Modern Death Metal.

[theloverofdragons]

She’d said from the start that this was a bad idea.

It was bad enough that Yix and Pachelbel’s first attempts at firing her out of the cannon in an effort to get her into the Flying Fortress had overshot, causing her to land in one of Doomwood’s swamps, but hearing they would have to shoot her out of the cannon three more times to get it right?!

The good news was that the second attempt actually did send her into the Flying Fortress.

The bad news was that she’d landed a bit lower than anticipated, so rather than ending up in the flying eyeballs’ roost, she instead found herself on one of the tower balconies, having landed flat on her face, and staring at the boots of an irate DoomKnight.

“…Would you believe me if I said this was an accident?”

“No,” said Sepulchure flatly.

“Oh,” Luna embedded the tip of one of her daggers in the ground and used it to pull herself up enough that she could actually see Sepulchure, rather than just his feet. “Well that doesn’t make things easier for me.”

“Shame.”

“Yeah, you should be! And I’ll be right with you, but first I’m gonna…” The dizziness from her literal crash landing finally caught up with her and she unceremoniously slumped back onto the floor, unconscious.

Sepulchure tutted as he looked down at the passed out hero, Drakath sidling up from where he had been lurking behind him. “My lord? What should we do with her?”

“She’s no threat to us in this condition…but she can be useful. Remove her weapons, lock her in one of the cells, and alert me when she regains consciousness.”

“Yes my lord,” Drakath bowed, motioning two skeleton minions forwards to grab Luna’s arms and drag her off in the direction of the cells before grabbing her daggers off the floor and following suit. Sepulchure watched the ex-Prince and minions disappear with their new prisoner before striding forwards to stare down at Popsprocket.

Somewhere down there was the Energy Orb, prime for the taking, and his job had just been made much easier with capturing Luna. While he was not permitted to personally extinguish the candle of hope she represented (and there were few of those left; such as the hero, the Blue Mage, the paladin in Doomwood, and then there was the matter of something…new that had recently cropped up in Sunbreeze Grove), he could at least contain her.

He would bring war to Popsprocket and once he claimed all the Orbs, nowhere on Lore would be able to stand against the Darkness.

****

Luna didn’t know exactly how long she was unconscious for, but what she did know was that when she eventually came to, the first thing in her line of sight was bars. “What…? Awwww.” Hauling her aching body up so she was sat on her heels, she examined the shackles clasped around her wrists and ankles with a scowl. “Note to self: do not bring any baked goods to Popsprocket in the near future as revenge. Now how am I going to get out of here? And I still need to attach the Magic Eye to a flying eyeball so we can find out what Sepulchure’s plans are…”

Glaring at the bars of the cell as if that would magically make them disappear (hey, weirder things had happened in Lore, usually when Cysero was involved), she eventually sighed and called out on the off-chance someone would hear her. “Hello? Can you come and set me free and give me my weapons back? I promise I won’t tell Artix where you are if you do!” Despite her very persuasive argument, nobody came to release her and so Luna huffed another sigh and went back to examining the shackles. “I could get free of these, but I really need my weapons to do so. Damn you Sepulchure, why did you have to be so thorough…?”

From outside there was a sudden clatter followed by muffled curses. “Oh for… Who just leaves weapons lying around?!”

How fortuitous (ooh, big words Luna very nice). “Hello? I think those may be mine!”

The door creaked open and a woman who looked to be in her early twenties with short black hair poked her head round. “Well why did you…oh god, I don’t get paid enough to deal with this.”

“Yeah, I was trying to get into the flying eye roosts,” Luna admitted sheepishly. “But Yix and Pachelbel mustn’t have gotten the angle quite right on the cannon because Sepulchure caught me.”

“You got shot out of a cannon?” the woman raised her eyebrow incredulously.

“I did say it was a bad idea!” Luna protested. “But while you’re here, any chance you could help me get out?”

The woman pulled a face. “That’s not really my style…but then again, it would really piss off Doomy McDoomface which is my style… So let’s compromise.” Tossing one of Luna’s daggers in her hand, she angled it and threw it towards the hero. The weapon slid through the bars and came to rest by her feet.

“Thanks!” Luna picked it up, adjusted her grip on it and began using the blade to pick the locks on the shackles. “Good thing I’ve had a lot of experience picking locks! Now I need to get out of this cell and find my way to the flying eye roosts.” The shackles eventually fell away from her wrists and ankles and she began working on the lock on the cell door. “So I know we’ve only just met, but you know what they say; the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Any chance you know how to get to the roosts at the top of the castle without being spotted? It’ll really annoy Sepulchure.”

“Well when you put it like that…” the woman smirked. “Sure, why not. I know my way around this place.”

“Thanks again!” Luna grinned as the lock gave a click and pushed the door open. “I have a serious bone to pick – no pun intended – with Sepulchure, but fighting him is not really a viable option…”

“So rob him.”

“Pardon?!”

“Doesn’t have to be anything big,” the woman shrugged as she led Luna out of the dungeon. “The guy’s got loads of rugs and banners and stuff that he won’t even notice are gone, but it gives you the feeling of satisfaction.”

“I…” Luna bit her lip, bending down to collect her weapons that had very kindly been left just outside the door. “Usually my morals would be against it, but this is Sepulchure we’re talking about… Is that why you’re here? To rob him, I mean.”

“Nah,” the woman waved her hand dismissively. “I came here to grab something that I accidentally left behind when I bailed from this place.”

“So you haven’t robbed him?”

“I will neither confirm nor deny that,” the woman bared her slightly pointed teeth in a grin. “Got all your weapons? Ready for some sneaking?”

“As ready as I’ll ever be for sneaking around my arch enemy’s lair,” Luna grinned, slotting the last of her knives into place. “So obviously we want to avoid Sepulchure at all costs, and preferably his undead minions, although a lot of them will be down in Popsprocket. Drakath I can take in a fight. Also we need to be careful that the dracolich, Fluffy, doesn’t spot us.”

“I don’t think that’ll be a problem.”

“Why not?” Luna frowned as the two of them set off, the woman leading her through the corridors. “A dracolich has the same senses as a dragon, even though they’re undead, and Fluffy is kinda evil so…”

“Uh, rude,” the woman scowled. “Kinda evil? I’m helping you get out of here, aren’t I?”

“Wait…” Luna stopped in her tracks and stared at the other woman. “You’re Fluffy?”

“I would say ‘in the flesh’,” Fluffy smirked. “But I’m a dracolich so that doesn’t really work.”

Luna’s jaw hung open for several moments and she blinked several times before she could finally produce words again. “You’re Fluffy! The dragon prophesied to save the world! Shadow’s twin!”

“Hang on,” Fluffy’s eyebrow rose. “So that would make you his Bonded human, aka the Hero of Falconreach.” Her smirk widened. “This is really gonna piss off His Lordship.” She gave a cackle as the two of them set off again. “Speaking of my twin brother though, do you know what time he hatched?”

“Uh no, not exactly. Why?”

“Damn, I was hoping for confirmation that I was the older twin. That’s what I’ve been telling the others at least, even though Shadow and I have only properly met once.”

“Yeah…back on Sho’Nuff,” Luna scowled and pointed at Fluffy. “You beat us in a fight!”

“What can I say; I’m awesome,” the dracolich grinned. “But apparently the World Saviour and World Destroyer have to be kept apart. At least that’s the tradition.”

“That’s…sad,” Luna frowned. “It can’t have been fun growing up in a place like this.”

“Oh it wasn’t,” Fluffy replied cheerfully. “It was ridiculously boring. That’s why I left.”

Luna opened her mouth to reply when Fluffy grabbed her and pulled her into a nearby alcove as a trio of undead walked past.

“Are they on patrol?” Luna whispered.

“Possibly, or they’re going to check on what they think is their prisoner,” Fluffy replied quietly. “We’ll need to move quicker.”

Luna nodded and once the undead had passed completely out of sight, the two of them darted out of the alcove and up several more corridors, every so often having to hide when undead soldiers looked to be heading their way (although as Luna suspected, it seemed the majority of them were awaiting deployment to Popsprocket; even more reason why they needed to find out what Sepulchure was planning), until Fluffy brought them to a sudden halt.

“Everything alright?” Luna asked anxiously, readying her daggers.

“Remember what I said about the rugs?” Fluffy answered, indicating the floor. There were no less than six rugs, all displaying the helm of the DoomKnights, with numerous banners with the same insignia along the walls.

“He has so many!” Luna rolled her eyes. “You know what? You were right.”

“I often am.”

“This is revenge for locking me up!” Luna declared, grabbing the nearest rug and rolling it up so she could put it in her backpack (hey, if it could fit all her weapons in it, it could definitely fit a rug). “Take that Sepulchure! You may not notice it’s gone, but I’m putting this is my house as a reminder! This feels good!”

“Told ya,” Fluffy smirked. “And we’re not too far from the flying eye roosts.”

“Thanks Fluffy,” Luna replied as the two set off again. “This may have been unexpected, but I am grateful that you helped me.”

“I’m nice like that. Plus the roosts give a good vantage point for me to take off without being spotted.”

“Same here. Yix and Pachelbel gave me a parachute so I could get out safely. Where will you go after this?”

“Back to our lair. The other nine are waiting for me.”

“That’s nice that you have company.”

“We dragons can be surprisingly social,” Fluffy replied, pushing open a door as a ripple of wind ruffled Luna’s curls, indicating that it lead to the outside roosts. “Although usually only with our kind or their Bonded humans.”

“That’s good to hear,” Luna grinned as they made their way out of the corridor. “I do love spending time with Shadow after all, even if he does try and eat the things I’m baking…ah.” She gave a wry grin at the sight of the flying eyeballs hovering in front of them. “Guess I have to fight my way through. It was always going to be too good to be true.”

“Least it’s where you wanted to be, rather than in there.”

“That’s true,” Luna conceded before charging forwards, her natural speed giving her the advantage of quickly dispatching the flying eyeballs with her daggers, with Fluffy following behind her, before skidding to a halt as a truly massive one flapped into view, accompanied by two smaller ones. “Holy mother of eyeballs!”

“What the hell have they been feeding these things?!” Fluffy’s eyebrow shot up.

“Well whatever their diet, it won’t be enough to stop me!” Luna declared, charging forwards and sure enough, the three flying eyeballs were soon lying motionless on the floor. Luna grinned at Fluffy, who responded with her trademark smirk, and rounded the corner where rows of flying eyeballs rested in nests.

“Looks like we lucked out, none of the others woke up,” Luna removed her backpack and quietly rummaged around in it until she came across the contraption Yix had given her. “Now all I have to do is slip this onto one of these guys…and…voila!”

“Uh…” Fluffy blinked several times at the huge ovular camera type device that Luna had attached to one of the sleeping eyes.

“This?” the hero protested. “This is the greatly reduced in size ‘MICRO-magic eye’?” Groaning, she massaged her temples. “Well, too late to complain now. I'm sure that no one will notice.”

“One can only hope,” Fluffy replied dryly.

“Yeah…we’d both better get out of here before we get spotted or one of these eyes wake up.” Luna rubbed the back of her neck as she made her way to the railing and looked down over it.

“Agreed,” Fluffy stretched. “It was an interesting scenario to meet you in, Hero of Falconreach. Tell ‘Nelda I say hi.”

“Oh, uh, sure thing,” Luna lifted her hand in farewell before taking a deep breath. “Well, time to see if gnomish parachutes work better than their cannons do.”

“You let me know how it goes,” Fluffy smirked, leaping off the railing as two skeletal wings shimmered into being behind her and gave a powerful beat, sending her soaring through the air.

Below the Flying Fortress came an answering wail. “THEY DON’T WORK ANY BETTER!”

****

“We had her, Drakath!” Sepulchure snarled as he stalked down the corridors, Drakath scurrying behind him. “We had her locked up and she still managed to escape!”

“I’m so sorry, my lord!” Drakath grovelled. “The minions must have forgotten to lock the door, or the hero had a hidden weapon on her, or she was helped, or –!”

“That last suggestion is impossible,” Sepulchure snapped. “But it matters not. While keeping Luna here would have ensured our plans could be carried out without her interference, and she would have made a valuable hostage if needed, things can still proceed as intended. The hero was not a major concern before we captured her, and she’s not a major concern now she’s escaped.”

“No, my lord.”

“Have the fortress searched regardless, to see that she didn’t leave anything behind.”

“Yes my lord,” Drakath bowed and scuttled away.

Sepulchure watched him go and heaved an irritated sigh. Drakath was an annoyance, even more so than Luna, but he had his uses, such as his ranking among the Darkwolf Bandits that could be used to persuade them to attack Oaklore Keep, keeping the Knights busy and depriving Popsprocket of allies. Besides, the ex-Prince was far too terrified of Sepulchure to even consider betraying him. While Drakath was conducting his search, he could retire to his throne room or one of the balconies and plot his next move but while he was here…

Sepulchure highly doubted that Luna would have left anything in the treasury – she didn’t know where it was and there should have been no way for her to get in, but who knew what kind of tech the gnomes had equipped her with – so there was no harm in checking. A concentrated blast of Darkness sent the stone door, disguised as part of the wall, shuddering open and Sepulchure stepped through only to stop dead in his tracks at a horrifically familiar sight. Luna had not left anything in the treasury.

In fact, there was nothing in there at all.

The resulting howl of rage could be heard all over Greenguard.

Sepulchure, to Drakath: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

DF “Writing” Meme Titles

Hi, so the DF “Writing” Meme got closed off because of tumblr’s new rules so I complied a list of the work titles. Now, I do have access to the actual fics but it would be in bad taste for me to repost them unless I have written them or have express permission to.

A lot of good work was sent to the DF “Writing” Meme Blog and it would be a waste to let them collect dust.

Some Tykath Talk

How about I talk about Tykath for a bit when I want to talk about it all the time?

In relation to the previous talk about Drakath, I believe that he would see many supernatural creatures as an infection festering in his Kingdom. Many of them have slighted him in some way. The lich Sek Duat has been feuding with his family since forever, the Frydae vampires were doing the same, Sepulchure treats him like a dog that’s too stupid to even learn how to sit, and I bet if given the chance the fairies would throw rocks at him for being a prick. Overall, I wouldn’t be surprised if Drakath took it further than only seeing supernatural creatures as a tool, and outright hated all of them.

And Ty, a hero directly opposed to his goals, is obviously supernatural. Her existence is already a curse on him but those superhuman healing abilities, slight glow in her eyes, and something sinister hiding under her gloves gives it all away. Worse, she’s extremely interested in him and he hates being complimented, being saved from his own messes, and listened to intently like she loves to hear him talk. How awful.....................

Tsundereness aside, Drakath’s never been treated this way unless there was an obvious ulterior motive. I believe that there is, going by the fiction of them, that she sees Drakath as an easy target to hunt and play with until the meat ribbons stop moving. It’s just that the Prince doesn’t and can’t see it that way even when it becomes obvious. He needs it; humans aren’t meant to be alone, even the shitty shitty shitty shitty shitty shitty ones. I think Drakath would latch on to something he thought was real like it’s the last drink of water in a desert planet.

Like he’d ever admit that. First, he’d be annoyed that an abomination was slobbering all over him. But wait! Wait wait wait! Let’s say the deal with Sepulchure falls through or that rancid meat sack dares to toss him aside. What’s plan B?

The Hero is well loved by the masses, going out there and leading the masses on like sheep with their “good” deeds. Now, let’s say this Hero favored Drakath and continued to sing his praises. He could hop on this obviously head-over-heels Hero if they manage to beat down Sepulchure, and the idiot peasants would see that Drakath helped them. Perfect! If one plan fails, the other will succeed!

Ty, however, is an actual monster. It was a coincidence that her revenge plots and general hedonistic thirst for blood was targeted at the right beasts. Come the Dark Orb Saga, Ty is doing more and more violent and fearmongering things. Like grinding undead lich’s to a fine dust and letting them exist eternally as souls screaming within their single particles. 

That’s shady, maybe don’t do that. The peasants are going to be scared. Maybe don’t set entire swathes of forests and fields on fire if it means burning the enemy. That’s ruining Drakath’s Kingdom; he wants to rule a country, not ashes. Plus, how is his B plan going to succeed if the peasants open their eyes and see that Ty is an insane sadist? 

Of all things, Drakath turns into a soothing force for Ty, becoming attuned to what his own morals are and where he draws his line. If he slips, he’s going to destroy what he wanted in the first place. 

Then Ty starts to catch feelings (I think), using a gentler hand because the love of the people and her friends have softened the beast. That’s actually great for Drakath, and he’s become soft himself for a happier, more genuine-about-her-feelings Ty. 

Then it comes out that she was a homunculus created from the flesh of many, with either no soul or a cursed unknown thing. Like a grotesquerie queen dressing up like a harmless girl. That makes her want to avoid the people she cares about because her very nature as a monster makes her impossible to love and to be loved.

Drakath’s faced with a dilemma. He hates monsters and Ty refuses to believe that she is anything but one. He also can’t say that Ty is the exception cause she is definitely not, and he’s very aware that he’s already said some things along the line of “yes all vampires are blood sucking leeches deserving of the torch, but not you sir!” to get what he wants before finding any way to rid himself of them when become useless. Thinking that way about Ty genuinely disgusts him to his core.

He doesn’t recant that all supernatural beings are nasty, horrid things. Drakath just lumps humans into the mix.It’s not great, let’s be fair here, but for now this is how he says that yknow, he was wrong to hate all supernatural creatures. He only hates those certain few

With that in mind, Ty is the most human person he’s ever met. Why shouldn’t she want pay back for crimes against her? And obviously, if she’s willing to go so far as to do something as stupid as isolate herself, she’s already far better than the mouth breathers. But don’t do that again.......it bothers him......

For some reason (I hope), that makes Ty feel like she’s walking on clouds.

A Congregation of Sepulchurs

I. From Here Let the folly of human conceites Slip down and beneath The hollowed out branches of societal roses What garden hath thine been bore into What unwanted rib and limb formed you In this, the fields of Human wreckage The crops of meaning, tall and lost No bounties take form from spring Seeds of undone perception Spinning the tapestry wheel of times ceaseless sewing An effort to cease in knowing II. Form & Void Gaze now, at the congregation of a void Empty as elixr bottles, or the apothecary's promises Know now, that we were bore to this world To be filled with dead men's strange antiquitous tongues No air of our own ever filled our own two lungs Heaven retreated to ethers veins Absence of light, no righteous plight Gave meaning to our whispered voices Our follys, our choices Antiquity's eyes seeing mirages of worldly ties We all but despise, the comfort in our pasts sweet lies Enlightened and disguised, we come to find Our own substance, becomes sepulchric in due time. Passing through, reality to reality As Caron took his tumid fees Bells take their toll, chime by chime The stone of a crypt cracked and moaned As this void came to be of two colors Black and white, paradox's only shades and tones III. What the Ether Said Hath the ether spoke of beings perceptions once, if at all? Of gifts, and curses in senses very own regression A dried land of motion, form and void Blankets of blackness, portraying love of a machine Clockwork Orange grove, grinding cogs to earthly coils This badlands of tombs, each one it's own stony cold womb Birthed naught, but pulses, and near sighted eyes Participatory demise, rewards of tangible worthlessness Shattered the columns of our lost kingdoms Our castles, swallowed by a sea of meanings deathbed. Walk softly in the dusk's garden. Here in a twilight kingdom, of life's fading star The cypress grows tall, amongst the crypts of empty men. It's omens forebear a prophecy of nothing even now, no more than it was then Heartbeats cease, upon a murder of crows flight in mass Vitality now, like the crashes of a turbulent sea come to pass Whisper, speak now, if only now. Shaking hands, reach heaven bound To vainly pluck our world's last Golden Bough. IV.  Nietzschian Lullaby God is dead, in short is what we said Evidence washed in the turn of a century Our reasoning lost, buried in sedimentary of concretes impenetrable seal, still stiring in its bed The right hand of every single one of us bathed in divine Red And in terrestrial night, we hear the whispers of life's terrible and tragic fate What if I told you a demon whispered in my ear "the eternal return holds you here"? Is there any glimer of release? Or should we just move in perpetual fear "There will be time, there will be time" "Do I dare? Do I dare?" Disturb this universe. Interlude- Juddeca Shrugged Star of the morning, dying light of a world's last star Lead home the partakers of the hollow host Of bolgia's trodden path, descend into the blind world The fall and undoing of a millenia furled Hath hope been abandoned upon entrance At the utterance of the poets last spoken sentence Ye who enter here, foresaw there will only be fear Fear of motionless gestures, and whispered voices Droughted throats, hoarse from the prayers to the neon and clockwork The impassioned fools spoke on low in rejoicing Minos' gavel never fell so heavy, never undone so many Circles widdened to receive the thespians of this Mad Theater Juddeca, a mecca of treacherous bliss. The lives of men, betrayed with only a single kiss Adams curse enveloped there, vexed unto sacrificial surrendurance to the autumns offerings To Dis' gate we came, dancing in the flames of primeval love No ears turned upword, no law ruled from above The end is nigh, For all on high V. A Flat Circle Let us walk now, with cautionary steps Into the realm of the true trinity The clocks stop ticking, motion seized Only matter and sentience come to be Superimposed, occupying all it's every occupied Rolling through tracks of recital Here, in this ethereal realm Void, Death, and Time rule the kingdom of kingdoms. The world sighed at the lift of deaths lichen fingers. We, his garden, tended by times ripening breath Grow to be the things death hopes to harvest His bounty is matter, his crop of voice and flesh Void spun it's yarn, tapestry of matter Little did Void know, we came to scarn He and his arts of everything and nothing at all Our kinship with this, a chillingly familiar gene deep call And Death and his pet of Time Drawing lines through all lives We've bore witness to the sphere of our world Into ghostly shells, of conscious presumptuous strings Our steps foretold, our words preordained Labor's of whole lives, in vain, stained with the lessons of antiquity Our sphere, crushed by the glimpse of a bird's eyes Keep waking time and time again, into the things we've always been Vishnu has no hold upon this cyclic pace of Time and space Only from eternity can we see, the flat circle that is all we'll ever come to be.

Fandomless OC Galton/619 @forgotten-619—high energy, left due to general hiatus and a giant falling out with my partner, have not returned due to not wanting to see their messages and also being a side blog to spadetail-soulweaver

WOULD GO BACK TO:

Galton/Operative 619, I enjoyed his character concept though would probably remove it entirely from its roots in Dragonfable.  Would also make it its own blog.

Chase Young, though probably just as a general Chase blog rather than a Chase with a gimmick.

Darkrai, though the blog would need a reboot; part of the reason why I left is because everyone had advanced their plot lines and I was lagging behind because I took so long to draw.

WOULD LIKE TO PLAY:

AQW OC, Thalia Rosewater, a noble with aspirations to become a princess, though probably more as a fandomless OC with a lot of verses than a straight AQW OC since there’s not a lot of people in the AE community that I could rp with.

Mirror Drakath from AQW, though probably in conjunction with Thalia since I ship them so hard it’s kind of embarassing.

Miraak from Skyrim I guess, if I can find some neat Dragonborn blogs to bounce off of????

Maybe Primeverse Soundwave????? idk man, there’s not a lot of characters I have an urge to rp, but I really would love to see him interacting with the kids a lot.......

Maybe some of my dnd character concepts if it’s a long time before I can play them....... :3c

Prior to starting his ventures, Rune had never heard of Sepulchure. And it seemed to be a crime to not know of the man, if Sir Vey and Maya were anything to go off of. Of course since traveling the Land of Dragons and efforts in finding the elemental orbs remedied that. Although, simply being known as the undead monstrosity that remained ahead on this hunt wasn’t enough for Rune.

Which led to this outing within the flying fortress. Finding it once made it easy to come get through it again. And skeletons and flying eyes while plentiful weren’t the most vigilant of watchmen. He evaded their sights but also didn’t know where to begin his search. If Sepulchure was who Rune believed he was, then he doubted he would make anything on himself easy to find.

Sticking to the shadows, he chose a random level and decided to peer into each of the areas he could and move up and down from there. Mostly there were necromancers engrossed in their studies; some skeletons chattering amongst themselves; and of course undead roving about. But as Rune searched, he noticed the avoidance of passages that led towards a certain level. One he had yet to check.

Rune ascended the passageway...and there was silence. As if this area was isolated from the bustle of the fortress. It was strange...as was the rest of the surroundings. The colors were more muted than before and even the imagery that made outsiders fear the dark diminished compared to before. The ranger heard a sound echo through the halls...was that...laughter...? It seemed too high, too pure to be the cackles of some student...

However getting any closer towards the sound, Rune knew that he wasn’t alone on this level. He cursed his luck as he hid before the presence entered the hallway.

I think it’s terrifying how much I ship in DF but as I tell everyone, I can ship just about anything if you give me some basis for it (fanart and fanfic only expedite the process). I was trying to answer someone’s question but suddenly was like well fuck when trying to think of ships to list:

Canon/Canon:

Hero/Anyone - let’s face it, everyone has some strong feeling for the Hero 

Serepulchure (Serenity/Sepulchure) - you know who you are that started this madness. I have answered far too many ship asks and have made TWO lovechildren to NOT ship it by now

Elysia/Nythera - After Rise of the Dragon Mage, how can I NOT? Like all the dragons are their babes. And I love bad/good dynamic, can you blame me?

Zhothera (Nythera/Zhoom) - I only answered ONE ship ask but because I actually like think out dynamics when writing those, guess what? Kinda ship it. Mainly because they are a ship that no one seems to know is a thing until you see them do something like hold hands or kiss.

Warlic/Xan/Jaania - Hilariously, I don’t like Warlic nor Jaania but I think their dynamic with Xan is so great. Also, I love Xan so much so if they make him happy, let him have them.

Galanoth/Ikea - You know, Gal with the furniture shopkeeper. You know who you are. But it’s not bad? I mean I see her as being a really sweet but at the same time able to rough it.

Symone/Hero/Valencia - Look, I have weakness for femme fatales. The three of them together? Totally could take on the world. Although for me, most times it’s mainly the Hero dating Symone and Valencia. If they could talk and work out their problems, maybe Symone and Valencia could be something else other than rival/enemy status? On the other hand....

Mazurek/Hero/Valencia - This is mainly with a rogue feminine Hero in mind as they are a trio of thieves. And ones that end up having a good time no matter where they go. This may or may not have bloomed because of a heist AU I thought of...

Ash/Aria - Only when they are older! I don’t know, I have a slight thing for the childhood friends that become something else. And based off Book 3, I feel like Ash has picked up some things from Yulgar.

Ash/Princess of Light - I kinda like their dynamics but actually got weirded out a little by the amnesia part thrown in. Like is this just for a fresh start or??? It’s a knight and princess dynamic, which is normally pretty cool to me.

White Flag (Mazurek/Tomix) - I feel like if they had more time, it could’ve been an interesting time. Like, I highly doubt that they would’ve stayed together long-term but I feel like they could’ve been a good relationship for as long as they lasted. And now, it kinda is just a tale of what could’ve been.

Burnt Toast (Serenity/Xan) - Total crack ship but hey, it could’ve been nice. I mean, in the long term, Xan wasn’t even the WORST we have in terms in villains. And he has to see Serenity some time as he gets her bread.

Vilmor/Circe - What do you mean you can’t have a ship with bitter enemies? I don’t know, how I saw them running off each other reminded me of phantom thieves and the dogged detective. Soooo that just ends up being kinda cool. Doesn’t help there’s a criminal AU that passed my mind with them.

Lim/Cysero (and sometimes Warlic) - It’s science versus magic. That fight in itself is great. And I never actually feel any animosity from Cysero when it came to the Clashening. Like he legitimately felt like he was adding to Lim’s efforts. And I don’t ever feel any genuine hate from Lim either, he just is like that ‘what, HOW.’

Thursday/Raven - GO SAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND! One of the best things to happen in Book 3. Because Raven didn’t care. She was so damn determined to keep Thursday safe no matter what. And Thursday didn’t want Raven hurt. Ah, my heart. 

OC/Canon:

Alegis (Alexa/Aegis) - But he’s the light to her darkness! How can you do any better than that? I’m so sad that it couldn’t but RPed but I feel like some of the writings done for them were great. 

Ryunn/Tomix - Who hasn’t by now? I mean, just look at them! 

Tykath (Ty/Drakath) - *maniacal laughter* After x chapters of Double Edged, knowing about their family life and kids, and encouraging the mention of them in RP? I think I ship it. 

Galris (Daeris/Galanoth) - See, here’s the thing, I actually know very little about it personally. Everything I know is from ship asks and from once being told how Gal is cursed to fall for her. Love across lifetimes/dimensions? Sign me the fuck up.  

Amalencia (Amal/Valencia) - Pretty much the only one from my blog that actually happened. It is a rival to friends situation and Valencia opened his eyes to the world. But then it becomes sad as Amal is canonically dead by present DF and Valencia never did know what happened to him.
