The Apothecary Diaries × Dr Stone Crossover AU (title in progress)

Maomao: How come you know all this stuff, anyway? Senku: Would you believe it if I said I was a statue come to life? Lihaku, whispering: Well, that would explain the scars on him that look like cracks. Maomao, whispering back: Maybe someone threw a ceramic at his face. He's annoying enough for it.

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

i'm grateful you're my daughter more than anything

Post 6x09, Runaan finds Rayla as she takes care of Callum. She's changed, and he couldn't be a prouder father.

Felt cute might put up on ao3 later :b

The first moment they had alone was in the dead of the night, moon high above the Nexus. It felt fitting, almost full-circle.

On his way down the hall to the library, to get parchment to send a letter to Ethari explaining what could never truly be explained, at least not fully, Runaan spotted Rayla slipping down the hall, footsteps light and quick as a true assassin's, despite how opposite of one she was, a steaming teacup on a little plate in her hands.

She looked up when she heard him, smiling a little as her low ponytail swung. "Runaan. ...Hey." She cleared her throat. "How- how are you feeling?"

He shrugged in the enormously oversized nightshirt the lumberjack human, Allen, had lent him. It was off-putting, being out of his form-fitting, safe garb, especially in this strange, unknown place he should very well have felt relaxed in- a full moon, at the Moon Nexus, but all Runaan could feel was... odd. "As good as one can, I suppose. How are you, though? How is your human? Clem- Camel? Stop me when I get it right-"

She laughed, and it wasn't a snarky one he'd grown so accustomed to. "Callum." A smile ticked her lips upwards at his name. "His name's Callum. And he's-" Rayla looked away to the wall, the little table she elected to set the tea down on, anywhere but him. "He's okay. I think. Mostly in shock. But he'll get through it." The unspoken words hung in the air, a truth both of them hated knowing: What other choice does he have?

"He's got you," Runaan offered, drawing closer. "That's pretty damn good."

She laughed again, a real, merry one, despite the bitter undertones. "Yeah. Some cuddles and tea are all I can do until morning. Bright and early, we go to Katolis." She made a face, and at least that was the same- her utter hatred of mornings.

Just like that, Runaan found himself relaxing just a little more into her presence. No longer a little girl he felt the need to protect- Well, she would always be that, his beloved daughter once he started acting like it, but someone he trusted to have his back. Even with how much she'd changed, not everything had.

"I will be up with the sun," he promised, and she looked away. That had just been one more thing setting her apart from the rest back at the Silvergrove, during training: her adamant refusal to awaken at the crack of dawn for early-morning runs and sparring.

Good. Please, let her never be like the Silvergrove, Runaan prayed now, just as he had so many moons ago with Ethari after Lain and Tiadrin left. Let her never have the hardened heart of an assassin, the only ones the community would spare the time of day. She had an out, and one look at her and Callum was enough for Runaan to know that she'd take it and never look back.

"Well, I should get this to Callum," Rayla said awkwardly, stilted, moving to take the cup, but Runaan stopped her with a gentle touch to her wrist. "Rayla, wait." Gentle, the way he'd be with Ethari. Because this was his daughter, not a member of his troupe or someone under his jurisdiction. His family.

She pursed her lips slightly and shook her loose bangs out of her eyes, and Runaan couldn't help but remember back to her parents. She was the perfect combination of them, with Lain's braids and horns, Tiadrin's nose and face shape, and her lavender eyes unique only to her. Setting her apart. "Yeah?"

He drew his hand back. "I've never seen you like this," he said, admittedly curiously.

Rayla tilted her head, questioning kindly rather than the abrasive, aggressive way she'd always done before. "Like what?"

"Giving," Runaan said, because that was the first word that came to him. Rayla had always been kind and generous and loving, no matter how she'd hated to show it. "Kind. Loving. Happy."

She took a hesitant step closer, reaching to rest her gentle, small hand on his upper arm, blinking furiously.

"It's a good look on you." He blinked his own tears away as she bit back a sob-ridden laugh. "The best one."

Rayla ducked her head, bangs swinging with the motion. "Thank you. That... It means a lot. So much."

Runaan clasped her hands, drinking the sight of his daughter in. So small physically, but larger than life. So, so loved and gorgeous, inside and out, and he was sure her human made sure she knew it, too.

"You have a beautiful heart, Rayla," he said eventually, softly. "The most gorgeous I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My worst regret is trying to burn it away instead of nurturing it. And for that..." A hand found its way to lay over his heart, bringing a sniffling Rayla’s with it. "I am truly sorry."

"Runaan..." She shook her head, reaching up to wipe away his tears, and they were the softest fingertips Runaan could remember, his own and Ethari's so calloused and rough. And here was Rayla, giving and gentle. The daughter he'd always dreamed of but never deserved. "Don't," she said firmly. "It was my choice. My choices. I had to find my way here on my own. In the end..." She glanced back down the hall, to the closed door that the boy she loved more than life rested behind. "I like where it got me. I'm glad I'm here."

"Rayla..." Runaan tucked her hair behind her ears, pressing their foreheads together. "I don't know what it means to you, but I am so proud of you. I love you, Little Blade. You are my daughter. I only hope you'll let me be your father."

Rayla threw her arms around him, sending him stumbling back in shock, immediately holding her back. "Of course. I'd forgiven you a long time ago, Runaan. I'm so glad you're my father. You always will be. I love you."

And he'd already said it tonight, but Runaan had spent far too much time hating and killing, and not nearly enough loving. So he hugged her back, whispering, "I love you, too."

Ibis meets the great archmage just once.

Shortly after the young king of Katolis' latest visit, before the seasons change to cold again, the Dragon Queen instructs him to go to the Tidebound Archipelago.

"Once the storm subsides," she amends, the clouds dark and roiling over the horizon and along the Storm Spire. The Dragon King's stone face is streaked with rainwater, giving him the appearance of tears, and Zym nips and whines at Ibis' ankles, eager to go out and play. Ibis nudges him away with the staff.

"What for, Your Majesty?"

"There is something we need there. A siren stone."

And Ibis goes where Her Majesty tells him to go, and reaches the Archipelago after a few days of flying. He recognizes the Archmage in an instant, given her staff and her age, even if the former no longer holds a primal stone.

"Zubeia's boy, are you?" she grouses, looking him up and down.

Ibis flushes. He's her mage representative, but to hear someone be so frank and casual... only the young King of Katolis usually does so, but everybody calls Prince Azymondias Zym if they're friends of the royal family, and even then, King Ezran has grace it appears old age has stripped Akiyu of.

And he's Her Majesty's family, in some ways yes, but not... hers. Not the way Zym is.

"I'm her mage, yes," Ibis acquiesces somewhat stiffly.

"Hm. Follow along then, and I won't kill you."

Akiyu's grotto is damp and dimly lit, with a strange circular set of teeth in the wall. Ibis debates drying himself off with spells while she rummages around, but he'll have to go through the water to get out again, so there's little point. Ocean mages, honestly. Can't their lairs be in nice, windy places like the sky cities? Or along the sandy and pebbled beaches further southeast? He'd spent a pleasant summer there was a boy with his mother, the previous draconic mage before him.

Finally, the old elf produces the siren stone, a beautiful blue gem roughly the size of Zym when he'd first hatched. Ibis tucks it into the crook of one arm, ensuring that it doesn't have any scratches and that the magic held within is intact.

"I'm surprised Zubeia is asking for it," Akiyu remarks, scratching idly at one coral spiral of a horn. "She and Domina don't do much talking these days. Have a bit of an axe to grind."

Ibis rolls his eyes at the Earthblood phrase.

"But then again," she continues, "nothing good ever comes from a gathering of the Archdragons."

"Nothing good ever brings the Archdragons together," Ibis corrects; plenty of good can come from their union, though. Zym is living proof of that. "And the siren stone is just a precaution," he explains, turning to go. "In case it is needed."

He's at the edge of the water when Akiyu says, "You better hope it never is, for all our sakes."

Ibis / Archmage Akiyu

An Axe To Grind

[raayllum]

Somehow at the end of everything, they find themselves back at the Storm Spire. The antechamber is quiet but brightly lit by the pink and gold sunrise, everyone else still slumbering, Callum’s staff casting a faint blue light over the turquoise lines in the wall.

Rayla approaches him slowly, rubbing her wrist.

Ezran, Soren, and Corvus will be leaving for Katolis tomorrow without him. He’d already decided to stay at the Spire and take up Ibis’ post, and the Dragon Queen had offered Rayla a position too, now that they had reason for a dragonguard again. 

But just because Callum had saved her life - had traded the cube for her - doesn’t mean he wants to be with her. Or even if he does, that he knows how to be, and wants to try again. And she won’t stay unless he’ll be comfortable with it (Ezran had offered her a home in Katolis when she’d expressed her doubts, even if he’d shook his head and squinted, smiling at her, telling her she didn’t need to worry) and she won’t go without at least being honest to his face this time.

“Callum?”

He turns, scrapes on his face healing, so handsome and beautiful it makes her throat tighten. Especially now that he’s not looking at her with hurt or anger in his eyes, an easy smile on his face instead.

“Yes?”

She stops an arm’s length away, unable to meet his eyes. “I just wanted to say...” She exhales. She has to be brave. Actually brave now. Rayla sets her shoulders. “I know you’re staying, and I’m happy for you, I really am. And I don’t want to leave, but I will, if you want me to, but—I want to stay. I want to be with you. If you’ll have me.” Rayla swallows when he just blinks at her, wide-eyed, and hurries on. “And if you don’t, or you do want me to stay but not like that’s fine, because we’re friends and that’s all I—”

His hands, warm and steady cupped her cheeks, her skin barely registering the faint press of his gloves against her face before he’s kissing her, soft but firm. “Shut up,” he murmurs when he draws back for a beat, their first kiss in two years over far more quickly than she wanted it to be, and they meet in the middle this time, looping her arms around her neck as his nestle around her waist.

She melts, safe and warm and loved—and finally back where she belongs.

[bruderup]

Prompt: "I promise."

“Ron, shooting star! Make a wish!”

Whenever their reports were over and insomnia struck, Hsu would invite Ron to go to the tallest tower in Camp McCarran. Enjoyed two cups of coffee, two cigarettes, and a great view of Mojave sky. Thin clouds hung, and dim colors of the stars covered the ebony canvas. Sitting so close, the colonel’s head rested comfortably on Ron’s shoulder.

Make a wish, huh? The chocolate haired man closed his azure eyes.

“What’s your wish, Ron?”

Pause for a moment, before a smile came back on his handsome face. “I want a long vacation, Sir. How about you?”

Hsu chuckled, grabbing Ron’s hand to hook their fingers. Suitable. Warm. Perfect. “I want this campaign to finish quickly, then I can go back to San Francisco.” Oh. Classic wish, to return alive to a figure named family. “But you have to come with me!”

There was a feeling of indescribable tightness in his lungs. Lips kissed the top of his head without a military beret. “Yes, I’ll come with you.”

Their hands tightened. “I promise.”

Five Times - Chapter 06 Dinner Time

Summary:  Five times Ibis interrupts Callum and Rayla (and the one time he doesn't)

Pairing: Rayla/Callum

Rating: Teen and Up

Word Count: 1167

Tumblr:  Five Times

AO3 Link: Five Times

It’s Callum’s turn to cook tonight, which means it is also Rayla’s turn.

It’s not that Callum cannot cook. He’s just never had call to. If he even wanted something as simple as a sandwich one of the cooks would shoo him away and make it for him.

Of course, Rayla teases him about it.

Like she teases him about everything.

The provisions at the Storm Spire are pretty simple and no-one expects a feast. Still, Callum’s first attempt was a pretty dismal failure, so he is grateful for any help.

Rayla insists on chopping the vegetables after Callum nearly took off his finger last time. She’s much quicker and more efficient at it so he doesn’t object.

He is in charge of seasoning the meat. He’s sniffing the various spices and reading over the recipe.

“Do you need help with that?” She means the instructions. Though they were written in Elven, he has been a quick study.

“No, I’m just comparing.” He takes two jars and sniffs both in tandem.

“What are you doin’?” She abandons chopping and wipes her hands on her apron, strolling over to him.

“Just… experimenting.” He holds the jars before her face. “These two go together well, I think.”

Rayla gently pushes the jars away. “This is what… your third time cookin’? No experimentin’.” She narrows her eyes at him, poking him in the arm.

“Maybe I’m a culinary genius who’s never had a chance to show his skills.” He teases, putting the jars on the bench and playfully tugging on her apron.

“Oh really?” She slips her hands around his back, pulling him closer.

“Yeah.” He smirks. “There’s a few things I’ve only picked up recently that I think I’m pretty good at.”

“Uh huh.” She blushes, grinning. “What sorts of things?”

“Oh, you know… magic. Flying.” He leans forward. “This.” He kisses her as she laughs.

“Yeah, you’re ok at this.” Her hands snake up his back. “But perhaps we should practice more… just to be sure.”

He wraps his arms around her slender waist. “Well, if you insist.”

She sighs softly as he leans into the kiss. Rayla still struggles with articulating how she feels but Callum has no complaints about how demonstrative she is with her affections.

“DING DING DING DING DING!” Soren bursts through the door. “DINNER TI-”

They jump apart, both breathless.

“Whaaaaaaa?!” Soren gapes at them. “Were you just making out?!”

Tact will never be Soren’s strong point.

Callum feels his face burn. “Well… yeah.”  

“WHAT?!” Soren looks back and forth between Callum and Rayla.

“Eh… is this news to you?” She sounds incredulous as she waves her hand between them.

“Yes?!” The tall blond looks at them like they are crazy. “This will be news to everyone.”

It was Callum’s turn to look at someone like they were demented. “This… is not news. To anyone.”

“Eh, I think you’ll find it is, Callum.” Soren looks at them smugly, folding his arms.

“It’s really not.” Rayla was starting to lose her embarrassment and Callum sees a smirk on her lips.

“Does your aunt know? Ezran?!” Soren asks accusingly.

“Yes! I... how did you not know?” Callum asks bewildered.

“I thought you guys were just really close friends!”

Rayla rolled her eyes, sniggering.

“So, you jump off cliffs for your friends then?” Callum asks, sarcastically.

“Hey, camaraderie in the army is a thing, Callum!” Soren is getting defensive. “Anyway, you said you only liked Rayla as a friend.”

“What?!” It was Callum's turn to be incredulous. “No, I didn’t!” He glances over at Rayla to gauge her reaction before turning his attention back to Soren.

“Yes, you did!” Soren explained slowly. “When you were on your date with Claudia, she specifically asked you if something was going on with you guys and you told her you didn’t think of Rayla that way.” He took a breath. “That she was just your assassin friend.”

“I- eh, that’s...” Callum struggles for words. “That was ages ago.”

“That was like a month ago, Callum.” Soren corrects him.

“Maybe but, you know... A lot happened in that month.” Callum glances over at Rayla, a concerned look on his face.

“Oh... oh no.” Soren begins to look guilty. “So, you guys really are a thing? Wow... eh, I mean Rayla... I’m sure what Callum meant was, eh...” He and Callum share a desperate look.

Rayla throws a washcloth, hitting Soren smack in the face. “Go away, Soren.”

“Yeah, ok. I’ll just, I’ll just, you know... I’ll just go. Leave you guys to dinner and eh,... whatever it was... you were... doing... before, you know...” He turns and hastily slips through the door.

Callum is turning to Rayla when he pops his head back in.

“Though I must say... I am loving this." He gestures between the two of them.

“Out!" Rayla somehow finds another dish cloth and takes aim.

Soren ducks out before she can launch.

“Haha, so eh, Soren?” Callum laughs nervously.

“Just your assassin friend, am I?” Rayla, rests a hand on her hip and raises an eyebrow.

Callum bites his lip. “I mean, like I said… that was ages ago and things have changed so much since then.” He reaches out to her, but she turns before he can reach her, going back to inspect her vegetables.

Callum winces.

Stupid Soren.

“Rayla, I’m sorry. We’d only really just met when… eh, that came up and I obviously feel completely differently about you now.” He leans forward, trying to catch her eye.

She is making a face in an attempt to hold back laughter.

“You’re not mad.” Callum accuses.

Rayla rolls her eyes and grins at him. “No. I thought you were a dumb human back then anyway.”

“Na, I reckon you thought I was cute back then.” He pokes her in the side.

Rayla blushes as she grabs his finger. “I did not.”

“Well, when then?” Callum can feel his face light up too. When Rayla ignores him and got back to cutting vegetables, he continues on his own. “It must have been before the desert when you-”

She pokes him in the arm again. “What did I tell you about that?”

Callum looks at her confused. “What?”

“We are never discussing that!” She glares at him with wide eyes.

Callum laughs at her. “Even now?!”

“Never. Ever.” She tries to keep a serious look on her face, but he can see the beginnings of a smile in her eyes.

“Well, what are you going to do if I decide to keep talk-”

He is cut off by her lips on his. He grins into the kiss, slipping his arms around her once again.

“You are so annoying.” She mumbles against his mouth.

Callum smiles as she pulls him closer, deepening the kiss.

“Ok guys, seriously. I’m not looking but how much longer until dinner?”

Callum looks around to find Soren’s head in the door, his hand over his eyes.

“GET OUT, SOREN!” They yell in unison.

And so these silly ficlets come to an end I stop torturing Ibis... for a while. Hope you enjoyed.

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~) 🌈🌈

can I just say compromise and say five nice things about some other bloggers 

-I love @fixaidea‘s  unique and creative headcanons and art style; they’re always so distinctive! 

- more people should be following @lizardrosen , who is fantastically enthusiastic about everything from les mis to space AND writes really nice ficlets and commentary 

- likewise @subsequentibis  is one of my favorite bloggers of Fandoms I Don’t Follow because they draw and post about everything  they like with such joy, and this is the only reason I currently know anything about like 90 percent of 21st century fandoms, THANKS IBIS <3

- @aporeticelenchus  makes Learning Classics Fun, AND has probably the best non-Hugo Grantaire Voice I’ve ever read  AND comes up with excellent fic memes

-@alicedrawslesmis is just what the URL implies, lovely Les Mis canon-era art AND useful technical commentary!

Depetrified Diaries (Dr Stone x Apothecary Diaries) — Ruri

Maomao inspected the tag on the laundry basket. A mid-level consort, but not of a room she recognized. They must not go through laundry that fast, then.

She realized why when she and few other girls began the trek to the Wisteria Pavilion, one of the palaces where several low-level to mid-level consorts were housed.

This room had gone unused for as long as she'd been in the rear palace. Up until a month ago, when they had begun airing it out, and a consort from some allegedly well-established clan was moved in. She wasn't highly ranked, but a mysterious reverence followed her every mention.

"Woah, that's the Monogatari clan heiress' room!" One of the other laundry girls looked awed when Maomao excused herself to go to that room. "You should congratulate her; she had a miraculous recovery from her illness!"

She had? Good for her, Maomao supposed. She was just there to deliver laundry.

When she knocked on the door, it took a minute for it to be opened by a woman with a gentle face and a swathe of long, blond hair that was swaying in the wind.

"Oh, hello!" she smiled, "I'm Ruri!"

"Good morning. I have brought your laundry for you," Maomao said respectfully, holding up the basket as a signal for the woman to let her in.

Ruri took the basket from Maomao without a moment of hesitation. "Oh, you didn't need to bring it here, Ms...?"

Most didn't bother to ask the help's names, but if she insisted: "Maomao."

"Well, thank you, Maomao, but I would've come to get it myself. I'm so tired of being cooped up all day!"

She certainly looked like someone who had been convalescing for a long time, with her sun-starved pallor and skin lying loose over too-thin limbs. But she looked to be doing far better now.

"You can simply take a walk, if you wish," Maomao suggested. "No need to trouble yourself with chores."

Wasn't she from an old clan? What kind of upbringing did she have to be so ready to do tasks well below her station?

"Ah, but walks simply don't feel productive!" she replied, not looking displeased. "You're very candid; I like that. Everyone treats me like glass after my bout with pneumonia and that makes good conversation hard to come by."

Maomao's eyebrows raised. Pneumonia? It really was a miraculous recovery.

"That must be hard," she settled on saying.

"I'll say! Oh, but it's probably much harder on you, with how hot it is outside!" Ruri commented, peering at Maomao, who was admittedly slightly sunburnt and sweaty. "A little break won't hurt, would it? Come sit in front of the fan."

Maomao let herself be led onto the visitor's chair in the room, and looked up to acknowledge the lady-in-waiting holding the fan. And found... No one.

It was three wickerwork fans tied to a circular piece of wood in the center, spinning on its own, with no sign of stopping.

She stared, trying to figure out the trick. Ruri giggled, clearly used to this reaction. "Isn't it nice? My family is backing a young inventor who gifted me this. Senku called it an Electrical Fan."

Electrical?

She didn't know what that meant, but the guy was likely going to make it far.

Hi there! I was wondering if you could possibly recommend some of your favorite Thorki and Hiddlesworth fics, if you can.

Hi! 

Sigh, I’m a horrible horrible person, I haven’t read enough Thorki fics to be able to recommend any, just busy with my own headcanons and real life shit. T__T (I can only point you to my own Hiddlesworth/Thorki ficlets on AO3 if you haven’t seen them already.) I’ve been meaning to read “His scarlet ibis” as suggested by another anon ask but haven’t got around to it yet (I will answer that one asap).

I would rather redirect you to Thorduna and booksnchocolate who seem to be the experts here.

INSTEAD I could show you “recommended fanart” from the days of yore, that is Thor/Avengers/Dark World fanart that I collected back then, romantic/foreplay/smutty stuff, and I’m sure the old artists need a little appreciation.

If anyone is interested do let me know, I’ll try to find the artists themselves and credit them.

[raayllum]

bc it may have been 5 years since i wrote "ibis was friends with lain and tiadrin, Actually" but i will Never let it go

The second Ibis lands, he knows something is wrong.

He's always in tune to the way the wind bends, and therefore to the things that are carried on it: words, shouts, exhales. And it's not as though the Draconic Royal family is loud, other than the occasional roar. Nor is their Dragonguard, a bunch of mostly fine fellows, even if Ibis is admittedly fonder of some of them than the others. (Hendyr always makes fun of the blue hue of his skin, and sweet sharp Tiadrin always glares at him for it.)

But the Spire isn't this quiet. It should never be this quiet.

He wills his wings away as he touches down on the Pinnacle, having came in from the eastern currents. Her Majesty had gone west to look for storms while King Avizandum remained behind to look after the egg, Ibis finding more wisps than anything suitable to hatch the Dragon Prince. He turns to take a gander, the clouds parting this time today to show the rolling green fields below, humming to himself. They will simply have to—

His heart plummets all the way to the bottom.

At first it looks like a statue, small yet horrifically big and strange. But it's made all wrong, lopsided wings, crumbling limbs even from this far, and garishly lifelike. Because that's... it can't be—

He swallows back bile and the urge to hurl himself off the Pinnacle to go and check what his eyes are plainly seeing, feet taking him quickly to the antechamber first. If Avizandum is fallen (what in Xadia could have? Nothing but the darkest of magics, he fears, heart racing), then the Dragonguard must've—

The antechamber is horribly vacant, the spot where the egg had laid so carefully, so quaintly, void of the prince. The world's future. The looking glass is gone, too.

There are no bodies.

Ibis despairs, sure that he must be wrong. Some of the Dragonguard might've wrong, Hendyr making quick work of the wings he was so proud of. But Lain and Tiadrin, he knows—knows their smiles and their wit, their devotion, giving up looking after their child to look after this one. They cannot—they couldn't have—they wouldn't have run.

But there are no bodies. Not even blood. Just a small chunk of ice surrounded in water.

His tears join it, dripping down his nose till the sky shakes, and he knows Her Majesty has returned. Somehow, he finds the strength to meet her eye (if she blames him for his absence, he will gladly let her run him through), her rage and grief as big and terrible as the storm she'd brought home to hatch her baby per tradition.

He watches as she flies down to the... grave, of her mate and returns with stormier eyes than ever.

Her—their family, gone.

"Who did this?" she growls, claws digging into the stone of her inner sanctum. "Who would—"

"I can fly," Ibis offers, "and see if I can track them." Depending on how many assailants were necessary to bring down the mightiest King of Dragons, they can't be too hard to find, and there are always spells that will whisper the wind's secrets to him.

He has to do something.

The Dragon Queen's nostrils flair. "Find them."

He does, perhaps a day's ride away from the Storm Spire and a much smaller party than expected: just two men with horses by a crackling campfire. It illuminates a man in black, and man in red finery, a crown upon his brow.

For a moment, Ibis thinks about murdering them himself—but he is not a killer, and it would not be fair. Her Majesty had not given him orders about what to do, only that he must come back and report.

Zubeia wails tear at his heart when he returns, her head tucked over her paws. He has never seen her look so pitiful before. "Who—" Her eyes clear and harden, like ice tinged in indigo. "Who did this?"

The answer drops easily from his mouth. "Katolis, Your Majesty. Their king, I believe; he wore the crown of the uneven towers."

Zubeia's eyes flash. "You must draft a letter for me, then."

"To whom, Your Majesty?"

It's hard, Tiadrin had said once, sharing some mead with him on a night off, being away from your child. I worry about Rayla all the time. But I know she's safe, and that's the most important thing. She, and Lain—they're my whole world.

Zubeia looks towards the exit of the antechamber, her upper lip peeling back to reveal her fangs. "The Silvergrove. Katolis must pay the price."

Ibis / Tiadrin

Vacant

yeah my bad, honestly forgot that he was half asian (I have not interacted w the show or fandom in a while, so thats on me tbh), but I definitely agree with your input. I know that Callum is the main character, so he’s going to get more love and attention, same as Rayla, especially since Rayllum is the main couple (not dissing on them or the ship ofc) but it really upsets me when I look for art/fics of Ezran he’s either A) with Callum or B) in the background of something Rayllum related and in fics i rarely ever see solo fics of just him, he’s either in the background of rayllum or being their therapist or something like that

TDP has done a good job when it comes to portraying their characters of color, and its nice to see POC in positions of power for once (Harrow, Ez, Janai, Anaya, Kasef, etc), I just wish that the fandom as a whole would do the same thing yknow?

I’ll get out of your askbox for now, but this was definitely something that was weighing on me for a while lol

Omg you're all good! That's actually why I've run two Ezran Appreciation Weeks (although I still need to finish my fics for the second one, but life got unexpectedly super busy) and why I use the tag Ezran centric for fics that well, focus primarily on him and his relationships, rather than him being in a supportive or background role. I still wanna write a fic about him and Janai (maybe I can work it into a speculative S5 piece, since it seems like maybe we'll get to see them on screen together, and they had a Lot of parallels in S4).

But yeah there are definitely people in the fandom who aren't open to critique in how they treat Ezran. I once pointed out that hey, most of the time when his character is incorrectly tagged in a post, it's almost always in relation to his brother. Did not go over well, but I don't really care. It was still worth saying (and hopefully people will think a bit more thoughtfully about it too).

We could definitely all do more; I do my best to put dents in it when I can, but with varying degrees of success I'm sure

List of Ezran focused fics for anyone who wants em! (to the dashboard, i know i've missed some, so please feel free to add 'em)

Depetrification Diaries Snippet

The apothecary had returned from her trip to the metalworkers' with a rather... Interesting souvenir.

"You can't possibly let her keep that thing, Master Jinshi," Suiren said, the two of them watching from afar as the apothecary delightedly brewed some sort of concoction in a ceramic bowl held up by stand over a jet of blue fire.

The fire emerged from a thin metal tube with a longer, more flexible tube running out from the base to a heavy metal container that Basen had had to drag in. The connector between the more flexible tube and the metal one had a screw which somehow controlled the intensity of the flame.

It created little to no smoke, the fire was incredibly precise, and yet it was much hotter than a standard wood fire. Jinshi understood why the apothecary liked it. Even if he couldn't understand how this thing worked.

"But who gave it to her?" he asked Basen, her assigned escort.

Basen crossed his arms, looking rather put out for someone who had willingly dragged in a major fire risk into the house. "Some eccentric guy named Senku."

"A bit bold, no?" Jinshi wondered aloud. It was a well-wrought tradition for names referencing the skies to be only for those of high rank. The trend had waned, but the Imperial line still favored it.

Basen nodded. "We've crossed paths a few times, and he's annoying as hell but practically nobody. His experiments have gotten some Shi clan funding, so he's been terrorizing craftsmen with impossible demands for the last year."

Experiments, huh? Jinshi couldn't help his curiosity, given the absolute glee on the apothecary's face when she had carted her prize home. Maybe if he could requisition the talent to provide her with more tools like this...

"What kind of experiments?"

Basen shrugged, "Well, he's always off on some different track, but the ones I've heard most are the strings of glowing orbs, the gold plating technique, the cure to pneumonia, this weird voice throwy magic spell his gang wanted to test on me, for some reason even though I don't even like them-"

"The what," Jinshi couldn't care less about Basen's rant, his mind stuck on the second to last item in Basen's list.
