I can’t believe my best friend bullied me into 1. reading Zodiac Academy and 2. Writing fanfiction for Zodiac Academy.

Je ne regrette rien

More Caleth but he’s twins instead of one dude now??

One (prob keeping the name Caleth) saved and given special treatment by his powerful mother, coddled from afar and allowed to rise up in the ranks further than an Altered Elf is usually allowed.

The other kidnapped from his father’s (Nuri) care and experimented on for some years before being finally being found and rescued by Nuri’s companions. There’s some bitterness for a while.

From Nuri’s perspective not a lot changes until later on, despite twins and triplets being pretty common where Altered Elves are involved, he isn’t even aware he has more than the one son that was stolen from him. He searches for years for his kid, so when he runs into this rowdy soldier that looks identical to his son, and seems to be completely brainwashed and using the wrong name, he doesn’t question it.

More from this AU.

Caleth is raised a mortal prince, but is actually the stolen son of a major god of the seasons who’s chained and forgotten beneath the castle. After he discovers the god in the basement and visits him on a regular basis, until eventually both are able to escape.

This is just me thinking about how he grows up and changes!

AU where Caleth’s a bastard prince and Nuri’s a god chained up under the castle

Hope you don’t mind a big ol’ sketch post, this time miscellaneous Wildflowers flavoured.

[slowedmountains]

I’ve just come to realise that Wildflowers, the setting with the highly militarised elf state who are really into eugenics, child sacrifice and generally ruining everyone else’s day, is also the setting that contains all of my most well put together characters.

Though I guess it does level out a bit when it’s also where the neurotic, severely brainwashed nightmare called Caleth, who believes frantically waving knives towards strangers is the same as a hello, lives.

[slowedmountains]

I need to figure out writing Caleth more because he has to be... really stuck to resort to using a three or more syllable word, mostly remains silent even if you’d expect an answer from him at that point. He’s just spent a lot of his time patrolling alone so ??? people talk to other people??? Does not compute

Mello for their part probably tunes into that fairly quickly, figures out how to translate his grunts and subtle reactions with decent accuracy.

[slowedmountains]

He takes himself very seriously.
