening, granting him visions that spur his actions in the main plot. so what is euron's grand master plan? lets see what his main actions were so far
Step 1. Hire a faceless man to kill your brother by giving the house of black and white a dragon egg (?)
Step 2. Get elected at the kingsmoot because you bribed everyone with gold and bcz all your competition is way tooo normal for the Iron Islands
Step 3. Capture your priest brother and a bunch of other priests of various faiths and lock them up in the bowels of your ship. This will come in handy later
Step 4. Give your other brother a dragonhorn, some ships, a suspicious mute woman, and a mission to fuck off eastward (to not bother you) and subtly hint to him that he can totally use the dragonhorn for himself and there wont be any negative repercussions ohh nooo
Step 5. Conquer the Shield Islands as a morale boost for your troops and as a launching point for capturing Oldtown. Impregnate Falia Flowers and let your unborn child grow for a few months
Step 6. Lure the redwyne and hightower fleet into the straits between the arbor and the reach, making them think theyve encircled you (parallel to when stannis actually did catch you in the straits in the greyjoy rebellion 10 years ago)
Step 7. Sacrifice the priests and Falia in an orgiastic blood ritual that will awaken krakens from the sea in order to defeat the reach fleet and leave westeros undefended by sea
Step 8. ???
Step 9. Take the iron throne
So it seems like euron's trigger for constructing his master plan was the discovery of the warlocks and him finding out about daenerys. euron wants to remake the world in his image according to the forsaken chapter, and for that he needs great power. so it seems like his plan is to use magic--the armor of valyria, of oldtown, and of dragons--to conquer the iron throne (at least based on aeron's visions in the discarded Forsaken chapter of Winds of Winter)

Dungeon Meshi Anime Episode Breakdown Predictions
My spouse has been scouring the manga trying to figure out how Trigger will break up the remaining episodes, and this is their current prediction for how it will go, based on the episodes we've had so far (1-4) Potential manga spoilers under the cut.
5: ch 10 (snacks), 11 (sorbet), 12 (living paintings) 6: ch 13 (mimic), 14 (kelpie) 7: ch 15 (porridge), 16 (kraken/parasite) 8: 17 (raspberries) ch 18 (grilled meat) 9: 19 (tentacles), 20 (stew) 10: ch 21 (giant frog), 22 (above ground (namari&twins)) 11: 23 (planning), 24 (dragonfight 1), 25 (Dragonfight 2) 12: 26 (butchering the dragon) 27 (jigsaw, rez) 13: 28 (dragon cooking), 29 (the mad mage) Just some predictions of how things might go down, since we know Trigger is combining some chapters but not others.

15 lines of dialogue
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!
tagged! by @dragonologist-phd like ten thousand years ago! (i didn't forget or deliberately shun you i promise, i'm just very very forgetful and tired all the time ♡) and more recently by @solas-backpack-mug for the same thing! i've been thinking of re-editing and possibly continuing Anthem Infinitum, my PoE1 novelization starring Best Girl and the Gods' Favorite Punching Bag Axa Mala, so honestly this prompt couldn't have come at a better time. here's her Greatest Hits:
all of these quotes are from Anthem Infinitum, because my other fics don't feature her as prominently (if at all). i may have goofed up some of the formatting somewhere between copy and paste. [...] indicates excised surrounding narrative text.
1. "I lost my academic standing, my career, my… everything. So now I'm here. Because it was this or killing myself, and with my luck that would probably just piss off Berath."
2. "No need for thanks. Couldn't leave another kith outnumbered like that. Wasn't right." [...] "Could have done without the extremely blatant goading, though, friend."
3. "Excellent. I was worried I looked like a weird asshole for a minute there."
4. "…I don't know if that's the best or the worst mixed metaphor I've ever heard."
5. “Knowledge seeks freedom, we say in Ixamitl, and the freer I can make it, the better.”
6. "Ha! Since becoming a Watcher with her own castle who offers to help everyone she meets solve all their problems, I do seem to be quite popular, yes," [...] "…I jest, of course. In any case, the friends I do make, I tend to keep. And cherish."
7. "Never tell me how to feel, Kana, never again. Or by the Beast, I'll show you fucking hostile."
8. "Smells like a kraken took a shit out here and died," [...]
9. "I may be forgiving, but the Doemenels aren't. He sticks around too much longer, they're gonna 'stick' him."
10. "'Trust is a double-edged sword, gift and burden both to friends and allies.' My father taught me that one."
11. "Can I please just go put some gods damned pants on," [...]
12. "Don't go around pinning all your trust on any one person or institution completely, Aloth. Not even me. You'll regret it, trust me."
13. "I don't need to be coddled, Aloth," [...] "What I need is to quit moping and get off my ass so I can actually do something that at least makes me feel like I still have a little control over my life."
14. "I wonder– will it piss off the gods, do you think, ruining two priests' days in a row like that?"
15. "You may be content to issue Hollowborn until your shriveled womb drops out of your skirts," [...] "but I will not permit you to stand between these people and the truth!"
and That's Our Axa! ™️
thus far, her alternate dimension counterpart/ex-fiance Vaargys has exactly one (1) written line of dialogue, so we will be skipping him. i plan on featuring him prominently in flashbacks during Axa's time in the White March, which will probably be the next six or seven chapters of Anthem Infinitum, so look forward to it! ♡

Swan of the Lake Ch. 11 - Lacuna
Tumblr media
Summary:
While searching for her past filled with mysteries and legends, Emma Nolan loses her present in an unfortunate accident. The man rushing to save her is no prince charming, and he must realize soon enough that the girl, who has no idea who she is, awakens instincts and desires in him that he had long since buried deep within his soul. But who exactly is she? What if her memories come back? Will she remember anything at all?
Words: 3.7k
Read on: AO3 or FF.net
Buy me a coffee if you like :)
prologue II ch. 1 II ch. 2 II ch. 3 II ch. 4 II ch. 5 II ch.6 II ch.7 II ch.8 II ch.9 II ch. 10
.
Chapter 11: Lacuna
Killian shoots a surprised glance at Swan, utterly clueless about what's racing through her mind at that moment. Before he can decipher it, she shuts her eyes, and her face becomes a canvas drained of color. In a heartbeat, he darts towards her, cradling her in his arms just as she threatens to make a less-than-graceful return to the icy stage. Scooping her gently into his arms, he pulls her close.
"Well, I tend to have this effect on women," quips the dark-blond guy with a mischievous grin.
Killian shoots him a look that could chill a cup of espresso and signals for the dimmer switch on the charm offensive. The girl in the black hat takes a subtle jab at the man, successfully dialing down the wattage on his smile.
"Is she okay?" Concerned, the lass – Lily, or was it? – questions, prompting Killian's sarcasm to make an entrance.
"Does she look like she's okay?" he retorts with a raised eyebrow.
Suppressing the urge to unleash a kraken of irritation on the unwitting duo, Killian reluctantly acknowledges that they aren't to blame for knowing Swan. He really shouldn't harbor resentment towards them. Still, annoyance simmers within him like a pot of overzealous soup, threatening to boil over. As he looks at her, who's blissfully unaware of the turmoil within him, he contemplates the unexpected turn of events.
"Swan," he murmurs gently, but she remains unresponsive. Are her memories resurfacing, threatening to erase the Swan he knows when she opens her eyes? And why does the prospect sting with an unexpected, piercing pain? Killian sighs and turns to the duo, reigning in his irritation for the sake of friendliness. "You two seem to know her," he observes, prompting bewildered glances and a subtle nod from the man.

Characters Out of Context Tag
Another tag game I've been sitting on since August??? Thank you @serenanymph and SORRY!!!
Rules: Include one character quote of your choosing ⁠from each chapter of your WIP (or as many chapters as you'd like). Give absolutely no context, save for what's between two parts of an interrupted sentence, should that occur. You may mention who said it.
No pressure tagging as many people as I have chapters: @sunset-a-story, @touloserlautrec, @mjparkerwriting, @captain-kraken, @authoraemoseley, @star-studded-whales, @ryns-ramblings, @athenswrites, @moonandris, @breath-of-eternity, @tabswrites, @dontjudgemeimawriter, @talesofsorrowandofruin, @kjscottwrites, @words-after-midnight, @sarandipitywrites
Quotes below cut. I am only doing them for draft 3, and the chapter of draft 2 I am currently editing into draft 3. Because I am not skimming 77 000 words for this.
Chapter 1 (draft III) - Isolde
"I wonder how long a person could live without skin? I heard that the eyes of severed heads sometimes follow the executioner as he walks off the gallows. Do you think that means they are still alive? Do severed heads feel their body still attached like a phantom limb? Perhaps someone should invent a language entirely in blinks. Then, when you are all beheaded you can tell me."
Chapter 2 (draft III) - there is no dialogue in this chapter and the internal monologue was very straightforward.
Chapter 3 (draft III) - Isolde
He might as well have called me Aldus of Pussy.
Chapter 4 (draft III) - Henry
"Assuming she did not drown or get swallowed whole by a shark..."
Chapter 5 (draft III) - Alan
"Welp, there goes peace in the region…”
Chapter 6 (draft III) - Isolde
This will only stop when Henry has me pinned - oh no. I can’t keep the grin from my face...
Chapter 6... this was a long chapter so it gets two (draft III) - Uthman
“It’s amazing, truly, how agreeable a person becomes when faced with a knife to the throat.”
Chapter 7 (draft III) - Alan
“Good fellow, find a pond and look at yourself. If you wished to bed a princess all you’d have to do is ask.”
Chapter 7... another long chapter, gets two (draft III) - Isolde
“There go your glorious plans to duel every man in the camp.”
Chapter 8 (draft III) - Isolde
“So that’s why you can’t breathe without flirting.”
Chapter 9 (draft III) - Wulfrith
“Find yourself a rich man then, best if he’s old or sickly. Have his son, do away with him while the boy’s still young and needs his mother to manage his inheritance, and… don’t get caught.”
Chapter 10 (draft III) - Isolde
Stop thinking about food, Isolde. You don’t want to know what was in that soup.
Chapter 9 (draft II) ... will be chapter 11 in draft III - Henry (Sorin)
"Up to you what sex you want to be here. But either way, you have to wash your face.”
There were too many good ones in this chapter. Here's a few more. - Isolde (Isadred, in disguise as Adris)
“No, actually, I’m not Adris... you’ve been captured by witches and I’m here to steal your voice and sew your mouth shut.”
- Isolde (Isadred)
“Sewing by the fireplace is a slippery slope. Next thing we know we’ll be dozing off together in these chairs!”
- Henry (Sorin)
"Option two: kill us. Pros: we’re dead. Cons?”
- Also Henry (Sorin)
“You mean, let’s assume they know that we know that they know why we are here.”

7&7
Okay, so because I have ten of these tags, I'm just going to combine them. Thanks @creatrackers @pure-solomon @captain-kraken (×2) @oh-no-another-idea @primroseprime2019 (×2) @enchanted-lightning-aes @theunboundwriter @sunlit-gully for the tags!
No pressure tagging: @minutiaewriter @midnight-and-his-melodiverse @lyssentome @sam-glade @tisiphonewolfe @kyofsonder & leaving my open tag as always!
In the spirit of combining, I'm picking some of my favorite snippets so far from the first 7 chapters of the second book in my secondary series. 🙃 Hopefully I'll remember to redact the spoilers this time around.
Chapter 1
The earth trembles when his knees hit the dirt.
Or maybe that's just me. Because I don't realize I'm shaking until Micah softly holds my shaking hand. He's warm at my side, constant.
My makeshift weapon slips from my grasp as I take my own place in my hands and knees before the new mass grave. Micah falls with me, cradling my head against his chest. I don't cry. These deaths aren't mine to mourn.
Chapter 2
All the tension that has been rotting in my stomach and lungs settles. Sure, everything sucks. The whole world is on fire right now for me and the people I care about, but my own fire is starting to burn out. I can stop burning when I have my sister in my arms. Two figures materialize. And the rot stirs back up.
Chapter 3
You die, too,” I tell her but also myself. “You die with the people you love and someone new keeps living your life. Survivors die a thousand deaths. We just keep coming back to life, too.” “And if we don’t?” That’s the question, isn’t it?” Is it the sleeping medication in your nightstand drawer or the knives sewn into your pillowcase or does your body give out before your mind does? “Then someone dies with you.” She breathes out a laugh, wiping her nose with the blanket. “That’s a happy thought, isn’t it?” “I don’t know. I don’t think I want to die alone.”
Chapter 4
How do you tell someone I’m sorry we ended up like this without sounding like it’s over? Even if it is over. Even if this nothingness, this festering mile of mistakes is both the beginning and the end. Even if nothing was created yet everything was destroyed.
Chapter 5
If working in a bar has taught me nothing else, it’s when to recognize a swindler. Who will try not to pay their tab, who will pick pockets while they chat, who will spike drinks while someone’s not looking. I know Edward can take care of himself. But creeps are persistent.
Chapter 6
Another unfinished story. I am full of unfinished stories. Who was the girl before me and who is the one who truly killed her? ...
Does the girl who broke the glass deserve to get a happy ending?
Chapter 7
“But no. My friend, you bring all three of your comrades straight to me.” “What did you do?” Imre slinks onto the floor as well, reaching out with one hand to tip my chin up. “Nothing to you, dearest. Nothing to you.”
