Rating: Mature Relationships: Julien Davinos/Aranessa Royce, Julien Davinos & Aranessa Royce, you can interpret it a few different ways  Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Pre-Canon, Character Study, Pining, Intrusive Thoughts, Thjazi Fang Haunts the Narrative, Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Implied/Referenced Sex, Voyeurism, Masturbation, some mild dubcon fantasies, Hurt/Comfort, (not for julien though. lmao), local man learns what yearning is and has a truly terrible time, kind of the epitome of “I have a crush on my boss and I’m being so brave about it”, for once in her life aranessa royce gets to have fun, and julien gets to suffer about it, as he should. 

It is not your place to comment on the decisions of House Royce.

Raimond Davinos’s voice is unwelcome at the best of times. Here, now, in the midst of chattering people and overcrowded sidewalks, it infuriates Julien enough that he wants to scream. He grits his teeth against the impulse and keeps moving forward, gravitating towards the central courtyards of the Fray. He has a mission. He cannot afford distractions or indulgence.

Finding a single person in the midst of the Mason’s Fest is roughly akin to finding a needle in a haystack. But he can do it. He will find Aranessa - who is undoubtedly lost, afraid, and confused - and he will make sure she is escorted safely home.

It is his duty, after all. It is the only duty he has ever longed for. The only duty he has ever known. 

To sidestep scandalous hits to her reputation, Julien goes to fetch Aranessa from the party she’s attending.

It proves…challenging. In more ways than one.

The doors to Faerie have closed. Step by step, wound by wound, we are made less. I will not have it.

absolutely adore these photos.

all credits here

we got so lucky with this part of the shoot as the main rotunda area had cleared out during a very busy day so we got to shoot in there without fear of disturbing too many people. Christa our photographer was fantastic about removing people from the photos as well so truly feels like we're in our own little world.

I WANT TO WRITE MY STORIES!!!!!!!!!!!! -> continues doing literally Anything Else besides writing

[world-enough-and-timerogue]

my fav relationship ship dynamic is where it doesn't matter if you call it platonic or romantic or queerplatonic because they always act the same in every type of relationship. and the way they act? fucking weird.

[cooliogirl101]

Honestly, ever since becoming a fanfic writer myself I’ve become like 500% more understanding and patient about other authors’ update schedules. An author takes 6+ months to post their next chapter? Yeah, totally get that real life can get in the way. An author abandons a fic? Disappointing, but it happens- sometimes inspiration for a story just dies. An author apologizes about taking so long to post a 10k word chapter? Dude, that’s like 18-20 pages on Word single-spaced. It takes me at least a week to write an essay for school a quarter the length of that, and that’s with a deadline. 

It’s probably the most important thing writing fanfic has taught me, tbh. How to fully appreciate the hard work someone else has put into their story. How important the role of the audience is to an author. And that no matter what, you are never entitled to demand more of a story that you are getting for free.

writing the first half of a fic: yaaaay! wooo!!! 🌈💝 fun ideas 😊💖✨️~

writing the second half of a fic: I am in a fight with god himself and he is winning

[liarsblade]

Aranessa saying that in another life her & Thaisha would be sisters and they would see each other every day and their children would play together actually makes me feel like I'm going to burst into tears every time I think about it

Sometimes, fanfiction is carefully plotted out stories, with plot points and call backs and themes that all tie it up in a meaningful and exciting way.

And sometimes fanfiction is, ‘Watch me do a fucking KICK FLIP off this cool sentence!! Also here's some sex'

Both are beautiful forms of writing.

[teh-nos]

this fic is so good i hope i write it

[starpeace]

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain

[starpeace]

if it helps i also wish there was a fic

[humanbeanisnotamused]

i kind of feel our current trajectory is like.

[humanbeanisnotamused]

i cannot stop thinking about the potential future interaction of like.

thaisha, in the Extremely Calm Voice of a mom who is Not Overreacting: hal?

hal, in the Very Casual Voice of a dad who is Not In Trouble: hm?

thaisha: is that a pariah blade?

hal, sooo casual: hm?

thaisha: in our beautiful, talented daughter's hand. is that a pariah blade.

when will my husband (aranessa royce) return from war (brennan needing to beat dmpc allegations)

[nepofledgling]

no one can accuse me of AI because I’m hopelessly addicted to posting WIPs and then taking five weeks to actually share the finished product because I’m not only an attention seeker but also a procrastinator

[bloodstainedgauntlet]

my knight you have to live you have to get up you have to put your hand over your wound and hold it there. you have to keep walking and walking and walking because you cannot lay down yet, it’s not time. wipe the blood off your breastplate and look up into the sun. lean on your sword if you need to. lift one foot after another. get up. get up. this would be a pitiful grave.

[safety-data-sheet]

“This would be a pitiful grave” is now my new go-to when I’m sad or upset. God that’s fire
