I wanna talk about my WoL SO HERE WE GO.
Name: Aeryn Kaeda
Age: 30
Height: 6'1"
Gender: She/Her
Orientation: Pansexual, Demiromantic
Main Classes: White Mage, Red Mage, Reaper, Dark Knight
Crafting: Weaver, Culinarian
Appearance: Tall, lithe, broad-shouldered. Years and years of traveling and fighting have chipped away at a previously softer figure. She has scars, of course, although the most obvious is from where Zenos slashed her during In Crimson It Began.
Aeryn has tanned skin with red hair, but her overuse and desperate weaponization of white magic during the end of ARR/beginning of Heavensward has led to discoloration of her hair, and a significant loss of vision in her right eye. She can mostly see light/shadow and shapes, but has to use aether in much the same way Y'shtola has to in order to see 100%. This puts her at a disadvantage splitting her focus, so she doesn't do it for long periods.
Background: Aeryn's mother left the jungle shortly after she was born, settling in to Kugane where Aeryn was raised. Dismissing traditional Viera customs in relationships, her mother settled down with a Raen man and his two daughters. The family ran a weavers/clothing shop in Kugane where Aeryn learned how to sew and craft clothing at a young age, while also learning archery with her mother. A sense of wanderlust always plagued her, inspiring Aeryn to sneak out of Kugane where she finds herself in The Black Shroud.
The forests whisper to Aeryn, and a year into trying to make a living for herself doing small chores and sewing and mending clothes she is approached by the conjuring guild. That, coupled with the Echo manifesting sets her up for the events of ARR to begin.

Clock Hands by royalgreen (62504, Mature)
Reccer's Content Notes: None
Alternate take on canon where Essek and Caleb start a relationship, leading into an alternate Rumblecusp arc
Reccer says: Great pining, sweet fluffy bois, fantastic worldbuilding, and a mystery
Touching Sentiments by Chanse (SpottedEnchants) (239244, Teen)
Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
This slice-of-life, interconnected collection of premises explores, among many things, the concept of Essek as both touch-averse and touch-starved, and how this might affect his relationships with the Mighty Nein.
Reccer says: I love how the author handles Essek's conflicting needs, and his relationship with all of the Nein (especially Caleb). It's so soft.
Wild Magic Surges by literalfuckinggarbage (10385, General)
Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Character studies of each wizard turning into a child version of themself through a wild magic surge in Aeor.
Reccer says: They are so sweet and precious as children! And all of the Nein’s voices are perfect
Among the Tattered Ruins by Cardinal_Daughter (33320, Explicit)
Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Post canon getting together in Aeor, being domestic/sexy in Caleb’s house and meeting family.
Reccer says: I liked it!
Essek Thelyss' Lingerie Collection by CircaTheKnowledgeable (19490, Explicit)
Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Essek Thelyss is given his first set of lingerie and finds a confidence in it that he has not had in a long time. Caleb loves it too.
Reccer says: Hot!
Shadowgast Omegaverse by firefright (54283, Explicit)
Reccer's Content Notes: Omegaverse
alpha!Caleb and omega!Essek fall into a relationship right before the peace talks. This explores that and continues on
Reccer says: It's always wonderful to find a good a/b/o series, and this fits that beautifully
Catch A Falling Star (Critical Role) by RainyDayDecaf (32921, Mature)
Reccer's Content Notes: Choose Not to Warn, Graphic Depictions of Violence
The Mighty Nein find more than a Beacon in the sewers of Zadash. They also find a drow wizard and prisoner of war.
Reccer says: Mostly pre-relationship, the slow build is lovely! Heart wrenching at times and amusing at others.

Reccer's Content Notes: Choose Not to Warn
A Scourger!Bren AU that has Bren and Essek playing cat-and-mouse in political intrigue, spy games, and increasingly complicated emotions

Reccer's Content Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Essek and Caleb have bedroom issues and summon an echo. The Echo is from a timeline where Bren remained a Volstrucker. They make things work.
Reccer says: This fic series focuses on relationship dynamics, intimacy, repression, and vulnerability. Caleb's journey into accepting a Dom role has to do with healing from a lot of trauma, and it's wonderful watching him be taught by Bren, who inadvertently is also healing from trauma by doing so. Plus, there's cross-timeline matchmaking for Bren and his own timeline's evil Shadowhand.

Reccer's Content Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Slice of life romance fics that capture the fulness of the love blooming between two wizards in exandria
Reccer says: athenavine really captures the characters voices, and the pace the romance moves at is just delicious. the descriptions are visceral and immersive and the fic updates very reliably and regularly. the series is emotionally compelling and spicy and exciting and it takes place over a span of time that feels like i really get a peek into all the important moments between my two favorite exandrian wizards. 10/10, will scream for anybody to read it, highly reccommend
And then we have two recs for this last one!
Field On Fire (Not the Actual Events) by Defiler_Wyrm (60535, Explicit)
Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes, Contains a couple of monsterfucking scenes, but it’s still Shadowgast
From the depths of Aeor to a peace beyond, Caleb and Essek come together and explore their relationship—and each other—thoroughly.
Reccer 1 says: I’m entirely biased, but I like the balance of fluff and smut with a bit of humor and a pinch of angst, and how no two sex scenes are truly the same.
Reccer 2 says: Top quality smut, Essek being competent as hell, Caleb being super slutty, I love all of it
Aeor is for Lovers is an 18+ Shadowgast Discord server. The above fanfic recommendations were pulled from our community for this weekly event.

Reccer 1 Says: I enjoyed it!
Reccer 2 Says: Adorable Fjorester flirting. All the sexual tension of that one sword fight between Fjord and Eadwulf. Unstoppable force (Jester Lavorre) meets immovable object (the world's most miserable, wretched wet dog of a scourger.)

Astrid and Eadwulf take it upon themselves to save Essek from himself.
Two scourgers show up at Essek's home to interrogate him about the Mighty Nein. Then he discovers that both of them are also uselessly pining over Caleb. Then, he gets closer than advisable.
Reccer 1 Says: the character dynamics and banter are absolutely top notch. the author really nails the character voices.
Reccer 2 Says: I enjoyed it!
Reccer 3 Says: An alternate ending to C2 with a great balance of intrigue, angst, slow-burn romance, and fluff (if you can count three wizards lying to each other for fun as fluff.)

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺Star Crossed Haters ༻ੈ✩‧₊˚
A/N: Hey guys - me and Nyota (the lovely @labaguetteisdabest) decided we would post chapters of SCH weekly on here so you guys can read it!Each chapter alternates between the two MCs’ perspectives - the character name will be the chapter title for clarification:) The art below is not made by me, purely just AI with slight adjustments by myself. You can find the masterlist here:★
Just a heads up on some things : Mentions of self-burning (not on purpose), enemies to lovers, fantasy + royal universe, both MCs are cisgender females, and gay. Homophobes stay away!!
Chapter One: Apex
“Miss Ape- Adrienne!”
“What is it?” I say, glancing in the mirror before me. Just my luck that I have some dumb appearance to make before I finally get to go home.
I adjust the dark red hair that covers the right side of my disfigured face. My fingers trace the edge of the scar that stretches across, and I shudder. Even after having it for nine years now, it never got more normal.
Perfect, I think. You could barely see my right eye.
My chambermaid, Eudora, waves a hand in front of my face.
“You realize that you need to practice your Reya more, yes?” she questions.
“Yes, I know,” I grumble. “And I need to practice my thermodynamic vision.”
“Stop taking your Reya for granted,” Eudora chides. “Your own brother rejected his and look how he’s turned out.”
A man who has nothing to worry about.
My voice lowers to a mumble. “And I’m starting to wonder if he made the right choice.”
Reyas are only granted to lucky children, each from a different patron god, which depended on your kingdom. Fujimura, my kingdom, has the patron goddess Vohona, the goddess of fire. Which I find mildly ironic, as Fujimura means “wisteria village.”
At this rate, I feel like I would’ve been better off rejecting my Reya. But after my brother – Daxton's – rejection, my parents (Queen Fiamma and King Adish Pyracent) were desperate. And my little brother, Covyn, was only one year old at the time- and according to my parents, another 5-year wait was far too long.
“Adrienne. The faster you get through this, the faster you get home. Your family back in Dodomi eagerly awaits you, I’m sure,” Eudora reminds me. I hate that she’s right.
I make the mistake of looking back at her. Her dark curls spill across her shoulders, and warm brown eyes stand out on her pale face. The bright red flower she keeps tucked behind her right ear falls a little bit, and I want to reach out and fix it. But she would find that weird because she’s not like me.
Eudora pushes her thin, round glasses back a bit and notices me staring at her.... I feel my cheeks warm, and to get out of the awkwardness, I abruptly stand up.
“I should, uh, probably head out to the training grounds for a few more minutes,” I blurt out and dash out of the room.
I walk outside into the bright sunshine, and even though I'm wearing a black turtleneck, I feel comfortable at this temperature.
The orientation of each element’s training area changes daily, so I scan my surroundings, activating my thermodynamic vision. The reds, greens, and blues that replace all other colors are comforting. My eyes are immediately drawn to the deep blues of the ice training area, and lo and behold, there she is.
Kaeda Cynet.
Her and her stupidly shimmering dark hair and her dumb ice-pale skin and sharp eyes.
I can’t stop looking.
Kaeda is the crown princess of Khaenpanii, Fujimura’s rival kingdom. My rival in our quest to become the Syla of our generation.
Power. Strength. Royalty.
The title of Syla bestows a great honor upon you and your kingdom.
And Kaeda’s stupid kingdom keeps stealing the chance away from any other!
Generation after generation, almost every single Syla has come from Khaenpanii. It’s absolutely outrageous. I can remember maybe twice when Fujimura held the title.
I snap myself out of my rant when I finally spot the small flames of the candles I’m well accustomed to training with. Jogging over to them, I switch back to regular vision, taking a moment to adjust to the onslaught of color.
The candles.
The small flame atop them.
It's disappointing, really, that they’re all I’ve been able to train with for ten years now.
A swish of my finger strengthens a flame. Then another. Then the third.
Feed me. Let the flames engulf you. Feed me. Feed me. FEED ME FEED ME FEED ME-
I take a deep breath, and slowly, the starved calls cease.
A triumphant smirk spreads across my face, and I turn my gaze to Kaeda, hoping to see less success over with her. Alas, she turns the cup of water before her into fragile ice.
My thermodynamic vision tells me that the ice is 32º Fahrenheit, which isn’t nearly as good as a typical day. Unfortunately for her, today is exceptionally warm.
I clear my mind and focus on the heated air surrounding me. Fast-moving molecules, as expected. The flames before me have the same result.
I tell myself I need more practice, but truly, I’m ready.
Wandering past Kaeda, I flick my index finger, heating the breeze blowing past her ice block. A frown decorates her typically joyful face when she notices it dripping, and she whips her head around. She sees that I’m the culprit and her frown becomes a sour look.
My face remains devoid of emotion. Her grey-blue eyes stare deep into my bright teal ones, and we maintain eye contact for a second too long. I feel my cheeks heat, and hers take on a slightly red tint.
Kaeda looks away from me and says, “What was that for?!”
I simply reply with, “Revenge.”
And I walk away.
When she’s out of my sight, reaching under my red hair, I touch my scar again. Revenge for giving me this thing.
I had been eight years old, practicing my fire control skills. Growing flames was easy but calming them was a different story.
I stared at the flame before me, struggling to keep my mind over the one of the fire.
Feed me. Feed me. FEED ME FEED ME FEED ME-
This time, I had succumbed to the calls.
The blaze towered before me, and I realized too late that I had set the candle far too close to me. Sparks spewing from the inferno flew onto my face, and to try to protect at least part of my face, I had turned to the left.
By then, the flames had been as tall as me, and the right side of my face exploded in pain. I cried out and focused as much as I could, but to no avail. I couldn’t muster enough focus. It hurt too much.
Why isn’t anyone helping me?
I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing for the pain to go away.
“Make it stop!” I wanted to shriek. It hurt too much for me to even utter a single word.
“Adrienne!” Kaeda’s voice filled the air. I heard the sound of the flames crackling to a stop. “Take your hand off your face.”
I gingerly lifted it, like she instructed.
Kaeda gasped, and I kept my eyes shut. If I opened them, it would hurt so much.
“Please, open your eyes. Can you see?” she asked.
“It’ll hurt too much. I don’t want to.” My voice was shaky, and I wasn’t about to start crying in front of Kaeda, with her perfect hair and face and perfect everything.
“Please!” she pleaded. I had reluctantly obeyed, and the shock of pain was less startling than I had expected.
When I looked at the crown princess of Khaenpanii, she almost had... tears in her eyes?
Was she worried about me? Her rival?
I watched as she painted a pained smile on her face, telling me thanks without saying a single word. She lifted her right hand and her fingertips turned paler than before, which was saying something. Kaeda flicked her hand towards the burned side of my face, tiny snowflakes flying out.
I grimaced when they hit my face, and Kaeda began spewing apologies when she saw she had made me hurt more.
My voice was even shakier than before when I said, “I don’t care. P-please just go get someone.”
She had nodded and run off.
I can barely remember what happened next.
I remember the vague sensation of hitting the solid concrete floor, and then darkness.
Waking up and feeling... different.
Feeling... changed.
Feeling... angry.
If Kaeda had been smarter, she would have run to get an adult almost immediately. But no. She just had to go and try to fix this problem herself. She may have only been seven, and slightly more advanced at her Reya than me (of course she was; just a Khaenpanii thing, I suppose), but she should have had enough logic to go and find an adult.
I hate when anyone sees me at my worst, too, and I was definitely at my worst then. Kaeda saw a private part of me that I try as hard as I can to keep to myself, and that alone warranted my loathing towards her.
When I surface from my deep thoughts, I find myself in my room. The pale red walls have been my home for the past 10 years, and I can’t imagine leaving them tomorrow.
All children with Reyas should go to a special school, should they not? We all have abilities that are far too dangerous to be taught at a regular school, after all. The kingdom of Minsare has the patron god Elektras. Anyone who has a Reya and comes from there reigns over lightning and wind. These kids are awfully powerful, and they cannot be trusted around regular schools. Fujimura children also aren’t allowed to go to normal school after the Reya ceremony, as we can summon an inferno in the blink of an eye.
Watarumi is the island where the previously mentioned school is located. It’s not located near the schools back on Dodomi, the mainland, and only people that have been verified and have Reyas can travel there.
For ten years, since I’ve been six, I’ve lived on Watarumi, training every day. I rarely got to visit my family as studies are more important, meaning my little brother, Covyn, has barely seen me. Dax was always hidden away in his room, so I never saw him anyway. But Covyn gets his Reya soon, and I want to be there. Thankfully, I finally leave this isolated island tomorrow, just in time!
Knock knock!
I glance at the door. What do they want?! I think.
“Princess Adrienne?” Eudora’s soft voice strings into my room. My face immediately reddens, recalling what had happened earlier. “You should start packing for tomorrow now! Remember to take all your stuff. Oh, and, just so you know, your appearance has been cancelled because of weather concerns.”
“Oh- er- yes!” I reply awkwardly. I look out the window and find that she’s right. Huge dark clouds are coming this way, ready for a long, thunderous storm.
Packing. Right.
At least I don’t have to socialize more, I think with a hint of disgust at the mere thought that I would have been forced to do the appearance if not for the weather.
I need to stop rambling and start packing.
A/N: Yay! Chapter One is complete :) Hope you all enjoyed! This chapter was written by the lovely Nyota (she’ll be writing all of Apex’s chapters, and I will be writing all of Kaeda’s). I’ve noticed a ton of writers on this platform do tag lists, so if you want to be tagged to be notified when a new chapter comes out just let me know via ask! Have a great day! Lotsa love from Kae <3

Merry Christmas yume!! ( ˆoˆ )/
izz been a hot minute since I last ask damn. But am back to read the chapters thats been updated (chapter 7-9, scrumptious updates, kinda worth marinating your work for a few weeks of being busy for uni)
so becuz there's already three chapters added imma, just summarized my thoughts
chapter 7 - like how I finally know neru's backstory (since I have like no idea what the characters are in the first place, cuz HENTAI), like how theres like a flashback to their normal lives ◴_◶. Then when they went back, I kinda laugh, cuz what neru said to kaeda was kinda true LOL, like what Kaede did was worse than neru (since kaede's rule was noncon). Then sensei saved the day (gaddamn i cant wait for his turn) and bounded kaede's ass on the ground (hes so hot and strongggg). The nii-san also told neru to shut his ass up (he can shut me up thoo, also cant wait for his turnnnn)
chapter 8 - honestly, didnt remember that there was a bonus game (to be fair i only watched for the devil's tango) BLOWJOB SCENE, WE GOT A BLOWJOB SCENE EVERYONE. (kaede was picked again raaaaa)
chapter 9 - when I read the rin praying scene i was like, "I SMELL CULT SHIT" rinnnn you cult leader mathafacka, hes to devoted and faitful to our lord and savior Jesus Christ maybe. (cant wait for more rin scenes raaaaaaaaaaa) then naoki IZZ SUSPICIOUS LIKE HIGHKEYYYY (photographic memory bullshitttt) you too suspicious but thats what i like about youuuu. Also was creeped out by the consciousness controlling, i wouldve felt violated the moment i realize that someone's fucking with my consciousness. zeennn more kaede scenes (kaede is kinda the star of the show?)
im excited for more naoki and rin scenes since they still arent picked yet they get lesser scenes than kaede and neru. (m least excited about riya, im just not into younger guys and short kings since im already short, like we both CANNOT be short please mah future child will hate me)
-euphoria anon
I hope you had a nice holiday, My Dear Euphoria Anon! 🎉 and I hope Uni is treating you well 🧎♀️
I eat your comments every time, Darling ☠️ It makes me hyperaware of my own writing because sometimes the whore devil takes over, and I tend to miss or forget some details that I put out, so it’s nice to have someone remind me of them lol Darlings, please don’t be as irresponsible as me ☠️
Also confession—I barely remember the anime 😭 I think I watched it once and never again, so I really don’t know what’s happening there, but I’m not following that storyline anyway so…🫡 and Rin is never beating the cult allegations in your eyes, isn’t he 😭 LET HIM COOK 🗣🔥
I swear Kaede may sound like the star of the show (like the main lead in an otome game/anime of some sort) BUT I’M TRYING MY BEST TO GIVE OTHER CHARACTERS SOME TIME TO SHINE 😭 He’s just lucky because he’s the bff and so, Reina would naturally spill the tea with him in mind lol
And Riya is marinating, My Dear Anon—Give him some time 🗣🔥 That boy will surpass his limits (i hope 🧎♀️) He will be the one to spread the short king agenda 🙇♀️🙌

Relationships: Those who know me know I think shipping is tons of fun, and ofc FFXIV sets us up with the perfect setting to indulge. That being said, this will now contain spoilers up through Endwalker!
Y'shtola was Aeryn's first major crush. Her dry sense of humor and sarcasm suit Aeryn's style of humor perfectly. Being new to the area, she also appreciates how absolutely insanely smart and well-read Y'shtola is. The two would spend hours discussing any aspect of history or magic theory - especially as Aeryn made advances as a conjurer into a WHM. Their relationship never progresses outside of flirting and maybe an awkward hand holding here or there. During and after the events of the Bloody Banquet Aeryn fears she loses Y'shtola without being able to tell her how she feels.
Haurchefant is easy to like. Unlike other Ishgardians he is easy to talk to, full of optimism and romanticism about the world. Mourning and exhiled, it is easy for Aeryn to return his flirtation as it becomes something to get her out of bed in the morning. While they become incredibly close friends, their relationship never strays outside of a friends-with-benefits scenario. They become besties in that platonic soulmate kind of way, and anything sexual is no strings attached.
I did absolutely ship Aeryn and Aymeric as an endgame, but Aeryn evolved so much as a character I don't think I could see it working out long-term. There was a spark, maybe, but anything that could have been was quickly buried by the war and trying to make sure Ishgard doesn't fall apart.
After losing Haurchefant, the world becomes very heavy. Aeryn becomes more reclusive, sad, angry. So angry. At some point Estinien and her start to become very argumentative and it totally leads to them, uh, lashing out. Verbally, and then beating the shit out of each other under the guise of sparring which has led to another kind of physical activity once or twice. This leads to a very interesting relationship as the two of them just… start getting along. (Much to Alphinaud's confusion and Ysayle's amusement. She teases them relentlessly.) Getting along is too strong of a word - their insults and fighting have less bite. After Heavensward the two do become pretty solid friends, and now in current msq timeline Estinien is one of Aeryn's closest friends.
Stormblood doesn't really offer Aeryn any New Romance (tm) chances as it's so much running around and political exhaustion the poor thing is just trying to make it through the day.
Emet-Selch. Hades. I uh. Am one of those Azem x Hades people. Shadowbringers features a very exhausted Aeryn. Being the WoL and seen as a savior to the entire planet is kind of a lot. There's a lot of hero worship from total randos, and it weighs on Aeryn. Of course her friends/the scions don't treat her any different than they used to, but she's so tired of being an unstoppable force. In contrast, Emet treats her as weak, as mortal, as someone with flaws. It's a wonderful blend of Y'shtola's dry sarcasm and Estinien's verbal bite. It's refreshing. She doesn't have to worry about breaking him (but gods she wants to). End of Endwalker and she doesn't remember a lot of Azem, but she remembers how she felt back then. And she knows how she feels now.
MEANWHILE. . .
Ok this is cracky AU stuff but Zenos is so good for Aeryn. I mean he isn't. But hear me out. There was nothing until this idiot puppy of a man kept coming back. Infatuated and obsessed and the worst thing is, he's the part of Aeryn she doesn't want to acknowledge. To those she defeats she's the bad guy. She's killed. She's arguably done horrible things and it's only justified because of which side she's on. And she sees that every time she looks at Zenos. And he's strong as hell - there is maybe no one left on Eorzea who matches Aeryn's strength and every fight is one wrong move away from her dying. It's invigorating and she hates him but he's the only one who understands.

I think people are forgetting that neither reader or Az have admitted feelings for eachother. They were just basically fuckbuddies but both had far deeper feelings. Them reacting the way they are can all be solved after there’s been a lot of deep discussions. Az doesn’t know readers feelings go as deep as they do. Reader doesn’t know that Az’s do either. Cassian loves reader but there are no romantic feelings between them. Az is just attracted to Kaeda but is finding her true colors out. Like, since the beginning we knew it would be messy so if you read it thinking it wasn’t then…. Oop. As someone that has has a fwb situationship where feelings were caught maybe I just understand better lmao but idk why people are acting like the characters are irredeemable. Your writing is very realistic and I love it. Don’t let anyone tell you how to write because you do it amazing on your own❤️🔥 love u bestie. I’m clawing at the bars of cage trying to get someone to stick their fingers in while waiting for part 9.
Thank you, you articulated this so well! I had a messy fwb relationship and I’ve poured a lot of that into this 🤷🏻♀️it’s what happens. People act shitty. They learn from it. Rinse and repeat. Thank you, darling! Love you! 🫶🏻

Shadowgast Recs: Featuring Astrid or Eadwulf
This week we have nine recs for fics that feature Astrid and/or Eadwulf behind the cut! Don't forget to comment or kudos on the stories!
Hard Mouth by road_rhythm (216254,Explicit)
Warnings: Generally dark, torture, author chose not to warn.
While the Nein are in Aeor, Trent uses the dream spell to invade Caleb's mind. Things get worse from there.
Reccer says: The writing is extremely vivid and the story engrossing, but I also adore this version of Astrid
More Things than Heaven and Earth by kaeda (76998,Mature)
Warnings: None
Caleb and Essek find themselves transported to what appears to be the plot of Tusk Love.
Reccer says: The fic starts off as a romp but consistently chooses to allow all of the characters a surprising amount of depth. Features a great Astrid and Eadwulf
Neighborhood Watch by timbrene (2800,Teen)
Warnings: None!
Astrid notices a disguised Essek has set up residence at Caleb's home and sets out to investigate what he could be plotting.
Reccer says: Astrid and Eadwulf are both perfect in this, especially Astrid; her certainty that "Bren" is getting manipulated by this Dynasty elf who's definitely a threat to national security is such a funny messed-up Volstrecker twist on being concerned for your friend. It's heartwarming and will put a smile on your face.
look forward lest the past catch up by iniquiticity (11328,Explicit)
Warnings: None
Astrid saves Essek from an assassination attempt, leaving him with a newfound appreciation for his own life.
Reccer says: There's just something about a near death experience that makes you want to go desperately make out with your sort of boyfriend, and this fic really captured that.
do you have enough love in your heart, to go and get your hands dirty? by SaltCore (4355,Mature)
Warnings: Graphic descriptions of violence (offensive dunamancy), mentions of torture
Getting Bren out of a tight spot forced you into uncomfortable company, Astrid. As his friend heals him, take a little time to think about one member of the Mighty Nein, the one who helped, the one you trust the least.
Reccer says: This is a beautiful example of the "Astrid and Essek hissing at each other like angry cats because they're both concerned about Caleb" genre. The prose is gorgeous and very vivid, Astrid's POV is cutting and feels so much like her. All the characters are perfect. Highly recommend it.
you are what we could've been by vagabondfirelilly (2744,General)
Warnings: None
Caleb lets it slip that he is married to Essek, while in the presence of his former lovers.
Reccer says: Very bittersweet, it's lovely to think about Caleb and Essek being married, but between the fic being written from Eadwulf's perspective, and the reaction this revelation illicits from Astrid, there's a real sense of pain and loss from what could've been.
The Annual Rexxentrum Cat Show by hanap (776,Teen)
Warnings: None
Four wizards engage in many shenanigans to try winning the prestigious Annual Rexxentrum Cat Show.
Reccer says: It's fun! All four of this group really show off their wizardly competitive spirit in this fic, and it's a delight to read.
Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most by PryingBlackbird (102212,Mature)
Warnings: Main-character death (gets resurrected), Trent Ikithon, Blumenkids backstory
Astrid, Caleb, Eadwulf and Essek are complicated people who each battle their own demons. Their pahths keep crossing during this alternate retelling of late C2.
Reccer says: It creates a narrative of late C2 that features Astrid and Wulf more heavily and also has some nice Shadowgast slowburn. Also so much angst. The ending is a good one and a bit different from the campaign.
I'd hate to put us up against yesterday by joldiego (1485,Teen)
Warnings: Feeblemind
Caleb and Essek show up at Astrid's place badly hurt; Essek under feeblemind
Reccer says: It's a very promising start, and I love the Astrid point of view
Aeor is for Lovers is an 18+ Shadowgast Discord server. The above fanfic recommendations were pulled from our community for this weekly event. All fics, unless otherwise specified, will primarily feature Shadowgast.Have any questions about what this is?
Check out the FAQ! Next week’s theme is Wild Magic!

“Adagio” (Danganronpa: Kaeda x Shuichi)
———————————
The heat rising in his cheeks just would not go away.
“I can hear yours, Shuichi. It’s a melody I love….”
His heartbeat stuttered at those very few words.
Her voice was such a soothing sound and yet he was flustered and shaky.
Shuichi and Kaeda were laying down on the plush bed of the “Love Hotel” they rest in. One moment, Shuichi was professing his admiration for the pianist he fell for, which led to this very moment.
Kaeda was holding Shuichi tightly, her head on his chest with her ear pressed over when his heart is.
She could hear his heart beating rapidly, at which she couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.
“It’s a melody that’s gentler, more reassuring, and warmer than any other song I’ve ever heard…”
Of course, anything that Kaede did made Shuichi’s heart race but this was a different situation when she could actually hear how much that he bears for her.
th-thump, th-thump
He struggled to slow his pulse with a deep breath or two but it only came out in a shaky exhale.
A sudden “hm?” from Kaede seemed to calm his nerves for a moment.
He looked to see a confused Kaeda rummaging her hand under the pillows of the red bed.
“What’s wrong?”
“I…I think I feel something here.” She replied, removing herself off his chest.
Shuichi watched as she rustled her hands into the pillows.
Her eyes lit up when it seemed like she managed to figure of what lay between the plush pillows.
“I found it!”
Kaeda pulled her hand out from the pillow. What Shuichi saw clutched in her hand made his heart stop beating for a moment.
In Kaede’s hand was a stethoscope, with shining silver earpieces and a long blue tube to match. The detective looked at the bell of the stethoscope gently dangling in midair, blush rising to his cheeks.
“Did…somebody leave this here?” Muttered the pianist, her head tilting to one side.
She looked to the blushing detective, his pale cheeks gone bright red with blush and a flushed expression on his face.
The way she looked at him did not good for his still-pounding heart.
Shuichi imagined those scenes in a cartoon with a character’s heart beating in and out of their chest. Considering how fast his own heart was beating right now, his hand flew up to shield the spot where his organ hammered underneath.
“It’s okay, I just…want to try something …”
The blonde scooted up to Shuichi, sitting on her knees and leaning over him on the bed.
“This might be be a bit cold…”
However, once she pressed the stethoscope’s bell against his shirt, it was very much warm. The sensation made Shuichi’s chest twitch a little from the texture.
th-thump, th-thump, th-thump, th-thump
Shuichi’s heart slammed against the stethoscope on his chest. He could see the bell of the stethoscope bobbing slightly with every beat.
His blush could only deepen to a darker shade.
His eyes darted around the room, trying to direct his attention to somewhere else besides the situation he was in.
But his eyes stopped to glance at Kaeda. Seeing the slight glimmer in her eyes made his lock onto hers.
“It’s okay. You’re going to be okay, I promise.”
Kaede began to move the stethoscope bell across the pulse point on the detective’s chest, every section sound different than the next while still maintaining a rapid tempo.
Smiling the familiar calming smile he knew so well, Kaeda took his hand, pressing it against her own chest.
The palm of his hand was hit with the sensation of her heartbeat, every pulse like a wave soaring on his hand.
“I love you, my maestro…”
————————
A quick Drabble, sorry it’s so rushed….
