Pittacus Lore's series: The Lorien Legacies Novels:

These are the main 7 books referring the present time of the story, also the books that the fandom are most aware of.

Where we have shape shifting animals, secret endangered alien children being hunted for experimentation and death by another species of alien (that are bad), teenagers with cool powers that have cool names, a lot of dead mentors I will never get over, emotional attachment to every character, betrayal, very cool fight scenes, etc.

If you haven’t started yet, I’d like to clarify that the main characters have numbers as names

I am Number Four

The Power of Six

The Rise of Nine

The fall of Five

The Revenge of Seven

The Fate of Ten

United As One

The Lorien Legacies Reborn Novels:

This is a sequel to the original series, focusing more on the human garde/ characters introduced from the "Fate of Ten" - “United as one”

Generation One

Fugitive Six

Return to Zero

*I highly recommend reading the first series before this, because you might have trouble understanding the second or you might get a lot of spoilers

*I wanted to post this because when I started, I searched up the order online (They really have to clearly number their books…) and I accidentally got spoilers, hope this helps someone

*I haven’t actually started reading “Legacies Reborn” because I’m still finishing off “the lost files” and collecting the chronicles - here is the link if you want the guides for those books

Can someone plspls give me the order of the Garde when it comes to their ages, seriously who is the eldest?? *confusion* It’s hard to tell since some act more mature than the others

Ella is def the youngest and #2 is next I think

[aroace-number-eight]

The wiki has a timeline of the series from the chronological beginning all the way to United as One, explaining in detail the order of events and how old each character is!

https://iamnumberfour.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline

According to the chart, from youngest to oldest is:

Ella, Three, Two/John/Nine, Five/Six, Marina/Eight, then One

[fightme-pittacus]

Oh wow this is great! Thanks sm, I didn’t know there was a whole timeline for the whole series. I think this would be good to have as a reference if you’re doing fanart /character charts/ fanfics and want it to be as accurate as possible.

We need more scenes of the Garde training together, so brutally wholesome

(I just enjoy reading how they use their legacies and strategize together, love the interactions)

au where the garde have wings. 

hilde tells one to hide them - “the second they’re seen, we’re caught” - but one doesn’t listen, she never listens. she wears them with pride, big and grand and stretching, and when the mogs catch her they tear them off she thinks “fuck, i kinda had that coming.”

maggie’s are tiny, and fluffy, and easy to hide underneath layers of coats. the mogs don’t bother to get rid of them when they take her body.

three’s are dark, but oily, and when they get to earth his cepan cuts them off.

“we’re living in a hot climate,” he says, as three cries and he himself is close to tears. “i’m sorry, but there’s no way to cover them up. forgive me.”

(three never does, but when his cepan dies he still feels the loss as badly as when he lost the wings.)

john keeps his hidden, has always kept his hidden. later he lets sarah trace the edges, lets her say “they’re beautiful”. he lets sam admire them and six critise how out in the open they are. they move with his feelings, sagging when he’s sad and lifting when he’s happy, and they’re an extension of himself as much his limbs are.

five hates his wings, but doesn’t say so. they’re shitty, anyway, brown and small, even if he’s one of the rare lucky garde who can use his wings to fly. 

after she escapes from the mog prison, six cuts her wings off herself. they’re a liability - they look nice but accomplish nothing, and if she wants to stay hidden then she can’t have two pitch black wings looming over her.

(she misses them, though. misses the way katarina would take care of them and teach her to keep them to herself even during battle.)

(but six is a soldier, and soldiers make tough choices sometimes.)

marina knows she can’t show hers - she’s in a church, they’ll think she’s an angel and that’ll draw attention and that’s the last thing she needs. her wings are smallish, and blend with her skin well enough that, somehow, no one ever notices. 

when hector ricardo’s mother calls her an angel, she is so tempted to show her the wings.

lola waited until they were sleeping to pull out a knife, and the charm only ever worked against mogs and not humans, and eight can’t save her or reynolds or his wing, but he has one and that’s some small comfort.

(when he learns to shapeshift he changes so he has two again, but it’s not the same, never the same. it’s not natural or right and he prefers to shift into looking human than to make it look like he has two wings when he only really has one.)

nine is ever so proud of his wings, their power and size. sandor rolls his eyes with fondness whenever nine goes out with them, but he says “say you’re a cosplayer” - and, miraculously, it works.

ella’s are the smallest of them all, but they’re precious to her. when marina finds out who she is the both of them finally reveal them, and the wave of relief they share is identical. 

idk, just - the garde with wings

Repost if you haven’t started reading Lorien Legacies Reborn yet

⚠️ possible spoilers of United as One

Why don’t I ever see this fandom talking about that scene where Phiri Dun-Ra brutally tortures Four with the same noose made to kill Setrakus ?? With augmented black gooey tentacles jabbed inside him???? So she can use his legacies to murder his comrades and recruits he was supposed to protect????? Like damn that was pretty graphic, I was expecting him to escape sooner

Like she was literally dragging him and forcing him to watch while she turns his legacies b a d

While he was helplessly bleeding and trying to process everything (Damn u Mark)

And the author better apologize for that mini panic I got when Sam appeared in scene I was like oh no pls no

Also Ik we’re supposed to hate Five but I loved him in that scene tbh

John Smith/Four and his Lumen Legacy in a nutshell

[seattlesea]

Man, can you believe the audacity of James Frey? Like, the man killed off John’s girlfriend. Does he put him with Stanley ‘closeted and using flirting as a coping mechanism for my internalized homophobia’ Worthington? No. Does he put him with Adamus ‘definitely gay but putting off my sexuality cause I want to focus on the war’ Sutekh? No. He makes him kiss Marina. Like- BOY they didn’t even talk one-on-one and you think John and Nine weren’t flirting with each other literally the entire time? The audacity of some people-

[fightme-pittacus]

Pft That scene where Four and Marina kissed was sorta stupid because they never had that kind of connection in the previous books and four definitely had more chemistry with other characters, but also some people grieve differently ig (??) maybe they both just wanted some sort of comfort from each other since no one else from the team could relate to having a s/o killed and they had a mini moment because they understood each other’s pain or something.
