my beautiful stranger (TOH Library AU) pt. 1
AU: 3.ii)Â I work in the library and Iâm a little concerned for your health bc you never stop studying (from this list)
requested by @grassberry639
Iâll make a part 2 if anyone wants it, but if not, then this was at least a fun writing exercise :)))
Write a story including a set of three things
1. a grey sky, a farm, a broken fenceÂ
2. a magical item, a middle schooler, a pawn shopÂ
3. a letter without a return address, a stockbroker with a dark secret, a curse of a family who really deserves itÂ
4. two opposing organized crime families, a silver coin, a paintingÂ
5. a garden, a talking bird, a shattered windowÂ
6. an ill parent, an after school job, a suspicious personÂ
7. a shopping mall, time travel, bells chimingÂ
8. a warm fire, a traveler seeking shelter for the night, a deal to be settled in bloodÂ
9. reincarnation, a spell that goes wrong, a smashed vaseÂ
10. footprints, fog, a busÂ
It was a magical moment, standing there under the clouds, seeing the rain fall but not falling victim to its torrent. Callum shook out his singed, dusty brown hair and leaned against the fence behind him. A long, drawn out sigh passed through his lips and he slumped to the ground. It was a magical sight. It could almost distract him from the ache of his limbs and the shortness of his breath. It could almost let him forget the pounding of feet and the loudness and the screams echoing in his ears.
The rain grew closer. Callum could hear it growing louder by the second, the endless pit pat pit pat filling his ears and drowning out all other sounds. Callum wished it would come to him. That a cloud would hover over his head and rain would fall and he could have a good cry. But it wouldnât. It never had before. Even the clouds avoided him like the plague.
Just a tiny break. A moment of relaxation. Thatâs all Callum asked for. It was all he prayed for- for one second not spent in fear and surrounded in lies. He had never understood the phrase âthe calm before the stormâ, because in his short life, all he had ever been was stuck in the midst of a raging hurricane.
There had been another incident today. It was easier when it was strangers, passerby on the street. Of course he had still written them get well soon cards and visited in the hospital. Most of them had forbade him from entering the room. And Callum didnât blame them.
With family, it was different. They looked at him like he was some kind of monster- and he was. They had looked at him with fear in their eyes and somehow that fear was worse than a thousand cuts. Worse than all the sleepless nights, the writing agony that prevented him from living in normal society. His own mother looked at him in fear. His own father glared at him in outrage. Father had never liked him much anyways.
Those he could handle. He had never been particularly close with either of them. Julia, on the other hand. Julia was his baby sister. She had always supported him. She had never looked at him differently after he was Changed. Now she might never look at him again. She might never even open her eyes again. That look- that final look of betrayal- would haunt Callum for the rest of his days.
There used to be animals living on his farm. They had all ran off or been burned. Fire was a funny thing. It should mean family and home, gathering at the hearth and drinking in one anotherâs presence. Callum had learned early on that fire really meant destruction.
The rain was all around him now, but it couldnât touch him. It fell all around him, and he breathed in, inhaling the calming scent. He stuck his hand out in a vain attempt to touch it, to feel cool, wet again. To feel again. The clouds overhead parted in his wake.
Callum lifted his head to the sky. It was bleak and gray, boring. Bland. Oh, how Callum wished to be like the gray sky, to be like the mindless rain, to be the animals who ran away. He didnât want to be afraid, afraid of himself, who he had become, what he could do; what he had done already.
He slammed his fist on the ground in frustration. The pavement melted beneath his fist and the fence behind him started to smoulder. A long crack ran up the length of the fence, and it split clean down the center, falling apart behind him. Callum hopped up and staggered away, trying not to touch anything. He didnât put his hands in his pockets, instead holding them in front of him like a bomb about to detonate.
It wasnât fair. He had never asked for this, to be âspecialâ; âchosenâ. Callum looked up at the rain, at the gray clouds, the endless sky. He glanced back briefly, towards his home, his family who didnât love him, and his innocent sister, in a coma because of him.
Callum gazed at the sky longingly. Oh, to be a cloud. To be a star. What would it be like to be a star? He didnât know. He wondered if he would find out.
Callum lifted a hand toward the rain, trying to touch it. One last time.
He didnât look down.
He watched the clouds. He watched the gray sky.
Oh, to be a cloud.
To be a raindrop.
Callum smiled softly. To be a star.

AU where instead of Kendra throwing fruit at Ronodin, she walks up and gives him a hug that he desperately needs
Fic writers PLEASE Iâm begging you
âWhat are you doing here?â Kendra demanded, storming up to Ronodin. He smirked at her and quirked an eyebrow.
âOnly what one might expect.â
Kendra took a deep breath and calmed her fury. It wouldnât do any good to let her emotions get the best of her. âWhere is my brother?â
Ronodin frowned and for once he looked like he didnât know the answer. âIâm assuming thatâs why youâre here?â
Kendra looked into his eyes. They were dark and mischievous, twinkling in the brightly lit room. Kendraâs hand twitched and she longed to throw a punch at the dark unicorn who had taken her brother from her and done so much evil. She paused-
âWhy are you like this?â she asked, allowing a little bit of desperation to leak into her voice. She wasnât a super talented actor, and she knew it was dangerous to try and fool a master con artist, but she hoped her anger with him was real enough for him to believe her. She needed him to talk, she needed to know what he knew and anything that could help lead her to Seth.
Love
Theme 2: Love
Fandom: Nevermoor
Description: Morrigan reflects on what Love means to her
Details: Directly post-Nevermoor, before Wundersmith starts
NOTE: This is really really short, Iâm sorry. But I just finished rereading Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow, and before I start to reread book 2, I had to write this, bc our smol little goth bby deserves some happiness.
Introduction
Theme 1: Introduction
Fandom: The Pandoran Novels
Description: Alex meets Danton for the first time.
Details: Set a bit before the series started, while Alex was training at the Academia
NOTE: I havenât found ANY content for this fandom :/ so I decided to write something for it, even though a lot of people havenât read it. In case there is anyone out there who is desperately searching the internet for any content.
100TC
This is the 100 themes challenge, woo! It seems like I do a lot of challenges, but basically the one-shots that I have been writing for this have been too short to post on ao3 or ff.net or wattpad by themselves. SO weâre posting on tumblr. Yay! It will be a variety of different fandoms(whatever I feel like writing on any given day), and I have no set-in-stone posting schedule, but okay. Enjoy.
1 Day Til Cottage Cheese
Day 15: The Final Day
Theme: Legacy
Description: (heroes may fall but) Legends Never Die
QUICK NOTE: I just want to thank every single person who liked or commented on any of the days, you guys gave me motivation to finish this challenge. Of course I will continue posting, just not on as much of a regular schedule. I have a few more ideas I want to flesh out, and a few ideas for longer fics. Also, Iâm sure Iâll have a lot to write about after CotTG comes out. :)
2 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 14:
Theme: No theme, just trying out an AU
Description: The Secret Agency AU That Literally Nobody Asked For
Details: Just trying out this new AU I thought of that wonât leave me alone. Tell me what you think of it. Who knows, if anybody likes it, I might make a full fic out of it. But here are the deets: Tech-savvy Kendra, Weapons-obsessed Seth. Stan and Ruth own several vaults with secret government tech and weapons. Iâll give more information later if anyone wants it, but for now that is pretty much all you need to know. This scene is directly after (modified)book 1.
3 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 13:
Theme: Journal (pt. 3)
Description: The Official Travel Log and Records of Seth Michael Sorenson, Over The Years
Details: So basically, there are only a few entries, and it should be extremely easy to figure out where on the timeline each of these entries are from. I only did books 1-2 for this one. Iâm not sure I like this format, but this is just how I picture Sethâs journal to be structured.
4 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 12:
Theme: Journal (pt. 2)
Description: Kendra Sorensonâs Private Journal, Over The Years
Details: umm... itâs all set at different points. It should be fairly easy to discern what events are happening at what times, but if not, just message me and Iâll clear it up. For now, it goes from book 1 through the end of book 3. I might make a second part, finishing 4 and 5, or I might make one for Seth. Idk, Iâm just playing with character voices.
5 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 11:
Theme: Journal (pt. 1)
Description: From The Diary of Patton Burgess, on the Subject of Kendra and Seth Sorenson
Details: Basically set after GotSP, in Pattonâs time. Just a diary entry.
6 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 10:
Theme: Unrequited Love(?)
Description: Verl. Thatâs All You Need To Know.
Details: Set whenever. Like, imagine that they waited for 5 more days after Christmas before leaving for Wyrmroost(In book 4) and this happened in those days. ALSO you canât tell me that Warren didnât grow up around Fablehaven and was like Seth and liked to explore and met and befriended the satyrs and thatâs how he knows Verl.
7 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 9:
Theme: Betrayal/Stream of Consciousness
Description: Kendraâs Thoughts on Betrayal
Details: Okay, so this is a little bit different. It is a stream of consciousness exercise I did, but I did it from Kendraâs perspective. (Basically a summary of all the Fablehaven books- Who Will Betray Us This Time?) Itâs set in between book 5 and Dragonwatch 1.
8 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 8:
Theme: Undiscovered Powers
Description: One Power Kendra and Seth Didnât Know They Had
Details: I would assume the Seth one is sometime in book 4, and the Kendra one takes place whenever.
QUICK NOTE: Yes, I am very aware I am behind like, 2 days, Iâm trying, I swear I will get all 15 one-shots up before CotTG comes out.
9 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 7:
Theme: Origins/Beginnings
Description: How Seth Became a Mighty Adventurer
Details: Most of this is set earlier in Sethâs life than Fablehaven.
10 Days Til Cottage Cheese
Day 6:
Theme: no theme this time
Description: Just Doing a Kendra Sickfic
Details: Whenever. Itâs at some time where Seth is trusted to explore on his own(to a reasonable extent), Warren is around, and they are just chilling at Fablehaven.
