[Stonefrey Moodboard]
Solutions : see below.
Tumblr media
As a private detective, you were hired for a "simple" missing person's case. 
You were supposed to investigate, find out and be done with it. 
All was fine until, on a sleepless and cliché full-moon night, you stumbled upon a creature you've never expected to find. A monster worth anyone's worst nightmare. A monster holding the key to unravel the case you're investigating.
Your life has taken an unexpected turn after this discovery, how will you manage to face the reality that the supernatural exist after that ? And what will you do when it's revealed that the case is more complex than what you first thought ?
Tumblr media Tumblr media

There are achievements.

To say Elias is a gruff person is to say the least. But you know he has some good will in him behind the non-bothered no nonsense act. He did act to save you, without asking anything in exchange. Though, if you would describe him, you would say he is more like a sulking teddy bear. Yeah, you should probably not say that to him. Elias is probably the only one you're quite certain— not certain, certain, but quite certain — is a human. You have your doubt for the rest of the team. 
"If you think a day can't go shittier than it already is, be my guest."
Appearance : Human, or you can say super-human. 1.97m/6'46. Deep blue sea/cobalt blue eyes. Long white wavy hair (past shoulders). Tanned and weathered  ivory skin. Athletic build with broad shoulders.  3 o clock shadows. 
Has a 4 years old daughter.
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media
How could you describe Anya ? Like the mist ? Always shrouded in mystery ? This is her. She is the incarnation of mystery.  She told you she was 31 years old, but you don't really believe the woman. You think she can bewitch the whole city with her smirk, if it's not already the case. But that smirk she puts on her face makes you not trust her that much. Unless it's a question of life and death. Then, probably, you'll consider her help.
"Why work hard when you can work smart ?"
Appearance : A witch, most assuredly. 1.63m/5'34. Hazel eyes. Sultry black hair,  mid-back length. Golden skin. Lithe built.  
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media
Miloslav [M] / Mishka [F] / Marcy [NB]
Sheppard seems to be directly in competition with Elias for the title of "Grumpy human of the year".  Though, where Elias appears mostly unbothered in and for all, Sheppard just seems really on edge about everything.  And tense. But you guess it's because of their taxing and demanding work. Or maybe they were just born edgy. It's almost as if their hackles were constantly raised.  But they can be sweet. Somehow.
"Some people are looking for the meaning of life. I'm just looking for what "vacation" means and where I can find it."
Appearance : Not human... 1.78m/5'83. Forest green eyes. Curly auburn hair, cut short. Pale skin with freckles. Athletic build. 
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media
Have you already seen in the eyes of someone some age old lost wisdom ? Flowing like crystal clear water from a time where you weren't even born. Something worth admiring. This is what you can see in their eyes.  Despite being a giant, they are a tranquil, very tranquil person. Now that you think about it, you've never seen them eat. Nor drink. This is suspicious. 
"If someone points you the moon, don't stare at the finger."
Appearance : Surely not human. 2.06m/6'76. Sky blue eyes. Long coiled hair, dyed sandy blond (braided with gold thread). Chocolate brown skin. Lithe build. Nose septum piercing. 
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media
Yu is, like, the opposite of Mbaya, whilst being almost similar. In front of you stand something from a past long gone. But, instead of tranquility, Yu is a bubbly person. Almost too bubbly.  And you're almost sure that they own at least half the club and bar of  Stonefrey. If not more. Something about the way they move, silently, and almost feline-like, makes you doubt they are human. 
"I'm not saying I don't care. I'm just saying that, if the whole city was about to burn down, I'll still take the time to appreciate my glass of whiskey."
Appearance : Definitely not human. 1.65m/5'61. Black eyes. Dark brown hair (Yi-seo: Shoulder length hair/Yunsu : Ivy league crew cut). Olive skin. Muscular build. 
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media
Well. If you could say a word about Owl, you would say that they are dramatic. And fanciful. And they have a flourish for snarking remarks, and seem to have an ego as big as their wardrobe probably is. But what you would say the most is that they are wearing their name well. Owl, for their knowledge. That you could use. If they were on your side, that is, and totally not a wild card. 
"Everyone is such a bore in this city. Well, so long as you owe me — I mean, pay me. And entertain me. Surely this can work, Love."
Appearance : You're not sure. 1.79m/5'9. Verdigris-colored eyes. Wavy platinium blond hair (F. : Chin-length plunging square cut/M. : Styled curtain hairstyle). Fair and flawless skin. 
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media
You have met a nightmarish creature, will probably meet vampire, and werewolves — oh, you've met a witch as well. So now, here they are, an elf. Yes, an Elf. Like in Lord of the Things. In the city. With sunglasses. And their impassible way. Iolrath, child of Rivaran and Iltheruyn, they told you, as they were looking around at "mortals and their ways". Nice.
"Why must I say something ? Isn't silence acceptable in a discussion ?"
Appearance : It's very obviously an elf. 1.82m/6'0. Violet eyes. Long silver hair (reach mid-tight ). Shimmery skin. Elvish build of fairness.  Obvious pointed ears. 
[Moodboard]
Tumblr media

@ckhalloween23
Here is my submission for the Week 2 prompt "Witches"--a preview from a new fic I'm working, Flower of Lemon and Feather of Shrike! I decided to do a deep dive into Yasmine's drastically OOC Season 4 behavior, and explore a scenario where its origin is...a bit more sinister than poor writing or repressed lesbianism aknskfnhdrf
This one isn't just for the YasMoon girlies, but in fact for all the girlies who thought Yasmine Nolastname was big boi screwed over in S4, and deserved better!!! Even the foulest of bitchy bullies don't deserve to be reduced to a trophy girlfriend and a prop for a male character's storyline, especially when said male character is a pretty garbage boyfriend when it comes right down to it </3 (More on that later!!!)
This one is also for the MoonPiper girlies, because god, were we fucked over too D: Also actually (mostly) canon compliant, except H*wkM**n never ever get back together and stay broken up forever and always amen peace and love on planet earth <3 <3 <3 <3
There's no world where I will acknowledge this stupid ship got undeadified like a horrendous, nonsensical, chemistry-devoid zombie when it had long since run its narrative course and played its role in both Eli and Moon's arcs can you tell awehakureyigsrf
This is Moon's POV and Yasmine and Moon-centric, but I left the shippier parts ambiguous since I wanted to make something that my non-shipper friends can enjoy too ^^; There are feelings on Moon's side but as far as I'm concerned that's basically canon lmao like did you SEE that girl in S4??? She was so thirsty for Blondie that I'm genuinely shocked the showrunners didn't tell Hannah Kepple to stop kanhdskufhd Definitely tried to leave Yasmine's feelings more up in the air, though! Interpret her however you like ^^
Fic preview under the cut! As always, moodboard pic credits available upon request!
***
The phone line cuts off, and Yasmine’s name disappears from the screen.
Moon curls into her pillow, erupting in ragged sobs. She can’t remember the last time she’s felt this helpless.
This entirely consumed by pure, raw emotion.
Her mind is a whirlpool, everything Yasmine spat at her twisting around and around and around. None of it seems real.
Because Moon can’t wrap around her head around meaning nothing to Yasmine. She can’t make sense of a world where she was only a pawn—someone for the repressed queen bee to “experiment” with. Someone to cater to Yasmine’s whims and fulfill her every desire and ask nothing in return.
Yasmine was everything to Moon. Moon was nothing to Yasmine. And how did that make any fucking sense?
Moon’s hands knot into the covers, a scream ripping from her throat. Somewhere amid the blinding torrent of heartbreak and rage, she finds herself tearing incense sticks from her drawers and lighting candles with shaking hands.
She always swore to herself she’d never touch the rear section of her spellbook, pages marked with a black tab. But if Yasmine can’t keep her promises, why should Moon?
Her chest burns as she recites the incantation.
“By flower of lemon and feather of shrike I bid you know what this pain is like”
*
“Maybe we could meet in the middle? Like a…sexual Venn diagram?”
Yasmine’s face twists in disgust. Moon only rolls her eyes.
She would tell Demetri to stop being a creep, but she knows he doesn’t mean it. Just playing the part he thinks he should after girls have started noticing him.
And Moon knows what it’s like to hide your authentic self to better fit a mold. She’s eternally thankful Piper taught her better.
“So what’s under the blanket?” she prompts.
As Demetri begins his demonstration, Yasmine’s expression shifts. “Not bad. My parents might not have to pay for an A this time.”
Moon can’t help feeling a bit surprised.
So Yasmine’s taking the “be a little nicer” advice to heart, at least. A hint of gratitude toward anyone is a first.
And then the soccer ball comes.
Her panic strips away her new cordiality. Moon knows exactly where her friend’s mind goes.
She’s about to be the “dumb blonde” again—the vapid, useless pretty girl who always has to bribe her way to a pass. And it makes her feel so disgustingly helpless.
“Do you have another one?” A last-ditch attempt to save her grade without her family’s intervention.
As she watches the altercation play out, Moon could slice the tension between Hawk and Demetri with a knife. She’s never quite fancied herself an empath, but there’s something hauntingly familiar about the way Demetri’s entire body is trembling.
She sees herself, hunched up and bawling her eyes out. She sees the overpowering grief that tore free a side Moon didn’t even know she had.
Thank the gods nothing came of that episode.
When Sam arrives, Moon gives her a pleading look. Off she goes to rescue their big-mouthed friend, prepared to cut into Hawk with all the steel Moon could never quite work up.
“Are we gonna fail?”
The whisper in Moon’s ear is so lost. So broken.
Yasmine’s always been a mess. Moon supposes she should be flattered she’s one of the only people who’s ever gotten to see it.
“No.” She sighs. “Demetri’s smart. He’ll figure something out.”
*
“You’ll never guess what I saw yesterday.”
Sam leans over at the start of history class, smirk dancing across her lips.
“What?”
“Yasmine and Demetri are a thing.”
Moon knits her brow, confused.
“What’re you talking about?”
Sam sniggers. “I turned a corner in the hall and saw them making out, clear as day.”
Despite her best efforts, she can’t hide her alarm.
“Oh my god. Does she know he’s…?”
Demetri’s passes at Yasmine weren’t exactly genuine. Moon always thought Yas would be more intuitive about that sort of thing, especially considering the way she talked about Demetri when he first started hanging out with them.
“He’s what?”
“Um…never mind.”
It wasn’t Moon’s place to divulge Demetri’s business, especially when he hadn’t even figured it out himself. Or…didn’t want to admit certain things to himself, at least.
“Yasmine was pissed when Miguel and I caught them,” Sam goes on. “It was so funny. She insisted she’d never go out with him, but…you know. Unless you slipped me some LSD at lunch and I’m hallucinating, I have my doubts.”
She laughs again, clearly tickled pink by the whole thing. Moon only frowns.
“I’m so confused. All she’s ever done is complain about him.”
Her friend shrugs. “Denial’s not just a river in Egypt, I guess.”
“No, like. She thinks basically every single one of his interests is annoying. And she told me once that listening to him talk is like when you hit your brakes too fast and your whole car screeches.”
“Well, you know Yas. She thinks she’ll combust if she says something nice about anyone.”
“Right, but…” Moon narrows her eyes. “She’s picky as hell when it comes to dating. I, um…I would know. And Demetri’s the furthest possible thing from her type.”
“Opposites attract?”
“Not like that. I saw him try to explain basic particle physics to her one time and she nearly went to sleep. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.”
“Maybe it’s just a physical thing. We both know how crazy hormones can be, right?”
Moon hopes for Yasmine’s sake that Sam is right. Otherwise…
Well, there’s probably no need to entertain that possibility.
*
“I love it when you talk nerdy.”
Moon’s so caught up in Yasmine’s sweeping, graceful movements that it takes a moment for the statement to sink in.
She always smiles when she watches her best friend. She can’t help it. Yasmine moves like a mountain waterfall—majestic and larger than life, all while flowing so seamlessly.
It isn’t until Yasmine lets Demetri pull her in, giggling like an elementary schooler, that Moon’s smile falls.
No, you don’t.
Because Moon knows Yasmine, and she knows she has a hatred for “nerd shit” that could rival Hawk at his worst.
She despises anything that makes her feel small. Unimportant. Insignificant.
Moon remembers the look on Yasmine’s face when Sam leaned away from their popular table, exchanging easy chemistry banter with Aisha. She remembers the dejected pout when lunchroom conversations turned to AP homework, Sam and Demetri so engrossed in what Yasmine called “stupid school garbage” that they forgot the blonde girl was even there.
Because as much as Yasmine makes out like she couldn’t care less about anything, she doesn’t like to be reminded that she isn’t book smart. That the math and science that come naturally to Sam and Aisha and Demetri and even Hawk don’t make a lick of sense to her.
Sure, Demetri’s knowledge was useful when it got Yas a good grade. But on its own?
It only reminds her how inadequate she feels. How inadequate Moon knows she’s always felt.
And it was good, in a way, that Aisha tearing Yasmine’s popularity asunder showed her that the world didn’t revolve around her. But Moon senses the deep hurt Yasmine still carries, seeing glimpses of the worlds she’ll never know how to be part of.
So when Yasmine says she loves Demetri’s “nerdspeak,” lust and desire rolling off her in waves, it feels like she was the victim of some Freaky Friday body swap.
People change. Of course they do.
But not like this. Not enough to forget their very sense of self.
“Save me a seat at lunch? Specifically…this one?”
The smack of Yasmine’s hand hitting Demetri’s asscheek reverberates through the hall. Moon has to laugh at the sheer absurdity.
Yasmine hasn’t lost her fire in some ways, at least.
And Demetri doesn’t seem to mind. Perhaps Moon’s assumption was wrong.
She and Yasmine head off to class, her friend fawning nonstop over her geeky boyfriend. Moon smiles and nods along, pushing down the unease swimming in her chest.
Moon picks up a whiff of Yasmine’s perfume, and realizes that it’s lemonflower.
*
Dragging Yasmine away from Demetri at the prom is like trying to bathe a cat.
Moon finally gets her alone after a few songs, suggesting they grab some punch for Demetri and the others. Yasmine eagerly agrees, her entire being lighting up at the thought of doing her boyfriend even a miniscule favor.
There’s something unsettling in the way it’s so mind-bogglingly different from the Yasmine of a few months ago, who would rather chug drain cleaner Heather Chandler style than revolve her entire being around the needs of some boy.
Maybe there’s a way to breach the subject without arousing suspicion.
“I can’t believe you flew all the way back from Australia.” Moon forces a laugh as she ladles punch into Yasmine’s cup. “I didn’t know you were that into him.”
“Oh, Moon!” Yasmine giggles, leaning her head on Moon’s shoulder. “I’m in love.”
She tries not to think about how soft Yasmine’s hair feels against her skin.
“And the dress, too!” Moon reminds herself that Yasmine is very happily spoken for. “You really went all out. It’s kind of cute how you’re embracing nerddom for him.”
Odd, but cute. That’s what Moon has to tell herself.
“You think he liked it?” Yasmine leaned back, twirling around. “It’s not too much, right? I don’t want to seem like I’m trying too hard to impress him. I know guys aren’t into that kind of thing.”
Moon has to laugh again.
“Since when do you care what guys like?”
“Since I found one worth caring about, obviously.”
She sighs, a faraway look in her gray-green eyes. Perhaps she really is in love.
It’s just that Moon always imagined love would feel deeper than this.
“I’m sure Demetri loved it,” Moon concedes. “He’s really happy you came back for him. I can tell.”
“Funny, when I first showed up, he and Hawk were huddled off in some corner brooding, like the idiots couldn’t just dance with each other if they wanted. Almost felt bad taking Hawk’s boyfriend away.”
She snickers, and Moon feels strange.
She decides to change the subject.
“It’s crazy. I mean, imagine what you would’ve said a year ago if I told you you’d be smitten with Demetri Alexopoulos at junior prom. I remember when we first started talking again, you must’ve bitched for twenty minutes about that time he hit on you at your birthday party.”
Yasmine’s silent for a moment.
“He was being a creep.” There’s a steely edge to her voice that wasn’t there before. “He says he’s been watching me from across the lunchroom and I’m supposed to be flattered by that?! Like, dude, who even are you? Why are you talking to me?”
Moon raises her eyebrows.
“A couple weeks ago in science you were gushing about how sweet the ‘admirer from afar’ thing was.”
“Did I?”
Yasmine scowls in disgust. Just underneath it, Moon could swear she picks up a streak of panic.
“Yeah! He kept blowing you kisses across the room, and you giggled so loud that Mrs. Elmes yelled at you, remember?”
“Oh, god. That’s embarrassing.”
She says it like it’s some undignified moment caught on camera at a party—tripping and spilling her drink on someone, or the like. An odd way to talk about a behavior she has more often than not these days.
“He’s still such a weirdo.” Moon wonders if she’s imagining the trace of the Old Yasmine’s scorn. “He’s so, like, awkward about it when he puts his hands on me to dance. Like he’s scared my weird girl body is gonna burn him like a hot plate or something. I mean, we’ve been dating for four months!”
Moon’s stomach squirms.
“Probably just doesn’t want to do anything you might not be comfortable with,” she says quickly.
“He could freaking ask.” Yasmine curls her lip. “But I don’t even think it’s that. He’s an uncoordinated mess. He can’t dance for shit, and I have to do all the work.”
“Hey, don’t be mean!” Moon elbows her gently. “All this stuff is new to him. He never had a girlfriend before you.”
“Yeah. And it shows. Half the time I can’t even tell if he’s like…enjoying himself, you know?”
Yasmine grunts, reaching up and itching the side of her head. The strobe lights catch on something falling from her hair.
Her expression abruptly shifts.
“Oh, my poor baby!” she gasps. “We’ve been leaving him hanging over there, haven’t we? I miss him already. Come on, I’m gonna cry if we miss the slow dance.”
And just like that, the disdain is gone. Yasmine bustles off, snatching her punch and sweeping back onto the dance floor.
Moon looks down at the table, and her eyes land on a gray feather.
A tiny thing, from a tiny, fierce little bird. Beak hooked, meant for killing and piercing like a raptor. Loud, screaming, crass. Unrefined. Ready to jump to violence at the slightest provocation, especially when it gave them an excuse to show off.
Everything Yasmine isn’t.
And, ironically, everything Demetri wants.
Moon’s gaze drifts back and forth between the dance floor—where Yasmine and Demetri have resumed their grinding—and the corner where Hawk stands alone. Hawk’s eyes don’t leave his best friend once.
And, every once in a while, Demetri looks back. Yasmine is none the wiser.
Moon stiffens, guilt trickling over her like hot wax before a hair removal. She downs the rest of her punch in one gulp before going outside and calling an Uber.
I’m such a fucking bitch.
Whatever Demetri and Yasmine get up to at the afterparty, she doesn’t want to be around for it.
*
“So how are things with Demetri?”
Moon keeps her tone light as they finish their food court tacos, but she sees the new charm bracelet around Yasmine’s wrist. And she knows damn well what that means.
“He’s so annoying.” Yasmine wastes no time diving into a rant. “He never fucking listens. I try to talk about stuff I care about or that I think is interesting, and he’s always acting distracted or changing the subject or whatever. I was telling him this cool thing I read online about the history of georgette skirts, and he didn’t ask a single follow-up question. I’ll bet the world’s shittiest sponge is better at retaining crap than him.”
“Sheesh.” Moon makes a face. “I’m sorry. Boys are the worst sometimes.”
“And that’s not even all.” Apparently Yasmine wasn’t finished. “Not ten minutes later, he’s rambling on and on about this blaster thing he unlocked in some video game. It was the verbal equivalent of having cement poured directly into my brain. And he has the nerve to call me boring?!”
“He did?” Moon scowls, genuinely peeved. “That’s so rude!”
Perhaps Demetri wasn’t as sweet and thoughtful as he always came across.
“Wouldn’t be the first time.” Yasmine frowns right back. “So he gets all snippy with me because he’s being a soggy paper towel of a human being and obviously I’m zoning out. He starts quizzing me on all the dumb bullshit he was blathering about, and I finally snap and tell him he’s boring me out of my fucking mind. And then he gives this whole speech about how at least he’s spending his free time learning strategy and problem-solving and hand-eye coordination, and all I’m doing is looking at clothes online.”
They walk over to the trash and throw out their taco wrappers. With both hands free, Yasmine’s free to gesture more fully and furiously.
“Girl, I got so mad that I called him an antisocial freak and told him he was damn lucky I ever gave him a shot. That was probably kind of messed up, but whatever. Sam doesn’t cut him down to size enough, so I have to pick up the slack. Anyways, I was storming out of the restaurant, but he did the following-and-groveling thing. And sure enough, we ended up at Kay again.”
Yasmine looks down at her bracelet-clogged arm, a forlorn expression swimming over her pretty features.
“I don’t know why I keep letting this happen.” She sighs. “It’s like trying to plug up a boat leak with fucking office tape.”
“Why don’t you break up with him?”
“I wish I could!” Moon’s caught off-guard by the genuine despair lacing Yasmine’s words. “I’ve rehearsed the speech a billion times. But…every time I’m around him, it’s like I’m hit with some kind of emotional tidal wave. And suddenly I can’t bear the thought of ending things.”
She looks so lost. So frantic. So helpless.
“I see him and all I can think about is how much I want him,” she goes on. “No room for anything else. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before, and it freaks me out.”
Once upon a time, Moon might have called that love. She knows better now.
She wants to reach across the table and take Yasmine’s hand. Reassure her that this is what overpowering teenage crushes are like. That of course your mind finds ways to make hormones and attraction centered around one person seem like the be-all end-all of everything. Hell, she remembers feeling that way about Hawk before she came down from the high and realized how incompatible they were.
But Moon doesn’t. She can’t.
“Something’s not right with me, Moon.” Yasmine’s voice is quiet and fragile—a tone Moon hasn’t heard for a long time. “Sometimes, I don’t—I don’t feel like myself. You remember that week you were in Cancun? I went to the mall with Sam and Demetri, and Sam was complimenting the lemon balm perfume I had on, but you know I never wear lemon-scented shit. Like what am I, a cleaning product?!”
Moon laughs, gladly taking Yasmine’s implicit offer to lighten the atmosphere.
That was one thing Moon always appreciated about her. She never passed up an opportunity to use snarky bluntness to make a joke out of something unpleasant.
It’s part of why her and Demetri’s connection hadn’t surprised Moon. At least not initially.
The strange thing was that their bond got as far as it did.
“At first I thought it was because something stuck to me when I walked through the perfume section of Macy’s,” Yasmine goes on. “But we all went through there, and I couldn’t smell any lemon shit on Sam and Demetri. Am I going crazy or what?”
Moon pushes away the sinking feeling in her chest.
“Maybe it’s Sam who’s imagining things.”
“That’s what I thought, too.” Yasmine’s voice grows terse with panic. “But then Demetri starts bragging about how I always wear the lemon perfume when I go out on dates with him. With the air of someone who, like, actually believes what they’re saying. And I don’t know what the fuck he’s talking about.”
“Like Demetri knows anything about perfumes. He probably got it mixed up with that bergamot one you like.”
Her reassurance doesn’t appear to work.
“Whatever,” Yasmine huffs. “Let’s talk about something else, yeah?”
Moon lets Demetri slip from the conversation, fading into mental oblivion as they leave the food court and head for H&M. Yasmine brightens almost immediately, losing herself gushing over cute pink dresses and fuzzy purple sweaters and champagne-tinted heels. The afternoon passes easily, sliding in and out of changing rooms and twirling and laughing in front of department store mirrors.
For a while, Moon can almost forget the overpowering fear emanating from her closest friend. She can almost forget feeling like the world’s cruelest sociopath.
*
When Moon knocks on the door to 44101 Portico Place for the first time in months, she’s only half expecting an answer.
It’s 5:00 on a Wednesday, so plenty of time for any after-school extracurriculars to finish up. But, of course, showing up anywhere unannounced always has the potential to go disastrously wrong.
Demetri helped her develop a healthy dose of pessimism. She isn’t sure whether to be grateful.
The door opens after only a couple minutes.
“Moonshine? What’s going on?”
Moon offers a strained smile. “Hey, Pipes.”
Piper frowns at her across the threshold, looking more concerned than angry. It makes Moon feel all the guiltier.
“Is everything okay?” Piper asks.
“Sorry to bother you. It’s—it’s about Yasmine. And you’re one of the only people I felt like I could ask.”
She winces at the flash of hurt in Piper’s face. Her ex leans on the doorframe, crossing her arms and cocking an eyebrow.
“Go on,” she says, tone resigned.
“So…” Moon takes a breath. “Remember when you said you couldn’t be with me until I figured my feelings for Yasmine out?”
“Yeah?”
“I…may have done some light spellcasting and accidentally hexed her into falling in love with a gay guy.”
Piper blinks a few times, taking a moment to process everything. Finally she groans, running a hand over her face.
“Jesus Christ, Moon. Come in—I’ll get us both some fucking edibles for this.”
Piper’s living room is exactly how Moon remembers it—cream-colored couches, tasteful wall décor, chic modern fireplace. A goofy, surfboard-shaped coffee table that Piper’s parents had once tried to sell at a yard sale, but little Piper screamed and cried and beat the ground with her fists until they relented to keeping her favorite piece of furniture.
Now, Moon props her sandaled feet up on a bar that runs underneath it. The metal is cold against her skin.
She tries to focus on that. Sensations in the here and now. Things immediate and tangible.
Not the abstract mess she’s caused.
Piper returns after a few minutes, placing a glass of carrot ginger lemonade and a small gummy on a coaster. Moon picks up the gummy, tentatively taking a nibble.
Piper chuckles. “Don’t worry, it’s not that many mils. I don’t want us to be totally baked.”
Moon takes a more generous bite.
“So.” Piper sits next to her and takes a sip of her own concoction—some kind of purplish whey smoothie. “What did you do?”
Moon gathers her thoughts, working through how best to phrase it.
“You remember when we first met?”
“Sure.” Piper smiles thinly. “Our parents dragged us to that dumb gala, and I found you sobbing your eyes out in the bathroom because your ex-best-friend threw you out like you were nothing. And then I went on to find you have a terrible habit of swooning over the world’s most horrendous shitbags.”
She lets out a small laugh. “I guess so, huh?”
Piper rolls her eyes. “I told you. Over and over and over.”
“I know, I know.” Moon sighs, wearily admitting defeat. “About a week before that party, Yasmine and I had a phone call. And she just…cut into me. Said so many awful things. And I get it. I mean, her sweet sixteen got ruined and then as like…icing on the cake, I ditched her for the people she hated. But I don’t think anyone’s ever broken me down like that before.”
Piper tosses a comforting arm around her shoulder. For a moment, they’re back on tile floors under harsh fluorescent lighting, puffing blunts and snickering about fake people.
“I know,” Piper says softly. “And when I found you, you were still pretty shaken from it. I hope I helped.”
Despite herself, Moon leans into her.
“You helped more than you know.”
“Clearly not enough to stop you from going out and doing some sort of supernatural fuckery.”
Moon laughs softly. “That’s the thing, though. I think it was already too late.”
“What do you mean?”
She takes a breath.
“That night, after Yasmine hung up on me…I don’t know. It felt like my whole life shattered. I guess in a moment of weakness, I pulled out my spellbook.”
Piper narrows her eyes. “You said you only ever used that thing to ‘cleanse the house of bad energy’ or whatever. Or give yourself good luck charms on tests. Not—”
“—cursing people, I know,” Moon finishes. “I was so upset that I wasn’t thinking straight. I recited this whole incantation that was supposed to make Yasmine know how it felt to want someone who would never want her back. And, um…I guess the love gods interpreted that as her getting down bad for a guy who doesn’t even like women.”
“Wait. Isn’t that the same guy who did an MTV-style roast of your weird ex that one time?”
Moon sighs wearily. “That’s Demetri all right.”
“I knew it.” Piper pounds her fist into the couch triumphantly. “Of course he’s gay. Straight dudes don’t pull that kind of petty shit.”
“He’s not exactly subtle, is he?”
“Nope.”
It’s Piper’s turn to sigh, eyeing Moon with an almost pitying look.
“Are you sure Yasmine doesn’t genuinely like him, and just has a shit gaydar? Or she’s really deep in denial? I know I’ve pined after my fair share of straight girls.”
Moon shakes her head. “I second-guessed myself for a long while. Thought maybe I was wrong about Demetri. Or maybe Yasmine had changed so much that she really is into the whole geek shtick now. But…”
She takes a long sip of her carrot ginger lemonade, hoping the intense flavor will somehow give her strength.
“She acts like an entirely different person whenever we’re with him. And…not really in a good ‘he makes her want to be better’ type of way. More like she’s forgotten everything she likes and every aspect of her being that isn’t related to her boyfriend.”
Piper stares at an abstract, avant-garde wall painting, deep in thought.
“Maybe she’s, like, stuck in a codependence loop,” she says. “You said she was pretty clingy with you freshman and sophomore year, right?”
“That was different, though. She acted one way alone with me and one way out in public, sure. But it made sense. Whenever we see Demetri, it’s like Yasmine’s being mind-controlled by one of those thirsty freshmen who think Demetri’s the hottest guy in school because he won a karate fight one time. Then as soon as I get Yas alone, she doesn’t seem to remember half of what she said or did. And when I fill her in, she gets super embarrassed. Not that Yas can’t put on a façade if she needs, but…why would she intentionally make an idiot of herself if she’s gonna be mortified an hour later? She’s not impulsive like that.”
Piper shrugs. “Hormones make people act stupid. I did some truly absurd shit the first time I was trying to get chicks to notice me.”
“Hormones don’t make you go into a weird trance that your brain bleaches right after. People only wish that happened.”
“Maybe Yasmine’s lucky enough to have a brain that can bleach on command,” says Piper cheekily. “Or maybe she’s way too proud to admit she’s being dumb over a boy, so she tries to like…will it out of existence through not acknowledging it.”
“It’s not just about the embarrassment, though.” Moon sucks in her breath. “Every time she realizes about the memory gaps, she’s scared. Like she knows something’s wrong with her.”
Piper groans, leaning back against the couch and sprawling her arms across a cushion. “Can we prove she’s not being a diva? Leave it to Yasmine to make a fucking ocean’s worth of fuss about the same teen angst literally everyone deals with.”
Moon winces at the scorn in Piper’s voice.
It really is a shitty move, asking her ex-girlfriend for help with a girl she knows Piper can’t stand. That Piper has a damn good reason to hate. Assuming the worst about Yasmine’s romance troubles is only fair.
But what other choice did Moon have? It’s not like her scientifically-minded friends, with their AP classes and their blocked chakras, would believe her about a magic spell gone awry.
“She starts smelling like the spell components whenever she’s near Demetri,” Moon says flatly. “And a couple of them came out of her hair. It’s not stuff she’d ever wear otherwise.”
Piper sits back up, suddenly fully alert with her arms crossed.
“You could have led with that.”
“I thought the weird, erratic behavior was more important!”
“As if I’d have a hard time believing that girl would have mood swings.” Piper’s grimace falters slightly as she rolls her eyes. “Like. Moonshine, that’s your type.”
“Shut up!”
Moon swats her. Piper chuckles briefly before her expression grows pained again.
She processes everything for a moment, groaning again and putting her face in her hand.
“Christ, girl,” she mumbles. “If this is real…yeah, that’s a pretty big fuckup. I’m not the biggest Yasmine fan, but yeesh.”
“I know.” Moon makes a face. “Trust me, I never meant to mess with her mind like that, but—”
“—you were hurting so much that you did anyway.”
“…more or less. I think, deep down, I didn’t believe anything would happen. It was to make me feel better in the moment.”
“Yeah, I know you.” Piper looks up, offering her a small smile. “I think you’d have an easier time permanently giving up smoothies than intentionally hurting someone.”
“I just feel so awful!” Moon wails, guilt bubbling up and erupting out of her like a volcano. “I know Yasmine hasn’t been the best person, but she should be able to at least choose who she loves. Even if that’s never going to be me.”
“So…did you come here so I could make you feel better?” Piper scrutinizes her. “Because I won’t lie—I’m kind of at a loss right now.”
“I don’t know.” Moon sighs again. “I came here because you’re the only person I trust who I figured would like…entertain this whole thing. Anyone else would call me crazy.”
Because at the end of the day, Piper may be rough-edged and butch and intimidating, but she’s open-minded. She’s willing to hear anyone’s point of view, and tries to embrace every walk of life. And she’s never one to dismiss possibilities outright, no matter how absurd they sound. No matter how “weird” the people saying them are.
It’s part of what initially drew the two of them together. Well…that and acai bowls.
“Right. So you want solutions.”
It’s almost embarrassing how fast Piper deduces it.
“That…that would be great.”
Piper takes a long sip of her health smoothie, slurps echoing around the room.
“Seems like a proximity thing. You said she acts more lucid when she’s away from Demetri, right?”
“Right.”
“So make plans to hang out, get her alone, and snap her out of it.”
Moon bites her lip. “I’m, uh…not sure how.”
“Demetri makes her act like she’s not herself, so…” Piper shrugs. “Remind her who she really is.”
Moon chuckles hollowly.
“That’s the other thing. I don’t entirely dislike the person she’s become thanks to the…Demetri thing. She’s a lot nicer, for one. And less judgmental.”
Piper seems to be holding back laughter.
“So…you want Yasmine to be her true self and get her free will back and all, but you’re worried that when she does…she’ll be someone you and everyone else will personally find less palatable?”
Moon glowers at her. “Well, when you say it like that, it sounds bad!”
A snicker finally worms its way out.
“Yeah, because it’s an incredibly shady thing to say.”
“You know that’s not what I meant.” Moon huffs. “Look, isn’t there some way to undo the spell without undoing her growth? Because like…in a weird way, I feel like she has grown as a person since she got magicked into being obsessed with Demetri. Is that bad?”
“Not necessarily, but you’re being awfully picky for someone who doesn’t even know if or how they can reverse their own paranormal fuck-up.”
“I thought you might know of a way to do some kind of partial reversal. Make her stop being crazy about Demetri, but keep some of the good ways she’s changed?”
“Sooooo.” Piper slurps more of her smoothie, expression growing insufferably smug. “Considering that fucking around with the nuance of this already-opaque-sounding spell is an objectively terrible idea…the way I see it, you have two options. You can break the spell and let Yasmine be whoever she wants, even if it’s someone who kind of sucks. Or you can leave her to be this weird enigmatic love curse’s braindead meat puppet for the rest of her days—with the perk that she’s more pleasant to be around. So what’s it gonna be, Moonshine?”
“But surely there’s some way to—”
“Uh-uh.” Piper cuts her off. “Look, I don’t know any more about this stuff than you do, but I doubt we’re talking about a spectrum here. Can’t have your cake and eat it too and all that. Either we lift the curse, or we don’t, so…what do you want to do?”
After a long moment, Moon sighs.
“I want Yasmine to be free.”
“So you need to do what I said. Remind her who she really is.”
“Even if…‘who she really is’ turns out to be mean and self-centered and kind of awful?”
“Eeyup. That’s Yasmine. Take her or leave her.”
“Even if it undoes all her personal growth from the last year?”
“That’s the conundrum, isn’t it?” Piper leans nonchalantly against the back of the couch, arm on the headboard. “We don’t know how much of that was the spell, and how much was the real Yasmine wanting to improve herself. So we gotta let the real Yasmine out and hope for the best, yeah?”
Moon looks down at her lap and smiles, shaking her head. “People won’t be too thrilled to have her back.”
“Then that’s going to be her problem, not yours. If you’re such a bitch that you need magic intervention to make you tolerable, then maybe you deserve to lose all your friends.”
It sounds harsh, but Moon can’t argue.
“Hey, c’mon.” Piper scoots over, playfully nudging Moon’s side. “I know how much you cared about her. That’s why it felt like your world was ending when she cut you off. And why you were still hung up on her while we were together. So there must’ve been something in there you thought was worth fighting for.”
And of course there was.
Because this was Yasmine. The same Yasmine who danced like a dork and smiled with dimples as soon as no one was watching. The same Yasmine who yanked Moon into every single one of her snapchat stories, no matter how mundane. The same Yasmine who didn’t think twice about defending Moon’s honor when she thought Sam was talking shit, and told Sam to get the hell out of Moon’s Benz.
The same Yasmine who talked about her and Moon as a single intertwined unit. Unfathomable to her as something that would ever split, until that fateful night on the beach. The same Yasmine who trusted that wherever one of them went, the other would follow.
Sure, there was plenty about her that was cruel and vindictive and conceited. And she’d spent her time at West Valley High so drunk on her own power that she kept digging herself a deeper and deeper grave, earning the hatred of most of her classmates. Good looks could only got you so far when you leaked poison and bile from every pore in your body.
But who is Moon to decide which traits Yasmine gets to keep, and which are magicked away? Who is Moon to remold Yasmine into a watered-down, docile amalgamation of what had once been her assets, when not so long ago, Moon fell in love with the entire picture?
And now Yasmine’s a hollowed-out shell of a person, all empty smiles and lifeless giggles. A painting cobbled together by some computer program—beautiful and polished and splendid on the surface, but a closer look reveals the details are all off.
A closer look reveals something without a soul, no light behind those sharp gray-green eyes.
“Fuck,” Moon says miserably, head sliding into her hands. “I want my best friend back.”
“So go get her back, then.” Piper nudges her again. “And maybe go easy on the evil curses this time? I don’t know, just a suggestion.”
“Oh, stop.” Moon scoffs, but there’s no real venom in it.
Piper rolls her eyes, although not unfondly.
“I wish I’d known you back then.” She laughs, shaking her head. “I could’ve told you from the jump that fucking with the occult was a bad idea. Yes, even when a girl breaks your heart. Which, in my opinion, is the highest and most profound type of pain.”
“Naturally.”
Moon sighs wearily, smile fading.
“I don’t know if anyone could’ve stopped me, honestly. When she—when she broke what we had, it was like I’d fallen into some rushing river and I could barely keep my head up. And I was headed right for one of those tall waterfalls with sharp rocks at the bottom from adventure movies. For whatever reason, lashing out felt like the only way to get a breath of air.”
Piper hums thoughtfully.
“I will say that this all makes me feel better about how I reacted the first time someone rejected me. I liked this girl Lila in the sixth grade, and when she found out, she called me a fat ugly dyke in front of all her friends. So I filled her locker with sweaty gym clothes.”
Moon wrinkles her nose as Piper cackles. “Ew, Pipes! You’re disgusting!”
“Okay, but I don’t summon Satan to make my crush want to fuck a gay guy senseless.”
“I did not summon Satan—”
“Sorry, Satan’s right-hand man Joe the Sexual Orientation Confuser.”
“Imagine if there were demons that actually did that.” The concept is admittedly intriguing. “They get sent up from the underworld or wherever solely to make cosmically cursed straights fall in love with cosmically cursed gays. And cosmically cursed gays fall in love with cosmically cursed straights.”
“Shit.” Piper grimaces again. “Wonder what I did to piss Joe off.”
“You’ve really liked that many straight girls?” Moon has to giggle.
“You have no idea,” Piper mumbles. “And trust me—your ex wasn’t the first guy to assume I played for the other team.”
“Not sure his heart was in that one. I think he wanted get a rise out of me, honestly. No offense.”
“Oh my god. The sheer irony.”
“He really thought I’d get jealous of my own girlfriend. As if there’s any girl I’d care about my unserious two-month fling hitting on.”
And then they’re both laughing, swaying on the couch and clutching at one another to keep from toppling over.
“Hi, I’m your run-of-the-mill punk poser and I think I get more ass than a proctologist!” Piper grabs the couch arm, attempting to do dramatic poses as she talks. “I know you’re frantic to have me back, even though my only skills are yelling and punching my friends for no reason!”
“Stoooop.” Despite herself, Moon only laughs harder. It’s probably just the edible finally kicking in. “You’re so rude!”
“Like your ex even knows how not to be an inappropriate, boundary-crossing weirdo.”
“He’s getting better!”
“Because he’s finally learning after his 7th attempt that asking a girl you just met to fondle your gelled-up hairdo isn’t going to wield results.”
“He wouldn’t—”
“He totally would, though!”
Moon snickers, shaking her head.
“Fine, yeah. He would.”
As the laughter dies down, Piper’s phone buzzes. She picks it up, frowning as she reads a text on her home screen.
“Hey, I gotta run soon. One of the kids from the dojo is hosting pizza night.”
“Oh, right. How’s that going?”
It’s amusing, really, how easy it is to forget Piper’s in Cobra Kai now. If the dojo’s truly the all-powerful, all-corrupting force Eli claims, then Moon’s ex-girlfriend must be entirely immune. Even if she and Piper haven’t spoken in a while, Moon hasn’t seen any evidence whatsoever of Piper caving to some kind of deeply-buried inner asshole.
Not that it was buried too deep, in Eli’s case.
“It’s fun. Good exercise during the gymnastics off-season.” Piper shrugs. “Some of the people in my class take it way too seriously, though. Like it’s high school karate, not the fucking Cuban missile crisis!”
“Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard.” Moon makes a face. “I was…kind of worried for you when I heard you joined. They treat it like a cult.”
“Oh, please.” Piper scoffs. “Like I’d ever buy into those sorts of stupid dramatics. I mean, don’t get me wrong—it can be fun to spar with people who’re so intense about it that they act like their fucking life is on the line. Makes things interesting. But I’m mostly there for the free shit.”
“Really?” Moon cocks an eyebrow. “You always seem so excited on your snapchats.”
“Yeah, like, it’s good energy. Everyone’s super passionate. But it gets to be a little much sometimes, you know? The senseis treat it like this huge life-or-death thing. Like sure, placing in a global tournament would be cool, but it’s not that big a deal? And sometimes I wonder how much my teammates are actually, like, enjoying themselves, and how much they’re stressing over nothing.” Piper purses her lips disdainfully. “Honestly? I’m going to rack up as much free equipment as I can, and then I’m gonna ditch them for Topanga or something. They seem way more chill.”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Moon frowns. “I know they can go psycho when someone quits. Look what happened to Hawk.”
“Any of those bitches come at me with a razor and I’ll beat their ass into next week.” Piper rolls her eyes, unfazed.  “And what the hell are the senseis going to do? Call the cops on me for quitting their dojo? They’ll get laughed off the phone.”
“Just…be careful. I don’t want Cobra Kai hurting anyone else I care about.”
Before she can stop herself, she reaches out and squeezes Piper’s hand. The other girl turns and fixes her with a pale green gaze, expression unreadable.
“Okay,” she says quietly, tone turning serious.
Piper’s phone buzzes again, and the moment ends.
“Damn,” she mutters, glancing at her texts. “I forgot I said I’d bring jaeger bombs. I’d better get ready.”
“Oh, sorry.” Moon pulls away, embarrassed. “I don’t mean to take up too much of your time.”
“Don’t worry about it. I hope I could help.”
They stand up, and Piper starts to walk her out. Moon stares at the floor, suddenly feeling anxious again.
She stops right before they reach the front door. “What you said to do with Yasmine…what if it doesn’t work?”
“You better hope it does, because otherwise you’re going to have to consult the dark web or something. And then you’ll have to wade through about 70 sites with the most degenerate porn you’ve ever seen before finding anything useful.”
Moon laughs, tension easing.
“I guess I’ll deal with that when it happens. Or if.”
“Exactly. One thing at a time.”
“Well…I’ll let you go.” Moon offers Piper one last smile, opening the front door. “Have fun at your pizza party, okay?”
She’s halfway onto the porch when Piper catches her wrist, pulling her back.
“Hey, Moonshine…”
She turns. “Yeah?”
“I meant what I said before.” Piper bites her lip, meeting Moon’s eyes nervously. “About, um…if you sort through this whole Yasmine thing, and you ever decide you want to try again…all you have to do is ask.”
The surprise on Moon’s face must throw her for a loop.
“I mean, I’m not saying I’m going to sit on my ass waiting around,” she amends quickly, grip loosening. “I can’t promise I won’t move on. And I’m not, like, some piney mess who’s got nothing better to do than try and ‘win you back’ or whatever. But if you’re ever feeling it, and Yasmine’s not an issue anymore…just ask. The worst I’ll do is say no.”
And before Moon knows what she’s doing, she steps back inside and wraps Piper in a tight hug.
“Thank you,” she murmurs into the thick, bushy hair she remembers loving so much. “For helping. You didn’t have to, and I appreciate it.”
“I know.” Slowly but surely, Piper hugs her back. “But someone has to check you before you cause some domino effect that sends half the school into a sexuality crisis.”

Some author's notes, in no particular order:
I will literally die on the hill that Demetri is a bad boyfriend. All he's ever done IN CANON has been to objectify and generally be gross with Yasmine??? And the lead up to the whole icky "sexual venn diagram" comment was basically "hey, you should settle for me because I'm popular now and everyone thinks you're a laughingstock <3" Like wow! What a great way to treat the girl you're supposed to be "101% in love with"! And in S4 onwards he doesn't appear to know jack shit ABOUT her and just puts her on this pedestal as his "dream girl" while never actually mentioning anything about her personality.
I'm honestly not surprised that the natural progression of their relationship in S5 was (most likely) Yasmine getting fed up with Demetri not giving any visible shits about who she is as a person, and getting into fights with him the second she starts asserting her own wants and needs outside of him. And of course he gets her shallow jewelry gifts to placate her, which is just further proof he doesn't know her at all--it reads like he just saw on the internet that "girls like jewelry." And it's not like it actually solves anything, considering he's gotten her so many apology gifts that she can "barely lift her arm"! Tbh it pisses me off to not end that people whine and bitch about Demetri being a "bad friend" (which is so easily disproved it's not even funny) and don't make a peep about the gross way he treats his own fucking canon love interest. Please roast my trash son Demetri Alexopoulos for the RIGHT reasons!!!
I really did my damndest to keep Yasmine as canon-compliant as possible here. I do think she and Moon messed around in S1 and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise, but I tried to keep everything we see of her here consistent with how she acts onscreen in seasons 1, 3, and 5. Season 4 is the obvious odd man out, which...needless to say is kinda the point XD But you take S4 out of the mix and accept some weird fluke was going on that was making her act that way, and we get something semi-plausible to work with! Hopefully she comes across as in-character (from what little we see of her!) here.
Also she does not love it when Demetri talks nerdy. Aisha and Sam's S1 salt conversation proves that she is not about it when people talk about nerdy school-related shit that reads like an inside joke she can't get in on (which applies to...most school-related things, considering she's shown to be kind of book dumb). She loves when Demetri gets her good grades, but she doesn't like. Have any inherent interest in school-related "nerdy" things??? And has never been shown to??? "Character development" shouldn't come out of nowhere and involve characters randomly getting into things they have never been shown to be drawn to actually!
I also hope I did an okay job writing Piper here! I wish I could write more MoonPiper, but we get!!! So ANNOYINGLY little of them and of Piper in general??? Like seriously, I went back and rewatched all the Piper scenes in the show, and there's like. Maybe 5 or 6 in THE WHOLE SHOW??? I barely have anything to work with and it is AGGRAVATING because I really love Piper and MoonPiper as a ship!!! And I want to do it justice that isn't just me projecting my own headcanons and theories because I don't know what else to do!!!
I really do think Piper is Not As Invested in Cobra Kai as everyone else though, lmao. Like she is there for shits and giggles, and also free merch. She respects herself too much to become a slave to the "cobra kai for life" bullshit lol
It IS incredibly funny to me that Moon gets more homoerotic scenes with her Super Totally Straight Best Friend than with the girl who was canonically her girlfriend. Like I love both ships, I really do, but when they give Yas and Moon SO many fruity scenes while their boyfriends are also being fruity, what did they EXPECT!!! Of COURSE I'm going to write YasMoon like my life depends on it!!!
Also, Moon saw that nacho nonsense with Hawk and Demetri in S2. She saw Hawk yank Demetri onstage during Valley Fest. She saw Hawk get all snippy about Demetri hitting on girls at the beach. She saw Hawk throw a hissy fit because his boyfriend bestie wouldn't join his evil dojo. She damn well knows they're gay!
And so does Piper ajadhskufbhd these girls weren't born yesterday!
Hoping to get this entire fic up on AO3 sometime in November! :3

Adonis, The Male Cecaelia "Sea Witch"
With MerMay 2023 coming to a close soon, I've decided to create a male cecaelia character (aka octopus merman, half human half octopus). He is a sea witch (wizard...sorcerer...whatever).
Tumblr media
His aesthetic moodboard:
Tumblr media
He was probably one of the hardest characters to write up as he is flamboyant, similar to that to Ursula and a couple of other characters.
The script I wrote won't be submitted to a male VA anytime soon. Possibly might submit it close to MerMay 2024. For now...I leave you with his aesthetic moodboard!
Have a lovely weekend!

Gen, magic realism, modern fantasy, historical, spy thriller, detective fiction, vampires, drama, angst, heavy worldbuilding
He/him with 20+ years of experience in creative writing in search of gently paced but reliable advanced literate to novella writing partners! My writing samples require an account to access, but a (very outdated) public sample from ten years ago can be found here to give you a rough idea.
I am broadly searching for platonic spies and detectives in the vampire Vatican in an original worldbuilding group, which lore is extensive and compared by some to Vampire the Masquerade whilst following factual history. I've a (happily married) male character several years in development with 30+ paragraphs of biography available.
I do want to note that this is a group environment, but prose writing is conducted one on one and it's best thought of as a pool of busy professionals who pair up for collaborative writing depending on whose schedules align. I find collective worldbuilding to be far richer and dynamic, and we get to serve as accountability partners as well as being inspired by other characters inhabiting the same world when we are too busy to write.
I prefer to take time with my writing as opposed to rapid fire, with judicious use of poetic and oranamental prose. Suggested dynamics include:
✨ Spies in the vampiric government to team up on collaboratively generated missions *Especially wanted by the group* ✨ Priests and/or exorcists (human and vampire) as well as magic users in a monastic order ✨ Pen friends for epistolic narratives ✨ Hannigram inspired progenies ✨ Mulder/Scully partnerships ✨ A male WWII progeny with details ✨ Elves for complex and nuanced ancient history with my reincarnating M *Especially wanted for a detailed concept* ✨ Open to ideas!
The setting is an immersive, magic realist worldbuilding group with handcrafted lore set in contemporary London. Our focus is on day to day statecraft and governance of vampires, werewolves and witches as they integrate seamlessly into a modern society that they helped engineer in secret. Will they set their commonalities and differences aside as a growing elven threat looms over humanity? Join our writers room events, solve mysteries, design missions and navigate international relations in a historically accurate world!
✨ 21+ ✨ Expansive evolving lore and historical accuracy ✨ Modern setting with historical flashbacks and flashforwards ✨ Novella writers with decades of experience ✨ Gently paced one on one prose writing with optional mystery solving, mission objectives and political intrigue between factions ✨ Character bio and real face claim required ✨ Outstanding data management and content flexibility via html/css including moodboards, playlists and visual support
Please DM if you are interested in writing together with me!

Alex’s Christmas Sleepover 2022!!!
Tumblr media
Okay, okay, sooooo
Last year I started this way too late and I also, like, completely failed and didn’t get any of my story requests done, so I greatly apologize for that 😅😅😅 BUT to @shadyrunawaykingdom, @corner-emo​, and @sevenmillionpsychos​, if you still want the same stories that you requested previously, I will write them this year and they will be the very first stories that I put out from this. If you want a new story instead, just let me know and I’ll do that instead. If you’d like to request another story along with your previous one, that’s perfectly fine, just know that your new story requests will go into whatever list I have going after your previous requests are done. If you need a reminder on what story you requested last year, let me know and I’ll tell you!! 
So, now, here’s how things will go. Below, I’ll have listed the characters that I’m currently comfortable writing for categorized by fandoms, as well as different symbols relating to christmas and whatnot. You get to choose if you want a moodboard or story (if you pick story, you automatically get a moodboard as well, please keep that in mind), as well as what character or characters you’d like in it. If you want a story, you get to choose what type of story (smut, angst, fluff, comfort, etc. as well as any combinations - any characters I list that are canonically younger than 18, I will be aging up unless you ask for a scenario that requires them to be younger, just no asking for there to be smut while the character isnt aged up to 18+) as well as if you’d like a shorter story (Around 500-1,500 words) or a longer story (Around 2,000+). You then get to also add in any of the christmas symbols that I list and voila. I shall create something for you 😌
I do ask that you go through this whole post in order to create your request. Also, if you want a specific version of a character (ie, Emo!Wanda Maximoff, Dark!Lizzie Saltzman, Season 3!Eddie Munson, etc., etc..), then please let me know!! You can just fill out the information below and let me fill in the blanks with whatever comes to my mind or you can give me a specific scenario along with the other things as well, it's entirely up to you!!

My dragon age next gen kids moodboard were only humans and dwarves, so I started a new elfy one, and decided to document my process.
Here is the resulting rambling.
First thing I usually do is find stand-ins for the parents, to have *something* to start from. They usually don't appear on the moodboard itself, but I love to do that step.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm pinning these two deviantartists as Cammen & Gheyna, teens from the DAO dalish camp that the warden help get together (them but older & as parents). This is to keep to my theme of "kids that exist or survive thanks to the heroes of Thedas".
It's then time to pick a name. It can be a lore thing, i.e. Ailis Theirin is named after a chantry sister from Maric and Loghain's fereldan rebellion days, who raised Cailan and, I choose to believe, Anora too, once Loghain started bringing her to work. It can also be completely unrelated: I wanted an old french name for Pernille de Chalons, but as a french person myself, all of it sounded cringey; in the end her name is from the karpe song Au Pair. It sounds orlesian enough but is not actually french.
I'm not good at elven names in Dragon Age, my Lavellan inquisitor is named Sheana because I was being a Dune nerd when I learned there was a Siona among the emerald knights (iykyk). The reward for the quest Cammen's Lament is The Tale of Iloren and its corresponding codex, a book cherished by Cammen's family for generations. I like Iloren; it's technically a male keeper in the tale, but the name feels gender neutral, and I want that kid to be a girl.
Cammen & Gheyna get married in 9:30, but they're so young their first child doesn't have to be born for a number of years. By my referent point 9:52, I want her to still be a teen, around the same age as her parents when we meet them in Origins ? I don't actually know how old Cammen and Gheyna are. I also want Lena (born in 9:37) to still be the baby of the band; let's go with 9:35.
Now, class ! I really want a dalish warrior, but there aren't many interesting warrior specializations. Champion hasn't been used yet, but feels too similar to Ariane from Witch Hunt. Reaver is probably my best option.
Identity down, now to the moodboard specifics !
I like to follow the old lavellanpls template because it forces me to think about the character in details I would not have thought of.
Complexion is a square I use for faceclaims. Both Iloren's parents are white, like a lot of Dragon Age NPCs; I've not had a lot of wriggle room for non-white next gen kids outside of Zerlinda's son, whose dad is not shown, and Kieran, both Morrigan and Alistair being biracial even if Bioware doesn't show it. I don't really brainstorm for that one, I simply look at a lot of pictures until something clicks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wardrobe has a few armor options from my initial generic dalish pin rampage, that I may choose from when I have a better idea of the dominant color. My main issue is the lack of consistency in dalish heavy armor, and how hard it is to find a real life equivalent.
Hair can be Gheyna's red, Cammen's ash blond, or a mix of the two, but I have too many redheads already.
Now is the time I start to lie invent rather than extrapolate. I want this elven kid to be strongly attached to her dalish way of life, à la Velana, because we have enough self-loathing elves in canon. That could Home accounted for then, something representing the dalish camp, or the nearby Brecilian ruins.
Obviously I cannot resist the Animal square for a dalish from that clan, born after the werewolf conflict, to be a wolf despite how on the nose it is. I like when things are predictable.
Iloren has to be an extravert, if not because she was raised in a commune, then because we have more introverts in the current next gen lineup and I like balance. E, S and J feel right, let's try ESTJ. Yes this is relevant, as I use either the Season or Element squares as clues for the character's personality. Season I will probably put Brecilian forest in its winter dreariness, so let's focus on element: First one I can think of is ironbark, "surprisingly strong and very light". It is also somewhat blue in color; that is our first official color of the moodboard ! It doesn't feel very Reaver-y though, but we have other squares to express that.
Accessory square I often put down as a weapon, as that seems the most logical option for a prized possession. It could also be something sentimental from games lore, like Tini Kondrat's toy horse, like the one the warden gave Oghren as a joke, that he may have repurposed as an actual toy for his child. I've only played Reaver with two handed weapons, let's continue this trend. Ideally something resembling the Sulevin Blade from Inquisition, because it is the perfect weapon for Iloren, but not one she would have access to.
Tumblr media
Last square unaccounted for is Texture, which is usually my "make the moodboard actually cohesive" free card, while keeping it relevant to the character, adding personality or background hints I could not fit into the rest. Reavers get off on pain, and bruises would fit into the blue-ish color scheme, while adding the reaver touch that was missing.
Aaaand we're done ! A brand new complete character, spun whole cloth from a vague desire to have an elf in the lineup.
