Just thinking about Riven is one of the few people—if not, the only person—who understands her and her feelings towards her own powers.
Just thinking about next season revolving around her wearing the runic limiters so most of the time she’s with him, she doesn’t actually use or have her powers.
Just thinking about Riven getting hurt and being in so much pain that Musa doesn’t think twice about reaching for him and trying to take his pain away.
Just thinking about Riven trying to pull away because he knows how she feels about using her powers and the trauma she has from feeling her mother dying and he doesn’t want her to experience something like that again, doesn’t want her to force herself to live through something like that again.
Just thinking about how Musa doesn’t let him pull away because she wants to feel his emotions, she wants to feel his pain because it means he’s still alive and she isn’t giving up on him because she needs him to survive.
JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW FUCKING FERAL THESE TWO MAKE ME🥹
sorry i’m thinking about Saul’s house again thinking about that bookshelf, how much of those were his father’s books, thinking about young Sky listening to electro-otherworld-punk bands, thinking about Sky riding horses through the woods, thinking about Saul on Sky’s tenth birthday giving him a guitar instead of a shotgun, thinking about him putting away the alcohol so he could give Sky the childhood the Burned Ones stole from him and then actually giving it to him, thinking about how Aster Dell could never be worth it but maybe some of it was because it gave Sky a peaceful childhood, thinking about thinking about
I had so much fun working on this with the wonderful Andylind-Queen @shadowofnight ! The process for me definitely had its ups and downs and I was this close to scrapping the entire thing before seeing sense. And now we present an amazing Andylind fic just in time for Andylind August and not at all late for RBB!
I would LOVE to see Musa and Riven talking about her mother.
She mentioned her only once because Terra emotionally forced her to. She didn’t even try to be open about it with Sam, saying “it’s just family stuff”.
It’s clear that this topic of conversation is extremely difficult for Musa, and tbh I think it also can be a source of her attitude towards her powers.
According to the Brian’s newest interview, if we have another season, Musa will explore her fairy nature (but she’ll always be a specialist from now). Just imagine Musa being on this journey with Riven by her side.
PLEASE ITS ALL I WANT AND NEED
I know we have no real canon proof of it, but I do love the wee headcanon that Riven comes a very well off family from Eraklyon who he shares a difficult relationship with
The idea of both Riven and Musa opening up to each other about their families? Being that openly vulnerable with one another? Understanding each other’s problems? I. NEED. IT. SO. BAD.
And that idea that Riven helps her accept her powers and adapt them into her specialist training? I may just scream
