Finding my words again. They were a dozen years away.

I used to write fic on ff.net but stopped writing entirely when life and graduate school and mental/health stole my joy from me. A refugee of the academy. Woman in tech (i.e. WFH hermit). Long-time longfic abandoner (AMA).

(It takes so, so long to heal.)

A few years ago, BG3 and Astarion got me reading fanfic again (luv u pookie; and Gale; and Rolan 😘).

A few months ago, Lucanis Dellamorte got me writing again because I had a silly little idea that my now-awake brain couldn’t let go of.

And honestly? It’s kind of nice to be living again.

Purple Haze

A Rookanis series. Slow Burn. Friends to Lovers.

Part I -

Back when you were mine, I was too young to know (WIP; 14k)

Not canon compliant. A re-imagined history for Rook and Lucanis, in which Rook is a half-sibling of Viago and our MCs meet in Treviso as young children.

Hijinks and sweetness. Antivan Crow headcanons for days…

Part II -

You tell yourself it’s raining (the clouds are in your head) (Completed, and yet…; 3k)

Lucanis and Rook are together again in the Lighthouse after a 15-year estrangement. Set immediately after recruiting Lucanis. Lucanis and Spite reflect on the memories they had relied on to survive in the Ossuary. (Shit, literally writing this synopsis gave me an idea for a new deliciously-angsty chapter… BRB.)

Awkward tension. Mutual Pining.

Part III -

The darkest nights always make the stars so bright (Complete! 11k)

What if Rook could convince Spite to let Lucanis get a good night’s sleep? The snuggle smut our man deserves. (So. Much. Pining.)

Idiots in Love (it’s requited, but they don’t know it).

Part IV -

We live by chance among the lightning strikes (WIP; 4k)

The Veilguard team learns more about the history between their two Crows and Lucanis learns things he didn’t know before.

Secrets and Reveals. Trials. Dark Antivan Crows. (And yeah listen: there’s always gonna be pining.)

i love adventure time slang bc theyre all like

" you donked up my zagglewags you all out flim flamming jerkwag !!! "

like yea !!!!!! what she said !!!!!! speak ur truth !!!!!

[starry-bi-sky]

Do you think anyone ever tells fem!Danny that she looks like Talia?

Yes! Anyone who knew Talia would probably point out that she resembles her mother. Danny's got her old man's blue eyes and black hair and eyebrows, but predominantly her mother's features. Danny's a momma's girl even with the difficulties of leaving the League, so she would take that with pride honestly. Her mother is the most beautiful woman in the world in her eyes.

I'm thinking about when Damian and Danyal reunite and they're trying to reconcile/reconnect, I'm imagining that Damian just staring at his sister one day. When Danny calls him out on it, he eventually admits that she looks like mother. Danyal stops what she's doing for a moment, and then quietly preens because it's what thing to hear it from other people, its another to hear it from her brother.

[dags-over-caravans]

Thank you to @chaosherald and @genjyoandgojyoandhakkai for the tags! And @hedwigoprah because this was the shit I was struggling against when seeing their honesty with their own doubts helped me push through.

Technically not Wednesday and technically no longer a WIP… (posted yesterday in the latest chapter of my back-when-they-were-young fic.) But when it’s honey & lavender cream… IYKWIM. (Heavy sigh), I just wanna bathe in this scene a little longer. (Please do not punish me for breaking literally the only two rules of this game lol)

Soft tagging @gatesofminrathous @beetlethebug if you want in, I’d love to see what you’re working on!

(~450 words).

WIP whenever idk 🤷‍♀️

For his thirteenth birthday, Rook surprises him twice.

Doña Lora had made him something special: a cake of honey and lavender cream so delicate upon its cake stand that he is afraid to breathe too near it. He’s prepared to share it with Rook with plates and fine silver and lovely little crystal flutes to drink from.

But devious Rook has a better idea, as she so often does, and soon they are absconding into the garden, in spite of the pouring rain — Lucanis with the cake and Rook armed with forks, toting a bottle of sparkling limonata to share.

As they huddle beneath the shelter of an angelic statue’s outspread wing, they take forkfuls directly from the cake plate. The sparkling lemonade passes between them (Lucanis blushes when he drinks from it, thinking about how her lips were just right there).

Her first surprise is a gift: from one of her many pouches, she presents him with an ornate, gilded triptych with wyverns in each of its panes.

“This looks expensive,” he complains, but he is breathless with wonder as he looks at it. Each pane is about the size of his palm and each features wyverns: cartwheeling through the fluffy white clouds of spring, sunbathing on a cliff-edge in slant of buttery summer’s light, winging above the forest foliage of the fall.

“It wasn’t.”

“It wasn’t?”

“Well, no,” she shrugs. “It… wasn’t for sale.” Mierda, Rook. She stole it. “But I knew it was for you as soon as I saw it. It’s for your room. Something that you can have that’s just there to enjoy. Something for you.”

He asks, “How did you know about wyverns?”

She hesitates before she says, “I went back to the attic. I wanted my gift.” Her chin dips, her eyes look astray from him.

“You did?”

“Yes, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never mentioned wyverns, so I figured you were trying to give me something we could share — something that I like, a book, about something you like: wyverns.”

He likes it when she explains herself, when she lets him see how her cleverness works.

(Had he said that aloud? Because suddenly Rook is blushing.)

They are huddled close together, beneath this angel’s wing, a large cake tottering precariously between their two knees (pressed tightly together) — so she doesn’t have far to lean forward to deliver his second surprise: a kiss, chaste and sweet and fleeting, no more than a peck.

(But he can taste the hint of lavender that lingers on her mouth, honey-sweet, and the bright tingle of the limonata.)

“Tanti auguri, Lucanis,” she whispers.

Hey hey

Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your current gp. Your spin on the challenge is awesome. I’m glued to Layla’s narrative and journey.

Here is to our girl being a cougar and making better choices 🥂

Awww thank you 😭 That's so nice to hear. Have this future picture of Art which is totally buried in a post but I think belongs in the sim dictionary beside "dreamy". @simmerbeans delivered the good genes. Oh and since I know people like to use this lot as the afterlife I just want to assure you he is 100% alive

[sheepthingg]

look at my pictures

[outofcontextpoohbear]

[dagbert-endless]

with all due disrespect (which is all of it), I hate art I I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art I hate art!!!!! So here's my ocs but woe, picrews be upon ye

For context, the story is that these 5 were all at the same endowed school (St. Claire's) until one of them transferred to Bloor's in the 4th book.

In order from CotRK OC I made first to newest OC:

link to picrew

Starting with Tanya! Her endowment was to feel other people's emotions, which was toooootally not a ripoff of Gabe's lmfao. So I used the Springhole Superpower Generator and now her endowment is that she can detect when someone is (intentionally) lying. It's not the best power, but there's worse coming up so she's pretty mid as an ally.

Tanya is a basic bitch. She's a cheerful girl and incredibly fucking stupid, but also incredibly fucking optimistic.

At 12, Tanya's the youngest endowed at St. Claire's but average at Bloor's.

Tanya is one of two Good kids, so between this and her age she isn't close friends with any of the other ocs. She looks up to Annie, but Annie isn't interested in a twerp like her.

If Tanya moved to the King's city, it would be because her parents divorced and she followed her mom when she moved away. At Bloor's, she'd be in Drama but wouldn't be very good at it.

Tanya's impact on the canon story would be the most minimal. She'd get along well with the other Good kids, but lacks the power to change anything to come.

link to picrew

Second oc is Isadore. I made him when I was a kid and thought you could use moonlight to start fires the way you can with sunlight, so his endowment was manipulating moonlight and he used that to set stuff on fire. By 2020 I knew you could not actually do that. Instead, I opted to keep the endowment of "moonlight manipulation" but he starts fires the way any other person would, with matches.

Today, Isadore... isn't much different to his 2020 counterpart. The general idea behind his endowment is that it's actually pretty lame. He glows and at night he can move moonlight like it's something physical to wave around like a flashlight. His only use is saving the money on buying a real flashlight.

He is extremely nocturnal, and in the daytime he's always falling asleep somewhere. At St. Claire's, he is failing his classes and relies on his friends to keep him educated enough to not get held back (it is not working). At night, he stops feeling so drowsy and can actually Do Things. Unfortunately, most of the other kids are sleeping. One stays up late and one wakes up early to hang out with him, otherwise he misses out on most of what goes on between the endowed.

If Isadore transferred to Bloor's, it would be after he failed his entire grade and his parents decide to throw him in a different school as a weak attempt to fix it. At Bloor's, he'd be in Art. He'd be a decent artist, but only when he can do the project at night and turn it in the next morning. Otherwise, his paintings are all aimless squiggles where he passed out and let the paintbrush roll away.

Isadore's impact on the canon story would also be pretty minimal. He'd sit with the Evil endowed but not get to hang out with any of them very often.

no picrew link because I forced myself to draw this and I'm not wasting all the time I spent to not post it

This is Garnet. He's an oc that I revamped in 2020 to be a CotRK oc, but he wasn't originally a CotRK oc. So he was fandomless -> CotRK -> fandomless -> CotRK.

Garnet's the ""leader"" of the evil endowed at St. Claire's, in that he's one starting most of the beef and telling the other four what to do. His beef with the good kids is part them foiling his plots and part personal beef with one of the good kids not in this post.

Garnet's a shapeshifter. Because he needs to eat more to have the energy to shift (idea "stolen" from B lmao) + he stays up late, he doesn't often do much actual shifting. He can, but it's taxing the more he does it.

Garnet's family has an interest in "collecting" magical objects, and have been for many years. None of the kids are allowed to use any of them until they graduate school, so Garnet doesn't get access to them at any point.

A moderate amount of conflict, at either school, comes from Garnet deciding to steal from other people and the good side putting a stop to it.

If Garnet transferred to Bloor's, it'd be because his parents dragged him to the city while hunting for something mystical and probably not real. His parents only send him to Bloor's because of their Drama department; Garnet's siblings all go to normal school.

Of all my ocs, Garnet would have the biggest impact on the story. He'd be an antagonistic klepto whose shifting powers aid the Bloors well. Despite it, evil would still lose and his family would leave after the final battle.

Moving on to OCs I created just this year in a previous failed attempt to make CotRK ocs from scratch, it's Aneira (Ann/Annie for short).

Her endowment is control over ice, snow, and cold.

Annie and Azalea used to be girlfriends, and I'll elaborate on that later, but Annie is still bitter about the breakup and often targets both Aza and anyone Aza dates.

Unlike Garnet and Finley, Annie doesn't care about Isadore enough to stay awake to talk to him. She's a snob about endowments, if you don't have a powerful one she isn't interested in you at all. As a result, whichever side has the greatest amount of "impressive" endowments is the one she sides with. At both schools, it's the evil side.

If Annie moved to the City, it'd be because her parents found a nicer home their current one (probably in the Heights) and they moved. She would be in Music and be decent at it.

Her impact on the story would be minimal, though it's likely she'd delay things with a heavy blizzard or two if she got pissed enough.

by this point I'm sick of picrew so here's a quick shitty doodle from like May

Last but not least, Azalea.

This roll gave Aza her powers, but tbh talking about her with B is how she got fleshed out.

Azalea is a good kid. She's never killed anyone and doesn't wish to. If need be, she'll drain energy until someone passes out, but she won't hurt them.

Her endowment works by touch, and as a result she covers most of her body in clothing. Annie's the kind of girlfriend that clings like your tongue to ice, so it infuriated her that she couldn't kiss Aza for very long before getting drowsy, that she couldn't hold Aza's hand without someone wearing gloves, etc and she initiated the breakup.

Aza dresses like an edgelord, but she's really just a poser. She's quite nice and kindhearted and firmly on the good side.

If Aza moved to the City, it'd be because one of her parents had to relocate for their job. At Bloor's, she'd be in Music but only kinda meh at it.

She'd help the good side as much as she could, but ultimately nothing changes too drastically.
