@sumi-sprite's Larik, if his host was na'vi. Big boi

@wisp-of-chaos's tiny slug scientist for height comparison. Vlassk is shorter than most illithids, but still within normal height range

A sweet little treat for the boys <3

Larik likes waking up early.

Likes watching the first few shy rays of light falling through the curtains and onto Vlassk's sleepy face. They way they tickle and make him grimace and crawl further into the pillows.

He likes watching his tentacles curl and twist idly into the sheets; gripping and unconsciously searching for contact. Likes listening to his slow, steady breaths and sweet little snores.

Likes to see his frills fluttering and his face relaxing when he reaches for him and entangles their tentacles. Likes to hear that little sigh when Vlassk returns the touch and pulls the limb to his chest. Cradles it like something precious.

Loves the way Vlassk's mind so easily and naturally opens to his own; the way it lingers and brushes against his own as if refusing to part with Larik even while asleep.

Smiling, Larik carefully shifts and shuffles closer; lifting an arm to wrap and hug around Vlassk and pull him against his chest.

Vlassk makes a small, grumpy noise and wrinkles his face, but only for a moment. As soon as his sleepy brain realizes he's not being woken up, he happily settles back into the sheets and cuddles against Larik. Vlassk lets out another content sight that makes Larik's heart melt and his mind sparks with joy.

Adorable, he thinks and leans down to nuzzle the top of his head; feeling his frills fluttering once more and making him snicker quietly.

There's a displeased tremble in Vlassk's mind, followed by another grumbling sound and then he moves. Barely a moment later, his mismatched gaze meets Larik's and offers a sweet, sleepy smile.

“G' mornin'”, he mumbles with a little stretch before curling right back into his chest. His own rumbles with a quiet purr and Larik happily joins in.

“Good morning my sweet siren”, he says and kisses his cheek; prompting another one of those adorable little giggles out of him he can never get enough of. “Slept well?”

Vlassk nods. “Of course”, he says and leans up to press a little kiss to his cheek. “With you on my side, always.”

Larik hears and feels the warmth and truth behind those words and is left speechless; tentacles curling and tingling and face turning into a soft, fond smile. “As do I”, he says and cradles Vlassk's face between his hands, and realizes that he never ever wants to miss this again – never wants to miss Vlassk in his life.

“I love you”, he can't help but say and pull him close; tentacles twining and mind mingling. He hears a tiny, surprised yelp and then another sweet giggle. Feels Vlassk's tentacles curl around his own and his arms wrapping around his shoulders to return the embrace.

“Love you too”, he answers just as naturally and easily and presses a kiss to his collarbone, and Larik feels like the happiest man alive.

I wanted a picture of Dahlia with her adoptive dads, Vlassk and Larik, so here it is! Look at this cute little family! I love them 🥰 Vlassk belongs to @wisp-of-chaos and Larik belongs to @sumi-sprite I used art by @unaarista as a reference again. I hope y’all like this drawing! :)

Alright buckle up I Have Questions for your OC's!

Which canon character is pissed off by the general presence of your OC? (we all have those people) - for Xo'to

Does your OC have a crush on anyone? - for Bones

Who would your OC most likely to get a puppy-crush on? (but it can’t be the cc /oc they’re actually shipped with!) - for Larik

Who has your OC made cry? - for Hal

What is the worst thing your OC does in their story? - for Xo'To again

*makes grabby hands* <3

YES YES YEEEEESSS!!!!

Let’s fucking do this.

In relation to THIS OC ask game! https://www.tumblr.com/sumi-sprite/772312080564043776/fandom-oc-ask-meme?source=share

1.) Which canon character is pissed off by the general presence of your OC? (we all have those people) - for Xo'to

This answer correlates to Xo’to’s pre-ceromorphosis host, Falann! So aside from their enemies (Thorm, Orin, what’s-his-puffy-face-tyrant-bitch), the one character that absolutely despises Falann/Xo’to’s guts...is Mizora. She cannot stand their entire personality. They outright rejected her advances - very kindly I might add, but it only made her madder. They’re still polite and kind in spite of all her bullshit and desperate grabs for control over Wyll, ask her how her day is, would she like some mince pie, where is she sleeping, she hates hates HATES THEM. 100% wants to see their soul crushed, devoured, then spat out. Utterly disgusted they’d rather fuck a 7ft space squid than HER.

2.) Does your OC have a crush on anyone? - for Bones

Wrathbone - aka “Bones” as his known and favored nickname - is actually ace/aro and has no infatuations on anyone at this time! He actually gets uncomfortable with flirting from strangers, though close friends can get away with mock-flirting. He’ll just roll his eyes at them lol

3.) Who would your OC most likely to get a puppy-crush on? (but it can’t be the cc /oc they’re actually shipped with!) - for Larik

Larik, despite being a romantic, doesn’t fall for people easily, but for a puppy love crush? It’s a bit of a toss up between Gale and Halsin! Gale because Larik has a huge soft spot for nerds, and Gale is a fellow romantic, and a very empathetic and soft sort of guy. Halsin because of his own brand of tebby-bear softness. Larik is more liable to have a crush on Gale though, as he does have a certain type, and does overall prefer someone smaller he can hold more easily. Halsin has too similar a build to Larik and wouldn’t be as easy to pick up lol

He would also ADORE Karlach for just being herself overall, but they’d definitely make better BFFs than lovers.

4.) Who has your OC made cry? - for Hal

Interestingly, Hal hasn’t really made anyone cry across the fandoms he’s been transplanted in. At least not in a personal sense. He has technically brought suitors to crocodile tears when he rejects them, but those were more for manipulation than actual hurt. He’s delivered bad news that made people cry, but he himself has never done or said anything to make someone hurt so much they cried. He’s actually very tactful when it comes to potentially hurtful topics, though he does have a three-strike rule for those who keep pushing it.

5.) What is the worst thing your OC does in their story? - for Xo'To again

In their OG story? The worst thing Xo’to has done that haunts them to this day is consuming the brain of a child. After being abandoned by their illithid exploration party, they fell into the underdark and were severe injured and concussed - the upside to this head injury being it damaged a part of their brain that creates susceptibility to Elder Brain enthrallment, so now they are essentially immune. They were captured though by Lolth Drow and thrown into a containment prison where they would be used as a potential slave. They endured torture of all sorts, and of course, starvation. They were barely a juvenile at the time, and so hungry they were delirious. One day, someone - a child - was thrown into their cell. They don’t recall when it happened, only that, when they woke up, the child was dead, and had a hole in the back of their head, and Xo’to was no longer starving. 

They never forgave themselves for the slip in control, and to this day are haunted by memories of the child’s sobs and cries for their mother. Somewhere are faint memories of them begging Xo’to to let go, they were hurting her, please don’t...

In their BG3 arc, the worst thing they did was decide that their affection and loyalty to Emperor was more important than freeing Orpheus. They never recovered from that, and the Emperor has quietly expressed regret for not taking Xo’to’s pleas and at least trying to reason with Orpheus before taking drastic measures. This may in fact be the catalyst for their strain/breakup qwq

(Though in my own meta/fanfic verse, Xo’to does succeed in convincing Emps to stop being a prideful prick and TRUST THEM and try the peaceful approach first, you raging octopus fuck hole).

Thank you so much to @wisp-of-chaos for these wonderful asks and feeding my need to blabber about my OCs!!!

I was once again awful to my slug :x

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

Vlassk may not be able to fight the hot summer temperatures but might just have a solution to get rid of the heat burning in his insides, no matter how embarrassing or unfamiliar it is. Unfortunately however, he still isn't fully cleansed of the lingerin poison of his past.

Planets!

I've compiled a list of planets that exist in the universe of In The Ocean of Stars. Most of these planets are going to appear or be mentioned in the first book. As the series goes on, I will be adding to this "codex" of sorts, and hopefully finding a proper star chart creator to actually show you guys how these systems and planets look in the universe they're in!

These planets are going to be listed from being human-colonized to being mixed-species, to homeworlds. You'll find that there are plenty of human colonies in most parts of the galaxy!

More will be added as time goes on!

Epsilon Proioxis Cluster

The Wastes (Minox Star System)

CALENDOR- One of the many desert planets that encompass The Wastes. Calendor was the primary sight to The Great Incursion War, a war fought between a human separatist movement and The Council of Interplanetary Systems. The town of Purity, Valerian's birthplace, is considered the "capital" of the planet. Calendor has other parts of its planet that has actual vegetation and wildlife, but contain little in the way of Byrantium, a key element used in fuel for space travel. Baton Creek, Peter's hometown, is also in Calendor.

LARIK- Is what can be best described as a marsh. Do not let the green vegetation and plentiful water of this planet fool you- most of the plant species that exist here are toxic to human physiology. Humans came to the planet originally for farmland, but after many unsuccessful attempts at establishing a colony, it soon became a place where criminals and pirates can escape the clutches of Council law. Larik soon became a haven for smugglers, crime organizations, and anyone in the underworld worth their salt who needed to stash their contraband- or crimes- in a bog. Rio Oscuro, Javier's hometown, is a major port in Larik.

VURYA- Vurya is another arid desert planet, with Vurya being the most recently settled planet by humans over the past fifty years or so. Vurya was primarily colonized for its natural resources, but also housed many refugees from Calendor during the war. The town of Calamity, though small and not of much note, was home for both the MC and Yoshie as children.

OTHER PLANETS IN THE EPSILON PROIOXIS CLUSTER

Minox Star System

HYCENA- One of the more hospitable planets, Hycena is home to multiple different climates and continents. The size of the human population on Hycena is the largest in the cluster, and is home to multiple towns and cities. The towns of Shaton and Whiskey City (Rosalie and Thane's hometowns respectively) reside here.

KAN-LA- The Anderra homeworld, Kan-La is one of the only planets in the system that's not been claimed in some capacity by the Council. Kan-La is a volcanic, mostly inhospitable planet with an incredibly dense atmosphere. The Anderrans are the only known alien species to have the physiology capable of withstanding the otherwise deadly environment.

ZAYR- Home to the Lyvera, an incredibly advanced species known for the telepathy and connection to the Vidarri. The Lyverans claim they're descendants of the Vidarri, despite ancient sources describing the Vidarri homeworld far outside the Minox Star System. The Lyvera are a hostile people, unwilling to interact with most alien races in the galaxy due to their cultural heritage and proclamation that they are "other" and "better" than most. They have a particular hate toward humans. They were part of The Great incursion War.
