hey, this is warriors anon. sorry this is a bit late, but snowtuft is one of the dark forest cats that didnt remember why he was in cat hell. like he had no memory of his crimes but was just constantly pushed sround by the others and stuff, ended up helping the protags in the seventh arc. (i assume jay, even if he does have a villain arc, will eventually be redeemed)

AS FOR FIREHEART = LLOYD—

bold of you to assume fireheart didnt fail his apprentices?? like bluestar was obviously less tgan perfect, and both she and yellowfang (who wasnt his mentor but fulfilled a similar role in the story) messed him up quite a bit. but her flaws were mostly about her being haunted by past mistakes and questioning her faith in her ancestors, which id argue is more in line with wu.

but fireheart?? he has a total of three apprentices, all in the first arc. and. he fails them. he doesnt mean to, oh no, he means so well. and he truly does care about them. but he constantly overcompensates. he idolizes bluestar and works so hard to embody what she was to him before her madness took over, and goes about it all in the wrong way bc he cant accept the fact that blue was less than perfect before, no no she was good, not like tigerclaw who is B A D. he sees them through a very b&w lens and when he starts off w/ cinder his method is the complete opposite of tigerclaws w/ raven (which isn’t necessarily bad, he sucked)

but speaking of, hes very encouraging with cinderpaw but not very attentive and doesnt do much to curb her reckless behavior, constantly urging her to try harder snd push beyond her limits (sound familiar?) and later when she has her accident he blames himself. she can never be a warrior and its his fault and hes too sshamed to even go talk to her in the med. den.

hes stricter with cloudpaw, but doesnt really sympathize with him. he distances himself emotionally and later blames himself when cloud runs away. and with bramble he obviously has that initial mistrust that we KNOW causes a lot of self esteem issues w/ bramble bc we get his pov in the next arc.

and its not just his own apprentices, part of it is about failing all the young cats in his clan, despite being extremely young himself. swiftpaws death, brightpaw being mauled by dogs, tawnypaw running away, s n o w k i t

and hes also dealing with prophetic dreams/visions/nightmares while all this goes down?? like bros so tortured???

so we have:

enemy is an evil tiger

idolizes absent mentor (who was less than perfect

prophetic dreams/nightmares abt future

struggling as a mentor

i could probably find more but im honestly tired rn. thoughts????

snowtuft: i didn't realise he had amnesia!! that's so funny you're right he can be jay

firestar: ogh you have made a VERY good point. the part about him idolising bluestar is huge. i didn't remember the details of cinderpaw's apprenticeship before her accident but you're right in drawing the parallels there. i do picture lloyd as a somewhat ignorant character which is inline with firestar's perception of bramblepaw, and bringing it back round to just the general failing of thunderclan's youth has made me really want to reread the books... damn.. maybe after exams...

you've made a really good argument! fine, i am swayed. lloyd gets his main character syndrome after all. (and as another point, i'd say his presence was to fulfill a prophecy; for fire this is 'fire alone can save our clan', and for lloyd it's the green ninja prophecy.)

#maintagging this i want the ninjago fans to be a witness #ninjago #lego ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago lloyd #lloyd garmadon #ninjago spoilers #(just for the jay bit)#wyrm answers #warriors anon

"Hey Suntuft, can we talk?"

Looking up from her anxious nest preparations, Suntuft paused in sifting moss to study her sister.

"I suppose," she said, giving her sister a playful tail-flick, "I can always make time for you."

Brightstorm made a visible effort to look happy, but Suntuft could tell it was forced. Immediately, her teasing faded to concern, tilting her head.

"... Can we... talk somewhere outside of camp?"

Suntuft didn't speak a single word more in teasing towards her sister after seeing how glum she was. Merely allowing herself to be guided out of camp, Suntuft behaved as normal when other warriors stepped up with warm greetings and playful energy under the cool leaf-fall sun. Brightstorm, however, could hardly muster up a polite meow, tail almost dragging as she guided them out of the camp's hollow-tree exit, and into the forest.

"Something is wrong, isn't it?"

The moment she knew they were fully out of earshot of any other cat, and after a thorough scenting of the area for nearby patrols, Suntuft cut straight to the point. She didn't like to prance around these unpleasant feelings for very long, feeling like she was walking astride a bed of stinging nettle. This behavior was unusual, and it wracked her nerves.

Brightstorm turned, and when she settled, Suntuft followed suit, sitting down and wrapping her tail about her forepaws. All the while, the sandy she-cat could not meet her eyes, looking down to the earth as though to meet her gaze was to invite StarClan's wrath. That likewise chewed at Suntuft's guts with worry.

"If this is about leaf-bare coming, I am sure Oatstar will do fine--"

"I'm pregnant."

Suntuft's mouth hung open as though waiting for prey to leap into it. Stunned, unable to complete her sentence of reassurance, she gaped for a moment longer before quickly shaking her head and regaining some semblance of composure.

"That's--why are you so upset? You always wanted another litter!"

A twinge of jealousy ran like fire ants under her fur. She was so excited for her own pregnancy, and still was she unable to escape this petty, internalized drama of competing with Brightstorm. Darkstar was dead, their apprentice days were over, and yet, could she not feel some joy for her sister? She knew how hard she had taken knowing it was better she did not kit again. Surely she should be celebrating this news with her, rather than seething in having to share Brightstorm's time in the sun.

"Mother... she came to me, in a dream," murmured Brightstorm, and Suntuft's confusion grew.

"Mother?"

"I've... I always wanted a prophetic dream. I thought it would be magical, like being blessed by StarClan. But she only came to warn me."

Suntuft was silent, musing over this knowledge. She could not quite find any jealous feelings regarding Boulderfrost visiting Brightstorm--not when it left the typically bubbly she-cat in such a depressing state. Much as she missed their mother, she would rather be spared the anxiety she scented rolling off of Brightstorm's pelt.

"If this is about how hard your first kitting was, we'll prepare for it. We know now how hard of a time you have, and we can let Beewatcher and the other medicine cats know to get ready."

Rising back to her paws, Suntuft tried not to think about how Brightstorm flinched as she bumped their heads together.

"Maybe this was destiny. You and I, pregnant at the same time? Perhaps it means something for our kits--"

"They're... they're not Bayspots's!"

Jolting back, fur fluffing out, Suntuft finally was able to meet Brightstorm's eyes. They were wild and panicked, beautiful copper flashing hints of wide at the edges from how wide they were.

"... What?"

Suntuft felt all of her feelings of self-depreciation and jealousy dissipate, like mist in the hot summer sun. All that remained was a scorching anxiety clawing its way up her back, prickling her with an unwelcome sense of foreboding.

"Bayspots has been so distant from me," Brightstorm began, and as she spoke, it was as if she could not stop. Like a sickness she needed to get out of her system, Brightstorm practically heaved as she carried on, looking on the verge of weeping hysterics.

"I don't know what I did, or what I could do, I just--ever since the kits left the nest, ever since they became apprentices, she's been skies away from me. She'll be right next to me, and it'll feel like mountains are between us, and I've been so lonely, and I--I--"

"Hey, hey."

Quieting Brightstorm, who fell into helpless sobs, with a brush of her tail against her shoulder, Suntuft squeezed in close.

"What is done is done," Suntuft murmured, and Brightstorm tucked her face against her chest.

"We are all still cats at the end of the day, not gods. We're not perfect, and we make mistakes."

But this mistake... It was huge. It would be like a volcanic eruption from the time of their ancestors, devastating and life-ruining. How would Bayspots react? Her kits? Their clan?

Lenient as they had become with the warrior code, allowing rogues and kittypets in as they have, it did not mean their fellow cats would look kindly upon this infidelity.

Thoughtful, Suntuft sat silent while Brightstorm rode out the last of her hiccupping cries, and when she spoke, it was with a tone of quiet consideration.

"... We were left behind by a dying kittypet, weren't we?"

Confused, Brightstorm looked up with red, bleary eyes.

"Yes, she brought us here for a second chance."

Suntuft nodded, as if that sentence was exactly what she needed to get the ball rolling for the idea taking root in her thoughts.

"I'm very nervous about my first pregnancy," she continued, and when Brightstorm opened her mouth to speak, she lifted her tail to silence her. "It's only reasonable that my sister help take care of me during it. Someone else can take on her duties, as our clan is currently thriving, with plenty of warriors to step up. Even in sickness, we have the means."

Brightstorm looked on in quiet confusion, but Suntuft kept speaking, tail beginning to lash as her thoughts snowballed.

"It'll be several more moons before I kit. You can stay with me in the nursery to ensure I get plenty of rest and am kept well-fed, as the upcoming leaf-bare will be difficult for a new queen. And then, when I kit..."

She looked over, and then down, down to Brightstorm's still-slim belly that would have to be kept strategically hidden for the following moons.

"You go out, you go and find prey for me, and return. You return with a litter of kits left abandoned in the cold, a rogue having left them behind. Like Beewatcher and Sunnydash, it is not unusual, cruel as it is."

Brightstorm's eyes lit with understanding, then dimmed from the grief of knowing what it will mean.

"I am sure I'll have a small litter, so I will be able to nurse them," gently Suntuft continued, and she knew just as well as Brightstorm how much this would hurt. Her own heart ached, knowing what it would mean for Brightstorm to have to separate herself from her kits, but it would be too dangerous for her to keep them. What if they looked like her affair partner? What if they looked like her?

That would be something they'd have to think of as well when explaining the rogue story, but maybe, Suntuft could lie and pretend she had birthed them, so at least if they looked like Brightstorm, the genetics could be played away.

"We'll make it work." Suntuft pressed their foreheads together. "I'll get to know all of the herbs you will need, and how to help you, so no one has to know. The medicine cats will think it is just all for me."

Brightstorm silently nodded, quick and anxious, and Suntuft gently began to groom her head, trying to soothe the anxiety she knew was not good for the young kits growing inside of her.

"... But I need to know, Brightstorm," she continued, soft as duck down, "I need to know who parented them."

Brightstorm flinched, and leaned back, hesitation visible in her face. After a long beat of patient silence, finally, Brightstorm conceded, gaze turning back downward, and ears pinning back.

"... It... It's Eagleburn."

Sword of God

The Past

Pairing: spn Charakter x reader

Warnings: death

Summary: When one day Sam and Dean Winchester needed her help, she didn't know that the decision to help them would change her whole life.

Masterlist:

Hi guys! This is my first story I've ever written and English is not my first language either, so there could be mistakes in the text and the grammar could be wrong, but I hope you like it anyway. Love Helena

Many moons ago when God created Adam and Eve, he created from a piece of wood of the forbidden tree a woman as beautiful as an angel with black curly hair, piercing green eyes and a smile that shines brighter than Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.And her name was Isabella. Just like Eve, she was created to serve a man and in her case it was Cain.

Her beauty and kindness was not only known to people but also to the archangels, especially Lucifer the morning star desired her beauty. Against all the laws that existed, Lucifer approached her and fell in love. His goal was to win her heart and make her his queen, but her love already belonged to someone else. Every day he meets her until she looked more into him and began to long for him. But their love doesn't last long. When Cain killed Abel, she tried to save him, but she died in this attempt. Full anger fought Lucifer against Cain until he stood on the threshold of death. When Lucifer wanted to strike the last blow, two angels held him back and a third gave Cain the Cain’s Mark.But the torture he got was not enough, Lucifer wanted more, he wanted his bright star back.

So he made a deal with God. He wanted Isabelle to live again, but she should be much stronger and more powerful than before. He wanted her to become immortal so that he would never have to live without her again.

To his surprise, God accepted the deal, only under one condition Lucifer should not get too close to her and never tell her the truth about her past. Lucifer looked expectantly at the earth and waited. Minutes turned into hours and hours into days and after the seventh day he saw her. As promised, she was more beautiful and stronger than before. But one thing was new, she had wings, beautiful bright white wings. Desperate, he Looks for God and when he finally found him, he got the answer. God not only brought her back to life, he made her the first prophet and she was to be known under the name, God's sword. She should destroy the evil on earth and be his warrior.

Lucifer was able to stay away from her for a few centuries until one day. He went to his favourite place on earth, it was a beautiful clearing in the forest with an old wooden swing and there she sat, even more beautiful than the day he saw her for the first time. He forgot the promise and started talking to her, laughing with her and finally kissing her. For centuries he waited for this moment, when he slowly broke the kiss apart and looked her in the eyes. But she went up in flames right in front of him. You could hear her screams from miles and Lucifer, who stood right in front of her, couldn't do anything to help her until nothing from her was left.

Angry, he confronted God. "Why did she had to die, why"? He screamed. „You, samael, broke your promise, so I broke mine.“ God Said Camly "You will regret this, I will take revenge on you"! that were Lucifer's last words then he disappeared. And when he came back, he started a rebellion against God. He killed dozen of angels.He fought as hard as he could against his brother Michael but he couldn't win and he was locked in the cage of hell.

Now he sat on the floor of the cage surrounded by bars, humiliated by his brother and greedy for revenge. But still, only one question went through his head, will I ever see my love again.

A short list of students attending [insert name] college of witchcraft and symbolic magic with their race and symbol

Claire Celeste Estrella | Human | Amber Star | The protagonist. Full of anxiety, bless her heart, girlie has no idea what she wants to do with her life after she graduated high school. Has a bit of a hyperfixation on horror, death, and funeral practices (just like me fr).

Heather Dean Forester | Human | Green Hydrangea (Limelight) | Basically Claire's brother, they are childhood best friends. He's the only one who calls her Celeste for the most part. The one who first discovered magic for both of them, and also the only one of the two with a job and his own car. Also has no idea what to do with his life but fuck it we ball oh shit there's magic that's cool hey claire let's just hop dimensions lol

London River Knight | God-Abandoned: Wolf | Lavender Moon | One of Heather and Claire's dorm mates at the college. Also full of extreme anxiety (what's up with this new Celestial trio, the previous one wasn't like this, were they?) but this one is scared of a common superstitious prophecy present in the Other World that is a common trope in media on top of being pretty widely believed in. When I first made him he was a self indulgent Cool Goth Werewolf Witch and now he's grown up to be So Shaky I swear

Serra Mun | God-Touched: Cat | Hot Pink Cherry | The other dorm mate of Heather, Claire, and London. He's also long time frenemy of London, and they didn't plan on dorming together but alas fate brought them together so he could annoy the hell out of London. Serra is also the first character I made for this story and his design is so inconsistent I keep wanting to give him scars or an eyepatch but forget other times and it's just a mess (love him though). I'm not sure if I'll ever make London x Serra canon but lord do I Think About Them

Daphne Rosa Clover | Elf | Water Lily | "Omg flowy mint green outfits and pink hair and flower crowns and white star shapes makeup freckles to look like a mushroom she must be so cutesy and nice and innocent" WRONG she is a HUGE NERD ABOUT DEATH AND THE DARKER ASPECTS OF MAGIC. People from the Other World have tales and warnings about what happens to people who delve too deep into like the physics of magic rather than the philosophy of magic like everyone else and how they all go INSANE and DIE and daphne looks at them and goes "we really know nothing about magic despite it being so prevalent in our lives and also wdym by insane guys its [other world equivalent of 2023] u should know better" The type of person to pick up roadkill so she can study its anatomy then lay it to rest respectfully and then get lost in thought about the role it plays in the ecosystem even in death (if only there were cars in the Other World like on earth)

Pippa Jane Owen | Human | Dandelion | By huge coincidence, she went to school with Heather and Claire. She received the book the two used for the enrollment ritual firsthand from a Mysterious Source, and decided to leave it for someone else to find because she thought someone else would like to also learn magic. Very sweet, love her dearly, terrifyingly adept at using magic in extremely creative ways for a human.

Nova Éliane Jones | Human | Blue Sun | The last third of the Celestial trio. Totally unfazed by her near instant popularity upon entering the college when everyone found out her symbol and was excited to see if the rest of the prophetic trio would arrive too for the first time in centuries. Not as good as Pippa in terms of sheer creativity and fluidity in magic, but she's very determined when it comes to perfecting magic one spell at a time.

Halia Ka Hiwa Kapule | Human | Crimson Hibiscus | Similar popularity to Pippa and Nova by association, but a lot more reserved. While Pippa learns by exploring magic by herself and Nova is by the books, Halia is competitive with herself and an observer, taking note of what does and doesn't work for others and how it can apply to herself, so people only see her get things right on the "first try." Very distinguished, love me a turtleneck under a fitted jacket

Dragonfly Saccharum "Sock" Elm | Elf | Pink Feather | Local prankster prone to messing with underclassmen with tall tales about the horrible/amazing things they've seen and done with magic, since most people of the Other World never learn symbolic magic outside of college. Acts like a cool older sibling to the Weird Freshmen offering advice that is rarely useful. Everyone calls them Sock.

Divya Deshmukh | Human | Gold Hourglass | One of the few humans born in the Other World. Best Friend to Sock, except a lot less chaotic than Sock and way more studious. I'm lying Sock is a saint next to Divya don't trust their cool exterior they are SO elaborate in their revenge and pranks, not to mention how they figured out how to use their magic in really subtle and almost unnoticeable ways by breaking down their hourglass symbol into multiple parts of the glass and sand separately. Great person to get on their good side though, always excited to talk about a cool trick they learned with their magic and how it could be translated to other symbols, but damn if they aren't SINISTER and OFFPUTTING once you figure out their small movements that tell you when they're lying or secretly using magic

Bela Briar True | Cryptid: Vampire Elf | Wisteria | Vampires aren't real, stop perpetuating this rumor, Bela isn't a vampire they're just creepy.

Yvenna | Elf+? | Red Anemone Flower | Ok so it turns out with the way the Alltongue spell works on humans from Earth, the term for people like Yvenna actually gets interpreted (at least in English) as Vampire, so that being said YVENNA ALL THE NEW STUDENTS FROM EARTH THINK YOURE A WEIRDO AND CREEPY FOR TELLING THEM TO WATCH OUT FOR BELA BECAUSE THEYRE A VAMPIRE

Marigold | Elf | Salt | Ok we get it the previous Star Witch was like the Father of modern Yonderworld necromancy but that doesn't mean the new one will be a prodigy at or even be interested, stop pestering her based on a centuries old prophecy that's been telephone'd to hell

Welwitschia | Stitched | Blue Teacup | Again with this? This student died a year ago in front of you, you didn't even know her

Ok, so Kalle is Demerzel's ex wife. I'm calling it now.

I did say that I wouldn't bother you with the full account of my watching and I won't. But come on, I HAVE to share a bit, don't i?! So anyway, I'm starting episode 5 now. I have a lot on my mind about the previous episodes as well, I've tried to write it down as it happened.

First things first, and no offense, but if your "Prophet" takes one look at you, and the only nice thing he can say is "you have a fine suit" then maybe it's time to reevaluate your life's choices.

I wish a nun would lay it on me the way Constant went after Mallow. Nuns are married to God. If a nun is telling me that she wants to bed me, I'm not going to think twice about it. I'm cuckholding God and that's it.

Raych deserved fucking better. He got fucked over big time and I will never be ok about it. He just wanted to love and do right by humanity, and Hari used him because he lacked courage. He should've found it in himself to fall onto the knife on his own. It's not that hard, I've been stabbed before (true story). I mean it's bad. It hurts like Hell. But damnit, he didn't know that! It was his first time, he should've just fallen onto it and voilà!

I dislike Sareth a bit less. I find her whole entourage boring (sorry to anyone who might be offended here) but her boldness is refreshing. They're all stupid though. Cleon XII would've seen right through their bullshit a long while ago!

I'm pissing myself laughing "the man needs to be on top" he's so lame. The way he closed his robe after she left. He's so teenage boy coded. Demerzel didn't teach him shit! This is a disgrace, you have a robot lady, she knows basically everything, she could teach anyone how to become a sex god, and all you know of sex is that "men be on top". Pathetic.

FUCK YOU HUGO IS BACK?! FUCK ME THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE WANTED (it feels weird though… It's… really him? It better be him or i'm going to kill someone). Alright, i'm going to kill someone. I'm very angry now. You don't use my dude like that. I was excited. Nope. I'm super sad :(

Ok episode is over. This was weird. A room full of telephaths? I'd just keep sing to myself "Cotton Eyed Joe" until they all start vomiting. I could defeat Charles Xavier, I ain't no scared of no Lady in White! (I don't trust her at all. Dressing in all white like that is so evil. White is so hard to keep clean, especially in a forest. The laundry on this place must be a nightmare! Whoever authorized that is evil.)

FNG

Ohoho! Let's break this down.

... Under the cut in case of further spoileriness...

Kalle as Demerzel's ex-wife - I didn't think of that and now it seems to be the only thing that makes sense! Spouses to bitter rivals, both having access to cloning technology and both wanting a piece of Hari for their nefarious / benevolent purposes! What could go wrong??? I must also inform you that Foundation community is preemptively very intrigued by your idea!

The number of times Hari complimented his suit made me feel like the line is a bit of a Chekhov's gun... Let's see what grisly end the fella with the fine suit will meet...

Hober - yeah, idk what the guy was thinking!

Raych - first of all... WHAT - you've been stabbed before!!! Glad to hear you're alright after the ordeal. It's a good point you're making though - it was cowardly of Hari to do that. He could have just let Raych escape while killing himself, but he was too weak. It's pretty clear that he feels very guilty over that, and naturally Gaal being less than happy over it doesn't help.

Sareth - yes... the "old" Empire wouldn't have this whole marriage plot to begin with and would never have anyone question them so boldly without being immediately killed. I suppose it only took a couple of generations for things to go to absolute shit. LOL at your judgement of her entourage. Respect. I am not a fan of the actress' skillset but I do appreciate Sareth as a character being dogged in her pursuit of finding out whether Day had executed her whole family. That's admirable. And she gets massive points for laughing at his lack of performance.

Last season, I was naturally a massive proponent of Demerzel and Cleons. This Day's pathetic nature is so POTENT that not only do I cringe every time they are together, but I find him barely watchable. And in a sense, I mean this in a good way - great acting from Lee Pace - this Cleon is a hoot.

Hugo... yes.... I think everyone is unanimous in this opinion!

LOL at Cotton Eye Joe - THANKS A LOT, that's going to be my theme music for Mentalics and that whole plot. Yeah, no comment. In general, I find telepathy in sci-fi pretty goofy, and it's VERY of the period for when Asimov wrote that. Apparently, it all traces back to one prominent editor at the time who LOVED that theme and a big chunk of authors ended up going with that trend. And now we see it play out on screen yet again!

THANKS FOR YOUR UPDATE, FNG! Please rate the episodes so far on a scale from 1 to 10 for each episode!

The Dark Prophet

"Have you considered that your supposedly infallible ancestors might not be so perfect...?"

Sol's design for an AU I've been cooking up for a long time where Sol, in contrast to the three, is the arbiter of the dark forest.

Here's the basic rundown of the AU: Sol becomes the medicine cat apprentice as opposed to a warrior and is really skilled at connecting to StarClan. So skilled, in fact, that cats believe anything he says so long as he passes it off as a prophecy or omen. Realizing this, he begins to fake prophecies and omens or twisting them in order to abide by his own morals or to get back at certain cats who might have wronged him. Horrified and angry, StarClan refuses to speak with him, but tbh Sol didn't even really need them, as he was so good at faking omens and prophecies that he could easily keep up the ruse.

Eventually though, Echosong realizes what's going on and goes to Leafstar about this. Leafstar is furious but wants to at least give him a chance and tell him to knock it off before jumping to exile. But when she does so, Sol fakes a prophecy about Leafstar being a secret tyrant and calling for her execution. But his own hubris is what destroys him, as cats realize how far of a leap this is and corner him and, caving to the pressure, Sol admits that most his omens and prophecies were faked.

SkyClan kicks him out and Sol is forced to wander the edges of their territory. He is a terrible hunter though and nearly starves to death, until Shredtail, a dark forest cat, visits him. Shredtail offers to teach him how to survive, as long as Sol agrees to do whatever he says. Sol desperately agrees, although he doesn't like it, as he knows Shredtail is manipulating him. But hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Shredtail teaches Sol how to hunt and even how to fight, which he sucks at, but he's at least a decent hunter. Shredtail then tells him what his end of the bargain is; in return for saving Sol, he must agree to become a prophet for the dark forest. Sol was like, "That's it? Yeah, fuck StarClan, no problem dude!" and Shredtail was really surprised by that but he sure as hell wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

So Sol gains the power of illusions, foresight, being able to influence cat's thoughts, and can easily channel dark forest cats and give them physical forms. He acts as a dark mirror to the three and works to make the clans lose faith in StarClan and guides cats into the clutches of the dark forest. The eclipse happens during the dark forest battle and is actually an illusion

That's kinda all for now, but I'll probably add more later.

EDIT: Completely forgot to add, but Sol's backstory is heavily inspired by Tennelleflower's Power of Three rewrite

The Dreamkin

The day’s events flashed through her mind, pushing its claws into her heart and turning her blood to ice. Why didn’t they believe her? Why? She shuddered as she remembered seeing the gods, remembering the visions and warnings they forced onto her. So much death... She didn’t dream it. She didn’t. She didn’t. She couldn’t have. This was real.

“Why would the gods speak to a lawbreaker?” Marigold yowled, a mask of fury and disgust plastered on her face. Dreams knew the routine too well by now. She saw the delight on Marigold’s face at another opportunity to rip into her, to humiliate and hurt. Everyone else, meanwhile, was blind to it. “Only oracles have the privilege to speak to the gods. Even if she was speaking the truth, why would they speak to such a sad excuse of a colony cat?”

No. It can’t end like this. She felt her paws moving, and before she even realized what she was doing, she had silently moved past the main room and out into the settlement. Her eyes settled on the nestings, and her brain caught up to her paws. She couldn’t save the forest, and the colonies had turned her back on her. Maybe she couldn’t have to save everyone, but she could save someone…

By the Squirrel’s tail, was she really going to do this?

After Dreams left the festival, worry and anxiety kept her up throughout the night. Something was absolutely wrong. She couldn't stay, but she couldn't just leave her colony to die. Impulsively, Dreams sneaked into the nestings and stole the only litter within- three kits, just weaned off their mother. Dreams fled into the night, and that morning, the colonies were gone, leaving her alone with her three children.

Heart of Ember

[Image ID: Heart of Ember, a tortie molly with green eyes. Drawn by FelisChaos on TH. End ID]

A striking reflection of Dreams when she was in her youth, Ember is a stubborn, brash, and loud molly who tries to see the best in everyone. When the three were young, the Followers of the Lynx had found them and offered Dreams and them a place to live among them. While her mother refused, Heart of Ember would later return to accept that offer in her mother's stead.

Acting as their healer, Ember was fortunate to find a place welcoming of her and her opinions. Dreams had become known as many things over the years- a lost saint, a failed oracle, a cowardly demon. To Ember, Dreams was nothing less than an angel, and boasted her relationship to her often. In a world where many still see Dreams as a liar and false prophet, her stubbornness and conviction has flared up in defense of her mother, especially amongst family.

Dreams and Ember's relationship grew strained, as well as amongst her siblings. Ember only saw her mother's past, not who she was now- a broken, tired woman. Dreams feels like she failed Ember in some way, while her siblings often disagreed on how they viewed their mother. Despite everything though, Ember cares fiercely for all of them, and has put aside her differences to visit or help them when needed.

Breeze of Dawn

Breeze of Dawn grew up with a deep, hungry curiosity for the world, always wanting to know more about how it worked. The medicines and plants his mother taught him about sated him for a long, long time, and it took Dawn much longer to leave her side than his other siblings did. By the time he left, he felt lost- he knew he wanted to help others, to make a difference, but how?

Dawn eventually found a group called the Dreamers- three cats who dedicated themselves to helping others who couldn't help themselves. The issue was, however, that they were repenting for their mistakes. For speaking out against Dreams, his mother, and dooming the colonies. Despite their origins, Dawn joined, wanting to just help. He didn't care how they started or what they had done, and decided to hide his past in favor of the future.

His tongue grew sharp as his view of the world grew (why did the world he love so dearly have to have so many morons in it??), and his relationship with his mother worsened. Dreams, reasonably, despised the Dreamers and wanted her son to stay far far away, while Dawn argued that he was helping cats and saving lives by working with them. The two, firm in their stances, decided to drop the subject entirely. But the issue continues to worsen in their silence, and the two grow more distant.

Riddle of Raven

Taking most from his mother, Raven was always a quiet and soft person. None of the siblings had ever heard him raise his voice, or grow angry with them- only once had it ever happened. Dreams had never hid that she had adopted the three, feeling too guilty to ever lie like that, but she had hid their parents fate. She told them they had both died during the Final Light. The reality was, she had no clue. Raven was furious, and the two had fought.

He never held their adoption, their upbringing, none of it against her. He was mad that she hid that their parents might be alive. That she took them without ever wondering if their birth mother stayed up at night, believing the three to be dead. The thoughts haunted him. By the time he was old enough to leave, Raven went to try and find the truth about their parents. Dead or alive, he just wanted to get some closure.

For a year it's eaten up at him, with little to no success on finding anything out. He eventually apologized to Dreams for his outburst, and the two started mending their relationship slowly afterwards. His relationship with Ember meanwhile soured as she refused to believe their mother was in the wrong. Dawn and him remained close however, with Dawn trying to convince Raven to join him with the Dreamers. While the offer was tempting, Raven still wants to close off the missing chapter of his life, deciding only to go with his brother when he finally learned the truth.

#Literally none of them share an artstyle lmao #Finally got this done. Took me long enough rip #I wanted all three to have varying views on Dreams ranging from really good (Ember) to Not The Best (Dawn/Raven)#Sorta ended up with Ember thinking Dreams is a demigod and Dawn/Raven going 'Ember why. shes a 50 year old woman leave her alone'#ALSO THIS WAS THE BACKPACK THING. FUCK U DAWN U TOOK SO FUCKING LONG WITH UR FUCKING BACKPACK AUUUGH #final light #neverlight era #call of dreams #breeze of dawn #riddle of raven #heart of ember #wip #characters #art #writeblr #writing #worldbuilding #dreamkin

The best Reylo Fanfics I read in 2021

(Not necessarily written in 2021)

Of the 250+ fics I read last year, here are the ones that didn't make it onto any specific rec lists I made, but enjoyed very much!

(Don't forget to check out my All Time Favourite Fic list!)

before we go. by AquaWolfGirl | @aquawolfgirl | Explicit | 13k | Complete | Historical AU | vague Medieval setting | War | Knights/generals | One night stand | I-dont-want-to-die-a-virgin type encounter | Multi POV | "On the eve before the battle against their enemies, General Rey Jakksun seeks out General Kylo Ren. There are others she could have gone to in their camp, sure, but of all the men there, she decides to ask him to teach her pleasure -- something she's never known and wants to experience once before she dies in the morning." | Brilliant and beautiful and steamy. Love Rey's charcterization and Ben's family. A wonderful smutty story that lifts one's spirits. First chapter can be read alone as an open-ended one shot, but the 2nd adds a super satisfying HEA.

Practice Makes Perfect by violethoure666 | Explicit | 15k | Complete | Modern AU | Co-workers | The Office vibes | Pretend relationship | Virgin!ben solo | loss of virginity | no-strings-attached type thing | Pining | Angst/Drama | "Grumpy Ben Solo gets asked out by Jessica Pava, the hottest girl in the office. The only problem is that he's a 29 year old virgin who doesn't wanna make an ass of himself with the aforementioned hottest girl in the office. Rey offers to help him get all the awkward and embarrassing stuff out of the way before his big date. Everyone can definitely stay cool and not catch feelings. No big deal." | Rom-com perfect! So steamy and sexy and funny and romantic!

Here's to more amazing fics in 2022!🥂
