It shouldn’t be so bright. It’s the only thought in Bull’s head. It shouldn’t be so bright. Sunlight he remembers from Seheron, the kind of light that glints in the corner of his eyes and reflects off the air and burns his skin to a crisp if he isn’t careful. Frozen in time it shines on the sand kicked up by Dimitri’s scrambling feet. 

Copper and rust and blue specks of sunlight. White hair flying into Dimitri’s face, his open mouth and wide eyes. There’s a moment right before something truly awful happens when Bull swears time stops working just so you know, down the marrow of your bones, how deeply the next heartbeat will hurt. And how little you can do to stop it from happening. 

But watch. 

It’s going to be too far. It had taken them hours to go around the gorge, there isn’t a safe way down. Bull can hear the blood rushing through his ears and he could almost swear it’s the wind whistling through Dimitri’s hair in the moment before Bull loses sight of him completely. 

He blinks and Dimitri is gone. 

Time returns as Bull sucks in a breath so sharply his teeth ache with it and when he yells its a roar, a challenge. The venatori Dimitri was fighting only has a second to enjoy the triumph of a well placed trap before Bull reaches him. And cleaves him in two. Blood and bits of flesh cling to Bull’s greataxe and the too hot sun blinds him with the crimson glare off the blade. 

It shouldn’t be so bright. Not, not like this. 

He doesn’t hear Dimitri land, he doesn’t hear anything except the hammering of his heart in his chest. For a brief, jarring beat Bull means to throw himself down there to reach Dimitri. Imprinted on his vision all Bull can see is the outline of Dimitri against the empty nothingness of the air, sand flashing around him like a halo in the sunlight. Blinding him. 

Bull’s seen bad falls before. He knows how bones can shatter and flesh can smear and it nearly stops him cold to think of Dimitri at the bottom of the gorge. In the shadows, broken and crumpled and splattered. Sand in his hair and blood on his lips. 

His knees hit the scorching sand, his brace scalding against his bad leg, and this time when Bull yells its a name. A plea. “Dimitri!”

Silence. Nothing but the howling wind and the burn of Bull’s eyes. “Kadan!” Again, again and again, Bull shouts until he’s hoarse. Until the sunlight catches the sand in a fractal of crimson tinged sky blue shine. The sun shouldn’t be shining. This can’t be happening. 

Its only been moments. Barely any time at all and yet Bull can feel the pull of years between the last glimpse he had of Dimitri and this moment with the howling wind the only sound coming from the gorge. It shouldn’t be so bright.

Adoribull Low-Hit FicRecFest Week #1: Post-Trespasser

Let’s begin at the end, shall we? (At least, the end for now!) Trespasser was a treasure for Adoribull shippers, as “It’s a whole lot of something” and “I’m hoping we’re good for each other” became “amatus” and “kadan” and ridiculous hugs and flexing met with horny giggles. But not only that, we got the END SLIDES, which gifted us with numerous tropes fic writers have been putting their own spin on ever since. But wait, what if you want angst instead? Trespasser also gave us T̸̤̬̼̑̽̂͝h̴̛͇̼̹̠̃̏̐e̸̩̘͚̚ ̵͈̜̦̓B̷͙͂̒à̸͚̭̹͑̄d̷̮̎̓̑ ̸̤͝Ĕ̷͙͇͉̰̌̚͠n̴͈̫͊d̴̹̯͖̙̓̓͝ĩ̷̹ǹ̵̦̞͕̒g̵̺̼̳̓͗.

Below I’ve gathered all the Adoribull-centric fics with under 1000 hits that deal with either 1) their villa on the border, 2) the Roaring Rampage of Rescue, 3) their sending crystals (not actually attested in game, but Patrick Weekes said so on Twitter because they ship it harder than any of us), and finally 4) T̸̤̬̼̑̽̂͝h̴̛͇̼̹̠̃̏̐e̸̩̘͚̚ ̵͈̜̦̓B̷͙͂̒à̸͚̭̹͑̄d̷̮̎̓̑ ̸̤͝Ĕ̷͙͇͉̰̌̚͠n̴͈̫͊d̴̹̯͖̙̓̓͝ĩ̷̹ǹ̵̦̞͕̒g̵̺̼̳̓͗.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read as many of these as you want, and then come back to Tumblr and tell us all which ones you recommend! (and please tag your post with #adoribull ficrecfest, or if you want to tweet your recs, use #AdoribullFicRecFest). Or you can discuss your recs on the All Things Adoribull Facebook group (private group, request to join). Also leaving kudos/comments on the fics would be nice for the authors!

god keep ur fucking kink meme shit out of ao3 tag y'all make this fandom even more insufferable than it already is and thats saying something!!! The kind of shit y'all post require a fucking trigger warning it doesnt belong in a safe space

[pris-writing-blog]

this is a reminder, PSA, reassurance etc etc for anybody who is second guessing their plot.

just because you are writing a book that contains:

a school for magic users

witches, wizards, magical folk

a summer camp (or just camp) for “special” kids

gods/goddesses (Greek Norse etc etc)

people who control the elements

people who hunt demons and other supernatural creatures

people in a dystopian society who break away from the government

people who live in a weird paranormal town

a horror/mystery with terrifying supernatural creatures

a main character who is not female

a main character with dead or missing parents

a character who lives with an abusive parent, family member, or guardian

does not mean it is:

a rip off harry potter (you could probably do better than rowling anyway)

popular and already seen a thousand times

copying Camp Half-Blood or the Parent Trap

a badly written Percy Jackson

an avatar knock off

stolen from the plot of supernatural or shadow hunters

basic, unrealistic, overused

taken from Tim Burton movies or Gravity Falls

trying to be Stephen King or Dean Koontz

sexist, anti-women

stereotypical, a sympathy trap, a typical sob story

inappropriate for younger audiences, a knock version of the Dursley’s or Al Marsh

but it does make it:

magical, a new glimpse at a new magical world, most likely 500x better than rowling’s

witches, wizards and magic folk will never go out of style. magic is so fucking cool and has so much potential for new and different plots, characters etc

fun!! who doesn’t love summer camps in books?? au’s? actual plot settings?? summer camp settings are amazing, top notch, just *chefs kiss*

i mean, we all love loki, so why not give us stories about his kids?? not necessarily fan fic, but seriously, ancient gods and goddesses are so dope and really deserve more modern books written about them.

not used often, and so cool to see societies built around the elements! i don’t think we’ve gotten enough content of different worlds that have powers withdrawn from elements, it’s such a cool and untouched area of magic!!

never overused. i could read books about supernatural creature hunters for the rest of my life. you can make your own creatures!! and add cool human-monster hybrids. god, the possibilities are limitless

weird paranormal towns are just the best. who doesn’t love weird, run down, and low populated towns with a complex supernatural backstory that revolves is crazy shit happening all the time?? if you don’t, you have no taste. sorry but, i don’t make the rules. paranormal small towns always have been and always will be the shit so please keep writing more

BE THE NEXT BIG HORROR WRITER. horror is such a complex genre to write and i honestly admire everyone who can write horror. i don’t think there’s nearly enough horror content coming out these days. give me more, MORE. nothing in that genre is overrated, write about vampires for all i care, sure it’s been done a thousand times, but with your own twist added, you can make something never seen before

i am a female. i dont get offended by main character being anything but. yes, there are far more male mcs than female, (in more popular modern literature) (and don’t get me started about the unrepresentation for non-binary, gender fluid, trans etc in literature. i will never stop ranting about it) but that doesn’t mean not making your mc female a crime.

dead parents are a common way of portraying a mc’s loneliness, lack of affection, lack of restraint, lack of a good parental figure. but, it can also be a good way to represent other things like their relationship with and other family member/guardian, that you’re parental figure doesn’t need to be a blood related parent. honestly, keep the dead parents trope comin, those kids are always awesome anyway

extremely realistic. not everyone has a perfect home life, and it’s important to see that in literature as well. who knows, if your mc escapes their abusive guardian, friend, significant other, it opens up the possibility to helping other in similar situations.

and most important of all, every single wip out there is:

unique

amazing

special

appreciated

awesome

dope as fuck

deserving of awards, praise, and popularity

not to be given up on

important

different

unlike anything else

loved, wanted, and needed

please don’t give up on your wip. it’s all of the above, and really deserves to see the light of being completed, ravished, praised, appreciated. someone out there will love it, i’m sure of that. so keep writing, keeping being awesome, and keep fucking writing. :)

Hey, if you are an artist and you wanna draw something from my fics, PLEASE DO IT

Source tweet

I have no idea if this is a common fear in artists as I have no artistic ability myself, but if thinking you might upset me is possibly holding you back, let me say resoundingly: NO

I would DIE of joy and my ego boosting into overdrive.

I don't mean this to pressure you one way or another, but if you are inspired by something I made, I think you should go for it and please please please please tag me so I can see it. I would be so thrilled to know I inspired something.

I just mean to say, if you have been nervous or waiting for permission...

Permission granted with abundant enthusiasm.

The Rebel’s Ascension

[Read on AO3] ∙ [Start on AO3] ∙ [Masterpost]

Welcome to an entirely new chapter. This one came out of nowhere, but I enjoyed writing it immensly. It was fun to peek into Felani’s mind for a change and add an extra layer of angst on top of the main story. Happy reading!

Special thanks to @thelittlestfische​ who helped me make this chapter as dark and angsty as possible. XD

NOTE: This chapter is NSFW. You can find a smut-free version over here. CWs for violence/murder, drug use and implied torture are in effect.

Word count: ~5,700 (~69,500 total)

Chapter 13: Birth by Fire

-3,700 Ancient

Ever since Sylaise had dreamed up the home she wanted to create for herself and her beloved husband, Felani had utterly loved the Sonallium. There had been something daring about the idea when Sylaise had first told her about her plan: to build an edifice, unlike anything the People had seen before. A perfect sphere, containing everything that life had to offer. Felani still remembered the sense of fulfillment and joy and happiness that had overflowed her sense when Sylaise had drawn from the energy of the Beyond to show Felani her dream.

“I want it to have everything June could possibly want,” Sylaise had said to her, eyes glistening with affection, “and you know his work better than anyone.”

That a powerful woman such as Sylaise, known for the care she put into her own work, would ask Felani for advice had been more than a compliment. It had felt as if she had ascended to new heights. She had caught a glimpse of that greatness Elgar’nan and Mythal had promised to the People. And Felani had felt drunk and dizzy with confidence as if she could conquer the whole world by herself. It had been intoxicating,and highly addictive.

From then on, she had worked tirelessly to help Sylaise, offering ideas of her own and making important revisions as the goddess’s plans for the Sonallium advanced. She had helped design the smithy that served as the main workshop for June and his workers and supported the entire monument with warmth and light. It had been her idea to have water run through the smooth stones of the Sonallium to keep the temperature within the sphere steady and she had crafted hundreds, if not thousands, of showpieces to decorate the halls and corridors. For the first time since Elgar’nan had shown her the dream of Elvhenan and had given her into June’s careful hands to learn from him, she had come close to realizing her full potential.

When Sylaise finally revealed her plan to June, the Master of Crafts had been overcome with such joy that he hadn’t been able to speak. The two Evanuris had stared at each other until June had drawn his wife into his arms and held her closely. Felani had never seen her master on the verge of tears before and never had again afterward.

Night had fallen over the Sonallium and the busy noise in the smithy was slowly dying down. Felani wiped the sweat from her brow and moved her left arm in its socket to release a tiny bit of that tension that had built up in her muscles while she worked. She had abandoned the sling in which she had carried the arm the day after Solas had left Arlathan and tried harder than ever to regain the strength and precision she had become used to. Crafting the armor for Solas certainly had contributed to that, but she couldn’t help but get to work again as soon as she had returned to her workshop.

Felani drew from the magic in her blood to guide the flames of the furnace towards the freshly-forged blade she was working on. Light licked at the dark steel, making it easier for her to fold and strengthen the metal.

The folding of steel had been one of the first techniques June had taught her after she had pledged loyalty to him and that knowledge had allowed her to craft marvels that were only second to her master’s creations. This blade, however, was something different. She would use her knowledge and experience to mold it into something new. It would serve a new purpose once – or if – the All-Mother decided to free her. Therefore, Felani had sent all assistants and spirits away to work alone and in silence. The blade was her little secret and she wouldn’t show it to anyone until it was ready.

Luckily, the Master of Crafts had left the Sonallium to pay a visit to his sibling Dirthamen. No one, not even Sylaise, expected him to return soon. Felani guessed that her master would be gone for a fortnight at least and she had breathed a little easier ever since Sylaise had given her the news.
