↳ WIP (RE)INTRO // A FLAME IN THE STARS

ft. a banner based on the minimalist cover i made [ which in turn was inspired by @anomaly00​ and @vespatrix​ <3 ]

↫↬

only by uncovering the past can you discover the future;

One unlikely group of friends. One sorceress hell-bent on revenge. One chance to save the world - or doom it to destruction.

Fate has tied six friends together. Now, they have to chase Annelyrin, famed sorceress, across the dimensions, in the hope that they will be in time to stop her from carrying out her greatest plan of all — destroying the world they all love so dearly. All while navigating their feelings for each other and understanding that some things aren’t meant to be known.

and only by discovering the future can you save the world.

ELEVYNNE TRUE ; Guardian ; done with your nonsense ; i will love you until the last star winks out, and even after that, i will still love you.

CHARISS QUIRE ; Scholar ; young talent ; we lose and we love and you know what? i think i enjoy that bit that makes even me human.

AURE DECKER ; artist/shopkeeper ; quietly observant ; how i wish i knew what love looked like so i could paint it [ ... ] love is everything i’ve painted.

AISLIN GIVEROW ; poisoner ; motherly ; love is everything beautiful and everything painful, all at once.

CARHYS BLACKWAVE-ALTHERA ; spy ; constantly moody ; stop telling me that you love me when you don’t.

IANE KESLER ; Chairperson ; too charming ; love? my friend, i will not find love, not when there are so many others forcing theirs on me.

ID under cut !

FIRST HEADER ; a dark blue background with a sun-like icon on either side, enlarged so only part of it is visible. on the left, tilted vertically and layered on a constellation, is the tagline “only by uncovering the past can you discover the future”. on the right, a similar setup with a different constellation and the name “asena f.” right in the middle is the title “a flame in the stars”.

SECOND HEADER ; various photographs, all with darker tones. in the middle is an icon resembling an oval-shaped grey firework, and on top of that in cursive is the title “A Flame In The Stars”.

There are four pictures, all with muted and blurred backgrounds of various photographs of cities.

The first one has a dark blue-white palette, with overlapping sets of double lines. The quotes are: “oh, do shut up” — “and what if I didn’t?” and “I never thought I’d love someone else as much as my family” — “but I’m glad I proved myself wrong, just this once”. The characters involved are Elevynne True and Carhys Blackwave-Althera.

The second one has a light green-white-black palette, with overlapping sets of a simple decorative icon. The quotes are: “love is more than us” — “that’s what makes it so beautiful” and “I once lived my life thinking that I wouldn’t be accepted for who I am” — “but she came along and brought with her a whole new world of hope”. The characters involved are Chariss Quire and Aure Decker.

The third one has a yellow-black-white palette, with a design of lines with a half-starburst in the middle. The quotes are: “guilt only wins because you let it” — “and I’m here to make sure you don’t” and “I didn’t let myself love after I lost it all because it felt wrong” — “but he taught me that loving again shows I’ve forgiven myself”. The characters involved are Aislin Giverow and Iane Kesler.

The fourth one has a red-white palette, with sets of double lines arranged in a zigzag pattern. The quotes are: “please don’t subject me to this torture” — “but what if I did, would you hate me?” and “and to think one, I was sitting alone in the corner watching everyone have fun” — “now I’m in the thick of it with the one person I wouldn’t trade for anything”. The characters involved are Aerin Boudaire and Drae McLaren.

↳AFITS EPISODE ONE, A VAGUEPOST ft. six idiots

[ inspired by @atelierwriting, @sourrcandy and @sufjanisms ]

bonus points if you can guess who’s saying what in my dms; i might even present you a page from one chapter of your choice~

transcript + gen taglist under the cut.

1. It’s the days where I have shifts with Guardian Lorra that I dread, even more than the days where I’m assigned to Iane Kesler, disaster magnet.

2. “But I’m sure she’s more disappointed than grateful,” I point out. “She could have collided with the most handsome man on the Dome.

3. I stare at the pile of research papers I still have to grade, and turn around

4. Then again, I don’t know why she wants the tapestry at all. By the stars.

5. Well, shit.

6. There are no gods in this devastated world, only the will to survive.

in this house tonight, and on all nights we are soft(tm) thinking about the platonic relationship between chariss and elevynne ;-;

[starsfallings-archived]

Y’all!! We hit 46 followers!! As such, a little special:

Fight, Elevynne. Fight for what you believe in, fight for what you think is right, but don’t let it come at the cost of your friends. Don’t let it come at the cost of us. I am here to help you fight, and if it means I have to die, I will do so gladly, knowing that you will save this world.

- Chariss Quire

A lovely quote from the Scholar! Thank you for your support!!

*and in case you don’t get it, 46 is the main ship in Divergent and my chosen lucky number

CH^2 .2

Yay, another CH^2!! I’m excited to introduce you to...

About

- Chariss Quire [sha-rees? che-rees? you decide]

- 20

- Scholar of the Arts

- pretty good with a gun

- ravenclaw/hufflepuff

- Elevynne’s bestie

A Quick Introduction

Chariss is what the fandoms will term 'looks like a cinnamon roll, will kill you’. She prefers to be quiet, and instead analyses people before approaching. She owns a gun, gifted by Elevynne, and is very proud of it. She does not know who her biological parents are; she was raised first in an orphanage, then a foster home. She’s very clever and loyal - she’d follow Elevynne to the ends of the world if need be. Strangers would describe her as such: sweet and kind. Friends would describe her as such: cheerful and bright.

Snippet [draft.2]

Wandering the streets, I find myself outside Aure’s shop. I can see her making her way around the space, viciously attacking the floor with a broom. Small dust clouds rise wherever it meets the floor. Hesitating for just a fraction of a second, I push the door open and go in. Aure pauses and looks up wildly, before relaxing visibly and waving at me cheerfully.

Secret

She’s terrified of any and all animals bigger than her.

We’re extremely grateful for your support and interest in our world, our journey, and most importantly, ourselves. Of course, we wouldn’t be here without several people, so here they are:

CH^2 .10

Hmm a day late oops

About

- Drae McLaren

- General of the Guardians

- 33/1,089

- supports everyone equally

- likes to prank Iane

A Quick Introduction

Drae may come across as someone not to be messed with, but spend a little more time around him and you’ll realise: he knows almost every single Guardian’s name, and he’s actually a really fun guy to be around. Of course, being the General, he can be scary when needed, but mostly he’s just that really cool big guy next door. Strangers would describe him as such: intimidating, coldly polite. Friends would describe him as such: loud, cheerful.

Snippet ( wow look for once there’s legit writing... draft two )

I chuckle to myself as the door swings shut behind me. Iane Kesler is going to get me back, but it will be worth it. The look of betrayal on his face as I sold him out to the crowd was priceless. I hurry along the wall until I reach another door and pull it open, revealing Elevynne True, Chariss Quire, and Magnus Aerin Boudaire sitting in various chairs in a large study.

Secret

Mayhaps he has a Thing for that Royal Tailor.
