So you know that OC Scholomance fic I've been posting and teasing about for the last month? I finally posted the first chapter! Please consider giving it a read and letting me know what you think!

The Loser Alliance - Chapter 1: Poxwalker

Rating: M

Category: F/F

Relationships: Original Female Character/Original Female Character

Characters: Original Characters, Galadriel "El" Higgins, Orion Lake

Additional Tags: Alternative Perspective, Parallel With Canon, Canon Compliant Except When It Isn't, in other words it's going to MOSTLY adhere to canon with only occasional deviation, Hurt/Comfort, Falling In Love, The Scholomance Is Its Own Warning, Time Shenanigans, Bigotry & Prejudice

Summary:

There are many things that can shove a Scholomance student into loser status. Lack of talent, a weak affinity, poor social skills, or any combination of minor things that make one unpalatable to enclavers. In Frieda’s case, it’s the decade of training to kill enclavers. Nearing the end of sophomore year, her resolve to never use those skills is already cracking. Between the maleficaria and the school’s ruthless hierarchy, she’s not sure which is more dangerous to her fellow losers. Keeping them alive would be a tall enough order in a “normal” year, one without Orion Lake and his unnerving girlfriend throwing everything off. With little to her name but a collection of near-useless Ancient Egyptian spells, a litany of assassination methods, and an affinity that isn’t supposed to be possible, Frieda has to find a way to save her friends and get them all out… Ideally, without losing herself in the process.

I am no longer asking I am Demanding you all read Naomi Novik's Scholomance series and cry about these two fools with me

@libraryforest

[sunnylucy31]

Well I have finished. It was amazing. This ends the LibraryForest The Schoolomance response asks. Thank you for the responses.

El didn’t even set me on fire or turn me to stone in book 3.

El: Pokes me with a stick this time in response to that comment.

Woooo! I’m so glad you had so much fun with them, and I had fun following along! Thanks for sharing your journey with me 😊💛

[sunnylucy31]

El: I have two hands.

In one hand I have my evil mad spreadsheet genius.

In the other hand is my idiot. You has learned nothing over the course of this book series other than that he loves me.

“But he’s very competent. I’m attracted to very competent people”

[sunnylucy31]

Orion in the Schoolomance: I like it here. I will live in the graduation hall killing mals and looking after the Fire machinery. In the summer I will hunt moremouth’s with El. It will be great.

El: Orion has not learned a thing.

Me: Nope I say poping the word.

Honestly I like that Orion gets to stay as himself. Just without the rot that Ophelia gave him

[sunnylucy31]

Liessel: couches why she is helping El’s moremouth killing campaign with reasons why it is good for her to do so.

El: You know I like you.

Liessel: I know that I like you too.

Me: Ahhhhhhhh they are actually making progress communicating.

Maybe one day they’ll actually talk about their feelings more directly!

[sunnylucy31]

Aadhya: I am not a crazy person. I won’t spend my whole life doing this but I will spend some of my life helping you do this.

Me: Is Aadhya the only sane member of Team Yurt? Probably.

Aadhya: These are my crazy friends but they are MY friends.

🛖

She WILL be friends with all of them for the rest of her life, though. I firmly believe that. Team Yurt forever 🛖

[sunnylucy31]

Gwen: If Orion isn’t traumatized by Ophelia you shouldn’t try to make him be traumatized by Ophelia.

Gwen: Also Galadriel you need some therapy instead.

El: Screams of rage. Grudgingly and angrily goes along with mom.

Me: Howling with laughter.

Gwen continues to be the best and eternally correct

[sunnylucy31]

El tells great grandma that she will find a way to be content.

Me: El will be happy and content through sheer stubbornness won’t she.

Also El professional Moremouth Slayer and Shaker of Enclaves.

El’s Family: Professional Golden Stone Enclave Stabilizers.

Liessel: Sigh this would be a very good business plan and yet they are giving it away. Nevertheless it is efficient.

Liesel already knows that you can’t make El do anything selfishly, so better to straighten out whatever plans she does make

[sunnylucy31]

During the stay spell.

Liessel: Everyone form multiple lines.

Me: Even during a massive crises Liessel can tell the others you are doing this inefficiently.

I love her.

She would make for such an amazing battlefield commander if she were so inclined

[sunnylucy31]

Team Yurt has figured out how to changed the Golden Stone Spells so others can use them instead of just insanely powerful magicians like El.

Yay. They changed the world. For the better. More Golden Stones for Everyone.

They managed to do what no one else could for millennia, simply because they wanted to believe a better world was possible. I fucking love it so much

[sunnylucy31]

Team Yurt has added diagrams and notes to the Golden Stones book.

Team Yurt planing their building projects.

Liessel: We have more important things to do than revenge.

Me: Personal growth and hope for everyone.

Oh I guarantee Liesel still has revenge on the brain. Her timeline might have just shifted a bit

[sunnylucy31]

El and Gwen visit Dad’s family in India.

Mom and Grandma hug.

Mom visits Dad’s favorite spot.

Me: this is so happy.

El: I might need to come back to see if I enjoyed this.

Me: Happiness.

Also people are recovering for trauma and losses.

It’s a long road, but friends and caring family make it easier

[sunnylucy31]

Stay and Be Selter.

First Team Yurt, than the Greater Yurt Alliance and then Everyone else The World Yurt Union say it together.

Stay and be Shelter.

Me: Crying and heart is full. People working together and they save the world.

Orion: I will stay El.

😭

I love that scene so fucking much, I’ve seen some amazing fanart of it that I need to tag you on

[sunnylucy31]

El tells Orion that he is already dead.

Me: I wasn’t expecting that. Well all the devoured people including El’s father can truly rest now. And the Schoolomance will now be completely destroyed.

Considering that El says other enclaves are being destroyed I assume that Patience and Fortitude had both devoured other moremouths.

El killed many more than Orion with those words.

The Phrophecy is fulfilled. The Enclaves were Already Dead.

There were a LOT of lives both contained inside him and resting on his shoulders…
