A late Illario/Lucanis entry for @dafuckedupshipsweek, clocking in at over 13,000 words:

"What's the matter, cousin?" Illario said, his voice too hoarse to properly turn it into a purr. "You've already told me my place is on my knees in front of you. If that's what you want, you only have to ask." Lucanis is the only person with the authority to kill him, the only one who will still touch him, and the only person alive worth caring about. Illario just needs to convince Lucanis that he's worth keeping around. Or, Illario tries to help. He cares less about the innocent lives at stake than about Lucanis's emotional well-being, which is only half the reason it goes poorly.

[mohntilyet]

imagine being illario and finally finding the resolve to kill your cousin right. you seduce and fuck a blood mage venatori magister to get her to do this for you. you figure you’ll eventually kill her once you are first talon, tie up the loose end and make it look good for you. a vengeance story! except when your cousin’s body shows up your grandma retreats into herself presumably out of grief and you’re like jesus christ he’s a corpse and still the favorite. at this point you start feeling some regret and at the wake you’re beside yourself. it helps to be really feeling some of that to fool everyone else. but months pass and your grandma still isn’t even discussing the inheritance and you have to be normal because you don’t want to incriminate yourself. and then a year later some random guy (worse if its a de riva tbh) shows up saying they need your cousin to kill an elven god (what.) and he’s the only one who could (insulting). and its at this point your grandma is like “lucanis died… but he is not dead!”. record scratch freezeframe. while you juggle with the fact that the freak woman you fucked specifically to get her to kill your cousin didn’t even kill your cousin AND your grandma didn’t bother telling you (for good reason ofc but she doesn’t know that), you have to lead these assholes to go save him and unravel your hard work. so plan b. you kidnap your grandma and push your (now possessed) cousin away (and then get mad when he actually walks away. because you’re like this). and when your cousin comes dangerously close to figuring out what’s happened with you and the magister, you kill the magister. you ally with those elven gods and venatori (you aren’t sure how you’re going to get out of this one but it’s fine. that’s a hill for future illario) to make sure you have enough backing to stand up against the other houses if they challenge you becoming first talon. you continue to gaslight your cousin into staying away, because if there is one thing you can count on, it’s his literal inner demons and total lack of a support group, you’re certain he’ll fuck it up by himself. you know this because his support group used to be your grandma (dubious) and yourself (lol). you’re almost home free. and caterina will definitely acknowledge you as a player on the board. which isn’t important but it would be nice, right. BUT THEN IT TURNS OUT. YOUR COUSIN HAS RECENTLY MADE 7 FRIENDS. one of whom can speak to the fucking dead because of course he can. and then some of those friends show up to publicly humiliate you at the dinner party that should have been YOUR crowning moment. your grandma ALSO shows up to tell everyone you have gathered that your cousin is first talon. your cousin gapes at her because he doesn’t actually even want it so it’s kind of awkward for everyone. and then when you’re sure he’s about to ask viago de riva to poison you to death, he actually tells him just to take you away. because OF COURSE he’s being the bigger person. anyways the point is i’m surprised illario just lets himself be taken away because if i were him i would have started biting people and then bombed the villa

For the OC doodle asks, this one feels very appropriate — ☠

I imagine funeral being a very important event. And I bet there are just plenty of different outfits a Mourn Watcher can wear, depending of their role in the ceremony.

I think this is Lydia in just a traditional mourning fit. The dress or anything worn underneath is not as important as the mask and the veil - those are the insignia of her being part of the Watch.

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

After the events in Arlathan Forest, Marisol de Riva reels from her close encounter with Elgar'nan. Memories of that experience linger and torment, prickling over into uneasy dreams and questionable realities. Marisol learns all too quickly that their encounter is not over... but that she is not helpless to the whims of the Evanuris.

a gift for the exemplary @thimblings!! it was such a treat to get to write this wicked little adventure for marisol, who i am sure would love to... not ever run into elgar'nan in this way again.

this truly was so fun to write, and i am so honored to have the opportunity to tell this story for solina!!

There's a snippet below, but read the whole fic HERE on AO3!

The Lighthouse sheltered quiet in every corner. Marisol felt the resounding echo of her presence in it, as though it had all gone hushed. Like some beast lying in wait or a prey animal, terrified to shift or breathe in the presence of a predator, not wanting to be found, to be caught, to be devoured. Even her breath felt too loud. Each slow inhale to fill her lungs, then bursting exhale that seemed to rattle the very ribs that held her together… it made her wish she could stop. She could stop. She could stop.

The thoughts all blurred together and, now, now recognizing the discomfort of this tumbling cascade, Marisol lifted her hands to press the heels of her palms to her eyes. If she could just tune out a little input, perhaps she could solve the perplexity that plucked at her. Like feathers being torn away, she had to fight to keep her thoughts aligned.

"Think." That was her own voice (she was mostly sure).

She thought: Blood lotus, when appropriately distilled, produced a powerful hallucinogenic that affected all of the senses. One drop to dizzy. Two drops to disorient. Three drops to disable. Four drops… four drops of blood (lotus) running down her cheek.
