@shadowsignet | wanted Fourth Wing starter (Sloane)

She grinned. "Hey Stranger." the blonde bounced over to stand by his side. She was sure her foster parents would be looking for her, but she'd managed to sneak away fro a few moments to find her favourite people. She was sad that she wouldn't get to come to Basgiath while Xaden, Garrick and Bodhi were still here. But couldn't really stop an age system. So she would take any moment to come while she could. Which included sneaking away while her Foster father was here completing paperwork. Not that he didn't know she'd try sneak away. She was ninety percent sure that's why he had insisted on coming to complete the paperwork in person and tag her along.

@shadowsignet sent an ask to (Sgaeyl) //

[ PREVENT ] for (Sgaeyl) to stop (Xaden) from going too far during a fight. 

She roared her frustration in his mind, and Sgaeyl would not silence herself. She could hear Tairn, but even he was more distant than her rider in that moment. Even her mate did not affect her as much as Xaden was doing.

❝ Stop! ❞ It was more anger than fear that coated that single word, Sgaeyl screaming it as she raced against time towards him. She could feel him, sense him; he was going to break, to burn out if he didn't--

❝ You're going to kill yourself! ❞ And damn if she didn't want to break in a new rider right now. Besides... she actually liked this one.

@shadowsignet sent an ask to (Liam) //

“ i don’t want you here. just go. ”

He didn't say anything; Liam merely rolled his eyes and took steps to close the distance between them. ❝ Garrick said you'd say that. Bodhi too. ❞ But Liam had just shrugged, and he'd decided to ignore the "warning" the others had given.

Instead, he sat down next to Xaden, letting the silence extend a bit longer. Sometimes that was all each of them needed, Liam felt. To know they weren't in this crap world alone.

❝ You want to talk about it? Or just brood in raging silence? ❞

@shadowsignet: ♡'d for a starter from LIAM

 ❛❛ SHE'S not going to like this, ❜❜ liam warned, though there was no sign of protest in his expression or tone. he and xaden had practically grown up together, bonded over their parents' involvement in the rebellion, and there wasn't much that liam wouldn't do for the older male. xaden's sacrifice had kept them alive and if he wanted liam to act like violet's bodyguard, the younger male wouldn't object.  ❛❛ i mean, i'll obviously do it. i just know she's not going to like it. it might make it look like you care, ❜❜ he flashed the other a playful smirk.  ❛❛ you're sure this is what you want, right ? ❜❜

[oakthcrn-a]

❛ just fucking leave me alone! ❜

She hadn't meant to be annoying or overbearing. She simply wanted to ask Xaden a few questions about battle movements or what was the best way to execute a fighting technique. However, when she finally got a moment alone with him, she shouted at her and cursed even.

Lark blinked there, standing utterly still as she stared at him in shock. She felt her jaw tighten, her pulse quickened as a brewing anxiety was growing. She exhaled a soft, morose sigh as her shoulders slumped.

❝ Fine.❞ She said in a taciturn tone, though her brows furrowed into a hardened stare.

❝ Stew in your own self-pity then, It isn't my fault Violet is angry with you. ❞ She said in a cold fury. She pivoted and began to storm off. Fine, if Xaden didn't want to speak with her, she didn't want to speak with him, there were plenty of other people she could ask. He could go sit in syrup and she hoped the bees would get him.

@shadowsignet sent a thing.

                    palms pressed against aching gaze, the pressure hardly easing the exhaustion which pained them so.   this was a burden, like most others, that she would simply have to bear, but proven all the harder for being on top of an aching body as well.   one pass, then two, then three, she finally stopped unless she’d hurt her eyes all the more for the rubbing.   nothing seemed to go well these days, did it?   it was as if the world was against her, more than usual anyway.   frustration built within her ribs, begging for release like the power that now so easily crackled to her fingertips.   when was she ever going to have a good night of sleep, one not haunted by images she barely even understood, let alone recognized?

@shadowsignet 𝔯𝔢𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔡: "you look like hell. have you been sleeping?" he's not any better, but their time together is so limited he has to check on her first. violet is in the present, the now, unlike watching aretia burn from the back of a stranger's dragon while more clashed overhead in blinding rain.

                    xaden’s voice didn’t shatter the haze around her, but he did manage to cut into it, violet attempting to muster a smile as she turned to face him fully.   he too appeared to have gotten little sleep, and the last thing she wished for was to bother him more with another issue.   on top of the ‘keeping her alive unless he also died’.   the overwhelming wave of being a burden to those around her practically drowned the young rider, but only practice kept the half smile on her lips.   she couldn’t say if she sufficiently hid it in her gaze, but there was only so much she could do.

                    ❝  it was alright.  ❞      not a complete lie.   her bed was comfortable enough, as always.   but was it enough truth that he would be unable to tell?   or was her shields up enough to mask it from him?   doubt crept in easily regarding both cases, but she still held her ground nevertheless.     ❝  are you saying i don’t look good right now?  ❞    it’s a weak attempt at a tease, honestly pathetic, but what wasn’t about her right now?    ❝  i think you should be looking in the mirror though.   how much sleep did you get?  ❞

@shadowsignet sent an ask (for Sgaeyl) //

There aren't enough curse words in the world for this.

❝ Well, in all the languages you know. ❞ Sgaeyl's response coated with slight amusement, her eyes shining with it as she blinked in his direction. ❝ Create some more... Make some up... Surely it's how human language evolved... ❞

It was just the two of them this far out, which she was perfectly fine with. Sgaeyl knew the others were close, but there were times when she sought her own solace--in as much as her rider probably did.

@shadowsignet 𝔯𝔢𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔡: YEET plots please

[ 𝔬𝔫𝔢 ] okay, so this one would take quite a bit of plotting for the details and how exactly it would work out, but how about an au in which the rebellion succeeded? would any of what was done be reversed? how would the world be different? how would the last five years of their lives be different? i think at the very least, there would a switch in their positions at the very least. would she even have to go to the quadrant? so many fun questions to answer!

[ 𝔱𝔴𝔬 ] modern au. what sort of conflict would be between them? because surely there would be something. there is plenty of potential fodder there. but also, watching them navigate the modern world with their personalities would be most interesting. plus, no dragons to force them together as friends, let alone anything else. would they be able to overcome that or would that leave them forever enemies?

[ 𝔱𝔥𝔯𝔢𝔢 ] okay okay but how about a western au? something her parents did left him without his, and now he is itching for revenge. perhaps like with her scribe au, they first meet without him having a clue to who she's related or perhaps instead he is in the midst of succeeding. there's so many options amongst the world of cowboys, settlers, western justice, and land grabs. but even without it, there's plenty of chances for them to clash.

[ 𝔣𝔬𝔲𝔯 ] finally, we could do something more traditional fantasy, where her mother is more of an unusual figure, where magic is purely innate and not connected to dragons, and bonding to said dragons is far more rare. what would be the stakes and how would they meet? certainly, they'd still end up with their dragons but would they still have their magic? i know for violet, i'm leaning toward her not having any. there's a whole bunch of interesting worldbuilding to do!
