Welcome to Fateheart: a Starless Seaquel blog

'Fateheart: A Starless Seaquel' is my fan-sequel to Erin Morgenstern's 'The Starless Sea'. You can read it here on Ao3. This blog is building upon both books as part of a unified canon - and I will post about them here as if they are a continuum of the same world.

I already have a blog devoted to Zachary and Dorian (link below), but I wanted a place to collect things which resonate with the imagery and world of Fateheart more widely. So here you will find posts which remind me of the new Harbour, poetry which contains flashes of the world beneath the world, excerpts of Fateheart itself, many, many references to both books, and occasionally headcannons which build upon the story told in Fateheart. I will attempt to avoid spoilers, but can't promise anything.

If you have not read Fateheart but you have read The Starless Sea, some of the leaps might seem strange - but I implore you to give Fateheart a chance if you're curious. If you have not read The Starless Sea either, then really what are you doing here - go treat yourself to the most magnificent novel you'll read this Tuesday.

Here's to seeking, and to finding, and to stories which yield new life in the hands of the people who love them.

"Minsc," Astarion growled, his voice dripping with disdain, "Do you seriously mean to tell me that you came down to the Underdark with not a single health potion on you?"

Minsc smiled. "Why would Minsc need to bring a health potion when he is so strong, my friend?"

🌸The Flower Festival 🌸

Chapter II

The Harbor

After failing to avoid the temptation of delicious street foods, we came upon the harbor armed with sticks of fried, seasoned, fish and bags of caramelized candies. The warm midday sunshine perfectly countered the cool ocean winds.

Spotting something beneath the water, I rushed to the wooden dock’s edge, peering far as I could to admire the aquatic creature that was carefully poking its head above the surface. Its large beady eyes seemed to stare directly at the fish in my hands while its frill like flippers treaded to keep it afloat.

“Here! Hold this!,” I exclaimed, quickly tossing my snacks into Lumine’s hands and whipping out my journal and pen to record the creature.

Hands overflowing, some of the fish accidentally slipped into the water when Lumine leaned over the edge to admire the creature too, snatched up not a second later by the fanciful, rotund beast, “You know Aether, an earlier warning would be nice.”

“Mhmm,” I automatically responded as I focused on getting the frills just right in my drawing.

As bubbles surfaced, a second, tinier one appeared chirping alongside what seemed like the parent. It swam excitedly in circles. Lumine had to drag me away with tears filling my eyes before I could grab back the rest of my fish to throw to them.

As the festival went on, sailors yelled back and forth loading and unloading their large wooden ships. A group of children pointed excitedly at a particularly well-decorated, red-wooden ship pulling into the harbor with sails larger than any of the others. The crew onboard was bellowing a sea shanty together with their voices growing louder the closer they came, echoing off the nearby hills. I looked over to Lumine who was closing her eyes, enjoying the sounds of the harbor’s harmonic cacophony. I closed my eyes to do the same.

Welcome to Fateheart: The Extended Canon

I have now written enough Starless Sea mini-fics (all set in or around the same timeline as Fateheart: A Starless Seaquel) that they warrant having their own collected series - so here is the link to that.

None of these have substantially character-altering plot, but some of them are fun, some of them are lovely, and some of them might even venture into the territory of being well-written! (Looking at you, Asset of Loneliness, decidedly not looking at you, Hockey Kids)

I initially was just going to post extra bits of writing as headcanons on this blog, but then the headcanons I was jotting down in my notes app became full scenes, too big to just dump on tumblr, and then those scenes started to draw themselves together into stories. So now they're up on Ao3.

I am also working on two much longer stories - both Starless Sea fanfictions, both continuations of the Fateheart timeline - though neither will come close to Fateheart itself - in significance, quality, or length. But in the meantime I will post links to any Zachary/Dorian and Kat content on this blog, and they will appear on my Ao3 account in this collection.

If you're a fan of Erin Morgenstern's The Starless Sea and you're encountering this post, this blog, or these fanfics cold, then may I first point you towards the main fic itself:

Fateheart: A Starless Seaquel

(having said that none of the future stories will hold a candle to Fateheart, watch out for The Lotus Flowers. If I can get the damn thing where I want it, it will blow Fateheart out of the water. possibly.)

And if I never post anything again, just know it is because I have been forcibly subsumed into an amorphous, sentient dust-cloud in the Middle East, and not because I have decided to stop writing The Starless Sea fanfiction. Because that's not going to happen. Apparently ever.
