The Seal and the Ravens

Chapter 11: Thia Thia wakes up to another morning in her tower.

Excerpt below the cut!

Thia woke slowly, the sound of birds singing overhead. She couldn’t see them, of course; they must be perched on the roof. She had a keen ear for song, Dala always said so. A clearer, louder song rang out in the room and she pulled the blanket from where it had been over her face, glancing towards the window to see a robin perched on the windowsill, its red breast puffed, its song merry and, in the early morning, loud.

“Good morning,” she said, because she knew this robin well, and sat up. “Give me a moment.”

As she moved from the bed, a loose thread of her hair caught and tugged, the pain momentarily but certainly bearable. She ran her hand under the weight of her braid, but there were no other loose hairs caught in her collar. She rose and stepped over her braid where it swept across the floor. She tried not to move it too much if she could avoid it, letting it sit in its coils by the window like a golden snake. She missed when Dala had been able to brush it through for her. That was too ambitious a feat these days, even for Dala.

Thia cut a slice of leftover cranberry bread and approached the window, slowing her steps, though the robin would never flee now that it smelled its breakfast.

“Here you are,” she said, crumbling some bread between her fingers and dropping it on the windowsill. The robin hopped forward and plucked a piece into his beak with a grateful twitter. Thia sat beside him on the coiled stool that was her hair, alternating between dropping a few extra crumbs for the robin and finishing off the slice herself.

“I know this is your favourite, but I’m out of cranberries,” she said as she finished the slice and sucked the loose crumbs from her fingers. “Once this loaf runs out, you’re out of luck, and so am I.” She rested her elbow on the windowill, not so close that the robin fled, but close enough that she could get a better view of him and, more importantly, the view outside.

my current wips (for fun!!)

I’ve been writing a lot this summer!! Here are some of my favorite ones I’m working on:

Hadestown AU - Currently writing! I’m still deciding exactly how I want to blend the two mediums, but this story features Mike as Orpheus, Will as Eurydice, Henry Hades and Patty Persephone. I’m so excited to finish it….

Madwheeler Road Trip - elmax and byler! Madwheeler embark on a road trip to Montauk that vaguely resembles the plot of the odyssey (idea from @trojantoast !). I have it fully outlined and am starting writing. My idiots <33

Max short story - a short story about Max set in the “face the music” universe, which are my two other fics. Still deciding whether or not to fully commit but I have some snippets!

Theatre Kid AU - Joyce Byers is a director!!!!! Will Byers gets either cast in the lead role opposite Mike or gets cast in the lead role with Mike as stage crew, haven’t decided. But I’m such a theatre kid that I love love love this idea. Will probably pick up writing when I’m in my own school play but I have it fully outlined 🤪

SpideyMike Fic - SPIDEYMIKE X WILL (not really based on anyone unlike MJ wheeler because Will is already perfect ofc), in which Will gets drunk, calls Spiderman hot, and Mike has a slight spiral about it. But he’s fine. Obviously. (Loosely based on @noitsnotacookie’s spideymike art on twt where Will recognizes Mike by the shape of his lips 😼) (also don’t get me wrong I LOOOVE spideywill but spideymike is criminally underrated). Currently editing!! Sooooooon….

Steve+Robin Clock Byler - all the supernatural stuff ends after s4, but now Will is back in town. At the family home video, Robin and Steve realize the homoerotic tension following the two like a plague and decide to help mentor them along their gay journeys. However, along the way, they miiiiight get a BIT distracted by the boys’ older siblings. (Stonathan, Ronance, Byler, Henderhop) - currently written and being edited!! Sooooooon….

So anyways, that’s what I’ve been up to! Not all of these might be published soon or even at all, but I would love some opinions on what yall are most excited to see so I can get some motivation to start cranking it out before school starts again. LOVE YOU ALL 😘😘

Finally forcing myself to make Wraiths armor and man. The balance between too much going on and not enough to suit me is the real struggle
