I keep seeing people on tiktok listing the most shocking moments of TWD, but they never have all the ones I’m thinking of. So, here’s every moment from TWD that left me thinking “no fucking way they just put that in the show! Wtf did I just watch???” + reasons
*note: I stopped watching after season 8, so anything that happens after that won’t be on this list*
Merle sawing his own hand off (was not expecting self amputations this early on in the series)
Sofia coming out of the barn as a walker & Rick shooting her (I truly thought that Sofia was still alive and they would find her, so this was a total shock. Plus this was the first time I realized that even kids weren’t safe in this show)
Shane killing Otis so that the zombies would eat him instead & Shane could get away (first time, in my opinion, that Shane crossed the line of no return & completely left behind his morality)
Rick killing Shane & Carl shooting zombie Shane afterwards (when Rick talked Shane down, I thought that was going to be the end of it, I didn’t expect Rick to kill Shane afterwards. The part about Carl was a smaller shock, but I really thought he was pointing the gun at Rick for a minute there)
Carl having to shoot Lori to stop her from turning (I had a feeling Lori was going to die, but I never thought that Carl would be able to shoot his own mother like that at 13 years old)
The Governor keeping his zombie daughter locked up in a closet (this just came completely out of left field for me, I didn’t expect it at all)
The Governor shooting all of his people (again, came completely out of left field. Up until this point, I thought the Governor’s logic outweighed his crazy, but apparently not)
Hershel getting beheaded (I knew Hershel was gonna die, but not that he was gonna GET HIS HEAD CHOPPED OFF!!! Plus the fact that the Governor had to take a few swings before the head came completely off)
Lizzie killing Mika (didn’t think that Lizzie was that deranged yet. Sure, she tried to smother Judith before, but I thought her own sister would be an exception)
Carol executing Lizzie (being forced to kill a deranged child for the greater good of the group was not a place I thought this show was gonna go. When Carol and Tyreese were talking beforehand and Carol kept saying “she can’t be around other people”, I vividly remember thinking “so what’re they gonna do? Leave her by herself somewhere? Cause the only other option is killing her and they wouldn’t do that.” I was wrong)
The claimer trying to rape Carl (going in, I was already expecting there to be SA’s against the women in the show cause every apocalypse show seems to feel the need to include rape in some capacity. However, I was not expecting it to happen to Carl. I knew TWD could be dark, but never in a million years did I expect them to be dark enough to include attempted CHILD RAPE against the main character’s 14 YEAR OLD son)
Rick biting Joe’s throat out & gutting the pedophile (I knew Rick would never let something like that happen to Carl, but I didn’t expect that level of rage & bloodlust, especially when we’d spent a whole season with lame ass Farmer Rick. Ngl though, I was cheering so loudly when he did this, it was completely deserved)
Terminus (I never trusted it, but I was not expecting CANNIBALS)
Pete killing Reg & Rick executing him for it (I didn’t think Pete was that crazy & I definitely didn’t expect his punishment to be that immediate)
Carl getting his eye shot out (I knew Carl lost an eye before I started the series, but I didn’t expect it to happen like that)
Negan killing Glenn & Abraham (I didn’t expect BOTH of them to die + the manner in which they died, obviously)
Carl getting bit (I really thought he was gonna make it to the end)

Reunion
Pairings: Daryl Dixon x teen!reader, Tyreese Williams x teen!reader, Carol Peletier x teen!reader, Judith Grimes x teen!reader (all platonic obviously)
Requested by Anonymous: when the prison fell you and Daryl got separated, this is how you meet up, based on this request
Warnings: mention of blood, fighting, mention killing walkers/zombies, killing people, Daryl hug (yes that’s a warning), knives, guns, mention of killing kids, Terminus, hopefully if you read this you’ve seen the episode and knows what it includes, but ya know typical twd stuff.
A/N did I accidentally write this way longer than I intended yes, yes, I did, now don’t get me wrong the moment where Tyreese defends Judith is iconic but for the sake of this fic I changed it up, kinda wanna make another part
For you who wants to know the episode is season 5 episode 1
Anyway I hope you enjoy this <3
Tumblr media
Judith giggled happily in your arms as you walked on the edge of the railway. You could’ve once imagined all kinds of trains going up and down the tracks as they blew past the trees, but now you couldn’t actually remember much about trains, you had the idea of them but not much details (and if a train were to come right now that would’ve been a miracle).
Tyreese walked a few steps behind you, with Carol in the front, as she led your group of four forward. She came to a stop when a sign that states “TERMINUS” showed up once more. It was your headed path, the sanctuary called Terminus. You personally didn’t trust it, not after the Governor, but you had to find Daryl and the rest of the group. You knew that if any of them were still alive they would’ve gone to Terminus after finding the railway. Which all of them had probably done. Along with finding Daryl you also had to get Tyreese and Judith to safety. Tyreese wasn’t fit to live on the road at the moment, he refused to kill anything that came your way leaving you and Carol to kill stray walkers, or animals for food. Judith, well, she was a baby and sometimes could be screaming all day, she was mostly quiet but the times she did cry was the times walkers got attracted. A baby was no way near fit to be on the road but here you were all of you somehow still alive (except for Lizzie and Mika Samuels, but there was no loss for you over Lizzie that’s for sure).
“We’re close” Carol stated as she saw the sign. “I’m gonna get you all there, make sure you’re safe, but I’m not gonna stay” She saw your face morph into disappointment as you nodded your head, a sad smile on your face. You’d missed her while she was gone and now she would be leaving again, and you didn’t like it, not one bit and you knew Daryl would be sad over it too which didn’t help the matter.
As you heard the rustle of leaves behind you in the forest, you all turned around to see two walkers stalk forward in your direction. Tyreese motioned with his hands to take Judith from you. Judith was carefully switched over to Tyreese and both you and Carol went forward to the walkers. Both of you killed them quickly only to notice the herd that was about to come out of the forest. Carol whispered to Tyreese that more were coming, and so all of you went into the opposite side of the railway. You hid in the forest until the walkers got distracted by shots firing not too far away from all of you.
Tyreese looked worriedly at you as he started to talk. “That gunfire it could’ve been from Terminus”
“Someone was attacking them, or they were attacking someone” Carol responded
“Do we want to find out?”
This time you involved yourself in the conversation, as you believed that you did indeed need to find out. “Yeah, we need to find out, If the others are there they might need help”
With that, and Carol's instruction of walking another track that would get you there as well you all started to walk once more, this time in need to find out the truth.
Your next stop had been outside a small worn out cabin, but it wasn’t the cabin that got your attention. What got your solely attention as you hid in the forest with your companions was the man that talked in a walkie-talkie. He was putting up a bunch of fireworks, no doubt to lead the herd of walkers away from Terminus. You could faintly hear him mention a woman with a sword, and you stopped Carol from going forward. As you continued to listen you heard him mention a kid with a hat and that was all you needed to go on. You didn’t think there were that many women with a sword and kid with a hat together nearby at the same time, so it didn’t take much to know that they were talking about Michonne and Carl. Nor did it take long to realize they had done something to your group, thereby also Daryl. Especially when he mentioned bleeding the kid out.
Carol slowly started to creep up behind the man and you followed not far behind. Tyreese more hesitant but still following. She put her gun toward his head, the young man froze and put his hands up still holding the two way radio. “Keep your finger off the button and drop it”
“Listen, ya’ll don’t have to do this. Whatever you want, we got a place where everyone’s welcome”
“Shut up man” it was what all three of you were thinking but Tyreese was the one to say it.
“Okay”
“We’re friends of the chick with the sword and the kid in the hat” Carol pressed the gun against his head forward, making the man lean forward as the gun touched his head.
It didn’t take long for you and Carol to tie him up and drag him (not so carefully) into the cabin leaning him against one of the walls. Throughout the whole ordeal the man continued to tell the three of you that you didn’t have to do this, that you could all come up with a deal, but he had no luck there.
As Carol made herself ready to scout Terminus out to see what was happening Tyreese continued to hold Judith in a protective embrace. You however had been asking the man questions, finding out that ever since the first questions he had been lying. He told you he only had Carl and Michonne, that they had both attacked them out of nowhere, that they were just protecting themselves. But none of you believed him. Not with the things you heard him talk about before you confronted him.
You would of followed Carol to Terminus had it not been for your will to protect Judith and Tyreese. As much as you loved Tyreese he wasn’t in his right mind. So you stayed to help if anything bad were to happen, to walkers coming your way or your prisoner getting free somehow, it didn’t matter you were there to protect your family. You only hoped Carol wouldn’t need any help.
Talking about your prisoner he was even more shatty when Carol left. Apparently a teenager, a baby and a man who he could clearly see wasn’t going to kill him was no threat to him. It was his undoing in the end. He underestimated you both and it showed in the way he talked to you and Tyreese as you sat by Judith, who’d you made a makeshift bed to.
“She got a name?… Hey, she got a name?”
“No” you answered at the same time Tyreese answered “Judith” you glared at Tyreese as he told the stranger her name, you didn’t want to give him any information, you never knew if it would backfire.
“She your daughter or something?”
“She’s a friend”
“Huh, I don’t have any friends… I mean I know people. They’re just assholes I stay alive with. The other one your friend, the woman” the younger man nodded towards the door that was now closed. Tyreese slowly looked away at the comment being conflicted about his answer. So instead you answered.
“Yes”
The man nodded and his voice that had now started to annoy you filled the room once more. “I used to have them… used to watch football on Sundays. Went to church” he let out a small laugh as if the thought of it was unbelievable. “I know, I did, but I can’t picture it anymore… it’s funny how you don’t even notice the time go by, horrible shit just stacks up day after day, you get used to it”
Tyreese turned his attention towards the man and spoke with distaste laced in his voice. “I haven’t gotten used to it”
"Of course you haven’t, you’re the kind of guy who saves babies, it’s kinda like saving an anchor, when you’re stuck on a boat-“ you had by know decided to drown out his voice as he tried to make justiciable to let him go.
Your thoughts got filled with Daryl like they had for the most time since the prison fell. You missed him. He always looked out for you. Ever since you met you were drawn to each other. Daryl used to pretend he hated you, especially when Merle was around he couldn’t have his brother think he was soft. However everyone knew he had always secretly looked out for you ever since he met you he’d felt the need to protect you. It came to the point that whenever you wanted to go on a run to get new supplies or do anything really you’d always ask Daryl. You had never spoken about it to each other but there was a silent agreement between everyone even you and Daryl that you were his kid and he your father. It might not be by blood but it was how it had come to be. Everytime something happened to you if you got hurt or if you were sad they’d always notify Daryl, but most of the time he already knew and would be with you to try and cheer you up in his own moody way. When you’d been out on the road before you found the prison you’d always sleep next to each other making sure the other one was safe. Even in the prison your cells were next to each other. He always looked out for you. He taught you how to hunt, he taught you how to use his crossbow, and to fight people to be able to protect yourself. Like Judith was “little asskicker”, you were the “big asskicker”. You couldn’t help but to miss him and the thought of him being hurt from the people in Terminus made your stomach hurt. You didn’t really want to voice your thoughts but you needed the reassurance and Tyreese was the only one who knew who Daryl was and could give reassurance. So against the warnings your mind gave you, you voiced your concerns.
“Do you think Daryl’s okay?” Your voice came out quieter than you expected as your mind filled with more scenarios in which Daryl had gotten hurt in.
Tyreese turned from Judith to look at you. He tried to give a reassuring look on his face as he answered. “I’m sure he’s fine Y/N”
”So Daryl’s your dad, maybe boyfriend” he continued to gues what Daryl was as you made no indication of actually giving anything away to him. After a while he stopped, he wouldn’t get anywhere with you, but he was still confident that if he talked enough to Tyreese would let him go.
“See, you’re a good guy, saving babies and teenagers.
“You have no idea about the things I’ve done”
“You’re a good guy, that’s why you gonna die today, it’s why the baby is going to die, why the Y/N is going to die” both you and Tyreese stood up taking an intimidating step towards the man, your knife pointed at him. “Or… you can get in that car, get out of here, keep on being lucky.”
“You think you’re gonna kill me?”
The man turned his sole attention to Tyreese as he answered him. “Why haven’t you killed me? How does having me alive help you? Why the hell are you even talking to me? Take the kids, take the car and go, I don’t want to do this today”
“For your information we could always use you to get more information or w e could kill you know, like you said we have-“ you got cut off by an explosion going off. Tyreese rushed to the window to see what was happening and saw the smoke over the forest.
“Is that Terminus?” The man moved forward as if trying to see out through the window but he had no luck in that department as he slouched back towards the wall.
“Yeah, probably”
“Maybe you’re gonna win this, maybe your friend, I mean maybe that woman just got capped, maybe I’m gonna be the one who gets capped when she comes back”
“Nobody’s got to die today”
“Man if you believe that… the it’s definitely gonna be you and the kids, even if the place is burning to the ground”
“Man maybe you can shut up and stop talking before I kill you myself” the man took his eyes of Tyreese to look at you as you had your knife pointed at him an annoyed look on your face. He didn’t believe for a moment that a teenager would be able to kill him, nor win in a fight against him. He had a way to high ego to think that you would be able to do any harm to him, he underestimated both you and Tyreese and when he heard as well as saw Tyreese look out at the walkers coming toward the cabin he moved quickly and soon enough his hands went to hold Judith in a hold that would be easy to break her neck.
He told you both to drop your weapons and you both did so not wanting him to hurt Judith. As he saw the walkers claw at the windows he looked towards Tyreese telling him to go outside. As Tyreese went outside he went over to you and bound your hands together with some spare rope just like you had done to him earlier. He made sure the knot would hold before he went I’ve r towards the wallow-talkie and tried to connect to the woman (apparently named Cynthia) on the other side.
While he did all that you tried to desperately tie up the knot that held the rope around your wrist together. Right as you were able to get rid of the rope around your wrist (thankful Daryl taught you how to do it) the noise from outside stopped. It became deathly quiet and the man looked towards were the last pounding against the walls had been. He took out his knife and was about to kill Judith when you quietly and quickly grabbed the knife that was laying right were you left it beside you on the floor and you ran over to the man. You saw red as you knocked him over, he had threatened to kill Judith and Tyreese. Threatened your sister and one of your closest friends. You knocked him towards the floor and your hand went into the air as you threw it down onto him repeatedly stabbing the knife in your hand into him. even after he was clearly dead.
Tyreese had to carefully walk over to you as he took the knife away from you. He told you that the man couldn’t hurt them anymore nor the walkers, everything would be okay. You appreciated his comfort as you hyperventilated for a few minutes over the fact that you’d just killed a human. You’d killed walkers before but never a human being. In your mind it was justified as he was about to kill all of you anyway, but you still felt like you’d lost something inside of you.
It was a while later when you glanced out of the window and saw Carol as she walked towards the cabin, Rick not that far behind. You broke out in a relieve laugh as a smile spread briefly over you lips, this made Tyreese glance out towards where you were looking. You booth scurried to get everything as you both wanted to leave the cabin not being comfortable to stay inside any longer than you needed to.
As both you and Tyreese stepped out of the barn you glanced at the people led by Carol. Your eyes scanned the crowd looking for one person in particular.
Daryl stared at you in disbelief he couldn’t believe you were actually alive, he’d seen you get shot, and without medical attention he guessed you’d died. He hadn’t wanted to keep hoping in case he would someday find your corpse rotting away (either as a walker or actually dead).
Daryl took in your bloodied state, you’d no doubt had to fight. Dirt and blood covered most of your clothes, and your face had a few cuts covered in dried blood. Your once white shirt was miss colored and your jeans had been ripped in some places, your jacket had blood stains all over it. Daryl could only guess what you’d gone through to end up looking like that (he didn’t even look that bad). He didn’t like all the blood covering you, he didn’t like not knowing what had happened, he didn’t like being away from you, he needed to protect you, he’d lost Beth to a couple of strangers, he wouldn’t lose you too.
When your eyes finally found Daryl, you had a soft smile on your face as you saw him visibly relax at your eye contact. While Rick and Carl ran towards Judith in Tyreese’s arms, Daryl stumbled forward towards you, dropping his crossbow to the ground. You met him halfway and he engelfulled you in a tight hug. You’d never know nor would anyone else but Daryl let a few tears fall in relief as he hugged you tightly knowing you were still alive, actually alive. As he felt you wrap your arms around him he felt you hug him just as tight, the comforting sensation you both brought each other was all you needed to ground each other and know that either of you were dreaming, this was real and both of you were okay.
As Daryl heard you sniffle he realized you were crying and he hugged you even tighter, taking one hand to your head and petting it softly — not knowing fully how to comfort someone, even now, having comforted you all those times before he still was unsure if he did it right. However he did know that you were crying from relief, because he did the same thing. You had your father back and he had his kid back and knowing that, you both knew that everything would be okay in the end. You were yet to be bested by someone when together, even when apart you always won, always found your way to back to each other. You would beat this world together and that was all that you needed to know, and the fact that neither of you were planning on leaving soon.

When the Dragons Fly (book 2)
Tumblr media
You are under pressure as you try to fight off the orcs. How long will you last? Will you finally end the secrecy and call on your dragon? What shall Aelon do to rally the rest of the people to help you?
[] = High Valyrian
Chapter 19 (Final)
Warnings: violence, blood, cuts, and bruises, mentions of dying people, mentions of becoming a thrall, despair, Aelon decides to do something, burning, mentions of being burned alive, and might or not might be a good ending, exposed secrets.
------------------------------------------------
Screams of dying men and the clashing of swords echoed across the battlefield. Blood dressed the gray ground, and you along with Chief Baelen fought all you could to keep the orcs from reaching the people. 
You stabbed one of the orcs down, and then quickly threw a spear at another, making the wretched creature shriek while falling to the ground dead. 
You observed the situation. The men were holding the line all they could while you and the others killed all who managed to get past. The archers on the hills were shooting, but slowly dropping down dead by the archers on the opposite side. Things were looking awful. Sooner or later, the orc army was going to break through. 
It did not help, especially when you heard word that the pass had been blocked, making the people unable to flee. You were trapped. It seemed imminent that this was the moment where you all would either die or become thralls to these creatures. There was no way you could beat them unless all the people came to fight with you, or if you finally decided to reveal your secret and summon Baleria to your aid. 
You then noticed an orc coming at you, but before you could do anything, a dagger was thrown into the orc over your shoulder. You glanced toward Chief Baelen who had been fighting alongside you. 
“Stay focused, lady (Name)! This will not get better if we just stand around!” Baelen answered with a smile while fighting the orcs. 
You turned your attention to the next orc that came at you. 
“Well, if we do not get reinforcement or the people find a way to get past the blockade. Things are going to get bad either way!” you yelled while killing the orcs. 
Baelen laughed. “Well, let’s focus on keeping them at bay then!” he said as he fought beside you. 
At the rock blockage, panic spread among the people, who desperately attempted to climb over the rocks, only to find it nearly impossible. Some even tried scaling the rocky sides, but their hazardous size made it impossible as well. Aelon watched with a sense of dread as Helena and Mika attempted to comfort their mother, while the twins' parents mournfully hugged Ramuel and Samuel. Eweniel held his hand tightly as they both grappled with fear over the dire situation.
“I guess this is it. This is where we are either going to die or become thralls to the dark lord,” Eweniel uttered. 
“There has to be something that can save us,” Aelon stated. 
“How? There are too many of them.” Eweniel questioned. 
“The chiefs and the rest of the people need to help (Name) to fight them off. If all of us would fight, then maybe we could survive,” Aelon uttered. 
“Well, it does not look like those chiefs are going to do much. They seemed to be wandering like headless chickens at the front,” Dwenn mentioned as he looked toward the front. 
Aelon thought to himself before jumping down from the wagon. 
“Aelon! Where are you going?” Eweniel called out as they watched him run through the people. “The chiefs need to help (Name). It’s the only way!” Aelon called back as he ran past the people. 
“I go after him,” Dwenn said and climbed down the wagon, following after Aelon as the little boy pushed through the crowds. 
Aelon apologized as he ran past and tried to avoid hitting the people while trying to find the chiefs, who were wondering what to do with the blockage. Dwenn managed to keep up with him despite his leg and slowness. 
Soon, Aelon managed to locate the three chiefs who had overseen the decision to proceed through the pass despite your warnings. 
“Chief Horren!” Aelon called out to the man. 
The three men gave their attention to him as he stepped before them. 
“You need to help (Name) and the rest of the men at the back. If we all fight together we might be able to survive this,” Aelon explained. 
Horren sighed. “Get back to your family boy. We will figure out a way to escape,” he said dismissively. 
“My family is currently fighting the orcs, trying to protect us and buy us some time, and it's already been half an hour. We can’t escape from here. The only solution is to fight the orcs,” Aelon said. 
“There are too many of them. Even if we all fight with all our force, there is no way we can beat them all,” Horren said, his voice heavy with despair.
"With (Name)'s help, you can. You just have to try," Aelon urged, his tone determined despite the dire circumstances. "Whatever it might be, you have to do something, or we will die waiting for you to come up with a solution," he added, his words a desperate plea for action.
Horren looked at him softly. 
“Listen, boy… there is nothing we can do. I admire your determination, but we are clearly beyond saving at this point,” Horren stated. 
Aelon looked at him appalled. 
“So, your solution is just to do nothing?!” Aelon asked. 
“We will either become dead or thralls if we do nothing, but you think that’s acceptable. You just wanna stay put and die by doing nothing?” Aelon raised his voice at the older man. 
“Hold your tongue boy! This is a chief you’re talking to,” one of the chiefs snapped at him. 
“It’s fine,” Horren sighed. 
“Boy…” he said. 
“Aelon. My name is Aelon Targaryen,” Aelon answered. “(Name) is my older sister,” he added. 
“Aelon…” Horren started. “We are grateful for the time your sister has bought us. But in this situation, my hands are tied. There is nothing we can do to save ourselves from this predicament. It is for the best that you return to your friends and family and pray for a miracle. I am sorry.” Horren explained. 
Aelon stared at them quietly. You had taught him that some people acted differently in the face of death and desperation, but he never imagined meeting people who would easily give up. 
Dwenn, who had been standing beside Aelon, scoffed. “Some fearless chiefs you are,” he uttered, gaining Aelon’s and the chiefs' attention. 
“I have met my fair share of men in my life, but I have never met people who acted tough then became wimps in the face of desperation,” he started. 
“When our village was attacked, in the face of destruction and death, (Name), took control and defended us from Morgoth’s orcs and wolves. It was thanks to her we managed to escape,” he said. “And even now, she fights the orcs, even when the situation is hopeless, giving her everything to give us more time,” 
Eweniel appeared beside Aelon. 
Dwenn then grabbed an axe from the ground. “I would rather die on the battlefield beside someone like her than stay here and accept my fate, dying beside cowardly men like you three,” he pointed at the chiefs. 
“I would gladly give my other eye and leg if it meant helping her. I will not abandon her and let her efforts go to waste,” he said. 
“Even if we all fight. There is still nothing we can do to change the outcome of the battle,” Horren said back. 
“No,” Aelon said after contemplating his thoughts. “There is something that can save us,” he said, then ran to the side of the pass, climbing up one of the hills with Eweniel. 
“What are you going to do?” Eweniel asked as they stood on the hill and Aelon looked toward the higher mountains. 
Aelon looked carefully across the sky, reaching out toward his dragon through his bond. His dragon responded. 
“Well… remember when you suspected I was keeping a secret from you?” Aelon asked as he brought his hand around his mouth. 
“Yeah?” Eweniel answered. 
“Well, today I’m going to tell you what that secret is,” he said. 
Aelon then took a deep breath. 
“[Falconer! Come to me!]” 
You breathed heavily after a whole hour had passed and the orcs kept coming. The black blood of the orcs trickled down from the Night’s Whisperer’s steel. Cuts and bruises throbbed around your face and places where you ended up being cut. It did not help that fatigue was beginning to take a toll on you. You have been fighting nonstop, trying to kill as many orcs as you could and avoid being killed, but things were not turning better. 
Despite your efforts to fend off the orcs, the situation only worsened. After an hour of continuous fighting, the line finally crumbled. The archers stationed on the hill were picked off one by one, and now the rest of the swordsmen were butchered, leaving only you and Chief Baelen back-to-back, facing the horde. Despite his efforts to remain composed, Chief Baelen showed signs of weariness and injury, his attempts at a smile betraying the toll the battle had taken on him.
“It seems this is the end of the road for us,” Baelen chuckled as you two leaned against each other, holding your weapons. “Not too bad though. We managed to last quite long with such a small force against an army,” he stated. 
“You fight well. Now I’m kinda mad that we did not go with the mountain road plan. Might have saved us the trouble,” he chuckled. 
“You too. But this might not be over for us yet,” you replied. 
“Unfortunately, we are out of men. If Horren and those other idiots would just come to help us like we asked, then maybe we would have had the chance,” Baelen said. 
You then glanced toward the mountains. There was no other way. You had to summon Baleria or you would be killed. You closed your eyes and reached out to your dragon through your bond. 
“Bloody hell. Now Horren and the others decided to come help us out,” Baelen said, disrupting your thoughts.
You saw the other chiefs and people charging to help you. Your ears then caught a sound in the air. It sounded like a heavy flap of wings. Your eyes widened. It couldn’t be… 
“Get down!” You pushed Baelen against the ground as a pillar of fire fell upon the orcs, burning them around you. The hot hair brushed above you while the orcs began screaming in pain as they burned alive. 
A large shadow flew over you and from the smoke, rose Falconer. 
Aelon looked down from the saddle after burning the orcs around you and Baelen. You looked back at him as he then glided down toward the orcs. 
“[Dracarys!]” Aelon yelled and Falconer breathed fire upon the orcs, chasing them away from you. 
The chiefs and the people came charging at the orcs, their voices blending into a unified battle cry. You even saw Dwenn charging with an axe. 
“Well, I’ll be damned,” Baelen said as you two got up from the ground. He stared at Falconer and Aelon as the pair fired on the orc army. 
Falconer roared as he swooped down, grabbing one of the trolls and tossing the creature into the air. 
The orc army began to scatter from Falconer and the people’s counterattack. You and Baelen quickly joined the fight, striking down any orc that dared to stand against you. Meanwhile, Aelon descended from the sky with Falconer, unleashing a torrent of flames that engulfed the archers on the hills. The orcs began to falter and retreat, their ranks thinning as fear gripped their hearts.
After twenty minutes of intense fighting and relentless burning of the enemy, the orc army began to dwindle as they retreated from the pass. Fueled by determination, you and the rest of the warriors gave chase, driving the orcs back until the orcs had left and the pass was free once more. With the threat vanquished, the people erupted into cheers of victory, relieved to have emerged triumphant from the harrowing ordeal.
You watched as the people cheered, happy to have won and remained alive. You then focused on Aelon and Falconer as they circled in the sky, visible to all the people on the ground. 
“(Name) Targaryen!” Horren stomped toward you. 
You sighed, knowing what was to come. 
The cheering ceased as all eyes turned toward you and the dragon flying above. Horren's voice reverberated with anger as he directed his glare at you.
"Can you explain why you and your little brother have a dragon?" Horren demanded, pointing accusingly at the dragon in the sky. Glancing at Aelon, who looked down at you with concern, you attempted to offer him an assuring smile, knowing this moment was inevitable.
Your secret was now exposed.

MARCH 26, 2024 FLYERS @ RANGERS, 6-5 OTL
IN TONIGHT'S GAME, Samuel Ersson had:
21 saves
6 goals against
.778 SV%
Sometimes I worry that the Flyers' style of defense doesn't work well for Ersson. He's mentioned in multiple interviews that he prefers to see shots on goal early on in the game, to get a feel for the puck and to warm up, but in tonight's game there were long stretches of time, minutes and minutes of play, where he didn't see a shot. And while the self-sacrificing nature of Flyers defense might look good on paper and prevents many a goal, does it also have a tendency to mindfuck our goalie? I think it's not out of the question to speculate that that might be an issue that Sandström faces as well, though I don't know for sure.
In Ersson's postgame interview he was visibly upset: "Obviously I know I gotta come up with a couple of saves, it's... tough, I felt like in the times they had the shots they went in, I didn't really get to feel that puck that much in the third, so it's one of those things I gotta find a way to handle it better mentally and come up with those saves when the team needs it."
Ersson's at the high end of what I'm generally seeing as the league median for high danger scoring shots against – 16.5% of the shots he faces are high danger chances. Seems like most goalies face around 14.5-16% – there are some outliers, like Shesterkin (17.3%) or Jordan Binnington, at a whopping 18% – but factored in for the fact that the Flyers are blocking shots at a league-leading rate? Shouldn't his high-danger SA be lower simply due to the fact that more shots are blocked? For example, the Isles and the Panthers may not be shot-blockers, but Ilya Sorokin faces only 14.5% HD SA; Bobrovsky faces 14.7%.
What I'm trying to get at is that while the Flyers block a number of low-danger or good scoring chances, they leave their rookie goaltender vulnerable to a higher average of high-danger shots through a lack of defense in other areas of the game, and simultaneously don't allow him to practice making saves and getting comfortable in the net. When he does face a shot, it's often high-danger: multiple opponents crashing the net, or a speedy forward on a breakaway. Ersson made his last save of the game at 3:23 of the 3rd period. The next shot he faced was over 6 in-game minutes later, and you won't believe what it was: a shorthanded 2-on-1 breakaway with Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck, and we all know how that one ended up. Man, six minutes. You get cold. Even a pro.
Much love for Sam Ersson. He looked pretty upset in the postgame. Being a Flyers goaltender's not for the faint of heart. You got this, bud.
Samuel Ersson stats during the Gauntlet:
5 out of 7 GS
2-1-2 record
.847 SV%
122 saves
17 goals against

LIKED : overflowing muse starter call / @wingfells
for mika samuels
Tumblr media
               the   air   between   their   little   group   is   tense,   and   also   sad.      it   was   only   yesterday   that   carol   had   done   what   she   had   to   lizzie,   because   there   hadn’t   been   any   other   alternative.      she’d   attacked   her   own   sister,   wanted   to   attack   judith…      she   was   not   safe   to   be   around.      carol   had   thought   about   taking   her   on   her   own,   but   the   reality   is   carol   would   never   be   able   to   sleep   with   the   girl   around.      there   was   no   telling   what   day   she’d   finally   decide   to   try   ending   carol’s   life   to   prove   her   theory,   so   the   only   option   for   the   safety   of   everyone   was   to   neutralize   the   threat.      carol   doesn’t   feel   good   about   it,   not   at   all.      it’s   eating   her   up   inside,   but   they   have   to   keep   moving,   keep   pushing   to   find   and   reunite   with   their   family.      terminus   was   their   best   bet.      ❝   you   need   to   learn   now   how   to   handle   yourself,   you   know   that   right?   ❞      carol   and   mika   lag   behind   tyreese   who   has   judith   in   a   homemade   sling   strapped   to   his   chest.      ❝   it’s   time   to   step   up,   because   the   next   time   i   might   not   be   around   to   save   you.   ❞
