#noniad

[mummfuckerprime]

So if we were to outline the Noniad as a series, I think the first book would be the birth of the legend Matthias Nonius and how he became so great with the sword. That would make sense to me. If that is the case, I wonder what type of parents he had, or if he had parents at all. Was he an orphan? Would the House already be in decline, or would the death of Nonius be something that signaled the decline of the Ninth House? So he was alive 1000 years before the Reverend Daughter. Is there any reference in the text to events that took place specifically in that time frame so we can build a picture of what life was like back then? So much work to do...

Wait, I don't think much has changed. Well, that might be because of two things: BoE having the Herald bullets, and I guess the Resurrection Beasts putting the Lyctors largely on the run. So maybe much has not changed. What do we all think?

I just think they deserve to live their own epic fairytale in the River

[winter-wise]

Awake Remembrance of These Valiant Dead got defeated by a Woken Remembrance of Valiant Dead - Matthias Nonius.

Abigail Pent 'woke' Nonius by summoning him from the river,

Nonius is influenced by Ortus' Noniad (like speaking in meter): he's not just Matthias Nonius, he's Matthias Nonius as 'remembered' by the Ninth House

And Nonius is considered one of the Ninth's House's most 'valiant dead'

"I wield a sword but you wield your heart. Your devotion to my memory could call my soul through a thousand years of death, and past that you've treated me with care and devotion still. How could you think I'd not look at you twice?"

So I kinda keep this blog safe but, uh, I'm legit proud of having written this?

Do you think Ortus Nigenad deserved better?

Do you have strong feelings about him and Matthias Nonius?

Do you want to read 7k words of finely crafted emotional interaction with love and mutual caring and tenderness and also they do the sex?

Do you want three new lines of ennameter poetry used for both in story expansion to the concept of magic and also a very stupid pickup line?

Do you want to see a man who thinks he's unloveable finding out that he is truly not?

Ortus and Matthias living on past the battle in the river because ??? but they have each other?

Well boy oh boy have I written the fic for you!

Yes, on the weekend I wrote an attempt at Noniad smut in the form of Ortus writing a self-insert Otrus/Matthias poem in ennameter, badly, because I didn't really get it until after I was done. But I liked the wee story I constructed so I decided to write a new version of it in prose, with context, and more insight, and so I sat down and churned out seven thousand words of what I'm going to call "actually good writing". Tbh outline's the same but the actual everything is quite different to the poem.

God help me bc there’s only like 5 fics for them, but I am really getting into the concept of Ortus/Matthias Nonius. Ortus deserves having the man he always admired be just as fascinated by little old him... to literally get to kiss his muse 🥺

Ortus Nigenad does not understand why the great Matthias Nonius would stand beside him.

A little one-shot I wrote because I finished Harrow the Ninth a couple of hours ago and Ortus and Matthias were so good together UGH.
