#space opera au
Note
Hi!!
I was a bit confused on you info about Lumians, and wanted to ask you if you have any more info on them! :D
I’m totally cool with infodumping btw!
Thanks in advance!! :>
Boy oh boy spopera lore time!
First of all credit for Lumian!Martyn to @strifesolution , who is the local Yogscast fan among us space operators that make up the au, and since lumians are a yogs aliens.
General spopera tdlr is: treebark are spaceship racers! For the space opera au I think we’ve been allowed to make things up a bit and play around with the lumian worldbuilding. Here’s what I got from the collective lore google docs for the au:
Lumians are a bipedal humanoid species that produces a bioluminescent element in their bodies called bioneos. Lumians are identifiable by bioneos freckles. In the au and out of the main characters, Martyn and False are lumians, Martyn having an almost cyan tone to his bioneos, while False has red.
The colour varies, and it can help track family lineage, despite the fact that lumians are typically a communal species with no nuclear family unit. However, some lumian families that leave their home planet may no longer have the community support, and likely adopt a family unit home style.
Lumians may have “gendered” appearances but they are a unisexual species. Societal roles in lumian culture are often decided by stature. Shorter, broader lumians often take to building, hunting, and child rearing. Taller, more slender lumians will take to taming, climbing, and navigation.
The home planet of Lumians, Corruscate, has a tropical climate. The planet is mostly covered in jungle and forests, with megaflora that cast dark shadows. To compensate for the darkness created, living species in Corruscate, as the lumians themselves, have bioneos that create the bioluminescence typical of lumians.
Since lumians are from a hot planet, they are particularly susceptible to cold and temperature drops. As a defense mechanism to save energy mentally and physically, and to be able to get themselves out of the cold, they’ve evolved “glacieration”, also known as “frost mode”
Frost mode is essentially a survival mode to keep them alive. As the temperature decreases the lumian will feel cold and uncomfortable and sick, until they suddenly seem to gather themselves and be okay; this, apart from a pale and grey complexion and dulled glow, is a sign of frost mode.
The body freezes over as it switches its priority from maintaining heat to creating adrenaline for the lumian to use to get themselves into a safe temperature. However, the modern lumian can decide to ignore the primitive urge to warm up and instead do other activities, although prolonged frost mode is lethal.
A result of the intense shot of adrenaline is erratic behaviour, like apathy or snapping or being aggressive.
(These pieces I made for treebarkweek, for example, were meant to be about frost mode happening while Ren and Martyn went to a very cold planet for a race. The assumption is that the cold discomfort happened mid-race, but Martyn refused to retire. Afterwards when Ren follows him into the lockers he finds him fully in frost mode; he can't feel the cold anymore since he's sort of icy all over now, and he's pumped full of adrenaline and suceptible to being irrational, so he'll probably pick a fight with Ren if Ren decides to chastise him about putting the race before his health)
(My guy is ice. He's producing cold clouds. Someone give him lukewarm water)
(Also it might be obvious already but frost mode was taken from the idea of having inthelittlefrost in the au somehow.)
#THANK YOU FOR THE ASK THIS WAS SUPER FUN TO ANSWER!!!!#we fr love the au all the people involved#at all time im thinking about space opera au. space f1 treebark save me....#save me lumians... save me little glowsticks.....#space opera au#asks.tag#ghast.art

Blood On Our Hands, Hope In Our Souls
Fandom: The Magicians
Challenge: AU Roulette 2023 by @astriiformes
Prompt: Space Opera AU
Rating: M (for language & themes consistent with canon)
Word Count (Ch. 1): 1064
Summary:
“In my defense, we were being chased by murderous vagabonds. The statue had a ram’s head on it, so it should have taken us to Fillory.”
Josh groaned. “The Fillory fountain has two rams heads back-to-back, not just one. How does a former High King of Fillory not know that!?”
“Another reason why he’s a former High King,” Alice snapped.
---
The Children of Earth take a wrong turn in the Neitherlands and end up trapped in the middle of a space-age empire hell-bent on conquest. Now Quentin, Eliot, Margo, Alice and Josh need to figure out how to get home, plus keep both Fillory and Earth safe from the Empire in the process.

The First Spectre, Chapter 2: Eden Prime, Part 1
Title: The First Spectre, Chapter 2: Eden Prime, Part 1
Fandom: 911 and eventual 911ls, Mass Effect Trilogy, May also have some borrowed lore from extended Mass Effect Universe as I don’t keep Andromeda stuff segregated in my head. 911ls stuff will gradually get introduced but we’re a ways from a lot of that.
Pairing: EVENTUAL endgame Buddie but it’s going to be the slowest of slowest epic slow burns. Assume any other canon pairings will make appearances.
Warnings: Will have canon deaths (and one or two that aren’t) but not Eddie, Buck or Christopher (or at least permanently 🤨). I make no promises about anyone else but those who’re familiar with both franchises will probably be able to guess in advance. Fic is NOT finished and is promising to be a doozy on the word count end. I am attempting to update every 6-8 weeks inbetween other writing commitments but it’ll EVENTUALLY get done.
Fic Summary:
Thirty years after the mars ruins were discovered leading to the Charon Relay and twenty since the First Contact War, humanity is still striving to take its place amongst the Citadel Council as equals. Commander Evan “Buck” Buckley, the lone survivor of Akuze is nominated to become the first human Spectre.
When his test mission goes sideways, Buck uncovers a much larger threat against all sentient life. Can he convince the Council to prepare for war or will they ignore the dangers that are closing in?
A new cycle has begun. The Reapers are coming.
Read Chapter 2 here on AO3
tagging because they asked (reblog and tag if you’d like to be added to the list)

Writing Tag Game
Thanks for tagging me @timetravelbypen!
Game: If the word provided is in your wip document, answer with the sentence (or more) containing the word.
The word I was given was “hope," which shows up quite a lot in my current wip, so here's a bit of Star by Star:
“This is bad. This is so fucking bad,” she said as soon as everyone but Smith was out of the room.
Smith blew out a long breath. Her shoulders hunched in. “Yes. It is.”
They looked at each other. Yaz saw her own anger reflected in Smith’s eyes, her own exhaustion mirrored in the lines around Smith’s mouth.
“We’ve got to keep up hope, Yasmin. Even though it seems hopeless. There’s nothing more important. Of all the problems we have, nothing will destroy this crew faster than giving up.”
“You can paint whatever hopeful picture of this you want, but this is impossible. What are we going to do?”
“The only thing we can. We try to fix this, it doesn't work, we try again. If we work together, ultimately we’ll succeed. Because this is what being alive is. And it's better than the alternative.”

Howdy! i present a parody of Heat Waves, based on the Space Opera AU. it applies to treebark btw and has an in-universe fic that is the equivalent of Heat Waves.
Cold Spells
Frost crystals
Fracturing the vision
Cold cold spells

Frost crystals

Cold cold spells

Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of blue
Cold spells been shutting me down
Can’t make you happier now
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of blue
Cold spells been shutting me down
Can’t make you happier now
Usually I stay
Back on Coruscate
Just to keep away
From your icy gaze
But today I see
Our reflections
Clearly in cold oceans
Under glowing trees
You just need a better life than this
You need something i can never give
Sharp snowflakes falling thick and fast
They’re gone now the storm is past, but
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of blue
Cold spells been shutting me down
Can’t make you happier now
I can’t feel it
I can’t stand
You hold tight my freezing hand, but
Now you’ve got to let me go
You’d be better off without my cold
I don’t wanna be alone
You know it burns me too
You look so broken in your tears
That freeze like bitter cold goodbyes
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of blue
Cold spells been shutting me down
Can’t make you happier now
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of blue
Cold spells been shutting me down
Can’t make you happier now
I just wonder what your dreaming of
When you gaze at stars so luminous
I just wish that I could give you that,
That look that’s glowing bright at last
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of blue
