This is such a tragedy. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has lost its future commander in a Spitfire crash.
As a reenacter and historian, I have had special interest in the Lancaster bomber and the Spitfire, I've seen these wonderful planes in action. They and their pilots are a special rare breed. You have to be a talented pilot to be part of the BBMF in the first instance, so he best of the best to be their Commander. This is a tragedy, and my thoughts and love are with Squadron Leader Mark Long's family.

im totally normal (lie) so heres a list of gunblaze au's just for fun
skinline au's
• ruined/runeterra
the one that started it all. based primarily after the global harrowing in which both sarah fortune and shyvana were under viego's influence. with demacia and bilgewater both reeling in the wake of the ruination, jarvan temporarily sends shyvana to bilgewater for her own protection as demacia rebuilds, because captain fortune is the only one willing to take in the dragon who turned her flame on her countrymen
(because sarah, too, understood what it was like to be controlled by the mists)
eventual throuple verse with katarina.
TAH HAS A FIC. BTW. IF U CARE.
• lunar beast miss fortune/hexplorer shyvana
i like to think that hexplorers are able to travel to different universes in the search of treasure (especially since multiple universes are hinted in several hexplorer splash arts), so this one is hexshyv dropping by during a lunar parade and sarah knows a cute "i just recently discovered im queer" gal when she sees one. sarah winds up accompanying shyv on her travels, maybe they also get married. for insurance purposes of course.
to cope with shyv usually bearing Too Much human in her designs and never enough of her draconic heritage i usually headcanon her with additional reptile-aligned aspects, so i think of hexshyv as akin to geckos regarding her skin texture and stuff
occasionally throuple verse with project kat
also related: lbmf/hexshyv/battle bunny miss fortune
shenanigan purposes. sarah flirts with herself in LoR if a copy of herself is played to the opponent's board so like. of course she would hit up alternate versions of herself. bbmf Also thinks hexshyv is very cute
• star guardian miss fortune/dark star shyvana
ripped away from her team during a battle into a black hole, sarah eventually comes to in a dead space with a massive star devouring dragon
• porcelain miss fortune/immortal journey shyvana
still cooking but thinking thoughts
• gun goddess miss fortune/super galaxy shyvana
whats a dragon with a dragon mech to do when one of the most dangerous bounty hunters of the universe decides you've caught her interest
"why does the dragon have a mech" do you know how big space is. do u expect her to fly through that on her own. the mech is just super convenient
• broken covenant miss fortune/arclight shyvana
still cooking, frankly trying to force myself to like broken covenant djkhsghjs
misc au's
• coven miss fortune/old god shyvana
indulgent bc these skins dont exist and i frankly dont trust riot to do old god shyv and Not just make her a conventionally attractive woman with minimal draconic aspects as per usual. shyv is a dormant god resurrected by sarah
• musicverse
modernverse with sarah as a singer thats sponsored by evelynn kda. throuple verse with kat
shyv and kat are roommates who encounter sarah as an up and coming singer at a club and have a. messy. relationship with her that she struggles to repair later
• egirl
modernverse. sarahs a streamer lmfao. shyv likes to play just dance :) throuple verse with kat.
could also be same verse as activate/captivate/annihilate but thats up to tah, idc either way
• siren
sarah being a siren very heavily based off the ones in the witcher but without the monster form bc i think conventionally attractive woman using her looks to lure in prey but her true form being monstrous is kinda boring and maybe sarah should just be fangy and dangerous while Also being pretty yknow. shyv is still a fire drake and happens to catch sarah by mistake while hunting the local waters, and well, sarahs not immune to flirting with fellow gal predators

Sorry for vanishing. For those in the UK you might have seen about the BBMF Spitfire crashing and the death of Squadron Leader Mark Long.
I know the team quite well, and it was a complete shock, so we're just taking the time to come to terms with everything.
Love you all.

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
At the top of my head? Hmmmm. OH MY GOD YES. THE FIC WHERE THIRTEEN IS WORKING NEAR A FLAMMABLE PART OF THE TARDIS CONSOLE AND SHE'S HALF-NAKED SDNJOKSDKSD
JDFINDFJD THIS MAKES ME CRACK UP EVERY TIME I REREAD
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
Awh. Damn it. [sighs] You... do good. You're doing your best.
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
I always listen to music regularly so yes also for writing. I can write in silence as well but I prefer music. If I'm focused on the music for the right vibe while writing, it depends and that'll depend on what loops.
I am however just listening to "Bugatti" by Harddope and "BBMF!" by $atori Zoom and Kaito Shoma at random. Yeah.
