12 Days of Smuff Masterlist

Aemond Targaryen x OC

Series Masterlist (ONGOING) (18+)

Lady Arianwyn Targaryen, Lady of Runestone, was not born of love. Nor passion. Nor even a sense of duty. She was seeded by her father, the Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen, in an act of unbridled hatred, and borne of her mother, the late Lady Rhea Royce, as a desperate grasp at revenge. But even a child born of such darkness can find her way to the light. With her mother dead, and father flown across the Narrow Sea with a new wife, the girl is taken in by her Aunt, the Queen Alicent Hightower, to be raised among the little family she has left. There, she finds her cousin, Prince Aemond Targaryen. As they grow, the two find themselves indelibly bonded. The two spend long nights in the palace library together, studying the histories of both Old Valyria and the First Men, seeking to understand who they are and where they fit in the world. But finding that place proves more difficult than in the fairy tales they read. The seeds of disaster were laid long before they were born, and as tensions in the family rise, it seems as though their places may begin to diverge. Will they let themselves be pulled apart as the dragons dance?

Warnings: Mentions of rape, m/f smut, violence

Studious (Completed) (18+) Aemond Targaryen x Reader

Moodboard by @sapphirehearteyes

Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV - Part V - Part VI

Your marriage to the One-Eyed Prince is not as romantic as you hoped. The wedding night is beyond awkward and confusing, and afterward, your husband seems more than content to ignore you. But you keep finding yourself drawn to him, and the strange way he makes you feel. And though you don't know it, he is drawn to you as well.

Warnings: SMUT, p in v sex, masturbation (m and f) bad sex (these kids have no idea what they're doing), Aegon saying Aegon things, all the awkwardness in the world

What is Broken (Completed) Aemond Targaryen x Pregnant Sister-wife!Reader

Series Masterlist

The war, the "Dance of the Dragons," as they have come to call it, is over. And yet, you are not celebrating. You have just learned that your husband, Prince Aemond, spent the last months of the war with another woman in his bed. Not only that, but his mistress is pregnant. Just like you...

Warnings: Angst, pregnancy and related symptoms, infidelity, childbirth

Inconceivable (WIP) Aemond Targaryen x Sister!Reader

Part I - Part II

Westeros has been at peace for nearly a year, and a wedding has been planned to celebrate the anniversary. King Jacaerys will marry his aunt, the only surviving child of the Greens, and unite both Targaryen bloodlines at last. It is a fairy tale ending, but this is no ordinary fairy tale...

Warnings: Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... Angst, grief, forced marriage, more to be added

My Fair Lady's Maid (WIP) (18+) Prince Aemond Targaryen x Lady's Maid!Reader

Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV - Part V - Part VI - Part VII - Part VIII - Part IX - Part X

Frustrated with his grandsire's tedious and thorough process of choosing him a "suitable" bride, Aemond makes a declaration that a lady's maid could be indistinguishable from a true noblewoman so long as she was sufficiently dressed and educated in embroidery, conversation, and the like. Otto takes this as a challenge, and gives Aemond four months to turn one of Helaena's lady's maids into a noblewoman.

Warnings: Aemond being an entire cunt

The Girl at the Table (WIP) (18+) Michael Gavey x Reader

Michael has a plan for Oxford: complete his degree at the top of the class, avoid the wealthy, spoiled pricks that make up the majority of the student body, and stay focused. The plan begins well, until a girl begins sitting at his study table.

Warnings: Smut, math

Monsters in the Garden (ONGOING) (DDDNE) (18+) Ettore x Reader

Part I - Part II - Part III

No one comes to your garden but you, not even Dr. Dibs. So what is the most dangerous man on the ship doing leaning against your doorway and watching you work?

Warnings: SMUT; hand job; kissing; blood; mentions of rape, murder, and violence; female genital mutilation; vague mentions of corpse mutilation

Storge, Philia, Eros, and Agape (WIP) Osferth x Reader

Series Masterlist

When he arrives in Coccham to join with Lord Uhtred Ragnarsson's band of righteous warrior, Osferth does not get the greeting he expected. Uhtred himself is very clear that he has only accepted the young monk to irritate his father, and the few warriors he is introduced to delight in picking fun at him. Still, it is better than the monastery, the Lady of the estate is kind to him, and the servant girl who leads him to his new chambers is... something entirely new to Osferth. Something that, perhaps, will help him understand what the Bible means when it speaks of love.

Note: This is a series of inter-connected oneshots that can be read together or on their own.

That Pointy-Eared Blond Bastard (WIP) (18+) Half-Vulcan!Aemond x Human(?)Reader

Graduation - Away Team - Red Alert - Holodeck - Pon Farr

You are Aemond's greatest rival at Starfleet Academy. Or you would be, if he cared enough to have rivals. Vulcans don't care that much. But Aemond is only half Vulcan. And you... you bring out something decidedly non-Vulcan in him.

A Companion (WIP) Otto Hightower x Young Widow!Reader

Series Masterlist

At the suggestion of Princess Rhaenyra, King Viserys Targaryen had commanded that his Hand, Otto Hightower, find a new bride. Preferably at the King's own wedding to Otto's daughter Alicent. While the Princess intended the suggestion as a form of revenge for Otto's machinations which led to the royal engagement, he intends to make the best of it. While he has always known that his late wife, Madelyn, is the great love of his life, he welcomes the idea of finding a tolerable companion. What he doesn't expect is you, a lady widowed far too young, who begins to spark feelings within him he thought long extinguished.

Deltora, a subversion of fantasy tropes (or perhaps more accurately going back to it's roots)

@yellow-eyed-green-crocodile OK, here we go.

Deltora Quest is a children's book series. It consists of 16 books, though it exists in an expanded universe which contains another 12 books, not counting Tales of Deltora, Secrets of Deltora, and Monsters of Deltora (as well as the little-known extra book The Land of Dragons, which contains about half of what's in Tales of Deltora plus 3 additional stories which you can't find anywhere else).

The books were written during that time when Scholastic was doing it's darnedest to get kids to actually pick up a book and read. You know, the era of Animorphs, Secrets of Droon, and other books like that. Pre-harry-potter stuff. But deltora always stuck out as somewhat... odd.

For one thing, the setting. Deltora is a land absolutely INFESTED with horrifying monsters. we're talking lovecraft-level stuff. indeed, these things are so powerful that going toe-to-toe with them in conventional combat is laughably absurd. I mean, just look at this thing:

each of those little globes is a stomach the size of a PERSON. a sword ain't doin SHIT against that thing. and it wasn't even the primary monster from the book it came from. do you know what was? THE SAND IT'S STANDING ON. YES, THAT ENTIRE DESERT IS A SINGLE MONSTER.

there are also dark sorcerers, capable of, for example, turning an entire town into a fetid swamp in a split second, and deflecting any weapon directed at them. the main villain is a sorcerer of such incredible power that he makes zeus and odin look like chumps.

in order to defeat these creatures, the main characters are consistently forced to use their wits instead of their weapons.

but this isn't what I am writing this post about. every fantasy book has monsters of some kind. probably. no, what REALLY stands out about the Deltora Quest series is the BELT.

this is the Belt of Deltora, a composite magic item formed from 7 gems, each linked to the power of the land, bound together by a belt made by a simple blacksmith who united the seven tribes of deltora and became it's first king. it is considered the single most powerful mystical object on the continent, and uniting it is Deltora's only hope for survival.

except from a generic fantasy perspective, it kinda sucks.

in most generic fantasy settings, the characters are attempting to accumulate magical power which they can use to engage their enemies directly in combat; alternatively, they may be trying to build a big enough army or something similar. but the gems don't work like that. lets take a look at what the gems can actually do, shall we?

the Diamond: Gem of Strength or Fortitude, can give physical strength, fortitude, and courage to the wielder, as well as the ability to cure diseases in the person who touches it. it punishes those who attempt to take it in a dishonorable manner with misfortune. It can allow the wearer to telepathically communicate with and heal Diamond Dragons, and a nearby dragon of it's type boosts it's power, and vice versa. it also has this weird synergy with the topaz where the topaz can summon the strength of everyone who believes in the wearer (in a metaphorical sense) and the diamond transforms that belief into physical strength.

the Emerald: Gem of Honor, dulls in the presense of evil or at the location of a broken vow, is a remedy for sores and ulcers, and is an antidote to poison for whomever touches it. It can allow the wearer to telepathically communicate with and heal Emerald Dragons, and a nearby dragon of that type boosts it's power, and vice versa. Note that out of all the dragons, emerald dragons are arguably the biggest and most powerful. It might have other powers as well, as it's potential isn't as well explored as the other gems.

Lapis Lazuli: Gem of Luck or Providence, protects the wearer from evil and brings good fortune. also may have some subtle effect on the weather, though that hasn't been confirmed. it is arguably the most powerful of the gems for the protection it provides, but the nature of it's power is ill defined, and certainly outside of the wearer's ability to control. It also allows you to detect the location of the Opal as if it were a compass, and is more powerful when in close proximity to it. It can allow the wearer to telepathically communicate and heal Lapis Lazuli dragons, and a nearby dragon of that type boosts it's power, and vice versa. If the opal has it's power boosted by a nearby opal dragon, the Lapis Lazuli's power is also boosted if they are close to each other.

Topaz: Gem of Faith, can allow the wearer to make contact with the spirit world during a full moon. the character can see ghosts, and sometimes the spirits of the hallowed dead (those who are in heaven) will appear to the character and given advice, those this is extremely rare. It also clears and strengthens the mind and protects the wearer from the terrors of the night (also ill-defined). It's powers are all strengthened during the full moon. It can allow the wearer to telepathically communicate with and heal topaz dragons, and a nearby dragon of that type boosts it's power, and vice versa.

Opal: Gem of Hope, has the power to give glimpses of the future and can enhance the wearer's vision, and it can also fill the wearer with hope for the future (which helps counteract the panic that the visions of the future often produce). It can detect the Lapis Lazuli like a compass, and is more powerful when in close proximity to it. It allows the wearer to telepathically communicate with and heal opal dragons, and a nearby dragon of that type boosts it's power, and vice versa. If the Lapis Lazuli has it's power boosted by a nearby lapis lazuli dragon, the opal's power is also boosted if they are close to each-other.

The Ruby: Gem of Happiness or Love, it grows pale in the presense of evil, or when misfortune threatens it's wearer. Can be used in conjunction with the emerald to fully distinguish between danger, evil, and vow-breakers, since their powers overlap a little. It wards off evil spirits (also ill-defined) and is an antidote to snake venom, and also apparently repels snakes and venomous creatures in general. It allows the wearer to telepathically communicate with and heal ruby dragons, and a nearby dragon of that type boosts it's power, and vice versa.

The Amethyst: Gem of Truth or Wisdom, changes color in the presence of illness, pales near poisoned food or drink, and guides the wearer toward sincerity, security and peace of mind (AKA calming the wearer when touched). It also boosts the power of Toran Magic. By A LOT. It allows the wearer to telepathically communicate with and heal Amethyst dragons, and a nearby dragon of that type boosts it's power, and vice versa.

True, this is a lot of variety in powers, but with the exception of the Diamond most of this is pretty useless in combat. Especially given that the sorcerers in this world can do things like call lightning down from the sky, or create and control thousands of soldiers made out of goo. And compared to the combat capabilities of end-game weapons of other setting? it's chump change. it should be noted that the gems DO NOT allow the wielder to control dragons, only telepathically communicate with them, meaning that the King of Deltora must still negotiate to get any help, and the Dragons are rarely cooperative, even in the face of their own extinction. The gems don't give you the ability to control the elements, warp space and time, kill with a thought, fly, or turn into a glowing giant (whatever the anime adaptation might say to the contrary).

No, what the gems allow the user to do is: keep a level and clear head, detect potentially dangerous situations, and heal people of ailments.

but here's the thing; given what I said about the monsters in deltora, any of the spectacular kinds of magic would be pretty much useless. The Shadow Lord is beyond anything any mortal is capable of fighting; he has integrated his twisted will with the spirit of half a continent, and has experimenting with new and more twisted kinds of magic for thousands of years. Frankly, even by the standards of most "dark lords" like Sauron, Melkor, and Galbatorix, he is unimaginably powerful. a direct confrontation with him is laughable.

so then, why is the Belt considered one of the most powerful objects on the planet?

Well, because what it grants isn't power.

it grants FREEDOM.

freedom is defined as "the power, rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so perform deliberate actions on one's own responsibility. By free will one shapes one's own life. Human freedom is a force for growth and maturity in truth and goodness[...]" -Catechism of the Catholic Church section 1731

in other words, Freedom, properly defined, is not the ability to do what one wants; that is power, not freedom. Freedom is the ability to do what one NEEDS to do. Freedom to protest. Freedom to preach. Freedom to worship. Freedom to defend oneself both physically and legally. These are freedoms.

Now lets look again at what the belt enables one to do. It allows one to clear and calm one's mind and strengthens one's will, heals, protects from certain kinds of danger, and allows one to heal others. These are not powers, they are FREEDOMS.

oh yeah, and I forgot one more of these freedoms:

WHEN ALL THE GEMS ARE PUT IN THE BELT TOGETHER, THEY PRODUCE A MAGICAL SCREEN WHICH BANISHES DARK MAGIC AND THOSE WHOSE SOULS ARE TAINTED BY IT.

it is not combat power, but it is a power FAR GREATER THAN ANY COMBAT POWER COULD EVER FEASIBLY BE

In a sense, this subverts normal fantasy tropes by going back to its roots. When JRR Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings, he wrote a book about simple working class and middle class people defeating an evil by DESTROYING POWER (with a One Ring being a kind of stand-in for power itself in all it's forms). yet, it seems that every writer since has taken a look at his work and gone "look at all this cool world-building and monsters and magic! but the protagonists and themes are kinda lame. I KNOW, i'll REPLACE those complex and nuanced themes with EDGY GRIZZLED WARRIORS AND POWER-HUNGRY SORCERERS, and make the story all about CONSOLIDATING AS MUCH POWER AS POSSIBLE TO DEFEAT SOMEONE WHO HAS ALSO CONSOLODATED AS MUCH POWER AS POSSIBLE, BUT IN AN EVIL WAY. sometimes they even have their characters performing actions which are completely morally bankrupt (razing cities, killing civilians or surrendering enemies, etc), and justify it because "main villain is worse". because in other words, most fantasy writers decided to completely rip off all of tolkien's world, down to the very creatures that inhabit it, but HORRIBLY INVERT the themes

Meanwhile, Deltora seems to do the opposite. It doesn't copy Tolkien's world. there are similarities; the Shadow Lord is kinda like Sauron if you squint a little. but the world is populated with plenty of creatures that don't line up at all, and even those that are similar are only superficially so. meanwhile, Emily Rodda (the author) took a look at Tolkien's themes, smiled and nodded, and proceeded to ELABORATE UPON THEM. The kingdom of deltora fell because the rulers detached themselves from the needs of the common man and physically separated themselves from them out of cowardice. the shadow lord twists and destroys nature to produce his horrific experiments which mirror in many ways modern genetic engineering. the battle is won not through force of arms, but through planning, cleverness, and uniting the tribes under a common cause.

there are other things, like how each gem corresponds to one of the seven virtues, or how so much emphais is put on using logic to solve problems, and similar things, but this post is long as it is, so i'm going to stop here.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 75 total works currently!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

904,821 total words written!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently only really DSMP, but in the past I've written for bnha, marvel, rise of the guardians, homestuck, transformers and a bunch of other random ones in there.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Before looking, my guess is it'll all be bnha, since some of those are my longer ones and and got pretty popular.

Katsuki Bakugou has No Goddamn Chill (But It's For The Best That He Doesn't) - 26,412 kudos

Lessons Learned - 15,859 kudos

You know that thing where an orchestra swaps instruments, and like, some of them get it right away, but others have no clue what they're doing? This is that but with quirks, two unwilling participants, and also Emotions - 11,774 kudos

The Green Eyed Monster - 7,066 kudos

A Yellow Box, Time, Trust, and A Few Adjustments - 6,579 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Not usually, I respond sometimes if there's something that catches my attention. but. Uh.

This my inbox filtered by "comments without replies". I do read them all though! Even if I don't mark them as read.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uhhhh, for dsmp they aren't too bad but probably A Palimpsest Mind.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

For DSMP again, Mercenary to Mailman

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

Nope, never really had issues with that. I've had a couple of weirdos but not really hate.

9. Do you write smut?

I did it once to prove I could but I didn't find it too interesting. Sometimes ideas can be fun but ever since the one time I found myself just wanting to write something else when I tried.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Nah, it's not my thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, very weirdly. Was able to get it taken down though!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have! Several of my fics have been translated and it was super cool!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

I don't think I have? But I've done RP and worked out ideas with people before!

14. What‘s your all-time favorite ship?

Uh, honestly I'm less interested in ships themselves and more the nonsense that you can create with that. Any ship can be my favorite if it serves my purposes.

15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Fissile Family tbh. I have so much written for that and it all planned out but my interested in the bnha fandom is currently dead.

16. What’s your writing strengths?

I'm a pretty fast writer overall, and I think I do well with characterization and dialogue. I know that when I get in a flow I can get character voices down pretty well and that's something that I'm proud of. I'm also pretty good with doing my own take on characters that's different from their canon versions but is still verisimilar.

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

Sometimes I just forget words or switch what sentence I'm writing halfway through and then never catch it. Also I have to actively beat back my own comma abuse.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

It's neat? Unclear what this question is asking me for.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Warrior cats! It was hand written in a binder that I actually still have, about clans in an abandoned shopping mall. It was very silly and I'm still proud of baby me for writing it!

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Seven Year Old Katsuki Has The Ability To Kill A Grown Man And No Concept Of Legality

The formatting on this one was insane and took so long and I'm proud of how it came out!

Note

Honestly I've been shipping N and Arven a bit lately. Your Green-Eyed series inspires 'angry-I-have-feelings' trope writing in me. *coughs* just put a self insert into that floofhair sandwich-

Hoo boy SO

I'm glad!!!! This ended up being way longer than intended and STILL ISNT DONE BUT HERES PART 3 LETS GO LESBIANS

Green Eyed Tera-Type Pt. 3

Arven x Reader, ft. N

This one has an insinuation of potential SA, but nothing of the sort actually happens. It's entirely a misunderstanding. Same as last time there is some slight violence/gore.

There are crystals... Shining, reflective crystals like mirrors all around you. They gleam, opalescent, casting artificial rainbows that are so bright it makes your head throb.

You squint just to see.

Just the tiniest movement sends the reflections all haywire. Your vision can't focus.

You try.

Is...is that you..?

You think that's your reflection in the crystal...but something's wrong. Reflections...don't do that. They change based on angles. This is like...a camera feed shown in 12 places at once...and...it's wrong. It's you and not you all at once.

You blink hard.

The image shifts.

It's...the professor...and the penultimate monster of a paradox pokemon you took down before the time machine was finally stopped.

The professor's eyes gleam that same colorless and yet every-color-at-once opal.

You open your mouth to say something, anything, and they're both gone, swirled together.

The rainbows turn sour and dark, churning like rancid milk until it becomes a sticky black tar...crinkling with red electricity...

The wild hare eyes of Cinderace meet yours. They're reflected a thousand and a thousand times more in the glass mirrors (not mirrors) that surround you, unblinking.

You want to brace for the impact of its attack, but all you can do is shake like a smoliv. Your mouth is open; you're screaming so loud that it hurts; your throat feels like fire, but no sound escapes you.

Then you're being shaken--no.

Rocked?

Rocked...

Rocked......

It's gentle.

There's cold air and warmth all at once.

Hands on you...

You hear a voice, but you don't understand it other than soft hushes.

It sounds nice. Gentle... Calming... You want to focus on that.

Then there's a pink light that shines from beyond your closed eyes (when did you eyes close? They're too heavy to open now...)

And you drift into nothingness.

N silently thanks Chansey for the heal pulse that helped send you back to sleep.

He's still got you in his arms, holding you gently as a pokemon egg as he brushes his spindly fingers through your hair in an attempt to be comforting.

At least you're not quivering like a leaf anymore.

He wonders if fever dreams like this are common after head injuries. Is it a fever dream? Is it a sign of infection?

He really wishes he could get you somewhere better. Safer.

He could send out one of his pokemon, but where would they go? From whom would they search for help?

Wait.

His pokemon can't help here...

But one of yours probably could!

N reaches over as best he can with you still cradled in his arms and drags your bag over by his foot. Once it's close enough, he reaches in with a hand and pulls out a pokeball.

Skeledirge is inside, and it loudly greets the two of you with its usual Jurassic sounding cry.

The crocodile probably wouldn't be the best for getting help, but it will definitely help keep you both warm.

N tries to explain the situation as best he can, and Skeledirge seems to understand well enough. It dawdles over and curls up around you, huffing warm air with each sigh. It also vibrates a low, mournful sort of humming sound. Certainly not a dirge, but definitely sad.

N grabs another PokeBall and lets its inhabitant free.

He's met with a quadrupedal...dragon? Thing? He's never met this pokemon of yours before, but it eyes him up and down curiously before chirping and shaking its head satisfactorily.

He tries communicating with it as he has every other pokemon he's ever known, but...this one doesn't...seem to respond the same way. He thinks the dragon understands. It sidles up to you and rubs its face against your arm, making a soft worried sound, but other than that, it doesn't seem to listen to anything N has to say. Or really respond to him.

N sighs. Dragons really don't like ice. He won't ask this pokemon to go out in the storm, so he resigns himself to grab another ball from your bag. However the moment he reaches down, your dragon lifts its head, looking out of the exit to the cave, as if hearing something far off, and then it darts out into the cold.

N's stomach sinks. He really hopes the dragon is off to get help and that he didn't just release a pokemon you'd been trying to tame.

...Maybe he should leave the remainder of your PokeBalls alone.

Arven paid out his ass to get a cab to Montenevera in this storm, and the cabbie was more than displeased at him for the hassle. Arven thanked and tipped him profusely for the trouble before he hauled ass back down the mountain to safety for the poor bird pokemon.

Shit. Arven wasn't going to be able to rely on another cab.

...and none of his pokemon were really suited for the cold. Sure cloyster is half ice, but...not really one for hiking. Scovillain is half fire, but the other half is super weak to ice.

Fuck.

At least he has his good puffer jacket and layers that he was able to change into in the cab. He also double checked that he has plenty of first aid supplies for...whatever mess he finds.

He just has to keep moving. Just don't stop.

If he stops he'll think about area zero, and then he'll think about--

Nope he's not letting his mind go there.

He can't go get more herba mystica with you to fix you up if you're the one who's unresponsive and--

He's not going to think about it.

He just starts up along the path with barely enough presence of mind to text Penny that he's going up a mountain to look for you and that he's leaving his location on in case something bad happens.

The storm is absolute bullshit. He hates the cold. He hates snow. He hates not knowing where the fuck you are. The fact that that weirdo is with you? The fact that he hung up? And wouldn't answer any other calls? Fuck. He's seething. He knows for a fact now that anger can't keep him warm because the bitter bite of the wind only adds to the maelstrom raging in Arven's mind over this whole debacle.

Fuck, he hates the cold.

He swears loudly when a particular gust of icy wind knocks him off path.

The snow is falling fast and thick, snowflakes clumped together in thick bundles larger than any raindrop would ever dare to be.

Arven braces an arm in front of himself against the wind and keeps trudging forward.

He yells your name into the gale, but it's swallowed up entirely.

He doesn't even know where he's going. A cave, maybe? Should he look for a cave?

But how can he look for anything when all that's around is blinding white snow and the angry grey of the sky?

He yells your name again, his voice cracking on it.

Is he crying? His eyelashes feel crunchy and hard when he blinks.

Arven falls to his knees in the snow.

How is he supposed to find you? What is he going to do? Has he lost his mind? He could die out here.

You...

You could already be dead.

A sharp, familiar cry catches his ears, then the sound of crunching snow behind him.

Arven turns to find 'Raidon there, and his jaw drops.

"B-buddy!" An exceedingly rare nickname for the brute. "Where--" The wind picks up, blowing snow into his mouth. Arven coughs and struggles to stand, so the dragon moves closer, helping balance and lift him up and get him mounted.

Once seated, Arven leans in. "Do you know where to go?" He asks.

Raidon gives an affirmative full body shake and zips off with a chirp.

You've got a fever. N is nearly certain of that.

But...you're shivering, even with Skeledirge wrapped warmly around you.

N isn't sure what to do about it.

Fevers are good. Right? Not permanently, of course. But they kill of bad bacteria in the body? So, should he let you sweat it out? Or...should he be trying to cool you down?

You probably need water, too...

He rifles through his bag for a water bottle. Luckily he has one that hasn't frozen over.

N lifts you up a bit to sitting, and you groan. Chansey stands from the corner to try and assist some. She helds keep you steady in N's grasp as he holds the water to your mouth.

"C-can you drink? It's just water..." He says it in his language, which he knows you don't understand, but hopefully you can pick up the calm tone of his voice, like a pokemon would?

He wracks his mind trying to remember the Paldean word for water for a moment before it hits him and he says that instead.

That seems to do the trick, and you start to drink just a bit.

N rubs your shoulders gently as you do. "You're okay... You're safe." He tells you, again in Paldean.

"...N?" You say groggily after taking a break from drinking. Your eyes are still sorely closed, your brow furrowed in pain.

His heart lurches a bit when you say his name.

"Y-Yes! N!" Even in his excitement, he still speaks softly to you. "Here. Water." He encourages you to drink more, and you gratefully accept.

"What...what happened...? Everything hurts..." Your voice cracks into a bit of a sob, but the act of heaving breaths to cry only makes you hurt even worse.

N shushes you gently, running his hands through your hair in what he hopes is a comforting gesture.

"Cinderace raid...went bad..."

"Where..." You try not to heave your breathing, but you're finding it difficult to get air. "Where are we?"

"Uh... Snowy...big...?" N tries to tell you.

Your brain hurts, and you can't think well, so you drop it. "Sure..." You cough lightly, and N offers you more water, which you try to guzzle down.

That ends up being a mistake, because you end up choking and coughing at the same time.

The act of coughing then reopens that stupid fucking wound on your torso, making you cry out in pain and promptly black out again.

N falters for a moment, moving as best as he can to look at the injury.

His hands falter. You're out like a like a light and bleeding all over.

This is so bad. He needs bandages, and he really doesn't think it's a good idea to keep you in a wet, bloody shirt in the cold...

He does his best to move you as little as possible as he removes your shirt to examine the wound. You groan terribly in your unconscious state but are otherwise immobile and unresponsive.

His hands hover over your covered but bleeding injury as you moan. What is he going to do?

Raidon gets Arven to the entrance of the cave as quickly as it can, and it seems like it isn't a moment too soon. He could hear your shouts of pain from a distance, and as he enters the den, he can see that green haired bozo hovering over your shirtless form as you miserably cry.

Arven sees red.

"Hey!" He shouts, hopping off the dragon and bounding over to the two of you in less than two paces.

Raidon stays by the mouth of the cave.

N stands and turns with an utterly terrified look across his features.

"Arve--" He starts.

Arven decks him with one swift motion. "Who the fuck do you think you are, doing something like that?"

N hits the ground hard and backs up to the wall.

Arven releases Mabosstiff from his ball. "Keep him there, bud." He commands before turning to you.

Mabosstiff growls lowly and approaches N with a menacing sneer.

Arven is down on his knees at your side in a second.

He was hoping he could just grab you and go if he could, but he's not sure he can move you like this.

"Shit, shit, shit... Hey, buddy... Can you hear me?" He asks, opening up his backpack and pulling out the first aid kit.

You groan.

Arven feels his vision going distant again, so he blinks hard and presses his nails to his palms as he keeps talking to you. He won't let himself dissociate because he's in a state of panic.

"I-I'm gonna... I'm gonna patch you up, okay?"

Arven tenderly unwraps the...shirt? That was previously used as a bandage around your torso's injury. The wound is jagged and ugly and bleeding, and Arven wants to look away, but he can't. He won't let himself turn away when you need him.

He grabs a disinfectant from the first aid kit and takes your hand in his.

"I dunno if you can hear me, but I'm sorry in advance. This is gonna sting, but it's better than getting infected. Okay? Squeeze my hand if you need. I'm here."

You give a noncommittal sound in response, and he pours.

You give a gutteral cry that breaks into sobs, jolting up and heaving forward into Arven. He holds you tightly there, squeezing your hand comfortingly.

"Shhhh...I know... I know... It'll fade soon."

"A-Arven...?"

"Y-Yeah, bud... I'm here..."

You're silent again after that. When your breathing steadies, Arven leans you back against the wall to examine the wound. It seems like the disinfectant has wiped away a good bit of the blood. You're still actively bleeding, but it's less of a mess now that a lot of it has been cleaned.

He takes some gauze and antibiotic cream from his kit and lightly presses it to the injury. You stir but don't have nearly the same intense reaction as the burning disinfectant.

Arven sighs, a little relieved, then gets to work cleaning up the rest of the drying, coagulating blood on your torso and getting you wrapped up in bandages.

He moves you gingerly with careful hands that are used to working with a sensitive and dearly loved patient.

Once he's got your wound at least temporarily cared for before he can get you to an actual medical professional, he rifles through his bag again, pulling out one of his hoodies. Sure it'll be big on you, but it's warm and dry.

He dresses you like a doll, speaking softly and hoping you keep answering even if only in little mumbles or groans.

You eventually slump forward into him, and Arven holds you there gently, rubbing circles against your back.

"I got you... I got you..." He repeats softly, over and over again, and he isn't sure if it's to comfort himself or you.

The two of you sit like that for a long time as the storm blows angrily outside the cave.

Eventually a soft voice speaks up from behind Arven.

"Good...?"

Arven turns slowly to look toward N, and he can feel murder sink into his veins. He's about to ask him what the hell he thought he was going to do to you, what with your shirt off and those hovering hands and you crying, and, fuck, Arven feels sick just thinking about it. He wants to punch him again right in his filthy, horrible mouth, knock his teeth in, break his fingers for even attempting to touch you like that. Especially when you're so horribly hurt.

But...he sees Mabosstiff there, curled up happily at N's side, lazily wagging his tail while N mindlessly strokes his dewlap, one of his favorite spots.

Mabosstiff doesn't just let anybody pet him there.

N sees the baffled look on Arven's face and smiles weakly through a rapidly bruising black eye. He gently pats Mabosstiff.

"Him and I are friends. He is a good boy."

Mabosstiff boofs and wags his tail with a bit more gusto.

Arven looks to his dog. He told him to keep N in place menacingly, but now he's all sweet as a puppy with the foreigner.

Mabosstiff isn't one to just be swayed by treats or something.

Arven narrows his eyes.

"What did you do?"

"We talk... He is a good boy. He loves you muchly."

"What do you mean, you talked? He's a pokemon. He can't speak." Arven holds you a bit tighter. What was this freak's deal?

N shrugs. "I...talk pokemon."

Mabosstiff boofs in agreement to the statement and leans heavily upon N who continues to give him those good scratches.

"I... I don't care what you speak. I saw what you were doing when I got here, you sick freak. You're lucky there were more pressing matters to attend to, or I'd have beaten you into a pulp for what you were trying to pull." Arven positions himself in a way such that you're even further from N, and Arven himself can act as a barrier.

N tilts his head to the side. "I do not understand..." N gestures to you with a nod. "...Better? I ask Chansey to help, but..." He motions to the Chansey which Arven only just now notices is nearby, shuffling next to N as she tries to look at his black eye. "Not lots of the help?" He says.

Arven heaves a sigh.

"A pokemon can't patch up an open wound like this." He says, though he doubts N really gets it. "Then again, heal pulse probably has anti-anxiety and calming properties... That maybe helped with the panic and shock?" He knows now that N isn't following. Maybe...maybe this guy really wasn't trying something funny?

"You don't know anything about first aid, do you?"

N gives him a blank stare, and Arven lifts up his medical kit, while still keeping one arm protectively around you.

"First. Aid." He says slowly. "If you get injured."

N shakes his head. "I don't have first aid... I'm sorry. No...uh...first aid," He repeats the term, "So..." He motions to the discarded and bloody shirt he'd wrapped around you earlier. "That for...ouch." N winces. He knows that isn't the word he wants.

"The injury." Arven corrects.

"That for the injury. Thank you."

Arven nods slowly, and he has a feeling that...maybe...maybe he might've been a little bit of a dick punching N in the face.

He doesn't really regret it... Maybe. But still.

He sighs.

"You should get some ice on your eye." He gestures to N's bruising. "Plus..." He rifles through the kit and removes a bottle of anti-inflammatory pills. "These should help with some of the soreness. Take 2." He holds up two fingers then tosses N the bottle.

N looks dumbfounded but catches the bottle regardless. "Uh... Thank you." He didn't entirely understand, but he trusts this should help. "Mm...Water?"

He kinda let you finish his last water.

Arven blanches, grabbing a massive bottle from his bag and handing it over.

"You have no water left?"

N would have turned a shade or so pinker had he not currently been fighting to stay warm without one of his usual layers.

He shakes his head and gestures to you.

That's something Arven immediately understands. "Well. Uh... You should take those pills. But..maybe not on an empty stomach..?" Fuck, Arven can feel himself shifting into parent mode. He's supposed to hate this guy! But he did try to look after you...and it seems like he needs someone to look after him too.

He reaches back into his bag and pulls out a sandwich. Nothing fancy, but it's something.

N's eyes light up, and he licks his lips.

"Here," Arven says, handing it to him. "We're probably stuck here while we wait for the storm to let up anyway, so we may as well get fed."

From the corner of his eye, Arven spots 'Raidon trying to sneak toward N and his sandwich. Arven stops him with a hand and a quick "Hey! I've got food for you too, you brute, just hold on..." He starts rifling through his bag again to find another sandwich that he tosses the dragon's way.

He entirely misses the way N's eyes shine as he bites into his sandwich, how he's nearly brought to tears over how good just a simple bit of food is after such a harrowing experience.

He also misses the way his eyes gleam as he watches N share more food with 'Raidon and the other pokemon in the cave, even the wild Chansey.

Y'all were going to be stuck here a minute, so even if he started off on very much the wrong foot (or fist) at least he's quickly making amends.

Double Legacy Sally Jackson Au

Okay. This has been my head Canon for like, years, imma try to explain the best I can.

So basically Sally is a 4th Generation legacy of the Norse God Loki (25%) and a 6th Generation Legacy of the Roman goddess Venus.

Making Percy not only 50% Greek sea demigod, but also:

20% Norse Trickster/lying/MISDIRECTION 5th gen

and 15% love/pretty as fuck Roman. 7th gen.

His Im/mortality blood split is more like 85/15.

Her parents (Percy's grandparents) died in that airplane crash when she was 5 because Sally's mom was a 3rd gen Loki and was unaware(cuz like apparently Norse demigods don't smell until AFTER they die) and Thor was all like, "heck no get the FUCK out of the sky" and Zappos hammered them to death.

(Percy has a Times 2 weakness to electric types. You think he's scared of ur lighting bolt? When he has to worry about a fucking lightning HAMMER? the answer is yes. To both. But like hammer>spear-bolt)

Sally found out about her heritage like maybe 2 months after her parents died(she inherited these cool norse pirate dagger/half-swords(I swear I can't remember what their called rn UGH), from HER great-grandparent. Percy's great-great grandparent ei: the Loki demigod. Loki gave them to her, and told her what's up.) and then she being the badass hardcore survivor she is, learned everything she ever could about Norse/roman(but also Greek) mythos by the time she's 12.

She meets Poseidon when she's 16.

Then Percy happens when she's 17 almost 18. And she learned from his father while she was carrying, that he would attract monsters.

Since she's related to Loki she has his whole "avoidance/dodge/misdirection can't be caught" thing. (As well as the shape shifting, but she can really only change her gender. But this is not relevant)

Sally, has been alone all her life, she is a SURVIVOR, so she buys an RV/tiny-home on wheels, and covers it absolutely completely buries it in a mix Norse and Egyptian magic-y misdirection runes to hide Percy's scent. She figures if she uses multiple mythos, it will be harder for Them to find her baby.

so there is no Gabe. Percy grows up even more of a mamas boy than canon.

She teaches Percy all about all the mythos, but like she does it in a very avoidance way that he knows NONE of their names like "the Greek sun god did this" or "the Roman sun god did that" and teaches him never to think their names "so they can't here you"

The changes in Percy's powers:

1: Since he's still Poseidon's kid but also now son of a legacy of the SHAPESHIFTER he can shapeshift, but only into a merperson, and only when he's wet. (Also he's genderfluid)

Sally teaches him to keep himself dry, he HATES it but understands that he needs to be sneaky, this first happens when he's like 7. And it doesn't happen during the full moon cuz like "the moon controls the tides" and what not. Yes, he is bioluminescent. Blueish/green aquamarine glowy mermaid fins!! His scales are either black or so dark indigo that they Look black.

2: Since he's a legacy of Venus, 7th gen notwithstanding cuz he has the 50% from the sea to make him stronger, he can do the charmspeaking, well... CharmSinging like a siren. When he was like 5 there was this really close call cuz when he sings one of two things happen. Either A: the default of "everyone in hearing range that isn't related to aphro/Venus is suddenly attracted to him, or b: people fall asleep. option a is the one that happened, he has to focus to get people to sleep. Sally is a smart cookie, she realized what was happening and decked the guy in the face before he could do anything to the baby 5 year old Percy. Sally then bans Percy from singing (at least around other ppl)

He HATES it. He loves to sing! but he understands enough to understand that sing around ppl is dangeours. This also happened when he was seven, but before the tail thing.

Sally, trying to hide Percy's heritage, and getting inspired from the Avatar the last airbender cartoon, trys to teach percy to only attack with "ice-bending" as to misdirect suspicions.

She tells him to "try and make the water stiff and cold"

He hates it. And how it feels "The sea doesn't like to be restricted" and what not, but like he trusts his mom, she's super cool and smart so he goes along with it, and OMG he gets cool water powers??? Like Katara?! From his favorite cartoon??? Best 10th birthday ever!

Ugh I can't remember if I'm forgetting anything, oh wait right. He can sense when people are trying to trick him. It's like a little itch I the back of his head. His mom can too, so they end up having these conversations where neither one is TECHNICALLY Lying, but like not telling the whole truth and shenanigans. Ei: "your father is lost at sea" does not ping his built in lie detector. So he's really REALLY Good at lying without lying. (Like what fae so in fairytales)

Because of this Percy thinks his dad is a mermaid. Percy is unaware that he is a demigod, he ony thinks his mom is a history-mythos nut. And that his mom is hiding him due to the myth of "if u cut out a mermaids eye and eat it you become immortal"

ugh thats all I can remember rn I'll edit it later.

Oh wait I just remembered since Percy's blood split is 85/15 he kinda can't really be referred to as a Half-blood. That is waaay more than half. Since like Frank blood split is 49/51 he can still be described as half. In other words,

IN THIS AU NICO IS ONE OF THE SEVEN.

and I also ship percico.

All of this is to say it leads to a dramatic scene outside of the doors of death where nico is like nico: "you have to go your one of the seven!"

And Percy is like

Percy: "nope I'm not 50/50 I'm 85/15 that's waaay more than half.....blood"

Nico: "but I can't leave u here"

it's more dramatic in my head and they are not dating by this point, But it's like mutual pining. Percy then kisses him and then pushes him into the elevator in his shock. Tells him to use his wish when he saves the world to use Persephone keyblade to get him and Bob out of Tartarus.

Then since this Percy is op and has seen alta, he blood bends all the rivers in the ground into spikey ice shards cutting the actual Tartarus(not his mortal plain body that Bob and friendly giant guy is fighting while Percy holds the button, but like the actual ground.) into 1000 pieces. And kills him. Like the sky primordial. He also killed poison lady. Btw. I'm so tired ugh what else. They are now stuck in Hell: frozen over.

Percy's logic for cutting up Tartarus with his own insides was as follows:

70% of the mortal human Body is made of Water.

70% of the earth is covered in a Body of Water.

The earth is Gaea, a primordial.

Mortal humans were based on gods.

And gods are descendants of primordials.

It takes a mortal and a god to kill a giant.

it took multiple titans (and a primordial to trick) to kill the sky primordial. His body was cut into 1000 pieces.

Ei: saltwater is Gaea's blood. And so are the rivers. I mean their called Bloodstreams for a reason.

A mortal a titan and a giant kill Tartarus.

Gaea was right about one thing Percy will admit.

If u want to to rid your garden of weeds, you have to rip out the roots.

BARNEY: “Secondly, I just realized it’s 3:45 in the afternoon. If you’re a vampire, why aren’t you in your coffin?” (Angel takes a deep breath) ANGEL: “Coffin. I hate that stereotype. You’re a demon and you don’t know anything about vampires?” BARNEY: “Only what I’ve learned from TV.” ANGEL: “Vampires don’t sleep in coffins. It’s a misconception made popular by hack writers and ignorant media. (he gets up) In fact you know, we can and do move around during the day, as long as we avoid direct sunlight. Got it?” BARNEY: “Got it. Sorry. I didn’t want to push any sore spots.”

Seven Several Sentences Sunday

Fanonwriter2023 on AO3

Where CANON and FANON collide!

Season 7 FANON Speculation: Buddie Multi-Chapter Fanfic - Hiatus Reading: “I’m still in love with you but... I needed to learn how to love myself too!”

In Chapter 12, "Petty Eddie" & "Jealous Buck" make their comebacks.

I’m working on Chapter 12 again and my goal is to post it within the next few days. But now that Buck and Eddie are in a romantic relationship, things get even more interesting as Jealous Buck and Petty Eddie return.

Chapter 12 - Will be posted soon.

“I’m still in love with you but... I needed to learn how to love myself too!”

Currently 11 chapters completed: 296.3K Words Rated: Mature

One chapter will be posted at a time.

___________

Here are two snippets from Chapter 12: one for Jealous Buck and one for Petty Eddie.

___________

Jealous Buck

In a voice filled with venom, he responds, “Rosen?”

Eddie raises his eyebrows. “Yeah, you know Julie because she’s worked with A-shift before.”

“Well…” He trails off because he’s trying not to get jealous but he knows he passed the jealousy stage a few minutes ago and now the green-eyed monster is whispering in his ear saying, "She’ll probably try to hit on Eddie" and he thinks fuck that because he waited six damn years to be with him and no one is going to come between them especially not Julie Rosen.

He figures he’s been quiet for too long when he hears Eddie calling his name.

“Buck? Buck?”

“Uh… yeah, sorry… I’m still listening.”

“Ok. I asked you to tell me what you were going to say.”

“Nothing!”

“Buck… just say it.”

“Never mind.”

“Julie is a good paramedic and she’s played poker with me, Captain Mehta and Chief Williams several times. We’re friends.”

The more Eddie talks, the more the green-eyed monster whispers to him that he’s going to lose Eddie to someone else. Logically he knows that’s not going to happen but like Elvis Presley, logical Buck has left the building and he’s being replaced by jealous Buck. He already didn’t like the fact that Eddie was hanging out with her and he didn’t know about it and now Eddie was trapped in an ambulance with her during his shift.

“She is but just don’t…”

“Don’t what?”

“Never mind, it’s nothing.”

Is Buck going to tell Eddie why he doesn’t want him working with Julie? 👀

_________

Petty Eddie

When Connor looks up, he sees Eddie and he��s startled because he assumed Buck would be here alone.

“Uh… hi.” Connor reluctantly greets.

If Eddie felt like smiling, he would but he doesn’t since he knows a snake when he sees one and the pettiness he hasn’t displayed in months makes a dramatic appearance because he can tell just by looking at Connor that he’s up to no good.

He stands up, walks over to face him then says, “We haven’t formally met but I’m Eddie Diaz, Buck’s boyfriend.”

“Uh… no we haven’t. I’m Connor… me and Buck were roommates…”

Eddie interrupts him because he has lots of pettiness for Connor’s trifling ass. “That’s right, you haven’t been roommates with Buck in more than six years and yet… that still didn’t stop you from asking him for his bodily fluids.”

“Well…” Connor replies.

Since he looks sheepish and like he wants to run in the other direction, Eddie’s initial impression of him is confirmed. He knew when Connor showed up at the firehouse unannounced to pressure Buck that he was nothing but a user and a person who wants to take advantage of people. But he won’t have the chance to do that to Buck anymore since they're in a relationship.

There’s an awkward and loud silence that fills the room until Connor looks at Buck then asks, “Can we talk in private?”

“No, whatever you have to say to me… you can say it in front of Eddie. We don’t have any secrets and he already knows about the sperm donation, the lawsuit and everything else.” He motions to one of the bar stools then says, “If you’d like to have a seat… you can tell both of us why you called me even after my lawyer told your lawyer to cease all contact.”

Connor sits at the end of the counter while Eddie and Buck sit at the other end.

After a few seconds, Connor looks around and Buck supposes he notices how barren the loft is. “Are you moving?”

“That’s none of your concern.” Eddie replies.

Will Connor tell Buck why he asked to see him or will he chicken out since Eddie’s there too? 👀

___________

This is an EPIC LOVE STORY!

Fic Summary: Months after Buck and Eddie were hit by the same lightning strike; they’re still struggling with the aftermath of it. But before they make their love confessions, they’ll spend time getting to know themselves as individuals first. Eddie learns to enjoy the simple things in life as he participates in activities on his own and with new friends while Buck learns the rest of the 31-year-old deep dark family secret about his conception and birth. Their journey to forever is still a work in progress but once they finally admit they’re in love with each other, everything that follows their love confessions will be cataclysmic.

__________

Chapter Summaries

Chapter 1 - Eddie makes a new friend while Buck receives devastating news regarding the sperm donation he made for Connor and Kameron.

Chapter 2 - Buck does a lot of research to learn more about the abnormalities found in his red blood cells and Eddie starts a new therapy journey that’s all about him and not the traumas he’s experienced.

Chapter 3 - After more than a month, Buck and Eddie finally spend time together outside of work but it doesn’t end well and they part with a lot of uncertainty regarding their places in each other’s lives.

Chapter 4 - Eddie has a few realizations about his life which causes him to consider moving back to El Paso, TX while Buck continues to be reminded of his past which causes him to take an impromptu road trip across America.

Chapter 5 - Both Buck and Eddie have difficult conversations with their parents and Buck finally learns the truth behind the reason why his mother despised him while Eddie finally tells his mother about the way she tries to control him.

Chapter 6 - More than two weeks after Buck pushed Eddie away after suggesting they needed a break; Eddie decides to try again. Eddie’s there for Buck when he’s at his worst just like Buck was there for him when he was at his worst and he won’t let Buck give up.

Chapter 7 - After Buck’s mental breakdown, Eddie has his back the same way Buck had his when he had his own breakdown more than a year ago. They share several vulnerable and emotionally intimate moments with one another and they begin to realize their small, sweet and caring gestures matter just as much if not more than any grand gesture ever could because these are the foundations of a long-lasting love relationship.

Chapter 8 - Buck, Eddie and Chris all have their own therapists and during their sessions, they reflect on their pasts while they’re in the present so they can prepare for their future together as a family.

Chapter 9 - Buck and Eddie are there for each other when Buck has to testify as a witness during the trial. But by the end of it, they’ll both realize their individual and shared traumas are going to keep resurfacing until they talk about them, deal with the fact that they’re in love with one another and face the fact that they can’t live without each other.

Chapter 10 - As Buck and Eddie finally begin to confront their past traumas, they realize how much they need each other to fill in the gaps of their memories. Additionally, the universe screams at them for what appears to be the one hundredth time so Buck can realize he doesn’t have to ‘find it’ because he already ‘made it’ and Eddie’s reminded tomorrow isn’t promised and he doesn’t have to die alone if he doesn’t want to.

Chapter 11 - A “virga” or dry thunderstorm is in the forecast but once the rain starts, the thunderstorm happening outside won’t be able to match the storm brewing inside between Buck and Eddie. It’s the universe’s final scream and when the tumultuous winds begin to blow, they’ll have one last chance to hold onto everything they’ve built over the last six years or they’ll lose it all forever.

Chapter 12 - Will be posted soon.

Anything but Silent: Lobby Card for Swing

Last year, Special Collections and Archives at the University of Iowa Libraries acquired items to form a new collection: the Black Film and Television Collection. In honor of Black History Month, we’re shining a spotlight on a different item from this collection.

In last week’s installment, we took a closer look at the poster for 1919’s The Green-Eyed Monster. Now we’re picking up 20 years later, with the spotlight on a lobby card from Oscar Micheaux’s 1938 film Swing, part of the Black Film and Television Collection. Starring Cora Green, Swing is notable as an example of two overlapping genres: race film and musical film.

Like many of Micheaux’s films, Swing it is also a tale centered around Black characters with grand aspirations. And like Micheaux himself, these women are pioneers, willing to make a path through the unknown.

Swing is a story born of the Harlem Renaissance, which by 1938 was declining in the wake of the Great Depression. The movie follows Eloise Jackson (Hazel Diaz) and Mandy Jenkins (Cora Green), two young women from Birmingham, Alabama. Mandy catches her husband (Larry Seymour) having an affair with Eloise, and Eloise flees to start over as a singer in Harlem. Her past catches up with her, however, and through a series of mishaps, it ends up being Mandy who succeeds as a performer on Broadway.

Who was Oscar Micheaux?

Last week’s blog touched on the work of Micheaux, but it’s worth digging deeper into the life of this singular talent.

Micheaux was born in 1884 and grew up with his 12 siblings on a farm in a small town in Illinois. His parents had been born into slavery in Kentucky, but neither emancipation nor a move north could create distance from the realities of structural racism.

The debts Micheaux’s parents had undertaken to keep the farm afloat became more burdensome over time and had educational repercussions for their fifth-eldest child. For a while, they were able to send Oscar to a school in a neighboring town, but financial difficulties eventually forced them to bring him back to work on the farm. This adjustment was difficult for an intelligent, ambitious teen to process, and Micheaux rebelled. Frustrated, Oscar’s father sent him to his older brother in Chicago, where he took work as a porter.

During this stint in the city, Micheaux set his hopes on homesteading to the west. He saved the earnings from his job until he could buy farmland in South Dakota and worked this land for years, a Black man surrounded by a community of white homesteaders. His experience in South Dakota came to an end when a drought withered his crops and his first marriage began to deteriorate. Micheaux committed these experiences to the page, emerging in 1913 with an anonymous, self-published book titled The Conquest, and a new ambition: to make his living as a storyteller.

In 1918, Micheaux would turn much of the material from The Conquest into a new, more fictionalized project, a novel he would call The Homesteader (both books can be found in the UI Libraries Special Collections & Archives). It was this work that caught the eye of the Lincoln Film Company’s George Johnson, who contacted Micheaux and offered to adapt the novel. However, the two couldn’t agree on a direction for the project, and the deal was scrapped. It became clear to Micheaux that if he wanted narrative control over a film based on his story, he’d have to make it himself. And in 1919, the new, Sioux City-based Micheaux Book & Film Company released the silent film The Homesteader.

Swing came almost 20 years after The Homesteader. By the time it was released, Micheaux had made nearly forty movies, both silent films and “talkies.” His contributions had defined the art of the race film and brought the experiences of Black Americans to the screen. As one might expect given the climate of his day, Micheaux was no stranger to controversy and censorship; his stories confronted racism directly, in ways the white establishment found “political” and therefore threatening. As an independent filmmaker in a burgeoning studio system, Micheaux’s budget was often tightly constrained. In 1928, he had to declare bankruptcy, but he continued filmmaking afterward with the same tenacity that had led him to that parcel of land in South Dakota.

Micheaux only made four more films after this one, and by his death in 1951 he had declared bankruptcy again. But in recent years, his contributions to film history have received more attention. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures features an exhibit on Micheaux’s work, and in 2010 the U.S. Postal Service released a stamp in his honor.

Swing and Cora Green

Since Swing was a musical film, it also gave Cora Green a new opportunity to showcase the singing voice that had already made her a star. Green performs two of Swing’s four musical numbers, “Bei Mir Bist di Schön” and “Heaven Help This Heart of Mine.”

Though she was only in two feature films (Swing in 1938 and Moon Over Harlem in 1939), her decades as a vaudeville performer had earned her the distinction of “the highest-paid colored woman in vaudeville,” according to one contemporary newspaper. She was popular enough that during World War II, she toured with the United Service Organizations (USO) to the Persian Gulf, performing for Black troops. Unfortunately, we don’t know what direction Green’s life took after the war, since she vanishes from the record in 1949.

What Green left behind was a limited but unique body of work, and this lobby card is a small piece of her story. In Swing, her voice carries to us through the years, the sound of a new art form just hitting its stride.

Next week, we’ll explore another distinct genre of Black filmmaking: the Blaxploitation film
