Khadgar is used to sudden upheavals in his life. He's always prepared for one--and while that doesn't make it easier to face when his life gets turned upside down, it does mean that he's not surprised anymore.
But when a chromatic whelpling shows up in Shattrath City wielding Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian, Khadgar finds himself completely thrown and caught up in a whirlwind of events, new friends, and parental feelings he hadn't realized that he'd had the capacity for. He finds himself torn between his self-imposed duty to defend Azeroth and his newfound desire to protect Prima at all costs--and with her own notions of becoming a Guardian for Azeroth, he's in for more than he bargained for when he involved himself in her life.

I figured I should put a post out on Tumblr about one of my current projects--a fanfic series featuring Khadgar trying very hard to live a normal life and failing miserably and adopting a chromatic whelpling instead. You do need to be logged into AO3 to read it, because I want to reduce the risk of it getting scraped by a bot, so, sorry about that!
Chromatic Light is completely finished, but the series is ongoing. Part two is completely prewritten and I’m reaching the end of writing part three, so you can rest assured that it’s not going to get stuck in a WIP state forever. This fic can also be called “Khadgar Gets Adopted By Three Lizards,” but that didn’t quite have the same ring to it.
Not sure if you want to read it yet? What about now? (Art done by the wonderful @dragonheartftherpays and posted with their permission.)
As for Medivh, well... he doesn’t directly appear in Chromatic Light. But his haunting of the narrative becomes a little more direct in part two, On Ebon Wings (read: he crashes into the story and Khadgar has to ask himself, “Are you for fucking real right now?” at the stupid crush he develops in response).
